The scholar left the academy and went to Wuliu.

As for whether to leave or stay next, the dean of Wuliu, who returned it, had the final say, and the scholar didn't take the few taels of silver to heart.

The scholar saw Wuliu under a strong plane tree, and Wuliu was standing under the tree, twisting the wooden sword in his hand, looking up at a pair of birds that were difficult to distinguish between male and female making nests, and from time to time let out an exclamation or two.

The scholar gave Wuliu a salute, and did not mention the matter of staying for the time being.

In fact, the scholar didn't know that this ordinary old man was the dean here, and he had always treated him as an old teacher, and finally learned from Chen Jiaoxi's mouth.

After a while, Wu Liu withdrew his eyes from the height, and the scholar asked, "Dean Wu, Mu Qing has come back." ”

Wuliu snorted, glanced at the scholar, and said, "Ready to leave?"

The scholar nodded and said, "I'm afraid that there is no need for two literature classes for the time being, and Mu Qing alone is enough." ”

Wuliu smiled: "There is a better place to go, if you don't have it, you stay, I see that you are very interested in those children, and the children also like you, it's a pity to leave." ”

The scholar looked at Wuliu suspiciously.

Wuliu said: "Mu Qing is only coming back temporarily, it is estimated that it will not take long, and he will leave, this time I am afraid that I will not look back." ”

The scholar felt that Wuliu had something to say, but he didn't ask, after all, it had nothing to do with him.

Wuliu walked away with a smile, walked a few steps and turned back, and said, "You should move, change to a more spacious place, I can go and drink." ”

The scholar frowned and asked, "Dean Wu also knows about this?"

Wu Liu cocked his beard and said, "Panlong Town is only a big place, it's hard to think about it." ”

Uliu left this time and didn't look back.

The scholar returned to the hut, took out the deed under the pillow and glanced at it a few times, it turned out that the old owner was called Zheng Guozhang, who was over eighty years old, had no children and no daughters, and had never married a wife in his life.

The scholar took the deed, strode to the old house, and began to roll up his sleeves and put it away, first he opened all the windows to ventilate, then poured water and swept the floor, and removed all the debris, and then began to repair the courtyard wall and the courtyard gate.

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so the scholar continued to repair the loopholes in the windows, repair the leaks in the roof, and during this time, he also went to the street, bought some applications, moved the muddy water, and was busy for most of the day, and finally cleaned up the courtyard in good shape.

According to the feng shui gentleman, moving is the joy of housewarming, and it is a blessing and a curse, especially in the old house where someone has just died, so the scholar had to spend a tael of silver to get back a bowl of "holy water".

When everything was in order, the scholar uncovered the red cloth of the "holy water" and dipped his hand in the water and sprinkled it on the corners of the house, to the effect that the house had a new owner, and those evil things had been moved.

In fact, the scholar didn't believe in this, but he also wanted to be auspicious, which is also the reason why he moved, whether he could change his luck in the dark.

At dusk, the scholar first moved the pillow according to Mr. Feng Shui's words, and then poured his salute and miscellaneous things upside down, after doing this, the scholar wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, looked at the bright room, and suddenly sighed in his heart, the room was a little too big, and he seemed a little cold when he lived alone, if it was two people, it would be different, but unfortunately the person was not there.

This night to warm the house, the scholar did not go out, filled a few dry firewood in the stove pit, sat cross-legged on the still cold kang, began to quietly turn the book by the moonlight, the light of the moonlight sprinkled on the tree, can vaguely see those array symbols, the scholar began to free his hands in the air to sketch and draw, it seems that there has been no drawing for a long time, the movements of the hands have slowed down a lot, but still draw a few in one go

Ten Array Talismans.

I don't know what time it was, the scholar felt some swelling pain in his head, his eyes were a little astringent, and he gradually became sleepy, just when the scholar was about to lie down and fall asleep, someone knocked gently on the door outside.

Seeing the red figure under the moonlight, the scholar had a headache, but he still opened the door, but did not invite people into the house, but blocked the door.

The scholar sneered: "You are very good at choosing the time. ”

Mu Qing smiled: "You said that you can come at any time, so you came, don't you regret it?"

Under the moonlight, Mu Qing smiled very sweetly, her watery eyes were half-open and half-closed, especially the two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth, and the scholar did not dare to associate her with a murderous person no matter what.

The scholar was helpless and handed over the clothes that were still fragrant.

Mu Qing took the clothes and hugged them in his arms, and chuckled: "I'm not going to invite this girl in to sit down, this girl only kills people, not eats people, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

The scholar shook his head and said, "I'm very scared, especially at this time." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Mu Qing's body move slightly, and squeezed directly between the scholar and the door frame, the scholar was forced to move back by the two peaks on Mu Qing's chest, in fact, he could have blocked Mu Qing, but in the face of the turbulent waves, he didn't want to have any contact with Mu Qing.

Mu Qing entered the house, walked around the ground, suddenly stared at a certain place on the kang, and said: "At that time, the old man was sleeping here, so I used a little trick, in fact, he didn't walk painfully at all, and this girl is the most merciful in the past few years." ”

The scholar said: "It is also taking people's lives, is there a difference?"

Mu Qing avoided this question and said, "Is there anything that needs to be sewn?" Today, this girl is happy and can do it for you. ”

The scholar shook his head and said, "Mu Qing, who is your next target?"

Mu Qing was suddenly stunned, turned to look at the scholar, the delicate face got closer and closer, and just as the scholar was about to avoid it, Mu Qing laughed and said mysteriously: "Wuliu." ”

The scholar was suddenly shocked, and subconsciously stared at Mu Qing, as if he couldn't believe that this sentence came from her mouth.

Although there is no light in the house, there is a reason for the moonlight to fall, and it can still be vaguely distinguished, at this time, the scholar's eyes have not moved away from Mu Qing's face, Mu Qing also stared at the scholar, the two looked at each other a few times, and the scholar asked: "Why did Jiang Xiaobai kill Wuliu?"

Mu Qing sneered: "No comment!"

The scholar also sneered: "When will it be my turn?"

Mu Qing sneered, hugged the clothes in his arms and walked out the door.

Soon, the figure as red as blood disappeared into the night.

The scholar was no longer sleepy, and began to lean against the wall and close his eyes and think deeply, although he had little contact with Wuliu, but he didn't want the old man to die, if Wuliu died, should the school also be disbanded, so that he couldn't watch Wuliu die, thinking of Wuliu's words today, the scholar suddenly shuddered.

Mu Qing walked away from the scholar and went to the river, a blood-colored shadow stood by the river and looked at the river in a daze, after a few breaths, he untied his long hair and gathered it back together, and then the figure disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of a courtyard near the school.

In the small courtyard lived an old couple, Wuliu and his wife.

At this moment, the house was pitch black, without any lights, Mu Qing was standing under a tree, looking coldly along the stone path to the dark house in the distance, her hands behind her back were trembling, I don't know when, she had a short sword in her hand, and the short sword reflected the cold moonlight.

I don't know how long it took, Mu Qing took a few deep breaths and left.

She walked aimlessly in the streets and alleys of Panlong Town, walking and stopping, did she sigh, with it

After that, he went straight in a certain direction.

After about a moment of incense, the red shadow came to a mass grave, and began to walk carefully among the half-man-high graves, occasionally bowing to one of them, occasionally slowing down and contemplating a little.

When the sky was about to dawn, Mu Qing went away in the sky.

Soon the scholar came, but he didn't walk into the mound for the first time, he wandered outside for a while, feeling that there was nothing abnormal around, so he tiptoed in and began to look for Mu Qing's footprints and walk slowly.

Finally, the scholar stopped at what appeared to be a new grave.

There is a woodcut tablet at the head of the tomb, the inscription is engraved with the words Zheng Guozhang, just now Mu Qing stopped in front of this tomb for the longest time, maybe it was guilt, maybe it was some reason, the scholar did not think deeply, and finally stopped in front of the tablet engraved with Kanazawa, and there were still some shabby offerings left in front of the tomb.

The scholar stopped at Kanazawa's grave for a long time before it was dark.

For the next period of time, nothing happened in Panlong Town.

The scholar spent most of his time in his small courtyard, leveling the land in the small courtyard, he was going to plant some fresh vegetables, and then plant a few green fruit trees.

Wu Liu didn't greet the scholar, he went directly into the house and moved a wooden table, put some things to drink on the table, drank two bowls of wine, pushed it in front of the scholar one night, changed his previous rigorous tone, and said with a smile: "Child, have you been in Panlong Town for more than three months?"

The scholar nodded.

The two picked up the bowl, touched it shallowly, pecked it each, Wuliu narrowed his eyes, and said, "Has Mu Qing often come over recently?"

The scholar did not hide it, and replied: "There have been five or six times before and after, and they all came in the middle of the night on the third watch. ”

Wuliu smiled: "Nothing happened between the two?"

The scholar hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Dean Wu said that it was funny, that Mu Qing is not an ordinary woman, even if I think about it, people may not be happy, and the twisted melon is not sweet." ”

Wu Liu stroked his spotless silver beard and said with a smile: "That's right, you must keep the basics of being a person, especially for cultivators, if you want to be happy for a while, you may lose more than you gain." ”

The scholar frowned and said with a smile, "When did Dean Wu find out that I was a cultivator?"

Wu Liu smiled lightly: "The handprint you left on the stake was still erased by me for you, as for why you are so young and why you pretend to be so sophisticated and deep, Wu doesn't want to know, but the hard work you have poured into those children during this time, Wu Mou's eyes are not blind to see clearly, Wu Mou thinks you have something unspeakable." ”

The scholar said with a smile: "Dean Wu has said it, most of the juniors are also for their own considerations, and they came to Panlong Town thousands of miles away, purely for distraction. ”

Wuliu took a sip of wine and said with a playful smile: "It's okay to relax, but you're in the wrong place." ”

The wine bowl that the scholar picked up did not touch his mouth, nor did it fall, he took a few breaths in the air, and suddenly asked, "Dean Wu, if someone wants to kill you, what are your ways to deal with it?"

and the scholar's imagination was unwilling, Wuliu was not surprised when he heard this, and even there was no trace of waves on the old face, he casually stuffed a few mouthfuls of snacks and vegetables, and suddenly smiled and said: "There is no chance of winning, have there been fewer people who have died in Panlong Town in recent years, that river has been full of white bones, and all the people who have broken the Five Realms have died silently, the old man is worried that if it goes on like this, Panlong Town will have no successor." ”

Wuliu took a sip of wine and said in a low voice: "Many children are good seedlings of cultivation, such as Ah Lang, such as Qin Chunlin, such as Nan Xifeng, if they can't leave Panlong Town, the consequences will be a dead end, alas." ”

Just when the scholar didn't know how to answer, Mu Qing walked slowly in the distance.
