During the ten days of rest, Mu Yi was not idle, in addition to the normal stick technique and hidden weapon practice, he began to try to practice swords.

He had this idea because Qin Duxiu had communicated with him several times on the road, and Qin Duxiu mentioned to Mu Yi that his master's discovery that Mu Yi's stick technique looked very similar to swordsmanship, while his moves were more like spearmanship.

Qin Duxiu guessed that if Mu Yi tried to practice swords, he might be able to speed up his understanding of the essence of the Sword Sutra, not only mastering new skills, but also improving his proficiency in stick techniques.

After Qin Duxiu's initial guidance, Mu Yi found that the practice of swordsmanship could indeed give him a lot of inspiration for stick techniques, so after Qin Duxiu left, Mu Yi also continued to practice swordsmanship.

In addition to practicing and recuperating from his injuries, Mu Yi did something else, that is, with the characteristics of the rich sources of information of the big faction, he spent a lot of money to buy the latest information on the rivers and lakes from the people of Huashan, and began to analyze the number of other forces and teams that came to this world.

The information obtained by Mu Yi shows that there are three very interesting newcomers in the rivers and lakes recently, righteous thieves, killers, and fast catchers, although they have different identities, their behavior is almost the same, and they quickly complete what their identities should do, fast and efficient, as if they are not a person but a doppelganger.

Judging by the three newcomers who have come to the fore, there should be at least three teams here. Their locations are also different, they are located in Lingnan, Bashu, and Jinmen, which are the same as Mobei in Muyi, and they are all far away from the center of the incident, Shenjian Villa. It is very much in line with the characteristics of the appearance of the contractor.

The corners of Mu Yi's mouth raised slightly, because he was walking in front of everyone again, he could rest assured that he would go in his own direction.

On the eleventh day of cultivation, Mu Yi chose to leave, and when he walked out of the mountain gate, he found that Mei Changhua personally came to see him off, Mu Yi turned over and dismounted, and walked to his side.

"You're very good at sticking, but I won't keep my hands next time." Mei Changhua said with a smile.

"You're strong, and I think so too." Mu Yi smiled and said, "I will also kill in the next battle." ”

After Mu Yi finished speaking, the two laughed at the same time, and the hatred of both sides disappeared in an instant.

"Goodbye!" Mei Changhua waved his hand.

"Goodbye!" Mu Yi smiled and turned over on his horse, "I'll go first." So saying, he patted his horse and left.

Mu Yi rushed out of Huashan with two horses, facing the rising sun all the way south and pointing straight to Wudang.

······

Because of the January Covenant, Mu Yi was not in a hurry, and slowly advanced to the south. He traveled all the way, and the first hundred miles of the road took three days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, just after Mu Yi ran out of the Huashan faction's sphere of influence, the feeling of thorns on his back suddenly appeared on his body, and it seemed that someone was eyeing him!

Without saying a word, Mu Yi swung his whip fiercely, and drove the horses under him to gallop. His equestrian skills are still good, with the skill of one person and two horses, Mu Yi ran more than 150 miles at dusk.

When he met an inn, Mu Yi finally chose to stop and rest, not because he was unwilling to continue on the road, but because he was worried that his horse really needed to rest, otherwise he would probably die on the road.

And the feeling of his stinging on his back did not disappear all the way, which showed that this enemy could not be avoided, and Mu Yi decided to solve everything in front of the inn.

Mu Yi just stopped running the hall that was napping at the door and walked over: "Is the guest officer staying in the hotel?" ”

"Open the room, help me feed them, and prepare another table of wine and food." Mu Yi threw a piece of silver and the reins of the horse to the running hall, and after the running hall left, Mu Yi directly pulled out the long stick behind his back and stood directly in front of the door of the inn.

The twilight is deeper, and darkness is about to cover the land.

Mu Yi stood up straight, faced the darkness in front of him, and said coldly, "Hello, in Xia Nie Ming, what does it mean that Your Excellency has followed all the way?" ”

After a long time, there was really a response in the darkness, and the man said lightly, "I'm not good." The cold voice, hoarse and low.

When Mu Yi heard this, he remembered a person, who was also a famous killer in this Jianghu.

As the voice came out, a man slowly walked out of the darkness, and the light of the inn's lantern reflected his figure and outfit - black clothes and black hair, black sheathed sword, black face as if with a kind of death color, only a pair of dark eyes were shining.

He walked slowly, but his whole body seemed to be lilt, and his feet didn't seem to be on the ground at all, like an elf ghost in the dark.

Mu Yi's pupils contracted suddenly, and he asked in surprise, "Are you a crow?" I didn't think I'd meet you! But why are you here? ”

"I'm a crow, it's not good to meet me, it's really not." The raven's answer was devoid of any emotion.

Crows are not magpies, and no one likes to meet crows. In ancient times, there was a legend that when the crow came, there would be calamity. What calamity did he bring this time? Perhaps he is a scourge in his own right, a calamity that cannot be avoided.

Mu Yi continued to ask, "Why are you here?" Your opponent should be a famous swordsman in the rivers and lakes, right? After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember something, and directly untied the decapitation sword behind his back, and threw it at the crow with all his strength.

The crow reached out and caught the swiftly flying sword, then drew his sword and looked at it carefully for a while, before finally he sighed in disappointment.

He said, "Someone invited me out of the mountain, and he mentioned that you have a sword in your hand that makes Kongtong, Huashan, and Wudang all tempted, so I came." But it's a pity, they should be interested in you as a person, this sword can only be regarded as a midstream in the rivers and lakes. ”

"So we don't have to fight." Mu Yi said lightly, "I'm not a swordsman, and the sword is also given to you." ”

Although Mu Yi said it quite easily, the clothes on his back were already soaked with sweat, because when he threw the sword, he tried to detect the information of the crow in front of him, but the detection failed, and only got an uncertain result.

The attributes of the Raven (suspected B-rank boss) are unknown.

The crow said, "I don't need to kill you now, you are too weak, and you don't have a good sword, but if this sword is raised for a few years, it may have a chance to be among the top grades." With that, he threw the sword to Mu Yi again.

Mu Yi quickly reached out and grabbed the scabbard, and then tied it behind his back.

"Then we'll go in and have a drink, and I'll pay for it." Mu Yi said with a smile, reaching out and making a gesture of please, "I've heard of the crow's habits. ”

"Hehe, it's a pity that this is a deserted village and a wild store, and there are no women." The crow was not polite and walked straight into the inn.

You can't choose the best restaurant here, but you can order the best food and buy the best wine, and Mu Yi knows that Crow has always been a big person.

After a while, the shopkeeper served wine and side dishes, and the two sat down to drink.

Mu Yi took a sip of wine and said, "Although this is not a good wine, it can be drunk with the masters of the rivers and lakes, which also has a unique flavor." ”

Raven is not a person who likes to communicate, so he did not talk, but just drank and ate meat silently.

But it is always very pleasant to be able to eat and drink freely, and when a person is very happy, he always drinks more than usual.

When the wine passed three rounds, people's words gradually increased.

"As a top killer, there shouldn't be many people in the rivers and lakes who can invite you." Mu Yi smiled and drank a glass of wine.

"Not much, really." Raven Road.

"So you came of your own free will?" Mu Yi asked.

"Yes." Although the crow's words are few, they can all answer the point.

"Why?" Mu Yi was a little curious.

"There are not many interesting newcomers on the rivers and lakes, especially those who have provoked the famous and decent people who have not been killed." Raven said, "And this time you showed me something very interesting. ”

"How long have you been with me?" Mu Yi had a bad guess.

"Fifteen days." The crow said, "Practice your sword well, and in five years you should have a chance to enter the house, and then I will come to you again to get the sword." ”

After saying this, the crow never spoke again, and silently ate and drank before leaving.

Mu Yi watched this strong man disappear into the night, and sighed softly. Now he is still too weak to even have the desire to let people do it, but this is okay, he can honestly do his own thing.

Because Mu Yi didn't even have the courage to do it in front of the crow, which made him a little frustrated, that sense of powerlessness was undoubtedly a huge blow to Mu Yi, who had always been smooth.

At this time, Mu Yi even had an idea, that is, after completing the main quest two, he would concentrate on the transfer task, and as for the main quest three, he planned to give up directly, because it was too dangerous.

But was it really as he expected? Mu Yi didn't know.
