The sword slave's behavior and words are a little weird, which makes the pastoral path confused. However, Mu Jinglu didn't think about it so much for the time being, because the short confrontation with the sword slave made Mu Jinglu have a deeper understanding of the sword intent, especially the earth-destroying momentum coming from a blunt sword, which made Mu Jinglu remember it vividly.

After returning to his own courtyard, Mu Jinglu closed his door and began to cultivate. Cultivation really didn't take time, and just a realization made the pastoral path closed for nearly a month.

"I'm moving Kyushu!" the burst of shouts from the pasture road resounded from the backyard of the pasture road courtyard. In an instant, the entire courtyard was suddenly filled with the sound and shadow of the pastoral path. Each figure kept dancing the broken sword in his hand, and the posture was different.

The countless figures did not last long after they appeared, and in about three or five breaths, they disappeared into the courtyard of the pastoral path. After a few moments, the door of the backyard of Pastoral Road opened, and Pastoral Road walked out of the door in high spirits.

Ever since Mujing Lu entered the backyard to cultivate, Gu Xiu would appear at the backyard gate of Mujing Road every day, from morning to night. When the pastoral path road exited, the first thing I saw was naturally Gu Xiu.

"Mother. "Way. ”

After the two of them were affectionately called, they didn't say anything more. Mu Jinglu chuckled happily, stepped forward to take Gu Xiu's arm, and left the backyard with Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu patted the shoulder of Mu Jinglu, who was already an adult, and looked at his son, who was one or two feet taller than him, and he also just smiled happily and didn't say much.

Two days later, Mu Jinglu received a summons from Jian Yu and came to the side hall of the Sword Pavilion Hall Open Heaven Palace.

The Heaven Cutting Hall of the Sword Pavilion is indeed too big, and now there are few disciples of the Sword Pavilion, and the Sword Confusion deals with many matters, usually in the side hall, although the Sword Pavilion does not seem to have too many things to deal with at this time.

Jian Ren, Jian Yu, Zhang Muchen, Xiang Miao, and Huang Chenglin were all sitting cross-legged on the high platform in the side hall at this time. Below the side hall, Li Ningyang, Xie Bi'an brothers and Lu Zhu also sat solemnly.

Mu Jinglu looked at the side hall, only the first one below was empty, and Mu Jinglu didn't think much about it and walked forward and sat down.

"Is there anything to be gained from the retreat?"

Looking at the kind sword puzzle, Mu Jinglu respectfully arched his hand and chuckled: "Thank you Pavilion Master for your concern, naturally there is a harvest." ”

"It's good to have a reward. Jian Yu smiled faintly, "I called you here today to discuss important matters." ”

Jian Yu began to talk about business, making the faces of the few people below straight. The extremely elders in the hall also tidied up their appearance slightly, looking extremely dignified. Subconsciously, Mu Jinglu also put away the casual in his heart, ready to listen.

"A month ago, Yingwu came to seek revenge, and was temporarily sent away by the chief to solve a crisis that could barely be regarded as a crisis. However, we have also received news that this nightmare invasion may not be the same as in the past. ”

"The Demon not only poisoned the geniuses of my Xuanwei clans, but also frequently appeared in places where strange treasures appeared everywhere to participate in the competition for magic weapons. ”

"As we all know, the Demon Demon can't use my Mystic Soul Artifact. The Nightmare Demon now has an idea about magic weapons, and it is certainly not as simple as it seems. ”

"My Sword Pavilion, since its establishment in ancient times, has been inherited for 10,000 years. Several demon invasions, my sword pavilion has taken it as its own responsibility to protect the living beings in the world, and has fought bravely. Although the existence of the Sword Pavilion made many sects feel threatened, and they worked together to suppress and even kill the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, but even so, as long as it was to kill the Demon Nightmare, the Sword Pavilion was duty-bound. ”

"The strange behavior of the Demon Nightmare, my Sword Pavilion naturally wants to investigate it clearly and give the world some warnings. Jian Yu said, turned his head to look at the pastoral path, and said, "Disciple the pastoral path road listens to the order." ”

"The disciple is here. ”

"The head of this pavilion has ordered you to temporarily act as the deacon elder of the outer gate and set off on a certain day to find out why the demon wanted to snatch the magic weapon. ”

The disciple took the order. Mu Jinglu got up solemnly and returned with a straight face.

"Dharma protector Xie Bi'an, Fan is helpless. ”

"The disciple is here. ”

"Accompany the chief to figure out the tricks of the demons. ”

"Yes!"

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu got up to take the order, their expressions solemn.

When Mu Jing Lu took Xie Bi'an and Fan Wu Su back to the Sword Pavilion, Jian Yu understood the purpose of Mu Jing Lu. Jian Chao handed over most of the sword orders of the Sword Pavilion to Mujinglu, and naturally believed that the people found by Mujinglu were trustworthy people.

Under the hint of Mu Jinglu, Jian Yu took Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu to see Gu Xiu. With Gu Xiu's help, Jian Yu easily took Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu down.

However, because Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusheng's cultivation had already taken shape, no matter which elder they visited, it might not have much effect, so they arranged Xie Bi'an and his brothers to Mu Jinglu. Mujing Lu didn't say a word, and was appointed as the protector of the Sword Pavilion.

You must know that among the major sects, although the sect protectors are not as good as the elders, they are also extremely powerful. It's just that the number of disciples in the Sword Pavilion is indeed too chilling, and the position of Dharma protector is no different from a fictitious position, and it is not of much use.

Although the pastoral path road received the order happily, he complained tightly in his heart. The identities of a sect leader and a sect elder are casually placed among the top ten sects, and that one has the right to be comparable to a pavilion master and a sect master. But in the Sword Pavilion, in addition to shouldering the heavy responsibility of the revival of the Sword Pavilion, it seems that there is not much power.

"This Demon Invasion is probably even more terrifying than it was three thousand years ago. My Sword Pavilion doesn't say that it is alone, even if it is just self-preservation, it is even more difficult. Jian Yu said in a deep voice, "Therefore, the master of this pavilion has decided to open the sword pavilion and recruit disciples!"

Mu Jinglu was stunned when he heard this, looked at Jian Yu in surprise, thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "The pavilion master has really decided?"

"It's decided!" Jian Chao's face was serious, "The weirdness of the demon is a crisis for Kyushu and even the Xuanwei Continent, but for my Sword Pavilion, it may be a rare opportunity in ten thousand years." ”

"The various factions on the plane now have different thoughts, and many sects are ambitious, and they must have their own plans when they are stirred up by the demon like this. Twenty-five years ago, or even thousands of years ago, the sectarian alliance must not have been as strong as it once was. ”

Mu Jinglu nodded with satisfaction, stood up straight, and bowed respectfully to the sword puzzle: "Since the pavilion master has decided, the disciple will definitely do his best to strengthen my sword pavilion." ”

"Strengthen my Sword Pavilion!" Several elders and Lu Zhu and the others got up at the same time, their voices echoing.

Jian Yu nodded with satisfaction and excitement, turned to the extremely elder and said, "I still bother you junior brothers and sisters, go down the mountain to find disciples." ”

"Senior Brother Pavilion Master is polite, this is within our boundaries. Jian Ren and the others respectfully bowed their hands and replied in unison.

"As for the protector of Lu Zhu, after going down the mountain, quickly return to the military camp on the Western Front. Within five years, he must hold an important position in Liangzhou. ”

"The pavilion master can rest assured, the disciple is no longer trusted. Lu Zhu, who has a straight face, has no honest attitude in the past, and his face is solemn at this time, which makes people feel that Lu is like a general in the same army.

After everyone left, Jian Yu left the pasture path alone.

"Master and nephew, it's not easy to be the master of a pavilion. ”

Looking at the sword confusion with a sigh and a look of hardship, Mu Jinglu looked confused.

"The mountain protection array must be operated, and the disciples must make a fortune. My Sword Pavilion doesn't have any business to make a living outside now, so how can I get so much money. Jian Yu kept sighing and shaking his head, his eyes constantly glancing at the Sumeru ring on the finger of the pastoral path.

After figuring out what the sword was going to do, the pavement of the pasture turned black.

It must be Elder Huang's 'leak', and this 'slut' is targeting me. Mu Jinglu complained secretly, the corners of his mouth twitched and he asked with a dark face: "Uncle Shi, it's nonsense." How much you want, just ask. ”

"How's that going to work? You are not the master of the pavilion, how can the master ask for your money. Jian Yu suddenly said with a straight face, "No matter how poor you are, you can't covet your disciple's personal belongings." ”

"Do you want it?"

"How can you say yes?"

"Don't let me go. ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Mu Jinglu had turned around decisively, Jian Yu suddenly shouted: "Am I going to be able to do it?"

Mu Jinglu turned around, looked at the sword confusion that suddenly became extremely obscene, and the heart to do it was gone.

"How much?"

"Hey, hey... This..."Jian Yu smirked a little embarrassedly, rubbing his hands together, and it was a little difficult to speak. Mu Jinglu shook his head speechlessly, and simply returned to sit down and said, "Do you want to calculate?"

"Calculate?" Jian Chao was confused by the pastoral road's question. Damn, how do you calculate it? The finances in the pavilion are all in the hands of Elder Xiang Miao, where to use how much, whether the Sword Pavilion still has income, I don't know!

Mu Jinglu glanced at Jian Yu with disdain, turned over his hand and took out a Qiankun bag and said, "Here are the expenses of the Sword Pavilion for two years now. Counting the subsidies from the Pavilion Master, the Elders, and several Dharma Protectors, oh yes, there is also the consumption of the Mountain Protection Array. ”

"Uh, how does my nephew know?"

"Auntie asked, oh no, to Elder. The slip of the tongue didn't make Mu Jinglu feel inappropriate, and he still continued: "I have discussed with Elder Xiang, there are not many disciples in the pavilion for the time being, so I will pay an allowance according to the cultivation behavior, and each person will have a spirit stone lower than the cultivation level every month. In the absence of a big war, the Mountain Protection Array would consume almost one blue-rank spirit stone every month, and it would only be twenty-four in two years. ”

"There is also the money that needs to be spent on the repair of the Sword Pavilion, and I have also converted it into spirit stones and put it inside. Mu Jinglu handed the Qiankun bag to Jian Yu, and said casually: "If it's not enough, you can go to Elder Huang Chenglin, last time he extorted a lot of money from me, and there should be a lot left." ”

Mu Jinglu said, and then looked at Jian Ren who was in a daze with an indifferent face.

In this way, isn't there dozens of blue-level spirit stones in the Qiankun bag? This kid also said that Huang Chenglin still has grandma's, and Huang Chenglin's old boy actually hid it privately. No, I'm going to blackmail it later.

This kid is so easy to take these out, there must be a lot of them in the ring. Do you want to blackmail again?, Jian Qi hesitated for a moment, and then sighed secretly. Forget it, it's better to dig slowly, so as not to force this kid to cut off my supply.

"Ahem... Master and nephew, your dedication to the Sword Pavilion will be remembered by the disciples of the Sword Pavilion in the future. Jian Yu stepped forward and patted Mu Jinglu's shoulder heavily, and said in a serious tone: "In your generation, for the time being, there is only one disciple of you, and the position of the master of the Sword Pavilion may also be handed over to you in the future, so don't feel that you are a loser." ”

"Don't, uncle!" Mu Jinglu thanked you for refusing, "Just do something for the Sword Pavilion while I'm young." In the future, the future of the Sword Pavilion should not be completely pressed on the disciple, the disciple's small shoulders will not be able to resist. ”

Jian Qi was just a temptation, but he didn't expect Mu Jinglu to refuse without even thinking about it, which made Jian Qi embarrassed for a while. Jian Yu coughed lightly twice and said, "I'll talk about this later, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, Jian Yu leaked a lewd smile again, approached the pastoral path and said, "Senior nephew, this time you go down the mountain, you have to put bright spots in your eyes, and find a few disciples like Li Ningyang who are extremely talented and have a tough Dao heart to come back." In that case, the revival of my Sword Pavilion is just around the corner. ”

Mu Jinglu looked at Jian Qi with a dark face, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Uncle Shi, do you think that looking for disciples is the same as human traffickers?"

"Hehe, doesn't Uncle Shi believe you kid?" Jian Yu smiled and continued: "With your good fortune, don't talk about finding a few, Uncle Shi believes that you can pull back a team." ”

"Uncle Shi, the sages once said that doing things in a down-to-earth manner and being a talent in a down-to-earth manner is the king. ”

"Huh?" Jian looked at the pastoral path in confusion and asked suspiciously, "Which sage said that?"

"Ahem, ahem," Mu Jinglu coughed lightly twice and quickly diverted the topic, "It's not important." By the way, Uncle Shi, what is the specific task of going down the mountain this time?"

"It's to probe the monster!"

"Huh, no destination?"

"Nope. ”

"Where's the clue?"

"Find it yourself. ”

Mu Jinglu suppressed the thought of wanting to draw the sword confusion to death in his heart, and asked with a calm face: "After a long time, you drew a cake for everyone?"

"How can you call it a cake? You kid can't speak. Jian Yu said with a straight face: "Strengthening the Sword Pavilion is not just the end of finding some disciples. If you don't have a goal, you can better let your disciples get trials, right?"

"Yes, you have a point. Mu Jinglu spread his hands helplessly, "Can you tell me a direction?"

"Direction?" Jian Yu raised his head to himself, propped his chin, thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there are the most demons around the magic mountain in Jingzhou, maybe there is something different. ”

"Is there a magic mountain in Jingzhou?" Mu Jinglu was stunned when he heard this, "The southern magic mountain Luofu Mountain is in the territory of Jingzhou State, shouldn't it be in the southernmost Yangzhou country?"

"Who said that Yangzhou is in the southernmost part of the country? The most difficult part of Kyushu is in Jingzhou country. ”

"Huh?!" Pastoral Road was stunned.

Except for Yuzhou, which is in the middle, aren't the other eight states just above the eight directions of Kyushu? Jingzhou is against the southwest, and Yangzhou is against the south.

"Jingzhou is nominally in the southwest, but its eastern boundary is the southern part of Kyushu's geography. ”

Under the advice of Jian Yu, Mu Jinglu left the side hall a little speechlessly. Habitual thinking is harmful. It's just that at the moment of leaving the gate of the side hall, the words of the sword confusion made the pasture path stumble again.

"This kid goes to the south, maybe he can get two blue-rank demon beasts in the 100,000 mountains and bring them back to the Sword Pavilion to guard the door. ”
