Chapter 43: The Guest (Make Up for Yesterday)
In the following days, Mu Yan's life seemed to return to before he went to Lion Camel Mountain.
In the morning, I learned the herbal knowledge and medical concepts of this world, and in the afternoon, I learned martial arts with twenty disciples, and the only difference was that I changed the time for dissecting monsters at night to do various rehabilitation treatments for weasel spirits.
There is still no idle moment, the busy life seems to have changed from before, and the crowded schedule can drive almost anyone crazy!
Of course, Mu Yan is not crazy, he relies on his strong soul to provide him with abundant energy, and he can do whatever he wants within the limits of his body!
- I won't give up if I don't toss myself every day to exhaustion!
In the eyes of ordinary people outside, this famous Miaoshou Holy Doctor seems to have been living in seclusion since the demon tide, locking himself in a small building in Baicaopu, unless someone wants to trade monster materials with him, otherwise he will not meet customers at all, which can be described as extremely low-key.
However, the disciples of the Demon Sect could hear all kinds of rumors from the twenty disciples of the Demon Sect, so they knew that after the catechumen had barely fulfilled his responsibilities as a demon elder, he returned to his previous life, and he was obsessed with studying all day long and did not ask about foreign affairs!
Obviously, these news were released by Mu Yan himself, in order to reassure some people who may exist in this Zhuangzi, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if he was a vital member of Luojiazhuang, in such an undercurrent situation, who would jump out and use what kind of means against him!
For Mu Yan's such a "secluded" state, not many people feel strange, but everyone takes it for granted, after all, Mu Yan is a "Taoist", and the entire Luojiazhuang's cognition of Taoist priests is based on the concept of purity, as a Taoist temple that basically does not open the main door several times throughout the year, except for the Taoist temple where people are basically invisible during the festival and the demon tide, they have interpreted it very clearly that they are far away from the world and do not mess with the mundane spirit, and everyone has long regarded this unusual performance as the characteristics of Taoist priests.
In their opinion, Mu Yan is obviously a real Taoist priest in this way!
However, these things, who are obsessed with studying all day long, and Mu Yan, who "doesn't ask about foreign affairs", of course "don't know".
He is busy in his small building every day, never stepping out of the small building, almost completely separated from the life of Luojiazhuang, and over time it is about to become another pure view of Luojiazhuang.
On the contrary, outside this thin stone wall, the noise about the arrest of Rahman and others is getting louder and louder, and the accusation that they are monsters and spies seems to be unconsciously confirmed, under the control of a pair of invisible big hands, the people's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, as if they want to make up for the fright they received from the monsters before!
According to the report of the disciples who came to Dumen every day, now even the beggars on the street don't set up bowls, each carrying a stick in his hand, wandering around all kinds of alleys all day long, looking at people like wolf demons who haven't eaten for months!
But these have nothing to do with Mu Yan, he didn't have the slightest worry to stay in the small building and busy with his own business, let the wind and waves blow outside, when he came to him, it was still quiet and quiet, and the waves were not alarmed.
But he also knew that such days were coming to an end, and if this trend continued, Mo Wushu and even Yunlou would inevitably be searched out by the angry crowd! If they want to continue their operations in Locke's House, they must come to him!
After all, he is the only person in this Locke Village who can be trusted and has the ability to help them now!
Of course, the premise is that they have a way to convince Mu Yan!
…...
The days passed, and on the fifth day of Mu Yan's return from Lion Camel Mountain, that is, the thirty-second day when he came to Luojiazhuang, the door of this small building was finally knocked.
Squeak squeak –
The wooden door slowly opened, and five guards wearing black suits, carrying a long knife on their left and a waist card on their right, appeared at the door.
The leader was a middle-aged man with wheat-colored skin, a horse face, and a short beard on his chin.
I saw that he was in a black robe with a red belt, wearing a pair of brown arm guards on his hands, and a wooden plaque faintly peeking out from under the robe, obviously a squad leader-level figure.
Mu Yan has been here for so many days, and the people in Yunlou didn't wait, but waited for the people from the Zhuang Lord's Mansion!
The wooden door creaked open, and Mo Xinyu's hand was put back on the handle of the knife at his waist, and a skilled smile appeared on his face.
"Catechumen......" As soon as he spoke, he was stunned in mid-air with a fist-hugging movement, and the surprise in his expression was greater than the embarrassment.
Then his hand slowly put down, his eyes swept up and down, left and right, and with a sound, he touched his beard, and the smile on his face became a little surprised.
Noticing the captain's strangeness, four heads protruded from behind him, and then saw the empty vestibule!
The expression on his face suddenly became a little exciting.
The breeze blows, the fallen leaves swirl in the wind, and the vestibule with some potted plants looks a little cold.
"Come in." Mu Yan's calm voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the five people.
The wooden door facing the small building also slowly opened with a creaking sound.
Mo Xinyu once again glanced around the small building, including the second floor, and after confirming that there was no one, he scratched his hair, arched his hand casually, and walked in.
As for the four young people behind him who were obviously much younger than him, probably in their early twenties, Mo Xinyu didn't say a word to them from beginning to end, as if he was the only one on this trip.
The four young people gathered together, and they didn't seem to care about Mo Xinyu's attitude towards them at all, and they followed in while talking about the scene just now.
The door behind him slowly closed, and the five of them walked through the vestibule into the small building, and finally saw Mu Yan sitting cross-legged on the straw mat at the window on the right.
At this time, Mu Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and a few people came in and didn't pay attention, focusing on the blank paper on the table.
But Mo Xinyu didn't mean to speak first, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, no, to be precise, the four young people were very embarrassed.
The other two, Mu Yan on one side completely ignored them, while Mo Xinyu on the other side looked at the surrounding environment with interest after discovering that the catechumen did not want to bird them.
In fact, the surrounding environment is not very good, and Mu Yan did not make any drastic changes to the house itself after moving in, so the building still maintains the structure that was originally built.
And for such a structure, Mo Xinyu can even accurately say the location of each of its rooms! After all, the place where he lives now is a small building with the same structure as this one.
But Mo Xinyu is still watching with relish, not observing anything, just simply appreciating, looking at his appearance, it seems that as long as Mu Yan has been ignoring him, he can continue to look at it like this, even if he has been looking at these structures for six years.
Mu Yan is not in a hurry, Mo Xinyu said that he is not in a hurry, it is still morning, and he still has a lot of time.
However, just because they are not in a hurry does not mean that others are not in a hurry.
The four young people who were left aside by the two of them are now very embarrassed, they don't stand or sit after they come in, if you want to let them do their own things like Mu Yan or Mo Xinyu, they don't have the determination, and the young faces seem to be full of entanglement and anxiety.
In fact, long before entering this small building, they had already discussed what kind of means to use to deal with Mu Yan, a famous magic hand holy doctor, and even every word that Mu Yan might say, they had done a good job.
For example, if Mu Yan asks, "What are you doing here?" The young man standing at the front would stand up and take out the inspection order of the Zhuang's Mansion on his waist, show it to everyone, and then say without humility or arrogance: "Chief of the Ran, according to the investigation of the Zhuang's Mansion, it is suspected that you are related to the bandits who have been being tracked down in the past few days, and I will come here today to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”
If Mu Yan continued: "Impossible, there is no such thing. The young man with pigtails at the back would immediately slap the floor and stand up and shouted: "The second child of the Fulai Inn has been recruited!" You don't have to quibble here! "Blah blah.
The four of them have at least made more than ten sets of plans for such a dialogue, and even each person's role is clearly distinguished, of course, there is no Mo Xinyu's role in it, and this team leader with a bad reputation is obviously not qualified to be in the limelight with them.
However...... The four of them made a lot of calculations, but they didn't count that Mu Yan didn't prepare them at all! It seems that the unwelcoming attitude has been obvious since they entered the door, and now they are directly hanging here, which makes the four people who want to show their skills in the mission suddenly feel like they have nowhere to do anything.
After a while, the four people who were originally standing honestly had quietly gathered together, glancing in the direction of Mu Yan from time to time, and from time to time in the direction of Mo Xinyu.
The four of them whispered, as if discussing something, and then the conversation grew louder.
"A bunch of idiots!" The sneer on the corner of Mo Xinyu's mouth flashed, and he still admired the furnishings in the house.
Although these four people were members of his team, before today, the four of them were actually small guards who didn't know each other.
It wasn't until this morning that the Zhuang's Mansion gave him a task of "investigating the relationship between Mu Yan and Rahman and others", and these four people joined his team as temporary guards.
"Temporary Guard!"
Bah!
Mo Xinyu couldn't help but want to say sarcastic words when he thought about it, but considering that there was still a catechumens here, he was still not too presumptuous.
He has been in the escort team for more than ten years, has killed monsters and people, and has secretly participated in many conspiracies, of course, he has also been conspired by many conspiracies.
To be able to live until now, both strength and wisdom are there.
Something like today, the first moment he saw the mission, he understood what was going on.
