In the dilapidated courtyard, weeds are everywhere, and under a dirty rattan trellis, a man with withered hair as if he is dying old at this time raised his head gently, and his originally handsome and chic face was full of wind and frost at the moment, feeling as if he had aged for decades, and seemed to have reached the twilight of his life!

"Brother Shen, how are you?"

Seeing Shen Tianbao so down-and-out, the Ma brothers who came to see him felt a sour feeling in their hearts, they were friends with Shen Tianbao under the command of Su Ji, and they had also gone out on several missions together, and their friendship was extraordinary!

Seeing the Ma brothers walk in, a glimmer of light flashed in Shen Tianbao's somewhat cloudy eyes, and then he raised his head tremblingly, and tears involuntarily slipped down from the corners of his eyes.

After returning from Bodhi Temple, the people in the palace thought that he had been abolished by the lord of the county, so after throwing him in this courtyard, they ignored him, and no one came to see him, only the medical officer of the palace came to change his medicine on time.

With some savings from the past, he took out the silver and gave it to the medical officer in exchange for some food for the kitchen every day.

It's a pity that he is a waste now, and he doesn't have much status at all, even if he spends money to buy it, the daily kitchen is just some leftovers, and his life is extremely hard.

At this moment, there is an old brother coming to the door, and for Shen Tianbao, there is no doubt that he has the feeling of seeing the light of day.

And Ma Wenyuan, the younger brother of the Ma brothers, had already seen the rice bowl next to Shen Tianbao at this time, which was clear and watery, without a little oiliness, and then looked at the withered face of Shen Tianbao now, the Ma brothers' hearts were even more sad.

"Brother Shen, what kind of mistake did you make to let the big county lord treat you like this!" Ma Wenliang, the boss of the Ma brothers, couldn't help but ask at this moment!

They came to see Shen Tianbao, so they naturally knew about Shen Tianbao's rumors!

Hearing Ma Wenliang's words, Shen Tianbao hurriedly shook his head, and his mouth whined eagerly.

"Brother Shen, don't worry, take your time, our brother came back this time, just to inquire about this matter, and when the son returns home in the future, it's easy to talk about it!" If it's really Brother Shen, you're wrong, then let's quickly plead with Gongzi! By the way, you can write it down! Second, go get a pen and paper! ”

Ma Wenyuan quickly took out a pen and paper from the room, and then placed it in front of Shen Tianbao.

Shen Tianbao trembled at this time and picked up the brush, although his limbs had been treated by the medical officer, he still didn't have much strength.

Under the gaze of the Ma brothers, Shen Tianbao wrote five words on the paper with difficulty!

"It's not her, Zhang Mu!"

"It's not her!"

"Zhang Mu!"

After the Ma brothers saw Shen Tianbao's words, then the boss Ma Wenliang's face changed, and he turned his head to stare at Shen Tianbao and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Shen, you mean, it wasn't the big county lord who made you like this?" ”

Shen Tianbao nodded hurriedly.

"Is this person named Zhang Mu?" Ma Wenyuan also reacted and asked.

Shen Tianbao continued to nod.

"Who is this Zhang Mu?" Ma Wenliang frowned, and asked suspiciously, the two brothers had just returned to the palace, and they still didn't know some things in the palace.

At this time, Shen Tianbao wrote a "small" word on the paper with a trembling hand.

"Little Lord?"

Ma Wenliang asked again in surprise, and Shen Tianbao nodded again.

"You said that this matter has something to do with the little county lord?"

Shen Tianbao nodded, and shook his head again, he wanted to write something, but because he couldn't use his hand hard, it was difficult to write, in a hurry, the brush pressed heavily on the table, and the whole person fell forward.

"Brother Shen, don't worry, in this way, I'll ask, you answer first, if you can't answer, let's use words again!"

"Is this an order from the little county lord?"

Shen Tianbao shook his head.

"Is it an order from the Grand Lord?"

There is a naturally formed lake in the middle of the palace, and there are many small islands in the center of the lake, each of which has a house, which is where important people in the palace live.

And between these small islands, they are all connected by a floating corridor, and the key nodes of the corridor have floating magic circle seals, which are strong and abnormal.

Cuizhuju is the small island where the small county lord Shui Mo lives, and it is adjacent to the Xuelan residence of the big county lord Shui Yao!

The island is full of purple-leaved spirit bamboos, and the purple-leaved spirit bamboos have the effect of gathering spirits, and the planting direction of these spirit bamboos is distributed in the direction of the spirit gathering array, for the body of the little county lord.

Therefore, the Cuizhu Residence of the small county lord is the area with the strongest aura in the entire palace, and there is no one, it is a holy place for many people in the palace to dream of cultivation.

However, at this time, the little county lord was not on the island, because Zhang Mu had cleared most of the residual poison in the small county lord, and the little county lord's health had greatly improved, and he was no longer the sick look.

There are few people around the little county lord, and now the little county lord follows Shui Yao every day, and on the entire Cuizhu Island, there are only Zhang Mu and two cooks.

Back in his courtyard, Zhang Mu took out the "Great Void Sword Sutra" and studied it carefully.

Although it is said that the "Great Void Sword Sutra" is more like a theory, but the founder is not without research results, although the real Void Sword Qi, he has not studied it, but he has already studied two sets of Five Elements Dual-attribute Sword Qi, that is, Xuanyin Sword Qi and Yanyang Sword Qi.

Xuanyin sword qi is a sword qi that is a mixture of wood and water, the sword qi attribute is yin poison, and the middle one will produce water poison, the whole body is swollen, and the internal organs are constantly eroded.

The Yanyang Sword Qi is a sword qi that is a mixture of the two spiritual energies of gold and fire, and the sword qi attribute is domineering and strong, with both the damage of fire spiritual power and the sharp penetrating power of golden spiritual power.

According to the Great Void Sword Sutra, the Yanyang Sword Qi is practiced to the extreme, and the Xuanyin Sword Qi is practiced to the extreme, and nothing is incorruptible, and the power of both is strong and abnormal.

"Xi Shi, you said that these two kinds of sword qi, if they are so powerful, why is this book still left there and no one practices it?" After Zhang Mu finished reading it, he asked puzzled.

"Master, according to my calculations, these two sets of sword qi heart techniques are certainly powerful, but their sequelae are not small, and they have high requirements for the physical strength of cultivators, otherwise they will hurt others and themselves, and in the end, they may practice themselves to death before they are practiced, which is probably the reason why they are abandoned by others!"

"Oh? In that case, shouldn't I be able to cultivate as well? Zhang Mu couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Of course not, in fact, these hard injuries are not a threat to the master!"

"Why? Could it be because I can do all five elements of aura? Zhang Mu asked puzzled.
