It is rumored that a long, long time ago, Shuxian was just a primitive and dangerous forest, with no human population in sight, only the figure of various birds and beasts, until a mysterious and powerful clan moved into it, which is now the Mu family.

Until now, more than 99% of the land in Shuxian County is still covered by endless greenery. Among the counties in Mengguo, Shuxian has the smallest population, only about one million, one-third of which lives in the county seat and its vicinity, and the rest are mostly scattered throughout the territory in villages.

In winter, the sun sets and the twilight is already deep.

As soon as he passed through the middle of two giant trees dozens of feet high, Bian Yao suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and it turned out that he had walked into a forest.

It was winter, but the trees here were unusual, and the foliage was as lush as midsummer, almost completely obscuring the twilight of the sky, forcing him to enter the realm of night early.

He stood still for a few breaths, and his eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness in the forest.

After a few moments of weaving through the trees, he jumped up a giant tree, and then sat down among a thick "V" shaped branch, ready to spend the night.

In the dark, Bian Yao ate a few spirit fruits, and then quietly leaned on the trunk of the tree and thought nonsense, and many pictures couldn't stop appearing in his mind.

I've been through a lot along the way, and the companion named Twilight Song has left, leaving me alone. Although he has entered the territory of Shu County, he has not yet reached the end of this trip, and he will go to find the Mu family that the old ghost said.

In the night sky, the cold stars continued to flicker with cold light, through the cracks in the branches and leaves of the treetops, sprinkling a few faint white spots, reflecting on his clothes and knees.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the forest, brushing his shoulders and brushing his slightly bitter face.

Bian Yao tightened the clothes on his body, and suddenly felt a little lonely, and a little uncomfortable, so he naturally couldn't fall asleep immediately.

The night was long, and it was lonely and sleepless.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

At dawn, before the silent sky was bright, the crisp sound of birdsong had already penetrated into the ears.

Bian Yao opened his eyes suddenly, his dark eyes, through the gaps between the heavy branches and leaves, he saw a little white sky, and then he raised himself and sat up.

In the early morning, there was a faint wet mist in the forest, like smoke.

Although the light is still very faint at this time, it does not prevent you from seeing the road and distinguishing objects, and the situation in the forest can be seen more or less clearly.

Bian Yao turned his head and quickly glanced up and down a few times, then jumped off the trunk of the tree lightly, and after identifying the direction, he strode towards the depths of the woods.

Although the population of Shuxian County is not large, it is very large, even larger than Xuecheng County.

In the book map that the old ghost gave him, the specific location of the Mu family was not marked, in this kind of forest full of trees, if you want to find out where the Mu family is, the first place to go must be the county seat.

After thinking about the current situation, Bian Yao decided to find a place where people lived first, and then ask them about it. In any case, it is better to have the guidance of the local aborigines than to wander around on your own.

Bian Yao is Shuxian from the northwest, while the county seat is located in the eastern region, and it will take at least half a month to get there.

As the sky brightens, so does the line of sight.

Bian Yao walked quickly through the forest, and soon he was surprised to find that the towering giant trees he had seen in other places could be seen everywhere in the ancient forest of Shuxian County, and the deeper he went, the taller the trees became.

As time passed, the sun slowly moved in the sky, and before you knew it, half a day had passed.

During this period, except for the various birds and beasts that occasionally appeared, there was not even a single figure to be seen.

Bian Yao was eager to meet the residents of Shuxian County as soon as possible, so he kept going deeper into the southeast direction, and the lonely figure hurriedly wandered among the trees.

The forest is no more extensive than the wilderness, and the speed of the road will be greatly limited, and if the speed is slow, it will naturally not feel tired.

The young man was in a hurry, and the monotonous trees kept jumping into view, so boring.

And just like that, two more hours passed.

As the sun set in the west, the light in the forest began to fade.

Bian Yao couldn't help but feel a negative emotion in his heart, and he faintly felt a little anxious and irritable.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of noisy birdsong, which seemed to be not far away.

Suddenly stopped, listened carefully for a moment, and suddenly accelerated and rushed in one direction.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp

Not far ahead, among the high hanging branches and leaves, dense nests appeared, and countless forest birds were jumping between the branches, making happy chirpings from time to time.

Bian Yao seemed to be infected by these lively little creatures, slowed down his pace, raised his head and walked forward, the anxious mood in his heart dissipated in an instant, and a faint smile bloomed on his face.

Ahead was getting brighter and brighter, and something else came into view, and through the gaps between the trees, houses and moving figures could be faintly seen.

Bian Yao's gaze froze for a moment, and then revealed a little surprise, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

A few forest birds noticed the approach of the stranger, and suddenly let out several sharp and rapid warning sounds. Then, a thousand birds chirped in unison!

A hint of strange color flashed on Bian Yao's face, but he didn't pay attention to it, he continued to move forward quickly.

Taking a step forward, the giant tree that covered the sky suddenly disappeared, and the top of his head was bright.

Apparently, I came to a small village.

The houses here are all made of wood, the appearance is very original and chic, I don't know what special method is used, and the roof is covered with a thick layer of green leaves, which is very novel and beautiful.

As soon as Bian Yao appeared at the entrance of the village, not far away, a sturdy middle-aged man stared at him, and then walked over.

Looking at him calmly, a trace of imperceptible suspicion flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then frowned slightly.

"Follow me. The middle-aged man said simply, turned around and walked towards the village.

Although Bian Yao was surprised by this unknown situation, he still silently followed behind the middle-aged man, while curiously looking at what he saw in front of him.

Although it is winter, the temperature here is far from as low as expected, and it can even be said to be warm, and the atmosphere of spring is full of all around.

At this time, twilight was approaching, and in front of the scattered wooden houses, the old man was sitting on a small wooden bench and laughing, the women were cleaning up the nameless wild fruits dried in front of the door, and the children were chasing and playing around the trees in the well or on the village road.

According to Bian Yao's observations, this is an ordinary small village, and the inhabitants inside are all mortals who have no cultivation ability. However, he saw several adult men, all of whom seemed to have practiced martial arts, probably ordinary martial artists.

The middle-aged man took Bian Yao to turn left and right, and in a short time, the two came to a building in the center of the village, and then walked in one after the other.

The interior of the house is very bright, and the furnishings inside are very simple and simple.

On the west side there was a luminous stone on the old counter, on the south side there was a square wooden table and two wooden chairs against the wall, and on the north side lay an older man on the wooden bed.

On the wooden bench at the head of the bed, a middle-aged man sat quietly, his eyes closed, holding the old man's wrist with one hand, not like he was checking his pulse.

The middle-aged man who brought Bian Yao into the room stood there without making a sound, and Bian Yao, an outsider, naturally did not speak first, but kept rolling his eyes to observe the room.

He suddenly noticed one thing, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the bed, his hair seemed to be a little green, which looked a little special.

After about half a moment, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and let go of the old man's wrist.

"Don't get in the way, go back and lie down and recuperate for two days, and be careful not to get cold. ”

The old man straightened up with a smile, thanked him respectfully, and then got out of bed and walked out of the house.

"The village owner, there are outsiders. The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said softly.

The middle-aged man turned around, with a gentle smile on his face, his gaze stayed on Bian Yao for a short time, and said with a little question: "Young man, are you a dream cultivator?"

Bian Yao nodded and smiled, "Hmm" as an answer, and at the same time guessed that the other party was also a dream cultivator, and the cultivation realm should still be above him.

After confirming Bian Yao's identity as a dream cultivator, the middle-aged man and the man on the side did not show any different color on their faces, and they were not surprised!

The middle-aged man paused, then continued to ask: "Presumably Xiaoyou is not from my Mu County, I don't know where he came from?"

"I'm from Xuecheng County, not a local. Bian Yao replied seriously, noting that the other party's question mentioned Mu County, not Shu County.

In fact, Bian Yao doesn't know a fact, but all the locals who grew up in Shu County have always called themselves Mu County. Among the millions of people in Shuxian County, ten of them are surnamed Mu, and their bones are more or less mixed with the blood of the Mu family, even if the bloodline that symbolizes some kind of glory is very thin, but it cannot reduce the pride and pride in the hearts of Shuxian people.

After listening to Bian Yao's answer, a look of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. In his mind, the cave city is thousands of miles away from Shu County, and what he cares about the most is of course the chaotic plain in the middle, which is an extremely dangerous place, even if he crosses in a team, there is a great possibility of being threatened with death.

After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man didn't ask about it, but said with a smile: "It's rare for outsiders to visit my 'Thousand Bird Village', since Xiaoyou has come here, it is a guest, if there is anything you need help, just ask!"

Bian Yao was overjoyed, and blurted out a question, "Do you know where the Mu family is?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask this question at all, smiled helplessly, and said, "I can't help you with this, and I don't know where the Mu family is." ”

"What are you looking for the Mu family?" After a pause, the man suddenly asked again.

"It's okay, I'm just curious, I want to go and see it. Bian Yao replied with a smile.

The middle-aged man smiled and did not speak, as if he completely believed his words, and did not show the slightest suspicion.

In the Dream Country, there are several very old families, if it is mysterious and powerful, in addition to controlling the exclusivity of the Dream Country, it must belong to the Mu family of Shu County. Not to mention the people from other counties, even the local residents of Shu County, they are all curious and yearning for the Mu family, so Bian Yao's answer seems to be disguised, but it is actually very reasonable.

Twilight is approaching and the sky is getting darker.

"It's getting late, if you want, let's spend the night here. The middle-aged man glanced outside and opened his mouth to suggest.

Bian Yao turned his head to look outside, and after a little thought, he happily agreed.

Seeing that he did not refuse, the middle-aged man nodded at the man next to him, and the man left the house. Not long after, I saw a middle-aged woman in plain clothes walking in with a wooden plate with some fruits and food on the plate.

Due to the special geographical environment, Shuxian County cannot grow cereals, and the local residents mostly rely on various fruits as their staple food.

Regarding the man's invitation and hospitality, although Bian Yao was a little embarrassed, he was not very polite. He sat opposite the master of the house at the table and enjoyed the fruit together.

After dinner, Bian Yao was placed on the second floor, where there were two simple wooden beds with only a linen blanket on them, and nothing else.

At night, the village is quiet, and the occasional night bird chirps, but it becomes more and more quiet and peaceful.

Bian Yao lay on the bed with his eyes open, looking at the night sky outside quietly through the window of the pavilion, thinking for a while, and after his mood calmed down, he safely entered the dream.

Early the next morning, Bian Yao left the bed early, went downstairs to say goodbye to the middle-aged man who was the head of a village, said some words of thanks, and then left the village and headed east.
