Chapter 8: The Storm Rises (1)
After reading the bounty, the vast majority of the monks couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.
Can a monk who has just condensed his qi have a foundation building reward? There must be something wrong.
However, no one will have trouble with the elixir and spirit stones, in the eyes of many foundation building monks, it is not difficult for a mere Qi Condensing Monk to get a whole corpse, it depends on whose hand is fast.
Some monks directly touched the waist card with their hands, while others were integrated into it, and Mu Feng's appearance appeared in their minds, and many monks who were close to Xuantian Sect had even begun to look for it, they didn't want the reward to fall into the hands of others.
…
Xuantian Sect is hundreds of miles away.
Mu Feng walked alone on the avenue, and after leaving the cave, he decided to go back to the city where he had stayed for three years, to visit Uncle Lin and the girl named Lin Yueyao.
"Huh? What are you doing here alone, brother? ”
Mu Feng turned his head and looked at the people behind him.
With the experience of the previous two people, a man and a woman, his consciousness has been scattered, and he has long been aware of several people walking towards him, but those people are not monks, he didn't care, but he didn't expect the other party to start greeting.
Mu Feng clenched his fists slightly, "Go down to visit relatives in the city." ”
One of the big men walked up and laughed, "Hahaha... If you don't dislike it, you can go with us, although we don't go to the city, but it's a direction, you're not safe alone, and you can take care of it with us. ”
Mu Feng clenched his fists again, "Thank you for this big brother, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, the big man said, "Don't shirk yet, there are a lot of wild beasts in this vicinity, and there are often bandits blocking the road not far ahead." Dahan looked at Mu Feng for a moment and then changed his voice, "And I think you're afraid you're a scholar, right?" ”
Mu Feng couldn't help but look at himself a little, then looked at the big man in front of him, and then nodded, in the eyes of the other party, he was afraid that he could only be a weak scholar.
"That's it, if you encounter a beast or a bandit, will it be difficult for you to reason with them? Don't say that Xiucai can't be justified when he meets a soldier, but the beast can't understand human words, hahahaha..."
"That's it, this brother, you don't have to worry, we brought my young lady back from Zhao Country this time, passing through here, you are not a bad person, besides, you don't even have a burden on you, and you are worried that I won't be able to cheat you out of money?"
Mu Feng still hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "Then I will disturb a few brothers." ”
"You're welcome, who doesn't have a difficult place when you're out of the house, by the way, my name is Zhuang Han, this is my eldest brother Zhuang Wen, and I don't know your name?" The big man pointed to the man beside him, then looked at Mu Feng and asked.
"Under the shepherd's wind."
"Brother Mu, I wonder if you can ride a horse?"
"Yes, as long as Brother Zhuang doesn't want to ride too fast, there should be no problem." Mu Feng smiled.
"That's fine." Dahan looked behind him, "Little Lizi, bring a horse to this brother." ”
"Wait."
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded.
The big man hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss, the brother in front of me seems to be a scholar, I am worried that he will encounter fierce beasts or robbers in this forest, so I will take him on a journey by the way." ”
"Brother Zhuang misunderstood, I saw that the little brother was weak, and he couldn't bear the long-distance horseback ride, so let her get on the sedan chair."
"But Miss, he's a man, and you're..."
"It doesn't matter."
The big man hesitated a little and then walked in front of Mu Feng, "Brother Mu, my young lady is afraid that your body can't stand the bumps of riding a horse for a long time, so let you take a sedan chair." ”
Mu Feng glanced at the sedan chair and shook his head slightly, "No need, although I am just a scholar, I am not a scholar, and I am used to riding cattle and donkeys in the countryside, and riding a horse is still difficult for me." ”
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a young girl walked out, and the girl walked in front of Mu Feng and bowed slightly, "Little girl Ye Linglong, the son is polite." ”
"In Xia Mufeng, Miss Ye is polite." Mu Feng also hugged his fists and saluted back.
"Mu Gongzi, the closest to this place is Yecheng, where our group is going to go, and the distance is far away, not to mention ten days and a half months, if you go back home and let my father know, I let a scholar ride a horse for half a month, I am afraid that he will scold me." The girl said softly.
Mu Feng smiled helplessly, "Then thank you, Miss." ”
…
"I heard that Mu Gongzi said that he was going to visit relatives in the city, so I don't know where Mu Gongzi's original family lived?" Ye Linglong suddenly asked.
"I don't even know where I was born, but I grew up in a small mountain village a few hundred miles south of the city."
"Oh?" Ye Linglong was surprised when she heard this, "This is a coincidence, my mother is from the city." ”
"Then you—" Mu Feng was halfway through his words, when he suddenly turned his head to look at one place, as if his gaze could penetrate the curtain of the sedan chair.
"Shepherd?" Ye Linglong couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she saw Mu Feng suddenly like this.
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, "In the early stage of foundation building...", he turned his head to look at Ye Linglong and said, "My hearing is a little different from ordinary people, I seem to have heard some movement over there just now." ”
"Don't be a bandit, right? I asked Brother Zhuang to take a look. Ye Linglong said as she lifted the curtain and shouted forward, "Brother Zhuang, you go over there to see if there is a problem." ”
"Howler!"
Zhuang Han wanted to ride his horse in the direction of Ye Linglong's finger, but at this moment, a person suddenly stepped on a sword in the sky.
Immediately fell directly in front of Mu Feng and his party, this person was wearing a black robe, looking more than twenty years old, quite handsome.
"Monk?" Zhuang Han frowned and looked at the person who fell, "This friend, I don't know what it means to stop in front of us?" ”
The handsome man glanced at Zhuang Han, and then his divine sense swept over everyone.
"Huh?"
The handsome man couldn't help but sigh lightly, just now when his divine sense swept over this group of people in the sky, he clearly sensed a person who was very similar to the bounty order.
But after a moment's sweep, the man disappeared from his consciousness, and in his astonishment, he came down to check what was going on.
He was a foundation building monk, and his divine sense was not weak, and he thought that even a foundation building monk would not be able to suddenly disappear under his divine sense.
But at this time, when it was so close, no anomalies were found.
The handsome man didn't hesitate, since the divine sense probe was ineffective, then just approach and look at them one by one.
Mu Feng and his entourage were only a dozen people, and after a while, the handsome man had already seen everyone's faces once, and was about to approach the sedan chair at this time, but Zhuang Han's voice of cheering rang out.
"Friend, please stop."
The handsome man ignored it and still moved forward.
Zhuang Han frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Friend, in the sedan chair is Ye Cheng Ye Xuan's daughter, even if you are a monk, you must have heard of it." ”
The handsome man was startled when he heard this, and his steps stopped moving forward.
He thought for a moment and then smiled: "Hehe, how can you prove that the person in the sedan chair is the daughter of the Ye City Lord?" Besides, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, when the time comes, I will just say that I don't know, presumably City Lord Ye would rather believe me than believe you as a reckless man, right? ”
With that, he lifted his feet and wanted to step on the sedan chair.
And at this moment, in the sedan chair, a slender jade hand stretched out, holding a token in his hand.
The front of the token is vigorous, while the back is carved in the shape of a leaf.
"It's okay if Childe wants to come in and check on one or two, but I also ask Childe to leave his name, so that I can go back and tell my father who took care of me when I returned." The jade hand was withdrawn, and Ye Linglong's voice came out.
The handsome man hesitated, although Ye Xuan, the city lord of Ye City, was not a monk, but he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and everyone under his command was afraid of even ordinary monks.
And the most important thing is that Ye Xuan's father, Ye Min, is a contemporary Confucian, and there are countless students under him, many of whom have monks, even some Yuanying monks often go to ask for advice or two, and the entire Wei State and the surrounding neighboring countries call him 'Ye Sheng'.
"It turned out that it was really Miss Ye, who was offended." After weighing the pros and cons, the handsome man hurriedly took two steps back and hugged his fist.
"It's okay, if there's nothing else, please don't get in the way of me."
The handsome man took a few more steps to the side, making room for a few people to walk.
"Brother Zhuang, let's go."
After Zhuang Han heard this, he glanced at the handsome man again, and rode his horse to open the way ahead.
The handsome man gritted his teeth, "That person is obviously very similar to the bounty order, but the Ye family is not something I can offend, besides, the bounty order says that he is only a layer of condensation, and he will definitely not be able to escape the detection of my divine sense, forget it..."
Stepping on his sword again, he flew into the distance, continuing to search for the person who had offered the bounty.
…
Mu Feng on the sedan chair had a cloudy face at this time, and his divine sense had been locked on the handsome monk just now, so the other party was talking to himself for a long time, and he listened to it word for nothing.
"Bounty Order..."Mu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although Mu Feng's voice was extremely small, it was also heard by Ye Linglong, he looked at Mu Feng and asked, "Mu Gongzi, what order?" Could that person just now be looking for you? ”
Mu Feng smiled dumbly, this woman is afraid that her ears are really different from ordinary people, "Oh, I'm just talking to myself." Then he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I heard Brother Zhuang say just now that person is a monk?" ”
Ye Linglong replied: "A monk is a person who cultivates immortals, but my grandfather said that cultivating immortals pays attention to immortal fate and spiritual roots, and the monk who once visited my grandfather also said that I have good qualifications, but my grandfather said that the path of a monk is too bumpy, and he is reluctant to let me suffer, so he didn't let me go, so I didn't go." ”
"I see, I have been taught, it seems that Miss Ye's grandfather is also a very famous person."
Ye Linglong is usually very close to his grandfather, and when he heard Mu Feng's appreciation, he smiled and said: "Grandpa is a famous Confucian in Wei State, you should have heard his name as a scholar." ”
Mu Feng didn't care much about who the other party was, but when he heard Ye Linglong say this, he was also curious, and secretly thought: "Wei has a famous Confucian, surnamed Ye... Could it be..."
Mu Feng looked at Ye Linglong, his face was full of shock, "Miss Ye, dare to ask if your grandfather is Ye Min, Mr. Ye?" ”
Although Ye Linglong was very sure that Mu Feng knew that his grandfather was famous, he never expected the other party to be so surprised, and nodded subconsciously.
"To tell you the truth, when I was young, I was taught by a master for three years, Zou Wenli and Zou Master, and he was also a student of Mr. Ye." Mu Feng shook his head helplessly, this is fate.
Ye Linglong was taken aback, "What?" Your teacher is Zou Fuzi? I wonder if he's okay now? ”
Mu Feng said with a look of remembrance: "Before I left, the teacher was all right, but it has been five or six years since I left..."
