"Mu Gongzi, Mu Gongzi, please go slowly!"

"Li Mu, stop!"

Hearing the shouts from behind, Mu Chen walked out of the car, only to see Zhang Heng coming at a high speed with a bundle of thorn grass on his back.

"Zhang Zhutou, why are you here, you are ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Heng dismounted and knelt in front of Mu Chen.

This time Mu Chen was stunned.

"Zhang Zhutou, what are you doing, you can't give red envelopes before the New Year, hurry up."

"Mu Gongzi, you don't have to help me, I'm sorry for you, I already guessed that the other party was diverting the tiger from the mountain in the tea shed yesterday, but I didn't say it, I just want you to help me solve the water ghost, it was my selfishness that almost hurt Miss Gu, I am willing to be punished."

As he spoke, he took off a thorn from his back and handed it over.

"Please."

Mu Chen had already guessed it before, so he didn't plan to have any intersection with Zhang Heng in the future, but he didn't expect this guy to make such a guilty plea, which was enough.

"Zhang Zhutou, you don't have to blame yourself, Ye Feiyang, those guys are coming for me, even if I am wary, I'm afraid it's useless, so this matter has nothing to do with you at all, hurry up."

helped Zhang Heng up, but Zhang Heng was still very guilty.

"Mu Gongzi, I admire your bearing, I have decided to resign from the post of head catcher, follow your left and right, and always be your servant."

Follow me?

Good guy, you've been waiting for me here for a long time, pull you down.

Li Mu was stunned, the good guy is not good at being a person these years, and he is choking.

"Zhang Zhutou, I'm really sorry, I'm used to being a unique person, and I still have a problem, that is, sometimes I go crazy, and I may not be able to distinguish between friend and foe when I'm crazy, Li Mu is a good example, he doesn't know how many times he was beaten by me, and he almost died several times, are you sure you want to follow me?"

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment and hesitated, he just wanted to learn some skills from Mu Chen, if he would die, he should pull it down.

Seeing that Zhang Heng was no longer talking, Mu Chen got into the car with a smile: "Zhang Zhutou, continue to do your best job as a headcatcher, we'll see you again." ”

The carriage went away, and Zhang Heng frowned: "This kid ...... me. ”

Mu Chen smiled indifferently in the car.

"Childe, I don't look like a good person with this surname Zhang."

"Just see it, some words are better to put in your stomach."

"Okay son."

The carriage was far away, Zhang Heng had turned around and left, in Mu Chen's heart, Zhang Heng was just a passerby, but who would have thought that the intersection of the two would not be less in the future.

Mu Chen took out a map and studied it.

This is the current distribution map of Jinhaimen's forces, which Mu Dahai gave to him when Mu Chen was leaving, in order to understand it in advance.

Jinhaimen is a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes, but since the death of the previous master, the current Jinhaimen has been re-taken by the new master, and now it is increasingly turning to a gang business model.

Gambling houses, green houses, medicinal materials, restaurants and other industries are involved, entrenched in Qingzhou City, has become a leading local gang.

Under the Jinhai Gate, there was a gang leader, two messengers, four halls and twelve rudders, each with a hall master and a helmsman, as well as different small leaders scattered in other places, a total of more than a thousand people.

However, with Mu Chen's current strength, it is not difficult to stand out among these thousands of people.

It is three days away from Qingzhou City, although it is a little anxious, but this is not something that can be done in a hurry, now Mu Chen still has 90 merits, it would be good if he could meet some evil spirits on the way.

"Evil spirit, where are you!"

Night was approaching, and the master and servant walked to the barren mountains and mountains, and Li Mu was looking at the map while spinning the map.

"I said that you can't read the map, up and down, down south, left west, right east, you won't understand."

Mu Chen stood aside and stretched.

"Childe, don't worry, I just saw the opposite, now it's no problem, let's go."

Li Mu said as he flipped through the map.

"Whatever you're going to go, it's this hour, let's find a place to stay!"

"Childe, where can I stay in this wilderness, let's hurry overnight, and walk for another hour, there will be Zuojiazhuang in front of us, and there must be an inn over there."

"Zuojiazhuang? It sounds so familiar, I don't want to continue walking, isn't there a small Zhuangzi over there, go over and ask if I can borrow a night. ”

Looking in the direction that Mu Chen pointed to, at the end of the woods in the distance, there was really a vermilion lacquer gate, but there were two white lanterns swaying in the wind on top of the gate, and it looked really crazy in the night.

drove the carriage to the door, and Li Mu immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Who knew that he knocked on the door a few times and didn't answer, so he turned to look at Mu Chen.

"Childe, it seems to be ...... here."

"Who?"

Before Li Mu's words were finished, a very old voice sounded inside the door.

As the door opened, an old man in black with a white lantern poked his head out.

The faint light reflected on the old man's old and thin face, which was a little terrifying, and Li Mu was frightened and took two steps back.

"Who are you?"

The old man looked at the two of them and asked.

"Hello, we are passing by, it is late at night, please let me stay here for a night."

Mu Chen stepped forward and bowed.

The old man looked at the carriage behind the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, come in with me." ”

Walking into the courtyard, the compound is very wide, and there is a strange fruit tree growing in it, the tree is full of blood-red fruits and exudes a strange fragrance, which is really attractive, but if you look closely, it is creepy.

There was a strange human face on each of the abundant fruits, with different expressions of joy and sorrow, and they seemed to be looking at the master and servant.

"Young master, look at what these are, okay...... It's scary. ”

Li Mu whispered in a trembling voice.

It was also the first time for Mu Chen to see such a strange fruit, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, this is a human-faced red fruit, it looks scary, but it is very delicious, if you like it, you can pick two for you to taste."

The old man who walked in front said with a smile.

"No need, we're not hungry, thank you for your kindness." Mu Chen politely refused.

Be careful about everything when you go out, especially this kind of weird thing, it's best not to touch it.

But the old man didn't say anything, and led the two to the guest room.

"There are many wild animals in the woods, and the night breeze is cold, so don't walk around, and don't care about anything you hear."

After saying that, the old man left with the lantern.

The room was very simple, without a trace of abnormality, and when he walked into the room, Mu Chen locked the room directly.

"Childe, why did you lock the door?"

Mu Chen's strange behavior made Li Mu a little puzzled.

"It's better to be cautious about some things."

In fact, after entering this manor, Mu Chen noticed that something was abnormal, and the old man's last words aroused Mu Chen's suspicions, maybe this manor was really very wrong.

"It's a day's errand, you can sleep in bed."

Mu Chen directly moved a chair and sat at the door, closing his eyes.

Li Mu still wanted to say something, but when he saw Mu Chen close his eyes, he didn't say anything more, but he didn't dare to really sleep on the bed, so he just leaned on the side of the bed and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a cat barked outside the door.

The cry was very long, like a ghost crying at night.

Mu Chen opened his eyes and glanced at Li Mu, who was still snoring.

"This thing is really sleeping, and I don't know how to die when I die."

Then he immediately unleashed his divine thoughts, enveloping the entire manor.

Immediately, Mu Chen's face also became extremely ugly.

Dozens of black and white cats appeared in the manor, these cats were much larger than ordinary cats, and all of them had bichromatic eyes, shining with a strange luster under the moonlight.

"Strange, how can there be so many cats?"

There must be a demon when things go wrong, and Mu Chen also knows this truth.

Sure enough, in the next quarter of an hour, these strange cats all converged towards the human-faced red fruit tree.

And the fruit also emitted an eerie glow, accompanied by an eerie laughter.

"What the hell?"

The fruit actually let out a weird laugh, and this scene also shocked Mu Chen.

Is this the fruit becoming fine?

But then something happened that made him even more horrified.

The cats with different colors and eyes turned into human forms the moment they approached the fruit tree, both men and women, young and old, and they were all pale, as if they had lost their souls.

The red fruit of the human face fell precisely into everyone's hands, and when these "people" bit on the fruit at the same time, a terrible scream resounded through the courtyard, and the next second, the qi and blood on the "person" holding the fruit were dying rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than two breaths, everyone turned into a dried corpse, and then weathered and seeped into the soil to become the nourishment of the tree.

And in the place where the fruit was originally plucked from the tree, two human-faced red fruits of the same size were born.

Hiss!

Seeing this scene, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp and a chill down his spine, he never thought that these people were all transformed by the essence of living people, but why were these living people turned into cats, it seems that there should be some terrible evil spirits around here.

"Hee-hee-hee, the delicious feast is about to start again."

With a bewitching voice coming, Mu Chen suddenly found that on the treetops under the moonlight, there was a short-haired beauty wearing a red gauze skirt, and there was a pair of fluffy cat ears on her head.

"Holy, Cat Ear Lady!?"

The cat demon casually picked a human-faced red fruit, and bit off most of it in one bite under the latter's terrible scream.

The bright red juice of the fruit sprayed out like blood, staining the night sky red.

There was a hint of juice on the corner of the cat demon's mouth: "This year's fruit is really delicious, the owner will definitely like it, maybe it will be with me...... Ah, master, you have to be lighter! ”
