Feathering the capital, east.

Mu Qing followed the caravan into the city from outside the city, and it was prosperous, several times more prosperous than back then, and the population increased dramatically while also enjoying it.

Compared with the Xuanji Capital in the past and the Feathered Capital today, it is indeed colder, and there are heavy guards everywhere, and everyone is afraid.

The last time I entered the city that year was to help the eldest prince enter the earth for peace, but this time I entered the city to inquire about the Yun family.

Mu Qing found that this place in the capital, for him, if there is no important matter, he is generally too lazy to come.

This is the Longtan Tiger's Den, where a big dragon is hidden, and the slightest carelessness will devour people to the point that there are no bones left.

As soon as I entered the tavern and settled down, someone soon came to the door.

He stood outside the door and respectfully pleaded, "Mr. Mu, my family master is invited." ”

The man pushed open the door slightly, and from the gap it appeared in the shape of a token, made of purple gold and jade, and there was a domineering word 'feathering' in the center.

Mu Qing was a little helpless, and he was also surprised, he was known by Yuhua Immortal as soon as he entered the city, and the intelligence system was too powerful.

He then followed the man, passed through the obstacles into the inner city, and then went straight to the Imperial Garden, and as soon as he passed through the garden arch, he looked up and saw the Feather Immortal teasing the fish in the pool.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but your interest is much more elegant." Mu Qing did not shy away from it and spoke directly.

The subordinate who led the way for him suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart, do you know who this person in front of you is? Didn't even say hello, and spoke so directly?

Then, he was shocked to find that the emperor, who had not smiled all the year round, showed a light smile after seeing this person.

He was in a trance, it turned out that His Majesty did not look as domineering as before.

Yuhua Immortal waved his hand, signaled the man to step back, and beckoned Mu Qing to sit down in the Octagonal Pavilion.

"You're amazing, it's only been a few years since you were able to kill the Sect Ancestor, I was amazed."

Hearing this, Mu Qing was stunned at first, and then laughed: "The news is really well-informed." ”

"After all, there are also spies from the Dragon Hall over there, and it was Yan Zun who died, I know it's not strange." Feathered Immortal laughed.

Dealing with such a person, Mu Qing asked himself if he was really unsure.

Unlike others, Yuhua Immortal is too thoughtful, cooperating with the Dragon Hall of Resentment and befriending himself at the same time, as if he can see through his mind at a glance, but it is covered by a heavy fog.

Mu Qing nodded noncommittally and said, "I just want to ask you something." ”

"I know everything." Yu Huaxian nodded, poured tea for him, and then said with a smile: "I've been too tired in the past few years, and it's hard for you to come back, but you can stay with me for two more days to relieve your boredom." ”

What do you mean..... Mu Qing was embarrassed and felt that this was strange.

He put away his thoughts and said, "What's the matter with Yunyi?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Huaxian's hand holding the teacup was obviously stunned, and his expression was a little strange.

For a moment, the four became extremely quiet, and even the faint sound of the wind disappeared in an instant.

Mu Qing was unmoved, he felt normal for the Feather Immortal to use his methods.

At the same time, he knew that he was asking the key.

After the next day, the Feather Immortal breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It almost pushed me to the guillotine." ”

"If you die so easily, you won't have the feather you have now." Mu Qing said calmly.

Feather Immortal motioned for this topic to stop, and then explained: "I also only learned about the news that Yunyi became the Eleventh Lord because of you, and then I went to inquire about it, and the answer I got was related to the above. ”

Topmost? Upper Celestial ...... Mu Qing's mind was active, and he asked again: "Except for some dogs left by the Yun family to guard the door, everyone else has gone up, what else can happen?" ”

"It is said that an old immortal in the old era of the Yun family took a fancy to Yun Yi, but he was reluctant to meet the demons of the Shangqing Realm, so he sent him back to practice, but I didn't expect that Yun Yi actually made peace with the Dragon Hall for several years."

Mu Qing learned from Yuhua Immortal that Yun Yi's return was most likely more than just as simple as the investigation.

He frankly admitted that the Feather Dynasty also had old-timers on it, and he asked for information and learned that great changes were taking place above it.

"The four phases may be returning."

This sentence made Mu Qingdeng stunned in place, his brows tightened, and his thoughts had drifted out of the nine heavens.

The former masters are coming back? It is indeed powerful to change everything.

The most important thing is that this means that the avenue of the four-phase boundary and the Shangqing realm will be opened!

Feather Immortal sighed and said, "We mortals have ascended, and we think that we are one of the four phases when we cultivate any kind of avenue, but in fact, the real four phases have never looked at us at all. ”

He took out an ancient book that Emperor Yuhua collected information back then, and it was all about the four phases, and it was okay to turn the first few pages, but at the back, it was a brutal fact.

Mu Qing was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this ancient book, and Yuhua Immortal also saw it and issued a heavenly oath.

He said that he had not changed anything since the day he got it, and if it was fake, it could only be that it was fake from the beginning, and that he was left by the emperor to deliberately discredit the four phases.

But Yuhua Immortal groaned and said, "I have a bad relationship with the emperor, and he won't lie to me." ”

For that best friend, he was extremely convinced, but it was a pity that they didn't investigate together at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up with no bones.

Once the four phases return, it is not only the Shangqing Realm that will suffer..... Mu Qing thought about it and felt that he should make plans early.

According to the current situation, the combat power of the Sinking Realm is concentrated in the Shangqing Realm, not only that, but even those future combat power are also on it.

Suddenly, a terrible thought about the Heavenly Dao had sprung up in his mind!

"What if the Heavenly Dao exerts its general momentum, is it just for this group of people to fight against the Four Phases?" He didn't say it, and he felt his scalp tingle.

If this is the case, then who is on the side of the human race between the Heavenly Dao and the former master in the underworld?

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, put away his thoughts, and immediately asked, "Since Yun Yi has become the Eleventh Lord, why has his strength increased so fast?" ”

"Fast?" Yuhua Immortal scratched his face with a serious suspicion: "It should be because the laws of the Shangqing Realm are perfect, plus with the help of the Yun family's seniors." ”

He and Yun Yi have not met yet, but they only learned about this from the mouth of the fifth master, and later the tenth master also mentioned that the current Yun Yi has the strength of the sect ancestor and his combat power is extraordinary.

"He'll be able to kill the Patriarch too." Mu Qing's face instantly became solemn.

This is definitely not good news.

Back then, Yun Yi relied on his own brain to kill a group of holy sons of the capital, and even obtained the treasure of the bereaved clan, but now his strength has skyrocketed, and it is even more difficult to deal with.

Mu Qing regretted it incomparably, he should have mobilized all his forces to encircle and suppress Yunyi in the secret realm, even if the final price was great, he had to grit his teeth and bear it.

After this, Mu Qing got up to say goodbye, Yuhua Immortal wanted to keep him, but when he thought of Yun Yi's side, he no longer stopped him, and kindly reminded: "Yun Yi is not what it used to be, don't die." ”

"No matter how powerful Yun Yi is, compared to the White Emperor, it should be a little worse." Mu Qing smiled, and then took off into the air.

........

Leaving the capital of Yuhua, Mu Qing headed north-west, passing through hundreds of small towns, and the lone boat was like a comet, traversing the sky.

Many people have seen it, and some strong people have sensed this coercion that is not weaker than that of the Patriarch, but it is very faint and fleeting, causing the local monks to exclaim.

Mu Qing sat on the deck of the lone boat, silently thinking in his heart,

As the evening approached, returning to this place after many years of absence, Mu Qing found that his mood had actually made waves?

It's bizarre because, technically, he's not a native.

However, he soon realizes that this is an instinctive reaction of the body, mapped from the depths of the body to the body action.

"If these are fine, if you become a demon one day, wouldn't it be difficult to do it."

He was thoughtful and didn't want to be haunted by troublesome demons, so after practicing, he made a lot of preparations and research, and the demons were naturally listed.

Statistics made in the early years showed that on average, three out of ten cultivators died from the trouble of the inner demons, or because the inner demons could not move forward.

He said in his heart: "Prevent it in advance." ”

Stopping at the gate of Poplar Town, he walked in, and now Poplar Town is much more prosperous than when he left, and most places have changed.

If it weren't for the memories of his childhood rolling out, Mu Qing would have wondered if he had made a mistake?

The surface of the bluestone bricks has been white, and several places are covered with extravagant glazed tiles, and the familiar stone lions have also become larger objects such as pixiu and dragon carvings.

They stand majestically, immensely majestic, lifelike, with sacredness and majesty.

Came to a tavern that was not closed, with the sign of the Mu family hanging at the door, and looked up at the second floor, which had long been renovated, but the memory was still old.

He remembered that Zhang Daolin was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight in that position, and almost pulled the Mu family and the Lei family into the water.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he came back with the head of the double evil, which completely disrupted his plan..... Mu Qing smiled bitterly, he was really weak back then.

"The one who can't kill the spirit, but he almost ended my legend." He muttered.

Moving on, seven or eight young men were all drunk, talking and laughing and leaving the liquor store, and girls were standing on the side of the street, dressed beautifully, with charming eyes, more swaggering than butterflies.

Along the way, most of them are the Mu family's property, and only a small part of them are the Lei family.

He entered the spice shop that had not yet closed, thought that Mu Xiaoxiao and Mu Ling liked it, carefully selected, and then wrapped it with his own hands.

At this time, a team of five people came in front, wearing a uniform black robe, holding a sword, walking in a tiger, looking like an ordinary guard.

Holding the spices and slowly approaching, Mu Qing looked sideways slightly, and caught a glimpse of the emblem on their chests: "Mu family? ”

He was puzzled, when did the Mu family's guards become so formal?

After passing through seven or eight streets, when Mu Qing returned to the familiar lintel again, he was stunned and silent for a long time.

In front of it, the courtyard was closed, the plaque had long been removed, the two stone lions at the door were gone, and the brittle grass grew out of the cracks, and the cobwebs were dense, no longer in the past.

"Damn, my whole family has moved away, and no one has informed me."

He shook his head with a wry smile, remembering that he had seen a stalk back then, and it was a child on the grassland......

didn't leave in a hurry, stepped forward and pushed the door in, and then, an evil wind blew in his face, with a bit of a foul smell, fortunately, it quickly dissipated.

With a frown, Mu Qing exerted his soul power, and the picture reflected in his mind made him extremely frightened.

The yard is full of ghosts!

There are hanged ghosts suspended in mid-air, sticking out their tongues; There are vain ghosts who have been broken by the waist; And the drowning ghosts in the wells....... Densely packed, there are dozens of them.

They all stared at Mu Qing viciously, as if Mu Qing had disturbed them, and there was a terrible chill between their eyebrows, wanting to devour him.

However, in the face of these ghosts, he was not as afraid as in his previous life, after all, he was also accompanied by one.

In the blink of an eye, the dementor flag was thrown into the air by him, and the white-haired ghost fell out, and in an instant, in the courtyard where the soul was reflected, the ghost cried wolf and howled, and all the ghosts were frightened and fled in a hurry.

They are like ordinary people, and the ghost generals are high up in the immortals, like mice seeing cats, and their malice is instantly annihilated.

The ghost general sensed the ghost thing, and without waiting for Mu Qing to tend, he immediately attacked, using thunder means, every time he killed one, he would immediately devour the ghost qi and fill himself.

Here, the ghost generals are happy to kill, and Mu Qing wanders around as if he has nothing to do, and occasionally encounters a ghost that suddenly comes out, and he will be killed mercilessly.

His soul realm is extremely powerful, if he really turns into a ghost after death, he is definitely at the ancestor level, and if he is placed in the ghost realm, he is also a ghost king.

All the way to the original yard, it is very strange, the other yards have been dilapidated, only my own, is still new.

Mu Qing walked in, outside, the ghost general had already killed all the ghosts and rushed back, but the gauntlet was a little damaged, Mu Qing recalled the memory of the ghost general and learned that it met a red-clothed ghost.

The appearance of the ghost made Mu Qing stunned, he knew this girl, she was from the Zhang family.

She is a girl raised by Zhang Daolin, and it is very powerful and abnormal to turn into a ghost after death, but fortunately, the ghost general has already been promoted, otherwise she will force Mu Qing to make a move.

"Could it be that the Zhang family is seeking revenge?" Mu Qing was skeptical.

Back then, the Zhang family designed to kill two families, but in the end, they were killed by the two families, and Mu Qing and Lei Mang directly killed Zhang Daolin, and in the eyes of the Zhang family, it was indeed a deep hatred.

destroyed the Zhang family and killed Zhang Daolin, probably that woman really loved that bastard, otherwise, why bother?

Mu Qing entered the courtyard and looked left and right: "Someone cleans it every day." ”

He saw a faint footprint on the ground, brushed it lightly with his hand, and the heavenly power imprinted the footprints on the ground, and then suspended in mid-air.

Carefully discern it, it looks like a man's footprints.

Swish!

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, a black shadow rushed out, Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly calmed down.

He observed that the speed of the black shadow's moves was not fast, and its strength was average, but the black shadow was a little strange and too short.

Mu Qing stepped away, and on the side of his body, he stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the black shadow, and after looking closely, he muttered, "Wooden sword? ”

He was extremely fast, and he reached out his right hand like lightning, and the black shadow had nowhere to escape, so he was grabbed out of the darkness by Mu Qing and thrown into the courtyard.

"Ouch!" A clear wail came from the courtyard, followed by a childish insult: "Which guard! Blind your dog's eyes, you dare to break into my ancestral home! ”

"Ancestral home?"

Mu Qing grinned, instantly understanding the origin of this little guy, the descendant of the Mu family.

He walked out of the door, flicked his fingers, and the wooden sword was instantly bounced off, and then turned into a match, rushed out, and slammed into the east wall, bursting out with a deafening bang.

Seeing this, the child on the ground immediately broke into a cold sweat, swallowed his saliva, and his smiling face in the moonlight looked even paler.

He looked at the man in front of him with some fear, and asked in a trembling voice, "You..... Which one are you! Believe it or not, I'm looking for Uncle Luo to beat you, this is my family's ancestral home! ”

"This is my home, when will it become your ancestral home?" Mu Qing smiled lightly and decided to tease him.

The relocation of the entire Mu family should not be far away, but there are so many ghosts in this place, this child dares to come alone, and he is not small, but he doesn't know which vein.

He thought about it carefully, it seemed that in the Mu family's lineage, there was no one who practiced ghost arts, could it be that Mu Bai had reformed? Have a new branch returning?

"Your home?" The child frowned, patted his buttocks and got up, with a displeased expression: "This is my Uncle Mu's home, which onion are you?" Hurry up and let me go, don't let the master see you, it's my turn to keep vigil today, and I don't want to toss with you. ”

This kid was clever and knew that he couldn't beat him, so he immediately moved out of the backstage to talk to Mu Qing.

At this time, his face was serious, his eyebrows and eyes were also very firm, and he really gave people the illusion that there was a master hidden in the dark.

But Mu Qing had already sensed it before coming in, and the breath of living people in the entire courtyard was just this child, and it was estimated that he had run out to play, and when the time came, he would have to have a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.

"Seven or eight-year-old children are so domineering, don't you know that there is a sky outside the sky?" Mu Qing bent down and smiled and bent his eyes.

But in the eyes of children, this smile is extremely weird, even more terrifying than those ghosts.

Then, in the next ten seconds, he experienced the pain of his ass blooming!

Bang, after being beaten, the child lay on the table with tears in his eyes, crying: "You bully the child!" Wow wow! ”

"Okay, tell me, which of your Uncle Mu's homes is this? If you don't answer correctly, you'll be beaten, I'm already in the middle of here, and no one can help you. Mu Qing sat on the stone bench and looked at him with a smile.

The child rubbed his buttocks, looked at this evil face, and muttered, "Why did you tell you?" I don't betray my uncle to death. ”

"Interesting." Mu Qing smiled, and then, the child was beaten.

After a crackling meal of stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, the child completely gave in, biting his lower lip, holding back tears, and looking at this uninvited guest angrily.

Mu Qing took the rattan, wiped a drop of sweat, and sighed: "I haven't beaten a child for a long time, I'm so tired." ”

"Worse than my mother." The child pouted, and his cheeks were red because he was crying so much.

But then, Mu Qing came with a glare, and he was so frightened that he was immediately silenced, and then the child asked rhetorically: "Do you know who I am?" ”

"Tell me, whose house is this?" Mu Qing said with a smile.

"I know that you will be afraid of death, and when my Uncle Mu comes back, I will let him beat your ass!" The child bared his teeth.

"You just lie here and don't move, I'll go change a rattan ....."

Mu Qing showed the kindness of the old father, and said the words that scared the crying child, and then he really got up in the stunned eyes of the child.

"Don't, don't, I say." The child was scared and cried, this guy is too cruel, he beats the child at every turn, doesn't he have a childhood?

He pursed his lips and said reluctantly, "It's Mu Qing, Uncle Mu Qing." ”

"Mu Qing?" Sitting down, holding the rattan, he pretended to be meditative, and then said solemnly: "Isn't it already dead?" ”

"Nonsense!" The child was suddenly angry and wanted to stand up, but the injury on his buttocks was painful, and he gasped and replied unwillingly: "Uncle Qing won't die, my mother said, he is Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, and the iron rooster in Xiaoqiang ....."

"Uh, no, big hen." The child then added.

Mu Qing's face suddenly darkened, what is the description of this TM, is this scolding me? Or scold me.

It seemed that he felt that something was wrong, and the child had to correct it, but Mu Qing raised his hand to interrupt: "Okay, you said your mother..... So who is your mother? ”

At the mention of this, the child's nose immediately grew ten centimeters, his hands were crossed on his waist, and he was extremely proud, so he almost looked at Mu Qing with his nostrils, but when he just wanted to do this, Mu Qing already had a new rattan in his hand.

The child suddenly withered, and whispered: "Who in Mujiazhen doesn't know that my mother is an iron lady?" An iron spear is superb....."

"Iron Lady?" Mu Qing muttered, it seems that no one uses a gun? Then, he noticed a key point and looked at the child with some surprise: "You said this is Mujiazhen?" Isn't Poplar Town? ”

"Huh?" The child looked at him like a fool, but in the face of obscenity, he gave in: "Poplar Town was the name of several years ago, and I was not even born at that time. ”

Subsequently, Mu Qing had a 'friendly and cordial' conversation with the child and learned a lot of news.

The child is stubborn, and he will honestly say some news that he hears casually, but if he wants to ask about the secrets of the Mu family, he would rather die.

This made Mu Qing have a strong interest in this child, and he was very curious, who is this Iron Lady? actually taught such a wonderful child.

What can't be beaten Xiaoqiang? What iron rooster in Xiaoqiang? Is this a boast?

With a simple two-sentence description, Mu Qing felt a strong malice, which was all aimed at himself, and it was obvious that he must have known him.

In the second half of the night, Mu Qing applied medicine to the child, and felt that his buttocks were cold, and he also saw that Mu Qing was not a wicked person, and his courage was much greater: "Uncle, how did you break the formation outside?" ”

"Formation?" Mu Qing was stunned, is there a formation outside? Why don't I feel it?

"It's that bunch of ghosts, Uncle Mu Bai arranged it, and Uncle Lei Mang also arrived that day, but it's amazing, there are a lot of ghosts, but they're all very cute." The child lay on the table, supported his head with his hands, and said with a smile, he went to find Xiaohong in a while.

Little Red? The red-clothed ghost..... Mu Qing smiled and said secretly in his heart: "You don't have a chance in this life." ”

Then he found out that this child had a jade pendant on his body, and he also had a strong yin qi, and it was this thing that protected him from being killed by ghosts when he walked around this house.

"It turns out that Lei Mang and Mu Bai have reached a cooperation, no wonder they will change their name to Mujia Town, this Lei Mang knows the times." He muttered, relieved.

After treating the wound, the child was surprised to find that it really didn't hurt anymore, and he didn't feel anything.

He looked at Mu Qing expectantly, and jumped up and down from a distance to pull out the wooden sword and handed it to him: "Uncle, can you give me the ointment?" In this way, when my mother beats me, I don't have any pain. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you kid really deserves to be beaten sometimes." Mu Qing glanced at the dead fish, and finally couldn't stand the watery eyes, and gave him two boxes.

Then he told the child that he was going to stay here for a while, and that he would come by himself every night, and that no one should tell him.

The child didn't understand, but he also understood that Mu Qing had no malicious intentions, so he immediately agreed, but on the contrary, he wanted Mu Qing to protect this house, otherwise, he would sue tomorrow, absolutely unambiguous.

"Your mother is really good at teaching children."

"You're not a bad person anyway, I can see it." The child giggled, and then said goodbye to Mu Qing.

Then, he ran back to remind him that Xiaohong would stand at the head of the bed in the middle of the night, but don't be afraid, she just looks at it and leaves.
