The Royal Court of Middle-earth.

"Young master. The Sword Sect had already made a move, and was ordered to intercept and kill Tu Mo outside Wuyuan City, but was killed by Tu Mo in the palm of his hand. ”

On the sparkling surface of the lake, a small boat sailed on it, and the oars slid and splashed the water, crumbling the calm of the lake.

Ripples rippled round and round from under the sliding oars.

Aoi sat at the stern of the boat, gently waving the oars between her hands, allowing the boat to paddle slowly across the lake. Xiao Kui looked intently at the white-clothed figure sitting on the bow of the boat.

"The world is in chaos, how can these Jianghu sects stay out of the matter. It's just that, to my surprise, the Sword Sect shot so quickly, it seems that he is a little out of breath. ”

Bai Hua sat on the bow of the boat, gently shaking the folding fan in his hand, and the breeze blew through it, blowing the hair that Bai Hua draped behind him.

"The Sword Sect is the number one faction in the inner rivers and lakes, if he sends someone from the peak of the Sword Sect's martial arts to the Central Continent, Tu Mo must be in a catastrophe. If Tu Mo dies in Zhongzhou, our plan will be frustrated, and the attention of the other three parties will be focused on our Beimo, and at that time, our Beimo will be invincible with two fists and six hands, and we will be on the cusp of the storm, teetering. ”

A trace of worry flashed between Xiao Kui's eyes, and the words in her mouth paused, and then she spoke again. "Young Master, should we let them take action and contain the Sword Sect. Leave time for Tu Mo, let him get rid of the civil strife in Middle-earth, and share the worries of the young master. ”

"Troubled times, good troubled times. ”

A burst of laughter came out of Bai Hua's mouth, and in his slightly squinted eyes, it was a cold mang. "If what I expected, this time the Sword Sect made a move, just to warn Tu Mo not to disrupt their layout in the Middle Continent, it's just that they thought Tu Mo was too simplistic. ”

"If this Tu Mo is just a mountain village wild man with brute strength, why should I spend so much time on him. The people of the Guigu school not only hold an indifferent Dao heart, but also outstanding martial arts. What's more important is that, only people from the Guigu school can practice the Guiguzi Art of War. ”

The Guiguzi Art of War is the biggest secret of the Guigu School, and there are only rumors, and no one has ever heard of it.

"Young master. This Guiguzi art of war is just a rumor, and Tu Mo is so young, how can he be against the master of the peak of the martial arts of the Sword Sect. ”

After the boat rowed to the middle of the lake, Xiao Kui stopped the movement in her hands, put her hands together, gently put them on her legs, and spoke.

"Xiao Kui, you are from the Yin and Yang School, so you shouldn't underestimate the people of the Guigu School. As everyone knows, the most mysterious thing in this world is not the hegemony of the king and the mind of the emperor, but the people of the Guigu school. The troubled times are out, the prosperous times are hidden, and no one knows the secrets in the Guigu school. ”

When the boat stopped, Bai Hua stood up, his body standing proudly on the bow of the boat, his clothes fluttering. Bai Hua put his left hand behind his back, put his right hand on his chest, shook the folding fan in his hand, and spoke. "Even the Crane Dao people who were driven out by the Guigu School avoid talking about some secrets of the Guigu School, that is, the Crane Dao people who accompany him are not as good as I know about the Guigu School,"

"What does the young master mean, let's wait and see what happens?"

Xiao Aoi said. The figure standing proudly on the bow of the boat is full of Xiaokui's eyes.

"It's not. Since the troubled times, our layout can be chaotic, and Tu Mo can't die. Xiao Kui, when you go back next time, you will inform Xin Haige and ask Elder Wang Junhao to go to Zhongzhou and secretly protect Tu Mo, remember, don't expose your whereabouts. ”

Bai Hua shook his head and said. "If the situation is unclear today, let Xinhai Pavilion hide outside the red dust. The time is not enough, and you can't go down the mountain yet, and you can't reveal your whereabouts. ”

"I did this, just adding an extra talisman to Tu Mo. As for Wutong Villa in Zhongzhou, he wouldn't let Tu Mo die like this. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

Xiao Kui received the order, let go of the hands on his lap, re-grasped the oars, and shook them gently.

Middle-earth.

Passing through the ancient road at your feet, there is a wide road, which leads in all directions, winds its way and spreads to the entire land of Middle-earth.

The ancestral dragon leyline is the full name of this road, the winding road resembles the body of a dragon, and at the end of the road, there is the royal court of Zhongzhou, which is like the head of a dragon.

"Young master, the next road will be guided by the old slave. ”

After Tu Mo and Xingchenzi came to the ancestral dragon leyline, Xingchenzi bowed to Tu Mo's side, raised his feet and walked in front of Tu Mo, leading the way for Tu Mo.

The ancestral dragon leyline is very wide, not necessarily narrower than Jinggu Avenue. Tu Mo hung his hands at his side, and his figure fell behind Xingchenzi, stepping on a narrow branch road.

"Young master, before returning to the royal city, the old slave led the young master to meet a person, who was an old friend of the former king. It is also the master of a village, and there are not a few capable people under him, if the young master can get the help of this person and get rid of the civil strife in Middle-earth, he will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Xingchenzi spoke in front of him, but his clothes fluttered and he never looked back.

"Lead the way. ”

Tu Mo knew that he was alone in Zhongzhou, although he was accompanied by Xingchenzi, but he was just a strategist, and he could only hide behind the scenes.

The slip road, crooked and twisted, went through the dense forest and around the lake.

Half an hour later, the scene in front of Tu Mo opened up, and a mountain villa stood in front of him. The gate of the villa is hung high, the lantern is hung high, and between the two huge dark red columns, there are four gilded characters of "Wutong Villa". On the two heavy dark red gates, the dragon is carved and the phoenix is carved, which is not magnificent.

"Xingchenzi and the young master of my family came to visit the owner of Wutong Villa. ”

Xingchenzi stepped forward, and after three clicks on the deadbolt, he opened his mouth and said loudly.

"Squeak.........

As Xingchenzi's words fell, the two heavy doors opened a width that could be used for one person to enter and exit.

"Young master. ”

Xingchenzi turned, took a step back, and bowed down. When Tu Mo walked into the gate of Wutong Villa, Xingchenzi stood upright and stepped into the villa with his feet raised.

When Tu Mo and Xingchenzi both stepped into Wutong Villa, the two doors closed automatically.

"The Mo family's tricks!"

Tu Mo stood with his hands hanging down to his side, his eyes were spinning, and his gaze was scattered, but he found a secret compartment that was hidden by all his might.

"Young master, wait a moment. ”

Xingchenzi stood beside Tu Mo, arched his hand, and spoke.

It was only a moment before Tu Mo saw a middle-aged man who was a little fat and looked like a housekeeper trotting all the way, with a little urgency in his mouth and nose and a little eagerness on his face.

"I don't know that the young master is coming, and his subordinates are not welcome, and I hope that the young master will forgive his sins. ”

The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper ran to Tu Mo a little out of breath, his body was short, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and slammed his head on the ground.

"No need to do this, take me to the owner. ”

As soon as Tu Mo's body moved, his plain clothes swayed, and Tu Mo walked around behind the housekeeper, not receiving this great gift from the housekeeper.

"Yes, my subordinates will take the young master to see the owner. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly got up, didn't even pat off the dust on his trouser legs, came to Tu Mo's side, bowed his body, made a gesture of please, and then took the lead in the front.

Tu Mo raised his feet and moved his body, and Xingchenzi followed closely by Tu Mo's side.

The group crossed the rockery, stepped on the artificial lake, and came to a pavilion.

In the pavilion, a middle-aged man dressed in white sat on the ground, with a complete set of tea sets placed in front of him, boiling hot tea on the charcoal fire, and steaming out.

"The owner, the young master has been brought. ”

The butler bowed, clasped his hands together, and arched his hands, his tone extremely respectful.

"You take Xingchenzi to the side hall for a short rest. ”

The middle-aged man in white didn't look up, his eyes just stared at the tea that had been boiled.

"Yes, owner. ”

The steward received the order, and led the stars away.

"Tu Mo, sit down, when I first saw you, you were still in infancy. When I see you again, it will be twenty years later. ”

The middle-aged man finally raised his head, and there were some traces of time on his ruddy face. The corners of the crooked eyes can see a trace of domineering.

After Tu Mo sat down, the middle-aged man poured half a cup of tea for the teacup in front of Tu Mo, and then spoke. "Have you ever had a grudge against your father?"

Tu Mo sat on the ground, put his left hand holding the sword between his legs, stretched out his right hand to pick up the teacup, and took a sip. Suddenly, a fragrance spread from the tip of the tongue to the mouth, and spread to the internal organs.

"Good tea. ”

Tu Mo put down the teacup, and in his eyes, Jingguang said, and couldn't help but admire.

"There was no resentment. ”

Tu Mo stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his every move seemed to contain an inexplicable aura.

"Tea is good tea, it's just not the right time to drink it. ”

The middle-aged man lifted the teapot, poured a little more tea for Tu Mo, and spoke. "This tea can only be released after boiling. Only when it is hot can you taste the fairy fragrance of this world. ”

"I don't know what the owner means?"

Tu Mo held the teacup with the fingers of his right hand, never picked it up, just put his hand on the teatable, and gently turned the teacup on his fingertips.

"Tu Mo. A pot of tea, three cups of wine. In your opinion, how should you understand this? ”

The middle-aged man smiled and didn't answer Tu Mo, but asked a question and asked Tu Mo rhetorically.

The middle-aged man put down the teapot in his hand, put his hands between his legs, and looked at Tu Mo with a smile.

"The hegemony of imperial power and domination of the world can make the fragrance of tea more perfectly released. Hongchen has three glasses of wine, one for the world, one for the heart, and one for death. ”

Tu Mo picked up the teacup, drank all the tea in the cup, closed his eyes, and carefully experienced the fragrance in the tea, and the mellow, endless aftertaste.

"Good, good, good. ”

The middle-aged man let out three consecutive cheers, and the smile on his face became even worse. "Your understanding, as I thought, is exactly what I think. You must know that if you answer a wrong word, your trip today will be in vain. ”

"Even if I have been old friends with your father for many years, if you don't have the vision to see through the essence of things, I will never risk my life and rush into the troubled waters of Middle-earth. ”

The middle-aged man picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of tea for Tu Mo, then shook his head and sighed. "It's just that you are indifferent, but you don't care about fame and fortune at all. I will enter the world, help you calm the civil strife in Middle-earth, and then follow in your footsteps to rule the world, even if the world is unified, the person who holds the imperial power will not be surnamed Tu, am I right?"

"Not bad. I went back to Middle-earth just for the sake of cause and effect, and I didn't have the heart to hold the hegemony of imperial power. ”

Tu Mo replied, his eyes flowing.

"If you give away the country you have laid down with your own hands, you know whether the people behind you will agree. Will this be the beginning of another war. ”

The smile on the middle-aged man's face has never been reduced, and his tone is very calm. "Do you know what the word "carefree" represents?"

"As long as the world is unified and the endless war ends, the cause and effect of this will have nothing to do with me. I only care about self-cultivation, protecting my Dao heart, and being the idle clouds and wild cranes, and the carefree person. ”

Tu Mo shook his head and said.

"Hahaha......... You only care about cause and effect, you want to be free? It's just that you fall into that cliché, but you don't know it. Should you say you're smart, or are you confused?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile. "In this world, there is cause and effect. This causal relationship involves countless causal cycles, and how can you cut them all off? ”

"What a lie!"
