Next Chapter

At midnight, the sky was cloudy, accompanied by thunder, and it was raining heavily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

On the road outside the city, a horse-drawn carriage was moving rapidly on the muddy road, and despite the bumps, the coachman kept waving his whip to get the carriage into the city before dawn.

"Sit down, don't fall!" shouted the coachman, turning his head into the car.

There was no response from the car. The coachman did not ask any more, but increased his efforts to urge the horses with his whip.

The coachman's costume is also very strange, dressed in black, with a mask on his face, a yellow face painted on the mask, blue eyes slightly drooping, and the corners of his bright red mouth are exaggerated upward, which is very weird.

As the rain began to lighten, the carriage came to the foot of the city wall, and along the wall, the coachman drove the carriage to the east gate and stopped.

It was still early, and the gates had not yet been opened. The coachman did not get out of the car, but struck the city gate with his whip vigorously.

First of all,

Two more times,

Again.

After a while, the gate opened a little with the creak of the wooden shaft, and a head poked out of the crack in the door, and when he saw the coachman wearing a yellow mask on the carriage, he retracted his head again.

Then the city gate was slowly opened, and a thin city defender came out from inside, and said to the coachman with a smile: "Uncle, no one, please come in~"

The coachman did not look at him, but drove his carriage toward the city.

Turning left and right, the carriage came from the main road to a back street, and stopped in front of a door with a broken door attached to it.

This is the back door of an inn, at the edge of the city, there will be a lot of people in the rivers and lakes to live here, it is said that the boss used to be also in the rivers and lakes, after exiting the rivers and lakes, he concentrated on doing the inn business, strange people often see, has long been strange.

The carriage stopped, and the coachman tapped the carriage with the end of his whip, "It's here." ā€

I saw a man in a hooded black cloak get out of the car, staggering open the wooden door, and the carriage disappeared into the rain in the blink of an eye.

The man in the black cloak walked through the corridor in the backyard and up the stairs with a handrail to the second floor and into the innermost room.

As soon as he entered the door, this person took off his black coat and hat, and it turned out to be a young man, with a cold and hard face carved out like a knife, although he hung his head and looked a little prostration, but he could still feel the heroic aura emanating from his eyebrows.

The man took off his cloak and was surprised that the man was naked, his strong body was exposed, and there were several scars on his back and arms, one of which was still red, as if he had just been left, and it was obvious that he had just experienced an unusually ferocious fight before this. He didn't care about the wound, dragged his tired body to the edge of the bed, and fell asleep.

The man who slept was named Shiraki, in his twenties, who was born in the midst of war, and his parents had to flee to relatives in order to escape the war and live in a small mountain village. Since Bai Mu's parents are both martial arts practitioners, Bai Mu was taught martial arts by his parents since he was a child, and Bai Mu was very smart since he was a child, and soon practiced all the kung fu taught by his parents

Bai Mu's parents saw that it was a martial arts material, and they had no more things to give to Bai Mu, but fortunately, they were in a martial arts family, so they sent Bai Mu to a relative's house to practice martial arts, and in this way, Bai Mu learned kung fu from a young age.

Until a few years ago, there was a plague in Baimu's hometown, which killed most of the people and cattle and livestock, and then there was a famine, and all the people in the village had to go out to flee the famine, and many people died on the way to escape the famine, some died of weakness and starvation, some died of illness, and some of them died but filled the stomachs of their companions. Shiraki's parents died on the way to escape due to their old age and illness.

In the end, there were only a dozen people left in the hundreds of people fleeing the famine, and even though Shiraki was physically strong and had advanced martial arts, he could not endure the weakness and exhaustion caused by hunger.

Just as he was surviving, a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a red mask rode by.

The mysterious man confronted a dozen yellow-skinned and emaciated desert escapees at the time, and told them that they could give them food and water, and they could also take them out of the famine, but only one person, the last of them...

More than a dozen extremely weak people heard this, as if they were full of energy for a moment, and the companions who fled the famine together became enemies at this moment, first striking to be strong and then suffering, picking up the crutches made of wooden sticks in their hands, and the stones under their feet smashed hard into the heads of the people next to them, attracting attackers, and for a while the dust was flying and screaming continuously.

When the dust settled, more than a dozen people collapsed to the ground, and the mysterious man urged the horse to step over the corpse, at this time, Bai Mu tried his last strength to prop himself up and sit in front of the horse's hooves.

Of course, the mysterious man gave Shiraki food and water as promised, and told Shiraki to follow him in the future. After eating the food, the mysterious man rode his horse and took Shiraki out of the desert, leaving behind a dozen poor corpses.

"Don't come here! It's not me!"

Bai Mu, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up, full of big men.

Looking out the window, although the rain had stopped, it was almost noon, but the sky was still overcast.

Wiping the sweat on his head, Bai Mu felt very hungry, so he put on his clothes and came to the lobby of the inn, it happened to be a meal, and it was gloomy outside, and many people came to the inn, so Bai Mu had to find a table with few people to sit down and order a meal to eat.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous sound, Bai Mu stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and it was raining outside again.

Bai Mu couldn't help but think of the dream just now, so many people asked him for his life.

Recalling the dozen or so people on the road to escape from the wilderness at that time, some of them were childhood playmates, and they killed each other for a bite to eat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The most important thing is that the errand given to him by the mysterious man is actually some unsightly deeds, although Bai Mu is extremely reluctant, but he has no choice but to be controlled by others, and who the other party is Bai Mu does not know in his heart.

Since the mysterious man in the red mask brought Shiraki into the city, he has been placed in this inn, and since then he has always been the man in the yellow mask who has been answering him, and the owner of the inn doesn't care what kind of person Shiraki is, nor does he ask Shiraki for room money and meals, so it can be said that food and accommodation are free.

Bai Mu thought that the innkeeper knew some inside stories at first, but after questioning, he learned that the mysterious man gave the boss a lot of silver, and the boss naturally knew the rules of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't care about the mysterious person and Bai Mu, so he naturally didn't know anything.

Now Bai Mu, who has no worries about food and clothing, also wants to find out who the mysterious person assigned to him on an errand is sacred, and vaguely feels that the person is here with his hands and eyes.

"Hey, this old man, are you alone?" a middle-aged man with a bearded face sitting across the table interrupted Bai Mu's thoughts, "Seeing that you are eating in a daze, are you thinking about the ghost hunting conference?"

"How do you know this, senior?" Hakuki didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, sounding like confirming the middle-aged man's question.

"Hi ~ What seniors are not seniors, just call Brother Hu, his real name is Hu Dahan, haha. After listening to Bai Mu's words, Hu Dahan was happy in his heart, took a big sip of wine, and said in a rough voice: "Aren't all the people in the rivers and lakes busy with this for a while~"

"Yes, the people in the rivers and lakes who have been on the road in the wild recently have died on the road nine times out of ten, and the death is miserable, and it is rumored that there are evil ghosts at work. An elder with a gray beard stroked his three-inch-long beard, "The rivers and lakes all pay attention to a rule, the old man has walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has never seen such a thing!" said and hammered the table with his fist, sighing.

"Rules, whoever is good now is the rule!" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over, shaking the rain from his body with both hands, and looked similar to the old man. "If you don't rob property, but only seek your life, you seek revenge. It's time for the Ghost Hunt Conference in case you need it. As he spoke, he handed a burden to the old man.

"Catch a ghost, phew, catch him a big-headed ghost, the dead man has a knife wound and an arrow wound, this is clearly his mother's work. Hu Dahan drank the rest of the wine and asked Bai Mu, "Little brother, I haven't had time to ask your name?"

"In Xia Baimu, I am fortunate to meet such a bold person as Brother Hu, fortunately!" Bai Mu did not hide his name, anyway, no one knew him, what is the difference between his real name and fake name.

"Haha, fortunately!, they are all brothers, I and these two brothers also know each other halfway, we are all people in the rivers and lakes, we should unite for this matter!" Hu Dahan said what happened.

It turned out that Hu Dahan was the head of the martial arts training sect on a mountain not far from here, and several of his apprentices were brutally killed while on the road, and Hu Dahan was bent on avenging his apprentices.

The two people next to him were mercenaries, the older one was called Sun Wan, everyone called him Lao Sun, and the prime man was called Shi Kai, and they were all involved in the tragic killing of their companions on the way to the dart.

Most of the people in the rivers and lakes have a skill, relying on this ability to build gangs, some of them stand for territory with their own industries, and some form mercenaries to earn money by killing or darts for others...

In short, the people in the rivers and lakes are not easy to mess with, but some people kill the most difficult people in the rivers and lakes without money, which naturally arouses everyone's dissatisfaction.

Among them, the most heavy losses are the famous big gang in the south of the city, the Skyhawk Gang, half of the Skyhawk Gang's industry has been stagnant because of this incident, so the leader of the Skyhawk Gang, Ying Tianshun, summoned the world's heroes and heroes, gathered in the Skyhawk Gang tonight, and discussed the matter together, because I don't know who is doing the blame, so it is called the "Ghost Hunting Conference".

Bai Mu knew very well in his heart at this time that the ghost of the "Ghost Hunting Conference" was probably related to himself.

Although I don't usually go out and walk around, I live in this inn, and the people who come and go are all people from the rivers and lakes, so I naturally have an understanding of what is happening in the rivers and lakes. Even if the mysterious man never said why for Bai Mu's errand, but combined with the dynamics of the rivers and lakes, he guessed in his heart.

"Brother Bai, seeing that you are alone, why don't you go with us to see this ghost hunting conference!" Hu Dahan was full of wine and food, and pursed his lips with his hand and said.

Bai Mu thought about it, after finishing the matter last night, he would not have any more errands in the next few days, and he also wanted to find out who he was doing, this ghost hunting conference might be able to provide clues, and it was convenient to follow these people to have an identity, so he agreed to come down and go to the Sky Eagle Gang to participate in the "ghost hunting conference" in the evening.
