"Pork buns~"

The shouts rang out one after another, and a red first light appeared in the distant sky.

In Tai'an Mansion at dawn, Liyuan Street is always a little deserted. No matter how many loud shouts. But there weren't many people on the streets. Except for a few stall owners who sold breakfast, there were only a few men left in the prime of life.

These men are very frightening. One of them had a centipede scar all over his face. The scar stretched from his forehead to his right cheek, running through one of his eyes and nose. I can't believe that this man can still survive.

And in the middle of this group of people, there was a little boy who was thirteen or fourteen years old.

A group of people carried big knives and left Liyuan Street with some talking and laughing.

"Daddy, why is there no one on the street?

In the stall where pork buns were just being drunk, a seven or eight-year-old child tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, his eyes flashed with innocence, and asked.

"Today is the day when the entrance of the Optimus Church comes to collect protection money, who dares to go out on the streets? That is, those of us who sell breakfast, dare to go out on the streets with special permission. Hey, it's no use telling you that. Son, you remember. In the future, when you see the people of the Optimus Sect, stay away. ”

The man who sold meat buns looked at several burly figures walking farther and farther away in the distance, and sighed.

......

As if hearing the gossip muttering from the man's mouth, in the crowd that had already walked away, the teenage child suddenly stopped and turned to look at the man selling steamed buns.

A cold look flashed in his eyes. This kind of feeling is absolutely impossible in the eyes of a child of his age.

When the man selling steamed buns saw the little boy turn around, he shivered in fright, and quickly lowered his head and pinched the dough in his hand.

"Mu Cheng, what's wrong?"

Scarface, who was next to the boy, asked when he saw the boy stop, and also stood still.

"Brother Xiong, it's okay. Let's go. ”

The boy known as Mu Cheng shook his head, pursed his mouth, lowered his head and continued walking. Brother Xiong behind him grinned bitterly when he saw the young man leaving.

His male brother is the entrance of this Liyuan Street, and even the sect leader of the Qingtian Sect has to be polite when he sees it. Looking at the young man's appearance, he didn't take him seriously at all. But what can he do? He can't beat this boy.

Helplessly, Brother Xiong greeted the brother behind him and left with the young man's back.

......

After a group of people left, Liyuan Street gradually began to be lively again. People from the past followed. It's as if nothing happened just now.

Qingtian Sect, Liyuan Street Guan Gong Hall.

This Guan Gongtang is the residence of the people of Liyuan Street of the Qingtian Sect. The reason why it is called Guan Gong Hall is because in this hall, there is a statue of Guan Gong standing prominently.

"Li Mucheng, Ah Xiong. Coming back?"

An elderly man sitting next to the statue of Guan Gong saw the crowd of people who walked in one after another, nodded, and said.

"I'm back, Master. ”

"When did your old man come?"

Seeing this old man, Li Mucheng and Ah Xiong spoke at the same time. Li Mucheng's face was calm, while Ah Xiong's face was full of different colors. It was as if he was terribly afraid of the old man.

Li Mucheng is that young man. And this old man is the current leader of the Qingtian Sect - Crane Fangyuan.

"Hmm. He Fangyuan nodded at the two. His eyebrows and eyes are very special, somewhat similar to Guan Gong. On weekdays, he is not angry and self-assured. "Ah Xiong, how much is the protection fee collected this month?"

He Fangyuan took a sip of tea and asked.

Hearing this, Ah Xiong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took off a bag from his waist, put it on the table in front of Crane Fangyuan, and poured out the contents inside. I only heard a loud bang, and what poured out of it turned out to be white silver.

"Sect Master, this is the money collected today, and even the brothers' cousin money has not been deducted, all of them are here. I also asked the Lord to take a look. ”

"Hmm. He Fangyuan nodded, reached out and put the silver back into the bag, and threw it to Ah Xiong. With this simple hand, you can see the strength of Crane Fangyuan. A table of broken silver, if it is an ordinary person to bag it, it will take a long time just to pick up the silver. And this crane Fang Yuan actually put the silver into the bag with a wave of his hand, and the time it took was a blink of an eye.

"Master, this time you're not just here for the silver, right?"

A strange look flashed in Li Mucheng's eyes, and he looked at Crane Fang Yuandao. As soon as he entered the door, Li Mucheng felt that this time He Fangyuan came to Guan Gongtang, which was by no means a trivial matter. He didn't speak just now, and he was secretly observing Crane Fangyuan's expression.

"It's still Mu Cheng smart. Crane Fangyuan smiled, reached out and stroked the goatee hanging down his chin, and said, "This time, I came to inform you that the chief helm of the Qingtian Sect will participate in the competition. I'm also old, and it's time for the next sect leader to be selected. Otherwise, if I die suddenly one day, this Optimus Sect won't be messed up?"

While saying this, He Fangyuan suddenly glared, and everyone looked at him in a cold sweat.

"I see, Master. ”

Li Mucheng said indifferently. It seems that the position of the leader of the Optimus Sect is not attractive to him at all. On the contrary, Ah Xiong on the side, when he heard the word competition, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen some earth-shattering treasure.

As if knowing Ah Xiong's thoughts, He Fangyuan looked at Ah Xiong with a smile and said, "Ah Xiong, you can go with Mu Cheng." When the time comes, do what you can. To be honest, you're a good teacher. ”

"Thank you, Sect Master, thank you!"

At this moment, Crane Fangyuan is like Ah Xiong's reborn parents. Before Crane Fangyuan could react, Ah Xiong fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily.

Looking at Ah Xiong on the ground, a hint of ridicule flashed in Crane Fangyuan's eyes. He took another sip of the tea that had cooled down and stood up, "Okay, I've been notified of the matter." I'll go back to the helm first. Remember. On the fourteenth day of August, Dabi officially began. Don't miss the hour. ”、

Let's say, Crane Fangyuan's footsteps moved slightly, but his body moved forward quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared in Guan Gongtang.

"Mucheng, August 14 is going to be a big competition, and we still have three days to go. Hurry up and get ready. ”

Ah Xiong saw Crane Fangyuan leaving, and hurriedly said to Li Mucheng on the side. Hearing this, Li Mucheng glanced at Ah Xiong with slanted eyes, and said lightly: "Hmm." Brother Xiong, you also have to prepare well, as the entrance of Liyuan Street, don't be compared to the other halls. ”

"Hehe, it's not like I don't know what I'm like. Ah Xiong scratched his head embarrassedly, "As long as there is Mucheng, you will be fine." No matter what, Mu Cheng, you are also our Guan Gong court. It's okay if I lose, don't be ashamed if you don't lose. ”

"Huh. ”

Li Mucheng sneered twice, didn't say anything, turned around and left Guan Gongtang.

Ah Xiong's words, although he seemed to care about Li Mucheng, cheered him on. But in fact, it was extremely insidious, deliberately putting pressure on Li Mucheng. Ah Xiong put down these words, just to clearly say to Li Mucheng, can't you fight? Then don't lose. If you lose, I'll see where your face goes.

......

"Hey, it's all scheming. I, Li Mucheng, have lived for 14 years, but I don't even have a close friend. I don't want to go on like this. August 14 Dabi, hehe, said to be Dabi, in fact, is just a means for you to clean up people. They don't know, but I do. Master, what do you say you are for, in order to make your unsuccessful son the head of the sect?"

In the moonlight, facing the bright starlight, Li Mucheng stood alone on the roof of Guan Gongtang and said to himself. The bleak north wind blew, gradually drying the crystal on his face.

The direction he looked at was the east.

No one knows what kind of things this fourteen-year-old boy is going through.

......

Three days, whether it is fast or not, whether it is slow or not. In the blink of an eye, it was August 13, the day before Dabi.

"Mu Cheng, hurry up and pack your things. We're leaving. If we don't leave, we won't be able to catch up with Dabi. Ah Xiong put his back on his back and waved his hand towards Li Mucheng.

Hearing this, Li Mucheng nodded. "In that case, let's go. I have nothing to pack. Except for a sword, there is no other love. ”

"Look, you're going to eat me and wear me all the way?"

Li Mucheng: "......"

"Just take it from me. ”

Originally, Li Mucheng didn't eat too much, plus he had an old mother who was bedridden and a young sister, so he let him give his mother on weekdays. Keep no one for yourself. Anyway, the food and housing are all from the Qingtian Sect, and you don't have to spend a penny.

......

The green sword is as clear as the emerald green and proud jade. The blood groove on the body of the sword still has some dry blood stains remaining. This is the trace of a murderous sword.

Li Mucheng endured the beating and restless right eyelid, feeling the uneasy emotion in his heart, he patted the sword in his arms. At this time, it seems that only this sword can give him a sense of security.

He knew that this big competition was by no means so simple.

"Let's go, Brother Xiong. ”

Glancing back at Guan Gongtang, Li Mucheng strode and left in the direction of the Qingtian Sect's chief rudder, Qingzhou Tai'an Mansion.

Tai'an Mansion is the fortress of Qingzhou. It is also the most prosperous place in Qingzhou. and places like Liyuan Street, naturally, are incomparable. Moreover, the county yamen of Qingzhou is located here, and there are no less than 100,000 people in the city. The scale is comparable to that of the capital.

The fame of Tai'an Mansion is endlessly related to Mount Tai. Legend has it that the emperor Yingzheng came to Mount Tai here to look for the elixir of immortality, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then. No one knows whether Ying Zheng found the elixir, became an immortal or died. There are even rumors that the gate of the fairy world is above Mount Tai, and if you open the gate, you can fly to become an immortal.

"Jokes. Where did the immortals come from in this vast world?"

Thinking of this, Li Mucheng laughed alone. They had already passed half a day's journey from Liyuan Street, and they were also exhausted. So stop and rest. Ah Xiong, on the other hand, fell asleep against a big tree beside him.

Suddenly, an inexplicable murderous aura descended from the sky, enveloping Li Mucheng in it!

"Not good!"

Feeling this majestic murderous aura like a tide, Li Mucheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and the bones and tendons on his body began to crackle at that moment.

"--The master of the inner boxing?!

After Li Mucheng made this action, behind a big tree more than ten meters away from him, a murmur came.

"Who's the thief?"

Li Mucheng held a sword in one hand and one hand behind his back, standing against the wind. He looked at the big tree ten meters away, his face was like frost, and he didn't waver in the slightest.

"Hehe, who should I be, it turned out to be the famous 'Lionheart' Li Mucheng. I am here today to take Tang Xiong's life. It's none of your business. I know you can tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, and I don't embarrass you. ”

"Do you want to kill Ah Xiong?" have you asked me if I have a sword in my hand?"

Li Mucheng frowned. Ah Xiong is his master's right-hand man under Crane Fangyuan, if Ah Xiong dies, then he may not be able to get out. And the relationship between himself and He Fangyuan is not an ordinary master-apprentice relationship......

"Come on!"

Li Mucheng's eyes turned twice in his sockets, and after a moment, his palm shook suddenly, and the scabbard of the long sword flew out and shot into the big tree behind him, sinking deep into it.

"Good palm power!"

The person on the other side was also quite surprised when he saw Li Mucheng's hand, "I didn't expect that Li Mucheng, the fourteen-year-old lionheart, really has such strength!"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's make a move. ”

Li Mucheng's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the white-clothed young man who slowly walked out on the opposite side.

At this moment, Ah Xiong had been woken up by the chaotic voice. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the Lionheart Sword that was already out of his body in Li Mucheng's hand.

When he saw the symbol of the blood-red sword on the other party's white shirt, Ah Xiong's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and he shook his head incredulously.

In the next second, I saw him suddenly jump high and yell.

"Men of Heaven! Mucheng, run away!"

The new book is uploaded, and I need the support of my brothers and sisters!
