In the night, Zhang Mu and Lin Han leaned on the pillars and looked at the deserted streets, which were very lonely.
"Brother Makiko, are we just going to sit here like this?"
Zhang Mu tilted his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Han, look at this village. It's not big, but it really doesn't get much smaller when it gets bigger. When will it get bigger?"
"Then can we just wait here?"
Zhang Mu said: "What is supposed to come will always come, and what is not supposed to come will never be found."
Lin Han nodded after hearing this, not knowing whether he really understood or pretended to understand. Anyway, he thought what Zhang Mu said was right.
Not long after, I saw a dark shadow slowly walking out of the dark path, looking around suspiciously as it walked.
Lin Han whispered: "Brother Muzi, look over there!"
Zhang Mu turned his head after hearing this, frowned when looking at the black shadow, and murmured to himself: "This can't be an evil cultivator, why is there no internal energy fluctuation at all?"
"Brother Muzi, do you want to go up and catch him?" As he said that, he was about to pull out the Black Iron Sword and stand up.
When Zhang Mu saw it, he grabbed Lin Han and whispered: "Don't act rashly, I don't see it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two people slowly walking out, and happened to meet the black shadow opposite.
Zhang Mu looked at it and said with a smile: "Ha... didn't someone help us catch him?"
Lin Han said: "Brother Muzi, do you think Brother Li can do it?"
That's right, the two people who came out were Liu Li and Sun Xiao. It was either bad luck or good luck for them.
Liu Li and Black Shadow shouted at the same time: "Who...?"
"You are an evil cultivator. Sun Xiao, enter." As he said this, he saw Liu Li folding the fan, and an internal force condensed on the folding fan and hit the black shadow rapidly.
Sun Xiao was not idle either. He flipped his hands, spun the two short blades in a circle very skillfully, and rushed forward like a shooting star.
The black shadow raised his hands and shouted: "Ah, no."
After hearing this, Zhang Mu quickly stood up and shouted: "Liu Lisun, please stop, this is not an evil cultivator." With that, he rushed over with Lin Han.
Liu Li shouted softly after hearing Zhang Mu's words, and saw the folding fan suddenly closed, and two "Oh" sounds came out.
"Muzi, why don't you tell me if you stay here? My waist." Liu Li and Sun Xiao covered their waists with painful expressions on their faces.
Zhang Mu joked: "I was kicked in the waist by youth! Haha..." Then he waved his hand awkwardly, turned to look at the black shadow, and then saw the black shadow clearly. He looked very ordinary, wearing this
The black commoner was no wonder he was regarded as an evil cultivator.
"If you don't sleep at night, what are you doing out here?"
The man said incoherently: "Ah, I, I'm going out for a walk."
Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Walking, who would believe it this late at night?"
"Hey... I know you, you are the immortal masters invited by the village chief."
Zhang Mu said: "Oh, so you are also a villager in Liujia Village?"
"Yes, yes. If Master Xian is fine, I will go back." After saying that, he was about to pass through Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu stretched out his hand to grab the man's clothes and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, no matter what you do here, you are unlucky to follow me today."
This person waved his hands repeatedly and said in panic: "Ah, Immortal Master, I, I didn't do anything."
"You can't tell me tonight. I'll ask the village chief tomorrow..." Before Zhang Mu could finish speaking, he saw a figure rushing past on the roof, carrying a white cloth bag with him.
"Damn, I've fallen into a trap. Liu Li, keep an eye on him, I'll go after him." After saying that, Zhang Mu chased him out with his feet on the ground.
After hearing this, Liu Li looked at Sun Xiaodao: "You watch him and don't let him go. Xiao Han, you stay here and I'll help Muzi." With that, he rushed out quickly.
After chasing him for a long time, he saw a black shadow jumping off the house with a cloth bag, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Mu cursed angrily: "I rely on your sister, what are you doing?"
After saying that, Liu Li also caught up and said breathlessly: "You, why didn't you chase me? Um, where did that black shadow go?"
Zhang Mu shrugged and spread his hands: "I jumped from the roof to the other side. What can I do?"
Just when the two were at their wits' end, Sun Xiao and the villagers chased after them.
"How did you come."
Sun Xiaodao: "I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Liu Li rubbed his waist and said angrily: "What can happen? Oops..."
"Where did the figure go?"
Zhang Mu pointed upward and said, "I jumped over you. I can't fly, so how can I chase you?"
Before anyone else could speak, the villager shouted as if he was taking credit: "Master Immortal, I know the way."
Zhang Mu shouted: "What are you talking about? If you know it, say it as soon as possible."
When the villagers heard this, they fainted and said in a respectful voice: "Master Immortal, the opposite side of this house is Sixiu Street. If he really jumps over, he won't be able to get out for a while."
As soon as Zhang Mu heard the secret call, he immediately shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me the way."
The villager dug into his pocket, heard the sound of iron objects banging, and then took out a bunch of keys.
Zhang Mu asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
The villager said embarrassedly: "That, that..."
Zhang Mu also became anxious and kicked him out. The villagers sat on the ground with an "ouch!"
Then, he pointed at the villager and said, "Are you going to pick the lock?"
Finally, after the villagers pried open the lock very skillfully, Zhang Mu rushed in without caring much, and shouted before leaving: "Watch this boy, damn, feelings are a thief."
After rushing in, Zhang Mu walked out of the courtyard in circles. He immediately heard the sound of fighting coming from outside, and couldn't help but feel happy.
"who?"
When Zhang Mu secretly yelled, he laughed, because Liu Li had already hurried over.
"Liu Li, take care of yourself." After saying that, he climbed up the wall several meters high with more strength. He looked back at Liu Li who was being caught, shook his head and jumped down.
As soon as I came down, I saw two people fighting together not far in front. There was a white cloth bag next to them. It was obvious that they were the figures just now.
"Brother Ku, I'm here!" He said, pulling out the Black Iron Sword and rushing over.
Ku Xiu laughed while fighting: "Haha...Brother Zhang came at the right time. This is why Xie Xiu was hit by me."
I saw Xie Xiu's figure move, his palms suddenly turned into claws, and he quickly grabbed Ku Xiu's heart.
"Ah..." Ku Xiu couldn't help shouting, and narrowly dodged past with a pinch of his feet.
Zhang Mu also arrived at this time, his inner energy quickly gathered on his arms, and he shouted angrily at the evil cultivator: "Die!"
After the evil cultivator caught the opportunity, he heard the sound of breaking wind coming from behind. He knew without thinking that someone was taking action. His legs were bent like a rabbit and he jumped dozens of meters in an instant.
Zhang Mu slashed the air with his sword. Since this sword used most of his internal energy, there was not much internal energy left in his body at this time.
Suddenly seeing Xie Xiu jumping so far, Zhang Mu couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, this can't be a rabbit spirit!"
After the evil cultivator stood firm, he shouted without looking back: "I don't care who you are, we will settle the accounts one by one in the future." After saying that, he rushed forward quickly.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with him, Zhang Mu thought that the evil cultivator would just run away. But just when he was about to go back and see what was in the bag, he heard a cry of pain.
"If something happens, Brother Ku, please take a look at what's in the bag. I'll go over and have a look." With that said, he picked up his sword and rushed out.
Shan said that after Zhang Mu rushed over, he heard Sun Xiao yelling angrily: "I told you to run, I told you to run, you almost hit me to death."
Hearing Sun Xiaozheng's voice, Zhang Mu turned around and saw a person lying on the ground. Sun Xiaozheng was kicking him. Lin Han next to him covered his eyes and did not dare to look.
"Sun Xiao, what's wrong?"
After seeing that the person coming was Zhang Mu, Sun Xiao said angrily: "After you rushed in, this guy said there was still a way, so he brought me and Xiao Han here, but who knew he had just turned around." Pointing to the people on the ground.
"He just ran into it."
Zhang Mu asked in confusion: "Then he was killed by you?"
Sun Xiaoyi heard the curse and said: "He deserves it. He hit me with a knife. Isn't this an old man who hangs himself because he doesn't want to live too long?"
Only then did Zhang Mu realize that the evil cultivator was running away and turning a corner without paying attention. He accidentally bumped into the short blade in Sun Xiao's hand and wiped his neck. What do you think this is if it's not bad luck?
Zhang Mu bent down and checked the evil cultivator's breath. When he saw that he was not breathing, he stretched out his hand and wiped his nose and said, "Okay, Sun Xiao, you have done a great job. This is the evil cultivator."
Sun Xiao couldn't believe it and said, "Evil cultivator? That's it?" He gestured with his hand, "You'll die with one knife?"
Zhang Mu knocked on his forehead and said helplessly: "Don't be complacent, it's just you who were too hasty. If I really fight you, you will die within three moves."
Then, he turned around and said with his hands behind his back: "Whoever kills is the one who carries it, Xiao Han, let's go with the lock picker."
After hearing this, Xiao Han grabbed the lock picker and left. Sun Xiao looked at Zhang Mu and the evil cultivator on the ground, and couldn't help shouting: "What is this?!"
When they returned to the yard where they jumped over the wall, they saw a dozen servants surrounding Liu Li, beating each other hard with sticks in their hands. Fortunately, Zhang Mu explained the matter in time, and then he apologized to Liu Li with great regret.
.
The next day, I met with the village chief and told the story. Each of them was given twenty gold leaves and the group dispersed.
As for the lock-picking thief, he was a habitual thief who usually committed petty thefts. Everyone in the village knew that, so they didn't report him. But they never expected that he could not help but have sexual thoughts last night and wanted to pretend to be an evil cultivator to arrest a woman.
It is truly an unforgivable crime.
Because he indirectly helped Zhang Mu and others, he was given a lighter sentence and was sent to prison for three years of reform.
The person who was rescued was a beautiful woman. She thanked Zhang Mu and others so much that Zhang Mu felt embarrassed.
Finally, someone found a leaf on the evil cultivator and shouted that this leaf can only be found on Deadwood Mountain.
Just like that, under the village chief's repeated requests, Zhang Mu and the four of them went there, and Ku Xiuzai took the gold leaves and left.
In a cave in Dead Wood Mountain, a pile of bones was found which was very eerie, showing that the captured women did not end well.
After leaving Liujiacun, Zhang and Mu returned on their horses. Five days later, they arrived at the boundary of Qingfeng Valley on time.
After coming back, he handed over the body of the evil cultivator and received five hundred gold leaves. He then gave one hundred gold leaves to Su Liu, which could be regarded as laying a foundation for the future. After all, he would be troubled in the future.
In the end, each of the four people got one hundred and twenty gold leaves, which was quite a harvest. The next step was to buy herbs for cultivation.
