Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Old King Xie Tang Qianyan (1)
"You mean something happened to Lin Hao?" Mu Shengbai didn't have time to think deeply about the man's next series of words, and was shocked by the information revealed in his previous words, and his heart was sour.
"Master, he's dead." The man's voice was low, and Mu Shengbai could clearly hear the desperation and determination in it.
"So you're ...... on this trip"
"Follow the master!" The man paused word by word, and every word seemed to weigh a thousand gold.
"Take care!" Mu Shengbai didn't say anything to keep him, and he always felt that these words would defile him.
The man stood up, said nothing, opened the door and disappeared into the night. Mu Shengbai looked at the boundless night, and always felt as if he was caught in some whirlpool, knowing that the cold wind was invading, he came back to his senses, closed the door, and read.
This night, Mu Shengbai's room was bright all night, and the young man's upright figure was reflected on the wall.
A rooster crow tore open the night, the sky was bright, Mu Shengbai had something in his heart and couldn't sleep, so he lit the lamp and read the book all night.
When he heard the rooster's crow, he put down the book in his hand, stood up and stretched, rubbed his sour eyes, and was about to go out to practice swords with the sword hanging on the wall.
As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into a person, Qi Huan staggered a few steps to stabilize his body, looked up at Mu Shengbai, and looked at him worriedly, "Young Master Shengbai, what did you worry about last night?" ”
Presumably, Qi Huan saw the dark circle around his eyes and knew that he had not slept all night last night.
"It's okay, why are you in such a hurry? But what's going on out there? Mu Shengbai didn't want to talk to others about yesterday's events, so he just passed by casually, and he was more concerned about why Qi Huan was in such a hurry.
"It's such a young owner, then Siyin City is open!" Qi Huan's face was full of excitement, as if a child had seen something he liked.
Mu Shengbai thought for a while, making sure that he had not heard of this place.
Qi Huan saw the confusion on his face, and hurriedly explained: "Master Shengbai Shaozhuang, you haven't been in Jinling City for a long time, and you must have never heard anyone mention this Siyin City. In fact, Siyin City is only an hour's walk away from our Jinling City, but because it is an empty city, no one mentions it. ”
"Empty city?" Mu Shengbai was also interested, looked at Qi Huan with great interest, and asked, "Why is it an empty city?" ”
"I don't know about this little one." Qi Huan touched his head in annoyance, and then said: "When the little one was sent to Jinling City, Siyin City was an empty city, and just now the little one went to the street to buy vegetables and heard the news of the opening of Siyin City, thinking that you might want to know, didn't you rush over to tell you." ”
Mu Shengbai was really interested as he said, and he didn't practice his sword anymore, so he ran to the back yard to find Mu Shengyun.
The light in Mu Shengyun's room was also on, he knocked on the door for a while but no one was seen, and only opened the door with a light push.
"Senior brother?" Mu Shengbai probed in, but there was no one inside.
Senior brother shouldn't go to sword practice?
Senior Brother Shengyun was the most diligent when he was in the villa, except for going out to deal with the task assigned by the master all day long, which was to go to the martial arts training ground to practice swords, and the master always used this to inspire him to learn from Senior Brother Shengyun.
In order to satisfy his curiosity, he immediately decided to give up practicing swords, Mu Shengbai's face was hot, he hurriedly closed the door, went back to his room to take down the sword, and took it to the bamboo forest where he went to practice swords on weekdays.
Between a piece of green bamboo, a figure is like a swimming dragon, dancing in it with ease.
Mu Shengbai didn't want to disturb him, so he found another corner and began to contact the swordsmanship.
Sweat gradually soaked his clothes, but the young man didn't know that he was tired, every move was like a flowing dragon, sharp and changeable, after the dance, Mu Shengbai withdrew the sword from the scabbard, stood in place and closed his eyes to feel the breeze passing by.
The sword frowned, picked up the scabbard and blocked it on his waist, his starry eyes were open, there was no confusion in it, and he was full of energy.
"It's good to be white." Mu Shengyun withdrew his sword, showed an appreciative smile, looking at the young man's upright posture, how satisfied he looked, he was such an excellent junior disciple didn't know how good a woman could stand with him.
"Senior brother admitted." Mu Shengbai smiled modestly, leaving a faint white spot on the hilt of the sword, which was exactly where Mu Shengyun stabbed just now.
"I saw the light in your room still on very late yesterday, I thought you would not be able to get up today, but I didn't expect it to be so early, you used to be able to lie in bed for as long as you wanted, and now you have grown a lot." Mu Shengyun's eyes showed the color of memory, he had too many memories of this young man, so much so that all the scenes of laughter in the past had his lively shadow.
Mu Shengbai smiled, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, "Senior Brother Shengyun is earlier." ”
He didn't dare to tell Senior Brother Shengyun about the idea that he was thinking about giving up sword practice this morning and going directly to Siyin City.
The two went back to Lanwu Pavilion first for breakfast, and Mu Shengbai told Mu Shengyun about Siyin City, he also expressed curiosity, and the two immediately decided to ride to Siyin City to find out.
Arrange the affairs of Lan Wu Pavilion to Qi Huan to deal with, and the two of them each rode a batch of fast horses, and arrived at Siyin City in less than half an hour.
Although there were people at the city gate, the city wall was already very dilapidated, and Mu Shengbai was confident that he could destroy it with just one sword.
The two blended into the flow of people into the city, and they only felt that the people passing by each had some strength, and some of them were still rare masters, presumably not ordinary people.
Mu Shengbai and Mu Shengyun glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes, if it was just an ordinary town open, how could it be full of people with martial arts and almost no ordinary people, this city has secrets.
The two of them walked out into the street, separated from each other, and carefully discerned useful information from the cacophony of voices in their ears.
After half the incense, Mu Shengbai went to the corner of an alley to gather with Mu Shengyun, and the two of them heard the information from each other, and they had a general understanding of the situation here.
It turned out that Siyin City was not an empty city, it was previously under the jurisdiction of a force, but that force and the people in the city died inexplicably, and the purpose of these rivers and lakes gathered here was to find the treasures left by the city lord.
After all, the life savings of the lord of a city can still make people desperate.
"Senior Brother Shengyun, are we going to stay?" Mu Shengbai frowned, feeling that this city was very strange, and the people of a city died like this.
Besides, they are not short of money, and coveting the property of the dead is really not the work of a gentleman, if Mu Changfeng knows about it, he will be angry.
"Let's go, this place is not suitable for long." Mu Shengyun made a decision immediately.
The two quickly left Siyin City, and as soon as they returned to Lanwu Pavilion, they saw a few children standing at the door with their necks stretched and waiting anxiously, Mu Shengbai got off the horse, and Niuniu and a few children rushed over and surrounded him.
