Chapter 207: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots
How many years has it been since Longquan City has been so lively? Maybe this problem is only known to those who are thirty-five years old, and the younger generation of Longquan people don't know how lively Longquan City used to be, and even if they do, they only know it from the stories of the older generation, and they haven't seen it with their own eyes.

But now they have seen how enthusiastic Longquan City can be.
Of course, this enthusiasm was accompanied by endless struggles and fights, including the one that is now taking place in the inn.
"Someone from the Flower Pie?" Mu Xiaojiu looked at the three men in white sitting there with a smile, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but it was a pity that the three men in white did not notice this.
One of the men didn't even look at Mu Xiaojiu, just smiled disdainfully, and then said in a mocking tone: "That's right, we are the people of the Flower Sect, and our master is the evil king Shi Zhixuan, do you have anything to do?" β
"Hey, Shi Zhixuan, it's amazing!" Mu Xiaojiu shouted very exaggeratedly, and then suddenly reached out and probed forward, and the dragon grasping power in the Vertical Crane Dragon Catching Divine Skill suddenly surged out of his palm, directly pulling the man who was too late to guard in the air, and at the same time restrained his acupoint in an instant.
"What's the matter with me? I'm fine, but you might have to do something. β
At the same time that Mu Xiaojiu pulled the man over, the other two disciples of the Flower Sect also stood up and shouted at Mu Xiaojiu with an angry face: "What are you doing, let him go!" β
In the corner of the inn, a man wearing a Taoist robe and a hat looked up, then lowered his head, and said with a sneer: "A bunch of idiots, they don't even know who they have provoked, and they are still so arrogant......"
Mu Xiaojiu glanced at the two Huajian Sect disciples who were looking at him with angry faces, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly punched out.
How fast is Mu Xiaojiu? Before the two men could see Mu Xiaojiu's punch, one of them had already been imprinted on the chest by Mu Xiaojiu's punch, and the whole person flew out upside down and smashed on a table, splashing a piece of soup, and the beautiful white clothes became dirty.
Another disciple of the Flower Sect was furious, picked up the fan and was about to attack Mu Xiaojiu, but Mu Xiaojiu suddenly snapped his fingers, and the energy hit him directly in the heart, causing his whole qi and blood to stagnate, and he fell directly to the ground.
At this time, Mu Xiaojiu looked at the Huajian Sect disciple who was still in his hand, and smiled slightly, but that smile was full of malice no matter how he looked at it.
"It's in the city now, and I don't want to get in trouble, so I'm not going to do it now. I'll give the three of you a cup of tea time to escape, and whether you can survive depends on your creation. Of course, you can also choose to hide in the city and see if I'm afraid of trouble or if I dare not do it. But when the time comes, you may not just die......" Mu Xiaojiu whispered in the ear of the disciple of the Flower Sect, and then let go of his hand and put the man on the ground.
"Now, get out."
This person actually wants to run for his life by himself now, but he remembers it clearly, what Mu Xiaojiu said was "give the three of them a cup of tea", if he really ran away by himself, he was afraid that Mu Xiaojiu would dare to kill him right now - to be honest, he didn't doubt the truth of Mu Xiaojiu's last sentence at all, Mu Xiaojiu didn't dare to kill, he was just afraid of trouble.
So he ran up to the two men of his fellowship, pulled them up from the ground, and ran out of the city as fast as he could.
Mu Xiaojiu looked down, and after making sure that there was no soup splashed on his clothes, he waved his hand lightly, "I said give them a cup of tea, Mu Xuan, you can do it." β
Mu Duan nodded and said, "Yes, Childe", and then turned around and walked out of the inn directly.
The entire inn was silent, and it wasn't until Mu Xiaojiu had already taken the package from Wu Zhen's hand that someone trembled and said, "He, he, he's the drunkard among the three evils!" β
With this humane breaking Mu Xiaojiu's identity, except for the few people in the inn who had already noticed Mu Xiaojiu's identity, everyone else suddenly made an uproar.
Who is the wine boy? The wine boy is the first player in the entire Jianghu martial arts to become famous and obtain the title of Wanshilou; The Drunkard was the champion of the first Battle of the Forbidden City; The wine boy single-handedly led to the destruction of the Tianxiahui and the serious injury of Dayuan......
Even in the eyes of some people, Mu Xiaojiu is already the number one player, although Mu Xiaojiu doesn't think so.
There are many powerful people in this world, and there will be no one who is at the same level as himself, and there may even be people who are even more advanced than him, Mu Xiaojiu knows this. It's just that those people are not as famous as He Mu Xiaojiu, so no one knows about them, so players think that he is the first player.
Taking the package from Wuzhen's hand, Mu Xiaojiu didn't care about those people, and walked directly to the counter, "Shopkeeper, is there a room now?" β
"Yes, yes, yes" Although the shopkeeper is not from the rivers and lakes, but his shop has stopped here every day from the south to the north, and Bai Xiaosheng has lectured here with him, and he still knows who the wine boy is. At this time, Mu Xiaojiu came over, and the shopkeeper's words were not good.
Of course, he didn't lie, there were indeed no guest rooms before, but Mu Xiaojiu beat the three people away, but he did vacate two guest rooms - two of the three people lived in one.
"It's just that this guest officer, the small shop only has two rooms now, I don't know ......"
"That's enough." Mu Xiaojiu smiled kindly, "There are four of us, and two rooms can accommodate us." With that, Mu Xiaojiu took out a few pieces of silver from the package, put it on the counter, and then walked upstairs, saying as he walked: "This money, in addition to the money for the house and food, the rest will be used to repair the smashed utensils." Help us prepare some food and drinks, and if the money is not enough, you will tell me again. β
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the money, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was no longer so afraid, but responded busily: "Eh, thank you, thank you, oh no, thank you, the little one must serve you, just say what you want." β
Mu Xiaojiu didn't pay attention to him, but followed Xiao Er upstairs with Shui Sen and Wu Zhen.
"Little Er, do you usually have Bai Xiaosheng in your family to come and talk about books?" Mu Xiaojiu asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.
The little two smiled flatteringly, "Yes, yes, but not every day, that Bai Xiaosheng will come to our store on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday every week, and he will go to another store for the other three days." β
Mu Xiaojiu counted the days for a while, and then nodded, "That's right, today is May 23, it's Thursday, and tomorrow is Friday." Xiao Er, then please come up and call me tomorrow when Bai Xiaosheng comes to talk. β
"Okay, guest officer! I will definitely come up and call you when the time comes! Looking at the broken silver handed over by Mu Xiaojiu, Xiao Er's mouth opened with a smile all of a sudden.
After entering the room, Xiao Er went down to prepare the wine and food, Mu Xiaojiu, Shui Sen, and Wu Zhen sat in the room, and as soon as they sat down, Wu Zhen pursed his lips and asked, "Brother Mu, do you really want Uncle Mu to kill those three people?" β
Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "Wu Zhen, since you came out with me to practice, then I will teach you this first lesson today - when you step into the rivers and lakes, you must be decisive when you start, you can't leave room for cutting grass, you have to remove the roots, otherwise the spring breeze will blow and grow again." β
There was a hesitant look on Wuzhen's face, "However, Master Bo told me that you must be forgiving, merciful, and know etiquette and righteousness." β
Mu Xiaojiu smiled, and then said, "What your master said is true, but this doesn't apply to everything. It's true that people want to forgive, but it doesn't mean that everyone can forgive, if you forgive a murderer, then who is responsible for the murderer who has killed? Some people can forgive for two reasons: first, because they didn't do anything terrible, and because they repented and were forgiven by others. But there are some people who have committed sins that cannot be paid in any way. β
Wu Zhen nodded as if he didn't understand, but he still didn't understand it a little, but Mu Xiaojiu also knew that Wu Zhen had been a naΓ―ve child since he was a child, and even now he still retains that innocent heart, these concepts are a little different from the education he has been receiving, so he will definitely not be able to digest them for a while.
"Why do you say cut the grass and eradicate the roots? Because there is no right or wrong in the rivers and lakes, since you have chosen to step into this rivers and lakes, then everything you have may become the reason why others kill you, and if you have an unintentional eye in the eyes of others, some people will feel that you are despising him. You have treasures, and someone will kill you; You have martial arts secrets, and someone will kill you; Thou hast the edge of thy sword, and someone will kill thee; Even if you're weak, someone will kill you. The rivers and lakes are different from Wudang Mountain, the rivers and lakes are a world where individuals eat people, weakness is the original sin, if you are weak, someone will come to kill you. β
Wuzhen said ignorantly: "Wouldn't it be better to become stronger?" β
Shui Sen took a sentence a little helplessly: "Wuzhen, you are too naΓ―ve, become stronger?" How strong do you want to become? What should you do if someone else poisons you? What should you do if someone else uses drugs? What should I do if someone is besieging you? What should you do if someone else sets a trap? There are always various ways to kill you, and even if you hide in the mountains, someone may find you. If you want to be completely no one can kill you, even if you become the number one in the world, it is useless, the only way is to kill yourself. β
"So what does this have to do with cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?" Wu Zhen still doesn't understand.
Mu Xiaojiu patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, first, is to put an end to future troubles, so that people can't do everything they can to get revenge on you; The second is to deter others so that others dare not covet you. You will slowly understand these things, think about your dead Fifth Uncle......"
