Mu Xingqiu was crossing the river with a lot of worry, and was stopped inexplicably, turned around to look, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, wrapped in a thick leather jacket, carrying an oil lamp that was obviously a Taoist magic weapon in his right hand, staring at him viciously.

"Are you Zuo Liuying?" the young man put the oil lamp on the snow, untied the burden on his back, and threw it on the ground, then reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife that peeked out of his leather jacket.

This person appeared more abruptly than the Taoist patriarch, although the oil lamp was a magic weapon, it was not used as it should be, it was purely used for lighting, seeing that Mu Xingqiu was silent, the young man slowly pulled out the short knife on his waist, it was a good knife, and a series of talisman patterns were engraved on both sides of the blade, but the mana had been exhausted, and only the decorative effect remained.

On the snow behind the young man, deep footprints led to the invisible distance, and he really walked step by step in the river.

"I'm not. Mu Xingqiu shook his head, he was about to leave, the young man was an ordinary mortal, maybe he was too ignorant, maybe he was mentally incomplete, so he would come to Broken Flow City to challenge Zuo Liuying, Mu Xingqiu didn't want to get involved.

The young man was a little disappointed, his sword blade hung down, and he pointed to the frozen city in the darkness, "Isn't this the Broken Flow City?"

"Yes. Mu Xingqiu said as he walked.

The young man looked at the oil lamp and the burden on the ground, and picked up the knife to catch up, "Wait." ”

Mu Xingqiu stopped and turned around, and said patiently: "This is Broken Flow City, I'm not Zuo Liuying, and he is not here, you want to compete with him, come back in a few months." ”

"Who are you?" said the young man's tone.

"It's not about you. Mu Xingqiu turned around and was about to leave again.

The young man quickened his pace and ran up, blocking in front of Mu Xingqiu, with a horizontal knife in his hand, "I heard that Zuo Liuying is an old monster, hundreds of years old, but he looks like a teenager, he knows spells, and he is not afraid of the cold in winter." Summer isn't afraid of the heat – you're pretty much like that. ”

It was the deep winter season, the river was frozen, Mu Xingqiu was still wearing single clothes, and the cloth shoes on his feet had a few cracks, which was indeed a little strange.

Mu Xingqiu said coldly: "If I am Zuo Liuying, I can kill you without moving a finger, why hide my identity?"

"yes, why are you hiding your identity? I asked you who you were, but you didn't. Everyone said that Zuo Liuying was very powerful, and I don't believe it. Even if he really has three heads and six arms, I am not afraid, it is a big deal to die, and the revenge that should be avenged will always be avenged. ”

This person is not only ignorant, but also very arrogant, Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but snort, he didn't even use the talisman and mana, as soon as he raised his foot, the person had already passed by the young man. The young man couldn't even keep up with his gaze, let alone the knife in his hand, his legs suddenly went weak for some reason, and he almost fell to the ground.

Mu Xingqiu strode forward. When he was in Jiangnan, he had seen similar delusions: because of their scattered residences, they had never seen real Taoist priests, and they were skeptical of rumors. Thinking that the Five Elements Tribulation more than two years ago was a natural disaster, Kun Chao did not exist at all.

Most of the delusional people turn a deaf ear to danger and will never leave their homeland for half a step. This young man knows that Zuo Liuying and Broken Flow City can still come step by step, and he can be regarded as a fool among fools.

Mu Xingqiu walked out of a distance, turned around and glanced at it again, the young man probably believed that he was indeed not Zuo Liuying, picked up the burden and oil lamp on the ground, and was walking towards the Broken Flow City on the west bank, he had no mana, it was difficult to walk in the thick ice and snow, and he walked as slowly as a snail in just over a mile.

Mu Xingqiu suddenly had a feeling in his heart: he and the young man were both fools, the young man was carrying a knife to challenge Zuo Liuying, how could his strength not be so small in front of Kun Zhen?

The young man was walking with his head down in the wind, and suddenly found that someone was blocking the road a few steps ahead, he was taken aback, threw away the oil lamp and baggage, and drew his sword again, "I knew that you were Zuo Liuying, and you dared to compete with me when you found a weapon?"

"My name is Mu Xingqiu, I want to ask you what enmity you have with Zuo Liuying?"

The young man's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime, "You...... Are you Mu Xingqiu?"

"Do you recognize me?" Mu Xingqiu was also surprised, this young man seemed to be an ignorant person from a remote mountain village, but he just knew the names of Zuo Liuying, Duan Liu, and Mu Xingqiu.

The young man shook his head, "I don't recognize you, but I've just heard of the name 'Mu Xingqiu'—impossible, it must be the same name, but you are really not Zuo Liuying?"

"I have my own name, why impersonate him?"

The young man seemed to believe it or not, but he still put away his single knife, "What a coincidence, my surname is Mu, envious Mu, just like you, right?" My name is Mu Lie, it's ridiculous to say, our Mu family has a great-ancestor named Mu Xingqiu...... You wouldn't deliberately make up a name to take advantage of me, would you?"

"I don't know you at all. ”

"That's right. Mu Lie was very simple, once he believed that Mu Xingqiu was not Zuo Liuying, but was from the same surname, his attitude immediately became cordial, carrying his baggage and carrying an oil lamp, "Why are you in Broken Stream City? I passed through a village three days ago, and the people there said that the city was uninhabited and occupied by a group of monsters that looked like people and non-humans, and monsters that seemed to be demons and non-demons, so when I saw you, I thought it was Zuo Liuying." ”

"I just came here, and you haven't told me what grudge you have with Zuo Liuying. ”

"My brother was snatched away by Zuo Liuying two years ago, and I came to take revenge and save my brother. ”

"Your brother is Yuanying?" Mu Xingqiu immediately understood.

"I don't know what Yuan Ying is, but a few days after he was born, a circle-shaped red mark appeared on his forehead. No matter what my brother is, Zuo Liuying can't snatch him away. Mu Lie said hatefully.

"Are you sure that Zuo Liuying really snatched him?" Mu Xingqiu felt that with Zuo Liuying's ability, snatching a baby would not be noticed by mortals at all.

"Doesn't Zuo Liuying want to hold some kind of Yuanying Conference in Broken Stream City? All the Yuanying in the world are here, and my brother will be no exception. In the past two years, I have traveled to many places, and almost all people in the know say that Zuo Liuying and a guy named Kun Chao are the masterminds of the whole thing, Kun Chao does not know where to go, Zuo Liuying ...... Isn't he in the city? Everybody says it's his city. ”

"No, but he will definitely appear at the Yuanying Conference on July 7 next year?"

"Next year, not this year?"

"What day is it?"

"The ninth day of the first month. ”

Mu Xingqiu forgot all the time, "It's this year, and there are still seven months." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for him here, and when Zuo Liuying comes, I'll be the first to challenge him. ”

Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but snort again, "Do you know that you are sending you to death?"

Mu Lie's face was red from the cold, showing a bit of determination, "I know that my brother is still alive." My father died before he was born, and my mother misses my brother and cries every day - I have to do something, even if it is to die, I have to tell Zuo Liuying: Don't just rob other people's children, he has parents and relatives. ”

Mu Lie's face turned even redder, and he looked at the starlit Broken Flow City, "Our Mu family has such a temper, and your surname is Mu." But you are not from our Mu family. By the way, what are you doing in Broken Stream?"

Mu Xingqiu was asked, in fact, he was about to leave here, worried that his presence would bring another misfortune to Qin Lingshuang.

"I've seen a lot of people like us, but they don't dare to come to look for them, they always say, 'Just treat him as dead,' and I'm here, and you're here before me." I see that your skills are good, we can challenge Zuo Liuying together. Mu Lie said excitedly.

Mu Xingqiu looked to the west, his gaze seemed to penetrate Broken Flow City, and he saw Qin Lingshuang still standing there in a daze. "No, I'm leaving, maybe I'll be back later. ”

"Oh. Mu Lie looked disappointed, and suddenly grasped the hilt of the knife again. "There are people in the city who have come out, and there are quite a few...... It's those monsters!"

Mu Lie pulled out his knife, and Mu Xingqiu waved his hand. "They're not bad people. ”

"You recognize these...... Guys?"

"Hmm. ”

Mu Lie retracted his knife again, still maintaining full vigilance.

Yin Bushen came running with a group of earth monkeys, with a smile on his face, as soon as he saw Mu Lie, his smile immediately disappeared, and his expression became more vigilant, "Who is he? When did he appear? What are you here for?"

"Leave him alone, what are you here for?" asked Mu Xingqiu.

Yin Bushen put on a smiling face again, "I thought Daozun had gone away, but it's okay." That's right, I have an idea, maybe I can defeat Zuo Liuying, but I need Daozun's help. ”

"Can you defeat Zuo Liuying?" Mu Lie shouted in surprise, he didn't see that Yin Bushen was a demon clan, and felt that this person was thin and pale, not like a powerful person.

Yin Bushen pretended not to hear it, and his eyes didn't even glance at it, "It's these monkeys......"

"Ground monkeys, strange names. Mu Lie shook his head, although there were many of these monsters, they were all very short, and he could fight ten by himself.

Yin Bushen couldn't hold back any longer, stretched out his hand, and five ground monkeys rushed towards Mu Lie like arrows, anyway, Daozun hasn't officially introduced it yet, first get rid of the annoying humans, and then it's a big deal to be scolded.

Mu Xingqiu stretched out his arm to block, and the five ground monkeys seemed to hit the wall, turned over and fell, screaming and fleeing back to Yin Bushen's side.

Mu Lie didn't see it clearly, he only felt that these monsters were ridiculous, but Yin Bushen could see it clearly, Mu Xingqiu used the Patriarch Tower to write a talisman to protect Mu Lie's safety.

Yin Bushen didn't dare to make a move anymore, and said with a sneer: "The earth monkeys are actually very useful, Zuo Liuying learned from them the obscurantist state of the first demon, no matter what the purpose is, it leaves a loophole, but this loophole can only be used by the mind illusion technique." ”

Mu Lie didn't understand a word, but Mu Xingqiu already understood, and he looked west again, knowing whose idea it was, "I've forgotten the Mind Illusion Technique." ”

"What Dao Zun has forgotten is the specific method, not the mind illusion, haven't you ever sensed the emotions of everyone? ”

This is not a direct retention, that kind of thing Qin Lingshuang will never do, but she just showed a little reluctance, Mu Xingqiu couldn't refuse, and the memory did hold him tightly.

"Okay. ”

Yin Bushen rubbed his hands excitedly, "Great, please Daozun go back with me." ”

"I'm just going to stay here. Mu Xingqiu threw the patriarch tower in his hand on the ground, the tower grew into more than ten zhang high in an instant, and the two mirror doors that were transformed into a large mirror on the surface of the west lake of the city were far away.
