Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

Mu Xiaochuan didn't understand at first why he didn't go to the east of the city to find the city patrol officer, but he soon understood.

The lanterns on the canal were lit up one by one, and the sounds of vendors soliciting customers, the sounds of dancing and music in the restaurants, and the sounds of pedestrians laughing and chatting on the road all mixed into a lively and extravagant night banquet song. At this time, it was the time when Kyoto's sensual Beili came to life. Tourists from all walks of life were coming to Pingkang Beili. Let alone going through the city to the east of the city, it would be difficult to walk even close to Beili, let alone ride a horse.

The three of them headed north smoothly, there were not many people, and they left the city gate in a short time. There were still pursuers behind them. The three of them left the city gate and went down the official road. The two cavalry plunged into the forest.

Zhong Wanling stood on the tree and looked around. When he saw the pursuers in the distance retreating to the city gate, he jumped down from the tree.

"They didn't catch up and went back to the city gate to wait. Let's take a break first and leave after the curfew to avoid being caught by those people."

Mu Xiaochuan nodded, got off the horse, helped the woman off the horse, and tied the horse.

The woman bowed and thanked the two of them."Thank you two young heroes for saving me."

Mu Xiaochuan returned the gift with his hands folded.

Zhong Wanling just waved his hands and said casually:"You're welcome, my name is Zhong Wanling and his name is Mu Xiaochuan. After saying that, while pulling the woman to check the injury, he did not forget to tease Mu Xiaochuan:"Brother Mu, why are you still acting like a monk?" You don't dare to go against your family, why are you so obsessed with it? However, the world is so big, who would have thought that the master of Nantianmen would actually send someone to the Shangqing Sect in order to prevent his legitimate son from becoming a monk. Mu

Xiaochuan was at a loss for words and could only murmur:"No one would have thought that the eldest daughter of a famous family after the royal family could play tricks and steal words and retaliate with poison." Zhong

Wanling laughed loudly:"This is a good thing, it means that senior brother understands me better.""

Mu Xiaochuan sighed helplessly and could only go to the surrounding area to collect firewood to avoid Zhong Wanling's teasing.

Zhong Wanling smiled softly, turned to the woman and said gently:"The girl has an injury on her abdomen. Please undress and let me apply medicine to the girl..

The woman blushed and looked at Zhong Wanling at a loss, and then at the direction Mu Xiaochuan was walking away. Zhong Wanling smiled and comforted him:"

Don't worry, girl, Senior Brother Mu may look a little scary, but he is a true gentleman.""

The woman's face became increasingly red with embarrassment, and she thought to herself: Then don't we still have you? Don't think that because you are handsome, you can act like a gangster. The woman wanted to glare at the heartless young hero in front of her to show her dissatisfaction. But when She took advantage of the moonlight to take a good look at this chivalrous man who was as handsome as Pian Pianjia. Only then did she realize that he was a woman just like herself. After

Zhong Wanling helped the woman apply the medicine, she discovered that the woman was actually a woman with She was a girl of the same age, or even younger than her. The girl had a beautiful face, but the injuries from the beating obscured her beautiful face. She was tall and slender, so people misjudged her age. After a while,

Mu Xiaochuan also came back, holding a handful of dry firewood in one hand and a pheasant in the other.

Zhong Wanling did not tease Mu Xiaochuan this time, but took the dry firewood from Mu Xiaochuan's hand and set up a bonfire. Mu Xiaochuan Then he went to deal with the pheasant. Zhong Wanling put the chicken that Mu Xiaochuan had prepared on the fire and asked him:"Is the Tai'an sect difficult to deal with? Why did it take so long for senior brother to escape? Could it be that senior brother is also fond of fighting?"

"If it were an honest fight, Liang You would probably be able to defeat him."Mu Xiaochuan wiped his hands and felt something was wrong when he thought of the rather weird Tai'an Sect monk,"I don't think that person is from the Tai'an Sect."

"oh? how you said that? Zhong Wanling asked as he tore off a chicken wing and handed it to the girl,"Can you eat it?""The girl nodded and took the chicken wings.

Mu Xiaochuan took a bite of the chicken legs and said thoughtfully:"I can't tell clearly, but I don't think he is a righteous person."

"The Tai'an Sect is very close to the Chilian Sect of the Sword Sect. After the leader of the Chilian Sect took the whole sect to escape from the world, many monks who wanted to learn swordsman switched to the Tai'an Sect, so the Tai'an Sect now has many swordsmen. But that man's weapon was a mechanical compass that could be divided into four boomerangs, and poison. His method was very sinister and difficult to deal with."

"Senior Brother Mu thinks he is a demon cultivator pretending to be the Tai'an Sect? Zhong Wanling put the chicken in his hand into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it,"Not necessarily." The medical immortals in Yaowang Valley use medicines as well as poisons. No matter which immortal sect the disciples of Qianji Sect in Sichuan join, they mainly use trap weapons, and each sect also has masters in trapping medicine. Moreover, Tai'an Sect had a close relationship with King Qi at least four years ago. The one I met was not very impressive. Maybe the Tai'an sect's talents have faded and they have found another way. Mu Xiaochuan smiled bitterly."

Are you trying to excuse them, or are you hurting them?""

Zhong Wanling smiled noncommittally, tore off another chicken wing and handed it to the girl who was sitting quietly aside.

Mu Xiaochuan looked at the woman who seemed to be in a much better condition and was very pleased."However, it's a good thing that it took a while. At least he responded. The junior sister rescued Miss Minjun."

Zhong Wanling and the girl were both startled when they heard this.

Zhong Wanling looked at Mu Xiaochuan with a complicated expression, but hesitated to speak.

Mu Xiaochuan was so scared that she looked at him."What's wrong?"

Zhong Wanling did not answer, his eyes averted and he did not speak.

The girl carefully placed the chicken wings in her hand on a larger blade of grass next to her. She was kneeling on the ground, solemnly kowtowed to Zhong Wanling and Mu Xiaochuan, straightened her upper body, He said solemnly:"Little girl Lu Buji would like to thank the two young heroes for saving her life. However, the little girl is not Minjun's sister."

Mu Xiaochuan was shocked.

Zhong Wanling was focused on other issues."Do you know Ren Minjun?

Lu Buxi nodded."Are the two young heroes here to investigate Sister Minjun's case?""

Mu Xiaochuan was a little confused. Lefang probably didn't report Minjun's disappearance, so it shouldn't be called a"case", right? But he still answered:"Yes.

Zhong Wanling didn't answer but asked:"You are not from Lefang." Who are you?"

Mu Xiaochuan and Lu Buxi were a little confused by Zhong Wanling's question about not following the routine.

Lu Buxi answered honestly:"I am the second daughter of Mo Zimuzuo's family. I know Sister Minjun because I learned pipa from her. I know that our identities are different, but we are all women. If their lives were not too miserable, they would not be reduced to this. She was so talented, and she didn't mind that I was the daughter of a carpenter. Not only that, she would invite me to go to the lakeside to play piano and practice music with them every free afternoon."Lu Buxi's voice was choked with sobs.

Zhong Wanling thought of the calluses she felt on her hands. In addition to the piano calluses on the Ren family girl's hands, there were indeed other calluses. She knew that what Lu Buxi said was true.

"Why are you there? Why did they arrest you?"

Lu Buxi fell silent. He knelt with his head down for a while and finally raised his head."I knew she was missing, so I secretly asked about the situation. Aunt Ren said they didn't believe what the bearer said, and I didn't believe it either. Although my sisters all advised me not to investigate, saying it might be dangerous, I couldn't let it go... Kuiyuan House happened to be looking for Dad to do business, so I took the opportunity to follow him. but……"Lu Buxi couldn't continue talking at this point. Tears burst out of her eyes and slid down her cheeks. She bit her lips tightly and did not make a cry.

Both Zhong Wanling and Mu Xiaochuan knew what was behind the"but". What Mo Zimu saw must be a large amount of bloodstains and a messy scene that covered up the previous situation. It was really hard not to be afraid and overthinking such a scene.

Mu Xiaochuan couldn't bear Lu Buxi's pain and comforted him:"Maybe that's not Miss Minjun's blood.""

"No, that is! I know it is! Lu Busi collapsed and shouted hysterically,"I hope not too!" But! But why should I discover this!"Lu Buxi took out a small bracelet from his arms. The color of the bracelet looked very dark in the firelight, but he could vaguely see mottled stains on it, which should be dried blood.

"Jade bracelet? Mu Xiaochuan's scalp exploded, but he still refused to accept it,"Maybe it's someone else's."……"But midway through the words, he felt something was wrong. What belongs to others still belongs to the dead. Mu Xiaochuan clasped his hands together and whispered silently, not wanting to think about it anymore.

Lu Buxi took a few deep breaths before he could control his emotions. He sobbed and said,"This is not jade, and it cannot be anyone else's. This is a wooden bracelet."……"Tears were still falling in large drops,"There is only one in the world. This is what I did." Lu Buqi held the wooden bracelet tightly with one hand and wiped his face carelessly with the other."This was the first time I learned to make yin-yang carvings. Sister Minjun didn't mind, she put it on on the spot. However, the one I made was too small, and she couldn't take it off after putting it on. I said, use a file. File it off, but she doesn't agree……"Lu Buji burst into tears again, and while crying, he recalled the time,"She said, this is an endless effort, an unending heart. If we can keep it like this for a lifetime, our friendship will last a lifetime."……"Lu Buxi burst into tears.

Zhong Wanling and Mu Xiaochuan were also moved.

The night in early spring was still very cold, and the flames burned the withered branches, making a"puff" sound. Owls were wailing in the distant forest. The three of them sat by the fire in silence, feeling deep in their hearts. But extremely desolate.

Mu Xiaochuan raised his head with red eyes.

A bright moon hangs high in the night sky, the sky is bright and lonely and desolate

"Let's take you back to Mo Zi Mu Zuo."Mu Xiaochuan said.

Lu Buxi shook his head."They used me as a hostage and threatened my father not to report to the government. The workshop and home must be under surveillance. If I go back, I will harm my father."Lu Buxi looked at the swaying bonfire and said softly,"Besides, Sister Minjun has not been found yet. The Ren sisters and Aunt Ren are waiting for Sister Minjun to come home.……"

The three of them looked at each other in silence

"Then go back to the branch pavilion first."Zhong Wanling said,"Miss Lu is still very weak and should not spend the night outdoors."

"But……"

"It's okay, Miss Lu can just share a room with me, and I also need to go back to the branch pavilion to make some preparations for tomorrow. This matter is not over yet. What Miss Ren entrusted us with is to find Miss Minjun."Zhong Wanling sighed softly,"Although Miss Minjun may have encountered something unexpected, we still have to give the client a solid explanation."

At this point, the three of them felt a lot heavier.

Zhong Wanling sighed softly, changed the subject, and got up to clean up."Senior Brother Mu, don't worry, Junior Brother Yan is keeping watch tonight. He is so afraid of you and me, I don't dare to do anything. Mu

Xiaochuan suddenly became ashamed, and while putting out the bonfire, he said:"I finally understand why the fellow juniors hate being with you, junior sister.""

"oh? Why?"

"You can't guess, catch up, or persuade. It's really difficult to deal with."

Zhong Wanling laughed loudly when he heard this, clasped his fists and replied:"Thank you for the compliment."

Mu Xiaochuan could only hold his head and shake his head.
