Qingfeng Xu Xu

When Xu Mulin turned around, a hidden weapon flew past Xu Mulin.

Du Mo was hit by an arrow in the chest and had a sun-sacrifice needle stuck between his eyebrows. He fell to the ground completely before he could make any struggle.

"If he really had regrets, he wouldn't want to take Du Ling's life again and again. Why should Senior Brother Xu talk to him too much?"

Xu Mulin explained:"Du Ling didn't want his life. I thought that if I got the antidote back, I would let Du Ling handle the rest by himself."

"But this is too thrilling!"Xu Qingjiu felt scared when she thought about the scene where Du Mo suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Xu Mulin,"If Jing Hua and I hadn't reacted quickly, he would have hurt senior brother."

"It's okay, just a near miss. Xu Mulin smiled and said,"But it's thanks to you and Jing Hua being here.""

"Mainly because I am better."Xu Qingjiu looked at Xu Mulin and smiled proudly. After speaking, he looked at Wu Jinghua and asked:"Where did you get the crossbow arrows? I've never seen you use it before. It looks pretty easy to use, but it's not as lightweight as my concealed weapon."

"Du Ling gave it to me, but I didn't expect it to be of some use. Wu Jinghua finished speaking very nonchalantly. When he turned to look at Du Mo's body, he said helplessly:"What should he do?""

"Find a place to settle first. Luzhou has not been peaceful in recent days. Du Shengyang's funeral has just ended. Another son has died. It is really difficult to take him back. Go back and tell Du Ling and see what he does next."Xu Mulin replied.

Now is a good time for the grass to grow and the orioles to fly. Every gust of wind brings a breath of vitality, but it also blows away the white paper money on the road. My father was just buried on this road the day before. , my son also died on this road today.

"Jihua, how is Du Ling? We haven't been able to find an antidote."As soon as the three of them returned to Du Ling's courtyard, they happened to see Li Jihua walking towards the direction of Du Ling's room,"Senior brother also tried to persuade Du Mo, but he was no longer willing to repent."

"It's okay. It might be a bit difficult for me alone. Now that Ah Ji is here, I'll just take care of it. Li Jihua looked at the three people who had rushed back after a long journey and said,"Where is Du Mo?" how is he?"After Li Jihua finished speaking, he saw that the three of them were silent and understood what kind of ending Du Mo had.

"Where is the starting point? Didn't you say before that you had made preparations in advance?"

"I didn't make any preparations, I just thought of using it to scare Du Mo."

"But if Du Mo acted in such a hurry, would he leave that gap for us? Can the poison be easily detoxified?"

Hearing this, Li Jihua looked at Xu Mulin and smiled,"Yes, it is indeed too sudden. I had thought that if Du Mo wanted to make a desperate move, poison would be the safest way, so I had studied whether there was any way. There is no way to prevent it in advance, but I have never thought of any way. Perhaps it was fate that the medicine prepared by A Ji had detoxification effect. Du Ling drank a lot of it recently. It seems that the medicine prolonged the time of the poison in the body. But it happened to be a coincidence. Aji said that she had been exposed to that poison before. She was assassinated in Longyin Village and was poisoned by that poison."

"Longyin Village? Why did Du Mo want to kill Miss Qiu?"

"Du Mo may not have a reason to kill Qiu Ji, but Du Shengyang definitely does. Du Shengyang was originally going to silence Qiu Gu's entire family. If he knew Qiu Ji was still alive, he would not let him go so easily."If Xu Mulin was still hesitant about Qi Kaiyuan's identity before, then after Du Mo's words, everything is confirmed.

"Senior brother is right, how could I forget this. It's just that Du Shengyang wanted to kill Miss Qiu because he was worried that the Luoqiugu incident would be exposed. If that was the case, why did he only send Du Mo to deal with it?"

"He must be worried that if his identity is exposed, something will be noticed, and isn't Du Mo also acting in secret? That’s why we know this now."

Seeing Xu Mulin's fluent answers, Li Jihua felt inexplicably that Xu Mulin seemed to have known something for a long time, so he thought of these words and wanted to focus everyone's attention on the dead Du Shengyang.

"How did Brother Mulin know that Du Mo was acting in secret?"Looking at Xu Qingjiu's already convinced look, Li Jihua suddenly asked

"...I also guessed that if he hadn't acted secretly, Qiu Ji would have discovered it long ago, wouldn't he?"Xu Mulin didn't expect Li Jihua to ask a question suddenly, but he was only stunned for a moment before quickly asking.

"Aji said that the man who chased him was masked, but judging from his figure, he should be a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. Judging from his age, he should not be Du Mo."

"So that's the case. Did Du Ling think of any clues? The only known connection between Du Mo and Qiu Ji is related to Du Shengyang"

"No."Li Jihua looked at Xu Mulin's calm expression as always, and felt that maybe he was just paranoid just now, and it seemed inappropriate for him to ask such unprovoked questions,"But Du Mo has been planning for so many years, and it is impossible to have anyone around him who can do things for him. nothing. Du Mo came to the door personally today, probably because he considered that Du Ling might relax his vigilance against him, which would be more conducive to his success."

After Du Ling learned about Du Mo's placement, he sent someone to take care of it secretly that night, planning to bury him directly outside. However, there is no airtight wall in this world. Du Mo's death spread within two days. , everyone had no other focus, so they pointed the finger at Du Ling. Fortunately, after a few days of recuperation, Du Ling's body has not recovered as before, but it is basically better. Now these rumors can't be stirred up in his mind. What's going on? It's just that Li Jihua is still worried about Du Ling's situation. Although Du Ling has replied many times that he doesn't take those things seriously, he still can't help but come over to persuade Du Ling again.

"In fact, it's quite a pity. If he didn't insist on breaking up with me, maybe this Yuanyang Sect would also be his. Then, when I recover, I can continue to enjoy the joy of traveling around the mountains and rivers."

"What do you mean? what about now?"

"Du Mo's nature was not bad, but his life was ruined by Du Shengyang after all. Du Shengyang left Du Mo's mother behind. I heard that Du Mo also suffered a lot outside when he was a child. After being recognized by Du Shengyang, I don't know if it is Du Mo's luck. Du Shengyang looked at Du Mo and him very much when he was young. Like him, he kept Du Mo by his side for training, preventing him from being thrown into the crowd of disciples and facing the situation of life and death every day. Later, Du Shengyang took Du Mo out, saying it was to give him a mission. Later, I don’t know how Du Mo escaped. On the way back, he even rescued a seriously injured person. Because he couldn’t deal with it himself, he brought that person back all the way. , turn to mother for help. Because of these things, I still can't bear to think about him with many problems. I just feel that he was also coerced by Du Shengyang."

"When you first found out the truth, you had already intended to keep him alive. This ending may be considered a relief for Du Mo. As he said himself, there is no turning back, and now there is no way to move forward."

"After Du Shengyang died, I thought that everyone would have a way out from now on, but I didn't expect that in Du Mo's eyes, he might have thought that I had blocked his way. I blocked the path that made him become Du Shengyang. road. But we are not all the same. Now this Yuanyang Sect is rotten from the inside out. Once Du Shengyang dies, it may not take long for it to decline."

"Planning to continue traveling?"

Du Ling sighed and said with a smile:"I don't know anything else either."

"The Yuanyang Sect was quite prosperous before Du Shengyang was directly targeted. The ancestors of the Yuanyang Sect had built up their legacy for many years and it has been carried forward in the hands of Du Shengyang. Are you going to abandon it like this? The Yuanyang Sect was very embarrassed in the past. That was because Du Shengyang was the leader. If you are here in the future, the Yuanyang Sect will naturally be a different story."

"But in this world, where is the need for so many so-called upright men and young heroes? Isn't it good to be ordinary?"

"Jianghu will always exist, because there are many people who are full of longing for it, and they have entered it one after another."

"maybe...I think about it again, the predecessors made this world a mess, maybe there is still a need for new people to bring some good things to this world."

Now that the matter has been spread, Du Ling simply stopped covering up and directly took Du Mo's body back, intending to place it there for a while before burying it. He also sent someone to pack up Du Mo's belongings. They planned to find some things for Du Mo to bury with him.

After two days, Du Ling's situation had completely stabilized. It was not convenient for the group to continue to intervene in the subsequent events, so they planned to say goodbye and leave. Slowly returned to Tianzong, Qiuji returned to Qiugu, and Wu Li returned to Guxiazhuang, but he planned to go to Meizhou with Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu, resting in Meizhou for two days before going to Guxiazhuang.

Du Ling saw him off in person.

When passing by a courtyard, there happened to be someone A disciple came out of the courtyard carrying some letters and books. Seeing that Du Ling was there, he came forward and reported a few words to Du Ling in a low voice.

Several people stood aside waiting, and Xu Mulin suddenly noticed what was happening in front of him. The yard was a bit familiar. When he looked at the busy people cleaning up inside, Xu Mulin suddenly remembered that this was the place where he met Qi Kaiyuan that day. Xu Mulin remembered that after he accidentally entered the yard that day, he vaguely heard people talking. At that time, because he was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed and aroused suspicion, he left in a hurry. Later, Qi Kaiyuan suddenly appeared. He was probably worried that his conversation with Du Mo would be heard by others, so Qi Kaiyuan came out to inquire. Thinking of this, Xu Mulin felt that he Perhaps he really missed the opportunity to learn the truth that day.

Although Xu Mulin had previously concluded that Du Shengyang was killed by Qi Kaiyuan, Xu Mulin was still entangled in what exchange of interests between Qi Kaiyuan and Du Mo. Qi Kaiyuan originally Taking action personally, although it was Xu Mulin who was kidnapped, Xu Mulin also felt that it was not necessarily Qi Kaiyuan's mistake. After all, if Wu Yang had not arrived in time that day, all four of them would have died at the hands of Qi Kaiyuan. And Qi Kaiyuan The fact that Kaiyuan went there in person may mean that Qi Kaiyuan did not trust Du Mo that much at that time and did not inform Du Mo of all his plans. Therefore, no matter how entangled the interests of Qi Kaiyuan and Du Mo were, he would not be able to interfere with Qi Kaiyuan's relationship with Xu Qing. Jiu's malicious plot. As for Du Mo's previous statement that Qi Kaiyuan felt that Xu Mulin was a threat, Xu Mulin guessed that he might have successfully tested Qi Kaiyuan that day, making Qi Kaiyuan fearful of him, so he might have ordered Du Mo to do something. , but judging from the result, Du Mo refused for some unknown reason.

Although there was just another breeze on the flat ground, when the breeze reached the deep alley, it violently ruffled the corners of everyone's clothes. Du Ling explained that It was almost done. Just as he turned around, a gust of breeze came unexpectedly, and the things held by the disciples behind him were blown to the ground. The group of people leaned down to help pick them up.

"What's wrong, Qingjiu?"
