Chapter 404: Going to Jiangnan
Ling Muyun and others snatched out of the house, but saw that Jiumozhi's figure had already sank into the woods in the distance, leaving only the few followers he brought to flee in panic.
Ben said hatefully: "This guy ran away quickly. He is also a great monk, but he left his subordinates behind at the critical moment!"
Bengan turned to look at Benyin: "Abbot, are we still chasing him?"
Benyin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just drive him away. Besides, with his light skills, we may not be able to catch up with him."
"Senior Brother Abbot said yes."
No one mentioned the followers of the crowd who fled in panic. Everyone present was a very identifiable person and did not take those people seriously at all, so they naturally became even more disdainful to make things difficult for them.
Ling Muyun shook his head gently as he looked at the direction where Jiumozhi's figure disappeared. In fact, if he chased after him at this time, it would be very sure to catch up with Jiumozhi. After integrating the "He Xiang Jiu Tian" light skills, his light skills are almost the same as saying that he is unique in the world. Although Jiumozhi's light skills are good, they are still far behind him.
But what if he catches up? With his current strength, he has no chance of winning against Jiumozhi alone. At best, he can only barely protect himself. Will he chase after him and ask for trouble?
Seeing that the followers of Jiumozhi's other men also fled into the forest, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and it was obvious that they had escaped from Tianlong Temple. Ling Muyun and the monks of Tianlong Temple returned to Muni Hall again.
Although the main structure of the Muni Hall was not damaged, the portal had been destroyed and it was not suitable to stay any longer. However, Master Kurong refused to leave while sitting in Kuchan, and everyone had to turn back to the Muni Hall to speak.
The monks of Tianlong Temple, Emperor Baoding and others were naturally grateful to Ling Muyun. After all, if Ling Muyun was not available, the Duan of Dali would have fallen into trouble today. Emperor Baoding is the king of Dali and Duan Yu is the future crown prince of Dali. No matter who they were kidnapped, it would be a heavy blow to the Duan of Dali.
After talking, Ling Muyun said goodbye to Emperor Baoding and others. Now that Jiumozhi has retired, Duan Yu is safe, and the matter in Dali is over, Ling Muyun is ready to go to Central Plains. After all, he still has a task, so he naturally goes wherever he has something to do, otherwise how could he become famous in the world?
Because he was worried that Duan Yu's evil poison had not yet been cleared, Emperor Baoding and Duan Yu decided to stay in Tianlong Temple for a few more days. He originally wanted to leave Ling Muyun for a while and have some good hospitality. However, when he heard that Ling Muyun had something to go back to the Central Plains to do, he no longer forced him to stay. He kept Ling Muyun for lunch in Tianlong Temple and sent Ling Muyun out of Tianlong Temple to say goodbye to him.
Ling Muyun left Tianlong Temple and first returned to Dali Town Nanwang Mansion, who was still worried about his son's safety, informed him. Because it was already late, he stayed in Zhennanwang Mansion with Dali Baifeng's help. Early the next morning, he rode the mount arranged for him by the palace and left Dali City north and headed straight for Jiangnan.
Ling Muyun's purpose of this trip was Wuxi, because if he remembered correctly, a major event that would shake the world would happen in the apricot forest outside Wuxi City soon. If he could get a hand in this matter, he would definitely become famous in the world in the shortest time!
...
Ling Muyun rode northward for several days, left the Dali border and ran radially northeast. Although his destination was Wuxi, he went to Susu first. As the saying goes, there is paradise above and Suzhou below. Gusu is famous for its beautiful scenery, and there is also a "fairy sister" who smiles happily. He finally came to Tianlong World this time. If he couldn't see his beauty, wouldn't it be a pity?
Besides, Wuxi and Suzhou are next to each other, so even if he goes to Suzhou for a few days first, it will not be too late to go to Wuxi.
Ling Muyun walked rapidly, and in less than half a month, he had already arrived outside Suzhou City.
It was the weather in early spring and March. The apricot blossoms crossed the path, green willows drooped on the lake, and the warm spring breeze blew on my body. I was really drunk. Seeing the pleasant scenery, Ling Muyun immediately believed in the horse and walked slowly, enjoying the wind and scenery all the way, so happy and happy.
When I asked the passers-by, no one knew about Mantuo Villa. After asking for help, I asked about seven or eight people, only the last old man knew about Mantuo Villa. The old man said, "I heard that there is indeed a farm in Taihu Lake outside Suzhou City. The whole village is full of camellias, which is called Mantuo Villa. But there are a group of female yakshas in that farm. Young Master, what are you doing in that place?"
Seeing that someone finally knew where Mantuo Villa was going, Ling Muyun was immediately excited and said, "Brother-in-law, I have something to do when I go to Mantuo Villa. I wonder if my father-in-law can give me a clear way?"
But the old man shook his head: "That Mantuo Villa is deep in Taihu Lake. Most people don't know that. I have been fishing in Taihu Lake for many years before I know that there is such a farm. There are only a group of female yakshas living in it. In the past, fishermen have rested at their farm, but they never came back. I heard that the group of female yakshas were asked to bury them under camellia to make flower fat. Who dares to go? You should find someone else."
As he spoke, the old man walked away quickly like a plague god, letting Ling Muyun call him, but the old man refused to stop. Seeing this, Ling Muyun couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Although he could easily stop the old man, he wouldn't want to go. Can he still hold a knife around his neck and force him to lead him? That's not his style.
However, the old man's words pointed out the direction for him. It seemed that he was a local from Suzhou. He usually didn't know the path to Mantuo Villa. If you want to find Mantuo Villa, you have to ask the local fishermen who are fishing.
Thinking of this, Ling Muyun stopped going to Suzhou City. He turned around and prepared to walk down the official road to the lake, preparing to find a bold fisherman to lead the way for him.
However, before Ling Muyun got off the official road, he heard a sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and two horses rushed over from behind. Ling Muyun looked at him and saw an old man sitting at each of them. One of them was floating white beards and wearing a quail dress with nails. He looked like an extremely old beggar.
The man who rode with him was also an old man, with a burly and tall figure, but he looked 10 or 20 years younger than the old beggar. His chin was also waving beard and bearded, and he was wearing a long silk robe with cocoons and silk clothes, and his clothes were very luxurious, looking like a rich man.
Ling Muyun's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the two of them. The combination of these two was too strange. It was already strange enough to ride a horse with an old beggar in his seventies and eighties. Because the Song Dynasty lost the place of horse-raising such as Youyun Sixteen Prefectures at the beginning of its founding, the Song Dynasty has always been short of horses, so horses in the Song Dynasty are quite not cheap, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford it, let alone an old beggar.
This old beggar not only has a good horse on his crotch, but also rides with an old man dressed in a wealthy family. How can all kinds of inconsistencies not surprise people?
Although Ling Muyun was a little curious, he didn't take it seriously. After all, there were too many strange people and strange things in the world. Although the combination of the two was a bit strange, it was no big deal.
However, the few words floating from afar between the two of them completely aroused Ling Muyun's interest. The old man dressed up outside the rich family said, "Brother Xu, have you notified your brothers about this?"
The old beggar said, "Only a very small number of people in this gang know about this matter. You also know that the guy has a high prestige in the gang. I have to act carefully, so as not to miss the news and spread it to his ears, so that he can prepare in advance, so that it will be difficult to deal with it."
"Brother Xu, you don't have to be too nervous. The brothers of your gang are all loyal, brave, kind and righteous men, and you won't be inseparable from right and wrong. When Mrs. Ma, Mr. Tan, Po Tan, Master Zhiguang and others arrive, expose his true face in front of the brothers of your gang. Could he be a strange species of the gang really turn the world around in our Central Plains martial arts world?"
"Someone, let's talk about it later..."
Originally, the two of them were cautious, and they stopped talking when they arrived near Ling Muyun, but they did not expect that Ling Muyun had a deep skill and amazing ears. All the things they said at a distance were taken into account by Ling Muyun's ears.
"Brother Xu, Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Tan Po, Tan, and the Hulu alien species..."
Ling Muyun looked at the backs of the two people who were speeding past him, and his eyes were thoughtful. The amount of information revealed from these two people was too large. Although Ling Muyun did not know any of the people mentioned in the two people, he had heard of them, and it happened to be related to the incident he was going to participate in when he came to Jiangnan.
Thinking of this, Ling Muyun was no longer busy looking for someone to lead the way to Mantuo Villa, but followed the two people who were about to rush away.
Although the mounts of the two in front were good, Ling Muyun's horse was given by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and was also a rare good horse, so it was not difficult to follow. Ling Muyun was behind the two riders and followed the two into Suzhou City.
From a distance, I saw the two of them getting off the horse in an inn with a large storefront. Five big men came out of the inn, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their appearance was very similar. The oldest was about forty years old, and the youngest was only in their twenties. They looked like a brother of a mother. Two of the big men took the horses of two old men and handed them to the inn to the backyard to feed them. Then they hugged the two elders into the inn.
Seeing this, Ling Muyun rode over and got off the horse in front of the inn called Ping'an Inn. He handed the horses to the shopkeeper who came out and took them to the backyard to feed them, and walked into the inn by himself.
Who would have thought that as soon as Ling Muyun stepped into the inn, he saw two big men strode towards each other side, as if a wall was bumping towards Ling Muyun. Moreover, Ling Muyun had also seen these two men, the second of the five big men who had greeted the two old men outside the inn.
It turned out that the old beggar and the old man from the foreigner had been around for a long time. After meeting Ling Muyun on the road, he found that Ling Muyun had been following them all the time, which aroused their suspicion. Seeing that Ling Muyun was also following the inn, he ordered the two men to test it out and see what kind of role Ling Muyun was, so as to judge whether Ling Muyun happened to be on the same journey or was deliberately following him.
Ling Muyun's thoughts were turned on, and he knew the other party's intentions in an instant, but he did not avoid it at all and went straight to the two of them. The two men came prepared. Seeing this, they immediately used their internal strength to their chests and collided with each other toward Ling Muyun.
However, while hitting someone, both of them also had the strength to wait for the other party to avoid hurting their lives if they did not know how to do martial arts or failed.
It should be noted that both of them have become famous masters in the world, and this collision is a change in the family martial arts. Even if an ordinary hero in the world is hit by them with all their strength, he will be seriously injured and vomited blood. If an ordinary person who does not know martial arts, it is normal to kill him directly.
However, what happened next surprised the two men. After colliding with Ling Muyun, they felt as if they had hit a pile of cotton, empty and ineffective. The two were shocked and hurriedly wanted to sit back. However, at this moment, they felt a trace of stickiness coming from each other's body, and the two of them could no longer stabilize their bodies, and they rushed to the ground with both "puzzles" and "puzzles".
"Oh, what are you doing, you two? Hurry up, we don't know each other before, I can't stand your great tribute." Ling Muyun pretended to be startled, took two steps back, and shouted loudly.
The eyes of everyone in the room looked at Ling Muyun. The three big men sitting on a table stood up and were about to run towards the door. However, before the three of them could take a step, an old voice heard a deep voice: "Sit down for me!"
Ling Muyun looked over and saw that the person who was speaking was the old man dressed up in a wealthy family, and the old beggar was sitting next to him. It was obvious that the two of them were waiting there to see his reaction methods, but they didn't know whether his reaction methods were satisfied with the other party. They immediately nodded to the other party with a smile.
The old man with silk robe narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and the same was true for the white-bearded old beggar next to him. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and a solemn look flashed in their eyes.
Both of them are experts in martial arts, with extraordinary eyesight and both see the mystery. Ling Muyun seemed to have just avoided it backwards, but in fact he used extremely skillful skill to leverage the force, which made the two great men lose their center of gravity and fall to the ground.
Otherwise, with the two great men practicing martial arts for many years, even if there are three or five great men pushing them behind, they can't push them down easily just because they fall into nothing? Have they practiced their kung fu over the years?
The two men got up from the ground with red faces, and then looked at Ling Muyun with anger. They were not fools, so how could they not understand that they were fooled by Ling Muyun?
Ling Muyun smiled and said, "Brothers, you didn't hurt, right? Look, you are so polite when you meet. How can I be so embarrassed!"
"You..." The two big men's eyes were red and they were not so shameless. They fell down a big horse and even made a mockery. They were unbearable. They clenched their fists and were about to hit Ling Muyun.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ling Muyun's eyes. In the instant of the fight, he had already figured out the skills of these two people, which was just approaching the level of acquired success. Not to mention him, even the cheap disciple of the South China Sea Crocodile God he accepted could be solved in a few seconds.
"Stop, do you think it's not ugly enough? Get back to me!" At this moment, I suddenly heard an angry shout, but it was the old man in the silk robe who spoke.
"Yes, dad."
The two men's figures that were about to pounce on him suddenly stopped. The arms that had already been raised were weakly put down. They turned their heads and agreed, then glared at Ling Muyun fiercely, walked to the table over there and sat down.
"Old guy, my kung fu is not very good, but my eyesight is good."
Ling Muyun laughed in his heart and stepped into the room. The old man in silk robe stopped drinking in time. Otherwise, when the two men really attacked him, Ling Muyun would have to let them suffer a heavy loss.
After suffering a loss at Ling Muyun's hands, he also tried some of Ling Muyun's methods. The old man in silk robe and the old beggar no longer stayed in the lobby. He looked at Ling Muyun deeply and then led the five big men who seemed to be a compatriot to go upstairs and return to the guest room.
Ling Muyun paid attention to the location of the guest rooms where several people went, then went to the counter to open a room close to the residence of several people, and then entered his own guest room to rest under the guidance of the innkeeper.
...
As night fell, the lights of thousands of houses were on the back window of Ping'an Inn. He flipped his body in the air, his feet were on the windowsill, and his body rose into the air like a big bird, and he floated onto the roof of the inn. Then he quietly identified the direction and walked more than ten steps eastward. Then he bent down on the roof, quietly moved a piece of tiles and looked down along the gap.
I saw two old men sitting opposite each other under the lamp drinking tea. One was white-headed and white bearded, the other was covered with quail clothes and knots, and the other was wrapped in brocade silk. The two old men were just tracked by Ling Muyun during the day. And who else could there be except our eldest son Ling?
At this time, I heard the old beggar in the room say, "Brother Shan, you said that the boy who followed us during the day would not have anything to do with that guy Qiao Feng, right?"
The old man named Dan, wearing a brocade robe, pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Qiao Feng has a wide range of friends and many friends. Who knows if that kid is his gang?"
