Zhou Qingmu stood on the bluestone and didn't bother to take off his soaked clothes, so he got up to look for the fallen ancient sword.

This sword was obtained by Zhou Qingmu from the ancient hall. Although Ye Jing'an did not tell him the purpose of the sword, Zhou Qingmu vaguely felt that there must be something extraordinary about this sword. After all, he took the seed from the hall and forged it for himself.

The "Holy Body" set me on the path of cultivation.

Zhou Qingmu was searching in the bushes behind the bluestone, and suddenly turned around and looked at the girl in green clothes behind him. The girl in green clothes was no longer looking at Zhou Qingmu at this time, but was looking at the pool of water in front of her.

Zhou Qingmu thought for a while and said: "Girl, I did not mean to offend you earlier. However, this place is extremely unsafe. Girl, please go home early."

"Um."

The girl in green suddenly looked back, her eyes still filled with unchanging disappointment.

Zhou Qingmu said nothing more after hearing this, lowered his head and looked around for the lost ancient sword.

...

At this time, at Qian Shaowei's place, everyone, led by Qian Shaowei, was already only thirty or forty steps away from the top of the mountain.

Everyone was looking for medicinal materials in the surrounding mountains and forests, but Qian Shaowei stood on the bluestone steps and looked at the top of the mountain, with a hint of heat in his eyes.

The man called "Old Mo" by everyone was walking in the forest on the side.

This mountain forest is different from others. Being in it, it is gloomy and depressing.

Lao Mo just thought it was because these towering trees blocked the sunlight, so Lao Mo continued to move forward while dealing with weeds and branches.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lao Mo finally saw the sun, but what he saw in his eyes shocked him extremely.

I saw a "vegetable garden" appearing in front of me, but what was planted in it were not "fruits and vegetables" but elixirs and magic treasures one after another.

Most of these medicinal materials are relatively rare, and there is even a "Purple Spirit Blood Ginseng" requested by the Second Young Master Qian. Such precious medicinal materials are not even collected by the Chinese medicine shops in the city. Lao Mo also believes in his heart that if he takes this

Go to the major medical clinics and drugstores in the city to sell them, and you may be able to enjoy a life of fine clothing and food.

So Lao Mo, who was thinking about how to go down the mountain quietly, no longer hesitated and picked up the tools in his hands to collect the elixir.

But just when Lao Mo was about to take action on the elixir in front of him, a red figure suddenly flashed in front of him.

The figure flashed past, and Lao Mo looked up, only to see a long knife pointed straight at his head.

"Greed is not a good thing. Use it as nourishment to make up for your mistakes."

Blood spattered out, and the figure turned around to look at the sun above his head and said coldly.

...

On the other side, the people looking for medicinal materials have almost returned to the bluestone steps. The harvest from this trip is still very few. So far, there are only a few herbs that are not growing well in the baskets that everyone carries with them.

Qian Shaowei stretched out his fingers to count the number of people, but found that one person was missing. He said with an unhappy look: "Why is there one person missing? Did he run away?"

The man who often quarreled with Old Mo immediately said: "Old Mo...Old Mo is missing. He can't run away. His wife and children are all waiting for him to eat this bounty!

"

"Yeah... Why is Lao Mo missing? His family is poorer than many people here. His eldest son died in the border battle a few years ago, and the compensation his family received was only enough to survive for a month.

What's more, there is a young son at home who has not yet gone to school, so the whole family is counting on Lao Mo alone!"

"..."

Everyone around them spoke accordingly, which also led them to conclude that it was impossible for Lao Mo, who was poor at home, to run away like this. Although Lao Mo had been afraid of bandits before and had backed away, as long as the second young master Qian in front of him was willing to give a guarantee,

Lao Mo is always the one at the forefront.

Hearing this, Qian Shaowei waved his hands and sat on the steps: "That's it, let's just wait for him."

After hearing what Qian Shaowei said, everyone sat on the bluestone steps and waited for Lao Mo while resting.

But these people waited here for a whole stick of incense, but they didn't see Lao Mo.

Qian Shaowei finally couldn't help but said: "Isn't this Lao Mo really running away? He hasn't come back for so long."

Several people present broke out in cold sweat, and one of the men said tremblingly: "Old Mo...Old Mo...could he...encounter a bandit?"

Everyone was a little scared after hearing this. People were not afraid of bandits many years ago. Although they appeared in groups, the bandits at that time were not strong. As long as they practiced a little bit, they could still run away if they were defeated.

Until a few years ago, a mysterious man suddenly appeared among this group of bandits. Since his appearance, the bandits in the area seem to have become tough and bloodthirsty. And as long as they encounter bandits, almost all of them will

Those who escaped were all killed by the bandits. Those who entered the mountain later would often find one or two corpses on the roadside.

In the past, strong men from either the Qian family or the Tang family, the overlord of Xiu Shuang City, went into the mountains and forests to suppress bandits, but they almost returned with no success. It is said that the mysterious new leader of the bandits is extremely powerful.

The head of the Qian family may not be able to defeat him. But after these strong men from the Qian and Tang families returned from going out to suppress thieves, almost all of them were injured rather than dead. But obviously no residents in the city delved into these issues.

Everyone was frightened when they heard this. Qian Shaowei felt angry when he saw this and said: "I told you there are no bandits on this road! I think he was just afraid and ran away! Who knew that Lao Mo was leaving?

Which way is it? I will take you to find out."

A middle-aged man pointed to the narrow woods behind him. Qian Shaowei stood up and said, "Get up and follow me to take a look."

After saying that, Qian Shaowei led everyone towards the woods where Lao Mo was walking. At first, everyone thought that Lao Mo must have encountered a bandit and was unwilling to go with them, but they could not withstand Qian Shaowei's intimidation.

, and finally went with him.

Everyone walked on the road that Lao Mo had walked on before. After Lao Mo's rough handling of this originally difficult road, everyone lined up in a long line with Qian Shaowei as the leader, but they still passed it easily.

The few people walked for about half a stick of incense before arriving at the "medicine garden" that Lao Mo had seen before. Naturally, everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this scene.

Qian Shaowei also saw the "Purple Spirit Blood Ginseng" in the medicine garden at this time, and couldn't help but said: "What my father said is indeed true, there really is Purple Spirit Blood Ginseng in this mountain. With this,

I think Uncle Tang will definitely agree to my marriage to Xiaowan. You guys, go and collect the elixir for me!"

Everyone's eyes were full of fire at this time, and they ran to the medicine garden. Even if they didn't find the medicinal materials needed by the Huichun Hall, as long as they took these elixirs to the Huichun Hall, the reward given by the shopkeeper of the Huichun Hall would be much larger.

At this time, there was only one person who was not moving at the same place. This person was the man who was so happy to quarrel with Lao Mo earlier. This man's name was Li Chu.

Li Ji stood there for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said to Qian Shaowei in front of him: "Master Qian, I think this matter is quite fishy. Lao Mo must have found this medicine garden, but there is no collection here.

There are traces of them. Why did Lao Mo disappear? Master Qian, why don't you let them come back."

Qian Shaowei heard this and said with disdain: "No matter why he disappeared, I am bound to get these elixirs today!"

"this......"

Li Chu didn't know what to do, but he didn't step forward to collect the medicine.

"This...this is...Old Mo's..."

At this time, in the medicine garden, a thin man was so frightened by the sight in front of him that he collapsed on the ground.

A horrifying scene was taking place in front of him, and he saw that the branches and leaves of a huge bloody elixir were dragging a bloody human head. The dead head was none other than the missing Lao Mo.

Following the cry of the thin man, everyone around him looked over. The bloody scene made everyone present feel frightened and sweatdropped.

The thin man no longer had any thoughts of collecting medicine. He got up from the ground and wanted to run back.

A figure in red with a white mask appeared quietly in front of him, looked at the thin man with a frightening look, and said slowly: "Now that you have seen it, don't leave."

The man in red raised his hand and summoned a sharp knife. He raised the knife and dropped it, causing blood to flow out. The thin man stopped breathing.

After the stabbing, the man in red turned and looked at the other people around him. The others saw that the thin man died here in just a few breaths. So they put down the tools and medicinal materials in their hands, turned around and ran out of the medicine garden.

.

The man in red did not give everyone a chance to escape, but instead dodged and caught up with the person at the end. Just as he was about to strike down with his sword, he saw a dazzling light bursting towards him.

At some unknown time, Qian Shaowei arrived in front of the medicine garden.

The corner of the man's mouth raised slightly, and the sharp knife in his hand trembled, hitting the golden light. The golden light split into two, and the man in red looked at Qian Shaowei who activated the magic weapon, his expression seemed to be asking

What other methods does Qian Shaowei have?

Seeing that the attack of his magic weapon was cut off, Qian Shaowei immediately took out a talisman from his sleeve and shouted: "Thieves, it's just an attack that broke the candlelight realm. Don't be arrogant, I paid a lot of money to buy this."

The Yang family fire talisman is here to kill evil spirits like you!"

After saying that, Qian Shaowei urged the talisman in his hand and softly uttered the words: "Please, the earth evil destroys the evil true fire!"

In an instant, the talisman in Qian Shaowei's hand turned into nothing, but a surging flame appeared in his hand, and the fire seemed to contain countless charms.

Qian Shaowei didn't talk nonsense. He raised the flame in his hand and threw it at the man in red.

The man in red raised the sharp knife in his hand and was about to slash at Qian Shaowei. The flame was indeed extraordinary and actually burned the sleeves of the man in red, causing light scars on the man in red's arms.

But the fire only lasted for a moment, and the man in red was about to cut Qian Shaowei's head with his knife.

"Fire is good, but your method of using it is too bad. Go to hell."

Just when the man in red was about to kill Qian Shaowei, a green light suddenly burst out from Qian Shaowei's chest and blocked the knife.

The man in red looked at the green light, took back the knife in his hand, looked at Qian Shaowei, who was so frightened by the knife that he collapsed on the ground, and said: "Second young master of the Qian family? For the sake of your father and me

The Lord has made a promise to spare your life today. In the future, watch your mouth and get out!"

After that, the man in red held a knife and dodged towards the fleeing people. His first target was the man Li Chu who was in a daze looking at Lao Mo's body but did not flee immediately.

"The bright sun's righteous energy has the power to lift mountains. The first move of Destroying Yuan Palm, destroys mountains!"

The man in red quickly flew behind Li Jie and was about to strike him with a knife. Someone behind him suddenly slapped his back with a palm. The palm was extremely powerful. The man in red suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

On the ground.
