Chapter 172 A chance encounter in a mountain village
Time flies, like a flash of time, and more than a month passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Mu Li forgot everything and just stayed with Mu Qingyue.
Until that morning, Mu Li, who came back from morning exercise, saw Mu Qingyue packed up the package for him.
"Mom, are you?" Mu Li guessed it in his heart, but he still said reluctantly.
"I am very happy and like it very much these days. However, I think you are a little restless these two days, so I must be planning to leave." Mu Qingyue smiled lovingly.
"I..." Mu Li didn't know what to say.
"Silly child, you have your ideas, and my mother doesn't want to restrain you. I am happiest to be able to grow up well with your sister." Mu Qingyue said with a little reluctant look on her eyes.
However, Mu Qingyue knew that Mu Li was going to leave at all times, so she had to resist the reluctance in her heart and help her child make this decision.
After a calm breakfast, Mu Li and Mu Qingyue did not walk away from home like before. Only Mu Li left the Mu family alone with a small package.
Mu Li returned home for more than a month, and no one even noticed him except for a few people with ulterior motives, just like in the past ten years.
He did not show his current strength, but just calmly accompanied Mu Qingyue and turned back to the little boy he used to be.
…………
As soon as he left Nanmu City, he spent some gold coins and bought an ordinary carriage, Mu Li slowly headed towards Nanli City, the capital of Nanli.
A few days later, a slow carriage drove on the quiet mountain path, walking in a hurry.
A young man in the car was practicing some skills attentively, which was Mu Li, who had long been far away from Nanmu City.
"You kid, you look lazy at home, but when you leave home, you are bothered by the old man who teaches you this and that." Old Yu blamed him, but in fact he spoke a little bored.
Upon hearing this, Mu Li put away the skills of using the power he was exploring, sat at the entrance of the carriage, and gently hit the horse that was slowing down, making the carriage faster.
"What I said is, however, I have worked hard to be worthy of my senior's guidance." Mu Li followed Mr. Yu's words and started chatting like this.
There was nothing wrong with it all the way, and it was like this kind of wilderness. In addition to practicing, Mu Li also talked to the old man about the time of gangsters.
"By the way, Mr. Yu. You always ask me to specialize in the basic methods of sword formations, but why don't you pass on me a set of sword formations? I think I have some basics now," as they said, the conversation between the two always talked about cultivation.
"Boy, you're just anxious. I'm not in a hurry? The complete sword formation needs to be at least used to the Gu Ling Realm. It's not like you." Old Yu said slowly.
"This junior has heard of it, but it is always good to be familiar with it in advance." Mu Li was still a little unwilling to accept it.
"Okay, okay. You kid also understands that the gap between the Tianling Stage and the Guling Realm is an essential change. If you fail to meet the conditions for practicing, you will be bad if you force yourself to come into contact with advanced skills."
"Besides, I was not a sword formation for my practice back then. I would rather go to Nanli City and find you a suitable martial arts to study." Old Yu was not dissatisfied with Mu Li's thoughts, and explained patiently.
"The martial arts in Nanli City..."
"Why, you kid still doesn't look down on it. Although many forces there are only three changes, they have strong backgrounds behind them. Maybe there are powerful martial arts circulating." Seeing Mu Li's appearance, Yu Lao couldn't help but kindly warn him.
"Old Yu, I'm not..." Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, Mu Li no longer forced himself.
However, at this moment, the faint sound of fighting interrupted Mu Li's words and made him suddenly alert.
"Old Yu, there is movement, it seems that someone is fighting." After listening to it, Mu Li said with a serious expression.
Because in order to prevent the passage of original power, the old man sealed himself to the greatest extent. Therefore, Mr. Yu's sense of external world is not as good as Mu Li now, and Mu Li needs to inquire about many things.
"There are no powerful monsters in this wilderness. I think it's a grudge and revenge! However, I'm afraid we will be implicated, so I'd better check it out carefully to see if we can leave safely." Old Yu was not worried at all.
Mu Li thought it was true that ordinary fights were fine, but if he was lucky, it would be bad if he encountered someone silence him. It would be better to check the situation between the two sides first.
Mu Li immediately restrained his breath, sneaked away, and knocked out a guarded masked man from Lingtu.
I saw a long-destroyed ancient village in deep mountains, and there were sounds of fighting from time to time. Outside the village, dozens of men in black, holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, guarding several roads out of the village.
Mu Li looked at the dress of these people, his heart relaxed a little, and said, "It seems that it is a bandit robber, so he shouldn't worry about me."
There are no less than a hundred bandits here, mainly in the Spiritual Envoy Period, but there are also some spiritual people in the Earth Spirit Period and the Heaven Spirit Period, which is quite a powerful force.
"This seems to be the intersection of Hanshui County and Nanyue County. Some bandits are normal. We should cause less trouble and leave like this!" Mr. Yu said indifferently, without any intention of interfering.
Mu Li had no objection to this. After confirming the other party's identity and purpose, he would leave quietly again.
However, when Mu Li looked at the abandoned carriages and horses outside the village and the clothes on the dead guard, he stopped again thinking.
The village is deserted for many years and is full of dilapidated buildings. Today, these abandoned buildings are stained with blood.
Behind a dilapidated wall, several spiritual people who were covered with blood from the enemy and had a little scattered breath were carefully looking around.
These small groups of about ten people are all spiritual people above the Earth Spirit Stage, and two of them are from the Heaven Spirit Stage, but now they all look tired and embarrassed.
"Brother Wang Jiu, they retreated again. They attacked eight times in less than two hours, obviously trying to drag us down. If this continues, we will not need to attack the opponent's masters, and our bodies will also collapse." Among the two Heavenly Spiritual Spirits, a young man less than 30 years old said to the other middle-aged man in his forties.
The middle-aged aura was also a little scattered. He frowned and looked around, but he still calmly held his breath, faintly supporting everyone so that everyone would not act randomly.
"Don't worry, the other party just wants to make us messy, and fortunately, we are robbed and killed outside. Wait, maybe there is still a chance." Wang Jiu looked at the man in black who was retreating to the outside of the village and comforted everyone beside him.
"Brother Wang Jiu, the opponent's attacks in turn will not fight us head-on every time. He just shoots from afar, just to drag us to death. It's better to take advantage of the strength to break through desperately, and maybe there is still a chance of winning." The young man said with a little shaken expression.
With the strength of the young man and the middle-aged man in the Tianling Stage, the two joined forces, even if the other party had a large number of crossbows in their hands, they would have a high chance of escaping.
"Wait a little longer." Wang Jiu naturally knew the young man's plan in his heart, but after looking at the only girl in the team, he shook his head and refused.
Looking at the hesitation in Wang Jiu's eyes, the young man Jin Yiming also glanced at the girl. Although he was dissatisfied, he opened his mouth, as if he was concerned about something, but in the end he still said nothing.
"Okay, the other party's people will attack again soon. You must protect yourself. I will take the opportunity to kill a few people. Jin Yiming, be careful to take them with you and don't let the other party's masters take advantage of the loopholes." Wang Jiu pointed to a building and issued a new order.
…………
Outside the village, among a small group of elite spiritists, three men in black from the Tianling period were coldly watching the movements in the deserted village.
"Brother, the young men have been harassing them for an hour or two. Why don't you let me lead the team to kill in, slaughter them, and bring the goods back." A strong man with a scar on his face said impatiently.
"Third brother, how many times have I said, be calm and learn more from my second brother." The leader was a strong man in his forties, with a calm and restrained aura, looking at the changes inside with his eyes open and thoughtful eyes.
"What the big brother said is, don't forget that the guys in the Earth Spirit Stage and the Heaven Spirit Stage are all guys in the Earth Spirit Stage. It's hard to deal with it if they fight to the death. The leader's strength is no less than that of the big brother. If it weren't for the big brother's actions just now, you might have been careless and removed by that person. It's better to be calmer." The remaining man was a little thin, with a hint of cunning expression in his expression.
The scar man showed dissatisfaction when he was exposed, but when he thought of the previous danger, he was still very afraid and stopped complaining.
"Brother, it seems that they want to break through until night." The thin man said as he listened to the sound in the village.
The calm man was not surprised and said indifferently: "If I could do this, it would be unfavorable to the performance of crossbows at night, and these ordinary men would not have much threat. With their strength, breaking through at night is a good choice, but they also need to have the energy to persevere until then."
"Report, report to the three leaders. The squad that had just entered the village to harass was attacked by the other party and was almost wiped out." Just as the three of them were chatting, a small leader ran over in a hurry.
What surprised this little boss was that the boss, who originally thought he would be angry, was not only not angry at all, but also looked very satisfied.
"It seems that the other party can't sit still anymore and starts to risk killing our combat power. Those who have such lethality are probably those two guys from the Tianling Stage."
"Third brother, don't you want to fight? Come into the village with me, but don't be allowed to do anything randomly. Second brother, just sit in the back. If the opponent takes the opportunity to break through, don't be anxious. Wait until we meet again before chasing them. They don't have horses, so they can't escape." Seeing that the enemy was beginning to get anxious, the man still explained calmly.
Then, under the leadership of the two leaders, many teams of the Earth Spirit Stage and Spirit Stage were gathered, and they slowly but highly alertly entered the deserted village.
