Please calm down your anger

Chapter 53

Muke is a kind of mountain forest monster.

"Dayan Soushan Tu" records: Mu Ke's body is human-like but short, his claws and fingers are as sharp as iron hooks, climbing cliffs to support trees, like walking on flat ground, a grasp can break the skull and kill people.

This kind of little spirit will hide in the dark places of the mountains and forests, secretly observe and imitate people's speech, not only is it harmless, it can even find spirit trees in the mountains to trade with humans.

The way the transactions are done is also interesting.

As long as you gain trust with the wooden guest, the two parties will agree on a place. Humans put down iron axes, cotton cloth, salt and other goods, beat the gongs and drums, and leave. The next day, the spirit wood will be placed on the spot.

When Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, fought in the world, he traded with Muke to build a five-toothed dragon-headed ship to conquer the south, which was described as thrilling by storytellers.

"That's right..."

Hearing Wang Xuan's question, the old man in the sheepskin jacket smoked a cigarette and nodded, "We have been in the deep mountains and wild forests all year round in the business of holding treasures. Naturally, we have connections with the Muke tribe, and the Xiao family often entrusts me to exchange spiritual wood."

"This time at the Zhenbao Pavilion Shangyuan auction, a buyer asked for a thousand-year-old dragon scale wood. I asked Lord Qi for help, and went into the deep mountain to exchange with the wooden customer. Unexpectedly, I didn't hear back for three consecutive days."

"Those wooden guests thought they were hiding them in secret. In fact, the old man knew their lair, so he took the initiative to exchange them. Unexpectedly, the wooden guest had been wiped out, and he even met a famous evil cultivator, the butcher."

"You mean a butcher?!"

Guo Luquan's complexion changed, his eyes were uncertain, and he said to Wang Xuan in a deep voice: "The human butcher was originally a butcher, but after he accidentally killed someone, he fell into the rivers and lakes and joined the blood-clothed bandits. My lord, this is not an easy matter. I heard it in the hall just now. Got some news..."

After he finished speaking, Wang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean, the blood-robed bandit has come to Bingzhou?"

"Probably."

Guo Luquan said solemnly: "My lord, do you still remember An Shusheng? There is also a secret method to shuttle in the Dragon Vein Cave. It may not be impossible for the blood-clothed thief to cross the Jiulongling Mountains and come to Bingzhou."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the old man in the sheepskin jacket again, "Brother Yang, Qi Long was injured by zombies, and there must be more than one of them, Tuzi, who else did you see?"

The old man in the sheepskin coat had an indecent common name called Yang Dan. When Guo Luquan asked him, he pondered for a while and said, "At that time, it was already dark and I couldn't see clearly, but there were at least 30 people, and two young people with ghost-like faces were the ones who manipulated zombie wounds." Lord Qi... Oh, by the way, that zombie doesn't look old, but it's very fierce, and Lord Qi also mentioned Taiyin Gate."

"The Taiyin Gate..."

Guo Luquan said thoughtfully: "Those guys offended a few evil cultivators who are good at controlling corpses, and a senior zombie was taken away in the door. Could it be this one?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Xuan and said in a deep voice: "My lord, it seems that the rumors are true. Many evil cultivators in the Jianghu have joined the Bloodcloth Bandit. This matter is too big and must be reported as soon as possible."

Wang Xuan nodded, "Alright, let's set off tomorrow morning!"

He didn't want to be brave.

Judging from various information, the number of so-called blood-clothed thieves is quite large, and I am afraid that it has become a prairie fire. There are many strange things in it, which are far beyond his mere captain of the government army.

After making a plan, Bibaoren's master and apprentice also found a room to rest, Wang Xuan and Guo Luquan didn't feel sleepy for a while, so they drank and chatted in the courtyard.

Thinking about what he had seen recently, Wang Xuan couldn't help sighing: "I used to practice kung fu with my head covered, but I didn't know that the martial arts of Jianghu are so complicated, and I'm really a bit ignorant."

Guo Luquan smiled and said: "Actually, it's not complicated. I've been in the rivers and lakes for many years, so I will explain it in detail for my lord."

"Not to mention the royal family in the court, in the Jianghu, it can be roughly divided into dharma lineage and sect. The dharma lineage is mainly based on inheritance, and it cannot be separated from the three teachings, nine streams, five elements and eight works."

"For example, the Great Yan Dao School is headed by the Taiyi Sect, the Buddhism is respected by the Sumeru Sect, and the Confucianism is naturally the Shanhai Academy."

"All walks of life also have Dharma veins, such as the military family, Fengshui Yinyang family, Tsingyi Pavilion in Liyuan, the Xicaimen where tricks are played, the Yinmen where the old man is, the witch religion hidden in the countryside, the Five Immortals Hall, the thief steals the empty door, steals the door Assassin Gate..."

"The inheritance of these dharma lineages is high or low. The difference lies in whether there is a true inheritance of refining the form and refining the gods. Only with the true inheritance can there be the way, and if there is the way and the skill, it can last for a long time."

"As for sects, they can be regarded as organizations, all of which are born for profit, such as the Four Seas Gate, the Paijiao on the River, the Jinyan Pavilion for spying on information, etc..."

The old man Guo was drinking while talking, he talked about extravagantly colorful things, and occasionally inserted some anecdotes about the world, Wang Xuan also listened with great interest, without any sleepiness.

Suddenly, Ah Fu, who was lying on the ground, moved his ears, stood up abruptly, and made a snoring sound.

Wang Xuan's complexion sank: "There is a large amount of murderous intent coming from the north, and they all got up to copy guys, Mr. Guo, go and inform the shopkeeper!"

"Tonight, I'm afraid there will be big trouble..."

.........

Boom boom boom!
The hasty knock on the door woke up everyone in the Jin family class.

"Who?!"

The strong man Chunsheng held down the weapon and said in a low voice, and the others were also on guard.

The rivers and lakes are dangerous, even though they are in the Four Seas Inn, they still rent a Datong shop, sleep with their clothes on, men and women are separated, and the room is full of sweat.

Walking in the rivers and lakes has never been an enjoyment.

The waiter's hurried voice came from outside the door, "Everyone, there are monsters attacking, the shopkeeper told everyone to gather in the hall to defend against powerful enemies."

Everyone suddenly changed color and looked at each other.

The Four Seas Inn itself has guards, and it needs guests to defend against the enemy together, so it's not like ordinary thieves come here.

The leader of the class, Jin Baichuan, had doubts in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Copy guy, Duling wake up, listen to the teacher's orders, and adapt to the situation!"

"Yes, Master!"

A group of people went out of the room, and saw people coming out of the doors of each corridor, and there were no less than a hundred people gathered in the hall, which was chaotic and noisy.

Jin Jiaban and the others exchanged compliments and also came to the hall.

Naturally, Wang Xuan also arrived with his subordinates, standing with guns in hand, while Guo Luquan beside him was also whispering to the shopkeeper.

"Master, it's the dog officer..."

The strong man Chunsheng's complexion changed, and he was interrupted by Jin Baichuan's stare after he had just spoken half a sentence.

Naturally, Wang Xuan also noticed the members of the Jin Family Squad, but he ignored them and looked towards the group of people coming out from the left.

They are the other guests in the courtyard above.

And they are acquaintances.

One group was Lieutenant Meng Xiong of the Zhenxie Prefecture Military Academy in Shanyin County and several subordinates, and the other was a handsome-looking middle-aged man in a white robe, followed by two servants.

Meng Xiong stood sideways beside the middle-aged man in white robe, with a respectful and ingratiating face, obviously they knew each other.

"Hey, Captain Wang, what a coincidence."

Seeing Wang Xuan, Meng Xiong's eyes were flickering, he squeezed a smile on his face and cupped his hands: "Lieutenant Wang is also going to report on his duties, do you know what happened?"

"There is a monster attacking, it is probably a blood-robed thief."

Wang Xuan's face was calm, but he realized something in his heart.

This guy also went to Fucheng ahead of time, obviously knowing a lot of inside information, and the middle-aged man, whose identity is probably unusual.

"Blood Robe?!"

The whole hall suddenly exploded.

Some looked skeptical, others terrified.

The hall was not full of people from the rivers and lakes, there were also some family members who followed the caravan. Some merchants looked blank, and some women held children with pale faces.

The white-robed middle-aged man also changed his face, and said sharply: "The blood-clothed bandit is far away in Huaizhou, where did you get the news, is it just nonsense?"

fool!

Wang Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he didn't bother to pay attention.

The shopkeeper of the Four Seas Gate inn stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Guan Zhao, Captain Wang's words are true, Mr. Qi from Jing Yaosi saw it with his own eyes..."

After a brief narration, he said in a deep voice: "I have sent my men to investigate, but I haven't sent back any news so far. I am afraid that I have been killed."

When it comes to the inn and its surroundings, no one can compare to the shopkeeper, so after he finished speaking, no one doubted it anymore.

"Human butcher? And evil cultivators..."

The middle-aged man Zhao Guanshi's expression changed again and again, and he said harshly: "It must be the idiot of Yaosi Jing who caused the disaster, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Meng Xiong, let's go!"

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

It was not Meng Xiong who agreed first, but several caravan guards, who rushed out without saying a word, leaving behind the businessmen and customers whose expressions changed drastically.

In the face of the catastrophe, the morality of the rivers and lakes has become nonsense.

Zhang Heng's face was ugly, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, these guys are not united, and they can't organize resistance at all. What should we do?"

Wang Xuan's expression was calm and he didn't speak, but suddenly turned his head, stared fixedly at the shopkeeper's fellows, and said coldly: "They can't leave at all, can they?"

"There are traitors!"

As soon as the shopkeeper's face changed, he waved his hand and grabbed a few of the guys. His sharp claws were like the wind, and the wind whizzed up. It was obvious that he had a lot of skill.

"whee……"

The other guys were swept out by the palm wind, only one guy escaped easily and jumped up to the second floor like a ghost.

Although he has a man's figure, his movements are charming like a woman's. Sitting on the railing, his legs are dangling leisurely, and his voice has become a charming female voice: "You little captain is interesting, how did you find me?" ?”

Wang Xuan's face was calm: "I didn't find out, it was just a trick..."
