But in the rivers and lakes

Mu Baichuan glanced at him before turning his eyes on Shen Yun. In the night, those half-closed eyes became sharper against the firelight, and he said calmly: "Thank you, Daxia Shen, for helping me and Yun Yun." Choose to find the antidote."

Even in front of this Jianghu senior, Shen Yun still looked calm, and just cupped his hands and said: "Master Mu, you are too polite, I am no more than an idler in the world, and in front of Master Mu, I absolutely cannot bear the word 'Xia'."

Mu Baichuan twitched the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were still cold: "Nephew followed after him, I wonder if the Scarlet Firmament Sword can be found?"

Mu Yunze was afraid that Mu Baichuan might misunderstand, so before Shen Yun could speak, he explained: "The woman has other accomplices approaching outside the village, Master Ciyuan and Brother Shen both fell into her plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Chi Xiaojian The whereabouts are still unknown, but according to what Brother Shen said, Master Ciyuan has gone to look for the woman's trace, presumably there will be clues in the near future."

Mu Baichuan's scrutinizing eyes turned to Shen Yun, as if he wanted to find the slightest strangeness on that calm face, but it was a pity that there was nothing special about that face except for a gentle smile and a lazy expression.Mu Baichuan withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "Everyone in the world says that Shen Yun, a ranger, doesn't like to meddle in business, and what he doesn't want to join in is the excitement, but he doesn't know why he came to my Wuxia Villa? Could it be that nephew Shen Yun wanted to do it at the Legend of Sword Conference?" What do you want?"

The meaning of his words is very obvious, even if Mu Yun chose to listen in, he was very embarrassed. Just as he was about to speak for Shen Yun, Shen Yun smiled and said first: "I don't want to hide the truth from the owner, I am indeed here for the bounty." Come." He didn't directly refute Mu Baichuan's words, firstly because the other party was Mu Yunze's father after all, and secondly because Zhu Ba's goal was Chixiaojian, if he said that he had nothing to do with Chixiaojian, it would be a bit exaggerated.

Right or wrong, Shen Yun has always been clear in his heart.No one can stop what he wants to do, and no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do. He will only walk the path he chooses, even if that path is far from the end.

The corner of Mu Baichuan's mouth curled up into a smile, under the light of the sky, there was still no warmth at all: "So that's the case, but nephew Shen Xian, who is in trouble, chased after the sword and sent the antidote back to the village."

Shen Yun knew that he didn't believe it, so he just smiled and didn't bother to explain further.Seeing that the fire was much smaller, and the smoke was billowing, Mu Yun chose to stop a disciple who was going to put out the fire and asked, "Is there anyone in the room?"

The disciple's face was black and gray, and he gasped and said: "Go back to Master Shao, everyone has already withdrawn from the house, and there are no casualties."

Mu Yun chose to be more relaxed, nodded and said: "That's good, you also need to be careful, don't risk breaking in because of the things in this room."

Hearing this, Shen Yun couldn't help casting his eyes over. Under the firelight, Mu Yunze's face, which had just met a serious illness, was still a little pale. His anxious eyes kept staring at the house engulfed by billowing smoke, and Mu Baichuan, who was expressionless beside him Form a stark counterpart.Shen Yun still remembers that during the Sword Passing Conference, Mu Yun chose to be injured by a hidden weapon, but as a father, Mu Baichuan remained indifferent, and only cared about the progress of the Sword Transfer Conference, or, what he cared about was Wuxia Villa. fame.They are obviously father and son, but their tempers and personalities are completely different. I don't know where Mu Yunxuan got his soft-hearted temper...

Shen Yun sighed slightly, and said: "Young Master Mu, I will take my leave first, and I will definitely find a way to achieve what I promised just now."

Mu Yun chose to cup his hands gratefully and said: "Then I will be in trouble, Brother Chen."

Shen Yun cupped his fists to bid farewell to the two of them, then turned and left.Mu Yunxuan's eyes followed him and disappeared outside the courtyard, his frown was slightly worried. He knew that Shen Yun could stay out of this matter and not interfere with this troublesome matter, but since he made the promise, he would not break the contract. There are more than thousands of people coveting the Scarlet Firmament Sword, can he really be safe and sound?

Mu Baichuan asked calmly, "Yun Ze, did the villa send him an invitation?"

Mu Yunxuan paused, and shook his head, which made Mu Baichuan's face even more ugly: "This person has a deep scheming, hidden but not revealed, don't trust him."

Mu Yunxuan originally wanted to explain to Shen Yun again, but after a moment of pause, he felt that there was something strange about this matter, and finally just changed the topic: "Father, how did this fire start?"

Before Mu Baichuan could speak, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly came from the roof. The figure stood in the night. Although he couldn't see his real appearance, judging from his figure and the gleaming golden knife in his hand, he was clearly The "flying on the grass" Zhu Ba who went back and forth!He laughed a few times, and said loudly: "Since I didn't get the Chixiao Sword, at least I have to leave some thoughts for you, Master Mu, you are quite satisfied with this gift!"

How could Mu Baichuan allow these rats to provoke Wuxia Villa here, and shouted angrily: "You dog thief, let's see where you are going!" After saying that, he wanted to jump on the roof to chase after him, but he was much more poisoned than Zhu Ba, Although he took the antidote, but the true qi hadn't flowed through yet, he felt a sharp pain in his chest under the strength, so he had to stop his steps.

Mu Yunze quickly supported him, Zhu Ba's figure flashed, only the voice came from a distance: "I will not give up the Chixiao Sword, we will meet later!"

Having encountered these several accidents in one day, Mu Baichuan's face was already ashen, and Mu Yunze comforted him: "Father, I believe that with Master Ciyuan's ability, he will find the whereabouts of Chixiaojian soon." He concealed the truth from Shen Yun. The matter of going to Akasaka Sword is afraid of causing Mu Baichuan's misunderstanding again.

Mu Baichuan sighed and said: "The Chixiao Sword is the treasure of my Wuxia Villa town house. If I don't find it for a day, I will have no face to see the ancestors of the Mu family!"

Mu Yunze repented: "In the end, I took it lightly and asked a woman to snatch the sword out of thin air."

Mu Baichuan pondered for a moment and said: "That woman is not weak, especially light kung fu, you should find a way to find out her identity as soon as possible."

Mu Yunze nodded and said, "I have sent someone to look for her whereabouts. As soon as there is news, I will send it back to the village."

All that can be done has been done, and all that is left is to wait. The gloomy look on Mu Baichuan's face did not ease, he just shook his head and sighed, and left here.The fire was gradually extinguished, leaving only thick smoke billowing in the night, the disciples were doing the final cleanup, Mu Yunze looked at the ruins all over the ground, and his mood fell to the bottom.

No matter how careful he was, the Akasaka Sword was lost in the end.

When Shen Yun returned to the small courtyard in the alley, Xiao Chen was not in the house. He closed his clothes on the couch and lay down, tossing and turning all night without feeling sleepy.I don't know how long it took, Dongfang gradually showed a fishy belly, he simply got up and went to the courtyard to wash his face with cold water.This early spring morning was windy and cold, and the dew was heavy, and the water was as cold as a knife cut on his face. He wiped a few indiscriminately, and his spirit was somewhat clearer.

Xiao Chen has not come back yet, Shen Yun never asked his whereabouts, because he believed that if Xiao Chen needed his help, he would never be polite to him.

The sky is not clear yet, and there are already shops on the street preparing to open for business. A seemingly unknown gloom enveloped the world. Shen Yun was walking on the empty street, and the Happy Building was about to close for business. A few coquettishly dressed women were chatting at the door , Seeing him approaching, he still did not forget to throw a few winks.Shen Yun was a little embarrassed, and walked straight out of the city. He promised Mu Yun that he would go to find the whereabouts of the Chixiao Sword, and he still had to do it, although he didn't have a clue now.

Wuxi City is located in the south, and the climate is warm and mild. Although the green onions in the suburbs are not as beautiful as the ten miles of peach forests, the faint pinks and bright reds peeking out from the myriad of bright greens are also very beautiful.Shen Yun's heart was agitated, and he drew his sword and swung it past, but saw the sword light and flying rainbow, flowing clouds and flowing water, shaking off countless green leaves, and wandering in the air with the amazing sword energy.

He has always been free and easy, he is afraid of restraint, and never allows himself to be restrained.

He has been to many places, from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, from inside the pass to outside the pass, and he has met many women who are as tender as water. They have the same touching eyes and gentle whispers. They always say they are willing to accompany him to wander the world, but At that time, he always escaped faster than the rabbit.

In fact, many years ago, he also met a girl who was attracted to him. The girl took his hand and asked him if he would like to stay in the grassland to accompany her to herd horses and sheep.Shen Yun fantasized that he would put on the fancy clothes of the herdsmen and drive away the flocks of sheep that could not be seen from the head with a whip that was one foot long. When it was dark, he would get into the yurt and drink sweet and sour goat's milk wine. Watching the child playing and playing next to him, while the beautiful wife sat under the lamp and sewed the boots for him tomorrow.

This may be the peaceful life that many ordinary people yearn for, but it makes Shen Yun feel unprecedentedly oppressed.From that moment on, he knew that the life he wanted to live was the love and hatred of Jianghu. Maybe one day, when he was tired of this kind of intrigue, he would choose a quiet place to hide from the world, but it was definitely not now.

So, he's gone.

He left the girl all the rewards he got this time, and he said, the money is too heavy to carry, so I will leave it here to buy you a few more good horses.

The girl's beautiful eyes were full of tears, she pulled his sleeve and asked, will you come back?

return?

No, he won't be coming back.

He thought that the only thing he could do now was to stop thinking about the girl, so he shook his head resolutely, without even looking back.The girl's eyes must be very sad, and her tears must have hurt the green grass under her feet, but she must be living a very peaceful and happy life now.

Because, she did not marry Shen Yun.

Because Shen Yun is a prodigal son, and a prodigal son will not be a good husband.

In this world, the word love is the most untainted, and the debt of love is the most unrepayable. Since then, Shen Yun has firmly told himself that if you can't afford it, hide it, and if you can't hide it, run away. If you don't have the heart to retreat, you will never make promises lightly.

He could hide this time, as long as he wanted, he could stay out of it.But when he saw the sadness in those warm and jade-like pupils, the principles he had insisted on suddenly collapsed, and he took the initiative to do the most avoidable thing, he thought, he must be crazy.

Fallen leaves fell colorfully in the dancing sword light, and in the gap of sight, a figure gradually appeared, dressed in red and white, dancing in the wind, walking slowly like an exile.
