Chapter 23 Earth Yin Magic Tome
Same as last time, Xu Mu cleaned up the weeds on the graves of his parents and fellow villagers, and after worshiping one by one, he went to the old site of Lengjia Village to look for clues that he might have missed.But time has changed, and this time, like last time, he didn't find any useful clues.

Xu Mu found a cave in the back mountain of Lengjia Village and lived in it.Going to try my luck.Let's see if the enemy who killed his parents will show up here after Hua Linglong spread the rumor that "Earth Yin Demon's Tome" will appear in Lengjia Village.

Xu Mu stayed in the mountains for more than a month, but he never saw anyone coming here.The dry food that Xu Mu brought has already been eaten up, and recently he has been eating wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.It has already made him have a stomachache for several days.

The vicinity of Lengjia Village is not considered a deep mountain.So there are not many prey.And he had the experience of being discovered with Zhu Qingyun before, so he no longer dared to start another fire, because he was afraid that the fire and smoke would be discovered by the enemy and missed the opportunity.

Xu Mu was very puzzled.If other people who coveted the "Earth Yin Demon's Tome" didn't know the exact location of Lengjia Village, it is understandable that they couldn't find it.But the gang of thieves who killed their own parents and set fire to the Lengjia Village shouldn't know about it?Could it be that their purpose of killing their parents and going on a blind date was not for the "Earth Yin Magic Code".But because of something else?Or did Hua Linglong not spread the news, or did those enemies not get the news?

But waiting like this is not an option.His stomach had been protesting against him for days.And he had nowhere to shower these days.His body already stinks.And the swordsman uniform that Zhu Qingyun personally sewed for him was already filthy.He must go to the city, and find an inn to take a good bath.Just ask someone to do the laundry.

Thinking of this, Xu Mu left the cave, intending to go to the nearest town to Xumu Village to rest for one night, and to buy some dry food back. Word spread.

As soon as Xu Mu left Leng's Village, he realized that someone was following him.He deliberately pretended not to know, and continued to walk forward, intending to see who was following him.But along the way, the person who was following him seemed to be gone, and he never showed up.

Xu Mu still didn't go to Tianwei City, because Tianwei City is still two days away from Lengjia Village, and the time to go back and forth is too long.He came to a small town called Wei'an Town.The town isn't too big, but it's not too small either.Because it is on the main road to Tianwei City, the town is quite prosperous, and there are many taverns and inns.

Mr. Xu Mu came to a tavern. Although he didn't like drinking very much, this was the experience Hua Linglong taught him, and the tavern was the place with the best information.

Xu Mu ordered a jug of wine and a few dishes of side dishes.There are both meat and vegetable side dishes, and it is also a pleasure to drink with fine wine.While enjoying the "food" that he hadn't tasted for a long time, Xu Mu listened to the chats of the drinkers around him.

Sure enough, Hua Linglong had spread the news about "Earth Yin Demon's Tome", and the drinkers at several tables would mention it in passing when chatting.However, this "Earth Yin Demon's Code" is also considered one of the taboos in the Tianshen Continent, so they are scruples when talking about it, most of them just mention it in passing, and there is no real discussion.

Xu Mu didn't get much news that he wanted, but he always felt that someone was staring at him.Xu Mu guessed that it was the person who had been following him since Lengjia Village.But that person hid it very well, and I never found his trace.

After drinking and eating, the sky gradually darkened.Xu Mu got up and walked into an inn near the tavern.Xu Mu booked an upper room, and after entering the room, he just wanted to sleep well, because he hadn't slept on a soft bed for more than a month.

But just as Xu Mu lay down, there was a knock on the door.Xu Mu was very angry, and asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

"I'm the guest officer. Someone here has sent you a letter. Please read it?"

Xu Mu could hear that the person outside was the voice of the shop assistant who led him upstairs just now.But he felt very strange, he didn't know anyone here, how could someone send a message to him?

Xu Mu thought again, could it be the person who has been following him?

Thinking of this, Xu Mu "Gu Lu" turned over from the bed, went forward and opened the door of the room.

The person standing outside the door was indeed the inn clerk. Seeing Xu Mu opened the door, he respectfully handed a letter in his hand to Xu Mu with both hands.

Xu Mu took the letter, took out a few celestial coins and threw them to the guy as a tip, so happy that the guy thanked him repeatedly.

Xu Mu opened the letter, took out the letter paper inside and opened it, only to find that there were only a few words written on it.

"At three o'clock tonight, see you at the mass grave outside the town!"

There was no title at the top and no signature at the bottom, so Xu Mu had no idea who gave him the letter.But after reading the contents of the letter, Xu Mu reminded him of Mo Fan.He secretly thought it was funny, and thought in his heart: "Why do these people like to stay at the mass graves as long as they send letters and invites? If they meet someone who is too timid to go, wouldn't their letter be given away for nothing?"

Xu Mu's worries were obviously unnecessary.The purpose of meeting at the mass grave is to make it a place where strangers are not allowed to enter, and no one will disturb.People who practice martial arts are skilled and bold, so of course they won't be scared off by a few lonely graves or bones.Therefore, this mass grave is indeed a good place for sectarians to invite each other, but also want to avoid people's eyes.

The third watch is about to dawn, and it is still early from now.Xu Mu put the faith into his arms, then lay down with his clothes on, and fell asleep soundly on the soft bed.

After the second watch, Xu Mu turned over and sat up.He opened the window and looked out, seeing that it was almost time, so he packed up his luggage and prepared to go to the appointment.

Xu Mu didn't go through the main entrance because he thought it was troublesome.To get out of the main entrance, you have to go down the stairs, and then you have to ask the boss to open the door.So Xu Mu chose to jump out of the window directly, which is convenient and fast.During the day, he had already asked the inn clerk where the mass grave was. After jumping out of the window, Xu Mu found the direction and rushed towards the mass grave outside the town.

As soon as Xu Mu arrived at the mass grave, he heard the sound of gold and iron clanging from the hill, obviously someone was fighting on the mass grave.
