Self-denial System [Rebirth]

At the foot of the mountain, the branches are flourishing and the grass is green, and the swallows are singing.Under a tree of dense flowers, the sound of lingling is as light as the fragrance of flowers, spreading leisurely in the forest.The sound of the piano is as light as pearls falling on a jade plate, or spring water jingling, with a gentle and mellow lingering sound.

The dark brown fir guqin is stretched across the white clothes, and the slender knuckles are twitching lightly, as if dancing among the seven silver threads.

"Sister, when are we going back?" Standing beside the sonata was a girl, about eleven or twelve years old, holding a basket of wild fruits and nuts in her hand.

The woman playing the qin stopped her movements when she heard the words, the sound of the qin suddenly stopped, but the lingering sound did not disappear.

"We'll go back when the clock rings on the peak." The woman replied softly without looking up.

With a light twist of the fingers, the unvoiced sound rises again, and the easy-going wind blows all over the mountains and forests, surrounding it euphemistically.The breeze blows over the bamboo leaves, and the rustling sound is continuous, like waves undulating, layer upon layer.

Seeing this, the girl at the side had no choice but to put the basket in her hand on the ground, and sat down with her legs crossed.After sitting for a while, I picked up a piano score from the few books scattered on the ground, flipped through a few pages, felt bored, shook my head again, and put it back.

"Aren't sisters never interested in piano art? Why did you suddenly become interested in Xiqin?" The girl curled her lips, blinked her eyes twice, moved closer to the people around her, and said, "I have a sweetheart, Do you want to play a song to show your lovesickness?"

The woman's fingertips trembled, and Qingling's voice was out of tune.

She frowned slightly: "Don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, the girl reluctantly straightened up and sat down, hugged her legs and shook back and forth, pouted and said, "Since it's not, then let's go back, Wuwu will starve to death any later."

The woman heard her acting coquettishly, so she had to stop playing again, put away the piano slowly, got up and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you care more about that squirrel than I do. Go back, let's go."

The girl immediately jumped up from the ground when she heard the words, packed up the things on the ground, threw them into the basket, and followed the woman up the mountain.

The winding mountain roads are all made of stone steps made of natural stones.The girl kept her hands on the journey, picked up a lot of wild flowers and weeds and threw them into the basket, muttering: "Maybe Wuwu can eat these too..."

While muttering softly, she was about to reach out to pick a shamrock, the woman in white turned around and gently pinched her wrist, her tone was still soft, but there was a trace of reproach: "How can a squirrel eat flowers and plants, don't Destroy the vegetation again."

"Oh, okay." The girl pursed her lips and retracted her hands.

"Sister, why doesn't Da Wu come to see his little Wu Wu?" The girl picked out the broken grass in the basket and threw it away, her tone a little unhappy, "It's been a year, he won't forget Wu Wu Clean it up."

The woman in white stopped walking when she heard the words, and tapped her head with her fingers: "Don't be rude, no big or small."

The girl immediately felt aggrieved: "Why am I being unreasonable? He was the one who asked me to call him Dawu when he sent Xiaowu..."

The woman became slightly serious when she heard the words: "He always likes to joke, are you joking too? It's not proper."

"Oh, well, stop barking, stop barking." The girl quickly shrank her head to avoid the woman's gesture to knock her hand again, and ran two steps forward, "Uncle, uncle, it's okay."

The woman withdrew her hand and said helplessly, "Look at the road."

The girl didn't care about her feet, she turned around and walked back towards the woman, gently picking up the basket in her hand with one finger, shaking it back and forth, "Uncle, are you busy getting married and forget about Xiaowu and us?" later?"

The woman paused, held the qin in her arms and said nothing, only after a long while said dully: "I don't know."

"Sister, you don't even know about this? I heard that Cangxue Mountain has sent out wedding invitations to all the sects under it!" The basket in the girl's hand almost flew up.

"Okay." The woman interrupted her abruptly, and said in a bad tone, "Only idlers are happy to spread such nonsense. We are almost at the gate of the mountain. Go and undo the illusion."

When the girl heard that she was going to solve the illusion by herself this time, she immediately beamed with joy, and ran to the boulder next to the ink pool, put the basket in her hand aside, and took out her own knife from her waist.

It's just that before the girl dropped the tip of the knife on the stone surface, she suddenly reached out to touch the stone surface with some doubts, and then looked back.

"What's wrong? Forgot how to draw again?" The woman stepped forward and smiled.

"No, I haven't forgotten." The girl said unconvinced, "I...I just think today's big rock is a bit strange..."

The woman in white came closer, carefully looked at the lines on the rock, stretched out her hand to touch it lightly, and her eyes instantly sank.

"Yinghan, don't go in first." The woman's fingertips flashed white light quickly, and carved a series of continuous lines on the stone surface. At that moment, the fog dissipated, and the houses and courtyards in the distance faintly appeared.

The woman in white put the xylophone in her arms on her back, and took out a long sword from her waist.

"Sister...what's the matter..." The girl still didn't know why.

The woman in white made a gesture of "Shut up and don't move" to her, and raised her eyes to look forward. The vegetation ahead was still lush and green.The woman then took a few steps forward lightly and stopped.

"Who are you?" The woman in white asked in the forest.

No one answered.

The girl was even more confused at this moment, she couldn't understand the situation, but she didn't dare to run forward, so she just stood obediently beside the stone.

After a moment of silence, the leaves in front of the two made a slight sound, and a man in black fell from the tree to the ground.

Black clothes and hats, and black gauze concealed his appearance.

The woman in white drew out her long sword and protected the girl behind her: "Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, the girl who was protected by her seemed to be startled suddenly, not only did not listen to her words and stayed obediently, but instead bypassed her hand that was trying to protect her, and rushed out between the confronting two people .

The woman in white was startled, and it was too late to call her back, so she stopped asking and raised her sword to greet her.

Just as he raised the sword in his hand, he saw the girl hugging the waist of the man in black and shouting, "Dawu, you are finally here!"

The woman in white was taken aback when she heard the words, and stopped in her steps.

The man pulled off the girl's two hands that were clasped tightly on his body, squatted down, lifted the scarf on the bamboo hat, smiled and said, "How is it? Did Xiaowu let you die?"

When the girl heard this, the bright smile on her face disappeared immediately, she frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "Did you ask that? What do you mean by raising it to death? Do you really want it to die!"

The man said: "Ah, no, of course I don't want it to die, but it's a miracle that it can survive until now in your hands."

"You..." The girl seemed very annoyed when she heard this, her face flushed.

"Yinghan! Don't be rude, use honorifics!" The woman in white put away her sword and stepped forward.

"Sister, you still have the nerve to call me rude, but you drew your sword just now!"

When the woman in white heard the words, her fair cheeks were faintly reddish, she lowered her head and said, "I didn't recognize my adoptive father just now, I thought someone had sneaked into Mochi Peak..."

The girl said: "Sister, why can't you recognize it? When Dawu came to see Xiaowu a year ago, he was all in black! So the little black squirrel is called Xiaowu and he is called Dawu!"

"It's okay, you must be cautious." The man stood up from the ground, and then smiled again, "Besides, you Feishu asked me to come and learn piano skills with you."

The girl laughed: "Aha! So that's the case! I said why my sister practiced that broken piano every day. It turned out that she was trying to trick Da Wu!"

The woman in white blushed, and said in a low voice, "How did you trick me...I really want to ask my adoptive father to teach me a little bit..."

Hearing this, the man still smiled: "I'm a new learner myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you, but it's okay to listen to you. If you really want to learn, you can come to Cangxue Mountain and let Miss Qiyue teach you when you have time."

When the woman heard the words, she lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, then remembered something, raised her head and said: "That's right, adoptive father...why does foster father undo Mo Chifeng's illusion..."

The man paused for a moment without answering, picked up the basket that the girl had just put down from the ground, dialed it, took out a few pine nuts, looked at it, and threw it to the girl: "This one is good for Wuwu."

After speaking, he turned around and smiled at Li Zhiluo: "Your aunt taught me."

Li Zhiluo's expression darkened suddenly after hearing these two words.

Seeing this, the man then changed the subject and said, "Don't blame me for coming in privately. I have been here for three or four hours. From the dawn to the sunset, I didn't see anyone coming out, so I had to go in by myself. .I swear, I really just lay down on the tree at the door for a while, and never went inside..."

"Da Wu quickly come in with me, Xiao Wu misses you very much now." The girl grabbed his sleeve and dragged him inside.

The man was surprised: "Huh? It will miss me?"

The girl said: "Of course I think about it. You brought it as a gift to me. You fed it before. You are its father."

The man said: "No, I caught it on the road."

"You..." The girl froze for a moment, then instantly returned to her angry look, speechless.

Li Zhiluo smiled and said, "Father, she just wants to keep you for a while."

"Why keep him! I don't want to keep him! Let him go quickly!" The girl still shouted angrily.

Xu Mu squatted down when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Yo, you have a bad temper, so you're angry?"

The girl's face was puffy and she didn't speak.

Xu Mu said slowly: "A year ago, I heard from your elder sister that I picked up a wild child and came back. I came here to see you, but you bit people whenever you saw them, scaring everyone away. Not only did you not let me in, you Bite my arm. I had no choice but to go out again to find something fun for you, and you didn’t let me in until you came back with Xiaowu in your arms, don’t you remember?”

The girl was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Is there such a thing? I... I just remember that you brought Xiaowu here..."

Xu Mu tapped her on the head: "It doesn't work here?"

The girl shrank her head, hugged her head and shouted: "It was all knocked by you!"

Xu Mu got up and clapped his hands: "Okay, finished talking, let's go."

"Ah, no! You are not allowed to go!" The girl screamed, lying on the ground and holding his leg tightly.

Xu Mu had no choice but to turn around again, shake off the things on his legs, and sat down at the stone table beside him, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea: "Okay, let's just sit for a while."

The girl immediately got up from the ground, grabbed his scarf from behind, and muttered: "Why are you sitting here? Dawu, you don't plan to stay overnight today, do you?"

Xu Mu reached behind and pulled out the scarf on his bamboo hat from her hand, pretending to be distressed: "I paid a lot of money to buy it, don't tear it up for me."

"Tch, I have small hands." The girl snorted at him, "I'm not a sister, no matter what kind of clothes or fabrics are in her hands, there will be a few big holes."

Li Zhiluo was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Yinghan, aren't you in a hurry to feed Wuwu, hurry up and go back with the basket."

"Aren't sisters afraid that I will expose your faults? Don't worry, Dawu won't dislike you because of your strength! Dawu!" The girl patted Xu Mu boldly as she spoke. right shoulder.

Xu Mu was photographed by her so that the tea in the cup spilled all over the stone table, and there was not a single drop left, so he had to put the cup back on the table: "Yes, yes, yes, no dislike, what is it to tear a few clothes? She smashed them before. I didn't say anything when I smashed my door..."

"Ah? There is such a thing! Dawu, you have a good temper! You didn't beat her up..." The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she became interested.

Now Li Zhiluo couldn't hold back anymore, and said seriously: "If you don't go back, I will throw your Wuwu away tonight!"

"Hey, I'm scared to death." The girl pretended to be scared, and then said, "Your adoptive father picked it up, and you dare to throw it away?"

"Okay, I won't throw Wuwu! I'll throw you! How about it." Li Zhiluo was humiliated in front of Xu Mu again and again, and he became a little annoyed, and his tone became more urgent, "Anyway, I picked you up. I can handle it any longer!"

The girl was taken aback after hearing this, put away all expressions on her face, stood for a while, picked up her basket from the table, turned and left.

Xu Mu hurriedly called to her: "Don't go, don't go, she's teasing you, don't take it seriously, come and sit next to me."

Li Zhiluo had no choice but to stop her, paused for a while, and then said again: "The adoptive father hasn't shown up in the past year, but he's very busy?"

"Me?" Xu Mu pointed to himself, then smiled, "I'm just busy."

Li Zhiluo asked again: "Then...Miss Su treats you...well?"

"She treats me very well, like a sister."

Li Zhiluo hurriedly responded after hearing the words: "Yes, it is very good, I have met her before, she is very gentle... very good, she will treat you well for Sect Master Su's sake..."

"What do you want to say?" Xu Mu looked at her and put down the cup.

The girl leaned on his shoulder and said loudly: "She just wants to ask if you are getting married!"

Li Zhiluo looked straight at the girl with her eyes, and the girl immediately pursed her lips, and the three of them fell into a weird silence.

After being quiet for a while, the girl moved her head away from Xu Mu's shoulder, straightened her body and whispered, "But what my sister said just now, those are just gossips of boring people..."

Li Zhiluo paused for a moment, then calmly said: "They're not talking nonsense."

The girl was surprised: "Huh? But sister, you just told me..."

Li Zhiluo raised his head: "Actually, I know that Qingluan was only a family of cultivating immortals a hundred years ago, not a sect, but the family is mainly based on the family, the skills are limited, and the blood is highly related. They took other methods, so they gradually began to recruit some disciples. Although there are a lot of people, this is still a family property of their family, and the head of the family naturally gives priority to family members."

"Miss Su has repeatedly claimed to the outside world that her adoptive father has saved her life, and that you two are a couple who are about to get married. But I know that she does not want to violate the last wish of the head of Su, and she does not want to make your adoptive father suffer from family violence. A collateral criticism. She is kind-hearted and a good girl." Li Zhiluo spoke calmly at the beginning, but his voice became weaker and weaker at the end, "So, if foster father also has feelings for her, then...then ..."

Xu Mu has been silent since just now, and only then interrupted her and said, "Then marry her?"

Li Zhiluo lowered his head: "Yes."

Xu Mu laughed and said, "We both have no intention of each other, how can I marry her?"

Li Zhiluo said: "But, but if you don't marry her, you will never be able to secure the position of the head of the family. The Su family still has so many cousins ​​from other families, and now they are all jealous of your position..."

"The Qingluan Jade Card is in my hands, how can they criticize it?"

"It's just, I'm just... worried that the situation of foster father will be more difficult..." Li Zhiluo's words became more and more confused, as if he suddenly lost his language skills, "Master Gu...he has been trying his best, he is In order to break your wings... When you have nothing, you will..."

Xu Mu frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "No... I won't get to that point, and even if I get to that point, I will never do what I don't want to do."

※※※

The cold evening wind reverberated in the city, the roof tiles were blown swaying, and the fallen leaves were fluttering.

The black gauze and black robe hide in the night, and slowly appear under the moonlight.

Two black-clothed men quietly appeared from the deep alley, and after a short walk, when they saw someone coming, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sect Master Xing and Mr. Yun will hold a banquet tomorrow in Lanfenglou."

"Having a banquet?" Xu Mu frowned.

"Exactly." The two men replied.

Xu Mu laughed softly: "It's really aboveboard."

The two men in black didn't dare to answer the words, they still knelt in place.

Xu Mu smiled at the two people in front of him, and said, "Okay, you all go back."

The two men raised their heads when they heard the words, and asked doubtfully, "Doesn't the head need help?"

Xu Mu's smile deepened after hearing this: "What do I need help for? I'm not here to kill people. Besides, even if I want to kill them, do I still need help?"

※※※

Lanfeng Building, also known as Lanfeng Villa, is the private back garden of Ziyun Sect Master. It is magnificent and luxurious, and various large-scale banquets will be held here during festivals.

It's just that today's banquet is neither a happy event nor a festive season, but a swearing-in meeting.

In other words, it is a large mobilization meeting.

Just after noon, the backyard of the villa was already full of voices.The entire courtyard can be regarded as a square, with a width of one hundred feet, surrounded by long tables, which are filled with all kinds of delicacies.Sitting or standing behind the table are all figures.

The visitors are dressed in different colors, belong to their sects, and are arranged in different square formations, but they have one thing in common, that is—no matter what sect or sect they belong to, they are all affiliated sects of Qingluan.

But the most peculiar thing is that Ziyun Sect, as the host, is the head of Fu Yun's three sects.

If others who don't know the way of the matter heard about it, they would be dumbfounded, but the people in Ziyun Sect are very familiar with this kind of thing.

As soon as the bell rang at a quarter of noon, the courtyard immediately fell silent, and everyone took their seats, only the Zong flags in front of the tables in each formation fluttered in the wind.

A man in purple clothes stood up in the courtyard and said to everyone: "Everyone only needs to sign the contract in front of us. From now on, we will work together and share weal and woe."

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, a man in a black robe got up and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Yun, although this contract is very attractive, there is no other problem. It's just that we haven't asked Mr. Xu yet. Report the whole story..."

The man in purple smiled when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Master An, you think too highly of yourself. Report the whole story? Do you think he will care whether you, a small sect with less than 500 members, will stay or stay?"

The man in black had a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's just... no matter whether I go or stay, I should go to Cangxue Mountain to report..."

The man in purple laughed when he heard the words, and pointed at the other suzerain in the banquet, he said: "Okay! I won't stop you if you want to report, at most, you will be treated like the gold suzerain. Do you know that he sent someone to hold it for 40 years? He traveled thousands of miles to Cangxue Mountain to ask Mr. Xu if he could terminate the affiliation, but who knew that he didn't even have time to open the thousand-word manuscript he wrote to his subordinates. Because Mr. Xu didn't even open it. He didn't even look at the paper contract, but said, "If you want to leave, feel free." There is no seventh word."

Jin Zongzhu replied: "That's right, extremely arrogant, this anger is hard to swallow."

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the crowd.

The man in black was speechless for a moment, embarrassed for a while, and could only sit back.But then someone else stood up and said, "Mr. Yun, what you said is not heard. I have met Mr. Xu with my own eyes. Although I only met him once, as far as I can see, he is a gentle person. , not to mention that he is also quite famous..."

"Hahahaha, he has a good reputation? Are you kidding me? Even if he has a good reputation, it is in the common people, because he always likes to travel around and meddle in other things. As for his reputation in the Taoist sect..." When the man in purple said this, he paused on purpose, and then continued, "Then there are only three words, it sucks."

The man who was interrupted by him said: "How do you say that?"

The man in purple left his seat and walked down the steps: "Ordinary people can't see his tricks, and it's okay if they don't understand, but we must not understand. You just watch him become the chief of Taoism within a year, But where was he a year ago? Everyone knows that he is in the Hanjiang ghost mansion! Everyone knows how people who enter the ghost mansion can come back alive? But back then, thousands of people saw it with their own eyes. He walked out, who knows if he has brought out any evil spirits left by the ghost king! After all, he and the previous head Su are just as good, and they are both doing some evil tricks behind their backs. People dare to say it openly, but everyone knows it in their hearts."

As soon as these remarks were made, the people present were speechless to refute and fell into silence.

The man in purple continued: "Before he was alive, Su Boling tried to imitate the ghost kings of the previous generation and go astray. He also has a vicious container that can filter out the living and dead souls. Useful. But now this Young Master Xu is only more sinister and vicious than Su Boling, spending his whole day in Shengyuan Peak, making Beishan a miasma."

Everyone's faces turned pale, and one of them continued: "This is true, I'm afraid he is also a femme fatale with a smile on his face."

"No, what kind of good thing is it that hangs around with innocent souls all day long?"

"Miss Su is really blind to be able to fall in love with him."

"Heh, who knows if it's really "love". Now that he is covering the sky in Cangxue Mountain, it's hard to say whether he bullies and dominates Miss Su or wins her love."

"Su Boling was his good friend before his death, so he wouldn't have done such a thing..."

"You may have underestimated the dangers of people's hearts. Anyway, Su Boling is dead. If he marries Miss Su at this time, he will really monopolize the power..."

"It's more than that! Maybe, relying on Su Boling's trust in him, what he did was to kill people and seize the throne! It's just that now he not only wants to seize the throne, but also seizes his close relatives!"

"I never thought that I believed him by mistake before, but now that I know the truth, I just feel disgusted."

"Despicable to the extreme!"

The man in purple clothes listened to the direction of everyone's discussion, his face became more relaxed, and he said while the iron was hot: "Mr. Death, maybe when you are in a bad mood, you will be refined into living souls and eaten. What's the point of following him? But if you sign the contract in front of you, you will not only have financial support, exercise guidance, but also have Standing side by side with Fu Yun at the Hundred Demons Conference, the spirit beasts assigned to the upper ranks will engrave their names on the Monster Hunting Book and become famous for thousands of miles. That’s what Yun said, you can decide for yourself.”

Everyone looked at each other sitting next to them, and at the contract in front of them, they were still troubled.

The man in purple smiled and said: "I know what you are worried about, but I am afraid that Mr. Xu will blame you. But where is this place? It is my Ziyunzong's Lanfeng Tower, and it is Fuyun's site! What worries do you have? Come If you get here, no one can disturb us; if you get out of here, no one will dare to touch you."

Hearing the words, everyone hesitated for a long or short time, but in the end they all signed their names one after another.

More than a dozen purple-clothed house slaves cleaned up the writing and ink on everyone's table, stacked up a dozen contracts, carefully placed them on the tray, lowered their heads and trotted, and presented them in front of the purple-clothed man.

The man in purple was proud, nodded and smiled, and reached out to get the stack of papers, but suddenly a silver whip fell from the sky, tearing the plate into pieces, and the scorching silver light on the whip shone a bit more than the noon sun.

"Who? Who?" the man raised his head and shouted.There was a moment of chaos in the courtyard, and the crowd left their seats one after another, gathered in front of them, and looked towards Luanding together.

I saw a person sitting lightly under the eaves of the roof. The black gauze covered his face, and the black clothes hung down from the eaves.

"Who are you!" the purple-clothed man shouted and asked without hesitation, waving his hand to order a row of purple-clothed men to line up and pull their crossbows.

Xu Mu slashed away the shining purple short arrows flying in front of him, turned around, pulled his legs that had been curled up from the roof, and swung them back and forth a few times: "You guys are talking so happily! , I just saw me now, and my legs are going to go numb."

Seeing that the person's face was covered by a gauze hat, and his attitude was so lazy, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing that he could not restrain him, the man in purple could only say: "No matter who you are, if you dare to smash the Fenglou, you are tired of work, come down!"

Xu Mu thought to himself: Finally someone let me go down!Sitting on it and listening to you scolding me for so long, I already wanted to go down and beat you up. /hehe/.

So he quickly turned over and landed, and as soon as his toes touched the ground, he saw a group of figures surrounding him layer upon layer.

Xu Mu flicked his sleeves, and two silver whips, one forward and one backward, blocked the person who wanted to go forward by a foot.

"What kind of battle is this?" Seeing that the surroundings were clean, Xu Mu asked politely.

The man in purple yelled: "I didn't invite you to the banquet! What are you doing here! Tired of work!"

"Don't, I came here uninvited. When I come, I am a guest. What good things are you discussing, why don't you share a piece of my pie too?" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Ridiculous! The country boy who popped out of nowhere, doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!"

"Oh, you guys are amazing." Xu Mu took a step back, then laughed again, "But you guys can't even beat me, a country boy..."

The man in purple shouted: "Presumptuous!"

"Is that presumptuous? I just asked to join your banquet." Xu Mu's smile could not be concealed even through the scarf.

"Oh, arrogant." The man in purple snorted coldly.

Xu Mu lowered his head and smiled: "I know what you're talking about, don't you just turn to Fuyun one after another, take me with you, huh?"

The man in purple sneered: "Crazy, stupid, how dare you ask who is the head of what sect? What right do you have to talk to me in such a posture?"

When the people saw this scene, they all watched the show, and the crowd laughed from time to time, and even said humanely: "I think he is the head of his own."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

Xu Mu said: "I can't do it alone? Is it against the law?"

The man in purple said: "Shameless! Get out of here!"

Xu Mu said: "Oh, if you can't beat him, let him go? Isn't the best skill of your Ziyun sect just to bite the bullet?"

The man in purple was furious, and shouted: "Everyone signed the contract, that means joining hands with Ziyunzong. Now someone is looking for trouble, what do you think should be done?"

The phalanxes of all sects lined up one after another, with their swords in hand, they surrounded Xu Mu in the center.

Xu Mu turned around and said to the crowd, "What are you going to do?"

One suzerain replied: "I will kill you, you arrogant brat who knows nothing about heaven and earth."

Xu Mu stepped forward and asked doubtfully, "You treat your benefactor like this?"

The suzerain slashed with a sword: "I don't know what to say! Ridiculous!"

Xu Mu took a step back, and threw out a silver whip from his sleeve. A ball of silver light wrapped around his sword in an instant, and the light of the sword suddenly went out when it touched it: "You recognize one zither string, and the ten silver strings are twisted into Your whip, don’t you recognize it?”

The man looked at the shimmering silver filaments on his sword in some horror, and stopped moving.

Xu Mu said: "I don't read that piece of paper because it says 'Life Compensation for Breach of Contract'. I didn't ask for your life or the life of the person you sent me. I'm not your benefactor."

"You...you are..." The person on the opposite side raised his head when he heard the words, his knees softened, and he knelt down: "Xu...Young Master Xu."

"Why are you kneeling, I'm just asking you a question."

"Okay, okay, of course..."

"But why do I feel that you not only didn't think that I was kind to you, but instead spread this incident as my evil deed?"

"No, no!"

Seeing this scene, the people present froze in place, not knowing how to react.

Xu Mu turned around, lifted up the veil, and said to the man in purple, "Why don't you write one more copy of your contract, and I'll sign it together, so that they don't have to sign one by one."

The man in purple was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

"When the time comes, you Fu Yun will really be sitting on the world. How wonderful, I will have nothing, no reputation, no real power, and nothing at the mercy of others. Your head will be very happy, and you will be happy." I will reward you heavily."

Hearing this, the man in purple took a step back.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't what I'm talking about what you think. You are trying to ruin my reputation and take away my things, don't you just want to destroy everything I have? And you didn't do it smoothly?"

Seeing that everyone was in a daze and no one answered, Xu Mu had no choice but to say to himself: "Forget it, you can follow whoever you want, and I don't care about it. It's just that if you just break the contract, you will pay with your life." Bar."

When everyone heard what they said, their complexions turned pale, and they were filled with remorse, wishing to slap their mouths twice when they were talking nonsense just now.At this time, most of the people present could only move their brains slightly, as for their bodies, they seemed to be frozen in the winter ice and snow, unable to move at all.

Xu Mu said: "Why is there no movement? Pretend to not understand?"

"Oh, I forgot, you are already Fu Yun's people, my words are no longer effective." Xu Mu turned around and said to the man in purple, "Since this is the case, Mr. Lao Yun will help me take their lives. how?"

Hearing the words, the man in purple realized that he should say something, hurriedly said in a panic: "My eyesight is poor, I failed to recognize Mr. Xu, I offended you so much just now, I hope you will forgive me."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, of course I'm sorry." Xu Mu replied with a smile, "It's just that he cursed me viciously, what's the matter?"

The man in purple breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said: "Since you can understand righteousness, it would be great."

Xu Mu smiled, and gently stroked the silver thread wrapped around his wrist with the fingers of his right hand in his sleeve, "Okay, okay, okay, since none of you are willing to do it, then I will do it myself."

In an instant, several blade-like silver lights streaked across—his clothes were torn and dripping with blood.

"Misfortune comes from your mouth, children, if you don't have time to curse others, why don't you spend some time doing practical things." Xu Mu turned around and looked at the crowd who were kneeling on the ground vomiting blood, leaned over and said earnestly, "Your contract has been cancelled. I don't want my life anymore, this whip is over, and I will never know each other again."

Everyone present was not damaged at all, but their mouths were slashed until blood spurted out, and their throats were pulled so that they could not speak.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Yun, you stood a little too close just now and accidentally injured you. But today you should have said everything for the next three months, and you probably don't need your voice much anymore."

The inside and outside of the Lanfeng Building was surrounded by Fu Yun's disciples. The purple-clothed servants who used to stand guard at the gate are now all young men in ocher clothes.

In the backyard of Lanfeng Building, the glaring pools of blood on the ground had dried up and turned into a chest-thinning dark brown.

"So, this is the big gift you have been preparing for three months?" The man looked gloomy, walked slowly through the courtyard, walked to the seat above the stairs and sat down.

A group of men in purple clothes knelt in the courtyard, not daring to raise their heads.

"Where's the contract?" Gu Jingyin stared at the people on the ground with a cold tone.

"Master... Master calm down." The man in purple was hoarse and couldn't speak a complete sentence.

"Huaijin, do you feel that your life is too comfortable?"

Hearing this, the man in purple hurriedly raised his head and shouted in a hoarse voice, "No... no! It's not my fault!"

Halfway through shouting, the unhealed wound spurted out blood again: "It's Xu Muchen...he just left! He did it!"

When Gu Jingyin heard these three words, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he frowned: "What did you say? Who is it?"

The man in purple hurriedly knelt and crawled forward a few steps: "It's him, it's his devil, floating around like a wraith in black clothes. My plan is about to come true, but he rushed in and beat us up without explanation." We were beaten...we vomited blood...nearly died on the spot!"

Gu Jingyin tightly grasped the armrest by his side with five fingers, the fingertips were almost carved into the wood, and whispered to himself: "He came to Fuyun Mountain, he actually came here..."

The man in purple only knew that Gu Jingyin wanted to annex Qingluan wholeheartedly, thinking that he must have hated that person, so he quickly responded: "Exactly, he, he just walked not far away, and...and he came alone ... I, I will lead people to chase now."

When Gu Jingyin heard this, he raised his head, as if he suddenly remembered the man on the ground, he suddenly stood up from the chair, walked down the steps, and walked in front of the man.

"Huaijin, why did he beat you until you vomited blood?" Gu Jingyin bent down and held his head
