Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 186: One town’s affairs, the whole world’s affairs

Weiye chased him downstairs, only to find Xue Mu standing at the top of the stairs and not leaving. There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the wine shop. The originally bustling lobby was so quiet that a group of big men with swords and knives broke in from the door and blocked the door menacingly.

A handsomely dressed young man stood in the middle of the crowd, counting the patterns on his palms as if bored. There was another middle-aged man standing nearby, covering his leaky mouth, and shouted angrily at the shopkeeper: "Which room did Long Xiaozhao enter?"

Before the shopkeeper could say anything, the middle-aged man slapped him down with a big slap in the face, extremely domineering. Xue Mu frowned, flicked his fingers and hit the man's arm with force, knocking his slap away, and said calmly: "You came to see me?"

The middle-aged man turned his head and saw Xue Mu, with a hint of fear on his face, but it quickly turned into a stern expression: "Master Qi of the Sanjiang Sect is here, please hand over the "Swallowing Heaven Treasure Book" if you are wise!"

Xue Mu's eyes fell on the handsomely dressed young man. The handsome man was still looking at his palm, as if there were flowers on it, without even raising his head. This pretense was too stiff, and Xue Mu couldn't appreciate the sense of artistry. He shook his head and said to Long Xiaozhao: "Is this what you do here?"

Long Xiaozhao whispered: "Dahemen is the strongest sect in the town, and with the support of the Sanjiang sect in the county, it usually suppresses a place and takes advantage of it... In fact, it is like this everywhere."

"Where are the six doors?"

"Where did the six doors come from in this small town... Besides, this is the boundary of Qixuan Valley..."

The two of them were muttering here, and Mr. Qi finally became impatient and said in a cold voice: "Where did the Dragon Crossing the River come from? He really doesn't take our Sanjiang Sect seriously..."

Xue Muli was too lazy to pay attention to him, and nodded towards Zhuo Qingqing, indicating that he could take action. Zhuo Qingqing and Luo Qianxue were already impatient. When had the Xingyue Sect's demon girl been so looked down upon when she stepped out? After receiving Xue Mu's instructions, two puffs of light smoke passed by in an instant. After the light smoke passed, the big man who broke in lay on the ground in a mess, not knowing what kind of attack he had been hit by.

Mr. Qi still kept looking at his palms, lying straight on the ground motionless. Xue Mu stepped over him, thought for a moment, bent down and grabbed his hand, placed it on his crotch, and then left with a smile.

Zhuo Qingqing and the others followed them out, and Luo Qianxue turned around and added: "Let my aunt know that you are taking revenge on this inn, and then go back and slaughter your entire faction!"

Luo Qianxue was responsible for clearing up the threat, and Zhuo Qingqing went to hold an umbrella for Xue Mu. The ghostly witch just now suddenly turned into a quiet and gentle young woman, standing beside Xue Mu.

Under the oil-paper umbrella, light belts fluttered, men and women stood side by side, and their eyes were gentle, which formed an extreme contrast with the scene in the wine shop just now. Looking at it, Long Xiaozhao was a little distracted for a moment, always feeling that he had fallen into some illusion again... …

Long Xiaozhao swallowed, secretly glanced at Xue Mu's calm expression, then at the graceful figures of the two witches, and finally his eyes fell on the little girl leisurely eating chicken drumsticks in the back.

The little girl walked leisurely, as if she had not seen what happened just now, with a grin on her face. As Long Xiaozhao looked at it, he always felt that there was something wrong. After looking at it carefully for a while, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

Under the pouring rain, the little girl didn't hold an umbrella. She seemed to be soaked. But if you look carefully, she was completely dry from head to toe. The rain seemed to hit her, but in fact there was no splash at all. If it gets stained, it will all be wiped away. This is nothing. A martial artist who has practiced to release his true energy can indeed block the rain. The problem is that he does not feel the slightest bit of true energy leaking out. It seems that he is not using true energy, but... the power of the soul?

The power of thought is so detailed that every raindrop falling around you goes in the direction? Or the random act of eating chicken legs?

Monster... Long Xiaozhao started to feel stomach pain again.

Xue Mu was talking to Zhuo Qingqing: "It's really off-putting, Qingqing."

Zhuo Qingqing smiled and said: "So the beauty of Jianghu is only for a moment, and most of the time it is not what it looks like in the young master's singing."

"Are you used to it?"

"Of course..." Zhuo Qingqing said: "This place is the boundary of Qixuan Valley. Qixuan Valley claims to be the right way. Mo Xuexin claims to be a chivalrous person. Isn't the following such a mess of virtue?"

"This can't be blamed on Mo Xuexin and Qixuan Valley." Xue Mu sighed: "If martial arts is respected and fists have the final say, it will naturally be such a world. How can Mo Xuexin be so careful? It's because of other people. The same is true for the sect. For example, if we were replaced, we would still be aloof like ants, so how could the situation be any different?"

"Then how do you think the young master should turn things around? Rely on Xia Houdi?"

"Well, the authority of the imperial court is on the one hand. It must first have sufficient power to suppress it so that Jianghu people cannot override the law and rule the world with law. But this alone is not enough. It also requires moral education. Law and morality must be combined. Effective reversal. This cannot be achieved by relying solely on sect preaching. Although the sects of the righteous path generally uphold chivalrous ethics, their focus is not on education. They only focus on martial arts and argue among themselves. If they use force to violate the prohibition, how can they educate people's hearts? "

"So the young master supports the unification of the imperial court? Is this why he and Xiahou Di are getting closer?"

"No... I don't know. If the imperial court becomes stronger, how can it suppress the abuse of power? I'm afraid that the harsh government will be stronger than the sword of Dongxu." Even in my position, I enjoy the feeling of being condescending, like looking at an ant. Who can kill me? I am not a saint, why do you want to do this? Why don't you hug my beauty."

Zhuo Qingqing didn't understand revolution, but he could understand the meaning and said with a smile: "It seems that these things are really more difficult than asking. Even our young master cannot touch it, for fear that a saint cannot do anything."

Xue Mu said: "So I'm just a commoner and can't do anything. But you, a witch, why do you care about this?"

Zhuo Qingqing said sweetly: "I just think the young master cares about it, so I will discuss it with you."

"I'm just not used to it. Relatively speaking, the prosperity and rules of the capital and Lingzhou are more suitable for me. Even if it's complicated, it can still be understood. The surge of rivers and lakes, the moment of life and death, sounds very fascinating, but in fact it is inhuman." Xue Mu smiled: "It's nothing anyway, just get used to it."

Behind him, Weiye listened, looking at the chicken legs that had been chewed into bones, feeling a little confused.

Nearly a mile away, Qin Wuye stood quietly on the treetops, looking thoughtfully at the few people who had become dots in the rain.

Xue Mu stopped talking and glanced at Long Xiaozhao, who was already stunned. Xue Mu then smiled: "This is a matter of course, please don't reveal our whereabouts."

When Long Xiaozhao heard this high-profile topic and related all kinds of scary keywords, how could he still not guess who these people were in front of him? I was wondering if Dagu was going to be silenced. Hearing this, I woke up from a dream and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xue! I don't dare even if I have a few lives!"

Xue Mu said: "I'm leaking my identity in front of you because you and I have to cooperate in a while, and we may have to go all out, so I shouldn't hide anything from you, and I have to be aware of it to avoid misjudgment on the spot and ruining things."

This kind of magnanimity... Long Xiaozhao felt a little sigh in his heart. No wonder he was a person who did great things. Xingyue Sect was turned upside down in his hands. It was not without reason.

Xue Mu added: "As for what you said at the wine shop before, Xue Mu flew off together..."

Long Xiaozhao's face turned green and he was about to cry without tears: "I'm just bragging. Mr. Manager Xue has a lot, don't argue with me..."

Xue Mu said angrily: "You must know how big the big one is after seeing the absolute color spectrum. But do you know how small the small one is? Can you say such nonsense?"

Long Xiaozhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something. He stiffened his neck and slowly turned his head, meeting Weiye Rumo's eyes.

He was really close to tears. Only then did I realize that the blow to my stomach was not unjust, and even if I didn't die, it was a sign of mercy.

Xue Mu found that Long Xiaozhao was quite smart. Of course, the current contact was still shallow and needed to be observed. He said nothing more and speeded up the Liudan River.

The affairs of the world were far away, and the affairs of the small town were trivial. But the secret realm related to Xie Changsheng made him pay more attention to it. There was no enmity with Xie Changsheng before, but now they have a big feud. Regardless of whether this guy is considering becoming a god or a technological madman, from Xue Mu's point of view, the best way to deal with it is to destroy it and not let this future trouble continue to grow.

In particular, he always felt that there was a big hole hidden in Xie Changsheng's matter. There must be a hand behind this person who was plotting something secretly.

The current secret realm might be a key to decryption.
