It is said that a long time ago, Shu County was just a primitive and dangerous forest with no human habitation and only various birds and beasts. Until a mysterious and powerful clan moved into it, which is now the Mu family.
Until now, more than 99% of the land in Shu County is still covered by endless green. Among the counties in Mengguo, Shu County has the smallest population, only about one million. One-third of the population lives in and around the county seat, while the rest are mostly in villages and scattered throughout the territory. .
In winter, when the sun sets, the twilight is already dark.
As soon as he passed between two giant trees dozens of feet high, Bian Yao suddenly felt his eyes darken, and it turned out that he had walked into a forest.
It was winter, but the trees here were contrary to normal. The branches and leaves were as lush as midsummer, almost completely blocking the twilight in the sky, forcing him to enter the kingdom of night early.
He stood there for a few breaths, and his eyes quickly adapted to the darkness in the forest.
After walking among the large and small trees for a while, Bian Yao jumped onto a giant tree, then sat down on a thick "V"-shaped branch, preparing to spend the night here.
In the darkness, Bian Yao ate a few spiritual fruits, and then leaned against the tree trunk quietly, thinking wildly. Many pictures could not stop appearing in his mind.
I have experienced a lot along the way. The companion named Mu Qingge has left, leaving me alone. Although they have entered Shu County, they have not yet reached the end of the trip. Next, they still have to find the Mu family that the old ghost mentioned.
In the night sky, the cold stars kept flashing with cold light, and through the branches and leaves on the top of the tree, a few wisps of extremely pale white light fell, reflecting on his clothes and knees.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew into the forest, brushed his shoulders, and brushed his slightly bitter face.
Bian Yao tightened his tight clothes and suddenly felt a little lonely and a little uncomfortable. Naturally, he couldn't fall asleep immediately.
At dawn, the silent sky is not yet bright, and the crisp chirping of birds has already penetrated into the ears.
Bian Yao suddenly opened his eyes, his dark eyes saw dots of pale sky through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and then he raised his body and sat up forward.
In the early morning, there was some faint wet mist in the forest, like smoke curling up.
Although the light at this time is still very weak, it does not hinder the ability to see the road and objects, and the situation in the forest can generally be seen clearly.
Bian Yao turned his head and glanced around quickly, then jumped down from the tree trunk. After identifying the direction, he stepped towards the depths of the forest.
Although Shu County has a small population, its area is very large, even larger than Yaecheng County.
In the map that the old ghost gave him, the specific location of the Mu family was not marked. In a forest full of trees, if you want to find out where the Mu family is, you have to go to the first place. It's the county seat.
After thinking about the current situation, Bian Yao decided to find a place where there were people living first, and then ask them about it. In any case, it is better to have the guidance of the local indigenous people than to wander around and search on your own.
Bianyao is Shuxian County entering from the northwest, and the county seat is located in the eastern region. It will take at least half a month to get there.
As the sky gets brighter, the view becomes clearer and clearer.
Bian Yao walked quickly through the forest, and soon he was surprised to find that the towering giant trees he had seen in other places could be seen everywhere in the ancient forest land of Shu County, and the deeper he went, the smaller the trees became. Gradually taller.
As time goes by, the sun moves slowly in the sky, and half a day has passed before you know it.
During this period, except for the occasional appearance of various birds and beasts, not even a single person was seen.
Bian Yao was eager to meet the residents of Shu County as soon as possible, so he kept going deep into the southeast direction, his lonely figure hurriedly walking among the trees.
The forest is not as wide and unobstructed as the wilderness, and the speed will be greatly restricted. If the speed is slow, you will naturally not feel tired.
The boy¡¯s footsteps were in a hurry, and the monotonous trees kept jumping into his sight, which was so boring.
Just like that, another two hours passed.
Seeing the sun setting towards the west, the light in the forest began to gradually fade.
Bian Yao could not help but feel a negative emotion in his heart, and he felt vaguely anxious and irritable.
At this moment, bursts of noisy birdsong suddenly came faintly, and it seemed not far or near.
He stopped suddenly, listened carefully for a moment, and suddenly?Accelerate and jump in one direction.
¡°Chirp¡chirp¡chirp¡chirp¡¡±
Not far ahead, densely packed bird nests appeared among the high hanging branches and leaves. Countless forest birds were jumping around among the branches, chirping happily from time to time.
Bian Yao seemed to be infected by these lively little creatures. He slowed down and walked forward with his head raised. The anxiety in his heart instantly dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The front is getting brighter and brighter, and something else comes into view. Through the gaps between the trees, houses and moving figures can be vaguely seen.
Bian Yao's eyes froze, and then he showed a bit of surprise, and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Several forest birds sensed the approach of a strange figure and suddenly made several sharp and urgent warning calls. Then, a thousand birds chirped!
A strange look flashed across Bian Yao's face, but he ignored it and continued to move forward quickly.
Taking a step forward, the giant tree covering the sky suddenly disappeared, and the sky above suddenly became bright.
¡°Obviously, I came to a small village.
The houses here are all made of wood, and their appearance is very novel and unique. I don¡¯t know what special method is used. The roof is also covered with a thick layer of green leaves, which looks very novel and beautiful.
As soon as Bian Yao appeared at the entrance of the village, not far away, a sturdy middle-aged man stared at him and then walked over.
After looking at him calmly, an imperceptible suspicion flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then he frowned slightly.
¡°Follow me.¡± The middle-aged man simply said, turned around and walked towards the village.
Although Bian Yao was surprised and puzzled by this unknown situation, he still followed the middle-aged man silently, watching what he saw in front of him curiously.
Although it is winter, the temperature here is far from as low as expected, it can even be said to be warm, and the surroundings are filled with the breath of spring.
At this time, dusk is approaching, and in front of the scattered wooden houses, the elderly are sitting on small wooden stools talking and laughing; the women are collecting unknown wild fruits that are dried in front of the door; the children are surrounding the wells or the trees on the village road. They were chasing and fighting to their heart's content. After meeting the stranger Bian Yao, they just looked up casually for a few times and ignored him, appearing very calm.
According to Bian Yao¡¯s observation, this is an ordinary small village, and the residents inside are all mortals without the ability to practice. However, he saw several adult men, all of whom seemed to be practicing martial arts and might be ordinary martial artists.
The middle-aged man took Bian Yao around, and in a short time, they came to a building in the center of the village, and then walked in one after the other.
The room is very bright, and the furnishings inside are also very ordinary and simple.
There is a luminous stone on the old counter on the west side; there is a square wooden table and two wooden chairs against the wall on the south side; and on the wooden bed on the north side, there is a person lying on it. Older man.
On the wooden stool at the head of the bed, a middle-aged man sat quietly, his eyes closed, holding the old man's wrist with one hand, not as if he was checking his pulse.
The middle-aged man who brought Bian Yao into the house stood there silently. Naturally, Bian Yao, an outsider, did not speak first and just kept rolling his eyes to observe the room.
He suddenly noticed something. The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the bed seemed to have a slightly green hair, which made him look a little special.
About half a moment later, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and let go of the old man's wrist.
"It's okay. Go back and lie down for two days to recuperate. Be careful not to catch the cold."
The old man straightened up with a smile, thanked him respectfully, then got out of bed and walked out of the house.
"Village owner, there are foreign guests." The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said softly.
The middle-aged man turned around with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes stayed on Bian Yao for a while, and said with a slight doubt: "Young man, are you a dream cultivator?"
Bian Yao nodded and smiled, saying "Yeah" as an answer. At the same time, he guessed that the other party was also a dream cultivator, and his cultivation level should be higher than his own.
After confirming Bian Yao¡¯s identity as a dream cultivator, the middle-aged man and the man beside him did not show any strange expressions on their faces, and they were not surprised!
The middle-aged man paused and continued to ask: "I guess my little friend is not from Mu County, where did he come from?"
"I'm from Yaecheng County, not a local." Bian Yao answered seriously. He noticed that the other party mentioned Mu County in his question, not Shu County.
In fact, Bian Yao does not understand the fact that all locals who grew up in Shu County have always called themselves Mu County. Among the millions of people in Shu County, ten of them have the surname Mu, and they have more or lessThe blood of the Mu family flows through the ground, and even though the blood that symbolizes a certain kind of glory is very thin, it cannot diminish the pride and pride in the hearts of Shuxian people.
After hearing Bian Yao's answer, a flash of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. When he thought about it, Caicheng City was more than ten thousand miles away from Shuxian County. Of course, what concerned him most was the chaotic plain in the middle. It was an extremely dangerous place. Even if you traveled as a team, you would be likely to be threatened with death.
After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man did not ask any questions about this, but just said with a smile: "It is rare for outsiders to visit my Chidori Village. Since I am here, I am a guest. If you need help with anything, Wherever you are, just ask!¡±
Bian Yao felt happy and blurted out, "Do you know where the Mu family is?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed that he didn't expect him to ask this question. He smiled helplessly and said, "I can't help you with this. I don't know where the Mu family is."
"What do you want from the Mu family?" After a few breaths, the man suddenly asked again.
¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m just curious and want to take a look.¡± Bian Yao replied with a smile.
The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing. He seemed to completely believe his words without showing any doubt.
In Meng Country, there are several very ancient families. In terms of mystery and power, in addition to being the exclusive owner of Meng Country, they belong to the Mu family in Shu County. Not to mention people from outside the county, even the local residents of Shu County are curious and longing for the Mu family, so Bian Yao's answer seems to be a cover-up, but it is actually very reasonable.
Dusk is coming, and the sky is getting dark.
"It's getting late. If you want, little friend, you can spend the night here." The middle-aged man glanced outside and suggested.
Bian Yao turned his head and looked outside. After thinking for a moment, he happily agreed.
Seeing that he did not refuse, the middle-aged man nodded to the man next to him, and the man left the room. Not long after, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman came in carrying a wooden plate with some fruits and food on it.
Due to the special geographical environment, Shuxian cannot grow cereals, so local residents mostly rely on various fruits as their staple food.
Although Bian Yao was a little embarrassed about the man's invitation and reception, he was not very polite. He and the owner of the house sat across from each other at the table, enjoying fruit and food together.
After dinner, Bian Yao was placed on the second floor. There were two simple wooden beds with only a layer of linen blankets on them and nothing else.
After night falls, the small village is quiet, with the occasional night bird chirping, but it becomes increasingly quiet and peaceful.
Bian Yao lay on the bed with his eyes open, looking quietly at the night sky outside through the window of the pavilion, thinking wildly for a moment, and after calming down, he peacefully entered the dreamland.
The next morning, Bian Yao left his bed early, went downstairs to say goodbye to the middle-aged man who was the head of the village, said some words of thanks, and then left the village and headed east.
