Chapter 186 – A Town’s Matters, the World’s Matters

Curry Night chased him downstairs, only to find Xue Mu standing at the stairway and not leaving. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a bit off, the originally lively lobby was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, a group of big men with swords and knives barged in from the door, aggressively blocking the door.

A man in Chinese clothes stood in the center of the crowd, seemingly bored, looking at the palm counting patterns. Another middle-aged man stood next to him, covering his somewhat leaky mouth and shouting angrily at the shopkeeper: “Which room did Long Xiaozhao enter!”

Before the shopkeeper had a chance to speak, the middle-aged man slapped down a big slap, domineering and abnormal. Xue Mu frowned, snapped his fingers and struck the man’s arm with a powerful qi, shaking away his slap, and said indifferently, “Here to look for me?”

The middle-aged man turned his head and saw Xue Mu, a slight fear on his face, but it quickly turned into a stern look, “Duke Qi of the Three Rivers School is here, if you have the sense to hand over the Heaven Swallowing Treasure Code!”

Xue Mu’s gaze landed on the Chinese-robed male. The Chinese-robed gentleman was still looking at his palm, as if there were flowers on that palm, and didn’t even raise his head. This pretense was so raw that Xue Mu couldn’t appreciate the sense of art, shaking his head he said to Long Xiaozhao, “Is this how you do things here?”

Long Xiaozhao whispered, “The Great River Sect is the strongest sect in the town, and relying on the county to have the Three Rivers Sect as a backing, it suppresses a place on weekdays, and trickery …… is actually like this everywhere.”

“Where is Department Six?”

“Where is the Department Six in the town …… Besides, this is the boundary of the Seven Xuan Valley ……”

Two people in this muttering, over there Qi Gongzi finally a little impatient, cold voice: “Where is the overriver dragon, but also really do not put my three rivers faction in the eyes ah ……”

Xue Mu didn’t even bother to pay attention to him, and nodded at Zhuo Qingqing, signaling that he could make his move. Zhuo Qingqing and Luo Qianxue had long been holding back their impatience, when had the Star Moon Sect demonesses ever been so underestimated when they walked out? Receiving Xue Mu’s instructions, they instantly transformed into two light smoke whisks, after the light smoke, the big men who broke in were lying all over the place, not knowing what trick they were hit by.

That Duke Qi still maintained the position of looking at his palm, lying straight and motionless on the ground. Xue Mu crossed over from his side, thought for a moment, and then bent down to catch his palm and put it on his crotch, turning it into a self-touching bird-gripping pose, before he left with a smile on his face.

Zhuo Qingqing two people followed out, Luo Qianxue turned back and added: “Let auntie know that you retaliate against this inn, turn around and slaughter your whole faction!”

Luo Qianxue was responsible for threatening to sweep the tail, Zhuo Qingqing went to be responsible for Xue Mu umbrella, just a moment ago the ghost-like demon girl suddenly turned into a quiet and gentle young woman, Ying Ying stood beside Xue Mu.

Under the oil-paper umbrellas, light belt fluttering, men and women stand side by side, eyebrows and eyes gentle, and just now the scene in the restaurant formed an extreme sense of contrast, see Long Xiaozhao a moment some lost concentration, always feel that he is not again trapped in what the illusion of ……

Long Xiaozhao swallowed his saliva, secretly looked at Xue Mu’s calm expression, and then looked at the graceful posture of the two demonesses, and finally his eyes fell on the little girl who was leisurely eating a chicken leg at the back.

The little girl was walking leisurely, as if she hadn’t seen what happened just now, and she had a big smile on her face. Long Xiaozhao always felt that there was something wrong, after looking carefully for a while, his heart suddenly thumped.

Under the pouring rain, this little girl did not hold an umbrella, seems to be drenched all over, but look carefully, actually is from head to toe all dry, the rain is actually looking at her body, the actual even a little splash of water did not stain, all rubbed with the past. This is not a big deal, the martial artist practiced to the external release of true qi can indeed isolate the rain, the problem is that he did not feel a hint of true qi flow, as if it is not using true qi, but …… the power of the soul?

The power of the mind refined to the direction of every raindrop that fell around his body? Or is it a random act of eating a chicken leg?

Monster Bar …… Long Xiaozhao started to feel his stomach ache again.

Xue Mu was talking to Zhuo Qingqing, “What an appetite, Qingqing.”

Zhuo Qingqing smiled, “That’s why the beauty of the rivers and lakes is only so fleeting, and most of the time it’s not the way it looks in Gongzi’s songs.”

“You guys are very used to it?”

“Of course ……” Zhuo Qingqing said, “This place is the boundary of the Seven Xuan Valley, the Seven Xuan Valley deludes itself into calling itself the righteous path, Mo Xuexin’s self-appointed chivalrous bones, isn’t it also such a messy virtue down there?”

“This can’t be blamed on Mo Xuexin and the Seven Xuan Valley.” Xue Mu sighed, “With martial arts as the honor and the fist calling the shots, it’s naturally a world like this. How could Mo Xuexin manage to be so detailed? It’s the same if it’s any other sect, for example if it’s us, we’re equally as high up as looking at ants, so how can the situation be any different?”

“Then how do you think we should turn it around? Rely on Xiahou Di?”

“Well, the authority of the court is one aspect, first there must be sufficient power to suppress, so that the jianghu people can not override the law, to rule the world. But this alone is still not enough, the indoctrination of moral education is also needed, both law and morality can be effectively reversed. This is impossible to do with only the sect preaching, although the righteousness of the various sects in general is considered to uphold chivalry and morality, but the center of gravity is not in the indoctrination, a will to practice martial arts, their respective disputes, the original use of martial arts to violate the prohibitions, how to indoctrinate the hearts of the people?”

“So the Prince supports the unification of the court? That’s why and Xiahou Di more and more close?”

“Not …… I don’t know, if the court is strong, and how to suppress the abuse of power? At that time, I am afraid that the tyranny is fiercer than the sword of the cave.” Xue Mu haha laughed: “Anyway, if you are not in your position, you don’t want to do your own politics, even if you are in your position, I also enjoy this feeling of looking down on you as if you are looking at a mole cricket, who can revolutionize their own life? I am not a saint, why do I think about this, why don’t I hug my beauty.”

Zhuo Qingqing didn’t understand revolution, but she could understand the meaning and laughed, “It seems that these things are really harder than asking questions, even our Duke is untouchable, I’m afraid that non-saints can’t do it.”

Xue Mu said, “That’s why I’m just a layman, I can’t do it. On the contrary, it’s you, a demoness, why do you care about this?”

Zhuo Qingqing said sweetly, “I just think that Gongzi cares and accompanies the exploration.”

“I’m just not used to it. Comparatively speaking, the prosperity and rules of the capital and Spirit State are more suitable for me, even if they are intricate and complicated, there are lines to reason. Taoist saying that the waves of the rivers and lakes are surging, life and death in a flash, sounds so godly that it’s actually inhuman.” Xue Mu smiled, “It’s nothing anyway, just get used to it.”

Behind him, Curry Night listened, his eyes looking at the chicken leg that had been gnawed into a bone, a little confused.

Close to a mile away in the distance, Qin Wuyao stood quietly on the treetops, looking at the few people who became small dots in the rain, pondering.

Xue Mu stopped talking and glanced at Long Xiaozhao, who was already dumbfounded. Xue Mu then smiled, “This matter is over, please do not reveal our whereabouts.”

Long Xiaozhao heard this lofty topic, and linked it to the various frightening keywords revealed in it, how could he not guess what kind of people were in front of him? He was drumming in his mind whether he was going to be silenced or not, when he heard this, he said repeatedly as if he was waking up from a dream, “Don’t worry, Mr. Xue, don’t worry! I wouldn’t dare even if I had several lives!”

Xue Mu said, “Leaking my identity in front of you is because you and I are going to work together in a while and may have to go all out, so I shouldn’t hide anything from you, so I have to do it in my heart, so that I don’t miscalculate on the spot and spoil things.”

This kind of temperament …… Long Xiaozhao heart surged a few points of tense feeling, no wonder people are people who do great things, the Star Moon Sect in his hands the sky and the earth, not without reason.

Xue Mu added: “As for what you said before in the wine shop, Xue Mu size a fly ……”

Long Xiaozhao face are green, want to cry: “I that is just blind blow, Xue chief administrator adults have a large amount, do not be with me ……”

Xue Mu did not have the good sense to say, “How big is the big one, I think you all know after seeing the absolute color spectrum. But do you actually know how small the small ones are? Can such words be said blindly?”

Long Xiaozhao froze, suddenly awakening to something, stiffening his neck and slowly turning his head to meet Curry Night’s ink-like eyes.

He was really about to cry. Only then did he realize that the blow to his stomach wasn’t unjust, and that he didn’t die was considered a mercy.

Xue Mu realized that this Long Xiaozhao was quite smart, but of course, his contact was still shallow and needed to be observed, so he didn’t say anything else and accelerated towards the upper reaches of the Liudan River.

The matters of the world are out of reach, the matters of the town are trivial, or this secret realm related to Xie Changsheng is more important to him. And Xie Changsheng did not have a grudge before, but now it was already considered a great grudge, no matter if this guy was considering becoming a god or a technological maniac, in Xue Mu’s position, the best way to deal with it was to destroy it, and not to let this aftermath continue to grow.

Especially since he always felt that this matter of Xie Changsheng was hiding a big pit, and there must be a hand behind this person that was secretly plotting something.

The secret realm at hand might be a key to deciphering it.
