[Xianxia] Accompanying Longmian

But just when Mu Bai's fingertips were about to touch the hilt of the Bingyu Sword, his back was suddenly stomped heavily.The pain caused his fingers to tighten into fists suddenly, but before he could bear the pain to touch the hilt again, a wolf claw like iron pincers grabbed his throat tightly, and his whole body was suddenly lifted into the air.

"I thought it was so powerful, but it turned out to be just a waste." The wolf demon curled his lips, staring at Mu Bai struggling helplessly under his claws, showing disdain in his pair of miserable green wolf pupils.

"Should we kill him now? Or should we take him back and give it to the king?" Another wolf demon shook the grass clippings on his fur and asked.

"Let's kill it directly, so as to save more trouble." Although seeing that the Taoist priest had almost lost the power to resist, the wolf demon was still a little worried, and after weighing it up, he decided to kill Mu Bai on the spot. Added three points of strength, wanting to pinch and break Mu Bai's neck just like that.

While gathering all the spiritual power in his body at the throat, Mu Bai kept scratching the iron claws that choked him with both hands, but that strength was insignificant in the eyes of the wolf demon, no different from a gnat shaking a tree. As soon as it hurt, the sharp claw tip broke through his gathered spiritual power and pierced into the flesh and blood.

This time it is doomed, Mu Bai closed his eyes slightly, he couldn't help but lose all hope, but his heart suddenly cleared up: it is not bad to die like this, at least you don't have to suffer from the curse of premature death, and you don't have to continue to entangle with the demons It's just...it's just that the villagers in the town are unguarded, wouldn't they suffer from the infestation of demons?Oh, by the way, it doesn’t really matter, if you die, there will be others who will continue to guard this place. This is the mission of the Mu clan. He is not important at all, and his death is not a pity at all, because he is not irreplaceable... ...Since this is the case, what is the point of his previous pain and forbearance?

Just when Mu Bai thought that he was bound to die, his throat suddenly loosened, and his stagnant breath instantly became unobstructed again, his body limp and sat on the ground.He held his bleeding neck and raised his head with difficulty, only to see two wolf demons lying on the ground in their original form, each with a big hole in their chest, and a young man in a black suit standing next to the wolf corpses , his hands seemed to be holding something, and there was blood dripping between the fingers.

"You——" Mu Bai wanted to thank him, but he felt his voice was hoarse and couldn't help coughing a few times. The man just glanced at him, then frowned and spread his hands, only to see an ash poof in each of his hands The fluttering balls, the size of pigeon eggs, were emitting a dull light, presumably they were the inner alchemy of the two wolf demons.

Ming Yuan went to the tiger demon's lair to inquire about some news, but he didn't hear the news, but learned that it sent two capable men back to trouble the little monk, so he had to return to the town quickly. Bai Bai was in danger, so he took action to kill the wolf demon, but the spiritual power of the two inner pills he got was shallow and unusable, and he was slightly disappointed.Immediately, he drew water to wash his hands clean, and then threw the inner alchemy of the wolf demon into the treasure bag, preparing to keep it for feeding the horses.

At this time, Mu Bai barely stood up, straightened out his messy clothes, and solemnly bowed to Ming Yuan, "Thank you for saving me. I don't know what your name is?" Although he has lived in a cave for a long time, he only knows about cultivation. I like to communicate with people, but I still know that I need to thank you after being rescued.

Ming Yuan bent down and picked up Mu Bai's gauze crown that fell on the ground, patted the dust on it and handed it over, and replied casually: "You're welcome, just call me 'Ming Yuan'."

At this time, some courageous villagers came up and saw that the wolf demon had already died. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief and angrily kicked the two wolf corpses several times.Those timid villagers who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead also got up when they saw this, some picked up the scattered fruits and vegetables on the ground, some helped the overturned table, and some gathered around Ming Yuan, chattering Tongue non-stop talking, to the effect that he wanted him to stay and help them get rid of the demon.

Ming Yuan raised his eyebrows, "If you want me to stay, what will Daoist Mu Bai do? Is it possible that this small town of yours can afford to enshrine two monks?"

The villagers were stunned for a moment, they never gave Mu Bai anything, and they didn't know that monks still need to offer sacrifices to protect the village, and someone immediately said in displeasure: "Protecting the people is the duty that you cultivators should do, why are you still asking for it now?" Enshrined?"

Ming Yuan wasn't angry, and he didn't even bother to argue. He just separated from the crowd, came to Mu Bai who was squeezed aside, and asked in a low voice, "How is the injury? Can you still go?"

Mu Bai blinked, lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.It turned out that every time he was injured, he would go back to the cave alone, deal with the wound alone, meditate and adjust his breath. No one had ever asked him whether the injury was serious or whether the wound hurt. Now he answered honestly that he was seriously injured. But I feel a little awkward, but if the answer is not serious, but it is telling a lie, I can't help being in a dilemma.

Ming Yuan didn't know his complicated thoughts, he just thought that he was too hurt to speak, so he didn't ask any more, but whistled loudly.Before the whistle sounded, the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground was heard in the distance, and in a short while a steed with black fur ran towards them.

Ming Yuan patted the horse's thick neck, turned to Mu Bai and said, "This horse is called 'Heitan', and it can travel five hundred miles a day, do you want to try it?"

Mu Bai shook his head slowly, but his eyes seemed to be glued to the horse. He had only read about the legendary steeds in books. Although he longed to see them, what happened in this small town? What good horses will there be?Now that I saw this horse in front of me, I just knew what "Xiao Teng has such a thing, it can run wild for thousands of miles", and I was almost insane for a while.

Ming Yuan was amused in his heart, seeing that the villagers were about to come up to disturb him endlessly, he stopped Mu Bai's waist, hugged him and jumped onto the horse's back, put his feet in the stirrups, and let the first horse face Mu Bai He trotted over to the cave where he lived at a leisurely pace.

=====================

Mu Bai wasted too much, and now his back was leaning on Ming Yuan, and he started to feel confused.When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying flat on the stone bed in the cave, and when he turned his head, he saw Ming Yuan sitting in front of the stone table, leisurely flipping through his books, and seeing that he was awake, he put down the book in his hand Asked, "Wake up. Are you better?"

Mu Bai's sanity slowly recovered, he sat up in a daze, looked around and asked, "How do you know that I live here?"

Ming Yuan curled his lips into a smile, "Of course I know that you live here, and I also know that your life is not long."

Mu Bai couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You even know about that curse."

"Although I haven't been here for a long time, I have indeed heard about some things about you." Ming Yuan followed Mu Bai's words, and pointed to the ice jade gourd next to him: "What kind of power is sealed in it?" the demon?"

"It is said that it is an ancient monster. It was originally wounded and imprisoned by Daoist Taiyi. After a thousand years, it recovered from its injuries and escaped. Every time it passes through a city, it will suck up all the blood of the people in the city and use it to practice magic skills." Mu Bai Explained, with a look of unbearable expression on his face, "A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Mu family used this ice jade gourd to seal him again, but since we are mortals after all, with limited spiritual power, we have to re-strengthen the seal every day to prevent this monster from being released." Fleeing again is a disaster for the world."

Mu Bai explained the ins and outs of the monster in detail. He thought that the person in front of him would show fear or surprise, but he never expected that he would laugh out loud for no reason. What are you laughing at?"

Ming Yuan only felt that the story was arranged outrageously, the power of the ancient monsters was so powerful that even the gods could hardly match them, how could a mere mortal be able to control them, so he couldn't help laughing, seeing that Mu Bai was angry, he didn't mind , slowly stopped laughing and asked back: "You have been trapped here for more than ten years, have you never thought of throwing everything away and leaving to see the colorful world outside, and from now on, the sea and the sky will be free and easy?"

Hearing this, Mu Bai couldn't help but clenched his fists slowly, shook his head and said: "It is our Mu family's responsibility for generations to guard the monsters and protect the people in this town, so I can't leave."

Ming Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly: "You have a big heart and a high style, but have you ever thought about yourself?"

Mu Bai's face darkened, and he asked back, "How about myself?"

Ming Yuan narrowed his eyes: "For those strangers, I will make a prison for those strangers. I live alone. I can't enjoy the delicious food in the world, appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers, and I don't have a beautiful wife and concubine to accompany me. I don't even have a person who can talk all day long. In the end, exhausting all your efforts and dying young, is it worth it?"

Mu Bai's pupils shrank sharply, he felt tightness in his chest, and the inner demon almost got out of his body again, he quickly said coldly: "Even if you have saved me, if you speak again to shake my Dao heart, please go out , you are not welcome in this small world.”

"Dao Xin?" Ming Yuan knew that he had poked the little monk's sore spot, sneered, raised his hand and sucked the gourd that was originally on the altar table into his palm, "Do you think there is really some ancient monster sealed here? Is it the Dao heart to spend spiritual power on it every day?"

Mu Bai was shocked, and hastily shouted: "Put it down quickly, or—" With a clang, the Bingyu sword came out of its sheath, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Yuan, but Ming Yuan didn't seem to see it, and was about to throw that Pull out the plug of the jade gourd.

"Stop!" Mu Bai yelled loudly, his whole body had already soared into the air, he flew straight to stab Ming Yuan's wrist with his sword, trying to stop him from acting recklessly, unexpectedly the sword tip was only an inch away from Ming Yuan's skin At that time, his whole body was frozen in the air, unable to move at all.

Mu Bai knew in his heart that he had met a master and tried his best to turn his body's spiritual energy, but it was still useless. Seeing Ming Yuan unknowingly trying to unplug the gourd, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He has lived alone in this cave since he was ten years old. Inside, I spend every day to strengthen the seal, how much suffering I have endured, and how much I have suffered. Only I know it well. Is it true that all these efforts will be in vain today?If the monsters in it are released, the people of this town will definitely bear the brunt of it, so what happens?
