I heard from Hongmeng Spear Spirit that there are five flags in total, and one of them should be in the hands of Ma Kuangbiao.
Now, if nothing else happens, it should be in Hu Yichun's hands.
After all, Ma Kuangbiao's remains were taken away by Hu Yichun.
Chen Muyu probed out his spiritual thoughts and covered the swamp, but unfortunately, he could not find Donkey Delu and others.
The expression on his face couldn't help but freeze.
He actually let them run away.
Failure to eradicate evil will only leave disasters behind.
If these four people go out and talk nonsense, they will definitely cause him a lot of trouble.
But in this situation, he could only do nothing.
Even if he ran away, where would he find someone?
The Five Sacred Mountains?
I don't know if the war there is over yet. It can be said that it is a time of dire straits. If we join in the fun at this time, wouldn't it be a suicide?
…
——
After leaving the swamp, there is a vast plain. A large river flows out of the swamp, passes through the plain, and winds all the way east.
The name of the river is Huanglong River, and there are many villages and towns clustered along both sides of the river.
As one of the most important rivers in the 43rd Southeast Region of Central Continent, the Huanglong River has nurtured a lot of life.
A small boat sailed on the boiling river.
There was an old boatman standing on the bow of the boat. Although the river was churning and undulating, he seemed to have roots in his feet and was not affected at all.
Obviously he also has some abilities.
The boatman sang a ditty, held the pickaxe, and approached the shore.
"The guest wants to cross the river?"
The boat reached the shore, and a young man stood beside the reeds. The boatman quickly came forward to invite the guests.
This young man is dressed in rich clothes and has magnificent equipment. He looks extremely expensive at first glance.
It was none other than Chen Muyu who had just come out of the swamp.
"Old man, where is this place?" Chen Muyu asked.
Although the old man in front of him had some cultivation, it was almost negligible. To Chen Muyu, he was no different from a mortal.
The boatman plunged the pickaxe into the water, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a simple smile, "This is the Huanglong River, across from Dahe Village. Guest, it's almost dark today, and there are often monsters in the river.
, it’s not safe at night, if you want to cross the river, hurry up.”
"good."
Chen Muyu nodded slightly and immediately got on the boat.
I have been aloof for a long time, and it is rare to have such an experience of being in the world.
"My father-in-law is from Dahe Village?"
The small cabin can only accommodate one or two people.
Chen Muyu was sitting in the cabin, while the boatman was holding the boat at the stern.
The boatman nodded, "Yes, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to Dahe Village to stay. There is an inn in the village specially prepared for traveling business travelers, and the fee is not expensive..."
"After Dahe Village, if you want to find a place to stay, you have to go to Bincheng, a hundred miles away. It's getting late..."
…
The boatman was very talkative, and while punting the boat, he did not forget to solicit customers from the village.
Chen Muyu smiled noncommittally, "Did you just say that there were ferocious beasts causing trouble in the river?"
"Ah."
The boatman smiled and said, "Isn't it? This is normal. The past few years have been quite peaceful..."
"Then you still dare to come out?"
"Is there any way to support the family? The children are not filial. They are very old and still have to work. If they don't work, they won't have anything to eat..."
As we talked, the topic changed a bit.
The old boatman began to tell Chen Muyu about his family affairs, including which son was unfilial and which wife was not good. They were all miscellaneous, and Chen Muyu was not treated as an outsider.
Dahe Village.
An ordinary little village by the Huanglong River.
There are only about a hundred households in the entire village.
The terrain of Dahe Village is quite good, and it is close to a pier by the river, so many business travelers will pass by here, and the village also has a business doing business for passing business travelers.
After the boatman ferried Chen Muyu to the entrance of the village, he turned the boat around and continued ferrying people. In his words, life in the village was hard, and while he could still move around, he could earn whatever he could.
A dirt road leads to the village, with buildings on both sides.
The better ones are adobe houses, and the worse ones are really simple thatched houses.
A group of children were chasing and fighting on the dirt road. Their patched clothes were stained with mud, but they could not hide the smiling faces.
People in the village didn't feel strange when they saw outsiders. They just looked at Chen Muyu's neatly dressed clothes and occasionally cast curious glances or two.
"Guest, are you looking for a place to stay?"
A slightly fat woman came forward and asked Chen Muyu why he was here, with a bright smile on her face.
Although it is adjacent to the Huanglong River, the soil quality within a radius of hundreds of miles is not good. It is difficult to harvest a small amount of crops in a year. Life in the village is indeed difficult. The business gained from these foreign business travelers
, it is a big subsidy for the village.
Chen Muyu nodded slightly.
The woman took him to the only inn in the village.
It's a wooden building that I've seen fairly well.
There are three floors above and below, with more than a dozen rooms.
Although it looks simple, this inn was built by the entire village and is considered collectively owned.
There are still a lot of business travelers coming and going, and more than half of the dozen or so rooms have been occupied.
Chen Muyu asked for an upper room.
The room is on the third floor. The so-called upper room is just like that, with a space of about ten square meters, a bed, and a table, and that's it.
In a place like this, Chen Muyu didn't have much hope for the so-called Shangfang. As a practitioner, he was not picky about the environment.
Fortunately, the room is quite tidy and clean. The only drawback is that the walls are separated by wooden boards and are not soundproof at all. A whisper from the next door can be clearly heard.
With a wave of his sleeves, he casually set up a barrier and sealed the area. Chen Muyu came to the bedside and sat down.
Somehow, I let out a long sigh of relief, but felt a sense of stability in my heart as if a boulder had fallen.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you think of coming to such a small place?"
The Hongmeng gun was leaning against the bedside, and the gun spirit asked in confusion.
"I didn't think much about it."
Chen Muyu shrugged and lay down on the bed, "Anyway, I have nowhere to go for the time being. Too many things have happened recently, and I am very nervous. I need to settle down. I think this place is quite good..."
"You don't want to join the world, do you?" Gunling asked.
Chen Muyu rested his head on his hands and thought for a while, "Joining the world? That's not bad. As the saying goes, hiding in the city, I'm afraid there are countless people looking for me now. They would never have imagined that I would hide in such a small village.
"
The fact that he came out of the Tianhong Secret Realm must not be hidden, and there will definitely be people looking for him everywhere in the future.
"hehe."
Gunling smiled and said, "Join the world, you have the idea of joining the world. Could it be that you are about to have an epiphany?"
