Although this place is not very remote, in the early morning, there is only one Quyizhuang nearby. But in a place like this, someone set up a big pot and stewed a pot of dog meat.
When Mu Yi and Lao Tao traveled around the world, they ate a lot, so they could distinguish the aroma as soon as they smelled it.
The man next to the cauldron is also dressed as a Taoist priest. He looks to be fifty or sixty years old, maybe sixty or seventy years old. He wears a Taoist robe in tatters, has disheveled hair, a dark face, but his shining eyes are staring at the person in front of him.
The big pot looks impatient.
"What are you looking at, little Taoist priest? Are you afraid that my constant begging will harm you?" Just when Mu Yi was hesitating, the old Taoist priest suddenly said something. During the whole process, he did not even look at Mu Yi, and even looked at himself.
The title is also the old beggar.
Hearing his words, Mu Yi smiled slightly and walked up, "I've seen seniors in Xiaodao."
Although he couldn't feel any mental fluctuations in the other party, Mu Yi did not dare to underestimate the other party.
"Senior and not senior, it's awkward. We are destined to meet each other. Just call me Lao Beggar." The old Taoist priest, or Lao Beggar, said casually.
"Elders are respected, so let's call them senior." Mu Yi sat down opposite the old beggar and glanced at the big pot in front of him. The rich aroma made him feel even hungrier.
"Which mountain did the little Taoist priest come from?" The old beggar did not continue to correct Mu Yi. Instead, he looked at Mu Yi and asked directly. Obviously, this was a cross talk.
"Funiu Mountain is a small hill with only an abandoned mountain temple. Of course, that is my home now." Mu Yi did not hide anything and said directly.
"Funiu Mountain? Never heard of it." The old beggar shook his head and gave Mu Yi a strange look.
"What do you think, senior?" Mu Yi asked.
"Of course I thought you came from some hidden paradise." said the old beggar.
"Senior, why didn't you guess Longhu or Maoshan?" Mu Yi asked puzzledly.
"You don't have the smell of those from Longhu Mountain. As for Maoshan, the old beggar has some friendship with Maoshan, but he has never heard of you, so you can't be from Maoshan." The old beggar shook his head.
said.
"Sure enough." After hearing the other party's words, Mu Yi was convinced. In fact, he had already had doubts when he saw the other party. After all, the other party suddenly appeared in such a place and showed a wish.
It would be strange if there was no problem with the person's attitude of taking the bait.
Especially since a contemporary member of the Maoshan sect was walking around the world just last night, it would not be too much to bring in an old beggar who has a strong connection with the Maoshan sect. He might even be from Maoshan.
Come to think of it, even if those accidents hadn't happened last night, even if Qu Yang wanted to kill someone and silence him, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it.
What makes Mu Yi curious is how much the other party saw. Did he also see the battle between him and Qu Yang, as well as the Time Bamboo and the Corpse Mushroom?
At least during the battle last night, Mu Yi didn't find anyone peeping. This situation can only mean two problems. One is that the other party was not there at the time, and the other is that the other party's level is too high. Even if he is hiding aside, he cannot detect it.
.
"I wonder what the senior's instructions are for inviting me?" Mu Yi thought for a moment and asked carefully. He didn't think that the other party came here just to say a few words and treat him to a pot of dog meat, especially since the other party also had a relationship with Maoshan.
The faction has a close relationship.
"If I say that I am happy to see Hunter Xin and I just want to treat you to a meal of dog meat, would you believe me?" The old beggar looked directly at Mu Yi.
"It's true that I'm happy to see a hunter, and it's true that I'm eating dog meat, but senior's purpose isn't that simple, right? If senior hadn't said it, I'm afraid this meat trail would be hard to swallow," Mu Yi replied.
"Okay, the old beggar will just say it bluntly. I heard that you have a key with you?" the old beggar straightened up and said.
"Key? How did the senior know?" Mu Yi was stunned for a moment. He did have a key on his body. According to Qu Yang, it was one of the keys to the ancient path of the Yellow River. But how did the other party know? Is it possible that Qu Yang
He was already there the night he took the key?
"I know now, but I'm afraid it won't be long before I know everything that needs to be known." The old beggar said slowly.
"Qu Yang?" Mu Yi had an idea in his mind. He didn't think that this matter was spread by people from Mo Yuan Escort Agency. At least they were not that stupid. As for the employer, it was even more impossible. If the other party had already known that the key was precious,
, would not use this method, and even if this key involves some secrets, it is not accessible to ordinary people.
The reason why I think Qu Yang is because he just suffered such a big loss, he will definitely try his best to get revenge, but it is obviously impossible to find Mu Yi in a short time. Even if he does, he may not be able to defeat Mu Yi at this moment.
easy.
So the best way is to kill someone with a borrowed knife and make Mu Yi the target of public criticism, and Mu Yi happens to have this condition, which is the key he got.
Qu Yang was originally planning to leave the key with Mu Yi first and wait to take it back later when he has the opportunity, but now in order to take revenge on Mu Yi, he obviously can't care so much anymore. If he can't get it, he will definitely not make Mu Yi feel better.
There is never a shortage of desperate people in this world, and some big forces are also looking for the whereabouts of the six keys. If they know that one of them is in Mu Yi's hands, they will naturally come to him to ask for it.
This is not considered to be very vicious, but it will definitely cause Mu Yi to have troubles from now on.
So after he figured it out, he frowned, and there was someone right in front of him, not to mention the distance.
"Do you want to hand it over?" Mu Yi couldn't help but think in his mind. To be honest, he wasn't very interested in the ancient Yellow River Road. Naturally, he didn't have to go there. He went down the mountain this time to find the old road, so the key was right.
It's not necessary for him, especially since he doesn't like trouble.
However, Mu Yi is a proud person at heart, because he couldn't do it even if he was asked to hand over the key with just one sentence.
"Senior, do you want that key?" Mu Yi asked directly.
"No, no, no." Unexpectedly, the old beggar shook his head.
"Then what does senior mean?" Now it was Mu Yi's turn to be confused. Could it be that the other party just wanted to remind him?
"You need six keys to open the Yellow River Ancient Road. Do you know who holds these six keys now?" The old beggar did not answer Mu Yi's question, but suddenly asked.
"I don't know, please let me know from my seniors," Mu Yi said modestly.
"This first key is in Baidi City, Fengjie." The old beggar said slowly.
"Fengjie Baidi City? But that Baidi City, which is said to be very powerful in martial arts and the White Emperor dominates three points of the world?" Mu Yi's eyes suddenly widened. This sentence was something he accidentally heard when he and Lao Dao were walking around the world.
It is imprinted in his heart and will never be forgotten.
At least at that time, Mu Yi had been fascinated by it, but that kind of existence was too far away from him. He didn't expect to hear it from the old beggar again today.
"Yes, it's just that the young White Emperor is in charge of Baidi City now. Although he is not as good as his father, he is not far behind him. Although everyone in the world knows that one of the keys is there, no one has ever dared to snatch it.
." The old beggar nodded and said.
"What about the second key?" Mu Yi continued to ask.
"The second and third keys are on Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain respectively." The old beggar smiled slightly. Likewise, even if someone knew, it would be impossible to go.
Whether it is Longhu Mountain or Maoshan, they are all famous in today's world. It is the second most difficult thing for a Maoshan to walk in the contemporary world. You can imagine how powerful the strength behind them is.
Mu Yi didn't say anything, just looked at the old beggar.
"The fourth key is in the hands of the goddess in the ancient city of Dunhuang in the northwest."
"Dunhuang Ancient City Goddess?" Mu Yi secretly remembered it in his heart. Although it was the first time he heard about it, being able to keep a key was a symbol of strength in itself.
"The fifth key is in the Forbidden City, in the hands of the most powerful old woman in the world today." The old beggar sneered. Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of the last one.
As for who the old woman was, Mu Yi naturally knew it clearly.
After listening to the old beggar's words, he felt a little heavy in his heart, and the pressure on his body suddenly became much heavier.
Regardless of Baidi City, the two major sects of Dragon, Tiger and Maoshan, or the ancient city of Dunhuang in the northwest, or the old woman in the Forbidden City, they are all powerful figures of the first level, far beyond what he, a little Taoist priest, can compare to.
Mu Yi originally thought that it was just a key, and even if someone knew about it, it wouldn't matter. It was nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover it up with soil. But now, he no longer has that ridiculous idea, because the key in his hand is the sixth one.
, which is the last one.
It means that as long as this key is released, it will immediately stir up the situation and attract the attention of everyone in the world. Even the other five parties will take action. At that time, Mu Yi will really become the target of public criticism. The key in his hand is like a child.
There is a principle behind holding gold in a busy city.
By then Mu Yi will not just be in trouble.
"Does Qu Yang know that the key in my hand is the last of the six keys?" Mu Yi suddenly asked.
"Of course he doesn't know. At least at his level, he is not qualified. However, he is also unlucky. He has obviously got the key, but you snatched it away halfway. It is also destined that he is not lucky enough." The old beggar looked pityful.
said.
"Senior should say that he is lucky. Otherwise, if the key is exposed in his hands, Quyizhuang may immediately turn into ruins." Mu Yi's expression was slightly self-deprecating. Even Qu Yang is not qualified, so what about him? I'm afraid he is not qualified either.
Right?
Qu Yang would even be even happier if he knew the news. After all, his original intention was to cause trouble for Mu Yi and kill him.
If Mu Yi is greedy and insists on keeping the key in his hand, the most likely outcome is that he will regret it early.
"That's true. In this world, just having an opportunity is not enough. The key depends on whether you have the strength to seize the opportunity." The old beggar nodded.
"Senior, do you mean to ask junior to hand over the key?" Mu Yi looked straight at the old beggar.
