0900, Birthday Gift

Qiushui Town.

This is a small town located on the bank of the Luohe River. The scenery is beautiful, especially in autumn, when the reeds are flying and the leaves are withered and yellow, it is like a paradise in a fairy tale.

Li Mu passed by here.

When he was eating at a restaurant in the town, a boy who looked like he was only thirteen years old, dressed like a beggar, stumbled in, glanced at the restaurant lobby, and walked straight to Li Mu without saying a word. Without saying anything, he just knelt down and kowtowed his head.

"you know me?"

Li Mu recalled Li Zhiyuan's memories in his mind and found that he did not recognize this child.

The child's face was thin, slightly malnourished, his facial features were quite straight, and his eyes had a stubbornness and toughness like a lone wolf.

"do not know."

The child said this and kowtowed with bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Soon he was on the ground, bleeding.

Li Mu frowned slightly.

There is a saying in the world that monks, women, and children should never be looked down upon or insulted. Especially in Fengyun Continent, it is a continent where pure warriors are rampant. There is no kingdom or political power, and the turmoil in the martial arts world is mysterious and treacherous. , developed to the extreme, and behind many strange things, there are huge murderous intentions hidden.

"Then why are you kowtowing?"

Li Mu asked.

"I want to ask you to help me kill someone and save someone." The little boy raised his head, with a trace of expectation in his stubborn eyes.

Li Mu laughed dumbly.

"Why are you looking for me?" Li Mu asked curiously.

The little boy said: "You are riding a horse with a sword hanging on your waist. You must be a martial artist. And the average martial artist does not have such a good horse or such an expensive sword. So you are not only a martial artist, but also a martial artist." A martial arts master, and only a martial arts master, can help me."

Li Mu was even more curious.

This little guy is a bit interesting.

"The question is, even if I am a martial arts master, why should I help you?" Li Mu continued to ask.

The little boy was silent for a while, like a wounded wolf. His tone was full of determination and firmness, and he said: "I have no money, but I can kowtow, and as long as you help me, from now on, I will be your most loyal Your slave, I am willing to give everything I have to follow you forever."

"You little beggar, why are you here again? Come on, come on, come on." The shopkeeper of the restaurant, an old man in his fifties with gray hair and a kind-faced face, came out from behind the counter, shouted and cursed, and told the waiters in the restaurant to He took the little boy out and threw him at the gate.

Li Mu asked: "Do you know him?"

The restaurant owner laughed along and said: "Don't be surprised, sir. Brother A is an orphan in this town. Something happened at home and he was stimulated, so there is something abnormal here." He pointed to his head and said: " A year ago, he bought his family's house and raised money. He left the town and went to learn martial arts from a teacher. However, no one accepted him and he was defrauded of all his money. After he came back, he sold the last few acres of farmland at home and wanted to He wanted to ask a martial arts master to avenge him, but in the end he was given away the money, so he had to wander around the town every day, like a madman. When he saw a martial arts master with a sword on his body, he kowtowed to him and asked him to avenge himself. It has been half a year. No one dared to help him."

After hearing this, Li Mu became more and more impressed by the young man, and asked, "What happened to his family?"

The old shopkeeper said: "Oh, it's a long story. The old Shen family are all good people. It's a pity that the family is ruined..."

At this time, a cough from the landlady suddenly came from the back kitchen.

The old shopkeeper's expression changed, and he said quickly: "I've made a mistake. Sir, as a foreigner, you, as a foreigner, don't bother with such noisy matters. Hurry up and finish your meal and leave. It's not peaceful in this area recently."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Mu to ask any more questions, he turned around and left.

Li Mu was thoughtful.

After finishing the meal, Li Mu paid and left.

Riding the Red Cloud Beast, I walked around the town. At the end of the village, I saw a young man kowtowing to another group of people from the world with swords hanging on their waists.

"What? Invite us to kill people? Haha, easy to say, little guy, killing people is not difficult, as long as you can afford the price." The ruthless Jianghu Guest laughed with his companions and put forward the conditions.

"I have no money." The young man's eyes dimmed a bit and he kowtowed.

"No money? How can we talk about business without money." Another triangular-eyed charlatan wearing light leather armor said: "Little beggar, you are just looking for fun at the expense of grandpas."

The boy was kicked and somersaulted, and fell out with his face covered in blood.

"I can take credit, I can sell myself, I can promise you anything." He gave up all his self-esteem, crawled on the ground, and begged.

"Oh? That's interesting. Haha, who do you want to kill?" The fat and ravine on the face of the charlatan was full of abuse.

The young man said: "The leader of the Tianlong Gang [Dragon King] Lu Song."

"What?" The ruthless Jianghu Ke's voice suddenly trembled.

Several other Jianghu guests were also frightened and put away the joking smiles on their faces.

Within hundreds of miles, the largest gang is the Tianlong Gang, and [Dragon King] Lu Song is a veteran master of the sixth level. He is like a demon and kills people like crazy. Who dares to provoke him?

"You brat, how dare you amuse us? Let us die?" A hint of cruelty appeared on the face of the ruthless Jianghu guest.

"How dare you deal with Senior Lu, a brat who is willing to die?" The triangular-eyed Jianghu Ke smiled sinisterly and said, "Brother Zheng, we are about to defect to the Tianlong Gang, why not capture this brat and use it as a surrender certificate?" ."

"It's too troublesome to bring a living person, so why not just cut off the head and bring him over." Another young man in his late teens had a sinister and vicious look on his face.

The young man was startled, realized something was wrong, and backed away slowly.

"Hey, you want to escape now?" The young man pulled out the serrated knife from his waist and forced him over coldly.

At this time——

"Are you going to join the Tianlong Gang?"

Li Mu's voice came from the side.

"Who?" Jianghu Ke and the others, who were full of anger, looked back and saw a handsome young man in white jade riding a red cloud beast with four hooves burning like flames. He was already ten meters away. They were all there before. not found.

"I have a gift that I would like to ask you to give to Gang Leader Lu." Li Mu took out a box from his arms and sent it steadily in the air with Xuan Qi.

As soon as this hand was exposed, Jianghu Ke and others with sinister faces were shocked.

Crossing objects in the air is a method for those in the fifth realm and above.

"I wonder what kind of gift you gave me?" The triangular-eyed charlatan said in a much more polite tone.

Li Mu raised his hand, threw the six gold ingots out, and said, "This is the birthday gift I worked so hard to prepare for Gang Leader Lu. Please send it to me, six of you."

The gold ingot was very heavy and of excellent quality. The six of them suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, we were going to Tianlong Castle to help you give gifts to the young master, which is fine, but we didn't know that the young master's surname was high. When the time comes, we can also reply to Gang Leader Lu."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Gang Leader Lu will know it after seeing the gift."

"It turns out that the young master is an old friend of Gang Leader Lu, haha, that's great."

Several Jianghu people got a lot of gold, and they were very excited and agreed.

By the time they left, the young man was no longer where he was.

Li Mu smiled, activated the Red Cloud Beast, and within a few breaths, he caught up with the young man who was running away from Sayazi.

The young man's face was covered with blood, and he looked at Li Mu with hatred.

Li Mu threw over a bottle of golden sore medicine and said, "Tell me why you wanted to kill Lu Song."

The young man sighed, kicked the golden sore medicine aside, raised his head stubbornly, and said: "You are a lackey of the Tianlong Gang, who wants you to pretend here? I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood."

Li Mu smiled on the Red Cloud Beast's back and said, "If your reasons can convince me, I can consider helping you kill him."

The young man was suddenly startled and said immediately: "Aren't you a friend of that old dog?"

Li Mu said: "This is not something you should consider. You just need to answer my questions."

The young man was silent for a moment, with a gambler's determination flashing in his eyes, and said: "The Tianlong Gang killed my parents and took away my sister."

Li Mu nodded and said, "I understand. The person you want to kill is Lu Song, and the person you want to save is your sister, right?"

The young man knelt down with a puff and said: "As long as you help me, I am willing to pay any price, please."

"First, don't kneel down casually. Second, don't ask for help easily." Li Mu pointed to the bottle of golden sore medicine that was kicked far away, and said, "Pick it up, apply the medicine yourself, and then follow me to Tianlong Fort. If you dare Don’t you dare?”

The young man walked over and picked up the bottle without saying a word.

…

…

"Oh? Someone gave me a birthday gift?"

Lu Song, the old leader of the Tianlong Gang, is now seventy-three years old. In this world where the average life span of a warrior is about 120 years old, he is not considered old. He can even be said to be in his prime. Today, he is seventeen years old. It's my thirteenth birthday, and guests gather here.

Taking the box over with a puzzled expression, Lu Song asked again: "What kind of person is he? Did he leave his name and origin?"

The gangster with a sinister face, smiling like a big meat dumpling just out of the cage, described Li Mu's appearance and said: "It must be some junior who admires the gang leader in his heart. Hehe, he said, the gang leader opened the box Look, you’ll know who he is.”

The hall was full of people from all walks of life who came to celebrate his birthday.

"Haha, the old gang leader has a great reputation, and there are always some juniors who come here because of his fame."

"Exactly, haha, this is the embodiment of status in the world."

"I really envy the old gang leader."

"It must be a great gift, haha. This box is worth a lot of money at first glance. Gang leader, please open it quickly and open our eyes."

Everyone cheered up the atmosphere.

Lu Song smiled proudly and said: "It's all the comrades in the world who support me. Lu deserves it. Our Tianlong Gang has developed quite well in recent years, and there will be some juniors who will come to join us..."

With that said, he opened the box with a snap.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the box.

Just look at a broken sword, about three fingers wide and five fingers long, with cold light shining, lying quietly in the middle of the box.
