Chapter 555: Dakou Village (Asking for Monthly Votes)

"The thing is like this. After I joined the Lichen Sect by chance, I was selected by the sect as the sect's candidate saint girl because I have the rare Tianfeng bloodline. But later When I was going through the test of the sect's Heart Refining Path, I failed for some reasons and accidentally made a big mistake, which resulted in the damage to one of the sect's most precious treasures. The sect leader was furious and originally wanted to execute me, but because of some scruples, he just extracted it. He took away the Tianfeng bloodline in my body and exiled me here," Zhong Xiu said with a sigh.

After hearing this, Shi Mu's expression changed and he let out a long sigh.

There is no loophole in what Xiu'er said. Is this really not an illusion, but a real secret space?

"Brother Shi, the people in the villages below are all disciples of the major holy places who have been abandoned here in the past. Their cultivation has been stripped away and reduced to mortals. Here, although we do not have the power before, life here is very peaceful. I think it's much better than the precarious days we had before. Brother Shi, why don't you stay here and live with Xiu'er? We will never be separated again!" Zhong Xiu looked at Shi Mu with soft eyes. asked.

Shi Mu's expression changed, and after a long time he nodded and said: "Okay! Xiu'er, I can stay here, but I am not willing to be deprived of my cultivation. I can feel that there is a world in this secret realm." Reiki, I want to try to see if I can regain my magical power, do you mind?"

"Of course not. Brother Shi is willing to stay here, Xiu'er is already very happy." Zhong Xiu nodded and said.

Seeing this, Shi Mu pulled Zhong Xiu to his feet, turned to look at the bucket dumped on the ground, and asked.

"Xiu'er, are you fetching water?"

"Yes. There is no water source in the village, and water can only be brought from a mountain stream one mile away." Zhong Xiu said.

"Then I'll get you water." Shi Mu said, picking up the bucket and walking towards the distance.

Although his cultivation was deprived at the moment, the physical strength he had trained for many years was still there, so carrying a bucket of water was no problem at all.

Zhong Xiu followed with a happy look on his face.

When it was getting dark, the two of them came to the village carrying buckets.

Most of the houses in the village are made of wood and adobe bricks. They look relatively simple, but the overall layout is also well-organized.

It was not completely dark at this moment, and no one in the village had gone to bed yet. They all looked surprised when they saw Zhong Xiu entering the village with a strange young man.

"Sister Xiu'er, who is this brother?" A young man in linen clothes similar to Shi Mu looked at Shi Mu with a strange expression and asked.

"My name is Shi Mu, and I am Xiu'er's fiance." Shi Mu looked directly at the young man and said.

Zhong Xiu's face turned slightly red and she lowered her head. She looked extremely charming and acquiesced.

The young man in linen turned pale, looked at Zhong Xiu, his lips trembled a little, and after a moment he sighed and walked aside.

Several people immediately came over and comforted the Mai Yi young man in a low voice.

"Haha, he turns out to be Xiu'er's fiance. Welcome to our village. By the way, if you don't mind, could you tell me which sect you are a disciple of?" A middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing came out, He said with his hands raised.

"Brother Shi, this is Uncle Fan, the head of our Dakou Village." Zhong Xiu said in Shi Mu's ear.

"I am a disciple of Qinglan Holy Land, and I just came here." Shi Mu said.

"I see, little brother Shi, don't be discouraged. We are all exiled here by the sect just like you. Now that you have come to our village, everyone will be our family from now on." The middle-aged man smiled boldly.

"Thank you, Uncle Fan." Shi Mu also smiled and nodded.

After everyone around watched and chatted for a while, they dispersed when they saw that the sky had completely darkened.

Shi Mu followed Zhong Xiu to a small house, which was Zhong Xiu's residence.

"Brother Shi, you can stay at my place tonight, but we haven't yet...you can't..." Zhong Xiu's face turned red, he lowered his head, his voice was as low as a mosquito or a fly.

"Is your brother Shi this kind of person?" Shi Mu looked at Zhong Xiu's shy face and laughed.

He immediately started building a thatched hut near Zhongxiu and lived there.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Mu had lived in the village for more than ten days.

There are more than 70 people living in the village, mainly middle-aged and elderly people, with fewer young people and children.

The villagers make a living by farming and fishing in a nearby river. Several young people in the village also occasionally go hunting on a nearby mountain range.

Shi Mu had lost all his cultivation at this moment, but relying on the physical strength he had worked so hard to hone in the past, he seemed to be very proficient in both fishing and hunting.

When he entered the mountains for the first time, he hunted three wild wolves and a huge wild boar in one go, weighing a thousand kilograms. He tied them with rattan and dragged them back to the mountain village, causing a sensation.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiu's eyes were filled with pride for Shi Mu.

There was so much prey that Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu couldn't finish it all. They only kept a little and most of it was naturally distributed to the villagers.

Some people who were originally not very friendly to Shi Mu also became enthusiastic.

Only the young man in sackcloth still didn't have a good look towards Shi Mu, looking at him with jealousy shining in his eyes.

Shi Mu naturally wouldn't care about this.

He gradually became familiar with life in the small village, but after hunting and fishing, he spent most of his time at home trying to regain his cultivation. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could not gather a trace of true energy in his Dantian.

On this day, he went hunting in the mountains and hunted back a black bear as big as three people, and dragged it back to the village.

"Amu is so powerful, he can even hunt down black bears." The middle-aged man surnamed Fan said in amazement.

"Uncle Fan, thank you. When I was outside, I practiced body training. Although my cultivation is gone now, my physical strength is still there. Beating a black bear is nothing." Shi Mu said with a smile.

"Xiao Mu, leave this black bear to us to cook. You can go home and spend more time with Xiu'er. I'll have someone deliver the best black bear meat to you later." said the middle-aged man surnamed Fan.

"This is Uncle Lao Fan." Shi Mu nodded, then said goodbye and walked home.

He walked to the door of his home. The door of Zhong Xiu's house was closed, and the sound of conversation came from inside.

"Let me go, Xue Yi, what are you going to do? Brother Shi will be back soon!" Zhong Xiu's voice was filled with anger.

"Hmph! What's so good about that Shi Mu? Is he taller and more handsome than me? I've been pursuing you for the past two years, but you didn't pay any attention to him. As soon as that Shi Mu came, you threw yourself into his arms. !" A male voice said bitterly.

Shi Mu's face changed slightly. This was the voice of the young man in sackcloth.

"I have said before that Brother Shi is my fiancé and we have been in love for a long time. Apart from him, I will not accept any other man. Just give up." Zhong Xiu's voice was cold.

"Okay, okay..." The Maid young man's voice trembled, and he seemed extremely excited.

"Since you are so heartless to me, I don't have to be polite to you. Even if I use force, I will get you!" The young man in Mai said with a ferocious smile.

"Ah!" Not knowing what the young man in sackcloth had done, Zhong Xiu let out a frightened scream.

Shi Mu's face was furious, and he rushed out, kicked open the door, and rushed in.

In the room, Zhong Xiu's beauty was pale, her clothes were a little messy, and she had been forced into a corner by the young man in linen clothes.

Seeing Shi Mu appear, Zhong Xiu immediately ran over in surprise and hid behind Shi Mu.

The young man in linen had an ugly expression and did not try to stop him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shi Mu, shooting out two rays of cold light.

"You dare to touch Xiu'er. Since you are impatient, I will give you a ride." Shi Mu looked at the young man in sackcloth and raised his hand. The muscles on his arm swelled and the veins popped out. It looks extremely scary.

When the young man in linen saw this, his pupils shrank, and then he sneered. A layer of red appeared on his skin, especially his hands, which looked like cinnabar at this moment.

"I originally planned to take care of you after a while, but you bumped into me today, so I'll kill you!" The young man in linen shouted, and the man flew over like a crossbow.

Its pair of vermilion palms were like a big knife, slashing at Shi Mu's head, and a sharp wind flew towards him, with a burning heat in the wind.

Shi Mu looked at the Mai Yi young man's fierce attack, his expression unmoving. Just when he was about to be struck by the Mai Yi young man's knife, his figure suddenly swayed from side to side and disappeared from the place without a trace.

The Mai Yi young man's expression changed, a figure behind him flashed, and Shi Mu's figure emerged, punching the Mai Yi young man in the back of the heart.

The expression on the young man's face changed drastically, and he reacted very quickly. His body spun around like a top, and his arm twitched back, making an ear-piercing sound.

There was a "bang" sound!

Shi Mu's fist collided with the Mai Yi youth's arm, making a muffled sound, which was also mixed with the sound of bone cracking.

The young man in linen clothes made a muffled sound, staggered back, with a look of fear on his face, and fled outside.

Shi Mu snorted coldly, swayed, and chased after him.

"Xue Yi, what are you doing here!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man named Fan appeared outside, holding a bag of flesh and blood in his hand, which should be the meat of the black bear. Seeing this, he shouted angrily.

The young man in sackcloth didn't pay any attention to him, passed by the middle-aged man surnamed Fan, and fled towards the outside of the village.

Shi Mu's face darkened. This young man in linen clothes was so fast that he felt like he couldn't catch up.

His eyes flashed, and he touched his hand in his arms. There was a black short knife, and he raised his hand.

With a "whoosh" sound, a black shadow flew out and disappeared into the back of the young man in Mai.

"ah!"

A scream was heard, and the young man in sackcloth turned over and fell to the ground. A black short knife emerged from his chest, and blood gurgled out.

His mouth opened, and a loud sound came from his throat, but the vital part of his heart had been pierced, his pupils quickly dilated, and there was no breath.

Such a big movement had already alarmed other people in the village, and soon people gathered around. Seeing this scene, they exclaimed and looked at Shi Mu.

"Shi Mu, what are you doing? Why did you kill Xue Yi?" Several people who had always been good friends with Xue Yi saw this and immediately asked Shi Mu. (To be continued ~^~)
