314 The soldiers of the corpse collection bureau came to the city, and the young master Mu snorted in the middle of the night
"Really?" the man was noncommittal. But apparently, he had a lot of bad premonitions about it.
"The famous copper-headed corpse can't erase a small Mu family?" the man in black across from him suddenly laughed.
The copperhead corpse ignored the man. He is not interested in this kind of sycophancy. As one of the veteran killers of the "corpse collection bureau", he clearly knows how many risks can be hidden under this seemingly simple situation. What's more, he was also involved in such a large sect as the Jade Palace.
The mortuary does collect the body. But for its clients, it's more of an organization that specializes in homicide services. Each of them is dressed in black when they act, but there is a badge at the center of their eyebrows to identify themselves.
His emblem is a bronze beast head, so he is called the copper-headed corpse by his accomplices.
Most of his previous assignments have been to kill a certain person. This time the mission was extremely strange. He only received this task this morning, but the other party demanded that he must do it tonight. And the goal is to kill the Mu family. All living people who are within the walls of the Muhammad Gate tonight, young and old, will die.
This list is full of strange things. Generally, even if they want to kill the door, the customer will point out a "must-kill" list. As long as the person on the list dies, the mission is complete. However, there is no clear list on this list, but it only emphasizes that everyone must die.
He even suspected that the real purpose of this client was actually the people from the Jade Palace, but he didn't want to be exposed, so he used the Mu family as a cover.
According to his usual caution, he would not accept such a strange list. But the other party did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and paid a price that he couldn't refuse.
"You can go and prepare, and do it in an hour. He thought for a moment and gave the order.
The man on the other side nodded and jumped downstairs into the empty courtyard. Then seal your hands and recite a series of mantras. I saw a series of empty white lights flashing, and dozens of coffins appeared out of thin air, piled up in the courtyard gloomily.
In the depths of the backyard of the Mu family, there are many chairs in a simple house. Four or five men, both young and old, sat anxiously on a row of rosewood chairs. And opposite them, there was a young man with a dignified face, but at this time, he was as cold as iron, it was Mu Yuan, the young master of the Mu family.
An old man stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: "Young Master Mu, the venom of this white-eyed viper in Lingzun, don't say it's Yuzhou, even if you go to Jade Peak to find the medicine fairy Biluo, or go to Tongzhou to find the poison saint Cheng Yutong, it won't be much better than my master and apprentice." ”
"Doctor Hong has something to say, how long can my father live?"
"With the old man's anti-drug acupuncture technique, coupled with Ling Zun's good foundation, it is estimated that he can last for another half a month. Unless you get the viper vine within half a month, the gods will be difficult to save. ”
"Then please ask Dr. Hong and his disciples to stay in the house for half a month. Half a month later, no matter what the result is, you can leave with half of my Mu family's assets. Mu Yuan said without changing his face.
"This ......" Dr. Hong first looked embarrassed. But then, with a roll of his eyes, he remembered half of the Mu family's assets. Not to mention anything else, even half of this mansion is enough for his identity and status to be upgraded several notches.
Mu Yuan quickly and secretly sent his father and Dr. Hong and his party into the secret passage.
Muddy City is a dangerous place, they have been operating here for a long time, and they have already prepared for the worst. At the beginning of the construction of the house, there were tunnels left behind, and if there is danger, you can hide underground at any time, and you can leave through the tunnels. The only people who knew the entrance to the tunnel were his father and himself.
He only came back to Painted Clay City this time because the battle for deer was imminent. Although he couldn't participate, he could also find those genius disciples who also belonged to the Five Elements Sect to learn from each other, so as to open his eyes, and he could go home to save his relatives by the way.
It's just that he didn't expect that a few days after he came back, suddenly his father Mu Qin suddenly fell unconscious. The old man was bitten by a white-browed viper. It's weird. The white-browed viper is only found in the mountains, and has never been heard of in the city of Painted Mud. It is highly likely that someone inside the incident was responsible.
Now that the master has fallen, he has not had time to hand over the center of the family protection array to him, and the Mu family's family protection array has become useless. The wild land of Yuzhou is no better than the Central Plains, and there is a worry of extinction at any time.
Although the viper vine can detoxify, this herb is extremely rare, and it is of no use except for understanding the poison of the white-browed viper, so the medicine shop or even the sect will not prepare this herb at all. In the whole of Yuzhou, there is only one on the night blind mountain in the north of the two boundary monuments.
If it had been a normal time, Mu Yuan would have gone straight to the Night Blind Mountain, but there were still two days before the battle of the Five Elements Sect. The Night Blind Mountain has long been blocked by the Five Elements Sect now, and it will last for at least a month. By that time, his father would have died long ago.
Although he was a disciple of the Liujin Sect under the Five Elements Sect, he was not qualified to participate in the Battle of the Deer and could not enter the Night Blind Mountain. On all the necessary paths, the Five Elements Sect had already laid down a suspense and a prohibition. He is just a disciple who has built a sevenfold foundation, and if he breaks through, he will be sent to death.
Another option is to go through the Demon Realm and enter the Nightblind Mountain. The Five Elements Sect can only seal a part of the human realm. If you go to the demon world, you can bypass it. However, the demon world is full of risks, and its danger is no less than that of the road blocked by the Five Elements Sect.
Even if he wasn't afraid of the risks, such a detour would be too far. If he is still alive after ten days and a half months, I am afraid that he will still be lost in the forest of the demon world.
There is another way, but whether this method can be worked through depends on the disciples of the Jade Palace who come to the door.
He remembered that there were a total of four disciples from the Jade Palace, and they should be a squad participating in the battle of chasing deer. If the other party is five, this matter will be even more troublesome. But it just so happens that the other party is four, which is hopeful.
Although he is not eligible to participate, each registered squad will receive a deer chase order, with which the entire squad can enter the Night Blind Mountain together, and will not be blocked by the ban on mountain closures.
Each squad is a maximum of five people. Obviously, the more people you have, the stronger your combat power, so each squad is usually filled with five people.
A team of only four people can bring one more person into the Night Blind Mountain. Although there are still many restrictions on actually participating in the Night Blind Mountain, this does not matter to Mu Yuan. He just had to go into the mountains.
After all, it is to ask for people, and the best way to ask for people is to spend money directly.
There weren't too many pills that his family could take out immediately. It has taken a lot to get a doctor on this day. He took a thousand Pure Yang Pills from the treasury, and then walked to the courtyards of several visitors from the Jade Palace.
The guest rooms of these Jade Palace disciples were all arranged by him personally. He clearly saw that this group of people was headed by Gouzhu, so he went directly to Gouzhu's room.
Gou Zhu was awakened by the warning of the ban set by Huang Lu. When he opened the door and looked at people, he was a little confused about the real and the unreal. He had just been beaten by this person in the stele of his stay, and now this man actually came to the door? Or did he actually stay in the stele and not come out yet?
But this Mu Yuan's gaze was not as fierce as in the stele. Although it is a little sad, it is also respectful. He didn't say much to greet, but walked to the desk in the room and went to the guest seat by himself, and poured a thousand red pure yang pills on the table.
Gou Zhu looked at this blood-red table, and had to admit that although the value was the same, the spiritual impact of a thousand pure yang pills on him was far stronger than ten black Xuanyin pills. If it is exchanged for two thousand taels of silver for a piece of white flowers, it will be even more blinding.
"What does Mu Daoyou mean by this?" Gou Zhu was completely unmoved on the surface, looking like a daughter of dung.
Mu Yuan did not hide it, and told everything about his father's poisoning. What he asked for was to use the deer chase order to bring him into the Night Blind Mountain. As long as they enter the mountain, this matter will no longer have anything to do with Gou Zhu and the others, and it will not cause them any trouble.
This is just a gesture for Gou. The reason why he didn't say yes right away was just to weigh the risks and benefits. It's not a trivial matter to add one more person to the ranks. After all, Mu Yuan's one-sided words are hard to say. He also has the heavy responsibility of entering the demon world, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt the monument connected to his divine consciousness move slightly, and then trembled with excitement.
Different from being collected in the immortal lotus, this kind of magic weapon in the hidden realm is still connected to the present world even if it is not in the present world, and it can perceive the spirit of the present world and communicate with the owner.
Apparently something piqued the machine spirit's interest. Hooked a pair of thief eyes, and shrewdly looked Mu Yuan up and down. In the end, his gaze fell on a blood-red ornament on Mu Yuan's belt.
