Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Hill of Pimu
Before the sky darkened completely, Lord Wu ordered Mr. Wang to go to the city gate to take care of things beforehand, and then asked Inspector Li to lead the way, leading Mu Jingyu, Bi Yun and others out of the city gate.
These are extraordinary times, and the Yun family is very strict about people entering and leaving Xieyang City. After all, Lord Wu has been operating here for many years and has a deep foundation. If he hadn't taken care of things in advance, it would have been really difficult to leave the city after dark.
Inspector Li mostly searches for information outside the city and is very familiar with the surrounding terrain. With him leading the way, he can avoid the patrolling disciples of the Yun family and take a shortcut to the vicinity of Pi Mu Diqiu.
After traveling for more than an hour, everyone finally arrived near Juyu Mountain where Pi Mu Diqiu is located. There were obviously more Yun Family and Wuji Xu disciples patrolling around.
The black cat came to the front a long time ago. After identifying the path, he led everyone to the mountain path.
After Inspector Li bid farewell to everyone, he returned to Xieyang City to resume his duties. Mu Jingyu and others were left alone to rush to Pimu Diqiu.
Black Cat pointed at the mountains in front of him and said: "Miss, Mu Shaoxia, after we cross the six or seven peaks in front of us, we can reach the vicinity of Pimu Diqiu. It has only been a day, and we don't know where the Yun family is."
People, have you discovered this mountain path?"
Mu Jingyu stood quietly, spreading the spiritual energy in Jiuyaoxuan's chain of light to all directions, exploring the situation within a few miles. After a long time, he slowly said: "Don't worry, there are four or five people nearby.
No disciples of the Yun family have been found within the area. Brother Black Cat should lead the way quickly and pass through these six or seven peaks."
The black cat nodded, then pulled away a bush in front of him, revealing a path only for one person: "Miss, this road is rugged and bumpy, and few people usually walk on it. My subordinates are opening the road ahead, so you have to be slower.
."
The four of them followed the black cat, and sure enough they saw that the path was deep with grass and dense forests. If he hadn't been leading the way, it would have been difficult to find it.
However, what reassured everyone was that no Yun family disciples were found even after crossing the six peaks in front. Presumably, this path has not been discovered yet.
After the full moon had completely risen into the sky, everyone had already stood at the top of the seventh mountain peak. Looking down, they saw a large piece of slightly squirming skin, shrouded in the surrounding mountains.
Bi Yun stared at it for a while and then said: "Jingyu, it seems that the huge leather mother below may not live for more than a thousand years! Look at the densely packed large and small leather mothers around, they should all be its offspring."
After hearing this, Mu Jingyu looked down and saw that the Pimu mound was just like what Bi Yun had said. It was a Pimu mound covering an area of five or six miles. The entire bulge was like a turtle shell, and it was densely packed on and around it.
It is covered with skin mother of different sizes.
Regarding the origin of this skin mother, Mu Jingyu also learned a little about it from the medical books collected by Qin Yunchuan and the ancient book Shan Hai Jing.
According to legend, Pimu is not an innate Ganoderma herb. According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, in ancient times, the world was in chaos, and a person named Fairy Bomu was trapped in a mountain ravine for various reasons.
Later, he was surrounded and killed by masters from various races who came to seek revenge, and finally died in a secluded mountain ravine. However, shortly after his death, a mushroom-shaped spiritual grass grew on his body.
As it grew older, not only did it not die out, but it grew larger and larger, gradually covering several miles around it and filling up the entire ravine.
According to some ancient medical records handed down, because this skin mother is transformed from the true spirit of Fairy Bomu, it is a rare treasure in the world. If you can find the skin mother and extract the essence of its roots to refine elixirs, you can
The living dead with white bones and flesh is a rare medicinal material that is rare in the world.
When later generations of cultivators read this record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, they traveled all over the Kyushu region in search of this legendary skin mother. But after hundreds of years, no one found this legendary skin.
The spiritual grass in.
Unexpectedly, the Pi Mu Diqiu, which has been hidden for thousands of years, will be revealed here. Not to mention the ancient spiritual stones that may be hidden in the Pi Mu Diqiu, the Pi Mu Linggen alone is enough to attract disciples from various sects to come and compete for it.
However, although the Pimu Hill below covers a small area, after scanning around, no entrance was found for people to enter and exit. If you want to sneak into it, you will probably have to spend some trouble.
What's more, after a sudden flash of inspiration in the middle of the night last night, the Yun family and Wuji Xu have obviously strengthened their patrol power. On the mountains surrounding Pimu Diqiu, there are hundreds of figures in white, large and small. Want to be silent?
It is even more difficult to sneak in without any interest.
But what made everyone happy was that no disciples of the Yun family and Wuji Xu were found on the hillside where they were.
Mu Jingyu said: "Brother Black Cat, you have been lurking here for several days. Is there any way to enter?"
Black Cat nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Young Master Mu. After King Tiger and I came here, we found the traces left by the two Dharma Kings in a hidden place. Following the secret passage they left, we can successfully
Enter the Pimu Dimound."
"Moreover, the path I am leading happens to be not far from that passage. As long as you can pass it smoothly, you can enter without anyone noticing."
"That would be great." Bi Yun said reassuringly: "I just don't know what happened to King Tiger in Pimu Diqiu, and whether he has found the two Dharma Kings."
"Bi Yun, it's useless to think about this now. We should go in quickly, that's the top priority." Mu Jingyu comforted Bi Yun, then followed the black cat and walked down the mountain.
The road down the mountain is more difficult than the roads to the other six peaks. Not only is the road narrow and rugged, but there are no tall trees around to block it.
Everyone had to follow the black cat and find the way forward. At the same time, they had to bend down and be careful of the gravel under their feet, lest they make any noise and attract the attention of the Yun family disciples.
When we were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, the black cat who had been leading the way suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"Brother Black Cat, is there anything going on?" Mu Jingyu carefully took two steps forward and stood behind Black Cat and asked.
"Mu Shaoxia, where are you looking!" Black Cat pointed not far below and said.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the black cat and saw two people wearing Yun family's unique Yun brocade robes, sitting cross-legged in a bush, practicing their own skills.
"Hiss~~~!" Mu Jingyu took a breath and said, "When we were on the top of the mountain just now, we didn't find these two Yun family disciples. When did they get here? Or should we say that the Yun family had already arrived?
You discovered this trail and sent someone to guard it?"
"Then we don't know." Black Cat turned to look at Bi Yun and asked, "Miss, I see that the two Yun family disciples are less than four to five hundred feet away from the trail at the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid I'll wait a moment.
When you pass by somewhere, you will be discovered by them. I wonder what Miss is planning to do..."
Bi Yun frowned, first looked at the two figures in white who were meditating with their eyes closed, and then looked at the surrounding terrain.
After a long time, he asked: "Black Cat, are there any forks in this path? Or, is it possible to find a way out of these bushes and go around a little further to go down the mountain?"
"There are no other forks in this trail." The black cat turned around and looked around, and then said: "Moreover, the surrounding trees are too short and there is no way to hide the body. In addition, these bushes are dense and lush. If you pass through,
It will inevitably make a louder noise."
"Brother Black Cat, I think these bushes are dense, but we are all well-educated people. As long as we are careful, can't we avoid making noise? If you don't give it a try, how will you know?"
Qiuniang took a few steps to the side without believing anything, and landed lightly. Just after taking a few steps, her dress accidentally got hung on the bushes. She pulled it lightly, and suddenly there was a crunching sound.
Come. In the originally silent mountains and fields, the sound spread for several miles.
"Qiuniang, don't move around anymore!" Magu called softly.
Such an extremely small sound immediately attracted the attention of the Yun family disciples who were meditating not far away. The two of them suddenly stood up from the ground and headed here in search of the sound.
Everyone hurriedly bent down, and then the bushes half a person's height hid their figures.
"Junior brother... Beast... nothing's wrong..." The rustling voice came through the breeze.
Come to think of it, the disciples of the Yun family found no trace of the crowd and thought it was just a wild beast passing by. After seeing no other movement, they both sat down again.
Qiuniang stuck out her tongue, carefully gathered her skirt, and retreated along the original route.
Mu Jingyu patted Black Cat on the shoulder, motioned for him to step aside and walked to the front.
"It seems that we have only one way to go. I will walk in front later, and you will follow behind and try not to make a sound. If they really find out, I will try my best to fight as quickly as possible.
Solve it without attracting the attention of other Yun family disciples."
As of now, this is the only way.
Bi Yun nodded: "Jingyu, be careful in everything. If possible, try not to take action."
"Don't worry, I know the severity."
After Mu Jingyu finished speaking, he carefully pushed aside the bushes blocking the way and walked down first.
Three miles, one mile, eight hundred feet, five hundred feet...
Everyone followed behind, lifting their feet gently and lowering them slowly, for fear of making any noise if they stepped on dead branches and gravel.
Seeing that we were almost at the foot of the mountain, a sudden change occurred without any warning.
"Who is there!" A loud shout suddenly sounded, causing everyone to stop in shock and not dare to take another step.
In the bushes a hundred feet away, a disciple of the Yun family stood unknown. Holding a long sword in one hand, facing the direction of everyone going down the mountain, he asked loudly.
Damn it, when did this person come here? When everyone was on the mountainside, they were paying attention to the two Yun family disciples who were meditating. They didn't even notice this person next to the path!
Mu Jingyu rubbed his fingertips, and a small fairy sword came out and floated in front of him. He squatted half-crouched, staring at the white Yunjin robe. As long as he dared to come over, he would immediately take action and kill him.
Cut to the sword!
"If you don't come out, I won't be polite!" The Yun family disciple looked carefully for a moment, but it was dark and the stars were sparse, and everyone was hiding under the bushes, so he couldn't see too clearly.
Although I was panting and restless, I moved over step by step.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The distance of dozens of feet was gradually shortening. Both sides were holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to take a breath. They were just waiting for the moment the other party showed up, and used thunderous means to kill him with one strike.
Just when he moved to a distance of less than twenty or thirty feet in front of everyone, and Mu Jingyu was about to kill him with his sword, a loud laughter suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
"Hahaha, are all the disciples of the Yun family as cowardly as ghosts? They discovered something strange and were so scared! It's in vain that Wuji Ruins put you in a heavy responsibility to guard the area dozens of miles outside Pimu Diqiu. What if?
The monsters from the Demon Underworld Palace suddenly attack, why don't you run away in fear?"
It's Lei Chong!
Mu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly looked back at Bi Yun. He found that she also heard the voice of the person coming, and was signaling for him to put away the sword and check the situation before talking.
The Yun family disciple heard the sound and looked over, and saw Lei Chong's neck with gauze wrapped around his neck, holding a wind and thunder stick in one hand, looking at him with a sneer on his face.
"I said it was that sneaky Xiao Xiao, but it turned out to be Lei Chong from Lei Gong Castle." The disciple of the Yun family put away his long sword and retorted, "If the ghosts from Yaowei Palace really come, just because you are so miserable
