Chapter 124 The Master’s Mission (Part 1)

Author: Cao Xuanfeng1

The Gate of Demonic Life.

"I heard a letter from my master saying that I have a mission assigned to me?" a young man asked.

Another young man said: "Yes, this is the first time I have assigned you a mission. Why do you live in Dayan Imperial City?"

“There are so many people and it’s so lively.”

"Even so, why would you live in the mountains? I heard from the messenger that your manor is not small. It cost a lot of spiritual stones, right?"

"It's not much, but it's quite painful."

"Okay, let's stop chatting. I've called you back this time to entrust you with something important."

"What?"

"Go to Jiaozhou, the border state of the Great Yan Dynasty, and deliver a letter."

"Jiaozhou? Are there no closer missions? I live outside Dayan Emperor City, can you assign me a closer mission?"

The young man frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Well, for the first mission, you don't have to choose, and you can't choose. Otherwise, you know, Master will think that you are picky and disobedient. It will be difficult for you later, so generally speaking, the first time is arranged

No matter whether it is near or far, easy or difficult, you must complete your master's task well." The young man explained.

"Okay then, I will obey the master's arrangements." The young man said reluctantly but helplessly.

Seeing that the young man was so enlightened, the young man gave the young man a wooden sign, luggage, and a sealed letter. The letter had a spiritual seal and could not be opened by non-spiritual condensing realm monks.

After giving these three things, he said: "Seventh Junior Brother, I will deliver them not far away. The mission time is 3-6 months, pay attention to the completion time. Take this opportunity, you can also go to the northwest to experience more and gain more knowledge.

.Don’t be in a hurry to come back after completing the mission, but you must also pay attention to the time. If you delay the delivery, part of the reward will be deducted. So don’t be too playful on the way.”

"I understand, Sixth Senior Brother."

After taking the things, the young man said goodbye to his senior brother and left on the road.

Before leaving.

"The master has assigned a mission. I have to go to Jiaozhou. It will take 3-6 months."

"Ah, so long?"

"Well, this is the first time I've been given a task. I can't refuse, otherwise Master will easily put my feet on the line in the future."

"Okay then, what should I do?"

"You also go back to practice. When I come back, I will negotiate all the properties of the manor, including tobacco, wine, silk and tea. Then you can just come and collect the spiritual stones every quarter."

"Okay, that's it, it's settled. I'll go back and practice well."

"Um."

"The two of us work hard, and we will definitely have a happy and beautiful future." The girl said, her eyes full of longing.

The young man also looked forward to it, reluctantly hugged the girl and said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Um."

The girl rubbed the boy's chest nostalgically again, like a cat, and finally let go of her tightly wrapped hands.

"By the way, this is the key to the manor. I'll give you a copy."

"ah?"

"There are only three copies in total, one for me, one for you, and the other one is with the inspector of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If we lose it, we can go to him to get another copy, one or two gold and a key."

"And there are spiritual seals?"

"Yes, the gate spiritual seal, the river spiritual seal, the inner waterfall spiritual seal, the bridge spiritual seal, and the mountain spirit seal, these are the five major seals of the manor."

"I see a flaw in this estate."

"What?"

"Although there are many rivers and abundant water sources, they are all external water and there are no internal wells."

"I didn't expect this. If the imperial power is stable, we don't need to worry about this. The water source cannot be cut off. Besides, it is rare to dig a well in the mountain. What's more, if the imperial power is unstable,

We may also be affected."

"What does the struggle for the throne among mortals have to do with us monks? Didn't you say that your property rights are for 240 years? Even the next dynasty must recognize it. This is called land deed credit."

"Yes, the normal change of dynasty does not have anything to do with us. But if we are afraid that some immortal cultivators will interfere with it, then it is hard to say."

After that, the young man left, and the girl watched until he disappeared from sight.

The border of Jiaozhou.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of herbal tea." The young man shouted, sweating.

The boss responded: "Okay, sir, I'll be there soon."

Later, when tea was served, I saw the young man's luggage and a long gun wrapped in black thread leaning on the table. I put the tea down with some caution and said softly: "You can use it slowly."

After drinking tea, the young man wiped the sweat from his head and asked: "How much?"

"Two cents." The shopkeeper said a little sarcastically, as if he was afraid that the other party would dislike the high price, because on weekdays, a bowl of tea only costs one cent.

The young man's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "I don't have any copper coins, so I'll give you a tael of silver."

When the store owner saw it, he became a little panicked and said: "One tael of silver is equal to 1,000 copper coins. I have a small business here and I can't find you."

The young man raised his gun and said, "Then there's no need to look for it. I'm in a hurry to get on my way, so that's it."

"This!" The store owner was stunned for a moment.

The young man had already packed up his things and walked out a few steps. Only then did the shopkeeper realize that it was true. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, noble man."

Then he reminded me: "When your guest enters no man's land, you must go straight to the main road and don't deviate. There are powerful robbers in the desert."

"knew."

There was a voice, and when the store owner looked up again, the young man was gone.

The yellow sand in the desert is endless as far as the eye can see, but it is divided into high and low levels, forming large ravines. When there is no monsoon, the terrain remains unchanged. If the wind comes, everything will be refreshed.

Mu Hanchan's mouth was dry and she was sweating profusely.

This trip was too impatient, and he didn't even prepare the basic water charms. Because he wanted to leave early and come back early. The task could be completed within three months, preferably within one or two months.

"What the hell is this place?" Mu Hanchan had an unhappy look on his face.

I looked at the map again and the sealed letter in the bag. After doing some calculations, I thought: "There are still 1,800 miles."

But I also looked sad, because for the last thousand miles, I could only walk.

Even if he traveled a hundred miles a day, it would still take him eighteen days to arrive.

This desert is not big, only three thousand miles in radius. Compared with the main body of the pebble desert further west, it is like a shrimp seeing a whale.

During this trip, he was going to the bottom of a dormant volcano, where there was a stronghold of the Yunyang Sect.

It was said that the volcano was showing signs of recovery, so it sent a letter back to the sect before, and this time, Mu Hanchan came with a reply from the sect.

Thinking about his mission and the unfinished business in the manor, Mu Hanchan quickened his pace.

"stop!"

The sudden sound made Mu Hanchan stop in his tracks.

I saw only four or five people wearing yellow gauze, with burnt yellow and thirsty faces. The leader of them had a moist face. The leader was from the twelfth level of Ningyuan, and the other younger brothers were from the ninth, tenth, and eleventh levels of Ningyuan.

The layers vary.

In other words, the person with the lowest cultivation level is at the same level as Mu Hanchan.

"What are you doing?" Mu Hanchan asked unhurriedly but displeasedly as the people were more than ten feet away from him and still within a safe distance.

I was already in a irritable mood, but I was blocked by someone, and judging from his appearance, he had no bad intentions.

"I am a desert robber who specializes in robbing passing monks. I will leave your luggage and the gun in my hand. I will let you go and keep you alive. Otherwise."

The monk with a moist complexion who took the lead said calmly, as if he had already determined that the prey was in hand.

While talking, he was also getting closer to Mu Hanchan, and in a blink of an eye he was several feet away.

"I am the seventh disciple of the Yunyang Sect's Yanmoshan Demon Sheng Sect, and I have been ordered by my sect to deliver a message. Please give yourself a chance and don't stop me." Mu Hanchan said with a gloomy face.

"Give yourself a chance? Hahaha..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The leader laughed as if he had heard a big joke, and the others also laughed.

Then he said: "What a loud tone. The ones we robbed are you, the so-called disciples of the Shangzong. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your brothers who came here to do the mission if they have been robbed by us."

Mu Hanchan looked at the spear in his hand and said, "Aren't you interested in a spear? OK, I'll give it to you. You can catch it."

So he threw it forward with all his strength and threw it towards the leader.
