In order to successfully complete the task on this trip, Mu Sheng gritted his teeth and bought a thousand pieces of demon beast skins in the transformation period of medium-grade spirit stones, and another thousand pieces of demon beast skins made of high-grade spirit stones.

In addition to the raw materials for drawing talismans, Mu Sheng also purchased some thousand-year-old spirit wood, which Mu Sheng used to perform Li Dai's Tao stiff technique, the longer the age of the wood, the higher the aura, and the more realistic it is to be recognized.

This Li Dai Taozhuang's technique Mu Sheng also quietly taught the second sister of the Nangong family, this technique was not learned by the sect, it was learned by Mu Sheng himself, so it was not illegal to pass it on to the two of them. It's just that to perform Li Dai's Tao Zombie technique, you need to differentiate your divine consciousness and refine it with your heart blood, Nangong Ershu is not as powerful as Mu Sheng's divine sense, and it is very painful and complicated to take the heart blood, you need to use spiritual power to force out a little heart blood from the heart, and then drip it out from your fingertips. A drop of blood from the heart needs to be nourished for a month before the qi and blood in the body can recover. Therefore, both of them only refined one stand-in, while Mu Sheng's divine sense was relatively strong, and he had the cheating artifact of Moment, so he sacrificed two more stand-ins than the two.

The preparation work was done for more than a month, in addition to buying rune paper, elixir, etc., the three of them also collected some information about local customs, mineral spiritual materials, etc., and decided to set off when they felt that they were well prepared.

Mu Sheng used these nine swords to fight with his senior brother Lu Weisong's Dragon Sword, although he still couldn't win one and a half moves in Lu Weisong's hands, but he didn't need to let Lu Weisong make a move, and the nine swords were connected and could barely resist the attack of Lu Weisong's Dragon Sword Technique. Mu Sheng was quite satisfied with this result, in the end, the time he started to practice swordsmanship was many years shorter than that of his senior brother, even if he had the help of this cheating artifact, it was impossible to catch up in a short period of time.

Mu Sheng was satisfied, but Lu Weisong was taken aback, suspecting that Mu Sheng was a genius in swordsmanship, and he could resist his own attack in such a short period of time, and his understanding of swordsmanship was simply one day at a time, improving by leaps and bounds. Mu Sheng had to explain that he had practiced the seven-star swordsmanship before cultivating the truth, so he had some skills, which dispelled Lu Weisong's doubts.

After the three of them were ready to bid farewell to their masters and embark on their journey, of course, it was not only the three of them who took over these three tasks, but the rest of the sect and even people from other sects were likely to accept this task, so the three of them did not delay after leaving the sect, and each flew towards the Great Black Mountain with a magic weapon.

Mu Sheng's sword flies, nine swords alternately appear in front of the feet in turn, its speed is like the wind, Nangong jade ring follows closely, three jade rings rotate into a jade halo at the foot, Nangong Yulan's magic weapon is extremely special, it is a wishful treasure, the shape is like a magnolia bud-like hairpin, usually inserted on the head, taken off from the head when used, transformed into a treasure staff.

Nangong Yulan stepped on the scepter, flying like the flying staff of the Musheng Imperial Sword, the three of them came to the vicinity of the Great Black Mountain in a few days, and collected the magic weapon and landed in the woods on a flat land, this place is still some distance away from the Great Black Mountain, and you can see the bursts of black fog shrouded in the Great Black Mountain in the distance, which is the closest market town to the Great Black Mountain.

The three of them got out of the woods and walked towards the market town, changed their usual clothes, and did not wear the Zongmen costumes of Yuanshengmen. The three of them took out the waist card of the Yuansheng Gate, and the guards of the city gate checked their identities before letting the three of them in.

There are not many houses in this market town, all of them are low-rise bungalows, and occasionally there are a few high-rise households, either the government or the rich families in the town. At this time, it was late autumn, and the three of them were all masters of the Jindan period, so they didn't feel cold. But the three of them found that under the eaves of the low-slung bungalows, there were refugees lying or sitting with their clothes.

"What's going on?" Nangong Yuhuan said strangely, there was no mention of this matter in the information that the three of them checked before coming.

Mu Sheng frowned slightly and said, "Let's go to the teahouse over there to find out a thing or two." ”

Nangong Yulan nodded, and the servants found a nearby teahouse and sat in. The teahouse is not big, and it seems that it has not been opened for a long time, the three of them found a table and sat down, and Xiao Er ran over diligently and asked the three of them what to drink.

Nangong Yulan said: "What kind of good tea do you have here?"

Xiao Er said embarrassedly: "Our teahouse has not been opened for a long time, and there is no good tea, it is nothing more than some ordinary spiritual tea, such as cloud pieces, Mao Feng, flower tea, spring buds, etc. As he spoke, he handed the tea list to Nangong Yulan.

Nangong Yulan saw that it was really just some ordinary trading spirit tea, and there was no special tea leaves, so she quietly handed the tea list back to Xiao Erdao: "I heard that you don't produce a kind of black mountain tea here? Why is there no item on the tea list?" ”

Xiao Er smiled when he heard this: "I didn't expect the fairy to be quite clear about our local products, yes, we used to produce black mountain tea, but I think the fairy has also heard about the black fog of the Great Black Mountain, since the black fog shrouded the mountain, no one can come out of it." No one dared to go up the mountain to pick tea again, so this black mountain tea would not be produced. ”

Nangong Yulan nodded and asked, "I see." But according to what you say, all industries should wither, why is your market town so lively, even your teahouse has opened?"

Xiao Er explained with a smile on his face: "A few people don't know, since this black fog shrouded the mountain, the surrounding people have lost the capital to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and they have all run out, our market town is the closest market town to the big black mountain, so some of them are worried about their families, and those who don't want to run far will settle here, waiting for the opportunity to go back." ”

Mu Sheng frowned and asked, "Even so, it seems that there is no need to sleep on the streets, right?" ”

Xiao Er looked left and right, and then whispered: "What the Immortal Chief said was before, but the black fog has shown signs of spreading recently, and it is gradually spreading down from the mountain." ”

"So that's the case, but it's a bit of a sin to wait like this!" Nangong Yuhuan said sympathetically.

"Isn't it?" Xiao Er sighed, wrote down the tea ordered by the three of them, and turned around and left.

The three of them glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that the black fog of this big black mountain would change faster than the introduction they saw on the jade slip a few days ago, I don't know if there was any mutation?

As soon as Xiao Er finished brewing the tea ordered by the three of them, he heard one of them shouting: "Xiao Er, quickly pour a bowl of tea for the master." The three of them inquired about the reputation, and saw a bearded man walk in from outside the teahouse, sitting on a chair at the tea table and drinking.

Xiao Er hurried over, and asked with a smile, "What kind of tea does the fairy chief want to drink?"

"How can you be so exquisite, you just have two big bowls of tea to quench your thirst. The big man shouted.
