"Congratulations, Brother Shi. I didn't expect you to have such a deep knowledge of talisman making, and if you have time in the future, you hope to give more guidance in the next two or two. Feng Li walked over at this moment and said with a smile.

"Brother Feng has won the award, we will ask each other for advice in the future. Shi Muke said two sentences, and Feng Li also said goodbye and left.

"Senior Brother Shi, please come with me. I also need to tell you about the Kunzi Stone Chamber. After everyone had left, Aomine turned to Shi Mu and said a word, while walking in the direction of the open stone room.

Shi Mu answered and followed Qingfeng to the door of the stone room.

Shi Mu looked up and saw that in the center of the stone gate, there was a cyan word "Kun" inscribed.

The two pushed open the door of the Kunzi room, and inside was a stone room with a size of about ten zhang, in addition to the stone bed and other things, all kinds of talismans were well equipped.

Runes are carved on the four walls, and it seems that it should be the Guiyuan Circle that Qingfeng said in his mouth.

"This is the identity token of the Rat Hive stronghold, you are good to put it away. In addition, it is also required to activate the Returning Circle here. Qingfeng said, took out a white jade pendant-like thing from his arms, and handed it to Shi Mu.

Shi Mu nodded, took it, and injected mana into it, and shook it slightly in the air.

Suddenly, a white light erupted from the jade pendant and spread out in all directions.

The runes on the four walls lit up slightly, and a cool air flow faintly emerged in the air of the room, as if a fresh breeze was blowing in the face.

Shi Mu only felt that the moment this air flow reached his body, his spirit was lifted, and both his mana and physical strength recovered at a speed of about one-third faster than usual.

Shi Mu nodded, very satisfied with the environment here.

"Okay, junior brother has made another long journey and tried again, so you can recuperate and recharge a little bit today. Tomorrow someone will distribute tasks to you. After Qingfeng finished explaining, he said goodbye and left.

Shi Mu looked around in the stone room, then pushed the door and walked out.

He happened to have time today, so he planned to take a good look around.

......

It's night, in the stone chamber of Kunzi.

Shi Mu sat cross-legged on the bed. Silently operating the Heavenly Phenomena True Qi in his body, after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

He'd walked around the colony today, and he had a general idea of what was going on here.

The interior of this place extends in all directions. In fact, there is an entrance and exit in the four directions of east, west, north and south, which is quite similar to the hole of the rat, which is worthy of its name of "rat's nest".

On weekdays, all the talisman masters only need to complete the alliance talisman task arranged by the master surnamed Fang, and they are usually quite free.

Some talisman masters have nothing but cultivation in their spare time. You will go to the jade side of the talisman hall to pick up some small tasks and earn merit points.

In addition, Lancheng, which is not far from this stronghold, is a large stronghold of the Alliance, and in addition to purchasing supplies and sundries, you can also exchange the accumulated merits for a lot of cultivation resources, which is quite convenient.

Such an environment is exactly what Shi Mu wants, and his Prajna Heavenly Phenomena Skill has now reached the fourth layer of bottlenecks, and it needs a steady period of time to concentrate on cultivation.

It's just that......

Shi Mu frowned slightly, and the figure of Jin Xiaochai appeared in front of him. When he thought of the strange gaze that this woman looked at him, he always felt a little hairy in his heart.

Fortunately, he had already learned that Jin Xiaochai was not an elder arranged by the alliance in this stronghold, so he was a little relieved.

It's just that he really can't figure out where he can attract the attention of this innate powerhouse.

Shi Mu was thinking about it when there was a knock on the stone door.

His eyes moved, he got up and opened the door, and there was a blue-robed young man standing outside, it was Feng Li.

"It turned out to be Brother Feng, please come in. Shi Mu's face did not show the slightest discoloration. With a faint smile, he stepped out of the way.

"I came here and didn't disturb Brother Shi, right?"

"Why, I just came here, and I happen to have a lot to ask Brother Feng. ”

After some pleasantries. The two politely sat down at the stone table.

"Alas, I can't imagine that we, who were apprentices in the martial arts hall at the beginning, can meet here again today. Speaking of which, you killed the Jin family and Jin Tian at the beginning, and you also offended the Wu family. Not only did the two families offer heavy rewards, but I heard that they also sent the acquired warriors of the clan to hunt you down...... Unexpectedly, Brother Shi not only escaped successfully. Also joined the Black Devil Gate. Feng Li seemed to think of Fengcheng's matter, and said with some emotion.

"Everything is also a coincidence, and creation makes people. Shi Mu also recalled the events of the year, sighed lightly, and a delicate figure flashed in his mind.

Speaking of which, he joined the Black Demon Gate by mistake and had an inseparable relationship with Zhong Xiu.

According to Ke'er, after Zhong Xiu was brought back to the Miaoyin Sect by Ye Hongyao, he was greatly valued because of his bloodline power, and he has been in retreat since then, and this barbarian war will not appear.

In this way, he didn't have to worry about the safety of this woman, but he couldn't easily meet her.

Shi Mu turned these thoughts in his heart, chatted with Feng Li in his mouth, and roughly described the process of the two sides joining the sect.

According to Feng Li, a year after Shi Mu left Fengcheng, the Black Fox would be wiped out by another gang, and most of the Black Fox Guild gang members were eliminated, and only a few escaped with their lives.

After Feng Li escaped by luck, he joined a gang of bandits, and became a small leader because of his good strength, once he blocked the road and cut the path to intercept a dart team, and accidentally got a Xuanwu Sect's entry token from one of the young people, so he joined the Xuanwu Sect in a daze.

Shi Mu was a little skeptical about Feng Li's experience, especially the part where he finally joined the Xuanwu Sect was a little vague, but he didn't have the heart to get to the bottom of it.

"Brother Shi has changed a lot over the years, and I almost didn't recognize him when I first met. Feng Li said with a smile.

"Brother Feng is the same! Xuanwu Sect is worthy of being one of the seven sects, and the exercises within the sect are so mysterious that they can actually rejuvenate people. Shi Mu asked seemingly casually.

"Hehe, this is the effect of a technique called the Rising Sun Jue that I practiced, and it has no other effect than being able to maintain its youthful appearance. Feng Li listened and said with a wry smile.

"I see...... By the way, Brother Feng, do you know how Aunt Zhen and my sister are doing now? I was also in a big disaster back then, I don't know if it affected them?" Shi Mu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

Back then, Aunt Zhen treated him well, and Shi Yuhuan was the only person he was related to by blood now, so he naturally cared about him very much.

"Senior Brother Shi killed Jin Tian back then, which can be regarded as a great thing in Fengcheng, and even the ancestors of the Jin family were shocked. Your Aunt Zhen heard that she was also implicated, but it was not serious, she was just punished and grounded in the clan. And your sister Shi Yuhuan was admitted to the Kaiyuan Martial Academy, and now I don't know why. Feng Li thought about it and said.

After Shi Mu heard this, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two chatted casually for a few more words, Feng Li said goodbye and left.

......

In the middle of the night, everything is silent, and the moon hangs high in the sky.

At this moment, at the western exit of the Rat Hive stronghold, a figure quietly escaped and quickly shuttled between the mountains, it was Shi Mu.

After a stick of incense, he found a flat place halfway up a mountain peak and sat down cross-legged.

The moonlight shone down and shone on his body, and Shi Mu soon entered the dream.

......

Necromantic interface.

A flat area near a tall mountain peak, which looked like a pothole, and near the foot of the mountain there was a pool of water the size of a foot.

On the edge of the waterhole, scattered bones lie on the ground, of different sizes, but in terms of numbers, at least six complete skeletons can be put together.

Bubbles bubble up from time to time on the surface of the pool, except for the water quality and abnormal blood infrared, I really can't see anything strange.

Yan Luo was lying under this puddle at the moment, his mouth slowly opening and closing, as if he was constantly inhaling the blood and spit it out.

After the skeleton swallowed once, the red color in the pool dimmed a little.

After an unknown period of time, the color of this small area of water became transparent, and the red substance in it had completely disappeared.

"Whoa" sounded.

The flame of the soul in Yanluo's eye socket flashed, and he suddenly stood up from the waterhole.

Since the contract was made by Shi Mu, more than two years have passed.

Yan Luo didn't look much different from before, but his body was much stronger than before, and the soul fire in his eyes was much stronger than before.

Compared with before, in addition to an extra bone knife on the skeleton's body, it also has some rudimentary bone armor on its body, covering the arms, pelvis and other important joints.

At this moment, the skeleton looked down at the pool of water beneath its feet.

Above the water, the moonlight poured by the twelve blood moons shone on it.

The originally transparent water is faintly red, but it is extremely slow, and it does not take long to return to its original color.

Yan Luo withdrew his gaze, no longer focused on the water, and turned to walk into the distance.

......

The sky will be bright.

On the mountainside near the Rat Hive stronghold, Shi Mu's body shook and woke up from his dream.

A month later, Kunzi was in the stone chamber.

Shi Mu sat on the stone bed, holding a white jade porcelain vase in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

During this time, with his excellent talisman making skills, he repeatedly helped the stronghold complete the alliance's emergency tasks, and gradually won the recognition of the talisman master and Master Fang here.

Under Master Fang's instructions, he can now go to the stronghold's treasury to get talisman materials at will, just like the other two spirit level talisman masters, but if he uses them for his own use, he needs to exchange merit points for them.

And just a few days ago, when a red-letter mission issued by the alliance, he completed the task again in a record-breaking way, and was awarded a wall-breaking pill by the alliance.

As the name suggests, the Wall Breaking Pill is an elixir that assists in breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation, and it is even more effective for acquired martial artists, but because it is extremely difficult to refine, it is usually priceless.

With this medicine, it is naturally expected to break through the fourth layer of the bottleneck of the Prajna Celestial Phenomenon in one fell swoop.

The measurement in his heart has been determined, Shi Mu casually put the white jade porcelain bottle by his side, and then closed his eyes on the bed and breathed.

(Khan, I haven't gone out for a few days, and I feel like I'm in a trance!) )
