Chapter 25 Tao Te Ching
In the City Lord's Mansion, Meng Feihan's face was already swollen, and He Ranchen sat in his seat and kept lucky, his face turned pale with anger.
He worked hard to scavenge the people's fat and people's ointment, and only then did he save 200,000 taels of silver, which was the silver of the white flowers, and now there were only three Wens left, and the culprit Mu Yun had returned to the Beixuan faction with the medicinal materials.
"The fox didn't catch it, and you made a fuss! You really didn't succeed enough to lose!" He Ranchen scolded.
As he spoke, he stood up and kicked Meng Feihan again.
Meng Feihan got up from the ground, knelt in front of He Ranchen, and cried: "My lord, I don't know that this Muyun is so cunning! It's no wonder that Song Nanshan doesn't understand my eyes! Lord County Shou spares his life!"
As Meng Feihan spoke, he sucked back the hara that had been swollen from the kicking at the corners of his mouth.
"My lord, why don't we find someone from the Dark Domain to kill him and let him spit out the money!" Meng Feihan said.
When He Ranchen heard this, his face turned gloomy, and he kicked Meng Feihan in the face, and said angrily: "I co-opted him to deal with the Dark Domain, and I also bought the Dark Domain to deal with him? If it weren't for my uncle's only son, I would have chopped you up a long time ago to feed the dog!"
In fact, He Ranchen's purpose in wooing Mu Yun was to deal with the Dark Domain, which had always been the sworn enemy of the Southern Heavenly Imperial Family, and the local governments naturally became the targets of attack.
The dark domain is not an army, it is often a small group of battles, and there is no way to send an army to encircle and suppress it, so it is necessary for local officials to find their own ways to deal with it, and it is the simplest and most effective way to win over local sects to deal with the dark domain.
"Find the Xue Alliance Master of the Five Sects Alliance!" He Ranchen said with a gloomy face.
And at this time, Mu Yun had already returned to the Beixuan Sect, not to mention how cool it was to go to Tianmang City this time.
Originally, I was going to sell a few tempering pills, but I didn't expect a big man to come halfway, and Mu Yun's storage rings were all blown up, and later I reluctantly brought them back with the VIP card of the Golden Pavilion.
"Senior Brother in charge, aren't you afraid of the county guard's retaliation if you do this?" Wan Shuliang asked.
Mu Yun had already told Wan Shuliang and Du Yuanwu what had happened, and both of them were shocked.
Mu Yun smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? He Zhanchen didn't plan to trap me in the first place? Could it be that he stood there and let him trap him? His own subordinates are stupid and can't complain about others." ”
"Then what are you going to do next?" Du Yuanwu asked with some concern.
Mu Yun thought for a moment and said, "What's next!"
"You have pitted He Ranchen for 200,000 taels, do you think he will give up?" Du Yuanwu said.
Mu Yun smiled and said: "You don't understand this! You said that there are so many sects in Mangjun this day, why did he just set his sights on our sect that is not in the stream? He must have his own difficulties, as long as this difficulty is not solved, he will still come to me!"
Du Yuanwu nodded and didn't speak.
Mu Yun then asked again, "What is the situation with Lu Yongyan and Chen Xuanyi?"
"Chen Xuanyi's progress is very fast, and now his cultivation has reached the triple level of the Pulse Washing Realm. And Lu Yongyan ......, "Wan Shuliang only said half of it.
"Huh?" Mu Yun asked.
Wan Shuliang took a deep breath and said, "Lu Yongyan's cultivation progress is very slow, and he is still stuck in the fifth level of the forging realm. ”
Hearing this, Mu Yun frowned, there are only two disciples with such honorable qualifications in his own sect, but they obviously use the same resources and pills, but why is one in the sky and one underground?
"What's wrong with Lu Yongyan?" asked Mu Yun.
Wan Shuliang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's normal! I just like Taoist scriptures, but it's not unusual!"
Mu Yun nodded, this is indeed not unusual, but a disciple with a supreme qualification is still in the body forging realm for a month in the environment of three times the tempering pill, this is indeed a strange phenomenon.
"I'll take a look tomorrow!" Mu Yun said.
Then he handed over the medicinal materials from He Zhanchen's pit to Wan Shuliang. After letting him store it in the Tibetan Dan Building, Mu Yun entered the mind space, because there were too few tasks recently.
"What's your situation?The recent tasks are all difficult tasks, isn't there an easy one?" Mu Yun said to the system screen.
System: "Big brother, isn't the side quest already open? Do you blame me for not taking the quest yourself? I'm only responsible for the distribution of some difficult side quests and main quests. ”
Mu Yun suddenly came back to his senses, as if there was such a thing, this pig brain, wasted a lot of contribution points in vain.
Click on the spendline task panel, and sure enough, ten neat tasks are placed there.
Suddenly, Mu Yun's eyes lit up, and a different task appeared in front of Mu Yun.
"Side quest: Send a disciple to Burning White Village to solve the fire wolf that attacked at night for the village chief. Reward: 15 Sect Contribution Points. ”
"It turned out to be a disciple mission!" Mu Yun exclaimed.
System: "Side quests will be randomly refreshed, the difficulty coefficient will be random, and the characters who complete the quest will also be different." ”
Mu Yun nodded, thinking to himself in his heart, "Flame Wolf, a first-order demon beast, the Forging Body Realm can solve it!"
After taking the task, Mu Yun walked out of the main hall and walked in the direction of the disciple's residence. Looking at the buildings of the Northern Xuan Sect, the appearance of the City Lord's Mansion and the Golden Pavilion kept appearing in his heart, Mu Yun couldn't help but sigh, and silently strengthened his will to make money.
At this time, Chen Xuanyi was frantically absorbing aura, burdened with the pain of annihilation, his efforts in cultivation were incomparable to others, he only slept for two hours a day, and the rest of the time was all in cultivation.
Now that the cultivation has been improved by two levels, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong has reached the stage of integration, and now the strength of the physical body has reached the power of the Seven Ox, that is, three thousand five hundred catties, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary monks in the Triple Realm of Washing the Vein.
Boss Zhu, the big boss of Huya Village, who died in the hands of Mu Yun, has an eightfold cultivation in the Pulse Washing Realm, and his physical strength is only eight cattle, about four thousand catties, and he can reach ten oxen through martial arts.
And now Chen Xuanyi, even if he is afraid of Boss Zhu, he will not fall behind. That was much stronger than Mu Yun at that time, after all, he had taken the tempering pill to increase his strength from the beginning, which was a treatment that Mu Yun did not have.
"Master!" Chen Xuan saluted.
Mu Yun got straight to the point and said, "I have something to do for you." ”
Chen Xuanyi didn't hesitate and said, "The disciple obeys the arrangement of the master. ”
Mu Yun shook his head and said, "It's not that serious, it's just a first-order flame wolf." ”
"Yes, disciple is going now!" Chen Xuan was about to go out, but he just took two steps and turned back, and asked, "Where is it, master!"
Mu Yun told Chen Xuanyi the location of the burning white village, and then watched him leave. With his cultivation, it was not difficult to deal with the first-order flame wolf, but this round trip would take two or three days.
After watching Chen Xuanyi leave, Mu Yun turned around and entered the disciple's residence, ready to go and see the somewhat weird Lu Yongyan. Lu Yongyan is younger than Chen Xuanyi, and he has less on his body.
At this time, Lu Yongyan was holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching and was fascinated by it, and he didn't even notice it when Mu Yun entered the house.
It stands to reason that it is actually beneficial for practitioners to look at the works of Confucianism and Taoism, after all, whether it is the Buddha's mantra or Huang Laozhi's sayings, they are all summarized by generations of predecessors, and they are all painstaking works.
If you can penetrate the mysteries, then cultivation will inevitably be a rising tide.
But this Lu Yongyan put the cart before the horse, and completely focused on the Taoist scriptures, without the slightest diligence of Chen Xuanyi.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Mu Yun pretended to cough twice, originally planning to attract Lu Yongyan's attention, but unexpectedly, Lu Yongyan opened his mouth and said: "Senior Brother Huang, don't make trouble, I saw the critical moment!"
"Ahem...... Cough ......" Mu Yun coughed twice.
Lu Yongyan was a little impatient, and when he looked up and wanted to speak, he suddenly found that it was Mu Yun who was in front of him, and the curse words in his mouth were stunned.
"Palm...... Boss!" Lu Yongyan stuffed the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand backwards.
The Southern Heavenly Realm is different from Mu Yun's previous life, the Tao Te Ching in the previous life was only a book that expounded Taoist thoughts, but in the Southern Heavenly Realm, it is indeed a martial arts book, and the level is not low.
If you are in another sect, you will be severely punished, and learning the exercises of other sects is tantamount to betraying your master.
But Mu Yun was not afraid of this, because if Lu Yongyan betrayed his master or originally joined the Northern Xuan Sect with a purpose, Suo Lingzhu would have called the police a long time ago, and would immediately erase all Lu Yongyan's memories of the Northern Xuan Sect.
Since the lock spirit bead did not react, it means that Lu Yongyan has no intention of rebelling, but if this is the case, then where did this "Tao Te Ching" come from?
"Who gave you this exercise?" asked Mu Yun.
Although Lu Yongyan had no intention of rebelling, he didn't dare to guarantee that someone with a heart was taking advantage of him.
Lu Yongyan pondered for a moment and said, "Master, I definitely didn't lie to you, this was given to me by an old Taoist priest in my dream on the first night of my entry!"
When Mu Yun heard this, he raised his eyebrows, since there is such a thing as teaching in a dream in the Southern Heaven Realm! Mu Yun vaguely remembered that when he listened to the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in his previous life, Cheng Biting Jin's Tiangang Thirty-six Axes seemed to have been learned in a dream.
"Have you seen this old Taoist priest before?" asked Mu Yun.
Lu Yongyan did not hesitate and said, "No! ”
"Then did your parents mention anything like a Taoist priest?" Mu Yun continued.
Speaking of this, the expression on Lu Yongyan's face suddenly darkened, and he said: "I have no parents, I am an orphan, I came to Yaobai Village three years ago, and it was the village chief who adopted me. ”
When Mu Yun heard this, he seemed to have found something wrong, and continued to ask: "You are not a villager of Yaobai Village, so where are you from?"
Lu Yongyan's eyes were closed, as if he was thinking about something, but after a long time, he opened his eyes in frustration and said, "Master, my memory is only after I arrived in Burning White Village, as for before, I can't remember it at all." ”
Mu Yun sighed, Lu Yongyan's appearance didn't look like a lie, it seemed that he also had the same mysterious past behind him.
