Chapter 283: Crisis
Great Xia World, late at night, in the Longmen headquarters, in the office of Lin Tianheng.
"Chief, about the fact that Shepherd Geng, who just reported to Lu Jiang, may have sacrificed his entire family to break through the Ten Heavens with blood, do you ......?"
Bai Yu, who was wearing light makeup, looked twenty-four or five years old, wearing a white OL suit, and had a graceful figure, stood in front of Lin Tianheng's desk, and spoke with a solemn expression.
"Leave him alone."
Lin Tianheng was sitting at his desk, holding a pen on his wrist, and slowly writing something on the spacious desk with a simple copper-rod brush.
While writing, he said, "The matter of Mu Changgeng is just a guess after all, not to mention that we don't have any conclusive evidence, even if there is, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, as long as the affairs of the Mu family do not interfere with ordinary people, we will still not be able to manage it." ”
Although the Dragon Gate is strong, the Great Xia family has been deeply rooted for thousands of years after all, and no matter how strong the Dragon Gate is, it cannot form a crushing trend at present, it can only be said that it can have more advantages in the case of mutual compromise with the family.
For example, in the relationship between the cultivation world and the world of ordinary people, the agreement between the Dragon Gate and the family is that between the cultivators, what happens in the cultivation world, as long as it does not involve ordinary people, the Dragon Gate cannot interfere.
But once a cultivator affects an ordinary person, all the crimes are determined by the Dragon Gate, and the family must not interfere in the slightest, theoretically, as long as the Dragon Gate is willing, a child of a family can be executed even if he steals an ordinary person's wallet by virtue of cultivation.
Of course, Longmen's method of dealing with the family is generally in strict accordance with the laws of Great Xia, neither lenient nor deliberately aggravated, the pass that should be passed, the punishment that should be punished, and the death that should be killed, in addition, it is just a punishment of "abolishing cultivation" for cultivators.
The matter of the Mu family belongs to the private affairs within the family, not to mention that it can't be out of the cultivation world, if nothing else, before Mu Chang Geng breaks through the Ten Heavens, the impact of this matter can't even leave the Mu family.
The rivers and lakes are in trouble, and without affecting ordinary people, Longmen, as a "yamen", cannot take the initiative to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, even if they have the evidence that the shepherd Geng wants to sacrifice the blood of the whole clan, they have no position to stop it.
"Having said that, but once Mu Chang Geng breaks through, I'm afraid our advantage over the family will be wiped out immediately," Bai Yu Xiuya's willow eyebrows frowned, "Mu Chang Geng, as the ancestor of the Mu family, I'm afraid he won't choose to take the initiative to break away from the worldly ...... like the other three Ten Heavens."
"He can't break through." Lin Tianheng said in a firm tone.
He was carrying a pen and slowly writing something on the fine rice paper spread on the table, but due to the angle, Bai Yu couldn't see what he was writing clearly, and with Lin Tianheng's cultivation, she couldn't guess by the way his arm moved.
"Breaking through the Ten Heavens is indeed an extremely difficult thing, but with the talent and talent that Mu Chang Geng once showed, and then using the blood sacrifice as a propulsion, there may not be no possibility of a breakthrough......
"He can't break through," Lin Tianheng was unmoved, "The Ten Heavens didn't break through like this, and even if he broke through, he wouldn't be the Ten Heavens." ”
"But what if ......"
Bai Yu was still a little uneasy, she felt that today's Lin Tianheng seemed to be a little too arbitrary.
"There is no case, he wants to gallop south and north, and he wants to break through, it's just a fool's dream, anyway, he is destined to be impossible to break through, so why should we make extraneous branches."
Lin Tianheng sneered, his face faintly revealing disdain.
"Alas......"
Bai Yu sighed, knowing that it was impossible for him to convince Lin Tianheng, so he could only pray in his heart that Mu Zihan, who had fled to the Bashu Tang Gate for refuge in Lu Jiang's report, would go well, and not let Mu Changgeng really be able to do the blood sacrifice clan.
"Since you say so, chief, then I'll go first."
No matter how much he stayed, he couldn't change Lin Tianheng's thoughts, Bai Yu shook his head slightly, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait," Lin Tianheng suddenly stopped Bai Yu, who was about to turn around, hung the copper brush in his hand on the pen stand, flicked his sleeves, and dried the ink soaked in rice paper on the table, "You help me frame this letter, print my private seal, and send it to Mu's family and give it to Mu Changgeng." ”
Lin Tianheng waved his hand, and a small and simple stone seal and rice paper on the table flew towards Bai Yu.
"What is this?"
Bai Yu took the seal and the letterhead, and did not look at the contents on it, but looked up at Lin Tianheng and said.
"It's nothing, it's just a piece of advice I gave to Mu Changgeng," Lin Tianheng said lightly, "If you are curious, you can see for yourself." ”
Bai Yu unfolded the rice paper in her hand, and the sharp artistic conception contained in the ink made her can't help but squint her stinging eyes slightly.
On the slightly yellowed rice paper, the ink mixed with cinnabar leaves large dark red characters on it, and the iron hook and silver scratch are like gun marks and sword marks, revealing a trembling edge.
There is a way in life and death, and only the king takes it for himself.
……
"Lu Jiang," Bai Yu, who sent the letter to the Mu family, put the mobile phone to his ear and ordered Lu Jiang on the other side of the phone, "I will give you an urgent task, now put down everything you have at hand, go to Bashu immediately, and assist Mu Zihan and his cousin in entering the Tang Gate." ”
"Yes!"
Lu Jiang, who reported the information that Mu Zihan had told him and her whereabouts, held his mobile phone in his hand, and his frowning brows stretched out, and he should have been.
Hanging up the phone, Bai Yu slumped back in his office chair, glanced at the office where he was alone, kicked off his high heels, and stepped on the cold floor with his feet in black stockings.
Thanks to his slender and straight legs and the strong flexibility brought about by his cultivation, even if he collapsed on the wide office chair like a salted fish, Bai Yu could still easily keep the soles of his feet firmly attached to the ground.
The cold and hard touch spread to the soles of his feet through the stockings, making Bai Yu temporarily let go of his chaotic thoughts, and the willow eyebrows that had been frowning slightly also stretched.
After being paralyzed for a while, Bai Yu barely straightened up, took off the stockings tightly wrapped around the slender jade legs, stuffed them into the handbag next to the desk, and pressed the soles of his completely naked feet to the ground, his toes rhythmically tapping the ground.
This woman, who is at least twice the actual age of Gu Yunze in this life, hummed softly while beating the beat with her toes.
This kind of childish behavior is a habit she has always had, and whenever she feels tired from overusing her brain, she will find an opportunity to relax her tense nerves in this way.
Of course, this kind of image destruction and some shame thing, she will definitely avoid others, so far, the only one who has seen her like this with her own eyes is the bastard named Gu Yunze [beep-]
The smiling face that was extremely beaten unconsciously appeared in his mind, and the corners of Bai Yu's mouth twitched, tearing someone's face hard in his mind.
"Alas...... If there really is an accident, I hope you can stop the pastor Geng......"
Bai Yu sighed in his heart, put down an unrealistic idea, stepped on the floor barefoot, sat on the office chair and straightened up, and began to process the documents he had sent earlier.
Bai Yue hummed softly, while tapping the ground with her white and round toes, beating the beat, recalling the boy who was once quite young in front of her, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise slightly.
……
Bashu, Bishan, in the forest.
Jiang Shaohan, Mu Yaxi and Mu Zihan lifted their breath and threw themselves up, their bodies deftly shuttling through the dense trees, their feet stepping on the thick fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.
Bishan is not the name of a mountain, but a general name for all the large and small peaks within a radius of dozens of miles, centered on the peak of Tangmen Station.
The land of Bashu is mountainous and watery, and the large and small peaks are endless, and it is impossible to name them one by one.
Moreover, this place is poor and bad, there is no fertile land, and there are many wild beasts, except for the Tang Sect since ancient times, it has been inaccessible, not to mention that no one has named these mountains, even if it is, it has no meaning.
The main reason why Tangmen set up its station in such a place where the mountains and rivers are poor and the birds don't poop is that they want to take advantage of the natural danger in order to calmly deal with some crises.
The secondary reason is that according to the rules of the Dragon Gate, the family land and the clan residence cannot appear in a prosperous place.
Before the establishment of Longmen, the Tang Gate, which had been inherited for thousands of years, was reluctant to move out of such natural barriers, and after the establishment of Longmen, Tang Gate was not only unwilling to move out of Bishan, but also could not move into the city.
In fact, not to mention a prosperous place, even if it is an obscure and unremarkable eighteenth-tier town, it is an untouchable place for families and sects.
It can be said that wherever there is a permanent population, even if it is just a village, the clan land and sect residence of the family must be far away from it.
After the Longmen was established and gradually became stronger to a certain extent, the families and sects that originally set up their clan lands and stations in the city were also ordered by the Longmen to move to uninhabited places one by one.
In this process, there was a family that had barely reached the edge of the first-class power in the cultivation world, and it had to challenge the authority of the Dragon Gate, and the clan land in the city was reluctant to leave, and as a result, it was uprooted by the Dragon Gate overnight.
There were more than 300 members of the entire family, but all those who stepped into the path of cultivation, one counted, and they all turned into corpses overnight and were thrown into the sea, and there was not even a place to bury their bones.
There is also a reason why Longmen is so tough on this kind of thing, mainly to avoid being tied up when there is a conflict with the family in the future.
Leaning on the official behind him, there is never a shortage of heavy modern weapons in the hands of the Dragon Gate, and when facing cultivators above the Seventh Heavens, ordinary heavy weapons may seem pale and powerless, but when they are used to kill most of the ordinary cultivators of the family, the effect is wonderful.
As long as you have these weapons in hand, your own masters can contain the enemy masters, and the cultivators of the Dragon Gate can control these weapons, you can easily deal with most of the ordinary children of the family.
But everything has to be built on the basis that there are no ordinary people around, and the terrain can't be too complicated.
Once the family set up the clan land in a prosperous city, relying on the steel forest made of reinforced concrete, it can immediately make ninety percent of the heavy weapons of the Dragon Gate be abolished.
When the time comes, once the family's low-end combat power relies on these "natural bunkers" and Longmen's low-end combat power to fight in the streets, then I don't know how many lives I have to throw into it.
Because of this, almost all the clans are in the desert, and the Tang Sect, which has guarded the natural dangers since ancient times and is not interested in the city, is good to say, those families who were forced out of the city by Longmen have always had countless MMP to talk about in their hearts.
"So don't complain, not only is this the case with the Tang Sect, thanks to the Dragon Sect, almost all the families in the cultivation world are 'hidden from the world', even if we go to other families, the road will not be much better than that of the Tang Sect."
While jogging at a constant speed, Mu Yaxi said to Jiang Shaohan.
"Am I complaining about the distance? What I'm complaining about is that you can get lost in the mountains at such a life-or-death juncture! I doubt that I owe you a peach blossom debt in my last life, and I have to risk my life to pay it back in this life! ”
Jiang Shaohan carried a small mountaineering bag lightly, rolled his eyes, and spoke.
"You and Cousin Zihan ignored the summons of the family and disappeared directly, as long as a smart person in your family speculated that you came back to join the Tang Sect, then we would be in danger, and now we are still lost, so we simply took the initiative to reduce the difficulty for the pursuers."
"It's impossible, it's only been a long time now, even if they can react, but Hanzhong and Bashu are thousands of miles apart, and when they rush over, we should have arrived at Tangmen early...... Well, if we're not very lost. ”
Mu Yaxi also felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned uncontrollably rosy.
As a closed semi-secluded sect, although it is not an old antique that knows nothing about the modern world, it is indeed inevitable that there is no network and no signal, and you can only use satellite phones.
But unfortunately, Mu Yaxi did not have a direct way to contact his maternal grandfather, although the Tang Sect had a satellite phone, but it was only used for official business, that is, to contact other forces.
Mu Yaxi didn't know the number of Tangmen's satellite phone, and the few exchanges she had with her grandfather on weekdays relied on the "exclusive express" of the cultivation world to send letters.
After all, Mrs. Tang is also an old man in his hundreds, and even if he is given a satellite phone, he probably still prefers to write letters.
Therefore, there was a very fatal situation - Mu Yaxi was unable to contact the people of the Tang Sect to pick them up.
Mu Yaxi was actually not too worried about this, after all, they were all cultivators, with their foot strength, tens or hundreds of miles were not too far, and it wouldn't be long before they could enter the actual control of the Tang Sect, and they didn't have to worry about being chased and intercepted by the people sent by the family.
If they weren't lost.
"Don't worry, junior brother, the people of the family won't chase after them now, how can they ...... so fast"
Mu Yaxi's words were ruthlessly interrupted by Jiang Shaohan in the middle of speaking.
He stopped, raised his head expressionlessly, pointed to the two small black dots hovering in the sky, and said, "Those two goshawks have been following us all the way for almost half an hour. ”
"What?"
Mu Yaxi exclaimed, raised her head, looked into the sky, and sure enough, she saw two small black dots that had been circling.
"I don't think it's a coincidence......"
Jiang Shaohan took out a telescope from his mountaineering bag and handed it to Mu Yaxi.
Mu Yaxi took the telescope and looked at the two small black dots hovering in the air again.
"It seems to be the silver-blooded iron feather eagle specially used in the family to search," Mu Yaxi handed the telescope to Mu Zihan with a grim face, "Cousin, you can confirm it." ”
"That's right, it's the Silver-Blooded Iron Feather Eagle," Mu Zihan's face was solemn as he looked at the sky with a telescope, "The Silver-Blooded Iron Feather Eagle is a strange beast cultivated by the family, and it is born with the ability to accurately identify targets at an altitude of thousands of meters. ”
"Since it is identified through the art of looking at qi, whether the target is to change the appearance or hide the aura, it is impossible to escape their tracking."
Mu Zihan bit her lower lip tightly and introduced the silver-blooded iron feather eagle to Jiang Shaohan.
"......" The corners of Jiang Shaohan's mouth twitched twice, and he couldn't help but complain, "Your family is really rich." ”
"The Blood-Drinking Iron Feather Eagle is an extremely precious beast, even if there are only four in the family, I didn't expect to dispatch two ...... at once for us."
There was even some emotion in Mu Yaxi's tone.
"To be honest, I feel honored right now, and I kind of want to give a 3,000-word testimonial on the spot."
The more nervous he was in his heart, the stronger Jiang Shaohan's desire to complain.
"When we survive, you can lie in bed with me and tell me 30,000 words," Mu Yaxi glanced at Jiang Shaohan, "But if we don't think about a way, I'm afraid we will have to sleep in the same coffin at most." ”
"That's not the right place to give me a speech."
Jiang Shaohan's thoughts were racing fast, looking for a way to break the situation and survive, but he couldn't stop complaining in his mouth.
"The old lady's bed is not for you to give speeches," Mu Yaxi, who was also thinking about countermeasures, glared at Jiang Shaohan, "As long as we can survive this time, you can let me do what I should do on the bed with you in the coffin!" ”
In the woods, hundreds of meters away from Jiang Shaohan and the others, Hilyat, who was hidden in shape, was wearing a white sword robe, and a slender and slender sheathed long sword hung from his slender waist.
The invisible sword qi surrounded her, completely isolating her from the surrounding earth qi and feng shui, making it difficult for the silver-blooded iron feather eagle in the sky to detect her existence.
Hilat, who hid in the shape of a person, folded his arms around his chest, stood gracefully on the fallen leaves, and his toes did not move at all.
She quietly looked at Jiang Shaohan and the others, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and her emerald eyes showed a look of interest.
