Volume 2 Riding the Wind Chapter 178 Very greedy for money
Du Xing coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and said with trembling teeth: "Rao, spare life, I, I say, I say!" ”
"Who is it?" Zhang Mu fell to the two of them and asked.
Du Xing coughed a few more times and said, "Yes, it's Bi Ape, the commander of the guard order of Xiting Mansion!" ”
"Why did he let you follow me? What is its purpose? Zhang Mu asked.
Du Xing shook his head weakly and said, "No, I don't know, cough cough, just, just let us follow you, see, see what you have to do after you get out of the customs." ”
"That's all?" Zhang Mu seemed to attract the rolling aura around him, and said in a slightly cold tone.
Under this coercion, Du Xing brushed up in a cold sweat, and said in a tone full of begging: "Really, it's really only that, Commander Bi Ape really just let us follow you secretly." ”
Zhang Mu could see from the change in Du Xing's demeanor that this person was not lying, looked at Lai Ren who was unconscious, raised his hand and gathered a spiritual rope to tie the two of them, and led them out of this space.
Come to the outer room.
Du Xing thought that Zhang Mu was going to release them, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Daoyou for letting us go!" ”
"Letting you go?"
Zhang Mu snorted lightly, and a few points of spiritual light popped out in his hand, shooting towards several life points of the two, sealing the cultivation of the two.
Then he pointed like a sword, carved a tiny maze on the ground, crossed into a little aura, hid the two of them in it, and said.
"I don't bother to kill the two of you, you two are leaving to fend for yourselves!"
When Du Xing heard this, he trembled with fright, and begged for mercy again and again: "Daoist friends spare their lives, Daoist friends spare their lives!" ”
"Our senior brothers and sisters are just taking money, and they don't deliberately target your fellow Daoists, and I hope that Master Daoyou has a lot of them, spare our lives!"
Although the two of them have been sealed and cultivated, they can last for three or five months, to say the least, relying on their own foundation.
The reason why Du Xing was so scared was because there was no shop in front of the village here, and if a passing monk found them, the two of them would be 100% reduced to lambs to the slaughter.
It would be good if it was found that their monks were just trying to make money, so that they could still save their lives.
If the other party is ruthless, then the two of them will definitely hate here.
Even if no monk finds them, there are many dangers in the canyon, and if you are lucky, you can hold out for a few days, and if you are unlucky, you may turn into a pile of bones the next day.
Du Xing saw that Zhang Mu wanted to turn around and leave, desperately twisting his body bound by the spirit rope, knelt on the ground, and said eagerly: "Don't go, fellow Daoist!" ”
"You can't leave us here, fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist!"
shouted a few times, and seeing that Zhang Mu ignored his pleas for mercy, he was about to sacrifice the Flying Spirit Weapon into the air, and said anxiously.
"Daoyou, Daoyou, what do you want to do to let us go?"
Zhang Mu turned to look at Du Xing, snorted, rubbed his fingers, and said.
"I don't have any other interests, but I like this!"
Du Xing saw the movement in Zhang Mu's hand, and immediately said knowingly.
"We have, we have!"
"As long as Daoyou lets us go, all the spirit stones and spiritual weapons on our senior brother can be given to you!"
Zhang Mu pointed out a few tiny sword-shaped spirit blades, snapped a few times, cut off the spirit rope on Du Xing's body, and said.
"Then take it out first and see if it can satisfy me!"
Du Xing struggled to squeeze out a trace of spiritual energy from his body, opened the Qiankun bag, took out more than a thousand spirit stones, as well as two low-grade spiritual weapons, and said.
"The valuable items on the two of us are here, and I hope that after the Taoist friends take them, they can keep their promises and let us go!"
Zhang Mu's fingertips hooked up a spiritual light, rolled up more than a thousand spirit stones and put them into the storage jade ring, ignoring the two inferior spirit weapons.
Untied the blockade on Du Xing's life point, so that he could restore his cultivation, and said with disdain.
"I'm a person, I only like these crystal clear spirit stones, as for these two broken spirit weapons, you better keep them for yourself."
"Now, take your junior brother and get out of here quickly!"
"Thank you Daoyou for sparing your life, thank you Daoyou for sparing your life, let's get out now, we'll get out now!"
Du Xing responded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and while putting away the spiritual weapon on the ground, he picked up the unconscious Lai Ren and quickly flew away from here.
After a while, when the two disappeared into the sky, Sanniang walked out of the demon refining pot.
Since Zhang Mu gave Sanniang some permissions, Sanniang could freely enter and exit the demon refining pot at this time.
Sanniang came to Zhang Mu's side and asked softly, "Master, why did you let them go so easily?" ”
Zhang Mu took his hand, looked at the direction where the two left, and said slowly: "Let them go back and report the news, and confuse the people behind them." ”
Sanniang's charming eyes moved, and she said, "Does the master want them to think that the master is a person who is very greedy for money?" ”
"It's not that they think it, but I really like these things!" Zhang Mu said lightly.
"Hmph, I don't believe it, the master must have some kind of calculation!" Sanniang said in a coquettish voice.
Zhang Mu was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Sanniang up and down.
Seeing this, Sanniang glanced at herself suspiciously, and said, "Master, you look at me like this, is there something on my body?" ”
Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Then why is the master..."Sanniang was halfway through her words, immediately covered her mouth, and after a long while, she said: "What's wrong with me, how can I be disrespectful to the master?" ”
"Hahaha." Zhang Mu smiled and said, "I'm afraid there are many reasons!" ”
Sanniang is based on the transformation of the Heavenly Spirit Seven Trick Beads, and has been practicing the "Nine Techniques of Spiritual Wind" that is very suitable recently, and with the growth of cultivation, there have gradually been some independent changes, resulting in her current behavior, looking more and more like a real monk.
Seeing Sanniang's change, Zhang Mu was overjoyed, because the more Sanniang became clever and smart, the more it helped him.
After all, a dull puppet that can only enforce forbiddenness is no better than a real monk who can adapt to changes anyway.
And, in a way, Sanniang is better than a real monk, and in terms of loyalty alone, there are hardly any monks who can compare!
While Zhang Mu was meditating, Sanniang asked softly, "Does the master not like me like this?" ”
"Nope!" Zhang Mu smiled, put away the demon refining pot that sank to the ground, and said, "I like Sanniang's current appearance very much!" ”
"Let's go back to the pot and continue our practice, it's time for us to go."
"Well, if the owner likes it!" Sanniang smiled happily and entered the demon refining pot.
I flew away for most of the day, and it was evening.
Zhang Mu chose a relatively wide position in the canyon and landed, intending to spend the night here.
The canyon may seem safe, but there are countless dangers that befall you every night.
For example, in the boundary mountains on both sides, countless ink owls will fly out of them at night and hover in the middle of the canyon.
It has a very violent temperament, and whenever it comes across a living thing, it will swarm it, attack it wildly, and then eat it all after killing.
Moreover, the claws of the ink owl are abnormal, if there is no strong means of defense, even if the foundation building monk is scratched, the flesh will be broken, and its sharpness is comparable to that of a medium-grade spiritual weapon used for killing.
It is one of the most dangerous beings in the canyon, and it is very difficult to deal with after encountering it.
However, the Ink Owl's eyesight is extremely poor, and as long as it is stationary, it is almost impossible for them to detect it.
Therefore, the monks who traveled between the two places through the canyon would wisely choose to stay at the bottom of the valley for the night at this time, so as to deal with the possible appearance of the ink owl and try to avoid these dangers.
Zhang Mu was not eager to find the two floating treasure ships, so there was no need to risk his life in the starry night.
After falling to the ground.
Zhang Mu moved several boulders that were one person high around him, stacking them three or four zhang high, and then sat on them and propped up a spiritual shield around his body.
The purpose of this is to deal with another extreme danger in the canyon that occurs at night - the gravel scorpion.
The scorpion is the size of an adult's arm, with a long, barbed tail that is not only ferocious, but also as sharp as the claws of the Ink Owl.
Even, the sharpness of the stingy tail of the individual aliens in the stone scorpion is even closer to the high-grade spiritual weapon used for killing, and ordinary monks can immediately be in a different place when they are hit.
However, such dangerous beings have a very big weakness, that is, they can only climb some cliffs with slopes, and cannot climb straight up and down.
Therefore, if you want to prevent this scorpion from attacking, you have to build a high stone pillar like Zhang Mu to avoid them in this way.
...
Meanwhile.
In a corner of Xiting City, after hesitating for a long time, Du Xing and Lai Ren reluctantly lit a communication talisman, planning to report the situation in the canyon to you in detail.
After waiting for a while, Bi Ape, who received the summons, arrived as promised, saw the two people who were injured, and said suspiciously.
"Why did you two come back early? What about this injury? ”
The two glanced at each other with a wry smile, and Du Xing said.
"Back to Commander Bi, when the two of us followed the young monk you said, they were accidentally discovered by him."
"I didn't expect that he would be so powerful in the same foundation building realm, and he even beat us seriously with one enemy and two enemies!"
When Du Xing said this, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he lied.
"If it hadn't been for the two of us fighting back, we might have died in the canyon by now."
"As a last resort, our brothers and sisters didn't dare to continue to follow, so they could only choose to turn back in advance."
Bi Ape's eyes froze, and he frowned and said, "That young monk is so powerful?" ”
Lai Ren on the side answered: "Your Excellency, it is indeed so powerful, we have not deceived at all!" ”
Bi Ape looked at the two of them for a while, snorted coldly, and said, "Forgive the two of you and don't dare to lie to me!" ”
"What did you find during the time you tracked?"
"Nope." Du Xing shook his head, looked up and saw a trace of displeasure on Bi Ape's face, and hurriedly said: "Commander Bi, I found that this person seems to be very greedy for money!" ”
"Huh?" Bi Yu sighed lightly and said, "Where to start?" ”
Du Xing's thoughts flashed in his heart, and he lied and said: "When the two of us were fighting against him, they accidentally scattered some spirit stones, and when he saw them, he immediately stopped and turned to those spirit stones. ”
"The two of us got this opportunity, and we escaped from him!"
"Therefore I judge that this man must be very greedy for money!"
"Really?" Bi Yu said suspiciously.
"Really!"
"What my brother said is absolutely true!"
Du Xing and Lai Ren said in unison.
Bi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Don't go anywhere here during this time, listen to me at any time." ”
"Yes, Commander Bi!" The two replied in unison.
Then, Bi Yu got up and left the place.
...
As the afterglow sets at the end of the canyon, the night falls completely.
At this time, several foundation building monks flew from the direction of the Yunlu wilderness, and after seeing Zhang Mu, they landed one after another.
Zhang Mu, who was meditating on the stone pillar, opened his eyes and looked at a few people, who were disheveled, depressed, and very depressed, obviously looking like their aura was about to run out.
