Chapter 8: Under the Dark
Where there is light, there is darkness, and they hide where the light does not shine.
"City Lord, the mountain bandits are menacing, and we will ask for the call of the city guarding god crossbow."
Several guards asked Mu Han for his life.
Mu Han didn't know what it was, and then asked Lu Yuan, "What is the City Guarding God Crossbow?" ”
Lu Yuan explained on the side: "Returning to the city lord, the city guard crossbow is a major weapon used in the defense of Yuhui City, and it is usually stored in the Yuhui treasure house, and the key to the treasure house is the city lord seal in your hand. ”
Mu Han took out the seal and looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Is there anything special about this seal, no matter who holds this seal, can you open the treasure house?" ”
"Back to the city lord, this seal is only eligible to be used by the city lord, once the city lord dies, the seal will dissipate, and it will not be obtained again until the next person who is crowned the city lord, as for how to obtain the subordinates, I don't know."
Hearing the treasure house of Yuhui City, Mu Han's heart was full of curiosity and expectation, there should be a lot of good things in a dignified city.
Mu Han then asked, "Where is the treasure house, take me there." ”
"Yes, city lord, please come with me."
So Mu Han followed everyone to a huge stone monument in the city.
"City Lord, the treasure house is in the stone tablet, and you can find and open the treasure house through the stone tablet."
"Isn't there anyone guarding here?" Mu Han asked suspiciously.
"Back to the city lord, there is no need to guard here, because only those who carry the city lord's seal and are recognized by the seal can enter it, there is an extremely powerful seal here, and others can't get close at all."
Hearing this explanation, Mu Han was also relieved.
"Shall I just walk over there?"
"Yes, Lord Castle."
Mu Han easily walked in front of the stele, although it was a stele, its height was no less than a hill, and the closer he got to it, the more he would realize his insignificance.
Mu Han raised his hand and was about to touch the stone tablet, when a wave emanated from the seal.
The stele began to ripple, and after the fingers touched it lightly, it formed a circle of ripples, as if touching the surface of the water.
Although there were still many doubts in his heart, Mu Han had already stepped into it, and then his eyes darkened.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself outside a palace.
Looking up, the space is very wide, and mysterious beams of light crisscross and illuminate the entire sky.
There are four big characters floating above the door of the palace, Yuhui Treasure Mansion.
The walls exude mysterious lines, and the palace gates carved in white jade are decorated with purple gold.
"Is this still a human being?" The seven-colored light in the sky and the buildings in front of him complemented each other, making Mu Han can't help but have an illusion.
After a while, Mu Han came back to his senses from his feelings.
"It's good to be rich." With that, Mu Han stepped forward and prepared to push open the palace door.
No matter how hard Mu Han tried, the palace gate did not move, and only then did he notice that there was a depression on the door, which was about the same size as the city lord's seal.
"No wonder only the city lord can enter, it turns out that the city lord's seal is also the key."
Mu Han took out the seal and put it in the depression, and sure enough, it was embedded in it.
Immediately, the subtle pattern changed, and the outer door opened automatically.
As soon as Mu Han walked in, the seal on the door disappeared, and then appeared in front of Mu Han's body.
Mu Han put away the seal, and a corridor appeared in front of Mu Han's eyes, and then the information of the Jade Hui Treasure Mansion poured into Mu Han's mind.
The corridors correspond to different places, such as the Library Pavilion, the Weapon Pavilion, the Treasure Pavilion, etc., and the city guard crossbow that Mu Han needs is in the Armory Pavilion.
In the Armory Pavilion, there were not many swords and armor like Mu Han imagined, adding up to six or seven things.
A long knife, two long swords, a bow, and two pieces of armor, a direct crossbow, Mu Han also found it in the corner after looking for a long time.
A ballista the size of a stool, make no mistake, what kind of crossbow is this?
A big question popped up in Mu Han's heart.
Then Mu Han went to several other places, but they were all things he didn't know, and finally came to the library pavilion.
There are indeed a lot of Gongfa battle records, but the one that attracts Mu Han the most is a book called Baibao Lingjian.
When you open it, it's like an encyclopedia, with a lot of precious and strange things.
Mu Han saw that the introduction on one of the pages said Xuanji Crossbow, in addition to the description and accompanying pictures, Mu Han found that the introduction of this Xuanji Crossbow seemed to be a bit similar to this city guarding crossbow.
Created by a group of unknown craftsmen, the Mystery Crossbow is a rare treasure that was originally small in size, but when it is infused with aura, it becomes very large and powerful.
And there are some magical spiritual wood and dark iron introductions in the back.
Fanling wood, a rare tree that can warm the aura, can be made into a sword handle to warm the spirit sword, and can also be made into some storage utensils to preserve the aura of some special items.
Molchstone, a strange ore used to craft Divine Weapons, greatly increases the toughness and sharpness of weapons.
There are other introductions, Mu Han thought of the sundries that had been piled up in the Purple Spirit Bear before, and they turned out to be treasures.
There are many kinds of records on the Hundred Treasures Lingjian, and those that are not recorded are probably extraordinary, so I must get them back when I have time.
After making up his mind, Mu Han picked up some exercises and left the Jade Hui Treasure Mansion.
The only pity is that although it is full of treasures, there is no money.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, all the soldiers saw the crossbow of the city guard, and they all had a lot of confidence in their hearts.
It's a pity that this is only for those ordinary warriors, if against a powerful warrior, the city guard crossbow will become a useless waste.
Strength, the most important thing is really strength.
And the mountain bandits are only a few dozen miles away from Yuhui City, and the guards in the city dare not be careless, for fear that they will accidentally be killed by the mountain bandits and lose their lives.
"Set up camp and wait for your time." The leader of the mountain bandits suddenly ordered.
"Big brother, we'll be in Yuhui City soon, why don't we just kill it now?"
"Yes, big brother, we are all in good shape, don't rest when it gets dark soon, the night is dark and the wind is high and the night kills people, hehe."
"Yuhui City already knows our intentions, now should be the most meticulous moment for defense, a lot of preparations should be made, and it is not advisable to rush now." The leader of the mountain bandits patiently explained.
"Big brother, when are we going to do it?" Someone asked impatiently.
"Wait, listen to my orders, rest in place, and wait for an opportunity"
Although the mountain bandits did not understand very well, they still obeyed the orders of the leader and rested on the spot.
"What do you think the boss, this fat is in his mouth, and he almost opens his mouth to eat it, why don't you hurry to do it?"
"What do you know, the boss must have the boss's ideas, let's just follow the boss's orders."
"Hehe, this time Lao Tzu must grab a few more girls to go back, so that you can envy it."
", if you want me to say it's better to grab more money, my mind is full of women."
And the guards in the city heard that the mountain bandits were dozens of miles away, and they couldn't help but start to feel a little forbidden in their hearts, there had been no war for a long time, and if they weren't still wearing this armor, they would have almost forgotten how to use the knife.
On the city wall, some people are worried, and some people are not impressed.
"Come, drink, it's not Lao Tzu who blows, Lao Tzu chased after more than a dozen mountain bandits ten years ago, and beat them with farts and urine, what kind of mountain bandits, local chickens and dogs, today they will be called to have no return."
As night fell, countless torches were erected at the head of the city to light up the surroundings.
Mu Han didn't have any combat experience, only experience in collecting medicine in the mountains and catching wild beasts.
However, he knew that the bandit leader must be waiting for them to relax and take the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.
