Chapter 47: The Mist
In the early morning of the next day, after finally cultivating his spiritual power again, Mu Sheng moved a wooden stake that was thicker than before, and experimented with palm thunder again in order to verify the conjecture in his heart.
After a loud bang, as expected, the stake was smashed with one blow, this time the power was even greater than the last time, and of course it drained Mu Sheng's spiritual power.
Mu Sheng tried to reduce the power of the lightning channeling technique, don't drain his spiritual power at one time, if he can't control it, then this trick can only be used as a killer weapon in actual combat in the future, as long as the enemy can bear it without dying, he has to stop eating immediately.
In the next few days, Mu Sheng looked at the wood chips in the courtyard that were shattered by thunder and lightning, and he was extremely helpless, anyway, no matter how he experimented, this technique was to directly drain his poor spiritual power, and there was no way to control it, the only thing he could control was when to activate the spell.
Mu Sheng accidentally discovered that he didn't need to recite the thunder trick silently to stimulate this technique, as long as his mind moved, it was so powerful? Can it be instantaneous? The only downside is that you feel as if you've been completely drained after using this technique......
In fact, Mu Sheng probably knows in his heart why the use of gold-based spells alone is extremely powerful, the master once said that although he is a Xuanling Dao body, he was born with the Five Elements Jin Wang, and the use of the Five Elements Gold Spells is much stronger than others, but according to Mu Sheng's observations and experiments in the past few days, even if it is strong, there must be a limit, but at the moment, the power he uses seems to be a little outrageously strong......
Forget it, if you don't understand, you don't want to, Mu Sheng always felt that there should be other reasons, and he didn't find out that he had such a low cultivation level when he searched through the Taoist scriptures, and he was able to use a spell comparable to the power of a heavenly master, although it was a one-off.
It seems that when the time comes, you have to go to the mountain gate to ask the master and his old man, and it is not necessary that this technique may have sequelae, so it is still used with caution before you understand it.
At this moment, Mama Rong came to the inner courtyard and said, "Someone from Guo Mansion has come to visit the master." ”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he personally went to the door to greet the visitor, only to see a young chivalrous man who looked like Guo Huan standing outside the door, and after seeing Mu Sheng, the young man hugged his fists and saluted, "Guo Zhi, the second son of Guo Huan, has something important to come to visit Uncle Liu." ”
Mu Sheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard him call himself uncle, his actual age was actually younger than Guo Zhi, but because he was the same as his father and his brothers, he was actually a little shorter than himself in terms of generation.
In the ancient patriarchal society, seniority was still very important, and modern people would not take seniority seriously at all, and the social relations of production changed, and many old rituals would become outdated.
Just like the small town in his hometown in his previous life, when he went out and walked a few steps, he was greeted by seven aunts and eight aunts, and he had to nod his head when he walked a few steps, and even some little children had to press him, and he had to call him uncle during the New Year's holidays, no way, the acquaintance society is like this, and some of the old rules of the patriarchal society will still be retained.
At present, in the world where Mu Sheng lives, etiquette is still very important, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly welcomed Guo Zhi into the house.
"Oh! It turned out to be Guo Shaoxia, disrespectful and disrespectful, please hurry up. ”
Mu Sheng welcomed him into the inner courtyard, and the two came to the inner room, and when Xi Xue saw that a guest was coming, she turned around and prepared refreshments.
Mu Sheng introduced, "This is my new concubine, Yan's family. ”
Guo Zhiyi seemed to be a little stunned when he saw Xi Xue, but he came back to his senses in an instant, and saluted with a fist, "Meet my uncle!" ”
Xi Xue bowed her head and leaned over, which was considered a return gift, turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare refreshments and retreated, in fact, Xi Xue is not strictly a concubine, even if she is a concubine in this era, she is actually the female slave given to Mu Sheng by Guo Zhi's father, Mu Sheng said this and wanted to officially give her a name in the future.
The fate of low-level women in ancient times was very tragic, and female slaves like Xi Xue, who were sent back and forth as gifts, were even more humble to the dust.
Once such a woman is old and childless, and she does not even have a name, she is basically driven out of her home and wanders on the streets, which is a microcosm of the extreme patriarchal society in ancient times.
Mu Sheng beckoned Guo Zhi to take a seat and asked, "What is the so-called matter when Guo Shao came here today?" ”
Guo Zhi took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Liu, you are polite, my father has already gone to Yue County yesterday, and something big happened over there, and the envoy sent by the prince was secretly detained by the county guard Fu Bao." ”
Mu Sheng frowned slightly, and said in shock, "What? Has Fu Bao lived enough? The prince's people also dare to detain it? What's more, he himself used to be a subordinate official of the East Palace, and it seems that this Fu Leopard's collusion with the revival will not be groundless. ”
Guo Zhi touched his chin and said, "Uncle doesn't know, this Fu Bao once had a relationship with his father, and his father was also recommended by Fu Bao to join the prince's command, which can be said to be an old friendship for more than ten years, this time Fu Bao was so abnormal and impermanent, which greatly surprised my father's expectations, so as soon as my father heard that Fu Bao had an accident, he rushed to Yuejun overnight to persuade his old friend to turn back." ”
"My father told me to visit my uncle before leaving, I hope you can make a move as soon as possible and go to Yue County with my eldest brother Guo Sheng with three hundred dead soldiers, my father only took Yao Ji and a dozen entourages with him before going to Yue County, we were afraid that something would happen, so we followed closely with the team, and my eldest brother Guo Sheng had already gone to Nanqiu Mountain to gather people, and we would set off in the afternoon."
Mu Sheng's face sank when he heard this, and he said slowly, "The eldest brother will summon Liu Mou, not to mention for the prince's business, but I'm afraid that our manpower will be in vain, the county guard has the right to mobilize the local garrison, especially the county is the border of our dynasty, and the county guard must have at least tens of thousands of horses under his command, if we really want to force Fu Bao to mutiny, I'm afraid I will not return." ”
Guo Zhi stood up anxiously and paced back and forth, and only after a while did he say, "Uncle Liu, how is this good?" Uncle is a monk, if we are willing to make a move, we should still have a big chance of winning. ”
Mu Sheng smiled bitterly at Guo Zhi and said, "I'm a monk, yes, but not an immortal, in the face of thousands of troops, even if the Heavenly Master-level cultivation exhausts the true yuan, there is death and no life, and I can only barely protect myself, what I am really worried about is the lives of your two brothers, if there is an accident, how to explain to the eldest brother?" ”
Guo Zhi's face was resolute, and he bowed to Mu Sheng and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, since my eldest brother and I are determined to go to Yuejun to help my father, we have already put life and death aside, not to mention that my father also has to risk death, how can I be willing to be left behind?" If there is an accident, please take care of yourself, uncle. ”
Mu Sheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Guo Zhidao, "Big brother, you two brothers are such good sons, there are no regrets in this life, since your brothers are not afraid of death, what reason do I have to refuse?" ”
Guo Zhi was overjoyed and said, "Uncle is willing to make a move?" ”
Mu Sheng bowed his head slightly and said, "Without further ado, you and I will quickly go to meet your eldest brother Guo Sheng." ”
Mu Sheng got up, turned around, picked up the sword, and went out with Guo Zhi and the others.
The two walked to the door, and a soft voice came from behind them, "Master, please stay~"
Mu Sheng looked back, and Xi Xue quickly chased after him and handed him a Rui Beast amulet.
Xi Xue said: "Master, you must come back safely." ”
Mu Sheng tightly held the talisman that Xi Xue handed him, which represented her heart.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and held her jade hand for a long time without saying a word, and Xi Xue also agreed to look at him with gentle eyes.
After a while, Mu Sheng just said lightly, "Wait for me to come back." ”
After that, Mu Sheng walked out of the gate without looking back......
Mu Sheng and Guo Zhi went out of the city and rode their horses for nearly an hour before they came to Nanqiu Mountain in the suburbs.
Guo Zhi pointed to the forest in front of him, Mu Sheng nodded, and the two rode into the forest, Guo Zhi led the way in front, and walked for less than half a stick of incense, and a man in black suddenly jumped out next to the forest, half kneeling in front of Guo Zhima.
The man in black said, "Second young master, the villain will go to the front to lead the way." ”
Then the two followed the black-clothed scout to find Guo Sheng's station, only to see a group of people dressed as merchants gathered together in the open space in the distance, as if they were listening to the lecture of the first person, and when they saw the two coming, the leader quickly stepped forward, it should be Guo Huan's eldest son Guo Sheng.
I saw Guo Shengqi, with a Chinese face, and a tenacity between his eyebrows, in fact, he had a relationship at Guo Huan's banquet before, and Mu Sheng didn't have much of a deep chat.
Seeing the two dismount, Guo Sheng stepped forward and saluted Mu Shengshen and said, "Uncle Liu can come to help, and our two brothers have at least a few more chances of winning." ”
Mu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Guo Sheng, there is no need to say more polite words, what is the relationship between me Liu and your father, you also know, for the sake of Guo Daxia and His Royal Highness the Prince, if you have any arrangements, just order them directly." ”
"Okay, uncle, come with me."
I saw Guo Sheng pointing to the map and said, "Uncle Liu is like this, in order not to attract the attention of those who care, the three of us disguised themselves as merchants and led a hundred people to Yuejun separately, and the customs clearance documents and spies along the way have already been prepared, and then we will take a detour from here, go to the ferry port of Juchuan County and take a boat south, to Jialing City of Yuejun, cross Shucheng, go down along the canal, and finally meet at the outskirts of Qucheng, the seat of Yuejun......"
After listening to Guo Sheng's deployment, he felt that there was no problem, and Mu Sheng said, "Hmm! Without further ado, let's go now! ”
Mu Sheng looked at the map, and secretly said in his heart, across several counties, this distance is indeed very far, Mu Sheng also changed into a businessman to go to Yue County, this journey is far away, I am afraid it will take three or four months to go back and forth.
When Mu Sheng read the history books of this world in the past, he had a general understanding of the situation of Yue County, Yue County was the hometown of Yue County in the past, after the destruction of Yue Kingdom, Yue County expanded a lot of territory because of His Majesty's Southern Expedition, in the past Yue Kingdom era, Yue County actually has a small jurisdiction, and now Yue County is much larger than in the past, and it is one of the most important frontier counties of the imperial court.
At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty's unification of the world, the world was divided into forty-one counties, and later the imperial court felt that the power of the county guard was too large, and the size of the county was reduced, and now it was divided into sixty-one counties, mainly divided into inland counties, and the border counties were not split because of the military defense needs, in order to prevent the barbarians from attacking, and to facilitate the military deployment.
The next morning, the group pretended to be merchants on the road, the two Guo brothers set off first, and Mu Sheng's team set off last, all the way non-stop, and there were no twists and turns in the middle.
Mu Sheng led more than 100 dead soldiers disguised as merchants, and came all the way to the wharf of the big river in Juchuan County.
Mu Sheng looked at the inland river in front of him, he was still a little shocked, the wide river surface could hardly see the other side, the sailboats coming and going from south to north on the river were endless, and the two sides of the wharf were also extremely prosperous, a bit of the meaning of the Yangtze River in later generations.
Then the group was ready to rest for the night, and in the evening they chartered two hotels on the dock and stayed, and the Guo brothers happened to gather in Mu Sheng's house for a meeting.
Guo Zhi sat across the small table and said, "Uncle Liu, we have chartered three merchant ships, and we can set off after the goods are loaded tomorrow, and the time is still that the eldest brother will leave first in the morning, and we ......will go separately in the afternoon."
Mu Sheng said, "Since it has been arranged, let's take a good rest first, and we will continue to rush tomorrow." ”
Sending Guo Sheng away, Mu Sheng lay on the bed and turned out the weird mask when he performed the mission for the first time, it seems that it is still a secret mission, Mu Sheng sighed in his heart, it turns out that this is the rivers and lakes?
