Body 17 Going deep into the tiger's den
The battle between Qiu Jian and Mu He had a huge impact on this mortal mountain forest, and the people in the mountain villages and towns hundreds of miles away could already clearly feel the sound of the explosion.
There are brave people climbed to the top to watch, and when they came back, they told people that the valley where the fox fairy cave was located was unpredictable, the thunder flashed, and the wind and thunder intersected to form a strange scene that had never been seen before, and soon an experienced hunter personally went to the edge of the valley, and was not eaten by the fox fairy, and came back alive. So more and more mortals went to watch, and found that this valley was already in shambles, the mountains and rocks were cut into several pieces by some weapons, and the ancient trees in the deep forest were cut off. This kind of power that can split mountains and crush stones can only be done by the immortals of the heavens.
Since then, the mortal world has a legend about this battle: the fox fairy in the fox fairy cave did a lot of evil, killed countless people, and after being known by the gods, he sent the heavenly general to come down to earth, and the fox fairy and the heavenly general launched a fierce fight, and finally the fox fairy was killed. And the fox fairy cave has no fox fairy to do evil, attracted a lot of mortals to come to the pilgrimage to worship, hoping to have the opportunity to see the gods, and built a temple in the valley, and sculpted a rather majestic general statue, he stepped on a half-human and half-fox monster, holding a steel fork in his hand, all the hunters who entered this mountain to hunt will worship him, bless themselves safely in and out of the mountains and forests, and not be violated by evil demons. Over time, this temple was known as the Mountain Temple.
Mu He naturally didn't know at this time that he had killed a fox that had become a spirit and occupied its cave to hide and rest, but he had achieved a myth and legend in the mortal world.
Mu He chased behind Qiu Jian for about half a day, and the two of them cultivated well, and naturally their speed was extremely fast, and they had already crossed millions of miles after flying for so long. Although the two of them flew fast, because they wanted to avoid the secret guards who were hunting Mu He, they chose to walk in the deserted area of the mortal world, so it was more troublesome, until the next morning, Mu He felt that he was almost at the border of Tailuo Kingdom, so he stopped.
Qiu Jian took the lead in rushing into an immortal mountain realm, where there was an enchantment, and it seemed that the forces of the immortal cultivation realm had occupied it.
Within the barrier is a tribal town with a small number of immortal cultivators. This place is actually heavily guarded, and there are several figures hidden in the black fog hidden in the bushes at the commanding heights, all of them looming with murderous aura. Mu He was shocked when he looked at it. I muttered to myself in my heart, although this place is on the border of the Tailuo Kingdom, but there are no monks of the Tailuo Kingdom to guard it, but look at these tribal towns that have arranged sentry posts are heavily guarded. Could it be that there are hidden characters from the enemy country in this barrier?
Walking into a city gate, facing the mountains on all sides, compared with the village houses outside the city, this place is more desolate, not at all like there are signs of immortal cultivators practicing here, with Qiu Jian walked for a while, then found that the terrain began to get lower, and finally sank into the earth for more than a few zhang, a square matrix staircase extended into the darkness deep underground, Mu He followed Qiu Jian's footsteps along a staircase into there.
After walking for a while, Mu He found that the slope of the stairs under his feet gradually slowed, until finally, the stairs disappeared completely, and a dark passage corridor appeared, and doors were opened on both sides of the corridor, and there were many doors, extending to the end of the corridor, and the doors were closed, but judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power revealed from the doors, it was obvious that there were immortal cultivators in these doors in retreat. Every other section, a pair of symmetrical diagonal underground stairs appeared on both sides of the corridor, and through the light of the ever-bright lanterns, you could see that there were figures walking around where the stairs were accessed, and they were carrying the spirit stone ore. These people don't have any spiritual power on them, they are mortals at first glance, Mu He saw that there were runes flickering on these people's seal halls, and his eyes were empty.
They actually imprisoned mortals as laborers to mine the spirit stone veins!
Mu He was secretly surprised, because there are unwritten rules in the immortal cultivation world, the mortal world, as the original mother world of immortal cultivators, is the initial place of immortal cultivators' immortal cultivation avenue, and should be respected, and mortal lives must not be harmed at will, nor can they interfere with the survival and natural reincarnation of the mortal world. It is even more important not to drive mortals to participate in the affairs of the immortal cultivation realm.
Now, these immortal cultivators actually broke the rules and imprisoned mortals from working, which was similar to the methods of the Demon Dao. But at this time, Mu He couldn't take care of much, and he was wondering in his heart, who did this Qiu Jian want to take him to meet?
As they thought, the corridor seemed to come to an end, but when they got a little closer, they found that there was another staircase going downward, facing a closed double stone door, and on either side of the door stood two men who were obviously guards, dressed in black robes and wearing masks with wolf heads.
But when Mu He saw the blue mark looming on the waists of these two people, his heart sank, it was a ghost-faced head with two horns and blue faces.
According to legend, the founder of the Ghost Hill Valley was a demon cultivator, and his demonic skills shocked the world, and he had completely retreated from the human soul and turned into a demon. He has long been beyond this realm, and now tens of thousands of years have passed, and he has never appeared again, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, but the Ghost Hill Country he founded is now one of the top ten powerful countries in this realm, and it is also a powerful opponent near the Tailuo Kingdom. This is a quite ambitious country of cultivating immortals, and now the valley master of the Ghost Hill Valley, Ao, is a mysterious, perennial retreat, has eleven children, and the best talent has two sons, the middle stage of the god cultivation, the father of the perennial era manages the state affairs, the five sons of the Zhao, the early stage of the god. The six sons of the Pi, born with divine power, the head and horns are strange, when born, the natural vision, the yin spirit is everywhere, the Pi can take the initiative to devour the yin soul to grow, and now the practice is less than a hundred years, it has faintly faded the human soul, there are signs of becoming a demon, and it is rumored to be the heir who inherits the ancestor's bloodline the most. In addition, there is the ninth son, Min Min, who is only twenty years old, but he is already a cultivator in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, and he is quite favored by Yan Ao.
The two people standing at the stone gate guarding are not weak in cultivation, and Mu He recognizes this kind of guard with a wolf's head mask, this is the beast-faced dead soldier of the Ghost Hill Country. It is a special organization with similar abilities to the Dark Sect of the Tailuo Kingdom, responsible for carrying out important tasks and gathering intelligence.
The beast-faced dead man is divided into three levels, divided into lion beast demon handsome, wolf beast demon general, fox head evil guard, only four people are named lion beast demon handsome, all of them are god cultivators, and they are the only four god and demon cultivators in the ghost hill country in addition to the Ao family. As for the wolf beast demon generals, there are no more than a hundred, all of them are the leaders of the various demon seed families in the Ghost Hill Country, with extraordinary abilities and inherited a special demon bloodline. Fox-headed evil guards, mysterious and evil, have been rumored to be proficient in illusion.
And now there are actually two wolf beast demon generals here, which shows that the people in the stone gate have a noble status in the ghost hill country. Mu Hezhen didn't expect that this Qiu Jian actually had a connection with the Ghost Hill Kingdom, although the news obtained by the Dark Sect pointed out that Qiu Jian was still alive, secretly communicating with the enemy country, there were improper transactions, and concealed his cultivation. However, the specific country and what transactions were made have not been discovered.
Qiu Jian bowed respectfully to the two wolf beast demon generals.
"Please let the two demon generals speak, Qiu Jian has brought Mu He to!"
The demon general in the left-hand position opened his mouth and agreed, "Come in quickly, the Nine Young Masters have been waiting for a long time!" Hearing what he said, the stone door automatically opened, and inside was a stone room, which was used for temporary cultivation, and a large amount of immortal jade was placed in a hexagonal formation in the room, exuding a strong fairy light, and there was a red-haired man sitting in the array, with his face facing inward, and Mu He could only see his back. However, just a back, he guessed the approximate identity of this man.
In the Chiba Palace, there are portraits of important figures in the various Xiuzhen Kingdoms, among them, the ninth son of Zhu Ao, Min Min, has red hair on his head, pointed ears, and a green lin on his forehead. Since Yan Ao is the descendant of the demon, his heirs are all strange, and the outside world is also very easy to distinguish, plus the demon will call him the Nine Young Masters, Mu He concluded that this red-haired man is the ninth son of Yan Ao, Min Min.
Obviously, this formation composed of immortal jade is conducive to cultivation, and a large amount of immortal power continues to pour into Yan Min's body, and finally the fairy jade collapses, turning into powder, and Min Min reaps the rewards.
"Mu and seniors, Xiao Wang is polite!"
Muwa was taken aback, and at some point, Min Min had already turned around and stood there facing him. This Min Min only has the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage, and he actually has such a fast speed, even Mu He didn't notice his movements.
Surprised to surprised, Mu He hurriedly retracted his mind to deal with it, you know, now it is deep in the tiger's den, and if you are not careful, you will be scattered.
"It turned out that the ninth young master of the Ghost Hill Country had arrived, and Mu He didn't know that he was coming to see the honorable driver, and he didn't prepare a meeting gift, so I hope I don't be surprised. ”
The person in front of him was Yan Min, about seven feet tall, dressed in a purple satin dress, with a dark complexion, eyes like stars, with a cunning color, red hair hanging down his shoulders, covering the legendary pointed ears, listening to Mu He's speech, he smiled with his hands.
"Hahaha.... The seniors said that these words are out of sight, and if you can come, it is the best gift for me, come, take a seat. ”
With a wave of their hands, the two demon generals transformed into a tripartite stone bench in the stone chamber. Min Min sat at the top, Muhe sat at the bottom, and Qiu Jian sat at the end.
The demon generals did not go out, but stood behind Minmin, a murderous aura seemed to envelop Mu He's body, he had no doubt that he had the slightest abnormal movement, and the wolf beast demon would thunder out.
Unlike the vigilance of the demon general, there is always a smile on his black face, although he looks different, he seems to be kind when he smiles.
"I have long heard that my predecessors have received many grievances in the Chiba Palace, with the prestige of your Nine Heavens Opera Wind God, you will be a mainstay in any Xiuzhen country, and I think he Muzan is also a narrow-minded person, and he can't tolerate his fellow disciples, alas.... Tired seniors are sleeping out in the open air, it really shouldn't be...."
Mu He heard it, this little prince is really not simple, completely subverting his image of these Xiuzhen royal children, not only is the intelligence and information well-informed, but also a few words are quite elegant, this is testing Mu He's bottom line. If Mu He doesn't express his position next, it will have an adverse impact on future plans.
Mu He sighed, "I didn't expect the Nine Young Masters to be so well-informed, I, an abandoned immortal wanted by my own Xiuzhen Kingdom, really don't have the face to be in the same room with the prince..." He knew that first of all, he had to create the image of a homeless old man, and then mixed with the mood color of frustrated ambitions and unable to let go. For the enemy, a helpless person is the most vulnerable to exploitation, and a helpless and ambitious person is the most useful.
Min Min shook his head and smiled, "Why should the predecessors be arrogant, since he doesn't know the treasure of the Tailuo Kingdom, and regards the hero as a mustard, which is also a sign that the number of qi is approaching, this king will open the skylight and say bright words, if the predecessor is willing to belong to the Ghost Hill Country, I will definitely give the predecessor a handsome position, command the military power, and enter the Chiba Palace of the Tailuo Kingdom in the future, after showing my father, you can be listed as the king!"
Hearing this, Mu He's face hesitated, as if he was moved, and he seemed to be worried.
"The Nine Princes are so loving, it makes me panic, I am a traitorous immortal, I should have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and I am really not suitable to serve the Xiuzhen Kingdom anymore. ”
Yan Min was noncommittal, and waved his hand, "Mu and his predecessors are serious, who in the immortal cultivation world does not know that Mu Zan is jealous and jealous, for the position of power in the Chiba Palace, he will do whatever it takes to force his fellow disciples, and he has committed many crimes, how can such a person be worthy of the title of the palace master?
Hearing these words, Mu He's face gradually softened, as if he was deep in thought, while Min Min struck while the iron was hot. "Bring it up!" he exhaled, and one of the demon generals behind him stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, an agate-colored box appeared in his palm. Mu He was stunned, because when he habitually used his divine sense to probe, a strange suction appeared on the box, tearing his divine sense, making it impossible for him to see, this agate box knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary product, and the things preserved in it were contained in such a treasure box with an astringent atmosphere, which must also be a rare thing.
The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a faint smile, "Open it." Qiu Jian, who has been sitting at the bottom, knows in his heart at this time that in order to win over Mu and serve under his account, he will definitely give a huge temptation, and he doesn't know what treasure he will take out this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the demon general opened a crack in the treasure box, it burst out with an astonishing essence qi, forming an explosive spread of light. Without this treasure box that can be retracted, this glow can break through this room and cause a storm and cloud vision!
Mu He, who was already ready to be shocked in his heart, was still shocked, such an abundant essence of energy, rare in the world, what does such a rich essence mean to immortal cultivators, Mu He is quite clear in his heart, the essence of the essence can be directly absorbed by immortal cultivators, if the absorber is injured, he can be healed immediately, if he is at the peak, he can increase his longevity, and even break through the bottleneck, the things in this treasure box, if they are all absorbed, can add at least three or four hundred years of life!
Although he knew that this was a means for Min Min to buy people's hearts, he had already taken precautions in his heart, and when he saw such a treasure, Mu He was still excited!
"What is this?"
Min Min was very satisfied with Mu He's shocked appearance when he saw this thing, a person, as long as he has desires, is easy to control.
"This is the seed of a long-lasting fruit. ”
"The seeds of the longevity fruit tree?!Is the longevity fruit tree that has a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years, and blooms and bears fruit in a cycle of millions of years?! Legend has it that the longevity fruit has long been extinct, how can there be the seeds of the longevity fruit in the world, but it is so vigorous. Is it really ?....?"
Mu He is a little unbelievable, the seeds or fruits of the longevity fruit are an important material for refining Shou Yuan Dan, a superb Shou Yuan Dan, after taking it, it can make mortals immortal, white bones and flesh, ghosts can become immortals, and immortal cultivators can be reborn if they take it, and have the power and longevity of a demon beast. Shou Yuan Dan is difficult to practice, in addition to the rarity of the materials required, the success rate is also extremely low, but with the longevity fruit, there is a chance to get this elixir, even if you can't practice the longevity pill, directly swallowing the seeds of the longevity fruit can also improve cultivation and extend the life span of nearly a thousand years!
As early as 200,000 years ago, the predecessors of the immortal cultivation world came to the conclusion that the growth of the immortal tree requires a large amount of immortal energy, and the growth environment is extremely harsh, so it is difficult to reproduce and grow in large quantities, and it will be extinct in this world. But the Ghost Hill country has a great opportunity, five thousand years ago, Ao secretly participated in the coup d'état of the Demon Domain, the four sons of the Demon King he supported killed the prince, and successfully became the Demon Lord, after inheriting the throne, the new Demon Lord rewarded the former henchmen and supporters, and Ao was given a long-lived fruit tree that had not absorbed the demon qi for more than one million years, and raised it in the Ghost Hill Valley.
Naturally, Min Min would not say that the Demon Domain Monarch had rewarded the Immortal Fruit Tree, although the Demon Domain and the Immortal Cultivation Realm had always been at peace, and the well water did not interfere with the river water, but this did not mean that the Immortal Cultivation Realm accepted that there was a Immortal Cultivation Kingdom in its own domain that colluded with the Demon Realm. Although the Ghost Hill Country is a descendant of the Devil, the exercises practiced did not hurt the heavens and the peace, plus the Immortal Cultivation Realm did not have a bad relationship with the Demon Realm, and the Ghost Hill Country was strong, so the Immortal Cultivation Realm also accepted the existence of the Ghost Hill Country, but even so, the Ghost Hill Country did not dare to openly make friends with the Demon Realm, once it caused uneasiness in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, no matter how powerful he was in the Ghost Hill Country, he could only go to the Demon Realm to mix.
Yan Min smiled faintly, "My ghost hill country spent a great price in the Lingyuan Cave Heaven, and finally got a great opportunity, and successfully found an immortal fruit tree, a thousand years ago, the fruit tree bloomed, and produced one hundred and twenty immortal fruits, the fruit was refined into liquid, and thousands of seeds were obtained, and my father rewarded me with ten, and now, I hit it off with Mu and my predecessors at first sight, so I specially took out one and gave it to my predecessors, hoping that Mu seniors would accept it!"
The shock in Mu He's heart could not be calmed down for a long time, no wonder the Ghost Hill Country has produced many masters in recent years, and it turned out that it was a natural treasure such as the Immortal Fruit Tree. Judging from the actions of the Ghost Hill Country, their ambition is not small, if Mu Zan's plan does not succeed this time, it is likely to become a prisoner of the Ghost Hill Country, and the Chiba Palace will be in danger of extinction! Mu He secretly gritted his teeth, this time he went deep into the tiger's den, it was not so easy to get out, but it was worth it to use his life to win a chance for the Chiba Palace, maybe there would be the nine princes of the Ghost Hill Country to bury him!
Mu He's eyes flashed a trace of hideousness, but it was quickly hidden, he took a deep breath, got up and bowed to Yan Min, but his action attracted the vigilance of the two wolf beast demon generals, Mu He felt the immortal power on their bodies firmly locked on him, he sighed secretly, Mu He did think about holding this Yan Min, and when the time came, he used it as a bargaining chip, even if he killed him, it was not a loss-making business, but it was quite difficult to do so, Qiu Jianmu behind him and he thought that he was not his opponent, not to mention that these two demon generals were also quite strong。 So the assassination was decisively abandoned, and at this time he did not resist this coercion, so he bowed down. "Thanks to the value of the Ninth Prince, Mu He must do his best for the prince!" After that, Mu He secreted a drop of golden blood at the center of his eyebrows, this is the soul essence blood, which cannot be damaged, the soul blood is lost, and even if the immortal cultivator does not die, he will definitely be seriously injured.
The soul blood came out of his body, Mu He's expression suddenly withered, he probed with two fingers, and the golden soul blood slowly floated in front of Yan Min.
Mu He is so aware of current affairs, which also makes Mu Min very happy, regardless of whether this Mu He is loyal to him or not, but as long as he has soul blood in his hands, he can firmly control him to do things for himself. If you let your father know that he can easily subdue the famous Jiuxiao Opera Wind God's Mu He to serve himself, he will definitely praise him! In this way, he can suppress the limelight of the second and fifth brothers. Min Min laughed, and with a wave of his hand, he put away his soul blood.
At this moment, Mu He's life and death were just a thought of Mu Min, and Mu He obviously felt that the power of the demon general was taken away.
One of the demon generals held the treasure box containing the seeds of the immortal fruit in front of Mu He, and Mu He was no longer polite, and carefully put away the treasure box, if the seeds of the immortal fruit could be taken out and successfully cultivated, I believe that tens of thousands of years later, the country of Tailuo will also have a seedling of an immortal fruit tree!
Everything went smoothly and everyone was seated again.
Min took a sip of tea and made a gesture of invitation with his hand at Mu and Qiujian. It's hard to excuse himself, so Mu He had to take a sip of tea.
Said: "Good tea!"
