Chapter 584: Wooden Box
The fourth lady said a lot of things in her second letter, but there were not many specific things, Chu Xunyu and the three of them still needed to explore other clues, they couldn't say anything, and they didn't mention in their hearts why something happened on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, or what happened, all of which still need to be scrutinized.
So Mu Yuan asked Chu Xunyu and Wangchen while drinking porridge: "One of you two is an old Jianghu, and the other likes to read some weird and chaotic books since you were a child, have you ever heard of any monsters who like to make trouble on the night of the full moon?"
"It's all over the street. Chu Xunyu shrugged his shoulders and threw a piece of sauce radish into his mouth, "Since ancient times, the essence of the moon is yin, cold, and pure, almost most of the monsters have the habit of expecting the moon to spit out, I haven't heard of an idiom called 'rhinoceros looking at the moon', that feeling is like we are soaking in the Shoulong Waterfall in Kunlun, the taste is wonderful." β
Forget Chen nodded, "Since the establishment of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the "Zhou Li", the moon will be extraordinarily large and round on this day, exuding a pure cold power, and this 'moon power' will be maximized on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. β
"Practice, practice, why fight, kill, kill. Mu Yuan raised the letter in his hand, which meant why Boss Mu was covered in blood, obviously after a fight.
"It's impossible to practice. Chu Xunyu shook his head, "At present, they don't have any cultivation methods at all, and they have a special physique, what methods do they use to practice? Their bodies are between demons and humans, and this is also the result of their ancestors' reproduction, and they must have solved some important things that day." β
"Then where should I start to investigate this matter?" Mu Yuan asked again.
"When is the nearest Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Forget the dust calculated: "It's just five days later." β
"Yes, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chu Xun muttered to himself, as the saying goes: I miss my relatives every festival. In the past, at this time, I was at home to enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs, but now is not the time to think about this kind of thing, Chu Xunyu shook his head, put this thought away, and then said decisively, "In the past few days, we have been keeping an eye on the Mu family, especially with Boss Mu himself, they are not cultivators or purebred monsters, and if they can't find out our whereabouts, we must figure out the key." β
Mu Yuan and Wangchen nodded in agreement, hurriedly finished the porridge, and hurriedly went out to the Mu family's house. The Mu family's house is still full of people as always, most of them are business matters, they are all ordinary people, nothing worth noting, Chu Xunyu and the three of them stayed not far from the gate of the Mu family's house, forgot their noses, and said strangely: "Do you feel that the smell of realgar, cinnabar and other things on the Mu family is getting heavier and heavier?"
The two of them also felt it, nodded and said yes, it seems that something is going to happen soon, which is a typical preparation. Suddenly, an old man walked out of the gate of the Mu family, biting his ears with his subordinates, saying something, the three of them recognized that this was their housekeeper, Chu Xunyu's heart moved, and he heard them whispering something to send in through the back door. Seeing that their expressions were mysterious, Chu Xunyu turned his head and instructed the two: "I'll go around the back and take a look, you guys are watching here, if you get separated, you will meet at the inn at night." After speaking, he looked left and right, easily blended into the crowd and followed the man to the back of the Mu family's courtyard.
Going around to the back, it was a dead end, Chu Xunyu saw that there were several people who were carrying a large wooden box, and the things they were carrying looked quite heavy, and even the flat burden was bent, and several people were tired and hummed and quietly entered from the back door, and the porter also stretched out his head to see that there was no one left and right, and only closed the door after making sure, Chu Xunyu hid in the corner and saw clearly, and said to himself with a smile: "Oh? What are you carrying about." After speaking, his body was vertical, and he directly pinched the word "hidden" and went over the wall.
After entering, they found that it was the place where the Mu family's subordinates were servants, and those subordinates carried the big box into a room with great difficulty, and then moved their shoulders, locked the door, talked and laughed and left. Chu Xunyu immediately followed, and after making sure that the person was far away, he listened to the fact that there was no movement in the house, opened the door and looked at it again, only then did he see that this was the Mu family's utility room, and there were a lot of messy things, and the box he saw just now was piled up in it, not only that, but there were also boxes that were exactly the same as it, at least no less than three or four, all of which were pasted with seals, which made Chu Xunyu's curiosity hooked, and the next moment, Chu Xunyu's figure had already appeared in the door.
Chu Xunyu was about to open the box, and suddenly found that the seals on the box were very interesting, so he looked over and found that these seals were written with the words "Northeast Shunyuan Dart Bureau", "Shaanxi Feicheng Dart Bureau", "Shandong Tai'an Dart Bureau", "Hunan Chengwei Dart Bureau" and so on. It seems that the Mu family's hand is not small this time, because it seems that they are all transported from all over the world, and these dart games are not ordinary, according to Chu Xunyu's experience in the rivers and lakes, I know that these dart games have a background in the imperial court, it is not easy to invite them to go out, not to mention spending money, the relationship is hard enough, it seems that this Mu family has been up and down for several years, and it is indeed a solid family.
Without mentioning the gossip, Chu Xunyu immediately started and opened a box from the northeast casually, he was stunned for a moment, and after looking at it for a long time, he exclaimed: "What are the Mu family going to do?"
It turned out that this box was filled with weapons, and they were not ordinary weapons, they were "weapons", including steel knives, barbs, Ropes and other things, Chu Xunyu's eyesight is extraordinary, he came out of the war period, he recognized at a glance that these things were not available in the market, he picked up a steel knife with his hand, a blade, good guy, it is a thing in the army, it is all made of stainless steel, according to the convention, the handle of the knife will be marked, because the imperial court is very strict with the control of these weapons in the army, and when it is made, the steel seal is put on it, but unfortunately the mark on the handle of the knife has been scraped off, Chu Xunyu sneered, this can not hide from himself, he recognized at a glance that this is used by the infantry military camp in Shanhaiguan, this Mu family is really amazing, even the things in the army can be smoothed out, I have to praise themγ
Chu Xunyu then opened several boxes, and found that there were cinnabar, medicines, weapons, etc., all of which were of the highest quality, first-class goods, looking at this posture, was he preparing to fight?
As soon as he opened the box, a sour smell almost fainted people, Chu Xunyu was startled, and thought that something was poisoned, but after taking a closer look, he found that it was all sealed jars, picked up one and shook it, it seemed to be filled with water, Chu Xunyu opened the sealed mud, dipped his fingers in it and tasted it, and a thought flashed in his mind, this is ...... This time, it was Chu Xunyu's turn to be dumbfounded, looking at a few boxes in the past, the contents were all things that were incompatible, and he couldn't help but say to himself with a strange face: "What are the Mu family going to do?"
