Chapter XXIV
Mu Shenlong looked up at the black eagle standing on the ancient tree, took out a piece of jerky from the leather pouch on his waist, and with a whistle in his mouth, the black eagle flew down and stood in front of him. The wood dragon tossed the jerky slightly, and the black eagle raised his head and swallowed it in a few bites.
Bai Yiming said with a smile: "Venerable's Sacred Eagle, although he is old, his majesty is still the same as it was back then. ”
Mu Shenlong found a stone and sat down, looked at the eagle in front of him, a smile appeared on his huge face, and said, "The eagle has a long life." This eagle has been with me for thirty years, and has saved my life, so that I will not let anyone hurt it. On that day, someone tried to shoot it in Baili Town, and someone wanted to shoot it. ”
Bai Yiming said: "That person is asking for hardship, and it is only natural for the Venerable to punish him, so that those people know that the Holy Blood Gate is not easy to mess with!"
Mu Shenlong shook his head and said, "They only know that I am referring to the Divine Dragon Monk of the Heavenly Cliff, but they don't know that I am the Protector Venerable of the Holy Blood Gate. Alas, for many years, there has been no one to lead the religion, and its reputation has gradually faded, and people in the rivers and lakes are afraid that there are not many people who remember. ”
Bai Yiming said: "Yes...... Please forgive your subordinates for talking too much, the position of the head of the sect has been vacant, although there are canons, those who have not found the holy relics of the sect are not allowed to serve as the head of the sect. But...... But decades have passed, and the search for holy relics is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If there is no leader in this religion, it is difficult to command the elders of the various tribes, and now it is divided, which is why it is divided. I don't think it's as good as ...... It's better to ....." Speaking of this, he snorted for a while, and stopped talking.
Mu Shenlong glanced at him and said, "Needless to say, I know what you think in your heart, you want me to take the position of sect leader." That's impossible. First, if I rebel against the rules, others may not obey me, and secondly, I have not been able to find a way to perfect my martial arts method...... Not eligible, not eligible. ”
Bai Yiming said: "His Holiness has great powers, no one in this sect can surpass him, and in terms of drinking holy red, His Holiness is also the least, if you talk about qualifications, except for Venerable, there is no second person." ”
Mu Shenlong smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? There is also a Heart-Loving Saint King. ”
Bai Yiming said, "Holy King, Holy King...... It's been more than ten years since he disappeared, and it's hard to say whether he is still alive or not. ”
Mu Shenlong shook his head again and said, "The Holy King's skills are superb, and he will not be easily harmed by others, although he is missing now, he does not dare to determine how his life and death will be." More than ten years ago, this person only took the Divine Fire Pill and did not drink the Holy Red, and he was able to barely suppress the cold qi in his body, and in terms of qualifications, he was slightly better than the old man. ”
Bai Yiming sighed and said no more.
*
The current strength of the Holy Blood Gate is actually not as good as before. The position of the sect leader is vacant, the rest of the branches are weak, and the real sect strength is only the remnant of the great elder of the year.
The two Venerables, Elder Bai, and the others mentioned by Shi Cai, Elder Xiao, Elder Feng, and others were all from the line of Great Elders back then.
The rest of the branches, although there are also a few elders as the leader, but the martial arts they have practiced have not reached the high and profound realm, and the disciples under them are withered. Those elders usually go their separate ways and rarely meet in the sect.
If it weren't for the regular acquisition of the sect's secret medicine Divine Fire Pill to assist in practice, those elders were afraid that they would even have the intention of breaking through the sect and leaving the Holy Blood Gate.
The Divine Fire Pill is specially refined by the Sect of the Sect of Medicine Refinery, and the medicinal materials in the prescription are very ordinary, but there is a taste of ambergris essence that is unique to the Sect, even if outsiders know the unilateral prescription, without the essence of ambergris, they cannot prepare the Divine Fire Pill.
Looking at the entire Holy Blood Gate, those who can truly cultivate the Bone Melting and Marrow Condensation Method to the Supreme Realm are only the two Mu Shenlong and the Heart Saint King.
A long time ago, the two of them drank very little blood, and just taking the Divine Fire Pill could suppress the cold qi in their bodies, and if they wanted to drink blood, they would drink it once every few months, two or three taels each time.
The blood wine that Mu Shenlong drank in Juhao's family was actually not human blood, but the blood of a stag, which was only taken for its nourishing effect.
Many elders and disciples of the Holy Blood Sect admired the skills of the two Venerables. In the hearts of the disciples of the sect, the two of them are god-like figures.
But it's one thing to be respectful, it's another thing to be the sect leader, the elders of the side branches are already disheartened by the situation of their disciples, no matter how strong the two venerables are, they can only benefit themselves, and there is no good way to save the crisis of the sect disciples.
Not everyone has the same talent as the two Venerables.
Since the great changes in the sect eighty years ago, the Holy Blood Sect has established a rule, whoever is the leader of the sect, his first important task is to improve the sect's martial arts and relieve the Holy Blood Gate of the difficulties of a hundred years;

Mu Shenlong looked at the firelight at the foot of the mountain in the distance, with a mocking smile on his face, and said: "They blocked the valley mouth half a month in advance, that is because they are determined to get Danyang grass, and they don't want to leave a single star for us." Hehe, it's not so easy to get the elixir safely.
"Elder Bai, you give an order, and order Elder Xiao and Elder Feng to bring a hundred people each night, take turns to raid the people stationed in the valley, harass them with rocket poison smoke, and after attacking for two consecutive nights, rest for one night, and attack again for two consecutive nights, and so on. If you meet a master, you don't have to confront it head-on, you can retreat, and you want to protect yourself. ”
He asked Bai Yiming again: "How many sets of Xuansi soft armor from this sect have you brought this time?"
Bai Yiming said: "There are a total of two hundred and thirty sets of Xuansi soft armor in this sect, and this time because of the importance of the matter, two hundred and twenty sets were brought, and those ten sets of high-grade fine soft armor were left in the headquarters and did not dare to bring them out." ”
Mu Shenlong nodded and said, "Okay! These two hundred sets of soft armor are all put on by the raiding disciples.
"The three hundred Danyang grasses that are about to mature, we must know their location in detail, and take the medicine at that time, the sooner the better!
Bai Yiming said: "Steward You and Steward Li have prepared four hundred fast horses in the past month, and now they are all settled. ”
Mu Shenlong said: "Okay...... Well, we will think of harassing them with rocket poison smoke, and among these people, there must also be experts with poison, if on the occasion of the great war, we must guard against the poisonous smoke and poisonous fog used on my disciples. This time, do we have all the antidotes?"
Bai Yiming said: "It's all ready." Each disciple was given three Shenqing pills, and the disciples were no longer afraid of ordinary poisons. ”
Mu Shenlong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Flying Snow Gang invited all the masters to come and seize the Danyang Grass, but I am afraid that there are still some arrangements that we don't know, you must always pay attention to inquire." Thou hast done a great job, and thou hast done it first, and the burden of finding out the news will be entrusted to thee. ”
Bai Yiming bowed and said, "His Holiness has won the award." The subordinates should do their best for the church. ”
