Chapter 138: Earth Spirit Mouse (Text)
In a palatial inner room renovated in the inner courtyard of Wujiabao, an elegant middle-aged man was explaining martial arts knowledge to a handsome and burly young man.
Dangdang, three hurried copper bells suddenly rang in the room. The elegant middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then stopped explaining, retreated to the bench on the side, sat down, and leisurely picked up a cup of fragrant tea with a suitable temperature on the coffee table next to him, and tasted it.
The young man frowned slightly, arched his hand to the elegant middle-aged man, walked out of the inner study, walked along the beautifully carved golden silk nanmu corridor, walked into a jade-paved corridor, and appeared in the flower hall outside a moment later.
Outside the flower hall, there were two big men in Tsing Yi standing respectfully at this time, and when they saw the young man appear, the two big men hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "I've seen the head of the house." ”
"What's the matter, so anxious, and you want to see it in person?" the young man asked indifferently, as if the sky would not change color when it fell. This young man is Wu Shan, the head of Wujiabao, and Wu Yan's younger brother.
"The head of the family, the villain just now found a group of suspicious people wandering outside the fort on the wall of the outer courtyard fort, and according to the castle residents who returned from the fort, this group of people is inquiring about the head of the family and your family, and they even mentioned the name of the eldest master. One of the big men reported to Wu Shanyu without hesitation.
The big lord in the mouth of the Great Han is the honorific title of Wu Yan from Wujiabao. Before Wu Yan left home, Wujiabao had already been built on a large scale. In the past few years, with the support of the Iron Blood Alliance, the largest gang in Yunzhou, Wujiabao has once again made great progress and has become the largest hidden force in Yunzhou City. However, Wu Shan did not dare to disobey the instructions left by his brother at the beginning, Wu Jiabao did not intervene in any disputes between the forces in the rivers and lakes, nor did he participate in any disputes in the current situation of the dynasty, because although Wu Jiabao in Yunzhou has developed into a powerful force second only to the Iron and Blood Alliance, its reputation is limited to some small circles.
"I, Wu Jiabao, don't participate in the disputes between the rivers and lakes, who is so presumptuous?" Wu Shan raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be faintly angry.
"The head of the family, the villain listens to the accents of those people in the rivers and lakes, not my Yunzhou people. The villain has also traveled to many places before, and has seen some customs and customs, and listening to the accents of those people, it seems that they are from the Heavenly Wolf County. Another big man said.
"The people of the Heavenly Wolf County, hmm, go and summon the four poisonous warriors of the Tang family to come to see this seat!" Wu Shan's face suddenly changed, and he said to the two big men in Tsing Yi in a cold voice.
Seeing Wu Shan's expression, the two men in Tsing Yi were also taken aback, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard. Wu Shan walked back to the inner room. The elegant middle-aged man was still sitting there sipping tea, as if he didn't care.
"Master Lu, I'm afraid things are a little troublesome. Wu Shan walked back to the inner room, and when he saw the elegant middle-aged man, he went straight to the point.
"Oh, hehe, this is strange, is the Lord of Wu Bao still afraid of any trouble? The Lord of Wu Bao has already reached the realm of divine strength and void at a young age, and the poisonous methods of the Wu family are even more unpredictable, if you don't go to find trouble with others, people will burn high incense, who else dares to break ground on the head of your Tai Sui?" The elegant middle-aged man put down the teacup and joked with a smile.
Master Lu laughed. If it weren't for your guidance, how could I have achieved what I am today? Don't talk about this, has the master forgotten, why did my brother send you and Miss Jiang here in the past?" Wu Yan said with a solemn look on his face.
"The Jiang family's immortal cultivators have been found?" The elegant middle-aged man's face suddenly became gloomy, and the tone of his voice changed. This person is Lu Xuanyu, the Cangwu hero who was forced to come to Wujiabao by Wu Yan with the poison of the Rotten Heart Pill, and when he heard Wu Yan's name, Lu Xuanyu immediately thought of the Jiang family, an immortal cultivator family in Tianluo County.
Lu Xuanyu has now lived in seclusion in Wujiabao for more than four years, and has developed a strong attachment to this place, although he taught Wu Shan's martial arts kung fu in accordance with the original agreement with Wu Yan, and Wu Shan also helped his master and apprentice remove the poison of the rotten heart pill on his body according to the agreement on the content of Wu Yan's secret letter, but Lu Xuanyu did not leave, but took the opportunity to join Wujiabao and became a guest of Wujiabao.
"Listening to the report from the spies in the fort, it seems that I didn't see any immortal cultivators appearing, but some people from the rivers and lakes. However, it is not excluded that those immortal cultivators are suspicious and send these people from the rivers and lakes to explore the reality of our Wujiabao. Master, do you think there will be a few immortal cultivators this time? When my eldest brother killed one of the Jiang family's most talented immortal cultivators, since they have already found out our origins, will they send a large number of immortal cultivators here to attack my Wujiabao?" Although Wu Shan's martial arts have reached the realm of divine strength and void transformation, he has no experience in fighting immortal cultivators. Although Wu Yan is also an immortal cultivator, when he was in Wujiabao, Wu Yan didn't seem to have made a move, except for stepping on the green leaf magic weapon when he left, he didn't use any immortal cultivator's means, which made Wu Shan really feel a little clueless.
"The castle master doesn't have to worry, as far as the old man knows, immortal cultivators can't make a move on ordinary people, otherwise they will be punished by heaven. They will not be too many people this time. Back then, the old man heard in Heavenly Wolf City that Brother Ling could easily kill immortal cultivators with poison techniques, and there were many poison masters trained in Wujiabao over the years, and it may not be impossible to defeat them. Lu Xuanyu pondered for a while, and then explained and analyzed to Wu Shan in an orderly manner.
Hearing Lu Xuanyu say this, Wu Shan was really relieved.
At this time, Wu Shan suddenly turned his head to look outside the house, then smiled and walked out.
Four young men with peculiar animal skin bags on their waists and deerskin gloves on their hands, stood in a row with indifferent faces, stood under the eaves outside the house, and when they saw Wu Shan, the four of them had a respectful expression on their indifferent faces, and arched their hands and said: "The four brothers of the Tang family meet the head of the family!"
"Well, excuse me. Tang Da, now there are suspicious Jianghu people outside the fort to spy on my Wu family fort, this seat suspects that these people are my Wu family's former enemies to find the door, the four of you go out to capture this group of people to this seat, and ask them about their origin and purpose. Wu Shan nodded at the four of them, and then commanded in a cold voice.
The four of them all bowed their hands in agreement, and then withdrew from the courtyard, and their bodies disappeared strangely at the gate of the courtyard. The footwork used by these four people is the footwork of the rivers and lakes of Weizhen Yunzhou at the beginning.
After arranging the four of them, Wu Shan was still a little uneasy, and sent Bao Ding to call a young man with thick eyebrows to give instructions. This thick-eyed young man is a mechanic trained by Wu Shan in recent years, and he is well versed in the way of mechanical engineering, and is very familiar with several powerful traps in Wujiabao. In order to prevent outsiders from sneaking in, Wu Shan also instructed this person to personally check whether all the mechanisms were opened.
After arranging these, Wu Shan walked back to the inner room and discussed with Lu Xuanyu again.
......
Wu Yan flew all the way out of Xiuzhen Gate to the southeast, and on this day, he flew for most of the day, and arrived at the top of a valley called Hongshi Gorge, and was about to fly over. Suddenly, a squeaky mouse screamed from a leather pouch around his waist.
Wu Yan was first surprised, and then overjoyed. This leather bag was a spirit beast bag given to him by Senior Brother Feng Hanxiao before leaving, and it contained a first-level and upper-level spirit beast earth spirit mouse. This ground spirit rat has no other skills, but the nose is surprisingly sensitive, especially for spiritual utensils and mountains, rocks and civil engineering is more sensitive, so this ground spirit mouse is also called treasure hunting mouse. Since this spirit beast is so restless, it means that in the valley below, there are either treasures or spiritual lands.
Wu Yan hurriedly landed on a hill with his sword, then took off the spirit beast bag and opened it, and the ground spirit rat, which looked like a big golden cat, squeaked and jumped to the ground, and then rushed towards the canyon below.
Wu Yan's Imperial Weapon followed closely behind the spirit rat and flew towards the valley.
This canyon is a hundred miles in size, because most of the mountains and rocks in the valley are dark red, so it is called the Red Stone Canyon. The red stone canyon is about more than 5,000 miles away from Jinji Ridge, because it is located in the deep mountains and barren forests, the mountains are not high, the water is not dangerous, except for the dense red stones, there are no other characteristics, usually people pass over here, but also fly away in a hurry, and do not stay.
The gobin ran along the red rocks all the way to the depths of the valley below. Half an hour later, a beast and a man appeared under a cliff boulder at the bottom of the canyon.
This mountain cliff is abrupt and steep, with an area of about more than ten zhang in size, like a roof, covering a small hole more than one zhang in size.
At the entrance of the cave, there is a small stone pool that is clear and deep. The small stone pond is connected to the red stone stream upstream, and when the stream arrives here, it gathers into this small pool. However, the pool of water did not stop there, but flowed into the stone cave of unknown depth and size through a stone crack under the mouth of the cave.
When the ground spirit rat arrived, it shrugged its nose and shook for a moment, and then without hesitation, it threw itself into the stone cave and disappeared. Wu Yan naturally didn't dare to delay, but he didn't dare to be careless, the body protection sword and shield on his body appeared faintly on the surface of his body, and then he took a step and followed in.
The cave in front of you is winding, and in many places it is even so narrow that even one person cannot pass through it. The spirit rat kept drilling forward along the water flow below the cave, and Wu Yan could only follow behind it, constantly moving forward. When he encountered a place where guò could not be passed, he used the Molin sword to cut a path that could accommodate people to pass guò.
This cave stretches down to the ground, and the cave is so dark that you can't see. Fortunately, Wu Yan carried the moon fluorite with him, Wu Yan held the moon fluorite in one hand and the Mo Lin sword in the other, and followed the earth spirit mouse zigzag down for more than ten miles, and appeared in a hole in the ground, and the earth spirit mouse finally stopped by a pool of water in the cave.
Wu Yan embedded the moon fluorite on the mountain rock next to him, and carefully looked at the underground cave and the ground spirit rat.
He found that this was actually an underground cave more than ten miles underground, this cave seemed to be a naturally formed underground cave, and the rocks on the four walls of the cave were covered with dark green moss, which looked very damp. The whole cave is about more than ten zhang in size, and the stone crack leading to this cave is on the edge side of the cave, and the water flows slowly down from the stone crack and flows into a small natural pool on the side of the cave. The water in the pond is deep and dark, and I don't know how deep it is.
