Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 70 The Mu Family's Concealment

When I jumped down from the cowshed, I felt that I couldn't stand up anymore, my legs were weak, and I quickly sat on the ground against the mouth of the well, panting desperately.

Xu Qingfeng also got up on the ground and sat beside me.

Looking at the scattered ashes floating in the sky, I have to recover quickly.Opening a piece of chocolate, she asked Qingfeng if she wanted to eat it. She shook her head and said, where are the people in the village?

Thinking of this, I started to sit cross-legged and meditate to gather energy. Although there was no danger yet, I didn't know what would happen soon.

Just when I gathered my energy and was about to stand up, a word Xu Qingfeng said made me vigilant.

"Thirteen, look, across the road, there seems to be a group of people walking this way!"

Looking around, it was exactly as she said, but what I saw was not people, but a group of wraiths of different sizes, the number was very large.

Could it be my death day today? With this amount, another Da Luo Jinxian can't solve it?

When I was worrying, I saw that the fist that had broken the skin just now in the well began to recover, but the speed was not as fast as before.

By the way, I can use my artifact!

I quickly took off my Taoist robe and shirt, bit my fingers, and wrote the Vajra Breaking Talisman on my chest.Looking at the gauze on his right shoulder, the tattoo should have healed.So I tore it hard, and suddenly felt that the hair on the shoulder was hot, and the bright red tattoo gave off a dark red light, which was fleeting.

"Hurry up like a law! Drive!"

A golden light flashed from my back, Xu Qingfeng hurriedly covered his eyes, and shouted what happened.Not long after, she looked in surprise at a red halberd that appeared out of nowhere in my hand.

"This, this is too unreal!" After she finished speaking, she touched the Candle Dragon Halberd in my hand.

"Weird things are yet to come." Looking at the corpses of the master and his wife, he lay peacefully on the ground, and said to himself, if it's a big deal, I'll go and accompany you.

Leaning down, I took out the copper coin sword from my backpack, handed it to Xu Qingfeng, and said seriously: "Hide behind me, don't be brave."

Then he pulled her towards the group of wraiths.

Standing on the main road, I waited for them to come to me and light a cigarette by the way.It's not how confident I am, the main reason is that their number is almost catching up with a regiment-level army.

And there are a few wraiths, more than twice as tall as the "fat black man" I met with my master in the woods.

"Thirteen, are you really okay? They look like they are very strong?"

I took a big drag on the cigarette, and watched a short guy running towards me quickly.He flicked the cigarette butt at him, and then swung the halberd naturally. After a spark, it disappeared into the air.

"See, it fell down before I exerted any strength." I was not such an arrogant person, but tonight I have experienced the ups and downs in the world, and my spirit has begun to be a little confused.

All the ghosts on the other side of the road, seeing their little brother being cut down by me like this, let out roars that shook the sky and the earth.

I thought to myself, do you think you are the only ones who can shout?

Immediately, he sank into his dantian, turned towards them vigorously, and cursed: "Go to hell, dog basket!"

As soon as the sound came out, there was a sudden surge of wind and clouds, bringing with it layers of fallen leaves and flying sand and rocks.A wave of energy visible to the naked eye surged towards this group of lonely and innocent ghosts.

There were a few unjust ghosts, and I yelled off the black shell of their bodies and flew into the sky.

They also seemed to have seen how powerful I was, and stopped in their tracks one after another, not daring to move forward for a while.I thought to myself, right now, I was about to swing my halberd, when two people came from the north of the road, their words interrupted my movement.

"You are Thirteen, right? Forget it, you should take a rest and leave the rest to us. After all, the magic weapon in your hand will wipe out this group of lonely ghosts. At any rate, they used to be people from this village .”

As the two approached, I subconsciously protected Xu Qingfeng behind me and stared at them vigilantly.The two are thin and about fifty years old.But I found that the two people in front of them didn't look like bad guys.

However, there are no absolutes in everything, and it is better to be careful.My uncle looks so much like me, isn't he also from the Soul Sect?

I nervously looked at the two people in front of me and said, "Who are you two?"

"Mu Xiaojiang, this is my younger brother Mu Xiaohai. I think you should know the relationship between our Mu family and your master." The person who spoke was much better in attitude and politeness than the person who spoke just now.

Maybe it was because of nervousness, but after they reported their names, I discovered that they were twins.

The two of them didn't talk much, and just chanted the mantra directly, and saw that the surroundings of the village seemed to be glowing with white light.Although it is only white light, it is a certain distance away from the golden light.But this is the first time I have seen such a large magic circle.

Judging by their martial arts, it should be from the Maoshan sect, but I can't understand the spells they said.

Xu Qingfeng seemed to see the doubt on my face, and whispered in my ear: "They speak the dialect of Jurong."

Oh, I see, I thought it was a foreign language.

But, why didn't the village head just ask them to catch zombies?Didn't my master sacrifice in vain?I frowned with doubts all over my face, not daring to leave their bodies for a moment.

The surrounding white light became brighter and brighter, and then reached a peak state, and the two brothers blurted out at the same time: "Urgent as a law! Drive!"

As soon as the voice fell, the black shell of the wraith in the magic circle quickly fell off, and then flew straight into the sky.In just a few minutes, all the ghosts just disappeared.

I couldn't help sighing secretly in my heart, what an awesome p.

The sky did not know when, it began to rain thinly.The Candle Dragon Halberd in his hand also disappeared into this rainy night along with the ashes in the air.I hope that one day, I can be like this raindrop, floating freely.

"I don't know, where is Daoist Zhang now?" Mu Xiaojiang's words brought me back to the real world.

"My master, he flew up on a crane." After finishing speaking, he pulled Qingfeng and walked towards the corpses of the master and his wife.

Changed into a set of dry clothes at Mu's house, washed his face casually, and walked into the living room.

His house looks much larger from the outside than other houses, and it is even more spacious and bright inside.What makes me curious is that there are two statues of gods placed in his shrine.

One is Lu Ban; the other is Zhang Daoling.

I picked up the three sticks of incense, and respectfully bowed three times, which is considered to be fulfilled.But when I made my wish, why didn't I think of bringing my master and wife with me?
After wiping his nose, he sat on the sofa and drank hot tea.

At this time, the Mu family brothers came back, followed by the village chief and an old man they had never seen before.

The village chief said that the bodies of the master and his wife were temporarily parked in the mourning hall in the village.After I finished speaking, I wiped away my tears, I nodded my thanks, and then said to the Mu family brothers: "I remember, the master said that the Mu family couple has no children, where did you come from?"

I can feel my own eyes, not very friendly.But Mu Xiaojiang laughed instead, and opened his mouth and said: "Our Mu family is a big clan. The original owners of this family were our second uncle and second aunt. The Mu family was originally named Murong. I heard from the old people in our ancestors that we were During the Northern Song Dynasty, he changed his surname to Mu and traveled around in order to avoid the pursuit of his enemies, and finally ended up living here."

Seeing that I was still frowning, he began to tell me about the time when the master and master passed by here, which happened to be after the plague.Their mother died in this plague.

The old Taoist who saved the villagers, along with their father, took the two brothers to many places, avoiding the pursuit of the old beggar.Finally settled down in Maoshan.Our current house was left by the old Mu family couple for his brothers.

"Then why is there no mention of these in the master's notes?"

"He is afraid that the secret will be discovered, and the two of us will be in danger."

"Who discovered it? A beggar?" I really don't want to believe that this person is so blind and has such a great ability.

"Well, since you insist on getting to the bottom of it, I'll tell you. That old beggar was a leader of the Soul Sect at that time. At that time, your master discovered that there was a loophole in the old beggar's words, and only then did he realize that the matter was not simple. In order to protect you Master, drive him away."

"What loophole? Why didn't I find it?"

"Actually, it's not that the villagers hide from your master and master, but from the old beggar."

I tried my best to recall the contents of the notes. What the master wrote here seemed to be soaked in water and was a little blurry.Hearing this explanation now, I understand that the master should have written it in tears.

Maybe it was when he grew up that he realized that the master had already seen that something was wrong with the old beggar.

Then, Mu Xiaojiang talked about the reason why the old beggar did this.It was nothing more than to refine the soul, the plague was deliberately released, which led to this disaster.However, his goal was not achieved. Without the souls of the Mu family brothers, the soul refining could not be completed.Before the old Taoist left, he blinded the old blind man to prevent him from continuing to do evil.

The content recorded in the notebook is nothing more than not wanting my apprentices to find out about these things, deliberately writing scribbles to mislead me.However, fate has long been doomed, and the truth will surface sooner or later, how can a few pieces of paper be able to control it?

As for why they didn't go down the well instead of master and mistress, it was a complete accident.

The people in the village didn't know their true identities.I just know that doing business outside has a little money.It was only when he received a call from his father that he realized the seriousness of the matter. The two immediately set off to return to the village, but it was still a step late.

"When Tunzi was built, our ancestors made a magic circle, and passed down the driving magic formula all the time. We didn't know what it was used for at the time, and we didn't know it was used until today. Fortunately, my father I haven't forgotten what I taught us brothers." Mu Xiaojiang said with a helpless smile.

I thought about it and realized that the ancestors of the Mu family were really strong.A hundred years ago, we could have predicted that such a day would come.

After thinking about it, I talked about what happened under the well, and guessed that this well should be the hiding place of the Soul Sect back then.

Mu Xiaohai didn't say a word, probably thinking about it, but he didn't say what they thought.Perhaps, only people from the Soul Sect can explain clearly.

After a while, I told the dozing village head next to me that on a good day, I would fill the well and set off two firecrackers for joy.

After I finished speaking, Mu Xiaojiang said to me: "By the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is my father. He also has something to say to you, but I considered that you might not understand his dialect, so I Speak for him."

Mu Xiaojiang is very good at talking, we talked until dawn, watching the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipate, the truth is getting closer and closer to me, because I learned an important message from Mu Xiaojiang.

Before going down the well, the master told Mr. Mu that if he can't come up, or if he comes up sideways, let me go to Changbai to find information.

After hearing the news, I have been thinking about this matter in my heart, thinking that it is best to go in summer, so that I don't have to suffer too much.But these things are not what I should think about now.The funeral of the master and his wife is the most important thing.
