Mu Pingwu was so frightened that he almost wanted to urinate in the pocket of his trousers, but when he thought that if he really urinated, he might be burned to ashes by the man in front of him, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold back the urge to urinate.

He was thinking about how to deal with this man, at this moment, the heart lock on the man's chest suddenly flashed.

"Casia, Alanna has appeared." A male voice came from inside.

The man named "Jade Ming" changed his face and replied, "I see."

Mu Pingwu finally knew the identity of the person in front of him. He was the Elder of Pills in Baochen Mountain, the younger brother of Grand Master Wudu——Baili Jueming.

Baili Jueming put away the Lianxin lock and asked again whether he agreed with him to store the goods in Mu's house.

Mu Pingwu swallowed, "What are the goods, those boxes?"

"You don't need to know." Baili Jueming said.

"And what if I say 'disagree'?"

Baili Jueming looked down at the silver needle between his fingers, his fingers were white and slender, twisting the silver needle seemed to twist a cluster of blue flames.

"Then it will cost a few more needles." He said blankly.

Mu Ping felt chills on his back, and what he was most afraid of were needles. When he was sick, his mother would always take him to acupuncture.Intuition told him that the silver needle in this man's hand was more deadly than acupuncture.A good man doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, he agrees first, and then he tells his parents that there are thieves in the house after they wake up.

After all, he was young, and he only wanted to survive at that time, so he couldn't think about too many things.It was many years later that he realized that his thoughtless response changed many things, the most important of which was the fate of the descendants of the Mu family.All in all, no matter what Baili Jueming said, he agreed to it all.

The man looked satisfied, and said to him, "Boy, now that you know what happens when you open those boxes, this is your last good luck. Remember, no matter what, never open those boxes again." He finished , and another needle was stabbed in the back of Mu Pingwu's neck, and Mu Pingwu passed out.

The next morning, he woke up in his room.The first thing he did was to go out, Mujiabao was the same as usual, the servants and maids were doing their own jobs, the patrolling disciples were meticulously shifting their shifts, parents had breakfast at Banyuexuan, and there was a dish that was too salty that day , His mother even trained the cook.What's different is that the group of people from Baochenshan disappeared, together with their goods, disappeared without a trace.It was as if that dangerous man had never been here last night, and he didn't even see a piece of his clothes.

"Father, where are the people from Baochen Mountain?" He asked his father.

"Baochen Mountain?" His father was full of surprise.

"The group of people who came to our house yesterday, where did they go?"

His parents didn't respond, they all stared at him until he was hair-raising.His mother insisted that he was bewitched by an evil spirit, and asked his father to recite sutras to drive away the evil spirits, and even took him to acupuncture.He was stunned, and realized belatedly that everyone in the family, including his parents, had completely forgotten what happened yesterday and those weird people in Baochen Mountain.

Those iron-clad wood boxes, strange arms and strange people with eyes, and Baili Cassia, just disappeared out of thin air.He yelled that they were bewitched by evil spirits, and asked his father to take him to Baochen Mountain for an explanation.His father didn't believe it, so he hung him up and beat him again.He was out of action, and the more he talked, the more people felt that he was bewitched.A man ran out of the door and went to the city gate building to ask the gatekeeper if he had opened the city gate last night to let people in and out.If the people from Baochen Mountain leave Xunzhou, they must show their legal diplomas and guides.Few people leave the city at night, and the gatekeeper must be impressed.

The gatekeeper said no, "Impossible, no one left the city. The gate of our Xunzhou city is a thousand-jin gate, and ten big men are required to open it together. We will never let anyone out of the city without interrogation. I haven't closed my eyes, no one must have left the city last night."

No one left the city last night, and the people from Baochen Mountain were still in Xunzhou.Mu Pingwu felt cold in his hands and feet, and a more terrifying guess floated in his heart—they were still in Mujiabao.He searched every corner of Mujiabao, but he couldn't find any trace of those boxes and those strange people.Because of this incident, he could hardly sleep at night.Somewhere in the house, there is a strange person with eyes on his hands. Maybe when the night is quiet and everyone falls asleep, they will crawl out of the shadows and wander around in Mujiabao.

However, the long years passed by little by little, and he never saw the man holding the silver needle again. The Mu family castle was safe and sound, until he got married and got married, there were no evil spirits haunting him.Until later, he began to doubt his memory, suspecting that the arm full of eyes was just a dream of his childhood.Children always have difficulty distinguishing the difference between dreams and reality, and maybe he is no exception.If there is anything unusual to be found, it is that his parents, as Baili Jueming said, never gave birth to a second child.He is the eldest son of Mu Jiabao and the only heir.

Thirty-eight years later, his father died suddenly, and he became the head of the Mu family as a matter of course.And what happened that day and night was like a dream, which he gradually forgot as time went by.

Until he succeeded the head of the Mu family, he paid homage to the grand master and elder of the pill in Baochen Mountain as usual.That was 50 years ago, the second time he met Baili Cassia in his life.Baili Cassia has not changed at all, as young as he was ten years ago 38 years ago.Black hair and black eyes, pure porcelain cheeks, sitting at the feet of the head, as if the worshipers like them are dust and dirt, sticking to the soles of their feet and still feel dirty.

When he saw that face, the long memory resurfaced again, and the trembling lurking deep in his body crept up his spine.That was not a dream, it was something that actually happened.He had seen Baili Cassia, it was in Mujiabao!

"Elder Baili," he said carefully, bowing his head respectfully, "38 years ago, you left something at Mu's house. I don't know when you will pick it up? Or maybe the junior sent it to you?"

Baili Jueming was obviously fed up with these people's hypocritical visits and greetings, and frowned impatiently, "It must be something unimportant to let you go. I'll send you off, so don't bother me."

"This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate." He broke out in a cold sweat.

"I say it's all right." Baili Jueming ran out of patience, stood up humbly, and said to Wudu who was beside him, "I still have to sleep, so you can just leave it here and be a Bodhisattva."

Then there was a shocking change in Mujiabao. The head of the Mu family moved their house and left the Mujiabao where the evil spirits were entrenched.As Mujiabao fell into the ghost domain and was completely sealed off, Baili Jueming's goods and those bandaged people in Baochen Mountain became a complete mystery.Until now, Mu Pingwu still doesn't know where the people from Baochen Mountain went and what the goods of Baili Cassia are.

After hearing Mu Pingwu's memories, Xie Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and had an answer in his heart.

Neither Mu Pingwu nor his parents realized that the Baochen Mountain monks who had passed through Xunzhou that day were not strangers, but a group of ghosts.Now I can be sure that Master has indeed been to the ghost country before his death.Not only that, they encountered an extremely tragic battle in the ghost country, and almost their entire army was wiped out.

Yinmu Village is built of fragrant fir, and those who die in it are easily transformed into corpses.Most of the master's monks have become ghosts, and their original bodies may be damaged and unusable. They returned to the human world with the skin of the thousand-eyed corpse attached.That's why many had bandages on their bodies, and their swords were stinking with blood.And that arm was a special case. Baochenshan must not have known much about the ghost country at that time. They didn't know that the ghosts in the ghost country had strange shapes, so they rashly used the thousand-eyed corpse.That arm should have undergone the same distortion as Xie Cenguan's half corpse, and it happened to be bumped into by the unlucky Mu Pingwu.

The arm was deformed, and the monks in Baochen Mountain realized that the skin of the thousand-eyed corpse could no longer be used, so they decided to stay in Mujiabao and wait for the master to deal with it.If the guess is correct, those thousand-eyed corpses were not hidden in Mujiabao as Mu Pingwu said, but were burned by Master with karmic fire.From then on, Grandpa Wudu made a rule that all ghosts coming out of the ghost country must be burnt clean.

As for those "goods"... Xie Xunwei's thoughts changed sharply. According to Mu Pingwu's description, most of the boxes contained official documents and books, which must have been collected from the ghost kingdom.In this way, there are answers to many things. The technique of summoning ghosts and arresting spirits comes from the ghost country, and there is a copy of it in Grandpa Wudu's small library.Presumably, Grandpa Wudu and Shizun took out these classics while exploring the ghost kingdom.

But why did the master keep the classics in the Mu family?The goods are obviously Master's, why didn't Master escort these monks from Baochen Mountain together?He looked at Baili Jueming, who was touching his chin, and said suspiciously, "Baochen Mountain is quite big, why should I put those things in your Mu family?"

Mu Pingwu smiled wryly: "I have to ask you at that time."

"Come at night, go at night, counting, I stayed at your house for two hours at that time, right?" Baili Jueming asked.

"It should be so." Mu Pingwu said.

Baili Jueming leaned back in his chair, "It seems that I was a busy person at the time."

Xie Xunwei's heart skipped a beat, Master was right, in such a hurry, he must have other important things at that time.When monk Baochenshan escorted the goods, he should be doing business somewhere else.Because of the lack of time, his subordinates lost their bodies, so he had no choice but to store the goods in Mu's house and hurried back.By the way, Master once received a summons from someone, saying "Alanna has appeared".Alanna, Alanna... No wonder he didn't know what the word meant, it was a name, the name of a Marsan.

Could it be that Master came from the ghost country at that time?

Finally got a clue, instead of looking for it in a daze, Xie Xunwei has a peace of mind.He may soon know what Grandpa Wudu and Master have done for hundreds of years.

"Okay, I'll go over to Mujiabao." Baili Jueming propped his chin, and said lazily, "You can draw me a copy of what those boxes look like. I'll go and see what they are. Fish out your grandson." He stood up and stretched his waist, "I'll tell you for the last time, if your grandson is full and has nothing to do to seek death, I don't care."

"sure."

Mu Pingwu bowed and was about to salute, but Baili Jueming stopped him.He took Mu Pingwu's shoulders and pulled him far away, "How do you know I'm in Baochen Mountain?"

Mu Pingwu said: "If you come to Baochen Mountain from the south, Xunzhou is the only way to go. Yesterday, seniors crossed the border with Mrs. Xunwei, so my Mu family naturally knows."

"So that's how it is." Baili Jueming seemed hesitant to speak, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he didn't know who he was hiding from, "Um...does Pei Zhen know that I'm here?"
