There were two crisp bangs, and Mu Lingyun and Yu Changsheng stood on both sides of Chu Hanyue, one behind the other, they took the jade plaque engraved with the family crest on the table.

"Mu Family, Mu Lingyun." Mu Lingyun spoke lazily, but his speed of speaking was not slow, a beat faster than Yu Changsheng.

Not to be outdone, Yu Changsheng immediately said loudly, "Yu Family, Yu Changsheng."

The chief took a look at the tattoos of the four great families, and immediately changed into an extremely flattering expression, and laughed twice: "It turns out that he is the son of the Mu family and the Yu family. , the little one will present the task card."

The manager asked the waiter to serve tea to the cubicle, invited a few people in, sent a task card, waved the waiter to leave, and closed the door. Then he discussed in detail what the client asked to keep secret: "According to the client, The strange beast has six arms and four legs, and is more than ten feet long. Its cultivation level is still unknown, but it will never exceed the middle stage of the Golden Core. There are many alchemy cultivators in the secret realm of spiritual grass, most of them are not outstanding in cultivation level, and their skills are not strong, so they are difficult to deal with. That’s why I entrusted this task.”

Ten feet in length is not very huge among alien beasts, unless the animal was a cub before being alienated, it would definitely not be at the Golden Core level.

"Why must there be members of the four great families to take on this task?" Chu Hanyue asked.

"This... I don't want to say it clearly, you will know when you go, remember, don't pick the spiritual materials in the secret realm without authorization." The manager reiterated again, and after explaining everything, he suddenly said, "You little brazen, dare to think that this is Chu The eldest son of the family?" Although he covered his face, he was detached just by looking at his figure and temperament, although he hadn't seen many people in charge.

However, the inner disciples of Juntian Mountain often gossip when they come to accept tasks, and he has also heard a lot of deeds. etc.Therefore, when he heard Mu Lingyun's name, he guessed that this person was Chu Hanyue.

"Exactly." Chu Hanyue didn't hide it either, if he hadn't thrown away the family pattern pendant, the one on the table just now would have been three yuan.

"Disrespect, disrespect, I have long admired the name of Mr. Chu." The manager kept bowing.

Chu Hanyue didn't intend to waste time on unnecessary greetings, she got up and wanted to leave, at this moment, the palm of her hand seemed to be casually hooked, and it penetrated into the snow-white tulle.

This intention couldn't be more obvious, it is to use the name of "accidentally" to take a look at the true face of Young Master Chu.

However, he failed. Chu Hanyue wore a veiled hat, but she just didn't want to attract unnecessary admirers along the way, and she didn't really care about showing her face.

So he only took a step back, faster than him, and it was Mu Lingyun's palm that stopped him.

Snapped!There was a loud noise, and the person in charge screamed and jumped up, holding the salty pig's hand that was swollen into a red bun, and blew wildly in front of his mouth: "Mu, Mr. Mu, calm down, the little one didn't do it on purpose, it was really careless!" I have absolutely no intention of coveting Mr. Chu's face!" Before the person involved could blame him, he first recruited here without 300 taels of silver.

However, Mu Lingyun didn't open his mouth to blame, his dissatisfaction was all in this palm, and it was strong enough, at least for three to five days, the palm master would not be able to use this hand, and it would take about ten days for the redness and swelling to subside.

Yu Changsheng was still angry, raised his slap, and was about to yell on the boss's face: "Bold!"

"Enough." The volume of this angry shout was comparable to that of Shu Zhangxue, Chu Hanyue's ears were buzzing by him, and she didn't want to delay, "Let's go."

Yu Changsheng's palm froze in the air for a moment, his fingers twitched, he chased after him, and squeezed in front of Da Li, taking the position on the other side of Chu Hanyue.

The five of them passed through the teleportation array and headed to Xianan City—although this secret realm is in the west, it is already close to the junction of the west and south realms, and Dali's residence in the mortal world is in the south realm, not far from the mission location, so walking from the south city is easy. Go, this is one of the reasons why Chu Hanyue chose this task.

The Mortal Realm is the same as the Fanxiu Realm, and there are also four big cities in the southeast, north and west. Before the separation of the three realms, the four cities of the Fanxiu Realm had not yet been established. It is a huge deep pit left after the cultivation world was uprooted. Nearly [-]% of the area is a lava zone, which is not suitable for survival.

"Go out of the west gate, cross the bridge, and go northwest about six hundred miles. There is a small city without walls. There is a big jujube tree on the northern edge of the city, and my house is right next to it." Da Li said.

"Your house?" Yu Changsheng was surprised.

"Go to Dali's house to visit his family first." Chu Hanyue glanced at Yu Changsheng, apparently just to inform him, not to ask for his opinion.

Yu Changsheng knew that he proposed to form a team abruptly, and he didn't inquire about the plans of several people in advance, so he couldn't say anything, but said: "Don't waste too much time. After going six hundred miles, can you all fly freely?" It was the other three who asked.

"My cultivation is not enough..." Dali scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Brother, why don't you carry me?"

"Let's take a flying boat. I made one a few days ago, and it's just in use." Mu Lingyun rubbed his little head, and took out a four-seater flying boat from his mustard bag. , There are footholds on both sides of the two rows of seats, and the direction can be reversed, which can avoid the embarrassment of unfamiliar people sitting face to face.

Chu Hanyue stepped onto the front seat of the flying boat, turned her back to the back seat, and sat next to her with the carp.

"Brother, let me sit on the floor, or I won't be able to sit down." Da Li was about to step over the seat to go to the middle seat, but was pulled back by Mu Lingyun.

"Brother asked you to sit on the side, you can sit on the side." Mu Lingyun picked up Dali, put it on his lap, and leaned against Chu Hanyue's side.

Yu Changsheng in the back seat was squeezed into a flat strip by the burly Yan Hao, not to mention the soreness in his ribs, his eyes were even more sore when he looked at the shoulder-to-shoulder figure in front of him.

The flying boat sailed through the air, and the huge floating island in the distance was like a floating dark cloud. On the land under the boat, there were dots of faintly bright clusters of spirits, which were the spiritual veins sent to the two realms of Fanxiu and Shenting. In most places, there is a black smoky demonic energy, as if suppressed by something, it can only crawl on the ground not high, where black smoke rarely appears, there are dense green forests, indigo lakes, and occasionally one or two The small-scale settlement—there are only a few more houses than Shengjia Town, and less arable land, occupying an even smaller area, so it can’t be called a city at all—is protected by a seemingly precarious barrier.

The "city" mentioned by Dali is also such a settlement.

The flying boat hovered over the settlement, but did not find the jujube tree. The location in the memory that Dali pointed to, a piece of the protective barrier had collapsed, had been swallowed by the demonic energy. Through the black smoke, one could vaguely see To the ruins of the ancient temple on the ground.The person who set up this enchantment should have considered the unexpected situation, and set up a suture spell pattern that automatically discards the damaged part after it is damaged, and repairs it with the remaining spiritual power, so the enchantment still looks complete, and other places have not been eroded by demonic energy.

Dali looked at it, but didn't feel sad, as if he was used to this kind of thing, he pointed to the west: "There is a big camphor tree in the west, and there is a big locust tree in the northwest. Now, people may have moved to those two places.”

Finally, Da Li found his "family" in the dilapidated ancient Taoist temple next to the big locust tree.

It was an octogenarian old woman, her body was already unfit, and she was wearing a patched jacket, lying half-lying on the same patched jacket, but there were still several holes, revealing dirty gray cotton. There was no bed, only a bed. There was a thin layer of dirty mattress on the sandy floor, but the pillows were in good condition.

But looking at the raised arc, it is square and square, and it doesn't seem to be stuffed with cotton, and there is a layer of torn linen on the top and bottom, protecting it like an heirloom.

"Grandma, I finally found you!" Dali took out a big hoof, a specialty of Budaofeng canteen, "here!"

"Hey, I can't bite down on this, you give it to Xiao An, he's behind the statue." The mother-in-law pointed in the direction with her finger covered with cracks.

I don't know how long the statue has been standing here, and I can't see the original appearance clearly. It looks like a monster whose facial features have been fused, and half of the lips that can barely be seen are curled up, as if crying.

After Dali ran to the back, Chu Hanyue made a piece of Roujiamo, poured tea into the bowl next to the mattress, and soaked the bun: "Grandma, this one is soft."

"Hey, thank you." The mother-in-law narrowed her eyes to look at the person, and Chu Hanyue realized that she probably couldn't see clearly, and recognized the carp should be based on her voice, "Dali, how have you been over the past year?"

"More than a year?" Chu Hanyue was slightly surprised. It has only been nine months since she enrolled in the outer sect, and then she realized that Jun Tianshan's enrollment for the mortal world is concentrated in the big city of Sifang. The extra three months are probably spent. On the journey of six hundred miles, full of demonic energy, a child with no self-cultivation broke into Xianan City all the way, and he didn't know whether to feel sorry for his hardships along the way, or to rejoice that he was lucky not to be swallowed by a strange beast.

Dali was turning around the statue, and smiled wildly: "I was delayed on the road for three months, and while walking, I moved green bricks in the small towns along the way to earn some food expenses. Fortunately, I caught up with it, and I didn't know how to sign up until I got there. To collect money, I thought I didn’t need money, so I left all the money I saved before leaving.”

"Oh, look at our gang, it's really hard work." The mother-in-law beat the quilt reproachfully, her lips squirmed for a long time, but she didn't swallow a small mouthful of buns.

"Still too hard?" Chu Hanyue asked, Mu Lingyun held the bowl in his palm, and used his spiritual power to heat the tea, making the roujiamo more mushy.

The mother-in-law pursed her lips in embarrassment, and then swallowed: "It's not hard, it's just right, it's just... the first time I've eaten such a good thing..."

"I have made money, and I can eat whatever I want in the future. When the time comes, we will build a green brick house, build a kitchen, and start a business by ourselves." Dali stuffed a handful of gold into her mother-in-law's hand, "How did Xiaoan's legs break? Now, where's Aunt An? She's in poor health, won't she also move green bricks? Didn't Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu pay Aunt An more? "

There are a lot of broken mattresses on the ground like a big shop. Presumably, as Dali said, they have all gone out to make a living, but since they have jobs, how can they end up in such a wasteland?

In the original book, there is not much writing about the mortal world, [-]% is focused on Long Aotian killing strange beasts in various secret realms and obtaining treasures, and the remaining [-]% is surrounding the four big cities below, and there is almost no mention of other places.Chu Hanyue doesn't know what kind of life the living beings in the mortal world lead.

However, from Dali's description in the past six months, and now, let alone life, even survival is extremely difficult.

"Little Five and Little Six also left two months ago. They found their spiritual roots and went to the top." The mother-in-law pointed to the direction of Fan Xiujie in the air.

"Juntian Mountain? But the date of registration is not right. The summer recruiting is before March, and the winter recruiting doesn't have to start so early." Dali was surprised, "No, it's not that I agreed to check the situation first, and when I get back, Decide whether to go or not."

"It's not Juntian Mountain. It's two casual cultivators who came to recruit people. They didn't charge money, because we didn't have enough food and clothing. They even gave us five hundred dollars." The mother-in-law said, "He's really a good person."

As soon as Chu Hanyue heard it, she felt something was wrong: "Loose cultivators? Did you say where to recruit them specifically, and what are the characteristics of the two?"

"I heard the voices of two men in their early forties. They were very kind. I couldn't see them clearly. I heard from Xiao An that the two men were wearing brown tunic robes, and they didn't wear jade belts or anything. The pouch can hold such a big magic weapon ball." The mother-in-law gestured the size of the aura test ball with both hands, "It must be the cultivator above. They said that there are rules in the cultivation world, and you can't come down at will when you go up, and they promised You will take good care of the two children, so there should be no problem, right?"

"How could I not have asked..."

Mu Lingyun and Chu Hanyue shot at the same time, elbowing the speaking Yu Changsheng's abdomen, who made a muffled grunt and was forced to keep silent.

"Don't worry, I just went to practice and there will be no problem." Mu Lingyun said briskly.

In terms of acting skills, or the outstanding devil, Chu Hanyue would never be able to pretend to have such a flawless and reassuring tone.

The problem is serious, except Juntian Mountain, all sects are not allowed to directly accept disciples from the mortal world.Of course, Long Aotian and Xia Houao were a special case, almost in the name of being a half-marriage, he was brought into the world.

Moreover, those two sisters forced the suzerain's father to forge the household registration of Fanxiu Realm for him.But if it's just two ordinary mortal children, it's absolutely impossible to be treated like this, it's too suspicious.

The mother-in-law couldn't see clearly, and Mu Lingyun's acting skills didn't have much effect on her. After living a long time, she felt the strange atmosphere, and said anxiously, "Is it really all right?"

"No problem." With a sad face, Dali managed to squeeze out a smile, held her mother-in-law's hand, and deliberately changed the topic, "Grandma, you haven't answered me yet. How did Xiao An's leg break? Where's Aunt An?"

"Look at my brain, you asked me so much just now, and you forgot." The mother-in-law's face did not improve, but became even more disturbed, "Three days ago, the barrier was broken, and the monster knocked down the North Temple. The leg was broken, so everyone pieced together things, counting what the monk left behind, and put together six hundred dollars.

Ask the doctor to come and see, the doctor said that it takes at least one or two gold to cure it, and it must be cured within seven days.

Otherwise, this leg will be useless, we can't raise money, and the Lingshi Mine just happened to be recruiting workers. Aunt An didn't listen to the persuasion, carved a message on the ground, and sneaked away in the middle of the night.The Lingshi Mine is a place where people cannibalize. Xiao An's father died in the mine. Dali, can you think of a way to get her back? "

"Brother, shall we go to the Lingshi Mine first? Aunt An has a cough and can't bear it." Dali clutched Chu Hanyue's sleeve.

"Okay, let's go to the Lingshi Mine first and get the person back." Not only looking for the person, Chu Hanyue also went to see what kind of mine it is that can "eat people".

"We have a mission here, so we shouldn't delay it." Yu Changsheng refused.

Chu Hanyue glanced at him: "Are you short of money?" As she spoke, she went to the back of the statue, checked Xiaoan's broken leg, connected it with a bandage, and fed him a bone-building and muscle-building pill—this pill belongs to Dan There is no grade in the way of medicine in Taoism. Jun Tianshan does not teach it in the classroom, and the spiritual material hall does not accept it. Chu Hanyue does not practice alchemy for making money. square.

"Of course not." Yu Changsheng chased after him, and hurriedly explained to prevent his image of Ling Ran from collapsing, "The mining of spirit stone mines in the human world has its own set of rules, and we cannot interfere without authorization."

"It turns out that it's not the spirit stone mine that eats people, but the rules." Mu Lingyun leaned on the statue, turned his wrist, and pressed the mustard seed bag with his palm.

The intuition of many years of martial arts made Yu Changsheng aware of a slight danger, and he grabbed the palm of his hand in the air, and the spirit sword lay across his chest: "What do you want to do?"

Mu Lingyun took a step forward and moved in front of Xiao An, preventing him from seeing the light of the sword. With a hook of his fingertips, a small section of the black knife hilt was exposed: "What do you want to do?"

"If you don't want to go, you can stay." Aunt An's life or death is uncertain, and a moment's delay may be too late. Chu Hanyue didn't want to spend too much time convincing her teammates, so she put down a few pieces of Roujiamo and looked at the ruins all over the floor. For the quilt, he simply grabbed a handful of gold and added it to the pile that Dali put down, ready to go.

The mother-in-law couldn't see clearly, couldn't tell whether the pile was gold or shellfish, she only knew it was a lot of money, and she kept saying thank you.

Yu Changsheng said: "The team must act together."

Chu Hanyue looked at his waist badge, with a cold light in her eyes: "No one, the jade badge is the same."
