"But my disciples see that everyone in the Qin family has some level of cultivation. Although their level is not high, they have a solid foundation. Especially the head of the Qin family, although he is a little older, his cultivation level should be better than that of Uncle Guo. It needs to be a bit stronger.”
After all, Mu Jingyu has been practicing in Jiuhua Mountain for three years, so he still has some discernment.
"This, you don't know." The drunkard said: "I think it was more than forty years ago, when my master's cultivation was still at the peak of Guiyuan. One day when I was passing by Xihan Yuanzhou, I happened to meet a The caravan was attacked by several spirits in human form. We helped them, drove away the spirits, and saved the group of dozens of traveling merchants."
"Later, the young man who led the team said that he wanted to hold a banquet for Master. You also know that Master, I am a drunkard. As soon as I heard that there was good wine and good food, I was so greedy that I couldn't leave. On the way. I half-heartedly followed the young man to a nearby small town, and had a good drink before resting."
Speaking of this, the drunkard actually showed a bit of annoyance: "But I never thought that just this one drink would make me break a precedent."
Mu Jingyu asked in confusion: "A precedent has been broken? What does the master mean? This disciple doesn't understand."
The drunkard smiled and said: "It's not an exception. After I entered Taoism, I vowed not to accept any disciples. But at that time, I was confused by the wine, and the young man was very respectful. He actually agreed after being drunk. His request for apprenticeship.”
"Ah, Master, you actually have an apprentice." Mu Jingyu felt a little disappointed when he heard this. Originally, he thought that he was the drunkard's only apprentice. But who knew that he had already had a disciple for a while as early as forty years ago.
"No way!" The drunkard quickly waved his hands and said: "After I woke up, I felt speechless and flatly rejected the young man's request to become a disciple. But it's just that I had already agreed at that time, and it was too late to go back on it."
"What happened next?" Mu Jingyu asked immediately.
The drunkard looked at the head of the Qin family who had arrived in front of him, and said with a smile: "Later, I came up with a compromise idea. I just taught this kid some cultivation techniques and led him to the right path. As for him in the future How about that? That won’t be anything I have to worry about.”
Mu Jingyu looked at the head of the Qin family and quickly came up with the support of his entourage. After waiting for the two of them, he signaled the others to stop where they were and faced the drunkard alone.
After yawning slightly, he said in a low voice: "Disciple, I didn't know that Master suddenly appeared. I just lost etiquette. I hope Master won't blame me."
After hearing these words, Mu Jingyu hadn't yet realized that the young man the drunkard was talking about was the head of the Qin family who was over sixty years old.
It’s just that time flies by and flies by in a blink of an eye. The young man back then has now become a silver-haired old man.
The drunkard held his hands slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, and then smiled: "Since fifteen years ago, you Feige Legend asked me to rush to your Qin family to save your entire family in danger, we have never seen each other again. . Over the years, I have heard some things about your Qin family, and I know that since that incident, your Qin family has had no hardships. And your cultivation has also improved a lot. When I saw you today, it was true. "
The head of the Qin family showed gratitude and said, "Disciple, thank you Master for your concern. Master's two life-saving graces will never be forgotten by Qin Muzhi and more than a thousand members of the Qin family."
After saying that, he wanted to bow deeply and thank you, but was hurriedly stopped by the drunkard: "Hey, hey, we agreed at the beginning. I just gave you some guidance on practice, and I can't treat you like a master and a disciple. If you are like this, don't Blame me for being ruthless."
Qin Muzhi, the head of the Qin family, said: "Master... I have taught you a lesson, Mu Xia will not dare to do it again."
As Qin Muzhi said this, he led the way and led the two of them to the boulder they were sitting on just now. At this moment, the children of the Qin family have packed their goods and are waiting for Qin Muzhi to say something before setting off.
"I wonder where you are going, Your Majesty, when you suddenly appear here this time? If there is a place where my Qin family can help, but it doesn't matter, Mu Zhi will definitely lead the Qin family's sons and try their best to help."
Don't look at this Qin Muzhi, who has been saved by drunkards twice, and he even considers himself his disciple. But in the drunkard's heart, he still didn't completely trust him.
After hearing Qin Muzhi's words of inquiry, he laughed and said: "This time, Old Jiutou needs to take this little friend Mu to the west of Zhanzhou in the South China Sea. I happened to see a caravan here. , seems to be going somewhere to do business, so I am thinking of following you across Longshou Mountain. Isn’t it just that I will meet you? "
Qin Muzhi didn't explain when he saw the drunkard. After living a long time, he naturally wouldn't ask further. Immediately, he waved to a Qin family member and sent over two cloth cloaks, which he handed over to the drunkard himself.
"I think your Majesty is afraid that your identity will be exposed in the Demon Underworld Palace. The disciple has two cloth cloaks here, which are always worn by traveling merchants. As long as they are worn on the body, the spirits will not be scrutinized. "
The drunkard took the two cloaks and gave one to Mu Jingyu. He put it on and found that the size was just right. After praising Qin Mu, he said: "Then, I'll trouble you to lead the two of us into Longshou Mountain later."
Qin Muzhi replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Muzhi knows what to do. Now I still have to aggrieve you and this little friend. For the time being, follow my son of the Qin family and pretend to be a member of my Qin family." , lest the spirits guarding the mountain pass find out the clues later."
The drunkard followed his words and led Mu Jingyu in the middle of the caravan, heading towards Longshou Mountain not far away.
A mighty caravan came out of Hantan. After a short walk, we came to the official road. I saw many caravans, and just like the Qin family, the leader at the front walked at the front of the caravan, carrying a big flag with a font on his shoulder.
Mu Jingyu carefully looked at both sides of the official road, and saw a hairy-faced elf every few hundred feet, standing on both sides holding a weapon, watching the caravans coming in coldly.
Mu Jingyu couldn't help but whispered: "Master, isn't this place still outside Longshou Mountain? Logically speaking, it is still the sphere of influence of the righteous sects, so why are there so many spirits guarding it?"
Before the drunkard could speak, the muscular man who had been staying by Qin Muzhi's side took over and said, "This little brother doesn't know something. Ever since King Bei Ping actually took control of Yaoming Palace, he has been arrogant in sending more manpower at his own initiative. They took over this area. Although there were many complaints from various sects, there was no Shangjiu Sect in charge nearby. How could the remaining small sects have the strength to compete with Bei Pluto! After a long time, they all acquiesced to this matter. ”
Although this muscular man did not know the specific identities of Jiugui and Mu Jingyu. But seeing that the head of the old family treated the two of them with great courtesy, and specially sent himself as a personal bodyguard to serve them, of course he did not dare to neglect them.
The drunkard kept his head lowered, letting his face be covered by his cloak: "Jingyu, we are now in the territory of Yaowei Palace, so we should say less to avoid attracting attention."
While the three of them were talking, they had attracted the attention of a leopard-headed spirit not far away. The steel fork that was originally held tightly was pointed diagonally in the direction of the three of them.
Mu Jingyu tilted his head slightly and glanced, quickly stopped talking, imitated the drunkard's behavior, and followed the Qin family's caravan step by step to the pass of Longshou Mountain.
On the majestic Longshou Mountain, the dragon head, which is said to be the shape of a chi dragon, is majestically watching the caravans coming one after another. Beneath him was a dark cave that was five to sixty feet wide, with more than a dozen hairy-faced monsters holding weapons standing on both sides, carefully checking the caravans entering and exiting here.
When it was the turn of the Qin family caravan, Qin Muzhi still had the same trembling expression, and handed over a dark green customs clearance document with a smile.
This dark green customs clearance document was specially made by Yaoming Palace and was issued to the caravans traveling between merchants. Only by holding this customs clearance document can one walk within the sphere of influence of Yaoming Palace.
The man in white guarding the entrance of the cave took the customs clearance document and carefully looked at the contents recorded on it. He waved his hand and summoned the two little demons. According to the content recorded on the customs clearance document, he compared the loaded goods and escorting personnel. After confirming that they were correct, they both returned.
"Master Qin, the inventory of personnel and goods has been completed, and there are no omissions. I, the commander, will turn the switch on and off. I hope you will always abide by the rules of my Yaoming Palace and don't cause trouble."
The man in white, who claimed to be the commander, closed the customs clearance document with a smile and handed it back to Qin Muzhi.
"Commander Bai, please rest assured. My Qin family has been doing business in your palace's territory for more than three or two years. I still understand some of the rules."
When Qin Muzhi received the customs clearance document, he didn't know when he had already held a transparent diamond-shaped gem in his palm.
"Little Cryostone, I hope Commander Bai will accept it."
Commander Bai flipped his wrist without trace and put the cryolite into his sleeve: "Master Qin is so polite. He brings some small gifts to our brothers every time he comes. Thank you very much, Bai Ye."
After saying that, Commander Bai waved his hand and shouted for clearance, then watched the Qin family's caravan walk in through the opened Immortal Blocking Lock.
As soon as we entered the cave, bursts of cold air hit us. On both sides of the mountain wall, every seven to eight feet, there is a ghost fire green lantern hanging. The green flames were jumping continuously, but they were emitting an icy cold wind. Mu Jingyu walked by and couldn't help but shudder.
"This little friend is wearing too thin clothes. If he is illuminated by the cold lamp of this ghost fire Qingming, he will inevitably feel chilly."
After entering the cave, Qin Muzhi deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for Jiugui and Mu Jingyu to catch up, and then followed them without leaving a trace.
As soon as Qin Muzhi finished speaking, the muscular man who had been following the two of them took out a velvet mink coat at some point and casually put it on Mu Jingyu's body.
"Thank you so much, big brother." After Mu Jingyu thanked him quickly, he found that these Qin family guards had put on their cotton coats and cloaks early before entering the cave.
When the strong man took another velvet mink coat and wanted to help the drunkard put it on him, Qin Muzhi smiled and shook his hand and said: "Siyuan, you'd better put the mink coat away. Your Majesty doesn't need it." This thing."
After Qin Siyuan responded, he understood what Qin Muzhi meant. After gesturing to the people behind him, he kept a little distance from the drunkard and the other three.
The drunkard looked at the children of the Qin family in front and behind him. After putting a distance of seven to eight feet between them, he knew that Qin Muzhi must have something to ask for. He smiled lightly and asked: "Master Qin, just tell me if you have anything to do." Right. We have been in a relationship for decades, so there is no need to be polite to me."
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your Majesty's eyes." Qin Muzhi laughed awkwardly and said: "Since the disciple broke through to the peak of Qi transformation five years ago, he has been faintly feeling the power of the innate realm. The threshold. But no matter how hard I try, I can't break through this bottleneck. I happened to meet Your Majesty today, and I felt itchy for a while. I wanted to ask you for advice on this issue. I just don't know Your Majesty..."
When Qin Muzhi said this, how could a drunkard not understand what he meant? At that moment, he choked his head and said with a smile: "Do you want me to give you some advice? Seeing that you have done me a big favor, then I will help you get rid of the knot in your heart and give you some advice."
Qin Muzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this. As early as the moment I saw the drunkard, I had this idea in my mind. It’s just that I have always been afraid that the drunkard will reject me, so I dare not say it out loud.
After entering the cave, I thought that the two of them would part ways as soon as they came out of here, so I decided to ask boldly.
