Before the sky darkened completely, Lord Wu ordered Mr. Wang to go to the city gate to take care of things beforehand, and then asked Inspector Li to lead the way, leading Mu Jingyu, Bi Yun and others out of the city gate.
These are extraordinary times, and the Yun family is very strict in interrogating people entering and leaving Xieyang City. After all, Palace Master Wu has been operating here for many years and has a deep foundation. If he hadn't taken care of things in advance, it would have been difficult to leave the city after dark.
Inspector Li mostly inquired about information outside the city and was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. If he leads the way, he can avoid the patrolling disciples of the Yun family and take a shortcut to the vicinity of Pimu Diqiu.
After traveling for more than an hour, everyone finally arrived near Juyu Mountain where Pi Mu Diqiu is located. There were obviously more Yun Family and Wuji Xu disciples patrolling around.
The black cat came to the front a long time ago. After identifying the path, he led everyone to the mountain path.
After Inspector Li said goodbye to everyone, he returned to Xieyang City to resume his duties. Mu Jingyu and others were left alone to rush to Pimu Diqiu.
The black cat pointed at the mountains in front of him and said: "Miss, Shaoxia Mu, after we cross the six or seven peaks in front of us, we can reach the vicinity of Pi Mu Diqiu. It has only been a day, and we don't know where the Yun family is." People, have you discovered this mountain path?"
Mu Jingyu stood quietly, spreading the spiritual energy in Jiuyaoxuan's chain of light to all directions, and exploring the situation within several miles. After a long while, he slowly said: "Don't worry, no disciples of the Yun family have been found within four or five miles of here. Brother Black Cat should lead the way quickly and pass through these six or seven peaks."
The black cat nodded, then pulled away a bush in front of him, revealing a path that was only accessible to one person: "Miss, this road is rugged and bumpy, and few people usually walk on it. My subordinates are opening the road ahead, so you have to be slower." .”
The four of them followed the black cat, and sure enough they saw that the path was filled with deep grass and dense forests. If he hadn't been leading the way, it would have been really hard to find.
However, what reassured everyone was that even after crossing the six peaks in front, no Yun family disciples were found. Come to think of it, this trail has not been discovered yet.
After the full moon rose completely into the sky, everyone was already standing on the top of the seventh mountain. Looking down, I saw a large piece of slightly squirming leather mother, shrouded in the surrounding mountains.
Bi Yun stared at it for a moment and then said: "Jingyu, it seems that the huge leather mother below may live for more than a thousand years! Look at the densely packed large and small leather mothers around, they should all be its offspring."
When Mu Jingyu heard this, he looked down and saw the skin mound, just as Bi Yun said. A skin mother covers an area of five or six miles. The entire bulge is like a turtle shell. The top and surroundings are densely covered with skin mothers of different sizes.
Regarding the origin of this skin mother, Mu Jingyu also learned a little about it from the medical books collected by Qin Yunchuan and the ancient book Shan Hai Jing.
According to legend, Pi Mu is not born with the Ganoderma herb. According to the Book of Mountains and Seas, in ancient times, the world was in chaos, and a person named Bomu Fairy was trapped in a mountain ravine for various reasons.
Later, he was surrounded and killed by masters from various ethnic groups who came to seek revenge, and finally died in the mountains and ravines where he lived in seclusion. However, shortly after his death, a mushroom-shaped spiritual grass grew on his body.
As it grew older, not only did it not die, but it grew larger and larger, gradually covering several miles around it and filling up the entire ravine.
According to some ancient medical records handed down, because this skin mother was transformed by the true spirit of Fairy Bomu, it is a rare treasure of heaven and earth in the world. If you can find the skin mother and extract the essence of its roots to refine the elixir, you can make the flesh and bones of the dead alive. It is a rare and rare medicinal material in the world.
When later generations of cultivators read this record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, they traveled all over the Kyushu region in search of this legendary skin mother. But after hundreds of years, no one has found this legendary spiritual grass.
Unexpectedly, the Pimu mound, which had been hidden for thousands of years, would be revealed here. Not to mention the ancient spiritual stones that may be hidden in the Pi Mu mound, the Pi Mu spiritual roots alone are enough to attract disciples from various sects to come and compete for them.
However, although the Pimu Hill below covers a small area, after scanning around, no entrance for people to enter or exit was found. If you want to sneak into it, I'm afraid it will take some trouble.
What's more, after a sudden flash of inspiration in the middle of the night yesterday, the Yun family and Wuji Xu had obviously strengthened their patrol capabilities. On the mountains surrounding Pimu Diqiu, there are hundreds of figures in white, large and small. It is even more difficult to sneak in silently.
What made everyone happy was that no disciples from the Yun family and Wuji Xu were found on the hillside where they were.
Mu Jingyu said: "Brother Black Cat, you have been lurking here for several days. Is there any way to enter?"
Black Cat nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Young Master Mu. After King Tiger and I came here, we found the traces left by the two Dharma Kings in a hidden place. Following the secret passage they left, we can successfully Enter the Pimu Dimound."
"Moreover, the path I am leading happens to be not far from that passage. As long as you can pass it smoothly, you can enter without anyone noticing."
"That would be great." Bi Yun said reassuringly: "I just don't know what happened to the Tiger King in Pimu Diqiu, and whether he has found the two Dharma Kings."
"Bi Yun, it's useless to think about this now. We should go in quickly, that's the top priority." Mu Jingyu comforted Bi Yun, then followed the black cat and walked down the mountain.
The road down the mountain is more difficult than the roads to the other six peaks. Not only is the road narrow and rugged, but there are no tall trees around to block it.
Everyone wanted to follow the black cat and find the way forward. While bending down, be careful of the gravel under your feet. To avoid making any noise and attracting the attention of the Yun family disciples.
When they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, the black cat who had been leading the way suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"Brother Black Cat, is something okay?" Mu Jingyu carefully took two steps forward and stood behind Black Cat and asked.
"Mu Shaoxia, where are you looking!" Black Cat pointed not far below and said.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the black cat and saw two people wearing Yun family's unique Yun brocade robes in a bush, sitting cross-legged and practicing their own skills.
"Hiss~~~!" Mu Jingyu took a breath and said, "When we were on the top of the mountain just now, we didn't find these two Yun family disciples. When did they get here? Or should we say that the Yun family had already arrived? You discovered this trail and sent someone to guard it?"
"Then we don't know." Black Cat turned to look at Bi Yun and asked, "Miss, I see that the two Yun family disciples are less than four to five hundred feet away from the trail at the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid I'll wait a moment. When you pass by somewhere, you will be discovered by them. I wonder if Miss is planning to..."
Bi Yun frowned and first looked at the two figures in white who were meditating with their eyes closed, and then looked at the surrounding terrain.
It took a long time before he asked: "Black Cat, are there any forks in this path? Or is it possible to find a way out of these bushes and go around a little further to go down the mountain?"
"There are no other forks in this trail." The black cat turned around and looked around, and then said: "Moreover, the surrounding trees are too short to hide the figure, and the bushes are dense and lush. If you pass through, It will inevitably make more noise."
"Brother Black Cat, I think these bushes are dense, but we are all well-educated people. As long as we are careful, we can't avoid making noises? How can we know if we don't give it a try!"
Qiuniang took a few steps to the side without believing anything, and landed lightly into it. Just after walking a few steps, my dress accidentally got caught on a bush. When I pulled it gently, there was a crunching sound. In the already silent mountains and fields, the sound spread for several miles.
"Qiuniang, don't move around anymore!" Magu called out softly.
Such an extremely small sound immediately attracted the attention of the Yun family disciples who were meditating not far away. The two people suddenly stood up from the ground and headed towards this place.
Everyone hurriedly bent down, and then the bushes half a person's height hid their figures.
"Junior brother... Beast... nothing's wrong..." The rustling voice came through the breeze.
Come to think of it, the disciples of the Yun family did not find any trace of the people and thought it was just a wild beast passing by. After seeing no other movement, they both sat down again.
Qiuniang stuck out her tongue, carefully gathered her skirt, and retreated along the original path.
Mu Jingyu patted Black Cat on the shoulder, motioned for him to step aside and walked to the front.
"It seems that we have only one way to go. I will walk in front later, and you will follow behind and try not to make a sound. If they really find out, I will try my best to get rid of it as soon as possible. Solve it without attracting the attention of other Yun family disciples."
As of now, this is the only way.
Bi Yun nodded: "Jingyu, be careful in everything. If possible, try not to take action."
"Don't worry, I know the severity."
After Mu Jingyu finished speaking, he carefully pushed aside the bushes blocking the way and walked down first.
Three miles, one mile, eight hundred feet, five hundred feet...
Everyone followed behind, lifting their feet gently and lowering them slowly, for fear of making any noise if they stepped on dead branches and gravel.
Seeing that we were almost at the foot of the mountain, something happened suddenly and without warning.
"Who is there!" A loud shout suddenly sounded, causing everyone to stop in shock and not dare to take another step.
A hundred feet away in the bushes, there was a Yun family disciple standing unknown. Holding a long sword in one hand, facing the direction of everyone going down the mountain, he asked loudly.
Damn, when did this person get here? When everyone was on the mountainside, they were paying attention to the two Yun family disciples who were meditating. They didn't even notice the man next to the path!
Mu Jingyu rubbed his fingertips, and a small fairy sword came out and floated in front of him. Half squatting, his eyes were fixed on the white Yunjin robe. As long as he dares to come over, take action immediately and kill him with the sword!
"If you don't come out, I won't be polite!" The Yun family disciple looked carefully for a moment, but it was dark and the stars were thin, and everyone was hiding under the bushes, so he couldn't see too clearly.
Although I was panting and uneasy, I still moved over step by step.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The distance of dozens of feet was gradually shortening. Both sides were holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to take a breath. Just wait for the moment the opponent shows up, and use thunderous means to kill him with one blow.
Just when he moved to a distance of less than twenty or thirty feet in front of everyone, and Mu Jingyu was about to kill with his sword, a loud laughter suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
"Hahaha, are all the disciples of the Yun family as cowardly as ghosts? They discovered something strange and were so scared! It's in vain that Wuji Ruins put you with the heavy responsibility of guarding the area dozens of miles outside Pimu Diqiu. What if? The monsters from the Demon Underworld Palace suddenly attack, why don't you run away in fear?"
It's Lei Chong!
Mu Jingyu let out a breath and quietly looked back at Bi Yun. Realizing that she had also heard the voice of the person coming, she was signaling for her to put away the fairy sword and see what the situation was.
The Yun family disciple heard the sound and looked over, and saw Lei Chong with gauze wrapped around his neck, a wind and thunder stick in one hand, and looking at him with a sneer on his face.
"I said it was that sneaky Xiao Xiao, it turned out to be Lei Chong from Lei Gong Castle." The disciple of the Yun family put away his long sword and retorted, "If the monsters from Demon Underworld Palace really come, just with how miserable you are. They looked like they were cutting them one by one, just like chopping vegetables and melons, and they didn’t even have time to call for help!”
