"Mu Daocheng, Senior Mu?" Mu Jingyu couldn't believe that he had really lured Mu Daocheng out.
The figure who called himself Mu Daocheng laughed in a deep voice when he heard this: "Since the old Taoist priest Taier sent a message more than a month ago, saying that you want to come to my sword-making valley and ask me to help you cast the medicine cauldron, I It’s been a long time coming.”
Mu Jingyu, who was still doubtful about the true identity of the figure, immediately cleared up his doubts after hearing him clearly explain his purpose of coming.
He quickly came to Mu Daocheng's side, bowed and saluted, "Jingyu is so tired that Senior Mu has been waiting for so long, and he feels extremely guilty."
Mu Daocheng smiled kindly and said: "What did Mu Xiaoyou say? Brother Situ was very kind to me. Now that he has died unexpectedly, as his only disciple, since you have something to ask for, how can I, Mu Daocheng, not do my best?" That’s why I want to help.”
After all, the fact that he was able to get the full help from Master Taier, Jin Buhuan, Nangong Jianxian, Mu Daocheng and others was inseparable from the kindness his mentor had shown them before.
Thinking of this, Mu Jingyu felt a warmth surge in his heart. He bowed again and said: "Jingyu... take Master to thank Senior Mu."
After Mu Daocheng waved his hand, he looked at Mu Jingyu's side, narrowed his eyes and said, "Huh? I heard Tai Er said that there are several juniors from Jiuhua Mountain traveling with you, how come this... only Are you alone?"
"Oh, you are always talking about Brother Qin and Senior Sister Zhou." Mu Jingyu quickly told how they were plotted by the spies arranged by the men in black robes in the Tiannan Mountains, how the great wizard Mengtuo, Yaomingdian and others were plotted. He recounted how he was surrounded and killed so hard that Yu Yuanxiu was seriously injured.
After Mu Daocheng listened carefully, he didn't say much. Instead, he asked, "So, Qin Yunchuan, the most outstanding disciple of Jiuhua Mountain since the founding of the sect, is still here with you?"
"Huh?" Mu Jingyu exclaimed, muttering secretly in his heart: "Hiss... strange! Why does Senior Mu want to ask Brother Qin when others don't care?"
Doubts are doubts, but now he still has Mu Daocheng to ask for. Mu Jingyu still said honestly: "Brother Qin and the others are nearby. I will call them over now."
Mu Jingyu said, and suddenly gathered his true energy quickly. Shen Mengdie, who was next to him, immediately understood what Mu Jingyu meant, and slowly gathered his own energy, guiding Qin Yunchuan and Zhou Yan to his side.
Thinking that Mu Jingyu suddenly withdrew his energy, he either found out Mu Daocheng's whereabouts or encountered some danger. The three of them did not dare to waste time and rushed to where Mu Jingyu was.
When he was flying close, he saw him talking to an old man from a distance, and he immediately understood that he must have found Mu Daocheng.
"Jingyu, this is Senior Mu Daochengmu, right?" Qin Yunchuan asked immediately as soon as he landed.
"Yes!" Mu Jingyu nodded, pointed at Qin Yunchuan and others and said, "Senior Mu, this is Brother Qin Yunchuan, and these two are Senior Sister Zhou Yanzhou and Sister Xiaodie."
Although Mu Jingyu briefly introduced the three of them, Mu Daocheng's eyes were all focused on Qin Yunchuan, without even looking at Zhou Yan and Shen Mengdie.
"Hahaha, it turns out that you are the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation in Jiuhua Mountain for thousands of years. Hmm~~~ Not bad, not bad! He is indeed a young hero!"
Listening to Mu Daocheng's obviously flattering tone, Qin Yunchuan not only didn't feel proud, but also felt a little strange. While speculating on Mu Daocheng's deep meaning, he said humbly: "Senior Mu Miao praised me, this junior is still somewhat self-aware. This is the most outstanding disciple of Mount Jiuhua in the past thousand years, and I will never be ashamed of it."
"Good! Good! Good!" After Mu Daocheng said three good words in a row, he praised: "Not arrogant, not impetuous, and has a stable mind! Master Tianyang has found a treasure."
Mu Jingyu saw Mu Daocheng praising Qin Yunchuan endlessly, and he felt closer to him than when he met his direct disciple. Like Qin Yunchuan, he was a little confused.
"Senior Mu, you see we are still staying in the mountains. Why don't we... go to your old sword-making valley first, and then talk in detail?"
"Oh? Hahaha... Judging from my appearance, I lost my temper when I saw Mu Xiaoyou and Qin Xiaoyou." Mu Daocheng said quickly: "Then I will lead the way right now. Come with me."
Taking advantage of Mu Daocheng's current leadership, Qin Yunchuan leaned against Mu Jingyu and asked in a low voice: "Jingyu, you met Senior Mu before us. Do you know why he is so enthusiastic about me suddenly?" The reason?"
Along the way, Mu Jingyu was also thinking about the reason. After listening to Qin Yunchuan's inquiry, he shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, I don't know this either! It's just... when I first met Senior Mu, he seemed to care about whether you were here."
"Tell me, Mu Daocheng, does he have something to ask of Yunchuan?" Zhou Yan couldn't help but guess after hearing what the two said.
Shen Mengdie smiled unconsciously and said: "Sister Zhou, Senior Mu has been famous for many years. Not to mention that his own cultivation has reached the peak of Kaitian. His method of forging immortal treasures alone is unparalleled in all nine states in the world! He If something really happened, all the major sects, countless casual cultivators, and even the people from the Yaoning Palace would rush over to help him, so why bother asking for help from Brother Qin?"
Mu Jingyu looked at Mu Daocheng's back and said, "Don't think so much now. We will naturally find out when we return to the Sword Forging Valley with him."
"Jingyu is right." Zhou Yan nodded and said, "If he really wants something from Yunchuan, wouldn't it be a good reason to ask him to help us refine the medicinal cauldron?"
In fact, Zhou Yan had heard some legends about Mu Daocheng in Jiuhua Mountain. Knowing this person's eccentric personality, whenever someone asked him to create a magic weapon, he would always make things difficult for him. Even if Mu Jingyu is a disciple of an alcoholic, he may not be able to successfully seek his help.
"Okay, let's take it one step at a time." Qin Yunchuan simply stopped thinking about Mu Daocheng's thoughts. After patting Mu Jingyu, he sped up and followed Mu Daocheng.
The further we flew deeper into Yuping Mountain, the hotter the surrounding temperature became. Even though it was winter now, the four of them felt a bit unbearably hot.
After passing forty or fifty mountains, Mu Daocheng pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said with a smile: "Little friends, have you seen the valley in front of you? That's where I am in the sword-making valley. Wait for you guys But follow me closely and don’t lose your way.”
Mu Jingyu nodded and responded: "Junior knows, please feel free to lead the way, Senior Mu."
By the time we got here, the hot feeling was getting stronger and stronger. After following Mu Daocheng and entering the valley, the four of them felt like they were in midsummer, with beads of sweat pouring out from their backs.
Mu Daocheng knew the current situation of the four people without turning around to check. While speeding, he explained to the four of them: "The reason why I placed the Sword Forging Valley here is precisely because there is an innate fire hidden deep under the Yuping Mountain. So, it is reasonable for you to feel that the heat is unbearable. Got it."
The four of them nodded, and a hot feeling swept through their bodies. How could they still have the energy to chat with Mu Daocheng? I just want to reach the Sword Forging Valley as soon as possible so that I can temporarily relieve my restless mood.
After flying along the valley for several miles, several square huts appeared in front of us. It's just that this house, which is obviously made of wood, is not like other wooden houses. Instead, it was carved entirely from a tree trunk that could not be hugged by dozens of people.
Mu Daocheng fell into the valley, pointed to the wooden houses in front and said, "The Sword Forging Valley is just ahead. Can you guys feel that the hot feeling has subsided?"
The four people who were still looking at the wooden house were shocked when they heard Mu Daocheng mention this. The hot feeling had disappeared. Instead, waves of coolness swept through his body.
Obviously, there is another genius treasure in this valley, which exudes waves of coldness and resists the previous scorching heat.
"Sure enough, it is much cooler." Mu Jingyu asked in surprise: "I dare to ask, why is the valley of my senior different from the rest of the Yuping Mountains?"
Mu Daocheng explained: "In this world, there are not only the three rootless waters, but also the soulless fire. And under the Sword Casting Valley in Yuping Mountain, there is an innate furnace fire, which makes it so hot and unbearable."
"Of course, although I have a high level of cultivation, I don't want to suffer this hot feeling. So, since I decided to live in seclusion here, I found a way to get a piece of dew water and placed it in the valley to resist Innately roasted by the fire."
Regarding the magic of rootless water, Mu Jingyu once knew a thing or two when he went to Wuji Ruins when he was a child. Besides, there was one hidden in the gourd of wine left by the drunkard.
"I see." Mu Jingyu nodded and said, "Senior Mu has worked hard to find the blessed land for making swords."
While they were talking, the four of them followed Mu Daocheng and walked to the largest wooden house in the valley.
After entering the room, Mu Jingyu found that the furnishings in the room were basically the same as those in ordinary mountain homes. They are all simple seats and benches, as well as quite quaint utensils. I think this house is where Mu Daocheng lives.
"My friends, you can sit down wherever you want. It's just like you're at your own home. Don't be polite." Mu Daocheng said and poured a cup of tea for the four of them.
"I don't have any delicious tea in this lonely place, so you'll just have to make do with it. I hope you'll forgive me if I'm negligent."
Qin Yunchuan hurriedly took the tea cup and said: "Senior Mu, you are so polite. I would be very grateful to you for your help. How dare you expect anything else."
Now that Qin Yunchuan had said this, Mu Jingyu took the opportunity to ask Mu Daocheng to help him refine the medicine cauldron.
"Senior, you must also know that Bi Yun has been in a coma for almost two months now. I don't dare to waste too much time. I hope that my senior can..."
Before Mu Jingyu could finish his words, Mu Daocheng pressed his palm slightly and interrupted his voice.
"Actually... you must have noticed it. I personally came to greet you outside the valley. There are actually some things that I need your help with."
Mu Daocheng really has something going on and needs our help! The four of them looked at each other, all looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
Qin Yunchuan was still calm and said: "Senior is joking. You are a world-famous senior in Jiuzhou. What can happen that requires help from this junior?"
Mu Daocheng smiled bitterly and said: "Hey... I, Mu Daocheng, claim to have a forging technique that is unparalleled in the world. But even with a high level of cultivation, there are places where I am helpless."
Mu Jingyu asked: "I wonder if senior...have you encountered any difficulties?"
Mu Daocheng turned around, looked at Mu Jingyu and asked, "Little friend Mu, I wonder if you are an alcoholic, but have you heard some of my past stories?"
"Some past events about your old age?" Mu Jingyu was startled when he heard this, and immediately remembered that Drunkard once told him about some past events of the four heavenly masters, and how Drunkard and the Medical Immortal helped them escape. Dangerous situation.
After thinking about the drunkard's words in his mind, Mu Jingyu suddenly had an idea in his mind and suddenly said: "Senior, do you dare to ask, are the past events you always talk about related to your wife, the nine-tailed fox?"
But as soon as the words came out, Mu Jingyu shook his head and said: "No, no! Master once told me that your wife has been missing for a long time, and it is definitely not because of her. But other than this matter, What do you have to do and need help from this junior?"
Mu Daocheng looked gloomy and sighed: "Actually... I have long since found my wife, the nine-tailed fairy fox, with the help of the medical fairy."
Mu Jingyu was stunned when he heard this and said in disbelief: "It's impossible. Master is sure that your wife's whereabouts are unknown. That's absolutely true. How could it be possible...how could it be..."
Mu Daocheng closed his eyes and recounted some of the past events in detail for Mu Jingyu and others.
