Chapter 242
Chapter 242
Outside the imperial mausoleum.
"Xuanyu, did you really bring it out?"
Yang Mu looked at Feizhi Baishuang curiously.
Although his face is thin, with a tinge of cyan in the white, and sunken eye sockets, it looks a bit thin and thin, but it is not difficult to see that he should be a handsome young man with outstanding appearance, even among the group of zombies. It is considered handsome.
Just missing an arm.
Xuan Yu didn't answer his words, but held the Dharma plate in the palm of his hand, waved his hand, and took Bai Shuang into it.
His dharma plate has mustard seeds in a storage bag, which can store items, but it still can’t collect living things, but zombies are no longer living things, even if they don’t breathe or eat, they can survive for a long time (uh… ...theoretically they are already dead), especially zombies that have reached the level of Rime.
"Senior brother, the existence of zombies is very special. If the outside world finds out, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." Xu Chen reminded.
"It's okay, I've cast a curse on him, he will only obey my orders, and won't harm the common people."
Xuan Yu knew what his junior brother was worried about.
"It's so good!" Xu Chen nodded slightly.
Seeing that he ignored him, Yang Mu could only mutter to himself.
Bai worked a lot, went out for a walk, almost died, and lost a piece of Yun Lingguo. Although it was used to save people, it was not a loss, but the nature of his search was still unbearable. I feel that this trip to the underground palace is not worth the candle.
For some reason, Xu Chen, like a roundworm in Yang Mu's stomach, suddenly spoke at this time.
"Brother Yang, I have troubled you to run this trip with us, but I didn't get any benefits. On the contrary, my senior brother and I owe you a favor. Xu Chen thanked you!"
Yang Mu smiled sheepishly: "What kind of human feelings are not human? Do you think I am that kind of stingy person? Besides, Xuan Yu saved my life, and I just paid his life back."
Having said that, the pain in the flesh is real.
Whether it is bitterness or tears, you have to bear it with a smile.
"Hehe, brother Yang is generous and generous, and he doesn't care about me and senior brother, but we can't pretend that we didn't find anything. This is a short-lived thousand-mile talisman. I gave it to brother Yang as an interest. When I or senior brother find it in the future Treasures equal to Yun Lingguo, and then repay brother Yang's kindness."
With that said, Xu Chen took out a piece of yellow paper talisman engraved with complex patterns and handed it to him.
Yang Mu took it without hesitation. As the name suggests, it sounds like a good thing that can teleport and save your life!No matter how much he pretends, he can't make life difficult for him!
"How does this thing work?"
"Just tear it up or destroy it. This talisman can teleport three people at the same time. The distance is exactly a thousand miles. The direction can be controlled by the mind, but it cannot be changed."
When Yang Mu heard it, his eyes lit up. Although it is a direct train, it is better than that, and the distance is far enough. It really is a good treasure.
"Daoist Master Xuchen, do you still have more of this thing? If you give me a few more, then the compensation or something will be offset!"
Xu Chen smiled and said: "Brother Yang, just call me Xu Chen, Daoist or something, I just became a monk not long ago, at most I can be considered a little Daoist, not a Daoist.
As for the instant thousand-mile talisman, I really don't have any here, only this one, I'm really sorry! "
"That's it!"
Yang Mu felt very sorry, but he didn't greedily ask for other treasures from the other party.
Xuan Yu stood aside with his hands behind his back, remained silent, and returned to his previous haughty appearance.
"This delay, the outside world is already in a hurry. Brother Yang, I will wait for this farewell. I will only have a good time with you when I meet you someday."
Xu Chen looked up at Xu Yang Chusheng, and then bid farewell to Yang Mu.
Yang Mu didn't pay attention, seeing the sun in the sky was still the same, he thought it hadn't been long, but he didn't expect it to be a day.
"Oops, I haven't been back for so long, I'm afraid Ah Kuan is looking for me like crazy, I'm sorry you two, I have to go first!"
Yang Mu hurriedly ran in the direction of Nantian City, and after running a few steps, he turned around again.
Xu Chen was still standing there, but Xuan Yu was nowhere to be seen.
He quickly asked, "Can Taoist priests drink too?"
Xu Chen waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is joy in wine, so it's fun to meet each other!"
After all, his figure gradually became unreal and disappeared in place.
"These Taoist priests are really haunted!"
The corner of Yang Mu's mouth smiled slightly, and then he ran wildly, the target, Nantian City.
……
Yang Mu, who ran wildly for nearly two hours, finally returned to Nantian City.
At the gate of the city, Wei Qing recognized Yang Mu as soon as he saw him, and hurried forward to meet him.
"Young Master Yang, Young Master Liang and Ms. Liang have ordered me to wait here for a long time!"
Yang Mu smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid they should wait anxiously, please Brother Wei take me to see them quickly."
When Wei Qing heard this, he immediately gave him a strange expression.
Anxious... It seems that I didn't see anyone among the group of people who came back with Young Master Liang and Miss Liang who came out to find each other.
But it was impossible for him to say this in front of Yang Mu.
He took Yang Mu back to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry, and then came to the small courtyard where several people lived.
In the courtyard, Guo Jing was sitting beside the stone table with his face full of sweat, apparently just finished his exercises, while Huang Rong thoughtfully wiped his sweat and poured tea for him. There were also different styles of desserts on the stone table. She prepared it for Guo Jing.
And not far from the two of them, beside the lotus pond, Liang Kuanzheng and Xia Ziyuan were moving a stool, fishing leisurely there, feeling indescribably relaxed and comfortable.
Wait, isn't this your own artificial lake? Why are you still fishing? It's fine for Liang Kuan to do this. Why are you Xia Ziyuan messing around with me? Aren't you two rivals?
Yang Mu stood alone outside the door, and gave himself a cool song.
Coincidentally at this time, the bedroom door was opened, and Liu Qingge walked out slowly.
"It's great, and Liu Qing, you good brother, finally paced back and forth in the room, and you didn't see me, brother, so you can't wait to come out and look for it!"
Yang Mu was deeply moved.
Then Liu Qingge who came out of the room did not go out of the courtyard, but went straight into another room, and then moved out a lot of books from it, and returned to his room.
Yang Mu: ...
Co-author No one cares I disappeared for two days?
The clown turned out to be me.
Uh... No, there is also Wei Qing, Big Brother Wei really cares about whether I come back or not, even if he is ordered by Fatty Liang and Yue'er, he still has expectations of himself after all.
"Brother Wei, I didn't expect you to be the only... eh? Brother Wei, Brother Wei, where are you?"
When Yang Mu turned his head, he realized that even Wei Qing hadn't known when he was gone, and his heart was completely chilled.
"Brother Yang, you're back!"
At this moment, Yang Mu's heart was illuminated by the last hope.
Nan Gongyue happily came to his side, and asked with concern: "Brother Yang, where have you been these two days, we couldn't find you no matter how hard we searched."
Please remove them, let me give up!
Yang Mu said sadly, "I'm looking for my conscience!"
conscience?
Nangong Yue looked at him with a puzzled expression.
……
Finally, under the strong request of Yang Mu's unyielding will, everyone had no choice but to organize a so-called welcome party for him. With the chef Huang Rong present, it was natural that there would be a tongue-in-cheek temptation.
This also made the people who were forced from the beginning become really enthusiastic.
How can this situation be described by a sentence of true fragrance.
While toasting and drinking, Yang Mu also knew what they had gained after he left.
Guo Jing was the first to bear the brunt of it. Although his talent was not to be admired, he had no distractions and a sincere heart, which is the so-called great wisdom and stupidity. The more complicated and incomprehensible things were, for him, they would be inexplicably simplified.
According to what he said, he didn't seem to have any special insights, but he could clearly feel that his strength had improved, and he felt more and more freely in the palm of his hand.
This is also the reason why he practiced palm technique hard today, he wanted to absorb the gains brought by this enlightenment as soon as possible.
As for the others, Liang Kuan had already reached Tongxuan Jiuchong, so he should have the deepest understanding, but he hasn't gained anything for a long time, so he can only take one step at a time.
And Xia Ziyuan seemed to have an eyebrow, but it was not safe, so he didn't take Yun Lingguo rashly to try to break through.
In the end was Liu Qingge, who had the lowest cultivation level. He didn't deliberately try to comprehend it, but directly swallowed the Yun Lingguo, directly raising his cultivation level to the seventh level of Tongxuan, spanning three small realms.
It can only be said that it is expected, after all, after suppressing the realm for so long, the accumulated accumulation, coupled with the effect of the Yunling fruit, makes people feel that the improvement is a little bit less.
However, the effect of Yunling Fruit is more to strengthen Liu Qingge's realm, so it is already the limit to be able to upgrade to the seventh level of Tongxuan.
After all, his starting point is too high, and given this opportunity, it is impossible to drive higher and lower.
After hearing the gains of several people, Yang Mu felt heartbroken. I was the only one who was blind for two days, so I still lost more than I lost?
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, if you think about it too much, you will cry.
But after drinking and eating, Nan Gongyue brought a piece of news to them.
"Now the news about the secret realm of Mingyuexia Fairy Palace has been disseminated by interested people, all forces are trying their best to rush to Qinzhou, and there are many forces from other countries, just like the Chang family we met last time, they are Beiming A second-rate family in the country, in which there are strong men at the peak of the Xuanhai realm.
However, there will only be more forces like the Chang family. I estimate that even many first-class forces will not let go of this opportunity. It may be difficult for us to get more benefits in the fairy palace. "
Nan Gongyue's words immediately cooled down the atmosphere of the party, and she looked at everyone apologetically.
After a long silence.
Huang Rong took the lead and said: "If it's the forces within Zhou Wu, it's okay to say, after all, they will be a little jealous and won't attack us in a targeted manner, but if it's the forces in the Three Kingdoms of the North... I'm afraid it's a one-shot deal. If you are afraid of some outsiders, you won't talk about morality with us at all."
Huang Rong's words hit the nail on the head.
If it was a power in the Zhou Wu Dynasty, no matter what, they would be afraid of Nan Gongyue and the prestige of Huangcheng Academy who were with them, and they would not dare to do anything to them. Even Yang Mu and others, disciples of Nanru Academy, would dare to offend them. Afterwards, Qu Li can also let Qu Li lead them back to the venue one by one.
But the forces outside the Zhou Wu Dynasty will not be like them. They can only be said to be unscrupulous. Anyway, in other people's lairs, they can do whatever they want, and this time they can do whatever they want. After returning home, no one dared to do anything to them.
Although Zhou Wu was strong, he would not take the risk of offending the other three countries at the same time, let alone just to give his own forces a head start.
Facing the royal family of Zhou Wu, the other party would only be jealous, but not afraid, while facing people without status like them, the other party would neither be afraid nor afraid.
Unless the imperial court sends a strong man to sit in town.
But if this is the case, for all the forces, Zhou Wu's royal family will become a monopoly, with him, no one can get the big head, which is what no one wants.
People are greedy. They don't want other countries' forces to make mistakes and snatch opportunities, but at the same time they don't want their own family to monopolize the big ones. They always only have their own interests in mind.
So in the face of this situation, even the imperial court would not really send a strong man here to sit here, because Zhou Wu is not the only one who has strong men.
No one wants to turn Qinzhou into a battlefield for the four countries to confront each other.
None of the people present were fools, and they immediately understood the ambiguity in Huang Rong's words.
"Then what should we do?" Guo Jing asked.
He knew that everyone present was much smarter than himself, and if he couldn't do anything, they would definitely find a way.
Yang Mu didn't seem to hear Guo Jing's words, but looked at Huang Rong in a daze.
"You mean...backer?"
It can be said that they did not have a strong background to rely on on this trip. Even Nangong Yue only had the name of the Imperial City Academy. There were so many students from the academy who came here this time. .
Has a strong man like Lin Jilian already reached the point where he is famous all over the world?
Obviously not, so even if her name is reported, no one will know it, and it will not have a deterrent effect at all.
As for Yang Mu and the others, it was even worse. Southern Confucian Academy, not to mention other countries, even Zhou Wu, not many people have really heard of it. It’s like the famous universities in the previous life. There are real materials, no one has heard of them, and the popularity is not high, so no one will ignore you.
Even Cheng Ying and Wu Anjun who came along with this trip, to be honest, it wasn't Yang Mu and the others who were self-deprecating, their strength must not be as strong as Lin Jilian's, and it is estimated that they will be able to play a very limited role at that time.
When it comes to the other party coming to Zhou Wu territory, who is the most afraid to provoke, needless to say, it must be a member of the royal family!
As for the reason, it is naturally because of relying on the entire Zhou Wu Dynasty. Could it be possible that outsiders can bully him in his own home?
So upon hearing Huang Rong's words, Yang Mu didn't think about the crisis immediately, but was thinking about the solution.
He had been worried about this matter since they met the Chang family members, but now that Nan Gongyue confirmed it, he was not surprised at all.
For the present plan, they can only find a backer who is enough to support them to travel fearlessly in the secret realm of the Immortal Palace.
As for who this backer is, everyone already has a candidate in their hearts, but no one is suitable to be the first to say it.
Huang Rong glanced at Yang Mu appreciatively. These two words coincided with her initial thoughts, but the question was not who the backer was, but how this backer could become their backer. top priority.
Liu Qingge had already heard the general meaning from the words of the two, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Liang Kuan also frowned, he didn't want to overspend the friendship between himself and Lin Jilian.
Faced with this matter, Nan Gongyue was really inconvenient to speak, as her mother was on one side, and her friends and partners were on the other side.
Seeing that everyone looked a little serious, Huang Rong laughed.
"Actually, it's not that troublesome. What the world pursues is just the word 'profit'. Of course, an expert like Senior Lin will definitely not care about these small profits, but as long as we are willing to give up more, she seems to have no reason." reject."
Huang Rong's words made Yang Mu's eyes shine.
As long as this is the case, it seems to be the best choice to separate all choices from friendship and family, and only talk about cooperation of interests.
Liang Kuan praised without hesitation: "Senior Sister Huang is ice-snow smart, she holds the wisdom pearl in her hands, and my junior brother is so impressed!"
Guo Jing clapped his hands again and again: "Rong'er, you are so smart!"
"That's it!" Huang Rong didn't respond to Liang Kuan's flattery, but she was genuinely happy and satisfied with Guo Jing's praise.
Yang Mu and Liu Qingge looked at each other and smiled, as if they agreed.
Xia Ziyuan has always had little right to speak in the team. It's not that the others are ostracizing him, but that he himself doesn't want to talk to others.
"Brother Chicken, I have a knife that can protect you well."
Ji Wuba looked at him and said deeply: "Brother Xia, I can rest assured that you are here!"
Seeing this, Nangongyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that a decision has been made, everyone plans to visit Lin Jilian tomorrow, and it is already late at night today.
The next day.
Everyone came to visit Lin Jilian's courtyard together.
Donghua reported outside Lin Jilian's house.
Today, Nangong Yunliu and Liang Gao left the City Lord's Mansion early because they had something to deal with.
"Let them in!"
Lin Jilian didn't shy away from it, and directly met several people in the empty courtyard.
You must know that the relationship between Huangcheng College and Nanru College has become more and more tense, and sooner or later they will become enemies of each other.
"Meet Senior Lin!"
Since Yang Mu and the others wanted something from each other, they naturally lowered their posture as much as possible.
Looking at the daughter and nephew among the crowd, Lin Jilian just took a sip of tea and didn't say anything.
"If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, what's the matter?"
Originally, she still had some thoughts on dealing with this group of juniors from the Southern Confucian Academy, but after seeing these two people, she immediately lost interest.
In her opinion, it must be that Yang Mu and the others had something to ask for, and they specially recruited two people to be lobbyists. This kind of behavior made her very disgusted, just like before.
Huang Rong seemed born to be at odds with the Nangong family, especially Lin Jilian, so after handing everything over to Yang Mu, she asked him to come forward to talk.
"Senior Lin, the situation in Qinzhou has changed recently, and various forces have gathered. We have limited strength, and we know that it is difficult to gain anything in this secret realm, so we want to cooperate with senior. I don't know if senior can agree. Of course, if senior has Whatever request we can do, we must grant it."
Lin Jilian is so intelligent, she can see the thoughts of several people at a glance, and she can't help but sneer.
"I agreed!"
But just when a few people thought she wanted the lion to open his mouth, or even directly refused, she agreed.
