Wonderland

Chapter 916
corpse mountain

Located in the eastern part of Youzhou, covering hundreds of miles, it is shrouded in a layer of miasma all the year round. This miasma turns into a cloud of white mist, covering almost half of the mountain of corpses. Ordinary mortals only need to inhale this miasma. In an instant, pus would flow all over his body, turn into gore and die, leaving only a pile of white bones in the end.

And dozens of miles away from Jishi Mountain, there is a small city with a population of more than 20, named Treasure Bone City.

The reason for such a strange name is because every year on the seventh day of July, many immortal cultivators go to Jishi Mountain to look for miasma bones. This miasma bone is the main material for refining the basic magic weapon, the white bone knife. .

The white bone knife refined from it is not only extremely sharp, but also hollowed out into seven star holes. Once sacrificed, it will make a soul-stirring sound, disturbing people's minds, and can also emit miasma. Just a little inhalation is enough Immortal cultivators in the Golden Core stage can't resist it, and if they don't get treatment in time, they will perish on the spot.

But if you want to enter this mountain of corpses, there is only one passage, which is Yougu Gorge, and only on the seventh day of the seventh month of every year, the miasma in Yougu Gorge will dissipate for a month, and you can enter the accumulated corpses in this month. Mountain of corpses, looking for miasma bones.

And if you want to enter Yougu Gorge, you must go to Mu's house in Baogu City to obtain a poison-proof order. Although the miasma in Yougu Gorge will dissipate on the seventh day of the seventh month, there will still be a little residual, and once you enter the accumulated The mountain of corpses will also face the remaining miasma attack at any time. If there is no anti-poison order, it is basically close to death.

The Mu family is a family of immortal cultivators. It has been rooted in Treasure Bone City for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of development, the family can be described as flourishing. There are only three immortal cultivators in the Golden Core Stage. The elder Mu Wuqing and the third elder Mu Rueqing.

These three are also known as the three elders of the Mu family who have broken their love. As for the other monks of the foundation building period and the monks of the qi refining period, there are as many as hundreds of them.

The seventh day of the seventh month is the day when the Mu family worships their ancestors.

The Mu family is very lively at the moment. No matter where they are, all the Mu family's children will basically return to the family on this day to worship their ancestors. It is also a day to meet the three Jindan ancestors of the Mu family.

However, dozens of people gathered in the Mu family's living room at this time, and nine out of ten of these people are monks at the foundation stage, even the weakest ones have eight or nine levels of Qi refining.

"Mr. Mu San, today is exactly the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. It's already noon now. Why did you refuse to issue the anti-poison order? We have already handed in the 1000 yuan for the token of the anti-poison order three months ago. Low-grade Lingshi, does the Tangtang Mu family also want to renege on their debts?" A middle-aged man wearing a white rough linen gown with a pale face said angrily.

"That's right, do you have to give us an explanation for the three evil spirits today?"

"Don't try to rely on the support of the three elders of the Mu family. My Baigumen is not easy to mess with. The Mu family must give an explanation today?" It is known that these three are brothers.

That young master Mu San was handsome, with good facial features, and the only flaw was his pair of peach blossom eyes, which flickered with a gloomy light from time to time.

He looked at the boss of the Three Bone Heroes, and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, Boss Bone. Although today is the seventh day of the seventh month, it was indeed the day to enter the corpse mountain to find miasma bones. Everyone also paid the spirit stones according to the rules. Originally, we The Mu family should also open the Yougu Gorge and let everyone in, but unfortunately, an enemy of our Mu family entered the corpse mountain, and this person is vicious and brutal, he will kill anyone he sees, if you go in rashly and encounter an accident, Could it be my Mu family's fault?"

Mr. Mu San gently shook the white bone fan in his hand, and said calmly.

"I'm afraid this is an excuse to prevent us from entering the corpse mountain, isn't it? Many of the comrades who entered the corpse mountain in the past were killed by miasma, but I haven't seen your Mu family compensate you. Today's hypocrisy, I'm afraid it has other plans Right?" A middle-aged man in his forties, carrying a golden axe, said beside him.

"It turned out to be Lu Jiugang, a woodcutter from Nanshan. I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu had hit the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation establishment three years ago, and he accidentally went into a maddened state. How can my Mu family despise my Mu family too much, how could my Mu family deceive you all for a mere thousand spirit stones, the three ancestors are discussing this matter, please wait a moment."

"Mr. Mu, since an enemy of the Mu family fled into the corpse mountain, then we just entered the mountain together and beheaded him. This can be regarded as helping the Mu family get rid of a future trouble. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Yeah, I'm waiting for so many people, and beheading just one person is not a difficult task, just treat it as a gift for the Mu family when I wait for the treasure hunt."

"Young Master Mu, why don't you go into the corpse mountain with me and kill that man, so that Young Master Mu can be regarded as a great contribution to the family."

Hearing this, Mr. Mu hurriedly cupped his hands and smiled, "Everyone is kind, I appreciate it, but this enemy is extraordinary, even if I personally strike, it is definitely not his opponent."

"Oh, even Mr. Mu in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment is helpless. Could it be that he is not a Foundation Establishment cultivator but a Jindan Patriarch?"

"Golden core patriarch?"

Hearing the words Jindan Patriarch, the whole hall fell silent, and even the Nanshan woodcutter and the three heroes of the bones kept their mouths shut obediently.

Seeing this, Mu Gongzi couldn't help but sneered, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

In the secret room in the backyard of Mu's house, under the dim candlelight, three old men were sitting cross-legged. Among them, the leader had white hair, but his face was as ruddy as a three-year-old baby's.

He is Mu Wangqing, the patriarch of the Mu family.

"Brother, now that the Seven Star Pendant is assembled, is it time to open that secret?" An old man with a scar on his forehead said excitedly.

"Hey, I didn't expect that Wei Chongyue had been hiding under our noses for more than 20 years. He was injured by the bone hammer of the elder brother and fled into the corpse mountain. I have already ordered Mu Wuyue to take people into the corpse mountain. , looking for Wei Chongyue's whereabouts, to see people in life, and to see corpses in death."

"Second brother's trick is really insidious. Wei Chongyue fled in embarrassment 20 years ago, leaving behind Mu Wuyue who had not yet reached the full moon. Originally, the third brother wanted to kill the grass, but was stopped by the second brother and brought him back to the family. Nurturing, let him kill Wei Chongyue now, if Wei Chongyue knows the identity of Mu Wuyue, what expression will Wei Chongyue have?"

"Once Mu Wuyue kills Wei Chongyue, it will be useless and must be killed in the corpse mountain." Mu Wangqing glanced at the two of them and said calmly.

"This is natural, but Wei Chongyue is a Golden Core cultivator after all. Although it is only at the early stage of Golden Core, it is not easy for Mu Wuyue, who has established a great foundation, to kill him. Now we have assembled the Seven Star Pendant. For the Seven Stars Zhui, we have planned for hundreds of years to kill the Wei family from the first family in Baogu City to now, only Wei Chongyue and Mu Wuyue are left. As long as we can kill them again and open the secret treasure , our Mu family will definitely prosper, and maybe we can occupy a medium-sized city and become a big family. "

"What the second brother said is true, then Wei Chongyue will not be willing to let us get the secret treasure, maybe he will go to the place where the secret treasure is located to prevent us from taking the treasure, just take the opportunity to kill him and avoid the disaster." Mu Wangqing pondered. After a while, he spoke.

"Brother, how do we deal with those people outside? If we let them enter the mountain, will it ruin our good deeds?"

"Probably not. The address of that secret store is in the Bone Cave deep in the corpse mountain. The Bone Cave is full of miasma all year round. Even if they are protected by the poison protection order, they can't enter it. Only the three of us Only the poison-repelling beads on his body can dispel the miasma in the Bone Cave."

After a pause, Mu Wangqing said: "Just in case, third brother, tell San'er to let them in after an hour after we enter the mountain, so that we can catch up with the time difference and enter the Bone Cave in advance."

After Mu Wangqing finished speaking, he stood up slowly. After Mu Jueqing explained through the technique of sound transmission, the three of them came to the backyard, drove a huge ray of light one after another, shot towards the distance, and quickly disappeared in the Among the mountains in the distance.

In the corpse mountain, although every seventh day of the seventh month, the miasma on the ground will dissipate for a month, but it does not disappear, but during this period, the miasma will rise by hundreds of feet, so the entire corpse The mountains are shrouded in darkness, revealing a chill.

A young man in his twenties, with two entourages, was flying quickly close to the treetops. Every step he took, he directly crossed a distance of several tens of feet. Consciousness, kept scanning the range of hundreds of feet around.

"Eldest son, are we really going to find that devil? There are already dozens of clansmen who have died at his hands. I think we should take a look. When the three ancestors come, we will search carefully." .”

"That's right, Eldest Young Master, after all, the devil is the Patriarch of Jindan, and the three of us together are not enough for him to slash with a single sword."

"What do you two know? That person has been seriously injured by the ancestor, and he can't use much of his combat power. With the help of my eldest son, my Bone Soul Destroyer Sword, I can definitely kill him. In this way, it can be regarded as a substitute." The family has made great contributions, you all cheer me up, be smart, and prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry and perishing with us."

Hearing this, the two attendants couldn't help but looked at each other behind the young man, they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

If the ancestors of Jindan wanted to die with them and other foundation-building monks, it seemed that they would not be able to escape, right?But I can't disobey the eldest son's order, otherwise, according to the family law, I will abolish my cultivation and refine my soul.

Thinking of the Mu family's family law, the two of them could not help but shudder, but they could only bite the bullet and follow behind the young man.

Not long after the three of them left, they coughed slightly in the nearby woods. The coughing person was an old man in his fifties with gray hair and regular facial features. The dark blood stains had already dried up for a long time.

The old man stared at the direction where the three of them were leaving, with two gleams of coldness in his eyes. A light blue flying sword was inserted obliquely beside him, as if sensing the old man's anger, he was trembling slightly.

The old man finally calmed down his anger, sighed softly, and muttered to himself: "My Wei family has guarded the treasure of bones for thousands of years. Is it going to be buried in the hands of the old man today? Ancestors, Chongyue has a heavy trust, and I have no face to see you."

Two lines of old tears flowed down from the old man's cheeks, and slowly dripped onto the ground.

The blurred eyes of the old man seemed to see the glory of the Wei family in the past. The Wei family was also a cultivating family just like the Mu family today. In the Daqian Dynasty, there were countless such cultivating families. Controlled by the Xiuxian family.

The Daqian Dynasty has a vast and boundless territory, and there are countless cities, large and small. These immortal families control the cultivation resources in the areas around these cities. Of course, they have to pay a certain amount of tax to the Daqian Dynasty every year. The Dagan Dynasty also allowed these families to develop on their own.

As long as they don't collude with the Buddhist kingdom and don't harm ordinary mortals, the Daqian Dynasty doesn't care about fighting and killing among their cultivating families to compete for resources and territories.

In fact, these cultivating families will also work hard to train their children to worship the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong. Once the members of the family have a certain status in the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, the family power will inevitably rise. It can be said that it is a matter of glory.

This also made most of the Xiuxian families more or less related to the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, which further stabilized the rule of the Daqian Dynasty, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

The Wei family was originally the largest cultivating family in Treasure Bone City, but a hundred years ago, the head of the Wei family passed away, and there were only two elders of Jindan left. The clan dispatched and entered the Wei family.

The Wei family was almost slaughtered overnight, only the third elder, Wei Chongyue, escaped to heaven with a few direct descendants, and has lived a life of fugitive and homeless ever since.

Originally, Wei Chongyue could leave Baogu City with a few clansmen. The Daqian Dynasty had a boundless territory, and it was possible to find a place that the Mu family could not find and multiply. However, the Wei family has a mission, which is to protect Secret of bones.

According to legend, the reason why the ancestors of the Wei family settled in Treasure Bone City was to guard the secret treasure of bones in the corpse mountain, and to open the secret treasure of bones, they must gather seven strings of seven-star pendants.

Originally, only the three Jindan patriarchs of the Wei family knew about this matter, but somehow it spread to the ears of the Mu family, which was also the fundamental reason for the collapse of the Wei family.

After the Wei family was destroyed, all six strings of pendants fell into the hands of the Mu family, leaving only Wei Chongyue with a string of seven-star pendants. For the mission of the family, he has been living in seclusion on the outskirts of the corpse mountain to protect the secret of bones. Tibetan.

Unexpectedly, more than 20 years ago, he was accidentally discovered by the Mu family, and was brought to the door by Mu Jueqing of the Mu family. After a fight, he was the only one who escaped to heaven.

A few days ago, his traces were discovered by the Mu family again, and the three elders of the Mu family appeared at the same time. This time, he was besieged by the three, and accidentally hit Mu Wangqing with a bone hammer. His internal organs were shattered on the spot and he was seriously injured. Relying on a secret escape technique in the family, he might be dead at this moment.
