The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 4 Treasure
Li Mu clasped a stone between his index finger and thumb, and stared at a tree two feet away.

On that tree, there was a strange snake with a golden light on its body, horns on top, and as thick as a child's arm, coiled on the branch, and the snake kept swallowing letters.

Suddenly, the strange snake jumped, and Li Mu almost saw a flash of golden light. A squirrel on the tree entered the snake's mouth, and a small bag bulged in its throat.

"Wh... bang"

While the snake was trying its best to swallow the squirrel, the stone between Li Mu's fingers was thrown out by his strength, and hit the side of the snake's head.

Hitting seven inches requires higher precision and it is easy to miss, so Li Mu put the target of the attack on the snake's head.

Anyway, he didn't expect to kill him with one blow, he just needed to knock him out.

After knocking down the strange snake from the branch, Li Mu drew out the long sword at his waist, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the side of the strange snake.

"laugh"

The sword light passed by, and the snake's head flew away. Li Mu skillfully lifted the snake's tail, and threw the snake's body, which was still twisting and twisting, into a bamboo basket slung around his waist.

Shaking the bamboo basket, checking the quantity inside, Li Mu nodded in satisfaction, and immediately returned to Jianzhong Valley.

The terrain of Jianzhong Valley is flat and very wide, and weeds that are about a foot long sway left and right with the breeze.

Inside the valley is a mountain wall, and there is a cave on the mountain wall.

This cave is very spacious, with a horizontal width of more than ten feet, but the depth is relatively shallow, less than three feet.

There are many old pots and pans in the cave, as well as furniture that has almost decayed.

Only those stone beds, stone tables, and stone benches are intact, and they remain unchanged through the years.

It is thought that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv, who lived in seclusion, or their descendants once lived here, so there is this family item.

But now two or three hundred years have passed, things have changed and people have changed, and no one here may know about it.

Li Mu went to the cave to take a porcelain bowl, went to the stream not far from the cave, cut the belly of the Pusi snakes he harvested today, took out the gallbladder, cleaned them, and put them into the bowl.

It has been two months since he came to Jianzhong Valley, and he does nothing else every day, just search for Pusiqu snake, and then kill the snake to get the snake gall to practice kung fu.

In the past two months, his skills have progressed so much that he has practiced hard for half a year before, and he has also practiced less than half of the fourth volume of Jiuyang Shengong.

If this goes on like this, according to Li Mu's estimate, he will be able to achieve perfection in half a year at most, and in another half a year, he will be able to open up the acupoints of the whole body's entrance, making the Nine Suns magical power complete.

In this way, he can complete his main goal of going down the mountain in a little over three years.

In the rest of the time, you can run around for secondary goals.

……

Because of the advantage of foresight, Li Mu practiced the Nine Suns Divine Art without any surprises or dangers.

He opened up one entrance after another step by step, so that the acupoints in his whole body gradually connected into one piece, unimpeded.

One year after he came to Jianzhong Valley, when he was cultivating, he used his tyrannical skills to attack the last and most important life-and-death entrance.

There was no surprise, after only a moment of stalemate, the entrance was smashed by Jiuyang Zhenqi.

Li Mu only felt a roar in his body, and there was a sound of a dragon and a tiger, all the stagnant feeling disappeared instantly, and the true energy was rushing endlessly in the meridians without any blockage.

There is no need for Li Mu to take the initiative to urge it, the true energy will run on its own, endlessly, and extremely condensed.

It was like streaks of mercury circulating in the meridians, making Li Mu feel extremely comfortable.

So far, Li Mu spent three years and two months, and finally practiced the Nine Suns Divine Art to the state of great achievement where the yang and the yin are born, the yin and yang combine, water and fire complement each other, and the dragon and the tiger meet.

From then on, instead of acquired, it becomes innate, true energy is self-generated, never exhausted, and there is no worry of being too discouraged.

The most important thing is that now that the Nine Suns Magic Art is positive and negative, and Yin and Yang are in harmony, Li Mu no longer needs to maintain a virgin body.

Even if she went back immediately and married Ning Zhongze, it would have no effect.

After completing his martial arts, Li Mu was not in a hurry to go back to the mountain.

In order to revitalize the sect and further develop it, it is not enough just to have strong martial arts, you also need to have disciples, a large number of disciples.

But raising disciples requires money and food, which is the same as raising an army. Before disciples can generate their own income, they have to rely on sects to support them.

That's why the Huashan faction in the original plot is so shabby. The whole faction has no more than twenty people, and most of them are useless.

There are only four or five junior disciples with names and surnames who can handle a little bit, and one of them is an undercover agent of another faction.

Although the Huashan School's vitality was seriously injured due to the battle of sword qi, the inheritance of martial arts has not been lost. As long as they are willing to open the gate of the mountain, a large number of disciples can be recruited.

Why didn't Yue Buqun in the original play recruit disciples?

Nothing else, just one problem, can't afford it.

The biggest reason for the decline of the six major factions is also this.

Under the suppression of the imperial court, the sect has no source of income at all, and even food is a problem. Who has the leisure to practice martial arts?
So in order to revitalize the Huashan faction, Li Mu had to get money, a lot of money.

This is not a difficult matter for him.

The world of martial arts in the Golden Book is all in the same line, and they are in the same world at different time periods, so many things naturally exist.

Such as treasure.

Now Li Mu has a chance to obtain two treasures, one is the treasure of Emperor Jianwen in Nanjing Wei Guogong's mansion, and the other is the treasure of "Liancheng Jue" in Tianning Temple outside Jiangling City.

At that time, Zhu Di, king of Yan, rebelled and launched the Jingnan Campaign.

When the army came under pressure, Emperor Jianwen transferred all the gold, silver and jewels in the palace and hid them in the underground of Wei Guogong's mansion, hoping to use them for the restoration of the country in the future.

It's a pity that the treasure was not used in the end, leaving only a treasure map.

The existence of this treasure was only known to Duke Wei at that time, Xu Huizu, the son of Xu Da.

After Xu Hui Zuying died young, no one knew about it.

It was not until the period of "Jade Blood Sword" that the treasure map fell into the hands of Yuan Chengzhi, and he discovered and retrieved the treasure.

Yuan Chengzhi exchanged the treasure for military funds, recruited his father's old subordinates (Shan Zong), and established the "Three Golden Snake Battalions", which became one of his team members who later left Boni Kingdom.

Among all the treasures in the Golden Book World, this is the only treasure that is normally discovered, retrieved, and functioning.

In other words, in this era, this treasure is still safely lying in the ground of Duke Wei's mansion.

But today's Wei Guogong's mansion is not like the period of "Jade Blood Sword".

At that time, Wei Guogong's mansion had been sold by Wei Guogong at that time, and it was no longer the Guogong's mansion. Yuan Chengzhi could naturally dig treasures calmly.

But today's Wei Guogong's mansion still lives with this generation of Wei Guogong!

It's not hard to imagine how heavily guarded the duke's mansion is. It's simply unrealistic to think of digging treasures at someone's house and having to bring them out.

Then the only thing Li Mu can choose is the treasure of "Liancheng Jue".

The Liancheng Jue treasure was hidden by Emperor Liang Yuan during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was not discovered until the early Qing Dynasty, so it naturally existed in this era.

It's just that the gold, jade and treasures in the belly of the big golden Buddha are poisonous, and it will take some trouble to get them safely.

But no matter what, the difficulty is always much lower than the treasures in Duke Wei's mansion.

He didn't even need to take out all of them, just pack him a burden, it would be enough for the Huashan faction to spend for decades.

Raising disciples is different from raising an army after all.

The sect only needs to provide the disciples with food and clothing, and at most a sword.

There is no need to pay military salaries like the army, prepare weapons and armor, various ordnance, and even war horses.

The big golden Buddha Li Mu didn't plan to move for the time being, so as not to startle the snake and leak it out.

Get some gold and jade treasures in the belly of the Golden Buddha to support them first, and wait for the Huashan faction to rise again and have sufficient manpower, and then try to move them all back to Huashan.

With a plan in mind, Li Mu set off immediately.

He has already mastered the Nine Suns Divine Art, so there is no need to carry the four volumes of the "Langa Sutra" with him, and there is no way to explain them when he takes them home.

Following Zhang Wuji's example, he wrapped four volumes of scriptures in oilcloth and buried them in a cave in Jianzhong Valley, taking away only the "Medical Classics" and "Poison Classics".

These two scriptures are also of great use to him, and he can slowly study them in detail in the future.

Zhang Wuji can learn it in a few years, but he spent 20 years "chewing slowly", and he will never be worse than Zhang Wuji.

Even if it is temporarily useless in this world, it will still be useful in other worlds in the future.
