Chapter 125

On this day, Shi Mu was concentrating on his brush strokes in the stone room of the stronghold, and a knock came at the door.

He raised his eyebrows, got up and opened the door, with a look of surprise on his face.

I thought it was the disciple who came to the door again to ask for the talisman, but there was a burly figure of Jin Chen standing outside the door.

"Elder martial brother Jin, why are you here when you have time?" Shi Mu let Jin Chen into the house and asked suspiciously.

Jin Chen glanced around in the stone shepherd's room and landed on the stone table. There were a stack of Rune paper, Rune ink, magic pen and several completed runes on it.

"Younger martial brother Shi is really diligent. He doesn't rest during his recovery." Jin Chen laughed and didn't immediately explain his intention.

"Elder martial brother is joking. I'm just sick and bored. I can refine some talismans as a backup." Shi Mu smiled.

Jin Chen took several talismans that Shi Mu had just refined and looked at them carefully.

"The talismans refined by younger martial brother Shi are smooth, full of spiritual power and have a high success rate. Even some talismans of spiritual level may not be able to do it. Unfortunately, people in this stronghold can no longer enjoy it." Minister Jin sighed and said with some regret.

"What does elder martial brother Jin mean?" Shi Mu's face moved.

"Hehe, I just received a transfer order from the alliance to transfer younger martial brother Shi to a stronghold in the northeast. I happened to have nothing to do, so I sent it myself." With a smile, Jin Chen took a jade slip from his arms and handed it to Shi mu.

Shi Mu was stunned, took the jade slip and probed into the divine consciousness.

There was indeed a transfer order signed by the alliance to report on a secret stronghold in Xuanling mountain within ten days. A map was attached to the back indicating the location of the stronghold.

Shi Mu was delighted after reading it.

From the map, the stronghold is quite far behind, far away from the current front battlefield, and much safer.

Although the jade slips did not explain the reason for transferring him, it is probably not a bad thing to change to the rear.

"There's senior brother Lao Jin. I should follow the instructions of the alliance and set out to rush in these two days." Shi Mu put away the jade slips and bowed his hands.

"Before that, Mr. Jin also hoped that younger martial brother Shi could do a little favor." Jin Chen looked puzzled. After hesitating for a while, he said.

"Elder martial brother Jin has something to say, but it doesn't hurt. If you can do what you can, you must serve." Shi Mu replied without thinking.

"Good! On behalf of the rest of the stronghold, Mr. Jin thanked younger martial brother. Younger martial brother Shi also knows that the battle situation on the front line is tense and there are great requirements for talismans. Jin hopes younger martial brother Shi to refine a batch of talismans. Originally, I planned to wait until younger martial brother finished healing, but now it seems that if I don't mention it, I'm afraid it's too late... I've brought the list of talismans and materials. As for merit, it will be more than 50% than before. " Jin Chen arched his hand, then took out a jade slip, a stack of Rune paper and several colorful spirit stones from his arms and put them on the stone table.

"If this is the case, don't worry, senior brother. Shi Mu will fulfill his mission." Shi Mu smiled and promised.

He is quite fond of the calm and fair stronghold leader in front of him. In addition, he can contact the magic of making runes with additional merit awards. Naturally, he will not refuse.

Hearing the speech, Jin Chen naturally thanked him with great joy and left immediately.

……

Ten days later, deep in the Xuanling mountains.

At the foot of a steep mountain peak thousands of feet high, a tall young man in a black short shirt was standing on a big stone, looking around and frowning slightly.

This person is Shi mu.

He found it according to the map in the jade slips, but after wandering around for some time, no one came out to meet him.

"The entrance of the stronghold here should also be covered up by the array. Do you want me to find it by myself..." Shi Mu was speechless.

His cultivation in the way of array is still shallow. It's not easy to see through a magic array.

But he is not completely helpless.

Shi Mu jumped down from the big stone, his eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils flashed into golden color, and looked at the surrounding ground.

A moment later, he squatted down on a dead branch grass. A vague footprint could be seen on the ground. It should have been a long time ago or almost invisible after the rain.

Shi Mu smiled.

Although the footprint was shallow, it could not escape his soul. For him at the moment, the footprint was like a giant elephant stepping on the ground, which looked huge and clear.

Shi Mu stood up and groped forward along the direction of the footprints. There were scattered traces of people walking in front.

Although the traces left on some rocks or hard ground are very shallow and sometimes indistinguishable, they still quickly found this direction and tracked the past all the way.

The more forward, the more obvious the residual traces are, and they all lead to one direction. Shi Mu's heart suddenly settled.

A moment later, he stood in front of a mountain wall, where all traces disappeared.

He scattered the golden light in his eyes, carefully looked at the stone wall in front of him, gently touched it, and suddenly disappeared into it.

"Sure enough..." Shi Mu nodded and took back his arm.

At this moment, a white light flashed on the stone wall, a crack opened, and a man in green robe was standing in front of the entrance.

"You are Shi mu of the black devil gate. Welcome to the mouse nest. I'm Miaoyin Zong Qingfeng." The green robed man looked at Shi mu with a smile and said.

"I'm Shi mu. Thank you, senior brother Lao Qing." Shi Mu took out his alliance identity token and the dispatching jade slip from his arms.

"Come in!" Qingfeng didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, he stepped aside and motioned for Shi Mu to go in.

Seeing this, Shi Mu quietly put away the token and jade slips and stepped forward.

The next moment, he just felt the light in front of him, and he was already standing in a spacious corridor leading to the underground, with the man in green standing side by side.

Shi Mu's eyes coagulated, but he only felt the dark ahead and didn't know how far it extended.

"Younger martial brother Shi can find it here by himself. It's really extraordinary. He deserves the strong recommendation of elder Jin." Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Recommended? Jin Changlao? " Shi Mu was stunned and stopped.

Seeing Shi Mu's expression, Qingfeng also stopped and asked with a puzzled face:

"What? Younger martial brother Shi, don't you know where this is? "

"Yes, I just received an order from the alliance to come to this stronghold. As for other things, I don't know what to do here." Shi Mu said honestly.

"It seems that younger martial brother Shi really doesn't know. Well, I'll give you a general explanation. In fact, this is not an ordinary stronghold, but a symbol making stronghold of the alliance. " Qingfeng looked at Shi mu in surprise and said slowly after a long time.

"Fuji stronghold?"

Shi Mu was stunned.

"Now the war situation is getting tighter. In order to meet the large demand for low-level talismans in the front line, the alliance gathered elite talismans from all factions to temporarily form this talisman base. Younger martial brother Shi's talisman talent has been known by some senior leaders, coupled with the strong recommendation of elder Jin Xiaochai of Guizong, so I recruited you here." Qingfeng said as he led the way.

Shi Mu frowned when he heard the speech.

He and Jin Xiaochai had only one side of the road at the beginning, and never saw him again. Such a congenital elder paid so much attention to him, and he didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing.

His thoughts rolled in his heart and followed Qingfeng silently.

After walking for about half an hour, they came to the end of the passage, and a stone gate appeared in front.

Qingfeng turned over and took out a palm sized white jade, which was painted with some runes. With a slight flash, a white light flew out and disappeared into the stone gate.

KAKA!

The stone gate opened slowly towards both sides, revealing the scene inside.

A huge hall with a radius of more than a hundred feet appeared in front of Shi mu. Hundreds of people walked around it, and from time to time, there was aura and treasure light rising into the sky.

The space of the giant Hall is like a Dan furnace, with a raging flame burning below. There are two or three people waiting next to each Dan furnace to put all kinds of ores, materials, even animal skins and bones into the furnace from time to time.

Shi Mu recognized that these furnaces were not Dan furnaces for alchemy, but fuhuo furnaces for making Rune paper.

A big man guarding the fuhuo stove poured out some viscous cyan liquid from the stove and carefully poured it into the square molds next to him.

The liquid cooled quickly and soon condensed into a new cyan Rune paper, which was carefully collected by the people next to it.

There are forty or fifty fuhuo stoves in the hall, constantly producing pieces of fuhuo paper of various colors.

"Let's go." The green robed man waited for Shi Mu to look for a moment before he walked towards the other side of the hall.

The workers guarding the furnace and making amulets in the hall were in awe of Qingfeng, saluted him one after another, and cast curious eyes on Shi Mu walking behind.

Qingfeng ignored these people and soon took Shi Mu out of the hall through a long passage.

Some tightly closed stone chambers can be seen by the passage from time to time. I don't know what they are used for.

A moment later, they came to a large stone gate again.

"The hall just now is just a place where some slave workers boil runes. This is the rune making hall where the elite Rune masters of all schools are located. You are a newcomer. You can ask others for more advice when you first arrive. " Qingfeng said, turning his hand and taking out the white jade, a white light disappeared into the stone gate, which opened slowly.

Inside the door is a rather open hall. The top of the hall is in the shape of a circular arc. A white chandelier hangs every few feet, emitting milky light to illuminate the whole hall.

Large stone tables were placed in the hall, which were filled with various runes, pens, ink and so on.

There were twenty or thirty such stone tables. Almost one person sat beside each stone table. Some were busy drawing symbols, and some gathered in groups of three or two to discuss something in a low voice.

There are several separate rooms around, except the one closest to the exit, all of which are closed. At one end of the hall, a huge white jade wall was erected, on which lines of fonts appeared, which seemed to be the task of making symbols one by one. Most people just glanced at them when they saw them coming in. Occasionally, one or two people nodded to Qingfeng and continued to be busy with their own affairs.
