Just when the Qin Army thought that victory was within their grasp, the State of Zhao was also holding a celebratory feast for the victory of the New Blessed Land. This time, Sima Shang and the disciples of the Mo family had solved the huge problem that had plagued Zhao Qian, which was naturally recognized by Zhao Qian, as well as the people of Handan City. However, this scene had caused the other person to lose his limelight. That person was none other than the eunuch, Guo Kai. Ever since Sima Shang and the others had returned to the city, Zhao Qian had always praised them whenever they went to court. Seeing the disciples of the Mo family was like seeing a treasure.
On this day, Zhao Qian once again held a banquet, preparing to invite Sima Shang and Tian Gan to enjoy it together. That scene was naturally a delicacy and a feast with tasty food, and the servants that passed the dishes had already lined up a long line, extending from the hall all the way to the entrance of the hall. As for the dancers, they came from all over the place, and even the silk and satin on their bodies were packed into several carriages.
"Your Majesty, the war is tight right now, you can't be so extravagant." Seeing the situation, Sima Shang recalled Guo Kai's feast and was naturally not used to it.
"Hey, General, you're overthinking it. This is just a small banquet. Besides, General has worked hard on the battlefield, so you need to make up for it." Zhao Wang, who was used to Guo Kai's extravagance, naturally disapproved.
"Your Majesty, what General Si Ma said is correct, right now we are only temporarily withdrawing, the enemy will come again, and each time they will attack will be fiercer than the last. Right now is not the time to sing and dance. Tian Gan was originally the eldest disciple of the Mo family, and he was already taught by his teacher. Seeing such a grand scene, he was naturally willing to stay far away.
"What is the meaning of this? "How can this be considered eroding luxury?" Zhao Qian was very displeased when he heard that Tian Gan didn't appreciate his kindness.
"Please don't be angry, your highness. This is not the intention of a righteous priest, but …"
"Reporting, the scouts ahead have come to report, the three hundred thousand Qin soldiers have passed Wu An, are advancing in Handan, and in a few days they will arrive in Handan." Sima Shang wanted to explain something to Tian Gan, but he was interrupted by an eager military newspaper.
"Who will lead the troops? How far is it from here? " When Zhao Qian heard this, he almost lost his breath.
"The leader is the Qin nation's great general, Wang Jian. He's only about fifty li away from here."
"What … What should we do?" Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Sima Shang, Tian Gan, and the others beside him, and immediately changed the topic, "Previously, the oligarchs did not differentiate between right and wrong and wronged the generals. Now, it's time for the oligarchs to apologize."
"The great king cannot lower himself to the ground. As for the matter of facing the enemy, this official is willing to lead the troops." Sima Shang knew that Zhao Qian was trying to force the issue, but as the general of Zhao, he had to give Zhao Qian a way out.
"Good, Zhao has General Si Ma. This is the greatest fortune of Zhao."
"However, in order to prevent similar situations from happening again, I would like to request the King to pass down the order that from today onwards, all of the royal doctors, regardless of whether they are dressed in luxurious clothing or lived here, are to be paid by the army and are to join the soldiers in rejecting Qin Zang. Those who go against the order are to do so according to the law!"
"Of course, of course, everything is as General Si Ma said." Zhao Qian was a submissive person, so he naturally became very obedient.
However, this matter was spread with extravagance. Originally, extravagance was forbidden, but now that the distinguished officials knew that the King of Zhao was obedient to Sima Shang and knew that Sima Shang was a clean and honest person, they didn't even dare to touch the banquet because they didn't want him to go back on his word. This was good, it didn't matter if other people didn't drink, but it was bad for Jing Wuya who was addicted to alcohol and wanted to die. If it was said that his wine was cut off, it would be no different to him. However, this was a military ban that could not be broken. Helpless, he had no choice but to secretly leave the city and get drunk. This way, no one would disturb him and at the same time dispel his thirst for alcohol, killing two birds with one stone.
The north side of Handan City was located in a remote area. Because it was close to the north side of the city, it was sparsely populated. However, because Handan City had been under constant crisis for the past few days, very few people had come and gone, making the already deserted area even more desolate.
"Is there anyone here?" Jing Wuya originally wanted to quell his thirst for alcohol, but when he thought of this, he realized that the tables and chairs were already covered in a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had cleaned these tables and chairs for days.
Since he was here, he could not disappoint him and return. Therefore, Jing Wuya looked around for something to eat and drink. In any case, this brat's luck was quite good. He didn't expect that even though he had gone to empty his room, there was still some leftover wine. When he saw the wine, Jing Wuya acted as if he was blessed. He quickly unsealed the wine, and the wine's aroma wafted into his nose. How could he resist such temptation? He gulped it down without saying a word.
Jing Wuya only let his throat rest after he drank half a pot, but this was not the time to be satisfied. How could he let the remaining half a jar of wine linger around? Therefore, he picked up the wine jar again and prepared to finish the rest in one go.
However, just as the wine reached the entrance, a noise outside the door made him immediately alert. Although Jing Wuya loved wine as if it was his life, it didn't affect his sensitivity to the changes in the outside world in the slightest. Judging from the sound, could it be that the owner of the inn had returned?
He hurried out, thinking of the direction of the sound, holding his breath and listening carefully again. But after a long time, there was still no sound. This made him puzzled. Was it just an autumn wind blowing past?
Just as he was hesitating, there was suddenly a rustling sound in the forest. He looked over and saw mottled patterns emerging from the bustling leaves. The pattern on the tiger's skin was yellow and brown, and it had a milky white color. Wasn't this an incomparably ferocious tiger? Jing Wuya broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this. In the midst of his panic, the sword in his hand reminded him. Thus, like an arrow that had been released from its bow, his sword flew into the forest with a swoosh.
"Aiya ~ ~ ~" As the sharp sword disappeared into the forest, the person screaming was not the sound of the tiger. Instead, it was clearly a person's voice.
'This is bad, this is bad! Did I accidentally injure my own life? ' When Jing Wuya heard this, he groaned in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a figure slowly walking out from the bushes. Just as his head appeared, he shouted loudly: "Who dares to throw such a good sword around?"
Jing Wuya sized this person up carefully. His white beard was already three inches long, and was messy like his hair. His sunken eyes were somewhat bright, his shriveled lips were paired with his upturned lower jaw, and his speech did not seem to be very smooth. However, he was carrying a tiger skin on his back. That was also the reason why Jing Wuya mistook him for a vicious tiger just now. Looking at his appearance now, he definitely looked like a mountain hunter.
"Old man, I mistook you for a vicious tiger just now, you're disrespectful." When Jing Wuya saw that the other party was fine and that it was just a false alarm, he felt a lot more at ease.
"Evil Tiger? You look so young, why are your eyes so useless? Such a big living person, you call it a tiger? From the looks of it, you are just like a ferocious tiger. "
Jing Wuya saw that although he apologized profusely, the other party did not appreciate his kindness and was making things difficult for him. He could not help but feel slightly unhappy, so he said, "I say, old man, what are you doing hiding in the bushes with your tiger skin around you? It's no wonder others accidentally hurt you. "
"There has been a lot of war in Zhao recently, and the flow of customers has almost disappeared. This old servant has been out of business for a few days now. Hunting and eating, but I didn't expect you to almost kill me."
When he heard these words, Jing Wuya seemed to have guessed that this person must be the owner of this run-down restaurant. No wonder no one stopped him when he went in and got drunk earlier. When he thought of this, he started to feel uneasy. After all, he hadn't paid for the wine just now and had forcefully taken someone else's item. Thus, he couldn't help but reach into his pocket and suddenly shouted in his heart. Oh no, he forgot to bring the money when he was in such a hurry to leave.
"So it's like this. Old man, I saw that there was no one around at the inn just now and my mouth was dry, so I drank some of your wine. I left today in a hurry and now I'm short on money …" As Jing Wuya spoke, he began to groan.
"What?" Did you steal my wine? Why don't you bring some money with you? " When the old man heard this, he was both shocked and annoyed.
"Didn't I say it already? I was in a hurry to leave …."
"If that's the case, then fine, I can use this sword to pay for the liquor," the elder suddenly calmed down. He raised his hand to carefully examine the sword in his hand, repeatedly cheering, "It really is a good sword."
"Old man, this sword can only be used for a short period of time. In the future, I will come here to redeem myself."
"Let me ask you. Where did you obtain this sword?" The old man paid no heed to Jing Wuya's words and just asked.
Although he is a lot older than me, the two of us have been friends for a long time. But after he left the sword, he left without saying goodbye, and if we meet again in the future, I will return the sword. So, this sword can only be used for a short period of time, and it will be redeemed tomorrow.
This sword is made from the joint effort of Ou Yezi and General Qian. For the purpose of forging this sword, the two masters cut open the Zergs Mountain, released the rivers in the mountains, and led it to the seven ponds that formed the Big Dipper Ring beside the Sword Crafting Furnace. It's called "Seven Stars." After the sword was completed, they looked down at it as if they were climbing a mountain and looking down into the abyss. It was ethereal and deep, as if there was a giant dragon lying coiled there.
"Oh? This sword actually has such a history? " Jing Wuya was also very surprised. He did not expect that this ordinary hunter would know the origins of this sword, but he himself was skeptical of his own narration.
"Heh heh, I heard it on the road. I heard it on the road. But no matter what, since it has already been put off for a while, this sword can be used by me to kill the Evil Tiger. "
"Oh? Hoho, old man, I am not underestimating you. You have already passed the prime of your life, and your hair and beard are all white. If you want to wave this sword, it would be extremely difficult, let alone using this sword to kill the Evil Tiger. " Jing Wuya thought that the old man was joking, and thought that the other party was probably thinking of attacking his treasured sword.
"Hahaha, young man, there are two kinds of people in this world that can accomplish anything. One person only knows how to use brute force to win, while the other only knows how to use wits to win. In the eyes of many, hunting this evil tiger is akin to ascending to the heavens. However, in the eyes of others, it is as though they were searching for something. "
"Old man, it's not that I don't respect you, but do you have any basis for what you just said?" Jing Wuya did not think much of the old man's boasting.
"Brat, since you've met me this time, consider yourself lucky. I'll reluctantly explain this to you. The reason why the Evil Tiger was so terrifying was because it was swift and ferocious. When it was hunting its prey, it would often be able to catch its prey off guard. The weapon he used against the enemy was his greatest weakness. Its speed was hard to stop, and its ferocity was less than his defense. Therefore, for hunters who hunt down evil tigers, they would definitely stop it in its tracks and when it released its full power attack, it would raise its sharp blade and face it, waiting for it to die under the sword. "
The old man said with relish, but he did not seem happy at all.
"Hahaha, old man, I think you're being foolish as a hunter. No matter how foolish this evil tiger is, it wouldn't bring about its own destruction." Jing Wuya only laughed, completely disregarding the old man's words, "Alright, don't think about me anymore. I'll let you play with this sword for two days, I'll come and redeem it tomorrow."
After the old man heard this, he didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "That's good too. I'll leave it to you tomorrow. I'm going to hunt that evil tiger right now." With that, he walked towards the bushes.
Suddenly, he knew something was wrong. He thought that he was probably following the old man's instructions, but there was no trace of him in the surroundings. He could only take a step forward and come back tomorrow to see what was going on.
On this day, Jing Wuya had already gotten up early to go to the northern suburbs of Handan, but this unfortunate incident had really struck him right in the middle of the afternoon. Jing Wuya groaned in his heart, he regretted it immensely. He really did beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret. Since things had come to this, there was no other way around it. However, the resentment in his heart could not be quelled. As someone who had always been unruly and unruly, he had unavoidably thrown away the remaining few jars of good wine. For a time, those sounds of clanging and clanging were extremely unpleasant to hear.
"Who is this shameless? Seeing that the master is not here, not only did you eat and drink for free, you even destroyed his good business." Just as Jing Wuya was feeling satisfied, a clear and melodious voice came from outside the room.
He immediately rushed out of the door to see who this person was, to actually stand up for that unfaithful old man. When he saw the person, he was momentarily stunned. The person had a pair of phoenix eyes, two willow leaves, and a pair of thin, delicate eyebrows. He looked as if he had never eaten in his life before, and although he was wearing coarse clothes, his clothes were clean and tidy. Jing Wuya had traveled for many years and had never met such a handsome and elegant person before. However, he always felt that although this young master had an elegant demeanor, his body emitted the aura of a woman.
"Who are you?" Jing Wuya cupped his fists and asked.
"He's just a passerby." Although this person's words were crisp and clear, they still had a continuous feeling to them.
"Since young master is just a passerby, you probably can't differentiate between true emotions and blames others for what they do."
"Even if I don't know the truth, young master, what did you do to his character that's the truth? I'm afraid that I can't deny this impolite crime."
"My crime of being rude, you know …" Jing Wuya wanted to reveal the truth, but he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his throat. He couldn't say anything at all. He was afraid that he was tongue-tied from the alcohol just now.
"Since it's a crime, of course I can't evade it. Aren't I also speechless?" Seeing this, the young master wasn't surprised, but started to laugh. "It's best if young master doesn't act too rashly in the future, lest you become too rude."
When he saw the young master's reaction, Jing Wuya immediately understood that he wasn't drinking too much. It must be because the person in front of him had messed with the wine and poisoned him. He already understood that even though he was burning with rage, he couldn't say a single word. He could only point his finger at that fellow and glare at him angrily. However, the more angry he was, the more he felt that his hands and feet had lost all of their strength and couldn't help but slump down.
That person didn't feel any sympathy nor was he angry. On the contrary, he was even more pleased with himself, as if all of this was all part of his plan. He then said, "I still have something to take care of." Saying that, he turned around and left. He had just taken a step when he turned his head back and reminded Jing Wuya, "You can dispel this poison after half an hour. Young master need not worry too much." With that, he left with a smile on his face.
When Jing Wuya heard this, he felt as if the anger in his chest was about to explode, but it remained in his chest and he couldn't get out no matter what. That feeling was even worse than killing him. He recalled that he was the only one who had made fun of others since he was young. No one had ever made fun of him before. However, now that he had fallen into the hands of a nameless junior, he was naturally very unwilling. However, the truth was that he had clearly lost his vigilance to this poison. Now, he could only accept this loss and not blame anyone else. However, the most hateful thing was that he never would have thought that such a grand person would like to use such a despicable and despicable method. He felt that this person could not be judged by appearances.
Jing Wuya patiently waited for a long time before he finally felt something in his legs. He tried to move his feet, but even though he was staggering, he could still walk. He tried to clear his throat, and he could finally make a sound. He thought that if he exercised more, he might recover faster, so he stood up and loosened his muscles.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes and saw dust flying everywhere. It was as if there was a black cloud in the sky. The black cloud was constantly changing, and it was occasionally emitting a malicious, ghost-like aura. It was truly a terrifying sight. He carefully observed for a long time before realizing that the black shadow was riding a fast horse. Due to the speed of its running and the dust cloud, it looked like a black cloud from afar. In these chaotic times of war, it was not strange to see this cavalry marching on the road, but Jing Wuya was truly shocked to see such a strange cavalry. What made him even more uneasy was that the cavalry was galloping in the direction of Handan, the capital of Zhao!
Could it be that the Qin soldiers were directly closing in on the back of Handan from the north? Having thought of this, Jing Wuya broke out in a cold sweat. He no longer had time to think, and his legs suddenly became much more nimble. He flew up onto the horse, fiercely whipped the horse a few times, and then galloped towards Handan.
When Jing Wuya rushed towards the north gate of Handan City, he saw from afar that the city gate was tightly shut, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Banners were everywhere on the city gate, and sabers and halberds were everywhere. Just as he was wandering around, an extremely strange voice suddenly sounded out from behind him, as if it was drifting in the wind. "Sir, are you Young Master Jing Wuya?"
When Jing Wuya turned around, he saw that the person was wearing a black robe, as if he was an inker. Although this person's voice was strange, he was still a member of the Mo family, so it wasn't strange for Jing Wuya to hear. In his eyes, most of the people in the Mo family were weird. If there was a normal person, he would find it weird. Therefore, he answered, "Yes, I am."
"I am one of the eight sons of the Mo family, Shan Gen. I have been waiting for young master for a long time."
"So he's a disciple of the Mo family. I know your family's Tian Gan, and we have a drinking relationship."
"Young master must be joking. Tian Gan is the head of the Mo family's eight sons. I've been waiting here for a long time, and he asked me to lead you there."
"Oh? Now that the city gates are tightly shut, where are we going? "
"Please follow me. You will know when we get there."
Jing Wuya saw that this person was unwilling to say more, so he did not ask any further, because he knew that the people from the Mo family liked to be secretive, so there was no point in asking. Strangely, Jing Wuya felt as if he was walking in a certain direction, but he couldn't tell where was north, south, east and west no matter how he walked. He felt as if the sky was turning and the mountains were turning, making him dizzy.
"Young master, we've arrived." Before Jing Wuya could react, he heard a loud clanging sound and stopped. After careful observation, one could see that it was actually a huge cave. It was big enough for only one person to enter. It would not be easy for an outsider to find such a cave.
However, after entering the cave, it gradually became spacious. As his footsteps went deeper, he had a feeling that he had suddenly become enlightened. The surroundings were filled with lanterns and candles. Although it should have been dark inside the secret cave, it was now as bright as day. Although the items inside were all mountain rocks, their arrangement was just right. The rugged and strange stones formed an extremely shocking scene.
Further ahead was a grand hall. Although it wasn't as grand as the Zhao Wang's grand hall, it was still very solemn. However, the Mo family did not move at all. On both sides, they were like stone statues. Looking at this scene, Jing Wuya guessed that they were waiting for some important figure to appear. He turned his head back in an attempt to find the mountain, but now that he was gone, he could only follow the host and take a step at a time.
However, what he expected was not bad. He saw a man in white clothes walking over slowly. His steps were light and light, and he did not pay any attention to his footsteps. There were eight people behind him as well. If he looked carefully, he could tell that one of those eight people was Tian Gan from the Mo family. He guessed that those eight people were the eighth son of the Mo family. Could it be that this person who could make the Mo family's eighth son follow closely was the legendary Mo family's top disciple?
Jing Wuya was full of suspicion, so when he looked at that person, he saw that the person had a head full of white hair. Although it was three feet long, it was neat and refined. As the man got closer, he became more familiar with the man's bright eyes. No, no, Jing Wuya suddenly felt as if something had pricked him. He looked closely at the immortal, that protruding height, that vigorous face, this was not that … That mountain hunter!
"With love and love, stop all attacks. Go to hell and die a horrible death! Welcome! " Jing Wuya widened his eyes in shock. Just as he was about to call out the old man, he was stunned by a chorus of authoritative voices. He would never have thought that this person was actually the rumored leader of the Mo family in the martial arts world!
"Everyone, this old man has personally come to the Handan branch of the Hall, not for sightseeing, nor for lobbying, but for a calamity in the martial arts world. A few days ago, this old man received critical news from the State of Zhao and was informed that Wu An was missing. Wu An's subordinates and his hundred thousand men were all killed, and as a result, this old man personally checked and found out that most of the people who died in battle died from hidden weapons, and the war horses and chariots were all broken into pieces. "According to this old man's deduction, the mechanical warbeast that killed people and drank their blood has appeared in this world again!" Even though the old man was speaking in a low and slow voice, the words he said and the words he said left a deep impression on everyone present.
"Huh?" Hearing his words, everyone from the Mo family was shocked.
"At that time, during the war at Chu, the Mo family's patriarch, Mo Zhai, was the one who defeated the aristocratic families in the government. He carefully studied the defensive mechanism technique and used it to control the assassination mechanism of the public loser class. There were rumours that these beasts could intercept and kill any target in the midst of the chaotic army. With the help of this mechanism, the army would be able to destroy Gu La. After that, the Martial Ancestor barely managed to win against the Gong Lun class. After that, the Gong Lun family kept their promise and withdrew from the world of war and slaughter. From then on, the Killing mechanism technique disappeared without a trace. However, in order to prevent this mechanical beast from harming the future, the ancestor placed the method of making, controlling, and breaking it into the Hundred Transformations Box and warned the future generations that they could only learn how to break it. No one was allowed to create this evil killing weapon. And now, this evil weapon of slaughter has reappeared in the martial arts world and is being used by the tyrannical Qin, who has gone through torture, so this is a calamity for all living beings! "
The big boss' words not only caused the Mo family to discuss animatedly, it also surprised Jing Wuya. Although he heard that the Mo family loved both offense and justice, and thought that they were just a sect using the banner of chivalry, he never thought that the Mo family's magical techniques would be so amazing. Hearing that the history of the Mo family was so amazing, he became even more interested in the Mo family's magical techniques.
"As for our Mo family, for generations now, we have shared the responsibility of loving each other and attacking each other. Now that calamity has befallen the world, we are bound to do it. We hope that everyone can understand justice and face life and death."
"We are all waiting for your orders, we will go through thick and thin, and we will all die here!" Everyone from the Mo family announced in unison that they were clearly determined to live or die. They had never hesitated when it came to matters of life and death, and indeed, they deserved to be called the warriors of the Mo family.
"Alright, in that case, this old man will be counting on you." At present, this old man is still unclear on who produced and who manipulated this mechanical warbeast. In order to be completely prepared, I ask the various sect masters and hall masters to act with haste and spare no effort. Tian Gan, Sect Leader of the Heaven's Secret Faction, come forward and listen to my orders. "
"Disciple is here." As soon as Tian Gan heard the order, he rushed forward to kneel.
"Bring my handwritten letter and lead the disciples of the Heaven's Secrets Sect to your uncle-master Meng Wuying Fang. You must hand this letter over to your uncle-master, and all matters will be explained in the letter."
"Disciple accepts the order."
"The Sect Leader of the Divine Wind Sect, Sunset Clouds, has come to receive your orders."
"Disciple is here."
"Quickly lead the disciples of the Divine Wind Sect to Chu, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi. Contact the disciples of the Mo family there and persuade the other five nations to join forces. We will cut off this pass and force the Qin army to return to guard Xianyang."
"Disciple accepts the order."
"The sect master of the Sacred Flame Sect, Huo Li, stepped forward to receive his orders."
"Disciple is here."
"You will send additional people to supervise the construction of the defensive equipment, and within three days you will be allowed to build crossbows, crossbows, and several vehicles, in preparation for the Handan War."
"Disciple accepts the order."
"Mystical Array Sect's Sect Leader, this old man ordered you to build a mysterious array formation outside of Handan City using stones to stop the Qin troops from advancing, are you able to do it?"
"Everything has been done as instructed."
"Lei Zhen, Earth Kun, and Shui Kan, you three come with me to Handan City to meet General Li Mu."
"Yes, disciple."
In the blink of an eye, all the arrangements had been completed with only a few words, and the arrangement was extremely meticulous, without the slightest trace of wind. It was truly amazing. Jing Wuya felt that the hunters in the mountains had become a completely different person. They no longer had that slovenly and unrefined demeanor, and what replaced it was the calm and collected air of a sage. However, just as he was about to exclaim in admiration, he suddenly remembered that his sword was still in the old man's hands. He couldn't help but feel a bit unhappy.
"Hey, grandpa Baozi, you know that, don't you? You seem to still owe me something, right? " Jing Wuya didn't care about the solemn atmosphere, directly jumping out from the corner and asking.
"How dare you be so rude to her!" However, when one of the Mo Family's eighth son heard this, he was not in a good mood and shouted in a hurry.
"Heh heh, what a joke. How could you be so rude when you owe me money." When Jing Wuya heard that voice, he found it somewhat familiar, but he did not mind it. Instead, he acted like a scoundrel.
"Oh? Who do I think it is? So it's that young master who sneaked around to drink good wine! I can't even say anything after drinking too much, and I can't even walk anymore. I just recovered a bit and I forgot about the pain from my old injuries, hehe."
Jing Wuya looked over. How could this be anyone else? It was the handsome young master who poisoned him. No wonder that voice sounded so familiar. No, that's not right. Looking at that person, he was already dressed like a woman. His face was rosy and his cheeks were pink, and his waist was slender and fine. This was not some young master, but a woman.
"You, you wicked woman." Jing Wuya was incensed at the woman's humiliations, but there was nothing he could do to her.
"Earlier, a certain someone said that he would repay the debt with money. That is to be expected. However, it is obvious that he is in front of the debt, yet he dares to come here and act so shamelessly. He truly does not know shame." The girl was still unwilling to forgive him, and every word she said was aimed at Jing Wuya's vitals.
"Eighth Sister, don't be so rude. Master told me to invite Prince Jing." At this moment, Shan Gen finally came out to rescue them.
"But …"
"Exchange, I told you to return the Seven Star Dragon Abyss to Young Master Jing, are you messing around again?" The words of the great man seemed even more sacred and majestic.
"Master, that scoundrel destroyed the stronghold of our Mo family before I could even return the sword to him. That's why I —"
"Alright, you don't need to explain. Master will know." Wuya, I borrowed your sword yesterday, so I should return it today. However, you have indeed destroyed quite a few things for me, and now, if you are able to do one thing for me, I will return it to you. What do you think? "
When Jing Wuya heard these words, he thought of all sorts of tricks he might play, but his own blade was in the opponent's hands. How could a person not lower his head when they were under a roof, so he could only ask casually, "What is it?"
"There is a mysterious place in the heart of Korea called the Organ Tomb. It is the place where the descendants of the Gongsheng Family live. The Four Great Beasts were originally created by their ancestor, the Elder, who lost the class, so the answer bell still needs to be connected to someone, this time I want you to go and borrow the Four Great Beast Organs' blueprints from Master Zhong, I wonder what you think? "
Jing Wuya thought to himself, 'It doesn't sound like a good job, so what? It's clearly a fire pit! So he tried his best to find an excuse: "Master Kui, first of all, I do not know where this mysterious place is located, and secondly, I have never met with Master Kuku, so how can I borrow that mechanical drawing?"
Who knew that the big-shot's abdomen seemed to have already expected that Jing Wuya would say something like this. He laughed heartily and said, "You don't have to worry about this Wuya, I'll send a capable disciple to help you." After he had finished speaking, his gaze swept over to Ce Ze as he leisurely spoke, "Ce Ze, you should go ahead and work hard to accompany Wuya."
"Master — —" Hearing that her master had arranged for her to do so, Ceng Ze was extremely displeased and began to act coquettishly towards her again.
"Are you going to disobey the order?" Unexpectedly, at this moment, the man's face suddenly changed, he had a serious look on his face, and in his hand was a bright and shiny object, which caused people's hearts to tremble.
Seeing her master's attitude, Ce Ze could not say anything else and could only silently agree. This was because she was well aware that once this order was given, it would be like a military order being issued. No one was allowed to disobey it. However, he could only bite the bullet and agree to it. In his heart, he was very unhappy and always wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he suddenly remembered that since the Mo family's strange technique was so powerful, why not use the half move that he had learned so that he could roam the martial arts world in the future, and so he spoke of the conditions, "Since that's the case, I can't back out now, but you old man, you have to agree to one of my conditions."
"Go ahead."
"After this is done, you have to accept me as your personal disciple."
However, it was the big boss who knew what Jing Wuya was planning to do, so he readily agreed. "It's a deal!"
"Master …" The little girl wanted to say something, but seeing the determination on her face, she could only remain silent.
Jing Wuya, seeing that Big Brother's reply was so straightforward, did not know what to say anymore. He then heard Big Brother's righteous words, "This mission is fraught with difficulties, and there are even dangers everywhere. Everyone, please be careful." After he had finished, he heard the voices of the crowd chorus saying, "We shall obey the sacred order," and then everyone walked away.
When everyone had dispersed, the remaining disciples were all confused by their Master's arrangements. The fifth disciple Lei Zhen finally could not hold back the doubt in his heart, so he asked Big Dipper: "Master, why did you let so many of us disciples not use it, and instead sent a stranger to the mechanism tomb. This mechanism tomb is filled with danger, that kid is just a slob, it looks like there's nothing special about it, but how can he bear such a heavy burden?"
"I have my own ideas," he said mysteriously. "You don't have to worry."
Seeing his answer, the crowd could not help but give up.
When Jing Wuya left the mountain cave, he came out of a bush with weeds and leaves all over his body. He was already displeased because he was trapped, but this time, he was quite sloppy and he couldn't help but grumble, "What a crappy place, it's full of trashy things."
When Ce Ze heard the hidden meaning in his words, he started to mock him again. "Some people have just stolen drinks from others here and have completely forgotten about it."
Only after listening to the words of the admixture did Jing Wuya take a closer look at his surroundings. There were shrubs, broken wine stalls, and the smashed wine vats scattered on the ground not too far away. It was as if he was waiting for a kind person to clean up. If he took a closer look, wouldn't the scattered wine vessels have been smashed by him that day? Wasn't this tavern the same tavern that he had come to before? Then there was the bush, and the old man who came out from it. No, he was the son of the Mo family, no wonder he could disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye. Who would have thought that behind this unremarkable bush was the place where the Mo family's orders were gathered!
Thinking of this, Jing Wuya could not help but admire the meticulous actions of the Mo family. They were worthy of being called the number one sect. He was about to ask a few questions, but since the girl refused to share, he pretended to ask casually, "I say, what kind of family is your Mo family, and what kind of shop are they from?"
"You don't know about this, our Mo family is divided into six parts of eight: Heaven's Secrets Sect, Mysterious Formation Sect, Divine Wind Sect, Sacred Fire Sect, Thunder Sect, and Cloud Lake Sect. The eight parts of eight are known to the seven elders of the Mo family, who are not members of the Mo family, and are located in Qin, Zhao, Yan, Han, Chu, Qi, Wei Wei, and the Sacred Land, the Moke Manor. "The six gates are controlled by the eight sons of my Mo family, Tian Gan, Feng Xun, Huo Li, Lei Zhen, Shui Kan. The Heaven's Secrets Sect is mainly responsible for collecting information on all sides, and the sect is responsible for the planning of the operation; the Mysterious Formation Sect is responsible for arranging all kinds of strange formations to confuse the enemy; the Divine Wind Sect is famous for being quick and nimble, so they are mainly responsible for sending information; the Sacred Fire Sect's main firearm is mainly responsible for collecting weapons; the Thunder Sect is mainly responsible for gathering troops in emergency situations.
Before he could finish his words, Jing Wuya was already dumbfounded. He had thought that the Mo family was just one of the hundreds of families here. At most, they could be considered the most outstanding ones. Although he had heard that the Mo family loved both offense and love, but now it seemed that this was not a simple school of thought, but a place where one could stand alone in this chaotic world.
"What's wrong? Did you hear that? Therefore, I advise you to not think about our Mo family. The final disciple of the Mo family is not an easy job. "After entering the sect, you will have to continue to cultivate. If you have talent like my senior brother Tian Gan, you might be able to learn one of the top three or five years. If you don't, you'll have to spend your life picking firewood and fetching water."
"How do you know I'm not talented enough?" Jing Wuya seemed to be unconvinced.
"How should I know? Was there even a need to think? I can see it from the back of my head. A scoundrel like you only knows how to talk and take advantage of others. As for talent, your talent is quite high.
"You!" When Jing Wuya heard the little girl's words, he wanted to get angry, but he suddenly changed the topic, "I think your talent is about the same as mine, how can you be one of the Mo family's eight sons?"
"What I've done is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. If you keep on arguing, I'll make it so that you won't be able to speak anymore."
"Last time was just a scheme of yours. I won't be that stupid this time. I won't eat anything you give me. I want to see what you can do with me."
"Hehe, do you think I can't do anything to you like this? My nickname is Poison Eighth Sister and I can spread the poison in any way you want. It's fine if you don't eat or drink, but if you have the ability, you don't have to breathe. " With that, he took out a small medicine bottle and waved it in front of Jing Wuya's eyes from time to time. He had an evil smile on his face, and he looked very pleased with himself.
Although Jing Wuya didn't know what was in the medicine bottle, he had already experienced how powerful Poison Eighth Sister was, and knew that she wasn't someone to be trifled with, but because of face, she didn't seem too soft, so he said, "Forget it, I won't bother with you anymore, in case you say that I'm bullying women as a man, and that I'm bullying weak as a person, when word spreads out, it won't be nice either."
"Forget it, why are you still being stubborn. If it wasn't for Master giving me such a heavy responsibility, I would have crippled you with poison and blind poison long ago!"
Jing Wuya had traveled to countless places in the various kingdoms, and had met many strange people. Now that he had met such a unruly and unreasonable girl, he could only admit his misfortune. At this moment, he finally understood why the big boss sent that girl to go with him. He must have wanted to use her to trap him. He didn't expect that the ship that he had been careful of for ten thousand years would fall in that sewer. As he thought of this, he followed behind the little girl and cursed in his heart that the big boss was a cunning old fox.
At night, the twilight had gradually become hazy, and the commoners had long since been sleepwalking. At this moment, within the Li Residence, there was still a burning yellow candle that continued to grow in the twilight. At the head of the study sat a man with brows and a red face. He was wearing a black cloak and was flipping through a few papers that had been piled up in his hands for the past few days. At this moment, the one still working at the head of the table was none other than the famous general of the State of Zhao, General Li Mu.
"Husband, it's so late. Why aren't you resting?" Lady Li was worried that her husband's body would not be able to bear the constant tormenting, so she got up in the middle of the night and came to the study to urge him.
"Madam, please go back to your room and sleep. The country of Qin is approaching menacingly, probably scarier than ever before, and I was entrusted by Old General Lian to protect the country of Zhao, so if you can keep the country of Zhao safe, why not let me sacrifice my body?"
"Since that's the case, then my husband should pay more attention to his body. I'll take my leave first." Lady Li saw that she couldn't persuade her husband, and was well aware of his temper, so she had no choice but to give up and return to her room to rest.
After the Madam had left, Li Mu continued to flip through the papers. Every time he saw a crucial point, he would get up and circle the picture of the various countries behind him. Sometimes he would meditate for a bit, but he completely forgot about the exhaustion in his body.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind passed through the window, causing the already faint yellow candlelight to sway about, causing the already dim figure to be unable to distinguish which one was his and which one was another's.
"Since you have come, please show yourself." Although Li Mu was currently diligently studying the battle formation map, everything that happened around him couldn't escape his eyes.
"Hahaha, General Li is indeed worthy of being a general of the Divine Armored Sect. Not only can he control everything within a thousand miles, he can also see everything around him. This old man is extremely impressed."
"Oh, haha, so it turns out to be an old friend. I'm not a talented person, so I'm not too far away to welcome you, but rather far away to welcome you." When Li Mu heard that voice, he was overjoyed. Needless to say, this was a close friend that had been with him for many years.
Just as Li Mu finished speaking, a few figures flashed out from behind the screen. One of them was an old man with long white hair and a beard, the other two were righteous warriors, and the last one was a beautiful woman.
"General, you're too kind. This old man has come uninvited, sorry to trouble you."
"Senior, what are you saying? My mansion is where Senior Jin lives. Senior Jin can come whenever he wants to, and I was afraid that my humble abode might not be enough to take care of him and mistreat him."
"No, no, since General Li has said so, then I won't be polite."
"Elder Yue, please take a seat." Li Mu hastily waved his hand at the head of the table, gesturing for Big Brother to sit on his stomach.
After waiting for the large group of people to take their seats, Li Mu asked, "I've already been extremely cautious on my way back to the city. How did Elder Brother know that I've returned?"
"Although I do not know whether General Li has returned to court or not, this old man knows that General Li's cavalry had returned to court yesterday."
"Oh? But why? "
"Yesterday, I received a report from a spy from the Mo family, saying that in the north of Handan City, there was a dark shadow running at high speed. Because of the speed of the running, coupled with the dust that permeated the air, it looked like a black cloud from afar. Although the guards were only a few hundred people, they had fought and fought against a hundred thousand Huns outside of the barrier. Every time the Huns attacked, they would be scared by the black clouds and ghosts, causing them to retreat for dozens of miles.
"Haha, so that's how it is. Senior, you praise me too much. I, Li, have only been strict in the military and have only trained such a valiant warrior. How could it be so miraculous?"
"Hey, General Li, there is no need to be modest. No one in the world knows that General Li has ruled well and led well. Since the Qin Army came out from the East, Wang Jian and Wang Ben have been the commanders, and they have fought well and successfully. Only General Li can win against the Qin Army in the Battle of Fatty and Wu, which means that the only one who can fight against General Li is you."
"Wang Jian is using his army to win, it's an illusion. I am also ashamed of myself, I was lucky enough to win the Qin army. Even though I won the battle, I won it with the help of the senior disciples of the Mo family, otherwise I would have been defeated without a doubt." Saying that, Li Mu cupped his fist and bowed towards his son, showing his gratitude and respect.
"The general is acting like a stranger, loving both attacking and helping the strong and the weak is the last words of our Mo family's patriarch. Furthermore, my senior has repeatedly reminded us that if the country of Zhao is in danger, we must repay it with our deaths."
"Old General Lian was loyal throughout his life, which left me with great respect. It's a pity that the sovereign of the State of Zhao did not recognize the loyalty of traitors. He was ousted from the position of great general, causing the old general to regret it for the rest of his life."
"Yes, Senior Apprentice Brother was extremely talented back then, and in just a few years, he had mastered the military tactics of the Mo family." Yes, Senior Apprentice Brother was extremely talented back then, and in just a few years, he had mastered the military tactics of the Mo family, and in a few years, he was the only one who knew the military skills of the Mo family. He was also deeply moved when he talked about this.
"Even more rare is that even though Old General Lian was ousted, his heart is still with the State of Zhao. Before he left, he entrusted me with the heavy responsibility of the State of Zhao. In this world, it will be hard to find someone as loyal and honest as the old general. "
"General Li, you don't have to blame yourself, you don't have to worry, and you don't have to be disappointed either. This old man came here to share his worries with General Li." As General Li said this, he took out a sword from his sleeve and placed it in front of Li Mu.
Li Mu took the sword and examined it closely. Suddenly, his expression turned into one of shock as he exclaimed, "This … Isn't that Old General Lian's sword — — The Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword? "
"That's right, it is senior brother's sword. The Seven Star Dragon Abyss was originally used by Wu Zixu as a sword, a sword used for fighting and for fighting. Afterwards, Wu Zixu went into exile, and gave the sword and an old fisherman a gift, begging the old fisherman not to reveal his whereabouts, the old fisherman kept Wu Zixu hidden, and then took out his sword to kill himself. Thus, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword became a loyal and loyal sword. Afterwards, the sword had spiritual energy and was able to recognize the person who used it. Those who had the sword were all either geniuses or people who believed in it. Those who believed in it were passed on from generation to generation. Even though senior has passed away, he has entrusted this sword to someone else. He must be someone he believes to be the person. "
"Oh? I wonder what kind of person you are and where you are right now? " When Li Mu heard this, he was surprised and also pleasantly surprised. This was because if there was someone who believed in their ability, then the State of Zhao could be saved.
Honestly speaking, this old man does not know what's so special about him. Although this person is sloppy, this old man has a feeling that there's always a trace of spiritual energy in him, so this time I sent him to the tomb to retrieve the mechanism diagram, so I could test his strength.
It was no wonder that Master had spoke of such a slovenly travelling figure. So it was no wonder that Jing Wuya had been so secretive earlier, so it was because he had such a fortuitous encounter, but this person was indeed a carefree person, yet Old General Lian had actually passed on the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword to him. That was why they looked at each other in dismay, not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse.
"So that's how it is. Whether it is fortune or misfortune, it is the will of heaven. I'm not in a position to ask too much questions, but the State of Zhao is in danger this time. I hope senior can help me get through this crisis."
"Of course. When senior apprentice brother left, he sent someone to deliver a letter. The letter said that if the country of Zhao comes to an end, the Mo family will do everything in their power to help."
"In that case, I, Li Jun, am relieved."
With his son's words, Li Mu's originally apprehensive heart finally felt a little bit more at ease. He had been together with him for many years and had fought many victories together. Therefore, he was well aware of the Mo family's military skills. Although the Qin Army was originally very aggressive, if the two armies were to engage in a real battle, Li Mu would have full confidence in his "Flying Cloud." Therefore, it was unknown who would win and who would lose. Now, with the help of the Mo family, his chances of winning were much higher. However, for him, there were other things he was more worried about. Defeating was bound to be a disaster, and winning might not be a blessing.
