Chapter 157: Lin Miaomiao, the Outer Sect Senior Sister of the Holy Dan Sect
Gu Sheng curled his lips, loaded the arrows skillfully, aimed and shot.
Gu Sheng's movements were smooth and he looked like a skilled crossbowman. Unfortunately, his accuracy was still a little off and he didn't hit the Wind Thunder Bird. He shot several arrows in succession but still couldn't hit it.
The arrows were shot by the side of the Wind Thunder Bird every time.
After shooting four arrows in succession, the Wind Thunder Bird also flew out of the range of the stone crushing crossbow. Gu Sheng spread his hands helplessly: "This thing is so slippery, I can't shoot it!"
Seeing the Wind Thunder Bird escape, Mu Qingyuan was so angry that smoke came out of his head: "What a waste! You can't even do such a small thing!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Boss, I'm just a blood refining realm. Hitting it once is already a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. You actually still dreamed that I would really shoot the Wind Thunder Bird down for you! If it's really so easy to shoot, why don't you do it yourself?"
When Mu Qingyuan was about to get angry and scold Gu Sheng Mu Qinghe came to him and said: "Brother Yuan, this matter is a bit difficult for him. Now that the wind and thunder bird has escaped, I'm afraid that the people of the Holy Dan Sect will arrive soon. Let's get the iron thunder wood and thunder fruit out and leave! If we are blocked by them, we will be finished!"
Mu Qingyuan glared at Gu Sheng fiercely and said to Gu Sheng and the remaining middle-aged man: "You two stand at the entrance to watch the wind, and tell us as soon as there is any movement!"
Gu Sheng and the middle-aged man looked at each other and silently retreated to the canyon entrance to watch the wind.
After arriving at the canyon entrance, the middle-aged man slowly recovered. He bowed to Gu Sheng and said: "Little brother, thank you for saving my life just now!"
Just now, he had basically lost his ability to move. If Gu Sheng hadn't thrown him away in time, he would probably have been eating with his grandmother at this time.
Gu Sheng waved his hand and smiled, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
Gu Sheng chatted with the middle-aged man here and there, but in fact, most of his attention was on Mu Qingyuan and the other two.
After Mu Qingyuan and the other two approached the big tree, they took out a dagger that looked like jade from their waists. Mu Qingyuan carefully inserted the dagger into the purple-black part of the trunk and slowly pried out the whole piece.
This tree is not all iron thunder wood. Only the piece that has turned purple and black due to the erosion of lightning is iron thunder wood. The rest cannot be used as a material for refining.
This piece of iron thunder wood is not small. After being cut out, it is about 40 centimeters square.
After the iron thunder wood is completely excavated, its entire appearance is revealed to people. There are actually three light golden lines on this piece of iron thunder wood.
"It's actually three-striped iron thunder wood! No wonder the guys from the Shengdan Sect want to keep it here, they are going to use it to raise thunder beads!"
Mu Qingwen and Mu Qinghe also became excited when they saw the three golden lines on the iron thunder wood.
"Brother Yuan! We are rich this time. As long as we bring this three-striped iron thunder wood and those thunder fruits back, the family will definitely reward us. Maybe we can use it to break through to the Silver Bone Realm directly!"
Mu Qingyuan couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, but he didn't get too happy. After a short period of happiness, he hurriedly ordered: "Don't be happy yet, take out the jade box quickly, put it in, take the thunder fruit and leave quickly!"
Mu Qingwen quickly took out a special jade box, put the iron thunder wood in it, and then Mu Qingyuan took out a pair of jade-white gloves and put them on and came to the thunder fruit.
"Tsk tsk! These four thunder fruits can at least refine more than ten thunder tempering pills. As long as the three of us can each get one, it will be a sure thing for us to advance to the Silver Bone Realm!"
Mu Qingyuan suppressed his excitement and picked all four thunder fruits and carefully put them in the jade box.
"Chirp chirp!"
At this time, the cry of the wind and thunder bird suddenly came from the air, but this time it was not difficult to hear that it was very arrogant, and it felt like someone was beaten and came to ask for a fight.
Gu Sheng looked out of the canyon and vaguely saw many figures in the dense forest approaching here quickly.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurried to Mu Qingyuan: "Boss, it seems that someone is coming outside!"
When Mu Qingyuan heard the sound of the wind and thunder bird, he knew that the people from the Holy Pill Sect had arrived.
"Put on the mask and retreat!"
Mu Qingyuan and the other two each took out a mask and put it on, and then they took out a special climbing hook from their waist and put it on the stone crushing crossbow.
"Bang!"
The three of them pulled the trigger of the stone crushing crossbow and shot the climbing hook towards the top of the stone wall. The end of the climbing hook was connected to a long hemp rope. After the climbing hook was fixed, the three of them grabbed the rope and climbed up the mountain wall.
Mu Qingyuan and the other two were very agile, and it was obviously not the first time they did this.
Gu Sheng saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly pulled the rope to climb up. Seeing this, Mu Qingyuan, who was on the rope, immediately took out a knife and cut the rope under him.
The rope broke, and Gu Sheng, who had just climbed a few steps, fell to the ground.
Before Gu Sheng climbed up, Mu Qingyuan stared at Gu Sheng and the middle-aged man fiercely and threatened: "If you dare to reveal our identity, your family and friends will be hunted down by us!"
After that, the few people climbed up like monkeys with the help of the rope. After reaching the top of the mountain, the three of them completely cut the rope and fled.
The mountain wall was almost vertical, and they could not climb up without tools with their cultivation.
Gu Sheng warmly greeted the ancestors of Mu Qingyuan and the other two in his heart.
This canyon has only one entrance, and those people outside are getting closer and closer. In Gu Sheng's perception, there are at least six people in the Bronze Bone Realm.
Even someone as strong as Gu Sheng was not sure he could escape from so many people in the Bronze Bone Realm. He could only greet the parents of Mu Qingyuan and the other two and pray that the people who came would be reasonable.
A few minutes later, six men and one woman rushed into the canyon.
Gu Sheng's perception was correct. The six men were all in the Bronze Bone Realm, and the aura of the leading woman was much stronger than these men, and was not much inferior to the innkeeper's wife. She was obviously a master of the Silver Bone Realm.
The seven people were all wearing the same light yellow robes. There were two rising flames carved out of gold thread on the chest of the robes, and above the flames was a round pill pattern.
The leading woman had a strong aura and a beautiful appearance, but her pretty face was as cold as ice at this time, and there was a strong murderous intent on her body.
The woman didn't even look at Gu Sheng and the middle-aged man, and ran directly to the big tree in the middle and the thunder fruit plant to check. After discovering that the iron thunder wood and the four thunder fruits had all been taken away, she shouted angrily and swung her fist to hit the big tree.
A loud "bang" sound came, and the big tree was actually knocked down by her punch. What's more terrifying is that the place where her fist hit, the trunk directly exploded into shattered wood chips, which shows how powerful her punch was!
"Hiss! What a violent woman!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, and he was also thinking about how to save his life.
The middle-aged man next to Gu Sheng was directly shocked after seeing these seven people.
The middle-aged man was different from Gu Sheng. Although he only had the perfect cultivation of the Blood Refining Realm, he was a native of Chiyun Prefecture. He recognized the clothes these people were wearing!
These people are disciples of the Holy Dan Sect!
"Sister Lin, the bad guys have already fled from the top of the mountain with the stuff, what should we do now?"
The woman's name is Lin Miaomiao, and she is the eldest sister of the outer sect of the War God Peak of the Shengdan Sect.
They had discovered the iron thunder wood and thunder fruit in this canyon a long time ago, and deliberately placed them here to warm them up, preparing to wait for the iron thunder wood and thunder fruit here to completely drain the energy of the mother body before collecting them, but they never thought that they were secretly robbed at this time!
The iron thunder wood here is not an ordinary iron thunder wood, but a three-grain iron thunder wood. If the energy of the mother tree trunk is drained, there is even hope to produce thunder beads! If such an existence is used to refine a weapon, once it succeeds, it will at least be a yellow-grade upper-grade existence!
The value of a yellow-grade upper-grade treasure starts at 5 million taels of silver, plus the four thunder fruits, they suffered a huge loss this time!
Lin Miaomiao's tone was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He looked at the place where Mu Qinghe and the other two escaped and said, "We left the Wind Thunder Bird here to guard it, but we couldn't keep it. This shows that they are very well prepared! Check it for me. I want to see who dares to go against our Shengdan Sect!" The man took the order and left. The other two took Gu Sheng and the middle-aged man to Lin Miaomiao. "Kneel down!" Both of them were in the Bronze Bone Realm. They kicked Gu Sheng on the knee. In order not to expose his strength, he could only fall to the ground. After recognizing the identities of Lin Miaomiao and the others, the middle-aged man didn't need the people of Shengdan Sect to kick him. He just knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Your Excellency is wronged! Your sect's things were really not taken by us. I hope you can spare my life. I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child..."
The middle-aged man cried bitterly while saying the old-fashioned words, hoping to arouse the sympathy of the disciples of Shengdan Sect.
Gu Sheng didn't lose face and do such a shameful thing. He just stayed there and watched the middle-aged man's performance without saying a word, waiting for Lin Miaomiao to speak.
Lin Miaomiao is a Silver Bone Realm cultivator. In order to avoid being exposed, Gu Sheng can only secretly push the Snake Breath Technique to the extreme to deceive her.
Fortunately, the snake breath technique was very powerful, and Lin Miaomiao did not find any clues. She glanced at Gu Sheng and the middle-aged man, frowned slightly, and inserted the scabbard in front of the middle-aged man to stop him from kowtowing.
"Raise your head and talk, I ask you to answer, if you lie, you will be executed without pardon!"
The middle-aged man was so scared that he was sweating profusely. He wiped his tears and snot and bowed to Lin Miaomiao and said, "Sir, please ask as much as you want, as long as I know, I will tell you everything!"
"What's your name? Where are you from? Who are you working for this time?"
Faced with Lin Miaomiao's question, the middle-aged man hurriedly replied, "My lord, my name is Liu Erhu, from Qiandu City in Chiyun Prefecture. My lord, please understand, this mission was issued by the owner of the post station. I came here because I heard that the reward was okay, and I didn't know the identity of the leader!"
Gu Sheng glanced at Liu Erhu inadvertently, and he also had an excuse in his mind.
Mu Qinghe had introduced himself, and Liu Erhu said this because he was obviously afraid that Mu's business would be liquidated later.
Lin Miaomiao drew out his long sword and pointed it at Liu Erhu's neck: "Really don't know?"
Lin Miaomiao slowly exerted force, and the tip of the sword pierced Liu Erhu's skin, and blood oozed out and flowed onto the long sword. At this moment, Liu Erhu felt the breath of death!
Liu Erhu was so scared that he was sweating all over his head. He hurriedly raised his hands and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, please be wise! I really don't know! Not only do we not know the specific identity of the leader, but we don't even know what to do until we come here! If I knew before that they were here to rob the things of the Shengdan Sect, I wouldn't dare to come even if I had ten courage!"
Liu Erhu also said that someone wanted to withdraw and was chopped by Mu Qinghe.
Liu Erhu is indeed an old hand, and he cleared him and Gu Sheng with a few simple words.
Seeing that Liu Erhu didn't want to lie, Lin Miaomiao put the long sword back into the sheath and his eyes fell on Gu Sheng.
Just when Gu Sheng was about to come up with the words he had prepared, the Thunderbird suddenly fell from the sky, came to Lin Miaomiao and chirped, and looked at Gu Sheng with ferocious eyes from time to time.
This series of operations made Gu Sheng a little confused, but in the end when he saw Feng Leiniao showing Lin Miaomiao the wound shot by Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, after Feng Leiniao finished his confession, Lin Miaomiao's eyes turned a little colder when he looked at Gu Sheng.
"I didn't expect that you are still a master and can shoot through the feet of the Thunderbird with your blood refining level cultivation! Do you know that it is my pet?"
Lin Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng with a murderous look in his eyes.
Gu Sheng secretly thought something bad and immediately put on an unreasonable expression on his face: "Sir, this is all a misunderstanding! The people who hired us asked us to use crossbows to suppress your pet. If you disobey, you will be hacked to death. ! They are all masters of the Bronze Bone Realm. As a person in the Blood Refining Realm, I had no choice but to follow their orders. The damn rat accidentally injured your pet, sir, I am wronged!"
Lin Miaomiao snorted coldly: "Oh, it's unfair? The Thunderbird is not an ordinary bird. If you want to shoot it in the foot with a gravel crossbow, this is not something that a blind cat can do if it encounters a dead mouse! I think you are the one. It’s intentional! I, Lin Miaomiao, am not a murderer. If you kill my pet, it’s only fair that I kill you too!”
Lin Miaomiao said that the sword had been unsheathed, the sword was shining with cold light, and the sword's aura was so strong that it almost forced Gu Sheng to reveal his true form.
At this critical moment, Gu Sheng suddenly remembered that Liu Erhu had said that Lin Miaomiao and the others were from the Shengdan Sect!
Gu Sheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, please wait! To be honest, I... my elders have some friendship with the great elder of your sect. I went to Chiyun Mansion this time to find the great elder and find someone who can join your sect. If you have a chance, please spare me for the sake of the great elder!"
"Huh? Does your family have a relationship with the great elder? Then let me ask you, where are you from and what is your name?"
Gu Sheng thought for a moment and Ge Qing was also in Canghe County anyway, so he said: "Sir, my name is Gu Sheng and I am from Canghe County."
Lin Miaomiao frowned when she heard this. She knew that Canghe County was a small county on the edge of Chiyun Mansion with poor resources. In their eyes, it was a place where nothing could be done.
"How could the Great Elder have an old acquaintance in such a remote place?"
Lin Miaomiao was a little confused, but then she thought about how many poor relatives the emperor had, and she was in a dilemma for a while. (End of chapter)
