The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Li Muchen bent down to pick up the beads and observed them in his palm.

This bead is smooth and water-smooth, emitting a soft light, as if a flame is wrapped in a glass shell.

This is the Yinlong Pill, also known as the Demon Pill.

This Yin dragon's cultivation has already gained considerable momentum, and it must have been underground for hundreds of years.

If you don't come out to eat people and practice well, you may not be able to transform into a dragon in the future, and you will become a real dragon after passing through the tribulation.

Generally, demons stay away from the human world, and practitioners will not care about them. If they encounter them, they will turn a blind eye.

Once a demon appears in a place where humans thrive, most practitioners will kill it.

It's just because animals' spiritual intelligence is basically half-activated, and most of their actions are based on instinct. If there are demons, they will be extremely harmful to the human world.

Like the hedgehog in Wutongju, his cultivation is far from that of this Yin dragon, but his spiritual intelligence is developed enough that he is almost the same as a human. This is extremely rare. Maybe the current cultivation level is slightly low, but the upper limit will definitely be high in the future. This was one of the reasons why Li Muchen was willing to take Bai Jingjing in.

The demon pill is a treasure and has many uses. The first thing to do is to swallow it and digest the power of the soul condensed on it.

Of course, this is a bit wasteful, because human cultivation is different from that of demons. The power of the Yuanling that can be absorbed first and foremost is very limited. For ordinary people, it is almost less than one out of ten.

But if you add compatibility and make other elixirs, it will be completely different. Not only is the absorption effect better, but it can also be used by ordinary people.

The Yin Dragon is full of treasures. In addition to the demon elixir, there are also dragon skin, dragon tendons, dragon bones, dragon teeth, dragon scales, etc., which can be used as medicine and can also be used to refine magic weapons.

Li Muchen peeled off the python's skin, stretched its tendons, pulled out a few python teeth, and put them all away together with the demon pill.

Then he walked over and picked up Taoist Ling Xiao's sword from the pile of rocks.

When I got it in my hand, I discovered that the sword was not made of metal, but made of lightning-struck peach wood. It must be the Tianshi Sword.

It's probably because a person's words are good when he is about to die. What Ling Xiao said before his death seems to be true.

Longhu Mountain focuses on talisman cultivation and does not teach swordsmanship, but the Heavenly Master holds a sword.

The Celestial Master's use of swords is different from that of the Sword Immortal lineage. He does not maintain the sword by himself, nor does he combine with the original god of the sword. The power to drive the sword still comes from the talisman.

On this sword, there is the spirit of the Heavenly Master from generation to generation, passed down through the Heavenly Master Talisman.

Therefore, the Celestial Master Sword is also a symbol of the Dragon and Tiger Celestial Master.

I didn't expect that this sword would be on Taoist Lingxiao's body.

The person who could steal the Tianshi Sword from Longhu Mountain must have been the closest disciple of the Tianshi.

Unfortunately, Ling Xiao's magic power is too weak, and the power of this sword is greatly reduced. Even so, it was difficult enough for Li Muchen to block the sword.

At this time, the Tianshi Sword was contaminated by the snake's blood, the sword spirit was not revealed, and it was dim and dull. It was just an ordinary wooden sword.

Li Muchen lightly touched the sword with his fingers, and a faint layer of black air appeared, which evaporated in a moment.

When the black energy dissipated, the sword's aura reappeared.

The mahogany sword has no scabbard and is usually kept in a sword box.

The sword box is next to the extinguished bonfire.

Li Muchen put the sword back into the sword case.

The sword was of no use to him, but Ling Xiao's final words formed a bond with him. As for whether to send it back to Longhu Mountain, that's not necessarily the case. Anyway, we'll put it away first.

Back outside Yinlongtan, Jiao Shiniang and Liao Tianxing were waiting anxiously, and of course Jiao Laosan next to them.

Seeing Li Muchen coming out, Jiao Shiniang was surprised and happy. She almost rushed over. She tripped over a rock and almost ran into Li Muchen's arms.

Li Muchen supported her: "Sister, are you okay?"

Jiao Shiniang's face turned slightly red and she said, "I'm fine, Mr. Li, how's it going inside?"

Li Muchen said: "It's okay. The Taoist priest who called himself Ling Xiao was eaten by the Yin Dragon, so he deserved his death."

Jiao Shiniang was startled when she heard this. She looked at Li Muchen and reached out to touch his face. When she realized that she shouldn't, she hurriedly retracted and said worriedly: "Then you are not hurt, are you?"

"I'm fine." Li Muchen smiled at her.

Only then did Jiao Shiniang feel relieved.

Li Muchen then looked at Jiao Laosan.

Jiao Laosan's face trembled, he laughed a few times, and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Li, for saving my life just now."

Liao Tianxing said angrily: "Jiao Laosan, what are you being hypocritical about? Didn't you just say that Young Master Li was either eaten by Yin Dragon or killed by Ling Xiao? Now that Young Master Li has come out, you should give up your luck. I I advise you to tell me honestly, how did Mr. Jiao fall ill?"

Jiao Laosan said with a grimace: "It really has nothing to do with me. He fell suddenly while walking that day and had a stroke. If I hadn't sent him to the hospital, he would have... Why do you still blame me?"

Li Muchen sneered and said, "Mr. Liao, you don't need to ask him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't tell. When I bring Master Jiao back to life, the truth will naturally come out."

Then he looked at Jiao Laosan and said, "I saved you just now, but it seems that my rescue was in vain. It would be better to send you back and feed you to Yinlong."

Jiao Laosan turned pale with fright, his whole body was trembling, and his teeth were chattering.

"No, please spare my life, young master. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

By this time, Jiao Laosan also knew that he could no longer hide it. The only way to survive is to wait for Jiao Yebai to wake up, and maybe let him go for the sake of his brother.

"Tell me, why do you want to harm my dad?" Jiao Shiniang raised her eyebrows and asked.

"It's really not me who caused your father's death!" Jiao Laosan said.

"How dare you quibble!" Liao Tianxing rushed forward and grabbed Jiao Laosan by the collar.

"No, no, no, you heard about me!"

Jiao Laosan then hurriedly told the whole story.

It turns out that there is a legend in the Jiao family for generations. It is said that the ancestors of the Jiao family were once meritorious ministers of a certain dynasty and accumulated countless treasures in their lives. However, due to their great achievements, they were jealous and knew that they would die, so they buried the treasures in advance. and deep in the mountains, leaving behind a treasure map for future generations.

The descendants of the Jiao family have all heard of this legend, but no one takes it seriously. It is just something to talk about after dinner.

Because after searching through the dynasties, no so-called meritorious minister with enough strength to be jealous of the emperor could be found.

Without this premise, the subsequent story would naturally not hold true.

But Jiao Laosan always believed that this was true.

Later he discovered that there was something wrong with the Jiao family's ancestral tomb.

The ancestors of the Jiao family were not in Xuancheng, and they moved here later. It is said that they were to avoid disaster.

The place we moved to was very strange. At that time, this place was very remote and had no connection with the outside world. And it is surrounded by mountains and there is very little arable land. In ancient times, it was impossible for a large family to move to a place like this.

The location of the ancestral tomb has excellent Feng Shui. Many Feng Shui masters have said that there is a symbol of dragon rising here.

This is probably the only acceptable reason to move here.

So he made a bold guess that underneath the cemetery was the place where the treasure was hidden.

The ancestor of the Jiao family who moved here may have found the place where the treasure was hidden based on the treasure map and dug out the treasure, so that the Jiao family could prosper in Xuancheng.

Then they built a tomb on top to hide it from others.

But this convinced Jiao Laosan that there were treasures underground.

So, he excitedly told Jiao Yebai about this discovery.

Because to excavate treasures, the ancestral graves must be disturbed, and only Jiao Yebai, the head of the family, can make the decision.

But Jiao Yebai first rejected his proposal, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiao Laosan was so angry that he began to fight with Jiao Yebai for the position of the head of the family, both covertly and covertly.

Since then, the relationship between the two has become increasingly tense.

Two years ago, Jiao Laosan met Taoist Qingxuan.

Qingxuan saw the ingenious formations and mechanism arrangements in the Jiao family's ancestral tomb, and coupled with Jiao Laosan's guess about the underground palace, he concluded that there was a passage to the underground palace.

"Just when we were about to crack the mechanism, my eldest brother somehow found out about it."

When Jiao Laosan said this, he sighed.

"I just found out that my eldest brother actually knew about the underground palace a long time ago. He said that the secrets hidden in the underground palace are of great importance. They have been passed down orally and not written down by the heads of the family for generations. He warned me that I must not open the underground palace before the time comes, otherwise I will be anxious. The family will become a sinner through the ages.”
