The Gate of the Genkai

Transfer order

On this day, Shi Mu was concentrating on drawing talismans in the stone room of the stronghold, when there was a knock on 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 a talisman to be made, but it turned out that Jin Chen’s burly figure was standing outside the door.

“Senior brother Jin, why come to my younger brother when you have time?” Shi Mu let Jin Chen into the room, and asked suspiciously.

Jin Chen glanced around in Shi Mu’s room, and landed on the stone table. On it was a stack of talisman papers, talisman ink, magic brushes, etc., and a few completed ones. symbol.

“Junior Brother Shi is really hardworking, and he doesn’t rest during the recovery period.” Jin Chen laughed, but didn’t immediately explain why he came.

“Senior brother, you are joking. I am just recovering from my wounds and I am bored, so I forged some talismans as backup.” Shi Mu smiled slightly.Jin Chen took a few talismans that Shi Mu had just refined, and looked at them carefully.

“The talisman strokes refined by Junior Brother Shi are smooth, full of spiritual power, and have a very high success rate. Even some talisman masters of the spiritual rank may not be able to do it. It is a pity that people in this stronghold can no longer enjoy it.” Jin Chen sighed, somewhat said regretfully.

“What’s the meaning of Senior Brother Jin’s words?” Shi Mu’s expression changed.

“Hehe, I just received a transfer order from the alliance to transfer Junior Brother Shi to a stronghold in the northeast. I happened to have nothing to do, so I sent it here myself.” Jane, handed it to Shi Mu.

Shi Mu was startled, took the jade slip, and probed in with his spiritual sense.

Inside was indeed a transfer order signed by the alliance, asking him to report to a secret stronghold in Xuanling Mountain within ten days, and a map was attached at the back, marking the location of that stronghold.

After watching it, Shi Mu was overjoyed.

Judging from the map, that stronghold is quite far behind, far away from the current front battlefield, and relatively safer.

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

“Senior brother Laojin is here. The younger brother should obey the alliance’s dispatch, and set off in two days.” Shi Mu put away the jade slips and said with cupped hands.

“Before that, Jin hoped that Junior Brother Shi could do me a little favor.” Jin Chen looked distressed. After hesitating for a moment, he said.

“Senior brother Jin has something to say, but it’s okay to say it. If there is something within his ability, he will definitely help.” Shi Mu replied without thinking.

“Well, Mr. Jin would like to thank Junior Brother on behalf of the other people in the stronghold. Junior Brother Shi also knows that the current frontline battle is tense. The requirements for talismans are quite high. Jin hopes that Junior Brother Shi will refine another batch of talismans. Originally, I planned to wait I will talk about this matter after my junior brother is healed, but it seems that if I don’t mention it now, I’m afraid it will be too late. I have brought the list of symbols and materials, and as for meritorious service, it will be 50% more than before.” Jin Chen She arched her hands, and then took out a jade slip, a stack of talisman papers, and several colorful spirit stones from her bosom. Put them together on the stone table.

“If this is the case, brother, don’t worry, Shi Mu will definitely live up to his mission.” Shi Mu smiled and said in full agreement.

He still has a good impression of the calm and fair leader of the stronghold in front of him, and with the extra meritorious rewards and the ability to contact Talisman, he will naturally not refuse.

Hearing this, Jin Chen was naturally overjoyed and thanked repeatedly, and left immediately knowingly.

Ten days later, deep in the Xuanling Mountains.

At the foot of a steep mountain thousands of feet high. A tall and burly young man in a black blouse was standing on top of a big rock, looking around and frowning slightly.

This person is Shi Mu.

He found this place according to the map in the jade slip. But after wandering around here for a while, no one came out to greet him.

“The entrance of the stronghold here should also be covered up by the formation, do you want me to find it myself?” Shi Mu was a little speechless in his heart.

His current cultivation in the formation method is still shallow, and it is not easy to see through an illusion formation.

But he is not completely helpless.

Shi Mu jumped down from the boulder, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils turned golden in a flash. Look towards the surrounding ground.

After a while, he squatted down on a piece of dead grass, and a vague footprint could be seen on the ground, which should have been washed away a long time ago or by the rain, so it was almost invisible.

Shi Mu smiled.

Although this footprint is shallow, it cannot escape his spiritual eyes. To him at this moment, this footprint is like a giant elephant stepping hard on the ground, it is huge and clear.

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

Although the traces left on some rocks or hard ground are very shallow and sometimes unrecognizable, they still quickly found the direction to go and tracked it all the way.

The further forward, the more obvious the remaining traces, and they all lead in one direction, Shi Mu’s heart suddenly settled down.

After a while, he stood in front of a mountain wall, and all traces disappeared here.

He dispersed the golden light in his eyes, carefully looked at the stone wall in front of him, touched it lightly with his hand, and suddenly sank into it.

“Sure enough.” Shi Mu nodded and retracted his arm.

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

“You are Shi Mu from the Black Demon Sect, right? Welcome to the Rat’s Nest, under the Miaoyinzong Qingfeng.” The green-robed man looked at Shi Mu with a smile and said.

“I’m Shi Mu, and I have Senior Brother Lao Qing.” Shi Mu took out his alliance identity token and the transfer order jade slip from his arms.

“Come in.” Qingfeng didn’t reach out to pick it up, but stepped aside, motioning 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 felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and he was already standing in a spacious corridor leading to the ground, and the man in green robe stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Shi Mu’s eyes were fixed, but he only felt that there was a black hole in front of him, and he didn’t know how to extend it.how far.

“Junior Brother Shi was able to find this place on his own. It’s really extraordinary, and he deserves to be strongly recommended by Elder Jin.” Qingfeng said with a chuckle.

“Recommend Elder Jin” Shi Mu was stunned, and his footsteps stopped.

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

“How come Junior Brother Shi doesn’t know where this place is?”

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

“It seems that Junior Brother Shi really doesn’t know, well, let me give you a general explanation. In fact, this is not an ordinary stronghold, but a talisman making stronghold of the alliance.” Qingfeng glanced at Shi Mu with some surprise , After a long while, he said slowly.

“Character Stronghold”

Shi Mu was taken aback when he heard this.

“Now that the battle situation is getting tighter, in order to cope with the large demand for low-level talismans on the front line, the alliance has brought together elite talisman masters from various factions to temporarily form this talisman-making base. Junior Brother Shi’s talisman-making talent has been known by some high-level officials , and Elder Jin Xiaochai of the Guizong strongly recommended you to come here.” Qingfeng said while leading the way.

Shi Mu frowned upon hearing this.

He and Jin Xiaochai only met once when they first started, and they have never seen each other since. It is not a blessing or a curse that such a congenital elder pays so much attention to him.

Thoughts were churning in his mind, and he silently followed behind Qingfeng.

The two walked for about half an hour, and came to the end of the passage, and a stone door appeared in front of them.

Qingfeng turned his hand and took out a palm-sized white jade with some runes engraved on it. After a slight shake, a white light flew out and sank into the stone gate.

Ka Ka

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

A huge hall with a radius of more than one hundred feet appeared in front of Shi Mu. Hundreds of people walked around in it.

The space of the giant hall is like pill furnaces, with raging flames burning underneath. There are two or three people waiting beside each pill furnace, putting various ores, materials, and even animal skins and bones into the furnaces from time to time.

Shi Mu recognized that these furnaces were not pill furnaces for alchemy, but talisman furnaces for making talisman paper.

A big man guarding the furnace poured some viscous blue liquid from the furnace, and carefully poured it into the square molds next to it.

The liquid cooled rapidly, and soon condensed into a brand new piece of blue talisman paper, which was carefully collected by the people next to it.

There are forty or fifty talisman stoves in the hall, and they keep producing sheets of talisman papers of various colors.

“Let’s go.” The green-robed man waited for Shi Mu to look at it for a while, and then walked towards the other side of the hall.

The handymen guarding the stove and making talismans in the hall were quite in awe of Qingfeng, and saluted him one after another, and cast curious eyes on Shi Mu who was walking behind.

Qingfeng ignored these people, and quickly led Shi Mu out of the hall, through a long passage.

From time to time, some closed stone chambers can be seen beside the passage, and I don’t know what they are used for.

After a while, the two came to a large stone gate again.

“The hall just now was just a place where some labor slaves made talisman paper. This is the hall where the elite talisman masters of various factions are located. You are a newcomer, you can ask other people for advice when you are new here.” Qingfeng said, flipping his hands Taking out the white jade, a ray of white light entered the stone gate, and the stone gate opened slowly.

Inside the door is a rather open hall. The ceiling of the hall is in the shape of a circular arc, and a white chandelier hangs down every few feet, emitting a milky white light, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

There are large stone tables in the hall, filled with all kinds of talisman papers, magic brushes, magic ink and so on.

There are twenty or thirty such stone tables, and almost every stone table has one person sitting, some are busy drawing symbols, and some are gathered in groups of twos and threes, discussing something in a low voice.

There are several separate rooms around, except for the one closest to the exit, all of which have closed doors.

At one end of the hall, a huge white jade wall was erected, and lines of characters appeared on it, which seemed to be the task of making talismans one by one.

When most people saw the two coming in, they just glanced at them. Occasionally, one or two people nodded to Qingfeng, and then continued to be busy with their own affairs. To be continued. :
