Retired shadow guard's guide to raising cubs

Mu Jinnian and Bai Yu traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the gate of Qingyun School outside Yongkang City.

The two disciples who were guarding the gate came forward to greet them, cupping their fists and saluting, one of them asked: "Why are you two seniors coming to my Qingyun sect?"

Bai Yu returned the gift: "I have accepted the task of sealing the demon issued by your sect, and I am here to pay a special visit."

Hearing this, the two of them were overjoyed, and the disciple who asked the question turned his head and said: "Junior Brother, go and tell Master, someone has exposed our Demon Sealing List."

When the younger brother left in a hurry, he made a "please" gesture with a smile, and explained as he led the way: "You two don't know, since the demon fox Yingyue came to Yongkang City, my Qingyun faction has lost three inner sects. Disciple, the head of the sect is at a loss and has no choice but to publish the list of demon seals. I don’t think it’s only a few days before a senior reveals the list. It’s my Qingyun’s blessing.”

Mu Jinnian had always been impatient with such polite words, and now he deliberately took a few steps behind, rubbing the hilt of his superb spirit sword.

Bai Yu quietly glanced at his friend, and in exchange for a nonchalant shrug, he was not surprised at all, and stepped forward with a decent smile on his face: "I don't deserve such praise. Slaying demons and demons is our responsibility. Now that you see it, you must do your best. For the matter of eliminating the demon, you need to ask the Qingyun faction to help you."

"Young master, you are young and talented, why should you be humble." Bai Yu just finished speaking, and a slightly old voice continued.

The disciple who led the way hastily bowed down to salute: "I have met the master."

Mu Jinnian and Bai Yu looked at each other, and they looked up together.

On the stone steps not far away, a person came slowly.He was dressed in Taoist robes, his beard and hair were white, his face was old but his steps were steady, the words just now came from his mouth.

"I've seen Master Qingyun." Mu Jinnian and the two saluted slightly.

"You two don't need to be too polite, please come inside."

A group of people came to the reception room, sat down in order of priority, and some disciples offered tea.

Mu Jinnian cut to the chase: "After so many days, I don't know if Qingyun Sect has any news about Shadow Moon?"

Sect Master Qingyun sighed: "Oh, to be honest with you two, the Shadow Moon Demon Fox has repeatedly attacked my disciples, but it came and went without a trace, and its ability to hide is first-rate. I can't even track it myself. He stayed, and accidentally hurt him. It was really a last resort, so he issued the Demon Sealing List."

In other words, what they did on this trip was useless?

Bai Yu frowned slightly: "Just now I heard disciple Qingyun once said that your sect lost three disciples, and I don't know where their bodies are now? Can you let me wait to find out?"

"Of course." Master Qingyun personally led the way for the two, "The bodies of those disciples are all parked in the quiet room and have never been buried."

He lifted off the white sheet covering the corpse, revealing three miserable and lifeless faces: "It's been so long, and the only news I found is that the demon fox turns into a beautiful woman. Absorb the soul to replenish myself. My disciple is firm in mind, and I was never bewitched by her, but unexpectedly provoked the vicious fox, until my disciple died..."

Speaking of the sad part, the head of the sect turned his head and covered his face, unable to calm down for a long time: "... I also hope that the two young masters will help me, Qingyun, to kill the demon fox as soon as possible, so that my disciples can rest in peace."

"I'll do my best." Bai Yu replied.

"In this way, there are two gentlemen. If there is any need, the two young masters can tell you. After the matter is completed, my Qingyun sect will definitely thank you."

"The master's words are serious."

After seeing off the head of Qingyun, Bai Yu asked Mu Jinnian who was leaning over to observe the wound: "What did you find?"

Mu Jinnian looked at the three of them one by one, touched his chin and said, "It's hard to say about the other two, but Ah Yu, look at this."

He pointed to the corpse beside him: "This injury is different from others. He died from a water spell attack. He should be the disciple of Master Qingyun. The temperature in this room is extremely low, which is convenient for storing the corpse and slows down the rate of wound decay. Looking at the condition of the wound, I deduce that his death time will not exceed ten days."

Bai Yu was quite surprised: "You can even see this?"

"I also heard from Mo Ran." Mu Jinnian's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his hands to pinch the joints of the upper limbs of the corpse, "Under normal temperature, within one to two days after death, the body will slowly become rigid from soft, And it will reach its peak at 24 hours, and then it will regain softness until the stiffness of the body disappears completely. This process takes about 4 to 5 days. At low temperatures, the entire process will take twice as long..."

It was rare for Mu Jinnian to speak at length, and then he suddenly realized that he had said a lot, but none of it was the point.

It's just... Seeing Bai Yu's amazed eyes, Mu Jinnian quietly raised the corners of his lips, and then suppressed them with a coughing motion.

He definitely didn't go astray because he wanted to show off what he learned from Moran... Absolutely not!

While Bai Yu didn't notice, Mu Jinnian changed the subject: "Mo Ran also said that for a certain period of time, the body of a person killed by a spiritual technique will retain the spiritual power of the caster. Feishuangmu, who is far away from Mu's house, The snow is very close, the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth is strong, and the spiritual energy of the corpse dissipates very slowly..."

Bai Yu was thoughtful: "In other words, there is Shadow Moon's spiritual power in the wound of this corpse."

"That's it." Mu Jinnian smiled like a fox who stole a chicken, "It just so happened that Mo Ran gave me a spiritual technique, which can track down the owner's location based on spiritual power."

"Thanks for having Ah Nian here." Seeing his friend with "please praise" written all over his face, Bai Yu smiled with dignity and praised him.

Feishuang Muxue, Mu family.

Mu Yi made many detours along the way, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, he brought Wang Erniu to an ordinary stone house, and told him to wait outside, while he took the roster that recorded the origin of Wang Erniu's name. After entering the house, he came out after a short time and left.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, why did you leave me alone?" Wang Erniu didn't finish his sentence, he could only look at Mu Yi's leaving back, standing there at a loss.

Fortunately, a voice came from the room immediately: "Wang Erniu, come in."

Wang Erniu obediently pushed the door open and went in.

This seems to be a study room, the room is not big, and the books alone take up a lot of space.There was a man sitting on the only chair in the room. He looked about 40 to [-] years old. He was wearing a dark blue dress with a white stripe embroidered on the cuffs and collar. He had a Chinese character face and looked difficult to get along with.

The standing one has a majestic crown, a calm breath, and is younger.He bowed his head and stood beside the other person, looking at Wang Erniu with a smile from the corner of his eyes.

These two people, no matter in terms of clothing or demeanor, are far from being comparable to Wang Erniu who came out of the remote mountains.

He stood cautiously in the room, not daring to move his feet, afraid of stepping on the dirty floor, not daring to glance around, only daring to circle around the ground in front of his heels, clutching his cuffs with both hands, his waist straightened unconsciously straight.

"Wang Erniu, 31 years old, is from Wangjia Village, Siming City. There is still a brother and sister-in-law at home. He is the fifth floor of the Qi refining stage, casual cultivator, am I right?" Guozi asked Wang Erniu, staring at Wang Erniu's face. .

Wang Erniu was so questioned that his heart trembled, and he couldn't even speak clearly: "Yes, yes, it's me, me, little man."

"Hehe." The person standing quietly on the side couldn't hold back for a moment, chuckled out loud, and he comforted in a slow voice, "Don't be nervous, it's just a routine identity verification. Don't look at Chief Li's serious face, it's been a long time You can know, he, he just looks fierce."

"Yes yes yes." Wang Erniu nodded again and again, his body relaxed a little.

The man said again: "My name is Qian Yue, and I'm in charge. You can come and talk to me about any problems you encounter in your life in the future. This is Li Yongli, the chief of your office."

Wang Erniu greeted cautiously: "Hello, Chief Li." To be honest, he was still a little timid towards this informal chief.

Qian Yue corrected him helplessly: "It's right to say 'I have met Chief Li'... Forget it, I think you are simple and honest, and these etiquettes are probably not clear. How about this, I will arrange a roommate for you, Let him teach you."

After confirming his identity, Qian Yue took Wang Erniu to receive his identity token, bodyguard clothing, standard weapons, and some personal items, and finally took him to his future residence.

"You are now the first-class patrolling guard of the Mu family. According to the regulations, there is a room for two people. The person who lives with you is Zhang Wu. The person who lived with him just left a while ago, and this room was vacant. He is a human being. Enthusiasm, you can ask him if you don't understand anything. Take a good rest today, and someone will call you tomorrow morning, so don't miss the hour. "

Wang Erniu grinned, showing a row of neat teeth: "Hey, I remember, don't worry, Mr. Qian."

So when Zhang Wu came back in the evening, he saw a strong man sitting at the only table in the house, holding a piece of bread and eating deliciously.

Thinking of Manager Qian's orders during the day, he tentatively called out: "Wang Erniu?"

"It's me." Wang Erniu pulled Zhang Wu to sit down at the table, took out a cake from his bag, and handed it to him, "Brother has been busy all day, come, eat cake. This is my sister-in-law Well done, thick and firm, top-filling."

Zhang Wu didn't believe it when Guanshi Qian said that this man was a big fool. Who doesn't have any little thoughts in his heart?

Now, looking at the pie in front of him that was bigger than his head, he believed it a little bit.

"I just ate, I'm not hungry." Zhang Wu pushed away the cake, took out a few steamed buns he brought back from his arms, and handed them back to Wang Erniu, "These are meat buns made by the canteen tonight. , I specially brought you a few, you can try it."

Seeing Wang Erniu eating the bun, Zhang Wu asked him, "Where is Brother Wang from?"

"I'm from Wangjia Village, Siming City." He was asked many times in a day, and Wang Erniu answered fluently this time.

I have heard about Si Ming City, but it is not the towns around Feishuang Muxue, that is to say, it is a place lacking in spiritual power.Zhang Wu thought of Wang Erniu's cultivation of the fifth level of Qi Refining, so he paid more attention to him.

He himself was born in Yongkang City, and the conditions are much better than Siming City, so he can qualify for the sixth level of Qi Refining.

This Wang Erniu is not easy.

"Si Ming City... is quite far from here. It's not easy to come here, is it?"

Wang Erniu thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "Except for the fact that I met a few beasts on the road and wanted to eat me, and I killed them to eat meat, it's nothing. It's just that I don't know my brother's skinning skills, so I wasted a few good cards. skin."

......

Zhang Wu rolled his eyes with his back to Wang Erniu.What kind of peerless idiot is this?Too plain?

At this moment, after Wang Erniu finished eating the buns, he reached out and patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder: "You give me food, you are my brother. If you need any help from me in the future, just tell me, and I will definitely help."

"...I've made a note. Brother Wang, it's getting late, I'll take you to wash up. Rest early today, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"I'm coming right now."

After a lot of tossing, when Zhang Wu was actually lying on the bed, it was already half an hour later than usual.

The monk's physique is indeed good, but Zhang Wu is exhausted from the heavy patrol tasks during the day, and coupled with the pleasantries with Wang Erniu, he is so tired that he just wants to fall asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear: "...Break your soul!"

Zhang Wu couldn't even make a single effort, and fell into a complete coma.

The author has something to say: The inference about the death time of the corpse is based on the information on the Internet plus a little bit of my own nonsense. Just watch it for fun, please don't take it seriously.
