On the top floor of the building, in a separate luxurious room, Wu Ming sat cross-legged. When he heard the knock on the door, he gently tapped the jade plaque on the side. Top 23S.
Fastest update
The kitten jumped into the sac in a flash!
Buzz!
Light and shadow flow, the jade plaque is dented, and the door opens automatically!
"Mr. Ming, the commander asked me to inform you that the treasure ship will dock at Heiyafang City next to Lao Crow Nest for half a day. If you want to go out for a walk, remember the time!"
A tall young man stood by the door and bowed his hands.
"Thank you, Commander Liu, for me. I won't go to the market. I will be in my room at any dangerous place I pass by in the future!"
Wu Ming thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"yes!"
The young man did not stay long and simply closed the door and left.
Wu Ming got up and walked to the round table in the room to sit down and read a thick book.
There are pictures and texts on it, which record in detail the places passed from Songyang City to Songshan Mountain.
Not only are there various dangerous places, there are also many mountain cities, towns, small sects, gangs and other forces formed based on them!
"Old Crow's Nest, Stone Thorn Forest, Wild Boar Slope, just to get to Songyang Academy, you have to pass through at least three dangerous places. This is a safe business road that walks almost in a straight line. Around the academy, there are countless dangerous places, and even dangerous places, and desperate places.
.
After that, you will pass through three dangerous places including Wuyaoping, Huaiyang Valley, and Jinli Gorge before reaching Songshan Mountain!
The mountains and rivers are far away, but thousands of miles are just the beginning. The ancients will not deceive me!"
Although he has seen it many times, Wu Ming can't help but sigh every time he visits these dangerous places that are extremely dangerous for the human race.
The so-called dangerous place is the spiritual realm where after the sinking of the Shenzhou Continent, the spiritual energy surged, causing the landform to change and animals and birds to mutate!
There are not only dangerous places in the spiritual realm, but also dangerous places, desperate places!
For example, the Baichuan Mountains that Wu Ming had visited before was an open-air and dangerous place!
Firstly, the area is too large; secondly, there are few special treasures produced; thirdly, the monsters from all over the world have rarely harmed ordinary humans, so they have not been banned by the imperial court!
But the spiritual realms of dangerous places such as Old Crow's Nest, Stone Thorn Forest, and Wild Boar Slope are different. They are dangerous places with natural isolation after the spiritual energy surges, forming spiritual energy cliffs!
There are monsters running rampant inside, and there are a lot of treasures, but they are isolated by the spiritual energy barrier and imprisoned by special powers, making it impossible to go out!
It's just that outsiders can use rune formations or other special methods to sneak in through weak places in the spiritual energy wall!
Because its output was extremely rich, many warrior settlements appeared, which are commonly known as Fangshi!
There are also imperial courts, sects or aristocratic families who have settled in it, and they can source materials nearby, exchange them, buy and sell them, and so on!
Of course, there are also spiritual realms that are individually imprisoned by powerful forces and become their own back garden for cultivating core disciples and cultivating treasures!
However, this practice has always been criticized by casual cultivators, and several wars have even broken out due to this.
Although the casual cultivators basically failed, the losses caused over time were too great. Every time powerful forces such as sects opened up the restricted spiritual realm, they would allocate a certain number of quotas to the casual cultivators within their own sphere of influence.
Even so, most of them have nothing to do with casual cultivators. After all, there are still small forces such as the imperial court, large and small aristocratic families, gangs, etc. that rely on the sect to survive.
After being apportioned, there is not much left, and the conflict is still acute!
It’s just that the sect was so powerful that the casual cultivators couldn’t survive, so an organization similar to the rogue cultivator alliance was formed to counter the sect’s power!
But people's hearts are not enough. Once they have power, ambition will grow, and I don't know how many people have to pay a bloody price for it!
"Although the Loose Cultivator Alliance seems to be able to compete with the top sects, it is ultimately a private organization and is not on the same level as the official organization!
Moreover, there is only one alliance, but I don’t know how many top sects there are. It seems that I need to consider which sects are suitable for me to practice!"
The closer he got to Shaolin Temple, the harder it became for Wu Ming to calm down.
Whether it is the shock caused by the appearance of Bi Qingquan, the elder of the Nine Bags of the Beggar Clan, or for the future progress of martial arts, we need a sect with sufficient resources and strong enough strength to rely on!
It's like the difference between self-taught and systematic training!
The former has existed in the Li Dynasty throughout the ages, but only I know the hardships involved!
Systematic training is different. It not only has complete infrastructure and teachers, but also has the experience summarized by countless generations of sages!
This alone is enough to make Wu Mingshao take countless detours!
Take Wu Ming himself as an example. The fighting instinct he developed makes him almost as good at fighting as he was born in this life!
Although the Shaolin Temple is one of the few supreme forces among the top sects, it has no chance of reaching Buddhism and Taoism!
Even though there is also a Bodhidharma Academy that trains warrior monks, 99% of young practitioners need the assistance of Buddhism in order to be successful in their practice!
If the Buddha had not imparted the "Yi Jin Jing" through the technique of initiation in Tianlao, it would have taken many years just to comprehend it.
Not to mention trying to obtain the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra"!
…
Half a day passed by in a flash, the treasure ship shook slightly and continued on its way.
Except for the Old Crow's Nest Spirit Realm, which he saw from a distance in front of the window and was enveloped by a light black curtain, Wu Ming spent the rest of the time practicing in his room.
He didn't even ask for three meals a day, and only ate the rice marrow pills he brought.
Even though the people who came to deliver the meal were Liu Zhenhai's confidants, they were still declined by Wu Ming.
Even if martial arts is not an ascetic practice, it is definitely not unnecessary to be careful when you are away from home!
After many days of sailing without incident, the hull of the ship suddenly shook slightly, and a dull buzzing sound came into the room, causing Wu Ming to suddenly open his eyes!
"Huh? My room is protected by a formation, and generally no movement will come in. Calculating the time, it should not be in the Stone Thorn Forest!
This movement doesn’t sound like someone is using force, but rather…”
Wu Ming lowered his eyes and thought deeply. Before he could clear his mind, there was a sudden knock on the door.
After confirming who is coming, knock on the jade sign and open the door.
"Master Ming, have you ever been disturbed by anyone else?"
Liu Zhenhai's confidant, young Liu Wu, who was also his adopted son, stood at the door and looked inward with a somewhat nervous expression.
"No one ever came!"
Wu Ming answered truthfully.
"That's good. Mr. Ming, please rest peacefully and resign!"
Liu Wu's eyes wandered around the room, making sure that no one was there, and reached out to close the door.
"Wait a minute, what happened?"
Wu Ming called.
"This... the commander said that Young Master Ming is not an outsider, so I'll just say it!
A regular customer who had cooperated with Guangyuan Zhai for many years died inexplicably on the ship.
My adoptive father searched the entire ship, and no one registered in the ship was missing, and the cargo was not reduced at all!"
Liu Wu hesitated for a moment, then entered the door again and came one by one.
Speaking of excitement, even the name Liu Zhenhai was changed into a private one, which shows that his mood fluctuated greatly!
Thinking about it, it was true that a man who was innately powerful, and was on a treasure ship under his own control, and was covered by a formation shield when sailing, actually let people kill the ship's passengers, and even the shadow of the perpetrator was not found!
Where to put this face?
"I see!"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, probably because Liu Zhenhai was angry.
"My foster father told me to tell you not to leave the room. The murderer must still be on the boat!"
Liu Wu said worriedly.
"Well, I know!"
Wu Ming nodded.
After speaking, Liu Wu exited the room.
"According to the level of this treasure ship, the formation shield cannot be easily broken by at least the innately powerful, and the presence of the talisman must be detected. Everyone who gets on the ship will be photographed first. If you want to hide the formation, at least
You also need to have special treasures or a cultivation level above that of a master.
But from what I heard, the client's cultivation level was not very high. To kill such a person, there was absolutely no need to dispatch such strong men.
Since Liu Zhenhai is so sure, the perpetrator is probably probably on the boat!"
In the quiet room, Wu Ming pondered for a long time, his eyes flashed slightly without knowing what he was thinking of, and he suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.
…
"Mr. Ming, why did you come out?"
Liu Wu, who was searching everywhere, suddenly met Wu Ming and stepped forward nervously.
Although Wu Ming's true identity is not known, both shopkeeper Sun and Liu Zhenhai have made it clear that they must take Wu Ming as their top priority and not make any mistakes.
"I'm so bored, come out for a walk!"
Wu Ming smiled.
"This is no joke!"
Liu Wu couldn't laugh or cry.
Ever since Wu Ming boarded the ship, she has become a big girl who never leaves home, which is very reassuring.
Appearing suddenly, I felt a little at a loss as to what to do!
"Don't worry, you should be busy, I won't hinder you!"
Wu Ming also knew that he had a special status and waved his hand indifferently.
"Well, if you really feel bored, I'll be with you!"
Liu Wu pondered for a while and said.
"Okay, then it's time to work!"
Wu Mingliu cupped his hands.
In any case, Liu Wu is also a warrior of artistic conception. With him by his side, if an unexpected situation occurs, there will be someone to take care of him!
The two of them walked forward and arrived at the upper level of the treasure ship, which was similar to a club.
At this time, hundreds of people gathered together, whispering and whispering to each other.
Wu Ming took a quick look and found that most of the people looked impatient, and only a few looked worried.
This is human nature. It has nothing to do with you. Who cares how many people die?
Those who are worried are just afraid that the killer is around and will threaten themselves!
"bright……"
Liu Zhenhai, who was comforting everyone, noticed the arrival of the two men. He frowned slightly and was about to say something. Thinking of Wu Ming's situation, he swallowed his words and gave Liu Wu a fierce look.
Everyone didn't care that there was one more person around them, almost everyone was discussing what to do next!
"Master Ming, those are Shopkeeper Ma's retinues!"
Liu Wu shrank his neck and raised his chin slightly to one side.
In his opinion, Wu Ming must have become interested in this matter when he left the room.
"oh!"
Wu Ming nodded noncommittally and glanced away inadvertently.
There are five men and one woman. Among the men, four are big men with slightly bulging temples, and one is an old man in his fifties with a worried look on his face. The last woman is only twenty-eight years old and has a pretty face.
At this time, his eyes were reddish, his shoulders were shaking slightly, and he was crying quietly!
"It's a pity. I heard that Mrs. Ma was jealous. Shopkeeper Ma died in this girl's room. When he returns, he will either reward it to his servants or sell it to Qin Lou Chu Pavilion!"
Liu Wu seemed to realize something and sighed softly.
"Died in this woman's room!"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Isn't that right? The room was closed, no one was around, and there was a talisman formation to ensure that everything was safe. Who would have known that he would die in such a strange way!"
