The Gate of the Genkai

Ten The Wu Family

“what”

Shi Mu took a closer look unexpectedly.

The thing on the ground was actually a black iron plate, with clusters of exquisite patterns imprinted on the surface, as if it were words, but none of them could be recognized.

“Miss Zhong, do you know this thing?” Shi Mu picked up the iron plate curiously, looked at it several times, and couldn’t help asking Zhong Xiu.

“I haven’t seen this thing before. It should be something carried by the zombie itself. It’s not surprising. Zombies are originally transformed from people after death. It’s normal to wear some accessories on their bodies.” The girl resisted the pungent smell. Walking over, after looking at the iron plate, he shook his head and said.

Shi Mu nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he put the iron plate directly into his arms, and walked out of the door with the other hand still holding the leaves to wrap the corpse.

Not long after, the two walked on the mountain road back to the city.

On the way, Shi Mu couldn’t help asking Zhong Xiu about the fact that the screaming made the zombie miserable.

However, the young girl’s blank face clearly shows that she has nothing to do with it.I don’t know.

Seeing this, Shi Mu naturally couldn’t continue to question, but it was already late and the west gate of Fengcheng was closed, so he simply took the girl to his manor on the outskirts of the city.

At night, Shi Mu was playing with the iron cards in his hand in the bedroom.

At first glance, this object seems to be made of ordinary black iron, but it is actually quite heavy and cold, and the exquisite patterns on the surface, upon closer inspection, have a sense of simplicity and mystery.

Although Shi Mu didn’t know the origin of the iron plate, it was obviously not an ordinary thing. After checking for a while and finding nothing, he put it away again, and then took out the wooden box that the middle-aged man Zhong Ming forced to him before he died. .

The Zhong family’s father and daughter seem to have some history. Since this object is called a family heirloom by the other party, it should be worth a lot of money.

After the lid of the box was opened, there was actually a thick yellowed tome inside, and the four red letters “Zhong Gong’s Secret Code” were written on the cover.

Shi Mu was taken aback for a moment, then took out the book and began to flip through it page by page.

The entire classic book has more than three hundred pages, all of which are written in small black characters the size of ants, and many pages are equipped with lifelike pictures.

Shi Mu only read the first few pages, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after he hastily flipped through the entire tome, he took a deep breath and stared blankly at the things in his hand, and fell silent.

This book of clockwork secrets is roughly divided into two parts, the first half records the making methods of many unorthodox weapons, while the latter part records the making methods of some small tools and mechanisms and the recipes of hundreds of poisons. But regardless of the former or the latter, the weirdness and unimaginable things recorded are far beyond what Shi Mu could have imagined before.

For example, one of the weapons called “Black Stone Poison Heart Sword” looks like an ordinary black iron long sword, but the actual blade is hollow and filled with a lot of venom. If a warrior uses this sword to confront an enemy, it only takes three or five strokes, and the long sword will be brittle and open, allowing the venom inside to splash out, poisoning the opponent to death.

There is also a small and exquisite crossbow called “bow crossbow”, which is even more vicious. A special hard crossbow is installed on the back in advance. Three crossbow arrows were shot directly from the ground to wound people, making it impossible to guard against.

As for the poisons recorded in the recipes, they ranged from making people unconscious on the spot to dying after a few days of poisoning.

“What the hell is this Zhong family doing? How could there be such a thing? Judging from the dilapidated state of this classic, it is probably left by the ancestors of the Zhong family.” Shi Mu thought secretly.

But the above things really opened his eyes. If he can really read it well, he won’t be unprepared when someone uses the same method to deal with him in the future.

In addition, the few things recorded above also made him very interested.

Shi Mu quickly flipped the pages of the book again, and soon came back to a picture of two weapons, big and small.

These two weapons, one large and one small, are arranged up and down. The big one above is a slightly curved single knife, but the handle is longer, and it can be held with both hands almost at the same time. At the same time, there is a black line vaguely connected to the ring of the handle. The small one looks like a short blade, seemingly sharp, but extremely small.

The boy looked at the picture and the annotation next to it intently, and fell into deep thought.

Early the next morning.

Shi Mu was dressed in Tsing Yi, with Zhong Xiu whose eyes were still red and swollen, appeared on a certain street in Fengcheng. On one side of the street, there was a mansion occupying more than a hundred acres, which was very eye-catching.

After looking at the blue gate in front of him and the huge “Wu” on the golden plaque above, Shi Mu took a few steps forward and knocked on the thick copper ring on the gate several times.

“Who are you, knocking on the door early in the morning, who are you looking for?” The door finally opened, and a man in a servant’s clothes came out from inside, and said impatiently after glancing at the two of them.

“This is Ms. Zhong, a relative of your family, please tell me.” Shi Mu reached out and took a piece of jade pendant handed over by the girl next to him, and handed it directly.

“Wait a minute, relative.” The man was taken aback when he heard the words, took the jade pendant with some doubts, and closed the door again.

Not long after, the door opened again, and two people walked out from inside.

The person in front has a white face and long beard, while the person behind is a young man about the same age as Shi Mu. His face is somewhat similar to the former, but full of arrogance.

“My niece has arrived, that’s great. Uncle, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time since I received the letter. Hey, what about Brother Zhong Xian, this is again” the white-faced man smiled when he saw the girl, but his eyes swept away. After Mu glanced at it, he was a little surprised.

“This is Mr. Shi. My father was killed on the road. Thanks to Mr. Shi, I was able to come here.” Zhong Xiu lightly saluted the white-faced man with tears in his eyes.

The boy opposite saw the blue birthmark on the girl’s forehead, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

“What, brother Wu was killed, what’s going on here, this is not the place to talk, niece should go to the mansion and tell me in detail first.” The white-faced man was shocked when he heard the words, and said so immediately.

The girl naturally nodded in agreement.

“Oh, little brother, thanks to you sending niece Zhong here, it’s worth a little moneyConsider it a reward. “The white-faced man glanced at Shi Mu again, frowned, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and handed it over.

“There’s no need for Yin Zi. I’ve accomplished my merits by sending Miss Xiu’er here.” Shi Mu looked at Yin Zi on the opposite side, shook his head, then turned and left.

“Hmph, I really don’t want to flatter my father. I’ve seen such a guy a lot. On the surface, he refuses to ask for money, but most likely he intends to make a fortune in his heart.” Seeing this, the young man next to him said coldly. .

“Brother Shi, you’re not this kind of person.” Zhong Xiu said softly.

The white-faced man just smiled, then turned around and walked towards the gate with the two of them.

Shi Mu didn’t leave Fengcheng, but after turning a few streets, he suddenly walked into a building with “Liufeng Wuguan” hanging on it.

He walked through the gate, and in front of him was a martial arts practice field covered with bluestone floor tiles. Inside, there were more than a dozen teenagers wielding knives and guns.

“Brother Shi Mu, you’re here.” As soon as Shi Mufang appeared, two youths greeted him immediately. One looked twenty-one, and the other looked sixteen or seventeen.

“Brother Feng, Brother Gao, you are here too.” Seeing the two of them, Shi Mu was slightly surprised, and cupped his hands.

“I heard that a batch of cheap body-hardening medicines have been brought out in the martial arts hall this time. Let’s see if we can buy some. But brother Shi doesn’t have to come here eagerly, you shouldn’t need this batch of medicines after you have already achieved great body-hardening. That’s right.” The older, gentle-looking youth said with a smile.

“I heard from Instructor Li that your Body Tempering Technique will soon break through to the tenth floor. It’s true.” Another young man with a deep scar on his brow stared at Shi Mu, Some asked in disbelief.

Both of them met after Shi Mu came to this martial arts gym, the older one was called Feng Li, and the younger one was called Gao Yuan.

“I’m indeed about to break through to the tenth floor of Body Tempering, and this time I came here not for these medicines, but because I encountered some problems in my cultivation and needed to ask Coach Li for advice.” Shi Mu replied with a smile.

“So the rumors are true. It seems that Brother Shi is young, so he has a great chance to comprehend the sense of qi. Tsk tsk, he really deserves to be the genius that Coach Li said. By the way, let’s have a gathering at your restaurant when we have time.” ” Feng Li said with a sigh of amazement.

Gao Yuan next to him also had an envious expression on his face.

“Okay, then I’ll have a few drinks with the two of you.” Shi Mu agreed, and after chatting with the two of them in a seemingly ordinary way, he left.

But the moment Shi Mu and Feng Li passed by their shoulders, the other party suddenly cast a wink at him.

Shi Mu’s expression changed slightly, but he immediately left as if nothing had happened.

After a while, Shi Mu appeared in a separate courtyard behind the martial arts training ground. Li Canghai was lying on a grand teacher’s chair in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes narrowed slightly thinking about something, and he smiled when he saw Shi Mu walk in. He said “Come on” contentedly, and stood up from the chair.

“Master Li, do you want to ask those senior brothers for help this time?” Shi Mu asked after saluting respectfully.

“No need. You are now at the critical moment of breaking through the eleventh layer of body tempering, and I have to do it myself. By the way, you didn’t tell others that you are going to break through the eleventh layer of body tempering, right?” Li Canghai asked calmly.

“Don’t worry, Master Li, I’ve always followed what you said. Others in the martial arts hall have always thought that my body tempering technique is only a master, and I’m still in the ninth level.” Shi Mu replied with a smile.

“Very good, if that’s the case, your participation in the competition of the four major martial arts halls in half a month will surely surprise many people and make the influence of our romantic martial arts hall even higher.” Li Canghai smiled even deeper when he heard this. two points.

Mo Tian Ji is finally finished, everyone can go to the end of the last two chapters:
