What a lucky world!

Chapter 126 There is nothing new under the sun

The cave was winding and twisting, but with Shudaoshan's guidance, they were able to reach the destination much faster than before.

It was still dark when they emerged from the cave. Zhuge Nanxian stretched out her hand, and a poisonous insect she had left outside flew over and landed in her palm.

Zhang Mu took a curious look, thinking that it must be a backup plan she had, so he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at the white-haired rat demon being held by Shu Daoshan.

"What's the matter with evil worship?" Zhang Mu asked straight to the point.

At this time, Shu Daoshan also kicked the white-haired rat demon from behind, and said with the power of the tiger: "Didn't you hear my benefactor asking you a question? Tell the truth quickly..."

The white-haired rat spirit seemed to be at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Condensation, so naturally, he had no energy left to resist. He said, "My Lord, that evil priest is called 'Night Marriage to Conceal Heaven'. It can transform the luck of incense into wedding money and use it for its own benefit."

"We use the plague as a threat and ask the townspeople to offer money as a token of their happiness, so as to gather their luck and use it to cultivate."

Zhuge Nanxian suddenly asked, "How did you get this evil sacrifice?"

The white-haired rat demon fell silent, and was hit by the rat Daoshan's tail behind him. He said, "Speak back!"

The white-haired rat spirit sighed and said, "You definitely won't believe me if I tell you."

"We dug a stone tablet underground, and it was recorded on the tablet."

Without waiting for Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian to speak, Shu Daoshan lashed out at the white-haired rat demon with his tail and sneered, "You can't even read a single word, how can you possibly understand the stone tablet?"

"We couldn't understand it, but it was obvious that the stone tablet was no ordinary artifact. So we captured a scholar and forced him to explain it to us."

"Where is the stone tablet?" Zhuge Nanxian asked.

"Of course we destroyed such an important thing." said the white-haired rat demon.

Zhang Mu frowned and said, "Needless to say, the scholar's fate was also killed by you, right?"

The white-haired rat demon wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he simply lowered his head and stopped answering.

At this time, Zhuge Nanxian sneered and said, "Evil priests also have different levels."

"If my guess is correct, this night marriage concealing the truth should require a male and female pair to complete the ceremony."

"You just happened to encounter an evil sacrifice ritual that matches your level of cultivation, and you also just happened to meet the requirements of an evil sacrifice."

"Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

After hearing Zhuge Nanxian's words, Shu Daoshan, who was standing by, seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "My benefactor, your words really hit the nail on the head."

"Back in the early days, when that rebel was still young and still struggling, he asked me for this white-haired rat to adopt as his daughter, and he even took the trouble to help her improve her cultivation."

"It seems that they should have been prepared in advance."

The white-haired rat demon sighed softly upon hearing this: "I've thought about this too."

"It seems that my godfather has already made preparations."

"That stele was deliberately discovered by him and me together."

At this point, the white-haired rat looked at Zhang Mu and said, "There's one thing I want to tell you. Can you please not kill me?"

Zhang Mu looked at her coldly: "Tell me."

"One time, when my adoptive father was drunk, he accidentally mentioned that once he breaks through the Moon-Eating Realm and advances to the Sun-Swallowing Realm, he'll be able to master the higher-level 'Night Marriage Sky' secret technique. Then, we'll leave this small town and choose a city with a population of 100,000 to perform this grand feat."

Zhang Mu's face was solemn. He asked, "Where did you get it?"

The white-haired rat demon shook his head: "I don't know."

"But I can be sure that most of the money collected from offerings and weddings after each evil sacrifice was taken away by others..."

"Who?" Zhang Mu asked.

The white-haired rat demon shook his head again: "I don't know."

"But two years ago, a human knight in the late stage of nourishment came here and stumbled upon the 'Night Marriage to Conceal the Heavens' ritual, and he also wanted to kill us!"

"At that time, my adoptive father had just advanced to the middle stage of the Moon-Eating Realm and was no match for the other party."

"I saw that my adoptive father seemed to have used some token, and soon a swordsman arrived and killed the human knight in the late stage of nourishment."

"Hmph..." Zhang Mu chuckled upon hearing this, "There really is nothing new under the sun."

Zhang Mu was all too familiar with this routine. Protective umbrella, black gloves!

"To think this happened outside the county town? This world is truly rotten." Zhuge Nanxian nodded in agreement. "My second uncle always said that when a country is about to fall, evil spirits will appear. It seems that this evil spirit is not a monster, but a human!"

Zhang Mu shook his head and sighed, "When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Nanxian looked at Zhang Mu, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"My Lords, I have told you everything I know. Can you spare my life?" the white-haired rat demon begged. "I swear I will never perform this evil ritual again. I will only find a deep mountain forest to practice alone..."

Zhang Mu looked at her and suddenly said, "How could the people in the town trust you when you threatened them with the plague?"

The white-haired rat demon was stunned when he heard this, and Nono didn't dare to say anything more.

What can they do?
Of course, the plague would kill all the families of those who resisted.

The next moment, a flash of cold light appeared, and Zhang Mu had already put away his gun and stood still. A cherry-sized hole appeared between the white-haired rat demon's eyebrows, and blood was oozing out, staining its white fur crimson. It fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

However, Zhang Mu's action also frightened the other rat demon. When the white-haired rat demon fell, he also fell down.

But he didn't fall down, he knelt down.

"Plop!" Shu Daoshan knelt down firmly in front of Zhang Mu, his rat eyes filled with tears, and he cried out, "My benefactor, this little demon has never harmed anyone!"

"Please show mercy and spare my life!"

"Little demon, I'll tie a grass ring to your mouth. I'll repay you in my next life... Bah, bah, bah, if not in my next life, I'll repay you in this life..."

Zhang Mu put the Snow Frost Sky Spear into the troop raising card, and took the unconscious Xuan Ji from Zhuge Nanxian's arms. Then he looked at Shu Daoshan and said, "I won't kill you."

"But this place has obviously been targeted. What are you going to do?"

Shu Daoshan blinked his small eyes, looked at Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian, and kowtowed, saying, "I, the little demon, am willing to follow you two benefactors and serve you as a humble servant."

Zhuge Nanxian burst out laughing and said, "You really are a rat-like servant."

"But you can't transform. It's so inconvenient for me and Brother Wei to have a rat demon with us!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Daoshan glanced at Xuan Ji, and the meaning was obvious.

You all have a cat demon with you, so what's wrong with bringing me, a rat demon?
Zhuge Nanxian saw what Shu Daoshan was thinking and snorted, "Can you compare with Xuan Ji? She is a meritorious divine beast and can apply for a salary in the court."

"Yes, yes, it's the little demon who has lost his mind." Shu Daoshan lowered his head quickly.

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll write you a letter later and you can send it back for me. If my family elders are willing to take you in, you can stay. If they're not, then find a place to wait for me. I'll arrange for you when I come back after I've finished my business!"

After all, he is a rat demon in the Moon-Eating Realm, and no blood can be felt on his body, so it is not impossible to arrange something for him.

Besides, there are quite a few rats in the alchemy team on the mountain, so it would be nice if he could be Xuan Ji's housekeeper in the future.

"Thank you so much, benefactor! Thank you so much, benefactor!" Upon hearing this, Shu Daoshan knew that his life was saved, and he kowtowed again to express his gratitude.

……

When the rooster sings, the world becomes white.

Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian have returned to the inn.

Xuan Ji was still in a coma, so Zhuge Nanxian took her to his room to remove the poison. Zhang Mu also wrote a letter and asked Shu Daoshan to take it back to a contact restaurant at the foot of Qianyuan Mountain.

After making sure everything was done, Zhang Mu sat back on the bed.

This time, there was an unexpected surprise.

The group of evil rat demons outside the city can actually be considered a force of its own.

Therefore, luck money was condensed in the luck hall of the Tianji scroll.

They were about to enter Lanling City, and he wanted to learn more about the person he needed to recruit who had the talent of a "grandmaster"!
Isn’t the HR investigation fee paid for now?
Thinking this way, Zhang Mu closed his eyes and concentrated, entering the sea of soul...
