What a lucky world!

Chapter 224: First Hearing of the Hunting Gang
After waiting for another two days, seeing that Wei Wuyou and Ye Hanzhou's injuries had improved a lot, Zhang Mu took Xuan Ji down the mountain.

Now with Zhang Mu's strength, coupled with the spiritual weapon Longdan Bright Silver Spear and the magic sword of the Demon Sword Old Man, he no longer needs any protection. The reason why he brought Xuan Ji with him was because the Tianji Scroll calculated that this was an opportunity for Buddhism, and Xuan Ji was the guardian beast of Buddhism. Zhang Mu felt that she might be of help.

Of course, a simple disguise still needs to be done, and Shisan Niang is an expert at it.

……

Three days later, it was drizzling and Zhang Mu arrived at Changcui Mountain.

Following the instructions on the map, he found a village at the foot of Changcui Mountain and planned to inquire about the situation at Qipan Peak.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I heard the sound of suona and crying in the village. It turned out that someone was holding a funeral.

There were villagers at the entrance of the village who were supposed to be meeting him. When they saw Zhang Mu approaching on horseback, they quickly stepped forward to stop him, bowed politely but awkwardly, and said, "Sir, please stop. There's a funeral going on in the village. If I go any further, I'm afraid I'll bump into you."

In this world where luck is everything, there are some customs that must be avoided, so as not to disrupt the blessings of noble people.

It was really because Zhang Mu's horse looked so good, and all his clothes were bought by Shisan Niang. People who didn't know him would just think he was a young master from some family, and no one would think he was a bandit from Wuzhai.

Zhang Mu naturally didn't care about any collision or not. Not to mention funerals, some time ago, there were corpses everywhere at the foot of Qianyuan Mountain, and a lot of Jingguans were built.

He jumped off his horse and said, "No problem. I was just passing by and wanted to get some water and feed the horses."

As he spoke, Zhang Mu took out a dime of silver, about one or two taels, from his sleeve and handed it to the man.

The man took the silver and immediately showed a happy expression. He hurriedly said, "My humble name is Zhang Erniu. If you don't mind, please follow me. I just bought some soybeans, which are just right for nourishing this horse."

As he said that, Zhang Erniu took the initiative to hold the reins in Zhang Mu's hand.

Zhang Mu casually handed the reins to Zhang Erniu and followed him into the village. He casually asked, "Has an elderly person passed away in the village?"

"Well, that's great." Zhang Erniu shook his head. "Zhang Wuyi, oh, that's the village hunter. He disappeared a few days ago. Later, the villagers found some traces and discovered that he ran to Qipan Peak. It's been seven days, and it's estimated that he is gone. His father asked someone to hold a funeral and summon his soul, hoping that he will be reincarnated soon."

Zhang Mu was immediately interested when he heard this: "Qipan Peak? Is it dangerous there?"

Zhang Erniu was about to speak when he heard a passing villager greet him, "Erniu, there's a funeral going on in the village, why did you bring in such distinguished guests?"

Zhang Erniu glanced at the man and cursed, "You rascal, just enjoy your meal at Wu's house and don't disturb my benefactor!"

After saying that, Zhang Erniu smiled at Zhang Mu and said, "Country people don't know the rules, please don't mind it, young master."

Zhang Mu waved his hand and didn't rush to ask any further questions.

Soon, Zhang Mu followed the other party to a farmhouse.

The village was not big, and Zhang Mu, sitting inside, could just see a family holding a funeral not far away.

Zhang Erniu attentively made a pot of tea for himself and was about to run out to feed the horse when he was stopped by Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu tossed another dime to the other man and said, "I just like to hear about rural anecdotes. I'm quite interested in what you just said about Qipan Peak. Tell me more about it."

Zhang Erniu sat down carelessly upon hearing this and said, "Sir, you've asked the right person about this."

"Qipan Peak is extremely dangerous. In the past ten years, at least eighty, if not a hundred, people have lost their lives there!"

"On the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, you can still hear the sound of bells ringing. Isn't that strange?"

"Sometimes we dream, and in the dream there is a great monk who asks us to find him and practice with him."

Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows: "Is anyone going?"

"Yes!" Zhang Erniu nodded. "A few years ago, every year, there were people who would walk into the mountains before dawn, naked. If they were stopped, guess what would happen?"

"They are all sleepwalking!"

"I can't wake him up no matter how hard I try."

"Later, our village had people take turns keeping watch at night. If they saw someone like this, they would lock him up in the ancestral hall."

"Lock him up for three or four days, and he'll be fine once he wakes up." Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu tapped the table lightly with his fingers and analyzed the information Zhang Erniu had said.

According to the description, the opponent's method should be an illusion similar to charm; however, the monster only led the people there instead of actively attacking and plundering them. I think it was because it was afraid of provoking the masters of the Judan realm in the county town.

Therefore, the monster's cultivation level should most likely be equivalent to the early stage of the Judan realm, and no more than the middle stage at most.

Well, I can fight!

Zhang Mu was about to continue asking questions when he suddenly saw more than a dozen people coming out of the hunter's house opposite where the funeral was being held. Each of them had a fierce look on their faces, with longbows on their backs and steel forks hanging from their waists. Especially the middle-aged man in the lead, who had a ferocious face and was talking to another middle-aged man who was sent out.

"Who are they?" Zhang Mu pointed across.

Zhang Erniu quickly reached out and pressed Zhang Mu's finger down, saying, "Sir, please don't point randomly."

"That group of people are from the hunting gang."

"Hunting Gang?" This was the first time Zhang Mu heard this name.

"It's a force in the city!" Zhang Erniu said, "The members are all hunters, and they usually cooperate when they encounter wild beasts."

"That Zhang Wuyi is a member of the hunting gang."

"I heard that Zhang Wuyi's father had done a favor to the leader of the Hunting Gang before. This time, I guess Father Zhang asked them to avenge Wuyi."

Zhang Mu reacted immediately after hearing this.

You may not have any idea about the Hunting Gang, but you will be familiar with the other two names.

One is called the Cao Gang and the other is called the Beggar Gang.

The only difference between these two and the so-called hunting gangs is the scale, but there is no essential difference.

This kind of power is formed by gathering enough people and binding them with gang rules. It is not as strict as a family, but it can expand much more powerfully than a family.

only--

"Can they take revenge?"

Zhang Mu took a look and vaguely realized that the middle-aged man leading the other side was probably at the Nascent Soul Realm, but he couldn't see what level he was at.

But the group of people behind him were all warriors at the Tongmai realm.

If this group of people went to Qipan Peak...

Isn't this just giving away your life?

Zhang Mu frowned and was hesitating whether to persuade them when he saw the group pointing at him. Then he saw several big men surrounding a woman who looked to be in her twenties and had a heroic look walking towards him.

"Good man, good man..." Seeing that the person who came had ill intentions, Zhang Erniu hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, but was pushed aside by a big man.

Then the woman stepped forward, first looked at Zhang Mu, then bowed and said, "Sir, do you have any advice for me?"

Zhang Mu put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "I am just passing by and came into the village to ask for a drink."

"I was just curious, sorry for the offense."

Hearing this, the woman looked at Zhang Mu again, thought for a moment, and said, "There are some unclean things in the mountains, and we are about to deal with them. Young Master, you should leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, the woman turned around and walked out with the others.

Zhang Mu frowned when he heard this, touched his face, and muttered to himself: "Little?"

"Where is it smaller?"

"I clearly asked Shisan Niang to make me look more mature!"
