C20 Xanthoxylum

It had been three days since the annihilation of the Yellowsand Gang, and the common folk beneath the Ba Zhong County were beginning to panic, but their smiles slowly returned to their faces.

Humans were strange animals, and they had at most a few days to talk about how sad other people were.

In the middle of the morning, the sun still angrily scattered down its evil flames. Xiong Zifeng pulled Mu Tu and ran towards Yellow Sand City.

"Brother Mu, my uncle found the secret room in Yellowsand Gang, let's go take a look," Xiong Zifeng said excitedly.

At first, Mu Tu's sleepy gray face did not have a single expression, but when he heard Yellowsand Gang's name, a flash of pain passed through his face, evidently, he did not forget the sadness from that day.

If one did not pay close attention, one would not be able to discover this cave. It was as if the County Governor Jiang had a deep grudge against this Yellowsand Gang, as though even if he were to scrape the ground, he would still need to find the money the commoners had spent all these years to exploit.

The cave was pitch black. He couldn't even see his own fingers in front of him …

Mu Tu and Xiong Zifeng were coincidentally standing at the entrance of the cave. Borrowing the dim sunlight that leaked out from the outside of the cave, they could vaguely see the straight tunnel that led to the unknown darkness.

"Be careful, there might be a trap in this cave …" Xiong Zifeng carefully took out a fire piston and led the way into the cave.

Mu Tu regained his senses, without saying a word, he followed quietly behind Xiong Zifeng.

The two of them carefully explored forward for a while, and soon, they arrived at a fork in the road.

"Heaven and Earth Limitless, Universe Eight Trigrams, Four Directions Squared, Two Elements Pointers, Directly to the left, and oppositely to the right," Xiong Zifeng very cautiously took out a copper coin from his chest pocket and threw it into the air, "Directly to the left."

"Puchi." Mu Tu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was the first time he revealed a smile after being depressed for a few days.

Xiong Zifeng's mouth formed a smile, and without saying a word, he walked towards the left.

After walking for a while, the sounds of flowing water could be faintly heard in front of them. In addition, a new fork in the road appeared in front of them.

"The Heaven and Earth are represented by the Heaven and the Earth. The Kan represents the Water and the Flame. The Tremor represents the Thunder and the Zong represents the Mountain. The Xun represents the Wind and the Zephyr. "There is water here as a barrier, and when you enter the cave, you should walk on the mountain. If you walk on this path, you should move forward." Xiong Zifeng faked to feel for the small stone under the stone wall at the fork of the road, and continued to lead Mu Tu forward.

However, he did not notice that Mu Tu had secretly kicked the stone towards another intersection.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the two of them finally saw a glimmer of light up ahead and walked out of the cave.

It was as if the other end of the world was filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. Peach blossoms filled the air.

Following the small path filled with grass, the two of them arrived at a shabby thatched hut. Xiong Zifeng walked over and pushed open the door, and the two discovered that the interior was equipped with everything.

"Little Brother Mu, help me search your hand as well," Xiong Zifeng lightly patted Mu Tu's shoulder.

Mu Tu thoughtfully looked at Xiong Zifeng's slightly split palm. Just as he was about to ask, he realized that Xiong Zifeng had already turned around and was walking toward his bedroom.

Mu Tu heaved a sigh of relief, and searched around for the place that seemed to be the study room.

In the study room, Mu Tu could clearly see the nature of the owner of the house. The bookshelves that were filled with books were filled with different versions of the [Inner Room Technique], [Secret Theatre] and the [Secrets of the Yuan Yang].

Mu Tu curiously flipped open a book that looked like a book entitled "Mystery of the Lovers", and the unsightly scene assaulted his young heart.

Ah!" The old man cried out in fear and hurriedly closed the book. He pretended as if nothing had happened and walked out of the study room to search around.

"What's wrong? "What's wrong?" Xiong Zifeng hurriedly ran out from the bedroom and saw the red faced Mu Tu walk out of the study room and into a side room.

He walked into the study, Xiong Zifeng's eyes shone like a wolf's eyes as they swept across the numerous books on the bookshelves. was in the midst of searching the room seriously, so he secretly picked up one or two books and stuffed them into his chest, as if nothing had happened and entered the room to search.

In the corner, Mu Tu relied on the strange internal energy that his master had taught him and subconsciously discovered that there seemed to be a wave of cold air coming out from beneath his feet.

"Brother Zi Feng, there's a problem here," together with Xiong Zifeng, they pried open the enormous bluestone floor, and discovered that there was actually a small cold spring water below.

Waves of white mist drifted out, revealing a corpse inside. Judging from the posture of the skeleton sitting cross-legged, it seemed that it died from Qi deviation due to some mistake in its practice.

There was a book covered in frost in front of the skeleton, and a pair of gloves that radiated a fiery aura. It was very eye-catching.

Mu Tu picked up the book and scanned through the frost on it. Astonishingly, there were six big words written on it, Yellow Sand Mysterious Art of Nine Serenities, looks like it was the corpse of a senior from Yellowsand Gang.

After flipping through the contents, he realised that it seemed to be a door, fist techniques, and cultivation methods. Mu Tu threw the book to Xiong Zifeng, "Brother, this is suitable for you."

As he said that, he took off the glove on his own accord, "Aiyo, aiyo, it's hot."

Xiong Zifeng flipped open the book and realized that it was indeed a fist technique that suited him, he started to read happily. The King Kong Door was indeed a top-notch fist technique, but compared to the famous yellow sand power that could release energy, it was still lacking.

"Brother Xiong, this pair of gloves should be suitable for that cultivation technique. You should also keep it, be careful of burning it." Mu Tu carefully instructed Xiong Zifeng.

Xiong Zifeng looked at the manual, and said in a deep voice: "This is the Feng Yin's gauntlet, it is said that it is made from the rock where the Phoenix landed, but it should be something like a volcanic rock, in the martial world, people always like to make myths about these things that cannot be understood."

"No wonder it's so hot. Bro, do you want to try it? Can you use it?" Mu Tu used the Twilight Knife to pick up the glove and gave it to Xiong Zifeng.

"Don't. At the very least, I need to borrow the Cold Spring to learn this technique before I can wear this Feng Yin's gauntlet." As he said that, he looked at the Twilight Knife in Mu Tu's hands in slight surprise. According to the records, the moment this Feng Yin's gauntlet touched the sword, it would slowly melt.

"Brother Xiong, please continue with the cold spring. I will bury this senior and let him rest in the ground." Mu Tu was not afraid, he threw the gloves to the side and carried the Twilight Knife on his back, then carried the cold corpse out of the house.

Xiong Zifeng nodded, he took off his clothes and carefully hid the manual inside under his clothes.

Then, he took out the pills he had grinded from the Blessed Saint Fu Baiwan and carefully poured three of them into his mouth. He then jumped into the cold spring and sat down cross-legged, circulating the Qi in his Dantian according to the mental cultivation method recorded in the book.
