Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 489 A cloud of masters
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties. He was extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

He looked ordinary, dressed simply, and there was nothing eye-catching about him.

However, he was carrying an old medicine box on his back, indicating his identity as a doctor.

Judging from his aura, his martial arts level is not very high, he is only a fifth-grade warrior.

In ordinary places, a fifth-grade warrior is considered a master and can dominate an area.

But in this occasion where so many masters gather together, his strength seems quite ordinary.

Zhao Xiling is a princess, and those who are qualified to serve her are all well-known figures in the martial arts world.

There were even two third-grade warriors in the crowd, and fourth-grade warriors made up the majority. In comparison, fifth-grade warriors were really not up to par here.

But the strange thing is that this thin middle-aged man is among a group of masters, and his status is not low. On the contrary, he has a very high status and is respected by everyone.

Liang Jin stared at the middle-aged man for a few seconds and finally remembered:
“It turned out to be Doctor Mu!”

This person is none other than Mu Mu, who is known as the best doctor in the martial arts world.

That year in the Minzhou Palace, Liang Jin, Mu Mu and Jiugong Zhenren were invited together to treat the princess's illness.

Later, Liang Jin killed Jiugong Zhenren in a rage, made a big fuss in the palace, and left resolutely. Since then, the two have never met again.

In Liang Jin's mind, he did not have a bad impression of Mu Mu.

Mu Mu deserves to be called a miracle doctor. He truly has a caring heart and strong professional ethics.

More importantly, this person is a chess piece planted by Hualongmen in the Daqian martial arts world, and may be used by Liang Jin in the future.

However, Liang Jin had never found the right opportunity to use him, so he never revealed his identity to him.

Mu Mu greeted him warmly with a smile on his face, and talked to Liang Jin enthusiastically:

"The Great and Good Master used the talisman water to cure illnesses, eradicate the plague, and save countless lives. This act of kindness is truly immeasurable."

"I had the honor of witnessing the Great Sage Master perform his magic last time, and I still can't forget it."

"I wonder if the Great Sage Master is free at the moment?"

"I have always been curious about the method of curing the epidemic, and I would like to ask the Great Sage Master for some advice."

Liang Jin smiled gently upon hearing this, then pointed to the blazing bonfire beside him:

"Of course I'm free. Doctor Mu, please take a seat and we'll talk in detail."

"Since ancient times, witches and doctors have been inseparable. Mu, the divine doctor, practiced medicine, using herbs, acupuncture and moxibustion to heal people; I am a witch, using talismans and spells to heal illnesses and save lives."

"Although our methods are different, we are all working for the well-being of the poor people of this world. Although our paths are different, our aspirations are the same."

Immediately, Liang Jin ordered the Yellow Turbans to prepare some wine and meat. They could use the fire to cook wine and roast meat to fill their stomachs.

Mu Mu's warm attitude towards Liang Jin instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding warriors.

Immediately, many warriors gathered around and said in unison:
"So you are the renowned Great and Good Teacher? I've heard of your name a long time ago, and seeing you today, I can see you're truly worthy of your reputation!"

"The Great Sage Master of the Taiping Dao is a name known to everyone! I am Jiang Wenxuan of Tianhe Valley. Today, I have the honor of meeting the Great Sage Master!"

"I am Zeng Hanchuan of the Red Maple Society. Some of our disciples have drunk the Taiping Dao's talisman water, all thanks to the compassion of the Great Sage Master!"

……

Not many people came to greet Liang Jin, and most of them were fourth- and fifth-rank warriors.

The third-rank warriors had no intention of coming over to greet them. Like most warriors, they still gathered around the princess, Canxin, Gu Jinfu, Jiang Duanchao and others.

After all, these people are outstanding in terms of identity, status, strength and reputation, which naturally attracts everyone to curry favor with them.

The Taiping Dao was established only recently and was not yet strong enough.

When it comes to the Great Sage Master, there may be many people who have heard of him, but their understanding of him is limited to the fact that he uses talismans and water to treat diseases.

As for the Great Sage Master's true strength and status in the martial arts world, everyone basically knows nothing about it.

Therefore, even if warriors came to say hello, they would just chat for a few minutes, get to know each other, and then disperse.

Only Mu Mu stayed with Liang Jin and talked with him.

Through a conversation with Mu Mu, Liang Jin had a general understanding of the situation of these warriors.

original.

As early as a month or two ago, Princess Kangning Zhao Xiling had planned to go to Zanglong Ridge. At that time, she had already begun to summon warriors from all over the world and asked them to come to Jinzhou to meet up.

Zhao Xiling knew very little about the martial arts world. She had no idea which martial artists were the true top masters. In desperation, she could only invite the most famous martial artists to come.

Later, because Princess Zhao Xiling was taken away and placed under house arrest by Liang Jin, many warriors gathered in Jinzhou and could only wait there helplessly.

Now that Zhao Xiling has returned, these warriors have come one after another at Canxin's call.

But Liang Jin also heard a problem during the conversation.

That is, none of these warriors knew about the heavenly secret book.

They even had no idea why Zhao Xiling had called them here.

It seems that the only people who knew the secret of the Heavenly Level Secret Book were those who participated in the conversation in the secret room.

"Will they know?"

Liang Jin pondered in his heart and cast his eyes towards two people among the group of warriors.

These two people are both third-grade warriors!
Liang Jin has learned from Mu Mu that one of the swordsmen is named Shen Cangming, known as "Cangming Sword" in the martial arts world; the other is "Yu Xiao Weng", Xie Linyuan.

Both of them are well-known figures in the martial arts world, and they are top masters in their respective states.

Third-grade warriors are rare and precious in the world.

A third-rank warrior can dominate a state and become the undisputed number one.

And now, being able to gather so many third-grade warriors together is enough to demonstrate the noble status of Princess Zhao Xiling and her powerful appeal.

"Ok?"

"Are there any masters?"

Liang Jin's ears suddenly moved slightly and his expression became stern.

His extremely sharp senses had already detected that a powerful warrior was approaching.

really.

In an instant, a solemn and murderous atmosphere spread in the night, like a layer of cold frost, instantly covering the entire camp.

The warriors who were originally laughing and chatting with each other at the scene were all infected by the solemn and murderous atmosphere. They all became quiet, with expressions of surprise on their faces, and looked into the darkness.

Soon, a burst of hurried horse hooves came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, two figures broke through the darkness like lightning and appeared in everyone's sight.

The first one to appear was a male rider.

This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, an upright posture, and an imposing bearing. His every move and gesture shows the demeanor of a noble family.

He was wearing a brocade robe, a bright red cloak, a long sword at his waist, and a black gauze crown on his head.

Liang Jin knew this man. He was Ding Feng, the second-class guard who used to be by Zhao Xiling's side.

Next to Ding Feng was a female rider.

At first glance, this female rider looked to be in her forties, but if one looked closely at the knife-like wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, one could tell that her actual age was probably over fifty.

Her face was as white as a pine tree bitten by frost, her white hair was tied into a high ponytail like silver threads, a few strands of hair hung down in front of her forehead, her eyes were as sharp as torches, and there was a cold light in them that had been gleamed from a hundred battles.

She wore a dark, form-fitting outfit, the cuffs gathered to her wrists for easy sword drawing. The collar of her garment was embroidered with cloud patterns, and a leather belt at her waist was adorned with seven black iron amulets. She carried a goose-feather sword on her back, its scabbard richly coated, the handle wrapped in hemp that had been polished to an amber hue.

When Liang Jin saw the female rider, his heart suddenly moved:
"Xuanluan Guard!"

He was in the imperial palace and was very familiar with the attire of the palace guards. He could immediately recognize the identity of the female rider from her attire.

To be precise, this female rider was also a member of the Imperial Guard, and a First-Class Guard, the highest rank among the guards, one level higher than Ding Feng. Furthermore, she was a very special Xuanluan Guard within the First-Class Guards.

The reason why the Xuanluan Guards are special is mainly due to their gender.

The female guards were called Xuanluan Guards.

Although there are many palace guards in the palace, especially in the harem, most of them are men, which inevitably brings many inconveniences to the ladies in the harem.

Therefore, there are female guards Xuanluanwei.

However, the number of Xuanluan Guards is extremely small and they have always been controversial.

By now, the number of the entire Daqian Xuanluan Guards is probably no more than ten, and most of them are used to provide protection services for the queen.

And now, the female rider in front of him who is at the third level is obviously the strongest among the Xuanluan Guards.

She probably came here to protect Zhao Xiling's safety.

As expected, after the Xuanluan Guard arrived with Ding Feng, he immediately saluted respectfully to Zhao Xiling, and then took over Zhao Xiling's protection work.

"As expected of a princess, you have a good life."

Liang Jin looked at this scene and felt secretly emotional.

When the plague raged in Qingzhou, the daughters of ordinary families had no medicine to take and could only die miserably in pain.

Zhao Xiling is also a woman, but when she is sick, she can summon the best doctors in the world to treat her. When she goes out to do things, she can find a large group of experts to help her.

By now, Zhao Xiling has already gathered seven third-grade warriors!
Apart from the Imperial Palace and Hualong Gate, Liang Jin had never seen so many third-grade warriors gathered together.

"With so many experts gathered here, it seems that Dragon Burial Ridge is even more dangerous than I expected."

Liang Jin frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

Zhao Xiling has been secretive and has not explained many details about the Zanglong Ridge, leaving everyone confused to this day.

If it were someone else, they would have been questioned or even abandoned by everyone.

But she is a princess, and because of this identity, everyone is still willing to revolve around her.

Liang Jin took another look at the characteristics of [Thousand Mile Tracking].

Fortunately, Zhao Bao is still alive, which makes Liang Jin feel a little relieved.

Since that was the case, Liang Jin didn't think any more about it. He went straight into the tent and fell asleep.

The night passed peacefully and without incident.

Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, everyone started getting ready to set off.

All the Taiping Dao members stayed outside the mountain. Gu Jinfu also asked hundreds of his men to provide support outside the mountain. He only brought Cao Xian, two foreman and a dozen other men into the mountain.

After all, when going into the mountains this time, it is not the case that the more people you bring, the better.

The dozens of warriors who arrived last night were all very excited and took the initiative to lead the way.

Several foreigners brought a sedan chair, and Zhao Xiling sat steadily on it.

The Xuanluan Guard, Ding Feng and Canxin, like loyal guards, followed the princess closely and protected her safety at all times.

Gu Jinfu, Jiang Duanchao and others were responsible for covering the rear of the team.

In this way, the group marched towards the mountains in a mighty manner.

Jinzhou is known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The mountains here are continuous and undulating, with no end in sight, as if they are endless.

Especially as we went deeper into the mountains and came to places where few people went, the surroundings gradually became quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary.

There are vast tracts of primeval forest here, and there are almost no traces of human existence.

In particular, the tropical plants here grow extremely lushly, many of them are taller than humans, and some of the huge leaves are even like a huge umbrella.

If an ordinary person entered such an environment, he would probably have to hold a knife and laboriously chop down those plants taller than humans, and struggle to open up a path before he could move forward.

But these situations are not difficult for the people in the team.

After all, everyone present is a warrior with great martial arts skills.

They used their lightness skills and just tapped the tips of the leaves with their toes, and then they could move forward as fast as a flying bird.

Even if they encountered obstacles such as branches and vines blocking the way ahead, the weapons in their hands or the sharp sword energy were often enough to clear away the debris from a long distance before everyone got close.

This also made everyone travel at an incredibly fast speed.

There are naturally many ferocious beasts in this primeval forest.

But everyone was so imposing that the wild beasts, which were extremely sensitive to danger, didn't dare to get close.

Even if one or two fearless bears or leopards appear occasionally, they can be easily killed by the crowd.

The towering trees around here seem to block out the sunlight. In such an environment, it is difficult to tell the directions.

Logically speaking, where there are such big and thick trees, there should be no shortage of lumberyards.

After all, most of the buildings in the Daqian Dynasty were civil structures, and the demand for wood was extremely strong.

But Liang Jin discovered that even the traces of lumberyards and logging were only on the outskirts of the Shiwan Mountains and did not go deep into the primeval forest.

Obviously, the environment in this place is extremely unsafe. In addition to those wild beasts and poisonous insects, there are probably more hidden dangers.

The first day ended quickly.

As night fell, the team stopped to rest.

For warriors, it is natural that they would not feel tired and need to rest after just one day of marching.

They did this mainly to take care of Zhao Xiling.

Zhao Xiling was an ordinary person after all. Even though she had been sitting in the sedan chair the whole time, the bumpy ride still made her feel a little overwhelmed.

This first night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, everyone continued on their journey.

As we went deeper into the primeval forest, it seemed as if we had entered another world.

The environment here looks as if no human has set foot here for thousands of years, and it is primitive and mysterious everywhere.

Faced with the great power of nature, even these experienced martial arts masters could not help but feel awe in their hearts and involuntarily calm down, no longer as noisy as yesterday.

In this jungle, three days passed in a flash.

Everyone was still on their way without stopping.

Mu Mu's nature is hard to change. Whenever he sees some rare medicinal herbs, he can't help but stop and dig carefully.

Especially as he went deeper into the jungle, there were more and more precious medicinal herbs, which made it even more difficult for him to move.

As a result, he quickly fell behind.

Fortunately, Liang Jin was with him. Thanks to Liang Jin's super perception ability, he did not get lost in the forest.

But the two of them were basically far behind the main force.

Liang Jin took a look at the characteristics of [Thousand Miles Tracking] and saw that Dragon Burial Ridge was already within reach!
They are now almost reaching the outskirts of Dragon Burial Ridge.

at this time.

Suddenly, bursts of exclamations were heard from the team in front.

The exclamation came extremely suddenly. Normally, everyone was used to traveling in silence and would not shout like that.

Liang Jin's expression changed instantly:
"problem occurs?"

"Doctor Mu, stop digging. Let's go over and take a look!"
