From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts
Chapter 63: Another chapter about the house is here!
Inside the old house.
Mu Sheng carried the two people in. There was no sound in the magnificent courtyard, except for a number of shriveled corpses on the ground.
He glanced at the house, which originally consisted of three small houses, but now they had been demolished and rebuilt into a two-story building.
He walked straight in. The interior was luxuriously decorated, but everyone he saw had turned into dried-up corpses.
He found a bedroom on the second floor and put Mu Yun and the other person on the bed.
The two were breathing normally, but they were still unconscious. Mu Sheng temporarily placed the broadsword on his back under their wooden bed.
He then got up, clapped his hands, and carried the dried corpse from the bedroom out.
The bedroom door slowly closed.
Mu Sheng looked at the dried corpse lying in the corridor and clapped her hands.
"Get to work."
The corpses in this place all need to be disposed of, as Yang Xing had absorbed their life force.
The bodies of those who were absorbed were extremely fragile, completely like wood. He carried the dried corpses inside the building outside one by one.
In the main room at the far end of the second floor, he found Scarface Tiger's body. He was lying on the ground, his hand reaching towards the door, still pleading for help before he died.
Mu Sheng shook her head and looked at the room in front of her. The room was not too spacious. This two-story building was not very big to begin with. This was because the original farmland area of the house was included, so there was more room to accommodate people.
After all, they intended to use it as a base.
His gaze fell on the two mahogany boxes beside the bed, and he stopped in his tracks. Both mahogany boxes were locked with padlocks.
He stepped forward, grabbed it, and with a surge of strength, snapped it in two with a "crack," opening the mahogany box.
He looked into the mahogany box, where the bottom was covered with a layer of silver ingots, worth at least a hundred taels, as well as various jewels. Mu Sheng estimated that this box was worth at least three hundred taels.
"It's truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.'"
He had just spent most of his money, and now he had suddenly received this money for no reason.
He opened another mahogany box in the same way, and inside were house deeds. He randomly picked one out, and it showed a poor house in the vicinity, some antiques from that era, and about a hundred silver ingots on the bottom.
"The total value of these items must be at least a thousand taels of silver. Is this gang that good at making money?"
Mu Sheng closed the two boxes.
From now on, these things will belong to the Mu family.
These items are probably all the savings accumulated by the entire Tiger Gang, but antiques and jewelry are not easy to sell. The antiques also show that they were collected by poor families.
As the saying goes, gold is valued in times of chaos, while antiques are valued in times of prosperity. In today's world, antiques are not easy to sell.
Furthermore, jewelry is something only people in the inner city possess. If he were to sell it, he would likely be held responsible for the crime.
In the end, it was only two hundred taels of silver ingots.
This amount of money would make someone a wealthy household even in the inner city.
As for the land deeds, these were probably the houses of poor people in the neighborhood. He had no intention of selling the houses they depended on for survival; that would be forcing people to die.
That's enough.
It's estimated that the land deed for their house is also included. As for why the Fierce Tiger Gang would use their house as a base, it's mainly because there are no disputes over their house.
Even if poor people work hard, they can still cause them a lot of trouble.
There are no disputes about this, which is actually a good development.
Although he and Mu Sheng had settled their accounts, he never expected to encounter Yang Xing, which ultimately led to the annihilation of his gang, with no one escaping.
In the end, the house eventually came back into his hands.
"Ah!!" A scream rang out. Just as they were carrying Scarface Tiger's body out, Zhou Fanhua let out a sharp cry.
Mu Yun maintained a calm demeanor, but his legs were trembling. After all, who wouldn't feel uneasy seeing so many dried corpses?
He breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng walked over and said, "Brother, you two went back to the house to look for your clothes, but you encountered demons there and then fainted. When you woke up, you saw that everyone had turned into dried corpses, and that's how you found me and brought me back."
"We're not at an inn..." Zhou Fanhua looked confused and tried to say something.
"Shut up!" Mu Yun snapped at her. "You just remember whatever Xiao Sheng says. We've been living there so long we're practically growing mold. What's wrong with coming back to get some clothes? That's how you ran into that demon."
Zhou Fanhua shut her mouth. Although she was a bit short-sighted, she wasn't stupid. She knew that Mu Sheng must have a reason for saying that.
Mu Sheng then said, "Since the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang are all dead, this house naturally returns to our hands. There are still a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, land deeds, and antiques inside, which now belong to us."
Zhou Fanhua's eyes lit up: "Really!?"
She hurriedly ran behind Mu Sheng; at this moment, she was fearless.
"You come back here..." Mu Yun shouted angrily, but Mu Sheng stopped him, saying, "Big brother, you should go too. I'll take a portion of the money, and you can manage the rest. But the jewelry should be kept as family heirlooms and should not be sold for at least a few decades. We'll keep the land deeds for our own family and return everyone else's. If we see a deserted place, we'll keep the land deeds there as part of the family property. As for the antiques, we'll bury them. This isn't a good time to sell antiques."
Mu Yun looked at Mu Sheng with complicated emotions. Now that he had gained such a great advantage from him, he let out a sigh.
Given the current situation, Mu Sheng is now in charge of the household.
"Brother, you should start practicing martial arts from now on. In a while, I'll teach you the Five Beasts Yuan Gong." Mu Sheng knew what his elder brother was thinking. In fact, his elder brother had a strong desire for power.
Although the Five Animals and Beasts Yuan Gong is considered an introductory technique of the Zhenyuan Temple, it is not actually a technique of the Zhenyuan Temple itself, and it is not a concern even if outsiders learn it.
The Tiger-Slaying Blade is another example.
The true martial arts of Zhenyuan Temple have not yet been taught to them.
"Okay, I'll come with you." Mu Yun stepped forward and walked towards the other dried corpses. Although he was also a little scared, he still stood tall and did not back down.
When all the dried corpses were piled up in the courtyard, Mu Sheng threw the torch in her hand over.
Flames burned the corpse, flames burned the corpse, and black smoke rose up, carrying with it ashes.
The brothers, Mu Sheng and Mu Yun, remained silent.
...
Mu Sheng returned to the front of the house at Zhenyuan Temple and saw a person standing at the door, quietly looking at him.
"Junior brother." Shang De looked at him expressionlessly.
"Greetings, Senior Brother." Mu Sheng bowed respectfully.
Shang De said expressionlessly, "Junior Brother is now a favorite of Master Jingyu, so there's no need for such pretense."
"Master Jingyu is looking for you. Come with me."
