But for the time being, none of this has anything to do with Mojiang anymore.
……
Sihai Baoxing, Chaifang.
Mo Jiang did not choose to land in the Kunlun Valley, mainly because Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji had already left, and the tunnel leading out of the valley was too narrow.
His bone-shrinking skills weren't very good; even shrinking to 1.7 meters tall, it would still be quite difficult for him to pass through that tunnel.
Upon returning to Sihai Trading Company, Mo Jiang first looked around. The store was not open, indicating that Wan Ji was still out trading.
It was only when he got to the counter that he discovered Wanji had come back and left him a letter.
The letter contained a lot of information, including details of Wanji's recent travels, local observations, and analyses of current events.
They also informed him which sects and forces had secured orders from, along with a list, and asked Mo Jiang to replenish the goods as soon as possible if he had time, and to send someone to notify him.
At the end of the letter, he also mentioned that he had sent some good things to Mojiang.
As instructed in the letter, Mo Jiang pressed a few times on specific bricks under the counter, and a wooden box immediately rose from the ground.
Unlocking the lock, and sneaking into the wooden box, Mo Jiang's expression showed a rare look of surprise.
Because there were two rusty longswords inside the wooden box.
It was that broken sword.
Upon examining the two broken swords, they were identified as the Broken Sword Tianxuan and the Broken Sword Yuheng.
Mo Jiang told Wan Ji to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Broken Sword. He had originally planned to do a quest to get his hands on the Broken Sword once he found out.
But to his surprise, Wanji directly helped him get his hands on the broken sword.
He also left information in the letter, which he had gathered, indicating the approximate location of the remaining broken swords.
"Wow, Wanji's efficiency is just too high."
I put the two broken swords into my inventory. Before the broken swords were unsealed, the only thing worth mentioning about these seven broken swords was their sharpness.
However, if the seal is broken, each sword will have its own unique effect.
The first step to breaking the seal is to collect all the broken swords.
Mojiang then moved the required goods to the warehouse according to Wanji's list and locked it up.
After a while, I'll go to the town at the foot of Wudang Mountain and find the staff of [Sihai Baoxing] to pick up the goods.
Thanks to the items provided by Mojiang, [Sihai Baoxing] is now a well-known trading company in various places.
There are five branches alone.
"Next... let's go to Butterfly Valley."
Unable to think of a way to improve his strength in the short term, Mo Jiang decided to go to Butterfly Valley first.
The Butterfly Valley Healer couple are among the few medical talents in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
100. A 100th chapter in commemoration!
The world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
Mo Jiang rode the Heavenly Tribulation leisurely along the main road, accompanied by five hunting dogs, with a magnificent golden eagle overlooking the land above.
After arriving in this world, Mo Jiang returned to Skaritz and brought them all with him.
With sufficient food and medicine, the warhorses and golden eagles grew extremely rapidly.
Judging from Mo Jiang's current strength, the Henry-level calendula potion is not very useful for treatment, but the gentle life force contained in the extraordinary-level calendula potion is an excellent supplement for the larvae of various creatures.
Even Mo Jiang, who was already in the late stages of puberty, caught the last train of development and grew a few centimeters taller under the stimulation of vitality.
But its greatest benefit is improving the physical condition of Mojiang.
Mo Jiang's early physical attributes were improved thanks to this unlimited supply of extraordinary-level calendula potion.
Mo Jiang's pets have all been given a "development package" of [calendula potion], [stomachic potion], and [chamomile decoction] since they were young. Even though they are not yet adults, they are already among the best in their species in terms of size.
At the same time, these pets all exhibited some unusual phenomena not found in ordinary breeds.
With a whooshing sound, Mo Jiang reached out his right hand and caught the descending golden eagle steadily. The tips of the outermost layer of feathers of the eagle shimmered with a faint golden light under the sunlight.
Occasionally, a cold glint would flash from the tips of its claws, their sharpness capable of easily tearing through leather armor.
That was the effect of the [Development Package], causing Mo Jiang's pet to begin to transform in a certain [Extraordinary] direction.
He took out a piece of raw mutton from his backpack, tore off a strip and threw it to the golden eagle, then threw the remaining mutton, still covered in blood, out. Before it even hit the ground, the five hunting dogs caught it and devoured it.
Although that piece of meat must have weighed three to five pounds, it would only be a snack for five large dogs.
Tianjie trotted along, and since stepping onto the main road, Mojiang, along with his luggage, weighed at least two or three hundred pounds, but the warhorse showed no intention of slowing down or resting.
If Mo Jiang hadn't reined in the horse, it might have been galloping wildly down the road.
There was no way around it; the warhorse had been craving more and more while it was in Skalitz.
Unfortunately, anyone other than Mo Jiang would be thrown off if they dared to ride it, and if it was in a bad mood, it might even kick someone. So, the job of walking the horse had to be done by Mo Jiang alone; no one else could do it.
So part of the reason for this trip was to walk the dog, the horse, and the golden eagle.
The main reason was to try and see if it was possible to recruit Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu to his side or to establish a cooperative relationship.
After all, this world has quite a few strange medicines and poisons, such as the [Black Jade Fracture Rejuvenating Ointment] which can heal comminuted fractures, the [Ten Fragrant Tendon Softening Powder] specifically for martial artists with internal strength, and the [Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment] which has hundreds of thousands of possible combinations...
Not to mention the Shaolin holy medicines like the "Minor Rejuvenation Pill".
Mo Jiang was well aware of the wonders of these things, but he also knew that he was not a professional in the field of medicine. He had neither the ability nor the inclination to get involved in medicine, so finding a qualified person in the medical field to cooperate with became his first choice.
"Yes, Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu, if I remember correctly, should still be having a falling out and living separately. Granny Jinhua will probably come knocking on their door soon, and that's when we can save their lives."
"And then there's Hu Qingniu's sister. I remember she was killed by a scumbag, I think he was the head of the Huashan Sect. I remember now, her name was Xianyu Tong."
As a young man, Hu Qingniu devoted himself to studying medicine, determined to help people and save lives.
Later, someone in the Miao region of Guizhou was poisoned by the Golden Silkworm Gu. Hu Qingniu stayed up for three days and three nights, exhausting his efforts to save him. He and Hu Qingniu became sworn brothers, their bond as strong as that of siblings.
Hu Qingniu even betrothed his younger sister, Hu Qingyang, to him, but later he killed Hu Qingniu's sister. This person was Xianyu Tong, the leader of the Huashan Sect.
Later, Hu Qingniu sought revenge on Xianyu Tong three times, but each time he suffered a crushing defeat, and on the last occasion he almost lost his life at Xianyu Tong's hands.
Mo Jiang sat on his horse, deep in thought, wondering how he could bring Hu Qingniu and his wife under his command, or at least make them some kind of collaborator.
His first priority was naturally to save the two lives from Granny Jin Hua; the surviving Butterfly Valley Healer was exactly what he needed.
Secondly, it should be the head of Xianyu Tong, the leader of the Huashan Sect. For a modern-day Chen Shimei who killed his wife for the position of sect leader, killing him is naturally a matter of course.
The key is to be careful when killing, and not to reveal your Wudang Sect identity.
Just then, a large number of people appeared on the road. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and four Mongol soldiers, wielding long swords, rode up, shouting, "Hurry, hurry!"
People lined the main road in an endless stream, all driven there by Yuan soldiers like livestock, unaware of what had happened.
Mo Jiang quickly attracted the attention of the Yuan soldiers. In fact, anyone who saw Mo Jiang would subconsciously take a few more glances.
Whether it's the magnificent black horse, the fierce golden eagle, or the five formidable hunting dogs beside it, it's clear that their owner is either extremely wealthy or of high status.
Five hunting dogs might be something a wealthy family could afford to keep, but a black horse and a golden eagle are things that ordinary rich families can't even dream of.
Not to mention that although Mo Jiang was wearing a shirt, he was tall and had a commanding presence. He was imposing and gave people the subconscious impression that he was a young and promising official from Dadu.
He followed the crowd of people to a three-way intersection, where he saw a Mongol officer on horseback leading sixty or seventy soldiers, each wielding a large sword.
A Han Chinese interpreter demanded, "What's your surname?"
When the commoner answered, a Yuan soldier next to him would kick him in the buttocks or slap him in the face, and the commoner would hurry past.
When a commoner answered that his surname was Zhang, the Yuan soldier immediately grabbed him and ordered him to stand aside. Another commoner had a newly bought kitchen knife in his basket, and the Yuan soldier also grabbed him and made him stand aside.
As he listened, Mo Jiang began to understand what they meant. It seemed that these Yuan soldiers were targeting people with the surnames Zhang, Wang, Liu, Li, and Zhao. Anyone who belonged to one of these five surnames or was carrying a sharp weapon such as a kitchen knife or a woodcutter's knife would be specifically singled out.
This immediately reminded Mo Jiang of something.
Due to the tyranny of the court at the time, there were many rebellions among the people. The Mongol ministers wanted to kill all the Han people, but they could not kill them all. So the Grand Tutor Bayan issued a cruel decree to kill all Han people with the surnames Zhang, Wang, Liu, Li and Zhao.
Since the surnames Zhang, Wang, Liu, and Li are the most common among the Han people, and the Zhao surname is that of the Song Dynasty imperial family, the elimination of these five surnames would severely damage the vitality of the Han people.
"Heh, interesting."
Mo Jiang chuckled softly, but the smile on his face carried an inescapable air of bloodshed and brutality.
It's like someone who's just hungry finding a lunch.
"Perfect, let's use you guys to test Dongjun and the others' teamwork."
101. How many of you have to die before I can leave?
Soon, the Yuan soldiers pulled twenty or thirty people aside, drew their curved swords, and prepared to kill these civilians.
Just then, several Yuan soldiers suddenly let out a scream. Several dark figures flashed by, and the soldiers suddenly fell to the ground. When the others went over to take a look, they found that their ankles were broken.
Several holes were bitten through his feet by fangs, and the wounds were bleeding profusely, with white bone fragments visible.
The Mongolian officer immediately shouted, "Enemy attack!"
The Mongol officer then drew his long sword and slashed sharply to his side. A giant dog was silently approaching him, attempting to launch a sneak attack.
Faced with the long sword, the giant dog twisted and bent its body, narrowly dodging the attack. At the same time, it leaped up with its hind legs and opened its huge mouth to bite the Mongol officer's throat.
If you get bitten hard, your throat, esophagus, and trachea will all be pulled out.
Under Mo Jiang's training, these five hunting dogs were no longer ordinary hunting dogs, but ferocious beasts capable of hunting and killing on the battlefield.
The Mongol officer was a veteran of countless battles. He immediately rolled on the ground to dodge the fatal attack, but while he could dodge the attack on the ground, he could not dodge the attack from the sky.
With a fierce cry, the golden eagle swooped down from the sky, its sharp talons gripping the Mongolian officer's head with perfect precision, piercing his eyeballs.
"what!!!!"
Its eyeballs were pierced by the golden eagle's sharp talons, and it immediately lost its sight. The golden eagle did not linger after its successful attack, as it knew that a large creature like a human had exceeded its own weight-bearing limit.
It immediately flapped its wings and soared upwards.
The blind Mongol officer swung his sword wildly, but missed all enemies, instead wounding several Yuan soldiers.
Just then, the sound of arrows piercing the air rang out one after another, and five arrows hit the vital points of the Yuan soldiers in succession.
Chest, eyes, throat, forehead, temples...
The arrows were so vicious that anyone struck by them would die instantly.
The armor worn by Yuan soldiers was no stronger than a piece of paper in the face of a 200-gram armor-piercing arrow.
"The Condor Hero!"
"We're no match for them, run!"
"My lord, and..."
His deadly archery skills naturally made him a target for the Yuan soldiers, who immediately trembled and almost fled.
If you encounter a sharpshooter in an open, unprotected area, and the two sides are more than ten paces apart, it's basically a massacre.
But if they want to escape, they still have to ask if the Heavenly Tribulation agrees.
Having received the order to charge, Tianjie excitedly reared up and began a frenzied charge.
The combined weight of the men and horses, measured in tons, began their charge, and these Yuan soldiers could only lament that their parents hadn't given them two more legs.
When the warhorses charged, the Yuan soldiers were all thrown into the air, and the sound of bones breaking and cracking could be clearly heard. Some Yuan soldiers fell to the ground and only twitched a few times before they stopped breathing, clearly beyond saving.
After charging for more than a hundred meters, the Heavenly Tribulation slowly slowed down, then turned back and continued its charge. The Yuan soldiers even saw what appeared to be excitement in the eyes of that giant horse.
Moments later, all the Yuan soldiers present were killed, leaving only the people of the five major clans trembling in fear.
"Hurry home! If you don't want the soldiers to come knocking on your door today, keep it to yourself!"
After leaving a word of advice, Mo Jiang rode away, but instead of heading towards Butterfly Valley, he rode towards the nearest town.
Dozens of Yuan soldiers died here today, and the government will certainly not let it go. These civilians who escaped will inevitably be reinvestigated and arrested.
Once they are caught, these people are doomed.
This would make Mo Jiang's rescue efforts seem futile.
Mo Jiang disliked doing useless work, so he chose to add some burdens to the government.
