Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, then gently took Uncle Ju's left hand, and his expression suddenly changed.
I saw Uncle Ju holding a blood-red token in his left hand.
The surface of the token emitted bursts of faint red light, seeping into Uncle Ju's palm like a liquid.
"what?"
Shi Mu was slightly startled, hesitated, and carefully pulled the token out of Master Ju's hand.
The token was three inches in size and had a rectangular shape. One side was engraved with a strange pattern, which seemed to be a human-shaped monster with a ghost face. On the other side were some strange fonts the size of a human head. It was definitely not anything Shi Mu had ever seen.
Word.
Holding the blood-red token in his hand, a cold feeling passed over him, and the red light emitted touched Shi Mu's palm, but it did not penetrate into it like Master Ju.
Shi Mu looked at the token, shook his head, and was about to put the token back when he looked at Master Ju's left hand and his expression changed.
Master Ju's left hand, at some point, became like the rest of his body. The originally smooth skin obviously relaxed, turned blue and black, and began to emit bursts of stench.
"How could it be? Is it because I took off this token?" Shi Mu was startled.
He glanced at the blood-red token. This thing was quite magical and seemed to have the effect of keeping the corpse from decaying.
Shi Mu shook his head. Although this thing looked good, since it was Master Ju's relic, he naturally would not take it away casually and put it intact back into Master Ju's left hand.
He stood up slowly, turned around and walked towards the outside of the secret room.
Uncle Ju is a spiritual level sorcerer with an extraordinary status. He is dying in his own residence at this moment. As the first person to discover it, he must report it to the sect for knowledge both emotionally and rationally.
After a while, Shi Mu walked out of the secret room passage and came to the stone building.
"What's going on down there? How's that Fatty Ju doing?" As soon as Shi Mu came up, the parrot immediately flew over.
"Uncle Ju is dead, and his body is starting to rot underneath." Shi Mu shook his head and sighed.
When the parrot heard this, his body stiffened, and a somewhat sad look appeared in his big eyes.
Shi Mu ignored the parrot and quickly walked out of the stone house and walked towards the sect's law enforcement hall.
Half an hour later, he and an old man in gray robes hurried to Uncle Ju's stone building residence.
This old man in gray robe is the referee named Elder Zhen in the competition. He is the law enforcement elder of the Black Demon Sect Law Enforcement Hall.
The two hurriedly walked into the stone building and came to the entrance of the secret room.
Shi Mu's expression was slightly startled. The parrot had gone somewhere, and no trace of it could be seen in the stone building along the way.
"Is this right here?" Just when Shi Mu was stunned, the old man in gray robe looked at the secret room passage and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Yes." Shi Mu came back to his senses and said.
The old man in gray robe nodded and walked in.
The two of them soon came to the secret room. The old man in gray robe was a little moved when he saw the body of Uncle Ju.
He waved his hand, and a ball of white light emitted, covering Master Ju's body.
After a moment, the old man in gray robe raised his hand and dispersed the white light.
"Master Nephew Ju has been dead for a long time, it should be nearly a month. There are no signs of injury on the body. The cause of death should be that the spirit has dissipated." The old man in gray robe pondered for a while and said.
After hearing this, Shi Mu became more confident in his prediction.
The old man in gray robe turned his eyes to Shi Mu and asked:
"Nephew Shi, why are you here today?"
"I happened to come to visit Master Ju today for something. I knocked on the door for a long time but no one responded. I found that the door was unlocked, so I came in without permission. I have studied formations with Master Ju before, and I know
His secret room is located, I didn't expect to see such a scene after entering." Shi Mu said with a sigh.
"I see, it's all thanks to you, otherwise it would have been who knows how long it took for Master Nephew Ju's body to be discovered." The old man in gray robe wanted to ask something more, but he seemed to think of something immediately and nodded directly.
"Elder Zhen has praised me. These are what I should do." Shi Mu said.
"I will inform the sect about this and take care of the funeral arrangements for Master Nephew Ju." The old man in gray robe waved his hand, indicating that Shi Mu could leave.
"Elder Zhen, in fact, this disciple came to visit Master Ju this time to ask for some of the venom of the Golden Lizard to refine talismans. The lizard in the cage was the Golden Lizard, and it is now dead.
Can you allow me to take away the poison sac in your body?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and he pointed to the silver cage on the ground beside him.
Hearing this, the gray-robed old man glanced at the golden lizard and nodded.
"Thank you, Elder Zhen." Shi Mu's face was filled with joy and he bowed his hands.
He opened the cage, pulled out the body of the golden lizard, took out a dagger, and carefully pierced the left side of the golden lizard's abdomen, making a cut with some difficulty, revealing the red and white lizard meat inside.
Shi Mu had hunted many lizards in the barbarian wilderness, and he had a relatively clear understanding of the internal conditions of this monster beast.
The Golden Lizard is a metallic beast with solid flesh and no trace of decay.
Shi Mu rummaged for a moment, his face suddenly brightened, and he carefully made a few more cuts on the lizard's belly with his dagger, and took out a yellow ball the size of a fist, which emitted a strange smell. It was the golden lizard.
poison sac.
He looked happy, took out a jade box, carefully placed the poison bag inside, and put it into the Chenmiao Ring.
"Thank you, Elder Zhen." Shi Mu stood up and saluted the gray-robed old man.
The old man in gray robe was looking at Fatty Ju's body at the moment, a little dazed, and then he recovered after hearing Shi Mu's words.
"It's a small matter, nephew Shi. Don't be polite. The life here is heavy and it's not suitable to stay too long. You'd better leave as soon as possible. Leave the rest to me." The old man in gray robe said.
"Yes." Shi Mu nodded, glanced at Master Ju's body, sighed in his heart again, turned around and walked outside.
After a while, he walked out of the stone building, his expression calm again.
The road of cultivation is always accompanied by life and death, so naturally he is not the kind of sentimental person.
He went down the mountain along the mountain road. Not long after, a sound of flapping wings came from behind. A colorful parrot flew out of the woods near the mountain road and landed in front of Shi Mu. It was Cai'er.
"Cai'er, why did you come here?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows.
"That room is full of stench, of course I won't stay there any longer!" Cai'er shouted.
"Uncle Ju is dead now, why weren't you automatically sent back to your own interface?" Shi Mu asked with a thought in his heart.
"Huh! That Fatty Ju suddenly died suddenly. Now I can no longer leave this world and return to my original plane." Cai'er screamed, and at the end of the sentence, a slightly sad look appeared in its eyes.
"Is there such a thing?" Shi Mu was a little surprised, but he had some guesses in his heart.
As living creatures, the parrot and the golden lizard did not require much mental energy, so Uncle Ju kept them by his side for a long time as pets.
Now that Uncle Ju has unfortunately passed away, Cai'er naturally cannot return to the other world on her own.
"Then what are your plans for the future?" he asked immediately.
"I'm not familiar with the place here, so I plan to find another master. I think you're quite pleasing to me, so I'll follow you from now on." Cai'er flapped her wings and said.
"Follow me? No!" Shi Mu was stunned for a moment, then refused immediately without thinking.
This parrot is too noisy, and Master Ju also said that it has no other abilities except talking and high intelligence. It will definitely be a big trouble to have it with you.
"What! As a noble Qian Yingqu, I want to follow you, but you dare to dislike me!" Cai'er was furious and screamed.
"Aside from being talkative, what else do you have?" Shi Mu rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Hmph, Fatty Ju told you that I am useless, and you believed me. How naive! If I am so useless, how could Fatty Ju spend so much money to summon me to this world?" the parrot sneered.
"What do you mean?" Shi Mu was startled when he heard this and asked tentatively.
"The special ability of our Gan Ying clan is that after signing a contract with you humans, we can share our vision with each other for a period of time through the power of the contract." The parrot said proudly.
When Shi Mu heard this, his eyes widened and his heart beat suddenly.
If what the parrot said is true, having such a spiritual pet is like having an extra pair of eyes.
And parrots can fly, so they are perfect as spies.
"Are you telling the truth?" He was silent for a moment and asked slowly.
"Of course, how could I lie to you?" the parrot said disdainfully.
"If this is the case, you are indeed very useful. It's not impossible to follow me... However, you don't hesitate to tell me this ability, and you must choose to follow me. It won't just be because you need someone to take care of you in this world. There should be others. Is it for other reasons?" He nodded slightly and suddenly asked with a change of topic.
The parrot rolled its eyes and spoke again after a while:
"Of course, I also need you to do something for me."
"What's going on? You'd better make it clear." Shi Mu said expressionlessly.
"I was deceived into this world by Fatty Ju using despicable means. This is not my hometown after all. I can recognize you as my master and do what I can for you, but you must also promise that you will be strong enough in the future. You want to send me back to my hometown." The parrot said with an unusually serious expression.
"According to the three conditions Uncle Ju told me, if I don't have the coordinates of the alien world where you are, and the remains of a powerful creature, how can I send you back?" Shi Mu was speechless.
"It all depends on people, but you are not strong enough now. When the conditions are met, you will find a way!" Parrot said.
Shi Mu had a look of surprise on his face. He looked at the colorful parrot in front of him, his eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded:
"Okay, then I promise you."
The parrot quacked twice and flapped its wings twice, looking quite happy.
Shi Mu looked around, muttering something in his mouth, and wisps of black light appeared in his hand, which quickly condensed into a black rune, which was the master-servant contract rune.
He waved his hand, and black runes floated towards the parrot's head.
The parrot was also very straightforward, letting the runes melt into its head.
Along with the contract runes, a ray of Shi Mu's consciousness merged with the parrot's soul, and a trace of connection was created between the two minds.
