Dugujiu also took a look, came to Li Mu and helped him up, saying: "Brother, what should we do now?"
"Let the brothers find out how many people there are on this mountain and find a way to send the news to Duke Tang."
Dugujiu nodded: "Okay, then you -"
"He hasn't seen through me yet, so I'm safe for the time being." Li Mu patted the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle on his chest and said, "With this thing here, he can't hurt me!"
Dugujiu had seen the power of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, and knew that what Li Mu said was true, so he nodded and said: "Then take care, I will come find you later."
Having said that, Dugujiu winked at his subordinates. The men he brought were all top secret guards, outstanding masters. Everyone was very skilled, and they also had sharp weapons like crossbows for self-defense. As long as their secrets were not exposed,
, there is definitely no problem with self-protection.
The crowd dispersed, and Li Mu looked at the direction in which Cui Yuzheng disappeared. He hesitated again and again, but did not pass. Just at this moment, a black and white figure with a 'fat head and big ears' appeared in his eyes, running along the road with a squeaking sound. Behind it,
There was a girl following, it was Zhen Yu. How could these two guys get together? Li Mu was confused and followed her quietly.
…
People in brown clothes are very common in Lingshen Mountain. Li Mu walks around freely without anyone caring about him. The saint is about to give birth to a child. Everyone is busy with this matter and has no time for him to care. Even if someone sees Li Mu, they will not care about him.
Just treat him as a person who was ordered to protect him and don't pay too much attention.
Li Mu followed one man and one panda to the back door of a small courtyard. He looked at the two guys from a distance and was stopped by two women dressed as holy envoys. The two seemed to interrogate Zhen Yu about something, and then Pang Da was
He was allowed to enter the small courtyard, but Zhen Yu was blocked outside. Li Mu was not surprised by this result at all. Wang Ou was about to give birth. As an outsider, Zhen Yu, if not for his identity as a Miao man and the fact that he was sending the holy beast back to the mountain, would not have been able to do so.
If you can't get here, how can you be allowed in?
Li Mu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He quietly came behind Zhen Yu and put his hand on her shoulder: "Hey, who is it?"
Zhenyu was startled, turned around quickly, and saw the brown clothes on Li Mu. She was stunned for a moment, and then saluted: "My lord, I am the daughter of Gewa, and I am here to deliver medicine to the saint."
Gwa?
Li Mu didn't know what these two words meant. Is it a Miao language or a name? But since it was related to medicine, he should probably be a doctor or something. Seeing that she couldn't recognize him, Li Mu was determined. If he was recognized, he would
But there's no guarantee that Zhenyu won't spill the beans.
"What kind of medicine? Bring it to me and take a look."
"No." Zhenyu clutched the small bag at her waist tightly, shook her head and refused, "I have to hand it to the saint in person."
"The saint is giving birth to a baby right now. You can't go in. I can help you take her in."
"Huh?" Zhenyu glanced at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "You can't go in if the saint girl has a baby, right? How can you help me?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with Li Mu. Zhenyu frowned and asked: "Who are you?
?”
This sentence was said in Miao language, and Li Mu was immediately confused. He was not a Miao person, so of course he couldn't speak it and couldn't understand it.
Seeing his dazed look, Zhen Yu took half a step back and shouted when she was out of the range of Li Mu's arms. Li Mu quickly rushed over and covered her mouth. The little girl was also ruthless. Seeing that she couldn't get away from Li Mu, she opened her mouth.
Just one bite made Li Mu's face twist in pain, and he gritted his teeth to hold back without making a sound.
"It's me! Li Mu!" Li Mu lowered his voice and told his identity. Zhenyu still didn't let go until Li Mu took off the mask and she saw it, and then she let go.
Poor Li Mu, half of his palm was bitten and bleeding.
"Are you a dog?!"
Zhen Yu's head was full of questions. In the Miao area, the twelve zodiac animals were not very popular. Li Mu threw away his hand and said angrily: "I can't explain to you, let's go!"
Li Mu put on his mask and pulled Zhen Yu away. Although he was anxious about Wang Ou's situation, he obviously couldn't get close now. It was useless to be anxious. It was better to do something useful.
Zhenyu was dragged by Li Mu to the side of the cave. At this time, Cui Yuzheng's cave was the safest place. Standing conspicuously at the door, Li Mu hesitated and dragged Zhenyu into the cave.
Zhenyu almost fainted from the smell of blood in the cave. She threw away Li Mu's hand and held on to the wall of the cave to vomit: "You brought me to this place, it's so disgusting!"
"Your leader's bedroom." Li Mu took out the fire stick that he got from the body of the man in brown clothes from his arms. The fire stick lit up when the wind caught the wind, and flickered with a faint light. With this light, Li Mu could see his surroundings clearly.
environment.
The cave was not deep, about five square meters. There was a stone bed and a set of quilts on the stone bed, which looked like sheepskin. There were blood stains everywhere on the walls and on the floor. In the corner, there was a pile of bones of an unknown animal.
Zhenyu walked over curiously, pulled it with his hands, and screamed in fright. A skull bone rolled out of it like a football.
Zhenyu's faith showed signs of collapse, and she said in a trembling voice: "Leader, Lord, he——"
"Don't be afraid," Li Mu picked up the skeleton and threw it aside, blocking Zhen Yu's view: "Maybe your leader has a special hobby, and it may not necessarily be cannibalism."
This kind of comfort was worse than no comfort at all. Zhenyu burst into tears. But she was not scared to cry by Li Mu: "The leader must have practiced forbidden arts! It's over, it's over, our Snake Spirit Sect is going to be over!"
"Forbidden Technique?" Four words popped into Li Mu's head, 'Earth Explosion Star'? What the hell, have you traveled through the Naruto world?
"It's a taboo of our Snake Spirit Sect." Since Li Mu saw it, there was nothing to hide. Zhen Yu explained: "Our Snake Spirit Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and the leaders of the past generations are all extremely talented people, each with their own achievements.
Each generation of leader will, before dying, leave behind what they are most proud of and learn for future generations of leaders to refer to. There was a leader who studied medical skills all his life, but what he left behind in the end was not medical skills, but forbidden skills."
Li Mu became even more confused when he heard it, and said: "What forbidden technique? I talked about it for a long time, but I didn't understand a word."
"A few years before the leader died, he began to study the art of immortality. But in the end he failed, but he left his research behind and wanted future generations to inherit it. However, because this method was too cruel, it was abandoned by future generations.
The leader has listed it as a forbidden technique, and no one is allowed to practice it."
"What kind of forbidden technique is it?" Li Mu said with a bitter smile. Why are you so annoying when talking about something?
"My father mentioned it to me." Zhen Yu's little face was full of seriousness: "He said that this leader believes that people are composed of soul and body. The body will age, but the soul will not. If aging can be eliminated,
If you nourish and transform your body, you should be able to live longer."
"so what?"
"His method," Zhenyu's lips trembled, as if he thought of something terrible. After a while, he continued: "He first took out the blood of a living person and put it into his own body. Later, there was a living person.
The man's arm was sawed off and replaced on his own body, and at the end of the day, he started eating - "
Li Mu was also speechless. Isn't this just a murderer?
However, he was a little curious and asked: "Did he successfully change his arm?"
"There is no record." Zhenyu shook his head and said: "But there is a record that after blood exchange, the skin will melt. Also, if it is stained with human flesh and blood, the eyes will turn green, the lips will turn purple, and finally
Crazy, insane."
What Zhen Yu said was beyond Li Mu's knowledge. Although he came from time travel, in his era, such things were rare.
"I saw your leader." Li Mu told Zhen Yu what he saw and said, "It seems you are right. He must have used this forbidden technique to change himself from being paralyzed and unable to move.
It became what it is now.”
"What can we do!" Zhen Yu cried in despair. The Miao people have always followed the leader of the Snake Spirit. A leader who is bound to go crazy, a leader who has broken through the bottom line of human nature, who knows where he will lead the Miao people!
"Wouldn't it be enough to just kill him?" Li Mu said a solution in an understated way: "Didn't you tell me that it was the saint who helped you do things originally? Whether or not you have a leader will not have any impact on your life. He is now gone.
After it has become like this, keeping him is a hidden danger and a scourge to your Miao territory!"
"No!" Zhenyu said with a cry: "You can't kill the leader, no way!"
"Why not!" Li Mu frowned and said, "Don't you even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? Stop being so loyal and think about it carefully. What benefits has your leader brought to you? Is it worth treating him like this?
?”
"No," Zhenyu cried: "If the leader dies, the saint will also die. Their lives are connected!"
Li Mu laughed angrily and said: "What kind of rule is this? Is it possible that if your leader dies, your saint will be buried as a martyr? I tell you, she is my wife, and I will not let her die!"
"It's not about being buried in a martyrdom," Zhenyu stamped her feet anxiously and said, "Can you let me finish my sentence without interrupting? Do you know why there are saints in this generation?" Zhenyu cried and told what she knew.
The inside story is all revealed: the person chosen by the Snake Spirit is Cui Yuzheng. Cui Yuzheng is weak and sick, so the Snake Spirit cannot stay. By some combination of circumstances, he ends up in Wang Ou's body. Only with Cui Yuzheng's blood can Wang Ou survive. If Cui Yuzheng dies, the Snake Spirit will
If the spirit cannot be nourished by his blood, it will ask for Wang Ou's vitality to an unlimited extent, and soon she will grow old and die.
"Is this true?" When Li Mu heard this, he instinctively didn't believe it, but he also felt that Zhenyu wouldn't lie to him. This little girl couldn't make up such a careful story.
"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes." Zhenyu cried: "The Saint sent someone to deliver a letter to my father, hoping that he would help her find a solution. My father worked hard and practiced a skill
Furnace tonic. But this tonic is only a temporary solution. This medicine requires too many medicinal materials. Even if the country is extremely rich, it is impossible to supply it every day. If you stop using the medicine, you will die!"
Li Mu gradually understood, what a fool, this woman. Her intention is to ensure that the child is born! She is afraid that Cui Yuzheng will force her to die, so she wants these medicines. If Cui Yuzheng dies, with these medicines, she can also
She gave birth to the child successfully, but she no longer cared about her own life.
"I won't let her die."
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, Zhen Yu stopped crying and said, "Let's go."
"No!" Li Mu flatly refused and said, "My wife and children are here, where should I go?"
"Even if you win, so what?" Zhenyu asked; "The leader can commit suicide, but can you still stop him from committing suicide?"
"I'll tie him up and find someone to watch him!"
"It's useless!" Zhenyu shook his head and said: "My father is the best Miao doctor. I have followed my father since I was a child. If a person wants to die, there are countless ways. If you tie him up, he can bite his tongue and commit suicide. And
Don’t forget, what our Miao people are best at is poison. The leader has read the manuscripts left by previous leaders. Even if he is not good at it, he will definitely know it. If he wants to die, he can do it no matter what."
Li Mu was speechless. He knew what Zhen Yu said was right. It is difficult for a person to live, but it is easy for a person to die.
"You'd better leave. If you leave, the leader won't be able to find you, and he won't think about death. With a child tied up, the saint won't think about death. Isn't it good for people to live? You have to take care of everyone.
Are you happy if you are forced to death?"
"I--"
Li Mu was a little shaken. He didn't know whether it was right for him to persist.
"Let's go!"
Zhenyu pushed him out, and Li Mu was so distraught that she pushed him out of the cave.
"It's you!"
Suddenly, a person appeared. Li Mu looked up and saw a terrifying face. His body was covered with mucus melted from flesh and blood, and he looked extremely disgusting. Two people held umbrellas for him to block the sun, and the situation did not worsen.
But it still looks pretty bad.
"I should have guessed it was you!" Cui Yuzheng laughed horribly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Mu's throat! Li Mu wanted to touch the Storm Pear Blossom Needle, but thought that if Cui Yuzheng died, Wang Ou, who was giving birth, would also die.
, hesitated for a moment, and dropped his hands feebly.
He passed out.
Cui Yuzheng threw Li Mu to the ground, and two men in brown clothes pulled Li Mu up and tied him up with ropes.
"Are you Gwa's daughter?"
The deep fear of the leader made Zhenyu kneel on the ground: "Yes, Zhenyu, the daughter of Gewa, has met the leader."
"Do you know you were wrong?"
"..." Zhenyu remained silent and did not answer.
"Well, she deserves to be the daughter of Elder Gewa, she has backbone." Cui Yuzheng sneered and said: "I won't kill you, at least not now. After a few days, I have gathered the Miao soldiers and started an uprising.
When the time comes, I’ll kill you and Li Mu Jiqi first!”
After that, he ordered the man in brown behind him: "Take them away and put them in a water prison! Remember, don't let them die!"
"Also, I'm worried about everyone, strictly check their identities, and find all the Tang people who have sneaked in!!"
