The eyes of the villagers were all focused on the village chief.
They couldn't figure out why the village chief didn't pass it on to Lin Mu even though he had a skill that made them all fearful.
The village chief's expression turned gloomy.
After a moment, he spoke slowly in a low tone: "I used to think that I was omnipotent, that I was upright, and that nothing could make me bend my spine."
"Until one day, I realized that I was just a plaything in the hands of others, and from then on I became a hunchbacked old man."
The villagers fell silent.
The village chief walked to a pine tree in the courtyard and looked at the straight pine tree with his eyes full of nostalgia.
"I also want to be like you and pass on all my skills to Xiao Mu, but I don't dare."
His voice revealed deep disappointment, "I'm afraid that Xiao Mu will become like me one day after learning my skills."
"village head."
The scholar felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't question you."
"Nothing to apologize for."
The village chief smiled and said, "Everyone is doing this for Xiao Mu's good, not to mention Xiao Mu is leaving. Even if you don't ask, I will take the initiative to say these things."
"Ha, let's continue talking about the golden dragon vine. This is a great treasure. Even I have never seen it."
The drunkard laughed and relaxed the atmosphere.
"Komu's intellect is not inferior to ours, and he has his own sense of control regarding the Golden Flood Dragon Vine. Previously, I thought that he told us about the Golden Flood Dragon Vine because he was not aware of the horror of the Tarsus treasure, so he was careless."
The village chief said: "But now it seems that I was wrong. Xiao Mu would say it was because he has absolutely trusted us."
"Even so, it's still too careless."
The painter frowned and said, "There are some things that even if you trust me, you can't say."
Lin Mu was not unhappy at all and said sincerely: "Yes, I remember it."
His attitude made the villagers even more happy.
With unparalleled qualifications, unparalleled avenues, and such an excellent character, it was really their luck that God would send such a successor to them.
In the past, they had a lot of resentment towards the fate of Tarsus, but with the appearance of Lin Mu, a lot of this resentment was resolved.
God sent Lin Mu to them, which was not too harsh on them and finally gave them hope.
"The matter of the golden dragon vine ends here."
qL11
The village chief said solemnly: "From now on, Xiao Mu, you should handle everything about the golden dragon vine by yourself. Don't tell anyone, including us."
"Also, everyone else here has taken the initiative to erase the memory of the Golden Dragon Vine, and I will supervise it."
Lin Mu was slightly shocked, he didn't expect the village chief to be so strict.
Seeing Lin Mu's thoughts, the painter sighed: "Xiao Mu, the village chief did this not because he didn't trust us, but because he was careful not to make any big mistakes. When it comes to something like a treasure like Tarsus, you can't be too careful.
"
"We are all expelled people. There is no guarantee that one day we will be captured by the Holy One. If the Holy One reads our souls and discovers the memory of the golden dragon vine, it will surely affect the whole village."
"The sage is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs. In order to obtain the golden dragon vine, the sage will not talk about mercy."
Hearing this, Lin Mu felt ashamed.
At this moment, he knew that there was still a gap between his strategies and those of veteran Qi practitioners like the village chief.
He only thought that he would be fine if he trusted the villagers, but he did not expect that there was such a deep connection behind it.
If it is true as the painter said, then he told the villagers about the golden dragon vine today, which is equivalent to harming the villagers.
Then, the villagers wiped away the memories of the golden dragon vine in their minds.
After confirming that other villagers had erased relevant memories, the village chief no longer hesitated and also erased relevant memories.
After a while, the villagers' faces showed confusion.
They still clearly remember what Lin Mu said to them because he was about to leave, and the village chief called them here.
But they can't remember what it was exactly.
They are not stupid. They knew this would happen, and they must have erased this memory themselves.
Immediately no one went to ask Lin Mu again.
"Let's go out."
The village chief said calmly.
At night, Lin Mu took out the golden dragon cloud and gave it to the blacksmith, asking the blacksmith to help him hide it.
After all, Jin Jiao Yun is also a peerless treasure. With his current strength, he is not able to save Jin Jiao Yun.
So I asked the blacksmith to modify it so that others wouldn't see that it was Jin Jiaoyun.
The blacksmith worked all night and spent the whole night arranging the formation on the golden dragon cloud.
the next day.
Early morning.
The blacksmith handed Jin Jiaoyun back to Lin Mu.
At this moment, the golden cloud is completely unrecognizable. It is no longer a golden cloud, but a black cloud.
Lin Mu renamed it "Black Mist Cloud".
There is also the Golden Dragon Gourd. If he wants to use it in the future, he also plans to tell the world about the Immortal Killing Gourd.
After making all preparations, Lin Mu formally bid farewell to the villagers.
"Village chief, seniors, I have to leave."
Lin Mu stood at the entrance of the village and said goodbye to the villagers.
"Remember to come back and have a look in the future."
There were tears in the tailor's eyes.
"I will."
Lin Mu said seriously.
"By the way, after you go out, be careful of Zhushan and Yousushan's disciples."
The hunchbacked village chief said.
"Why?"
Lin Mu was puzzled.
"They left a tracking talisman on you before. This tracking talisman has been erased by me, but it is very likely that your appearance has been transmitted to Dongtu through the tracking talisman."
The hunchback village chief said.
"..."
Lin Mu was speechless for a while, he didn't expect such a hidden danger.
He hasn't been to Dongtu yet, but he has enemies in Dongtu. This life is really a bit fucked up.
However, he wanted to be open-minded. Since this was an established fact that could not be changed, he needed to think more about it, but he quickly forgot about it.
At worst, the soldiers will come later and cover up the water and earth.
Whoosh!
Then, he took out the black mist cloud, turned over and stepped on it.
With a sudden sound, Lin Mu flew more than ten light years away from the village.
This is because he is not familiar with the operation, otherwise he will fly further.
But when he flew here, he suddenly stopped and flew back to the Stone Statue Village again.
Seeing Lin Mu return, the villagers were still standing at the entrance of the village, with puzzled faces.
Lin Mu stood on the black mist cloud and suddenly knelt down to the villagers: "Masters, my disciple Lin Mu is here to kowtow. This time I go out, I will definitely not disgrace the names of my masters."
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and left quickly.
After Lin Mu left, the villagers all looked at each other, with smiles on their faces, and their eyes were extremely complicated, showing emotion, pride, and reluctance.
They knew that Lin Mu's last words meant that Lin Mu recognized them as their masters.
From now on, Lin Mu will be the disciple of the eleven of them.
"Old Bear."
Riding in the black mist cloud, Lin Mu had to admit that it was extremely refreshing.
When he was in the Dark Realm, he could only cover hundreds of light years in one step, but in the ancient world, he could only cover one hundredth of a light year in one step.
It was impossible for him not to be depressed because of this contrast.
But now, with the black mist cloud, he once again regained that refreshing feeling of soaring into the clouds.
