Once it comes, make peace with it. Lin Mu calmed down and said calmly.
"I can tell by your tone that you have definitely mastered the core secret. There's nothing I can do about it but you can't."
Song Xu saw through Lin Mu's thoughts, "You can rest assured that I will indeed not do anything to anger you. Once I fail to arrest or interrogate you, I'm afraid you will be insulated from the target I am chasing for life. This
The result is something I cannot bear."
"So, now I just want to have a frank talk with you."
"In this case, I will tell the truth."
Lin Mu looked sincere, "I have indeed received the inheritance from the ancient gods."
"oh?"
Song Xu's eyes flashed slightly, "I don't ask you to share the ancient god's inheritance with me, because the ancient god's inheritance is priceless, and my conditions are still the same as during the day. If you master the ancient god's inheritance, you will become an ancient god sooner or later in the future.
, and I want to be that pope.”
"very good."
Lin Mu seemed to be a little excited, but he controlled it forcefully and looked complacent. "Mr. Song is the most wise man in the Yan Kingdom. If you can help me, I will be even more powerful, so there is no need to worry about the big thing failing."
"I think so too."
Song Xu took a sip of tea and smiled, "Just out of caution, before you and I cooperate, Lin Mu, can you prove that you have indeed mastered the inheritance of the ancient gods?"
"Of course, don't get me wrong. This is not to doubt you, but as I said, just out of caution."
"I know this."
From beginning to end, Song Xu seemed very sincere, and Lin Mu would naturally not refuse such a reasonable request.
But he didn't take out anything immediately. Instead, he turned his eyes and said, "Before that, I need you to swear an oath, otherwise I won't be able to trust you completely."
"What oath do you want from me?"
Song Xu said with a smile.
"It's very simple. From now on, you will be my pope. You will be loyal to me forever and cannot betray you."
Lin Mu looked at Song Xu and said, "You are a Taiwei, so you must have made a lot of promises. I will only truly trust you after you take the oath."
"good."
Song Xu's smile deepened. This Lin Mu had good ambitions and methods, but he was still a little behind in experience.
"I, Song Xu, hereby swear that from now on I will be Lin Mu's pope. I will always be loyal to Lin Mu and will never betray him."
Normally, Song Xu would be a man of great promise.
But if the benefits are greater than the promise, he will break the promise without hesitation.
A person who sticks to his word and doesn't know how to adapt will not become a Lieutenant of Yan State.
The current situation is like this. In order to obtain the ancient god's inheritance, he has to be a promise-breaker.
After hearing Song Xu finish his oath, a relieved smile appeared on Lin Mu's face.
Then, he took out an ancient animal skin from the space ring.
This animal skin was cut from the clothes of a corpse of a god and demon. Although it had no special functions, it was very old and made of special materials.
On the animal skin, he copied part of the ancient god's method, beginning with a nine-character mantra.
Song Xu's eyesight was naturally not as good as ordinary people's. He could tell at a glance that the animal skin was very old and had an unusual aura. There was no negative aura on it and it would not threaten his life.
He didn't pay attention to it for a moment. He took the animal skin paper and saw some content written on it. The beginning was: "Those who are facing a battle should all move forward in formation."
What follows is a mysterious technique.
"The method of the ancient gods?"
Song Xu's heart suddenly trembled.
But he was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly controlled his emotions and glanced at the first nine characters, "Why do these nine characters seem to have no connection with the following exercises?"
"These nine words are an ancient god's incantation and the essence of this technique. Only by reciting them can this ancient god's technique be truly unlocked."
Lin Mu said with a calm expression.
Song Xu didn't think much about it. Although he remained calm on the surface, deep down, he was still affected by the ancient god's method.
Moreover, he just chanted nine words, and he didn't think there would be any trap.
Lin Mu sneered in his heart. No matter how smart Song Xu was, he would not know that the trap was in these nine words. After all, the nine-word mantra was the soul clan's secret method. Not even the ancient gods knew it, let alone
Song Xu.
However, Song Xu's caution was beyond his expectation.
"Is there anything special about the way you read these nine words? Please read it to me."
Although he didn't think there were any traps in the simple nine words, Song Xu's cautious instinct made him say it habitually.
In this regard, Lin Mu did not hesitate at all and read the nine words directly.
The nine-character mantra will only take effect after one party makes a promise and the other party has the origin of the soul race. Lin Mu naturally has no worries about any problems with reading these nine words.
Song Xu didn't have much doubt at all, it was just instinctive habit. After hearing Lin Mu recite the nine-character mantra, he didn't think much and recited the nine-character mantra.
After reciting the nine-character mantra, he felt something was wrong. It was not that he had penetrated the mystery of the nine-character mantra, but that something was wrong with Lin Mu's expression.
"Pope Song, the smell of incense ash is quite good."
Then, Lin Mu laughed and said.
Song Xu's eyes narrowed and he looked at Lin Mu steadily.
Ordinary people usually use medicine by burning incense and tea, so he felt that even if Lin Mu was cautious, he would only be suspicious of burning incense and tea.
But the incense he burned was just to cover up the real smell of hallucinogenic drugs, and there was nothing unusual about the tea.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mu discovered that his medicine was in the incense ashes.
The psychedelic medicine he used was not very strong, but it slowly affected Lin Mu's thinking in a subtle way.
And Lin Mu's previous performance also made him think that Lin Mu had really been tricked.
However, facts have now proven that Lin Mu had probably seen through him long ago, and his subsequent behavior was all fake.
Since he was deceived by Lin Mu, the most likely possibility is that he fell into the trap.
Lin Mu's smile deepened.
He had the memory of an alchemy master in his mind. Song Xu used medicine on him. This was the biggest mistake.
It seems that although Song Xu investigated his information clearly, he did not know the identity of his other alchemist.
So he remained calm and secretly operated Bei Ming Jue to dissolve the power of the phantom medicine. At the same time, he used his plan to lure Song Xu into the urn.
"There's something wrong with those nine words?"
Song Xu was extremely wise, and after thinking about it, he felt that the only way he might fall into trouble was by reciting those nine words.
"good."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "You have sworn to me before, and adding the last nine words, it is equivalent to signing a supreme soul contract with me. Now you can imagine in your mind that you want to break your promise or betray me."
Song Xu was unwilling to be restrained, and immediately thought about it. Then his face showed a trace of pain, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. This was the backlash of the contract.
