Volume 1 Chapter 169 The Seventh Layer
When Ji Wenbin heard this, he said coldly, "Boy, I see how long you can be arrogant!" After speaking, he turned around and ordered, "No one is allowed to enter or leave here, if anyone violates the order, they will be killed, including the people of the Huo family!" Ji Wenbin deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
"Yes!" the guards replied.
Li Mu closed the door, and Lu Tiantian came up and asked, "Brother Mu, what's wrong?"
"We're under house arrest!" Li Mu whispered.
"Is it the Ji family?"
Li Mu nodded, and the two walked back to the living room and sat down, looked at Lin Fengyu, who was still kneeling, and said with a smile, "Okay, get up." ”
"Brother Li agreed?" Lin Fengyu raised his head and looked at Li Mudao longingly.
After Li Mu pondered for a while, he asked, "Why do you think I can help you clear your name?"
"Just rely on this exercise. Lin Fengyu took out the bamboo slip in his hand and said.
"It's just a book of exercises, what can it prove?"
"Such a powerful body refining technique, if you can write it casually, you must be a master!"
"Master?" Li Mu smiled, "In case I lied to you, this exercise may just be obtained from somewhere." ”
"A person who can have such great luck must also be a master. ”
Li Mu was helpless, and said with a wry smile, "How about co-authoring, you think I'm a master?"
"Please also ask Brother Li to fulfill it. Lin Fengyu said.
"Alas...... It's really ......" Li Mu pouted and said, "Okay, I can help you, but you have to promise me three things." ”
"Brother Li, please make it clear. ”
"I haven't figured it out yet, so I'll talk about it when I'm done. ”
Lin Fengyu hesitated for a long time and then said, "Please also ask Brother Li not to let me do anything contrary to heavenly principles, otherwise please forgive me for not being able to agree." ”
"Will I be as bad as Ji Liangping?" Li Mu picked up Lin Fengyu and continued, "Don't worry, what I let you do is definitely worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth." ”
"Thank you!" Lin Fengyu pursed his lips and whispered.
"Okay, now that there is a gatekeeper at the door, don't think about going out, just practice here honestly. ”
......
Following.
"Why don't you let me in?"
"Miss Huo, please don't embarrass us. ”
"You still want to do it?"
A noisy sound woke Li Mu up.
"What's going on?" Li Mu asked as he opened the door.
"Li Mu, are you okay? Huo Zhixia asked with concern.
"What can I do. What are you doing here?"
"I came to look for you, but they stopped me outside, I thought you had been kidnapped. ”
"Hehehe, it's not kidnapping, it's house arrest. Li Mu smiled, closed the door and said loudly, "Okay, you go back first, I guess I won't be able to get out before I participate in the seventh layer competition." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely let my father rescue you. Huo Zhixia said, glared at the Ji family's guards fiercely, and left.
Without waiting for Huo Zhixia to walk away, he heard Li Mu's voice again, "By the way, tell Feng Niang and let her not come." ”
"Brother Mu, is it Miss Huo? Lu Tiantian came out of the inner room and asked.
Li Mu nodded, and shouted again towards the inner room, "Brother Lin, you can also come out." ”
After a while, Li Mu stood in front of the two and said, "Now that we are under house arrest, although I want to go out, and the people outside the door can't stop me, but if I break in rashly, she will definitely do something to Tiantian, so with Ji Meiru's scheming, she concluded that I would not make any outrageous moves for this." ”
"In other words, she used my security to put you under house arrest?" Lu Tiantian said unwillingly, "Brother Mu, I have still become a burden to you." ”
Li Mu stroked Lu Tiantian's head and said, "Little fool, it's okay, I don't have anything to go out, so in the next few days, I will guide you in cultivation well." ”
"Hmm!" Lu Tiantian nodded vigorously, "I must become strong quickly, so that I won't become a burden to Brother Mu." ”
Li Mu nodded, then turned his head to Lin Fengyu and asked, "As for you, it's best to think of an excuse, don't ask Ji Meiru where you are going, and you will miss it again." ”
"Understood!" Lin Fengyu also nodded.
"Okay, let's get started. ”
......
Two months later, the main hall of the Ji family.
"Head of the house, I have something to report. Steward Ji said.
"Even if it is. Ji Meiru sat on the upper seat and said.
"I wonder if the head of the family has been able to use the quenched jade in the Treasure Pavilion recently?"
"It's been a long time since I've been in the Treasure Chamber. Ji Meiru frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Steward Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Family Master, the quenched jade in the Treasure Pavilion is less than half!"
"What!" Ji Meiru said angrily, "What's the matter?"
"A few days ago, I inspected the Treasure Pavilion in accordance with the practice of inspecting the Treasure Pavilion every six months, but I found that half of the quenched jade was missing. ”
"In addition to quenching jade, have you lost anything else? ”
Steward Ji shook his head.
Ji Meiru's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shouted, "Give me a strict investigation! I must find out who did it! I want to see who has such courage! Stealing something actually came to my Ji family!"
Steward Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "The family master, I have already checked, the doors and windows are intact, there are no traces of entering and leaving, and there are not even footprints on the ground." ”
"What do you mean, does Quenyu still have wings?"
"That's not what I meant......" Steward Ji was embarrassed.
"Report~~~" A guard ran in briskly from outside the door, knelt in front of Ji Meiru and said, "Report to the head of the family, Li Mu has agreed to participate in the competition on the seventh floor!"
"Smack!" Ji Meiru slapped her thigh and said, "Great! This kid finally stopped grinding!Butler, when is the seventh layer of the competition this month?"
"Uh...... Two days later. Steward Ji calculated.
"Okay! Hurry up and check the people who participated in the competition. Ji Meiru commanded.
At the same time, the Huo family's main hall.
"Dad, Li Mu said that he was going to participate in this month's seventh-layer competition!" Huo Zhixia hurriedly rushed into the main hall.
"Really?" Huo Zheng asked in disbelief.
"It's true, I just came out of Red Dust House. ”
"Great!" Huo Zhengqi said with the corners of his mouth raised, "Butler, go and choose someone to participate in the competition, huh...... This time, Zhixia is also counted. ”
Huo Zhixia raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dad, am I going too?"
"This competition only needs Li Mu to win, and it is also a good thing for you to take you to experience the experience. ”
"That's ......" Huo Zhixia thought for a while and said, "Then Dad doesn't have to go to find someone, Li Mu said that he still has to bring someone to participate." ”
"Who is he going to bring with him?" Huo Zhengqi wondered.
"It's the girl he rescued that day, called Lu Tiantian. ”
"Lu Tiantian?" Huo Zhengqi recalled, and said with a glint in his eyes, "Okay, Zhixia, you go and inform Li Mu, and the three of you will go to this month's competition." ”
"Thank you, Dad. Huo Zhixia said goodbye and left happily.
After Huo Zhixia left, Steward Huo asked puzzledly, "Family Master, why is this?"
Huo Zhengqi crooked his mouth and smiled evilly, "Isn't this a perfect combination?"
"Please also ask the head of the family to make it clear. ”
"Ji Meiru wants to kill Li Mu, and this Lu Tiantian is the most important person in the grievances between the two. ”
"I see. It's just that why does the young lady have to participate, doesn't the head of the family know that she has a good relationship with Li Mu?"
"No matter how good the relationship is, they are also master and servant! If Zhixia wants to inherit the Huo family, he must experience this kind of scene. I just want her to watch Li Mu die in front of her, so that she can understand that the master and servant are the master and servant!" Huo Zheng said angrily.
"I see, I'm short-sighted. ”
......
Two days later, Li Mu arrived as scheduled, and followed Huo Zhixia directly to the seventh floor through the ladder.
As soon as the door of the ladder opened, Li Mu felt Lu Tiantian's trembling body, stretched out his hand and firmly held Lu Tiantian's hand and said, "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid." ”
Lu Tiantian's trembling body gradually calmed down, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and nodded, "Brother Mu, I'm not afraid." ”
The three of them walked together onto the platform on the side, which was the place where Lu Jun died that day.
Li Mu looked around, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Brother Lu, you have to take care of the Heavenly Spirit, I will take Tiantian out of here today!"
After waiting for a while, three figures appeared on the platform opposite the three of them, two of which Li Mu recognized, one was Lin Fengyu, the other was Ji Wenbin, and as for the third, Li Mu didn't know him.
"The contestants have arrived, and the head of the Ji family and the head of the Huo family are invited. After the people in the audience shouted, the figures of Ji Meiru and Huo Zhengqi walked out of the platform opposite the ring.
After the two of them sat down, Li Mu felt Ji Meiru's cold eyes.
Li Mu showed an evil smile on his face, and nodded slightly at Ji Meiru.
Seeing this, Ji Meiru snorted coldly in her heart, "Provoke me? Hmph! I'll see if you can laugh for a while!"
Huo Zhengqi raised his hand with a serious face and signaled to the examiner. The examiner spoke, "The seventh-tier competition has officially begun, and in the first game, please ask the Ji family to take the lead in sending people to fight." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Fengyu turned over and jumped into the ring.
"Brother Mu, why did they send someone first?" Lu Tiantian asked softly.
"Because it was the Ji family who won last month, they sent people first this month. Li Mu replied softly.
"I didn't expect you to know quite a lot. Huo Zhixia couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Mu's explanation.
"Hehe, of course, I need to understand the situation before I come. Li Muhan explained with a smile.
......
The day before, Hongchen House.
"Brother Li, as you expected, Ji Meiru asked me where I was during this period of time today. Lin Fengyu said.
"Hehehe, that's because they should have found out about the Treasure Pavilion. Li Mu touched his chin and said.
"That's right, now the entire Ji family is frying, and they are trying their best to track down the theft of the Treasure Pavilion. Lin Fengyu nodded.
"But it's useless for them to check, the tunnel has long been sealed by me. Li Mu said with a smile.
"Brother Li still has a vision, otherwise I'm afraid I would be exposed today. ”
"Sycophants don't shoot!" Li Mu glanced at Lin Fengyu and said, "Does Ji Meiru agree with you to participate in the competition?"
"Then you still need to say?" Lin Fengyu said with a smug expression, "I've been cultivating hard for the past two months. ”
"So, she agreed?" Li Mu asked with some disbelief.
Lin Fengyu nodded and said, "She found someone to fight with me, and with my level of 100,000 Dao strength, I put that person in three strokes and five divided by two, but ......" Lin Fengyu asked with some worry, "Won't Ji Meiru be suspicious?"
"No!" Li Mu said with his hand, "It's going to be a game tomorrow, and she doesn't have the time to think about it so much." ”
"Then Brother Li, what is our strategy tomorrow?"
"Tell me who the Ji family sent first?" asked Li Mu.
"I, Ji Wenbin, and a strong man, a new face, I don't know. ”
"New faces?" Li Mu said after a moment of silence, "How is the Dao power?"
"About 30,000. ”
"In that case...... Li Mu thought for a while, "The general strategy for tomorrow is that you play against Huo Zhixia, and I will play against Tian Tian against the remaining two, if you meet you and me or you and Tian Tian play against each other, then look at my eyes and act." ”
"There shouldn't be such a situation, because it was the Ji family who won last month, so this month the Ji family sent someone first, I can be the first to come out, Brother Li, you just need to fool Huo Zhixia." Lin Fengyu said.
"Huh, there is also this kind of rule, whoever wins will come out first?" Li Mu said in surprise.
Lin Fengyu nodded.
"That's easy, let's do it tomorrow. ”
......
"Li Mu!Li Mu!" Huo Zhixia's voice interrupted Li Mu's thoughts, "What do you think?"
"Ahh I'm thinking about strategy. Li Mu paused and said.
"Then you talk about it, and I'll listen. ”
"Ahem. Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "As far as I know, Ji Wenbin is about 50,000 Dao strength, that strong man doesn't know the strength, for the sake of insurance, Tian Tian will deal with Ji Wenbin, I will deal with that strong man, and you, deal with the person in front of you." ”
"But I heard that Lin Fengyu's Dao power is higher than Ji Wenbin's, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent. Huo Zhixia said.
"It's okay, since it's a best-of-three game, as long as Tiantian and I win. ”
Huo Zhixia thought about it, it was true, nodded and said, "Okay, you must not let me down!"
With that, one turned over and got into the ring.
