Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Old Boss Waits
The corpse of the black tiger no longer knew where it had been moved by Utu, and even the fat man had disappeared, after all, it was already night at this moment, Qin Mu thought that they should have gone to rest early.
The cold of the night was getting stronger and stronger, Qin Mu was only wearing the grass skirt he had braided, he couldn't resist the invasion of the cold, he couldn't help curling up together, wanting to warm up, but to no avail, the iron cage under him was cold and biting.
Qin Mu had to stand up, his feet bouncing to reduce the time he spent in contact with the iron cage, while rubbing his hands together. Suddenly, Qin Mu saw the piece of animal skin tied to his arm, he thought of the secret of longevity, and then he sat cross-legged and started to operate, and after a while, Qin Mu felt a warm current in his body and began to swim, and he also entered a state of selflessness, intoxicated by it.
The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on this ancient city, which was very indifferent to Qin Mu, only to add a little coldness, and at this moment, except for a few guards at the door, there was no longer a single figure to be seen.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly appeared under the city wall, and the guard was pacing back and forth at the moment, he just wanted to warm his hands and feet, and he didn't pay much attention to the others at all.
A child was extremely fast, he glanced at the guard at the door with his back to him, and then ran to the iron cage where Qin Mu was closed, he squatted in front of the iron cage, his eyes turned, and he stared at Qin Mu, but saw Qin Mu's eyes closed and motionless.
"Are you asleep?" the child, who was about the same age as Qin Mu, asked in a low voice, and then reached out and pushed Qin Mu's shoulder.
Qin Mu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the child in front of him with a shocked expression, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" "My name is Xiao Kongyue, I'm here to bring you something to eat." As he spoke, he took out a dirty steamed bun from his arms and handed it to Qin Mu, "I thought you must be hungry, so I secretly hid one." ”
Qin Mu looked at the steamed buns handed over by Xiao Kongyue, his throat moved, he still couldn't help swallowing his saliva, said thank you, and then took the steamed buns and devoured them.
Xiao Kongyue looked at Qin Mu with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." He asked for a moment, "What's your name, can we be friends?" Qin Mu said while eating: "My name is Qin Mu, I'm afraid I can't be your friend." He put down the little steamed bun left in his hand and said with a lonely expression.
"Why?" Xiao Kongyue raised his eyebrows and asked with a surprised expression, Qin Mu sighed tiredly: "I'm afraid I'm going to die tomorrow, how can I be friends with you." ”
Xiao Kongyue's expression was indifferent, her eyes looked at Qin Mu calmly, and asked, "Are we friends now?" Qin Mu responded, smashed the last bit of steamed buns in his mouth, and asked Xiao Kongyue: "Is this your home?"
Xiao Kongyue shook her head and said, "No, I just came earlier than you." Qin Mu still had a lot of questions to ask, but Xiao Kongyue stood up and was about to leave, he told Qin Mu that if Qin Mu didn't die tomorrow, he would still be waiting for him here at dusk, and then he turned around and quickly got into the dark shadow of the city wall and disappeared without a trace.
When the sky just brightened, Utu looked cautious, and walked into the city lord's Dan room with a golden pot in both hands, at this moment the fragrance in the room was rich, the fairy halo was pervasive, and the glow flashed in a half-person high copper tripod, and all the aroma was wafting out from the copper tripod, and the city lord sat quietly in front of the copper tripod, staring at the copper tripod with both eyes, for fear that it would fly.
Utu's eyes were half open, he looked at Da Ding, and asked, "Lord, the blood of the Tiger King has been brought, when will you put it in?" The city lord did not say anything, turned around and took the golden pot from Utu's hand, he looked serious, opened the pot carefully, and carefully added a drop of tiger blood to the Ding.
There was some colorful luster in this drop of blood, and as soon as it fell into the ding, the tangy aroma rushed out directly from the ding, and then there was a crackling sound.
The city lord's expression changed suddenly, and even the hands holding the pot trembled a little, "How can this be?" He stared at Da Ding with both eyes, his expression was extremely flustered, and he muttered in his mouth, "What is wrong?"
Suddenly, he turned to Utu and shouted, "Go, tell me that the evil seed has been brought to the old man, and I will sacrifice the spirit with his blood." Utu's expression was straight, his expression was firm, and he turned around and ran out with a very fast pace.
Utu looked indifferent, and hurriedly felt that Qin Mu's iron cage was locked in front of him, he pulled the iron cage and withdrew Qin Mu, Qin Mu didn't react, he was caught by Utu under his armpit and walked towards the Danfang.
As soon as he entered the Dan Room, Qin Mu was frightened by the city lord with a somewhat hideous expression, at this moment, the city lord's eyes were red, his beard was open, and he was staring at the medicine tripod in front of him.
When he saw Qin Mu being brought, he immediately said, "Put his blood into the medicine ding." Utu pulled out a dagger with his backhand, and with a 'snort', he cut Qin Mu's wrist, Qin Mu screamed in pain, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing into the medicine ding.
At this time, a layer of mist suddenly rose in the medicine tripod, enveloping the medicine tripod, and through the mist, you could see a red light swimming in the tripod.
"It's going to be done," the city lord stared at Yao Ding, his expression very excited, "The old man is finally going to succeed." After a while, the mist that shrouded the medicine tripod began to gradually disperse, and Qin Mu immediately saw that there were two vermilion pills in the tripod, each one the size of a thumb.
The city lord frowned with joy, his eyes lit up, he stretched out his palms, took the two pills in the tripod in his hand in the air, and Utu, who was on the side, hurriedly handed over a copper plate.
The old man carefully put the two pills into the copper plate, let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "The ancients did not deceive me. Utu's eyes flickered, and he said with appropriate flattery: "Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord, since Baodan is a great success, why not take this opportunity to resurrect the totem to help our clan prosper forever." ”
The city lord looked at the front with deep eyes, and sighed with a tired expression: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, this time the Bao Dan is refined, and the old man is not sure what the main reason is, and the old man has to study it carefully before he can decide." ”
Utu looked a little worried, and reminded the city lord: "The subordinates are just worried that the beast clan will come to the door sooner or later, and the lord has to make plans in advance." ”
The city lord's eyes rolled, he thought for a moment, and said: "The strength of the beast clan is very strong, but if the old man refines more treasure pills and lets my people take them, it is not certain who will die by then." ”
Utu looked at the city lord with a look of adoration, nodded and said, "The lord is really far-sighted, but his subordinates are too worried." The city lord turned to look at Utu, and continued with a relieved expression: "Our clan retreated from this place, just to wait for the legendary thing, but this is a thousand years, the former guy has still become a gray-haired old man, their backs are no longer straight, and their eyes are a little cloudy, but the old man is in wait, and his ambition is thousands of miles, no matter how time changes, he will never be able to erase their ambition." ”
The city lord looked upright, and said in an indifferent tone: "In the sword box, there is a sound of expectation, maybe it's time to draw the sword." When he spoke, he was full of confidence and pride, and he could feel the ambition in his eyes.
