Cui Yuzheng didn't quarrel with Li Mu, he raised his hand and put it on the child's neck.

Li Mu looked at Cui Yuzheng steadily, he was not sure what Cui Yuzheng would do at this time. Maybe he'll kill the child and then kill himself, maybe he'll not, it's a madman, you can't live with common sense.

"You can finish talking about the conditions first, and we'll discuss it slowly."

Cui Yuzheng's hand was raised, and he said: "The second condition, I want the imperial court to withdraw from Miaojiang, I will be the master of Miaojiang, and the Miao people will decide the affairs of Miaojiang in the future." ”

"The third condition, all your transactions, Qinghe Cui Clan, must account for thirty percent!"

The three conditions are all fantastical, and they make people want to laugh. If it weren't for his daughter in Cui Yuzheng's hands, Li Mu would have turned his face when he said the first word.

But now, Li Mu was cornered. He can't kill the person in front of him, because if he kills him, his wife will die. If you don't kill it, your daughter will be threatened by him if she is in his hands. Three conditions, the first, the second, Li Mu can't do it at all. The third one can do it, money is something outside the body, Li Mu doesn't care, and the Qinghe Cui clan has nothing if it's cheap.

"Embarrassed?"

"The third condition, I can agree."

Cui Yuzheng sneered and said, "What I want is three conditions, you only promise one, and play tricks on me?" ”

"The second condition," Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I can also agree, but it will take time." ”

Cui Yuzheng showed a thoughtful look, what he originally wanted was the last two conditions. Because he has already decided to die, if Li Mu can meet the last two conditions, he will have no regrets in this world.

"As for the first condition." Li Mu gritted his teeth and said: "If you care about this child, I can promise you that I will let her go back to Miaojiang to meet you once a year." This is the biggest concession I can accept. ”

See me every year and go to my grave?

Cui Yuzheng thought dejectedly, this is also excellent. I have no queen, and there is no one who burns paper. He was about to open his mouth to agree, but suddenly, he only felt a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't breathe! Cui Yuzheng's face turned purple, his eyes bulged outward, he desperately wanted to open his throat, wanted to breathe, but he just couldn't.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu hurriedly rushed forward with an arrow and snatched the child over. Taking advantage of the moment when the man in brown broke in, he held the child and smashed his shoulder through the window and rushed out.

Dugu Jiu seemed to have been prepared, and when he saw Li Mu coming out, the secret guard's repeater instantly turned around and shot the brown-clothed man at the door and chased out. The whole process was like lightning, and the white and black seedlings outside the small courtyard had already ended before they could react.

Li Mu got up from the ground and went to see the child in his arms for the first time. The child was woken upside down and cried loudly. Li Mu hurriedly called Dugu Jiu and said, "Go and call your sister-in-law, the child seems to be hungry." ”

"Big brother......" Dugu Jiu bowed his head and was silent, Li Mu saw his appearance, and his expression froze: "You, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Sister-in-law to save you," Dugu Jiu couldn't go on, looking at the corner of the yard. Li Mu followed his line of sight, and the whole person was instantly stunned.

Where there is a tree, there is a white silk on the tree, Zhenyu is holding Wang Ou's corpse and carrying her off the white silk.

Li Mu handed over the child to Dugu Jiu, ran over in three steps and two steps, looking at the shocking red mark on Wang Ou's neck, tears blurred his eyes instantly.

"Why?" Li Mu looked up at Zhen Yu and asked, "Why did she do this?" ”

"The saint said she didn't want you to be wronged."

"Grievance?" Li Mu smiled bitterly, laughing and crying: "What grievances do I have, I have done all this, I want to do." Now that she's gone, what's the point of all the things I've done. ”

He looked at Wang Ou and cried: "How can you bear it, what should you do with the child?" ”

Zhen Yu lowered her head and wiped her tears, and said: "The saint said that the child will be brought by Qiaoqiao in the future, Qiaoqiao is good-hearted, and she will definitely regard her child as her own." ”

After Li Mu heard this, his heart was even more colic, he forced himself to calm down, and asked: "What the hell is going on, why is Cui Yuzheng suffocating, and what is the connection between this?" ”

"I just heard what the Holy Maiden said." Zhen Yu sobbed and explained to Li Mu: "At the beginning, the holy woman took the medicine refined with the blood of the sect leader and stabilized the snake spirit, but after all, she did not have a hundred poisons that did not invade the body, and after consuming the medicinal power, the holy woman would still die due to the poison of the snake spirit, and in order to save her life, she had to take this secret medicine all the time." ”

"To refine the secret medicine, you need blood that is invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, and only the Snake Spirit Sect Master in the world has this kind of blood. But at that time, the previous sect leader was about to die when the oil ran out, and the sect leader was weak and couldn't afford to bleed again and again, if he wanted the saint to live and let the snake spirit pass on, he had to find a way to let the sect leader live. ”

In order to find a solution, the previous sect leader used secret techniques to forcibly continue his life, and lived for another month, and when he was about to lose his hold, he finally found a way in the vast number of sect classics. In the codex of a certain generation of masters, a method is recorded. When the compatibility between the host and the snake spirit is high, the host can control the snake spirit, use the snake spirit as a contract, and control others as slaves. Those who are controlled will be the most loyal servants of the sect master and will never betray. When the host is old, he can also share the vitality with the slave by controlling the snake slave, and the snake spirit sect master who has practiced such a secret method only needs to constantly replace the young snake slave to be able to obtain a steady stream of vitality and achieve the goal of 'immortality'. ”

"This kind of secret method is very difficult to practice, because the host has no way to communicate with the snake spirit, and whether or not it can achieve a fit depends on the will of heaven. The leader of the generation who wrote this bamboo slip succeeded once using this method, extending his life by thirty years, but failed the second time, and left this bamboo slip on his deathbed to record this incident. When the previous Sect Master saw this secret method, time was running out. He taught the secret method and the means of refining medicine to the holy woman, and the holy woman was lucky enough to successfully practice this secret method, using the snake spirit as a contract, turning the sect leader into her snake slave. Reverse your own vitality to make up for the sect leader. ”

Hearing this, Li Mu understood this mysterious story. Cui Yuzheng's blood refining medicine can allow Wang Ou to temporarily live without poison invading her body, and then ensure that the snake spirit will not die in her body. Cui Yuzheng also needs Wang Ou to live, so that he can live. Now that Wang Ou chooses to end his life, Cui Yuzheng has lost the vitality shared by Wang Ou, so naturally he can't live.

This kind of thing is so absurd.

Suddenly, Li Mu felt a little strange that Wang Ou's body still had body temperature. If a person dies, shouldn't he be cold and stiff?

He hurriedly checked Wang Ou's condition, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, although his breathing was weak, Li Mu was sure that Wang Ou still had a trace of breath.

Not dead!

Li Mudeng became excited, it's good if he doesn't die, as long as he doesn't die, there will still be a chance!

"Not dead!" Li Mu said to Zhen Yu: "There is a snort, I don't believe you try it, there really is!" ”

"Really?" Zhenyu watched Wang Ou hang himself, and couldn't believe it, but Li Mu said so, and she also reached out to try it with luck, and sure enough, there was still a little bit of breath.

At this time, Dugu Jiu, who had slaughtered everyone in the house, also came over and said; "Big brother, kill them all!"

Li Mu suddenly thought of something, stood up and said, "What about Cui Yuzheng, is he also dead?" ”

"Him?" Dugu Jiu was stunned for a moment and said, "When we rushed in, he was already out of breath, and his whole face was bruised. Does Big Brother want to mend the knife? Dugu Jiu handed the sword to Li Mu, Li Mu stretched out his hand to block it, and said: "Protect your sister-in-law, she is still angry, go to the doctor, I will go see Cui Yuzheng!" He can't die yet! ”

Li Mu rushed into the house, and everyone in the house was killed by the crossbow arrows. The holy envoy who held his daughter hostage was hit by more than ten arrows in his body, and he was already dead and could not die anymore. Li Mu stayed on her for a moment, and entered the room where Cui Yuzheng was, Cui Yuzheng covered his throat with both hands, his tongue stretched out, his eyes bulged, and his death was extremely miserable.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and tried it on the tip of his nose, and he was indeed dead.

What's going on here? Doesn't it mean that the two of them are in a state of 'symbiosis'? Why is Wang Ou not dead now, but Cui Yuzheng is dead?

"Big brother, what now? There are so many Miao people out there! ”

"Give me the sword." Li Mu stretched out his hand, and Dugu Jiu handed him the sword. Li Mu drew his sword out of its sheath and made a cut in Cui Yuzheng's arm.

"Find a container and take all his blood, and don't waste a drop."

Dugu Jiu frowned slightly, and said, "Big brother, it's not necessary, everyone is already dead." ”

"I don't want to either, but his blood can be used to refine medicine, and your sister-in-law will rely on this medicine to continue her life." Li Mu explained, and returned the sword to Dugu Jiu: "There are too many things about the Snake Spirit Sect, so after releasing his blood, let's cremate it together with these corpses." ”

"Hmm." Dugu Jiu answered, and cleaned up with the dark guard.

Li Mu returned to the courtyard, picked up Wang Ou, and took him to another room next to him. The child is no longer crying, and Zhenyu is taking care of it.

The matter has not been resolved, and at dawn, the Miao people of Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks may still attack it. And Tang Jian, who is at the mountain gate, will not attack the mountain. Because that's what he made with Tang Jian.

Li Mu gently held Wang Ou's hand, still wondering what was going on.

According to Zhen Yu's explanation, the so-called symbiotic relationship between Wang Ou and Cui Yuzheng actually has several key points. What Wang Ou needs is not Cui Yuzheng, but his special blood. In other words, if there is another person who can provide this special blood, it is okay to do without Cui Yuzheng. Zhen Yu also said the same thing, if the previous sect leader was not exhausted, he could replace Cui Yuzheng to provide this blood.

And Cui Yuzheng's need for Wang Ou is more mysterious. This is a secret method of sharing life force, and the medium is the snake spirit in Wang Ou's body. If that's the case, it makes sense. Wang Ou hanged himself, and his vitality fell to the lowest point. The vitality of the lowest point cannot be shared with Cui Yuzheng. The symbiotic relationship established between the two through the snake spirit ended as a result, and Cui Yuzheng's vitality should have ended a long time ago, and it was normal to die without Wang Ou's supply.

Cui Yuzheng is dead, and his blood will slowly coagulate. There is a limit to the amount of blood that can be released from the cut. The medicine that can be refined is also limited. These medicines are estimated to be not enough for Wang Ou to live for many days. If no medicine can be found, Wang Ou will still die.

The key is still in the snake spirit, according to Zhen Yu, the snake spirit is highly poisonous, if there is no poison that does not invade the body, the host will be poisoned and die. It's not what he originally thought, draining his life force and becoming an old man's way to die.

If the snake spirit could be 'caught' out of Wang Ou's body, maybe she wouldn't have died. In other words, if the snake spirit must need a host, let it pass on to someone else's body, maybe it can be exchanged for Wang Ou's life.

It's just that how to get the snake spirit out of Wang Ou's body?

Zhen Yu just mentioned that when inheriting the sect leader, there was a ceremony. Cui Yuzheng is not the only candidate, but there are many. The final result fell on Wang Ou, which shows that this snake spirit was chosen by himself, and the outside world may not be able to influence it.

Li Mu was a little at a loss.

The sky was dark, and Li Mu stuffed Wang Ou's hand into the quilt. She kissed her on the forehead and said, "I'll definitely find a solution to the problem, you trust me." ”

Then, he handed over Wang Ou and the child to Zhenyu to take care of, turned around and walked out. There are still many things out there waiting for him to solve.

……

Li Mu changed into the clothes that he had taken off Cui Yuzheng's body, and used the disguise technique to make his face look like flesh and blood, Cui Yuzheng's face would burn in the sun, and the scars that appeared were different every time, and if you messed around, you couldn't see anything, the key was the voice.

Li Mu had already heard Cui Yuzheng's voice, and using the "imitation" skill was enough to imitate a seven-point image, as long as he didn't come close to distinguish it carefully, he couldn't see anything.

"What about Cui Yuzheng's corpse?"

"I have already poured tung oil on it according to my eldest brother's instructions, and I am ready to light it."

"Change Cui Yuzheng into my clothes, take a few people out with me, and act in a show." Dugu Jiu and the others were originally pretending to be brown people, and they couldn't see anything while wearing masks.

Li Mu took Dugu Jiu and dragged Cui Yuzheng's body to the back door of the small courtyard, and the two secret guards opened the door, and the people from Miao Village immediately surrounded them.

The two sides are a little far away, and the sky is not completely bright, so I can't see it very clearly. The identity of a person can only be judged by the attire. Cui Yuzheng is the leader of the sect, his clothes are unique, very recognizable, the Miao people in Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks all know him, and when they saw him come out, everyone immediately saluted and shouted a Miao language that Li Mu did not understand.

"The thief has been ambushed!" Li Mu shouted in Cui Yuzheng's voice.

"Sect Master Kamui!" The Miao people cheered.
