Chapter 825: Captured
Dugu Jiu also glanced at it, came to Li Mu's side and helped him up, and said, "Big brother, what should we do now?" β
"Let the brothers find out how many people are on this mountain, and find a way to send the news to Tang Gong."
Dugu Jiu nodded: "Okay, then you-"
"He hasn't seen through me yet, so I'll be safe for the time being." Li Mu patted the rainstorm pear flower needle on his chest and said, "With this thing, he can't hurt me!" β
Dugu Jiu had seen the power of the rainstorm pear flower needle, and knew that what Li Mu said was true, so he nodded and said, "Then you take care, later, I will come to you." β
After that, Dugu Jiu glanced at his subordinates, the people he brought were all the best of the secret guards, outstanding masters, everyone's skills were not weak, and there were sharp weapons like crossbows to defend themselves, as long as they didn't show their stuffing, there would definitely be no problem with self-preservation.
Everyone dispersed, Li Mu looked at the direction where Cui Yuzheng disappeared, hesitated again and again, and did not pass. At this moment, a black and white figure with a 'fat head and big ears' appeared in view, running along the road with a sigh, and behind it, followed by a young girl, it was Zhenyu. How could these two guys get together, Li Mu was puzzled and quietly followed.
β¦β¦
The brown-clothed people were very common in Spirit Snake Mountain, and Li Mu walked around at will, and no one cared about him. The saint is about to give birth, everyone is busy with this one thing, and they don't have time to care about it at all, even if someone sees Li Mu, they will only treat him as the one who is ordered to guard, and they will not pay too much attention.
Li Mu followed a person and a panda to the back door of a small courtyard, looked at the two guys from a distance, and was stopped by two women dressed as holy envoys. The two seemed to interrogate Zhen Yu about something, and then, Fat Da was allowed to enter the small courtyard, while Zhen Yu was stopped outside. Li Mu was not surprised by this result at all, Wang Ou was about to give birth, Zhenyu as an outsider, if it weren't for the identity of the Miao people, and the holy beast back to the mountain, he wouldn't be able to get here at all, how could he be allowed to enter.
Li Mu looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly came behind Zhen Yu and stretched out his hand to put his hand on her shoulder: "Hey, who is it?" β
Zhen Yu was startled, hurriedly turned around, saw the brown clothes on Li Mu's body, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This lord, I am Geva's daughter, and I have come to deliver medicine to the holy woman." β
Gvar?
Li Mu didn't understand what these two words meant, was it a Miao language, or a person's name? But since it's related to medicine, it should probably be a doctor or something. Li Mu saw that she couldn't recognize herself, and she was sure that if she was recognized, he didn't dare to guarantee that Zhen Yu wouldn't leak her mouth.
"What kind of medicine, bring it to me."
"Nope." Zhen Yu clutched the small bag on his waist tightly, shook his head and refused: "I have to hand it over to the Holy Maiden personally." β
"The saint is giving birth now, you can't go in, I can help you bring it in."
"Huh?" Zhen Yuhu glanced at Li Mu suspiciously, and said, "Holy Maiden child, you can't go in, right?" How can you help me? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Li Mu, Zhen Yu frowned and asked, "Who are you?" β
This sentence was said in Miao language, and Li Mu was stunned all of a sudden. He is not a Miao person, and of course he can't speak or understand.
Seeing that he was dazed, Zhen Yu took half a step back, and was about to shout when he was out of the range of Li Mu's arm. Li Mu hurriedly rushed over and covered her mouth. The little girl was also ruthless enough, seeing that she couldn't break free from Li Mu, she opened her mouth to take a mouthful, Li Mu was so painful that her whole face was distorted, and she gritted her teeth and couldn't hold back.
"It's me! Li Mu! Li Mu lowered his voice and informed his identity. Zhen Yu Wuzi didn't let go of her mouth until Li Mu took off the mask and she saw it, so she let go of her mouth.
Poor Li Mu's half of his palms had been bitten and bleeding.
"You're a dog?!"
Zhenyu is full of question marks, in the Miaojiang region, the saying of the zodiac is not very popular. Li Mu shook his hand and said angrily: "I don't understand with you, let's go!" β
Li Mu put on a mask, pulled Zhen Yu and left. Although he was very anxious about Wang Ou's situation, he was obviously not close to the front now. It's useless to be in a hurry, it's better to do something useful.
Zhen Yu was dragged by Li Mu all the way to the side of the cave, and at this time, Cui Yuzheng's cave was the safest place. Standing conspicuously at the door, Li Mu hesitated for a moment and dragged Zhen Yu into the cave.
Zhen Yu was almost stunned by the smell of blood in the cave, shook off Li Mu's hand, and retched on to the cave wall: "What kind of place did you bring me here, disgusting to death!" β
"Your Master's bedroom." Li Mu took out the fire twist from his arms that he had given to the body of the brown-clothed man, and the fire twist lit up in the wind, flickering with a faint light. With this bit of light, Li Mu saw the surrounding environment clearly.
The hole is not deep, about five square meters. There was a stone bed, and there was a set of bedding on the stone bed, like a sheepskin texture. On the walls, on the ground, there were blood marks everywhere. In the corner, there is a pile of white bones of an unknown animal.
Zhen Yu walked over curiously, pulled it with his hands, and screamed in fright. A skull bone, like a football, rolled out of it.
Zhen Yu's faith showed a little sign of collapse, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sect Master, Sect Master, he-"
"Don't be afraid," Li Mu picked up the skeleton and threw it aside, blocking Zhen Yu's view: "Maybe your sect leader has some special habits, maybe it's not necessarily cannibalism." β
This kind of comfort is better than nothing, Zhen Yu burst into tears. But she was not frightened by Li Mu to cry: "The sect leader must have cultivated the forbidden technique!" It's over, it's over, our Snake Spirit Sect is going to end! β
"Forbidden?" Four words popped out of Li Mu's head, 'Earth Burst Sky Star'? What are you doing, crossing the world of Naruto?
"It's a taboo in our Snake Spirit Sect." Since Li Mu saw it, there was nothing to hide, Zhen Yu explained: "Our Snake Spirit Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, and the sect leaders of the past generations are all talented people, each with their own strengths. Each generation of leaders will leave what they are most proud of to be for future generations of leaders to refer to before they die. There is a sect leader who has studied medical skills all his life, but in the end, what he left behind was not medical skills, but forbidden arts. β
Li Mu was even more confused when he heard it, and said: "What forbidden technique, I haven't understood a word after talking about it for a long time." β
"A few years before the Sect Master's death, he began to study the art of immortality. But in the end, he failed, but left his own research and wanted future generations to inherit it. However, due to the cruelty of this method, it was listed as a forbidden technique by the sect masters of later generations, and no one was allowed to practice and use it. β
"What kind of forbidden technique is it," Li Mu smiled bitterly, saying something, why is it so grinding?
"My dad told me about it." Zhen Yu's little face was full of seriousness: "He said that this sect leader believes that people are composed of souls and bodies, and the body will age, but the soul will not." If you can nourish and transform the aging body, then you should be able to live longer. β
"So what?"
"His method," Zhen Yu's lips trembled, as if he had thought of something terrible, and after a long while, he continued: "He first drew out the blood of the living and replaced it in his own body. Later, he sawed off the arms of living people and put them on himself, and at last, he began to eatβ"
Li Mu couldn't speak, isn't this a murderer!
However, he was a little curious, and said, "He, did he succeed in changing his arm?" β
"Not recorded." Zhen Yu shook his head and said, "But there are records that after changing blood, the skin will melt. Also, if you get human flesh and blood, your eyes will turn green, your lips will turn purple, and you will end up insane and insane. β
What Zhen Yu said exceeded Li Mu's cognition. Although he traveled through time, in his time, such a rare thing was rare.
"I see your sect leader." Li Mu told Zhen Yu what he saw, and said, "It seems that you are right, he should indeed have used this forbidden technique." only to make myself from paralyzed and unable to move, to what I am now. β
"What can I do?" Zhen Yu cried in despair, the Miao people have always looked forward to the snake spirit sect leader, a sect leader who is bound to go crazy, a sect leader who has broken through the bottom line of human nature, I don't know where the Miao people will go!
"Won't you just kill him?" Li Mu said a solution lightly: "Didn't you say it, it was originally a saint who helped you do things, and whether there is a sect leader or not will not have any impact on your life." He has become like this now, keeping him is a hidden danger, and it is the scourge of your Miao Jiang! β
"No way!" Zhen Yu said with a crying voice: "You can't kill the sect leader, no!" β
"Why not!" Li Mu frowned and said, "Don't you even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong?" Don't be foolish, think about it, what benefits has your sect leader brought to you? Is it worth doing this to him? β
"No," Zhen Yu cried, "If the sect leader dies, the saint will also die, and the lives of the two of them are connected!" β
Li Mu smiled angrily and said, "What kind of rule is this, is it possible that your sect leader is dead, and you still have to let your holy daughter be martyred?" I tell you, she's my wife, and I'm not going to let her die! β
"It's not a funeral," Zhen Yu stomped his foot in a hurry, and said, "Can you let me finish my words without interrupting?" Do you know why there are saints in this generation? Zhen Yu cried and told all the inside information she knew: The person chosen by the snake spirit was Cui Yuzheng, Cui Yuzheng was weak and sickly, and the snake spirit could not stay, so he boarded in Wang Ou's body by mistake. Only by relying on Cui Yuzheng's blood can Wang Ou live, if Cui Yuzheng dies, the snake spirit cannot be nourished by his blood, and will ask for Wang Ou's vitality indefinitely, and soon she will die of aging.
"Is this true?" When Li Mu heard this, he instinctively didn't believe it, but he felt that Zhen Yu would not lie to him. This little girl can't make up such a meticulous story.
"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes." Zhen Yu cried: "The holy woman sent someone to deliver a letter to my father, wanting my father to help her think of a way. My father worked hard to develop a tonic. But this tonic is only a temporary solution. This medicine requires too many medicinal materials, even if it is rich and rivals the country, it is impossible to supply it every day. If you don't take the medicine, you die! β
Li Mu gradually understood, what a stupid, this woman. Her intention was to ensure that the child was born! She was afraid that Cui Yuzheng would be forced to die, so she wanted these medicines, if Cui Yuzheng died, with these medicines, she would be able to give birth to the child smoothly, as for her own life, she didn't care anymore.
"I'm not going to let her die."
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, Zhen Yu stopped crying and said, "You go." β
"Don't go!" Li Mu flatly refused, and said, "My wife and children are here, where am I going?" β
"Even if you win, what can you do?" Zhenyu asked; "The sect leader can commit suicide, can you still stop him from committing suicide?"
"I'll tie him up, I'll find someone to watch him!"
"It's useless!" Zhen Yu shook his head and said, "My father is the best Miao doctor, and I have been learning from my father since I was a child. If you want to die, there are countless ways. You bind him, and he can bite his tongue and kill himself. And don't forget, what our Miao Jiang is best at is poison, and the sect leader has read the manuscripts left by the sect masters of the past dynasties, even if he is not good at it, he will definitely be. If he wanted to die, he could do it. β
Li Mu was speechless, he knew that what Zhen Yu said was right. It is difficult for a person to want to live, to die, it is very easy.
"You'd better go, if you go, the sect leader won't find you, and he won't think about dying. With a child to tie in, the saint will not think about death. Isn't it good for people to live? You have to drive everyone to death to be happy? β
"I-"
Li Mu was a little shaken, he didn't know if he was right to persevere.
"Let's go!"
Zhen Yu pushed him out, Li Mu lost his soul, and was pushed out of the cave by her.
"It's you!"
Suddenly pretending to be a person, Li Mu looked up and saw a terrifying face. His body was covered in flesh and blood melted slime, and he looked extremely disgusting. Two people made umbrellas for him, shielded from the sun, and the situation did not continue to deteriorate, but it still looked very bad.
"I should have guessed it was you!" Cui Yuzheng laughed horribly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Li Mu's throat! Li Mu wanted to touch the rainstorm pear flower needle, but thinking that Cui Yuzheng was dead, Wang Ou, who was giving birth, would also die, hesitated for a moment, and his hands hung down weakly.
He fainted.
Cui Yuzheng threw Li Mu to the ground, and the two brown-clothed men pulled Li Mu up and tied him with a rope.
"You're Gvar's daughter?"
The fear of the sect leader in his bones made Zhen Yu kneel on the ground: "Yes, Zhen Yu, the daughter of Geva, has seen the sect master. β
"Do you know what's wrong?"
"......" Zhenyu was silent and did not answer.
"Okay, she deserves to be the daughter of Elder Geva, and she has backbone." Cui Yuzheng sneered and said: "I won't kill you, at least not now, after these few days, I have gathered the Miao soldiers, and when there is an incident, I will kill you and Li Mu first!" β
With that, he commanded the brown-clothed man behind him: "Take it away and put it in a water prison!" Remember, don't let them die! β
"Also, I'm anxious about everyone, one by one, I'll find out all the Tang people who have mixed in!!"
