Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Body Is Alive, But the Heart Is Dead
"I'll talk about it later, I've just broken through, my body is still a little weak, and I'm not good for you to appear by your side in your current situation, I'll go back to the beast bag to rest, if there's anything, you can find me again, I'll tell you when I think of it." Niu Mu stroked his forehead, he was really a little confused about Wu Ming's character, and he returned to the beast bag.
Niu Mu was reluctant to speak, Wu Ming had no choice, so he could only let him go, thinking that Niu Mu was already a cultivator at the peak realm of the Linghai, and he had not yet completed the goal he wanted to achieve, and he was doing some irrelevant things here all day long, and he was also a little annoyed at the moment, so he simply closed the door and thanked the guests, and concentrated on cultivating, even on the last day of the year, he didn't go to see it, with the pill given by Niu Mou, the speed of cultivation was quite fast, and the number of open points finally broke through the three hundred mark, and there were only fifty or sixty left from the final consummationγ
On this day, Wu Ming was practicing cross-legged luck, but he suddenly felt irritable, and couldn't help but feel a nameless anger rising in his heart, so frightened that he quickly stopped practicing and checked his own situation, for fear that he accidentally had a problem with his cultivation and went mad, but after some inspection, not only did he not have any problems, but the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense.
He had no intention of cultivating, and he hurriedly contacted Niu Mou, wanting to ask what was going on: "Brother Niu, I don't know why I'm upset today, and there seems to be a wave of anger in my heart, which I can't get rid of, I don't know if there is something wrong with my cultivation method?"
"You can talk to me so calmly now, it should be that you haven't gone mad, I haven't heard of signs like you, it's better to swap your consciousness and see if you still have a burning feeling in my body, maybe there is something wrong with your body, so this is a warning to you. Niu Mu's clear voice came from his consciousness, and Wu Ming agreed to the other party's proposal immediately because he did not delay, and the two exchanged consciousnesses.
After the congenital realm, the soul power is condensed, and the appearance is a vague villain, usually staying in the sea of knowledge, but he can temporarily leave the body to exist independently, after exchanging consciousness, Niu Mou's innate realm is still a chaotic soul power, and Wu Ming's sea of consciousness is already a condensed soul.
After exchanging consciousness, Wu Ming knew that it was not his heart that was irritable, but the reason for his soul power, even after exchanging consciousness, he was still restless and had a feeling of wanting to fight.
At this time, someone pushed open his door, in Si Kou's house, there was only one person who dared to do this, that was Si Kou Lizhu, the eldest lady of Si Kou's family, Niu Mou, who was still in the exchange of consciousness, was stunned for a moment, Wu Ming had been dormant during the time he was in contact with Si Kou Lizhu, and he didn't know that there was such a person.
Seeing the other party coming in, he subconsciously stood up and made a posture of preparing for battle, this action made Si Ko Lizhu, who didn't know the truth, stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said: "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a few weeks, you don't know me anymore? Hey, wait, what is this on your forehead? Danhuo mark, are you still an alchemist? Why haven't I seen this mark on your head before, you are practicing alchemy in retreat during this period of retreat?"
Si Kou Yuzhu, who was cold in front of outsiders, talked more and more when facing Wu Ming, Niu Mu didn't dare to talk easily, and frantically told Wu Ming about the outside things in his consciousness: "A woman suddenly broke into your room, it seems that she is very familiar with you, what should I do now? Do you want to change your consciousness back?"
"It should be Lizhu, Brother Niu, don't worry, you ask her what's wrong first, if it's not particularly urgent, you can help me push it off, and I'll look for what is wrong with me now." β
When Wu Ming and Niu Mou were talking, Si Ko Lizhu had already come to Niu Mou's side, and reached out to touch the Danhuo mark on the other party's forehead.
"Ahem, that, Livzon, is there something you're looking for me?"
Niu Mu suddenly spoke, and the hand that Si Ko Lizhu was about to touch his forehead immediately retracted, and returned to his serious appearance and said: "That's the case, Xiao Ming, the selection of elite disciples in Qiushui City will start today, and when the time comes, not only the senior brothers of my sect will come to select outstanding disciples to practice in the Qianyuan Sect, but also the seniors of many other sects will also come."
I heard that Liren said that you have been inquiring about the Shuramen, so I will inform you to see if you want to go with me to choose a meeting, and maybe the people who can meet the Shuramen will not necessarily. β
Niu Mou's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he had a little more feminine, because the Danhuo mark between his eyebrows was even more demonic, and he was thinking on the surface, but he was actually contacting Wu Ming in his consciousness and asking his opinion, whether he wanted to choose such a rare opportunity, of course the latter would not give up easily, and agreed to come down repeatedly.
After getting the answer, Niu Mu raised his head and looked into Si Kou Yuzhu's eyes, and said softly: "Lizhu, you go to the door and wait for me for a while, I'll clean up and come out." β
Wu Ming had never spoken to Si Ko Lizhu so gently, nor was he so intimate when he called her name, seeing that the sideburns next to her ears were sticking to her lips, Niu Mu raised his right hand and gently smoothed her hair.
Only at that moment, Si Kou Yuzhu only felt that her head was blank, and her body was not under her control, and after regaining consciousness, she saw that "Wu Ming" was looking at her suspiciously, so she hurriedly ran out with a red face.
She didn't see it, as soon as she turned around, the Danhuo mark on Wu Ming's forehead began to gradually disappear, the feminine aura on his body slowly weakened, and the gentleness on his face was replaced by perseverance, this is the difference between him and Niu Mou, the tenderness in his heart, on the edge of life and death again and again, has long been lost.
Looking at Si Kou Lizhu who fled in a hurry, Wu Ming was secretly helpless, Niu Mu's character boy is too popular with women, polite and gentle, I am afraid that he will not become a prodigal son in love in the future, I don't know how many Huaichun girls will be harmed by him again.
"Don't take the opportunity to say bad things about me in your heart, I can perceive it, this Nizi is obviously interested in you, so she will be so lost under my unconscious movements, and now it has become my fault, Wu Ming, you are more and more able to shirk responsibility." β
When Wu Ming was still secretly thinking about Niu Mou's bad words, suddenly Niu Mou's voice sounded in his head, and he remembered that the consciousness of the two people was interconnected, and it was estimated that Niu Mou knew everything he was thinking about just now.
It seems that complete consciousness sharing is not a good thing, everyone should still have their own private space, Wu Ming immediately turned off part of his consciousness, and then said to Niu Mu: "Brother Niu, I think I still need some private space, otherwise you will know what I have to think carefully, and you yourself have not opened all your consciousness to me." β
"Well, got it, you should pack up and get out, don't let the family wait for you for too long. The other party's voice was neither salty nor light, and he was not angry because he closed some of his consciousness space, so it was best, the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he quickly changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
"It's not that I said, that Si Kou Lizhu little girl is very good, her cultivation qualifications, appearance, figure and temperament can be said to be the best choice, on the way to practice, it will be easier to have someone to accompany you, you don't have a dead face in front of anyone, you are almost an adult, in the empire, there are countless children in the family who got married and had children at the age of sixteen, you should also think about it. β
Wu Ming was changing clothes, and when he heard Niu Mou's words, he paused slightly, and then smiled lightly, the movements of his hands did not stop, but he said lightly: "Am I still a person? If I do, it is just a dead man, a walking corpse, you say that I am a dead face to anyone, it is indeed quite appropriate." β
Buckle the last clasp around his neck, the chain will automatically attach to his body, and tie the giant sword to his back namelessly, he can get to this point today, but there are some damned people who haven't died, and some people who should go home haven't returned.
"By the way, is there something wrong with your sexual orientation? You have a dead face to everyone else, how can you smile at me, I can tell you, my sexual orientation is normal, and I only like female creatures. β
"Brother Niu, you are not suitable for such a cold joke, the gap with your image is too big, okay, let's go, I hope our luck is better, and we can find the answer I need today." β
When he stepped out, his gaze was resolute, his footwork was steady, and he may not see a trace of the road ahead, but as long as he could still move, his steps would not stop.
In early spring, although the snow stopped, the chill was still there, the willow tips had begun to pull out new shoots, and there was also a little spring in the dry grass on the side of the road, Wu Ming did not choose to take the carriage arranged by Si Kou's family, but walked on foot, Si Kou Lizhu insisted on accompanying him, and he had no choice but to let her follow.
"If you really meet someone from the Shura Sect at the selection meeting, will you have to leave?" The fluff on the robe covered Si Ko Lizhu's face, making her who was already slightly bowed her head unable to see what kind of expression she was looking now.
"It should be, there is a person in the Shura Gate that I have been looking for for a long time, and a big reason why I came to the Imperial Capital is for him, so if I can gain something today, I must not let it go easily. β
"Who is so important that it is worth looking for so long?"
Wu Ming was silent for a long time, and had to spit out eight words: "The enemy of life and death, never die!"
