Chapter 3: Sunset Peak

"Father!! how about Mu'er!" Seeing the white-haired old man walking out, Li Zhenglong and the others hurriedly surrounded him.

"Hey!! with my cultivation, I can only temporarily suppress the poison of the Nether Pepper for a year, and after a year, I can't do anything!" the white-haired old man Li Yuncheng sighed with a look of regret.

Li Zhenglong still did not want to give up, and begged bitterly: "Father, is there really no way at all? You have to save him."

"If it were other poisons, I might be able to use some true yuan to expel it from my body, but the person who poisoned it was extremely ruthless, so I used the Yin and Cold Netherworld Pepper, which was still mixed with the Lingqu Pill!"

"The poison flowed all over his body when he broke through the acquired realm, and it had already been poisoned into the bone marrow, I tried my best to consume a lot of true yuan, but I could only suppress him for a year, but unfortunately, my Li family finally produced such a good seedling, and it died like this!"

After Li Yuncheng finished speaking, a few wisps of murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Hmph! I didn't expect that my grandfather, who claimed to the outside world that he was no longer in the world, was not dead, but fortunately, even he couldn't cure the poison of the Netherworld Pepper, and it was in vain that I spent a lot of money, a year, hehehe. ”

Hearing Li Yuncheng say that he couldn't save Li Mu, Li Feng's face changed imperceptibly, but no one could find his abnormality, because his face was always sad and sad.

"Go in and see him, from heaven to hell, this kid's life is hard enough!"

Li Yuncheng waved his hand, and then walked out, and Li Zhengkun hurriedly followed when he saw this.

"Brother!!" Li Xue cried and rushed into the room first, only Li Zhenglong followed the Li family, but the others dispersed, a person who was already equivalent to a dead person, in their opinion, was no longer worthy of their care, but Li Yuncheng, who suddenly 'came back from the dead', became the object of their pursuit.

Li Mu had been awake for a long time, and he was sitting on the bed in a daze at the moment, he heard everything Li Yuncheng said, including what Li Xue and others said before, and when he thought that he only had one year to live, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Brother, it's all Xue'er's bad, it's hurt you, woo..." Li Xue threw herself into Li Mu's arms and cried incessantly.

Li Mu didn't react, his eyes were blank, like a dead man, although Li Yuncheng suppressed the poison in his body, but anyone who knew that he only had one year to live would not be able to stand it, not to mention that he was a genius of the Li family not long ago, and he had an unlimited future.

Li Zhenglong sighed when he saw Li Mu's appearance at this moment, he didn't know how to comfort his son, who had always been serious to Li Mu, so he watched quietly.

"It's all Xue'er's fault, it's all Xue'er's bad, otherwise you wouldn't be like this, brother, you beat me and scold me, woo... Woo.."

Li Xue hugged Li Mu tightly, and her originally cute face had already cried into a little flower cat.

Seeing Li Xue's sad appearance, Li Mu's heart softened and patted Li Xue's back, "Brother doesn't blame Xue'er, they came for my brother in this matter, even if there is no Xue'er, they will try their best to poison me, Xue'er is good, don't cry"

"Really, brother, doesn't blame Xue'er?" Li Xue stopped crying, she held her mouth, and the tears still flowed uncontrollably.

"Of course it's true, you are my brother's favorite sister, how can my brother blame you!"

......

A month has passed in a hurry, this month the news about Li Mu in Dusk Cloud City has already spread throughout the city, for the original genius only has one year to live, most people have sympathy, only a small number of people are happy in their hearts, after all, Li Mu's talent is there, if he is allowed to grow up, the entire Dusk Cloud City will change his surname to Li.

Compared with Li Mu's affairs, more people are still concerned about Li Yuncheng, and there is a strong man in the innate realm in Dusk Cloud City, which is enough to change the pattern of many forces.

However, there is very little news about Li Yuncheng, because after suppressing the poison in Li Mu's body a month ago, Li Yuncheng, a powerhouse in the innate realm, suddenly disappeared, and even the people of the Li family did not know his whereabouts.

Time can always dilute everything, and as a month passed, Li Mu's affairs gradually calmed down, and at this moment, in the garden of the inner courtyard of the Li Mansion, Li Mu was lying among the flowers with his eyes closed.

After a month of recovery, Li Mu has recovered his vitality, at this time he is still an acquired realm martial artist, but the vitality in his body cannot be used for half a minute, all of them are sealed by Li Yuncheng, according to Li Yuncheng, once he uses his vitality, he will immediately break out of cold poison and die of poison.

"Mu'er, what are you thinking?"

Silently, Li Yuncheng's figure appeared beside Li Mu, and suddenly woke up Li Mu, who had his eyes closed.

"Grandpa!" Seeing that it was Li Yuncheng, Li Mu hurriedly stood up, and was still very grateful to this grandfather Li Mu who saved him, although the other party did not really save his life, but he also delayed the time of poisoning, which was equivalent to giving himself an extra year of life.

It's just that what Li Mu didn't expect was how Li Yuncheng, who suddenly disappeared a month ago, could suddenly appear beside him.

"Regarding your poison, I went to find several friends these days, but unfortunately, there is no feasible way to cure you, it is grandpa who is incompetent!"

Li Yuncheng said with some self-reproach, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Li Mu.

"Don't blame grandpa, grandpa has tried his best, I also want to open these days, life and death are in the sky, wealth and fortune are fate, since God doesn't let me live, I also accept my fate. ”

Li Mu smiled indifferently, these days he has already looked down on life and death a lot, and he can survive for a year after being poisoned by such a phantom pepper, which is already a great gift to him, but he hates the person who poisoned him.

"What life and death are in the sky! What kind of wealth and nobility follow your fate! I knew that you were so useless, and you spent a lot of my true yuan in vain! As my grandson Li Yuncheng, how could you be so useless! I actually believed in heaven and obeyed orders!" Li Yuncheng suddenly became furious, and the love in his eyes disappeared.

"Grandpa... I..."

"You don't have to say more! I know what you want to say, don't you just want to say that your deep Nether Pepper is so poisonous that even I can't detoxify you, so you can only wait for you to die, right? Li Yuncheng didn't have a good airway.

Li Mu nodded a little disappointed, although he was not afraid of life and death, it didn't mean that he wanted to die, who wanted to die if he was alive and well.

"We martial artists, cultivating martial arts to seek immortality is to fight with the heavens and the earth, how can we lightly resign ourselves to fate, even if we are poisoned? Even if we only have one year to live? Even if we are really dead, what if we don't give up at least at the last moment before we die, so that we don't count as a nest, so that we don't come to this world in vain!"

"Mu'er, although my grandfather has been hiding in the shadows before, and no one knows that I am alive except for a limited number of people such as your father and uncle, but I have been secretly guarding my Li family for so many years, and I also see everything about you."

"You broke into the acquired realm at the age of twelve, although it is closely related to your talent, but it is also inseparable from your efforts and dedication, as the so-called Saiong loses his horse and knows whether it is a blessing, you have to look at a little bit of things, instead of being so muddy every day, you might as well go out and break through" Li Yuncheng patted Li Mu's shoulder after speaking.

"Go out and break through?" Li Mu's eyes flashed, a little unexpected.

"Yes, young people should go outside and walk around more, although your time is short, but maybe there is another opportunity, it is better than waiting for death at home, I already know about your poisoning, but because of the stability of the family, I have to turn a blind eye, if one day you return from poisoning, grandpa will definitely seek justice for you!" Li Yuncheng said, with a few traces of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"Okay! Go out and break in! Actually, I've wanted to go out and walk around for a long time, but my father didn't want me to leave Dusk Cloud City for so many years."

"By the way, grandpa, can you tell me about my mother? I haven't seen my mother since I was born, and all the elders in the house have never mentioned my mother's affairs all these years, I really want to know the reason," Li Mu asked after a while.

"As for your mother, it was really hard for you to know about this before, and no wonder they didn't want you to know, but you are in this situation... Well, if you want to know about this, go and ask your father."

"Okay, I've said everything I should have said, and I've done everything I need to do, so do it yourself, I hope our grandparents and grandchildren will have a goodbye day in two days."

After Li Yuncheng finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared in front of Li Mu's eyes, and Li Mu felt envious in his heart.

...

"What! You want to go out and break in? This can't be done, how can you travel far alone in your current situation, I don't agree!" In a house in the Li Mansion, Li Zhenglong said angrily at Li Mu.

"Brother, Xue'er doesn't want you to go out, uncle, they said, you only have less than a year... Xue'er wants to accompany you more, I don't want you to go, woo..."Li Xue cried sadly, pulling Li Mu's trouser leg tightly.

"Father, this is what grandpa meant, not to mention that I also want to go out and break in, so it is not in vain, I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I will rush back as soon as possible to see you for the last time before I die! I will not die outside!" Li Mu hugged Li Xue and said with some sadness.

"Your grandfather? You said this is what your grandfather meant? Is your grandfather back?" Li Zhenglong said in surprise.

Li Mu nodded, and repeated the content of meeting Li Yuncheng and talking with Li Yuncheng.

"Hey, since your grandfather said so, okay, you can go out for a walk, but you must remember to come back, it's useless to be a father, you can't save you, and you don't even have the ability to find the person who framed you to avenge you," Li Zhenglong said with a look of indebtedness.

"Don't blame my father, I've seen it, but before I leave, I hope my father can tell me about my mother, I asked my grandfather, but my grandfather didn't want to say, he wanted me to ask you"

"Mu'er, about your mother, I didn't plan to tell you before you reached the innate realm, but your current situation... Well, well, my father will tell you when you come back, okay?"

Talking about Li Mu's mother, Li Zhenglong's expression on his face changed, and finally he sighed.

"Well, yes, then I'll go and get ready to prepare, get ready to go" Li Mu finished speaking and left the room with Li Xue in his arms.

Regarding his mother, this has always been a knot in Li Mu's heart, he and Li Xue were not born to the same mother, about his own mother, he has no memory since he was conscious, and the rest of the Li Mansion never mentioned his biological mother.

......

Sunset Peak, one of the highest peaks in the Chu State, has always been famous for its beautiful scenery of high mountains and dangerous waters, and for countless years, I don't know how many literati and tourists have come to climb high and enjoy the scenery.

At this moment, at the peak of Sunset Peak, a young man was holding a long sword and leading a horse, looking at the vast mountains covered with dense fog in the distance of Sunset Peak, and he was looking stunned.

This young man is Li Mu, and it has been half a month since he left the Li Mansion to travel, and in the past half a month, he has first traveled to several famous mountains and rivers near Dusk Cloud City, and then he has stayed away from Dusk Cloud City.

Li Mu has also gained a lot of knowledge while walking and playing along the way, and today he happened to come to this sunset peak, wanting to have a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of Sunset Peak.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, suddenly Li Mu felt a hint of danger, although he was only twelve years old in the acquired realm, but the realm was here, and after breaking through the acquired realm, his senses became extremely acute.

Sensing the danger, Li Mu reacted immediately, he pulled out the long sword in his hand, and glanced around to be on guard.

"Whoosh!!" An arrow shadow flew out of a bush in the distance with a piercing sound of breaking the sky, and came straight to Li Mu's chest.

"Who dares to attack me!"

The long sword in Li Mu's hand danced, although he could not operate the vitality in his body, but his own strength could also be ten heavier than solid, and he had thousands of catties of strength.
