After returning to the Palace of Eternal Life, Mu Zisu pretended to be fine, and still made merit for the lotus. Even Gu Xiuyuan, who was as meticulous as a needle, didn't notice anything wrong. She looked at the portrait of a sword on the wall for a long time. She gently stroked the peerless posture on the painting, and sighed a little sadly: "It's still good for you......"

That afternoon, a family of refugees came to the Eternal Life Palace, saying that they were passing through this place and wanted to spend the night.

After Mu Zisu heard this, he said, "You can stay as long as you want, but you don't have to eat." ”

"Boss, please rest assured, we will pay for the food," the man tightly squeezed the few silver taels in the money bag, reluctantly took out some copper plates, and said, "It's okay for us to only have white porridge, but the child is growing up, can we ...... Make them a little meat and vegetables. ”

"Yes. But where are you from? Did something happen? ”

The woman coaxed the child in her arms and said with a sad face: "We were originally croppers in the Jiming Mountain in the northeast of Nanzhan Buzhou, and we made a living from farming, I don't know if the head of the family has heard of the old demon of Montenegro." ”

Mu Zisu said: "This name sounds terrifying! Is it the one who harmed you? ”

The woman shook her head and said, "No, it is the mountain soul of Jiming Mountain, a tree spirit, a large part of the villagers in Jiming Mountain are retired monks, it not only gives birth to the entire Jiming Mountain, so that we have a good harvest every year, and even after the monks' enemies come to the door, they will protect the monks of Jiming Mountain." ”

Gu Xiuyuan said: "I heard that the mountain soul is a good material for the cultivation of demon cultivators. ”

The man said, "That's right, there are many demon cultivators who covet it, but some monks in the village protect it. But not long ago, a powerful demon cultivator came...... Once it is swallowed, the entire Jiming Mountain will collapse, and thousands of people in the village will die, so it has been struggling to let everyone leave first. But that's our homeland, and after living for so many years, who wants to give up their hometown? ”

The woman held back her tears and said, "Those monks swore to die and fought to the end against that demon cultivator, so they covered for us ordinary people who had not cultivated to leave first...... But," she wept bitterly, "many, many people did not escape!" All dead at the hands of that demon cultivator! ”

Looking at the woman's crying appearance, everyone couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.

Gu Xiuyuan asked, "Why don't you go to the Forbidden Palace?" ”

The man sighed and said, "We looked for it, but even if we sold the whole village as slaves, we couldn't make up that much money." Our village chief also went around begging the monks, after all, the demon cultivator was a fifth-order pure gold, they either didn't think the money was too much, or they thought it was too dangerous, and also, who would jump into the fire pit for this money. It's all fate......"

Gu Xiuyuan has always been compassionate and compassionate, how can there be any reason not to take action! Even if he can't beat the other party, at worst, he has to cover the safe evacuation of the remaining monks, right?

But his family is not profitable and cannot afford to be in charge early...... Would you agree with him doing this?

At this time, Mu Zisu moved his shoulders and limbs, and the joints of his ten fingers gurgle.

"Jiming Mountain, right? Hopefully they'll make it to me by the time I arrive! ”

Gu Xiuyuan was shocked, "You...... What did you say? ”

"I'm going to Jiming Mountain, remember to leave me food at night!"

Everyone is stupid, they heard it right, right?! Is this a change of sex?
