Chapter 589 - Summoning the Revenant
Everyone was angry, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
Everyone knows the importance of Zhao Mu to Sanssouci Village, if it weren't for the elixir refined by Zhao Mu, everyone's strength would not have improved by leaps and bounds, cultivation would not have been smooth sailing, and in the face of strong enemies, it would be impossible to instantly increase combat effectiveness, ten times and dozens of times higher, cut down the strong enemy from the horse, and protect the safety of Sanssouci Village.
Even the village chief couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while, and the pill refined by Zhao Mu was also of great significance to him, and he couldn't ignore Zhao Mu's safety.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
Li Yi didn't want to delay, his fingers were slightly forced, and he stabbed a wound on Zhao Mu's neck, and shouted: "My patience is limited, why don't you hurry up and lead the way?" Do you really want to force me to be ruthless?!"
The beautiful woman was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted, "I'll take you there, you must not hurt Mr."
"Luoyue, what are you doing?" Liu Xi shouted, "How can it be your turn to call the shots for such a big matter?"
Luoyue shouted: "Do you want to watch your husband killed? Since this person wants to go to the altar to summon spirits, why don't we let him go, he is not afraid of shadows, even if he really summons the souls of the dead, it will be useless, and he can't change anything, so why should we worry?"
Liu Xi said: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" Although it was a scolding, his voice was obviously quieter.
Most of the people agreed with Luoyue's words, but the village chief had not yet spoken, and no one dared to assert himself.
Luoyue suddenly knelt down towards the village chief and begged: "Village chief, you just promise him, just take it for the sake of Mr., Mr. is weak, but he can't stand him so much!"
When she knelt down, many people were immediately moved, especially a few women, who were already soft-hearted, and they were usually the same sisters as the moonset, and they also knelt down, begging: "Village chief, you just promise him!"
The rest of the group of men, you look at me, I look at you, although they didn't speak, their minds had already been shaken, and their expressions changed, showing what they thought in their hearts.
"Village chief, do you see if it's ......" Liu Xi was not only concerned about Zhao Mu's safety, but also worried about the safety of his younger brother Liu Zong, and took the lead in pleading with the village chief.
He firmly believed that Zhao Yue was the murderer, so he felt that even if Li Yi was allowed to enter Sanssouci Village to verify, it would not be a big deal, anyway, it was impossible for the black to be found to be white, and it was impossible for the white to be found to be black, even if he broke the rules of Sanssouci Village for this, it was a last resort.
The village chief was silent for a while, and suddenly let out a long sigh and said: "The rules are set by people, if you can't even keep people, then what else do you need to do?" Mu Yun, whether this is your real name or not, I only hope that you will keep your word and don't go back on your word." ”
Li Yi didn't expect him to agree, he thought that he would be tough to the end and not allow himself to have a chance to summon the soul of the deceased, after all, once the soul of the deceased appeared, all the truth would be revealed, but as soon as his thoughts turned, Li Yi was relieved and said secretly: "He must have thought that I didn't have the ability to summon the soul." Hmph, although this old monster is cunning and cunning, after all, I will completely expose his true face and let him die without a place to be buried!"
"I, Muyun, swear to the sky, and do what I say!" Li Yi said in a deep voice.
To outsiders, he was responding to the village chief's words, but in fact, he was just responding to what he was thinking.
So the people led by the village chief and walked towards the cave.
Luoyue and Liu Xi insisted on following Li Yi to prevent Li Yi from taking the opportunity to escape, and Li Yi also let them, anyway, just the two of them, even if they attacked from behind, Li Yi had enough means to deal with it, but there was nothing to worry about.
A group of people crossed a long road, suddenly the eyes suddenly opened, there is indeed a cave inside the mountain, and there is even a clear river, there are stone houses and wooden houses built on both sides of the river, and there are arched bridges on the river, just like a small village, and there are all kinds of strange flowers and plants in the middle as embellishments, like a paradise atmosphere.
In the center of the village, there is a vacant land with a radius of hundreds of zhang, and there is an altar nearly ten zhang high built on the clearing, and on the top stands a statue blackened by smoke, which is a majestic old man, lifelike, with a pair of bright eyes looking down on all beings, like a god.
"Is this the King of the Fourth Realm?" Li Yi secretly remembered the appearance of the statue in his heart, "I don't know if the carved image is not." ”
Hearing the big movement here, the other people in Sanssouci Village all walked out of their homes one after another, gathered around the altar, and looked at Li Yi with a curious gaze, after knowing what Li Yi was going to do, there was a trace of doubt and disdain in the curiosity, no one believed that he could summon the revenant.
The village chief stared at Li Yi coldly and said, "You can start." ”
Li Yi put Zhao Mu down.
Zhao Mu was not angry because he was held hostage, but looked at him nervously, and even had a trace of expectation in the nervousness, although he knew that there was little hope, but it was better than being separated forever.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Yi.
In the midst of all the attention, Li Yi took a deep breath and urged the law of the undead, and a soul lamp emitting white light appeared above his head.
The white light was quiet and mysterious, it seemed to come from the Nine Hells, revealing an eerie chill that made people can't help but shudder.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked surprised, held their breath and condensed, and they didn't recognize the origin of the soul lamp, and some people immediately raised their vigilance and secretly operated the true qi to prevent the soul lamp from hiding a killing machine.
"Soul, come back!" Li Yi suddenly pointed his hand to the soul lamp and shouted.
The soul lamp immediately spun around, and in an instant, the white light was magnificent, and it landed on the altar like a soul envoy, enveloping the entire altar.
The crowd stared intently, watching the changes in the altar.
At first, the altar was just calm, and the sneer on everyone's faces became thicker, but at this moment, something magical happened, only to see that inside the altar, there were wisps of transparent filaments rising into the air, converging towards the soul lamp in mid-air, and it didn't take long for it to condense into the shape of an old woman.
Everyone was stunned and shocked, and they couldn't speak for a while.
The village chief's face changed even more.
"Mother!" Suddenly, Zhao Mu knelt on the ground with a thud, looked up at the sky, and burst into tears.
After hearing the voice, the old woman slowly opened her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Mu'er......" Suddenly her face changed, and asked, "What's wrong with your neck, who hurt you?"
She didn't care about her own death, but she first cared about her son's little injury, everyone saw this scene, they were all moved, shaking their heads and sighing abounded, and some people scolded Zhao Yue angrily in their hearts.
"Mother, it's my son's unfilial piety that makes you suffer!" Zhao Mu couldn't cry.
Li Yi said loudly: "Old man, you have another son named Zhao Yue, I think you should remember it, right? Now he has been accused of being the culprit who killed you, making him infamous and homeless, so I reunited your soul in order to ask you, who is the murderer of you?"
The old woman turned her head to look at Li Yi, frowned, and said, "Who are you? ”
Li Yidao: "My name is Mu Yun, but I am just a passer-by who pulled out a knife to help me when I saw injustice, old man, since you love your son so much, I think you can't bear to see another son being wronged, right?
When the old woman heard this, an expression of sadness and anger appeared on her face, and she wondered if it was because her son had been wronged or because her son had murdered his mother.
Everyone looked at her intently, quietly waiting for her to speak.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground, and you could even faintly hear the nervous heartbeat of some people.
Although everyone firmly believes that Zhao Yue is the murderer, it is one thing to believe it, and it is another thing to say it in person from the mouth of the deceased.
Li Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the matter has come to this point, he feels that it can be successfully over, if he is not completely sure before meeting the village chief, then after seeing the village chief, he can be said to be completely sure that the village chief is the murderer, whether it is from the village chief's obstruction, or the subtle changes in his expression, it is certain that he is the murderer.
As long as the old woman said the name of the village chief, then she could justifiably take down the village chief in one fell swoop, completely devouring and refining, which could not only uphold justice, but also improve cultivation, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"My murderer is ......," the old woman finally spoke slowly.
And all the hearts of the people were raised to their throats.
"My son------ Zhao Yue!" said the old woman, closing her eyes in pain.
"What?" Li Yi was taken aback, so surprised that he couldn't speak, all along, he trusted his instincts, and his intuition told him that the village chief was the murderer, and Zhao Yue was innocent, could it be that his intuition was wrong? It was Zhao Yue who deceived him? If Zhao Yue was the murderer, then wouldn't he harm the two of them by leaving Zhou Zhen and Liu Zong in Zhao Yue's care?
In an instant, countless thoughts turned in Li Yi's heart, especially when he thought that he might make a big mistake, he was even more shocked into a cold sweat and felt a burst of remorse.
The reaction of the others was relatively calm, with such an expression, except for Li Yi, no one was surprised by this result.
"Zhao Yue, you are really a brute!" Liu Xi scolded angrily, "When I catch you, if I don't break your body into thousands of pieces, I only hate in my heart!"
The village chief stared at Li Yi with burning eyes, and said coldly: "So far, what else do you have to say? Even the deceased identified Zhao Yue as the real murderer, do you still want to reverse black and white and splash dirty water on the old man's head? If you want to live, you must honestly explain clearly, where Zhao Yue is, if there is the slightest truth, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
