Chapter 269: Mysterious Black Shadow, Refusal of Family Affairs (Subscription Requested)

After Zhu'er left, Li Mu sat alone in the pavilion to admire the moon, but his thoughts slowly drifted away.

Qin Mengru ......

The queen wants to give me her cousin, but I should have impressed her with the strength of the battle with the sword demon, and she wants to win me over.

No, I'm already a deacon of the Hanlin Academy, and I have many enemies, so it's impossible for her to join other forces, so there's no need for her to do more.

Li Mu's mind was racing, and he quickly figured it out: Qin family!

Is it the Qin family behind the queen who wants to tie him to the Qin family's chariot?

"My strength has finally attracted the attention of these great families." Li Mu sighed.

It's just that if he agrees to this family business, as Zhu'er said, it can indeed help him a lot, but these family of gate valves will never do a loss-making business, the more you get, the more you pay!

Moreover, when you enter the family, you will definitely be bound by the rules of the family, if Qin Mengru is more rude and willful, how can he live this life?

Li Mu shook his head and said to himself, "It's still a comfortable day to be free." ”

Li Mu took out the peach blossom wine, took a few sips, the clear wine entered the abdomen, and a warmth flowed from the abdomen to the limbs.

At the same time, a surge of wine surged into his heart, Li Mu yawned, turned around and went back to the house to sleep.

With the strength of the wine, Li Mu quickly fell asleep.

In the dream, he saw Qin Mengyao, who was captivating the country and the city, holding a slender woman wearing a phoenix crown and a red hijab, walking towards him step by step, the queen was speechless, and silently put the bride's hand into his hand.

Li Mu couldn't wait to lift the red hijab, only to see that under the delicate phoenix crown, there was actually a skeletal face, and two hollow and deep skull eyes were staring at Li Mu like an abyss.

Li Mu was taken aback, he screamed loudly, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound!

He looked at the queen on the side in horror, but saw that the queen's beautiful face had turned into a skeleton at some point, staring at him gloomily, at this moment, Li Mu's scalp was numb, and a chill rushed to his head!

What a scary dream!

Li Mu quickly realized that he was dreaming, he silently recited the Ice Heart Formula, and the pink skeleton in the dream disappeared in an instant.

However, the chill in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he gradually felt creepy!

Not good!

Li Mu counterattacked very quickly, and when the sword heart was circulating, he didn't have time to open his eyes, so he pointed out.

Zheng~~

The piercing sound of the sword was accompanied by a brilliant cyan sword light, which instantly illuminated the small inner bed.

Li Mu opened his eyes, and golden ripples appeared in the child's hole, but he saw a black shadow like light smoke, and in an inexplicable way, the bird left.

Rumble!

In the next moment, the sword light tore through the window not far away, and the dark light of the stars and moon shone in from the window and spread on the ground.

"Who!" Li Mu quickly got up and chased after him, jumping out of the window, he was concentrating, there was silence all around, and there was no half a ghost!

Turning the tiger away from the mountain?

Li Mu immediately turned around and ran into the house, and after careful inspection, the doll was still sleeping on the small bed, and her saliva was duffing.

Except for the window that was torn by Li Mujianmang, the rest of the doors and windows were closed and locked.

Li Mu checked it carefully and found that there was no sign of it being opened.

Then Li Mu ran out of the house again to check the anti-Five Elements Great Array in the courtyard.

The large array is open, and if outsiders come in, they will inevitably block the other party out.

Even if a formation master has insight into the mystery of this formation and seals it into the big array, the formation will fluctuate.

And this subtle fluctuation, with Li Mu's vigilance, can be detected even in a dream!

"So, no one has entered the Anti-Five Elements Great Array?"

So what was the dark shadow I just saw?

Ghost?

The cold wind blew from outside the hospital, Li Mu only felt a chill on his back, he reached out and touched it, it was all cold sweat!

He entered the house, changed into clean clothes, sat on the bed, and stared at the ground illuminated by the stars and moon.

It was too dangerous just now, I thought it was a nightmare, but as a result, someone actually touched him closer, if it wasn't for the quick reaction, maybe he was already ...... at this time

Who is this 'man'?

The first thing Li Mu thought of was the Western Regions!

He only told them his location during the day, and at night it was difficult not to be suspicious!

It's just that how could they cross the anti-Five Elements Great Array and appear in front of him silently?

Secondly, it is naturally the king of Chu and the king of Shu, but if they have such a strange method, I am afraid that he will attack him when he first enters the imperial capital, so how can he wait until now to make a move?

But if not them, who would it be?

I haven't offended anyone lately!

Li Mu's expression was uncertain.

After that, Li Mu couldn't sleep anymore.

Time passed, and the day finally dawned.

The doll was still lying on the small bed, snoring and sleeping, and it seemed that she would not get up until noon.

Li Mu was no longer sleepy, he came to the outside of the Sword Pavilion, and after closing the anti-Five Elements Great Array, he called someone to come over and replace the window with a new one.

Subsequently, he called Lin Aimin and asked him to inform Zhu'er that Li Mu wanted to see her quickly!

In the middle of the day, the doll finally woke up, and under the supervision of Li Mu, she brushed her teeth and washed her face, and then ate roast duck.

When the doll ate the third one, Zhu'er was finally late.

"Li Mu, did you decide to call me over in such a hurry?" Zhu'er's eyes were shining, and she thought that Li Mu was going to agree to her family.

Li Mu was about to shake his head, shocked in his heart.

Could it be Qin Mengru last night?

Because she didn't want to marry me and couldn't disobey the Qin family, she ...... last night

Li Mu frowned.

"Li Mu?" Zhu'er looked at him strangely: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Li Mu shook his head, gathered his thoughts, and asked, "Zhu'er, is there something in the palace, why did you come so late." ”

"Something!" Zhu'er's eyes lit up, and he said: "The murderer of Honglu Temple Siqing has been caught, and he is a loose cultivator, but in the process of arresting, he wanted to escape from the sky, and was finally crushed to death by the big array. ”

Li Mu frowned: "This is clearly for the dead ghost!" ”

Zhu'er said: "That's what Niangniang said too! Also, Meng Yuan's missing monk Aguta was also found. ”

"Dead too?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows.

Zhu'er chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Yes, after he was killed, he sank to the bottom of the lake behind Honglu Temple, and someone fished in the lake at night last night, and his body was fished out!" Isn't it strange, you say? ”

"What's so strange about this, it's nothing more than killing people!" Li Mu sneered.

He and the sword demon had a big fight, if Ah Guda appeared at this time, how would Meng Yuan and the Xiongnu end?

It's better to die than to die!

"That's what the mother said! That's right! You haven't said yes or no! Zhu'er finally remembered to get down to business.

Li Mu shook his head slowly: "Zhu'er, thank you for my mother's kindness, but I don't want to be bound too much, this family business, I can only be sorry." ”

"You're really, huh!" Zhu'er seems to be very upset for her mother, and feels that Li Mu doesn't know the hearts of good people.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'm in a hurry to call you over this time, I have something important to ask you!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Zhu'er couldn't help but get serious, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Mu groaned: "That...... Is Qin Mengru in Dijing? ”

Zhu'er's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "Li Mu! Don't you believe my vision, I said it, although Miss Mengru is not stunning, she is also very beautiful, and she is not on par with Princess Yan! ”

Princess Yan is the tenth beauty in the world who has the name of nine stunning colors.

can be compared to Princess Yan, then Qin Mengru's beauty is indeed ...... Wait, I'm not asking this to know if she's pretty or not.

Li Mu felt that Zhu'er's ability to break the gap was really unmatched.

Li Mu sighed tiredly and said, "I don't want to know if she is beautiful, but ......"

"And what?" Zhu'er leaned over the baby's fat face and stared at him with a fierce gaze.

"Last night, something strange happened to me!" Li Mu had nothing to hide, and immediately told him what happened last night.

"Silently in front of your bed...... Do you suspect it's Miss Mengru? It's impossible, Miss Mengru will practice in the southeast coastal area! Zhu'er said seriously: "Moreover, with your cultivation and the protection of the anti-Five Elements Great Array, except for Abbot Huineng and the Quanzhen Viewer, I'm afraid no one will be able to approach you silently, right?" ”

It's not Qin Mengru.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It can't be Master Huineng and the Quanzhen Dao Master, they have no reason to do this!" Moreover, the black shadow was too strange when it left, like a ghost, and disappeared in an instant. ”

"Could it be that you left through the Escape Technique?" Zhu'er asked.

Li Mu shook his head: "It's not a retreat!" ”

He had seen the Escape Technique, and if the black shadow was gone, he would be able to detect it!

"Invisibility?" Zhu'er said again.

Li Mu still shook his head: "I've checked it carefully, but it's not." ”

"It's not, it's not, is it really a ghost?" Zhu'er swallowed her saliva with a little weakness, then blinked her eyes and asked: "Li Mu, could it be the ghost bride named Chu Ruoxi, she marries men everywhere in the middle of the night, and some people say that the person she really wants to marry is you, Li Mu, it won't be her to marry you, right?" ”

Li Mu couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "Chu Ruoxi is not a ghost, she is a human, and if it is really her, do you think that with her cultivation, she can hide it from me?" ”

"Oh yes." Zhu'er remembered that the ghost bride was in her early twenties on the ground list, and she couldn't compare with Li Mu at all.

But then she had no clue at all.

"Forget it, if she really wants to be bad for me, she will definitely appear, and then I will know who she is!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

"Then you must pay attention to safety!" Zhu'er was very worried, for fear that Li Mu would be killed in her sleep, so wouldn't Miss Mengru be widowed?

No, Li Mu refused this family business.

It's better to die, huh.

Zhu'er raised her head and said arrogantly: "I'll leave first if it's okay, hmph, pay attention to your own safety, don't die." ”

……

"Sister Zhu'er is so fierce today~" The doll ran out of the gazebo with a duck neck, and her porcelain doll-like little face was full of greasy.

Li Mu took out the silk step in disgust to wipe her face, and said, "Have you finished eating?" Recite the sutra after eating! ”

The doll's face immediately fell into the crotch, and she shouted pitifully: "Don't~"

"Women love to talk back, don't just want it, although the doll is a girl, but psychologically she is already a mature woman." Li Mu took out the Buddhist scriptures with relief.

The doll took it with a bitter face, and after half a salary, she began to chant the scriptures under Li Mu's obscenity.

Li Mu sat aside, his left ear in, his right ear out, and waited until there was an obvious pause in the doll's chanting, and then he got serious, reading the Buddhist scriptures and listening to the scriptures.

It didn't take long for the sound of the doll's scriptures to seem to be mixed with some kind of magic, or it may be that the yellowed pages of this Buddhist scripture have a heavy historical atmosphere, Li Mu listened, watched, and unconsciously fell into a trance, suddenly, he seemed to see the heavens and the earth, mountains and rivers, the sea and land, and all of this was compressed in a seal, look closely at this seal as big as heaven and earth, at first glance, and feel small as Sumeru.

Li Mu's heart jumped, and the scene in front of him suddenly retreated from his eyes like a streamer.

When he regained his 'eyesight', he saw the doll sitting lazily on the stone bench chanting, and the little short legs kicking the air.

Li Mu was stunned, and then secretly said that it was a pity!

He knew that he had missed an opportunity, but he quickly adjusted his mood, because, with a doll here, such an opportunity would not be less!

……

Palace.

Zichen Palace, a hundred gardens.

Qin Mengyao sat in the pavilion in the corner of the garden, enjoying the flowers and tea.

Xiao Ju leaned against the red pillar of the gazebo and took a nap.

Youlan and Leng Mei sat in the center of the Hundred Gardens, absorbing the Hundred Flowers.

In three days at most, the two of them will be able to complete the tempering and advance to the realm of the earth!

As for Xiaoju and Zhu'er...... Qin Mengyao shook her head slightly.

She wore a white palace dress today, with a tall figure, a waist full of hand, a green silk high pull, the breeze blowing, and a few strands of green silk naughtily dancing in the wind.

The goose egg face of Allure is covered with makeup, and the center of the eyebrows is attached to the red plum blossom flower, which is more dignified and elegant.

It's just a pair of phoenix eyes looking at the flowers, slightly distracted.

Yesterday, she received a letter from her father, hoping to make Shi Jianxian 'allied' with the Qin family.

Although Li Mu has long been famous in the name of poetry and sword immortals, in front of the family, it is not enough to see it, after all, Shenzhou has a history of 5,000 years, and there are not no good poems, not bad for Li Mu.

It wasn't until Li Mu was ranked third in the land list by Longhu Mountain and defeated the sword demon of the eleventh realm that the major families really paid attention to Li Mulai.

And the Qin family, as Qin Mengyao's maiden family, is naturally close to the water, and plans to get the 'moon' first through marriage!

Will he say yes?

Qin Mengyao looked at the hundred flowers that were still competing for bloom even in the cold winter, and felt a little melancholy in her heart: if this family business is completed, he will be from the palace...... Brother-in-law?

is obviously his subordinate, how did he become a brother-in-law?

Qin Mengyao's mood at the moment was a little strange.

"Mother." At this moment, a crisp voice came from a distance.

"Bamboo." Qin Mengyao said: "Li Mu agreed? ”

"Niangniang, Li Mu refused." Zhu'er said matter-of-factly: "I think he must think that Miss Mengru is not beautiful enough." ”

If it's more beautiful, it's nine stunning.

Qin Mengyao shook her head and smiled: "If you refuse, you will refuse." ”

For some reason, I was relieved.

It's not a brother-in-law, it's still his own subordinate.

"Niangniang, also, Li Mu met a ghost last night!" Zhu'er added oil and vinegar to tell Li Mu what she told her again.

"After the revival of the aura, there are indeed many ghosts in the world, but ......" Qin Mengyao frowned, Qingyou Mountain, as the base camp of the Hanlin Academy, was already shrouded in a spiritual array, whether it was a ghost or an evil demon, it was difficult to enter silently!

So, what exactly did Li Mu encounter?

"Niangniang, what's going on over there, big master? He's not going to be angry, is he? Zhu'er jumped out and said again.

"Father's side, Hongu will personally reply to the letter." Qin Mengyao condensed her and said, "Zhu'er, you should also step up your time to practice and break through to the earth." ”

"Ah, I, I see." Zhu'er kept her mouth shut, and turned back step by step into the depths of the Hundred Gardens, sitting not far from Youlan and Lengmei, and began to absorb the Hundred Flowers and refine herself.
