Chapter Seventy-Seven: Old Horse
The Corpse Worm Pill did not disappoint Liu Lu, and within the expected time, the toxicity broke out as scheduled, from feeling the movement of the corpse worm in the body, to a heart-devouring pain rushing straight to the brain, in less than a moment.
This is a real heartbreak, Liu Lu didn't dare to endure it at all, the pain was secondary, no matter how uncomfortable it was, he could still hold on for a while, what he was really worried about was that after a long time, he was afraid that the corpse worm pill would cause irreversible damage in the body, and it would be a little more than worth the loss.
Liu Lu did not hesitate, and immediately took the antidote, and the medicinal properties of this antidote were also immediate, and in less than a cup of tea, he could feel that the corpse insect had calmed down, and he could no longer feel its existence hidden in the flesh and blood.
Liu Lu touched the cold sweat on his head, just that moment ago, it also made him break out in a cold sweat, and he still had some palpitations at this time.
"Xianyi, can you solve this corpse insect Gu poison?" Liu Lu asked Xian Yi for help, he didn't want to have such a big hidden danger in him at any time.
"This Gu poison is a bit strange, I'm afraid it's not a mundane means. With my current strength, I can't get rid of the corpse worm in your body for the time being, so I can only let it sleep and not poison it. ”
I still feel a little hidden danger after not being able to get rid of it completely, but I don't have to worry about it every day.
"I'm sorry for you, this thing is terrible."
A white light flashed, and before it entered his body, Liu Lu knew that Xian Yi had already made a move, although he didn't feel anything unusual.
"If you want to completely remove it, you don't have to rely on external forces, as long as you can break through, when the time comes, I will teach you the art of internal vision, and you can find it yourself and excrete it from your body."
Liu Lu nodded, not only for the hidden danger of corpse insects, but also for his own safety, he also had to find a way to break through as soon as possible, as long as he broke through to the early stage of the Qi refining period and became a real immortal cultivator, then his strength would have a qualitative improvement, and he no longer needed to follow the step-by-step path of the people who practiced martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and slowly accumulate to become a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and he could directly surpass the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.
At that time, the headquarters of the White Dragon Gang under Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon under Qiyun Peak may not be able to break through, but this Fengling Mountain will no longer be able to trap him, and in the future, if he faces the pursuit of the White Dragon Gang, even if the people of Fengzitang and Huozitang are exhausted, he will not have to be so embarrassed.
If it is still according to the kind of progress in Star City, Liu Lu feels that it is conservatively estimated that there is no time for three or five years, I am afraid that he will not be able to break through, but after this time the White Dragon Gang is chasing and killing, fighting again and again, and hovering on the edge of life and death, his body has broken through the previous limit, and the medicinal power of the True Qi Pill and the Root Bone Pill that he had eaten before that could not be attracted by his physical strength was also absorbed and dissolved by the body, so in just one or two months, his cultivation can be said to have progressed rapidly, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as advancing by leaps and bounds, with more than 300 tricks around his body, rushed through more than a hundred places at once, and now there are only the last ten or so left, which can be said to be just one foot away.
There are still two True Qi Pills and one Root Bone Pill left on his body, Liu Lu plans to use them for cultivation, as long as he can break through, without True Qi Pill, he can also save his own life, but if he can't break through, his strength has not advanced an inch, even if there are more True Qi Pills, he can't guarantee safety, and he can naturally distinguish the trade-offs.
On this Fengling Mountain, he couldn't sleep well, Liu Lu fortunately used it directly for cultivation at night, and after eating a True Qi Pill, he sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and closed his eyes and concentrated.
Early the next morning, when the broken bell rang, Liu Lu opened his eyes, got out of bed and moved his stiff muscles and bones a little, and went to get the food and water from the mine this time.
When he arrived at the entrance of the mine, ignoring the hairy monkeys, Liu Lu was silent, and lined up behind everyone to receive the tools in turn.
When he saw Liu Lu, the hairy monkey deliberately said more, "Remember, if you haven't collected a piece of spirit jade this time, you know what kind of consequences you will face." ”
Liu Lu didn't pay attention to the hairy monkey, as if he didn't hear it, he didn't look back into the mine, the hairy monkey just snorted coldly, but the second dog on the side couldn't see Liu Lu's arrogant appearance.
"Oops, this kid is so annoying." The second dog shouted to teach Liu Lu a lesson.
The hairy monkey stopped the second dog who wanted to rush into the mine and pull out Liu Lu, "Don't bother with it, there is a chance to clean him up, this time he had better find a piece of spirit jade." ”
Of course, Liu Lu is hardened now, without the threat of corpse worm Gu poison, even if he escapes now, what can the hairy monkey do to him. Of course, at present, this spirit stone waste mine is still waiting for him to excavate well, so naturally he will not leave so early.
This time, Liu Lu still chose the same path as yesterday, but before he could take a few steps, he heard someone calling him behind him.
"Little brother, wait for me."
Through the light shining through the hole, Liu Lu saw clearly that it was the old man from yesterday.
What kind of trick is this old man going to play, although Liu Lu didn't want the old man to disturb his next action, he still decided to see what the old man wanted to say.
"Senior ......"
After catching up, the old man directly interrupted Liu Lu, "Just call me Lao Ma." ”
"Old Ma, what are you looking for me?"
Lao Ma self-advisor: "What do you call the little brother?" ”
Does this person become self-conscious when he gets old, this old horse really only comes according to his own wishes, completely ignoring Liu Lu's question.
Liu Lu didn't have any expression on his face, "Xiao Liu." ”
"Xiao Liu, you shouldn't contradict Mao Tou and lead them, it's not good for you."
"Thank you! Is there anything else you can do? ”
The old horse walked in front and noticed that Liu Lu was not following, so he immediately made a move, "Old man, my eyes are not very good, come and light up." ”
Liu Lu, who was holding a torch and was about to light it, almost smashed a torch on the head of the old horse, if the old horse was not an old man, he really couldn't bear it.
Liu Lu lit the torch to follow the old horse, which can be regarded as illuminating the old horse.
"Old Ma, although I sympathize with you, I still have to suffer this crime at such an old age, but you see that I am also a newcomer, I starved yesterday because I didn't find Lingyu, and I am not familiar with these mines, so I am waiting for this time to explore well, otherwise after I find nothing this time, I will be finished, and you also know that I provoked a few monkeys."
Lao Ma obviously didn't understand Liu Lu's bitter words, or ignored them at all.
The old horse was behind him, his footsteps were quite steady, and he said unhurriedly: "Young people are too impatient, this search for spiritual jade relies on skills, not foot strength." ”
At Lao Ma's age, he can still live here quite nourishingly, Liu Lu believes that he has his own advantages, so he is also quite curious.
"Oh? Teach me some skills. ”
"Don't worry, old man, I stopped you, just to give you some guidance, and it can be regarded as repaying you for inviting me to eat meat yesterday, and I will definitely not let you return this time."
Hearing this, Liu Lu was overjoyed, he didn't expect that there were good people like Lao Ma in this kind of place, although he was full of confidence this time, but it was just a blind eye, and there was really no clear goal, the so-called "Old Horse Knows the Way", with the old horse leading, maybe it was really reliable.
"Really, don't lie to me."
The old horse head didn't reply, "With your wisdom, can I deceive you?" ”
"Yes." Liu Lu nodded, what he said was true.
Since he was going to go along, and he had to rely on the old horse to find the spirit stone, Liu Lu suddenly became a lot warmer, that is, to illuminate the old horse, and he was also clever, trying not to walk behind the old horse, so that the light in front of the old horse was dark.
"Old Ma, how long have you been here?"
"It's been more than ten years, I can't remember the specifics, and people are forgetful when they get old."
Ten years, it's really powerful, Liu Lu said in his heart.
In this way, the old horse can be regarded as a treasure, almost a living map.
"And why are you here?"
"I can't remember what it is."
Liu Lu doesn't believe this, the mining slaves here, even if they forget what their surname is, they will not forget why they came here, and they will not forget the grudge with the White Dragon Gang.
Just when Liu Lu and Lao Ma were chatting with each other, a torch was uncertain at a rather spacious fork in the road in front of them.
Knowing that there was someone in front of him, Liu Lu glanced at the old horse, wanting to see what he planned, but who knew that the old horse did not stop and walked straight over.
As he slowly approached, Liu Lu also saw clearly who was in front of him, a rough and tall strong man, with a circle of beards, even if he was dressed in tatters, he couldn't hide his rather majestic momentum.
Beside the strong man, there are two men who are thin and short, who seem to be the younger brothers of the strong man.
When he was outside, this strong man Liu Lu had seen it once, because there were some people who "stood out from the crowd" like this, it was difficult not to notice.
After observing in the past few days, Liu Lu also saw that among these mining slaves, not all of them are alone, there are many people who form gangs, and gather into a small gang in twos and threes, as for the purpose, it is nothing more than to huddle together for warmth, squeeze out the living space, and seize or prevent the seizure of Lingyu.
The strong man stopped motionless at the fork in the road, obviously because some people were not good.
"The old horse, he's fooling the new guy again." The strong man's voice was loud.
Liu Lu looked at the strong man and didn't say anything, just thinking about a question in his heart, with the chicken-like food on Fengling Mountain, how did the person in front of him maintain such a strong force.
Lao Ma laughed dryly, "Boss Mu doesn't want to laugh, Brother Xiao Liu and I hit it off at first sight, and we fell in love." ”
The strong man who was called Boss Mu by Lao Ma disdained, "The people who met you at first sight are buried in this mine." ”
Liu Lu not only heard these words a little inexplicably, but also felt a little infiltrating.
Immediately, Boss Mu said to Liu Lu: "This brother, are you interested in joining us?" ”
Liu Lu was a little surprised, he didn't expect this person to actually recruit him, and he didn't understand what this Boss Mu thought and what his purpose was, because he really couldn't see anything strange about him.
"Thanks to Boss Mu's kindness, I am used to being free alone." Liu Lu was naturally reluctant to join, although Lao Ma was an old fox with empty eyelashes, but with Lao Ma, it was a cooperative relationship at best, if he got to Boss Mu, I was afraid that it would only be a subordinate relationship.
Liu Lu doesn't mind hugging a thigh and being a little brother, but this thigh must be thick, and Boss Mu has not let him see anything powerful for the time being, except for being lighter and taller.
Boss Mu didn't force it, "Little brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can think about it slowly, after a long time, you will understand that in this kind of place, it is easier and more convenient to have a few powerful friends to help each other than one person." ”
"Okay, I'll take Boss Mu's suggestion seriously." Liu Lu didn't say anything to death, even if he couldn't join, he didn't want to set up an enemy and cause some unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, this Boss Mu can be a leader, looking at his appearance, he is also a powerful person, and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation between the two sides in the future.
"Little brother, if you figure it out, you can come to me, as long as you join us, Lingyu will naturally be indispensable to you."
Boss Mu is not an entangled person, but before leaving, he said something that made Liu Lu's heart a little hairy.
"Little brother, before leaving, I will give you a little advice, for so many years, there have been not ten people who have hit it off with Lao Ma, but there are seven or eight, and these people have all been buried in the mine."
After Boss Mu finished speaking, he led the two younger brothers to leave from the fork in the road without looking back.
And the old horse scolded a little angrily, "Mu Ning, you bastard, don't slander me, the old man is sitting on the end of my line." ”
Liu Lu stared at the thin old body of the old horse, and under the reflection of the firelight, the shadow falling on the rock wall of the mine seemed to be a little fangs and claws.
