Chapter 257: Shangning Mansion Again
Li Mu returned to the guest room and found that there was already one more person in the guest room - Ling Jiuhao.
Ling Jiuhao sat on a chair, drinking tea unhurriedly, while Huang Dou stood quietly behind him.
Shen Li and Yi Fan stood on the table and stood aside, Yi Fan's temperament was okay, even if he knew that the person in front of him was Ling Jiuhao, the head of the Nine Hundred Sect who could be compared to the thirteen leaders, he would not be too nervous. However, Shen Li was a little uncomfortable.
Because the person in front of her used to be her dependent, and he was her most beloved master. However, it was he who had been taking advantage of her.
As soon as Li Mu entered the door, everyone's eyes looked over.
Ling Jiuhao looked Li Mu up and down carefully, touched his beard and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back." ”
It was the first time Li Mu had seen Ling Jiuhao, if it weren't for Huang Dou's relationship, it would be difficult for him to connect the middle-aged man in front of him with the identity of the head of the Jiuqian Sect.
Li Mu closed the door and said, "Why didn't I come back?"
Ling Jiuhao didn't answer this question, he put down the cup and stood up. He circled around Li Mudu with interest, "When I rescued you in the small city, you were dressed in scale armor, but now those scale armor has all faded." Isn't this the reason for washing the marrow and cutting the hair?"
"Scale armor?" Li Mu frowned. After suffering the pain of breaking his hands and feet in a small town and fainting directly, Li Mu didn't know what happened afterward. However, when he woke up, his bed was littered with scales. Shen Li told him that it was from his body after he took the shark beads.
Shen Li told Li Mu that it was Ling Jiuhao who saved him at that time. Therefore, there was nothing strange about Ling Jiuhao seeing how he was covered in scale armor at that time. The reason why he frowned was because Ling Jiuhao directly said the four words "washing the marrow and cutting the hair".
The effect of shark beads on Li Mu can be described as a change of heaven and earth. The scale armor faded, and Li Mu's whole body changed. This situation is also completely in line with the four words of marrow washing and hair cutting.
Especially after waking up, the shark pearl true qi that filled the whole body gave Li Mu the illusion that he had worked for ten years in one night. In fact, that true qi Li Mu could only drive a trace of it. Only after Li Mu's transformation can he transform it into his true qi.
Those true qi were not completely absorbed until Li Mu got Gu Shuanghua's help. Because of this, Li Mu's strength soared, his true qi was sufficient, and he rushed into the realm of Najing in one fell swoop.
However, these things happened after Li Mu woke up, and Ling Jiuhao was not present, so he shouldn't have known.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't answer, Ling Jiuhao looked directly into Li Mu's eyes and asked, "Do you really have the ability to breathe underwater?"
"I've already answered that question. Li Mu glanced at Huang Dou.
Ling Jiuhao said, "I did ask you. However, the stakes are high, so I have to make sure again. Do you really have the ability to breathe underwater?"
Li Mu nodded, "There is no doubt about this. Can you answer me a question, though? Where did you get the word that I have this ability?"
Ling Jiuhao frowned slightly, and he said, "You don't need to know this question. ”
"No, I need to know. Li Mu didn't back down, "If you want me to do things for you, then you have to tell me." ”
The corners of Ling Jiuhao's mouth curled, "I heard that the condition you put forward before was to ask me to teach you the Nine Hundred Sword Technique? You do things for me this time, and I can promise you one thing. Now, you're saying let me tell you where I got this news from. Then do you choose the Nine Hundred Sword Technique, or the source of the news?"
"I want to choose both. Li Mu's words are so.
Ling Jiuhao smiled slightly, not seeing any movement from him. Li Mu only felt that his whole body stiffened, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Li Mu couldn't move his fingers even if he wanted to. "It's ......"
Li Mu suddenly remembered the scene when he was still in Mr. Su's school before, when the Crazy Lion Lu used his true qi to subdue himself and use this to channel the meridians of his body. That is, he is also the same as now, unable to move in the slightest.
Ling Jiuhao glanced at him, there was a slight contempt in his gaze. Step by step, he walked over to his original chair and sat down slowly. The moment he sat down, Li Mu felt his whole body loosen and his body regained its freedom.
Ling Jiuhao said lightly: "You are not qualified. ”
Li Mu took a deep breath, "Then I'll choose the source of the news." ”
"Oh?" this answer surprised Ling Jiuhao very much. Because of the Nine Hundred Sword Technique and the source of a message, the value of it, which is higher or lower, is it that everyone will choose the Nine Thousand Sword Technique, right? Is his own sword technique really so worthless?
Li Mu would choose this, of course, because of his own considerations. The people who know that Shark Zhu has given themselves the ability are either Shen Li, Yi Fan, Yue Yefeng, and other people. Also, it is Xu Zhilei who listens to Fengxuan. However, the people who learned the news were far more than Li Mu imagined. Of course, Li Mu wanted to find out that the news was leaked there.
The miracle of the shark bead made Li Mu reborn, if everyone in the world knew it, it would definitely not be a good thing for Li Mu. On the contrary, one trouble after another will come to the door. For example, this Ling Jiuhao in front of him is like this.
Ling Jiuhao looked at him with a smile, "You are really young, this choice is too unwise." Let me tell you, the source of the news is from Tingfeng Xuan. That is, the so-called wind media leader on the rivers and lakes. ”
Li Mu was stunned and completely stunned.
"I don't know how you got mixed up with the rivers and lakes, and I don't even know if you're looking for news and listening to Fengxuan. Ling Jiuhao picked up the teacup again. "However, not everyone can get the news about you. Only people who have some friendship with Tingfeng Xuan can know. Moreover, the price is not low. ”
Ling Jiuhao's words, Li Mu only listened to half of them. Because he remembered that Xu Zhilei swore to himself that he would not divulge news about himself. Is this a deception of oneself?
"Alright, what I promised you has been done, now, you have to come with me. Ling Jiuhao said to Li Mu.
Li Mu took a deep breath and suppressed all the doubts and anger in his heart. "Where are you going?"
"Ning Mansion. Ling Jiuhao reported these two words.
"Didn't you go directly to the Wu Clan's tomb?" Li Mu asked rhetorically.
Ling Jiuhao said: "This time, it's not as bad as my mistake, I always have to make some preparations. ”
"What does the preparation have to do with the Ning family?" Li Mu was even more confused.
Ling Jiuhao said: "There are some things that only some people have. As he spoke, he added, "I heard from my disciple that you still have something to do with the Ning family?"
When Li Mu heard this, his brows furrowed again. On the way to Yinlian County with Huang Dou, Yi Fan, a big mouth, accidentally leaked the relationship between Li Mu and Ning Zhitong to Huang Dou.
"You are an integral part of my plan. So, from now on, I can't let you out of my sight. Ling Jiuhao said very solemnly. "So, please. It's still early today, and Ningfu is not far away. Things have already been talked about before, just wait for Ning Zhixuan's news. ”
Ling Jiuhao stood up and beckoned to Li Mu. Li Mu glanced at him, then looked back at Shen Li and Yi Fan. Ling Jiuhao turned around and said, "Don't worry, this companion of yours, I will let my two apprentices watch." ”
Huang Dou walked up to Shen Li and nodded to Ling Jiuhao.
Li Mu helplessly followed Ling Jiuhao and walked out of the inn's room.
Ling Jiuhao took Li Mu to Ning Mansion. Walking side by side with Ling Jiuhao, Li Mu had some indescribable feelings in his heart. This person's strength far surpasses that of Li Mu. Li Mu was in a small city and was abused by Du Jiang. According to Shen Li, Ling Jiuhao and Du Jiang had a big fight, and finally retreated with the two of them. In such a comparison, Ling Jiuhao's strength is completely above Du Jiang.
Li Mu's gaze fell on the Nine Blades Sword on Ling Jiuhao's waist again. This sword was once held in Li Mu's hand. He knew very well that this sword was also a divine weapon. Compared with the production of the red clay sword furnace, it is also better.
Such a sword deserves such a person. In the face of this kind of strength, Li Mu had no power to resist at all.
The two walked through the streets and alleys and came to the front of the Ning Mansion.
Ling Jiuhao had obviously been here many times, so the Si Yan of the Ning Mansion also knew Ling Jiuhao. When Li Mu appeared behind Ling Jiuhao, that Si Yan couldn't control his expression and showed a hint of surprise. However, being able to be a priest in Ningfu is naturally a person with strong eyesight. He immediately lowered his head and said to Ling Jiuhao, "Guest, wait for me to report." With that, he walked through the door.
The change on Si Yan's face just now did not escape Ling Jiuhao's eyes. Ling Jiuhao turned his head and said, "It seems that the people of the Ning family do know you. The news is true. ”
Li Mu looked at him and said, "If you don't believe it, why did you bring me here?"
"You cannot believe all that you have heard, nor do you disbelieve it. In short, it is necessary to verify it personally before you can judge whether you can believe it, or how much you should believe it. Ling Jiuhao said seemingly casually.
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, "Senior Ling, is this teaching me?"
Ling Jiuhao snorted coldly: "Boy, I'm afraid you're exalting yourself too much." ”
Li Mu didn't speak.
Ling Jiuhao looked at him and said mockingly, "I thought that you had a relationship with Jiang Shuo, and you should have some eyesight. At least I can learn from Jiang Shuo's ruffianism, but I didn't expect that he was really a kid who didn't know anything about the world. ”
"Seniors know about Yue Jushi?" Li Mu couldn't help but say.
Ling Jiuhao sneered, "There is a grudge." ”
At this time, Ning Fu Si Yan ran out, saluted Ling Jiuhao and Li Mu, and said, "The eldest lord, please come in." ”
"Hmm, sir?" Li Mu said strangely.
Si Yan explained in a low voice on the side: "The old man is sick, and now the eldest master is temporarily in charge of the family's affairs. Two please. ”
