Chapter 25 Trouble Again
Tianqing Daoren's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand and said: "How can I not investigate the bloodline jade pendant, Shen Mu's little cub doesn't know what method he used, and it makes it difficult for me to detect his location, and the divination technique can't detect it at all." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yun and Cen Yubo were both moved, Tianqing Dao people were early Jindan cultivators, and they were able to hide his perception, could it be that there were masters guarding Shen Mu beside him?
Shangguan Yun folded the fan and said in a deep voice: "Can you determine the approximate direction? I can ask a friend who is good at hexagram to go with me, and dig three feet into the ground to find out that little cub!"
Among these three, Shangguan Yun is the most urgent to find Shen Mu, he is about to break through the Jin Dan, if there is no Shen Mu as a support, he has no confidence to condense the Jin Dan, when he is young and frivolous, he challenges the strong and makes his Dao heart damaged, and there is no hope for Jin Dan without relying on foreign objects.
"If Senior Brother in Charge gives me the bloodline jade pendant when you are in retreat, how can Shen Mu be..."
Shangguan Yun closed his mouth before he finished speaking, because the deep eyes of the Azure Daoist had already looked over, although there was no emotional fluctuation, it made Shangguan Yun break out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he said something that should not be said impulsively, he Shangguan Yun said that it sounded good and was the second helmsman of the Azure Daoist Temple, and if it was not good, he was a dog of the Azure Daoist.
"If you can find out the approximate location, the old man would have already captured Shen Mu and let the disciples in the sect search for a radius of thousands of miles! Shangguan Yun, Cen Yubo, the two of you will lead the team to the northwest and due north respectively, holding the bloodline jade pendant made by the old man, and searching for Shen Mu's traces!"
Tianqing Dao people flicked the two jade pendants to Shangguan Yun and Cen Yubo, this bloodline jade pendant originally had three pieces, when he took the lead in breaking through to Jindan, he took back the remaining two jade pendants, he wanted to control Shen Mu only in his own hands! But now it doesn't matter, if you find it, you will completely suck Shen Mu dry, if you can't find it, it's completely useless to keep it.
On this day, nearly half of the disciples of the Azure Daoist Temple poured out under the leadership of the elders, and the Azure Daoist was sitting in the Azure Daoist Temple, if any Fang Xiaoxiao dared to take advantage of this to make a move on the people of the Azure Daoist Temple, he would have to weigh whether he could afford his Azure Divine Palm, but the Azure Daoist was not arrogant enough to let them radiate a radius of thousands of miles, and the Jindan Monk was not the only one.
Shen Mu didn't know anything about this, and now he was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries, and the physical injuries were slowly repairing with the help of the Muscle Recovery Pill, but the injuries of the Yuan Shen bloodline were not ordinary pills that could be effective, and now Shen Mu was only able to recover to be able to walk normally.
Wang Yifan's sword qi was extremely sharp, and when he withdrew from that state, he had been eroding his body, preventing him from repairing his body, otherwise, it would have been impossible for Shen Mu to be injured to the point that he couldn't dodge the crossbow arrows before.
At this time, Su Yue came in with a bowl of clear porridge, and there were a few shredded meat on it, in this famine era, it was already a very high hospitality, and the Su family was able to keep the rice and grain continuous, or relied on Su Da Niu to hunt a lot, in exchange for meat.
Shen Mu took the porridge, drank it in a few sips, and finally had some warmth in his stomach, and after thanking him, he closed his eyes again, and used his spiritual power to get rid of the sword intent in his body.
Su Yue didn't bother him, turned her head and went out to help Sun Xiuying with chores, but she deliberately glanced at Shen Mu a few times before leaving, as if she had some guess in her heart.
All afternoon, Shen Mu was immersed in expelling the sword intent, Wang Yifan's sword intent had a sense of femininity, but it was extremely sharp, if it weren't for Shen Mu's spiritual power and demon power now being a lot stronger, he might not be able to deal with it, before in the dark cave, Shen Mu didn't dare to stay longer, for fear of being found by someone, so it was only now that he was able to calm down and heal.
Rao is like this, it still took Shen Mu three hours to get rid of them all, after a mouthful of black blood spurted out, Shen Mu's whole person was a lot more relaxed, and the Muscle Recovery Pill began to officially exert its effect, Shen Mu's chest wound returned to normal almost within a quarter of an hour, and Shen Mu also recovered the strength of the third layer of condensation.
The rest is the sequelae of blood burning and soul splitting, if it is not that the aura can be cured, it can only rely on the elixir that specializes in the treatment of the soul, but this kind of elixir, Shen Mu does not have it, and it is also precious and rare, at least in this remote mountain village, there is no shadow.
When night fell, the whole mountain village was silent, everyone couldn't afford candles these days, only Su Daniu's house still had animal fat for lighting, Su Yue came to Shen Mu's room with a bowl of food, and then lit the wick with flint, and a glimmer of light rose in the room.
"Brother Seven, it's time to eat, Daddy said before that your injuries have improved and you should be able to eat some food. ”
Under the dim light, Su Yue's face softened, and the original trace of heroism disappeared without a trace, like someone's little daughter-in-law.
Shen Mu knew that Su Da Niu had come to see him in the afternoon, so he just nodded, the reason why he came out of the cave and looked for food was also a reason, after taking the meal, Shen Mu suddenly looked at the door, where a short figure was standing.
Su Yue also looked over with Shen Mu's gaze, and this look made her angry, "Zhao Qi, are you finished? You also want to see if I send a meal, do you really think I have no temper?"
Zhao Qi walked in directly, and said angrily: "I don't let other men be with you, it's still so late, I don't know what Uncle Su thinks, raise some idlers here, since his injuries have improved, I'll send him away tomorrow." ”
Su Yue is angry and funny, this is really thick-skinned to a certain extent, Shen Qi is an idler, aren't you Zhao Qi A large family has been begging for nothing for so long, and at the end they also said that others eat idle meals, and the typical upper lip is to the sky, and the lower lip is on the ground - there is no face.
"Zhao Qi, when it comes to eating rice, don't you want to think about yourself? Don't annoy me, otherwise even if Daddy stops me, I will kick you out!"
"You... Yueyue, how can you talk like that? We are so much our own family, how can we be the same as this person from an unknown background, if you have nothing to eat in the future, I will also give you a bite to eat, but what about this stranger?"
Zhao Qi didn't have the consciousness of sending people under the fence at all, and he looked like he had taken advantage of the reason, originally he already felt that Shen Mu could not pose a "threat" to him today, but at the instigation of his father Zhao Lao Liu, he decided to come here again tonight to make trouble, and he had to drive Shen Mu away.
Su Yue gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Even if I, Su Yue, starve to death, I won't eat a bite of your food!"
Shen Mu secretly felt funny, this Zhao Qi was really direct, not at all as insidious as those people in the Azure Daoist Temple at the beginning, but Su Yue was his savior, if Zhao Qi made trouble like this again, he might make a move.
At this time, a trace of movement from the window attracted Shen Mu's attention, and listening to this slight sound, there should be two people walking out of the courtyard.
Seeing that Su Yue was like an angry little female cat, Zhao Qi was a little stunned, and after saying a few words in a vague voice, he left the house where Shen Mu was.
Although he has a wooden personality and has always been straightforward, he also knows that he should not provoke Su Yue at this time, he just needs to let her know that he dislikes Shen Mu, this is taught by his father Zhao Lao Liu, and he has to deal with girls if he wants to be indulged, and he can't be forced too hard.
Seeing Zhao Qi leaving, Su Yue calmed down a little, compared with Shen Qi's politeness, Zhao Qi's rudeness was even more unacceptable, Su Yue secretly thought in her heart that if she was looking for a husband in the future, she would find Shen Qi who was so gentle and elegant.
I am really not ashamed, Su Yue secretly took a sip in her heart, and at the same time her face was slightly red, how could she think of such a shameful thing, if Shen Qi knew about it, I am afraid she would laugh at herself.
Glancing at Shen Qi, she found that he was focused on eating, and did not notice the change in her face, so Su Yue calmed down, sat on the side and began to look at Shen Mu.
"Well, the appearance is not outstanding, not as chic as those sons in the storyteller's mouth, but it is not ugly, and the eyes are very bright, like stars in the sky. Su Yue muttered to herself in her heart, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Shen Mu felt that he was being scrutinized, stopped eating, and said with a smile: "Miss Su Yue, is it that I have rice grains on my face?"
Su Yue woke up in shock, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, I'm just curious, why are you so seriously injured, Brother Qi, today Daddy said that you are afraid that you will not be able to save yourself, but I didn't expect that you can now move normally, Daddy sometimes can't say it accurately!"
Shen Mu's face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't care about Su Yue's change of topic, and explained: "I was robbed by robbers while playing with my friends, and I escaped alone, I don't know how to escape to the snowy mountain, and thanks to the girl who saved my life." ”
When Su Yue heard that this was the case, she immediately felt indignant, and said hatefully: "It should be the group of robbers in Wuqi Mountain! Their favorite thing to do is to rob the house, and I heard that they are ruthless, son, it is really fateful that you can escape from them, if I learn martial arts in the future, I must get rid of them!"
Seeing Su Yue's appearance, Shen Mu smiled dumbly, a girl's family said that she wanted to get rid of robbers and robbers, and she always felt a little weird.
"Seventh brother, what are you laughing at? Do you think I don't have this ability? I'm very powerful, even my father said that I have a man's temperament, and I may not be able to get taught by the master in the future, and then walk the rivers and lakes!"
Su Yue yearns for walking the rivers and lakes, she has gone to the city with her father several times to sell game, so she heard a few stories of the rivers and lakes from Mr. Storyteller, she also knows that there seem to be immortals in this world, but she didn't think about herself at all, immortals are not casual.
Shen Mu stopped laughing, Su Yue's family is very simple, and there is no rejection of him, Su Yue even called him brother, if he has time in the future, he can get rid of those robbers in Wuqi Mountain, but he doesn't want to see the people in front of him go to the so-called rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are sinister, like Su Yue's heart, if he enters the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that his life will not last long.
"The rivers and lakes are sinister, or be a hunter at ease, if you can, I also want to be like you, be an ordinary person quietly, and live a good life. ”
Shen Mu had a look of sigh on his face, the rivers and lakes were still sinister, the road to cultivation was even more difficult, and it was just a common thing to die, but he would not give up because of the difficulties and obstacles ahead, and getting cultivation was the heaviest obsession in his life.
Su Yue had a faint feeling, and only felt that Shen Qi in front of him seemed to have become a little different at this time.
"It's not early, Miss Xiao Su go back and rest. ”
Shen Mu still couldn't call out the title "Yueyue", only called the girl, which made Su Yue very helpless, so he could only let him go.
"Then Brother Seven, you should also rest early, if you are injured, pay attention to your body. Su Yue picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, leaving Shen Mu alone with a flickering lamp.
In the next few days, Shen Mu has been recovering from his injuries at Su Yue's house, during this period, Su Da Niu sent some herbs to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and Shen Mu took them all, which can be regarded as a part of Su Da Niu's heart, and if he does not accept it, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Shen Mu has watched a few good dramas in the past few days, almost every day someone comes to the Su family to propose marriage, Su Yue, the beauty embryo, naturally many people are concerned, and in this kind of remote small place, the girl's family marries early, Su Yue is fifteen years old this year, and she has reached the age, so she has naturally become the object of everyone's attention, but Su Yue herself is not keen on this fact, she still thinks that she is a little girl in her heart, and those people in the village are too rude to make her feel good.
The good drama refers to the reaction of Zhao Qi's family, as long as Su Daniu and Sun Xiuying are not at home, they will directly scold people out, in their thoughts, Su Yue should be the daughter-in-law of their Zhao family, even if they entered the house and started to discuss, they have been sneering beside them, for some secret and ugly things in every household, they are simply like a few treasures, often making others ashamed and embarrassed, slamming the door and leaving.
In this regard, Su Daniu and Sun Xiuying have already made up their minds that the road will thaw in a few days, and let them go home directly! If they continue to stay here, their daughter will not be married!
Shen Mu didn't say a word about these things, just a spectator, originally he wanted to leave here directly, but before leaving, he still needed to do one more thing.
This night, the familiar footsteps appeared in the courtyard again, Shen Mu drank hot water, as if unintentionally looking outside, the footsteps were not unique to this night, almost every night.
And tonight, there was something different, Su Daniu suddenly urinated at night, and came to the yard to prepare for a small relief, but saw the scene that made his whole body angry.
"Zhao Lao Liu, what are you doing with my crossbow arrows? Okay, you eat things inside and outside, we will treat you with good food and drink, you are so wolf-hearted!"
The figure outside the window was frightened by this loud shout, and the thing he was holding in his hand fell, falling to the ground with a crisp sound one after another.
"Brother Su, I... I'm not..."Zhao Lao Liu seemed to want to explain, but he couldn't say anything, and he was a little frightened for a while.
The woman beside him was calm, and walked forward directly and said: "Brother Su, that's not what you said, they are all your own brothers, what's the point of taking some things? Besides, it's just a crossbow arrow, our family is poor, we can't be as rich as Brother Su, take it out and sell it to hunters in the same village, you can get a lot of money, we will definitely return the cost to you afterwards." ”
