On the seventh day of the boundary between the desert and the Gobi, the group encountered the only water source in the journey, a small spring, which is rumored to be called the Life-Saving Spring.

They had to rest here, especially to recuperate their horses, before they could continue the trek for the next five or six days.

The wild horses have been following behind, five or six miles apart during the day, and approaching two or three miles at night, neither making conditions nor rescuing people, occasionally disappearing for a while, and after an hour or two, they will appear in the sight of several people.

After two days of exposure, the old man became less and less human, and his skin was loosely draped over his body, like a doll with poor workmanship, and only after the sun went down would he recover a little energy.

As long as he still has the strength to open his mouth, he will chatter endlessly, boasting about his martial arts, commenting on the stunts of various factions, coercing and luring everyone to let him go, and sometimes secretly using the Seven Turns Demon Sound, which makes Shangguan Hong restless.

The lotus girl left the old man Mu alive in order to improve Xiaoyuetang's martial arts, but she was not in a hurry at all, and after five more days, the old man Mu's skills were completely eliminated, so she was naturally at her mercy.

The three men in the team all wished that the old man Mu would die quickly, only Shangguan Ru couldn't bear it, and it was at her request that the lotus girl allowed him to put on a thin piece of black gauze during the day to relieve his pain.

In the evening when he arrived at the life-saving spring, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl were guarding the wild horses nearby, Shangguan Hong went to fill everyone's water bladder with clear water, Shangguan Fei couldn't stand the nagging of the old man Mu, and hid in the distance to sleep.

He was so tired that he fell asleep, thinking that he was still the ninth young master of Jinpeng Castle, and he was being served by a group of slaves in the stone castle.

Shangguan Ru was the only one left beside Old Man Mu, he hoarsely voiced, and whispered, "Your name is Shangguan Ru?"

Shangguan Ru ignored him, although she couldn't bear to watch Old Man Mu suffer alive, she knew very well in her heart that this was a murderous demon.

"I really can't tell that you are the daughter of King Dubu. Old man Mu is used to talking to himself, so he doesn't feel embarrassed at all, "People say that the nine sons and eight daughters of Dubu Wang belong to the ten sons and the most fatherly, but I look at your appearance, it seems to be ...... It's not ruthless enough. ”

Only a few people know about Shangguan Ru's disappearance of murderous intent, and the tenth prince in the impression of the residents of Biyu City is still the tomboy who wants to be the young master, and many people still think that the reason why she was forced to wear women's clothes under house arrest is because she is too murderous.

Shangguan Ru still didn't speak, the Dragon King and the others would come back soon, and Old Man Mu had to hurry up, "Little girl's thoughts, the old man understands best, I don't live in vain at such an age." The dragon king and that woman are not clear, you feel uncomfortable, don't you?"

Shangguan was caught off guard, his cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and he had to open his mouth to refute, "No, don't talk nonsense." ”

Old man Mu laughed a few times, in the past two days, his eyes have not been idle, and he can clearly see the personalities and complex relationships of the five people.

"You just let me talk nonsense, one of them is the Dragon King, there are thousands of swordsmen under him, and the other is a master disciple of Xiaoyuetang, with strong swordsmanship, he can keep pace with the Dragon King, and he has learned a secret technique, which can be called the right-hand man of the Dragon King, alas, he was born a pair, and it will be difficult to think about it not in the future, give birth to a lot of sons and daughters, and it is possible to get a little Jinpeng Fort out......"

Shangguan Ru felt that she should be angry, but she only felt sad, "You are all talking nonsense, Dragon King...... Will marry a princess. ”

"By the way, there is also a princess, so what, he is the dragon king, and dozens of wives are not taken seriously, but unfortunately, some people can't even enter these dozens of them. ”

Old Man Mu's humiliation was too much, Shangguan Ru's face flushed away, and he said coldly: "I am myself, no one is qualified to choose me, you want me to save you, die as soon as possible, you are the devil who kills people without blinking, I will never let you be a disaster to the world again, you should be guilty, think about those who were killed by you, as well as their relatives and friends." ”

"I've been thinking about it. Old man Mu said unconvinced, "In the past two days, I have barely supported myself by fantasizing about the tragic situation before their deaths, little girl, you don't understand the fun of killing, let me tell you......"

Shangguan Ru didn't want to hear it, turned around to leave, Old Man Mu hurriedly changed the topic, this little girl was not the same as he imagined, and she couldn't be moved by love matters, "Wait, I won't talk nonsense." ”

Shangguan Ru was the only guardian and couldn't get too far away, so he stopped when he heard the words.

"Look at your skills, you must have learned the Daoless Divine Skill, and you learned it secretly, right?"

Wudao Divine Skill is one of the top exercises in Jinpeng Castle, which has always been kept secret and only passed on to the next generation of heirs to the king's title, so Old Man Mu guessed that Shangguan Ru's internal strength was not coming from the right way.

"It's none of your business. ”

"That's, I don't care, you Jinpeng Castle have no Dao magic skills, the old man's skills are not bad, but the pair of men and women Dajue Sword Sutra, I didn't expect it to be so powerful, it is said that this set of swordsmanship was originally a stunt in the castle, why wouldn't you?"

Shangguan Ru shut up and didn't answer.

Old Man Mu poked at her sore spot every word, and she grasped a little more in her heart, "Alas, the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl, the defectors of Jinpeng Castle, have more martial arts than the Dubu King's daughter's association, this, it's really unreasonable." ”

"It's unreasonable for people like you to live, like ...... Jinpeng Castle is unreasonable. ”

"That's right, yes, but anyway, I'm not worth it for you. ”

Shangguan Ru turned around and saw the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl walking side by side through the twilight, and on the other side, Shangguan Hong was carrying a dozen or so water bladders on his shoulders, and he was also staggering back.

"The two of them have learned seven chapters of Wudao Divine Skills, and they think they are invincible in the world, it's really ridiculous, if I wasn't careless for a while, hum. Old man Mu was still nagging relentlessly.

Shangguan Ru was a little surprised, Old Man Mu knew a lot about the Daoless Divine Skill.

"Actually, that's only half of it-more than half--Divine Skills, there are several chapters behind, and only after learning it is called the real invincible in the world, the old man doesn't dare to come to Jinpeng Fort to spread wild, what he is afraid of is this set of exercises. ”

Shangguan Ru looked at Old Man Mu suspiciously, the seven chapters of the "Book of No Dao" did seem to be unfinished, but there were only seven chapters in Jinpeng Castle, which was certain.

Old man Mu laughed a few more times, knowing that the following words would surprise the little girl, "There are a total of eight chapters of divine skills in Jinpeng Castle, don't you know? Dubu Wang still has one chapter in his hand, he thinks that only he knows this secret, but in fact, the old man has long known it, so he will retreat and let him have a few points." ”

Shangguan Ru's doubts flashed, she even disappeared with murderous intent, and she didn't care how many chapters there were in the Dao Divine Skill.

The dragon king and the lotus girl got closer and closer, and the old man Mu had no time to pave the way, so he said eagerly: "Let me go, I will help you get the eighth chapter, with your current foundation, a year and a half of practice, it is enough to surpass the pair of men and women, and then the dragon king will not have to come over to please you like a dog?"

Old Man Mu overestimated his own persuasiveness, and Shangguan Ru did not let him go.

In the middle of the night, Gu Shenwei asked everyone to get up and hurry, the camp of Daxue Mountain was likely to be under siege at this time, and he had to take the survivors out of danger before the camp was destroyed and people died.

Although she knew that the wild horse would not be fooled, she sprinkled a short-acting poison into the spring, and within three days, the spring water could kill people.

The next few days of the journey were uneventful, and the mustang, like a stubborn child, kept following behind, not far or near, but never taking action, and when someone chased him, he retreated.

Old Man Mu is getting weaker and weaker, although he still hasn't given up persuading the people in the team to let him go, but he doesn't have much strength to speak, and after five days, he can only sweep the faces of the five people with an expectant gaze, especially Shangguan Ru, that is his greatest hope.

Shangguan Ru was even more silent, she didn't say a word for several days, the five people in the team had known each other since childhood, but the other four people couldn't see the shadow of the tenth prince in her at all.

Everyone was in a hurry, and no one took it too seriously.

On the sixth day of Old Man Mu's capture, the group finally walked out of the desolate Gobi and desert, as far as the eye could see, although there was still no human population, but they could already see clusters of shrubs, struggling with the remnants of winter, struggling to grow a faint green.

On this afternoon, the sunset was still shining, and Shangguan Ru spoke for the first time in several days, saying that he was leaving the team.

"That's it, I'm leaving. ”

"Where are you going?" Gu Shenwei blurted out in surprise, he thought she also wanted to go back to Biyu City.

The bumpy path led to the northwest, but Shangguan Ru looked south, "Over there, I've been trying to look around." ”

It has been Shangguan Ru's dream since she was a child, and Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered the situation when he carried her down the mountain and sent her back to the stone castle, "I hope you ......"

"Don't forget, we are enemies. Shangguan Ru interrupted him.

"Sister, you are penniless, how far can you go, you should go back to Biyu City with me, maybe ......" Shangguan Fei still fantasized about getting his father's forgiveness, but his persuasion was half-hearted, Shangguan Ru shook his head and did not speak.

Shangguan Hong opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, and swallowed his words back.

Gu Shenwei seemed to have a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, he had nothing to say.

Shangguan Ru was riding on a horse, she had already made up her mind a few days ago, her eyes took her eyes off the dragon king's face, fell on the lotus girl, and only said one sentence, "Congratulations on getting the Wudao Divine Skill." ”

With that, gallop away.

Gu Shenwei suddenly understood.

Old Man Mu recognized that the Lotus Girl was a master of Xiaoyue Hall, and Shangguan Ru realized that everything back then was a conspiracy, and Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl used her to steal out the Wudao Divine Skill.

Huan Nu went incognito and defected to Jinpeng Castle, Shangguan Ru didn't feel that he was deceiving himself, only stealing the "Book of No Dao" was undoubtedly a betrayal.

She gave Huan Nu the only trust opportunity in her life, which was proven wrong.

Gu Shenwei knew that Shangguan Ru had misunderstood, but he did not defend himself.

"Let's go. He said that his overly cold and hard voice could not deceive anyone, and even Shangguan Hong secretly pouted and looked in the direction where Shangguan Ru had left.

"Alas. The old man Mu, who hadn't spoken much all day, sighed.

On the same night, the old man Mu, who was only one day away from recovering his strength, also disappeared magically.
