"Li Mu, are you here?" At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside.

But Li Mu didn't hear it at all, Qingshan saw this and pushed him before he woke him up, and he asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is looking for you outside, it's a woman. ”

"Female?" Li Mu was puzzled, how could a woman come to me?

"Li Mu, are you there?" but the voice came again.

"Really? I'll go out and have a look. Li Mu got up and walked out after saying a word.

Not long after, to Qingshan's surprise, not only Li Mu came back, but even the woman who shouted came in with her, and Qingshan suddenly remembered when she saw the woman's face, isn't this the woman who brought her to stay in the first place, who else could it be?

After the woman entered the door, she couldn't help frowning when she smelled the wine, Qingshan hurriedly got up and took out the two jugs of wine and threw them away, and when they came back, the two were already sitting at the table waiting for them.

Qingshan looked at Li Mu suspiciously, Li Mu just shook his head, and the woman said when she saw this: "Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Nangong, and my name is Dieyi." ”

Qing Shan nodded when he heard this, and Li Mu asked, "I don't know what you are looking for me?"

Nangong Dieyi asked solemnly, "Brother Li just came back from outside, were your four fellows killed by the disciples of the inner courtyard?"

Li Mu's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and his eyes when he looked at Nangong Dieyi became extremely cold at the same time, "How do you know?"

Nangong Dieyi didn't care about Li Mu's attitude at all, but her expression began to darken, and she shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, things like yours have happened a lot in the past two years, and I also have friends who were killed by disciples in the inner court. ”

Li Mu still looked grim, and Qingshan couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Senior Sister Nangong isn't here today just for this matter, right?"

"Of course not," Nangong Dieyi suddenly changed the subject, "Huh, why do you look a little familiar, have we met?"

Hearing this, Qingshan smiled faintly and said, "In Xia Qingshan, it was the residence where Senior Sister brought me that day. ”

Nangong Dieyi only nodded when she heard this, in fact, she really couldn't remember who Qingshan was, she just felt a little familiar, after all, there were many disciples she had brought to pass. As for Qingshan's competition in the outer court, too long has passed, so long that everyone has forgotten about it.

So he continued the topic just now, "The main reason for coming here today is to invite Li Mu to join our alliance," and looked at Qingshan again, "Of course, if you are willing to join, we are also welcome." ”

Li Mu has a little reputation because he is more active in the outer courtyard, and as for Qingshan, except for a few people, no one knows him, so Nangong Dieyi's words are just casual words, her real purpose is Li Mu.

Qingshan just smiled slightly and didn't reply, while Li Mu's face looked a little better, "What is your alliance for?

Nangong Dieyi's eyes suddenly twisted, and she replied in a cold voice: "Take on the task together and resist the inner courtyard disciples together, it's as simple as that." ”

"Then how can I trust you, or your alliance?" Li Mu was disdainful, laughing, except for a few people in the sect, there are still people who can be trusted?

"I wonder if you've heard of the Blood Oath?"

Qingshan hadn't heard of it, so he didn't say anything, and Li Mu suddenly changed color when he heard this, "You have a blood oath method?"

Nangong Dieyi said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise, how can you form an alliance? How can you restrain your allies? How dare you hand over your back to outsiders?"

Li Mu had already begun to get moved, but he was still hesitating whether this blood oath was true, he was no better than Qingshan, he knew too well how difficult it was to be alone in Xuanzhu Sect.

Nangong Dieyi seemed to see his concern, so she continued: "As for whether the blood oath is true or not, you don't have to worry about this question at all, have you heard of Luo Shuyu?"

Of course Li Mu has heard that Luo Shuyu has the highest potential in the entire outer courtyard in the past twenty years, and is recognized as the strongest, not to mention, he also has an elder brother, his brother Luo Hongyu is a well-known seed disciple in the sect, this is a title that only the top ten among the true disciples can have. "Could it be that even Luo Shuyu is involved?"

Nangong Dieyi said proudly: "Not only is he involved, this alliance was initiated by him, and this blood oath was also provided by him, you should know that among the disciples of the outer court, only Luo Shuyu can get such a method." ”

"That's true. Li Mu sighed and then slapped the table, "I joined, Qingshan, what about you?"

Qingshan was still in a fog, how could he never have thought that Li Mu would suddenly pull himself into the water, but because of the affection of friends, he couldn't help but express his position, but how to express his position? He didn't know anything now. "I don't know what the blood oath you are talking about, and who is Luo Shuyu?"

Nangong Dieyi only twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and her gaze at Qingshan also carried a hint of contempt, and Qingshan turned a blind eye to it.

Li Muwei found out Nangong Dieyi's attitude towards Qingshan, and just explained to Qingshan: "The blood oath is a method, this method is very evil, if anyone makes a blood oath and does not fulfill it, then this person will be rebellious with blood all over his body, until he explodes and dies, which no one can save." ”

Qingshan was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: There is such a vicious oath in the world?

Li Mu paused for a moment and continued: "As for Luo Shuyu, he is recognized as the first disciple of the outer court, and he has an elder brother named Luo Hongyu, who is a seed disciple of the sect, ranking third among the true disciples. ”

After Li Mu's explanation, Qingshan finally understood why Li Mu was so impulsive, to be honest, there was a moment just now, even he was a little moved, but he was not another disciple, he had too many secrets, if he joined this alliance, he would follow them in the future, and the possibility of leaking secrets would be even greater.

Not to mention anything else, the Qilin Sword alone is a big drawback, if you encounter the pursuit of the disciples of the inner court in the action, you will inevitably take action under the blood oath, but how can you fight with others with your own strength? Once you are faced with a desperate situation, can you still summon the Qilin Beast Soul? If you summon it, will it cause more trouble?

Thinking of this, Qingshan shook his head resolutely, "I'm sorry, I don't want to get involved in your fight. ”

"Are you stupid?" Li Mu was in a hurry, and forgot to control his tone for a while, "Have you ever thought about how you will take on the task in the future if you don't join? How to complete the task after receiving it? Not to mention the targeting of the disciples of the inner court against the disciples of the outer court, even the other disciples of the outer court you have to guard against it, do you plan to keep practicing in the house all the time? If you don't have contribution points, you won't have good methods and magic weapons, and if you don't have these, even if you cultivate to a higher level, what's the use?"

Being reprimanded by Li Mu like this, Qingshan not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but was a little moved, but even if he was moved, it was impossible for him to join this alliance, so he still gritted his teeth and insisted on his opinion, "You don't have to say more, I have made up my mind, and my little brother can only live up to your hard work." ”

Li Mu looked at him very emotionally, "Do you really want to choose this?"

Aoyama nodded heavily.

Li Mu sighed in disappointment, the two have been friends for decades, and he still knows a lot about Qingshan's character, so it is meaningless to know how to persuade him. "Well, you can't be forced to be friends with this kind of thing. ”

"Thank you Brother Li for your understanding. ”

Nangong Dieyi has been watching coldly, and when she saw this, she looked down on Qingshan even more, in her opinion, the reason why Qingshan would refuse was that I was afraid that any excuse was fake, and it was true that she was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Li Mu saw that he couldn't persuade Qingshan, so he didn't say more, but turned his head and asked Nangong Dieyi, "I don't know how to join your alliance?"

Hearing this, Nangong Dieyi took out a note from her arms, "This is the time and place, you can come by yourself when the time comes." ”

Li Mu knew that the reason why she gave the note and didn't want to say it was because she didn't want Qingshan to know, so she could only secretly say sorry to Qingshan in her heart and put it away.

Now that the matter is over, Nangong Dieyi has no intention of staying, so she got up and said, "If there is nothing to do, the little sister will leave first." ”

"Farewell. ”

After Nangong Dieyi left, Li Mu sighed again, "Qingshan, don't you think about it anymore?"

"Brother Li, don't persuade anymore, Qingshan does have something unspeakable. ”

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh again, the two chatted for a while, Li Mu got up and said, "You rest first, I'll go back, if there is nothing to do recently, you try not to pick up the task." ”

What else could Aoyama say? He couldn't say anything at all except nodding his head.

Wouldn't it be impossible to leave the mountain gate, and he was unwilling to take on some chores, which he was unwilling to do anyway, not to mention, staying in the sect all day, it would be impossible for him to increase his combat experience through training.

So, not long after Li Mu left, Xiao Wu cleaned up a little and closed the door and went out, this time he took on the longest task, but it was no longer to collect the Earth Demon Beast Beast Pill, but to collect herbs, and the disciple in charge of registration directly threw him a copy of the herbal medicine atlas, which was full of hundreds of kinds.

And this time the contribution value is pitifully low, only a thousand, the reason why he will take this task, one is that the time limit is one year, the second is to look for it in the Thousand Camel Mountains, the danger is relatively low, the third is that the mountains are full of demon beasts, he is not worried that there will be no fight, the fourth point, is the most important point, that is, he needs herbs to refine the body, if there is any left, he can also take it outside to sell, it can be said that it is more than one stone.

After leaving the mountain gate, Qingshan immediately set up a sword to bypass the Xuanzhu Sect, and only then did he get into the Thousand Camel Mountain Range until he couldn't see anyone anymore.

For him in the past, it was still relatively dangerous to go into the mountain alone, but now he has learned to float in the dust, and when he encounters danger, he just needs to be invisible.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, Qingshan had been in the mountain for more than two months, because he went to some places where there were almost no people, so the collection of herbs was very smooth, not only the sect needed to find eighty percent, but also the herbs needed for various body refining were also collected, which was something worth celebrating.

However, how could it always be so smooth sailing in such a mountain forest? It was good not to meet anyone, but he gradually discovered that many of the herbs to be collected by the sect were guarded by some powerful demon beasts, and if he wanted to get them, he had to lure the demon beasts away or kill them.

It was obviously impossible for him to kill those demon beasts with his own strength, but if he released the Qilin Beast Soul, he was afraid that it would cause too much movement at that time, so as to attract more demon beasts or monks he least wanted to encounter.

In desperation, he had to take a detour, but after three months in a row, he got a lot of other herbs, but there are still twenty percent of the herbs that have not been collected until now, the reason is the same as what he saw before, there are powerful demon beasts near these herbs.
