Iron Ruler Mountain, in the mysterious space.

Li Mu opened his eyes again, and the scenery outside the mountain and on the mountain that he had just seen disappeared. What appeared before his eyes was a vast stone chamber, and above this stone chamber was a huge pearl of the night, which was radiating a bright light, illuminating the completely enclosed stone chamber.

In front of him was a naturally formed stone table, and some colorful stones and precious stones were arranged in a disorderly manner. At the end of the stone table, on a tray-shaped stone platform, there is a round transparent stone bead, which flashes seven colors of white, blue, blue, purple, red, yellow, and green from time to time, which looks strange and beautiful.

Jin Chongji said lightly: "Can you see clearly?"

Li Mu nodded and looked at him with an inquiring eye.

"That transparent stone bead is the 'heart of the demon' that slowly gave birth to after this mountain demon absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, because of the influence of this stone bead, you can temporarily feel the feeling of this mountain, but not for a long time, if you are addicted to it for a long time, it is possible to merge with this mountain and become a part of him. You weren't confused by the emotions of this mountain demon just now, but you were able to have your own independent emotions, to be honest, I also think it's incredible. ”

After Jin Chongji finished speaking, he looked him up and down a few more times, and then said: "To put it bluntly, this 'Xuan Demon Heart' is the essence formed by the indigestible heaven and earth aura that this mountain demon has absorbed for countless thousands of years. And this thing has been sealed in its body for a long time, and gradually under its influence, it has a faint consciousness, and it has begun to learn to breathe and spit on its own, snatching the heaven and earth aura absorbed by this mountain demon. In the long run, if it is given time, it may not be able to become a second mountain demon, but in this way, the cultivation speed of this orthodox mountain demon will be greatly slowed down. “

"And the fate I told you is the 'Xuan Demon Heart', if you can take it away and integrate it into your body, your cultivation will be as simple as eating and drinking water. And the beauty of this demon heart, as you grow, will continue to increase, giving you great help. ”

"Since this Demon Heart has its own consciousness, is it still so easy for me to take it and use it?" Li Mu glanced at the Demon Heart again, and asked with some uncertainty.

"If you, the chosen one, couldn't take it away, then it would have become a demon and left here. What's more, it's not just Ben Long who wants you to take away this demon's heart, but this mountain demon is even more eager for you to take it away. Jin Chongji first glanced at Li Mu a little ridiculously, and then deliberately said the following paragraph loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the multicolored stones on the stone table suddenly moved, and after a while, these stones formed a humanoid shape that was ordinary high, and he slowly stood up.

It stepped down from the stone table and came to Li Mu's approach, ignoring Li Mu, but raised its head, looked at Jin Chongji floating in the air with empty eyes, and opened its mouth to communicate with Jin Chongji in words that Li Mu did not understand.

A dragon and a stone said a demon language that Li Mu couldn't understand, and he didn't know what he was communicating.

After a while, Jin Chong pointed at Li Mu, and then at Li Mu, and said something to the stone man.

Shiren walked up to Li Mu, looked him up and down carefully, and then nodded slowly at Jin Chonghe.

Jin Chong said to Li Mu first: "Don't let him discover your Yuan Lingzhu. ”

Then he spoke: "You go over there, take out a grain of heart blood, drop it on the heart of the demon, and then hold it in your hand, pick it up and stick it to your chest, close your eyes, feel the rhythm in it, and then slowly adjust your heartbeat, when the heartbeat rhythm of the two of you is the same, it means that the consciousness in this stone bead has been completely assimilated by you, and it belongs to you." ”

When Li Mu heard this, he walked to the stone bead without squinting. His right hand reached into his bosom, and his true qi shot out, and he took out a drop of blood and carefully sprinkled it on the stone bead.

The transparent stone beads rippled slightly like the surface of the water, and then his blood fell into it, slowly spreading, and soon dyed it red. At the same time, before touching it, Li Mu felt a slight rhythm in it.

He stretched out his hands and gently lifted the stone bead and pressed it tightly to his right chest.

Inside his clothes, the moment the Yuan Spirit Bead was pasted on this stone bead, a wave of heat suddenly emitted and submerged into the stone bead. Then Li Mu seemed to hear a cheer coming from the stone bead, and then the heat returned to the Yuan Spirit Bead on his chest. At the same time, inside the stone bead on his chest, a clear rhythmic sound came, blending with Li Mu's heartbeat, regardless of each other. A feeling of flesh and blood rose from Li Mu's heart, as if this demon heart had become a part of his body.

The stone man and Jin Chongji stared closely at Li Mu's every move, and when Li Mu opened his eyes and nodded at them, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the stone man walked up to Li Mu and bowed deeply to him, as if silently thanking him for his actions. Li Mu took a few steps back, missing his body, not daring to bear the worship of this ancient creature. The stone man took a red stone from his body, put it in Li Mu's hand, and said something to him.

Jin Chongji said on the side: "He is telling you that when he is free in the future, you can rely on this stone to let him do what he can for you." This stone demon is the most fearful of heaven and earth, so he attaches great importance to promises, and basically will not do anything to break his promise, you kid can be regarded as picking up a big bargain. ”

Li Mu nodded, and instead bowed solemnly to the stone man.

The stone man was silent, Jin Chongji said something to him, and after a moment he nodded.

Jin Chongji said to Li Mu: "You close your eyes, we are going out." ”

Li Mu closed his eyes as he spoke, and then he only felt his body move and fell into the void. He thought back to what he had just felt, and didn't think about anything, and gradually, the tendency of his body to fall slowed down, and slowly fell to the ground.

There was a sound of wind, and at the same time, the strange smell reached Li Mu's nose.

Li Mu opened his eyes, and at this time, where his body was located, it had become the mine tunnel of Fang Cai again. Jin Chongji's figure floated in the air, emitting golden light, illuminating the entire mine road.

In his hand, the transparent stone bead returned to its original appearance, and from time to time there was light passing through it. Only this time, Li Mu could clearly feel its existence, and faintly, he could sense that the Yuan Spirit Bead on his chest emitted a sense of longing, as if he was longing for this stone bead.

Li Mu looked at Jin Chongji and asked, "Master Jin, what should I do next, and what should I do with this stone bead?"

"Now that you already have the Heart of the Demon and the Leaf of the Yuan Devouring Grass, then the method I formulated before to use the elixir to forge a demon base for you will not be used. You don't have to look for those elixirs, go find an open and uninhabited land, I will pass on your 'Demon Transformation Technique', whether you can pass the first layer of the Demon Simulation safely depends on your creation. ”

"As for this stone bead, it will be of great use when you are mimicking demons, you put it away, and then I will teach you how to use it. After Jin Chongji finished saying this, he disappeared into the Yuan Spirit Bead on Li Mu's chest in a flash.

The cavern suddenly went dark.

Li Mu's heart moved slightly, and the stone bead in his hand suddenly emitted a bright light, illuminating the way forward for him. Li Mu walked outside against the direction the wind was blowing.

More than half an hour later, a faint light came from the entrance of the cave, and Li Mu's face was overjoyed and he quickened his pace. When he was about to walk out of this cave, he thought about it, took off his white clothes, and changed into an ordinary scholar's dress.

Then he stepped out of the mine and squinted his eyes to look out.

Halfway up the mountain, the fog slowly rose, and the morning sun showed half of its body in the distant mountains, looking at the sky, it was already the early morning of the next day. There was no day in that cave, and a night had passed.

Li Mu slowly walked down Tieqi Mountain and walked to the square where he rescued the Ma family brothers and sisters. He glanced back at the mountain and saluted it once more, as if he had said goodbye. In the storage bag around his waist, the demon heart and the red stone lay silently.

He took a step forward and slowly walked towards the north of the city, where the Ma family's mansion was.

He went to Ma's house to see the brother and sister again, and then exchanged some silver taels with them for what they needed on the road. When he came out of the sect this time, he was really in a hurry, and he forgot to bring some silver taels. When I went to Gui'an, I had to walk back to the sect, and I was thousands of miles away, and I didn't have a little silver on my body, which was really inconvenient. Although with his strength, he can get a lot of money by going to the house and robbing the house, after all, he still has some habits of scholars, and he still has some resistance in his heart to such a thing of falling into the grass as a thief.

After a cup of tea, Li Mu's figure appeared in front of Ma's house.

After more than half a day and a night, this ordinary small city has basically restored order under the rectification of the big family and the government. It's just that there are so many people who died this time that in order to prevent the plague, they were all sent to a large pit outside the city, ready to burn them all. Beside the pit, many bereaved people were weeping and keeping watch all night to keep vigil for their dead loved ones.

So Li Mu traveled all the way, all quietly, and no one appeared on the road.

There is no one who guards the door in front of the Ma family, and the two huge doors are open, and there are faint blood stains on them.

After Li Mu stopped and thought for a while, he entered it without saying a word and walked towards the depths of the Ma family's mansion.

Along the way, he listened attentively all the way, and the direction with the most dense voices should be his goal.
