After the three of them finished eating, Li Mu asked, "Does Uncle He know Mo Yun?"

He Qiu frowned, then nodded, but did not speak.

Li Mu told Mo Yun's exaggerated actions and slanderous words against He Qiu.

He Qiu waved his hand and said, "This matter is irrelevant, Senior Nephew Li doesn't need to investigate it deeply." ”

Li Mu was silent, what kind of conflict did He Qiu have with this Mo Yun when he was in the door, so that he could slander him so much? Moreover, that Mo Yun was only in the late stage of the transformation of the mortal, but He Qiu had already built the foundation, when did a fan stage dare to look down on the foundation building period? This matter is quite strange.

Li Mu suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked: "This senior nephew Guo wants to return to the sect, but his woman's body is afraid of accidents on a journey of thousands of miles, I wonder if my uncle can help?"

"Won't Senior Nephew Li go back to the sect with her?"

Li Mu's face showed a little sadness: "The disciple wants to return to his hometown to set up a tomb for his parents and relatives to pay tribute to them." ”

He Qiu said: "In that case, this Guo ...... The girl will stay here and return to the sect with me at the end of this month. ”

Li Mu was shocked: "Uncle He is going back to the sect?" Of course, he wouldn't think that He Qiu had deliberately returned to the Xuanming Sect for Guo Hongming.

He Qiu nodded and said, "My garrison period has arrived, and I have to return to the sect to concentrate on cultivation, and there are some things in the sect that I need to take care of." ”

Li Mu's face showed a faint look of joy, after all, He Qiu was a high-ranking disciple in the foundation building period, and with him in the door, he could be regarded as having someone to ask, he heard the words and said: "Then there will be Uncle Lao He, when I return to the door, I will come to see Uncle again." ”

He Qiu knew his thoughts, but he didn't mind, Li Mu could be said to be recommended by him to join the Xuanming Sect, and he had no foundation in the sect, so it was reasonable to want to rely on him. Besides, Li Mu is so qualified, it is difficult to say who will rely on whom in the future, at this time, give him more support, who knows that he will not support himself in the future?

Thinking of this, He Qiu couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "What is Senior Nephew Li's spiritual root qualifications? Heavenly Spirit Root or Alien Spirit Root?"

Guo Hongming's face showed a strange look, and Li Mu also smiled bitterly: "The disciple only has a three-color inferior spirit root, where is there any heavenly spirit root!"

He Qiu's face changed, and then he was puzzled: "How can the three-color spiritual root have such a fast cultivation speed, could it be that Senior Nephew Li has another chance?" After asking this, He Qiu knew that he was speechless, how could the opportunity of a cultivator be clear to others, he smiled slightly apologetically at Li Mu and said, "It's me Meng Lang." “

Li Mu shook his head to say that it was okay, and then He Qiu said: "It's just that Senior Nephew Li, you have an average spiritual root, but you have cultivated so fast, I am afraid that you will be calculated by someone with a heart, so I have to guard against this." ”

"Uncle He, rest assured, after this martial arts, the disciple has also understood some truths, and he will make preparations as soon as he rushes back to the door - and if those people want to harm me, they won't do anything in the door. ”

When Li Mu said this, He Qiu showed a look of injustice on his face, and sneered: "With the constraints of the door rules, those villains with intentions don't dare to do anything in the door, but once you leave the sect, you have to be cautious." ”

Li Mu nodded yes and continued: "The disciple is pressed for time, and he wants to say goodbye to Uncle He tomorrow, but he doesn't know the way back to the sect yet, can Uncle teach me?"

He Qiu didn't allow it, and casually took out a jade tube from the storage bag and handed it to him.

Li Mu put away the jade tube, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked with some confusion: "Has Uncle He seen that corpse puppet before?"

He Qiu said lightly: "Senior nephew Li doesn't have to worry about this, go and do your business with peace of mind, I will settle this matter for you." ”

Li Mu was curious, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions at this time, so he and Guo Hongming bid farewell to He Qiu and rushed to the guest room to rest under the leadership of the maid.

Walking on the road, Li Mu said to Guo Hongming: "Since this matter has been decided, Senior Nephew Guo will stay here and wait for Uncle He, and besides, it is best not to go out these days, it will not be good to meet that person again." ”

Guo Hongming nodded yes, and the separation was imminent, and for some reason, a complicated emotion rose in her heart - although the two had only been together for a few days, they had already established a deep friendship.

Guo Hongming said: "Uncle Li is careful here, don't put yourself in danger, Hongming is waiting for Uncle Li's return on the second floor of Xuanxiao Peak, and Uncle Li will call me Senior Sister when the time comes." ”

Li Mu didn't know what she relied on, and he was sure that he could become an official disciple, but he didn't ask much, just blessed: "Then I will congratulate Master Guo's nephew Huafan on his success, farewell for the time being, and see you again." ”

Guo Hongming said: "Goodbye." The tone was solemn, but there was no little daughter's attitude.

Li Mu smiled freely, separated from her, and walked towards their own residences.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Li Mu did not alarm anyone and left here alone.

Before dawn, Ye Du had already begun to be lively. He Qiu's mansion was next to the imperial city, and it could be seen that in front of the huge palace gate of the imperial city, there were already many officials standing scattered waiting to enter the palace early dynasty.

Once upon a time, Li Mu also dreamed of becoming one of them, and now when he thinks of what happened when he was studying, it is really like a dream.

Li Mu took two horses from He Qiu's stable at random and rode on the road alone.

It is forbidden to ride horses in Yedu, but how can this order restrain a cultivator like Li Mu.

He jumped out of He Qiu's mansion on his horse, but he frightened those officials into confusion for a while, looking at his galloping figure and pointing.

The streets of Yedu are extremely wide, Li Mu rode a horse with a horse, it didn't look cramped at all, he only took a tea time to walk to the city gate, at this time there were already many people outside the city who wanted to enter the city in line. The general who was on duty on the city wall saw a horse galloping from the city, and thought that something big had happened, so he ordered Li Mu to stop on the city wall.

Li Mu rushed out on his horse without stopping, and the general ordered to shoot arrows, but Li Mu didn't care at all, and still galloped out of the city.

Dozens of feather arrows shot at Li Mu's side, and even the horse under his crotch couldn't hurt it, so it was swept away by the invisible true qi around Li Mu's body.

Seeing Li Mu's figure gradually moving away, the general was so annoyed.

......

Li Mu kept all the way, like an arrow, but in order to save horsepower, he stopped halfway to feed them some food. After a few days of such a rapid journey, his hometown finally loomed in sight.

It's not just faintly visible, but it can be seen very clearly.

Li Mu parked his horse on a small hillside and looked at the bottomless pit not far away, which was hundreds of miles in circumference and hundreds of feet deep.

And that place used to be where his hometown was.

He, Li Mu, really became a helpless, homeless rootless duckweed.

Li Mu jumped off his horse and ran towards the huge pit like crazy. Regarding the appearance of this pit, the official explanation given by Daqi is that meteorites fall from the sky once in 10,000 years, which is to appease the people. The common people believed it to be true, but they all thought that this was a sign of heaven's damnation, and gradually spontaneously built many incense temples around this big pit, praying for God's forgiveness.

Li Mu had seen these temples on the mountain before, and when he ran closer, he found that these temples were large or small, but they were all empty, and no one managed or offered incense here.

It was a strange thing, but he was agitated and didn't care for a while.

The closer he got to this big pit, the more Li Mu felt that his steps were heavy, this dark abyss swallowed all his family and hopes, and now when he arrived, he seemed to be opening his mouth wide, wanting to swallow him too.

But he was not reconciled, and despite the bursts of warnings from the Yuan Lingzhu in his chest, he still walked towards the pit with firm steps.

Standing on the edge of this deep pit, Li Mu took a deep breath. He couldn't tell what he was feeling, angry, frightened, confused, sad...... All kinds of emotions, and so on. All Li Mu's negative emotions seemed to be mobilized, wanting to devour all his entire reason.

The green tendons on Li Mu's face bloomed at all roots, his eyes were red, and he was panting for breath in his mouth, which was extremely terrifying.

There was always a voice in his heart calling to him, to go down, to reunite with his parents below, to see what was in the darkness below.

It's just that he has experienced the illusion of the Xuanming Sect's Heart Bridge, how can he be easily fascinated by it. Although he knew that under this deep pit, there must be clues to Gui'an's unprovoked fall, but now he would not easily risk his life.

This pit must be lowered, and the reasons for the disappearance of Gui'an must also be investigated, and the revenge of parents and relatives must be avenged, but it is by no means now. It was a wise choice to do what he could, and Li Mu did not rashly stick his head out to look at the situation in the pit, because that would most likely bring unknowable danger.

He forcibly restrained the grief and fear in his heart, slowly took a few steps back, knelt down directly as soon as his knees were weak, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Father, mother, the child will definitely return here in the future, find out the cause of your death, and avenge your hatred!"

After Li Mu kowtowed a few times to the deep pit from which no one responded, he stood up and left this place without any nostalgia.

Behind him, the sound of the wind swelled in the bottomless pit, which seemed to roar unwillingly.

Li Mu turned over and got on his horse, and after finding a place where he thought he had good feng shui, he dismounted and dug directly with his hands, wanting to build a clothed mound for his parents to express his sorrows.

After his body was transformed by the power of the Yuan Demon, it had become harder than ordinary steel, and digging the soil with his bare hands could not cause him any harm at all.

His hands were like steel, and it didn't take long to dig a pit as deep as he could, leaving him with nothing left by his parents to bury. But since he is the son of man, and his whole body belongs to his parents, why should he look for anything else?

Li Mu used his true qi to cut off a bundle of hair, replaced his parents' clothes, and threw it into the grave, and then dug up the soil to fill the tomb.

He carved out a neat stone tablet and engraved the names of his parents with his fingers, and set them up in front of this tomb.

At the moment when this tombstone was erected, Li Mu's mood was extremely complicated, but he didn't know where to start. If the mourning is exhausted, will it become a heart of stone? In front of the grave of his parents, Li Mu kowtowed a few more times, then rode a horse on the side and walked away.

He never looked back, but when he was able to find out about it, he would come back and find out!
