Chapter 9 Cocooning Yourself
Several people finished refining the Songhua Jade one after another, and then Li Mo said: "Please come and test the ability of the Five Flavor Stone yourself, you only need to lightly attach the stone to the palm of your hand."
Then, a few patriarchs came out and put the stone in the hands of the few young disciples who had been refining the pill just now as Li Mo said.
Suddenly, everyone saw that wisps of breath attached to the young man's body were inhaled into the five-flavor stone, and at the same time, a foul smell emanated from the stone.
"It's ......"
Mu Ba's face sank when he saw it, and he subconsciously glanced back.
Li Mo had already seen his expression in his eyes, and as soon as he followed his eyes at this time, he saw a man with a sallow face behind Mu Hengshui.
"Oh, this five-flavor stone is really a strange thing, and it actually has such a wonderful use, but I am afraid that it will take a long time before this thing can be used again. ”
Mu Zhen said.
Li Mo replied with a smile: "It takes half a month to purify the five flavor stones once they are used, and it is true that the number in my hand is not much, only about thirty pieces." ”
As soon as he said this, Mu Ba and the others suddenly looked happy.
As soon as this smile rose, he heard Li Mo say: "The five-flavor stone is not enough to test everyone, so I thought it would be better to use these stones to test the people of the Shenmu tribe." ”
"Nonsense, how dare you doubt the people of our tribe?"
Mu Ba was taken aback and said directly.
The yellow-faced man in the crowd changed his face suddenly, and he subconsciously moved his position to be blocked by the people in front of him.
Li Mo saw it in his eyes and said with a faint smile: "Does Patriarch Mu know the direction of the wind last night?"
"The direction of the wind?"
Mu Ba frowned, but his heart was beating wildly.
Ever since the young man appeared, things had gone completely off the beaten track, and now every word he said was enough to make people panic, even the patriarch of the three major tribes.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Mu Hengshui couldn't hold back his doubts.
Li Mo took his hand and said with a smile: "Last night it was the northeast wind, with the topography of the Blue Tail Slope, the northeast highland is narrow and flat, and the terrain is not very high, just slightly higher than the slope, and more importantly, it is very close to the slope. I think that with the wisdom of the young patriarch of Ki, if it is an enemy, he will definitely be extremely vigilant when he appears there, but if it is someone who knows him and has a very good relationship, maybe it will be different. ”
Everyone in Lanweipo is familiar with it, and when they heard Li Mo say this, they felt that it was really the case.
As soon as he finished saying this, the faces of Mu Ba and the others changed again.
"Good!"
In the crowd, Shayi clenched his fists.
"What a powerful little brother Li, this time I want to let Mu Ba eat the consequences!" Sha Ju also became excited.
What Li Mo has to do is not only to clear his suspicion, but also to give the people of the Shenmu tribe a bad loss.
"Last night's wind direction was indeed northeasterly, and Li Xiaodi's inference is reasonable. If Mu Shangxing was killed by people from other tribes, he should be held accountable, but if it was actually done by his own tribe, then this matter should be investigated and revealed! The Shenmu tribe will definitely not tolerate such a traitor!"
Mu Zhen said in a deep voice.
"This ......"
Mu Ba's face turned pale when he heard this, what Li Mo said was logical and clear, the evidence was sufficient, and the spearhead was indeed pointed at someone Mu Shangxing knew and even trusted, so the object of suspicion was of course the clansmen who bore the brunt.
At this time, if you try to refute it, it will make people suspect that there may be a deeper inside story.
At this time, Li Mo muttered on the side: "Perhaps, someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the sacrificial conference to kill the Mu Shao Patriarch, so that most people will not suspect the people of the Shenmu tribe, but on other tribes, this trick is really clever." ”
Looking at his leisurely appearance, Mu Ba scolded him half to death, but he couldn't think of a reason to shirk this matter, not to mention that even Mu Zhen recognized Li Mo's inference.
At this moment, he immediately looked at Yue Kui and Youxu, hoping that the two could help talk.
However, the two who had already seen the defeat of Mu Ba would wade into this muddy water again, and they all pretended to close their eyes and recuperate, with an attitude of not caring about themselves.
Mu Ba gritted his teeth angrily, but at this moment, he couldn't show the slightest vision.
At this time, Li Mo grabbed a large handful of five-flavor stones, handed them to Mu Ba, and said earnestly: "I hope that Patriarch Mu can catch the murderer of your son with his own hands." ”
The corners of Mu Ba's mouth twitched vigorously, and he grabbed the five flavor stones in his hands and glared at him fiercely.
Li Mo's laughter, Mu Ba's anger, and everyone in the Sangchi tribe saw it clearly, and at the same time secretly praised it.
Then, Mu Ba turned around and said in a deep voice, "You guys walked up to me one by one. ”
Mu Hengshui walked over since he was the first, and there was nothing abnormal about putting the five flavor stones on it.
Then came the others, and soon they were on the yellow face.
Although Lahuang's face had moved his steps before and blocked his face, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at him now, and the slight movement proved his suspicion.
Mu Ba glanced at him, and his yellow face suddenly realized, thinking that Mu Ba had a way to stop the five flavor stones from absorbing the smell, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the five flavor stones.
As soon as the five-flavor stone arrived in his hand, a wisp of breath suddenly appeared on his body, and as soon as he was inhaled into the stone, a foul smell emitted a burst.
"You killed the man!
Mu Ba was furious, and slammed his palm towards Lahuang's face.
This happened too quickly, and it was only at this time that Lahuang Face realized that Mu Ba had moved to kill.
Mu Ba's palm was fast, but Li Mo had already prepared, with two fingers and a hook, Lahuang's face suddenly seemed to be pushed by someone, and he staggered forward and fell out, avoiding this palm.
Seeing that one palm was not split, Mu Ba's face changed, and he immediately turned around and split it with another palm.
Li Mo's two fingers were slightly drawn, and his yellow face seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, rolling forward.
Then he flashed, landed in front of Lahuang Face, and said with a slight smile: "Patriarch Mu, don't be impulsive, maybe this person is just a chess piece, and there is a real murderer behind the scenes, if you kill him, you won't be able to find out the truth behind this matter." ”
"You ......"
Mu Ba trembled with anger, his face turned green, and he really wanted to devour Li Mosheng alive.
I wonder when he, as the patriarch of the Shenmu tribe, has ever been so embarrassed.
The trap that was originally perfectly designed has become out of control because of this young man who doesn't know where he came from.
He dared to ignore himself and save people, which made things more dangerous.
It's just that in this situation, it is definitely not the time to do it in front of everyone's eyes.
"Okay, what a guy surnamed Li, thank you so much for thinking about the old man!"
Mu Ba gritted his teeth and said, then glared at Lahuang's face fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Mu Yan, you did it alone!"
He glared angrily, with a vicious murderous intent in his eyes.
On the other side, Mu Hengshui gently swiped his fingers across his neck, with a clear hint in his eyes.
Lahuang Face's lips trembled, he knew very well that if he answered no, his family would face unpredictable consequences, and only by sacrificing himself could he save his family.
At this time, he heard Li Mo say: "Patriarch Mu, you can't find out the truth if you ask like this. ”
"This is our tribe's business, it's my son who died, how can I ask and I don't need you to interfere!" Mu Ba stretched out his hand, pointed at his nose and scolded angrily.
Seeing Mu Ba's extremely corrupt appearance, Li Mo's smile became even stronger, he raised his hand slightly, and raised two fingers to remove Mu Ba's fingers, and said with a deep smile: "Of course, Patriarch Mu can't take my turn as a junior to teach, but ......"
He arched his hand towards Mu Zhenyi and said, "Clan Elder, the death of the Mu Shao Patriarch is not only a matter of the Shenmu Tribe, but also someone is provoking the authority of the alliance leader and the clan elders, and it is also a great disrespect to the ancestors, otherwise how dare he commit such a evil deed during the sacrificial meeting? The old man of the Mu clan is sad about the loss of his beloved son, and his mood can be understood, but it can be seen from the sudden action just now that he has lost his mind a little, and if he does something reckless after a while, wouldn't it make the Mu Shao patriarch hate Jiuquan. ”
Hearing Li Mo's earnest words, the people of all the tribes bowed their heads one after another, thinking that although this young man was not a member of the alliance, he was more concerned about the reputation of the alliance than the people of the alliance.
Only Sha Yi and the others looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
It was Li Mo who killed people, but he was able to talk freely here, looking like he was looking for the real murderer for Mu Shangxing, if Mu Ba knew the truth, he was afraid that he would spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Mu Zhen also brushed his long beard and said, "Little brother is young, although he is not from my clan, and he was almost wronged, but he can be so righteous and awe-inspiring, which is really deeply admired by the old man." Patriarch Mu, this matter should be interrogated by the old man. ”
Mu Ba crushed his teeth fiercely, and his heart ached with anger, but as soon as Li Mo brought the clan elder out like this and magnified the situation so much, how could he openly contradict the clan elder.
At this time, Li Mo said: "Mu Yan, this is your only chance, if you can confess what you have done, then you have your own clan elders to be your masters, and our thirty-three tribe chiefs are your own masters." ”
Mu Yan lowered his head, his eyes flickering, weighing the pros and cons.
When Li Mo said this, he didn't say any more.
Mu Yan's choice is nothing more than two, either he bears the murder himself, or he proves that he was instructed by Mu Ba.
How he chooses depends on Mu Yan's own thoughts, which is no longer something that Li Mo can control.
For Li Mo, being able to guide things to this point is already the limit, and for Mu Yan, if he doesn't have evidence in his hand that can point to Mu Ba, there is no way.
Inside and outside the hall, the people of all the tribes were talking in a whisper, and the people who knew the inside story of the Shenmu tribe were also worried, worried that Mu Yan would bite back.
On the contrary, the people of the Sangchi tribe, who had been sitting on pins and needles before, had already breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, it was a good decision to bring Li Mo to the sacrificial conference.
After a while, Mu Yan suddenly raised his head and said to Mu Zhen, "The clan elder can grant me a request. ”
"What request?" asked Mu Zhen.
"If the younger generation can confess what he has done, then it can be regarded as atonement, and I ask the clan elder to move my family to Sunset City, so that they can accept the protection of the clan elder. ”
Mu Yan said.
"Okay, old man promises you. As long as you confess this matter, your family will be protected by the elders of your clan, and no one in this life will be harassed because of what happened to Mu Shangxing. ”
Mu Zhen said in a deep voice.
