Chapter 40 The only Achilles heel
Chapter 40 The only Achilles heel
"You guys know each other?" Chu Xiaoye couldn't help asking.
"Well, Ye'er, this is my master." Mu Yuntian sat down cross-legged, with a calm tone.
"The legendary master of extreme cold swordsmanship?" Chu Xiaoye was surprised. He heard Zhu Fei and the others say that Li Gou founded the Starscar Palace more than 50 years ago, and he thought that Li Gou should be an old man in his 80s and [-]s." How can you be so young?"
Li Gou was obviously pleased by Chu Xiaoye's question, and leaned in front of Chu Xiaoye to observe him carefully.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the big face less than an inch away from the tip of her nose with cross-eyed eyes, and felt that the skin did not look like she was in her 70s.
"This is Chu's baby boy, right? Has he grown so big?" After observing carefully, Li Gou stretched out two fingers and tried to pinch Chu Xiaoye's cheek, but Mu Yuntian calmly blocked it.
"Uh, hello, senior, I'm Chu Ye." Chu Xiaoye was jittery, and this kind of self-introduction seemed awkward no matter how you thought about it.
"Yeah." Li Gou retracted the blocked finger, smacked his face twice, and said thoughtfully, "The little baby looks tender, and it's not like the old man Zixiao said. ..."
Zixiao?Enlighten Tianjun Zixiao?Zixiao who has clues to bind the talisman?
Chu Xiaoye's appetite was suddenly whetted, and she hurriedly asked, "What does Tianjun say about me?"
Li Gou glanced at him, waved his hands and said: "What kind of mess is the fate of the emperor, it must be nonsense, it can't be counted."
emperor!king!Life!grid! ?
Chu Xiaoye's eyes sparkled in an instant, and it sounded very hanging.
Chu Xiaoye couldn't help grinning when she thought that she would be in charge of the world in the future, with prosperity and prosperity, Sangong Sixth Courtyard, beautiful wife and beautiful concubine.
"You! You, you, you!" Li Gou had already moved to Mu Yuntian's side, pointed at his nose and continued to get angry, his beard was blown up, "I sent the letter in the morning! Why are you here now!"
"Wangshui County is more than half a day's journey away from here, so I naturally only come now." Mu Yuntian stood with his hands behind his back, with no shame on his face.
"Wait..." Chu Xiaoye woke up startled, "Is it you, senior, who delivered the letter in the morning?"
"Of course it's me!" Li Gou blew his beard.
"So you already knew that your master wanted you to come?" Chu Xiaoye turned to ask Mu Yuntian.
Mu Yuntian took out the note he received in the morning from his sleeve, and said slowly: "Except for my master, there should be no other person in this world who can write such ugly characters."
Chu Xiaoye glanced at it, and thought that I could write something uglier, but obviously this is nothing to be proud of.
"Then why is Zhongen here?" Chu Xiaoye subconsciously ignored the fact that Mu Yuntian knew the truth and kept it from him.
"How did you deliver the letter to Zou's bank?" Mu Yuntian raised an eyebrow and asked Li Gou.
"Hmph, I arrived in Wangshui County early in the morning, thinking how shameful I would be to find you myself, so I found a guy on the street and told him to send him to the Zou Mansion." Li Gou stretched out five fingers and said proudly, "It only took you Five taels of silver!"
Chu Xiaoye: "..."
Sending someone to run an errand to deliver a letter will cost up to fifty copper coins, okay?
But since Li Gou said so, the two of them understood.This letter is just a note, not even an envelope, not to mention that it is Wen Tai's eyeliner who has been staring at Zou's bank, even a passer-by can probably inquire about the content of the letter casually.
"Do you think...Chong En and Wen Tai are in the same group? Could it be him who did what happened to my brother?" Chu Xiaoye rubbed his chin.
"Isn't it? There will be an answer soon." Mu Yuntian pointed to a place underground, and Chu Xiaoye took a closer look, and it turned out to be a lotus flower flying knife that almost sank into the ground.
"Wen Ningning? She's here too?" Chu Xiaoye was puzzled, if she also came, then just let them be beaten by Chong En?
Thinking about it this way doesn't feel very reliable.
"Well," Mu Yuntian nodded, "I arrived when I cut off Chongen's left hand. If Master hadn't pushed him away just now, the Lianhua Flying Knife would have pierced Chongen's death point."
After Mu Yuntian finished speaking, he glanced at Li Gou, but Li Gou pretended to play with his beard and didn't hear it.
"What about her?" Chu Xiaoye looked around for Wen Ningning.
"I just left chasing Chong En," Mu Yuntian looked away, "If Wen Ningning really wants to help us, then we just need to wait for her news."
"What if she doesn't help..." Chu Xiaoye said helplessly.
"Ye'er asked her to help, and she couldn't help." Mu Yuntian remained calm.
Chu Xiaoye has gotten used to this person's inexplicable certainty, because Mu Yuntian has made several backhanded moves without his knowledge several times.
"I said... have you two chatted enough, boy, you don't want to heal your injury anymore?" Li Gou obviously didn't want to be alone.
"Then I will thank Master." Mu Yuntian jumped off the boulder with Chu Xiaoye.
At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and it would take until the next morning to rush back to Zou Mansion, so Li Gou led the two of them to a cave far away from Feipu Cliff, first to help Mu Yuntian heal his injuries.
The stone cave is not big, it can only accommodate three people and barely lie down.So Chu Xiaoye shrank obediently at the entrance of the cave, trying not to disturb Li Gou's healing.
Seeing Mu Yuntian spit out blood, Chu Xiaoye frowned more and more.
He let out a long sigh. Before he came out, he thought that this trip would not be easy, but he never expected that this person's old wounds would not heal and he would add new wounds.Counting the previous time in the desert, Mu Yuntian had been injured three times in less than a month.
Chu Xiaoye felt more and more that she should practice the power of the soul earlier, but she thought about Yuehen's words in her heart, and she didn't dare to act rashly, so she was caught in a dilemma.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying with the expectations of the people he cares about.What's more, so many people have already paid so much for the talisman he was looking for, if he gave up lightly, he might disappoint many people.
His head was buzzing, the veins on his forehead were throbbing with pain, and the side effects of binding the talisman became particularly obvious in the middle of the night.
Chu Xiaoye took out the medicine bottle and shook it, there was about half of it left.
When will this kind of life-threatening day and night be the end.
Chu Xiaoye was thinking about something on her mind, while Li Gou had already helped Mu Yuntian straighten out the spiritual power in his body, and Mu Yuntian was practicing with his eyes closed.
Li Gou sat down next to Chu Xiaoye, took out a few paper bags and handed them to him.
Chu Xiaoye opened it and saw that they were all braised vegetables that go with wine.But at this time, he was really hungry and flustered. After thanking him, he left most of it for Mu Yuntian, and then he ate slowly.
"Senior, you put the wine utensils under the cliff?" Chu Xiaoye had nothing to talk to.
"Well, I wanted this kid to accompany me to drink, but I didn't expect to wait for a day, so I went to a nearby town to buy food and drink. I never thought that when I came back, I would see that immortal old bug with a knife Put it on your neck, hmph, my stupid apprentice is really useless." Li Gou looked at Chu Xiaoye with a very loving gaze, which made Chu Xiaoye feel warm in his heart.
"Senior, who is Chong En?" Chu Xiaoye handed Li Gou a chicken paw, and Li Gou clapped his hands to take it and gnawed on it.
"Hey..." Li Gou shook his head, "It's all about the older generation."
"This kid's mother is also arrogant. When he was young, he recklessly offended many people in the arena. But ah, Chongli really deserves to be killed. If you say he made alchemy, he made alchemy. Why should he kill innocent people?" The common people are offering elixir." Li Gou shook his head, spat out a handful of chicken bones, and said, "Young people, the most fearful thing is that your obsession is too deep."
"Since it's wrong to be separated, why is this great kindness so obsessed with it?" Chu Xiaoye sighed, when is the time to repay the injustice.
"Hmph," Li Gou blew his beard disdainfully, "Back when Chong left Tucheng, Chong En was a big boss, and even helped that demon to do evil together. It's a pity that Ling Shuang didn't kill him back then. I didn't expect to hide like this After many years, he still dared to come out."
While listening, Chu Xiaoye imagined what Mu Yuntian's mother, Mu Lingshuang, would look like.
The moonlight shone on Mu Yuntian's face, which was concentrating on regulating his spiritual power, and outlined half of the shadow, making his already handsome facial features even more heroic.Presumably, only such a heroic heroine can give birth to such a person.
Seeing that Chu Xiaoye was staring at his apprentice in a daze, Li Gou raised the corners of his mouth while brushing his beard.
The fate of the emperor just now was completely what he said casually.Enlightenment of Tianjun's real fate, what he said is that the second young master of the Chu family is Mu Yuntian's only fatal flaw.
Li Gou has been proficient in swordsmanship all his life, and he has never understood the meaning of the nagging Zixiao Tianjun.I also chased after Zixiao and asked many times, how can one person be the death spot of another person?It's a pity that the enlightened heavenly king will always laugh and not answer.
But at this moment, looking at Chu Xiaoye who was staring at Mu Yuntian in front of him, Li Gou felt that he understood Zixiao a bit.
"Senior." Chu Xiaoye silently withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me about Mu Yuntian?"
"This kid has something worth talking about. He has followed me since he was a child, and he has never done anything important except practice martial arts." Li Gou waved his hands, seemingly disdainful.
"It's not a big deal to cultivate to this level at such a young age?" Chu Xiaoye tilted her head and looked at Li Gou's expression.
In Luowen Continent, a place that advocates the power of the soul, but there is a shortage of masters of the Golden Duan, no matter how you think about it, you can know what the status of the 23-year-old Jin Duan is in the world.
"Hmph, what a big deal this is," Li Gou turned his head away, "Zixiao's apprentice can become a Buddha jumping over the wall at the age of 12! Feng Shengyu's son can also cook roasted whole lamb at the age of 16! He even has a rolling pin to this day!" I won't take it!"
Chu Xiaoye: "..."
So what kind of existence is the Miracle Islands?
Could it be that the "god" of the miracle is actually the "god" of the chef.
And Chu Xiaoye finally understood where the unreliable temperament of the people in the Starscar Palace came from, and the co-authorship was inherited from the master.
Yes, there is no blood inheritance, or at least one generation.
"By the way, have seniors seen the power of Zhongen's soul?" Chu Xiaoye couldn't help frowning when thinking of the strange and pungent smell of blood, "How can someone's soul be so turbid?"
"Hmph." Li Gou snorted again.
Chu Xiaoye had already calmed down, anyway, the tall people she met were all arrogant, and it was common for her to grumble.
"Chongen probably took the old road of Chongli. Anyway, evil alchemists like them are lunatics. They use pills to catalyze their own spiritual power regardless of the consequences. As long as they are of the same level, they will die. In fact, the spiritual power generated by this method , Not only is it not as powerful as An Anwen's cultivation, but it will also bite yourself when you use it. Kid, have you seen that Chongen's face, it was torn apart by the backlash, exactly the same as Chongli back then." Li Gou shook his head with his tut.
Chu Xiaoye felt that the emotions in Li Gou's soul seemed to be both disdainful and regretful.It's like the elders are sorry for the younger generation who are unable to teach after going astray.
"Then, where's the golden elixir?" Chu Xiaoye frowned, not noticing whether Chong En had taken the golden elixir just now.If this kind of open-type equipment is still on him, this person is simply a ticking time bomb, no, like a ticking atomic bomb.
Li Gou was stunned for a while, holding the chicken paw in his mouth and didn't speak for a long time, his eyes wandered to the moon that could be seen faintly at the entrance of the cave.
Just when Chu Xiaoye was about to fall asleep, Li Gou spoke again.
"That's... a Yuandan left by an old man. I'll take care of it, so you don't have to worry too much."
Chu Xiaoye propped up her heavy eyelids, just nodded and fell asleep.
