Chapter 825: Captured
Dugu Jiu also glanced at him, came to Li Mu and helped him up, and said, "Brother, what should we do now?"
"Let your brothers find out how many people are on this mountain and find a way to send the news to Mr. Tang."
Dugu Jiu nodded: "Okay, then you--"
"I'm safe for the time being before he sees me through now." Li Mu patted the rainy pear blossom needle on his chest and said, "With this thing, he can't hurt me!"
Dugu Jiu had seen the power of the rainy pear blossom needle and knew that Li Mu was right, so he nodded and said, "Then take care of yourself, I will come to you later."
After saying that, Dugu Jiu gave a wink. The people he brought were all outstanding secret guards and outstanding masters. Everyone is not weak. There are also powerful weapons like crossbows to defend themselves. As long as they are not exposed, there will definitely be no problem in protecting themselves.
Everyone dispersed, Li Mu looked at the direction where Cui Yuzheng disappeared, hesitated for a while, and did not go over. At this moment, a black and white figure with "fat head and big ears" appeared in his eyes, running along the road with a grunt, and behind it was a girl, which was Zhenyu. How could these two guys get together? Li Mu was puzzled and followed quietly.
...
It is very common for people in brown clothes to be in Lingshe Mountain. Li Mu walked around casually, and no one cared about him. The saint was about to have a child, and everyone was busy with this matter and had no time to care about it. Even if someone saw Li Mu, he would only think that he was the person who was ordered to guard and would not pay too much attention.
Li Mu followed each other and a panda to the back door of a small courtyard, and looked at the two guys from afar, and was stopped by two women dressed in holy envoys. The two seemed to have asked Zhenyu something, and then Pangda was allowed to enter the small courtyard, while Zhenyu was stopped outside. Li Mu was not surprised at all. Wang Ou was about to give birth. As an outsider, Zhenyu, as an outsider, hadn't been sent to the holy beast back to the mountain, she would not have been allowed to enter.
Li Mu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly came behind Zhenyu and put his hand on her shoulder: "Hey, who is it?"
Zhenyu was startled and turned around quickly, saw Li Mu's brown clothes, was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "Sir, I am Guwa's daughter, here to deliver medicine to the saint."
Guva?
Li Mu didn't understand what these two words mean, it was Miao language or a person's name? But since it was related to medicine, it should be a doctor or something. Seeing that she couldn't recognize him, Li Mu felt relieved. If he was recognized, he would not guarantee that Zhenyu would not let it go.
"What medicine, come and see me."
"No." Zhenyu grabbed the small bag on her waist tightly, shook her head and refused, "I have to hand it over to the saint myself."
"The saint is giving birth to a baby now. You can't go in, I can help you bring it in."
"Hmm?" Zhenyu glanced at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "You can't go in with a saint, right? Why do you help me?" The more you think about it, the more you feel that Li Mu has a problem. Zhenyu frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
This sentence was said in Miao language, and Li Mu was stunned for a moment. He was not a Miao person, so of course he couldn't speak and couldn't understand it.
Seeing that he looked confused, Zhenyu took a step back and left Li Mu's arm and shouted. Li Mu quickly rushed over and covered her mouth. The little girl was also cruel enough. Seeing that she could not break free from Li Mu, she opened her mouth and let it go. Li Mu was so painful that her whole face was twisted. She gritted her teeth and held it back before she could not speak.
"It's me! Li Mu!" Li Mu lowered his voice and told him about his identity. Zhen Yu didn't let go of her mouth until Li Mu took off her mask and saw it.
Poor Li Mu's half of his palm was already bitten and bleeding.
"Are you a dog?!"
Zhenyu was full of question marks. In Miaojiang, the twelve zodiac signs were not very popular. Li Mu shook his hand and said angrily: "I can't explain it to you, let's go!"
Li Mu put on the mask and pulled Zhenyu away. Although he was very anxious about Wang Ou's situation, he was obviously not close to him now. It is useless to be anxious, so it is better to do something useful.
Zhenyu was dragged to the next side of the cave by Li Mu. At this time, Cui Yuzheng's cave was the safest place. Standing at the door was conspicuous. Li Mu hesitated for a moment and pulled Zhenyu into the cave.
Zhenyu almost fainted by the bloody smell of the cave. She shook Li Mu's hand away and held the cave wall to retching: "You brought me where this place is so disgusting!"
"Your leader's bedroom." Li Mu took out the fire twister from his arms that came from his corpse of a brown-clothed man. The fire twister brightened when he encountered the wind and flashed with a faint light. With this light, Li Mu saw the surrounding environment clearly.
The hole is not deep, about five square meters. There is a stone bed with a set of quilts on the stone bed, which looks like a sheepskin texture. There are blood marks everywhere on the walls and the ground. In the corner, there are a pile of bones from unknown animals.
Zhenyu walked over curiously, pulled his hands for a moment, and screamed in fear. A bone of the head rolled out like a football.
Zhenyu's faith showed signs of collapse, and she said in a trembling voice: "Master, Master, Master--"
"Don't be afraid," Li Mu picked up the skeleton and threw it aside, blocking Zhenyu's view: "Maybe your leader has a special habit, maybe he may not be a person."
This kind of comfort is better than not, Zhenyu burst into tears. But she was not scared by Li Mu: "The leader must have practiced the forbidden technique! It's over, it's over, our snake spirit teaching is about to be finished!"
"Forbidden Technique?" Four words popped up in Li Mu's head, "Earth-burning Star"? What are you doing, crossing the Naruto world?
"It is a taboo of our Snake Spirit Sect." Since Li Mu saw it, there was nothing to hide. Zhen Yu explained: "Our Snake Spirit Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. All the leaders of all generations are talented and have their own strengths. Each generation of leaders will leave their most proudest learning for future generations to refer to before their death. There was a leader who studied medical skills all his life, but what he left behind in the end was not medical skills, but forbidden skills."
Li Mu was even more confused and said, "What kind of forbidden technique? I have been talking for a long time, but I don't understand a single word."
"A few years before the leader died, he began to study the art of immortality. But in the end he failed, but he left his own research to allow future generations to inherit. However, because this method was too cruel, it was listed as a forbidden technique by the leader of the descendants, and no one could practice it."
"What kind of forbidden technique is it?" Li Mu smiled bitterly, saying something, why are you just being so stubborn?
"My father mentioned it to me." Zhenyu's little face was full of seriousness: "He said that the leader believes that human beings are composed of souls and bodies. The body will age, but the soul will not. If the aging body can be nourished and transformed, then he should be able to live longer."
"so what?"
"His method," Zhenyu's lips trembled, as if he had thought of something terrible. After a while, he continued: "He first drew out the blood of the living person and replaced it into his body. Later, he sawed off the arm of the living person and replaced it on his body. In the end, he began to eat-"
Li Mu couldn't speak anymore. Isn't this a murderer?
However, he was a little curious and said, "Have he succeeded in changing his arms?"
"No record." Zhenyu shook his head and said, "But there are records that after changing blood, the skin will dissolve. Also, if human flesh and blood are stained, the eyes will turn green, the lips will turn purple, and eventually the mind will be crazy and mentally unhappy."
What Zhen Yu said exceeded Li Mu's cognition. Although he traveled through time, this was rare in his era.
"I saw your leader." Li Mu told Zhenyu what he saw and said, "It seems you are right. He should have used this forbidden technique to change from being paralyzed and unable to move to what he is now."
"What should I do?" Zhenyu cried in despair. The Miao people always followed the leader of the Snake Spirit Sect. A leader who will definitely be crazy and a leader who has broken through the bottom line of human nature. I don't know where the Miao people will lead!
"Isn't it enough to kill him?" Li Mu said a solution in an understatement: "Didn't you say that it was the saint who helped you do things. Is there any leader who will not have any impact on your life? He has become like this now. Keeping him is a hidden danger and the scourge of your Miaojiang!"
"No!" Zhenyu said in a crying voice: "You can't kill the leader, no!"
"Why can't it be done!" Li Mu frowned and said, "Do you don't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? Don't be foolish and loyal. Think carefully, what benefits does your leader bring to you? Is it worth your way to him like this?"
"No," Zhenyu cried, "If the leader dies, the saint will die, and their lives are connected!"
Li Mu smiled angrily and said, "What is this rule? Could it be that your leader will die and you still have to let your saint be buried with him? I tell you that she is my wife, and I will not let her die!"
"It's not a burial," Zhenyu stomped her feet in a hurry and said, "Do you ask me not to interrupt after finishing my words? Do you know, why there will be a saint in this generation?" Zhenyu told her all the inside story with a crying voice: the person chosen by the Snake Spirit is Cui Yuzheng. Cui Yuzheng is weak and sick, and the Snake Spirit cannot stay. By chance, she will be boarded in Wang Ou's body. Only by relying on Cui Yuzheng's blood can Wang Ou survive. If Cui Yuzheng dies, the Snake Spirit will not receive his blood nourishment and will ask for Wang Ou's vitality to the limit, and she will soon age and die.
"Is this true?" Li Mu instinctively didn't believe it when he heard this, but he felt that Zhen Yu would not lie to him. This little girl could not make up such a meticulous story.
"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes." Zhenyu cried, "The saint sent someone to send a letter to my father, wanting my father to help her think of a solution. My father tried his best to practice a tonic. But this tonic was only a temporary solution. The medicine needed too many medicinal materials, and even if it was rich enough to match the country, it would not be possible to provide it every day. If the medicine was cut off, it would be dead!"
Li Mu gradually understood, so stupid, this woman. Her intention was to ensure that the child was born! She was afraid that Cui Yuzheng would force him to death, so she wanted these medicines. If Cui Yuzheng died, with these medicines, she could have the child successfully. As for her life, she no longer cared about it.
"I won't let her die."
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, Zhenyu stopped crying and said, "You go."
"Don't leave!" Li Mu flatly refused and said, "My wife and children are here, where will I go?"
"Even if you win, what can you do?" Zhen Yu asked; "Chief can commit suicide, can you still stop him from committing suicide?"
"I tie him up, I'll find someone to look at him!"
"It's useless!" Zhenyu shook his head and said, "My father is the best Miao doctor. I have learned from my father since I was a child. If a person wants to die, there are countless ways. If you tie him up, he can bite his tongue and commit suicide. And don't forget that our Miaojiang is best at poison. The leader has read the manuscripts left by the leader of the past dynasties. Even if he is not good at it, he will definitely die. If he wants to die, he can die no matter how much."
Li Mu couldn't speak, he knew that Zhen Yu was right. It was difficult to live alone, but it was easy to die.
"You'd better leave. If you leave, the leader can't find you and will not think about death. With children, the saint will not think about death. Isn't it good to live a person? You have to force everyone to death before you are happy?"
"I--"
Li Mu was a little shaken. He didn't know if it was right to persevere.
"Go!"
Zhenyu pushed him out, and Li Mu was in a daze and was pushed out of the cave by her.
"It's you!"
Suddenly pretending to be someone, Li Mu looked up and saw a terrifying face. His body was covered with mucus melted by flesh and blood, and he looked extremely disgusting. The two of them held umbrellas for him and covered the sun. The situation did not continue to deteriorate, but they still looked very bad.
"I should have guessed it was you!" Cui Yuzheng laughed in horror, stretched out his hand and pinched Li Mu's throat! Li Mu wanted to touch the rainy pear blossom needle, but when hesitated, his hands drooped weakly.
He fainted.
Cui Yuzheng threw Li Mu to the ground, and two men in brown pulled Li Mu up and tied them up with a rope.
"You are Gueva's daughter?"
The fear of the leader in his bones made Zhenyu kneel on the ground: "Yes, Zhenyu, the daughter of Guwa, has seen the leader."
"Do you know your mistake?"
"..." Zhenyu was silent and did not answer.
"Okay, I am worthy of being the daughter of Elder Gawa, and I have the backbone." Cui Yuzheng sneered and said, "I won't kill you, at least I won't kill you now. After these few days, I will gather the Miao soldiers. When the uprising, I will kill you and Li Mujiqi first!"
After saying that, he ordered the man in brown behind him, "Take it away and put it in the water jail! Remember, don't let them die!"
