Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, gently pulled Uncle Ju's left hand, and his face suddenly changed.

Uncle Ju was holding a blood-red token in his left hand.

The surface of the token emits a faint red light, as if liquid penetrates into Uncle Ju's palm.

"What?"

Shi Mu was slightly shocked, hesitated for a moment, and carefully pulled the token out of Uncle Ju's hand.

The token is three inches in size and is rectangular. On one side is carved with a strange pattern, it looks like a monster with a ghost face, but on the other side there are some strange fonts the size of a fly head, which is definitely not any text that Shi Mu has ever seen.

The blood-red token was held in his hand, and a cold feeling was passed over. The red light emitted touched Shi Mu's palm, but it did not penetrate like Uncle Ju.

Shi Mu looked at the token, shook his head, and was about to put the token back, his eyes looked at Uncle Ju's left hand, and his expression changed.

Uncle Ju's left hand became like other bodies. His originally smooth skin was obviously loose, and it turned blue and black, and began to emit a foul odor.

"How could it be? Could it be because I took down this token?" Shi Mu was stunned.

He glanced at the Blood-red Token. This thing was quite magical and seemed to have the effect of keeping the body from rotting.

Shi Mu shook his head. Although this thing looked good, since it was a relic of Uncle Ju, he naturally would not take it away and put it back to Uncle Ju's left hand intact.

He slowly stood up and turned around and walked towards the outside of the secret room.

Mr. Ju is a spiritual sorcerer with an extraordinary identity. He died in his residence at this moment. As the first person to discover, he must report to the sect to know whether it is true or reasonable.

After a while, Shi Mu walked out of the secret room passage and came to the stone building.

"What's going on next? How is that fat man Ju?" As soon as Shi Mu came up, the parrot flew over immediately.

"Uncle Ju is dead, and the body is beginning to rot below." Shi Mu shook his head and sighed.

When the parrot heard this, his body stiffened, and a little sad look appeared in his big eyes.

Shi Mu ignored the parrot and quickly walked out of the stone house and headed towards the sect law enforcement hall.

Half an hour later, he and an old man in gray robe hurried to Uncle Ju's residence in the stone building.

This old man in gray robe is the referee surnamed Zhen in the competition. He is the law enforcement elder of the Black Demon Sect Law Enforcement Hall.

The two hurried into the stone building and came to the entrance of the secret room.

Shi Mu was slightly stunned. The parrot ran away. He couldn't tell where he had gone. He could not see it in the stone building along the way.

"Is it here?" Just as Shi Mu was stunned, the old man in gray robe looked at the secret room passage and spoke with a solemn expression.

"Yes." Shi Mu returned to his senses and said.

The old man in gray robe nodded and walked in.

The two of them soon arrived at the secret room. The old man in gray robe was moved when he saw Uncle Ju's body.

With a wave of his hand, a white light emanated from the body, covering Uncle Ju's body.

After a while, the old man in gray robe raised his hand and dissipated the white light.

"Mr. Ju has been dead for a long time, and it should have been nearly a month. There are no traces of injuries in his body, and the cause of death should be the dissipation of the soul." The old man in gray robe pondered for a moment and said this.

When Shi Mu heard this, he became more confident in his prediction.

The old man in gray robe turned his eyes, looked at Shi Mu, and asked:

"Nephew Shi, why are you here today?"

"I happened to visit Uncle Ju today. I knocked on the door for a long time but no one responded. I found that the door was not locked, so I came in without permission. I used to study formations with Uncle Ju before and knew where his secret room was. I didn't expect that after I came in, I saw this scene." Shi Mu sighed.

"So that's the case, thanks to you, otherwise Mr. Ju's body would not be discovered for a long time." The old man in gray robe wanted to ask something, but immediately seemed to have thought of something and nodded directly.

"Elder Zhen has been awarded too much, these are what I should do." Shi Mu said.

"I will notify the sect of this matter and handle the funeral for Mr. Ju." The old man in gray robe waved his hand and signaled that Shi Mu could leave.

"Elder Zhen, in fact, my disciples came to visit Uncle Ju this time to ask him for some venom of the golden lizard to refine the talisman. The lizard in the cage is the golden lizard. It is now dead. Can the poison sac in its body allow me to take it away?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and he pointed to the silver cage on the ground beside him.

When the old man in gray robe heard this, he glanced at the golden lizard and nodded.

"Thank you, Elder Zhen." Shi Mu's face was happy and bowed.

He opened the cage, pulled out the body of the golden lizard, took out a dagger, and carefully stabbed into the left lower abdomen of the golden lizard, and made a hole with some difficulty, revealing the red and white lizard meat inside.

Shi Mu hunted many lizards in the barbarian wasteland, and he was more clear about the situation in the body of this monster.

The golden lizard is a metallic beast with solid flesh and no trace of rot.

Shi Mu searched for a moment, suddenly looked happy, and carefully used a dagger to slash the lizard's lower abdomen, took out a yellow ball the size of a fist, emitting a strange smell, which was the poisonous sac of the golden lizard.

He looked happy, took out a jade box, carefully placed the poison bag inside, and put it into the Chenmiao Ring.

"Thank you, Elder Zhen, for your fulfillment." Shi Mu stood up and bowed to the old man in gray robe.

The old man in gray robe was looking at Fatty Ju's body at this moment, and was a little dazed. Hearing Shi Mu's words, he recovered.

"You don't have to be polite about some trivial matters. You are so lifeless here that you should not stay too long. You should leave quickly. Leave the rest to me." said the old man in gray robe.

"Yes." Shi Mu nodded, looked at Uncle Ju's body, sighed again in his heart, turned around and walked outside.

After a moment, he walked out of the stone building and his expression had returned to peace.

The road of cultivation is accompanied by life and death, so he is naturally not the kind of sentimental person.

He went down the mountain along the mountain road, but not long after, a sound of flapping wings came from behind him. A colorful parrot flew out of the woods near the mountain road and landed in front of Shi Mu. It was Cai'er.

"Cai'er, why did you come here?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows.

"There is stench everywhere in that room, of course I won't stay there for too long!" Cai'er shouted.

"Uncle Ju is dead now, why haven't you been automatically sent back to your interface?" Shi Mu asked in his heart.

"Hmph! That fat man Ju suddenly died. I can no longer leave this world and return to my original plane." Cai'er screamed, and at the end, a little sad look appeared in its eyes.

"Is there such a thing?" Shi Mu was a little surprised, but there was a vague guess in his heart.

As living creatures, this parrot and the gold-transformed lizard do not require much mental power, so Uncle Ju kept the two around for a long time and treated them as pets.

Now that Mr. Ju unfortunately dies, Cai'er naturally cannot return to the other interface by herself.

"Then what are your plans in the future?" he asked again.

"I'm not familiar with the place here, so I plan to recognize another master. I like you very much, so I'll follow you in the future." Cai'er flapped her wings and said.

"Follow me? No!" Shi Mu was stunned for a moment, without thinking, and immediately refused.

This parrot is too noisy, and Uncle Ju also said that it is better to speak than to speak, have high intelligence and no other ability, so it is definitely a big trouble to carry it with you.

"What! As a noble darling, I want to follow you, but you dare to dislike you!" Cai'er was furious and screamed.

"What's the use of you besides being too talkative?" Shi Mu rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Hmph, Fatty Ju told you that I am useless, so you believed it. It's so naive! If I am so useless, how could that Fatty Ju spend a huge price to summon me to this world?" The parrot sneered.

"What do you mean?" Shi Mu was stunned when he heard this and asked tentatively.

"Our special ability of the parrots is to sign a contract with you humans, and then we can share our vision with each other for a period of time through the power of the contract." The parrot said proudly.

When Shi Mu heard this, his eyes widened and his heart beat violently.

If the parrot says it is not false, having such a spiritual pet means having more eyes.

Moreover, parrots can fly, and it is perfect for being a spy.

"You're telling the truth, right?" He asked slowly after a moment of silence.

"Of course, how could I lie to you?" the parrot said disdainfully.

"If this is the case, you are really useful, and it is not impossible to follow me... However, you will not hesitate to tell me about this ability and must choose to follow me. It will not be just because you need someone to take care of me in this world. There should be other reasons, right?" He nodded slightly, and suddenly asked with a turn of words.

The parrot's eyes turned and he spoke again after a while:

"Of course, I have something to do for me, too."

"What's the matter? It's better to say it clearly." Shi Mu said expressionlessly.

"I was deceived into this world by Fatty Ju using despicable means. After all, this place is not my hometown. I can regard you as the main person and do something for you within my ability, but you must also promise that you are strong enough in the future and send me back to your hometown." The parrot looked so serious that he said.

"According to the three major conditions that Master Ju told me, I now have no coordinates of the different interface where you are, and no powerful creatures do not have the remains. How can I send you back?" Shi Mu was speechless.

"It's up to man, but you are not strong enough now. When the conditions are met, you will have a solution!" said the parrot.

Shi Mu looked at the colorful parrot in front of him, his eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded and said:

"Okay, then I promise you."

The parrot quarreled twice, flapping its wings twice, looking quite happy.

Shi Mu looked around, muttering words, and wisps of black light appeared in his hand, which quickly condensed into a black rune, which was the master-servant contract rune.

With a wave of his hand, the black runes floated towards the parrot's head.

The parrot was also very straightforward, allowing runes to fit into its head.

Shi Mu's wisp of spiritual consciousness merged with the parrot's soul along with the contract rune, and the minds of the two also developed a trace of connection.
