Volume 1: The Jianghu is the main thing, who is the guest? Chapter 10: White Bone Soul Chasing Palm
“Not stupid…”
A strange ochre color suddenly appeared in the hall master's eyes , like two drops of wet blood, or like two faint ghost fires, flickering and unpredictable.
At the moment when the wine gourd shattered, Li Muchan vaguely saw a terrifying purple light rising from the other party's clenched fingers, but it disappeared in an instant, and the person's eyes were all purple.
As he finished speaking, the hall master flicked his right hand in the air and waved his sleeves, and the wine that had splashed everywhere disappeared out of thin air, as if it had been wiped away.
"Very good." He gathered his sleeves, opened and rubbed his five fingers, and opened his palm again. He saw ice particles falling to the ground. His eyes seemed to be re-examining Li Muchan with a smile, "I have to admit, you surprised me."
If Shangguan Xiaoxian was not stupid, then this sentence would undoubtedly have saved his life, and even saved the lives of many people, and also brought an opportunity to turn the tide.
Li Muchan suddenly asked: "Can I survive now?"
The hall master raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, just with this sentence, even if you don't have this face, you are qualified to exchange for glory and wealth, but..."
Li Muchan asked softly, "But what?"
The hall master glanced at the moon outside the window, which was already at its zenith, and said in an almost nonchalant tone, "I can't believe you yet, but that doesn't stop me from admiring you. If Shangguan Xiaoxian is not stupid, then this person's scheming is really terrifying. Maybe she has already obtained the martial arts left by Shangguan Jinhong, as well as the Demon Cult...hiss...in that case, you go and lure her out. I think she should also be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to decide the outcome."
Li Muchan also looked out the window, at the clouds covering the mountains, the green hills and clear waters, and the silent graves. He said decisively, "Okay... But how do we lure her out?"
The hall master seemed to have thought about it before. He smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Why don't you get married? Since she thinks she has deceived everyone in the world, then let her wish come true. I will go to Cuifang Tower to redeem her tomorrow."
After saying these words, the hall master's eyes were filled with sly smiles, as if he was very satisfied with this idea.
Without waiting for Li Muchan's response, he clapped his hands and laughed, "It's settled. I'll give you ten days to prepare. During these ten days, I'll give you everything you want. Right here, there'll be food, drink, and women. You can enjoy them as you like. After the ten days, you'll marry her, and I'll kill her myself on her big day."
Li Muchan had thought about this result. Since he had revealed the secret of Shangguan Xiaoxian pretending to be stupid and used it to buy a chance to breathe, he naturally had to choose to face Shangguan Xiaoxian.
And marrying him would undoubtedly mean a risk of death.
If a fight really breaks out, he'll be the first to die.
The hall master added with a smile: "As long as you survive this disaster, this dragon chief will ensure that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Li Muchan closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said as if accepting his fate: "Okay, then let's do as you say, but you have to let your people leave the Hundred Flower Forest for ten days. I don't like being watched, so you can just let them guard the mountain."
"make a deal!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, the person had already drifted away.
Li Muchan opened his eyes again and looked out the window, only to see that the two newly built tombs suddenly broke open. Two sharp figures leaped into the air from under the moon, circling like flying birds, and followed the hall master out of the Hundred Flowers Forest.
Sure enough, a living person was buried.
It's late at night.
The lights are dim.
Li Muchan sat quietly for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement outside, he stood up, picked up the iron shovel at the door, walked to the numerous graves, and began to dig up the graves one by one.
It was not until the next morning that he saw that there was no living person lying in the grave, but only corpses, and he was completely relieved.
He slept for a whole day until dark, then he took out the book again and read it carefully.
[I was originally the descendant of a Jiangnan martial arts family, but was captured by the Demon Cult. After a narrow escape, I was noticed by the Demon Cult's elders and accepted as their disciple. Later, I returned to the Central Plains to assist the Demon Cult in its eastward expansion. However, my memory remained intact and I still knew my family and parents. I secretly searched for them several times, but the world is unpredictable and my family was wiped out. When I was heartbroken, I contracted a serious disease and decided to die...]
Looking at the last words left by Dao Twelve, Li Muchan was silent for a moment. He never thought that this person would be like him.
He sighed and looked down.
[Since I held the knife, I have killed 379 people in total. My hands are covered in blood. I know that I have committed serious sins. Now, everything I have done is retribution. I am not unwilling, but I have one regret. When I was traveling in the Western Regions in the past, I fell in love with a woman from the south of the Yangtze River at first sight. We had a night of pleasure together, and we have never met since then. But I received a secret letter half a month ago. That person once gave birth to a daughter for me, and now she is trapped in the demon sect... I don’t have much time left, and I know there is no hope of rescue. I have no one to trust. When I was desperate, maybe God took pity on me, and I met a person who looked like me on the way, so I risked my life to gamble...]
Li Muchan's eyes flickered and his expression was complicated, and all the doubts he had in the past few days became clear.
It's true that things are unpredictable.
but……
A cold look suddenly appeared in his eyes. He stood up, poured a glass of wine from the table, faced the bright moon, raised the glass and poured it to the ground.
As the wine splashed, Li Muchan said softly, "Don't worry, if I don't die, I swear I will go west and settle all my grudges and hatreds with one sword."
"puff!"
The oil lamp suddenly went out.
Under the moonlight, the only sound was the flipping of books. After a long time, a faint voice was heard.
"Ghost Secret Manual, Bone Soul Chasing Palm!"
※※※
Within three days, an interesting thing happened in Luoyang City.
The silly and stupid girl in "Cuifang Tower" is actually getting married.
Everyone likes to join in the fun, especially the girls who came out of "Cuifang Tower". In the past, they were all the most beautiful girls, worth thousands of gold. Disciples of wealthy families and high-ranking officials all tried their best to get in with them, making countless men envious.
But now everyone was joking, and more people were laughing at Li Muchan.
This man was not an ordinary person. He was full of skills and had some reputation for talent. He was the most famous among the brothels and he looked good too. If he was willing to ask for his wife's hand, it was guaranteed that a pretty girl would marry him. But now, I don't know if he was crazy or not. He actually wanted to marry a fool who was bullied by everyone, making a huge fool of himself.
And in the forest of flowers.
All the graves on the ground have been dug up, revealing corpses. The already bleak world is immediately filled with gloomy energy. At night, ghost fires start everywhere, cold winds blow across the fields, and there are faint sounds of ghosts crying and sobbing, scaring passers-by so much that they cry for their parents and piss themselves to death.
In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed.
The originally shabby wooden hut now had a lot of new wooden furniture, was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and had the word "囍" pasted on it.
The hall master was still disguised as an old cripple and was busy running around; the people coming in and out were dressed differently, but their steps were steady, and their smiling faces concealed a deep coldness.
They are all members of the Qinglong Society.
On the contrary, Li Muchan was idle on the side. His originally slightly sallow face had become somewhat pale for some reason, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time and seemed to be sick. Under the setting sun, his face was so pale that one could see his bones and veins. His slightly drooped eyes had blue pupils, and his pupils were like ghost fire, faint and soul-stirring.
But all this soon disappeared.
"Ahem," he coughed a few times as if he had caught a cold. His eyes suddenly dropped and he looked towards the path at the foot of the mountain. He saw a swaying sedan chair and his eyelids twitched. "Here it comes!"
Life or death, whether to return to the world of sorrow and body to the dust, or to join the martial arts world and compete with the heroes of the world, all depends on tonight.
