0966, Variables

The night is dark.

On the way back to his residence, Ye He looked at his sister Ye Ying who was following him, and hesitated several times.

"Sister, do you want to ask about Li Mu?" Ye Ying was in a much better mood and said with a smile.

Ye He shook his head and said: "Asking is in vain. You obviously don't know. Li Mu has big problems and big causes. It's not as simple as it seems on the surface. This time, I'm afraid it's Lei Dao himself." Got into big trouble."

After hearing this, Ye Ying became more curious: "Sister, you are exaggerating a bit. The energy of the Lei Dao lineage in the chaotic world is not only in the human race. Although Li Mu is powerful, it will not shake this inheritance."

Ye He said: "I just... have a feeling."

In her mind, she recalled Jiang Buping's strange behavior in the last moments, and she always felt that the old city lord seemed to know something and had a strange connection with Li Mu.

"Hehe, sister, aren't you starting to be curious about Li Mu too?" Ye Ying winked: "Your current state is very dangerous. Many great loves start from curiosity - don't stare. Oh, this is what you scolded me for before."

"Maybe your decision tonight is right." Ye He said.

"ah?"

"You are right to insist on going to the City Lord's Mansion tonight."

"I told you earlier."

"At least Li Mu is no longer hostile to you, which may be a good thing for the family."

"I'm not here for the family, I just regard him as a friend."

"Hit by accident."

"Sister, I actually think Li Mu is quite suitable for you."

"Shut up."

"Really, haven't you always looked down upon the top, no matter what kind of genius you are? Hehe, a monster like Li Mu can always catch your eye, right? Besides, he is not from a big family, maybe I can become a wife, it meets your requirements."

"Shut up."

"Hehe, sister, if you don't take action, then I will."

"Shut up, you damn girl."

…

"Third uncle..." Lin Jingxin looked at Lin An.

"What do you want to say?" Lin An walked in front without looking back.

Lin Jingxin said: "Maybe my lazy character really needs to change. I will set off tomorrow to go to the Nanque Army."

"Yes, I have finally grown up." Lin An stopped and looked at Lin Jingxin carefully.

In the eyes of outsiders, this nephew is not particularly talented among the younger generation of the Lin family. Compared with several other Lin family children who have become generals or led their own armies, his brilliance is completely obscured. But only a few elders of the Lin family know that Lin Jingxin's innate physique ranks first in the Lin family. If it weren't for that incident back then...

Now, has this self-destructive genius of the Lin family finally begun to take responsibility?

Good news.

This Li Mu... Hey, he is really a monster.

What the Lin family couldn't do in five or six years, he did in just a few days.

…

…

"Lao Jiang, are you sure?"

Liao Zhi looked shocked and excited: "Is it really that person?"

As Jiang Buping pulled Liao Zhi towards the back garden of the city lord's palace, he lowered his excited voice and said: "Yes, I definitely read it right. But to kill the real spirit, it must be a divine whip. The prophecy will finally come true. That person has arrived, and Li Mu is that person, the chosen one we have been waiting for for countless years."

The two of them quickly came to an inconspicuous rockery in the back garden. Jiang Buping pressed on a protruding stone in the rockery very regularly, and then rotated left and right. There was no sound of the formation or the sound of the machine turning. The rockery creaked and moved, revealing a basement entrance.

Enter the underground chamber.

It was empty, with a square table and an incense burner on the table. On the wall behind the table, there was a painting, which showed an old man riding a green bull. He had white eyebrows and white beard, a broad forehead and a strange face.

Jiang Buping came to the square table, knelt on the futon, and bowed respectfully.

Then, he took out three light golden incense sticks. If you look carefully, the golden light on the surface of the incense sticks is clearly a faint golden rune, flowing silently.

He lit the golden incense with the power of Yan Yan's palm and inserted it into the incense burner.

Green smoke curls up.

The smoke traces lingered in the air, outlining strange symbols.

"What's the matter?"

The old man in the painting opens his mouth, and his voice is gentle and clear, like the sound of heaven.

"Reporting to the Patriarch, three generations of disciples Jiang Buping and Liao Zhi have found the owner of the magic whip."

Jiang Buping and Liao Zhi bowed to the ground and saluted with utmost respect and admiration.

…

…

It's getting colder in the wilderness.

Li Mu was sitting among the rocks beside the river, sheltered from the wind.

The bald old man's incomplete true spirit body was imprisoned by Taoism, and he stared at Li Mu with a furious look on his face.

"This wind can even blow away the body-protecting essence of martial arts experts. It seems that the cold season in this world is more terrifying than I imagined."

Li Mu felt waves of coldness.

Logically speaking, his physique has long been immune to cold and heat.

There are less than ten days left before the cold season. Not only the temperature changes, Li Mu feels that even the laws between heaven and earth have undergone some subtle changes. This is a very strange phenomenon.

It seems that the difference between cold season and warm season in this world is not just about temperature.

"Tell me, what's going on with the hexagrams on the Seven Star Divine Lamp hexagram plate?" Li Mu looked at the bald old man and said calmly: "Don't tell me, you don't know either."

He raised his hand and removed some of the Taoist restrictions on the bald old man's true spirit body.

"Little bastard, you..." The bald old man opened his mouth and cursed.

call out!

The sword flashed.

A golden blade flashed and sliced ​​off the bald old man's ear.

"I advise you to answer my question well." Li Mu was leaning on the rock, not even looking at the bald old man. The expression on his face was terrifyingly calm, as if he was thinking about other things.

"Ah..." the bald old man screamed.

The pain of an injury to the true spiritual body is like an injury to the soul, far more than the injury to the physical body.

"Little bastard, you never want to know." The bald old man was in great pain, but his eyes were fixed on Li Mu and said: "Don't think that everyone is afraid of death. When I ruled the world, your grandfather's hair didn't even grow. As for Qi, just kill him if you want, you will soon know the horror of Lei Dao."

Li Mu glanced at him: "Wrong answer."

call out!

The golden sword flashed.

The other ear of the bald old man fell off.

He screamed in pain, with vicious resentment in his eyes, grinning ferociously, and stared at Li Mu provocatively.

"If you don't tell me, I will cut you into pieces slowly, like peeling a carrot." Li Mu's tone was as calm as if he was eating and drinking, but the killing intent in it was enough to make people shudder.

"Guess what I did instead of following Lei Zang all the time?" The bald old man suddenly laughed ferociously, with a hysterical look on his face.

Li Mu sat up slowly, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

A terrible possibility occurred to him.

"Hahaha, little bastard, with your mind, you have already figured it out, right? Hahaha, you are indeed the most terrifying person in terms of intelligence, martial arts, courage and means among the younger generation I have seen, but you are not... How can a perfect person, who only later realizes that he is passive, be able to make up for everything, hahahaha!"

The bald old man laughed wildly, his eyes full of cruelty.

Li Mu stood up, the expression on his face was as ferocious as ever before, his eyes were like daggers, and he said: "If any of the people in Dongxing Village have any shortcomings, I swear that I will destroy your thunder path and destroy your orthodoxy."

"Hahaha, three long and two short? Anyone?" The bald old man smiled crazily and proudly: "I'm afraid that in the entire Dongxing Village, there is no living person now. Oh, no, there is one more, but That's almost it, haha, you are worthy of destroying my Thunder Dao orthodoxy..."

call out!

The golden sword flashed.

The head of the bald old man's true spirit body flew up.

Li Mu was trembling all over, and his whole body was overwhelmed by indescribable anger.

The sword light flashed and flickered, directly cutting the bald old man's true spirit body into powder.

Without any hesitation, he soared into the sky, turned into a ray of golden light, and rushed madly towards Dongxing Village.

…

…

Lei Dao Ancestral Court.

In the [Hall of Heroes], where all the divine disciples of the Thunder Road lineage are enshrined, among the twenty-one divine lamps located in the third row, the third lamp from the left suddenly flickered with sparks, and finally went out quickly, emitting a burst of green light. cigarette.

The disciple on duty who was cleaning the Hall of Heroes saw this scene, his expression changed drastically, he turned around and flew out.

A moment later, an old man with a stooped figure and long hair shawl walked in step by step. He looked at the extinguished lamp and was speechless for a long time.

"The Divine Whip has really appeared. Now it seems that Lei Zang's words are correct."

The old man's eyes were deep and dark, as if a candle flame was flickering. His fingers kept pinching and calculating, and his face kept changing. Finally, his face became paler and whiter. There were red blood vessels bulging on the skin of his neck, and his face was ferocious. It's scary, and in the end, my face is getting redder and redder...

"puff!"

Finally, he opened his mouth and spit out a blood arrow, staining the ground of the Hall of Heroes red.

"As expected of the master of the Divine Whip. The secrets are so messed up that I can't figure out anything. Mingyu was killed and the news about the Divine Whip must have been leaked. I believe the other side will know about it soon. It is no longer possible to kill Li Mu."

The old man turned around and said to the old servant who was following him: "Remove that lamp and prepare the car. I want to go to Tianque to see Daozu."

"Yes, sir." said the servant.

A moment later, a canopy-covered car pulled by a goat slowly drove out of the Lei Dao Ancestral Courtyard. It seemed to be extremely slow, but in fact it disappeared into the depths of the sky like a flash of light.
