Great Swordsman

Chapter 154: Bronze Knife Fighting for the Peak in Taihu Lake!

Li Mu's injuries are not serious, the main reason is that his spiritual energy is consumed too much, and it would be good to eat a few more golden pills, but there will be no enemies here, so the three-turn golden pills should be used sparingly.

Calling the white horse hiding aside, Li Mu turned on his back and rode away.

On the way, Li Mu looked at the sea of ​​qi in his dantian. With the supplement of five three-turn golden elixirs, the five qi had gradually recovered. Next, he only needed to slowly absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

What Li Mu cared about was Kun, one of the five qi.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he used the sword Frost Cold Fourteen States, he found that the power of this Kun seemed to have doubled dramatically.

In the past, the sound of the Kun could mobilize about a thousand tons of seawater, but now...

Li Mu slashed out with a sword, Kun raised his head to the sky and roared, and the berserk power suddenly struck.

boom!
He slashed in the air with a sword, and the air was blown up by a huge force, turning into a circle of air waves visible to the naked eye, blasting in all directions.

Sure enough, it changed from one thousand tons to two thousand tons!

Can a poem add a thousand tons?

Li Mu was busy reading "Will Enter the Wine", but unfortunately, Kun's power did not change at all.

He then read "Wang Yue", "Wang Lushan Waterfall" and so on, but Kun still didn't respond.

Could it be that the kun can 'evolve' at the moment when he realizes the sword art from the poem... Li Mu guessed secretly.

After walking for a while, he thought of Miss Jiang again. The other party was probably from Jiutian Yingyuan Shenfu, but it might not be. Without conclusive evidence, any power in the imperial capital is doubtful!
There are also the Eight Monsters of the Imperial Academy, whose Dragon Yuan Sword was leaked, it is likely to be related to these eight people.

However, it is also possible that Ms. Jiang is well-informed and recognized my Dragon Yin during the battle... Li Mu thought about it, and decided that he should write a letter to Zhu'er and ask him to check the ugly monsters. If there is any problem, Just follow the clues and dig out the people behind them. If there is no problem... the clues will be broken again.

No, there are still clues.

Li Mu took out a bronze knife from the jade box.

The bronze knife is very heavy, without a front, about a hundred catties, simple in shape, with a pre-Qin style, no copper rust on the blade, and well maintained.

Li Mu circulated his spiritual power to communicate with the bronze knife. Sure enough, he sensed a mysterious pattern from the blade, inspired by the spiritual power, the mysterious pattern immediately filled the blade, and the blue light overflowed!

Li Mu felt it carefully, and confirmed that this was the big formation of retribution and unhappiness.

However, as that Miss Jiang said, at least four mysterious patterns of bronze knives are needed to form the formation of retribution and unhappiness.

Moreover, the more bronze knives, the greater the power of the formation!
If someone in the imperial capital uses bronze knives, then... no, there are one hundred and eight bronze knives, and there is a high probability that they fell into the hands of powerful people. If I use this as a clue to track down Miss Jiang and her party, I may offend the big shot!

This Miss Jiang is really cunning... Li Mu was furious, but soon felt that it was not him who should be angry. At least, these bronze knives belonged to him now!
Li Mu transferred the eight bronze knives to his Dragon Scale Space, and when he returned to Qingping County, he planned to give these bronze knives to the grooms and the others.

There is a large formation of retribution, and the groom and the others work together, and they have a little fighting power. Even if they can't kill the enemy, they can protect themselves.

And there are a hundred and eight of these things, he can collect them slowly.

By the way, the bronze knife is recast from the Yazi tripod, and it contains a great array of retribution.

Yazi must pay for kindness, and revenge for revenge, which is closely related to the big formation of retribution and unhappiness.

Could the supernatural powers contained in my Pu Lao Ding be related to Pu Lao?
Pu Lao is one of the nine sons of the dragon, ranking fourth. He has a good voice and roars all his life. The huge dragon's mouth in the body of Jiuding Ding is his biggest feature.

Could it be that the supernatural powers in the Pu Lao Ding are related to the rhythm and roar?
Li Mu couldn't wait to realize it, but it was difficult to take out the Pu Lao Ding. If someone saw him, would he keep his mouth shut or keep his mouth shut?
wow wow...

After walking forward for a while, the sky was overcast and it was raining lightly.

Li Mu inspired his spiritual energy, kept the rain out, and rode leisurely and contentedly.

Both sides of the official road are densely covered with mountains and forests, which are vivid and pleasing in the rain.

Li Mu's mood gradually improved.

After traveling for dozens of miles, the sky gradually darkened, and Li Mu finally saw the county town appearing in front of him.

drive~
As soon as Li Mu flattered, the white horse galloped like the wind and rushed into the county town.

In the past few days, Li Mu had a good appetite, so he found a hotel immediately, and ordered half a catty of braised beef, a roast duck, a braised fish, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, and some seasonal vegetables.

There are not many guests in the hotel at this time, and the dishes will be ready soon.

Li Mu was sitting by the restaurant, looking out at the rain scene while eating, and casually asked the waiter who was cleaning the table beside him: "Has it been raining for a long time here?"

He found that the silt in the gaps between the green bricks on the ground was almost soaked.

Xiao Er trotted over and said mysteriously: "Guest officer has good eyesight. It has been raining in our county for half a month. It is strange to say that every time it is about to stop, it suddenly becomes bigger again. Someone Said, it was the county magistrate who offended the Dragon King, and the Dragon King is punishing us people."

"Dragon King? Is there a big river near your county?" Li Mu remembered that the hypocritical Housekeeper Zhao once said that after crossing a line of cliffs, you can directly enter Taihu Lake in Gusu County by water.

Xiaoer said: "That's natural. There is Hongshui River next to our county. It can go straight to the Tianhe River, the largest river in Dagan, to the east, and Mang River to the north and south. If it weren't for the narrow course of the Hongshui River, our county would definitely be promoted to a big county. Even the county!"

在大乾，1万到3万户是小县，3万到6万户是中县，6万到9万户为大县。

For a county, there must be at least 10 households!

Li Mu asked: "I want to go to Taihu Lake in Gusu County, where should I take a boat?"

"If you go to Taihu Lake in Gusu County, you have to enter the Mang River. I suggest that the uncle go to the South Wharf to have a look. By the way, today there will be sacrifices to the Dragon King." After finishing speaking, Xiaoer asked curiously, "Say Coincidentally, many people are going to Taihu Lake in Gusu County recently, does the guest officer know what happened there?"

"I'm going to visit relatives." Li Mu smiled and waved Xiao Er away.

It seems that the news of Emperor Taihu Ooze has spread more than I imagined.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to go to Taihu Lake in such a remote county.

After eating, Li Mu led the white horse to the South Wharf.

The South Wharf is crowded with hundreds of people, rubbing shoulders together.

Li Mu rode on a white horse, looked away, and found an empty space by the pier, where a table was set up, and a man in Taoist robes was sacrificing live cows, pigs and sheep to the Dragon King.

"Is this useful?" Li Mu heard someone whispering beside him.

"There have been several sacrifices. The Dragon King ate the sacrifices, but the rain kept on raining. Probably, he felt that the cattle, pigs and sheep were not sincere." Someone replied in a low voice.

"Not showing sincerity? Could it be that the Dragon King still wants to eat people?" Someone was filled with righteous indignation.

"But if the rain doesn't stop, the crops will all die. Even if the Dragon King wants to eat meat, we have to give it to him, right?" A timid voice sounded.

"Bah, nonsense! Now that the aura is revived and demons are rampant, I heard that in a nearby village, a fierce ghost killed the entire village! If the dragon king cannibalize people, he must be a river demon!" The knowledgeable people were dissatisfied. hummed.

"If there are really monsters in the river, how can we be safe, the little people?" the timid voice said bitterly.

Li Mu was puzzled, and couldn't help interjecting: "Your county magistrate doesn't care?"

"You are a foreigner." The man who was filled with righteous indignation pointed at the priest and said, "That is our county magistrate."

"Huh?" Li Mu was surprised.

As a county magistrate, he must receive a report from the imperial court when Ziqi Donglai comes. It stands to reason that even a poor family can become a serious Ziqi practitioner after reading the article. Now it seems that there is a river monster. Thinking about eliminating demons, but making a big sacrifice here, this operation...is incomprehensible.

The sacrifice soon ended, and the cattle, pigs and sheep were thrown into the Hongshui River, and a vortex appeared in the water, swallowing the three animals.

Many people exclaimed, even the Dragon King bless.

Li Mu watched coldly.

The crowd dispersed quickly, and the county magistrate in Taoist robes also left under the escort of a group of yamen servants.

Although Li Mu thought it was a bit strange here, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He found a boat to Taihu Lake in Gusu County, and paid to board the boat.

As for the white horse, Li Mu released it, hoping that it could learn its way and find its way back to the White Horse Temple.

At about three quarters you o'clock, the ship left the shore.

There is no moon tonight, but the stars are bright.

Li Mu stood on the side of the boat, looking down at the star-studded Hongshui River below.

"Sir, it's windy at night, hurry up and rest in the cabin." Seeing that Li Mu was alone, the boss of the boat kindly reminded him.

"Thank you." Li Mu thanked, and asked, "Boater, has there been any shipwreck in this Hongshui River?"

"Sir, are you worried about the river monster?" The boat owner laughed loudly. "It's all rumors in the market. Those of us who run the boat live on the river every day. We don't know if there are any monsters in the river? But for us, the people on the shore People didn't believe it, so the rumors about the dragon king eating people and the river monster haunting became more and more intense."

The boat boss said: "However, the fish in this river are vicious. The sacrifices just now must have been eaten by these beasts."

"Without the Dragon King River Demon, why does it keep raining?" Li Mu asked.

"I don't know about this, but sir, these days, many monks have taken the initiative to go to the river to investigate, but none of them have been found. It can be seen that there are indeed no river monsters in this river." The boat boss assured, patted his chest.

From this point of view, the rain in this county is getting weirder.

Unfortunately, he has no time to stay any longer.

The next day.

The boats leave the Hongshui River and enter the Mang River.

The Mang River is divided into two sections, the north and the south. The north section has nine bends and eighteen bends, and the waves are rolling, while the south section is full of violent waves.

The boat went down the river and entered Gusu County a few days later.

To be cautious, Li Mu got off the boat as soon as he entered Gusu County, rented a carriage in a nearby county town, and rushed to Taihu Lake.

Taihu Lake is vast, known as the Inner Sea, and there are a total of seven counties nearby. Li Mu drove a carriage to a nearby county called Penghao County.

Today happened to be the fifteenth day of July, and there were still a few hours before dark, so there was still plenty of time, so Li Mu planned to inquire about the information first.

When he came to the restaurant, before ordering food, the waiter enthusiastically expressed that he would send wine.

"But what's the happy event?" Li Mu asked.

"Guest officer, the water bandits in Taihu Lake have been eliminated, and all the restaurants are paying for their guests." The waiter in the shop was quite talkative, saying that during these days, thousands of monks flooded into Lake Taihu, and they forcibly wiped out the water bandits in Taihu Lake!
There are so many people... Li Mu was surprised, but he looked around, but he couldn't see a few people who looked like monks.

He asked, "Where did all these monks go?"

"Guest officer, they are all on the island, otherwise we can't wipe out the water bandits entrenched in each island." The waiter said mysteriously, "I heard that someone found it on an island in Taihu Lake. This is why they have attracted so many monks!"

"Nonsense, there is no treasure, if you don't understand, just shut up!" At this time, another person walked in outside the restaurant, in his early thirties, with average facial features.

He came to Li Mu's table, chased away the waiter, sat down in front of Li Mu very impolitely, and said, "Your Excellency invited me to repair Li Lang in the Taihu Lake wilderness. May I ask what your name is?"

"I'm Chen Ping'an!" Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, what can I teach you?"

"Let's be smart people don't speak dark words!" Li Lang lowered his voice, "Your Excellency must have come here for Emperor Liuzhi."

Li Mu nodded calmly: "Exactly."

"That's good." Li Lang changed his name with a smile, and said, "Brother Chen, do you know why those monks went to the island?"

"I don't know." Li Mu shook his head. He only knew that the emperor's fluid would fall in Taihu Lake, and he needed to use the best warm jade to catch it, but he didn't know more specifically.

"Hehehe." Li Lang smiled without saying a word.

"Brother Li, please let me know." Li Mu quickly cooperated with him.

Only then did Li Lang speak, and said: "It is said that most of the emperor's liquid will fall from the sky, and most of them will fall on the 72nd peak, and only a few will fall into the vast Taihu Lake. Therefore, if you want to seize the emperor's liquid, you must first compete for the peak!"

72 islands in Taihu Lake are also called 72 peaks!

Li Lang said that the bigger the island, the more the emperor liquid will fall, and vice versa.

And the best place to receive Emperor's Ointment is exactly where Daofeng is!
So that's the case... Li Mu cupped his hands: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your enlightenment!"

Li Lang waved his hand and said, "No thanks. Now the 72nd peak is occupied by people, I am alone and I am looking for a companion, if Brother Chen doesn't mind, let's go together?"

"That's good!" Li Mu cupped his hands again, "Brother Li, what do you think?"

Li Lang said: "The big island is mixed with fish and dragons. If we enter the big island, we can fish in troubled waters, but it's not easy to retreat! Most of the people who occupy the small island are masters. Brother Chen, what's your opinion?"

"It's better to have a chicken head than a phoenix tail!" Li Mu said confidently.

"Brother Chen is so ambitious!" Li Lang gave a thumbs up and patted his thigh excitedly and said, "Okay, let's go to the island to meet those geniuses! If we can occupy the island, it will be considered as good fortune for us two brothers, if not , let’s go to Dadao and fish in troubled waters! The 72 peaks of Taihu Lake always have a place for our brothers!”

It's so exciting, my blood is boiling!

Li Mu's face was excited, his heart was as clear as ice, and he felt that this guy was suspicious!
It's no wonder that Li Mu is suspicious, it is true that with the experience of the mountain temple and the first line of cliffs, he really dare not trust others anymore.

After eating and drinking enough, the two immediately rented a boat at the pier and went into the depths of Taihu Lake.

As the head snake of Taihu Lake, Li Lang does his part to row the boat and guide the direction.

An hour later, the sun was setting, and the ship docked beside a small island in the blood-colored waves.

The island is not big, about half the size of Penghao County. The island is full of greenery and lush forests. There is a small hill in the middle of the island, standing high.

There, it should be the best place to receive Emperor Ooze, but...

Li Mu looked over, but found that there was no one on the hillside, but there was a lonely and thin figure at the foot of the hill, looking at the sunset alone at the moment.

The man seemed to be aware of Li Mu's gaze, and suddenly looked sideways. In an instant, Li Mu felt a huge pressure rushing towards his face!

So strong!

No wonder he can occupy an island by himself?
It's just... Li Mu looked down at Li Lang who was paddling.

Is it really such a coincidence that he landed on an island occupied by such a strong man with just a single swipe?

Or, did Li Lang want to borrow a knife to kill someone?
"Brother Chen!" Li Lang put down the oars, and said in a tone of sincerity, "Go, today we brothers will be heroes of the world for a while!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice rolling from the hillside of the island: "Amitabha..."

The voice was very soft at first, but he approached at a very fast speed. When the last word 'Buddha' fell, the man had already come to the edge of the island!
Li Mu looked, his face changed slightly.
