Great Swordsman

Chapter 268
It was already noon when we returned to Qingyou Mountain.

Li Mu released the spirit horse and climbed up the steps of Qingshi Mountain.

The doll followed behind his ass, bouncing up and down, so happy!
I finally left my mother's house, so I can rest assured to be bold and fishy, ​​hehehe... The baby's saliva drools when she thinks of this, but when she thinks about chanting scriptures, her facial features twist again.

"Suzerain, Suzerain!"

At this moment, Lin Aimin, who was guarding the mountain, sprang out from the forest on the left. He was dressed in green and purple, and was handsome, but his hair was a little messy, as if he had just woken up.

"Sovereign, disciples congratulate the Sect Master for slaying the sword demon with his sword, displaying the power of heaven, and establishing the reputation of the Sword Sect!" Lin Aimin clasped his hands and bowed down, his tone very joyful.

"Hey, actually, I didn't want to do such a high-profile thing, but the Yuan Huns persecuted me too much, so I had no choice but to cut him off with a sword. It's a sin." Li Mu shook his head and sighed, with a lonely expression.

"The suzerain is really high-spirited and upright. I hate the wolfish ambitions of the Mongolian Huns. It is really their own fault that they have ended up today. The suzerain must not blame themselves!" Lin Aimin said.

My Jianzong has disciples like you, so why worry about it... Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Cultivate well, don't lose the face of Jianzong!"

"Yes, suzerain!" Lin Aimin responded loudly.

Back in the Jiange of the other courtyard, Li Mu first made up for the roast duck that was owed to the baby so that she could fill her stomach before working.

He came to the gazebo and sat down, concentrating on it.

Speaking of which, since the end of the battle with the Sword Demon, he has no time to sort himself out.

Li Mu looked at his body, and with the help of Dragon Blood Fiend, most of the blood that was burnt in that battle has been replenished, and the rest needs to be slowly nourished by elixir and heaven and earth spiritual energy.

And those three real dragon qis are also slowly swimming in his own blood.

Fortunately, the dragon energy is not concealed. In this way, it will be easier for me to comprehend Jiuding in the future!

It's a pity that this is the Imperial Capital, Li Mu didn't dare to take out the Jiuding, if someone finds out, it will definitely be a catastrophe!
Then, Li Mu inspected Niwan Palace.

On top of the green lotus, the heart of the sword is weak, and the blue light is dim.

In the decisive battle that day, Li Mu first realized the four styles of sword tactics from the four frontier poems, namely Shooting Sirius, Baifafa, Breaking the Huns and Flying Dragon in the Sky, and the last poem Man Jianghong, what he realized was not sword tactics, It is a secret method to forcibly increase strength by burning blood essence.

And Jian Xin's sluggishness is also because of Man Jianghong!

What Manjianghong is burning is not only the blood, but even the heart of the sword is also burning!
No wonder I was able to cut the sword demon of the eleventh level of Earth Sha into ashes with a single sword... Li Mu was both surprised and happy. The happy thing is that from now on, he has one more hole card. The gourd realized the 72 spirit pattern array that can cultivate the sword heart. Once the sword heart burns once, he has to cultivate it for half a year!
At this time, the 72 spirit patterns engraved on the petals of the green lotus are emitting light rays of light, like the mist on the river in the morning, curling up and melting into the heart of the sword!
Li Mu observed carefully, and found that the dim Jian Xin was recovering at an extremely fast speed under the warmth of this light light!

Interestingly, this formation is as slow as a tortoise when condensing and improving Jianxin, but it is so quick in terms of recovery.

Could this be the way to open the array?

Then, Li Mu looked at the green lotus. At this time, the green lotus already had 25 petals, which were blooming one after another, and a miniature Kun was wandering leisurely among the lotus petals.

Li Mu sensed and found that the power of seawater carried in the kun was already 1 tons.

It's just that in the recent battle, Li Mu found that this little 'Kun Kun' seemed to be passive and sabotage, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

Li Mu checked again and again to confirm that there was no problem with 'Kun' before exiting Niwan Palace.

He opened his eyes, and saw a table of duck necks and duck skeletons that had been gnawed to pieces. At this time, the doll was already full of fat, and was lying on the bench by the gazebo, with his belly full of clothes. Puff up high.

The doll caressed her belly, like a woman who was pregnant in October, her movements were gentle.

Reincarnation of a starved ghost... Li Mu was powerless to complain, rolled up his sleeves, and swept the mess on the table into the dustpan beside him.

Someone will clean up the rubbish.

"Baby, are you full?" Li Mu walked towards the baby with a smile.

"I want to take a nap, don't bother me~" The baby wanted to turn over, but her stomach was too full, so she didn't succeed.

Li Mu picked her up, straightened her up and sat down, and said, "I can't lie down to sleep if I'm too full, because I'm prone to indigestion!"

"You're lying~ You just want me to recite scriptures~" The baby glared at Li Mu, with the look of a little adult who I've already seen through you.

"Oh, since you have said that, then I can only be disrespectful." Li Mu took out the Buddhist scriptures.

The doll's face was terrified at that time, and the two greasy little hands shook and shook: "No, no, I will vomit~"

"I'll buy double the amount of roast duck you spit out!" Li Mu opened the Buddhist scriptures and said, "Baby, be good, read the scriptures."

"Hmm..." The baby's facial features were distorted, and she struggled for a long time before she resigned to her fate and stumbled into reciting scriptures.

This time, the chanting is still the same as the first time. Wherever I chanted in one breath, I stopped there, and the baby didn't care what it was chanting.

Li Mu didn't bother to interrupt, he just let her read it, while he sat aside, running a leisurely tour, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, adjusting himself, wandering outside the world, letting his thoughts drift away.

As for the doll's out-of-tune sutra sound, it enters in the left ear and exits in the right ear.

In a flash, half an hour passed.

Baby read it several times, seeing that Li Mu was sitting there not responding at all, she immediately decided to be lazy, she put down the Buddhist scriptures, turned around and left secretly.

But just took a step, Li Mu grabbed the back collar: "Where are you going?"

"I... I'm thirsty~" the baby said guiltily.

Li Mu smiled and took out a white jade porcelain vase, which was one of the gifts from Princess Bai Sining of Nanzhao. Inside was snow-capped mountains and clean water, which contained abundant aura.

"Take it and drink it." Li Mu said with a smile.

The baby drank a few sips with a bitter face, and found that although the water was cold, it was sweet and very delicious.

She wanted to drink it all in one gulp, gurgling... but she drank half her salary. The water in this bottle seemed endless, and she couldn't finish it no matter what.

"Hic~" the doll burped, and her round belly swelled up a bit.

"Still thirsty?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

While shaking her head, the baby quickly turned around and put the white jade porcelain bottle into her big precious wooden bowl, thinking that Li Mu would not be able to find it, then she turned around and shouted with great motivation: "I'm going to recite scriptures now~ "

Li Mu didn't try to expose her, and continued to meditate.

The sutra sound is still out of tune, and even as I recite it, it is actually different from the previous few times.

wrong!

Li Mu was shocked and opened his eyes suddenly!

It's not that the sound of the scriptures is different, it's that the doll has paused!

In the past, dolls recite as much as they can in one breath, such as chanting pity farmers, while others recite "the day of hoeing, sweat drips down the soil, who knows that the food on the plate is hard work", it sounds very refreshing!
And the doll reads "the day of hoeing, sweat drips at noon, who knows how to put the soil on the plate, and the Chinese food is all hard work." When she reads it like this, who can understand what she is saying?
But at this time, Li Mu found that the pause when the baby recited the scriptures was no longer limited to her breath, but... according to the scriptures?
Li Mu took a deep breath, and began to calm down, and waited for the baby to start a new round of chanting, then he looked at the Buddhist scriptures, listening and reading at the same time.

really!

Sure enough, it started to pause according to the scriptures!

Li Mu was overjoyed, this guy, Baby, really has a deep connection with Buddhism!

It is so wise to ask her to recite scriptures!

Li Mu was overjoyed, thinking of the three Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist kingdom of the Western Regions, and thinking of the six supreme Dharma seals of Buddhism, his heart went away for a while.

Oops, distracted, distracted!
Li Mu quickly calmed down, and while listening to the doll chanting scriptures, while reading Buddhist scriptures, he tried to comprehend the Daqianyin in the scriptures!
After reading it twice again, the baby's voice became a little hoarse, and even the bulging belly lost a lot of weight.

She looked up at Li Mu pitifully.

"Well, that's it for today." Li Mu sighed regretfully, he didn't understand anything from the scriptures and the scriptures.

But haste makes waste, Li Mu is not in a hurry.

According to the agreement, he paid the baby the full amount of roast duck.

The baby was overjoyed, and immediately forgot all the unhappiness just now, and was immersed in the world of roast duck, unable to extricate herself.

The setting sun was setting, and today's setting sun was still like blood, dyeing the entire sky scarlet.

Li Mu always felt that something was going to happen.

Thinking of the big tribute the day after tomorrow, he felt uneasy.

When the moon was in the mid-heaven, the baby who had read the scriptures for a long time went to bed early for the first time, and seemed exhausted.

Li Mu was free and continued to read Buddhist scriptures.

"Li Mu, Li Mu, I heard you're back!" Zhu'er's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Li Mu glanced at the baby, the girl was lying on the bed, revealing her white and tender belly, sleeping soundly.

Li Mu walked out of the house and saw Zhu'er bouncing up and down, just like the doll.

"Zhu'er, aren't you preparing for the big tribute?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"It's all trivial matters. It's enough to have Youlan and the others, and I don't need to go out." Zhu'er acted as if I was the eldest sister of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and I didn't easily appear on the stage, with a strong aura.

"Tut tsk tsk." Li Mu shook his head, looking at her with a half smile.

"What are you talking about?" Zhu'er put her hands on her hips, furious, feeling that her status was seriously questioned.

"It's nothing." Li Mu changed the topic with a smile and said, "The baby is asleep, let's go to the pavilion to chat."

"Hmph." Zhu'er snorted arrogantly, stepped into the booth, and said: "Thanks to me, I got important information, so I will tell you right away, you are not as sensible as a baby."

Important information?

Could it be related to the Great Tribute?

Li Mu's eyes brightened slightly, he racked his brains and said, "Zhu'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, I saw that your face is radiant, as if you have become five years younger, and your skin is tender!"

"Really?" Zhu'er hurriedly pinched her pretty face with a little baby fat, but it... hurt!

Li Mu suppressed his smile and said, "Zhu'er, what is the important information?"

Zhu'er rubbed her red face, and hummed, "There's a big thing happening in Lin'an County!"

"Lin'an County?" Li Mu was stunned, a little disappointed, thinking that it had something to do with the Great Tribute. Immediately, Li Mu suddenly remembered that he had heard some strange things from others in a roast duck restaurant.

One of them was impressively related to Lin'an County.

Why did it say that there hadn't been any rain for half a year, the land was barren for miles, and the West Lake was almost dry.

Li Mu asked Zhu'er for verification, and it turned out that this was really the case!
"The West Lake was dried up two days ago, and someone came out on a dragon." Zhu'er said solemnly: "Moreover, the governor of Lin'an County also discovered that there is a large tomb at the bottom of the West Lake!"

"Jiaolong? Big tomb?" Li Mu frowned fiercely. Could it be a replica of King Qingping's tomb?
wrong!

If the veins of a dragon transform into a dragon, it is also a true dragon, not a flood dragon!
Moreover, ordinary people can't ride a monster like Jiaolong, right?

Li Mu suddenly thought of Longhu Mountain.

Some time ago, Longhu Mountain subdued six evil dragons in Gusu County, could it be...

"Is it related to Longhu Mountain?" Li Mu asked softly.

Zhu'er shook her head: "I don't know, but..."

"But what?" Li Mu hated half-talkers the most!

"That dragon is flying towards the imperial capital." Zhu'er said: "From Lin'an County to the direction of the imperial capital, that dragon has been found in many counties and counties! It is speculated in the palace that the dragon will appear in the day after tomorrow at the latest Above the imperial capital!"

Isn't the day after tomorrow a big tribute?

Is something really going to happen?

Li Mu frowned.

"Li Mu, don't worry too much. The imperial capital is guarded by a large formation. If the dragon dares to fly into the imperial capital, it will definitely be crushed to death by the large formation!" Zhu'er vowed that the imperial capital's air-forbidden formation is not controlled by Qin Tianjian. Completed under the guidance of the leader, the mere flood dragon has absolutely no possibility of resisting the power of the great formation!
"I hope so." Li Mu suddenly thought of the bloody sunset he had seen for two consecutive days, and felt exhausted for a while.

He exhausted all his energy to kill the sword demon, and before he rested for a few days, he was about to usher in another big tribute.

Hey.

"Don't talk about that." Zhu'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked me to ask you, are you married?"

"Married?" Li Mu shook his head in surprise, "No, but I have a concubine."

"It's fine if you don't get married, the empress said, I want to point you to a marriage!" Zhu'er said enthusiastically.

"This..." Li Mu felt a burst of resistance at that moment.

If you point to a wonderful marriage, then I can naturally feel wronged, if not, I can't feel wronged myself, can I?

"Why, you don't want to?" Zhu'er resolutely put her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "The empress is going to point out her cousin to you!"

She told Li Mu that her cousin's name is Qin Mengru, although she is not beautiful, she is also very beautiful.

Moreover, if Li Mu could marry Miss Mengru, he would be able to rely on the Qin family. Many things and many enemies would naturally be settled by the Qin family!
"How is it, how is your empress treating you?" Zhu'er smiled.

"...Okay." Li Mu blushed for a while, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then, he suddenly remembered something.

Qin family?

"Zhu'er, do you know Qin Hu?" Li Mu asked hurriedly.

Qin Hu is Zhao Que'er's younger brother, he is a collateral branch of the Qin family, and he doesn't know if this Qin family is Qin Mengyao's Qin family.

Zhu'er thought for a while, then nodded: "I know! He is the most outstanding collateral child in the empress's family. I heard that he has always liked Miss Meng's family very much, but he dared not pursue him. He is a very strange person."

"Then what is the relationship between the Qin family and the Zhao family in Pinghai County?" Li Mu asked again.

Zhu'er shook his head: "Before the empress became the queen, the Qin family was just an ordinary family, and the Zhao family was one of the top families in the big cadres. Naturally, there would be no intersections. It was not until the Qin family rose by relying on the empress that they slowly formed a relationship with the Zhao family and the Ying family. The family and other families have contacts, but it should not be deep, and I am not very clear about it."

Saying that, Zhu'er looked at Li Mu suspiciously again: "Li Mu, you won't really offend Zhao Que'er, right?"

Li Mu had asked about Zhao Que'er and the Zhao family before, and now he asked this again, there must be something tricky!
"I just saw Qin Hu and Zhao Que'er mingling together, that's why I asked this question, don't think too much, I'm the most kind person, I never offend people easily!" Li Mu said righteously.

Yes, you never offend people easily, but once you offend, you will offend to death... Zhu'er sighed loudly, then got up and said: "I have already passed on your mother's words, Li Mu, you have to think twice, Before the end of the big tribute, tell the empress your answer, I will go back to the palace first."

"Zhu'er, walk slowly." Li Mu said.

"Ah, what else is there?" Zhu'er turned around.

"..." Li Mu twitched, and said, "When I say walk slowly, I want you to walk slowly and pay attention to safety on the road!"

"Oh, you didn't make it clear, hum." Zhu'er flicked her hair and left quickly.
