She is a taciturn person and doesn't have any other thoughts.
It is a cage that imprisons freedom.
The man laughed proudly and said, "Of course, brother, you must have been mesmerized by the Heavenly Road of Taixu Mountain. How could you forget your original intention?"
After saying that, the man pointed to the twenty or so people behind him. Each of them was wearing sharp weapons and carrying sufficient luggage as they set out on the Tongtian Road.
Of course, not all of them are elite martial artists seeking to learn, there are also ordinary middle-aged men who are desperate.
His face was worried, but his eyes were extremely determined, as if he was determined to reach the top of the mountain.
I guess something must have happened at home, and he wanted to ask the immortal for help.
"Among us are warriors seeking to learn, and ordinary people seeking elixirs to save their families' lives."
"The Tongtian Road is also known as the Jiuyou Road. The slightest carelessness can lead to death. From ancient times to the present, those who have reached the summit have all been unrivaled and are celebrities of their time. Therefore, we travel together so that we can look after each other. We might even reach the summit and pay our respects to the Immortal Chiyuan."
"Brother, your expression just now was probably due to the illusion on the Tongtian Road. Don't take it seriously."
The man spoke tactfully and seriously, explaining his purpose and the dangers of Tongtian Road, and seemed to want Li Mo to join their team.
Li Mo paused, then opened his mouth, ready to pour a bucket of cold water on everyone: "Thank you for the reminder. As a friend, I also have some suggestions."
He had no aversion to these people. Even if they were just casual acquaintances, Li Mo did not want them to die at the hands of a strange person.
That would be troublesome...
"Oh, brother, if there is something we don't know, please tell us directly." The man said enthusiastically.
"...I can't help you with your studies or medicine, but even if you reach the summit, you might not be able to find it. The conditions atop the mountain are definitely not as ethereal and noble as you've heard in the city."
"I'm pretty sure that if you insist on climbing to the summit, not only will you not get what you want, but you won't be able to make it down alive, and there won't be more than a handful of you left."
Li Mo said in a serious tone that he actually had some reservations.
If I don't intervene, none of these people will survive.
The thermometer has already reached zero degrees just in the middle of the Tongtian Road. Going higher will only lead to more horrors.
As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, laughter broke out from the crowd.
"Hahaha! Brother, you're underestimating us. Do you know that most of us are sect leaders or direct disciples?"
"This has nothing to do with your strength." Li Mo said lightly.
"Brother, you are so arrogant. Have you already reached the summit and seen the scenery? Otherwise, how dare you lie like that?"
"I haven't reached the summit, but I will reach the summit." Li Mo sighed calmly. He had already anticipated what everyone would say next.
How dare you talk about the scenery of the mountain when you haven't even seen it?
He couldn't stop it.
Sure enough, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Li Mo's answer.
"Brother, you are underestimating us. Although we are just mortals, we aspire to be on par with the immortals. The complicated shackles of the mortal world cannot hold us back."
“If you have never even seen the scenery of the mountains, you can never speak so arrogantly.”
"Besides, brother, you want to reach the summit yourself, how can you stop us?"
Seeing this, Li Mo had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and make way: "Sorry, I take back what I said just now, please."
It might not be a bad thing to have someone exploring the strange rules for him. Although it is not very humane, in the face of strangeness, human ethics and morality are nothing.
Li Mo followed closely behind the crowd without saying a word.
At this time, the man who had just woken up Li Mo walked up to him and asked curiously:
"Brother, your hands are clearly empty, why do you seem to be holding a sword?"
The man stared at Li Mo's right hand for a long time, and found it so strange that he couldn't help asking.
Li Mo was slightly stunned and looked down. It looked like his right hand was holding a sword, but in fact there was nothing in it.
The backpack Li Mo wore this time was not big. The large space was just for holding the human head ghost, otherwise a waist bag would be enough.
Therefore, from a visual perspective, Li Mo did not have any weapons on his body, and the pistol at his waist was covered by his clothes.
"Oh, I see. It must be the Tongtian Road illusion that caused you to hallucinate. The sword is probably lost and can't be found. Sigh..."
Seeing that Li Mo had no weapons on him, the man came up with a reasonable possibility.
"By the way, what's your name, brother?"
The man was very concerned about Li Mo, who had just joined the team. His intuition told him that it was definitely not easy for the other party to walk to the middle of Tongtian Road alone.
Perhaps the other party knew more than he did.
Even if he didn't feel the flow of Qi in the other person's body...
Li Mo casually said, "Just call me Mingyue, what about you?"
The man answered generously, "I don't change my surname or name, so you can call me Changle. I am a martial artist without any sect or school. I am here to get the anti-aging medicine for my wife and please her."
Li Mo looked at the other person carefully. He looked to be only in his twenties, an age full of passion.
But would you embark on such a dangerous journey just for the anti-aging medicine?
Li Mo didn't believe it.
Changle, Mingyue, obviously neither of them used their real names.
Li Mo didn't use his real name to avoid the weirdness of calling people, and the other party probably didn't use his real name to prevent his true identity from being revealed.
"Brother Mingyue is not from Shenzhou, right?" Changle asked.
"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count."
"Haha, although Brother Mingyue and I speak the same language, his manner of speaking and clothing are very different from ours. I don't think he is from our Shenzhou either. I wonder why Brother Mingyue is risking his life to pay his respects to the Immortal Chiyuan?"
Changle's way of speaking easily makes people feel at ease. The first half of the sentence brings people closer, while the real purpose inadvertently emerges in the casual tone.
Li Mo quickly guessed something in his mind.
He is trying to trick me. The first half of the sentence is not important, the second half is important.
The awe and respect this guy showed when he mentioned the Immortal Chiyuan didn't seem fake.
It is different from what ordinary people say due to their beliefs and faith, and it is more solemn.
"Looking for someone." Li Mo answered simply.
"Haha, yes, we are both looking for someone, but we are looking for the Immortal Chiyuan. Is it the same for Brother Mingyue?" Changle asked, looking at Li Mo from time to time to observe his expression.
"No, I'm just looking for a friend..."
Before he finished speaking, a commotion came from the front of the crowd, which immediately attracted the attention of Changle and Li Mo.
"Dead! Dead!"
Hearing this, Li Mo frowned and felt a little guilty.
It's not that I feel guilty about the death, but I feel guilty for not seeing clearly how he died at the first time.
This killing pattern finally appeared, and I actually missed it! ?
"Make way, make way..." Li Mo quickly pushed through the crowd and walked to the dead person in front.
Changle followed closely behind, watching Li Mo's every move.
A thin ordinary person, probably not a warrior, without a single wound on his body, suddenly died on the road, leaving people completely puzzled.
"Who is he and how did he die?" Li Mo asked the crowd.
"An ordinary person, not a warrior. The purpose of this trip is to obtain elixirs that can prolong life." Changle replied immediately.
Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Changle meaningfully, and said, "You remember it very clearly... We know the identity, but what about the cause of death?"
Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that no one paid attention to the situation of an ordinary person at all.
After a long time, no one came forward to explain the situation.
"Forget it, I don't need you to tell me, I already know how he died."
Li Mo patiently unbuttoned the deceased's coat and took off the plain coarse cloth from the deceased.
The next second, the originally rough coat instantly turned into an exquisite gray shroud, and the material used was very strange and very soft.
The clothes were wrapped with red ropes, and there were marks of ligatures on the deceased's neck, wrists and waist.
"Brother Mingyue, what exactly happened? Why did the clothes suddenly turn into a shroud for the dead?" Changle pinched his nose and couldn't help asking.
The clothes emitted a strong stench of corpse, which was very pungent.
Li Mo took out the strange pistol and set the shroud on fire.
"Is this Huo Tong?" Someone in the crowd recognized the pistol.
The blue-purple flames boiled and sparks flew, as if fighting against something.
After a few minutes, the flames died down, but the shroud remained intact.
"Tsk!" Li Mo put the pistol back into his waist and quickly threw the shroud from the Tongtian Road to the edge of the cliff.
Then, without saying a word, he rushed towards the top of the mountain in panic, leaving everyone wandering there at a loss.
"What is he doing? He actually threw away the only clue! Doesn't he want us to know the cause of death?"
"Why are you running so fast on Tongtian Road? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? This is not an ordinary road. The faster you run, the faster you die..."
Tongtian Road
Changle paused for a second, gritted his teeth, and without caring about the experience of his ancestors who had climbed to the top of Tongtian Road, he quickly caught up with Li Mo.
Everyone looked at each other. Several men in black chased Changle without hesitation, a few chose to follow Li Mo, and most of them continued to move forward slowly at their original speed.
The sudden strangeness made everyone avoid the corpse for fear of violating taboos.
When everyone turned the corner, the dead body suddenly stood up again, shaking uncontrollably and swaying the red rope.
The eye-catching red rope became even paler under the sunlight, and the color on it faded at an extremely fast speed, as if it was attracting something obscene.
The shrunken and decaying face gradually deformed, the hair on the body grew rapidly, and the huge body began to shrink, with a noticeable hunchback appearing...
The mouth bulges into a pointed beak, and the mustache elongates into tiny cat whiskers.
Gray hair grew on the back of his head.
"Brother Mingyue! Brother Mingyue! Run slower. What on earth happened?"
Changle finally caught up with Li Mo and asked breathlessly.
Li Mo said sullenly, his face stern: "In the middle of summer, don't you find it strange that someone is wearing such thick clothes? And he's even wearing a hat to hide his presence."
Changle: "Isn't this strange? It's normal for cautious warriors to wear thick clothes in the summer to cover up hidden weapons and secret items on their bodies. The hat is for sun protection, right?"
"The deceased did not have what you said."
Chapter 2 Cat-faced Granny
Changle: "What if you forgot?"
Li Mo: "How could you forget something so important? What's the difference between that and forgetting your ID card for the college entrance exam?"
Changle: "Gaokao, ID card? What are those?"
Li Mo: "You don't need to know. I just looked at the body carefully. It was wrapped in such thick clothes. As an ordinary person, the deceased didn't even break a sweat. What other explanation is needed?"
Changle: "This..."
All of a sudden, everyone realized that the corpse on the ground didn't even have a drop of sweat. Warriors can adjust their physical condition, but as an ordinary person, how could the deceased not sweat at all while climbing a mountain in such hot weather?
unless……
"He was wearing a hat and had his head lowered, so you didn't see his eyes at all. I just checked, and the lens was very cloudy and diffuse, indicating that this person died a few days ago."
"You are carrying a dead man on the road. Tell me, I really want to know what road you are taking."
Li Mo made an unpleasant accusation. He had been distracted by Changle before and did not notice the strangeness of some people in the crowd.
Ghosts cannot feel hot or cold, and do not have basic human physiological characteristics, including vision.
The eyes of the dead are very insensitive to light, but they have extremely strong insight into certain things in certain scenes.
For example, lights in the dark, the sound of wind chimes, and eye-catching red ropes.
