I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 837 The Secret of Forgetting.

Jun Jiuling paused in his complicated hand gestures, and the peach petals circling around his body suddenly froze in mid-air.

???

Is this considered a... hidden weapon? Li Mu lowered his head and glanced at the dead branch in his hand.

Li Mu gently squeezed the "ordinary" dead branch and it turned into powder immediately.

"Could it be..." Jun Jiuling turned his head silently and looked towards the room where Li Ji was resting. There was an unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.

"Thank you."

As imagined, Li Mu was possessed by the mulberry branch and the incident where the Nine Netherworld Fire corroded his soul did not happen.

"Huh." She let out a long sigh and slumped back on the couch.

The spiritual essence condensed around the body slowly dissipated.

"Jiu'er?"

At this time, Li Mu called out softly in his heart and looked at Xuanjizi vigilantly.

He felt the anxiety in Jun Jiuling's tone just now, and the tremendous power of Xun Meng ready to move in the palm of his hand.

"No, it's okay. I thought this bull nose was going to harm you..."

Seeing that Li Mu became suspicious, Jun Jiuling quickly found a plausible excuse.

It is not a good idea to let Li Mu know about Li Ji’s affairs for the time being.

Old BABY is really caring more and more about me... Li Mu was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

In the past, unless it was a life-and-death situation, old babies would just watch the show.

It's not like now, where people get anxious at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Senior, what does this mean?"

Li Mu tilted his head slightly and looked at Xuanjizi with some unfriendly eyes.

"Wha, what?"

A rare look of confusion appeared on Xuanjizi's shriveled face.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands, but he couldn't remember what to do for a moment.

This feeling of helplessness was something he had never experienced in his more than a hundred years of life.

"Young friend, why don't you take a rest in the temple first. Old Taoist, I need to... need to think about it."

...

Qingfeng Temple, a room in a wing.

Li Mu slumped in the chair, recalling the conversation he had just had with Xuanjizi in the cave.

Obviously we had a good chat before.

Was it because I was too aggressive?

Judging from the conversation, Xuanjizi was obviously preparing to give himself some "sweetness" to stabilize himself.

How did it become a sudden test?

Or is it the kind that doesn't hurt or itch?

Li Mu was a little confused. Perhaps Xuanjizi's "you will know after trying" meant "you can try it".

Are you planning to threaten me with force?

Was it because the old immortal was overrated, or was it because he himself was too strong, that caused him to give up the idea of ​​using force to coerce?

Li Mu took this stance because he wanted to gain more benefits, but he didn't want the matter to really fall through.

After all, from the very beginning, Li Mu had made up his mind to "take the benefits but not do the work".

The ability to enter the realm of rank without relying on the Green Lotus Transformation Technique was very attractive to Li Mu.

"My lord, is the old immortal really in that cave?"

At this time, Xu Doudou, who was squatting beside Li Mu and massaging his legs, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He raised his head and tried cautiously.

"Your Majesty?"

Li Mu was stunned, still a little uncomfortable with this title.

He lowered his eyes to glance at Xu Doudou's blushing cheeks, raised his hand to lift her chin, and said jokingly,

"My beloved concubine is interested?"

"Yeah." Xu Doudou lowered her head shyly, mouthing the word "bastard", but her face looked timid.

In the past, when Li Mu was still the Crown Prince of Yan, she didn't feel anything.

I thought being the Crown Prince’s Consort was just like that.

However, the scene in the Qingfeng Temple's main hall today made her realize that Li Mu's identity was no longer the same as before.

If she wants to keep her position as a concubine, she can no longer act like a "wild girl".

Li Mu naturally had no idea what she was thinking. He exerted a little force and pulled her into his arms. He sniffed the fragrance of the girl and stopped talking.

...

Back mountain, waterfall cave.

Shan Yang bowed to Xuan Ji Zi, "Master."

"sit down."

Xuanjizi didn't look up, but raised his wrist, and a cushion fell steadily in front of Shanyang.

"Master, did he agree?"

Shanyang frowned, walked forward and sat cross-legged on the cushion, his tone a little anxious.

"Where is your junior brother?"

Xuanjizi did not answer directly, but turned to ask Shanyuan.

"Junior brother is resting in the house. He said that Li Mu probably doesn't want to see him, so he won't come out to avoid being an eyesore."

Shan Yang spoke calmly and didn't think there was anything wrong with Shan Yuan's words.

Xuanjizi raised his head and stared at Shanyang with deep eyes.

Just now, he seemed to be planning to plant the 'Dao Wood' directly into Li Mu's body.

As long as Li Mu has felt that power, things will be much easier afterwards.

However, just before he was about to take action, his memory was disconnected.

Xuanjizi had lived for more than a hundred years, and he realized almost instantly that this was the "Forget Word Tactics" in the "Trinity Method".

In the entire Renzong, only the three of them, the master and his disciples, have mastered the "Forget Word Technique".

Xuanjizi couldn't help but suspect that it was his two good disciples who had tampered with the matter.

After re-examining everything, he found a loophole.

The Human Sect only has one "Tao Wood", which was planted on his little disciple more than ten years ago in order to prolong Shan Yuan's life.

Therefore, he had no 'Dao Wood' to give to Li Mu.

"Shan Yang, half a year ago, your master ordered you to go down the mountain and bring your third junior brother back to the mountain. Why didn't you bring him back?"

"Third Junior Brother?" Shan Yang was stunned. He thought, didn't this matter already pass? Why is it being brought up again now?

But the mistake had already been made, so he could only bite the bullet and repeat what he had said.

"Master, Daomu's body building cannot directly break through that layer of shackles. Since he is the one chosen by heaven to break through, he must have had his chance."

"So my junior brother and I took the initiative to give him the "Hidden Blade Art" and the "Three-One Method" and wait until the time is right..."

Xuanjizi listened and nodded secretly. He remembered these things and he did agree with this statement at that time.

But I still feel something is wrong.

The biggest flaw is that the Human Sect does not have the "Dao Wood" to give to Li Mu.

Could it be that he wanted to wait for Li Mu to enter the realm on his own?

Then what was his purpose in coming here to find Li Mu today?

Xuanjizi became more and more annoyed, feeling that he had been tricked by his own disciple.

"So now, is the time ripe?"

Xuanjizi suppressed his anger, and his wide Taoist robe fluttered without wind.

Seeing this, Shan Yang and his cushion moved back several meters.

He has never seen such a master since he came of age.

Obviously he was really angry.

Shan Yang swallowed his saliva, lowered his head slightly, and said with some hesitation,

"Li Mu has now entered the realm of 'inaction'. This is the best time. If he uses 'Dao Wood' as his foundation and follows the ancient books to forge his body with the thunder of the wilderness..."

"So, you also agree to take the Dao Wood out of your junior brother?"

Xuanjizi's voice was low, not like asking for his opinion, but more like questioning.

"What?" Shan Yang exclaimed and looked at Xuan Jizi blankly.

Yes, isn’t the ‘Dao Mu’ on my junior brother?

Shanyang was a little dazed, and his pupils gradually lost focus.

He never seemed to have considered the question.

At this time, there were slight footsteps coming from outside the cave.

The master and disciple looked at each other and looked towards the cave entrance together.

Shan Yuan was holding a lunch box in his hand and walked briskly, "Senior Brother is here too? That's perfect..."
