Once again, Fifth Aunty performed the ritual where the Lin Family was stationed. As the ashes fell to the floor, they formed a strange pattern. Subsequently, she pinched and analyzed it. After a while, she smiled and spoke to Lin Wan, “I found them. With a wooden pillow on a dagger-ax, the iron prisoner is roaming around. Thousands of miles to the north, with the Bone of Death around the body.”
“Where are Li Mu and the girls now?” Lin Wan asked excitedly.
“The wooden pillow on a dagger-ax refers to the railway! ‘The iron prisoner is roaming around’ means ‘an iron vehicle travels long distances’. They must have been on a train! ‘Thousands of miles to the north’ means ‘they are running up north’! ‘The Bone of Death around the body’ means ‘there is a Corpse of Death with the girls’. This line sounds weird and I’m not sure what exactly it means.”
The three of them understood what it meant though Fifth Aunty did not. However, nobody explaine
The severity of the situation at the scene was totally beyond the Cheng Family’s expectations.Mrs. Cheng thought that the robbers had only stolen the leg and arm bones. She did not expect them to take away everything. It was as if after one had finished eating the meats and drinking the soup, he licked the plate and left her with a clean empty plate. They did not only leave her an empty plate but had done something on the leftover bones. They had refined the bones so that no one could find the whereabouts of the stolen bones anymore. Third Uncle and Fifth Uncle blamed Lin Wan secretly and felt that she had gone overboard. Why did she take away the rib bones? Was she planning to change her bones? This move was totally unnecessary!In fact, their guess was correct. Lin Wan took the ribs for bone replacement, not for herself, but for He Xiaoyu. The legacy of the Cheng Family’s elder had been given to He Xiaoyu by Lin Wan as
“Brother Mu, do we still need to run away from them?” Shen Zixing asked seriously.Li Mu hesitated for a while and replied affirmatively, “Yeah. I will not take the initiative to seek peace with her. In that case, the Lin Family will persecute me for a lifetime. I am still in love with her but I don’t want to obey her in everything. My surname is Li and not Lin!”“Then, if you never meet her again, won’t you regret it?”“That only means that our relationship has come to an end. There is nothing to regret. And we are all set for our destiny!” Li Mu said profoundly.“Brother Mu, do we need a lot of money in the future?” Shen Ming’er asked suddenly. Li Mu nodded his head and replied solemnly, “Yes, we’ll need a lot of money. A lot of them. Without money, we can’t go anywhere.”“Brother Mu, we will have lots of money soon.” The girl said mysteriously. And after finishing speaking, she blinked at him.
The carriage left in a huff and stirred up a mist of snow. Li Mu was a little upset as he thought that the two sisters were fooling around.Frustrated, he asked, “Did the two of you hear what the old man just said?”“We heard him loud and clear!” The two sisters replied with a giggle.“Why did you still chase him away then? Didn’t you hear the old man say that it would be dangerous for us to go on any further? It’s not worth it for us to risk our lives for things like this!” Shen Ming’er said disdainfully, “Brother Mu, don’t listen to his nonsense. There is a mine protection labyrinth built by my family near the gold mine. Hence, many who went in couldn’t get out. But these don’t pose a danger to us. Just follow us!”“Are you sure it’s not dangerous at all?” Li Mu asked uneasily.Shen Zixing explained with a smile, “Brother Mu, there is also a labyrinth outside the Shen village. Did anything happ
Shen Ming'er stretched her tongue out cheekily to lick Li Mu's hand that was covered over her mouth.Li Mu hurriedly took his hand away and scolded in a low voice, “You brat. You're getting more and more reckless these days! How dare you tease me?”Cheekily, Shen Ming’er said, “Brother Mu, you can always tease me back! I promise I won’t scold you!”“Stop it. We’re in grave danger yet you still have the nerve to fool around!”“Don't worry, Brother Mu! They won't attack us. We have the amulet to protect our lives!”“What amulet?”“Duh, the Shen Family bloodline. My sister and I are both heirs of the Shen Family. These corpse puppets belong to the Shen Family and they will never attack their master.” Shen Ming’er said confidently.“True. Shen Ming'er is right. We are from the Shen Family and we bleed Shen Family’s blood. They wouldn’t dare to attack us and should be protecting us instead!
Li Mu bellowed, “Zixing, Ming'er, aim at its leg socket!”The two sisters responded together. And the entrenching shovels in their hands flew out, hitting the big guy right at its leg sockets. Although the big guy was invincible and invulnerable to swords and spears, it stumbled and fell on its knees due to the sudden impact.Li Mu who had leaped up a while ago landed behind the big guy as he descended. Swinging his entrenching shovel, he aimed a ferocious chop on the big guy's neck.However, the big guy’s head wasn’t chopped off. Instead, a few sparks sparked off the entrenching shovel as it flew out of Li Mu’s hand. The big guy was too strong for this!Li Mu's arm was slightly numb from the impact and he couldn't help but curse, “Holy sh*t!”“Honey!” Lin Wan shouted while rushing towards him.“Get back. It's dangerous!” Li Mu shouted for her to stop. Without waiting for the big guy to get up, he d
“I don't know. Master has never told us about it. My family has no written records about it either. It's my first time seeing it, and I'm not sure where it is from at all!” Shen Ming'er replied honestly. “Such a strange place. Such a strange village with such a strange dumb big guy!” Li Mu said resentfully. “Honey, how strange are you too? Who gave you permission to run away from me? I have a lot to ask you. Don’t think you can get away from this! Just wait!” Lin Wan couldn't help but complain.Li Mu grinned stiffly. He was so focused on running for his life that he forgot the trouble he was facing right now was equally hard to deal with. Maybe he should just go back and duel with that dumb big guy!While thinking about it, Shen Zixing who was leading the way suddenly shouted out, “Brother Mu, we are almost there! There are three boulders on the top of that mountain ahead and the entrance is underneath the boulders!”
The stones in the moonlight gave off sharp senses of vicissitude. Few people crammed on the small Zhongtian Stone and could barely fit, listening to the rustling of the forest around them. More and more corpse puppets and beasts began to appear gradually.The beasts and corpse puppets lifted their heads and roared at them. Some of the corpse puppets and beasts tried to climb up the rocks, only to fall off. They weren’t a threat to them at all.After a while, the big guy finally appeared along with its huge thumping sound of footsteps.It obviously did not expect this to happen, either. Hence, it looked down and pondered for a long time before raising its head to look at Li Mu and the others.“Hey, big guy. Can we have a quick talk?” Li Mu shouted to it.The big guy walked underneath the boulder and looked up at him.Li Mu squatted down and said to him, “My friend, are you familiar with the Shen Fami
Checking the equipment they had, Li Mu realized that all they had was a rucksack with two torches, a sleeping bag, five packs of compressed biscuits, three packs of solid fuel, plus a set of ropes, two entrenching tools, and a dozen slabs of chocolate.They were seriously lacking resources. And with so many people, this number of items they had was simply not enough. Most importantly, they had no water or any container to fill water with.Seeing him in a dilemma, Mrs. Hong spoke up and asked, “What's wrong?”Li Mu briefly described the situation and Mrs. Hong smiled and said, “Don't worry about this. I have a solution to get us clean water.”Li Mu was delighted at her words and looked at her curiously.“Turn around, will you? Don't stare at me!” Mrs. Hong said a little shyly.Li Mu didn't move at all and continued to stare at her. "It's just the cultivation technique! I’ve seen enough
