Does this old man suffer from persecution delusions
Yang Ning said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense. You, an old thief, hurt me and now you want to kill me. How are we going to settle the score?" Always be on guard against Mu Lao suddenly making a move.
Mu Lao stared at the scroll in Yang Ning's hand, silent for a moment, and finally said: "Hand over the scroll, I will heal your injuries and let you go. I keep my word and will never lie to you. "
Believe it or not.
"Mr. Mu, I'm afraid you already remember this scroll so well in your heart, what else do you want with it?" Yang Ning said, "Don't you understand this scroll yet?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Lao's voice was cold.
Yang Ning sneered and said, "If I'm not wrong, your sudden madness in the cave must have something to do with this scroll." He rolled his eyes, "Could it be that you have become obsessed with practicing the Liuhe magic skill and want to get out of here?" Can you find a way to crack it in the scroll?"
He just said it casually, but Mu Lao's expression changed drastically and he lost his voice: "You... how do you know?" As soon as he said the words, he knew that he had made a mistake and immediately sneered: "How can I be obsessed with this? You are talking nonsense. What."
Yang Ning was already sure that his guess was correct. From this point of view, this picture scroll was really important to Mu Lao. He felt a little more confident in his heart. He touched his chin and said, "You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not." Very. By the way, you couldn’t move around before. It was probably not because you were poisoned, but also because you were obsessed, right? "
Mu Lao took a deep breath and then said: "Little White Rabbit, do you know who I am?"
"have no idea."
Mu Lao sneered: "Have you ever heard of Jiutian Tower?"
"Jiutian Tower?" Yang Ning frowned and said, "What is that thing?"
Mu Lao was a little angry, but he still held back his temper and said, "You haven't heard of it, so that's not surprising. I tell you that Jiutian Tower is the first building of the Northern Han Dynasty. It is under the direct control of His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and recruits talents. , there are so many masters, I am the Wood God Lord, one of the Five Elements God Lords of Jiutian Tower!"
"Mu Shenjun?" Yang Ning said with a smile: "This name is much more prestigious than the title of Mu Lao. By the way, Mu... Mu Shenjun, you are from the Northern Han Dynasty, what are you doing on the ground of Nan Chu?"
Mu Lao did not answer, but said grimly: "As long as you hand over the scroll, I can not only let you go, but also accept you as a disciple and let you join the Jiutian Tower. The people in the Jiutian Tower receive official salary, not only You can have enough food and clothing, and if you perform meritorious service in the future, you can be promoted to a higher position and honor your ancestors." He smiled and said, "Little White Rabbit, I give you this opportunity, are you willing to follow me?"
Yang Ning knew that Mu Lao was trying to lure her, and secretly thought that this old monster really regarded her as a child. At this time, she only hoped to exchange this scroll for the other party to heal her injuries, and then escape from this guy's clutches alive. She was thinking to herself, Mu Lao Taking a step forward, he said in a deep voice: "What are you still hesitating about?"
Yang Ning immediately took a small step back and said, "You can have a scroll if you want, but...!" Before he could finish his words, he felt his feet loosen, and the stone he was standing on unexpectedly came loose, and his whole body was already sinking. , Yang Ning was shocked. He saw Mu Lao running towards him, and he wanted to push out hard. It was okay if he didn't use force. When he used force, the rocks on the edge of the rock poured down, and his whole body also fell with the pouring stones. Go down.
Yang Ning never expected that the stone under his feet was so unstable. He was falling rapidly in mid-air. At this time, he only hoped to catch something to survive, but his right hand was still holding the scroll, and his left hand grabbed something, which seemed to be a vine. This was life-saving Straw, Yang Ning naturally did not dare to let go.
The body is still falling, the wind is whistling in the ears, and the vines in the palms are painful.
The cliff was steep, not vertically up and down, but with a slight slope. Therefore, relying on the terrain, the fall was finally slowed down. Yang Ning used all her strength to grasp her right hand, and her body was finally hanging in the air.
He was breathing heavily, kicking wildly, and finally stepped onto the steep rocks of the cliff. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. The night wind blew, and his whole body felt cold. It turned out that his whole body was already dripping with cold sweat.
Faintly hearing the voice of Lord Mu Shen coming from above, Yang Ning looked up, only to see the stars shining in the night sky. For a moment, he couldn't see the top of the cliff. When he looked down, it was also dark below, and he felt He knew that he was in a place where he couldn't go up or down, but there were vines all over the cliff, hanging down one by one. Fortunately, these vines, otherwise he would definitely die.
He put the scroll in his hand into his arms first, held the vine with both hands, and exerted a little force. He felt a sharp pain in the palm of his right hand. He looked at it and found that his right hand was already torn and bloody, and his whole body was also in sharp pain. The body was cut with numerous small cuts.
Yang Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head. He originally thought that crossing Niutou Ridge was a shortcut, but now he realized that not only was it not a shortcut, it almost turned into a dead end for him.
His body was pressed against the mountain wall, and he was not worried about his life for a while. Mu Lao's voice came from above from time to time, and Yang Ning would naturally not agree.
Of course the old ghost is not worried about his own life or death, he is just worried about the Liuhe Magic Scroll.
However, Mu Lao's mood at this time must have been extremely desperate. The scroll followed him and fell into the cliff. The old guy probably even wanted to die.
After a long time, Mu Lao's voice was no longer heard. Yang Ning pulled a vine to make sure it was firm and strong, then endured the pain in his palms and climbed up.
Rock climbing was also one of the training subjects in the past, and Yang Ning was no stranger to it.
He didn't want to climb to the top of the cliff immediately, but just tried to see if he could climb up. Although Mu Shenjun had lost his voice, Yang Ning never believed that he would leave so easily. He was probably still waiting on the top of the cliff. .
After climbing for a while, my palms hurt so much that I could only stop. Suddenly, I found something strange behind the vines. I used my hands to peel away the dead branches of the vines, only to find that there was a crack behind the vines. This was a natural crack on the mountain wall. , hidden behind vines, it’s really hard to spot if you don’t look carefully.
The crack wasn't wide, but it was big enough for a person to easily slip through.
Hanging on the mountain wall at all times is naturally very dangerous. Yang Ning did not hesitate, grabbed the vines and pushed over, approaching the crack, immediately grabbed the rocks beside the crack, and jumped in.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary crack that opened between the mountain walls. After jumping in, he discovered that the crack was extremely deep, penetrating deep into the mountain. It was pitch black in front of him, and he didn't know how long it was.
He bent down and picked up a stone on the ground and held it in his hand. Then he walked lightly inside and walked about ten steps. It was pitch dark all around and he couldn't see anything. He held the stone in one hand and stretched out his other hand in front to explore. The road is getting deeper and deeper, and the cracks are getting narrower and narrower.
Yang Ning thought it would end soon, but after walking for a long time, the crack seemed to have no end, it just curved around, and the road kept sloping downward.
After walking for less than half an hour, the trail that was like a sheep intestine suddenly widened, and then the sound of water flowing from the front was faintly heard.
Yang Ning quickened his pace, and not long after, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of him. Yang Ning was shocked and ran over. Soon, a larger hole appeared in front of him. Yang Ning quickly walked in. Although it was quite dark inside, But it's no longer as dark as before.
This is a very empty cave, surrounded by walls on three sides, and one side is open, with a curtain of water pouring down outside, blocking the view outside.
Only then did Yang Ning realize that the sound of water flowing just heard was the waterfall pouring down in front of him.
This waterfall was much weaker than the opposite waterfall that Yang Ning saw on the top of the cliff, but it completely sealed the open side.
The light shines through the waterfall curtain, but at this time, you can also see that it is already dim outside.
Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect such a place to exist here. He was exhausted at this time. He walked to the edge of the waterfall, stretched out his hand to wash the blood on his hands, took a few sips of the water, and it tasted sweet and natural. Shanquan then sat down and pulled off a piece of clothing, wrapped his injured right hand, then lay back and closed his eyes.
It was a thrilling night, and he almost died in the mountains. At this time, he was extremely tired both physically and mentally. He felt sore all over his body. He lay on the ground and soon fell asleep.
He slept so soundly that the sound of the waterfall did not affect him at all. When he woke up and sat up, he saw a burst of glow in front of him, which was colorful. It turned out that the water vapor at the waterfall reflected the sun, forming a faint rainbow, which was beautiful. , the light shines in, but it is very bright.
Yang Ning regained a lot of energy. He looked down and saw a waterfall pouring down. Only about ten meters away, there was a pool. The waterfall fell into it and stirred up waves, which was very spectacular.
"You've escaped with your life." Yang Ning muttered, stood up and stretched, then turned around. It was dark last night, coupled with the exhaustion of energy, he only took a general look, and then he realized that this was a very wide place. In the stone room, there is a large oval stone placed in the center of the stone room. The table is quite smooth, but covered with thick dust, just like a table. There is a straw mat beside the big stone, but It was already rotting away, and there was a flat box placed on the table.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the stone chamber.
He glanced around, his body trembled suddenly, his expression suddenly changed, and he saw a skeleton in a corner of the stone room.
Yang Ning clenched his fists reflexively, slowly approached, and looked carefully. He saw that the skeleton was obviously sitting cross-legged on the ground. There was also a straw mat under the skeleton, but like the straw mat beside the stone table, it was also rotten. , there are still clothes hanging on the skeleton, but most of them are weathered and dilapidated.
"It turns out that this stone chamber had an owner for a long time." Yang Ning thought to himself: "I just don't know how he died here? The body has now turned into white bones. It seems that this person has been dead for a long time."
