Chapter 21: Liquor shop

Yang Ning's Tanzhong acupuncture point was tumbling, but Mu Shenjun felt that his whole body was gradually exhausted.

After all, he was superb in martial arts, but at this time he had already understood something. His pale face showed a look of shock, and he lost his voice and said: "You... are you Liuhe... Liuhe magic skill?" At this time, his voice was weak and full of shock. fear.

After Yang Ning fell off the cliff, Mu Shenjun was really desperate at first, but he was unwilling to leave just like that. Naturally, he didn't care about Yang Ning's life and death, but he was unwilling to lose the "Liuhe Magic Skill" that he had worked so hard for.

The most important thing is that, as Yang Ning had expected, Mu Shenjun did undergo drastic changes in his body due to practicing the "Liuhe Divine Art". Although he has not yet reached the point of becoming obsessed, it is not far away.

Lord Mu Shen naturally knew that to untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Although he knew the meridians of the eleven pictures in the scroll, he thought that the scroll was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and he was afraid that there was another mystery hidden in it. , if he wants to return to normal, he must find a way from the scroll.

He searched around the cliff day and night, staying awake for days. Although he finally met Yang Ning, he was exhausted at this time, and his mind was even a little dazed. After Yang Ning continuously introduced his internal energy to the Tanzhong point, Mu Shenjun didn't even think about the strangeness at first. Instead, he wanted to use more powerful internal force to kill Yang Ning.

In this way, it is counterproductive.

If Mu Shenjun had stopped in time before Yang Ning's meridians were opened, he could have easily avoided being sucked away by Yang Ning.

Although Mu Shenjun knew that the Liuhe Divine Art was exquisite, in fact, just like Yang Ning, he did not know where the true meaning of the Liuhe Divine Art was.

If he hadn't coveted Yang Ning's carefree walking style and slapped Yang Ning on the side of the head with his palm, Yang Ning would have had no chance of surviving.

The current predicament was caused by himself.

His hand happened to rest on Yang Ning's shoulder, and the shoulder was one of the eleven places for practicing the Liuhe magic skill.

If he just put it on his shoulder, that would be fine, but in order to force him out of Xiaoyao Xing, he used his internal power to torture Yang Ning. Without this internal power, Yang Ning would not be able to use that internal power to open up the meridians, nor would he As for letting Mu Shenjun's internal energy surge out like a river bursting its embankment.

At this time, he understood and knew that this was caused by Liuhe Magic, but it was already too late.

His left hand was stuck to Yang Ning's shoulder and could not be removed. Mu Shenjun wanted to raise his right hand to kill Yang Ning, but he felt that his whole body was limp and powerless, and he could not lift his right arm at all.

All of his internal energy was sucked away by Yang Ning along his left hand. It was no longer possible to mobilize the remaining internal energy in his body to his right hand.

Naturally, Yang Ning didn't know how Mu Shenjun was feeling at this time. He only guided his internal energy to the Tanzhong point in order to relieve the expansion of his meridians. He only thought that Mu Shenjun was going to kill him with his internal power, but he didn't know that he was absorbing Mu Shenjun now. Yang Ning also thought that it was Mu Shenjun's fault as he felt the burning pain in his Tanzhong acupoint.

At this time, my head was spinning, and I just thought that I would definitely die in the hands of Mu Shenjun this time. My legs were weak, and I had already sat down on the ground, but Mu Shenjun also fell to the ground.

Yang Ning leaned against the big tree next to him, feeling that his body would feel a little more comfortable in this way. Mu Shenjun's hand was still on his shoulder. Yang Ning thought that there was no way to escape, and he became even more dizzy. , the chest was so tight that he actually fainted.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yang Ning woke up and turned around. It was very quiet all around, and the faint moonlight was falling. Yang Ning thought he was dead, but when he looked around, he found that Wu Zi was still in the woods, and turned to look to the side. After taking a look, his color suddenly changed.

Behind him, he saw Lord Mu Shen lying on his back, but at this time, Lord Mu Shen was no longer the Lord Mu Shen that Yang Ning knew.

Just looking at Mu Shenjun's arm, it looked like a dead branch. Although his skin was shriveled before, it was not like it is now. At this time, the arm was already skin and bones, and seemed to have no flesh and blood.

That face is even more terrifying.

It is as if it is just a piece of human skin wrapped around the skull. The edges and corners of the skull are clearly visible. The eye sockets have been sunken deeply, like two dark holes. Mu Shenjun's entire body, no matter from which angle it is viewed, is undoubtedly like a mummy. , if it weren't for the shabby gray robe draped around her body, Yang Ning wouldn't have been able to recognize that this was Lord Mu Shen.

In this state, it is naturally impossible to live. He is already dead and cannot die again.

Yang Ning took a breath of air, calmed her mind, and after thinking about it, she vaguely felt that Mu Shenjun's current mummy appearance seemed to have a lot to do with her.

He was already smart. He couldn't think too much when he was in crisis before. Now he calmed down and thought about Mu Shenjun calling out "Liuhe Divine Art" before he fainted. He thought to himself, could it be that Liuhe Divine Art played a role in Mu Shenjun's end

He remembered that in order to relieve the pain, he guided the internal force to the Tanzhong point. Could it be that it was for this reason that Mu Shenjun was like this.

Mu Shenjun's martial arts are naturally great. Yang Ning thought that he would definitely die when he met him, but now when he saw Mu Shenjun turned into a mummy lying on the ground, and the one who survived in the end turned out to be himself, he felt like he was dreaming. I just feel that this result is really suspicious.

Thinking of the burning feeling in the Tanzhong acupoint before, Yang Ning couldn't help but reach out and touch the acupoint. At this time, there was no discomfort at all, and she was slightly relieved.

Mu Shenjun was dead, but Yang Ning did not feel excited, but instead became worried.

Mu Shenjun had injured his eight extraordinary meridians and had another attack since then. According to the old ghost, if his eight extraordinary meridians could not be treated in time, they would gradually wither and die.

Now that the old ghost is dead, he doesn't know how to recover from his injuries.

However, there has been no recurrence of the attack in the past few days. Yang Ning wondered whether the last attack was just an accident caused by fatigue, or whether his injury was not as serious as Mu Shenjun said.

The biggest threat has been eliminated, and Yang Ning still feels a little relaxed. After being delayed in the mountains for many days, the escort team should have taken Xiaodie far away.

But until the last moment, Yang Ning will not give up. After all, it is about the fate of his life. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Yang Ning will persevere.

Although it has been delayed for a while, it has only been about ten days since Xiaodie left Huize City. According to the journey, it can only be more than halfway. If she walks on foot, of course there is no hope of catching up, but if she can Finding a fast horse may not mean you have no chance.

The first thing to do now is to cross this mountain range.

Naturally, Yang Ning was no stranger to the subject of survival in the wild. He easily made a simple compass and figured out the direction. He was about to continue walking south when he suddenly thought of something. He returned to the mummy of Mu Shenjun and put his hand on his clothes. Touched inside.

The old man didn't have many things on him. Apart from a money bag containing some broken silver, he only had an oval bronze medal with very fine workmanship.

On the front of the bronze medal is engraved the word "Jiutian Tower", while on the back is engraved a large word "木", and in the corner is the word "Qin Ming".

Yang Ning remembered that the old ghost mentioned Jiutian Tower, which was said to be under the control of the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and had many experts.

Now it seems that Mu Shenjun did not deceive himself in this matter. This bronze medal proves that this person is indeed the Mu Shenjun of Jiutianlou, and the word "Qinming" may really have something to do with the Northern Han Dynasty court. There is a connection.

However, Yang Ning naturally had no interest in this inexplicable Jiutian Tower. He also felt that keeping this sign in his hand would be a disaster, so he threw it aside and left with only the money bag.

All the way south, at noon on the third day, we finally walked out of Niutou Ridge. Just after we came down the mountain, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, the clouds became dense, and in just a moment, it started to rain.

Yang Ning secretly cried out that he was unlucky. He was surrounded by vast wilderness. He could not go back to the mountains to hide from the rain, so he could only go forward in the rain. The rain did not stop until dusk. Yang Ning was soaked in the rain. Fortunately, After walking for half a day in the drizzle, we have already turned onto the official road.

The sky was getting dark and drizzle was falling. I walked along the official road for a while, and suddenly I saw a house appearing in the drizzle in front of me. I thought I could go there to take shelter from the rain, so I quickened my pace.

As I approached the house, I discovered that there were four or five carriages parked in front of the house. The carriages seemed to be loaded with goods and were covered with raincloths. There were also seven or eight horses tied to the hitching posts beside the house.

There was a small flag erected on the corner of those carriages, but in the drizzle, the flag was soaked and drooped, and it was difficult to see what was written on it.

Yang Ning's heart suddenly tightened.

He approached one of the carriages, turned around and took a look at the house, and found that it was actually a temporary wine shop on the roadside. It was much larger than the simple tea shed he saw last time. He wanted to see people coming and going on the official road. , there should be many such temporary shops.

"Hey, little beggar, get away!" Yang Ning was about to reach out and pull open the flag on the car to see what was written on it, when he heard a rough voice coming over, "You can move that? What if the dart is moved? Qi, I’m going to chop off your hand, do you want to give it a try?”

Yang Ning's body trembled slightly. He had some doubts, but after listening to what the man said, he was sure that this was indeed an escort team.

He was suddenly excited, but it cooled down instantly.

Although the escort team is an escort team, there are not a few escort teams traveling on this official road, and according to time calculation, the escort team that took Xiaodie away has been at least three or four days away from here. The escort car in front of us , I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the escort team that took Xiaodie away.

And it didn't look like there was anyone on the escort car.

He turned around and looked over, only to see a burly man standing in front of the wine shop, holding a cooked copper rod in his hand and looking at him coldly.

Yang Ning smiled deliberately, approached, and under the eaves of the wine shop, asked the man: "Uncle, are you an escort team?"

The big man looked at Yang Ning with some vigilance, snorted coldly, and without saying a word, turned around and entered the wine shop. Yang Ning excused himself and followed the man into the wine shop.

As soon as he entered the wine shop, Yang Ning felt something was wrong. He felt that several eyes were directed at him. Yang Ning deliberately bent over and glanced around with a smile. He saw only five or six tables in the room, all occupied. There were no people there, it was completely dark, and everyone at the two tables near the door looked at him.

It was dark, and there were no lights in the house, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on.
