There are very few things in this world that power cannot satisfy. It is already very difficult to impress a powerful person. What’s more difficult than this is that you need to impress a group of people whose influence is no longer limited to the power itself, but can easily change the power of the country.
Margaret may have been such a person once. So far, Li Muye only knew that she loved food, but she could still maintain control over her appetite. If a person can refuse to be the leader of a gangland organization like the Imperial Alliance, then how many people or things in the world are worthy of her heart
"Li Muye, I want to take you as my teacher." Margaret gave an answer that made Brother Xiaoye break his glasses.
"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Li Muye looked at her in surprise and asked, "What do you want to learn from me?"
"Definitely not cooking." Margaret said: "Three years ago, I studied with an elder in China. He was my teacher, but he still refused to accept me as his disciple. I know that you Chinese Some traditional sects are very particular about this, and you won’t be able to learn true skills if you don’t become a master.”
"Even if you want to become a master, you must first find a master with real skills." Li Muye said with a bitter look on his face: "Other things are easy to talk about, but this matter is a bit difficult. I am still a stick. Well, what can I teach you?"
Margaret's bright eyes flickered and she looked at Li Muye and said, "No, you have it, and you are the only one in the world who can teach me this." As she said this, she found a yellow-paper ancient book at home and played it. In front of Li Muye, he said: "Please make a decision after reading it."
Li Muye took it in his hand. The cover had no words. When he opened it, he saw a picture at first glance. The content was not suitable for children, but the formula marked below seemed familiar. In an instant, Li Muye understood everything, why Bai Wuxia arranged for him to take her out of that place, and why she had to pester him for nothing. In that desert, Brother Xiaoye's Twelve Heavenly Guidance Techniques reached the state of first glimpse of the true vision. Of course, it was inseparable from Bai Wuxia's use of himself as the furnace, and he needed endless help. But it turned out that it was all for the woman in front of him.
"understand?"
Li Muye was silent for a while, calming down his angry and angry mood, and pretended to be confused: "What do I know? There is something messy painted on it."
Margaret smiled calmly: "Bai Wuxia exchanged you and me for two heads. My brother has already gone to get those two heads. It's time for you to fulfill the promise she made to me."
"I am a man, not something that belongs to Bai Wuxia." Li Muye closed the ancient policy and said, "Unfortunately, I can't help you."
Margaret said: "You don't want to know the secrets of the Adams family anymore?"
Li Muye said: "I don't want to exchange this secret in this way."
Margaret sighed softly and said, "You have now guessed how Bai Wuxia escaped from Linglong Domain, right?"
"She was brought out by your people deliberately." Li Muye said: "The people within the Imperial Alliance who cooperated with Nanhaimen are the two people your brother was about to take away the head."
"What a smart man." Margaret said: "Then you must understand now why Bai Wuxia asked you to help bring me out of Ghent Manor."
It’s really a good ad, and it’s worth putting up. After all, you can cache the book and read it offline!
Li Muye looked serious and said: "I can't say that I completely understand it, but at least I am sure that I am not interested in the transaction between you two."
"No, you will be interested." Margaret said: "Please at least listen to what I want to say to you." Li Muye looked at the ancient policy again and said: "This matter is too ridiculous No matter how good your reasons are, I can't accept it."
"If I told you that I only have less than ten years to live, would you be willing to stay and listen to what I have to say?" Margaret's bright eyes were shining, as beautiful as smoke locked in a clear lake, and she was determined. Looking into Brother Ono's eyes, he said: "Master, can you please stay a moment longer for my last eight years?"
"I want to hear what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd." Li Muye sat back on the sofa, holding his chin with two fingers and looking at her.
"Thank you!" Margaret first poured a glass of water and put it in front of him, then sat back on the opposite side, looked at each other, and softly opened her red lips and said: "My twin brother Edward and I were born in 25 years ago. Yorkshire in the northeast of England is famous for its textile industry. My parents were also in this industry, and they were also members of the Imperial League. When we were ten years old, our 35-year-old father suddenly fell ill and passed away. We were heartbroken. Ze’s mother was deprived of membership in the Alliance because she rejected a man.”
"This is a sad story." Li Muye said, "I feel sorry for you, but please get to the point. My time is precious."
Margaret nodded slightly and continued: "My mother left soon, leaving only the twin brothers and sisters dependent on each other. My parents did not leave any property. All that was left to my brother and me was a terrible family curse, Viner. No member of the Si family lived past the age of thirty-five."
"Not one?" Li Muye was a little doubtful.
Margaret said: "Yes, regardless of gender, as long as they are descendants of this family, they will be infected with this terrible family genetic virus. My father is like this, so are my uncles, and my three cousins in Yorkshire They all left at this age, and before them, our common grandfather did the same."
Li Muye nodded, expressing his approval of her statement, and said, "Go on."
Margaret said: "Actually, there is nothing to say about what happened next. When my brother and I grew up and returned to the Imperial Alliance, God set a cruel curse on the members of the Wernas family, but also gave our family Some special abilities, Edward's talent is a charm that almost no woman can refuse, and I have a photographic brain. He conquered many women in the alliance, gradually took the lead within the alliance, and finally sent me to the alliance. The place of a princess.”
Li Muye said: "It seems you don't like sitting in that position?"
Margaret said: "When I think that I only have thirty-five years in this life, I can't be happy no matter where I sit."
Li Muye looked at the ancient Ce on the table and said, "Do you think this book can help you live longer?"
"Ever since I sat in that position five years ago, I have been looking for a way to solve the curse." Margaret said: "Every method has been tried, until it was determined that the Schroeder Laboratory could not do anything about it. , I set my sights on the ancient and mysterious East. Three years ago, I went to China from England and got acquainted with Teacher Wen Diaolong of Xuanmen through official channels. He helped me find out the root of the family curse, called the Withered Vein. Symptoms…”
"It's enough to know what the problem is. There's no need to explain it in too specific a way." Li Muye interrupted her and said, "Xuanmen Wendiaolong is the third-ranked figure in Jianghu Literary List. Since he can help you find the root cause of your problem, I thought... It should also help you find a solution.”
"He helped me find it, but he couldn't do it himself." Margaret said: "The only thing that can save me is a guidance technique secretly passed down by Baiyuntang, called the Dao Dao Technique of the Twelve Heavenly Dao and Dao Dao. Teacher Wen told me that this health-preserving alchemy was passed down from the great alchemist Gui Guzi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is divided into two volumes: Yin and Yang."
Then he continued: "Withered Veins Syndrome is caused by two meridians that are born incomplete and weak. When you are young, your vitality and blood can still be sustained, but when you are over thirty, it begins to decline. When it reaches a critical point, it will break out and be fatal." , I can only survive the calamity of death by finding a man who has mastered this thaumaturgy and leads me to reshape the two meridians using the method of combining yin and yang to create vitality."
"What do you mean?" Li Muye asked, scratching his head.
"Li Muye, please stop pretending to be confused with me." Margaret said: "You know very well what I mean. This is my only chance to lift the family's genetic curse. I will not give up no matter what."
"As a modern woman with as much knowledge as you, do you really believe this mysterious nonsense?"
"I cannot believe the facts." Margaret said: "A monster monk named Rasputin appeared in Russia more than a hundred years ago. I won't tell you more about his other deeds. I will only tell you one thing. Regarding the Wernas family, in the history of our family, there was an elder named Cleverley who visited the Tsarist Russian court during that period, and she later lived to be fifty-three years old."
"Do you think she survived by sleeping with this monster named Rasputin?"
"That's exactly what happened. Not only did I find Cleverley's diary in the family history museum, but I also found the secret of Rasputin's powerful vitality in Russia." Margaret's bright eyes flashed with hope. Said: "He met a Chinese alchemist named Wang in the Ural Mountains and learned some special skills before he obtained those magical powers. Although he was later murdered with poison and a pistol and finally drowned, it is undeniable It’s that he has incredible vitality.”
Li Muye said: "It seems that this person has left a deep impression on you."
"I personally went to the museum in St. Petersburg to visit his body. There was only a 29-centimeter piece left, and it is said that it could be up to 50 centimeters long." Margaret said in a calm and natural tone: "I also heard that Peter When Lesuvier burned Rasputin's body, witnesses claimed that when the lead and zinc coffin containing his body was burned until it melted, his body was not burned, and he sat up from the coffin and opened his eyes. Soviet soldiers kept pouring kerosene on the body and burned it to ashes 10 hours later. Many noble women came to the place where the body was cremated in disguise to pick up the ashes and worship them as sacred objects."
Li Muye suddenly remembered the former Qing alchemist named Wang who crawled out of the coffin in the Ural Mountains but was randomly shot to death by Huo Ze's men. Then he thought about the God of Death who was vaguely related to it and now fell into the hands of Huo Ze. The world is full of wonders. After experiencing these strange things for many times, he has become accustomed to them. Then he asked: "Huo Ze is in the Ural Mountains." Was his action driven by you?"
Margaret nodded and said: "We have a cooperative relationship. I hired him to assassinate Schroeder. He succeeded twice, but ultimately failed, but we have established a friendship since then."
"No wonder Xiaofen told me that you told your brother on the pier that life is short, and you mentioned many times that your time is limited. That's it." Li Muye took a deep breath and said, "If I agree to accept you As a disciple…”
Margaret interrupted: "I will serve you wholeheartedly and assist you in fulfilling your ambitions on this land..." (End of Chapter)
