old scheming

"Ding Dong! Dear player Su Muzhe, the enemy army has arrived on the battlefield, please check your equipment, three, two, one!"

It's been a long time since I heard this electronic sound, and Su Mu was taken aback suddenly.

Check gear?what is this about?Invading dawn, or... a shield against hidden weapons?Su Mu didn't want to and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhou Niannian was coaxed by Mrs. Wang crying and crying. There were very few people in the village who were lucky enough to survive. Since the village head Hua Lao passed away, Su Mu seemed to be the backbone of everyone.What Su Mu meant was to let everyone go when they should, and go to other places to avoid the limelight.

"How can I do that? I have lived in mountain villages for generations. Now that the village is in trouble, how can I run away first!"

"That's right! And that demon girl killed my whole family, and I will avenge it with all my might."

"Correct!"

Su Mu wondered: "But everyone is unarmed, and Su and Yao'er can only barely protect themselves."

Another person said: "It's okay, you can be reunited with your child's wife after you die! And the high-level blacksmith is still there, let him forge two more sharp weapons. If he can't kill her, he will have to poke holes all over her body." The man said , suddenly remembered something and asked Gao Sheng, "By the way, didn't you say you found a good way to resist hidden weapons on the road just now?"

"Brother Gao, is this true? I think that demon girl put the hidden weapon because she couldn't defeat Brother Su. If she can help Brother Su resist the hidden weapon, wouldn't there be hope for a fight?"

Su Mu tightened his hands when he heard the words, and before Gao Sheng could speak, he firmly said, "No!"

"Why? Brother Su, do you also know this method? What kind of method is it? Tell us about it."

Su Mu remained silent, and everyone turned their attention to Gao Sheng, only to hear him say: "Gao is not talented, he once saw an ancient weapon in an ancient book handed down by his family, called the shield of sacrificial poison, but how is it specific, we I can’t remember clearly, but this shield can resist ten thousand poisons.”

Su Guyao thought for a while and said, "Good shield."

"What's the matter!" Su Mu suddenly stood up and refuted him.

"Why not? In this way, Master, you can..."

"How dare you talk back!"

Su Mu had never used his master's majesty to overwhelm him. He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said nothing, but he still had doubts in his heart.

After the crowd dispersed, Su Guyao opened his mouth to ask him why.

"If I say no, I won't do it. Don't ask any more."

"Master! Yao'er listens to you whatever you say, and you don't practice if you say you don't, but you have to have a reason to convince people outside."

"Smelting ritual poison will kill people."

"Will the craftsman who refines it die?"

Su Mu didn't speak any more, and went straight into the room.

That night, Su Mu felt uneasy and couldn't close his eyes for a long time until dawn.Early the next morning, I saw Gao Sheng rushing over, just as Su Mu and Xiao Guyao had just finished washing.

"Yao'er, I won't cook this morning, go next door and ask for a bowl of porridge!" Intuition told Su Mu what Gao Sheng wanted to say, and what he said must not be heard by Su Guyao.

"Oh, then I'll bring back a bowl for Master by the way."

After Xiao Guyao left, Su Mu said: "Brother Gao came early in the morning, is there any new discovery about the poison sacrifice?"

"It turned out that my knowledge is shallow, no wonder you don't let me refine sacrificial poison. Last night when I went home, I dug out the ancient book again. After a closer look, I realized that it is a kind of magic weapon. To refine it, you need to sacrifice a living person. Yes, and it must be the closest person to the user. The person is required to sacrifice a bowl of blood to the pig iron and real fire every day, and when he is about to mature, he will sacrifice his body."

"So, Brother Gao, don't mention this matter again in the future, especially in front of Yao'er."

"I won't mention it anymore." Gao Sheng waved his hand quickly, feeling admiration in his heart, "In the past, I only heard people say that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After a few days of getting along, you really are extraordinary. Gao admires you."

"you flatter me."

"Haha, then I'll take my leave."

Gao Sheng sat for a while and then left. Su Mu told him, and he was relieved. Looking at the eastern sun, he still washed the rice and cooked two bowls of porridge.They were simmered on low heat for an hour, and then they were taken out to cool. It was almost completely cold before Su Guyao came back.

"Where did you go to drink porridge? Why did you come back?"

"Master." Su Guyao didn't answer, but smiled, strode forward, and hugged Su Mu.

Su Mu was caught off guard and wanted to break free from his confinement, but the more he broke free, the tighter his hug became, and Su Mu's bones ached from being strangled.He rubbed against Su Mu's neck like a puppy, but Su Mu had no choice but to let him hug him.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. I just think that today's sunrise is so beautiful. I don't know when I will see you next time."

"Smelly boy, it took me so long to go to see the sunrise." Su Mu couldn't help laughing because his hair was itchy, "Did you go to Aunt Wang's house for porridge? I ordered mung bean porridge, come and drink."

"Ok!"

***

In the cave mansion, Wang Qingping was lying on the stone bed, his lips were purple, his whole body was trembling, the blood from the seven orifices had dried up on his face.

Before the two could take off their bright red wedding clothes, the mountain ghost's cold voice came from above their heads, "Can this poison be cured?"

"In the pocket... there is... a hundred poisonous centipede, centipede, take it out, bite..."

The mountain ghost saw a pocket on his waist, and she released the finger-thick worm suspiciously. There was no way, this poison quickly entered the internal organs, and the demon power could not force it out.

I saw that disgusting insect quickly got into Wang Qingping's sleeve, only its tail was exposed, and it shook quickly. Suddenly, Wang Qingping cried out in pain.

"what--"

That moment seemed to be more painful than poisoning, his cyan complexion gradually turned pale, he turned his back to the mountain ghost, curled up involuntarily in pain, but at this moment, his eyes were extremely firm.

The speed at which the centipede's tail shook gradually decreased, and finally remained motionless, like a bitten person.

***

The past few days have been peaceful. The calmer the water, the deeper the waves. In addition, Su Guyao's wound from the mountain ghost has not healed, and there is a slight tendency to aggravate it. Su Mu's heart is always flustered. .

Today, everyone still gathers together to discuss countermeasures as usual, and everyone speaks to each other, but they all seem to be playing cotton.

"Huh? Why haven't you seen Brother Gao these two days?" Su Mu asked.

The people who were talking about repaying the money just now fell silent and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Did something happen to Brother Gao?" Su Mu asked again, but still no one answered.

"Perhaps he is being entangled by his wife, it's okay." Wang Yuanwai replied, and everyone catered, "Yes, yes! No problem, no problem."

Su Mu felt that something was wrong, so he went out and went straight to Gao's blacksmith shop as an excuse to relieve himself.Sure enough, the furnace was full of fire, and Gao Sheng was beating a piece of pig iron there. The shape seemed round but not round. Without asking, Su Mu could tell what it was at a glance.

Offer a bowl of blood every day.

No wonder the wound didn't heal after a few days, probably because Su Mu was afraid that Su Mu would find out that the blood was taken directly from the old wound.

At this moment, Su Mu's face was ashen and frightening. He picked up a piece of scrap iron at the door of the blacksmith's shop, turned around and left.

Gao Sheng's attention was drawn to the two "ding nails" at the door. Seeing that it was Su Mu, he yelled "No!" He put down his sledgehammer and chased him out.

"Su Guyao! You scoundrel, get out!" Su Mu shouted angrily as he locked the door to death as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Master... ah!"

Before the master could call out, a dull pain came from his leg, causing him to kneel directly on the ground.After hitting him on the back several times, Su Mu stopped for a while.

"Master, master, what did Yao'er do wrong?" Su Guyao gasped in pain.

"What did you say you did wrong? Shouldn't you beat me for disobeying the teacher's order!" Su Mu said, and dropped the iron rod again.

Su Guyao seemed to understand something, and the wound on his arm was bleeding faintly again. He gritted his teeth and endured it without making a sound.

That morning, the master deliberately dismissed him, but he wanted to listen to what the two of them had to say.

His master told him that a swordsman can eradicate the strong and help the weak, eliminate harm for the people, cultivate qi, cultivate body and mind.

Therefore, he stopped Gao Sheng on the road without telling his master.

What are you afraid of when you die? You are so afraid of dying in front of me.

Master, I'm sorry, Yao'er can't support you anymore.

I don't know how many times I hit him, when Su Mu raised the stick again, he suddenly felt powerless, and finally threw the stick forcefully, stuck it in the door, and startled Gao Sheng who had just run over.

Seeing that the iron rod was discarded, Gao Sheng felt relieved, turned around and went home.That day Su Guyao called to stop him on the way, he didn't hesitate, but after much deliberation, just as the little rascal Su Guyao said: "Sacrificing me alone can bring back everyone's hope, and my master's glory."

Su Guyao was still kneeling, turned around slowly, put his arms around Su Mu's legs, "Master, it hurts."

"Talk to Master if it hurts, what's the use of holding back."

Su Guyao remembered what he said four years ago, and so did Su Mu.

Su Mu knelt down, cupped Su Guyao's sweaty face with both hands, said distressedly but firmly: "Yao'er, master will definitely win, and master will definitely win without sacrifice."

He was close at hand, his face was so tender that even the hairs were pink, his lips were slightly parted, and his breath was warm.Su Guyao licked his dry lips, gritted his teeth and stuck them.

Su Mu's brain was blank for a moment, a very familiar touch, when was the last time, by the way, it was Chang Ge.

Su Mu pushed him hard, and he not only remained motionless, but also pulled Su Mu closer, biting his lips lightly with his teeth.

Su Mu was so ashamed that her ears turned red, and she pushed him again, but it was in vain because he let go.He said angrily, "Bastard!"

Su Guyao seemed to have suddenly realized that he wanted to touch his lips, but he didn't dare.After being stunned for a while, he suddenly greeted his face with both hands, and the sound of "pop" echoed in the small room.

"I'm sorry Master, I'm sorry Master, it's my disciple's mistake, my disciple shouldn't be obsessed with ghosts, I beg Master to forgive me! I beg Master to forgive me!" As he spoke, he felt that this could not atone for his sin, so he kowtowed.

"Master, please forgive Yao'er!" One after another, he could hardly support his arms due to the pain of the old open wounds, and knocked his head directly on the ground.

Su Mu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly helped him up, "Yao'er, get up quickly, why is Master angry with you!" As he spoke, he gently stroked his swollen head, "Look, the head is broken. gone."

"Master, are you really not angry with Yao'er?" Su Guyao didn't seem to know the pain, his pupils were shining brightly.

"Master knows, you are just impulsive, you must have been frightened by the mountain ghost, and you always rely on me, so you think this is liking." Su Muyu said earnestly, and then added, "Otherwise I How could Yao'er do such a disgusting thing like liking a man!"
