Chapter 68: The Story of Eating Souls
The people in the lobby began to whisper, and the slight and mixed sounds were like flies, surrounding a pile of dirty garbage, making an annoying sound of camping.
Li Mu naturally understood that what the provocateur said would never have anything good to say. Therefore, although he was very curious, he would not be so idiotic that he would take the initiative to ask.
Although the people in the lobby were photographed by the power of the Iron Gun Alliance and did not dare to discuss it loudly, they did not care about each other's eyes or talked in a low voice. Some people in the lobby even had their faces secretly, and they had begun to secretly glance at Li Mu and the other two, with gloating expressions in their eyes.
Li Mu looked up at the distance and found that the person who was talking just now had already stood up without any scruples. He was the thin man who was sitting next to the axe-holding man with a sharp mouth and a vicious face.
At this time, the thin man was looking around proudly, with a sinister smile flashing in his eyes, and then raised his sparse eyebrows, looking at Niu Dahai provocatively, saying, "Why, I thought I was invincible when I carried a stick? It would be fine if you brag yourself in the Central Plains. When you run to Chu Nan and want to be domineering, aren't you too unfair to take Qianshan Pavilion seriously?"
Li Mu couldn't help but look at Xiao Biyu with some concern, but found that Xiao Biyu was holding the teacup with a pale face, his eyes full of murderous intent, as if he would draw his gun up in the next moment, and rushed forward and pierced the thin man with a sinister smile on his face.
A "click" sounded, and the cup in Xiao Biyu's left hand suddenly shattered, and the tea slowly flowed out from Xiao Biyu's fingers; as Xiao Biyu's palm closed, the originally yellow-green tea slowly turned into a dark red color, as if the magma was about to condense.
Dr. Cha in the distance was hiding behind a pillar and leaning out his head, as if he wanted to come up to clean up the mess for Xiao Biyu, but he looked scared.
Li Mu looked at Hou Ruofang like help, but saw Hou Ruofang shook his head at him, his eyes clearly telling him that he understood his worries very well, but he signaled that he didn't need to say anything, and things would definitely not develop in the direction he thought.
"I'm just rampant..." As expected, after hearing what the thin man said, Niu Dahai waved his mace and rushed forward without even thinking about it.
Li Mu was shocked. If he shouted this, even if there were a large number of people from Qianshan Pavilion and he would not be able to argue with Niu Dahai, it would be difficult to guarantee that other forces in Chunan would be in the martial arts world. He believed that the Iron Gun Alliance would not give everyone face, and finally came to argue, it would be difficult to pass.
When the thin man was showing a smile of a successful plot on his face, he found that Niu Dahai suddenly stopped and said with a sneer: "Hehe, the demon ape, Iron Yi, is indeed the same as what the Jianghu said. He is shameless and brainless. He digs such an obvious pit and wants me to jump down. Do you think I am a fool or you are a fool?"
"You, what did you say..." The thin man caught Tieyi off guard and smiled proudly, and suddenly froze on his face, looking extremely strange.
Also shocked was Mr. Li Mu, the eldest son Li, who was full of anxiety, froze on his face, which seemed a little funny. Niu Dahai's changes made him feel that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. When he looked at Niu Dahai's seemingly ferocious ugly face was showing a hint of mockery, and he looked at Lian Tieyi with disdain.
"Okay, okay, I'm a fool. You are all smart people, but I'm a fool..." Li Mu felt hurt and suddenly realized that he was originally smart and clever, but now he was so smart that he was not even as good as a fool.
Or it should be said that sometimes it is still similar to Erlangzi.
Then Niu Dahai took out his nostrils and flicked his booster at Lian Tieyi a few times. Lian Tieyi's face turned pale: These two fools are clearly saying, "You are so ill-equipped to make me fool?" Let's go and eat my booster."
"Okay, okay, let's go and see..." Lian Tieyi took a deep breath, stared at Niu Dahai viciously, and slowly retracted his hand into his sleeve.
"Even brothers, wait a moment."
Just as Lian Tieyi moved his feet and wanted to use his moves and rushed over to look for Niu Dahai to fight desperately, the man holding the axe silently stood by, suddenly reached out to stop Lian Tieyi and said, "Don't you understand the plan of turning the enemy back on the ground? Your martial arts are more delicate and light, and you are the best at fighting. The longer the time is, the more beneficial it is to you; Niu Dahai's martial arts are like me, and they are all fierce and domineering. They pay attention to within a few moves, and they must decide the winner, otherwise they will become weaker and weaker. If you rush over, you may not even be able to withstand his three or five moves."
Lian Tieyi stopped, her face still felt unwilling, but she had slowly calmed down. Then she smiled reluctantly and said, "I understand. Thank you brother Dongfang for reminding me that I rushed up with anger and happened to be the one who was Niu Dahai's idea. I'm afraid that he would be smashed into meat sauce within a few moves."
Seeing Lian Tieyi being stopped, Niu Dahai couldn't help but curl his lips in disappointment, but didn't say anything else. He just stared at the axe-holding man calmly and said, "Ghost Axe Dongfang Li, right? It's really you, the second in command of Yuexi Luoyin Mountain. I was chased by my elder brother and jumped off the cliff. I didn't expect that I could survive. It's his mother's ability."
"Xiao Yuehan is very skilled in martial arts, and I'm not embarrassed to escape by looking at the wind. As for whether you have the ability, you'll know if you try it later?" Dongfang Li smiled, unmoved at all, and still slowly rotated the giant axe in his hand, without intending to start a war immediately.
Niu Dahai frowned and seemed a little confused about Dongfang Li's behavior. Then he slowly carried the mace, took two steps forward and stopped. The two stared at each other without giving in to each other, and confronted each other silently.
Li Mu couldn't help feeling even more hurt and sighed secretly: "Sure enough, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. These two damn people look like big and rough, but they are smarter than the other. What's the matter with this..."
After sighing for a few words, Li Mu suddenly frowned again, feeling that things were a little weird. Just when Dongfang Li smiled just now, a trace of imperceptible black air flashed across his originally rough face for some reason, which immediately made his whole face look extremely strange.
"Brother Hou, this Dongfang Li..." Li Mu looked at Hou Ruofang and asked hesitantly.
Hou Ruofang seemed not to notice Dongfang Li's weirdness. Instead, he looked at Xiao Biyu with some concern and said in a deep thought: "Brother Xiao, you should know some of the origin of Dongfang Li, why don't you tell me about it?"
The anger on Xiao Biyu's face slowly faded. He did not answer Hou Ruofang immediately, but spread his left palm and looked at the broken white porcelain on it and the bright red blood stained. After a few breaths of silence, he suddenly smiled and sighed, "Okay, I'll just say it casually, so that Brother Niu can gain some knowledge. If there is something wrong, please add it at any time."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Mu to speak, he continued to say: "Dongfang Li is the second leader of Luoyin Mountain in Yuexi. His martial arts are quite good, but he is extremely cruel and easy to kill. He claims to be able to cut off the bodies of ten people with one axe. It is said that he often tests the axes with innocent people in Yuexi, so he is ranked 47th on the black list of the Tang family in Yuexi, with a head worth 30,000 taels of silver.
The person's origin is extremely mysterious, and there is no way to start with the sect. Anyway, before he became the second leader of Luoyinshan, there was never any record of Guimao Dongfang Li in the world.
Of course, I am talking about the major sects in the Central Plains. As for the top sects in the martial arts world, such as Qianshan Pavilion, Daming Temple or Beifeng Castle, whether there are records about Dongfang Li depends on whether Brother Hou knows it."
Seeing that Xiao Biyu was slowly returning to normal, Hou Ruofang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am not very clear about other places, but Pang Nian once said that there are only records of Dongfang Li appearing after Luoyin Mountain. Dongfang Li gives people the feeling that he did not exist originally, but he didn't know which day it suddenly popped out of the crack of the rocks in Luoyin Mountain for some reason."
"It popped out of the crack of the stone..." Li Mu secretly muttered Hou Ruofang's words, and the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.
Xiao Biyu did not care about Li Mu's reaction, and continued Hou Ruofang's words: "Since there is no record of this in Beifeng Castle, it shows that Dongfang Li's origin is indeed a problem. There have been rumors in the world that Dongfang Li is a devil from hell. After killing people, he has to absorb the souls of a stranger to feed on, otherwise he will be crazy. I don't know if this is true?"
"Sucking the souls of a stranger to feed on? It's not true..." Li Mu murmured in a low voice, suddenly remembering the black aura on Dongfang Li's face just now, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little chilled. Could it be the soul of a stranger?
Hou Ruofang's face rarely showed a serious look and said thinking: "Although the rumors in the world are a bit exaggerated, they may not be nonsense. The old senior Tuluo, who is the Zhenwei Escort Agency, comes from the depths of the 100,000 mountains in Chunan, where it is said that such strange things are happening. Once I made a few jars of good wine to invite him to drink. That day, he happened to be in a bad mood and got drunk as he drank..."
"What happened later? Did you say a lot of drunken words?" Li Mu couldn't help asking, feeling more and more nervous.
Hou Ruofang looked at Li Mu in surprise and continued with a smile: "Mysterious guess is right. Senior Tuluo did say a lot of drunken words. At first, he just said a person's name randomly, and said that the person contained spiritual energy, which was arranged by God for the tribe. Later, he began to say a lot of inexplicable words to me in a mess, all of which were all strange things about the depths of the 100,000 mountains, but it sounded quite incredible."
"Is there really such a saying of eating souls?" Xiao Biyu showed a strange face and looked at Hou Ruofang with a little nervousness.
Li Mu was even more nervous. He couldn't help but look up at Dongfang Li again just now and found that there were more and more black air on Dongfang Li's body, like a faint cloud, surrounding Dongfang Li, constantly rotating up and down.
But strangely, the others did not show any surprise, as if they did not see the strange scene on Dongfang Li at all.
Hou Ruofang looked at Li Mu and Xiao Biyu with nervous faces, nodded seriously and said, "Yes, from the intermittent description of Old Tuluo, it is certain that there are indeed such soul-eating people in the deepest part of the 100,000 mountains, in those places where people are unable to reach..."
Speaking of this, Hou Ruofang suddenly stopped, as if he didn't know how to describe it. After thinking for a while, he continued to say: "It should be a soul-eating animal or tree, or something else. Anyway, Old Tuluo's words did not explain what kind of thing it was, but it should not be a talent..."
"Brother Hou, don't scare me." Li Mu couldn't help but shivered and sniffed, "When senior Tuluo woke up, did you not ask him again?"
"I asked, how could I not ask about such a strange thing?" Hou Ruofang responded casually, then looked at Li Mu with some amusement, not understanding why Brother Niu was so nervous.
"What did he say?" Xiao Biyu couldn't help it this time.
