Chapter 59 "If you don't listen to the chapter, you will be stupid"
Chapter 59 "If you don't listen to the chapter, you will be stupid"
"I'll go with you."
When Mu Li got my response, he cheered softly as if he had received some big promise.
"Wait for me a little bit." He quickly raised his eyes to look at me, then lowered his eyes quickly, and said in a low voice, "It won't be long." His voice was a bit sticky as if he was holding it in his mouth.
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you. I won't keep you waiting for a long time..."
Although Mu Li said so confidently, I don't have much trust in Mu Li in my heart.
I have never forgotten how much trouble Mu Li had caused me because of Su Lianyi in the past, but now he suddenly finds me and says he wants to help me, it's as abnormal as if the old enemy suddenly changed his temper.
Yes, Mu Li's transformation is abrupt and weird in my eyes, I can't figure out the reason, but there is nothing to be courteous about, it's either adultery or robbery.
Maybe he had other ideas?
I can't figure it out.
The boulder in my heart can't stay on the ground safely.
Even so, for me now, Mu Li is the only person who can give me salvation.
I have no choice.
As long as there is a slight possibility, even if it is tiny, even if there is only a one-ten-thousandth possibility, as long as there is a chance to leave the Zetianzong and gain freedom, no matter what the price is, I am willing to pay.
I would rather leave with my whole body wounded than stay in Zetianzong for a moment longer.
"Okay." I nodded.
"You..." Mu Li looked at me, thought for a while, seemed to be considering how to use words, and then said seriously: "During this time, take good care of your body, I think you have lost a lot of weight."
I was stunned for a moment, my heart was slightly moved, and the corner of my mouth curled into a not-so-obvious arc, which was sort of a smile, "Thank you for caring about me."
After saying that, I slightly shyly wanted to lower my eyelashes, but I saw Mu Li's pupils dilated slightly, and he was looking at me with straight eyes.
I was terrified by his staring eyes, and was about to speak when I heard Mu Li call me.
Looking at me with a slightly puzzled look, Mu Li's Adam's apple rolled down, and his voice was somewhat hoarse for no reason.
"Can you laugh again?"
In just one day, I faced Mu Li's unusual reaction more than once, and a strange feeling suddenly popped up in my heart.
Could he be...
I didn't think deeply, and my instinct told me that this would not affect the final result.
So, I followed the good advice and didn't bother much about it.
After all, my nerves are already as fragile as a spider's thread, and I can't have more thoughts to challenge the limit of my nerves.
Seeing me being silent, Mu Li waved his hands again and again in a panic, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to laugh now, you can wait until I rescue you and get rid of Sword Master... At that time, you should feel better, just... "
His tongue seemed to be tied, and he stuttered a sentence. I heard it intermittently, and it was very difficult, but I still grasped the point.
At least at this moment, Mu Li really said that he would help me leave Zetianzong, get rid of Luo Wuchen's control, and save me from being forced to marry Luo Wuchen.
A wind blows away the clouds in the sky, and the shadow that has been entrenched in the Killing Peak for several days, "Okay." I said, moving the corners of my mouth strangely, and showing a not-so-perfect smile to Mu Li.
Mu Li stared blankly at me, and couldn't help but took a step towards me, but he forgot that the next step was the restriction set by Luo Wuchen.
Sure enough, he hit the restraint with his head, and I could almost hear the "boom" sound when Mu Li's forehead hit the restraint.
Although out of place, I was still amused.
"Oh! It hurts, hurts, hurts!" Mu Li covered his blushing forehead, carefully glanced in my direction, and stood still like a goose.
After a long while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and said to himself as if wandering: "...you should smile more."
"It turns out that you smile so well..."
His voice gradually lowered, the distance between me and him was a bit far away, and there was a restraint. In the end, I didn't hear what Mu Li said.
But obviously these are just Mu Li's self-talk, not important, Mu Li talked to himself for a while, and then started talking to me in a rambling manner.
He first looked around vigilantly, and said to me in a low voice: "Regarding your marriage with Jian Zun, most of the sect is indifferent now, but there are a few stubborn old people who are particularly opposed, but Jian Zun has a tough attitude. On the surface, the sect only has this voice of approval."
"If you want to escape, Sword Master will definitely come, and someone will help Sword Master to catch you."
"So we're going to sneak away and not be seen by anyone."
"My father has a magic weapon that can pass through all kinds of restrictions. I'll see if I can take it secretly and use it. If not..."
"If not," Mu Li hesitated for a moment, looked at me, and promised, "I'll find a way to create a gap in the restriction."
"I won't let you be forced to marry someone you don't like."
"Even the sword master can't force you."
In the past, Mu Li gave me the impression that he was an incomprehensible young master, but when he said these words, he seemed to carry some kind of indescribable belief, which made me suddenly seem to really see hope——
The hope of being able to get out of the mud and stand freely in the sun again.
I couldn't help being immersed in the vague hope of being able to leave Zetianzong, and I was in a trance for a while, and I didn't even have the slightest feeling when Mu Li left.
Through the window, I saw a lying stone in the corner of the yard, which happened to be pressed against an unknown small tree.
When I saw it before, the little tree was dead, but just now, I found a touch of fresh greenness on the dead branch.
The dead tree sprouted new buds, and a touch of hope rose in my heart.
Leaving Zetianzong, leaving Luo Wuchen...
I was so excited, my whole body trembled with excitement for a moment.
After that, Mu Li would secretly meet with me every other day.
Sometimes to bring me information from the outside world, sometimes to tell me the progress of his plans.
Every time Mu Li came, the possibility of leaving would become clearer.
With the hope of leaving, the dark clouds of depression in my heart dissipated a little.
My heart is cleared, and I no longer waste time in negativity. I used to either stand in a daze or sit in a daze every day.
After all, I have no cultivation base, no other strengths, no skills to deal with restrictions, and even my brain is not very bright. I have been trapped here for so long, and I can't think of a way.
The wounds on the body will heal, but the carrion hidden inside will only become more and more rotten until it spreads to the internal organs...
In the end, there was only a pair of seemingly intact skins left, but the insides were completely rotten and exhausted, and there was nothing left except for a pool of rotten flesh and bones.
But now I have hope.
I am not corrupt, I...
I also won't have some shit kiss with Luo Wuchen, I gritted my teeth, thinking bitterly.
My body has gradually improved under my own care, but my face is still a little sickly pale.
After all, it hurt the foundation, and how can it be restored in just a few days.
I don't force it, just do what I want.
During the day, I folded a branch to fill the sword, practiced the sword for a while, even if I couldn't use the spiritual power in the dantian, I didn't slacken my practice.
Every morning and night, the days are flat and uneventful.
only……
For some reason, there is always a sense of uneasiness in my heart.
Obviously I want to leave that much, and I am even willing to pay any price for it...
But when I really had the chance to get what I wanted, I became uneasy again.
I don't even know what I'm afraid of.
Was it because he was afraid that if he failed to escape, he would be caught by Luo Wuchen and brought back to Killing Peak?Or was he afraid that Mu Li was just lying to me from the beginning to the end, that he never intended to help me, and would just be the same as all the people who knew my situation and chose to stand on the sidelines?
I thought about it and couldn't think of an answer.
Only occasionally, the suggestion that Qin Qing and Luo Wuchen made that day, I heard, would pop up in my mind.
——If you make me stupid, you will be good.
When Qin Qing made this suggestion, he was even smiling, looking at me with contempt in his indifference, as if I was just an insignificant ant.
...you can dispose of it as you like, rub it round and flatten it, even if you accidentally crush it to death, you will die, don't worry about it.
But even if I think about it now, even if I just think about it for a while, my heart can't stop being cold.
However, the more I deliberately tried to forget, the more lingering was the scene of that day.
Not only Qin Qing's words and deeds without any kindness, but also Luo Wuchen's reaction, looking at my expression, and the sentence he said "Be good, I won't punish you." They all appeared in my mind over and over again, everywhere.
The days passed by in my fear, and before I knew it, there was only one and a half days left before my wedding.
I looked at the sunset that was gradually setting, but my heart was hanging high for some reason.
Just as he was wondering if something had happened to Mu Li, why he hadn't come yet, he heard "Xie Wan——"
Mu Li called me in a low voice, with an uncontrollable joy in his expression, "It's all right, let's go."
He took out a magic weapon like a mirror, fiddled with it, and passed through the restriction.
"I have observed that today is the time when the sect's defense is the loosest. Come with me quickly, and I will take you down the mountain."
Mu Li stretched out his hand towards me, "I'll hold you and lead you out of the restriction."
Escaping from Killing Peak was only a step away.
But my eyelids suddenly jumped up, and the uneasiness in my heart rose again.
It seems that I am not heading towards freedom, but towards some dead end that cannot be turned back.
Things have come to this point, I have no room to turn back, staying will put myself in a desperate situation, only to give it a go, if I succeed, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide.
If it fails...
Luo Wuchen's voice sounded in my ears again, "Don't try to escape."
"...Maybe, you can try, try to bear the fate of angering me again."
Then came Qin Qing's joke-like words, "If you don't obey, you will be stupid."
"If you're stupid, you'll be good."
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, not to let myself continue to think wildly.
Don't worry about it.
I gritted my teeth, forced the wild thoughts in my heart back to the depths of my mind, and put my hand on Mu Li's palm: "Okay, let's go."
Killing Peak has always seen few people, as long as he can get out of the restriction, he will be successful.
When going down the mountain, it was really smooth.
only……
When Mu Li and I approached the gate of Zetianzong, there was a setback indeed.
