Chapter 981: Priceless Treasure
He slowly remembered a name, Mu Xingqiu, this name was like a lonely boat in the ocean, providing the only foothold, there seemed to be a piece of land in the distance, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't row it.
The chai door was pushed open, and an old man walked in, holding crutches in one hand and a bowl of gruel in the other, laboriously placed on the ground, "Don't remember who you are?"
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, just a name doesn't mean anything, he vaguely remembers some things, but they are not complete, they are all some unbelievable scenes, one of the scenes flashes frequently: a woman in white suddenly turned into a huge white snake and swallowed him in one bite, he fought in the dark, and finally escaped, but a large piece of meat was left inside.
This memory is unreliable, because he has no injuries on his body, only his clothes are tattered.
"Is there a woman in white?" Mu Xingqiu asked, his voice slow and sluggish, his control of his body was still very poor.
"Yes, at first we thought it was crazy, but then she turned into a cloud of white light and flew away, and we realized it was a banshee! But it's also strange that she killed the robbers and saved many pregnant women...... I don't know if she's going to kill you or save you......"
The old man pointed to the porridge bowl on the ground, "Eat, don't dislike it, after a while, you probably won't even be able to drink the porridge, I don't know how long the battle ahead will take, if only you could completely wipe out the demon clan." Alas, in this world, I don't know whether it's a demon or a human evil. ”
Mu Xingqiu bent over to take the bowl, only to find that a rope was tied around his waist, he remembered in a trance that he was surrounded by a group of mortals and came to the town, arguing for a long time, before a family was willing to take him in, afraid that he would hurt people, so he was tied to the firewood room.
This is a clear memory, Mu Xingqiu can remember it with a little effort, but the previous memory is still looming on the distant continent.
"It's her. She robbed me of my memories. Mu Xingqiu said in a low voice.
The old man took a step back vigilantly, shook his head, turned to go out, and said to the old woman guarding the door: "Crazy, completely crazy, if he can do some work, he can stay for a few more days, if not, there are so many people in the town, can't he just throw it in our house." ”
The old woman couldn't stop nodding. Glancing into the firewood room, he was facing the eyes that seemed to ignite people, his hands trembled in fright, and he hurriedly closed the door, "Bolt tight, right?"
"It's tight, not even a cow can escape. The old man said impatiently, and when he heard a commotion in the street, he went to the door and looked at it, and immediately closed the door. Said hatefully: "Here it is again, there are no even half-grown children in the town, why is Yang eating wolves still coming?"
"It won't be ......," the old woman looked a little alarmed.
The old man stared at her sternly, "You didn't chew your tongue with the neighbors, did you?"
The old woman shook her head vigorously.
"That's fine. The old man's heart was troubled. Glancing at the dilapidated courtyard and house, he sighed.
There was a knock on the door, and as soon as the old man lifted the latch, three men pushed the door in. Nearly knocked him out.
"Why are the doors closed so tightly in broad daylight?" asked a man in his thirties with a snort, most of the young men had been drafted into the army. However, the requisition of grain and people had to proceed normally, so the yamen in various localities left a small number of young and middle-aged people to continue to "serve the country".
"Isn't this a loose cultivator robbing a pregnant woman, there was a white-clothed banshee yesterday, and we are also just in case. The old man smiled flatteringly, and bent even lower.
"You two old bones, don't give them to the monsters, what's in case?"
"A silly boy I found yesterday, with a very strong physique, I just don't know what I don't know, I don't remember anything, if Yang Tou'er wants to take ...... away"
"Phew, what do I want to do with a fool? Let's be honest, where is your son Luo Xiaoliu'er?"
"Dead, dead a few months ago. The old woman said eagerly, for fear that the other party would not believe it, "You have seen all the corpses." ”
Yang Wolf spat heavily on the ground, making a look, and the other two men rushed into the room and flipped around.
"Old Luo Tou'er, it's not me saying you, it's a good thing to fight, this time it's different from before, you will win, you can make meritorious service by going to the front line to go around, if you are lucky enough to kill a few demon clans, the bounty and title will come in an uproar, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life." Do you think we're willing to stay in town and fight you? The boss is pressing, and we still have a few places left in the town's soldiers. Alas, a few of us were unlucky, we didn't get the military sign, and we had to be deceived by you Diao people. ”
In order not to be a soldier, these tolerance families have spent a lot of money, but now they are saying cool words, they didn't show up when the pregnant women disappeared a few days ago, and they jumped out as soon as the matter ended.
The two men went out of the house with a disappointed expression, apparently finding no one or anything of value.
"It's either people or money, you two don't die and don't pull out a dime, it's too unusual. Yang Eat Wolf was very annoyed, stretched out his hand and pointed to the firewood room, "Go inside and take a look, stomp everywhere, those scattered cultivators who robbed pregnant women reminded me that Diao Min loves to dig holes, maybe they hide people underground, I just took a look at Luo Xiaoliu'er's corpse from a distance, who knows if it's true or not?"
The old woman's face turned white, and the old man forced his composure.
Tolerance was sharp-eyed, and immediately went to open the door of the firewood room, intending to do a thorough search.
The door opened, and Mu Xingqiu walked out of it, as if the two guards had opened the door for him on purpose.
The old couple were very surprised, and did not understand how the "silly boy" broke free from the rope.
Yang Eater Wolf subconsciously held the handle of the knife and looked at it a few times, "It doesn't look stupid, what's your name?"
"Mu Xingqiu. ”
"Hey, that name sounds familiar...... Where have you heard of it?"
A tolerance interjected: "Mu Xingqiu, isn't this the wild Taoist priest who was eliminated by the Dao Patriarch in the Imperial Capital a year ago? ”
"I remember, bah, are you entertaining me?" Yang Tou'er pulled out the knife in half, a move that usually solves the problems between most mortals.
Mu Xingqiu stared at the blade, as if he saw something flowing.
It may be the same name, or it may be that he has heard others talk about this name, so he remembers that he is a fool, Yang Tou'er don't take his words seriously. The old man stepped forward and persuaded.
"Where did the woman in white go?" Mu Xingqiu finally got rid of his chaotic thoughts and came to a clear conclusion: he could retrieve his memories from the woman in white.
"That's a banshee. It's gone, what are you looking for her?" said the old man in surprise.
"She took my stuff, something very important. ”
"What is it?, is it valuable?" Yang Tou'er's eyes lit up.
"Priceless. Before the words came out, Mu Xingqiu knew that these four words would attract great attention.
Sure enough, the three men and the old couple all looked at him with half-believing eyes, Mu Xingqiu's clothes were very tattered, but his posture was upright, his appearance was handsome, the confused look on his face had disappeared, and his eyes were calm and resolute. Not at all like a fool.
The indescribable power of that gaze was indescribable, and the longer the five stared at it, the more they felt that every word he said was believable.
"Come back to the yamen with me first, and you have to find out your details. Yang Tou'er withdrew his waist knife, and the other two men immediately came over to push Mu Xingqiu, thinking about the same thing: the treasure of nothing.
"That banshee seems to be quite powerful, and several scattered cultivators are not her opponents. The old man kindly reminded him that he also liked "priceless treasures", but he knew very well that this thing was destined to be destined for him.
"Who said they were going to catch the banshee?" Yang Tou'er glared angrily. As if he was greatly humiliated, "I want to send him to be a soldier and fill a place for our town." ”
The tolerance pushed Mu Xingqiu and left in a hurry, leaving the relieved old couple.
"'Sheep eat wolves'. This kid's nickname is really right, when he hears the 'priceless treasure', he doesn't even want his life, go find the banshees, and see if they can come back alive. The old man didn't believe a word of Yang Tou'er's words.
The old couple walked into the firewood room. I saw that the porridge bowl was empty, the rope was intact on the ground, and the dead knots at both ends had not been moved. The silly boy seems to have slipped out of it. The two looked at each other in surprise, and their minds quickly turned to a pile of firewood in the corner, and only after finding that there was no change, did they leave with peace of mind.
Mu Xingqiu was taken back to the government office, he didn't resist along the way, and he didn't know how to resist, he felt that there was a strange power in his body that was constantly circulating, and whenever he wanted to use it, it always flowed out of his fingers like a stream of water.
The three men searched Mu Xingqiu, but found no gold or silver, only three small leather bags, which were very delicate, but there was nothing in them. Then interrogated carefully, Mu Xingqiu couldn't think of anything else except his name and "priceless treasure".
The tolerance was completely moved by the "priceless treasure", and gathered together to discuss countermeasures, Yang Eat Wolf said: "The decisive battle ahead is imminent, and that banshee dares to run near the imperial capital, there must be a big plan, this fool may have fallen into the witchcraft, but the priceless treasure he claims may really exist." ”
"Yes, fools don't lie. ”
"Then let's go find the banshee and don't let anyone else take the lead. ”
The two of them were moved, and Yang Wolf knocked on everyone's head, "This is a fool, you are more stupid than him, the banshee can even kill Sanxiu, can we beat her? Things can't be done, money can't be swallowed alone, this business can't be done by the three of us, we have to find helpers. ”
"Yes, the more, the better. ”
Yang Eater Wolf knocked on the head again, "There are too many people, and there are not enough priceless treasures." ”
The two of them were confused, covered their heads and looked at Yang Tou'er blankly.
"There can't be too few people, otherwise you can't beat the banshee, and you won't die in vain; you can't have too many people, otherwise you won't have enough things, and the news will cause trouble if it leaks out; you can't find the Longbin Society, those guys are too greedy, I will eat wolves at most, but they want to swallow lions and tigers, and there is no scum left." ”
Yang pondered silently for a while, unable to think of anyone he knew who could only help without sharing the spoils.
"Use me as bait. Mu Xingqiu spoke, he desperately wanted to get back his memory, only in this way could he drive the power in his body.
