Chapter 84: Pretending to Decline, But Actually Following Closely
On Luoxia Peak, in a dark room, Mu Qianheng, Yue Tianxiao and nine others sat cross-legged, meditating and practicing.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Master Mu, our young leader wants to see you."
Hearing this, Lu Qingya slapped his thigh fiercely, cursing, "Damn it! I'm going out to fight him!"
"Brother Lu, I'll accompany you!" The elder of the Sacred Heart Sect also said indignantly.
Seeing how angry the two were, Mu Qianheng opened his eyes and tried to comfort them, "Don't worry, there are only two or three days left. Just be patient. It won't be too late to kill him together after you get the antidote."
Helpless, Lu Qingya had to sit down again: "Damn it, I've never felt so aggrieved. If I had known that Tan Tai Yin was so crazy, why would we have killed Tan Tai Lie?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. It was too late to regret it now.
"Master Mu?" the voice outside the door urged again.
Mu Qianheng stood up, shook the hem of her skirt, and said, "Let's go. It's time to donate blood and essence again. I just hope that the mountain eagle that Mu Chuan released can find Tan Tai Lie soon."
Now, they can only place their hopes on Tan Tai Lie.
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out. The others looked at each other and followed him in silence.
Several people came to the meeting hall. Tan Tai Yin sat on the leader's throne and looked at them. He said softly, "Let's begin."
Mu Qianheng glanced sideways at his companion, sighed secretly, took a few steps forward, grabbed the dagger on the tray, and slashed his wrist hard. Blood dripped into the bronze coffin.
As soon as the blood dripped onto the bronze statue, it was immediately absorbed at an astonishing speed.
Following closely behind was Yue Tianxiao, then Lu Qingya, and then the elders of the Sacred Heart Sect, in that order.
After all nine people had completed the blood and essence sacrifice, Mu Qianheng asked, "Young Master, the forty-ninth day will come in two days. Can you give us the antidote to the Hua Gong Powder first?"
Hearing this, Tan Tai Yin raised his eyes slightly, his tone revealing a hint of joking: "Why are you panicking? We've endured all this time, not to mention these mere two days. When the time comes, I will give you the antidote..."
"What if you change your mind? Won't we be buried with you?!" Lu Qingya couldn't help but yelled out in anger.
Although they have been well served these days, they have no freedom and cannot go anywhere. They have to come on time to offer their blood and essence. This is like treating them like animals. How can he swallow this?
Tan Tai Yin's face darkened instantly. He waved his wide sleeves and an invisible gust of wind flew towards them.
"Elder Lu, since you're so eager to die, why don't I grant you your wish?"
"you…!"
"Don't blame me, Master. Elder Lu forgot to take his medicine when he went out this morning, and his mind is not quite right. Let's take him back now." Mu Qianheng pulled Lu Qingya and walked out.
Lu Qingya was stunned, and he kept turning back and yelling, "I'm not sick, why should I take medicine? If you have the guts, just let him kill me. I've had enough!"
Hearing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Mu Qianheng pulled him and quickened his pace.
After they left the meeting hall, Mu Qianheng sternly scolded Lu Qingya, "Why did you provoke him again? Are you really not afraid of death?"
"It's better to die than to be raised as an animal by him! It's just one life. I can be a hero in my next life!" Lu Qingya was so angry that his nostrils widened and he was gasping for breath.
Yue Tianxiao sighed helplessly and shook his head, "Brother Lu, why are you doing this? We've endured it all for so many days, why would we have to tear our faces off with him at this critical moment?"
"Master Yue is right. Just be patient. It's not too late to take revenge once you get the antidote." Mu Qianheng said.
Then he looked into the distance and murmured softly, "I just wonder if the mountain eagle can find Tan Tai Lie."
In the north, in a small village.
After listening to Shanying's words, Mo Yu realized that the world was about to fall into chaos, and he had to stop Tan Tai Yin's terrorist behavior.
The only solution now is...
"Mountain Eagle, contact Baichuan and ask him to come and see him." Among the many elders, he only trusted Baichuan.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Just then, Tang Xiaoyun walked out of the house holding Fusheng. Not seeing Shanying, he asked, "Where's Shanying?"
"Oh, he's gone."
"Gone?" Tang Xiaoyun wondered: [My boss is here, where is he going?]
Mo Yu chuckled and pointed to the seat opposite him, saying, "Come here and sit with me for a while."
Tang Xiaoyun naturally had no objection and sat down, placed Fusheng on the stone table, grabbed its two front paws, and made it stand on its two hind legs.
"This guy...seems to have grown up a bit."
"It eats well and sleeps well, it would be strange if it doesn't grow taller." Mo Yu said with a smile.
"That's right, it's my biological child after all." As he said that, he hugged Fusheng's head and kissed him.
Fusheng was also happy to be kissed by Tang Xiaoyun, and even licked his cheek with his tongue. The man and the wolf were having a lot of fun, but it made it difficult for someone who was watching on the side.
"Little rabbit, open the door... Oh, no, you are a wolf, not a rabbit. Start over."
"Be good, wolf cub, open the door, open it quickly, I want to come in, if you don't open it, then don't open it..."
Tang Xiaoyun grabbed Fusheng's two front paws and rubbed them together, singing nursery rhymes in a tone of coaxing a child. She looked like a nanny coaxing her own baby.
Mo Yu had never seen this side of Tang Xiaoyun. First, his eyes suddenly widened with a look of surprise, and then he showed an expression of helplessness and a wry smile of doting.
You know what, he's quite cute like this...
He laughed and played, and Mo Yu watched him playfully quietly. His eyes were almost stringy and sticky enough to almost entangle Tang Xiaoyun's every move.
At this time, the neighbor Aunt Song came out of the house and said to Tang Xiaoyun in her yard: "Erlang, are you free now?"
The two courtyards were separated only by a half-person-high bamboo fence. Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun raised his head from his playful behavior and said, "I'm free. What can I do for you, Auntie?"
"My chimney is blocked, and Goudan's father is not at home..." Aunt Song paused, glanced at Mo Yu subconsciously, and said, "If it's convenient for you...can you help me?"
"It's convenient. Wait for me."
He stood up and stuffed Fusheng into Mo Yu's arms. Just as he was about to leave, he was pulled back by Mo Yu: "How about I go..."
Tang Xiaoyun laughed and asked, "Can you also poke the chimney?"
Mo Yu was startled and answered honestly: "No, but I can..."
He was about to make a dirty joke, but was interrupted by Tang Xiaoyun: "Then you stay here quietly, I'll be back soon."
Mo Yu looked at Tang Xiaoyun's receding back, stared at her slender waist and perky buttocks, swallowed his saliva, and said to himself: I really want to lock him up at home and not let anyone see him.
Tang Xiaoyun was completely unaware of Mo Yu's horrible thoughts. He climbed up the ladder and poked the chimney with a wooden stick. The spider webs and other things blocking the chimney were immediately cleared away.
Thick smoke began to billow out of the chimney again. Aunt Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with gratitude, "Thanks to you. Otherwise, I don't know how long this chimney would have been blocked."
Tang Xiaoyun jumped down from the ladder neatly, patted the black ash on her hands, and smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Auntie, you are too polite. It's just a small thing. If you need anything in the future, just call me."
Hearing this, Aunt Song subconsciously stole a glance outside the house, then pulled Tang Xiaoyun closer and said, "Your husband must be unhappy that I'm ordering you around like this."
She did not forget the gloomy look on Mo Yu's face when he asked Tang Xiaoyun to come over for help.
Tang Xiaoyun didn't think much about it. She patted Aunt Song's hand and said, "Aunt, you're overthinking it. Dalang is not a stingy person. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Just as he was about to leave, Aunt Song pulled him back and warmly invited him, "Stay for dinner. Call... Dalang as well. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your guidance of Goudan."
"So... I don't need to eat, right?" Tang Xiaoyun scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"That won't do. You are our family's benefactor. It's settled. Come over for dinner later." She also took this opportunity to get closer to Dalang so that she wouldn't be scared by him every time.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Tang Xiaoyun had no choice but to agree.
Back in his yard, Mo Yu stared at him for a long time before asking, "Why did you take so long? Was it hard to poke the chimney?"
"Not really. I chatted with my aunt for a while and she asked us to come over for dinner later." Tang Xiaoyun said.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's face turned a little ugly, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry. In short, he just felt that it was not very good.
"You agreed?" Mo Yu asked.
"Well, it's just a meal, I asked you to come too."
"I don't want to go." Compared to eating, he wanted to eat him more.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun walked over to sit across from him, picked up Fusheng, and asked with a smile, "Are you really not going?"
"No."
"Well, then I have to go alone." He deliberately exaggerated his expression and glanced at Mo Yu's reaction.
Sure enough, when Mo Yu heard that he was going alone, his mouth was pouted so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
In the evening, Aunt Song's husband came back. She wiped her hands and walked into the yard, calling out, "Da Lang and Er Lang, come over for dinner."
"Hey, I'll be right there."
He deliberately acted very active, and every few steps he would steal a glance at Mo Yu who was still sitting at the stone table, to see if he would follow him.
But Mo Yu didn't follow him until he entered Aunt Song's room.
Aunt Song was startled and asked hurriedly, "Why are you alone? Where's Dalang?"
"Oh, he said he didn't..."
"Da Lang, come in and sit down!" Aunt Song went to the door to greet him.
Tang Xiaoyun turned around and saw Mo Yu appear at the door at some point.
He thought to himself: [Tsk, you said you wouldn't come, and now you're not coming.]
System: [Tsk, what do you know? Boss, you're just pretending to refuse, but you're actually following closely.]
Tang Xiaoyun: [Okay, okay.]
Aunt Song quickly asked Mo Yu to sit next to Tang Xiaoyun, and then shouted into the house: "Old man, bring up the stewed rabbit."
Then he turned around and took out a jar of wine, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This is the peach blossom wine I brewed myself, waiting for you to taste it."
As soon as the cork was opened, the room was filled with the aroma of wine, and Tang Xiaoyun's wine craving was immediately aroused.
He hurriedly handed over the bowl and said, "Let me try it."
Aunt Song happily poured him a large bowl full of wine. Tang Xiaoyun couldn't wait to pick it up and take a sip. He sighed and said, "Ha, it really is a good wine!"
Aunt Song then looked at Mo Yu and asked, "Would you like something to drink, Dalang?"
"I don't drink..."
"Why not drink? It's so rare to have good wine, it would be a shame not to try it." Tang Xiaoyun picked up the bowl in front of him and said to Aunt Song, "Fill it up for him."
