Mu Qianxue said slowly, her voice trembling slightly and her expression dejected.
Zhang Shan was stunned for a moment, and quickly put down the food in his hand, with a face full of disbelief, and said: "Impossible, my eldest brother is dead, how can you still be alive? He cherishes life so much, and he won't do it even if you die.
Damn, you are definitely lying to me, or you killed him."
"It is true that I killed him." Mu Qianxue laughed at herself, took a sip of wine, her eyes were red, and continued: "He died for me, and I also want him to be alive, more than anyone else.
"
After listening to this, Zhang Shan felt a little confused and tears welled up in his eyes.
I don't know when, he has regarded Li Xiaotian as his real big brother. After all, after staying together for so long, he should be the person he has spent the most time with in these years. What's more, Li Xiaotian has saved him again and again. He is not a tree.
Who can be ruthless? Zhang Shan already regarded Li Xiaotian as his half-brother when he was rescued by Li Xiaotian after he fled and was caught.
Without your eldest brother, it's like the backbone of the family has collapsed. I suddenly feel empty in my heart. Can you not be sad?
Ever since the conversation between Zhang Shan and Mu Qianxue began, the owner of Random Inn had been listening carefully. The two of them were far away from her. Although the inn was noisy, it was easy for her to listen quietly due to her cultivation.
After hearing from Mu Qianxue that Li Xiaotian was dead, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel nervous. Based on her experience, she could tell that Mu Qianxue was not lying.
"Come up with me for a moment."
The shopkeeper walked up to Mu Qianxue and said solemnly.
Mu Qianxue knew that the shopkeeper had a higher cultivation level than her, and judging from his tone and look, she seemed to know him.
"Since she is his friend, she should give her an explanation."
Mu Qianxue thought so and followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
In the side room, the shopkeeper and Mu Qianxue sat opposite each other.
"what is going on?"
The shopkeeper got straight to the point and asked questions first.
Mu Qianxue calmed down and said: "I rescued my mother from Xuanhuangcao. Because he has research on poisons, I asked him to search for Xuanhuangcao with me. He is very smart and roughly estimated the possible consequences of Xuanhuangcao.
area, helped me save a lot of time..."
The shopkeeper was a little impatient and said: "Let's talk about the key points."
Mu Qianxue continued: "When we found somewhere in the inner domain, the two of us broke into the territory of a seventh-level early stage red-trained smallpox snake. Because I had a secret treasure, I blocked its attack and we both escaped death.
, but it was still knocked away by it and fell into a deep cave. However, I never expected that the black and yellow grass that could not be found after wearing iron shoes would actually grow in that deep cave. However, fate has a trick on people. Sadly,
Both of us have planted Xuanhuangcao poison."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was confused and couldn't help but interrupt: "Xuanhuangcao is a strange and poisonous thing in the world. I only heard about it in legends, but I didn't expect it to actually exist. But as far as I know, this thing is
The most deadly poison in the world, even the powerful ones in the Tongtian realm cannot avoid it. If both of you are poisoned by Xuanhuangcao poison, it is impossible that he is dead and you are still alive? Don't tell me that you are from Qixing Pavilion.
If you are born with a chaotic body, you will be immune to this poison."
Mu Qianxue smiled bitterly and said: "The shopkeeper has good eyesight. I hope so. If that's the case, I can save him, but unfortunately it's not the case."
Mu Qianxue sighed, and then said: "I don't know how I survived. His cultivation level is lower than mine, and he was poisoned faster than me. He fainted after a while, and soon I also fainted. Wait.
When I woke up, I was already in Qixingshan Pavilion. It was my father who brought me back. I asked him about it, and he said that when he sensed that my life was in danger, he tried his best to rush over.
, when we got to the bottom of the cave, we found that the poison on my body was attracted crazily by Shiba, who was unconscious. After the poison on my body was cleansed, my father was eager to save me, so he quickly took me away."
The shopkeeper frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I have a question. Why did the poison on your body reach Lu Shiba? He has been in a coma, unless he wakes up midway and finds out that he has no control over Xuanhuang.
He is immune to grass poison, so he introduced poison to save you, but that’s not right. He has a way to detoxify Xuanhuang grass poison, so how could he be poisoned to death? It doesn’t make sense. Then, the problem can only arise with your father. He lied.
Already."
Mu Qianxue said: "You have also ignored a possibility. Detoxifying yourself and helping others detoxify are two different situations. He should have had a problem when he helped me induce the poison. In other words, he died because of me."
The shopkeeper thought thoughtfully and said: "It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but is it the most likely possibility that he is not dead? However, judging from your decadent look and determined tone, it seems that no miracle has happened."
"Yes, I went back to the cave and took a look. Judging from the clothes, I can tell it's him." Mu Qianxue said disappointedly.
"The dead cannot come back. He and I finally met each other, and we can be regarded as half-friends. Please take me to pay homage to him later," the shopkeeper said with emotion.
Mu Qianxue nodded.
"Do you like him?" the shopkeeper asked suddenly. Looking at Mu Qianxue's stunned look, he added: "From the first time you entered my inn, I knew you were a woman disguised as a man. Although you
You hide it very well, but a woman's intuition tells me that you are a woman."
Mu Qianxue has never seriously thought about this problem. Now that the shopkeeper has broken it, she can't help but think back carefully about her behavior these days: worried for him, sad for him, crying for him, and depressed for him.
Isn’t it just love?
Thinking of this, Mu Qianxue replied unequivocally: "Yes."
The shopkeeper did not continue the topic, and only said: "You wait in the side room, I will come as soon as I can."
After speaking, the shopkeeper left the side room, and within a few steps, she saw three people waiting for her anxiously. Needless to say, Zhang Shan, the other two must have been shouted out quickly, namely Zheng Xinlan and Fan Dachun.
"Shopkeeper, how is my elder brother?" Zhang Shan asked hurriedly with a worried look on his face.
The shopkeeper glanced at him and did not answer. He only said: "Dachun, you go and cook two delicious dishes. I will take them to the mountains to commemorate him. Xinlan, before I come back, you can take care of the inn."
The result of the word "memorial" is obvious. The shopkeeper already said it very tactfully.
Zheng Xinlan looked lonely and said: "Okay, shopkeeper."
"What a great group of people. They are sweet-tongued and clever. They rarely share my appetite. It's such a pity. I can only cook two specialty dishes to show my regret." Fan Dachun sighed.
"Shopkeeper, can I go?" Zhang Shan begged.
The shopkeeper glanced at him sideways and said, "I'm going to the inner realm. You can go too, as long as you can keep up with my speed."
Zhang Shan was speechless for a moment.
With everything ready, the shopkeeper and Mu Qianxue came outside the mountains.
"Use my flying sword. It's faster and saves a lot of trouble." Mu Qianxue said while taking out the long sword.
"If you had such a good thing, why don't you tell me earlier? Why don't you fly directly from the city? It will be a waste of time." After complaining, the shopkeeper continued: "I see that you have just entered the Three Dan Realm, and you have to carry another person.
, can it be done?”
Mu Qianxue replied: "Fly lower and slower, it shouldn't be a problem."
The shopkeeper said directly: "I don't like ink stains, so let me handle the sword instead."
Mu Qianxue gave the flying sword to her with some doubts.
"Has the shopkeeper ever controlled an animal before?"
After the two of them got on the sword, Mu Qianxue was surprised that the shopkeeper was much more proficient in flying the sword. He was obviously a veteran for many years. You must know that this transportation tool is not accessible to ordinary monks, even if it is extraordinary.
There may not be any monks, which shows that the shopkeeper is also a person with some background.
"Yes, I haven't used this thing for some years." The shopkeeper replied politely, and then reminded: "I fly very fast, so you have to guide me carefully and don't get distracted."
Although Mu Qianxue was a little curious about the shopkeeper's origins, but seeing that the shopkeeper had no intention of telling him, she couldn't continue to ask further questions, so she could only stand behind and help guide him.
Nearly half an hour later, the two finally arrived at their destination.
Looking at the collapsed entrance of the cave, there was a wooden sign that read the tomb of Lu Shiba. The shopkeeper took out the wine and food for the memorial ceremony from the storage bag. After arranging them, he spread the wine and then said: "The deceased is gone.
Let’s go back.”
So, after a short stay, the two of them headed back home.
When passing by the periphery, the two saw a familiar figure being chased by a Yuan Beast. A closer look revealed that this person was Zhang Shan.
