Several large ships set sail and chased the waves, heading straight to the center of the lake. Soon they could see the towering sacred trees, which were very spectacular. Many people saw this magical scene for the first time and were stunned and speechless.
Returning to the boundary between turbid water and water, Ningshuang was still frightened after thinking about the thrilling scene last time.
Sirius directed several large ships to line up and connect them with ropes. Then he took out a snow-white rope as thin as a finger and asked people to tie it to the main mast. He coiled the remaining rope around Liumu's shoulders and said earnestly: "We are ready. We are just waiting for Brother Liumu to show off his skills and tie the rope to the sacred tree. Everyone will work together to pull it down."
This rope was white, silky, and very light. Liu Mu was full of doubts, "It seems that such a thin rope cannot withstand strong force!"
Sirius patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This silk silk can carry tens of thousands of pounds, so you can rest assured!" As he said that, he waved his hand and two people lifted something up.
"Brother Liumu, please take a look at my magic weapon. I've made it tailor-made for you. I will definitely succeed immediately!"
The object was five feet long and about two feet wide. When opened, it was full of blood. It turned out to be a board made of blood jade.
"That day Brother Liumu fell into the turbid water. Your clothes were corroded, but the blood jade sword was not damaged. I know that blood jade can also resist the erosion of turbid water. So I used blood jade to make a board, and Brother Liumu crawled on his knees. On it, you can use your hands as paddles to easily paddle through turbid water."
With six eyes, he saw that the jade plate was thin and narrow. He held it in his hand and hesitated.
"Brother Liumu, don't worry. I have been tested many times and can float on the water with a heavy weight. It's easy."
The horn sounded from behind and the other ships were ready. Liu Mu no longer hesitated, and carried the Celestial Silkworm rope behind him. The blood jade plate floated on the water. When he stepped on it, it wobbled and almost fell into the water. Ningshuang reached out to support him, her concern was beyond words.
"You will definitely succeed!" Her expression was rarely shy, but also a little sad.
Liu Mu gently held her hand in response, and then carefully crawled on the jade board. After it stabilized, he used his hand as an oar to paddle the water. The blood jade board slowly moved forward. The rope behind him stretched and quickly crossed the turbid water. dividing line.
The blood jade plate sank slightly, as if the buoyancy of the turbid water was less. The clothes on the arms were quickly corroded, and a burning sensation came in waves. With six eyes to pay attention to, the "Tianmu" was getting closer and closer, and his heart was also hanging.
There is a small piece of land around "Tianmu". The land is black and hard as iron. Liu Mu dragged the blood jade slab onto the land and looked up at the sacred tree. Its color was golden and its surface texture was regular, as if it had been carefully polished. It towered into the clouds and its diameter was as thick as a waist. Such a huge thing could topple over with human power. ? Even before Liumu started, he was already feeling disheartened.
He tied the silkworm rope to the sacred tree. Compared with the giant thing, the rope was as negligible as a strand of hair. He sighed secretly, fearing that this time his work would be in vain. But he still crossed his arms and waved his arms as promised, and the strong men on several large ships rowed with oars. Water splashed, the wind blew the sails, and the ropes of the silkworms immediately tightened.
The sacred tree only swayed slightly, but even so, the upper clouds were stirred and suddenly surged like a boiling pot. The dark clouds extended and pressed down on the top. The originally sunny sky suddenly darkened, as if there was a heavy downpour.
However, the "Tianmu" did not fall. Instead, the Tiancan rope was under great force and seemed to be breaking. Liu Mu sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He suddenly remembered the words of the city lord that day, "To defeat the 'Tianmu', we must rely on your strength!" But what else can he do now?
He thought for a moment, tied the remaining rope around his waist, and plunged into the turbid water. The familiar burning heat spread throughout his body, and his body was pulled down by the suction. He tried hard to keep his consciousness clear. He finally saw clearly the section of "sky wood" under the turbid water. It turned out that it had been corroded by the turbid water and was only as thick as a child's arm.
He swam over with great effort, took out his blood jade knife, and slashed with all his strength...
The "Tianmu" trembled violently, then toppled over, splashing water all over the sky, and almost capsized the ship. Everyone was horrified. Looking back, the turbid water surged like a boiling pot. The aroused water turned into black gas and rose up, condensing into a thick mist in mid-air, with various colored light spots shining in it, which was very strange.
The turbid water lost its color and became an ordinary lake, calm and calm. Only then did everyone wake up. Some called "Tianmu" and some called Liumu. Several large boats came over and looked around on the water.
Liumu was floating in the water, unconscious. Everyone fished him out on the boat and slowly woke up after calling in various ways. As for the "Tianmu", I searched everywhere to no avail. I only saw an object floating on the water. It was several feet long and no more than four fingers thick. It was a golden wooden stick...
The black mist in the sky persisted, and strange light spots shone like stars in it. People in the city began to panic again. It was rumored that the pillars supporting the sky were knocked down. The sky was angry and covered the sky with miasma, and all things would wither and die.
Liumu has become the target of public criticism again. He is often attacked by rain of vegetables when walking on the street. It turns out that the transformation between hero and villain can happen in an instant, and love and hate can only be separated by a thought.
"Ghosts" have not attacked the city in the past few days, which only increases people's fear, as if the sky is really going to collapse and everything is extinct.
A big event happened in the past few days, Bai Quan was killed. The death of the only doctor in the city only increased people's fear. Everyone speculated on the identity of the murderer. It was possible that a catastrophe was imminent and someone killed Bai Quan in order to snatch the life-saving medicine.
Liumu came to the small building in the city again and climbed up the stairs, his footsteps could be heard crisply. There were mostly old faces in the hall, but he was slightly surprised to see Mu Yang. It seemed that he had desperately saved his own life last time, and he had gained the upper hand by taking credit for breaking into the room, and had already reached the core level.
Mu Yang was busy pouring tea for everyone, and when he saw Liu Mu, he gave him a slight nod. Liu Ming sat down steadily and everyone began to discuss matters.
First, let’s discuss the black mist and stars that linger in the sky. Everyone’s opinions are difficult to obey. Later, when we talked about the "Tianmu", someone presented the golden stick about several feet long, and everyone whispered.
"Could this be a 'Tianmu'? How could such a thick and long thing that reaches the sky become so small?"
"I held it in my hand. There was nothing special about it other than the weight."
"Perhaps the 'Tianmu' disappeared after it collapsed. This is just an ordinary thing."
At this time, Liumu Youyou interjected: "It is definitely the 'Heavenly Wood', because I have observed it closely and know its color and texture. It is not surprising that such a magical object can be expanded and contracted at will."
As he spoke, he held the "Tianmu" in his palm, and suddenly its brilliance shone brightly. When everyone was shocked, Yingyue suddenly said: "The city lord's intention is that the 'Tianmu' should belong to Liumu!"
Sirius shook his head after hearing this, "Such a magical thing should be handed over to me for careful study before it can be put to great use!" Everyone was about to express their opinions when Sirius suddenly frowned and the tea cup in his hand fell into the dust, "This water is poisonous. It’s the poison of Baiquan!”
Everyone was shocked. Mu Yang, who was beside Tianlang, suddenly took action, and the blood jade sword pierced into Tianlang's chest with a flash of light. Before everyone could react to the unexpected situation, he stabbed Luo Lei's weak spot with his backhand. When he pounced on Ningshuang again, Liumu had already swung his body to block him, and the blood jade knife pierced his shoulder, causing blood to splash.
Liumu raised his foot and kicked him away, and asked sharply: "Who are you? Why did you suddenly kill him?"
Mu Yang wanted to grab the door and escape, but Xue Ting was already guarding the door. Seeing the crowd approaching step by step, he knew that he was doomed, so he sneered: "I will get rid of Bai Quan and these two generals for my master, and I will live up to my master's trust. You will never succeed! Long live my master 'Ghost'!" , he stabbed himself in the chest with a backhand knife.
The small building that had been peaceful and quiet just now was suddenly found dead on the spot. It was quite bloody. Ningshuang reacted, bursting into tears, and kept calling Luo Lei's name, but he would never wake up again.
"It's all my fault. It was me who led the wolf into the house and killed Brother Lei. I really deserve to die!" She stamped her feet and beat her chest, regretting it endlessly.
Yingyue sighed: "We were careless. Didn't we expect that a secret agent of the 'ghost' would sneak in? But he is a god and is in charge of life and death. Why bother?"
Liumu interjected: "This shows that we have found the right direction. Even the 'ghost' feels nervous. He sent people to infiltrate to weaken our strength and prevent our escape plan."
"The city lord also analyzed it in the same way." Yingyue said: "But even if we have the 'Tianmu' in hand, we still don't know how to apply it."
"I have something to tell the city lord about the 'Tianmu'. It was not the power of mortals like us that caused the Optimus Prime to fall. The reason is that its roots have been completely corroded by the turbid water. Our power only accelerated its fall!" "
"Such a divine object was also corroded by the turbid water? Now the turbid water has risen into black mist. What is it?"
"Many questions remain unanswered. I just feel that someone is guiding us somewhere, and we are like chess pieces. We can't help but be manipulated by others."
Yingyue pondered for a long time and then said: "The city lord has no solution. He asked you how to continue the matter?"
"I'm going to take 'Tianmu' to the forbidden monster area again and ask the owner of Soul Burial Valley."
When Liumu set off, Ningshuang came to see him off. She gently touched Rokumu's shoulder with her hand, which was the same arm that blocked her fatal knife that day. Her eyes were very soft, showing a different kind of emotion.
He was in a mood and wanted to hold Ningshuang's hand, but she quickly dodged him, "No matter what, I'm waiting for you to come back!" These were her gentle words that Liu Mu heard.
Ningshuang had gone far away, and Liu Mu felt a little sad. The sky is still filled with black fog, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night. Behind him was the frightening place of death. He no longer hesitated, carried the "Sky Tree" on his back, and then disappeared into the forest without hesitation.
Soul Burial Valley is still peaceful, and the black fog in the sky has not affected the place. The sun is shining brightly, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Yun Yi was working in the fields. When he saw Liu Mu, he stepped forward and said, "My master has a divine fortune. He saw the vision in the sky in the distance and knew that the master has obtained the 'Tianmu'. He asked the master to stay for a few days until the master comes out of seclusion." , that’s the day of success!”
"But I want to see your master as soon as possible. I have too many questions to ask him!"
Yun Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Sir, don't be anxious, it will take a few days for the master to come out of seclusion. He asked me to teach you how to control a sword so that you can unleash the power of 'Tianmu'!"
