Chapter 26: The Son
Inside the cave, it was unusually quiet. The cracking sound of wood, the slight whistling sound of wind, and the slow sound of dripping water could be heard..
Xiao Ning stood at the entrance of the cave and glanced coldly at Lin Huang who was sitting on the bed." Can money buy your life? I'm so blind to save you..
”
Just now, Lin Huang finished the bowl of soup and said slowly to the cat who was nibbling on a pancake at the entrance," Name a price. How much will it cost to settle this? One thousand gold taels is enough, right? When we return to our hometown, it will be easy to buy a street, let alone build a house..
Marry a wife? 30 to 50 wives, that shouldn't be a problem.
”
Long Cat's eyes were red."Can money buy back my little mouse brother's life? It's ridiculous. Isn't the life of our poor people our lives?".
”
Lin Huang sat on the bed in a daze. Seeing that Xiao Ning did not care anymore, the cat started to get restless. However, Xiao Ning stopped him." Come with me. That guy's reinforcements are here.".
”
A few breaths after Xiao Ning and the others disappeared into the cave entrance, a bronze-skinned man appeared at the cave entrance." Kid Lin, how are you? You really worried us a lot.
”
Lin Huang looked at him and smiled blankly." Brother Ma, did I do something wrong?"
"Kid, what are you talking about?"
------
Wu Zhen,
Before Yuan Zhui and the others could take a few steps, a small child bumped into Mu Mengbai." Big brother, my adult is in the teahouse next door. Would you like to talk to him?"
Yuan Zao glanced at Mu Mengbai, meaning,"Why are there acquaintances here?" At the same time, they were confident that the Wu family did not have to act like this in Wu Town..
After all, as the local snake of Wu Town, they did not have to be shy..
The teahouse is not big, but the tea fragrance is arbitrary..
In a private room, two middle-aged men and an old man were sipping tea. The old man seemed to have a lot of experience in tea ceremony, which was pleasing to watch..
Seeing Mu Mengbai and Yuan Zhui arrive, the old man sitting in the main seat smiled and gestured for them to sit down." Drink some tea after dinner. It helps digestion.".
”
Looking at the tea placed in front of them, Mu Meng and Bai were really a little restless..
The aura of these three people didn't look like they were easy to mess with..
"Guys, what's the matter? Let's get to the point..
Is it to show goodwill to the Wu family or stand up for the Wu family? I, Mu Mengbai, accept it..
”
" Oh?" Hearing Mu Mengbai announce his name, the three people present were stunned. They looked at Mu Mengbai with eyes that were like a hungry man looking at a woman..
After taking a sip of tea, the old man, who seemed to want to suppress his excitement, said softly," Brother, can you do an experiment with me? Of course, the experiment will definitely not hurt your life..
”
The old man took out a very old compass from his chest and said,"Brother, I hope I can borrow a drop of your blood.".
”
Mu Mengbai frowned." What if I say no?"
The old man rubbed his hands together." Then we can wait, or you can ask for anything?"
For a moment, Mu Mengbai was a little uncertain. He looked at Yuan Zhui as if he wanted to ask for his opinion..
But this is the first time I've seen such a situation..
"I want to ask, what is the use of this compass?"
The old man looked at Yuan Zui and wanted to say something for a moment..
"If you don't tell me, I won't do it..
But you have to say, I can lend you a drop of blood.
”
Seeing Mu Mengbai say so, the old man gritted his teeth and said,"Actually, this compass has no use. Its only use is to find people.".
”
:.
"Looking for someone?"
The old man nodded."Every four years in our tribe, a son arrives.
We just don't know who or when he's gonna show up..
And this compass is how we can find him..
”
"Then how did you find us?"
The old man smiled awkwardly."Actually, we just happened to be together.".
A few days ago, the wizards in our tribe performed divination, and the result was that it would arrive in the next few days..
Wu Town is the only road to our tribe, and Longevity Tower in Wu Town is the place where people flow most densely..
So we're just gonna sit here.
”
"But it's a sea of people.
”
"We are only looking for martial cultivators who cultivate wood attribute..
And when this little brother just made his move in the restaurant, we happened to be there..
”
Speaking of which, in fact, everyone already understands.
"You suspect me? I'm the so-called Holy Son you're looking for?"
old man nodded.
" In other words, only wood-attributed martial artists will react to this compass?"
The old man shook his head." Pure wood attribute..
If the wood attribute is miscellaneous, then it will not work..
”
When Mu Mengbai heard this, a helpless smile appeared on his face. He was a pure wood-attribute martial cultivator. Actually, there was no need to test him. He did not run away..
" It's a coincidence in this world. Have you never thought that there would be many pure wood-attribute martial cultivators?"
Faced with the question of redemption, the old man nodded." We thought about it before, but according to the notes left by the tribe, every Holy Son came here to find something..
”
Mu Mengbai and Yuan Zhui looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes..
In fact, it was reasonable for Yuanzhen to suddenly hear such a shocking thing, but it was a little unexpected for Mu Mengbai, who looked shocked..
Mu Mengbai never expected that his master would not tell him such a secret..
Not even a whisper..
Mu Mengbai dripped a drop of blood onto the compass. In an instant, the compass shined with a green luster visible to the naked eye, like a cluster of living grass..
The old man and the two middle-aged men looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. The green luster lasted for only a few seconds before disappearing..
The compass returned to normal again..
"I wonder if this little brother has a token of the Holy Son?"
"Saint Child Token?"
It turned out that the old man had a trick up his sleeve. Although he wasn't lying, he wasn't telling the whole truth..
It was obvious how important this Holy Son was to them. He was actually so cautious and cautious..
Mu Mengbai instantly thought of something. The wooden fan in his sleeve suddenly unfolded..
The Wooden Forest Fan was a legacy treasure of the Wood Pavilion. Only the next Pavilion Master of the Wood Pavilion could carry it. In fact, if it wasn't for this trip to the Five Elements Mountain, Mu Mengbai wouldn't have been qualified to bring the Wooden Forest Fan out..
When they saw Mu Sen Shan, the old man and the two middle-aged men knelt down." Mu Sen Tribe Lin Tianying, Lin Gaofeng, Lin Gaoshan. Greetings, Holy Son.".
