I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 601 Cursed Sacrifice.

"speak English!"

Li Mu had a gloomy face. Although his hostility had been basically resolved, he still had a nameless anger coming out of nowhere.

Seeing this, Xiang Meng felt that the memories of the dead began to attack him again.

He fell to the ground with a plop, howling at the top of his lungs,

"Cousin, you have to make the decision for me. Niu Niu from Niu Village and I are in love with each other and we are almost getting married!"

"My eldest cousin indiscriminately broke up my good... er, broke us up, and even forced me back to die. Cousin------"

Li Mu's face turned dark, and he slowly raised his hand and made a slapping gesture on the face.

Seeing this, Xiang Meng closed his mouth instantly, and then said quickly,

"My cousin said, 'Mengke', which is the language of our grasslands. In the language of you Xia people, it roughly means forever."

"There is a sea of ​​red calyx flowers to the north of the royal court. It is the place where the cursed demon elephant was mentioned by my cousin before."

"There is a blood pool in the sea of ​​flowers. Children on the grassland are baptized in the blood pool when they are born. People with impure hearts will be cursed by the blood pool..."

Xiang Meng was talking excitedly when Li Mu stood up and stepped in front of him. His voice was low and obviously restrained.

"Tell the important point!"

"Yes, yes, cousin, don't be angry, the point, the point is...ah! Yes! Monk, the gourd, the gourd is in the middle of the blood pool!"

Xiang Meng quickly hugged his head, closed his eyes and shouted.

At this time, Jun Jiuling floated to Li Mu's side, looked at Li Mu with gentle eyes, and said softly,

"Since you are here, your brother will not be in any danger, you bastard. I want to hear about the curse."

Li Mu was stunned and realized something was wrong.

He was indeed a little anxious just now, and just wanted to resolve the matter here as soon as possible and take that naughty kid Li Wu back.

A hint of gloom flashed across Li Mu's eyes. Logically speaking, he and Li Wu did not have much contact, let alone any feelings for each other.

Besides, Li Mu hates children the most, especially boys around seven or eight years old.

Anyone who has not gone through this age knows best how annoying it is.

But Li Mu had to admit that he really seemed to care about Li Wu.

Is it because of the King of Yan? Or is it because they are brothers?

Otherwise, he would support Li Ling'er and treat this boy as his brother-in-law.

Li Mu couldn't tell which reason it was, or maybe all of them. He took a deep breath, gave Jun Jiuling a grateful look, and said in a calm tone,

"continue."

Hearing this, Xiang Meng frowned, looking somewhat at a loss, muttering "and... and more" in a low voice, and then his eyes lit up and he quickly added,

"Yes, yes, no one has ever been able to enter the center of the blood pool. If my cousin wants to go there... I, I will try my best. As long as I become the clan leader in the future..."

"Continue from the blood pool curse." Li Mu kicked Xiang Meng on the thigh.

Xiang Meng exclaimed, but found himself sitting steadily beside the tea table. He was stunned at first, then he picked up the cup of tea that Li Mu had not drunk before, drank it in a few gulps, wiped his sleeves, and then smiled awkwardly,

"Thank you, cousin. Thank you, cousin."

Li Mu turned around and sat down beside him, tapping the table with his fingers, and slowly uttered two words, "Continue."

The men nodded repeatedly.

The so-called blood pool sacrifice is a unique sacrifice on the grassland.

It is usually held in spring every year.

Each tribe would bring the babies born in the previous year to the royal court to be baptized in the blood pool.

Among them there will be children with extraordinary talent for martial arts training. They can reach the first level of external martial arts at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but it will be difficult to go further.

These children will be specially trained by the Tianxiang Clan. Those who can retain their mental faculties are called elephant children. They are a fighting force that cannot be underestimated.

Those who are mentally damaged are called elephant slaves and are regarded as born demons by the Rannu people.

Of course, these are only a small number of cases. Most people are no different from ordinary people after undergoing sacrificial baptism.

After listening to Xiang Meng's story, Li Mu turned his gaze to Jun Jiuling.

According to Jun Jiuling's description, the Sanyang Gourd is actually a magical storage weapon.

And unlike the holy-level magic weapon Xun Meng, which is a small world of its own, the Sanyang Gourd can only hold dead objects, and its owner has no other hobbies except drinking.

So the Sanyang Gourd is actually just a wine gourd with a larger space.

Seeing Li Mu's gaze, Jun Jiuling shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.

Li Mu looked at Xiang Meng again and asked,

"The Celestial Elephant Army? Is it the warrior army that attacked Donglai Pass before?"

"Yes..." Hearing Li Mu mention this matter again, Xiang Meng shrank his neck slightly and smiled awkwardly.

"Cousin, that really has nothing to do with us. We were also bewitched by those Xia people..."

"Hehe... Of course, I'm not talking about my cousin. We are all family."

Xiang Meng smiled and continued to flatter him.

"Don't worry, cousin. Most of those people have died, and the rest have been locked up. If it weren't for Grandpa's serious illness, I would have been ready to negotiate peace with the Emperor of Xing Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly remembered something and frowned and asked,

"Did two Taoist priests come here before?"

"That's right. It was the two Taoist priests who dealt with that group of people. It was also after that that Grandpa planned to negotiate peace with the Emperor of Xing Dynasty."

Xiang Meng slapped his thigh, patted his stinky foot in a very servile manner, and licked his face and said,

"My cousin is truly a man of great kindness and righteousness. He dealt with the traitor Zatu and even asked his friends to help us eliminate the internal troublemakers."

"What do you mean, friend?"

Li Muminru noticed something was wrong and asked tentatively,

"You mean, those two Taoists are my friends?"

"Isn't it? That's what the two Taoist priests said." Xiang Meng looked at Li Mu in confusion, and suddenly felt uneasy.

"Friend?" Li Mu kept repeating these two words, and he felt that these two words were somewhat ironic.

He stood up slowly, looked at Xiang Meng, and asked,

"Take me to see the blood pool, okay?"

Hearing this, Xiang Meng's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, and he laughed dryly,

"Cousin... It's not that I don't want to, but except for sacrifices, no one can get close to the blood pool at other times, otherwise they will be punished by heaven."

"Forget it, just tell me the location."

Li Mu waved his hand, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, two figures walked in quickly from outside the hall, "Second brother!"

Li Ru's face was filled with excitement. When he saw Li Mu, he subconsciously opened his arms. He had already come close to him. He seemed to have thought of something, then he stepped back half a step, bowed and said,

"Li Ru, I meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing this, Bai Yun behind him also quickly knelt down and saluted, "Bai Yun greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Mu hurried forward to support Li Ru, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "Brother, what are you doing?"

For some reason, Li Mu's calling of "Big Brother" came very naturally. He even felt much closer to the eldest son of King Yan this time than last time.

"Hey! Etiquette cannot be abolished!" Li Ru put a smile on his face again, patted Li Mu's shoulder heavily, and said in disbelief,

"I just heard Xiao Wu say that you were here, and I didn't quite believe it... By the way, thank you for taking care of my mother!"

Li Mu seemed to be in a good mood and started joking.

"You're just thanking me with your mouth? Could it be that Lingyin Pavilion has closed down?"
