Facing Guo Yuqing, the big brother whom he had known for just over a day, Li Mu felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
Unconsciously, he let go of all the mental defenses and pressures. Since he came to this planet, it was the first time that Li Mu did not feel pressured by the secrets he carried. Instead, he was somewhat unrestrained and unrestrained.
Guo Yuqing had already taught Li Mu the secret skill of Heart Heavenly Shoot.
Li Mu also kept it in mind.
This secret martial art book was exquisite and profound, which could not be fully understood in a short time. Li Mu needed to spend a certain amount of time to practice it slowly. Once he succeeded in practicing it, its power would be extremely amazing. For Li Mu, there was no doubt that it would be a great benefit.
In addition, Guo Yuqing almost told Li Mu everything he knew. He imparted all his knowledge and knowledge about martial arts to Li Mu without reservation.
Li Mu kept the secret that he was an earthling and did not reveal the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing because of the importance of the matter. He also brought out some other principles and techniques that the old faker once told him and discussed them with Guo Yuqing one by one.
For Guo Yuqing, even a casual remark from the old faker was a great shock.
Many of the old faker's words contained the martial arts principles. Li Mu might not have a deep understanding of them with his current cultivation and attainments, but for Guo Yuqing, it was like a head-on blow. In an instant, he felt that the dark clouds were dispelled and the sun rose.
Some bottlenecks and puzzles that had troubled him for a long time suddenly loosened.
"Wonderful! If I had learned this method earlier, I could have reversed that battle."
When Guo Yuqing heard that, he was overjoyed and couldn't help jumping up.
"Brother Mu, which sect are you from? Your master's attainments in martial arts are simply like that of an immortal. I'm afraid that even the heads of the top nine Holy Clans may not have a glimpse of such exquisite theories and views. "Guo Yuqing said with great emotion.
Li Mu said, "My master is an unworldly master. He is like a dragon that shows its head but never its tail. I can't see him often, let alone know his real identity." He roughly described the wretched image of the old faker. Of course, he didn't tell him that the old faker was actually not on this planet.
That kind of concealment made Li Mu feel a little guilty.
Because Guo Yuqing did not hide anything from him.
But it was indeed a matter of great importance, and it was a private matter that had nothing to do with others or even the planet. So, after a moment of hesitation, Li Mu decided to keep it a secret for the time being. When there was a chance in the future, he could come clean.
"In this world, there are many otherworldly masters who play games. That's how it is. Your master must be an extraordinary person who has great attainments in the world." Guo Yuqing sighed with emotion and said, "Brother Mu, you have a famous teacher. Hahaha, you should drink to your heart's content. Come on, have another bowl."
"Cheers." Li Mu raised his bowl high.
The "Xiantian Skill" and the "Zhenwu Boxing" had transformed his physique, so his capacity for liquor had also become amazing. After drinking with Guo Yuqing for such a long time, he had drunk six or seven jars of strong liquor with the arrow, but he only felt a little tipsy, not too drunk.
After drinking, Guo Yuqing only felt spirited. He laughed and said, "Brother Mu, you and I hit it off the first time we met, and we had a good talk. If you don't mind, you and I can become sworn brothers in this cave with the water as the pledge and the stone as the witness. What do you think?"
Li Mu was overjoyed. He stood up and said, "That's my wish. I dare not ask."
Guo Yuqing burst into laughter.
He rose to the air, and between his five fingers, sharp arrow qi was swirling. He casually grabbed at the wall of the cave, and a one-meter-square stone was cut neatly by the arrow qi and fell in front of the two. Then, he used his finger as an arrow to cut the stone. In a twinkling of an eye, a simple incense burner appeared in front of the two.
He did the same and cut out two stone bowls.
The stone was the witness.
Li Mu poured the water from the underground river of the Nine-dragons Fall into the incense burner.
With the water as the pledge.
The fine liquor was poured into the stone bowls.
Li Mu directly cut his wrist and dripped a drop of blood into the liquor.
Guo Yuqing was stunned. Obviously, there was no such procedure in this world. But he immediately came to his senses. Very excited, he cut his wrist and dripped a drop of blood into the liquor.
Blood, in this martial arts world, also had a very special meaning.
Bloodline played an irreplaceable role in the history of reproduction of any creatures in any world.
The two knelt in front of the stone table of the incense burner.
"With the heaven above and the earth below, with the water as the pledge and the stone as the witness, Li Mu, the earthling, and Brother Guo Yuqing, are sworn brothers of the opposite sex. From now on, we will share weal and woe, honor and disgrace. I don't ask to be born in the same year, month, and day, but I ask to die in the same year, month, and day."
Li Mu said loudly with a passionate and solemn face.
This was the longest and most touching vow of the three brothers in the peach garden on Earth. Slightly tipsy and excited, Li Mu directly said it out loud.
Guo Yuqing was stunned. He did hear the word "earthling" from Li Mu's mouth, but he didn't think much about it. He thought it was just a place in this world. But he didn't expect this little brother to say such a vow. Although moved, he was a little hesitant.
"Brother Guo?" Li Mu looked at him.
Guo Yuqing said hesitantly, "Brother Mu, I …"
He was a little embarrassed.
The dilemma was that he knew very well that he and his wife had been found by people in Jianghu. It wouldn't be long before the Holy Clans came to hunt them down. At that time, although they had Tianjizi's approval, it was just a slim chance of survival. If they died at that time and made such a vow, wouldn't it bring trouble to Li Mu?
"Brother Guo, I probably know what you are worried about."
Li Mu said with a smile.
On Earth, he had read all kinds of martial arts novels. Actually, there were many bad plots about living in seclusion, such as the Six-fingered Magic Zither in the TV series, and Zhang CuiShan and his wife in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre. As soon as they were found or re-entered Jianghu, they would be hunted down and ended miserably.
Guo Yuqing was obviously worried that once he made such a vow, he and his wife would be hunted down and killed, which would bring trouble to himself.
"Brother Guo, you are a good brother. You are loyal." Li Mu copied the mantra of Wei Xiaobao, the Duke of Luding, without blushing, and said, "Since we are sworn brothers, we should share blessings and misfortunes together. If I only want to receive your kindness, but dare not bear the responsibility as a brother, then I don't want to be sworn brothers. Brother Guo, you are a man who came from the prairie, why are you so hesitant to let go of these things?"
Upon hearing that, Guo Yuqing thought even more highly of Li Mu. He laughed and said, "Well, I, Guo Yuqing, have been dominating the world for decades. But today, I am not as carefree as Brother Mu. You are right. I was wrong …"
Immediately, he read the vow according to Li Mu's words aloud with a solemn look.
"Clap, clap!"
He drained the blood wine and tossed the cup to the ground.
"Brother." Li Mu saluted solemnly.
Guo Yuqing laughed and hugged Li Mu. Then, he said with mixed feelings, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that I, Guo Yuqing, who has lost all my old friends and fallen to the other side of the world, could still meet a genius like you in Taibai Mountain. Today, I am so excited. Let's drink to our hearts' content. We won't go home until we are drunk."
"Good." Li Mu also laughed.
In the previous novels and TV dramas, when Qiao Feng met the little monk Xuzhu for the first time during the Battle of Shaoshi Mountain, he burst into laughter and became sworn brothers with Xuzhu. No one could defeat the man who always laughed and drank whenever he wanted. Qiao Feng felt that he was the real hero of the age. Today, Li Mu also experienced that feeling.
In Guo Yuqing, Li Mu saw the demeanor of Qiao Feng, the hero in the novels.
The two drank wine, discussed martial arts, and exchanged their experiences.
That was the outbreak of the friendship between the two men.
It had been more than four days since Li Mu left the county. He should have gone back earlier because he was a little worried about the county government. But on second thought, he knew everything was basically under control. After the battle, those Jianghu people couldn't make any trouble in a short time. So, he was not in a hurry to go back.
"Brother, your injury has fully recovered. It's not good to stay here for long. After tonight, you should go back to the county early tomorrow morning. I still have something to deal with." Guo Yuqing said with a smile.
"Okay." Li Mu thought for a while and decided he should go back tomorrow.
…
…
Time flew by.
The sun was blazing.
On the high pole, Qing Feng's arms were twisted behind his back. He was hanging on the top of the pole by a thick and hard rope in an extremely painful position. Exposed to the wind and the sun, coupled with the injuries in his mouth, he was already on the verge of death.
The scorching sun was like a flame, roasting his body.
Qing Feng felt dizzy.
This kind of horrifying physical torture was undoubtedly a nightmare for a child who was only a little more than ten years old.
Qing Feng felt that his life was slipping away bit by bit like the grains of sand in an hourglass.
However, there was no fear in his heart.
He was not frightened.
He was still blaming and ashamed for what happened to Ma Junwu and the others.
He also firmly believed that the Young Master would come back.
Not only was he worried about his own fate, but he was also worried about what kind of inhumane interrogation Ma Junwu, Feng Yuanxing, and the others who were locked up in the prison.
"Hold on, I must hold on, wait for the Young Master to come, I must … save Uncle Ma and the others."
"I, want to live, want to make up …"
Qing Feng said to himself over and over again in his heart.
His spiritual force was undergoing the cruelest test and training.
He was silently enduring and waiting.
No matter how long he had to wait, he must hold on.
He must live.
Only by living could he take revenge and save others.
…
…
In the county jail.
Ma Junwu, who had lost one arm, had almost no intact skin on his body. There were whip marks, knife marks, and branding marks all over his body. Ma Junwu, who had lost a lot of blood due to the loss of one arm, had completely passed out. Even though Li Bing had ordered people to pour three or four buckets of ice water on him, he still couldn't wake him up.
"Damn it, he's dead so soon."
Li Bing said with a hideous smile on his face.
Then, his eyes fell on Feng Yuanxing and Zhen Meng, who were hung on the rack by iron chains.
The two of them didn't look much better than Ma Junwu. Their bodies were on the verge of collapsing due to the continuous torture and interrogation. However, their willpower somehow allowed them to retain a trace of consciousness.
