Chapter 285: The Bronze Paintings Are All Deceptive

"Oh, I said I ran so fast, it turned out that I was here to complain—"

Li Mu's voice came from the door, and then the person came in, drooping his eyelids and looked at the servant, saying, "You don't have the eyesight to see that the profession of the gatekeeper is not suitable for you. You should go home and be a young master and find a few more people to serve you! The gatekeeper is to reduce trouble for the master. You are here to complain, what do you want to do? Let your miracle doctor vent your anger for you? You don't even ask who I am. I ride in the palace and go into your broken house. Do you still want to stop me?"

Arrogant! Domineering! Lawless!

But no one dared to say anything. The servant was so angry that he ran in to complain. Now after Li Mu reminded him, he also realized. Yes, this person is Zhulu Hou, and he is just a small gatekeeper. What courage does he have to mess with him?

The servant sobbed, hurriedly held back, bowed and said, "Marty, I know I am wrong..." Before he finished speaking, tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Sun Simiao couldn't see it and was about to speak, but Li Mu waved his hand to stop him.

"Look at your unpromising look!" Li Mu sighed, came to the servant, and said, "I almost looked up to you. Unfortunately, you didn't seize the opportunity."

The servant looked at him blankly.

Li Mu said: "Why do you apologize to me? Did you do something wrong? You are the doorman and the master asked you to stop someone, you just stop him. There is no mistake. Why can't you insist on your own opinion? I said you were wrong, are you wrong? Your only mistake is to run in and complain, because this is not what you should do, but there is nothing wrong with stopping me, why don't you dare to say it?"

The servant wanted to speak but stopped.

Li Mu said for him, "Because I am the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and you are just a servant? Haha! It's extremely ridiculous. A man is a real man, right is right, wrong is wrong, what are you afraid of?"

The servant didn't know how to answer, so Sun Simiao took out a small bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it into the servant's hand, saying, "Take it and apply it once in the morning and evening, and the red mark on his face will fade away. Go."

The servant held the bottle tightly, turned around and ran away. This was a magical medicine given by the miracle doctor, and he was reluctant to use it. The red mark on his face would sooner or later, and it would not be tight. He wanted to sell this bottle of medicine for money.

Li Mu didn't wait for Sun Simiao to give in and found a chair to sit on. Dugu Jiu stood behind him, wearing a mask and couldn't see his face, and he looked taciturn.

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed and said, "Mysterious Doctor, why do you think this person is so easy to surrender to fate! Oh! I don't know what to say."

Sun Simiao signaled Liu Shenwei to change a pot of tea, sat opposite Li Mu, and said, "Why is the marquis quarreling with a servant, aren't you afraid of losing your identity?"

Li Mu sneered and said, "What is my identity? He treats me as a military marquis, and I only treat myself as myself. I beat him because he stopped me. He is not convinced, and he can fight me. I am willing to accompany him. But I don't like this, so I run to complain, and I'm afraid of complaining... What's this! I don't have this temper. I fight with others, and I'm happy if I win, and I'm proud. If I lose, I admit defeat, and I'll remember it in my heart. Sooner or later, I won't think about who will complain, because..."

Li Mu paused for a moment, some old memories passed through his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's useless to complain."

When Sun Simiao noticed Li Mu's expression, he felt puzzled. He didn't know where Li Mu's emotions came from, but he was sure what he remembered.

"Oh," Li Mu suddenly stood up and bowed to Sun Simiao, saying, "I'm here today. I'm here to thank you. Thank you for saving my life. Then I heard from my wife that the miracle doctor was very interested in this pill, so I brought the pill recipe here and gave it to the miracle doctor."

"really?"

Sun Simiao stood up in a hurry and appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes, reaching out to grab his shoulder. Seeing this, Dugu Jiu subconsciously reached out to stop him. In the flash, Li Mu only felt a few shadows swaying in front of him, and then Dugu Jiu's gasp in his air was heard in his ear. When he looked back, Sun Simiao had already grabbed his shoulder, and Li Mu turned around and saw Dugu Jiu's hand drooping weakly as if it was folded.

"What, what's the situation!"

"Boy is rude. I clicked his wrist. It's okay. I'll pick him up later-whether the pill recipe? Where is the pill recipe?"

Li Mu's eyes fell to the ground in surprise and said in a daze: "My doctor, are you actually a master?"

Sun Simiao said impatiently: "What master? I have lived a long time. Besides, if you don't have some self-defense skills, you can learn a little bit, it's very superficial-" Suddenly, Sun Simiao's eyes narrowed and he touched down along Li Mu's arm. Li Mu hurriedly hid, what does this mean? Why did he touch his butt?

"Your meridian..." Sun Simiao said in horror: "Your meridian! It turns out! It's overnight-"

"Ah! You're talking about this!" Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It was so dangerous, and his butt was saved!

Li Mu pushed Sun Simiao's hand away and said, "Isn't it just that elixir!"

"Pill?"

"That's a long way to say it." Li Mu cleared his throat and started a stand-up crosstalk: "The day before yesterday, I met a down-and-out man. The man looked haggard and seemed to have suffered a big blow. He pounced in front of my carriage, guess what I did?"

Sun Simiao thought for a moment and said, "Did you crush him?"

"Old man, it's boring to say this!" Li Mu was displeased and said, "Do you still want Danfang?"

"If you want, you keep talking."

"Everyone knows that I am the most kind-hearted. When I saw it, hey, there was someone here, and my compassion suddenly became so heartbroken. I thought, I could save people. Then I saved him, bought him a few cakes, and gave him two more ingots to encourage him to cheer up. Life should not only look at the present, but to work hard and strive for progress - he was moved and grateful! He cried and said to me that there are lies in fairy tales..."

"Wait a minute." Sun Simiao frowned and said, "Why do I think you are making up lies? Also, what is a fairy tale?"

"Ah..." Li Mu stopped stiffly, and was too happy to speak, and couldn't help but sing the lyrics. But it didn't matter, I could slogans hard. Li Mu coughed and said, "Copper is copper of copper and iron, and paintings are paintings of pictures. He told me that a bronze painting was passed down from his ancestors!"

"Bronze painting?" Sun Simiao felt even more strange. At this time, Liu Shenwei came in with tea, and a total of three cups of tea was handed to Li Mu, and Sun Simiao, and there was still one left to Dugu Jiu. Seeing the mask on his face, Li Mu reached out to take it and said, "Give it all to me, he won't drink it."

Dugu Jiu nodded coolly and put his cramped right hand behind him.

Sun Simiao waved his hand and asked Liu Shenwei to continue, saying, "I have lived for so long and I have seen the world. I have never seen a bronze painting. What is drawn on this bronze painting? Why do he say it is all a lie?"

"Oh!" Li Mu took a sip of tea, sighed, and said, "It's a sad story to tell!"

"This man claims to be a descendant of Taoism."

"Taoist priest?"

"No, no!" Li Mu waved his hand repeatedly and said, "It's not a Taoist priest, it's a Taoist. You have heard of it from all schools of thought, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, he said he is a descendant of Taoism."

"Ah!" Sun Simiao suddenly realized, "There are many Taoist priests in the world now, but there are not many who claim to be descendants of Taoism. I met a senior forty years ago and taught me a pharmacopoeia, but now this senior has passed away for twenty-eight years."

Li Mu didn't expect that he could still get right by making a fool of himself, so he hurriedly said, "It's this Taoist, he is not a Taoist priest, but a descendant of Taoism."

"Yeah!" Sun Simiao nodded repeatedly. He originally thought Li Mu was making up lies, but when he heard Li Mu talk about Taoist descendants, he began to believe it and said, "You keep talking."

"This bronze painting of his own is passed down from his ancestors, and I don't know how many generations it has passed down. His father told him that the place guided by this bronze painting is the blessing of the cave heaven and the blessed land of his ancestors. He said that as long as he finds this blessing of the cave heaven, he can inherit the things left by his ancestors. If he gets the things in the blessing of the cave heaven, he may be able to become an immortal."

"Become an immortal?" Sun Simiao heard these two words, his eyes were green, his breathing was rapid, and his body leaned over and asked, "Why did he really say that?"

"That's what he said, what am I lie to you?"

"Where is the bronze painting now? Can I give me a look?"

Li Mu sighed: "I want to see it too, it's gone!"

"Not?"

"In order to find the place guided by this bronze painting, the family of this down-and-out man traveled for generations and had no place to live. By his generation, he was no longer in full swing. Unfortunately, when he arrived in Luoyang a few months ago, he sold the bronze painting."

"Sold it!" Sun Simiao gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This boy is a big mistake! How can he sell such a treasure? He is not afraid that others will see it, so he will also look for it?"

"Of course he thought of it, so he sold it after he ruined it!"

Sun Simiao was suddenly desperate when he heard this. He originally thought that he had some connections in Luoyang. If it were something a few months ago, he might have found it. Now that he heard that it was sold after it was ruined, wouldn’t it be a piece of copper lump? How can this be restored?

Is the road to seeking immortality coming to an end?

Alas, how sad!

Li Mu looked at Sun Simiao's face with a boring look on his face, and suddenly realized it. He thought Sun Simiao was a master who was beyond the world, but he didn't expect that he was also a selfish person. This guy actually wanted to become an immortal... Hehe, it was really interesting.

But this is not surprising. During the Tang Dynasty, people were still very enthusiastic about becoming immortals.

When "The Legend of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", he discovered something very interesting. According to legend, Du Fu was a super fan of Li Bai. At that time, he was not depressed and unsuccessful. He was just a young man who went to Li Bai with his name. Li Bai was already in the greasy middle-aged man who was "giving gold to return". If he couldn't become an official, he would become a Taoist priest. If he was a Taoist priest, he naturally wanted to become an immortal. So Li Bai fooled him to visit famous mountains, search for immortals, find immortal grass, and refine immortal pills. On the way, he met a homeless man Gao Shi, so the three of them joined together, from spring to autumn, and found nothing. Later, Du Fu and Gao Shi woke up and stopped doing it.

The people in the planning team found this interesting, so they made a side mission. During the internal testing, Li Mu's account also did this side mission, so they still remember it fresh.

It is the early Tang Dynasty, and there are still more than a hundred years before Li Bai's age. More than a hundred years later, it is very popular to seek immortals and refine alchemy. This shows that Sun Simiao's yearning for becoming an immortal is not a very strange thing.

Well, I'll have a clear idea in my heart.

Originally, Li Mu made up lies and thoughts on it, but now that he has purpose, this lies will be much easier to make up.

Li Mu cleared his throat and comforted him: "There is no need to be sad for the miracle doctor, didn't that man say anything? The bronze paintings are all lie, which means that his family has experienced many generations of hard work and has not found anything. Besides, if it is really a blessing in the world, how could he tell outsiders? Even if he kills him, he will never leak it. He is something he has no chance to get, so why are he still sad?"

"That's right..." Sun Simiao nodded. He could live for hundreds of years, so he was naturally an open-minded person. Moreover, what Li Mu said makes sense. If it was really a path to becoming an immortal, who would share it?

"Then what's going on with this pill?"

"I bought this pill for money!"

"Buy it?" Sun Simiao said suspiciously: "Will he sell it?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "He is going to starve to death, of course he has to sell it. Otherwise, if he dies, how can he ask for immortals and ask?"

Sun Simiao believed it and nodded, "That's right."

"Also, he looks like he is in his thirties. He is alone and has no wife and son. He has to think about it. If he can't find it in his life, he has to have a son and pass on his ambitions, right? Don't you have to ask for money to marry a wife, have a son, and raise your son? How can he not sell it?"

Sun Simiao nodded again, but still said in confusion: "He sold you this elixir, what should he do?"

"Who said there is only one pill?" Li Mu asked back, which made Sun Simiao stunned, and said, "Is there a lot of such precious medicine?"

"Not many." Li Mu denied Sun Simiao again and completely confused him: "There are two pills in total, which turned out to be three pills, and they were also passed down by our ancestors. When this man was eight years old, he had one pill left with him. Sell me one pill, and he had one pill left for his future son. But I never stingy about it. I thought that if this medicine was really good, I would have to give my wife and mother a pill, but he didn't have that much, so I used the money to smash his pill recipe!"

Sun Simiao was shocked when he heard this and said, "Did you spend a lot of money?"

"With medicine and prescription--" Li Mu stretched out a finger.

Sun Simiao also stretched out a finger and said blankly: "How much does this cost?"

"It's just one hundred taels of gold."

"So cheap?" Sun Simiao couldn't believe that he now had 1,000 taels of gold, which was given to him by Li Mu. If he encountered such a good thing, he would give all 1,000 taels of gold to that man, wouldn't the elixir belong to him?
