The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 222: Holy Water of Immortality

The two Chiya people looked around but didn't find anything special. The short Chiya was very cautious and winked at the tall one. Although the tall one was disdainful, he didn't say anything and cooperated with the performance.

"Let's go look somewhere else. The high priest said that there must not be any mistakes."

"Okay, okay, whatever."

The two of them left together, and before leaving they did not forget to restore the crooked tree to its original shape. They reached out and pressed a round-looking bulge, which was also wrapped in old bark, and there was no sign of abnormality at all.

Li Mulan, who was secretly spying, curled the corners of her lips, but she did not move. Naturally, the other people did not move either, and they carefully observed the situation around them.

Sure enough, the two Chiya people came back soon.

The tall man complained, "I told you it's okay. You're the only one who's worried. You're the only one who's cautious. I think you're being too cautious."

The short man was flexible and smiled even after being scolded. "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I'll buy you a drink. Let's go, let's go drink."

The tall man snorted coldly, "That's about right. I have to come out for patrol more than ten times every day. It's really enough. I haven't had a good night's sleep in more than ten days."

"Who says it's not true? Just be patient. After the sacrifice, we can be the same as before. Who knows, we can even get a cup of holy water and live forever like the high priest."

"Well, I hope so. But for small guards like us, it might be difficult."

“There is always hope.”

As they talked, the two opened the hole and crawled in. Soon, the crooked tree returned to its original shape.

After waiting for another half an hour, Li Mulan finally came out from the darkness.

After them came Qingyu, Huo Yuanruo and Xingwu.

"Little Master, did you hear that? That person just mentioned immortality. Is there really holy water that can make you immortal? Are you kidding me?"

Qingyu and Xingwu both looked at Li Mulan with serious faces.

"How can there be any method of immortality under the laws of heaven and earth and the laws of nature? Even if there is, it is definitely not the right way."

Even after traveling through time, Li Mulan still believed in science. After all, she had received this kind of education for the past 20 to 30 years. Even if there are many phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by science, so what? There are so many mysteries in the universe, and it is impossible for humans to understand them all while living in this world.

But how many emperors have tried to find the way to immortality from ancient times to the present? But has anyone actually achieved immortality?

Li Mulan sent a look to Huo Yuanruo, who immediately received it. He carefully looked at the crooked tree and stretched his head to listen carefully. When he heard nothing, he imitated the two Chiya people and pressed a button on an inconspicuous mechanism.

Soon, the entrance appeared. Led by Huo Yuanruo, the four of them entered quietly.

It was pitch black inside, and I could vaguely see that it was a very long passage.

Several people walked in cautiously, and after walking about two hundred meters, they saw some light.

There were two options before him. Huo Yuanruo was in a dilemma for a moment and asked Li Mulan in a low voice, "Master Junior, what should I do?"

"We will split into two groups. My sister and I will form one group, and you and Xing Wu will form another group. We will act separately. Regardless of whether we find Uncle Zhang or not, we will gather here in two hours."

"it is good."

Accustomed to following orders, Huo Yuanruo and Qingyu had no objections. But Xing Wu disagreed, "No, I want to be in the same group with the princess. The prince said that I cannot leave the princess even a step away and must ensure her safety."

Huo Yuanruo was not happy to hear him calling her "Princess" all the time, "My junior uncle hasn't married your prince yet, don't try to get close to her."

Xingwu didn't say anything, but his attitude was obviously firm.

"With your skills, you are still protecting Junior Master. Let me tell you, although Junior Master has no internal strength, if someone wants to kill her, it would be harder than ascending to heaven. She will be fine even if something happens to you or me, so don't worry about it."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Huo Yuanruo got angry and rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to hit him, "Hey, you are stubborn, aren't you? Do I wrong you by asking you to follow me?"

"The prince has instructed us to protect the princess at all times."

"Your princess has arranged for you to work with me to gather information."

"The prince has instructed us to protect the princess at all times." Xing Wu only repeated this sentence and didn't say anything else.

"Okay," Li Mulan was also helpless, but she still made adjustments. They couldn't waste time here. "Then I'll be in a group with Xing Wu, sister, you'll be in a group with Yuan Yuan."

Qingyu glanced at Xingwu with dissatisfaction, but still followed Li Mulan's arrangement and exchanged with Xingwu.

Huo Yuanruo snorted coldly, "You can only say that the prince has instructed you to do so. Your prince is a god. You are just a piece of wood. Do you think I want to be in the same team with you? Humph."

Watching Huo Yuanruo and Qingyu leave, Xing Wu pursed his lips and looked at Li Mulan. Li Mulan didn't really care who she was in a group with, so she didn't have any thoughts and whispered, "Let's go too."

"Yes."

This underground space is very large. Li Mulan led Xingwu through it for a long time. Occasionally, there were Chiya people patrolling inside, but not many. There are also many rooms inside, some of which are occupied, and some are obviously empty for some years, but the strange thing is that there is no room occupied.

As they walked, they heard footsteps ahead. Li Mulan stopped and signaled Xingwu not to move, and mouthed, "Someone is coming."

Li Mulan looked around and saw no place to hide, so she decided to retreat. There were quite a few rooms behind. The two hid in a house that had obviously not been lived in for many years, hiding at the door and listening to the noise outside.

"Evening classes are almost over, and we'll have dinner soon. I'm a little hungry after patrolling so many times."

"Me too. I have to patrol every hour, eh."

"Just bear with it for a while. Everything will return to normal after the sacrifice is over."

"What do you think those captured people eat?"

"What else do they need to eat? They're all going to die anyway."

"I saw someone delivering food to them before."

"Can you still eat after being drugged?"

"The high priest said that those people should be kept alive by feeding them soup or water to maintain their lives."

"That's also a waste of food. If they die, they die. Just throw them away."

"We need ninety-nine people, no less."

"If it's not enough, go down the mountain and grab it."

"No, the high priest said that this incident has alarmed the court. We have to be careful and not be exposed."

"Hey, okay, okay..."

The voices became quieter and quieter, and Li Mulan followed Xing Wu out of the room and continued to go inside. "We have to hurry up. When their evening classes are over, there will be more people."

"Yes."
