Li Mu quickly lowered his head to avoid the slap. He was quick now and it was difficult for ordinary people to get close to him. The fat Taoist couldn’t hit him at all.

The fat Taoist missed. He was obviously a little angry and cursed, “Assh*le! How dare you!”

The fat Taoist said this while swinging his fist and smashing it at Li Mu.

Bai Jing hurriedly blocked in the middle and suffered it for Li Mu.

Li Mu suddenly had evil thoughts and said, “Son of the b*tch. I will kill you.”

Without any hesitation, Little Brother Li lifted his leg and kicked the fat Taoist’s chest.

The fat Taoist didn’t react and was severely kicked.

In fact, even if he was absorbed, he couldn’t avoid it.

The fat Taoist did not scream and his chest immediately collapsed out of a big pit. He flew out like a broken kite, fell heavily to the ground, with his nose and mouth bleeding. He twitched a few times, and then did not move.

Bai Jing screamed, tried to calm down, and hurried over, stretching out his hand to feel his breath. He shouted, “It’s miserable.” And then he collapsed to the ground.

Li Mu pouted and didn’t feel any psychological pressure.

Although he didn’t know what was going on, he could confirm that it was a dreamland and everything was unreal. It was not illegal to kill people in dreams, as it was not a crime in real society. So he was not afraid.

It seemed that the fat man was dead. He was quite arrogant just now. It turned out that he was an embroidered pillow. He was a bully outside and a coward inside. In fact, he didn’t have much skill.

Li Mu saw Bai Jing sitting on the ground in a daze. He walked over, stretched out his hand, and patted him on the shoulder.

“What’s the matter with you? Are you frightened? Who the hell is this idiot?”

Bai Jing suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran away with Li Mu.

“Brother, you have killed a man. Run quickly! Or we will not be able to run!”

“Hey, Brother Bai. Don’t worry. Don’t run in a hurry!”

“Fellow brother, it is inexcusable to kill the fellow apprentices. We should run or we will be killed.”

“My elder brother, listen to me. It’s true that I killed him. But only you saw it. Listen to me. We just have to bury him and nothing will happen!”

Bai Jing looked at him in confusion and didn’t understand the meaning of his words at all.

“What do you want to do?”

Li Mu looked at him as if Bai Jing was a fool.

“Brother Bai, take a closer look around and tell me what you see.”

Bai Jing looked at him dumbfounded.

Li Mu said angrily, “Don’t always stare at me. Look around!”

“There are mountains all around. What do you want me to see?”

“What I want to show you is the mountains. Don’t panic. Give him to me. I will bury him in the deep mountains and forests. No one will know where he is. Understand?”

Bai Jing looked at him in horror, as if looking at a stranger.

“You... You have changed.”

“Nonsense. You listen to me. Go to the house and wait for me to come back. We can’t run now. If we run, it means we admit the fact of killing people. After I dispose of the body, we will leave calmly.”

“You...”

“Don’t be afraid. You can rest assured that as long as we don’t admit this kind of thing and they have no evidence. What can they do to us?”

Bai Jing was very anxious. With tears flowing out, he choked and said, “What happened to you? You were not like that before. Now you plan to destroy the corpse. I will not agree.”

“Why can’t you figure it out? Is he a wicked man or not?”

“Exactly!”

“Should he die?”

“Yes, he should.”

“Have I done the right thing?”

“No, you killed him. What’s the difference between you and him? You want to destroy the corpse. That is something that only wicked people would do. I forbid you to do this. Come with me quickly!”

“You are stupid, Brother Sissy.” Li Mu couldn’t help scolding.

Bai Jing was crazy to drag him and pull him to run together. Li Mu was helpless and had to run away with this stupid person.

...

Outside the stone gate, Lin Wan’s tears had already dried up. But she still refused to leave.

Mrs. Hong kept comforting her, repeatedly stressing that Li Mu had his own way to get away so that she didn’t have to worry at all.

“Mrs. Hong, don’t say anything more. Leave me alone. I will stay here and wait for him to come out. And I will not go anywhere!”

“I won’t leave either. I will definitely not leave unless I see my senior fellow!” He Xiaoyu said firmly.

Others had also expressed their views that they wouldn’t leave unless Li Mu got out. Even Lin Kun said, “I have to wait for my Brother to come out. I won’t leave unless I see my Brother.”

Mrs. Hong sighed and said anxiously, “You are confused. It’s not the right time for us to be emotional. Li Mu finally won the opportunity for us to get away. You just wasted it in vain. You should think about him.”

Lin Kun said, “Mrs. Hong, that’s enough. If Brother has an accident, we can not feel at ease. Instead of living a guilty life, we’d better stay here and die with him.”

“Don’t talk indiscriminately. We can die with Li Mu. What about Lin Wan’s unborn child? That is the hope of the Lin Family. Does this baby have to die with us?”

Lin Wan stroked her belly and her face showed a determined look.

“Our child is definitely willing to be with us. In the face of death, our family should not be separated. Mrs. Hong, you don’t have to persuade. You can leave if you want!”

“What are you talking about? Am I a person who is afraid of death? Well, let’s all stay here and wait for Li Mu. I really don’t understand you. Li Mu has a great chance to get away. Why do you worry about that?”

“Mrs. Hong, did you say so on purpose? Is Brother Mu really not in danger?” Shen Zixing asked.

“No. I have my reasons for saying so!”

Mrs. Hong realized that everyone was looking at her and she put forward a question.

“My assumption is based on the Realm of Worry. Zixing and her sister are not familiar with it but the rest should be very clear about how powerful it is.”

After pondering for a while, Lin Wan said with surprise, “I see. Mrs. Hong, do you want to say that we are all caught in a trap and he is the only one who can keep calm?”

Mrs. Hong nodded.

“Yes. We seem to be trapped but in fact we are lured into an emotion. It can also be said that we are deeply immersed in a state of anxiety. As we get deeper and deeper it is difficult to extricate ourselves! Li Mu is the only one who can stay awake and calmly crack the mechanic system.”

He Xiaoyu whispered, “I can do it too!”

Mrs. Hong looked at her and said with some regret, “Yes, Xiaoyu can easily do it. Unfortunately, you are injured and can’t help him at all.”

Lin Wan asked, “Mrs. Hong, is this related to our slaying of evil spirits?”

“Yes, it is related to that. No matter what kind of mechanic systems can not make him lose himself after the hidden dangers of Li Mu are eradicated. He has great advantages now and has a great opportunity to escape safely!”

Everyone smiled and felt that the analysis of Mrs. Hong was reasonable.

For example, the horror of the Dream Valley did not lie in what kind of dreamland you were going through, but in whether you could stay awake in it.

If you could stay awake, no matter what kind of dreamland, you were very likely to escape because you knew who you were and you knew that it was false. And the rest was just a matter of finding a way out.

On the contrary, if you couldn’t stay awake and lost yourself in the dreamland, or even completely integrated with the illusory characters, it was hard to say whether you could escape from the danger.

“I think what Mrs. Hong said makes sense.” He Xiaoyu said excitedly, “Brother must be awake now. So that he can think of a way to get away.”

“You’ve changed the title?” Lin Wan sneered.

“I was in a hurry just now. I forgot to call him Brother. You won’t be jealous of me, will you?”

Lin Wan gave her a dirty look and said to other people, “Let’s go. Get out of here.”

“You agreed to leave?” Mrs. Hong said excitedly.

“I mean get out of the square and don’t have any more accidents but I didn’t say get out of here. Don’t get me wrong.”

Mrs. Hong sighed and said disappointedly, “Lin Wan is right. It is dangerous to stay here. Everyone should leave the square quickly and wait for Li Mu to come out.”

These people did not dare to hesitate and quickly got away from the stone gate. When they passed the broken stone statues, Shen Ming’er suddenly exclaimed, “Look! That stone statue has been restored!”

They looked at it subconsciously, and sure enough, a stone statue had been restored and stood intact on the stone seat.

Everyone was stunned and no one knew what it meant.

Lin Wan made a quick decision and told others, “Be quick! Leave the square immediately!”

The group quickly left the square and returned to the safe area.

Lin Wan let Shen Zixing and her sister accompany He Xiaoyu. Lin Wan, Mrs. Hong and Lin Kun stood on the edge of the square and stared at the stone statue.

“What do you think?”

Mrs. Hong frowned and said, “It’s really strange. The stone statue is obviously blown to pieces. How can it recover? There is no scar on the body. It doesn’t make sense!”

“The guard array of the Shen Family is really exquisite. These so-called stone statues may not be made of stone but some special material.”

“That’s how we can explain. Otherwise, we can’t explain it.”

“Miss Lin, Mrs. Hong, have you noticed its expression?” Lin Kun suddenly asked.

Expression? These two people paused and carefully observed the expression of the stone statue.

Lin Wan murmured, “Is this the expression of worry?”

Mrs. Hong echoed, “Yes, it is worry. It is worry in the Seven Emotions!”

Immediately, three people said almost at the same time, “I see!”

They blew up all the stone statues, which meant that they had to pass the test of the seven realms before they could leave here safely. And the first heart realm they experienced was the Realm of Worry.

The restoration of the stone statue showed that they passed this test. And the purpose of its restoration was not for them but for those who broke through the protective formation in the future.

Mrs. Hong smiled, “When all the stone statues are restored, we can leave!”

Lin Wan shook his head and said, “Don’t be blindly optimistic. After the last stone statue is restored, it will block the robber hole. By that time, we have no other way out except to choose to enter the gold mine.”

“Lin Wan, do you want to go to the gold mine?”

“I came to save my husband and I never thought about going there and taking risks for gold. In my opinion, it is the least worthwhile thing to do. This matter is not urgent. After my husband comes out, we will discuss a way together and try to use the robber hole to leave here before the stone statue is restored.”
