After thinking about it, Qin Yunchuan was still wary of this old man Ren who suddenly appeared and tried to win over him. He pushed the human skin mask back: "I'd like to thank you for your kindness, but we really don't want to go to Ice City. These things Please take it back..."
While Qin Yunchuan was busy refusing, no one noticed that Mu Jingyu, who was holding the ring in his hand, looked a little abnormal. His eyes seemed lively, but also deep, as if he had suddenly fallen into memories.
At this moment, in front of Mu Jingyu's eyes, the boy's time flashed quickly, pulling him into it. A warm feeling like waves surged from the ring in his hand to his heart, making Mu Jingyu feel at ease.
For more than ten years, this feeling of being with family members has not occurred for a long time.
It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a day had passed. Mu Jingyu just came back from this feeling, and the words Qin Yunchuan just said rang in his ears again.
"We won't need it for the time being, so don't worry about it, old man."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ren did not look at Qin Yunchuan, but kept staring at Mu Jingyu. After seeing him wander around the world in just a short moment, he finally nodded and smiled even more.
After Qin Yunchuan finished speaking, his right hand kept pressing on the human skin mask, waiting for Mr. Ren to get his things back. But she saw that he ignored her and said immediately: "Mr. Ren? Mr. Ren? This thing..."
At this moment, Mu Jingyu, who had come back to his senses, suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Qin, since Mr. Ren is determined to give these things to us, wouldn't it be disrespectful to refuse them blindly?"
"Ah! Jingyu, you..." At this moment, not only Qin Yunchuan was slightly surprised, but Zhou Yan and the others were also confused. They couldn't imagine how Mu Jingyu would agree to accept the human skin mask presented by Mr. Ren in just a moment. .
Mu Jingyu smiled slightly and did not explain much. Instead, he nodded towards Qin Yunchuan, indicating that he could accept the things with confidence, and then put the ring on his finger. At the same time, he said: "I will keep Mr. Ren's words in mind. .When I return to Cangmang Mountain, I will definitely ask my parents if they saved you from growing old more than twenty years ago."
"Hahaha, thank you very much, old man." Mr. Ren's hearty laughter just ended when the waiter brought the food and wine.
"Look, Mr. Ren, are you satisfied with the food and wine prepared by me?"
Seeing the waiter placing the food and wine on the tray on the table one by one, Mr. Ren said: "Satisfied, extremely satisfied. Feng Er, pay the store for the wine. Remember, you can only have more, not less!"
After Feng Er responded, he took out a five-tael silver coin and patted it into the waiter's hand.
Seeing the waiter's expression of joy and a bit of panic, Mr. Ren said: "I'm happy today, so you can take the money. Later, if a few of the kids are not full, feel free to order more. It's extra. The silver will be considered as a reward for you."
"Really...really!" Although five taels of silver is not much, one tael is enough to pay for this meal. Even if a few of them can eat, can they still use four taels of silver? If the extra money is given to myself as a reward, it will be enough to cover the first half of the year's wages. How can the waiter not be surprised?
Mr. Ren smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Can I, Ren Zhijie, take back what I said?"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ren. I'm going to prepare some fruit snacks for everyone to enjoy." After the waiter finished speaking, he ran back in a hurry.
Mr. Ren turned around and saw Qin Yunchuan and others sitting still. Mu Jingyu was the only one who was in a happy mood and ate his food regardless.
"Come here, come here, why are you standing there? We are reunited today by fate, and I have even found the heir of my benefactor. Regardless of whether it is true or not, I can still afford to treat you juniors to a meal and talk a little bit about my feelings. "
As Mr. Ren spoke, he enthusiastically urged Qin Yunchuan and others to use their chopsticks, but they were still wary. After looking at each other, they still sat still. Su Yingying, who was next to Mu Jingyu, even kicked him with her feet, warning Mu Jingyu not to be careless, so as not to fall into Ren Lao's trap again.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jingyu wiped the corners of his mouth, pointed to the delicacies on the table and said: "Well, this restaurant is not big, but the food tastes good. You all have a try, don't use your chopsticks. , I’ve finished eating them all.”
Mr. Ren then laughed and said: "I understand, you guys are afraid that I have some purpose, or poison the food and wine. You can rest assured that I have no enmity with you, and I have no intention of harming you." "
Now that Mu Jingyu has eaten everything, and Mr. Ren has eaten all the dishes himself, it will be really hard for them to save face if they don't use chopsticks.
The meal was extremely boring, with only Mu Jingyu chatting with Mr. Ren. Qin Yunchuan and the other five people only tasted it briefly and did not dare to feast like Mu Jingyu.
After five dishes and three rounds of wine, the wind and snow outside dissipated unconsciously. It comes and goes as quickly as a midsummer rainstorm.
Finally, Mr. Ren raised his glass and said, "My dear friends, the wind and snow outside have subsided. I am still busy rushing back to the manor, so I will go ahead."
Mu Jingyu raised his glass and asked, "Mr. Ren, can we meet again in the future?"
"Of course I can." Mr. Ren said with a smile: "Although Kyushu is a big place, we can meet again if we are destined. But what's more, I am still thinking about my benefactor and his family. If you have any clues, don't forget to look for me."
"Definitely, definitely!" Mu Jingyu nodded heavily. Then they toasted with Qin Yunchuan and the other five, drank wine with Mr. Ren, and watched him slowly leave the wine shop with Feng Er's support.
Now that the wind and snow have stopped, the pedestrians in the wine shop have almost finished drinking. They leave in groups and continue their respective journeys. Within a moment, Mu Jingyu and his group were the only ones left at the table.
After everyone had almost left, the waiter was busy cleaning up the mess in the house. Naturally, Mu Jingyu didn't want to stay any longer and walked out of the restaurant one after another. After getting on their horses, they followed Mu Jingyu and walked towards the direction of Ice City.
Several people originally thought of discussing how to enter the Ice City in the wine shop. Who would have thought that Mr. Ren would pop up halfway. Although he gave a few human skin masks as gifts, which seemed to solve the current problem. But he was from the Han family, and he got involved with Mu Jingyu for no reason. Who knows whether the old things he told about more than 20 years ago are true or false, and what is his hidden purpose?
After everyone walked a short distance away in silence, a few people looked at Mu Jingyu who was walking at the front. They were obviously in a good mood and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. It was Qin Yunchuan who couldn't bear it anymore and rode his horse to catch up with Mu Jingyu.
"Jingyu, do you really think that Mr. Ren is old with your father? If he made up a lie and deceived us..."
Mu Jingyu lowered his head and stroked the ring on his finger, and suddenly interrupted Qin Yunchuan: "Brother Qin, I know your worries. But... when I got this ring, I knew that Mr. Ren had no ill intentions towards us. "
"How can you be sure with just a ring!" Qin Yunchuan said anxiously: "No, take off the ring and let me see! What if Mr. Ren cast some kind of spell on it, and your character will be lost? broken!"
"Brother Qin, don't you still believe me?" Although Mu Jingyu said this, he still took off the ring and handed it to Qin Yunchuan's hand. At the same time, he said: "I know that my behavior just now was a bit hasty. But... ...The moment I got the ring, I felt that Mr. Ren was really helping us."
Qin Yunchuan felt incredible. He reached out and touched Mu Jingyu's forehead, then shook his head and said, "Huh? You're not sick either. Why are you talking nonsense?"
Mu Jingyu slapped Qin Yunchuan's palm down and said with a joking smile: "Go away, you are talking nonsense." Then he stretched out his arm, stopped his shoulder and said: "Brother Qin, just believe me this time. .”
"Okay, let's trust you just once." At some point, Zhou Yan and the others rode forward, walking side by side with Mu Jingyu.
After putting the ring back on his hand, Mu Jingyu's expression fell into deep thought again, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Mu Jingyu rode forward alone again, leaving five people behind. Qin Yunchuan said angrily: "Hey, hey, don't you see the look on Jingyu's face? You're still fooling around with him! And that old man Ren is definitely not a good person! The reason why Jingyu is like this is because of the ring he gave him. What a disaster! No, I have to take the ring over and see if there is any hidden secret!"
Zhou Yan said: "Yunchuan, don't be suspicious. I think that ring must have been left by Jingyu's elders, and it must contain the unique aura of his Mu family. Jingyu must have felt this aura. , will you believe that Mr. Ren..."
Shen Mengdie also added: "I don't think that Mr. Ren is a bad person. Brother Qin, please stop being suspicious."
Everyone tried to persuade Qin Yunchuan, but he wanted to refute, but he couldn't. In the end, he got tired of being talked about, so he whipped up his riding whip angrily, passed Mu Jingyu, and ran to the front.
A sudden cold wind awoke Mu Jingyu from his deep thoughts. He looked at Qin Yunchuan who was riding forward alone in astonishment, not knowing what had happened. Looking back at Zhou Yan and the others who were hiding their mouths and snickering, they wanted to ask Qin Yunchuan what was wrong, but they waved their hands and refused.
After walking more than ten miles like this, from the end of the official road, the appearance of a city was vaguely revealed. I saw that the city wall, which was seventy or eighty feet high, was shining slowly under the sunlight. It was actually made of a piece of fast ice.
Although he was still far away, he felt a cold breath penetrate through his skin and penetrate deep into his meridians and Dantian. Qin Yunchuan and Zhou Yan were a little better. After shivering, they tightened their clothes and dissipated the cold atmosphere.
Mu Jingyu, on the other hand, was different. His originally rosy face gradually turned pale. His hands kept clenching his clothes, and at the same time, he secretly transported his energy to resist the cold atmosphere. Who would have thought that the more this happened, the stronger the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow. Mu Jingyu couldn't help but use the spiritual energy in Jiuyaoxuan's light chain, trying to completely suppress the cold aura that was constantly coming.
A burst of white smoke emerged from Mu Jingyu's head, immediately attracting the attention of pedestrians not far away. Qin Yunchuan secretly screamed, turned around and rode to Mu Jingyu's side, stretched out his hand to hold his left hand, blocking the spiritual energy of Jiu Yaoxuan's light chain, and at the same time whispered: "Jingyu, the wall of this Ice City The ice-cold aura it emits becomes stronger when it is strong, and becomes weak when it is weak. The more you try to resist with your profound cultivation, the easier it will be to trigger a stronger backlash!"
Mu Jingyu was such a smart person, he immediately understood the meaning of Qin Yunchuan's words. After dispersing the spiritual energy all over his body, the cold feeling became weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared.
But the sight of white smoke coming out of his head just now still attracted the attention of passers-by around him. They have lived in the Netherworld Ghost State for a long time, so they naturally know the characteristics of the Ice City Wall. Now you will see a young man who is only twenty years old, with clouds of smoke coming out of his head. His cultivation level is at least at the Guiyuan realm. How can you not look at him sideways and wonder about his identity!
This place is not far from the Ice City. Qin Yunchuan was afraid that it would attract the attention of the Han family. After grabbing Mu Jingyu, he winked at Zhou Yan and the others, and temporarily retreated to a place where no one was paying attention, waiting for the crowd. They dispersed and were thinking of ways to enter the Ice City.
