"Whoaaah!!"
"Ouch!!"
"Fuck!!"
Tashan's face was only bare and pale! The four of them were startled, and after several cooings, they said "Hey" one after another.
But I saw that Tashan's face was smooth and beardless, and his complexion was delicate and fair. Only his pupils were as black as paint, and his eyebrows were as sharp as swords. His facial features were clear-cut, and there was a bit of heroism in his handsomeness.
Only because the beards used for camouflage were too dense, their original appearance was revealed in an instant, making them look white at first glance.
The four people were shocked and looked at him carefully. They felt that his face had completely changed, and they could only recognize a pair of clear and deep eyes from beginning to end. I was surprised and confused at the same time. I don't know why the rugged man suddenly turned into an extremely handsome white-faced young man.
"Brother Tashan...you are so beautiful."
Yu Yan praised it in a daze, but subconsciously used the word "beautiful".
Upon hearing this, Xue Ying quickly looked away and turned to look at Mu Haotian, and couldn't help but think:
"Brother Tashan's appearance is actually a bit more handsome than my senior brother."
Jing Ling had no scruples, and without blinking, she glanced back and forth between Tashan's face and left hand. What she saw was very strange, and she asked him:
"Brother Beard, how did you do this?"
The white skin on Tashan's cheeks was slightly red, showing a hint of shyness. He raised his left hand and waved it in front of the four people:
"Just rely on this gadget."
What he grabbed in his hand was a small black beard, about ten or so.
After he let the four of them see his appearance clearly, he put his black beard under his chin, and then opened his hand to wipe his face.
The black beard grew wildly on his face in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the elegant and handsome boy had transformed into a beard-faced "Tashan", attracting another round of cooing from the three girls.
At this time, Mu Haotian suddenly said:
"Brother, actually your name isn't Tashan, is it?"
Tashan nodded solemnly and said:
"I conceal my identity because I have no choice but to forgive you."
"Tashan is big,"
Yuyan paused mid-sentence and asked instead:
"Then what's your name?"
Tashan smiled and said:
"I got to know you in the name of 'Tashan', so you should just call me Tashan!"
"But……"
Mu Haotian stopped Yu Yan, who was full of doubts and eager to ask questions, and said:
"Brother Tashan's identity is extraordinary. He must have his reasons for doing this. He showed his true face to us, which shows his sincerity."
When you get here, give Tashan a fist:
"Junior sister and I are extremely honored to be able to make friends with Brother Tashan."
Tashan clasped his fists in return, but suddenly smiled. Mu Haotian turned around and saw that it was Jing Ling who also made a clasping fist gesture, with a serious expression, like an adult. Seeing this, the two sisters laughed and imitated her funny posture.
The four of them joined hands with Tashan and no longer interfered with the others. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Brother Tashan, how old are you this year?"
"I'm twenty-seven, what about you?"
"I am……"
"Senior Brother Mu is eighteen this year, and my sister and I are both sixteen! As for Jing Ling..."
"I seem to be fourteen years old."
"Little Junior Sister, how many times do I have to tell you, change your accent, don't talk about me, talk about me."
"Yes, senior sister, I seem to be fourteen years old."
"Yeah, but why do you say it seems like?"
"Because I can't remember clearly either."
"..."
After chatting and joking for a while, everyone's feet swayed, and the ship jolted slightly.
Then I heard the boss of the boat shouting urgently:
"Grandpas, grandma, aunts and uncles, sit still! The two rivers merge, and there will be a rapid waterway. It will take about a moment to walk. Just wait until we arrive at Lvzhudian."
The tributaries merged, the river became steeper, and the water was turbulent. The boat owner forgot to warn him in advance. In a panic, he even called out the title that Mu Haotian had teased Zhang Xiaopeng with earlier.
Everyone expected that he would be bullied by Zhang Xiaopeng, and they must have used it to slander him a lot during this period, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
Shuangshu and Jingling couldn't help laughing, and kept laughing. Mu Haotian and Tashan also twitched the corners of their lips, laughing uncontrollably, and both cast their eyes towards the stern of the boat.
The boat boss said the words, but he couldn't stop the water. He was frightened for a moment, grimaced, raised his hand and kept slapping his mouth.
However, the three people from the Xuanjiao Sect at the back were uncharacteristically not having any attacks.
Tashan straightened his expression, straightened his right arm, pointed towards the six purple jade dishes, and said:
"You three girls, please sit down and have some snacks first, while Brother Mu and I can have a few words alone."
Shuangshu and Jingling left in response and went to eat happily.
Tashan stepped forward and stood side by side with Mu Haotian.
The two of them faced the rapids in front of them, letting the wind blow their hair and beards into dancing directions.
Although Tashan said he had something to say, he waited for a long time without speaking.
Instead, Mu Haotian remembered something and asked him:
"Brother, have you heard of the 'Four-Nine Mysterious Skills'?"
Tashan seemed to be concentrating on something. Hearing this, he was startled for a moment, and then said in surprise:
"The Four Nine Mysterious Techniques? That is the foundation of the 'Tianyan Sect'. Why does Brother Mu ask this?"
Listening to his tone, Mu Haotian knew that the "Tianyan Sect" was quite famous in the cultivation world. He couldn't help but feel shocked. He thought that he had practiced this skill inexplicably. He was afraid that it would be taboo. Senior Ma Sifang was acting crazy. He was the one who snatched it from others.
After careful consideration, he did not tell the whole story, but asked tentatively:
"From what Brother Tashan said, that day Yanzong... seems to be quite famous?"
Tashan did not answer, but turned to look at him for a long time. The strange look in his eyes reminded Mu Haotian of the first time he entered the city, and the feeling of being looked at intentionally or unintentionally by the people in the city. There may not be any malice in it, but in short... it would make people feel ashamed.
After a while, Tashan smiled and said:
"Haha, Brother Mu really knows how to joke. Not only does Tianyan Sect have a great reputation, it is the mainstay in resisting that thousand-year catastrophe. It is the first-class cultivation sect in today's world. It is the leader of Jiuzhou, Sihai, Bahuang, Looking at the entire cultivation world, who is the leader of the righteous path of the ten realms who doesn’t know this?”
Tashan's voice was calm as usual, but Mu Haotian felt his heart beat with fear. He never expected that the secret book he had accidentally obtained would be so terrifying!
Apart from being short of breath, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I was so ignorant that I leaked the truth in front of the other party with just one sentence.
Although I still had a lot of doubts in my heart, I was too embarrassed to ask any more questions and quickly changed the topic:
"Um...brother Tashan, didn't you say you had something to tell me before? But it doesn't matter..."
Tashan nodded and said:
"Brother Mu, thanks to your respect, please call me big brother, and I will make some things clear."
After a pause, he said again:
"I am indeed a few years older than you, and I have practiced for a few more years. If I am not mistaken, your martial arts cultivation is still in the acquired realm, and your Taoist cultivation is only superficial?"
"yes."
Mu Haotian frankly admitted that his martial arts was the third level of Houtian Realm - Inner Breath. As for Taoist practice, he had only successfully used the "Four Nine Mysterious Techniques" a few times so far. Even being able to master it was considered a compliment.
Tashan continued:
"Your master, Dao Xuanwu Jishan, is not a famous sect or a mysterious sect hidden in the world, right?"
"yes."
Mu Haotian said,
"This is just a small sect, but it has actually been in decline for many years."
Tashan's tone suddenly turned solemn:
"Then you know that today's world is turbulent and is about to usher in changes that have not been seen in thousands of years!"
Hearing this, Mu Haotian was startled, and suddenly recalled Zhang Zhentao's long speech in front of the waterfall. He did mention words such as "unparalleled demon king", "Jiuzhou Fengyunji meeting", "eternal time" and so on.
So he nodded and said:
"Not long ago, I heard someone talk about it, and it seemed to be related to a terrible demon king."
A sharp look flashed across Tashan's eyes and he said:
"The demon king came to this world, setting off a huge wave! All the heroes from the land of Kyushu gathered together, each competing for the throne. Not long ago, the death of Emperor Zhou suddenly occurred. The young emperor succeeded to the throne, and the powerful forces from all sides were ready to make a move.
"Since then, undercurrents have surged in the rivers, lakes, temples, and clouds, and chaos has arisen. The era of great strife is coming soon..."
"are you ready?"
Tashan Haoran spoke out, telling the general trend of the world in one breath, and looked at Mu Haotian with burning eyes.
are you ready?
Although Mu Haotian didn't understand much about the so-called troubled times and great disputes, after asking this question, he felt inexplicably flustered and said hurriedly:
"Brother Tashan, I don't have such big ideals and ambitions. I just want to live with my family and live in a corner..."
He stopped abruptly at this point, already understanding what Tashan meant! Although he is not strong enough, he has repeatedly made strong enemies. Now he is going to go into the troubled waters of the Long family without considering the consequences, and even takes three junior sisters into the danger. At the moment, he is struggling in his heart and blaming himself. He is sweating behind his back, and he can't help but remain silent. .
Tashan actually didn't know that he was going to save Han Wenjing and did not hesitate to offend the Long family during this trip. He just saw him acting impulsively at the dock without any scruples, so he gave him some reminders and nodded slightly when he saw that he had some enlightenment.
continued:
"The Demon King incident is just one of them, and its impact is mainly on the clouds, and may not affect mortals like us. But the incident of the Emperor Zhou is closely related to the peace of the world and the common people."
Tashan pointed to the sky, then folded his finger downwards, and said solemnly:
"Just now, have you noticed that there are many abnormalities recently?"
