When You Guanyue finally took the time to change out of her bloody clothes and eat some food, the vast Hanhai Mountains were once again shrouded in the dark blue night sky. Under the sky full of stars, the exhausted You Guanyue, with the burning thought of being the confidant of the new monarch, went straight to Mu Qingyan to recover his life, regardless of the fact that it was already midnight. Unexpectedly, he happened to see his beloved new monarch being killed by Cai Zhao. Pushing hard to push out the door.
The beautiful girl with disheveled hair, her eyes bloodshot and in a bad mood, left a sentence through the crack of the door: "I'm so sleepy that I need to sleep. No one, no matter human or ghost, is allowed to disturb me or else I'll be stabbed." Then there was a bang. When he closed the door, he almost hit Mu Qingyan's nose.
Seeing this, You Guanyue turned around and wanted to run away.
Mu Qingyan stopped him without hesitation, and Yu Guanyue saw the situation and reported quickly, "All Nie's party members at various passes and in the Palace of Paradise have surrendered, and there are still a few remaining party members who could not return to aid Nie Zhe in time. , they are still scattered outside. I thought they would not be able to achieve anything, and they can be captured and killed slowly in the future."
"Ever since the Battle of Qingluo River, they have all gone. The remaining goods are just a group of maggots living on the rotting corpses of Nie Heng City. They will be put away slowly in the future." Mu Qingyan asked another question, "Bring the things. Is it done?"
You Guanyue immediately presented a small boxwood box. A thin layer of white frost seemed to have condensed on the outside of the box.
Mu Qingyan took the box and asked, "How is Mr. Song's condition?"
"I woke up before nightfall and fell asleep again after taking the medicine." You Guanyue had learned Song Yuzhi's identity from Shangguan Haonan.
Mu Qingyan nodded: "In that case, let's go and see Mr. Song."
You Guanyue wriggled her lower lip. He wanted to say that Song Yuzhi was the injured after all, and it was not good to wake people up in the middle of the night.
But he didn't say it in the end.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the west hall, he saw Song Yuzhi's room brightly lit, as if he was waiting for someone.
Mu Qingyan stepped into the room with a smile: "Brother Song is still so charming despite being seriously injured. It's really gratifying."
You Guanyue glanced at Song Yuzhi, who was sitting on the sofa, and saw that his face was pale and his cheeks were sunken. He could not hide his weakness as he was recovering from a serious injury. He only had a pair of dark eyes that were deep and powerful.
"I guess it's time for Shaojun to arrive." He said softly.
Mu Qingyan sat opposite him, "How is Brother Song's injury?"
"It's all just trauma to the skin, muscles, and bones. It hasn't hurt the Dantian. You can walk around after half a day's rest." Song Yuzhi knew what the other party meant, so he simply said it himself, "Where's the junior sister? She's fine."
Mu Qingyan smiled: "Zhao Zhao is very good. I wanted to come with her to see Brother Song just now, but she scolded me and kicked me out. She just said I hadn't slept enough."
Song Yuzhi couldn't help but look at the handsome young man with a smile in front of him.
He met Mu Qingyan before Cai Zhao, and he knew something about the other person's bad temper - Mu Qingyan was the kind of person who didn't want others to be happy when he wasn't happy, and he didn't want to hide it at all. His own vitriol.
In the past, whenever I mentioned Cai Zhao, his nose was not his nose or his eyes, but now his attitude was completely different, as if he had been covered with a warm and smoky smile mask, making it difficult to tell the depth.
Mu Qingyan said, "Brother Song saved the members of our religion in times of crisis. I will remember this kindness and will definitely repay it in the future." Shangguan Haonan is his subordinate, so this kindness will naturally go to Zhu Jun. Down.
"Being a knight and doing justice is our duty. Young Master, don't worry about it." Song Yuzhi waved his hand, "I wonder about that purple jade golden sunflower..."
"I was about to say this." Mu Qingyan said, "I had ordered someone to open the treasure house and search it carefully, but..."
He paused, "However, I couldn't find the Purple Jade Golden Sunflower anywhere."
Song Yu was surprised: "Can't find it everywhere? The Purple Jade Golden Sunflower is not in your sect?" His inference on the whereabouts of the Purple Jade Golden Sunflower was actually just based on guesswork. If there was any evidence, there was no evidence.
"Didn't Lady Cai return the purple jade golden sunflower?" The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the last person who handled the purple jade golden sunflower was Cai Pingshu.
"Nowadays, the personnel affairs in the religion are in chaos, and the details are still unclear." Mu Qingyan shook his head.
With disappointment on Song Yuzhi's face, he pushed the wooden box covered with white frost onto the table, "Brother Song, please accept this."
Song Yuzhi took the wooden box, opened it, and found a palm-sized jade lying in the box. It was all white and cold, and frosty air was still oozing out from the thick wooden box.
"Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade under the Snowy Mountains of the Western Regions?" He grew up in the most famous family in the world, so he is naturally a knowledgeable person.
Mu Qingyan smiled and said: "Although this thing is not as solid and dense as the Purple Jade Golden Sunflower, its effect in alleviating the burning internal energy is even better. I only hope that Brother Song will not dislike it and accept this thing."
He added, "The Nie Zhe rebellion has yet to be clarified, and it is unknown whether the purple jade golden sunflower may have fallen somewhere else. The purple jade golden sunflower is said to be a treasure, but in fact it is nothing more than a worthless thing in the eyes of first-class experts. If it is not for the treatment of the coldness of the netherworld, I can't think of any other use for the injury. If I find it in the future, I will send it to Brother Song immediately."
Song Yuzhi slowly closed the ice jade box and nodded in agreement, but in his heart he thought, even if what you said is false, do I have any other choice?
He was not a suspicious person, because by the time he grew up and became sensible, Nie Hengcheng and his loyal confidants had long since disappeared, and the good and evil factions had entered a stage of peaceful stalemate, so he had never really seen the evil sect's actions.
However, this time he entered the Hanhai Mountains, which really opened his eyes - the ordinary people who were controlled and protected by the Demonic Cult were turned into zombie slaves alive; the bone-corroding sky rain that would rot if touched; the underground stone chambers that exploded at the slightest disagreement. Even if there are relatives and friends among them; not to mention the inhumane tragedy that Wu Yuanying suffered before.
After all this, he finally believed what his elders said, and the Demon Cult was indeed a group of cruel and evil people.
"As Brother Song, it is useless to stay in this sect for longer." Mu Qingyan stood up, "Brother Song, please sleep again. I will send someone to send Brother Song out at dawn tomorrow."
Song Yuzhi handed each other away, wondering where I could sleep.
…
The night breeze blew slowly, and Mu Qingyan strode forward with his clothes fluttering, heading straight to the east side hall where Hu Fengge was recovering from his injuries.
In order to save the Lord from waiting, You Guanyue originally wanted to find a maid to wake Hu Fengge up, but he never thought that the lights in Hu Fengge's house were also bright, and there were already guests in the house. If Cai Zhao saw this situation, he would definitely complain about you. Do all demon sects stay awake in the middle of the night?
Yu Huiyin was originally sitting in front of the couch, talking softly to Hu Fengge. When he saw Mu Qingyan and You Guanyue, the middle-aged scholar in his thirties became as nervous as someone secretly kissing his sweetheart under the fence. The boy ran away with a blushing face.
Mu Qingyan looked at Yu Huiyin's back and smiled: "Did I disturb Elder Hu's good deeds?"
Hu Fengge neatly came to the bed and saluted, and smiled heartily after hearing this: "Young Master, you are just joking. Hui Yin has been shy since he was a child, but he has a good heart. He often gives me food, drink and medicine secretly. Alas, he has been raped by Chen Shu and Nie since he was a child. Zhe is bullying and is used to being a lowly person."
Mu Qingyan glanced at You Guanyue, who understood and bowed away.
Then Mu Qingyan motioned for Hu Fengge to lie down and talk, and Hu Fengge said: "He crawled out of the Tiangang Disha Camp since he was a child. This injury is nothing. If his body bones were not strong enough, he would have died in that Gu breeding farm."
Mu Qingyan sat down, cupped his hands and said, "I can turn defeat into victory this time, and I have to thank Elder Hu for his crucial counterattack."
Hu Fengge didn't dare to ask for help, so he quickly knelt down on one leg and said, "I don't dare to take on such a humble position." The rules of the Lisheng sect are strict. Since he has recognized Mu Qingyan as his master, he must bear in mind the distinction between superior and inferior.
She raised her head slightly: "Young Master, when Nie Hengcheng died, Hui was still young and had not participated in any Nie party activities. After Nie Hengcheng's death, he annoyed Nie Zhe by repeatedly admonishing him, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains. Do you think... "
Mu Qingyan waved his hand: "As long as Yu Huiyin does not want to restore the glory of the Nie family, I will not embarrass him."
Hu Fengge probed: "Then young master Si'en..."
In fact, she had no good impression of Li Ruxin and her son. When she was fighting for her life in the Tiangang Disha Camp, she would often see this charming young lady walking past proudly, without even looking at the group of dead soldiers below who were stained with mud and blood. one time. However, Yu Huiyin was thinking of Nie Hengcheng's kindness. If Mu Qingyan insisted on executing Li Ruxin and her son, things would be in trouble.
Mu Qingyan seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled slightly: "Nie Hengcheng can tolerate my father and me, how can I not tolerate a mere young son of the Nie family?"
Hu Fengge was overjoyed: "Young Master is wise!" After getting up, she added, "Actually, young Master Si'en is born with deficiencies and his body is weak. Not only can't he practice superior Kung Fu, I don't think he will live long."
Mu Qingyan waved his hand indifferently, "Let him be."
Hu Fengge looked at his face and was in a daze: "Young Master, you look exactly like your father, but..."
"But the look is very different, right?" Mu Qingyan said lightly, "I am not the father."
Hu Fengge sighed, "Before night, I heard that You Guanyue brought Shaojun's mother, Mrs. Sun, to the mountain. Shaojun, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. Mrs. Sun does have various faults, but, but..."
She was good at killing people, setting fires, and torturing people, but her words were not very eloquent. In the end, she had to say, "Those with two wings are the goshawks who are not afraid of wind and rain, and the house sparrows that live under the eaves. Sun Ruoshui, she, she She is just an ordinary woman who has no ability to protect herself, please young master, please put her aside and ignore her."
Although he said it tactfully, he was afraid that Mu Qingyan would hurt Sun Ruoshui, secretly or openly, so he begged for mercy in a veiled way.
Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, quite curious, "Elder Hu actually spoke for Mrs. Sun."
As for others, Hu Fengge fought his way out of the Tiangang Disha camp. His hands were bloody and he killed countless people. He had countless innocent souls under his command. At this moment, he actually defended Sun Ruo with a look of pity.
Hu Fengge sighed sadly: "Young master, don't you know, in fact, your mother and I were brought into the sect together."
Mu Qingyan noticed something unusual in these words, "Together? Are Elder Hu and Master Sun from the same village?"
Hu Fengge's answer was very subtle: "Sun Ruoshui and I are from the same village, but Master Sun and I are not from the same village."
"Mrs. Sun is not the daughter of Master Sun?!" Mu Qingyan understood immediately.
Hu Fengge smiled bitterly: "A natural disaster struck and the whole village suffered. How could a weak woman escape? It was Nie Hengcheng who wanted to take advantage of your father, but the real Miss Sun was already dead, so he had to choose among the girls he raised. The most beautiful and gentle one will come out. Anyway, no one has seen Miss Sun when she grew up, so Ruoshui just needs to remember Master Sun's life and articles." Mu Zhengming is not a suspicious person anyway.
Mu Qingyan's whole body seemed to be frozen, and his eyes were cold. After a moment, he regained his warm smile and said, "So, my father was deceived from beginning to end."
Seeing him like this, Hu Fengge saw the truly gentle and generous young master in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh again, "Ruoshui is also in a very difficult situation. If she is the real Miss Sun, as long as she goes out of her way to share her difficulties, your respect for Master Sun's kindness will The Supreme Leader will protect her from Nie Hengcheng - but she is not the one. What she can do is to listen to Nie Hengcheng."
There was one thing she didn't say. It was during those difficult days that Nie Zhe's soft words comforted Sun Ruoshui.
Mu Qingyan laughed and said, "Nie Hengcheng does not keep useless people under his command. Those who can enter the Tiangang Disha camp must have good bones or good looks. Lu Chengnan pays attention to his tone of voice and always waits for the new children to calm down. , they will be allowed to choose whether to be a dead soldier or to be a servant. Elder Hu chose the former, and Mrs. Sun chose the latter."
Before hiring someone, he had already thoroughly investigated Hu Fengge's past. The conclusion is that even if Hu Fengge is not used by herself, she is still a person worthy of respect. This respect does not distinguish between men and women.
Hu Fengge was startled - all the decisions he made back then were just like the previous life, and he had almost forgotten them.
In order to make herself give up completely, she even cut her own face with broken pieces of porcelain, just to completely cut off her escape route. From now on, you can no longer make profits based on your looks, you can only rely on hard work and practice your skills.
She unconsciously touched her scarred cheek, feeling very emotional. She was once a beautiful and lovely little girl, but she did not want to place her own safety, honor and disgrace on the pity, admiration or lust of others. She wanted to hold the weapon by herself, even if she died without a burial place. It's better than waiting for someone to take pity on you.
The decision made more than 20 years ago now seems to be divided into high and low. She is still a high-ranking elder of the Seven Stars, but Sun Ruoshui will inevitably live in a corner for the rest of his life.
But Hu Fengge knew that even if he was still living on the edge of a knife and licking blood at this moment, and Sun Ruoshui was still living a pampered and romantic life, he would not regret it.
Having said this, Hu Fengge knew that he didn't need to persuade her anymore. At worst, he would visit Sun Ruoshui more often when she lived in seclusion in the future, which would help to maintain the friendship between the sisters from the same village when they were young.
At this time, You Guanyue came in, "Young Master, Elder Yan is awake."
Mu Qingyan nodded, said goodbye to Hu Fengge, and then turned around and went to the last room in the east side hall.
The room was filled with a strong smell of medicinal wine. Yan Xu sat cross-legged on the couch like a twisted old Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. After seeing Mu Qingyan, he bowed respectfully on the bed, "Yan Xu has met Shaojun, please come." After the succession ceremony, the old man remembered Shaojun as the twelfth leader of our sect."
The old man raised his face and smiled, "The old man refused to record Nie Zhe as the leader of the religion, and also wanted to ask your father to come out and regain control of the religion. That's why he aroused Nie Zhe's hatred and set a trap to capture the old man."
"That's what you came to me to talk about?" Mu Qingyan stood in front of the couch with his hands behind his back, "When you recorded Nie Hengcheng as the eleventh leader and the only leader with a different surname in the sect, were you so happy?"
Yan Xu raised his voice and said: "I know that the young master was not happy about what happened back then, but I still want to say that it was natural for Nie Hengcheng to succeed as the leader of the cult!"
"When your great-grandfather became discouraged and felt sorry for himself because of his mother-in-law's death, the teenage Nie Hengcheng decided to reform academic affairs."
"When your grandfather and his wife, who was a spoiler of the family, were at risk of death, Nie Hengcheng devoted himself to the god's religion, thinking of everything he could to sleep, sleep, and sleep."
"While you and I were only focused on hiding ourselves, Nie Hengcheng stepped up his game to compete with the six Beichen factions!"
"Young Master, what do you think God's Religion is? Is it a collection of things in the house that you can hold in your hands and put down when you want?! Or is it the three-acre field in the backyard of your Mu family that you can cultivate whenever you want?" , to be abandoned if you want to be abandoned? Damn you! Good words can’t persuade a dying ghost! Later, three generations of your family were controlled by Nie Hengcheng. Who can blame you? You have done your own evil and suffered it!"
"I was born in a divine religion and grew up in a divine religion. My loyalty to the divine religion is evident day by day! How could I have approved of Nie Hengcheng's succession to the throne if there was even one person in your family who was willing to listen to advice?"
The tall figure standing by the window was motionless, as if he had formed an ice sculpture.
When Yan Xu saw Mu Qingyan in such a state, he knew that the hammer had struck, and he was immediately overjoyed. He decided to strike while the iron was hot, pretending to be mature and solemn on his face, "Young Jun, since you have listened, you should break up with that little girl with a smile on her face! There is no need for a real man to have a wife. Young Jun's marriage will be taken care of by me. I promise to find someone for you..."
"Her surname is Cai." Mu Qingyan finally spoke, "Her name is Cai Zhao, her father is Cai Pingchun, the owner of Luoying Valley, her mother is Mrs. Ning, and her uncle is Chan Master Juexing of Changchun Temple. She also has a deceased aunt named Cai Pingshu."
According to the rules of Lijiao, once you serve as a pen-bearer, you cannot interfere too much in the teaching affairs. You must also try to stay out of the grievances and grievances in the teachings, and strive to record the teaching history as calmly as water. Therefore, Yan Xu is still a little confused about Zen Master Cai Pingchunning, Xiaofeng Juexing and so on, but the words Cai Pingshu are like thunder in the ears of Li Jiao!
Yan Xu immediately jumped three feet high from the bed: "Cai Pingshu! That's Cai Pingshu! You, you, you, how could you..." He was so popular that he didn't know what to scold.
Mu Qingyan's great-grandmother was just a little weak, Mu Qingyan's grandmother was just a little stubborn, and Mu Qingyan's mother was just a spy sent by Nie Hengcheng - even though they were not reliable women, they were still A member of the same religion.
Who would have thought that Mu Qingyan would go one step further and get a little witch from Beichen Six Sect! Heaven and earth, what kind of god is trying to destroy me and leave my religion!
Yan Xu collapsed on the bed, his head buzzing.
Mu Qingyan was still on the side and said calmly: "I have to do something later. Since Elder Yan is so energetic, why don't we come and have a look together. Watch the moon and order someone to bring the chariot."
