Chapter 116
The old man's voice was like the undulating algae on the sea, faint and trembling, full of regret and sadness for the deceased.
Mu Qingyan stood up suddenly and walked around in the dark study, filled with anger that could not be relieved.
After he stood still, he pressed the desk firmly with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Why did my father live like this in his life? He has never lived according to his own wishes for a day in his life!"
He closed his palm into a fist and punched the desk, "I will never live my life like my father, never!"
"Sir, what happened?" Uncle Cheng asked anxiously.
Mu Qingyan did not answer. He closed his long, flying eyes and meditated quietly——
Most of the clues can be matched up. After Mu Zhengyang had just completed his cultivation, he sneaked out of the Hanhai Mountains and met Cai Pingshu intentionally or accidentally. The man who accompanied Cai Pingshu to the snow mountains to collect the saliva of the Snow Lindra Beast The man should be him.
And he found in the classics of Jiuzhou Baojuan Pavilion that purple jade and golden sunflower can cure the damage caused by the cold air of the netherworld. When Shi Erxia was injured, he informed Cai Pingshu about this.
Now there are only two things that cannot be explained:
First, why did Mu Zhengyang want to rob him as an infant?
Second, he should really hate Nie Hengcheng who prevented him from recognizing his ancestor and returning to his clan. Then why did he help Nie Hengcheng kill the brothers around Cai Pingshu?
Putting these aside for now, the most important thing now is to prove the innocence of his father, Mu Zhengming.
He must let Zhaozhao know that his father had been upright and indifferent throughout his life. He had only been let down by others and had never let anyone down.
But how can we win the trust of Qi Yunke, Cai Pingchun and others based on empty words? They may not believe the words of people in the "Devil Cult".
Then, he must have solid credentials.
Mu Qingyan suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Cheng, you just said that the woman was here to deliver Mu Zhengyang's relics. Where did my father put those relics? I have packed up my father's relics so many times, why? Never seen that before.”
Uncle Cheng took a moment to react, "Young master didn't put that box of things in Busi Zhai, he, he buried them all in the ground."
"Father's tomb?" Mu Qingyan hesitated.
Uncle Cheng said: "No, no, they are the tombs of the old master and the old lady."
Mu Qingyan: "Oh, that's good."
——Mu Zhengming’s tomb He was still a little hesitant, not wanting to disturb his father’s peace, so the tombs of his grandparents and grandparents didn’t matter.
If those two unreliable people hadn't indulged in their own love and grievances, the young Mu Zhengming would not have been able to live with Nie Hengcheng's breath, let alone Mu Zhengyang, who would have caused such a big disaster and caused all the subsequent events. Pity.
Parents who fail to raise their children well deserve to be dug up in their graves in the future.
Arriving at the Mu family's ancestral grave in the back mountain, passing through two towering and huge soul-suppressing stone beasts, and walking through the gloomy dark forest, Mu Qingyan led Cheng Bo and Lian Shisan to stand in front of the graves of Mu Chen and his wife.
Cheng Bo still murmured to himself: "Master, how can you dig up the graves of your grandparents?"
"It's really inappropriate for me to dig." Mu Qingyan handed the hoe in his hand to Lian Shisan, "Thirteen, you dig it."
Cheng Bo:......
Because Mu Zhengyang's relics were buried by Mu Zhengming a few years later, Lian Shisan quickly pulled out a large stone box from the edge of the tomb following the different traces of soil digging.
Mu Qingyan split open the stone box with the wind of his palm. Inside lay a small purple wood box that was two palms long and three inches thick. Holding a small brass buckle in the shape of a peach blossom, he opened the box and read through it carefully - Mu Qingyan The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and there was indeed evidence.
When leaving Mu's ancestral grave, Hu Fengge, Yu Huiyin, Lu Fengchun and others led their men to wait outside.
Mu Qingyan chatted with them impatiently, saying that he had to go out on urgent matters and asked them to stay in their places and watch the Hanhai Mountains.
Before leaving, Mu Qingyan suddenly turned around: "Where has Shangguan Haonan been recently?"
Hu Fengge cupped his hands and replied: "Replying to the leader, the leader of Shangguan altar took a leave of absence, saying that he loved his concubine and gave birth to a son, and he wanted to go back and watch."
Lu Fengchun saw Mu Qingyan frown and said with a smile, "The Shangguan family has been passed down for eight generations. I don't blame the Shangguan altar leader for being anxious."
Mu Qingyan turned around and said, "Having children is a good thing. Uncle Cheng, give me a generous gift."
Uncle Cheng said he would do it immediately and turned away with Lian Shisan.
After retreating from all the tribes, Mu Qingyan held the purple wooden box in one hand, summoned the golden-winged giant roc, and rushed back to Taichu Temple at full speed.
The cold wind blew across his face, but his chest seemed to be burning with fire. He wished he could step on Qi Yunke's face as he accused his father, and then pour a ladle of cold water on Cai Zhao's head to punish her for the displeasure in her eyes when she looked back at him. trust.
A few days later, Mu Qingyan arrived at the village outside Taichu Temple.
He got off the golden-winged giant roc in the wilderness and walked at night to a densely populated area to ask about the situation of the six Beichen sects. He asked several people in succession, and they all replied, "A few days ago, Wang Yuanjing, the leader of Taichu Temple, was buried. Do the reincarnation ceremony'.
Mu Qingyan felt a little anxious and sneaked into Taichu Temple that night.
In the night, he casually knocked down a little Taoist boy and asked where Cai Zhao lived. The little Taoist boy trembled and pointed to a place and replied: "Miss Cai and Master Cai Gu and his wife live in the next house."
Mu Qingyan was very suspicious, so he knocked down a boy and a handyman in the dark. Only after receiving the same answer did he believe that Cai Pingchun and his wife were nearby, so it would be difficult to talk to Zhaozhao in detail.
The lights in the room were bright, and Ning Xiaofeng held up a brand-new piece of indigo silver silk satin and compared it with her husband, mumbling: "Zhaozhao, do you think this material is worthy of your father? Is it stable and majestic?" I'll start now, and your dad will be able to wear it when autumn comes. Do you think it's better to wear a straight jacket or a large sleeves?"
Just when Cai Zhao was about to open his mouth, Cai Pingchun patted his wife's hand and said distressedly: "Don't do it, ask the people on the sewing thread to do it. Did you forget that the needle holes were all over your hands last time? Zhao Zhao, please advise your mother, don't do it." .”
Cai Zhao was about to open his mouth again, but Ning Xiaofeng muttered: "I like making clothes for you."
Cai Pingchun said softly: "Nine out of ten women in the world can do needlework. How many of them can prepare spices that are free of snakes, insects, rats, and ants within half a mile? How many of them can make antidotes to 90% of the poisons in the world?" Medicine. You are different from them. There are thousands of women in the world, but there is only one Ning Xiaofeng."
Cai Zhao rested his face on the table with his hands, watching without enthusiasm.
You are unique and irreplaceable - this is probably the most favorite thing for women in the world to hear. It is estimated that few outsiders can imagine watching a taciturn and indifferent father trying to please his wife.
As expected, Ning Xiaofeng's cheeks were dizzy and she looked at her husband with eyes full of love. Cai Pingchun also looked back affectionately.
Cai Zhao stood up leisurely: "I'd better go back to sleep. Dad, Mom, please have a good rest." - It's not easy to be a child. You have to be discerning and leave quickly when it's time to disappear.
Mu Qingyan waited quietly outside the elegant house on the west side for a moment. He saw that there were two rooms on the left and right separated by a slender corridor. The room on the left was dark, as if the lights had been turned off, and the room on the right had dim lights, and the window paper reflected The two shadowy figures, a man and a woman, should be Mr. and Mrs. Cai.
The young man hidden among the thick flower trees frowned slightly - why wasn't the Cai couple asleep while Zhao Zhao was still awake? This is a bit troublesome.
He thought for a moment and decided that the worst he could do was not quarrel with the girl to get angry, but just explain Mu Zhengyang's matter clearly, put down the purple wooden box and leave. This way he would not surprise the Cai family.
His Qingyun Zong has been cultivated to the point where he is light and erratic, and when he sneaks into the night, it is like melting into the depths of the sea. Use the force of your palm to gently break the wooden latch, slightly open the window sash and float in.
The familiar girl's fragrance came from the house, which was the sweet orange scent of soap locust that Cai Zhao liked. Mu Qingyan smiled slightly. Although he had no intention of stealing jade and fragrance, he was quite experienced in sneaking into Cai Zhao's house. At this moment, with the moonlight slightly filtering in through the cracks in the window, I walked slowly towards the round table. After taking only two or three steps, a creepy feeling suddenly came to my heart, as if I was being stared at by a beast in the jungle!
--Oops! There is a trap!
Mu Qingyan's body movements were faster than his thoughts, and his muscles and bones immediately reacted on their own. Just as he was about to jump away in the opposite direction, he heard a loud bang, and something exploded in the house. Rubbles, bricks, and sawdust were scattered everywhere. There was a clanging sound above his head and on all sides, and a huge iron fence made of black iron on five sides immediately surrounded him, covering him alive!
There were blood marks all over Mu Qingyan's arms, legs and arms. His ears were buzzing from the shock, and there was a tearing pain in his gut. A mouthful of blood poured out of his lips.
The wing room was blown to pieces, and the moonlight leaked through the large hole in the roof. Regardless of his injuries, he quickly looked up and saw that the black iron fences on all sides were as tall as a person. The area of black iron under his feet and above his head was even larger, and the table was actually covered by the black iron fence. The chair and himself are covered in it.
Amidst bursts of laughter, a large group of people with swords and swords walked into the broken wing, and the leaders of the various factions were at the head.
Song Shijun was particularly happy. He almost showed his back molars when he grinned: "Hahahahaha, I knew you would come back! These days are not in vain. I have deployed people on all sides, squatting at the entrances and exits of villages and towns day and night. As soon as I find you, Immediately report the traces of you! Hahahaha, you are so young after all. In the past two hundred years, you are the first demon sect leader to fall into our Beichen Prison, hahahaha..."
Qi Yunke glared at Tielao angrily: "Come here, first destroy this thief's Danyuan meridians!"
Song Shijun suddenly lost his breath and coughed repeatedly: "Don't say goodbye, brother Yunke, don't get excited. If you have anything to say, please say it!"
"What are you talking about! His father has harmed Pingshu and many of his brothers, what's wrong with killing him to pay for it!" Qi Yunke thought of Cai Pingshu, his close friend who shared life and death, and his eyes turned red with hatred.
"Yes, yes, it's too troublesome to waste time. Wouldn't it be nice to chop off his hands and feet first?" Yang Heying smiled sinisterly.
Song Yuzhi, who was standing behind them, had a complicated look on his face. He stepped forward and said, "Master, you want to kill him to pay for your ancestors' lives. I have nothing to say, but you should at least think about Junior Sister Zhaozhao! It's okay to kill him, but you shouldn't die." You must humiliate him here, otherwise Junior Sister Zhaozhao will never forget him in this life!"
Qi Yunke hesitated.
"We have been enmity with the Demon Sect for two hundred years, why don't we take action even if we are in the way of a little girl? If you don't move, I will do it!" Yang Heying thought of the reputation of the leader of the Demon Sect in his hands, and how famous he would be in the future. It's time to step forward with the sword.
Song Shijun grabbed him: "Lao Yang, why are you crazy? Brother Yunke wants to avenge Cai Pingshu, why are you joining in the fun! Mu Qingyan fell into our hands, but the demon sect behind him is still fine. ! Have you forgotten that my old father-in-law and your old man only boasted a few words about Nie Hengcheng's death, and Nie's tribe came to take revenge to the death! It took three days to piece together your old man's body, and now Si Qimen weighs several pounds and can withstand such a torment!"
Yang Heying stopped immediately, his eyes flickering.
Li Yuanmin glared at Mu Qingyan bitterly, and said bitterly: "My senior brother was tortured into a human pig, and now I, Taichu Guan, will retaliate with an eye for an eye. This is just justice! Even the heroine Cai Pingshu is here today, and she also I’d agree!”
Facing him, Song Shijun was no longer so patient, and immediately stood up and said, "If you have the ability, go and arrest the person yourself. This mechanism and this trap are all carefully arranged by us! Get out of the way and stop talking!"
Zhou Zhizhen suddenly said: "I have never heard of what happened back then. Now I know that Pingshu did not have to die, and brothers Zhuge and the others could have lived a good life, marrying wives and having children, singing and drinking freely. However, they were raped in their prime years. You will die with your eyes open. Such a great hatred must be avenged. I will kill them without involving you."
He drew out his green long sword, and his usually elegant and gentle face turned livid, "Master Mu, I have no enmity with you, but I have no enmity with you, but you must repay your father's debt, so you accept your fate. If you want to blame, blame your father..."
"Don't talk about my father!" Mu Qingyan sat on the stool holding the iron railing, "I'm here to clarify this matter today. The person who deceived and killed all the heroes was not my father, but someone else. people."
Qi Yunke was angry: "That man looks exactly like you, who else could he be if he wasn't your father!"
Mu Qingyan's cold gaze said, "Sect Leader Qi, is there a blood-red mark on that man's neck..."
Qi Yunke's pupils shrank: "The left back side of the neck, iris!"
Mu Qingyan said: "His name is Mu Zhengyang, and he and my father are twins."
"Mu Zhengyang?!" Qi Yunke looked confused. Cai Pingshu never told her the name of her sweetheart.
Zhou Zhizhen said coldly: "I've never heard that Mu Zhengming has a brother. If you want to shirk responsibility, it's not that easy!"
"Of course I know that no one will believe empty words. Take a look for yourselves." Mu Qingyan pointed to the purple wooden box on the ground under the window lattice, "This was delivered to my father by Lady Cai herself. Mu Qingyan Zhengyang’s relic.”
The matter involved Cai Pingshu's wife. Although Song Shijun and Yang Heying were curious, they were too embarrassed to rush forward.
Qi Yunke and Zhou Zhizhen looked at each other. Finally, Zhou Zhizhen stepped forward to pick up the purple wood box and found that the copper buckle was the peach blossom style commonly used in Luoying Valley. He opened it with trembling hands and looked through...
He covered his face with a painful hand, leaned his trembling body against the broken wall, and let out a low moan that sounded like pain.
Qi Yunke quickly stepped forward to support him, took the box and looked at it for himself.
There are many things scattered in the purple wooden box. The more eye-catching ones are a slightly yellowed beaded flower hairpin, a pair of jade bracelets as clear as blue waves, and a blood-stained handkerchief. Two different The hair is tied together with ribbons, and there is a bright red and gold engagement deed...
Qi Yunke picked up the beaded flower hairpin - for convenience, Cai Pingshu rarely wore jewelry, but Qi Yunke had seen her wearing this beaded flower hairpin many times. The pearl flower is made of nine thumb-sized pearls strung together, and the hairpin body is made of pure white jade, carved into the shape of a twisted silk flower.
Qi Yunke raised the beaded hairpin and took a closer look under the moonlight. He saw the word "Yang" carved on the handle of the hairpin. The font was elegant and thin, and the hairpin fell back into the wooden box with a "ding-dong" sound. Qi Yunke seemed to have been drained of all his strength and was weak.
Before Cai Zhaolin went out, he suddenly turned around: "We have been living in the elegant house on the west side these days, why did we suddenly change to this guest room tonight?"
Ning Xiaofeng lowered his head and looked through the clothing materials.
Cai Pingchun's eyes were calm, "You haven't eaten well or slept well these past few days, and you have lost a lot of weight. Zhaozhao, this is not good. Now that you know the road to nowhere, it is useless to think too much."
Cai Zhao frowned and looked at his parents in confusion.
At this time, there was a loud roar in the distance, as if the ground was shaken.
Cai Zhao didn't stand still, and his forehead banged on the door frame.
