The next day, the heavy snow gradually stopped, and Mo Guyuan woke up from his meditation practice. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Nie standing outside the window in a daze, motionless.
"What's wrong? You're standing here in a daze early in the morning, but you didn't sleep well last night?" Mo Guyuan got out of bed and asked slowly.
Yu Nie turned her head and said to Mo Guyuan, "Yesterday, the young man took us back to his house. He said that this place is only a few miles away from Weishui. But before, I let my mind search and didn't notice any water channels around it. You Don’t you think it’s weird?”
Mo Guyuan paused and looked at Yu Nie with a brighter look in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to have such awareness, but it's rare."
Yu Nie rolled her eyes and said, "It's time to play and have fun. Now that I'm traveling with Luokui, I'd better be careful."
"You! Then how come we didn't see you so interested when we traveled with the three of us, Miss Yu?"
"You are stupid. Of course this opportunity was left to you when we were three together. Otherwise, with Gurgling's nymphomaniac character and seeing how brave and resourceful I am, she still wouldn't be able to fall in love with me wholeheartedly?"
Mo Guyuan was stunned, with a dark face unable to refute.
"Based on my current mental exploration, I can basically get a rough idea of the situation within a ten-mile radius. You said before that you couldn't find any traces of Weoshui. In fact, I already inquired about it when I first arrived here last night. Indeed, As you said, weak water is not here." Mo Guyuan said softly from the side.
Yu Nie raised her eyebrows and said, "Then why didn't you say anything then?"
Mo Guyuan sighed helplessly and said, "It's getting late and it's windy and snowy. It's rare to find a shelter, so I'll just stop and rest for a while. Besides, aren't you worried about Luokui? She gritted her teeth and kept persevering, it’s not easy for a little girl.”
Yu Nie suddenly approached Mo Guyuan, glanced at it suspiciously, and said, "Then what do you think we should do now?"
"Now that you've come, let's take care of it. Since that little boy brought us here, he must have some intention. We might as well wait and see how he gets better." Mo Guyuan said with a smile.
Yu Nie shrugged and said nothing more.
Outside, the sun is shining brightly, a rare sunny day.
The lame young man with one arm was driving an emaciated donkey step by step in the courtyard to grind beans. The donkey was listless and weak, and looked as good as the young man.
When he noticed Mo Guyuan and others coming out, the young man looked back, immediately stopped what he was doing, and slowly approached them.
Mo Guyuan looked curiously, and the young man's eyes were bright, with a hint of hope.
After a while, the young man said coldly, "Are you the immortal cultivators on the mountain?"
Yu Nie frowned and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
"There is no settlement within a hundred miles of Heli Mountain. It was extremely windy and snowy at that time. Without my help, you would not have been able to get out of Heli Mountain. It was freezing cold, so I saved you." The young man said with confidence.
Yu Nie's face was stunned, and then she said in a funny voice, "Since you know that we are cultivators of immortality, do you think that little bit of wind and snow can freeze us to death?"
The young man's face turned pale, but he still said stubbornly, "I don't care. If you stayed at my house last night, you accepted my kindness."
Yu Nie saw that this young man kept saying that he wanted to be loved by others. It was rare for him to be so blatant. He was still a young and immature young man. Yu Nie frowned slightly, and when he was about to scold him, Luo Kui behind him pulled him back, signaling Yu Nie not to argue with him.
The young man's eyes were deep and he looked at the people in front of him with determination.
Mo Guyuan said, "What do you want?"
Hearing these words, the young man suddenly had a hint of eagerness on his face. He couldn't help but take a few steps closer to the front and said, "You are the gods on the mountain. Can you teach me the magic of immortality so that I can fly sand and move rocks like you did yesterday?"
So that was it, it seemed that the young man had a clear view of the fight between the two of them on the snow yesterday, but he didn't know that the formation at that time was all done by Dumpling alone.
Mo Guyuan looked at the young man's sincere expression, then looked at his body's decadent posture, and said truthfully, "Cultivating Taoism on the mountain requires talent and temperament. Not just anyone who wants to become an immortal can embark on this path. It’s not that I underestimate you, it’s just that with your current condition, it’s very difficult to take this path. In addition to spending a long time, you also have to endure hardships that ordinary people cannot bear.”
The young man gritted his teeth and said firmly, "I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as I can cultivate immortal magic, I'm willing to do anything!"
The young man said it categorically, but in the eyes of Mo Guyuan and others, this young man was clearly venting the anger in his heart with hatred and unwillingness.
"Why cultivate immortality?"
"I want revenge."
Several people looked at the young man's heart and mind, and they were all confused for a while. They didn't know what happened to this young man.
Mo Guyuan approached the young man. He originally wanted to verify the young man's strength in person, but without waiting for his reaction, the young man knelt down and lowered his head and said indifferently, "My mother said that a real man is born in this world. But I kneel down to the sky and kneel to my parents. Today I beg you to teach me the magic of immortality so that I can avenge my parents."
Yu Qinggong stepped forward, helped him stand up in a hurry, and said displeasedly, "Since your mother has said so, it's outrageous that you still kneel down to others."
The young man's body trembled, and then his eyes turned slightly red. He tried hard to hold it in, and choked out, "At least you are the immortals on the mountain that I have seen with my own eyes. You are much better than the Bodhisattva and Buddha statues in the temple. If they don't move, you can It’s even more funny that it attracts so many people to flock to it and bow down in worship.”
Mo Guyuan was suspicious for a while, then he turned to the boy in front of him patiently and curiously, "What's your name?"
The young man said, "Liang Yan."
"Liang Yanliangyan, this is a good name."
The young man named Liang Yan forced a smile, but ignored what Mo Guyuan said and still looked at him with earnest eyes.
"This time we came to this cold northern land, our original intention was to go to Ruoshui to practice. Since you brought us to your home, you also asked us to teach you immortal magic, saying that it was to avenge your parents. But cultivating Taoism on the mountain has never been It's not for the purpose of killing the enemy with law or complaining with force." Mo Guyuan explained.
When Liang Yan heard this, he immediately understood what Mo Guyuan was saying, and said angrily, "If you don't want to, just tell me. What nonsense are you talking to me about? I've read as many books as you, and I need you to tell me what to do in front of me?"
Mo Guyuan was suffocated, but Yu Qinggong beside him heard it very freshly. This young man Liang Yan was really good-tempered.
Yu Nie crossed her arms and looked at Mo Guyuan with interest, wondering what he was thinking at this moment.
"Don't worry, he is just talking about his theory. Since you want to practice immortal magic to avenge your parents, you must tell us the whole story so that we can judge right from wrong." Yu Qinggong smiled and said softly.
Liang Yan looked at Yu Qingg's smile and turned his head away, not daring to look any further.
"Let's go back to the house and sit down and talk. You can't just stand outside and drink the northwest wind." Yu Nie said without saying anything, picked up the dumplings in one hand and held Luokui in the other, and turned around and walked in.
Mo Guyuan looked at Yu Nie's generous and decent appearance, as if he was the master of the house and he was still a family of three.
At the door of the house, Yu Qinggong looked back and waved to Liang Yan, who was stunned, and said with a smile, "Why are you still standing there? Come in quickly."
Liang Yan responded with a muted response and walked inside step by step.
In front of the crowded square table, several people sat in a circle and looked at Liang Yan, as if they were eating melons. Liang Yan was a little overwhelmed.
"Tell me, what's going on with your parents? Tell me carefully. You've really been harmed by others. Let alone teaching you immortal magic, I can help you solve it directly." Yu Nie crossed her legs and said to herself.
Luokui bumped Yu Nie's chest with her elbow and said dissatisfied, "Be more serious."
Liang Yan looked around at the few people, collected his thoughts, sat upright, and said, "My father is a teacher in Qingyun Town, his name is Liang Jun, and my mother's name is Yan Honghu. They make a living by spinning. As long as I can remember, our family has been The three of us can live and work happily here."
Mo Guyuan was surprised. No wonder Liang Yan said before that he had read a lot of books. It turned out that his father was a teacher.
"A year ago, my father went to teach at a private school in the town as usual, but he never came back after that day. My mother waited for my father to not come back, so she set off to the private school in the town to look for my father. Who knew If I go there, even my mother will die unjustly." The young man's words were concise and to the point, but he couldn't help but clenched his fists again, with a look of hatred on his face. ωω.net
Several people didn't understand what was going on and looked at Liang Yan one after another, wondering what happened to his parents in the town.
"Later I secretly ran to the private school, and after hearing what another teacher said to me, I realized that my parents were tied up by the town people to a weak water and drowned alive." Liang Yan choked, short Just a few words made him burst into tears.
"What on earth is going on? Why did you drown your parents?" Yu Nie asked subconsciously.
Liang Yan wiped away the tears on his face and said bitterly, "Two years ago, there was a plague in Qingyun Town. The people in the town became ill due to the disease and it spread everywhere. Almost every household was infected and there were countless deaths and injuries. But because we are a family of three There is nothing unusual, but we were maliciously slandered by some people, saying that the source of the plague spread from our family, and as long as the source is solved, the plague in the town can be solved."
As soon as these words came out, not only Yu Nie's face turned cold, but even Luo Kui showed a bit of anger.
"This is unreasonable and unfounded. Who is the one who is making the accusation out of thin air? Tell me and I will take you over to settle the score with him." Yu Nie stood up, snapping the case.
There was a hint of urgency on the young man's face, and he said, "It's the City God's Temple at the east entrance of the town. After many twists and turns, I found out that the news came from the City God's Temple."
"City God's Temple?"
"Yes, the reason why the people in the town tied up my parents and drowned them in weak water was because the news came out from the City God's Temple that my parents were the incarnations of the God of Plague, and that the plague in Qingyun Town was brought by my parents. As long as Kill them and this plague will stop.”
Yu Nie was walking in a hurry. After hearing a few words, he was about to take Liang Yan to the town to ask for an explanation. Mo Guyuan quickly stopped him. He said to Yu Nie, "This matter is quite strange. Don't startle the snake first. It’s better that we understand it clearly before we talk about it.”
Yu Nie was displeased, and suddenly Mo Guyuan said something from his heart, and he soon stopped.
Mo Guyuan turned back to Liang Yan and asked, "Liang Yan, after your parents were drowned, has the plague in the town gotten better?"
When Liang Yan heard this, his face instantly turned pale. He lowered his head and froze on the bench, silent.
