Chapter 23: Enlightenment (1)
When dawn came the next day, the cemetery, which had been gloomy last night, seemed a little holy. Looking at the light spots around him that were slowly dissipating, Mu Jingfan exhaled a long breath.
Another thing is over.
Something suddenly occurred to him, and he pulled out his phone from his trouser pocket and looked at the phone number he had dialed earlier. As if he had exhausted all his strength, he pressed the heavy dial.
Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~
One by one, it sounded like a long time to Mu Jingfan.

"Hey, Frightened Sail, what's wrong, calling so early. Teacher Zhang's confused voice came from the other end of the phone, and it seemed that he was quarreled by this phone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I woke you up so early, I, I've thought about it for a long time, and I have made a decision about what you said. ”
"Hmm, have you thought about it? Wait, don't tell the teacher yet, let's make an appointment, I'll see, noon, I'll call you before noon, meet and talk. ”
Without waiting for Mu Jingfan to speak again, Mr. Zhang hung up the phone. All the rhetoric that Mu Jingfan had thought of in advance was suddenly useless at this time, which made Mu Jingfan feel that his fist was hitting the cotton.
After all, Teacher Zhang can be regarded as a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and when she heard Mu Jingfan's tone, she already knew Mu Jingfan's answer, but she still couldn't bear to see her most optimistic student so oblivious.
She wanted to try to persuade Mu Jingfan one last time, but few people would make her so attentive.
"Noon, but before that, let me take a break. Mu Jingfan put away his mobile phone, returned home silently, and fell asleep on the sofa.
After the war, Mu Jingfan was really tired.
Mu Jingfan woke up and looked up at the time, it was already 11 o'clock. He hadn't forgotten that Mr. Zhang had made an appointment with him to meet at noon, and looked at his phone, and there were 4 or 5 missed calls.
Mu Jingfan dialed back, "Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry, I was sleeping in front of me, and I didn't hear it." ”
"It's okay, I'm just a phone call to tell you to meet at the café near the school at 1 p.m. ”
"Yes, okay, I see. ”
Hanging up the phone, Mu Jingfan felt a feeling of irritability in his heart for no reason, and his chest was always like a big stone blocked, and everything was not going well.
Slowly and leisurely swaying to the vicinity of the café, Mu Jingfan looked at the time, only to find that there was still nearly an hour or so before the appointed time.
Sitting inside the café and listening to the bells ringing from time to time, time passes slowly in the taste of a sip of coffee. Fortunately, Ms. Zhang is not a person who likes to be late, and she arrived when there were still 10 minutes before the appointed time.
Looking around, she saw Mu Jingfan sitting in the corner, so she walked over, took out a note from her bag as she walked, and slapped it in front of Mu Jingfan's eyes.
She really couldn't stand it, and she couldn't stand Mu Jingfan's hesitant behavior. She didn't want to give up on this student from the bottom of her heart, but Mu Jingfan disappointed her again and again.
Mu Jingfan saw Teacher Zhang's expression, and he also seemed to realize something, and on the note was a list of landline phone numbers, which was probably the professor that Teacher Zhang knew.
The two were silent for a long time.
"Jingfan, today, let's go with the teacher. ”
Mu Jingfan nodded, and after settling the bill, the two walked out of the coffee shop, and after the store door went out, they walked a little further to the gate of Mu Jingfan's high school. Looking at the familiar white teaching building in front of him, Mu Jingfan felt a little stinging in his eyes.
His memory went back to that day, the day he made the decision that changed his life, when a crowd of parents and students waving their hands crowded in front of the noisy school gate, and he was the only one who walked silently behind the crowd.
This is his sorrow, once he chooses this path, he is destined to be farther and farther away from the people around him.
He didn't blame the teacher and others for not understanding him, on the contrary, he was glad that they didn't know all this. There are some things that can only be lived happily if you don't know.
Teacher Zhang looked at the student beside him, at this time he suddenly changed into a person, and a sad temperament suddenly appeared on his body, no longer the optimistic and dreamy student he was looking forward to.
She felt that what she had done had lost its meaning, and she felt that she had given up on this student in her heart.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I've let you down again. Mu Jingfan raised his head and said, he looked at the gloom in the eyes of the former teacher, although it was bitter, he already understood.
"Let's go here, if we go any further, there may be no road. Mu Jingfan said this and bowed deeply to Teacher Zhang.
"Alas~" Teacher Zhang let out a long sigh, and then could only watch Mu Jingfan turn around and leave without any nostalgia.
Less than two minutes after Mu Jingfan left, Zhao Yunfei ran over panting from a distance.
"Teacher, where's the Amazing Sail?" he said, gasping for air.
"He's gone. Teacher Zhang's tone was surprisingly flat, and she had chosen to come out of this shadow. Mu Jingfan was just a student for her who had made her look forward to it very much.
"Is it ... Looking at the teacher in front of him, Zhao Yunfei had already understood Mu Jingfan's choice.
"I'm sorry, I called you out today, I originally wanted you to persuade him too, but, forget it, you and him, it's better to keep a little distance, in the future, you will not be a person of the world, take this as the teacher's advice to you. ”
"Yes. Zhao Yunfei lowered his head and replied, so that Teacher Zhang could not see the disappointment in his eyes.
He wasn't disappointed in Mu Jingfan, he was just disappointed in the person in front of him, or rather, he was disappointed in the people around Mu Jingfan.
He had seen Mu Jingfan fall down again and again in the fight with the monster and then get up again and again, the blood flowing from the wounds on his body was bright and disgusting.
And these people will never know that the real heroes have fought and fought for them several times in places they can't see. These ignorant people will only judge what they see with a worldly eye, just as a mouse laughs at a lion that can't burrow.
He will not be as happy for their happiness as Mu Jingfan, in his philosophy, he has always been instilled with the idea of equivalent exchange by his own father.
He thought, since Mu Jingfan has paid so much, why can't he even get a little understanding from others?
"Is it such a group of people that Jingfan saved?" Zhao Yunfei asked in his heart.
"Teacher, then I'll go first, you go back and rest early. Zhao Yunfei raised his head, he had already hidden his eyes well, and then said to Teacher Zhang with a smile.
"Well, okay, in the future, I will always contact my classmates and teachers. ”
Seeing Teacher Zhang turn around, Zhao Yunfei's eyes turned cold again. Having grown up in a deceitful environment since he was a child, he regarded Mu Jingfan as the only and most important friend in his life.
And at this moment, these people have been labeled as inferior by him.
Mu Jingfan didn't know what happened later, and he didn't know that Zhao Yunfei still regarded him as a friend. He just saw the disappointment in Mr. Zhang's eyes, a thick disappointment, and this disappointment made him feel extremely worried.
He finally realized what kind of fate his father, mother, and Uncle Li and all the masters in this world were carrying. It was precisely because he understood the pain of this fate that Mu Tian would allow him to give up becoming a degreer.
The first article of the Mu family's family motto: "The so-called hero is a person who gives up his own dreams for the dreams of others." ”
Article 5 of the Mu family motto: "We are the shadow of the times, and we do not need to stand in front of the world." ”
Article 8 of the Mu family motto: "If you can't tolerate loneliness, you are not qualified to stand in front of the enemy, and you will die because of cowardice." ”
When he was a child, he didn't understand it, and when he grew up, he didn't understand it, and now, he finally understands.
got the power, he had to pay something of the same value, Mu Jingfan didn't realize it, his state of mind had grown completely unconsciously.
Back home, Mu Jingfan shook his head and shook off everything that had just happened. He took off his clothes and walked into the basement, since he had chosen this path, he had to keep walking.
The aura of his whole body burst out, and in the rapid entry into the body, the temperature of his body increased, and he entered the previous state again, his whole body was hot, and he completely abandoned the defensive attack mode.
On the wall was the intermediate defensive enchantment talisman he asked Li Tong for, and the enchantment formed by this talisman could completely resist the attack of the fifth order below the spirit mist level, so Mu Jingfan could rest assured that he could train in this basement.
Because Mu Tian had never taught Mu Jingfan how to train, Mu Jingfan could only rely on what he said in the book to explore step by step. So far, all the combat skills of the degree master have been explored by Mu Jingfan.
Looking at his reddened fists, Mu Jingfan carefully recalled the feeling at that moment.
Under the dual effect of high temperature and fist power, even the armor of the 'Yin Soul' after the Transformation of the Underworld could not block Mu Jingfan's attack, and the attack condensed at one point easily broke the defense of the 'Yin Soul'.
Just as cardboard can block a large area of light, but it can't block the light points that are gathered together by a magnifying glass.
He stared, his whole body tensed, and the next moment, all the power burst out.
'Molten Heart Cannon', the fist landed on the wall formed by the barrier, and a loud sound was made, but fortunately it was blocked by the barrier. At this time, the enchantment in front of Mu Jingfan's eyes was constantly trembling, and there was a crack the size of a fist on its surface.
