Dongyue Taishan is the first of the five mountains in the Central Plains.

The terrain of Mount Tai is high. The four seasons at the foot of the mountain are distinct, and the three seasons on the top of the mountain are like spring, and the winter is like jade. On the occasion of summer and autumn, the clouds and rain change, the peaks are like daisies, the forests are lush and the springs are flying, the weather is thousands, the mountain springs are dense, and the rivers and streams are vertical and horizontal.

Being at the top of Mount Tai, it is like a god coming to earth, dreaming of a fairyland.

It is winter now, and the rime and rain cover the whole mountain, like putting a veil on the majestic and mysterious Mount Tai, which makes people yearn for it infinitely.

The Taishan faction is on top of this Taishan.

There is a mountain rock at the bottom of the mountain, and the mountain stone is written "Taishan faction", and behind the mountain stone is the long mountain road.

The mountain road is long and winding, and if you want to go up the mountain, you must have a strong will and a relentless spirit.

Now there are very few people on this mountain road, and even few tourists. Because it is winter, although you can see the spectacle of rime and rain, there are still few people who come to climb the mountain when the weather is cold.

But now, there is a man walking slowly on the long mountain road.

The man was dressed in brown with a scarf tied around his neck and his face covered with a cloth.

He walked very slowly, one step at a time, and with each step, his body would unconsciously tremble.

It's so cold here, and the way up the hill is only getting colder.

But the strange thing is that his whole body is tightly wrapped, but his hands are exposed.

It's not that he doesn't want to tuck his hands into his sleeves, but he can't.

He was holding a wooden box in his hand. He carried two swords at his waist, one on the left and one on the right.

He just walked quietly, unhurriedly. He didn't ride a horse, and it was too dangerous to ride a horse on a mountain road, especially in winter.

Finally, when he stepped up the last staircase, a palace appeared in front of him. It was the palace of the Tarzan faction.

The man pulled the cloth off his face and let out a long breath with a smile on his face.

This face, although not handsome, is also delicate and white. It's just that a beard has grown next to his mouth, and a pair of big eyes always show indifference.

Isn't this person Muchen or who?

He didn't die at Sunset Villa, but also at Tarzan. How did he come to life? Why did he come to Tarzan?

When the disciples of the Taishan sect guarding the mountain gate on Mount Tai saw him, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who your Excellency is, and what are you doing here?"

Mu Chen smiled, "My name is Mu Chen, I want to meet your master, is he there?"

Taishan's disciple said, "The head is here"

Mu Chen said, "Okay, you just said that Mu Chen came to send something to Master Su."

Taishan's disciple said, "Okay, please come with me"

Mu Chen followed him through the palace to a room behind the palace.

Taishan's disciple said, "This is the master's study, please wait for me to report"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you"

The disciple of Taishan walked to the door, knocked on the door, and said respectfully, "Master, someone asks to see you"

Sure enough, Su Tianlan's voice came from inside the door, "Who?"

Taishan's disciple said, "He said his name is Mu Chen, and this time he came to send something to the master."

Then, I heard hurried footsteps in the room.

The door was opened, and Su Tianlan walked out of it.

He said to the Taishan disciple, "You go down."

The Taishan disciple replied and retreated.

Su Tianlan said, "Brother Mu, what's the matter with coming to Mount Tai?"

Mu Chen said, "I'm going to send you something"

The room was warm and there were two braziers next to a table.

Mu Chen's frozen hand gradually regained consciousness, and his face became ruddy.

Mu Chen said, "This thing was given to you by Senior Su."

As he spoke, he placed the wooden box in his hand on the table.

The wooden box is seven inches wide and three feet long, and it is made of rosewood.

Mu Chen pushed Mu Chen to Su Tianlan.

Su Tianlan opened the wooden box, his face changed, and he reached out to take out the contents of the wooden box, which turned out to be a sword.

Su Tianlan said, "This is ......"

Mu Chen said, "This is the sword of Su senior, called Bai Shou"

Su Tianlan said, "White head ......"

Mu Chen said, "This is made by Senior Su for her wife"

Su Tianlan said: "It seems that this sword must have been injected into my uncle's life's work."

Muchen said, "Now it's yours"

Su Tianlan said, "This is what your uncle asked you to bring?"

Mu Chen: "Yes"

Su Tianlan said, "Why didn't he come by himself......?"

Su Tianlan didn't continue to ask, he wanted to know the result, and he was afraid to know the result.

Now it was Mu Chen who gave him the sword, but it was not Su Qianye, do you still need to ask about the result of their duel?

Mu Chen smiled, "I have already delivered the sword, and now I am also leaving"

Saying that, he stood up and was about to leave, when Su Tianlan suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute"

Mu Chendao: "Anything else?"

Su Tianlan asked, "Can you tell me, what kind of person is my uncle?"

Mu Chen didn't seem to expect him to ask like this, and he was a little sluggish.

Su Tianlan smiled bitterly, "Since I was a child, I was arranged by my father to go to my uncle's house to learn swords, and my uncle was also my role model since I was a child. Because I always thought that he was the most upright and greatest man in the world, even my father could not compare. ”

Mu Chen smiled and said, "I know"

Su Tianlan said, "But I always feel that he has something to hide from me, and even my heart begins to doubt him, he may not be the gentleman I imagined." He suddenly stared at Mu Chen, and said word for word, "So, can you tell me, uncle, he...... Who the hell is it?"

How should Mu Chen tell him? Tell him that his uncle was from Xiangtian Sect, had helped Lin Xiangtian, and had wanted to kill himself?

Mu Chen was silent for a long time, and finally he smiled, took a deep breath, smiled and said slowly, "He's just an old man, an old man who loves swords very much, and at the same time, he loves you very much."

Su Tianlan's eyes were already full of tears, but the tears did not stay, but said quietly, "I heard that Sunset Mountain Villa was burned by fire, is it that my uncle has already ......?"

Mu Chen smiled, "He just went to live a life that he always longed for"

Su Tianlan nodded and stopped talking. Slowly, his head drooped, and his tears finally remained.

Mu Chen turned to leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned sideways and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something"

Su Tianlan raised his head and waited for Mu Chen to continue.

Mu Chen smiled and said lightly, "That competition, I lost"

Su Tianlan was stunned, he suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart after hearing this. He didn't know if Mu Chen was lying to him, but he chose to believe the result.

Because, that is the uncle he admires the most.

Mu Chen had already left, and within a day, he was already very tired from going up and down the mountain.

So as soon as he got off the mountain, he found an inn, had a good meal, bought another horse, and hurried to Qige Villa.

He had not gone far when he came to a wooded field and suddenly stopped.

The trees in the woods have long since withered, and there is only snow on the branches.

Mu Chen coughed lightly twice, and then saw two people walking out from behind a tree.

It's Ouyang Meng and Ximen Ci. They didn't even die.

Ximen said, "Brother Mu, the things have been handed over to the young master?"

Mu Chen nodded and said, "I think he will already miss Senior Su."

Ouyang Meng said, "Fortunately, Xiang Tianzong killed three people that night, so we were able to throw the bodies of those three people into the fire to impersonate us, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape."

Mu Chen said, "Who would have thought that what they thought was the safest way would help us"

Ouyang Meng said, "But why didn't Uncle Su come to Mount Tai in person?"

Mu Chen suddenly remembered what Su Qianye had said to him.

"This sword, please help me hand it over to Tianlan. Just tell him I'm dead. ”

"Why?"

"I suddenly realized that I had done nothing in my life except sword training. In the end, there was nothing left but these swords. I just want to do what I want to do now and never touch a sword again for the rest of my life. ”

"But are you willing?"

"If you are willing to do anything in this world, you will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to yourself. I've decided to retire and farm, play chess, drink tea, and make some friends. I've already died once, and that time for the sake of the sword, and I die without regrets. This time I want to live for my heart. ”

"But you should also take the sword, that is your love for your wife"

"My wife likes Tianlan very much, give it to Tianlan, that sword can find the meaning that really belongs to it, as for my wife, my trust in her is not limited to that sword, I live for my heart, and she has always been in my heart"

This is what Su Qianye said to Mu Chen before leaving, and Mu Chen couldn't help but shed tears every time he remembered the relieved smile on Su Qianye's face when he said this.

Mu Chen slowly said to Ouyang Meng, "He just went to live a life that he has always longed for."

Ouyang Meng stopped talking, she understood, because she also wanted to live that kind of life.

Mu Chen looked at her and asked, "What about you? You have now come back from the dead, where are you going?"

Ouyang Meng took Ximen Ci's arm and said with a smile, "We plan to build a thatched hut under Mount Tai to raise livestock, and we can plant some rice in the spring of next year" She smiled really happily, as if she had found a place to belong in life.

Mu Chen said, "If you really want to live the life of a man ploughing and a woman weaving, why don't you stay away from here?" Mount Tai is a prosperous land, and many people come every year, are you not afraid that Xiang Tianzong will find you?"

Ximen Ci smiled and said, "Those corpses have become white bones, and they can't see it to Tianzong, even if they realize it later, they would never have imagined that we would be in Mount Tai."

Sometimes a more dangerous place is safer.

Small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city. That's it.

Ximen Ci continued, "What's more, after all, Master Su is the young master of Sunset Villa, although the owner of the village has given us a lot of money, but we don't plan to use it, we have to live on our own." ”

Mu Chen said, "What about the money?"

Simon said, "I will keep it, if something happens to Tarzan, I will definitely help with all my might"

Mu Chen suddenly felt that Ximen Ci was an admirable man.

Mu Chen has always believed that there are only three types of men to be admired.

Be responsible for women, be righteous for friends, and be loyal to the king.

So he admired Simon Ci.

Mu Chen said lightly, "Okay, you can go"

Ximen Ci and Ouyang Mengzuo left.

Mu Chen suddenly shouted "Wait"

The two turned around and said in unison, "What's the matter?"

Mu Chen said, "Don't tell me about the results of that night's competition."

Ximen Ci and Ouyang Meng looked at each other, looked at Mu Chen together, and said "Hmm" in unison

With that, the two of them walked away.

Mu Chen knew that there would be no chance to see each other again, so he looked at the backs of the two of them.

After saluting, Mu Chen turned around and got on his horse, and the horse's hooves stepped on the snow and gradually moved away.

Only a pair of footprints and a row of horseshoe prints were left on the snow.
