Chapter 180: Evil Spirit
"What did she say to you?" Mu Qingyu said nervously.
"There are no mountains and no tombs,
The river is exhausted,
winter thunder and earthquake,
summer rain and snow,
Heaven and earth are combined,
Dare to be with the king. β
After Qian Lingxue replied lightly, she sighed lightly and turned to leave, leaving Mu Qingyu alone still muttering to herself about the verses in "The Evil One".
In the next three days, Mu Qingyu chose to stay in the City Lord's Mansion to recuperate from his injuries, and on this day, his injuries had healed, and he could walk on the ground as usual, so he was invited by Liu Wentian to take him into his study.
An antique study, each of the four walls has two sets of landscape calligraphy and paintings, but in the center of the room there is an offering table, and in the middle is a picture scroll covered with a black cloth.
It is rare to see anyone worship any gods in the study, because the placement of this painting is extremely inconsistent with the decoration in the entire study, and Mu Qingyu can't help but care a little about the picture scroll covered by black cloth.
"What, are you interested in that painting?" Liu Wentian smiled indifferently.
Mu Qingyu shook his head with a wry smile, no matter how ugly that painting was, this was not his home after all, and of course he had no right to speak.
"Dad, Qingyu, why are you here?" At the bookshelf on the side, Liu Yan'er was leaning against the bookshelf, holding a blue book in her hand, obviously she had been in this study for a long time, and now she had just found these two people coming in.
Liu Wentian waved his hand with a smile and motioned for her to come over and said, "Since you are here, it is better, come over together." β
Liu Yan'er nodded, put the blue scroll in the original place of the bookshelf, and lowered her head and followed behind Liu Wentian.
This study room is very large, there are more than fifty bookshelves that are high for one person, and the collection of books will not be less than a thousand, except for this meteor city lord, no one else can enjoy such luxurious treatment.
He followed Liu Wentian to the innermost part of the study, where there was a brown solid wood chair, a square table, on which were placed some fruit bowls, and warm tea that had just been brewed by the subordinates.
Liu Wentian picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Mu Qingyu and said in a gentle voice: "Child, how old are you." β
Mu Qingyu was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Liu Wentian to ask this question, he frowned slightly, and his face did not show any dissatisfaction because of the identity of the other party, and said loudly: "16 years oldγγγγγ β
Liu Wentian nodded, gently put down the teacup and nodded: "Cardamom is in his prime, and he is still a heroic boy, so γγγγγγ β
Mu Qingyu didn't show much joy at the other party's praise, because he knew that Liu Wentian called himself here today, definitely not just to praise himself, because if it was really just like this, then Liu Wentian would be too boring.
"Lord Liu, I have praised you, how can I compare to your wisdom and martial arts?"
Liu Wentian pursed his lips, snorted coldly, and said as if there were some elders:
"It seems that over the years, you have learned a lot from Li Yao's bastard boy."
Mu Qingyu was not surprised, although he knew earlier that Liu Wentian seemed to know some things about his master, but he didn't expect that he could scold Li Yao like this, to know Li Yao's status in the Tianyuan Realm, but few people could talk to him like this.
This Liu Wentian is definitely not a mortal, thinking of this, Mu Qingyu's attitude was also a little respectful, and he deliberately showed a look of surprise and said:
"Oh, Lord Liucheng actually knows the masterγγγγγγ"
Liu Yan'er, who was standing on the side, heard the conversation between the two people, and looked at Mu Qingyu in shock, and said with a surprised face:
"What, your master is actually Li Yao, is it the god of thunder, Li Yao?"
Mu Qingyu nodded.
Liu Wentian chuckled and said: "That old boy, how is your health, do you still like to steal beautiful women to take a bath, and check the spring palace map at night." β
"Forehead γγγγγγγ"
Mu Qingyu smiled bitterly, this Liu Wentian even knew Li Yao's hobbies, so he must be an acquaintance or a friend with him.
Liu Yan'er is a girl after all, and when she heard what these two were talking about stealing and the Spring Palace Diagram or something, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she pretended not to hear anything.
"Master, he is in good health, but he has rarely walked around the rivers and lakes in the past two years, so his life is very comfortable now." Mu Qingyu said.
Liu Wentian showed a trace of sadness on his face:
"Thinking of the year, he was the craziest, but I didn't expect that among several of us, he was the first to retire, alas, the years are not forgiving, it seems that the era that belongs to us has passed."
"Dad, are you very familiar with Li Yao?" Liu Yan'er looked at him suspiciously.
Liu Wentian nodded: "Back then, we both belonged to the Sword Listening to the Rain Pavilion. Speaking of this, his gaze seemed to be a little drifting towards Mu Qingyu.
"Sword and Listen to the Rain Pavilion?" Mu Qingyu's heart shook wildly, because he knew that his parents had worked there back then, and since Liu Wentian knew Li Yao, he must know his parents.
As if he saw Mu Qingyu's thoughts, Liu Wentian continued: "Mu Qingyu, I remember the last time I met you, you once said that you were raised by Li Yao since childhood, right?" β
"Could it be that this Liu Wentian knows his identity? No, I can't identify myself yet, because I don't know if Liu Wentian is really trustworthy? Mu Qingyu said secretly.
"Yes, I have been an orphan since I was a child, and if it weren't for my master, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Orphans?" Liu Wentian chuckled lightly, and said in a slightly cold tone:
"But I don't think you're an orphan, although you do things with a little bit of Li Yao's ruffianism, but I can see from your gestures that you are a person who understands aristocratic etiquette, right? Li Yao won't teach you these things! β
"Huh?" Mu Qingyu swallowed his saliva, and this time he didn't know how to answer, so he wanted to prevaricate:
"The city lord said that I was born poor, so I was determined to grow up to get ahead, the etiquette of those nobles, it's just that I look at it and have fun to learn, and I have no intention of learning it, it's really a good example, so you can laugh."
"Laughing? Hehe, before that, how do you explain the etiquette to the men and women of Muwangfu that the Seventh Princess did? Don't say that's what you learned by playing. β
Liu asked Tiandao.
"This, he even knows the etiquette of Mu Wangfu." Mu Qingyu really had nothing to say this time, he clenched his fists, his eyes swept coldly to Liu Yan'er's body, and he moved with murderous intent.
The strength of himself thinks that he is not as good as Liu Wentian, but in such a short distance, kidnapping Liu Yan'er to threaten him is a feasible move, although it is a bit despicable to do so, but to live for himself, then it is not so much.
Liu Wentian naturally saw Mu Qingyu's thoughts, but he didn't stop and continued:
"Don't be afraid, I'm not from the dynasty, you're the grandson of Mu Rulie, the patriarch of Muwangfu, right? Juvenile. β
"People from King Mu's Mansion?" Liu Yan'er looked at Mu Qingyu in surprise, she had already thought of something, she had been accused of marriage since she was a child, although she didn't know who the person she wanted to marry, but she knew one thing, the person he wanted to marry was someone from Mu Wangfu, could that person be Mu Qingyu?
Thinking of this, Liu Yan'er's cheeks also floated with two crimson clouds.
"Youγγγγγ What purpose do you have. Mu Qingyu bit her lip, knowing that her identity had been leaked, and her strength was not able to fight against the man in front of her at all, so the best way now was to stay still and see what kind of medicine was being sold in the other party's gourd.
"Do you want to know? Then come with me. Liu Wentian sighed lightly, and walked lightly to the place where the black cloth scroll came before.
"Yan'er, you go and uncover that black cloth." Liu Wentian said softly.
"Yes, Daddy." Liu Yan'er nodded, stepped forward and bowed to the scroll, then grabbed the corner of the scroll and pulled it.
A waxy yellow painting of a man and a woman dancing a sword on a mountain stream was presented in front of Mu Qingyu.
"This is γγγγγγγγγ" Mu Qingyu stepped forward and looked at the picture carefully, because he found that the man's face was somewhat similar to his own.
"That person is your father, Mu Zhange." Liu Wentian's tone was a little excited, and he looked at the woman again and continued: "And that woman is your mother, Chenxi. β
"Father, mother, the child has come to see you." Mu Qingyu whimpered in a tone, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the scroll.
Liu Wentian took a deep breath, and said with tears flashing in his eyes: "Yan'er, these two are your elders, you should kowtow to them too." β
Liu Yan'er snorted softly, knelt next to Mu Qingyu, and buckled her head at the men and women in the scroll.
Liu Wentian smiled with relief, and then said loudly:
"Zhan Ge, Xi'er, I finally found your child, I won't let him be alone in the future, I will take good care of him on your behalf, don't worry, and he now has the ability to gain a foothold in the Tianyuan Realm, you can close your eyes."
When he saw this picture, Mu Qingyu no longer had any doubts about Liu Wentian, the painting was originally a blank paper, but now it has turned waxy yellow, it is due to the result of being burned incense, it can be seen that there will be people here every day to worship, it seems that this Liu Wentian must be a good friend of his parents.
"Thank you seniors, the right talent Qingyu is rude, and I am here to make amends to you." Mu Qingyu lowered his head and buckled his head at Liu Wentian.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Liu Wentian helped Mu Qingyu up with a smile, hugged him in his arms, and said with tears in his eyes:
"Child, you have suffered all these years, don't worry, this is already your home, and Liu Yan'er and I are your relatives."
