The moonlight is like water, and the people are as light as shadows.

The dense bamboo forest, the verdant bamboo leaves rustle in the night wind, accompanied by the sound of bursts of sword qi cutting through the air, floating in the secluded bamboo forest.

Mu Shi walked in it, the bright moonlight was scattered through the bamboo forest, a trace of wind elements hovered under his feet, and his steps were elegant and quiet. The sound of the sword is getting closer and closer, as if singing a lamentation.

Mu Shi pursed his lips, reached out to catch a bamboo leaf that fell down, and recalled the gossip that he had no intention of talking about when chatting with Mu Ziqing.

"The head of the family has actually slept in a separate room with his wife for a long time, and every night he will go to the bamboo forest in the back mountain to dance the sword. I heard that the head of the family has extremely high swordsmanship and has obtained sword intent. Ordinary martial artists will benefit a lot from watching it last time. ”

"I heard that the bamboo forest was planted by the lady herself, and the head of the family has never let go of the original lady who died young."

"Maybe that's why the current lady hates you so much."

"It was Mrs. Lin Yue who married the head of the family back then, but when the head of the family returned from training, she brought back your mother, and the most amazing thing was that the head of the family and the elders at that time agreed. The Lin family is not easy to behave on their side, and in the end, both sides took a step back, and Mrs. Lin Yue's talent is not good and she doesn't like to cultivate, so the Lin family agreed to marry in as a side room, which is a secret that everyone knows. ”

"It's just that for some reason, after the original wife died in childbirth, the Mu family did not put the name of the lady in the genealogy......."

"Mother....... What kind of existence is it? Mu Shi squinted his eyes and muttered to himself, trying to find the blood-connected figure from his memory, but where did the newborn baby get the memory?

Mu Shi pressed his heart, and there was a slight sourness and pain there, which was the residual emotional touch of the original body, and it was also the influence of the contract reached between the two. Yes, for the original Mu Shi to get ahead, let those who have bullied her shut up, and let all the grievances she suffers be repaid, which naturally includes justifying her mother's name.

The chilling sound of the sword was heard clearly in Mu Shi's unconscious steps, Mu Shi stopped and looked at the open space in the middle of the bamboo forest, there was a jade platform placed in a corner, it seemed that there was once a piano and other elegant things.

The middle-aged man with a cold face was dressed in black, holding a simple and inconspicuous wooden sword, dancing and flowing between the clouds, and a faint slaughter spread in his cold eyes.

"What a strong sword intent." Mu Shi couldn't help but marvel in his heart, even if he looked at each other from afar, he was also swept away by this awe-inspiring sword intent, Mu Jiangbei was worthy of being a martial artist, and he was able to be supernatural with a wooden sword.

"My body is the sword, and the sword is my body. The martial artist enters the Tao with martial arts, and after Dacheng, he splits the mountains and splits the sea, and the attack power is no different from that of the magician. Beiye's voice sounded faintly, with a touch of appreciation, as if he admired Mu Jiangbei's strength.

"Then I won't be able to take advantage of the high-level martial arts master?" Mu Shi grasped the key point.

"It's about strength, don't always think about taking advantage." The North Night contains warning teachings, and at this moment there is really a strict teacher.

"Yes." Mu Shi responded and continued to watch Mu Jiangbei sword dance. No matter what, the blood of the mercenary queen in her bones still made her more interested in this kind of fist-punching attack, and her blood boiled even more.

Mu Jiangbei's sword is like flowing water, and between actions, the whole person seems to turn into a wisp of water, surrounding the bamboo leaves fluttering around him, bringing up an emerald green whirlwind. Such Mu Jiangbei has retreated from that old-fashioned appearance, high-spirited and high-spirited.

Mu Shi seemed to see the soft starlight in the sky, the young Mu Jiangbei was dancing his long sword in the sound of the piano, and the jade platform on the side should be a gentle woman sitting.

"Hula-" The wooden sword let out a clear roar, and suddenly the bamboo leaves scattered one after another, revealing the man holding the sword, he gasped slightly, his face was calm and unwavering, and his cold and hard voice was as good as ever, "Have you seen enough?" ”

Mu Shi was clever, and he had a feeling of peeking at being discovered, so he touched his face and nodded.

"Come here when you've seen enough!" Mu Jiangbei frowned unhappily and reprimanded, "Don't you salute when you see me?" ”

"Old old-fashioned .....," Mu Shi muttered, and slowly walked into the forest to make a junior salute, "See the head of the family." ”

"You should call me father." Mu Jiangbei tightened his eyebrows, very dissatisfied with Mu Shi's title. Mu Shi straightened up after saluting, looked at Mu Jiangbei quietly, and said calmly, "Have you fulfilled your father's responsibilities?" ”

"You?!" Mu Jiangbei was angry, and he was about to hit Mu Shi when he raised his hand, but Mu Shi simply closed his eyes, and said in his heart, I don't believe your hand.

Sure enough, Mu Jiangbei's hand stopped in the air, trembled slightly, clenched his fists and forced himself to take it back, and changed the wooden sword to one hand and sat on the jade platform sulking.

Mu Shi opened his eyes and looked at Mu Jiangbei, thinking about how to make Mu Jiangbei not doubt his own introduction.

A gust of wind blew, and Mu Jiangbei took the lead in breaking the silence and said in a muffled voice, "Say, you usually don't look at me, but now you are looking for me for something." ”

It's pretty self-aware. Mu Shi laughed in his heart, walked up to Mu Jiangbei, thought about it, and said softly, "I want to know, why don't you let your mother enter the genealogy?" ”

Mu Jiangbei raised his head suddenly, and the majesty came to his face in an instant, "Who told you that?" ”

"Is this a secret?" Mu Shi didn't shy away from it, and sneered, "Oh no, it should be a secret that the whole manor knows." ”

"What if you don't choke me?" Mu Jiangbei's forehead was bruised, but when he saw this face that looked like his deceased wife, most of his anger went down. After being entangled like this, his liver hurt, and his straight waist stiffened with a sigh, as if he was ten years old in an instant.

"You should know that you're from the Rishi clan, right?" The first sentence after the silence made Mu Shi a little surprised. After being silent for a while, he immediately understood that since his mother was from the Ritsushi clan, it was normal for her husband to know, so he said "um" softly.

"Have you seen any of the other Rishi people?" Mu Jiang raised his head, his eyes flashed with a compelling light and stared at Mu Shi tightly, under this kind of vision, Mu Shi felt like he had nowhere to hide, and nodded stiffly, "Yes." I saw you in the border city. ”

"Sure enough, otherwise, how could you have returned to normal like a miracle and awakened the power of the elements." Mu Jiangbei's eyes softened, and the compelling sharpness disappeared, which made Mu Shi breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, in the face of the venerable powerhouse, it was still too reluctant. However, the other party seems to think that his change is the credit of the Ritsushi clan.

In this regard, Mu Shi did not intend to refute it, after all, Beiye's identity is too sensitive, and it is better to follow other people's ideas than to explain it hard.

"Did they tell you their name?" Mu Jiangbei reached out and grabbed Mu Shi's arm and pulled it in front of him, carefully looking at Mu Shi's face. Her eyes and mouth are very similar to hers, but her nose is more like herself, and her face is the same as her goose egg face, which is well-behaved and elegant. It's a pity that as a man, it's a little too white.

Mu Shi was looked at unnaturally like this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and Mu Jiangbei's hand was pulled away, and said coldly, "Yes, she said that her name is Aunt Xue." Also, I don't like people touching me. ”

"Aunt Xue? Sure enough, it was her. Mu Jiangbei didn't seem to hear the words behind, and was stunned and thoughtful.

"You know her, too?" Seeing this, Mu Shi asked rhetorically.

"Fourteen years ago, shortly after your mother's death, she approached me and asked to bring your mother's bones back to the clan for burial." Mu Jiangbei said that a touch of pain flashed in his eyes, "I failed to protect her, so what qualifications do I have to refuse." ”

"So that's why the mother didn't have a genealogy?" Mu Shi's association ability is also strong, and he asked.

"That's one of the reasons." Mu Jiangbei lowered his head and stroked Yutai, his tone was full of helplessness and remorse, "The legend of the Lushi clan has been circulating in the upper echelons. When I took your mother home and insisted on marrying her, I told them who your mother was because the head of the family, your grandfather, and the presbyterian council agreed. ”

Mu Shi was silent, she could imagine how difficult it was to marry a woman of unknown origin under the pressure of the whole clan.

"However, this is also a fatal disaster." Mu Jiangbei raised his eyes to look at his son and his deceased wife, his eyes were a little out of focus, and it seemed that through Mu Shi, he saw that gentle shadow again.

"Why do you say that?" Mu Shi was a little puzzled, the Lu Shi clan is not a demon clan, will it attract hunting?

"You're thinking wrong." Mu Jiangbei seemed to see Mu Shi's thoughts, shook his head and patted Mu Shi's shoulder, "Originally, I wanted to tell you later, but today the royal family came to inform you to participate in the knighthood ceremony tomorrow, you have done a good job, and you are already qualified to know all this." ”

Mu Shi pursed his lips, why is this person so old-fashioned. However, she almost forgot that there was such a thing, and the spirit pool that made Si Lidu greedy, I don't know when she can go, what is the royal family delaying? It's been half a month since this trial day, and if it doesn't take place, it won't be able to catch up with the enrollment meeting of Yunchuang Academy.

Mu Jiangbei stood up, walked to a bamboo, gently stroked the emerald green bamboo body, and his cold and hard tone was dyed with anger, "Legend has it that the Lvshi clan is the darling of heaven and earth, and they are born to communicate the energy of heaven and earth, and affinity with all elements. With such a bloodline, who is not impressed? Who doesn't want it?! ”

Mu Shi's heart moved, and he blurted out, "Mother was discovered by someone else." ”

"Not bad!" Mu Jiangbei's fingers were inserted into the bamboo body, and his eyes were filled with murderous aura, "I didn't expect that so many spies had entered my Mu family, and even the royal family knew about this overnight, forcing me to hand over your mother." ”

"Robbing people? It's really the style of the royal family. Mu Shi thought of Yun Chuyi's approach to her, and couldn't help but sneer.

"I naturally disagreed, and the family was unwilling to give up, so I reluctantly accepted the marriage of the Lin family, and promised that if I had a daughter in the future, I would marry into the Lin family first." Mu Jiangbei closed his eyes, until now, he could still remember the unwillingness.

Mu Shi was a little dumbfounded, fortunately her mother had sealed herself, otherwise she would have been sent to the Lin family even if she was a fool. Speaking of which, these people are really hateful, they are so greedy when they know half of it, if they know that the descendants of the legal time clan and the human race are likely to be idiots, I am afraid they will not be so aggressive.
