170 Things that are forgotten, those who are gone
"But didn't you just say last night that your mother died the year after you were born, and your father was locked up again, so who did you listen to about these secret stories of your parents?"
Shen Feng immediately caught the loophole in Mu Qingdi's words.
Hearing this, Mu Qingdi turned his face lightly and looked at Shen Feng with some resentment:
"I said, you have to beware of me in every word, and you have to think about the truth, so that you won't be tired of living?"
Shen Feng was silent in an instant, in fact, Mu Qingdi's words were not finished, he immediately interrupted, in fact, it was because he still had a deep guard against Mu Qingdi in his heart.
"Okay, sorry, you go on."
Shen Feng spoke, and then cast his gaze into the distance, looking at the rows of fishing boats that were constantly coming.
"Actually, you don't need to be so protective of me, after all, if I marry you, I really get married. Whatever the purpose, this is an indisputable fact, so even if I don't like you, at least I won't hurt you again. ”
Mu Qingdi suddenly raised his hand holding Shen Feng, looked at Shen Feng with both eyes, and said seriously,
"Besides, I have to find a way to keep you alive, because doctrinally speaking, if the Moon Angel dies, the Moon Angel Lady can't live alone, do you understand?"
Shen Feng was stunned.
I see
There is actually such a rule in the Moon Sect!
"I see."
Shen Feng nodded, and then subconsciously began to think about why he was about to see the moon god, and Mu Qingdi told him this.
"Sorry for interrupting you earlier, please continue."
"When my parents met, my father had been practicing for more than 1,800 years."
Mu Qingdi looked back at the direction of his new house, and then said with some melancholy,
"After the success of the baby, the lifespan of the Yuanying monk was about 2,000 years, and in the last two hundred years, in order to seek a breakthrough, my father sealed his cultivation and wandered around Cangyue Island."
"To transform into a god, first into a mortal, only by traveling through life, producing their own perceptions, can they transcend the primordial infant, comprehend the artistic conception, and then officially enter the period of transformation of the gods. When my father first met my mother, he had been wandering in the mortal world for twenty years, and he looked poor and sloppy, looking like a vagabond in his forties and fifties. ”
"His cultivation had sealed himself twenty years ago, and when he got to where we are now, he hadn't eaten for several days and nights, and the sun on the beach was scorching, so he was so hungry and thirsty that he fainted directly in front of his mother."
"And then your mother took him in?"
Shen Feng was surprised, how could this plot be so routine.
"Hmm!"
Mu Qingdi nodded.
"My mother, who was in her twenties at the time, lived alone by the sea, and after saving my father, she asked him if he would like to stay and help."
"And your father said yes right away?"
Shen Feng seemed to have guessed the end of the story.
"Nope."
Mu Qingdi turned sideways, and suddenly glanced at Shen Feng,
"My father said at the time that he was grateful to his mother for saving her life, and in return, he could stay and help her catch fish for a month, and then he would continue to wander around the world."
"After my mother agreed, I found out that my father didn't know how to fish, and even he basically didn't know most of the common sense of life of mortals."
"This ...... Didn't your father live for more than 1,800 years, all in vain? ”
Shen Feng asked puzzled.
"He was born at the Moon God Altar when he was a child, he started cultivating since he was a child, and he grew up with an aura, how can he have time to learn how to fish?"
Mu Qingdi opened his mouth lightly.
"And the first twenty years of wandering, that is also completely begging for a living, where is the opportunity to learn that?"
"But even so, my mother didn't have any intention of disliking my father, she still had three meals a day, and then patiently taught him to fish."
"After three days, my father finally learned the skills of fishing and rowing, and immediately began to try to go to sea, hoping to catch more prey and return to repay my mother."
However, an accident happened, and during that time, the Kraken was very active, which caused a lot of changes in the originally marked fishing grounds, and my father found nothing for several days.
"My mother saw all these things, but she still didn't say anything, she didn't blame her father, and under the premise of food shortage, she still cooked every day and waited for her father to come back."
"Then another week passed, and the family had all the food they had stockpiled, and my father still hadn't caught a single fish."
"This doesn't make sense, no matter what, the sea is so big, you can catch a fish if you catch it indiscriminately?"
When Shen Feng heard this, he said with some curiosity.
"No, at that time, the kraken was rampant, and almost all the fish in the sea were eaten by the kraken, and ordinary fishermen couldn't catch fish at all."
Mu Qingdi shook his head,
"And during that time, some of the nearby fishermen dared to go out fishing."
"But on the day when the food was about to run out, before my father went out to sea in the morning, he promised his mother that he would definitely catch fish today."
"I remember that day was very windy, and at noon there was a sudden storm on the sea, and my mother cooked early, used up all the food in the house, made the last meal, and stood in the harbor waiting for my father to return."
"According to my mother's later recollections, when my father came back that day, the whole fishing boat was full of holes, and there were all kinds of traces of being gnawed by krakens and sea monsters on the side of the boat, and the whole boat was ruined, but my father's body was intact, not even his clothes were wet, and the cabin was stuffed with a large number of the most expensive fish on the market."
"The varieties of those fish are extremely rare, and some of them are even technically small krakens, and if you sell them, you can buy another hundred fishing boats with the silver you get back."
"The next day, my father didn't know where to find someone to pull away the boatload of fish and exchange it for a large amount of silver, and when my mother saw the silver, she was very excited, and said to her father on the spot, "Old fellow, if you are twenty years younger, I will marry you."
"At that time, my father nodded in agreement, okay."
This seems to be a joke, but it has subtly changed the relationship between the two.
"From that day on, my father began to clean up his appearance, wash his face, brush his teeth, shave, and use the money from selling fish to buy a clean set of clothes, and his hair inexplicably turned black, just like a little old man in his fifties suddenly became a middle-aged man in his forties."
He did not mention leaving again, but built a wooden shed outside the room, and lived there for a long time, while still doing his duty every day, until three months later, when the last transfer was gone, and his father decided to go out to sea again to fish.
"But at that time, when the Kraken was at its most rampant, my mother was worried about my father's safety, so she decided to go to sea with my father."
"The two of them chose a calm day, and they sailed on the sea for a long time without seeing the shadow of a fish, until when the boat was a hundred kilometers away, beyond the territory of Cangyue Island, my mother finally saw a large number of fresh fish outside the light curtain."
"She saw her father use bait to bring those fish out of the formation, and then catch them, and then she was stunned."
"The two worked together methodically, and then it was another great harvest."
"I thought it was the first fish your father caught when he exposed his cultivation in advance."
When Shen Feng heard this, he suddenly interjected.
"Nope."
Mu Qingdi nodded,
"Before that day, my father should have never used cultivation."
"Before that day?"
"That's right, when the two of them came back that day, the weather suddenly changed, and the Kraken came again, and it was the most violent attack of the Kraken Beast Tide, and they happened to be bumped into by their father and mother, and they had no choice but to dock the boat in the center of the Beast Tide, a nameless island."
"The food and fresh water on the island are very limited, and my mother knew that she couldn't go back, so she hugged my father tightly, crying and saying to him, old thing, I would have married you if I knew it, if I can go back alive, I will definitely marry you!"
"That night, my father and my mother got along."
"Early the next morning, a kraken more than 100 meters high came to the edge of the island, and the monstrous waves directly swallowed the entire island, and when the mother woke up again, she found herself in bed at home."
"The people from the Moon Sect came to my mother and said that it was the Moon God who appeared to save her, but my father did not save her."
"My mother didn't believe me, so she went out to sea again in her own boat, and drifted in the deep sea for a day and a night, but she didn't even see her father's shadow, and when the fresh water ran out, she had to return."
"Then I was conceived in October, and then a year after my mother gave birth to me, when I went to sea again, I died in the tide of Kraken beasts."
Speaking of this, Mu Qingdi seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, looked in the direction of Fengshou Port, and was stunned.
"And what about your father, didn't he show up since?"
"I have appeared, but I have only seen it once, after my mother was devoured by the Kraken, my father immediately led all his monk troops to the sea to fight against the Kraken, and as a result, all the troops were wiped out except for my father, but he snatched back a wisp of my mother's remnant soul from the Kraken's sea of consciousness and sealed it in this conch."
"My mother's remnant soul could not hear me, but she could make a voice on her own, and for countless days and nights, when I couldn't sleep, I would lie in bed, holding a conch, and listen to my mother tell her story of her and my father over and over again."
Saying this, Mu Qingdi suddenly cried, and then she raised a palm-sized conch in her hand and put it to her ear.
"You see, as soon as I shake this conch slightly, my mother will start talking."
"I've only seen my father once in my life, when I was a year old, and he hung this string of conch around my neck."
"Your father...... Maybe it's his trouble, you joined the Moon Sect later, and you haven't seen your father yet? ”
After listening to Mu Qingdi's story, Shen Feng couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
"I haven't seen it, when I became the protector of the Moon Sect, I knew that I was only imprisoned to say to the outside world, in fact, my father disappeared the day he hung the conch necklace on me."
"On the day I got married, the first thing I did after condensing my thoughts was to go back to my soul mark, check my memories when I was a child, and repeatedly confirm my father's appearance, but I still haven't found such a person in the Moon Sect."
After Mu Qingdi finished saying this, he waved his hand, and the phantom of a middle-aged man with starry eyebrows and swords appeared in the air.
"The only thing that is certain now is that there are three moles under his right ear side by side."
"I've never seen this person either."
Looking at the phantom in front of him, Shen Feng also shook his head,
"You've seen everyone in the Moon Sect, but you still haven't found your father?"
"I didn't find it, now I know all the people in the Moon Sect, but I still haven't found any trace of my father, he was still the deputy head of the Moon Sect twenty-five years ago, and he claimed to be imprisoned for making mistakes, but the real situation is that his whole person disappeared inexplicably, and all the relevant materials and classics related to him were erased after that incident, and there is no way to verify."
Mu Qingdi said.
