Chapter 21: What is a Shadow?
Mu Chen saw the scene in front of him, but the woman, however, the woman was wearing a mask, he couldn't see her face clearly at all, this woman's cultivation was the Great Perfection of the Star Vein Realm, but he could sense that even the junior Star Yuan Realm martial artist was not his opponent, and the woman dodged to the remnant rainbow after killing the extension and quicksand.
When the Blood Demon saw the comer, he immediately had the intention of escaping.
However, how could the woman with the mask on her face let her go, a long whip suddenly came out of her hand, and with the whistling wind, it directly cut off the head of the blood demon's neck, and then disappeared in place with the remnant rainbow in an instant.
Mu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked straight at the back of the woman and the remnant rainbow leaving.
"Shadow, what the hell is a shadow?" Mu Chen muttered in a low voice.
He had heard the word "shadow" from the man who rescued him, but he didn't know what it meant, and who was the masked woman who came to save him? Why did he have a sense of déjà vu? However, he knew that he was not qualified to know these things with his current strength, but he had a hunch that he should meet these two men soon.
The task in Luo Yuelin had been completed, and Mu Chen immediately got up and prepared to return to Qingyun City.
On the way back, he passed by a stream, and he was ready to change the clothes on his body, but he never thought that he saw a twenty-centimeter-long, reddish-purple, winged mayfly lying in the water, looking dying.
Thinking of this, he immediately condensed the star qi in his palm, gave the mayfly a sigh of relief, and then put it in the storage bag, changed his clothes, and immediately left here.
It was already evening when I returned to King Mu's mansion, and the Evergreen Hall was still in a depressed state.
However, when he pushed open the door, he saw a very beautiful girl standing there with her back to him, the girl was tall, her black hair was like lacquer, her skin was like jade, and her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, as if the spiritual rhyme was overflowing, she was like a budding lotus flower, beautiful but not glamorous, delicate but not vulgar, pure and beautiful, incomparable, this girl was Concubine Shu's righteous daughter Ye Xi'er.
As if sensing Mu Chen's arrival, Ye Xi'er turned around abruptly.
Her eyes were still cold, and the coldness seemed to be a little unkind.
"King Wu has returned and summoned you to the Great River Hall to discuss matters. Ye Xi'er said lightly.
Mu Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the Martial King to come back.
"Okay, I got it. ”
"King Wu is very angry about Concubine Shu, but after all, you caused the trouble, if you can take the initiative to admit your mistake, I think King Wu should remember the relationship between father and son and let you go. Ye Xi'er said again, but Mu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, if such a thing happened, if the Martial King didn't have any emotions, it would be a little unspeakable.
Seeing Mu Chen's indifferent look, Ye Xi'er frowned slightly.
She paused, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't say anything in the end, perhaps because she felt that talking to Mu Chen was a waste of words, so she chose not to speak, but turned around and prepared to leave here, when he just walked outside the door, Mu Chen suddenly said: "Last time you rescued me from the abyss of desolation, I still owe you a favor." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's human, I just don't want my stepmother to die in vain. ”
Ye Xi'er walked out without looking back, Mu Chen hesitated, and also walked towards the Dahe Palace, King Wu favored Concubine Shu very much, now Concubine Shu died because of him, it is inevitable to be angry, but no matter what, Concubine Shu died because of him after all, and there is always something to bear.
The Great River Hall is the main hall of the Wuwang Mansion, but the huge hall is empty, only a man in a golden robe is standing proudly in the hall, the man's eyes are round, his face is solemn, and his face has an indescribable handsomeness, at this moment he is looking directly at Mu Chen who walked into the Great River Palace.
This person is King Mu Wu, the number one master of the famous Heaven Shaking Xuan Kingdom, perhaps because of the perennial battle, he has a fierce momentum of a superior person.
"Meet King Wu. Mu Chen entered the hall and bowed.
King Mu Wu was slightly stunned, and then said loudly: "You used to call my father, why have you changed your words now?"
King Wu's words were flat, and he couldn't see any emotion in a bland way.
Mu Chen frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment and said, "You also said that it was? Now is the present after all." ”
King Mu Wu nodded, then stood with his hands on his back, and said loudly: "I went out to practice, and it was only a little more than a month, and I never wanted to come back to hear the bad news of your mother's death and your affairs in Ji Shaoguan, what do you have to say to me for this?"
Mu Chen couldn't guess what King Wu thought, and he didn't want to guess.
He only knew that if King Wu really wanted to deal with him, he would not call him to the Great River Hall alone.
"Will you listen?" Mu Chen asked rhetorically.
"What do you mean?" King Wu turned around and looked straight at Mu Chen.
"When Ji Shaoguan happened, I desperately explained, praying for everyone's trust, my mother was desperately pleading, and even paid the price of her life, but no one stood up for us to uphold justice, and finally my mother suffered for me, with her life to resist her life, the word grievance, originally sounded no feeling, but when I was really trapped by it, I would experience the helplessness and grievance that called the heavens should not be, and the earth was not good - so after the death of the mother, I chose to be silent, I did not explain, because in my opinion it is just a waste of words, no one will listen to you a weak person to reason, maybe in their eyes the truth is not important。 ”
Mu Chen slowly walked to the throne of the Great River Palace, pointed to the throne and looked at King Mu Wu and said: "You are the king of the high, you can control the life and death of people with one word, no one dares to question your decision, because what you say is the truth, even if you point to the horses raised in the courtyard and say that it is a deer, no one refutes it, but the weak will be crusaded and destined to grovel." ”
"What do you want to express?" King Wu frowned slightly.
"The meaning I want to convey is very simple, in fact, the truth is not important at all, so there is no difference between saying it and not saying it, the best way is to be unreasonable, and when you don't be reasonable, everything is easy. Mu Chen smiled, his smile was a little cold, and his smile was a little unkind.
"You are wrong, there must be a reason in the world, just like us, we live in this blue sky world, if everyone thinks like you, wouldn't the whole world be chaotic?" asked King Wu.
"Hehe, I used to think I was very reasonable, but then I found out that reasoning was useless, and even I almost paid the price of my life, and everyone likes to be barbaric, so wouldn't it be better to talk about these so-called great truths in a brutal and unreasonable manner?" Mu Chen's expression fell into memory, and he thought back to the scene when the righteous path powerhouses besieged him under the leadership of Bai Ji and Fuyao, who would listen to him at that time? He looked straight into the eyes of King Wu and said with a smile, " The world under the blue sky will not be chaotic, because you are strong, the order you build is the truth, no one questions what you say, you can only follow it, and there are constantly people building order, and constantly rebuilding in order...... So the blue sky world will not be chaotic. ”
King Wu looked straight at Mu Chen, and he found that this son had really become different.
"At the moment when you don't have the power to build order, you have to choose to obey! King Mu Wu said coldly.
"No, only the weak will choose to obey, if you have the ambition of the strong in your heart, then you are the strong - born in the shallow pool, life is inferior, chase its ambition, mayfly into a dragon!" Mu Chen looked straight at King Mu Wu, and said coldly, "Even if everyone in the world despises me, as long as I don't despise myself, I know that mayflies can't turn into dragons?"
"Your stubbornness will kill you, you are still too young, the outside world is not comparable to this Mu Wangfu, and if you really have the ambition of a strong man, why did you get drunk and dream of death in those years, and live a foolish life? In fact, in the final analysis, you are the most unqualified person to say this, and what you should do most at this moment should not be to boast about yourself in this empty talk, but to confess to your mother, like the people of Qingyun City to repent and confess their sins, let me see your attitude of admitting mistakes. King Wu slowly walked up to the throne directly above the main hall, and he looked at Mu Chen below the main hall and said loudly.
"It seems that you also think that the matter of the Holy Maiden Wen Shu was done by me?" Mu Chen asked rhetorically.
"Facts speak louder than words. King Wu replied without being salty.
"I'm not reasonable, it doesn't mean that I don't respect the facts, I will give you the facts you want to see, but not now, there is one more thing you said wrong, I can confess to my mother, I don't want my mother to die, but my mother died because of me, this is indeed my sin, as for you to confess to the people of Qingyun City?
He frowned slightly, glanced at King Muwu on the throne, and slowly lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
He couldn't see King Wu's intentions, and he didn't bother to guess.
"I have given you a lot of opportunities, I thought that you would change this time because of Concubine Shu's affairs, but the change is there, but it has become blind and arrogant, my Wuwang Mansion never raises waste, I said such things to you back then, I gave you opportunities again and again, but you don't know how to cherish it, and there is no remorse, it seems that I don't have to think about the relationship between father and son, from today onwards you can leave Mu Wangfu, you and I are affectionate. ”
"You don't have to drive me, ten days later, the four major families will compete, and I will leave. Mu Chen said lightly, but he was a little surprised in his heart, he couldn't see through the King Mu Wu in front of him, but the other party had already broken off the relationship with him, he naturally wouldn't rush to stick to someone's cold ass, it was useless to say more, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the Great River Palace, in fact, there was no need for King Mu Wu to say, he would also leave King Mu's mansion soon,
Looking at the direction in which Mu Chen left, King Wu seemed relaxed.
"In life, there is always too much helplessness, not to think, but to think, not to do, but to do, to this day, after all, we still have to take this step. King Wu stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were full of pride, and he muttered to himself, "The Tianxuan Kingdom, which has been calm for a long time, is afraid that the sky is about to change!"
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a blue flower, and a hint of relief bloomed in his eyes, looking at it for a long time.
