Chapter 16: Mo Lao's Past
"Mo Lao, how do you know this family?" Luo Chen looked at the Chang Geng couple who were busy in the kitchen and asked curiously.
"Before I went to the Endless Mountains a few years ago, when I passed through Cloud City, I happened to meet this Chang Gung who was beaten by a bully in the city, and I really couldn't look at it and helped him, so I knew him, he had to thank me, and it just so happened that I was going to the Endless Mountain Range and passed by his house, so I went to his house for one night!" Mo Lao said with a smile.
Luo Chen nodded, feeling that Mo Lao was like those knights who walked the rivers and lakes in the martial arts novels he read, but what he didn't expect was that Mo Lao had actually been to the Endless Mountains.
"Old Mo, have you been to the Endless Mountains?"
"Ah, yes...... Mo Lao laughed dryly, but the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness, "It's very dangerous there, I almost died there that time!" β
"Oh!" Luo Chen nodded, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, Mo Lao, I remember that you said before that this Southern Desolation Domain is adjacent to the Fenglan Sect, right?" β
"That's right! It's just on the other side of the Southern Wilderness! β
"Then can you take me to the Fenglan Sect this time?"
"What are you going to do there?" Mo Lao was a little surprised.
"I want to see my sister!"
"Your sister?" Mo Lao looked at Luo Chen in surprise, and then remembered that when he first saw Luo Chen and them, there seemed to be a little girl next to him.
"Well, after the beast tide was wiped out by the strong people of the Fenglan Sect last time, the strong people of the Fenglan Sect gathered us orphans together, and then ......" Luo Chen talked about what happened after the beast tide in Xiliang Town that day and after Mo Lao was killed.
"I see!" Mo Lao nodded, but Luo Chen's words just now seemed to evoke some memories of Mo Lao, making him a little distracted, and a faint sadness and amazement appeared in his eyes.
"Mo Lao, which sect is your martial arts from?" Luo Chen asked what he had always been curious about, he always felt that Mo Lao was able to cultivate medium exercises, not from a certain family, it was probably from some sect, after all, medium exercises were not so easy to obtain.
"It's not from any sect, but it's ...... It was taught to me by my beloved! Mo Lao gave an answer that surprised Luo Chen.
Luo Chen looked at Mo Lao with a curious expression, and Luo Chen's question seemed to have completely opened Mo Lao's memories......
"Actually, when I was young, I was just like you, an orphan! is also like you, with mediocre cultivation qualifications, and was once rejected by the big sects......" Mo Lao talked about his past......
His original name was Mo Tiancheng, and he used to be the captain of the patrol team of Tianquan County of the Great Shang Dynasty, because by chance, he met the girl who was destined to be entangled with him for the rest of his life, she was the granddaughter of the owner of a pharmacy in the city.
The girl is very beautiful, jasper is in her prime, and her love is just beginning, and Mo Lao at that time is also in her prime, and her appearance is dignified.
The girl has no parents and depends on her grandfather, and Mo Lao also has the same parents who died early, and the similar life makes them understand each other better, so the two quickly fell in love, even to the point of talking about marriage.
But life is impermanent, one night, the girl was waiting at the door of the pharmacy to wait for the patrol to return from the old Mo, but unfortunately met the three major families of the county, the Wang family's gentleman brother, this person indulges in flowers all day long, famous for lust, this person saw the slim girl, through the strength of the wine to think of insulting the girl, the girl's grandfather ran out to stop, but was pushed down by the boy, the old man is old, the back of his head hit the ground, and he died directly.
The boy wanted to forcibly take the girl away, but fortunately Mo Lao, who had returned from patrol, arrived, but seeing this situation, and the old man who had lost his breath, it was he who was just the age of the blood and qi, and in a fit of anger, he killed the boy brother and caused a big disaster. In desperation, he could only escape from the county town with the girl, and finally hid in the dangerous mountains.
When the two thought that they were going to die like this, they met a female elder of the Imperial Sword Sect in the mountains, and their lives took another turn.
The elder said that the girl had a very unusual physique, so he wanted to take her as an apprentice, but Mo Lao's qualifications were mediocre and he couldn't become a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, and the two seemed destined to separate.
In order to get rid of the pursuit of the Wang family, in order to change his fate, Mo Lao persuaded the girl to agree to worship the Imperial Sword Sect. And he followed the elder to the foot of the Sword Sect Mountain, a small village, and settled down.
The girl was a genius in the sky, and soon became a dazzling new star and core disciple of the sect, and later she also helped Mo Lao get the cultivation method of the fire attribute.
Two years later, the girl was already at the peak of the Qi Yuan Realm, and Mo Lao also stepped into the eightfold martial arts realm with the help of the girl.
Later, the two of them often went out to practice together, acted chivalrous and righteous, wandered the world, and also met many heroes in the rivers and lakes.
That was Mo Lao's most unforgettable experience, but gradually, Mo Lao's cultivation speed improved slowly, while the girl's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, a thousand miles a day, and soon reached the Lingyuan realm, and the gap in strength between them became wider and wider, and Mo Lao felt a little lost in his heart.
And the girls also have many suitors, and even young talents in the sect, each of whom is stronger than Mo Lao and has good talents. Although the girl was single-minded towards Mo Lao, Mo Lao actually felt inferiority more and more in her heart, and the verbal ridicule of Mo Lao by those suitors in private made Mo Lao even more depressed.
The girl understood Mo Lao's heart, in order to help Mo Lao quickly improve his cultivation, she began to continue to venture around, looking for heaven and earth treasures for Mo Lao, helping him improve his cultivation, and finally because she learned that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure was born in the Endless Mountain Range, she was already at the peak of the Spirit Yuan Realm, and she decisively went there.
But this time, he never returned, Mo Lao was heartbroken and blamed himself, he didn't want to believe that the girl had passed away, and he didn't want to accept such an ending, so he waited hard for her return, and he waited for more than forty years, but he never heard from him, and his cultivation stopped at the peak of the Qi Yuan Realm.
A few years ago, he had entered the Endless Mountain Range, but there was a miasma there, covering the sky and the sun, and he couldn't even tell the difference between the east and the west, and the terrifying demon beasts were everywhere.
He was later attacked by demon beasts, unfortunately fell into the cliff, thought that he would end this sad life like this, but did not expect to fall into the river, drift with the current, was washed to the periphery of the mountains, and then was rescued by the hunters who went into the mountains to hunt in Xiliang Town, and brought to Xiliang Town.
So after that, he lived in seclusion in the town of Xiliang, waiting for his lover's return, and here, he would also feel closer to his lover.
After talking about his past, there were already two lines of tears on Mo Lao's face, and the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness that could not be dissolved.
Luo Chen's eyes were also a little red, although what Mo Lao said was an understatement, but from Mo Lao's expression and tone, he could really feel the deep grief and helplessness, he didn't say anything, just a long silence, silent with Mo Lao......
"I had already lost all my thoughts, and I didn't have much nostalgia for this world, only the only remaining luck kept me alive, looking forward to waiting for her to return.
I thought that beast tide was my last life, but I didn't expect God to give me another chance, but to be honest, I've had a very happy life in the past few months, and I also understand another meaning of life! A smile appeared on the corner of Mo Lao's mouth again, and he reached out and patted Luo Chen's shoulder, although the smile was so bitter, but his gaze was very gentle, as if an old father was looking at his son.
Mo Lao's words made Luo Chen a little moved, in the past six months, he could feel Mo Lao's care and love for him, Mo Lao almost taught what he had learned all his life, without reservation, so that Luo Chen was also very grateful, Luo Chen is a person who knows how to be grateful, although Mo Lao is the person he reincarnated and resurrected with filthy soil, but Luo Chen has already regarded him as his own relative and his teacher.
"Haha, look at me, I'm still sentimental at such an old age!" Mo Lao smiled bitterly and wiped away his tears, and at this time, that Chang Geng also walked in, and said with a smile: "Mo Lao, Luo Chen, it's time to eat, hehe, that ...... Coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it! β
Luo Chen, Mo Lao and Chen Changgeng's family sat together and had dinner, in order to entertain the guests, Chen Changgeng and his wife made three dishes, as well as bacon that year that could not be eaten a few times, but Xiaobao was very happy.
But they had only eaten a few bites when there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by the barking of dogs and neighing, and the sound of exclamation.
"The bandits are comingβ"
"Run, the bandits are coming!"
