Chapter 10: The Mystery of Life
The peerless face that came to mind, the uninhibited evil smile, or the pure smile, seemed to be a collection of contradictions, but it was so fitting that it shone on him alone, which made her unforgettable. She enjoyed the heartiness of competing with him, and was even more touched by the appearance of a big boy that he showed from time to time. To say that he is black, but he is as white as rice paper in the sophistication of human feelings; If he is said to be white, he is calculating all the time and trapping her. This is him, black and white, impermanent and fickle.
"Beigong, Prince Hatcher is talking about the first snow-capped mountain?"
"Well, halfway up the snowy mountain." Beigong Han stretched his neck and looked at it slightly, "Look, there is the first one in front of you, not bad?" ”
Shang Jin looked in the direction he pointed: "Well, you can't be wrong." ”
They quickened their pace, and before they could get closer, they heard a deep male voice in the distance:
"You're here."
"Where's my mother?" Shang Jin came up and asked.
"Resting in the cave, I just checked her pulse, the pulse is extremely weak, and I am afraid that she has suffered a lot in Bingcheng. I healed her minor injuries and it was basically fine. It is difficult to heal from a wound, and I am afraid that it should not be too bumpy. ”
Hearing this, Shang Jin nodded: "I know, thank you." ”
"No thanks. This is the last thing I will do for Luo'er. Shang Jin, take good care of your mother and tell her that I have written to the King of Bingcheng to explain the situation about the marriage contract, and he should not pursue this matter again. If I have something, I'll go first. ”
"Have a nice trip." Shang Jin patted Hatcher and Beigong Han on the shoulders and said in a deep voice.
Seeing the two of them away, Shang Jin hurriedly ran to a cave not far away. Shouted:
"Mother-"
"Jin'er, come over here, let my mother take a good look at you." Shang Jin ran and rushed into Mu Lan's arms. The warm crook of his arm made him burst into tears, and joy and bitterness welled up in his heart together. He rubbed his head against his mother's shoulder like a big dog, and his nose ached when he touched the slender skeleton. After his emotions calmed down, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely:
"Mother, what you suffered in Bingcheng today, Jin'er remembers it in her heart. On other days, Jin'er will help you get it back a thousand times, a hundred times! ”
Mu Lan seemed to think of something, and suddenly grabbed Shang Jin's hand tightly and said, "That's right! Jin'er, you don't care about me, take revenge or something slowly, the top priority is to save your father! ”
"Mother? You... Say what? Shang Jin was a little confused for a while: Dad is in danger? How did my mother know......
"Mother said that it was your biological father."
"My... Own... Father? Shang Jin muttered, at a loss.
"Jin'er, I'm sorry, it's really sudden to tell you about this now. However, your father's life is in danger now, and time is running out, can my mother explain it to you later? ”
"......" In the past few days, first Shen Wan is from the Fire Clan, and the little fox is said to be the princess of the Phantom Clan, and now he is the father he has known for more than 20 years, but he is not his real father? It's all ...... What a thing.
"A few days ago, when I was sitting in front of the window in a daze, the ice snail that I used to communicate with your father, which had been silent for many years, suddenly made a sound. It's your father, who was banished by McGee's bastard to the poorest unknown island in the south, and sent his men to imprison him. McGee has placed a tracking Gu on me, and it won't be long before she finds out that I've escaped. I can't do it physically, and I'll drag you down, so I'll divert his attention and go north. ”
"Mother, how can I do this, I..."
"Okay, Jin'er, don't worry, my mother will be fine. This ice snail gives you, and if you're lucky, you might even hear some messages from your father. And this artifact, which I stole from the old immortal place, and wanted to pass it on to the next successor. Although your spiritual power is not strong, but by your side, it always makes your mother feel at ease...... Go ahead, don't worry about me. ”
"Mother, how can you reassure me like this? Wait, my guard will be there soon, and I'll leave as soon as he arrives. ”
......
A bright light appeared, and Mu Ningjiu and Mu Changfeng closed their eyes irrepressibly. When they opened their eyes again, they were already in a green valley, and when they looked up, there were several birds flying in the clear blue sky, their colorful feathers, shining in the sunlight. Mu Ningjiu raised her eyebrows: In the past month or so, all kinds of strange things have subverted her brain, which has been scientifically transformed by modern technology, but despite this, the technique of teleporting from one place still makes her feel incredible.
Mu Changfeng saw Mu Ningjiu's surprised eyes and said with a smile: "Ning Ning, this is the Phantom Clan." The Phantom Clan is different from the Ice Clan, it is like spring all year round, the scenery is pleasant, and it is the most suitable place for vacation among the four clans. The creatures inside are very strange, and they are very similar to the psychedelic forest. ”
"Oh? Such? There must be some peculiar poisonous weeds, right? When Mu Ningjiu heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Well, that's nature. There is a special piece of land in the valley of the clan, which was cultivated by my father to cultivate poisons. Don't say it, my father and yours have similar hobbies. Mu Changfeng blinked.
When Mu Ningjiu heard this, he wondered: Mu Mu's father? Phantom King... Is it? If she is really a princess of the Phantom Clan, then Mumu ...... Isn't it...... She patted her head, how could she have forgotten this stubble before! However, it is better not to think about anything until you are sure. She shook her head and looked around, but there was no one. It's like this green field, there are only the two of them.
"The Phantom Clan is too big, why can't you see anyone?" She looked at the junction of the mountains and the sky and muttered.
"Our Phantom Race is the most extensive of the four races, and it is pregnant with many strange creatures. As for this man, we are now on the edge of the Phantom Clan's territory, and when we go to that mountain, we will see it when we pass through the valley. Mu Changfeng pointed to a large mountain that connected the sky.
"Hmm."
At the foot of the mountain, Mu Ningjiu looked at the bottomless valley under the sea of clouds, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Mu Mu, we have walked to the edge of the cliff, where did the valley you said go?" You... You won't get lost, will you? ”
Mu Changfeng pouted when he heard this, frowned, and said, "Ning Ning, no matter how little common sense I have, I won't even know where my home is, right?" Hey, do you see this sea of clouds? Crossing the valley is the bottom, and the Phantom Clan Castle is in the middle of the valley. ”
"Through?? Mumu, you mean, we're going to jump from here? Is there still a life? General Mu Ningjiu asked suspiciously.
"Oh, you don't have to think about what's under the clouds, it's just a trick for the Phantom Race. Don't forget, this is the territory of the Phantom Clan, and naturally it is protected by illusion everywhere. ”
"Can you see this trick?"
"Uh...... Although it doesn't work......"
"And you're still talking about the truth?! If you come to a cliff that resembles your valley, it's too late to cry. Mu Ningjiu was laughed at by his uprightness, and rewarded Mu Changfeng with a burst of chestnuts.
"Whew...... When I was a child, my father tortured me like this in order to make me obedient and learn illusions, how could I remember wrong?? It's a nightmare for a lifetime,......," he complained as he rubbed his head and cried with a sad face.
"Don't be mistaken, my sister's life is in your hands." Mu Ningjiu twisted the flesh on Mu Changfeng's face vigorously, gritted his teeth and admonished.
"Oh, you lighter... Hum! It's still my sister, but it's not necessarily older than me......" Mu Changfeng pouted and complained.
"Don't be big or small! Your sister is your sister. All right! Let's go. Mu Ningjiu grabbed Mu Changfeng's hand and said.
"Ready, jump!"
"Whew-" The wind in my ears was endless. The wind that kept blowing on his face was not as stinging and rough as he imagined, but unexpectedly soft, like a soft silk scarf brushing his cheeks.
The fall of his body gradually slowed down, Mu Changfeng opened his eyes, pinched Mu Ningjiu's hand, and said proudly: "Ning Ning, I'll just say it!" Follow my brother and don't get lost! Isn't this the Phantom City? Ugh..."
"Hey, you're a good kid, you still take advantage of me, I'm your sister."
"Hmph, I don't... Oh... Coagulation pain, pain, pain. ”
"The kid is quite stubborn?"
"Hey, no..."
A faint fragrance came to his face, and Mu Ningjiu stopped arguing with Mu Changfeng, and was surprised to find that they were located on a field that could not be seen. In contrast to Ice City, Phantom City is as hot as June. At his feet, the green grass grew unbridledly, reaching the calves. The unknown purple velvet flowers in front of you spread to all corners and complement the vibrant green. As far as the eye can see, there is nothing else to spend. In the distance, the sound of crisp water sounds, bringing people an indescribable comfort and refreshment in summer.
There was still no one around, not even the castle. Mu Ning nine pokes Mu Changfeng:
"Mumu, why is there still no one? And, what about castles? ”
"Hmm...... Don't worry. The entrance to the Phantom Clan is extremely hidden, and among all the flowers, only one is the key. In order to prevent me from going out and not being able to return home, my father deliberately let me train here for two or three days without eating or drinking...... It's a real headache when you talk about it. Alas, let me think about it, which flower is it? ”
Mu Ningjiu looked at the thousands of small purple flowers that seemed to look exactly the same, and said, "Uh...... What happens if you choose the wrong one? ”
"If you choose the wrong one......" he swallowed and said, "This flower... It is highly toxic, and there are several different kinds of poison. If you're lucky, you'll be in a coma for two or three days at most, if it's ......"
"Bad luck, how?"
"Seven orifices bleed to death."
"......" Mu Ningjiu raised her eyebrows, thinking: The poison of this phantom race makes her quite interested in studying and researching to see if there is any strange poison that she has not seen. She couldn't suppress her curiosity, and excitedly rushed to Mu Changfeng and said:
"Mumu, you say, if I take one, it should be fine, right?"
"Condensation?! You don't want to die? A lot of flowers here are highly poisonous, highly poisonous! No, no, no, no......" Mu Changfeng was frightened and waved his hand again and again to stop it.
