Chapter Twenty-Four: His Disguise

"Ah, okay, okay! It's yellow! Sigh... Scared the hell out of me. Xiao Ai looked at the color on the spiritual power bar, patted his chest, and said in shock.

Mu Changfeng hammered over with a fist and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, you're out of the orange segment." Xiao Ai grinned: "You can do it, come on!" ”

Mu Changfeng took a deep breath and walked over to the golden pillar.

Dozens of pairs of eyes converged on the black back in the center of the pentagram. Mu Changfeng pursed his lips and began to get nervous in his heart. He put his hand on the pillar, and the spiritual power bar quickly turned red, then orange, and then, there were signs of yellowing. His hands trembled slightly, his palms were sweaty, and his heart rose to his throat.

Seeing this, Mousse, who was sitting in the stands, straightened his back, clenched his fists, and looked at the spiritual power bar expectantly.

In the end, the wisp of yellow was still drowned out by the thick orange and disappeared. Mu Changfeng lowered his head and said nothing, but quickly turned around and said with a grin: "Sure enough, it's still orange." ”

He slowly departed under the disappointed, even mocking gaze of everyone. Seeing this, Mousse clenched his hand at the bottom of his sleeve tighter, and his brows furrowed: This kid, such a shameful thing can still laugh! Is...... Do you want to be angry with him to death?

Xiao Luo, who was outside the five-pointed star array, saw his smile, and felt that something was wrong for no reason, bowed slightly to Mu Si, and hurriedly chased after Mu Changfeng's back.

......

"Beigong, how are you feeling today?" Shen Wan looked at the emaciated back, pulled out a smile with difficulty, walked to Beigong Han's side, quietly looked at the scenery outside the window with him, and asked.

In the past few days, the burns on his body have recovered extremely quickly due to the help of the elixir; Just hearing, it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Beigong Han felt the person beside him, turned his head, and his dark eyes flashed with confusion and trance. Shen Wan saw it in her eyes, felt a pain in her heart, took out the booklet she carried with her, and wrote down the question she had just asked.

"Well, it feels so much better." Beigong Han responded, barely squeezing out a smile on his face. He still couldn't get used to the fact that he had lost his hearing. I didn't feel it when my ears were good, but now I can't hear it, and even my own voice is like being sucked into the boundless dark night, and there is no return. He wasn't even sure if he was making a sound. This kind of unexplained panic and anxiety disturbed him day and night, and he couldn't sleep. The longing to hear the slightest sound filled his mind and almost drove him crazy.

Shen Wan received his answer, but her heart was not a little lighter because of this: she knew that he was just trying to comfort her so that she didn't have to worry too much. But looking at his increasingly haggard face, and the panic that piled up in his eyes that she had never seen before, how could she not care, not worry, not be distressed? Now, she just wants to dig out the heart and lungs of the initiator who controls herself, and cut it with a thousand cuts! If it weren't for him, Beigong wouldn't have ended up like this because he saved her. His spirit is far worse than before, this is not the Beigong that she Shen Wan knew at all, this is not. His fists clenched in anger, his nails digging into his palms.

The hatred that flashed quickly in his eyes was caught by Beigong's keen eyes, and he spoke, his voice low and solemn: "Little girl, promise me, don't go to revenge, I don't want you to be hurt again." ”

Shen Wan gritted her teeth, her fist-clenching hand trembled slightly, and she was stubborn.

Seeing this, Beigong Han grabbed her shoulders, shook back and forth, and said:

"At least not revenge until my hearing is restored." Seeing that she was indifferent, he slowly let go of her and said softly:

"I know you're revengeful, but you're far from strong enough right now. As a man, and your first friend in the Shenzhou Continent, I can't let you put yourself in danger. What you should know...... That feeling of powerless despair, too, would never want to experience it a second time. ”

Shen Wan's eyes were slightly red, her heart trembled, she took a deep breath, wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his arms, and nodded fiercely:

"Okay," as soon as he spoke, a tear couldn't help but slip down, Shen Wan sniffed, and choked up: "I promise you." ”

Beigong Han put his hand on her soft blonde hair and stroked it over and over again, as if to soothe her emotions. This move made Shen Wan's eyes wet with tears even more: he was always like a warrior, blocking all the winds and waves for her. And now he should be the one who needs to be comforted the most, God knows how desperate and sad he felt after knowing that he was hearing impaired? She couldn't stand it for anyone, let alone him? But he reassured her in turn...... Isn't she, too willful? He seems to be big on the surface, but he is more meticulous than anyone else on the inside. She Shen Wan, how can she have such careful care from the man in front of her? She clutched the clothes around his waist and leaked her inner turmoil.

Beigong Han's hearing was lost, and his other senses became as sharp as if they had been magnified ten million times. He said softly in Shen Wan's ear:

"Little girl, I'm hungry, let's go eat together. Don't think about it, it's too tired. ”

"yes, okay." Her mood quickly calmed down, the corners of her lips curled, and the mist in her blue eyes gradually dissipated in the sunlight.

......

"Mrs. Mu, there is a small town ahead. You've been on the road all the way, and you can finally get a good rest. The guards gave their hands back.

"Well, thank you guys." Mu Lan looked at the white sky, and wondered: I don't know where Jin'er is now, and if she is in any danger...... She went all the way north along the border of the Shenzhou Continent, in order to attract the attention of the bad old man, so that he would be jealous and inconvenient to startβ€”in the melee of the four clans more than ten years ago, the king of each clan had sworn that the four clans and the Shenzhou Continent were two unrelated individuals, not bound by each other, and had no connection with each other. Therefore, in the case of no token, crossing the barrier between the Shenzhou Continent and the four clans at will be subject to the backlash of breaking the oath.

In those years, she couldn't bear McGee's fists and kicks, and escaped from the ice city alone, and the spiritual power on her body was also reduced by fifty percent; And because of her vitality and weakness, thanks to the help of Aze, she was able to save her life. The McGee are outnumbered, and the punishment they receive is definitely not as simple as reducing their spiritual power...... On her own, she would certainly not be able to compete with McGee. But if you use external forces, while escaping, you can also severely weaken McGee's power, and also make him weak, increasing Jin'er's chances of rescuing Aze.

"Phewβ€”" The carriage slowly stopped.

"Mrs. Mu, this is the best inn in town, my subordinates will go and prepare meals for you, you can rest for a while." The guard said respectfully through the curtain.

Mu Lan thanked him, got out of the car, looked at the familiar Chinese character "Fengmuxuan" on the mahogany plaque, and raised his eyebrows: It's so good, there is still a chance to come here. After a few months of living like a prisoner in Bingcheng, when she returned to her homeland again, she had an indescribable cordiality. Only here can she feel at home.

After entering the territory of the Shenzhou Continent, Mu Lan's hair color pupils turned black again, just like the locals. She stepped into the threshold of neither high nor low, and the familiar smell of food rushed to her face, and she saw at a glance the position by the window, a chubby back, and the conspicuous bald head. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it became, but she thought that he could not be here. So he frowned, took a closer look, and exclaimed:

"Ruan Yin?!"

The man turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw the person, he was also surprised: "Blue! Forehead... Bathe... Donor, how did you end up here? ”

Mu Lan turned her head and said to the guards behind her: "The big guys have been on the road for a long time, you let them go back and rest first." ”

"Yes, ma'am. You also rest early. ”

"Don't call me as a donor, listen to the strange response. After Jin'er came to the ice city to rescue me, she rushed to save his father. I was tracked by the old man, and I couldn't get rid of it, so I could only go in the opposite direction to lure him away and cover Jin'er. Ruan Yin, aren't you in the Hidden Temple? How did you get here? ”

"Remember the half of the parchment map you gave me a few years ago? Shang Jin came to look for you, passed through Xiangcheng and met me, I learned that he was your son, so I gave him the map, and then traveled with him to Ice City. ”

Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "I was supposed to be a backup for that half of the map, for fear that something would happen to me in the future, so as to leave clues for Jin'er." Unexpectedly, it really came in handy. ”

She glanced at Ruan Yin and said slowly:

"Ah Yun, are you okay now?"

Ruan Yin's hand holding the porcelain bowl suddenly shook, and he said in a low voice, "We'...... I haven't seen it in years. ”

"I thought...... Jin'er He got the other half of the map, you and her, after so many years, you can't untie any knot. Mu Lan sighed: "I never thought about it, you haven't been able to meet it." ”

Ruan Yin was silent, silently drinking sullen wine. It took a long time before she spoke: "Yun'er is a woman in the rivers and lakes, hovering between life and death every day, living a life of licking blood from the knife, and she died without paying attention." And I love her, I want to marry her, and persuade her and me to stay away from the hustle and bustle and be an ordinary couple. A look of pain flashed in his eyes, "But she is strong by nature, and she is in charge of the Drunken Flower Secret Pavilion, and there are thousands of brothers under her hands, and they won't go with me ...... anything."

"So in a fit of anger, you became a monk and became a monk?" Mu Lan shook her head and said, "Ruan Yin, I've known you for more than ten years, this is the most confusing thing I've ever seen you do." When you became a monk, my attitude was like this, and it is the same today. ”

β€œ...... I know that in the first few days, I also regretted being ashamed...... But after a long time, I seemed to be able to really understand some of the ways of Buddhism, and suddenly I realized that taking refuge in Buddhism may help people find purity when their minds are chaotic. ”

"Ruan Yin, since you haven't quit meat and wine," she glanced at the wine and food on the table, and said, "You are not a true Buddhist cultivator." I remember advising you to be vulgar at that time, and now what I'm going to say is still the same. Whether you still remember her or not, do not deceive yourself and the world in this way. ”

Ruan Yin was speechless for a long time.
