Chapter 58: Night Talk

"Remember? This is the place. Meng Liang stood in front of the hut, looking at Xu Han, who was talking to Nineteen who was sitting on the giant ape not far away, he was a little puzzled, but he was reluctant to step forward because of his face.

"Well, don't worry, Nineteen remember. Xiao Nineteen nodded heavily and said with a serious face.

"When I'm done, I'll go to Chen Guo to meet Ziyu and them. Xu Han smiled and touched Xiao Nineteen's head and said.

"What about Uncle Xu? It's dangerous to be alone here. Little Nineteen asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, isn't there still Senior Brother Meng. Xu Han comforted.

"Did you say Uncle Meng?" Nineteen heard this, his eyes swept and landed on Meng Liang who was not far away.

Meng Liang, who felt the other party's gaze, subconsciously straightened his waist, wanting to make his appearance look convincing enough.

"However, Uncle Meng looks so weak that he can't help Uncle Xu. But Xiao Nineteen adhered to the consistent unintentional and unscrupulous words, and said very distressed at that time.

Meng Liang almost fell to the ground, Xu Han smiled dumbly, shook his head and said: "I have my own measure, you go there first to help me find that person, and then take them to Chen Guo to wait for me, and when this is over, I will come to look for you." ”

Nineteen also knew that this matter was very important, so she didn't hesitate anymore, she nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

So the giant ape let out a long roar, put Nineteen and Zhou Yuan on his back, and then after a pause, he jumped up high and ran in the direction of Da Zhou.

......

"Where did you let them go?" After the giant ape left, Meng Liang hurriedly approached Xu Han and asked with a curious expression.

It's no wonder that Meng Liang asked this question, since they came to the Sword Tomb in the morning, Xu Han was taken into the depths of the Sword Tomb by Wang Yangming, and the two stayed in the Sword Tomb for a whole day before coming back. Then Xu Han summoned Zhou Yuan and Nineteen, said something to them, and then let them leave, the whole process was a bit mysterious, which made Meng Liang curious.

"Go to Chen Guo to join Ziyu and the others, the big war is coming, and it is not good for them to stay. Xu Han smiled, and seemed unwilling to reveal his inner story to Meng Liang.

But Meng Liang didn't have the consciousness to accept it when he saw it, he hurriedly grabbed Xu Han, who wanted to go to the side to help Qin Keqing, who was preparing dinner, licked his face and smiled: "Senior brother, this is too much to treat senior brother as an outsider, I just heard that you want Nineteen to find someone, right, who?"

"Senior brother mean that we are not outsiders?" asked Xu Han with a strange face.

"Senior brother, what are these words, you and I are fellow senior brothers, naturally not outsiders. Meng Liang did not doubt that he had him, so he said with certainty at that time.

When Xu Han heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Since you are not an outsider, why did Senior Brother hide what happened in Chen Guo from me?"

"Huh?" Meng Liang suddenly changed color, and the smile on his face was all retracted at that moment, he let go of the hand holding Xu Han's sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "The old man told you?"

When he came to the Sword Tomb, Meng Liang had met with Wang Yangming and told him about what happened in Chen Guo, but Wang Yangming didn't seem to be interested in caring about it, and just asked Meng Liang to solve the barbarians who were surrounding the Sword Tomb before doing anything else.

Therefore, when Xu Han mentioned this matter, Meng Liang naturally realized that it was the old man who informed Xu Han of this matter.

"Why did Senior Brother hide it from me?" Xu Han looked at Meng Liang with deep eyes and asked quite incomprehensibly.

Meng Liang has a free and easy temperament, since Xu Han knows about this, he naturally will not bother to hide this matter anymore, he smiled bitterly: "This is my Chen Guo's family matter, what's the use of telling others?"

Speaking of this, he paused again and said: "Besides, the junior brother and Ziyu have always had a close relationship, if I told the junior brother about this, I wouldn't be able to hide it from Ziyu." I don't want her to have a gap with the mystery because of this..."

Xu Han had imagined many reasons why Meng Liang had concealed this from him, but he had never thought that Meng Liang would do so for such reasons. Xu Han couldn't help frowning: "Senior brother, is this revenge for killing her father like this?

Meng Liang shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Xuanji... is also a poor person, the grievances in this are too complicated, so don't ask too much. ”

After Meng Liang said this, he didn't give Xu Han any chance to speak, turned around and walked out of the Sword Tomb, obviously unwilling to do any entanglement with Xu Han on this issue.

Xu Han looked at the back of the other party leaving, and was slightly stunned, but in the end, he did not stop the departing Meng Liang.

......

After dinner, the only thatched hut in the Jianling Tomb was given to Qin Keqing, and Wang Yangming meditated cross-legged in the depths of the Jianling, as if making the final preparations for the upcoming battle.

Meng Liang didn't seem to be in a good mood after a conversation with Xu Han before, and after going to the outside of the Sword Tomb and walking around, he came back and was silent, and after dinner, he sat alone in front of the stone cliff of a hill outside the Sword Tomb, looking at the sparse stars in the sky, and was stunned.

He thought about what had happened these days, and it was no longer something that could be complicated in two words.

Meng Liang was reluctant to think about these things, because once he thought about them, it was as difficult for him to breathe as if he was weighing on a thousand burdens. Thinking of this, Meng Liang sighed.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out, along with a pot of wine in the hand.

Meng Liang was stunned, he looked sideways, but saw Xu Han holding a pot of wine in his hand at the moment, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Meng Liang also smiled slightly at that time, reached out and took the wine jug, unsealed it, touched Xu Han slightly, and then raised his head and took a big sip.

By the time he put down the flask and wiped the spilled wine from his mouth, Xu Han had already sat down beside him.

"Where did you get the wine?" asked Meng Liang curiously.

The southern wilderness is barren, and the food source of Jianling is probably some fruit trees planted on the west side of Jianling and the tribute paid by those barbarians every year, although the number is not much, but there are not many people in Jianling, plus the prey he occasionally hunts, it is almost enough to meet the consumption of Jianling itself, but the wine that needs to be made from grain is obviously too luxurious, as far as Meng Liang knows, there is no such thing in Jianling, so the two jars of wine brought by Xu Han are indeed beyond Mengliang's expectations.

Xu Han also raised his head alone and drank a sip of sake, and said with a smile: "When he walked with his master before, he once told me that he secretly made some wine from the grain of Jianling, but he was afraid that he would be discovered by the two senior uncles, so he secretly buried this wine in a place in Jianling. ”

Meng Liang was a little stunned when he heard this, he was not only surprised that Canghailiu had done such a ridiculous thing, but also surprised that Xu Han's name for Canghailiu was suddenly changed.

But he didn't ask much, just nodded, and then fell silent again.

"Uncle Wang told me a lot of things. Xu Han glanced at Meng Liang, and didn't seem to feel that the other party was not in a good mood at the moment, so he spoke again.

"About the sword spirit of the sea current, but also about Kunlun, the fierce sword, and the half-demon that is far away in the primeval era. ”

"He told me about the obsession of the sea, and I thought about it, although he calculated me, but he felt so guilty about it that the sword spirit never forgot it, and finally sacrificed himself to save me. In fact, if it weren't for him, his kindness to me was greater than his fault to me, and if it weren't for him, Uncle Mo wouldn't have ruined the palace for the sake of good, and finally..."

"So I have to accept his kindness, and it is only natural for me to call him Master. ”

Hearing Xu Han say this, Meng Liang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Han, and was about to say something, but Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"Ke Qing was pushed to the throne of the God King by Mr. Lu and others, she was born a half-demon, and because of the dragon energy, she became a real god. When I rescued her from Chang'an, she had fallen into a coma because of her weakness, and at that time I had probed the situation in her body, and I felt that there was some kind of great power in her body, as if she was ready to devour her at any moment. ”

"And I also have this power, and there is such a thing hidden in the depths of my body, he is a hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand times more powerful than the power in Keqing's body, I can't be sure if I have these connections with this half-demon god species, but it is extremely important for me to figure out my own background. Of course, in order to prevent Senluo Hall from finding the divine seed, I asked Nineteen to go to Niutou Village in Qingzhou to help me find someone. ”

Meng Liang was a little stunned when he heard this, after all, it was the first time he had heard of such a statement, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "You mean to find that little monk?"

"Well, the girl who followed the Guanglin ghost is also a half-demon who has been nourished by the blood of the demon monarch, counting her, there are only three of all the gods that already exist in the world, I am worried that they will become the target of the Sen Luo Palace, and secondly, I also want to find out what the things in my body are, so I asked Nineteen to pick them up. ”

Meng Liang's heart couldn't help but be a little surprised, he only vaguely heard Fang Ziyu and others say something about the situation of the half-demon and Xu Han, but Fang Ziyu and others couldn't understand the specifics, how could he be clear.

But he still suppressed the strange look that suddenly rose in his heart when he heard this, and asked calmly, "Do you know where they are?"

"Hmm. Xu Han nodded, "There is still some contact, I received a letter from them some time ago, saying that Liu Dingdang's body was better, and the Guanglin ghost took her to Niutou Village to live there in seclusion, but with the current situation of Da Zhou, I estimate that such an idea can only be wishful thinking after all." ”

"It turned out to be for this. Meng Liang nodded, and he understood what Xu Han was saying about letting the nineteenth and others leave today. But soon he came back to his senses, looked at Xu Han with a strange expression and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

Meng Liang knew very well that everyone had their own secrets, some secrets could not be spoken, and some were unnecessary, and what Xu Han said obviously belonged to the former, and at this moment he suddenly revealed to himself and the plate, which was somewhat strange.

Xu Han laughed, he blinked his eyes and said, "Because Senior Brother said, we are our own people." ”

Meng Liang was stunned again at this moment, he immediately reacted, and said, "You shouldn't say this just so that I can tell you about Chen Guo, right?"

Xu Han didn't answer Meng Liang's question at the first time, he stretched out his hand and raised the wine jug in his hand to salute Meng Liang, and after taking a sip, he said, "Then it depends on whether the senior brother treats the junior brother as his own." ”

This move to retreat into advance probably hit Meng Liang's pain point, he smiled bitterly and drank a sip of sake, and said, "You just want to know about Chen Guo's affairs so much?"

"It stands to reason that this is a senior brother's family matter, and those who are junior brothers really shouldn't be asked. After Xu Han heard this, his face suddenly turned straight, and he said: "But at this time and that time, there are some things that should not be asked, and the junior brother can only dare to ask." ”

"What do you want to know?" seemed to be infected by Xu Han's appearance, and Meng Liang's eyes sank at that time.

Xu Han's eyes were like torches, staring at Meng Liang deadly, and at that moment he asked word by word: "Senior brother's father, how did King Meng Ke of Qin die?"

Meng Liang's gaze dodged at that time, he pretended to be calm and lifted the wine jug, and said in his mouth: "Didn't the old man tell you everything? ”

How could Xu Han be deceived by Meng Liang's clumsy rhetoric, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother still doesn't want to say it?"

When these words came out, Meng Liang's body suddenly shook, he put the wine jug in his hand to his lips, raised his head and drank it in a big gulp, and the full pot of wine was drunk by him in one gulp between a few breaths.

Then he threw the flask into the wasteland beneath him, and the flask fell into the wasteland with such force, and it shattered in an instant.

Meng Liang rubbed his hair vigorously and said loudly, "What can I do?

"One is my brother, the other is my father! My brother killed my father, and then my father left me a suicide note!"

"He told me not to take revenge! He told me to help my father's killer! He said that only in this way can he be at ease under the Yellow Spring!!"

"Now, I still have to defend this sword tomb for Chen Guo, God knows if I can go back alive, if I can take revenge, can I grab Chen Xuanji's neck and ask him why he did such a thing!"

Meng Liang said, his emotions gradually got out of control, and some of the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for these days finally couldn't be wrapped up at this time, and they surged out.

Xu Han looked at Meng Liang at this moment, his face was a little wet, but Xu Han couldn't tell whether those things were wine stains or tears left from drinking before.

He just silently stretched out his hand and patted Meng Liang's shoulder, but didn't really say anything to comfort Meng Liang in the first place.

As Meng Liang said, this is Chen Guo's family matter after all, if Meng Liang wants to take revenge, he will naturally help, but at this moment, Meng Liang is hindered by his father's suicide note, unable to make a choice, as a bystander, he does not know what it is, naturally he cannot give advice.

But since coming to the Southern Wilderness, Xu Han has seen Meng Liang's abnormality, and even vaguely feels that he said that he sprouted a will to die. Xu Han never thought that this would be a good thing, he felt that it would obviously be very difficult for a person with a will to die to survive the imminent war in the Southern Wilderness.

That's why he forced Meng Liang to reveal his heart after hearing about this, so that Meng Liang, who had been depressed for a long time, could more or less get better.

Nearly a hundred breaths passed, Meng Liang's condition finally eased gradually, and the trembling of his body gradually calmed down, Xu Han saw this before he said again: "Senior brother, do you know? I was just a little beggar in Shangyun City, Qingzhou, who was in danger of dying of starvation at any time. ”

"Everything I have done from a beggar, to the killer of the Senluo Palace, to the elder of the Linglong Pavilion, the lord of the Tiance Mansion, and the pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion is so that I can live, this is certainly not something to brag about, after all, everyone is like this. But I have also experienced many desperate things, such as being betrayed by the Heavenly Ce Mansion, such as the gods and demons in my body that no one can say, their existence is a nightmare for me. ”

"I don't dare to say that my situation is more difficult than that of my brother, but in any case, I have never thought about death. ”

"I'm going to live, I'm going to live no matter what. ”

"Because only in this way can I be with the people I like, I can see the scenery I want to see, and I can do what I want to do. ”

"So nothing is more important than being alive, as long as you live, you have the opportunity to find the answer you want, no matter what the answer is, I think senior brother should go and take a look, right?"

When Meng Liang heard this, his body was shocked, and his heart naturally understood what Xu Han meant at this time, and he also guessed that Xu Han's actions today were actually to help him get rid of the death will born because he wanted to escape the status quo.

He glanced at Xu Han gratefully, and was silent for a while before he said sincerely, "Thank you." ”

Xu Han saw that he knew so well that Meng Liang's heart knot should have been untied at this moment, and he smiled: "Senior brother doesn't have to say thank you, in the end, I am also for myself, only our senior brother can seek a glimmer of life in that big war." ”

"Of course, in return, if the senior brother really wants to do something at that time, the junior brother will definitely help!"

Of course, Meng Liang knew that Xu Han's words were just to help him save some face, and he also exposed it, but said with a smile: "Okay! When the time comes, you can help me Chen Xuanji tie him up, let's strip off his clothes first and let him parade the streets of Jinling City for three days, and then ask him about it." ”

"Hmm. Xu Han thought about it for a while, and then said: "This plan is very good, and it will be according to the words of the senior brother at that time." ”

"Good!" Meng Liang was in a good mood, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and then put all these troubles aside and laughed heartily.

.......

"By the way, do you know what Uncle Shi said to me at the end today?"

"What did you say?"

"He asked me to leave the Sword Tomb with my senior brother and the fierce sword. ”

"Then the old man doesn't seem to have confidence, so you agreed?"

"Nope. ”

"And what do you say?"

"I said that my senior brother Meng Liang is a high disciple from the mountain, and he has the true inheritance of Mo Chenzi, known as the first day of the world's swordsmanship, and now his cultivation is profound, and no one in the world is invincible, when those thieves are killed, my senior brother can kill millions of lions with just one sword, what are you afraid of?"

"Haha! Well said!"

......

"But that's what you said. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. ”

"Where's the difference?"

"Sort of... Replace the senior brother in the words with me..."

"Lean !!"
