Chapter 13: Break and Confession
With a flick of his fingers, it was already half a moon.
Mu Fan and Song Changgeng have both fully recovered, and Zhang Jian was very shocked by their resilience. His broken bone injury had not yet fully healed, but the two of them had recovered first.
What shocked Zhang Jian even more was that Mu Fan came to his senses a few days ago, and the first thing he said was "The egg is given to you, and you can take the crystal nucleus of the golden orangutan." ”
This made Zhang Jian excited for a long time, and thought to himself: "Yan Qing is really a righteous person, and he really lives up to my careful care these days."
In fact, after Mu Fan woke up, he found himself in a tree hole, with cold sweat on his forehead. Zhang Jian is not credible, and can only exchange interests.
Now that Zhang Jian can hold back his greed, it doesn't mean that he won't be tempted again.
Mu Fan secretly gave himself and Song Changgeng the best healing pills, and then waited for Zhang Jian's return.
He had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, since Zhang Jian wanted eggs, then give them to him. Only by completely curbing his greed can he protect himself.
Zhang Jian felt that the two of them were recovering too quickly from their injuries, but he couldn't have imagined that Mu Fan had another identity and had all kinds of elixirs.
After Mu Fan and Song Changgeng fully recovered, the three of them were eating.
Mu Fan said: "Now that our injuries are almost recovered, does Brother Zhang have to leave with the eggs?"
Zhang Jian took out the crystal nucleus of the golden orangutan from his arms, pointed to the egg not far away, and said with a smile: "With these two things, I will definitely be able to join the inner door." ”
Mu Fan expected that Zhang Jian would not give up, so he said: "With the strength of the three of us, that egg is only to make a wedding dress for others. ”
Song Changgeng said, "Brother Zhang, why don't you give up that egg and only take the crystal nucleus of a second-order spirit beast?"
Zhang Jian was embarrassed and said: "As long as we hide well, we will never be discovered by others." ”
Mu Fan said bluntly: "I'm afraid that the crystal nucleus is a second-order late-stage spirit beast, and it is enough for you to enter the inner gate of the Sword Sect." ”
The conditions I originally negotiated with you, I will give you the crystal nucleus, and you will help me return to Qizhou and deliver the mountain and river order. Now I'll give you both the crystal nucleus and this egg, but only your map. ”
Zhang Jian asked, "What do you mean, you don't plan to let me go to Qizhou together?"
Mu Fan said: "After all, you have taken care of me and Chang Geng these days, don't talk nonsense with me again, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”
The atmosphere of the meal immediately changed, and the smoke and dust wafting from the bonfire seemed to be filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
Zhang Jian shook the flying sword in his hand, Song Changgeng was nervous, and Mu Fan was still eating there.
Zhang Jian said, "Why?"
Mu Fan kicked him in the face and sneered: "You are unkind, do you still ask me to be righteous to you? Now you have to take this egg with you, or you treat our lives as child's play." Do you want us to give up our lives for your greed?"
Zhang Jian wanted to say something, but Mu Fan kicked again.
Mu Fan said: "Hand over the map, you go to your Yangguan Road, and you can scatter in two." ”
Zhang Jian spat a mouthful of saliva, which was mixed with blood and two broken teeth. He slowly handed over the map, got up and picked up the egg next to him, and silently left the hollow.
Seeing that Zhang Jian was walking away, Song Changgeng suddenly threw away the grilled fish and knelt down in front of Mu Fan.
Mu Fan was taken aback by his sudden move and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"You've saved me many times, and I know you're good to me. Song Changgeng paused and said, "But you are not Brother Qing, where is the real Brother Qing?"
A hint of fierceness flashed in Mu Fan's eyes, he must not reveal his identity. But Song Changgeng was willing to block the wind for him in the inn, and blocked a claw of Confucianism for him. This person is affectionate and righteous, and he is in the same temper.
Song Changgeng choked up and said: "Whoever is good to me, I will be good to whom." Without Brother Qing teaching me martial arts, I was still just a handyman. ”
He stopped crying and said, "Whoever is good to me, I will be good to him." Brother Qing is very good to me, and I will be good to him even if I try my best. ”
Mu Fan stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Should I say that you are smart or that you are stupid." Can you see that Yan Qing and I are not the same person, and if you and I are clear, you are not afraid that I will kill you?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but I want to know the whereabouts of Brother Qing. Song Changgeng straightened his waist, "You are also very good to me, but you are not Brother Qing." If you kill him, I'll fight for him with all my might!"
Mu Fan sighed and said, "You saved me several times, just tell me." You don't have to worry about Yan Qing, he's not dead now. ”
Song Changgeng hurriedly asked, "Then where did he go?"
Mu Fan said: "You just need to know one thing, now that I have exchanged identities with him, I must not be exposed." If it is exposed, he and I will surely die without a place to be buried. Can you believe it?"
Song Changgeng wiped his tears vigorously, and said with a smile: "As long as you say that he is okay and you didn't kill him, I will believe it." ”
Mu Fan smiled: "You and I have similar tempers, and we both owe each other a few lives." From now on, you and I are brothers in life and death. Whoever dares to touch you is my enemy, and I will kill him as soon as possible. But if you betray your brother, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you. ”
Song Changgeng immediately swore a poisonous oath to the sky, and he said all the bad things he could think of.
Doing all this, he laughed: "From today onwards, we are tied to a rope. I'm not a hero, but I have a reward. ”
Song Changgeng was curious: "Then what is your real name?"
Mu Fan shook his head, indicating that he couldn't speak.
Song Changgeng no longer asked his name, but asked, "You are stronger than Brother Qing, and you have a storage ring." I'm afraid it's even more dangerous on your side!"
Mu Fan nodded and said, "I became Yan Qing just to protect myself. ”
Song Changgeng asked curiously, "Why is Brother Qing willing to exchange identities with you?"
"He can't take revenge on the sea of blood, so he can only rely on our strength. ”
Song Changgeng didn't know who this "we" was referring to, but it was probably a large cultivation force.
The two are now open and honest, and after Mu Fan asked him, he still called him Brother Qing, and he must not show his stuffing in front of anyone.
The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the secret cannot be leaked, which is the portrayal of the two now.
Mu Fan thought for a while and said, "You can go to the Sword Sect with me, if your qualifications can be cultivated, then join the Sword Sect with me." If you can't cultivate your qualifications, then follow me to develop the power of the rivers and lakes, and you can be proud of one side in the future. ”
Song Changgeng immediately knelt down and bowed, without Mu Fan, he was indeed nothing. If there was no person in front of him, Yan Qing would not have been able to gain strength, and it would have been impossible to teach him kung fu. He could only eat and drink all his life, be a little guy all his life, and finally die like garbage.
Mu Fan hurriedly helped him up and said, "You and I don't have to be like this, whether you can cultivate or not depends on your own qualifications, not me." ”
Song Changgeng didn't understand the things in the cultivation world, and made a lot of jokes. But he himself is not stupid, he has lived at the bottom for a long time, and he has met all kinds of people. I know what kind of people can trust my life, and what kind of people must not be trusted.
He didn't eat anything because of the tense atmosphere just now. He picked up the grilled fish and ate two more bites, and said, "Brother Qing, what should we do next?"
Mu Fan picked up the map left by Zhang Jian and discussed how to return to Qizhou. Although it was a discussion, in fact, Song Changgeng didn't know anything, and it was all Mu Fan who made the decision alone.
Mu Fan made a route and decided to set off after a full meal. Anyway, the injuries on his body are almost healed, and hunting around the tree hole will not encounter any great danger.
He said with a smile: "I'm really tired of eating those tasteless grilled fish every day." Today we will improve our food and eat and drink well. ”
After he had finished speaking, he went hunting outside the hollow. It didn't take long for him to come back with a leg of mutton.
The leg of lamb is a little different from ordinary sheep, and it should have been cut off from the spirit animal.
Song Changgeng pointed to the leg of mutton and said, "It's no problem to eat a big meal, but where is the big drink you said?"
Mu Fan immediately took out a jar of Xinfeng wine and said, "Although it is a good wine, it is up to the end of the order." ”
Song Changgeng nodded again and again, but he really moved his mouth, but it was not as he said. I drank one cup after another, and it didn't take long for me to get drunk.
Mu Fan is much better, he must pay attention to moderation, after all, this is a dense forest, and one of the two people must be awake. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief, feeling inexplicably lonely.
was going to leave with a full meal, but now he can't leave until Song Changgeng sobers up.
Mu Fan took out the mountain and river order again, carefully observed and observed, and still did not find anything special. He got up and walked out of the hollow of the tree, slightly drunk.
Young Ren Xia, it is said that Old Man Mu was a chivalrous man who was anxious for justice and righteousness when he was young, and liked to marry heroes. When he was young, he studied art in Taoism, and he was quite famous in this world. Later, I don't know what happened, he lost all his cultivation, and he became a mortal.
It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, although he has lost his cultivation, but he has shifted the time of cultivation to the establishment of the Mu family. In just a few decades, the legend of the Mu family has been created. He regarded himself as a man of the world, but no one dared to despise him.
Mu Fan saw the scene outside the tree hollow, the flowers and plants that swallowed the buds, the lush trees everywhere, the babbling stream not far away, and the distant mountain peaks intersected with the clouds......
He couldn't have imagined that he would stay in the hollow of the tree for so long. I can't help but think of the Mu family that he has stayed in for more than ten years.
I'm afraid that the Mu family has become a deserted garden now, and the original gorgeous buildings may have been completely destroyed. A home must be talented and vibrant, and without people, a home cannot be regarded as a home, but only a building.
He returned to the hollow of the tree and practiced pranayama. He believed that he would definitely meet the Mu family again, and he would definitely see his grandfather again. He hoped that he could protect the Mu family in the future, instead of letting his grandfather go to great lengths to protect him.
