A small humble noodle restaurant.

One table, one jug of wine, two wine glasses, four side dishes.

Muyang picked up the wine jug, filled the two wine glasses with wine, and raised his glass to Du Xichun opposite.

"Xiliang people are said to love famous horses and fine wine, I rarely drink alcohol on weekdays, and I will have a drink with you today. ”

After saying that, drink it all.

Du Xichun distributed a shawl, his face was stained with blood and mud, his eyes looked at Muyang a little dullly, and only after he put down the wine glass did he lick his chapped lips and speak.

"Aren't you happy to see my wolf bèi now?"

"What do you think?"

Muyang filled the wine glass again.

Du Xichun's face was expressionless: "Why do you want to help me?"

"I'm afraid they'll beat you to death. ”

Muyang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sauced beef, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

"What does my life or death have to do with you?"

Mu Yang put down his chopsticks and said, "It's okay, but since I didn't kill you in the first place, I can't watch you die in the hands of others, after all, if you know each other, you can be regarded as a disciple, and between brothers and sisters, a small favor should always be done." ”

Du Xichun looked at Mu Yang, and suddenly smiled, his smile was full of mockery: "Do you really not know or are you pretending to be stupid?

Mu Yang frowned: "Happy?"

"I was kicked out of the temple a month ago, and I haven't been a disciple of the temple for a long time, isn't it to humiliate me by bringing me here to say what fellow disciples and brothers are?"

Mu Yang was stunned and stared at Du Xichun for a long time before saying, "Why did they drive you away?"

"You don't know?"

"I don't know, I've been busy lately, and I rarely pay attention to things outside. ”

Looking at Mu Yang's serious face, Du Xichun was sure that he really didn't know, and his face softened slightly.

"Not because of you. ”

"Ranking match?"

Mu Yang's brows furrowed again.

Du Xichun turned his head to look out the door: "You should have killed me at that time, so that I don't have to be **** anymore." ”

Muyang didn't understand it anymore.

Du Xichun said: "Soon after the ranking match, I was kicked out of the temple, the reason was simple and direct, it was because I wanted to kill you, I was seriously injured at that time, and I was thrown out like a dead dog. After being kicked out of the temple, I hated you very much, and I wanted to find a chance to seek revenge on you, but I knew that it was not your opponent, and then I saw that the master of the Yan family had been protecting you, and I knew that there was no chance, but I didn't give up, so I kept secretly following you, until the Yulin Sect was destroyed, and the plaque of Momen was hung on the courtyard gate of the station, and I knew that I was afraid that I would not be able to take revenge for the rest of my life......"

Mu Yang listened quietly until Du Xichun finished speaking, "Do you know why I killed your uncle?"

"Yes. After saying this, Du Xichun added: "I only found out after I was kicked out of the temple. ”

"Then you think I shouldn't have killed?"

Du Xichun was silent, and after a long time, he said: "The one who insults people will always be humiliated, he wants to kill you, you can naturally kill him." ”

Muyang picked up the wine glass again and said, "So it makes no sense for you to hate me." ”

Du Xichun raised his head: "I really have no reason to hate you. ”

Mu Yang looked at the wine glass in his hand and said, "Do you know why I didn't kill you in the first place?"

"I don't know. ”

Muyang said: "Because you are avenging your relatives, no matter how much hatred I have with him, based on this alone, I should give you a chance to live, this is one of the reasons." Another reason is that your cultivation strength makes me feel that it is a pity to kill you like this...... I just didn't expect you to become what you are now. ”

After a pause, Mu Yang said again: "You were kicked out of the temple because of me, if you want, I can let you return to the inner temple to practice, of course, not without conditions, from today on, I hope you can become my follower, I will provide you with the best cultivation resources, and what you have to do for me is one thing - kill people." ”

Du Xichun looked at Mu Yang with straight eyes, obviously a little surprised by his directness.

The temple is the first place to practice in the mainland, no one is not eager to practice there, from Xiliang to Kaiyang for several months, Du Xichun's only purpose is to be able to enter the temple to practice, through the guò exam he finally got his wish, but before he had time to be happy but got the bad news that the only relative in this world was killed, he decided to kill Muyang in the ranking tournament to take revenge.

It's just that he didn't expect that Muyang's strength was far beyond his imagination, and the attention paid to him by the big men of the temple was also unprecedented, and after the war, he not only did not receive timely treatment, but was also expelled from the temple by force.

Cultivators are dedicated to practice, most of them don't know how to make a living, in the days of wandering in Kaiyang City, Du Xichun has seen too much human affection, out of self-esteem, he abides by his heart, does not do stealing and coaxing, he did not have much money, he soon fell into a situation of hunger and cold, and later as Muyang's reputation spread all over the streets and alleys of Kaiyang City, he knew that he didn't have to count on revenge in his life, and after finding out the cause and effect of the assassination that night, all thoughts were discouraged, and he broke into the restaurant to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, but was bumped into by Muyang。

Du Xichun is not an unreasonable person, on the contrary, although the Xiliang dead man can work hard at any time, but his mood is transparent, and he is more sensible than those sanctimonious hypocrites, if Mu Yang only said to help him return to the temple without making any requests, he would definitely not accept this kind of favor, but after adding the final conditions, it made him moved.

"Take me with you, aren't you afraid that I will find an opportunity to kill you?"

After a moment of silence, Du Xichun asked.

Mu Yang smiled and said, "Do you think that with your strength, you can kill me?"

"You may not be able to fight head-on, but if you sneak attack, ......"

"It's the same with sneak attacks. ”

Mu Yang stared at Du Xichun's face and said seriously: "Maybe some people can sneak attack and kill me, but these people will never include you." ”

Du Xichun frowned for the first time, puzzled: "Why?"

Muyang drank all the wine in the cup, leaned forward, and said, "Xiliang is a dead soldier, never kill people behind your back, this is your rule, and it is also the reason why I can rest assured to keep you by my side." Of course, the more important reason is that Yan Shisan likes you and wants to make you a friend, the person he likes may not necessarily have a high level of cultivation or strength, but they are all gentlemen who value love and righteousness, and never stab a knife in the back. ”

"I ......"

Du Xichun didn't know what to say, Yan Shisan's rugged and handsome face appeared in front of him again, and he remembered the excited, nervous and angry look on his face when he learned that he was going to kill Mu Yang in the ranking match.

Didn't say anything more.

Du Xichun picked up the wine glass on the table. Drink it all.
