Chapter 16: Mystery
This voice was cold and ruthless, just like a scoop of snow water poured on everyone's heads, making everyone shudder!
Standing outside the crowd was Senior Sister Wen Tian!
When Ma Tianhu saw Wen Tian, he said happily: "Senior Sister Wen, just now Senior Brother Zhuang taught the boys in Feimeng Mountain a hard lesson, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhuang to be as powerful as before, tsk......" Wen Tian's face was like frost, and he ignored Ma Tianhu's words, just looked at Zhuang Zhou expressionlessly, and said, "Are you a little proud?"
Ma Tianhu was accustomed to Wen Tian's cold words, and walked aside and stopped talking. Zhuang Zhou was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that just now your senior sister was gone, and now I drove away the group of people from Feimeng Mountain, as soon as you came back, without saying a word, you spoke coldly, and you didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, you also won back some face for Yunmengshan, even if you don't praise it, you won't have such a cold stinky face!
The pride in Zhuang Zhou's bones made him tense his face and not speak, but the dissatisfaction was difficult to hide! If it weren't for the fact that Wen Tian had saved himself, maybe the rebuttal would have been spoken.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou didn't speak, Wen Tian frowned, turned his head and said to everyone: "Master will return to the mountain tonight, everyone hurry up and cultivate, tomorrow Master will come to test the skills of the big family......" Before the words fell, he heard Liu Ling shout happily: "Great, I haven't seen my father for almost a month!" Wen Tian turned his head and glared at Liu Ling, Liu Ling shrank back in fright and made a grimace.
It seems that even Liu Ling is afraid of this cold-faced senior sister!
Wen Tian said again: "Everyone has been on the mountain for a while, everyone is allowed to go home tonight and rest all night, and rush back tomorrow morning!" Everyone cheered, and they gathered together to discuss tonight's holiday, and the cultivation field was lively for a while.
Zhuang Zhou's heart was inexplicably sad, because he was the only one who had no home on this Yunmeng Mountain, and he didn't even know who his parents were or where they were! Seeing others elated, how could he not be depressed and uncomfortable?
When he was in an extremely low mood, Zhuang Zhou faintly felt that a gaze slowly floated and fell on him, making him feel an inexplicable warmth and care. He turned his head to look and found that the person looking at him was actually Wen Tian!
Wen Tian saw Zhuang Zhou looking over, and hurriedly turned his head, his eyes returning to indifference and coldness in an instant.
Zhuang Zhou's heart moved, Wen Tian actually gave him a strange feeling.
While he was thinking wildly, Ma Tianhu ran over and said to Zhuang Zhou: "Senior Brother Zhuang, come to my house tonight! My father and mother have made something delicious!" Zhuang Zhou wanted to refuse, but looking at Ma Tianhu's look of anticipation, he couldn't bear it, so he nodded.
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but look back at Wen Tian again, only to see that she had already walked out of the cultivation ground alone, and she didn't know where to go, leaving Zhuang Zhou with a back. For some reason, Zhuang Zhou saw a kind of loneliness and loneliness in this back, and felt sympathy in his heart.
That night, Zhuang Zhou went home with Ma Tianhu. It turned out that most of the cultivators' homes were on the halfway of a mountain to the south of the peak, and the last time Ma Tianhu pointed it out to Zhuang Zhou, he thought it was not far from the cultivation ground, but he still had a long way to go. After descending the mountain, they had to cross a small river, and after crossing the river, they had to go up the mountain to bypass a section of cliffs and through a forest, and the two of them walked for two or three hours to arrive. Fortunately, both of them are cultivators, they have abundant physical strength, and the scenery along the road is beautiful, so they don't feel tired.
Watching the sun go down, the tired birds return to their nests. Ma Tianhu suddenly pointed ahead and said, "It's here!" Zhuang Zhou looked around, and saw that there were more than 100 families concentrated on this halfway mountainside, and the houses were built in two rows on a relatively flat open space, with a road in the middle. These more than 100 families have actually formed a small market town here.
Ma Tianhu's home is in a wooden house to the east of the market town. Ma Tianhu was in front, Zhuang Zhou was behind, as soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Ma Tianhu hurriedly pulled him inside, and shouted as he walked: "Dad, mother, I'm back!"
A middle-aged woman came out of it, with a look of surprise, and said, "Hu'er is back!" Immediately saw Zhuang Zhou who was following Ma Tianhu, her eyes were stunned for a moment, and she looked at Ma Tianhu with some doubts. Ma Tianhu said: "This is Zhuang Zhou, it turned out that he was also cultivating on this Yunmeng Mountain, but ......" The middle-aged woman was a little distracted, and said softly "oh", Ma Tianhu seemed to be a little impatient, and changed the topic and said: "Mother, I'm hungry, you can cook quickly! Anyway, it's my friend, don't ask so much!"
Zhuang Zhou bowed down and smiled at the middle-aged woman, and said, "Excuse me!" The middle-aged woman was still a little absent-minded, nodded blankly and said, "Oh......" turned around and entered the house, and looked back at Zhuang Zhou at the door.
Zhuang Zhou was puzzled in his heart, feeling that this middle-aged woman's expression was very strange, did she know herself, or did she know some secrets on her body?
Ma Tianhu's father did not return from hunting, and his mother and Ma Tianhu were used to it: the hunters on this mountain often hunted all night in the mountains and forests, and did not return until the next day.
Dinner was carried out in the candlelight, Ma Tianhu's mother greeted Zhuang Zhou very warmly, Ma Tianhu was also elated, Zhuang Zhou had not felt like a family sitting around to eat together for a long time, today I arrived at Ma Tianhu's house, watching Ma Tianhu and his mother happy, my heart was warm and sad. In a trance, I actually remembered the dream world that Liu Canglong created for himself, where there were also loving parents...... Sometimes I think it's better not to wake up from that dream!
After dinner, Zhuang Zhou and Ma Tianhu went back to the room to rest. In the dark, Zhuang couldn't sleep for a while, so he closed his eyes and breathed for a while. Looking at Ma Tianhu beside him, he didn't seem to be asleep yet, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Senior Brother Ma, can you tell me what kind of person I was before?" Ma Tianhu's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Actually, I was not qualified to enter Yunmeng Mountain to cultivate before, but I went up the mountain later, and then you went crazy......
Zhuang Zhou was puzzled and said, "Not qualified?" Ma Tianhu was a little embarrassed and said: "Yes, it seems that my father did something wrong and was driven down Yunmeng Mountain." After I was born, I lost my qualification to go up to the mountain to cultivate. Later, my father taught me to cultivate, and after I entered the dream realm, the patriarch suddenly asked my father to send me up the mountain, and I went up the mountain...... I didn't want to do it at the beginning!" Zhuang Zhou said: "So, you don't know my past very well?"
Ma Tianhu said: "Although I don't know very well, but, after going up the mountain, I have heard some things about you......" Zhuang Zhou hurriedly asked: "Is it? What's the matter?" Ma Tianhu said: "For example, you will enter the dream realm in half a year......" Zhuang Zhou interrupted: "I didn't ask this." Do you know how I offended Senior Sister Liu and Senior Brother Li before?" Ma Tianhu touched the back of his head and said, "This...... I don't know very well, but I heard that you did something very sorry for Senior Sister Liu before...... I don't know what it is, and it seems that people don't want to talk about it......."
Zhuang Zhou knew that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he didn't ask anymore. Ma Tianhu yawned and said, "Senior Brother Zhuang, don't think about it so much!" I see that Master values you very much, and your understanding is high, it won't be long before you can go down the mountain and walk in the world...... Zhuang Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Sleep!"
In a moment, Ma Tianhu was snoring like thunder. Zhuang Zhou couldn't sleep anyway, and began to sort out the experience during this time: I was originally a cultivator on Yunmeng Mountain, and I didn't know what offended Liu Ling, and I was so anxious by Liu Ling's words that I went mad and put my life in danger. Master took me into the world and created a dream experience for me for twenty years, after which I lost almost all my memories and lost all my skills. Master took me back to the mountain and asked me to re-cultivate, and gave me a Steamed Dream Pearl, so my cultivation speed was extremely fast. However, Li Chaowen and Liu Ling are deliberately trying to harm me, I don't know if Master knows this? Why is Master so nervous when I mention my parents? What is the secret between Master and my parents? Does he know where my parents are? Why did Ma Tianhu's mother look at me so strangely when I came here just now, and seemed to be a little panicked?
Countless mysteries jumped in Zhuang Zhou's mind, making him more and more sober. At this point, he wished he had entered the dream realm, so that he could enter the dream realm of some people and discover the secrets hidden in him.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a "stuck" sound outside the door, which was very clear in the dark. At the same time, the door was heard pushed open.
Zhuang Zhou got out of bed, and through the crack in the door, he saw a black shadow flashing into Ma Tianhu's house.
