Chapter 435: Extra-Segmentary Branches
In the afternoon of the same day, Mo Xiao, Mo Cong, Mo Min, thirteen Yahuan and five young men worshiped the "ancestors of the Black Mountain Sect" on the top of the black dragon, and the offerings were very rich, and the worship ceremony was very solemn, and it did look like that.
But the woman in white was very reluctant to worship this kind of ceremony, and after the thirteen girls and five young men came down the mountain, she said with a strange look that the ancestors of Lingyun Mountain were all living well in the fairy world, and asked Mo Cong not to worship the ancestors like ghosts in the future.
"Didn't I say it, everyone worships the ancestors of the Black Mountain Sect, and it has nothing to do with the ancestors of Lingyun Mountain. Mo Cong was speechless.
"You kid likes to do these messy things, just teach them to practice, and worship the ancestors who live well as ghosts, haven't I taught you how to worship before?" the old man also laughed and scolded beside him.
"Is it exactly the way Lingyun Mountain is coming?" Mo Cong asked.
"Nonsense, don't you just say that's the rules of the Black Mountain faction?" said the old man angrily.
"Okay, then I'll pay attention next time. Mo Cong said embarrassedly.
The five people talked and went down the mountain together to the shore of the Black Dragon Lake, at this time the Mo Mansion on the shore of the Black Dragon Lake was already full of lights, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that night Mo Xiao Mo Cong Moyu each made some specialty dishes, and the whole mansion pushed the cup and changed the cup together for a lively reunion.
At the table, Murong Mingyue thought that when the Chinese New Year last year, the sixteen palace maids were still eating and singing and dancing with everyone, but now they didn't know where they were born and whether they were dead or alive, and their hearts were a little sad. When Mo Cong saw her and asked her if she was homesick or something, Murong Mingyue whispered.
"Old man, aunt, where are those palace maids of Longguo now, can you turn them back for the New Year, and then see if you can wash away their memories so that they can stay with Yue'er?" Mo Cong took a moment to transmit the message to the old man and the woman in white.
"This matter started because of me, I'll solve it. The woman in white said.
After a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, the Mofu family lit a bonfire on the shore of Heilong Lake as they did last year, singing and dancing. Ruiguo palace maids and Xiaoyue and other Mofu maids showed their talents and talents, and at this time, Murong Mingyue suddenly sent eight palace maids to perform the show, and everyone was surprised when they saw that these eight palace maids were the palace maids of Longguo who had returned to Longguo for a whole year in legend.
"Sister Murong, why are you palace maids back again?" Hang Rui looked at those palace maids and asked in a low voice.
"I was about to tell you about this, they were all locked up by your father, I thought they were pitiful and turned them back, you must not tell him when you see your father. Murong Mingyue also whispered.
"Why did my father lock them up?" Hang Rui was surprised.
"Your father thinks they are spies of the Long Kingdom, so he intercepted them and locked them up, there were originally sixteen of them. After being locked up, they were either tortured to death, tortured to death, or died of illness, and now there are only eight people left, all of whom are pitiful, so don't mention it to your father for their pity. Murong Mingyue said.
"Well, I definitely don't say it. Hang Rui nodded in reassurance.
At the end of the bonfire performance, Mo Min Moyu Chen Ruoping Hang Rui took some maids back to make dumplings to celebrate the New Year, Mo Xiao Mo Cong accompanied the old man and the woman in white to talk, Murong Mingyue came to meet the old man and the woman in white, and expressed her gratitude very sincerely.
"It's kind of a bit of a blame for me. I originally wanted them to die happily, but I didn't expect the Rui Imperial Court to be so suspicious, causing them to suffer a lot, and now saving them back can be regarded as a little compensation. The woman in white said lightly.
"Have their memories been washed away?" asked Mo Cong.
"Hmm. They only remember now that they were sent by the Emperor of Longguo to take care of the princess of Longguo, and after they came, they were detained and tortured by the Ruiguo court, and finally they were rescued by the two of you, and they can't remember anything about the assassination. You can rest assured that you will leave them behind. The woman in white said.
"Then thank you, Auntie. Mo Cong said, "There is another thing, I have also cultivated to the merger stage now." Is it dangerous to go to Longguo with Yue'er?" he asked after a moment's thought.
"It's better not to go, lest there be any accidents, you have to remember that the Demon Sect is not terrible, what is terrible is the God and Demon Palace. The woman in white said with a pun.
Mo Cong understood what the woman in white meant, and was worried that he would set up some kind of trick to trick himself into going back as soon as he went to the Gods and Demons Palace. He thought for a moment and asked Murong Mingyue if there was a problem with him going back, and the woman in white said that this was no problem.
"Yue'er, you also heard it, if you are very homesick, go home and have a look, and when you want to come back, my aunt will take you back. Mo Cong turned to Murong Mingyue and said.
"Okay, then I'll leave tomorrow, thank you, Master, thank you, Auntie. Murong Mingyue respectfully kowtowed and said.
"This girl is really not easy, in order to follow Mo Cong to abandon the Long Kingdom and abandon the Demon Sect, I think she is very good. After Murong Mingyue got up and left, the old man said.
"yes, so her homesickness can be fulfilled. The woman in white said.
"Old man, where is the divine dragon at the bottom of the lake?" the two were talking, and Mo Cong asked beside him.
"It's at the bottom of the lake, but Shenlong likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed, so don't bother him in the future. The old man said.
"Okay, then can you tell me what the relationship between Shenlong and you is, how do I feel that he is a little afraid of you?" Mo Cong asked curiously thinking about the change in the black dragon's eyes when he saw the old man.
The old man avoided answering this question, and just took out a few jade pendants and handed them to Mo Xiao Mo Cong, saying that it was a New Year's gift for them.
"This is a gadget that I have been refining for three months, wearing it can calm the nerves and ward off evil spirits, and can avoid the rain of knives and arrows, you have a lot of sons and daughters-in-law, I will refine a few more pieces, you can give it to whoever you want." The old man gave Mo Xiao one piece, but gave Mo Cong eight pieces.
"This ...... Can you really avoid swords and arrows?" Mo Cong picked up a piece and asked curiously.
"You can try. The old man said.
"Forget it, I don't believe other people's words, can I still not believe the old man's words, old man, you teach me this craft, I see that you have a lot of hidden crafts that have not taught us, and you have never told us about these crafts of making mechanism alchemy. Mo Cong slapped a sycophant and said.
"These are not the crafts of Lingyun Mountain, but the old man himself figured it out, if you are interested, you can also figure it out yourself, what is the meaning of others teaching you?" The old man ignored his sycophants, and he didn't mean to teach at all.
The four of them chatted like this in the hut in the middle of the lake, and the time of handover soon came, everyone set off fireworks together, ate dumplings and rested separately, Mo Cong gave a few jade pendants to Mo Min, Moyu, Chen Ruoping, Murong Mingyue, and Hang Rui, although Mo Min and Murong Mingyue themselves are cultivators, but since the old man even gave Mo Xiao to them, of course it is necessary to wear them. The jade pendant sent five pieces and left three pieces, Mo Cong stored it and prepared it to study it, and then sent it when he met the necessary person, put the jade pendant Mo Cong went to the warehouse where the treasures were stored and went around, and selected some things to give to the thirteen Yahuan and some other people, the New Year is a celebration anyway, and everyone is happy to have a gift.
After giving the gift, because Murong Mingyue was leaving tomorrow, Mo Cong deliberately went to talk to Murong Mingyue, and of course he also divided several clones to accompany the others. Murong Mingyue thought that she could finally go home with peace of mind, and she was very relieved that the eight palace maids of the Longguo Kingdom were freed from the cage, and she was very grateful to Mo Cong and Murong Mingyue. Mo Cong asked them not to be polite, they only needed to serve Murong Mingyue with all their heart.
"Ninth Princess, can we go back with you?" asked a palace maid.
"No, just stay here and wait for me to come back. Murong Mingyue said.
The palace maids didn't say anything when they heard Murong Mingyue's order.
After the palace maids left, Murong Mingyue and Mo Cong stayed warm overnight, and the next morning, Mo Cong sent Murong Mingyue to the Giant Spirit Pass.
"Why is it that every time we are the night before you leave, we will be warm?" Mo Cong said with emotion as he looked at the Xianbei camp outside the Giant Spirit Pass.
"I'll be back soon, you don't have to worry. Murong Mingyue said lightly in Mo Cong's arms.
"To be honest, I really want to go with you, in fact, my current cultivation shouldn't be in danger of going with you. Mo Cong looked at the snowy north from afar.
"I still don't want it, my aunt is afraid that the demon immortals of the Gods and Demons Palace will hurt you, and I also promised my aunt to go back by herself, so you can go back quickly." Murong Mingyue gently broke away from Mo Cong and said, although she dreamed that Mo Cong would go to Longguo with her, but Mo Cong's safety was more important than going to Longguo, so she didn't want Mo Cong to risk himself, but she didn't know Mo Cong's identity as the demon lord, and she didn't know that the so-called gods and demons of the woman in white were terrible because she was afraid that the demon immortals would use various tricks to trick Mo Cong into going back.
"My aunt's worries are actually unnecessary, huh...... I'll go with you. Mo Cong thought about it for a while and decided to go with Murong Mingyue.
He had imagined in his heart countless times before that he would go to the Long Kingdom with Murong Mingyue, but now that he had reached the Giant Spirit Pass and then retracted back, it was a bit of Mo Cong's character, so after thinking about it for a while, he resolutely decided to go to the Long Kingdom with Murong Mingyue, as for the Gods and Demons Palace, Mo Cong felt that his position was firm, and his determination not to go back would not waver, and the Gods and Demons Palace would not succeed no matter what beauty tricks he used, so there would be no problem in going to the Dragon Kingdom.
"Auntie, take Mo Cong back quickly, I can't persuade him. Murong Mingyue saw that Mo Cong did not listen to persuasion, and immediately raised her head anxiously and said, hoping that the old man and the woman in white could take Mo Cong back after hearing it to avoid any accidents, she shouted a few times, but there was no response at all.
