Su Mu heard Ji Chengying say that, his heart tightened, if it weren't for the presence of others, he was afraid that he would kneel down immediately.

Ji Chengying smiled and said, "I'm not angry, but I feel that there are some things that have been discarded, and it is not necessarily a bad thing that you can get them back."

Su Mu knew that the thing that Ji Chengying gave up in his mouth naturally referred to the emotions that Xuanbu Thorn had long since erased.

Su Mu boldly glanced at Ji Chengying, at this moment, he felt that this emperor did not seem to be cold-blooded.

That's why he didn't want to be the emperor.

Right?

——

Fu Qingyi led Tang Xiaohao to the top of the wooden building of the post station, stood there and pointed to the north and said, "Do you see the darkness in the distance? That's the foggy mountains, the place where there will never be light."

Tang Xiaohao looked in the direction of Fu Qingyi's finger, and then said, "Master, I understand, the things you did before were because you were worried about me, and you wanted to see who were around me when I came out this time, and whether they were trustworthy and reliable at a critical time."

Fu Qingyi looked up at the sky: "The last time we looked at the stars together, you asked me, why am I alone?"

Tang Xiaohao also looked up at the sky, although the sky was not full of stars, it was still a little starlight.

Tang Xiaohao said, "I remember that Master replied to me at that time, in fact, you are not alone, just like the stars in the sky, you look lonely, but you just can't get close to the other stars around you."

Fu Qingyi looked at Tang Xiaohao: "Little mouse, it's a difficult thing to trust others."

Tang Xiaohao pondered for a moment and nodded, "I know."

Of course, Tang Xiaohao knew that when he was a child, the only person he originally relied on trust was his father Tang Chen, but Tang Chen's education for him was not to trust anyone, not even his father. Therefore, even if he wants to trust others, he will have a sense of proportion in his heart.

Later, Tang Xiaohao trusted his personal servant Tang Dun, trusted Lian Lian, and later trusted Little Bell, but at the same time he was also very conflicted, he even thought that trust was a gamble, but it didn't matter, people should always be based on trust, otherwise, you won't have a smile, and you won't see each other's smiles.

Fu Tsing Yi looked at the lonely star in the sky and said, "It is difficult for people who have been betrayed to trust others again. Little mouse, you haven't suffered a real betrayal yet, but sooner or later."

The words of burying Tsing Yi made Tang Xiaohao stunned, because shouldn't the master comfort and encourage the apprentice?

Fu Tsing Yi said: "Every life in this world cannot avoid betrayal, but it is not terrible to encounter betrayal, what is terrible is what you will do after encountering betrayal."

Tang Xiaohao shook his head: "I don't know."

Fu Qingyi looked at Tang Xiaohao: "If one day, you are betrayed, you will definitely be knocked down, you will fall, you will be sad, you will be sad, but you remember, you must get up and continue to move forward, you can't keep lying where you were knocked down."

Tang Xiaohao nodded: "Master, I remember."

Fu Tsing Yi then said: "It's right that you want to go out and see this Nine Plains World, but once you go out, you are embarking on an adventurous road, which is not easy to walk, so you need companions, and you need to trust companions even more."

Tang Xiaohao immediately said, "Of course I believe in them, although the time is not long, but they have already experienced the test of life and death more than once."

Fu Qingyi reluctantly smiled and said: "Little mouse, there is a case for everything, and there is a misunderstanding hidden in this case, and sometimes once a misunderstanding occurs, it is a lifelong thing."

Tang Xiaohao was a little confused when he heard it, but he could feel that there was a story hidden in the words of Fu Qingyi.

Fu Qingyi looked at the sky again: "You probably can't understand what the teacher is saying now, and you will feel contradictory, and you will wonder why you are prepared to be betrayed, and you have to treat the people around you sincerely."

Tang Xiaohao nodded silently, he really didn't understand why Bury Tsing Yi said this.

"If you are too vigilant, you will betray your companions. Since you choose to believe, even if you are hurt

Don't change your mind either. Although people will not change, too many unbearable experiences will force you to hide your original intentions, and you may even go astray."

Tang Xiaohao smiled awkwardly: "Master, I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand."

"What a person will become in the end is determined by his life's experience, and his experience stems from his choice, and every time he chooses, it is because of his natural character," he said.

Tang Xiaohao hesitated and nodded vigorously, but it was obvious that he didn't understand.

Fu Qingyi looked at Tang Xiaohao and smiled: "You are still so cute, although you have always been a child in the eyes of Master, you have actually grown up, therefore, you must think twice about everything, if you make a choice, don't regret it."

At this time, Tang Xiaohao didn't know that even if someone told him in advance, even if he thought he was mentally prepared, he would only really understand if he experienced it himself.

——

The next day, near noon, everyone packed up and prepared to set off from Heishui Post Station to the first node of Wulian Mountain at noon according to the bamboo slip given by Kang Yongzhi.

Regarding what dangers are in Wulian Mountain, and why the Kang family business road is set to the direction of the Big Dipper, the burial of Tsing Yi did not inform Tang Xiaohao.

Although Tang Xiaohao didn't know the details inside, he also knew that the master was forced to stay here in Tsing Yi, not a free body. Therefore, he didn't want to cause any more trouble to the master, so he bowed down to the master when he parted, and led everyone to set off.

Before leaving, they also released Gu Huaiyi in the iron cage, because although the next road could be carried forward on horseback, there was no way to let the carriage go.

Although Gu Huaiyi was released, he was still wearing handcuffs and anklets, and he was tied up with a rope.

While Fu Qingyi watched everyone ride away, a middle-aged man with long hair fluttering, a thin face, wearing black clothes and a black robe walked out of the low wooden house next to him and slowly walked towards Fu Qingyi.

The black-robed man said in an indifferent tone: "It seems that the Kang family has kept the agreement and has not told all the truth about Shangdao, otherwise, Kang Yongzhi will die tonight."

The black-robed man looked at Fu Qingyi again: "However, those people still don't know what they will face after entering Wulian Mountain."

After saying that, the black-robed man let out a pleasant and weird laugh.

Fu Qingyi looked directly at the black-robed man: "Chu Yan, that is the only disciple in my life, I don't care about the others, if something happens to my apprentice in Wulian Mountain, I will definitely destroy this trade road and kill all the guards on duty in the trade road!"

The black-robed man known as Chu Yan bit his thumb: "Although they are your apprentices, they are also hard-won living beings, you must know that Kang Yongzhi only sends us a dozen living people every month."

Fu Qingyi frowned and said, "Didn't there be ten fools who sent them to the door yesterday?"

Chu Yan smiled, with an apologetic smile.

Seeing this, Fu Qingyi hurriedly walked to the cabin, walked into the basement from the secret passage of the cabin, and then saw the people in the basement who were restrained by various torture instruments, these were the killers who came to ambush and prepare to assassinate Tang Xiaohao yesterday, and what Burial Tsing Yi showed Tang Xiaohao yesterday was only the corpse of the soldiers of the Tianqian Army.

Those who were restrained by torture instruments were all dead, apparently tortured to death. From the distorted expressions on the faces of these people, it can be seen that they experienced great pain before they died.

Fu Qingyi turned to look at Chu Yan who was standing at the door of the secret passage: "You can't control yourself like this?"

"I'm sorry," Chu Yan spread his hands helplessly, "I really can't hold back, besides, these are not good people, many of them are still wanted criminals by the government, since we can't exchange them for money, it's better to kill them, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

Fu Qingyi pointed to the man beside him: "Chop off your toes first, then cut off your fingers, and then remove your internal organs, this is called eliminating harm for the people?"

Chu Yan smiled: "This guy used to torture others like this, besides, I just wanted to try the effect of the new medicine, the effect is not bad, after his toes and fingers were cut off, he still remained awake, his eyes were wide, and he looked cute."

Although Fu Qingyi was not the first day she met Chu Yan, she still was

I couldn't help but curse "crazy".

"Dispose of all the corpses, they must be disposed of, and the horses they ride must also be killed, made into jerky, and they can't be taken to Liangcheng to sell, and the corpses can't be sold to the corpses of Qian Qian," Fu Qingyi walked up to Chu Yan and said word for word, "Although I didn't intend to let them live in the first place, I didn't intend to waste these living bodies like this, in addition, they are the killers of the wind full of buildings, and they are broken ten here at once, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Chu Yan touched his chin and thought for a while, "Although there is no living mouth, it is precisely because of this that Feng Manlou will send more people, and then, we will have more living bodies."

Fu Qingyi said coldly: "Yes, Feng Manlou will send more people, but the next batch will be even more powerful."

Chu Yan's face was full of doubts: "The first task of the killers of Feng Manlou is always the goal, not revenge, besides, no one pays for it, and they won't attack the two of us."

Fu Qingyi nodded and said, "Yes, they will find a way to directly enter Wulian Mountain and continue to chase and kill the target."

Hearing this, Chu Yan came to Fu Qingyi: "So, all you have been worried about from beginning to end is your handsome apprentice, and you should be more concerned about the two of us, because Gu Yan has not much time to give us."

Fu Qingyi looked at Chu Yan and said, "What no one has done for thousands of years before me, why do you think I can do it? You have watched me for so many years, we have tried our best to consume so many living bodies, and we can't turn to reverse the rules of heaven and earth."

Chu Yan said with a look of longing: "Before, it couldn't be because we lacked the most important raw materials, but now it's different, the raw materials are ripe, and they obediently return to the people who have been waiting for her."

Hearing this, Fu Qingyi suddenly realized something: "You mean, the raw material we have been waiting for is ......."

Chu Yan smiled, and smiled strangely: "Yes, it's that dear and lovely Princess Baomeng."

Funeral Qingyi's cold sweat flowed down: "So, all this is in Gu Yan's plan?"

Chu Yan slowly retreated, retreated to the strange torture instrument in the back, and directly took off the head of the dead killer, put it in his hand and played with it: "Of course, he arranged everything, as if he had found a piece of soil, buried the seeds in it, then watered and fertilized, waited for the seeds to germinate, and then it was savage growth, absorbing soil nutrients at the same time, being illuminated by the sun, and then flowering and fruiting."

Fu Qingyi's face sank: "Then do we still want to stay here?"

Chu Yan raised the head in his hand: "I don't know, wait for the news, someone will bring the news soon."

After that, Chu Yan actually kissed the dead man's head affectionately.
