Chapter 35: Heading to the Back Mountain
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Lin returned to the City Lord's Mansion from the North City.
"Calculate the time, Xue'er should be going to the Star Academy today." Mu Lin, who was sitting under the pavilion, looked at the attic and muttered to himself.
Unexpectedly, after more than two months of getting along, Mu Lin found the latter's position in his heart, and in a trance, the bits and pieces of the past two months appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile that he had never had.
"Boy, what are your nerves?" The white-haired man in the amulet quipped when he saw the young man's expression.
"I ......"
Mu Lin was about to spray, sensing that there was someone on the side, so he turned slightly sideways, and found that the girl came to her side unconsciously, and her clear eyes revealed a little crystal.
Without saying a word, Mu Lin stepped forward and grabbed the girl's slender waist and hugged her tightly into his arms. The girl didn't say a word, but her body was close to her arms, her hands around her waist, and the two kept it like this.
At this time, three people came not far away, but they did not make a sound, but stayed where they were and waited quietly.
Among them, Murong Feng was relieved in his heart after what happened last night, after all, Mu Lin was at least stronger than himself, and this was enough.
Time passed little by little, and although Mu Lin was reluctant, he also let go of the girl in his arms.
Seeing this, the latter's pretty face turned slightly, and when he looked behind him, he saw that everyone had arrived, and when he looked at the pasture again, his eyes were full of reluctance.
Seeing this, Mu Lin squeezed out a smile on his face, and then said softly: "Wait for me there."
In a simple sentence, Mu Lin struggled in his heart for a long time before he spoke.
"Well, wait for you" Murong Xue also squeezed out a smile on her pretty face, bowed her head slightly, and then turned around and walked towards the three people behind her.
Seeing this, everyone immediately went to the gate of the city lord's mansion, while Mu Lin walked away alone.
After a while, the four of them came to the door, and saw that two men and a woman in college uniforms had been waiting for a long time, and two carriages were parked there.
"Cher, be careful there, and don't forget that you are my pride." Murong Huande patted the girl's shoulder and admonished, but the short words revealed subtle concern.
"Xue'er, come back often when you have time," Matsuyama said on the side. ”
The girl looked at the two of them, and suddenly a smile appeared on her pretty face, which was still sullen, and then said in a brisk tone: "Okay, I know, you two can please go back."
Seeing this, the two had to smile helplessly, and after Murong Xue got into the car, they returned to the mansion.
And on a high point that was invisible to everyone, Mu Lin was sitting above, watching the gradually departing carriage, until he completely disappeared from view, and then got up and left.
At the same time, Murong Xue looked at the City Lord's Mansion that was getting farther and farther away, and the figure of the white-robed young man appeared in his mind, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of arc, and he said secretly:
"Mu Lin, I'll wait for you ......"
……
On the mountain behind the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Lin was rushing towards the mountain at a very fast speed at this moment. And just now, because he told the white-haired man that he was on the back mountain before, the talisman behaved strangely. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the white-haired man's lazy expression became unprecedentedly serious, and he was about to go there immediately. Mu Lin He had seen a white-haired man behave like this, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, and then his figure flashed and ran towards the mountain.
"Why do you kid feel slowing down?" A slightly complaining voice sounded in Mu Lin's ears.
"Is this slow? It's a lot faster than the last time I was here. When Mu Lin heard this, he retorted.
"But I feel like it's too slow." The white-haired man did not hesitate.
"Okay, okay, you're the best." Mu Lin stopped talking nonsense, and concentrated on running the phantom step, and his speed increased a little faster.
"Where did you make the amulet strange in the back mountain before?" The white-haired man asked at this point.
"It's in the woodland up ahead, and there's a lot of monkey monsters there." Mu Lin looked at the brown and green not far away, and replied.
"There are still monkey monsters?" The white-haired man was slightly surprised.
"There are a lot of demonic beasts on this mountain, and the further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes." Mu Lin recalled that Cher had mentioned it before.
Just as he was about to speak, the white-haired man had already felt a familiar spiritual power, although it was very weak, but it was exactly what he needed.
"Stop"
Mu Lin stopped when he heard this, and then the ethereal soul of the white-haired man appeared, and with a slight wave of his robe, a glittering green goblin jade appeared out of thin air in front of Mu Lin's eyes.
As Mu Lin's expression of astonishment revealed, the essence jade slowly flew towards the white-haired man, and then fell into his hand.
The latter's gentle spiritual power entered the essence jade, and then the essence jade flew into his body and melted into it.
"This ......" Mu Lin looked at this scene with an unbelievable look on his face.
"It's a pity, it's a fragment, and it seems that it was also damaged by its influence at the time." The white-haired man shook his head slightly and muttered to himself.
"What is this?" Mu Lin felt like a person who had never seen anything in the world, and he didn't know anything.
When the white-haired man heard this, he glanced at the latter, and said lightly: "This is the beginning of the birth of another continent, which was formed by condensing the purest spiritual power between heaven and earth.
"Condensation? So, it's supposed to be awesome, right? Mu Lin said curiously.
"As the first jade in the mainland, how can it be a mortal thing? The moment it was born, it already had its own consciousness, and its strength was not inferior to any of the eight main gods on the continent. The white-haired man said slowly. But when the eight main gods were mentioned, a trace of sadness and resentment flashed in his eyes.
Mu Lin noticed this, but he didn't ask, just listened to the white-haired man's words.
"But then it was lonely... No, I was hit hard by me, I thought it would recover on its own, but I didn't think ......" The white-haired man said this, and the luster in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Does that mean that if you can recover the shards, it will be able to come back to life?" Mu Lin asked the key.
"Hmm......" The white-haired man thought for a moment, and replied uncertainly, "Maybe." Seeing that he was not completely sure, Mu Lin couldn't help but sigh.
"Now that one fragment has been collected, there may be other fragments scattered on this continent, as an old friend, you still have to find it." The white-haired man said with a straight face, and his eyes were shining.
"Then what does it have to do with the amulet, and how can it be so different?" Mu Lin thought of the amulet and asked.
When the white-haired man heard this, he didn't say much, just looked up at the sky and told the latter: "I'll tell you this when your strength is enough."
"So what's going on now?" Seeing that the fragments were found, Mu Lin asked.
The white-haired man looked at the depths of the mountain, his willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said lightly: "Go to the depths and find you a trainer."
When Mu Lin heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and then ran towards the depths of the mountain.
After a few breaths, he came to the location of the previous monkey monster, but there was no trace of the former here, probably for fear of being killed again.
After a few glances, the forest sped up and headed deeper.
After a while, Mu Lin was about to move forward, only to hear the voice of a white-haired man in his ears: "Within a hundred steps on the left, there are two third-order demonic beasts, one of them has a stronger aura than the other, according to the realm of the human race, they should be in the early and middle stages of the spirit realm."
"If you want me to go to the half-step Spirit Realm to fight the early and middle stages, you are really a good teacher." Mu Lin said with a smile.
"If you want to say that you are really brainless, you can't lure them away and defeat them one by one?" The white-haired man didn't have a good airway. I really don't know if the brain structure of one of my apprentices is different from ordinary people.
"Oh~ I understand, I understand" Mu Lin responded, and then ran to the left.
When there were still more than fifty steps left, Mu Lin could clearly see the outline of the two demonic beasts.
A huge bear monster with skin like black charcoal, on its fat head, a pair of delicate eyes as if it couldn't be opened, narrowed into a slit, and at this moment it was munching on a blurred piece of flesh.
Compared with the former, the other one was not so large, but under the brown skin, the scarlet eyes were particularly eye-catching, and at the moment he was looking at the pasture with a wary face.
Seeing this, Mu Lin was also relieved, after all, this is only the early stage, and it is not difficult to solve it by himself.
Therefore, a flash of killing intent quickly flashed in his eyes, and the spiritual power of his hands surged, and he immediately rushed towards the former.
