Chapter 296 Detachment

It was freezing and snowing. As far as the eye could see, it was completely white. The extreme of the line of sight of the white extension road is more than where is the divide.

In this extremely cold world. A small fortress frozen in ice, very eye-catching.

It was as if a bowl was being upside down on the ground, revealing only a small opening. Mu Chen, the unconscious Snow Girl, and Li Lian are among them.

It's freezing outside, but inside this ice fortress, the temperature is unexpectedly warm, so people can't feel the slightest cold!

This is Mu Chen's miraculous means. Condense the ice and absorb the cold. The cold air inside is absorbed, so it creates a strange situation where it is cold on the outside and warm on the inside!

At this time, it was less than half a day before leaving the underground labyrinth. After Mu Chen took the two girls into the light gate, they were thrown into the ice and snow. Now the Snow Maiden is still asleep. And Li Lian's situation gradually stabilized.

Suddenly, Li Lian was short of breath and was obviously about to wake up.

"You're awake. Mu Chen said lightly.

Li Lian opened her eyes and saw Mu Chen. Then he discovered the surrounding environment, through the translucent ice, saw the ice and snow outside, his eyes were happy, and he looked at Mu Chen in dismay, "We came out." ”

Mu Chen nodded, "Hmm." ”

Li Lian's eyes were full of joy, but more of them were puzzled, "You're not"

Mu Chen interrupted her, "I've always had a clear grudge. You've tried to kill me many times before, and that's a grudge. But when I was in the underground labyrinth, if you hadn't helped me get time to break through, I'm afraid I'd be dead by now. That's well. Although you are also for yourself, but one grace solves all grievances. Naturally, I won't leave you in that underground labyrinth to die. ”

Li Lian nodded, her face became flat, "I understand." Although you rescued me, you will still arrest me and take me to the Imperial City. ”

Mu Chen shook his head: "No." If I had done that, would I not have been unkind and unjust? I'll take you out of the snow, and I'll let you go. ”

Li Lian's eyes finally flashed with brilliance. She originally thought that even if Mu Chen took him out of the underground labyrinth, he would then arrest her and take her to the imperial city to hand her over to Jing Longwei. In the past few days, she had been thinking about how to trick Mu Chen into taking her out of the underground, and then wait for an opportunity to escape on the way.

However, now that she heard Mu Chen unconditionally let her go, Li Lian was at a loss.

"Didn't you always think that I was a demon girl, why did you want to let me go, aren't you afraid that I will continue to make trouble? ”

"You want to overthrow the dynasty, it has nothing to do with me. And I can feel that you're not hopeless. I hope that after you are released, you will not harm innocent civilians again. I can see that you are a person with a story, if you have hatred, go to your enemy, and don't harm the people. Mu Chen said.

Li Lian's eyes widened. Mu Chen's words, if the emperor hears them, the punishment for killing the head is light. As a Jinglongwei, he is completely loyal to the emperor. And the meaning of Mu Chen's words was that he was unimpressed with the reactionaries of the royal family, and even gloated?

Li Lian glanced at Mu Chen deeply, and then said slowly, "Are you interested in listening to a story?" ”

"Listen up. ”

"It was winter. There was a famine in my hometown, heavy snow covered my home, and everywhere was a white expanse. Every family has no food, and they sell their sons and daughters just to get a bite to eat. In that winter, there was no food, and I either froze to death or starved to death. There was a little girl, and her parents were willing not to eat or drink in order to keep her alive, and both starved to death in the end. The little girl was lonely, and her family's house was occupied by a group of homeless men after the adults died. In bitterly cold weather, you can only wander on the streets. ”

Li Lian said in a bland, almost indifferent tone, that indifference only avoided evoking the painful memories. Mu Chen knew that the little girl in the story was her.

"The little girl wandered the streets, leaning against the wall to keep warm, eating cold snow water when she was thirsty, and snatching food with wild dogs when she was hungry. But at the end of the day, the wild dogs in the streets were slaughtered as food, and even the roots of the trees were gnawed clean. Everyone was hungry and swollen, and cannibalism even began to appear in the city. ”

Finally, she was targeted. Targeting her was the group of rogue men who had occupied her house. Because it was her parents' house, she often stayed there. Helpless, she attracted the watchful eyes of the beasts, and one day they took her into the house, lit a fire, and boiled water. They're going to eat her. ”

However, what the group of rogue men didn't expect was that the little girl had awakened her ability at that time. Killed them. After all this, the little girl fell into a coma. When she woke up, she found herself in a warm room, a warm stove, and delicious food. There are maids waiting next to him. Later, she learned that she was rescued by a big man who went to her hometown for disaster relief and was adopted as a righteous daughter. ”

"That big man taught her how to cultivate her spiritual power and gave her the right. And he is willing to help her realize her wish: to build a pure land without hunger, cold, killing, and misery. ”

"That little girl is me. ”

Li Lian finished speaking calmly. Flat and straightforward, without any embellishment, but Mu Chen seemed to be able to hear Li Lian's fear and despair at that time, and her yearning for the Pure Land.

When people are in a desperate situation, they will produce a kind of paranoia. Li Lian's paranoia is to build a perfect Pure Land. Although Mu Chen could easily see that the so-called "big man" was just using Li Lian's abilities to achieve his ulterior purposes. But Li Lian, who was deeply involved, couldn't notice it. This is paranoia.

"He's using you, can't you see it? Mu Chen asked.

Li Lian smiled slightly, like a blooming lotus flower, noble and beautiful, but with a sense of desolation, "What's the matter." As long as I can build a pure land, it doesn't hurt to use me, not to mention that my righteous father has the grace to recreate me. Now Dazhi is under the rule of Li Zheng, the rich and the poor are unequal, the officials are corrupt, and the rich are not benevolent. How many people living in the water and fire are not helped, and how many people are starving, unjustly, and tragically dying every day? If it is the Pure Land that I have established, everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy eternal prosperity. Wealth is evenly divided, and the world is peaceful. ”

Mu Chen's words were suffocated. I couldn't speak. He wanted to defend two sentences for Li Zheng, but he himself had a blood feud with Li Zheng, what else could he say?

Although Mu Chen himself also wanted to overthrow Li Zheng and overthrow the Li family. But Mu Chen knew that the hatred between himself and the Li family of the royal family was a personal enmity. He didn't want to harm the innocent. However, if it was like Li Lian, Mu Chen could already feel a bloody change.

Although the Pure Land depicted by Li Lian was very tempting, Mu Chen's heart was more vigilant. Every earth-shaking change is accompanied by death and killing. Mu Chen just wanted to settle his personal enmity and cultivate quietly. Explore the pinnacle of abilities and martial arts. I have to admit that compared with Li Lian, he does not have the courage to change the system of an era.

Li Lian looked at Mu Chen with hot eyes, "You are not a qualified Jinglongwei, you have no reverence for the royal family." I don't know what it is, but why join forces with me? Your abilities are mysterious and have great potential. What are you working for the emperor for? Money, power, beauty, I can give you all of this! Join my Pure Lotus Sect, you want power, I can make a deputy sect leader and give you as an assistant. If you want money, I can hypnotize a few rich businessmen and give you thousands of family wealth. Do you think I'm beautiful if you want a beautiful woman?"

Mu Chen nodded, "In all fairness. Beauty. ”

A touch of shyness appeared on Li Lian's face, "I can marry you! You and I conspire to do great things, so why can't we talk about it!"

In the labyrinth, Mu Chen's strength was revealed. Let Li Lian clearly realize that Muchen is a potential stock. If you win over Mu Chen, it will definitely have great benefits. She even did anything for this!

Mu Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Even if she already has a love affair with Bai Pianpian, she still feels that her concentration is not enough when facing a peerless enchanting woman like Li Lian. When such a beautiful woman said to herself to marry herself, Mu Chen almost agreed to it.

"No, I'm not going to join a cult. Mu Chen shook his head firmly, "You have your ideas, and I have my way." I can't convince you, and you can't convince me. Money power is just a tool for me. Your background is indeed pitiful, but you are too extreme. Your parents died in natural and man-made disasters, and you just happened to be taken advantage of. I hope you can think clearly and don't go down the wrong path without looking back. ”

Li Lian shook her head in disappointment, obviously only regretting Mu Chen's refusal. But they didn't listen to his advice at all.

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. The atmosphere was sluggish and half loud. Mu Chen stroked the snow girl's soft hair, and suddenly asked, "The injury on the snow girl's body was caused by you." ”

This sentence is plain, not a question, but a question. There was anger in his tone.

Li Lian glanced at the snow girl in Mu Chen's arms, her expression was complicated, and she nodded and admitted: "Yes." ”

Mu Chen's face was furious: "Since you want to establish the Pure Land, then why don't you even let go of a child like the Snow Girl! Not only did you abuse her like this, but she was also imprisoned in the White Tower, and one pass was several years!"

Li Lian was silent for a moment, and then said, "Snow Girl, she is very pitiful, just like me. I hit her for her good. Otherwise, if she let her father's men come, her fate would be even worse. ”

Mu Chen was stunned. As if he understood something, his anger subsided unconsciously. Nodding silently, his tone softened: "I admit that your ideals are great. But it's hard to achieve, in fact, you can"

Before Mu Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Lian: "No matter how difficult it is, I have to achieve it." You don't have to persuade me. It is useless to persuade. I'm still saying the same thing, if you are willing to join my Pure Lotus Sect, we will create a Pure Land together, and money and power are within easy reach, what's the harm?"

Mu Chen shook his head and said firmly: "Impossible." ”

The atmosphere fell silent again, and the two sides seemed to have nothing to say.

The cold wind howled outside, and inside the ice castle, except for the slight sound of breathing, there was only deathly silence.
