After a period of time, a rumor came from nowhere, saying that the eldest lady of the Liu family fell in love with an unknown person at first sight, and soon after she made a personal promise, and then followed the person to wander the world, sleeping and living together. ”

Mo Yuantai had deep doubts in his eyes, and continued: "As soon as this news came out, the entire First City suddenly exploded, and none of those sons and young talents of the family could sit still, either by asking someone, or by personally coming to the Liu family to confirm the news, and the huge Liu Mansion was almost surrounded by water. In desperation, the head of the Liu family had no choice but to come out to explain, but I don't know if he was afraid of ruining the reputation of the family, or the news was not false at all, he insisted that his daughter was just going out to play and relaxing, and did not elope away from home as rumored by the outside world. ”

However, the head of the Liu family seems to have underestimated his daughter's status in the eyes of everyone, and in the following year or so, the people who came to harass him kept every day, making the Liu family restless and annoying. In the end, it was the lord of the castle who stepped forward and ordered to stop the matter. After such a long time, those people seemed to know that there was no hope, and there were soldiers guarding Liufu day and night, so they gradually gave up. ”

"As for my friend, when he first heard the news, although he was shocked and disbelieving, he did not come to the door to pester, as the others did, but visited Liufu once at night, and then came back and hurriedly packed his belongings, and told me that he was going out for a while, and that he had not been heard from again. ”

Mo Yuantai smiled bitterly: "Later, I guessed that he was going to find the whereabouts of Miss Liu's family nine times out of ten! This guy is like this, as long as he determines what he wants to do, no one can stop him, and I can only let him go after my hard persuasion is fruitless." In this way, for three years, I did not hear anything from him. ”

"It wasn't until one day that the disciples in the courtyard went out to run errands and found him scarred and unconscious outside the city, so they carried him back to the martial arts academy for treatment. After carefully examining him, I was surprised to find that his external injuries were caused by fighting with wild beasts, and although they looked serious, they did not actually hurt the roots, and the injuries of the meridians and dantian in his body were the most difficult to heal! Because of this, there was not much left of his Xuangong, and he was almost a wasted person. And the person who shot it didn't know what the origin was, and even our courtyard master couldn't see what kind of means the other party used. ”

"Ten days later, after using countless elixirs, he finally woke up, but unfortunately, I don't know if it was because of the injury or what stimulation, his whole person became confused, dementia, even if there was an occasional moment of lucidity, he just looked at the sky in the distance in a daze, I tried to ask a few times, but he didn't want to tell me anything, just kept shaking his head sadly. ”

Mo Yuantai walked to the table and sat down, staring blankly at the dim candlelight, his voice was full of regret: "Since then, his body has deteriorated, becoming weaker and weaker, and his temper has become capricious, irritable, and very obsessive, all day long is hiding in the library and scribbling, I don't know what I want to express." This situation lasted for a long time, until more than a month before the tragedy of the Liu family, he finally couldn't hold on and fainted to the ground after not eating water and rice for several days. ”

"As he was dying, he held my hand tightly, as if he wanted to say something, but eventually gave up...... A person who should have a great future passed away in obscurity in the midst of misery and desolation......"

Mo Yuantai slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, as if asking a question, as if asking himself: "You say, what is the right thing to do in a person's life? And what is the point of success? What is the ultimate goal of the people of my generation who have practiced hard work? For fame, fortune and status? For family and friends? Or is it to have a little more longevity than others?"

Dao Yuan didn't expect him to be so deeply touched, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "These questions, the disciple can't answer...... But as far as the disciple is concerned, fulfilling the last wish of the Lord of the Sea Courtyard and finding his own life experience is the most important thing, and other things, as long as they are not burning their eyebrows, can be put aside. Manpower is sometimes poor, and many things need to be done one by one, and at the same time, they will only take care of one thing and lose the other, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Mo Yuantai retracted his thoughts, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "My old man sighed for a while, but it made you laugh." ”

Dao Yuan Zhengse said: "Being able to say these words proves that Mo Lao is free and easy, and he is really a man of temperament, and it is too late for the disciples to envy and admire, how dare they laugh!"

"Haha...... If someone else said this, I would think it was a sycophant, but when it came out of your mouth, it didn't give me this feeling...... Boy, why do you say that?"

Dao Yuan smiled lightly, noncommittal.

For some reason, the more Mo Yuantai looked at him, the more he liked it, and said with a smile: "Okay, what should be said has been said, if you don't understand anything, just ask, as long as it doesn't involve the secrets of the Martial Academy, my old man will definitely tell the truth!"

Dao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "According to your old opinion, this painting ...... But does it have anything to do with the eldest lady of the Liu family?"

Mo Yuantai thought about it and nodded slightly: "According to my estimate, nine times out of ten, it is related." I know the temper of my friend very well, and this painting ...... Let's just assume that it was a painting, and it is clear that it was painted when he was sober, and in that case, he must have meant something. It's just that I'm a layman when it comes to painting, and I can't see what he's trying to say. ”

"Have you ever seen or heard anything like this painting? ”

"I don't know. Mo Yuantai shook his head affirmatively: "It's just a few lines, who would use it as a pattern or a mark?!" After finishing speaking, seeing that Dao Yuan was a little disappointed, he comforted: "You don't have to be discouraged, I have rarely left the martial arts academy over the years, and I have almost become a frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know, it doesn't mean that others don't know." ”

Dao Yuan Yixi: "What do you mean......?"

"Leave this thing with me for now, and when I have the opportunity, I will ask the courtyard master and other elders, maybe I will get something." ”

"That's great! The disciple thanked him in advance here!" Dao Yuan immediately stood up and saluted gratefully.

......

......

The first martial arts academy will be famous in the mainland, except for the demon race, the genius disciples of other races can sign up for the exam, if they pass, they can enter the first floor to participate in the Divine Monument, this is the rule set by the first generation of the Holy Emperor, and it has been followed to this day.

It's just that, based on past experience, the mysteries on the Divine Tablet seem to be of great help to the human race, and the effects of other races, such as the demon race and the spirit race, as well as the disciples of other small races, are much smaller, although they are not nothing.

No one knew why, and in the end they only said that it was perhaps because of the difference in their natural physique. Although this statement has not been proven, it is accepted by most people.

The demon clan is born with a strong body and a strong physique, even if it is injured, it will heal and recover quickly, which is very against the sky. The Spirit Race has an extremely keen perception of all things in nature, and using this talent in cultivation can be regarded as getting twice the result with half the effort, like a tiger with wings. The other races also have their own characteristics and strengths, and in these respects, the human race is fundamentally inferior.

However, the heavens are fair, although the human race is backward everywhere, but in terms of reproduction, these races combined can't catch up, coupled with the intelligence and cunning of human beings, so, in the entire continent, the human race is still high and dominant.
