Chapter 45: Clues (Part II)
"Ah...... Have you met him?" Mu Tangtang's eyes widened, the original surprise no longer existed, and the sudden sense of loss made her look much darker.
Mu Yuncheng didn't want to answer, so he simply turned around and said in a low voice: "It's not early, you better rest early." Without waiting for Mu Tangtang to answer, he went downstairs.
"Hey, you!" Mu Tangtang saw Mu Yuncheng's stinky face, so angry that he stood in front of the door and stomped his foot fiercely, and his mouth was also pouting.
Mu Yuncheng went back to the room and lay down, tossing and turning, and he didn't know how long the half-asleep and half-awake state lasted, and in the haze, he felt that the person next to him was back. By the time I felt it again, it was already dawn.
Mu Yuncheng's mind was dizzy, he sat up, and the bed next to him was still empty.
After washing, Mu Yuncheng came out to eat, but saw Mu Tangtang and Mu Qilin sitting at the big table, waiting for him.
"Brother Mu, you're awake. Needless to say, Mu Qilin's affection for Mu Yuncheng went without saying, he ran over in two steps, hugged Mu Yuncheng's waist and approached him.
"Stinky boy, with you, Brother Mu forgot about your aunt, didn't you? Mu Tangtang glared at Mu Yuncheng, patted the chair beside him and called out to Mu Qilin.
"Come to my aunt. Mu Yuncheng pushed Mu Qilin and asked him to sit back beside Mu Tangtang, and he walked upstairs first.
"You don't want to eat?" Mu Tangtang saw him go upstairs and hurriedly asked.
Mu Yuncheng turned his head and replied, "I'm not hungry, you eat first." I'm going to visit Uncle Song. ”
Mu Yuncheng pushed the door in, and Song Youming was sitting on the bed in a daze. Seeing Mu Yuncheng, his distracted eyes suddenly regained their brightness.
"Yuncheng!" Song Youying's knife-like resolute face also smiled, and he hurriedly called Mu Yuncheng to come over to his side and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but you have grown so handsome." Even compared to your father, it's even better!"
Uncle Song praised it. Mu Yuncheng bowed, and then sat down beside Song Youming.
"I heard that girl from Tang Tang say that you and Yi Yue took a lot of trouble to save me. Song Youming's words were full of shame, he only felt that as an elder, he didn't give anything to the juniors, but this time he wanted them to run around for themselves.
Mu Yuncheng smiled unintentionally, just shook his head blindly and said: "Uncle Song, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and I treat you as if I were my father, what is this." ”
Song Youming bowed his head and was silent when he heard this, but his heart was greatly moved, and after a while, he raised his head again and asked, "Good boy, what are you doing here?"
Mu Yuncheng replied: "We are actually here to play, but we witnessed the murder of the Xinghai Sect on the way, and when they surrounded Jiangzhou City, we planned to participate in the Heroes Conference and join forces with everyone to fight against the Xinghai Sect." ”
Song Youming nodded when he heard this, and at this moment there was a dull pain in his chest, Mu Yuncheng saw him covering his chest with his hand, and he also reached out to help him stroke his chest together.
Song Youming's face turned pale, and he said with a wry smile: "I also came for this matter, I originally planned to kill Lu Xingyu, so that the Xinghai Sect dragons would be leaderless and collapse without a fight." I didn't know that this Lu Xingyu's swordsmanship was so high, I was not his opponent at all. ”
Mu Yuncheng hurriedly comforted him after hearing this: "Uncle Song, you just missed for a while, I think that Lu Xingyu is just a waste of fame." ”
"Can't say that. Song Youming shook his head again and again and said: "This person is of unknown origin, and in recent years, he has led the Xinghai Sect to rise suddenly, and several cities in Lianke Bashu. I look at his swordsmanship quite like the routine of the Three Absolute Palaces of Youzhou, and I don't know if it is really related to the Three Absolute Palaces. ”
"Three Peerless Palaces?" Mu Yuncheng had never heard of this name, but listening to Song Youming's tone, it seemed that he was not idle.
"The status of the Three Peerless Palaces in the secluded capital can be described as pivotal, and the strength of the palace masters of the Three Palaces is even more than a handful of people who can match it in the Great Wilderness.
The original name of the palace lord Emperor Ming was Wu Geng, but he was the prince of the previous dynasty, and his father, the Seven Saints of Heaven, was obsessed with forging swords and abandoned state affairs, causing the first emperor Taihao to lead the army to revolt and overthrow it. When the army entered the royal city, the Seven Saints of Heaven fell into the sword pool, forged a sword with his own body, and made an oath that whoever held this sword should be driven by him to kill all the living beings of the dynasty.
The Seven Dao Saint Heavenly Son was originally one of the best sword-forging masters at that time. When Taihao attacked the city, the sword cast in his sword pool was called the Son of Heaven, which was used to suppress the altar of the Heavenly Gods, and it was almost completed. However, the sudden change caused the Seven Holy Heavenly Sons to fall into the sword pool, and the incomparable resentment generated by the hatred of the dead country made this sword of the Holy Spirit have undergone a qualitative change, and when the sword was completed, the evil qi rushed straight to the nine skies, and the entire royal city was shrouded in darkness. It was also because of this sword evil qi that it was June at that time, and it snowed heavily and could not dissipate for several days. Then the land of Zhongzhou was dry for three years, during which there was no rain, and the people were miserable. This shows the demonic power of this sword.
Wu Geng is the son of the Seven Saints of Heaven, who originally rescued his father and the emperor from escaping, and witnessed the tragic scene of his father forging a sword with his body. And he was infected by the evil qi emitted by the sword of the Son of Heaven, turned into a sword demon, changed the name of this sword to the evil son of heaven, and held this sword alone to kill the royal city. At that time, Tai Hao was the general of the protector of the country, and the red dragon cavalry guards under his command were the first to attack the royal city, and tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry swept away all the remnants of the royal city, but they were blocked by Wu Geng alone, and they were slaughtered, almost all casualties.
And Wu Geng was also seriously injured, fled to Youzhou under the jurisdiction of the demon clan with this sword, and founded the Three Peerless Palaces with the two most famous demon generals in Youzhou at that time, Luo Hu and Ji Du. He cultivated a large number of demon dead, and also contributed a considerable part of his strength to the later invasion of my dynasty by demons. Wu Geng was ruthless and had outstanding strength, and was later elected as the master of the three palaces, which was renamed Emperor Ming. ”
"Ah, the dynasty has been established for two hundred and eighty years, isn't it more than three hundred years old for this Emperor Ming to live to this day?" Mu Yuncheng was really taken aback when he counted the age of Emperor Ming.
But seeing Song Youming nodding and saying: "Emperor Ming entered Youzhou and received the support of the Demon Prince, and even gave him the power of the Demon Clan in Youdu, and he will never grow old." ”
"Never grow old...... Mu Yuncheng lowered his eyes when he heard this, and he was speechless.
"That's why people are pursuing the power of the demons. But there is also a price, which is to abandon the good in one's heart and become a slave to evil. Song Youming shook his head and sighed.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then Mu Qilin pushed the door in, and whispered to Mu Yuncheng: "Brother Mo is back, my aunt asked me to come up and tell you." ”
Mu Yuncheng immediately got up and said to Song Youming: "Uncle Song, let's talk about this today, Yuncheng won't disturb you too much to rest." After Song Youming nodded, he slowly withdrew from the room with Mu Qilin.
