Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Ghost Shadow

The fifth floor of the demon is standing in front of a peach forest at this moment.

This peach forest is in the depths of the mountains, inaccessible, it is the late autumn season at this time, and the dead leaves all over the ground can not hide the colorful fallen flowers that once fell all over the place, it is completely conceivable that when the spring flowers bloom, the peach blossoms here are continuous into pieces, what a gorgeous beauty.

It's a pity that it's late autumn.

The bare peach forest is growing at the moment, which makes people feel a sense of depression when they look at it.

There is a small stone tablet standing in front of the peach forest, which is engraved with a song by Qin Guan in the Song Dynasty:

Drunk and light boat, the letter leads to the depths of the flowers.

The dust is wrong, and there is no plan to live between flowers.

The smoke and water are vast, and the sun is twilight for thousands of miles.

There are countless mountains, red like rain, and I don't remember the way I came.

The handwriting dragon and phoenix dance, the atmosphere is magnificent, but there is a kind of arrogance that breaks through everything, the world is rich and noble like floating clouds, and it is not as good as this splendid peach forest in front of you.

What a "don't remember the way you came"!

The fifth floor of the demon stood silently in front of the stone stele, looking at this unruly and wild handwriting, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even if you want to enjoy your family in this paradise and have no quarrel with the world, but how can others really forget you?

In fact, a person's life is completely determined by himself.

With a sigh, the fifth floor of the demon slowly walked into the depths of the peach forest.

In the middle of the peach grove, there is a hut.

Or rather, there used to be a cottage.

Today, all that remains is ruins and ruins.

It seems that no one has been here for at least a decade.

The fifth floor of the demon stood silently at the ruins, stood dumbfounded for a moment, and turned to face a small mound in front of the ruins.

The small mound was not large and looked like a wild grave, but it was now hidden in a mess of weeds, and there were no tombstones.

I don't know who is lying lonely in it?

Mo Wulou may know the person buried here, but he didn't bring incense, candles, and paper money, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of worshipping and sweeping the tomb, or perhaps, he didn't dare.

He just stood in front of the grave with his head bowed, his eyes closed, and stood still for a long time.

I don't know what was going on in his mind, but I could see that he not only knew the person lying in the grave, but also knew him well.

It took a long time for the fifth floor of the demon to open his eyes, but there was a resolute look in his eyes.

He walked to the grave, suddenly pulled out the dark magic knife at his waist, crouched down, and began to dig in the weeds in front of the grave.

Could it be that there's something buried here?

Whatever it is, look at this long weed, it has been buried for at least ten years.

However, it doesn't look like it's buried very deeply. After a while, he reached out and pulled out a wooden box covered with dirt from the pit.

The fifth floor of the demon carefully wiped the soil from the wooden box, and when it was opened, there was only a black cloth towel inside!

Mo Wulou took the cloth towel in his hand and unfolded it, it was a one-foot-square cloth towel of unknown material, which looked as smooth as silk, with a black background, but a pattern was embroidered with golden silk thread in the center.

The pattern looked familiar, like, like a dragon about to fly!

This dragon pattern is exactly the same as the huge statue in the Huashan Secret Cave, as well as the dragon pattern on Ye Feng's back, which appears from time to time!

The fifth floor of the demon was holding this square cloth towel, looking at the golden dragon pattern, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He wasn't surprised in the slightest, but there seemed to be some stupidity in his expression.

He looked at this square scarf so stupidly, for a long time, suddenly his whole body was shocked, as if he had noticed something, he held the square scarf in his hand, turned his head sharply and asked, "Who is it?"

As soon as his words fell, a black figure suddenly appeared not far in front of him, and he couldn't see what kind of body he was using, as if he appeared there out of thin air, just like a ghost!

The pupils of the fifth floor of the demon were contracting, and he knew the person in front of him: "It's you?"

The ghostly man in black had a pale face

A faint smile: "Naturally, it's me." There are not many people who can find me, it is really worthy of your Demon Sword Demon Fifth Floor, it seems that I haven't seen you for many years, and your martial arts have not regressed at all. ”

Mo Wulou's face showed an extremely disgusted expression, as if he didn't like the person in front of him very much: "Why are you here?"

The man in black smiled and said, "Naturally, I followed you all the way here." Even I didn't expect you to return to the old land more than 20 years ago. ”

He looked left and right, and said faintly: "This place is a little more desolate than more than 20 years ago, but nothing has changed, recalling that when we came here together, it was still a sea of blooming peach blossoms, it's so beautiful!"

He seemed to be thinking back to the beautiful scenery of the past, and a hazy smile appeared on his face.

Mo Wulou's brows furrowed: "You followed me all the way?"

He looked warily into the woods.

The man in black smiled faintly: "Don't worry, there is no one else but me, besides, if that person really wants to deal with you, no matter how many little minions come, it is useless." ”

The fifth floor of the demon snorted coldly: "He sent you to deal with me?"

The man in black hurriedly shook his head: "I don't mean that, he just asked me to follow you and see your whereabouts." To deal with your Demon Sword Demon Fifth Floor, I'm afraid it's still far away. ”

This was half honest and half complimentary, and the face of the fifth floor of the demon softened a little, and he snorted and said: "But your ghost shadow's light skills are unparalleled in the world, and I have no way to take you." ”

The man in black who was called the ghost shadow sighed faintly at this time, and said: "Even if you have your good junior brother as a guasurance, do you think that person will really believe in you so much? You are Ye Feng's kid's master, which is equivalent to pinching that person's most important lifeline, how can he not be wary of you?"

Mo Wulou nodded and said, "So, he sent you to spy on me?

As soon as he asked, he suddenly woke up and asked, "Could it be that he also holds what lifeline of yours he has?"

The ghost shadow didn't speak, just sighed and nodded.

The fifth floor of the demon was a little silent, and it seemed that in the eyes of that person, they were just pawns in his hands.

After a long time, the ghost shadow sighed, "There are not many people who came here to do this for him back then, but now there are not many people still alive. But I never thought that you would be so bold as to secretly bury the cloth on that kid's swaddling clothes here. Have you been thinking about leaving a way out for yourself since then?"

Mo Wulou lowered his head and looked at the square scarf in his hand, and sighed: "His methods, we know too well, a character like him, if we don't have anything to save our lives in our hands, we are afraid that sooner or later we will end up in pieces." ”

The ghost shadow was silent for a moment, and he probably felt that what the fifth floor of the demon said was indeed the truth, and only after a moment did he ask: "Then what are you going to do when you dig him out again?" Do you want to reveal everything to that kid and tell him his true background?"

Mo Wulou still lowered his head and looked at the square scarf in his hand, but did not answer.

The ghost shadow seemed to acquiesce to him, and said a little anxiously, "You have to think clearly, have you considered the consequences of doing this?"

Demon Fifth Floor Huo Ran raised his head, his eyes were full of light, and said, "What are the consequences? Do I still cherish my life and be afraid that he will deal with me? The reason why I chose to help him and join his plan back then was not for myself at all. ”

"If it weren't for him using my Momen's safety to threaten each other, and painting us a beautiful picture of the future, how could I be afraid of getting involved in Momen, deliberately losing to Moqizhong in the competition, and giving up the position of the giant?"

"Later, I did not hesitate to bear the infamy, betrayed Momen, and even changed my surname, which was called the magic knife in the rivers and lakes. It doesn't matter what others think of me, I just hope that Momen can continue safely and well, worthy of the ancestors of the Mo family. ”

"But now that Mo Qizhong is terminally ill, Momen is about to be leaderless, facing an existential crisis, and the wrong things I did back then are now retribution on Momen's body. To this day, will I still cherish this cheap life of my own?"

He said so much in one breath that he felt like he had spit out the block in his chest, and his heart suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The ghost shadow seems to have been with the fifth floor of the demon for many years, and naturally knows the reason behind the reason why he wanted to give up the position of the giant in the first place, and even did not hesitate to betray the ink gate, and when he heard his words, he was also silent.

It took a long time before he whispered: "Whether what we did back then was right or wrong, it seems too early to judge, right?"

Mo Wulou said coldly: "Do you still believe the so-called beautiful future he described to us back then, and think that everything we did was right? Twenty years, we have not seen any beautiful future, and many innocent people have died because of it." ”

He pointed to the small mound on the side and said with some excitement: "What did they do wrong to the couple lying here?

"On Mount Hua, the people who were slaughtered by Xuanyuan Gongzi and his men, do they deserve to die? And over the years, because of that person's plan, these rivers and lakes have caused these disputes, do they deserve to die?"

"The most innocent is Ye Feng's kid, he has become a pawn of others since he was born, his life is to be manipulated by others and used by others, should this also be?"

Looking at the fifth floor of the demon who was a little excited, the ghost shadow raised his voice and interrupted him: "Even if what you said makes sense, even if you have no scruples now, don't you think about your good apprentice?"

The fifth floor of the demon was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"

The ghost shadow said in a deep voice: "I know that this apprentice of yours was brought up by you since childhood, and he is like father and son, but have you thought about it, why can he live to this day?

The fifth floor of the demon was shocked and fell silent.

The ghost shadow continued, "All these years, all the plans, all the people have revolved around him, and he is the core of that person's plan. That's why he's alive today, because he's still useful to that person!"

"If you tell him the truth, do you think he will continue to do what that man has planned? You ruined the plan and made him useless to that man, how long do you think he will live? Aren't you pushing him to his death with your own hands?"

He looked at the silent Fifth Floor of the Devil, and sighed softly: "Don't forget, for him, once he knows the truth, we, including you, the master, will immediately become his enemies, do you really want to become like this?"

Mo Wulou still didn't speak, but the square scarf in his hand was clenched tighter.

Knowing that he had understood what was at stake, the Ghost Shadow let out a long breath and said, "Think about it yourself! As the old saying goes, ignorance is bliss!"

The fifth floor of the demon sighed and lowered his head.

The ghost shook his head and said, "Alright, I'm leaving." That man is still waiting for me to report your whereabouts to him!"

After a pause, he added, "Don't worry, I won't tell him everything I saw today, neither you nor I have been here today, and we have never talked. ”

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

The fifth floor of the demon raised his eyes and looked at his figure, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he suddenly said, "I have seen your apprentice before. ”

The figure of the ghost shadow about to leave stopped, and let out a somewhat surprised "oh?".

Mo Wulou said: "It's the little fat man from the British public family, the one who mixes with me all day long." ”

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked: "Then again, you are alone, he is your only heir, could he be your lifeblood?"

The back of the ghost shadow shook, and finally he didn't speak.

Suddenly, his figure disappeared out of thin air, as suddenly as he appeared, like a ghost.

Only the fifth floor of the demon was left here, and he was still holding the square scarf tightly in his hand, muttering in his heart what the ghost shadow had said earlier.

Ignorance is bliss!
