Chapter 142: Becoming a Child
Nine hundred and seventy-eight, the end of December.
On this winter day, the weather was extremely cold, and it was rare to see snow in the Eastern Regions, and the city of Meaux was shrouded in white snow, and it was quiet.
"I said Lao Zhengtou, can't you add some carbon?"
In a tavern south of Meaux, a group of people came back from hunting and gathered here to drink.
"Wouldn't you like a spirit stone, wouldn't it be nice to drink some wine!" the tavern owner came out from behind, carrying a wine jar in his hand, and poured a few bowls of wine for a few people, "Come on, come on, just warm up." β
"You old man, why are you still so picky, isn't it Pixiu, only in and out?"
"Why can't you stop your mouth from drinking?" the tavernkeeper glared at him as he placed the rest of the wine on the table. Instead, greet the guests at the other table.
"If you want me to say, it's a little colder this year, and there are fewer demon beasts in the nearby forests than in previous years, and I haven't gained anything for a month inside. "Most of the people who settle down in this tavern are hunters from the city, and when they come back, they come up here for a drink.
"Who's to say it's not, I don't know that since a few years ago, when winter comes, the weather is not good. The newcomer took a sip of his wine and chatted with the people in the tavern.
Unconsciously, the topic of several people talked about the exchange meeting of the disciples of various sects three years ago.
"On this continent, there are really many talents, the foundation building disciple exchange meeting three years ago was held in the Southern Regions, I happened to be there, it's a shame that you didn't go. One of the monks drank wine and began to talk.
"Isn't it? As fellow foundation building cultivators, how do people cultivate!" his companion also sighed.
"Have you seen that free celestial spirit body, Huo Zijun of Lei Linggen?" The monk at the next table heard them discussing this, and also leaned over to mingle and asked the question that everyone wanted to ask the most.
"Naturally, I saw it, and it was really a young talent!" At the mention of this, the monk who was drinking became interested, "Not only him, but also several people who were at ease! β
Every time the disciples of each sect exchange meeting, Xiaoyao must be the center of everyone's discussion.
"Tell us about this brother, who else?" the monk in the tavern turned and looked at them together.
"This is naturally Huo Zijun first, Lei Linggen's Heavenly Spirit Body, who was not yet forty years old at the time, was already a cultivator of the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, and I heard that he had been in retreat this year. The gentleman's sword in that hand back then is still deeply remembered. β
Huo Zijun's sword, known as the gentleman's sword by the world, opens and closes, the sword points to the thunder, and the momentum is extremely huge.
"There is also the young pavilion master of Yunxiao Pavilion, Shen Kongming, who also performed well at this exchange meeting, these two people together are known as the pillars of the future, and the future is limitless!"
"I heard that Lin Shuyao, who is at ease, is born in the realm and has strong strength, I don't know if you can see it?" The monk next to him put down the wine bowl.
"Naturally, I saw it, the ice fairy who is as cold as frost, and the cold is outstanding!" Speaking of her, the monks here were obviously more enthusiastic, "Xiaoyao Shuangshu, Lin Shuyao and Jiang Yingxiang, one ice and one fire, are also famous on the entire continent!"
"Speaking of which, this Jiang Yingxiang is still from our Jiang family in the Eastern Regions!" The monk in the corner also joined in the fun, "The Jiang family has such a junior, and they are more confident. β
"You can't say that, then our Mo family in Mo City, don't we also have Miss Zhiya? What she got was the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and when she was fully mastered, it would be a big killer!" The monks in Mo City were more or less related to the Mo family, and they were naturally towards the Mo family.
"That is, the Mo family is no worse than other families, and there are many rising stars in the younger generations. β
The atmosphere in the tavern was hot, and everyone was drinking and chatting.
"Old Zheng Tou, did you secretly add carbon? Why do you feel a lot warmer?" The monk who spoke first sat slumped, and before he knew it, it didn't seem to be so cold.
"How is it possible, Lao Zheng Tou is so picky, it must be because he drank wine. β
The monks around him didn't pay attention and continued to drink.
"Old Zheng Tou, how many years has this tree been raised, and it has finally sprouted!" The monks in the tavern drank a little too much, and they all sat there lazily, and when they heard his words, they all looked back at the position of the door.
The monks who often come here know that Lao Zhengtou has a dead tree, which seems to have been struck by lightning, carefully planted at the door, and surrounded by a fence.
"Why did it sprout at this time?" a monk who drank a lot of wine burped and asked in confusion, when the tavern owner came over, and the monk grabbed him, "Old Zhengtou, why did your tree sprout now?"
"You've drunk too much, haven't you? This tree I brought after a great power experienced a thunderstorm, it is impossible to sprout, and it is auspicious to keep it. Old Zheng Tou walked slowly.
The monk rubbed his eyes and shook his head, "No, it's sprouted!"
As he spoke, he staggered out and walked closer to confirm, "Look, it's sprouting!"
After he said this, the monk in the tavern was silent for a moment, and most of the wine was awake.
Lao Zheng took a few steps over, pushed him away, and stared carefully at the dead tree, which really had a bud at the fork.
"This, how is this possible?"
"Don't you think it's a lot warmer around you?" said the monk as he carefully felt his surroundings, "and the aura around here seems to be very full of vitality. β
"It seems really, look at this tree, it's still sprouting. β
They were not the only ones who felt the change around them, but the monks of the entire city of MezΓ© gradually felt the change, and walked out of their courtyard and stood on the street.
"It seems to be coming from the Mo Mansion?"
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
In the Hidden Jade Pavilion, Mo Yu was reporting to Mo Ningyu.
Three years ago, Mo Ningyu took over the position of patriarch, and Mo Yu, as his attendant, was already familiar with the process and dutifully assisted.
"How's Xiao Ling's matter?"
"Patriarch Hui, there has been no progress, you have instructed that you are not allowed to check her treasure bag, we have no way to trace anything, and there is no difference from the previous investigation. β
"Are you sure that her death is not the hand of anyone else?" Mo Ningyu sat there, and his face was also majestic.
"No, everything in the Begonia Courtyard is through my hands, and it is impossible for someone else to assassinate it. β
Mo Ningyu nodded, "But according to her body, how could she collapse so quickly after eating so many pills?"
Mo Yu didn't answer, watching him talk to himself.
"Huh?"
Mo Ningyu suddenly sat up straight and looked at the back of Mo Mansion.
"Patriarch?"
Mo Ningyu raised her hand and interrupted him, "Later, I'll go to the secret place first." β
Without going into details, he walked out of the courtyard and walked to the secret place in the depths of the back, and he arrived there in an instant.
"Patriarch. The disciple of the Mo family who was guarding the door saw him come over and saluted, "But what do you have to explain?"
"No, someone has got married, I'll come and take a look. β
The doorkeeper also knew that his daughter was inside, so he didn't ask much and took a step back.
He hadn't felt anything unusual yet, but his spiritual sense was naturally different from that of the True Monarch. However, soon, the monks guarding the door also noticed the change in the aura, and there was a faint spiritual grass breaking through the ground around the secret place.
Mo Ningyu felt the vitality of the wood system, and her eyes were full of expectation.
Within half an hour, with Mofu as the center, a radius of 100 miles is full of vitality, as if it is spring in March, and a hundred flowers are blooming.
In the sky above Mofu, black-purple clouds slowly gathered.
Inside the secret place, Mo Ghost opened his eyes. Within her dantian, a golden pill swirled on the half-branch lotus, running the spiritual power in her body.
The formation in the cave was opened, and Mo Ghost came to the round platform in the depths.
There was a boom, and the first thunderstorm quickly fell.
Mo Ghost didn't use any defensive magic weapons, protected his spiritual power around his body, and directly met him.
This first thunder tribulation is also called an appetizer by the monks, and it is a good thing to temper one's body. I felt the electricity spread down my skin and spread to my whole body, and I felt a tingling sensation. Mo Ghost Divine Sense followed the power of these thunderbolts, and a faint purple light glowed within the internal organs.
The second thunder tribulation followed, and Mo Ghost still didn't use any magic weapons.
This time, the power of thunder and lightning was obviously stronger, and after entering the body, I only felt numb for a moment, and my broken hair fluttered, like a fried lion.
Mo Ghost didn't dare to be reckless, took out the frostwood sword, and met the third thunder tribulation.
Mo Ningyu, who was in the distance, saw that she handled it with ease, her tense expression relaxed, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and let go of the hand she was holding.
"Congratulations to the patriarch, Miss Twelve has successfully married the Dan, she is really young and promising!" The elder of the gatekeeper monk is also a Yuanying monk, who came out of nowhere, and walked here to congratulate Mo Ningyu.
"Don't dare to be, it's just luck. Mo Ningyu smiled and returned the salute.
Over there, the three thunder tribulations of the Mo Ghost have passed, the calamity clouds have dispersed, the sky has cleared, and the clouds above have faintly emitted colorful light.
"The vision of the Yu Dan is not small, this vitality is really good, presumably it is about to spread in Mo City now, right?" This monk is also an elder of the Mo family, and his tone is full of envy, why can't they take a shot in their vein?
"It's just for the sake of the exercises, don't say that, seniors. Mo Ningyu said this, but her heart was full of pride.
"The patriarch doesn't have to be modest, I remember, Miss Twelve doesn't seem to be even fifty years old, right?" This monk has been in retreat for many years, and he doesn't know much about the situation of the Mo family, let alone the age of a junior.
"On the fifteenth day of July, I turned forty-one years old. Mo Ningyu replied, humbly saluting again and again.
"Forty-one years old?" Before the monk could say anything, the little monk guarding the door next to him exclaimed, and after speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at the two of them with a panicked face, "True Monarch forgives sins!"
"I don't blame you this time, even I was taken aback!" The monk looked at the Mo ghost who came over with surprise in his eyes, since the entire Yunhai Continent was recorded, the earliest monk who had a knot was only forty years old, and a forty-one-year-old monk was also rare on the mainland.
"Ghosts, come and greet your seniors. Mo Ningyu saw her coming with a smile on her face.
The monk stopped Mo Ghost, "No need to be polite, it is also fate to be the first to witness your marriage," he said, taking a storage bag from his waist, "I came in a hurry, and I didn't have any preparations, you take this,"
Seeing Mo Ningyu nodding, Mo Ghost took it with both hands, "Thank you, senior." β
"Then I won't delay your father and daughter, and I will take my leave. When the monk had finished speaking, he went back to his place.
Mo Ningyu took Mo Ghost and walked towards the Hidden Jade Pavilion.
