This time he was injured, and Mu Zifeng lay in bed for more than a month.

Yuan Xiaocai would come to see him every day, but he did not tell Huo Ling'er the news of his injury, so as not to worry one more person.

On this day, Yuan Xiaocai entered Mu Zifeng's room on time.

I saw him lying on his stomach in front of the window, his hands supporting his chin, thoughtful.

"Brother Mu, are your injuries healed?"

Mu Zifeng turned his head and chuckled.

"Almost, Lin Danchen and them, haven't they come back yet?"

Yuan Xiaocai shook his head slightly.

"Nope!"

Mu Zifeng showed a solemn expression, and he felt in his heart that this mission was a little unusual.

Yuan Xiaocai saw his solemn expression and asked, "Brother Mu, what did you think of?"

Mu Zifeng sighed slightly.

"Among the immortal army, the forces are intricate, and I don't know if we can step into this whirlpool and finally leave safely. ”

Yuan Xiaocai smiled and said: "With Brother Mu's strength, there are still so many strong people secretly protecting Brother Mu, we will definitely be safe." ”

Mu Zifeng shook his head slightly, walked to the wooden chair, stretched out his hand to signal Yuan Xiaocai, and the two sat down.

"Small talents, above the strong, there are also strong people. ”

Yuan Xiaocai nodded.

"I understand that Brother Mu's enemy is the Immortal Emperor of the Ninth Order of the Dao Yuan, but the Immortal Emperor doesn't know about Brother Mu's existence now, so if you think about it, there shouldn't be a threat. ”

Mu Zifeng sighed.

"I'm not worried about the Immortal Emperor, he is a high existence in the Immortal Realm, and he definitely won't care about us small characters, but the Immortal Emperor is different, if they want to kill someone, it's too easy, whether it's him or his subordinates, there will always be a chance, this is like Lin Danchen, every time he wanders between death, and so do we!"

Yuan Xiaocai said helplessly: "We have chosen this path, there is no possibility of retreating, Brother Mu, are you afraid?"

Mu Zifeng chuckled.

"Afraid, infinitely approaching death, who is not afraid, no one in this world wants to die, especially those who have died once, will cherish the feeling of being alive more. Anyway, it's not that I'm afraid, it's that I can't die, I still have too much to do. ”

Yuan Xiaocai said bitterly: "What Brother Mu said is also true, people always have some things that must be done, if they don't do it, they will lose their lives, what a pity!"

Mu Zifeng gently patted him on the shoulder.

Therefore, Xiaocai, if you have love in your heart, you have to say it early, in this world where death is the norm, no one dares to say that you can live the next moment, don't let everything become a regret. ”

Yuan Xiaocai looked sideways at Mu Zifeng and sighed deeply.

"Brother Mu, I understand, it's just that I'm afraid that she will reject me, if she rejects me, won't we even have to be friends in the future?"

Mu Zifeng shook his head solemnly.

"Xiaocai, even if she doesn't love you, you should also say your heart, what if, she also loves you? You might as well be bold, bravely say your love, with your sincerity, kindness, to slowly impress her, if so, keep scrupling like this, in the end, you will regret it!"

Yuan Xiaocai smiled bitterly.

"Brother Mu, I want to too, but every time the words come to my mouth, I just can't say it. ”

Mu Zifeng glanced at him with disdain.

"What are you afraid of as a man? Do you want a woman to show you love?"

Yuan Xiaocai shook his head vigorously, his eyes firm.

"Brother Mu, I know, in the next few days, I will definitely show my heart to her. However, I always felt that I was a little sorry for Zhang Meng, and so soon, I fell in love with another woman. ”

Mu Zifeng shook his head seriously and said: "No, you are not sorry for anyone, you have to remember one thing, in this world, no one is sorry for anyone, just look at what you think, what a smart person Zhang Meng is, how can she not see your mind, she chose to ignore it, she has already shown her attitude, in her world, you are dispensable, so in your world, she is the same, why should you be amorous?"

Yuan Xiaocai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Mu, the lesson is to learn, but Huo Ling'er is also very smart, she should also see my mind!"

Mu Zifeng chuckled: "Naturally, however, she never showed resistance to you, on the contrary, she will be jealous because of some of your things, this side shows everything, and you cringe, it's really disappointing, women's hearts, we can't guess and can't figure it out, but they are shy, and some words need you to speak, not let her, do you understand?"

Yuan Xiaocai nodded heavily.

"Brother Mu is really my nobleman, not only saved my life, but on the contrary, I still need Brother Mu to guide me in emotional matters, I am really a troublesome person. ”

Mu Zifeng shook his head slightly.

"There's nothing troublesome, you are my friend, and so is Huo Ling'er, I just don't want to look at you, I am timid, and I miss the lover of my life, like that, I will regret it for life." ”

Yuan Xiaocai sighed: "Actually, I really didn't expect that I would fall in love with her, I don't understand, when I fell in love with her, through the last time Brother Mu said, I realized that this woman is an indispensable person in my life, every time I am with her, I will be very relaxed, happy, and without a little pressure." ”

Mu Zifeng nodded and said: "This can be regarded as a Taoist couple, not, you stand behind others, wishful thinking to protect a person, you can figure it out, find an opportunity for yourself, say what is in your heart, tomorrow or the accident which one will come first, I can't know, but what you can do in front of you, just do it!"

Yuan Xiaocai said with a smile: "What Brother Mu said always makes me pause, but I don't know if Brother Mu is in doubt, and his heart is congested, whether he can figure it out." ”

Mu Zifeng knew that there was something in his words, and replied softly: "It is much easier to comfort others than to comfort yourself, just like I can persuade you to let go of Zhang Meng, but I can't let go of the person I love deeply, although it is very different, but the root is no different, the same beloved woman." ”

Yuan Xiaocai shook his head slightly and said: "I know Brother Mu's past, since that night, I have also suppressed a lot in my heart, I didn't expect that Brother Mu has experienced so many things in just a few hundred years, from an ordinary teenager in the mortal world, and now he has become a man who plays with the Immortal Emperor." ”

Mu Zifeng smiled bitterly: "I can't hide it, Xiaocai, sometimes, what I envy the most is not the immortal immortal ancestor, but, in the mortal world, the mediocre, ordinary mortal, when he was young, raised by his parents, when he was long, he married and had children with his beloved, served his filial parents, took them to close his eyes, and he was old, and his beloved, watching the sunrise and sunset, until the end of his life, it was as simple as that." ”

Yuan Xiaocai shook his head slightly.

"This kind of thing, it's simple there, this is not only the life that Brother Mu yearns for, it is the life that countless mortals yearn for, however, the reality is that if you want to love, you can't stay together, when you are old, you can't die well, everyone in the world is bitter, the most bitter is mortal, where is there such happiness as Brother Mu said, as a monk who cultivates to the sky, he can't do that kind of life, not to mention, the mortals on the Xuantian Continent!"

Mu Zifeng said bitterly: "I didn't expect that in this matter, I don't see as much as Xiaocai, yes, as powerful as the Immortal Ancestor, the friends, relatives, and lovers of the year are no longer there, compared to him, I am nothing, just a young man who dreams stupidly!"

Yuan Xiaocai shook his head and said solemnly: "Why should Brother Mu be arrogant? There are some things, only to do and find, this is what Brother Mu taught me, if so, we give up the pursuit, even if we are alive, the only difference between us and the dead is that we can still absorb immortal energy!"

Mu Zifeng said bitterly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've lived for so many years, I'm very tired, I'm very tired, I'm either killing people, or on the way to killing, in the end, my lovers all died because of myself, and my father also died because of myself, I have thought about it several times, if this world does not exist for me, my father, my mother, Wanqing, Fengjing, will they live very happily, it is because of my appearance that their lives have changed!"

Yuan Xiaocai saw that Mu Zifeng's face was pale, his eyes were sad, and he was lifeless.

"Brother Mu, think like this, it's your fault, the world says that destiny, fate, everything has a cycle of cause and effect, your appearance is the cause, and everything after that is the effect, but, this cause, there is no fault of you, but, have you ever thought about it, if there is no appearance of you, their ending will be worse.

Yi Ji was imprisoned in the deep courtyard, there was no hope, your father, no one avenged them, Zhou Wanqing would be bullied by the people of the Wang family, Gongsun Fengjing, he would not meet a lover in his life. ”

Mu Zifeng shook his head slightly.

"No, Xiaocai, there are some things that you don't understand, but I know the reason, you don't have to comfort me, there are some things, I see it very clearly, some people, it is a mistake to come to the world, because he is alone, many people will die, today, that's it, you should go to your Xiao Ling'er. ”

Yuan Xiaocai sighed slightly, he also understood, how could he really persuade the person in front of him? His heart, no one can see through, what he thinks, no one can see through, maybe sometimes, even he himself can't see who he is, how can he listen to his own words.

"In that case, Brother Mu, I'll go, I hope I won't disappoint you this time!"

Mu Zifeng chuckled.

"I played a play for you, and this time, I said so much nonsense, if you can't do it, you will really live up to my kindness, and in the future, I will not say a word about the two of you. ”

Yuan Xiaocai was stunned and nodded slightly.

Walking out of the door, Mu Zifeng saw him leave, smiling, he knew that as long as Xiao Cai said it, Huo Ling'er would definitely agree to him, he could see that Huo Ling'er was everywhere he saw it, how could he refuse?

After Yuan Xiaocai left, Yuan Xiaocai's words just now gave him some inspiration again, cause and effect, the world cannot escape.

On top of life and death, perhaps, it is the way of cause and effect!

Yesterday's life is the cause, today's death is the effect!

However, if you realize this path, you must revisit your previous life so that you can see it more clearly.

Huo Ling'er's dream technique inspired him.

Mu Zifeng set a big dream for himself, this dream, I don't know when he will wake up, he must find a secluded place and concentrate on enlightenment, if this way is successful, his strength will definitely be greatly improved, and it will be possible to kill Liu Sheng.

Thinking of Liu Sheng, his fists clenched unconsciously.

Mu Zifeng opened the door and left the main hall.

In the immortal hall, there are countless people who come in and out every day, and Mu Zifeng quickly left the immortal hall and looked for a deep mountain.

Looking around, no one had passed by.

With a fist of his right hand, a cave was formed.

Mu Zifeng simply concealed the entrance of the cave and set up many precautions, the first layer is the Snow Sword, the second layer is the Life and Death Scroll, and the third layer is the Natal Taiji.

After setting up, Mu Zifeng smiled slightly, as soon as Tai Chi made a move, he would wake up in his dream, and he could be sure that nothing would go wrong.

After paying attention, he sat down cross-legged, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw an old woman with a patchy face.

"Madame, it's a son, it's a son!"

Old woman happy big man.

On the bed lay a frail woman, who was extremely weak and pale, but could not hide her peerless beauty.

She smiled happily and took Mu Zifeng from the old woman's hands.

The old woman ran out of the house.

"The head of the family, it's a son, it's a son!"

Soon, the sound was heard in the house.

Mu Zifeng didn't have any memory, he had a pair of big eyes, looking at the woman in front of him curiously, gradually, the woman's eyes were full of doting, but there was also a heavy sadness. Mu Zifeng didn't understand, just laughed.

When the door was opened, Mu Yetang walked into the house with a smile on his face.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work!"

Looking at the woman and the child on the bed, he smiled and spoke.

The woman shook her head with a smile on her face, and Mu Yetang took the child from her hand.

Mu Zifeng let out a loud cry, he didn't understand why, just when he saw this man, his mood was very bad, very bad, and he wanted to cry! This is the pain of nostalgia, the sad cry of seeing his father again.

"Madam, what is the name of this child?"

The woman replied weakly, "It's good that the husband decides!"

Mu Yetang touched Mu Zifeng's little face and said happily: "Zifeng, how about calling you Zifeng?"

Mu Zifeng let out a laugh, and suddenly, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds.

The woman on the bed, the figure was gone, and no one knew what was going on, but Mu Yetang didn't seem surprised, looking into the distance with a sad expression.

From the sky, a melodious voice came and entered the ears of the newborn Mu Zifeng, but he couldn't understand it!

"I was born for the cause. The identity of the mother was revealed, and she left, for the fruit!"

This was followed by a long sigh.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Zifeng was already an eight-year-old child, and on this day, Zhou Wanqing came to the house with his father as always, and Mu Zifeng happily ran to Zhou Wanqing's side.

The two played for a long time, and then saw the two elders walk out with a solemn face.

A few days later, late one night, Mu Zifeng heard a voice outside, so he got up from the bed and saw that it was Mu Jie.

"Xiaojie, it's so late, what are you doing here, don't sleep yet. ”

Mu Jie had an innocent smile on his face.

"Brother Zifeng, I found a fun place, let's go quickly, it's only interesting at night, and it's not interesting during the day!"

Mu Zifeng glanced at the bed and said entangledly: "If my father finds out, he will scold me!"

Mu Jie shook his head and said, "Forget it, when did the uncle scold you, if you don't go, I will go alone." ”

Mu Zifeng struggled for a moment, but for a child, how could he resist the temptation of playing.

Seeing Xiaojie running backwards, he immediately spoke.

"Xiaojie, wait for me!"

chased after it, and when he reached the destination, where was there anything interesting, there was only one person dressed in black, and with one palm, Mu Zifeng and Mu Jie lost consciousness, and then connected Mu Zifeng several times.

Mu Yetang was at the critical moment of breaking through at this moment, and an anxious voice came from outside.

"Big brother, Zifeng, something happened!"

Spit blood directly from his mouth, anxious in his heart, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly went to the place where Mu Zifeng had an accident.

After fighting with the man in black for several rounds, the man in black retreated, Mu Yetang hugged Mu Zifeng, checked his body, and was relieved to find that everything was fine.

However, the next scene made him never expect that his younger brother, who had always trusted him the most, stabbed a long sword into his golden pill, and then let out a fierce laugh.

Mu Yetang was puzzled.

"You, why are you doing this!"

"Why, you still have the face to ask me why, my father loves you the most, and he is very strict with me, and if you are not careful, you will be beaten and scolded, and you, you have successfully become the head of the family, but I am looked down upon by all the people, why, all this is why, now, your cultivation is lost, I want to see, that old immortal, can I save you!"

Mu Yetang looked at Mu Yezheng, who was crazy, and sighed heavily.

"It turns out that in your heart, you have always thought like this!"

In the depths of the sky, another melodious voice came, and the sleeping Mu Zifeng could still hear it.

"You are only greedy for play, for the cause, and the cultivation of the father is all lost, for the effect. Grandpa's partiality is the cause, and the second uncle's resentment is the result!"

Time turns.

Mu Zifeng was being severely reprimanded by a servant.

Mu Zifeng endured it, but a few days later, the man humiliated the dead Mu Yetang, Mu Zifeng couldn't bear it anymore, and finally made a move to kill the servant.

The melodious words came again.

"The reproach of a servant is the cause, and you kill him for the effect. ”

Mu Zifeng was puzzled, this voice had always been with him, the tone was vicissitudes, but it was very reasonable, cause and effect, left in his heart.

A person entered the place where Mu Zifeng lived, the two exchanged a few words, and the man trampled Mu Zifeng on the soles of his feet and abolished his cultivation.

"The death of a servant is the cause, the cultivation is wasted, and the effect is the effect!"

The voice came again.

Mu Zifeng, who was desperate, went to his father's grave.

A ray of light fell from the sky and entered Mu Zifeng's body, slowly repairing his body, including cultivation.

"Cultivation is waste, for the cause, for the evil and secluded, for the effect!"

Mu Zifeng woke up and felt that his cultivation had all recovered, and he had broken through, and his cultivation was restored, so he definitely couldn't go back to Mu's house, so he had to go to kill the demon beast and break through slowly.

The picture was very fast, and it turned again, Mu Zifeng was lying in the distance, watching a big battle.

The demon beast and the elder of the Mu family were both defeated.

Mu Zifeng slowly stepped forward.

The man threw the sword to Mu Zifeng and asked him to kill the demon beast in the distance.

He feigned defeat and retreated, and with a sword, he took the man's life.

"Cunning in the heart, for the cause, death for the effect!"

The voice came again, Mu Zifeng was already used to this voice, and he didn't care, and stepped forward to take the life of the demon beast.

......

The dream, just like that, has been going on, Mu Zifeng's life has been repeated in this dream, the only difference is the sound of words from time to time in the sky.

Yuan Xiaocai, who left Mu Zifeng's room, stood in front of Huo Ling'er's door in a nervous mood at the moment, with his right hand in the air, difficult to knock down for a long time, and after some struggle, finally, he made a sound.

Huo Ling'er opened the door and chuckled when she saw someone coming.

"Find me, what's the matter?"

Yuan Xiaocai smiled: "Ling'er, can we go in and talk?"

Huo Ling'er nodded slightly.

"Naturally, you can come in. ”

The two sat opposite each other, and Mu Zifeng put his hands on his lap with a very serious expression.

Huo Ling'er thought something was wrong, and said worriedly: "What happened? ”

Yuan Xiaocai took a deep breath and struggled for a long time in his heart.

Huo Ling'er was not in a hurry, and slowly waited for him to speak.

"Ling'er, I have something to say to you that I wanted to say to you a long time ago. ”

Huo Ling'er chuckled.

"What?"

Yuan Xiaocai lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Ling'er, I, I, I like you, can you be my Taoist companion!"

The last sentence is very loud.

Huo Ling'er was stunned, she had already prepared in her heart, but when he said it, the joy in her heart far exceeded her expectations.

"Brother Xiaocai, what did you just say, can you say it again. ”

Yuan Xiaocai said loudly: "I said, I like you, can you be my Taoist companion!"

After finishing speaking, his face was already flushed, and Huo Ling'er also blushed deeply.

"I can be your companion, but ......"

Yuan Xiaocai immediately said happily: "But what? No matter what the conditions, I will definitely do it." ”

Huo Ling'er was shy, and said with a smile: "However, you need to swear, in this life, you must be good to me, you can't bear me, you can make me angry, but you must make me happy in time, the most important thing is that you have to accompany me to old age!"

Yuan Xiaocai thought that she would make a rare request, but she didn't expect her to say this.

"I can, I swear by the heart of the Dao, I will be good to you for the rest of my life, I will not fail you, and I will accompany you to old age, if you disobey, the heart of the Dao will collapse, and there will be no ...... death."

Huo Ling'er covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I believe in you, there is no need to swear a poisonous oath." ”

Yuan Xiaocai held Huo Ling'er's hand, his eyes were full of happiness, and he looked at Huo Ling'er opposite affectionately, and so did Huo Ling'er.

After looking at each other affectionately for a long time, Huo Ling'er broke the silence.

"Brother Xiaocai, how long are you going to look at me like this and not say anything?"

Yuan Xiaocai smiled and said: "I plan to watch it for the rest of my life, just watch it quietly, if time can be frozen here, let us stay together quietly, without experiencing life and death, without experiencing separation, just like that, until we are old!"

Huo Ling'er sneered.

"I didn't expect that you usually see that you are very honest and cheat on girls, and you still have a set. ”

Yuan Xiaocai shook his head and said, "I didn't lie to you, what I said is true, that's what I thought." ”
