Chapter 172: Night Road
After thinking about Zhou Jingjiang's words, everyone finally decided that no matter whether the Ming Sect decided to fight the Demon Sect together and participate in the tribes, they would invite Wei Zhuang to Huashan.
He Guiliang said: "At the moment, we still have to stabilize the Ming Sect first, at least reduce one enemy first, as for whether the relationship with the Ming Sect is hostile at that time, everything will be said after destroying the remnants of the Demon Sect." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
When Huiwu and the others were thinking, Li Moru and Xu Yuqing had already left Jingzhou City with Mo Xuan'er.
When the cold moon was in the sky and the cool breeze was blowing, the three of them walked along the path and began to discuss what happened today.
Xu Yuqing is the most confused of the three about the change in the situation at the moment, he doesn't care about the Five Poisons Sect and the Wanxian Sect, and Yang Xiao has been looking for him before but he refused, he thinks that Yang Xiao should have discussed this matter with Liu Bihu in advance.
What Liu Bihu and others didn't expect the most should be that Xu Yuqing would turn his back on the Five Poisons Sect for Li Moru, who had only known him for two days.
Xu Yuqing asked: "Brother Moru, I haven't figured it out until now, all this happened too fast, why did all of a sudden all of these sects betray the Wanxian Sect and want to become independent?"
Li Moru arched his hand, "I don't know about this, after all, I'm just an outsider, and it is estimated that Wanxianmen himself knows about this matter." ”
Saying that, the two looked at Mo Xuan'er, under the moonlight, Mo Xuan'er was dressed in a green shirt, like a hibiscus out of the water, not touching the mud of the world.
"It seems that most of the things that happened this time were done by Mingjiao. ”
"Mingjiao?"
"Yes, Mingjiao. ”
"But what's the point of the Mingjiao doing this, and what good is their independence for them?"
Mo Xuan'er explained to the two the origin of Mingjiao, Mingjiao is a foreign religion, originated from Persia, Wu Zetian period was introduced to the Central Plains, Mingjiao's doctrine is to establish a well-fed and warmly clothed Datong society, because its teachings and the existing ruling culture of Middle-earth conflicted, so for so many years the development of Mingjiao has been suppressed by various forces.
Later, he was forced to join Wanxianmen, and with the help of the banner of Wanxianmen, it is now developing better and better, and its strength is much stronger than before.
"Therefore, what they need now is to be independent, they already have the power to develop and grow in Middle-earth, if they continue to stay in the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, they will be less and less recognized by other sects, they don't want to gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty with the reputation of the Demon Sect, I think this should be one of the reasons why they want to be independent. ”
Xu Yuqing nodded, indeed, if according to what Mo Xuan'er said, a foreign sect has been developed here for hundreds of years, and it has not been recognized, and now, it is finally strong and strong, of course, it wants to stand on its own, so that everyone in the world knows the existence of their Ming Sect.
"Then why did the Five Poison Sect and the Ghost Immortal Gate betray the Ten Thousand Immortal Gate, wouldn't it be good to stay in the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and everyone depend on each other for their lives?"
Mo Xuan'er said with a smile: "People in this world are like this, just like people who want to do business, when they are poor, everyone can help each other and support each other, but when the business is bigger, they will have their own ghosts, people's greed is endless, and no one likes to be controlled by others." ”
Xu Yuqing shook her head, saying that she didn't understand what these people thought.
Li Moru also asked: "But what I don't understand now is that in this special period, those so-called famous and decent families are at war with Wanxianmen, and now there is internal strife, isn't it faster for relatives to bitter enemies? Even if you want to choose to break away from Wanxianmen, you must choose a better time, at least after the relationship with the decency has eased, besides, isn't it equivalent to weakening your own strength in disguise?"
Mo Xuan'er shook her head, this is also something she has not been able to figure out, before the Xianmen Conference began, she had been worried about whether those decent people would sneak attack, but she never thought that in this special period, these people would choose to fight, which made her really puzzled.
She thought that maybe there were deeper interests, but she couldn't explain clearly what the specific interests were, and she always felt that this matter was not so simple.
The three of them chatted and chatted, only to feel that it was getting late, and they still had to find a place to rest.
Xu Yuqing asked: "Brother Moru, you say, will those people who let us go before send someone to secretly follow us behind?"
"I don't know about this, although they have had a little friendship, but who can say what is going on in this world, before, I also fought with Yang Xiao and them at the gate of the White Horse Temple with the gates, and they helped me go to Huashan, but now, aren't we still turning against each other?"
"It's really providential, but there is one thing I haven't figured out, since I met Yang Xiao, every time I see him, I have a different feeling, every time, I always feel that I can't see him clearly. ”
Mo Xuan'er added: "There must be a reason, I believe that he can help you like this, and he also invited you to join the Ming Sect in the previous melee, and even let me go so that you can let me go, I think there will be no reason for this, as for the specific reason, you will naturally figure it out when the time comes, and I believe he will come to you." ”
"He's coming to me again? No, we're all enemies now. ”
"Perhaps, it's getting late, let's walk ahead and see if we can find a place to rest. ”
"Good!"
The three of them walked for about half an hour, and suddenly saw a light not far away, which seemed to be a village, so they decided to go to rest for the night, and continue to set off for Huangshan tomorrow.
At this time, Li Moru suddenly remembered Mo Dingjing's poisoning, which is strange, Mo Dingjing was highly poisoned, but Mo Xuan'er did not have the slightest worried look on her face, why is this, could it be that Mo Xuan'er's perception of micro-subtlety really made her an indifferent and ruthless person?
Although Li Moru was a little confused, it was not easy to ask Mo Xuan'er directly, and she always felt a little embarrassed to ask like this.
In the twilight of spring, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the moon is clear, the village is very quiet, and occasionally there are two or three dog barks, which seems more leisurely.
After the three of them walked into the village, they wanted to find an inn, but in the countryside, where is the inn, they looked around, but they never found the inn, so they had no choice but to find someone to spend the night.
The three of them first came to a farmer's house, the farmer said that there was only one empty room in the house, and only one person could be left to live, in order to protect Mo Xuan'er's safety, Xu Yuqing had to stay in the farmer's house, Xu Yuqing stuffed the two of them with some scattered silver, saying that there was a lot of trouble, and second, they came to ask for some wine.
Li Moru and Mo Xuan'er had to continue to search, there were a total of twenty or thirty families in the village, and they found many of them, but they were unwilling to give the two of them a night, Li Moru didn't know why.
"Xuan'er, why is this, how do you feel that these people are avoiding the two of us?"
Mo Xuan'er smiled slightly, the faint moonlight brushed across her face, and the white jade was flawless.
"You don't know this, the two of us went to this kind of remote place in the middle of the night to spend the night, if it was only a man is fine, but if it is a man and a woman, people can't help but be more worried. ”
"How many hearts, what kind of hearts?" Li Moru's face was full of doubts, what is so much about this?
"You don't know this, in the eyes of the world, it is inappropriate for men and women to not return at night in the middle of the night, especially in this kind of remote place, in case we run out because the family does not agree, when the time comes, they will give us a night, which is kind, but if our family comes in the future, they have added a lot of trouble out of thin air, so to speak, it is good to cause trouble, who wants to do this kind of thing. ”
"I see, let's go further, maybe there will be people who are not afraid of trouble, maybe they can?"
Mo Xuan'er smiled: "You, don't talk for a while, you look at my eyes, there will definitely be a place to rest." ”
"Good. ”
Mo Xuan'er led Li Moru to find someone whose house looked a little wider, and knocked on the door gently.
A woman's voice came from inside the room, "Who?"
Mo Xuan'er didn't answer and continued to knock on the door.
Not long after, a woman came out of the house, saw Mo Xuan'er and Li Moru at the door, and asked, "Who are you, why did you knock on my door in the middle of the night?"
"This sister, my brother and sister passed through here, it was getting late, and they wanted to borrow your land for the night. ”
Madame shook her head and said, "I don't have a room in my house, you can go to another house and have a look." ”
As she spoke, she was about to turn around and leave, when Mo Xuan'er walked up to the man and had a private conversation with him, and the woman opened the door wide, "In that case, please come in." ”
Mo Xuan'er smiled and said, "Thank you sister so much." ”
After Li Moru and Mo Xuan'er entered, the woman cleaned up a bed for them, and then turned and left.
Li Moru was a little curious, what did Mo Xuan'er tell her, why did she suddenly agree to stay overnight?" "Xuan'er, what did you say to the eldest sister, why did she suddenly agree to let us stay overnight?"
Mo Xuan'er said playfully: "This is a secret, I won't tell you." I want to know, unless you ask me. ”
"Since you don't say it, then I won't ask, rest early, and I'll have to go tomorrow. ”
"Why are you so curious?"
"The master said that curiosity is not a good thing. ”
"You just say a few nice words, maybe I'll tell you?"
"Forget it, it's not early, let's rest early!"
Mo Xuan'er snorted and said, "I just gave her three taels of silver, and by the way, we eloped." ”
"Didn't you say that people here wouldn't let the men and women who eloped out, why did she let you stay overnight after you told her?"
"First of all, because they guessed that we were eloped, I said that we eloped, for them, it means that I told the truth, and naturally there is less defense, and secondly, you must know that in this kind of place, three taels of silver is a lot, and moreover, there is only one woman in this family, obviously a woman who lives alone, and the life of a woman living alone is far more difficult than you think. ”
Li Moru nodded with understanding.
