Chapter 264: Zhou Zhilan
For a long time after Mo Wunian retreated, the Cloud Palace had been in a state of silence. The empty hall was gloomy and did not sound a single sound, like a coffin magnified countless times, wrapped in lifelessness.
Finally, Lin Yun, who was sitting in the innermost and leftmost places, spoke: "Mo Wunian for this...... What do you guys think?".
"A very good young man, who has been practicing for less than 300 years, not to mention how he has cultivated, is much stronger than Beiji in terms of his mental nature! I can't see through it at all, what is going on in his heart. The palace master in the middle spoke.
Originally, it was planned to let Bei send him to compete with the Divine Worship Clan, but the matter has come to this point, and everyone is actually the same, nothing more than a puppet manipulated by the three of them...... But a good puppet, if you want to control him, you must not only know his appearance, but also know what he thinks in his heart!
Just when Mo Wunian was still in the main hall, he tried to understand what he was thinking through his eyes, but all that this young descendant revealed was calm. A pair of eyes were as quiet as two pools of stagnant water, and no matter how sharp his gaze was, they all sank into the sea in the end.
This is the most puzzling part, because mortals will have emotions coming out of their eyes, as calm as stagnant water, what is this?
"We don't need to be blind to him...... We just need to know that he is a puppet, and whether or not this puppet has an independent mind of his own, he is only a puppet after all...... It's enough to do what we want. The palace master of the palace spoke, and the emotion of the fixed point could not be heard in his voice, as if he was just arraying one thing.
In fact, for the three of them, it is indeed a fact, even if Mo Wunian has some of his own thoughts, they can't snoop on them, and they don't need to delve too deeply, as long as he does things according to the wishes of the three of them, it is enough, on the contrary, they don't mind creating another "Beiji" to replace him.
As for the accident that happened in this competition, it was really a small accident, and there was nothing to marvel at too much.
......
The competition between Beiji and Mo Wunian started in a high-profile manner and ended uneventfully. But after the end of this competition, it was Shang Qiu who was the most emotional.
According to the disciple who received him back, this sword court master didn't know what kind of madness he had, after leaving the mountain gate of the Three Tribulations Sect, a sword slashed out towards the northern sky, and the sword qi turned into a majestic rain, and the mountains in the distance were not only flattened, but also slapped out of the valleys by the ravines and ravines.
It is said that this sword qi has not been cleared for more than a month now......
The news that outsiders were able to be cured was only because the people of the Three Tribulations Sect were disrespectful to Mo Wunian and made this sword master angry, after all, it was the Sword Killing Sect that first showed Mo Wunian the intention to solicit him...... But this junior they value is placed in the Three Tribulations Sect, but how is he treated?
Of course, only Mo Wunian, Xiao Sanzhu, and Gu Jiansheng understood what was going on.
After this incident, the news about Mo Wunian and the Divine Worship Clan quickly spread among the major sects.
Layers of information about him began to be picked up...... But after checking it, he only knew that before he practiced, he was a person from Wugu Village, which was not far from the Three Tribulations Sect.
This is a fake identity, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Mo Wunian asked him to help do it early before Lin Xinan was grounded. Since most people's impression of Mo Wunian before stopped at Suzaku Fengdu, most people believed it.
It's like Xia Ziyan, Lei Yi ...... but they don't believe it, but they are not interested in this kind of deep digging into people's past, but rather, they are more interested in the competition after more than two years.
During this period, all parties were in turmoil, but Mo Wunian, as the party concerned, hurriedly left the Three Tribulations Sect after receiving a message from a summoner on his body.
This news was sent by Murong Xiu, or rather Youlian......
Regarding her movements, this is one thing that Mo Wunian has also been very concerned about recently, but when she and Wu Mu left in a hurry, he didn't know their movements at all, and he could only see that the red line between him and her was getting lighter and lighter through the art of cause and effect, from bright red at the beginning to light red, and then to translucent now.
After getting the news, Mo Wunian immediately left, Xiao Sanzhu did not go with him, he wanted to stay in the Three Tribulations Sect to observe all the movements related to the competition from time to time, and pass on all the news to him.
The location where You Lian sent the message was a small mortal city hundreds of miles away from the ruins of the Nine Realms Mountain, Tianlin City.
It's not that Mo Wunian didn't try to come to Wu Mu and Youlian later, and even he came to this place, but he came back and forth three times, but he didn't know the slightest trace of them, and now they appeared in this place, but Mo Wunian didn't expect it.
In the small city, a small river in the city slowly crossed the most prosperous bridge, the flow of people on the bridge was endless, the pedestrians walked in a hurry, and from time to time shoulder to shoulder collided together, in the sea of people, Mo Wunian still saw her at a glance.
She wore a plain green dress with a mask covering the upper half of her face, revealing only a thin and slightly pale red lip and a delicate white chin.
She is holding a paper oil umbrella, on the small bridge and flowing water, she is extraordinarily beautiful, which is completely different from the previous dress, but this is the most real her.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Mo Wunian felt that he hadn't seen her for a few years, but this time he saw her like a long, long time apart......
Immediately after that, in his mind, the scenes of marrying her were also presented, and seeing her this time, he had more anxiety and apprehension in the past.
But he forcibly maintained his composure on his face, pretending to be indifferent, he still said, "What are you looking for me?"
She took off the mask on her face with a pure and slender hand, revealing a smile that was easy to say, "I thought you would want to ask her." ”。
took out the mask, he saw more clearly, the skin on her face was a little fair, or sickly distressing, a face as beautiful as ever was exciting, but the whole person was a little less ethereal in the past, a little more weak, sick like a west.
Such a face made the flow of people on the endless bridge stagnate, and they looked at the fairy-like woman in the beautiful painting in front of them, and they looked more and more stunned. Some people who are interested in it want to chat with this beautiful woman.
It's just that I look at the man in the clothes opposite the beauty, his face is handsome, and his face is indifferent, but he feels a little cold, and his whole body is full of elegance, which matches the beauty, and many people see the restlessness that has just arisen, and they immediately go cold again.
Mo Wunian walked towards her step by step......
A few minutes closer to her, a slight chill came from her, and looking at her eyes, the restless person seemed to settle down.
Mo Wunian was also worried about Wu Mu, but he was also worried about the state of pity in front of him, and he said, "I actually don't agree with you at all to ...... nonsense."
She said with an indifferent face: "Hu no, it's not you who have the final say, me...... There should be a little more to live. ”。
She didn't say it, Mo Wunian also knew that when Wu Mu's tribulation was over, it should be the time when her fragrance disappeared and her death would be used to fulfill Wu Mu.
Mo Wunian was silent, and he suddenly felt a little distressed about the woman in front of him.
You Lian seemed to know what he was thinking, but he didn't break it, but a hand suddenly came over, pulled him and said, "There is a Wang Ji shop in front, and the knife-cut noodles are not bad, do you want to eat with me?"
Feeling her hand, it seemed to be cold too, like nephrite without much temperature, like the symptoms of a terminally ill patient before he died.
He felt a little sadder in his heart, and nodded without saying anything.
The owner of Wang Ji's shop is a middle-aged honest man who is more than half a hundred years old, these days he has always seen Youlian come to him alone, sit in the corner, order a small pot of rice wine, plus a bowl of knife-cut noodles, eat quietly, and then leave quietly.
He couldn't understand why a girl with such a temperament should be the daughter of a big family, so why didn't she go to a special restaurant for a banquet, but just eat some gadgets that the upper class couldn't look down on here.
But she didn't say it, he never asked, just served her rice wine and noodles, and she was one of his many guests anyway.
Guests coming and going...... Eventually, they will go.
So even if she may have brought his sweetheart today, the owner of Wang Ji's shop only asked her: "The girl is ......."
"No, two bowls of noodles, two pots of wine, and two plates of beef in sauce today. Graceful demeanor, a few words gently spat out of her mouth.
With her arrival, the business of this small shop will also improve, because many young people will always come to see the beautiful women......
But today she came in two people and was destined to disappoint many young people.
Mo Wunian didn't ask anything, just ate quietly with her.
At this moment, in a rouge shop called Chow Kum Kee opposite, a little girl of five or six years old walked out of the store, her facial features were exquisite, her young face had not yet stretched out but she already had the color of the city, and vaguely from between her eyebrows, Mo Wunian saw Wu Mu's shadow.
He said to Youpian, "Is that her?".
She nodded, "It's her...... It's just that, because she is a mutilated elemental god, she is missing a small part of me, and she was born blind after her reincarnation. ”。
Mo Wunian noticed that although the little girl's eyes were clear and beautiful, they were a little less agile and dull when they looked closely.
The owner of Wang Ji's shop didn't hear what they were talking about, but he heard them talking about the little girl opposite, and he sighed and said, "Hey...... This little girl is also miserable! It's just that she was born blind, but she has a gambler father! In a short time, she will probably be sold to Yihong Courtyard!"
Yihong Courtyard, just listen to the name, you know that it is the land of smoke and willows.
The master of Wong Kee began to talk about Chow Kum Kee.
The previous owner of this Zhou Kum Kee was the grandfather of the little girl Zhou Zhilan, who was from a large family, and Chow Kum Kee was still well organized in his hands, and the rouge produced was quite famous in this small city.
It's a pity that Zhou Zhilan's father is a mixed ancestor who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, after her grandfather's death, he didn't do anything about Chow Kum Kee's business, but blindly squandered it, and finally lost it to the present...... This week, there is nothing of value in Kumji except for the store.
If there are valuable things, it is estimated that only Zhou Zhilan is left, the little girl is now five or six years old, but her appearance has already amazed the entire Tianlin City.
I saw that the master of Wang Ji was talking, and a middle-aged woman who looked like an old bustard, with a mean and sour face, brought more than a dozen people to the door of Chow Kum Kee behind her.
"Evil!" Wang Ji looked at it and sighed.
"The ...... of Sex Week
Get out of here for the old lady!Sleep with my girl, and you can't pay yet, when do you want to pay on credit!" The old bustard put his hands on his waist, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he didn't wait for the main owner inside to come out, and now Zhou Zhilan slapped her face, "It's a good seedling, go back and cultivate it well, it's a cash cow!"
At this, her brow furrowed and she smiled brightly.
The little girl was deaf and couldn't see what was happening in front of her, but instinctively she shrank back.
"Oh, my good mother, is my Zhou Kun such a person? Don't I have a daughter? Look at how much silver it can be worth? In this way, there should always be three hundred taels, right?" A man in a gold-striped blue coat with a thin body, two temples and a beard, and deep-set eyes walked out, and he looked at the old bustard with a flattering face.
He is Xiao Zhilan's father.
What kind of character is the old bustard, she has seen all kinds of characters for a long time, she sneered and said: "You shameless! It's still a good calculation, and my girl owes me fifty taels of silver when I slept before and after! I still remember that you still owe 90 taels to the old ghost of Dasheng Gambling House! Just 300 miles, you still want to keep 160 taels to squander? The old lady is only 200 taels! Do you sell it?"
She glanced at Xiao Zhilan again, and felt that her foundation was good, and she also felt that she had just met a treasure, but she didn't want to pay a high price for a bad gambler like Zhou Kun.
"Good mother! My three hundred taels is not high, so if you don't buy it, I will sell my Zhilan to Jin Ye of Dasheng Gambling House! He can become a monk for four hundred taels......
"Ahh
Zhou Kun had his little calculation in his heart, but the old bustard spat on his face with a mouthful of evil phlegm.
"Haha! This little girl grows up to be my concubine, I'm glad to do it! I'll pay five hundred taels!" At this moment, a middle-aged greasy man with yellow teeth and a bloated figure came to the other side of Chow Kum Kee, who was the Jin Ye of Dasheng Casino.
He also brought more than a dozen people behind him, not for anything else, but also for Xiao Zhilan.
Seeing this, the old bustard immediately raised the price and said, "Six hundred taels! I don't believe that you old ghost still want to fight with me?"
The two parties began to argue, Zhou Kun did not speak, but his eyes were full of gold, and he shrank in the corner, watching the two parties continue to raise prices.
The owner of Wang Ji Xiaodian sighed again and again when he saw this scene, and many customers in the store were also embarrassed.
Yu Lian quietly used his spiritual sense to convey to Mo Wunian: "Originally, we were not allowed to interfere in the World Tribulation, but something like this happened...... For some special reasons, I can't come forward directly, so I'm calling you here to solve the matter. ”。
She and Wu Mu are one, if she interferes with Wu Mu's calamity, the consequences will be very great......
Mo Wunian nodded and said to her, "I understand." ”。
Then, under the gaze of everyone, he walked in front of the two people, the bustard and the Jin Ye, and by this time, they had raised the price to one thousand taels.
Mo Wunian didn't speak, but directly took out a treasure bead from the storage bag and threw it into Zhou Kun's arms, and then grabbed Xiao Zhilan and was about to leave.
This random bead was nothing in the eyes of his monks, but in the eyes of all mortals, it was enough to buy a city!
Xiao Zhilan has always been scared from just now to now, but for some reason she couldn't see his face clearly in the face of the person in front of her who was suddenly grabbing her, but her uneasy heart was completely quiet. It's as if the stranger holding his hand in front of him is his relative.
Zhou Kun took the bead and smiled happily, laughing madly and disappearing from front of everyone.
However, the old bustard and Jin Ye refused to leave, and the two people were able to eat both black and white, and soon under their deliberate involvement, the county official was invited. After understanding the reason for the matter, he knew that he could benefit from the old bustard and the Jin Ye, so he was confused and sentenced to a confused case, and was ready to sentence Xiao Zhilan to the two of them.
But after Mo Wunian took out a spirit stone and threw it into the hands of the county official, he was so frightened that he would never dare to do it.
As a county official, he still has some experience, but what is this shiny stone in his arms, and who can use it.
Looking at the elegant temperament revealed by Mo Wunian, he immediately had an answer in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Big ...... Adults, the little ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai!".
Then he turned around and scolded the old bustard and Jin Ye for a bloody sprinkler.
And they also confusedly convicted these two of them of disrupting official business, and rewarded each of them with dozens of boards! At this point, the two of them really had a sense of awe for Mo Wunian in their hearts, thinking that they were some great big man.
When Mo Wunian turned around again, there was no trace of young pity in Wang Ji's shop, and he was about to look for her, when her voice sounded in his ears again: "Between me and her, we can't meet directly...... Since you're still more than two years away from competing with the Divine Clan, take her with you for two years. ”。
Although she has been in a small mortal city for a long time, she always pays attention to everything that is happening outside.
Mo Wunian thought about it and agreed, and in the small city of Lintian, he bought a courtyard not very far from Wang Ji's shop and lived there.
Because of the inconvenience of pity... Later, in order to facilitate seeing him, he chose such a courtyard.
