Chapter 13: A Glimmer of Hope
Mu Feng knelt in front of the monument, tears unconsciously slipped down his cheeks, Mu Feng supported the ground with both hands, and fortunately supported the ground, otherwise he would collapse. I have never been so tired and weak, even if I assassinated the young son of Cao Yun for three days and three nights, even if it was a two-hundred-mile attack in one night.
The past is vivid. Thinking of the love of father and mother, the scene of a happy family, the more I miss it, the more painful my heart becomes. He hated himself for not being at home when his parents needed him the most. At that time, when he fled Fengqi City, his parents must have been under pressure from all sides in addition to worrying. At this time, he really hated, hated his unfilial piety, his own incompetence.
After a long time, Mu Feng cleaned up his mood, put his hands on the ground, and kowtowed nine times.
"Father, mother, Mu Chong is missing, I will definitely find him. Whoever it is, I swear that they will be buried for you and for the villagers. The tears in Mu Feng's eyes had long since dried up, and they were faintly purple at this time.
"Qiu Shao, just now you looked at these tombstones, did you see a tombstone named Yang Zhixia. Kneeling for a moment, Mu Feng asked. In addition to his family, she is the one he cares about the most in the village.
The two of them have no guesses, childhood sweethearts. It was also because of her that Mu Feng disabled Shangguan Ke, and then fled from his hometown.
"No," Qiu Ming replied after a moment's silence.
For Qiu Ming's words, Mu Feng didn't doubt it at all.
Next to the tomb of his parents is the old village chief, and Mu Feng is also very grateful to the old village chief. The ancestors of Yangjia Village were all farmers, and none of them were famous. The old village chief then tried his best to overcome public opinion, gathered the resources of the whole village, and sent Mu Feng, a foreigner surnamed to Shengyang Academy to study. The old village chief thought at that time that Mu Feng had good talent in the village, and if he could get fame, even if he couldn't, he could train a teacher for the village.
The small mountain village entered the Shengyang Academy, and Yang Zhixia. Her father had made it possible for her to enter.
His father, Yang Dongcheng, was a good speculator and saved a lot of possessions. He spent money to let Yang Zhixia enter the academy, just to want his daughter to make friends with the son of an official giant. Ascension to heaven with a good family chicken dog.
Thinking of this, Mu Feng suddenly became enlightened, maybe Yang Zhixia should have been in the academy that night two years ago, so she was very likely to escape this catastrophe. Look at the cemetery where there are people worshipping and it is not deserted. Therefore, there must be a living mouth in Yangjia Village, and this person is very likely to be Yang Zhixia.
At this time, the sun was setting, Mu Feng bowed to the tomb of the whole village three times, and then reluctantly left Yangjia Village with Qiu Shao. He originally wanted to spend more time with his parents, but now he has more important things, first of all, to find out the truth, to find Yang Zhixia and his younger brother Mu Chong, and the other is to avenge the more than 200 people in Yangjia Village.
Early the next morning.
Shangguan Mansion.
In the hall, Huang Lao and Shangguan Chun were side by side on the upper seat, and Shangguan Ke was supported to sit on the chair on the left.
"Ke'er, what's going on with this Mu Feng? What are your grievances? "For a master of Huang Lao's level, he must know the root of any threat.
"Huang Lao, this Mu Feng is a mountain village man, he has a tyrannical personality..."
"Tell the truth, there must be no mistakes. Huang Lao knew that Shangguan Ke wanted to arouse Huang Lao's anger and avenge him.
"Ke'er, don't exaggerate, seek truth from facts. "Shangguan Chun is cunning and cunning, and he knows that Huang Lao seems to be jealous of Mu Feng. His Shangguan family has completely offended Mu Feng, and this time Mu Feng is protected by a strong person, and he Shangguan Chun has no power to fight with him at all. The only thing he could count on now was Huang Lao.
"Yes, father. Shangguan Ke sorted out his thoughts and told everything he knew about Mu Feng.
Six years ago, Mu Feng and Shangguan Ke studied together at Shengyang Academy. Because Mu Feng's family is poor and his dress is extremely shabby, he is often ridiculed and bullied by other students. In this regard, Mu Feng only focused on studying and basically ignored it. Even if he was beaten and scolded, he was indifferent. Because of this, Mu Feng became the punching bag of the academy. At that time, there was a saying in the academy that scholars had three things a day: reading, writing, and bullying Mu Feng.
There is a 'Shulin Garden' in Shengyang Academy, which is a place for women to study. There was a woman named Yang Zhixia in Shulin Garden, who was only twelve years old at the time, but her appearance really made many students admire. Yang Zhixia respects everyone else, but has an excellent relationship with Mu Feng, and often goes in and out of pairs.
Therefore, many people in the academy are extremely unhappy with Mu Feng, among which the above officials are the most prominent. Shangguan Ke then designed to frame Mu Feng, and even stopped Yang Zhixia halfway to threaten her to be his concubine, Mu Feng was furious and fought with Shangguan Ke and other classmates. At that time, seven or eight people were knocked to the ground by Mu Feng, and one of them was a scholar who knew martial arts from Shangguan Ke.
During the struggle, Mu Feng shattered the kneecap of Shangguan Ke's right leg. Shangguan's family couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately let Mu Feng go to prison. Unknowingly, in prison, Mu Feng escaped and went for six years.
"I was invited by the head of the family to be a guest four years ago, and I also checked Ke'er's injuries at that time. I found out that someone had crushed the kneecap with his bare hands. Could it be that this Mu Feng had already started practicing martial arts six years ago?" Huang Lao questioned.
"Then do you know Mu Feng's background?" asked Huang Lao.
"Does Elder Huang know about the major event that caused a sensation in Chaoyang County two years ago?" Shangguan Ke asked.
"Yangjia Village, is he from Yangjia Village?" Huang Lao was even more puzzled: "Impossible! His family has been farming for generations, how could he practice martial arts, and it is impossible for his son of a peasant to have such an amazing talent!"
The more he thought about it, the more Huang Lao felt strange, there were too many secrets on Mu Feng's body. Perhaps the reason for the slaughter of the village two years ago is by no means as simple as the rumors have rumored.
"Elder Huang, you are an acquired powerhouse, and you are already a person who has stepped into the peak of the day after tomorrow, are you afraid of Mu Feng's hairy boy?" Shangguan Ke asked.
"What do you know, even if Mu Feng hasn't reached the realm of the day after tomorrow, it's not far away. If he is less than twenty years old, he has such skills, and his talent is amazing! Not to mention him, he is the person next to Mu Feng, who is definitely a martial artist at the peak of the day after tomorrow. His murderous spirit is the only one I have ever seen in my life. ”
Speaking of which, Huang Lao became more and more sad, thinking that he had only cultivated for half a lifetime to reach this strength, and that eighteen-year-old boy, even if he started cultivating in his mother's womb, it would only be eighteen years, but he was already at the peak of the day after tomorrow. Why is the gap between people so big?
"Shangguan family master, you have to plan early, even if Mu Feng is not an acquired martial artist, with his strength, he can call the wind and rain in Fengqi City. Huang Lao sorted out his mood and admonished Shangguan Chun.
"What?
