Chapter 13: Return to Heaven and the City
The appearance of the mysterious woman surprised everyone, but what was even more surprising was Shen Ling's name for this woman, which made everyone confused, and wondered in their hearts whether this Shen Ling was really from a big sect, and there was really a sect behind him.
A dumb woman made everyone even more puzzled, this seemingly extremely ordinary woman in gray, if only in terms of appearance, how could she be called a dumb woman by Shen Ling by Shen Ling, but what made everyone understand was that the title of Guangchong knew that she had a not simple relationship with Shen Ling, but the reason for this was probably only known to Shen Ling.
Shen Ling tried his best to control his mood fluctuations, with the memory before the crossing, he completely recalled that unforgettable face, that familiar face, no matter how old and changed, it was worth remembering for his eternity, because without the dumb woman, there would be no current Shen Ling, but there was still a trace of surprise in Shen Ling's excited eyes, and no one noticed this subtle state except himself.
It turned out that the woman in gray who was called a dumb woman by Shen Ling was the mother-in-law who depended on Shen Ling, she and Shen Ling had been living in Tianhe City and raised her, since Shen Ling could remember, she had never said a word, so she was called a dumb woman by Shen Ling, and it can also be said that she was like Shen Ling's reborn parents.
It wasn't until now that Shen Ling understood that it was not the senior who helped him with the secret shot just now, but the dumb woman in front of him, Shen Ling was very sure of this, he originally hoped that the dead old man would show his spirit, but in times of danger, it was the dumb woman who came to help.
What makes Shen Ling even more puzzled is that the current dumb woman seems to have changed person, and she can no longer find the shadow of the past in her, among which Shen Ling has never been able to believe is her cultivation and speaking.
Shen Ling muttered to himself in his heart: "It turns out that my mother-in-law is not dumb, she is still a strong person who is deeply hidden, how can she speak when she has never spoken, and her power is so strong when she makes a move." ”
Shen Ling was full of doubts in his heart, he had the memory of two lifetimes, although he was happy for the dumb woman in his heart, but he was also guessing the true identity of the dumb woman.
A person who is willing to let himself not speak and act for the rest of his life, how much courage and perseverance must be borne to do it, what is hidden behind it is persecution, threats or unspeakable hardships, and there is an unknown truth hidden behind it.
Ding Dali rubbed his eyes, the shock just now made him come to his senses, and Shen Ling called the woman in gray a dumb woman, which made him confused, but he sighed with joy in his heart: "This is a big profit, Brother Shen is too powerful," his face was full of incredulity, he looked at the woman in gray and then looked at Shen Ling, and said in surprise: "You, you know?"
Shen Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise?" and then looked proud: "I said that I am a member of the big sect, is it good to give people a little depth." ”
Ding Dali, who still had a look of admiration and envy on his face, immediately showed contempt, and had to sigh secretly in his heart: "Brother Shen is not only shameless, but also very pretending, too pretending." ”
Listening to the conversation between Shen Ling and Ding Dali, the gray-clothed woman scoundrel shook her head, and then slowly walked towards Shen Ling.
Approaching Shen Ling's side, the woman in gray didn't say anything, just sighed with pity, stretched out her hand, and straightened Shen Ling's long hair with a messy face, although the hands were slender, they were extremely rough and full of calluses, and it was conceivable that this was a pair of hands that had gone through countless hardships and trials.
Looking at these hands, Shen Ling felt heartache for the first time, when he came to this world, he didn't care if his parents were still alive, but with his previous memory, he could feel how much the people in front of him cared about him, it was a kind of love that was no less than that of his parents.
The current Shen Ling was completely immersed in Shen Yi's emotions before, and a sour feeling surged up in his nose, and he couldn't help shouting, "Mother-in-law." ”
When the woman in gray heard this, her body was slightly stunned, and after being stunned for a moment, she said softly: "Or call me a dumb woman." ”
And at this moment, her eyes froze, as if a flash of luster flashed, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and then a ray of purple light flashed from her palm, and the purple light rotated around Shen Ling, making Shen Ling feel extremely comfortable.
After a while, the purple light disappeared, and the woman in gray withdrew her palm and swallowed lightly, but there were still some doubts on her face, she always felt that Shen Ling had changed a lot now, not only did her cultivation step into the Casting Body Realm from the Condensation Realm, but even her soul power was much stronger than before, which made her a little unable to see through.
But when Shen Ling wanted to ask something again, he was stopped by the woman in gray, who just turned around and looked coldly at the old man on the side, her eyes were extremely sad, full of coldness, and said coldly: "You better decide it yourself, I don't want to do it." ”
The old man of the Zeng family had a sad face, and his composure just now was completely gone, and he trembled and said: "I don't know, I don't know, which noble sect the predecessor is, Zeng Mou has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that the predecessor will look at my Zeng family's sake, forgive me, and I will not forget the amnesty of my predecessor," said and then apologized.
This picture surprised everyone, the old man's domineering and terrible wind just now was instantly intimidated in front of the strong, strength determines everything, and no face can be pulled down in order to survive.
Ding Dali spit on the side and said: "I've seen shameless, but I've never seen you so shameless." ”
Shen Ling also shook his head, in this world where the strong are respected, any requirement is the final word on strength, and the old man of the Zeng family is willing to call his mother-in-law his predecessor in order to survive, which is also a normal thing.
However, the dumb woman didn't seem to appreciate it, she snorted coldly: "You look down on your Zeng family, but it's a pity that your Zeng family's face is worthless in my place, you hurt my Yi'er just now, and you have no life, so you are afraid of dirtying my hands," the dumb woman spoke simply, and directly left no room for the old man.
As soon as he heard his mother-in-law call him Yi'er, Shen Ling only knew that this was his previous name, but no one knew this secret except himself.
When the old man of the Zeng family heard this, his body trembled, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed like crazy, changed his previous humble attitude, and sneered: "If you kill me, my Zeng family will definitely not give up, as the elder of the Zeng family, if something happens, the Zeng family will definitely be entangled with you, don't forget that my Zeng family is also a marquis in the Kanzhou royal family, and there are also marriages with other sects." ”
The old man looked arrogant, stroked his beard and said, "I advise you to stop it, everyone doesn't complain about each other." ”
At the end of the sentence, I saw an arc of light passing through the void, approaching the old man, the old man's face sank, and he rose into the air with a big hey, and his figure quickly retreated backwards.
However, the arc of light suddenly skyrocketed, and it was immediately divided into countless beams of light and went towards the old man.
With a wave of the old man's sleeves, a row of flying swords came out, and the speed was very fast, and they burst towards the beam of light that came from the encirclement, but when all the flying swords touched the beam, they fell to the ground as if they had lost control.
Seeing this, the old man's face suddenly changed greatly, and when he condensed his Dao power and wanted to cast the spell again, the beam of light was already close to him, transforming into countless black lines to bind him, and then an arc was like a giant sword piercing into his body.
I saw that the arc burned like a fireball in the old man's chest, and then there was a scream, the old man's flesh and blood flew sideways, his whole body exploded in the void and died, countless flames fell down, and at that moment, a cloth bag in the void quickly flew into the hands of the dumb woman.
The dumb woman exhaled lightly, her eyes were calm, a trace of sweat came out of her forehead, and her face gradually showed a trace of paleness.
Seeing his mother-in-law's amazing move, Shen Ling sighed in his heart, with his memory, he had never seen his mother-in-law make a move, but at the same time, he had never seen his mother-in-law pale.
Shen Ling stepped forward and said worriedly, "Mother-in-law, are you okay, why have you become so strong that you can still speak." ”
The woman in gray glanced at Shen Ling, and said angrily: "I said that I am still used to you calling me a dumb woman, and I will talk about the rest later." ”
Saying that, she said sharply to Shen Ling: "Yi'er, hurry, go with the dumb woman immediately, this is not a place to stay for a long time." ”
As she spoke, the dumb woman's eyes swept over everyone with coldness, and finally her eyes fell on Ding Dali, and asked, "You don't seem to be a slave." ”
Without waiting for Ding Dali to reply, she continued: "I don't care who you are, today for the sake of you saving my family Yi'er, I will surround you from death, but if you leak today's affairs, no matter where you are, only death awaits you." ”
Ding Dali wanted to defend something, but the dumb woman's gaze held back what he wanted to say with coercion, but his eyes were complicated and he felt speechless for a while.
When Shen Ling wanted to say a few words, the dumb woman jumped lightly, she was already in the void, she turned around, and said sharply to the group of slaves: "No way, I have to give you a ride," as she said that, her fierce light was revealed, her face was ruthless, and a violent firework suddenly rose in her palm, turning the sky above the feature film red, and the scorching air wave made the surroundings suddenly hot.
The more than 20 slaves, frightened, knelt down and begged for mercy, they didn't want to die.
At that moment, Shen Ling's heart was extremely shaken, in his heart the dumb woman has always been like a kind and simple mother, but now he can't understand it at all, he Shen Ling kills people by killing others and deceiving them, and killing innocent people indiscriminately, he can't do it, which has the bottom line of being a man in his heart.
Maybe the dumb woman wanted to kill people and kill her mouth, and didn't want to cause necessary trouble, but at the moment when the dumb woman finished speaking, he seemed to see a trace of tears soaked in the corners of her eyes, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart, which also made Shen Ling understand that the dumb woman must have her bitterness in doing this.
At this critical moment, Shen Ling jumped out and blocked in front of everyone, which surprised everyone, and everyone didn't expect Shen Ling to intercede for them.
Shen Ling looked at the dumb woman in the sky and pleaded: "Mother-in-law, these people are innocent, let's let them go, Yi'er knows what you're worried about, but Yi'er knows that indiscriminate killing is against heaven, you shouldn't do this for Yi'er's sake." ”
Then he pointed to a group of people behind him: "Although they are greedy for life and afraid of death, life and death should be decided by them, and besides, they have taken the Zeng family's poison pill, life and death depend on their own creation, why should my mother-in-law be this wicked person." ”
The gray-clothed woman's bright eyes moved slightly, her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and Fang Cai's words made her feel more and more that her Yi'er seemed to have changed into a different person.
After hesitating for a while, the woman in gray sighed and said, "Yi'er, you are still young, you don't understand the sinister nature of this world at all, and your mother-in-law naturally has a reason to kill them." ”
Then she sighed softly, "Let them go," she said aloud to the crowd, "I hope you will forget everything that happened today in the future, and if anyone takes advantage of this rumor, be careful of your heads," she said as she threw a cloth bag on the ground and said coldly: "This is the antidote to the Zeng family, everyone take it and get out immediately." ”
After hearing this, a group of slaves knelt down to thank them for not killing them like amnesty, and then everyone took the cloth bags and took the antidote one by one and fled in a hurry, leaving only Shen Ling, Ding Dali and the dumb woman in the field.
After the crowd dispersed, the dumb woman glared at Ding Dali on the side and said, "Why don't you leave." ”
Ding Dali tiptoed and said, "I want to follow my brother Shen all the time, of course I won't leave." ”
Shen Ling glanced at Ding Dali, and said calmly: "There is no banquet in the world, you and I are brothers now, and we will be brothers in the future, no matter the end of the world, it is better for you and me to be separated for the time being, this is beneficial to everyone, and now is not the time for you to follow me," Then Shen Ling patted him on the shoulder again and said: "Remember to live well, mix up, you and I will naturally meet again." ”
Ding Dali said with a reluctant face: "Okay, I will go to Kanzhou, when the time comes, we will see you in Kanzhou, call Brother Shen, I have been Brother Shen for a lifetime," said the two of them clapped their hands tacitly, and then Ding Dali got up and flew south.
After Ding Dali left, the woman in gray walked in front of Shen Ling and said, "Although he is talented, he will have less contact with him in the future." ”
Shen Ling smiled bitterly: "Mother-in-law, are you afraid that Yi'er will suffer?"
The woman in gray was stunned, and then said: "Yi'er, remember that we should not be exposed to the world, but now it seems..." ”
Shen Ling was confused by what she heard, and she always felt that the current dumb woman was weird, and she could see from her words and deeds that she was worried about something.
Seeing Shen Ling's puzzled face, the woman in gray said, "Yi'er, it's time for us to go." ”
Shen Ling reacted and asked, "Mother-in-law, where are we going now?" ”
The woman in gray was stunned for a moment, and sighed in her heart: "Yes, where can I go now," but she unconsciously said four words: "Back to Tianhe City," said a whirlwind, and in an instant the figures of the two disappeared in this desert place, leaving only the wind whistling, and no one knew what had happened here.
