Volume 2: The Clouds Rise Chapter 14: What is the darkness of the night?
"The hole cover is green, and the comet is on the nine heavens.
God's grace is vast, Ze is full of sentient beings, eternal firmament, only I am immortal!"
"Eternal firmament, only my god is immortal!"
"Eternal firmament, only my god is immortal!"
.........
In the ancestral temple of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, hundreds of people stood up and down, meticulously and meticulously.
As the celebrant finished pronouncing the eulogy, led by the general Mu Teng, everyone bowed down to the solemn statue in the temple.
The ritual music then rises, warm and moist into the ears, and the aftermath lingers around the beam, which has not dispersed for a long time, and even the sandalwood unicorn carved on the rafter beam is fascinated by it.
Today is the thirteenth birthday of Mu Wenbai, the son of the general of the town of Chaozhen, according to the custom, he must perform the "dancing spoon" ceremony for him in the ancestral temple, praise Si Ming Niangniang, and thank him for his kindness.
The tedious process rotated one after another, and it was not until sunset that the general's mansion at the end of the sacrifice held a feast to entertain the civil and military officials who came to congratulate them.
And Mu Teng, the majestic general on weekdays, is shuttling between countless mountain delicacies, pushing cups and exchanging lamps with hundreds of officials, so it is not lively.
Compared with the dim lights in the front hall, the courtyard of the young lord Mu Wenbai was unusually quiet.
Mu Wenbai, who is the main owner, is dressed in red, his face is like a crown of jade, and his hair is like snow, which makes people feel amazing.
I don't know how many gold and nobles will be in this royal city in a few years, and they will break off the cinnamon branches to complain of lovesickness.
Of course, these are gossip, there is a clear small pond in the yard, and the boy sits on the edge of the pond without any expression, revealing a sense of maturity that is very contrary to his age.
The young man took a towel, dipped it in the water of the pond, and carefully wiped a strange horizontal knife in his hand, very seriously.
It is said that the autumn is high and cool, and the bright moon is not willing to be lonely, reflected in the pond, on the blade, and between the young man's silver hair.
This scene is obviously beautiful, but it makes people feel the chill invisibly.
"The army is pressing, and all of them are waiting outside the city at night, and tonight the incompetent waste wood emperor is finally going to die!"
The voice came from behind Mu Wenbai, but he was not surprised, he knew who was speaking.
A man stood in the gazebo beside the pond, leaning against the vermilion pillar, hiding in the shadow of the moonlight, looking at the young man wiping the blade by the pond.
Seeing that Mu Wenbai didn't talk, the man said again: "Are you soft-hearted?"
The blade of the knife was immersed in the clear water, and the ripples shattered the reflection of the moon, scaring away several fish who wanted to "pick the moon".
Mu Wenbai didn't care about the corners of his clothes that were wet by the pool water, but said a little reluctantly: "Although I know it's fake, I'm still a little reluctant, after all, it feels really good to have relatives!"
The man said: "Dreams always have to wake up, and you can almost get it when you do it, and the longer you wake up, the more painful it will be!"
"So are you sure?" asked Mu Wenbai.
When the man heard this, he poked his head out of the shadows, revealing a childish face as well.
"I've been thinking about it for thirteen years, trying it, and in the end I feel that this is the only way to do it. ”
"What if it's useless?" Mu Wenbai held a towel in his hand, staring at the few bubbles that occasionally popped up in the pond.
"Then try again! It's better than nothing at all. ”
The young man in the pavilion laughed when he heard the words, smiled very happily, and showed a pair of shallow pear vortices on his face, but it was a pity that he was a man, and he was not good-looking, so it was wasted.
Mu Wenbai didn't look back, naturally he couldn't see this scene, but continued to ask: "Do you want to kill everyone in the world?"
But the man replied, "So what? It's fake anyway, and besides, you killed less in comparison?" Don't tell me that you picked up that murderous aura!"
"How do you know?"
Mu Wenbai got up and stared at the other party unkindly, shocked in his heart, he had never told anyone about those things.
"Okay, okay, don't react so much, you'll understand later!" said the young man in the pavilion and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "Those guys should have almost arrived, right?"
I don't know if it was the crickets hidden there, and suddenly they were screaming in the courtyard, and they were so frightened that a lot of dew fell on the weeds by the pool.
"It's been a long time, you two!"
If you don't see them, you hear them first. Five or six figures climbed over the wall of the side courtyard, and came to the grass behind Mu Wenbai in a few ups and downs.
Except for one person who didn't move, the other people all brushed down the hat that blocked the surface, revealing immature faces, four women and one man, which made people feel surprised in this dark night.
It is even more unthinkable that today's immature teenagers are actually rebellious murderers when they get together.
The young man in the pavilion also jumped into the crowd, but at this time he looked curiously at the man who was covered in a wide black robe and did not move.
Seeing his appearance, the others were also the same.
"Look at what!" came a pleasant female voice from the burly figure, and her voice was as pure as a child's.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
The young man who came out of the pavilion replied to the other party casually, looking indifferent, but when the other party was not paying attention, he ripped off the other party's black robe.
It was night, the world was very quiet, even the fish in the pool seemed to be still, and the crickets that were still chirping just now stopped making a sound.
"Hahahahaha!!"
The silence was followed by maniacal laughter.
There were a total of eight people in the field, except for Mu Wenbai and the other two brothers who looked exactly the same, the other four people all laughed like killing pigs, but the three of Mu Wenbai, who didn't laugh, also endured extremely hard.
If you just listen to the sound, it will definitely make many people think about its owner and imagine the appearance of a delicate and gentle girl.
But it is estimated that many people can't imagine that the owner of the voice is actually a burly "strong woman" with a tiger's back.
Why a strong woman?
Because although he has a beautiful face, red lips and white teeth, and looks very cute, it is limited to the head.
Below the head, there is the neck of the green tendons, and then down, the back of the shoulders is like a door panel, the long wall is like a pine, and the two fists are fighting.
In addition, a black iron armor glittered in the moonlight, reflecting the well-developed muscles, and a brute air rushed towards the face, no wonder it would frighten the crickets in the bushes not to squeak.
If it weren't for her voice, and the two familiar waist-length double ponytails. It's hard to imagine that this guy with fire-breathing eyes and even breathing and nose hair swaying wildly is the guy he was familiar with before.
"Hahahaha!! Hua Xiaoyu, Hua Xiaoyu, I have long heard that you have been reincarnated in this fantasy world, but I didn't think about it...... I didn't expect it to be so shocking!"
The young man who spoke covered his stomach and rolled on the ground with a smile, no longer having the same demeanor as he had chatted with Mu Wenbai in the pavilion before.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by the "girl" who was "tiger-backed" and fell into the pond.
The people who can be kicked by Hua Xiaoyu so presumptuously are naturally the same as the mound, and a few people are Yue Dongxue and his party who entered the Yanchi cave, and this so-called young master of the General's Mansion, Mu Wenbai, is Yue Dongxue himself.
Everyone had lost consciousness since they entered the green hole under the broken demon tree.
When they woke up, they were horrified to find that they had been reborn as newborn babies. Not only that, there are no cultivators in this world, there are only empires, and the aura is pitifully thin, which is very fatal.
Several people were born on the same day, but they were all on different sides, except for some features, their faces changed and their identities were very different.
Yue Dongxue became the young master of the General's Mansion, Tsukasa Wuji was the son of his father's deputy general, the Gai brothers became Orion, the Snow Ghost became a thief, and Dan Xiu and Liu Qianxun were born by a wealthy merchant's big house and second house at the same time.
As for Hua Xiaoyu, her identity is unknown, but I heard that she was raised by several apes, so it's no wonder that she looks like this.
In addition to being shocked, everyone also temporarily accepted the current changes and pondered the cause and effect.
Tsukasa Muji and Yue Dongxue themselves are close, so the two converged early, and after many attempts, it was finally confirmed that several people had fallen into the illusion.
Fortunately, Yue Dongxue is the young master of the General's Mansion, and there is only one empire in this world, so with the power of the General's Mansion, the two secretly carried out various actions while looking for the rest of the people.
Although the process took several years, the couple was able to reunite without any danger.
More than ten years have passed in the illusion, but the real time is not known to a few people, and they can't leave this illusion after trying various methods, it seems to be a real world.
In the end, Tsukasa Muji was sure that this was a false realm built by a great cultivator!
The so-called "false realm" is just a spiritual illusion constructed by the source spirit after the great cultivator reaches a certain level, which simply means that they have been attacked by the spirit and sealed in the other party's mind, which is a very ancient method.
And this empire rules the world, and in this country, everyone worships the "gods", believes that the gods created everything, and everyone has a crazy and blind belief in the gods.
The so-called emperor was personally appointed by the "gods" by sending down oracles.
After years of fruitless results, when everyone was at a loss, Tsukasa Muji came up with a bold plan.
"The so-called god should be the cultivator, since this emperor is appointed by God, if he kills the emperor, how will the god react?"
No one knows, and no one thinks about it, so it's no wonder that several people say he's crazy.
After that, I don't know what means he used, he secretly persuaded his "father", as well as the current general of Zhenguo Mu Teng, and the time of the rebellion was tonight, so several other people rushed to help, after all, they are ...... It's all grasshoppers on a thread.
——
As Tsukasa Muji was kicked off the pond, Shu and Liu Chihiro also stopped laughing, but they still struggled a little when they looked at that cute and angry little face.
Also laughing exaggeratedly was the snow ghost, of course Hua Xiaoyu didn't let him go, but he reacted quickly to dodge.
However, when he was still laughing by the pond, his face changed for a moment, and he could no longer laugh, and there were tears in his eyes.
The moonlight in the pond was shattered by Tsukasa Muji after falling into the water, but the knife that was still soaked in the water on the edge of the pond was sparkling with the ripples stirred up in the pool.
"Where did this knife come from?"
The sound of shock spread throughout the courtyard.
