The villain is a fuzzy [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 57
【ah? ] Mu Lin was stunned for a moment, 【Why did you say this suddenly? 】
Seeing that Qinglong Peak is getting closer and closer, with the speed of Huo Ling Yujian, he can reach the Wuji Hall on the top of the peak in less than a moment, Xu Feng is anxious: [Because——Huo Wuji is not a good person! ! ! 】
He uttered this sentence in shock, Mu Lin's face was blank for a moment, he frowned, and said: [Afeng, what are you talking about? 】
【trust me. 】Xu Feng's thoughts turned sharply, some words that were on the verge of his mouth abruptly stopped, took a deep breath, and said, 【When I have not formed a contract with you, I saw Huo Wuji hunting and killing spirit beasts in Wujiyuan! 】
【what? ! 】
【A good friend of mine was killed by him!Either it was boiled and eaten or it was used for alchemy! 】Xu Feng said, 【Ah Lin, this sect leader is very hypocritical, he behaves the same way as others, don't be fooled by his appearance! 】
[Not...] Mu Lin was a little confused by his series of accusations, and said, [Afeng, are you sure you saw the master uncle?Isn't it the demons pretending to be him?How do you know he's duplicity?What if it is a rumor? 】
[Uncle Master doesn't have any fairy treasures, how can he catch spirit beasts to make alchemy?What's more, 'The disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect should treat the creatures of Taiyang Mountain kindly, and if both parties are willing, they can form a contract with the spirit beast. 'But he made the rules! 】
Xu Feng said slowly: [What if...he is not the real Huo Wuji? 】
【what? ! 】
Xu Feng stretched his neck and raised his head to observe Mu Lin's expression - sure enough, this child is too upright.With a face that expresses all his thoughts clearly, others can read his thoughts at a glance.
At this moment, his eyes were wide open, his lips were slightly parted, and he looked shocked and unbelievable.Huo Ling at the side immediately noticed his abnormality, and asked suspiciously: "Mu Lin, what's wrong with you?"
"No...it's nothing." Mu Lin paused, pointed to the Wuji Hall, which was just a short distance away, and said, "We'll be there soon, let Yujian go down!"
Xu Feng squinted his eyes, and sighed deeply in his heart - he had to do this first.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Mu Lin, but that the incident happened so suddenly that he couldn't figure out what to say and what not to say in a short time, and what to say to make Mu Lin believe him without arousing additional suspicion.Every word he said had better be well-founded, otherwise it would be full of loopholes and cause suspicion.
Of course, there is a deeper reason why Xu Feng gave up telling the whole truth at this time.First of all, Mu Lin was straightforward, and the city is still shallow, if he saw Huo Wuji immediately after hearing the subversive news, he would inevitably behave abnormally.Huo Wuji is also a careful person, so he will naturally find out that something is wrong with Mu Lin, carry out or change the plan in advance, frame Mu Lin and take countermeasures.In this way, the plot of the original book will go further off course. If it deviates from Xu Feng's predictable range, he and Mu Lin will be completely passive and encounter more unpredictable dangers.
Secondly, whether it is the original book or the current world, so far, everyone thinks that "Huo Wuji" is Huo Wuji, the highly respected fairy head and the helm of the Wuji Sword Sect.Moreover, Huo Wuji's strength is strong and his foundation is deep, so Xu Feng can't be shaken by him alone.If you tell Mu Lin the truth rashly, even if Mu Lin believes it, it will be difficult to convince others, and you will easily fall into a situation of isolation and crisis.
It's better to hold off for a few days, first throw out a small part of the truth, let Mu Lin feel vigilant, and then play it by ear, and drag it out when the time is right.
The long sword slanted through the woods, and soon fell a foot off the ground.The two jumped down one by one, Huo Ling retracted his five fingers, and the long sword automatically shrank and flew back to his palm.
Mu Lin was still struggling, and asked while walking towards the Wuji Hall: [Afeng, why didn't you say anything?What does it mean that the master is not the real 'Huo Wuji'?What do you mean we are going to meet the fake master now?Where did the real boss go?If the master master is fake, how can the junior master and the others not be able to tell the difference? 】
He asked questions like a cannonball, obviously feeling a little flustered.Xu Feng thought to himself, of course your father and your uncles can't tell the difference!Because the real Huo Wuji was dropped more than ten years ago!
Exhaling slowly, Xu Feng said: [I also heard what others said.Ah Lin, don't worry, I'll talk to you slowly when I get back. 】
Mu Lin said: [You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!But... No matter what, you should remember to behave normally later, and pretend that you don't know anything, so as not to cause others to become suspicious and harm you. 】
【…】Xu Feng raised his paw and rubbed his face, 【Ah Lin, you too.Can you put away your shocked expression? 】
During the conversation, the two had already entered the Promise Hall, and the banquet hall of the main hall was right in front of them.As soon as he stepped up the white jade steps, several voices flew out from inside, shouting: "It's Senior Brother!"
"Great, the brothers are back!!"
Several inner disciples ran out and surrounded Mu Lin and Huo Ling, with joyful expressions of relief.
Mu Xingxing was holding a fairy sword with radiant light, and when he saw Mu Lin, he immediately reached out and handed it over: "Brother, your sword."
Mu Lin took it backhanded.With the familiar Tianyuan sword in his hand, he settled in his heart, nodded to Mu Xingxing and said, "Thank you!"
Mu Xingxing: "You're welcome."
Huo Cai was still reluctant to talk to Huo Ling, and said to Mu Lin: "Senior brother, I heard that you suddenly disappeared while guarding the customs. What's going on?"
Qi Shuiyan said: "Both of you disappeared suddenly, so you were worried about us. Master and uncle were also very anxious when they found out. Fortunately, the head master and uncle have left the customs, and everyone is discussing to find you!"
On the side, Qi Muyue, who hadn't seen her for a month, also appeared here.Her allergies seemed to be cured, she didn't cover her face with a veil, showing a gentle face like jade, and whispered to Huo Ling: "Are you all right?"
Huo Ling said: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your concern. I'm fine."
If in the past, Qi Muyue only asked Huo Ling and not Mu Lin, it would be good if Mu Lin didn't draw his sword and fight Huo Ling on the spot.But now, he didn't notice the glare between the two at all. He hugged the fox with one hand and blocked the long sword with the other. All wet.
At this time, a female voice came through the hall: "It's good that you're fine. You two come in quickly."
It's endless.
"Yes." Mu Lin and Huo Ling agreed together, and walked into the banquet hall with everyone.At the first glance, he didn't look at Mu Wuqing and the others, but locked his eyes on the person seated at the highest place, and grasped the hilt of his sword tightly.
"Greetings... Uncle Sect Master."
"Meet Master."
"You don't need to be too polite." Huo Wuji sat on the sapphire dragon-patterned chair with a calm and unhurried aura, like a needle that calms the sea, calming down the disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect.
"Alin, what's going on?"
Mu Lin subconsciously turned his head to the side, just in time to collide with Huo Ling's peripheral vision.He took a deep breath and said, "Back to Master Master, I don't know what's going on in Huo Ling. My party was there and saw me disappear on the Eight Immortals Net with my own eyes. Then I passed out, and after waking up again At that time, I appeared in a tunnel, and I somehow ran into Huo Ling halfway."
"I entered the tunnel by mistake when I was chasing the beast. After meeting Mu Lin, we saw a sneaky man in black. Before we could figure out what was going on, the tunnel collapsed and we managed to escape." Huo Ling Continuing, "As soon as we came out, we heard Gu Yun's long ringing. Knowing that Master, you have left the customs, I was afraid that everyone would be worried, so I hurried over."
It was rare for them to answer one after another tacitly, with Huo Ling as the leader, half-truths and half-false, it sounded like they reported everything in detail, but in fact they were secretly testing Huo Wuji.While listening to their answers, Xu Feng tilted his head, opened his eyes round, and looked at Huo Wuji pretending to be ignorant—this one is not a vegetarian either. Hearing the words of the two young men, his complexion remained the same. Will put on a show.At least, from the surface, it can't be seen at all that he is actually a double-faced man with a sweet mouth and a sword in his belly.
Huo Wuji looks very decent, to be honest, he is a middle-aged handsome man.His long eyebrows are like swords, his thin lips are slightly pursed, and his face is three parts solemn, three parts resolute, and three parts peaceful, which is a typical appearance of a person who has been in a position for a long time.
It's probably because he's getting older and has a black beard. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that he and Huo Ling are three points similar in appearance.Xu Feng stared at it for a while, then turned his head indifferently, and then heard Huo Wuji say: "The man in black? Later today, Huo Ling will lead the way, and you guys can follow him to have a look. This matter is very strange. Get to the bottom of it."
He Wuxian nodded and said, "Yes."
"Fortunately, Ah Lin and Xiaoling are fine." Huo Wuji changed his voice, "By the way, when you were coming, I activated the spirit hearts of the other inner disciples' spirit beasts."
"Huo Ling." Huo Wuji said suddenly, "Bring your spirit beast to have a look."
Huo Ling froze, and said: "...Thank you, Master." There was no reason to refuse, let alone appear ignorant, so he stepped forward, took the black dragon disguised as a loach from his wrist, and handed it to Huo Wuji.
The so-called spiritual heart refers to pouring deep and pure internal force into the body of the spirit beast to purify the heart and marrow of the spirit beast, so that the mind and spiritual power of the spirit beast can be improved to a higher level.
It certainly sounds like a good thing.Otherwise, Huo Cai would not show dissatisfaction, and Huo Yuanbao would not show envy.Under the eyes of everyone, Huo Wuji did not investigate the real body of "Niach", but held "Niach" with his left hand, raised two fingers together with his right hand, white light flashed between the fingers, and spiritual power flowed into the black dragon's body like a warm current.
After a while, the soul-pointing was completed.Huo Wuji returned the black dragon to Huo Ling, and Huo Ling thanked him again, and after taking it back, he immediately checked the black dragon's body calmly.
Qi pulse is stable, and spirituality is enhanced. Ask the black dragon how he feels, and the black dragon only feels refreshed, without the slightest discomfort.
Huo Ling temporarily relieved himself and stepped aside.
In this way, there is only one spirit beast left.Mu Lin hugged the little fox tightly and froze in place, knowing that he must be next.However, recalling what Afeng said about the evil deeds of the master uncle killing spirit beasts and the mystery of the identity of the master master, Mu Lin was really worried about handing over Afeng and letting the master master enlighten his mind.
Huo Wuji waved to him and said, "Ah Lin, come here."
Seeing that Mu Lin was still in a daze, Xu Feng said: [A Lin, do you remember what you said?Not only don't show any hesitation, but you have to take the initiative to hand me over. 】
Mu Lin said: [But... you said he was a bad person. 】Aren't you afraid that he will harm you?Did you know that I would be terrified by this?
Mu Lin didn't say what was in his heart, but Xu Feng seemed to feel it, and said: 【Don't worry.With so many people, he won't do anything to me. 】
What's more, it is absolutely impossible for Huo Wuji to know his true identity.In his eyes, Xu Feng is just a fox spirit.
All eyes fell on Mu Lin.Especially when Mu Wuqing was also there, he couldn't just turn a blind eye to it. After a moment of silence, he still stepped forward and handed Xu Feng up.
Huo Wuji took the little fox, saw through Mu Lin's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "Ah Lin is not willing?"
"No. It's because I didn't realize it for a while." Mu Lin lowered his eyes and said, "...Thank you, Uncle Master."
"It's okay." Huo Wuji supported Xu Feng.With two fingers together, spiritual power poured into the body, as if the filth stagnated in the meridians had been swept away, Xu Feng only felt a warm current flow into the spiritual veins, and the Lingtai flashed with a clear light, feeling refreshed and ecstatic.
Mu Lin was by his side, watching Huo Wuji's every move closely.In order to reassure him, Xu Feng said: [A Lin, I am fine.It seems that the master is really trying to give me some inspiration. 】
The next moment, he felt another big hand slowly move up along the spine, stop under his head, and then, Xu Xu grabbed his neck!
Seeing that Qinglong Peak is getting closer and closer, with the speed of Huo Ling Yujian, he can reach the Wuji Hall on the top of the peak in less than a moment, Xu Feng is anxious: [Because——Huo Wuji is not a good person! ! ! 】
