Tread thousands of dust

"Tell me." Mo Xian still closed his eyes.

Mo Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked determinedly: "Do you know...the reason why Tao Feng entered the imperial city back then?"

Mo Xian opened his eyes and asked, "Why did you mention this?"

"Because I want to know." Mo Fengyi said, "You should have heard it. I mean the year when I was just born."

Mo Xian said in surprise, "How do you know this?"

"He told me, otherwise what else could it be."

Mo Xian sighed and said, "Alas...Feng'er, I don't want you to know these things."

Mo Fengyi quickly retorted: "But I already know a lot, and I don't want to be kept in the dark."

"You know he told you everything, right?" Mo Xian asked, "He told you a lot?"

"Correct."

Mo Xian nodded: "Forget it, if you want to know, I'll tell you. Back then, it was said that it was a gift from King Hannai, but Tao Shenling sneaked into the Mo Mansion on the first night when he arrived in the imperial city. I immediately felt that something was wrong. …”

Mo Fengyi said suspiciously: "Tao, Shen, Ling"

Mo Xian replied with a faint smile: "Yes, his original name, you call him Mad Zun, but I'm more used to calling him by his original name."

"How do you know?" Mo Fengyi was puzzled.

Mo Xian recalled: "He told your mother this."

Mo Fengyi frowned and asked: "My mother Tao Feng told my mother his original name, but I heard that no one in this world knows his name."

"After your mother died, maybe there was nothing left." Mo Xian replied.

Mo Fengyi was directly led astray by him, and continued to ask: "Why did he tell my mother?"

Mo Xian said, "Did Tao Shenling tell you that it was Yi Lian and I who saved him?"

Mo Fengyi nodded hurriedly.

Mo Xian laughed and said, "When he woke up from serious injuries, Yi Lian asked him what his name was, and he said it."

Mo Feng curiously said: "It's that simple"

Mo Xian nodded: "It's that simple."

Mo Fengyi frowned deeply, bit his lower lip and continued to ask in disbelief: "How could it be so easy?"

"I don't know, and I don't know if it's his real name, and he's already dead, so it doesn't matter." Mo Xian replied calmly.

Mo Feng said differently: "Then do you know anything about him?"

"What do you want to know? Feng'er, you killed him yourself and ended up with him, why do you want to know him?"

Mo Fengyi's eyes flickered a few times before he said: "He told me a lot, so I want to know more."

Mo Xian shook his head and sighed: "I can guess what he told you. The emperor was not enthroned back then, but he was already popular, so he was powerful and capable of chasing and killing Tao Shenling. Thinking that Tao Shenling was seriously injured and could run back from the mountains outside the city, Yi Lian and I bumped into him. I couldn't tell your mother about his identity, and Tao Shenling really couldn't die, so I rescued him."

Mo Fengyi asked suspiciously: "Then did you know the reason why he sneaked into the Mo Mansion?"

Mo Xian's eyes were gloomy, and he said rather lowly: "Son, back then your father was just a civil servant. I had no ability to protect you. I could only rely on your uncle. But it doesn't mean I will tell him these things, do you understand?"

The implication is that Shu Hanxu didn't know anything, and it was just to protect Mo Fengyi out of desperation at the beginning, but the situation now is even more so.

"I heard that you offended the emperor today." Mo Xian continued with a low voice, "Do you believe him or me?"

Mo Fengyi lowered his head, and took a while to speak: "It's not that I don't want to believe you, but if you want me to believe, you should at least tell me. Why keep me in the dark and make me believe?"

Mo Xian suddenly coughed a few times, and Mo Fengyi stood up in fright and said with concern: "Father! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you and uncle..."

Mo Xian shook his head and waved his hands, tightly grabbed Mo Fengyi's forearm and said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long... Sigh... I'm from the martial arts world, Pan Xiaotai It was left to me by my master, and there are countless treasures and books in it, and I have searched the entire bookstore since I was a child."

Mo Feng was surprised and said: "So...you have watched "Strategy of Marrow Cutting"..."

Mo Xian nodded: "That's natural. The child born on the night of Feng Bailei's moon is the descendant of the dragon ghost... When Tao Shenling came to the Imperial City and Mo Mansion, I guessed that he might I have also read "Strategy to Cut the Marrow", and it is aimed at you, so I must not let him succeed."

Mo Fengyi closed his eyes dejectedly: "...How is that possible? If you knew..."

"If I knew, how could I let you practice martial arts to drive Gu poison? Right? You want to ask this." Mo Xian interrupted him indifferently.

Mo Fengyi nodded blankly.

Mo Xian took a deep breath and forced the pain in his throat before he spoke: "Because I can confirm that you are not, you are definitely not the queen of witchcraft."

"Why! That's clearly recorded, how can it be wrong! Since you know why you kept it from me! I've already seen it! Why did you burn it at that time!" Mo Feng roared, and now he felt that his chest was not enough. Under control, something will burst out at any time.

Mo Xian sighed and said: "Feng'er, my master once confessed that "Strategy of Cutting the Marrow" should not appear in the world, nor should it be destroyed by fire. Do you know why?"

Mo Fengyi shook his head with tears in his eyes.

"Because the poison of voodoo and the queen of voodoo have disappeared for 200 years, this book was listed as a banned book, and those who saw it were accused of practicing voodoo, so I can only keep it well. I didn't expect You actually flipped through it, and I was really worried that more people would see it, so I had to destroy it." Mo Xian said in a deep voice, "I know you used Gu before you knew it, and I was very scared at that time, But within three days, there was no reaction, and everything went on as usual after that, you felt it yourself, didn’t you?”

Mo Fengyi asked: "I don't have any abnormalities, but it doesn't mean I'm not. Maybe it's just that my way of expelling Gu is different. And doesn't it mean that "Strategy of Marrow Cutting" cannot be destroyed by fire? Since Pan Xiaotai has preserved it for so long , why did you insist on burning it after I saw it?"

Mo Xian replied: "Because this is the rule."

"what"

Mo Xian, "The "Strategy of Cutting the Marrow" cannot be destroyed by fire, but I am worried that someone will be too angry and want to burn it. But it can only be read by the voodoo master. This is the rule set by the dragon ghost."

Mo Fengyi frowned: "How do you know this?"

Mo Xian said: "My master has been studying Gu poison all his life, and he is also very curious about Long Gui. He has consulted a lot of books and told me a little bit."

Mo Fengyi continued to ask: "Why is there such a rule?"

Mo Xian smiled lightly: "That's what I told you. You absolutely cannot be the reason for the voodoo queen. Because the blood of the voodoo is passed down from generation to generation, relying on blood. If you are the queen, then it means that your mother and I One of them too, do you think it's possible?"

Mo Fengyi was shocked and said: "So you mean... the dragon ghost has heirs so that he can inherit his Gu blood"

Mo Xian nodded and said: "That's right, so the dragon ghost was worried that others would read this book, so he established this rule. Many people also call it a curse. It means that apart from the Gu master, everyone who has read "Strategy to Cut Marrow" people, all of them will not end well.”

Mo Fengyi was confused when he heard that, he waved his hands and said, "Then how can Tao Feng have rubbings, aren't they afraid of them?"

Mo Xian thought for a while and said: "There are very few people who have seen it, and even fewer people who know this rule. Besides, even if he knows this, he may not be able to resist his greed for poison in the end. As for how he has rubbings? , there should be someone who, like him, longs for Gu poison."

Not a good end...

Mo Fengyi's body felt cold for a moment...

Mo Fengyi suddenly felt very scared at this moment.

"Feng'er, don't worry about this. I've also read "Strategy to Cut the Marrow". It's just a threat from the dragon ghost." Mo Xian saw his uneasiness, and comforted him.

Mo Fengyi said in a daze: "But... Feng Baileiyue's Night... is clearly recorded on it, you can't deny it just based on blood relationship."

Mo Xian sighed and said: "Actually, I have been worried too. After all, if you exorcise the Gu poison, it is impossible to turn back. But after so many years, I am more and more sure that you are not. According to the records in the book, successfully driving the Gu poison, within three days The palms will turn black, the chest will be painful, the mind will be unclear, and the whole body will be weak. Even if the symptoms disappear after three days, the poison will gradually develop due to the success of exorcism until it becomes crazy. The Gu owner can only be relieved by planting Gu to others Not the slightest bit, and you can't detoxify for life. And you Feng'er, you have nothing abnormal at all."

Mo Fengyi was noncommittal about this, but it was impossible for him to exclude himself just based on what his father said.The method and consequences of exorcism are recorded, but his own background is also recorded, how could he only choose to believe in one side?

Mo Fengyi shook his head and said: "Where did you hear about the saying of blood kinship? How do you know it is credible? What's more, after so many years, if there are his descendants, don't they know their identities and don't know?" Has anyone exorcised Gu?"

Mo Xian said: "I know this, it's not just rumors, it's because there are actually two volumes of "Zhansui Strategies", and what we have read is the first volume, the second volume has been lost for a hundred years, and my master When I visited the Quartet, I accidentally read the rubbings of the second volume, but just like Tao Shenling's, it's only a small part."

Mo Fengyi was speechless, his surprise seemed to overshadow all his emotions.

Mo Xian continued: "Perhaps you think that these are all recorded, and no one knows whether it is reliable or not, but as a father, I don't believe that my son can practice Gu skills anyway. Maybe Feng Baileiyue night, but It's a coincidence. Child, I don't want you to be in constant panic because of this plausible statement, and you can't let go of your self-pity, you know?"

Mo Fengyi nodded silently, and after a long time of digestion, he asked again: "Okay, I promise you that I won't panic. Then... Tao Feng was defeated and imprisoned. He told me that you wrote to him to tell him Did he surrender when he had a chance to be rescued?"

Mo Xian nodded and shook his head again: "I did write him a letter, but I just told him that Yi Lian saved his life. If he committed suicide like this, I'm afraid Yi Lian would be unhappy."

Mo Fengyi curled his lips: "My mother probably won't, even if she saved Tao Feng, but that man is an enemy army after all, how could he still worry about his life at this time?"

Mo Xian laughed: "You kid, you have the same temper as hers. Yes, although Yi Lian is kind, she doesn't regret saving Tao Shenling, but she is definitely not a person who discriminates between right and wrong. Even if she wanted to persuade her to surrender, she would not I put it this way. I wrote this letter just to lie to him, but I never thought that Tao Shenling really felt that Yi Lian didn't want him to die, so he surrendered."

Mo Fengyi suddenly remembered that Tao Fengzun had told him that he was imprisoned because he believed too much in one person...

He didn't want to think about it anymore, he just looked at his waist, brushed the jade pendant with his finger and continued: "It's so easy to deceive... Hey dad, he still knows this jade pendant, do you know why?"

Mo Xian also reached out his hand to touch the jade pendant, and his originally cold and resolute eyes softened instantly: "This Xiaguang Liuxing Pendant is a gift from your emperor's grandmother, the queen mother who gave her when Yi Lian was in her prime. It was given to me, and after you were born we unanimously decided to give it to you."

Mo Fengyi caressed the gentle jade pendant, and Mo Xian continued: "Back when Tao Shenling sneaked into the Mo Mansion, you had this jade pendant in your cradle. Presumably when your mother rescued him, he should have seen it , this jade pendant is hard to find in the world, and it is extremely rare, so it is not surprising that he knows it."

Mo Fengyi muttered: "Then I don't know the name..."

But it is impossible for him to know these things, and Mo Xian only knows a little about it.

Mo Fengyi continued to ponder, and Mo Xian said again: "I took you out of the imperial city at the beginning, and I didn't want you to return to the imperial city, because I didn't want them to find you. After all, I don't know how many people have seen that In this book, how many people are secretly trying to harm you, so I can only rely on my own ability to protect you. I also made a mistake this time. I didn't expect them to send so many people. You should not have been allowed to go to Tongzhou at the beginning. If they really catch you, how should I explain to your mother..."

Mo Fengyi interrupted him: "Father, I can't live under your protection for the rest of my life. I have grown up, and I have to bear these. In fact, I don't regret coming to the imperial city and going to Tongzhou, and I don't regret knowing that All of this, I just did this because I got General Wen and Master Yuan involved. Dad, now you only need to recover from your illness, and don't worry about anything else."

Mo Xian chuckled before saying: "Grow up... I don't even know when you will be considered a grown up... At least not yet."

Mo Fengyi also smiled and said: "Father, I'm serious, I will definitely not let you worry about it anymore. We will set off for Pan Xiaotai immediately, Master Qi will definitely cure you, and I will always be by your side by your side."

Mo Xian was speechless for a long time, and only after a while did he raise his hand. Mo Feng stretched out his head obediently. Mo Xian's old and trembling hands slowly stroked his son's young hair, and he suddenly sighed in his heart.

He didn't know how scared Mo Fengyi was in his heart these years. Even if he said it now, he didn't dare to ask Mo Fengyi what he was thinking. He only knew that Mo Fengyi couldn't rule out his suspicion at all. Force yourself to relax a little so that Dad doesn't worry.

Mo Xian has been thinking whether he was right to tell the whole story now, and whether he was right to hide it from him for so many years, but now he just takes one step at a time according to his own will.

There are thousands of people and things, and there are many entanglements. Who doesn't take one step at a time?

Mo Xian said again in a deep voice: "Your saber, I will build a new one for you."

Mo Fengyi leaned on his father's lap, and he muffled: "No, I don't want it anymore, don't you want it too?"

Mo Xian was a little annoyed: "There is no way to go, why is it difficult to cross the rivers and lakes without a proper sword. I don't wear a sword because I don't practice martial arts anymore, but you are different. People in the rivers and lakes have broken swords, and they are He also lost his integrity."

Mo Feng smiled lightly and said: "My integrity doesn't need to be shown with a sword, I can beat them without a weapon."

Mo Xian fell silent for a long time.

Mo Fengyi walked out of the door, and took a few breaths after closing it. Now he only felt that his heart was blocked, he couldn't let go, and couldn't pass this hurdle.

After Mo Fengyi told Hua Qianzi all this, he lay down on the table like a puddle of stagnant water.

Hua Qianzi asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Mo Fengyi remained silent, Hua Qianzi said again: "At least the leader is sure that you are not the Queen of Gu, isn't it?"

Mo Fengyi sneered and said, "He's just trying to comfort me, and he doesn't want to believe it either."

"Fengyi, I know you can't bear so much information for a while, why don't you take a good rest." Hua Qianzi said soothingly, "I don't want to see you so entangled in pain."

Mo Fengyi leaned on his arm, turned his head and said, "Ah Qian, I can't sleep."

Hua Qianzi sighed: "These things are not what you should bear, Feng Yi, maybe you should make some arrangements."

Mo Feng said in a muffled voice: "How to arrange it?"

"Didn't you just say that there is a second volume of "Marrow Cutting Strategy"? Maybe if we find the second volume, we can find out whether you are a Gu queen or not." Hua Qianzi suggested.

Mo Feng moved his body weakly and said: "My father already said that my master searched all his life and only found a few pages of rubbings. I am afraid that this book no longer exists in the world."

Hua Qianzi said indifferently: "But we can't be sure, aren't we? Rather than you being so suspicious and suffering, why don't we try our best, and we should make ourselves feel at ease."

Mo Fengyi got up slowly, rubbed his arms and said: "Okay, when we get back to Pan Xiao Terrace, if my father is in better health, let's go look for it."

Hua Qianzi smiled lightly and said, "We have to wait for your health to recover. We have been running around for days, but your injuries haven't recovered much."

Mo Fengyi said helplessly: "Okay, I know, but before that, I need you to do me a favor."

Hua Qianzi was still curious, Mo Fengyi untied the jade pendant from his belt, stroked it a few times, handed it to him and said, "This... you can give it to Xun Can for me."

Hua Qianzi frowned slightly: "Why do you want me to give this jade pendant on your behalf? It's very meaningful and very precious. You should give it yourself."

Mo Feng smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, I really don't dare to see him, so you can do me a favor, little Huaer."

Hua Qianzi's tone was cold: "Fengyi, it's really inappropriate for you to treat him like this."

"You just treat me as cowardly and timid, I just flinched." Mo Fengyi bit his lower lip, "I told you just now, and I also relayed it to him, and he knows all these things."

"Fengyi, this is not only unfair to him, but also unfair to you. I know you don't want to implicate him, and you are more worried that you will really get poisoned one day, but..."

"No but." Mo Fengyi interrupted him, "This is my decision. From the time he came back for Ziming instead of me, I knew I couldn't drag him down. Do you know why? Because I will definitely be the same in the future. In this way, King Hanna will definitely not let me go, and there are even people besides him who want to arrest me. Besides, I may become poisoned at any time, and no one will recognize me if I go crazy, so if I am still with him, he will be there again and again. Come to replace me, and get into danger again and again! This time he didn’t die, next time he did this for a dangerous person like me, isn’t it unfair to him?"

Hua Qianzi paused.

He had no choice but to take the delicate and white jade pendant, his heart was rippling, he didn't know what it was like.

"Fengyi, do you want him to give up? Will we never see each other again?"

Mo Feng smiled wryly: "Alright."
