smile to heart

======================

In the Hall of Jules of the Nine Gai Mountains.

Mu Yun slowly put down the suicide note in his hand, heartbroken and silent in thought.

The suicide note was written by Liu Zhen himself and written in the form of an edict. Strictly speaking, it is not a suicide note.It's just that people are dead, and people who come later can only treat them like this.

Mu Xi saw him look sad, and asked, "Jing Yao, what did you say in the letter from the Immortal Venerable?"

"Huanshi Shenyuan has been occupied by two-thirds of the demon head of the Li family in Kuocang Mountain, and the remaining one-third of the spiritual consciousness is missing. We need to find it as soon as possible, otherwise the world will be in chaos... In addition, Fengmei is one of the gods in the heavenly realm. People are the best candidates to assist in this matter..."

Mu Yun explained the main contents of the letter one by one.

Mu Xi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Master Medical Sage told me about your situation before he left. Right now, you must unify the upper border as soon as possible and seize power, so that you can gather the forces of righteousness, eliminate demons and calm chaos..."

"I have chosen the auspicious day for you, the enthronement ceremony..."

Mu Yun frowned and interrupted: "Let's keep everything simple. The funeral of the immortal is not over, so it is not appropriate to make noise."

"But..." Mu Xi hesitated for a moment, then compromised, "Then I will send an edict to all schools and factions to inform them."

"Hmm. Ahem..."

Seeing him straining his body and dealing with political affairs, Mu Xi stepped forward with heartache, and handed him warm water: "Xiao Yun, you are seriously injured and need to rest well. Protect you, let you be persecuted like this."

"Cousin, I should be the one to apologize to you for being late! It's my fault for leaving you without saying goodbye and worrying you for so long..."

Mu Xi shook her head to reject his self-blame, and was even more relieved: "Okay, okay. I shouldn't bring this up. I know you like to make mistakes so much, so I won't listen to you."

Mu Yun calmed down a little, and smiled lightly, so that the dignified atmosphere temporarily faded.

Mu Xi said again: "In the battle of Kuocang Mountain, both sides will suffer. At this moment, we must calm down the intention of revenge, take advantage of this gap, gather up our troops as soon as possible, and make a perfect plan."

Mu Yun nodded in agreement: "It should be so. But... I still don't understand why Kuocang Mountain has never been found to have such a big hidden danger? The catastrophe that suddenly appeared now is really surprising..."

"Do you suspect that someone has been concealing this matter, so that the evil spirits can secretly grow their forces, to the point where they are now troublesome?" Mu Xi also understood some doubts, "Could it be..."

Out of respect for the deceased, Mu Yun stopped, shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter what caused it, the next thing is what we have to face and shoulder, I hope this loyalty can be changed as soon as possible." Come to the peace of Tongjiang."

"Yeah." Mu Xi nodded, and said again, "During this time, the devil has been severely injured, so he won't move too much for a while, and the Cassia Palace is not suitable for recuperating, why don't you go back to Fufeng with me first, the environment at home may be better. Suitable for recuperation."

Mu Yun hesitated for a moment, thinking that Fengmei had something to leave during this time, if he stayed here, it wouldn't do much good, instead he would cause his brother to suffer here with him, and immediately agreed: "That's fine."

Mu Xi smiled happily: "Then let's go home now."

At the foot of Changting Mountain, the market in the small town dispersed, and the noise gradually subsided.

In the restaurant, there were already few people, and the waiter was tired all day, and finally he could rest his feet.It's just that when he looked up, he saw the drinker on the second floor who was drunk and refused to leave endlessly, so he sighed and said, "There are all kinds of weird people these days. Drinking wine makes you want to drink yourself to death." of……"

The hand that poured the wine was trembling, not a single drop was stained in the glass, and the table was full of wine outside the glass.Qi Zhong blindfolded, raised the empty cup, and drank with his head on his back, hoping to numb the pain in his heart.

But the more drunk people are, the more obvious the memories, and the more painful the heartache.

Qi Yuxing's cruel words echoed in a trance: "...you disregarded the rules of the teacher's school and went out to cause trouble. The crime is unforgivable... You are rebellious and can't change your teaching. From now on, you will be expelled from the teacher's school. From then on, You, Qi Zhong, Changting Lin's family, and my Daofeizi, have nothing to do with each other. Wherever you go, you are not allowed to give us a name, do you hear me clearly?"

"Let's go! This is no longer a place for you!" Lin Tang scolded.

……

He was brutally blasted down the mountain gate, covered with old and new scars, lonely and helpless, boundless towards the boundless world, Molu turned out to be so magnanimous, leaving his heart empty.

Bitter wine poured into his throat, and Qi Zhong couldn't add more grief. Thinking of the relationship between master and apprentice for more than ten years, he didn't want to cry: "Master...Master...you really don't recognize me anymore?"

Before Liu Zhen was alive, he told him that after Qi Yuxing learned of the miracle, he wished to get rid of his scourge, because that one-third of his spiritual consciousness recognized him as the host, and this was an inevitable disaster for him.But Qi finally refused to believe it, he thought that Master would always protect him and love him... The funny thing is that the change happened overnight.

Qi Zhong laughed at himself. He should have thought that when he went to the devil's lair to save people, he was trapped for several days, and Changting ignored him. Such an attitude had already shown his determination to abandon it, but he still ran back to the back mountain without giving up, delusional. None of this happened before, and when he woke up, it was just as if his uncle had punished him...

However, he never thought that Qi Yuxing would really expel him, for this matter, or this was an excuse, from the beginning of concealment, to the later silence.

Even though he chose the path himself, he has nothing to regret, but his heart hurts. In just one month, he lost many close friends, and now he has lost even his mentor and teacher.Where else could he go?

Drunken, dreaming and dying, buried in wine, maybe it is the end.

Thinking of this, Qi finally lay down on the wine table and wept bitterly.Xiao Er, who was pushing people away, was taken aback by his behavior, and didn't dare to persuade him for a while.

Lin Weier hurried upstairs, seeing such a miserable scene, suddenly felt distressed, stepped forward, and shouted with concern: "Brother Qi! Don't be sad."

Hearing the familiar shout of Junior Sister, Qi Zhong's choked voice stopped abruptly, he was half awake, his heart ached, and he didn't want to recognize each other for a while, so he got up with his head buried, covered his face with his arms, and ran downstairs quickly .

Seeing this, Lin Weier hurriedly chased after him: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Qi, don't go..."

Xiao Er saw someone running away from the order, so he hurried to block the door, but was pushed away impatiently by Qi Zhong, and out of the restaurant, he quickly found an alley to hide, secretly looked at the door of the restaurant, and saw Lin Weier chasing him anxiously. He came out and shouted in all directions, but he didn't dare to go out to respond. He was no longer a disciple of Changting, and he couldn't forget Lin Tang's rebuke to him...

Xiao Er scratched his head, seeing that the person had disappeared, he stopped Wei Er: "Hey, who do you know? Then you can help him settle the drink money."

"Oh." Lin Weier anxiously took out his money bag, handed it all to him, and said seriously, "All the money is for you. If he comes to drink with you next time, you must keep him!"

"Oh, so much money! Okay, girl, don't worry, if this kid comes again, we will definitely help you keep him." Xiaoer smiled courteously.

Lin Weier had no time to pay attention to him, and continued to run to the street, looking for Qi Zhong.

Tears of remorse slid down his cheeks, and Qi finally leaned against the dark stone wall powerlessly, holding his forehead wearily.

While thinking wildly, he suddenly remembered that when he left Jiugai Mountain that day, he didn't know how Mu Yun was injured.

……

The night is dark and Fufeng Mountain is quiet.

After reading ancient books for several days, looking for the beginning of the evil, Mu Yun came out of the library, and on the way back to the cloud room, his thoughts were still blocked and he could not find any clues.

Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, he smelled a slight scent of wine, stopped involuntarily, glanced in a trance, and saw a corner of the clothes next to the rose flower, which was hidden extremely secretly.Feeling weird in his heart, he couldn't help holding the book in his arms, and quietly approached that person.

Standing under the wall, Mu Yun raised his hand and pushed aside the pink flower branches. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he suddenly saw a familiar sleeping face hidden in the flowers, full of alcohol, but sleeping with the fragrance of flowers, and his palms trembled. , couldn't help but slowly fell on the man's fair cheeks, and murmured affectionately: "Xiao Zhong..."

next morning.Qi Zhong woke up from the warm bed in Yunfang. The hangover caused him a headache. He patted his head. He recalled the scene of yesterday, left the teacher's gate and went to the tavern to get drunk. Mu Yun found that the main hall was empty, and turned back to Fufeng. Because he had no name and identity, he didn't dare to see him again as a teacher, so he had to sneak in from the weak spot in the barrier behind the mountain, and left after just a glance. Under the rose, fell asleep because of drunkenness.

"...Brother Yun?" In a daze, he vaguely saw a figure at the door hesitating and stopped, and subconsciously called out.

When Mu Yun found out that he had woken up, he hurried into the room, put the wound medicine on the table, and hurried forward: "I'm here."

"You, you're all right! You're finally all right!"

Seeing him standing in front of him intact, Qi finally forgot the pain, wept with joy, threw himself into the other's arms excitedly, feeling the real warmth of this moment.

"Well... I was so afraid of your death, that night at Kuocang Mountain, I was so afraid of your death! You lied to me..."

Sobbing tears, so fragile and helpless, slipped quietly under Mu Yun's collar.He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, seized the opportunity, hugged the person in front of him tightly, and comforted him softly: "I'm sorry, I made you worry..."

Days of grievance and heartache turned into endless attachment at this moment, Qi finally wanted to stop choking, but tears kept welling up and falling indulgently.

He suppressed his crying: "I, I have no one to rely on, can you take me in for a few days?"

With such a heart-wrenching plea, Mu Yun gently wiped away the tears from his eyes, and his heart tightened: "I can take you in for the rest of my life..."

Qi Zhong raised his eyes in astonishment, thinking that this sentence would be a promise for the rest of his life.

Mu Yun said again: "But you have to tell me what happened first? Is it because of me that you have suffered something?"

It turned out to be just a hypothesis.

Qi Zhong's mind was empty for a moment, and then he turned calm, turned his face sideways, and said in a sullen tone, "From now on, I will draw a clear line with Master Changting. It's not anyone's fault, it's me who doesn't deserve it."

"How could this be?" Mu Yun clasped his shoulders, with a worried tone, "Okay, okay, I don't ask, I don't ask, you take a good rest, this is your temporary home."

He wanted to ask in detail, but when he saw Qi Zhong weeping silently, his eyes dim, and his stubborn expression of not saying a word, Mu Yun suddenly softened, and his coaxing tone became softer and softer.

"Thank you, thank you." Qi Zhong raised his hand to wipe away his tears, not as cheerful as before.

Mu Yun thought that he might need to calm down more now, so he got up slowly, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't think so much, let me handle everything."

Seeing the back of the other party turning and leaving, Qi finally reached out his hand and impulsively wanted to pull him back, but he was entangled in his heart, and he dropped his hand in vain, feeling powerless: I was already causing trouble for him, and now the chaos in Shangjiang Why bother to increase his burden.

After thinking about it wildly, Qi Zhong was hit on the head with his head covered, as if isolated from the world, he closed his eyes to rest, but his heart couldn't calm down.
