smile to heart

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

When we arrived at the foot of Jiugai Mountain, the sky was already bright.

Qi Zhong and the others stopped on the mountain road paved with thousands of stone steps in the back mountain. Looking up, they couldn't see the end of the cloud top in the distance.

Qi Zhong calmed down the nervousness in his heart, and asked in a muffled voice, "What did you bring me here for?"

Stopping the painful memories in her mind, Mu Yin's face was heavy, and she gave him a disdainful glance, but she tried her best to suppress the flatness in her tone: "What you hate is the pain that brother Yun cut out your heart with his own hands, but you know, At the beginning, he took the [-]th hour of Buddha's fate as an opportunity to come to Jiugai Mountain to take you away, but... the family clan couldn't bear to ruin the reputation of the family, so they cast the soul-binding technique on him that had been banned for a long time, and borrowed his hand , put a knife on you, to save the face of the Mu family..."

Mu Yin felt the pain of helplessness in the past, and continued sadly: "This kind of forbidden technique is very easy to hurt your body. You only hate him for being hard-hearted and gouging out your heart with your own hands. You don't know that he forcibly broke the technique later, causing serious physical and mental injuries. But you still don’t care about yourself, afraid that they will crush you to ashes, and forcefully take you as a burden to walk thousands of miles of mountain roads in the heavy snow, and you are so cold that you faint, and you don’t want to let go..."

"what!"

Now that he didn't know where he was, Qi Mo could only feel the roar in his head, falling into the abyss of despair like the sky falling apart, unable to find a fulcrum to stand on, he staggered back a few steps, grabbed the tree trunk beside him, and clasped it tightly, The pressure was so great that countless small blood beads appeared from the tips of the ten fingers, flowing slowly along the tree marks.

He couldn't make a sound. After hearing these words, he not only believed them unreservedly, but even more so, he was so sad that he lost his voice.

Mu Yin only felt the numb bitterness in her heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "So what exactly does he owe you? What have you done for him? Could it be that if I met you, I would pay for your life? Do you know that nine years ago , How hard did you hurt him? I really hate you!"

The excited tone caused great panic in Qi Zhong's heart. He regained his speaking instinct and stammered and asked, "Nine, what happened nine years ago? What happened?"

"What's wrong? You can still ask? Do you know what price Brother Yun paid to save you?"

"The price..." Qi Zhong's eyes were lost, and he murmured, "Feng Mei told me that he used some ancient medical technique to enter the illusion, and found my mind back..."

He stated the original words, but his voice became more and more emboldened.

Mu Yin looked at him as a hateful and ungrateful person, and sternly shouted: "Is the medical sage omnipotent? You know, the medical book that could save you was held by Xi Yan and others in their hands, This threatens Brother Yun..."

"What? What did they do?" Qi Zhong's eyes widened, and even greater panic rushed over, but he only felt dizzy and sober.

Mu Yin looked sad, and sneered: "They think you must die, so why would they easily hand over the medical records for your treatment? So back then..."

nine years ago.

As soon as the war was over, Tongjiang was in a state of chaotic timing. Xi Yan and his wife took advantage of another miracle forged by Fengmei to climb Mount Jiugai, seized power, tampered with the system, supported many party members to the top, and brought The situation in Tongjiang is firmly under control.

Mu Yun came to ask for medical books many times, but was rejected many times, until the day of the banquet in Jiugai Mountain, Xi Yan specially allowed him to wait for the good news at the foot of the back mountain.

Mu Yun came as promised, and waited for a day, and the person who waited for the communication taunted him triumphantly: "Master Mu, Xi Dutong said that the meaning of Luo Xianzun is simple, and I can't give you that medical book. Everyone in Shangjiang is petitioning, so you can’t smear their face just because of your own thoughts, right? What you are doing now is in vain, stop lowering your status and doing these shameless stupid things..."

"Presumptuous! No matter how bad the Mu family used to be, it's still everyone's fairy house. What is my younger brother's status? Is it my turn to be taught by a lackey like you? If you're interested, get out of here."

In order to persuade Mu Yun to change his mind, Mu Yin also stood by his side for a whole day, seeing someone offending her, she was so angry that she yelled back without hesitation.

The man was so stared at with a guilty conscience, he turned to think of the backer behind him, glanced at the two of them impatiently, and said arrogantly: "I was ordered by the immortal to come here to tell you, don't be ignorant. What should really be done?" You guys are the ones who are interested, so hurry back. I didn’t invite you, the Buddha of the Mu family, to the banquet today. Hmph."

"You!" Mu Yin became even more angry, and almost wanted to punish him, but Mu Yun calmly stopped her.

Immediately stepped forward, Mu Yun said coldly: "Get out of the way."

Knowing that this was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult, Xi Yan ordered the main gate to be sealed, leaving only this way, and now he sent a servant who didn't even understand etiquette to pass the order, and the meaning of ridicule was self-evident.

Mu Yun was waiting here, but he waited for this kind of boring talk, thinking about the safety of that person, he didn't care about doing more mediation, and faced the villain's troubles directly.

Seeing this, the person who delivered the order felt compelled by the aura of the other party, and was slapped in the face with low self-esteem, but he still pretended to be arrogant: "No, no order has been issued, and idlers and others are not allowed to go up the mountain, disturbing everyone's interest..."

Before the threatening words were finished, the second informant hurried over from the mountain, negotiated with him, then turned to Mu Yun with a hypocritical smile, and said hypocritically.

"Immortal Master urgently ordered, changed his mind, and is willing to let you go up the mountain."

"Why don't you get out of the way?" Mu Yin reprimanded impatiently.

The man became even more arrogant, and coldly snorted: "It's just not walking up."

Mu Yin frowned deeply: "What do you mean?"

The man said casually again: "In order to show the sincerity of young master Mu in seeking the heavenly book, as long as you are willing to kneel up the mountain, the immortal will definitely overcome all arguments and reward you with the medical book."

"What?" Mu Yin mistakenly thought that she had heard wrong, her shoulders trembled with anger, and she glared at the man, "Who does Luo Qingchen think he is? He dares to say such words. When Liu Zhen was in power, he didn't even dare Scold the Mu family, he..."

"One moment and another moment. Second Miss Mu, don't keep talking about the past."

The villain is successful, and he is even more defiant.

Then he sneered and said: "Young Master Mu, please think about it carefully. The Immortal Venerable will hold a banquet for three days, and you will be waiting on it for the past few days, but don't let people wait for a long time, otherwise..."

Before he finished listening to the words, Mu Yun ignored the man, turned his body straight away, looked up at the long steps of the unknown mountain at the end, sighed softly, and was about to bend his knees.

Mu Yin tightly grasped his sleeve, pitifully pleading: "Brother Yun, don't kneel! Sister doesn't allow you to kneel!"

Mu Yun took a deep look at her, feeling quite pitiful, gently patted her hand, then pulled it away forcefully, and said calmly, "Second sister, you go back first."

The hands fell down weakly, Mu Yin gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and sighed in anger, staying by his side helplessly.

The wind is coming, the tall forests and broad leaves are desolate.

The sound of flicking off the sleeves was like the sound of the wind, followed by a muffled sound of knees landing on the ground.When Mu Yin first saw him kneeling suddenly, she was terrified of pain. The tears in her eyes couldn't be kept anymore, and her heart ached.

She stepped forward to beg again, but saw that Mu Yun's upper body was straight, his eyes were firm, and he knelt down to take the first step, the second step, the third step...

Step by step, there is no end in sight.

From the light of dawn, to the poisonous sun shining on the forest, to the sunset, and to the bright moon rising into the sky, repeating this until the next morning.

There were bloodstains on the green steps, and sweat stains on the long clothes... Mu Yin followed all the way up the mountain, persuading her until her voice became hoarse, and finally accompanied her numbly.

Halfway through hearing this, Qi Zhong frowned tightly, clinging to the tree trunk beside him, almost unable to stand still, unable to hold the consciousness in his head, and kept shaking his head: "No, no, how can it be possible! How dare they..."

Mu Yin's eyes turned red again, and she said with a wry smile: "Wanli Qingjie, he knelt up step by step... Those people hate you to the bone and have nowhere to vent their anger on him... Forced him to kneel for two days During the night, I never stopped for half a step, and I was not even allowed to spend half of my spiritual power on him. Xi Yan and the others only let him kneel up the mountain without his body, otherwise they would not give the medical book..."

"Uh--"

Qi Zhong felt extremely heartbroken, and a scene of blood-stained mountain steps suddenly appeared in his mind, and he shed tears in panic.

"That road, to him, is like a mountain of knives, like a sea of ​​fire. Do you know how much my heart hurts? Ever since I was a child, only my father has ever punished him a little. I never scolded him once, when did he suffer from this kind of pain?"

The resentment in Mu Yin's eyes was hard to contain, and she wished that Qi Zhong would repay it a thousand times and a hundred times.

"I... sorry, I... it's all because of me..."

Qi Zhong felt remorse and pain, trembling constantly, unable to escape even a complete sentence of apology.

"Do you think it's over like this? Do you think that if he kneels down to the top of the mountain, his wish will be fulfilled?"

Mu Yin told the past without any concealment:

At that time, Mu Yun went through hard work to reach the top of the mountain, picked up the wooden stick Mu Yin handed over, propped up his numb knees, and slowly walked into the feast of intertwined cups...

When everyone saw him enter the door, they were silent for a moment, and all looked at each other in blank dismay.There was no figure of Luo Qingchen on the high seat, only Xi Yan was sitting in the second seat, with a bead curtain hanging down, his face and expression could not be seen.

"Give me the medical book!"

He concealed his weakness and pain, and drank in a low voice, his consciousness slightly hovering on the verge of vertigo.

Xi Yan, who was behind the curtain, smiled coldly. After applauding, a cold voice came down: "It's really commendable. The Mu family is worthy of being the head of the fairy family back then. Sure enough, there are all kinds of 'talents'."

"This matter has nothing to do with the Mu family. It is my business, please be careful with your words."

After hearing the sarcasm in the overtones, Mu Yun held his breath, straightened his body, and forbearance drooped his eyes.

These subtle movements of his fell into Xi Yan's eyes, and anger burst out immediately.It's all like this, and they still put on an unyielding look.He couldn't help fastening his clothes tightly, and became even more angry, stingy and tricky:

"It's good that one person does things alone. It's a pity that what you are going to do is related to the survival of Tongjiang. Luo Xianzun thought it over and over again, and decided..."

"Do you still have any morals? Why do you go back on your word when you have clearly said yes?"

Mu Yin almost got rid of her upbringing, cursed loudly, and stood in front of Mu Yun resolutely, blocking some mocking and humiliating eyes for him.

When the conversation was interrupted, Xi Yan's eyes lit up, the most distasteful to see the integrity of their family members.

"It's not repentance. It's just that the man committed a heinous crime, and the gods ordered him to die. It doesn't matter whether the medical books are given to you or not. God let him die, and he had to die."

"But when we gave you the book, we acted against the heavens. He committed a lot of crimes during his lifetime. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to pay back when he just knelt down. Everyone is here, but no one has ever talked about the word forgiveness lightly."

This time, Mu Yin was even more furious, she drew her sword sharply, the cold sword light flashed across the bead curtain, piercing into Xi Yan's jealous eyes.

"Eat what you say, put on a show, and have no virtue!"

As soon as the sword light appeared, the scene was tense for a while, and many supporters poured into the hall, standing with swords in hand.

"Bold, how dare you be rude to Xi?"

In the crowd, Xi Yan's dog started biting people.

Seeing this, Mu Yun was afraid that they would harm Mu Yin.Wei Wei clenched the stick tightly in her hand, comforting her softly: "Second Sister, put away the sword."

"You, what else do you want?"

Unable to ignore Mu Yun's plea, Mu Yin frowned and looked around, then dropped the sword gracefully, and the moment it landed, there was a clank.

Faced with this scene, Xi Yan was proud of himself, and said indifferently: "Shangjiang is full of celebrities, so naturally they don't care too much about it. But this place has also suffered a lot. The flames of war raged, how many people were displaced, and it was miserable Miserable. Presumably it is also his sin."

"what?"

Mu Yin almost thought that she heard it wrong, no matter how much she disliked Qi Zhong, she could tell that this was a slander and a frame-up, that Di Jiang had not managed properly, these problems had existed for a long time, and now it was even worse, why did he have to involve that person.

If a person makes a mistake, can all the mistakes be attributed to him?

"So, if Young Master Mu wants to protect him so much, why not take the blame for him? Cut off the fairy vein, get out of the fairy gate, and stay there for a few years, to taste the suffering of the common people. Maybe no one will stop you from saving him."

When Xi Yan said it, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he was quite excited, and his mood was extremely happy.

"Brother Yun, don't promise him. This man never thought of giving you medical books."

Mu Yin panicked again, and blurted out to stop her.

With no waves on his face, he blinked, Mu Yun threw away his crutches, and his knees couldn't help being pierced, and he fell straight to the ground. When he was about to hit the ground, unexpectedly, a pair of generous palms held firmly. Mix him up.

Mu Yun followed his hand and looked up, saw the gentle smile on Mu Xi's face, and felt that he had given him a lot of spiritual power, so that he could barely stand still, warmed his heart for a while, and opened his lips to speak, Mu Xi shook his head, signaling He doesn't have to be overly grateful.

After letting go, Mu Xi condensed her face, straightened her sleeves, and said to the superior seat, "Mu Yun is my cousin, as an elder brother, I am willing to suffer these so-called...'sins' for him. I don’t know Xi Dutong Could you please ask Luo Xianzun for his opinion and agree to my request?"

Under the curtain, Xi Yan was even more excited.When the person who really wanted to torture came, his eyes instantly revealed the resentment that he was jealous of this person and wished that thousands of knives and swords would be thrown at him.

"Oh?"

"It's really brotherly love. It's a pity what qualifications do you have to bear this responsibility? Your younger brother is a former immortal, and his status is different. I'm afraid this is something you can't compare with? Doesn't this mean that it won't have the same effect?"

Xi Yan's words sent humiliation into Mu Xi's heart.Of course he knew what Mu Xi cared about and what hurt him the most.

The few words just now even have the meaning of sowing discord.

As he expected, Mu Xi's complexion changed slightly, and the banquet guests on both sides started whispering.

This time, Mu Yun raised his eyes fiercely, glaring at Xi Yan behind the curtain.He held his hands tightly, how could he let his relatives be so slandered.

"The identity is different? Isn't your statement full of loopholes? It's true. What qualifications do you have to decide everything for Luo Xianzun? All the requests just now were made by you alone. What kind of power did you rely on?"

Mu Yun mentioned the issue of dignity for the second time, and taunted others with words for the first time.It is not appropriate for oneself, but it is a reasonable question.

"I'm the one he loves...he trusts. Of course he can decide these little things. Is there anything suspicious?"

Xi Yan was flustered and guilty, as if someone had poked a sore spot, and accidentally spilled the wine glass, which jingled and made everyone mistakenly think that he was furious.Hastily bowed his head.Originally, there were twelve old fairy families who were grateful to Mu Yun for helping the only son in the family, and wanted to fight the injustice, but now they all behave themselves.

The atmosphere seems to have changed a lot.Xi Yan stabilized his expression, lifted the curtain, but was wearing a mask, and walked down the steps slowly.

Passing by Mu Xi's side, she whispered, "He's mine. Don't even think about it forever... As for you, your brother, and your family, they all have to disappear."

"Don't even think about it!"

Mu Xi clenched her fists and glared at him angrily.

Xi Yan backed away a few steps, and said lightly: "Come here. The people below the Mu family committed crimes and despised the immortals. All the people in the palace were put in the dungeon, and immediately sent people to Fufeng to search the house."

"Why are you?"

Mu Xi strangled her wrists and stepped forward, the sword on her waist also had a faint sword aura.

"Xianzun has been physically and mentally exhausted recently, and I will be in charge of all matters in Tongjiang. Why do you think I should?"

Xi Yan backed away slowly, triumphant.

It was only then that Mu Yun realized that he never thought about giving himself a medical book, it was all calculations.In a hurry, she spat out a mouthful of black blood, Mu Yin hurriedly supported him, her face showing anxiety:

"Brother Yun! Brother Yun..."

"Do it. Take them all into custody."

Xi Yan ordered coldly.The guards entered the palace, eager to try, but none of them made a move. Most of them had been trained in Liuzhen at the beginning, and they were more or less centered on Mu Yun. Now they still have a little affection, and they want to treat each other with courtesy.

Xi Yan was even more furious. Seeing this, his cronies were impressed, and ordered: "You don't listen to what Xi Dutong said. Are you trying to rebel? This is a capital offense."

Hearing this, everyone still stepped forward and was about to put on the shackles when they shouted loudly from behind.

"Who dares?"

A sudden shout at the entrance of the main hall made everyone calm down.
