Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

Meng Xi'an still bowed and continued: "Eldest brother taught Xi'an not to deceive oneself internally, externally not to deceive others, and superiors not to deceive the sky. That's why a gentleman is careful about his independence. But just now, Xi'an lied to elder brother."

Meng Chengyan's face turned pale again, and she continued to speak slowly after a while: "These...you just need to know these things in your heart, don't be too rigid, everything needs to be flexible. How can you not say anything in your life if you are alive?" False words? Besides, sometimes, lying may be out of good intentions to avoid causing greater harm. If you make any mistakes, the eldest brother can understand you and tolerate you. After all, we are brothers and outsiders It's incomparable. So, you must also understand elder brother."

Meng Xi'an raised his head, looked at Meng Chengyan, and said seriously: "Of course, my elder brother and I have blood thicker than water. If I did something wrong, I don't have to hide it from my elder brother, because I know that my elder brother will tolerate me. If we exchange, I will also tolerate elder brother."

This unwillingness to give up made Meng Chengyan even more flustered. His eyes flickered, he completely avoided Meng Xi'an's gaze, and said falteringly: "What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm already tired today and want to rest."

But Meng Xi'an didn't retreat, he didn't speak anymore, but he didn't retreat either, he still bowed respectfully and stood beside Meng Chengyan's bed, expressing his determination with silence.

Meng Chengyan endured and endured, but he really couldn't hold back the trembling of his body. He knew what kind of temperament his younger brother was, and he was so determined. If he didn't tell him the truth, he couldn't let this matter go.

But this silly brother, is the truth so important?Does the truth matter?Compared with the century-old foundation of the Meng family, what are these?Compared with the two of them, the lives of others are nothing!

Having lost the key to the formation, he was already extremely upset. At this time, Meng Xi'an wanted to find trouble for him. He didn't understand his good intentions at all, he just felt angry!

Beauty can understand the sacrifice he made to protect this silly brother and the Meng family!

Meng Chengyan suddenly couldn't pretend anymore, sat up suddenly from the bed, and stared fiercely at Meng Xi'an, how could he still be weak from being injured?

"Eldest brother..." Meng Xi widened her eyes in astonishment, and said slowly, "Eldest brother was not injured..."

Meng Chengyan trembled angrily: "Is that the flower demon? Have you seen him?"

Meng Xi'an tried his best to maintain his calm, and said: "Yes, Xingyuan is back, I met him."

Meng Chengyan gritted her teeth and cursed: "It's that evildoer again! You idiot! Why are you still meeting him! He's just a lowly monster, something worse than a beast!"

Meng Xi'an said solemnly: "Brother, don't say that about him."

"I think you are really crazy! I should have killed him a long time ago!" Meng Chengyan pointed at Meng Xi'an's nose and continued to curse, "For such a lowly evildoer, you are here to question me? Think about it yourself, you Yes, you are the second son of the Meng family who is well-known in the world! If people find out that you are not related to a lowly evildoer, what will others think of you? How will you gain a foothold in this world in the future!"

Meng Chengyan said solemnly: "I only follow my heart, what do people in the world think about me?"

Meng Chengyan was so angry that he actually laughed out loud, and then said: "Okay...okay...you follow your heart! Then let me ask you, 13 years ago, father and mother fell one after another, and Meng's internal and external troubles, who is it? Supporting the Meng family? You have been weak since childhood, and the doctors said that you are doomed to be unable to practice Taoism all your life. Who never gave up and took care of you? Gathering herbs, you end up with pain all over your body, and you are destined to be mediocre in this life! Now that you are strong and healthy, and you are ranked in the top ten of the list of celestial masters, who is it that gave you all this with your life!"

Meng Xi'an saluted solemnly again: "They are all elder brothers."

"You still know that I'm your elder brother." Meng Chengyan looked at Meng Xi'an intently and said, "If it wasn't for my elder brother who has worked hard for more than ten years, how would you be able to achieve this 'follow your heart'!"

Meng Xi'an paused, then suddenly knelt down and saluted Meng Chengyan, her forehead hit the stone brick with force, and the dull sound made Meng Chengyan stunned.

Meng Xi'an didn't stand up again, still pressed his forehead against the cold stone brick, and said word by word: "Brother's great kindness, Xi'an can't repay you in this life, even if you risk your life, Xi'an will protect you Brother Zhouquan. If there is an afterlife, Xi'an is also willing to be an ox and a horse for the eldest brother."

Meng Chengyan lowered his head, looked at the top of Meng Xi'an's head, and was speechless for a moment, feeling sad in his heart.

After a while, Meng Xi'an's voice came out again.

"Brother, it's a pity that An only wants the truth."

Meng Chengyan was completely powerless, slumped on the bed, smiled wryly and shook his head, "The truth...the truth..."

Meng Xi'an got up slowly, and supported Meng Chengyan who was staggering.

Meng Chengyan waved him away, and then said: "You just need to believe, I'm telling the truth!"

Meng Xi'an looked at Meng Chengyan, took a long time before slowly taking a few steps back, and then asked: "Brother..."

Meng Chengyan panted quickly, don't even look at Meng Xi'an.

Meng Xi'an made up his mind and continued to ask vigorously: "Eldest brother, Xi'an is not forcing you, I only have a few questions to ask you, I hope elder brother can fulfill it."

The skylights were already opened on the left and right, and Meng Chengyan didn't have the energy to entangle with his stupid brother, they were brothers anyway, Meng Chengyan didn't believe that Meng Xi'an could really turn against him.He simply smashed the jar and said angrily: "Okay, if you have any questions, just ask! If you want to ask, I won't necessarily answer!"

Meng Xi'an took a deep breath and asked, "Xing Yuan said that the elder brother has been chasing and killing him for a year."

Meng Chengyan said angrily: "This evildoer harmed my disciple of the Meng family, shouldn't I kill him?"

"Whether people were harmed by Xingyuan or not, it doesn't matter for the time being." Meng Xi'an continued, "Xingyuan also said that the river monster in Wanyang River was raised by the Meng family for a hundred years. Is this true?"

Meng Chengyan squinted at him, and said, "If you have the ability, go and catch that river monster yourself and ask him!"

Meng Xi'an closed his eyes, and then asked: "The last two questions, first, whether our Meng family really participated in the framing of Yumen back then. Second, did you, elder brother, in order to cover up the truth, abuse Mr. Lu and Sijun?" Has your lord started?"

Meng Chengyan sneered and said, "The truth? You want to know the truth?"

Meng Xi'an said: "Brother, please help me."

"Okay, okay, my good brother." Meng Chengyan laughed out loud, and when she had had enough, she looked at Meng Xi'an and said, "I won't answer these questions for you. From now on, I won't bother You! If you want the truth, go find the truth yourself. I want to see, what can you do if you find the truth you want! Can you do better than me!"

Meng Xi'an's expression was solemn, and he knew that he would not get any answers if he continued to ask.

In fact, Meng Chengyan's reaction had already told him the truth.Saying more won't help, it will only hurt the feelings between their brothers in vain.

Meng Xi'an sighed silently, then saluted Meng Chengyan: "Don't blame elder brother, it's Xi'an's fault. Eldest brother, please rest, Xi'an will go down first."

After saying that, Meng Xi'an backed away and left, Meng Chengyan roared angrily: "I won't care about you anymore! You fool, you have to suffer a little to know what is right and what is wrong!"

Meng Xi'an's footsteps paused, but did not stop. After going out and closing the door, Meng Chengyan still heard the sound of smashing things coming from the room.

This night, no one is destined to sleep peacefully.

Meng Xi'an walked in the manor for a while, and when he stopped, he found that he had reached the door of the Treasure Pavilion.

If what Xingyuan said was true, then the letter that he placed high hopes on clarifying Meng's innocence might not exist at all.

If there really wasn't one, then it was really a trap for Meng Chengyan to invite Lu Xiang and Sijun over.

Meng Xi looked at the Treasure Pavilion calmly for a long time, and finally walked in.

He didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.He just confirmed one thing, he already had doubts, if he didn't check clearly, a thorn would be stuck in his heart, and he would never be at peace.

The Zangbao Pavilion houses the treasures cherished by the patriarchs of the past dynasties and the most accomplished clansmen. Each person has a small grid, and all the clansmen of the Meng family will pay homage to their ancestors here every year.

In the past, Meng Xi'an never thought about what he should put in his grid when he passed away, but today for some reason, he thought so clearly that when he died, he would put the string of small beads in his hand into his grid.

While thinking, Meng Xi'an saluted the relics of the ancestors until he came to the small grid that belonged to his father.

The rosewood box is very beautifully carved.

Meng Xi'an had never been so nervous before. He clenched his fists and loosened them again. After repeated several times, he finally made up his mind. He knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to plead guilty. After kneeling for an hour, he finally stood up again and opened the door. that box.

At that moment, Meng Xi'an felt that her breathing was stagnant.

There is no letter in the box, but a pair of children's cloth shoes.

At the fifth watch, the east is white.

Xingyuan has already checked around the periphery of Xuankong Temple, and tried many times, if he wants to use this key to open the formation, he can't go around the bend of the river, and he has to bump into the river monster.

The river demon is very familiar with the surroundings, and he has an advantage in the dark, Xingyuan can only plan to wait until dawn.But in fact, any plan is useless, this river monster is too powerful, it can be divided into countless, the three of them can open this formation safely, and it is lucky to release Lu Xiang and the others.

"Don't be afraid." Xingyuan himself was so nervous that he still tried to comfort the other two, "If you are in danger for a while, you two should quickly hide in the Qiankun bag, if you stumble, Lu Xiang will have to make peace again. I'm messing around."

Those two agreed, and then the three of them waited anxiously for the dawn. The first sun rose. Although they couldn't penetrate the thick gray fog, their range of sight expanded somewhat.

Xingyuan took a deep breath, and nervously flew towards the Hanging Temple.
