The Portal of Wonderland

In mid-air, Shi Mu looked at what happened below with a strange expression.

When he first saw this scene, he was a little surprised, but then his mood changed a little unconsciously.

The situation at this moment is actually different from what I experienced back then.

His eyes flickered, his body flew out, quickly penetrated the carriage that had already left the small fishing village, and entered it.

There were only the old man in green robe and the young man Shi Mu in the carriage.

The boy Shi Mu sat with his back against the carriage, eyes closed, with a calm expression, as if he had fallen asleep.

The green-robed old man also sat quietly by the side without speaking.

From time to time, the carriage bumped up and down slightly, and moved forward rumblingly.

The carriage galloped all the way, and the group of people walked for about a month, passed through several cities, and finally arrived at Fengcheng.

Entering the city, the speed of the carriage did not decrease at all, and it galloped all the way in one direction of the city, and stopped in front of a courtyard gate after a while.

Shi Mu flew out of the carriage, stood in the air, and looked towards the front courtyard.

The large courtyard in front is the mansion of the Jin family, and the small courtyard in front of you is in a slightly remote place.

Master Shi, we're here. The green-robed old man jumped off the carriage and said.

The young man Shi Mu nodded and got off the carriage.

The news of their arrival seemed to have been informed to the members of the Jin family in advance. At this moment, several people were standing outside the courtyard to greet them. The leader was an old man in gold robes who seemed to be a housekeeper.

Brother Jin, how is the master now? The old man in green robe went up to meet him and asked.

The situation is not very good. The master is holding on with a ray of true energy. I'm afraid... it won't last long. Fortunately, you came in time. The housekeeper said.

When the young man Shi Mu heard this, his body trembled, but he immediately regained his composure.

He is... The housekeeper looked at the young man Shi Mu.

Yes, this is Young Master Shi Mu, quickly take us in. The green-robed old man said anxiously.

The butler nodded, and walked in with the two of them.

The young Shi Mu quietly clenched his fists in his sleeves, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

In mid-air, Shi Mu followed slowly, looking at everything below calmly.

The three of them walked through two courtyards and came to a clean and elegant courtyard. A strong smell of medicine came from the room.

Master Shi, the master is inside. The green-robed old man said.

The young man Shi Mu nodded, and walked into the courtyard, but the housekeeper and the green-robed old man did not follow.

He quickly came to the hall, from here he could see a middle-aged man lying on the big bed in the bedroom, and a graceful and elegant woman was serving him beside him.

Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Yongrong looked over, with a strange look on her face, it was Aunt Zhen.

Are you Shi Mu? Aunt Zhen looked the boy Shi Mu up and down and said.

The young man Shi Mu nodded, and looked at the person on the bed.

The middle-aged man on the bed shook his body when he heard the sound, and turned his head with some difficulty.

In mid-air, Shi Mu's heart trembled, and he looked at the person on the bed.

The middle-aged man's face was haggard, his cheeks were sunken, and he was lifeless, only his dim eyes had a gleam of light, and after seeing the young man Shi Mu, they seemed to lighten up.

Mu'er... The middle-aged man's lips moved slightly, and he uttered two hoarse words.

Aunt Zhen's beautiful eyes flashed, she slowly walked out from the back room, and walked outside without making a sound.

There was a hint of complexity in the eyes of the young Shi Mu, he hesitated for a moment, and walked over.

The middle-aged man looked at the young Shi Mu, and his eyes lit up again.

You don't look very much like me, but more like your mother. The middle-aged man tried his best to smile and said with difficulty.

When the young man Shi Mu heard his father mentioning his mother, his body froze for a moment, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but seeing the current situation of the middle-aged man, he forcibly endured it.

Mu'er, I can ask whatever I want, don't worry about it. The middle-aged man saw Shi Mu's expression and asked.

Okay, then let me ask, why did you leave your mother in the first place? the boy Shi Mu asked in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man didn't answer right away. He looked up at the sky, and after a while he said slowly, I wasn't from that fishing village, and I wasn't even from Daqi. A small mountain village. Since I was a child, I have loved martial arts and sticks, and I longed to become a powerful martial artist one day... When I was eighteen years old, I left the mountain village and started wandering outside...

In mid-air, Shi Mu's eyes showed surprise.

About his father, his mother never told him back then, it turned out that his father's background was like this.

When the middle-aged man said this, he stopped, panting slightly, as if speaking was already extremely strenuous for him.

Seeing this scene, the young Shi Mu's mouth moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything.

In order to pursue martial arts, I have traveled to many places. Although I have endured a lot of hardships, I have also gained a lot... My aptitude is not bad. When I was twenty-five years old, I finally reached the innate realm in one fell swoop. Middle-aged The man rested for a while, then continued.

Having said that, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

There was a look of surprise in the eyes of the young Shi Mu, and Shi Mu raised his eyebrows in mid-air.

At such a young age, to be able to reach the Xiantian Realm is very high-spirited. I got carried away for a moment, forgot the heights of the heavens and the earth, and had an argument with another Xiantian master over a trivial matter, so I started fighting. Although my strength is slightly higher than his, I killed him , but that person fought back when he was dying, and seriously injured me, fell into the sea, and drifted to the small fishing village where your mother lived, and it was your mother who rescued me from the sea and brought me to the village. There was a trace of tenderness in the eyes of the middle-aged man. .

At this moment, his face suddenly changed, he arched his body, and coughed violently.

The boy Shi Mu's complexion changed, and he couldn't help walking to the bed.

In a flash, Aunt Zhen, the old man in green robe, and the butler appeared in front of the gate at the same time.

The green-robed old man looked anxious, and wanted to walk in, but Aunt Zhen stopped him with her hand.

Shi Lang wants to meet his son alone now, so don't go in and disturb them. Aunt Zhen's face was full of pity and worry, but she still took a deep breath and said.

But... the green-robed old man frowned and said.

It's okay, I just gave him a green spirit pill, and it will be fine for the time being. Aunt Zhen said.

As soon as she finished speaking, the coughing in the room slowly stopped.

The three outside the house let out a sigh of relief.

Aunt Zhen waved her hand, and the three of them walked towards the distance.

Inside the room, the middle-aged man gasped for a while, and slowly calmed down, a blush appeared on his face.

You... If you feel uncomfortable, you don't need to say it. The young man Shi Mu said in a low voice.

Let me go on, otherwise there may be no chance in the future. The middle-aged man smiled and said.

At this time, his spirit looked better.

In the middle of the sky, Shi Mu's heart sank, this is the situation of returning to the light.

She has always taken good care of me. I have never met a woman as gentle as her, which made me feel at ease. We fell in love and got married soon, and we had you. That period of time was the happiest time of my life. The young man continued, with a look of happiness in his eyes.

Since that's the case, why do you want to leave? The young man Shi Mu couldn't help but interrupted and asked.

Although family makes me happy, there is always one thing in my heart that I can't let go of. The middle-aged man said with a sigh.

What's the matter? The boy Shi Mu couldn't help asking.

That serious injury, although I recovered from the injury, my cultivation has fallen to the acquired state. Although I am very satisfied with the life of your mother and child, I always want to return to the innate state, and this idea is getting stronger and stronger When you were three years old, I finally couldn't bear the idea of ​​leaving the village. The middle-aged man said.

In mid-air, Shi Mu's eyes showed a complex expression.

It turned out that this was the reason why my father left.

For his father's choice, he didn't have much dissatisfaction and resentment at the moment.

As a martial artist, he understands how powerful the temptation of power is.

The corner of the boy Shi Mu's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

It's not easy to restore my strength. I searched for a long time, but I still found nothing. Finally, by chance, I came to the Jin family in Fengcheng and met Yuezhen. Speaking of which, Yuezhen and I have never met before. She accidentally saved her life... She had the opportunity to advance to the innate realm, but she gave up this opportunity in order to help me recover. Unfortunately, I also failed to recover my strength. Many things happened later, and finally I joined the Jin family. The middle-aged man stated calmly.

The young man Shi Mu stood silently, expressionless.

Shi Mu slowly fell to the ground from mid-air, and glanced at the boy himself.

At this moment, he clearly felt the emotions in the young man's heart, which was full of various emotions, and more, they were contradictions.

In order to pursue martial arts, I cruelly left your mother and son, and married someone else, which is even more unlucky. I am not trying to justify anything by telling you this, let alone asking for your forgiveness. You can come to see me before I die... I'm already very satisfied... The middle-aged man's complexion gradually turned gray, and it became difficult to speak again.

You...don't talk. The boy Shi Mu said with twitching eyes.

A hint of relief flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he looked at a cabinet beside the bed.

You open that cabinet and take out the contents... said the middle-aged man.

The boy Shi Mu was stunned and hesitated for a moment, but he still walked over, opened the cabinet, and took out a white envelope from inside.

That's the entry recommendation letter from Kaiyuan Martial Academy... It's my little compensation for you... You have to work hard to cultivate, don't waste this opportunity... The voice of the middle-aged man became lower and lower.

Shi Lang... A figure walked in quickly from outside, it was Aunt Zhen, her face was covered with tears.

Next to her was a girl younger than Shi Mu, who was Shi Yuhuan.

Yuezhen... I owe you too much in this life... Mu'er and Yuhuan... I will be entrusted to you in the future... The middle-aged man looked at Aunt Zhen and said slowly, raising his hand, wanting to caress her. Aunt Jane's cheek.

He raised his hand halfway, and suddenly dropped it powerlessly.

Shi Lang... A mournful cry sounded.

Although the young man Shi Mu didn't speak, two lines of tears flowed from his face.
