Seeing this, no matter whether it was Mu Wuqing in the dream, or Mu Lin Wuming who was watching from outside the dream, they all fell silent.

Mu Lin gritted his teeth, and the dark tide rolled in his eyes - no matter how he thought, the master had also encountered a bottleneck, and the root of this bottleneck came from his mother.

Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him: [Ah Lin, it turns out that the sword master has been tempted so early. 】

He raised his head to catch Mu Lin's expression, but he happened to meet Mu Lin's eyes.His gaze moved back from a distance, and his dark eyes stared straight at Xu Feng, which made Xu Feng's whole body tense.

【Afeng, I won't practice the ruthless sword anymore. 】The root of Mu Lin's tongue was bitter, and he said sourly.

Xu Feng was taken aback for a moment: 【...Okay, if you don't practice, don't practice. 】

Anyway, Mu Wuqing let go of his mouth a long time ago, promising not to force Mu Lin to practice the Wuqing sword again.Now, Mu Lin has his own opportunity to learn from the unknown swordsman.Xu Feng firmly believed that he would definitely find the most suitable kendo and swordsmanship for him.

At this moment, Mu Wuqing, who had been silent for a long time in the dream, bowed and said, "...Yes, Master. Take care."

After getting the consent of the old man, Mu Wuqing quickly left the dormitory for the wounded.He was exhausted from running around for several days, and when he came back, his master revealed the secret buried deep in his heart. He still walked quickly, but his face turned paler, and his brows frowned into a shallow "Chuan".

Xiao Liu was still waiting for him on the bamboo forest path, but Qi Yuan had disappeared.As soon as he saw the senior brother, he waved his arms from a distance and shouted: "Senior brother, why is Master looking for you? Is the old man okay?"

"...Nothing, it's okay." Mu Wuqing paused, and said, "Where's Qi Yuan?"

Xiao Liu showed a helpless expression, and said: "After I helped her get away, she suffered from princess illness again, lost her temper at me, and flew back to Suzaku Peak."

Mu Wuqing said: "What did she say?"

"What else can I say? I'm yelling at you to go to her immediately after seeing the master." Xiao Liu couldn't help complaining a few more words, "If you want me to say, this is too difficult to serve. Bringing so many nuns Forget about the maid, even the shadow guards raised in the palace followed her all the way to Mount Taiyang, guarding her all the time, helping her deal with such things in secret. Has Qi Yuan been out of the Wuji Sword Sect until today? What is she? I don't even know, I thought the years are quiet!"

"If you want me to say, at least you are joining my Wuji Sword Sect in the name of cultivating Taoism, you should at least act like it." Xiao Liu has been displeased with Qi Yuan for a long time, and for a while, his emotions erupted and chattered endlessly, not paying attention to Mu Yuan. The ruthless frown became tighter and tighter, "She is good, she pesters you every day, senior brother, and has become a joke of the entire Wuji Sword School without knowing it. I really don't know how you and Endless endure her! She..."

"Enough." Mu Wuqing said suddenly, "Don't gossip about people behind their backs."

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment: "Yes. But senior brother..."

"A lot of things are not her original intention, and she can't make the decision." Mu Wuqing interrupted him, and said, "Qi Yuan wanted to come to the Wuji Sword Sect to practice Taoism alone, but the empress refused, and insisted on sending someone to serve her. Protect her."

"She is not ignorant of the turmoil in the outside world. Nine months ago, she rode away from Luojing alone, and chased us all the way to the Kaifeng area. When the demons were plotting a surprise attack, she promptly informed our brothers and helped us fight back in one fell swoop. Kill the demons."

"Later, she was found by the empress, and she was taken back by force. Do you still remember? When we rushed back to Wanjian Village, we always encountered scattered demon corpses along the way..." Mu Wuqing said, "Recently I Only then did I realize that it was she who ordered the shadow guards to accompany us in secret to clear the way for us."

Xiao Liu was dumbfounded, and after a while, said: "But, we don't need her escort..."

Mu Wuqing continued: "Three months ago, the demon clan bloodbathed Wanjianzhuang, most of the fellow disciples died tragically, and the master was seriously injured and dying... Our brothers and master fled northward with the master, and along the way we always received elixir, elixir, and changing clothes for no reason. Clothes, and even a person who claimed to be a quack doctor appeared, and used a set of golden needle secrets to save Master's life."

"At that time, we were all enlightened by the Dao of Heaven, and Master would surely turn the crisis into safety, but..." Mu Wuqing said indifferently, "The golden needle rejuvenates life, and the hand rejuvenates. After thinking about it, who else can do it except the imperial physician?"

Xiao Liu was completely stunned.

Mu Wuqing said: "Xiao Liu, the world is so big that it is not only the fairy world who has great power. In fact, the masters in the imperial city are like clouds. In addition to the general of the national teacher and the Buddhist monk of the Jokhang Enci Temple, there are also shadow guards of the Forbidden Pavilion and royal family members. The worldly masters who have been enshrined... Since the chaos of the underworld, many monks have defected to Luojing, and the imperial city has almost become a golden city in a troubled world."

"At this time, Qi Yuan refused to stay in Luojing and insisted on coming to Taiyang Mountain. His majesty and empress couldn't resist, so he had to compromise." A smile that he didn't even notice flashed in Mu Wuqing's eyes, "She is very annoying , ignorant, annoying and ignorant. However, no matter what the reason is, she did help us. With Qi Yuan's personality, if she knows about the outside world, she will definitely make a fuss and go out with us for peace. chaos."

"Because of emotion and reason, the Wuji Sword Sect must never let the princess make any mistakes." Mu Wuqing said, "Her movements are all under the control of the empress, and the various assistances before must have been acquiesced by the empress. Wuji Jianzong was founded not long ago, and its foundation is still shallow, so we must not be enemies of the royal family no matter what."

Mu Wuqing swallowed the last sentence silently—he also didn't want her to make any mistakes.

Mu Wuqing was cold-tempered, reticent, and it was rare for him to talk so much at one time, and he was always speaking for Princess Chengyuan.It took Xiao Liu a long time to come back to his senses, and said: "Brother, you..."

Why did he feel something was wrong?

Seeing that Xiao Liu was very confused, Xu Feng thought to himself, what's so hard to understand?Everyone in the world will add icing on the cake, but there are very few who give charcoal in the snow. When Mu Wuqing learns the truth behind it, the coldest stubborn stone should melt.

At this time, the screen changed again.A few months later, on a full moon night, with a cool night breeze and rustling trees, Qi Yuan, wearing a long light blue dress, stood side by side with Mu Wuqing in the small pavilion at the back of Qilin Peak.

The moonlight hit her face, coating the girl's face with a soft white light.She was always arrogant, willful and irritable in normal times, but now she was uncharacteristically, with crooked eyebrows and a bright and sweet smile.

Such a moonlight, such a beautiful woman, even Xu Feng, who was watching, couldn't help admiring - the two stood together unexpectedly, they looked like a pair of lovers.

Princess Cheng Yuan tilted her head, smiled and said to Mu Wuqing: "Wuqing, you really want to give me a gift! It's a sword, right?"

About a month ago, Princess Cheng Yuan once kicked stones in the bamboo forest, complaining to Mu Wuqing in a low voice, saying that she gave Mu Wuqing so many fairy artifacts and treasures, and Mu Wuqing accepted a few of them, but did not express anything.

It happened to be heard by Mu Wuqing.

Qi Yuan simply pointed it out, asked him for a token, and said, "Wuqing, can you give me a sword?"

At that time, Mu Wuqing didn't say yes or no.He just stepped forward, patted the top of her hair, and passed her back to Qilin Peak to practice swords.

A month later, Qi Yuan received a letter from Qingluan stating that Mu Wuqing had "leaved the customs" and asked her to wait for him at the small pavilion in the back mountain, and he had a token as a gift.

Both Xu Feng and Mu Lin stared closely at Mu Wuqing in the picture. He stretched out his arms and spread his palms. A white light flashed in his palms, and a fairy sword with radiant light appeared!

Mu Lin murmured: [...it's Tianyuan Sword! 】

This long sword is shining with silver light, it is really beautiful, and you can tell its extraordinary grade at a glance.As soon as Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, he heard Mu Wuqing say: "Send you off."

He handed over the long sword, and Qi Yuan took it happily: "Wuqing, what a beautiful sword! Where did you get it?"

Mu Wuqing said: "An acquaintance was asked to cast it."

The nameless swordsman has been watching these pictures quietly, with a gentle and serious expression, without any emotion.At this moment, he interjected to explain: "Ah Lin, do you know Yi Shu, the master swordsmith in the blue sea and sky?"

Mu Lin firmly grasped the hilt of the Tianyuan Sword, and said, "Yes."

"At that time, your master would go out of Taiyang Mountain almost every ten days and a half months. I speculate that the last time he used the excuse of 'retreating', after going to a certain place to clear the demons, he made a special detour to the blue sea and sky. Please Forge a new sword."

"Yi Shu is a weird person." Wuming said, "If he likes you and thinks you are destined to be with him, he can make a sword for nothing and give it to you. But if he doesn't like you, even if your wealth is gone, It's hard to ask him for a sword."

Mu Lindao: "I heard that Master and that senior Yi Shu have the same ancestor."

"I've heard that too." Wuming changed his voice and said, "At this time, it was two years after the chaos in the underworld and before the nightmare appeared. What's the point. Your master, these up-and-comers just won a big victory, killed several demon generals, and re-sealed several places of chaos. Wujiyuan also strengthened the sword net and formation, and stopped many A weak monster."

Hearing this, Mu Lin understood.Because of this, Mu Wuqing had the time to find the sky stone to ask Yi Shu to forge a sword, and the atmosphere was not as heavy and tense as before.

He looked down at the Tianyuan sword in his hand, then raised his eyes again, looking at the long sword in his mother's hand in the dream.

The two identical fairy swords seemed to overlap through the dream, and he heard Princess Cheng Yuan say: "Wuqing, thank you."

"Your ruthless sword is good, but it's too cold, and the name is not good enough. Hmm... what should this sword be called?"

Mu Wuqing stared at her: "You have the final say."

Qi Yuan caressed the hilt and blade of the sword with his hand, and couldn't help turning around happily again.The skirt fluttered like a blooming flower, she smiled triumphantly: "Tianyuan... yes, it's called Tianyuan!"

"I want everyone in the world to know that - between you and me, a heaven-sent marriage!"

……

Princess Cheng Yuan was so excited that she naturally didn't notice the dark color that flashed in Mu Wuqing's eyes.Xu Feng saw it clearly, and his heart sank.

Thinking about it, Mu Wuqing violated Master's instructions after all, moved his heart and even deeply rooted his love, and went further and further on an irreversible road.It is likely that more than a year has passed, and his ruthless swordsmanship is still stuck on the eighth level, and he can no longer improve it.

This period is a rare and relaxing time after the chaos in the underworld.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. The demons, who had been retreating steadily, had somehow gained some support, and suddenly made a comeback with a menacing attack. The chaos with the underworld was even stronger and more terrifying at the beginning.

No one knows what happened, the situation turned again.Originally, people in the fairy world fought more and more bravely, almost seeing the dawn of victory, but now they suddenly returned to the original point, the monks in the fairy world and the demons were stalemate, and the battle became more intense.

From here, the picture suddenly becomes as fast as flowing water.Both Xu Feng and Mu Lin discovered that Mu Wuqing's "retreat" was getting more and more frequent, and the time was getting longer and longer. Qi Yuan, who was kept in the dark by everyone and always thought that the chaos in the underworld was just caused by ordinary monsters, finally couldn't take it anymore. .

She originally thought that the Tianyuan sword was the token of love between them, and thought that Mu Wuqing had promised them to be together.However, he spent too little time with her, always coming and going in a hurry, leaving her alone, asking him and he kept prevaricating, the reasons were either retreating to practice or taking care of the master, recruiting new disciples or dealing with Qilin Peak affairs.

Did he get tired of her so quickly?Don't even want to look at her more?

Suddenly, Qi Yuan panicked, she seemed to have noticed many details that she had deliberately ignored before - for example, he never personally admitted that he liked her, and he never promised her anything.Even when the relationship was the closest, he just hugged her lightly, restrained and respectful, and never crossed the line.

Could it be that he... never really liked her?

She sat in front of the mirror in a daze, her toes rubbing against the ground.The more he thought about it, the more restless he became, and with a wave of his sleeves, he threw the glazed water mirror on the table to the ground.

With a sound of "click--", the mirror shattered.

Xu Feng thought to himself, girls in love really worry about gains and losses.Princess Cheng Yuan felt too insecure.

But he couldn't bear to blame Mu Wuqing.Xu Feng and others saw that he was getting more and more haggard day by day, old wounds were not healed and new wounds were added, and his spiritual power was also exhausted.Several times, Mu Wuqing came back in the night, covered in blood, and only had time to inquire about Qi Yuan's recent situation from other people, or quietly flew to her princess palace on Zhuque Peak, and glanced at her. If you don't see your face, you will go out of Taiyang Mountain or go down to Wujiyuan again.

Seeing him so exhausted and working hard, Xu Feng couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't fallen in love with Princess Cheng Yuan, would it have been much easier?

He recalled Mu Linka's irritability and anxiety when he was on the fifth level of the Ruthless Sword Art, and thought of Mu Lin's blindness caused by his unsteady mind.

With Mu Wuqing's talent, it is not difficult to reach the ninth level of Wuqing swordsmanship.However, he was willing to risk the backfire of his swordsmanship. He would rather let his master down and hurt himself than choose to obliterate and veto his own intentions.

No wonder... No wonder Mu Wuqing liked her but tried her best to restrain her, so that Qi Yuan misunderstood her and thought he didn't care about her at all.No wonder, after the remnant soul of Princess Cheng Yuan appeared, the ruthless sword master, who had always been calm and self-sufficient, vomited a mouthful of blood. In addition to being too tired and physically and mentally damaged, there was another reason-he fell in love for too long.

However, Princess Cheng Yuan didn't know anything at that time.Yimu's ruthless character and consideration will not let her know.

So... the first thought is infatuated, the second thought becomes obsession, and the third thought becomes demonic.

I don't know when, as soon as they meet, Mu Wuqing will be questioned endlessly by Qi Yuan.Qi Yuan lost his temper at him, threw things at him, and quarreled one-sidedly, but Mu Wuqing never answered or answered, and let her vent.

But the more this happened, the more unbearable Princess Cheng Yuan was.She looked at the tired look on Mu Wuqing's face that couldn't be concealed, and her face gradually turned pale, and she thought to herself, why do you hate me so much?

Whether you hate me or hate me... I will not let you go.

She stood silently by the table, on which a white silk was spread.A trace of pain and cruelty flashed in her eyes, Princess Cheng Yuan bit her finger, and let the blood drop on the white silk, drawing shocking red marks one after another.

A day later, Qingluan flew to Luojing with the fairy book of resoluteness in his mouth.

What she was planning secretly, Mu Wuqing didn't know.That day, he and Xiao Liu took a dozen or so disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect to Wujiyuan, and were ambushed and besieged by a group of demons, killing half of their brothers.

In order to help him break out of the encirclement, Xiao Liu was bitten off his right arm by a Taotie who was waiting for an opportunity to attack, and swallowed it together with the immortal sword in his hand.Mu Wuqing led the unconscious Xiaoliu and other disciples with varying degrees of injury to Wujiyuan, and staggered a bit before standing still.

Eyes full of blood and the eyes that could not be closed when the same door died.But before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, or even have time to grieve for his dead fellow disciple, there were several deep bells ringing in the twilight.

—— ——

As if a heavy hammer hit his heart, he choked for breath, and turned his head to look at Qilin Peak not far away.

A sword shadow in the air was getting closer and closer, and the seventh brother knelt on the back of the sword, crying loudly and shouting: "Senior brother...Senior brother is not good!!!"

"Master...Master, he-has gone!!!!"

Mu Wuqing's eyes immediately went dark.

The ancient wind howled through the abyss, and the rolled up dead leaves flew to the sky.He couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, he just stood there blankly, tears streaming down his face.

Just at this moment, a blue shadow flashed across the sky, and Qingluan let out a shriek and circled three times in the air.The divine bird didn't know what happened, it just flapped its wings and fell from the sky, landing on Mu Wuqing's shoulder.

Mu Wuqing stared blankly at Qingluan shaking off a piece of bright yellow paper with his beak——

When the same family was martyred, the head of Wan Jianzhuang, and Mu Wuqing's master passed away due to serious illness, Qingluan flew back from Luojing all the way, and brought a marriage decree!

The author has something to say: In addition, after Luo Jing met for the first time, Qi Yuan still stayed in the palace, asking people to investigate the teenagers he met that day, and at the same time plotting to go out of the palace to practice.In fact, apart from helping Mu Wuqing and others to escape a plot by the demons nine months ago, she was arrested and returned to the palace later, and then went directly to Taiyang Mountain. I don't know the situation outside the imperial city and Taiyang Mountain. .Mu Wuqing can't let her know, one is because she knows that she will definitely get involved, it is too dangerous and easy to die, one is kindness, the unspoken agreement with the empress, and the other is his own selfishness.
