Chapter 36 Love and Hate
The four of them were silent for a while, Ming Yuan suddenly burst out laughing, the three couldn't help but looked up at him, but he raised the corner of his mouth and said to Yi Feng: "You hate him very much—"
Mu Bai didn't know how Ming Yuan came to such an outrageous conclusion, just about to speak, he was surprised to see Yi Feng nodded his head, and said slowly: "That's right, I hate him."
Mu Bai looked at Yi Feng in disbelief, and heard him continue: "I know I don't have the qualifications, but I still hate Ah Ming deeply. If he doesn't risk his life to save me and Xiaoru, but let us clean up If I die there, I will not linger on until now, living such a painful life."
"Do you feel pain?" Mu Bai asked softly, looking straight into Yi Feng's cloudy eyes due to old age, "You were the leader of the martial arts, and you once stood at the pinnacle of your life; you took revenge, married a wife, and Having a child; how complete your life is, even if it does not last forever, someone will mention it a hundred years later, but Song Ming has gained nothing and left nothing behind. If living is more painful than dying, why are you still sitting Here, instead of going to die willingly?" It was ridiculous that he would sympathize with such a person just now.
Yi Feng shook his head slowly, and smiled wryly as he shook his head: "Are you willing to die? I thought about going to death at first, but when I was seriously injured by a demon assassin with a poisonous blade and my life was dying, I suddenly started to be afraid." , I'm afraid that if I don't survive the Tianzhu floating island and will be born again, I'm afraid that I will die like this, in a place that doesn't belong to me."
Mu Bai looked at Yi Feng blankly, he didn't quite understand.
"Since avenging my master, I began to feel empty. The surviving Qingcheng sect brothers and sisters have become strangers, even Xiaoru. I don't want to see them, I don't want to talk to them, or I don't want to see them at all. Anyone, I don't want to talk to anyone, I just want to go back to that isolated island in the South China Sea, but I can never go back."
"But you still married your junior sister?" Mu Bai sneered.
"Because life has to go on. At that time, I wanted a child crazily, my blood, my continuation, my connection with the world. Later, I had children, but every time I saw their faces, I still I will think of Ah Ming, he is like a wronged soul who refuses to leave, always reminds me that I owe him a life, and I still have a happy time for most of my life... I must live well, until the day when the floating island reappears Day, go back and look for him, if you can't find him, stay there, die there, just like him back then..."
Speaking of this, he stood up, knelt down with a "putong", looked up at Mingyuan and said sincerely: "As Long Jun said before, my life is approaching, and there is no more 100 years to wait. If the trip fails, I can only end with hatred. I don’t know how the soul will suffer if it goes underground. The dragon is the god of water. If I can get the help of the Lord Dragon in the South China Sea, I must be able to achieve my lifelong wish. I only ask for your mercy. ...Please have mercy..." He said solemnly and kowtowed three times to Ming Yuan.
Ming Yuan sighed, he has been worshiped by too many people today, but he is not a god with great powers, he cannot give them even a little bit of protection, even his own life is in danger.
He bowed and lifted Yi Feng up, leading him to sit back on the chair, and said, "Over the years, have you found out how your junior brother knew the secret of the floating island?"
Yi Feng shook his head and said: "The Qingcheng sect rules, underage disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain alone. Ah Ming was only 17 years old when he went to sea, and he had only gone down the mountain twice with his master and a few brothers before. I really can't think of him Where did you know the secret from?"
Mu Bai pondered and said: "You said that your junior brother was already seven years old when he arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, so who are his parents?"
Yi Feng said: "I also asked Ah Ming, but he kept it secret. He only said that his parents were fishermen in the South China Sea. They used to fish for a living, but somehow they abandoned their family and business and hurried northward. On the way, they encountered famine. , both of them died of illness and starvation. But if we try to check their relatives and friends, we will find nothing, and the clues will be cut off.”
Ming Yuan couldn't help frowning. It would be impossible for the three mortals to safely pass through the sea of death feared by the aquatic people and land on the legendary floating island of Tianchao. So simple.
Now that there is no guide, even if he claims to be quite capable, he dare not go rashly, let alone bring a little monk with a bucket of water and a rather old mortal—according to his guess, that Yi Feng devoted himself to cultivating immortals when he was about 40 to [-] years old in order to prolong his life. At that time, his body had already started to decline. Li is basically no different from ordinary people, and if there is danger, it will not play a half role, but will be a burden.
Seeing that his brows were tightly furrowed, Yi Feng felt uneasy, afraid that Ming Yuan would not agree, and hurriedly said: "I have been collecting information about the floating islands over the years, and I think back over and over again when Ah Ming took us to and fro in the belly of the mountain. I have drawn a map of the route I took during that time, and even the boats for going out to sea, clean water and food, and other supplies are all ready..." He lowered his voice as he spoke, as if he knew that none of these things could impress Ming Yuan. He couldn't help turning his praying eyes to his friend Taiwei Daoist.
Ming Yuan really wanted to help Yi Feng, and his heart seemed to be getting softer and softer these days with Mu Bai, but if the floating island didn't have the Gouyue Sword they had to look for, he would never get involved Mu Bai risked his life together to help an outsider, so he asked bluntly: "The national teacher told us just now that the divine sword Gouyue is also on the island."
Yi Feng's eyes dimmed, and he pursed his dry lips, but Daoist Taiwei smiled lightly, and said, "I have something here, please take a look at it." After finishing speaking, he took out a jasper box from his bosom and handed it to him. come over.
Ming Yuan took the box in his hand and looked at it, he saw that the box seemed to be cut and carved from a whole piece of palm-sized rough jade. Jackie Chan's piece of uncut jade is high and low, and it is rare to hold it. I don't know what kind of treasure is worthy of such a container.Thinking so, he raised his hand and opened the box.
As soon as the box was opened, soft red light overflowed, Ming Yuan looked intently, and saw a piece of red colored glaze lying quietly in the jade box.The whole body of Liuli is fiery red but extremely transparent. Its shape is long and narrow, like a red phoenix eye, looking down on everything around it.Ming Yuan stretched out his hand to touch it lightly, and immediately felt the scorching and pure aura emanating from Liuli.
"Is there a restriction on this box?" He carefully closed the box and turned to ask Taiwei Zhenren.
The national teacher nodded, "If the restraint is not imposed, I don't know how many big monsters and demon heads will be attracted by the aura of the phoenix eye. approximate.
Ming Yuan handed the box back, "Such a treasure is really rare, I don't know where it came from? Why did the national teacher take it out for me to see?"
The national teacher said calmly: "Because this is the only thing Yi Feng brought back from Tianzhu Floating Island, and it is also a part of the Gouyue Sword you are looking for."
Ming Yuan's breath stagnated, "You mean, this is the phoenix eye embedded in the legendary Gouyue Sword?"
Hearing this, Mubai felt anxious, and couldn't help tugging at Ming Yuan's sleeves lightly. Ming Yuan understood, and immediately explained: "In ancient times, the Taicang God and the Phoenix Emperor fought, and the battle lasted seven days and seven nights. , Taicang Shenjun finally picked out Fenghuang's left eye with a sword, and cut off Fenghuang's head when Fenghuang was in unbearable pain. The phoenix eye was refined into a red glaze, which was inlaid on Gou Yue's sword hilt."
Mu Bai's eyes lit up, "In this case, Gou Yue must be hiding on the floating island. In this case, we..." He spoke quickly and almost answered the matter, but fortunately he remembered that this was Ming Yuan. For the matter, even if he could be regarded as his lover, he couldn't do it for him, so he quickly shut up and turned his head to look at Ming Yuan.
Ming Yuan didn't look back at Mubai, but set his eyes on Yi Feng, "According to your previous narration, you didn't enter any secret room or find any treasure all the way in the belly of the mountain. How did you get the phoenix eye?"
Yi Feng said: "It's true that I didn't get the phoenix eye from the belly of the mountain, but I picked it up on the deck of the ship after the floating island sank to the bottom of the sea. Although I can't figure out what happened, it must have come from the floating island. .” Seeing that the hesitant look on Ming Yuan’s face was still there, he couldn’t help but continue, “I wonder if Lord Long is willing to go to the South China Sea?”
Ming Yuan frowned and turned his gaze to the national teacher, and said, "If you think about it, you won't go to sea with us, will you?"
Daoist Taiwei bowed and said: "A teacher of a country dare not leave without permission, please forgive me, Lord Long."
Ming Yuan swept across the face that was tightly covered by white gauze, and said slowly: "I know you are not disfigured. I want to see your face."
Master Taiwei shook his head calmly and said, "No."
Ming Yuan snorted and stood up: "I don't associate with people who hide their heads and show their tails."
Seeing Ming Yuan getting up, Mu Bai had no choice but to stand up, but he was at a loss in his heart.Although Mingyuan's situation is not as bad as Yi Feng's, but it really can't be delayed any longer. It is hard to find the artifact that can break through the dragon's teeth. If you miss this opportunity, it is not known whether there will be a next time. It's a mystery, unpredictable mind, at least you should give it a go.
The national teacher sighed, and said: "I am afraid that Lord Long doubts more than my appearance, but now the time has not come, and I can't say a lot of things. I would like to swear here that if you can be safe Bring Gouyue back, and I will definitely answer any questions you raised with the truth, and I will never break my promise."
Ming Yuan stared at him for a while, shook his head, then pulled Mu Bai to turn his head and strode outside.Mu Bai knew in his heart that he could only follow Ming Yuan at this time, even though he was reluctant, he obediently followed and left the small courtyard of the national teacher.
