"Surprise?" Mu Qingxue raised her head from behind him, "What surprise?"
Ning Yi carefully put her on the ground: "Wait for me."
Mu Qingxue stared at Ning Yi curiously, watching him run to the left, about seven or eight meters away, and then squatted on the ground, seeming to be rummaging for something.
After a while, he had something in his hand.
A huge ring with a green crystal inlaid on it.
Green-grade crystals are purely natural. I didn’t expect to find such a thing halfway up the mountain. No, this thing is obviously artificial. Someone must have thrown it here.
Does this thing belong to him?
"Where did this thing come from?" Before he could figure out the knot, Mu Qingxue at the side had already walked over, reached out and snatched the ring from his hand, holding it in his hand eagerly and looking at it carefully.
"It's over there." Ning Yi pointed to the place where he just found the ring.
"How do you know this thing is there?" Mu Qingxue looked horrified. This guy's eyesight must be too good.
"Reflective" Ning Yi took a breath and explained.
Mu Qingxue did not question his unreliable explanation. She stretched out her hand to hold the ring tightly and looked at it carefully and repeatedly.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yi suddenly noticed that her eyes were red.
"This ring belongs to my fourth uncle." Mu Qingxue pursed her lips and whispered, "This crystal was dug out from the body of the first jagged sand monster he killed, so he never parted with it.
It was used, so I asked someone to set it on the ring and gave it to my fourth aunt. Later, my fourth aunt fell in love with another man, who was your master."
"My fourth aunt ran away from home. She only left this ring, and my fourth uncle took this ring with him. He never left me and never went to find my fourth aunt."
She sighed, looked down at the ring in her hand, and tears fell down: "My fourth uncle has never been married, and he has devoted himself to martial arts. He has also committed a lot of murders in his life, so others gave him a nickname.
, Butcher Hugh, but he was very kind to me at home. He taught me martial arts carefully since I was a child. All the crystals he obtained were given to me. Later someone said it was because I looked a bit like my fourth aunt."
Ning Yi reached out to help her wipe away her tears.
I don't know how to evaluate it.
Butcher Hugh, this name sounds a little familiar. It seems that martial arts history has mentioned that he once served in the military when the sand demon was rampant. In order to build a separation wall in Yanmen, humans used special forces to assist the military in resisting the invasion of the sand demon.
One person kills the sand demon's leader, the Sawtooth Sand Demon, and prevents the sand demon from destroying the newly built separation wall.
After retiring, he became the chief warrior of the Mu family. He was the most capable warrior in the Mu family, but his reputation was not very good.
I didn't expect that he would have such a relationship with Feng Yingkong.
"My fourth uncle has never left this ring. It seems that his fourth uncle is no longer around." Mu Qingxue turned around and looked at the two huge pits not far away. She knelt down and bowed from afar. "
Fourth uncle, Xueer will take you back tomorrow."
Ning Yi took a sip of the white mist, and he also remembered that Feng Yingkong also left a ring for himself.
"Let's go!" Ning Yi took a look and saw that it was completely dark. If they didn't go down, they might have to spend the night on the mountain. The problem was that there was no place on the mountain for them to spend the night.
When they went down the mountain, Ning Yi still carried her on his back. Mu Qingxue was probably afraid that Ning Yi would be bored, so she took the initiative to talk about some of Mu Xiu's past.
Probably he was also a charming young man when he was young. Later he fell in love with Li Yinhua, the belle of Yanjing University, and was successfully married by him. After the marriage, the relationship between the two was very good, until Feng Yingkong appeared.
Li Yinhua fell in love with Feng Yingkong, who was already famous at that time. However, Feng Yingkong had already married a wife, and his wife was just an ordinary commoner, and she was not a beautiful woman.
Therefore, Li Yinhua must have lamented the unfairness of fate, and then abandoned everything in the Mu family, and actually ran away from home and went south to find Feng Yingkong.
"Did it succeed?" Ning Yi asked curiously.
I didn't expect that Feng Yingkong was so marketable and could even make a married man run away from home for him. I was really ashamed of myself.
"Of course it didn't succeed, because in addition to Feng Yingkong's wife, she also had many rivals. Zhong Chengbo's fiancée Wu Shanshan also abandoned Zhong Cheng because of Feng Yingkong. At that time, except for the two of them with special status
Besides, there are many women who are also deeply passionate about your master."
"Later, after learning that your master already had a wife, many people were not willing to accept it. They even jointly set up a scheme to kill your master's wife in an attempt to replace him. Your master was so heartbroken that he announced that he would never marry again. Since then,
, your master should have lost his ambition to dominate the world and only concentrate on developing in the Haixi region, otherwise this world will not belong to the Wu family, the Lin family, or the Zhong family."
Ning Yi couldn't help shaking her head and sighing: "What about your fourth aunt?"
"She died. She committed suicide in despair. The fourth uncle took her body back and buried it in the Mu family cemetery. Then the fourth uncle came to challenge your master. Your master ignored him. The fourth uncle injured many people in Blue River Manor.
, then your master took action and defeated my fourth uncle with three moves, but instead of killing him, he let him go."
"But my fourth uncle has never given up the idea of killing your master."
Ning Yi sighed, not knowing how to evaluate it.
Was Feng Ying Kong wrong? This matter had nothing to do with him in the first place.
Was Mu Xiu wrong? It is a man's nature that no one can bear the thought of his most beloved woman falling in love with another man.
The fault is that Li Yinhua should not have fallen in love with someone she shouldn't have fallen in love with. The fault is that they were born in an era when heroism was rampant, and Feng Yingkong was the most awesome hero.
"Ning Yi, if you were your master, what would you do?" Mu Qingxue lay on his back and asked.
Ning Yi thought for a while and was speechless. He thought that Feng Yingkong should have tried to persuade those who were obsessed with him, but the effect didn't seem to be very good.
So he simply chose to escape from the world.
"Don't you think you are following your master's path?" Mu Qingxue said.
Ning Yi smiled: "How could I be like him? The people I like and the people who like me are all normal people."
When we got down the mountain, it was completely dark and both of us were wet.
I found a hotel nearby and booked two rooms.
Of course, they only slept on one bed, and the two of them spent the whole night together.
Early in the morning, Mu Qingxue got into the car specially designed to pick her up and left first. If Ning Yi guessed correctly, she would take people to the mountain to explore the two huge pits to see if she could find out anything about Mu Xiu and Zhong Cheng.
of anything.
Ning Yi returned to the Fairy City base.
Calm has returned to the base, and the dead and injured have been accommodated, but there are still a group of surrendered freedom warriors waiting to be dealt with.
Ning Yi gave them three choices.
If they voluntarily join the Fairy City Base, then the Fairy City Base will give them an identity and they will become battlefield warriors or guards of the Fairy City Base from then on.
The second option is to send them out of Linglan Island. They will never be allowed to enter the island again, but their cultivation must be abolished.
The third option is to let them leave, and there is no need to join the Fairy City Base, but they must register their information and all information, and then cooperate with the Fairy City Base. The captured Spectral Claw monsters must be handed over to the Fairy City Base for processing, and the Fairy City Base will acquire them.
prey, but the price will definitely be suppressed, and the Fairy City base will not guarantee their safety.
In the end, nearly half of the warriors chose the first option.
The rest are the third item, no one chooses the second item, and certainly no one wants their life's cultivation to be ruined.
Theoretically, the first option is better than the third option, because in addition to safety and security, the income will not be less than the third option, but there are still so many people who choose the third option.
This is not to say that the free warriors on the island have any backbone.
In fact, to put it bluntly, these people are the sand that infiltrated into Linglan Island from other wealthy families. Unless they want to subvert the island's structure, it is impossible for them to join the Fairy City base, otherwise they will be regarded as spies if they are found out.
However, although they have not been added to the Fairy City base, they are all registered and secretly monitored. They are also listed as dangerous elements. They live in panic all day long. Therefore, the island can now threaten three bases.
’s power has basically collapsed.
Ning Yi looked at the newspaper. Today's headlines looked particularly large.
"Head of the Mu family, Linglan tries his hand and kills the red dragon himself!"
Ning Yi now understood why the old man wanted to slay the dragon. He was indeed showing off, but he was showing off to the world. He just wanted to tell the world through such an action that I, Mu Lie, am here and have the guts for you.
come over.
In other words, he came to Linglan Island specifically to support himself.
Moreover, the time was chosen just right, just the day after Yang Hong and Ning Yi were assassinated, so it was full of warning.
He took a look and found that today almost all the media and newspapers were reporting on the news and images of Mu Lie slaying the dragon.
What such a large-scale report means is already very clear.
In the Zhong family, Zhong Sheng stared at the four brothers Zhong Shiying, Zhong Shijie, Zhong Shiping and Zhong Shian beside them, with very ugly expressions.
In the room, the five people had been silent for a long time.
The Zhong family has not convened a meeting of this scale for a long time. The last time it was when something happened to Zhong Chuwen, a few members of the Zhong family were summoned.
It can be seen how important this matter is to the Zhong family.
"Why, you are all mute. I asked you to come here to let you speak, not to act like a clay Bodhisattva." Zhong Sheng's face was gloomy, and he slowly scanned the faces of the four of them, and finally fell on Zhong Shiying.
There was obvious dissatisfaction in his face and eyes.
Zhong Shiying's face twitched. It was his own fault. How could he not know that the old man was already dissatisfied with him. (To be continued...)
