Volume 3: The Demonic Cult Advances Eastward Chapter 119 Looking back, it turns out to be an old acquaintance
Guo Ding was already drunk.
Heart trembles and hands shake.
He lay on the ground, staring blankly at Li Muchan's back, and then looked at the two people beside Li Muchan.
The aura of these two people seemed to be there and not there, their steps rose and fell silently, and there was a restrained gleam in their eyes. It was obvious that they had cultivated their internal strength to an extremely high level. They were obviously not ordinary people and were extremely mysterious.
When did these two great masters appear in the world?
Li Muchan held the wine jar in one hand and pressed the knife with the other, carefully looking at the most terrifying swordsman in the martial arts world in the past thirty years.
It's really scary.
This man was just standing there, as if he had merged into one with the world. There was no murderous intent, no smell, and he was as silent as floating clouds and fallen leaves, standing proudly between heaven and earth.
But when he looked at it carefully again, he was an extremely ordinary man, like a woodcutter or a farmer, even shabby and downtrodden, with his hands hanging down . He didn't have the extraordinary demeanor of "the fastest swordsman in the world".
Can't see through.
The maple leaves are as red as blood, the setting sun is as fiery as fire, and it also reflects on the red eyes, as if they were soaked in blood.
"pity……"
Li Muchan sighed secretly, although this man was a master of swordsmanship, he was easily deceived, especially by women.
Lin Xian'er had deceived him and almost killed him, and Shangguan Xiaoxian had also deceived him.
Lin Xian'er was the most beautiful woman in the world and she felt she could control the hearts of all men in the world, but in the end she fell into depravity and lived a life worse than death. Before she died, she entrusted her daughter to the man who had been hurt by her and had a broken heart.
But who could have thought that the Flying Swordsman actually agreed.
This would be impossible without love.
Maybe Lin Xian'er also loves this man, but she loves him too late. True love cannot be bought with beauty and youth. Looking back, she finally realizes that this man is the only one in the world who is worthy of her trust and entrustment.
Looking back on this woman's life, it was simply an illusory dream. The first half of her life was prosperous and extravagant, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. No one knows how many heroes and heroes fell in love with her. The second half of her life was miserable and she died in a brothel and at the hands of her own daughter.
Shangguan Xiaoxian also deceived him.
After Lin Xian'er found out that she was pregnant with Shangguan Jinhong's child, the first person she looked for was A Fei. It was because of this that she and her daughter were able to survive and avoid countless hunts.
It can be said that Ah Fei watched Shangguan Xiaoxian grow up, but he never thought that this girl had been enduring all this time, pretending to be crazy and stupid in those dangerous assassinations, and now she has become the leader of the "Money Gang", dominating the world, even more terrifying than her mother.
Both mother and daughter deceived him.
But they all believed him.
This person is worthy of trusting everything to because he is so kind.
Even a scheming woman like Shangguan Xiaoxian, who had countless conspiracies and tricks, could not bear to deceive him again and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense and a war was about to break out, Li Muchan suddenly smiled gently, and the laughter was like a spring breeze passing through, which completely dispelled the murderous intent in the sky: "Sorry for the offense, you also know that many people in the martial arts world are eager for my death, so it is inevitable that I am a little nervous."
Ah Fei stared at him, also examining him, and then said something unexpected: "I have seen you, in the ancient city of Luoyang."
Li Muchan's eyes moved and he thought about it carefully, but he had no impression at all.
Ah Fei added: "I'm in the dark."
Li Muchan raised his sharp eyebrows and said with a sigh , "What a pity."
Ah Fei gave him a last deep look and said, "It's a pity indeed."
Because at that time Li Muchan was still a good person with a kind heart, and he could save an unrelated person without any suspicion.
Li Muchan suddenly reacted, as if remembering something, his eyes suddenly fixed: "You saved me?"
At that time, he was framed and imprisoned, his property was seized, and he was in danger several times. He was only one step away from death, but he always managed to escape danger. Li Muchan thought that he was protecting himself and bought back his life with money, but now when he thinks about it carefully, there are indeed many coincidences.
In just a moment, Li Muchan understood a lot of things. He stood quietly for a while and said softly, "Don't be nervous. This person may come to me to reminisce about the past."
Hearing these words, all the murderous intent in the maple forest retreated, and even the two mysterious men hid themselves under the shadows of the trees again and retreated several dozen feet.
Li Muchan laughed at himself: "I thought I got to where I am today by my own ability, but I didn't expect it was because of Shangguan Xiaoxian... Please come in!"
Ah Fei stepped into the pavilion and said slowly: "Good people always deserve to live."
He glanced at Guo Ding lying on the ground and frowned, but he seemed to remember how he was trapped in love back then, and there was a hint of imperceptible emotional fluctuation in his cold and indifferent eyes .
Li Muchan asked: "Are you here for the 'Ghost Secret Book'?"
Ah Fei said coldly: "I want to know where you got the secret book from?"
Li Muchan sat back in the pavilion, grinning, "That's a very complicated story, but I don't think you'll be interested in listening to it."
Ah Fei said, “I have.”
He stood upright, waiting.
Li Muchan was a little surprised. Logically speaking, although this man was kind-hearted, he was also very aggressive and cold, and would never talk so much nonsense to him.
Could it be that after wandering for so long, my state of mind has changed?
"Well, considering that you saved me back then... when should I start?" Their eyes met, he rubbed his brows, thought for a while, and finally spoke in the evening breeze: "Then let's start from when I met someone who was exactly like me."
Today, Dao Twelve is no longer a secret, and his past experiences are no longer a secret.
The dusk deepens and the night grows darker.
One person was talking, one person was listening, and there was also Guo Ding, a bystander. His mind was in turmoil as he listened, as if he was trapped in a murderous situation, witnessing one terrible trap after another, and finally becoming speechless.
A whole night passed, until day and night turned into another day, and Li Muchan stopped talking.
He finished speaking.
Ah Fei was still standing there, as if nothing could change his expression or make him bend down. His whole body was like a cold sword.
"Do you have anything to say?" Li Muchan asked.
Ah Fei was silent for a long time, then said, "I am leaving Zhongyuan."
Li Muchan frowned: "So that's why you came to see me? For Shangguan Xiaoxian? Or for this martial world? Or for yourself?"
Ah Fei glanced at the rising sun at the end of the distant sky, and a deep sense of fatigue flashed in his eyes: "Probably, both."
Li Muchan looked calm and said softly, "I will never change my mind easily."
Ah Fei's eyes suddenly became deep and bright, and filled with deep weariness: "It doesn't matter. At least I'm sure I didn't save the wrong person back then. This world has been through many ups and downs, with people coming and going, grudges and grievances. Now all my old friends are gone, my old enemies are gone, and I can't find a reason to draw my sword anymore."
He suddenly started talking more.
Hearing these words, Guo Ding and Li Muchan's eyes trembled and their hearts beat wildly.
This man is already invincible.
How quiet! How desolate! How lonely!!!
"I have to go."
But before leaving, Ah Fei took out a cloth bag from his arms.
"Originally, I was going to give it to Ye Kai, but I suddenly changed my mind. Or maybe I should have given it to you back then. Also, the 'Ghost Secret Manual' you practiced has a big flaw. If you have a chance, you can go to the old site of the 'Ghost Palace' and maybe you'll gain something."
Guo Ding was stunned, he had already guessed what was in the cloth bag.
Now that this top swordsman is about to retreat far away from the Central Plains, he must leave behind his legacy.
But with the peerless sword art in front of him, Li Muchan frowned and actually hesitated.
He is not the kind of person who is only interested in benefits. He knows how to repay favors, distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and has a bottom line in his heart. If he takes this thing, it will cause great consequences in the future. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but this person is deeply involved with Shangguan Xiaoxian.
But after thinking it over again and again, Li Muchan finally took it.
When Ah Fei saw him like this, the indifference in his eyes softened a little. He had his own world in his heart and would not be bound by what those people said about black and white, good and evil, right and wrong.
Li Muchan was a good man in the past, and now he is an extremely smart man. Even though he has made no secret of his ambition, he still has his own bottom line. This alone makes him better than too many hypocritical good people in the world.
Ah Fei said no more. In the morning breeze, he took a step out of the pavilion. There was no sign of how he moved, but in the blink of an eye he was already seventy or eighty feet away and disappeared among the red leaves. He left in a carefree and detached manner.
Li Muchan was stunned for a long time. He thought that he was here to call for punishment and a fierce battle was inevitable. He did not expect such an unexpected turn.
Guo Ding looked at Li Muchan's uncertain expression and said expressionlessly, "If you don't want it, you can just give it to me. There's no need to act so embarrassed."
Li Muchan stuffed the cloth bag into his lapel without changing his expression, turned around and strode away.
The path was deserted, and a thick layer of frost had formed on the weeds on both sides.
After walking a short distance, they saw Ye Kai and Ding Linglin rushing towards them like shooting stars. When they saw Li Muchan, their faces suddenly changed. They thought that the battle was over and Guo Ding had died in the pavilion.
"It's too late."
Ding Linglin's eyes were filled with tears, and she asked in a sobbing voice: "What have you done to Guo Ding?"
Li Muchan put his hands behind his back and smiled sinisterly: "Of course I will kill him."
After saying that, he walked away even faster, and behind him he heard Ding Linglin sobbing and cursing.
"Damn you Li Muchan!"
The foreshadowing is almost over, the next picture shows the arrival of the demon army, and the climax is about to come.
