In the middle of the night, Chu Wanning woke up from his light sleep. Mo Ran had already gotten out of bed, and his clothes were already properly dressed. He sat in front of the table with a single lantern lit. He was currently fiddling with a pile of items.
The uneasiness and helplessness from before had all faded away under the lingering charm of this single lantern. Chu Wanning lazily looked at him for a while, then said, "What are you doing?"
"Shizun is awake? Is it because the light is too bright … "
"No." Chu Wanning asked again, "What are you doing?"
Mo Ran pursed his lips and laughed a little embarrassedly.
Chu Wanning got up, put on a robe, and walked barefooted to his side. He leaned against the table and watched. It turned out that his begonia handkerchief was on the table. Mo Ran took the other three plain white handkerchiefs and was currently embroidering the patterns on them.
"You're embroidering a handkerchief?"
"… … I want Shizun to make it only for me." Mo Ran put down the needle and thread, and put one hand around Chu Wanning's waist. He leaned over and kissed his chest.
Chu Wanning had a scar on his chest.
Chu Wanning never mentioned the origin of this scar, so Mo Ran didn't ask too much.
It was just that when they were skin to skin, they would often subconsciously kiss this spot out of pity.
Mo Ran said, "I'll do the other people's handkerchiefs. In any case, they won't know who did it … … "As he spoke, he picked up a handkerchief that had already been embroidered, and asked with a smile," Shizun, look. Don't you think it's similar to yours? "
Chu Wanning sighed, "I don't need to look to know it's similar."
How could this person's desire to possess be so strong?
Chu Wanning stroked Mo Ran's hair. Mo Ran also smiled and looked up at him.
The lights were too dim. Mo Ran's eyes hurt from staying up too long. When he looked up, they were slightly bloodshot, but his face and smile were gentle and bright.
Chu Wanning asked, "Are you still thinking about those useless things?"
Mo Ran stared blankly for a moment before replying softly, "Don't think about it anymore."
"Yes," Chu Wanning said. "That's good."
"Just let nature take its course …" Mo Ran seemed to be saying this to himself, but also to Chu Wanning.
Let nature take its course.
Such days were far too rare.
He, Mo Weiyu, was not a god. He was just a small duckweed floating in the boundless world of mortals. Everyone was selfish. Giving a person who was about to die of thirst a cup of water, and after taking a sip, asking that person to take the initiative to throw away the entire cup of water and choose to die of thirst — this was really too difficult, and almost no one in the world could do it.
Mo Ran thought to himself, 'I should drink some more sweet rain.'
In the future, when he entered purgatory again, it would not be so painful.
There was a clear pool of past memories, enough to comfort his dry life.
The next day, everyone gathered outside the villa and set off for Jiao Mountain together.
Villa Master Ma ordered his subordinates to prepare a sturdy horse for everyone. There was also a Qiankun Bag embroidered with a night cat hanging in front of the black and gold saddle. Xue Meng rode on the back of the horse and picked up the bag to take a look. He immediately wrinkled his nose in disdain.
Suddenly, he heard someone chuckling beside him. "This Villa Master Ma's taste is really unflattering. It's fine if there's a big headed cat embroidered on the Qiankun Bag, but there's also a red 'horse' character embroidered on the back. Interesting."
Xue Meng turned his head and saw Mei Hanxue riding on a tall white horse. She was also playing with the bag. He raised his light blue eyes and glanced at Xue Meng with a smile that was not a smile. The water droplet shaped crystal hanging on his forehead exuded a gentle luster. It swayed, making his face even more charming.
Xue Meng rolled his eyes at him and scolded in a low voice, "Scum."
The scum only smiled and narrowed his eyes. He was not angry at all. Instead, he said, "Young Master Xue, you don't look too good today. Did you not sleep enough?"
"..."
"There's a blue halo under your eyes and a black shadow on your forehead. I have some herbal ointment here that can help you sleep …"
"Mei Hanxue, are you very free?" Xue Meng endured for a while, but found that he could not hold it in anymore. He angrily turned around and said, "Did the Treading Snow Palace expel you from the sect? What are you doing here at the peak of life and death? "
"My master told me to come here." Mei Hanxue still had a smile on her face, "Give your father some of the hidden weapons he wanted yesterday."
"Then get lost after you're done."
Mei Hanxue actually did not get angry. She smiled and said, "Well, I'll get lost now."
"???"
Xue Meng simply felt that this person was sick. The few times he had seen him, he was either as soft as a woman or as cold as a stone. Last time, when he bumped into him at the Confucian Wind Sect, he was still secretly mocking him. Today, he had changed into a good person who said, "You hit my left cheek, so I'll send my right cheek to you" kind of face. Xue Meng couldn't hold back anymore. He turned the reins around and stared at the extremely handsome man on the horse's back.
"No, Mei Hanxue, I don't have any enmity with you, right?"
"No."
"Then am I very familiar with you?"
Mei Hanxue smiled, but did not answer quickly. However, her pair of light colored eyes shone with a fine light. When the wind blew, her fine golden hair fluttered under the hood. Under the sunlight, the color was even more gentle.
Xue Meng did not really want to hear his answer. He frowned and said, "After delivering the hidden weapons, get lost immediately. If you want to hook up with people from other sects, I don't care. Don't think about making a good relationship with me to fish in troubled waters and dirty my little junior sisters at the peak of life and death."
"… Pfft." Mei Hanxue did not hold back and laughed out loud. However, she immediately clenched her hands into fists and coughed lightly. She looked at Xue Meng with interest for a while and said, "Alright."
He took the reins of the horse, and a silver bell was tied to his white wrist. When the wind blew, it jingled.
Mei Hanxue smiled and said, "Let's go."
Xue Meng stared at him. "Hurry up and leave? Do you want me to set off firecrackers for you? "
Mei Hanxue really left. After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head. "Right, there's one more thing."
Xue Meng did not want to hear it, but Xue Meng was curious, so he asked in a bad mood, "What?"
Mei Hanxue smiled slightly and pointed a slender white finger at her lips. She was a refined scum dressed like a beast. She laughed in a low voice and said, "You're really spicy."
Xue Meng's face instantly turned green!
"You … You – you!!" He was completely disgusted. You've been talking for a long time, but you didn't even come out half a word. This was because the Sect Leader's team was gathering and preparing to leave. Mei Hanxue smiled and waved at him, urging her horse to go far away.
When Mo Ran rode to Xue Meng's side, Mei Hanxue had already disappeared into the sea of people. Mo Ran saw Xue Meng patting her chest in anger and repeatedly retching.
Mo Ran was stunned for a moment. "… Did you eat something bad?"
"Ugh – don't talk to me now. I f * cking ate dog shit early in the morning. I …"
Mo Ran: "… Although you're very hungry, no matter how hungry you are, you don't have to eat dog shit …"
"Scram!!!" Xue Meng pushed Mo Ran's chest, pushing Mo Ran and his horse away. He was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas had Nirvana. He shouted into the distance with a red face and a thick neck, "Ugh –! Dog shit! You f * cking spicy! "
After a while, thousands of people set off from Lonely Mountain and headed towards Jiao Mountain. This scene was very rare. After all, everyone usually went out on their swords. Even if they gathered a large group, they would arrive in an instant. It was rare to see a group of cultivators on horseback.
Many of them had never ridden a horse for such a long time. It was fine on the first day, but they couldn't stand it later. Fortunately, Villa Master Ma's Qiankun Bag had everything. There were pills that could refresh the mind, small fans that could blow in the wind, and even a few books made of silk. These books were printed with the prices and appropriateness of various novel goods in Taobao Mountain Villa.
Xue Meng stared at Villa Master Ma, who was shouting under the shade of a tree while resting. The second richest man in the world was shouting happily and sparing no effort. "Gentlemen, gentlemen, if there's any goods you like, just tick them in the book. I, Ma, will deliver them one by one when I go back. I'll guarantee a return in seven days and a change in fifteen days. When the immortal tools you ordered arrive, I'll pay you in full."
Many people really had nothing to do, and Villa Master Ma definitely did it on purpose. He only threw these books in such a big Qiankun Bag. There was nothing else that they wanted to see.
After staring for a long time, there were bound to be one or two items that moved their hearts. Even Xue Meng couldn't help but pick up the pen and draw a circle on the words "Delicious for all ages, light taste, good choice of ingredients, great increase in spiritual power — Nanping Mountain Spiritual Swallow's Nest Cake".
He finally knew how to "make money" Mo Ran talked about.
After seven days of traveling, Villa Master Ma made a lot of money, and everyone was a little tired. One evening, they finally arrived at the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
"Dragons have proud bones, I hope you will respect them."
Xue Zhengyong looked at the huge rock in front of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range and read the words on the rock. He turned around and asked Nangong Si, "Young Master Nangong, what does this mean?"
Nangong Si said, "It means that for the rest of the journey, you must walk on foot. Moreover, from the moment you enter the mountain until the barrier around Jiao Mountain opens, you must not speak dirty words. Otherwise, you will be punished."
Since Nangong Si gave such a warning, all the sect masters immediately passed the message down. However, each sect's method of communication was different. The Palace Master of the Treading Snow Palace picked up the jade flute at his waist and blew twice. Master Xuan Jing shook the silver bell in his hand. Jiang Xi stood motionless. It was Hua Bi 'nan who passed the message. Hua Bi' nan waved his sleeve and a cloud of black smoke came out. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that it wasn't actually smoke, but thousands of little flying insects. They all flew to the ears of the Lonemoon Sect disciples and warned them.
Xue Meng was extremely disgusted and said, "Han Lin Sheng Shou is really abnormal. Could it be that his entire body is filled with insects?" He suddenly thought of something and turned to Shi Mei and said, "Speaking of which, you went to Lin Ling Yu to study. You didn't interact with Hua Bi 'nan, right? Don't play with insects when the time comes. That'll really be enough for me to deal with. "
Shi Mei turned his head and smiled, "… Young Master, you worry too much."
At this time, the Peak of Life and Death also began to pass the message. The other sects more or less wanted to show off their skills. Xue Zhengyong, on the other hand, used the Sound Amplification Technique and shouted,
"After entering the mountain range, don't speak dirty words! If you can't control yourself, use the Silence Spell to block your mouth! Do you all hear me? "
His loud voice reverberated through the forest, shaking the trees and stopping the clouds. The echoes lingered in the air.
"Do you all hear me? Do you all hear me? Have you arrived? Have you? "
All the cultivators were speechless.
