Chapter 7 Broken Void
The sun stayed in the sky and began to scatter more light.
The temperature in the air suddenly increased a lot, as if to make up for the cold in the early morning.
The crowds on the roads in Lianshan Town are becoming more and more crowded, almost at the same time. It seems that the lively level of the streets also changes with the rise of temperature.
Mo Hanshan and his wife walked out of Lianshan Town and towards the Lianyun Mountains in the distance.
After a long silence, Mo Hanshan's voice had a hint of regret and spoke again to Yan Xi: "Because when we asked Uncle Ye to steal the 'Sad Bi', Uncle Ye did not agree immediately, but only replied several days later that he agreed to take action.
That's why my father felt that Master Ye was very likely to not return to Yunyan Valley. But you also know that except for my father and Master Nie, the other Masters were not in the valley and could not find the right staff for a while. We were close to each other, so we rushed over."
Then he sighed lightly and said with some helplessness: "According to the person contacting Uncle Ye, when he saw Uncle Ye again, he looked haggard, as if he was over ten years old. Although we had no feelings for Uncle Ye, we would definitely not hold back if we really started to fight, but... I can understand Uncle Ye's feelings."
Yan Xi was silent for a moment, but asked in confusion: "Uncle Ye was one of the seven disciples of our Yunyan Valley back then. He was sent to Qianshan Pavilion for nothing. In the end, it may not be used for us. Is this worth it?"
Mo Hanshan fell into silence again. It was not until he walked over a hundred meters that he looked up and breathed a long sigh, and said firmly: "It's worth it, absolutely worth it. Compared to the value of sadness, let alone sending Uncle Ye over, even if he sent his father over, my grandfather wouldn't have hesitated at all. Back then, it was just because of Uncle Ye's origin and having some connection with the Ye family in Qianshan Pavilion that he chose to let Uncle Ye over."
Yan Xi nodded, as if he wanted to ask what secret was hidden in sad Bizhong. In the end, for some reason, he refused to ask. Instead, he said in confusion: "Then our Yunyan Valley let Uncle Ye enter Qianshan Pavilion like this. How can we guarantee that he can continue to think about our Yunyan Valley?"
"I asked my father this a while ago, but he said that this was just a gambling game." Mo Hanshan seemed to be thinking about something and replied casually, "It is said that grandpa once said that losing a bet means losing a disciple with extraordinary talent, and winning a bet means getting the most important secret treasure in the secret realm."
Speaking of this, Mo Hanshan whispered, "Actually, it is not unsure. It is said that my father said that Mr. Ye's life is in a difficult situation. When he was young, his parents were killed by bandits. It was his grandfather who rescued him from a nest of bandits. Therefore, with Mr. Ye's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to sell Yunyan Valley.
But you also know that Master Ye’s character, which values affection and friendship, is actually a double-edged sword. Although it can guarantee that he will not betray Yunyan Valley, over time, the possibility of him selling Qianshan Pavilion is almost gone."
"In this way, there is some reason." Yan Xi nodded.
Then he asked in confusion: "But now Mr. Ye is obviously grateful to Qianshan Pavilion and is tied to his family, why did he still betray Qianshan Pavilion?"
"It can't be said that it must be betrayal..." Mo Hanshan hesitated for a moment, with a trace of confusion in his voice, "According to my father's intention, the reason why Uncle Ye agreed to take action should be due to some unscrupulous reason, not at our request."
Then he pondered for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Although the specific reason is not guessed now, according to my personal thoughts, I'm afraid there is something to do with the sudden death of the two old masters of Qianshan Pavilion..."
The two of them fell silent, as if they were thinking about why "Uncle Ye" escaped from Qianshan Pavilion, a donkey cart hurriedly passed by the two, and the cart was full of cabbage. The driver didn't know if it was because he was in a hurry to rush to go. When he passed by Mo Hanshan, the donkey cart suddenly shook and was about to fall to Mo Hanshan.
Just when the driver was so shocked that his face turned pale, Mo Hanshan had already reached out and gently supported the handlebars. The tilted donkey cart was slowly pushed back as if it was supported by huge force and returned to normal.
"Thank you, thank you, this master. I was a little anxious just now. I'm really sorry for you..." The middle-aged coachman wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and kept bent down to apologize to Mo Hanshan.
With Mo Hanshan's movements and strength to hold the donkey cart, even if he was clumsy, he knew that the two people covered in veils in front of him were definitely not ordinary people. If the car had really been overturned just now, the cabbage would be a trivial matter. If he really hit Mo Hanshan, he would have caused a big disaster.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Just look at the clothes Mo Hanshan is wearing and the shoes on his feet. If they are stained, even if he buys ten cars of cabbage, he will not be able to afford it.
Mo Hanshan withdrew his hand holding the handlebar, shook it as if nothing had happened, and said gently: "It's okay, it's just a small matter, you don't have to take it seriously. It's just that there are crowds on the street, so you have to be careful."
"Yes, little one understands it. It's all because of the little one being confused. He wants to sell the cabbage early so that he can rush home to eat, and save some money for meals..." The middle-aged coachman who drove the bus did not expect that a big man like the other party was so easy to talk to. He burst into tears and blamed himself in a stack of voices.
Mo Hanshan nodded and stopped talking. Then he slapped the donkey on the butt, watching the driver walking forward with his back hunched over and gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Yan Xi looked at the silent man and suddenly chuckled and said, "Senior Brother, you always look down on those guys who want to take pictures of your horse in the world, but you are very caring for these common people."
"Haha, those people in the world have a lot of things, but they are still unwilling to be content. They know how to get more of each other." Mo Hanshan smiled and said, "In contrast, although these young people who are also calculating on some things, they are much simpler than those guys and are not as greedy as they are."
Then he seemed to be a little emotional. Without waiting for Yan Xi to speak, he said in a slightly self-deprecating tone: "Actually, when I said that, I was smiling at those people in the world, but doing the same thing. It was much more greedy than those greedy guys in the world."
"What does senior brother mean? You have always disdained to fight for power and profit. Even if it is a matter in the valley, you can avoid it. How can you say it is greed?" Yan Xi asked softly, but his tone was really puzzled.
Mo Hanshan seemed to be a little touched. After sighing, he said helplessly: "You have said that, junior sister, I have never liked to care about those trivial matters, but why is it so active this time? After receiving the news from my father through Feige, he came to stop Master Ye without saying a word and even brought you with me. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
"It's nothing, the master said in his letter that the situation is extremely urgent. As juniors, it's okay to share the worries for the elders." Yan Xi smiled and comforted, "What's more, we are husband and wife, so we naturally have to come out together."
Mo Hanshan shook his head, and after another silence, he suddenly said seriously: "Junior sister, I originally didn't want to tell you something to avoid increasing your troubles. After all, I don't know if I can meet Uncle Ye. But now Uncle Ye is probably in the town, so it's a matter of time before we meet, so I think it's better to let you know that it's better to have a clear mind in your heart."
Yan Xi nodded, and the two of them turned over and rode on the horse at the same time, and slowly walked forward.
Mo Hanshan thought for a while and said slowly: "According to my father, in order to deceive Qianshan Pavilion, my grandfather did not teach him any martial arts to Uncle Ye, just because he was worried that he would be seen by the old Lord Ye. Therefore, Uncle Ye looked no different from an ordinary person except for the name of a disciple of Yunyan Valley.
In the end, my grandfather might think it was not safe enough, and even secretly controlled a bandit. On the way that the old Pavilion Master Ye had to go out once, he killed all the villagers from a small village in Yuexi... "
"This has been done a little too much, right?" Yan Xi seemed to be startled and said in shock, "Didn't it mean that our four major sects in the secret realm, the two major families, and the royal family have agreed not to intervene in the lives of ordinary people?"
Mo Hanshan gently shook the whip in his hand and whispered: "I asked this too, but my father just said lightly, "You don't understand the role of sadness," and sent me away.
After I knew the origin and function of Sadness Bi, although I still felt a little reluctant, I asked myself, if I were in my grandfather's position, I would have done this."
Yan Xi didn't say anything, but just looked at his senior brother slightly, waiting for him to continue explaining.
Mo Hanshan paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa once entered an unknown place in the West. Although he was forced to withdraw after less than a mile deep, and was seriously injured, he accidentally obtained an extremely ancient animal skin. There was a small piece of weird text and an exquisite figure on the animal skin. After decades of research and some speculation, he roughly understood that what was recorded on the animal skin should be about a piece of jade called "Muxing".
According to the tone of the recorder, this jade should be a treasure that the immortals salivate during the ancient mythology period. Its shape should be a piece of green round jade. As long as you can obtain this jade and understand the mystery, you may break the void and leave the world, and live forever from then on."
"Senior brother, you won't really believe that there are immortals in this world, right?" Yan Xi's extremely surprised voice sounded, interrupting Mo Hanshan's speech. If it weren't for the veil blocking her, she would definitely see her beautiful chin, which was about to fall to the ground.
But Mo Hanshan turned around and looked at Lianshan Town, which was getting farther and farther behind, and then replied: "This is not a question of whether I believe it or not, but it is combined with another legend, and things have become too coincidental."
Yan Xi did not speak, and Mo Hanshan continued with great tacit understanding: "It's about Mr. Ye Da, the founder of Qianshan Pavilion. You must have heard of it. According to grandpa's speculation, Mr. Ye Da's sudden rise back then was inseparable from the sad Bi's decision."
Speaking of this, Mo Hanshan hesitated for a moment before continuing: "According to the records in the valley, Mr. Ye reached the late stage of the innate stage when he was over forty years old, dominating one side, and even our Yunyan Valley did not dare to provoke him. And at the age of over sixty, his cultivation finally reached its peak, and finally entered the unknown land to the west, broke the void and became the only master in the legend of the secret realm to break the void for hundreds of years."
"Breaking the void? Mr. Ye really broke the void and left?" Yan Xi was extremely surprised. "I always thought that this was just a random fabrication by Qianshan Pavilion in order to put gold on his face."
Then he realized that he asked in disbelief: "Senior Brother, look at what you said, it is not that the jade named 'Muxing' recorded is the sad green of Qianshan Pavilion, right?"
"According to grandpa's guess, that's probably what it means." Mo Hanshan said calmly, "In order to confirm this news, grandpa has collected countless ancient books about Mr. Ye Da. Even the small families that had an intersection with Mr. Ye Da and finally fell into decline did not let go. The final conclusion that Mu Xing is sad. It was also finally confirmed that Mr. Ye Da was definitely real when he broke the void and left."
Speaking of this, Mo Hanshan paused for a moment before saying slowly: "As for why it is called Sad Bi, my grandfather entered the library of the palace and saw it in some secret royal ancient books. It seemed that before Mr. Ye Da, every master of "Mu Xing" was either seriously injured or suddenly died when he wanted to comprehend something from it. So later people called this beautiful jade bi "Sad".
Seeing Yan Xi silent, Mo Hanshan seemed to be depressed, and he sighed in a low voice: "So I said, I am actually more greedy than those guys in the world who are engaging in the whole day..."
"Haha, senior brother, don't lie to me." Yan Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smirked and shook his head, "Since you have said so much, I know you must be moved, but I know you won't take risks at will."
Mo Hanshan suddenly laughed, turned to look at Yan Xi and said, "Oh, it's really difficult to lie to you. In fact, I am really moved. After all, who doesn't envy the likes of breaking the void?
But now I don’t even count the innate, so what can I do if I get Xuexinbi? I am rushing over this time, mainly because I don’t want Xuexinbi to fall into the hands of Uncle Jin, which will endanger our secret realm’s survival at that time.”
After saying that, he sighed softly and said, "In addition, my father is a little older..."
"I know that Master is old, but what does Uncle Ye have to do with Uncle Jin? Didn't Uncle Jin always go into seclusion?" Yan Xi asked inexplicably in his speech.
Mo Hanshan hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "Weiyang City, as long as Uncle Ye wants to go north, he will definitely pass through Weiyang City. As long as he arrives in Weiyang City, he will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of Uncle Jin..."
Seeing the woman trying to continue talking, Mo Hanshan suddenly shook his head and said, "Forget it, junior sister, let's not talk about this for now. Let's hurry up and rush to Lianyun Mountain Range. The situation here is too complicated. I guess it will be difficult to explain for a few days and nights. After the matter is over, I will tell you slowly, okay?"
Yan Xi seemed to be a little worried, but after hesitating for a while, he seemed to know Mo Hanshan's personality, so he nodded gently and gave up his plan to continue asking.
