Chapter 24

Lin Ziran was thinking outside while boiling water, and he didn't know what Mu Yazhu wanted to say to Mu Yang...

It didn't take long for Mu Yang to come out. He looked composed, smiled at Lin Ziran and said, "Do you need my help?"

Lin Ziran looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Mu Yang pondered for two seconds, put his hands behind his back, and said in a serious tone: "Aunt Mu is worried that you will be bullied outside, so ask me if there is anything I can do to help you practice."

Lin Ziran: ... I don't believe it.

After Mu Yang finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to think that this was a good idea, and said to Lin Ziran, "You wait for me." He turned around and left in a hurry.

Lin Ziran: ...

Wait, why is there a sense of foreboding?

Lin Ziran came to Mu Yazhu's room, hesitated for a while, and asked curiously, "Mother, what did you say to Mu Yang?"

Mu Yazhuyun smiled lightly: "It's nothing, just ask him to take good care of you."

Lin Ziran: "..."

Lin Ziran left Mu Yazhu's place and paced back and forth in his room. He always felt that the matter was more than that simple, but Mu Yang seemed very natural, and there was nothing unusual except that he wanted to help him practice... Could it be Mu Yazhu really? Ask him to take care of himself?

At dusk, Mu Yang came over again.

He knocked on the door outside, with a clear voice: "A Ye, open the door."

Lin Ziran hurried over to open the door.

As soon as Mu Yang came in, he took Lin Ziran's hand and went back to the room. His dark eyes were bright and dazzling, he raised his hand and took out a thick stack of cultivation secrets, spread it out in front of Lin Ziran, and said seriously: "This They are all introductory cultivation techniques selected by me at home through the pavilion, you can see if you can use them."

Lin Ziran suddenly felt dizzy. Looking at the stack of secret books, he seemed to be back in the third year of high school, and wanted to say loudly that it was useless! You are useless! But facing Mu Yang's eyes full of hope and encouragement, he opened his mouth for a long time and only uttered one word: "Okay."

Mu Yang smiled, and said: "I know Aunt Mu must have taught you, but her exercises may not be suitable for you, what if there are suitable ones?"

Lin Ziran knew in his heart that this could not be suitable for him, but Mu Yang's kindness was hard to get over, not to mention that Li Ye was actually very eager to become stronger, as long as there was any glimmer of hope, he would never give up, so he couldn't refuse... He showed a little moved With a look of gratitude, he slowly and solemnly said: "Thank you..."

Mu Yang waved his hands, raised the corners of his lips and smiled brightly: "We are friends, aren't we? You're welcome, let me explain to you first..."

After finishing speaking, he took out one of the secret books and began to explain to Lin Ziran from the introduction to the habits to the exercise route. He explained it very carefully and his voice was as beautiful as pearls and jade.

Lin Ziran stared at Mu Yang's side face in a trance, even if the beauty in front of him was delicious, but listening to the lecture is still the best hypnosis, especially such a boring content...

After a long time, he finally couldn't bear the heavy drowsiness, interrupted Mu Yang and said, "It's too late today, I'll just read the rest by myself, if there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask you."

Mu Yang looked at the sky outside and found that it was indeed a bit late, so he pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were soft and warm: "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."

Lin Ziran looked at him 'moved': "Yes."

After finally sending Mu Yang away, Lin Ziran carefully closed the door and windows, then showed a painful expression on his face, looked at those secret books with hatred, and threw them there casually.

He wouldn't watch it!

These things are useless to Li Ye. When Ye Liuyin finds him, he will teach him the Heavenly Demon inheritance. When the time comes, he will reach the sky in one step and directly cultivate into a tuba. Who would waste time doing these useless exercises?

I might as well sleep with this time.

Lin Ziran had a good night's sleep.

The next day I fell asleep in a daze, as if I heard the sound of stones beating on the window...

Lin Ziran rubbed his eyes, opened the window and looked: "..."

Mu Yang changed into white clothes today, his jet-black hair stood up, and the tail of his long hair casually fell in front of him, his handsome face as bright as white jade had a sunny smile on it.

For the first time, Lin Ziran felt that this smile was a bit chilling...

He's coming, he's coming!

Teacher Mu came with his homework! One-to-one love tutoring is about to begin!

[Lin Ziran's tone is sad: I think, in fact, he doesn't have to be so nice to me...]

[System: Aren't you the one who insists on hugging your thighs? 】

【Lin Ziran: I think maybe my mother cheated on me...】

[System: She is doing it for your own good. 】

[Lin Ziran: ... Hey. 】

[System: You say you want credits, but you can't even overcome such a little difficulty, which makes me doubt your determination and perseverance. 】

[Lin Ziran: ...]

I actually doubted my love and persistence in learning, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, the scumbag Lin who was poked in the foot was very unconvinced, he would not even be able to overcome such a little difficulty!

Lin Ziran looked at Mu Yang with a calm and determined expression!

Isn't it just pretending to study?

he can!

Mu Yang looked at him with a smile: "Is there any effect after trying it yesterday?"

Lin Ziran was silent for a moment, showing a lonely look, and said in a low voice, "I tried to cultivate according to the method you said, but I changed several luck methods one after another, but I still can't feel the slightest aura..."

Seeing this, Mu Yang was a little distressed, and quickly comforted him: "It's okay, there are so many introductory exercises from different factions, it will work if you try more."

"Let's take a look at this ice cloud flow technique today..." Mu Yang took out another book and began to explain it seriously: "This spell is suitable for the cultivation of water-type spiritual roots. There are many people who practice it in our Chiyan Immortal Realm. It’s not a very advanced method, but it’s better because it’s easy to get started and the threshold is low, so there are many people who practice this method…”

Lin Ziran seemed to be listening carefully, but actually he didn't listen to a word, he could only stare at Mu Yang's beautiful side face to pass the time.

One speaks and the other listens.

time flies.

It was night in the blink of an eye, and Mu Yang suddenly said to him: "By the way, I heard that if it is difficult to attract spiritual energy into the body due to physical reasons, taking a medicinal bath will have a miraculous effect."

Lin Ziran was absent-minded: "Oh..."

Mu Yang left.

After finally finishing the day's class, Lin Ziran collapsed on the bed like a salted fish...

When I was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door again.

Lin Ziran had no choice but to climb up and open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mu Yang walking in with a big medicine bucket in his arms. He put the medicine bucket on the ground with a bang.

Lin Ziran was dumbfounded.

Mu Yang looked at him seriously, and said, "Take off your clothes."

Lin Ziran: "..."

The two looked at each other.

Lin Ziran was a little embarrassed, but Mu Yang's eyes were clear, without any evil thoughts, which made him feel ashamed...

His heart is too dirty.

【Lin Ziran: How embarrassing does this make me...】

【system:……】

After staring at each other for a while, Lin Ziran finally lost to Mu Yang, and obediently turned around and took off his clothes.

The old and dirty clothes fell on the ground, and Lin Ziran tensed his body uncomfortably, revealing a thin and well-defined back, covered with various scars and wounds, new and old mottled intertwined...

When Mu Yang saw this scene, his heart seemed to be pressed by something heavy, and he couldn't breathe.

He pursed his lips, his eyes were a little distressed, and his voice was soft: "You can go in."

Lin Ziran felt embarrassed because he was naked, so he only dared to turn his back on Mu Yang, and climbed into the medicine bucket carefully. The water temperature was suitable and comfortable, and he suddenly felt that it was actually quite good as a bath...

When he was thinking wildly, his warm palms were pressed against his shoulders, and Mu Yang said in a deep voice, "I will check your body's meridians with luck, and you must not resist later, or you will easily hurt yourself, you know? ?”

After saying that, Mu Yang closed his eyes, and frowned seriously.

Lin Ziran didn't dare to move, not because of Mu Yang's words, but because he suddenly found himself a little...

Fortunately, the color of the potion is dark enough so that he can't see anything, otherwise he could jump off the cliff in embarrassment today!

Lin Ziran cried in his heart, he was still too impure.

The little beauty just wants to help me cultivate, but I covet his beauty...

Mu Yang sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and didn't know what Lin Ziran was thinking.

As time passed, his forehead sweated more and more. He found that once his spiritual power entered Lin Ziran's body, he disappeared like a mud cow into the sea. Lin Ziran's meridians were like black holes, no matter how much spiritual power he absorbed In the end, there was nothing left, this body...sweeping and devouring spiritual power was overbearing and fierce, but it couldn't store any spiritual power at all, so Lin Ziran couldn't cultivate and draw qi into his body.

Mu Yang has never seen such a situation. He has learned a lot since he was a child, but he has never even heard of this kind of physique, so he can't help feeling worried.

Could it be that there is really nothing I can do...

Half an hour later, Mu Yang let go of his hand abruptly, his throat felt a fishy sweetness, but he pressed it down hard.

Lin Ziran looked back and found that Mu Yang's face was pale, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Mu Yang smiled at him, and said in a natural tone: "I lost a little more spiritual power just now, it's nothing to worry about, just rest for a while... You should try to cultivate yourself first, and I'll come back to see you in a few days."

What, haven't you been here for a few days?

Lin Ziran was overjoyed, but with a serious expression on his face, he said, "I will practice hard."

Mu Yang nodded and turned to leave, walking in imperceptible haste.

He left here quickly, and came to an empty alley in an instant, spat out a mouthful of blood, and frowned tightly.

Lin Ziran's physique is too special. If he hadn't been defenseless and allowed himself to test it today, he might not be able to find out the problem...

what is going on……

If he was really born with a dead vein, how could he devour spiritual power.

If not, why can't you practice?

………………

Lin Ziran didn't know this, he only knew that after Teacher Mu arranged the homework, he told him that he wouldn't be here for a few days!

Very good!

Lin Ziran immediately left Chongzhou City with a bamboo basket on his back.

As long as I leave home and pretend to find a secluded place to practice, who will know if I have practiced or not? Perfect!

Speaking of being busy with cultivation these past few days, and having Mr. Mu staring at him while taking a bath, Lin Ziran didn't have time to go to his own orchard, and he didn't know what happened to that blind man...

Lin Ziran quickened his pace, dexterously jumped among the mountains, and soon came to the entrance of the cave.

He lifted the curtain of the hole and walked in.

Seeing that the blind man was still lying there, it was exactly the same as before he left... except that there was less food at hand, and it seemed that he had eaten the fruit he had hoarded for him.

Lin Ziran showed a look of relief. In short, it’s better not to eat raw mice, he doesn’t want to see anything spicy...

The pheasants in the yard are alive and kicking, and the vegetables and fruits are growing well.

Lin Ziran had been listening to lectures and endorsing books for the past two days, and the wear and tear was too great. He felt that he needed to make up for it, so he caught a chicken from the chicken coop, plucked the chicken and bled it to make a roast chicken.

Under the guidance of the system, one success is perfect!

Lin Ziran tore the roast chicken in half, and placed one half beside the blind man.

He has found a pattern recently, the blind man never eats in front of him, he is like a dead person all day long, but when he is gone and no one is around, he will know that he has eaten, and there is no need to worry about it.

Having said that, Lin Ziran still added: "This roast chicken is cooked and ready to eat."

Then Lin Ziran didn't care about him anymore, and started to eat the roast chicken while it was hot, and there were fresh and plump fruits beside it, which melted in the mouth and were so delicious... It's still a comfortable life here.

After eating and drinking, he fell down and fell asleep.

It was almost dark when I woke up.

Lin Ziran glanced at the blind man, and suddenly felt emotional, patted his face and sighed: "You are really lucky, you can survive this way, fortunately you met me, do you know? If it is a bad person, you must have killed him a long time ago." You threw it out of here..."

Thinking that he had eaten so much of himself, Lin Ziran said with heartache again: "I don't expect you to repay me if you are like this. If you really want to repay me, you can live a long life. It's not in vain for me to be with you." So much food wasted on you."

But... Lin Ziran paused suddenly.

Ordinary people who are blind, deaf, dumb and have no legs will definitely not want to live, right? This is simply life is worse than death, but after thinking about it, this blind man would not even die even if he ate mice, I am afraid he still wants to live, and helping him by himself should not be too nosy.

………………

Sure enough, Mu Yang didn't come over these few days, Lin Ziran went to the orchard early every day, and wandered around until night before returning home.

With rare free time, in addition to picking fruits, raising chickens and growing vegetables, Lin Ziran began to study cooking skills, and various food seasoning kitchen utensils in the cave became more and more complete. After all, this place is no better than the previous world. If you want to live comfortably, you have to learn to do it yourself! If you want to eat well, you must learn to cook for yourself!

At the beginning, he was in a hurry, but after finding the joy of cooking, Lin Ziran was in high spirits every day.

Although it fails most of the time... But as long as the food is placed next to the blind man, he will eat clean before coming back the next day.

Therefore, Lin Ziran became more and more pleasing to the eyes of the blind man, and felt that his decision to save him was correct!

After all, homemade dishes... Well, most dogs don't eat them.

The success of the roast chicken was purely accidental.

But the blind man is never picky about what he eats, he eats what he gives, and never wastes any food...

It's like how delicious the cooking is. It's really a sense of accomplishment and pleasure. Lin Ziran also worked harder and harder, and his cooking skills have really improved slowly...

The happy and leisurely days passed quickly.

Lin Ziran came home from the orchard that day and saw Mu Yang waiting for him at his house.

He immediately turned serious, the teacher came to inspect the homework!

Seeing Lin Ziran coming back, Mu Yang smiled at him, his eyes bright and clear: "You're back."

Lin Ziran nodded, and said a little embarrassedly, "Did I keep you waiting?"

"No, just came here for a while." Mu Yang smiled and shook his head, he paused and then asked: "Have you made any progress in your cultivation?"

Lin Ziran was waiting for Mu Yang to ask! He lowered his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a look of restrained disappointment in his eyes, and he said slowly: "No."

Mu Yang was not surprised to get this answer.

In addition to recovering from his injuries these days, he also consulted a lot of classics, and also asked his father, but there was no result. His father even advised him not to worry about this matter.

But Mu Yang was not reconciled, he looked at Lin Ziran's disappointed and lonely expression, as if he could empathize with his pain and helplessness.

He comes from a humble background and is born with no meridians and unable to cultivate, so everyone can laugh at him and humiliate him...

He must want to cultivate and become stronger than anyone else, but fate is so unfair to him.

Mu Yang really wanted to help Lin Ziran, but he had to admit that he was powerless, so what if he was the Young City Lord?

He can't help it.

At least here is no way...

Chongzhou City is just one of the lower ranked among the ninety-nine cities in the Chiyan Immortal Realm. It is located in a remote area and lacks resources. It has not produced any decent top powerhouses for so many years, and even there are only a handful of people who can enter the Holy Palace. .

If it doesn't work here... can the Holy Palace work?

As the top holy place in the Scarlet Flame Immortal World, the Holy Palace is like a cloud of powerful people. There are the most perfect high-level inheritance, all-encompassing cultivation techniques, and all kinds of strange secret classics... It is the road to the sky that everyone yearns for.

Mu Yang looked dignified and pressed his lips tightly.

Maybe the problem that troubled him here can be solved there?

Seeing Mu Yang's appearance, Lin Ziran knew that he felt sorry for not being able to help him. This kind-hearted little angel is just so nice, but it's not his fault! I was born with such a physique, not to mention that Mu Yang has no choice, even if Xuan Yan came, it would be difficult to change his fate against the sky.

Lin Ziran couldn't bear Mu Yang's sadness, and comforted him: "It doesn't matter."

Mu Yang looked up at him.

Lin Ziran showed him a faint smile, with deep black eyes, and said firmly, "I'm used to it, so it doesn't matter."

Mu Yang clenched his hands tightly, he looked into Lin Ziran's eyes, you are obviously sad and disappointed, but you still want to comfort me that it's okay...

No, I won't take my fate lightly.

Mu Yang let out a sigh of relief, he smiled suddenly, and said, "In half a month, I'm going to participate in the selection of the Holy Palace."

Lin Ziran knew about this. At that time, Mu Yang would not only be selected into the Holy Palace with his amazing talent, but he would also bring Li Ye with him. After they went to the Holy Palace, the big bosses from all sides would appear on the stage, and the real main storyline would soon begin. .

But I shouldn't know this right now.

Lin Ziran seemed to be a little lost, and he was silent for a long time with a tense face, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "You will definitely be selected."

Mu Yang said, "Actually, I don't really want to go."

Lin Ziran looked at him in astonishment, his expression changed slightly, what, Mu Yang didn't want to go to the Holy Palace?

This is impossible! There is no such plot in the plot, and if you don't go to the Holy Palace, how can you start your master-student relationship with Xuan Yan...

Seeing Lin Ziran's surprised look, Mu Yang couldn't help but smile with the corners of his lips raised. This is the first time I have seen such a clear expression on Lin Ziran's face. The young man is taciturn and introverted. No matter what happens, he doesn't seem to cry, laugh or hurt. It turns out that he will be so surprised look...

"Father has high hopes for me, and everyone wants me to go..." Mu Yang twitched the corners of his lips slightly, looked at Lin Ziran, and said in a helpless voice, "But actually... I don't have that kind of ambition .I want to stay here more, where I have everything I am familiar with, my relatives... and friends..."

When Mu Yang mentioned the word friend, he silently looked at Lin Ziran.

If he leaves, then as Mu Yazhu said, no one will be able to protect him.

Lin Ziran listened without saying a word, his expression seemed unusually calm.

【Actually, I wailed like this in my heart: ahhhhhh what went wrong? What did I do wrong again? Why doesn't he want to go to the Holy Palace? This won't work! ! ! 】

【system:……】

No, he has to salvage the plot.

Lin Ziran took a deep breath and said slowly, "I think you should go."

Mu Yang looked at him with burning eyes: "Why? Do you want me to leave?"

What did the child say, you don't have to leave me when you go to the Holy Palace, you can take me with you! But Lin Ziran couldn't say that, he just pursed his lips and his voice was hoarse: "I don't want you to leave, but... I think you should go, your talent should not be buried."

Mu Yang looked directly into Lin Ziran's eyes, and those eyes were so serious.

You never thought of asking me to stay, even though you knew that staying was the best choice for you...

But you still let me go without hesitation.

You hope that I can go higher and farther, instead of just sticking to this remote corner... But, I can't leave you alone.

The thoughts in Mu Yang's mind gradually became firm, he smiled at Lin Ziran, and said softly: "I didn't want to go at first...but now I have changed my mind."

Lin Ziran was taken aback, please finish your sentence straight away, okay, you scared me to death just now, you know!

Mu Yang approached him suddenly, stared into his eyes, his eyes were hot and bright, and said, "You come with me, okay?"

There are the world's unique learning, the supreme inheritance... as long as we go there together, we will definitely find a way!

Lin Ziran's moved eyes were sore, it was a turn of events, it turned out that the plot was here in a circle! That's right, it's like this, Mu Yang will ask Li Ye to go with him, good brothers will go together for a lifetime!

Lin Ziran wanted to agree immediately, but thinking that he still had a mother to take care of, he shook his head silently and said, "I can't go with you, my mother..."

"Ye'er." Mu Yazhu stood not far away.

She didn't know when she came out, and she didn't know where and how long she had been listening.

Lin Ziran: "Mother..."

Mu Yazhu came slowly, she looked at him with gentle eyes, raised her hand to gently brush the child's hair, as if thousands of thoughts were passing through her heart, she finally said: "You and Mu Yang go."

Lin Ziran's expression changed drastically, and his voice was anxious: "But I can't leave you alone..."

Mu Yazhu smiled slightly, her eyes soft and indifferent, and said: "I know Ye'er is worried about mother, but don't worry, mother will be fine, mother can take care of herself... Besides, Mu Yang will make arrangements, right? "

Mu Yang immediately said: "Yes, I will ask someone to take care of Aunt Mu to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Ziran still hesitated: "But I..."

Mu Yazhu lowered her eyes, averted her nostalgic gaze, and said to Lin Ziran: "Mother hopes that you can go, and that you can also see the world outside, instead of being trapped here forever, you shouldn't belong here ...

So, go for it. "

My child, maybe only by leaving here can you find your true belonging...

Lin Ziran struggled in his eyes, as if it was very difficult to make a choice.

It seems that there is a reluctance for this place, a longing for the outside world, and curiosity and anxiety about the strange world...

At this time, Mu Yang gently held his hand, and said word by word: "I will always be with you."

Lin Ziran's eyes were moist, and after a long time, he nodded slowly.

The little angel is really a good brother who has nothing to say, what a touching brotherhood!

Don't worry, you treat me as your brother, and I treat you as my sister. Our love is stronger than gold. When we go to the Holy Palace in the future, we will do our best for you and Xuanyan to get married!

Mu Yang looked at Lin Ziran with a smile, his eyes were firm and persistent, he slowly tightened his hands, and there was a sentence in his heart that he didn't say.

Even if one day, Mu Yazhu is gone, at least I'm still here... I won't let go of your hand.
