Chapter 640 Night Talk

"Remember? This is the place." Meng Liang stood in front of the thatched cottage and looked at Xu Han, who was talking to Nineteen, who was sitting on the giant ape's body. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't want to go forward because of his face.

"En, don't worry, 19 will remember." Little Nineteen nodded heavily and said with a serious expression.

"When you're done, go to the Chen Kingdom and meet Ziyu and the others." Xu Han smiled and touched Xiao Nineteen's head.

"What about Uncle Xu? It's very dangerous to be alone here." Little Nineteen asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, isn't Senior Brother Meng still here?" Xu Han comforted.

"You mean Uncle Meng?" Nineteen swept his gaze and landed on Meng Liang, who was not far away.

Meng Liang, who could feel the other party's gaze, subconsciously straightened his waist, wanting to make his appearance look convincing enough.

"However, Uncle Meng looks so weak that he can't help Uncle Xu." However, Little Nineteen inherited the usual carelessness and nonchalance of words, and said with great distress at that time.

Meng Liang staggered and almost fell to the ground. Xu Han laughed. He shook his head and said, "I know my limits. You go there to help me find that person first, and then bring them to the Chen Kingdom to wait for me. When this matter comes, I will naturally come find you."

Nineteen also knew that this matter was of great importance, so she did not hesitate any longer. She nodded and said, "Yes."

Thus, the giant ape let out a long roar and placed Nineteen and Zhou Yuan on its back. After a pause, it suddenly jumped high and ran towards Great Zhou.

…

"Where do you want them to go?" After the giant ape left, Meng Liang hurriedly approached Xu Han and asked curiously.

This was not Meng Liang's fault. Ever since they arrived at the Sword Mausoleum in the morning, Xu Han had been brought into the depths of the Sword Mausoleum by Wang Yangming. The two of them stayed in the Sword Mausoleum for an entire day before returning. After that, Xu Han called Zhou Yuan and Nineteen over and told them something before letting them leave. The entire process was somewhat mysterious, which made Meng Liang curious.

"Let's go to the Chen Kingdom and meet Ziyu and the others. A great battle is about to arrive. Staying behind won't do them any good." Xu Han smiled, as if he wasn't willing to reveal his secret to Meng Liang.

However, Meng Liang did not restrain himself as soon as he saw fit. He hurriedly pulled Xu Han, who wanted to go to the side to help Qin Keqing prepare dinner, and said with a licking smile, "Junior Brother treats Senior Brother like an outsider. I just heard that you want Nineteen to find someone, right? Who is it?"

"Senior Brother, do you mean that we are not outsiders?" Xu Han asked with a strange expression.

"Junior Brother, what are you saying? You and my fellow disciples are naturally not outsiders." Meng Liang did not suspect him and firmly said at that time.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xu Han's face. "Since he is not an outsider, then why did Senior Brother hide what happened in the Chen Kingdom from me?"

"Huh?" Meng Liang's expression instantly changed. The smile on his face also subsided at that moment. He released the hand holding Xu Han's sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Didn't the old man tell you?"

When he arrived at the Sword Mausoleum, Meng Liang had met Wang Yangming and told him about what had happened in the Chen Kingdom. However, Wang Yangming did not seem to be interested in it. He only asked Meng Liang to deal with the barbarians outside the Sword Mausoleum before doing anything else.

Therefore, when Xu Han mentioned this matter, Meng Liang naturally realized that it was the old man who told Xu Han about it.

"Senior Brother, why are you hiding it from me?" Xu Han looked at Meng Liang and asked in puzzlement.

Meng Liang's temperament was carefree. Since Xu Han knew about this matter, he naturally wouldn't try to conceal it anymore. He bitterly smiled and said, "This is a family matter of my country, Chen. What's the use of telling others about it?"

After saying this, he paused for a moment and said, "Besides, Junior Brother and Ziyu have always been close. If I told Junior Brother about this, Ziyu probably wouldn't be able to hide it. I don't want her to have a gap with Xuanji because of this."

Xu Han had thought of many reasons why Meng Liang had concealed this matter from him, but he had never thought that Meng Liang had done so. Xu Han couldn't help but frown, "Senior Brother, could it be that you've let go of this father-killing feud? You still want to match Ziyu with Chen Xuanji? Isn't this putting her in deep trouble?"

Meng Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said helplessly, "Xuanji … is also a pitiful person. The grudges are too complicated. Junior Brother, don't ask any further."

After Meng Liang finished speaking, he didn't give Xu Han any chance to speak. He turned around and walked out of the Sword Mausoleum. Obviously, he wasn't willing to entangle himself with Xu Han on this issue.

Xu Han was slightly stunned when he saw Meng Liang's departing figure, but in the end, he did not stop Meng Liang from leaving.

…

After dinner, the only thatched cottage in the Mausoleum of the Swords was given to Qin Keqing. Wang Yangming sat cross-legged in the depths of the Mausoleum of the Swords, seemingly preparing for the upcoming great battle.

Meng Liang did not seem to be in a good mood after his previous conversation with Xu Han. After walking around the Mausoleum of the Sword, he returned silently. After dinner, he sat alone in front of a stone cliff in a hill outside the Mausoleum of the Sword. He looked at the few stars in the sky and was dazed.

He thought about what had happened in the past few days. It was no longer something that could be clearly stated in two words.

Meng Liang did not want to think about these things, because once he thought of these things, it would be difficult for him to breathe as if he was weighing down on Qian Jun. Thinking of this, Meng Liang sighed.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out, along with the jug of wine in his hand.

Meng Liang was stunned. He turned his head and saw Xu Han holding a pot of wine in one hand and looking at him with a smile on his face.

Meng Liang also smiled faintly at that time. He reached out and took the wine jug, unsealed it, and slightly touched Xu Han. Then, he raised his head and gulped down a mouthful.

By the time he put down the wine jug and wiped off the wine that flowed out of his mouth, Xu Han had already sat down beside him.

"Where did you get the wine?" Meng Liang asked curiously.

The Southern Wilderness was barren, The source of food in the Mausoleum of the Sword was mostly the fruit trees planted on the west side of the Mausoleum of the Sword and the tributes paid by the barbarians every year, Although there weren't many people in the Sword Mausoleum, there weren't many of them. In addition to the occasional prey he hunted, it was almost enough to satisfy the consumption of the Sword Mausoleum itself. However, the wine that needed food was obviously too luxurious. According to Meng Liang's knowledge, there wasn't such a thing in the Sword Mausoleum, so the two jars of wine Xu Han brought were indeed beyond Meng Liang's expectations.

Xu Han also raised his head and drank a mouthful of sake. He smiled and said, "When I was traveling with Master, he once told me that he secretly brewed some wine from the grain of the Sword Mausoleum. However, he was afraid that the two Martial Uncles would discover him and secretly bury the wine in one of the Sword Mausoleum. We went to look for it. When we found it, we brought it to drink with Senior Brother."

Meng Liang was stunned when he heard this. He was both surprised that Canghai Liu had done such a ridiculous thing, and even more surprised by Xu Han's sudden change of address to Canghai Liu.

However, he did not ask any further. He only nodded and then fell silent again.

"Uncle Wang told me a lot of things." Xu Han glanced at Meng Liang, as if he didn't feel that the other party wasn't in a good mood at the moment, so he said again.

"About the Sword Spirit of the Vast Ocean Stream, about Kunlun, the Fierce Sword, and the Half Demon from the Primeval Era."

"He told me about Vastsea Current's obsession. I thought about it. Although he plotted against me, he felt so guilty about it that even the Sword Spirit couldn't forget about it. In the end, he sacrificed himself to save me. "Actually, his kindness to me is greater than his fault. Besides, if it weren't for him, Martial Uncle Mo wouldn't have ruined the Fate Palace just for the sake of good. In the end…"

"That's why I have to thank him for his kindness. It's only natural for me to call him Master."

Hearing Xu Han's words, Meng Liang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Han. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"But Qing was pushed to the throne by Mr. Lu and the others. She was born a half-demon, and because of the dragon qi, she became a true divine seed. "When I rescued her from Chang'an, she was unconscious because of her weakness. At that time, I probed her body and felt that there was some sort of powerful power in her body. It seemed that she was ready to devour her at any time."

"I also have this power. There is such a thing hidden deep within my body. He is a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times stronger than the power in Ke Qing's body. I am not sure if I have these connections with this Half Demon God Seed, but it is extremely important for me to understand my own background. "Of course, in order to prevent Dark Asura Palace from finding the divine seed, I asked Nineteen to go to Niutou Village in the Azure Province to help me find someone."

Meng Liang was stunned when he heard this. After all, this was the first time he had heard of such a saying. However, he quickly regained his senses and said, "You mean to find that little monk?"

"Well, the girl next to Guang Lingui is also a half-demon nourished by the Demon Lord's blood essence, Including her, there are no more than three God Seeds in the world. I was worried that they would become the target of the Dark Asura Palace's pursuit, and I also wanted to figure out what was inside my body. That's why I asked Nineteen to pick them up. "

Meng Liang was somewhat surprised. He had only vaguely heard Fang Ziyu and the others talk about the situation of Half Demon and Xu Han. However, Fang Ziyu and the others were unable to explain the specifics, so how could he be clear about it?

However, he suppressed the strange feeling that had suddenly arisen in his heart when he heard this. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Do you know where they are?"

"Yes." Xu Han nodded. "I still have some connections. I received a letter from them some time ago saying that Liu Dingdang's body is better. Guang Lingui took her to Niutou Village to live in seclusion. However, with the current situation in Great Zhou, I estimate that such thoughts can only be wishful thinking."

"So it's for this matter." Meng Liang nodded. He finally understood what Xu Han meant by letting the nineteenth generation leave today. However, he quickly regained his senses and looked at Xu Han with a strange expression. "Why did you say this to me?" He asked.

Meng Liang was very clear that everyone had their own secrets. Some secrets could not be told, while others did not need to be said. What Xu Han said clearly belonged to the former. At this moment, he suddenly revealed everything to himself, which was somewhat strange.

Xu Han laughed. He blinked his eyes and said, "Because Senior Brother said that we are our own people."

At this moment, Meng Liang was stunned again. He immediately reacted and said, "You can't be saying this so that I can tell you about Chen Country, right?"

Xu Han did not answer Meng Liang's question immediately. He raised the wine jug in his hand and respected Meng Liang. After taking a sip, he said, "It depends on Senior Brother treating Junior Brother as one of his own."

This move to retreat was probably a poke at Meng Liang's pain point. He bitterly smiled and drank a mouthful of sake, saying, "Do you really want to know about Chen Country so much?"

"Logically speaking, this is Senior Brother's family business. As a junior brother, you really shouldn't interfere." Hearing this, Xu Han's expression suddenly turned serious. "But at this moment, there are some things that shouldn't be interfered with. Junior Brother can only dare to ask."

"What do you want to know?" Seemingly infected by Xu Han's appearance, Meng Liang's eyes sank.

Xu Han's eyes were like torches as he stared fixedly at Meng Liang. At that moment, he asked word by word, "Senior Brother's father, how did Qin King Munch die?"

Meng Liang's gaze dodged at that time. He pretended to calmly lift the wine jug and said, "Didn't the old man tell you everything? He died of illness."

How could Xu Han be deceived by Meng Liang's clumsy words? He raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior Brother, are you still unwilling to say anything?"

When he said this, Meng Liang's body suddenly trembled. He put the wine jug in his hand to his lips, raised his head and gulped down a large mouthful of wine. Just like that, a full jug of wine was drunk by him in a few breaths.

Then, he threw the wine jug fiercely into the wasteland beneath him. With this force, the wine jug fell into the wasteland and instantly shattered.

Meng Liang rubbed his hair hard and said loudly, "What can I do? What can I do!"

"One is my younger brother, the other is my father! My younger brother killed my father, and then my father left me a fucking suicide note!"

"He told me not to take revenge! He told me to help my father's enemies! He said that only then would he feel at ease under the underworld!!"

"Right now, I still have to defend the Sword Mausoleum for the sake of Chen Country. God knows if I can return alive, if I can take revenge, and if I can grab Chen Xuanji's neck and ask him why he did such a thing!"

As Meng Liang spoke, his emotions gradually got out of control. At this moment, some of the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart these past few days finally couldn't be wrapped up and surged out.

Xu Han looked at Meng Liang at this moment. His face was a little wet, but Xu Han could not tell whether those things were the wine stains left behind when he drank wine or tears.

He only silently reached out and patted Meng Liang on the shoulder. He did not say anything to comfort Meng Liang at the first moment.

Just as Meng Liang had said, this was after all a family matter of the Chen Kingdom. If Meng Liang wanted revenge, he would naturally do his best to help. However, due to his father's suicide note, Meng Liang was unable to make a decision. As a bystander, he did not know what was inside, so he naturally could not give any suggestions.

However, after arriving in the Southern Wilderness, Xu Han could tell that Meng Liang was in a strange state, and he could even vaguely feel the desire for death that he had said had sprouted. Xu Han never thought that this would be a good thing. He felt that it would be very difficult for a person with a will to die to survive the upcoming war in the Southern Wilderness.

That was why he forced Meng Liang to reveal his thoughts after hearing about this matter, so that he could more or less make Meng Liang, who had been accumulating for a long time, feel better.

After another hundred breaths of time, Meng Liang's condition gradually eased up, and his trembling gradually calmed down. Seeing this, Xu Han said again, "Senior Brother, do you know? I was just a little beggar who was in a precarious situation in Shangyun City, Azure Province, and could starve to death at any time."

"I went from a beggar to a Dark Asura Palace killer, to an elder of the Exquisite Pavilion, to the head of the Tian Ce Mansion , to the head of the Sword Pavilion. Everything I did was to keep me alive. Of course, this was not something worth boasting about. After all, everyone was like this. "But I have experienced many desperate things, such as the betrayal of the Tian Ce Mansion . For example, the inexplicable Fiendgods in my body. Their existence is like a nightmare to me."

"I don't dare to say that my situation is more difficult than Senior Brother's, but no matter what, Junior Brother has never thought of dying."

"I want to live. No matter what, I want to live."

"Because only in this way can I be with the person I like, and I can see the scenery I want to see and do what I want to do."

"So there's nothing more important than living. As long as you're alive, you'll have the chance to find the answer you want. No matter what the answer is, I think Senior Brother should take a look, right?"

Hearing this, Meng Liang's body trembled. With his temperament, he naturally understood what Xu Han meant. He also guessed that Xu Han's actions today were actually to help him get rid of the will to die that arose from wanting to escape from the current situation.

He looked at Xu Han gratefully and remained silent for a while before saying sincerely, "Thank you."

Xu Han saw that he knew that Meng Liang's knot should have been untied by now. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother, you don't need to thank me. In the end, I'm doing this for myself. Only with the concerted efforts of our senior brothers can we obtain a sliver of hope in that great battle."

"Of course, in return, if Senior Brother really wants to do something at that time, Junior Brother will definitely do his best to help!"

Meng Liang naturally knew that Xu Han's words were only meant to save him some face. He also exposed them and smiled, "Alright! Help me tie Chen Xuanji up when the time comes. Let's strip off his clothes and let him wander the streets of Jinling City for three days before asking him the truth."

"Yes." Xu Han pondered for a moment and then said, "This plan is very good. At that time, we will follow Senior Brother's instructions."

"Alright!" Meng Liang was in a good mood. At that time, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, they threw away all these troubles and laughed heartily.

…

"By the way, do you know what Martial Uncle said to me in the end today?"

"What did you say?"

"He told me to leave the Mausoleum of the Swords with Senior Brother and the Fierce Sword."

"In that case, Old Master doesn't seem to be confident. Did you agree?"

"No."

"Then what did you say?"

"I said that my senior apprentice-brother Meng Liang is an expert disciple of Mount Li, and he has obtained Mo Chen's direct inheritance. He is known as the number one genius in the world in the sword dao. His cultivation is so profound that no one in the world can defeat him. When those thieves arrive, my senior apprentice-brother will only need one sword strike to kill a lion for a million. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Haha! Well said!"

…

"But that's what you said."

"Yes, that's pretty much what I meant."

"What's the difference?"

"Probably … change the Senior Brother in the words to me …"

"F*ck!!!"
