Chapter 5, Endless Mountains
Muchen had been claiming to the outside world that he was seriously injured. After arriving in Nanshan City, he lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public.
The outside world speculated that Muchen was seriously injured and dying. The local gangsters did not take Muchen seriously. The Zhenshan Palace, with only an orphan, a widowed mother, and a son seriously injured and dying, had lost its intimidating power.
Late one night, the noisy palace fell into silence earlier than usual. Even the guards and maids in the palace were more free than usual.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, Xiao's mother and Qin Xue were both packing their bags, and Muchen was also making simple preparations on the side.
"Xiaoxue, Chen'er, hurry up. We need to leave Nanshan City under the cover of night."
"Mother, have things been arranged in the palace?"
"Don't worry, during the time we leave, the palace will be closed to all guests. Uncle Fu will be at home, so nothing big will happen."
"Godmother, how are we going to get out? Since we came back, there must have been a lot of people from the imperial capital coming to Nanshan City."
"Don't worry, I have my own way for my mother."
Xiao's mother didn't say anything more. She just led the three of them to a room in the inner courtyard, then knocked on the wall a few times, and a tunnel appeared in front of them.
"This palace was built by your father. During the construction, many secret passages were built, which can lead directly out of Nanshan City. Follow me, let's leave quickly."
The three of them followed the tunnel, walked in black at night, along the secluded path, and quietly left Nanshan City. They rode on their good horses in a remote forest in Nanshan City and left quickly.
The destination of this trip is the immortal ruins. The ruins are located deep in the Endless Mountains. Even if the three of them travel day and night and ride fast horses, it will take 7-8 days to get there.
However, there are ferocious beasts all over the Endless Mountains and there are many dangers. It will not be easy to reach safely.
Fortunately, Xiao's mother is a peak person in the Earth Martial Realm, and her strength is comparable to that of the Tian Martial Realm. And Muchen's sister Qin Xue is also a warrior in the Human Martial Realm, so she has no problem in protecting herself. Muchen himself is
A tow bottle.
The three of them rode a thousand-mile horse and drove from night to the night of the third day. They only rested for one night and had just arrived at the outskirts of the Endless Mountains.
The Endless Mountains is the largest primeval forest in the entire Celestial Empire. No one knows how big this forest is because no one can come back alive from the depths of the mountains.
The depths of the endless mountains, just like the wild land, are the unsolved mysteries of the continent, and no one has ever seen its secrets.
Xiao's mother looked at the sky and said, "Okay, we are about to enter the Endless Mountains. Let's rest on the outside for one night and continue moving forward tomorrow."
Several people quickly dismounted, selected a campsite, and started to light a fire to rest. As the son of a general, Muchen had a good command of these basic marching skills and was able to build a simple shelter very quickly.
Qin Xue, who had just lit the fire, looked at the shelter Muchen had built, showing a hint of dissatisfaction: "Hey, brat, the injury is just right, but you were thinking about something. You didn't just bring a tent, did you?"
Muchen: "Is there any problem? There are only three of us. Why bring so many tents? It's not a waste of energy."
"You... brat, do you still want to share a tent with me?"
"Sister Xue, what's the point? Didn't we all sleep in the same bed when we were children? Now is an extraordinary period, so it doesn't matter if we squeeze in." Muchen smiled evilly.
Qin Xue and Muchen grew up together. Qin Xue was only three years older than Muchen. They had a very good relationship when they were young. They both slept in the same bed and grew up. However, Qin Xue gradually grew up and became a different person.
They were both graceful and graceful, and they separated for the sake of Qin Xue's reputation.
Of course, Muchen's parents are also very willing to see the relationship between the two continue to develop.
Back then, Qin Xue's father unfortunately passed away when Qin Xue was young in order to save Zhenshan King. Before his death, Qin Xue entrusted Qin Xue to Muchen's parents.
According to Muchen's parents' ideas, when the time was right, they could get married and settle their worries. However, something unexpected happened later and they kept delaying the marriage.
In the past, Muchen was a pure martial arts fanatic, with a somewhat aloof personality, and was very ignorant about the affairs of his children.
Therefore, even though there is a beautiful woman like Qin Xue in the house, she is not aware of it at all. She often treats Qin Xue as a brother, so the relationship between the two of them is naturally very good.
Ever since Muchen was seriously injured, it was completely different. Muchen was really bored lying in bed. Whenever he had time, he would call Qin Xue over to talk about love. It was inevitable to take advantage of his identity as an injured person and take advantage of him. He would often
Qin Xue looked a little uncomfortable with his silly smile.
Qin Xue moved her delicate nose and hummed: "Humph, you stinky boy, you seem to have become a different person since you recovered from the serious injury. You even dared to peek at me taking a shower a few days ago. I don't trust you."
Pervert."
Seeing the two people arguing, Xiao's mother felt warm and warm, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, this is an extraordinary period, don't worry so much, at worst, my godmother will sleep in the middle, and you and Chen'er will sleep next to me."
As a mother, she naturally wants to help her son, and Mother Xiao is also very pleased with Muchen's change. In the past, Muchen was a real martial arts fanatic who was obsessed with practicing martial arts. He spent more time in the military camp than in the palace.
He is long and somewhat arbitrary in his work.
But now Muchen is more humane and treats himself and Qin Xue like real family members, which makes Xiao's mother very happy.
"Haha, mother is still insightful. Unlike someone else, who is not straightforward at all, coy and petty. There is something about you that I haven't seen yet... hum."
"You!... Bastard, I am a girl. If this spreads out, how can I get married?"
Muchen walked up, patted Qin Xue on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's not easy. Sister Xue, you can marry me. I'm very happy!"
Hearing this, a blush appeared on Qin Xue's fair face, and she said angrily: "What did you say..." After saying that, she raised her fist and prepared to teach Muchen a lesson. Muchen also turned around and ran away.
.
"I am a wounded person...come here, someone is abusing the wounded, mother...help!"
Amidst the laughter and scolding, Xiao's mother felt the long-lost warmth. As long as she could protect this warmth, Xiao Wanqing was willing to do anything.
At night, Muchen looked at his mother and Qin Xue sleeping beside him and felt very satisfied. This was the warmth that he could not get in his previous life. At the same time, he secretly vowed to protect this hard-won family relationship.
The consciousness entered the chaotic space and contributed all the gold coins collected in the past few days. Ruomu naturally had another full meal.
Muchen was about to enter the Endless Mountains. In order to increase his ability to protect himself, Muchen fed the sacred tree to fullness, and then asked Ruomu to help open up 4 pieces of land at once.
The mist in the chaotic space is actually the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth - chaotic spiritual energy, which is the most primitive state of all living things in the world. Everything in the world gradually evolves from the energy of chaos.
Originally, a divine object of this level could not be touched by ordinary people, let alone change it. Only the divine tree and other heaven-defying divine residences could carve out land in the chaotic space and establish their own territory.
With the formation of the land, space and Muchen are still perfectly connected. The chaotic aura passes through Muchen's Dantian and is absorbed by Muchen's body and soul. Although it is only a small wisp of chaotic aura, it is enough for Muchen to benefit endlessly.
In this world, no one has the luxury of using chaotic spiritual energy to forge their bodies. This is simply a waste of resources.
After absorbing a ray of chaotic aura, Muchen's body was filled with endless power: "Even if I can't practice, as long as the chaotic aura is enough, my physical strength will definitely reach the human martial realm, or even higher... In the worst case, I will become a
Those who practice martial arts can still rule the world!" At this time, Muchen was full of hope for the future.
Early the next morning.
Mother Xiao woke up the two people who were still sleeping: "Xiaoxue, Chen'er, put on your inner armor. From today on, we will enter the Endless Mountains. It is full of dangers. You must be careful, Xiaoxue, pay attention to protect Chen'er.
"
Qin Xue nodded, and Muchen leaned next to Qin Xue knowingly.
Qin Xue smiled and said: "Hehe, great genius, it must feel uncomfortable to be protected by others. You were very proud before." Muchen used to be so strong, how could he hide behind a woman?
Muchen immediately shook his head and said with a playful smile: "How come, being protected by a beautiful woman is a kind of enjoyment. I like being protected by Sister Xue the most."
"Huh, you're glib." Qin Xue hurriedly left with a slightly red face.
