Mo Chen had many guesses about the identity of this woman in his heart.
He can be sure that he has never seen her before. If she has such a unique temperament, if he has seen her, it will be difficult to forget.
But the look between her eyebrows did give him a sense of familiarity.
Xiaodong walked with one foot high and the other low, as if walking in a pile of cotton.
If it wasn't for the elder brother holding him with a hand, he might not even be able to tell the direction.
The people in front stopped, Xiaodong raised his head in a daze, suddenly there was a feeling that reality was indistinguishable from illusion.
In front is a white stone pavilion, and the three complicated ancient characters on it are the Shouyuan Pavilion that the elder brother said.
"You wait here for a while, I'll find someone to take you out of the city." She turned her head and faced the two of them, but she didn't seem to see the two of them in her eyes, as if she was missing them through them. other people.
"Excuse me..." Mo Chen took a deep breath: "Are you Mrs. Yan?"
She nodded slightly: "That's right. Is there anything else you want to ask? Ask now."
Mo Chen already had a guess in his mind, but it was not so easy to ask this question.
Xiaodong took a step forward: "You... are you my mother?"
This sentence was also Mo Chen's guess, but he didn't expect Xiaodong to ask it directly.
He glanced back.
How much Xiaodong knows about his real life experience, Mo Chen only knows a rough idea.
But he asked such a sentence now, is it just a guess? Is it because of the appearance of this woman? still…
What kind of blood nature is there
Mo Chen was a child adopted by his master since he was a child, and he didn't know his true life experience not long ago. But when he saw Wu Yunshen, his heart was not touched. The similarity in appearance meant nothing to him, and there was no father-son relationship between the two. After saying goodbye to Jianjian Valley, Mo Chen got news from Tianji Mountain that he was alive and took the rest of his disciples to other places, so he didn't ask any more.
Wu Yunshen didn't send him a single word either.
The other party didn't regard him as his own son, nor did he feel that he was his biological father.
From Wu Yunshen's point of view, his son had already died more than 20 years ago, and Mo Chen who is alive now cannot be recognized by him.
For Mo Chen, if he regards himself as Wu Yunshen's son, he can't explain the mutation in himself. But if it is said that the two have nothing to do with each other, the similarity in appearance is hard to say.
The woman's expression finally changed, she looked at Xiaodong seriously, from head to toe.
But she said, "No."
It's not the mother, it may be the aunt, aunt or the like, and the appearance may also be similar.
But Mo Chen felt that she was not telling the truth.
Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions.
The expression on his face was full of confusion and hope, but none of this was negated by two words. Mo Chen watched the light of hope dimming little by little.
"Is it... so it's not."
His expression didn't look like disappointment, but more like a kind of disheartened, a kind of embarrassment.
Because she denied it.
Whether she is or not, she has already denied the relationship between herself and Xiaodong.
Xiaodong could find a bunch of reasons for her denial. She must have hidden secrets, and her identity is so prominent, she is the wife of the Lord of Tianjian City...
Then how did Chen Jingzhi become the young master of Tianjian City
Xiaodong asked the question unknowingly.
"He thought he could pretend to be a fake with the token." Madam Yan said indifferently: "A fake is a fake. He also knows that it is impossible to cheat forever, so he wants to get more magic weapons and exercises, and then withdraw. There are many people in the city. Everyone guessed that he was a fake, because everyone had their own selfish desires, so no one exposed him."
Apparently Mrs. Yan did not expose Chen Jingzhi either.
She is the wife of the city lord, so Chen Jingzhi, the so-called young lord, is her son in name.
credible thing...
Mo Chen and Xiaodong glanced at each other.
"Is that token a pendant?" Xiaodong asked softly.
Madam Yan nodded slightly.
The token obviously belonged to Xiaodong, but Chen Jingzhi took the opportunity to steal it.
So what is Xiaodong's relationship with Mrs. Yan and Tianjiancheng
"Then... who are my biological parents, do you know?"
Madam Yan still had a cold look: "They are all dead."
Without waiting for Xiaodong to ask any more questions, she said, "You have nothing to do with Tianjian City. Leave here, go as far away as possible, and never come back again."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Mo Chen, even Xiaodong could hear how strange these words were.
Her first sentence was a lie that could no longer be false.
How could Xiaodong have nothing to do with Tianjiancheng? Regardless of whether Mrs. Yan is his mother or not, since she can see the city and recognize her as the young lord with the token, and the life and death of the previous city lord of Tianjian city is unknown, then Xiaodong will be the next city lord of Tianjian city.
It's okay? So what does it mean to be related
This sentence is too firm, but it can't win people's trust.
And her closing sentence is too sincere.
It could be heard how desperately she wanted Xiaodong to leave Tianjian City. People often don't have strong emotions towards strangers. It doesn't matter if he leaves or stays with an unknown person who has nothing to do with him? And Mrs. Yan was anxious to let him go, there must be a very important reason.
This reason must also have something to do with her acquiescing to his identity even though she knew Chen Jingzhi was a liar.
But before they could ask any further, a man in gray clothes came over, his face was old and his expression was blank. Judging from the expression and temperament alone, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan are shining all the way.
"This is Mr. Wan, follow him and you will be able to leave the city." After Madam Yan confessed, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Mo Chen said: "Madam, please stop. My junior brother and I came to Tianjian City because we couldn't help ourselves. Even if Madam sends us away now, won't we be brought back?"
"No, there won't be a next time." Madam Yan nodded, as if to increase the credibility of her words: "Let's go."
That Mr. Wan came over and made a "please" gesture to the two of them.
Although Tianjian City is so closed, since Madam Yan is the wife of the city lord, there must be a way to send them out, Mo Chen has no doubts about this.
But they just left
Anyone who is not a fool can see that Mrs. Yan is anxious to let Xiaodong leave.
There are too many questions, let's go now, Mo Chen has a feeling, they will regret it in the future.
That Mr. Wan seemed to see through his thoughts, Mo Chen didn't see his lips opening and closing, but there was a voice ringing in his ears.
"Do you want to kill your junior brother? If he stays here, he will definitely die. None of the city lords of Tianjian City has ever lived for a long time. You must know this."
Mo Chen's heart trembled.
That's right, although Tianjian City has always been closed, the affairs in the city are kept secret from outsiders. But over time, there are always some signs that people will see.
Just like the one I'm talking about now.
The elders of Tianjian City live for a long time. Although they cannot ascend to Taoism, they can stay in the world for a much longer time than ordinary people who practice Taoism. Even ordinary people here live longer than ordinary people in other places. This is certainly due to the abundant aura of Tianjiancheng, but there must be other reasons.
But on the contrary, judging from the words of some ancestors who practiced Taoism a long time ago, and the letters left behind, no one has ever seen which generation of Tianjian City Lords are old people. In the prime of life, but never old.
why
... You can understand it after careful deduction.
They don't have time to grow old.
These successive city lords all passed away early.
Isn't that weird? Others in the city can live a long time and die, but the lord of the city always dies young. This strange thing makes people unable to bear the fear.
Mrs. Yan must know the sixth secret, and even the Mr. Wan in front of her must know it too.
It is not difficult to guess that if Xiaodong stays, he will most likely replace Chen Jingzhi as the young master of Tianjian City, and then the successor city master.
But after succeeding, another bizarre and rapid death may follow.
Mr. Wan approached another step indistinctly: "There is one more thing, will the matter of you coming to Tianjian City make Master and others very anxious? I am afraid that Master Li is anxiously looking for your whereabouts at this moment. .You delay for a while, I'm afraid he will take the risk, if there is any chance, you will regret it later, and you will regret not coming."
Mo Chen looked at him with extremely sharp eyes in an instant.
Mr. Wan could feel the killing intent just released from this young man.
This killing intent is like a substance, and the face is cut like a knife.
If it weren't for his fortitude far surpassing ordinary people, I'm afraid he couldn't help but back away just now.
Mr. Wan's voice returned to normal, Mo Chen and Xiaodong could hear what he said.
"If you pretend to be people from Tianjian City and sneak in, no one will notice for a while, but it won't last for a few days. Once you are discovered, you will never be able to control what happens after that. While you can still leave the city now, I'll take you out now. Come, this way."
Mo Chen took Xiaodong with him and followed behind him.
"Where do we go from?"
"If you want to open the formation and go out, you will definitely alarm others, so there is a way that will not alarm others."
There is also a way to enter and exit without disturbing the formation
This must be the great secret of Tianjian City. Once it is known to outsiders, Tianjian City's superior and transcendent status will inevitably be lost. The place called Fengshui Treasure Land and Wonderland on Earth is our own.
And Mrs. Yan, and this Mr. Wan, actually planned to let them leave like this, and told them the biggest secret of Tianjian City without concealing it.
So Mrs. Yan still said that she has nothing to do with Xiaodong? This cannot be trusted at all.
"Mr. Wan, I have something to ask."
Mr. Wan, who was walking in front, walked lightly and silently, and there was an independent indifference in his gestures: "You can ask, but I don't necessarily say."
This is really blunt.
Mo Chen asked: "How did the former city lord die?" (To be continued)
