C101 Murong Dawn (1/2)
101. Murong Dawn
He couldn't enjoy peace and quiet, but he liked to travel through the six realms the most. This was a completely different person from him, and with his weak strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand any kind of dangerous attacks. Of course, what he was most proficient at was escaping from danger safely.
According to Yun Jiu Tang's instructions before he left, he and Gu Xue Luo had to stay safely in Yi Residence until Yun Jiu Tang returned, just in case something happened. For the past few days, Murong Dawn had been walking around every corner of Yi An's house. He was like a skylark in a cage, as if he had been imprisoned for over a hundred years.
”Old Dugu,” Murong Ming began to yell again, ”when are you going to let me out?” In the Qing Qiu mountain, Dugu Jiuyi was a highly respected person. The reason why Murong Ming called him this was because when Dugu Jiuyi first arrived at the Qing Qiu mountain, he was already the City Lord of Wings City. In terms of qualifications, he was far above Dugu Jiuyi.
Dugu Jiuyi and Gu Xueluo were sitting leisurely in the pavilion in the yard, chatting happily. Murong Dawn's shouting voice floated in, and Dugu Jiuyi calmly said, ”Mayor Murong, the gate to Yi An's residence is wide open. If you want to enter, you can!” Saying that, she smiled and stroked her beard as she looked at him.
With a sullen expression, the moustache man ran into the pavilion in a huff, ”You know what I'm saying, but why would I need to ask you if I could get out?” He drank all the tea on the sandalwood table in one gulp, ”It's a good tea, give me another cup,” he placed the cup on the table, ”Ah, I am very curious, why does Young Master Yun always worry about the dangers outside, why is your place so safe? Could it be that the demons and ghosts of the other five realms are afraid of you as well? After he finished speaking, he sat down on a chair, wanting to listen to Dugu Jiuyi's explanation.
Dugu Jiuyi laughed loudly, ”Mayor Murong, don't make fun of me. I, Yi An, live alone with nothing, and I, Dugu Jiuyi, am an idle person. Why do those monsters and monsters come here? It is the safest thing for humans to have no desires.”
”You're completely wrong, Old Man Dugu.” Murong Yu picked up the teacup again and actually savored it. ”Then tell me, what desire do I have? Isn't a harmless person like me still in danger? Did I come here to seek shelter?” He picked up the teapot on the table and started drinking by himself. ”I say, those demons and ghosts have no reason to kill you.”
”That's right, City Lord Murong is right,” a man who was making tea said, ”In the Six Realms, no matter when and when fortune and misfortune come and go, nobody can stop them.”
This was the first time she had seen such a thing since the last expedition to the Great Sea. It seemed that the Supreme Mystery had helped to eliminate the harassment of the demons from the Demon World, causing her to feel much more at ease now. ”Flower, it's been a while since the Demon World has come to harass us again, right?”
”En, there won't be any more,” Flower walked forward, clasped her hands, and expressed her gratitude. ”I still have to thank everyone for their help back then …”
Gu Xueluo hastily stood up and walked over to Hua Hua to help her up. ”You're too polite. This kind of work is nothing compared to the fact that we always come to bother Mr. Dugu.”
Hua Hua's words just now had Murong Ming sunk into deep thought. That's right, the fortune of the Six Realms is unpredictable, who wouldn't be a prophet? It was just like that rare calamity back then — — Jade Wall exterminated. As he sank into that terrifying memory, Murong Ming's expression turned solemn. There wasn't that playful expression from before at all. Fear and unspeakable worry were deeply hidden within his eyes.
Dugu Jiu looked at all of this carefully, ”Mayor Murong, why is it suddenly so quiet? What are you thinking about?” Although Dugu Jiuyi had only interacted with Mu Rong Kongming two times, he felt more and more that this person was an open-minded and interested person. The fact that he was able to safely escape danger after danger and was not greedy for his Murong Family's wealth was sufficient to focus his interest on things like adventures and strange novels. This meant that this person's mind was kind and simple, which was hard to come by in these complicated and deceitful six realms.
Murong Ming came back to his senses, his eyes filled with sadness. ”Ai, it's fine if you don't want to talk about it!” Then he looked at Dugu Jiuyi seriously, ”Old Dugu, if you put it this way, then that jade wall from twenty years ago … Is it also a natural disaster with unpredictable consequences? ” His voice was a little hoarse, completely lacking the high-pitched tone from before, as if he had just come out of a long period of pain and had not completely recovered.
Dugu Jiuyi straightened his body, ”Mayor, why did you suddenly recall this matter? Many years have passed, if you were to mention it again, you would only be able to recall painful memories.” Dugu Jiuyi was also the person who personally experienced the natural disaster, so he was unwilling to bring up the sad and tear-filled story of the human world. ”Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu …
”I'm thinking …” Murong Ming's expression was still cold as he said, ”Is annihilation of the jade wall really a natural disaster?” Or perhaps it was a disaster in the first place! ” The moment the words left his mouth, even he himself felt his heart tremble.
Both Dugu Jiuyi and Gu Xueluo were astonished. Dugu Jiuyi said in surprise, ”Mayor, you can't speak nonsense about this. Everyone witnessed the natural disaster back in Jade Wall City …”
”I saw it with my own eyes,” Murong Yu muttered to himself as he changed the topic. ”It's just that the Jade Wall destroyed the natural disaster back then and pitied my brother. The Jade Wall City that he painstakingly managed was destroyed just like that.” Murong Yu clearly remembered that Jade Wall City had flourished under his brother's management, gradually becoming the Qingqiu Mountains' luggage distribution center and providing a large amount of financial resources for Taixuan and twelve pots. Jade Wall City was his brother's hard work and effort. However, the ”Heavenly Calamity” had destroyed the flourishing Jade Wall City, as well as the strange plague that had been left behind by the ”Heavenly Calamity”, which had caused more than half of the city's citizens to die in one night. At that time, everyone thought that Jade Wall City would no longer exist.
”It's just that Mu Rong Kong Ming is not an ordinary person.” Dugu Jiuyi poured another cup of tea for Murong Li and continued, ”In less than two years, he led the survivors of the Jade Wall to build a new Jade Wall City on the ruins.”
Murong Dawn's eyes were somewhat moist. That's right, just how much perseverance had his brother used to prop himself up against the survivors. At that time, every member of the clan had opposed his brother's actions. Everyone thought that he had gone mad and that the grand Jade Wall City had been completely destroyed. Wanting to build a new city was no different from wishful thinking. However, at that time, his older brother did not listen to him and no one could persuade him, until two years later, a brand-new Jade Wall City miraculously appeared in front of everyone once again. Everyone was dumbstruck, unable to believe that a mere mortal could create such a miracle with just his hands.
Unknowingly, noon had arrived. Murong Dawn had also recovered from his inexplicable sadness and returned to his old days of laughing and cursing. He was on the verge of walking out of Yi Residence.
”Mayor, if you really want to find Young Master Yun, I have a method,” Dugu Jiu Yi said, ”Go to the Rainbow Peak and obtain the Three Legged Crow, then you will be able to reach the Demon World. Otherwise, with your cultivation level, you won't be able to reach there.”
Murong Yu's eyes lit up, he was extremely happy. ”Really? You're not lying to me, right?”
Dugu Jiu smiled slightly and said, ”What is there to deceive? There are records of this in the 'Ancient Heavenly Spirit Book', don't you know?”
Dugu Jiuyi's words reminded Murong Ming of something. He recalled the details of the Three-Legged Golden Crow from the 'Ancient Book of Mysteries' and realised that it was the description of the 'Three-Legged Golden Crow that mortals can use to enter the demonic world'.
