Chapter 44 Changes
On the right side of Xiaodang Mountain, there is a cliff about a hundred feet high. The two of them have tall figures standing on the cliff. There is a tombstone about half a person in front of them. There are several vigorous characters engraved on the tombstone. There is a vague sense of dominance on the tombstone. Obviously, the person who engraves has extraordinary skills.
"The tomb of the crazy Haotian and his beloved wife Rong Rou"
After three days and nights of running around, Mo Ran and Mo Haopeng finally arrived at the burial place of Mo Ran’s father.
"It's finally here." Mo Ran looked at the stone tablet and murmured softly, and a trace of desolation suddenly appeared in his heart. Tears as big as beans rolled down his cheeks when he saw the stone tablet.
"Pu" Mo Ran knelt in front of the stone tablet, took out the wine that had been prepared, poured a glass of wine and slowly sprinkled it in front of the tomb.
"Father, mother, the child is unfilial, I will only come to see you today." After saying that, Mo Ran put down the wine glass in his hand and kowtowed three times respectfully.
"Oh~, Brother Lingfeng, sister-in-law, I will take Mo Ran to see you." Mo Haopeng was not excited and felt a little sad. He was unrestrained, and his tears slowly slid down. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the time when he was a child when he was practicing martial arts with Mo Lingfeng.
"Why is it not Mo Lingfeng but Kuangsheng Haotian?" Just as Mo Haopeng fell into memories, a low voice interrupted his thoughts.
Mo Haopeng came back to his senses, and did not dare to look at Mo Ran's questioning gaze. He deliberately turned his head aside, sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Your father has a wish, that he could return to his hometown after his death. But at that time, your father had been expelled from the family, and even the power of the surname Mo was deprived of. How could he be buried in Xiaodangshan? I have no choice but to realize his last wish, I could only send someone to secretly transport his body here. Although this place is a little far from the Mo family in Xiaodangshan, it is still within the Mo family's sphere of influence, which can be considered as letting him die in peace. However, I am afraid that one day the family members will find out, so I dare not carve his real name on the stone tablet, so I had to carve his name on the mainland."
After hearing Mo Haopeng's words, Mo Ran clenched his fists and said angrily: "Are you dead, do you still pay attention to those empty and ethereal rules?"
Mo Haopeng heard the anger in Mo Ran's tone. Not only did he not get angry, but he was a little bit self-blame and said with a wry smile: "This is nothing to do. The clan rules are clan rules, and no one can change them."
"unless…"
"Unless what?"
When asked, the originally sad expression disappeared without a trace. The mighty domineering and sharp eyes returned to Mo Haopeng, who was a martial master. He stared at Mo Ran tightly, pointed to the top of Xiaodang Mountain, and said, "Unless one day, you can use your strength to tell the noble elders above that you Mo Ran is Mo Lingfeng's son. Your father is qualified to be the surname Mo, and he is even more qualified to be buried at the top of Xiaodang Mountain."
A thunder-like shout echoed among the mountains with the wind, forming a faint echo, which made Mo Ran unable to calm down for a long time. Strength? Proof?
"You are right, my father's last wish should be fulfilled." After clenching his fists, Mo Ran knelt on the ground again and said hatefully: "Father, one day, the child will definitely send you back to the Mo family in person."
The echoes dissipated, and the cliff top returned to peace again. The rustling sound of the wind blowing on the grass became the main theme here. Mo Ran knelt down like this and never got up again. Mo Haopeng on the side did not disturb Mo Ran, but just stood quietly behind Mo Ran, silently.
One day, one night.
Mo Ran didn't move a little bit for a whole day and night. Mo Haopeng stared at him for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but feel heartache. He walked forward and was about to call Mo Ran. At this time, a sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded in the distance. As the sound was heard, the two of them looked into the distance. A green light broke through the sky from not far away, forming a shining ball of light in the air, which gradually dissipated after a long time.
"Wait for me here for a while, don't walk away." Seeing this green light, Mo Haopeng's expression suddenly changed, and then he whispered a low message and galloped towards the direction where the green light rose.
I felt that the figure in front of me was shaking. Before I could see clearly what was going on, Mo Haopeng's body was already a hundred meters away and disappeared immediately. Mo Ran was shocked. Is this the strength of Wu Zun? So fast. Looking at Mo Haopeng's anxious expression, something big might have happened.
I didn't close my eyes for a day and a night, and the feeling of fatigue slowly rose in my mind. Mo Ran fell asleep on the stone tablet. I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly felt a burst of energy coming from afar. Mo Ran suddenly woke up from his sleep, turned over and stood up, and looked straight ahead.
"Swoosh!" A figure appeared in front of Mo Ran. When Ding Qing saw that the person came was Mo Haopeng who had not returned for a long time. Mo Ran was about to ask, but Mo Haopeng took the lead and said, "What happened."
"What's the matter?" Mo Ran asked hurriedly.
"Two days ago, the "Grey Magpie" branch was destroyed overnight, and no one lived."
The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Mo Ran unable to help but shake it, and asked anxiously: "What? Who did it?"
"I don't know yet. I'm investigating now, but the most likely one is the Pang family. Pang Hong's old ghost will never give up on his death. I think there will be no one except the Pang family." Mo Haopeng replied with a serious expression.
"Where is the cousin and brother?" Hearing Mo Haopeng's answer, Mo Ran suddenly remembered the two people who were still in Ziyun City and asked in a panic look.
"I don't know yet, but the bodies of them were not found at the scene."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since no corpses were found, it means they might still be alive.
"Now I want to go back to Ziyun City, you..."
"I'll go too." Mo Ran answered decisively after interrupting Mo Haopeng's words.
"No. It's very dangerous there." Mo Ran firmly refused Mo Ran, and Mo Haopeng shook his head and said.
"I'm going. My cousin and my elder brother are there, so I can't just leave it alone."
Looking at Mo Ran's resolute eyes, Mo Haopeng knew that it would be futile to continue talking, so he nodded helplessly and reminded: "Okay, but when you arrive in Ziyun City, you must always follow me and don't act recklessly."
With Mo Haopeng's approval, Mo Ran nodded gently. Then he turned to his body and kowtowed heavily to the stone tablet and murmured: "Father, wait for the child to come back again and I will send you home."
After saying that, the two left the top of the cliff and flew towards Ziyun City. This time, neither of them had a mount, but relying on their own strength, they rushed to Zigu City quickly. At first, in order to take care of Mo Ran, Mo Haopeng deliberately slowed down. After a while, he felt that the speed was too slow, Mo Haopeng simply pulled Mo Hao to fly. The powerful martial master was extremely powerful, but after practicing the body control technique, the two of them rushed outside Ziyun City in just two days.
After traveling for several days, even Mo Haopeng, who was at the Martial Master level, felt weak and consumed 70% to 80% of his internal energy. When he arrived outside Ziyun City, it was already night. Mo Haopeng did not rush to enter the city. He found a secluded place in the dense forest outside the city and recovered well. When his condition returned to 90%, he took Mo Ran into Ziyun City.
"Be careful." He whispered Mo Ran, and Mo Haopeng slowed down. He fought fiercely in Ziyun City. This was a rule that had been set long ago. Mo Haopeng naturally knew very well. If he entered the city, he was still anxious and angry, he would be immediately noticed by the masters hidden in the city. This was very unfavorable for the current situation of the two. Therefore, although he was extremely anxious, he still had to pretend to be nothing on the surface.
They were calm on the surface, but the steps under their feet were constantly accelerating. Not long after, they came to the door of Renhou Antique Store. Looking at the scene in front of them, their brows frowned together.
The Renhou Antique Store, which used to be crowded with people, has now become a piece of rubble. Looking out of the door, all the facilities inside were destroyed, broken wood and tiles were paved all over the floor, and the walls and ground inside the store were traces of blood staining. From this scene, it is not difficult to see how tragic the battle a few days ago, or the massacre a few days ago.
"Get in." He slowly glanced around and saw that there was no one around, Mo Haopeng whispered.
Then, the two of them flashed in and came to the underground passage in the backyard through the store. The stone slabs at the entrance of the passage were not closed, which means that the person who came here had known that there was a secret passage here. When they walked into the secret passage, they saw that the situation here was no better than outside. The walls were stained with blood, and there was still a residual bloody smell in the air, which made people feel nauseated. After entering the hall, except for the bloodstains of Banban and the broken weapons, only large pieces of shredded paper were scattered on the ground.
"Where is the corpse? Why can't you see a single one?" Mo Ran asked hurriedly after looking around for a week.
"I don't know. After receiving the message, I immediately asked you to come with me. I think someone must have transported the body away." Mo Haopeng replied while searching around.
"Who is such a ruthless move? Except for the cousin who is a congenital warrior, almost all the other masters here are warriors." Looking back at the beginning, Fang Tang, as the number one master here, was only a samurai cultivation level. To destroy everyone here in an instant, you only need two powerful men of the Martial Guard level. Now that there is no corpse here, it means that the other party obviously does not intend to keep a living. When Mo Ran thought of this, a resentment rose from his heart and said with his teeth cut.
Mo Haopeng walked to the wall, reached out to touch the knife marks on the wall, and said, "Looking at the knife marks on the wall, the other party obviously did not keep his hand. This was coming for us."
Just as Mo Ran was about to open his mouth to scold the murderer, a low and cold voice suddenly came from behind the two of them: "Master Mo San, please."
"Who?" Hearing someone talking, the two suddenly turned around and looked at each other with a cautious look.
