C35 The fortuitous encounter In the forest be henceforth the brother
Mo Jingtian brought his horse down the mountain, traveling in the forest. Although he wanted to return home as soon as possible, he could not bear to part with Taibai Qingshan, so he did not do so in a hurry.
Suddenly, a wail came from the forest, Mo Jingtian was curious, and went towards the source of the cry. As he led the horse forward, he saw a teenager in beast clothes prostrating on top of a corpse, crying bitterly.
He stood there and watched for a while before stepping forward to comfort her. That youth wiped his tears away as Mo Jingtian helped him up. It turned out that the father and son duo came here today to hunt for the nearby hunters, yet they had never met the One Evil Bear. In order to protect him, his father fought the bear and died, and the bear also escaped from being injured.
Mo Jingtian hesitated for a moment, thinking, there are very few people here, only hunting. Why are there so many fierce beasts in the three forests, and why are they so deep in there? Then he stopped suspecting. Only then did Mo Jingtian ask about his age. When the youth returned, he found out that he had a gentle personality, called Hu'er, and was 16 years old. His father died, and he no longer had any family members in his family.
Mo Jingtian was deeply sympathetic, and felt the same way. The two swore to be brothers, and Yang Jing followed Mo Jingtian down the mountain.
After descending the mountain and arriving at a town, the two youths found an inn to rest for the night. That night, the two of them ate and drank together, and then they started to discuss, and Mo Jingtian also told them his past. Yang Jing sighed, and then said: "Big brother, although we are not born from the same roots, we are now brothers, so we should live and die together. Mo Jingtian replied, "Brother, there is no need. I have my own matters to take care of. "I can teach you martial arts so that you can find a place to stand up in the future."
"I wonder what big brother plans he has now?"
"I want to pay my respects to my family and the dead souls of the people of Liu Jiazhuang's manor, then head south. Before going down the mountain, grandfather once told me that if I do not know who my enemy is, I can go to Hangzhou. As for Wu Lin, I will go to the Brightmoon Restaurant, and since my grandfather is indebted to the Tower Lord, I can find out some information about him."
"Alright, I'll go with brother."
The next day, Mo Jingtian brought Yang Jing and bought a few sets of clothes. Yang Jing put them on, and with a shake of his body, he changed into the appearance of an elegant young master. He was taller than Mo Jingtian by a few points, his body was slightly skinny, his face did not look like someone who had suffered since he was young, he was very fair and clean. Wearing a black robe and a square handkerchief, it seemed that he was not used to wearing clothes, and kept tugging at his clothes from all directions.
Mo Jingtian said: "Let's go brother, let's go buy you a horse, then find you a weapon."
The two of them went to the horse market in the city, and Mo Jingtian picked a white steed for him. After paying the silver, he went to the weapon store and on the way, Yang Jing said to Mo Jingtian: "Brother, isn't your family forging swords for generations? "I want your sword, why should I buy it?"
Mo Jingtian replied: "My grandfather has already been harmed by others, before he died, I was still young, and I have never taught him how to forge swords, so how could I forge a sword! Moreover, my grandpa has already warned me, from now on, my Mo Clan no longer has to suffer from the burden of a thousand years of fame, and we no longer need to forge swords. "
"Big brother, don't you want to continue the Sword Crafting Family?" Even though your grandfather didn't teach you, but since he has inherited the art of forging swords to this day, I believe there must be a record of it! Your grandfather couldn't teach you, so you can teach yourself! "One day, you will also be able to make a name for yourself."
After Mo Jingtian heard these words, he was slightly surprised in his heart. He looked at Yang Jing without thinking, and only shook his head and replied: "Grandfather did not tell you. Presumably, he doesn't want me to learn that sword art. Furthermore, my Mo Clan has been plagued by this sword forging family since our ancestors founded it. We were in the martial world for generations to come and we would not be able to live peacefully. We only competed against the heavens for fear of breaking the legacy. Sigh! It was hard to enter the martial arts world, but it was even harder to leave it! "Let's go." After he finished speaking, Mo Jingtian walked forward. Yang Jing shook his head behind him, thought for a while, and followed behind him.
The two of them went to the weapon store and the shopkeeper welcomed them with a smile, and when Yang Jing saw that he was on a sword, he picked one himself. Mo Jingtian naturally followed him and paid the silver, and the two of them brought their horses out of the city. The two then rode south, heading towards Mo Jingtian's hometown.
A month later, the two brothers arrived at the vicinity of Beiping City and Shuntian Manor. Because the Swallow King was stationed there, commonly known as' Yan Jing ', the Swallow King became' Shuntian 'after becoming the emperor. It was a bustling scene right now, but right now, Shuntian Manor was in the midst of building an imperial city, and many refugees, wealthy families in Jiangnan and merchants were moving in.
Mo Jingtian and planned to bring their horses into the city to rest for the night, and while they were looking around the city, they were blocked by the city guards for some reason. The two brothers were not alarmed, being in front of them, they asked the city guards why the city guards did not care, they just asked them why the city guards did not care, and the two of them told them the truth, but the city guards wanted to detain the two of them to listen to their orders, of course Mo Jingtian did not agree, but after thinking about it, how could the government officials make things difficult for the people inside the city, so under helplessness, Mo Jingtian took out a silver ingot from his clothes and handed it over to the city guards. The soldier's silver taels secretly glanced at the guarding general. The guarding general checked a bit, and the soldier let them through.
It was enough for Mo Jingtian to use it for three to five years, so he naturally did not care in his heart. However, after entering the city, for some reason, Yang Jing spat towards the city guards and scolded, "The world is dark, but the imperial court is still not the same as a bird!"
Mo Jingtian replied, "Alright, brother, it's just a small sum of silver, so there's no need to worry. Let's go and find a place to stay.
As the sky grew dark, the brothers arrived at the city and led their horses around, until they arrived at an alley, where the lanes were decorated with lanterns, and the fragrance of wine permeated the air. Presumably, there were wine in this alley, so they led their horses in, and before they managed to enter the alley, they were stopped by an old woman in her forties. The old woman was wearing a red robe, her skin was slightly exposed, and her body was emitting a strong scent of makeup.
"Screech!" What two handsome youths, and also carrying swords, must be the two heroic youths. As the saying goes, two young heroes, two heroes, two beauties, the girls here are all beautiful, the two young warriors will definitely like it! Ladies, why don't you invite these two young heroes in! "
At the same time, five or six young ladies came out of the door, which was filled with beautiful flowers and surrounded the two of them. They dragged them into the door, and when the two entered, they saw that there were two people on the third floor, both men and women were walking up and down, and were having fun. The two of them knew exactly where the commotion was, and wanted to run away, but how could the young ladies let them in, so they pretended to be pitiful, "Young Hero, come! "Young hero, am I not beautiful?"
Mo Jingtian had no choice but to plan, he took out a few taels of silver from his robes and threw them inside, then the young ladies let go, afraid that they would be too slow, they went in to snatch the silver, the two of them rushed out the door, their clothes were already disheveled, they were in an extremely sorry state, then snatched the horses from the man's hands to cover their faces and left.
The woman at the door put her hands on her hips and spat, "Pfft, you two inexperienced men, didn't you come here to have a good time? What are you pretending for!"
"Yang Jing wanted to go back and argue with her, but Mo Jingtian stopped him," Brother, there's no need, that's just another person's bowl of rice. We may not give it to her, but why fight with her over it? "What's more, she's a talker. Are you sure you're her match?"
Yang Jing scratched his head and gave a silly smile, "Brother, you're right. I have never read a book nor am I literate, so I can't win against her!"
"You've read a book, but you can't win against her. In the future, I'll teach you how to read. Let's go drink!"
With that, the two of them left the alleyway and went to another place.
