The moment the masked woman appeared, Mu Yi's expression was extremely solemn, not only because the monster in the river actually had an owner, but also because the masked woman gave him a very strange feeling. She was clearly there, but it seemed like there was nothing there.
It seems real and illusory, like a dream.
Mu Yi quietly bit the tip of his tongue. The severe pain shocked him, but there was still no change in what he could see. However, when the power of his mind swept across it, there was no one there.
This was the first time Mu Yi encountered this situation, and he couldn't help but feel wary.
The masked woman stepped on the monster's head with her bare feet and slowly approached the building.
At this moment, everyone on the boat was completely dumbfounded. Even the boatmen were kneeling on the ground, muttering to themselves, asking the river god to atone for their sins. Obviously, they regarded the woman who stepped on the river demon as a legend.
The river god in.
As for whether the river god is male or female, they no longer consider it, because in their eyes, only the river god can control such a powerful river monster.
"Is it really the River God?" At this moment, even Mu Yi had a ridiculous idea in his heart. Who told him that he had just destroyed the River God's sacrifice during the day? If the River God had a spirit, it would be normal to find him.
And the reason why he thought so was because the masked woman gave him the feeling that she was not a real person.
The masked woman stepped on the monster and soon came within three feet of the building. For Mu Yi, this distance was already very close. He even had the urge to throw the spear in his hand, but
In the end, he endured it.
Not to mention that the origin of the other party is unknown and unpredictable. The monster under her feet is enough to make him eat a pot if he really goes crazy. Therefore, before he has determined whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, and the conflict is difficult to reconcile, he does not want to
Take action.
After the monster stopped, it slowly rose up. Most of its head was completely exposed from the water. Its two front paws, which were like dragon claws, were pressed into the river water. Its eyes, which were much larger than fists, stared at Mu Yi hatefully.
On its body, the masked woman was already on the same level as Mu Yi standing on the bow.
"So it's you!"
Just when Mu Yi was thinking about how to speak, the masked woman looked at Mu Yi and suddenly said, her voice was clear and sweet, and it felt like a cold spring pouring down from the top of her head on a hot summer day.
That feeling of instant relief all over your body.
"So it's you?" Just five words immediately caused waves in Mu Yi's heart. He has always been convinced of his memory. Except for the memory before he was six years old, everything that happened later was clear.
Imprinted in his mind, he was sure that he had never met the other party before, but the other party's tone sounded like he had seen him before, and he was even familiar with it.
"Miss, do you know Xiaodao?" Mu Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Xiaodao? Is your name now Xiaodao?" Mu Yi almost choked at the words of the masked woman. He looked at the other party intently and found that the other party did not seem to be deliberately teasing him, but looked very serious.
After thinking for a while, Mu Yi continued: "My name is Mu Yi!"
"Mu Yi?" The masked woman tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said bluntly: "It's not as nice as your previous name."
"My previous name?" Mu Yi was stunned again. His name was given to him by the old Taoist. As for whether he had a name before or what it was called, Mu Yi didn't know at all. He didn't even have the memory of his parents.
.
But when he heard the masked woman's words, Mu Yi's heart began to churn violently. He looked at the masked woman in disbelief. Could it be that the other party knew him? Did he know his true identity?
Thinking of this, Mu Yi could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.
"If the girl really knows me, please tell me the truth." Mu Yi looked at the masked woman and said solemnly.
"It turns out you are not you anymore."
Just as Mu Yi was waiting for the masked woman to give her answer, the other party suddenly shook her head, with a hint of loneliness in her voice.
"Girl, are you entertaining me?" Mu Yi looked at the other party with a somewhat unkind expression. The other party's words were confusing. One moment he said it was him, and the next moment he said it wasn't him. At least in Mu Yi's opinion, the other party did it on purpose.
And now that he calmed down, he couldn't help but figure it out. If the other person really knew him before he was six years old, then he wouldn't recognize him at a glance. On the other hand, if he knew him now, how could he not know him?
name?
Even if you don't know the name, you shouldn't say that you are no longer you.
"It's a pity that it took too long to come out this time, but since you have the key, we will meet again sooner or later." The masked woman said to herself again, not even giving Mu Yi a chance to speak.
After she finished speaking, she stepped lightly and said, "Let's go, let's go home."
The monster under her feet immediately swung its tail, circled the boat half a circle, and then swam upstream.
After waiting for the other party to disappear, Mu Yi still hadn't come to his senses. In fact, there were still many things in his mind that he hadn't thought through. He even thought about taking action when the woman left just now, but in the end the impulse was suppressed.
Come down.
Although the monster attacked the building, he was stabbed with a pole. As for the woman, she did not show any hostility since she appeared, but her words were strange and confusing.
But her last two words before leaving still made Mu Yi confirm something.
The other party knows that the key to the ancient Yellow River Road is in his possession, and what does the phrase "we will meet again sooner or later" mean?
She is also one of the owners of six keys? Or is it from one of the other five families?
Just Baidi City, Maoshan Sect, Longhu Mountain, Forbidden City, Dunhuang Ancient City, which one is it?
The ancient city of Dunhuang can be excluded first, because it is too far away from here, and it is impossible to raise existences such as river monsters in the northwest.
The Maoshan sect and Longhushan are both Taoist priests. Although they also have female relatives, the possibility is equally unlikely.
That leaves the Baidi City and the Forbidden City, one in the south and one in the north.
Although he had some vague guesses in his mind, Mu Yi was still not sure.
"Whether you are pretending to be a ghost or not, I will find out sooner or later." Mu Yi said in his heart, and at the same time suppressed the emotions stirred up by the masked woman.
Although he really wanted to search for his lost past, he knew that now was not the time. Perhaps he could only recover that part of his memory after his biggest wish was to find the old way and kill Li Laizi.
.
"The Taoist Master's power is unparalleled."
Just when Mu Yi was deep in thought, an excited voice came from behind.
Mu Yi didn't need to turn around to know who the speaker was, and only the manager could flatter him like this.
"Thank you Taoist Priest for saving your life." Although Wang Tao's two personal guards were not as admiring as the steward, they still bowed to Mu Yi with gratitude, because they knew very well that if it weren't for Mu Yi, they would have died.
Killed in the mouth of the monster.
"I beg you, Taoist Master, to accept me as your disciple." Wang Tao was the most straightforward. Seeing Mu Yi turn around, he didn't hesitate anymore, knelt down and said loudly.
The two guards were stunned for a moment when they heard what their young general said, but then they knelt down without saying a word. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning was already very clear.
The steward opened his mouth wide and looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with some confusion. However, he was smart after all, otherwise he would not have been sent to Mu Yi by Xu Le, so before Mu Yi could say anything, he had already taken the lead and said:
"Taoist Master, I'll go find someone first to see how damaged the hull is."
After saying that, the steward ran away without loyalty.
Mu Yi then looked at Wang Tao and asked expressionlessly: "Do you want to worship me as your teacher?"
"That's right, I'd like to ask Taoist Master to help you." Wang Tao said firmly.
"There have been people like you before, but do you know how I answered?" Mu Yi looked at Wang Tao and said calmly.
"I don't know." Wang Tao shook his head, and then continued: "As long as the Taoist master is willing to accept me as his disciple, I will agree to any request."
"Whatever the request is?" Mu Yi looked at Wang Tao playfully and said.
"Exactly." Wang Tao nodded heavily, his expression more determined than ever.
"Then what if I want this gun?" Mu Yi suddenly raised the spear in his hand and said.
"This..." Wang Tao hesitated immediately. Obviously, he did not expect that Mu Yi would ask for his gun. It is said that a gentleman will not take away someone's love, let alone his father's relic, but can he agree?
Behind him, the expressions of the two guards changed drastically at the same time, and they looked at Wang Tao nervously, fearing that he would be impulsive and actually agree.
At this moment, the two of them wanted to remind their young general, but they found that a force was directly pressing on them, making them unable to open their mouths at all.
"Whether a person is strong does not depend on being a disciple, but on whether he can endure hardships. As long as he works hard, he can achieve something even if he is limited by his talent. Moreover, my path of cultivation is not suitable for you. Considering your family tradition, as long as you are willing to
If you work hard, you may not be able to achieve first-class status in the future." Mu Yi looked at Wang Tao and shook his head gently.
Then, he handed the spear to Wang Tao and said, "This is a good spear. Don't insult him."
Wang Tao listened to Mu Yi's words and reached out blankly to take the spear, seeming to be caught up in what Mu Yi just said.
"Also, although hatred is a driving force, don't let hatred blind you." After Mu Yi said these words, he left directly.
After waiting for Mu Yi to leave, Wang Tao still didn't come to his senses. He just stared blankly at the spear in his hand. The spear that could be easily lifted with both arms now weighed as much as a thousand pounds and made him breathless.
Come.
"Young General." The two guards behind them looked at each other, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes. Seeing Wang Tao kneeling there blankly, the two finally couldn't bear it, so they called softly.
"Uncles, don't worry. I'm fine. I just miss my father a little." Wang Tao suddenly spoke, but as he spoke, a sadness gradually spread. The three of them fell into silence at the same time. No one knew what to say.
