The ancestral temple is dilapidated and has not been repaired for many years. There are few incense and its popularity has faded. It is almost abandoned. If it were not for the mute old man who has been guarding outside the ancestral hall for decades, Xue Nianchu and Xia Mang ran away again half a year ago.
Nanzhao Hou Mansion, entering the ancestral temple, I am afraid that this historic Dragon Controlling Ancestral Temple has long been completely forgotten in the corner by the world.
Next to the ancestral temple, there is a simple courtyard with a thatched house, a fence wall, stone chairs around a stone table, and a few willow trees, dotted with greenery. The courtyard is small and simple, it can be regarded as a "humble house", but it is very simple and gives people
An intoxicating warmth.
This is the home of Xia Mang and Xue Nianchu.
In fact, half a year ago they were still living in Nanzhao Hou's Mansion. Xue Nianchu was Nanzhao Hou's legitimate daughter, but she was not favored. In addition, she was blind. Many people bullied and suppressed her and tried their best to make things difficult for her.
, life was very hard.
Especially later, after she went to the Cangming Coast to pay homage to her mother, she brought back a "fool" Xia Mang. Those people intensified their behavior and made life even more difficult.
Xia Mang slept in a daze for seven days. After waking up, he has been sluggish and silent in recent months. Many people have insinuated that he is a "fool".
At that time, only Xue Nianchu would defend him and block him behind her tender and thin body.
Xia Mang watched all this silently, but never spoke.
Good people can be bullied by others, but as time goes by, those people become more domineering and harsh.
In the remaining months, life for the two of them became even more difficult.
That day, Xia Mang suddenly stood up, gently took Xue Nianchu's hand, and walked out of Nanzhao Hou Mansion in full view of everyone.
In front of the Hou Mansion, he stopped, turned around, looked at the people in the Hou Mansion and said only one sentence. This was the first time he spoke after waking up.
"Today I will take you away, and tomorrow I will make them all kneel on the ground, begging you to come back."
In a word, it is indifferent and sonorous.
At that time, standing in front of the Hou Mansion was none other than Xue Nianchu's father, Nanzhao Hou.
That day, the city was full of wind and snow, and also the city was full of wind and rain, which spread to an uproar.
Finally, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Xia Mang took Xue Nianchu's cold hand and walked away quietly. But although Nanzhao Mansion is big, where is the place for the two of them?
Looking up at the sky, where can I call home?
Finally, they came to the westernmost part of Nanzhao Mansion, where Xia Mang built a small thatched house with his own hands and lived next to the ancestral temple.
…
The two returned to the house. Xia Mang first handed the hand stove to Xue Nianchu, and then lit the "red stove" in the room. Soon, the temperature in the room rose a lot, and Xue Nianchu's pale cheeks also
A touch of blood.
This woman was born with a cold body. Even in the scorching red sun, she could not stay away from the red furnace for a long time, otherwise the "cold syndrome" would break out, like ants eating away at the bones, and the pain would be unbearable.
Xia Mang even suspected that the reason why she was blind was because the cold poison was too strong and too strong to attack her heart.
The eyes are the "windows" to the heart. If the heart is clean, the talent will be flawless. If the heart is covered with dust, the eyes will naturally become blind.
Xia Mang settled down with Xue Nianchu and was about to go out when Xue Nianchu suddenly spoke with a soft voice, "Xiao Mang, do you want to remember your past self?"
Xia Mang froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't want to."
"Since you can forget it, it means that it is not important. If it is not important, why should you remember it?" Xia Mang paused and then said: "The past is over, I am just Xia Mang."
His voice was light and gentle, and he seemed to really not mind and not be attached to the past.
If he knew why he lost his memory, he might not be so calm. If one day he recalls that the "chamber pot" was the initiator of all this, he might be so angry that his liver and lungs will hurt, and he will blow up the chamber pot.
Eight petals.
"Then you want to know why I named you Xia Mang?" Although Xue Nianchu was blind and could not see, he seemed to be able to sense where Xia Mang was and kept "gazing" at him without taking his eyes off him.
"In no mood."
Xia Mango shook his head, then told Xue Nianchu to rest, and left the room.
"fraud."
When Xue Nianchu heard the sound of the door closing, she smoothed her hair beside her ears with her jade hand, smiled, and murmured: "He is still a persistent liar."
Although she was blind and unable to see, she was incredibly bright at this moment.
Xia Mang left the small courtyard and came to the ancestral temple. Seeing the mute old man still carving wood carvings, he just glanced at it and said nothing.
This mute old man only has wood carvings in his eyes. Unless Xue Nianchu appears, he will not raise his head to take another look. Everyone, including Xia Mang, sees them as nothing.
Xia Mang did not ask for trouble, he looked inside the ancestral temple.
There are two statues enshrined in the ancestral temple. To be precise, one statue. It is a middle-aged man with extremely powerful martial arts. He holds a divine halberd and has a real dragon coiled around his body!
One person is coiling a dragon, an unparalleled warrior!
"Ancestor of Dragon Control, White Dragon King..."
Xia Mang looked at the statue, his eyes flickered, and said to himself: "The southern region of Canglan, a corner of the land, the Dragon Controlling Dynasty, one of the Nine Songs..."
The name of the place where he is located is "Nanzhao Prefecture", which is one of the eighteen prefectures and counties in the Yulong Dynasty.
Xia Mang pondered for a moment, and then he was about to step into the ancestral temple. Suddenly, a cold shout came from a distance: "Xia Mang, hand over Ni Lin!"
The footsteps were very fast, coming from far and near, and it was noisy and chaotic. It was obvious that there were many people walking together. They rushed to the ancestral temple eagerly to cause trouble for Xia Mang and ask for Ni Lin.
Xia Mang turned around and looked at the person who came. The leader was a young man about twenty-four or five years old. He was dressed in purple and had a majestic appearance. Next to him were Mu Chi and Xuan Wu, who were knocked down by Xia Mang's punches and kicks.
Worry, there are still many people following behind, but most of them are young people.
"Hand over the reverse scale!"
Mu Chi shouted, he stared at Xia Mang, his eyes seemed to burst out of fire, and he was extremely angry. You know, in Nanzhao Mansion, at his age, he could barely be considered a hero when he entered the extraordinary realm, but he was
Xia Mang, who was rumored to be a "fool", was defeated with a wave of his hand. This was such a shame. How could he endure this humiliation?
Next to him, Xuan Wuyou was also very sad and angry, wishing he could rush up to him and peel off Xia Mang's skin and tendons in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Xia Mang was very calm, just looking at everyone and saying nothing.
"Xia Mang!"
Mu Chi felt that he had been ignored, and he was depressed and angry. He turned to the young man in purple and said, "Brother Hao, the reverse scale is on this fool!"
After being defeated by Xia Mang, he was so angry that he hurriedly returned to the clan, moved out his clan brother Mu Hao, and lured him with Ni Lin, hoping that he would take revenge.
This clan brother has already reached the Transcendence Realm, and even stepped into the Transcendence Realm with one foot. His cultivation level is much better than his. In his opinion, he will definitely be able to defeat Xia Mang who tortured him!
"You must have some ability to defeat Mu Chi and Xuan Wuyou." Mu Hao looked at Xia Mang and said directly: "But you are not qualified to have Ni Lin, so hand it over."
His tone was very calm, not arrogant, but he had an undeniable calmness and calmness.
He seems to have settled on Xia Mang.
Xia Mang didn't even look at him, turned around and walked towards the ancestral temple.
Mu Hao's face instantly darkened, and he was actually ignored!
