Chapter 1,076 Regaining Motivation
When he woke up, Li Chuyi felt refreshed.
He hadn't slept so contentedly in a long time.
Time seemed to go back to when he was very young. At that time, the Taoist priests had not yet begun to train him. Every night they would tell him some weird stories to lull him to sleep. The wonderful stories and the warmth of a loving father made his heart rich and peaceful, and he felt No matter what kind of terrible things he faces, he will be fearless.
Because he is safe, the Taoist priest will protect him.
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve felt this feeling. Li Chuyi couldn’t remember when he began to forget this feeling. It might have been when he was living in Mobei, or it might have been the day he separated from the Taoist priest, but it doesn’t matter anymore. .
Now he was surrounded by this strong sense of security again, and the faint fragrance on the tip of his nose made him extremely attached. His mind was filled with joy and satisfaction, and he was too lazy to think about anything disturbing.
With his eyes closed, he kept pursuing the happiness in his dream, but when he woke up, the extremely clear images in his dream began to become annoyingly blurry. Along with it, the sense of peace that made him not want to extricate himself faded away. No matter how hard he tried to stay, he couldn't delay him even a little bit.
In the end, his completely awakened consciousness forced him to face the result that he hated so much - after waking up from the dream, people had to face reality.
With a deep sigh of relief, Li Chuyi gave up his fruitless pursuit.
He hated the shortness of the dream and couldn't let go of the peaceful land in the dream, but he knew better what he should do.
Having come this far, he had to face some things that he had been subconsciously avoiding.
He came to Dayan for Yu Yao, but is this really the only reason?
Asking himself, Li Chuyi had to admit that Yu Yao was the main reason, but it was also the reason why he forced himself to come here. Deep down in his heart, the cause of his mother's death actually ranked higher than finding Yu Yao. It's just that he always thought that he was not strong enough so he didn't dare to face it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have inquired about Yu Yao's whereabouts. He asked him about his mother in passing, and he wouldn't rely on Li Sinian to make up his mind when Mu Dong came to pick him up.
All this is because he himself has no idea.
If the Taoist priest had been with him, he would have dragged the Taoist priest to the imperial court to question Mr. Yuwen. Why would he be so hesitant and pretentious as now?
But things are different now.
After walking around the small building and seeing his mother's smiling face on the scroll, he was determined to find out the matter. Even if he had to sacrifice a hundred or ten pounds of his own flesh, he would have to find out the cause of his mother's death. Find out, to comfort her soul in heaven.
Thinking deeply, this was not only for his mother and himself, but also for Ye Zhichen.
The death of his mother has always been a knot in Ye Zhichen's heart. Aunt Qing has only been able to untie it a little bit with her help after so many years of guarding her. If this progress continues, it will be difficult for the two of them to die, even if they are forced to get together. In the end, there will be constant twists and turns due to the unresolved knots in the heart, and even regrets throughout the life.
This is not alarmist, because Mu Xueqing and Mu Xueling are so similar. Li Chuyi had no idea at first, but after seeing the portrait, he finally understood why Ye Zhichen looked at Aunt Qing with such complicated eyes every time. Leaving aside their temperament, the two sisters seemed to be made from the same mold.
Seeing things and missing people, Ye Zhichen's suffering made Li Chu feel heartbroken just thinking about it. He didn't want Uncle Ye to continue like this. The "Ruthless Sword Master" is a glory in the eyes of others, but in his eyes it is unspeakable misery and desolation.
Find out the cause of his mother's death and give Ye Zhichen an explanation. Even if it can't make up for all his regrets, it can at least put a lid on his missing heart, allowing him to put other people in his heart again and no longer hug him. Weeping painfully at the remnants of the past.
With his heart burning, the more Li Chuyi thought about it, the more he felt that his decision was right.
He found that he was really stupid before. Maybe because his strength grew too fast, he unknowingly got used to solving everything with brute force, just like a Taoist priest who looked down on all directions, but neither his strength nor reality could tolerate him like this. mess. It would be nice to kick over the Dragon Throne, but this is not the path he can take now. The result of pursuing it in vain can only be a dead end, which only adds troubles and blocks himself to the point where he can't do anything.
The path he should take should be like when he first went to Mobei. At that time, his skills were inferior to others, and his trump card was ten thousand times worse than now. But at that time, he was still prosperous, leaving an unpleasant but resounding name in Mobei. This was not only the result of his reckless actions with real swords and guns, but also his ability to judge the situation and leverage it. Calculated.
He hooked up with the Hao family through Li Sinian, hooked up with Zhi Gelin through the Hao family, forced Yuwen Xuanli back through Xiaomu and Hao Erye, and finally became the biggest winner of the Xuanbing Cold Prison. Even Hao Youxiao, the daughter of the Hao family, accidentally became his unmarried daughter-in-law.
Although there are promoters behind these things, his own choices are more important. Finding the right tree is the main reason for his survival. As the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. If he had made a wrong step in the beginning, no matter how big the Taixu Palace was or how ruthless the Mu family was, he would have been wiped out by the wrong person by the wrong person.
It's much better now than before. Taixu Palace is supporting her, and his legendary grandfather of the Mu family seems to be eager to recognize him. Not to mention how many hidden secrets Old Man Mu knew, even if he didn't know anything at all, as long as he knew this grandpa, he would be considered a member of the Mu family.
With the Mu family's influence, he could not only thrive in the imperial capital, but also try to have a showdown with Yuwen Tailuo. It is true that the old emperor is the master of Dayan, but the Mu family is not bad either. From Mu Dong's attitude, he can feel the strange relationship between the Mu family and the Yuwen royal family. Under the surface respect, there is an arrogance of being equals. Yan Ruo said that there is no one who can make the old emperor afraid, and it is undoubtedly the Mu family.
Besides, the old emperor might not kill him. He wanted to capture him alive several times. He estimated that the old emperor was similar to old man Mu, and he also had the idea of acknowledging his relatives.
Whether it was due to conscience discovery or old age regrets, if the old emperor really had this intention, he would not be able to think about it. By recognizing him as the emperor's father, in exchange for the cause of his mother's death, even if it was fake, he could continue to look for clues and continue to investigate.
When the truth is found out, as long as my mother's death is really related to Yuwen Tailuo, then I will just fall out. Anyway, he only had his mother in his heart from beginning to end, and never had a father.
More importantly, with the help of the Mu family and Yuwen's team, it should be easier to find out Yu Yao's whereabouts. If Yu Yao was really in danger of life and death, and he tried to show off his power, he wouldn't believe that anyone would dare to touch her!
After all, he is weak and has narrow shoulders. Head-on pushing is not his style, and it is not what he is capable of. Using a tiger's skin as a banner to bully others is the right way.
It's ridiculous that he was thinking about how to break into the prison of the Supervision Department before, but now that he thinks about it, he is really looking for death. No wonder the Seven Day Cicada laughs at him.
It's actually easy to think about these things, but he had always had a knot in his mind before and didn't want to think about it. Once I figured it out, all kinds of inspirations came to me.
He even wondered if the old emperor would lose his mind and want him to be the emperor. If he then messed up and destroyed Dayan, would it be regarded as leaving his name in history?
If that were to happen, would the old man from Baijie have to bring the heroes from three mountains and five mountains to kneel and thank him with banners and gongs and drums?
The more Li Chuyi thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Full of energy, he opened his eyes and rolled over to sit up. Just as he was about to turn around and jump off the bed, his mind was shaken from the corner of his eye, and he grasped the hilt of the Yaizhen Sword with his backhand.
The sword was not unsheathed, and Li Chuyi looked at the old man sitting on the embroidery stool warily.
His tiger-like eyes, angry brows, short beard, and bulging muscles don't look like an old man at all. He doesn't look like a good guy at first glance.
But the strange thing is that the other party's old face, which is calm and self-defeating, is now filled with incompatible tenderness, and a pair of clear old eyes are full of excitement and complexity. When she saw that she found him, she couldn't help but stand up to greet him, but her buttocks just A little away from the stool, he opened his mouth and sat back down. He didn't say anything, but just looked at himself for a moment.
With a flash of his eyes, Li Chuyi guessed who this person was. The hand holding the sword hilt was lowered, and instead of pretending to be a stool, he sat cross-legged and floated on the spot.
"coming?"
Mu Fangli was slightly startled. He had thought of many kinds of opening remarks, but he did not expect that Li Chuyi would greet him like this, as if he had met an acquaintance whom he had not seen for a long time.
But then, he became excited because Li Chuyi didn't get angry or treat him coldly. This should be considered a good start.
To be honest, he had been struggling with how to make the first conversation with his grandson who he had never met before. He didn't hesitate to come up with a result until Li Chuyi spoke. Li Chuyi simply said two words It can be regarded as resolving the situation for him.
There were thousands of things he wanted to say in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, Mu Fangli only uttered two words: "Just arrived."
Trying not to roll his eyes, the little fat man didn't know how to proceed. After thinking for a while, he simply let it go and said directly: "Why don't you wake me up?"
Mu Fangli breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Li Chuyi would run out of words after finishing his sentence. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said with a kind face: "Looking at how deeply you were sleeping, I couldn't bear to call you. Anyway, there's nothing going on, so I'll just wait for you to wake up."
After a pause, he asked a little cautiously: "Are you full? Did you sleep well?"
"Very good. I haven't felt this good in a long time."
Li Chuyi nodded sincerely, then asked with a smile on his brows: "You won't be angry if I sleep here without your permission, right? But don't worry, I'm going to sleep, but not next to the bed, always separated by On the first floor, you have no reason to be angry!"
As he spoke, Dao Yuan appeared on his body, looking triumphant.
She was still looking for traces of her daughter between Li Chuyi's eyebrows and feet. When Li Chuyi said this, Mu Fangli's eyes suddenly turned red, and she felt indescribable sadness and pity in her heart. She wanted to get up and go over to hug him, but she didn't dare. She was worried that it would be too much for Meng Lang and scare him.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly with a slight trembling, Mu Fangli's old face bloomed with an extremely gentle smile.
"My child, this is your home, and this house is your mother's boudoir before she left the palace. You can sleep if you want, and no one will blame you. Don't talk about this place, the entire Mu family and even the entire Dayan, as long as you like Any place can be considered yours, as long as you are happy!”
"That's it. Old man, you are quite powerful. Your tone is almost as good as that of my stinky old man!"
With admiration on his lips, Li Chuyi's smile faded.
"But why does this place become my home? Are you confused, old man? You can identify your relatives with anyone you catch? You don't need to shed blood to identify your relatives, or use your magic to trace your origins or something like that?"
"Haha, there's no need for that. You are my grandson! If you don't believe me, you can look at the golden bell on your chest. That is your mother's life treasure. No one else can touch it except her and you, not even me! That is your token!" Mu Fangli pointed at Li Chuyi's chest, with bitterness and reminiscence flashing in his smiling eyes.
"What gold... I... I'm a Taoist priest, when did this come here?"
