The villain's junior brother turned out to have a crush on me

The scene was very embarrassing.

Xue Lang tremblingly pointed to the wooden comb in Meng Chen's hand: "You...you..."

Meng Chen subconsciously put the hand holding the wooden comb behind his back.

Then he realized that this move was completely stupid, so he silently put his hand back.

Alright, now I can confirm that the bandit surnamed Xue that I met in the illusion is undoubtedly Xue Lang himself.Probably the boss saw that they came together, so he thoughtfully put them into the same illusion.

However, this doesn't seem to be the current focus... Meng Chen found that his thoughts were unusually chaotic, and he didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

"I, I have a stomachache!" Xue Lang suddenly turned and ran out, "Go to the toilet first!!"

Meng Chen looked at the back of the young pig running wildly, wanted to call out but stopped, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and sighed with some headaches.

He waited at the door for about a cup of tea, and saw Xue Lang come back slowly.

It's different from when he left, with a fox mask on his face, cute and a bit dazed.

Meng Chen: "..."

Does this mean being shameless?

"I, I saw it over there, and I thought it looked good, so I bought one." Xue Lang's voice came out from under the mask, slightly stuttering.Meng Chen hummed, and found that the round jade pendant on the waist of the other party was gone.

Meng Chen had already put away the small wooden comb just now, and the two of them seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and continued to visit Xianle City, but the atmosphere was a bit strangely silent, and no one said a word for a long time.

Fortunately, the streets are crowded enough, and their silence is not obtrusive.A pointed building on the right side of the road was particularly popular. There was a long queue outside the door, and there were people walking there continuously.

It would be more embarrassing to continue walking, so it would be better to find something to do.The two walked towards that place again by coincidence. Xue Lang patted a monk on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, may I ask, what is this place for?"

The monk pointed to the signboard hanging on the main entrance of the building, with the words "Photo Gallery" written on it: "This is a novel place, and there is a holy artifact 'Photography Bead' inside, which can keep images in it forever, anytime It can be watched. Although we monks have a long life span, it is common to get together and part, and life and death are unpredictable. If you can carry the image of the person you care about at any time, it will be considered a thought."

Xue Lang seemed to be distracted after hearing this, and then asked Meng Chen, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Meng Chen had never heard of this novel magic weapon, and wanted to see it, so he readily agreed.Although there were many people in line, the team was advancing very fast, and it was their turn in a short time.The two entered the building and found a lavender round bead shining with a crystal halo in the center. The owner of the photo studio stood next to the bead and said to them with a smile: "Is the two of you taking a group photo? Stand facing the bead. Just keep smiling. That fairy friend on the right, please take off the mask."

Xue Lang: "...I can just wear it."

"How can I do that?" The boss was a little dumbfounded when he saw such a guest for the first time, "What is left is your image, if you use a mask to cover your face, what's the point? Ask the person next to you My friend, I probably won't agree."

Meng Chen glanced at him and said, "Pick it off first."

Xue Lang hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out to take off the fox mask, but his eyes did not dare to make contact with Meng Chen, and his cheeks were still a little red.

The boss saw that he didn't want to take off the mask before, and thought it was ugly. He didn't expect that he was a handsome young man, so he praised him immediately: "Your immortal has such a good appearance, why use a mask to cover it up! Okay, please, two immortal friends Get closer so I can grab the image."

Xue Lang moved slightly towards Meng Chen.

"It's still too far away! Get closer!"

Xue Lang moved again.

"That little fairy friend, keep your head straight and don't hide your eyes from the side!"

Xue Lang turned his gaze back stiffly.

"Smile! Smile! The expression is too serious!"

Xue Lang lifted the corner of his mouth stiffly.

boss:"……"

Seeing that Xue Lang and the boss were about to torture each other insanely, Meng Chen couldn't stand it any longer, so he quietly reached out and pinched Xue Lang's waist.

Xue Lang shuddered all over, suddenly widened his eyes and turned his face to look at him.

Meng Chen didn't look at him, but stared directly at the picture bead in front of him, and said softly: "Look at the bead, laugh."

Xue Lang immediately turned his head, stood up straight, and smiled subconsciously.

"Okay!" The boss signaled that the group photo was completed, knocked on the picture bead, took out a shiny purple bead from under the bead, walked up to the two of them and said, "This is the bead, the image is stored in it, rub it three times, You can play it back."

As the boss said, he rubbed the bead, and a picture was projected into the air. It was the scene of Meng Chen pinching Xue Lang's waist and Xue Lang staring back in shock with his round eyes.

Xue Lang: "...Why did you take this in!?"

"Because it's very vivid, it's much more interesting than Xianyou when you froze." The boss said, "The next one is also good."

The next one is a group photo of the two looking directly at the beads.Meng Chen's eyes were clear, and his smile was light. Although Xue Lang's smile was a little unnatural, it was already much better, but there was a strong sense of foolishness in his handsome face, which made people laugh uncontrollably.

Meng Chen couldn't help softening his gaze as he looked at the silly boy smiling in the image.

Because the photo beads are very precious, the boss only gave them a small bead. After coming out of the photo studio, Xue Lang touched the bead and handed it to Meng Chen: "You can keep it."

Meng Chen: "Let it go."

"Don't, I was careless, such a small thing, you might lose it someday." Xue Lang said, "You keep it."

Meng Chen hesitated for a moment, but reached out to take it and put it away.

Xue Lang picked up the mask and tried to put it on again, Meng Chen said softly: "Isn't it hot? Don't wear it."

The weather is warm and the streets are bustling with people, it is really boring to put on a mask.Xue Lang froze, then put down his mask obediently, and gently wiped the sweat on the tip of his nose.

The two wandered around the city for more than half a day, until the sun went down, and then went to the "Xianlai Inn" to prepare for accommodation.

Taixuanzong gave his disciples three days off, which was ample time. Many disciples would choose to live in Xianle City for two days, and then go back after having fun.The business of this Xianlai inn is also booming. When Meng Chen and Xue Lang went to book a room, they were told that there was only one vacant room left.

"Two fairy friends, I'm really sorry." The waiter said, "In the past two days, there have been a lot of celestial guests visiting Xianle City, and several inns in the city are fully occupied, basically two or three people live in one room. Since the two know each other, why not share the same room."

Xue Lang didn't dare to speak, and waited attentively for Meng Chen to make a decision.Meng Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's go to this room."

The two got their room cards and went up to the third floor of the inn.

The room is big, the bed is clean and spacious, more than enough to sleep two people.It stands to reason that this is not the first time for the two to sleep together, and there was nothing to hesitate at first, but now that Meng Chen saw that bed, two words began to whirl in his mind for no reason——

"The bridal chamber".

His temples began to ache again.

"I don't sleep at night, I want to meditate and practice." Xue Lang said, walked to a bench by the window, closed his eyes and fell into samadhi.

Meng Chen glanced at him, didn't say anything, cleaned up briefly by himself, put on his clothes and slept on the couch.

It's just that the eyes are closed, but the thinking is more clear, and there is no sleepiness at all.

Although I have been pretending that nothing happened, some things have indeed happened.

In that "Peach Blossom Spring", although Meng Chen also said some absurd words, they were forced to say in order to finish the "script" earlier and leave the illusion.

But what Xue Lang did, how to explain it?

Even if there are scripts and role settings, the will of the immigrant is free and will not be subject to any constraints.And Xue Lang tied him up the mountain with his free will, and then said those words...

Meng Chen is not stupid, it is impossible not to understand what this means.

In fact, he had already discovered that Xue Lang was prone to blush and shy when facing him, but he always thought that it was because of the sincerity and simplicity of the young man that he would have such a reaction, but he did not expect that the other party...had such thoughts .

Thinking of this, Meng Chen sighed quietly again.

Xue Lang was the most important and cherished person in his life, it would be impossible for him to alienate him because of this incident.

But even if they don't avoid suspicion, can they really get along with each other without any grievances like before?

Of course, he could pretend to be confused with his understanding, like today during the day, pretending that nothing happened, and Xue Lang would probably not take the initiative to bring up this matter.But wouldn't it be too unfair to Xue Lang if he did this?

It was okay when I didn't know it before, but now I know what he's thinking, and pretend to be ignorant and continue to be close brothers and sisters with him. Meng Chen can't do this kind of thing.

But if you ask him to respond...how can he respond?

What's more, the future is uncertain and dangers are everywhere, and it is not the time to think about these things at all.

The more Meng Chen thought about it, the more he had a headache, his mind was in a mess, he simply forcibly cut off his thoughts, took a deep breath and fell asleep.

Behind him, Xue Lang who was meditating quietly opened his eyes, staring at the white figure with his back facing him on the bed for a long time, his eyes full of thoughts, and after a long time, he closed his eyes again.

-

Meng Chen was awakened by a loud noise.

Xue Lang also jumped off the stool immediately, opened the window and looked out intently, then turned his head and said quickly: "The voice came from the center of the city."

The two immediately went downstairs and left the inn. It was not dawn at this time, and the sky was dark. Many people heard the loud noise and rushed to the street, wondering, "What's the matter? What's the sound?"

Just as they were talking, there was another loud noise from the center of the city. At the same time, the ground shook faintly, and a powerful hurricane swept in. Everyone's complexion changed, and they hurriedly formed defensive barriers. They were too slow to defend, and were affected by the hurricane. He spit out a mouthful of blood immediately and passed out.

Everyone felt the terrifying energy contained in the hurricane——

It is the power of Mahayana!

"Honorable Mahayana Realm? Who is it!?"

"There is only one Mahayana venerable in Xianle City, and that is the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Could it be that something happened to City Lord Li?"

Just as he was guessing, he saw a few people rushing towards Tianbian Yujian. They seemed to be seriously injured, but they were exhausted and fell off the flying sword all of a sudden.Everyone rushed to catch them, looking at their clothes, they seemed to be servants of the city lord's mansion.

"Hurry... run!" a servant said while coughing up blood, "City Master Li is crazy!"

crazy! ?

Everyone was shocked. Li Chen was one of the few Mahayana realm venerables in the cultivation world. ?

The attendant recalled the scene not long ago, and his expression was still terrified: "Madam Li had an affair with the young master of Fengyue Pavilion, and was captured by the city lord. into the ruins, if we hadn't run fast, we would have died in it!"

Everyone was shocked by the huge amount of information and couldn't recover:

"Madame Li and the young master of Fengyue Pavilion...have an affair!? Aren't she and City Master Li a famous fairy couple in the cultivation world? How could they do such a thing!?"

"Exactly! I heard that the Xianle City was built especially for her by City Lord Li. A man loves her so much, yet she betrayed City Lord Li. If you want me to say, she deserves to die!"

When everyone was filled with righteous indignation, only a female voice was heard crying: "It's not like this..."

Meng Chen heard the sound and looked, and saw that the speaker was the girl in yellow skirt who had seen twice during the day.She was also obviously injured, her face was pale, but her eyes were swollen from crying, and she said sadly: "Madam is not that kind of person! When I was in Yuehua Palace, I followed Madam to watch and witnessed the relationship between Madam and City Lord Li. Yue, became a Taoist couple. After marriage, the two loved each other very much, until one day, City Lord Li said that he had obtained some 'secret'..."

Meng Chen's pupils shrank suddenly!

"He said that Tianji told him that Mrs. Li would betray him one day and leave him. At first, Mrs. Li only thought he was joking with his temper and didn't take it to heart. But after a long time, we all found that the owner of Li City had changed. "The girl in the yellow skirt said tremblingly, "He started to be suspicious all day long, and sent someone to watch his wife's whereabouts. The lady patiently explained to him that it was useless to swear that she would never do anything wrong to him. The city lord became more irritable afterward. The paranoia even worsened and restricted Madam's actions, preventing her from leaving the city lord's mansion, and even preventing her from seeing any strangers other than our cronies...Three years have passed like this."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Madam was imprisoned for three years, and her spirit began to become abnormal. Every day, she was crying or screaming madly. I often heard her say in her dreams, 'Li Chen, I hate you. I hate you all my life. The person I hate the most is you'..."

"So, madam didn't betray the city lord." The girl in yellow skirt cried bitterly, "She is using this method to take revenge on the city lord, and also to seek relief for herself..."

Just when everyone was immersed in the girl's words and couldn't regain their senses, they heard another loud noise, this time the sound was closer, and even heard the sound of buildings collapsing and collapsing——

Obviously, the crazy City Lord Li has already rushed towards this side!

"Run!"

Someone immediately shouted, Yu Jian fled quickly outside Xianle City.If the power of the Mahayana realm gets out of control, it will be called a disaster. The sum of all the people present may not be enough to kill Li Chen alone!

The city of Xianle turned into a hell in an instant, and countless people grabbed their swords and scrambled to escape.Xue Lang held Meng Chen's hand tightly in the crowd, and the two of them didn't stop flying swords together with the crowd until they flew far outside Xianle City, stopped on the clouds and turned their heads.

Floating in the sky and looking down, the scene of Xianle City is even more shocking--exquisite and luxurious palaces, attics, and all kinds of leisure and entertainment venues, more than half of which have turned into charred ruins, and a person can be seen faintly, with disheveled hair , while wailing loudly, he slapped palm after palm frantically, razing all the surrounding houses to the ground.

Everyone felt sympathetic, and couldn't help saying: "That's Li Chen..."

That is Li Chen, the Mahayana venerable who has been in the cultivation world for more than 400 years and is well-known all over the world.

Yesterday, countless people were still envious of his realm, his wealth, and his deep love with his wife.

But today, he killed his wife with his own hands, ruined Xianle City, which was built with countless treasures, efforts and time, and became a lunatic.

Are things really so unpredictable?

While countless people were filled with emotion for Li Chen's experience, Meng Chen's heart was cold, and he couldn't restrain himself from having a terrible thought.

Li Chen got a glimpse of the secret, saying that Qu Ying would betray him, and in the end he was betrayed, lost his mind and killed his wife himself.

Zhong Lijing also got a secret, saying that Meng Chen would destroy his ruthless Tao, which made Zhong Lijing make up his mind in his previous life to kill disciples to prove the Tao.

It seems that there is a cause and an effect, and the destiny seems to be inviolable.

But what about looking at it the other way around?

If Li Chen had never obtained the heavenly secret from the beginning, he would not have doubted Qu Ying, and Qu Ying would not have revenged her husband with betrayal, and the two of them might still be the fairy couple that everyone envied;

If Zhong Lijing hadn't obtained the heaven's secret, he wouldn't have rescued him, Meng Chen, on that snowy night. He might have been frozen to death that night, or there might have been other opportunities, but in the end he would never have anything to do with Zhong Lijing again— ——Zhong Lijing will not have him as an apprentice, and his ruthless Taoist heart will not be shaken. He will be the Zhongli Immortal Venerable who has no desires and desires all his life.

However, they all got the "secret", and then, step by step, they came to their destined ending.

Meng Chen looked at Li Chen who was kneeling and roaring towards the sky in Xianle City, raised his head with a frown, and looked deeply at the mysterious and boundless sky.

This so-called secret...

What exactly is it?

-

Xianle City was destroyed, a generation of venerables fell, and the hearts of everyone who witnessed everything were extremely heavy. Naturally, they couldn't stay here any longer, and they left with swords.

The disciples of Taixuanzong who had been on vacation for three days also had to return to the sect early.

Meng Chen and Xue Lang returned to Tianji Peak. Because Meng Chen had something on his mind, he was immersed in his own thoughts all the way. It was only when they parted that he realized that there was still one unresolved matter.

"Xue Lang." He collected himself and said to the young man, "Wait a little longer."

Xue Lang looked at him, blinked, and looked a little confused.

Meng Chen didn't explain much, waved his hand, turned and entered Qixueju.

The words you said through the illusion, the cautious expectation hidden in your eyes, wait a little longer.

When all the dust settles...

I will tell you the answer.

The author has something to say: Meng Meng [sensible face]: Now is not the time to fall in love.

Xue Lang: QAQ [Wronged Baba, pitiful dog eyes]

Meng Meng: ...

My heart is soft ≥﹏≤
