Chapter 260 Why?

At that time, Meng Zhi was not born yet.

I heard all of these stories from the old patriarch.

The old patriarch said that the Meng family was just rising to prominence at that time.

One ordinary morning, there was a knock on the door.

The gold-guarding beast carried a bag of berries and politely raised its paw to knock on the door of the Meng family.

As soon as the old patriarch opened the door, he saw a huge creature walking upright on two legs.

Although the Golden Guardian Beast looks cute, it can even kill a monk with one claw.

The old patriarch shuddered with fear.

However, the gold-guarding beast simply put the berries down and squeezed its fat and powerful body through the door.

Without saying a word, he lay down in the yard.

They all came to apply for jobs and brought gifts.

What else could the old patriarch do? Of course he would accept it and give him the responsibility of guarding the vault.

Not to mention that this thing is quite easy to raise. It eats berries and leaves, absorbs some gold, silver and spirit stones, and spends most of its time sleeping.

It is completely not as aggressive as other gold-eating beasts.

Up to this point, the Golden Beast has been guarding the vault steadily for ten years.

Now that the contract is broken, the golden beast is free.

The tail of the Golden Guardian Beast gently brushed across the back of Meng Zhi's hand, and the touch of fur was like comfort.

"Walk."

Meng Zhi spoke.

The golden beast looked back at Meng Zhi for the last time.

The huge figure disappeared in an instant.

When the door of the vault was knocked open, Meng Zhi raised his sword and slashed through the air.

The flames rose instantly.

The treasury was buried in the flames.

"madman!"

"Those are natural treasures!"

A group of people rushed in and frantically poured water to put out the fire.

But the fire of the sword of destruction cannot be extinguished easily.

Without Meng Zhi's control, the fire would continue to burn.

As for the rest of the places, they were deserted long before the Meng family got into trouble.

All the houses that once held the aura of the Meng family were now on fire.

Until everything is burned to ashes.

The blazing flames were so hot that people dared not get close to them.

In a moment, the fire was extinguished.

Meng Zhi no longer has a home in Nanmu Country.

Shui Yujun appeared behind him, staring at the thin figure.

He opened his mouth, "Sorry, I'm late again."

He didn't make it in time when Meng Zhi's parents were killed.

Now that Senior Brother Meng Zhi is dead, he didn't catch up.

He thought that Ye Xingzhou had jade beads on him that could temporarily block it.

I didn't expect that result.

"I don't blame you."

Meng Zhi calmly walked out.

"I've been tripped." Shui Yujun moved his fingertips, "The Shuihuo Clan's tracks have been exposed, and a group of cultivators have come to attack us."

If he had left at that time, his people would have perished.

And if he doesn't leave, he will break his promise again.

It's hard to choose between the two.

But, as the King of Water Delusion.

He had to make a choice.

After Meng Zhi's parents died, he remained silent and did not explain why he was late.

Because he knew that even if he explained it, Meng Zhi would not listen.

Now, he took the initiative to explain.

Meng Zhi said, don't blame him.

Shui Yujun had tried his best to protect her, but tragedy still happened and he had no other choice.

"You...my condolences..."

When the words came to his lips, Shui Yujun only uttered these few words.

Meng Zhi hummed, "I'm going back to the sect."

Something is so wrong.

Meng Zhi's personality has completely changed. He is so calm that he doesn't seem like a normal person.

Shui Yujun wanted to say something but stopped himself and could only stand there.

Meng Zhi paused slightly, glanced at him lightly, and then he spoke.

"I understand your difficulties."

After saying this, Meng Zhi jumped onto the flying boat.

Shui Yujun closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.

Meng Zhi's behavior is really heartbreaking.

He is not a good uncle.

Meng Zhi sat alone on the deck. As the flying boat set off, Shui Yujun's figure became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

The flying boat is still there, but the old people are missing.

In this world, everyone has difficulties and nothing can be perfect.

On the journey back to the clan, the wind was gentle and the clouds were clear, but the oppressive atmosphere could not be swept away.

There are maple forests all over the mountain and you can climb the ladder to heaven.

Xiang Xiuyuan followed Meng Zhi silently all the way to the outer gate building.

Magnolia trees stand tall and the swings sway gently.

The sound of Ren Wangzhu playing with the big wolf came from the yard.

The big wolf smelled the scent, picked up the bone, and wagged its tail wildly to welcome the returning person.

people!

You're back, man!

I miss people so much when there is no one around!

"Big Wolf, where are you going?"

Ren Wangzhu leaned over to take a look, and when he saw the two of them, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You're back!"

"Brother, brother, Big Wolf won't fall into the well even if he plays with me now!"

Ren Wangzhu's last tone was cheerful, but he looked around but couldn't find Ye Xingzhou.

"Senior Brother Xiang, hasn't my senior brother come back yet?" Ren Wangzhu stopped and asked Xiang Xiuyuan.

Xiang Xiuyuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After hesitating for a while, he made up a lame excuse.

"Junior Brother Ye...will be back...after a while..."

Ren Wangzhu looked at the two of them, who looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight.

Even if one is slow-witted, one can tell from the current situation that an accident has occurred.

A bad feeling arose.

Ren Wangzhu turned his head to look at Meng Zhi, and the joy in his round puppy eyes still remained.

"Meng Zhi, where is Senior Brother?"

Meng Zhi's eyes were as calm as dead water.

He opened his mouth to answer.

"Dead."

Even Xiang Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment by such a straightforward answer.

Ren Wangzhu's mind was stuck, his blood was boiling, and his hands and feet were numb.

He stood firm, forcing a smile on his face.

"Meng Zhi, I don't want to joke with you now."

Meng Zhi just looked at him silently.

Ren Wangzhu refused to give up and spoke again in a trembling voice, "Brother Xiang, answer me."

Xiang Xiuyuan lowered his eyelids.

Silent affirmation.

The joy in his eyes and the silly smile on his face gradually faded.

At this moment, Ren Wangzhu's sky collapsed.

"How could it be? How could it be?"

Ren Wangzhu took a few steps back in embarrassment.

"He was fine when he left, but you guys killed him right away. I don't like this prank at all!"

"Hurry up and let Brother come out!"

Ren Wangzhu's last words were filled with tears.

Xiang Xiuyuan wanted to go forward to comfort him, but Ren Wangzhu suddenly opened his eyes tightly.

In the past few days, the disciples in the sect all looked at him with strange expressions.

With compassion, with pity.

Ren Wangzhu pinched his numb hands, trying to stay awake.

"When did it happen?"

Xiang Xiuyuan replied softly, "Four days ago."

"Four days!"

Ren Wangzhu's voice broke instantly.

"You kept it a secret from me for four whole days!"

He stepped back in disbelief.

"Why! Why did you hide this from me?!"

"I didn't even get to see my senior brother for the last time!"

Tears burst like a dam, and I couldn't stop them even if I wiped them away with my sleeves.

"You, you, everyone thinks I'm stupid, everyone thinks I'm foolish! No one wants to tell me!"

“Why?”

His voice was almost a roar.

Meng Zhi stood under the eaves with his hands hanging down and his head lowered.

Big Wolf tried to nudge Ren Wangzhu's feet to calm him down, but was ignored.

Xiang Xiuyuan took a half step forward, "Junior Brother Ren, some things are not what you think..."

"I won't listen! I don't want to hear anything at all!"

Ren Wangzhu shook his head and wiped away his tears.

"Meng Zhi, give my brother back to me!"

His fists were clenched tightly and his voice was trembling.

Meng Zhi stood there silently.

Ren Wangzhu raised his hands, cried, and used all his strength to push the man down viciously.

"It was because you took my brother away to the Meng family that he got into trouble!"

"Meng Zhi, I will hate you forever!"
