Chapter 253: It’s not easy to make up a perfect lie.
Yuan Zhan had some memories of this man. He had seen him in the rocky beach market fair and said two words.
"Come in and talk." Yuan Zhan motioned the other party to sit at the table. He and Yan Mo passed by first.
When Yan Mo first met the Salt Mountain Tribesmen, he wanted to get rid of the emotions that occupied Hei Jiao's body. He didn't like to owe people. If the Salt Mountain people didn't come to him, and he would find an opportunity to return it. Now Hei Jiao's family came to him. It's not too surprising. After all, his face hasn't changed much. The rest of the Salt Mountain Tribesmen dare not say about knowing him, but Hei Jiao's relatives are more than 50% likely to recognize him long as they are alive.
But he hasn't figured out how to them.
Well, let's see what the other party wants first. As long as it's not excessive, he thinks he shouldn't refuse the other party's request.
Hei Qi is not used to this way of speaking. He prefers to stand.
Yuan Zhan picks up the water jug on the table and pours a bowl of water to his Priest. He asks Hei Qi casually, "What are you going to exchange?"
Da-He also remembered the man, but like Yuan Zhan, he was not impressed.
But the Salt Mountain Tribesmen... Da-He looked at Yan Mo. Although Yuan Zhan said that the Salt Mountain Tribesmen slave had died, everyone knew that Yan Mo was Yan Mo.
And this is a mystery to them. MoDa-Ren's ability is seen to anyone's eye. In Jiu Yuan everyone thinks he is a real priest who is really favored by the ancestors. But if Mo Da-Ren is really The Salt Mountain Tribesman, how can the salt Mountain people lose the fight?
More peculiar is that Mo Da-Ren was abandoned by the Salt Mountain Tribesmen and eventually picked up by Yuan Zhan as a slave!
Let's not say how lucky Da-Zhan is. Many people in Jiu Yuan wondered if Da-Zhan's blood was so thick that the God of the Earth had a special preference for him, so that he could meet Mo Da-Ren.
In other words, did the Salt Mountain Tribesmen suddenly recognize Mo Da-Ren today, or did they have other purposes? In short, Da-He doesn't believe that the other party is actually here to do business.
They wouldn't want to take him back, do they? Da-He suddenly had an inexplicable sense of crisis, which made him feel uncomfortable with Hei Qi.
Hei Qi did not dare to get too close to the table. He stood not far from it. He heard the words and changed his mouth temporarily. "Do you need salt?"
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo haven't responded yet. Da-He and Ding Fei first skimmed their mouths.
Yuan Zhan was trying to refuse, but Yan Mo said, "Let me see your salt first."
"You, wait a minute." Hei Qi turned and ran out of the house. He didn't bring any salt at all.
Yuan Zhan looked at Yan Mo and whispered in his ear, "Do you know him?"
Yan Mo knocked on the table and answered, "He probably recognized who I am."
Yuan Zhan frowned. He didn't want his Priest to have much contact with the Salt Mountain Tribesmen. MoDa-Ren was abandoned by his people. He was glad to see that the Salt Mountain Tribesmen not get too close.
But now the Salt Mountain Tribesmen came to the door. Did they see that Mo had become so powerful that they wanted to recognize him and take him back?
Would Mo forgive them if they pleaded with Mo and even asked Mo's family to join them?
No way! Never let them take Mo away!
Mo is his, Jiu Yuan's, not to mention the Salt Mountain Tribesmen, if the ancestor god came to rob him, and he will dare to fight first.
"Are you going to help them?" Yuan Zhan was anxious enough to kill the Salt Mountain Tribesmen, but his face did not show it. This is different from the way he helped Yuan Ji people. He wanted to bring yuan Ji's people into The Jiu Yuan. Would the Salt Mountain Tribesmen want to take Mo away? What will Mo do?
Before Yan Mo nodded, Yuan Zhan immediately added, "You are the Priest of Jiu Yuan now."
Yan Mo eyebrows frowned at him, what do you mean?
Yuan Zhan remembers what the other party said he wanted to leave Jiu Yuan. He even wondered if Yan Mo would leave the Jiu Yuan and run to be the Priest of the Salt Mountain Tribesmen. The Salt Mountain Tribesmen might be in a bad situation now, but if Mo was able to take them all away and find new salt fields. Maybe that's what he said the seaside. With Yan Mo help, the Salt Mountain Tribesmen will soon become strong and mighty, and they can trade fine salt, cloth, tools and other people for slaves just like the Jiu Yuan.
Think of it this way, The Jiu Yuan and The Salt Mountain Tribesmen do not have much advantage over each other, but that changes when The Salt Mountain Tribesmen are still the blood relatives of Mo!
"What are you worried about?" Yan Mo saw the man's uneasiness and unconsciously reached out and touched him.
Yuan Zhan turned his palm and grabbed his hand. "Do you still want to leave Jiu Yuan now?"
Yan Mo understands that he dares to think that the Salt Mountain Tribesmen come, he will follow the Salt Mountain Tribesmen. And he really didn't think that this guy was worried about it all the time.
Should he give each other a reassuring pill? For example...
"Are you so reluctant to part with me? Rest assured, even if I want to leave Jiu Yuan I will take you with me. You are the best partner for killing and catching prey and traveling home. With you, I can save myself a lot of trouble. First of all, I don't need to set up a tent outside. Besides, 7th Rank is not so easy to find.”
"You only look at my abilities? If I wasn't a 7th Rank blood warrior who could control the earth, you wouldn't want to be with me?" Yuan Zhan's eyes shone with a fierce light.
Yan Mo face turned with annoyance, and he reached out, grabbed the young man's cheek and pulled it on both sides. "How many blood ability warriors do I need? Do you think 7th rank warrior is easy to produce? Believe it or not, I'll find the Godblood Stone in whose belly, and do you think I will get a quick high-ranking warrior out of it?”
Da-da's eyes were bright and Ding Fei hid from him. Da-da pushed him several times, got annoyed, and jumped in fray with Ding Fei.
Da-He kicked one of them in the butt to get them out of the fight When Yuan Zhan was there, he was usually not very close to Priest Da-Ren.
Yan Mo watched the two men twisting together like twisted twists. Their hands were relaxed and happy.
Yuan Zhan, no matter how hard he fought there, grabbed a man's chin and screwed him back. He was not happy and said, "Look at this side."
Yan Mo looked at him, smiled at him, and laughed at what he had just said as if it were a love story.
Yuan Zhan licked his lower lip and suddenly stretched out his head and took a bite on the teenager's mouth.
"Ah-!" Da-da screamed and pressed Ding Fei with excitement.
Ding Fei felt wrong, kicked him away and rushed to Da-He to complain to him. In fact, he wanted to complain to Priest Da-Ren, but he dared not go now.
Da-da was not suppressed. He got up and rushed to Yan Mo. He stretched out his head and put his mouth on his face. Yuan Zhan grabbed him by the neck and threw him outside the door.
Outside, Hei Qi came with their best salt and almost collided with Da-da.
Yuan Zhan reached out and said, "Wait first."
Hei Qi looked to the right, wondering if the other person was referring to himself or the big man next to him, but Da-da stood at the door and did not move. Hei Qi hesitated and did not enter.
Inside, Yuan Zhan earnestly expressed his opinion to his Priest Da-Ren: "Don't go with them, don't be the Priest of The Salt Mountain Tribesmen, even if they ask you to. They can be admitted to Jiu Yuan, but they must be tested like every Jiu Yuan."
Am I crazy to go with the Salt Mountain Tribesmen?! Yan Mo resisted the desire to roll his eyes and lowered his voice even further. "Do you know who the young man at the door is?"
"Who?"
"My brother! Brother! "
Yuan Zhan, "... Your brother won't have to face the test. I can help him build a solid and useful stone house myself. Also, look at his thin, I'll ask Ding Fei to give him meat tomorrow."
"Pooh!" Yan Mo laughed. “I don't want to recognize him for the time being even without your special care.
"That's good!" Yuan Zhan cheered. He felt that it’s best if his Priest has no family, cold-blooded selfishness or anything. Originally, their family concept in this era is not strong, their brothers can get along well, or they can completely have do nothing with each other. Besides, Mo was abandoned by his family and Tribesmen, and it's normal not to want to recognize them now.
"Not because they abandoned me." Yan Mo knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at his expression, "Hei Qi and Hei... He is my second brother and his third brothers. My name was Hei Jiao when I was in The Salt Mountain Tribesmen.”
Yan Mo saw that Yuan Zhan had no special changes in his look. Then he continued: "they didn't want to give up on me at the time, but in order not to let the beast follow the smell of blood, and to keep up with Tribesmen, all the people with more serious injuries were abandoned. This was the order of the Chief and The Priest. They could not dare to refuse to listen to it. Say that I was too badly hurt at that time. If it hadn't been for the compassion of my ancestors, I would not have survived until I was picked up by you.”
"Well, you were picked up by me."
"Don't repeat this sentence with emphasis!" Yan Mo stared and tapped his finger on the table again. "There's another thing I need to tell you."
In his mind, the Salt Mountain Tribesmen and Hei Jiao's family are all easy to solve. If he does not admit it voluntarily, who dares to point to his nose and say that he is Hei Jiao, the teenager of the Salt Mountain Tribesmen? Now this world is not like in his previous world. DNA can’t be used to prove his kinship with Hei Qi.
The problem is Yuan Zhan!
At present, only Yuan Zhan and Meng are known to be the Salt Mountain Tribesmen. Meng, for the time being, must not be confused by Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan, Cao Ting and others thought he was the Priest disciple of The Salt Mountain Tribesmen because of the initial misunderstanding that he could cure diseases and injuries and know herbs. He also used this identity, and later, when he explained to Yuan Zhan and Mag Er the source of his ability, he borrowed this identity.
And this leaves a problem, that is, if the Salt Mountain People's Priest is not dead, they meet each other again, and the two sides confront each other, his lie about the identity of the Priest disciple can easily be broken.
"What's the matter? You say." Yuan Zhan was not in such a good mood.
Even Da-da could see that, rubbing it up the corner and slipped into the room again, but this time he was afraid to approach Yan Mo again.
Hei Qi stood awkwardly outside, wondering whether to go in or wait.
Yan Mo looked out of the room and turned back. "I'm not really a disciple of The Salt Mountain People's Priest."
"Oh."
Oh That's it. Yan Mo pinches Yuan Zhan's thigh. "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
"What's so strange about it?" Yuan Zhan pinched his hand. He was afraid he couldn't help it. "If you didn't admit you were the Priest disciple, how would you explain your ability to see and heal? You couldn't tell us from the beginning that all your knowledge and abilities come from your ancestors.”
Yan Mo pulled out his hand and clapped, "You're right! That's why!" I don't have to make up a lie by myself.
"Another point is that I received the ancestors' personal inheritance from my childhood, and I had a lot of stuff in my brain every day. So, until the day when I came in the body, I was all muddled. Every day before that, I only knew what to eat, drink and play like a fool. For Hei Qi, I know they are my family, and they were very kind to me, but for so many years I like to see they are separately, so it is difficult for me to have feelings for them.”
It's best to have no feelings for them! You just have to have feelings for me and our children. Yuan Zhan seems to inadvertently put forward a sentence: "Have you ever had a child?"
Yan Mo wants to rub his forehead. It's really a tiring job to make up lies. There are many flaws in Yan Mo lies. Yuan Zhan may not be able to see them. But this guy is a cunning man. He won't say anything when he sees them. He just reminded him occasionally, just like what he is doing now.
"You heard what I said? Say I'm Hei Jiao and I'm not Hei Jiao? You think I and that invaded the old man..."
"I didn't think of anything!" Yuan Zhan stopped short of saying, "You are you, and I just need to know you are Yan Mo."
Yan Mo had to admit that he was a little touched. "You can rest assured that I am not quite the same as the fake Qiu Shi."
One is a legal occupier, the other is illegal occupier.
"Maybe in order to make me a better Priest, the ancestor God let me experience life again from birth to death in his sleep. It's not the kind of dream that one wakes up and forgets. It's the kind of dream that makes me feel like I'm really alive again." Yan Mo trusts Yuan Zhan, but does not want to leave any hidden danger to himself. Maybe someday he will tell the secrets of transmigrating, the guide and God's punishment, but it will be a long time later, even if there is such future.
Yuan Zhan was surprised that he had heard of such a thing for the first time.
"In that dream, through God's gift, I got a child, I call him Du-du, and he was a very lovely, very kind, very understanding little thing." The sadness and longing onYan Mo's face flashed by.
But Yuan Zhan, who had been looking at him all the time, did not miss it. He said, "And the ancestor god really gave you that child now, and gave you back to two at once!"
"... Yes, thanks to the ancestors.”
Yuan Zhan was curious. "How many years did you live in that dream?"
"Thirty-nine years."
If his previous world if they heard that one died at this age, they would be sorry for him. They thought he died too early, but people at this time had a totally different understanding of life. Yuan Zhan also said, "It's a long time. Many people can't live past 30 years.” No wonder you don't talk and act like a teenager.
Yan Mo can finally say what he has been trying to say, "I'm much older and older than you. You will have to respect me later. Don't talk about sleeping with me all day long."
"I certainly don't dislike you being older than me." Yuan Zhan grinned like a jerk.
"Get out of here!"
After all, Yan Mo has compiled all his life and history. Without was worried, he can deal with the problems that Hei Jiao's family may bring.
Now whether or not the other party recognizes him and wants to recognize him, he will not be affected, because the initiative is fully in his hands.
