Chapter 32 - Chapter 32 The Real Treasure

After Mu Dishi knew that Ma Jingguo was safe, he returned to Yueguang Sect. He looked around and found that the setting inside Yueguang sect was similar to the Mu treasure cave that Mu Jian Long took him to visit when he was a teenager.

Mu Dishi remembers that many years ago, Mu Jiao Long took him to a small grassy hill to the north. Mu Jiao Long told him that he must pay close attention to Mu Jiao Long because on this hill, there are many traps along the way, and one wrong move or wrong footstep can kill him.

Before Mu Dishi and Mu Jiao Long continue on the hill trail, Mu Jiao Long handed an old sheepskin map to Mu Dishi.

Mu Dishi asked, "Long da ye, what is this?"

Mu Jiao Long, "This is the map to enter Mu treasure cave."

Mu Dishi, "Long da ye, so that's why you just want us here?"

Mu Jiao Long nodded and he said, "Dishi, don't believe everything you hear. The treasure map in your hand does not have what people want. I only brought you here because I want to be buried here after I die."

Mu Dishi asked, "Why here?"

Mu Jiao Long, "Once we get inside, you will understand."

When Mu Jiao Long and Mu Dishi stopped in front of the Mu Treasure Cave. Standing in front of the cave entrance, there is a huge dragon statue with a wide-open mouth. Mu Jiao Long pulls the jade hairpin out from his tied hair, inserted it into the dragon's mouth, and then pushes the jade hair in. The door opened slowly.

Mu Jiao Long then said, "Dishi, watch where my feet land."

Mu Jiao Long used his lightness and agility skills. He flew over the path, and Mu Dishi noticed that Mu Jiao Long's feet were only on the white marble pavement. Mu Dishi quickly followed Mu Jiao Long. Mu Dishi realized that there are many hidden traps in this treasure cave. He was curious, but he didn't ask Mu Jiao Long about the pavement.

Mu Jiao Long then then lit a candle on the wall. He pulled one of the candlesticks that was the wall and the wall slide down. Mu Dishi and Mu Jiao Long walked into a small room, lying in front of them was a small dark corridor. Mu Jiao Long pick up a torch from the basket. Mu Dishi looked at the basket, only one torch remained.

Mu Dishi, "Long da ye, should we bring more torches next time we come back?"

Mu Jiao Long, "No, that last torch is for you to use when transporting my dead body here."

Mu Jiao Long lit the torch and walked along the dark corridor, Mu Dishi quickly followed him. The two men walked into the underground stairs. When the two people reached the last step, standing in front of them was a door.

Mu Jiao Long knocked three times on the right knocker, once on the left knocker, and once on the right knocker. Then he pushed open the left door panel. Mu Dishi and Mu Jiao Long walked in.

There is a man lying on an ice bed in the room. This man seems to be very young in his early twenties. The characteristics of this man are similar to Wang Biming.

Mu Dishi asked, "Long da ye, who is this man?"

Mu Jiao Long, "He is Biming's brother Wang Changming." He walked to the bed and sat next to Wang Changming. Mu Jiao Long held Wang Changming's right hand. "He is the real treasure in this treasure cave." He stroked the right side of Wang Changming's face.

Mu Dishi, "Long da ye, is he still alive?"

Mu Jiao Long, "No, he died a long time ago. I want to protect his body. The cold of this mountain is the right temperature. He did not decay because I applied the corpse preserve powder that was special made by Chen Fa throughout his body. My guilt is the real reason why I moved Mu's house from the capital to here. Therefore, I can be closer to him."

Mu Dishi, "So, is there no treasure here?"

Mu Jiao Long replied, "There is only death here."

Mu Dishi, "Long da ye, you like him very much. How did he die?"

Mu Jiao Long said, "He died because of me. I forced him to his death. Changming and I have always been good friend. He came to the capital to study medicine, and he stayed at our home. As the years go by, we become closer and closer, and the intimate relationship between us also grew." He looked at Mu Dishi. "From the beginning, it was a forbidden love, but neither I nor he could stop those feelings. He was forced to get married, and I was also forced. My skills are low and in order to save him from imprisonment, I left him, wandered around the land alone, and started practicing martial arts. When I went to save him, I was too late. He died of a broken heart in my arms. His last wish is for me to take care of Biming."

Mu Dishi looked at the young man lying on the bed. He looked more like a sleeping man than a dead man.

Mu Jiao Long stood up and walked back to Mu Dishi. Mu Jiao Long patted on Mu Dishi's left shoulder. Mu Jiao Long then said, "Dishi, if one day you find someone you really love, then you will understand why Changming chose to die instead of betraying me."

Mu Dishi said coldly, "I will never die for love."

Mu Jiao Long laughed, "It's because you have not found that someone yet. I will ask you again in ten years. Your answer may be different." He sighed, and looked at Mu Dishi. "Dishi, if you know you can't love the person back, then it is better to make it clear with the person from the very beginning. The longer you let the situation linger, the more difficult to terminate the relationship when the time come."

Mu Dishi, "That's why Biming is the only person surname Wang in the entire Mu Village?"

Mu Jiao Long, "I can't refuse Changming's last request."

Mu Dishi and Mu Jiao Long walked out of the room and started walking up the stairs.

Mu Jiao Long said, "Dishi, you and I are going to visit Tong Village in the south next month."

Mu Dishi asked, "Do we have family down there?"

Mu Jiao Long replied, "No."

Mu Dishi, "If we have no family there, why we are going there?"

Mu Jiao Long, "You will know when we get there."

When they climbed to the top of the stairs, Mu Jiao Long grabbed Mu Dishi's hand. "This way," he said, continuing walking along the corridor.

Mu Dishi asked, "Aren't we going back the same direction we came in?"

Mu Jiao Long shook his head and said, "No, if we go back where we came from, it will lead us to another path. I was curious at that time." He scoffed. "I was lost in here for four days."

Mu Dishi then asked, "Long da ye, why don't you open the whole door?"

Mu Jiao long laughed, "Let this be a surprise, for those who want to enter that room."

Mu Dishi sighed, he picked up Ma Jingguo's knife, and then heard footsteps coming towards him.

A male voice asked, "Do you see anything you like in here?"

Mu Dishi turned around, and he saw an elder man and a young man standing right in front of Mu Dishi. Mu Dishi looked at them coldly, without speaking.

The man asked, "You must be Mu Dishi?"

Mu Dishi did not answer.

The man continued, "I heard that your fighting skills are beyond Mu Jiao Long. Many martial artists are afraid of you. Mu Dishi, what are your plans in the martial arts world?"

Mu Dishi did not answer.

The man said, "Mu Dishi, if you leave Beijxing sect alone. We will also leave you alone too."

Mu Dishi said nothing, and he began to walk away from the two men.

The young man said, "Mu Dishi, I have heard of your beauty, but I don't believe it. I changed my mind when I saw you today. You are truly a beauty."

Mu Dishi continued to walk away from the two men, and he disappeared up the stairwell.

The younger man turned to the older man and asked, "Father, what should we do if Mu Dishi stands in our way?"

The man replied, "I hope he will not hinder us." He turned and looked at his son. "Wenyan, I forbid you to chase Mu Dishi. You can have any other man or woman besides him."
