Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling from the Sky

The night is as cool as water and the moonlight is hazy. Gu Jiuchen, dressed in black, sneaked into the capital quietly. He had only one purpose of this trip, and that was to find out the relationship between Mo Wuhen and the mysterious force.

The capital was still prosperous, but Gu Jiuchen smelled something unusual. He was hidden in the crowd, his sharp eyes scanning everything around him. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view - Mo Wuhen.

Mo Wuhen was wearing official uniform and walking in a hurry, as if he was rushing somewhere. Gu Jiuchen was suspicious and decided to follow secretly. He used Qinggong and moved between the eaves like a ghost, always keeping a distance from Mo Wuhen.

Mo Wuhen turned around and arrived at a secluded teahouse. Gu Jiuchen did not show up rashly, but chose to sit down in a nearby restaurant and observe the activities in the teahouse through the window.

Not long after, a man wearing a black cloak and a wide-brimmed hat, his face covered, walked into the teahouse and went straight to the second floor. Gu Jiuchen's heart moved. Could this person be the mysterious person who colluded with Mo Wuhen?

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to observe. A moment later, Mo Wuhen also walked into the teahouse and also went to the second floor. Gu Jiuchen could no longer sit still. He quietly jumped up to the roof of the teahouse, uncovered a tile, and looked down.

Mo Wuhen and the man in black were seen sitting opposite each other, with serious expressions on their faces, as if they were talking about something important. Due to the distance, Gu Jiuchen could not hear their conversation clearly, but he could feel that the atmosphere between the two was very tense.

Suddenly, the man in black took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mo Wuhen. Mo Wuhen took the letter and opened it, his face

The color suddenly became very ugly. He stood up suddenly, slapped the letter on the table, and glared at the man in black, as if questioning something.

The man in black said nothing, but looked at Mo Wuhen coldly. The two faced off for a moment, and Mo Wuhen finally sat down slumped and sighed, as if he had made some compromise.

Gu Jiuchen was filled with doubts. He could not imagine that Mo Wuhen, who had always been upright and loyal, would be involved with such a mysterious force. Could it be that Mo Wuhen really betrayed him and Ye Linglong?

Gu Jiuchen didn't want to believe this fact, but seeing it with his own eyes had to make him doubtful. He decided to continue investigating until he found out the truth.

However, Gu Jiuchen didn't know that all this was seen by another pair of eyes hiding in the dark...

Back at the inn, Ye Linglong had already prepared wine and food, waiting for Gu Jiuchen. Seeing him coming back, Ye Linglong showed a gentle smile on her face and asked with concern: "How are things going?"

Gu Jiuchen forced out a smile and said perfunctorily: "Everything went well."

Ye Linglong was thoughtful and noticed something strange about Gu Jiuchen. She put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and asked worriedly: "Jiuchen, are you worried about something? Tell me, okay?"

Gu Jiuchen was struggling in his heart. He wanted to tell Ye Linglong his doubts, but he was also worried that this was just a misunderstanding and Mo Wuhen would be wronged. In the end, he chose silence.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Gu Jiuchen avoided Ye Linglong's gaze and said calmly.

Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen's tired profile, feeling even more worried. In the past, Gu Jiuchen would always be in high spirits when he returned from completing his mission.

He had always shared his experiences with her, but today, he was unusually silent, and there seemed to be a cloud of sadness between his brows.

"Jiuchen, is there anything else we can't say between us?" Ye Linglong gently held Gu Jiuchen's hand and asked softly.

Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's hand with his backhand, feeling the temperature in her palm, and struggled even more in his heart. He loved Ye Linglong deeply and didn't want to hide anything from her, but Mo Wuhen was his best friend, and he didn't want to doubt him easily.

"Linglong, I..." Gu Jiuchen hesitated, and finally swallowed the words on his lips, "I'm just a little tired and want to take a rest first."

Seeing him like this, Ye Linglong didn't ask any more questions. She just stayed with him silently and made him a pot of hot tea. The fragrance of tea lingered, but it couldn't dispel the haze in Gu Jiuchen's heart.

At the same time, Mo Wuhen returned to the mansion, but his heart was not at peace. He knew that Gu Jiuchen was following him, and he also understood why he came. He deliberately let Gu Jiuchen see that letter in order to make him believe that he had surrendered to that mysterious force.

"Jiuchen, you and I have known each other for many years. Don't you still know what kind of person I am?" Mo Wuhen looked at the bright moon outside the window and murmured in a low voice, "In order to protect you, I can only do this. I hope you can Understand my difficulties.”

It turned out that Mo Wuhen had already noticed the existence of that mysterious force and had been secretly investigating it for many years. In order not to alert others, he chose to hide his identity and lurk in the dark, waiting for the time to come and wipe out this force.

He knew that with Gu Jiuchen's character, once he learned about this matter, he would intervene desperately. However, this force is too

If it is too powerful, if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of eternal disaster. In order to protect Gu Jiuchen's safety, Mo Wuhen had no choice but to conceal the truth, even letting him misunderstand him.

"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts, Jiuchen." Mo Wuhen looked out the window at the night, his eyes full of helplessness and worry.

However, what Mo Wuhen didn't know was that the illusion he carefully created made Gu Jiuchen's suspicion even deeper. He couldn't imagine that Mo Wuhen would choose to betray their years of friendship for that force.

"Mo Wuhen, why on earth did you do this?" Gu Jiuchen clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and confusion.

Gu Jiuchen stayed up all night. Bits and pieces of his acquaintance with Mo Wuhen kept flashing through his mind. Those scenes of fighting side by side and those heart-to-heart conversations were now cast in a shadow. He couldn't believe that the brother who had shared life and death with him would betray him and join that mysterious force.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Jiuchen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He went straight to Mo Wuhen's house, opened the door with his palm, and rushed in angrily.

"Mo Wuhen, come out!" Gu Jiuchen's voice echoed in the courtyard, with a hint of coldness and determination.

When Mo Wuhen heard Gu Jiuchen's voice, he had already expected it. He slowly walked out of the room and looked at the furious Gu Jiuchen in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Jiuchen, you're here." Mo Wuhen's tone was calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Stop pretending to be stupid, Mo Wuhen!" Gu Jiuchen roared, "I've already seen that letter, what else do you have to say?"

Mo Wu

A complicated look flashed in Hen's eyes, and then he regained his composure: "Jiuchen, do you believe the content in that letter?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Jiuchen asked, "I saw you in contact with those people with my own eyes, is it still false?"

"Jiuchen, seeing is not necessarily believing." Mo Wuhen sighed, "You and I have known each other for many years. Don't you still know what kind of person I am?"

"How do you expect me to trust you?" Gu Jiuchen pointed at Mo Wuhen's nose and roared, "Did you even disregard our years of brotherhood for the sake of that force?"

The quarrel between the two alarmed Ye Linglong. She hurried over and saw the two people at war with each other in front of her, and she immediately understood what had happened.

"Jiuchen, Wuhen, calm down first and talk to me if you have anything to say." Ye Linglong tried to persuade.

"Linglong, don't interfere!" Gu Jiuchen's anger was still there, with a hint of irritation in his tone.

Mo Wuhen also shook his head and said nothing. He knew that with Gu Jiuchen's character, he would not give up if he didn't speak clearly.

"Jiuchen, I know it's hard for you to accept it at the moment, but I can assure you that I have never done anything to regret you." Mo Wuhen spoke firmly and looked directly at Gu Jiuchen, "Everything I have done has been It’s to protect you.”

"Protect me?" Gu Jiuchen sneered, "Is this how you protect me? Collude with those people and betray our brotherhood?"

"Jiuchen, you misunderstood!" Mo Wuhen wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Gu Jiuchen.

"That's enough!" Gu Jiuchen roared angrily, "I don't want to listen to your sophistry anymore. From now on, we will never be sworn in!"

Say it

, Gu Jiuchen turned and left, leaving Ye Linglong and Mo Wuhen in the same place, the atmosphere was solemn. Ye Linglong wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Mo Wuhen.

"Let him go, he needs to calm down now." A trace of loneliness flashed in Mo Wuhen's eyes.

Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen's leaving figure, her heart filled with worry and helplessness. She knew that this misunderstanding might not be solved so easily.

As for Gu Jiuchen, after leaving Mo Mansion, his heart was filled with anger and pain. He couldn't understand why Mo Wuhen became like this. He decided to go deep into the tiger's den alone to find out the truth and clear Mo Wuhen's name.

However, just as Gu Jiuchen is preparing to take action, an unexpected truth is about to surface, which will completely subvert his original understanding...

After Gu Jiuchen left Mo Mansion, the anger in his heart not only did not subside, but intensified. He couldn't believe that his brother, who had been with him for many years, would betray him and join that mysterious force.

"Mo Wuhen, you'd better pray that everything you do is for my good, otherwise, I will never forgive you!" Gu Jiuchen said through gritted teeth, a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes.

He decided to go deep into the tiger's den alone to find out the truth. He wanted to see with his own eyes what the mysterious force was and why Mo Wuhen colluded with them.

Gu Jiuchen came to a dense forest outside the city, which was the place agreed on in the letter. He hid his figure, lurking deep in the woods, waiting for the mysterious man to appear.

As night falls, there is silence in the dense forest, with only a few insect chirps occasionally breaking the dull atmosphere. Gu Jiuchen held his breath and concentrated, not daring to

He didn't make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing the grass and alerting the snake.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of slight footsteps in the distance. Gu Jiuchen's heart trembled, knowing that the rightful owner was here.

He quietly poked his head out and saw a figure in black walking over furtively. The man in black came to a big tree and stopped, as if waiting for something.

After a while, another figure in black came out from the depths of the woods.

"Have you brought anything?" the man in black who came first asked in a low voice.

"I brought it." The man in black took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, "This is what you want."

The man in black who came first took the letter, opened it and took a look, with a proud smile on his lips.

"Very good, you did a good job." The man in black who came first said, "Go back and tell your master that the matter is done, so that he can rest assured."

"Yes." The man in black responded, turned around and disappeared into the night.

The man in black who came first carefully put away the letter and was about to leave. Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him:

"Where do you want this letter sent?"

The man in black was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Gu Jiuchen appearing behind him at some point and looking at him coldly.

"Who are you?" the man in black asked in shock.

"You don't need to know who I am." Gu Jiuchen said coldly, "You just need to know that you have fallen into my hands."

The man in black saw that his identity was exposed, so he stopped pretending, sneered, and said, "Since you have discovered me, I can only send you on your way!"

After that, the man in black flashed and turned into a black shadow, attacking Gu Jiuchen.

Gu Jiuchen had been prepared for it.

He moved his body to the side and easily dodged the attack of the man in black. At the same time, he slapped his palm and hit the man in black in the chest.

The man in black screamed, flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Gu Jiuchen walked towards the man in black step by step, looked down at him, and asked coldly: "Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to deal with me?"

The man in black struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground powerlessly, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

"Want to know who I am? Wait until the next life!" The man in black said, and then he bit the poison hidden in his mouth and died instantly.

Gu Jiuchen frowned, looking at the body of the man in black, his heart full of doubts.

"Who is he? Why did he want to kill me?"

Just then, Gu Jiuchen suddenly found that the man in black was holding a jade pendant tightly in his hand. He opened the man in black's hand, took the jade pendant in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

This jade pendant is emerald green, and a lifelike unicorn is carved on it. It is obvious that it is a valuable treasure.

However, when Gu Jiuchen saw the pattern on the back of the jade pendant, his face suddenly changed...
