"You go back first, I'll take a look at the medicine garden."
Senior brother is careful.
Xiaodong immediately took the initiative to say: "Is there anything else to plant? I can help." Even if it's too much help, he can do errands, fetch water, pick up a shovel and other chores.
"Well, yes." Mo Chen said, "It's not appropriate for Ji Zhenren and these Western Regions to grow here. I'm afraid it won't be the same as before. The Western Regions are very different from the Central Plains..."
Xiaodong nodded repeatedly. Although he had never been to the real Western Regions, he had been to Xitu Pass with his uncle, which was the farthest place to the west he had ever been to. There are indeed many differences from the Central Plains. There are few rivers, few green trees, strong wind and strong sun.
It is a completely different place from Beifu City.
"then what should we do?"
"Transplant it." Mo Chen said: "Move it to the greenhouse behind the medicine garden first. I don't know if these hemorrhoids are in the way, so let's move it there too."
Xiaodong has no objection.
Mo Chen brought the wooden box, Xiaodong also helped to carry it, shoveled out the seedlings together with the soil and put them into the box, and then planted them one by one in the greenhouse. It is not troublesome to say that it is troublesome, after all, the seedlings have just grown, and the roots are very short, and only a block of soil as thick as a blue brick was shoveled and moved over.
But after the removal, the land that Xiaodong had planted was empty.
It's a pity to be empty, so Mo Chen replanted some hemostatic grass.
After everything was done, the brothers and sisters went back.
Xiaodong didn't worry at all, and fell asleep right away.
Mo Chen meditated beside him as usual.
But tonight he couldn't settle down.
He didn't really cheat Xiaodong just now.
Hemorrhoids seeds are planted together with this unknown seed, and are likely to be affected by other seeds.
But this is only a possibility.
Another possibility is that the planters are different.
Anxiety, like a huge shadow, quickly filled Mo Chen's heart.
The junior brother already has a big secret, but fortunately, as long as the junior brother does not tell this secret, no one else can easily discover it.
If Mo Chen's guess comes true again this time, then this secret is probably even scarier than the last one.
Thinking of this, Mo Chen just wanted to destroy all those seedlings that shouldn't germinate.
But he can't do that. Destroying Ji Zhenren's seeds may cover up the secret for a while, and there may be more troubles later.
If the little junior brother really has such a crazy secret, Mo Chen has no doubt that the world is so big that there is absolutely no place for him. It's nothing if you fight over it, and what's even more frightening is that there are still people who use living people to make alchemy!
Mo Chen lowered his head and gently rolled up his sleeves.
The entire arm is already covered with scales.
At this point, there is no need to comfort myself anymore.
Mo Chen knew that there must be a secret in him, a big secret. Maybe once exposed, there will no longer be a place for him in this world.
Compared with his junior brother, Mo Chen didn't have much clue about the mutation in himself.
If such a change occurred before knowing his life experience, Mo Chen would definitely suspect that he might be a half-demon.
There are not many half-demons, but usually they can't live too aboveboard, and almost all of them are demons. Some of the children born to demons and people show obvious characteristics of demons right after they are born, some have claws, tails, or scales. Of course, such a child can survive among ordinary people, and it is impossible for him to join the orthodox sect and take the orthodox cultivation path. There are also those who looked like ordinary babies when they were born, and then grew up with their bottoms exposed.
However, now Mo Chen's parents are clear that his resemblance to Valley Master Wu cannot be faked. Since his parents are ordinary people, what's the matter with this thing growing on him? Where did it come from
Who is he
This question was deeply buried in Mo Chen's heart.
who is he? Where is he from? How did this mutation in him come about? What will become of it in the future
The scale wasn't the only mutation on his body.
Mo Chen looked down at his feet.
There is another mutation that he tried his best to hide these days.
He found that his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
He didn't pay attention at first, after all, his true essence has been slowly recovering since returning from the Burial Sword Valley. When he left Huiliu Mountain, his cultivation had recovered to nearly 70%. At that time, Mo Chen didn't think much about it, the master carefully prepared the medicine for him, besides, his injury was not considered serious.
But when they first arrived at Tianji Mountain, Mo Chen's cultivation had already fully recovered. It's okay if that's all. The problem is, after reaching Mo Chen's previous normal cultivation level, his cultivation base is still growing.
In the matter of saving Huang Wan, Mo Chen was able to make it so that no one on Tianji Mountain noticed that he had intervened, but it was definitely not because of his good luck. On the contrary, what is the most in Tianji Mountain? With a compass in hand, 80% of people wake up every morning to divination good or bad luck. Many people's compasses have their own specialties. For example, Ning Yu's compass is particularly sensitive to the direction of the spiritual veins, and can even detect the abnormalities of the junior brother at that time.
It's too difficult to successfully deceive the world under the eyes of these people.
For example, Hu Zhenren felt that Li Fulin helped his apprentice make things happen, and the head of Tianji Mountain also thought so.
Li Fulin himself also asked Mo Chen after the incident, but Mo Chen knew his master too well, so it was easy for him to pass the test.
After they arrived in Beifu City, Mo Chen didn't go out to practice at the usual time, because he was worried that his cultivation base, which had grown too fast, could not be retracted freely. For this reason, not only Jiang Fan was worried, but even Xiaodong was also worried.
But Xiaodong is very coaxing, Mo Chen casually crushed a piece of ice stone that had been frozen in the courtyard for an unknown amount of time into powder, Xiaodong opened his round eyes wide, wishing he could jump up and slap him.
These days, Mo Chen practiced more diligently than in the past, he had to control and cover up these unexpected growth earlier, and he had to be able to retract and release freely.
If Master hadn't been so busy these days, he should have been able to see that Mo Chen was strange.
Thinking of this, Mo Chen even showed a wry smile.
Huiliushan didn't know whether it was bad feng shui or too good feng shui, he and a troublesome disciple like Xiaodong met two at once.
Master doesn't know yet, but if he knew, he would probably be so worried that he couldn't sleep and would lose a lot of hair.
Early the next morning, Mo Chen also took Xiaodong to the martial arts field, not only giving advice to the juniors, but also demonstrating a few moves to them. Jiang Fan admired the senior brother's steady sword moves, and felt relieved at the same time. in one breath.
Since the last time he was injured, the senior brother hadn't shown his skills before his classmates, which made Jiang Fan very worried.
Seeing that senior brother's swordsmanship is no less inferior than before, and seems to be stronger than before, Jiang Fan is also happy for senior senior brother.
After practicing the kung fu and sending the master out, he saw the smiling senior Fang who came yesterday with a bitter face, and rushed out of the house with a posture of almost fleeing, as if there was someone in the Li family's yard. If the tiger wanted to eat him, it would be more dangerous if he stayed for a moment longer.
Uh, but if you really want to say, there is indeed a tiger in this yard, a tigress.
Li Fulin has always been easy-going, and Ji Zhenren is his complete opposite. She has everything that Li Fulin lacks, and all the disciples have settled down a lot these days, and they will be careful not to raise their voices when speaking.
However, this security is also limited.
Huiliu Mountain was so big at that time, and it was fine for all the disciples to have fun on the mountain. Now in Beifu City, even though it is very prosperous, the Li family's house is relatively not small, but they are bored in the house and yard all day, and a group of young disciples feel aggrieved.
Others were suffering from suffocation, but at least they endured it. Linglong used to find reasons to go down the mountain when she returned to Liushan, and she couldn't sit still in the house.
But she also knew that if she asked the elder brother directly, the elder brother would definitely not agree to let her go out.
Even Zhai Wenhui persuaded her, and even said the words of retreating again.
She doesn't like seeing anything these days, and the always gloomy and gray weather in Beifu City also makes her bored. The snow has stopped, but the sky has not cleared up. There is a piece of ice and snow everywhere, cold and dusty.
Thinking of staying here for a year or even longer, Linglong felt that she would suffocate to death sooner or later.
It is not easy to go down the mountain casually when returning to Liushan, but it is not difficult to go out here.
After all, before going down the mountain, no matter how fast it was, it would take half a day to reach the town. But here, jumping out of the wall, there is a bustling market not far away. If you walk quickly, you will come back in an hour, and no one will notice.
And now she lives alone in a courtyard, it is more convenient for her to sneak out than others.
No one else lives alone, and there is Xiaodong at the senior brother's place, because she is the only girl who has the convenience of living in a courtyard by herself.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help it, and finally took advantage of the latter half of the day when most of the people stayed in her room and Zhai Wenhui didn't have the time to look for her.
This time she came back quickly, did not go far, just familiarized herself with the terrain, looked at the streets and alleys around Li's house and the terrain.
After she came back, she was a little guilty. She changed the shoes she wore when she went out, and after thinking about it, she also changed the skirt. She didn't say much during dinner, and looked around secretly.
was not found.
If there is one, there are two, the first success fueled Linglong's ambition.
The second time she went a little further, and bought some dried meat from a shop in the south.
The jerky sold in Beifu City is extraordinarily hard. It tastes like eating a piece of ice when it is cold.
Although the jerky is not tasty, Linglong is still secretly happy. She bought this not because she wanted it to be delicious, but mainly because she felt that she came back empty-handed after going out without doing anything.
It will be different if you just buy something and come back. I feel that this trip was not in vain. (to be continued)
