Mo Chen wore a blue-gray robe and a snow-white cloak over his head. This kind of attire is very common, but it looks different when worn by the elder brother. Xiaodong is a little afraid to look into senior brother's eyes now, it's okay to look at each other for a short time, but if he looks at him for a long time, he always feels like he will be sucked in by those bottomless eyes.
"Don't worry, I came back before dark. Now that the city lord has cleaned up the city defense and access control after taking office, Beifu City is still safe now."
Besides, Ji Zhenren is still in the house. With her here, Li Fulin was very relieved to go out.
"Brother, come back soon."
"knew."
Mo Chen and Master went out for a whole day this time, and came back after dark. Both of them didn't seem to have any injuries, but there was some dust on their faces, and they were a little tired.
Xiaodong took the cloak that Mo Chen took off and hung it up, and poured hot tea for him to drink.
"Brother, do you want to eat?"
"No, I'm not hungry."
After serving the tea, Xiaodong sat beside Mo Chen and told him what happened today.
"I went to the medicine garden to take care of those medicinal herbs. Maybe because the weather was too cold, they didn't grow very long. Those seeds given by Ji Zhenren, the stems are shorter than the hemostatic grass, and the leaves are thin. It really doesn't look like it. Species from the Central Plains."
Mo Chen picked up the tea and took a sip. Xiaodong's tea making skills have improved a lot compared to when he first went up the mountain. The tea made before... Cough, anyway, no matter what the taste is, people who can't drink it to death are: "Yeah."
"Also, Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Shao are fighting against each other today. Senior Brother Shao's swordsmanship seems to have improved a lot."
Mo Chen smiled: "You are talking too much, it sounds like you are a senior brother."
Xiaodong quickly waved his hand: "No, I mean, brother Shao is better than before..." Looking at the smile on Mo Chen's face, Xiaodong also knew that Mo Chen was teasing him, but if he wanted to push back, he didn't have that I had no choice but to skip this section altogether: "Today Wu Qi and Zhao Boyuan bothered Senior Brother Jiang to learn swordsmanship, which gave Senior Brother Jiang a headache for a while."
They have not formally started, and swordsmanship cannot be taught. Although Jiang Fan is a good-natured person who is easy to talk to, he takes the rules of the house more seriously than others. Asking him for other things is more effective than asking others. Ask him about this matter, although he is very embarrassed, but if he doesn't teach, he won't teach.
"Ji Zhenren..."
"Um?"
"Ji Zhenzhen saw it, and asked Zhao Boyuan casually, do you want to learn from her?"
Mo Chen was indeed a little surprised: "Ji Zhenren really said that?"
Xiaodong nodded.
Ordinarily, Ji Zhenzhen and them are now... a family, apart from Mo Chen and his few direct disciples, she can accept whoever she wants as an apprentice. If Master and Ji Zhenren form a Taoist couple, and Ji Zhenzhen is willing to enter Huiliu Mountain, they can be regarded as a family, regardless of each other, whoever accepts disciples is the same.
Everyone now regards Ji Zhenzhen as the teacher's wife...
But it was one thing to understand in his heart, after all without that procedure, Ji Zhenren could not be regarded as one of them, and Zhao Boyuan could not learn martial arts from her.
"Ji Zhenzhen just thought of it on a whim, or do you think Zhao Boyuan is really suitable to learn her exercises?" Many exercises are selective, and some of them can only be learned by women, such as Bixia Mountain Villa, men with a heart cannot learn them. Ji Zhenzhen's master is long gone, she has always been alone, and everyone doesn't know the origin of her sect.
Generally speaking, male teachers do not accept female apprentices, and female teachers rarely accept male students. After all, there are many inconveniences. Like Huiliu Mountain, the master only accepted Linglong as a female apprentice, and that was because she was picked up and brought up since she was a child, the situation is different.
After saying this, Xiaodong stared at Mo Chen, waiting for the senior brother to speak.
Mo Chen thought it was funny, and intentionally drank a cup of tea slowly, put down the cup and said: "I went to Dongshan Palace with Master."
Xiaodong asked curiously, "Where is that place? Is it far?"
"It's not far or near, it's about six hundred miles away."
For ordinary people, more than six hundred miles is as far as the sky, but it is not the same for people who practice Taoism.
"Which side of Beifu City is it?"
Mo Chen pointed casually: "We still need to rely on the northwest."
Beifu City is already inaccessible, the terrain is high, steep, and extremely cold. Further north, how cold would it be? And further north from here, there are no ordinary people living there, not even roads. Unless the cultivators practice special skills and need this kind of supplement, otherwise they will not go to such a barren land.
"What is Winter Mountain? It sounds like the name of a temple."
"It's not a temple, it's a place name. Because the ice rock there doesn't melt all the year round, it looks like a palace from a distance, so someone took this name. Not only Master and I, but also City Master Li and two people went there today. A person of the same path. There, eradicated a wave of demonic remnants, including the group of people who conspired against Huiliu Mountain last time."
Xiaodong was taken aback: "Really? But they are so far away from Huiliu Mountain, why did they go there to plot against us?" But as soon as the words came out, Xiaodong had an answer.
Do villains need a reason to do evil? I heard that Huiliu Mountain used to be called Zhumo Mountain, and many major events have indeed happened.
"They didn't take a living. They have a lot of tricks in the ghost realm. When the situation is not good, those who can escape will escape, and those who can't escape will kill themselves. They don't even leave the corpse." Mo Chen said carefully to Xiaodong: " The master said that the world is gradually becoming less peaceful, and we must be careful at all times in the future, people of the devil way have sinister intentions and many methods, and it is impossible to guard against them."
Xiaodong thought of Linglong and Zhai Wenhui, how old are the senior sisters, and what enmity do they have with those monsters? As a result, being poisoned is worse than death.
He nodded vigorously: "Brother, don't worry, I will remember." But he was still curious: "Brother, why did you go with City Lord Li?"
"City Lord Li is investigating the death of the former Song City Lord, and Master is also investigating, so we went together."
Xiaodong hurriedly asked: "Did these monsters kill City Lord Song?"
Mo Chen shook his head: "No, these people are not the opponents of Master and City Lord Li, and they don't have the ability to kill City Lord Song."
"Then how did City Lord Li find out about these people? There is always something related, right?"
"It's a little clue from the wound of City Lord Song." Mo Chen patiently explained to him: "Many people always have to cover up a lot in order not to reveal their true identities when doing something. For example, changing their appearance Appearance and voice, without using the weapons and tricks that you have become famous for..."
Xiaodong nodded, he understood this.
"But that also depends on what we are doing. Just like when we returned to Liushan, those people left many loopholes, but Master just couldn't spare to investigate and settle the matter thoroughly. There is also the killing of the city lord Song, Song Although the city lord's old injuries have recurred and his skills have weakened, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can casually injure. If a person neither uses the weapons he is familiar with nor the skills he is good at, he will silently kill Song if he wants to raise his hand. The city lord is killed, how powerful is this person? I'm afraid he is about to become a god."
Brother is right.
Xiaodong couldn't even imagine that City Lord Song was indeed a capable person, and Xiaodong still felt that the fact that he was killed was unreal. Who could kill him? Who is going to kill him
Xiaodong sat there in a daze, Mo Chen didn't say anything, just sat beside him quietly.
Things didn't go very well today. City Lord Li returned after a futile trip. The demons killed today just participated in the last incident in Liushan, and the people behind the scenes still haven't found much information.
When City Lord Li came back, he told them some news about Rentian Jiancheng.
Tianjian City also has a city lord, but few people can see the city lord of Tianjian City. It was a very closed, exclusive, mysterious place. Whether it is the city owner or the elders, they all only come from their city. It is said that the city lords were all appointed by the previous city lord when he passed away, not the inheritance from father to son or ancestor to grandson.
This time, Beifu City's post was posted, and people from Tianjian City naturally came. A total of five of them came, one of them was the youngest, and he was called young master by others.
And this young master, Li Fulin's master and apprentice all know what kind of guy he is.
Chen Jingzhi, who was born in a small family in a remote area, suddenly became the young master of Tianjian City? It just feels absurd to say it.
But it actually happened.
But this Qiu Hui Liushan would not let it go lightly, and let Chen Jingzhi be his "young master" so freely and proudly.
Even if they were afraid of Tian Jiancheng and wanted to let it go, Chen Jingzhi would not let them go. The people in Huiliushan knew him and knew his details, so he was afraid that he would be on pins and needles all the time, thinking about how to wipe out Huiliushan.
But he can't do this matter with great fanfare. Although he has become the so-called "young master", it has to do with his secret background, and he should be most afraid of being discovered by Tian Jiancheng. That night he didn't kill Cheng Xiaodong but was injured instead, and the kung fu of the two he brought with him can only be regarded as mediocre, and they left in a hurry before dawn, which shows that he has a guilty conscience.
The title of young master sounds very bluffing, but it's actually not that important. Otherwise, with the background of Tianjian City, why bother to deal with a small Huiliu Mountain
If Chen Jingzhi hadn't come to kill Xiaodong, it wouldn't be easy for the people returning to Liushan to find out his whereabouts. He just delivered it to the door by himself.
This kind of traitor, no matter how generous Li Fulin was, he would never let him go.
According to Master's intention, we will start to do this matter only after this year has passed.
... The reason why we should be cautious is not that the master doesn't care about the rules of the family, or the lives of the disciples killed by Chen Jingzhi.
It was Xiaodong who was involved in this matter.
Chen Jingzhi must kill Xiaodong, even a fool can see that there is a mystery in it.
Xiaodong is not a son of the Yun family, his life experience is probably related to Tianjiancheng. With so many people in Huiliu Mountain, Chen Jingzhi wanted his life alone.
Mo Chen didn't want Xiaodong to have anything to do with Tian Jiancheng. (to be continued)
