Chapter 267: Shaded
Outside the gate of Chu Mo's house, an old man with a trace of blood on his face stood at the door with uneasiness in his eyes, hesitated for a moment and knocked on the knocker with his left hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Before he could knock on it for the second time, Chu Mo walked out of it and immediately closed the door, so that He Yuzhu, who came out closely, couldn't see anything.
"How did you get this way?"
The old man in front of him was none other than the leader of the team that had escorted Kong Hu to the oasis before, and Chu Mo still didn't know his name.
At this time, his appearance was very different from that of the day, Chu Mo could see that his right arm was only a short sleeve, and he lost an arm in less than half a day, in addition, there was a wound on his neck that seemed to have been simply bandaged but was still bleeding, Chu Mo immediately pulled him away and asked away from people's eyes.
"Young man, to make a long story short, I didn't come to ask you for help, so don't bother me, this is something that several of our teams found together, divided into four parts, I have one here and one here, I will give him to you, whatever you want, but don't give it to those two robbers."
After speaking, the old man took out something that looked like a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Chu Mo, seeing Chu Mo accept him, he quickly turned around and left, as if he was hiding something, Chu Mo held the bamboo slip in his hand that had obviously been split by a sharp weapon, and watched the old man leave without saying a word, frowning.
Divine sense invested in this bamboo slip, Chu Mo's face suddenly changed, with a touch of joy, the desire on his face when he put it away was still difficult to hide, the things in the bamboo slip made Chu Mo, a guy who had been reborn from the Xieyang Continent, show this kind of expression, which is not simple.
He just wanted to follow the old man's trail, ask him where he found this thing, and by the way, ask about the whereabouts of the other bamboo slips that were split, when he suddenly felt a pair of eyes behind him looking at him, and he didn't have to think about it to know who it was, and quietly put the bamboo slips into the storage ring, Chu Mo turned around and walked back towards the slightly hidden door.
"Who was that person just now, it looks like he was being hunted down, just like me, don't you want to help him?"
He Yuzhu sat in the main room and asked softly to Chu Mo who was going and returning, although he lowered his vigilance against Chu Mo, but at least she was still on guard, she was more or less suspicious when she saw Chu Mo walking out in a hurry, so she chased out and saw the old man, but he didn't see the old man give Chu Mo anything before leaving.
"He is the martial artist who escorted me and my friends through the ancient desert, it was good to see him during the day, and he became like this when I didn't see him for a long time, I wanted to help him, but he left."
Chu Mo's words He Yuzhu frowned slightly, and asked a little gloatingly: "Since you are meeting for the first time, why did he find you when he was being hunted down, do you have a grudge against him?" ā
"What do you mean?"
When these words were spoken, Chu Mo came back to his senses, and there was a trace of unsightliness on his face, since the old man was hunted down, how did he enter the city, and it didn't matter if he found his place to live, the problem now was that the thing was in his own hands, and the person who was chasing and killing the old man would have to find him sooner or later, or the other party would already know, and it wouldn't be long before he came to the door to petition.
Chu Mo was led by the other party's troubles, and it was overshadowed!
It is actually the wisest thing for the old man to give him the bamboo slip, because this bamboo slip is a inheritance bamboo slip, which is imprinted with a complete sword technique, but because it has been too long, it has caused some forbidden weathering, even if it is not a cultivator like Chu Mo, he can read the things in it, no wonder the old man was injured like that for a bamboo slip, he must have seen the things inside.
The physical object is easy to obtain, the virtual law is difficult to find, this is the general knowledge of cultivators, although a peerless good sword is rare, but it can be created, compared to it, the birth of a law requires a person's ultimate comprehension, not to mention how high the natural power comprehension is required, even if it can create the law, there are a few people who can leave behind the things they have worked so hard to create.
People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and who is willing to make wedding dresses for others with their own efforts, so in the Xieyang Continent, the exercises are a secret that is not passed down within a family or sect, not to mention a complete swordsmanship, although Chu Mo can only see a fraction of the swordsmanship in the bamboo slips, it can definitely be judged to be something left by the cultivator, and the grade is not low, how much temptation is for Chu Mo, a guy who can only use the moonlight sword to slash out the sword shadow and sword, can be imagined.
Although he was annoyed that he was being used, it was too late to regret it, since he knew this sword technique, there was no reason to let it go, glancing at He Yuzhu, Chu Mo didn't say anything more, sat aside, thinking about how to get other bamboo slips.
He Yuzhu no longer asked Chu Mo to go out to find something to eat, obviously she also knew that Chu Mo had caused a trouble, and this trouble would endanger her, but since she had promised Chu Mo to let her follow her for a month, she would reluctantly help Chu Mo solve this problem.
Thinking like this, He Yuzhu suddenly believed that he was Chu Mo's "nobleman", if Chu Mo didn't protect himself, no matter who he offended, no matter how much he resisted as an ordinary person, he would not be able to deal with it, and he could hunt down that old man in the early stage of the Xuan Rank into such a person.
Gradually, He Yuzhu had accepted the "master" and his "nobleman" that Chu Mo had made up, which was undoubtedly a thing worth laughing at secretly for Chu Mo, who was unaware.
ā¦ā¦
The darker the night, the more Xuhe City is like a city that never sleeps, it is still brightly lit, the shops are still open, even in the early hours of the morning, there will be several lights, and the night market is a major feature of Xuhe City.
There is a place in the huge Xuhe City that is not like this, there is no noise of merchants, and some are just solemn, this is the city lord's mansion of Xuhe City.
The City Lord's Mansion is the center of the entire Xuhe City, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, with scattered and orderly buildings arranged, and the well-trained city army will come out of here, maintaining the order of Xuhe City every day, and making it a "commercial and trade holy land" in the desert.
Among them, the tallest building that seems to stand out from the crowd is the residence of the two city lords of Xuhe City, the main city lord is called Lu Quansheng, and the deputy city lord is called Lu Shusheng, the two are twin brothers, and it is said that their respective names also have a meaning.
The troublesome drunken man laughed and said that one of the two was conceived by his parents by the spring, and the other was conceived under the tree, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, but the Hun man, who was a frequent customer of the restaurant, never got drunk since then, because he never appeared.
