Chapter 42: The Past of the Sect
Hua Xiangwu would never have imagined that the sentence she casually ridiculed Chu Mo was completely close to the truth, that's right, the spirit grass Chu Mo was also used for eating, but he was just used for refining, and if the flower seed the size of a fingernail in front of him wanted to grow into a flower, it was impossible to absorb the spiritual energy in this barren place alone, and it had to be with the help of the spirit grass like Chu Mo.

There is a saying that "it is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other", but in reality, if you want to grow, you have to "hurt each other", if the plants of demon cultivation want to grow quickly, then you will inevitably rely on devouring the same kind to seize the aura, and the best choice is the spirit grass.
Chu Mo watched Hua Xiangwu fiddling with the flower seed, thinking about how to solve this trouble, suddenly his ears moved, and he whispered: "Put away your grain, someone is coming." ”
Hearing this, Hua Xiangwu hurriedly put it away, this thing was given to him by Chu Mo, and he couldn't give it to others, and at the same time looked to the side to see who was coming.
"Chu Mo, have you two found the flower seeds?"
A mature male voice came, and I saw a middle-aged man in a robe smiling gently at the two, his eyes paying attention to Chu Mo.
"Found it, isn't it this?"
Chu Mo took out the flower seed in his hand and threw it to him, he took it in his hand and looked at it and returned it, and then asked who got it.
"Of course, I got it myself."
Chu Mo didn't know what he meant, so he could only reply like this, in fact, it was true, but he got another grain.
"Well, okay then, I've already let the two of you meet, now, Chu Mo, what do you think of me being the sect?"
Even though he was smiling, Chu Mo still felt a bit of conspiracy under the other party's smile, and fell silent, not knowing what the other party was planning.
Hua Xiangwu looked at Chu Mo, and then looked at the person in front of her who looked like a martial arts novel, and always felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little wrong, so she stood up and whispered: "That, can you let us have a meal, Chu Mo and I are a little hungry." ”
The middle-aged man suddenly patted his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm tired of the two of you, I'll prepare lunch soon, you can eat together." After speaking, he glanced at Chu Mo meaningfully and walked away.
"Chu Mo, did that person force you to do something?"
As soon as the middle-aged man left, Hua Xiangwu asked Chu Mo nervously, although the middle-aged uncle felt good about himself, but compared to Chu Mo, it was insignificant.
"There is something that I don't have any way to solve now, and I don't think he will force me if it's not enough."
Chu Mo said this without confidence, and he didn't understand how the person in front of him would know what the other party was doing, maybe if he didn't agree, he would do it himself?
"Okay then, Chu Mo, let's go eat first, I know where that place is."
Hua Xiangwu left the garden with Chu Mo and walked towards an ancient building that resembled a temple, looking from a distance, there was a grand view.
"Chu Mo, do you think this is beautiful?" On the road, Hua Xiangwu kept pointing to all kinds of strange things, and asked Chu Mo, some things in the sect are rare to see in the outside world, and I don't know how they exist here.
Chu Mo nodded, this place is indeed a pure land compared to the outside world, but the weather in June is as cool as spring, the strong osmanthus trees grow on both sides of the road, the petals blown off by the wind are scattered into the clear river and I don't know where to float, the water is about three feet deep, and the fish, shrimp and aquatic plants in the water can be seen clearly.
According to the surrounding terrain, it can be understood that this is a valley, except for a few strange buildings in the valley, there are all kinds of strange flowers and plants, if people who don't know come in, they must think that they have entered some kind of idler's retreat, Chu Mozhen doubts how to find this kind of place.
The two walked and talked to the temple, stood outside the door with a kind of admiration, and when they walked in, they found that there was no Buddha statue inside, or none of them had anything to do with the Buddha, but a big long table was set up, and the huge temple became a place to eat.
"Here, it's just right, the meal is ready, let's sit down and eat."
The middle-aged man's enthusiastic appearance of the host entertaining the guests made Chu Mo almost think that he was a guest, he didn't think about why he was eating in the temple for the time being, sat down with Hua Xiangwu, and looked at the food on the table, which was ordinary and had no characteristics, and his heart was even more puzzled.
"Isn't there just the three of you and a child in your sect as a total of four people?"
Chu Mo didn't eat, but asked, his divine sense didn't see anyone on the four sides of the sect, thinking that it was his own illusion, a sect can't even see a living person, what kind of sect is that?
It wasn't until he saw three people sitting at this table and a child who could barely reach the bowl that he vaguely felt that this sect seemed a little unexpected.
The old man with particularly bright eyes among the three people in front of him took a few bites of rice, immediately put down his rice bowl, and said vaguely: "Wrong, it's three people, I'm not in charge." ”
The remaining two people glanced at each other, and the old man who seemed to have bad legs and feet snorted, and said with a sense of pride: "Our sect used to have four hundred outer disciples, one hundred inner disciples, and ten elite disciples, but for some reasons there are only three and a half now, but our history of the sect is very long, young people should not underestimate the sect because of this." ”
Chu Mo looked at his serious appearance and suddenly laughed, what are you doing, it's really just a few people's sects, and how did the three and a half people figure it out?
He has also seen sects with few people, but that kind of sect is all strong, don't want it, and just one person can almost push one side sideways.
But in addition to the middle-aged man in front of him, the so-called Dangzong in front of him seems to be a little level, and the other one looks like he has bad legs and feet, although he is an ancient martial artist, but it is still a suspense whether he can outrun the enemy at the critical moment.
Looking at the child who had been eating with his head down, Chu Mo wondered if it was abducted, because he hadn't said a word until now.
Absentmindedly taking a bite of food, Chu Mo felt that he was much safer now, the sect of the three people was really wonderful, it was estimated that it would take a lot of effort to find someone to join their sect, and bringing himself must be this purpose.
The three of them finished eating with just chopsticks, sitting on the stool and looking at Chu Mo and Hua Xiangwu, the latter put some dishes into Chu Mo's bowl from time to time, and the other three people who watched it rarely felt how good it would be if there was a woman in Dangzong.
"Ahem, cough, Chu Mo, have you eaten well? Now tell me, what do you think of me? ”
The middle-aged man didn't even tell Chu Mo his name so far, but he always urged Chu Mo vigorously, which made him naturally not feel that it was good to be in charge, and he was still vigilant now.
"It's very good, it's a good place to live in seclusion, but it's a little less crowded, not like a sect."
Chu Mo is already very face-saving, so he won't say that your sect is simply unpopular, I can't look at it, and it's even more shameful for me to join.
"I mean, you won't consider joining our sect."
The middle-aged man looked at Chu Mo seriously, suddenly took out a token, and threw it to Chu Mo without thinking about it, "This token can open the treasure house of our sect, which contains one-third of our sect's savings for hundreds of years, it is because of these that we were killed in the first place, and the rest of these have been kept a long time ago." ”
"Sect Master, no, this token only has two sides, what are you doing for him, isn't this kid still picky?"
The old man with bad legs and feet couldn't help but stand up from the table in shock when he saw that the sect master actually took out this to let Chu Mo join the sect, and shouted loudly, while glaring angrily at Chu Mo.
The rest of the bright-eyed old man was already with his eyes open like a big lantern, and he had been in this place for so many years, and it was the first time he had heard that with this, he could enter that treasure land casually.
Chu Mo looked at the token in disbelief, this thing seemed to have a lot of weight, making the two old men so out of shape when they were so old.
He looked at the middle-aged man's eyes, now in addition to sincerity, it is a kind of hope, which makes Chu Mo can't help but waver a little, whether he wants to join or not, it seems that it is not harmful to himself at present.
"You tell me about the past of the sect, even if I want to know the history of the sect before I join."
Hearing Chu Mo talk about this, the middle-aged man lowered his head, trying to remember what it was, and then slowly spoke.
"I have a history of two hundred years when the sect was founded, the first suzerain was the Qianlong period of the government and the opposition ministers and Kun, he loved gold, silver and jewelry all his life, and set up an organization called 'Dangmen' in the people, specializing in solving problems for the people to earn money, gradually his ambition is getting bigger and bigger, and finally was intolerated by the imperial court, Jiaqing was given death by the new emperor, without his protection, when the door at that time was a meat bun that anyone wants to bite into, so it was attacked by the crowd, and soon fell down."
Chu Mo is okay, although he was surprised when he heard this, he was at least acceptable, but Hua Xiangwu next to him opened his mouth wide with a hellish expression, this is simply anti-history, there is no record of this in the history books, aren't these people really a pyramid scheme?
Didn't care about the mood of the two, the middle-aged man continued: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the door is down, but the foundation is still there, it disappeared in the sight of the court after a while, and then it was active in the people in the name of the sect, and then the foreign thieves invaded, the inner ghost was cowardly, when the sect retreated to the mountains and forests in time, and slowly developed, it was divided into Wudang Zong and Wendangzong, and when it came out of the mountain again, it was already a thing or a person, and the road was not a carriage but a variety of cars, and the quadrangle house became a high-rise building. So it became the first force, but on that night twenty years ago, a group of people came out of nowhere, regardless of men, women and children, killed people when they saw them, I was killed because of arrogance and negligence at that time, and the result was a river of blood, only I escaped from Wudangzong, only the old lame man escaped from Wendangzong, and his leg was also a problem that fell at that time, so far my Dangzong completely disappeared in front of people's eyes. ”
When it comes to this obviously not bright history, the middle-aged man and the old lame man are both hateful and helpless, and now there are only two people left in the first sect, and they don't even dare to recruit disciples, for fear that the original enemy will know that it will bring ruin to the sect.
Therefore, after the old blind man and the middle-aged man found Chu Mo with that bottle of blood, they felt that Chu Mo was unusual, and said that they would pull Chu Mo away, even if they did it, it can be seen that Dangzong is really down to a state now, and even recruiting new people has to use means.
"Well, you now know what kind of situation I am in the sect, and I can't blame you if I don't join me as the sect, I just hope you don't have to say this here."
The middle-aged man was extremely sad, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and said solemnly to Chu Mo, the two old men on the side, one stared at the token non-stop, and the other had fire in his eyes, revealing great dissatisfaction with Chu Mo.
Chu Mo didn't have a feeling in his heart, how could he feel that the history of the sect in front of him was so similar to his own, wasn't he the only survivor? If you return to the Xieyang Continent, your strength is no longer good, and if your cultivation is not enough, you will have to be a man with your tail between your legs.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that fate was really tricky, he had met someone who was sick with the same disease as him, and now he had to consider whether to join them.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, but the old lame man couldn't help it, he saw Chu Mo's refusal to agree, and immediately stood up and pointed at Chu Mo and scolded.
"Boy, the sect master has a good heart, talk to you well, if I am an old cripple, I will definitely hang you up for three days and three nights first, if I don't give you some prestige, I don't know if you are obedient, why are young people so difficult now."
The old blind man next to him, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also nodded, and reprimanded: "Boy, you'd better join the sect quickly, be a better person, or you give me the brand in your hand, and I will keep it for you." ”
The old blind man's true nature was revealed as he spoke, and his eyes never left the token, and the harazi almost flowed out, looking disrespectful to the old man.
Seeing that the old blind man also helped himself speak, the old cripple was even more vigorous, and suddenly he remembered something, and scolded the old blind man again: "You still have the face to say others, you yourself have been eating and drinking here for more than ten years, and you are not beaten to death and refuse to join us as a sect, and you will not leave, I have endured you for a long time, and you will take this opportunity to make a statement today, if you don't join us as a sect, you will go down the mountain with this kid later, and the teleportation array will not sit for you!" See how you get out! ”
The old blind man's neck shrunk and set his eyes on Chu Mo: "I'm the same as this kid, if he joins, I'll join, and if he doesn't join, I won't join." The old blind man shifted his attention perfectly, and once again focused everyone's attention on Chu Mo's body.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Chu Mo didn't have any pride at all, thought about it, and slowly spoke: "I'll join, but sect master, you can tell me what your name is now." ”
The middle-aged man was overjoyed, stood up and said happily: "Great, Chu Mo, you are now my third disciple of the sect, and you are also the deputy sect master, my name, remember, my name is He Shen, He Shen's He, the pupil of Pupil, my ancestor is He Shen!" ”
