Chapter 13 Meeting the Client
The two returned to the hotel. Due to Yu Mo's injury, the two decided to stay in the city for a while before leaving. And Yu Mo never mentioned the use of desire to Yiling Ling. Although Yi Ling was curious, every time she wanted to ask a question, she was stopped by Yu Mo with her eyes. Over the years, obedience to Yu Mo's orders has become a habit, no matter what the reason, as long as it is Yu Mo's will, Yi Ling will basically not disobey. So there is no doubt that she still chose not to speak out.
The news of Jiang Shucai's death spread throughout the city within a day, and rumors spread for a while, some people said that he died of bleeding and died a miserable death. Some people say that he hanged himself, and left a suicide note at his feet before he died. Some people even say that he killed all the people in his house first, and then killed himself in his house. Then the residents of the city spread all kinds of rumors about his death, and spread all kinds of strange stories about his mental illness. Some say that he has a split personality, day and night are not a character at all; Some people also say that when they pass by Jiang's house, they usually hear the sound of falling things. It is estimated that he beat and scolded his subordinates at home, but outside, Jiang Shucai was polite and ambitious, so people scolded him for being inconsistent; There are even people who say that he doesn't know how many women he has raised outside and has countless illegitimate children. However, even this kind of groundless nonsense is still believed by many people. While Yiling lamented the brains of the residents in the city, she also had serious doubts about their intelligence.
As for Yu Mo, he was pierced through his shoulder and several other places on his body by several arrows because he was protecting Yi Ling, although he had already recuperated about forty percent at that time, but after all, he was injured in the tendons. When Yiling went out to buy something, he was recuperating from his injuries in the hotel. Yiling knows Master's temper, and every time she finishes shopping, she always has to hang out outside. Come back a little later, so as not to disturb Yu Mo's recuperation.
Two days of idleness passed like this, and one morning, Yi Ling, who was still asleep, was forcibly called up by Yu Mo, hazy drowsiness and unconscious brain, Yi Ling could only vaguely hear Yu Mo say: "Get up quickly, take you to see an old man." And after changing her clothes, she had no impression of how she was dragged away by Yu Mo.
By the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting in the carriage. Yu Mo stood next to the carriage door, looking at her helplessly.
"Woke up?" His unwavering voice made Yiling shiver and suddenly sober.
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I slept. Yiling quickly apologized.
"Hurry down if you know, we're here." Yu Mo frowned, the coachman on the side looked at the two with an embarrassed smile, the man in front of him looked like he was not easy to provoke, and the girl slept in the car drooling, which was really untouchable. When he was still hesitant to apply to the man and ask him to help clean up the cushions, Yiling had almost climbed down the carriage with a roll. Yu Mo threw a silver coin to the coachman: "I'll take care of the things in the car for you, I'm sorry." ”
The coachman looked at the two who had walked away in confusion, then at the silver coins in his hand, which were much higher than the price of the price, and glanced at the bright reflection of the seat cushions in the car.
"Have you been tired lately?" Yu Mo walked forward with Yiling and suddenly asked.
"It's okay......" Yiling replied without thinking, but only God knew that in order not to disturb his recuperation in the past two days, Yiling had almost traveled all over Yiyang City.
Yu Mo nodded, and suddenly stood in place, Yi Ling didn't react, and slammed into Yu Mo's back, which was harder than the wall, and completely sobered up.
Yu Mo frowned again: "We've arrived." ”
Yi Ling looked up and saw that in front of her was a gate much smaller than Jiang's house, with a guard on the left and right. Yu Mo stepped forward and didn't know what to explain to the guard, so the two nodded and let them in.
"Master, this is ......" Yiling couldn't help but ask, looking around the gate.
"Friend's house." Yu Mo spit out a few words almost reluctantly.
Yi Ling was suddenly surprised, Master Iceberg has been on a mission all year round, and he still has friends?!
As soon as the gate is opened, Yiling will smell a fragrance of flowers, a huge osmanthus tree is entrenched in the body, lying in the center of the yard, the bottom of the trunk grows horizontally, the more up gradually stands upright, just to reach the height of the roof, the crown of the tree spreads out at will, a pleasant appearance. At this moment, it is autumn, the sun melts on the trees, and the brilliant osmanthus flowers line the clear blue sky, scattering a piece of gold. It's like a peerless painting. Yiling stared blankly for two seconds, and from this tree, she could feel a clear aura, which fascinated the demon. If it is an ordinary person's opinion, this is just a big tree of some age, but Yiling knows that the origin of this tree is not trivial.
Except for the laurel tree, the courtyard is also simple. The white stone floor has a room on the left and right, and the branches of the laurel tree extend above the eaves on the left, and a few fallen flowers are spread on the eaves. The whole house is axisymmetrical. The lacquer on the walls is the red lacquer commonly used by ordinary people, while the carved ornaments on the eaves are meticulously detailed. In the sunlight, Yiling relied on her excellent eyesight to see that a row of wood-carved birds on the eaves had a fluffy feeling, as if they were really a group of living creatures. It can be seen that the carver is highly skilled, and at the same time it shows the extraordinary identity of the owner. Yi Ling swept around again, and the decoration of the courtyard did not look very expensive except for the few birds and the laurel tree. However, the whole house is very clean, even the compound that is extremely prone to dust is almost spotless. The fallen osmanthus flowers are only a shallow layer in the shade of the tree, and they are not flying everywhere with the wind. At first glance, it is the result of the family's careful cleaning.
Likes to show his identity in a low-key position, this kind of person must not be underestimated.
"Remember when I said that the reward for this mission was very special?" Yu Mo suddenly spoke, and Yiling nodded.
"Not only is this reward very special, but the client this time is also very special." Yu Mo rarely hooked the corners of his mouth, and seemed to be in a good mood and walked into the room in front of him.
Yiling tilted her head and quickly followed.
"Yo, Yu Shao is here." As soon as Yiling entered the door, she heard a male voice coming from inside the house. Suave, with a bit of slouch. "Who is it that the wind is so strong that it blew you here?"
"Heh, it's not your wind."
Yi Ling looked surprised, her master, who could catch up with the iceberg of tens of thousands of years, would actually make fun?! She didn't even think about it for a second, and before she could step forward, her neck stretched out and the elder sent her head over, she wanted to see which immortal it was.
In front of him, a man dressed in white sat on a seat in the center of the right side of the room, holding a teacup, slowly fiddling with the lid, dressed plainly, only the belt around his waist was densely embroidered with vine-like patterns. The man was born with a pair of phoenix eyes, narrow eyebrows, long hair gently fluttering with the breeze blowing in, and his eyes were gentle but not a little girlish, like an immortal who came out of a splashed ink painting, making the onlookers forget where they were for a while.
The man glanced at Yi Ling, and chuckled: "I didn't expect Yu Shao to care about these things outside his body and accept an apprentice." ”
"Shut up," Yu Mo raised his eyebrows, "You don't know what her family has been through. Then he turned his head to Yi Ling and said, "This is Jiang Li, who is my same generation, and is your uncle." ”
"Heh, too." The man's voice was unexpectedly mature and steady, he put down the teacup, Yi Ling glanced at it, when the lid collided with the cup, the sound was unexpectedly crisp, and the cup looked ordinary, but it was a light and warm white porcelain. Anyone who loves porcelain knows that the thinner the porcelain, the better the craftsmanship of the porcelain maker.
"So, why did Yu Shao come this time?" Jiang Li stood up and looked at him with a smile on his face.
"You told me before that if you take this task, you will tell me the way to resurrect Liu'er." Yu Mo's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward, with incomprehensible doubt and urgency in his eyes.
Liu'er, Yiling thought hard, it seems to be the name of Yu Moxin's sweetheart?
"Well, that's true." Jiang Li's eyes changed from the previous smile and became serious, he took out a parchment scroll from his sleeve, "This is the formation I found from the ancient book, it is said that if you can keep the body, you can resurrect the owner of the body, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Yu Mo almost snatched the parchment roll, looked carefully, Jiang Li opened his mouth, and he raised his head sharply.
"As I told you before, the preservation of this formation is incomplete, and I don't know what it is. I tried a lot of fairy herb elixirs, but it didn't work. ”
Yu Mo's eyes dimmed again, and he put away the sheepskin roll, "Well, it's not a method that is not worth trying. He said slowly, "I'll look into it." ”
"Yu Mo," Jiang Li's eyes were mixed with a trace of sadness for some reason, "Actually...... You know it's useless, right? ”
Yu Mo was stunned and did not speak.
Jiang Li continued: "When Liu Er died, you were just an adult, how could you have the ability to keep her body? This magic circle can't work without the corpse of the original owner, even if you research it......"
"I know!" Yu Mo suddenly roared, slapped the table with his hand, sandwiching Jiang Li between him and the table, and with a "bump", the table made a huge noise, and even the teacups on the table shook violently and almost fell. Yu Mo's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were like a fierce wolf that had been hungry for a long time, "But even if there is only the slightest chance, I want her to come back." ”
Jiang Li met his gaze almost without fear, "Even if you know it's impossible, do you want to try?" ”
"You know it's impossible, but you bring it to me, what the hell does it mean?!" In Yu Mo's eyes, only anger was left at this moment.
"You know best what I mean!" Jiang Li didn't flinch at all, "The deceased rest in peace, Liu Er has been dead for so many years, and you have avenged her, but why can't you let it go?!" ”
Yu Mo's eyes dimmed, he let go of Jiang Li, and walked out without saying a word, Jiang Li looked at his back and sighed.
Yi Ling watched from the side, didn't dare to interject at all, and when she saw the master going out, she wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Jiang Li: "Yu Mo told me, your name is Yi Ling, right?" ”
Yiling turned around, looked at Jiang Li's lost eyes, and nodded.
"You know everything about Yu Mo, right?" Jiang Li's voice trembled slightly, and he should have calmed down his emotions as much as possible. Yiling nodded again.
Jiang Li sighed and looked towards the door, "Yu Mo, he usually has a face of abandonment, and when he talks about Liu'er, he looks like this." You usually follow him, I hope you can take care of him, I am afraid that sooner or later he will suffer because of this matter. ”
Yi Ling didn't know how to answer, so she could only agree, Jiang Li showed a wry smile, "That's fine, if you have something, come to me, if I'm not there, just find the laurel tree in the courtyard, knock on the trunk three times, and it will respond to you." ”
Yiling didn't have time to think about it, and seeing Yu Mo disappear at the gate, she hurriedly chased after her.
