Chapter 148: Plan
In the end, Shen Mo refused to have dinner with Shen Li and the three of them on the grounds that he was not feeling well, he thought that at least Shen Li still regarded himself as a daughter, but now it seems that he is just a person who is unkind, and it is really uncomfortable to eat with this kind of person.
Back at the Golden Jade Pavilion, Shen Mo packed a few changes of clothes for Xiaohuan, planning to take her to Changshan early tomorrow morning.
I couldn't sleep in silence in the middle of the night, and I planned to get used to my spiritual power. So I sat up and meditated cross-legged.
Feeling the summoning of the subject, these auras are like small people one by one quickly assembled, waiting for the command of the subject.
Shen Mo felt his qi and blood gushing, as if something was flowing out, and when he reached out and touched it, it turned out to be a nosebleed.
Is it difficult that his own ability has weakened, why is it so difficult to even sense spiritual power.
Silently wiped the blood from his nose, and once again held his breath and sensed spiritual power.
Still no, Shen Mo felt that the gas in his body was flowing wantonly, and there was no way to control the spiritual power.
At the end of the silence, my back was already sweating profusely, I was very tired, my head was dizzy, and I didn't know when I had fallen asleep.
The next day, I slept silently until I woke up naturally, and I took the packed clothes and planned to go directly to Changshan.
The Beijing market is very lively, small merchants and vendors are shouting hard, Shen Mo feels that he has not come out to shop for a long time, and it is not too late to go up the mountain after a stroll.
Seeing someone selling pineapple crisp, Shen Mo hurriedly walked over, Xiaohuan loves to eat this the most, and she will be very happy to buy it for her.
Just when Shen Mo was happily rushing to buy, a "help" came to his ears.
"Who's shouting for help?"
Looking around silently, he didn't notice anyone calling for help.
"Little girl, the capital is very chaotic, let's go home early after buying it early."
The old grandmother who sold pineapple cakes looked around silently, but she didn't want her to meddle in her affairs and cause trouble.
"You heard someone shouting for help, right?"
After listening to the old woman's words, he immediately felt that this help was real.
"Where is the help in broad daylight, the little girl is going to disperse."
After the old grandmother finished speaking, she handed the packed pineapple cake into Shen Mo's hand, and pushed the cart to other places by herself.
Looking at the old grandmother's back, Shen Mo felt that something was even more strange, and her heart strongly urged her to explore the truth.
Standing silently, listening carefully to the sound in the crowd, as long as there was another sound, she could discern the direction and rush over.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, no sound appeared, Shen Mo was a little disappointed, and the faint "help" voice in her head often echoed, disturbing her from being clean.
Seeing that the sun was about to go down, Shen Mo couldn't wait any longer, the road up Changshan was not easy to walk, so she had to try to rush over before dark.
"Miss, you're finally here!"
Xiaohuan has been waiting on this mountain road, because she knows that the young lady will rush back as soon as she finishes dealing with things.
Shen Mo was worried all the way, afraid that a tiger and lion would suddenly come out of this mountain, and he kept worrying until he heard Xiaohuan's familiar voice, and then he put his mind at ease.
"Why are you waiting here, why don't you keep waiting if I don't come?"
Shen Mo knew that it was a little guilty to put Xiaohuan alone in Changshan, but what she was going to investigate next was too dangerous, and she didn't want to put Xiaohuan in danger.
"I've been with Miss for twelve years, so I naturally have a good heart."
Xiaohuan proudly raised her little head and ran over to hold Shen Mo's arm.
The two talked and laughed, like two little rabbits.
Hearing that Shen Mo was back, the old ghost couldn't wait to find him.
"Girl, are you still leaving when you come back this time?"
Shen Mo looked at the old ghost with an expectant expression, and he couldn't bear to hit him, so he shook his head.
"I'll just say it! You girl has a relationship with me Changshan, you can't run away! ”
The old ghost head is like a child who has finally gotten what he wants, jumping and jumping.
"By the way, I have one thing I want to ask you, about spiritual power."
Shen Mo has been entangled in the loss of spiritual power last night, and he heard the old ghost say that he had seen the aura on his body, and it was best to ask him.
"This..."
The old ghost looked at Xiaohuan, he felt that the discussion of spiritual power was very profound, and if there were extra people to disturb, he would be restrained.
Xiaohuan was very discerning and knew that this was a very important question about Miss, so he automatically went out and closed the door.
Originally, Shen Mo wanted to stop Xiaohuan, but it was enough to watch Xiaohuan go out quickly.
There were only silence and old ghosts in the house, and the two sat cross-legged opposite each other, using internal forces to sense each other.
"Adjust your breathing and improve your dantian."
The old ghost felt that the silent spiritual power seemed to be out of control, and had been teaching her by the side.
"I feel like I'm going to run out of breath."
It was like someone was choking his throat, and Shen Mo was now a little hard to breathe.
The old ghost immediately stopped his luck and opened his eyes to see silence.
Through the feeling of internal force just now, the old ghost found that the spiritual power in Shen Mo's body was much more than he imagined, so there were pros and cons, the advantage was that if Shen Mo could learn how to control these spiritual powers, he would obtain the best level of spiritual cultivation, and his ability would be doubled, and the disadvantage was that if he could not control it or did not control it properly, Shen Mo would damage the internal force, and over time, all internal organs would be injured by spiritual power.
"Am I incapable..."
Shen Mo looked at the old ghost's eyes meaningfully, and he really couldn't control these spiritual powers.
"A good news and a bad news, which one to listen to first?"
The old ghost stroked his beard and said leisurely.
"Bad news."
Shen Mo didn't care about the good news, and the existence of the bad news made her very worried.
"The bad news is that if you can't learn to harness these spiritual powers, you're going to die because of it."
The old ghost was not scaring Shen Mu, his internal organs were damaged, and even the gods could not save him.
"And what about the good news?"
Shen Mo listened to the bad news, and his heart became even more anxious.
"The good news is that the spiritual power in your body is ten times that of ordinary people with spiritual power, and if you can use it, you will reach the tenth spiritual level."
Hearing the old ghost say this, Shen Mo didn't like it, he actually had so much spiritual power, but now he had no way of knowing how to control them.
"Is there anything you can teach me?"
Silently looked at the old ghost in front of him, now he is the only one, since he can see the existence of aura, then he must also be a person with aura, because only the aura can be felt, and ordinary people can't feel it.
"Yes, there is, but I have one condition, as long as you agree, I will teach you."
The old ghost was selling off at this time, and knew that Shen Mo was eager to know how to control the aura, so he could only use her.
"Tell me about it."
Shen Mo knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so she decided to listen to the old ghost's conditions, and if she could bear it, it would be inevitable to agree to him.
"As long as you become my apprentice, I will naturally teach you."
The old ghost happily said his request, only hoping that Shen Mo would agree.
He stared at the old ghost silently, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him.
Thinking that he had just been rescued from Changshan, the old ghost had already begun to propose to accept himself as an apprentice, and now the condition for teaching himself spiritual power is also this, could it be that the old ghost has already taken a fancy to her, and has other plans?
"Is that the only condition?"
Shen asked vigilantly, although he didn't look like a bad guy looking at the old ghost's face, it was too suspicious for him to keep asking himself to be his apprentice.
Looking at Shen Mo's puzzlement, the old ghost looked helpless, how could his famous Changshan old ghost fall on this apprentice in his life, thinking that he also begged Chen Xiling to be an apprentice like this back then, and coaxed him for three months before accepting it, and now this Shen Mo doesn't even believe in himself.
"I'll tell you the truth, actually, I..."
The old ghost wanted to tell Shen Mo what he had encountered on the front line of Tianhai before, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Shen Mo would be sad, so he planned not to say it for the time being.
"Actually, what?"
Shen Mo saw the old ghost's dodging eyes, and suddenly felt that he had something to hide from himself.
The old ghost scratched his head, he really blamed himself for his broken mouth, and he said that he was bald, and now he was silent and very suspicious of himself, and he didn't tell her anything, for fear that the matter of accepting her as an apprentice would also be in vain.
"Actually, I know your mother."
The old ghost can only prevaricate in this way, but who knows that it has attracted great disgust from silence.
"I don't believe it, what evidence do you have?"
The silent mother has been dead for more than ten years, and she doesn't remember anything about her childhood except for a vague portrait in her mind. Now that the old ghost actually said that he knew his silent mother, it would naturally make her have a huge reaction.
"Your mother left you a jade bracelet before her death, can you keep it?"
The old ghost remembered that day on the front line of the Tianhai, the silence of her previous life begged her to help her find the jade bracelet left by her mother.
"Jade bracelets? I've never heard of it, my mother didn't leave anything behind when she left. ”
Silently heard the old ghost mention that his mother had left a relic behind, and his heart seemed to be hanging with a big stone. I have never seen this jade bracelet, and I have not seen the maid sort it out, when her mother died and was buried, she was with her every inch of her life, and even the clothes were newly changed, and she did not see any jade bracelets.
"This jade bracelet is very important to your mother, and it is also a relic she left to you, you go to the Shen Mansion to find it, and you can feel at ease when you find your mother."
The old ghost looked at Shen Mo, indeed he looked like he had never seen it, in her previous life, she was so resentful of this world that her soul was not dispersed, and her last wish was to be able to take away the jade bracelet left by her mother, and it was heartbreaking to think about it, the Shen family actually treated Shen Mo and her dead mother like this.
"Yuanshi!"
Only Yuan's face appeared in Shen Mo's mind, and it was only three days after her mother's funeral, she staggered into the Shen Mansion with a big red sedan chair, and the first thing she did was to empty the courtyard of her mother's room before her death and change it into a grocery house, so thinking about it, this jade bracelet must be in Yuan's hands.
"Put aside the matter of spiritual power first, and when I find my mother's jade bracelet, I will go back to Changshan to apprentice."
Shen Mo got up and walked out, taking Xiaohuan with him.
Seeing that Shen Mo's face was not right, it was whiter than just now, and he didn't know what was going on, Xiaohuan only hoped that the young lady was safe.
"Xiaohuan, do you know, I now know that my mother didn't leave me nothing, she left her jade bracelet to me."
Shen Mo stopped in a river and sat down on a stone with Xiaohuan.
Hearing her own young lady's sad voice, Xiaohuan was about to cry sadly, when she was a child, Miss would often complain that she was not obedient enough and not good enough, so her mother died and left nothing to her, and now Miss knows that there are relics, and her heart is naturally sad and happy.
"Madame loves you the most, Miss, if you are sad, Madame's spirit in heaven will also be sad."
Xiaohuan hugged Shen Mo and gently patted her back as before.
After crying, Shen Mo felt much happier in her heart, and now she has one more item in her plan, which is to find the jade bracelet left by her mother.
"Xiaohuan, I may not be by your side for the next few days, I brought you the clothes that need to be changed from the Golden Jade Pavilion, and the pineapple cake you love to eat, I have brought you all here, you must take care of yourself in Changshan alone."
silently explained to Xiaohuan, to say that in this reborn world, her relatives are only Xiaohuan alone.
"Miss, can't I accompany you? Xiaohuan is not afraid of death, he will do his best to protect Miss, and he will exchange my life for Miss's life when it is critical. ”
After listening to Xiaohuan's words, Shen Mo snorted and laughed.
"I want Xiaohuan to live well, and when I finish handling things, I will take Xiaohuan to the end of the world, and I will be happy from now on."
Shen Mo knew that he had said such a promise several times, but if he didn't deal with these things, he and Xiaohuan would be in danger at any time, so solving things was a prerequisite for a happy life, and it was inevitable.
Although Xiaohuan still wanted to fight for himself again, when he saw his young lady's eyes, he immediately shut up obediently.
"Xiaohuan, when I come back, I will buy you a lot of pineapple cakes."
Silently patted his chest and assured that for Xiaohuan, a girl, it would be very useful to take out the secret weapon of pineapple cake.
"Miss, you must protect yourself well, Xiaohuan can't live without you, if something happens to you, Xiaohuan may go to see Madame in the future."
said that Xiaohuan's eyes were red, when Mrs. was alive, she loved herself as a daughter, and she never made demands on herself, let alone treated herself as a subordinate. Only two days before he died, he called himself into the house and told himself that he would be with the young lady in the future, and be a companion for life.
This time she was silent and wanted to leave, Xiaohuan obviously felt that the atmosphere was different from before, and she herself always had a premonition that something would happen to the young lady, which made Xiaohuan deeply worried.
"Alright, alright, I'll be fine."
Shen Mo hugged Xiaohuan, knowing that this girl was worried about herself, so she had to gently comfort her.
"I've promised the old ghost that I'll come back to him for apprenticeship when I've taken care of things."
Listening to what his own young lady said, Xiaohuan felt a little relieved in his heart, the white-bearded old man who called himself an old ghost was not an ordinary person at first glance, if the young lady could recognize him as a master, it would definitely be better, so that someone would protect the young lady.
"Xiaohuan will wait here obediently, Miss, you can deal with things with peace of mind, don't worry about Xiaohuan at all."
Silently touched the head of this stupid little ring, how could she be willing not to worry about this stupid girl at all.
After saying goodbye to Xiaohuan, Shen Mo decided to go down the mountain, after all, she hadn't fallen out with Shen Li yet, and the Shen Mansion still had to go back, otherwise it would arouse their suspicion.
After passing through the market, I silently remembered the cry for help when I bought pineapple cake yesterday afternoon, so I unconsciously approached that place.
The grandmother who sold pineapple cakes yesterday didn't come today, Shen Mo wanted to ask her if she knew something, she must be more familiar with the situation here than she was to sell pineapple cakes on this street every day.
There are people coming and going on the streets, and no one pays attention to the silence, which also makes the silence feel relieved, which may be the sequelae of being hunted down before, and now there is a little wind and grass will be all soldiers.
After turning around and finding nothing abnormal, Shen Mo decided to go back to the Shen Mansion first.
"Help... Please..."
Silent and stunned, there was the same cry for help in his ears as yesterday, but maybe because of the distance, he couldn't distinguish the direction.
Shen Mo thought silently in her heart, hoping to listen one more time, so that she could discern the direction, and yesterday she could not be rescued because she did not discern the direction.
"Help..."
Sure enough, this second call for help came, and the silence could confirm that the person who shouted for help was in the western suburbs.
Without hesitation, Shen Mo lifted his skirt and ran to the western suburbs, hoping that he could save the person who called for help.
Hurried over, Shen Mo began to worry, the second call for help did help him identify the location in the western suburbs, but listening to the voice is even weaker, I am afraid that people are dying, and the western suburbs are so big, it is not easy to find a specific location.
Besides, now that Shen Mo has no helper by her side, it is not certain whether she can rescue the person who called for help on her own.
Thinking about it all the time, but the feet have not stopped, since Shen Mo has heard this cry for help clearly, he will inevitably go to see what it is, the kindness of human nature cannot be changed.
In King Wu's mansion, the illness of Liu Yun, the small county lord, has been cured, and he moved to the garden to recuperate two days ago.
The four people of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon also followed King Wu and accepted orders at any time.
"Master, you have already settled the border matter, why do you still have to go to inspect every day?"
Tsuki is the youngest, and he is also the most favored of the four, so he has always thought of what to say.
"If the thing is dead, the person is alive, and if the matter is solved, does it mean that the people have solved it?"
Ye Tingchen patted Yue's little head, this guy doesn't understand anything but likes to ask questions the most.
"I still don't understand..."
Yue smacked her lips aggrievedly and drooped her little head.
"Although the matter is solved, it is only temporary, people are uncertain factors, they have their own thoughts, if they still want to continue to make trouble, it will cause more contradictions, our daily inspection is to tell them, let them settle down, don't make another incident, do you understand this time?"
Ye Tingchen patiently explained to Yue, who made him his favorite secret guard.
The other three all pouted when they saw that the master was so good to Yue, when would the famous King Wu explain his words twice.
Ye Tingchen and the five people had already come to the border, and saw that the Sihai Institute that was originally proposed had been preliminarily completed, and in a few days, those residents of the Northern Desert Country who had entered the territory of Shuxia Country would be able to move in.
The army at the border was strict and orderly, but it was also safe.
Ye Tingchen felt that the Taiping in front of him was not the real peace, the border boundary between the Shuxia Kingdom and the Northern Desert Country had been disputed from the beginning, and this attention was only caused by the strong reaction of the border residents.
Now it seems that Ye Tingchen blames himself for why he didn't realize this problem earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big deal now, causing his own residents to be so disgusted.
Suddenly, Ye Tingchen heard a noisy cry behind him, and the five of them looked back together.
Two people dressed as ordinary people in Shuxia Country were pulling and pulling over, the man kept dragging the woman alive, and he didn't know what he was abusing, the woman kept resisting with her mouth open, but it was still to no avail, she could only be dragged away by the man.
The man was pulling, and suddenly looked up and saw the five people standing in front of him, and immediately turned around and walked back.
Ye Tingchen noticed that something was wrong, and gave the dark guard a look, and Feng and Xue rushed out directly to bring the two back to the front.
"What did the two of you do to find out that this king turned around and ran?"
Ye Tingchen looked at the two of them with panicked expressions, there must be something to hide.
"Back to the prince, the two of us were about to go home, and there was a bit of a quarrel on the way, which made you laugh."
