"I said I don't have money, my apprentice has money, only if you let me go, I can bring him over and pay you, otherwise you can't change money if you don't let me go!"

The old ghost is about to collapse, how can he not tell this boss anything, if he doesn't have a point on his body, why should he be embarrassed here.

This damn Chen Xiling and Silence, the two of them slipped away by themselves, leaving his old ghost head alone in this teahouse to be arrested by a group of people like scoundrels.

"You old man is very cunning, how do we know if you are telling the truth or a lie, in case you are released, your apprentice does not come, and you also slip away, who do I talk to? I'm doing a small business, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and give money. ”

The boss rolled his eyes at the old ghost, he had to take out the money for this meal, otherwise he would definitely not let him go.

The old ghost also rolled his eyes, why didn't they believe him when he spoke.

"Is a thousand taels enough?"

Chen Xiling directly slapped a silver ticket of one thousand taels on the table, with a piercing light in his eyes.

"My precious apprentices, you are finally here, that black-hearted boss bullied me, didn't let me go, and let so many people drag me together, my shoulder hurts so much..."

Hearing the voice of the apprentice, the old ghost was about to cry with joy.

The old ghost used his internal strength to earn and pull a few of his people, and ran to Chen Yile and Shen Mo.

Shen Mo worriedly checked whether the old ghost had any injuries on his body, for fear that those people would really accidentally hurt the old ghost.

The old ghost looked at Shen Mo who cared so much about himself, and the corners of his mouth secretly grinned.

Chen Xiling really admires this old man more and more, with his skills, even if the entire teahouse is together, he may not be able to touch a single hair, and now he is pretending to be pitiful, isn't he just trying to win the sympathy of Shen Mo!

"It's... Childe, we can't find your 1,000 taels of silver tickets in the store..."The boss didn't have a domineering attitude, but stared at the 1,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand and suddenly became embarrassed.

The boss scratched his head, thinking to himself what he had encountered. Either the old man couldn't take out a penny, or the apprentice came and took out a thousand taels directly.

"What, it's not that I don't give this money?"

The guests in the teahouse all looked at this charming boy, and took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels, which shows the strength of this man. I don't know how the teahouse owner will end up next, and everyone has questions.

Chen Xiling didn't want to be eye-catching in front of so many people, he just wanted to give money and leave quickly, who knew that the guests of the teahouse had gathered to watch the excitement, and the boss said that he couldn't find the money, which was really annoying.

"Come on, I've got some broken silver here, it should be enough to scrape it together."

A sly light flashed in Shen Mo's eyes, and his slender fingers quickly took the one thousand taels of silver ticket in the boss's hand and put it in his arms, and then took out the broken silver left over from his previous purchase and put it on the table.

"Boss, is that enough?"

"Girl, your silver taels are just enough for this meal."

The boss saw that the one thousand taels of silver in his hand entered someone else's pocket in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, he could only accept the broken silver on the table stupidly, fortunately, this female apprentice had enough silver, otherwise he looked at the man's cold expression, and he did not accept the thousand taels of his own.

"Now that the matter is settled, let's leave quickly, we still have important things to solve, right, senior brother!."

Shen Mo deliberately shouted at Chen Xiling, which directly made the old ghost and Chen Xiling stunned.

"Uh... Good. ”

Chen Xiling didn't expect Shen Mo to call himself senior brother, so he didn't react for a while.

The old ghost nodded with a smile, and his heart was even more happy, sure enough, although Shen Mo had not expressed his attitude before, but Fang Cai's senior brother obviously had promised to be his apprentice in his heart.

When the three of them walked out of the teahouse, it was already close to dusk, and the clouds on the edge of the sky were rolled up layer by layer, showing fish scales, burned red by the sunset, as if they were about to catch fire, which was obviously a sign of rain, if they rushed back to the capital at this time, I am afraid it would be too late.

The two of them have been on the road for a day, and they have been exhausted for a long time, the old ghost is okay, although he only feels some muscle soreness, but he is not uncomfortable, the old ghost glanced at the silence who lowered his head and did not speak, he just shrugged his head and did not speak, there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes, and he seemed to be a little tired.

"Baby apprentice, do you think we should find another tavern here for a night? If you get up early tomorrow morning, you won't have to rush. ”

The old ghost still had to ask Shen Mo's opinion, and if she was afraid of the border and didn't want to stay here for one night, he could escort her back.

"No, we'll stay here for two more days at the border, so we can investigate this matter again."

Shen Mo wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and now that the gang had lost the woman they were going to sell, they would naturally have other actions.

So the three of them found an ordinary tavern nearby to live, the tavern is not big, it is located in the east of this town, the tavern is everywhere revealing a simple and elegant style, the two couplets on the door number are a little dilapidated, the big signboard says that a kerosene lamp in front of the door of the century-old brand is blown by the wind, and now it is already dusk, the sunset shines on the quaint wooden door, but with a few raindrops, the sky begins to rain.

Because he was afraid that it would be unsafe to be silent, Chen Xiling deliberately chose two rooms next to each other, so that he could hear any movement in the silent room and immediately come out to save people.

The old ghost smiled and didn't speak, nodding secretly in his heart, the silence in front of him has changed a lot from the beginning.

With a little more scheming and a little more city, he has faded a little immature, and he is no longer the little child he was at the beginning, but now he can definitely take charge of himself and handle everything in an orderly manner.

It's just that the apprentice in front of him doesn't seem to have noticed that all his thoughts have already been guessed thoroughly by the old ghost.

The old ghost shook his head, his apprentice has been raised for more than ten years, what kind of mind can hide from his eyes.

"Good apprentice, come in with the master to practice in a while, and see how your spiritual power is controlled."

Shen Mo is a person who is already close to perfection, but the problem of spiritual power is like a severed head, smashing the vital part of Shen Mo's cultivation path, if it is not lifted, it is like a fish in the throat, day by day, there is no peace.

The old ghost is very worried about the problem of silent spiritual power, and hopes to make some progress.

nodded silently, and obediently followed the old ghost inside. Although she has not deliberately used her spiritual power in the past few days, the spiritual power in this body seems to be able to know her mental activities and help her react accordingly.

"Calm your mind and concentrate your thoughts."

The old ghost head thought in his mouth, hoping that this time he could help Shen Mo improve a layer of internal power, so that she could control the spiritual power earlier.

Silently listening to the old ghost's words, adjusting his breathing rate, his mind went blank.

At this time, it was raining outside the window, it was still dusk, but there was a hint of cold breath, the sky and the earth were like ink, as if the whole room was quiet in an instant, and no sound could be heard again.

A needle falls to the ground, and you may be able to hear it clearly, only the sound of some bottles and cans on the table in your ears is due to the leakage of spiritual power.

The old ghost naturally also knew that a person should never be disturbed by the outside world when he was cultivating, otherwise he would easily go mad.

So he also restrained a bit of playfulness on his face and became serious, closed the doors and windows and used spiritual power to set up enchantments everywhere, when no one was silent, it was like being frozen, in addition to his thoughts, he could move freely, and his body couldn't move at all.

It's like being pushed into a bottomless pit, and the feeling of landing infinitely is so real, with your mouth open but you can't make a sound.

Suddenly, there was a pause, and instead of falling into the hole, she was on a levitating platform.

"Where is this?"

Shen Mo had never been to this place, there was no movement in the emptiness, and everything he saw was white, which made people tremble unconsciously.

"Silence, long time no see."

Shen Mo suddenly heard someone shouting his voice, and when he looked at the voice, he found that it was a person who was exactly like himself.

And the person in front of him was looking at Shen Mo with a smile, although the appearance was extremely similar, but the temperament of the two was very different.

One is a childish teenager, and the other seems to be extremely mature and steady, without a trace of panic, even if he sees a person who looks exactly like himself, he seems to be only slightly stunned, and he doesn't have much reaction, but he feels extremely confused.

In addition to doubts, Shen Mo actually felt a little irritable, and the appearance of this person in front of him made Shen Mo's heart that had been calm for a long time slightly restless.

"You... How is it exactly like me? ”

Shen Mo didn't know who the person on the other side was, could it be that he was in a dream now? Is all this just a dream?

"I am you, you are me."

The silence in front of him circled around him, looked at himself and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said unhurriedly with a somewhat joking expression, which made Shen Mo feel irritated and didn't know what to do.

"You're just the hypocritical you, and I'm the real you."

The person on the other side suddenly burst out laughing, and the sarcasm in his eyes was unmistakable.

"I'm going out! I'm going out! ”

Shen Mo didn't want to stay here for a moment, she was her, she was silent, no one could replace herself, although the woman had the same face as herself, but her mouth said words that people couldn't understand.

"Spiritual power is not brute force, and it is not something that you can summon after a few days of hard work. If there is good in the heart, it is good, and if there is evil in the heart, it is evil. ”

Shen Mo stopped his movements and looked at the woman opposite in a daze. I don't understand why she said such a thing to herself, what her intention was.

"I am the truest soul in your heart, and the one who connects your past life with your present life. I am the most real you, and you are just a corpse that you have to put in the world and pretend. ”

The woman opposite laughed, silently feeling an indescribable pain in her heart, as if her heart was twisted together by a sharp blade, and she died in pain but was safe.

"Could it be that you're controlling your spiritual power?"

Silently covered his heart, and stood up desperately on the ground with one hand.

"Hahaha, silent, you are really stupid, are you still unrepentant of your mistakes in your previous life!"

"Ahem..."

Shen Mo woke up as if there was something in his throat, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Good boy, you just went crazy, and now you're finally awake, are you better?"

The old ghost and Chen Xiling looked at her worriedly beside Shen Mo, for fear that she would have an accident, after all, spiritual power is not so easy to control.

"I... I just saw another me. ”

Shen Mo didn't know why tears flowed from his eyes, and the tip of his nose was sour, but Shen Mo didn't want to cry, as if there was another person in his body who was manipulating.

"Could it be... Are you eye-catching with your soul? ”

The old ghost was worried that the other she in his mouth was her soul. This is not a good sign, the reappearance of the soul represents the fragility of the subject, can it be said that the silence can no longer bear it in the heart now?

"My head hurts..."

Shen Mo held his head and began to shake violently, but for a moment, the head felt like it was about to explode.

"What's wrong with you, boy?"

The old ghost looked at Shen Mo's painful appearance, and motioned for Chen Xiling to help Shen Mo to the bed with him.

The old ghost clicked on the acupuncture points on Shen Mo's body, fixed her, and then exerted his internal force to directly dredge the qi and blood for Shen Mo.

Feeling that the qi and blood in Shen Mo's body were clogged, the old ghost hurriedly untied the acupuncture points on Shen Mo's body.

"Do you need me to help?"

Chen Xiling looked at Shen Mo from the side, watching her face become more and more pale, maybe his internal strength could help her recover.

The old ghost glanced at Chen Xiling and nodded, now the spiritual power in Shen Mo's body is so restless, I'm afraid that with his own strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress. Now it should be no problem to add your baby apprentice, as long as you wait for Shen Mo to wake up, everything will be easy to say.

Chen Xiling quickly held her breath to concentrate on her luck, and transferred her internal force to Shen Mo, hoping that she would get better.

Seeing that Chen Xiling was so worried, the old ghost was a little reluctant in his heart, he knew in his heart that Shen Mo was the queen of Shuxia Kingdom in his previous life, so her fate with Chen Xiling naturally could not be continued.

However, in this life, both people and things will change, so so is silence, and she in this life must change from her life trajectory in her previous life.

At this time, the rain outside the window actually stopped, and the old ghost opened the window and could see a rainbow hanging under the sun. The colorful colors and the colorful clouds of fire seem to have a unique flavor, and it is not difficult to live in this desert for a long time.

"Poof..."

Silence spit out a stream of black blood and a faint wave of qi, directly shaking the old ghost and Chen Xiling away.

"This..."

Chen Xiling didn't know that Shen Mo's body actually had such a great ability, and it was really difficult to explain that it could shake itself away while transporting internal force by itself.

"Don't panic, maybe the spiritual power in the silent body has begun to operate, and it will naturally repel the internal force we transmitted to her."

Chen Xiling listened to the old ghost's words and nodded. A worried face, afraid that such a petite body would not be able to withstand so much spiritual power.

The old ghost gave Chen Xiling a look and motioned for him to go out with him.

"It's going to be okay to be silent."

Chen Xiling came out with the old ghost, and when he closed the door, he glanced at Shen Mo worriedly.

"Don't worry, people with spiritual power will not be ordinary physique, so they will not be easily injured, and the black blood she vomited just now is just the remnants left in the body from the last poisoning."

Speaking of the last time Shen Mo was poisoned, the old ghost was very angry, this Shen Mansion's stepmother was really ruthless, and the poison that she specially asked for from Sun Lian was clearly not leaving Shen Mo a way to live at all.

Hearing the old ghost say this, Chen Xiling put his mind at ease, thinking of his worry just now, Chen Xiling blushed, it turned out that he had already developed feelings for Shen Mo, and he couldn't help himself when she was in danger.

"I was worried just now."

The old ghost said lightly, his apprentice knows best, and he can know what he is thinking with one action and one look.

Chen Xiling didn't speak, and walked out directly, just now he understood his mind, and now his mind is a little messy, and he needs to go to a quiet place to tidy up.

The old ghost looked at the back of Chen Xiling leaving, and sighed, his apprentice is good at everything, but he can't express the thoughts in his heart, and he holds everything in his heart.

When Shen Mo woke up, it was already dark, and the old ghost was dozing off with his head on his head, little by little, but still holding on.

Shen Mo felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, as if he had participated in a fight, there was soreness everywhere, and there was a smell of blood in his mouth.

Unconsciously frowned, silently stood up on the bed rail, and put his cloak on the old ghost's head, now that the weather is autumn, the air is a little cold.

Seeing that the old ghost hadn't woken up, Shen Mo decided to go out to breathe.

opened the door, but found Chen Xiling waiting against the door. He was silent for a moment, and then closed the door lightly.

"Let's go for a walk."

There was a hint of weakness in the silent voice, which made people want pity even more when they heard it.

Chen Xiling saw that Shen Mo was wearing thin, and directly took off his mask and draped it on her body.

didn't refuse, Shen Mo tightened his clothes, and walked slowly side by side with Chen Xiling.

"I really want to know why you guys are so good to me, from the beginning you rescued me from the firewood room, then helped me detoxify, then the old ghost taught me to use spiritual power, and now you came to this border with me, why?"

Shen Mo raised his head, and his clear eyes were projected into Chen Xiling's heart like a mirror, and he couldn't look directly for a while.

Don't overdo it, Chen Xiling concealed his unnaturalness.

"You also know the old ghost, he will chase after him when he sees it, who knows how you got into his eyes."

Chen Xiling said it casually, although he did think so at first, but now he has changed his opinion and understood his true intentions.

smiled silently, Chen Xiling said it so reluctantly, he must still be eating the vinegar of the old ghost who was good to him.

But think about it, the old ghost must have coaxed him for a long time to make him his apprentice, so many years of pampering, and now that he is here, he must have taken away his favor.

"The old ghost is too good to me, you're jealous, aren't you?"

He laughed silently, tilted his little head and asked, the small pear vortices on both sides of his mouth loomed, and he looked so slim in the moonlight.

Chen Xiling has never been so fascinated by a woman, and now standing silently in front of her, she actually has the idea of wanting to protect her life with peace of mind.

When he came back to his senses, Chen Xiling found that the little thing in front of him had run away, so he hurriedly walked a few steps to follow.

In the study room of King Wu's mansion, the four people of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon gathered together, and Ye Tingchen also discussed the case with them.

"Master, there are two people in the Northern Desert Country who are doing business in our Shuxia Country now, namely the Zhilanjing family and the Louhou family."

Ye Tingchen recalled that he seemed to have heard of these two families, but it should be a long time ago, so he couldn't remember the specifics.

"Specifics."

Ye Tingchen wanted to know their specific whereabouts in the Shuxia Kingdom, and it was not easy for the people of the Northern Desert Country to live and work in the Shuxia Kingdom.

Not to mention that the people of Shuxia were united to resist foreign countries, and Emperor Yezheng also explicitly forbade trade with foreign countries.

Therefore, if these two Northern Desert countries want to develop in Shuxia Kingdom, they must be powerful and have a solid foundation.

"Back to the master, the Zhilanjing family is in the tobacco business, because the Northern Desert Country produces a kind of vanilla, which is just right to make medicine or tobacco, so their family has always been in close contact with the Northern Desert Country and the Shuxia Kingdom. As for the Empress Lou family, their relationship is much simpler, their family sent princesses who are friendly to our country for the king, so they are lenient in Shuxia State. ”

Ye Tingchen didn't have any certainty in his heart after hearing this, these two families seemed to have more or less connections with Shu Xia Kingdom on the surface, if they wanted to know more clearly, they still needed to investigate deeply.

"One more thing, master, you must be interested!"

Yue listened to the wind and finally finished reporting the news, and excitedly said what she had been holding back for a day.

Hua and Xue saw that the moon was about to make the master angry again, so they hurriedly went over together to cover his mouth.

"Let Yue say."
