After returning to the Grange, Chen Mu did not relax a little because of killing Meng Mo Longxi, but looked forward to what happened next.

Although the Grange is secluded enough, the fairies illuminated by the red light are too dazzling after all, and the people on the Grange dare not go to the street to buy new clothes for them, for fear that others will think that they have opened a brothel and cause unnecessary trouble.

In desperation, they could only let the tenants of the grange get together and prepare enough clean clothes, but Wei Guzhi and the others didn't appreciate it, they still insisted on wearing the red clothes, but no one could persuade them.

Chen Mu also came forward in person, after all, this red dress was too eye-catching, but the Red Lotus Holy Mother just said a word, which completely dispelled Chen Mu's persuasion.

She said, "If we have been living in the grave for so many years, who will we be if we take off this garment?" It's better to die. ”

They refused to take off this red robe, and the risk of the Grange being noticed became very great, Chen Mu discussed with Lu Shengwu and the others, and decided to let them go to the Tianhou Temple to live.

They are not weak women, the Tianhou Temple gives them a place to stay, if they can't even occupy the Tianhou Palace, don't expect any great development in the future.

Chen Mu once remembered a conversation between himself and Luo Jianhe.

At that time, they were being hunted down and suppressed, hiding in the grange, and being blocked from subduing Longji, Chen Mu was also a little afraid, so Luo Jianhe encouraged Chen Mu and said: "The general trend of the world, together for a long time, will be divided, as long as the troubled times are still there, it will be the day when my Hongmen will rise again." ”

What about red lights?

In the troubled times, people's hearts are frightened and eager for sustenance and protection, so the Boxer Rebellion and other associations can win the hearts of the people and rise rapidly.

Wei Guzhi is an old fox in the red light, with her in charge, and the Tianhou Palace as a cover, with their skills, I believe that they will soon be able to attract a large number of believers.

Sure enough, Wei Guzhi heard that there was a Tianhou Palace, and discussed it with the Red Lotus Mother for a while, and when it was decided to let the Red Lotus Holy Mother stay, they went to the Tianhou Palace.

Chen Mu was actually very confused, he really didn't understand what the meaning of the Red Lotus Holy Mother following behind his ass.

After all, what happened in the tomb was only known to Chen Mu and her, as well as to Monmoronsi, and now that Monmoronsi is dead, only the two of them are left who know, God knows that you know and I know, so why bother?

However, the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus still followed Chen Mu, and she really did not leave an inch, except for private activities such as bathing and relieving her hands, she almost followed Chen Mu's side.

"What's the problem?" Chen Mu once asked like this, but the Holy Mother of Red Lotus replied to him: "This is my suffering, after suffering this hardship, I will learn to be obedient in the future." ”

Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, but she had no choice but to let her follow, her eyes were not easy to use, and she was quiet, so it wouldn't be too much of a hindrance.

After returning to the Grange for a day of rest, Chen Mu took Sun Youlin and wanted to sort out the things in Monmoronxi and send them to the concession.

He didn't want to be so high-minded, but for foreigners, he must be deterred, and his prestige must be played as loud as possible.

If he threw the relics of Meng Mo Longxi into the concession and announced the world, he killed the god of duels of foreigners, then whether it was those people in Longji or the people in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that they will be impressed by Chen Mu.

It's just that when sorting out these relics, Chen Mu has made a new discovery!

"What is this?" Sun Youlin pulled out the cylinder from the badge and ribbon soft armor.

"This is a clairvoyant?" Haruko Ashiya was born as a pirate, so she inevitably thought of a telescope, but just a glance at it rejected the speculation.

Chen Mu shook it, and there was a gurgling sound inside, it seemed to be a container of water.

This thing is so weird, Chen Mu can't help but care, thinking that Lin Zongwan and others are going south and north, doing business everywhere, and the new things of foreigners should be recognized, so he called Lin Zongwan and Ah Shui over.

Since the battle against Shi Jianming Doubtful Grave was over, Lin Zongwan and the others had already been obedient to Chen Mu, and hurriedly came over to take a look, but they didn't have a clue.

Lin Zongwan suggested to Chen Mu: "There are more than a dozen pawnshops and pawn shops in Longji, and the courtiers in them are all eye-catching, why don't you find an old courtier to take a look?" ”

Chen Mu also agreed with this proposal, but said to Lin Zongwan: "Wouldn't it be better to find a younger one?" ”

Lin Zongwan was a little puzzled: "Why does the second master think so?" ”

Chen Mu also smiled embarrassedly and said: "The old Chaofeng is conservative, and he is only afraid that he is not interested in foreigners' things, but the young people are active, and they may have seen more imported products......"

Lin Zongwan also admired Chen Mu's carefulness, but said to Chen Mu: "The second master's idea is right, but the court of Longji is different, as long as they can make money, they don't care whether it is a foreigner's thing or Judge Cui's pen, they dare to bet, but don't talk about these ghost things." ”

Chen Mu also laughed, Lin Zongwan didn't say much, let Ah Shui go out, and soon brought back an old courtier in his fifties.

Since Lin Zongwan and others joined, Chen Mu has deeply realized the benefits of having more people to do things, and the news channels of Longji are also very strong, not to mention anything else, just now that he is in and out of Xinhui City, Chen Mu does not need to worry at all.

"There's Boss Lao." After all, the elders are respected, and Chen Mu is also very polite, but the old courteer is sincerely afraid.

"Don't you dare, the second master's business must be a matter of hard work."

Although the old courtier was wearing a robe and gown, and dragging sparse braids, he wore a pair of tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, rat whiskers, high cheekbones, and there was not much surprising in his face, but his eyes were full of experience and vicissitudes.

He looked at the cylinder and was surprised.

"Second master, this thing is an ancient thing in the eyes of foreigners......"

"Boss recognizes?" Chen Mu was also full of expectations, and said in his heart that Lin Zongwan really had some doorways.

The old courtier was not verbose: "This thing is called a cipher tube, and foreigners have been using it thousands of years ago." ”

"There is a glass liner in this tube, the inner tank is filled with strong acid water, and the outside is wrapped in papyrus, and the ciphertext is written on the papyrus, this lid can be rotated, but there is a mechanism, if the teeth are not combined, the glass liner will be crushed, and the strong acid water will erode the sedge, and the ciphertext will not be seen."

Chen Mu and the others were also stunned, and they had to call the old court to come, otherwise they would twist indiscriminately, for fear that they would destroy this code cylinder.

Of course, such a rough man as Meng Moronsi actually carried such a fine cipher tube, and he carried it with him, which shows how important the ciphertext in this cipher tube is!

"Can the boss open this canter?"

The old Chaofeng smiled and said: "Second master, it's not the old man who blows the water, the little gadgets of foreigners, we haven't put it in our eyes yet, the old ancestor Mozi once said, there is nothing that you think of but can't do, and there is nothing that you can do but can't dismantle!" ”

Chen Mu had also read the hundred schools of thought, but he had never heard Mozi say such a thing.

However, the Mo family has always been considered the origin of the community and the ancestor of the Jianghu community, so it is not surprising that such a "famous saying" has been "handed down".

I don't say anything about it, but there is a gesture in Hongmen that bends the index finger and stretches out four fingers, which is the iconic gesture of Hongmen "three and a half incense".

The first handful of incense is dedicated to the horns of mourning and Zuo Botao, is the incense of benevolence and righteousness, the second handful of loyal and righteous incense, the homage is to Liu Guanzhang of the Three Kingdoms, the third incense is to pay tribute to Liangshan Bo one hundred single eight generals, is chivalrous incense, and the remaining half of the incense is dedicated to Qin Shubao and Shan Xiongxin, which is a benevolent and unrighteous incense.

Yang Jiaowai and Zuo Botao were both from the Spring and Autumn Period, and Jing Ke at the end of the Warring States Period died before them, which doesn't make sense in the story, but the people in Hongmen still insist on it, and it makes no sense to talk to them about this.

Sometimes, what you believe has nothing to do with whether it is true or false, faith is faith, whether it is good or bad, right or wrong.

The old courteer didn't just use Mozi Ancestor to blow water, but he really had some skills, but he didn't expect that it was only a quarter of an hour's work, and he really opened the code cylinder!

When the papyrus was unfolded on the table, the old courtier also raised his head and smiled proudly.

Chen Mu asked people to give a reward, but the old Chaofeng waved his hand solemnly and said: "It is my duty to do things for the second master!" ”

Chen Mu also smiled, stuffed the reward money into his hand and said: "You can call me the second master, I want to take care of you, take care of the uncle's brother, this is the first rule, there are blessings for the brothers to enjoy, and it is difficult for them to be their own, this is the consciousness of being a big man, isn't it?" ”

The old Chao Feng stared at Chen Mu for a long time, and said with heartfelt emotion: "The second master is really a person who talks about old rules, I am convinced of the old man!" ”

Chen Mu didn't talk to him much, he looked at the papyrus, and was a little curious and looking forward to it!

"This is a nautical chart, if correct, this should be Nanwan Island!" Haruko Ashiya is all too familiar with the surrounding sea, and even recognizes the location of the papyrus map!

"Haiyan's territory?" Chen Mu also frowned, earlier Luo Jianhe disposed of Xu Guanxi, but in the end, Chen Mu released Xu Guanxi out of various considerations.

As for the other person, it was Hai Yanluo, Chen Mu always thought that Luo Jianhe had killed him, and Luo Jianhe was only vague about this, but he didn't expect that so soon, it would involve the isolated island of Hai Yanluo!

When I think of this, I think of Hai Yanluo's terrifying ability to kill.

However, Chen Muke didn't hesitate too much, and said to Lin Zongwan: "This Meng Molong is so tightly hidden, there must be something important in it, Brother Lin, prepare a boat, let's go to the island to see what happens!" ”

Long Ji's business is all over the sea and land, and it is much easier to find a good boat than the Tanka family such as Pu Wu, so even let Ah Shui go back to prepare the boat.

Chen Mu asked Haruko Ashiya to put away the charts, and then said to Sun Youlin: "Let the brothers throw these things into the concession, preferably to François, after getting this news, they will inevitably search everywhere, let's take advantage of the situation to go to sea!" ”

Sun Youlin was a little puzzled and said, "Second Shao, why don't you send the head in, wouldn't it be more able to deter these ghosts?" ”

Chen Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, if it is a human head that is sent, they will inevitably take revenge, and it will be unbearable to fight back, but if they just send these personal belongs, they don't know whether Meng Moronxi is dead or alive, and it will be more beneficial to us to throw a rat trap." ”

Sun Youlin can be regarded as completely convinced, even if he does things.

The Holy Mother of the Red Lotus watched from the sidelines, and said to Chen Mu at this time: "I can't see it, you are so young, and you still have so many thoughts ......"

Chen Mu looked at her and didn't speak, but thought in his heart, if he didn't think more about the head and tail, how could he live until now?
