Chapter 36: Savages
Cheng Mo slept for three days and three nights, and when he woke up, it was already dusk three days later.
He suddenly remembered some things, such as the bearded man who said that he had opened up "Daomeng".
Only the dumb mother-in-law can answer these questions.
Bypassing a few village alleys, to a quiet river, there is a small house, fenced courtyard, birds singing and flowers, this is the home of the dumb mother-in-law.
The mute mother-in-law is not like the old woman in the village, she also has a high pursuit of life.
Cheng Mo walked to the fence door and shouted a few times.
"Dumb mother-in-law, dumb mother-in-law......"
No one answered, Cheng Mo pushed open the small door by himself and walked in by himself.
This is the place he has frequented since he was a child, and it is as familiar as his home.
After Cheng Mo entered the house, he checked what was different in the house, and after entering the ancient tomb, he guessed that the dumb woman was not a simple person.
There was still a pile of paper figurines in the corner, and a mirror on the table caught his eye.
Cheng Mo curiously picked up the mirror and looked at his handsome face.
"Alas, it's still so handsome, hehe."
Cheng Mo flicked his hair lightly, and before he could get ready, a grimace suddenly appeared in the mirror, so frightened that Cheng Mo hurriedly threw away the mirror, frightened.
"Why, they're already first-class laymen, and they're still afraid of this kind of gadget."
An old woman's voice came from behind, and Cheng Mo turned his head sharply, and an old woman with gray hair and a hunched body was standing behind him on crutches.
"Dumb mother-in-law, it turns out that you will ......"
Cheng Mo couldn't believe that the dumb mother-in-law who had accompanied her since she was a child actually spoke.
"Why, so I can talk, huh?"
The mute mother-in-law walked a few steps on crutches, looking arrogant.
"Great, dumb mother-in-law, you're able to speak."
"I've always been able to speak, but I don't want to speak, what's the matter with you kid coming to my wife?"
Only then did Cheng Mo remember the purpose of his visit.
"Dumb mother-in-law, no, mother-in-law, well, mother-in-law, what is your last name?"
Cheng Mo knew that the dumb mother-in-law could speak, and felt that it was a little inappropriate to call the dumb mother-in-law again, and wanted to change her words but didn't know what to call it.
"You still call me dumb mother-in-law, anyway, I don't like to talk on weekdays."
Cheng Mo touched his nose, "Okay, dumb mother-in-law, I want to ask you, what is 'Daomeng'." ”
The dumb mother-in-law walked a few steps, "I didn't want to open up 'Daomeng' for you, once you step into this step, it is not as you imagined, you will know how to spell, what a majesty, he will let you step into a world from which you can't extricate yourself." ”
Cheng Mo looked at the dumb mother-in-law's eyes full of reminiscence, and wanted to say something good to relieve her.
"Dumb mother-in-law, thanks to you for opening up the 'Daomeng' for me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back in the Eagle Mountain Ancient Tomb."
"That's your creation, you are a good seedling of cultivation, I am really embarrassed by my wife, you remember, you must not show your Taoism in front of others in the future."
Cheng Mo thought for a while, "I don't know any Taoism, and the 'Fire Spell' can only be cast with the help of paper talisman catalysis." ”
But seeing the dumb mother-in-law's extremely serious appearance, Cheng Mo had no choice but to agree again and again.
Seeing that Cheng Mo agreed, the dumb mother-in-law smiled.
"Boy, what have you learned, show it to the old woman."
"Dumb mother-in-law, this ......"
Cheng Mo hesitated, not because he was afraid of biting the tip of his tongue and being afraid of pain, but mainly because he really couldn't take it.
"What are you afraid of, you are a man at your age, even if you do it, the old woman may be able to give some advice."
Cheng Mo started the performance in embarrassment, he took out a piece of paper left by the bearded man and sandwiched it between the tips of his index and middle fingers.
Close your eyes tightly and start putting on a show.
After the incantation was recited, the paper talisman began to burn, like a lighter.
Cheng Mo smiled awkwardly and looked at the dumb mother-in-law, if it weren't for the danger of life, he wouldn't have bitten the tip of his tongue, it felt really uncomfortable.
"What, magic? This fire-resisting spell is also considered a top-grade spell among laymen. ”
The dumb mother-in-law smiled when she saw Cheng Mo's performance.
"Dumb mother-in-law, I really don't know much, I just looked through the codex given to me by the bearded man and learned a little casually."
Cheng Mo was not taboo either, and handed the codex left to him by the bearded man to the dumb mother-in-law.
The dumb mother-in-law took the book and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Boy, he wants you to be his apprentice." ”
The dumb mother-in-law flipped a few more pages and saw the "Tai Chi Golden Body Removal Spell", and her expression froze, "This is a rare Dao method at the real level." ”
"It's strange, how could the people of Maoshan South Courtyard become tomb robbers."
Cheng Mo was confused, since he met the bearded man, he sometimes wondered if he had arrived in another world, and he heard some incomprehensible words.
"Dumb mother-in-law, what are you talking about, can you tell me, I can't understand anything."
Cheng Mo looked at the dumb mother-in-law with a cute face.
"This cultivation, after opening up the Daomeng, you can enter the cultivation of lay people, then the Taoist, and then the real person, which is also the highest level that my wife knows."
Cheng Mo has a general idea of cultivation, he is a layman, and the beard is the cultivation of the third-grade layman.
"Dumb mother-in-law, what kind of cultivation are you?"
"Hehe, the old woman is only a monk of the third grade, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to rise to the level of a Taoist priest in this life."
The dumb mother-in-law sighed, and then said: "Maoshan South Courtyard is a relatively famous sect in the cultivation world in recent decades. ”
"The Maoshan sect has always been low-key, and later there were two powerful apprentices who divided the sect into two factions and continued to expand."
"That is to say, in addition to the Maoshan South Courtyard, there is also the Maoshan North Courtyard in the Maoshan Gate now, is that so? Dumb mother-in-law. ”
"Well, that's right."
Cheng Mo suddenly felt a pain in his chest, clutched his chest, and screamed in pain.
Seeing this, the mute mother-in-law grabbed his hand and felt his pulse.
"Dumb mother-in-law, my chest hurts so much, it seems that I was caused by the blood fairy who was recruited a few days ago."
"Sure enough, an evil spirit has done something to you."
The dumb mother-in-law waved her sleeves, and a paper talisman flew out, and she slapped it on Cheng Mo's forehead with a palm.
A black mist was dispersed from Cheng Mo's body, and the pain in Cheng Mo's chest gradually weakened.
Cheng Mo softened slightly, his eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you, dumb mother-in-law." ”
"Hey, Cheng Mo, there is another curse on you, you can see if there are any more marks."
The mute mother-in-law turned around and let Cheng Mo check it herself.
Cheng Mo took off his shirt, and only then did he find that a black mark on his chest seemed to be spreading along his veins.
"Dumb mother-in-law, what is this?"
"This may have been left behind by you when you entered the ancient tomb of Eagle Mountain, and the old woman can't resolve it, and this thing may also endanger your life."
When Cheng Mo heard this, his heart sank, and he cried bitterly in his heart, "Chicken feathers, I have come out nine times in my life, and I haven't come out like this." ”
