Chapter Thirty-Three: The Storm in Comfort
Mo Fan was a little depressed, and walked around the two cross streets that crossed the north and south of Xixiang Town and found that there was no job suitable for him to earn money.
This made him, who was about to fall into a money crisis, full of loneliness in his heart.
They all said that they would not bend their waists for five buckets of rice, but now he thought about it, but just now he lowered his head and tried to ask a few shops.
However, none of them were bird-like, and the shopkeepers shook their heads as soon as they hit him.
said that he looked strong, but he was neatly dressed in a green shirt and long robe, although his face was resolute, but it was white, and he didn't look like a working person.
Moreover, with the large number of people from nearby villages moving to Xixiang Town, the most important thing in Xixiang Town now is people who work.
So I usually beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother that no one is doing the work, but now it's the other way around, and they all pick radishes and pick up big ones.
The disgusting eyes of those shopkeepers flashed in his mind, Mo Fan was so angry!
So I crowded into the bustling streets, and I was ready to go home.
However, as he walked towards the outside of the town, under the mild sunlight, his body suddenly became cold, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
When he looked up, he saw a pair of cold cold lights staring at him.
Looking at a middle-aged man with a thin body, a face like a shoehorn, a slightly collapsed nose, and a wisp of dogtail mustache.
Mo Fan frowned deeply, and the person who came towards him with a cold light in his eyes, he was sure he didn't know it.
But what made him depressed was that a person he didn't know saw him in his eyes as if he had a grudge against his father.
From the other party's cold gaze, he could feel a strong killing intent.
This shows that the other party knows him, and there must be hatred or contradiction between them.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to look at him with such eyes.
It's just that after looking through his mind, he didn't find anything related to the person in front of him.
So he just glanced at the middle-aged man, and then passed by the other party casually.
Because he knows very well that if there are waves in his eyes, he is at a disadvantage.
After all, the other party knows his details, but he doesn't know the other party at all.
In that case, it is better to simply pretend.
Just like an onion, slowly peel off its exterior until you can see the white and tender flesh of the onion inside, and eat it in a neat bite.
In this way, you can kill the poisonous snake that is about to bite you without startling the snake.
And it was precisely because he thought of these that he did not stop and looked for the answer from the other party's cold gaze.
On the other hand, Yang Xiujie watched Mo Fan walk past him casually, and the chill in his eyes couldn't help but increase a little.
If it weren't for the different identities, even if those two scholars were backers for this teenager, he would not hesitate to kill this teenager on the street.
Some hatred and ruthlessness are not something that can be let go of because of two or three words from others.
When you really see the other person, the emotion of wanting to kill the other person is like a flood, which can't be stopped.
It's just that he also knows in his heart that even if there is a big hatred and ruthlessness, at this juncture, if he dares to touch that young man.
Without the help of two scholars and those people in Scarlet Cloud City, I'm afraid that his big boss will be the first to kill him.
So he could only show a cold light in his eyes, watching the young man walk out of Xixiang Town and disappear in his eyes.
......
Mo Fan looked behind him out of the corner of his eye, and found that the middle-aged man with a thin figure and a dogtail beard did not follow.
The frowning eyebrows couldn't help but show, and the other party didn't follow, indicating that he had scruples in his heart.
Scruples, on the other hand, often represent weaknesses.
In this case, he already has the upper hand, and he will be able to use this to understand the other party in the future, and then quietly kill him.
It's just that when he walked out of Xixiang Town, he looked at the scattered thatched houses around him, and looked at the villagers who gave up their comfortable homes to come here.
A sadness rose inexplicably in his heart, he never understood why those big people in the three cities didn't find out to the people that ghosts and monsters were real, but kept hiding them.
Paper can't contain the fire, and sooner or later everyone will know that the ghosts turned out to be real, and the panic caused at that time was probably not something that the three cities could control.
This is also a question that pops up in his mind when he knows about ghosts.
Alas!
sighed in his heart, now he is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, instead of worrying about others, it is better to improve himself.
Besides, the three cities have been established for a hundred years, and the reason why they don't tell ordinary people that there are countless ghosts and monsters in the world they live in must make sense.
Thinking about this, he also suddenly understood, and walked back towards his soul temple with a step.
Strange to say, since the fire in the redwood forest and the visit of Jiayan and Haolin to the Soul Temple, not only have the four strange incense sticks disappeared.
Even the black shadow I saw when I first came to the Soul Temple, the cry I heard, and the severed hand that appeared later suddenly disappeared.
The most important thing is that the nearby villages are haunted by ghosts, but the Soul Temple is safe and sound, and there are no ghosts to make any trouble.
This made Mo Fan speechless, when the wind was calm in the past, everyone talked about the soul temple that changed color, but now there is no supernatural ghost phenomenon.
If this were known to those who had sent him to garrison here, he would probably die of depression.
He didn't expect that in just over half a month, such a big change would occur.
It's just that as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, in the blink of an eye, time has passed for another half a month.
During this period, three major events happened in Crimson Cloud City.
One, half a month ago, Mo Fan heard the two people at the same table talking about the formation of a new legion in Scarlet Cloud City from the teahouse in Xixiang Town, which was true, and he began to issue a conscription order ten days ago.
Second, in the Black Wind Valley, where the family robbed the evil heroes, except for the second, fourth, and fifth masters, the rest of them all surrendered to Scarlet Cloud City under the leadership of the big masters.
Third, the supernatural ghost incident is getting more and more serious, and it has spread to all places within a radius of thousands of miles from Scarlet Cloud City.
And during this time, Mo Fan was still not idle, and four more tasks appeared on the waist card, but unfortunately he did not complete two tasks, so that the soul points obtained from the two tasks he completed were also subtracted.
Fortunately, he didn't consume soul points to turn the soul disk, plus one soul point that has been reduced every three days these days, so he still has ten soul points available on his waist card.
It's just that he didn't dare to use any of the remaining ten soul points, because three new tasks suddenly appeared on the waist card recently.
Soul Member: Mo Fan
ID: 957
Strength: Newcomer
Initial Soul Points: 3 points
Current Soul Points: 10 points
Now the task is opened: to destroy a tree wolf formed by condensing resentment, with a time limit of half a month.
Task Completed: Reward 15 soul points, and deduct 15 soul points for failure.
2. Destroy ten corpse bees controlled by corpse ghosts, with a time limit of half a month.
Task Completed: Reward 15 soul points, and deduct 15 soul points for failure.
Three random tasks to destroy a low-level third-order unjust soul, with a time limit of twenty days.
Task Completed: The Soul Plate is upgraded to Level 2, and the Soul Points will be rewarded with 25 Soul Points, and no Soul Points will be deducted if it fails.
In front of the main hall of the Soul Temple, Mo Fan, who was sitting on the steps, looked at the three tasks on the waist card, and three days had passed, but he had not made any progress at all.
He had never heard of these ghosts, and he didn't know what Zhang was like, haunting there.
He frowned at the warm sun.
I was annoyed in my heart, but I saw dust in the distance, and a person came on horseback in Danan.
