Chapter Ninety-Three: Sacrifice
"Master, I still don't understand what's going on." Lao Wu's face was full of anxiety
"There used to be a female and a male poplar tree here, and the male tree was cut down by the main family to build a stable and a main house, and after the female tree became a sperm, she drove away the owner of this room, gathered the branches of the male tree in the east chamber and put them together, and extended the branches and leaves there to hold up an umbrella cover to protect them from the wind and rain." Mo Wen said calmly.
"It's funny, it's funny, this guy has really become a master." Lao Wu said with a smile.
Mo Wen frowned and glanced at the fifth child, the world is born different, there are some things that the fifth child will never understand, but it is okay if he doesn't understand, there is a lot less trouble.
Due to the delay of a lot of time, it was already three watch time on the way back, the two of them hurried overnight, and the next morning they saw the town again, this town was much larger than the previous town, there was an inn in the town, and the two of them went to the store to rest.
It was rainy in the south, and it was the same in winter, and it rained in the afternoon, and the two of them could not hurry, so they could only stay at the inn.
Lao Wu couldn't stay idle, ran downstairs to listen to the guests, Mo Wen stayed in the room to meditate and practice qi, and ran Zhou Tian to refine the remaining pills in the abdomen, and after twelve weeks, he was full of comfort, and after entering the blue qi, the speed of refining the pills was much faster, if it was estimated at this speed, it would not take two years to rob the purple.
Thinking of the many benefits after entering the purple, Mo Wen was slightly excited, but at the same time, there were also many worries, the Shangqing Sect's Qi practice method is the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra, the main line is Ren Du, with the help of the operation of Ren Du's aura to absorb the external natural aura, this is an extremely slow process, because although the natural aura is ubiquitous but very weak, taking and refining the inner Dan is to quickly replenish the aura with the help of those spiritual things that have grown for many years, in the final analysis, it is a trick, so the aura obtained is not durable and consumed, far less than the thickness of the cross-knee meditation, However, the way of heaven is not in vain, and if you want to achieve it quickly, you need to bear the disadvantages of the indurable consumption of spiritual energy.
Fortunately, there is a way to remedy this drawback, after the tribulation, the speed of the aura will be greatly accelerated, and the time required to refine the pill will also be greatly shortened.
Although taking Wai Dan has this drawback, most of the people in the cultivation at this time use this method, and strive to survive the catastrophe in the shortest possible time, and have many supernatural abilities brought by the catastrophe, so eager to make progress has led to the prevalence of people taking pills in practice, but most people are not proficient in the method of alchemy, and the spiritual things required for alchemy are not easy to find, and they swallow inferior pills indiscriminately to make the cultivation suffer, and the dead female Dao who saw in the wild cave before is the victim who tried to quickly improve her cultivation and swallowed the pill indiscriminately.
Just when Mo Wen was stunned as he looked at the heavy rain outside the window, the fifth child shouted 'Master, Master' and ran into the room.
"What?" Mo Wen didn't blame the old five for yelling, he said it thousands of times since he was a child, and the fifth child is still a habit that is difficult to change.
"Master, I inquired, there are monsters in the lake south of the town," Lao Wu raised his hand excitedly and pointed south, "It may be a snake spirit, and it has eaten a lot of cattle and sheep, let's go and drop it." ”
"Don't have more rights and wrongs, and continue to rush after the rain stops." Mo Wen walked from the window to the table and sat down.
"Master, there are goblins here, if you don't drop it, it will hurt people." Lao Wu ran over to pour water for Mo Wen.
"This Qiankun shijie is not unique to my seven orifices, and it is also the place where all kinds of aliens live, how can I hurt its life because they have lived longer? Unless they have the intention of harming others and do evil things, they can bring it down, if they do not do evil, they will bully the weak and violate the way of yin and yang. Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"It's done bad things, and it's eaten a lot of cattle and sheep." Lao Wuduan handed the tea to Mo Wen.
"You've also eaten cattle and sheep, should I send you down first?" Mo Wen took the teacup and said with a smile.
"Master, I found that you don't seem to like catching demons, why don't you catch demons and learn spells?" Lao Wu asked puzzledly, whether it was yesterday's tree spirit or today's hard-working snake spirit, Mo Wen had no intention of surrendering.
"If you learn a spell, you will naturally subdue demons and subdue demons and bless the people, but these demons here are lowly in their ways, and the things they do are not sinful to death, how can I descend them?" Mo Wen held a teacup in his hand and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
"Oh, I see, you don't think these goblins are enough to look at and not worth your shot." The fifth child suddenly realized.
"Not necessarily, we have to rush back to Xiyang County this time to pay tribute to our ancestors, and it is not appropriate to have more branches on the road." Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"But the further east you go, the more people there are, and it will be difficult to find goblins when the time comes, you have practiced spells for so long, and you haven't used them properly." The fifth pouted and said.
"Otherwise, the ancients said that 'small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, and hidden in the court' came from our Taoism, which originally referred to monsters rather than people, and it was later generations who misunderstood it. At the beginning of the cultivation of monsters, many dormant in the wild, some people who are determined to be stable have practiced in no one for life, this kind of monster does not need to descend it, but it is a fault to descend. There are also some impetuous people who yearn for the prosperity of the world when they have a little Taoism, and change their body shape to quietly enter the world, these monsters must surrender regardless of whether they have evil deeds or not, because they disturb the human ethics and norms......"
"Master, do you mean that the more crowded the place, the more goblins, and the more powerful they are?" Lao Wu interrupted Mo Qian's words curiously.
"Roughly so." Mo Wen frowned and said that it was always difficult for him to answer some of Lao Wu's questions with a simple nod or shake of his head, because Lao Wu's questions were very general.
When Lao Wu heard Mo Wen say this, he put his mind at ease, and no longer pestered him to go to the demon subduation, since there are goblins to catch in the future, and some are lively to see, and he is not in a hurry.
In the evening, the rain subsided, but it was still dripping, so Mo had no choice but to stay another night.
The next day, the rain stopped, and the two of them stepped on the mud and continued eastward, and after a few days finally arrived at the densely populated state and county town, where they had been evading pursuit on their way westward, and had only seen this town in the distance but had not entered, and now with the holy decree of forgiveness of sins, they could enter the city openly and without hiding.
After entering the town, Mo Wen found that even without that holy decree, no one would remember them after a year, after all, it was not just the two of them who were hunted down by the imperial court.
This big town in the south of the Yangtze River is very prosperous, the city is full of cars and horses, and the flow of people is like weaving, because it is close to the end of the year, there are many merchants selling goods on both sides of the street, and male and female customers rub shoulders with each other.
"Master, it's so lively here." Lao Wu was eating sweet fruits while looking at the red women and green men on the street with interest.
Mo Wen nodded slowly, he had been living in a corner before, although he was able to meditate and practice, but after all, he was a young man under the age of twenty, and from time to time he would think of the lively scene in the town, and now he finally returned to a crowded place, but the loneliness in his heart has not decreased, these old and young men and women are not his relatives, and the carved houses and courtyards in the city are not his home, his home is in Xiyang County, where there is no one anymore.
"Old Five, do you miss Miss Wang?" Mo asked Chong Lao Wu.
"What do you want her to do?" Lao Wu's mouth was stuffed with fruit.
"Don't you miss half of it?" Don't ask unwilling questions.
"No, she didn't leave me behind, besides, she didn't want me, and I didn't want her," the fifth child wiped his hands on his coat, "Master, do you still want the second miss of the Lin family?" ”
Mo Wen didn't speak, he always thought that men and women should start from the beginning, before marrying Lin Ruochen and on the day of the wedding, he had made all the preparations for being a husband, and he also thought about treating his wife well, although he and Lin Ruochen were not husband and wife, but all the psychological preparations at the beginning were tailored for her, so although Lin Ruochen was not worth his attention, he had never let go.
"Look, sir, they're waving handkerchiefs at you." Lao Wu raised his hand and pointed to several women on a wooden building next to him and shouted at Mo Wen.
Mo Wen Wen glanced up, turned his brows into a frown, and walked forward quickly.
"I don't know who is so capable and has given birth to so many good-looking girls." Lao Wu frequently turned back.
"Those are all prostitutes who sell prostitution, you should remember, don't enter this green building to seek pleasure, have sex with filthy people, draw bones and suck marrow, and lose yang and longevity." Mo Wen frowned and said.
"Hmm." Lao Wu nodded in agreement.
Mo Wen was still not at ease when he saw this, so he told again, "If the breath is filthy, you can't help me subdue the demon." ”
"Hmm." The fifth child vaguely agreed.
"Still watching?!" Mo Wen couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw Lao Wu turning back frequently.
"Master, I found a problem, you see that the women on the street are not good-looking, why are they all in the Qinglou?" Lao Wu scratched his hair and asked.
Mo Wen frowned again when he heard this, no longer bothered with the fifth child, and walked quickly through the street towards the north gate, the two of them went to Jingzhou because they wanted to send Zhao Zhenren's skeleton back to their hometown, and this time they didn't have to go back the same way, they could go straight north.
Although the land of Shenzhou is now fragmented, the territory of the Jin Kingdom is still extremely vast, with countless states, counties, counties, and towns intertwined, and cities and villages of different sizes dotted around.
"Sir, what the hell are you remembering?" Lao Wu Chong Mo asked.
"Some irrelevant trivia, let's go." Mo Wen retracted his pen and ink and walked forward, when he passed through the towns and villages on the northbound road, he would often stop and take up the pen to record, what he recorded was the monsters hidden in the market that he encountered by chance, but at this time he couldn't say that he knew with the old five, otherwise he would be shouting to catch the demon.
Because the road is extremely long, seven days later, the two of them only ferryed across the river, at this time there are more than 1,000 miles away from Xiyang County, because of the delay in the rain on the road, after crossing the river, the two of them accelerated their speed, and used the method of life day and night, so that they finally crossed the river on time and returned to Xiyang County.
Uninhabited towns are always dilapidated quickly, the streets are overgrown with weeds, and many houses have collapsed. Fortunately, the Mo family pharmacy was still complete, and after the two of them finished the memorial service, they returned to the town and cleaned up the inside and outside of the house again, and then closed the door and left.
"Master, there's no one here anymore, why are you cleaning so clean?" The fifth child looked back at the Mo family pharmacy sadly.
Mo Wen let out a long sigh when he heard this, and turned to look around at the already deserted and dilapidated county seat, "This time we must go south to lose peace with foreign sects, they are happy with the royal nobles of the Jin Kingdom, you and I are really lucky, if we are desperate one day, we can still come back here......"
