Chapter 2 Asking the Passerby
Cheng Mo raised his head and saw that this man was extremely tall, about two meters tall, holding a golden cane in his right hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This man is tall and thin, with thick eyebrows and square face, and from the appearance, he is already forty or fifty years old, but his hair is black, his body is full of aura, and he exudes a kind of soul-stirring aura.
What was even more surprising was that he was followed by several gray-robed followers, with their heads bowed and silent.
The man in the lead looked at him with a smile, "Little friend, what did you just do with the 'Wind Walk'?"
Cheng Mo was stunned, "What?"
The Wind Step is the first set of beginner footwork for practitioners to get started, and is usually used for running, dodging, and escaping. This was secretly taught to him by his mother, and he didn't expect anyone to recognize this pace.
The man smiled slightly, "I've seen this step at my old friend's place before." ”
"Brother Mo, what's wrong?" Zheng Chuxue panted and ran from a distance and stopped beside Cheng Mo.
The man smiled "haha" and said, "Little friend, we are ascetics who travel the world, and we have just arrived in Jiangyin Town, but we want to ask for directions. ”
Before Cheng Mo could speak, Zheng Chuxue had already stepped forward, blinked his eyes and said, "Where are you going?"
"Jiangyin Town, Songhe Alley. ”
As soon as he heard "Jiangyin Town, Songhe Alley", Cheng Mo became alert.
The address the man was talking about was the alley where his house was located.
"What does this man want to do when he goes to the alley near our house?"
Cheng Mo's little brain began to think. The man's expression, the golden cane in his hand, and the few silent attendants behind him felt more and more suspicious. Cheng Mo was thinking about how to reject the man in black, but Zheng Chuxue blinked her eyes and said sincerely: "Songhe Alley, it's over there." Walk through this alley, turn left, turn right, cross diagonally, turn left......"
Without waiting for Zheng Chuxue to finish speaking, Cheng Mo hurriedly said: "Turn right again, cross the river, go two miles, three miles to the east, four miles to the north, and then turn right, and you will arrive." ”
Cheng Mo's address behind him is casual nonsense, trying to make the man abduct to a nameless place. He this string of routes, it was so complicated that it was hard to remember, and even he couldn't remember what he said.
However, the man in black didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, took out two gold coins from his arms, and handed them to the two children one by one: "I wrote it down." Thanks a lot. The first time Cheng Mo saw such glittering gold, he accepted it unceremoniously.
After the man in black left.
"Brother Mo, why did you lie to him just now?"
Zheng Chuxue raised Yuxue's cute little face and raised her head to ask Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo's dark eyes stared at the figure of the man in black walking away, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know him?"
Zheng Chuxue shook her head, "I don't know." ”
Cheng Mo said: "That's it, you don't know him, and I don't know him, why tell him!"
Zheng Chuxue scratched her head, she really couldn't figure out what kind of logic this was, "But no matter what, you can't deceive people! If the teacher knows that you are cheating people outside, then you will die!"
"You always say, 'Die, die, die', do you see that I have ever died?" Cheng Mo waved his hand disdainfully.
......
Cheng Mo's house is in the Songhe alley of Jiangyin Town.
It's only three miles home, not too far, and you'll have to pass through a field of swaying rape flowers. At this point in time, watching the golden sunset shine on the green, yellow-orange-orange rape flower field, it is clearly a wonderful view. However, Zheng Chuxue could see that Cheng Mo had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery now, and only cared about walking with his head bored.
Cheng Mo walked faster and faster, the wind was blowing under her feet, Zheng Chuxue gradually couldn't keep up, she could only trot up, barely following behind.
Walk through the rape fields, into the noisy streets, and into the lonely alleys. After turning a few corners, the two finally came to Songhe Alley.
The home of the two is located in the Xinghua Hutong of Songhe Alley.
"Whew...... It's finally home. Cheng Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Brother Mo, I'm going back. Zheng Chuxue waved at him, and then ran to a small courtyard ten meters away, which was Zheng Chuxue's home.
"Well, goodbye!" Cheng Mo also waved at her.
After sending Zheng Chuxue away, Cheng Mo's gaze passed through the boxy courtyard and landed in the hall facing the gate.
It was a simple two-story courtyard, with six rooms, a large gate, and a small garden.
Cheng Mo has never seen his father since he was a child, and his mother Ye Lanzhi raised him single-handedly. Every grass, tree, pot and bowl in this house was arranged by my mother and herself. Although he was very young, he also helped his mother a lot.
"Mother, I'm back!" Cheng Mo stepped into the threshold and shouted loudly.
It was dusk, and the hall was backlit, so I couldn't see it clearly. I saw a simple table, four small chairs, and a figure sitting vaguely on the chair.
"Huh?" Cheng Mo fixed his eyes and saw that it was not his mother sitting on the chair, but a tall and thin man, dressed in black. The man turned his head and looked at himself with bright eyes. Then, he grinned.
Seeing this figure and the vaguely familiar face, Cheng Mo's face turned red. Isn't this the guy who asks for directions?
Cheng Mo rushed forward in three steps and two steps and walked into the small hall.
Standing about three meters away from the man, Cheng Mo clearly saw his face. The man was about forty years old, not young, with a silhouette as straight as a knife and a dignified appearance. He rested his right hand on the table, and in his left hand he held the golden cane, which seemed to never leave his left hand no matter what the circumstances.
"Uncle, are you in the wrong place? Cheng Mo smiled awkwardly.
"You lied to me," said the man in black, "and the nose of a lying child is going to get longer!"
Cheng Mo was cut off by his sharp gaze, and his heart was a little weak, and he took a step back, "That, so what!"
The man didn't answer, and looked straight at Cheng Mo with his eyes like a torch.
......
"Mo'er!"
Above the small hall, a clear voice came.
A beautiful woman, about twenty-eight or nine, walked slowly down from the attic.
This woman is graceful, with clear eyebrows, a plain cyan dress that mops the floor slightly, and a soft face with a bit of unapproachable dignity and seriousness. He is the mother of Cheng Mo and Zheng Chuxue, named Ye Lanzhi.
Seeing this beautiful woman, Cheng Mo's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Mother!"
When Cheng Mo saw his mother, he was like taking a reassuring pill. Although Ye Lanzhi is delicate and weak, he is not weak when he beats people. Cheng Mo grew up with her fists since she was a child, and she had already been judged as a "dominatrix" in her heart.
"Mother, this person is breaking into a private house!" Cheng Mo pointed to the man in black and said angrily.
Ye Lanzhi didn't answer, and slowly walked to the small table.
Her eyes fell on the face of the man in black, and she looked him up and down, left and right, for a long time, and finally her brows relaxed, as if she saw an old acquaintance. I saw Ye Lanzhi Shi Shiran hugging his fists, and said with a faint smile: "Senior brother, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years......
"Yes, more than ten years have passed, and you haven't changed at all, junior sister. The man in black smiled slightly.
Ye Lanzhi smiled and said, "Senior brother, you can control Master's black eagle, and you have already entered the realm of the Apocalypse if you want to cultivate it, right?"
The man in black said: "Master, no one has yet stepped into the realm of the Apocalypse, I am just a transcendent realm. ”
Ye Lanzhi said: "Senior brother, you are a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years, if even you have not entered the realm of the Apocalypse, then no one under the master's sect can reach this realm." ”
Lu Li snorted coldly, "Don't put gold on my face, how can the Apocalypse Realm be so easy to reach." Only Master can reach our door. Looking at the Tianshu Continent, there are only a few people who can enter the realm of the Apocalypse. ”
When the two of them spoke, there were not too many mood swings, just like two calm and indifferent old wells, telling old stories. The two adults were calm, but the eleven-year-old boy couldn't be calm. His mouth opened wide in surprise, and he could stuff an egg in his mouth.
"This young master, must be your son?" the man in black asked.
Ye Lanzhi nodded, "Dog Cheng Mo, I hope I didn't cause you trouble." ”
"Hehe, it's okay. The man in black smiled faintly.
Cheng Mo's mind was in chaos, it turned out that he was his mother's senior brother......
But this man looks to be at least forty years old, at this age, it is enough to be Ye Lanzhi's master, but I didn't expect him to be a senior brother. Cheng Mo muttered in a low voice: "Such an old senior brother, is it a repeater...... right?"
With a "bang", Cheng Mo's head was hit hard. I saw Ye Lanzhi frowning and glaring at herself, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes. Cheng Mo touched his head aggrievedly.
"Mo'er, you go and make a pot of tea for Uncle Shi, and save yourself from chewing the root of your tongue here!" Ye Lanzhi scolded angrily.
Cheng Mo had to get up and obediently go to make tea. He stayed in the kitchen, and vaguely heard Ye Lanzhi and the man in black talking in a low voice. Cheng Mo became curious, approached the small hall, and eavesdropped on the wall to listen to the conversation between the two.
The man and his mother looked at each other for a long time, and their eyes were very complicated.
After a while, the man slowly began to say, "Senior sister, this town is calm, and you can't see a single demon beast." ”
"Well, I haven't hunted demon beasts for many years, and my cultivation has indeed regressed a lot. I didn't even notice when my senior brother came in. Ye Lanzhi said lightly.
"Senior sister, you have a comfortable life, but Master is very concerned about you. Last time, you took Master's magic weapon and left the hall, causing several of us to be punished. The man said lightly.
"Then the magic weapon is not for everyone, why should Master always think about it?" Ye Lanzhi shook his head.
"Have you used that magic weapon, how do you know that not everyone can use it?" the man in black asked rhetorically.
"......" Ye Lanzhi was silent for a long time, and then shook his head resolutely, "No." ”
"Senior sister, I advise you to hand it over. As long as you hand it over and remember it in your old feelings, Master will not embarrass you. The man said.
Ye Lanzhi shook his head, "I said, the magic weapon is no longer in my hands." ”
The man in black's gaze suddenly focused into a straight line, "If you don't want to tell the truth, then I can only take you and your little boy back and hand them over to the master." ”
