Chapter 7: Chance
The old madman looked at Chen Mo fixedly, turned around, and suddenly shouted, "Stop." β
"What else?" Chen Mo asked lazily, "If you say any more nonsense that a casual cultivator is better than death, then you don't have to open your mouth." β
The old madman saw Chen Mo slowly turn around, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Old man Huang Guanquan, a disciple of the outer sect of the Ethereal Pavilion, now there is a way to let you enter the Ethereal Pavilion, it depends on whether you are willing or not."
Chen Mo looked at the old madman coldly, "Outer disciple? Your dantian was abolished, and the Ethereal Pavilion must have expelled you from the door and returned you to the outer disciples. You went to Qingyang County, and you shot at the people surnamed Tu for no reason, I think you offended a powerful character in the Misty Pavilion, according to me, that powerful character must be surnamed Tu, right? You want to be wronged, and you want to take revenge, from this point of view, your so-called method must be dangerous and dangerous, sorry, I'm just a kid who has just practiced qi into the body, and I haven't lived enough, you better save some saliva, don't say it again. β
Chen Mo said as he quietly observed the old madman's facial expression. What he said earlier was a speculation made in combination with the case file of the old madman's crime, and when he saw the old madman's dirty face that couldn't be darker, Chen Mo had already guessed that his guess was not completely correct, at least it was close to the truth of the matter.
The old madman looked at Chen Mo with his mouth wide open, he really didn't expect a teenager to come up with so many things. If it weren't for the meager aura of Qingyang County, he would even have to wonder if there was an immortal cultivator who told Chen Mo the inside story.
However, Chen Mo's guess also has a lot of mistakes and omissions. Thinking of this, the old madman's face slowly returned to normal.
"Boy, you can guess so much, if you really want to enter the immortal cultivation realm, I don't know how many people's nightmares it will be. In this case, I will use my cheap life to give you a future. Yes, what you said is right, I did offend a family surnamed Tu, they made up charges against me, abolished my dantian, and expelled me from the sect. Originally, they had sent pursuers to get rid of me completely, but I was stopped halfway through. Boy, let me tell you the location of the Ethereal Pavilion, you took my head and went to the Ethereal Peak to find the Tu family, with this merit, it is not difficult to join the Ethereal Pavilion. β
"Took your head?" Chen Mo's eyes widened, "You mean, you plan to use your life in exchange for a chance for me to enter the Ethereal Pavilion?" β
"What? You don't want to? In order to extract the exercises from me, you have used a lot of vicious tactics. Now you can't say you dare again, do you? The old madman scoffed.
Chen Mo glanced at the old madman deeply and didn't say a word.
"Manly man, do whatever it takes to achieve your goal, you kid has the courage and the courage, why don't you speak now?" The old madman seemed to be deliberately provoking Chen Mo, "You won't be worried that there will be a boss in the prison who will trouble you, right?" β
Chen Mo waved his hand, "No need to say any more." Whatever your intentions, I won't do it. It's your business to take revenge, I don't care. It's my business to join the sect, and I don't have to worry about it. Since the exercises are useful, I will not treat you badly. The rest of the matter is over here, and there is no need to say more. β
"But I won't live for a few days. Isn't it good that the remnant body can exert residual heat for you? "The old madman is like a demagogic street peddler who has caught pedestrians to sell something. Judging from his expression, there is no trace of talking about his own life.
"I admit that I used tricks against you before, but I have my own way of doing things. You and I have no grievances, and you don't need to be so gracious to me. If it was to avenge the wrongs, I knew that I wouldn't have the ability," Chen Mo didn't pay attention to the old madman.
The old guy was burned and confused before, and it was rare to be sober for a while, and now he is confused again.
Chen Mo carefully locked the door of the prison cell, and left without looking back.
Back at his residence, Chen Mo sat for a while, picked up the pen again, and wrote the word "Feng" on the abandoned briefcase. Then he tore the paper to shreds and put it in his pocket.
After the old madman's proposal was rejected by Chen Mo, he didn't mention it again. Every time Chen Mo went over to deliver food, the old madman would chat with him for a few words, instruct Chen Mo on his exercises, and even teach Chen Mo a set of exercises to collect rest.
After all, Chen Mo was a teenager, and while he was grateful to the old madman, he was also wary. According to what the old madman said, he was in the late stage of Qi cultivation before, but he was framed by the family surnamed Tu, abolished the dantian, and expelled from the sect.
If the old madman handed over the exercises before, it was still a reluctant design, then the old madman's actions now are enough to make Chen Mo vigilant.
Chen Mo occasionally thought about the old madman's proposal, and then rejected it. In the history books, he had read a similar story, using the enemy's head in exchange for the trust and favor of others, but this kind of behavior was not liked by Chen Mo. The dark strategy Chen Mo did not hesitate to use, but killing people for glory was far beyond the bottom line of what he could do in his heart.
Until this evening, Chen Mo delivered food to the No. 13 prison house, and the old madman sat there paralyzed, motionless. Although it was the height of summer, it was not hot in the prison cell, but there was a kind of cold in the courtyard of a high-rise mansion.
"It's time to eat," Chen Mo opened the iron door and was about to take out the food in the bamboo basket, but the old madman said weakly, "No need." You come here. β
The old madman's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, and Chen Mo was secretly taken aback.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it uncomfortable? β
"Don't talk, listen to me. Scattered cultivators want to enter the Ethereal Pavilion, unless they make meritorious service or are actively accepted. You don't want to trade my head for a future, there's only one way left," said the old madman, panting a little.
Chen Mo didn't make a sound, and listened quietly.
"I mentioned to you before that there is a place where you can try your luck," said the old madman, "and don't take the initiative to find the Ethereal Pavilion. Remember, you must not go to find the Ethereal Pavilion, and even the name of that peak, you must not mention it. β
"Mountain, try your luck?" Chen Mo simply thought that he had misheard. Do you have to try your luck when you join the Immortal Cultivation Sect?
"Yes, luck is chance. If you want to become an immortal, perseverance is essential, and agility and wit are also indispensable. However, the most unguessable thing is a kind of destiny in the underworld, that is the will of heaven, and chance is the will of heaven, you can go, everything depends on your luck, whether it is successful or not," the old madman said this, and did not say any more.
In fact, when he said this to Chen Mo, it was also a kind of helplessness. In the eyes of the old madman, Chen Mo's qualifications were excellent, if he wasn't expelled from the Ethereal Pavilion, he would definitely introduce Chen Mo into the sect. But now, he doesn't have that ability at all.
"Needless to say, let's eat," Chen Mo didn't respond to the old madman's proposal.
He's a jailer, and it's okay to go out and buy items occasionally. Leaving the Moshan Prison but the mountain, not to mention that he doesn't know there, even if he does, he walks to the mountain on two legs to try his luck, who knows when the luck will come? has been away from Moshan Prison for a long time, and his identity of eating and drinking without worry is gone.
The old madman ate very little, and he didn't eat after a few bites, and even the wine he usually liked to drink was not drunk this time.
Chen Mo asked him again if he was uncomfortable, but the old madman became furious and pushed him away vigorously.
Chen Mo had no choice but to pack up the dishes and chopsticks and leave the prison house.
The old madman waited until he was far away, and then he stood up, and in the darkness, his eyes were deep, and he did not know what he was thinking.
Late at night, Chen Mo walked into Du Xiaochi's room that was like a pigeon cage. Du Xiaochi hadn't slept yet, he was reading there, muttering in his mouth, "Big, small, more, less, up, middle, down, people, mouth, handγγγγγγ"
Those words were all written by Chen Mo and were pasted on the wall by Du Xiaochi.
Hearing Chen Mo's footsteps, Du Xiao stopped reading for a long time, turned around and shouted, "Brother Chen." β
"Xiao Chi, I'm going to go on a long trip," Chen Mo said carefully.
"Far away? How far away? Du Xiaochi was stunned for a moment, and on his dark face, thick eyebrows were squeezed together, "Are you leaving?" "Du Xiaochi is not stupid. What Chen Mo wants, he also knows.
"I can't say it well, but I'm not willing to fight it," Chen Mo said firmly.
"Brother Chen, is it dangerous? I'll go with you, it's better to have a helper than you alone with your bare hands," Du Xiaochi said without thinking.
Chen Mo smiled and patted Du Xiaochi's shoulder, "I'll try it first." If I die outside, I won't come back. If you don't die, I will come here to pick you up, and our brothers and sons will go to cultivate immortals together. β
"But," Du Xiaochi was anxious when he heard it.
"It's nothing. Remember, the old madman also helped us, after I leave, I will continue to take care of him, don't let him be wronged in the prison," Chen Mo said, "The prison still manages according to the method I taught you, and you don't have to worry about making money." Don't be stingy, you should give something to others, and don't be reluctant. Remember? β
"Brother Chen, I still want to go with you," Du Xiao was anxious. Chen Mo is his backbone, with Chen Mo here, he just needs to do what Chen Mo tells him, as soon as Chen Mo leaves, all those things will fall on his head. He didn't know if he had what it took to take care of the place.
"Listen to me. In case I don't have a good time outside, you're here, and I'll come back with a meal point. Don't worry, I really have a future, and I will definitely take you over," Chen Mo asked again.
Du Xiaochi didn't say anything more. Because Chen Mo is talking about righteousness. Stay in prison by yourself and earn more money, if Brother Chen really comes back, he can still have a nest to live in temporarily.
"So when are you leaving? Did you tell Captain He? Du Xiaochi asked in a low voice.
"Early tomorrow morning, I left a letter in my room, you will transfer it to him for me, and stuff him with ten taels of silver," Chen Mo said.
