Chapter 80: The Mo Family in Dongsheng Town
Through the dense forest of about a mile, Tian Jihong gradually found that traces of battle began to appear next to him, many vegetation and soil and rocks on the surface of the ground showed signs of being burned by the flames, and several giant trees with a thickness of more than ten meters beside him were actually broken off by the waist, from the fracture, it can be basically concluded that it was the result of the violent impact, Tian Jihong guessed that this was most likely the place where Huo Yunluan and another brute beast had fought before.
And the further you go forward, the more obvious the devastation of the war becomes. At this time, the dense forest within a radius of several hundred meters was actually swept away under the aftermath, and only scorched branches and leaves and patches of scorched black soil were left around in the distance, and the smell of blood in the air gradually increased. Led by the brown bear, Tian Jihong didn't see a single bird for five minutes after stepping into this scorched earth, and it was obvious that the beasts that inhabited the surrounding area had already fled during the previous battle.
After another five minutes of walking, Tian Jihong finally came to the core of the battle, where he could see a group of people sitting cross-legged in front of him at a glance. Somewhat unexpectedly, there were nearly ten figures in front of him, which did not match the number of people he had expected at the beginning, and judging from their attire, they still seemed to belong to two different forces.
The three leaders at the front were a middle-aged man in his 40s, plus two young men, a man and a woman. The middle-aged man's face was simple and unfazed, and his slightly closed eyes shone with a little brilliance, and at a glance, he knew that he was a master who was proficient in soul power cultivation. Its outfit is the same as that of the four or five people behind him, and the clothes are embroidered with the pattern of a dragon, a tiger and two strange beasts; The difference is that the middle-aged man in the lead also has a silver belt tied around his waist, and two extra scale-shaped armor armor pieces are added to the shoulders of his shirt, which looks like an elder of a certain big force.
The young woman beside her was the leader of the other force, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old, her body was white like snow, her appearance was middle-to-upper, her eyes were like water, there was an indescribable sense of tenderness, and her green clothes were covered with fine patterns. After Jihong approached everyone that day, he found that the patterns on the girl's clothes were all kinds of strange spirit animals, each of which was carved lifelike as if it had life.
The other two girls of the same age standing behind her were also dressed in the same attire as her, looking like followers of the lead girl, but now they were just standing quietly and serving. One of them also held a two-foot-long jade flute in his hand, apparently kept for the leading girl, and Tian Jihong guessed that the tune that had come from a distance before should have been played by the latter.
The young man sitting sideways on the other side of the middle-aged man was a little abrupt, and his clothes were very different from those of the people around him. Tian Jihong looked at his outfit a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it. The young man looked a year or two older than himself, and his face had a haughty look on his face, as if he did not pay any attention to anyone around him; When Tianjihong approached the group, the young man didn't even look at himself, he still turned sideways and looked up at the dense forest in the distance, looking very impatient, obviously not an easy guy to get along with.
The brown bear, which was bleeding all the way in front of him, walked straight towards the middle-aged man at this time, and then obediently lay on his right hand. The latter, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, finally opened his eyes, and at this time the brown bear beside him seemed to suddenly wake up, his eyes returned to their original look, and he began to whimper and lick the scars on his body, and his somewhat distorted face, which had been burned, showed a pitiful look and looked at the owner beside him.
Apparently, the brown bear's consciousness regained at this time because the middle-aged man had lifted its manipulation. When his eyes looked at the brown bear kneeling on his right, he also showed a moment of unbearability, but fortunately, the middle-aged man immediately took out a large bottle of potion from the package, judging from the capacity of this treasure bottle, it was obviously specially concocted for a large spirit beast like a brown bear.
Unlike the ointment in Tian Jihong's hand, this bottle contains a light purple liquid, but when it splashes on the giant bear's wound, its effect is even more obvious than Tian Jihong's ointment. In a moment's time, the scars around the giant bear that had been burned and torn apart by the thunder disappeared without a trace; Even the charred hair on his body began to fall off gradually, and a layer of shiny fresh fur slowly grew from the wound, and the painful look in his eyes immediately dissipated and regained his vitality.
At this time, looking at Tian Jihong, who was not far away with a respectful but obviously vigilant look, the middle-aged man still spoke first: "Finally wait for you little guy, what's your name?" How did you break into the depths of this Dongyun Mountain alone? ”
Tian Jihong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Senior, in the next... Mo Hong is a nobody who has just entered the cultivation. Before, I came to the mountains to collect medicine, but I accidentally encountered a spirit beast chasing and killing, and finally strayed into the depths of the basin and found the footprints of several predecessors, so I took the liberty to follow it in order to save my life. But I didn't expect that the kid was targeted by the purple electric eagle again, but fortunately, the seniors saved my life, and I am really grateful! ”
Seeing that the group on the opposite side showed a look of surprise, Tian Jihong was not surprised, the situation he described could be described as half-truths and half-truths, plus seeing such a young little guy break into the mountains alone, the other party must have doubts about such a vague statement, Tian Jihong has been prepared to calmly respond to the other party's follow-up questions.
But what he didn't expect was that he misunderstood the other party's meaning, and the look of surprise in the middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and then he swept his whole body from head to toe, as if he suddenly showed great interest in himself. "You say... Your name is Mo Hong, right? Dare to ask where the little brother is from? ”
"Well, here is a no-name person in a remote mountain village, who now lives in Donglin Village, not far from Dongsheng Town, presumably a few seniors may not have heard of it, right?" Tian Jihong wanted to say that he was born in Dongyun City at first, but he appeared in the jungle near Dongsheng Town at the moment, which was a week or two away from Dongyun City, and Dongyun City could be described as a prosperous town in the martial arts world, and the members of several big forces in front of him were likely to have a very detailed understanding of Dongyun City, so that their lies would be easily exposed.
Therefore, in the end, he decided to tell the fact that he lived in the wilderness, thinking that even if these people had heard of Donglin Village, it was impossible for them to know anything about the situation in the village, and there was no way to verify the credibility of their words.
However, what Tian Jihong didn't expect was that the smile on the middle-aged man's face became more and more intense at this time, adding a sense of banter to his gaze.
"Oh? Donglin Village, huh? This is really a coincidence, I am afraid that our group still knows a little about this village, but I have never heard that there is a boy surnamed Mo like you in the town! The middle-aged man began to attack Tianjihong in a playful tone, "Then do you little guy know the origin of our group?" ”
This sentence obviously stumped Tian Jihong, and he wasn't sure what the other party meant by asking. In order to avoid offending the middle-aged man, he had to deny it with a little embarrassment.
"Hehe, the old man and the people next to him are all from the Mo family in Dongsheng Town, the old man's name is Mo Tianxing, he is the third-in-command of the Dongsheng Mo family and the family worship, and I came to this deep mountain today to find a suitable natal spirit animal for my niece to raise." The middle-aged man spoke again, his mocking tone undiminished.
"Although my Mo family doesn't have much contact with the outside world, they still have some understanding of the villages around Dongsheng Town. As for Donglin Village, I remember that there was a child surnamed Mo who was driven out by the family for violating the clan rules a few decades ago, and then stayed in the village to marry a wife and have children, and now his son Mo Sheng is the only resident surnamed Mo in Donglin Village, but unfortunately his poor cultivation talent has not attracted the attention of the clan. However, this Mo Sheng's son was favored by the family as early as a child, and he has been training and cultivating in other places since he was taken out of the village. ”
"But besides, it's the first time that the old man has heard that there is a kid surnamed Mo like you in this Donglin Village, it's really strange!" The middle-aged man was still smiling, not telling a lie, and still looking interested.
When he heard the first words of this middle-aged man, Tian Jihong knew that something was wrong. He immediately recalled in his mind that when he tried to worship the Hongwu Martial Arts Hall in Dongsheng Town, the steward had asked if he was from the Mo family in this town, and Tianjihong, who was still at a loss at the Mo family in Dongsheng Town, definitely didn't expect that it would not be a few days before he actually bumped into the other party in this deep mountain.
He didn't expect that the honest and honest Uncle Sheng in the village would have such a background, and his father was actually from a wealthy family. However, looking at his usual appearance, most of them didn't know much about his life experience, and the Mo family probably didn't have any direct contact with him after seeing Mo Sheng's poor cultivation talent. Seeing that the uncle happily hoped that his son would come back to visit him outside, it was obvious that he was still kept in the dark until today, and he didn't know that his son was secretly cultivated by the family.
However, Tian Jihong was also keenly aware that the other party did not seem to forcibly expose his lies, and his words did not show murderous intent except for ridicule, but he was also very interesting about his answer. Therefore, Tian Jihong simply decided to break the jar and break it, so he continued to make it up.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be from the Mo family in Dongsheng Town, and you are still neighbors with the same surname, the kid just lost his respect!" Tian Jihong continued with another archer, "The seniors may not know that they moved to Donglin Village with their parents recently, and they have been living in the wilderness outside Donglin Village. ”
"Not long after I entered the cultivation at the request of my parents, I thought that I would come to this mountain to find some elixir, but I didn't expect that I almost died in the hands of this purple electric eagle just now. Thanks to the rescue of Tianxing's predecessors just now, I was able to escape, and this kindness will definitely come to the Mo family in person to repay this kindness! Tianjihong swore and said.
