Chapter 5: Aliens
It's late at night
The second floor of the library building
Wu Mu slowly walked down from the third floor, the library building was already empty, the moonlight through the wooden window seemed extraordinarily quiet, and all that came into view was the old man with his eyes closed, his shawl and white hair, reclining on the chaise longue.
Looking at the old man who seemed to be asleep, he hadn't seen him for many years, although he had a lot to say to him in his heart, he had no choice but to give up, and respectfully bowed to him, preparing to slowly retreat back to the stairs and leave the library.
"After a few years of retreat, Xiaomu has grown up, and I have nothing to say to an old man, why don't you want to talk to me?" The old man whispered in a long breath, and his calm voice was like magic, unconsciously transmitted to Wu Mu's ears.
"Hai Lao, are you still awake?" Hearing this, Wu Mu stopped, and immediately walked back to the old man's side and whispered, "I thought you were asleep, and I didn't dare to disturb your rest, so I left." ”
When Wu Changhai heard this, he got up and yawned, and said, "Old man, I'm waiting for you here, how can it be so easy to fall asleep, although the old man is old, he is not so easy to sleep..."
Regardless of whether the old man was really sleepy or not, Wu Mu moved a tea table and brought a set of tea sets from nowhere, "Hai Lao, please drink tea." The boy respectfully poured the tea.
The old and the young began to talk as usual, and after a while, Takeme asked, "Why don't you just go upstairs?" ”
The old man replied, "Forget it, I just saw that you kid rarely read seriously, so I don't want to bother you, I haven't seen you for so many years, are you about to forget your ancestor." ”
Wu Mu was still in a burst of childhood memories, and when he was stunned, he suddenly remembered that in his life, the second ancestor and young master were usually used to being lavish.
If you have more money in your pocket, maybe you can go to the town market, so that you can find some cultivation things, so that your cultivation speed can be faster, and it would be good to buy some gifts for Sister Ye Ling.
The former patriarch in front of him is the owner of his childhood, and every time he lacks pocket money to find him, he can always gain something~
Immediately, the young man said a little flatteringly, "How can it be, Hai Lao, in the past few years that you have not been here, I miss you very much, I feel that you have become stronger again, younger, you really deserve to be the pillar of our martial arts family!" ”
"Ah, Hai Lao, you haven't given me pocket money for a few years, shouldn't you give me some pocket money?" The boy pretended to be pitiful, and the degree of disguise was so bad that people who didn't know the truth thought that he hadn't eaten and had been hungry for days, and he couldn't bear to look at him.
"You little devil still hasn't changed at all, you're flamboyant all day long, and you ask me for money when you meet?" Wu Changhai pursed his lips when he heard this.
Thinking of the childish boy who once followed his ass to grow into a handsome boy, he smiled, obviously a simple word of praise made him quite useful.
Then more than a dozen coins flew out of thin air from the unknown bracelet that Wu Changhai was wearing and threw them at Wu Mu, and when he looked closely, they were "innocent silver shields" glowing with silver light.
Like the Bronze Shield, the Silver Shield has the dispel power of Evil Dust, with the difference that the Silver Shield reserves ten times the dispel power of the Copper Shield.
Therefore, the value of one "Innocent Silver Shield" is also equivalent to ten "Innocent Copper Shields", and ten times the value of the "Innocent Silver Shield" is the "Innocent Gold Shield".
All three are the common currencies of the half-square world, and are produced and issued by the half-square bank, which is known as the money bag of the half-square world.
"Where are your words, heaven and earth can be learned, and what I said is true." The boy reached out and took the steel hammer thrown to him, pocketed the valuable currency one by one, and replied with a wink as if earnest.
I remember that when I was a child, I often played poverty with Hai Lao, and the old man was also very doting on this junior.
So much so that when Wu Mu said that he didn't want to cultivate, Wu Changhai directly ordered that he was not required to participate in the unified cultivation of school-age teenagers in the clan, so the culprit of Wu Mu's miserable cultivation was this old man with white hair in a shawl.
"Okay, don't be poor, Xiaomu, I'm waiting for you here, you're almost twelve this year, and I have some important words to explain to you." Wu Changhai also said to him with a rare positive color, looking at the old man's serious face, Wu Mu was not an unreasonable person, and then he also quieted down, quietly waiting for his words.
"You know the distribution of the major forces in our Qingfeng County, right?" Wu Changhai asked a question that everyone who has lived here knows well.
"Naturally, I know, first of all, the family forces include our martial family, and there are a total of four family forces in Qingfeng County, namely the Wu family, the Ouyang family, the Xin family and the Sha family, and the four major families are the strongest among the Wu family and the Ouyang family.
The second is the stationing of the neutral tripartite transcendent forces in the town of Breeze County:
First, half of the money village that rivals the richness of the country;
second, the county and town of the United Kingdom of Wind and Thunder;
Third, the Phantom Gate, a so-called all-knowing intelligence agency. ”
Wu Mu replied casually, even if this is something that the Huangkou children in the city know, how can he not know.
"Well, yes, then do you know the origin of our martial arts family?" The old man then asked.
"The origin of the samurai? That's not very clear, what can the origin of our martial arts family be, isn't our family a clan born and raised in Qingfeng County?
The family has been here for so many years, could it be that we still moved from somewhere else? Takeme pouted and said.
Wu Changhai glanced at the young man and replied, "That's right, our martial family is an alien clan. ”
"What! Our samurai family is a foreigner? Takeme asked in surprise.
The old man was slightly embarrassed, and then said, "The martial family has settled here for more than a thousand years, and it is not a foreigner, but the martial family did move from the Nine Ancient Domains to Qingfeng County a thousand years ago. ”
"Ninefold Ancient Domain? Isn't it the place that can be called the center of the half-square world? The young man asked curiously, and the old man said with a yearning on his face, "Yes, how can there be any other Ninefold Ancient Domain, which is the center of the world, and can be called the most prosperous place of the human race. ”
"Wow, the Ninefold Ancient Domain is worthy of being the core region, just hearing this name is much better than ours, but why did our martial family move to Qingfeng County?" The boy couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Wu Changhai smiled bitterly, sighed long, and said in a deep voice, "Hey...... In the end, it's because of the ancient curse of the martial arts! ”
"What is the ancient curse of the samurai?" The young man glared and asked, and the old man said faintly, "The ancient curse of the martial family, since ancient times, the cultivators of the Pupil Realm among the martial artists cannot live for more than fifteen years!" ”
Wu Mu has always regarded himself as the young master of the big family of Qingfeng County, and you suddenly told me today that the Wu family is a foreign clan that moved from the Nine Ancient Domains, and the whole clan bears the curse of the ancients, and the people of the clan are only fifteen.
"What! I have less than three years to live?! The boy wailed inwardly and sighed, "Can you tell me what happened?" ”
