Chapter 115: Screams in the courtyard
In the mountain temple, Guo Man stood quietly in front of the dilapidated statue of the mountain god, as if waiting for something. He was waiting for someone, waiting for Qin Mo. It's just strange that those orphans are nowhere to be found.
Time passed slowly, and a shadow was pulled diagonally into the mountain temple as the sun shone. Then, I saw a young man in white walking in. After a closer look, I found that the young man in white was Qin Mo.
"Where does Chen Lai Mazi live?" Qin Mo asked Guo Man as soon as he came in.
"Sir, you have to think clearly. Chen Lai Mazi is the head snake in this area of Gaoshui Street, you just came to Annan City."
Say. Before Guo Man finished speaking, Qin Mo had already dropped a simple word.
......
......
"The 46th Courtyard of Jianshui East Street, but sir, do you really not think about it anymore? I can prepare something for you, such as gunpowder and hidden weapons. It takes me seven days to prepare, though. ”
"No, thank you for your kindness. Qin Mo replied lightly.
Hearing this, Guo Man's lips squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
"Say whatever you want. Seeing this, Qin Mo said to Guo Man.
Hearing this, Guo Man seemed to have made up his mind. He looked up at Qin Mo and said, "Sir, I want to restore my original name," he said not very loudly, but the firmness in it was extremely strong.
"Why?" Qin Mo asked suspiciously.
Guo Man replied: "Because my mother helped me marry, I want to use my original name until I was eighteen years old." Until I was eighteen, I wouldn't be too far from my parents' graveyard. I will keep filial piety for them until I reach adulthood. ”
Qin Mo nodded and said approvingly: "I'm very happy that you can have this thought, which means that you have filial piety." The name Guo Man was married to you by me, and it's your business whether you want to use it or not. I don't have the right to interfere, yes, give. After speaking, Qin Mo took out a book from his arms and handed it to Guo Man, and then said to him: "This is my new understanding of martial arts, take it and take a look." It might help you, but remember, just take a look. Don't imitate me above martial arts. No matter what it is, otherwise, your achievements in this life will be fixed. ”
Guo Ge'er took the book and said to Qin Mo gratefully: "Thank you, sir, I will repay you in the future." ”
Qin Mo didn't answer, but turned around and left. After a while, Qin Mo's voice came from afar: "I didn't teach you these to repay you, but to see that you have filial piety." I know how to work hard and have a good heart, so I am willing to hand over what I have learned in my chest to you without reservation. You just need to remember that you will be successful in your studies. Don't forget the word jì, that is, benevolence. Because, the benevolent are invincible. ”
In the mountain temple, Guo Man's eyes crossed with a hint of gratitude as he watched Qin Mo go away, and he muttered, "Got it, sir, I'll remember." ”
There is a very special yard on Jianshui East Street, and those who are wealthy disdain to live here. Although the house price here is cheap and a good house only needs a hundred taels of silver, it is just too far away from the Mipu Tea Workshop or something. Nearby, on the contrary, is the yamen, and there are all kinds of gambling houses, as well as the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. Therefore, really good people and honest people do not dare to live here. Therefore, it is also said that there are only those Jiangyang thieves who do not wash their hands, and gangsters and the like who live here. It is no exaggeration to say that if you meet a random person on the road here, he may have a few lives on his hands, although the Yan Dynasty is a country where masters fly all over the sky, but indiscriminate killing will still be arrested by the Law Enforcement Hall and the yamen in various places.
Seeing this, some people may have questions. Why would those Jiangyang thieves who had human lives in their hands live here openly and honestly, and the Law Enforcement Hall didn't arrest them. That's because, when they were arrested by the Law Enforcement Hall, they were sent by the Law Enforcement Hall for several years, and they were able to be released from the Law Enforcement Hall only when they were okay. When a prisoner is released, the people of the Law Enforcement Hall will put a secret charm on his body, as long as the released prisoner commits another crime in the future, the people of the Law Enforcement Hall will be able to sense it and arrest him as soon as possible.
This, however, is a fact that many criminals who have been released and then caught and executed again have written down in blood. Therefore, few of those who have been released will dare to commit crimes again. Of course, those who committed the most heinous crimes will not be released. There is only one way left for them, a dead end.
Because of this, Qin Mo easily found the location of the courtyard where Chen Lai Mazi lived. When going to the courtyard where Chen Lai Mazi lived, Qin Mo passed by the local yamen. The area around the yamen is relatively deserted, with only a few restaurants and tea houses. Within a radius of dozens of miles, it was occupied by the yamen, which covered a rather vast area. There are two huge stone lions at the entrance of the yamen, and behind the stone lions are two huge round wooden pillars carved with various reliefs in yellow and white. Supported by log pillars are several beams and some cyan tiles pressed against the beams. Underneath the beams are two large black wooden doors to signify the harshness and coldness. In front of the wooden gate is a wide road.
At the end of the road were several houses and a large hall in the center, flanked by guards dressed in yellow and white uniforms. They didn't have any killing sticks in their hands, except for a stubby stick pinned to their waists on the left side. On the right side, he has a long sword pinned to his waist. Judging from their thick breathing, their internal strength cultivation has already been acquired. At the front of the lobby, there is a wide chair, and in front of the chair is a bookcase, on which there are official seals, documents, case files, signature slips, pen holders, Zhu Yan, and shocking wood.
Above the large bookcase was a picture with a detoxification on it. The untied hooves pressed against an official's body, and the official's frightened face was vividly depicted. It looks as if the real punishment is punishing the bad officials. There was no one on the chair. Instead, there was a small stool below and a master in a pale gray official robe sitting on it, writing something on a small bookcase.
At this time, there were four guards at the gate of the yamen who were sweating like rain, and they were moving a big flag that was full of one person thick and three people high.
Qin Mo couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement when he saw that the clothes of the four guards were soaked with sweat. With a smile, he walked up and grabbed the banner that had been pulled up by the four officials. Lift it up slightly.
"Oops!" the patrolman stumbled as he nearly fell to the ground from overexertion. When he looked up and found that Qin Mo's hand was holding the big flag, he hurriedly said, "Young man, quickly retreat." This banner is full of more than 1,000 catties, and safety is the most important. Don't weigh you down. ”
After a while, seeing that Qin Mo had no intention of retreating. His waist sank slightly, and then he took a stride. Hold the banner with both hands. At the same time, he said a little unhappily: "Why do you kid so ignorant!? Do you think this is fun? As soon as this banner hits your body, you will be smashed to the bone, broken tendons, and light." Why don't you step back away!? I'm doing this for your own good. ”
Qin Mo shook his head with a smile, and his face sank when he saw the patrolman. The faces of the other three guards also became a little unhappy, and they said, "Four, step back and let me come." I can put this banner up. ”
The patrolman who spoke to Qin Mo changed his face slightly, and he was about to speak. Suddenly. A voice came from the side: "Let him try." ”
The four guards and Qin Mo turned their heads together when they heard this, only to see a middle-aged man in a black official robe walking slowly towards here. I saw wisps of clouds carved on the official robe, and in the middle of the clouds, there was a tail roaring in the sky.
The man's face was extremely majestic, and at the same time, he had a temperament on his body. Just like a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, his body exudes a very faint but strong murderous aura. It's just that this murderous aura was suppressed by the heavy official authority on his body. If it weren't for a cultivator with a strong divine sense or a person who was very sensitive to murderous aura, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
The first time the four guards saw that official, they bowed their heads at the same time and said respectfully, "City Lord Zhu." ”
Then, the patrolman who spoke to Qin Mo said with some concern: "City Lord Zhu, this is a bit of a joke. The young man looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. If he is smashed by this banner, something will not happen. Let's come on the four of us, we're on an errand. There is no reason for people to do such dangerous things. ”
That Zhu City Lord said calmly: "I see that the true qi in this young man's body is extremely strong, and he has the cultivation of innate great perfection. Also, I could feel his muscles and bones extremely strong in my mind. If he can't, then it's useless for you to come to eight like this. ”
Seeing what the patrol wanted to say, the Zhu City Lord said again: "Besides, isn't there still me? My cultivation in the human realm is enough to ensure that this young man is safe, right?"
Hearing this, the patrolman said to the other three officials beside him, "Let's all retreat." ”
After saying this, he whispered to Qin Mo: "Young man, if you can't do it, don't hold it hard." You have the cultivation of the Innate Great Perfection at a young age, and you have a much better future than us useless servants. If you can't hold it and you cough twice, I'll bring my three brothers with me to help you. The body is important, don't make things wrong with your body because of this matter. It's not worth it. ”
Qin Mo nodded slightly and said, "Understood." After saying this, Qin Mo sank his waist and straddled the horse, and his spine was in three sections. When he landed on the tail vertebrae, Qin Mo's whole body suddenly tightened, and then, Qin Mo's other hand held the flagpole. Exhaled and said: "Ha !!" Then, I only saw the green tendons on Qin Mo's hands protruding one by one. The green tendons on his hands were like purple-black earthworms wrapped around Qin Mo's hands, looking quite terrifying. Next, I saw the tail of the big flag slowly moving with Qin Mo's movements. In the process of moving, the force even scratched shallow marks on the ground made of granite.
Then, Qin Mo raised his hands. He raised the banner stiffly, and then fell to the hole in the ground. I could only hear a dull sound of "Bang!", and the big flag was put into the hole by Qin Mo. Then, Qin Mo's foot kicked lightly, kicking the half of the split ring in front of the cave and the other half of the ring together and firmly combining them. Then, Qin Mo let go of the hand on the flagpole. His hands clapped, and a wisp of white gas came out of his mouth. Then, there is no more movement to stand still.
"What kind of strange power is this? Is he a double-pupil, but his eyes look normal. Where did he get this strength?" The patrolman who was talking to Qin Mo was already stunned at this time, and he looked at Qin Mo who was facing the banner and muttered to himself.
That Zhu City Lord's eyes showed such a look, and there was also a hint of interest in his eyes when he looked at Qin Mo. Obviously, he was very interested in Qin Mo.
"Young man, what is the matter with you coming to the Yamen? Don't tell me, you are here to help me put up a banner. That Zhu City Lord said slowly.
"You're right. Qin Mo nodded very seriously and said.
"Lying, young man, is not a good thing. Or do you think I'm not happy to come to me to be happy?" The city lord of Zhu frowned, and said a little unpleasantly.
"City Lord, the boy, the grass people don't dare to find you happy. I was passing by here, and I happened to see four guards holding this big flag, so I stepped forward to help. You can't wronged me. Qin Mo clasped his fists and replied in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
When the City Lord Zhu saw Qin Mo's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, the interest in his eyes changed to appreciation. He said to Qin Mo, "My name is Zhu Wu, what's your name?"
"My name is Qin Mo. Qin Mo continued to reply in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Very nice young man, hopefully we will see each other again in the future. According to your talent and character, you are a good piece of material to be carved out. If you are willing, I have an errand here after a while, but I don't know if you are willing to take this errand?" Zhu Wu first observed Qin Mo for a while, and then said to Qin Mo.
"We'll have to see what kind of errand it is. Qin Mo didn't answer immediately, but replied vigilantly.
"Come to me at the City Lord's Mansion today after four months, and I'll arrange things for you. Don't worry, what I want you to do is not for you to assassinate a master or something. It's just for you to cooperate with my patrol to complete a mission. It's not hard for you. After Zhu Wu finished speaking, he turned his head to the four guards and said, "You go back to the patrol yali first, and wait for the master to approve the recital, and let one of them be brought to the city lord's mansion." I'm going to review it myself. ”
"Yes!" replied the four guards respectfully, and the four of them walked together towards the guard's office.
Qin Mo saw with his own eyes that after Zhu Wu and the four guards left, his body moved, and his feet were full of dark energy. The next moment, he turned into a shadow and ran towards the courtyard where Chen Lai Mazi lived
On the street, only a faint shadow flashed quickly. However, Qin Mo's toes were on the ground, and the whole person flew forward diagonally, approaching the courtyard where Chen Lai Mazi lived at a speed that normal people couldn't do, and jumped up when he was about to hit the wall. A volley flipped into the courtyard wall, and while entering the courtyard wall, his eyes glared viciously at several big wolf dogs in the courtyard, and at the same time exerted the coercion of the innate great perfection on his body. The big wolf dogs were photographed by this coercion, and they all crawled on the ground and shrugged their heads and tails quietly, not daring to make any more noise.
Qin Mo nodded, went up and patted the heads of the wolf dogs one by one, and then turned over to a courtyard wall and lay down quietly. It was already afternoon, the sun was setting, and night was approaching. Qin Mo waited patiently for half an hour, and the sky finally gradually darkened. At the moment when the night darkened, Qin Mo jumped up and swooped into the courtyard from mid-air like an eagle.
When he landed, he frowned slightly, and muttered: "No, why didn't you see Chen Lai Mazi's figure?" After muttering this sentence, he looked at the lights in the room, kicked his toes on the ground, and the whole person floated forward, and when his body was about to fall, his fingers lightly rested on the window edge.
With the exertion of his forearm, his muscles tightened like a bundle of silk, and his whole body was lifted by this thin finger, drawing an arc and floating gently to the roof.
The moon in the sky was long gone, and in the thick of the night, Qin Mo leaned down and gently uncovered the tiles on the roof.
When Qin Mo saw the situation inside, he frowned slightly. Then, he jumped violently. He rolled over and went down to the front of the door, his arm bent forward slightly. The wooden door was pushed open by Qin Mo, and when the door opened, the dim light illuminated the area where Qin Mo was
The thugs who were gambling around the tables finally woke up.
"What thief who doesn't have long eyes dares to commit a crime against your grandfather. "Someone rushed over and punched him.
Qin Mo looked at him calmly, his eyes were extremely calm. Seeing that the fist was about to hit him in the face, he quickly tilted his head to the side, and the thug's punch with all his strength hit the air, only to hear a click, and the thug's arm was dislocated due to overexertion.
Qin Mo rushed forward while dodging the attack, his right hand turned into a palm and struck the gangster's shoulder, his left hand grabbed the gangster's arm, and when his hand just rested on the gangster's arm, the two hands twisted in different directions. Then he could only hear the sound of "Kala!", and Qin Mo's hand let go of the gangster's arm. When Qin Mo's arm was released, the gangster's arm twisted in an extremely exaggerated arc, and obviously, his shoulder was twisted into a fracture by Qin Mo.
Then, at the moment before the gangster could let out a scream, Qin Mo turned into a faint shadow, flashed behind the gangster, grabbed the gangster's right shoulder with his right hand, grabbed the gangster's arm with his left hand, and exerted force with both hands at the same time. The thug's shoulders and arms were unloaded by Qin Mo.
Then, Qin Mo grabbed his hand and threw him forward. The thug ran into several thugs who were rushing towards Qin Mo head-on. The whole process only took a breath of time, and Qin Mo beat that gangster to the point that he had no fighting strength at all.
He knew that such a fight would be very painful, and he wanted to make these gangsters afraid.
He's going to fight until they don't dare to trouble him anymore.
It was only then that the thug let out a scream of "Ahhhh
Then, the thug smashed all the other people who rushed up to the ground. Qin Mo swung his fist and pounced at the place where the group of thugs fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
He's just a teenager, and although he's killed people, he's not a murderer. So his fists didn't use all his strength. But every punch he punched on the opponent's body carried thousands of pounds of power, and for a while, the room was filled with the sound of broken bones and miserable howls.
......
......
After a while, he was the only one standing in the room.
The rest of the people were lying on the ground, with weak breath and pale faces. From time to time, the corners of his lips oozed blood or foamed at the mouth, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a frightened expression.
Qin Mo tore off the cloth on the gambling table, wiped his bloodstained hands, and glanced at the faces of the people in the room, as expected. He didn't see the figure of Chen Lai Mazi.
So he showed a sincere smile and asked these gangsters who were beaten like dead dogs "kindly": "Hello, may I ask, is Chen Lai Mazi at home? Thank you. ”
