"My name is Qingtan, what's your name."

"Chen Mo."

Qing Tan sighed: "Three years ago, we came from the imperial capital, and we wanted to establish contact with the ancient martial arts world, but who knew that it would backfire, not only did we not get the recognition of the ancient martial arts world, but the ten people who followed me were all killed by the ancient martial arts world, and I became a swordsman of the ancient martial arts powerhouse in Suzhou and Hangzhou District." ”

Swordsman?

Chen Mo looked at Qing Tan's dress, dressed in a samurai suit, but he didn't notice that he was wearing a long sword.

"Swordsman is just a name, in fact, it is the private armed forces of the skyscrapers, and in the battle of the ancient martial arts realm, we are the cannon fodder rushing to the front."

"Because my previous family was also an ancient martial arts inheritance, I was lucky not to die, but it seems that I won't last long."

Chen Mo didn't expect that the ancient martial arts world and the secular world would be in such a situation.

"But the Ancient Martial Realm is the guardian of the secular realm, why is this happening?"

"The ancient martial arts world is not as simple as you think, the land here is vast, and the area of the entire Suzhou-Hangzhou region has exceeded half of the Chinese country, if you count it as a whole, the territory of the ancient martial arts world is even wider than you know."

Qingtan took Chen Mo back to a village: "You will enter the village in a while, don't say much, just follow me." ”

Chen Mo followed behind Qing Tan, looking at the lively scene on both sides of the road, a peaceful scene, and it was no different from the secular world.

"The people who live here are all swordsmen, that is, cannon fodder who help Ferris fight, and we receive the necessities of life with military merits, of course, the scene you see during the day is different from what you see at night."

"Is there still a killing here?"

Qing Tan had a wry smile on his face: "It's not just killing, everyone here may give you a fatal blow when it gets dark, so the best way to protect yourself is not to trust anyone when it's dark." Got it? ”

Qing Tan's expression was very serious, which made Chen Mo's heart tense.

Qingtan took Chen Mo to a courtyard: "This is my residence, no one comes here on weekdays, you live here." Tomorrow I will go to the city and get you a temporary residence permit. ”

"Otherwise, if someone finds out, you can't run away, and I can't run away."

Chen Mo saw Qingtan skillfully bring the firewood from the yard into the room, and then make a fire to cook.

"Life here is simple, but it's fulfilling, but it's one day at a time."

Hearing the loneliness in Qingtan's words, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment: "Why don't you want to leave here?" ”

"Leave?" Qingtan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No one can leave here." ”

Chen Mo looked at the scars on Qingtan's arms, and stopped talking.

"Do you want to ask about these scars?"

Qingtan squatted on the steps, while tending to the stove, he said: "When I first came, I also wanted to escape, and the farthest one even escaped from the Suzhou and Hangzhou districts, but I was still arrested. ”

"Do you know why?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Because each of us has a mark on our body, as long as this mark leaves our permanent residence, it will trigger an alarm, which will cause the entire ancient martial arts world to chase and kill."

Chen Mo looked at the mark on Qingtan's arm, and frowned: "This is what they left for you?" ”

"Yes, everybody."

Qingtan brought the food: "You eat first, I'll go out." ”

Qingtan turned around and walked to the door, turned around and said, "Don't go out at night, and don't open anyone who knocks on the door, otherwise, it's very troublesome." ”

After Qingtan left, Chen Mo looked at the food on the table and fell into deep thought.

Everything here surpassed all his cognition, he didn't expect the ancient martial arts world to be like this.

However, why did the ancient martial arts world have such a great hatred for the secular world?

Chen Mo was a little overwhelmed.

There was a knock on the door outside, and it was urgent.

This made Chen Mo suddenly alert.

"Is Qingtan at home?"

Chen Mo didn't speak, but cautiously retreated into the room.

As soon as he closed the door, the door to the courtyard was pushed open.

Chen Mo looked through the window and saw a woman about forty years old.

After sneakily glancing around, she walked towards the stove again, she looked at the traces inside, and suddenly looked into the room: "Who are you?" ”

This scene startled Chen Mo, he didn't expect the other party to find his traces just by glancing at the stove.

"I really didn't expect this little girl Qingtan to raise a man in the room."

"Come out!"

Chen Mo walked out of it helplessly, and the other party seemed to be very cautious, looking at him vigilantly.

"Who are you and how did you end up here?"

"I'm a friend of Qingtan, and I just came over ....."

The woman didn't seem to be so easy to fool: "What district are you in?" Why haven't you heard Qingtan talk about you before? How did you get here? Do you have a residence permit? ”

The series of questions were aggressive, which caught Chen Mo a little off guard.

"This sister, I'm just ....."

"Who the hell are you?"

The woman's eyes were glazed, and she suddenly took out a dagger from her back: "If you don't say it, then don't blame me for being rude." ”

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the other party came to Zhenge, Chen Mo hurriedly said, "Okay, I admit that I got lost here, and I met Qingtan, and she kindly took me in." ”

The woman snorted coldly: "I said why did I go out so late today, but I didn't expect it to be because of you." ”

"Boy, you're going to make Qingtan miserable."

Chen Mo didn't know why: "How do you say this?" Why did I hurt her? ”

"Looks like you're a stowaway, too. Smuggled from the secular world? ”

Chen Mo didn't expect the other party to be able to see his problem at a glance.

Seeing that Chen Mo was silent, the woman snorted coldly: "It seems that I guessed it, a kid like you is not slippery at all, I really don't know if you can survive here." ”

The woman's eyes were cold and mocking.

"But you deserve your life, if it weren't for Qingtan's sake, I would have slaughtered you a long time ago."

The woman put away her knife and turned to walk out.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Mo walked down the steps.

"This sister, can I ask what Qingtan is doing when she goes out?"

"Assassinate the enemy."

The woman glanced at Chen Mo coldly: "Here, everyone's daily ration is a certain amount, and they all need to be exchanged for military merits, Qingtan has made so many meals in one meal, most of them are eaten by you." ”

"So she can only change her military merits again, otherwise, she will really have nothing to eat tomorrow."

Chen Mo didn't expect things to be like this: "But when I see that during the day, there are a lot of food sellers on both sides of the street, can't the things here be bought with money?" ”

"No, you can only use military merit."

Chen Mo still wanted to ask something, but the woman said coldly: "If you want to know, you can just ask her when Qingtan comes back alive." ”

After the woman left, Chen Mo tidied up the yard and wiped down the stove for cooking.

The moonlight was sinking in the west, and when Chen Mo was sleepy, the door was pushed open, and Qing Tan's face was pale, and his arm was bloodied.

"You're hurt?"

"What's the matter, it's just a little injury."

"Turn around!"

Chen Mo looked at Qingtan's injured position and hurriedly turned around: "Actually, I can help you deal with the wound." ”

"Shut up!"

There was the sound of rushing water behind him, as well as Qingtan's suppressed voice.

"Tomorrow you take these things to the market and buy some food, and if you have any leftovers, remember to bring them back."

Chen Mo looked at Qingtan and threw over a black bag, which was full of strange brands.

"It's nothing unusual, when you stay here for a long time, you'll naturally know what these things do."

Qing Tan picked up the long sword and walked towards the house: "You live in the firewood room, although it is a little simple, but it is much better to live in the wilderness." ”

Chen Mo didn't say anything, and obediently went to the firewood room.

"Wait a minute!"

Qingtan opened his mouth and said, "Has anyone been here?" ”

"Yes, a woman, who looks very familiar with you, about forty years old."

Qingtan's footsteps slowed: "Got it." You go to sleep. ”

Watching Qing Tan enter the house and close the door, Chen Mo suddenly lost his sleepiness, the ancient martial arts world was a new place for him.

And everything here seemed to be beyond his imagination.

There is no imagined beauty, and everything seems to reveal weirdness.

This ancient martial arts world is not at all what he thinks.

Could it be that something went wrong?

Chen Mo had infinite questions in his heart.
