Chapter 44, Shark Shock
Time passed minute by minute, and the girl in Tsing Yi didn't know when she had returned, although she came to the backyard, she did not interrupt the old man and Xiao Mo's exercise teaching, but stood aside silently vigilant.
As the sky gradually brightened, the white of the fish belly began to appear in the eastern sky, and the old man finally opened his eyes and said lightly: "Remember?"
"Remembered. ”
Xiao Mo nodded.
After this night, the old man will be ten thousand flowers to return to the trick of teaching, although he has not yet practiced, but as long as he does not stop cultivating, there will always be a day when he can cultivate.
And all this is thanks to the old man.
When the old man heard this, he nodded and said, "Now that you have memorized it, then you should leave here today." In this sea city, there will be a big storm soon. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao Mo nodded and said.
He understood what the wind and rain meant, since the girl in Tsing Yi threw the jade pendant back into the street, it means that the storm is about to rise, and this sea city is indeed not suitable for him to stay here anymore.
Since the task given to him by the old man was to go to Lingwu City and join the Dao Xue Palace, he naturally would not choose to stay in this Sea City and continue to wait for the enrollment of the Mountain and Sea Xue Palace.
Whether it is for himself or the old man, Xiao Mo joining the Daoist Palace is a hundred times stronger and more useful than joining the Shanhai Palace.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a dragon pattern token that was as black as ink and engraved with the word 'Dao' on the back suddenly appeared in the palm of the old man, and he said: "This is the Supreme Dao Dragon Pattern Order, which is a token that can only be possessed by the elders of the Supreme Dao Palace and above. ”
He handed the token to Xiao Mo, but said, "This is the last resort to ensure your entry into the Daoist Palace, but I suggest you don't use it unless necessary?"
"Why?"
Xiao Moqi said, there is obviously a more concise and convenient method, why not use it?
The old man said: "Your purpose is to find out the secrets of the Daoist Palace, and the more low-key and ordinary the person who inquires into the secrets, the more difficult it is to be recognized. If you enter through the back door from the beginning, your chances of being noticed and recognized are thousands of times greater than those who normally enter the Academy. ”
"Say ...... again"
Speaking of this, the old man paused, and then said: "If you can enter in the normal way, why not do it?" Although the Dao Dragon Pattern Order has great authority, those who enter the Academy Palace with this kind of token are often looked down upon and ridiculed, and at the same time, you have also lost the best opportunity to test and refine yourself. Don't you want to know what level you are at, and if you have the qualifications to join the Daoxue Palace normally?"
When Xiao Mo heard this, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak.
The old man glanced at him, and then said, "Of course, if you really don't want to trouble, it's up to you." Since the old man has given you the Supreme Dao Dragon Pattern Order, it is up to you to dispose of it. Whether you directly use this token to join the Academy, or pass the trial, it is really not possible to use the token to join the Academy, this is all your freedom. ”
"And the only thing I have to ask is not to be found out, find out what I want, and the deal will be done. ”
When Xiao Mo heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore, nodded and said, "Okay, the juniors will consider the situation and deal with it seriously." ”
After speaking, he reached out and took the token, put it in his palm and played with it carefully for a while.
The token is cold to start, and it is thicker than Xiao Mo imagined, and he doesn't know what material it is made of, so he doesn't want to think about it if he doesn't understand it.
Xiao Mo directly put it back into the storage bag, looked up at the old man and asked, "Senior, why didn't you give this token to the senior girl and let her join the Daoxue Palace, but chose the Shanhai Xue Palace?"
This is a question in his heart that he has been thinking about for a long time and can't get an answer, and at this time, the separation is imminent, so he naturally can't help but ask.
The old man glanced at him and said, "This is not something you should know. Seeing the disappointment in Xiao Mo's eyes, he smiled again and said, "But it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”
Xiao Mo suddenly perked up, raised his head and stared at him with burning eyes.
The old man didn't care, and said directly: "Among the top ten survivors, after decades, three have died one after another, and the cause of death is not unrelated to the battle in the Red Rock Valley at the beginning. Although they survived, they were seriously injured and died within a few years. ”
"Of the other seven people, I already have the whereabouts and identities of four people, and the first one to be detected is in this Shanhai Xue Palace, so Yingxia and Feiyan will both join the Shanhai Xue Palace. ”
"However, the whereabouts of the two most important people, Lu Xueqing and Bai Yuyang, are still unknown, and I guess that the most likely place for them to hide is the Zhidao Palace, which is why I will send you into the Zhidao Palace. ”
"I see. ”
Xiao Mo nodded, and didn't say anything more, just asked the last question: "If there is news, how can I contact my seniors?"
The old man smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I will take the initiative to contact you." But all of this will have to wait until you have a firm foothold in the Supreme Dao Palace, go ahead-"
"Yes!"
When Xiao Mo heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore, stood up directly, and saluted respectfully to the young girl in Tsing Yi who was standing beside the old man: "In this way, seniors, senior girls, juniors will leave!"
With that, he strode out of the backyard and out of the garden.
He didn't go back to Haicheng, anyway, he had no relatives here, and there was nothing left in the inn, and the room money had already been paid, so there was no need to go back and pack up.
After walking out of the garden, Xiao Mo discerned the direction and walked straight to the northwest. There, it is the capital of Lingzhou, the first city of Lingzhou, and the direction of Lingwu City.
......
Lingzhou is not big, compared to the Nine Domains Thousand States of the Heart Saint Continent, Lingzhou is just an insignificant small place.
But Lingzhou is not small, because from east to west, from south to north, at least nearly 10,000 miles apart. Haicheng is located in the southeast of Lingzhou, while Lingwu City is located in the northwest of Lingzhou, under the Lingwu Mountain Range, and the distance between the two is about seven or eight thousand miles.
To rush from Haicheng to Lingwu, it will take more than half a month for those who are fast, not to mention those who are slow.
And when the enrollment date of the Dao Academy Palace was approaching, Xiao Mo didn't want to waste time on the road, so when he rushed to the next town, he bought a fire-scaled horse in the town.
This is a low-level means of transportation in the Heart Saint Continent, and there are higher-level Bloodscale Horses and Shark Scale Horses on it.
But even if he was a low-level means of transportation, the Firescale Horse was much faster than someone who hadn't cultivated any body secret skills, even if he didn't run with all his might, he could travel thousands of miles a day.
Therefore, even if Haicheng and Lingwu City were far apart, seven or eight thousand distances, with Xiao Mo riding the Fire Scale Horse, seven or eight days would be enough for him to arrive.
And during this period of time, he was able to practice the Ten Thousand Flower Return Technique while hurrying.
Now, although he has learned this secret art, it does not mean that he has succeeded in cultivating. Learning is just memorizing the content, and if you want to truly succeed in cultivation, you need to go through a long period of hard work.
And this, naturally, is the most important thing for him next.
......
When Xiao Mo left, the girl in Tsing Yi looked at the old man sitting on the futon and said, "Master, can he really be trusted?"
Hua Fuyue is nameless, although she adopted her, but she was taught more.
For her, Yue Wuming is also a teacher and a father, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the adopted daughter of the old man, but in fact, the old man's preferred title is teacher.
This is also the reason why she and Qu Feiyan both call Yue Wuming a master.
After Hua Fuyue heard the nameless words, she smiled faintly: "When I taught him the Ten Thousand Flower Return Technique just now, I made him swear an oath of demons. ”
"Once this oath is made, once it is violated, it will be difficult to cultivate and the future will be blocked, and at worst, the demons will invade and die on the spot. ”
"Although I only want him to send a message that is not easy to spread and casually use the Ten Thousand Flower Returning Technique, I just want him to send him the Ten Thousand Flower Flower Return Technique so that he can find out the news for me, so the two are closely related. Therefore, if he breaks the contract, the Demon Oath will still affect him. ”
"I'm sure he's a smart guy who doesn't joke with his future and his life, and he knows the benefits he can bring to him, so you don't have to worry. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled and said lightly: "I am nameless, although I have achieved nothing over the years, but I believe it is still good to look at people's eyes." ”
"Yes. ”
Since Yue Wuming had already said so, the girl in Tsing Yi was no longer entangled in this issue, and she turned to ask another question: "The bat jade pendant has been cast, and Haicheng has begun to turmoil, but after bringing out those people behind the scenes, what is the master going to do?"
When the old man heard this, he looked at the rising sun in the east, and said lightly: "Although the bait has been put down, there is no fishing rod to match. But what we want to catch is a ferocious and powerful shark, so in the end, although the bait is swallowed by them, we still have nothing to do with them. But—"
Speaking of this, he smiled faintly: "The reason why sharks are sharks is because even if they compete for food, they will not let go. Although we don't have a strong fishing rod, we catch the sharks directly, and the bloody bait is enough for them to kill each other, and at worst, it can also let us see who they are, and this price will always wait for the time to recover together. ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing the old man say this, the girl in Tsing Yi instantly understood, no longer spoke, just silently, looking in the direction of Haicheng, with a slight fluctuation in the depths of her eyes.
That night, Haicheng was in chaos, countless strong people fought and killed, and many disciples of the Four Great Palaces were involved, and countless deaths and injuries were imposed.
