Book 45: A Change of Heart
To the west of Los Angeles, in a somewhat dilapidated place, the streets here are rarely walked by. There was a sour smell of decay in the air, and the lintels of those courtyards were dilapidated and uncared for, and this place became a shelter for some homeless and some beggars. They, who leave early and return late, don't seem to want people to know that they live here.
"So many friends, from the teahouse, have been following the old man here, all want to go to the old man's house as a guest? It's just that the old man's home is not big, even if he sweeps the couch to greet him, he can't accommodate so many friends. ”
The storyteller stopped in front of a courtyard gate, which was empty, and a somewhat rapid cough could be faintly heard through the crack in the door. The storyteller turned, his beard stroked in his hand, and his shirt swayed gently in the wind.
"I'm just being ordered to come here to welcome the old gentleman as a guest, and I hope the old gentleman won't misunderstand. ”
Several figures, leaping out of the ruined house, came to the storyteller, and bowed. The six of them were dressed differently and belonged to different camps, but they were a little scrambling.
"The old man is just a villain in the market, and he has no fixed place to live, and under this dust, the old man will not go to make a mess of your place. ”
The storyteller shook his head, they were really hungry for talent.
"Have you ever heard that the old gentleman has a granddaughter who has never recovered from serious injuries? If the old gentleman is willing to go, my master will do his best to heal the old gentleman's granddaughter. ”
The six of them all retreated, and they did what they were told, and if they succeeded, they lived, and if they failed, they died. This can call them dead soldiers. The faces of the six were as calm as water, and they looked at death as home.
"Wait, that's a guts!"
The storyteller was furious, and he appeared in the world, just for his granddaughter, who had been bedridden. It's just that he searched for the famous doctors in the world, but he could only stabilize his injuries, but the descendants of the medical saints, the storytellers searched all over the world, but they never found it.
The granddaughter, that is, the storyteller's scales, if he touches it, he will fight for his life.
"The master behind you, the old man will have to visit one by one. ”
The storyteller raised his hand and took out six copper coins from his bosom, his thick eyebrows upside down, and the killing in his eyes appeared. The six copper coins were held in the palm of the hand, and they were also rotating at the fingertips, and the storyteller's thumb flicked, and the six copper coins shot out, cutting through the long dragon and directly taking the eyebrows of the six people.
"Puff Puff ............"
The speed of the copper coin was so fast that they couldn't dodge, and as soon as the movement in their hands was raised, their eyes widened, and a splash of blood burst out from the back of their heads, and six people fell to the ground in response.
"Guys, aren't you coming out yet? ”
Six corpses, the storyteller didn't look at them, his eyes narrowed slightly, his hands behind his back, and his clothes swayed in the wind.
"The old gentleman is serious, I'm just passing by, and I hope the old gentleman will forgive me for the disturbance. ”
After the six people fell in a pool of blood, five more figures emerged, but they were calm and idle, as if they had come here to hang out.
They came to the storyteller, bowed down, and confessed.
"If that's the case, that's for the best. ”
The storyteller treats them without proper eyes, the corners of their eyes are slanted, and their words are very flat. It's just that through the crack in the door of the empty courtyard, the coughing sound never stops.
After the storyteller finished speaking, he turned around and entered the courtyard of the ruined wealth, and closed the courtyard door casually. If you are not a visitor, then turn it away.
"Let's go!"
The remaining five people glanced at each other, and the courtyard gate that was close at hand only needed to be pushed open with a strong push. It's just the horror of the storyteller, but it makes them dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step.
With only one sigh, they turned and left, scattering in all directions.
"Young master, are we going to visit?"
Behind the tree, Tu Mo and his party have long been hiding here, as far as the eye can see, they can see it clearly.
"Xingchenzi, what I asked you to prepare, are you ready?"
Under the tree, Tu Mo leaned on the trunk of the tree, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the wind blew across his face, blowing a strand of hair in his ear.
"Back to the young master, the old slave is already ready. ”
As soon as Xingchenzi's words fell, he stretched out his hand, took out a folded Yunjin silk handkerchief from his arms, held it in the palms of his hands, and Xingchenzi bowed down and presented it in front of Tu Mo.
"This thing is urgently needed by that old-timer, it can cure his granddaughter, and it can also be used by me!"
The corners of Tu Mo's mouth outlined a curvature, and he raised his hand to take the thing that Xingchenzi was holding and held it in his fingertips. This thing is as light as a feather, but in the heart of the storyteller, it is heavier than that Mount Tai.
"Senior brother-in-law, what is this brocade in the bag, it is so fragrant!"
Mu Yao stepped forward and stared intently at the overlapping Jinpa on Tu Mo's fingertips. The fragrance is very peculiar, which makes Mu Yao a little dependent.
"Can you smell this?"
Tu Mo picked up the brocade handkerchief on his fingertips, his eyes showed a different color, and he looked at Mu Yao, his eyes turned, but he was a little thoughtful. This thing has an extraordinary origin, for ordinary people, colorless, tasteless, inconspicuous, give up, throw it away......
"Senior Sister Mu Yao, do you smell a fragrance?"
Luo Qingyi was slim, her footsteps flowed, she stepped forward, the tip of her nose sniffed a few times, but she didn't smell any fragrance, only a faint smell of decay. Luo Qingyi frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Mu Yao, a little worried.
Xingchenzi, the tip of Ye Wuyang's nose twitched, and he didn't smell any strange fragrance, and they were surprised on Mu Yao's body.
"That's right. I really want to, it's refreshing, can't you smell it?"
Mu Yao raised his head and looked at Tu Mo and the others, his eyes showing doubts. How could they not smell the smell of the scent?
"Senior Sister Mu Yao, are you okay?"
Luo Qingyi pulled Mu Yao over, looking at Mu Yao carefully with her eyes, she was worried, but she didn't know where to start!
"Senior Sister Tsing Yi, why are you weird, I'm fine! On the contrary, smelling this fragrance makes my heart shake, obsessed with it, and makes me feel extraordinarily comfortable. ”
Mu Yao's eyes bent into a pair of crescents, she pulled Luo Qingyi with her backhand, pointed to the Jinpa in Tu Mo's hand, and said. "Senior Sister Tsing Yi, you should also hurry up and smell it, this fragrance is very beneficial to my cultivation. ”
Mu Yao was very happy, and he almost jumped around. was naughty and mischievous in the master's sect, and did not practice seriously, which led to her realm stagnation. It's just that what Mu Yao didn't expect was that just smelling the fragrance could make her realm rise slowly, and how did this not make her overjoyed.
You don't have to work hard to improve your realm, which is really unwanted.
"Senior brother-in-law, can you give me the Jinpa in your hand, I can exchange things with you, and I will never let you suffer. ”
Mu Yao loved this thing very much, she buried her head and reached out to grope carefully in her arms. Except for a soft sword, it is some gadgets in the world for entertainment.
Mu Yao's eyes shone brightly, holding some various gadgets in both hands, and all of them were pushed in front of Tu Mo.
These are all things that Mu Yao searched for in the world, she loves them very much, and they are also the things she thinks are the best.
"Little junior sister, if you want to barter things, I'm afraid these things of yours are not enough!"
Tu Mo shook his head, a strange object in his hand was originally given to the storyteller and won over him. It's just that the peculiarity of Mu Yao made Tu Mo give up his original plan.
There are many strange things that can save people, and there are many in the world. If you want to save the storyteller's granddaughter, it will probably take some more time. Tu Mo's fingertips turned, and he looked at Mu Yao, who was a little anxious, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"What can I do about this? This item is of great use to my cultivation, Senior Sister Tsing Yi and I left the sect in a bit of a hurry, and we didn't bring anything valuable. ”
There was a deep disappointment in Mu Yao's eyes, and she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Luo Qingyi, her eyes a little pleading. She wants to get it, but the value is not equal, but she can't get her favor.
"Senior Sister Mu Yao, I don't have any valuable items on me, this thing, there must be one and two. Tu Mo prepared this thing in advance, and now that he is here again, it must be of great use. ”
Luo Qingyi's gaze was a little evasive, one side was the junior sister who had been dependent on each other, and the other side was the person she had liked for a long time, she was in the middle, but she couldn't be partial.
Luo Qingyi raised his head, his eyes looked at Tu Mo's cheeks, a little distracted.
"Little junior sister, I won't exchange it with you, but I haven't said I won't give it to you. ”
The liveliness of Mu Yao's heart, the purity of Mu Yao's eyes, clean and clear, isn't this the word "carefree" that Tu Mo wants?
"Young master, don't ........."
When Xingchenzi heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Tu Mo's ear. Strange things are what he has found, rare, rare, and only he can appreciate them profoundly.
Xingchenzi is very anxious, if there is a mistake in one link of deployment, then it will affect the coherence of the entire deployment, and it will change from active to passive.
It's just that Xingchenzi's words haven't finished before he finishes speaking, and he was interrupted by Tu Mo raising his hand. Seeing this, Xingchenzi could only quietly retreat to his original position, hanging his hands, and the anxiety on his face was easy to notice.
Ye Wuyang wanted to speak, but he just opened his mouth, but he didn't speak. I don't know if this thing is precious or what its origin is, he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Tu Mo.
"Senior brother-in-law, what you said is true? Do you really want to give this thing to me?"
Mu Yao was stunned, her hands parted and hung down, and those various gadgets fell to the ground, but she didn't care at all at the moment. Mu Yao was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, hugged Tu Mo's arms tightly, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, which were tears of joy.
"Not bad. Although this thing is rare, there are many that can replace it. Since the little sister likes it, I will give it to you. Just, I have a request. ”
Tu Mo restrained the smile on his face, as calm as usual, he looked at the excited Mu Yao, and blurted out the words clearly.
