Chapter 22: The Mausoleum of the Former Dynasty (5)

Ye Xiao's eyes widened sharply, his face changed sharply, how could he not understand when he heard this? Hurriedly grasped the hilt of the sword, took a few steps back, and only then did he exclaim, "You are the Immortal Sect!"

The sound spread throughout the lobby, and everyone turned their heads to look at each other, all of them looked at each other angrily, and said: "How can there be a fine work to sneak into the inn, if he is allowed to escape today, everyone will be unlucky!"

"Rest easy, everybody. Mo Li suddenly spoke, pinching his sword fingers, putting away the spirit soldier, and then walked towards Ye Xiao, with a smile in his eyes, and asked loudly: "Ye Gongzi has seen the world, why are you so panicked?"

"I'm ......" Ye Xiao watched him approach step by step, her legs trembling uncontrollably, she couldn't speak, her Adam's apple rumbled, and beads of sweat seeped all over her neck.

Mo Li stood in front of him, dressed in white with incense, his face was soft, and he was still humble, and said with a smile: "I think Ye Gongzi may have some misunderstanding of the contempt sect. ”

Ye Xiao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, longing for the spirit officer, and said in his heart: "The Immortal Sect is notorious, and the chivalrous warriors of my generation deserve to be punished, but this person's cultivation is profound, and I am by no means an opponent." ”

Thinking about it, he took a deep breath and said calmly: "I understand the rules, today Ye is at home all day, never going out, let alone seeing you." Please also make it convenient for Brother Mo to spare me this time. ”

"What's the case, are you all blind when everyone?" Mo Li narrowed slightly from the corner of his eyes, his gaze fell on his right hand, and shouted: "Make a move!"

The roar entered his ears, Ye Xiao's heart trembled, and he was so shocked that he pulled out his sword and stabbed it directly. But Mo Li didn't avoid it, and let the tip of the sword stab him in the shoulder, splashing a string of blood.

Ye Xiao was immediately dumbfounded, looking at him with a stunned face, and he forgot to pull out his sword.

Drops of blood fell down the blade of the sword, staining Moli's white clothes red, blooming like plum blossoms.

After half a loud effort, everyone came back to their senses, and was about to step forward to help, but Mo Li waved his hand back and said, "You guys stand down, I'll talk to him." ”

"Why don't you fight back?" Ye Xiao was full of inexplicability, pulled out his long sword with a snort, and slowly fell to his side, only to feel at a loss.

"Huh. Mo Li chuckled, regardless of his injury, his eyes stared at him, as if through his heart, and said: "This is to let you see clearly, we have the same blood, we are the same people!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's dazed expression, he continued: "The way of heaven is selfless, all beings are equal, whether it is the Heavenly Book Mansion or the Immortal Sect, there is actually no difference, otherwise how could Beiyou establish a country?

Ye Xiao's lips pursed, and he stopped talking, Mo Li preemptively said: "Even if there isβ€”that's a special case! The Heavenly Book Mansion has also done evil deeds, you ask yourself, who can guarantee that you will only do good deeds in your life and will not have the slightest evil thoughts?"

There was silence in the lobby, and he sighed: "Don't completely deny the contempt of sentient beings because of a few black sheep. ”

"But ......" Ye Xiao was speechless for a while, unable to refute it.

"The so-called Immortal Sect has done a lot of evil, but it is just a one-sided word of the Heavenly Book Mansion. Mo Li shook his head and sighed, his eyes were gloomy, and then he took Ye Xiao's palm, pulled him towards the head of the hall, and said bitterly: "Ye Gongzi is a smart person, he can understand it with a little touch, and the Heavenly Book Mansion does this just to take the dragon vein for himself, and those who do not join them will be classified as a different party and will be attacked by righteousness." ”

The two of them stood in the center, Mo Li let go of his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "There are only two or three hundred Lingguan people in the Heavenly Book Mansion, but they occupy the Eight Great Spirit Peaks! If they really care about the world as they preach, and their lives are only to support the righteous path and help the people of the world, why don't they spread the Qi Cultivation Method, and then divide the mountains to educate the people and establish a prosperous spiritual world?"

He stopped narrating, waited for Ye Xiao to think for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother Ye, do you think it's fair for the Heavenly Book Mansion to oppress the people and act arbitrarily?"

Ye Xiao thought for a long time before gritting her teeth and whispering: "It's not fair." ”

"Very good, courageous, like a man!" Mo Li encouraged him, nodded and said: "The north is desolate and cold, and hunger is everywhere, do you think we will voluntarily live there? No, we are all forced by the Heavenly Book Mansion! If we want to cultivate, we can only entrench ourselves outside the fortress and endure humiliation." And the spirit officials all have great magical powers, and they will take people's lives with a wave of their hands, and if they oppose them, won't they die?"

"But-" Mo Li's voice changed, and he raised his voice: "We have never yielded, and the contempt sect wants to prove that even if you are here, you can cultivate spiritual energy and ascend to the Tao by the spirit officials!"

He said this sentence quickly, quickly, and impassionedly, causing everyone to be thrilled and applaud in unison!

Mo Li deliberately gasped a few times, forced out the sweat with his internal force, looked around at the audience, showed a relieved smile, and sighed: "The hall is full of aspirants, and the brothers are not moving forward alone, and I am quite relieved to be here. ”

Ye Xiao's brows jumped, and she was already moved. Mo Li turned around and stretched out his hand to a sturdy man in the field: "Captain He, please step forward." ”

The strong man walked out quickly, seemed to recognize Ye Xiao, and then clasped his fists and saluted: "Humble He Shumeng, I have seen Ye Gongzi." ”

"Captain?" Ye Xiao said strangely, staring at him without stopping.

"This is a non-commissioned officer of the garrison, and Mo was lucky to get acquainted with him, and he was deeply honored. Mo Li's expression was solemn, as if a great man had come.

He Shumeng was flattered and didn't even dare to say it.

Mo Li said: "Ye Gongzi, if you think about Captain He's appointment as an officer, he represents every word and deed of the imperial court, why do such people make friends with me?"

Ye Xiao was surprised: "Yes, why is this?"

Mo Li smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said: "Because the imperial court is also dissatisfied with the domineering of the Heavenly Book Mansion, and has been holding grudges in private for a long time, some clear-eyed people see through the secret and make friends with the contemptible sect. ”

"I see. Ye Xiao was stunned when she heard this, and the last trace of doubt in her heart was dispelled.

"Alright. Mo Li clapped his hands, swept his eyes to the lobby, and thanked the Quartet: "You have to support you, listen to some gossip, I have asked the cook to prepare wine and food, and we will drink three cups later, from now on brothers are commensurate, regardless of whether they are high or low!"

Seeing his sword unsheathed and exerting his magical powers, everyone was shocked, and now he was a brother again, and his heart was even more moved, and he hurriedly got up to answer, his face was full of glory.

Several cooks had been waiting for a long time, and when Mo Li gave his order, they rushed out, set up the dishes, and spread the dishes and chopsticks.

Mo Li took the wooden box from behind the counter, put it on the table and opened it, revealing a thick pile of books inside, explaining: "There are twenty books of Qigong practice here, everyone has a share, and they don't charge a penny. You take it back first, follow the exercises in the book, and practice well. If there is any obscurity, you can come to the Yue Peng Inn to find me, and I know everything below. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and they took it with trembling hands, thinking: "Who said that the Immortal Sect is badβ€”this immortal master treats me closer than my father!"

Ye Xiao took a look, although the book was crudely stitched, the content inside was mysterious and profound, and it was by no means a fake. Looking up at Mo Li again, his face was so excited that he turned red, and he was very remorseful when he remembered his disrespectful behavior!

Everyone said goodbye one after another, but Ye Xiao and He Shumeng were left behind by Mo Li, he said: "The two of you go upstairs with me, and there are other important things to discuss." ”

The three of them walked into a guest room, Mo Li closed the doors and windows, asked them to sit down, took out the bronze mirror of the Ye family, put it on the table and said, "The origin of this thing is extraordinary, do you two know the reason?"

Ye Xiao was going to say that it was my family's thing, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had another deep meaning, so he straightened his posture and waited for his follow-up.

Mo Li nodded and spoke: "As early as a thousand years ago, Xia Jun had not yet unified the continent, and at that time, demons and us humans lived together, and various races fought in all directions, hindering each other. And in the hinterland of Yunguo, there is a Liu family to support the sacred bird, called Gusu, when it appears with nine heads, and likes young babies......"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the window, Mo Li cut off the words, looked sideways and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Mo, I'm bringing you tea. Xiao Er outside said.

"Little brother, take it back first, I still have something to do here. Mo Li's tone was slow, and he smiled slightly.

"Got it. Xiao Er said goodbye and left, the footsteps became farther and farther away, and Mo Li continued: "The Liu family snatched the baby with the foreign surname and dedicated it to the Gusu bird, praying for good weather and good harvest in the fields. One day, the Gusu bird died of old age, leaving heirs to continue to protect the Liu family. ”

Ye Xiao listened attentively, Mo Li poured a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and said: "And the Liu clan invited a master to weave a treasure with the wings of a dead bird, and finally the head of the Liu clan died, and the treasure was buried in the grave with him, and disappeared from the world." ”

Ye Xiao nodded slowly, and came to his senses: "Oh, it turns out that Master Mo wants to dig up the tomb and find treasures. Seeing Mo Li looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly asked, "I just don't know what that thing looks like?"

Mo Li pondered: "The shape is a long black silk...... In order to keep the spiritual qi from dissipating, most of them are packed in jade boxes. ”

"Please rest assured, the ancestral residence of the Ye family is here, and most of the nearby Tufuzi recognize it, so go back and ask people to divide the gold and set the acupoints, once the treasure is dug up, I will offer it with both hands." ”

"There's Brother Laoye. Mo Li solemnly thanked him, took out a glass bottle from his arms, pulled out the cork, revealing the two round multicolored pills inside, and explained: "I won't take advantage of you for nothing, there are two elixirs here, which can improve cultivation, and when things are done, they will be given to the two of them, which will be counted as a thank you gift." ”

"Spirit pill?" Ye Xiao said in surprise, his eyes were straight, and when he turned his head to look, He Shumeng's face showed a gaffe, and he also felt shocked.

......

The two swallowed their saliva and walked out of the inn in a daze, their mood fluctuating, as if they saw a cultivation avenue spreading in front of them, and the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were waving to them.

"Brother Ye!" He Shumeng's eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't hold back his excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "In the future, we will work together and concentrate on serving Lord Mo, and we will not worry about no return." ”

"Hahaha. Ye Xiao held her head high, walked lightly, and sighed even more: "What Captain He said is very true, please give me more advice in the future." ”

The two parted, and when they heard the laughter, the Ye family servant Ding woke up from his sleep, quickly jumped out of the car, ran over and asked, "Young master, what happened to you?"

Looking at the familiar face of the servant, Ye Xiao suddenly felt that his demeanor was amiable, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, so he took a few taels of silver from his purse and rewarded him: "Let's go home, Young Master Ben will have a banquet tonight, and you miscellaneous servants will also come and have a drink!"

"Thank you, young master!" the servant smiled, and he couldn't stop talking.
