Watching the two leave, Mo Chen looked at the full moon in the sky, and after writing the edict, he also had some understanding, so he simply moved out of the recliner and meditated in the courtyard.

After a night passed, Mo Chen opened his eyes, stood up and stretched, only to feel more and more clear in his mind.

At this time, the New Year's Festival is approaching, Qingyoufang is also a lot more lively, many people have begun to sweep the house, buy New Year's goods, and prepare for the New Year, Mo Chen is alone but there is nothing to prepare, in addition to going out to eat on weekdays, he is to listen to the storyteller in the tea shop, as for Zhao Chenghuang and the land prince, they have never come since they got the edict, I don't know if they have realized anything.

Time flies, twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye, Mo Chen looked at the two Jinling Phoenix Birds flying in the yard, suddenly interested, wanted to draw them, and then went to the house to get paper, ink, pen and inkstone, thought about it and went to the outside market to buy some paints, staring at the Jinling Phoenix Bird, and slowly conceived in his mind.

This painting took half a day, and at noon, Mo Chen looked at the two lifelike birds on the paper, and nodded with a little satisfaction, although he had never practiced Danqing, but his calligraphy was excellent, and after he practiced, the Lingtai was clear, his heart moved at will, and it was not too difficult to make a painting.

"Sir. ”

Mo Chen was still admiring his paintings, and there was a crisp call outside, just listening to the voice, Mo Chen knew that it was Xiao Du Kang who was coming, just because in addition to the sound being more recognizable, in the entire Anxi County, only Xiao Du Kang would call him Mr.

Looking up, Xiao Du Kang was standing outside the door with a food box, Mo Chen smiled gently, "Come in." ”

Xiao Du Kang walked in when he heard this, put the food box in his hand on the stone table, and said to Mo Chen: "Sir, this is the chicken soup that my mother has stewed all morning, and my father asked me to send it to you to taste." ”

"Okay, go back and thank you dad for sir. After Mo Chen finished speaking, he opened the food box, and suddenly felt an attractive smell coming to his nose, which couldn't help but make Mo Chen's appetite arouse, took out the spoon in the food box, and ate it.

Xiao Du Kang chased the Jinling Phoenix Bird in the yard and played non-stop, after a while, Mo Chen finished eating, Xiao Du Kang also ran over out of breath, his face was already a little red, looked at Mo Chen and said: "Sir, come to my house during the New Year, there are more people and more lively." ”

Hearing Du Kang's words, Mo Chen shook his head and smiled, touched the former's head, and said, "Mr. still has some things to do at that time, so I won't go to your house to bother." ”

Xiao Du Kang lowered his head and sighed softly, there was obviously some loss in his tone, he still liked this gentleman Mo who was gentle and elegant and would tell him stories, and he was inevitably a little sad when he heard Mo Chen's refusal.

When Mo Chen saw Du Kang's appearance, he smiled in his heart and said secretly: "It's still a child's heart." He was about to say something to comfort him, but he suddenly looked outside.

"Another acquaintance has come to the door. ”

After a while, a clear voice came in from outside.

"Liu Hao of Guiyun Villa, come to see Mr. Mo. ”

Mo Chen opened the courtyard door, only to see Liu Hao standing outside respectfully, and when he saw Mo Chen coming out, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying, "I've seen Mr. Mo." ”

Liu Hao is still dressed as always, dressed in gorgeous white, holding a tassel sword in his hand, and he doesn't look like a child of the rivers and lakes, but like a rich son.

Liu Hao's feeling was completely different, when he left, Mr. Mo gave him a feeling that was not as good as it is now.

"After a few months, how is Liu Shaoxia doing?" Mo Chen asked with a smile.

Hearing Mo Chen's question, Liu Hao unconsciously stood up a little straighter, hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Lao is worried, everything is fine in the future." ”

Mo Chen spoke, welcoming Liu Hao into the courtyard, the latter looked at the leafy peach tree, his eyes were slightly condensed, he remembered very clearly, when he left, this peach tree was still covered with a scorched black dead tree, just now he was still curious, how can there be a fragrance of flowers in the harsh winter, it turned out that the source is here, although he was surprised in his heart, but he was not very shocked, Mr. Mo is a legendary immortal, and some magical methods are also understandable.

The two sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and when they saw Liu Hao, Xiao Du Kang was a little scared, so he gave Mo Chen a salute, said goodbye and left, leaving only the two to talk freely in Mingyuexuan.

"Where did Liu Shaoxia go?" asked Mo Chen.

Liu Hao said: "Approaching the Chinese New Year, I went down to visit a few sects that were good friends with my Guiyun Villa, passed by Anxi County, and came to visit Mr. ”

Liu Hao's words were half-true, he did go to visit a few martial arts sects, but he did not pass through Anxi County, but came to visit on purpose, and even rejected the kindness of those martial arts sects to let him stay overnight, and rushed to Anxi County day and night.

"Since Mr. Mo is at home, I still have some gifts for you here, you wait, I see if our convoy has arrived." After speaking, without waiting for Mo Chen to speak, he ran out again, Mo Chen saw this, shook his head and smiled, and did not stop more.

After half a ring, Liu Hao came back again, holding a few wooden boxes in his hand, he put the wooden boxes on the stone table, and said to Mo Chen: "Mr. Mo, these things are what I bought in Jinyu Mansion, and there are no expensive things. Please be sure to accept it. ”

Mo Chenfa looked over, looked through the wooden box, and saw the items inside, only to see that they were all extremely precious medicinal materials and the like, but there was a small box with a few ink ingots, which looked smooth and fine, and it should not be ordinary.

For medicinal materials, Mo Chen didn't have much thought, but he liked the ink ingots a lot, and then picked up the wooden box containing the ink ingots, and said to Liu Hao: "This Mo will accept it, and ask Liu Shaoxia to take the rest back." ”

Liu Hao saw that Mo Chen only took the wooden box, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, and then Liu Hao began to talk about the things he had experienced in the past few months, Mo Chen also listened to it with relish, he was still very curious about the things in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't have the opportunity to see it in his previous life, and he became an immortal cultivator in this life, everything he saw and heard was demons and monsters, and he couldn't experience the feeling of the rivers and lakes like fresh clothes and angry horses fighting swords.

After nearly half a day of chatting between the two, Liu Hao looked at the sky, stood up, hugged his fist at Mo Chen, and said respectfully: "Mr. Mo, it's not too early, I'm going to say goodbye." ”

Mo Chen also stood up and said, "Liu Shaoxia, it's not early, why don't you rest for one night and then leave?"

Liu Hao replied: "No, there are still some things in the next house, so I won't bother Mr. and say goodbye." ”

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Mo Chen grabbed him and said, "Liu Shaoxia, wait a minute, I accepted your gift, Mo Mou has to get you back, the gift is still exchanged." ”

The voice fell, picked up the brush on the table, closed his eyes for a few breaths, opened his eyes, wrote down the word [sword] on rice paper, then dried the handwriting, handed it to Liu Hao, and said: "Liu Shaoxia, Mo Mou also wrote this word well, please don't dislike it." ”

Liu Hao hurriedly took it, only glanced at it, and felt that there seemed to be ten thousand sword lights roaring towards him on the rice paper, so frightened that he hurriedly closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again, and after a while, he opened his eyes, solemnly put away the rice paper, and bowed to Mo Chen: "Mr. Xie gives words." ”

Liu Hao had seen Mo Chen kill a hundred ghosts with a few words, and he still coveted Mr. Mo's Mobao, and this word [sword] was by no means ordinary, just by a glance, he felt that he had some new insights into kendo, if he watched it often, the benefits were immeasurable.

Mo Chen smiled and sent Liu Hao to the door, there were already three carriages waiting for him outside, and there was an old man in sackcloth sitting on the carriage headed by him, Liu Hao saluted Mo Chen again, got into the carriage, Mo Chen watched the carriage go away, and turned back to Mingyue Xuan.

On the carriage, Liu Hao looked at the word [sword] carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that a sharp sword intent spread out on it, which was extremely strange, and suddenly an old voice came.

"Is that gentleman the strange person that the young owner said?"

When Liu Hao heard this, he solemnly put down the rice paper in his hand, got out of the carriage, smiled at the old man who was driving the car, and said, "Yes, it's that Mr. Mo, Uncle Ma, this Mr. Mo...... Alas, forget it, you didn't believe it when I told you. ”

"Haha, the young owner still wants to explain to the owner why we are going back so many days late, his old man is the most annoying of this kind of strange person. The old man thought about the figure in the green shirt, although he felt that his temperament was excellent, but he didn't feel anything strange.

Liu Hao listened to the old man's words, and in his mind, he couldn't help but think of his father's serious face, and his heart immediately shuddered.
