Chapter Ninety-Three: A Small Episode in the Mountains (I)
The next day, Xu Mo walked out of the cave dressed as a woodcutter - he had been staying in the Black Wind Canyon for more than two months, and he didn't know anything about the situation outside, and even he couldn't guarantee whether Ma Sheng's father and son had betrayed him, and if he appeared as a scholar again, he might bring him huge trouble, or even ruin!
Coming out of the mountains disguised as a woodcutter will not attract attention, and it will be convenient for him to carry a woodcutter.
The appearance of the woodcutter is very unique, and I am afraid that it has long attracted the attention of people who have a heart, but hiding it in a pile of firewood naturally solves this problem.
In addition, the paper on which he copied the formation pattern, because there were too many of them, except for a dozen or so special ones left, he burned the rest, anyway, he basically wrote down the content inside, even if he didn't remember it, it didn't matter, there were secret boxes and floating clouds and flying cranes, and you could check it at any time if you wanted to see it.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, he checked the things he had to do before leaving one by one in his heart, confirmed that there were no omissions, and had cleared the traces of his existence as much as possible, he glanced back - although his life during this period of time was monotonous, he was immersed in cultivation, there were new discoveries and promotions almost every day, and there was no deceit from the outside world, it was the easiest two months for him to come to this world, and now he was leaving, and he suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart.
However, this kind of thought flashed in his heart, and he naturally understood that this kind of seemingly peaceful life was fake and fragile, and if he wanted to live a good life, he still needed to continue to move forward and work hard, so he took out a "Distant Mountain Listening Toad Map" from his arms, calmed down, and after four "immersive" times, he grabbed a protruding rock and jumped to the top of the mountain with light force.
Unlike the valley of the black wind, which is always full of black winds every day, the other side of the mountain is a steep slope full of rocks, and the rocks are overgrown with weeds and various bushes that are more than a person high, and it is early in the morning, but there is no birdsong, because from time to time a large number of snakes and rats and beasts of different lengths pass by among the weeds, and if they meet, they will fight fiercely, and the result is often that one of them is eaten.
They almost pose no threat to Xu Mo now, but in order to ensure his safety, he has already drawn four pictures of "Listening to Toads in the Distant Mountains".
It took him more than two days to get out of the thousands of meters of the hillside, and the trees in front of him gradually increased, and through observation and calculation, he expected to climb over the mountain in front of him that looked like a carp's back, and there should be people on the other side.
As he had guessed, when he climbed the hill in front of him, he could already see buildings that looked like towns in the distance.
That afternoon, he had found a narrow cave on a high place where only two people could sit, and was going to spend the night, and below where he was, the rocks were all white, and there was no vegetation except for very low weeds, and there was anything unusual to be found in time.
When he sat down to rest, he looked down, and felt something strange, at this time, the sun gradually set west, and the light changed, and he found that there was a hut built in the mountain rock below, which was almost integrated with the surrounding environment, and it was as if it was invisible, but he just climbed up from below, and he didn't even find it, and he had just gotten the benefit in the cave above the Black Wind Canyon, is there also such a strange hut?
Thinking of this, his heart was hot, and he immediately copied out a pen and paper and drew two new "Pictures of Listening to Toads in the Distant Mountains", then cleaned up and walked towards the hut.
As I got closer, I realized that the hut made reasonable use of the surrounding environment, and it was difficult to find its existence if I didn't get very close.
Approaching the hut, he became more and more cautious, and then waited outside for more than ten minutes, without feeling anything special, before he stepped forward and opened the door, which was also made of stone.
With his current strength, although the stone gate was relatively bulky, it was not effortless to pull it open, and as the stone door opened, five pairs of eyes stared at it at the same time!
Xu Mo was shocked, with his current cultivation of Taoism and martial arts, his sense of hearing and sensing was very sensitive, and there was no reason why he couldn't find them - fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any other movements, otherwise he would have used "immersive" to escape, and he quickly saw the appearance of the five people in the room.
The room is actually very simple, there are five stone tables on three sides, behind each stone table there is a person, directly opposite the door is a thin old man, wearing a shabby robe, on the left two stone tables sit a black-clothed eagle-eyed, long-armed, big-armed, young-looking man, next to him sits a middle-aged man with loose hair, with shining gold everywhere, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, blonde hairpins, gold belts, etc., and on the right are two people who are relatively fat.
No matter what the other party wanted to do, Xu Mo didn't want to cause trouble, he lifted the props and firewood he had collected in the past few days, and said, "This...... I don't know there's anyone here, so I'll leave ......."
"Let's go?!"
The man in black sneered and said, "Since you're here, tell me, who are you?
Xu Mo appropriately showed a scared look, and said: "I, I am a woodcutter, I came to the mountains to cut wood, and when I saw a hut here, I came over to take a look at it ...... curiosity."
The man in black raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you a fool for us? There is not even a single hair around this white-bellied mountain, and you say that it is a woodcutter who has come to chop wood? A woodcutter can easily open this stone door that requires four hundred catties of force?"
As soon as Xu Mo heard it, he understood that it was not easy to fool around now, but he didn't expect that there were five people in a hut in the wilderness, and now it was troublesome, he thought about it, so he had to say helplessly: "It doesn't matter if I'm a woodcutter or not, anyway, none of us know anyone, I haven't seen anything, so it's better to let me leave, how about it?"
With a sneer, the man in black slowly stood up and said, "It seems that you don't want to tell the truth!"
Xu Mo looked at him vigilantly and said, "What are you going to do?"
The man in black was just about to make a move, but the fat old man in the upper position on the right suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Forget it, since he found here, it can be regarded as fate, let's come in and listen to it together!"
The fat old man looked more prestigious, and after listening to him, the man in black sat back again, but he still stared at Xu Mo.
In the case of not knowing anything, Xu Mo didn't want to get involved in meaningless things, it seemed that the fat old man seemed to be reasonable, so he turned to him and said: "It's really passing by here, you can't participate in anything else!"
The man in black raised his eyebrows and was about to attack, but the fat old man stopped him again, then looked at Xu Mo and said, "There is nothing invisible to people, we just get together and trade something with each other - maybe there is something you need, or if you have something you don't need, you can also sell it to us." ”
Hearing what he said, Xu Mo's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Scattered Cultivation Market?"
The fat old man laughed and said, "There are only five of us, how can we describe it as a loose cultivation market? We are just looking for such a place to trade something with each other, but now you can rest assured, right?"
At this time, the thin old man sitting in the main seat facing the door said a little impatiently: "Come in, don't waste time!"
Xu Mo relaxed slightly, seeing that if he didn't enter the house, the other party might not let him go, and he held the "Distant Mountain Listening to the Toad", there was actually not much difference between inside the house and outside the house, so he walked into the house and sat on the ground at the door.
Seeing him enter the house, the thin old man stopped paying attention to him and said, "Go on." ”
As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of old paper and a black-hearted seal from the coat beside him, and said: "This is what I found in a cave in Beijing Mountain, the two are together, the seal contains a magic circle spiritual power, it should be able to unlock one or all of the contents, I don't want to waste this opportunity, everyone who is interested can buy it, or trade more than five grades of ground kip roots!"
