Chapter 9: Your Everything
Four months later, Xu Mo climbed a barb-shaped mountain, saw a wide sandy woodland in the distance, and crossed this beach to enter Junqing Mansion.
In the past four months, he has absorbed the lessons of the last time, in order not to meet people like Liu Changsheng again, except for buying daily necessities and some medicinal materials, he rarely interacts with other people, but when he passes through the town, he will go to the local larger inn to stay for two days, first, to let himself rest, and second, such a place is also convenient for obtaining all kinds of information.
There are all kinds of information, from the court of this dynasty to the trivial entanglements between neighbors and friends, but the strange thing is that no one has ever heard about Liu Changsheng's death, Xu Mo has all kinds of speculations in his heart, but no matter what, he still follows his own plan.
First of all, after mastering the method of visualizing the Black Toad Diagram anytime and anywhere, the headache has been completely suppressed and is gradually alleviating, but unfortunately there is no new understanding of the Black Toad Diagram itself.
He is not surprised that there is no progress, after all, there is only one picture, there is too little information, and its biggest role now is to suppress and treat his headaches, and the well-documented "Mixed Yuan Jin" is the focus of his efforts during this time, after continuous exploration and practice, he finally reached the entry stage a month ago!
In fact, "Mixed Yuan Jin", which has only five floors at the highest, does not have an "entry" First, Xu Mo's so-called introductory stage refers to groping and mastering the correct practice, which is not easy for him who has no experience and no one else to guide and correct him, whether it is in his previous life or in the current world, he has heard and seen many examples of a lifetime of pain because of improper practice, or some martial artists are very strong at the peak of their bodies, and as they get older, they will decline rapidly at a rate different from ordinary people's aging, and so on.
Naturally, he would not make such a mistake, he had to figure out every move and every style before he could get started, and the first layer of "Mixed Yuan Jin" was relatively simple, so he could complete this step alone.
Since mastering the correct practice, he obviously feels that his body is stronger day by day, and has been able to initially exert the power of the move, the so-called hybrid element, that is, the spirit, body, and momentum are integrated, one move and one style, strong and unbreakable, he once broke the ribs of a half-big green wolf with one punch!
It can be said that the introduction of "Mixed Yuan Jin" is his biggest gain during this time.
In addition, walking in the mountains, he will naturally not give up when he encounters things such as medicinal herbs and animal skins, especially when he finds that the cheapest medicinal materials that have been tasted are more than ten taels of silver and a penny, he will not let go, and after his physical state is stable, he has put away the "strong tendons" and began to use the "blood and blood nourishing yuan soup" suitable for the first layer.
..................
After descending the mountain, Xu Mo inquired about the way from a mountain man, then returned to the place where the burden was hidden, picked up the dozens of catties of medicinal materials, and began to cross the beach called Wanlintan.
It's already spring in March, everything is recovering, patches of grass, clumps of wildflowers, most of the trees have begun to pull leaves, a scene full of vitality, but in the prosperous scene, danger is also everywhere, not to mention, the insect repellent he prepared can drive away most of the poisonous insects, the most dangerous is under the feet: the mud that looks like it is covered with grass, but it is a quagmire that can immediately sink people when you step on it, and the strange fish with teeth that sometimes suddenly jumps from under the sand in the clear water, and the strange crocodile with a head like a stone buried underneath, etc。
It took him four days to get out of this twenty-mile forest.
Walking out of this woodland, he spent half a day trimming, changing into new clothes, dyeing his hair black again, and officially stepping into Junqing Mansion.
Entering Junqing Mansion, Xu Mo soon found that it was different from Shengyun Mansion, although there were mountains here, the land was more flat, there were patches of fertile fields, and life here was more stable.
He walked while admiring the surrounding scenery, and when he came across a pharmacy, he went to take a look, and exchanged or bought the medicinal materials that were needed, and sold some of the medicinal materials that were not needed for the time being, so he stopped and stopped, and a few days later he arrived at the first county seat of Junqing Prefecture: Boling.
It was still his previous habit, and he lived in the relatively large Yunlai Inn in Boling County.
When he arrived at the inn, it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and after some washing, it was time to eat, he found a corner and ordered a few dishes, and sat down to eat quietly and listen to others chatting.
He was going to stay here for three or two days and then continue his journey, although he didn't know if Liu Changsheng's death would involve him, but the farther away he was, the safer it was, and then the conversation of the three people at a table on the right side caught his attention.
The three men were of different ages, the oldest was thirty years old, the youngest was only sixteen or seventeen, and one was in his early twenties, all dressed in the clothes of a scholar, as if they were students in the county school.
I only heard the youngest student sigh: "Alas, I didn't expect Brother Zixu to be infected with the epidemic, and I saw that I was going to die, and I participated in the poetry meeting together during the New Year, and we talked very happily, it is really impermanent......
The young man in his early twenties shook his head and said sarcastically: "What is infected with the epidemic, and you don't want to plot his family property......?"
"Be cautious in your words!"
The eldest man interrupted him, quickly looked around, and then lowered his voice with a little annoyance: "The Xu family is a big family in the county, be careful of causing trouble because of your words!"
After speaking, he saw that the young man's face changed, and he didn't continue to speak, so he returned to his original appearance, changed the topic again, and talked about things like the drama in the county school and the county town.
On the other side, Xu Mo saw that he couldn't hear more content, so he turned his attention to the other tables, but he was still thinking about what they had just talked about, maybe the problem he had been trying to solve could be started?
There may have been an opportunity in front of him, and he made a quick decision, but before that, he needed more information, and to be well-informed, Dianxiao Er was the best candidate.
So, before going to bed, when the shopkeeper sent the foot washing water, he stopped him, took out a dozen yuan from his arms, and said: "I first arrived in Boling, and I am not very familiar with the affairs of the county, you tell me about it, it is good, all this money will be given to you!"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he said slyly: "You are looking for the right person, the little one can be said to know nothing about the affairs in the county! However, I am afraid that the guest officer will not be satisfied!"
Xu Mo smiled lightly, threw the money over, and said, "Let's talk about it!"
The shopkeeper happily took the money, poured tea with his hands and feet, and then talked about the people and forces in the county that could not be provoked according to Xu Mo's request.
It didn't take long for Xu Mo to figure out what the three of them were talking about during the meal: Zixu, whose real name is Xu Ling, is the only son of the second room of the Xu family in the county, and his family has a big business, but unfortunately he was infected with the epidemic, and the most famous doctor in the county was helpless, and time was running out.
Thinking of the conversation between the three of them at that time, coupled with the fact that Xu Ling's parents were also infected with the epidemic three years ago, and the second room and the big room were not from the same mother, it is not difficult to think of the words "seeking money and killing people".
In fact, most of the people in the county who knew the same thing, but Xu Gongcheng, the head of the Xu family's big house, was a sixth-level powerhouse in the Diyuan Realm, and he had a big family, so no one dared to talk about it publicly.
In this regard, Xu Mo was also hesitant to intervene, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that as long as he planned properly, he might not need to meet the other party, and the current opportunity was very rare, so he decided to give it a try.
In the conversation between the three of them in the afternoon, it was mentioned that Xu Ling's condition was already very serious, so in order to avoid accidents, he packed up and sneaked into Xu Ling's house that night.
It is said that Xu Ling's family has forty or fifty hectares of fertile land, and there are seven or eight shops in the county, but his home is not big, just a five-entry house with a back garden.
Of course, Wujin's house is not small, but the courtyard is lifeless, and it feels like no one lives, in fact, in the process of sneaking in, he only found two people, one is a subordinate who watches horses, and the other is Xu Ling himself.
Entering Xu Ling's room, if it weren't for his extremely weak breathing, Xu Mo would have thought that he was dead, and when he lit the lamp and looked at it a little, the signs of poisoning could be easily seen from his sunken red eye sockets and blackened nails.
The turbidity in the room was very heavy, so he stuffed a heart pill into his mouth and pricked him with two more needles in the neck, and then Xu Mo walked over and opened the window, looking out of the window quietly.
Outside the window, the garden is facing the garden, and because no one takes care of it, the flowers and plants in the garden have grown wildly, showing the dilapidation after prosperity.
After a while, Xu Ling woke up.
Xu Mo sighed and said without looking back: "You're going to die." ”
Xu Ling on the bed trembled, looked at the figure standing by the window, and then said in a weak voice: "You, are you a soul envoy?"
Xu Mo shook his head, and then asked directly, "Do you want revenge?"
Hearing the word revenge, Xu Ling's eyes widened suddenly, and he struggled to look up at Xu Mo's back and said, "You, who are you?" You, can you help me take revenge?"
Xu Mo nodded, if his plan went well, Xu Gongcheng would definitely not be better, even if he didn't succeed, he could personally come forward to help him avenge him if he had the opportunity in the future.
Xu Ling's breathing became rapid, and he said in disbelief: "You, can you really avenge me......?" Him?"
Xu Mo turned his head to look at him, pointed to his head, and said, "Revenge doesn't have to be by force, it can be done with brains! Even if you can't take revenge for the time being, you can look for opportunities in the future." ”
Xu Ling stared at him wide-eyed, Xu Mo's body and age made him feel unbelievable, but his demeanor and bearing made him feel at ease, besides, Xu Mo was right, he still had a chance, and he himself ......
At this time, he felt that he was much more sober and mature, he looked at Xu Mo and asked, "Why are you helping me?"
Xu Mo looked at him and said, "Your everything!"
