Chapter 15: The Son of Mo Peng
In the next half month, Mo Erha got up early every day to practice at night under the supervision of Mo Laosan, while Tuchen sat on the sidelines and watched, occasionally following the comparison.
There are many contents of practice, drawing talismans out of thin air is only one of them, and it is more about kung fu and internal force training.
In his spare time, Mo Erha told Tuchen that his father was an excellent exorcist hunter. In the past 20 years, there have been countless demon hunts, from tigers and black bears to pheasants and hares. Now put away the demon slayer knife and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, the only regret is that he has been hunting demons for a lifetime, and he has not gotten a rank name until the end. That's why I pinned my hopes on him, hoping that he could go to the legitimate demon hunting sect to study and add glory to the Mo family ancestor in the future.
Half a moon passed in the blink of an eye, and in the early morning of this day, Mo Laosan rummaged through the cabinets and found two sets of brand new clothes for the two of them. Then he personally handed over a pale cyan three-foot short knife to Mo Erha: "This demon slaying knife has been with Lao Tzu for more than 20 years, and it can always turn things around at critical moments, you take good care of it, you have to use it if it is not ten thousand, and you can't show it off at will!"
Although Mo Erha usually looks like he is always smiling, he really wants to be separated from his father at this time, and his heart is very sour. Stretched out his hands and took the demon slaying knife with a solemn face, his eyes were slightly red: "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely be able to enter the Spirit Valley and become an exorcist hunter as powerful as you!"
"Forget it, don't use your dad as an example. Mo Laosan smiled bitterly: "Linggu is the number one exorcism sect in the world, and there are thousands of people who participate in the selection of the valley every year, including some hermit masters. Remember, don't be reckless, it's still the same sentence, only if you live can you start again!"
After some mother-in-law's instructions, Mo Erha and Tuchen left the wooden house under the eyes of Mo Laosan and headed towards Hudu, one hundred and fifty kilometers away on the east side of the Cold Water Forest......
On the way, Tuchen was curious about the conversation between Mo Laosan's father and son when they parted, so he asked: "There are so many people who want to be exorcist hunters every year, so are there so many people living in the Spirit Valley?"
Mo Erha shook his head slightly: "The selection requirements of Linggu are very harsh, and it is even more difficult to become a disciple of Linggu, thousands of people come from all over to participate in the selection every year, and in the end, only a handful can really stay." To be honest, I didn't feel anything before I left, but now I don't know what's wrong, and the closer I get to Toto, the more bottomless I feel......"
As they spoke, the two of them had walked out of the forest on a dirt and stone path, the hoof prints on the ground were continuous, and dust and smoke were wafting in the air, which should be a road for horses.
Mo Erha quipped: "You said that there is no 'flying talisman' in the seventy-two exorcism talismans taught by my father, otherwise I will compare two times and we will be able to reach the entrance of Hudu City in a blink of an eye." ”
Tuchen stared at the hoof prints on the path for a moment: "There should be horses passing by here from time to time, we can find someone to take a short ride." ”
"Forget it, this kind of place is just a pedestrian for a few days, and when we meet, it is estimated that we will soon be in the place......" As soon as the words fell, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near from behind.
Mo Erha pricked up his ears and listened, and suddenly his face was happy, and he turned his head to see five figures riding fast horses in the vast green forest. The leader was a man in white, dressed very richly, riding on horseback and holding a folding fan in his hand, and his face was full of pride. The other four appear to be retinues, dressed in gray robes with identical scimitars hanging from their waists.
The five men rode fast horses on the winding path, and did not pause before they approached, and galloped away with the dust and smoke.
Mo Erha had just raised his hand and was already submerged in the dust and mist before he could speak......
Towards noon, the two had completely left the mountains and forests and walked on the rocky avenue, and the number of vehicles and pedestrians gradually increased. Mo Erha stretched out his hand to stop a carriage, and approached the coachman with a hippie smile: "Uncle, our two brothers are going to Hudu, but the distance is far away and our feet are tired. Do you see if there is any rich place in the car, so it's convenient?"
The coachman looked embarrassed when he heard the sound, turned his head and asked softly through the curtain: "Young master, there are two people who want to take our car, ...... look?"
"I'm bored by myself anyway, so let them come up. ”
The voice was very simple, and when the curtain was lifted, a young man of the same age as Mo Erha sat in it, dressed in a gold silk cloth robe, luxurious and rich.
The young man was very enthusiastic, and before the two of them sat down, he began to introduce himself: "My name is Mo Wenyu, and I happen to be going to Hudu." What about you, what are your names, and what are you doing in your homes?"
Hearing that the young man was also surnamed Mo, Mo Erha instantly became enthusiastic, grinning and laughing while replying: "What a coincidence, my surname is also Mo, you can call me Erha." He's Tuchen, my brother. We're going to Hudu to participate in the selection of Linggu disciples, what about you?"
"That's really a coincidence!" Mo Wenyu also laughed: "I also went to participate in the selection of Linggu disciples, so let's go all the way to the end!" Hahaha......
Hearing this, Mo Erha and Tuchen both showed a little surprise on their faces. Because the Mo Wenyu in front of him is full of a literati atmosphere in terms of temperament, clothing and appearance, and it is really difficult to associate him with an exorcist hunter.
Mo Erha laughed dryly and pointed at Mo Wenyu's slender fingers like a woman: "You...... You want to be an exorcist too?"
"What? can't it?" Mo Wenyu clenched his fists: "Don't worry, my Mo family's exercises are mainly soft, don't look at me like this, it's actually very powerful!
Mo Erha continued to smile dryly and shook his head: "Ang...... Still don't need to, I'm afraid of killing people......"
"What did you say?"
"No...... I mean...... I'm sure you're amazing...... Hehehe......"
..................
After two days and one night of traveling, the carriage finally entered the city of Hudu.
Although I had heard Mo Laosan's introduction before, the area and prosperity of Hudu still far exceeded the expectations of the two. The large number of people on the street is almost walking on their toes, and the things sold on the street stalls are also varied......
found an inn, Mo Wenyu paid for the room for them, and asked for a large table of good wine and food, which was to boost morale before participating in the selection. Mo Erha stuffed his mouth full of chicken and asked vaguely: "Brother Mo, your family is so rich, why don't you even have a follower this time?"
Mo Wenyu looked proud, leaned closer and whispered: "Let's be honest with you, in fact, I ran out secretly, and it is estimated that my father is now in a rage and sent someone to find me! hahaha......"
As he was talking, the voices of the two strong men at the adjacent table came: "Let me tell you, this year's selection is easier than in previous years, and people like our brothers can be selected easily!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Reliable news, in this year's selection, both the Liu family and the Mo family chose to give up. There is only one young master of the Lin family left, although it is powerful, but the selection of thousands of people, no matter how bad the luck is, the probability of meeting him as an opponent is very small! In addition to the people of these three major families, we are still afraid of a fart! Are you right? Hahaha......
"The eldest brother's analysis makes sense, come, the younger brother toasts you with a ......"
After listening to this conversation, Mo Wenyu's face became even more proud, patted his chest and whispered, "I heard it, actually...... I am the young master of the Mo family!"
"Are you the young master of the Mo family!?" Mo Erha's eyes widened and he shook his head: "I don't know ......"
Tuchen also whispered: "What are the three major families, are they very powerful?"
Mo Wenyu's face was full of black lines after hearing this, and he looked at the two of them extremely helplessly: "Haven't you heard of the three major families of the Mo family, the Liu family, and the Lin family?
The two shook their heads in unison, and Mo Erha suddenly patted his head: "Mo Peng...... I remembered that my father had said before that Mo, Liu, and Lin were the top families of the three martial arts, and they had been masters for generations. The Liu family is famous for its weapons, eighteen kinds of weapons, and thirty-six kinds of hidden weapons. The Lin family is famous for its use of poison, which can take people's lives hundreds of miles away. The Mo family is famous for jiu-jitsu, but I really don't know why this jiu-jitsu is famous......"
"No, no, although our Mo family is famous for jiu-jitsu, but the real power is physical arts. Saying that, Mo Wenyu put the thin-necked bottle containing the wine in front of him, picked up a peanut and threw it in: "If you don't move the wine bottle and don't spill the wine, which of you two can take out the peanuts?"
Mo Erha stretched out his hand and tried it, and then stuck out his tongue: "This bottle can't even stick a little finger into it, unless the wine bottle is upside down, but in this way, the wine will be spilled......"
Mo Wenyu smiled slightly, raised his right hand and aimed his index finger and middle finger at the mouth of the bottle, and then the afterimage flashed, and the peanut rice suddenly appeared between the two fingers......
