Chapter 5: The Road Ahead
The marrow of the earth is the essence of the earth, the essence of the earth gathered, and it is infinitely useful to the human body, which can warm the meridians, strengthen the body, and nourish the vitality, which is the supreme miracle medicine.
Although Zhang Mo has been in a coma over the years, he has heard of the name of the marrow more than once, and even his father once got a drop of the marrow for him to take, hoping to awaken his senses, although it was not successful, but it also allowed Zhang Mo to experience the wonder of the marrow.
The earth marrow belongs to the natural generation of heaven and earth, and every place where the earth marrow is generated is precious, and has always been controlled by major forces, and how many are not too much, and they are not enough. Therefore, the marrow rarely flows out, and those who can use it do not feel precious, but for those who can't use it, it is simply a legendary thing.
Tian Runyu, as the master of the county order, was already qualified to come into contact with such an item as the marrow, so Zhang Mo wanted to open the gap from him and get some marrow for himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said his request, the other party reacted so much.
"Hehehe, it seems, I underestimated the importance of the marrow, and I overestimated yours. That's all you can do to me, and if you can't meet my requirements, I'll let you know what life is better than death, and what is a luxury. ”
The other party is a well-informed master, Zhang Mo will naturally not be deceived by him in a few words, if he really doesn't have this ability, he will definitely make him suffer a little.
Although he doesn't know the spiritual secret technique at all, but with strong spiritual power, it is not a problem for him to use some simple means: strong capital is capital.
"Five drops, I can get five drops of marrow at most, and I can't take it out all at once, I need to ask for it from the county order one after another, and I can get it within a month. ”
"Five drops, send them to me tonight, if you can do it, you will live, if you can't do it, you will die, you don't have to bargain with me, this is not a trade, even if it is a deal, the deal is only your life. ”
Hearing Zhang Mo say this, Tian Runyu thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go back and find a way, and I'll send the pulp tonight." I just hope that the young man can raise his noble hand and let me live after getting the marrow. But please rest assured, I will not appear again after this incident, and I will not cause trouble for Shaoxia. ”
"That's it, let's go. ”
After getting rid of these people, solving all the problems, and not caring about what they were going to do, Zhang Mo took Zhao Tiezhu and the two of them rushed back.
On the way, Zhao Tiezhu wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but in the end he didn't make a sound, looking at Zhang Mo's eyes, faintly afraid.
"Brother Tiezhu, I know you have something to ask me, but I won't tell you now, when I get home in a while, I will say it carefully, and when the provincial aunt asks, I have to say it twice. ”
"Then let's hurry up, I have something to ask you, hurry up and say it when you get home." ”
"You're really an anxious person, I'm not as strong as you, I'm not in a hurry, don't worry, don't worry. ”
Zhao Tiezhu was a little anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, Zhang Mo looked at it and felt funny, but he didn't see it, he still walked unhurriedly, and bought some food on the way.
When he got home, Zhao Tiezhu's mother had already cooked the meal, and the table was full, which looked very rich, and with some cooked dishes bought by Zhang Mo, it was even more sumptuous.
Zhao Tiezhu's mother was a little surprised when she saw them coming back so early, "You came back so soon? ”
"Bullying, not just bullying, those two bastards almost beat Zhang Mo stupid again, if I want to say, I should kill the two of them. ”
As soon as he heard Zhao Tiezhu say this, his mother's face was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and she asked directly: "Beat me stupid again? What's the matter? You explain it to me clearly." ”
"Listen to me, that's the way it is. Zhao Tiezhu told his mother what happened to him, not to mention, this kid is eloquent, he speaks very methodically, and explains what happened clearly in the most concise language.
After finishing speaking, the two of them all stared at Zhang Mo, wanting to hear how he explained, anyway, he also said just now, he wanted to explain things carefully.
"Brother Tiezhu, aunt, the matter is actually very simple, that is, I have not been a fool in the past fifteen years, in fact, I can probably feel what is happening outside, but sometimes I feel it clearly, sometimes I feel it vaguely. In the past fifteen years, my spirit has been isolated from **, and I have been in a state of confusion, looking like a fool, but in fact, my spirit has been exercised, so it will cause my mental power to be particularly strong, in fact, it is not a spiritual secret technique at all, they are all scared by themselves, even if they don't come today, after a period of time, the spiritual impact will naturally subside. ”
Zhang Mo didn't hide anything from them, these two people can be said to be the best people in the world for themselves, except for the dead father, no one can compare with these two people, if they have to hide from them, wouldn't it be too sad to live by themselves.
Hearing Zhang Mo say this, the two first looked at each other, feeling that Zhang Mo had lived a very bizarre fifteen years, and then couldn't help laughing, feeling that such a punishment was really relieving.
The three of them finished the meal with a smile, and it was still early in the evening, so they sat together and chatted casually, waiting for the three fools to deliver the things.
Chatting and chatting, he couldn't help but say that in terms of his plans for the future, now Zhang Mo has three acres of spiritual land in his hands, and there are many things to do, and there must be a plan for how to live in the future.
Speaking of this, Zhao Tiezhu waved his hand: "Of course Zhang Mo has to practice martial arts, now you are a person in the Liufeng Boxing Arena, this is the advantage, you are only fifteen years old, it is not too late to practice martial arts, especially if you can still use the marrow, with such a good foundation, wouldn't it be blind if you don't practice martial arts." ”
"Although it is good to practice martial arts, but you have Lingtian in hand, you don't necessarily have to suffer that sin, as long as you manage Lingtian well, it is enough to pass on the inheritance to future generations. ”
"Mom, don't you just see that little spiritual field, no matter how good the business is, what's the use? If you practice martial arts, it's different, as long as you practice well, you can be selected to enter the martial arts hall in the future, and if you have the qualifications for junior high school, you can still enter the Taoist Academy if you don't get it, if you really enter the Taoist Academy, then the future is immeasurable, what is the small three acres of spiritual field, and when the time comes, it's not how much, how much. ”
Zhao Tiezhu and his mother reached out and patted him on the head, glared at him and said: "What kind of sweet dreams are you, return to the Taoist Academy, do you still want to say that you can become an outer disciple of the Xianmen in the future? From now on, when you step into the Xianmen, you can fly to the sky? How old are you, and you still want these beautiful things." How much, how much, don't you say get me three acres of spiritual land, if you have the ability, you can buy me three catties of spiritual meat, if you don't have money, I'll see what you can do. ”
"It's not a big deal to become a disciple of the outer sect, don't use money to talk about me every day, after I enter the martial arts hall, it's not easy to make money?
Hearing her son say this, this time Zhao Tiezhu's mother didn't get angry, just sighed and said: "Tiezhu, you are the chief disciple of the Liufeng Boxing Arena, it must be no problem to enter the martial arts hall, but Zhang Mo is different, he has been in a coma for more than ten years, and it is definitely too late to start practicing martial arts now, instead of wasting time on these unrealistic ideas, it is better to manage Lingtian well." When the time comes, you will be able to live a good life when you are outside, don't think too much. ”
"That's what you think, you just want to live a peaceful life, but Zhang Mo doesn't necessarily think so. What the hell do you want to do?
The two of them were about to quarrel, but the party Zhang Mo was on the side, and he didn't even have a chance to speak, as if what he wanted to decide was not Zhang Mo's future.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Mo could only say that he was speechless, because this was not the first time they had quarreled, during this time of talking and chatting, the two of them had quarreled many times, and this way of speaking, it seemed that neither of them felt inappropriate.
"Me, do you still know to ask my opinion, really, you can't say a few words before you start arguing after a few words?!"
"Hey, get used to it, get used to it, let's talk like this, if you let me have a good talk with my mother, I guess she won't feel comfortable, it's okay, you don't have to care. Tell me what you think?!"
Zhao Tiezhu was beaten again, with his skills, he could easily avoid it, but he waited to be beaten in place, and laughed stupidly twice after being beaten, which shows that the relationship between their mother and son is indeed not ordinary, but the way of expression is different.
Zhang Mo didn't see it, and Zhengse said to the two: "Auntie, I think what Brother Tiezhu said makes sense, entering the boxing arena and entering the martial arts hall is the best way out for our civilians, even if you can't enter the Taoist Academy at all, you can also seek a position in the army of the imperial court, even if you start from a small soldier, you can have a good future." Besides, I was originally a disciple of the Flowing Wind Boxing Stadium now, although it was because of my father's arrangement that I had this identity, but for fifteen years, I have been living there, and I don't really know anything, if I go to the boxing ring, I will have some advantages. ”
Seeing that the two of them were listening carefully, Zhang Mo continued: "As for the three acres of spiritual land, of course I will not give up the operation, that will be the foundation of our future survival, and it is also the retreat of me and Brother Tiezhu, even if we don't mix well in the boxing ring, we can come back and be a landlord, at least it won't be worse than now." ”
"Zhang Mo, what you said is not right, these three acres of spiritual land were left to you by your father, and that is your last capital, how can it be said that it is our retreat? If that is the case, wouldn't we become greedy for your spiritual field? If you say that, we are not even as good as your two uncles. ”
"Brother Tiezhu, don't say that, I can't manage three acres of spiritual land myself, rather than looking for others to help, it's better to do it yourself. And I wouldn't have been able to live so well without you all these years, and I'm not really stupid, I have an impression of what happened. If you can't accept it, then I'll become a conscienceless! What happened to the three acres of spiritual land? Not to mention that we will run it together, even if we give it to you, I am willing. ”
Zhang Mo said these words categorically, Zhao Tiezhu wanted to say something more, but his mother said: "Okay, don't argue about this matter, Lingtian just got it back, whether it can be managed well or not, this issue will be put aside." Xiao Mo, you have to think clearly, with Lingtian in hand, your future life will definitely be guaranteed, but once you choose to practice martial arts, there are many dangers that cannot be avoided, and once something happens, ??????
"Auntie, don't worry, even if you don't practice martial arts, many dangers can't be avoided at all, as long as you live, you will have to face all kinds of incidents. Take today's incident as an example, if it weren't for me to deter Tian Runyu and them, it is not certain who owns these three acres of spiritual land, let alone they will compensate us. This world, in the final analysis, is still obeying the law of the jungle, but many things are covered up by all kinds of illusions, if you can't become stronger, you can only passively bear in the changes, and even be devoured. ”
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, you could say such insightful words, just like your father, who is so stubborn. ”
"Auntie, do you know my father very well? Can you tell me about him? I can feel what is happening outside, but my father rarely talks to me, and I don't even know how he died. ”
"Your father?!" Zhao Tiezhu's mother showed a look of reminiscence, and seemed to murmur unconsciously: "He is a real husband and a very responsible man." ”
"Your father and I met in the Flowing Wind Stadium, and he was the chief disciple of the Flowing Wind Stadium at that time, which is really beautiful. And my father is just a servant in the Flowing Wind Boxing Stadium, but the two of them can talk very well, although your father is famous, but he has no fight at all, and we were acquaintances at that time. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Tiezhu's mother woke up in her memories and continued to say to the two: "It's just that later, your father was admitted to the Liufeng Martial Arts Gym, and the connection between us was broken, and he and your mother met in the Martial Arts Gym, as for what happened between the two, I don't know." I only know that when your father finds me, it will be just the two of you, and I have never met your mother. ”
"And how did he die? All I know is that one day he left to find a medicine for me that would awaken my senses, but never came back. ”
For his mother, of course Zhang Mo knew some circumstances, the reasons and whereabouts of her leaving her, she knew it in her heart, but there was no need to tell others, so he skipped this question.
"After your father found me, he asked me to take care of you in normal times, and then he kept going out to find a cure for you, and he always believed that you were not a fool at all, and that you could be cured. Now it seems that your father's understanding of you is really accurate, you are indeed not a fool, but it is a pity that he did not see this day. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Tiezhu's mother's face was a little unsightly, but she still spoke: "Your father has been here too many times, and what he did was not kept secret, Tiezhu and his father knew about these things, so he started looking for medicine with your father." Oh, Tiezhu's father is a medicine picker, and his ability to find medicine is extraordinary, and your father also admires him very much. ”
Speaking of this, his voice gradually deepened, but there was not much pause, and he continued: "That time your father also went to look for medicine, it seems that the place he went to is very dangerous, I heard that Tiezhu and his father have been stopping it, but unfortunately that medicinal herb seems to be very important to you, and your father has to go. Originally, he wanted to go alone, but Tiezhu's father was not at ease and insisted on going with him, but this time, he didn't expect it to be goodbye. ”
"What, my uncle ?????? because he was looking for medicine for me."
"That's right, your father never came back, but Tiezhu's father came back, and when he came back, he was already unconscious, and only woke up for a while before he died, but he told us to take care of you, and said that what happened inside was complicated, and his death had nothing to do with your father. By the way, he also handed me a thing, saying that your father left it for you, and asked me to keep it and give it to you when you wake up. ”
When Zhang Mo heard this, his brows furrowed, although he knew that he was not stupid, but his spirit had been suppressed by the Holy Spirit Stage, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was like a fool, why was his father so sure, thinking that he was not a fool at all, and he had left something for himself? What the hell is going on?!
Of course, it was useless to think more, Zhao Tiezhu's mother gave him the things, he opened it on the spot and looked at it, it was just a somewhat strange animal skin, a very ordinary-looking stone, and he couldn't see anything different.
"I've seen these two things before, but I don't know what they are, so I'll leave them to you, and whatever secrets you have, you'll be able to handle them yourself. ”
Zhang Mo nodded and put the things away, he didn't blame Zhao Tiezhu's mother for seeing this thing, if it was himself, he had to take a good look before he was willing, this is human nature, it's not a big deal.
The three of them said something in bits and pieces, most of them were some daily routines, and Zhang Mo asked Zhao Tiezhu some common sense about cultivation to prepare for his future life, after all, fifteen years of specious foolish life made him not understand many things, which can be described as an extreme lack of common sense in life, so at this time, it is natural to seize the time to make up for it.
Before they knew it, time passed very quickly, and seeing that the sky was about to darken, the three of them couldn't help but start looking forward to it, waiting for those 'wealth boys' to deliver things one by one.
