Chapter 9 The Nie Family

In the middle of the night, Li Mo left the house and arrived all the way to the shore northeast of Baikeng Island.

It's a long way from the pier on Zangjin Island, which is the only way to get to Zangjin Island.

In addition to the required boats, the most important thing is how to avoid the large number of reefs around Zangjin Island, and only boatmen who are familiar with the location of the reefs can safely navigate the boats.

In history, the government has encircled and suppressed the Eagle Mountain Lake Village many times, but all of them ended in failure, and this reef has a large factor.

But Li Mo was naturally an exception, he released the six-eyed condor, and flew towards Zangjin Island on Xiao Hei.

Night is the best protective color of the dark dragon, it becomes one with the dark night, and no matter how hard the people on the ground are, they don't want to find the clues.

Crossing the lake, it didn't take long for Li Mo to arrive above the Zangjin Island, and with the transcendent vision of the six-eyed eagle, he took in the entire Zangjin Island.

Perimeter fortifications, stone-walled towers, street mansions, and the large village standing on the highest part of the island are clearly visible.

Soon, Li Mo discovered that there was a separate residential area on the cliff to the north of the island.

There are dozens of courtyards, which can accommodate more than 100 people.

At this time, the lights were still bright, and Li Mo swept it away and fell into a courtyard to the south.

A thin-looking sixty-year-old man stood in the courtyard, directing several young people to clean up the dried medicinal herbs.

"Third uncle. ”

Li Mo recognized the old man at a glance and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Among so many Nie family members, he cares most about the third uncle Nie Zhenghai, he is his father's younger brother, he loves himself since he was a child, and his relationship is much deeper than that of other clansmen.

I haven't seen him for eight years, and the third uncle has aged a lot, and his eyebrows are full of melancholy.

The inventory of medicinal materials in the courtyard was quickly over, and Nie Zhenghai walked towards the east bedroom after finishing his order.

As soon as he entered with his front foot, before he could close the door, Li Mo walked in with his back foot.

"You ......"

Nie Zhenghai saw a strange young man walk into the house, and looked him up and down in surprise.

"Third uncle, it's me, Nie Yu. ”

Li Mo said straight to the point.

"What?"

Nie Zhenghai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you, what are you doing here talking nonsense?"

"I naturally don't know the third uncle like me now, but I'm the real Nie Yu. I remember that when my father died of illness, it was the funeral organized by the third uncle, a coffin of three taels of silver, a set of shrouds fifty wen, nine feet of white cloth, and a mattress and candles, a total of four taels and thirty-two wen. Li said sincerely.

Nie Zhenghai was shocked when he heard this, and Li Mo recalled: "Three years later, in the winter, the third uncle asked me to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that night, and I handed you the silver taels that I had accumulated for three years, saying that it was the money for the funeral. But the third uncle, you sternly refused, saying that how could you accept money from your nephew for your brother's funeral. He also said that if he had to keep the money, he would not come to eat after this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

Nie Zhenghai was moved when he heard this, walked a few steps quickly, hugged him, and said excitedly: "It's really you kid, God has eyes, God has eyes." ”

He burst into tears, but the gloom on his face was swept away, and then he immediately asked, "So it wasn't you who was killed in the Imperial City back then?" Could it be that you changed your appearance and escaped?"

"It's a long story, but it's good that you know I'm still alive. I have been cultivating in Yanshan Country for all these years, and I have just recently returned to China, and I heard the news from the shopkeeper of Jijiao Medicine Workshop that Sanbo you might be here, so I rushed over overnight. Li Mo explained.

"You've really found the right person, and if you ask other people, you probably don't know. There is a branch shop set up by the shopkeeper Cao on Baikeng Island, perhaps from where he got the news. Nie Zhenghai nodded.

"Are the other uncles here now?" asked Li Mo.

"It's all here, since the news of your accident reached the city, our Nie family is very uneasy, and the clansmen are discussing whether to go out to avoid the limelight, but before it moves, the lord of Liang Zhai sent someone over, saying that the emperor issued a holy decree to kill the nine clans, eight hundred miles of urgency, and left with us overnight, and we have been living on this island for eight years. ”

Nie Zhenghai sighed, thinking of the events of the year and still having palpitations.

"What does this Liang Zhai Master have to do with our Nie family?

Li Mo asked.

Nie Zhenghai snorted, slapped his face on the table and said, "He has nothing to do with our Nie family, of course there is a purpose for saving us, and one of them is for your Danshu." ”

"I see......"

Li Mo suddenly understood.

Things started more than ten years ago, when Li Mo was already the chief elder of the Imperial City Hospital. When he returned to his hometown to worship his parents that year and temporarily lived in Yong'an City, the head of the family, Nie Wenfeng, asked him to train alchemists for the Nie family.

At that time, Nie Yu took a look and found that there were a few good seedlings at home, so he carefully taught for half a month, and left a book of Dan.

This book was written by him, and it contains various experiences of the Dan Dao and even some of the improved Dan recipes.

"This matter was originally a secret of our Nie family, but I don't know where Liang Dong learned about it, and after pretending to be kind to bring us to the island that night, he revealed his true colors and forced us to give him the book of Dan. Nie Zhenghai said indignantly.

"It's just a book of Dan, and it's a good deal to exchange it for your life. Li Mo didn't give up the Dan book, but he wrote it casually.

"Indeed, that's what we thought at the time. Thinking of giving him the Dan book, we can also leave and find a place to live. However, that Liang Dong imprisoned us here, and all the soft savings we brought were taken away, and then Nie Yan and several of the young children who were favored by you at the beginning were forced to become alchemists in the village and alchemy for them. ”

Nie Zhenghai said in a deep voice.

"Hmph! What a beam, so down. ”

Li Mo snorted coldly.

took advantage of the crisis of the Nie family to take the Danshu and collect the family property, which is all right, but it is just something outside the body.

However, the imprisoned clansmen even regarded Nie Yan and the others as tools for alchemy and wealth, so this point could not be left alone.

Nie Zhenghai said bitterly: "Poor Yan'er, they were dragged to the alchemy courtyard in the village when they were ten years old, and they could only come back once a year. According to them, Liang Dong threatened us with our lives, asking them to go with the knowledge you imparted, and asking them to stay all night alchemy, and to serve them with whips if they did not comply. Now, eight years have passed. ”

Li Mo was angry when he heard this, and said coldly: "Don't worry, Sanbo, this matter will not be counted like this, I will definitely make Liang Dong pay the price!"

The murderous aura that overflowed made Nie Zhenghai shudder, and he hurriedly said, "This Eagle Mountain Lake Village is not simple, there are not only three thousand people and horses, but there are also many masters in the village. By the way, I've heard that someone from the Xuanmen has come over recently. ”

"It doesn't matter who he is, what backers he has, and if he bullies our Nie family, I will let him know that it is powerful. ”

Li Mo's face did not change, he said coldly, and then asked, "Third Uncle, if you leave Zangjin Island, can you think of a suitable place to live?"

"I'm afraid I'm going back to Yinchuan. Nie Zhenghai replied decisively.

"I remember that the third uncle told me before that our ancestors migrated from Yinchuan. Li Mo recalled.

Nie Zhenghai nodded and said, "The roots of the Nie family are in Yinchuan, and they are still a big family." It's a pity that Yinchuan suffered a major drought a hundred years ago, and our Nie family branched out from there and took root in Yong'an City. ”

Li Mo said: "That's it, after leaving the island, you will go back to Yinchuan first." After I go to the imperial city to see the dog emperor in the future, clear my grievances, and tell the world, you don't have to hide your identity. ”

"You're going to the Imperial City?"

Nie Zhenghai exclaimed.

"Of course, justice will be sought in the past. ”

Li Mo raised his eyebrows, and a cold glint bloomed in his eyes.

After the words fell, he smiled slightly and said, "I have my own measure in this matter, the third uncle doesn't have to worry, let's solve the current matter first, and ask the third uncle to call the head of the family and them over." ”

Nie Zhenghai nodded, and went out, and after a while, Nie Wenfeng and the other old men gathered in the house.

"Are you really Nie Yu?"

Nie Wenfeng looked at Li Mo carefully, with suspicion in his eyes.

"I remember when I was five years old, I went to the Nie family's mansion for the first time, and accidentally broke a vase, but I was taught a bad lesson by the head of the family. ”

Li Mo said unhurriedly.

Nie Wenfeng suddenly looked embarrassed, and then, Li Mo told a few old people in his family about some things when he was a child, and all the elders were ashamed and embarrassed when they heard it, and they repeatedly signaled that Li Mo didn't have to say any more, even knowing this kind of thing, how could that identity be fake.

"Yu'er came here this time to take us away. Nie Zhenghai said.

"That's great, this old man is getting moldy. That hateful Liang Dong put us under house arrest here, and we were trapped for eight years, and the old man was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he thought of it. Nie Wenfeng said happily.

"Nephew, how many people have you brought here, it's not easy to escape from Eagle Mountain Lake Village. An old man from the Nie family couldn't help but worry.

"And Nie Yan, they have to take them away, but they can't be left behind. ”

Another old man of the Nie family said.

Even the Nie family only knew that Li Modan's Dao cultivation was profound, but they didn't know the details of the martial arts, and Li Mo's battle in the Imperial City had not been rumored, let alone known to the world.

"Rest assured, uncles, since I am here, of course there is a perfect plan. And it's not about escaping, let's just swagger out. ”

Li Mo said calmly.

"Swaggering out?"

The crowd listened with wide eyes and stared at each other.

"Trouble the master of the house to assemble the team, and we'll leave. Li Mo said.

When it came to this, Nie Wenfeng immediately went to make arrangements, and it didn't take long for more than 100 members of the Nie family to gather in a corner of the residential area.

"Now it's up to them. Nie Wenfeng said.

"It's okay, let Liang Dong send them over. ”

Li Mo said lightly.

"Ask Liang Dong to send it over?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Li Mo had already turned around and walked towards the gate of the residential area, Xiao Hei followed behind, sneezing from time to time, this earthy and turbid air was quite unsuitable for it.

Snowball lay on its big head, sleeping soundly.

Along the Avenue of the Residential Area, soon come to the entrance.

On either side of the doorway were two groups of men and horses, dressed in rattan armor and armed with spears.

Seeing Li Mo coming, a young water thief at the head of the line raised his spear and asked in a deep voice: "Boy, why don't you stay in the residence, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Mo's face sank, a mere water thief guarding the door was so arrogant, which showed how much humiliation the Nie family had suffered in the past eight years, he suppressed his anger and said with a cold face: "You go and inform your village owner, just say that the Nie family has something important to discuss with him." ”

"A bunch of prisoners, there's some bullshit. Now I'm in a good mood, sir, you get out of me, otherwise ......"

The young water thief put Li Mo in his eyes and said wantonly.
