Chapter 16 The Coming of the Branch
At this point, he didn't refuse anyone, nodded and said, "Since the seniors can see it, then please come in." ”
The fat old man stepped into the door and said with a smile: "By the way, I still have an apprentice behind me, how about accommodating one more person?"
Li Mo smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, anyway, there are many rooms, and there are not many more people." ”
The fat old man suddenly laughed and said: "Little brother is young, this mind is indeed broad, I like the old man very much, I don't know how to call it?"
"The surname is Li. Li Mo replied.
"It turned out to be Little Brother Li......" The fat old man was talking, and there was footsteps behind him, and then he saw a thin-faced young man in his early twenties rushing over.
He wiped the sweat from his head and complained, "I said master, can you walk slowly." It's really tiring to run in this barren mountain and wilderness. ”
"I tell you to work weekdays, but now you know that your cultivation is insufficient, right? How can you go to learn from your senior brothers like this?" the fat old man changed his smile and said with a slight sternness.
"I know, just don't shout tired. The thin-faced young man was honest and replied in a proper manner.
The fat old man smiled and said to Li Mo: "Let the little brother laugh, this is my unangry apprentice, named Guo Xiaojie, and my name is Guo Shanming, old man." ”
After that, he patted Guo Xiaojie's head and said, "I haven't seen this senior brother yet." ”
"Yes, I've seen Senior Brother. "Besides, Xiaojie Lao practiced a salute.
Li Mo nodded slightly and said, "Please come in the two." ”
All the way to the hall, Xiao Hei lay in the corner of the hall, glanced at Guo Shanming and the others, and then continued to doze off.
The six-eyed condor stood on one side of the big tree, looking at the surrounding scene.
Guo Shanming looked left and right, admired the building very much, and then suddenly asked: "Little Brother Li is a person?"
"No, there's a companion with you. Li Mo replied.
"Then Little Brother Li is from a nearby sect?" asked Guo Shanming again.
"It's not. Li Mo shook his head.
Guo Shanming couldn't help but praise: "Xiaojie, look at this little brother, he dared to practice outside at a young age, and you must learn this courage." ”
"Yes. Guo Xiaojie nodded, and couldn't help asking, "I said Senior Brother Li, just the two of you are training outside, so you are not afraid of encountering danger? ”
Li Mo smiled slightly and said, "Then I am lucky, I haven't met any bandits yet." Besides, it's not an experience, it's just a hurry. ”
"Then where is Little Brother Li going?" asked Guo Shanming.
"Kuju River Ferry. Li Mo replied calmly.
Guo Shanming suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "This is really a coincidence, we are also going to the Jiuzhong River ferry, just all the way." ”
Li Mo smiled slightly, but didn't say much.
These two people are good-natured and seem to be temperamental. Besides, since they are from Hengzhou, it is not bad for them to know about the affairs of Hengzhou.
At this time, Song Shuyao walked out of the hall, and before he could speak, Guo Shanming jumped up suddenly, and shouted with wide eyes: "My good man, is this a heavenly immortal? ”
The master is like this, and the apprentice is also exaggerated, but Xiaojie is mouth is wide open, and the whole person is petrified.
Song Shuyao smiled lightly and said, "The seniors have won the award, but they are just a skin." ”
"It's a good sentence, it can be seen that the little girl, you have a very high understanding. Guo Shanming gave a thumbs up and praised, and then smiled at Li Mo, "I said that little brother, you are really a blessing, there is such a beauty as a lady, if it were an old man, I would really wake up laughing in my dreams." ”
Li Mo coughed lightly and glanced at Song Shuyao cautiously.
If it was in the past, Song Shuyao would have been calm and calm, and replied with a smile.
But after the fragrant thing just now, the beautiful woman's ears were slightly red at this time.
Li Mo's heart fluttered when he saw it, and he felt that it was embarrassing to explain this matter, so he simply changed the topic and said, "I don't know which sect the predecessor came from?"
"You must not know the old man's sect when it comes to it, but when it comes to the Three Generals, it is estimated that Little Brother Li has heard of it. Guo Shanming said.
Li Mo nodded, there are ten famous sects in the land of Hengzhou, Nanhou Hall is one of them, and the Three Generals Gate is also one of them, all of which are sects established on the basis of the famous families in the imperial city.
And the distance between Sanjiangmen and Nanhou Hall is not too far, which is also an important reason why Song Shuyao chose to cross the Jiuzhong River.
Because Li Mo entered the land of Hengzhou, in addition to chasing the Demon Heart Stone Spirit, he also had a heavy goal that would never be forgotten, that is, to kill Qiao Tianye to pay for the death of his fellow disciples who died in Miluo Mountain.
However, I heard that there is a turf dispute between Sanjiangmen and Nanhou Palace, and they have always been at odds.
At this time, Guo Shanming said: "Old man, the sect I am in is a branch of the Sanjiang Sect, and there are many branches like ours, which are called 'branch sects'. Every three years, the sect will hold a branch assembly to select the talents of the branch sect to serve in the inner gate. ”
Li Mo understood and said, "Is that a good situation?"
Guo Xiaojie replied seriously: "Compared to other branch sects, our sect is very small, but since I represent the reputation of the sect, I will definitely go all out this time to not disgrace the masters and uncles." ”
"Good boy, you finally said a good word. Kuyama laughed.
After chatting for a while, Guo Shanming took his apprentice to choose two rooms to live in, Song Shuyao also went back to the house, and Li Mo returned to the room.
Thinking about the fragrant thing just now, I can't help but have a lot of aftertaste, and I think of Su Yan's little mouth, which is pink and silky, and the aftertaste is lingering, I don't know what the taste of this little mouth of the daughter of the royal family is.
However, it will not work today, and we can only talk about it another day.
He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and the mind of the Seven Killing Canglong Slash floated in his mind, and he began to cultivate.
As an eighth-rank extremely difficult royal non-transmission study, the mental method of killing the dragon is quite difficult, and the words contain Qiankun, ordinary people are involved, and it is difficult to make any progress, but Li Mo reads it as if he has opened a new world.
Unlike ordinary martial arts, the Seven Kills Canglong Slash is driven by killing intent.
The stronger the killing intent, the power of the Seven Killing Canglong Slash can also rise endlessly.
However, a strong killing intent will make people have a murderous desire and ferocity, so that they can easily fall into the evil path.
Therefore, before cultivating the first form of the Seven Killing Canglong Slash, you need to cultivate the Mental Method: Killing Intent Chain.
The chain of killing intent is to condense the killing intent into a chain and attach it to the weapon.
The chains change as the killing intent expands, increasing the weapon's power.
The most important thing is that when the killing intent is close to the killing desire, the chains will shatter. At that time, you must accept the recruitment, otherwise you will fall into the evil way.
Li Mo held a thousand army slashes, carried the mental method, and as soon as the killing intent moved, the true qi began to condense at the end of the hilt, and in an instant, a fiery red chain half a foot long was formed.
As soon as the chains appeared, the thousands of troops slashed and suddenly the flames were self-generated, soaring and dazzling.
"It's so strong!"
Li Mo's eyes shone.
Just half a foot long chain of killing intent would increase the power of the Thousand Army Slash a lot, and if the chain could be extended tenfold, the combat power would be doubled.
In the next three nights, Li Mo concentrated on cultivating the chain of killing intent, and gradually got better, and on the morning of the fourth day, the group arrived at the crossing of the Jiuzhong River.
It is said to be a ferry, but it is actually a small city of Xuanmen, because the Jiuzhong River is an important waterway connecting the land of Hengzhou, and as the place where the ferry is located, it enjoys the convenience of geography and is very prosperous.
As soon as you enter the city, it is a scene of busy traffic, and the most eye-catching thing is the many brute beast mounts, including ordinary high-end horses, as well as tigers, leopards, lions and elephants, and most of the people who can own these mounts are from famous families.
Hengzhou was originally not big, but there were ten famous sects, and the strength of each famous sect was on par with the state-level sects, so crowded in such a place, it was natural that you could see people with backstage everywhere.
"Master, that's the reception of the Three Generals!"
Besides, Xiaojie was sharp-eyed, and at a glance he saw a sign on the street in front of him.
Guo Shanming smiled and said: "Little brother, don't look at this small city, but the population is very large, and the supply of rented houses is in short supply." But old man, I can get two compounds belonging to Sanjiangmen for free at the reception, and how about dividing one for the little brother to live temporarily?"
"Then thank you for your kindness. Li Mo nodded.
He had already heard from Song Shuyao that the Jiuzhong River ferry only opened once every half a month, and now it has just entered the early spring year, that is, it will wait for half a month to have a boat.
In addition, if you have to wait here for Su Yan's second daughter to come over, you must stay for a while.
Then, Kuyama arrived at the reception and obtained the free use of the two mansions with the token of the clan elder.
After taking the key, the group rushed to the residential area of North Main Street.
The two mansions are next to each other, and the scale is also good.
Pushing open the door and entering, the two of them walked around the house, chose their respective rooms, and then Li Mo set up a few simple formations around the perimeter for defense.
As soon as I finished setting up the formation in the courtyard, I heard someone knocking on the door.
As soon as he opened it, Guo Xiaojie asked excitedly, "Senior Brother Li, do you want to go to the market?"
"I'm getting ready to go. ”
Li Mo smiled, it was true that the ferry market was the place he had planned to go.
So Song Shuyao was called, and the three of them went out of the residential area.
The little black fart followed behind, and the six-eyed condor fell on Li Mo's shoulder.
It was obviously not the first time Xiaojie had come here, and it didn't take long for him to bring the two to the market.
As far as the eye can see, the market is extremely prosperous, the streets are lined with door-to-door shops, all of them are doing business, and even the streets and alleys are full of people, and all kinds of mobile stalls are one after another.
Li Mo only walked for a while before he found what he needed, and bought ten parts of the worm blood for the price of 30,000 spirit stones.
This thing was originally a difficult thing to find, and it was difficult to buy a copy of ten thousand spirit stones in other places, but here it is abundant in quantity and low in price.
And the most important reason why Li Mo came to the market was, of course, to prepare for refining puppets.
In the Jade Slip data, the last three methods have not been tried, but these three methods are the culmination of various failures, and they are also the most likely methods to achieve puppet heart refining.
However, the materials for these three methods are very difficult to find, so Li Mo wanted to take a look at this market early on.
Now along the way, all kinds of materials are easily in the bag, what is the sap of the three woods, the skin of the frog in the hills, the tail of the barren sand shrimp, etc., plus the various brute beasts required Neidan can be said to have everything here, which greatly saves the time of finding things.
