The carriage swayed forward, and the further south it went, the warmer the weather became.
Along the way, the willows are as green as smoke, the fragrance of orchids, the ice-breaking water, and the sprouting buds dispel the cold wind, and the rich spring spirit comes with a rumble. There are more and more people in the fields beside the road, fertilizing, plowing the ground, and cultivating ridges to dissipate the coldness of the winter.
Wu Gen's whole body was wrapped tightly in gauze, and it was quite difficult to even lift his hands. The battle with Gao Cheng, no, there was no battle, it was just torture, it was really miserable.
Chu Ji carefully fed Wu Gen water, and his little face showed a hint of maturity as he cherished him. Xu Nuan looked a little sad, and had not yet recovered from the shock of his grandfather's death.
On the carriage shaft, Wu Mo gently swung his riding whip and stared at the village woman in the field with her trouser legs rolled up.
Gao Cheng had already been injured and retreated. With Wu Mo by his side, Wu Gen finally had a peaceful sleep.
After walking for two days, Wu Gen finally woke up. Seeing Wu Mo Youzai Youzai chewing a piece of sheep bone, Wu Gen was furious, "You old sheep, you knew your brother was beaten, but you didn't take action earlier, which made me become like this." , be careful I will put nails in your shoes every day from now on."
Wu Mo bared his big yellow teeth, "You only have your mouth open, you deserve to be beaten to death. I didn't want to save you at all, but I reluctantly took action when I saw that little girl Chu Ji was left unattended. I'm a weakling, practice." After meditating for such a long time, I was still being pressed to the ground and rubbed like a dog.
However, being beaten once is not necessarily a bad thing. It will let you see what a real martial artist is. As the saying goes, you can't build without breaking. In the past, when you practiced martial arts, you just thought about it on your own, and the foundation was floating. You should take this opportunity to polish yourself. In two days, find a quieter place and I will recuperate your body. "
Wu Gen was still a little dissatisfied, "By the way, why don't Gao Cheng be killed on the spot? If he comes to seek revenge in the future, wouldn't it be trouble again?"
"Tch." Wu Mo looked disdainful, "Just hit him when he comes. I'll keep that old dog for you, and you can take your own revenge."
"Alas." Wu Gen sighed, "It's difficult. In front of Gao Cheng, any method is like child's play. It's really difficult."
"Trash, you can't beat that kind of three-legged cat, how can you still have the nerve to be a village leader? Don't worry, there is an old martial artist here to teach you from the inside out. Even though it will be difficult to practice martial arts like me in the future, But the average novice can still catch it."
Suddenly, Wu Mo, who was spitting all over the place, let out an oops and was slapped by Chu Ji who came in from outside, "Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. You will eat all the bones I cooked for my brother. Go out and clean the pot." .”
"Okay, my lord, please take a seat." Wu Mo quickly stood up and gave up his seat flatteringly.
In the past two days, Wu Mo and Chu Ji had become quite familiar with each other. Chu Ji was already a little angry at him for not rescuing him in time, and because of his old and disrespectful temper, he was pinched.
The group of people walked for a few more days, and Wu Mo parked the car at the foot of a mountain.
At the intersection going up the mountain, there is a huge archway with three big characters of dragon and tiger gate on it. This mountain looks quite quiet. Looking up, there are green plants, white feathers fly over from time to time, and there are houses hidden among them.
Looking up and down with his hands behind his back, Wu Mo walked under the archway and said, "Oh, that's such a big deal. You're a cook at Longhumen. I've only heard of the dish Longhudou."
A strong man ran over and said, "What are you doing? This is an important place of the Immortal Sect. Don't wander around if you have nothing to do. Be careful with the whip."
Wu Moheheyile said, "Don't do anything, just rob."
"What the hell, robbery?" The strong man looked surprised and didn't react for a moment. This is the first time I heard that someone came to my door to rob me, "Old man, are you tired of living or something? Don't you know where this place is?".c
"I know, it's a place like yours that's going to be robbed." Wu Mo rolled his eyes, looking indifferent.
The strong man was completely irritated, "Old man, I have to beat you to a pulp today, otherwise our Longhumen will really become a joke in the cultivation world." As he said this, the man frowned and was about to step forward.
Suddenly there was a sound, and the man's eyes blurred, and he found that the scenery on both sides of the mountain road receded rapidly. When he looked down, he saw the old man grabbing his front and walking quickly along the mountain road.
Go up.
Until then, the strong man finally woke up and screamed hysterically.
Robbery is my old profession.
Wu Gen, who was as tangled as a silkworm, was leaning on the carriage at this time. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was so excited that his body jumped unconsciously and fell from the carriage.
Chu Ji was so frightened that he quickly got out of the car and helped Wu Gen up. His brother and Wu Mo were both unreliable people and made him worry about them every day.
Alas, I feel tired.
Wu Gen's face twitched as he listened to the crashes and screams coming from the mountain from time to time, saw the smoke and dust rising from the collapsed houses, and the frightened birds flying around.
Damn Gao Cheng, it’s such a good thing to beat yourself up like this, but you can’t interfere at this time, it’s hateful.
After an hour, the mountain gradually became quiet, and the sound of footsteps came from the mountain road.
Four people with bruises and swollen faces carried a sliding pole and walked out of the archway. The person sitting on it was Wu Mo. The sliding rod looked newly made, and the chair on it was moved from somewhere and temporarily reinforced.
There were three people accompanying the sliding pole. One of them originally had three locks of black beard, but one of them had been torn off at this time. There are two older ones, with gray hair and black eyes, who are standing respectfully beside Wu Mo.
"That's it." Wu Mo pointed at the carriage Wu Gen was riding in. "Why are you still standing there, Xiao Min, hurry up and carry the person up the mountain."
The middle-aged man with a black beard was stunned for a moment, and then he finally realized that the so-called Xiao Min was referring to himself. Well, I am also a sect leader after all, and it is really uncomfortable to suddenly become Xiao Min.
"Okay, carry the distinguished guest up the mountain immediately." The middle-aged man greeted quickly.
Whoops, a dozen more people poured out from behind, carrying three sliding poles and filing out. When he reached the carriage, he said cautiously: "Please come up the mountain, noble man."
Master Min was in a state of chaos in the gust of wind. He had moved out all the chairs in his own meeting hall.
Well. Wu Gen was speechless, but he still got on the slide obediently.
Accompanied by the sound of crunching, the slide pole spiraled up the mountain road. It has to be said that the Dragon and Tiger Gate is really well managed. There are pavilions and pavilions along the way, dotted in the greenery with the help of the mountains. From time to time, we see rare birds and animals, wandering among the mountains and rivers.
Passing by some damaged rock pavilions, there are hidden traces of formations. Judging from their appearance, they should have been destroyed just now.
At the top of the mountain, there are even more carved jade railings, layered pavilions, and flowing clouds passing through the top of the mountain, making it look extraordinary. The sliding pole bypassed these houses and arrived at a bamboo forest behind the mountain. The environment here is more tranquil. There are four or five small courtyards built among the green bamboos.
This was the place where the sect master and the elders usually lived, but Wu Mo took it away.
When they arrived at the largest courtyard, "Xiao Min" walked a few steps and came to Wu Mo's side, "Sir, a few distinguished guests might as well rest here. This place is a forbidden area in the mountains. No one is allowed to enter, but the distinguished guests can rest here." Recuperate in peace."
"Well, okay, Xiao Min***." Wu Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes, got off the slide in an official tone, and patted the middle-aged man's head gently. Sect Leader Min's face twitched a few times unconsciously, then he quickly changed his face to a smile and personally guided several people in.
The courtyard was not small, and Wu Gen was placed in the largest room. Chu Ji and Xu Nu were placed on the left and right sides, which was convenient for serving.
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Master Min bowed slightly and asked diligently.
"Just now I seemed to see a big cauldron in the square. I can help you by bringing it over. In addition, prepare some medicine for me. I told you to remember, Tianxing grass, ghost mother root, Japanese tiger bone, red falcon blood... "More than twenty kinds of medicinal materials were mentioned one after another.
Sect Leader Min's eyes widened when he heard that there were some medicinal materials here that he had never heard of. How to buy them? He said with a puzzled expression: "Sir, our sect is really small. I'm afraid it's difficult to get some medicinal materials here. Would you like to change a few?"
"I don't know how to buy, rob or steal without you. I don't care what method you use. We'll have everything done before dark." Wu Gen's eyes widened with a fierce look. After thinking about it, he softened his tone and spoke with sincerity. Said: "Xiao Min, I am optimistic about you. This is a test for you. You must do well."
. "
"Yes, I'm going to think of something right now. I'll get it all done before dark, so that I can live up to your expectations of me." Chief Min said with a sigh of relief as he puffed up his chest.
But there were wailings in his heart, and the eighteenth generation of Wu Mo's ancestors practiced on the bed one by one.
Still Xiao Min, he has been the master of the sect for more than ten years. Who would not treat him with respect and address him as sect master Min?
Now that he has been demoted several generations, it is possible that his disciples, disciples, and grandsons are all called Little Wang and Little Zhou. When he thinks of this scene, Master Min's eyes feel gloomy.
The two white-haired elders beside him couldn't help but laugh secretly as they saw the sect master in such a state and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Qi, after the tripod is brought over, you two will be responsible for lighting the fire. Xiao Min has other things to do." Wu Mo's voice came.
The expressions of the two white-haired "Xiao Zhang" and "Xiao Qi" froze, their faces twitched, and their beards trembled wildly. Use your own cauldron for worshiping heaven to light the fire. If you use this cauldron to offer sacrifices later, it would be strange if God didn't strike a few thunderbolts.
"What's wrong, why are you winking?" Wu Mo was a little unhappy.
"No, no, it's nothing. It's been very windy these past two days and I've got some cramps."
Soon, a large cauldron weighing several thousand kilograms was carried over and placed in the center of the courtyard. With the help of several disciples, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Qi poured spring water into the cauldron and set up firewood to burn it.
This cauldron is extremely heavy, and it took a long time for the water to get slightly hot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Gen, who was lying in the room, asked curiously: "Old Wu, how did you make these people so obedient?"
Wu Mo grinned, "What else can I do? Just like taming a horse, I'll beat him if he doesn't obey me. Today when I went up the mountain, the sect leader named Min was still chattering with me. He was thinking about taking action and gave me a good punch. Wouldn’t it be comfortable? It’s human nature to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak. We are all cheap. Whoever has the big fist is the boss.”
"If a few of them can't beat you, don't worry about them trying to sway you. If hundreds or thousands of them come, they can kill you." Wu Gen was still a little worried.
"Exactly." Wu Mo didn't care, "I told them, even if you find someone to beat me, if you can't beat me, I will run away. As long as you let me run away, humph, your Longhumen family has a great career, and you can't move away." I'm all alone. I'll chop a man for you today and secretly set a fire tomorrow. I'll sleep with my wife at night. Maybe I'll throw a few snakes in there for you to see who can outlast the other."
When Wu Gen heard this, he took a breath of air and raised his thumb, "I learned it. As expected, Jiang is still very spicy, and he is quite ruthless."
The water in the cauldron finally boiled, and it was steaming. Master Min ran in sweating. Not to mention, except for one or two herbs, he had to gather the rest. After recounting the pain of searching for medicine, Wu Mo didn't care too much. After all, he was also talking nonsense.
After testing the water temperature and nodding with satisfaction, Wu Mo directed people to put the medicinal materials into the cauldron in order. Gradually, the color of the water changed to green, then to red, and finally turned into a thick soup that was neither red nor green.
"Come here, let the two-legged sheep go." Wu Mo greeted, and Wu Gen was stripped naked and thrown into the cauldron.
"Ah..." As soon as he entered the water, Wu Gen's screams echoed across the top of the mountain.
