Xu Clan Memorial Square.
The remaining Xu clan members are hurrying to pack up supplies and organize the battlefield.
At this time, under the huge willow tree in the corner of the square, two figures stood side by side.
Lin Mo is on the left and Xu Chengyuan is on the right.
The breeze blew gently, and pale white catkins fell on the two of them. The elegant willow fragrance mixed with the pungent smell of blood, forming an indescribable smell that was a bit like cinnamon.
Ever since Lin Mo settled everything and decided to move away as soon as possible, the two of them had been in such a strangely quiet state.
There is obviously a lot to say, but I don't know how to say it.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time you and I have met each other since we said goodbye to Ningyang." Xu Chengyuan finally couldn't help it, turned his head and sighed softly.
At this time, after Lin Mo's Arhat body was fully grown, his normal body shape was fixed at about two meters three, which was the standard of a normal person and was not as tall as when he left.
After all, his divine power had just been established at that time, and after practicing a few hard skills, his figure spontaneously grew.
However, although it is not as majestic now, it is completely different in terms of momentum and pressure.
Now, if he doesn't restrain his aura even a little bit, his pure Qi will exert invisible pressure on the warriors below Li Ming.
"Yeah... As soon as Qingfeng said goodbye, I wanted to go to Ningyang, but in the end I was delayed by trivial matters." Lin Mo also looked sad.
"By the way, how is the situation in Ningyang now?"
When he was in Lin Yu, he often paid attention to the information from Ningyang, but when he moved to Dayan Mountain and then to Huaiping, he was gradually delayed by trivial matters.
"It's still the same. Ever since the great master of the Universal Sect took up residence in Dalong Mountain, he seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even took over Ningyang County. So far, the three Ningyang families have completely ceased to exist." Xu Chengyuan shook his head.
"How could this be? Huaiping didn't receive any news at all." Lin Mo asked curiously.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is now in turmoil, bandits are rampant, ferocious beasts are everywhere, and the various state capitals have a faint tendency to separate themselves, but it is still better in Huaizhou, and it is not as obviously corrupt as Yuzhou.
Although the universal religion is strong and the great master is fierce, it is nothing in the end. Otherwise, not long ago, the Chang family, a thousand-year-old wealthy family in Changhe City, would not have been affected by the rain and wind, and would have been left alone.
"There are some situations where you are not the party involved and you don't understand." Xu Chengyuan shook his head.
"How to say?"
"The Protector Luo of the Universal Sect broke through the Grand Master, shocked the world in one battle, and directly established the illustrious reputation of the Universal Sect. This is nothing. Later, the Great Zhou Fang sent experts of the same level to discuss the Tao with him in the Yaoquan Valley of Dalong Mountain.
For three days and three nights, the sun rose in the east and set in the west. Finally, one of them walked out and declared that he would establish the universal sect. Haha, it was considered a registered sect. It was a regular sect, and with a grandmaster-level boss sitting in charge, he was naturally qualified to become the master of Ning. Yangcheng. "
When Xu Chengyuan said this, he suddenly smiled, but his smile was extremely cold.
"..." Lin Mo was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
A force that incited people to riot and raised a flag to rebel in other states suddenly turned into a regular sect, occupying the magpie's nest and taking control of the county seat. It is really ridiculous.
In this case, what do the three Ningyang families who risked their lives to fight in the early stage count? Who are these people who are forced to leave their homes?
"In an era of rising chaos, strength is the only long way. The peaceful years are over, and a new era has arrived. Everyone must learn to survive in this era."
Lin Mo said in a deep voice.
"The strong will live and the weak will die?" Xu Chengyuan heard this and looked at the Xu clan member in front of him who was obviously seriously injured but had a sad look on his face as he collected the corpses of his companions.
"It's a little too unfair."
"Xu Ershao, who was high-spirited and high-spirited back then, started to feel compassion for the world?"
Lin Mo turned his head, looked at Xu Chengyuan who looked disappointed and sighed.
"Some things, unless they really happen to you, you won't feel the same way. That's why it's so difficult to compare yourself to others.
I can imagine how many families in the world are like the Xu family today, or the Chang family at that time..."
Today, if Lin Mo hadn't arrived just in time, the Xu family would have been wiped out, leaving at most a few bloodlines sent out in advance, which would be no better than the Changhe Chang family.
Thinking about it this way, what was the difference between him at that time and He Mingdao and others today?
“Everyone must learn to survive in this new era, but if we do not neglect any morality and the laws of heaven and earth, who knows whether the next person who will fall in a pool of blood and die will be the one who will die. Own?"
Lin Mo was thoughtful and looked at the sky out of the corner of his eye.
A group of crows hovered overhead. They were attracted by the astonishing blood energy in the fort, but because of the power of the living people below, they could only make croaking sounds unwillingly.
"Xu Chengyuan, what are you running from?" He frowned and his voice couldn't help but become louder.
"It's just my first time seeing so many lives and deaths, and I feel a little emotional." The man in blood-clothed clothes beside him shook his head.
Lin Mo suddenly smiled, his eyes serious:
"You have to understand that the fault this time is not that you don't uphold morality, but that you are too weak. If you had my strength, would they dare to surround you?
Since you have chosen to practice martial arts, you are destined to fight for your life. If you enjoy a better life than ordinary people, you will naturally have to bear this precarious fate! "
In his opinion, if he was an ordinary person and huddled in the city, as long as there was no truly earth-shaking change, his safety factor would be higher than that of most warriors.
After all, although high-quality warriors don't look down on ordinary people, no one understands the principle of people-oriented martial arts.
This is why the dynasty was in turmoil, but the Great Zhou Dynasty was still promulgating many political decrees that benefited the people, and the reason why warriors fought and killed each other would try to avoid affecting ordinary people.
But why are so many people still struggling to find martial arts? Don’t you just want to be free and easy?
Of course, the price of freedom is to step into the Jianghu, the biggest source of chaos, where life and death are determined by destiny, and wealth is determined by heaven.
"Fighting for one's life...does that mean using any means necessary?" Xu Chengyuan frowned.
"In my opinion, you should know the crime with your heart, stop the punishment with punishment, and then... go to the top of the road to see." Lin Mo said lightly.
Xu Chengyuan was silent. If others said this, he would feel arrogant and arrogant.
But some people speak with a convincing magic power.
For example, Lin Mo, in less than two years, went from being a newbie in martial arts to killing a master like a chicken.
With such talent and potential, it's hard to imagine how far he can go.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What are you going to do next?" Lin Mo asked.
"...The power of the He family is indeed not weak, and there are real masters." Xu Chengyuan said.
"But I already have a plan."
"Huh? It can't be Duanmu, right?" Lin Mo frowned.
Although the information was obtained from the enemy, in that case, it was highly likely to be true.
Xu Chengyuan shook his head.
"If I didn't get that thing, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the Xu family to merge into the Duanmu family, but it's different now."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Mo and lowered his voice a little,
"Do you know why the He family would rather offend the Duanmu family than send several masters to visit?"
Lin Mo shook his head, he was indeed curious.
It's just that chance can be said to be a person's biggest secret. Some matters are so important that even family and friends will not tell them. Xu Chengyuan didn't tell him before, so he naturally wouldn't ask, just like he never asked why he was short. In just a few months, his body size continued to increase dramatically.
This is a necessary measure of propriety between friends.
"It's because of this thing." Xu Chengyuan didn't give in. He spread his hands and saw a red feather like glass rising out of his palm.
It looks a bit like a flame, rising slowly in the palm of your hand, giving people a feeling of warmth even from a distance.
"Red Phoenix is the eleventh one in the Earth Treasure Scroll. It is said that it is created by the essence and blood of Red Phoenix. After being 'qualified', it will not only be invulnerable to all poisons, but its physical quality will be doubled. In addition to optimizing the roots and bones, it will also awaken a form similar to phoenix transformation. That kind of massive increase state cannot be matched by secret techniques such as true magic, let alone..." He paused,
"What's more, it is said that the red phoenix stem has the effect of prolonging life. Compared with martial artists in the same realm, the lifespan can be extended by nearly half. What's more important is that this thing can be plundered with bloody methods. Although the effect will be reduced, the 'eligibility' condition will be exempted. .....”
"..." Lin Mo understood, his eyes couldn't help but be a little complicated.
There is no doubt that, purely based on effectiveness, this so-called Red Phoenix is definitely a treasure.
Not to mention its optimization of roots and bones, the increase in strength, and the effect of prolonging life, it is enough to make people crazy.
But it’s a bit of a trap that this can be plundered.
Once the identity, background and strength are slightly weaker, and this news is exposed, it can be said that you will live a life of fear every day, never live in peace, until death...
"What are you going to do?" Lin Mo asked.
"I have discussed with my father and will soon leave Huaizhou and go to Yuzhou. The war there is chaotic. Although it is extremely chaotic, it has advantages different from other states. That is, it is easy to hide. When the realm is improved, there is a way to protect yourself. Come back later."
Xu Chengyuan said calmly, obviously he had already made a plan, but his voice was a little low.
Lin Mo was startled, raised his head and looked at Xu Chengyuan, who was standing with his hands behind his back and no longer speaking, and immediately understood what he was thinking.
After this separation, the two of them separated in another state. If they want to meet again in the future, I don't know when it will be, but it may be far away.
He couldn't help but feel a little irritated and depressed.
Seeing that my friend's family, where they first grew up, went from being powerful in a city, to moving to a castle in the wild, and finally had to cross state lines to survive, it only took less than two years.
He really wanted to say that He left it to him.
It's just that Xu Chengyuan is burdened with the Red Phoenix. Without this He family, will there be another stronger He family?
He didn't know, maybe he knew, but he didn't want to admit it.
A sense of powerlessness crept into his heart, expelling the pleasure of killing the Grandmaster with a few punches not long ago.
"How long will it take to get in touch with anyone?" Lin Mo asked in a low voice.
"Everything is arranged. After leaving, some of the pharmacists will be dismissed. They will go to Jinsha County first, and then take a boat to Taihuai Ferry from there, and then go directly to Yuzhou."
This kind of thing happens either quickly or slowly, all that matters is the time difference, and the slightest bit of news must not leak out. Now even the Xu family, only a few people know about it.
"Well, before I leave, is there anyone you want to kill or anything you want to do..."
"Who is it?" Suddenly, Lin Mo suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
I saw the air there twisting, and then there was an obvious sound of breaking wind, and a black shadow flashed past.
"It seems that there are still little bugs left, but it was my negligence!" His eyes turned cold and he said softly.
But in an instant, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Don't worry, he can't escape."
Although I don’t know what method he used to lurk here, as long as he steps into this earth fortress, he will definitely leave his traces. I really think that someone in Talin is a vegetarian!
Can't escape!
Lin Mo pondered for a while, then turned to look at Xu Chengyuan, who was also frowning, and then looked at Xu Guowen, who was waiting ten meters away.
"Now that you have made up your mind, I won't keep you here. If a little bug happens to get in the way, you should withdraw first."
He didn't mention anything about parting at all, and turned around to leave.
"Wait, please put this thing away, my girl told you to give it to you." Xu Chengyuan called out, took out an iron box from the empty stone ring, and stuffed it directly into Lin Mo's hand.
"This is the follow-up formula to the technique you practiced. She searched for it for a long time and studied several ancient books before she found it."
Saying that, Xu Chengyuan smiled teasingly.
Lin Mo took the iron box and instantly understood what the technique was. A green shadow seemed to flash before his eyes. He hesitated to speak. He didn't know what to say. He just shook his head with a wry smile.
"Okay, I don't care about your business, just let nature take its course. Anyway, thank you very much this time." Xu Chengyuan's smile faded and he said seriously.
"Between you and me, it would be pretentious to talk about such a trivial matter." Lin Mo shook his head.
Xu Chengyuan sighed softly and did not answer. He just carefully looked at Lin Mo's two breaths, then clasped his hands in front of his chest:
"See you later."
The corner of Lin Mo's lips raised, and he was about to say something funny, but when he looked at Xu Chengyuan, who had a serious look on his face, his smile faded little by little, he put the iron box away, straightened his clothes, and clasped his fists as well:
"See you later..."
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and the air seemed to be silent. Finally... Lin Mo made the first move, turned around and walked away.
"Lin Mo..."
Xu Chengyuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. When he made up his mind, Lin Mo's back was no longer visible.
The words stopped abruptly.
"Chengyuan, is that person... gone?" At this time, Xu Guowen stepped forward and asked softly, with a complicated look on his face.
Xu Chengyuan was in no mood to speak and just nodded.
"That guy is really a genius... he can kill the grandmaster at will..." Xu Guowen sighed.
Grandmaster can be said to be the dream of countless warriors in Chi County. Like him, he has practiced half-step diligently and reached the level of half-step master for many years, but he still has no confidence that he can enter.
And Lin Mo was so young that he could kill at will... This kind of talent was simply frightening.
"Pack up and get ready to go. We still have a long way to go... In the future, you two may not meet each other."
Xu Guowen consoled him.
Xu Chengyuan understood this truth, but he didn't say anything anymore.
Is the journey still long?
He looked into the distance, the sky was still blue, and the willow trees behind him were fluttering in the wind, shedding fragrant catkins.
Just now, just three feet away from him...
There was an old friend who went away with his fists in his hands, but could not return even though the spring breeze was blowing away.
