Where is Zhenbao Pavilion?
Top loft on Qinfeng Street! Every inch of land is precious, and there are so many stores that cannot be squeezed into even though they try their best. This man just goes to relax and ignores his business. He has to ask the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion to call him a rich man!
Chen Mo smiled hoarsely: "It's just a fool's errand to make a fortune. This is the money I owe the shopkeeper. I'm going to withdraw from the venue and no longer rent it. I came here to inform you today."
With that said, Chen Mo took out one month's rent of the shop from his pocket and put it on the counter. At the same time, he began to pack his luggage, drawing boards, paints and other things. If you leave it behind, the stewards who maintain the Zhenbao Pavilion in the evening will remove the garbage so that it will not affect the next store entering the market.
When the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion saw the silver, he smiled and took out the deposit. After collecting the rest of the rent, he put it in his pocket, patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said: "Little brother, the painting is good, but your painting is the best." The price of the paintings is too high, one tael of silver per piece, even a wealthy family in the county would have to consider buying it!"
"Otherwise, I will decide the rent and reduce it by 10% for you. If you work for another month, you listen to my brother. A painting will cost you three cents in less than a year, and you will be guaranteed to make a lot of money!"
The shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion also really wanted to retain him. When he rented the stall, he even drew a painting for his wife for free. She loved it and praised him for finally doing something serious after all these years.
Chen Mo has almost finished cleaning up. He came here to paint just to get close to Chen Jia. Now that his goal has been achieved, there is no need to hang around. After all, he doesn't really want to stay in Qinfeng County for the rest of his life. He immediately raised his hand and said: "Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper. Chen has other places to go, so I won't bother you."
"In that case... I won't say anything more," the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion nodded, looked around the counter on the second floor, and then went downstairs not knowing what he was doing.
Under the curious eyes of the surrounding shops, Chen Mo left the Zhenbao Pavilion carrying a large drawing board. After he left, the surrounding merchants started talking:
"...What did that person do just now? Why do you have such a good relationship with Shopkeeper Liu?"
"That boy has been painting a lot, maybe he gave gifts to shopkeeper Liu's concubine!" someone said.
"This kind of thing is too expensive and there is no market..."
...
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Chen Mo headed north, planning to find Li Qing to continue practicing martial arts. Before he had gone far, a child squeezed out of the dense crowd, about seven or eight years old, holding a letter. , went straight to Chen Mo: "Brother, give it!"
Chen Mo smiled slightly, knowing that the person behind the scenes was responsible. He touched the child's head, took the letter and let him leave. He opened the envelope and read the text on it:
"If you have something important to discuss, come to Jingyang Lane quickly."
Chen Mo knew that Jingyang Lane was an abandoned old house, not far from here and inaccessible. Chen Mo received the letter, threw the drawing board at a corner, and quickly hurried over.
Chen Mo first entered a narrow alley, and then stood at the boundary between two roads. Just when he was about to wait for a while, Lin Bo, dressed in gray clothes and wearing a belt around his waist, appeared from the alley on the right, step by step. Walk towards him.
As expected, Chen Mo was convinced and pretended to be confused and said: "Uncle Lin?"
When he came to Chen Mo, Uncle Lin slowly said: "My master saw the painting you gave to Miss Third, and wanted to ask me to find you to paint the next one. Please, little brother." After saying that, he made a gesture of inviting me. , without any malicious intent.
Chen Mo shook his head: "I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, I don't want to draw now. I'm sorry to have to obey. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Uncle Lin was surprised. Didn't you throw the jade pendant away? Why don't you want to meet me again? He immediately asked: "Do you really not want to see my master?"
"Not interested." Chen Mo said casually, taking a step forward and preparing to walk back.
This made Uncle Lin very anxious. He finally got the news about Chen Mo. He was afraid of attracting attention and secretly made an appointment to meet. Unexpectedly, the other party refused directly. He acted completely against common sense and immediately arrested Chen Mo: "I offended him." Got it!"
He planned to knock Chen Mo unconscious and wait until he was in front of the master.
Chen Mo had been waiting for this moment. He turned around and slapped Lin Bo's wrist with his left hand. The latter's effort missed Lin Bo's wrist. Chen Mo suddenly smiled: "Why, you have to force yourself if you don't go? It's really in line with the Chen family's style!" "
Lin Bo's pupils shrank and he could easily swat his hand away. This kid really had a second thought and said in surprise: "You know martial arts?"
He is a monk at the third level of Qi Refining, so he can naturally distinguish between spiritual power and internal power. As soon as Chen Mo took action, he felt the deep internal power. But how is this possible? How old is this young man?
Chen Mo didn't say anything. In fact, he was playing hard to get. Only by confusing the other party could he better disguise himself.
Lin Bo took a deep breath. It seemed that he had to reveal his identity as a monk today, otherwise he would not be able to keep this kid. He immediately stirred up spiritual power, and without any nonsense, the body blessed with spiritual power came towards Chen Mo to catch him again.
Even though it was just the same move as last time, with the spiritual energy, everything would be different. Chen Mo had also used spiritual energy to bless him, so naturally he didn't dare to use it too much. His hands flew up and down as fast as lightning, breaking down Lin Bo's grasp. It was separated into many small parts and destroyed one by one. When it came to his eyes, its strength was no longer as strong as before. Chen Mo pushed him hard and pushed Lin Bo back.
While Lin Bo was shocked, he stepped forward without retreating. He turned his hands into claws and attacked Chen Mo again with the power of a falcon. This time, he no longer held back and went all out!
Chen Mo's figure began to be erratic and blurred on the spot. The next moment, the two were fighting again. The shadows of the fists and palms met the sharp eagle claws. It seemed that the former was defeated at the first touch, but the victory was continuous. Within dozens of moves, the two There was no winner in the battle!
Chen Mo's body was strong and flexible, and he could dodge and move around. Lin Bo couldn't catch some of his moves, so he used his footwork to dodge. For a moment, two figures were going back and forth, splashing rubble from the surrounding alley buildings. The soil was flying, and some houses were more fragile. A small part of them collapsed with one kick from Lin Bo. The power can be imagined.
The more Lin Bo beat, the more frightened he became. The third level of Qi Refining could not defeat a young warrior with just his physical strength. He was so angry that he beat Chen Mo into a dead end in the alley. There was no way to avoid it. Lin Bo's last move was to control the crane and capture the dragon. The claws and hands were like thunder, and they struck Chen Mo's throat with the force of lightning!
Of course it's not to kill him, just to make him unable to resist.
Chen Mo did not sit still and wait for death. His figure suddenly disappeared in the corner like a ghost. Lin Bo was stunned. When he found Chen Mo's figure again, he had already appeared several feet away and was about to run away!
"Boy, come back!"
When Lin Bo saw this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. His spiritual power formed a thread and directly tied up Chen Mo, who was about to run out of internal strength. He pulled hard and slashed his neck with a knife. Chen Mo then tilted his head and fainted.
"call..."
Lin Bo caught Chen Mo, and he was very tired. He took a long breath, took out a sack from the storage bag, and put Chen Mo in it. He carried Chen Mo on his back and left the scene in a few flashes. In Yangxiang, only ruins and broken walls were left on the ground.
Fortunately, everything was within Chen Mo's plan. Uncle Lin really couldn't kill him unless he deliberately exposed some flaws. If Chen Mo really wanted to kill Uncle Lin, he didn't need to run away for the last blow, he only needed to stab him with a spiritual weapon dagger. Just around his neck.
It's not that Lin Bo, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, couldn't take down Chen Mo who had some internal strength. Lin Bo just threw it with a fireball. Chen Mo didn't even have ashes, so how could he continue to fight? In order to capture him alive, he wasted a lot of money. time.
...
"...That's it, Master, the young master is really strong in combat. If he hadn't just thought about escaping in the end, I would be the one who fell."
Lin Bo placed Chen Mo on the floor of the study room. The servants had been cleared away. Only Chen Qi and Lin Bo were here. The latter was still in a coma. Lin Bo used this time to narrate what happened.
"You mean he doesn't want to see me?" Chen Qi frowned.
Lin Bo smiled bitterly and said: "It's absolutely true. If he wants to see you, why bother fighting with the old slave? It seems that he just wants to return the jade pendant to you, master."
Chen Qi's expression suddenly became complicated and he stared at Chen Mo without saying a word.
"Ahem..."
Chen Mo finally woke up. He vaguely felt a cold feeling on his back. He must have been thrown to the ground. When he opened his eyes, he saw Uncle Lin and a calm middle-aged man. Needless to say, that person must be Chen Mo. The head of the family, Chen Qi.
It wasn't Chen Mojiu who occupied the magpie's nest and learned from senior brother Liu Qing that the real owner of the jade pendant had died in the spirit stone mine. The jade pendant might as well play some role while it was idle, which led to the current scene.
"Child, you're awake." Chen Qi's voice was slightly caring, and he said to Chen Mo on the ground. On the other side, he raised his hand to help Chen Mo up.
Chen Mo rubbed his body and sat on the ground. With a little effort on his legs, he stood up without help from Chen Qi, which made the latter look a little unnatural.
"Why did you catch me here?" Chen Mo stared at him and Uncle Lin, and finally said to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi glanced at the jade pendant in his hand: "My child, is this what you left behind?" After that, under Chen Mo's gaze, Chen Qi took off another jade pendant from his waist. The two jade pendants just fit together. The pure white and flawless jade turned into bright red in an instant.
"Eighteen years ago... I once traveled in Kongliu County and gave this jade pendant to a woman named Yin Qiu... That was all a long time ago..." Chen Qi looked a little confused. Trance: "I still remember Linlang Lake in Kongliu County. That was the first time I saw her on the lake..."
Chen Mo interrupted his recollection unceremoniously and said coldly: "It seems that you are really confused. Why don't you let me tell you that there is no lake in Kongliu County. Do you understand?"
"I don't know if you are testing me, or if you are showing too much mercy and can't remember clearly. In short, it has nothing to do with me. I have done what my mother told me before she died. I hope you and I can just say goodbye!" "
Chen Mo snorted coldly, portraying an abandoned child vividly.
