"boom!"
A sudden dull rumble came from the ground, leaving the two of them with no time to think and react. Chen Mo burst out of the ground, with his hand as fast as a thundering snake, and pointed steadily at the necks of the two of them, not even trying to resist. Before long, he fell into a limp coma and was captured alive by him.
When Chen Mo was at the fifth level of qi refining in the Yin Spirit Vein, he could quickly defeat the ordinary monks at the 10th level of qi refining. Now that his strength has reached another level, his combat power has regressed, which is unreasonable.
He had applied a simple formation to the entire inn in advance, covering it with light blue thin film spiritual energy. Firstly, it could block the sight of the mortals outside the door, and secondly, it could also prevent the two people from escaping.
It seemed that he was overly worried, as the two of them did not flee in panic immediately, which saved them some time.
Chen Mo didn't really know the secret technique of soul searching, so he could only analyze the situation based on the clues in the storage bag. Since the owner of the storage bag was still alive, it took Chen Mo a little more time to erase the consciousness on it.
After pouring out the storage bag and emptying it, a copy of "Five Infant Transformation Magic" was in front of his eyes. Chen Mo's heart moved and he briefly explored their Dantians. Sure enough, there was a surge of demonic energy. Needless to say, he had naturally practiced the demonic way. It's not surprising that the technique can cause the 'Yin Yang Evil Yuanhua' to harm people.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, not even interested in flipping through this high-quality magic book. A flash of fire instantly turned it into ashes.
This is the fundamental difference between him and the two. Even if he wants to become stronger, Chen Mo still has a certain bottom line in his heart.
Not only this book, there are also more than a hundred low-grade spiritual stones in the storage bag, men's unused robes and some useless sundries, as well as three or two mid-grade magic weapons that cannot be put on the table.
It was of similar quality to the magic weapon he got from the cultivators in Xianyun Valley more than five years ago, and it had been refined. Even if Chen Mo used it, he would not be able to exert its due power.
Another storage bag contained a few middle-grade elixirs for healing, some women's underwear, a red metal token, and seven or eight used jade slips, but nothing else.
Chen Mo put the jade slips on his forehead one by one, and used his spiritual consciousness to detect and read the messages. After about half an hour, he tiredly withdrew from the jade slips, and put all the things he could take into his pocket. He then placed the unconscious two people side by side and sighed deeply.
It turned out that after Mei Zhen practiced magic skills, she felt uneasy all the time. She wanted to talk but had nowhere to talk, so she could only record it through jade slips, including how she made up her mind to kill the baby and her psychological journey. After the Gu' incident happened, the story of how she and her husband struggled to hide was written in great detail.
He originally planned that before entering the sect, the memory of practicing magic skills would be destroyed along with this jade slip, but he was unexpectedly stopped by Chen Mo and knew everything about it.
Not only that, Chen Mo also learned from her jade slip that the two were about to leave for Ningyang County. The 'recruitment order' was the red metal token, which had now entered Chen Mo's storage bag.
"Whoosh!"
Chen Mo raised his hand and summoned two ice picks, which accurately penetrated the hearts of the couple without any pain. They ended their short journey of cultivation in a coma.
"I am not a righteous man who eliminates demons and defends the law. Everyone who can be killed has his or her own conscience. See you in the next life!" Chen Mo muttered to himself as he looked at the corpses in the room full of corpses. The smell of blood drifted through his nose. said.
With five fingers flicking, several fireballs hit every corner of the inn. In just a blink of an eye, the raging fire started burning, and the sound of burning wood was heard endlessly.
The core of the simple magic circle he arranged around the inn is water-based spiritual power. Therefore, after the fire burns the inn to an empty shell, the formation will be activated to offset the fire spiritual power and will never harm innocent mortals.
This was taken into consideration when he set up the formation.
After finishing the chores in Linhe County, Chen Mo returned to Black Rock Fishing Village. According to the location of the cloud crystal insect, he discovered a secret cave hidden underground, and inside lay the white-haired old man He Shan who had been dead for a long time.
In front of his body that had been pierced by cloud crystal worms, there was a pile of bank notes and half a wooden box of jewelry. It was obvious that he had received kickbacks from fishermen over the years.
Chen Mo had already made such a back-up plan when he left. It was impossible to count on He Shan to recruit him out of the treasure room. It would be more convenient for the cloud crystal insects to follow him secretly.
After collecting all the silver and burning Heshan into ashes, Chen Mo reached out and buried the secret cave here. At this point, all the shady things were buried under the ground of the unknown fishing village along with the gravel and dust. .
...
There was a heavy rain in Jiangyu County last night and the sea water rose. It was impossible to go to sea in this weather. Every household had no choice but to stay indoors and wait for the arrival of the morning.
The best time for fishing is Zi hour. Going out to sea in the early morning is risky. The waves are rough and unpredictable. Even if you don't enter the deep sea and just wander around in the open sea, there is a slight chance that the boat will capsize and people will be killed.
"Master, the sea is unstable, or else don't go today..."
A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair said worriedly to her husband who had already picked up fishing tools.
The swarthy man with wrinkled face sighed: "Alas! Tiedan's 'black and white flowers' are lost. I don't know what the heroes will say. The days are getting sadder day by day. How can I not work harder?"
The middle-aged man glanced at 'Li Tiedan' who was still sleeping soundly, and his courage to fight against the vast sea alone suddenly increased. As soon as he opened the wooden door, he was shocked by the bizarre scene in front of him, and the package in his hand also It fell to the ground with a thud.
In front of his house, there is a large banknote weighed down by a stone. The balance figure on it is the amount of money he earned after ten years of hard work without eating or drinking!
"Oh my god...mother! Someone put a lot of money at our door!"
"....What?! Master, are you kidding me!"
The middle-aged woman was also surprised, and she quickly got up and rushed to check. She saw a Wei Guotong deposit banknote in front of her eyes, which made her completely dumbfounded.
Not only their family, but also the entire Heishi Fishing Village received a small amount of silver. However, the families who had served the 'Yin Yang Evil Yuanhua' got more. This was especially true for Old Yang's family, which was three dollars more than other families. Times as much.
Yang Xiaoguo helped his grandfather pack the fishing net in the early morning. Before he took a few steps, he found a small stack of banknotes placed under the fence, weighed down by stones and fluttering in the wind.
"Big brother!! Big brother, where are you?"
Yang Xiaoguo didn't go to get the banknote, but kept looking around and shouting. He left here a day ago. Are all the injuries on his body healed?
Chen Mo's analysis that night was correct. She was indeed afraid of this ugly immortal who was good at hiding. After knowing his identity, she did not dare to get too close, for fear that he would destroy her and her grandfather due to his repeated emotions.
But it turned out that her idea was unnecessary.
After shouting for a while, she was sure that Chen Mo had left the fishing village, and then she lowered her head in disappointment. It was impossible to say that she didn't have any feelings after getting along with him for the past two months.
"Hey, there's another letter?"
After Yang Xiaoguo picked up the banknote, she found a piece of letter paper hidden at the bottom. She quickly opened it and read:
"Xiao Guo, when you read this letter, I have already left Jiangyu County. Thank you and Uncle Yang for saving my life. I won't say any more words of thanks."
"Put this letter with my spiritual consciousness close to you. Although I have arranged it properly, I am still worried. There is a cloud crystal insect buried under the fishing boat three feet away on the right. That is my spiritual pet, and so will you. And carry it with you. If there is a real life-or-death crisis, tear up the letter and it will save you a stick of incense."
"Just say goodbye and don't think about it. You fool, stay here."
Yang Xiaoguo read the content of the letter in a daze, and a kind of family affection that he had never been cared for came to his heart: "Big brother knows how well I know. He even knows that I help grandpa close the net every day... ."
The name Yang Xiaoguo was written at the beginning of the letter, which meant that Chen Mo was confident enough to conclude that she must have read the letter first!
Sure enough, she dug up a languid black monster not far away. In order to facilitate control, Chen Mo destroyed most of its cultivation, and it was only at the level of Qi refining for the rest of its life.
"Big brother......"
Early in the morning, the quiet fishing village was in a state of excitement. The incident of losing the "black and white flowers" of the Heroes Association had long been forgotten, and everyone was talking about the experience of picking up money.
Speaking of this, the women in the village became very excited, as if they had seen this great benevolent man with their own eyes.
"It's not good, it's not good! Village Chief He is missing!!"
The fishing village is not a big place, and everyone knows that there is some trouble. He Shan didn't say that he wanted to travel far, and he didn't do anything unusual. After his grandson found out that his grandfather was missing, he quickly found a few old people with high prestige in the village. Taking charge of the overall situation, the latter quickly formed a team to search for He Shan.
There is no way, He Shan still needs to come forward on the other end of the 'Guild of Heroes'. Heishi Fishing Village cannot live without him, but no matter how everyone looks for it, He Shan seems to have disappeared from the world, and no trace can be found.
"Zhang Mazi, Xiaowu, look, what is this!!"
A fisherman actually found a lost 'black and white flower' on a path leading to the outside of the village! This once again caused a sensation in the village. At the same time, near the lost flowers, the villagers also found traces of crutches...
All of this does not mean that the person committing the thief looks very much like the person they know...
When everyone told his grandson He Yidong about this, the latter's face was filled with shock: "Impossible! My grandfather is not that kind of person! This is definitely a vicious frame-up!"
He didn't know what his grandfather did, but his intuition told him that his upright and tough elder would never act like this!
"Xiaodong, the facts are before our eyes. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it... We don't believe that the village chief would do such a thing, but..." someone said with a heavy sigh.
As the saying goes, one person is responsible for the work, and the fishermen will not transfer what He Shan did to He Yidong to retaliate against him, so there is no resentment in their tone.
"Impossible!! I must find grandpa and prove his innocence!"
Ignoring everyone's dissuasion, the stubborn young man took some valuables at home and embarked on a journey to find Heshan late at night. Unfortunately, he took the wrong direction from the beginning and found nothing in the following years. This is what I will say later. Okay, let’s not show it for now.
Just when everyone had something to say and was waiting for the arrival of the 'Gathering of Heroes', someone they didn't expect appeared. Qi Tong, the leader of the Justice Gang, showed up openly. Who knew what kind of style he was smoking? Two exciting things were said:
First, cancel all silver payments in fishing villages. From now on, the fishermen will own them no matter how much they catch!
Second, restart Jiangyu County’s Marine Products Trading Market and draw lots to select the first president for a period of ten years.
This is a fat job, and once he takes office, he will definitely have some money in his hands. Everyone rushed to write their names on the pieces of paper, stuffed them into the black box prepared by Qi Tong, and asked his subordinates to shake them several times, and finally handed them over. Reaching inside, he slowly pulled out an ordinary piece of paper.
"Yang Xiaoguo!"
"Who is Yang Xiaoguo? Come out and you will be the first president!"
Suddenly, countless envious and jealous eyes looked at this family where the grandfather and grandson depended on each other for life. Old man Yang was completely stunned. He never thought that his granddaughter would one day become the mayor of Jiangyu County!
"It's true that a sparrow flies onto a branch and turns into a phoenix!"
"Xiao Guo, I've seen this girl since she was a child, and I've already seen that she has a rich destiny! Uncle Yang, is Xiao Guo not married yet? What do you think of my nephew's Xiao Yong?"
"Hey, who of you can kiss me! My niece, Xiaoguo, will have to take more care of my fourth uncle in the future... Haha!!"
.....
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Yang Xiaoguo froze on the spot. She seemed to understand what the 'backhand' her elder brother meant.
"Are you inferior? Then I will give you a status above ten thousand people!"
At this moment, Yang Xiaoguo was extremely excited, and tears burst into the girl's eyes. Her only regret was that she did not bid farewell to the noble man in her life in person and say thank you to him properly.
Yang Xiaoguo secretly swore in his heart: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely manage Jiangyu County's trading market well, and I will never let you down!"
It was a pity that in the rest of her life, she never saw the benefactor who gave her such great fortune again.
...
Chen Mo didn't know all this. For him, Blackstone Fishing Village was just a temporary scenery on his way to cultivation, and it was not worth nostalgia.
At this moment, he had already set off for Ningyang County, which was mentioned in the jade slips, the third largest prefecture and county city in the Wei Kingdom.
There are three cultivation sects in the Wei Kingdom, and their metal tokens are also different. Chen Mo still doesn't know who the red token in his hand belongs to, and he doesn't know if the guarantor will help him "occupy the magpie's nest." The murderer acted as guarantee, and he still needed to explore everything by himself.
