When Chen Mo rushed over, the three gray-haired women were at a stall selling books on the roadside. Wang Zihong was still picking at the stall with interest: "Sorry for the long wait, let's keep walking."
"Where is that girl?" the gray-haired woman asked curiously.
"She had other things to do, so she left after chatting for a few words."
No matter how hard-hearted Chen Mo was, he could not hide his hesitant expression. This scene was seen by the three people, but they just knew it well and did not continue to ask.
Several people passed through a row of attic buildings: "This area is the property of Jiusha Palace. With their Pill Formation Supreme Lord sitting in charge, it is best not to make a big move in the city." Wang Zihong explained carefully.
They also came to a building. The outer wall tiles were antique. After taking a few steps, even the bluestone slabs under their feet were of high quality.
After entering the main door, the gray-haired woman asked Wang Zihong to retreat first, and then took Chen Mo and Zhang Yunjian to the room on the third floor.
"Please take a seat."
The layout of the room was very simple, with only a few regular tables, chairs, and benches. The gray-haired woman followed suit, and their eyes were dazzled by the fact that there were a lot of wooden room cards on the table:
"These twelve cultivators are all taking a short rest downstairs. If the two Taoist friends have any doubts, they can go downstairs and take a look."
The gray-haired woman took out another roster from her arms: "My name is Li Shuang. I am in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. I am currently the elder of the Beast Control Sect."
Chen Mo just wanted to take it, but was snatched away by Zhang Yunjian with quick eyes and hands. Then, he made an expression that made the gray-haired woman extremely embarrassed - he carefully held it up with both hands, closed his eyes and sniffed it gently against his nose. , the intoxicated look seemed to be exploring the remaining aroma on it.
"Stop it! Do you want to die?"
When Chen Mo saw Li Shuang's face darken, he immediately sent a message to stop him, and at the same time took the roster and read it carefully.
Fortunately, the elder of the Beast Control Sect had no intention of pursuing the case. Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and heard Zhang Yunjian's triumphant voice: Hey! Brother Chen, this is it
You don’t understand women anymore, how about we make a bet? "
"Get out!! Be serious!"
Chen Mo was not as big-hearted as him. He only knew that the conditions for recruiting foundation-building monks on Demonic Island were extremely harsh. Those over fifty years old were not even qualified to enter the island.
Even if the gray-haired woman in front of her is old enough to know her destiny, at fifty years old and in the middle stage of foundation building, her talent is enough to surpass most cultivators.
Chen Mo tried hard to put down the anxiety in his heart, calmed down and began to look through Li Shuang's roster: "Yungang Sect monk Li Tianpeng, Sunset Valley monk Zhang Ji, Beast Control Sect monk Zhao Shi..."
At the end of the roster, Chen Mo saw a familiar name, Fairy Qingshuang from the Snowy Mountains of Qin State, the little girl who cooperated with Shi Jian at the auction of Huamianlou, the Forgotten Land, and she also joined Li Shuang's team. Yet?
Li Shuang said: "There are no enemies of yours here, right?"
Chen Mo shook his head and handed the roster to Zhang Yunjian, who also had the same expression.
"Then why not join today."
Without giving them a chance to interrupt, Li Shuang continued: "Maybe you have limited channels for understanding the news, and you still don't know what kind of monk Mo Yuan is. If I have time today, I will briefly tell you."
"He is over seven hundred years old this year, in the middle stage of Yuan Ying. There are countless legendary experiences about him. According to rumors, he is proficient in poetry and poetry and has composed many songs of his own. There are also rumors that the Wei court used a bachelor of Hanlin Academy as an adviser. The cabinet system was created by him, and some people say that he taught thirteen monks in the alchemy stage, and each of them inherited one of his talents..."
As Chen Mo listened to Li Shuang's story, he suddenly remembered the experience of escaping from Meng Qianqiu's hands. There was a powerful master in the alchemy stage beside Meng Qianqiu. Could she... be the Mo whom Li Shuang mentioned? A disciple of Zhenren Yuan?
"...All in all, we were able to come to Entrapment Island because of the invasion of demons. Otherwise, with his status, he wouldn't be able to easily become a believer."
Li Shuang's words stopped abruptly here, and the two of them understood what she meant. There were too many monks and too little food. If you wanted to go further, you had to join her team. In her eyes, one or two people fighting alone was basically impossible. It's not realistic.
Zhang Yunjian glanced at him and said: "You make up your mind." Chen Mo also heard the voice: "Look at other places?" "Okay." He responded.
Li Shuang seemed to have guessed the content of their message and said calmly: "Currently in Fengyuan City, including me, there are three monks in the middle stage of foundation building who are planning the team. You can observe their personalities and then Decide whether you want to come here or not.”
Chen Mo stood up and said: "Let's think about it again. Regardless of whether we join or not, we will give you an exact answer on time before Xu Shi in three days."
"Okay, then I won't keep these two fellow Taoists." Li Shuang also stood up: "I'll let Zihong see you off."
"Thank you, Sister Li!" Zhang Yunjian agreed happily, and she left immediately. Chen Mo turned to Zhang Yunjian and said, "I won't disturb you anymore. I'll see you at the inn tonight." "
"Good brother, I understand, see you later!"
Zhang Yunjian thought that Chen Mo was trying to create opportunities for him, so he winked at him and smiled. The two of them left under Li Shuang's expulsion order and parted ways at the door.
After finishing the business, Chen Mo's previous bad mood came back to him. He walked aimlessly in the city, and there was a voice in his mind that kept echoing:
"Why are you wandering around? It's important to go back and see your sister Lin!"
Another voice said: "Whether she lives or dies now has nothing to do with you, don't be so pretentious here!"
This is often the case with most things in the world. Only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it, but when you really have it, you may not always love it wholeheartedly?
Time passed very quickly, and seemed to go very slowly. Chen Mo thought about it and said to himself: "It's better to go back and take a look. It's not good to push people. It's wrong to push people. I didn't apologize. What if?" Is she still waiting there? Just take a look, yes, or take a look in the corner, if not, that's better."
He convinced himself in this way, and ran very fast. It was already approaching afternoon, the street was so hot, and she had long since disappeared from the path.
He looked at the cultivators coming and going and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "What a cheap person. Worrying is unnecessary."
Chen Mo found a nearby teahouse and ordered a pot of tea. He sat in his seat and thought about it for a while. He thought to himself: What on earth is going on?
I wanted to completely cut off contact with Lin Yuqin, but when I saw her sad look, I couldn't bear it, but she was already with Li Qingyang, Gan Chai Lie Huo, ah, no one was disturbing me, how could something not happen?
Has she ever had one before? Should, maybe not? It's okay, but Chen Mo felt like a lump in his throat when he thought about this. Although he had seen meat and fish before, from a selfish point of view, he hoped that Lin Yuqin was a girl who didn't understand anything.
"Does a person have to love only one person in his life?" Chen Mo had doubts about his belief. To be honest, he envied Zhang Yunjian's courage. He dared to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman when he saw it. Even Li Shuang, who was in the middle of foundation building, also If he doesn't let go, doesn't he know that this woman can kill him in the blink of an eye?
Chen Mo thought of Chu Wushuang again, his senior sister who had never seen the dangers in the world. She was better, like a peaceful lake in his heart. Every time he thought of her, his mood became much more stable.
Will she meet another man? If a monk like Zhang Yunjian was pursuing her, could she refuse directly?
Chen Mo found that he was powerless. Ten years, ten years, was really too long. Ten years could change a lot of things. Ten years could transform him from a monk with useless spiritual roots to a foundation-building disciple who came to Demon Island to experience. , Ten years later, will Chu Wushuang still love him as much as before?
No one can tell him the result, not even Chen Mo himself.
The sky was gradually getting darker. Chen Mo originally wanted to find some hyacinths, find out the number and power of the monks in the city, and then analyze them slowly when he went back.
But emotions got in the way, and he wasted an entire afternoon without doing anything serious. Although he regretted it, he decided to put Lin Yuqin's affairs aside first and concentrate on the matter of Trapped Demon Island.
"Dong dong dong..."
Chen Mo hurried back to the inn. Just as he was about to enter the room to rest, he heard a joking voice: "Junior brother Chen, I have wine to relieve all my worries."
Looking up, Ye Lantian was at the end of the corridor, holding a wine bag and smiling at him.
