"After returning to the sect, let's see if there is any way to open it."
Shen Mo thought about it and turned around to leave without collecting the corpse for the veteran.
He did not return to the Shen family.
After informing Gu Ming of the news and asking him to take Gu Chao out together, he planned to leave.
"You have done many evil things, and I wanted to kill you, but thinking that your cultivation was already ruined, and helping me kill Master Xuanzhi would be considered as atonement for your sins, I let you two siblings live."
"Go and have a good life."
As soon as Shen Mo said these words, Gu Ming looked slightly confused, with mixed feelings in his heart.
My life was saved.
But... without this cultivation level, my past glory will be like a passing cloud.
Where should I go?
"Take care of yourself."
Shen Mo didn't say anything more to the two of them, and finally left with his sword.
Changhong crosses the sky, and Shen Mo shuttles between the sea of clouds.
On this return trip, he finally experienced the speed of traveling thousands of miles per day.
Tianyou City and Linjiang Sect's mountain gate are separated by more than three thousand miles, and it only took him one day to reach the mountain gate.
"Flying with a sword is indeed much less laborious than running with two legs."
After arriving at the mountain gate, he put away the Dragon Bird Sword and secretly sighed in his heart: "However, this Dragon Bird Sword is still too narrow. During the sword control, I can only stand in place and have no room to move."
If there is an opportunity in the future, I will need to get an extra broadsword, just for traveling.
"Outer disciple Shen Mo returns to the sect."
After arriving at the mountain gate and showing the identity jade pendant to the disciples guarding the mountain, Shen Mo returned to the sect and went straight to his residence.
"嘤!嘤!嘤!"
At the top of the wall of the courtyard, the Lingzang Rat sat alone on it, looking longingly into the distance.
When he saw Shen Mo's figure, he immediately screamed with excitement.
"Whoosh!"
Its figure quickly transformed into a gust of wind, and rushed to Shen Mo's side, tugging at his trouser legs, looking pitiful.
"I haven't returned home for many days. I'm afraid the little guy is alone."
Seeing the behavior of the hidden rat, Shen Mo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He leaned down and touched its little head: "You missed me! I'm sorry that I came back a little late."
"嘤!"
Lingzang Shu whimpered softly and rubbed Shen Mo's neck with his head, as if he was being coquettish.
He put the Lingzang Rat on his shoulder and pushed open the courtyard door.
As soon as it got close, it jumped off Shen Mo's shoulder again and led Shen Mo into the house as if taking credit.
"This is..."
Shen Mo was a little surprised when he saw its behavior, so he followed its lead to the inner room.
He was completely shocked when he saw that the inner room was filled with all kinds of messy materials, ores, and talismans.
"Did you find all of these?"
"嘤!"
The two small black eyes of the Lingzang Rat stared at Shen Mo, as if waiting for his praise and condolences.
"The Linjiang Sect is no better than the outside world. If you are searching here and bringing things here, you will be in trouble if you are discovered."
Shen Mo looked at the pile of things carefully. Most of them were commonly used by Linjiang Sect's outer disciples. There were also a few things that were only available to the inner disciples. He couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Although the hidden rat can hunt for treasure, it cannot conjure it up on its own.
If it gets something, somewhere, it will naturally steal something.
If it's easy to say outside, Linjiang Sect is full of disciples.
If you keep your head down and don't see you when you look up, there will be problems sooner or later.
"嘤!嘤!"
The Lingzang Rat's face fell. He originally thought that Shen Mo would be happy when he came back.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to be caught off guard and felt a little aggrieved.
"That's all, that's all, you have your heart."
When Shen Mo saw this, he quickly said a few words of comfort.
Speaking of which, this spiritual Tibetan rat agreed to follow him back to the sect, and he left it alone in his residence.
It's rare that this spiritual Tibetan Rat remembers him and even prepares a surprise for him.
Even though he was suspected of doing bad things with good intentions, Shen Mo still couldn't bear to scold him.
He set up a fire and roasted a meal of red-browed venison for the Lingzang Rat.
"Remember in the future, don't hunt for treasures in Linjiang Sect, and don't run around."
Shen Mo stuffed the venison into its plate and said: "Not far from the foot of the mountain, there is a small town. There is a special market in the town that sells all kinds of treasures. If you want to get something, where can you go?
It will be much safer. If I have free time in the future, I will take you for a trip."
In Jiyun Town and Fang City, there are many loose cultivators traveling from south to north. Even if it is stolen, the Linjiang Sect will not be found.
The Lingzang Rat didn't know if he heard it or not, so he just chewed the meat like garlic, and then ate the barbecue with concentration.
“It smells so good!”
Outside, a voice sounded, and then someone pushed the door open.
"You guys have indeed returned to the clan."
The person who came was suddenly Cao Ren, who had been in seclusion for many days.
At this moment, he had a smile on his face and was holding two jars of fine wine in his hands. It seemed that he had just come back from going down the mountain to buy wine.
"You're out of seclusion!"
When Shen Mo saw Cao Ren, a smile appeared on his face.
This guy has been in seclusion for several months, and he has searched for him several times but cannot find anyone else.
"I left the customs two days ago."
Cao Ren put the wine in his hand on the stone table and explained: "After I came out of seclusion, I heard from my father that you came to look for me several times, so I thought of coming to see you, but I didn't expect that this guy is not in the sect." "I just went down the mountain and bought some wine. I planned to have a good drink with my dad, but I felt that he was not in a good mood."
"What's wrong?" Shen Mo was slightly startled and asked curiously.
"It's stolen." Cao Ren shrugged and said strangely: "For some reason, he has lost something inexplicably in the past few days."
"The elixir, the talisman, and the materials, if I hadn't been in seclusion, he might have suspected that it was me."
"Originally, the value of the things he lost was not very high. They were all ordinary things. However, a key material he was using to make alchemy recently was lost, which made him anxious. Unfortunately, he could not find the person who stole it." p>
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. How could there be a thief in our Linjiang Sect? What's more, his cave has a ban and no one else can enter."
Just when Cao Ren was wondering, Shen Mo felt nervous.
These treasures of feelings were stolen from your father!
"嘤!"
Listening to this, the Lingzang Rat suddenly stopped eating and shouted to Cao Ren, as if he wanted to say something.
But Shen Mo reacted quickly and hit it on the head to make it continue to eat and stop barking.
It would be very embarrassing if this were exposed.
Shen Mo had an awkward yet polite smile on his face, trying to change the subject: "Since you have been released from seclusion, you must have succeeded in breaking through, right?"
"That's natural!"
Cao Ren perked up at the mention of this and stopped worrying about the theft of his father's cave. He proudly took out a jade tablet from his arms.
This jade plaque is made of mutton-fat white jade, with exquisite cloud patterns carved on the front and the word "Inner Gate" written in the center.
On the back, Cao Ren's name and identity background are engraved.
