The sky turned slightly white, and the rain that had been falling all night finally stopped.
Jiang Nu curled up next to Chen Mo and fell asleep. Chen Mo did not go back to sleep after getting up. Instead, he sat cross-legged and concentrated, trying to use the flow of Qi to relieve the pain caused by the previous battle.
Song Huaijiang brought a bowl of hot white rice porridge and put it in front of Chen Mo and said, "Have you fallen into trouble?"
"Falling?" Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes.
"Don't you know, don't you feel that you have no energy at all?" Song Huaijiang looked at him curiously. This boy didn't seem to be the kind of silly person.
Chen Mo recalled the battle at the lake, and he had indeed undergone some changes. According to the man's words, he knew that the uncontrollable entering of his body was vitality, not what is usually called true energy.
Is true energy different from vitality? Chen Mo didn't know. No one taught him these things, and he never asked. He always thought that when he entered the second realm, he would naturally have true energy in his body.
"Damn Master, I don't teach useful things, I just teach you nonsense."
Chen Mo cursed secretly in his mind and said, "I don't know."
Chen Mo really didn't know what his strength was at that station. According to what the man said, he had reached the third realm. Chen Mo didn't believe it. He hadn't even reached the second realm, so how could he suddenly reach the third realm? As for that
There are many details of this battle that I can’t remember clearly.
"Whether you really don't know or you pretend not to know, you have indeed fallen into a bad situation. The time you woke up and took action unconsciously, the flow of true energy did burst out in your body and almost killed your sister."
Song Huaijiang looked at Jiang Nu, who was still sleeping beside Chen Mo.
"It is also because of this that the remaining sword energy in your body was eliminated unconsciously, otherwise you would not have woken up so quickly." Song Huaijiang sighed and said, "I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for you.
"
"What will happen if you fall into a realm?" Chen Mo grasped the key to the problem. According to this old man's tone, falling into a realm is not as simple as falling from the second realm to the first.
Song Huaijiang was not tired of Chen Mo asking such a simple question. For him, this kind of thing was a very common thing.
"A broken mirror is like finding a key to open a door and entering a new world. A fall is like you exiting that world and the door is closed again. If you want to enter that world again, you have to open the door again, but...
"
Song Huaijiang paused for a while. When people talk about reversal, they will involuntarily pause to whet their appetite before continuing.
"A thief visits someone else's house. When the thief escapes, the owner of the house will definitely change the lock to a new one, a new one that is better than the previous one. So it is not that easy for the thief to visit again."
"So, how difficult it is for you to enter the second realm for the first time, but it is even more difficult to break through after falling. This difficulty is difficult to summarize."
Chen Mo listened to Song Huaijiang's words and pondered. Song Huaijiang didn't bother him. After all, not everyone can accept the fall. Song Huaijiang has seen people who broke the mirror by chance and failed to return to the peak after falling.
, and not just one or two.
But Chen Mo was not what Song Huaijiang had guessed. He was not disappointed at all, but was happy. Before, everyone said that you can only stop at one realm. Now, according to Song Huaijiang's words, he has reached the second realm. Although it is just a flash in the pan, but
It also proves that the master is right, he is indeed a piece of material for martial arts training.
It's just a fall, it's just a break again, it's not a denial of the journey of martial arts.
"He smiled?!" Song Huaijiang accidentally saw Chen Mo's face turn up, and then returned to his cold expression. The smile was not a self-deprecating smile, but a happy smile, and he wondered in his heart. "Why?"
"Thank you, senior, for clearing up the confusion." Chen Mo bowed his hand to Song Huaijiang.
"It's okay, this is a very common thing." Song Huaijiang waved his hand. "You need to eat something first."
Chen Mo was indeed hungry. He took one look at the white rice porridge and ate it all in a few mouthfuls to fill his empty stomach.
"It's not enough." Song Huaijiang said with a smile.
"That's enough, just let some food go into your stomach. You're so seriously injured, it's not advisable to eat too much at once." Chen Mo handed the bowl back to Song Huaijiang.
"May I ask, where are you from, little brother?" Song Huaijiang took the bowl and left in no hurry. He had cooked the porridge, and the juniors could just do it themselves.
"An unknown person in Langzhou." Chen Mo replied briefly. Langzhou was where Chen Mo entered from Huqiu Fort.
"That's quite far away. Did something happen at home that made you brothers and sisters go to Chaoyang City in Yuzhou?" Old Man Song said without any malice.
"I did encounter some trouble. I was chased by my enemies and went to Chaoyang City to seek refuge with my relatives."
"As I said before, our group also has to pass through Chaoyang City. My little brother might as well go with us. You don't have to refuse so decisively. My little brother is injured and taking his sister with him without a carriage or horse.
It will probably take some time to get to Chaoyang City. If we encounter bad people again, I'm afraid..."
Song Huaijiang paused for a while and continued: "Your sister is an ordinary person, right? You are so seriously injured that you can't protect her. If you follow us, it will not only be safer, but you can also reach Chaoyang City faster, right?
"
Chen Mo listened to what he said and said directly: "Old senior, just tell me if you have anything to do. If you want to be rewarded, we really can't give it now. When we get to Chaoyang City, when we find the person, the old senior will save his life."
I will definitely pay it back.”
"You little brother, why are you so snobbish? As I said, we don't lack your reward. Of course, I also have a little bit of caution."
"Old senior, it's okay to say it."
"I wonder if you have heard of Jianyan Sect?" Song Huaijiang asked.
Chen Mo shook his head without thinking. He really knew nothing about these sects.
Song Huaijiang smiled awkwardly and said: "It seems that the reputation of our Jianyan Sect has been seriously damaged."
"What did the old-timer want to say?"
"I and these young people are all members of the Jianyan Sect. We are traveling on this trip to enhance the reputation of the sect. We might as well tell my little brother that our Jianyan Sect was once one of the ten sects in the world, although there is no one there now.
It has a place in the Shang Kingdom and is one of the top sects in the Shang Kingdom."
Chen Mo did not interrupt and continued to wait for the old man's next words.
Seeing that Chen Mo's expression did not change at all, and he was slightly embarrassed, he continued: "Actually, to be honest, I think that my little brother has great potential, and I want you to join the Jianyan Sect."
After saying that, Song Huaijiang looked at Chen Mo expectantly. He had laid so much groundwork before, so he should be able to impress him.
It turned out to be for this, Chen Mo thought to himself. According to this old man, their sect is quite powerful, but Chen Mo is not interested in it.
"Thank you, old man, for your kindness."
Chen Mo was just about to politely refuse, but before he could finish his words, Song Huaijiang hurriedly added.
"Are you refusing again? Little brother, you have to know that with our Jianyan Sect as your backer, no one in the Shang Kingdom can bully you. Even little brother's enemies have to weigh their own weight.
To be honest, although little brother has fallen back to the second realm, little brother still has a bright future."
Song Huaijiang praised that when he stopped Chen Mo from unconsciously trying to kill people, he saw some tricks. With one claw, he clearly knew that at that time, Chen Mo's vitality was not so much related to killing people, but his own body.
The fact that he was able to exert such a powerful force despite being seriously injured showed that this boy had a very solid foundation. He even guessed that under his normal circumstances, the fat man from Jing Lushan could use his physical strength alone.
He is no match for this thin Chen Mo.
"I'm really sorry, but this junior really can't agree to the senior's request." Chen Mo still shook his head and refused.
"Why don't you give me any face?" Jiang Yiyan walked over and said slightly unhappy. "It's rare for Grandpa Song to like you. This is your blessing. No one else can ask for it, so it's us.
Has the Jianyan Sect declined to the point where it is looked down upon by others?"
"Yiyan, what are you talking about? It's her business whether she comes or not. Why are you so excited?" Song Huaijiang scolded and smiled at Chen Mo: "That's just her temper, don't worry about it."
Jiang Nu woke up at this time, maybe because he had had enough sleep, or maybe he was awakened by the conversation between them.
As soon as Jiang Nu woke up, Jing Lushan appeared in front of Jiang Nu with hot white rice porridge, and said with a flattering smile: "Sister Chen Nu, you must be hungry when you wake up. Come here, this is the freshly cooked white rice porridge."
, drink it while it’s hot.”
It was not the first time that Jing Lushan was so attentive, but Jiang Yiyan on the side looked at him time and time again.
Jiang Nu took the bowl of hot porridge in confusion and looked at Chen Mo beside him.
"Eat, we will set off after eating."
"Oh." Jiang Nu nodded obediently.
"Brother Chen Mo, I respect your choice, but this does not prevent you from walking with us. As the saying goes, a good man will go to the end to send the Buddha to the West. Anyway, it is a good journey." Song Huaijiang was no longer entangled in Chen Mo's failure to accept his invitation.
"Yes, yes." Jing Lushan nodded vigorously on the side. "Maybe little brother Chen Mo changed his mind on the way. It would be a very smart choice to find out that he has a brother-in-law like me. I am very close to our sect leader.
Okay, my brother-in-law has gone to the Jianyan Sect, and I will ask the sect leader to pass on his martial arts skills to you."
"Jing Lushan, disappear, don't let me see you here!!" Jiang Yiyan couldn't bear it anymore.
When Jing Lushan saw this, he ran away again, like a thief.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Song Huaijiang smiled, enjoying this scene very much.
"Little brother, when we arrive at Chaoyang Town together and say goodbye, you go find your relatives while we go to our Dao Tu Temple."
