There is less than a month left before the Chinese New Year. Two months have passed since Chen Mo woke up. Half of his injuries have healed. At this time, except for fighting, he is no different from ordinary people. He even comes to the house to see a doctor.
Dr. Gu was also surprised at Chen Mo's recovery speed. When he learned that he had to change his dressing midway, he felt a little unhappy. However, since he was a distinguished guest of the palace, he did not say much. As for what kind of miracle medicine Chen Mo used, out of face
and identity, and did not ask Chen Mo.
As for how anxious and unbearable this old man was, Chen Mo naturally didn't know. These days, he has been doing exercises to restore his strength. Of course, exploring the second realm is what Chen Mo must do every day.
The two maids serving Chen Mo have been replaced by the little girl named Zhu Yeqing. She is said to be a little girl, but in fact Chen Mo is not much older than her. Chen Mo doesn't want anyone to serve him, but this Zhu Yeqing insists on following. Chen Mo
She had no choice but to give up. She didn't want her to do anything anyway. Maybe she just wanted to repay Chen Mo for treating her.
"Brother Chen Mo, how long will it take for this slave's hand to recover?"
Walking on the busy street, Zhu Yeqing followed Chen Mo, holding her left wrist with her right hand. The thought of having to endure that person's pain every day made her a little scared, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. But this month has passed.
, there seemed to be no change in her arm, and Chen Mo recovered quite well in just half a month. Although Shen Mo explained to her that her injury was a long time ago, and her foundation was not as good as his, and the recovery time was also different, but
Still a little anxious.
"Let spring begin."
Chen Mo replied calmly, watching the crowds of people around him with interest. Maybe because of the cessation of the war, the city was quite lively. Moreover, the Chinese New Year was coming in less than January, so there were naturally many people. Maybe it was because this place was
In the border states, the folk customs here are also much more fierce, and there are many people who have returned from the front line with murderous intentions. However, the public security is still good, and no one is likely to cause trouble under the eyes of the palace.
Originally Jiang Nu wanted to follow, but was stopped by other people in the family. Chen Mo knew the reason without even thinking about it. What kind of sensation would a dead Princess Anhe suddenly appear in people's sight? Although most people
I have only heard of her name but never met her, but there are always some caring people. Chen Mo also thought that after this incident, it would not take long for the court to know that she was still alive, but what would happen to this border guard king?
If so, then Chen Mo wouldn't know.
Chen Mo even thought that when An He hanged himself in the palace, it was not just to refuse to marry far away, but there might be more hidden things. Of course, Chen Mo would not inquire about it. He had no idea about these conspiracies.
interest.
"ah!?"
Hearing that it would be so long, Zhu Yeqing's cold cheeks turned bitter.
The two of them walked near the blacksmith shop, and the clanking sound attracted Chen Mo's attention. Chen Mo looked at it for a long time, but in the end he didn't make any move to buy anything. None of the knives in these shops were what Chen Mo wanted, almost all of them were
It is similar to the ones in Xiangyun Town. It will not take long after you buy it, and it will be scrapped in Chen Mo's hands. It seems that it is not that easy to find a good knife. Jiang Nu said that there is one in the palace.
The palace she was talking about was not the current temporary palace.
To return to the real palace, the border guard king must come back, but Chen Mo has no intention of going to that palace. After meeting the border guard king and talking to him about business, he will leave. If he doesn't come back these days,
, Chen Mo is about to leave, and his body has almost recovered. He will go out for a few days, just to look for any weapons when he leaves.
"Go back."
After visiting several stores, Chen Mo lost interest and decided to go home.
"oh."
That's what Zhuyeqing is good for, and he likes Chen Mo very much. For someone like Xianmei Hongqu who chatters, one is enough. Shen Mo still likes this kind of communication.
The two stepped into the gate of the palace and walked on the bluestone path in the front courtyard. Chen Mo suddenly moved and turned around to embrace the moon, just in time to grab a short wooden sword that suddenly appeared behind Shen Mo.
"Is it Senior Lu?"
Chen Mo asked aloud, without any anger in his voice.
Xiaozhu looked at the sword in Chen Mo's hand, with rare joy in his cold eyes: "It's Uncle Lu's sword."
"Young friend Chen Mo is indeed a bit special. The strength of one realm has the meaning of three realms." An elegant middle-aged man walked out from the corner, followed by Jiang Nu.
Lu Chunqiu's previous sword really needs to be tested. With that sword, Chen Mo could say that he was moved by the wind. It didn't exist. Lu Chunqiu would not have made such a simple blow, and it would not have achieved his purpose.
.
Chen Mo let go of his hand, and the wooden sword turned in the air and returned to Lu Chunqiu's waist.
"I've met Senior Lu." Chen Mo still admired such an expert, as a person must be polite.
"Come on, let's talk somewhere else."
On the attic.
The three of them sat cross-legged on the soft futon, Jiang Nu made tea by himself, and Xiaozhu did some cooking on the side.
"I have heard from Xiaonu that little friend Chen Mo is not only unique in martial arts, but also amazing in medical skills." Lu Chunqiu spoke with a faint smile, which made Chen Mo feel like he was bathing in spring breeze.
"Medical skills are used to save lives. In addition, you also have some fighting skills."
"Little friend Chen Mo..."
"Senior, just meet me, Chen Mo."
"Chen Mo, you are so humble." Lu Chunqiu quickly changed his tune.
"It's not modesty. Again, before, many people said that my martial arts can only stop at one realm. As for the meaning of the three realms that senior said, I was too sure before, but now that senior has said it through torture, I don't have to doubt it. It might as well
To be honest, I only discovered the meaning of these three realms when I was fighting with people in Shang Kingdom. I had also discussed with a senior of the three realms before, and I had never felt like this at that time." Chen Mo is usually very sparse.
Talk, but once he encounters something about martial arts, he might as well talk more himself.
"Well, if I hadn't heard from Nu about your battles and tested you personally, I would have thought that you only had the strength of one level. I also checked you before when you were seriously injured, and you were indeed
There are no traces of true energy in the body. As for those who conclude that you have stopped at the first level, they may infer based on your strength. Such a good first level cannot have a second level. Many people will think that you have no chance of martial arts."
Lu Chunqiu expressed his views.
"But there was a person who just took one look at me and said that I was a small adult in the first level, but had a fatal flaw and could not achieve the second level." Chen Mo said what that person once said. At that time, he couldn't understand it. It was rare.
There is an expert in front of me, so of course I want to ask for clarification.
"According to what you really say, that person's realm should be quite high. To be able to see through you at a glance, he must be in the fifth realm." After saying this, Lu Chunqiu couldn't help but sigh to himself. "People in the fifth realm, what they see
, it’s another look, I’m quite yearning for it.”
"Uncle Lu will definitely reach that state." Xiao Zhu answered from the side.
Lu Chunqiu looked at her and smiled without saying a word, and then continued to chat with Chen Mo about the previous events: "If people like that make judgments about you, I can't find any reason to doubt it, but you broke that
To assert, well~, it can’t be considered a breakthrough. You only have the meaning of the Three Realms now, and it’s not really the Three Realms. At most, it can be said that you are a more special one.”
"Well, even when I was fighting against those from the fourth realm by the lake, I used the moves with the power of the second realm. But at that time, I fell into a state of madness, and my memory is a bit blurry."
"Well, I have been to that small lake. It is indeed the trace left by the fight between two qi. If Xiaonuo hadn't testified, I wouldn't believe it was left by you. As for the doubts in your heart now, I can't explain it to you.
Your answer, maybe you will be able to find the answer somewhere in the future."
Chen Mo was a little disappointed.
"There are many kinds of scenery along the way of martial arts, and I have only seen part of it. Just like what you showed me today, it is a scenery I have never encountered before. You don't need to sigh, maybe what those people said is wrong.
Yes, aren’t you now crushing those assertions step by step?”
"Besides, with your current strength in the first realm, you can kill a Jinyi envoy from the third realm. This is the first time I have heard of killing people in two realms, and then you can lead people to escape from the fourth realm. What's more,
Is it surprising that I didn’t get to witness these two battles of yours, or it’s a real regret.”
"With such strength, how could he be so easily blocked from the first path of martial arts?"
Facing Lu Chunqiu's encouragement, Chen Mo had no fluctuations in his heart: "Both battles were just good luck. The person I killed also fought in succession and was no longer in the top power, and the one in the fourth realm was
Being hurt by seniors, my strength is greatly reduced. Luck is not always with you, your own strength is still very important."
"Are you also facing them with the best attitude?" Lu Chunqiu asked back, and then continued: "Humility is certainly a good thing, but you should not underestimate yourself too much."
"I have never underestimated myself." Chen Mo said with certainty.
"That's right." Lu Chunqiu smiled.
"If my strength hadn't recovered to less than 50% now, I would have really wanted to compete with my seniors."
"No problem, I can do it at any time after you recover from your injury." Lu Chunqiu did not refuse.
Is the injury healed? I will not stay here to recuperate. Chen Mo did not say this, but asked: "Is the King of Border Guards back?"
He had learned before that Lu Chunqiu had been following the King of Border Guards these days.
"I'm back in the city, but I haven't returned home yet. I guess I won't be able to go back until tonight."
