The convoy was walking on the road, and the business flags on the carriage were dancing seductively in the wind. After confirming Yan Yu's condition, Chen Mo decided to follow the convoy with the flag "Shen".
"Brother Mo Chen, do you know the origin of Dao Tu Temple?" Shen Qianqianwu and Chen Mo sat on the front of the car, and Chen Mo acted as the driver.
After their self-introduction, Chen Mo learned that they were from the Shen family in Maolin City, a business family. Chen Mo also gave a false name. He did not intend to deceive them, nor was he a member of the Jianghu family. It was better to remain anonymous. It was the little girl named Shen Qianqian who told her last night that Chen Mo was handsome, tall and mighty as she heard, but it really didn't match her current self. She had no choice but to do it in order to prevent the little girl from having her dreams shattered.
"I know. It is said that it was given by the Tang Dynasty's King to reward meritorious ministers." Chen Mo replied calmly.
The Tang Dynasty at that time did not have much to do with the Tang State. The Tang State was only founded on the basis of a meager bloodline with the original Tang King. It was established in the name of restoration after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. Although the first monarch of the Tang Dynasty had the ability to give the Tang Dynasty a foothold in these troubled times, it was just that he did not have the ability of the Tang Dynasty King to dominate the world and died of illness, and his descendants no longer had that ambition. They are ambitious and can hold on to their old roots. This is their greatest ability.
"It was also my first time to go there. I heard that the monks there are very powerful. They are all accomplished monks and have extraordinary abilities. My father said that if he saw an old monk smashing a mountain open with his bare head, , don’t be surprised.”
"My father also said that there is a nine-story Linglong Pagoda in the Mt. Liusu Mountain. It is extremely beautiful, but not everyone can go there. There are sword-wielding monks guarding the Linglong Pagoda outside. Those sword-wielding monks are very It’s amazing, I think there must be some great treasure in the Linglong Pagoda that can help the temple.”
Knife-wielding monk? When Chen Mo heard this, he thought of a group of monks holding knives. Shouldn't it be more appropriate for monks to hold ordination sticks?
"You know, big brother, there is a circle of lawless land outside Mount Rokusu."
"A place outside the law?" Chen Mo was curious. How could such a sacred place have a place outside the law? Doesn't the court care?
"Well, yes." The little girl nodded. "There are eight places in that area. The people living there are not controlled by any country, so it is very chaotic there."
Chen Mo knew that the three holy places were not under the control of any country, but he did not expect that there would be a dirty place at the foot of Daotu Temple, one of the three holy places. Aren't the places where monks live always pure places?
At this time, the man who rode the horse last night came over and said to Chen Mo: "The chaos is only the eight places outside Liusu Mountain. As long as you don't go to those places, little brother, Liusu Mountain is still very safe." .”
"Yes, my father said, those people can do anything in these eight places. As long as they leave these eight places, no matter how arrogant they are, as long as they do something extraordinary, the monks in the temple will take their My buttocks were spread open and I was beaten to the point of paralysis."
"What a strange rule. If this is the case, then why don't the people in the temple clear up the eight places and make the temple clean?" Chen Mo asked.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." The little girl shook her head and said. "My father said that these eight places were left over from the bet between Buddhism and Taoism. As for what they bet on, and why it is like this, my father also said I don’t know. In fact, if I have the chance to go to Mount Liusu this time, I really want to ask those old monks in the mountain what happened back then.”
Could it be that the interesting places that Senior Lu mentioned were these eight places? Chen Mo remembered the conversation he had with Lu Chunqiu.
Along the way, the little girl chattered along with Chen Mo. There were endless things to say in her mouth. Even if the topic was repeated, she could find a way to say it.
Yan Yu woke up once in the middle of the night. After eating something and listening to Shen Qianqian's chatting like chanting sutras, she was so weak that she gradually fell asleep again.
In the afternoon, the motorcade came to a stop at a fork in the road. Both roads lead to Daotou Temple, but one is closer and the other is farther. The closer one leads to the south of Mount Rokusu, and the other leads to Mount Rokusu. The location on the east side. The Shen family's motorcade had to take the far one because they were going to the Red Apple Garden over there, and Chen Mo chose the nearest one, so he had to part with them.
In fact, Chen Mo didn't care about speed. There was only a difference of two or three days between the two paths. But he was a little afraid of the nagging little girl. He really didn't expect that there was anything that could be said in this world. people.
Chen Mo nodded vaguely and said goodbye to them after taking his own salute. When they were leaving, the little girl regarded Wang as a close friend and invited him to visit her home when he was free. Chen Mo agreed. , I just don’t know when I will be free.
Shen Qianqian took out her head on the window sill of the carriage and kept waving to Chen Mo, as if she didn't want to say goodbye to you.
Chen Mo suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly: "Shen Qianqian, go back and tell your family that your brother should either find an expert to give him guidance or destroy your brother's cultivation, otherwise he will die."
After saying that, he left here with a few flash jumps on his back, taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, so he could travel a little longer. The words of reminder he said before leaving were just kind reminders, but my master said at that time that with such a physique If people do not use these two methods to solve the problem, they will not live long and may even harm the people around them.
With that little boy's character, he is afraid of everyone except his sister. Even if he has advice from an expert, it will be in vain if he doesn't learn. It is best to find someone to directly destroy his cultivation, but this is not so easy to do. of.
Chen Mo's reminder was already his greatest help.
The group of people were stunned when they saw Chen Mo carrying a person on his back and still jumping far away like a cunning rabbit, and then disappearing after a few jumps. This kid is extraordinary.
"Miss, when did you tell him about the young master?" the man asked.
"No, I didn't mention anything about Baibai." Shen Qianqian also shook her head in confusion, and then looked at Shen Baibai who was standing in the carriage, playing with his clothes alone.
Did he say it himself? Impossible.
The purpose of their trip to Daotu Temple this time was for his business, and doing business was only secondary. If their father hadn't really been unable to get away, he would have come here on his own.
"Don't think about it, we'd better go to the Red Apple Garden quickly and find your Uncle Chai before we talk, drive!" The man yelled, and the pace of the motorcade sped up a little. As for how the boy knew, we don't need to worry about it for now. Anyway, he There is no malice either.
One day later, Chen Mo saw the surrounding mountains.
"That's Mt. Liusu. There are several mountains there." Yan Yu, who had regained his strength, stood on the top of a small hill with Chen Mo, looking at the mountains in the distance and sighed.
"We'll have a rest here tonight."
"good."
"Also, if anything happens in the future, you must tell me." Chen Mo turned to stare at Yan Yu and said, "Last time, I didn't know what happened to you, so I gave you random medicine."
Yan Yu blushed and did not dare to look at Chen Mo. He held his arm and walked down the mountain and said, "I know, I know, why are you so long-winded?"
Chen Mo was speechless. He just said such a sentence, how could he be so long-winded?
Three days later.
The Shen family's motorcade finally arrived at the Red Apple Orchard on the outskirts of Liusu Mountain. In this city-like town, the appearance of such a motorcade made those who lick blood on the knife watch with eager eyes. After all, this is a place that has always been fat.
Sheep, it all depends on whether their teeth are strong enough.
But after many people saw the middle-aged man who greeted the team, they wiped their drool and left angrily, preparing to take out their last silver coins to find the girl in the flower house to vent their frustrations.
Qu.
The convoy settled in an inn. This inn was opened by this man himself. To be able to open an inn here, he either has a background or is strong. Judging from the reactions of those people before, this man belongs to the latter.
many.
As soon as they entered the store, everyone else was busy moving things. Shen Qianqian took her brother Shen Baibai to find the man they called Uncle Chai.
"Uncle Chai, have you heard about the Ou family's martial arts contest?" the little girl seemed to be sharing a happy event.
"I heard, have you been fascinated by some hero?" Uncle Chai smiled and touched her head, without any of the grim look he had when he was in the city.
"No way." Shen Qianqian blushed.
"Then which number one do you think has left?"
"Of course it's Chen Mo!" Shen Qianqian answered with her head held high.
"It turns out that I was fascinated by that boy Chen Mo. I even remember his name so clearly." Uncle Chai said jokingly.
"Uncle Chai, you really don't have it. It's just that the name is easy to remember."
"Hahaha, it's really easy to remember, it's really easy to remember." Uncle Chai said with a haha. "That little guy was able to defeat the murderous Mu Qi."
"Why are you so young? You are so powerful." Shen Qianqian said with her mouth bulging.
"Mighty? Who did you listen to? It couldn't be your father, right? You believe what he said with his brilliant tongue."
Shen Qianqian was stunned. Indeed, as a daughter, she didn't really believe what her father said. Maybe she was preconceived.
"Then what kind of person is he?"
"Well, he is seventeen or eighteen years old. He is thin and small, with a cold and inhumane look. When he is standing with Mu Qi, he has a broken knife in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, like a god of death..."
"Wait a minute, this person you are talking about feels familiar to me." Shen Qianqian raised her hand and pinched her chin.
"Qianqian, Mo Chen seems to be like this." Shen Baibai pulled Shen Qianqian's arm and whispered.
"Yes, yes, why does Uncle Chai look so much like him, except that he is wearing two long knives... Broken knives, broken knives, ah! There is a broken knife next to that sister's bamboo box!"
"By the way, there is a little girl following him." Uncle Chai added.
"Mo Chen, Mo Chen, Chen Mo, ah, he is Chen Mo, it must be him, otherwise how could he see through Bai Bai's abilities at a glance, so it makes sense." Shen Qianqian suddenly became excited. Uncle Chai's arm was shaking.
"I have met him, I have met him, Uncle Chai, and I chatted with him for a long time. He was sitting next to me, less than a few feet away from me."
