The dust mist was quickly blown away by the turbulent wind on the street. The dust mist dispersed, and two figures stood in a hollow on the bumpy street. Both of them had a knife mark on their faces, and their clothes were also damaged.
But both of them stood up straight.
Chen Mo's knife was placed on Hao Jin's neck, and the sharp blade was already attached to his skin. The smooth blade reflected Hao Jin's expressionless face.
The tip of Hao Yan's sword touched Chen Mo's heart and had already pierced his clothes. As for whether it had penetrated Chen Mo's body, only Chen Mo himself knew.
Everyone held their breath. It was unclear who won from the current situation. The next step was to see whether Hao Jin's head left his body first, or Chen Mo's heart was stabbed through, or both possibilities happened.
A sad and happy ending where everyone dies together.
However, things did not develop in the direction expected.
"I'll touch your heart first."
"My knife has touched your neck."
"If I hadn't been merciful, your heart would have been exploded by my sword right now."
"If my knife hadn't stopped quickly, you would have been dead by now."
"Your knife may not be able to cut off my neck."
"Your sword may not be able to pierce my heart."
"Then try it!"
"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
The two of them were facing each other, neither one giving way to the other, but neither one took action to verify the other's doubts, and the two just remained frozen.
Chen Mo thought his own sword was faster, but he did not deny that the opponent's sword was faster. The flying sword move just now was as shocking as lightning.
Hao Jin also thought that his sword was faster, but there was little chance that his neck could withstand Chen Mo's fatal blow.
Everyone looked at the two people speechlessly, shouting in their hearts: Don't just shout, do it!!
But no one spoke up. Perhaps they also knew that as soon as they spoke up, the two people's spearheads would instantly point at themselves, and they did not want to be the source of trouble.
"How about you guys eat something before continuing?" Yan Yu said weakly as he lay on the railing and looked at the two people who couldn't hold on.
"Okay!" The two said in unison, and then they both performed a beautiful trick and sheathed their weapons.
"Is this the end?"
"No one may be killed or injured?"
It seemed that those people were very dissatisfied with the result and began to complain one after another. Although they stood far away, their complaints still reached the ears of Chen Mo and Hao Gu.
Both of them looked over there, sharp and cold.
"Feiyan!"
"Thunder!"
For a moment, those who were still complaining let out a scream, and then fell downstairs, instantly making other people who still wanted to agree shut their mouths.
"I hit it first."
"You saw it wrong, it was me!"
"Would you like to come again?"
"Come again!"
The two of them put their hands on their weapons at the same time, and those who were still waiting for the follow-up swarmed away with a few "shuashuashuas", not wanting to be the dead souls under the swords of the two of them.
In an instant, all the people who stopped to watch dispersed. Only some people secretly hid in the house and quietly watched the changes outside.
"snort!"
The two snorted coldly, and their figures disappeared in a flash, reappearing in the room where they had used the stove. Only the messy streets were left behind, telling people that a fierce battle had taken place here.
The room was a little dark because the sky outside was starting to get darker. The people in Yihong Tower looked at the two people who reappeared here and were a little at a loss.
The head of Yihong Mansion made a gesture to them, and then they started to get busy. What they were busy with was, of course, lighting the lamps.
The three of them sat down again, and this time their positions changed slightly. Hao Jin and Yan Yu both sat in their original positions, while Chen Mo sat opposite Hao Jin, where the head of Yihong Tower had been sitting before.
The red wax of the tree-shaped candlestick in the wing was lit, and the light illuminated the entire wing.
Yan Yu looked at the two people who were silent. Their breathing was a little heavy, probably because they were trying to relax the energy left over from the previous strenuous exercise.
While the two closed their eyes and meditated, the two women changed the things on the table. After a while, a new banquet was formed. Although there was no mutton, there were other ingredients.
The three women who played musical instruments before were kicked out by their boss. Although they wanted to stay here, they did not dare to go against the boss's wishes. Besides, they were told other things.
The head of Yihonglou himself sat behind the guzheng. He placed his lush green fingers on the guzheng and stroked it gently, but did not play in a hurry. The remaining two women stood like maids, Chen Mo and Hao Jin.
Behind the person, they secretly watched the backs of the two people.
After a while, they both opened their eyes at the same time, and the heat from the stove began to boil again.
"Are you awake? Then I'll start." Yan Yu watched them wake up and then moved his chopsticks. Although it wasn't that long since the meal he had before, he could still eat it, otherwise he wouldn't know it later.
How long will it take to have such a good meal?
Hao Jin did not move his chopsticks, but took off his gourd, put it on the table, looked at Chen Mo and said, "Now let's talk about the gourd."
"Can I take a look?" Yan Yu looked at this strange gourd. He hadn't looked at it very carefully before, but now he wanted to take a closer look.
"Okay, little sister, but you have to tell me your name first." Hao Jin lost his previous fighting attitude with Chen Mo and returned to his cynical state.
"My name is Yan Yu." After Yan Yu briefly introduced himself, he took the gourd and looked at it carefully.
Yan Yu didn't know how to describe it. To put it simply, it was a work of art. Only when you look closer can you see more details. Inside the gourd, there is almost a full gourd of transparent liquid flowing. Miraculously, these liquids will not flow out of the hollow gourd.
outflow.
Yan Yu curiously put his finger in the gap, just enough to pass his little finger. The tip of his thumb touched the transparent liquid, and it didn't feel much, just like putting his hand in water.
"Yan Yu." Chen Mo called from the side.
When Yan Yu heard Chen Mo's cry, he immediately pulled out his finger, stuck out his little tongue, then put the little finger into his mouth, frowned and said, "It's wine."
"Of course, does it taste good?" Hao Yan didn't mind Yan Yu's somewhat impolite behavior.
“Not tasty.”
"Also, wine is not suitable for you."
"Who said that, I can also drink." Yan Yu said unconvinced.
Hao Jin took the gourd, looked at it, and said: "My master gave me this. It was made by one of his friends. There is only one in the world, and only my master can hold this gourd without holding it."
There’s wine in the gourd, would you like a sip?”
Hao Gu shook the gourd in his hand.
Chen Mo stretched out his hand, Hao Jin flicked his wrist, and the gourd was thrown into Chen Mo's hand.
Chen Mo took the gourd and felt a little emotional when he saw it again. The last time he had just touched it with a broken blade, now he was holding the gourd in his hand.
Chen Mo could feel the flow of zhenqi inside. What kind of zhenqi packages prevented the wine inside from flowing out from the gap? This is simple to say, but very difficult to do. It's like whether you can hold a handful of it with your hands.
Water is normal.
Chen Mo thought he couldn't do it.
"You must have figured out what's going on. Master asked me to sit like this. Now I can only keep it within a small area so that it doesn't leak out."
Chen Mo didn't know how small a small area was, and he didn't need to find out.
"The senior also used this gourd to buy me a drink, but I refused."
"You refused? Hahaha, Master has been rejected sometimes." Hao Yu smiled. "You won't refuse this time, right?"
Of course Chen Mo would not refuse. He unscrewed the lid and poured himself a glass. At this time, the melodious sound of guzheng also sounded in the room.
Listening to the sound of the piano, Chen Mo took a sip and said: "The gourd is a good gourd, but this wine is not worthy of such a strange gourd."
Hao Jin, who had already taken the gourd back, also said: "I said this wine was not good, but the man kept saying yes, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't need any money, I wouldn't have let this go into my bottle.
In the wine gourd."
The bitterness in his mouth made Yan Yu ignore the two people's drinking culture, and started to iron things by himself, so that he could have enough food and clothing.
"Senior now..."
"Dead."
This made Chen Mo a little stunned. Not many years had passed when he was acquainted with that senior. At that time, the senior was not an old man in his dying years. Why did he suddenly die?
"Don't think that masters will not die. Relatively speaking, people who have reached that level are closer to death." There was not much sadness in Hao Yu's words.
Chen Mo can understand what he means. The strong are more dangerous than ordinary people in their pursuit of becoming stronger. Often only one out of ten strong people can be stronger, and the rest will become this person's stepping stones, either falling or falling.
To endure, or to return to mortal life.
"Tell me, when and where did you meet my master."
"It was probably four or five years ago. At that time, I had just arrived in the Black Tiger Mountain of Chu State to work as a bandit." Chen Mo said calmly.
"Are you still a bandit with your skills? Are all those decent people blind? Can't you see such a good face?" Hao Jin didn't believe it.
"Wait a minute, I seem to have heard about his travels. He once said that he met an interesting little guy in Chu State. The little guy at that time was compared with my strength. I was slightly inferior. That person should
It can't be you???" Hao Yan looked Chen Mo up and down.
"That's not right. My master also said that that person's life is not good. It's a life in the first realm. But now you are in the third realm. You can't live up to it."
"Yes, that senior once said such a thing to me. Not only him, but also many people have said such a thing." Chen Mo drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and continued: "But they were all wrong.
,I have a breakthrough!”
This breakthrough was like a knife, cutting into pieces the denial of those people.
