Patriarch of Wanjiao

Chapter 75 Master and Apprentice (Part [-])
The full moon hangs high, like the eyes of a fox, looking at the world indifferently.

In the wilderness, in front of the gate of Yizhuang, the flickering candlelight stretched Li Mo's shadow for a long time.

"Master, there is really someone." Shen Xu couldn't help but said.

"It's not a human, could it be a ghost?" Xu Zheng glanced at Li Mo.

"Excuse me, can I stay overnight?" Li Mo asked.

Five days ago, he followed Tianjiao to find this place, but the original withered tomb was empty.

Apparently, that demon corpse was quite intelligent, and it wasn't this lair.

Helpless, Li Mo could only let Tianjiao go to explore, while he rested outside the city for the time being.

"Pedestrians don't walk at night, and lonely souls don't break into the mansion." Xu Zhengyi said casually.

"Huh!?" Li Mo didn't know why.

"Master let you in." Shen Xu was enthusiastic and greeted Li Mo to enter the door.

He guarded Yizhuang every day, except for Xu Zhengyi, the most he faced were corpses.

When he finally saw a living person, he was naturally overjoyed and behaved extremely hospitable.

"Thank you."

Li Mo walked in, looking at the coffins, the putrid smell almost filled half of the room.

On weekdays, he has seen quite a few corpses of demons and ghosts, but he rarely sees human corpses.

"Don't be afraid, they usually won't get up." Shen Xu hurriedly comforted him, for fear that Li Mo would leave.

"generally!?"

"Hehehe..."

Shen Xu laughed dryly, and was about to lead Li Mo into the backyard. When he turned around, he bumped into the coffin, and the lid fell off, revealing a male corpse. It was covered in scars and mottled, and there was almost no good place.

"How did this person die?" Li Mo wondered.

What kind of evildoer did this encounter?He was so miserable during his lifetime.

"He..." Shen Xu glanced at him, but hesitated to speak.

"The butcher king in the city took his wife back to her natal home to visit relatives. Who would have thought that he would encounter bandits on the way, surrounded by more than a dozen big men with big arms and round waists, not to mention the robbery, and even claimed that they had been in the mountains for a long time and hadn't opened for a long time. It's time to eat..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xu turned his head away unnaturally.

Li Mo heard the words but also understood the meaning of the words, and secretly lamented the tragic fate of the couple.

"When Butcher Wang heard this, why didn't he know the intention of the other party? He looked at his charming wife..."

"It's really kind and righteous." Li Mo couldn't help praising Wang Butcher's remnant body.

In times of crisis, he was desperate to protect his wife and fought against more than a dozen bandits. No wonder he didn't even save his body.

"No, he gave his wife away and let him enjoy it, and he only asked the other party to let them live."

"Huh!?" Li Mo was stunned: "Then why..."

"Finally, under the despairing eyes of his wife, Butcher Wang was dragged into the grove by those bandits!"

"..."

Shen Xu put the coffin board back on Butcher Wang, saving his last bit of decency.

At this moment, Xu Zhengyi lit up the fragrance, walked to the shrine, and bowed to the top again and again.

At this moment, Li Mo just noticed that there was an ancient bronze sword enshrined in the main hall. It was stained with red blood, and it had already turned into a mark.

"This is... a rune weapon!?" Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help blurting out.

"Um!?"

Xu Zhengyi's body trembled slightly, he couldn't help but look sideways, and looked at Li Mo again.

"Little brother, you have good eyesight, unexpectedly you are still a practitioner."

"It's just a fur." ​​Li Mo said casually.

"In this world, there are too many people who go for fame and reputation. After getting three points of superficiality, they dare to say seven parts of morality. There are not many people as honest as you."

Xu Zhengyi said indifferently, holding a fragrance in his hand, his expression was extremely respectful and pious, as if the high ancient bronze sword was his life and his faith.

"Uncle is a monster catcher?" Li Mo couldn't help asking.

He didn't expect that there was a rune weapon hidden in this small yizhuang. It seemed to be very old, especially the hilt of the sword, the patina was shiny, and it had been passed down for many generations.

"We are corpse-slayers."

"Corpsecutor?"

"Only kill corpses, not catch monsters." Xu Zhengyi whispered.

"Our lineage has been passed down from generation to generation to kill corpse monsters for seven generations." Shen Xu couldn't help but said.

There was a look of arrogance on the immature face, as if they had seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to tell others that they were not just coffin keepers that everyone despised.

Hiding in the dark night, their ancestors also held swords in righteousness and killed demon corpses.

"Speak up."

Xu Zhengyi frowned and scolded sharply.

"Take your little brother to rest."

Li Mo had a bellyful of questions to ask, but after hearing these words, he swallowed them again.

It was late at night, and Li Mo was taken to a side room. There was only a wooden bed in the room, which was really simple.

"My name is Shen Xu, may I ask..."

Shen Xu stood by the door and cast a questioning look at Li Mo.

"My name is Li Mo."

"Brother Li, you will stay here tonight." Shen Xu was extremely enthusiastic.

"Xiao Shen, do you know if there is any particularly powerful...corpse monster around here!?" Li Mo asked suddenly.

"Extremely powerful..." Shen Xu's face changed slightly.

"Really?" Li Mo's eyes lit up, and the master and apprentice really knew the inside story.

Shen Xu hesitated to speak, looked outside the door, then came over and lowered his voice.

"There is indeed a powerful corpse monster hidden outside Xiling City. According to the master, he has already cultivated to the Nine Furnace Realm..." Shen Xu sighed.

"My master's elder brother, and Grand Master... all died at the hands of that corpse."

"Is there such a relationship?" Li Mo was slightly moved.

"Our lineage has been passed down for seven generations. From Taishifu's generation, we have had a big grudge with this corpse monster and vowed to get rid of it."

Having said that, Shen Xu couldn't help but look outside the house.

"That is also Master's greatest wish."

When Xu Zhengyi was young, he followed his master, uncle, and brother to hunt down the corpse monster. At that time, he had not yet reached the realm of nine furnaces.

As a result, only the young him survived in the end.

One of his legs was also amputated in that battle.

Since then, killing this demon has become the meaning of his life.

Li Mo remained silent, beheaded his body and left his body mutilated, his loved ones died, and he lived alone.

No wonder Xu Zhengyi was able to keep this Yizhuang for decades.

"Do you know where the corpse monster is hiding?" Li Mo couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Shen Xu shook his head.

"Little brat, are you giving it away or funeral? Where did you die?"

At this moment, Xu Zhengyi's furious voice came from the front yard.

"Brother Li, go to bed early."

Like a rabbit, Shen Xu rushed out anxiously.

"This is really the right place." Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and lay down on the bed.

The full moon falls in the west, and the black clouds cross.

In the middle of the night, a strange sound suddenly appeared in the cold Yizhuang. The ancient bronze sword hanging high on the shrine suddenly trembled suddenly, and let out a long vigilant moan.

"Here we come!!" The cold voice suddenly sounded under the moonlit night.
