In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

"The coffins are ready. There are one layer of coffins and one layer of coffins. I have asked people to fill the interlayers with fine salt to ensure that the fourth brother's body will not rot easily." In the largest coffin shop in Qingmu County, Chen Mo explained slowly road.

According to Mo Hu's idea, he planned to send Mo Dao back to his hometown of Tulong County, Shouren Prefecture, for burial, which was a thousand miles away.

Mo Dao's body had to be exposed for at least half a month and had to be embalmed, otherwise the condition would be very bad when it was transported back to his hometown.

"Thank you so much this time. I'll give you the money later." Mo Hu said gratefully and thanked him very solemnly.

He didn't bring much money with him when he came out this time. He bought a coffin, salt and other things for delivering the body, which totaled nearly twenty taels of silver. It was all money Chen Mo helped get.

It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to give someone help when it's time, and for him now it's undoubtedly a time of need.

"Fourth brother is also my elder brother. We brothers should not say such heretical things." Chen Mo said.

The money he is spending now is not something he has saved little by little, but he got it from that Taoist before, so he naturally doesn't feel bad about spending it.

Moreover, Mo Dao was his fourth brother. He had been kind to him during his lifetime, but he had not yet had time to repay him.

Now that he is dead, I should sacrifice the body for him, no matter how much money I spend.

"Let the fourth brother enter the coffin first." Chen Mo said when he saw the coffin shop clerk bringing a pot of red soup mixed with medicinal materials.

This decoction is the secret recipe of the coffin shop owner. If you use it to scrub the corpse, it is said that the corpse can be preserved for a longer period of time.

Mo Hu didn't say much and wiped his slightly red eyes vigorously.

"Go out first." Chen Mo waved his hand and followed him out.

Not long after, a low whimper came from the room.

Chen Mo waited outside for more than half an hour before shouts came from inside the house.

Mo Dao's body had been scrubbed clean, and the missing piece was filled with a piece of fine silk wrapped in cotton.

After putting on the clothes, you can hardly see anything missing.

Mo Hu had already put on a layer of inner clothing for him. According to the customs in their hometown, Mo Dao had to wear four, three, and seven pieces of clothing at his age.

Chen Mo stepped forward to help again, and the two worked together to put on five more clothes for Mo Dao.

"The lieutenant of Qingmu County helped me by sending a piece of jade for my fourth brother to use as a mouthpiece."

Chen Mo took out a piece of fine mutton-fat white jade from his arms. Looking at its quality alone, it cost at least six or seven taels of silver.

According to the custom of Daqian, the deceased must be buried in the mouth.

The emperor carries pearls, the princes carry jade, the scholar-bureaucrats carry jade, and the common people can only carry ordinary money.

According to Mo Dao's identity, he could only hold Bi.

The so-called Bi means sapphire.

However, after the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty ascended the throne, he issued an edict to the world that all weddings and funerals were allowed to exceed the first-class rites.

Therefore, Mo Dao can now be buried with white jade.

"Thirteenth brother, please help me thank him later." Mo Hu said.

If the county captain hadn't sent this piece of mutton-fat white jade, they might not have been able to buy it now, not to mention the extra money they would have to spend to buy it.

Qingmu County is not a big county, and it is difficult to find white jade of this quality in this county.

The two worked together to bury Mo Dao, then raised the lid of the coffin and closed it, and then nailed him to death when he was officially buried.

Chen Mo called a few more soldiers to help carry the coffin. The carriage had already been prepared, and with two horses pulling it together, it was not difficult to transport a coffin.

"You can go on your way. I'll go talk to my adoptive father."

With Chen Mo's words, Mo Hu felt more at ease before leaving.

"Two generals, my master asked me to send ten taels of silver for the general's payment."

A young man in gray cloth trotted over with a purse in his hand.

"Who is the owner of your family?" Mo Hu asked instead of borrowing money.

"The magistrate of Qingmu County, Wang Shouzheng." The servant announced his name.

"Thank your master for me." Mo Hu accepted the silver.

Mo Dao died. After all, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant had a close relationship with him. Although the funeral was not held here, they still sent servants to send some things.

"Be careful on the road, go and come back quickly." Chen Mo gave the final warning.

Mo Hu nodded lightly, drove the coffin, and drove away.

Chen Mo then walked back to the city and took the others to rest where they were. The journey was tiring and the people and horses were exhausted. There was no need for them to rush back to the military camp immediately.

There is another purpose for staying here, which is to guard against the group of bandits passing through the border.

As long as that group of bandits wants to continue to penetrate into Xingyuan Prefecture, they must pass through the Qingmu County area.

Chen Mo and the others are here to detect and prepare in advance to prevent emergencies.

This matter can only be done by Chen Mo and others, relying on the local army. I am afraid they will have to wait for the bandits to come to the door before they can react.

Of course, Chen Mo did not forget to send a few soldiers to return the bodies of the remaining comrades to the military camp first, and also asked them to pass on the news of the bandits' traces to General Sun.

This was what they wanted to do at the beginning. Now that there is a situation, of course they have to pass it on.

The next two days were quite peaceful. Chen Mo visited many food stalls in the city.

During the two days they were repairing here, the county government was of course responsible for their food and accommodation. Although the food was good, Chen Mo went out to eat at snack stalls from time to time, which could only be regarded as an extra meal.

After drinking two bowls of smooth meat soup, a specialty of Aoki County, and sweating all over his body, Chen Mo got up from the food stall and prepared to go back to camp.

The camp they were temporarily stationed in was a slightly old compound in the north of the county.

The remaining horses are temporarily kept in another courtyard, with several soldiers responsible for taking care of them temporarily.

When Chen Mo walked into this place, he did not return to the camp immediately, but walked through many alleys.

He had roughly seen the surrounding environment on the first day he settled here, so he was quite familiar with it.

Even if you walk through many alleys, you can't get lost.

"Are you looking for me?" Chen Mo quietly came up behind a person and said with a smile.

The man was wearing an ordinary blue cloth. When he heard the sound, he didn't run away, but turned around with a look of horror.

Then he saw a fist getting closer and closer to him.

Chen Mo knocked him down with one move and carried him into the temporary barracks.

This person is not very strong, his strength is acceptable, but he lacks fighting experience.

If he were a warrior with sufficient fighting experience, he would find that Chen Mo could get behind him.

Either they surrender and get caught, or they try their best to run forward.

No matter what, I won't waste time turning around.

Seeing Chen Mo carrying someone into the barracks, several resting soldiers immediately surrounded him.

"Get a few basins of cold water to wake him up, and prepare some torture tools. I want to interrogate him." Chen Mo threw him to the ground and ordered.

Several soldiers were ordered to get busy immediately. They first found a strong wooden chair and tied the man to the chair.

Then splash water on the other party to wake him up, and find torture instruments to prepare for interrogation.

"Tell me, who is your name? Why are you following me? Where are your accomplices? Inside or outside the city?"

As soon as Gao Dayoucai opened his eyes, he heard a series of questions.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Chen Mo didn't waste any time and ordered him to be tortured.

Under severe torture, the other party quickly explained everything clearly, just like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.

There were hundreds of them in the group, and they were indeed connected to the Qi Refiners of Du Tiandao.

According to what this person said, they were ordered by the immortal master to come here to hibernate. As for what they were going to do, they were not told.

As long as they wait here, an immortal master will come after a while.

However, they waited outside, but no one came.

The reason why he followed Chen Mo was because Chen Mo and his party rode into the city a few days ago. There was too much movement and they noticed it.

He came in mainly to inquire about the movements of Chen Mo and others and see when they would leave the county.

After obtaining these situations, plus the information obtained before, Chen Mo summarized it in his mind.

Everything became clear in an instant. The bandits first entered Qingmu County to hide, and then all the Tiandaomen took action. They were planning to go to Qingzhou to harvest something and then meet up with them here.

However, the imperial court learned in advance that there were bandits crossing the border, and then notified the adoptive father to send someone to investigate the specific situation here.

Chen Mo and the others happened to encounter those immortal masters and started fighting with them.

Of the five immortal masters, two died and one was seriously injured and escaped. Even if the remaining two were not injured, they would never dare to enter Xingyuan territory in a short time.

The people who were sent here in advance have become abandoned and can only continue to wait here.

"You take good care of him. From now on, no one except me is allowed in or out. Even if you die, you will die in this courtyard."

Chen Mo solemnly ordered everyone, since there are really hundreds of bandits entrenched outside the city, they must go to encircle and suppress them.

These hundreds of bandits are not ordinary bandits. According to Gao Dayou, these hundreds of bandits are all as young and strong as him. They have never practiced martial arts, but they have basically survived the fight, and each of them is strong. Holding weapons.

Chen Mo and the others now have less than thirty soldiers, and it is really difficult to wipe them all out.

He had no choice but to find a way to call for help quickly and let his adoptive father send elite troops to encircle and suppress him.

But this news must not be leaked before, otherwise when they rush over, they will definitely rush to nothing.

Two days later, Sun Shouren personally led his elite men to suppress the bandits. Chen Mo rode his horse into the formation and beheaded dozens of bandits.
