The villain is ill
Chapter 43
He will come to clean it every two days. He just cleaned it yesterday. The room is very clean without any dust.The man went straight to the bookshelf without turning on the lights when he entered the room, and reached out to turn a vase on it. With a crisp sound, the bookshelves moved away from both sides, and a brightly lit passage appeared behind the bookshelves.
In the huge cave, the chains extending from the seven stars are intertwined layer by layer, and a high platform is suspended in the middle, on which there is a white ice crystal coffin.
Standing on the stage, Chu Mo looked down at the coffin. The boy in the coffin had a round face with black hair, red lips, and even a slight smile on his lips, as if he would open his eyes in the next moment. He put his hands on his chest, Holding a shiny white object, one can vaguely tell it is a piece of crescent-shaped jade, but the pattern on it cannot be seen clearly.Red silk thread was tied around the boy's hands, feet and neck, and the end of the thread was connected with a chain.
Obviously, the person behind the scenes has painstakingly planned for 20 years, hollowed out a mountain, imprisoned the entire city residents with lead wire Gu, forced the city residents to become demons, built the seven-star soul-gathering formation, and sacrificed thousands of people, all for the sake of this dead boy.
Chi Wushang stood beside Chu Mo, and said, "If you cut the red line, the formation will fail."
Chu Mo nodded, and asked, "The lead Gu?"
"Don't worry, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, it is definitely not easy to control a city of people with one mother Gu for two days, let alone a mortal with no cultivation."
Without asking why Chi Wushang knew that the man was a mortal, Chu Mo just asked, "How about mortals?"
Chi Wushang glanced at the coffin, and replied: "The mother Gu will suck his blood from time to time, and every time he activates it, his heart will be twisted like a knife, until his heart is broken. If the formation is activated smoothly, then today is the day of his death." .”
Not to mention that the formation can really work to revive the boy, even if it can, then what's the point if he can't see it?
Looking at the young man in the coffin again, Chu Mo shook his head, "Aren't you stupid? Why bother?"
Hearing Chu Mo's exclamation, Chi Wushang laughed.
"Master, is there something wrong with my words?" Chu Mo turned his head to look at Chi Wushang.
Chi Wushang explained: "I'm not making fun of you as a teacher, but I just think what my disciple said is very true."
Seeing that Chi Wushang agreed, Chu Mo nodded and raised his sword neatly.
He could tell the difference between [-] innocent people and one dead person.
With a swiping of the sword, the red rope snapped with a "snap", the iron chain rattled and shook, and the high platform holding the coffin suddenly fell straight down as if losing its fulcrum.
"No!"
The man who had just walked out of the aisle let out a desperate cry. He desperately ran towards the direction where the coffin fell, and stretched out his hand as if trying to catch it, but his speed could not match the speed of the fall.
The coffin was smashed to pieces in front of him, and the people inside turned into a puddle of dust like ice.At the same time, a fragment pierced the man's chest like a sharp sword.This fragment is nothing but the jade pendant in the boy's hand.
The man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to a place more than ten meters away from the coffin.
Seeing that he hit someone, Chu Mo wanted to go down to save him, but was held down by Chi Wushang.
Using both hands and feet, the man struggled to crawl towards the coffin, and he quickly dragged a long bloodstain on the ground.
Finally, he crawled to the center of the coffin fragments, stretched his arms and struggled to gather the pile of white dust together, lying on his side, holding them in his arms, with a vague laugh from his throat, he touched his chest still Seeing the bleeding wound, he slowly closed his eyes, "That's great..."
Chu Mo picked up the purse left by the man on the ground. The indigo purse was rough in color and the stitches were very messy. It looked like a child's practice work. There are traces of the words "Jinyang presents brother Chenyue", presumably this is the name of the two.
Seeing that Chu Mo had been looking at the purse, Chi Wushang asked, "Do you regret it?"
Chu Mo shook his head, "No. Since you have already made your choice, how can you regret it?" He leaned over and put the purse into the man's arms, "Let's bury them."
The rain is still falling, but the suffocation in the air has disappeared without a trace. The citizens in the rain regained their senses. They greeted the hard-won rain with joy, completely unaware that the deadly lock hanging around their necks had been quietly released. open.
Thanks to this heavy rain, young shoots gradually sprouted in the dry and cracked fields, and there was no food and water problem, and the demonic nature of the people who regained their freedom gradually dissipated.
The rain continued until the third day, and the escort team's trip was also delayed. When the sun appeared again, the barren fields were already a little green, and the village outside the official road could see a few houses on the left. There is a white silk hanging on the side, which is a sign of a child who died young.
The old man with a stick was standing by the roadside. Seeing the escort team coming, he stuffed a bag of mushroom pancakes for Chu Mo, "I picked these in the woods this morning, and they were freshly baked. I thought it would clear up today, so you must leave." , I brought you some, it’s not a rarity, I’ll keep it for the road.”
Chu Mo got off his horse and picked it up, quietly stuffed an ingot of silver into his arms, and said with a smile, "Thank you, old man."
"Oh, last time, for some reason, I was really confused. I wanted to tell you that I thought there was something wrong with the well water in the city, and it had an indescribable smell when I drank it, but I couldn't tell you why. The old man sighed, "Old, old."
"Isn't it raining now? There should be no shortage of water," Chu Mo said.
The old man became happy again when he heard the words, and said repeatedly: "No shortage, no shortage, those strange dead people have also been buried in the ground, and finally they are going to a better life, and I, an old man, can also go to the ground with peace of mind!"
After saying goodbye to the old man, the city gate behind him gradually faded away.
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Wanrong muttered to herself, "It's strange, I clearly remember that it didn't rain in Qinyang City before it was destroyed in the plot, why did it suddenly rain..."
Hearing this, Chu Mo rode his horse and looked back, seeing the city gate standing far away, he suddenly smiled.
"What are you thinking?" Chi Wushang asked.
Chu Mo did not hide anything, and said to Chi Wushang: "I have been thinking about what is right and what is wrong these days."
Chi Wushang asked: "Have you figured it out?"
Chu Mo smiled and said, "Understood."
Chi Wushang said: "Then the teacher asks you, what is right? What is wrong?"
Chu Mo said: "There is no absolute in the world between right and wrong. That's the case. Whatever I choose is right; what I disagree with is wrong."
After speaking, Chu Mo was a little worried about whether his speech was too arrogant, but seeing Chi Wushang smiled, he said: "Not bad."
"What are you talking about? So happy." At this time, Chen Qingpeng rode a horse and leaned against Chu Mo and asked.
Chu Mo smiled, "It's rare that you are not waiting by the carriage."
Chen Qingpeng scratched the back of his head and blushed, "Brother Shu, don't tease me. To tell you the truth, it was my junior sister who asked me to come over to check on you guys having a good chat."
Chu Mo looked at the carriage ahead, and saw Chen Wanrong lift half of the curtain to look this way, saw him look over, and waved at him with a smile, Chu Mo turned his head without a wave, so he didn't see Chen Wanrong being surprised Generally, the action of pulling down the curtain suddenly.
Chen Qingpeng glanced at Chi Wushang, then subconsciously withdrew his gaze, but his smile froze when he met Chu Mo, "By the way, Brother Shu, are you going to Jiehai City?"
"Yes." Chu Mo replied.
"We are going to Xujing City, so we will part soon?" Speaking of this, Chen Qingpeng heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he still felt a little bit reluctant.Although he targeted Chu Mo all day long, it was only based on his rival's sense of crisis. Now that the crisis has been resolved, he feels a little sympathetic with Chu Mo.
Chu Mo nodded, "The next town will diverge."
"According to the current pace, it will only be one day at most." Chen Qingpeng was full of reluctance, and even Chi Wushang didn't care about being afraid, and leaned against Chu Mo again, "Brother Shu, there is one thing I want to ask you... ..."
Chu Mo saw that his expression was not natural, and he was not as usual, but he couldn't think of any intersection between him and him, so he asked, "What?"
Chen Qingpeng patted his head, then the mane on the horse's neck, and asked after a while, "Can you take me with you when you have dinner tonight?"
Every time when Chi Wushang cooks, the smell is so seductive that he can't bear it, but he hated Chu Mo before, and was afraid of Chi Wushang's power, so he never went to beg for food. Muster up the courage to speak.
Chu Mo only said that it was something else important, and when he heard what Chen Qingpeng said, he also laughed, and immediately agreed, "Of course."
With Chu Mo's consent, Chen Qingpeng happily went back to the front.
Seeing that he was so happy, Chen Wanrong asked the reason, and when she learned that he was going to have dinner with Chu Mo tonight, she couldn't help becoming angry, "I haven't even eaten with Brother Shu!" Shang, but she didn't dare to mention the matter of being together, "Anyway, it's just two characters that haven't appeared in the plot, so I don't care."
After Chen San let go of the camp that night, Chen Qingpeng got off his horse and pitched the tent, and couldn't wait to find Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was dressed in red and was very easy to find among the crowd. From a distance, he saw the two of them sitting on a rock talking to each other. Chen Qingpeng walked over quickly and asked, "Brother Shu, can you help me pick up firewood?"
Chu Mo held a palm-sized piece of wood in his left hand and a carving knife in his right. He was asking Chi Wushang what to carve, when he heard Chen Qingpeng's question, he turned his head, "No, just sit down for a while."
Seeing something in Chu Mo's hands, Chen Qingpeng calmed down, and sat down on the grass next to him. Before he sat down, he was attracted by the movements in Chu Mo's hands.
He recognized that it was just the most common or even inferior pine wood, because the wood was loose, it was only used by novice carvers.But seeing Chu Mo's actions, Chen Qingpeng never believed that he was a beginner.
The small carving knife fluttered among the wood chips, and the silver light it brought was like a fluttering silver butterfly. After watching for a while, Chen Qingpeng felt dazzled, so he had to turn his eyes to Chu Mo's hand, only then did he realize that this young man Gentle, the boy who looks like an ordinary frail scholar has surprisingly good-looking hands, as transparent as jade, without even a trace of calluses on his whole hand, he looks like a pampered young master.
Perhaps it was because of his unusual status that he needed such a powerful guard.
Just as Chen Qingpeng was staring at Chu Mo's hand in a daze, the wood in Chu Mo's hand had already been carved, and it was a parrot.
The parrot tilted its head and opened its mouth slightly, as if it was about to speak in the next moment.
"It's so similar." Chen Qingpeng marveled, "Brother Shu, your family must be a sculptor!"
Chu Mo smiled, handed the parrot to Chi Wushang, and then replied, "I'm just learning, and I still have a lot of shortcomings."
"Brother Shu is too modest." Chen Qingpeng wanted to borrow it to play with it, but seeing the parrot in Chi Wushang's hands, he had no choice but to give up.
"You're here for dinner." Chu Mo put away the carving knife and said with a smile, "I'm neglecting you." After speaking, he took out the mushroom pancakes given by the old man during the day from the bundle, "There just happened to be a lot, These pancakes are not suitable for storage, if you don't eat them today, they will go bad, you should eat more."
Chen Qingpeng: "..."
