At the wine table, Xu Mo and his father-in-law Ke, who has the title of Shenlong Lieham, were drinking and chatting happily.
Xu Mo has a problem. When he is stressed, he likes to eat.
You have to eat the banquet prepared by your father-in-law Ke, right?
Since it was a banquet, how could we miss out on wine?
You have to drink, right?
Eating and drinking together is the only way to relieve stress.
The source of Xu Mo's pressure is still related to the Weapon Refining Pavilion. Of course, this is only one aspect. There is another reason that Xu Mo did not tell anyone.
"This cycle has broken the record again. Logically speaking, this is a good thing, but why do I always feel an inexplicable palpitation, as if something bad is about to happen."
Xu Mo drank the wine in the glass, then played with it in his hands and stared at the glass.
The wine glass is exquisitely made, beautiful and valuable.
Although Xu Mo looked at the wine glass, he didn't look at it. He was just looking at it, but his heart was looking at something else.
He figured out something.
Why does he feel palpitations and uneasiness?
"Mr. Xu, what are you looking at? Are you drunk?" Ke's father-in-law asked with a smile.
This old man is quite interesting.
He is not young yet, but his style of doing things is like that of a naughty child. Just now, the two of them were drinking, and somehow they got into a fight. It was one cup for you and one for me, and no one was convinced by the other.
Xu Mo did it to relieve stress.
Mr. Ke's father-in-law did it entirely because of his desire to win.
"Master Ke is joking, I won't even get drunk if you get drunk."
"Then it's full, let's go on, come on, bring two more altars." The last sentence, Mr. Ke Zhanggong said to his servants.
Father-in-law Ke's house is quite impressive.
This is not entirely because of his status in the world, but also because the other party has a son who is an official.
His eldest son, Ke Wenju, was a fourth-rank official in the Great Xia Dynasty, and he was also a prominent figure. Therefore, the Ke family was a family of officials.
Father-in-law Ke has another son and a daughter.
The second son is not good at studying literature, but he is good at martial arts. It is said that he has obtained the true inheritance from his father-in-law Ke, and his martial arts has reached 80%. What little is missing is just a lack of years of training.
Ke's father-in-law said that his second son's future achievements would be greater than his.
When he said this, the old man was extremely pleased and proud.
As the saying goes, "I hope that my son will become a dragon day by day. After ten years of hard work, once my wings are full and my wings are full, I suddenly see the hair on my temples."
Lao Ke also has a daughter.
He doesn’t like literature or martial arts, but he loves the ‘way to immortality’.
That is, lovers of immortality.
It is said that I have been studying it for several years and my cultivation level is quite high.
But Xu Mo has seen each other.
Not so good.
If you really have the ability and practice, you should be able to notice it when you see yourself.
Otherwise, it would be fine if you can tell that Xiang Ying is unusual.
But the other party didn't.
There was no power fluctuation in his body, so Xu Mo felt uncomfortable.
Of course, he couldn't say this, and there was no need to mention it.
When being a guest, harmony is the main thing. Just like now, when we drink and chat, both the host and the guest are happy. How wonderful!
In the end, if the eldest son of Ke's father-in-law hadn't been so angry and came to tell his father to go back and rest, I guess this drinking party would have lasted until dawn.
"Old Ke, I'm a little afraid of his son." Xu Mo was lying on the bed in the guest room, with the window open and Xiang Ying hanging upside down outside.
She just likes to go off the beaten path.
She didn't answer Xu Mo's words.
Mainly because I don't like to talk about these ordinary little things.
"When you become a high official, it is right to be a little arrogant, but you are a bit arrogant. This is obviously directed at us. It is said that 'elderly people are old and weak, so they should not drink too much at night, or they will lose their longevity.'
, it means we are ignorant."
Xu Mo continued.
Xiangying didn't answer, so he talked to himself.
You said you are wise and don't say anything?
Xu Mo doesn't have this habit at all.
What he wants to talk about must be talked about.
"You talk too much." Xiang Ying said suddenly.
The implication is that something is wrong with you.
"I have an ominous premonition." Xu Mo said what was on his mind.
I ate and drank, and there was no pressure at all at the time, but afterwards, my heart palpitations did not subside at all, but intensified.
"Are you afraid that someone will harm you at night?" Xiang Ying asked.
"I'm worried about this." Xu Mo nodded.
Xiang Ying suddenly turned over and swam into the house, lying next to Xu Mo.
"Don't be afraid, I'll sleep with you."
"Hey, we have to agree on this. The ugly things have to be said first. You are just accompanying me. You must not covet my body or have any wrong thoughts about me."
Xu Mo turned around and said.
"Don't worry, I'm not hungry and I won't eat you."
"That's good. By the way, is Jiuyuan asleep?"
"She's asleep. She's not as healthy as you and me, and she still can't bear it. She was on the road for days. She didn't sleep at Hozenji Temple the day before yesterday. She drove all the way to Kyoto and was already sleepy."
"That's right. I see that Jiuyuan is a little dazed and absent-minded today. It turns out he is a little sleepy."
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
"It's not decided yet, let me think about it first."
After Xu Mo finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
He had figured out a truth before. His fear lay in the fear of the unknown and the future. This kind of fear could not be resolved by lying beside Xiang Ying.
But Xu Mo knew that he actually didn't need to be afraid.
For him, even if he was beaten back to the Bajiao Pavilion, it would just be a fresh start. Everything had changed, but it seemed that nothing had changed.
Xu Mo planned to take some time off and have a good rest.
He was also sleepy.
Go to sleep.
With Xiangying beside me, I can sleep peacefully and have a good sleep.
In a daze, I could only feel the smoke.
Xu Mo heard someone calling him.
"Master Xu Xian!"
The other party called out several times before Xu Mo realized what he was doing. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Wei Sanniang.
The top oiran was a little uneasy at the moment. He stood far away and saw Xu Mo open his eyes before coming over to salute.
"Sanniang, I have met Master Xu!"
This Wei Sanniang was brought by Xu Mo when he went to Yunxia Valley in Gualong Mountain. It has always been in the little black flag.
Xu Mo would take her with him every time he went to Yunxia Valley.
Wei Sanniang is also considered a fierce ghost.
Huai Yuanhui said that she had the potential to become a 'ghost king', and Xu Mo also saw it. He had found some ghost cultivation methods to teach her before, but in terms of her ability to truly develop combat power, she was still a little short of the mark.
"Are you entrusting me with a dream?"
Xu Mo reacted.
It was obvious that Wei Sanniang was entrusting her with a dream.
Because Xu Mo passed on the "Spirit Attack Technique" to her, Wei Sanniang has a high level of understanding and can now use it at will with good results.
"What's the matter?"
"Sanniang does have something to ask Master Xu!"
Wei Sanniang took a deep breath and explained the reason.
It's still her past love debt, which is where her obsession lies.
At first, the passing scholar made a private arrangement with her for life, spending time together, eating her food, drinking her food, and living in her house. After a while, he felt that he was good at learning, so he said goodbye and went to Kyoto to take the college entrance examination.
Once I went there, I never went back.
Wei Sanniang also couldn't think about this matter, so she hanged herself and became a ghost.
"This happened twenty years ago, right?" Xu Mo remembered that he had heard this story many times and had even told it in the city.
Of course it is still fresh in my memory.
"Yes, Master Xu Xian is in Kyoto now. Sanniang boldly asks if you can help me find my husband."
Xu Mo thought for a while and agreed.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but now it's really not that difficult for him to find someone.
Secondly, in the previous cycle, Xu Mo promised Wei Sanniang to help her with this favor.
Therefore, even if I didn't agree this time, since someone comes to ask for help, I will help if I can.
After all, Wei Sanniang was also a miserable person.
"What's his name?" Xu Mo asked.
"Liang Wenhou!"
"Where are you from?"
"A native of Siping County, Sichuan Province."
"I understand. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to inquire about it. If I have any information, I will tell you."
When Wei Sanniang heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly thanked her.
Xu Mo stopped the other person at this time and asked: "If I can't find it, I won't tell you. But if I find it, how will you treat me?"
Wei Sanniang thought for a while: "Before, I just wanted to ask this heartless man why he broke his promise and abandoned me, but that day I listened to the immortal master lecture Mr. Huai on Buddhism, and I had an epiphany. Now I just want to see how he is doing now.
I have fulfilled my wish and will follow the immortal master to learn Dharma and practice Buddhism from now on."
"Just for a look, don't you want to peel off his skin, beat his tendons, and eat his flesh?"
"When will retribution be repaid? I am determined to let go. Master Immortal, didn't you say that if you let go, you will gain Prajna? If you let go, you will become a Buddha!"
"Correction, I only understand some Buddhist principles and some Buddhist scriptures, but I am not a Buddhist, let alone a monk."
"Immortal Master is too worried. Sanniang only calls you Immortal Master, not Master!"
"...Warui Gude, you have become a disciple of Sanniang!"
Early the next morning, Xu Mo had already gotten up.
He has new goals and plans.
I am going to buy some long swords first. The more the better, and store them in Qiankun Sleeves. In this way, I can control many swords. Doesn’t it mean that the root of fear is lack of firepower? For Xu Mo, more swords mean a steady stream of firepower.
.
No matter what the enemy is, throw hundreds of swords at you, and even immortals and Buddhas can tie you up into lotus pods.
There was no other way. Xu Mo was influenced by various fairy tale novels and movies and TV dramas. He always felt that to cultivate immortality, he had to practice swordsmanship. Only then would he be elegant and powerful.
Whatever monsters you are, I will kill them all with one sword.
How fierce and handsome.
In addition to making swords, Xu Mo's original plan was to explore history. The royal city of Kyoto naturally has inheritance and there are many history books. If you want to understand what happened eight hundred years ago, you can definitely start here.
This was Xu Mo's original plan.
But now there is one more thing to do, which is to help Wei Sanniang find her Liang Lang.
Twenty years ago, he came to Beijing to take the exam, and Xu Mo estimated that he had passed the exam.
Otherwise, if you fail the exam, you will definitely go back to find Wei Sanniang.
If this were the case, those who could pass the exam twenty years ago would probably already be officials.
It may be a capital official or a local official sent abroad.
But as long as you are an official, it is definitely easiest to ask another official.
"Isn't Lao Ke's son the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Just ask him to find out."
Xu Mo immediately went to find Lao Ke.
Father-in-law Ke also got up. After all, he is a master of martial arts and has superb internal skills. Although he is old, he has a good foundation. Even though he drank until midnight last night, he was full of energy after sleeping all night.
I'm practicing right now.
Seeing Xu Mo coming, he immediately stepped forward with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, how did you sleep last night?"
"Master Ke, I slept well."
"What a hero, I still like you to call me Lao Ke."
"Okay Lao Ke, Lao Ke, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Whatever happens, just ask, I'll definitely do it for you."
Although Ke's father-in-law is old, he still has the heroic spirit of the world. No matter whether this matter can be done or not, he agrees first.
Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, only those he respects and considers his friends.
