Hearing that they were looking for someone in Kyoto who might be an official, but knowing his name and place of origin, Mr. Ke’s father-in-law directly patted his chest and said to leave it to him.
"My eldest son Wenju serves in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is familiar with officials in Kyoto and all over the country. When he comes back, I will know by asking."
When Xu Mo heard this, he quickly thanked him.
In this way, Wei Sanniang's matter will be simple. All she has to do is wait for the result.
"Mr. Xu, are you Jiuyuan's teacher now?" Ke Zhanggong asked, Xu Mo nodded, and the former said: "Dr. Lin said in the letter that Mr. Xu has superb martial arts, unparalleled swordsmanship, and is admired by all the warriors in the world.
One of three."
Xu Mo didn't know that Lin Muchen rated him so highly.
"I am currently retiring from the martial arts world. I haven't fought with anyone in many years. I am a little bit scratchy in my skills. Why don't you, Mr. Xu, compete with me?" Ke's father-in-law asked.
It can be seen that the old man is looking forward to it.
Also, a martial arts master who used to be used to fighting and fighting suddenly became free like a retired old man, drinking tea and playing chess at home all day long.
It's okay if the time is short, but if the time is long, you will definitely have time to get sick.
But even if you want to find someone to take action, you must have an evenly matched opponent.
Just like playing chess, it would be interesting if you, a chess master, go to find elementary school students to play.
According to Ke's father-in-law, both of his legs were cramping. Now that he knew Xu Mo was a master, he naturally wanted to compete.
It’s not for anything else, I just want to have a good time and vent.
Xu Mo thought about it, that would be fine.
"If you use a sword to avoid accidents, then I'll use boxing."
Xu Mo also practices Hu Zun Quan frequently, and his kung fu has not fallen behind. The main reason is that his internal strength has now reached the peak of "grandmaster" level.
Therefore, even the most common martial arts will be twice as powerful if put into his hands, no different from the peerless magical arts.
Get ready and take action directly.
Ke's father-in-law jumped forward and raised his hand to strike. Xu Mo sidestepped and punched back, but Ke's father-in-law had already raised his foot to take the bait and kicked Xu Mo's chin at an extremely tricky angle and speed.
Xu Mochen blocked with his fist, and a huge force came from him, as if he was kicked by a horse's hoof.
This old man has really strong legs.
There should still be some strength left, and if it is used with all its strength, it is estimated that the strength can be increased several times.
Xu Mo turned his fist into a claw, grabbing his ankle, and at the same time smashed his other hand from top to bottom. However, Ke Zhanggong turned around, and his legs came out like whips, sweeping towards him with a wave of heat.
I had no choice but to block with both hands if I wanted to avoid being kicked.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged several moves.
Xu Mo didn't move at the same spot, amazed by his powerful internal energy. However, Ke Zhanggong was neither panting nor shaking. He was standing on one leg, with the other leg bent and hanging, showing the aura of a master.
"Happy, come again!"
Ke's father-in-law screamed in excitement and attacked again.
It's a tough path.
Xu Mo is also extremely calm. The Tiger Roaring Fist is more defensive than offensive at the moment. In a short time, he has made more than a hundred moves.
To be honest, Xu Mo felt that his martial arts skills were not as good as his opponent's, including his experience and moves. The only one who could be better than Ke Zhanggong might be that he was younger and had stronger internal strength.
After all, Ke Zhanggong's internal strength has only reached the level of Dacheng, and is not as good as Xu Mo's 'reaching the pinnacle' of the master level.
My father-in-law, Ke, also knows his stuff.
"Hehehe, no more fight, no more fight."
He jumped back with a look of joy on his face.
"Unexpectedly, Lin Muchen lied to me. You are already a master. Not to mention that I am old and frail now. Even if I go back twenty years, I will not be your opponent."
This is true.
As for Xu Mo's internal strength, any ordinary set of boxing techniques and palm techniques can exert 300% or even 400% of its power.
How to fight this?
However, the two of them were just competing, not fighting for their lives. It was enough to have fun.
Rested for a while.
Over there, Ke's father-in-law's daughter, the one who was obsessed with cultivating immortals, insisted on taking Xiang Ying and Lin Jiuyuan out for shopping. Xu Mo nodded before they went.
Obviously, no matter what era or world, women like to go shopping.
Xu Mo simply drank tea and chatted with his father-in-law Ke, discussing martial arts.
After a while, Ke Wenju came back. Ke's father-in-law stopped him and asked Xu Mo what he had asked him to do.
When the latter heard this, he frowned.
"Dad, you have forgotten that Mr. Liang is the Minister of Household Affairs and his son's immediate boss. Why are you asking Mr. Liang?" Ke Wenju's words made Ke's father-in-law stunned.
The latter reacted: "So, that Liang Shangshu is Liang Wenhou?"
"Dad, it's disrespectful to call Lord Shangshu by his first name. This is at home, and you can't say that outside."
"Your father, I don't know this yet? Do you need to teach me a lesson?" Mr. Ke said with a straight face.
Xu Mo listened on the sidelines and did not expect that this matter could be accomplished so easily.
And, what a coincidence.
Liang Lang, whom Wei Sanniang cared about most, was now the third-rank official of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the official was the Minister of Household Affairs.
That's a high official.
Respected status.
In this case, there is no need to ask Ke Wenju for more inquiries. It should not be difficult to find the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue when going out.
And if you know the place and the name, you don’t even need to visit it in person, you can just ask it in your dream.
Xu Mo smiled.
I didn't expect this to be done so easily.
It can be regarded as granting Wei Sanniang's wish.
Xu Mo planned to go out for a walk immediately to see where the Shangshu Mansion was. In this case, he would just let Wei Sanniang ask her dream. Wei Sanniang's spirit-attacking technique had also gained some momentum, and he might not need to take action on this small matter personally.
After saying something to Lao Ke, Xu Mo stepped out of Ke's house.
This time he was alone, and he immediately felt free and at ease. He bought a mung bean cake on the way and asked about the location of the House of the Minister of Revenue.
While eating, I went there and soon saw Shangshu Mansion.
Obviously more impressive than the Ke family.
After writing down the location, Xu Moxin made up his mind.
At this time, Xu Mo heard someone calling him, turned around and saw that it was Lin Jiuyuan.
"Didn't you get dragged out for shopping?" Xu Mo was puzzled.
Lin Jiuyuan came over and said, "There are many people in the streets. I accidentally got separated. Master Xu, why are you out too?"
"Come out to do a little errand." Xu Mo glanced at Lin Jiuyuan.
I feel like there's something different about the other person than before.
Xu Mo couldn't tell what was different for a while.
"Jiuyuan, are you okay?"
"Master Xu, have you seen it?" Lin Jiuyuan raised his head and asked, then looked around and pulled Xu Mo into an alley.
The alley is narrow, deserted, and dark with little light.
"What's wrong?" Xu Mo was confused.
Lin Jiuyuan took something out of his arms and handed it to Xu Mo.
"Master Xu, take a look at this first."
I took it over and saw that it was a small box.
The box was simple and simple. When he opened it and took a look, Xu Mo was stunned.
Inside the box is a bloody eyeball.
The eyeball, filled with incredible resentment, exploded the moment it was opened, and Xu Mo's face collapsed with flesh and blood.
The accident came too suddenly, making people unexpected and unprepared.
(twenty-two)
The gentle breeze mixed with the fragrance of vegetation in the jungle, wrapped in the last ray of tenderness blown from the setting sun, like a girl's gentle little hand, patting Xu Mo's face.
"I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that I was so flustered and upset. I never thought that there was a small bomb next to me. What a shame!"
Xu Mo opened his eyes and sang.
He really sang it.
Mainly because I feel depressed and very unhappy.
It's like you're playing a Souls-based game and can't save. You've defeated several BOSSs and explored new maps, but you didn't expect that after killing a BOSS, the other party suddenly faked the corpse and gave you an unexpected counterattack.
Level, equipment, reputation.
Everything is like a passing cloud.
You still have to brush it from scratch.
This is the most irritating thing.
Of course, it's not like starting over from scratch. Xu Mo can keep the experience and skills gained last time in his mind and use them again.
In this way, every start will be a new one, a more perfect start every time.
If you think so, that's not bad.
So Xu Mo quickly corrected his mentality. He was no longer bored or angry, but he was left with a deep sense of confusion.
"Jiuyuan, Jiuyuan, why do you want to kill my master?"
Xu Mo said to himself.
In the last cycle, the final cause of his death was not the sudden explosion of the eyeball, but a sneak attack by someone. Xu Mo had never been prepared for this person, nor had he thought about it.
That's why the opponent was able to succeed with one hit, killing him by surprise.
Even the opponent's own wandering mind was instantly imprisoned.
That exploding eyeball can imprison the wandering god.
Xu Mo has already thought of this.
"Jiuyuan, you used the swordsmanship taught by your master to kill your master with a sword. Why?"
Xu Mo was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.
But he finally found a possibility.
"Unless you are not Lin Jiuyuan!" Xu Mo squinted his eyes and thought of this possibility. Then he pushed back to the point where he was attacked and recalled Lin Jiuyuan's words and deeds bit by bit. He will find that since entering Kyoto, she seems to have
There have been some changes.
These changes are not obvious, and if you don't observe carefully, you will definitely miss them.
Although Xu Mo was aware of it at the time, he just felt that Lin Jiuyuan had her own concerns and didn't particularly care.
Thinking about it now, maybe some kind of terrifying change happened to Lin Jiuyuan at that time.
The inducement that Xu Mo could think of was naturally Taoist Lingzhao's eyeballs.
"The three animals have returned to one. Doesn't it mean that if the subject of the spell dies, then the spell will be cracked? Xiang Ying has also confirmed this with me. Taoist Lingzhao is indeed dead, so why is Jiuyuan still in the middle?
Recruited?"
Xu Mo squinted his eyes and thought about this matter carefully.
Something suddenly occurred to him.
Taoist Lingzhao’s weird smile.
At that time in Fangshi, the other party was about to die, but he was still able to laugh.
It seems that Taoist Lingzhao must be hiding something behind his back.
"But his body is obviously dead, and his soul has been swallowed up by the owner of the workshop. What other tricks can he hide?" Xu Mo was thinking about the technique of returning three animals to one.
Suddenly, he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.
"Unless Taoist Lingzhao is not Taoist Lingzhao, or in other words, what Xiangying and I killed was not Taoist Lingzhao's body, but another 'sacrifice person' who was one of his three animals."
Thinking of this, Xu Mo's scalp suddenly went numb.
Only this possibility can explain what happened to Lin Jiuyuan.
From the beginning, she never got rid of the influence of Taoist Lingzhao.
It's just that Taoist Lingzhao played a trick and faked his death to let himself relax his vigilance, and then secretly corrupted and controlled Lin Jiuyuan without any precautions.
"Yes, at that time Lin Jiuyuan was already a Lingzhao Taoist. He killed Jiuyuan's mind, took over her body, and then used the eyeball to attract my attention, suppressing the wandering god at the same time, and successfully attacked me in a sneak attack."
