On a rainy night, at an abandoned inn, Xu Mo looked at the two people opposite and asked, "Passers-by!"
"Passenger?"
The person opposite took off his raincoat and bamboo hat, revealing his face.
It's a woman.
He is quite heroic, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall stature. He has an aura of energy and blood that is unique to warriors and is stronger than ordinary people.
"Now that everything is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, and this place is in a remote place, who would walk on such a rainy night?" the woman asked, obviously walking while Xu Mo spoke.
But the problem is, Xu Mo feels that he doesn't need to explain to the other party what he does.
They are all passers-by. You come here to take shelter from the rain, and I also rest here. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. Why are you deliberately looking for trouble?
Of course, the reason Xu Mo didn't want to talk to them was that they were both human beings.
It's not something weird.
If the strange thing was so innocent and looking for trouble, Xu Mo would have killed it long ago.
But even if he is a human being, if he has evil intentions, Xu Mo will not be polite.
"The world is in chaos, so we are not allowed to leave?" Xu Mo asked back at this time.
The woman over there might also think there was something wrong with the way she asked before, so she shook her head and said, "I just think it's strange."
But her companion next to her said at this time: "Junior sister, I just tested it with the cicada. If the cicada doesn't crow, it means that the other person is a human. Since he is a human, don't worry about him."
This man also took off his raincoat and shook off the rainwater.
The other person's face was covered with stubble, he was quite rough, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
The woman nodded, and the two quickly made a fire to keep warm.
It's still very cold at night, especially since we haven't seen the sun for so many days.
Xu Mo just glanced at it and ignored it.
This man and woman are both warriors. The man carries a sword and the woman carries a sword. Their energy is restrained, their movements are like the wind, and their martial arts skills are not weak.
However, despite his high martial arts skills, he cannot defeat evil and strange things.
Xu Mo, on the other hand, was very curious about the so-called 'spirit cicada' in the opponent's hand. According to what the man just said, the cicada would scream if it encounters something strange.
Vice versa it won't.
Ordinary people would definitely not be able to obtain such rare items, so Xu Mo was a little curious about the identities of this man and woman.
The wind and rain outside were getting louder and louder, hitting the door panel with a crackling sound.
At this time there was movement outside again.
Xu Mo was naturally the first to discover it. How could this place be so lively?
After a while, a group of people came in, all wearing raincoats to protect themselves from the rain, and carrying swords. When they saw the man and woman who came in before, the leader stepped forward, looked at them, and asked, "Are you a senior from the Yueshan Sect?"
A man and a woman stood up and nodded.
"We are from the Fugu Gang, and I am Liu Han, the gang leader." said the leading man.
"It turns out to be Gang Leader Liu!" The man and woman said politely.
People in martial arts circles have their own set of rules for how to treat people and treat others. Depending on the appearance of both parties, it seems like a victorious rendezvous.
"This time the Tianwu Alliance calls on the heroes..."
Gang Leader Liu just said something, and the male and female knights coughed. Only then did Gang Leader Liu notice the presence of Xu Mo, an 'outsider'.
"Who is this?" Leader Liu asked.
"Passerby!" Xu Mo identified himself again.
"There is chaos today, people are in dire straits, and this place is in a remote place. Who would travel on such a rainy night?" Leader Liu didn't believe it, and Xu Mo was helpless.
Why is this question exactly the same as what the heroine asked just now?
"Could it be an evil spirit?" Gang Leader Liu took something from his arms. It was a bamboo cage. Needless to say, there was also a cicada inside.
Xu Mo narrowed his eyes this time.
It would be fine if just one person had this thing, but why did the male and female knights and Gang Leader Liu actually have one?
Xu Mo was curious, so he asked.
"Huh, since you're just a passerby, don't mind your own business and just go on your way." Leader Liu snorted coldly.
But the next moment, he was stunned.
The bamboo cage in my hand has disappeared.
Looking again, it was already in Xu Mo's hands.
"Lingchan? This thing is a weird thing in itself!" Xu Mo stared at it and immediately discovered the clue.
"You, when will you... give it back to me quickly!" Gang Leader Liu was shocked, then became furious, and drew his sword. The men who followed him also stepped forward to surround Xu Mo and drew their swords at each other.
The male and female knights of the Yueshan Sect also looked wary, touching and pressing the hilts of their swords, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Mainly because no one noticed how Xu Mo took something from Gang Leader Liu just now.
"Give it back to you!" Xu Mo threw it away, and the small bamboo cage was in the hands of gang leader Liu. The latter was about to speak, but Xu Mo looked towards the door.
"Why is there anyone else?"
Sure enough, after a while, there were footsteps and the sound of bells.
This time, there was only one person.
He is a swordsman.
Holding an oilcloth umbrella, he holds a long sword in one hand, which is very elegant. There is also a bell tied to the hilt of the sword. When he takes a step, it rings.
"Golden Bell Sword Saint Lu Changqing!"
"Master Lu is here!"
At that moment, people from both the Fugu Gang and the Yueshan Sect surrounded him.
"Gang Leader Liu...are these two disciples of Mr. Qiu of the Yueshan Sect?"
The hero Lu came in and said, obviously, he had a vicious eye.
"Master Lu, my master has often mentioned you, saying that you are one of the three swordsmen in the world and a giant in the martial arts world!" The female hero seemed to be star-struck, and her tone of voice changed.
"Mr. Qiu is overrated. I think Mr. Qiu is the third best swordsman in the world!"
Xu Mo felt a little embarrassed hearing this exchange of blows.
At the same time, I thought to myself, for ordinary people in the martial arts world, the first and second swords should refer to Dongling Zhijie and Lin Muchen, right?
If you don’t understand, just ask.
"This is..." Lu Changqing looked at Xu Mo, obviously he didn't know him and had never heard of him.
But he noticed the sword bag next to Xu Mo, and speculated that it must be a martial arts practitioner.
"He is a passerby!" the female hero said proactively.
"Passengers?" Lu Changqing said with a smile: "There is a lot of chaos today, people are in dire straits, and this place is in a remote place. Who would travel on such a rainy night?"
here we go again!
Xu Mo really didn't know what to say.
Of course, after thinking about it carefully, it is normal for people to be worried, because no normal person would appear here at such a time and in such a place.
It's suspicious, not surprising.
If they were themselves, they would also be suspicious.
And according to his own temperament, he would be killed immediately if he said no.
"Don't have any doubts. I am indeed a passerby. Meeting you all is a complete coincidence." Xu Mo was very sincere.
"He is indeed not a demon, Ling Chan has tested it!" The female knight of the Yueshan Sect also said: "But his martial arts is very high and talented. Everyone was unprepared and took away the spiritual Zen in the hands of Gang Leader Liu, and his body skills were ghostly.
"
"Since he is a fellow martial artist, he probably came here in response to the Tianwu Alliance's order to punish evil."
"Master Lu, this matter is confidential."
"It doesn't matter. You can't hide this kind of thing. Maybe it has already spread."
Lu Changqing said, pointing to the sword pouch over there. Because it was placed on the ground and there were debris, the two groups of people didn't notice it before.
"As a fellow martial artist, we also received orders from the Tianwu Alliance to punish evil. If we had told him earlier, it would have made us suspicious." Leader Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
But in fact, Xu Mo didn't even know what the Tianwu Alliance's evil-killing order was.
At this time, Lu Changqing asked again: "Brother, what is your surname?"
"My surname is Xu, Xu Mo!" Xu Mo also handed over.
Lu Changqing was thinking about it, and so were the others, probably wondering if there was such a person in the world.
The result is, I have never heard of it.
"Brother Xu asked just now who the three swordsmen in the world are. In fact, this is just a false name, but it is recognized that the first sword is Dongling Zhijie, and the second sword is Lin Muchen by the Xiangshui Lake!"
It was exactly what Xu Mo thought.
"As for the third sword, Lu was listed on the list by fellow martial artists, but Lu knows that my sword is not as good as those two, and I feel extremely ashamed." Lu Changqing didn't know whether he was being modest or showing off.
But his sword shouldn't be weak.
Xu Mo could feel it.
After all, Xu Mo is qualified to comment on the world's swordsmanship.
"Your sword is not weak, not even worse than Lin Muchen's. Dongling Zhijie is better at the special sword-handling method of Yutian Nine Sword Art. It can be regarded as following the path of magic. Naturally, ordinary warriors cannot compare."
Xu Mo told the truth.
But everyone present was stunned after hearing this.
Rampant, who do you think you are?
He actually commented on the No. 1 Sword and the No. 2 Sword in the World like this.
Of course, this cannot be said, because when the other party praised Lu Changqing, it was equivalent to directly comparing the position of his third sword with that of his second sword.
Lu Changqing smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xu praised me highly."
Neither admitted nor denied.
It is estimated to be very useful.
Xu Mo asked again what the Tianwu League's order to kill evil was about. Lu Changqing was surprised: "Is it possible that Brother Xu was not invited?"
Xu Mo nodded: "No invitation!"
"It doesn't matter. Now that the world is in chaos and the world is suffering, we, the martial arts practitioners, should step forward. The Tianwu Alliance's order to punish evil is to call on all warriors from all over the world to gather together in the Tianwu Alliance to discuss the important matter of punishing evil."
Xu Mo suddenly realized.
It turned out that it was an act of resistance spontaneously organized by martial arts masters.
It's a good idea, but it's of no use.
In Wei Wei's eyes, people who practice martial arts are more delicious food.
