Xu Mo knew from the beginning that the other party was not a good person.
The reason is very simple. Both Genzan-kun and Huai Yuanhui are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, unable to escape from the world. Although they are cannibals, one of them only hunts in the Zao Mountain area. If there is nothing to eat, just eat some.
There are other beasts; one is more of a Buddhist type. They usually pick up some corpses of suicides and dumped corpses and use them as nutrients to suck them. They also kill people, but the number is not large.
But this big crab is causing trouble in the world in a majestic manner.
Isn't it afraid of being so ostentatious and causing trouble?
At this moment, more than twenty lonely ghosts surrounded the big crab and attacked in groups. No matter how fierce the opponent was, they couldn't hold it back. What's more, these lonely ghosts were not good at all.
Some old ghosts have practiced Taoism for hundreds of years.
Seeing that the big crab was defeated, the opponent also roared, and then the hull of the ship shook. The next moment, the wooden ship fell into pieces.
The dream then shattered.
Xu Mo jumped up from the bed and ran straight to the stern of the ship.
The boss of the boat fell to the ground and shook his head, rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth.
Of the two boatmen, one was normal, but he was kneeling on the ground praying to God and worshiping Buddha. The other also fell to the ground and was motionless.
Obviously, the boat boss and the boatman were both suffering from nightmares.
Xu Mo immediately stepped forward to wake him up.
The boss of the boat was fine and woke up, but the other boatman had lost his breath.
dead.
Xu Mo frowned, knowing that it was the big crab who did it. This guy couldn't beat him, so he was just playing dirty tricks.
At this time, the ship's hull shook violently.
It seemed like something was hitting the bottom of the boat.
The boat boss who had just woken up looked frightened and cried, saying that they had offended the river god, and now everyone on the boat would have to be buried with them.
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and begged, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
Bang.
Again.
The ship's hull was shaking violently.
I seemed to hear the sound of wood splitting just now.
I guess if we do it again, a big hole will be dug in the bottom of the boat.
Lin Jiuyuan also ran over at this time, with a horrified look on his face, but she didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Now they are in the middle of the river. If the boat sinks, everyone will have to go down and feed the fish.
Xu Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty.
"Jiuyuan, let me lend you my sword."
Without saying a word, Lin Jiuyuan drew his sword and handed it over.
Xu Mo took it in his hand and immediately walked quickly to the side of the ship, leaning out and looking out.
At night, the river was so dark that nothing could be seen.
But you can be sure that the big crab is in the water below the boat.
Xu Mo squinted for a while, then suddenly threw out the sword in his hand.
The long sword was seen hanging in the air, and in the next second, it suddenly stabbed into the water. The speed was as fast as a martial arts master's full thrust.
The sword entered the water.
The next second, a large bubble rolled out from under the river surface.
Soon, blue liquid emerged from the river and floated on the water.
The river gradually calmed down and the boat was no longer attacked.
"He actually let it run away?"
Xu Mo frowned.
Just now, he used the "Nine Heavenly Sword Techniques" to control the sword with his true energy, intending to kill the demon crab in the river. However, he did not expect that the opponent resisted the beating, took a blow to his vitals, and escaped with injuries.
But according to Xu Mo's estimation, even if this sword cannot kill the opponent, it is enough to destroy the monster's decades of conduct.
In a short period of time, don't think about this thing coming out to harm others again.
He might even be seriously injured and die after returning. That is also possible.
However, Xu Mo patronized the attack and forgot to take his sword back, letting the big crab take it away.
"Jiuyuan, your sword..."
"It's just a sword, nothing worth mentioning. Sir, the one you used just now looks a bit like the one from the Dongling family..."
Xu Mo nodded.
Lin Jiuyuan was knowledgeable and recognized it at a glance.
It's a pity that the Nine Sword Control Techniques are good everywhere, but this distance limit is too confusing. With Xu Mo's internal strength, he can't control the sword if it exceeds ten feet.
Next, everything was calm.
If someone dies on board, it must be a serious matter. After daybreak, the boatman must stop at the shore to report to the officer.
Xu Mo didn't want to cause trouble, so he left with Lin Jiuyuan.
I changed to a small boat and continued down the river, but nothing happened again.
However, Xu Mo knew that this matter should not be over yet.
That big crab has been causing harm to the whole place for many years, but it is still unharmed. Moreover, the big crab itself is average in strength, far inferior to Xuanshan Jun, and even less powerful than Huai Yuanhui.
How can he be so powerful if he can stab the opponent half to death with just one sword strike?
That's the problem.
It means there is someone behind the big crab.
Otherwise, a master of martial arts like Dongling Zhijie would be enough to kill him.
But Xu Mo doesn't plan to take care of it for the time being. If the big crab comes to seek revenge in the future, it can be solved together. If it doesn't come, the matter will be dropped.
The speed of the boat was faster, and after another three days, Xu Mo and Lin Jiuyuan had arrived at the shore of Xiangshui Lake.
“What a great place!”
Xu Mo stood on the bow of the boat, looked at the scenery on the shore, and admired it.
The scenery is good, the climate is good, fishermen can be seen in the distance, the water and grass are luxuriant, and the shadows of fish shuttle among them.
"The fish on the banks of Xiangshui Lake are the fattest. Sir, you are in for a treat this time."
Lin Jiuyuan was also in a good mood.
After all, this is her home.
After sailing for a while, I saw lotus leaves stacked in front of me and a large house on the shore, full of water town characteristics.
"That's my home!"
After getting ashore, Lin Jiuyuan led Xu Mo to knock on the door.
After an old slave opened the door and saw Lin Jiuyuan, he was extremely excited and called the second lady to come back.
The house suddenly became lively.
Xu Mo became a distinguished guest of the Lin family.
When he met Lin Muchen, Xu Mo felt that he was more like an elegant scholar than a martial arts master.
Obviously, Lin Jiuyuan had told her father about the situation along the way and Xu Mo's identity.
"My little girl has been taken care of by Mr. Xu all the way, and Mu Chen is very grateful!"
Lin Muchen was very polite.
One was because of his temperament, and the other was that Lin Jiuyuan told him that Mr. Xu was a close fraternity with Dongling.
Where did Dongling Zhijie put his age and seniority? When Lin Muchen saw it, he could consider himself a junior.
Xu Mo, who was a close brother to Dongling, naturally had to be respectful. What's more, Lin Jiuyuan said that Mr. Xu was an expert in immortality and had saved her life.
"If my little girl goes to Zao Mountain this time, she may be in bad luck. Sir, the Lin family has nothing to repay for your great kindness. If sir, you have anything to ask for, just ask."
Since everyone said so, Xu Mo was not polite.
He still had the same question as asking about Tanglin Zhijie.
Can one achieve immortality if he is extremely skilled in martial arts?
Lin Muchen smiled after hearing this.
"I haven't mastered my skills yet, and I still can't reach the pinnacle of martial arts. If this matter is dealt with in a fair and honest manner, maybe it will be okay."
Xu Mo then informed Dongling Zhijie of the answer.
"Don't you know, Lord Zhijie?"
Lin Muchen stood up and crossed the steps, and then said: "Mr. Xu, I really don't know whether the ultimate martial arts can lead to immortality, but in my humble opinion, even if this path can be achieved, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."
This answer is very pertinent.
"Understood!"
Xu Mo finally had his own answer in his mind.
The road to martial arts is unstoppable.
Dongling Zhijie and Lin Muchen are both top figures in today's martial arts world. Even they are so confused and cannot see the way forward clearly. For Xu Mo, it is no longer an extravagant hope to reach the top of the Immortal Path by this way.
Xu Mo thought that the next step was to explore other immortals, or weird demons, and learn the way from their mouths.
By this time, he and Lin Muchen were chatting very well, like old friends.
When Xu Mo asked about the Lin family's seventeen-year agreement, Lin Muchen was surprised.
"Did Jiuyuan even tell sir about this?"
If you think about it carefully, you will understand.
"Yes, Jiuyuan attaches great importance to this matter, and in a few days, the agreed date will arrive."
Speaking of this, Lin Muchen looked a little sad.
This is so normal.
No one would be happy if the daughter she had worked so hard to raise was to be taken away.
At this time, Lin Muchen said: "Sir, are you a member of the Immortal Path?"
Xu Mo nodded and said yes.
Lin Muchen asked solemnly: "What do you think, sir, of cultivating immortals?"
