At this moment, the red sun is in the sky. The shape of the sun is not oval, but a little incomplete. It seems that this should be a solar eclipse.
Li Mo and the four beggars followed two young men with their heads lowered and just walking. About two-quarters of an hour later, they came to a desolate place in the city. There were no bustling markets and no shouts.
There was a sound of hawking, and the people walking on the street were all very thin, and they were wrapped in thick leather jackets, which were cold-proof clothes. Only people with zero cultivation level would wear thick cotton jackets to resist the wind and cold.
The two boys walked very fast, fearing that others would see them, walking as fast as flying on this deserted street.
Where the two boys stopped, there was a mansion. It was said that the mansion was just larger than other places. It had a main entrance and the door was painted with red paint. In this slum, it was a superior mansion.
The waiter didn't knock on the door, just pushed it open and led the five people in.
The courtyard is a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits. It is covered with heavy snow and only a path has been cleared.
Naturally, the five of them, Li Mo, were moved into the last room. Standing at the door was an old man with a kind face. The wrinkles on his face had relaxed, and he felt like he was hanging downward. The beard on his face, along the
The cheeks were down, and he had the air of a country squire.
When the man saw the two boys coming back, a look of joy flashed on his face. He took a few steps out to greet them and said, "Have they been found?"
"Yes, sir, the two of us went to the beggar's area. Although there were many people there, unfortunately there were only five people who voluntarily followed us this time."
The old man was alert in his heart, but his expression showed anxiety, and he quickly said: "Have you been discovered?"
One of the boys replied: "I shouldn't have noticed, otherwise there wouldn't be five people here, but we have to be careful. There are also some very intelligent people in the beggar area. It is possible that they will find some flaws from the clues. Sir, can you still
To speed up, I wonder when you can break through?"
"It's coming soon, it's coming soon. When I am promoted to Ling Xiuling, I will also have a certain say in Fangtian City. Not to mention the small mountains and small mountains, but it is still possible to be rich. In this war-torn era, only strong strength can
It is the foundation for a stable life. I am a spiritual cultivator, and Fangtian City must at least give me a city-protecting general. If you are not willing to work in the city lord's palace, we can also join the sect. By then, a core disciple will not be able to escape, and neither will you two.
Better resources are available.”
"The master's business is our business. The wish of the two of us is to see that the master can be promoted to a spiritual cultivator."
This young man was very good at talking, which made the old man very happy. He patted the two people on the shoulders and said, "Don't worry, you will be rewarded several times if you endure hardships."
The old man walked past the two people and walked to Li Mo and the other five people. He smiled kindly and said, "You are no longer an outsider when you come to the house. Don't be nervous. The rewards I promised you will be paid in full. Don't worry."
A beggar who thought he was good at observing people quickly stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Sir, it's our honor to enjoy the meal. What do you need from us? We can go now."
"No rush, no rush, go eat first, I'll explain the specific matters to you in detail."
When the four beggars heard that they had eaten, they looked happy and said thank you repeatedly.
After the meal, the old man took several people to another room. There were five large wooden barrels in the room filled with steaming hot water.
"You go take a bath first, and then receive the mission. There will be distribution at that time."
These beggars had not seen such hot water for a long time. They took off their clothes one after another, got into the wooden bucket, and started washing comfortably.
"Why don't you go down and wash yourself?"
"Um...I'm not used to taking off my clothes in front of strangers!"
"Haha..." The old man laughed and said, "Okay, I'll go out and you can rest assured that no one will peep on you."
Li Mo didn't answer.
The old man smiled coquettishly and shouted loudly: "Little girl, add hot water to everyone at any time, do you hear me?"
A little girl appeared in Li Mo's sight. She was no longer than Li Mo's waist. Her face was black and purple, and covered with dust. She had two ponytails, and there was snot under her nose and even on her neck.
There is a black circle on both sides, which should be soil.
The little girl was holding a small wooden bucket in her hand, which was full of hot water. She limped to the big wooden bucket, poured the water into the wooden bucket with difficulty, and didn't care if the hot water scalded her body.
He turned around and walked out again carrying the small wooden bucket, probably carrying a bucket of water.
"Yes!" the little girl answered when she walked out of the room.
The old man and the boy all went out.
Li Mo had already noticed the difference, but he still took off his clothes and soaked in the barrel. The reason was naturally that he was not afraid.
The old man and the two boys are both cultivators. The old man is a monk on the twelfth path, and the boy is a monk on the fifth path. They found a few mortals to come here to eat and take a bath. There must be something wrong here.
Telling secrets.
But these are all child's play for Li Mo. He can kill the old man with one finger. No matter how many tricks he has, he can't make a fool of himself in the face of absolute strength.
After undressing and taking off his belt, Li Mo immersed himself in the hot water and closed his eyes.
"What is the taste?"
Li Mo smelled it, and it should be the smell of herbal medicine. This smell was very weak, and if it weren't for his special physique, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
"What is this smell? Do you smell it?" Li Mo asked the other four beggars.
After the four people had eaten, they took another hot bath. Li Mo said something about the smell that dampened their interest.
"If you have a hot bath, just take it easy and be picky. Most of the hot water now is made by melting snow water, so it will naturally have a bit of a smell."
Obviously the beggar and Li Mo had two things in mind.
"Little girl, can you hurry up? My water is almost cold, and I can't even see when I'm working. If you don't hurry up, I'll tell you that I'll fire you."
Several people sat in the barrel and began to scold the little girl.
Hearing the shout, the little girl limped in and poured hot water into the bucket of the person who shouted first.
"Hurry up, hurry up, here's my..."
Hot water was added to the four buckets. The little girl came to Li Mo's bucket and was about to add the hot water.
Li Mo stopped her. Seeing the little girl like this, he felt sour in his heart. He felt sorry for her. This may be the feeling that Twenty-Three brought to him.
"Go, brother, you don't need it, you go down and rest."
Before Li Mo finished speaking, he was interrupted, "He doesn't need me, but he still needs me. Go quickly..."
Some people are like this, pretending to be grandsons in front of others, and pretending to be uncles in front of people who are weaker than themselves, as if they want to get back the shame of pretending to be grandsons.
While soaking in the hot water, the other four beggars fell asleep.
Li Mo, who had his eyes closed, was woken up by someone. When he opened his eyes, it was the little girl.
"Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, it will be too late. That old man is a demon and he will eat human flesh alive." After the little girl finished speaking, she hurried out and stamped her feet as she walked to remind Li Mo.
Li Mo didn't leave, he also pretended to be asleep.
After a while, a rustling sound came, and the old man and two boys came. Li Mo looked at the three people walking towards him without moving.
The two boys walked up to the barrel, with evil smiles on their lips.
He took out a package from his pocket, tore it open and poured it into the water.
When this kind of thing was poured into the water, a golden light immediately appeared. The moment the golden light came into contact with his eyebrows, Li Mo immediately felt an extremely strong aura. The aura revealed death, as if there were countless wails echoing in his mind, especially at this moment.
, under the influence of that golden light, his body was even more out of control, and the invisible meridians were about to be torn out of his body.
Li Mo's eyes condensed, and the vitality in his body circulated, immediately dispelling the breath of death, and at the same time blocking the golden light that was about to penetrate into his body. The golden light left Li Mo's eyebrows, and his eyes revealed a strange look.
of awn.
And that golden light came again, and it would not give up until it entered Li Mo's body.
The three people did not notice the situation on Li Mo's side. The old man was in front, and the two boys were behind. First, they were in front of a wooden barrel, holding the spell with both hands, and then another green light flashed, and they got into the barrel.
.And the two boys used their hands to cast spells to lift the huge wooden barrel from the ground. Under the barrel, a ball of fire appeared. It should be a combat skill.
The strong flames rose, rolled and heated, and began to steam the barrel.
No, it shouldn't be steaming the barrel, it should be steaming people, the mortals inside.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the people inside were actually steamed. Like egg custard, they condensed into one whole piece.
I don't know when a knife appeared in the old man's hand. The knife flashed and he slashed three times horizontally and vertically, splitting the barrel open, and the steamed "soup" inside was also divided into multiple pieces.
"Eat..." After the old man finished speaking, he picked up a piece of "soup" and ate it deliciously. At the same time, there was golden light flowing around his body, and he was running an ancient scripture. The two boys did not dare to eat more, so each of them ate a piece.
He retreated to the back.
After the old man finished eating, they followed the same method, steamed the remaining people in the barrels into "soup", cut them up and ate them.
Finally they came to Li Mo.
At this time, Li Mo was still trying to fight against the golden light because he was still there.
The energy and blood in his body, under the golden light, felt like it was uncontrollable and had to move on its own to resist. "Go!" Li Mo shouted and forced the golden light out, but the golden light rushed at him again.
"No, it must be the water!" Li Mo ignored the embarrassment of not wearing any clothes and rushed out of the barrel. He took out a set of clothes from the storage bag and immediately changed into them.
Li Mo's shout startled the three of them, and they took a dozen steps back to reach the door of the room.
"How could you not be unconscious?" The old man couldn't believe that Li Mo was still conscious.
The golden light came again, trying to penetrate into Li Mo's body. Li Mo kicked the barrel away, and the water in the barrel was scattered all over the sky. The old man and the boy were unable to dodge, and were hit by the barrel.
of water poured on the body.
The golden light also split into four and ran towards the other three people.
