[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Daoist Mo's Whisk

Gong Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, doubting what the little apprentice said.

Although, he felt that it was impossible for the little apprentice to lie. After all, everyone in the fur shop could prove whether Li Hu was a different person. It was meaningless for him to tell such a lie.

But, if the little apprentice really didn't lie, then who is this strange person lying on the bed who looks exactly like Li Hu?

Or, in fact, this is Li Hu, but because of some unknowable reason, he became what he is now?

While thinking, Mo Qi got up suddenly, walked to the corner of the thatched cottage, and reached out to pick a pile of straw piled up in the corner.

"Ahhh-"

Suddenly a small figure popped out of the straw pile, holding a small silver knife in his hand and randomly stabbing at Mo Qi, who was pushing the straw away. While wielding the knife, he screamed piercingly in a frightened childish voice. .

Mo Qi did not retreat but advanced, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the child's wrist holding the knife, with a slight force, the child's mouth went numb, and he let go of the knife by mistake.

Gong Jiu, who was just blocked by Mo Qi's figure, twitched his eyebrows.

Is it because he is afraid that he will hit him with a palm like the killer who dealt with Ming Hall before, so he deliberately took this step to block him?

This is probably the reason.Gong Jiu pinched the folding fan unconsciously, thinking angrily.

The child had been hiding in the straw pile for so long, and his spirit was extremely nervous. Just now when the knife attack failed, his whole body went limp, his pupils dilated with fear: "Don't hit me... woo woo, don't kill me, I'm not a monster, woo woo woo..."

He fell limply in Mo Qi's arms, grabbed the clothes on Mo Qi's chest as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and buried his head in the arms of the person he wanted to attack just now, tears almost immediately, It just soaked the chest of Mo Qi's Taoist robe.

This man in black smells so good.The child was thinking wildly, curled up and waited for the fate of being picked up and thrown to the ground the next moment.

It is like the ice edge slowly melting under the winter sun, clear and cold, but still has a warm breath of the sun.

Mo Qi was buried tightly by the child, and his whole body froze in place: "..."

Gong Jiu, who was watching all this boredly, suddenly received Mo Qi's hopeful eyes for help.

Mo Qi's jaw was tense, and his always restrained expression showed a bit of the same tension as a child's.

When Mo Qi saved Tang Yuandao, Tang Yuandao's tears were already dried up because of his light work all the way.Afterwards, Tang Yuandao never cried again, he jumped around like a little bean every day, happily, at most, he would shed tears of pain when he recited the formula...

But at that time, Mo Qi just pretended not to see it and let him continue to recite it.Tang Yuandao will soon wipe away his tears, and start to fight fiercely with books and formulas.

Generally speaking, Mo Qi did not learn any experience in coaxing children from his little apprentice.

Tang Yuandao was actually much more mature and stronger than ordinary children. When Mo Qi and Tang Yuandao got along, there wasn't much to worry about.

Gong Jiu's body, which was leaning against the door, stood up straight.But he didn't move anymore, and he didn't intend to help, but he suddenly became energetic and looked at Mo Qi's embarrassment with great interest.

He also added fuel to the fire and urged: "Why did you make the child cry? Coax?"

Mo Qi: "..."

The little guy buried in his arms trembled for a while, probably because he was sensitive to the fact that the man in black who was pulling his clothes was as nervous as himself, so he raised his head and gave Mo Qi a cautious look.

The child thought he had sneaked a peek at Mo Qi again.

He raised his head from Mo Qi's embrace a little hesitantly, like a little chick poking his head out of the nest: "Aren't you going to hit me?"

Mo Qi: "Why should I hit you?"

Mo Qi's voice is always deep and steady, just listening to it makes people feel very reliable and safe.

The child looked at Mo Qi warily for a while, then wiped away his tears, and got up from Mo Qi's warm and wide arms on the same ground: "Because I am a monster."

Mo Qi's nerves are still in the tense state of the child holding him and crying, so that he can't think independently.After hearing what the child said, he subconsciously looked at the child's head. There was neither an extra eye nor an extra ear.He stared blankly behind the child again, there was no tail growing on his buttocks.

Mo Qi's brain that stopped thinking was at a loss: "..."

Gong Jiu was about to really laugh out loud.

Seeing Mo Qi's rare sluggish and stiff appearance, the corner of his mouth couldn't help breaking the straight line of the tablet, drawing a small dimple.

Gong Jiu kindly asked the child for Mo Qi: "You said you are a monster, what do you mean?"

The child's clean eyes widened, his little hands grabbed his belt and belt, and snapped, "Because I'm a stranger!"

A pair of undulating arcs of Mo Qi suddenly came into the front, and his breathing almost stopped suddenly. He stood up suddenly as if he was electrocuted, and quickly turned his back.

The child was angry: "I'm a boy, why are you turning around?! Do you look down on me?! Do you think I look weird!"

Mo Qi, who was accused of serially, became even more rigid: "..."

It is not right for him to turn back, nor is it right not to turn back.

Gong Jiu really couldn't hold back his smile, he pressed the fan against his mouth so hard that the lips pressed by the tip of the fan turned a little white, and he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth that rose uncontrollably.The sharpness and sharpness on that cold and inorganic face were instantly softened by the smile that leaked from this point, and all the hard lines were softened, and even the pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with a cluster of beautiful flowers.

Gong Jiu coughed: "How can a man expose his breasts in public, it's indecent." He borrowed all the words that Mo Qi knew, obviously trying to save Mo Qi from a siege, but inexplicably A kind of teasing meaning, "Put on your clothes, otherwise, I will call someone to arrest you! If you do such an immoral thing in broad daylight, if a woman passes by, it will not ruin her innocent reputation, and you should be beaten!"

The child looked serious, thought about it seriously, and nodded in agreement, and said while gathering his clothes, "That's right, you can't hurt the reputation of the girl's family."

The little apprentice was already stunned, his mind blank.It wasn't until the child put on his clothes that he realized what it was that was hiding in the straw pile: "You, you are a stranger, you are a monster!" The little apprentice rushed forward to grab the child, angry He said, "Did you kill Brother Li Hu? Where did you hide Brother Li Hu!!"

Gong Jiu was in a happy mood for a moment, and was instantly dissipated by the blow of the young tailor apprentice.

He grabbed the little apprentice with one hand and almost scratched the little apprentice's shoulder. He spoke with a smile, but said coldly: "You'd better calm down."

The ruthless murderous aura instantly enveloped the little apprentice, instantly cooling down the little apprentice's anger and passion.

Mo Qi frowned, but didn't say anything. He turned around and said to the little frightened child, "You've been hiding here? What's your relationship with Li Hu?"

The child swallowed, but stepped forward and grabbed Mo Qi's robe to gain a sense of security: "I... I am his adoptive son. When I was beaten to death before, I was the adoptive father. Saved me. After he rescued me, he said he would adopt me, and he would help me find a way to turn me back into an ordinary person..." He said this, and began to drop golden beans, "I, I I have been here with my adoptive father, avoiding everyone, thinking that as long as I don’t appear in front of everyone, I will be fine...but just last night..."

"Last night, when the adoptive father came back, he was very abnormal, his face was pale, and his expression was very scary, and he was tightly wrapped in clothes." The child recalled while crying, "I asked him what was wrong, and he called me Pack up quickly and run with him quickly..."

The child choked up for a moment: "I didn't ask him why, and I didn't dare to ask, I just thought that those bad guys who knew I was a stranger came and wanted to arrest me, so I packed up my things with my adoptive father and prepared to spend the night. escape."

"But we were halfway through packing, and around midnight, a group of men in black suddenly broke into our house, strangled Erhuang to death, and killed my adoptive father... I thought I was going to die, but When they were about to kill me, the only one among them who was dressed in white suddenly went mad..."

The child trembled: "It's scary! His hair turned white as soon as he brushed it, just like the ghost in a short story book, his eyes are blood red, and there are blue and black bloodshots on his face! It's almost like A ghost crawling out of the grave! He frantically beat all the fellows in black and went away."

Speaking of this, the child recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't cry anymore. He wiped his nose and tears with his sleeve, and his expression was a little confused: "Those guys in black seem to have to listen to the guy in white, and the one who was beaten was seriously injured. Well, the people who saw the white clothes left, they still had to get up and follow them... I, I slipped out before, and they couldn't kill me..."

The child sniffed again sadly, and the tears began to brew again: "I don't know where to go, it's so dark, so I hid back again, and I've been hiding in this haystack..."

Gong Jiu: "..."

How can you kill someone and bring internal strife? What is going on with this group of people?

What's the matter with the guy in the white clothes, is he still crazy?It sounds crazy, ah, so ruthless that he even beats his own people!

Such a person can be a leader, this group of people, no.

Gong Jiu looked suspiciously at the child whose face was smeared by himself, and felt that the ins and outs of this matter were simply unimaginable.

Mo Qi pondered for a moment, then asked Gong Jiu: "What is the tip you said you knew earlier?"

It must have something to do with Li Hu, otherwise Gong Jiu would not have been so devious, insisting on finding such a little-known Orion.

Gong Jiu: "My subordinates found out that this Li Hu had sent urns to some strangers' families in Hexi. These families knew that their children or family members were different from ordinary people, but they still accepted it. In their After the family disappeared, they all looked for it, and even went to the mansion many times to claim the stranger. Li Hu probably learned about it because of this."

Mo Qi stood up and looked around the simple thatched cottage: "No matter how he found out, since he can send back the ashes of those dead aliens, he must know that the corpses of those aliens who have not been found are in the Where. He may not be sure, he was hunted down because of this."

Mo Qi looked at the little tailor apprentice who opened his mouth blankly: "Please send this child to the magistrate's office and give it to Mr. Mei to deal with. Please ask Mr. Mei to find him a good family who can accept him... If it is not possible, They can also be raised in the poor sheds in Hexi Prefecture."

The little apprentice was talked to by Mo Qi, and confirmed that what happened in front of him was not his hallucination, swallowed, got up from the ground, glanced at his child with wide eyes, and carefully confirmed: "The poor shelter? Our poor shelter in Hexi can't even provide food—"

"It doesn't matter." Mo Qi lowered his tone gently, and comforted the child beside him who started to pinch his hands anxiously, "I have already contracted the future supply of silver and materials for the Hexi poverty-relief shed, and I think the poverty-relief shed will soon restore its original It worked."

Gong Jiu couldn't help but look sideways.

This is being taken advantage of... How can I donate wherever I go? Is it because I want to raise the whole Da Song with my own efforts?

Gong Jiu remembered the roster where Mo Qi donated all the silver in the end, and kept silent with a complicated expression.

...Maybe it is true.

The one in Bianjing, with such a big head, I am afraid that he has gone crazy with joy.

The little apprentice didn't know where Mo Qi went to donate there, so his reaction was normal.It's just that rich people occasionally donate a lot of kindness. It's rare, but it's not unheard of.

He glanced at the corpse lying on the bed again, and hesitated for a moment: "Then—the strange person on the bed—?"

Gong Jiu glanced at the little apprentice: "Also tell Master Mei to bring someone to take a look, and bring the body back by the way. Let your shopkeeper come and identify—"

The little apprentice said stubbornly: "You don't need to admit it, this is not our Li Hu brother! This is transformed by a different person!"

Gong Jiu didn't speak, and gave the little apprentice a cold look.

Mo Qi: "An alien is just an ordinary person who is born with a different body shape than ordinary people. He is not a mountain monster. How could he 'become' like Li Hu." He reached out and touched the cheek of Li Hu's corpse, "It is also There are no traces of disguise, let your shopkeepers come and take a look."

Mo Qi raised his tone a little bit, not giving the little apprentice any room to comment: "You send the child back first."

The little apprentice didn't dare to refute anymore, so he shut up obediently and left with the child.In the thatched cottage, only Mo Qi and Gong Jiu were left.

Gong Jiu raised her eyebrows: "What things can't be taken out until the people are gone?"

Mo Qi walked to the wooden door that was kicked down by him, stretched out his hand to support the wooden door, and tore open the gap on the door panel that was covered with straw.

From the gap in the door panel, a ball of paper fell out.

Gong Jiu walked up to Mo Qi and watched him unfold the drawing, a little surprised: "How do you know there will be something in this gap..."

Mo Qi carefully looked at the map, and casually said, "I've hidden things like this before..." Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized what he had just said, stopped his mouth immediately, and changed the subject bluntly, "Look This map seems to be the distribution map of animals in the mountains drawn by Li Hu."

Gong Jiu glanced at Mo Qi with a tolerant gaze, and firmly remembered Mo Qi's slip of the tongue. He was going to talk about it after adjournment. He went a step further and looked at the map in Mo Qi's hand: "It's no wonder that he is the best in Hexi with so much care." Orion... um? What is this?"

Gong Jiu suddenly noticed several strange ink dots.

The dot of ink looks ordinary, but its position is extremely weird, and I can't understand what it means.

"It looks like a mark." Mo Qi touched the ink dots, "This one is on the edge of the cliff, and the others are in the dense forest..."

A flash of light flashed in Gong Jiu's mind: "Could this be the place where Li Hu found the dead body of the alien!"

·

·

Probably no one has calculated how many corpses can be buried under a cliff; no one has calculated how many innocent souls can be hung in a dense forest.

Mo Qi and Gong Jiu went through several dense forests marked by Li Hu, and saw at least hundreds of corpses, both male and female, all killed with one blow.

Blood soaked the barren land.

Little by little, the tombs that Li Hu built for these innocent souls are also covered with this bright red land.

Looking at the desolate tombs everywhere, Mo Qi felt extremely depressed.

His eyes were dimmed for a long time, and the words engraved on each tombstone echoed back and forth in his heart: May you not enter the world and suffer from the world in the next life.

The last corpse hiding place is a high cliff very close to Xixia, and ordinary people cannot climb it.Along the way, Mo Qi and Gong Jiu could still see the nails that Li Hu had laid to climb the cliff.

The two stepped on the road paved by Li Hu, turned over and jumped to the top of the cliff, standing on the edge of a very high cliff, facing the wind.

Gong Jiu looked at the bare cliff, which didn't look like any prey would come here, wondering: "What is he doing here?"

From the middle of the cliff up, there is no vegetation to be seen, only bare stones.But looking down, you can see the dense forest surrounding the cliff, and the corpse that you want to bury here is in the dense forest under the cliff.

Mo Qi silently pointed to the opposite side of the cliff.

This place has already crossed the Xiliang River, and happened to be stuck on the national border between the Song Dynasty and Xixia.Gong Jiu looked in the direction Mo Qi pointed, and could see the battle flags hunting on the grassland, as well as the huge Xixia army.

Mo Qi whispered: "Li Yuanhao never gave up on the Hexi Corridor."

Gong Jiu looked coldly at the Xixia army who were galloping and practicing on the grassland: "It's a pity that if Pang Tong does not die, they will not be able to cross the Xiliang River."

The reason why Li Yuanhao and the Hexi garrison of Xiliang River have been biting each other for so many years, but they dare not directly raise their troops, is not because of how powerful the Hexi garrison is.

What he was afraid of was that Pang Tong would come after the Hexi defenders were overthrown.

Even at this time, Pang Tong, who had already withdrawn from the army, had already returned to Beijing to serve his old man Pang Taishi in his old age, Li Yuanhao still did not dare to act rashly.

After all, Pang Tong only returned to Beijing to honor his parents, not his ancestors.How long will it take for Pang Tong's Pang family army to go from the capital to kill Hexi?Anyway, it is not enough for Li Yuanhao to conquer the entire Northwest of Song Dynasty.But it was enough for Pang Tong to mobilize his troops and plot thousands of opportunities to kill the capital of Xixia.

In her heart, Gong Jiu laughed at Li Yuanhao who was always overwhelmed by Pang Tong, and turned around: "We have to go down and see—"

"Boom-boom--"

Deafening explosions suddenly came from the mountainside continuously.

Gong Jiu's complexion changed drastically: "There is fire and medicine!"

He didn't even have time to find something to fix his body on the top of the cliff, and the entire giant cliff exploded from the mountainside.

The earth is cracked and boulders are rolled down.

In the nick of time, the figure that Dao Gong Jiu was looking at instinctively flew over.

The wide and soft Taoist robe wrapped around his waist, pulling Gong Jiu into Mo Qi's arms again.

Just like the day they first met, like the day in the Yumen Desert.

Mo Qi concentrated his energy and borrowed strength from the falling and rolling boulder tip.

However, the speed of the boulders falling from the mountain was much faster than the two light and fluffy people, and Mo Qi soon had no place to stand to rely on, and at this time, they were still half a cliff away from the dense forest at the foot of the cliff. .

A gentle force suddenly supported Gong Jiu's waist, and let out a slight palm wind.

Gong Jiu flew upside down, with a pain in his waist, and was hanging on a pine and cypress halfway up the cliff.

As for the person who lifted him up, he fell straight down to the bottom of the cliff at a faster speed than he fell.
