Chapter 1111: Not Allowed to Take It
Chapter 1111: Not Allowed to Take It
Gui Zihan took the sword manual from the butler and said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Mo. Master said that if Mr. Mo feels it is okay, we welcome you to return to Dashun to live. We can provide you with the same benefits as you did in Wei Yazhou."
Mr. Mo smiled and shook his head and said, "When my master taught me my skills, he made me swear an oath that I would never hurt anyone from Donglu in my lifetime.
But I think it’s hard to do this in East Land, so I just moved here and have lived here for so many years. I think this place is suitable for me. If I go somewhere else, I may not have this mood. "
He pointed out the window and said, "Do you see that house?"
Chen Chuan and Gui Zihan looked over and saw a manor through the window. The architectural layout was very unique and it looked like a Zen temple.
"The man next door was once a general of the Chu Dynasty. After the Chu Dynasty collapsed, he went into the mountains to become a Zen monk. Two hundred years later, he returned to the secular world, but this time he came out when the world was still in chaos.
He felt that he couldn't find a safe place in Donglu, so he finally hid here with me. Now he has a safe place, his mind is settled, and his body has stabilized. If he were to go back, he might have turned into a demon."
Gui Zihan asked in confusion: "Will the Federation no longer be in chaos?"
Mr. Mo said, "It depends on how you look at it. As long as he can't see it, isn't that enough? If he can't hear or see it, then it doesn't exist. The people in this land are not Dashun people, so what does their life or death have to do with him?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "It is not easy to maintain a state of mind. Only a few people can do it."
Alienation mainly comes from mental infection. The stronger the strength, the more the mind contacts the other side, and the more infected it is. Fighters are people who are eager to improve, otherwise they can't become fighters. They usually find it difficult to resist going to the other side to seek something.
This is almost their lifelong pursuit and motivation, so even though they know the ending may not be so good, there are still many people who go to the other side.
Mr. Mo said: "I was able to keep my mind calm because I was gifted and I happened to be in a good time. I leaned against a big tree and had no shortage of things for cultivation. I just practiced casually and achieved what I have today.
Perhaps because it came so easily, I don’t have so many desires and distractions, let alone any desire to make progress, so my mind is as clear as a mirror, but the person above us is not like this.”
He pointed his mouth towards the mountain and said, "That person has too many distracting thoughts, so he has to use drugs and other things to alleviate the alienation. But once you use these things, it is impossible to stop. The more you use them, the more you become dependent on them. There is no way you can resolve them by yourself."
Chen Chuan glanced at the place Mr. Mo pointed to. It was an independent hill where the person he wanted to visit lived.
Mr. Mo must have seen where I wanted to go, so he intentionally gave me a hint.
He asked, "I am about to visit that person. I wonder how much does Senior Mo know about him?"
Mr. Mo said: "Every year, someone from Dashun goes there to visit, but I heard that his conditions are getting higher and higher every year.
Hey, if he had rejected it outright, that would have been a problem, but he is just leaving the door open, willing to talk, but won't let you in. I'll see when Dashun's patience runs out and I'll take ruthless action against him."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Does the senior have any suggestions?"
"Suggestions? My suggestion is don't treat him well, just deal with him."
Mr. Mo spoke faster, mixing in some of the ancient language used in Donglu hundreds of years ago, but the two of them could understand what he meant.
Gui Zihan asked: "Did the senior have any conflicts with him?"
Mr. Mo complained, "Who here doesn't have a conflict with him?" He picked up the drink on the table and gulped down a few big gulps.
"Back in the Dashun era, he was not a good person. A Xuanji warrior ran away to become a robber, and wandered around with his gang. Later, he was surrounded by the government and had no choice but to go to the sea to become a pirate. He mixed with the Yono people and kept plundering the coastal areas. Have you heard of the Sea Ghost King?"
Chen Chuanshuo: "I've heard of it. It's said to be a sea demon that eats people along the coast."
Mr. Mo slapped his knees and said, "That's him! The legendary Sea Ghost King was originally a ghost who punished evil and promoted good. But later, he did this and ruined the reputation of the ghost god, turning him into an out-and-out evil ghost in the sea.
If it were two hundred years ago," he raised his hand, "I might have been able to subdue demons and monsters. But now..."
As he spoke, he lay back down. The woman came up to rub his head at the right time. "I don't have that kind of ambition. I'll just eat and wait for death. Well, as long as I don't mutate, I can still live for a few hundred years, right? Who knows, maybe a big crash will happen one day."
Chen Chuan understood what he meant, and he said, "Thank you for your hospitality, senior. We should leave now."
"We're leaving now."
Mr. Mo raised his head and said, "Let me give you a piece of advice. The sea devils can always be dealt with. The ones you have to be careful of are the federals."
Chen Chuan took it in and said seriously, "Thank you for the reminder, senior."
He and Gui Zihan said goodbye and got on the rail car, heading up the hill. Ten minutes later, they stopped at the end of the track.
There is a beautifully built mountain pavilion here, and some tourists of all ages are visiting here. The most eye-catching thing here is a tall stone tablet, which has a very obvious Dashun style. Gui Zihan took a look from a distance and saw that most of the words on it had weathered, and only a few large characters could be barely recognized. The larger ones were the two characters "Lingnan", and the smaller characters below were vaguely "The First Year of Shaotong" and so on.
He thought about it, Shaotong was the reign title of the prosperous dynasty in ancient times, and immediately realized, "Director Chen, this is an ancient boundary monument of Lingnan Road."
Chen Chuan nodded. The person he was looking for was originally from Lingnan Road. If he was right, this stone tablet should have been brought by him, or taken away when he plundered Lingnan Road.
He said, "When we go back later, we can take this back with us."
As he spoke, he looked up and walked up the stone steps in front of him.
There were no people here, only the two of them. Because the tourists who came here knew very well that they were allowed to enter only places with tracks, and they should not walk around without tracks. After all, it was hard to tell what kind of temper the fighters who lived here had.
After walking for five or six minutes, they arrived at the top of the hill and saw a lush green bamboo forest in front of them.
The bamboos are unusually thick and lush, with each one growing as thick as a temple pillar. The edges of the leaves are unusually sharp, like blades. This must be a bamboo forest that has undergone special cultivation.
When Gui Zihan passed by a bamboo, he knocked on it with his hand, and the bamboo made a metallic clanging sound. He said with certainty, "It is the alienated iron bamboo from the fusion land."
Chen Chuan nodded. In the past, this thing could be used as a weapon. Even now... it might not be impossible.
He looked ahead and could feel a burning and violent force there, so he said to Gui Zihan, "Team Leader Gui, I'm going to meet someone, you stay here first."
Gui Zihan nodded.
Chen Chuan walked deeper into the bamboo forest, about half a mile in.
Then I saw a man sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was about two meters tall and had a very sturdy physique. His hair was like weeds, long and messy, covering the upper half of his face. He was wearing a grayish-white close-fitting cloth garment and had a huge, old-fashioned ring-handled sword in his hand.
The residence behind him was just a crudely assembled bamboo house.
This person's residence seemed to be simpler than any he had seen before, but in fact, according to the information he had obtained, this person would have attacks from time to time, so any normal residence would be destroyed by them, so there was no need to rebuild one.
He came to within thirty meters of the man and stopped, saying, "Your Excellency should know the purpose of my visit. This time, the Dashun government has entrusted me to take back the item in your hands."
The man raised his head, smiled solemnly, and said, "Don't make it sound so nice to keep it. I stole the things in the first place. Whether you can get them back depends on what price you can pay."
Chen Chuan nodded. This person had said this to everyone who came before, but in the end, they all failed to reach an agreement. So he was not going to waste his breath this time and planned to use a simple method.
"I brought something this time."
He swung the suitcase he was holding forward and threw it directly in front of him. When he got there, the lid of the suitcase opened with a click, and Cui Xuanhui's stone statue head rolled out from it and rolled to the other party's feet.
He looked at the other party and said, "I wonder if you are satisfied with this, Your Excellency?"
The man's gaze seemed to be fixed on the head. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and looked at Chen Chuan, then he let out a low laugh.
"I hope the people sent by Donglu are qualified."
He stood up slowly, and when he straightened his body, he looked to be about four meters tall. He then reached out for the ring-handled sword at hand, and with a swing, he chopped off the head of the statue in front of him, and it broke into pieces.
He looked at Chen Chuan in front of him and said, "That thing is right here with me. If you have the ability, come and take it."
As he finished speaking, a green spiritual fire rose from his body. This light was surging and hot, enveloping him entirely. An invisible air wave spread outwards, and the entire bamboo forest seemed to be blown up. Looking from above, it formed layered waves like the sea.
At this moment, inside the White Rock Long Beach Building, Ryan Cavdi stood in front of the field screen and looked at the two of them.
Just at this moment, he saw the man suddenly raised his head and looked upwards, and then the whole scene seemed to be disturbed by something, becoming blurred and intermittent.
He called out, "Allura? What's going on?"
The white-haired woman appeared beside him. She said in a soft and ethereal voice, "Energy interference from the lost objects has been detected. Stability will be restored within three minutes."
Ryan looked at the screen, "Three minutes..."
