Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 58 Qu Heng is imprisoned (seeking follow-up reading)

Linjiang City, Qingping Lane.

It was another sunny day, and Gu Mo was carving wood carvings in the yard. After a period of trial and error, his carving skills had improved by leaps and bounds. Now he could carve kittens and puppies. Although they were not lifelike, they were still pretty decent.

"elder brother,"

Gu Chudong came in from outside, carrying a large bundle, and said, "We've received the last of the bounty. Sister Yan only took 30% according to the rules. We're rich now!"

Gu Mo smiled slightly. In the incident with the Wang family in Yong'an County, he killed the Silver Fox, the Poisonous Spider and the Ghost-faced Grandma.

The bounty on Silver Fox in the yamen was three thousand taels, plus there were nearly three thousand taels in miscellaneous rewards. Although the five thousand taels from the Wang family were lost, it was still close to six thousand taels. The bounty on Poison Spider in the yamen was only three hundred taels, but the other private bounties added up to almost one thousand taels. As for the Ghost-Faced Granny, because she had been declared dead more than ten years ago, the yamen only gave a symbolic bounty of one hundred taels. Accumulated, it was about six thousand taels. After dividing it up, the brother and sister received more than four thousand taels.

However, the expenses are also quite high.

As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. The cost of practicing martial arts is very high. All kinds of precious medicinal herbs are used to strengthen Gu Chudong's muscles and bones. The cost is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

However, it was Gu Chudong who felt sorry for the money, but she couldn't persuade Gu Mo.

Gu Mo didn't care. After all, money was earned to be spent. He didn't have any industry aspirations. All he wanted was to live a carefree life. With the existence of a system, he didn't need to practice hard. He could rest when he needed to, and go find the wanted criminal when he felt he had rested enough.

Although Gu Mo's system is the [Ghostwriter System], he has never thought of turning himself into a numb ghostwriter machine.

If he lacked the ability to protect himself at the beginning, he would be a little anxious, but now, with his martial arts skills, he does not feel that much pressure. He will not give up on being a ghostwriter, but he will not give up on living either.

After returning from Yong'an County,

Gu Mo decided to take a good rest for a while.

It just so happened that during this period, because of the fame of Gu Daxia, Buer Villa entered a period of rapid development and received many commissions. At the same time, many ghostwriters came to him because of his reputation. Yan Sanniang was so busy that she couldn't find a wanted criminal suitable for Gu Mo in a short time.

Gu Mo took this time to have a good rest. Of course, his focus was still on teaching Gu Chudong martial arts.

Gu Chudong has also made great progress. His Xuanxu Heart Technique has reached the eighth level and is about to be perfected. Under Gu Mo's guidance, his Xuanxu Sword Technique has been cultivated to the fifty-third level, and he has barely mastered the Tiyunzong. However, the Finger-Snapping Magic Skill requires too much internal strength, so he has not yet mastered it.

However, in terms of overall strength, Gu Chudong is now much stronger than Gu Mo before he went blind. Moreover, Gu Chudong has been in the martial arts world for many years and has no shortage of practical experience.

Gu Mo was planning to teach Gu Chudong the Hanbing Sutra after she had mastered the Xuanxu Heart Technique. Of course, if she could get a better internal energy technique during this stage, that would be another matter, but if she couldn't, it didn't matter either. Although the Hanbing Sutra was not as good as the Nine Yang Divine Art, it was still a first-rate technique in the martial arts world.

in the yard,
After Gu Chudong put away the last bounty he received today, he went to the yard to practice with a knife.

She squatted in a horse stance and kept drawing and swinging her sword, with a bowl of water on each knee. Gu Mo threw out a piece of firewood from time to time, requiring Gu Chudong to chop it with a knife, and no water could be spilled, and the bowl was not allowed to fall.

This is the 54th move of the Xuanxu Sword Technique, 'Speak of the Sword'.

This journey required an unexpected attack, catching people off guard. It required extreme speed and ruthlessness, not only a swift blade but also an absolutely steady footwork. Therefore, Gu Mo came up with this idea to urge Gu Chudong on.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Gu Mo walked over and opened the door.

There were two people outside the door, a girl of seventeen or eighteen, and a middle-aged woman. They were Qu Heng's daughter Qu Xiao and Qu Heng's wife Qu Li.

When Qu Xiao saw that it was Gu Mo who opened the door, he was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Brother Mo, please save my father!"

Before Gu Mo could speak, Qu Li directly pulled Qu Xiao to kneel on the ground and cried, "Ah Mo, please save your uncle Qu. Auntie kowtows to you..."

Gu Mo recognized the voices of Qu Xiao and Qu Lishi. How could he bear to be kneeled by them? He quickly reached out to support them and said, "Aunt Qu, Sister Xiaoxiao, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Gu Chudong, who heard the noise, also ran over, wiped the sweat off his face, and asked hurriedly, "Auntie, Xiaoxiao, what happened to Uncle Qu?"

"Come in first." Gu Mo greeted.

Qu Li and Qu Xiao followed them into the house. Gu Chudong asked the mother and daughter to sit down and hurried to make tea, but was stopped by Qu Li, who said, "Chudong, don't bother. Let me tell you something first. See if you can help. I... I... I really have no other choice... I..."

As Qu Li spoke, she began to cry. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

Gu Chudong quickly comforted her and said, "Auntie, don't cry, tell me what happened first. Hey, Xiaoxiao, tell me!"

Qu Li is a typical little woman. When she was young, she stayed at her parents' home and never left the house. After marrying Qu Heng, she also took care of the housework honestly and had a weak personality. Qu Xiao was just the opposite. She followed Qu Heng to learn martial arts since she was a child and had a strong and strict personality.

Qu Xiao said, "Brother Gu Mo, in early winter, my father is trapped in Fang County, Qingyang Commandery, and he's seriously injured. He was escorting a group of escorts with the chief escort, Lin Zhenyue. While in Fang County, the escort was robbed. Over eighty of the nearly one hundred escorts died, including the chief escort, Lin Zhenyue. Five of the eight escorts died."

Gu Mo frowned and said nothing.

Qu Xiao continued, "The Six Gates in Qingyang County conducted an urgent investigation and ultimately determined it was an inside job. They arrested the remaining thirteen escorts, including my father. Now, Qingyang County has handed them all over to the Six Gates in Linjiang County."

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "Uncle Qu is not that kind of person. He would never do such a thing."

"I know," Qu Xiao took a deep breath and said, "But when we went to the government office, they wouldn't let us see anyone. I really don't know how we can clear my father's name. The Changfeng Escort Agency is even more vulnerable. Their bail for this escort is two hundred thousand taels. Now the Yang family desperately hopes that the murderer is really my father and his family so that they can recover the lost escort. It's impossible for them to help us overturn the case."

Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "The Yang family father and son are heartless and unreliable. Not to mention that they are in a difficult situation now, even if they can escape, they may not help."

Qu Xiao nodded and said, "Brother Amo, my mother and I don't know what to do now. You know my father. He would never do such a thing as stealing from his employer. I heard that you and Zhuo Qingfeng, the captain of the Six Gates, are close friends. Can you ask Master Zhuo for help? I won't ask for anything else. Just let us meet my father and understand the situation. Brother Amo, please!"
