The road is vague

Chapter 12: People in the Jianghu
After returning to the town, Li Mo came to Jimin Hall. Several senior brothers who were chatting in the front hall looked at Li Mo and each other, not knowing what to say. At this time, Old Feng came over.

"Li Mo, come here."

"Yes."

Li Mo followed Mr. Feng into the room. Mr. Feng looked at Li Mo and said, "We have heard about your story."

Just as Li Mo was about to say something, he was stopped by Mr. Feng.

He said calmly, "You are Zhang Dongliang's disciple. Mr. Zhang and I are close friends, so there are some things I must tell you. We medical students must be well aware of the principles of life and death. It is a matter of life and death. No matter what decision we make, we must first be prudent and protect ourselves. As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Do you understand?"

Li Mo stared at Mr. Feng in a daze.

"Thank you, Mr. Feng. I understand."

"Oh, go ahead."

Over the next month, all villages in Hua'an Town launched a rat extermination and epidemic prevention campaign.

As a result, the plague that lasted for nearly two months was quickly eradicated by the villages in Hua'an Town. Li Mo also participated in this activity. Due to his hands-on attitude, many villagers were grateful to him.

People gradually returned to their normal lives.

Only after dinner would people talk about the inspector riding a giant bird. He wiped out the great evil spirit in Tan River and protected the forty-eight villages on both sides of the river. On the contrary, the villages that believed in the mountain god lived in peace.

However, this month.

However, the brothers in Jimin Hall could vaguely feel the turbulent waves in Li Mo's heart beneath his seemingly calm appearance.

"In my opinion, we should transfer Xiao Mo away from here for a while. I heard that Quhe Town was also hit by the disaster, and it's even worse than ours. Why not let him go to the Jimin Hall in Quhe Town to adjust his mood?"

"He's been here, thinking about his past. Although he doesn't say anything, the depression has become a disease."

"Yes, some people say that he suddenly jumped up while he was hurrying along, or gestured with a branch. I think he probably already... well."

"There's another thing. Mr. Zhao told me that he actually asked others about how to become a cultivator and where to find a disciple. People from a small place like us don't know about immortal mountains and holy places. He doesn't really believe that there is a River God Palace, does he?"

"No! We can't go to Quhe Town now!"

Ding Jie whispered, "Haven't you heard? After the disaster, Quhe Town is full of bandits. It's close to the Eighteen Mountains, and the security there isn't as good as our Hua'an Town. I think we should wait a while before making any decisions."

After October, the weather gradually turns cooler.

this day.

Li Mo, who had just returned from a medical consultation, was practicing leaping, dodging, and swinging left and right while on his way, in order to strengthen his body and maximize the various sword moves of the Sanhe Sword Technique.

He suddenly stopped, stood on the path in the mountains, and looked up at the sky.

It was a gloomy blood-red sunset, revealing an unspeakable taboo and ominousness, like the dark red afterglow of blood spreading across the sky. The depths of the light and darkness in the sky seemed to reveal a terrifying and unsettling atmosphere.

"Is it sunset yet?"

Li Mo then realized that it was the You hour again, or the unlucky time of sunset.

He was about to open the oil-paper umbrella he was carrying, but suddenly he noticed that in the dark depths of the sky, in that heart-pounding darkness, there seemed to be an extremely huge abyss mouth that was about to swallow up the whole world, so that the sky was strangely distorted, as if something was trying to break through the weak restrictions there and enter this world.

Li Mo widened his eyes and stared at the weirdness there.

An incomparably huge, twisted, and hazy strange shadow gradually emerged from the darkness. It was far at the end of the sunset, but it seemed to be bigger than the sun, full of darkness, distortion, sliminess, horror, and despair. It had both a terrifying and huge size in the real sense and a twisted and blurred shadow in the illusory sense. In that hazy black shadow, it seemed to have stretched out countless slimy and twisted tentacles, constantly trying to touch the earth.

It seemed to be looking for something, but couldn't find it. The sky was filled with an oppressive atmosphere that made people anxious, horrified, desperate, insane, and crazy.

Li Mo felt his soul trembling, his body shaking, and his blood almost frozen.

Visible goose bumps appeared on his skin, and his chest was under tremendous pressure, making it seem like even breathing was a luxury.

The air around him was like a dark deep sea, dragging him into the abyss of despair.

The strong mental shock made him want to scream, but he found that he didn't even dare to make a sound. He was afraid that this would attract the attention of the unspeakable giant.

Just when Li Mo felt that he was about to go crazy, he noticed from the corner of his eye that at the end of the distant darkness, there seemed to be the shadows of other giants. The afterglow of the setting sun also gradually disappeared at this moment, and these horrific scenes gradually disappeared into the darkness.

It all seems to be just an illusion.

“It’s not just one.”

Li Mo's body was finally able to move. He gasped for breath and remembered the words of the crazy hunter. A drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down his forehead.

"Are these the horrible things he talked about? They are indeed insane, hopeless, and hopeless."

After Li Mo took a breath for a moment, his eyes gradually returned to their cold calmness.

The fear receded like a tide.

"There really are no so-called gods in this world. Otherwise, why would they allow such things to appear in the sky? Even the river god of Tan River is nothing more than a monster that spreads plague. We can only rely on ourselves for everything."

A month later, it was mid-November.

It was a dark and windy night when Li Mo arrived at the agreed location.

About a quarter of an incense stick of time later, a figure slowly walked over and looked at him.

"Kuangzi?"

Li Mo frowned when he heard this.

"Xiangjia, why is it a woman?"

This was a simple code in the underworld. The other party asked Li Mo if he was an outsider. Li Mo said that he had some martial arts skills and was an expert.

Upon hearing this, the female swordsman in black uttered an enchanting and alluring voice.

"There is no distinction between men and women in the Jianghu, only the living and the dead."

Li Mo took a deep breath and nodded, "I want to kill a few people. Name your price."

“I’m not here for the money.”

Li Mo's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Then what are you doing?"

"you."

"I?"

Li Mo looked puzzled. The woman in black chuckled and said, "Doctors in the Eighteen Mountains are rare. If you are willing to join us, I will give you enough status and respect." "I won't become a bandit."

The woman still chuckled and said, "I won't force you. Since you have practiced martial arts, you have entered the martial arts world. One day you will not be able to bear it here, and then you will come to me on your own initiative."

"Since you don't want money, then go."

The two of them walked quickly towards Shanbei Village together.

The female swordsman walked over and asked, "Why did you kill them?"

There was a hint of fierceness in Li Mo's eyes.

"Because I'm sick, it's a heart disease, and heart disease can only be cured with heart medicine. I need to use their lives as my medicine."

There was no night watchman in the village, so the villagers went to bed early.

Li Mo and the female swordsman came to the original land temple. It was already mid-November, and half a year had passed since Xiao Man's death. He looked at the three brick and tile houses that had taken shape and replaced the land temple, and his heart was broken.

"right here."

The female swordsman nodded and was about to leave when Li Mo stopped her.

"Wait a moment."

The female swordsman turned around, a puzzled look on her face.

Li Mo said calmly, "I may not have explained it clearly just now. I want to do it myself. If I can't do it, you can fill in the gaps. In short, no one can be left alive. They must all die!"

When the female swordsman heard this, a hint of surprise flashed between her brows.

It turns out that he just used it to prevent accidents. What a thoughtful guy he is.

The two men came to the outside of a courtyard, jumped up, and easily landed on the top of the wall. However, before they could take a closer look, they heard a burst of dog barking in the courtyard.

Li Mo instinctively became nervous.

In a hurry, he jumped down quickly, his body was agile and graceful, he rushed forward quickly, raised his sword and swung it down, his movements were smooth and flowing, and the guarding yellow dog died on the spot.

Li Mo stood there breathing heavily, his heart beating wildly, his palms soaked with sweat.

The female swordsman made a gesture of praise on the wall, but her eyes revealed a solemn look. Judging from this person's body movements and sword moves, he didn't look like an unknown guy. What was going on?

However, before she could think about it, she heard a noise coming from inside the house.

This was obviously Zhao Siman's third uncle's family, who were awakened by the barking of dogs outside.

The female swordsman had just descended silently from the top of the wall when she saw Li Mo rushing into the room through the window without any hesitation.

She couldn't help but open her mouth, a serious look appearing between her brows.

Why would such a decisive and ruthless guy need her to finish him off?

"Who is this guy? Didn't the middleman say he was just a traveling doctor who had just come of age and had decent medical skills?"

The female swordsman could almost conclude that this man's martial arts skills had barely reached the second-rate level in the martial arts world, but he just lacked experience in the martial arts world.

But killing a person is not the same as killing a dog.

Once you take that step, you will be infected with evil spirit and from then on you will be a member of the world, with no control over your own destiny.

"who!"

Zhao Siman's third aunt lit the oil lamp and looked at the figure. Her eyes were full of fear, no longer as domineering as usual.

"Xiao Mo?"

Zhao Siman's third uncle's expression looked a little distorted. He leaned against the wall, pretending to be calm.

"It's so late, what's wrong?"

Li Mo acted decisively without any hesitation.

After a brief scream, the room became quiet. Li Mo did not show any fear, panic, confusion or other uncomfortable emotions. He had waited for this moment for too long.

"Hehe, how do you feel?"

The female swordsman asked from behind.

Li Mo wiped the sword gently, his eyes extremely calm.

"There are two more."

When the female swordsman heard this, the smile on her face froze.

Li Mo naturally would not forget that the cause of Zhao Siman's death was not only her third uncle's family, but also her eldest uncle and younger uncle's family. Now these two families have built brick houses on the original land temple. This was at the cost of Xiaoman's life. They all deserved to die!
Li Mo walked out of the room and headed towards Zhao Siman's uncle and fourth uncle's family.

The female swordsman curled her lips. She knew that she had become a complete decoration and followed behind boredly.

There were a few laying hens in the cage, clucking non-stop. Li Mo killed them all and then went to another courtyard.

After the dust settled in the three courtyards, Li Mo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt that every breath of air he took was particularly fresh.

After a long moment, he turned and looked at the female swordsman.

"I don't know your name yet."

"Take it."

Wanted: Wang Ying, the Jade Fox from Anbei City, Muzhou, is proficient in the art of seduction and was once the top prostitute in Yanyufang. Three months after being redeemed by a wealthy businessman from Tongzhou, she murdered 37 of the businessman's family members, and later instigated many constables, martial artists, and bodyguards to become bandits. Her crimes are unforgivable. Anyone who brings her to justice can receive a reward of 200 taels of silver in any county in Muzhou.

"Jade Fox Wang Ying."

Li Mo said in a low voice, "So you want to add a doctor to this wanted list of constables, martial artists, and escorts?"

Wang Ying smiled softly when she heard this.

"Little brother, I will wait for you at the Black Cliff of Eighteen Mountains."

As the female swordsman walked away, Li Mo actually jumped up and climbed to the top of the steep cliff.

He has not been doing nothing in the past few months. In addition to practicing martial arts in his ethereal dreams, he has also accumulated a large number of stones on the cliff to strengthen his martial arts training. It is precisely because of this extreme training that he has made rapid progress in just four or five months.

Rumble!
Large pieces of rocks fell from the sky, completely burying the three courtyards of the Zhao family.
