Chapter 72 Lu Mo's One Small Step
Lu Mo looked at the flying mother who was gradually going away, and his heart was still uneasy. The beginning of Lianyou's escape from Sin City was the first step of his plan for Lu Mo.

Lu Mo took the auxiliary vehicle driven by Liang Xin into the city, bid farewell to Liang Xin and others who started the installation of large-scale equipment, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion located in the center of Sin City.

If you say that Lianyou's departure is the first step of Lu Mo's trip back home.So Lu Mo is now going to continue to the next step. Although this is a small step, it is of great significance to Lu Mo.Because Lu Mo's small step not only determines the success of his plan.This small step by Lu Mo will even have a great impact on the current situation in Sin City.

Lu Mo came to the City Lord's Mansion and revealed his identity to the adjutant on duty.After a long wait, Lu Mo finally met the city lord.

In the city lord's office, after some courtesy and politeness.Lu Mo took out a dragon crystal, Zhilong's dragon crystal, and placed the dragon crystal on the desk in front of the city lord.In the city lord's office, there were only Lu Mo and the city lord.After the two glanced at the dragon crystal with Baoguang on it, they stared at each other with big eyes.

"City Lord, this dragon crystal...is the dragon crystal of the Zhilong that was killed a few days ago."

After a period of stalemate, Lu Mo broke the deadlock first.Pointing to the Zhilong Dragon Crystal on the table, he spoke to the city lord.

After hearing what Lu Mo said, the city lord picked up the dragon crystal on the table.Bringing Zhilong's dragon crystal closer, the city lord observed it closely.Different from other ordinary dragon crystals, Zhilong's dragon crystal has a layer of brilliance on its surface.The purity of Zhilong dragon crystal is by no means comparable to other dragon crystals.The city lord pinched Zhilong Longjing with two fingers, and observed Lu Mo in front of him through the dragon crystal.

"Why didn't you turn it in at the first time, you send it to me now, what are your plans?"

The city lord put down the dragon crystal in his hand, tapped the table with two fingers, and looked at Lu Mo with interest.

"This...actually, Lianyou, who was in charge of recycling at the time, gave it to me just today."

Lu Mo had already designed the answer, and he put all the responsibility on Lianyou.This was also planned by Lu Mo earlier. After Lianyou left secretly, he needed to draw attention to Lianyou so that Lu Mo could take the next step.

And handing Zhilong Longjing to the city lord was Lu Mo's plan to sell the city lord's favor.Through Uncle Liang's relationship, Lu Mo had already spread the news of obtaining the Zhilong Dragon Crystal to the people from the Pure Land.In the meeting just before the action, Uncle Liang had already told Lu Mo the latest information.After receiving the news, the Pure Land respected Zhilong's Dragon Crystal very much, and will send people to Sin City to investigate in the near future.

Zhilong Longjing's troubles were caused by Lu Mo, so naturally he couldn't just throw the blame on the city lord.After all, Lu Mo's future plan needs the help of the city lord, otherwise how could Lu Mo return to the pure land.Therefore, in order to avoid the enmity between the dragon crystal and the city lord, the wisdom dragon dragon crystal was sent to the city lord at this time, and the timing was just right.

"City Lord, we have neglected this matter, you see..."

"Fight against Zhilong, the enemy is gone, it's normal to be slack, let's forget it this time, it's not an example."

Seeing that the city lord had no intention of blaming him, Lu Mo repeatedly apologized to the city lord.After a polite exchange with the city lord, he took the initiative to bid farewell to the city lord.It's just that when Lu Mo turned to leave, he didn't see the city lord behind him, and there was a playful smile on his face.

Lu Mo left the city lord's office and left the city lord's mansion directly.Lu Mo did not choose to go back to the camp, but walked towards a corner of Sin City.There is the cemetery of Sin City, and Lu Mo came here all the way.In this cemetery, there is not only the tomb where Lu Mo buried Zhao Chen.Next to Zhao Chen's cemetery, Lu Mo also set up a tomb for himself.

Lu Mo walked all the way to Zhao Chen's grave, looking at the metal plate with Zhao Chen's name engraved on it.The sheet metal was dusty and rusted around the edges.

"Zhao Chen, I... I'm going back soon. You tell me the things... I will definitely do well. I will help you send the message you left..."

Lu Mo stood in front of Zhao Chen's tomb, talking to Zhao Chen's tombstone.Assure Zhao Chen's In-Heaven Spirit that he will definitely help him fulfill his last wish.

Lu Mo sat on his graveyard, leaning on his tombstone.One was talking to himself there, as if talking to Zhao Chen beside him.But Lu Mo knew in his heart that he was talking to himself.Lu Mo may think that talking to himself when thinking like Zhu Gui really helps to think.When Lu Mo said enough and tired, he sighed and stood up, ready to leave here.

"Little friend, we meet again. You came to visit your friend, or... yourself."

A figure stood in front of Lu Mo, covered in a gray robe.Lu Mo looked carefully and recognized the old man guarding the tomb.Lu Mo had met him once before and knew his name was Lu Yu.

"Yes, old man... what can I do for you?"

Lu Mo was very wary of the old man for no reason. He really couldn't figure out why the old man knew him so well.

"Haha, don't be so wary of me, it's just that you remind me of another person. There was a person like you before... No, it should be you who built a grave for yourself like him."

After finishing speaking, the old man sighed, turned around and waved to Lu Mo, and walked towards his hut deep in the cemetery.Lu Mo stood there looking at the old man's back, thought for a while, and followed the old man's footsteps to catch up.

The old man took him to the hut, where there were stone tables and benches.The old man signaled Lu Mo to sit casually, and walked into the hut by himself.When the old man came out, he was carrying a teapot and teacup in his hand.The old man poured a cup of tea for Lu Mo, put the teapot on the stone table, turned around and entered the room again.Soon, the old man came out with the chessboard and chess box.

"Little friend, since you know how to drink tea, I don't know if you can play chess."

As the old man said, he put the teapot aside, put down the chessboard in his hand, and handed one of the chess boxes to Lu Mo, while he opened the chess box himself, and made a move first.

"Well... shouldn't I go first?"

Lu Mo looked at the chessboard, the old man's first move, a white chess piece.In Lu Mo's memory, things like Go should be black before white.

"Haha... this old man is getting old, don't be offended." The old man laughed and raised his hand to pour a cup of tea.Picking up the teacup, he took a sip and said to Lu Mo: "Little friend, this chess...is an ancient and elegant entertainment. It has spread far and wide since it was invented, but when it rises again later, even the rules have become other people's rules. of……"

"The old man is very knowledgeable, I admire it very much."

It was the first time Lu Mo had heard of the history told by the old man.For these ancient or ancient things, Lu Mo just dabbled, but didn't understand very deeply.

"I, Lu Yu... just lived a long time. I'm not a knowledgeable person. Come on, little friend, let's play chess."

The old man spoke very modestly, but kept greeting Lu Mo.Lu Mo didn't understand very well, and in order to make the old man happy, Lu Mo just tried his best to cooperate.

Lu Mo only knows a thing or two about these ancient leisure and entertainment methods such as playing chess and tasting tea, which is also due to his strong memory ability and the long-term accumulation of information by the Lu family.As for the old man named Lu Yu, although he spoke very modestly, Lu Mo knew that the old man definitely had this way deeply.Lu Mo even speculated that this old man knew many things, especially those things with a long history.

The result of the game between Lu Mo and the old man must be predictable. Naturally, Lu Mo lost in a complete mess.But also because of this game, Lu Mo learned a lot from the old man.Especially in terms of chess, the old man spared no effort to explain to Lu Mo.I wish I could train Lu Mo to become a master at once, so that he can enjoy the fun of playing chess.

Lu Mo also took the opportunity to play chess with the old man and got the news from the old man.The person the old man mentioned earlier, like Lu Mo, built his own grave.The old man pointed out to Lu Mo where the tombstone was. After bidding farewell to the old man, Lu Mo immediately ran to check it.And the name engraved on the tombstone of this person who did the same thing as Lu Mo surprised Lu Mo even more.

"Yiming... I really didn't expect that."

Lu Mo looked at the rusty tombstone and carefully discerned the writing on the tombstone.Regarding the name that appeared in the city lord's notes, Lu Mo had a lot of guesses for a while.

From the contents of the city lord's notes and the almost identical behavior to Lu Mo, Lu Mo has great reasons to believe that this "Yi Ming" is likely to be the city lord.However, for Lu Mo's conjecture, Lu Mo did not have any substantive evidence to prove it.

Regarding the unexpected discovery in this cemetery, Lu Mo did not waste too much time and energy.For Lu Mo now, a big event is about to happen.He needs to deal with it properly and achieve his goals through correct actions.

The people sent by Pure Land to investigate Zhilong Longjing will soon arrive at Sin City.
