Chapter 451 Gu Xuanchu Family
Chapter 451 Gu Xuanchu Family
Inside the dilapidated temple, there was total silence, with only the glow of charcoal fire emitting light.
Chen Zhen looked at the man in white, holding a folding fan, with a sense of elegance and chivalry.
Having spent the first half of his life in the army and the second half of his life wandering the world, he naturally understood the ways of the world. Although he did not see the person who took action, he knew in his heart that it was Chu Mo who saved them, master and servant.
So he struggled to stand up and said, "Chen Zhen, thank you for your help, young man. I will repay you handsomely someday."
Chu Mo seemed not to have heard him, and asked, "You must have been in the army. I see that your swordsmanship has the shadow of killing enemies in battle formations."
Chen Zhen was immediately shocked, knowing that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person, and immediately said with a trace of respect: "Young man, you are right. When I was young, I spent a few years in the army. Now I am old and I almost died here."
Chu Mo took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and said, "This is some trauma medicine prepared by the doctor. I see that your knife wound is serious, so I'll send you to heal quickly."
As he spoke, he flicked his hand lightly, and the jade bottle flew steadily towards Chen Zhen.
Taking the jade bottle, Chen Zhen gently sniffed the medicine in the bottle, thanked him and began to treat the wound.
Chu Yushan sat on the hay, looking at Chu Mo carefully.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the hole, and with a plop, a heavy object rolled to the ground.
"what"
When Yushan saw that what fell was a human head, she screamed in fright.
Seeing this, Chu Mo explained, "This man is a Gu Master. He originally wanted to command the Gu insects to launch a sneak attack while you and the robbers were fighting fiercely. He was killed by my people and forgot about it just now."
Looking at the two headless corpses in the house was not only horrifying, but also a bit detrimental to his mood, so he said directly: "Six Sword Slaves, dispose of the corpses in the house."
The next second, under the shocked gazes of Chen Zhen and Chu Yushan, six figures slowly walked out of the darkness and said respectfully to Chu Mo: "Six sword slaves obey the order, lord."
Chen Zhen looked at one of them, and suddenly the hairs on his body stood up. A strong murderous intent spread throughout his body, making you feel like you are falling into an icy cave.
"So strong"
Chen Zhen was secretly shocked.
The few of them did not deliberately restrain their aura, and there was a vague murderous intent and sword intent in them. With just one glance, Chen Zhen felt that he had lost the ability to resist.
With the medicine sent by Chu Mo, Chen Zhen's wounds were treated well. In addition, Chu Mo had just saved them, so the two sides became familiar with each other.
It was late at night outside and Chu Mo was chatting with Chen Zhen in the temple.
From the conversation, we learned that Chen Zhen was originally a slave. He was freed from slavery after following his master to the battlefield and making military achievements. Later, he was given the surname Chen by the master and named Chen Zhen.
The bestowal of surnames only occurs in the relationship between master and slave, and only when the slave has done something of great benefit to the family will he be given a surname. This is a great honor for a slave.
Being given a surname by the head of the family also means that one can enter the family tree of the master's family. At the same time, one's descendants will be freed from slavery and become an ordinary disciple of the master's family.
The head of the family that Chen Zhen mentioned was named Chen Lingfeng. He was a general in the army. However, because he was seriously injured in military fighting when he was young, he was left with a difficult-to-cure hidden disease. In addition, he was old, so he retired from the army and returned home to live an idle life.
Later, Chen Lingfeng met a good friend named Chu Nianheng, who is Chu Yushan's father.
The Chu family, to which Chu Nianheng belonged, was originally a well-known family in the local area. The family had considerable assets, and at the same time, three generations of the family had passed the imperial examinations, making their reputation even greater.
Chu Nianheng did not like being an official and did not like the intrigues in the court, so he returned home to inherit the Chu family's business and became the current head of the Chu family.
Because he founded a school in the local area and hired teachers, family members and common people's children could voluntarily go in and study, and he was also a juren, so he was quite famous in the local area.
Chen Lingfeng and Chu Nianheng hit it off at first sight, and after many years of getting along, they also developed a deep friendship.
The reason why I am being targeted today has to do with the death of Chen Lingfeng.
Although Chen Lingfeng was only a Lieutenant General in the army, his cultivation and combat capability were in no way inferior to those of a Lieutenant General. His family-inherited double-gun combat method shined brightly in his hands and he became famous for a while.
He passed away years ago due to a hidden illness. After people in the martial arts world got to know the news, many who wanted to obtain the dual-gun fighting method began to set their sights on it.
Fortunately, Chen Lingfeng knew his own limitations and gave the double-gun fighting method to Chu Nianheng for safekeeping. Although people in the martial arts world did not dare to take action openly due to the influence of the Chu family in the local area.
Therefore, many people can only do some small actions in secret. No matter whether they met robbers or Gu masters in the temple tonight, they all came for the double-gun fighting method.
Unfortunately, Chu Mo was also resting in the temple tonight, otherwise they would have succeeded.
The next morning, Chu Mo stood outside the temple gate and looked into the distance. He could see the rising red sun.
The morning light pierced through the darkness and brought light back to the earth. Birds were singing happily while standing on the branches and eaves.
The air in the wild was very fresh. Chu Mo stood in an open space outside the temple and moved his body according to the Xi family's practice method.
Everything seems exceptionally peaceful and tranquil.
After breakfast, Chu Mo decided to go together at Chen Zhen’s invitation.
According to Chen Zhen, this place is not far from Guxuan Town, Fengming County, and can be reached in two or three hours.
After getting along with each other for a while, Chu Mo found that Chen Zhen was a straightforward, honest and down-to-earth person.
Chu Mo and Chen Zhen were chatting along the way, and Chu Mo was the one asking most of the questions, which were all related to the local area. This gave them a preliminary understanding of Guxuan Town.
Walking on the official road, at the end of the road, a Jiangnan town with green bricks and green tiles and quite artistic conception appears before your eyes.
Although it does not have the grandeur of northern towns, it has a unique beauty.
After following the carriage driven by Chen Zhen into the town, Chu Mo declined the enthusiastic invitation of Chu Yushan and Chen Zhen and chose to separate from them.
Looking at the bluestone roads, the green brick and green tile shops on both sides of the streets, and the people coming and going on the streets, although there is still a lot of noise, Chu Mo can still feel that the people here speak with a little more gentleness, and lack the hearty and heroic spirit of the northerners.
At the same time, street stalls and markets can be seen everywhere on the streets of northern towns, but there are no stalls here, only shops on both sides of the street.
From the various signs hanging outside the shops, you can tell at a glance what items are sold in the shops.
Chu Mo walked on the street, carefully feeling the differences between the south and the north.
Soon, Chu Mo came to a sign called "Tea House". Looking at the two words on the sign and hearing bursts of laughter coming from inside, Chu Mo turned around and walked in.
We walked and chatted all the way, and just entered the city, so naturally we had to have a drink to moisten our throats.
There was laughter and joy in the teahouse, and people who knew each other would joke with each other from time to time.
Chu Mo watched everyone sitting together drinking tea and chatting. Although it was a bit noisy, looking at the various life situations in the teahouse, there was also a certain artistic conception mixed in.
The various emotions of people in various situations of life directly trigger the automatic operation of Chu Mo's internal skills, which turn into rolling spirituality and enter his dantian.
