Chapter 699: Human Head
After experiencing the incident in the Northwest Mountains and going through life and death, Qing Chunhua finally dispelled his doubts and sat down to talk properly.
Li Changxiao asked about Zhang Mo's past. He had no friendship with Qing Chunhua, but he had taken the trouble to rescue her and bring her back to the inn. Naturally, he wanted to ask about Zhang Mo the most. The two had not seen each other since their last separation, and they didn't know when they would meet again. Meeting each other in the mountains and rivers was all up to fate. Although Qing Chunhua was not Zhang Mo himself, his style of doing things, perhaps influenced by Zhang Mo, was somewhat similar to Zhang Mo when they first met.
At this moment, Li Changxiao moved a table and chairs and sat together at the table. He could let down his guard, open his heart and have a good chat.
Qing Chunhua thought to herself: "He saved me twice, and each time he asked about Master's deeds. I'm afraid he can't get the love he wants and is in love with my Master. Well, Master is beautiful and powerful, and all men in the world are attracted to her, so I don't find it strange. But... he doesn't look bad either." She glanced at Li Changxiao and told him everything she knew about Zhang Mo's deeds.
Qing Chunhua has been a disciple for more than ten years. The relationship between the two began with an accident. At that time, the Qing family was in great trouble. Qing Chunhua's father was kidnapped by bandits while on his way to do business. So he sent out a letter to heroes to seek help from all over the world. Zhang Mo happened to pass by here and wrote a letter to heroes.
At that time, the people of the Qing family looked down on her because she was a woman. However, Zhang Mo was not angry. He rushed to the bandits with his sword and flattened the mountain with them.
Even now, the land is still there, and the Qing family worships it as their ancestral land, and they worship it once or twice a year. Zhang Mo rescued the Qing family, and the Qing family wanted to host a banquet. Zhang Mo accepted it generously, but after seeing Qing Chunhua, she saw that this girl was still young, but her bones were extraordinary, and she was a good material for a martial artist. If martial arts wanted to prosper, if they wanted to get out of the bottleneck, it would be impossible for her to do it alone, so she changed her mind and said that the Qing family's hospitality could be waived, and she wanted to take Qing Chunhua as her apprentice.
From then on, Qing Chunhua followed Zhang Mo, learning martial arts from her and teaching her the truth. During this period, Qing Chunhua learned that her master Zhang Mo was obsessed with martial arts, and all the acupoints in her body were opened. The "opening acupoints" of the reform method had actually reached its end. Looking back, no martial artist could see her back.
Therefore, Zhang Mo found another way, he researched and realized his own martial arts, made the acupoints in his body cooperate with each other, and applied them more deeply… He took several steps forward, and he was truly a unique martial artist in the world.
……
During those ten years or so, so many things, big and small, happened that it is hard to describe them all in a short time.
But when talking about Zhang Mo, Qing Chunhua could not hide her admiration. She told Li Changxiao that after she became a master, she had competed with her master. Even if she tried her best, she could not break the golden light that protected her master.
At this point, he could not help but feel disappointed, and said to himself: "Everyone says that I am a genius, but I know that even if I study hard all my life, I am afraid I can't even be one-third as good as my master. Alas."
Qu Xiaochan said: "Miss, I think you are extremely talented. One day, you will impress the master." Liu Ju also nodded.
Li Changxiao said truthfully: "Your talent in martial arts is indeed good, but you should not be compared with Zhang Mo." Qing Chunhua asked: "Why?" She regarded Zhang Mo as her master and role model, and compared herself with Zhang Mo in everything. Although she knew that she could not compare with Zhang Mo, she still had a vague feeling in her heart. When she heard Li Changxiao telling her not to compare with her master, she couldn't help feeling resentful.
Li Chang laughed and said, "Zhang Mo's experience is unique and can't be replicated. She is different from other martial artists." He sighed and said, "She recruited you as her disciples because she wanted to teach you martial arts and promote martial arts. She wanted you to try to break through the bottleneck of martial arts as ordinary martial artists, rather than just imitate her."
Qing Chunhua was shocked, thinking back to her daily interactions with her master, the meaning behind her words seemed to be similar to that of the shopkeeper. She also remembered that before she set out to travel, her master specifically called her to his side and told her to travel the world, first of all, to pay attention to safety, and secondly to see more of the various forms of life, to open her mind, and even said frankly that there are countless heroes in this world, and there is no need to worship one person.
Qing Chunhua reflected deeply, and Li Changxiao nodded secretly. Although Qing Chunhua was arrogant, he still had many good points. He saw this and felt somewhat relieved.
……
The next day.
Qing Chunhua, Qu Xiaochan and Liu Ju started to do the odd jobs in the inn. He treated everyone equally, regardless of whether they were young ladies, maids or servants. They were all assigned clear tasks, such as mopping the floor, wiping the tables and sweeping the windows.
Li Changxiao was not a cruel person, because Qing Chunhua had something to do and could not stay for long. Li Changxiao only wanted the three of them to clean up the inn inside and out, which would be considered as repaying the favor of saving his life. If they wanted to leave, they could leave. If they didn't want to leave, they could stay, but they had to either pay for the room or do hard labor.
When had Qing Chunhua ever done such odd jobs? She moved water and mopped the floor, sweating and covered in dust, but she saw the shopkeeper humming a tune she had heard from somewhere, watering the flowers and playing with the birds. She felt very unbalanced and secretly complained, "This shopkeeper must be someone who can't get the love he wants, so he has a love-hate relationship with Master. After knowing that I am Master's disciple, he deliberately drove me like this so that he could vent his hatred."
She wrung out the cloth in her hand, as if twisting Li Changxiao's neck, but she still had to do the chores at hand seriously and honestly. After all, she had to repay the life-saving grace.
The inn was very large. One day, Liu Ju and Qing Chunhua were cleaning the backyard. They saw that the backyard was covered with weeds and there was a large tree that was withered and dead, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time.
Qing Chunhua asked the shopkeeper, this backyard is so big, if it is cleared, it can store a lot of things, why has it not been taken care of. Li Changxiao paused, looked at the backyard, and said, "People are gone and the trees are dead, what is there to take care of?" Then he concentrated on watering the flowers.
Qing Chunhua rolled up his sleeves and called Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan, thinking: "If I don't do more to save my life, wouldn't it seem that my life is too precious?"
So the master and his two servants worked together to pull out the weeds and tidy up the backyard. This job was extremely tiring, and my waist ached from pulling out the weeds. In addition, the backyard had not been taken care of for many years, and there were insects and animals making their nests, which would scare them from time to time.
After a whole day's work, I finally cleaned up the backyard, except for that dead tree. I didn't know whether to cut it down or not.
After cleaning up inside and outside, Qing Chunhua and the other two were ready to leave. Li Changxiao saw them off to the door and reminded them with a smile, "Don't make the same mistake again." The three of them felt a chill and would never enter the dense forest even if they had to take a detour.
After the three people walked away.
Li Changxiao closed the door of the Laiqu Inn, hung up a wooden sign that read "Closed Today", and walked towards the dense forest in the northwest.
He wanted to verify something, something he had just thought of. With a few strides, he had already reached the dense forest in the northwest. He flipped his hand, and a black pagoda appeared in his palm.
Li Changxiao's mind moved, and a wisp of breath gradually dissipated from the tower. Suddenly, the entire dense forest shook.
Li Changxiao quickly put away the pagoda, and he understood what was going on.
In the ancient world, the Ten Evils are the most powerful and the most terrifying.
There are ten evil pills in the pill tower so far. Li Changxiao just drew the aura of one of the evil pills, which caused countless ferocious beasts in the dense forest to move and bow their heads.
"The strange beasts here are actually related to the Ten Evil 'Human Heads'?" Li Changxiao speculated in his mind, frowning and looking solemn.
The Ten Evils originally had no names. The "human heads" mentioned by Li Changxiao were the names he gave himself based on his inspiration.
