68: Section 68

“I’m leaving!”

Su Mo quickly nodded.

“Go, go. Don’t come back until the rain stops.”

…

Only after seeing Guo Lin off did Su Mo breathe a sigh of relief.

This girl.

She always puts pressure on him.

Turning to go back to the kitchen, Su Mo found that Xu Miaoyin had appeared behind him at some point.

Her pretty face was brimming with smiles.

“She’s gone?”

Su Mo nodded at the question.

“Yes, she’s gone.”

“She seems to care about you a lot?”

“What do you mean ‘care’? She kicked me for no reason a while ago, and the bruise on my leg still hasn’t faded.”

Hearing that Su Mo had been kicked by Guo Lin, Xu Miaoyin quickly bent down, wanting to check Su Mo’s leg.

However, as she bent down, the clothes on her back stretched over her round hips, creating a full, rounded curve that jiggled, looking very elastic.

This scene made Su Mo’s nostrils itch, and his nosebleed almost started again.

His mind began to wander.

If only he could touch it…

“Does it look good?”

Xu Miaoyin looked up and gave Su Mo a glare with her big eyes.

Faced with her sudden question, Su Mo immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

“Hehe.”

Seeing that Su Mo didn’t speak, Xu Miaoyin also lowered her head and continued to examine his leg.

The faint, elusive fragrance made Su Mo’s heart feel a little soft.

Immediately after, Xu Miaoyin rolled up Su Mo’s pant leg.

Seeing the clear bruise on his calf, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.

This Guo Lin.

How could she hit so hard?

“Does it hurt?”

Su Mo shook his head.

“It doesn’t hurt. It should be fine in a little while.”

Xu Miaoyin’s eyes carefully scrutinized Su Mo’s skin.

“The blood clot hasn’t dispersed; it’ll take at least half a month.”

“Let me help you.”

With that, she gently placed her fair, delicate hand on his calf.

Su Mo immediately felt a tingling sensation in his calf, a warm feeling, as if a warm pad had been placed there.

As she removed her hand, the bruised area returned to its original, normal skin tone.

Although he had seen the use of martial arts in simulations before, simulations and reality were two different things after all.

This made Su Mo exclaim how wondrous it was in his heart.

“That’s so magical?”

Xu Miaoyin stood up.

“It’s nothing, just some methods of circulating minor Qi, very useful for promoting blood circulation and dispelling stasis.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Su Mo kicked his leg, only to find that the previous discomfort had disappeared.

“Thank you, Miaoyin!”

“You’re welcome.”

Just as Su Mo was about to say something more, a bloodied figure suddenly appeared outside the door.

The bloodied figure staggered, his face unrecognizable, only that he was bald and wore a blue monk’s robe.

A hole on his head, resembling a beast’s tooth mark, was gushing blood, staining a large part of his monk’s robe, and even the heavy rain couldn’t wash away the blood.

Xu Miaoyin recognized the person’s identity.

“Liao Ming?”

Chapter 76: The Ins and Outs of Black Wind Stronghold, the Appearance of the Green and White Snakes

Seeing that it was Liao Ming from yesterday, Su Mo was also a little surprised. What happened?

How could he be so severely injured!

Seeing Su Mo and Xu Miaoyin.

Liao Ming’s face was filled with sorrow.

“Black Wind Mountain, there’s a bear Demon!”

“My eldest brother and third brother have all died at the hands of that bear Demon!”

“Bear Demon!”

Xu Miaoyin’s face turned pale with fright.

“There really is a Demon on Black Wind Mountain!”

“I didn’t expect the rumors to be true!”

Just then, Liao Ming collapsed with a thud, and the rainwater and blood flowed together on the street.

Seeing this, Su Mo didn’t want to stand by and do nothing.

He immediately dragged Liao Ming’s body into the main hall of the restaurant.

Perhaps the blood had all flowed out, as the blood hole on the monk’s head had stopped bleeding.

Xu Miaoyin clicked her tongue in wonder at the sight.

“A few years ago, I heard that Liao Ming Cultivated a Cultivation Technique called the ‘Nine Lives Cicada Method,’ which allows him to stop and recover from even fatal injuries.”

“Boss Su, this monk should be fine now.”

“I don’t think that Demon dares to enter the city, but this matter has exceeded the control of us Martial Forest individuals and must be resolved by Cultivators.”

“Cultivators?”

Su Mo had previously encountered Cultivators in simulations, but he knew very little about the system of Cultivators.

Only if he simulated the life of a Cultivator could he fully understand it.

Currently, he only had a partial understanding.

“What’s the difference between Cultivators and Martial Forest individuals?”

Hearing Su Mo’s question, Xu Miaoyin shook her head.

“Actually, I’m not very clear either.”

“But I’ve heard a mythical legend that in ancient times, there were many Great Cultivators who possessed many powerful Divine Abilities and magical powers, even capable of instantly moving stars and changing constellations, overturning mountains and seas.”

“Later, these Great Cultivators all went to the heavens, but the Dao traditions they left behind are hidden in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, or on overseas immortal islands.”

“I’m not very clear on the specifics.”

“However, occasionally some Cultivators come out to slay Demons, preventing those Demons from openly harming people.”

Su Mo nodded after hearing this.

Combining his previous experiences and observations in Shang Dynasty, there should be a large unknown blank area between these Dynasties.

This unknown blank area should be where the immortal Cultivators reside.

Otherwise, there’s no way to explain where this group of Cultivators went.

Of course.

All of this is just speculation.

After all, Fahai of Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou is still there, and he even has the Golden Bowl bestowed by Buddha.

The existence of the Golden Bowl indicates the existence of the Western Paradise.

The existence of the Western Paradise also indicates the existence of the Heavenly Court.

In the previous simulation with Madam Huang, he always suspected that he was struck down because a patrolling Heavenly God couldn’t bear to watch.

Just as Su Mo was deep in thought, Liao Ming had already woken up.

At this moment, his face was ashen, without a trace of color.

His first words upon waking were: “Is there anything to eat?”

Seeing that Liao Ming had woken up, Su Mo didn’t hesitate to offer his mutton buns, and in a flash, he brought out several large plates.

Seeing the buns, Liao Ming immediately devoured them, almost eating one in a single bite, like a whirlwind, finishing all the buns in less than a quarter of an hour.

After eating his fill, Liao Ming clasped his hands together and slowly chanted Buddhist prayers.

“Amitabha.”

Xu Miaoyin and Su Mo sat beside Liao Ming.

Su Mo was very curious about what the Hengshan Three Heroes had experienced, so he asked.

“Great Master, what exactly happened?”

“Why did your two sworn brothers die?”

A hint of sorrow appeared in Liao Ming’s eyes, clearly something he had never anticipated had occurred.

Subsequently.

Liao Ming recounted the entire incident.

“Yesterday, after drinking good wine at your restaurant, Boss Su, my three brothers and I were very excited and in high spirits.”

“And fearing that other Jianghu individuals might come to snatch the bounty, we rode our horses overnight to Black Wind Mountain.”

“These mountain bandits are just a bunch of small fries. We originally thought we could easily deal with all of them and get the fifteen hundred taels.”

“But just after we dealt with the mountain bandits, a terrifying scene appeared.”

At this point, a trace of fear appeared on Liao Ming’s face, as if he didn’t want to continue speaking.

“What happened next?”

Su Mo and Xu Miaoyin were both captivated by Liao Ming’s personal experience and quickly asked.

“Later…”

Liao Ming seemed reluctant to recall that painful memory, but after a moment of hesitation, he still spoke.

“Later, a black bear that could speak human words appeared.”

“This black bear was very large and tall; when it stood up, its height was at least over three meters.”

“My three brothers and I have encountered Demons before, but this was the first time we encountered one so fierce.”

“Years ago, my Master once gave me a relic that could deter Demons, but when I took it out, it had no effect at all.”
