Chapter 699 Human Head
After experiencing the incident in the Northwest Mountains, Qing Chunhua finally dispelled his doubts and sat down to talk.
Li Changxiao asked about Zhang Mo's past. He had no friendship with Qing Chunhua, but he took the trouble to rescue her and brought 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 in the mountains and rivers depends on fate. Although Qing Chunhua is not Zhang Mo himself, his style of doing things may be influenced by Zhang Mo, and he is vaguely similar to Zhang Mo when they first met.
At this moment, Li Changxiao moved a table and chairs and sat at the same table. He could let down his guard, open his heart, and have a good chat.
Qing Chunhua thought: "He saved me twice, and asked about Master's deeds every time. I'm afraid he couldn't get the love he wanted, and he was in love with my Master. Yes, Master is beautiful and powerful, and all men in the world are attracted to her, so I don't find it strange. But... he is not bad looking." She glanced at Li Changxiao and told him everything she knew about Zhang Mo.
Qing Chunhua had been a disciple for more than ten years, and their relationship as a master and apprentice started from an accident. At that time, the Qing family was in great trouble. Qing Chunhua's father was kidnapped by mountain bandits while he was on his way to do business. So he sent out hero invitations to seek help from heroes all over the world. Zhang Mo happened to pass by here and wrote a hero invitation.
At that time, everyone in the Qing family looked down on her because she was a woman. But Zhang Mo was not angry. She just killed the mountain bandits with a sword and flattened them with people and mountains.
Even now, the land is still there, and the Qing family worships it as their ancestral land, and worships it once or twice every 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 clear and unique, and she was a good material for a martial artist. If martial arts wanted to prosper and get out of the bottleneck, she could never do it alone, so she changed her mind and said that the Qing family's hospitality could be waived, and she wanted to accept Qing Chunhua as her apprentice.
From then on, Qing Chunhua followed Zhang Mo, practiced martial arts with her, and taught her the truth. During this period, Qing Chunhua knew that her master Zhang Mo was obsessed with martial arts, and all the acupoints in his body were opened. The reform of the "opening acupoints" had actually reached the end. Looking back, no martial artist could see her back.
So, Zhang Mo found another way, researched and realized the skills by herself, so that the acupoints in her body could match each other, and use them more deeply... and took a few steps one after another. She was already a unique martial artist in the world.
…
There were so many things that happened during those ten years, and it is hard to describe them all at once.
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.
When she said this, she felt disappointed and said to herself: "Everyone says that I am a genius, but I know that I have worked hard all my life, and I am afraid that 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 your master." Liu Ju also nodded.
Li Changxiao said truthfully: "Your martial arts talent is indeed good, but you should not be compared with Zhang Mo." Qing Chunhua asked: "Why?" She regarded Zhang Mo as her master and a role model. She always compared herself with Zhang Mo in everything. Although she knew that she could not compare with him, she still had a vague feeling in her heart. When she heard Li Changxiao asked her not to compare with her master, she could not help but feel indignant.
Li Changxiao said, "Zhang Mo's experience is unrepeatable. She is different from other warriors." He sighed and said, "She recruited you as disciples, essentially to teach martial arts, to promote martial arts, and to let you try to break through the bottleneck of martial arts as ordinary warriors. Rather than blindly imitating her."
Qing Chunhua was shocked, thinking back to her daily interactions with her master, the meaning behind her master's words seemed to be similar to that of the shopkeeper. She also remembered that before she left for the journey, her master specially called her to his side and asked 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 a certain person.
Qing Chunhua reflected deeply, and Li Changxiao nodded secretly. Although Qing Chunhua was arrogant, she still had many good points. He was also somewhat relieved when he saw this.
...
The next day.
Qing Chunhua, Qu Xiaochan, and Liu Ju started to do miscellaneous labor in the inn. Regardless of whether they were young ladies, maids or servants, he treated them all equally in the inn, mopping the floor, wiping the table, sweeping the windows, with clear division of labor.
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 life-saving grace. If they wanted to leave, they could leave. If they didn't want to leave, they could stay, but they would either pay for the room or do hard labor.
When had Qing Chunhua ever done such odd jobs? She was sweating and covered in dust while carrying water and mopping the floor. However, she saw the shopkeeper humming a tune she had heard from somewhere, watering flowers and teasing birds leisurely. She felt very unbalanced and secretly complained: "This shopkeeper must be unable to 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 to vent his hatred."
She wrung out the cloth towel in her hand, as if twisting Li Changxiao's neck, but even if she complained, she still had to do the odd jobs seriously and honestly. After all, the life-saving grace must be repaid.
The inn was very large. On this day, Liu Ju and Qing Chunhua cleaned the backyard and saw that the backyard was covered with weeds and a large tree 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 cleaned up, it can store a lot of things, why has it not been taken care of. Li Changxiao paused, looked towards the backyard and said, "People are gone and the trees are dead, what's 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 for saving my life, wouldn't it seem that my life is too light?"
So the master and the servant worked together to pull weeds and tidy up the backyard. This job was really tiring, and my waist was sore from pulling. Moreover, the backyard had not been taken care of for many years, and there were insects and animals making nests, and they would be scared from time to time.
After a whole day's work, the backyard was finally cleaned up, but the dead tree was not sure whether to cut it down or not.
After cleaning up inside and outside, Qing Chunhua and the other two should leave. Li Changxiao saw them to the door and reminded them with a smile: "Don't make the same mistake again." The three of them felt a chill, and they would never enter the dense forest even if they had to take a detour.
After the three of them walked away.
Li Changxiao closed the door of the Laiqu Inn, hung up a wooden sign "Closed Today", and headed towards the dense forest in the northwest.
He wanted to verify something, something he had just thought of recently. After a few strides, he had already walked to the northwest forest. He flipped his hand, and a black pagoda appeared in his palm.
Li Changxiao's mind moved, and a breath gradually spread from the pagoda. Suddenly, the whole dense forest shook.
Li Changxiao hurriedly put away the pagoda, and he already understood.
In the prehistoric world, the Ten Evils are the most famous and the most terrifying.
There are ten evil pills in the pill tower. Li Changxiao just attracted the breath of one of the evil pills, which caused countless prehistoric beasts in the dense forest to move and bow their heads.
"The strange beasts here are actually related to the Ten Evils' Human Heads?" Li Changxiao speculated in his heart, frowning and looking solemn.
The Ten Evils had no name. The "Human Heads" in Li Changxiao's mouth was a name he gave himself out of inspiration.
