Chapter 843: It is normal for Jixia students to know some Taoist techniques in addition to Confucian knowledge.
After arriving at the pharmacy, the two bought a large pile of medicinal materials, the weight of which was calculated by [jin], and asked the pharmacy staff to deliver them to the inn.
After returning to the inn, Mo Cheng looked at the absent-minded Shen Xueqi. After thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of going out to find a mission.
He was a little worried that if he went out, he might not find the mission, and something happened to Shen Xueqi, causing the mission to fail, which would be very sad.
Although Mo Cheng could see that something was wrong with Shen Xueqi's condition, and could guess that it was probably caused by the fortune teller's words, he didn't know how to solve this problem.
"Do you know that the fate of Gu Chen Jie Sha will hurt the people around him?"
Shen Xueqi spoke out of the blue, and it took Mo Cheng a while to realize that the girl, who was looking at the scenery outside the window with her back to him, was talking to him.
"So, what do you want to say?"
Shen Xueqi bit her lip lightly, but the fortune teller's words still made her make the right decision immediately, "Next, I will go to [Nanli Daoyu] alone. You and I will say goodbye here."
Without waiting for Mo Cheng's answer, Shen Xueqi turned around and prepared to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Mo Cheng constantly gesturing at her neck with his palm.
"You...what are you doing?"
"I was planning to see what kind of force I can use to knock you out without breaking your neck." Mo Cheng didn't panic at all after being discovered. Instead, he calmly said that this was a very illegal and criminal act. "I see that you don't seem to be very calm right now. It's best if you faint for a while to calm down."
Mo Cheng is very familiar with this kind of thing. Generally speaking, during an escort mission, the person being escorted will have one or two times when they feel depressed. At this time, all you need to do is use some physical calming methods.
The most he encountered was a weird person being escorted. That guy was upset four or five times a day. Mo Cheng couldn't even figure out whether he wanted to surrender or keep going.
That mission made Mo Cheng feel like his liver was aching. In the second half, Mo Cheng simply couldn't bear it anymore and knocked the target of the mission unconscious and took him away. If the other party showed signs of waking up, he would knock him unconscious again.
However, the reward for that troublesome task was not that much in the end.
The main reason was that Mo Cheng frequently attacked the person being escorted, which resulted in the rewards being deducted again and again. The person being escorted even suffered a herniated cervical vertebra because Mo Cheng hit the connection between the neck and back many times.
At that time, in order to quickly complete the disgusting mission, Mo Cheng did not argue too much. Anyway, he tried to avoid escort missions as much as possible since then.
"I was entrusted by Master Wang Han to send you to the [Nanli Dao Realm]. I have accepted the task, so I must do it well."
"I have made up my mind." Shen Xueqi insisted on her opinion, "I will explain the matter between Master and you to Master when the time comes."
Shen Xueqi was about to leave, but Mo Cheng stood in front of her.
Mo Cheng didn't dare to say anything else, but he still had the awareness that he had to complete the mission once he accepted it. "The Lonely Star Tribulation Evil can easily hurt people around it? Then it definitely can't hurt me."
Mo Cheng drew out the Liushui Sword and looked at Shen Xueqi with a smile, "You seem to think that the so-called Lonely Star Tribulation Evil can affect me, so how about we make a bet?"
"I don't believe in fate. No fate can control my will, and no celestial phenomena can control my life." He raised the Flowing Water Sword. "If the Lonely Star Robbery Evil is really easy to hurt people around him, then this sword will hurt me. Otherwise, your worry is completely unnecessary."
He looked at Shen Xueqi seriously, "I bet Gu Chen Jie Sha can't hurt me."
As he said that, without waiting for Shen Xueqi to react, he threw the Flowing Water Sword out. The Flowing Water Sword flew out of the window, and then flew back towards Mo Cheng like a boomerang.
"you!"
Shen Xueqi's face was shocked. She knew how sharp one of the Nine Abyss Famous Swords, Flowing Water, was. Even a disciple like her who practiced Taoism did not dare to test its sharpness lightly, let alone Mo Cheng, a Confucian disciple.
The Jixia Academy was famous for its extensive knowledge and tolerance of various theories, but it was not famous for its combat effectiveness or physical strength.
But at this time, Shen Xueqi's shoulders were held down tightly by Mo Cheng. He looked at the long sword attacking him with a confident and calm face.
The extremely sharp sword blade flew past Mo Cheng's neck almost and stabbed into the wall behind him. The entire sword body was completely embedded in the wall , and it even felt like if one used a little force, the sword could even completely penetrate the thick wall.
Releasing his hand on Shen Xueqi's shoulder, Mo Cheng smiled and said, "How about it? Gu Chen Jie Sha can't hurt me."
Mo Cheng responded with an inch-long punch and a pair of eyes filled with anger.
"The Flowing Water Sword can cut through iron like mud. If it had been even half a second off, your head would have been chopped off."
Although the inch punch was fierce, when it got close to Mo Cheng, Shen Xueqi retracted her strength and prevented Mo Cheng from getting injured.
Mo Cheng nodded, "That's right. If I had been a little bit off, I would have been dead by now. If what you worry about is that the Lonely Star Calamity Evil can easily harm people around me, then I should be lying dead here right now."
Mo Cheng turned around and pulled out the Liushui Sword stuck in the wall. "But I am not dead now, which means that what you are worried about will not come true."
After pulling out the Liushui Sword, Mo Cheng did not put it back into the sheath, but put the sword into Shen Xueqi's hand, "If you think I controlled my strength well just now, then you can give it a try to see if this Guchen Jiesha can hurt me."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng turned his back to Shen Xueqi and put his hands behind his back, "If you don't believe me, I can repeat it a thousand times or ten thousand times, and Gu Chen Jie Sha will not be able to hurt me."
…
Silence. There was only a frozen silence in the room.
It was unknown how long had passed, but with a "clang" sound, the Liushui sword was sheathed. Mo Cheng turned around and saw the sheathed Liushui sword placed on the table, while Shen Xueqi was taking out red ropes. On top of the red ropes that were already binding her body, she added a few more.
"My mood has not yet calmed down, and my fate is turbulent. I need to tie a few more red ropes."
Shen Xueqi's voice was a little colder than before, but this time she probably had no intention of parting ways . At least now Mo Cheng didn't see that she wanted to leave.
But then, the two of them suddenly seemed to have run out of topics to talk about, and they both fell silent.
"Last night, you used the Sky Thunder?"
After a long while, Shen Xueqi finally asked about what happened last night. The sound of Mo Cheng controlling the thunder made many people in the city unable to sleep.
Mo Cheng shrugged and said it was thunder from the sky, but in fact it was the [Lightning Strike] skill from [Zeus].
But it is rather troublesome to explain, and it involves quite a lot of words that need time to explain, so Mo Cheng can only say: "As a Jixia student, in addition to Confucian knowledge, it seems normal for me to know a little bit of Taoist magic, right?"
