Chapter 173 Fengdu Goddess

"Fourth brother, why are you here!" Chen Mo's words were full of doubts. Although he tried his best to avoid it, his face was still filled with surprise.

He remembered clearly that Mo Dao had been dead for a long time. Although he did not witness the burial of the body with his own eyes, he helped to bury it.

He is definitely dead, but why is he here now?

Could it be that the ruins here evolved based on my own memory? But if so, why have I never seen other pedestrians on the street?

Or should we say that this is a very special Ruins Realm, where all the dead people will gather.

This is certainly possible, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Wei Xia, as a ghost, was so at ease here.

However, despite this speculation, Chen Mo still did not let down his guard.

"Thirteenth brother! How can you be here? Did you receive the message I asked the county magistrate to send out?"

Mo Dao looked particularly excited and hurriedly walked to Chen Mo, put his hands on his shoulders, and grabbed him hard.

"Fourth brother, how can you be here?" Chen Mo asked the same question as him, and the energy in his body was secretly on guard.

"Don't mention it, it's a long story! Do you remember when your adoptive father asked us to go to Qingzhou to investigate the bandits?"

When talking about this matter, Mo Dao's face was filled with words, and he wanted to say them all in one breath.

"My fifth brother and I encountered a purple-robed Taoist there. The Taoist was extremely powerful. I fought with all my strength to let Xiaohu escape first, but the Taoist hit me with his arm and I fainted.

When I opened my eyes, I didn't know why I appeared near this city. I wanted to go into the city and ask about the situation nearby, and then find a chance to find you guys.

But in this city, most people don't know where Xingyuan Mansion is, and many don't even know Dingzhou.

Fortunately, there is still a government office here. I went to see the county magistrate first and learned from him that Xingyuan Mansion is more than 10,000 miles away from here.

The key is that there are vast mountains and foreign lands in between. Don't talk about me, even if the warriors go there rashly, they may get lost on the way.

So I had no choice but to stay here for now. When the county magistrate learned that I was from the army and had a good reputation, he asked me to fill the vacancy of county captain in the county.

Knowing that I still wanted to find you, he advised me to settle down temporarily and find a way to help me send the news to you. I followed his advice and bought a house and land in this city to settle down. "

Mo Dao sat on the table and talked a lot in one breath, telling all about his situation and experiences.

Chen Mo listened very carefully and nodded in response from time to time.

"How did you come here? Could it be that the imperial army came here? How is Xiaohu doing now? And how is his adoptive father doing now?"

After talking about his own affairs, he asked several very concerned questions one after another.

"The imperial court sent us as the advance party for the invasion of foreign tribes to come here to investigate the situation.

My adoptive father is also on the road now and has been promoted. As for the fifth brother, he was promoted to an official position, passed the exam and got married. "

Chen Mo spoke briefly and told the question he wanted to know most.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine!" Mo Dao was particularly happy when he heard this. He had stayed in this city for nearly two years and knew nothing about the outside world.

Now that I saw Chen Mo, an acquaintance, I was naturally afraid of hearing something bad from him.

But now that everything is fine, that's for the best.

"I wonder who this girl is?" Mo Dao sounded slightly confused and turned his gaze to Wei Xia.

"This is a strong man from the imperial patrol. He came here with me to investigate." Chen Mo did not hesitate and made up an identity for her.

Mo Dao didn't doubt it too much. If a woman from this world could practice martial arts, then of course she could be an official and work in the Patrol Guard.

Many legitimate daughters from aristocratic families practice martial arts, and their strength is not necessarily inferior to that of men. As long as they are willing to become officials, they can certainly do it.

In the final analysis, everything must rely on strength to speak for itself.

"Then how did you come here? This place is not connected to most of my territory in Daqian. It is also separated by mountains and foreign races. It is not that easy to get in."

Mo Dao was doubtful again and asked in confusion.

"My little brother has naturally made a small breakthrough in strength. In addition, when I entered this place to investigate this time, I was protected by the powerful men of the imperial court, so I was able to come here." Chen Mo explained with a smile.

Mo Dao wanted to ask him again why he came here to investigate, but the words came to his lips but he did not speak.

He was also born in the military, so he naturally knew that if Chen Mo didn't take the initiative to tell him some things, it would be better not to ask.

"Let's go home with Fourth Brother quickly. Let's have a good drink."

He started talking again and immediately looked at Wei Xia, "My lord, why don't you come too?"

"Yes." Wei Xia glanced at Chen Mo first, then nodded.

"Old Qian, hurry up and cut the beef and send it to my house, and prepare some more good dishes. My brother's table account will also be on me, and I will pay it to you at the end of the month."

Mo Dao was a little excited to see Chen Mo, his brother. While pulling him towards his home, he did not forget to explain to the innkeeper.

Mo Dao's house is a single-family bluestone courtyard, not far from the inn, only a hundred steps away.

The courtyard is kept quite clean and tidy, and everything is in order.

"Madam, my brother is back. Hurry up and get some wine from the wine cellar." Mo Dao shouted loudly as soon as he walked into the house.

He served as the county captain here, and within half a year of settling down, the county magistrate took the initiative and arranged a marriage for him. Let him marry the eldest daughter of the county magistrate's family, and now the couple can be considered a harmonious couple.

"Okay." A response came from the house, and a gentle-looking woman in her twenties wearing a floral skirt walked out.

"This is Chen Mo, whom I have often mentioned to you." Seeing his wife walking out, Mo Dao hurriedly introduced her.

"Sister-in-law." Chen Mo saluted with his hands raised.

At that moment, the servants in the house were busy, and several cold dishes and jars of wine were placed on the table one after another.

All kinds of food were quickly delivered to the inn, and the table was quickly filled.

Chen Mo and Mo Dao were drinking, while Wei Xia and Mo Dao's wife were sitting at another table chatting.

The brothers were extremely happy to meet each other and chatted over wine, while Chen Mo took the opportunity to keep making excuses from Mo Dao.

If he really evolved from this mirage, then he must only be similar in appearance, and he must not be clear about many things.

As long as he asks more questions, he will definitely find out the flaws.

However, after repeated inquiries, he became more and more certain that the Mo Dao in front of him was definitely not the evolution of the Ruins Realm here.

From this point of view, this sea of ​​blood is most likely the Netherworld, and at least has some characteristics of the Netherworld Underworld.

It can allow many dead souls to live here and behave the same as living people.

And no matter where the soul died, it seems that there is a probability that it will come here.

But if this is the case, then the sea of ​​​​blood may be far larger than a thousand miles, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many souls.

After drinking an unknown amount of wine, Mo Dao was very drunk. Chen Mo seemed to have a reddish complexion and smelled of alcohol, but in fact his eyes were still clear.

Through the communication with Mo Dao, he learned a lot of information. For example, the name of the county here is Wangsicheng. Most of the people in the city encountered accidents, and then everything went dark.

From Chen Mo's point of view, instead of calling this city Wangsi City, it would be better to call it the City of Wasted Death.

As for this, they never felt anything strange. There were people getting married in the city, but no newborns were ever born.

This point was also ignored by everyone, and Chen Mo wisely did not continue to ask.

After drinking until the afternoon, Mo Dao had fallen asleep on the table.

"Sister-in-law, the imperial court sent me here. I have something to do. We have to go see the county magistrate here first." Upon seeing this, Chen Mo stood up and said.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take you to the county government office." She smiled gently and called a servant to guide Chen Mo and Wei Xia.

The county government offices in Wangsi City are quite impressive and are much larger than ordinary county offices.

"I am the imperial general who conquers the west. Where is the county magistrate here? Come and see me quickly!" Chen Mo walked to the gate of the county government office and showed his official seal.

The porter did not doubt his presence, and hurriedly invited him into the office, and hurriedly called the county magistrate to come.

Chen Mo didn't wait long and saw the Sicheng County Lord running all the way. He really couldn't understand why a high-ranking official like General Zhengxi suddenly visited their small town.

"Sir!" He bowed down and bowed very low.

Chen Mo didn't look at him, but looked at the person next to him.

This person's face is covered by a black veil and her face cannot be seen clearly, but judging from her height and body shape, she should be a woman.

It's just that no one else seems to be able to find her except herself.

"You are an outsider! Can you see me?"

The woman was quite surprised when she saw this and asked in a low voice.

Chen Mo nodded slightly. It seemed that even if this woman was not the Lord of the Blood Sea, she should be his subordinate.

It's just unclear why she wanted to follow the magistrate. Could it be that she was carefully monitoring him to prevent changes in the city.

"The imperial court sent me here on important matters. You first go and carefully count the number of local names." Chen Mo looked at the county magistrate and casually assigned him a job, and sent him away first.

"I understand!" After receiving the specific instructions, the Fourth County Lord was not so worried and hurriedly turned around to do it.

"I am the Duke of Daqian Pingyang and the general of the Western Expedition. I wonder who this girl is?" Chen Mo saw that no one was around, so he saluted and asked the woman he saw before.

Although she was wearing a veil, Chen Mo could still feel her surprise. It seemed that she was quite surprised that she could see her.

Wei Xia couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Even when he saw a figure gradually emerging from the void, he couldn't help but feel very shocked.

"I am the maid of the palm seal of Empress Fengdu, and I supervise the city here under the order of the empress." She held her head high and said in a proud tone.

"Empress Fengdu?" Chen Mo sounded slightly confused. He had never heard of this name in the records of King Pingxi.

It's just that there is the Fengdu Empress here, which makes it more reliable. This is most likely a place of the netherworld.

"Of course, our empress was born with heaven and earth in mind, and she is in charge of this boundless netherworld. She is a first-class big shot in heaven and earth."

The black gauze palace lady spoke confidently, and looked very respectful to the Fengdu Empress.

"It's just that I haven't heard of the Fengdu Empress's destiny, but I've only heard of the Lord of the Blood Sea."

Chen Mo spoke with a puzzled look on his face, wanting to continue to trick the other party.

"Don't mention that despicable villain. My Majesty was kind enough to save him, but he turned back and tried to steal My Majesty's authority.

He is actually so crazy that he wants to expand the sea of ​​blood to the entire world, involving all the countless creatures in the world.

We, who are of the Fengdu lineage, have long been at odds with him. "

The tone of the black-veiled maid's voice was filled with disgust and anger. It seemed that there must be many stories involved.
