Chapter 18: Wooden Captain
After entering the secret room, he found it empty except for a cushion used for meditation. Lin Mo began to search the surrounding corners but did not find any secret compartments. He immediately thought of the bracelet in Wang Kun's hand which seemed a little different.
He returned to the hall, took off the bracelet from Wang Kun's body, and said to the system:
"Scan this bracelet."
The system replied: "Ding, a one-star space bracelet was found. Because the mark disappeared, it is now ownerless. You need to drip blood to identify the owner before you can check the items inside."
When Lin Mo heard this, he knew that this was the space equipment that Tang Yu had mentioned before that could only be made by those above the innate realm. Although it could only store some dead objects, it was also a lot more convenient. It can be seen how much the Hu family cares about the Earth Tiger Club. This kind of thing is very common in big places, but in Jinyang City, and even in Tianmu Domain, space items are somewhat scarce.
This gave him a great bargain, so he bit his finger and dripped the water onto the space bracelet. Although Lin Mo did not have any spiritual secrets, he could still use his mental power simply. Through his mental power, he sensed that the inside was about ten cubic meters in size, filled with silver and some gold, and there were some bottles and jars in the other corner.
Lin Mo took them out one by one for identification. Most of them were ungraded and one-star healing medicines, a small number were one-star pills that accelerated cultivation, and there were also two bottles of two-star pills. Lin Mo didn't think of greedily taking these few things, after all, the big part of the transaction with Meng Ting had not yet begun.
Finally, he found a strangely shaped white key from a pile of pills. Without thinking much about it, he took it out, looked at it, and threw it back into the space bracelet.
In addition to the bloody knife on his waist, other miscellaneous items including Wang Kun's head were also thrown into the space bracelet.
At this time, Captain Mu had already arrived at the territory of the Dihu Society. He checked the two branches, which were full of corpses. All of them had been hacked to death with a sharp knife, and the blood on the ground seemed to be evaporating. Captain Mu frowned and remembered something.
On that rainy night, Lin Mo was seen killing those gang members with a blood-red long sword, and there was also blood-red mist around him. However, Lin Mo's cultivation should not be enough to deal with Wang Kun of the Earth Tiger Society.
Although I have let go of my knot in my heart, he is still the son of my benefactor after all. I have found that he has made a lot of progress recently, and I am still very pleased. I hope nothing unexpected will happen.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and quickly went to the headquarters of the Dihu Society. When he arrived at the headquarters, he found it unusually quiet. There were two bodies lying at the door. Captain Mu checked and found that they should have died not long ago, so he drew out the official knife in his hand and slowly walked towards the hall.
At this time, Lin Mo had just put all his things into the space bracelet. When he heard the sound of the door opening outside and even slight footsteps, Lin Mo quickly went to the door of the hall. At this time, he only had 30% to 40% of his internal strength left. Anyone who came here at this time must be an enemy, not a friend. After drawing out the bloody knife, he was ready to kill the opponent with one blow the moment he entered.
Captain Mu arrived at the door of the hall and kicked it open. What came into his sight were the corpses of the two guardians of the Dihu Society and a headless corpse wearing only underwear. Judging from the body shape, Captain Mu judged that it should be Wang Kun, and he couldn't help but relax a little.
At this moment, Lin Mo slashed at the visitor who entered the hall with a knife. The knife condensed all of Lin Mo's internal strength. It was not only fast, but also incredibly powerful. The blood knife was now red and purple. The purple-red knife light pointed at the visitor's face. Under the reflection of the knife light, Lin Mo discovered that the visitor was Captain Mu. He was shocked and wanted to withdraw his knife skills, but it was too late.
Captain Mu was already a master at the acquired realm. Although his mind was relaxed, his body's instincts were still there. He immediately raised his official sword to block the attack. When he saw that it was Lin Mo who was attacking him, he could not help but smile bitterly and slowed down most of his strength. Instead, because he underestimated Lin Mo, he was knocked back a few steps by Lin Mo's sword.
Lin Mo put away the blood knife at this time, and bowed and said: "I'm sorry, Captain Mu, I didn't expect that the person who came was you. In addition, thank you for taking care of me some time ago. No matter what your reason is, I, Lin Mo, will remember this favor in my heart and will repay you in the future."
Captain Mu was secretly surprised by Lin Mo's previous sword attack. With his vision, he naturally discovered that Lin Mo was only at the fourth level of marrow refining. This cultivation speed was already extremely fast. What was even more amazing was that the previous sword attack had the power of the first level of Qi training. Although it was vulnerable to Captain Mu at this time, it also reflected the difference of Lin Mo. After all, Captain Mu knew clearly that Lin Mo had only been practicing for less than a year.
Then he told Lin Mo that he was a little surprised at his protection of him. After all, as a government official, many things were done in secret. However, after looking at Wang Kun's body, he guessed that it might be related to Wang Kun, and shook his head and said:
"You don't have to take it to heart. Your father saved my life. If a martial artist like me cannot repay the favor, we will have a knot in our hearts and hit a bottleneck in our practice. When your father and mother passed away for no reason, I had already hit a bottleneck and can only make up for the life-saving grace by taking care of you."
Lin Mo was slightly stunned after hearing this. Through his predecessor's memories, he felt that this pair of adoptive parents were different from ordinary people. His memories before the age of twelve were lost because of his rebirth, and he didn't even know the specific names of his parents.
Lin Mo originally thought that after fulfilling his ex's obsession, he would completely cut off this relationship. Unexpectedly, because of his parents' kindness, he was able to avoid being persecuted by the Hu family during this period. It was really a mess.
Then Lin Mo asked, "I wonder if Captain Mu knows my parents' real names, because since I was young, outsiders have only called me Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, and I was naughty since I was a child and didn't take it seriously. It was not until my parents passed away that I realized that I didn't know their real names. I am really unworthy of being a son."
Captain Mu frowned after hearing this and said, "I can tell you something about your parents , because I don't know much. As for their names, I am not very clear. I have always addressed them as Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin. After your parents died, I went to the Tianji Palace to look up their information, but was told that I did not have enough authority.
Your parents must be extraordinary people. At that time, there was a group of bandits passing by Jinyang City, and they were called the Nine Eagles and Thirteen Evils by the underworld. I was a new captain and was unwilling to stay in this remote little town, so I ignored the advice and insisted on killing them to make a contribution.
I didn't expect that the thirteen evil spirits among the Nine Eagles and Thirteen Evils were all masters of the acquired realm, while the Nine Eagles were all in the innate stage. Even the boss of the Nine Eagles, Yin Wanxiang, the Eagle Strike the Sky, was in the great perfection of the innate realm. With my cultivation level of perfect Qi training at that time, I was simply vulnerable to him.
Fortunately, Mr. Lin showed up and instantly moved among the Nine Eagles and Thirteen Evils. I didn't even see how Mr. Lin attacked before the twenty-two people fell to the ground and died at the same time. The autopsy results showed that they died of a heart explosion without any external injuries.
Until one week before Mr. Lin's body was found in the government office, Mr. Lin came to me and told me privately to take good care of you. He also passed on to me a set of internal skills called "Zhenhai Tianshan Gong ". Only when I had gotten rid of the knot in my heart some time ago and entered the acquired realm, could I use this skill slightly. This skill was taught to me by your father. I have always wanted to pass it on to you, but you have never made any progress and have been drinking all day.
It wasn't until some time ago when I went to investigate the fight between two major gangs and found you dealing with the remaining members of the two gangs on Anning Street that I learned that you had practiced martial arts.
And looking at your current spirit and temperament, you must have found your own way. Your parents in heaven will be very comforted. Besides, I hope you don't rush to inquire about your parents for the time being. After all, I have no idea what realm your father is in, but even someone as perfect as him couldn't withstand a random attack from him, which shows how powerful your father is.
But your father died suddenly for no apparent reason. Even if your opponent is not stronger than your father, he is at a similar level. Sometimes, not knowing anything is the best way to protect yourself. Isn't it? "
After saying that, Captain Mu took out the booklet from his arms and threw it to Lin Mo. Lin Mo saw that the cover was exactly the "Zhenhai Tianshan Gong" that Captain Mu mentioned. He couldn't help but admire Captain Mu's character and bowed, saying:
"In that case, thank you for your teaching, Captain Mu. I will always remember your kindness. Although you are repaying my father for saving my life, you have blocked my death knot many times in secret. The last street killing on Anning Street was also the trace you helped me clean up. Otherwise, with my strength at that time, if the two major gangs found my flaws, I would definitely be severely targeted. If I don't die, I will be in endless trouble. Lin Mo will definitely repay you handsomely. This is my promise."
Captain Mu nodded without any pretense, looked at Wang Kun's body and said:
"I came to the Dihu Club this time because of a secret order from the government. I need to take back Wang Kun's axe and I will clean up the remaining traces for you. You should be careful in the future. The Hu family will notice you sooner or later."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Mo's current strength of the fourth level of marrow refining and thought of something, took out the black key in his arms and said:
"You should know about the recent opening of the underground palace. These two keys have opened the underground palace outside Jinyang City after the blood sacrifice. The underground palace will be open at noon three days later. These keys are sometimes very useful in there, and sometimes they are just decorations. This is what the lord who came to the yamen some time ago told me. Take them and go in to find your own opportunity.
Although the way the underground palace was opened was rather bloody, after so long the major dynasties controlled it by using some idle gang members to kill each other. You should be very clear about what kind of people these scum are, so don't be hesitant about this matter. Just get the benefits and improving yourself is the key.
I'm being too generous this time. You can call me Uncle Mu from now on. I will be transferred after completing this mission. You should also go out and explore the world. After all, Jinyang City is too small. I will join the Mingmo Guard of the Great Mo Dynasty. You can come to me if you have trouble walking in the territory of the Great Mo Dynasty in the future."
After Lin Mo took the key, he couldn't help but say gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Mu."
