Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 105 Grandmaster Gu Mo
With Gu Mo's innocence proven, the turmoil at Fengming Ferry came to an end. The disciples of the Xinyi League were captured by people from the five major sects and were to be escorted to Qiandeng Town to ask for an explanation from the Xinyi League.

However, relatively speaking,
The fact that these disciples of the Xinyi League were captured by the people from the five major sects actually saved their lives, because at that moment, all the people from various martial arts sects at Fengming Ferry were very excited. If the five major sects had not remained rational and wanted to conduct an investigation and settlement, all the disciples of the Xinyi League would have been killed on the spot by those angry people from various sects present.

So angry, so ashamed,

For each sect, they were treated like monkeys and played around by the Xinyi League. The key point was that many sects suffered heavy losses in this play, and many sects even had their leaders killed.

The murderer was Gu Mo, but they had no way to seek revenge on Gu Mo now, because from the very beginning they were deceived by the Xinyi League to kill Gu Mo, and were killed in return. If they sought revenge on Gu Mo now, it would be totally unacceptable and illogical.

In addition, the most important point is,
After all, the world of martial arts is a place where fists are the most important.

Gu Mo single-handedly defeated almost everyone present. Even the top masters of the six major sects were seriously injured. He faced the siege and killed a large group of masters alone. In this battle, Gu Mo's power was terrifying.

It is equivalent to defeating half of the Yunzhou martial arts world with one's own strength.

Such a person, such a fist,

Those sects are unreasonable to begin with, and even if they are right, few people dare to seek revenge.

Just like now, everyone is furious, but the five major sects, including Canglan Sword Sect, require them to go to the Xinyi League for settlement and investigation, and are not allowed to vent their anger and kill people here. They can only hold back their anger, because the fists of the five major sects are known to be big and hard.

Even now, they dare to clamor for a reckoning with the Xinyi League, largely because of the presence of the five major sects. If any sect is asked to seek a reckoning with the Xinyi League alone, no sect would dare to die, just like they dare not mention the fact that Gu Mo killed so many people tonight.

……

"Brother Shen, thank you very much today."

On the long street, the crowd gradually retreated, and Gu Mo was thanking Shen Bai.

To be honest, in today's situation, Shen Bai was willing to risk his reputation to help in public, which really touched Gu Mo.

Shen Bai held Gu Mo's arm, waved his hand, and said, "Brother Gu, you are being too polite. Back in Zhushan County, we met by chance, and you were able to save my life regardless of the danger. Now, you and I have become close friends. Can I still watch you suffer an injustice?
If it was me who was framed today, I believe that you, Brother Gu, would definitely not stand idly by. On the contrary, you saved my life, and I didn't help much in today's matter."

Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "If Brother Shen and I had come out to help today, the fight wouldn't be like this. I'm afraid I would have to fight to the death with the six major sects, and in the end, I would become the public enemy of the martial arts world."

If Shen Bai had not stepped forward to protect them today, there would have been a big battle from the beginning, and the conflict would have deepened, instead of Shang Buyu and others coming to mediate.

If so, Gu Mo is confident that he will kill them all, but in the end, Gu Mo's identity as a demon will be completely confirmed, and he will be cut off from the Yunzhou martial arts world. Although Gu Mo is not afraid, the key problem is that he will inexplicably become a knife of the Moon Worship Sect, act as a thug for the Moon Worship Sect, and bear the blame every day.

Shen Bai smiled and said, "It's mainly because of Brother Gu's unparalleled martial arts." At this point, Shen Bai sighed and said, "Alas, when we parted in Zhushan County, I was thinking that when my sword spirit was perfected, I would spar with you, Brother Gu. I didn't expect that after just a few months of not seeing you, Brother Gu's martial arts have reached such a level that it's almost like the work of nature. It really makes me ashamed."

"Luckily, I made a small breakthrough." Gu Mo said with a smile.

Shen Bai chuckled and said, "You've already reached this level after a small breakthrough. If you make a big breakthrough one day, won't you become the best in the world?"

"I dare not think about it."

At this moment, Shang Buyu came over and said with a bow, "Master Gu, my Canglan Sword Sect has been greatly offended by what happened today, but the matter is not over yet. I need to go to Nanting Villa to defeat Nie Dongliu today. After the matter is over, I will come to apologize. Don't worry, my Canglan Sword Sect will use all its strength to restore your reputation in the martial arts world and will not let you continue to suffer injustice."

Gu Mo nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jinghong, Jiang Wanzhao, Chang Si, Wu Tianfang and others also came forward to apologize and express their views.

Gu Mo's attitude was very calm. He didn't ignore them, but he wasn't enthusiastic either. He expressed understanding and acceptance of their apologies.

But Gu Chudong was different. She didn't show any good face to those people, and she even said a few words from time to time, making Xiao Jinghong and others feel embarrassed.

After some coping,
Tang Buyi somehow got a carriage and asked Gu Mo to get in it.

Just as Gu Mo was about to get in the carriage, Yang Qingtong came up to him and bowed solemnly, "Master Gu, Miss Gu, I will never forget the kindness you have shown me. I should repay you with my services. However, my father's murder has not been avenged, and Qingtong's innocence has yet to be cleared. Tonight, I will follow the major sects to Nanting Villa. Once I have avenged my father, I will come to you and serve you as my slave to repay your kindness."

"Don't!"

Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "Since we are destined to be friends, let's not talk about being slaves or servants. Miss Yang, you are still young and have a long future. The world is vast. If you feel that Yunzhou is a sad place, after you have avenged yourself, you can go out and have a look. The world is so big, you can go and see it."

"Hero Gu..."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "That's it. Let's go. I need to find a place to rest. I'm very tired. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will meet again in the martial arts world!"

Yang Qingtong opened his mouth slightly, looked at Gu Mo, and took back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. Then, he handed the famous Qiushui sword in his hand to Gu Mo and said, "Qingtong has nothing of value. Please accept this sword, benefactor. The world is vast, and it is good to have something to cherish!"

Gu Mo was not polite at all. He took the Qiushui Sword and said, "This sword is very good. I just happen to be short of a sword. I'll take it."

immediately,

Gu Mo turned and left.

In addition to Gu Chudong, the group also included Yan Sanniang, Ah Qi, and several skilled fighters from Buer Villa.

Gu Chudong had not forgotten to pick up the two heads of the fat and thin Taoist priests.

At this moment, the long street that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet. People from various sects left one after another, leaving the dilapidated long street in a mess, with many bloodstains still remaining.

The snow was falling heavily,

Yang Qingtong stood quietly in this cold environment, watching Gu Mo's back gradually walking away.

Her emotions were churning in her heart, as chaotic as the falling snow. After a long time, she let out a soft sigh. She turned around, her steps full of loneliness, and her figure became increasingly thin in the snowy night.

……

"Gu Daxia is really a cruel person,"

Deep in the long street, Yan Sanniang walked beside Gu Mo and chuckled, "I'd rather have a cold sword than have the girl repay her kindness with her own body. I'm afraid Miss Yang is heartbroken right now!"

Gu Mo said calmly, "We met by chance, it was just a coincidence. Some of the favors are too great to repay. How could there be any thoughts of flowers and moonlight as you think, Miss Yan?"

Yan Sanniang covered her mouth with a chuckle and said, "Of course not. In times of suffering, in times of crisis, heroes save beauties, fighting against many heroes for one person, going forward even if there are thousands of people, to clear the injustice. What girl can control herself when faced with such scenes? Do I have to say it out loud? But what girl can be without a little reserve? She even claims to repay the favor with her own body. Isn't it obvious?"

The wind blows the snow, the night is cold,
Gu Mo said calmly, "Having more friends is like having more scenery on your journey of life."

Yan Sanniang was slightly stunned, then she laughed and joked to Gu Chudong, "Sister Chudong, why don't you persuade your brother to find you a sister-in-law?"

Gu Chudong was carrying a bookcase containing human heads and counting on her fingers when she suddenly heard Yan Sanniang calling her. She looked up with a confused look on her face.

Yan Sanniang asked in surprise, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Gu Chudong took out a wad of wet banknotes from his bosom and said, "I just picked this up on the street. It's quite a lot. I calculated the money saved at home and added the bounty for the fat and thin Taoist heads." Gu Chudong looked at Gu Mo and said, "Brother, we have 10,000 taels now. Now we just need a rare treasure. Then we can go find the Medicine Saint Qi Miaoxuan to treat your eyes!"

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "Okay."

Gu Chudong grinned, her smile bright and sunny. Tang Buyi, who was standing next to the carriage, said, "Sister Chudong, you haven't answered Boss Yan's question yet!"

"What's the problem?"

"Miss Yang is beautiful and has great martial arts skills. Why don't you persuade your brother to accept her as your sister-in-law?" Tang asked without question.

"I won't advise you."

"why?"

Gu Chudong raised her head and said, "Because my brother's eyesight hasn't healed yet, he can't see now. What if the sister-in-law he marries isn't the type he likes? Wait until his eyesight healed and then find one. She doesn't have to be super pretty, as long as my brother likes her, right, brother!"

Gu Mo said seriously, "Well, you are right. You don't have to find a beautiful wife to marry. Just find one you like."

Gu Chudong nodded repeatedly and asked, "Brother, what kind do you like?"

Gu Mo said seriously: "I like beautiful ones."

Gu Chudong: “???”

Yan Sanniang couldn't help laughing.

Tang Buyi laughed out loud.

……

Just as the people from all the major sects left one after another, at Fengming Ferry, in that long street where fierce fighting was taking place,
Two figures walked out. They were Meng Qingkong, a hermit in the forest, and Bai Jingqi, the second son of the Guangyang Marquis’s Mansion.

Bai Jingqi said with a smile, "Gu Mo is quite interesting. After the fight, he didn't forget to compensate and even left two silver ingots in the inn he destroyed. You could say he has a chivalrous heart, but he doesn't like to do things for the sake of justice. You could say he doesn't have a chivalrous heart, but some of his actions are very chivalrous."

Meng Qingkong said, "Respect him. He has a respectful attitude towards everyone. Whether they are martial arts masters, ordinary people, or high-ranking officials, he seems to treat them all equally."

"This... is good."

Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "That's quite good. This is even rarer than a chivalrous demeanor. The most important thing is that his martial arts skills are so high, and yet he can still be so compatible with others, which is really rare."

Bai Jingqi pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Meng, actually, I have a question."

"What doubts?"

Bai Jingqi said, "The Xinyi League's accusation of Gu Mo is actually full of loopholes. The whole thing was done very crudely. If you spend a little time reviewing it, you can see many doubts. Why do people from the major sects still believe it and come to attack Gu Mo with such a big momentum?"

Meng Qingkong chuckled and said, "Second Young Master, the fact that you ask this question shows that you don't actually understand the nature of the martial arts world."

"I'd like to hear the details." Bai Jingqi said.

Meng Qingkong said slowly, "Jianghu, to put it bluntly, is a place of fame and fortune. How many people in the world truly want to uphold justice? They all seek fame and fortune. The truth? Who cares about the truth? Most things in the world end in vain, so where is the truth?"
Do those who wander the world pursue fame and fortune, but are also swept up in it? Doesn't anyone find it illogical that Gu Mo is an undercover agent of the Moon Worship Sect? Isn't it a problem to be an undercover agent in a Zhuifeng Tower?
However, as long as everyone believes it, it is true, even if it is false. Killing Gu Mo will gain fame. This is a shortcut to life. Instead of wasting time exploring the truth, it is better to give it a try. If it succeeds, you will gain both fame and fortune!"

Bai Jingqi said, "But what if we lose?"

Meng Qingkong said, "Everyone who has made it out into the martial arts world doesn't have some skills, and who doesn't have confidence in themselves? Before today's battle at Fengming Ferry, although Gu Mo had a considerable reputation, it was far from enough to intimidate people into giving up the opportunity to gain fame and fortune just based on his reputation. As for the consequences of losing? Hehe, who has made a name for themselves in the martial arts world without experiencing a few life-and-death battles? This was just one of them."

Bai Jingqi asked again: "But the Canglan Sword Sect and the Wu Family don't lack fame and fortune, right?"

"They're swept up in fame and fortune," Meng Qingkong said with a smile. "Being the boss is great, but it's also very stressful. You have to be on guard at all times, wondering if others will take over your position. For example, in this war between good and evil, are all these big sects really participating sincerely? Not really. They've all reached that level, and who wouldn't want to live a peaceful life? But what about the people below them? There are those outside who want to take over, and there are young people inside who want to make a name for themselves.

For example, if Canglan Sword Sect doesn't come to attack Gu Mo, that's fine, no one can force them. However, if everyone else comes, and they succeed, gaining huge fame and fortune, while Canglan Sword Sect doesn't come, won't people spread rumors that Canglan Sword Sect refuses to uphold justice? This will shake Canglan Sword Sect's reputation, and won't the disciples within the sect who crave fame feel resentful, feeling that the sect isn't giving them a chance? In the long run, their reputation will deteriorate and their morale will waver.

Bai Jingqi sighed and said, "No wonder the imperial court looks down on the martial arts world, thinking it is always a mob. There is a reason for that."

"Oh," Meng Qingkong sneered, "There's not much difference. The nature of the court is the same as the nature of the martial arts world, it's just that the level is higher and the means are more sophisticated.

Just like the case of Gu Mo, not many people care about the truth, and even fewer people in the court care about the truth. Whether Gu Mo is good or evil depends on fame and fortune. He has a strong fist, so everyone will choose to explore the truth and clear his name. If his fist is not strong enough, then he is a demon, and today all factions are fighting to eliminate demons and defend justice.

There are many such people in the underworld. For example, are all the wanted criminals on the blacklist truly guilty of heinous crimes? Some may be more righteous than those on the right path, but they are dismissed as evil. Essentially, their fists are not strong enough. Who cares? Even Gu Mo, who was wrongly accused today, was the one who did it. But when he went to capture a wanted criminal, did he care about the reason for that wanted criminal's arrest?

The court and the officialdom are the same. Are officials who are imprisoned or beheaded for corruption really corrupt officials? Perhaps they are more upright than all the officials in the court combined. To be more blunt, Second Young Master, your father is now notorious among the people. Countless people want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but in fact, don’t you know who your father is? The Guangyang Marquisate can barely afford to support even the servants, but it is a well-known villain and corrupt official. Isn’t it funny?"

Bai Jingqi let out a long sigh.

He was silent for a long time and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Gu Mo. This person is so strong, like a god of war. He is not even a master yet. I really can't imagine how powerful the master must be?" Bai Jingqi said.

Meng Qingkong smiled and asked, "Who told you that Gu Mo is not a master? Gu Mo is the master."

"Huh?" Bai Jingqi asked in bewilderment, "When did Gu Mo become a Grandmaster?"

"After tonight, Gu Mo will be a Grandmaster." Meng Qingkong said, "Second Young Master, have you forgotten what I told you before? Grandmaster is not a realm, but a title. Who can have that title? Among the most famous people, the most capable fighter is a Grandmaster.

After tonight, who in this world can say that Gu Mo is not a master? He conquered half of the Yunzhou world with his own strength, is he not a master? The major sects will not allow him to be anything less than a master.

Bai Jingqi asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Meng Qingkong said, "Gu Mo is a Grandmaster, so it's reasonable for Shang Buyu, Xiao Jinghong, Chang Si, and so many others to besiege and suppress him. No one would feel ashamed. Losing to a Grandmaster, even if they joined forces, even if it was Shang Buyu, would not bring shame to the Canglan Sword Sect. But if Gu Mo was not a Grandmaster, but just an ordinary young man, then all the major sects would lose face."

Bai Jingqi suddenly realized something, and then said, "Is our business over?"

Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "It's over. It's superfluous to do it again. We came to Dongping County this time to make Gu Mo famous. We made so many plans, but except for the first one of letting Gu Mo and Yang Qingtong meet, none of the others were used.

"Tonight's battle made my scalp tingle. In this situation, even if it were me, I would have just walked away. But Gu Mo actually managed to break through. He's simply a monster. But it's good. The effect is much better than we expected."

Bai Jingqi thought about it and said, "That's true."

After pondering for a while, Bai Jingqi suddenly asked, "Mr. Meng, what do you think would happen if Shang Buyu and the others fought Gu Mo with all their might today?"

"It's hard to say, probably 50-50." Meng Qingkong said.

Bai Jingqi was surprised and said, "Even if he fights for his life, can Gu Mo still have a 50-50 chance?"

Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "It's undeniable that they definitely have some trump cards, but strictly speaking, even if Xiao Jinghong, Chang Si, and Wu Tianfang use these trump cards, they won't necessarily become much stronger. This is because these three people are practicing internal and external skills, and they fight with their foundation. When risking their lives, their lower limit is high, but their upper limit is low.

Only Shang Buyu and Jiang Wanzhao are following the path of the true meaning of martial arts. The upper limit is very high. When risking their lives, the true meaning of martial arts is immeasurable. However, the path of the true meaning of martial arts has a high upper limit but a low lower limit, which tests external factors such as the state and environment.

These two have been frightened by Gu Mo's beating, and even if they risk their lives, it would be difficult for them to perform at their best. Their sword intent is definitely affected, but Gu Mo is different. He becomes more courageous and more determined as the battle goes on. The most important thing is that no one knows what Gu Mo's trump card is. In this situation where both have trump cards, the fighting spirit will increase and decrease. If they risk their lives, Gu Mo has a greater chance of winning. Shang Buyu and the others have the advantage of having nearly a thousand people from various major sects on their side, so I say it's a 50-50 chance."

Bai Jingqi said slowly, "As far as I know, Gu Mo still has a flying knife technique that he hasn't used yet. That flying knife technique also follows the true meaning of martial arts. In his previous state, his flying knife could take the life of anyone present, including Shang Buyu and Jiang Wanzhao."

Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "So, Gu Mo is worthy of the title of Grandmaster!"
