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

Chapter 174 Dragon and Tiger
Gu Mo smiled and waved, motioning Yu Shijiu to sit down, saying, "Brother Yu, sit down and talk!"

Yu Shijiu sat down immediately, but he was obviously a little unnatural and restrained.

Gu Chudong smiled when she saw this scene. She remembered that when she and her brother were escorting goods in Linjiang County, they had met some famous martial arts masters under the guidance of Uncle Qu. At that time, she and her brother were just like Yu Shijiu, feeling uneasy in front of those martial arts predecessors.

When I think about it carefully, only one or two years have passed.

But it seems like a lifetime ago.

Now, it has become the case that others feel restrained when facing their brother.

Gu Chudong poured a cup of tea for Yu Shijiu and said, "Young Master Yu, your swordsmanship is quite good!"

Yu Shijiu stood up quickly and said, "I, I, I... Let me demonstrate again. Just now, I didn't want to hurt anyone, so... I didn't perform well. Master Gu, Miss Gu, my sword is actually much better than when we fought just now... I... Really, I..."

Yu Shijiu was very excited and a little incoherent. The more he wanted to express himself, the more he didn't know how to say it. He was so anxious that he took off his iron-like sword from his back and performed a piece for Gu Mo on the spot.

"Hey, hey, hey, little brother, don't be too impatient," Zhuo Qingfeng helped Yu Shijiu sit down and said, "Hero Gu is so big that he can't run away. You have plenty of opportunities to show him your sword skills."

Yu Shijiu's face flushed with anxiety as he said, "My swordsmanship is really...ah..."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "Brother Yu, we are actually very predestined. After I became the ghostwriter, the first wanted criminal I killed was Feilong, the man you rushed from Mobei to Yunzhou."

"What a coincidence," Yu Shijiu said, holding his teacup. "That Feilong was very evil, burning, killing, and looting everywhere. I chased him for a long time without success. Later I heard that he was killed by you, Gu Daxia."

Gu Mo said, "I've long heard that the Flying Swordsman is a man of hatred for evil and a courageous heart. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is truly well-deserved. Speaking of which, this Ghostly Old Man Wuchang, like Fei Long, was also chased into my hands by Brother Yu. What's the story behind this Ghostly Old Man Wuchang?"

Yu Shijiu said, "I didn't go looking for the Impermanence Ghost Old Man originally. I heard about the whereabouts of the Dragon and Tiger Duo and followed them all the way to Jackdaw Ferry. I planned to stop by to see my friend and saw the Impermanence Ghost Old Man when I passed by Yuanjiatun.

At first, I thought I was seeing things, so I stayed in the village for several days. After confirming that the old man was the long-missing Ghostly Sou, I went to kill him. However, I didn't expect that the old man's martial arts skills weren't very good, but his Qinggong skills were quite good. I chased him for several days before I caught up with him. Just as I was about to kill him, I ran into the Tongshan group again.

Yuan Zhu of the Tongshan Sect is from Yuanjiatun. He was raised by the Ghostly Souvenir of Impermanence. Having received some favors from him, he insisted on protecting him, refusing to listen to anything I said. I had also received a meal from the Tongshan Sect leader, so I couldn't bring myself to kill his disciples. So I followed them and finally tracked them down here.

Zhuo Qingfeng quickly asked, "Little brother, are you saying that you know the whereabouts of the Dragon and Tiger Heroes?"

Yu Shijiu nodded and said, "Yes, I've been hanging out in the black markets of Mobei for years, and I know a lot of people from all walks of life, so I'm well-informed. The Dragon and Tiger brothers are currently in the area around Jackdaw Ferry. As far as I know, they're after a pair of short clubs made of star iron that appeared in the Jackdaw Ferry black market. They're said to be made by a famous craftsman, and both brothers use them as weapons."

Zhuo Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he said to Gu Mo, "Brother Gu, these two heroes, Dragon and Tiger, are also one of our targets in the Six Gates. These two brothers are masters of evil ways who have risen to prominence in recent years. They are very famous in the Mobei area and are also among the most wanted criminals in Mobei. Since we are here, why don't we go and meet them?"

at this time,

The system prompt sounded again in Gu Mo's mind:

【New target detected】

[Wanted Target—Dragon and Tiger]

[Mission Level—Three Stars]

[Quest Reward—Maximum Level Extinction Cross Blade Technique]

……

This Extinction Cross Sword Technique comes from "Tian Ya Ming Yue Dao" and is a top-level sword technique, known for its domineering and ruthlessness. When it is performed, the sword energy crisscrosses and the attack is sharp, aiming to quickly defeat the enemy with powerful force and swift attack.

Gu Mo felt that this sword technique came at a very timely moment, because Gu Chudong had almost mastered the Xuanxu sword technique after his improvement.

Speaking of which, Gu Mo discovered that Gu Chudong's talent in swordsmanship was average, but her talent in swordsmanship was quite good. And now, she had a very powerful Gou Chen Demon Sword in her hand, and she just needed a strong enough sword technique.

Therefore, this Extinction Cross Sword Technique came at the right time.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Gu Mo had just opened the door when Zhuo Qingfeng came in, handed Gu Mo a sword, and said, "I was in a hurry to leave Changling County a few days ago, and I forgot to give you this sword. This is what Tietou gave you. In the fight at Shenbing Villa before, you lost both of your famous swords.

Later, after Tietou recovered from his injuries, he borrowed the earth fire from the Divine Weapon Villa to forge a sword for you. However, because I was in a hurry to get to Mobei, I was a bit rushed. While this sword isn't as good as your previous two, it's definitely a rare and excellent sword. When I return this time, I'll get some good materials and have Tietou forge a fine sword for you.

Gu Mo unsheathed his sword, felt it, and nodded, "Very good."

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said, "After all, Tietou is the direct disciple of the Military Saint Tiezhu, so naturally he must be good. Well, by the way, there is something you need to help me with." "Yu Shijiu?" Gu Mo asked.

"The one who understands me best is Brother Gu!" Zhuo Qingfeng said with a smile, "That boy is a talented fighter with good character. I really want to recruit him into the Six Gates. However, he must have some concerns. Aren't you going to Jackdaw Ferry to capture the Dragon and Tiger Heroes? He admires you immensely. Find a chance to ask him some questions and find out what he's worried about."

Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll try my best, but he may not be suitable for the Six Gates. I can sense that his sword intent is very pure, so I'm afraid he won't be suitable for officialdom."

Zhuo Qingfeng said: "Just give it a try, I won't force you!"

Gu Mo nodded and asked, "From what you said? You're not going to Jackdaw Ferry?"

Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I won't go. This time we've gained quite a bit. Besides capturing the Impermanent Ghost Old Man, the biggest unexpected gain is those ignorant Tongshan disciples. They gave me an excuse to exploit this issue. Openly shielding wanted criminals and attacking imperial officials, any one of these is enough to make the Tongshan sect suffer.

Of course, the focus isn't on the Tongshan Sect, but on the fact that the Mobei Six Gates can use this as a gateway to penetrate the Mobei martial arts world. This matter is crucial, and I must personally oversee it. Otherwise, if I head to Jackdaw Ferry and someone in the Six Gates uses their connections to release those Tongshan Sect disciples, I'll be in big trouble.

Gu Mo didn't quite understand the intricacies of the Six Gates' operation, so he asked directly, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, we have to force the Tongshan Sect to make concessions," Zhuo Qingfeng said. "The Tongshan Sect is one of the eight major sects in Mobei, and their sphere of influence is very extensive in Mobei. As long as the Tongshan Sect makes concessions, the Six Gates will be able to tear open a gap in the Mobei martial arts world."

"Then, what if the Tongshan Sect doesn't give in?" Gu Mo asked.

Zhuo Qingfeng laughed and said, "The Six Gates can't defeat the entire Mobei martial arts world, but they can't defeat the Tongshan Sect. I just didn't dare to use force easily because I was concerned about the relationships and backgrounds of all parties involved, and I was worried that the matter would escalate. But now I have the Tongshan Sect's handle, and I occupy Dali. If I use force against the Tongshan Sect, who among the other sects would dare to interfere? They are not really planning a rebellion."

Gu Mo nodded slightly.

Zhuo Qingfeng added, "It doesn't matter whether I go or not. When I return, Chen Xiuyuan will continue to follow you. At the same time, I will also send a team of elite detectives to go with you to Jackdaw Ferry to help gather information. They will be ready for deployment at any time."

"can."

……

Jackdaw Ferry was not far from Ghost Crying Ridge. However, the harsh environment of Mobei, with its raging sandstorms, meant that Gu Mo and his group were not very fast, and it took them two full days to reach the destination.

However, after arriving at Jackdaw Ferry, their treatment was much better than before at Ghost Crying Ridge, because they lived in a large market town within Jackdaw Ferry. On the day they arrived at the town, Gu Mo and his group moved into the best residence in Jackdaw Ferry Town, a small earthen-walled courtyard.

Afterwards, more than thirty detectives from the Six Gates split up into small groups and spread out with Jackdaw Ferry Town as the center to investigate the whereabouts of the Dragon and Tiger duo.

The reason they didn't go to the black market was because it wasn't a real market at all. Instead, it referred to a group of people from all walks of life who had various channels and connections, were able to sell all sorts of shady things, and were also able to obtain things that couldn't be bought in the ordinary market. Therefore, this circle was called the black market. To put it simply, it was a circle of merchants doing shady business in various places.

It’s just that many people who don’t know the truth spread rumors and thought that there really is such a market called the black market somewhere.

If there really is such a place, the government wouldn't need to investigate. They could just block the entrance to the black market and arrest people. They would definitely catch them one by one.

Yu Shijiu was very familiar with the black market. He took Chen Xiuyuan and others to inquire about the whereabouts of the Dragon and Tiger duo, but there were no clues for several days.

Until this morning.

Gu Mo was instructing Gu Chudong on the final Xuanxu sword technique in the courtyard when Chen Xiuyuan returned with his men and said, "Master Gu, find the whereabouts of the Dragon and Tiger duo."

"Where?" Gu Mo asked.

Chen Xiuyuan's face looked very bad, and he said, "There is a small village called Dawangzhuang, which is not very noticeable in Jackdaw Ferry. There are only fifty or sixty people in the whole village. It is more like a small family than a village.

We found a clue that the Dragon and Tiger duo probably went to Dawangzhuang seven days ago, and then... in these seven days, no one from Dawangzhuang came out."

Gu Chudong asked in confusion, "No one has ever come out? Is that strange? It's normal for people in a small village to stay secluded and not leave the village!"

Chen Xiuyuan said slowly, "It's not that they won't leave the village, but no one in the village has left. No one is working. Um... The Dragon and Tiger... They enjoy eating people!"

Gu Chudong's eyes widened in shock, "You're not saying that all the people in Dawangzhuang were eaten by the Dragon and Tiger duo, are you?"

Chen Xiuyuan nodded slightly and said, "This possibility is very high."

Gu Chudong's face turned pale instantly.

Chen Xiuyuan added, "Brother Yu Shijiu and the brothers from the Six Gates are ready and waiting for you to set off together."

Immediately, Gu Mo stood up and called Gu Chudong to set off.
