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

Chapter 7 The first task

After signing the deed of affiliation, Yan Sanniang immediately arranged a residence for Gu Mo and his sister in a small courtyard not far from Buer Villa. It was free of charge because the courtyard originally belonged to Yan Sanniang and was fully equipped with furniture and kitchen utensils.

That night, the brother and sister moved in.

The next day, just after dawn, Gu Chudong bought firewood, rice, oil and salt. When Gu Mo got up, the food was already prepared. The timing was perfect.

This is the tacit understanding that the two siblings have developed over the years.

Since Gu Chudong was seven years old, Gu Mo took Gu Chudong to travel the world. The brother and sister traveled to many places all over the world. At that time, they had a clear division of labor. Gu Mo was responsible for making money, and Gu Chudong was responsible for domestic affairs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Gu Chudong knew Gu Mo's daily routine very well, so he could always save a lot of time. The reason why he saved so much time was that Gu Mo not only needed to make money, but also needed to practice martial arts. He never slacked off regardless of the cold or heat. This was also the main reason why he could practice forty-eight moves of his mysterious swordsmanship without anyone's guidance. It was all because of his hard work and persistence.

Just after finishing the meal,
Gu Mo began to teach Gu Chudong the swordsmanship.

Gu Chudong felt very surprised, because although Gu Mo could not see, he could always find the mistakes in her swordsmanship, even if it was just a very small and subtle place, he could point it out.

Gu Chudong couldn't help but complain: "Brother, if you were so powerful earlier, I would have become a hero long ago!"

"Then I need to lose my sight sooner."

Gu Chudong pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, I'd rather you weren't that strong. But, seriously, brother, just looking at your martial arts, you seem like a different person."

"What about looking at people?"

"Well, his personality and habits haven't changed, but his temperament has changed. I feel like I've attained enlightenment!"

Gu Mo smiled slightly.
He indeed has attained enlightenment.

Buddhism says that there is great terror between life and death, and great confusion between reincarnation.

He encountered a great change and awakened his wisdom.

If you say he has changed, then he has indeed changed. If you say he has not changed, then he is still the same person.

However, in terms of martial arts realm, it is indeed because the Nine Yang Divine Art has elevated it to a realm that most people cannot reach in their lifetime. It is one level short of the master who has returned to nature, but it is far higher than the average first-class masters in the world.

Of course, this is just the realm of martial arts, not combat power.

Combat power is not easy to evaluate.
It's just like the old knife-holder I dealt with last night. He was a famous first-class master when he was young. Now, after decades of immersion, his martial arts level should be far beyond that of ordinary first-class masters, but he was frightened by Gu Mo's exquisite internal skills and dared not take action.

Combat power and martial arts level are not completely corresponding.

……

Just as Gu Mo was instructing Gu Chudong in practicing swordsmanship, he heard footsteps outside the yard. Although he had not heard the sound yet, he could tell that it was Yan Sanniang and the swordsman named Ah Qi who had been protecting Yan Sanniang closely.

"bang bang bang"

There was a knock on the door.

Gu Chudong opened the door and it was indeed Yan Sanniang and the black-clad swordsman named Ah Qi who came in.

"Young Master Gu," Yan Sanniang asked as she entered, "Do you plan to take a break before accepting the mission, or do you want to take it now?"

"Anytime." Gu Mo asked, "Do you have a lot of tasks on hand?"

"Of course there are a lot," Yan Sanniang said, "but I would like to ask Young Master Gu to catch a thief. As you know, my Chasing Wind Tower has just opened, and it's time to gain fame. The best way to do this is to do a few good ghostwriting missions."

"Tell me about it," Gu Mo asked. Gu Chudong came out with a teapot and poured tea, saying casually, "Boss Yan, please don't ask us to do something as unbelievable as capturing the leader of the Demon Cult. We are here to act as ghostwriters, not to be dead bodies."

"Sister Chudong, you're joking," Yan Sanniang said. "Even if you wanted to capture those demonic masters, I wouldn't dare let you do that. My Buer Villa can't withstand their wrath, and I don't have the ability to get any information about them. What's more, I'm counting on your brother to help me make money. If you kill your brother, I'll be at a huge loss."

Gu Chudong poured tea for Yan Sanniang and Ah Qi, then sat next to Gu Mo without saying a word.

Yan Sanniang took out a stack of rice paper and said, "This is the information I've gathered. I wonder if Young Master Gu has ever heard of the Pegasus Gang?"

"Are you talking about the group of horse thieves who roam around Mobei all year round?" Gu Mo asked.

"Yes." Yan Sanniang said, "It seems that Young Master Gu knows."

Gu Mo nodded.

He had been escorting convoys at the Changfeng Escort Agency for several years, so naturally he was more concerned about organizations such as bandits and horse thieves.

This Flying Horse Gang is a group of horse thieves that their escorts focus on. They roam around the Mobei area all year round and often massacre villages and families. Very few escorts who are encountered by them can escape alive.

This group of horse thieves is extremely vicious. Generally, the main purpose of horse thieves and bandits in robbery is to get money. As long as the victims hand over the money readily, they can usually survive. At most, if there is a beautiful woman, she may be robbed.

But the Pegasus Gang is different.
This group of people always take both money and lives when they take action. Their favorite thing is to massacre a village. They gather all the people in the village together and then start slaughtering them, trying to see who can kill the most people. Their methods are very cruel and they do not spare the elderly, children or babies.

The government launched several campaigns against the rebels, but achieved little.

Because that group of horse thieves never stayed in a fixed place and roamed around all year round. The most important thing was that the Pegasus Gang was mainly led by its leader Feilong, and the other people were not important. If one died, another would be immediately replaced. Over the past ten years, the Pegasus Gang had changed many members, but the leader Feilong had always been the same person.

Yan Sanniang said, "Recently, this group of horse thieves appeared in Linjiang County."

Gu Mo asked in confusion, "The Pegasus Gang hasn't left Mobei for over a decade, so why are they suddenly in Linjiang County?"

Yan Sanniang said, "They have run into a tough opponent. A swordsman has appeared in Mobei. He has recently become extremely famous in the Mobei area. People in the martial arts world call him the Flying Swordsman. He appeared suddenly and no one knows his name, so some people call him Wuming.

No one knew what grudge this man had with the Pegasus Gang, but he kept on chasing them without sleep. However, this man had superb swordsmanship and martial arts skills, and he forced the Pegasus Gang to flee out of Mobei.

In just two weeks, he has already committed three massacres in Linjiang County. The Six Gates have been actively pursuing him, and although they have captured several of the Feima Gang's bandits, they have yet to capture Feilong. The government has increased the reward by one thousand taels."

Gu Mo said, "One thousand taels, wouldn't that drive the ghostwriter crazy?"

"Yes, and not only that," Yan Sanniang said, "some underworld forces and wealthy businessmen have also offered rewards. The total amount exceeds three thousand taels. If this deal is successful, it is enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for a lifetime."

Gu Mo asked doubtfully, "Do you have any leading intelligence?"

Yan Sanniang nodded and said, "Yes, this is absolutely the first-hand information in the entire martial arts world right now. The Pegasus Gang committed three tragic crimes in Pingze County. Currently, all the clues and intelligence about the Pegasus Gang are concentrated in Pingze County and its surrounding areas. However, I have the latest information. Feilong has fled to Zhushan County. Are you interested?"

"Try it!"

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Gu Mo's mind:

【New target detected】
