Chapter 8 Chance Encounter
Hear the system prompt tone,

Gu Mo was delighted.

The reward for killing this flying dragon is the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

To Gu Mo, this martial art was well-known, and was said to be the most masculine in the world. It was very strong and fierce, and the moves were very simple, yet varied. It had eighteen palm techniques and eighteen moves, and had eighteen ways of dealing with the enemy. However, each way of dealing with the enemy was mainly based on offense, which fully proved that "offense is the best defense."

This palm technique is extremely powerful, which means it requires a lot of internal energy. If you don't have enough internal energy, it will be very troublesome to use this palm technique.

But it just suits Gu Mo.

His Nine Yang Divine Art, with its endless internal energy, is a perfect match with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

This palm technique can make up for Gu Mo's current shortcomings.

He now has the Nine Yang Divine Art which is powerful enough, but his only means of attack is the Xuanxu Sword Technique. Although the Xuanxu Sword Technique is exquisite, it is a martial art that focuses on both real and fake moves. It is exquisite but lacks attack power, which is a bit of a waste of the Nine Yang True Qi.

……

Hearing that Gu Mo was willing to take on this task, Yan Sanniang hurriedly handed the stack of rice paper in her hand to Gu Chudong and said, "This contains detailed information about Feilong and the Pegasus Gang, including each of their martial arts expertise, personalities, and so on. I have tried my best to find out as much as possible. You two should study it carefully."

Gu Chudong nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will take a good look at it."

Yan Sanniang continued, "Feilong is currently in Zhushan County, but the Feima Gang is in Pingze County. Everyone's attention is drawn to Pingze County. I should be able to get the information out about five days ahead of everyone. So, you must go to Zhushan County as soon as possible, otherwise, we will lose the initiative. After you get to Zhushan County, you need to find someone."

"Who?" Gu Chudong asked.

Yan Sanniang said, "There's an underground businessman in Zhushan County named Wen Yong, nicknamed Night Mouse. He's quite famous in Zhushan County and specializes in pawnshops. He's not hard to find. He's one of Feilong's partners and has been helping Feilong sell stolen goods. Feilong has a lot of valuable jewelry that he resold through him. Now that Feilong has gone to Zhushan County, only this person knows Feilong's specific whereabouts."

"Okay." Gu Mo nodded.

Gu Chudong on the side asked doubtfully, "Since he is Feilong's partner, will he tell us Feilong's whereabouts?"

Yan Sanniang smiled confidently and said, "Yes, because he is now one of the secret agents of Bu Er Villa in Zhushan County."

Gu Chudong was stunned for a moment and exclaimed in admiration: "Boss Yan, you are amazing!"

Yan Sanniang chuckled and said, "Without any connections, how could I dare to do the business of chasing the wind?"

"But why doesn't he just tell you where Feilong is hiding?" Gu Chudong asked.

"It's useless. People like Feilong are very vigilant and won't stay in one place for long. They are always changing places. Only after we go there can we track down the latest location." Yan Sanniang thought for a moment and said, "I have recorded the rest of the information on the rice paper. You can read it while you are on your way. Well, when are you planning to leave?"

"Anytime." Gu Mo said.

"Then I'll arrange a carriage for you," Yan Sanniang said, "Can Sister Chudong drive?"

Gu Chudong responded, "No problem. When I was escorting with my brother, I was the escort and was usually the one driving."

"That's no problem. I'll send a carriage over shortly. I've prepared food and a change of clothes for you," Yan Sanniang said. "All you have to do is get ready to go."

After saying that, Yan Sanniang got up and left.

Gu Chudong escorted Yan Sanniang to the door and suddenly asked, "Boss Yan, you have a wide network of contacts and are very knowledgeable. I would like to ask you something."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Gu Chudong asked cautiously, "Do you know any amazing doctor?"

Yan Sanniang glanced into the courtyard and said, "You want to know if there is anyone who can cure your brother's eyes?"

Gu Chudong nodded and said, "I don't want my brother to never see it again in his life."

Yan Sanniang said: "It is a pity if a person like Young Master Gu cannot see the beauty of the world. I don't know that kind of miracle doctor, but I know there is someone who can cure it?" "Who?" Gu Chudong asked.

"Qingzhou, Medicine Saint Qi Miaoxuan," Yan Sanniang said, "This man has a precedent of curing the eyes of a blind man who was born blind. However, his whereabouts are elusive. Moreover, many people seek his treatment, but few are able to receive it because his rules are difficult to follow."

"What's weird?" Gu Chudong asked.

Yan Sanniang said, "There are three rules. First, the ten thousand taels of silver must be in cash, not notes, and each ingot must be one tael. It's said he likes to throw silver into the river for fun. Second, the gift must be a rare treasure that piques his interest. Third, the gift must be from a friend he recognizes."

Gu Chudong said bewilderedly, "I can understand the first two points, but for the third point, who knows what it takes to be considered a friend he recognizes?"

Yan Sanniang said helplessly, "So, this is why it's so difficult to find him to treat illnesses. The first two are difficult for ordinary people, but they're not difficult for those high-ranking officials, nobles, merchants, and wealthy people. The difficulty lies in the third one."

Gu Chudong nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Boss Yan. No matter what, at least there is hope."

"I'll try my best to help you think of a solution and ask around."

"Thank you!"

Yan Sanniang smiled and turned to leave.

Ah Qi, still cold and stoic, followed Yan Sanniang, holding his sword. As they walked, Ah Qi suddenly asked, "Boss, is Gu Mo really blind?"

"Really? What's wrong?" Yan Sanniang asked.

"I just saw him counting ants."

"Ok?"

Ah Qi said, "I heard that when one's martial arts skills reach a certain level, one can reach a state called the cicada's awareness of autumn before the wind blows. This refers to a state of strong perception. For example, when I practice swordsmanship, that state is also called "intention," or "sword intention."

As for the internal gong, it is said that even a feather cannot be added, and flies and insects cannot land. This means that when the internal gong reaches a certain level, it can automatically generate protective qi.

"You mean, Gu Mo has already reached this level?" Yan Sanniang asked in surprise, "I'm afraid there aren't many internal martial arts masters of this level in the entire Linjiang County, right?"

"Not just the masters of internal strength, but all martial arts masters, who have reached this level, there are no more than ten of them combined."

……

Yan Sanniang acted quickly and soon arranged a carriage, which was fully equipped with spare clothes, dry food, and other necessary items for the trip.

Gu Mo sat in the carriage.
Gu Chudong was responsible for driving and headed towards Zhushan County.

Zhushan County is one of the eleven counties under the jurisdiction of Linjiang County. It is located in a relatively remote area and belongs to the most marginal area of ​​Linjiang County, about five hundred miles away.

Fortunately, both Gu Mo and Gu Chudong have been traveling around the country for many years and are used to sleeping in the open air, so their journey is not affected. The only thing is that Gu Mo cannot ride a horse and can only take a carriage, which is much slower and the distance is much longer. Also, because the road surface is not good, it takes about three days to travel.

However, the weather was not good.
In the evening of the next day, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Gu Chudong quickened his pace and finally found a shed in the mountains when the rain fell. It should have been built by nearby hunters specifically for emergencies.

Gu Chudong immediately covered the carriage with oilcloth to prevent it from being soaked by the rain, then tied the horse under a tree and took Gu Mo into the house.

Just lit the fire,
There was a sound of horse hooves and noise outside, and it seemed that a lot of people came.

Gu Chudong immediately grasped the Tang sword, and then he heard a loud voice coming from outside: "Friends inside, we are from the Changfeng Escort Agency, and we are passing by here on a convoy. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to come in and rest and avoid the rain?"

Gu Chudong got angry when she heard about Changfeng Escort Agency.

The brother and sister were unjustly expelled by the Changfeng Escort Agency, and it was such a coincidence that they met here.
