Creation Color Master

Chapter 380: Searching for the Forest

According to Fan Qixuan, if you want to find the weapon refining master, you need to go through Fuyang Gate, look east; cross three mountains and you will see dead trees; go west and you will see the Forest of Steles; when fog rises, a strange man will appear.

Chu Mo even asked him to explain it to him before he understood the meaning.

What Chu Mo couldn't understand was why a weapon refiner from a stonemason lineage would hide in such a remote place.

The description of the weirdo in the jingle is quite apt.

Yang Jiye and Sarliang came back, holding a great magical treasure in their hands, which they took from the elder of the Xie family.

Yang Jiye came to Chu Mo and said, "My Lord, I have already found out everything. It's all just a coincidence."

"The man behind the Ghost King Sect is an ambitious person. He wants to develop and expand the Ghost King Sect and carve off a state as the Ghost King Sect's base. Since there is a prince in the east, south, and north, he chose the west as his target and chose Haozhou."

"At the beginning of last year, King Xianyang happened to issue an order in Yunzhou to wipe out the Ghost King Sect. So the people behind the Ghost King Sect used the strategy of escaping from the shell, sacrificed some useless pawns, abandoned their territory in Yunzhou, and sneaked into Haozhou."

"This is also the reason why we encountered the Ghost King Sect in Haozhou."

Chu Mo nodded. Fortunately, it was just a coincidence. If the people of the Ghost King Sect were spread across all the states in Xiayang, wouldn’t it be very similar to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the previous life?

The thing he was worried about did not happen, so Chu Mo asked, "Do you know the identity of the leader of the Ghost King Sect?"

Yang Jiye shook his head and said, "I don't know. This person is very mysterious. Even core members like him have only seen him a few times. Every time he is hidden under a black robe."

"And ever since he did not move away with the Ghost King Sect and returned to the Xie Family to become a clan elder, he has cut off contact with the Sect Master."

Chu Mo nodded and said with a smile: "This matter has come to an end first. Now the members of the Ghost King Sect in Haozhou have been besieged by the secret guards led by Li Ru. They have almost disappeared. Even their sect leader, Li Ru needs to pay more attention to them."

"Rub--Rub--Rub"

Six figures appeared around Chu Mo and said respectfully, "Six sword slaves greet the lord. The mission has been completed and we are here to report."

As he said this, he handed the harvest to Chu Mo.

In order to facilitate their movements this time, Chu Mo specifically asked them to bring the Sumeru Boundary Stone with them.

Duan Shui stepped forward and handed a separate storage bag to Chu Mo, saying, "My lord, this is the evidence we collected that the Black Tiger Gang is colluding with the local governor. My lord will know it at a glance."

Chu Mo stood up with a smile and said, "Let's leave these interesting things to look at on the way. Let's go find someone first."

According to the content of the jingle, Chu Mo finally successfully climbed over three low mountains, and at the same time, he had almost finished looking at the evidence he had collected.

Although the Black Tiger Gang has been active in Juanye County for many years, it has been supported by the prefect Li Wei behind the scenes. They are merely tools used by Li Wei to amass money and eliminate dissidents. The gang leader Li Qingshan has always been firmly controlled by Li Wei.

Chu Mo also saw a familiar name, Geng Jinbiao.

No wonder he could sit on the position of the Lord of Baekje City. It turned out that he was an undercover agent planted in the Black Tiger Gang by the governor Li Wei.

He released Geng Jinbiao, which means that Chu Mo's true identity might have been successfully reported to Li Wei.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo couldn't help but smile. Things were becoming more and more interesting, and his previous ideas were becoming easier to implement.

One is the Xie family, the overlord who dominates Fuyang City and does all kinds of evil; the other is the Li family, the family of the prefect Li Wei who controls Tianyi City. Wouldn't it be interesting to let them fight to the point of mutual destruction?

So, Chu Mo handed the storage bag containing the evidence to the Six Sword Slaves, and asked them to find the Prefect Li Wei to convey his intentions.

Chu Mo just wanted Li Wei to take action to destroy the Xie family. As long as it was done, he would not pursue any issues with him.

Chu Mo believed that Li Wei was a smart man, and when he saw the evidence handed to him by the Six Sword Slaves, he would make the right choice.

After arranging everything, Chu Mo touched the withered tree that stood tall in the open space and murmured, "The next step is to head west."

After taking a look at Yao Guangxiao who was standing behind him holding the little girl's hand, Chu Mo identified the direction and moved forward.

Although the mountain is low, there are many ancient trees. The surrounding ancient trees are lush and leafy, and the dense leaves block the sunlight, preventing it from penetrating and shining on the earth. So it appears dim and the forest environment is very humid.

In the dense forest, there are mostly dead grass and fallen leaves underfoot, which also provides a natural habitat for many poisonous insects.

"Crunch--"

Chu Mo raised his foot and saw a red-backed centipede lying dead at his feet.

The red-backed centipede is a very common monster. It has a weak cultivation level and a red-backed centipede. It likes to live in dark and humid environments. The only thing it has that can attack you is its venom. Once bitten, your skin will feel a burning pain, as if it were burned.

Chu Mo looked at the soft fallen leaves under his feet, seemed to remember something, leaped forward, and landed to the side.

The next moment, dense swarms of red-backed centipedes emerged from the raised leaves and crawled quickly towards Chu Mo.

The Flame Scaled Fire Beast standing on Salliang's shoulder looked at him with contempt, then spat out a mouthful of Scaled Flame Fire. Immediately, densely packed red-backed centipedes died under the flames and turned into ashes.

The raised bag of leaves on the ground was the nest of the red-backed centipede. Chu Mo accidentally stepped into it, triggering the red-backed centipede's instinct to guard the nest, and they launched an attack.

To bypass this place, for the sake of his own safety, Chu Mo let Yang Jiye rush forward and serve as the vanguard.

Along the way, Chu Mo also encountered various monsters such as the two-winged Tibetan bee and the ghost-faced moth, and also harvested some honey.

As he walked along, Chu Mo found that the surrounding environment became even darker. Looking far into the dense forest, a wisp of mist seemed to be rising from below.

We kept going west like this, and I didn't know how long we had been walking, but we never saw the forest of steles mentioned in the jingle.

Chu Mo even began to doubt whether the rhyme was true.

After climbing over another mountain and arriving at the foot of the mountain, I saw that the trees growing around it had changed. A tree called Yinlingguaibai was growing here.

This evergreen plant releases a special smell that has the effect of dispelling poisonous insects and monsters, so it is often planted around cemeteries.

Walking into the forest of eerie cypress trees, you will soon see a forest of steles appearing before your eyes.

There were half-human-high stone tablets carved from black granite, and even names were carved on them. Chu Mo came to a stone tablet and read softly, "The tomb of my fellow clan member, Mo Yun."

Looking up, there were probably hundreds of stone tablets standing here. Chu Mo looked around carefully and found that the names of the Mo family were engraved on all the stone tablets.

Just as Chu Mo was exploring the surrounding stone tablets, a large amount of fog suddenly surged out from the surroundings.

"Hahaha, it's this aura that I will never forget in my life. Xie Wuxiang, you finally found me?"

I saw an old man wearing coarse cloth, with disheveled hair and looking a little crazy running out of the fog.

His behavior was strange. As soon as he came out, he stared at Chu Mo with a pair of eyes full of resentment. From his eyes, Chu Mo felt a sense of hatred with a deep blood feud.

Chu Mo, who didn't understand why, felt that his title of weirdo was well-deserved.
