The next day, Chen Mo took the Tang Blade, wrapped its body in black cloth, tied it to his back, came to the village entrance, dug out the money box, took a sum of money from it, and went into the city.
He went to a merchant guild, found a clerk inside, and used pigskin in the proper measurements to make a sheath and buckle for the Tang Blade.
After the sheath was completed, Chen Mo headed to Wu Family Alley in the west of the city and knocked on the door of a courtyard at the alley's end.
After waiting for a moment, the door finally opened.
An old woman came out, and after sizing up Chen Mo with a glance, she said, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is this Wu Mountain's home?" Chen Mo asked politely.
The old woman did not answer but glanced at the handle of the blade exposed behind Chen Mo, her eyes showing alertness. "Who are you?"
Chen Mo cupped his hands to the old woman and said, "I am Chen Mo from Fu Ze Village, I have some business with Brother Wu."
