Li Ao shook his head after hearing this and said: "What a cool guy, we spent a thousand yuan on this money today. I will throw away the rest for daily expenses and donate the remaining money to remote mountainous areas."
"Tch, do you think I believe it?"
Mo Lin rolled his eyes at Li Ao and said, "You are so deducted in school that you are not even willing to buy drinks, and you are not willing to eat meat."
"Now that you have such a sum of money, will you donate it to others? I wouldn't believe it even to death!"
Li Ao smiled helplessly and said casually: "You think I am willing to donate something."
"What? Is there anyone who is forcing you to donate?" Mo Lin said: "You are so powerful, who would dare to force you?"
Li Ao smiled again and said nothing.
Then, Mo Lin asked again: "Don't you still have a good solution for the Nine Yin Gathering Evil situation?"
Li Ao said: "Prescribe the right medicine. We have to investigate the source of this Nine Yin Gathering Evil situation, and why this second monster is causing trouble in Dongcheng Middle School."
Mo Lin nodded and said to Li Ao: "Brother Ao, can I ask you a question?"
Li Ao didn't think much and agreed readily: "Ask, I will definitely tell you everything!"
"Why did you want to learn Taoism in the first place? Do your parents agree with you learning this?"
Li Ao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
"Isn't it okay? Tell me about it. I happen to be curious too."
Li Ao thought for a while and said, "This is not a secret. I'll just tell you about it."
"My parents abandoned me when I was one year old. My master raised me single-handedly, and my master is a Taoist priest who is proficient in Maoshan Taoism."
"What!" Molin was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Why did your parents throw you away? You don't have any disabilities, you are a good person..."
After saying that, Molin glanced at the empty plate on the table and guessed: "You...your parents won't think you are too good at eating, right?"
"Smart!" Li Ao sighed and said, "My master told me about my parents. At the end of the last century, the Chinese people had not yet reached a well-off level, and every family's life was still very difficult."
"Because I was so good at eating, my parents couldn't afford to raise me, so they threw me away. Later, my master picked me up."
Li Ao's eyes dimmed a bit and he continued: "Master is very good to me. He is my parent. He doesn't mind me eating too much and takes good care of me."
"When I was seven years old, I learned Taoism from my master, and we traveled all over the country together. Along the way, I encountered many monsters, ghosts, monsters, and monsters, all of which were dealt with by my master."
"Even now, my master's name is famous in the Yin and Yang world, and it is even more famous among demons and monsters!"
"We fight until the end, and basically no monsters in the world dare to come out to cause chaos anymore."
The fact that a Maoshan Taoist priest could achieve such a great reputation and make countless demons and ghosts fear him is a testament to his ability.
Li Ao was high-spirited and talked a lot to Mo Lin in one breath. Mo Lin asked casually: "Brother Ao, can you tell me the name of your master?"
"You definitely don't know him. You are not from the Yin and Yang Realm." Li Ao waved his hand and said, "I can only tell you that my master's surname is Mao."
Seeing that Li Ao was unwilling to say more, and Mo Lin did not ask any more questions on this topic, he continued: "Brother Ao, since there were no demons and monsters at that time, why are there more of them now?"
"I can always see some ghosts wherever I go, but of course I'm basically not afraid of them now."
"Isn't your master planning to leave the mountain?"
Speaking of this, it seemed that he touched Li Ao's sadness. He wiped away his tears and took another sip of wine: "My master is dead!"
"When I was eleven years old, my master had stomach cancer. When he was diagnosed, it was already in the advanced stage. My master passed away not long after."
Seeing Li Ao's sad look, Mo Lin couldn't bear it and said, "Brother Ao, if you feel sad, don't say it, and don't think about it. It's all in the past."
Li Ao took another sip of wine and said, "It's okay, I'll keep telling you!"
"After my master died, these demons and ghosts were relieved, and many of them returned to the world to make trouble."
"In the past few years, I don't know why, people are no longer as simple and kind as before. People's hearts are gradually becoming greedy, jealous, and mercenary!"
"Nowadays, many temples and Taoist halls only aim to make profits. They don't understand Taoism at all, let alone a belief! It is a profession!"
"A profession solely for profit!"
Li Ao clenched his fists and said: "Trees have roots and water has sources. The rampant presence of demons and ghosts today is absolutely inseparable from the corruption of people's hearts!"
"I think it's the same this time. This resentful spirit must have suffered a great injustice during his lifetime. His resentment lingered for a long time after his death. In addition, it was only because of the Jiuyin Gathering Situation that he had the ability to be immortal!"
After listening to Li Ao's words, Mo Lin agreed. People nowadays are too utilitarian and can do whatever it takes to benefit themselves.
Li Ao stretched out and said, "That's all for today. I'll go get two rooms across the street and get some sleep. I'm still busy tomorrow."
…
Early the next morning, Maureen was woken up by the alarm clock. He yawned and got up to wash up.
He walked to Li Ao's room and knocked on the door. Mo Lin waited at the door for a long time and there was no movement.
Mo Lin thought to herself: "Isn't this kid not up yet?"
When Mo Lin took out his mobile phone and was about to call Li Ao, he saw a message sent to him by Li Ao:
"I'll take a step in advance. When you wake up, go back to school and contact me if you need anything!"
Seeing that Li Ao had left for something, Mo Lin did not stop at the hotel. He packed his things and returned to school.
Mo Lin arrived at the class as usual. As soon as he entered the class, he saw Fang Lan sitting in his seat with a sad face.
When she saw Mo Lin coming, she hurried over and said anxiously, "Where's Li Ao? Didn't he come with you?"
"No, I haven't seen him today." Seeing Fang Lan being so anxious, Mo Lin asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Fang Lan said anxiously: "Xiaoling...Xiaoling can't hold on any longer!"
"What's going on? Why can't you hold on?" Mo Lin's expression also changed and he said, "Wasn't she fine the day before yesterday?"
Fang Lan said: "I don't know, Lin Ling couldn't get out of bed just this night."
After hearing this, Mo Lin also had some guesses in his mind. He must have failed to get rid of the resentful spirit last night to scare the snake. Now the resentful spirit must be afraid of long nights and dreams, so it has accelerated its cannibalization of Lin Ling's mental power.
Fang Lan grabbed Mo Lin's arm and asked, "Didn't you kill the resentful spirit last night?"
