Lin Mo was stunned and glanced at Sun Xinglie subconsciously.
"It was Tang Xiaozi who told me about the situation at that time. It has nothing to do with Xiao Suntou."
As Gu Deshan spoke, he glared at Sun Xinglie fiercely, causing him to quickly lower his head.
This kid is really stupid. He has no idea when he should be loyal and when he shouldn't. If he hadn't asked Tang Hai, he would have neglected this matter.
Lin Mo was a little embarrassed when he saw this and quickly changed the topic:
"To say it's a connection, it's better to say it's a bit of a conflict."
As he said that, he told everything about what happened in Dazen Mountain.
"So, you saved that girl Xu Ruyi?"
After saying this, Gu Deshan looked at Lin Mo with a surprised expression.
Some time ago, Xu Ruyi went to the Dazen Temple to worship Buddha, but there was a lot of rumors that she was attacked when she returned.
You must know that according to his description, the situation at that time was critical. If he hadn't happened to meet a strong man to help him on the way, it is impossible to say that this pearl of the Xu family would have been robbed.
And because of this incident, the Xu family even had more than a dozen heads chopped off.
"But that's not right. Why does the Universal Sect dare to provoke the Xu family in Ningyang? Just with a few Dharma Protector seeds?"
Gu Deshan pulled out a chair next to him, motioned for Lin Mo to sit down, and muttered.
Now everything is connected.
From the preparations to kidnap Xu Ruyi in Dachan Mountain, to the supply team entering the mountain to ambush, to the self-immolation incident in Ningyang City.
Gu Deshan even suspected that the interception of the collective supply route of the three families a few days ago was related to this.
These actions come one after another, all indicating that there will be a big move.
And the purpose is Xu?
But how dare they?
Based on a piece of unfounded news, the old patriarch Xu was seriously injured?
You must know that the surrounding counties of Ningyang are on guard and responding to the situation, and they are connected with each other. In addition, the commander-in-chief Zhou Ruyang is still sitting in the army to guard against Xiaoxiao. How can it be coveted by a cult?
He couldn't figure it out.
"Is it possible that the Universal Religion has someone strong to support it?"
Lin Mo on the side suddenly said.
"Impossible. Zhou Shengjun is on alert all around. Several people with names in the Universal Cult have left criminal records on him. It doesn't make sense to want to attack Ningyang all the way without any news."
Gu Deshan shook his head and smiled, looking unconcerned.
When people pass by, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their voices.
The Universal Religion is actually not very active in Huaizhou. The main forces are engaged in rebellion in Yuzhou. It is said that its leader, Dharma King, two envoys and other important figures are stationed in the rebel base there. It is simply nonsense to want to attack Ningyang. talk.
At this point, Lin Mo really couldn't find any point to refute.
"However, it must have a purpose to stir up trouble and trouble. Now its purpose can only fall into two points.
One is Ningyang City and the other is Feihu Ridge. "
Gu Deshan continued his analysis.
But in the end, I still couldn't think of any means that Universalism could use.
You need to know that with absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are false.
Nowadays, just be careful.
He shook his head, came back to his senses, and looked at Lin Mo who was sitting there drinking tea.
"By the way, I heard that your boy rejected my little grandson just because of this. You are quite cunning, but I like you. Why don't you become my disciple?"
He suddenly said.
"I just discussed it with you for so long just to reassure you, how about it?
Please note that if you follow me, there will be no shortage of resources and skills. In this one-third-acre land in Ningyang, your words will be counted and your benefits will be indispensable. "
He truly admired Lin Mo.
Therefore, after learning from Sun Xinglie that he wanted to leave Ningyang, he made a plan and found an excuse to elicit what he just said.
Lin Mo was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Gu Deshan suddenly changed the topic from talking about Universalism to recruiting disciples.
For a moment, he was indeed a little moved, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still shook his head:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu. I left Ningyang this time not only because of the universal religion, but also to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan. I will rarely return to Ningyang in the future."
He told the truth with a wry smile.
"Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan?"
Gu Deshan was stunned, "Where is your ancestral home?"
It is not easy for a family to leave a genealogy and spread its branches in these troubled times.
"The Lin family in Linyi Township." Lin Mo said.
"Is your father Lin Yuanshan?"
When Gu Deshan heard this, he frowned and suddenly said.
"Do you know Mr. Gu and my father?" Lin Mo asked.
He didn't expect that Gu Deshan could say Father Lin's name in one sentence.
"Haha, back then your father was angry with your grandfather and dragged his family out of Linyi Township all of a sudden, which caused a lot of trouble."
Gu Deshan smiled.
"Your father is the only one with Lin's blood flowing outside, and he happened to be in Ningyang for a period of time back then, so I naturally guessed him."
"Back then, for some unknown reason, he provoked the notorious Black Devil Bandit and was hunted down for nearly half a year. After narrowly escaping with his life, he disappeared.
Even when Zen Master Qingye of the Great Zen Temple killed the Black Evil bandits, he did not show up. I thought he had left Ningyang long ago, but I didn't expect that he was still here all these years, and even his son was so old. "
Gu Deshan looked at Lin Mo and recalled.
"In this case, it makes sense for you to choose to go back to Lin Yi."
He sighed inwardly.
With Lin Mo's talent, the Lin family is probably the next generation to carry the cauldron, and he is not qualified to compete for the next Lin family.
Compared with holding the power of the clan at that time, worshiping him as Gu Deshan's teacher is indeed nothing.
"In this case, I won't force it. This time you have helped me earn enough face with Wang Laogui. I originally wanted to accept you as my disciple, so I found another way to compensate you. But now that it doesn't work, why don't you make a request and I'll do my best. promise."
Gu Deshan pondered for a while, looked at Lin Mo, and said slowly.
Lin Mo's heart moved, he remembered his original thought, and said it softly with some embarrassment.
Gu Deshan took a deep look at Lin Mo and finally nodded.
…………
The second day.
After the medicinal spring competition, it is time to collect medicinal springs.
Medicine Spring is located in a place called Medicine Spring Valley.
Naturally, it was not named this at first. Later, the medicinal spring was discovered and passed on to ten people and hundreds of people, and it became the Medicine Spring Valley. As time went by, the previous name was obscured.
A group of people were galloping in the mountains.
Xu Linmo, Li Yuanze and a few others, plus Sun Xinglie who led the team;
The Wang family is composed of Wang Dong and several other outstanding members of the Wang family, and the leader of the team is another martial artist.
A group of people took advantage of the bright sky this morning to go out under the moonlight. They got up very early, but no one felt sleepy at all, and everyone looked excited.
Longshan medicinal spring is used to cleanse the meridians and cut the marrow, and to build the foundation and cultivate the talents. It can be regarded as a legend among the three famous families in Ningyang.
In the past years, after taking a bath in the medicinal spring, the disciples' talents have become much stronger. What's more, they have used it to break through the realm and give people endless reveries.
"After climbing over the camel mountain in front, you can see Yaoquan Valley."
Wang's leading master was named Wang Biao. Seeing everyone's excitement, as if he saw himself when he was young, he spoke.
Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little excited after hearing this.
For others, this medicine spring may only serve to solidify the foundation and improve some talents, but giving it to him is not ordinary. There is no chance that the second talent will be opened in advance.
The first talent was born with divine power, which allowed him to kill a martial artist with a burst of divine power in just a few months. He couldn't help but not have expectations for the second talent.
But as the saying goes, if you look at the mountain and run to death, you will die.
Although they climbed over this hump and arrived at Yaoquan Valley, in fact, even though a group of people worked hard, they still continued to attack for nearly half an hour.
In front of you, there is a zigzag-shaped valley, hidden between two mountains. The passage is quite small. If you are not careful, you will most likely be overlooked among the lush grass.
It was exactly noon at this time, and the sun happened to be shining high above our heads, illuminating the shadows of the trees around us like blue smoke.
Just standing at the mouth of the valley, a sweet medicinal fragrance blows to my nose with the wind.
A group of people walked into the valley.
The fragrance of wind medicine is stronger, but it is not boring. On the contrary, it makes people relaxed and happy, refreshing and very comfortable.
"That's the medicinal spring."
Wang Biao pointed deep into the valley.
Everyone looked in the direction indicated and saw a golden light.
Looking carefully, a small lake looks sparkling in the sunlight.
"Before Yaoquan Valley was discovered by us, this time of year was the most lively time for the beasts in Dalong Mountain."
Sun Xinglie rarely spoke.
He and Wang Biao looked at each other, took out a small powder bag from their arms, and shook out the light yellow granular powder at the mouth of the small valley.
This is beast-repelling powder, which is made from high-grade beast king excrement and various plants that mountain beasts hate. It can effectively repel beasts.
As soon as the powder hit the ground, a strange pungent smell was emitted into the air, causing everyone to wrinkle their noses.
Seeing this, both of them laughed.
"The medicinal spring is not only useful for human warriors, it is also very attractive to mountain beasts. If we don't pour some beast-repelling powder, it won't take long for countless mountain beasts to gather outside the valley."
Li Yuan explained from the side.
Naturally, he has done enough homework when he comes here.
Lin Mo nodded and said nothing. He just looked curiously at the powder that was constantly dissolving on the ground, analyzing the ingredients in his mind based on the medicinal scriptures he had learned.
"This beast-repelling powder was refined by two families based on an ancient book a few years ago. It is said to be the inheritance of the ancient beast-controlling sect.
Just like in the past, at this time, if the three families did not send four or five dedicated warriors, they would not be able to defend it. "
Wang Dong on the side suddenly explained.
Lin Mo nodded and then glanced at him.
This guy seemed to have recovered well from his injuries. Seeing Lin Mo's gaze, he smiled and nodded in response.
Lin Mo was speechless.
I really can't bear to think that just yesterday I beat him until he vomited blood, and today I'm just talking and laughing.
Soon, Sun Xinglie and Wang Biao finished sprinkling the animal-repelling powder. Sure enough, the originally fragrant medicinal fragrance disappeared, and the Yaoquan Valley became no different from an ordinary valley.
"Let's go. It's getting late. It's time for the medicinal spring to come out, so don't waste the time."
Sun Xinglie gave orders.
Everyone rushed quickly and headed directly to the depths of the valley.
Soon we arrived at the medicinal spring.
What comes into view is an extremely clear lake, but if you look carefully, you can barely notice that there is a touch of milky white rippling in the lake water.
The innermost part is a square of bluestone in the shape of a stone platform, with mottled cracks like knife carvings.
A bright white luster can be seen faintly in the seams.
When we got here, the strange smell of the animal repellent powder could no longer suppress the fragrance of the medicinal spring. The elegant fragrance was lingering above the lake. Just smelling it made me feel comfortable all over.
"The time is right! It's here!"
Sun Xinglie suddenly spoke.
At this time, Wang Biao had already dropped the thin tube-shaped nets on the bluestone platform.
At the end of the net is a vessel as big as a fist.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sun suddenly shone brightly, and a beam of light fell on the stone platform, making the entire stone platform shine.
Immediately afterwards, a glistening white luster occupied the stone platform, a ticking sound came from the vessels, and the lake glowed with a milky white halo.
Lin Mo couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It is truly a gift of destiny, with a beautiful bell spirit.
