At this time, dozens of miles away from Huaiping City, there was a deep cave in the Taihuai Mountains.

Although it is located deep in the mountains, it is exceptionally clean and quiet.

The whistling mountain breeze blew by.

All the insects and beasts disappeared under the sun, leaving only the rustling of fallen leaves.

Horrifyingly abnormal.

The cave is dotted with white candles as thick as a child's arm. Under the flickering candlelight, strange-shaped stalactites cast strange shadows, twisting and squirming on the cave walls.

Keep moving forward.

The winding cave passage leads to a huge stone hall.

In the center of the hall is a huge banyan tree, dozens of meters high. Its lush crown connects to the dome above its head. Its lush branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun. Its blood-red roots hang down like rain. You can hear it in a trance. The sound of rattling roots.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen figures standing under the tree. Under the dim candlelight, the figures were dimly illuminated.

The leader was a fat man with a kind face, his hands clasped together, and his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was praying devoutly.

Who is it if it’s not Roshan?

Behind Roshan are groups of black Buddhist elites wearing black monk robes.

To be able to set foot here, in addition to a certain level of strength, you also need a firm heart towards the Tao.

Slowly, as Roshan prayed in a low voice, the believers behind him also began to sing in a low voice, and the voices converged:

"Tao...Tao...Tao..."

"Immortal...immortal...immortal..."

"If you sow a grain of wood in spring, harvest ten thousand trees in autumn, and use the trees to establish the Way, you will become an immortal!"

The sound grew louder and louder, a low growl slowly turning into a growl.

Suddenly a strong wind blew up in the cave, and the dense roots began to sway with the wind, making a popping sound. The wrinkled bark on the trunk had increasingly more intricate patterns, vaguely resembling a human face.

Red sap seeped from the wrinkled bark, as if it was blood.

Roshan, who originally had a kind smile, turned his smile crazy, and the corners of his mouth curved upward, as if they were about to split. He raised his hands high, and light green buds began to grow on his white and tender skin.

The same goes for everyone behind him.

A faint green mist arises from nowhere and hangs over the entire space.

There are indescribable black shadows lingering in it.

The voice gets quieter and quieter.

a long time.

The green mist dissipated.

Roshan collapsed on the ground with a satisfied look on his face, breathing heavily.

It can be clearly felt that the aura on his body is much stronger.

The other monks in black also looked happy, feeling the strength of their bodies and accepting this gift from an unknown place.

"Huh, sir, we're in a hurry over there, asking us to find a qualified person with spiritual roots as soon as possible."

A man in black clothes closest to Roshan had a pale face and three abscesses on his face, one on his forehead and two cheeks. His name was Ying Chang, and he reported in a low voice.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone is urging, they have already sensed movement over there." The smile on Roshan's face disappeared, he snorted and said angrily.

"How many complete seeds do we have now?" He said this, but still asked after all.

"It can probably support three sowings." Ying Chang lowered his head, "If we imagine that we held a spring plowing in Shuangquan last time, we can only say that it is barely enough."

"It's just hard to predict whether we can find the person with the spiritual root. After all, we haven't succeeded for so long."

He sighed.

"Elder, what on earth is this 'spiritual root'? Why do those people have to find it before they give up? Are you willing to pay such a price for it?"

Roshan raised his head and looked at the huge banyan tree in front of him.

At this time, the shadows of the trees are dancing, like spiritual trees.

Who knew that it only took less than three months for it to grow from a seed to now?

"No one is a fool. As far as I know, the 'spiritual roots' are over there, similar to our miraculous physiques and unparalleled talents.

The heights that such characters could reach if they had not fallen are beyond our imagination. "

he explained.

"Then let's help find..., won't something happen?" Ying Chang whispered.

"When a genius has not fully grown up, it is like a caterpillar that has not turned into a butterfly. No one can say how beautiful it is. Besides, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. What are you afraid of?"

Roshan said disdainfully.

"Just do a spring plowing. Let's put the area in Huaiping City. Don't you all want some movement? Then let's do a big one!"

"This...is in Huaiping? There are masters in the city, even great masters. If something happens...it won't be easy to explain over there, right?" The man with the abscess on his face, even though his heart was big enough, Some hesitation.

Nowadays, heavenly gates are being built in various regions. Families and sects in various regions have personnel quotas. Almost every day, there are destined masters and master martial arts people going there.

This kind of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, no, it is a matter of betrayal. If it is discovered, not to mention the nine clans implicated, I am afraid that anyone with any close relationship will be executed one by one.

I am afraid that even the person with a distinguished status will not take action to protect him when the time comes, but will have a greater chance of being silenced immediately.

"What are you afraid of? As mentioned above, when the seeds germinate, the movement is very small, and even the great master cannot detect it. Moreover, you want benefits but don't want to take risks. You and I are not the descendants of heaven. How can such a good thing happen?

As for that side..."

Roshan lowered his head, his face hidden in the shadows.

"Don't worry about that. I'm not his subordinate. Do as I say and I will be responsible for all the consequences."

"Yes!" Ying Chang's eyes narrowed and he clasped his fists in salute.

Soon he called a group of people and walked out of the cave.

Soon, Roshan was the only one left in the stone hall.

He staggered toward the banyan tree in the center, and was hit in the face by the beards that looked like human hands, but remained indifferent.

Finally, he walked to the tree and gently stroked the strange lines on the trunk.

There are three, six or nine levels of things, and there are high and low levels of people.

Some people are born with things that others cannot touch throughout their entire lives.

Some people's hearts are as high as the sky, but their lives are as thin as paper.

He hates doing things with a bloody body, but there is a saying that is true. How can a person... how can he be a dog all his life?

Just like a soldier who can only cross the river all year round, how can he feel refreshed?

He grabbed the red sap on the tree trunk, which was a little sticky, then rubbed his face vigorously, turned and left.

You can only be ruthless and risk your life.

............

At this time, Huaiping City and Unite New District.

A secluded house near a main road.

The furnishings of the house are very old, covered with a thick layer of dust, and have been unoccupied for at least several months.

Houses like this are not uncommon in Tuanjie New District. Most of them are owned by locals. There are new properties elsewhere, but these houses are left here waiting for demolition.

But at this time, the house that had been uninhabited for a long time had some different changes. There was a faint fragrance in the air, which directly suppressed the musty smell.

inside the house.

Lin Mo rested his chin on his hand and looked deeply, sitting on the pear blossom chair with half of the armrests broken.

"Aren't you going to tell me yet?"

he whispered.

At his feet were the bodies of two men.

His body was covered with several small holes the size of fingers. Warm blood flowed slowly, soaked in dust, and spread along the cracks in the floor.

Their pupils were dilated, their faces were black and blue, and the muscles on their cheeks were spasming, as if they had suffered great pain before they died.

"You...you are the devil..." Lan Xi lay on the ground in humiliation at this time, her vision blurred, but her consciousness was particularly clear because the other party had given her some kind of drug.

You can even feel the blood all over your body, slowly flowing out of your body with a feeble ticking sound.

This feeling of life slowly passing by is simply despairing.

Not to mention...

puff!

His thoughts were interrupted momentarily.

The body, which had long since lost strength, curled up subconsciously under the stress.

She turned her head with difficulty, and there was another bloody hole in her lower abdomen.

"You are the only one left this time. If you don't tell me, I will be very distressed.

So don't worry about your life being in danger, I promise to be extra careful. Lin Mo said softly.

As he spoke, he took back his fingers.

There were still drops of blood on it.

ah! ! ....Woo...

The next moment, there was an unpleasant scream, but it stopped abruptly before it lasted for a breath.

Because Lin Mo removed his jaw.

Looking at the woman who was curled up on the ground like an insect, rubbing the ground desperately, her whole body twitching, he nodded slightly.

The poison mixed with carrion grass and Yangjue flower is indeed effective.

Seriously speaking, both of them have healing effects, but when mixed together with some seasonings, a special function appears.

That is, it can cause people to feel extremely frightened physically and have difficulty breathing. It is like being bitten by insects and ants chewing the bones and muscles of the whole body.

This feeling is far beyond ordinary torture, and even the most mentally strong people cannot endure it.

It can be said to be an excellent means of torture to extract confessions.

It's about tea time.

The woman on the ground was as soft as mud, and her skin was bruised and bruised under her disheveled clothes.

She was breathing heavily and was so exhausted that she couldn't even adjust her clothes.

"I ask, you answer, explain things clearly, and I promise to give you a happy life. After all, living is not necessarily happy... You should understand."

Lin Mo stood up, looked down at the woman at his feet, and spoke sincerely, as if he was persuading someone to turn back.

"I...I said..."

Lan Xi seemed to recall her initial feeling and spoke intermittently, "Baoguang..., Black Buddha...Buddha..."

. Before he finished speaking, his face was filled with panic.

"no no...."

His body was shaking violently, his hands desperately grabbing the ground, and finally his head tilted, and light black blood flowed out from his seven orifices.

Lin Mo frowned and squatted down.

already dead.

But before the execution, he carefully inspected every corner of these people's bodies and found no poison between their teeth or anywhere else.

There is only one reason. These spies have been poisoned for a long time, but in a special way.

"interesting."

He stood up, sprinkled a large amount of colorless powder, and walked out of the house.

After a while, there were no traces in the house except for the faint scratches left on the bluestone.

..

On the main road.

As the main road in Huaiping, the street has a lot of people and is very lively.

There are special sidewalks on both sides of the road. This is a place where cars, horses and animals cannot set foot. Therefore, every few steps you take, you can see hawkers enthusiastically shouting and selling their products, and children chasing and running around shouting.

Lin Mo was walking on the sidewalk and bought a bunch of candied haws from a vendor selling candied haws.

He chewed the sweet and sour candied haws and walked leisurely on the street. Except that he was taller, he was no different from ordinary people.

It was completely different from the ruthless people who had just killed four people, men, women, old and young, and spared no one.

'Baoguang, Baoguang Avenue, Baoguangfang, or Baoguang Temple? What is the Black Buddha? Black Buddhism? '

Lin Mo walked through the crowd and headed towards his residence.

At the same time, I was walking and thinking.

The clues that can be obtained at this time are nothing more than these incomplete pieces of information, and these are the most relevant terms in the surrounding area.

At present, the most likely ones are Baoguang Temple and Black Buddhism.

After all, the former Baoguang Avenue is just a rough place name, located in Baoguangfang, where Baoguang Temple is also located.

Not to mention Black Buddhism.

It can be said that no one dares to use the word "Black Buddha" falsely. During this period, the momentum has become even greater, and it has made the headlines of "See you in Huaizhou" several times.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo quickly recalled the relevant information about the two in his mind.

Baoguangfang is also located in the inner ring of Huaiping, not far from Lingmiaofang. It is famous for its glazed and Baoji buildings that lead to the street.

Once the weather is very good, it has the reputation of "the precious light is shining, and the market is in the sky".

Baoguang Temple, on the other hand, is a master force. The abbots and abbots of the past generations have inherited the name of Baoguang. It has been passed down for a long time. It moved here from Yuzhou hundreds of years ago, and its strength is extraordinary.

As for Black Buddhism, it is a cult, similar to Universalism, but it was not as big as the latter before, and it has only recently begun to make some noise.

In short, they are not easy to deal with.

He sighed and quickened his pace.

The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, that's all.

From Dalong Mountain to here, he just wanted to reach Lingtai Sect safely, and he almost never did anything to cause trouble.

The only thing that could be said to be impulsive was beating up Jiang Jing and the other two people.

But in his opinion, even if he didn't take action that time and let it pass, he wouldn't be able to survive anywhere.

It goes without saying that sometimes even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you.

At this point, there are only two choices you can make, either solve the trouble or solve the person who caused the trouble.

Lin Mo casually broke off the candied haws sticks after eating them, threw them into the trash can, wiped the candy stains from the corners of his mouth, and strode forward.

.........

The largest club on Huaiping Street is the White Bird Club.

Wang Shouyi arranged his clothes in front of the glass mirror at the same height as the person, then picked up the club's special spices on the table and sprayed it briefly.

It is said that this thing is not cheap, and the owner of the club spent a lot of money to get it from a pharmacist friend.

The raw materials are various rare flower species, which are natural and non-irritating, and can give people the most natural fragrance.

In fact, in addition to the proper selection of people, this spice also contributed a lot to the White Bird Club's ability to become one of the top clubs in Huaiping.

It's almost time, he should go out.

The task is also simple, just to accompany him to drink and have fun. After all, the people who come and go in this club are all women with high status or strength.

People like this naturally need someone to accompany them when talking about things.

If you perform well during this period, in addition to doubling your salary, you can also get some tips. Sometimes the tips are higher than your salary.

It is said that two years ago, there was a senior who got a bottle of treasure elixir from a big boss because he had a sweet mouth. He directly broke through the realm of establishing a life without any side effects and truly reached the top.

It can be said that he has become a role model for Wang Shouyi and others.

Of course, it doesn't sound good to say it out loud.

But he doesn't feel ashamed, he doesn't steal or rob, he has hands and feet, he makes money on his own, and he's not shabby.

"I don't know when I will be able to break through the realm of destiny."

Wang Shouyi thought sadly.

But in a flash, he patted his face gently, trying to cheer up.

Because he was entertaining a big customer today, and the power behind him was amazing. This was the first time they met, and he wanted to leave a good impression.

He believed that with his own efforts, someone from a poor family could achieve great things.

Moreover, there are always many good people in the world.

For a moment, he thought of his elder brother Lin and the good sisters who had taken care of him all the way and were always kind and cheerful, and his heart was filled with strength.
