The dense forest outside the Candle Grassland.
The dense dark clouds in the sky dispersed without knowing when, and the sunshine fell one after another, covering the land for the first time in a long time.
Lin Mo's dragon transformation state slowly returned to his normal body shape. His face, which was originally fair due to the last transformation, now looked even paler, with two blood and tear marks in between.
At this time, he had long hair shawl, and the clothes on his body had long been torn. He was casually wearing a black robe, and his rock-like muscles were exposed in the air. He had long been used to the somewhat blurred vision.
Power has a price.
If it were Lin Yuantian who spent such a long time squandering Buddha's virtual appearance, he would probably have to lie in bed for several months.
Compared to others, thanks to his powerful root blood and martial arts eyes, Lin Mo could completely accept this temporary consequence.
He walked to the center of the giant pit and slowly picked up a string of blood-stained bones and skeleton bracelets. Its feel was the same as the white pillar before.
This is probably the most precious treasure in Du Tianxiong's hands.
Otherwise, like himself and other long objects on his body, he would have been smashed to pieces in the fierce bombardment.
Lin Mo stuffed handfuls of the refined blood healing elixirs into his mouth like jelly beans, chewing them quickly, feeling the rapid recovery of his long-lost energy and blood.
This is the first time after the battle with the Beast Tide that he has fully activated the Buddha's virtual phase and entered various states at the same time.
After all, in the face of Du Tianxiong's weird Tianxin state method, since a single attack is not easy to hit, he simply suppressed it with firepower.
And the results did not disappoint him.
The complete Buddha's virtual appearance seems to correspond to the saying that appearance arises from the heart, and the law is the self-nature.
Its strength is determined by many aspects. Roughly speaking, it is based on the comprehensive bonus of the warrior's physique, qi and blood, mental strength, and other things.
This is also the reason why his Buddha's virtual appearance is more than ten feet tall.
But is this the strength of the three master realms?
The energy that has been sublimated through the three passes of Xiaoyao has almost become its essence.
Without the same level of will power to counteract, even if an ordinary martial artist wears treasured armor, it will be as thin as paper and will break with a poke.
Not to mention all kinds of strange secret techniques...
Sure enough, cross-border conquests become more difficult the further you go.
Realm is undoubtedly the real foundation.
It should be better when he achieves the state of the six internal organs, and even the same mental energy can penetrate the five internal organs, and the whole body is completed, and achieves the state of a master.
I wonder if by then... he will be able to kill people like Du Tianxiong like a chicken...
After Lin Mo finished thinking about it, he looked around and checked that nothing was missing. He found a bamboo hat and put it on, and then took out a special spice bottle from the empty stone ring.
The bottle cork was opened, and a small insect with four wings like an ant buzzed out.
Its name is Incense Erosion Insect, and it is fed and grown by his specially made incense. It is the treasure obtained after fishing in Baoguang Temple and killing Wanhua and others outside the city some time ago. It was formed after his own transformation.
Compared with ordinary people's sense of smell, as an insect, its sense of smell is stronger and its search range is wider.
From Du Tianxiong's words, he should have divided his forces into two groups, continuing to track Xu along the way, and seeking revenge on him along the way.
In this case, in order to avoid accidents, it is best to catch up and check.
Save people to the end, send Buddha to the West, this is all he can do.
Soon, the fragrant insect identified the direction and flapped its wings to rush in one direction.
Following the insect traces at the end of the forest, there was a bang, and the whole person disappeared on the spot.
Soon, there was nothing in this devastated jungle except for deep pits of different sizes.
A few hours later, we were in a dense forest dozens of miles away.
"Did you hear anything?"
The one-eyed man frowned and looked at the person beside him.
The two were running quickly.
But the next moment, without waiting for the other person to reply, he felt a chill in his heart, a sense of depression came over him, and a strong sense of emptiness accompanied by a slight dizziness.
"Enemy attack! Poisonous! Be careful to hold your breath!"
The one-eyed man immediately shouted loudly, and habitually found a giant tree to rely on to reduce his exposure. However, before he finished speaking, a figure wearing a bamboo hat suddenly appeared beside him.
He struck out with a light palm. His palm was so huge that it was like a millstone, and it covered the strong man in one fell swoop.
Its conditioned reflex is to fight back.
Then.....
boom!
Brutal thunder and lightning illuminated the quiet jungle, and large areas of blood splashed everywhere.
The two arms of the one-eyed man were directly smashed to pieces, and the castration mark of the giant palm remained intact on his forehead.
All that was left in his hands was a lifeless corpse.
The big man in a bamboo hat turned around, revealing a pale face.
It was Lin Mo.
Since he was fighting for time, he used almost all of his strength except for the Buddha's virtual form.
Throwing the body aside, the figure disappeared and rushed towards the other person.
He was obviously shocked and frightened. Immediately his energy exploded, covering his whole body and shooting away like electricity into the distance.
It's just that ordinary grandmasters can't match Lin Mo based on explosive speed alone.
However, after a few hundred meters of fierce fighting, the last person was caught up.
Lin Mo's pale skin glowed red, and his whole body seemed to be dressed in fire clothes.
Bang!
During the pursuit, a palm hit the man's head, forcing his head into his chest, and then his chest exploded, spewing out large amounts of blood and broken bones.
Lin Mo glanced at the blood stains on his body. The red light on his body slowly disappeared. He quickly collected the corpses. Then he looked at the two tattered corpses and sighed softly.
Sprinkle the animal-attracting water in a familiar manner.
After everything was done, he leaped onto the tallest giant tree in a few steps.
The fragrant insect in the hand is still scurrying around anxiously, stubbornly trying to break through the palm in one direction.
Lin Mo stood still in the tree crown and looked in the direction the bug was pointing.
Apart from the group of pursuers, the only ones left who were tainted with the scent were the Xu family.
And he has done everything he should do, and this trip can be said to be extremely successful.
So...goodbye my friend.
Lin Mo looked into the distance. After a few breaths, he suddenly jumped down like a big bird and galloped towards Huaiping.
Now that everything was over, it was time to return to his duties. Now that he had no worries, he decided to abandon the complicated worldly affairs after his return, concentrate on practicing wholeheartedly, and wait for the assessment of the Lingtai Sect.
After all, as he said, in an era of increasing disputes, strength is the only way forward.
Whether it is to protect family members and friends, or to keep oneself safe, one can only rely on strength, one's own strength.
............
In the forty-eighth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was the beginning of September.
Huaiping City is in chaos, and a large number of beasts are screaming.
A black Buddhist demon made a blood sacrifice in order to achieve a breakthrough, affecting tens of thousands of people and killing thousands. Huaizhou deputy army leader Zhou He took action, seriously injuring two people and curbing the riot.
In the same month, there was a riot in Taizhou, and the boundary area of Yinxu Lake was broken. The lake was opened for hundreds of thousands of miles. The leader of Huangtian Sect personally took charge of Yinxu Lake. The current Huaihou was killed in a sneak attack, and the old Huaihou was seriously injured. Huaihou's eldest son Huai had no time to succeed. He declared that the incident was the work of the Zhou royal family, and killed Richang, the shepherd and guard of Taizhou. Taizhou was in chaos.
Huaiping Mansion, Si Ma Fang, Huaiping Qingbai Restaurant
A quiet villa.
In the courtyard, there are secluded bamboo huts, the sound of clear springs, and the faint scent of sandalwood floating in the air. The smell of it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Lin Mo and Xiao Zhengyang were sitting opposite each other. On the table was a box of different shapes of primeval stones.
Not far away, there are specialized shopkeepers and pharmacists who are counting the elixirs and calculating the ledgers.
Not long after, the shopkeeper dressed in rich clothes bowed his head and walked to Xiao Zhengyang's side. After saying a few words softly, he left quietly.
"Everything has been accounted for, can you collect the Yuan Stone on the table?"
Xiao Zhengyang smiled and said.
Lin Mo didn't speak, just nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and put the wooden box containing the Yuan Stone into the ring.
"You, we have this relationship now, and we are still so different, which makes me a little uncomfortable."
Xiao Zhengyang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this.
After the Taihuai River route was opened, the transaction between the two continued.
Lin Mo produced the medicine, and Blue Split Whale Trading Company was responsible for selling the money, and then provided channels for Yuanshi, raw materials, and intelligence.
Generally speaking, in Xiao Zhengyang's view, with the current relationship between the two of them, it is completely possible to get credit, advance payment, etc. However, Lin Mo is very serious, always pursues the principle of clearing money and goods, and does things very cleanly, which actually makes him a little scared. Here is today’s joke.
"It's just to avoid trouble. It's good for you and me. It's just a habit. You don't have to think too much."
Lin Mo shook his head and explained.
It had only been two days since he returned to Zhuchang Prairie, and coincidentally, he also missed the strange sound of the beast.
Knowing that it was the Black Buddhism who was wanted by the whole city, I felt relieved and felt a lot calmer.
Apart from the basic practice, these two days were extremely fulfilling.
Because of the extremely bad nature of this incident, basic staff like them are very busy. In addition to basic statistics of people's losses and writing various meeting minutes, the number of external inspections has also increased a lot.
Especially the Taihuai Ferry, which is now checked almost every day.
The situation in the Household Registration Department is even worse. Due to the chaos in Taizhou, more and more people are taking boats to Huaizhou, so the Household Registration Department even set up a temporary branch at the ferry to be responsible for household registration registration.
However, not everyone can successfully register in Huaizhou. It is said that a points system is being implemented. Points are calculated based on the martial arts level and various life skills, and registration is only allowed after reaching a certain standard.
Otherwise, the only option is to send it outside the city, or pay entry fees at regular intervals.
Even so, there has been a lot of excitement in the city recently.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhengyang in front of him:
"What is the situation in Taizhou? Before, they were still implementing military control and building a new government. How come it collapsed in less than a month?"
He was a little confused.
Now he is not a novice in cultivation, so he naturally understands the principle of equating realm with status.
As for the biggest thing that happened recently, it was naturally the so-called Huaihou of Taizhou, where the state and herdsmen died together.
There is no doubt that such events must have a real impact on the current situation, so it is impossible to know too much.
Xiao Zhengyang, who was still drinking, fell silent and organized a conversation:
"I actually don't know the real situation in Taizhou, but one thing is certain. The current Huaihou, no, to be precise, the previous Huaihou was born from Yinxu Lake, which is the largest boundary in Taizhou. Killed by a foreigner named Da Ri Zhenjun,
It is said that at that time, the black sun rose from Yinxu Lake and evaporated the water of Wanli Lake for several meters. The three-legged golden crow crossed the sun and suddenly appeared in the sky pass on the other side of Yinxu Lake. Half of Huaihou's body was broken on the spot. , returned to Huaihou Mansion, and passed away not long after. "
When Xiao Zhengyang said this, his tone was full of regret.
In troubled times, even the real romantic figures who ride on six dragons and sit high on the mountain tops will inevitably fall into the dust and turn into loess, how can they not make people sigh.
"As for whether it was Wangjing's secret hand, there is no evidence for this, but judging from the motive alone, it is indeed possible. After all, who was the first Huaihou to divide the territory and establish a government? "
"Sure enough, internal friction is inevitable no matter what time..." Lin Mo was speechless.
He already knew how powerful it was, but even so, the external troubles were getting worse and the internal strife was endless, which only made people extremely worried about the future of the Chi County world.
After all, he understands the principle that if there is no skin left, the hair will be attached.
When a real disaster strikes, no one can stay away.
As it was said in a book called Fengshen Yanyi in the previous life, how to extricate yourself when you are in a calamity? At that time, I am afraid that the beautiful life will truly cease to exist.
"Don't be so pessimistic. You haven't really set foot on the battlefield of the Realm. After the real experience, you will understand that most people can actually distinguish between right and wrong. After all...after all, I was buried in that battlefield. Waiting for too many ancestors.”
Xiao Zhengyang drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. When he wanted to pour it again, the pot was empty and he said without interest.
"Brothers are jealous of each other, so they can resist their insults?" Lin Mo smiled and said no more.
Doesn't this illustrate the power over there?
Only when the external crisis reaches a certain level can internal conflicts be transferred.
"By the way, what's the situation over there, in Changhe City?" he asked.
"Chang He... You did make a bit of a fuss this time... it was too big... The people over there have probably guessed the truth, but they are very calm and look like they are no longer involved." When Xiao Zhengyang said this, when he looked at Lin Mo and sighed, there was a hint of awe that he was not even aware of.
"With such a tragic result, the other party never thought of revenge?" Lin Mo asked back.
You must know that he really went on a killing spree last time, and eight grandmasters died in his hands. This number is close to half of the He family, which is equivalent to destroying half of his accumulation over thousands of years in one fell swoop.
How could such a blood feud be ended so easily?
"What are you thinking about? The other party must have thought about it, but do you think you have the strength? Sometimes, for big families, in addition to considering face, they must be pragmatic and stop losses in time."
Xiao Zhengyang's words woke Lin Mo up.
Really speaking, if Du Tianxiong is strong enough to rank among the top three of the He family in Changhe City, seriously speaking, he should not be worried about the He family's revenge. It should be the He family that is worried about his revenge.
After all, there is a strong man who can kill Grandmaster Perfection lurking in the dark. Who can not be afraid? Who can not be afraid?
It can't be that the ancestor of the He family is lurking in all the activities of the He family, right?
'Have I reached this level without realizing it? Lin Mo was silent.
But it's not enough.
He thought about a series of recent events, his eyes became firm, and he drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.
............
the other side.
Changhe City, He family.
White lanterns swayed in the wind.
He Jueyan sat on the Taishi chair, looking up at the full moon hanging in the night sky.
"Have the results come out?" he asked softly.
