Huaiping City, Si Ma Fang.
It was evening and the sun was setting in the west.
It is already this time since we returned to Huaiping from Taihuai River.
Lin Mo was sitting at a noodle stall similar to Chongqing noodles, listening to the chatter and exchanges of people who also came to eat noodles, and the tip of his nose was filled with the peculiar aroma of spicy and numb noodles.
On calm days, the occasional heavy spicy stimulation can give people unexpected relaxation.
This is not the first time something like this happened today.
For a month, in addition to practicing martial arts, practicing sealing, and doing his daily duty of tapping and tapping, Lin Mo spent the rest of his time helping Xiao Zhengyang to kill some difficult enemies.
These people were all those who fled after the Taizhou Incident. In desperation, they went into the green forest, became bandits, and began to temporarily engage in robberies and encirclements.
Therefore, a new round of reshuffle has started in the already mixed field.
Under such circumstances, if a force does not have someone strong enough to support its appearance, sooner or later it will be submerged in the rolling tide, and will either choose to be annexed by others, or choose to annex others.
Forced by helplessness, Xiao Zhengyang had to turn to Lin Mo for help.
After Lin Mo took action, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Blue Split Whale branch in Huaizhou once again swallowed up several chambers of commerce, and its power became much stronger.
Xiao Zhengyang was reasonably good at life. After tasting the benefits and collecting a large amount of resources, he took the initiative to contact the headquarters in exchange for Yuanshi, which greatly accelerated Lin Mo's accumulation of talent beads.
But even Lin Mo was a little tired of the constant killing for a long time.
This is not one or two days like before, but as long as half a month.
The most important thing is that this kind of effortless killing can easily give people a sense of numbness and numbness towards life.
It makes people more clearly feel the irresistible helplessness under the general trend, the rolling tide.
There are many ways to solve this helplessness, but the simplest and most effective one is always to stop killing with killing and to stop punishment with punishment.
Soon, the noodles were served.
Lin Mo looked at the red noodle soup and the white noodles sprinkled with green onions. He took a few strong sniffs of the spicy taste. He felt calmer and began to take out his chopsticks, ready to eat.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt a strong figure appear on the seat opposite.
"Can I sit here?" said a thick voice.
Lin Mo raised his head and glanced around.
Opposite him was a middle-aged man in his forties.
His skin is fair and his facial features are sharp. Although he looks a little old, he can still see the charm of his youth. He is wearing a long gown of animal hair and his left hand is wrapped with a white bandage.
Even though he didn't speak, he still had an inexplicable power, and it was obvious that the man was in a high position.
This is the embodiment of moving Qi to nourish the body.
Of course, this kind of power is only limited to ordinary people. What Lin Mo really cares about is not his temperament, but the middle-aged man.
"Okay." He thought for a moment and nodded.
"Boss, here's some spicy noodles too." The middle-aged man smiled gently and said to the old man cooking the noodles, without appearing arrogant at all.
It didn't take long for the noodles to arrive.
The middle-aged man ate very quickly. He poured half a pot of vinegar on the noodles, picked up his chopsticks and started eating them. The appearance of his food did not match his clothes at all, but it did give him an air of human fireworks.
Finally, the noodles were finished.
Coincidentally, they both finished eating at almost the same time.
Each pays.
"You seem to know me?"
Just when Lin Mo turned around and was about to leave, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke and said with a smile.
"We do know each other." Lin Mo turned around and said calmly.
Yes, he knew the other party, and he even took the initiative to investigate.
The reason was naturally because of the letter of recommendation from the Beast Sect.
Yes, the owner of that extremely precious letter is the middle-aged man in front of you.
His name is Yun Tianhe, the head of the Yun family in Huaiping, the chief deacon of the outer sect of the Beast Sect, and the father of Yun Shiya.
It is said that his strength has already surpassed that of a master, and his status in the Beast Sect is not low. It can be said that he is famous.
He guessed the purpose of the other party's coming here, but he had already made up his mind and just took this opportunity to make a decision.
But just when Lin Mo was about to speak, Yun Tianhe took the lead and asked with a smile, "We just finished eating, let's go for a walk together?"
Seeing Lin Mo's expression, he stretched out his index finger and said with a wry smile:
"Just for a moment, I know you actually want to end this matter as soon as possible."
Lin Mo thought for a moment and nodded.
The two of them walked slowly side by side on the busy street.
It was probably Yuntianhe who said it and Lin Mo listened.
It is nothing more than the past events of that year.
For example, when he had conflicts with his family when he was young, how he ran away from home in anger, how he joined the Beast Sect and how much suffering he suffered, or how he met his confidante while traveling in the world, and how he cultivated to this point step by step.
Finally, he began to tell some stories about Yun Shiya's childhood.
He said that because he was practicing in the clan and rarely returned home, he let Yun Shiya live and grow up in the clan. Therefore, his character was inevitably a bit naive and ignorant, but his temperament itself was good.
Lin Mo didn't answer, just being a good listener.
The two walked while talking, and soon they reached the main road of Si Ma Fang, Si Ma Street. It was already dinner time, there were not many people on the street, and a small fortune-telling stall happened to be set up next to the street.
However, the business is obviously not very good. After all, the stall owner is a young Taoist priest in his early twenties, who is really not able to convince the public. The "Book of Changes Fortune Telling" banner set up behind him looks very depressed.
The bored young Taoist priest was teasing a child with a runny nose and a braised chicken leg in his hand.
"The world is not as good as before. Those who are kind to others will always suffer losses. That is not because they are stupid, but because they believe that suffering losses is a blessing. If you suffer the losses first, you will not always suffer losses in the future."
As he spoke, the Taoist pointed his thumb at himself and his voice became louder, "That's the kind of person I am, do you understand?"
The child was obviously curious. He raised his head and looked at the Taoist seriously. However, if he didn't pay attention, two green dragons came out of the hole in an instant, and his nose almost ran out of his mouth.
He quickly took a sip, lowered his head, and continued to eat the big chicken leg, not daring to look at the Taoist again.
Seeing this, the Taoist frowned and said, "Boy, you have to know that hexagrams cannot be played lightly, as this will shorten your life."
The child didn't reply and didn't dare to raise his neck anymore. He could only tilt his head and look at the Taoist.
The young Taoist finally couldn't stand it anymore and said earnestly, "Oh, you little guy really doesn't hesitate to be blessed. The poor Taoist calculated that you will definitely wear a yellow robe in the future, and you will have fish and meat every day. In this world that is about to be in chaos, aren't you righteous enough?
An honest man has reached this point. Is it too much to ask you for two cents? Is it too much? "
The child, who had been looking at it with his head tilted, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "An honest person is a fool, an honest person is a fool!"
After saying that, he turned around and jumped up and down, shouting "Big fish and big meat, big fish and big meat!"
The young Taoist was stunned, and in the end he could only mutter angrily, "Suffering a loss is a blessing, suffering a loss is a blessing."
He sat back down again.
Seeing this scene, both of them smiled.
With this smile, the originally stiff atmosphere melted into something more.
"How about not counting it as a hexagram?" Yun Tianhe pointed at the stall and said with a smile.
Lin Mo was startled and asked, "Do you believe this?"
"It's okay. I didn't believe it before, but when I was young, I met an old Taoist who gave me a fortune telling. It was very accurate. I started to believe it later." Yun Tianhe said calmly.
At this time, the young Taoist had noticed the two of them, stood up directly, and said with a smile, "Meeting each other means we are destined. If you count a hexagram to relieve worries, you will be given one gold for good luck, one silver for successful luck, one penny for small luck, and no money for bad luck."
After saying this, Yun Tianhe, who was originally smiling, was startled. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to count or not.
But before he could come up with an excuse, he was greeted by the Taoist priest who came up.
"Would you both like to have a hexagram?" the young Taoist said with a smile, and stretched out his hand.
Yun Tianhe, who was the first to propose fortune telling, could not refuse at this time. Looking at Lin Mo who was smiling but not smiling, he stretched out his hand with a dark face.
The Taoist who was doing his old job was still very ethical. He quickly straightened his posture and took out a set of tortoise shell talismans. After asking some questions, he drew a lot and then smiled happily:
"Chenghui, Zhongji."
The sign says: Time will come and turn, Taigong will be granted the title of God.
After saying that, he explained the hexagram with Yun Tianhe.
He said, "The fortunes are turning and joy comes, and Jiang Taigong takes the stage to be consecrated as a god. It is extraordinary for Taigong to be conferred as a god. Even if there is misfortune, it will not be a disaster."
Not to mention, there is some truth to what he said, but combined with the unreliable rhetoric before, it makes people only doubt whether the lottery tickets are all good.
But it's okay, at least I have peace of mind. After all, how can I meet an experienced Taoist like I met in my early years so easily?
Thinking of this, Yuntianhe felt relieved and took out a silver.
Seeing the young Taoist opening the door, his eyebrows lit up with joy, and then he looked at Lin Mo expectantly.
Lin Mo smiled when he saw this and stretched out his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan, also knowing everything.
The young Taoist regained his composure and solemnly pushed the tortoise shell, turned the value talisman, threw the lottery tube, and drew out a lottery.
But this time, he started to laugh and placed the fortune tellers in front of the two of them.
"Well, if I don't give you the money, this good man won't have to pay..."
Lin Mo looked at the hexagram sign with some curiosity, slightly understanding.
The sign says: When the time comes, heaven and earth will become enemies.
If you really want to calculate it, it should be a big disaster.
The young Taoist was also inexplicably embarrassed at this time. He rubbed his face vigorously with both hands and said flatteringly,
"Strong men don't need to worry too much. Although I haven't learned all the skills of transshipment yet, I can still spend money to try it. It's also free of charge if I don't transfer."
Lin Mo looked at the Taoist carefully, smiled, took out a piece of gold from his arms, and pushed it in front of him.
"Why does Daji need to be transferred?"
The young Taoist looked puzzled and a little confused.
"Now that heaven and earth are united, we are invincible. Isn't this a good thing?" Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"This..." The Taoist, who was originally embarrassed, turned pale instantly and was speechless.
When he was about to say something else, Lin Mo had already left with Yuntianhe.
The young Taoist scratched his head, sat back on the stool slumpedly, arranged the lotus tube, then held the back of his head with both hands, stroked the Taoist crown upwards, and said to himself:
"That's not right, that's not right, how can you still transport things on your own? How can you live in this business after all this?"
Finally, the young Taoist stood up, glanced at the two people who could no longer see their backs, sighed, and began to quickly close the stall.
"Weirdos, weird people, then let's go high up the mountain and see if we can really be invincible?"
But after finally putting away the 'Book of Changes Fortune Telling' sign, he shook his head and denied himself with a stern expression.
"It's difficult."
.
When you reach the end of Si Ma Street and turn into a branch street, you can see Lin Mo's residence.
Lin Mo did not take the previous divination to heart. Although there are martial arts and new methods in this world, there may not be no divination. However, he has learned the dragon-slaying technique for more than ten years in his previous life, and he believes that man can defeat nature and everything depends on man-made efforts.
However, Yun Tianhe's expression was a bit incomprehensible, and he remained silent the whole way.
Lin Mo followed the silence until he could see the door of the residence, and said softly: "The road is coming to an end soon. If the head of the Yun family really has something to say, you might as well say it bluntly. If it is just a casual thing, Lin will not watch."
Yun Tianhe raised his head, cut off all the troublesome thoughts, and hesitated for a while:
"In that case, I won't give in. You should know that Shiya has a crush on you. What do you think...?"
He looked at Lin Mo.
The two stopped.
Lin Mo didn't speak immediately. He just took out the black letter from the empty stone ring and handed it to the person next to him.
"We're not suitable." He shook his head.
Yun Tianhe was startled, "Are you afraid?"
Lin Mo smiled, said no more, just turned and left.
"You are the same kind of person as I was before. I can understand you, but sometimes what you are afraid of is not terrible. Face your heart and you will not have regrets in the future."
Yun Tianhe behind him said in a low voice.
Lin Mo stopped and tilted his head, looking at the man with the black letter in his hand from the corner of his eye.
"Since you think you and I are the same kind of people, you should know that regret does not necessarily make people stronger, and the most important thing to stay away from to become strong is feelings.
In fact, you also understand that you do this too, don't you? "
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yun Tianhe was stunned for a moment, rubbing his face with both hands, looking at the figure turning an alley, looking depressed.
He understood what Lin Mo was referring to, yes, why didn't he understand? If you really didn't understand, you wouldn't live alone in the Beast Sect, and you wouldn't go home only once a year.
But compared to him, Lin Mo appeared to be colder and more decisive.
............
Outside Huaiping City.
Among the distant mountains, there is a small hill called Hushan.
The mountain is named after its pot-shaped shape.
On the top of Hushan Mountain, a giant willow tree six to seven feet high grows wantonly.
It is not green like ordinary willow trees, but is powdery like human skin.
Thousands of willow branches droop and flutter in the wind, like arms, and the whole willow tree is like a... meat willow.
At this time, faint red light spots suddenly appeared on the willow branches like sparks of fire.
puff!
The willow branches that were originally just blowing in the wind began to dance like a demon. The willow branches covered the sky and the sun, and the faint light reflected the sky in a corner of Hushan red.
A fat man as big as a mountain was standing under the tree, with his hands open and a fanatical look on his face.
It's Roshan.
Roshan's face was slightly flushed at this time, and even the light green bud marks on his face turned purple. He was obviously extremely excited, and shouted on top of Hushan:
"Mortals finally reach their limit, only the green shade lasts forever,
When the goat of the mountain, the horn of the goat, reaches the top of the willow tree, the body will become immortal,
After sacrificing the spirit, although the person who has completed it is dead, experiencing the growth of green is also a kind of hearing the Tao, and he will die in the morning. "
There was an inexplicable fluctuation coming from the meat willows, and the scorching sun above our heads also cast a touch of green when we looked carefully at it.
After a while, a circular opening opened in the willow tree.
A pink ball of flesh and blood slowly rose up, with flesh and blood on it squirming and suspended in the air.
five.
Four.
three.
two.
one.
Roshan thought silently in his heart.
boom!
The next moment, the pink ball of flesh and blood suddenly cracked, and drops of blood spurted out like a fountain. The blood disappeared as soon as it touched the air.
It kept spraying for nearly half an hour and then slowly stopped.
The meatballs wither and disappear.
Roshan standing on the top of the mountain seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, his face was much pale, but his eyes were filled with light, and he looked towards the huge city in the distance.
"Boss, are everything ready?"
At this time, the bald man Li Guang walked up the mountain, touched the back of his head and asked softly.
"Absolutely." Roshan smiled and said, "What we need to do now is to move everyone who can move our hands and spread the seeds as quickly as possible."
"This... I'm afraid I'm going to break a lot of hands. I heard they were very strict over there. After all, the boy from the Yu family seems to have noticed something." Li Guang hesitated for a while and said.
Roshan's smile faded, and his big mung bean eyes were full of fierce light.
"I can't control so much anymore. If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. Besides, are we still human? Haha!"
Li Guang was startled and nodded vigorously.
"yes!"
