flame!
flame!
flame!
Tongues of fire spread wantonly in the sky, thick black smoke rose into the sky, and a strange heat and depression vented in the steamer-like heaven and earth.
However, this kind of vision does not actually frighten the ordinary people in Yueshan. After all, the vision has been a vision for half a year, but the continuous sky fire has not actually caused harm to people. What is really scary is...
Roar! Roar! Roar!
A loud beast roar sounded.
There are wolves howling, apes croaking, and pythons hissing!
The roars of all kinds of beasts shook the sky. In the past, they would have been the roaring beast kings of the mountains. But now, in this violent roar, there was a trace of unconcealable panic!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before anyone was surprised, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
The house is shaking like chaff, like an earth dragon turning over!
The sky seemed to be darkening.
It's about time for burning incense.
The fires in the mountains began to extinguish, like the roar of mountain beasts rolling away in thunder waves, and the earth shook, but it had stopped.
Everything seems like a dream.
There are only villages that are almost in ruins, devastated roads and fields, and the flesh and white bones left by trampling, silently describing what happened just now.
At this time, the people who had just climbed out of the cellar with difficulty began to numbly clean up the village.
Some are picking up the remaining animal meat, some are building temporary houses, and some are collecting the corpses of relatives and friends who did not have time to run into the cellar.
Numbness, silence, depression.
At this time, even a little sporadic crying is precious.
On top of a giant tree, Zhou Yan was holding a giant black ruler with his hands and his face was covered in blood. He couldn't say anything for a moment and just stood on the branch blankly.
He looked far and wide.
The vast sea of trees and mountains, when the wind blows, roll like the tide of a river, but what follows is heat, depression, and unconcealable sadness.
You can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.
In Nanming County, there are many villages like this below.
Things like a tide of beasts attacking a village are actually not uncommon for generations.
Otherwise, warning traps and refuge cellars would not have been set up in advance.
However, the beast tides we have experienced recently are too many and too big.
In a few days, there will be a wave of beasts coming.
The villagers who had been waiting over and over again for the beast tide to end, rebuild walls, and build houses have become numb.
Perhaps when most of the young adults in the clan died, they were already numb.
Zhou Yan had a sullen face, looking at the sad and sullen villagers at his feet, most of whom were children and women, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Because this is not a special village.
After successfully refining the Qingling Pill in Jinsha County, he left the city, found a secret place, and successfully broke through the second level of Grand Master.
Then, without stopping, he galloped in the direction of Nanming County following what he saw that day.
On the way, based on Zhou Shengjun's internal map of Kanyu, the specific location was quickly determined, all the way here.
But just like this, I saw the cruel side of the world.
Centered on the Mingya Buddhist Caves at the confluence of the three rivers, the surrounding three counties were directly blocked.
Within it, almost every village he encountered was as it was now, invaded by beasts and plagued by disasters.
When the glorious Zhou Dynasty was still standing in Chi County, in this unknown area, animal nature truly overcame human nature.
Crazy beasts become the real protagonists.
"It shouldn't be, this shouldn't be." Zhou Yan silently wiped the blood on his face and muttered to himself.
At this time, the tired and soft muscles and bones of the body are not as good as the scene in front of me, and the shock to the soul is uncomfortable.
What confused him was not just the ferocious mountain beasts and birds he met along the way, not just the strange sky fires with extremely high frequency, and not just the people in the miserable villages he met along the way.
What’s more, it’s the inaction of Zhou Shengjun’s Yamen in Nanming County!
He didn't believe that the Inspector General of Nanming County didn't pay any attention to the anomalies in this area, nor did he believe that no news came out from the three surrounding counties!
"Who is it?" Zhou Yan couldn't figure it out, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the heavy ruler were a little white.
"How dare you have the guts to act like this?"
Being able to secretly shield a state and suppress news, this kind of energy is at least a level one for a flag bearer.
No, even if the flagbearer has the ability, he can't really spread any news!
"People's hearts are unimaginable, and the other party dares to touch even his spare time, let alone people from several counties?" There was no surprise in the dull voice.
His knowledge, both in depth and breadth, is much stronger than that of Zhou Yan.
I have seen well-known martial arts couples pitting each other because of their own interests. I have seen hundreds of young children sacrificed in order to experiment with the Qianyu Realm method. I have even seen the heroes who were truly famous for their loyalty in Chi County during the battle between Heaven and Heaven. , betrayed in public...
Compared with these, the former is not surprising at all.
"Teacher, please open your leisure time. How far have you reached this point?"
Zhou Yan was silent for a while and did not reply. Instead, he asked.
"The abnormal movement of the beast tide, in addition to the birth of the Beast King in the mountain, also proves that the tide of vitality has begun to rise. Seriously, it should be more than mid-term." The dull voice responded truthfully.
After saying that, he sighed and said, "My suggestion is that you leave temporarily and break through the Grandmaster first before talking about anything else.
Taizhou has already collapsed. No matter what the reason is, after a battle between heaven and earth, the boundaries set by Yuan Tiangang in the past are no longer able to truly stop it.
It is said that one hair can affect the whole body, and soon the rest of the realm will be broken up one state after another. Then the great power will come over there, and it will be a real chaotic world, and the master... is insignificant. "
At the end, the dull voice was also a little tired.
The truth is actually more difficult than what he said.
Back then, starting from Hanzhou, we fought for Chi County, established Jiuzhou, leveled the Qihai Sea, established prefectures and counties, divided counties and townships, and spread military power all over the world. The one who finally aspired to the top could only use the Chi County land line to establish boundaries. area.
Can Chi County resist today?
"What the teacher said makes sense. It's just that when a martial artist practices martial arts, what he pays attention to is to speak his mind directly. He just wants his blood to be cold, and what he wants is to do something and not do something.
Now that I have truly seen it, it would be too frustrating to do nothing. "
Zhou Yan nodded in agreement, but said this.
The dull voice was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly:
"What are you going to do?"
Zhou Yan looked at the desolate scene at his feet, and then looked at the confluence of the three rivers in the mountains, with a cold expression on his handsome face.
"Since the other party is so afraid of the news leaking out, how can I be so beautiful as an adult? Simply...
...He simply made the fuss known to the world! "
............
"You mean the location of the spare time has been determined?"
Lin Mo slapped Xiong Da's leg, causing his knee to bend at an angle.
Then he ignored his aggrieved look, felt the fluctuations of his energy and blood, nodded, and looked at Qingye aside.
After Qingye came back with him, he lived next door to Lin Mo, and even when he walked around, he followed him closely.
On the one hand, it is to find out the location of the idle point and report it in time, and on the other hand, it is also for your own safety.
"Where is the location? I remember asking my senior brother the day before yesterday. Didn't he say that there are still three counties that have not been investigated?" Lin Mo asked doubtfully.
Qingye nodded, then shook his head: "The location is in Nanming County, at a location called Mingya Buddhist Caves.
It is true that most of the area has not been checked that day. After all, Huaizhou is too vast.
But some time ago, news suddenly came that there had been strange animal disasters in Nanze, Mingjiao, and Yueshan counties of Nanming County for several months, and there were also sky fires in the forest. I was suspicious, so I checked the area in advance, and then confirmed it. . "
"Nanming County? Mingya Buddhist Caves?" Lin Mo was confused, and he patted Xiong Da in front of him.
The opponent understood, put away his fist, put on his straw hat, and then used all four legs to run happily towards the distant mountains.
Lin Mo then turned his head and looked at Qingye who had a serious look on his face.
"I remember that a strange beast Qilin seemed to have been born in Mingya Buddhist Cave before, and it even wiped out a family there, is that it?"
Qingye nodded, "Yes, I guess that the fire in the forest was caused by that unicorn beast."
"Then what's going on with the news? I don't believe it's been kept secret for so long and someone will suddenly expose it." Lin Mo frowned.
According to Qingye, there had been a beast disaster in Nanming County for many months. If such information was really going to come out, it would have come out long ago. But it happened at this time. He didn't believe it.
"It should be an internal fight between the two imperial forces. As far as I know, the Nanming County Flag Officer has been controlled. Now he has been relieved of all responsibilities. He was taken to Huaiping for investigation yesterday.
In addition, all the officials of Zhou Shengjun in the Yamen of the other three counties were dismissed from their posts. "Qingye said seriously.
"This... is really a big deal." Lin Mo was startled.
Qingye smiled bitterly and had no words.
"Obviously Taizhou Lu Shen is a foregone conclusion, and the situation in the border area is chaotic and unclear, but there are still these tricks in the state, tsk."
Lin Mo shook his head and sneered.
Although the shock is shocking, the meaning behind it that ties everything together later is intriguing.
According to Qingye, Luojia Mountain was guarding Tianguan that day. First, the senior officials happened to be out, causing holes in the boundary and creating gaps.
What was then bizarre was that all the people who had come into contact with Xia Dian disappeared or died, leaving only Aoba.
Even so, it was because Lin Mo arrived in time, otherwise he would not have been able to escape the danger of being killed.
But something even stranger happened.
The momentum caused by Xia Dian was suppressed by the power of the imperial court, and has been covered up until now.
If this isn’t ridiculous, what else is there to be ridiculous about?
"The Buddha observes that a bowl of water contains forty-eight thousand insects, and rice feeds hundreds of people, but the human mind does not think about it. Junior Brother Lin, why bother? It is useless to think too much."
Qingye also had a look of admiration on his face, but in the end he recited a string of Buddha's names and said in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Qingye is quite open-minded. In Buddhism, a bowl of water is just water, no matter how many insects there are. Rice can support hundreds of people. In the end, there is only the difference between the living and the dead.
You asked me not to think too much, so why not tell me first, what should I do? "
Lin Mo shook his head slightly and asked.
Aoba remained silent.
The implications of this matter are so great that even if the Grandmaster falls into the whirlpool, he will only be involved and crushed until his body dies and turns into ashes.
Now that Zongli Cihang is led by Zhengyi, how does he know what to do...
Lin Mo waited for a while, but found no sound and felt bored.
He felt that the teachings of the Lingtai Sect were a bit distorted. Everything was in line with nature. There were more eminent monks who cultivated virtues, but fewer wrathful Vajras.
No wonder within this sect, the three opposing meridians will always be suppressed!
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Lin Mo continued, "Since the situation has been exposed to this point, maybe some information will be reported in the future, which will attract a lot of attention. Senior brother can pass the matter to this sect first. , in a few days my family’s affairs will be arranged, and I will go ahead.”
He sets the tone directly.
At this time, Qingye's serious expression disappeared, revealing a wry smile.
"Junior brother, it's a joke. You just joined the sect and you don't know the situation in the sect. Now the big things are decided by Zhengyi and Cihang. The real mission is to have the two families contribute. It's not that they don't do it, but that they can't.
After all, in the battle at Luojia Mountain, my Lingtai suffered too much..."
At the end of Qingye's words, his tone couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It was also at that time that the Lingtai people began to build temples in order to save resources, widen the doors and walls, and restore their glory.
It was during that period that the founder of the Great Zen Temple went to Ningyang to build the Great Zen Temple and try to open up a branch of the lineage.
Lin Mo said nothing. He knew a little about these secrets, but he didn't expect the impact to be so far-reaching.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. This may be what it means.
It's just as simple as this proverb, so simple that it is difficult for the world to understand the pain and despair in the hearts of those who were bitten by snakes. They can only see ten simple words.
The trauma suffered by the Lingtai lineage back then may have been truly immense.
Ten temples and nine empty spaces are all occupied by novice monks.
He recited a few words repeatedly, and after reading the words in the records on the mountain, the original feeling of sadness for his misfortune and anger for him dissipated a little.
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I happen to have a skill that I want to practice in my spare time, so I will try it out myself and take the lead first." Lin Mo said softly, teasingly.
"Of course, this will have to wait until I get married and get married. Then senior brother must remember to come in person, and don't forget to give me gifts."
Qingye naturally noticed the softening of Lin Mo's tone. He completely let go of his heavy heart and smiled:
"Junior brother, I will definitely come forward to get married. If you don't mind, I can personally host it."
At this time, he was the only elder in the sect, so he should be in charge of such matters.
But Lin Mo was becoming more and more powerful now, so Qingye still asked cautiously.
"Thank you very much, senior brother." Lin Mo nodded.
"Very good, then I'll get ready first." Aoba's smile became even brighter.
The two of them stood up and left without saying anything else.
Lin Mo stood alone and did not move.
He felt a little depressed and didn't expect it at all.
The Lingtai lineage, which used to feel so superior, can actually feel so aggrieved.
When a disciple encounters trouble outside, what he wants to do is return the information first and then make a decision.
Although there is a reason for this, thinking about it, it is too frustrating.
After all, it is still strength.
He sighed.
Without strength, even the Buddha would not dare to cast off his golden body and go down the mountain to save the people, nor would he take it as his own responsibility to save the suffering and educate the people.
Therefore, Buddhists are also human beings.
Lin Mo shook his head, then lightly jumped up and landed on the top of the mountain, ready to return.
