Thuja Island itself is a medium-sized island, and there are more than a dozen small islands surrounding it, serving as the gate of Thuja Taoism.
As the Thuja Daozong turned into loess, the island underwent a drastic change. The Thuja Island itself was also shrouded in sea fog, becoming desolate and occupied by ferocious beasts.
After the Lingtai Sect migrated and fell, redevelopment began.
At this time, the scenery that was once half deserted and half populated has changed a lot as time goes by.
There are scattered various temples built on Thuya Mountain. The ancient temples hidden among the forest look quite peaceful.
At the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see large fields specially cultivated by people, where various kinds of spiritual grains, fruits and vegetables are planted.
It is now June, and the Linggu is full of green. When the wind blows, it looks like green waves. You can vaguely see figures in sect costumes, taking care of the fields.
Further away is the Thuja Pier built with huge trees and stones.
It has been expanded a lot compared to the original, and a three-story giant ship like the Golden Elephant is enough to dock three or four ships.
But now there are only a sporadic four or five two-story warehouses, and warships are docked at the dock.
At this time, on the hillside of Thuja Mountain, in front of the Utensil Pavilion, Lin Mo and Jing Kong stood side by side.
Hearing Lin Mo say this, Jingkong didn't say anything, but her slightly cloudy eyes contained relief, and she reached out and patted Lin Mo's back.
Soon, several auras appeared in the distance.
It was Mu Xin, Xiao Langao and others.
Mu Xin's aura was thicker, but it was not as compassionate as before, but more ferocious.
When he was young, he carried out the killings of King Ming. In his middle age, he returned to his original nature and immersed himself in Buddhism. Now, due to changes in the current situation, he has to take action many times, repeatedly.
But Lin Mo could clearly detect that there was a subtle herbal smell in that powerful aura.
"Uncle Mu Xin, you..." His eyes fell on his chest, his eyes full of inquiry.
"It doesn't matter. During my previous trip to the Liusha Islands, I was at a disadvantage when fighting against a certain force. Haha, every country has its own talents, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years. After all, time is not forgiving." Mu Xin smiled. Smiling, his brows and eyes seemed to have returned to the state of the holy monk before.
"Fortunately, everything has been resolved, and we are waiting for you to come back. You have worked hard this time." He looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression.
Since the birth of Little Penglai Island last time, many related rumors have appeared in the sea.
Among them were the Pinglang Sect, the Blood Sea Giant Bandits, the Double Swords Alliance and other combined forces, which were severely damaged on Little Penglai Island, and many deputy sect masters died.
The rumors were related to the Sea Clan, but Mu Xin naturally knew that it was Lin Mo who did it.
But what is puzzling is that after the incident was completed, Lin Mo never returned. After repeated inquiries, there was still no result.
Finally, after receiving a message from Ma Yuande of the Mad Shark Club, he learned that Lin Mo had indeed taken action on Little Penglai Island, forcibly killing joint masters such as the Double Swords Alliance and occupying almost the entire Little Penglai Island.
But something unexpected happened in the end, and he was taken to the abyss beyond the seven seas by a big man from the sea clan.
To people on land, the abyss was like a tiger's den and a dragon's pool before the Seven Seas Alliance was formed. It was an unpredictable place that ordinary people could not set foot in.
So Mu Xin was shocked that Lin Mo returned so soon.
'Everything resolved...? Lin Mo thought thoughtfully about Ma Yuande's letter when he was on Baili Island. "Master, uncle, if anything happens, just tell me. This disciple is also a member of the sect, not an outsider."
"Okay, it's a long story. It's a great thing that you're returning to the clan now. Let's not talk about it for now."
Mu Xin smiled kindly, looking at Lin Mo, the big stone hanging in his heart fell, and he felt a lot more relieved.
I have to say that some things can only be appreciated after they are lost.
At the beginning, Lingtai Sect had Li Shenxiu and Jue'an. No matter what major events happened in the state or the sect, they had the confidence and support.
Then, the two disappeared, and Lin Mo stepped forward soon after. As a new support, people took the Lingtai Sect's thousands of years of history as a given.
It was only after Lin Mo disappeared and the attack on Liusha Islands was hindered that people understood the importance of top experts for a force.
"Now that you're back, you should go back to the clan first. There are many people there who also care about you." Mu Xin felt relieved and then said softly.
"Yes, I'll come back to bother my uncle later." Lin Mo nodded.
He does miss his family, his wife and children.
After chatting with Mu Xin for a while, Lin Mo greeted and saluted the other elders from various sects who had followed him.
Compared with when they were in Huaizhou, the three branches were separated and each had their own thoughts. After experiencing the changes in Huaizhou and the relocation of Qihai, they worked together all the way. After all the difficulties, it was obvious that the relationship between the various branches in the sect was very harmonious.
The elders, who were obviously not familiar with him at first, were all very happy to see Lin Mo return.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Lin Mo's heart softened.
This is the sect he wants, a sect with a human touch.
This world is too difficult, full of plots, plots, and fighting. He has to pretend to be tough, with blood on his hands, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have softness in his heart.
For Lin Mo, the Lin family, the Lingtai Sect, is the last peaceful place in his heart.
After talking for about half an hour, Lin Mo said goodbye and immediately rushed towards the Lin clan's land on the mountainside.
Thuja Island is so huge that it simply cannot be filled with the number of Lingtai Sect disciples at this time.
Therefore, the sect arranged a clan site for the Lin clan on the hillside of Yabai Mountain. The mountain was not only more energetic, but also safer.
When Lin Mo arrived, he was a little surprised by the changes in the clan area.
Compared with the beginning, the Lin clan today has a somewhat similar scene in Dayan Mountain.
On the mountainside, in front of a large red broad-leaved forest, the Lin clan members built a three-meter-high fence made of ironwood to surround it.
The fence was planted with poisonous thorns, vines and poisonous thistles in the same way as before Lin Mo.
Inside the fence are rows of stone houses made of bluestone, which look very neat and uniform.
On the outermost side, there is no fence built in the Lin clan land, but it is seamlessly connected to another residential area.
The latter is a gathering place for family members of sect disciples. It was Lin Mo's initial decision not to build a fence to prevent the Lin family from becoming isolated from the sect as time went by.
At this time, standing under the shade of the trees outside the clan's land, one could faintly see people coming and going on the bluestone road in the village, and clan members were farming in the fields outside the house.
"Although it is strange, it is familiar. This is home." Lin Mo sighed softly.
At this time, there were several young children in buns playing hopscotch outside the village.
The so-called hopscotch is a popular children's game. You use lime to outline a lattice house with different numbers on the ground, and then kick the stones with one foot.
If you complete all the grids, you have the right to build a house.
This game is highly recommended by adults because it can exercise leg muscles.
Lin Mo watched with interest as several children played.
Although the children were young, they could still see some basic skills in martial arts, and jumping on one foot was no problem. However, they were young after all, and after playing for a short time, they started to sweat all over.
At this time, the latter also noticed Lin Mo, but did not recognize him at all. He was still playing the game by himself, very innocently.
However, the other tribesmen who were going in and out became suspicious when they saw Lin Mo standing there and staring at the children.
A slightly fat man with sallow skin came over and asked.
"Friend, who are you? Are you looking for someone?"
The tone was very solemn, and at the same time he made a gesture, and his companions stepped forward and took the children away by force.
No wonder he is like this, mainly because the person he is facing at this time is somewhat special.
The other party is not only extremely tall, standing as tall as a hill at 2.45 meters tall, but also has broad shoulders and a slim waist, with deep eyes.
Although the skin is pale, coupled with the clear outline of the muscles, it looks even more ferocious, giving people a sense of pressure.
It's just that the face is a bit familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere...
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but think with his eyes and keep recalling.
Unexpectedly, the man opposite suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand to slap him hard.
"Jun Zhen? Why, it's been so long since we last seen each other, and I don't recognize your last brother anymore?"
A slap fell hard on Lin Junzhen's shoulder, making a muffled sound, and the other party was stunned for a while.
"You are...Brother Mo!!" Lin Junzhen was stunned. He looked at Lin Mo carefully without caring about his body falling apart, and then said with a trembling voice with certainty.
No wonder he couldn't recognize it, Lin Mo had indeed changed a lot. After the source of power was condensed and the dharma body was formed, the physical body spontaneously transformed towards the 'perfect' form.
Not only the overall appearance has changed slightly, but also the details. Unless someone is very close to it, it would be difficult to recognize it at once.
"Yes, I'm back. Junzhen, you've lost weight." Lin Mo held his little cousin in his arms.
He is the son of his fourth uncle Lin Yuanjun.
He was originally a fat little man with fair skin, and his eyes were the size of mung beans, habitually bent into a slit, and he always looked cheerful all day long.
But after moving to Thuja Island, he followed the clan members and learned how to sail and do business. Under the wind and rain, his white and tender skin was no longer white and he had lost a lot of weight. He was no longer honest and honest, but he still gave people a sense of solidity.
"Young Patriarch! The Young Patriarch is back!"
At this time, the children who were forcibly taken away also reacted, and then jumped up excitedly, put their hands behind their backs, bent down and ran quickly towards the village.
Running and shouting.
From time to time, they would also sing, dance, run, and knock on doors.
Soon a group of people came quickly.
The leaders were the eldest uncle Lin Yuantian, his father Lin Yuanshan, his younger brother Lin Shu, Lin Junyi and several other cousins and elders.
Later in the crowd, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Lin Feier, Lin Mu and others holding Lin Jue and Lin Min.
Lin Yuantian was much thinner than before. There were also some white hairs in Mo Mi's black hair. He was in good spirits, but one arm was empty.
He moved very quickly when he came, but when he got closer, he slowed down like his father Lin Yuanshan. He just looked at Lin Mo with a smile, not knowing what to say.
"Father, uncle, I'm back." Lin Mo took a few steps forward and greeted him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little brother Lin Shu, who looked like a monkey, jumped over, came to Lin Mo with a smile, and hugged his shoulders.
The latter's figure has not changed much, he is only a little over 1.8 meters tall, but his energy and blood have changed a lot, and he has already established his life.
But his temperament is still lively and he bleats and puffs.
"Brother, what a coincidence or not, I just asked my mother this morning when my brother would be back, and you would be home at noon!"
As he said this, he held his head with both hands and chuckled.
"Then you really have some skills," Lin Mo said with a smile.
He and Lin Shu had a good relationship when they were young, and they had the same relationship after time travel, but they started practicing martial arts later and spent less time together.
The reason why the other party is a little crooked is probably for this reason.
But now Lin Mo no longer cares about these things.
Really alone, alone in a different place with no idea of his return date, he finally understood the value of his relatives, whether they were crooked or not, whether they were strong or weak, it didn't really matter, after all, no matter how strong they were, they would never be stronger than him.
As long as people are there.
Lin Shu also laughed loudly when he heard this, shook his long hair and wrinkled his nose, "Of course, you don't even know whose brother I am."
He said and pulled him up again.
At this time, Lin Yuanshan couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and patted Lin Shu angrily, "With so many people watching, I don't practice martial arts, I only know how to be clever all day long. If you keep doing this, believe it or not, I will beat you every time I see you!" "
Lin Shu then chuckled, retreated into the crowd, and returned to Mother Lin.
Then the rest of the people came forward to greet and salute.
"Young patriarch!"
"Brother Mo!"
"Brother Mo!"
"Uncle!"
"Third uncle!"
"Third Grandpa!"
Lin Mo was stunned when he heard the end. Is he actually a grandparent?
Hearing the sound and looking around, he saw that it was a little kid.
He is only four or five years old, wearing crotchless pants, fluttering birds, fair skin, and big eyes.
At this time, he also noticed that Lin Mo was looking at him and grinned happily, with a big snot bubble popping up from his nose.
"This is Lin Meng's son from the third room. According to his seniority, I call you Third Grandpa." Lin Yuantian explained.
When Lin Mo heard this, he recalled the man with a silly smile in his memory, nodded, and reached out to touch the head of the kid in front of him.
"By the way, uncle, your arm..." After two breaths, Lin Mo raised his head and asked.
He glanced at the empty sleeves again, his eyes were calm, showing no emotion or anger.
But when everyone present, including Lin Yuanshan, came into contact with his eyes, their hearts trembled and a chill arose in their hearts.
"Didn't the sect have friction with several local forces some time ago? There were not enough manpower, so I had to take charge. Then during the fighting, I injured my arm, and the other party used poison. In the end, I had to cut off my arm." Lin Yuantian said cheerfully. He smiled, as if he didn't care:
"It can be considered a blessing in disguise. Now Grandmaster has broken another level, haha."
Lin Mo opened his mouth when he heard this but said nothing.
This is said lightly, what is the use of further breakthroughs in realm?
One less arm means that unless you practice a unique skill, you will have one more flaw, making it very inconvenient to fight with others.
What's more, it will damage the foundation...
But this is not the time to talk about this.
"Mo'er, it's really okay. It's over..." Lin Yuantian suddenly spoke again and explained softly.
Lin Mo didn't answer, just smiled.
Lin Yuantian sighed softly when he saw this, but his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
After greeting Lin Yuantian, Lin Mo talked and hugged the rest of the tribe.
Finally, his eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the woman holding two babies.
His eyes became softer.
"Mayfair."
Lin Feier looked at him silently, and the crowd dispersed, her eyes filled with joy.
But for some reason, her nose suddenly felt sore and her eyes became moist.
Lin Jue and Lin Min, who happened to be in his arms, suddenly burst into tears.
She quickly gathered her mind and began to jolt.
And suddenly, there was a light touch in the hand, and there was warmth on the shoulder.
Looked up.
"Fei'er, I'm back." It was Lin Mo. He looked at the person in front of him and the two little guys in his arms with unprecedented tenderness.
