Thuja Island, Lingtai Sect.
"How did you feel about going to Liuyun Island this time? Did anything happen?"
In front of the Utensil Pavilion, the setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon red. Monk Jingkong was holding a wooden basin, looking at the forest in front of him, picking up freshly carved wooden beads from the basin and stringing them together.
The beads are made of various precious sandalwood and jade, which are very precious on the sea. They have various effects such as calming the mind, activating the muscles and transforming the blood.
Coupled with the condensation of the divine will of the true king Wufu, the Buddha treasure is formed when strung together.
"I feel generally that the merger of the Seven Seas Alliance and the South China Sea Alliance is inevitable. Whether you like it or not, everyone knows about the tragedies in the three states of Tai, Huai, and Yu, so it is normal to join the group to keep warm.
As for the changes, there are no changes, but after a while, I will use Thuja Tower to try to save the True Lord from the ninth dharma body tribulation. "
Lin Mo also squatted in front of the wooden basin, twisted the beads, and tied them firmly with gold threads.
He and Jingkong have similar interests, and the latter also likes him very much. When communicating on daily basis, he likes to recall stories from his youth and tell some life principles.
So sometimes, when nothing happened, Lin Mo would come to the Utensil Pavilion, where an old man and a young man would sit under the sunset, blowing the evening breeze, and talk about current affairs and martial arts.
However, Lin Mo did not tell everything about some things.
For example, when he returned this time, he was unexpectedly attacked and killed by the Thousand Feather Realm. For example, when he was in Haiyuan, he joined the extremely evil sea people organization Chi Gun.
These things will only cause trouble and upset to others, so it is better to hide them in your heart to avoid causing panic.
Sometimes it is better to do less than to do more. This is the truth.
"This world is divided and united." Monk Jingkong said with a smile, wrinkles on his face. Like a chrysanthemum blooming.
There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"When I was young, I once heard the elders in my division talk about how before the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, the situation in Kyushu was as chaotic as weeds, with warlords in various places dividing their empires.
But since Zhou Taizu gained power, many chaotic forces began to form alliances and converge. For example, Zhou Taizu's Great Zhou Dynasty and the Sun Clan who opposed Wang Sun Shentong, at first glance, they coincide with the current situation. "
"This is a reshuffle. Under this general trend, those who go against the trend will die and be shattered by the waves, while those who follow the trend will ride on the wind and waves to reach a higher peak."
"Don't worry, as long as I am here, Lingtai Sect will become a powerful force, and the sect's inheritance will not be cut off."
Lin Mo said quietly.
When he thought about the earth, the historical records, although mostly low-level military, actually had many similarities between the two in terms of their direction.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, and competition for survival are exactly the same.
If you don't have enough strength, you can only go with the flow. Naturally, you will let others prey on you and be bullied and cause trouble along the way.
The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. This is the truth.
"The reversal of prosperity and decline, the alternation of yin and yang. Eight hundred years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty was the general trend, but now it is not declining, so the former is not necessary, and the latter is preserved. After all, that is too tiring,
What's more, originally there were Shenxiu and Juean to assist you, but now, the heavy responsibility falls on you alone..."
Jingkong put a Buddhist skewer aside.
"In the realm of great enlightenment, it is said that the sea of suffering is boundless, and once you turn around, you will find the shore. But these so-called heavy responsibilities and burdens are never invisible seas of suffering."
"..." Lin Mo was speechless.
Jue'an from Li Shenxiu and Cihang's lineage was the strongest and the boss in the Lingtai Sect in the past.
The two of them are extremely powerful.
After disappearing, the Lingtai Sect is still there, but it has directly transformed from the two mountains that suppressed Huaizhou in the past to an ordinary large sect.
He was also curious about where they had gone and why there was no news, but after repeated investigations, he found nothing.
As for the so-called sea of suffering, great enlightenment. To be honest, he doesn't believe in Buddhism.
Rather than illusory beliefs, he believed more in his ever-expanding Qi and blood and his ever-increasing power.
"I will find Tianzun and the others, and I will also protect the peace of the sect." Lin Mo said in a deep voice.
"By the way, half a month later, there will be a competition within the sect. This is the first mixed competition between the inner and outer mountains. Mu Xin asked me to ask you, do you have time to host it?" Jingkong did not say anything more about the matter and changed the subject.
"I will come forward and just host it." Lin Mo shook his head.
He knew the good intentions of Mu Xin and others, and hosting such meetings was a way to establish their status.
But after suppressing the entire Thuja sea area, Lin Mo actually didn't need this method.
With this time, it would be better to absorb the unexpected gains as soon as possible, carve the magic patterns, and seek breakthroughs.
Jingkong thought for a moment and understood what Lin Mo meant. He sighed softly and stopped talking.

After the Liuyun Island banquet, gatherings of various sizes were held one after another.
In the end, Zuo Ou, the leader of the Seven Seas Alliance, and Bi Yangzhen, the leader of the South China Sea Alliance, co-organized the second meeting of the Seven Seas. After three consecutive days of consultation, the union and reunification of the two alliances were determined.
The standard is the unification of sea areas, the maritime trade of the Seven Seas Alliance and the trade islands of the South China Sea Alliance are reorganized, and the scope of the sea areas is re-divided.
The major forces in the two alliances also selected experts based on their size to serve as elders in the Seven Seas Alliance, perform tasks regularly, and form the Seven Navy.
The Seven Navy patrolled the Seven Seas and set up defense lines on the coasts of Huaizhou and Taizhou. At the same time, they also internally cleared and captured neutral forces that had not joined the two alliances.
The Lingtai Sect in the Yabai Sea Area took advantage of this decree to recruit disciples and attract influence more blatantly.
Soon, some forces in the sea area that were difficult to forcibly suppress and subdue were contained, and even extended their tentacles beyond the Thuja Sea area.
In this process, it will naturally infringe on the interests of other major forces around it, and even some ambitious forces in the New Seven Seas Alliance are somewhat dissatisfied and jealous.
However, after Lin Mo took action twice, he hid his dissatisfaction in his heart and did not dare to have any more opinions.
During this period, the situation in Kyushu also changed.
The Seven Seas Alliance, which originally faced off against the Great Zhou in Jiaojun, Yizhou, each side sent additional troops, and even the masters of Zhenjun were able to add up to two hands.
And just when everyone thought that the two forces were about to fight, Fang Chong, the Yingwu Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty, suddenly led an army into Taizhou and sent troops to Jiu'an County, aiming to destroy Xinjing, the capital of the Huai Kingdom.
Qiao Lila, the deputy leader of the Seven Seas Alliance and the deputy leader of the Blood Shark Clan, led the new Seven Seas Navy directly towards Tai'an County and Baize City.
Both sides suddenly exerted force, and with a quick word, they broke through Taizhou's defense line almost instantly.
In Dahuai, the Qianyu Realm forces suffered numerous casualties and were defeated in several cities.
But then when the former reacted, a real war broke out, and more than twenty true king-level warriors died in the battle.
During this period, Daozu died, Yingwu Hou Fang Chong, deputy patriarch Qiao Lila, and the first Luohan Hall of Yizhou Landuo Temple were seriously injured and left the battlefield.
The Taoist ancestor also disappeared without a trace.
At this point, the fighting became more and more intense, and the two battlefields in Jiu'an County and Tai'an County in Taizhou turned into millstones, and horrific bloody battles were staged.
The two sides maintain a barely balanced situation.
Months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Lingtai Sect's territory, Yabai Island, was very lively.
Lanterns were hung everywhere, and people took to the streets to enjoy the long-lost joy.
It’s time for the annual Lingtai Buddha Lantern Festival.
*
The sound of crackling firecrackers exploded from time to time, and a large number of colorful lanterns floated into the sky.
New magical city.
This large city, which was built just a few months ago, has very similar specifications and layout to Huaizhou Lingmiao City.
With the help of powerful warriors, it took less than a month to take shape, and after the introduction of the population, it resumed its bustle.
At this time, all kinds of colored lanterns were hung around the square in the city, and the lamp sheds were set up.
Buddha light strips were interspersed and fluttered under the bright lights, and people gathered around the square.
In the center of the square, there were loud gongs and drums, playing and singing, endless lion and tiger dancers, and unusual tricks common in the Seven Seas, which attracted people to clap their hands and cheer loudly.
In the corner, there is a dedicated person distributing live fish. After individuals obtain them, they will be released separately, which means that there will be more than enough every year and the Dragon King will bless them.
This is the tradition of the Seven Seas Festival.
After the Lingtai Sect moved to Qihai, most of the disciples it recruited were from Qihai. Naturally, some changes were made to suit local conditions and the Buddha Lantern Festival.
Lin Mo held Lin Jue in one hand and Lin Min in the other, carrying a basket of fish and exquisite lanterns to the river that ran through the entire Lingmiao City.
Watching people on both sides of the river release colored lanterns into the sky and live fish into the river.
Father and mother Lin were resting and playing in the restaurant.
"Dad, if this fish is released, will...will the Dragon King really bless us?"
Lin Jue was holding a half-meter-long big red fish with both hands. The fish was still jumping around and slapping him in the face with its tail from time to time, causing him to speak intermittently.
After taking medicinal baths since he was a child, he has a strong body. He is not like a four-year-old child at all. He grows extremely strong, has a white face, and his facial features are becoming more and more like Lin Mo.
"Put the fish back into the sea. These fish are all the descendants of the Dragon King. If we save their descendants, they will naturally protect us.
Just like if someone saves you and Min'er, Dad will satisfy any of their requests. "
Lin Mo explained with a smile.
He said looking at his daughter beside him.
Compared to her restless son, her daughter was very quiet and carefully placed the fish, one after another.
After hearing Lin Mo's words, his eyes turned into crescent moons, as if he was very happy.
Hold the fish harder.
"Oh, that's it." Lin Jue nodded vigorously, looked at the fish in his hand, and then at his own hand, thoughtfully.
"Dad, if I save myself, can you satisfy some of my requests, such as giving me more candy?"
As he spoke, he threw the big fish into the water, causing a large splash, and touched his head with a silly smile.
Lin Mo said nothing. Looking at his proud son, he wondered whether he was his son.
The latter seemed to feel a little nervous when he looked at him, his smile slowly faded, he stuck his butt out and continued to release the live fish.
Lin Mo shook his head, looked at Wen Jing's daughter and silly son, sighed softly, and threw the fish together.
He had successfully passed through the Nine Dharmakaya Tribulations of the True Lord during his retreat a few days ago.
For ordinary warriors, the Dharma Body Tribulation, which is difficult and may even be life-threatening, seems to him to be very ordinary.
The latter is ultimately the combination of divine will and qi and blood. In the end, the life magnetic field becomes stronger, spontaneously attracts thunder and lightning, and recovers in natural withering.
Lin Mo has experienced several innate bead talent enhancements, and has a very strong foundation, especially his physical recovery ability, making it easy to survive the Dharma Body Tribulation.
However, after surviving the Nineteen Dharma Body Tribulation, the strength enhancement was not obvious, and the increase in the main body was very small. It was just that the Dharma Body was stronger, which made him a little disappointed.
During that period of seclusion, Lin Mo was somewhat neglected to accompany his family.
This Lingtai Buddha Lantern Festival can actually be regarded as compensation.
"Heilong, you are in such a good mood. Your life is so leisurely.
Is this your heir? It looks good, but it doesn't seem to have inherited your strong bloodline. "
Lin Mo was accompanying Lin Jue and Lin Min to fish, but suddenly a tall figure in yellow clothes walked slowly, looked at the sparkling river filled with Buddhist lanterns, and said softly.
"Who are you? Have you recognized the wrong person?" Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged, he patted his two children on the head, stood up, and looked at the people beside him.
This man was dressed in yellow clothes and had ordinary facial features. He was very dull and inconspicuous among the crowd, just like a passerby.
But there seems to be a tattoo on the white and tender neck, which is a strange red fish. Red Gun.
"Don't you recognize me? I am a waterman, and we are comrades in arms, dear Black Dragon.
Have you forgotten the days when we fought hard on Baili Island? Your lovely teacher is still looking for you. "
The man in yellow put his hands behind his back, raised the corners of his mouth, and laughed softly.
The moment he finished speaking, his dull facial features suddenly turned into water, revealing the appearance of a water person.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Mo was slightly silent when he saw this, and then said calmly.
Then he patted Lin Jue's butt, winked at him, and asked him to take Lin Min to find his mother.
He really didn't expect Chi Gun to come to his door.
Because he had returned for so long, very little news about Chi Gun spread in the Seven Seas, and he deliberately hid himself, so everything was safe and sound.
Now he suddenly appeared and knew his exact identity...
"Since we are comrades in arms, why did you come to me now? You broke the agreement. Do you... want to die?" Lin Mo looked at the person in front of him and said calmly.
But his gentle eyes suddenly became sharp.
The waterman, who had been smiling and looking eccentric, suddenly stiffened his expression.
I just feel like I am truly in the deep eyes of the abyss, and the water element seems to be stagnant.
Recalling what the man in front of him did on Baili Island, he rubbed his hands.
"I didn't break the promise. Something happened before that hindered a lot of power in the organization. And Black Dragon, you hid it very well, so we couldn't contact you...
Don't worry, I will cover up your traces as soon as I find you, and your teacher will never come looking for you. "He added quickly.
Lin Mo's face brightened slightly when he heard this.
For the water man in front of him, it was not easy for him to kill him, but it didn't take too much effort.
But forget it about my teacher.
He still can't see through Yixuna's strength. Coupled with her extremely willful character, it would definitely not be a good thing if she came to her.
"Shuiren, tell me, why are you coming to me now?" Lin Mo asked, feeling much more relaxed. "Is it possible that you need me to perform a mission?"
"It is indeed necessary to complete the task." Shui Ren nodded lightly. Seeing Lin Mo's attitude, he felt relieved, but he still took half a step back without leaving any trace.
"This mission is very important, and it is also good for you and me. It involves a dragon gate..."
