Chapter 250 The pawn crossing the river and speculation
At this time, dozens of miles away from Huaiping City, there was a deep cave in the Taihuai Mountains.
Although it is located deep in the mountains, it is exceptionally clean and quiet.
The whistling mountain breeze blew by.
All the insects and beasts disappeared under the sun, leaving only the rustling of fallen leaves.
It's so abnormal that it's scary.
The cave is dotted with white candles as thick as a child's arm. Under the flickering candlelight, strange-shaped stalactites cast strange shadows, twisting and squirming on the cave walls.
Keep moving forward.
The winding cave passage leads to a huge stone hall.
In the center of the hall is a huge banyan tree, dozens of meters high. Its lush crown connects to the dome above its head. Its lush branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun. Its blood-red roots hang down like rain. You can hear it in a trance.
The sound of clattering roots.
At this time, there were already more than ten figures standing under the tree. Under the dim candlelight, the figures were dimly illuminated.
The leader was a stout fat man with a kind face, his hands clasped together, and his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was praying devoutly.
Who is it if it’s not Roshan?
Behind Roshan are groups of black Buddhist elites wearing black monk robes.
To be able to set foot here, in addition to a certain level of strength, you also need a firm heart towards the Tao.
Slowly, as Roshan prayed in a low voice, the believers behind him also began to sing in a low voice, and the voices converged:
"Tao Tao. Tao."
"Xianxian.xian."
"If you sow a grain of wood in spring, harvest ten thousand trees in autumn, and use the wood to establish a path, you will become an immortal!"
The sound got louder and louder, and the low moan slowly turned into a low roar.
Suddenly a strong wind blew up in the cave, and the dense roots began to sway with the wind, making a popping sound. The wrinkled bark on the trunk became more and more intricately patterned, vaguely resembling a human face.
Red sap seeped from the wrinkled bark, as if it was blood.
Roshan, who originally had a kind smile, turned his smile crazy. The corners of his mouth curved upward, as if they were about to split. He raised his hands high, and light green buds began to grow on his white and tender skin.
The same goes for everyone behind him.
A faint green mist arises from nowhere and fills the entire space.
There are indescribable black shadows lingering in it.
The sound is getting smaller and smaller.
a long time.
The green mist dissipates.
Roshan collapsed on the ground with a contented look on his face, breathing heavily.
It can be clearly felt that the aura on his body is much stronger.
The other monks in black also had faces of joy, feeling the strength of their bodies and accepting this gift from an unknown place.
"Huh, sir, we are in a hurry over there and we are required to find a qualified person with spiritual roots as soon as possible."
A man in black clothes closest to Roshan had a pale face and three abscesses on his face, one on his forehead and two cheeks. His name was Ying Chang, and he reported in a low voice.
"Urgent, urged, urged, everyone is urging, the movement has been sensed over there." The smile on Roshan's face disappeared, he snorted and said angrily.
"How many complete seeds do we have now?" He said this, but he still asked after all.
"It can probably support three sowings." Ying Chang lowered his head, "If you imagine the last spring plowing in Shuangquan, it can only be said to be barely enough."
"It's just that we can't predict whether we can find the person with the spiritual root. After all, we haven't succeeded for so long."
He sighed.
"Elder, what exactly is this 'spiritual root'? Why do those people have to find it before they give up? Are you willing to pay such a price for it?"
Roshan raised his head and looked at the huge banyan tree in front of him.
At this time, the shadows of the trees are dancing, like spiritual trees.
Who knew that it only took less than three months for it to grow from a seed to now?
"No one is a fool. As far as I know, the 'spiritual roots' are over there, similar to our miraculous physiques and unparalleled talents.
The heights that such people could reach if they did not perish are beyond our imagination."
he explained.
"Then let's help look for it. Will nothing happen?" Ying Chang said in a low voice.
"When a genius has not fully grown up, it is like a caterpillar that has not turned into a butterfly. No one can say how beautiful it is. Besides, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. What are you afraid of?"
Roshan said disdainfully.
"Just carry out spring plowing. Let's put the area in Huaiping City. Don't we all want some movement? Then let's do a big one!"
"This is in Huaiping? There are masters in the city, even great masters. If something happens, it won't be easy to explain over there, right?" The man with the abscess on his face hesitated even though his heart was big enough.
Nowadays, Tianguan is being built in various regions. Families and sects in various regions have personnel quotas. Almost every day, there are destined masters and master warriors going there.
This kind of collusion with the enemy and the country, no, it is a matter of betrayal. If found out, not to mention the nine clans implicated, even those who have any close relationship will be executed one by one.
I am afraid that even the person with a distinguished status will not take action to protect him when the time comes, but will have a greater chance of being silenced immediately.
"What are you afraid of? As mentioned above, when the seeds germinate, the movement is extremely small, and even the great master cannot detect it. Moreover, you want benefits but do not want to take risks. You and I are not the heirs of heaven and man. How can such a good thing happen?
As for that side”
Roshan lowered his head, his face hidden in the shadows.
"Don't worry about that. I'm not his subordinate. Just do as I say and I will be responsible for all the consequences."
"Yes!" Ying Chang's eyes narrowed and he clasped his fists in salute.
Soon he called a group of people and walked out of the cave.
Soon, Roshan was the only one left in the stone hall.
He staggered toward the banyan tree in the center, and was hit in the face by the beards that looked like human hands, but remained indifferent.
Finally, he walked to the tree and gently stroked the intricate lines on the trunk.
There are three, six or nine levels of things, and there are high and low levels of people.
Some people are born with things that others cannot touch throughout their entire lives.
Some people's hearts are as high as the sky, but their lives are as thin as paper.
He hates doing things with a bloody body, but there is a saying that is true, how can a human being be a dog all his life?
Just like a soldier who can only cross the river all the year round, how can he get some refreshment?
He grabbed the red sap on the tree trunk, which was a little sticky, then rubbed his face vigorously, turned and left.
The only way is to be ruthless and to risk one's life.
At this time, Huaiping City, Tuanjie New District.
A remote house near the main road.
The furnishings of the house are very old, there is a thick layer of dust, and it has been unoccupied for at least several months.
Houses like this are not uncommon in Tuanjie New District. Most of them are owned by locals. There are new properties in other places, but these houses are left waiting for demolition.
But at this time, the house that had been uninhabited for a long time had some different changes. There was a faint fragrance in the air, which directly suppressed the musty smell.
inside the house.
Lin Mo rested his chin on his hand and looked deeply, sitting on the pear blossom chair with half of the armrests broken.
"You haven't said it yet?"
He whispered.
At his feet were the bodies of two men.
His body was covered with several small holes the size of fingers, and warm blood slowly flowed, soaked in dust, and spread along the cracks in the floor.
Their pupils were dilated, their faces were black and blue, and the muscles on their cheeks were spasming, as if they had suffered great pain before they died.
"You are the devil." Lan Xi lay on the ground in humiliation at this time, her vision blurred, but her consciousness was particularly clear because the other party had taken some kind of drug.
You can even feel the blood all over your body, slowly flowing out of your body with a feeble ticking sound.
This feeling of life slowly passing by is simply despairing.
What's more, there are
puff!
His thoughts were interrupted momentarily.
The body, which had long since lost strength, subconsciously curled up under the stress.
She turned her head with difficulty, and there was another bloody hole in her lower abdomen.
"You are the only one left this time. If you don't tell me, I will be very distressed.
So don't worry about your life being in danger, I promise to be extra careful." Lin Mo said softly.
As he spoke, he took back his fingers.
There were still drops of blood on it.
Ah!!.Ugh
The next moment, there was an unpleasant scream, but it stopped abruptly before it lasted for a breath.
Because Lin Mo removed his jaw.
Looking at the woman who was curled up on the ground like an insect, scraping the ground desperately, her whole body twitching, he nodded slightly.
The poison mixed with carrion grass and Yangjue flower is indeed effective.
Seriously speaking, both of them have healing effects, but when mixed together with some seasonings, a special function appears.
That is, it can cause people to feel extremely frightened physically, feel difficulty breathing, and feel like being bitten by insects and ants chewing the bones and muscles all over the body.
This feeling is far beyond ordinary torture, and even the most mentally strong people cannot endure it.
It can be said to be an excellent means of extorting confessions through torture.
It's about tea time.
The woman on the ground was as soft as mud, and her skin was bruised and bruised under her disheveled clothes.
She was breathing heavily and was so exhausted that she couldn't even adjust her clothes.
"I ask, you answer, explain things clearly, and I promise to give you a happy life. After all, living is not necessarily a happy life. You should feel it."
Lin Mo stood up, looked down at the woman at his feet, and spoke sincerely, as if he was persuading someone to turn back.
"I I said"
Lan Xi seemed to recall the initial feeling and spoke intermittently, "Baoguang. Black Buddha. Buddha."
Before he finished speaking, his face was filled with panic.
"no no"
His body was shaking violently, his hands were desperately grabbing the ground, and finally his head tilted, and light black blood flowed out from his seven orifices.
Lin Mo frowned and squatted down.
already dead.
But before the execution, he carefully inspected every corner of these people's bodies and found no poison between their teeth or anywhere else.
There is only one reason. These spies have been poisoned for a long time, but in a special way.
"interesting."
He stood up, sprinkled a large amount of colorless powder, and walked outside.
After a while, there were no traces in the house except for the faint scratches left on the bluestone.
On the main road.
As the main road in Huaiping, the street has a lot of people and is very lively.
There are special sidewalks on both sides of the road. This is a place where cars, horses and other animals cannot set foot. Therefore, every few steps, you can see vendors enthusiastically shouting and selling their goods, and children chasing and running around shouting.
Lin Mo was walking on the sidewalk and bought a bunch of candied haws from a vendor selling candied haws.
He chewed the sweet and sour candied haws and walked leisurely on the street. Except that he was taller, he was no different from ordinary people.
It was completely different from the ruthless people who just killed four people, men, women, old and young, and spared no one.
'Baoguang, Baoguang Avenue, Baoguangfang, or Baoguang Temple? What is the Black Buddha? Black Buddhism?'
Lin Mo weaved in the crowd and walked towards his residence.
At the same time, I was thinking while walking.
The clues that can be obtained at this time are nothing more than these incomplete pieces of information, and these are the most relevant terms in the surrounding area.
At present, the most likely ones are Baoguang Temple and Black Buddhism.
After all, the former Baoguang Avenue is just a rough place name. It is located in Baoguangfang, and Baoguang Temple is also located there.
Not to mention Black Buddhism.
It can be said that no one dares to use the word "Black Buddha" falsely. During this period, the momentum has been even greater, and it has made the headlines of "Meet in Huaizhou" several times.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo quickly recalled the relevant information about the two in his mind.
Baoguangfang is also located in the inner ring of Huaiping, not far from Lingmiaofang. It is famous for its glazed and Baoji buildings that lead to the street.
Once the weather is very good, it will be known as "the market in the sky is shining brightly".
Baoguang Temple, on the other hand, is a master force. The abbots and abbots of the past generations have inherited the name of Baoguang. It has been passed down for a long time. It moved here from Yuzhou hundreds of years ago, and its strength is extraordinary.
As for Black Buddhism, it is a cult, similar to Universalism, except that the movement was not as big as the latter before, and it has only recently begun to make some noise.
All in all, they are not forces that are easy to get along with.
He sighed and quickened his pace.
The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, but that's all.
From Dalong Mountain to here, he just wanted to reach Lingtai Sect safely, and he almost never did anything to cause trouble.
The only thing that could be said to be impulsive was beating up Jiang Jing and the other two people.
But in his opinion, even if he didn't take action that time and let it pass, he wouldn't be able to survive anywhere.
It goes without saying that sometimes even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you.
At this point, there are only two choices you can make, either solve the trouble or solve the person who caused the trouble.
Lin Mo casually broke off the candied haws sticks after eating them, threw them into the trash can, wiped the candy stains from the corners of his mouth, and strode forward.
The largest club on Huaiping Street is the White Bird Club.
Wang Shouyi arranged his clothes in front of the glass mirror at the same height as the person, then picked up the club's special spices on the table and sprayed it briefly.
It is said that this thing is not cheap, and the owner of the club spent a lot of money to get it from a pharmacist friend.
The raw materials are various rare flower species, which are natural and non-irritating, and can give people the most natural fragrance.
In fact, apart from the proper selection of people, the reason why the White Bird Club is one of the top clubs in Huaiping is also due to the spice.
It's almost time, he should go out.
The task is also simple, just to accompany him to drink and have fun. After all, the people who come and go in this club are all women with high status or strength.
People like this naturally need someone to accompany them when talking about things.
If you perform well during this period, in addition to doubling your salary, you can also get some tips. Sometimes the tips are higher than your salary.
It is said that two years ago, there was a senior who got a bottle of treasure elixir from a big boss because he had a sweet mouth. He directly broke through the realm of establishing a life without any side effects and truly reached the top.
It can be said that he became a role model for Wang Shouyi and others.
Of course, it doesn't sound good to say it out loud.
However, he doesn't feel ashamed, he doesn't steal or rob, he has hands and feet, he makes money by himself, and he is not shabby.
"I don't know when I will be able to break through the realm of destiny."
Wang Shouyi thought sadly.
But in a flash, he patted his face gently, trying to cheer up.
Because he was entertaining a big customer today, and his power behind him was amazing. This was the first time they met, and he wanted to leave a good impression.
He believed that with his own efforts, someone from a poor family could achieve great things.
Moreover, there are always many good people in the world.
For a moment, he thought of his elder brother Lin and the good sisters who had taken care of him all the way and were always kind and cheerful, and his heart was filled with strength.
