Chapter 297 When time comes, heaven and earth all work together
Huaiping City, Si Ma Fang.
It was evening and the sun was setting in the west.
It was already this time when 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 stimulus can give people unexpected relaxation.
This is not the first time something like this happened today.
For a month, Lin Mo, apart from practicing martial arts, practicing sealing, and doing his daily shift at work, he spent the rest of his time helping Xiao Zhengyang and killing 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 plunder and set up checkpoints.
This has set off a new round of reshuffle in a field that was already a mixed bag.
Under such circumstances, if a force does not have someone strong enough to support its appearance, sooner or later it will be submerged under the rolling tide, and will either choose to be annexed by others, or choose to annex others.
Forced by helplessness, Xiao Zhengyang had no choice but 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 pretty 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 overwhelming 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 and calmed down a little. He began to take out his chopsticks and prepared to eat.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt a strong figure appear on the seat opposite him.
"Can I sit here?" said a thick voice.
Lin Mo raised his head and glanced around.
Opposite me is a middle-aged man in his forties.
His skin is fair and his facial features are sharp and angular. 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 the Qi nourishing 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 himself.
"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.
What a coincidence, 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 is naturally because of the letter of recommendation from the Beast Sect.
Because the owner of that extremely precious letter is the middle-aged man in front of me.
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.
What he was talking about was nothing more than the past.
For example, when he had conflicts with his family when he was young, how he ran away from home in anger, how he became a member of the Beast Sect and suffered a lot, or how he met his confidante while traveling in the world, and how he cultivated to this point step by step.
Finally, he started to tell some stories about Yun Shiya’s childhood.
He said that because he was cultivating 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 the call, just being a qualified listener.
The two of them walked as they talked, and soon they reached the main road of Si Ma Fang, Si Ma Street. It was already lunch 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 was obviously not very good. After all, the stall owner was a young Taoist priest in his early twenties, and he was really not able to convince the public. The banner of 'Book of Changes Fortune Telling' behind him looked 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, did not dare to look at the Taoist again, and continued to eat the big chicken drumstick.
Seeing this, the Taoist frowned and said, "Boy, you have to know that hexagrams should not 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 go into chaos, aren't you righteous enough?
An honest man has reached this point. Do you think asking for two cents from you is too much? 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 and 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 immediately startled. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to count it 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 suggest 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 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 brightly:
"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, "As the fortunes turn and bring joy, I take the stage to anoint Jiang Taigong as a god. It is extraordinary for Taigong to be a god. Even if there is misfortune, it will not be a disaster."
Not to mention, there is some truth in what he said, but combined with the unreliable remarks before, it makes people wonder whether all the lottery tickets in the lottery box are 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, Yun Tianhe felt relieved and took out a silver coin.
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, pushed the tortoise shell, turned the value talisman, threw the lotus tube, and drew out a lot in a serious manner.
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. There's no need to pay for it if I don't do it."
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 great blessing?" Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"This" the Taoist who originally looked embarrassed instantly turned pale and was stunned and 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 by yourself? 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.
"Weirdo, weirdo, then let's go high up the mountain and see if we can really be invincible?"
But when he finally put away the 'Book of Changes Fortune Telling' sign, he shook his head in denial with a stern face.
"It's hard, it's hard."
Walk to the end of Si Ma Street, then turn into a branch street, and 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 almost at the end. 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 this 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 walking.
Lin Mo didn't speak immediately. He just took out the black letter of the day from the empty stone ring and handed it to the person next to him.
"We are not suitable." He shook his head.
Yun Tianhe was startled, "Are you afraid?"
Lin Mo smiled, said no more, just turned around 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."
Behind him, Yun Tianhe lowered his voice and said.
Lin Mo stopped, tilted his head, and looked 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 regrets will not make people stronger, but the most important thing for strong people to stay away from is feelings.
In fact, you also understand that you did the same thing, didn’t you?”
After saying that, he turned around 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 he really didn't understand, he wouldn't be living alone in the Beast Sect, and he wouldn't go home only once a year.
But compared to him, Lin Mo seemed more ruthless and 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 hang down 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 devil. 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 he 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 willow branches, the body will become immortal,
After sacrificing the spirit, although the person who has completed it is dead, experiencing the growth of green is still a kind of hearing the Tao, and he will die in the morning."
There is an inexplicable fluctuation coming from the meat willow, and the scorching sun above the head is also covered with a touch of green if you look closely at it.
After a while, the willow tree opened a circular opening.
A pink ball of flesh and blood slowly rose up, the 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.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Roshan looked as if he was seriously ill. His face was much pale, but his eyes were filled with light, and he looked towards the giant city in the distance.
"Boss, is everything ready?"
At this time, Li Guang, a bald man, 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."
"I'm afraid I'll have 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. People will be destroyed if they don't do it for themselves. Besides, are we still human? Haha!"
Li Guang was startled, nodded vigorously, and then laughed as well.
