In the secret room, a cool glass lamp exuded a light that was not too bright.
At this time, there were about a dozen spindle-shaped light black objects on the table. Under the light, dark streams of light flashed from time to time.
"That's right."
Yan Zhen didn't know why Lin Mo asked like this, he hesitated and nodded.
Since the last conversation between the two of them, he had followed orders and secretly leaked the burial place of the seeds in his memory to Zhou Shengjun's Yamen, and also destroyed many of them himself.
These seeds were brought back by chance.
Lin Mo nodded and didn't make any more noise, just using his two fingers slightly.
The seeds, whose material is similar to stones, slowly begin to deform like plants.
As the strength increases.
Some tiny white velvet-like things began to float on the surface, and the seeds exuded unknown liquid from the inside to the outside, making the whole thing a little moist.
When pinched, the elasticity increases, giving it a rubbery feel.
The unknown liquid came into contact with the air, emitting a faint fragrance, which contained a familiar taste.
Where is this smell?
Lin Mo fell into deep thought.
Yan Zhen on the side suddenly changed his expression when he saw Lin Mo was about to crush the seed.
"Sir, this is impossible."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of lightning flashed in Lin Mo's heart.
He remembered.
He had indeed been exposed to this smell before.
Qingfeng County, Sangyuan Mountain, that pool of ice and fire?
He subconsciously looked at the light blue pearl screen of talent. Sure enough, one of the red energy items jumped a tiny bit?
Snapped!
Seeds broken.
A crisp sound interrupted his thoughts.
Under the seemingly plump shell, there is shriveled white velvet.
At this moment, Lin Mo and Yan Zhen were both startled when a strange sound suddenly appeared in their ears.
An inexplicable feeling of palpitations crept into my heart.
Lin Mo suddenly became interested. With his current strength, even ordinary masters could not arouse their instinctive alertness. At this time, a seed did it?
He instinctively held his breath to guard against possible attacks.
The next moment, Lin Mo's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly and turned into bright golden vertical pupils.
Changes have occurred.
It is still a familiar secret room, but whether it is the wooden table made of nanxiang wood, the carved wooden frame in front of it, or even Yan Zhen who is half-kneeling in front of him, it is like a piece of white paper, and then it is covered by an invisible big hand.
, painted with an unknown gray-white color.
An indescribable feeling of deathly silence arose in my heart.
It was as if he was the only living creature in the world.
And unknowingly, Lin Mo discovered that his body had involuntarily entered a state of half-dragon transformation.
While breathing, there is white mist, thunder and lightning.
The red dragon scales glowed faintly.
interesting.
Lin Mo stood up and wanted to take a look at the outside world.
Suddenly, the dry seeds in my hand began to sprout.
Between the gray velvet, a purple bud poked out.
Then the buds and leaves spread out, and the leaves surrounded it, and finally it looked like an eye.
The whites of this eye are extremely large, but the pupils are almost non-existent, making it look a bit scary.
'Is it a series of changes caused by crushing this seed?'
Lin Mo thought about the previous statement and exclaimed in surprise. After thinking about it for a while, he tentatively came to a conclusion.
hiss
Before he could think about it, a strange sound suddenly appeared in his ears.
Between the eyeball-like buds and leaves, a red, three-pronged snake-like organ slowly rose from the seed's eye.
Soon he was eye level with Lin Mo, and began to show his teeth and claws as if he were alive.
A soft murmur came to my ears. If I listened carefully, it sounded like countless people shouting at the top of their lungs.
But at this moment, Snake Xin, who was swaying, suddenly increased his speed and rushed towards Lin Mo quickly, biting his pupils.
Just the next moment.
Snapped!
Lin Mo's palm as big as a millstone suddenly fell from the sky, the thunder light and the hot breath intertwined, and it hit the scurrying snake letter and smashed it to pieces.
puff.
A sound similar to the bursting of bubbles.
Everything is calm again.
The wooden table is no longer gray and white, and the wooden frame has regained its light brown wood luster.
Everything returned to calmness and normal color.
"Can you tell me what happened just now?" Lin Mo looked at the panicked Yan Zhen, closed his eyes, felt the changes in his body, and asked softly.
Yan Zhen opened his mouth, looked at the burnt black seed in Lin Mo's hand, and swallowed.
"The seeds are the biggest secret of black Buddhism. When the Buddha's head came into contact with the people there in the Tongzhen Forest in the Yuzhou area, he brought these seeds back." He began to explain softly,
"The purpose is for those in the teaching to awaken their spiritual roots, but this is rarely the case. After all, compared to setting up rituals by yourself, the mana of the seeds is too strong and can easily backfire.
Therefore, it is generally only used for 'spring plowing', that is, the production of strange beasts."
"Awakening of spiritual roots, ritual spring plowing."
The magic power Yan Zhen said was too strong. Does that mean that the scene just now was an illusion, created by this so-called seed, similar to the Qingfeng County plague?
Lin Mo put the seed shell that was burnt black by the lightning on the table and recalled the weird scene just now.
In fact, to be honest, Weird Snake Xin was not too difficult to deal with in the end, but the evil nature of the inexplicable whispers before it made him feel a little nervous.
That kind of sound is similar to the secret skills of divine souls. Its effect is to enchant the soul. It feels like the weird white light used by Du Tianxiong when he fought with him before.
If the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye hadn't exerted its power in time at that time, it's impossible to say that he would have really mastered the Tao.
This is true for him, let alone the others.
"Can such an effect be achieved using only the mana temporarily stored in the seed?"
Even Lin Mo was a little shocked.
This is like being able to kill an enemy thousands of miles away without moving. You don't need to think about it to know how powerful this so-called seed owner is.
If nothing else, he must not be a grandmaster, and a great master can compete with him.
"Is this magic power? In terms of retention alone, it does seem to be much more powerful and weird than the power of mind.
But it’s normal. In essence, Yi Jin is just a derivative of Qi and blood, with some divine will added at most, while mana is directly the blend of divine will and Qi and blood, similar to the combination of matter and spirit.”
The difference between the two is the difference between combination and combination
There is no doubt that if the hidden dangers left behind during cultivation are not taken into consideration, the cultivation method of Qianyu Realm is several levels higher than that of Chixian.
In fact, this was the reason why Lin Mo worked so hard to practice the Qinghua Seal in the Dongji Qinghua Immortality Sutra.
But as he became more proficient in his skills, he became a little worried.
Whether everything can go as he imagined.
However, after today's incident, it seems that the impact of normal rituals is less than the impact of this kind of rupture.
"You can't become fat with just one mouthful of rice. Maybe you can try it in small portions. This way you can avoid unknown dangers and it's also a way to become stronger than ordinary people."
Lin Mo looked at the cracked seed shells on the table and remembered the sudden change in the sky fire some time ago, and his mind started to spin.
He lowered his gaze to Yan Zhen, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Yan Zhen, is your new method also practiced by the Dongji Qinghua Sutra of Immortality?"
"Yes, this is the fundamental scripture for the Buddha's head to connect to the immortal veins over there." Yan Zhen replied in a deep voice, his thoughts flowing in his mind, guessing Lin Mo's thoughts.
"Then you can start teaching the cultivation process and the precautions from now on."
Lin Mo stood up, put all the seeds in his bag, walked up to Yan Zhen, looked down at him, and said softly.
"It's my honor." A look of astonishment appeared on Yan Zhen's face, but he responded quickly the next moment.
Lin Mo nodded, gently pressed his palm on the top of his head, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to try this so-called new method of practice.
Of course, we are not copying the whole set, but making breakthroughs based on our own characteristics and taking advantage of the talent beads.
Afterwards, the two began to formally practice the new method.
There is no doubt that the new method of Qinghua Seal in Yan Zhen's hand is the same as that on the black bottle. It has also been specially explained and taught. Compared with Lin Mo's solo practice, the effect is much better under the guidance.
The practice of sealing, which was already coming to an end, is now getting familiar with it at an extremely fast speed.
And just when Lin Mo started to practice the new method, several major events happened in Huaiping City, which was already experiencing turmoil and undercurrents, and it started to become really turbulent.
One is the upstart chamber of commerce at Taihuai Ferry, the Blue Split Whale Trading Company, which officially joined forces with the Huaiyin Chen family. Their power surged instantly, forcing the few remaining strong chambers of commerce to join forces and look for backers, so they could no longer resist.
During this period, there were many conflicts and collisions, resulting in a lot of damage. After the mediation of the Yamen, it was reluctantly stopped.
The second is that someone in the city suddenly reported a large number of prohibited goods locations, which finally attracted the attention of the Yamen. Suddenly, the intensity of the search for prohibited goods increased by several levels, and many people were arrested.
There were unavoidable accidental injuries among them, but it was just a matter of right and wrong. It was better to kill than to let go. Under the yamen's ban, dozens of heads were chopped off in a row.
The meaning is obvious, no matter whether it is right or wrong, just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
The killings instantly frightened the people, and even though there was no explicit curfew, the number of people traveling at night dropped by nearly 90%.
Fortunately, at this time, Taoist Aunt Yunying, the head of the Lingxi Villa, known as Taoist Sister Fairy, heard about the matter and stood up and went to the general office to negotiate in person.
Finally, the hard work paid off. Under his advice, the Yamen relented and added an interrogation procedure after arresting the traffickers of banned goods before executing them, in order to avoid indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
For a time, Taoist nun Yunying's name became very popular among the people, and it also set off a wave of people coming to Lingxi Villa.
the other side.
Wang Shouyi sleeps less and less recently.
I usually go to bed at three or four in the morning, get up at six or seven, and then go out to deliver goods, set up a stall, and start my day's life.
The reason is that on the one hand, he took orders from Baoguang Temple, which greatly increased the amount of cake cutting he had to do every day, and on the other hand, he was not sleepy at all even though he slept for such a short period of time!
Every time after practicing martial arts, he was so exhausted that he fell into bed and fell asleep.
It was only a short period of one or two hours, but ever since the willow tree that covered the sky and sun appeared in his dream, his sleep quality had gotten better and better.
In this way, the time spent practicing martial arts will be greatly increased.
In addition to setting up stalls, buying materials, and practicing martial arts all day long, it was extremely fulfilling.
In this state, Wang Shouyi was extremely happy, and even the terrifying murmurs in his dreams every night became kind and sweet.
On this day, Wang Shouyi sold cut cakes as usual, but when he was about to close the stall, the woman came again that day.
"Sister Wu, will this be the deluxe version of cake cutting?" Wang Shouyi greeted enthusiastically.
During this period of getting along, he also learned the other person's name, Wang Ying, who was the descendant of a master in Baoguang Temple, so he got the purchasing job.
"Yes, give me a deluxe cut cake."
Wang Ying's complexion was dull, no different from before. However, if you look closely, you can see that her complexion is a little bad, as if she has been worried about something recently.
"Okay." Wang Shouyi nodded with a smile and cut a big piece of cake.
Wang Ying took the cut cake, then took out a handful of silver from his arms and threw it on the wooden cart.
"You've been doing a good job lately, cutting and making cakes with great care. Keep the extra money yourself."
"You can't do this, Sister Wang." Wang Shouyi quickly pushed away the remaining silver.
"I do my duty as I should. Since I'm selling this thing, I have to sell it well. Isn't this worthy of praise?"
However, Wang Ying seemed to have made up her mind and took a half step back, smiling for the first time.
"By the way, are you busy tomorrow?" He changed the subject and asked.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"I want to eat the cakes early tomorrow. Can you deliver them to Baoguang Temple about an hour and a half earlier than usual?"
"That's okay, it's okay." Wang Shouyi thought for a moment and immediately responded with a positive attitude.
"It's just that point, how do I get in?"
"I will ask the novice on duty that day to wait for you in front of the door. When you arrive, just knock on the door."
"Okay." Wang Shouyi smiled and nodded, "Since it's Sister Wang who's eating this time, I will definitely use enough ingredients, so don't worry!"
"Well, just do it as normal, thank you." Wang Ying was stunned, hesitated for a while, and said softly.
"hey-hey."
After that, the two people said hello and separated.
But Wang Ying took two steps, turned back, and put down a handful of silver again.
This time Wang Shouyi naturally refused to ask for anything, but Wang Ying was very stubborn, so he dropped it and waved his hand and left.
When Wang Ying's figure disappeared into the crowd, Wang Shouyi rubbed his hands happily, feeling warm in his heart.
He once again felt the long-lost warmth.
He chuckled.
Wang Shouyi began to close the stall.
The stall will be closed early tonight because the delivery time has been advanced and he needs to prepare the goods in advance.
This will inevitably cause losses. Even if the night market is in a downturn, at least there will be a loss of nearly two silver, but Wang Shouyi is very happy.
He is the kind of person who will be twice as kind to you if you treat him well.
Thinking of this, Wang Shouyi pushed the wooden cart excitedly and rushed towards his residence.
At about 3:30 in the morning, Wang Shouyi rushed to Baoguang Temple pushing a wooden cart.
There were very few people on the street at this time, the sky was extremely gloomy, there was no starlight, and the temperature was extremely low.
It's normal. At this point, there aren't many people on the street usually. After all, this is Baoguang Temple, not one of those barricade places. In addition, the Yamen has recently started a strict search operation, so there are naturally fewer people.
Wang Shouyi rubbed his hands, pushed the cart to the gate of the mountain, stopped at the entrance, and strode to the gate of the temple with two cages of cut cakes in hand.
Before, it would have been impossible with his physical strength, but now it was a piece of cake.
Wang Shouyi gently put down the cake-cutting box and knocked on the door.
All the movements are very skillful, after all, I have done it many times.
Boom, boom, boom!
There is rhythm and regularity.
A dull sound echoed in front of the steps.
But no one answered.
Boom, boom, boom.
Knock again.
Still no response.
What's going on? Is it possible that the young novice at the gate fell asleep? Or did Sister Wang forget to notify?
Wang Shouyi felt a little strange in his heart. After thinking about it, he put his ear in front of the door.
There is no sound.
"Is anyone there?" he tried to call out softly.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
Wang Shouyi was a little puzzled. After thinking about it, he took off his clothes, wrapped the two boxes of cut cakes to prevent them from getting cold, and continued to knock on the door at intervals.
About half an hour passed.
The sky was filled with bright light. The rising sun moved from far to near, forcing the morning light into a line and breaking through the dark clouds.
By this time, the cut cake was already cold. Wang Shouyi sighed and had no choice but to leave first.
Mentioning the mountain gate again, the box is placed on the wooden cart.
Wang Shouyi was very confused as he pushed the car home.
Is it possible that Sister Wang really forgot to inform the little novice monk on night duty?
In the end, after much deliberation, I could only come up with this guess.
Wang Shouyi shook his head. In this situation, he really couldn't do anything, so he had to go home first and think about going to Baoguang Temple to ask questions during the day.
