"My name is Yuan Zhen." Yuan Zhen was a little nervous and hesitated for a moment before saying.
Not as skinny as usual at all.
Lin Mo nodded, thoughtfully.
At this time, Shou Jie and others who were practicing boxing and meditating in the distance also saw what was going on here and came over together.
The three of them looked at Lin Mo placing his hand on Yuan Zhen's head, and suddenly had some suspicions.
"Senior brother, Yuan Zhen is the top disciple of my generation in Gaoshan Temple. He is extremely talented." Shouguan took two steps forward and said softly.
"The talent is really good."
Lin Mo nodded and glanced at the young monk beside him.
Although the other party was still a little nervous, at least his expression had calmed down.
His character is pretty good, at least he's not a timid person.
"How old are you this year?"
he asked again.
"Age." Shou Quan looked at Lin Mo. He seemed to have guessed what Lin Mo was thinking, but he was not sure.
I was a little surprised and a little nervous.
"Yuanzhen is now sixteen and seventeen this year. He has been practicing martial arts since he was fifteen, and it has only been less than two years.
And I broke through the Qi and Blood realm not long ago."
As Shouguan spoke, he looked at Yuan Zhen in front of him, his eyes full of love.
"I have also stayed in our sect and met many talented and proud people, but I am confident that if Yuan Zhen had the same conditions since he was young, he would not be much weaker."
Lin Mo didn't reply immediately. He stretched out his hand and touched an important part of Yuan Zhen's body like lightning.
"It's not a breakthrough recently. The energy and blood are stable and the body is tough. It should have been a breakthrough for a long time. Is it two years before the death?"
"Have you already broken through Li Ming?" Shou Quan's eyes were confused, and then he looked at Yuan Zhen with an embarrassed look on his face. He suddenly understood something and didn't know what to say.
This little boy of mine has learned nothing else, so his stubbornness is self-taught.
But then he seemed to think of something and grabbed Yuan Zhen's hand.
"Since senior brother is here, I won't go into details. Although my disciple's talents are not as good as those of real geniuses, I am very passionate about martial arts. I happen to know how to repay kindness and know the right and wrong.
I really can’t teach you junior brother, so senior brother, if you think it’s appropriate, why don’t you accept Yuan Zhen?”
He looked serious. In fact, this was a choice he had been considering for a long time.
This time, the crisis at Takayama Temple completely made him understand that troubled times were coming and the previous rules no longer applied.
In other words, the rules set by the Great Zhou Dynasty are no longer enough to protect one party.
If you don't have the strength or are unlucky, you will die on the spot.
But now is a good opportunity. With Lin Mo's identity and strength, if Yuan Zhen can be accepted as his disciple, if nothing else, the road ahead will definitely be much smoother.
Lin Mo was lost in thought. He didn't expect Shou Quanhui to suddenly come.
Two years after he was established, his appearance is indeed extraordinary. Not to mention in Yueshan County, even in Huaiping he is a little genius, almost the same as Xu Chengyuan at the beginning.
And he actually values the other person's understanding more.
Being able to understand the inner eye of Shura Tao all at once is such an understanding.
In other words, it is not impossible for him to be at least a grandmaster in the future, or even a great grandmaster.
only
Throughout the ages, people who have taken on apprentices have mostly asked for help in supporting the business when they grow old. Lin Mo was confident that this day would never happen, so naturally he didn't need it.
Besides, it's too troublesome. In troubled times, having a disciple is a burden. Even if you have good talent, it still takes time to grow.
In other words, if you accept her, she will become a nanny, and he has no intention of doing so.
Lin Mo looked at the two of them, Shouguan had a hopeful look on his face, and Yuan Zhen, who was originally calm, had his eyes twitching slightly, full of expectation.
He shook his head and said, "I have no intention of accepting a disciple for the time being. If you really want to become a disciple, you can send him to our sect. I think passing the exam shouldn't be a problem."
However, as he said this, he took a few bottles of elixirs that he had refined in the Destiny Realm before from the empty stone ring and handed them to Yuan Zhen's hands.
"Meeting each other means we are destined to practice martial arts together."
"No need"
When Yuan Zhen heard that she was rejected, her breathing became a little rapid and she felt a little disappointed. She looked at the jade bottle in her hand, squeezed out an unsightly smile on her face, and declined.
Lin Mo smiled, said nothing, and just touched his head again:
"If you're not convinced, just practice martial arts and strive to become a master. Then I'll accept you!"
He is not stingy with his kindness to outsiders who have no grudges.
"Grandmaster, just wait and see!"
Yuan Zhen was startled, then his whole body started to tremble, and there seemed to be light in his eyes, and he said loudly.
Lin Mo nodded, took back his hand and said no more. He gave Wang Songtao and others a look, and then nodded to Shou Jie and others.
Move.
At this moment, Yuan Zhen, who was holding the medicine and looking excited, seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Mo's tall back.
"Sir, you haven't told me your name yet."
"The master of Qingliang Temple of Lingtai Sect, Lin Mo."
Lin Mo paused slightly, turned around, nodded kindly, and then continued walking out.
A group of people walked all the way down the mountain.
"Sir, what shall we do next?" Wang Songtao asked in a low voice.
He is also a bachelor now. Based on the performance of the two of them in previous battles, they are very different in strength. They can't beat each other and they don't want to die. They are very cooperative.
"Of course I take the initiative." Lin Mo said in a brisk tone without turning around, "Since you have offended someone, you will simply offend someone to death. Doesn't it mean that there is some recovery time on every spiritual map? Then go find one."
Snake Valley.
Lin's courtyard.
The Coiling Snake Lin family has been a snake-raising family since ancient times. With their snake-raising skills and snake-control skills, there are many masters. In addition, they sell snake gallbladders and elixirs, etc., and they are not well-known in the Yueshan area.
Of course, it is only limited to Yueshan.
After all, there is no grandmaster, and the name is limited to the county level at most.
However, the Coiling Snake Valley at this time was no longer as lively as it used to be.
In the meeting hall, warriors with burning energy and blood were sitting among them.
At the top is Xing Yuanzhao, on the left is Ling Haonan, and several masters of the Six Fu Realm from the Coiling Snake Lin Sect are sitting on the right.
Looking at Xing Yuanzhao's appearance alone, with his red face, thick sideburns and beard, and a pair of piercing big eyes, he definitely looks like a hero.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
During the Taizhou period, the master of the Linyun Martial Arts School, Izumo Jiaolong Xingyuanzhao, was a top martial arts hero. He was not only strong in strength, but also magnanimous and upright in his actions.
To avenge his friends, he hunted down the notorious Yanyun Sixty-Four Bandits in Taizhou for three years and drove him completely to the bitter cold of Hanzhou, making him famous all over the world.
Before the battle in Baize City, no one could have imagined that he would do such a thing.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, it's like three autumns. I thought Brother Ling had gone to another state, but I didn't expect he was still here."
Xing Yuanzhao looked at the people beside him and said with a complicated expression.
"The original plan was to leave tomorrow, and it's not a long trip to another state. I'm just tired and exhausted, and wanted to take a rest. I happened to see Brother Xing's signal before leaving, so I came here for a walk."
Ling Haonan was dressed in white. He was also in his forties. Even his temples were frosty white. He looked a little haggard.
Xing Yuanzhao remained silent.
The two people's eyes intertwined, and they didn't know what to say.
The person in front of him is his good friend. In fact, he is not too friendly. At first, he was just an acquaintance.
However, after the battle in Baize City, the two met by chance on the Taihuai River, and their relationship became much closer, creating a different kind of friendship.
"Don't talk about me anymore. With Brother Xing's grand appearance, is it possible that he really has plans to come back?" Ling Haonan was the first to break the awkward atmosphere and said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of Brother Ling's jokes. Since last time, I've felt really uneasy and wanted to go back, so I asked Brother Ling to help me."
Xing Yuanzhao smiled bitterly, not minding the people present, and sighed directly.
"Go back?"
Ling Haonan was silent and in a daze.
Human beings are such complex creatures. Whenever they make a difficult decision, they will regret and feel regretful. However, little do they know that such emotions are mostly self-comfort after knowing that time is irreversible.
'It's just that there is nowhere to go back.'
He smiled. "I'll help you."
Then he started asking about the whole story.
Half a cup of tea.
"What are you going to do?" Ling Haonan asked softly.
"According to my information, the opponent should still be in Gaoshan Temple. He should be injured and recovering from his injuries. After all, Wang Songtao is not weak in strength. He is in the realm of the three levels of Grandmaster. His Guanyang Iron Hand also has some firepower, so he is not a weak hand.
What we have to do is to go directly to the door and kill him." Xing Yuanzhao picked up the tea next to him, drank it in one gulp, and wiped his mouth.
"The other party is not a fool. If he was really injured, he would not move at that high mountain temple. Is there a scam?" Ling Haonan had some doubts.
"That's why I'm looking for Brother Ling." Xing Yuanzhao nodded with a calm expression, "If the other party can conflict with us over a Gaoshan Temple, the two must have a deep connection.
Therefore, even if there is fraud, with the combined efforts of you and me, we can ignore any conspiracy.
In the worst-case scenario, people from Koyama Temple can also be used as threats. Although it is a bit disgraceful, we can’t care so much.”
"This works."
Ling Haonan thought for a moment and nodded, and then the two began to discuss.
In fact, the plan is not too complicated, because the real solution depends on strength.
The key is the word "quick".
A lot of time has been wasted waiting for Xing Yuanzhao. If it is delayed any longer, things will change, and the Lingtian area will be opened when there is no time.
Situ Kong has also urged him many times, and his tone is more unkind every time.
Hiss hiss
The sound of snakes and pythons was heard outside the house.
There are many snakes in Coiling Snake Valley, which is why the Lin family established their clan here.
There is also a special snake festival every year, and the Lin family hires pharmacists to prepare aphrodisiacs to help the snakes in the mountains mate.
Counting the days, it’s actually coming soon.
However, the masters and elders of the Lin family in the meeting hall had no idea at this time.
Nowadays, the life and death of the Lin family in Panshe Valley is limited to the hands of others, like the fish on the chopping board. I can't even take care of it, so how can I think about anything else?
Hiss hiss
For some reason, the sound of snakes began to increase in number, became mixed, mixed into the wind, and became a new noise.
Xing Yuanzhao, who was talking about something, couldn't help but frown and looked at the heads of the Lin family with a somewhat unkind expression.
But just when he was about to speak, his expression changed slightly.
Among the sounds of snakes in the wind, there are other sounds.
Pa tap, tap tap.
It's becoming more and more obvious.
It's the sound of footsteps.
The other party had no intention of hiding it.
As the footsteps became louder, the snoring of the snakes became more and more impatient, as if they were very uneasy.
Xing Yuanzhao raised his hand and looked at Ling Haonan.
The two looked solemn.
At the same time, he stood up and looked towards the courtyard door in the distance.
Squeak.
Gently, the door was slowly pushed open.
It's like a visitor has arrived.
A tall man in black clothes walked in directly.
His complexion is pale, but his facial features are as sharp as a knife, there is a mysterious black symbol between his eyebrows, his hair is shawl-black, and his eyes are like a dead stream in the Taihuai River.
Extremely profound.
"There are indeed a lot of snakes in the Snake Valley. I specifically found this place. The spiritual field should be nearby." The voice was low and calm.
"Who are you?!" Xing Yuanzhao and Ling Haonan walked out and asked in a deep voice.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Uninvited guests come with bad intentions.
Coupled with the other party's burly figure, calm demeanor, and mention of the spiritual field, there must be someone to rely on.
Hiss hiss.
At this time, snakes and pythons were crawling out of the entire courtyard from all directions.
Some are big and some are small, some are solid and some are white.
The dense swarm of snakes is enough to make those who are afraid of crowds feel uncomfortable and faint.
This is the snake formation.
As the meeting hall of the Lin clan in Coiling Snake Valley, it is naturally a key area and is home to many snake species.
Anyone who enters without being sprayed with special chemicals will be attacked.
But amid the hissing, Lin Mo didn't seem to care at all and just glanced at it.
Snap.
The snakes and pythons that were rushing to swim all froze in an instant, as if they had cast a restraining spell, and remained motionless.
Some of the snakes and pythons that stood upright and were in attack state fell to the ground like dumplings.
Lin Mo walked calmly among the snakes. Every time he took a step, the snakes under his feet spontaneously parted ways.
His eyes fell on the opposite side.
Among the crowd, one of them was Xing Yuanzhao, and there was another person beside him whom he didn't recognize. His strength should be pretty good.
As for the Lin family members in Coiling Snake Valley, he simply ignored them.
The strength of the Six Fu realm is no different from that of the snakes and pythons at your feet. They are both dead in one move.
"Who is your Excellency?"
No matter who the other party is, if he comes to visit like this, he will give him a lesson. At the moment, it is just a routine inquiry based on the rules of the world.
It's a process.
But Lin Mo naturally didn't understand these rules.
"Xing Yuanzhao? Hand over the spiritual map and I will spare your life."
Xing Yuanzhao was startled and then understood something, "Sure enough, you are here for the spiritual map, interesting! No matter who you are... you must die!"
While the two were talking, Ling Haonan on the side moved his eyes slightly and made a strange gesture with his fingers in his wide sleeves.
At the same time, invisible force like silk threads emerged from the tips of his ten fingers.
"Qianji: Wan Yayu." An inaudible murmur sounded.
"Feather Burial!"
The moment I finished speaking.
Puff puff!
The ground suddenly shook, and large black spots of light appeared out of thin air in all directions.
The light spot instantly solidified into the shape of an arrow.
Bang!
A soft sound.
Countless black arrows as dense as ox hair pulled out long black rays of light and formed a net, suddenly surrounding the forest.
Ling Haonan took a step forward, his hair flowing freely without wind, his energy and blood surging to the extreme, and the invisible energy condensed into substance twisted the air.
The entire courtyard was enveloped in the sound of whirring through the air.
The Grand Master’s divine will connects the exterior scenes, it’s so terrifying!
The Lin family masters on the side were stunned.
But the strange thing was that Lin Mo stood motionless, letting the black arrows fall into a black curtain.
Slowly reach out your hand.
"The formless realm arises."
In an instant, a low shout came from the darkness.
Dang!
A soft sound suddenly spread.
Then it started to reverberate continuously.
The black feather that originally shot away froze for an instant, and then began to spontaneously break apart.
The black curtain covering the sky slowly receded, turning into real gray.
But the original white palm in the center turned into a strange hand with gray-black scales.
"Is this the level of a great master?"
"If you only have this ability"
Behind the black hand, a huge shadow slowly walked out.
