Among the peaks of Lingtai, on top of Cihangdao Mountain, Jue'an sat alone on the top of the peak.
There was a tinkling of rain this morning at five o'clock, and the sun was just beginning to break. At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the morning fog had disappeared, coating the body of the Taoist on the cliff with a golden glow.
Behind the Taoist, a man nearly three meters tall, with black hair and a red cassock, walked slowly over.
Although his eyes are obviously closed, he gives people the feeling of taking a leisurely stroll. It is none other than Li Shenxiu.
"In the blink of an eye, in just a few years, Junior Brother's realm of Eyeless Zen has deepened, and he should not be far from the realm of Eyeless Zen." Jue'an said calmly without looking back, with no expression on his face.
"Retributions are all born from the roots of the world, causes and conditions are no longer visible and have no traces, no eyes are ever invisible, withered and prosperous birth and death are complete.
My heart has always been empty, so why should I be so empty-headed?"
Li Shenxiu just walked up to Jue'an, still not opening his eyes. The moment he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and the rolling sea of clouds immediately stopped, as if accepting his touch.
Jue'an's eyebrows were lowered, and his heart was raised to the sky.
"I know the purpose of junior brother's coming, but I am afraid that I will disappoint junior brother. You should know that we have never been able to control our position." He said in a deep voice.
Li Shenxiu slowly opened his eyes, which were still as white and flawless as if they were only the whites of his pupils, and looked at the person beside him.
"The death of Zhenzhuan really needs to be investigated to get to the bottom of it, but now there are no clues at all, so it is inappropriate to act like this."
The voice is still calm, but if you listen carefully, it seems to be a little bit more violent.
"Cihang Pudu." Jue'an muttered in a low voice, stood up slowly, glanced at the skinny fruit tree not far away from the corner of his eye, and then looked at the pale pupils, his face showing a hint of solemnity.
"Nanming County Yueshan Xidian and his party, my Cihang lineage, Bi Xuejun, encountered misfortune on the way back. He was beaten to death by strangers in front of dozens of people, and a great master protector was seriously injured. In the end, the true monarch's blood was also killed by others.
obliterate,
In fact, if it is just like this, then that’s it. After all, the world is in chaos, and people’s life and death are like candles. But among the Lingtai Sect, the only one who died was my Taoist Nun Xue Jun..."
"Perhaps he has enemies with outsiders? This is trivial." Li Shenxiu shook his head.
"It is indeed a grudge, but I am afraid that it is not an outsider." Jue'an's voice was calm and low, "You and I both know that Taoist Aunt Xuejun had a grudge with Lin Mo, your descendant, and Yueshan and his party happened to have some gaps, and what's more, it happened
Yes, the strength is enough, so... I want an answer."
Speaking of this, he actually felt a little shaken in his heart.
What appeared in his mind was the scene when Xiao Langao reported to him that Bi Xuejun, on his order, sent the Seven Ghosts of Meishan to intercept and kill Lin Mo.
Then he recalled that after that, the Seven Ghosts of Meishan failed, and even the main line of the Mei family at the foot of the mountain was destroyed. Bi Xuejun wanted to go down the mountain to take revenge, but because of Li Shenxiu's message, he ordered the cancellation of the action against Lin Mo.
Who would have thought that not long after this, the outcome would be reversed...
Therefore, in addition to simply wanting to avenge Bi Xuejun, I am more curious about why a grandmaster can exert the power of the True Lord to break the rumored Black Buddha Lotus Formation.
There must be a huge secret hidden behind it.
"The answer? Since Brother Jue'an wants the answer, I will tell you the answer." Li Shenxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the horizon, "Good causes produce good results, evil causes produce bad results, and the cycle of cause and effect is the truth."
"I wonder if brother is satisfied with this answer?" Li Shenxiu turned his head and looked at the Taoist beside him.
"Junior brother seems to be preparing to start a war with my Cihang lineage?" Jue'an raised his head and looked at the little giant-like monk beside him, with a hint of indifference in his voice.
"The Lingtai ancient temple is neither Taoist nor Buddhist, which is actually not good." Li Shenxiu shook his head, then smiled and said, "Ci Shan compassionate the river to save the evil followers, and opening the lotus to purify the Buddha is the sect. Maybe it is good."
Jue'an was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold and he also narrowed his eyes slightly.
In an instant, both of them exuded an inexplicable aura.
The breath is invisible and colorless, but it is huge and oppressive, as if it has substance, clashing and colliding with each other.
When martial arts reaches a certain level, both physically and spiritually, one is far superior to ordinary people.
Just the combination and intertwining of flesh and blood with divine will, resulting in a spontaneous life aura, can affect people or things outside at all times.
In fact, in the ancient proverb, a mountain is not high, it is named after immortals, among which immortals refer to people in this realm.
Almost instantly.
In the entire Lingtai Mountains, no matter whether they were humans or animals, their hearts sank, and a sense of uneasiness surged into their hearts.
This feeling is very strange, like there is a huge stone in my heart, and my scalp is numb for no reason.
There are martial arts masters who have reached a certain level in the mountains, and the impression is even better.
They all set their sights on the tall Cihangdao Mountain among the Lingtai Mountains.
I felt a strange color appear on the shore.
He is very strong.
The reason why Lingtai Sect is now dominated by Cihang is because of its strength.
As one of the two highest mountains in Huaizhou, the Lingtai Sect has never been short of geniuses, because those who can climb from the foot of Bieyuan Mountain to climb the mountain to climb the Taoist Order are all geniuses.
But in the past three hundred years, Jue'an was the only person with the highest talent in Lingtai.
At the age of thirty, he relied on the Cihang Sword Canon to gather his Dharma body and broke through four kalpas in a row. Then he turned to the Buddha's path and practiced the Buddha's path together to take another step forward.
Although it has not completely eliminated the false and retained the true, it has finally entered that realm with one foot.
He can be regarded as the first person in Lingtai Sect.
But now, something strange happened. Just in a confrontation with Li Shenxiu, he actually fell into a slight disadvantage?!
Thinking again of the other party's uncharacteristic words just now, Jue'an's pupils narrowed.
"Junior brother...are you...really taking that path??!"
Li Shenxiu didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes.
Jue'an sighed softly. When he got the answer, he did not hesitate and recited Cihang Pudu, and his anger disappeared instantly.
"Yes and no, it's just that the world is about to be in chaos, and if the Tao is still undecided, what will happen to the people?" Li Shenxiu finally spoke and said the Buddha's name.
"Brother Taoist's feelings today should be kept in mind."
After saying that, he turned around and left, heading down the mountain.
It shrunk to an inch and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the sun is shining brighter, and Jue'an is still standing on the top of the mountain.
For some reason, he recalled the past.
Within the Lingtai Sect, the three lines flow together, and there is indeed no shortage of geniuses.
Among them, the most amazing ones are like him. Whether it is the Three Meridian Competition or the Taihuai River Competition, he is the leader.
Since ancient times, the first one is easy to remember, and the rest is mediocre.
Li Shenxiu falls into the latter category.
Ordinary geniuses, ordinary encounters, ordinary people from inner disciples, to true disciples, to Taoists, and then ordinary people take over as the leader of the Lingtai lineage, and then succeed to Tianzun.
It's conspicuous, but it pales in comparison to true genius.
But now...
He thought he was high-spirited enough to even dare to merge Buddhism and Taoism, but his ordinary junior brother actually...
"Accompanied by green lanterns and sitting on Buddha lotuses, how can the Buddha's kingdom sink? Praise compassion, establish the eight branches of concentration, and treat outsiders lightly. It is truly extraordinary..." Jue'an sighed softly.
But now, heretics are so important...
He shook his head and turned to leave.
Dayan Mountain, Linjiazhuang.
After Xiaogu of the Nie family finished his business, Lin Mo took Ying Er directly back to the Lin family.
Also returning with him was Nie Yun.
Before leaving, he met with the head of the Nie family, King Nie Ren. The other party was indeed seriously injured, and almost all his internal organs were burned. If it weren't for the fact that the family's martial arts, Bingxin Jue, could suppress the poison of fire, he would have died early.
But even so, the opponent can only linger and rely on taking medicine to delay the injury.
It was precisely because of this that the other party finally entrusted Nie Yun to him based on the essence of Nie's hundreds of years of explanatory notes on Bing Xin Jue.
After returning to the Lin family, Lin Mo also kept his promise and allowed him to hold a modest apprenticeship ceremony. He actually had tea and officially accepted him as his disciple.
Afterwards, martial arts training, food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged, and then he started his latent cultivation.
The first one on the list was not the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit that he had placed great hope on, but the Bingxin Jue obtained from Nie.
This exercise is very good, and it is one of the few exercises that can maintain your state of mind.
In martial arts battles, whether it is the early stage of the physical realm, or a duel between masters, or even grand masters, in addition to the competition of hard power, more emphasis is placed on the battle of the soul.
Some people close their eyes when they see the punch coming, and some people hide when they see the knife falling. This is a spontaneous physical reaction, but in a fight, it is considered a failure in the spiritual confrontation.
This is also the reason why even a talented and proud member of a sect family, whose realm and skills are far beyond those of ordinary rangers, are still likely to overturn.
But Bing Xin Jue is different.
The special effect of its Yi Jin is to concentrate the mind and calm down the energy. After mastering the secret skill of mind as still as water, it will make a person have an effect similar to that of a person who is in authority and a person who is clear to bystanders in a life-and-death fight, which is very extraordinary.
What's more, according to Wang Yan, the head of the Nie family, Bingxin Jue is even miraculous in cultivating the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit and resisting Taoism.
Lin Mo, who was worried that he had no real spiritual skills to resist the inner demons and strange thoughts, was naturally even more satisfied with it.
This is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
After all the mundane matters were taken care of, he devoted himself to the study of Bing Xin Jue.
With Nie's hundreds of years of accumulated experience, coupled with Lin Mo's current martial arts foundation, cultivation is no problem.
The key to this skill lies in practicing the word "Ice Mirror".
There are three processes: one is to calm the air, the second is to freeze the ice into a mirror, and the third is to observe the ice.
Cultivation is very complicated and requires a lot of attention on martial arts talent. To put it simply, after reaching great success, it is similar to being able to condense a second personality with no sorrow, no joy, and no distracting thoughts.
This second sub-personality is like a machine, the most rational and calm.
Whether it is fighting or thinking, it is far beyond normal people.
A Nie family martial artist who normally practices Bing Xin Jue is considered a strong player in the same realm.
This is also the reason why King Nie Ren was able to transform into the first level with a divine transformation, fight against the Fire Qilin, and survive without dying, and even protected his family's relocation.
It's just that this kind of exercise, to be honest, has a kind of demonic nature. It splits the personality and recreates another person. It is also a left-right method.
It's even scarier than playing with poison or fire.
Because this is toying with people.
If you are not careful, you will drive people crazy.
As far as he knew, Nie suffered from a lot of mental illnesses every year.
Fortunately, Lin Mo has the gift beads.
Under the quantified data panel, you only need to solidify the perfect state, and then you can practice by accumulating proficiency.
The final 100% breakthrough is.
Therefore, with neither lack of experience nor auxiliary drugs, his progress can be said to be extremely fast.
In less than half a month, Bing Xin Jue is about to freeze into a mirror, which is the point of differentiation of personality.
And at this juncture, a letter came from the Lingtai Sect.
It was early in the morning, now after the beginning of spring, the snow had become lighter, and as the sun was rising, there were more chirping sounds on the small branches on both sides of the road in the village.
In the courtyard, Lin Mo got up early. After his daily morning exercises, he sat under the tree and read letters.
The letter is nothing else, but information, information sent from the Blue Dragon Society.
Although he did not personally take charge of Huaiping, he left a lot of secrets behind.
Even these secrets don't know each other, so it's easier for him to control them.
According to recent intelligence, business has become increasingly difficult.
Above the Taihuai River, the routes between Huaizhou and Taizhou have been almost completely interrupted due to the Allied Forces' attack on the Huaihe River.
Even the water bandits, who were once rampant, have died down and disappeared.
At the same time, the war situation between the two parties was also very tense.
According to information from the Blue Dragon Society, wars occur almost every day.
As for the upper and lower winds, I couldn't tell. I only knew that there was a steady stream of warriors going forward.
Not only on the river, but also in the city.
After Zhou He, the original leader of Huaiping Yamen, was transferred, another deputy commander of Zhou Shengjun was replaced, Tietong took office.
Although the situation remains normal on the surface, there is an undercurrent surging behind the scenes, with prices rising by a full 30%.
Fortunately, although business was difficult, Lin Mo had already anticipated it.
Prior to this, Xiao Zhengyang was assigned to secretly transfer forces inland and build a secret base in the mountains.
There are three cunning rabbit burrows, and there are quite a few of them.
But the general location is not far from Lin Yu.
On the one hand, it is because it is difficult to do business in Jiangyun, and on the other hand, it is to avoid disasters. To avoid disasters in Taizhou.
Now the plan has been quite effective.
The infrastructure of the base was almost completed, and a group of homeless people had been introduced early, and then farming and farming began.
Even the first batch of rice is almost ripe.
Don't be afraid even if something unexpected happens.
However, in Lin Mo's opinion, nothing major will happen in the near future.
After all, hundreds of years have passed, and if it should have been bad, it would have been bad long ago.
It took him about half an hour to read all the information, and then he took a cup of tea to reply.
After writing, spread the special potion developed, wait for the font to become invisible, then put it into the envelope, seal it with a lacquer seal, and wait for someone to deliver the letter.
And just then.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
The door was pushed open gently.
It wasn't anyone who came in, but Qingye.
At this time, Qingye's complexion looked much better than before. After all, he was a master. With the best healing medicine, his injuries recovered quickly.
On weekdays, he would also help Lin's people, go hunting in the mountains, and deal with the surrounding mountain beasts that were hungry in winter.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother, is there anything wrong?" Lin Mo stood up and put away a bunch of letters.
"It's true." Qingye approached slowly and looked at the true genius in front of him, who might be rare in his life.
"The sect has received a letter, and it's a gold standard."
"Letter? Gold label?" Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Senior brother, do you know what it is?"
Lingtai Sect Feishu has levels, divided into blue, red and gold. The importance increases in order.
"The gold-labeled letter indicates that my junior brother has personally read it. How can I know." Qingye's eyes were complicated, and after speaking, a simple letter appeared in his hand.
