In this world, the purpose of recruiting disciples is actually very simple.
The first is to ensure that one's own kung fu has successors, so that the inheritance will not be lost; the second is to raise disciples to guard against old age. After all, fighting and killing in the world, a person is strong for a while, but cannot be strong for a lifetime.
Old age, weak body, weak Qi and blood loss are all human nature.
Taking on a disciple is a kind of insurance for oneself. No one wants to have a sad feeling like "the boys in the south village bully me because I am old and weak" when they are enjoying their old age.
But Lin Mo is different. The innate divine power brought by the Overlord's fate, coupled with the powerful talent base of Qinglong bloodline, Holy Demon Yuan Fei, etc., in terms of vitality alone, it is more vigorous and powerful than unicorns, dragons, and other strange beasts.
Of course he has nothing to worry about.
so……
It's enough to be obedient, honest, and behave yourself, and not to forget your ancestors.
He didn't expect any disciples to protect him, he just asked that he not be allowed to clean up the family.
That would be too troublesome.
Thoughts flashed through Lin Mo's mind, he shook his head, and as usual, picked up the intelligence letter beside him and read it.
Although he asked the sect for a holiday similar to a pregnancy leave, and during this period he basically stayed in the clan and was in a semi-retired state, he was not indifferent to the situation in the outside world.
Every other day, the intelligence channels of the Qinglong Society and the intelligence office of the Lingtai Sect will arrive on time via messenger birds.
To update Lin Mo’s understanding of the external situation.
Today's information is no different from usual, mostly trivial things.
For example, in which county or city, another gang of strongmen came out and killed so and so.
What kind of genius has appeared recently? He is not even close to the top, but he kills so and so, and at first glance he looks like a master, etc.
He glanced at it and didn't look any further.
For Lin Mo today, he doesn't care about ordinary geniuses or strongmen, no, even true geniuses and ruthless gangsters.
Because no matter how talented the former is, there is not enough time span to achieve success at all, while the latter can be included in the intelligence and known to others, which also shows that he is a person with no foundation. If you really meet him, he will be beaten to death, and there is no need to do so.
Take the trouble to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces.
Go through it once and get an impression.
But this last piece of information...
Lin Mo frowned.
According to intelligence, there are more and more soldiers on the Dahuai side of the Taihuai River, and the frequency of sneak attacks and invasion attempts is becoming higher and higher.
This is not a good thing.
It means that after this period of recuperation, the originally chaotic situation in Taizhou has stabilized. Dahuai, no, or should we say that there will be action in Qianyu Realm?
As for Luojia Mountain, there were no surprises.
The three levels of heaven, earth and people are being strengthened continuously, and with the help of people from Wangjing, the remaining three levels are being managed like iron barrels.
In addition, the defensive line has become smaller, and to some extent, it is more stable than before.
Bang bang bang.
Outside the yard, there were firecrackers.
From time to time there was the sound of children gasping and shouting.
It’s the New Year’s Eve again.
Lin Mo put aside the intelligence letter he had read, stood up and looked outside the courtyard.
Things are always improving.
With Lin Mo's support, Lin's life is getting better and better.
In the real inner village, some old wooden houses on the periphery were replaced with stone courtyards at the expense of the clan.
The floors are all paved with slate tiles. It is no different from other county towns.
As for the wall, a quarter of it was demolished in the first half of the year, and more than half of it was expanded again.
It directly encompasses an area, then clears forests and fields, plants spiritual sources, and turns it into a fertile spiritual field.
With a five- to six-meter-high wall and various traps and poison strains, Linjiazhuang has turned into a fortress.
Now, even if a beast tide breaks out, within the wall alone, the entire clan can be sustained by farming alone.
It can be considered self-sufficient.
For the people of the Lin clan who have a strong attachment to land in this world, it can be said that their sense of security has greatly increased.
But Lin Mo understood that if the tall stone wall outside Lin's Village was Lin's superficial sense of security, then he himself was Lin's real anchor.
The appearance of a strong man can cause a person to attain enlightenment and a chicken or dog to ascend to heaven; his disappearance can naturally cause a tree to fall and the hozen to scatter.
Compared to those long-standing wealthy families, the Lin family is still too weak.
He shook his head.
The Tathagata energy in the body is still merging and sublimating with the demonic energy released by the rebellious demonic source, slowly turning into Tathagata demonic energy.
And around the heart in the body, in addition to the ink-like troubled demon heart and the colorful five aggregates demon heart, a gray shadow of the heart is condensed.
This is the heart of the dead demon, the third demon among the four great demons.
Those who cut off the roots of life of all beings are called death, and those who are demons of death are said to be sentient beings, and all sentient beings will die in their infancy.
The meaning is very simple. Anyone or anything in the world with the five aggregates in the body has life, and if the life root is broken, it means death.
Therefore, the condensation of the dead devil's heart is also very simple.
One word, kill.
When one is destined to die, swallow his essence, absorb his spirit, and replenish his energy.
Through the death of all living beings, we can understand the boundary between life and death. After the mind of the devil of death is condensed, those who practice good deeds diligently will do the right thing in order to transcend death. They will be reborn in death, become emperors and demons, and gain great freedom.
Take advantage of the situation to condense the last emperor's free and demonic heart.
During this period of time, while he was adapting to his body after the breakthrough, he would also go to the mountains to kill in his spare time to condense his demonic mind.
Compared with the first two, this third demon heart has greatly increased the strength.
Because the intention is to absorb the energy and spirit of all living beings to supplement oneself, which is similar to the Dharma of absorbing energy in the previous life, and the Beiming Divine Art. If you kill people and seize treasures, how can you not be unhappy in accumulating wealth?
As for the accumulation of impurities in the body, there is no need to worry.
When you condense the fourth self-conscious demonic heart, you will naturally break through obstacles and gain great freedom.
Therefore, compared to the previous demonic hearts of troubles and five aggregates, this third demonic heart of death has the simplest conditions for condensation and the smallest risks.
It's just blood on your hands.
In the past, Lin Mo might have worried about gains and losses, but after experiencing a lot, his heart was already colder than he imagined.
Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.
Rather, it's more of a comfort.
"I finally became the person I hated most before."
Lin Mo sighed softly.
Hoho!
The bear behind him suddenly roared a few times. He thought Lin Mo was calling him.
Lin Mo smiled, stood up and prepared to walk out of the courtyard.
According to custom, it was time for him to accompany Lin Feier for a walk.
The ninth month of pregnancy is approaching, and you should actually take a good rest at this time. However, my husband’s physique is different, so I still need to move around every once in a while to avoid staying in bed all the time, which may cause bedsores.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
Before Lin Mo could ask any questions, a little monkey-like figure pushed open the door and barged in. It was Lin Shu.
At this time, he looked anxious, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he ran to Lin Mo panting.
When Lin Mo saw his appearance, he couldn't help but frown and scolded:
"Why are you panicking? You have to calm down when doing things. Calm down and forget it! Didn't I tell you on weekdays that no matter what happens, as long as I am here, Lin's sky will not fall?"
As he spoke, he walked over and patted his shoulder gently to calm his breathing.
Lin Shu regained his breath and grabbed Lin Mo's sleeve: "Brother! My sister-in-law's water broke just now. I heard mother said she was going to give birth..."
Before he finished speaking, his hand suddenly became empty.
Just now, the eldest brother Lin Mo, who was still chatting in front of me, disappeared without any trace!
"Didn't you say that you should calm down and calm down? You forgot again!"
Lin Shu couldn't help but scolded into the air.
Just then a snoring sound appeared, startling him.
After discovering that it was Xiong Da, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But I didn't dare to stay any longer and rushed back again.
the other side.
Lin Mo was naturally extremely fast, and returned to his courtyard in less than two breaths.
At this time, the courtyard was already filled with many people.
Lin Yuanshan, Lin Yuantian, etc. all came.
In the room, servants were constantly coming in and out, bringing hot water and clean towels.
With Lin Mo's keen senses, he could hear Lin Feier's wailing. The breath of his own life was rising and falling, constantly fluctuating.
At this moment, he wanted to rush in and take a look, but his reason told him that it was best not to.
He specializes in the art, and he may be better at killing people than the stable women there, but compared to delivering babies, he is definitely not as good at it.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but frown, and his fists in his sleeves clenched involuntarily. He had rarely experienced such a powerless feeling.
"Jun Mo, you don't need to worry. With Granny Ye here, Fei'er will be fine."
Lin Yuantian on the side felt a little sad when he saw this, and softly comforted him.
Grandma Ye was older than Lin Yuantian and others in terms of seniority. She was the wife of an elder and had been a stable mother all her life. She personally delivered babies like Lin Junyi and Lin Junhao. Her methods were very clever.
Back then, even among Lin Yu, his name was very loud.
Many wealthy families asked him to deliver babies.
"Uncle, I...I'm still a little nervous." Lin Mo turned his head, looked at Lin Yuantian, smiled reluctantly, and whispered.
His gaze continued to fall on the door.
Lin Yuantian didn't say anything when he saw this, he just patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.
They are all fathers, so he has naturally experienced this feeling.
No matter how powerful he is or how high his status is outside, on this occasion, he will only be a husband and a father.
This feeling of personally waiting for the continuation of one's own bloodline is indescribable.
The same was true for Lin Yuantian when Lin Junhao was born.
And Lin Yuanshan was equally nervous as Lin Mo.
At this time, Lin Yuanshan was squatting aside, holding a pipe and blowing out smoke rings, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Have you prepared cotton silk and licorice?" Ye Xiumo, Lin Yuantian's wife and Lin Mo's aunt, asked at the side.
Cotton silk is used to wrap newborns, while licorice is used to prevent the fetus from swallowing fetal poison.
"Everything is ready." Lin Mo replied.
This time he didn't look back, his eyes kept falling on the room.
Looking at the shadows on the window, he felt like there was a string in his heart that was stretched to death.
Not long after.
Suddenly, in his perception, two new childish breaths were added to the house.
The breath of life belonging to Lin Feier dropped a little, but it also stabilized.
Lin Mo understood something and felt relieved.
The next moment, two clear baby cries appeared one after another.
Soon, an excited maid came out to announce the good news.
"Congratulations to the young patriarch, there is a boy and a girl, there is a young master and a young lady, they are dragon and phoenix!!"
Lin Mo couldn't wait any longer. The figure originally standing in the yard disappeared instantly and went directly to the door.
Entering the room, there is a stable woman doing postpartum care.
Lin Feier's hair was all wet with sweat, her face was pale, but her expression was peaceful.
Wen Po on the side is wearing something similar to gloves and wrapping two small things in cotton.
"Thanks a lot."
Lin Mo glanced at the two babies, who were now like little monkeys, then walked slowly to the bed, touched Lin Feier's hand, and whispered.
His eyes were filled with distress.
Lin Feier didn't have the strength to speak at this time, so she just shook her head gently, and then her eyes fell on the baby in Po Wen's hands.
Lin Mo understood and stepped forward to take the baby.
The cotton fabric that had been beaten many times was very soft. The baby inside could not tell the difference between male and female at this time, but he could clearly feel the breath that belonged to him on both of them.
This is the connected bloodline and his continuation.
Lin Mo held the baby in his arms and squatted down so that Lin Feier could see it well.
He looked at Lin Fei'er, whose face was full of maternal glory, and then at the baby in the cotton cloth in his hand.
"The names are not in vain, one is called Lin Jue and the other is called Lin Min."
"From today onwards, I am a father!"
Lingtai Mountain, Golden Summit.
The vast sea of clouds below the cliff is churning endlessly, and the sun rises and falls in it.
Thousands of sunshine shined, coating the cloud waves and the palace with a golden glow.
Qi Sun was still wearing a tattered coat hanging on his body, and the open skirt exposed his strong muscles. Compared with before, there were a few more centipede-like scars on his chest.
He stood with his hands on his hips in front of the large square tripod in the center of the white marble square, looking at the sea of trees in the distance covered by clouds and mist.
The sun shines in front of the square tripod, and clouds of purple smoke slowly rise, making it shine like a god.
"You're back. How do you feel this time?"
Behind him, in the Main Hall, the tall Li Shenxiu walked out slowly.
His temperament is a little different, his eyes are still closed, but there is a red mark between his eyebrows.
One hand was raised in front of his chest, with a string of huge rosary beads wrapped around his wrist.
"Master." Qi Sun turned his head and saluted respectfully.
"That side is very strong. I have fought against the ancestors there and discussed Buddhism with their alchemists. No matter which side they are, they are very strong.
Of course, there are differences. Compared with ancestor cultivators, alchemists are more comprehensive in strength, have no shortcomings, and their methods are more cunning.
As for the ancestral cultivation, it is similar to our physical cultivation. However, before death, after becoming Taoist, although you will lose your mind, your strength will be greatly improved. If you are not careful, you can easily die together." He told his story softly.
experience.
During this year, he not only practiced at the border of Taihuai River, but also fought at Tianguan in Luojia Mountain. It can be said that he gained a deep understanding.
"Besides these, do you have any other experiences?" Li Shenxiu asked again.
"Other experiences..." Qi Sun was silent for a while, as if deep in thought.
But in the end he shook his head.
Li Shenxiu was not angry and said slowly: "Martial arts are not static. Some people often say that the present is not as good as the past, but this must be wrong. It is just the groan of those who are wrong.
A martial artist learns from the nature of heaven and earth, starting from the most basic animal-shaped boxing, but this is not the case, and the Thousand Feather World at this time, as a new thing, in other words, is actually a different kind of nature."
"Master, what do you mean, learn a new method?"
"No... it should be said to be an innovative method." Li Shenxiu shook his head.
"Don't go out during this period. I have something to talk to you about."
As he spoke, he looked somewhere in the sea of clouds.
Qi Sun was startled, but he immediately understood what he meant, bowed and bowed, and slowly stepped back.
On the golden dome of the spiritual platform and the white marble square, there is only one person left.
"Senior Tathagata from Chi County... It's really difficult to meet you once... This is my first time meeting you, Bai Heng."
Suddenly, a faint voice floated in Li Shenxiu's ears with the wind.
