"The willows hang on the western mountains and the autumn water is miserable. I want to kiss but then stop. The dream evokes feelings as if they were separated from each other. When will we meet again in our youth?"
Behind him, the actor is singing to the climax, his voice is getting higher and higher, and thin shisha smoke is rising from the hot tea on the table, and the faint fragrance of tea is lingering.
Lin Mo smiled when he heard the sound, took out a tea set from the table, stretched out his hand and poured a cup.
He already knew who it was.
Sure enough, in the sound of Dengden's footsteps, a bald man wearing a white fur jacket and a headband sat across from him.
It's ordinary.
Lin Mo's smile became more sincere.
It's not a disguise this time.
In these days, his relationship with Pufan had improved by leaps and bounds, almost to the point of falling asleep.
The two occasionally talked about Buddhism and Dharma, and occasionally exchanged martial arts. The more they talked, the more they became more and more congenial.
During some communication, he also learned a lot of secrets about Lanke Temple from his mouth.
And like a few days ago, when the Black Buddhists besieged the city, he also contributed to help them overcome the situation.
From Lin Mo's point of view, Pufan was a very upright person, but his eyes were not filled with dust. He was usually more rational than emotional, but when he really made friends with him, he regarded his friends as the most important thing.
In other words, my mind is simple and I am very grateful.
He likes to make friends with this kind of people the most.
"Senior Brother Pufan, shouldn't you be accompanying the special envoy sent by the imperial court today? Why are you here free?" Lin Mo said with a smile.
Pick up the tea and sip it lightly.
The relationship between the two can now make some jokes like this.
"Haha, after everything is done, I naturally have some free time here." Pufan's face looked a little more tired than before, and he smiled helplessly. He also picked up the teacup and drank it all.
I don't care if the tea drips down my clothes.
"What's wrong? Could it be that he is being held accountable?" Lin Mo thought for a moment and his voice became softer.
"To be precise, I was transferred." Pufan said with a smile, "The fire in Beicheng District, coupled with the New Year's Day order to close the city, caused several riots in the city, any of which is a felony. If Sitong City was not really saved, what would have happened in the past few days
I’ll also leave the monk I met in secret, because I’m afraid he’ll have to go to the White Tiger Hall in the state capital.”
"Where did you mix it?" Lin Mo put down the tea cup.
"Transferred to the Huaiping side. As was said at the time, the situation on the Taihuai River side is not optimistic. Dahuai has heavy troops in front, and Yuzhou has definitely fallen. This means that Hanzhou and Shuzhou are directly exposed to the front. Over there
There is a huge shortage of people." Pu Fan shook his head and twirled his rosary beads in his hand.
"Of course, I probably won't go there. After so many years here, the world has become chaotic, so it's time to go back to the temple."
As he spoke, there was a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Senior brother, do you mean to go back to Yizhou?" Lin Mo looked startled.
Lanke Temple is one of the three major Buddhist schools in Chi County. It is very powerful and has many masters in its sect. It is even more powerful than Lingtai Sect and Baima Chanyuan, which are both among the three major Buddhist ancestral temples.
It is located in Yizhou, which is directly the leader of Yizhou. The entire state emphasizes Buddhism and Taoism. Even the founder of Xiaowanfo Temple, the second largest temple in the state, is said to have come from Lanke Temple.
The inheritance is said to date back to the Middle Ages.
It is not comparable to the Lingtai Sect, a sect that inherited the inheritance of Lingtai Temple and subsequently suffered a great disaster.
"Yes, it just so happens that after these years of traveling, my mental strength and physical strength have almost reached the limit. I returned to the sect and took advantage of the situation to survive the twenty-nine heavenly tribulations and temper the Dharma body." Pufan said with a smile.
"Twenty-nine heavenly tribulations... this is indeed excellent. Here, Lin Mo would like to congratulate senior brother for successfully overcoming the tribulation." Lin Mo said with a solemn face.
He has already known the path after becoming the true king.
After the great master, heaven and man interacted with each other, the mental energy was solidified, and the divine will came out of the body. After the true king, the two condensed into the Dharma body, realizing the first fusion of the mental energy and the divine will.
This stage is actually similar to Qianyu Realm Mana.
The Dharmakaya that was then condensed was still immature at first, and then went through four kalpas. Each kalpa was condensed and carved with nine tribulation patterns, so that the Dharmakaya could be newly formed.
It is said that every calamity brings great terror, but after the calamity patterns are formed, there are also great opportunities.
When the forty-nine heavenly tribulations are over, the dharma body will have incredible power, and eventually it will even be enough to lift the destiny star. That is another realm.
After his calculation, if Pufan could condense and perfect the nine tribulation patterns and survive the twenty-nine tribulations, his strength would at least increase by several percent.
This amplitude can be said to be extremely impressive.
"I hope I can get what I want. After all, the world may become more and more difficult to survive in the future." Pu Fan nodded and sighed softly.
As a disciple of Lanke Temple and a high-level official in the county, his information can be said to be extremely well-informed.
Lin Mo was not polite and asked directly the reason.
Pufan was about to leave Huaizhou, and at the same time he really felt that Lin Mo was someone he could befriend, and he did not hide it.
"I heard, I just heard that during this period of war, all the states suffered heavy losses. In addition, the situation in Yuzhou went from bad to worse. There were anti-war factions in the imperial court who were pursuing the idea of appeasement and advocating peace talks with Qianyujie. They were called the Daoxing Party,
The leader of the party is Huang Ming, a current bachelor of the Cabinet Office, known as Huang Longshi.
Half a month ago, I listed the benefits of peace talks with Qian Yujie in the table "Ten Strategies for Determining the Country". With the blueprint and my own prestige, I have more and more fans recently, haha." At the end of his sentence, he even laughed. .
"Daoxing Party? Peace talks?" Lin Mo frowned slightly, appeasement was not a good word. "If we really want peace talks, why are we fighting for life and death here?"
"Peace talks are peace talks, but for real talks, you have to fight with a real sword at least once before you are qualified to talk, and it is not that there are people in the DPRK and China who can compete with Huang Longshi, so whether to talk about it and how to talk about it should not be It’s up to me to wait until I can figure out how to get it at this level.”
Pufan shook his head, clasped his hands together, and performed a Buddhist salute, feeling a little emotional.
"This... is true..." Lin Mo was silent for a while and spoke slowly.
His face was calm, but deep down he was worried for some reason.
He actually knows a lot about peace talks and peace talks.
For example, there are many cases in the history books of past lives.
It would be fine if the two sides are similar in strength, but once there is a huge disparity in strength, the weaker side will inevitably have to pay a large price.
In Lin Mo's view, among other things, land cutting is the first priority.
And ceding land...
He thought about it, the main forces in Qianyu Realm are in Taizhou, Yuzhou, and... Huaizhou...
At this time, as the master of the Qingliang Temple of the Lingtai Sect and the new generation twin star of the Lingtai Sect, he could be said to be the local leader in the Huaizhou area, but he suddenly had an unpleasant thought in his mind.
He looked at Pu Fan, who was drinking tea and watching music by himself, and was a little unsure of the other person's intention in raising the topic.
but no matter……
We must improve our strength as soon as possible!
Even, no matter how high the price is to pay!
Lin Mo thought of the situation a few days ago when the Black Buddhism closed down the city, and the scene was like that, and he secretly made up his mind.
A few days later.
After the official transfer order, Pufan resigned as military commander of Sitong County, and the new military commander was named Tuoba Xin.
The other party has a resolute and resolute character. It is said that he was born in the Zhou Sheng Jin Army, at the level of a true king, and his skills are astonishing. As soon as he came, he removed many people from power, installed them as his close followers, and then killed a group of wealthy grain merchants, and completely controlled the grain and grass.
Then he began to practice military formations diligently. At first glance, he seemed to be a practical master.
And all this has nothing to do with Lin Mo.
After sending Pu Fan away, he directly took the elites of the Qinglong Society back to the stronghold mountain fortress built in the Taihuai Mountains for repairs.
After everything was arranged properly, it turned into a killing machine and started a killing spree in the mountains, killing the mountain beast king.
Nowadays, the talent beads are in the unlimited supply of elemental stones, and the accumulation of red energy can be said to be steadily increasing. However, the accumulation speed of the talent beads in the fifth stage is already based on years, so even if you are impatient, there is nothing you can do.
Therefore, at this time, the only thing that can quickly increase the combat power is to condense the dead devil's heart, break through the three master levels, and even refine the divine orifice to interact with heaven and man.
Although ordinary great masters may be as weak as minions in Lin Mo's eyes at this time, this level is one of the most critical steps in Chixian martial arts. It is related to the first fusion of mind energy and divine will, so it is of no small importance to the improvement of martial arts.
In the forty-ninth year of Qi Guang's reign in the Great Zhou Dynasty, March 26, Guyu fell.
Outside Sitong City, there is Luoya Ridge.
In the past, there were few people in the lonely mountains.
But at this time, look down from the sky.
There were Buddhist men in black attire, and some other people who were dressed differently from Chixian, slowly appearing from the side of the mountain.
On the other side is the imperial court of Sitong County.
This also belongs to the coalition, with the imperial court Zhou Shengjun as the main body, surrounded by sects and family elites.
At this juncture, this combination is more inevitable than accidental.
If you stand on one side at the critical moment of life or death, unless you leave, you will inevitably choose one side to join.
This is the truth from ancient times.
Just like the beasts in the mountains fighting for the final beast king, the other challengers must fall to the ground.
Lin Mo got the news early today, changed his clothes, hid in the mountains, and watched the two parties confronting each other at the foot of the mountain.
Black Buddhism attacked the mind a few days ago, and now it is time to attack the city.
And the imperial court seems to have already made preparations.
Experts are constantly coming to help.
For example, there was a person with purple hair and red eyes. Even he couldn't see through it.
Some people also came to the mountain to invite him, but he refused with excuses.
Because of the Lingtai Sect's skin, the actual losses were not much.
After all, there are many members of the Lingtai Sect in this coalition.
Since the other party was not angry, he did not dare to act rashly.
To some extent, this is also the general trend.
But Lin Mo refused openly and returned secretly. The reason was naturally not pure, it was just to condense the dead demon's heart.
Mountain beasts have plenty of blood, but compared to warriors, they are still far behind.
Normally, he wouldn't be able to just catch someone and kill him, but on this battlefield, he didn't need to have any scruples.
kill!
kill!
Soon, the two groups of people at the foot of the mountain began to confront each other like a tidal wave.
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the strength of his mind penetrated the sky.
Blood flowed across the earth, even turning it red. The pungent smell of blood spread in the wind, and the air changed its smell.
Lin Mo's figure disappeared on the mountain.
Appeared on the edge of the battlefield in an instant.
At this moment, he was wearing Zhou Shengjun's clothes, with a hooked nose, triangular eyes, and sunken cheeks. At first glance, he looked like a ruthless man.
"Kill! For Da Zhou! For Chi County!"
Lin Mo shouted loudly and loudly, like a passionate person, which attracted the attention of many people even on the battlefield.
Of course, this also quickly attracted a few black Buddhist followers.
This is the reason why the first rafters will die first.
These black Buddhists could see that their martial arts skills were not very strong, and each of their moves were full of loopholes, but they were extremely powerful, and many of them did not look like human beings.
At the same level, under normal circumstances, a Chixian warrior would be able to defeat him.
It's just different on the battlefield.
From an outsider's perspective.
Lin Mo was dumbfounded and punched the black Buddhist who rushed towards him with a machete.
Bang!
His strength was indeed considerable. He had a horse's head on his head and his muscles were an ugly waxy yellow color. The moment the machete collided with his fist, the blade of the knife deflected in one direction, and then his fist hit him with unabated force.
on his head.
The huge horse-faced head immediately shattered like a big watermelon.
But before anyone could marvel, they saw several more Black Buddhists swarming up and forcing them towards the Black Buddhism side.
Trapped in siege.
Wonder turns to regret.
Lin Mo, who was forced into the Black Buddhism side, could only feel that there were low murmurs in his ears, which had the effect of confusing people's minds. He was surrounded by red-eyed Black Buddhism believers, and there were also many alienated Qianyu Realm demons.
.
But in this situation, the excitement on his face disappeared and his expression became dull.
puff!
He stretched out his hand slightly, grasped the beating heart in his body, and then crushed it directly.
Countless tiny bits of blood were quickly absorbed like being poured into a sponge.
This feeling...
As if being hit by a heavy object, Lin Mo flew backwards towards more people.
While flying upside down, the black hair kept falling...
Strands of black hair turned into tiny black snakes when they hit the ground, swimming in the blood on the ground, swallowing up the seriously injured and weak people from time to time...
Lin Mo was being kicked around like a ball in the crowd.
However, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and there was even a lot of black aura lingering around him.
"This feels...so right..."
Said in a soft whisper.
The hoarse voice had a hint of intoxication, like an old drunkard tasting a treasured wine.
That's right, to him, the blood and life all over the place are wine.
Every time a person is absorbed, the dead demon's heart becomes more condensed, the Tathagata's demonic strength becomes more tyrannical, and the body becomes stronger.
Even the Nine Transformations of True Spirit are gradually accumulating progress.
The feeling of acquiring wisps of blood essence made even Lin Mo feel indescribably comfortable.
Compared to accumulating step by step, this speed is much faster.
To him... this is heaven.
He seemed to understand why there were so many heretical and evil people throughout the ages.
The speed of this level of improvement and the pleasure of rapidly becoming stronger are something that ordinary people simply cannot refuse.
'Of course, I am not falling into the devil's path. After all, I am killing a group of poor people who made mistakes in practicing the new method and are suffering every day and night.'
Lin Mo was swimming among the crowd like a fish.
His mind was not lost in his strength.
After all, in his opinion, a group of people who have gone on the wrong path provide him with nourishment, get relief from them, and even watch him grow into a stronger state.
It is also a sacrifice worthy of awe.
Of course, the noise cannot be too loud.
Lin Mo has a clear understanding of himself. He is powerful now, but in relative terms. For example, among the two parties fighting now, there are several people who even he cannot see through.
All in all, you still need to be patient.
Therefore, among the fighting crowds, blood was splashing everywhere and murderous sounds were roaring.
There are also black snakes snaking on the ground.
