The paths in the Lingtian Medicine Garden in the backyard are quiet and Zen-like, and the air is filled with the faint scent of refreshing medicine.
Above his head, a beam of orange sunlight fell, illuminating Lin Mo's face, dispelling some of his alienated air of not being close to strangers.
"Master, Master Lei Zhang from the Zhengyi lineage and Master Wenhui from the Cihang lineage came to see you three days ago to discuss important matters. They came again yesterday," Nie Yun said respectfully.
"Lei Zang, Wen Hui?" Lin Mo was a little surprised.
"Do you know what he wants from me?" he asked casually.
Lei Zhan, who belongs to the Zhengyi lineage, is Senior Brother Diemeng, and is now the Taoist disciple of the Zhengyi lineage. He is the only genius among the younger generation who has mastered the divine art of suppressing the meridians within the Zhengyi lineage [Five Thunder Zhenmiao Yiqi Sutra] to the level of the true king.
Once, at the fourth level of divine transformation, with the help of a five-thunder hand and a body of calming energy, he fought against a demon from the Thousand Feather Realm at the level of a true king in Mount Luojia and survived with hundreds of blows.
Taoist nun Wenhui, who is also gifted, practiced the Dao Sword of Compassion to Save Evil, the Forgetting the Heartless Sutra, and entered the realm of great achievements, but she was only in the third level of divine transformation, and her success in the selection of Taoists was still a blessing to Lin Mo.
He had been defeated by Bi Xuejun several times before the selection. After the latter's death, he was promoted to the top, which was considered a bargain.
Strictly speaking, he is considered a bastard among the five Taoist disciples of Lingtai Sect today.
But no matter what, as long as you bear the name of Daozi, it will definitely not be simple. Within their respective Dao lineage, their status is almost second only to those lineage masters.
But now, she came to see him for business and even visited him twice. It is conceivable that the matter must be quite big.
Thinking back to the previous hint that Monk Mu Xin had something to say...
Lin Mo couldn't help but feel solemn.
"Master, I don't know about this..." Nie Yun was a little embarrassed.
Although he is considered a young genius, and with Lin Mo's status, he is now somewhat famous in the Zhengzong, but after all, he is too young, and the other party obviously does not value him.
"It's okay, I'll go out later." Lin Mo didn't care.
Then he briefly inquired about the other party's current cultivation situation.
After learning that Nie Yun had broken through to Grandmaster not long ago, he couldn't help but nodded.
"You still need to pay attention to the sequelae of the fire poison in the Qilin Arm. As for you saying that you want to transplant the blood of another alien beast, it is not impossible, but you need to make a plan for me beforehand. By the way, you need to practice the Bingxin Jue to
Condensed ice into a mirror layer”
When Lin Mo learned that the other party wanted to continue practicing the Nine Transformations of True Spirit, he did not stop him, but just warned him.
After all, genius can always do what ordinary people cannot.
However, although swallowing the essence and blood of alien beasts is not as dangerous as swallowing the magic power of aliens from the Thousand Feather Realm, it is not easy after all, so it must be said.
"Yes. I respect your master's order." Nie Yun showed obvious gratitude on his face, and he saluted respectfully. After they walked out of the backyard together, they slowly stepped back.
Lin Mo didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Nowadays, ordinary strange beasts, like the Yueshan Fire Kirin last time, may seem scary to ordinary people, but in his eyes, they are just ordinary, easy to play with, and nothing. The only difficulty is to meet them.
After he finished reading, he recruited two disciples and went to Zhengyi Mountain and Cihang Mountain respectively to deliver the message and agree on a time. Then, he began to rest after a long period of cultivation.
Practicing martial arts is for the future, but if you don't cherish the beauty of the present, what's the use of a lonely future?
Lin Mo took advantage of this time to have a meal with his family, and then climbed Lingtai Mountain together.
Lingtai Mountain has beautiful scenery, and there are many places to visit, even if you move around. You can only wander around the mountainside for half a day.
As sunset approached, everyone returned, and among them, Lin Feier was the most reluctant to leave.
Lin Mo could feel his dependence and nostalgia. What he missed was the beautiful scenery and the time spent with him.
It's just that he was very sensible and didn't clarify everything to argue with him.
But precisely because of this, his mood became more complicated.
"Why are there killings and wars in this world? It would be great if everyone could live peacefully and peacefully together."
Lin Mo had dinner with his family and walked out of Qingliang Temple at the appointed time.
He turned around and looked at the three words "Qingliang Temple" on the plaque on the temple door, illuminated by the afterglow and entangled with light and shadow, and felt a little absent-minded for no reason.
No one likes to practice martial arts, and so does he.
If possible, he would rather travel with his wife Lin Fei'er, Lin's father and Lin's mother, his brother Lin Shu, his sister Lin Yun, and his friend Xu Chengyuan, etc., to see the magic of nature, visit the world together, and meet
The mortal world.
How nice it would be.
But in fact, under the looming crisis, even with his family members who get along day and night, he can only accompany him occasionally, and his friends have already moved away.
"The world is..." Lin Mo turned around, sighed deeply, and stepped forward with a complicated expression.
Half an hour later.
Sun viewing platform.
The Sun Viewing Platform is located on the mountainside of Lingtai Mountain. It has a wide view and the place is very beautiful. In the early morning, you can see the spectacular scene of the rising sun rising over the sea of clouds, hence its name.
This is the place agreed upon by Lin Mo and others.
When Lin Mo arrived, Lei Zang and Wen Hui were already waiting on the stage, and there was another person, none other than Taoist Sister Hui Ling whom they had met before.
He is also a Taoist, but his strength is a bit different compared to Wen Hui's. His strength is very weak.
The three levels of Grandmaster are not even the Great Grandmaster. In terms of realm, they are almost the same as Lin Mo.
Being able to judge Daozi depends entirely on strong talent.
He is only sixteen years old this year, and he has already reached the third level of the Grandmaster. He is not practicing the Forgetting the Heartless Sutra in Cihang Dao Canon, but practicing the whole Dao Canon.
The Forgetting the Chen Wuxin Sutra, the Bodhisattva Zen Compassion Sutra, and the Taiqing Cunxiang Guidance Sutra of the Eight Gods all work together to make progress together.
Just like another Jue'an, Taoist and Buddhist fellow practitioners.
According to records, he has defeated the two great masters of the Divine Transformation. He can be said to be a veritable genius.
As for the last Taoist of the Lingtai lineage, Qi Sun, he is no longer on the mountain and has gone to the front line.
"Brothers and sisters, I've been waiting for a long time."
Lin Mo looked at the people who had been waiting for a long time and politely greeted them with Buddhist salutes.
"I haven't arrived too early." The attitude of the three people was very friendly.
Even veteran Lei Zang and Wen Hui did not show any pretense, which made Lin Mo feel slightly relieved.
He immediately sat down and looked at the three of them: "I wonder why brothers and sisters are looking for me?"
"There is indeed something..." Taoist Lei Zhan spoke first.
He looked mature and steady, his hair was tied up in a bun, and his hands were wearing black gloves as thin as cicada wings. He quickly recounted what happened.
It turned out that it was the third branch of the sect, and many elders and masters had left the sect. The remaining senior officials decided to let Lin Mo and others take over for the time being to help deal with daily affairs. They had already known that, and now they came to communicate with Lin Mo, who had been practicing.
"At this special time, it is my duty to do this. If anything happens, just send someone to find me." Lin Mo said seriously after hearing this.
Enjoying so many benefits from the sect, it is natural and reasonable to devote some time at critical moments.
Moreover, now his Lin family is almost indistinguishable from the Lingtai Sect. Protecting the sect is equivalent to protecting the family, and he understands this truth.
When the three of them saw what he said, they felt relieved and smiled on their faces.
But Lei Zhan seemed to have thought of something again and couldn't help but open his mouth, but stopped talking.
The other two people saw this situation, and their smiles immediately faded.
"Brother Lei Zhan, why don't you speak up if you have something to say?" Lin Mo asked.
"I'm not dissatisfied with Junior Brother Qingliang, something is indeed wrong." Lei Zhan was a little helpless, "Some situations have occurred in Lingmiao City at the foot of the mountain recently. It is obviously not the beast tide period, but there have been several waves of beast tides in various places, and even attacked Lingmiao City several times.
It even includes mountains and forests that have never seen an animal tide before, such as Monkey Mountain and Camel Mountain..."
He paused as he spoke, glanced at Wen Hui and Hui Ling beside him, and finally looked at Lin Mo, "So we suspect that this beast wave is not an accident, but man-made! It's a conspiracy!"
"Huh?" Lin Mo looked solemn when he heard this, "Brother Lei Zhan can tell you what you need me to do now."
After he learned that the masters in the sect had left, he had an ominous premonition. What he didn't expect was that it actually came true!
"Currently, according to the investigation by the sect's intelligence personnel, there are two most suspicious places. One is the Monkey Mountain. Someone has seen an unknown aura wandering on the mountain. After being inspected by the sect's most precious sky telescope, it was found that most of the wild jujube forest in the mountain was destroyed.
There are many corpses of monkeys kneeling on the ground;
One is Luofengpo outside Lingmiao City, where many people have disappeared recently, all inexplicably!"
"The kneeling monkey corpse disappeared inexplicably..." Lin Mo frowned slightly, thinking about it, it was indeed very strange.
Lei Zang nodded, "Beast tides occur frequently. If not solved, the trade routes to and from Lingmiao City will be almost cut off, and even no cultivators dare to cultivate the Lingmiao fields outside the city. It won't matter in a short period of time, but it will definitely cause huge consequences in the long run."
Influence,
Besides...it is very likely that its target is not Lingmiao City, but...Lingtai Sect."
"Actually, this is also the reason why we didn't act rashly." Taoist Aunt Wenhui answered and sighed.
After all, those who can control the beast tide must be extraordinary, and those who dare to stroke the Lingtai Sect's tiger beard are even more so. Especially during this critical time.
"Senior brother and sister, do you want me to go and investigate in secret?" Lin Mo understood what the other party meant and asked.
"Indeed, what do you think, Junior Brother Qingliang?" Lei Zhan and others replied.
Lin Mo is incompetent.
Soon the group began to assign tasks.
The plan decided upon was for Lin Mo to investigate Houshan, while Wenhui and Huiling investigated Luofengpo, while Lei Zhan was stationed in Lingmiao City to provide support at any time.
In order to prevent the other party from diverting the tiger away from the mountain, the sect also needs to have arrangements.
The group of people studied it for nearly half an hour.
During the process, Lei Zang and Wen Hui mostly talked, while Lin Mo and Huiling listened.
After all, the two of them are older and more experienced. They have even held administrative positions in the sect for a long time and have rich experience.
Lin Mo and Taoist Sister Huiling are novices after all.
After the arrangements were made, they finally dispersed.
Return to Qingliang Temple.
Lin Mo simply explained the current situation to his family and disciples, including the sect's arrangements in the near future.
According to what Lei Zhang and Wen Hui said, the Lingtai Sect will soon be under full martial law and prohibit people from going up the mountain to worship the Buddha. The excuse is that the Buddha statue is under renovation.
During this period, there will also be full-time disciples patrolling and inspecting. There are more than ten routes arranged, and the Treasure Sky Mirror will be fully activated to prevent thieves from hiding their methods.
Among them, many disciples of the sect on the mountain have naturally implemented corresponding isolation, waiting for orders at their residences, and are ready to prepare.
"Xiao Mo...are we going to fight again?" After hearing this, Mother Lin couldn't help but asked worriedly.
When I was in Dayan Mountain before, there were occasional special evacuation drills due to wanted arrests. Although my life was stable, I was always on edge.
Now that I have come to Lingtai Sect as a son, I thought I would live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect that something like this happened again. It was just like Lin Yixiang a few years ago, before the Lin family uprising!
Not only her, but the rest of the family members were also worried, and they all looked at Lin Mo, waiting for his answer.
"No, they are probably some unworthy people who are just trying to make things up." Lin Mo's eyes were calm and he comforted softly.
"Of course, you still have to be vigilant. You will be in the temple during this period and nothing will happen to you."
Although at this time, he did not know where the other party was coming from, but no matter what, he could not panic. Of course, he did not panic too much.
After all, no matter how many conspiracies there are, whether they can be implemented or not depends on the strength of the people. This is why the biggest conspiracy in the world is conspiracy.
"If something happens, run away if you have to... Huh... No tasks or responsibilities are worth your life..."
Father Lin on the side was holding an empty pipe and said in a low voice. After taking a few puffs, he noticed something was wrong and put it down as if nothing had happened.
For the sake of his grandson's health, he has quit smoking for a long time and holds a cigarette to indulge his addiction.
"Don't worry, if nothing happens, fight if you can, and run if you can't. After all, it's not like Lin Yucheng didn't run away before." Lin Mo even made a joke, which made everyone laugh.
This smile actually dissipated a lot of worries in my heart.
Yes, Lin Mo has never let them down from the beginning to now.
After explaining what needed to be explained, Lin Mo went around the entire temple and poured a lot of poison, creating a poisonous ring.
Then without wasting any time, we set off directly down the mountain.
He did not follow the agreed time. In fact, everything should be done sooner rather than later. The faster the speed, the more unexpected arrangements can be disrupted.
Of course, this also has his own reasons.
He was very curious, curious about what kind of interesting person would be on this fishhook when the time came.
at this time.
Outside the Lingtai Mountains, there is a truly remote area.
It is neither a solitary peak nor a river valley, just a small slope.
There are no lush woods or precious herbs on it, only clumps of wildly growing shrubs.
On weekdays, not to mention people, even mountain animals are reluctant to come here.
And right now, in this place where no one is paying attention.
No one noticed that a piece of white mist spread out at some point.
There are silhouettes of people standing among them.
The leader was wearing a conjoined body of black armor, and he was holding a stone golden cicada in his hand.
"It seems that luring the snake out of the hole failed. Instead, it attracted the attention of the prey. It is really disappointing."
A faint sigh.
"But it doesn't matter. Death belongs to life, just like life. Moving is walking, just as landing is walking. It is a destined result, so..."
General Wang slightly held up the stone cicada in his hand and his voice became sad.
“What’s the point of resisting or not?”
The stone cicada in my hand began to make a buzzing sound, and its body was trembling.
In that unpleasant noise, a huge consciousness slowly awakened among the dead things.
