The forest here is lush, close to the coast, and the trees are a species called eucalyptus. When exposed to sunlight, they emit a strange fragrance, which makes people relaxed and happy.
Therefore, the forest area on the island was restricted to ordinary people and was set up as a summer vacation area exclusively for the powerful.
At this time, deep in the forest.
There is a relatively flat open space, and a white waterfall falls from the hillside, hitting the moss-covered bluestone below.
Finally, there were splashes of water and fell into a small lake.
The lake water is very clear and the bottom is entirely stone. Visible to the naked eye, there are fish and shrimps playing among the underwater pebbles.
The shore of the lake is covered with various vines and leaves.
In the open space, surrounded by bamboo trees, there was a small house built, surrounded by a fence, with smoke rising from the back of the house.
In the fields surrounded by fences, common vegetables, fruits, and some rare plants are grown.
At first glance, it looks like an excellent summer vacation house.
Next to the house, on a bluestone in the center of the small pool, there was a man of seventeen or eighteen years old sitting in it.
His black hair was tied up with a rubber band and hung down behind his body. His upper body was naked except for a white mandarin jacket.
There is a golden python as thick as a human thigh tied around his neck.
The python's body swayed and wrapped around his neck. The snake's head looked left and right, then docilely clung to the man's face.
The waterfall flew down from a high place and hit the man, splashing light mist.
Its body was shimmering with gray stone luster, which complemented the golden light on the golden python.
At first glance, it looked like he was practicing some kind of secret technique.
It's almost past the incense burning time.
A man walked out of the house, supported by a girl.
The girl is young and gentle, with long hair tied with a green belt.
The man's face was a little pale, his left hand was tied with a thick white bandage, and his steps were a little weak. He was obviously injured.
"Xiao Shu, is the martial arts class over?" the man said softly to the person in the small pool.
"Okay, now." Lin Shu opened his eyes and said quickly.
Soon, his hand gently patted the bluestone under him, and he let out a cry, flying to the shore like a bird.
With a strong will, the water mist on his body evaporated into gas, he changed into clean clothes and strode forward.
The golden python on his body also changed its wrapping position and was placed on his shoulders.
"Brother Yun, are you feeling better?"
he asked with concern on his face.
The man was wearing a plain monk's robe. He didn't look good, but his expression was calm.
"It's better. After recuperating in the sect for such a long time, the injury is almost healed." The man is naturally Lin Mo's eldest disciple, Nie Yun.
"The injury has basically improved. I heard from Brother Ma that my brother has thought of a way. We will wait here for a while and we will be able to cure your arm, Brother Yun." Lin Shu comforted softly.
Nie Yun was originally recuperating in the sect.
Not long ago, Ma Yuande brought a message from Lin Mo, saying that his injury could be cured, so he took him out and came to Zenan Island.
I was also very excited when I heard this information.
Because in his opinion, Nie Yun was so seriously injured entirely because of him.
His injuries were almost healed, so he volunteered to come with him.
The three of them went back to the house together.
Dishes have been placed on the mahogany Eight Immortals table at the back of the yard.
Three meat and two vegetables, four dishes and one soup, it is still very rich.
"I heard that my brother is going to give you a new arm, Brother Yun. I don't know what it will be like. It can't be any worse than the unicorn arm you have now, right?"
After sitting down, Lin Shu threw the snake and python he kept on the ground, picked up the chopsticks, and said while eating.
He said and looked at Nie Yun.
"This is entirely up to Master. I'm not in a hurry, but you are very concerned about it." Nie Yun said with a smile.
As for Lin Mo, they actually call each other in different ways. This is also convenient.
"Hey, why don't I care? You are my brother Yun!" Lin Shu picked up two pieces of fried pork and threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Besides, if my brother gives you a good arm, brother Yun, then you can
My strength has increased greatly. That's good. I'll change it another day.
Just think about it and it’s majestic!”
"Awesome?" Nie Yun looked puzzled.
"Yes, Brother Yun, because of your Qilin arms, you were nicknamed by the Jianghu people, Qilin that crosses the sea, how majestic it is."
Lin Shu thought, "If I had a dragon arm, do you think they would call me the Sea-shaking Crazy Dragon?"
"You were beaten up for raising snakes before, and now you have to change your arms..."
Nie Yun was stunned when he heard this and shook his head.
Lin Shu's talent is good. Although he is not as exaggerated and monstrous as his master Lin Mo, he is still above average.
It’s just that some people’s thoughts come up one after another.
"It's okay, it's just another beating. In order to become stronger, I can bear this little pain." Lin Shu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
He was really fed up with the feeling of being weak and powerless.
Really between life and death.
Others don't care how powerful the Lingtai Sect behind him is, nor how famous his brother is.
He will be killed if he deserves to be killed, and he will die if he deserves to be killed.
So what if his brother avenges him afterwards?
There is no resurrection after death.
Therefore, only your own strength is the most reliable!
"I don't know when my brother will come back." He sighed with emotion.
"Brother Ma has no one. He goes out every day and can't be found." It has been almost half a month since they came to Zenan Island.
Apart from people delivering supplies and passing intelligence messages every day, there are almost no external affairs.
"Master is still on his way to the west. He should come here after his trip to the west. I heard that this trip to the west has a very good effect and has a great impact. It may be delayed for a few days.
As for Brother Yuande, he is also very busy and rarely touches the ground on weekdays. It is not easy for him to come back to see us every few days."
Nie Yun said. Ma Yuande is now Lin Mo's other arm, in charge of intelligence and business. He is considered the core person.
He is also very knowledgeable and does not hesitate to be close and friendly with them.
"Okay, I have discovered that no matter what, Brother Yun, you can always find something to say. Then let me ask you, when will you and Sister Cai Die get married?" Lin Shu nodded helplessly, suddenly changed the subject, and looked at
The girl in green clothes who was silent all the time was picking up food with them from time to time.
The voice fell.
Both the woman and Nie Yun were stunned.
The former's pretty face was slightly red, with a hint of shyness on her cheeks.
Nie Yun's expression was dull.
"Eat your food. After eating, I will take a test to see how you are practicing the Stone Buddha Tathagata Sutra Sutra!"
"That's right, if you don't like to eat, Xiaoshu, I won't cook it for you next time." The woman also catered to her.
"Don't...Brother Yun, Sister Cai Die. Just pretend that I didn't say..." Lin Shu apologized quickly.
The three of them quickly changed the topic, either talking about some gossips in the sect or major events in the Seven Seas, and just started chatting.
But not long after, suddenly, two figures walked out of the forest in the distance.
One of them was an old man, about sixty years old, with white hair, and he glanced around.
The old man has a peaceful look, a head full of white hair, and dense wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are extremely bright. He is dressed in a green shirt, his back is straight, and he wears a turban made of purple gauze.
It's very bookish and doesn't make people feel offended.
The other person is a woman. She has almond-shaped eyes, white skin, and a pretty and lovely face. She is very beautiful.
Wearing a light blue pleated lotus skirt, she has a slim figure and excellent figure. She looks very pure and makes people feel close to her unconsciously.
But with her hair in a high bun, she was obviously married.
After the two saw the three people in the fence in front of them, they looked at each other with a touch of joy in their eyes.
Then they approached together.
"Are these little friends from the Lingtai Sect in Thuja Sea Area? If you guessed correctly, this should be Nie Yun, Nie Shaoxia, who is known as the Qilin that can cross the sea, right?"
The old man spoke calmly, with a clear accent and a deep voice. Although it was not loud, it made people listen attentively.
This is the aura cultivated by those who have been in high positions all year round.
"I am the one who is here, Lin Junmo, the head of Buddha on the spiritual platform of my master. I wonder who the old gentleman is and what is the purpose of coming here?" Nie Yun's face returned to his usual calmness, he stood up and answered, and asked.
As he spoke, the energy in his body was secretly flowing, ready to take action at any time.
Since ancient times, anyone who comes uninvited is regarded as an evil guest.
What's more, when they came here, their whereabouts could be said to be hidden, and few people knew about it.
The old man obviously noticed this scene, but he didn't care. He took a half step back and looked at the people in front of him with some admiration.
"In the next great Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Shutong from Yizhou, the person next to me was the scholar of Huang Ying from Yizhou.
Ying Qingya." He introduced slowly.
"I really came here to find some of you who have something to do."
Zhang Shutong breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long ago, something unexpected happened in Yizhou, and severe drought broke out in various places. After many researches, we finally found out that someone was using arithmetic to change the destiny of heaven and forged the fate of Taoism.
After the imperial court learned of the situation, they speculated that the person behind the scenes was behind the scenes and sent people to deal with it.
It's just that if you want to curb this 'natural disaster' or man-made disaster, you must find the node of destiny.
This matter fell upon the great scholar of the dynasty, Huang Longshi, and the new leader of the literary world, the great Confucian Ying Lunsu of Yizhou.
The former is a great disciple of Grand Master Zhou Pu, who has mastered the divine fortune-telling technique of the Emperor, and the dragon-vein divine fortune-telling technique; the latter's four-pillar fortune-telling technique is also one of the ancient divine fortune-telling techniques.
When the two of them work together, it's natural to have an exhaustive strategy.
It's just that the former has a large number of disciples and can fully cater to the burden, but the latter cannot.
As a newly promoted Confucian, although he has many disciples, there are very few who can use him.
At this time, due to an accident, he escaped to Qihai. The Kuangzhu scholar, who was known to have monopolized 30% of the literary talent in Yizhou, got a chance to atone for his sins.
South Island.
Teams of construction workers are also repairing houses in the county town.
Lin Mo walked down the high platform and entered a special resting courtyard with the support of his disciples.
Along the way, the number of disciples behind him became fewer and fewer, and they scattered around to serve as warnings and eyes.
In the end, only Qing Jue was left.
"How are you feeling?" Lin Mo said softly.
Qing Jue behind him was not wearing a cassock at this time, but was wearing a large black cloak.
Hearing the voice, he raised his head and saluted respectfully: "Buddha head, I... feel a steady stream of power coming from deep within my body, as if my strength is improving all the time."
He said, stretching out his hand and looking at his arm.
He originally practiced the body training and horizontal training techniques, but only as a minor.
In fact, after being a Grandmaster, most martial artists will be exposed to horizontal training.
Because only a strong body can support the interaction between heaven and man, complete the divine transformation, and finally condense the Dharma body.
Qing Jue's talent is not bad, and although his horizontal training is not as good as that of the same level of physical training, he is still above average among ordinary martial artists.
And now... his arms are thicker than before, and the exaggerated muscles are even more tangled. With a little force, they become like tree roots.
This sense of power, he felt, was not even worse than that of some physical practitioners!
"The only difference is that...sometimes there is a feeling of...irritability in my heart, an urge to destroy everything."
While he was happy, he looked at Lin Mo with a hint of worry in his eyes.
At this time, you can see a large, strange and complicated black curse mark on its stretched neck.
"This is normal." Lin Mo's eyes fell on the other person, who had a slightly different mark from the second stage curse seal, and said softly.
In the field of vision of the martial arts eye.
The latter's body already has dense black patterns on its muscles, bones, and tendons.
However, there are not many in number and are somewhat sparse.
If you don't pay attention, you won't even see the lotus shape.
This is the reason why his time to observe the secrets inside Li Ang's body was too short.
If the time is longer and the latter cooperates with him to do some related experiments, it will naturally be further improved.
In fact, if Lin Mo guessed correctly, he should know what the strange fruit he took when he was young was.
Ranked thirty-second in the Tiancai Scroll, Yundi Lotus.
It is a natural wonder. Taking it can solidify the body, cleanse the menstruation and cut the marrow, and turn it into a lotus body without leakage.
Rumor has it that it is also related to the lotus root, which is ranked ninth in the Tiancai Scroll and is used to purify the soul and wash the body. In ancient times, a master died and happened to have this rare treasure. He used the lotus root to purify the soul and wash the body.
Not only did he live a new life, but he also became more talented and became a martial arts hero in the world.
Let’s not mention the latter for now. If we can really explore and study the complete secret of the lotus’ leak-free body from it, that would be really good.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo suddenly had several experimental plans in his mind.
He reached out his hand and gently touched Qing Jue's shoulder.
'Unconsciously, I became the same person as Ixuna-sensei.'
He finally understood that what he hated back then was not Yixuna's disrespectful experimental behavior, but himself who had to be the experimenter.
Martial arts requires truth-seeking and innovation. If you don't explore, you will fall behind...or even be forced to open your business and be used as an experimental product.
This is why even when he reaches this level, he still spends a lot of time and concentrates on practicing without slacking off.
"Buddha's head, is this the Buddha's birthmark you carved? I think the effect is great, but I feel that I can't implement it arbitrarily, for fear that some people will not be able to control the evil thoughts in their hearts."
Qing Jue, who was beside him, felt the warmth coming from his back. He was so excited that he almost started using his exercises to straighten his back, and whispered in a low voice.
He couldn't help but start thinking about Lin Mo.
"It is not easy to carve the Buddha's womb seal. Whether it is now or in the future, it will only be passed on to those who truly have Buddha nature." Lin Mo nodded and replied.
This side effect is actually a defect caused by the incomplete lotus imprinting.
"But don't worry. If you want to become a Buddha, you have to conquer demons. But what you really have to conquer is the demons in your heart. This is also a kind of experience."
"Thank you Buddha for your guidance!" Qing Jue said in a deep voice immediately.
"By the way, Buddha's Head, the message from Zenan Island is ready." He continued.
"Are you ready?" Lin Mo nodded lightly when he heard the words.
