The dim light filtered in from the windows, bringing with it the intricate patterns on the bed cabinets, tables and chairs, and the trees outside the house. There were also chirping birds, accompanied by sparse roars of beasts.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw were pink bed curtains and carved and painted gray upper beams.
The perfectly carved bead-holding dragon is covered with gold paint and extends to the outside. There are lotus patterns on the four corners.
The white luminous pearls inlaid on it, with the bright light outside, only a faint glow remains.
Lin Mo got out of bed gently, looked at Lin Feier who was still sleeping soundly beside him, folded the edges of the quilt and pressed it in place.
Then he opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
The sun shines warmly on my face.
He hadn't had such a relaxing sleep for a long time.
The moment he got up, he even thought that he was back in Ningyang City.
When you have to train hard day and night, the most comfortable way to rest is when you sleep.
At that time, although it was painful and tiring, it was the most peaceful.
"Yes, it's peace of mind..." Lin Mo sighed softly.
The mountains in the distance are rolling and rolling, surrounded by thick white mountain miasma. Only the continuous curves of the mountains can be seen under the faint golden sun.
The air is very fresh, and even the speed of accumulating red energy is a few points faster than in Wanyicheng, and can be compared to that in Wangu Forest.
Walking in the yard, doing simple punches and flexing his muscles, the movements were standard, but after three or four sets of the Monkey Boxing, he didn't break out at all.
However, I still habitually drew a bucket of water from the well, washed my face, and took a shower.
Under the refreshing and refreshing feeling, the whole person felt much more comfortable.
After the meeting at the Main Hall yesterday, Lin Mo went to find Monk Mu Xin privately and inquired in detail about the situation around the new temple and about the difficulties he was facing now.
In addition to animal disasters and resource shortages, there are also man-made disasters.
This Tai'a Mountain Range, among the hundreds of thousands of mountains, has always been inaccessible to people, but it is not uncommon for people like them to live here in seclusion.
Of course there aren't many, most of them are just some reclusive family clans and large settlements.
Overall, there are few sects and families and many settlements.
Most settlements are located in peripheral areas, and their locations are obvious, clear, and even not hidden at all.
The former is different. Most of them are located in dangerous and dense areas, are difficult to find, and are extremely powerful.
In fact, these settlements are mainly responsible for trading goods, and they are also inextricably related to the secluded families and sects in the mountains.
Some of them were even built by reclusive families themselves, with the purpose of building platform portals and converting resources.
Of course, behind the scenes, they have always been hiding it. External actions rely on supporting the speaker, which is similar to white gloves.
For now, the Xinsi side has not revealed its identity, and there has been no conflict in contact with those major settlements.
Therefore, Monk Mu Xin did not bring it up that day.
However, as the new temple becomes more and more complete, contact with each other is inevitable. The consequences of this, whether it is a blessing or a curse, are still unknown.
From Mu Xin's words, one can hear his worry about him.
However, Lin Mo didn't care, and even felt that the so-called beast trouble was even more difficult to deal with.
According to Mu Xin, those so-called reclusive sects all live in the middle zone, and the strongest one is only the Great True Monarch, not a great sage, and can be killed in a few strikes.
As for the settlement, it is simpler. It is just similar to the fruit and vegetable market in the previous life, and is managed uniformly by several leading forces forming a neighborhood committee.
All you need to do is kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and you'll be able to accomplish something.
But just when Lin Mo was about to take action, he changed his mind.
News came from Tunan that among the several major reclusive sect forces in this mountain range, there are actually some that are vaguely connected to the top major forces in Yizhou.
It was just placed as a tentacle in the Tai'a Mountains.
To touch them is to confront those major forces.
In today's world, it is not difficult, but it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble, and even the whole body will be affected by it, causing unpredictable consequences.
So Lin Mo thought about it and simply sent Tunan and others to build black-hand buildings in the largest settlements.
Get involved first and then talk about it.
In the next few days, he accepted several more disciples.
Of course, this is not a true discipleship, but just a few Buddhist meetings.
In terms of literary skills, Mu Xin and several eminent monks co-authored the article, and martial arts were convenient, so he explained them in person.
Since he has now completed the four kalpas of the True King and is at the level of the Great True King, he will naturally be in a high position and the Buddhist meeting will be carried out successfully.
There are even a few little guys in the Grandmaster realm who happen to be in harmony with each other and break through to become Grandmasters. It is also considered a happy event.
The so-called disciples were selected from among them and were regarded as registered disciples.
These people were all familiar to Lin Mo. They were Monk Qingkong, Monk Xiuyuan, and Monk Yuanxin.
The former was a good penman and very talented. From his pen, he wrote many stories for Lin Mo, such as Buddha's Head Cutting Flesh to Feed Butterflies, Buddha's Tears Restarting the Duer Pagoda, Buddha's Head Traveling East to Preach the Buddha, etc.
He has read most of them, likes the content very much, and thinks it is very capable, which is considered compensation.
As for the latter two, they are related households, and they are related to their younger brother Lin Shu and Monk Mu Xin respectively.
The two of them were equally talented, so they took advantage of the situation.
During this period, Lin Mo also hosted several weddings.
Originally they were still choosing a good time and festival, but when Lin Mo returned, they took advantage of the opportunity and held them together.
However, there is peace and tranquility in the mountains, but the situation outside the mountains is even more chaotic.
Among the three roads in Yizhou, Chongnan Road, there are several big cities where cannibal ghosts have spread. Once they are bitten by them, they will continue to bite others like a plague infection.
If it only involves ordinary people, that's it. It is said that warriors have also been tricked, and there are even masters among them.
However, this rumor was suppressed not long after it spread.
Those big cities were also sealed off by Zhou Shengjun, waiting for investigation and handling.
In addition, many strange things happened. For example, in Chongxi Road, in several big cities, every time at midnight, the people in the city would fall asleep collectively and wake up at the same time the next morning.
Only the Grand Master can be exempted, which is very strange.
There are many rumors like the above two, but the scope of spread is mostly limited to the county, because the entire Yizhou, and even Chi County, most of the attention is focused on the confrontation between the Buddha and the Dynasty in Lanke County, Chongxi Road.
And a few days later, Lin Mo took the lead and finally launched an investigation into the rumored demon tree on the other side of Longyun Mountain.
The main members of the operation are monk Mu Xin, Zhang He, Duan Tao and other true king masters, as well as some great masters and master disciples who came to see the world.
Longyun Mountain, the other side of the mountain.
On a cliff, Lin Momuxin and others looked far ahead.
There is a strange-looking pine tree in front, with a body like dragon scales and green leaves. It is somewhat like the famous welcoming pine tree in Huangshan in the previous life.
But what they were looking at was not this outstanding pine tree, but the huge thing behind it.
It was a truly towering tree, mostly attached to Longyun Mountain, as if it was growing against the mountain.
Lin Mo took a brief look at it and estimated that it was about four to five hundred meters thick. The tree body was as black as iron. The bark on it was chapped with simple cracks and the edges were raised. Like the welcoming pine in front, it resembled dragon scales.
It exudes an ancient, vast and majestic atmosphere.
The height is several thousand meters, even as high as the following hills. It is not an exaggeration to call it a tree mountain.
Ordinary people look up and see that it is like the legendary pillar of the sky, reaching directly between the clouds and connecting the sky and the earth.
And the tree is so big, its shadow is even more terrifying. It droops from top to bottom, like a huge umbrella canopy. The huge tree shadow falls for more than ten miles in radius.
It's like covering up the sky and blocking out the sun.
As for the tree roots Zhang He mentioned, Lin Mo also saw them.
Those tree roots are as thick and twisted as horny dragons, and most of their bodies are hidden in the ground. If you don't look carefully, you might even think they are covered with rocks.
This is not the first time Lin Mo has seen such giant tree species.
Back then, he also saw an equally majestic tree species at the Yueshan Grottoes in Huaizhou.
The reason why it is so huge is because of its flaws, but even so, it is not as shocking as the ancient tree in front of you.
"Moreover, it does give people a different feeling. It... he has life." Lin Mo stood in front and sighed softly.
In front of Wu Daotian's eyes, the complicated tree patterns on this ancient tree outline strange and regular patterns, exuding a wonderful aura.
Like a huge giant.
"You guys wait here." He tilted his head and said softly.
After saying this, he tapped his toes, disappeared on the spot, and walked towards the ancient tree.
As he got closer to the ancient tree, Lin Mo also discovered the huge branches hidden in the shade.
These equally thick branches also have fine tree whiskers.
There were countless shriveled animal carcasses tied to these tree beards.
There are giant human bears, colorful tigers and leopards, snakes and pythons, and birds with multiple wings on their backs.
Each of them looked frightened, and there were many traces left on their bodies. It could be seen that they were struggling desperately before they died.
As it got closer, the surroundings were suddenly filled with gray-white mist.
Similar to mountain miasma.
The smell was somewhat sweet, and Lin Mo could tell at a glance that it came from the tiny buds in the ancient leaves.
‘This aura...is this...a demon? A tree demon? No, why did it grow so huge?’ Suddenly, the ring on Lin Mo’s left ring finger glowed dimly.
Taoist Beiming's voice sounded in his ears.
‘Is it really a demon? What, this tree demon is very strange?’ Lin Mo communicated with him mentally.
On weekdays, he puts Taoist Beiming into a deep sleep, and only releases him on special occasions.
Now is of course a special occasion.
After all, Lin Mo was actually extremely interested in this big tree.
‘In the Qianyu Realm, all kinds of frosts compete for freedom, and everything can become a monster, and humans are no exception. In fact, the Taoist cultivators are also monsters to a certain extent, and are called human monsters.
However, among all things, the most difficult to become a monster are trees.
After all, although all kinds of frosts compete for freedom, the tree species that can become demons are all cherished and precious by their species.
This means that in the process of practice, in addition to suffering from heaven and earth disasters, there will also be human disasters, and man-made disasters are even more dangerous." Beiming Taoist said with emotion.
‘So this is indeed a good thing?’ Lin Mo suddenly became interested.
'Of course, according to my perception, the demon tree in front of me is probably at the level of Tongyou, and it has traveled a long distance within the territory of Tongyou.
You must know that there is no immortal Taoist ancestor here who teaches the Dharma. It is nurtured by heaven and earth and generated by itself." There is rarely a sense of surprise and emotion in Taoist Beiming's words.
'If he were in the Thousand Feathers Realm, he would probably be qualified to be taken over by the big sect as his own and declared to be the spiritual root of heaven and earth.'
‘So the spiritual roots of heaven and earth only lead to the Netherland…’ Lin Mo was speechless.
He remembers that the Beiming Taoist in him is at the Dongming level...
‘Hey, I know what you are thinking. When we cross the realm and arrive, we will be suppressed by our soul and body.’ Taoist Beiming’s tone, which had always been steady, suddenly became more anxious.
‘And this is the spiritual root that grows spontaneously in this land of yours. Although it is in the Netherland, it is not subject to any suppression.
To you, it is the same as the ordinary great saint-level existence in your mouth!" As he spoke, there was sullenness in his voice, as if he was dissatisfied and arrogant.
Lin Mo ignored it and was thoughtful instead.
‘Tree species and spiritual roots, according to you, Taoist friend, wouldn’t they be extremely suitable for refining magic weapons?’ His eyes lit up.
'This...this is indeed suitable...' Taoist Beiming was startled and paused, 'But if possible, it is best to keep this kind of heaven and earth spiritual root. After all, it can not only gather the vitality of heaven and earth, but also has many wonderful uses.
For example, you see guarding the cave and suppressing the mountain gate,
After all, the longevity of this kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth is far beyond what we can compare with.’
‘The creations of heaven and earth really have many wonderful uses.’ Lin Mo said with emotion.
Listening to Taoist Beiming say this, if he can really be subdued, it might be really good.
With the existence of this ancient tree, it is not a problem to at least protect this new temple located in the Tai'a Mountains.
After all, according to Zhang He and others' accounts, once the roots and branches of the three-color tree come out, it is almost unbeatable in a group battle.
Not to mention its effect of gathering vitality.
The existence of this thing is directly equivalent to the fact that Lingtai Sect is located in a natural home.
It is a true paradise!
'Be careful, he seems to have discovered you.' At this time, Taoist Beiming suddenly said.
As we continued to get closer, the thin mist became thicker and thicker without even realizing it, to the point where we could hardly see even our fingers.
"It seems so." Lin Mo looked around and took a deep breath.
The mouth and nose suddenly felt like a whirlpool, and the mist that filled the surroundings was instantly swept away in the turbulent airflow.
The originally hazy scene in front of my eyes suddenly became clear.
It tastes slightly sweet and has a muscle-relaxing effect.
Of course, if it is applied to ordinary warriors, it will directly cause dizziness and weakness.
If this mist can surround the new temple like a ring, it will definitely be more useful than the red snake reef tree or the trap artillery, and it also has its own shielding and hiding function.
Like the fog of war.
The more Lin Mo looked at it, the more he liked it.
'By the way, fellow Taoist, if I want to conquer it, what should I do?' He said, and couldn't help but look up and down at the huge creature in front of him.
Hululu!!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly started to move like an earth dragon turning over.
At the same time, countless tree beards with beast corpses hanging above their heads fell down and shrouded the end of the forest.
I originally wanted to double update, but the school had a power outage again today. Lying is like a puppy. People are really numb, brothers.
