Movie: Start with a Gastly Lair
Chapter 1: Extraordinary Master
The last years of the Qing Dynasty were a dark and turbulent era. The warlords were like a group of hungry beasts, fighting brutally for power and wealth.
Innocent people became victims of this war. They lived in dire straits and suffered unbearable pain.
Looking back to the end of the Qing Dynasty, this once glorious empire was now terminally ill. The fate of the country was like a huge ship that had lost its direction, rapidly sliding towards the abyss of destruction.
The Qing government’s corruption and cowardice had completely deprived it of its ability to rule. Faced with internal peasant uprisings and external invasions by foreign powers, it could only stand idly by and watch its vast territory gradually fall.
The domestic situation was in a mess, social order had collapsed, morality had fallen, and people seemed to be a lone boat in a storm, in danger of being swallowed up at any moment.
In this chaos, warlords from all over the country emerged one after another. Relying on the military forces and resources at their disposal, they quickly established their own territories and formed a situation of independent rule.
These warlords are ambitious and only care about profit. They are willing to launch bloody wars to expand their sphere of influence.
The war was raging, the smoke filled the air, cities were reduced to ruins, villages became desolate, countless families were torn apart, loved ones were separated, and life and death were uncertain.
The bandits took advantage of the situation, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. They were like a plague of locusts, leaving a mess wherever they went. The people’s hard-earned property was looted, and their lives were seriously threatened.
In such a chaotic world, the people lived in uncertainty, suffering from hunger, cold and fear every day, not knowing whether they would be alive to see the sun rise tomorrow.
Some people were forced to leave their homes and wander around; some people rose up in resistance, but often they were just like an egg against a rock and ended up with a tragic end.
However, even in such a desperate situation, people still have a desire for peace and tranquility in their hearts, and look forward to one day being able to escape from the haze of suffering.
For those people at the bottom of society, the hardship of life is like an endless night, with no light at all. They are like tiny ants, facing the oppression and exploitation of the powerful, they have no power to resist.
The entire Kyushu continent was shrouded in haze, and the light that symbolized hope seemed to be obscured by an invisible hand. The flame of hope gradually weakened in the wind and rain and was almost extinguished.
However, whenever there is troubled times, there will always be evil spirits causing trouble.
“Hahaha!! Grab them all! Take all those women and the gold, silver and treasures back to the village!”
“Hahaha!! Brothers, charge!!”
“Horse thieves!! The horse thieves are coming! Everyone, run!”
“Wow! Mommy! I want mommy!!”
In Guangdong Province, there was a small village that was originally peaceful and tranquil. On an ordinary night, a shout and scream was like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting through the tranquility of the night.
The thatched houses were now engulfed in flames. The flames shot up into the sky, making the entire village look like purgatory.
In the village, a group of horse thieves pounced on their prey like vicious wolves. Their faces were ferocious and their eyes flashed with greed and ferocity, just like a group of hungry beasts seeing their prey.
They violently robbed the common people of their property, and dragged women like hungry tigers pouncing on sheep. The men fell one after another under the cold knives of the bandits, and bright red blood flowed out like a trickle, slowly covering the ground.
The old people huddled in a corner and cried in fear, their cries full of helplessness and despair; the women screamed in despair, their voices full of fear and sorrow; the children were trembling with fear, and huddled together like frightened little quails.
Under a collapsed thatched hut, a boy about ten years old, dressed in tattered clothes, was lying motionless.
“Hoohoohoo!!”
At this moment, a strange aura, like a quietly blooming flower, slowly emanated from the young man’s body.
In a flash, the terrifying black fog rushed in from all directions like a surging tide. Soon, the black fog was like a huge black curtain, tightly wrapping the entire village.
This sudden change made the bandits who were burning, killing and looting startled and confused.
The horses seemed to sense the approaching danger and began to become restless. Their hooves kept kicking the ground, and the “clack clack” sound was particularly abrupt in the silence, as if a ferocious beast was about to appear.
“Brother! Something is not right! Should we retreat first?” a horse thief said in panic.
Listening to his men’s words, the bandit leader reined in his restless horse and looked around vigilantly at the darkness. He felt that in the dark corners, there seemed to be pairs of hidden eyes, silently watching everything that happened here.
In an instant, an eerie wind whistled past, and the flames flickered as if frightened. It seemed as if something was moving secretly in the darkness.
Seeing this, the leader of the horse thieves’ heart suddenly rose to his throat. Although he was a horse thief who killed people and robbed goods, he had also heard of evil things like ghosts and monsters.
He was just about to give the order to retreat, but the next moment, under the horrified gaze of the horse thieves, a terrifying blood-red eye slowly emerged in the darkness, like a ball of evil fire burning in the depths of the darkness.
“Hehehehe!!!”
Along with this sinister voice, one after another…
Under the cover of darkness, a terrifying black fog permeated the air, like a motionless black ghost.
Then, the surrounding black fog surged up like raging waves, and there was not a trace of light in the entire village, as if this piece of land had been abandoned by the entire world and fell into an endless abyss of darkness.
“Ah! What is this? Help!”
“No! Don’t kill me! I won’t dare to do it again!”
“Hehehehe!”
In the darkness, the bandits seemed to have seen something extremely horrifying, and let out a series of miserable screams, interspersed with the sounds of breaking bones and occasional eerie sneers.
The haze of despair and fear shrouded the entire village, and those once cruel and violent guys now became lambs to be slaughtered.
“…”
“call!”
At the same time, black mist surged towards a young man like a tide. The young man was originally thin and scarred, but at this moment, he was undergoing a drastic change.
His thin body quickly became plump, and his hair, which was originally like dead grass, quickly turned purple-black, flashing purple light from time to time.
After a while, the boy had changed a lot. If he was just a beggar before, now he looked like a rich kid.
There is also a purple spot between his eyebrows, which makes the boy look more evil and charming.
When all the screams in the black fog stopped, the originally calm black fog began to surge wildly, as if countless horrible things broke out of the black fog.
Boom!
However, the black fog seemed to have been hit by an external force and instantly dissipated magnificently, just like a strange and grand black lotus suddenly blooming.
The surging black fog was like a sudden explosion of energy. Its momentum was as powerful as an overwhelming tidal wave, unstoppable.
The violent black fog swept in, and wherever it passed, the entire sky was shaken and buzzing, as if it was enduring the roar and rage from endless darkness.
“Swoosh!!” At the same time, an object like a purple meteor broke through the black fog and flew away into the distance.
When the purple-black meteor left, the black fog in the village seemed to have lost its backbone and quickly dissipated and disappeared into the darkness.
This black fog can be said to come and go quickly.
At the same time, a Taoist priest in a yellow robe quickly shuttled through the woods and soon arrived at the village that had just been burned, killed and looted by horse thieves.
This was a middle-aged Taoist priest. His eyebrows seemed to be connected together. When the middle-aged Taoist priest stepped into the village, his eyes were full of anger.
The village was littered with corpses.
“Damn it!! We’re late!” said the middle-aged Taoist priest gritting his teeth.
“Is it Ajiu?” At this moment, an old voice reached the ears of the middle-aged Taoist priest, which made the middle-aged Taoist priest happy, and he quickly ran towards the place where the voice came from.
When he came to a relatively intact wooden house, he saw a group of old, weak and sick people hiding inside. When some of them saw the Taoist priest, surprise appeared in their eyes.
He hurried out of the wooden house, and the middle-aged Taoist priest also hurried to greet him, saying with some shame: “Village chief, I’m sorry, I’m late.”
“Ajiu, this is not your fault. This is the disaster that happened to my Linjia Village.” The village chief shook his head and spoke.
Lin Jiu looked at the old village chief who seemed like he would collapse at any time, his face full of shame. He knew that the village chief said this just to stop him from feeling guilty.
After all, some things are destined.
“By the way, village chief, why are those horse thieves all dead?” At this time, Lin Jiu thought of those horse thieves who looked like mummies, and asked in confusion.
It’s not that he didn’t want those horse thieves to die, but their deaths were too strange.
When the old village chief heard this, he became a little excited and quickly pulled Lin Jiu aside. After he was a little further away from the villagers, the old village chief said excitedly: “Ah Jiu, our Lin family is going to dig it up, our Lin family is going to dig it up.”
Thinking of what he had just seen, the old village chief grabbed Lin Jiu’s hand and unconsciously exerted more force.
“Village chief? You?” Lin Jiu was a little confused when he saw this. He didn’t know what happened to the old village chief.
“Ajiu!! Master!! Our Lin family has a Master!!”
When the old village chief said this, his eyes widened, and there was disbelief in his eyes!

“Village Chief, are you sure? You are not dazzled!”
Although Lin Jiu was also very excited, he still opened his mouth again to confirm.
It’s not that he doubted the old village chief, but the matter of the Master is no joke. Ever since Yaoqing took over Kyushu, there have been awakened Masters, but those who have awakened are only beast-like Masters.
Moreover, they were just some ordinary beasts and had no extraordinary powers at all.
However, it is still possible to enhance physical fitness, for example, by awakening an eagle-type beast, one can gain stronger eyesight and so on.
The masters who did not have extraordinary powers were just minions before Yao Qing took over Jiuzhou.
But perhaps, it is true that when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king.
Ever since Yao Qing took control of Jiuzhou, there are not many extraordinary masters left. Only some of the high-ranking sects still retain them. For example, their Maoshan Sect retains extraordinary masters, and the soldiers they command are all Taoist soldiers, or even higher-level ones.
There are some more secretive things that he doesn’t know.
However, becoming a master is not the only way to embark on the path of transcendence. Ever since various mysterious nests have emerged on the land of Kyushu.
After generations of unremitting exploration and research, various schools of thought have made some achievements. They have successfully cultivated a variety of extraordinary powers by utilizing and studying the weapons bestowed by the master.
Among them, the “Qi” comprehended by Taoists is unique. This magical energy originates from the natural world. Through specific mental methods and exercises, a powerful Qi flow can be condensed in the human body, thus performing earth-shaking magical skills such as calling the wind and rain, moving mountains and filling the sea, etc.
The Buddhists have realized the unfathomable power of “Buddha power”. Those who practice Buddhism, with compassion in mind, can stimulate the Buddha power hidden deep within themselves through firm inner beliefs and persistent meditation practice.
This Buddha power can not only purify the mind and resist evil spirits, but also show the miracle of Buddha’s light shining everywhere and saving people from suffering.
As for demons, they have innate “demon powers”, which they either acquire from blood inheritance or awaken on their own after experiencing hardships in the mountains and wilderness.
Demonic power manifests itself in various forms. Some monsters are good at changing their shapes and hiding their tracks; others can control the elements and release powerful attacks.
In addition, there are many other sects and families that have also developed their own unique supernatural powers, such as the Mohist mechanical arts, the military tactics and battle formations, the medical arts of rejuvenation, and so on.
These different types of supernatural powers are intertwined and influence each other, together forming a colorful and extraordinary world full of infinite possibilities.
However, relying on this kind of power, one can never surpass the master, but this also makes ordinary people rush to get it, after all, no matter what? These are extraordinary powers.
And it was because of Lin Jiu’s joining Mao Shang that he obtained a Taoist general, which allowed him to become a transcendent and cultivate Qi.
The Linjia Village is his clan. If someone becomes the master, then their Lin family will also rise. Although he does not care about some false reputation, he will be happy for the clan members if they can live a better life.
“Ajiu, I’m not seeing things. You didn’t see it. There was no light in the whole world just now, as if all the light was swallowed up.” Seeing that Lin Jiu didn’t believe it, the old village chief immediately explained.
But no matter how he explained, he couldn’t explain what had just happened. His face turned pale and he couldn’t help coughing: “Cough cough!! Cough cough!!”
“Village chief, don’t get excited, don’t get excited…” Seeing this, Lin Jiu hurriedly helped him to sit down, while still persuading him.
He was afraid that the old village chief would be so excited that he would be out of breath.
“Ajiu, you must find Lin Mo back. He is the hope of our Lin family.” After catching his breath, the old village chief held Lin Jiu’s hand and said earnestly.
Although he was just an ordinary citizen, his Lin family had once been glorious, and they had preserved some books and stories about the master, which were passed down from generation to generation by the village chiefs.
That’s why he knew what had just happened to Lin Mo, and he dared to confirm what had just happened, whether it was the awakening of the Master, or an extraordinary Master.
The black fog that covered the entire village and the blood-red eyes in the fog were proof that the awakened Master’s lair must be very powerful.
This is the foundation that their Lin family has built. Even if their entire village is destroyed this time, as long as they awaken a master, he will not hesitate at all.
Ordinary people in this world actually face not only man-made disasters, but also demons and monsters. People die from these disasters every day.
Therefore, if some people or most of the tribesmen die, they will not care as long as the Master can be awakened.
Even if it is an ordinary master, the entire clan or the entire village can be blessed.
It’s not just Kyushu, the whole world is the same.
Lin Jiu felt a little heavy when he heard the old village chief’s words. The Master awakens due to various reasons, but every Master who awakens will unconsciously hide himself or unconsciously look for a safe place.
The extraordinary master is even worse. The awakened extraordinary nest will autonomously take the master into hiding.
Just like what happened just now when Lin Mo was wrapped in black fog and turned into a purple-black meteor and left here.
Lin Jiu comforted the old village chief, looked at the miserable situation around him, sighed, and then, Lin Jiu pinched his hands to make a spell, and suddenly a pentagram formation flashed.
“Buzz…” A buzzing sound was heard, and then a golden light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he saw things that he could not see normally.
In his eyes, wisps of black gas dissipated in the air, and the black gas around the mummies was the thickest, flowing out from their seven orifices.
At the same time, Lin Jiu also felt an ominous feeling from the black air, which was almost the same as the aura of the ghost messenger in his underworld.
At this time, Lin Jiu also knew what type of nest Lin Mo awakened in. It was a underworld nest, or a weird nest.
In this world, various nests are also divided into many types, including the Five Elements, Yang, Weird, Weapon, etc.
Anyway, the nest series in this world are varied, and new ones appear from time to time.
“Ajiu, how about finding Lin Mo? He is only ten years old. You must find him.” At this time, the old village chief came over and asked anxiously.
He was very worried about a child outside. Although he was an extraordinary master, that was what made him worrying. An extraordinary master who had not grown up was just a child crossing the street with a gold brick.
Those hungry wolves will eat everything up.
“Only ten years old!?” Lin Jiu was shocked again when he heard it, and his brows furrowed into a shape of a “川” (a line). It can be said that such an extraordinary master has unlimited possibilities.
But he is only ten years old, and it would be a big trouble if he goes astray. After all, he is only ten years old, some concepts are not clear to him, and sometimes he can be easily led astray by others.
“Village chief, which direction did Lin Mo leave in?” Thinking of this, Lin Jiu asked. No matter whether he could find him or not, he would try to look for him.
Whether for the Lin family or for Jiuzhou, he doesn’t want another devil to appear.
Especially this extraordinary master of the weird system can be said to be the weirdest. For example, the underworld, according to legend, was also evolved from a weird nest.
But these are all legends, he doesn’t know whether they are true or not.
The old village chief pointed to the southeast and said, “It’s heading southeast.”
When the black fog disappeared, he saw a purple-black meteor flying towards the southeast.
Lin Jiu raised his head and looked towards the southeast. In that direction was a crisscrossing mountain range.
I hope I can find it.
Lin Jiu thought secretly in his heart, but he didn’t hold out too much hope. After all, the master of the weird system was the best at hiding.
“Master!! Master!” But at this moment, two panting voices reached his ears. As soon as Lin Jiu heard the voice, he knew who it was.
They were his two disappointing disciples, Qiu Sheng and Wencai.
In fact, he was a little skeptical now. How could such a wise and brave man like him accept two such incompetent disciples?
He advanced from a Taoist soldier to a Taoist general and became a transcendent being, but his two disciples could not even get a Taoist soldier, which was really a disgrace to him.
You can’t enter their Maoshan casually. If you want to enter Maoshan, the first step is to subdue a Taoist soldier in the secret world of Maoshan. But if you have the ability, you can also subdue a Taoist general.
Taoist generals are the advanced version of Taoist soldiers.
In this world, nests can be upgraded, but it is just very difficult.
Maoshan has a long heritage and has many upgraded nests.
When he was taking the test in Maoshang, his two incompetent disciples couldn’t even subdue a low-level Taoist soldier. It was really embarrassing at the time.
At that time in the mountains, he was often laughed at by his archenemy.
“Are you bastards? At this speed, by the time you get here, Hua Qi will be shot.” Thinking of this, Lin Jiu began to teach them a lesson.
Wencai and Qiu Sheng, who were gasping for breath, looked at the corpse on the ground with pale faces. Combined with the teachings of their master, their hearts sank.
“Master, this is all Wencai’s fault. He’s the one holding me back, that’s why I’m so slow.” Qiu was afraid of being scolded by the master, so he immediately pushed everything onto Wencai.
After all, it is better for your fellow Taoists to die than for me to die.

Chapter 3 Overlord Gastly (Old Version)
When Wencai heard Qiu Sheng’s words, he immediately became anxious and quickly responded: “Master, this is none of my business, it’s all Qiu Sheng’s fault…”
But before he could finish, Lin Jiu glared at his two useless disciples and shouted coldly, “Shut up! Go and help the villagers clean up the bodies.”
Then he looked at the old village chief. These two disciples really brought shame to him.
“Village head, Linjia Village has been destroyed. Why don’t we move it to Renjia Town? Renjia Town is at least a big town and will be safer.”
Upon hearing this, the old village chief sighed as he looked at the few dilapidated thatched huts left and some old, weak and sick people.
There are not many laborers in Linjia Village now, so it is useless to stay here.
“Ajiu, is Renjia Town willing to accept us?” However, the village chief still said with some concern.
After all, they were all outsiders, and he was still worried that the people of Renjia Town would not welcome the old, weak, sick and disabled.
“Don’t worry, village chief, I still have some say in the Ren family.” Uncle Jiu said after hearing this.
The current Renjia Town is his Taoist temple, and he was the one who dealt with all those ghosts and monsters, so the mayor and the landlords of Renjia Town all respect him a lot.
After all, this is a real world full of monsters and demons.
In addition, Renjia Town is also expanding, so there is no problem in allocating a piece of land to the elderly, the weak and the disabled in Linjia Village.
After hearing Lin Jiu’s words, the old village chief breathed a sigh of relief, and then he went downstairs to arrange things.
Since they are leaving, they have to deal with these fields. They are the most valuable things in their Linjia Village.
After selling it, they can also resettle the remaining villagers of Linjia Village.
Originally there were more than 200 people in the village, but now there are only about 100 left, most of them are women, children, and the elderly, with only about 20 men left.
After arranging everything, Lin Jiu took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on his leg. Then, Lin Jiu turned into a residual shadow and flew directly into the distance.
This is the magic talisman, which can be said to be the most practical talisman of Maoshan.
“Wow…Master runs so fast.” Wencai said in shock with his mouth wide open as he watched his master disappear in just a blink of an eye.
“Pa! Come here and work quickly.” At this moment, Qiu Sheng slapped him on the back of the head and said unhappily.
In fact, Qiu Sheng was very envious of his master’s methods, but he had no magic power and could not use the talismans at all.
However, in two years, he will be able to go to Maoshan again to subdue the Taoist soldiers. By then, he will be able to cultivate magical powers and use some Maoshan methods.
This time he was confident that he could subdue a Taoist soldier.
……………………
Time flies, and two days passed by unknowingly.
Lin Jiu searched for two days, but gave up when he didn’t find Lin Mo.
During these two days, all the matters in Linjia Village were dealt with and everything that needed to be bought was bought. At the same time, Lin Jiu did not forget to leave a message in the ruins of Linjia Village.
In this way, if Lin Mo comes back, he will also know where the people from Linjia Village have gone.
Meanwhile, late at night.
The thunder was deafening.
At this moment, the sky seemed to be dyed with thick ink, heavy rain was pouring down, and the world seemed to be tightly shrouded by a layer of deep darkness.
The howling wind was raging wildly, carrying with it the cold rain, lashing the earth like a whip. This majestic momentum fully demonstrated the majestic power of nature.
And in a long-abandoned temple.
The temple was about 30 to 40 square meters in area, and the mud-brick walls were already riddled with holes and in a dilapidated state, with cold wind blowing in. Many tiles on the roof had also fallen off, and if you looked up, you could see the sky.
Rainwater kept pouring in through the broken holes.
Snap!
A bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
The sudden brightness allows one to have a panoramic view of the entire scene inside the ancient temple.
There is a clay sculpture enshrined in the temple. Its body has long been destroyed into pieces, with only a pair of broken legs remaining on the base, and half a clay snake head placed in the corner.
On the beams, several spiders were weaving webs. As the wind and rain passed by, the webs trembled slightly.
The temple is very desolate, but the weeds around it grow very lushly.
“Swish, swish, swish!!!” At the same time, between the flickering of lightning, a huge monster was wandering freely in the storm, and wherever it passed was crushed one by one.
At the same time, a long scratch was dragged on the ground. The giant’s body was shining with a cold light like steel under the rain.
“Crack!” Accompanied by a deafening noise, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly crossed the sky like a sharp sword.
At this thrilling moment, the huge monster that had been hiding in the depths of darkness could no longer hide and was finally completely exposed to the lightning.
If someone were here, they would probably gasp – this is actually a giant python that is more than ten meters long! Its extremely thick body is at least half a meter wide. Such a huge size is daunting.
Looking at the python again, it was even more ferocious and terrifying. There was a huge bulge on its forehead, as if it contained endless power and mystery.
The palm-sized snake scales tightly cover the entire snake body, like a layer of indestructible armor.
These snake scales are shiny black in color and seem to be made of fine steel, exuding a cold and hard texture, as if each scale is a symbol of the giant python’s ferocity and power.
At this moment, the huge python was twisting its body like the undulating mountains, slowly approaching a dilapidated temple not far away.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, a cloud of black mist filled with a strong ominous aura, like a poisonous python with bared fangs and claws, swept straight towards the giant python at lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, this strange black fog tightly wrapped the giant python from head to tail.
Faced with this sudden change, the giant python was obviously frightened. You know, this python is not an ordinary beast, it already has a certain degree of intelligence.
At this moment, facing the black fog that appeared out of nowhere and was full of dangerous atmosphere, a strong fear and uneasiness suddenly surged in the giant python’s heart.
It struggled desperately to break free from the terrible restraints, but the black mist seemed to have life, wrapping itself tighter and tighter, leaving the python no chance of escape.
“Roar!!!” With this deafening roar, it twisted its body with all its might, eager to quickly escape from this terrible place. It looked as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world and was terrified.
However, no matter how it struggled, the black mist that followed it like a shadow was like an omnipresent ghost, tightly entwining it. The black mist seemed to have life and consciousness, flowing through every pore of its body and madly pouring into the huge snake body.
As the black fog continued to invade, it began to feel unprecedented pain. This pain was like thousands of sharp blades cutting its body at the same time, penetrating deep into its bones, making it unbearable. Its muscles twitched involuntarily, and its originally smooth scales became dull due to the pain.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in just a short while, a shocking scene occurred – the entire huge snake body dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally strong and powerful body gradually shrank, as if all the vitality and energy were sucked away.
In the blink of an eye, the once majestic python completely lost its life force and lay motionless on the ground. Its lifeless eyes stared into the distance, as if it still had some fear and reluctance to death.
The thick black fog that had tightly wrapped the python’s body was like being pulled by an invisible giant hand, shrinking back towards the ruined temple at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the black fog disappeared into the ruined temple, as if it had never appeared.
At this moment, in this dilapidated temple with a gloomy atmosphere, in a dimly lit and extremely hidden corner, a creepy and ominous black air was slowly dissipating.
As the black gas gradually became thinner and finally dissipated completely, a child about ten years old appeared there.
The child was thin and small, wearing tattered clothes covered with stains and dust, looking very disheveled.
This child was Lin Mo. After three days of settling down, the strength in Lin Mo’s body had stabilized.
“Swoosh!” Suddenly, Lin Mo, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, opened his eyes abruptly. A purple light flashed in his pupils, and then he slowly sat up from the ground.
After taking a look at the surroundings, Lin Mo muttered to himself: “Life is so unpredictable. I never thought that I, Lin Mo, would have such great luck and live a second life.”
During these three days of coma, he has figured out everything.
Lin Mo is actually an ordinary person from Blue Star, but because of sleeping once, he can never wake up again.
This made him complain endlessly. His rebirth was so dull, just like his previous life, ordinary and dull.
But it’s better to be ordinary and not be hit by a dump truck. It’s much better than those predecessors.
Moreover, his cheat code is also very powerful. It can awaken various nests, such as his novice gift package, Gastly’s Nest.
“Garsis…” Lin Mo raised his lips slightly and called out softly. In an instant, an excited voice sounded leisurely under the night sky.
“Ehehehehehehe~” Ten Gastly emerged from the void.
Gastly is a thin, gas-like life form with a black spherical core. It has large white eyes, small black pupils, and a mouth with a pair of fangs.
It is almost invisible, but once Gastly appears, a faint sweet scent will be emitted nearby.
Among them, there is a Gastly that is larger in size and darker in color. It is a heterochromatic Gastly and also a dominant Gastly.
Each nest has a special, unique spirit, or monster, etc…
Anyway, the names are almost the same, the unified name is guardian spirit.
(New book released, begging for flowers!! Monthly tickets!! Evaluations!!!)
Chapter 4 Robbery of Four Eyes (Old Version)
And this Overlord Gastly is the chief commander of his Gastly Nest.
“Hehehe…”
Lin Mo stretched out his right hand and stroked the big head of the Overlord Gastly. Originally, Gastly was made of gas and could not be touched at all.
But who can blame him for being the master of Gastly’s Nest? He can touch it if he wants.
In addition, he has obtained the power of ghost and poison. The ghost system can also be said to be the ghost system.
At this time, he can be said to be a humanoid Pokémon.
Now Lin Mo can be said to have reached success overnight.
“Yiheihei… Yiheihei…”
Listening to the occasional cries of the ten Gastlys, Lin Mo waved his hand, and the nine normal Gastlys returned to the nest, leaving only the Overlord Gastly.
Now his Master level is only elementary, and the Gastlys are also only elementary in strength. It is no problem for them to deal with some little ghosts and some little monsters.
Now his main task is to upgrade Gastly’s strength, and the way to upgrade is very simple. There are two ways: one is to kill monsters, and the other is to form a force.
Lin Mo wants to use both methods. He plans to proceed at the same time, so that his strength can be increased the fastest.
In addition, today’s era can be said to be the best era for people with talent.
There is an old saying that goes, heroes emerge in troubled times.
Lin Mo’s previous life was ordinary, but he wanted to live a spectacular life in this one.
“Crack!” Accompanied by a deafening roar, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly crossed the dark night sky like a silver snake, instantly illuminating the entire world as bright as day.
In that moment of brightness, Lin Mo’s figure clearly came into everyone’s sight. He stood tall, head held high, and exuded an unparalleled domineering aura. That domineering aura was not just superficial, but came from deep in his heart, naturally flowing out, making it impossible for people to ignore it.
At this moment, Lin Mo seemed to have transformed into the ruler of the entire world, exuding an extremely powerful aura. That aura was like a surging wave, sweeping in all directions one after another, and everything trembled wherever it went.
As if it had keenly sensed its master’s unwavering determination, the Overlord Gastly, who had been guarding beside him, was not willing to be outdone. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a cloud of extremely dense black mist.
The black fog spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye it completely enveloped the entire dilapidated temple like a thick curtain.
This layer of black fog not only shows Gastly’s loyalty to Lin Mo, but also represents the unbreakable bond between him and Lin Mo. No matter how time passes, how the world changes, or how the sky collapses and the earth breaks, Gastly will stand by Lin Mo without hesitation, and will never leave him, and will accompany him through life and death.
Because to the Overlord Gastly, Lin Mo is not only his master, but also the eternal belief and supreme faith in his heart.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely serious, a “Gurgle!” sound rang out from the ruined temple, which made Gastly look at his master with his big eyes.
What it means is, Master, are you hungry?
“Ahem, Gastly, you know, your master hasn’t eaten for three days. This is a normal reaction.” Lin Mo coughed twice and said awkwardly.
Although the power from Gastly’s Nest fed back to nourish his body during these three days of sleep, it could only sustain his life.
But it couldn’t fill his stomach. Now that he was awake, he was in urgent need of food. At the same time, he did not forget to take a look at the snake body that had turned into a mummy outside the ruined temple.
If I had known earlier, I would not have sucked the giant python dry. At least I could have filled my stomach this way.
But he didn’t think about it at that time. After all, the nest also needed to be upgraded. After sucking the giant python dry, the progress bar of the nest reached one percent.
“Hehehe…Hehehe…”
When the Overlord Gastly saw that his master was hungry, he immediately started barking, which meant, “Master, I’m going to catch prey.”
“Okay, you really are worthy of being my good assistant. Gastly, I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll go make a fire.” Lin Mo patted its big head with satisfaction. He liked such a diligent guardian spirit very much.
“Hehehe…” The Overlord Gastly nodded, replied to his master, and immediately left the ruined temple.
Flying into the rainy night, Gastly is not afraid of getting lost, because with the nest there, the guardian spirits will never get lost.
Their master is like a beacon in the ocean, guiding their way forward.
Lin Mo saw Gastly flying into the dark night and was also looking for dry wood in the ruined temple. As for how to light it, that was much easier.
Although he did not obtain the power of fire, with his ghost power, he could also use other methods to ignite dry wood.
Lin Mo carefully disassembled the futon, and the dry straw was slowly crushed under his hands and then piled in one place.
“Turn it around!”
As the ghost power in his body slowly surged, the two pieces of wood began to rub against each other rapidly. As the speed continued to increase, sparks flew between the two pieces of wood.
Although the spark was very small, it could eventually start a prairie fire, and the dry straw was ignited in an instant.
“Buzz!!”
A wisp of flame rose up and began to devour the surrounding straw and other flammable materials.
“Hey, isn’t this a success? Now all we need is Gastly’s prey.”
A faint smile appeared on Lin Mo’s face.
Meanwhile, not far from here.
“Ding-ling-ling!!! Ding-ling-ling!!”
In this storm, the sound of bells could be heard.
“The weather changes so quickly. It was sunny in the daytime, but why did it rain heavily at night?!” A middle-aged Taoist priest in a Taoist robe was cursing in the heavy rain.
At the same time, behind him, there were ten figures wearing shuttle clothes and wrapped tightly, and these ten figures were very strange, jumping around.
“Drip, drip, drip!” Raindrops as big as marbles kept falling from the sky, making the Taoist even more annoyed.
“Tick, tick …
The trees in the woods were swaying hither and thither, and the sky was full of swirling leaves, some of which even stuck to the Taoist’s face.
“Oh my Taoist! Why am I, Simu, so unlucky? I should have taken a day off today.” Simu complained as he brushed away the leaves that were blowing on his face.
That’s right, this person is Lin Jiu’s junior fellow apprentice, Maoshan Taoist Simu.
Today, he was supposed to take the corpse to various customers, but who would have thought that he would encounter a violent storm on the way. Fortunately, he had been prepared, otherwise, the “customers” he was escorting would have been in trouble.
“Snap, snap!!”
Simu wiped his glasses and looked at the rain which showed no sign of stopping, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Raindrops as big as beans fell into the mountains and forests.
The raindrops hit the leaves in the woods, making crackling sounds.
“Bang!”
A bright light suddenly flashed across the sky, and thunder roared, causing pain in people’s eardrums.
It even made all the customers in Simu start to tremble. Although these customers were not zombies, they could be considered walking corpses, a kind of evil creatures.
However, facing this kind of divine thunder, any evil creature would be afraid, let alone these low-level zombies.
Simu hurried over to check, these were all his clients. To Simu, customers were God, they were his bread and butter.
“Yihehe… Yihehe!!” But at this moment, a series of strange voices rang out in the storm, startling Simu and he quickly looked around.
“who?!!”
Simu pulled out his bronze sword and looked around vigilantly.
It’s stormy now, so the most important thing is to be careful.
“Hehehe!! Hehehe!!” Before Simu could find the owner of the voice, the owner of the voice flew out. The overlord Gastly floated out, looking at Simu with teasing eyes.
“Huh? What is this thing? It looks like a ghost. Is it a strange ghost?” Four Eyes looked at Gastly floating in the air with a strange look on his face, full of confusion.
He has seen a lot over the years, but he has never seen such a strange ghost. If it is not a ghost, the strong ghost aura cannot deceive people.
“Hehehe!” Suddenly, Gastly’s mind moved, and the four-eyed package floated up. Then, Gastly flew towards his master.
“Robbery?!! Damn! Stop right there!” They were all shocked, then started cursing and quickly chased after them with their clients.
Chapter 5: Longhu Mountain (Old Version)
Boom! The deafening sound of thunder reverberated between heaven and earth like a war drum, as if to shake the whole world.
Along with the earth-shaking thunder, dark clouds rolled and roared in the sky like a group of angry black beasts, quickly gathering into a dark sky that covered the sun.
In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and the whistling sound of the wind was like millions of ferocious beasts roaring in unison, madly tearing everything around.
The trees were blown down and their branches and leaves were flying wildly in the air; the flowers and plants were trembling in the wind, as if they would be uprooted at any time.
At this moment, the drizzle in the sky had turned into a downpour. The dense raindrops were like silver arrows, pouring down from the dark clouds.
They hit the ground hard, splashing water and mist, making the vision blurred. The mountain road was soon filled with rainwater, forming a series of turbulent streams, rushing towards the low-lying areas.
However, Simu ignored all this and just ran all the way to chase after the package. You know, the package contained the deposits of his customers. If it was lost, he would lose at least half of his profit.
He has been traveling around the world for more than ten years, and he has always been the one robbing others, never the one being robbed. What’s more, the robber was actually a ghost.
If a Maoshan Taoist priest knew that his things were stolen by ghosts, where would he save his face?
So, no matter what, he had to snatch the package back.
However, there were no roads around, only forests. Dense vegetation was crisscrossed, and dead leaves were piled up on the ground, and everything was wet. Simu’s speed was slowed down a lot, and he fell several times in succession.
After chasing for a while, he came to a forest.
The surrounding environment became very unfamiliar to Simu.
This was a pine forest. In the middle of the forest there was a small flat area, on which stood a dilapidated temple. He looked ahead at the dilapidated temple with flickering lights, and muttered to himself:
“When did a temple appear here?”
However, he has always been driving corpses along the mountain road, so it is normal that he didn’t know there is a temple here.
Thinking of this, Simu took his client and rushed towards the ruined temple in a menacing manner. Although the strange ghost ran fast, he could find it by following the ghost’s aura.
Otherwise, he would have been lost in such a complicated forest.
Meanwhile, in the ruined temple, Lin Mo looked at the package that Gastly brought back, and was a little surprised. He asked, “Gasly, where did you find this?”
At the same time, his hands kept packing and unpacking the package. When he opened it, he found some dry food and a few rolls of dollars wrapped in red paper. This surprised Lin Mo.
He didn’t expect that there was so much money in this package. Could it be that Gastly snatched it from that unlucky guy?
After all, this is the wilderness, and he doesn’t believe that Gastly picked it up unless it was stolen from someone else.
“Hehehe…” When the Overlord Gastly heard what his master said, he immediately told him everything that had just happened.
When Lin Mo heard this, his forehead was full of black lines. This guy really robbed, and he robbed a Taoist priest. According to Gastly, he was a Taoist priest who drove corpses.
“Then you won’t let anyone chase you, will you?” Lin Mo threw a piece of dry food to Gastly and asked casually.
Gastly opened his mouth wide and swallowed the dry food in one gulp.
Then Lin Mo put the package away. Since he had robbed it, he might as well rob it. He also happened to be short of money, so he used it as start-up capital.
Biting his dry food, Lin Mo turned his head to look at the tattered wooden door that was crackling in the strong wind, and saw a group of jumping black shadows jumping towards him.
And from time to time, the sound of “ding-ling-ling” bells was heard, which startled Lin Mo. He thought secretly in his heart, could it be that the Taoist priest was chasing after me?
“Garse, you hide in my shadow first. If there’s any movement, you can seize the opportunity to attack.”
When the Overlord Gastly heard the order from his master, he immediately turned into a black shadow and sneaked directly into Lin Mo’s shadow.
At the same time, Lin Mo did not forget to put the package into his personal space, which came with the golden finger.
Then he cleaned up some dry food foam at the corner of his mouth, and then looked vigilantly at the Taoist priest who was getting closer and closer. It was impossible for him to return the package to the Taoist priest, because what was in his hands was his.
At this time, Simu, when he came to the ruined temple, looked at the python’s body that had turned into a mummy in shock. According to his eyesight, the big python had already awakened its spirit and its cultivation level was as strong as a small demon.
But now it has died here, and its energy has been sucked dry. Even its scales, which were once as hard as iron, have rotted away.
“Crack!” The four eyes shattered as soon as they touched each other.
At the same time, Simu raised his head and saw a child in the dilapidated temple, looking at him vigilantly. A golden light flashed in Simu’s eyes.
This pair of glasses of his is a magical tool that he specially refined and can be used as a magical tool to open his Dharma eyes.
At the moment he opened his Dharma Eye, four pairs of eyes fell directly on Lin Mo. Shockingly, a dense black gas that seemed to have life was surging wildly.
The black energy seemed like a ferocious beast, with bared fangs and claws, emitting endless evil aura.
In the perception of the four eyes, this seemingly ordinary child is now as unfathomable as the source of darkness. However, although this black energy is so powerful and terrifying, it still seems a little immature, as if it has just awakened.
What is even more peculiar is that the terrifying black air did not cause any harm to the child. Instead, it was like a loyal guard, surrounding him closely and protecting this “monarch of darkness”.
“Just awakened… awakened… can’t hurt… like the monarch…” Simu’s brain was thinking about these words frantically, repeating them over and over again. Suddenly, Simu’s brain flashed with an idea and flashed two words “Master!!”
Thinking of this, Simu’s little heart began to beat fast, and his originally angry face began to turn red. In his eyes, the children in the dilapidated temple, although their skin was not like those of ordinary families.
But the clothes he was wearing didn’t show that of a young master from an aristocratic family. After all, if a young master from an aristocratic family had awakened his nest, how could he appear in this wilderness?
This is a wild Master, and an extraordinary Master at that. This is simply God’s help to him. You know, this extraordinary Master can be said to be one in millions.
The general meaning is that it is impossible for ten million people to awaken the chosen one, and the ones who have awakened in recent years are those from the big and powerful sects.
For example, the young Taoist priest of Mount Longhu awakened a wind tiger nest, which is a white tiger that controls the wind element.
But now there is a wild extraordinary master. If he is accepted as a disciple, he would be like a little fat cow bragging, so awesome. Even if he cannot accept him as a disciple, he can still establish a good relationship with him.
It would be of great benefit for him to establish a good relationship with a super master. As long as the super master grows up, he will become a hegemon sooner or later. At that time, he will make a lot of money if the super master gives him some money.
After sorting out all the things, Simu didn’t care about his God anymore, and walked into the dilapidated temple with a kind face. Lin Mo saw the Taoist priest coming in, dripping wet.
Seeing the appearance of the Taoist priest driving corpses, two words flashed through Lin Mo’s mind: “Four Eyes”. This is exactly the same as the Taoist priest with four eyes in “Uncle Zombie”.
He also wears glasses and is a corpse driver. He can’t really be a four-eyed man.
“Hey, little friend, do you want to be my disciple? My name is Simu, and I am a disciple of Maoshan. As long as you are my disciple, I will provide you with food and accommodation, and whatever you say will be yours.”
Without waiting for Lin Mo to speak, Simu smiled very shamelessly and shamelessly called himself a master.
Hearing Simu’s shameless words, Lin Mo rolled his eyes. He was now certain that this was the Simu in “Uncle Zombie”.
There is no one else but Simu who is so shameless.
At the same time, Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief. Since this man was Simu, he was not afraid that he would do something bad to him. Although Simu had an eccentric personality, he was still a very good person.
In this world where people eat each other, he can be considered a good person.
However, he was not very willing to take Simu as his master. He did not want to have an elder above him. If he had not awakened the golden finger, he would definitely take him as his master, but now there was no need.
He also has to occupy territory and kill monsters to level up, so he has no time to practice.
Moreover, these Maoshan disciples are subject to regulations that prohibit them from being exposed to too much worldly influence or engaging in excessive killing.
In fact, it is not just Maoshan, other sects are the same, such as Longhushan and so on.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo refused and said, “No, I don’t need to be your disciple.”
“Hey, little brother, don’t be so quick to refuse. I still have a lot of benefits that I haven’t told you yet…” Simu said anxiously when he heard it, but when he saw Lin Mo’s impatient expression, he didn’t say anything else.
However, if I can’t accept him as my apprentice, then being good friends is also good. After all, one more friend means one more way.
“Since you are unwilling to take me as your master, then would you like to come to my temple and sit there?”
Afterwards, Simu started inviting again, and he didn’t say a word about the package he lost, just as he was investing in this potential stock.
This is a business that is guaranteed to make money.
Chapter 6: The Abandoned Charity House (Old Version)
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, the whole world seemed to gradually wake up from its deep sleep.
At dawn, the golden light was like a group of lively and cheerful elves. They lightly passed through the transparent windows and gently fell on Lin Mo’s quiet and peaceful face like a veil.
Lin Mo’s long eyelashes trembled slightly under his tightly closed eyes, as if touched by the warm light. Then, he slowly opened his eyes, still sleepy and not yet fully adapted to the bright environment.
At this moment, a big face suddenly appeared in his sight without any warning!
The face was very close at hand, and the expression on it was full of an indescribable cunning and weirdness, especially the pair of eyes that were flashing with a smirk, and the nasty smile on the corners of the mouth, he looked like a child who had succeeded in a prank.
This sudden change was like a thunderclap exploding in Lin Mo’s ears, instantly dispelling his remaining sleepiness without a trace.
He was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost instinctively called out to his Gastlys and used his powerful Shadow Ball skill to blow this reckless and ignorant guy away.
At the same time, the frightened Lin Mo subconsciously retreated rapidly, and his body slammed into the wall behind him. His young and tender heart was like a frightened deer, beating wildly in his chest, making a rapid and violent “bang bang bang” sound.
It was not until he finally saw clearly that the guy in front of him who had frightened him to death was actually Simu that Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. But then he couldn’t help but rolled his eyes fiercely and complained unhappily:
“Simu, do you know that scaring others can really kill them? You almost scared me to death just now!”
Seeing that he had frightened Lin Mo quite a bit, Simu showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. He scratched his head and said sheepishly, “I just roasted a pheasant. As soon as it was done, I was going to call you to get up and eat.”
When Lin Mo heard this, he smelled the aroma of barbecue in the air, which made his stomach growl as if a faucet was turned on.
This made Lin Mo’s face turn slightly red. This was a natural reaction of the body and he couldn’t control it. Including today, he hadn’t eaten meat for four days.
It is normal to have such a reaction.
When Si Mu saw this, a smile flashed in his eyes. Children are children. Although they are mature, their nature has not changed.
I’m so thin-skinned. I feel embarrassed.
However, the smile in Simu’s eyes only flashed by, and he said to Lin Mo: “Let’s go, let’s leave here after we finish eating.”
Seeing this, Lin Mo did not refuse. He walked to the fire, picked up a roasted chicken and started to eat it. Although the taste was very simple, it was still good.
Plus, he hadn’t eaten meat for four days, so it was good to have something to eat.
Seeing that Lin Mo was eating so happily, Simu picked up another roast chicken and started eating. As for Lin Mo, after last night’s conversation, he had roughly confirmed Lin Mo’s identity.
This is the Master who awakened in desperation. As long as he doesn’t die halfway, he will definitely have a place in the land of Kyushu.
Considering Lin Mo’s personality, Simu was even more optimistic about him. Although he was only ten years old, he had a mature and steady personality, and the courage to kill decisively. The corpse of the giant python outside the ruined temple was evidence of this.
After a few minutes, both of them finished eating the roasted chicken. Lin Mo wiped the oil stains on his hands with hay and asked, “Simu, don’t you corpse drivers have to set out at night?”
“Haha, you don’t know this.” Simu wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth very rudely with his sleeve and said with a smile.
“Oh, tell me about it.” Lin Mo asked curiously after hearing it. Although he did not worship Simu as his master, he was still very curious about some things.
Seeing Lin Mo so curious, Simu smiled and explained, “Corpse driving is usually done at night because it is quieter and less crowded, which can reduce the risk of being disturbed and discovered by the outside world.”
“But the most important thing is to avoid strangers. We are now in a deserted wilderness, so there won’t be any strangers. So we can drive the corpses during the day.”
After Simu explained the situation briefly, he began to deal with his clients. The ten corpses were still covered by the shuttle clothes. If you got closer, you could smell a hint of cold air.
Lin Mo looked at the ten zombies curiously. When he got closer, he could smell the stench of the corpses. This made Lin Mo admire Taoist priests like Simu very much, who could endure such a smell.
After a while, Simu took care of his clients and said to Lin Mo with a smile: “Lin Mo, let’s go.”
After greeting Lin Mo, Simu shook his copper bell, “Ding-ling-ling!!” Ding-ling-ling! ! “As the sound of the copper bell rang in the jungle, Simu’s voice also shouted.
“Let’s go!!! Let’s go!!”
“Huh…” Hearing Simu’s strange voice, he got goosebumps. This voice was really too weird.
Fortunately, it was daytime. If it was night, I’m afraid everyone would be scared to death.
However, Lin Mo just got goosebumps, and then followed Simu. Looking at Simu jumping around, Lin Mo felt strange for a while.
Sometimes he wanted to ask Simu, wouldn’t it be too tiring to jump around like this? Was there no other way to replace it?
But after thinking about it, he decided to give up.
Along the way, Lin Mo looked at the surrounding environment.
Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain last night, which was like a pair of gentle and powerful hands, carefully washing the entire earth.
The warm morning sun is like a kind mother, using her soft light to gently dispel the mist covering the earth. The forest is like a child who has just awakened, filled with a breath of prosperity.
Fresh air permeates every corner, which is a unique scent after the rain, mixed with the fragrance of soil and the scent of trees. It seems like a perfume carefully blended by nature. Just a sniff will make people feel relaxed and happy.
Lin Mo stood there quietly, his nostrils flaring slightly, greedily sniffing the delicate smell of earth in the air and the rich natural scent emanating from the trees, as if he was savoring the nectar gift from nature.
Time passed quietly like a gurgling stream, and before we knew it, it was already evening. The red sun that had been hanging high in the sky was now slowly sinking towards the middle of the mountain.
The sunset glow is like a soft veil, gently covering the entire earth, just like golden crumbs scattered all over the earth, shining brightly, giving all things in the world a layer of dreamy golden clothes.
“Lin Mo, look, the Lijia Village is just ahead. Let’s rest here tonight.”
Simu walked out of the forest and looked towards the village ahead.
At this time, the sunset glow is like a soft golden gauze, just draped over the wheat field. The golden wheat waves sway gently in the breeze, as if whispering a story in the countryside.
In the distance, low farmhouses are arranged in an orderly manner, and wisps of smoke rise up, slowly blending into the orange-red sunset. The whole picture exudes a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
Lin Mo’s gaze also fell on Lijia Village not far away. Looking at the curling smoke, he nodded slightly, and then walked into Lijia Village with Simu.
As they walked, Simu told Lin Mo about the general situation of Lijia Village: “This Lijia Village is a big village, with 800 households. It can be regarded as the largest village in the vicinity.”
“Something is not right here!” Lin Mo had a very strong feeling as soon as he stepped into Lijia Village.
However, seeing that Simu had no expression, Lin Mo didn’t say anything and followed Simu to the charity cemetery. Simu didn’t enter the village from the main road, but from a small path.
After all, he was a corpse driver, and it would be bad if he scared other villagers.
When Simu brought Lin Mo to the charity cemetery and looked at the dilapidated one, Lin Mo said speechlessly, “Simu, this charity cemetery seems to be no different from the dilapidated temple last night, right?”
With the help of the afterglow of the sunset in the sky, Lin Mo looked through the narrow gap in the door and took in everything inside.
In the center of the front hall, a statue stood quietly. This statue had gone through countless springs, summers, autumns and winters. Time had mercilessly carved deep and shallow marks on it, and thick dust piled up like a mountain, as if covering the statue with a layer of old veil.
The veil was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the original face and expression of the statue, and it also concealed its former glory.
However, what was even more horrifying was that in the already dilapidated incense burner, there were actually a few half-burnt incense sticks. These incense sticks seemed to have just been extinguished, and the half-burnt incense sticks still emitted a faint residual smoke.
It is conceivable that not long ago, perhaps someone came to this corner long forgotten by the world, lit these incense sticks with an extremely pious heart, and made the most sincere wishes from the bottom of his heart to the statue.
But at this moment, that person has already left, leaving only these residual incense, standing alone in the incense burner, silently telling the story of the past between the dust and silence.
The sunlight poured in through the shabby windows of the front hall, creating patches of light and shadows on the ground. Those light and shadows were of various shapes and colors, some looked like hideous and twisted ghost faces, while others looked like creepy smiling faces.
They jumped and danced on the ground so unscrupulously, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.
The entire lobby was filled with a quiet and slightly eerie atmosphere. It felt like being in a mysterious space isolated from the world, which made people feel scared but couldn’t help wanting to find out what was going on.
I don’t know how long it has been since anyone took care of it.
When Simu heard Lin Mo’s words, he said with a smile: “Hehehe, this is still different. At least we can buy some delicious food.”
Then Simu pushed the door open directly, and immediately a cloud of dust blew in his face, making Simu wave his hand to clear it away.
Then he rang the bell and invited the customers in.
Chapter 7: Eight Great Spears (Old Version)
In the charity cemetery, Lin Mo patted a dusty bench, and the dust immediately flew up.
“Cough… cough… cough…” Lin Mo couldn’t help coughing twice, then he waved his hands to wave away the dust.
“Si Mu, isn’t there anyone in this village who usually takes care of this charity cemetery?”
Lin Mo looked at Simu who was burning incense for his client and asked.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Since the last generation of people who looked after the charity cemetery passed away, the cemetery has been abandoned.”
Simu finished lighting the last incense stick, sighed, and looked around the room which was full of cobwebs and dust.
“Moreover, not everyone can stay at this charity cemetery. It depends on one’s fate. One must be born in an unlucky year, month, day and time.”
After hearing so many evil things, Lin Mo became even more confused. With so many evil things, and still having to guard the charity cemetery, wouldn’t this make it easier for ghosts to possess him?
As if knowing what Lin Mo was thinking, Simu continued, “It is said that extreme yin turns into extreme yang, and this charity house is located in the most yin place in the whole village, so extreme yin turns into extreme yang.”
When Lin Mo heard this, he understood. Isn’t this the transition from extreme yin to extreme yang? He still understood this.
After figuring out the matter, Lin Mo half-lay on the bench and said leisurely: “Simu, do you feel that there is something wrong with this Lijia Village?”
As soon as he entered Lijia Village, Lin Mo felt an uncomfortable atmosphere, which he couldn’t explain clearly.
Upon hearing this, Simu said, “This village is filled with an evil aura. It looks like an evil spirit has set its sights on Li Village.”
Such a strong demonic aura was like a bright light in the night to a Maoshan Taoist priest like him.
When Lin Mo heard this, he thought, is this a demonic aura?
At the same time, in the quiet and peaceful Lijia Village, a solemn and dignified ancestral hall was crowded with villagers.
They were either whispering to each other or standing quietly by the side, looking from time to time toward the conspicuous position in the center of the ancestral hall.
At this moment, the person sitting on the main seat was the respected village chief of Lijia Village. His weather-beaten face seemed to be carved with countless deep and shallow marks by the knife of time, and each wrinkle seemed to tell a story of the past that was unknown to the public.
The village chief is not only responsible for managing all the affairs of the village, but also serves as the head of the Li family.
Speaking of Lijia Village, in fact, it is not only people with the surname Li who live here. In addition to the large number of Li families, there are also residents with other surnames such as Zhang and Gao living here.
It’s just that because there are relatively more people with the surname Li, this village has always been called Lijia Village.
“Now let’s vote on whether we should offer sacrifice.”
As soon as the old village chief said this, the villagers present began to discuss.
“If you ask me, it’s a good idea to offer sacrifices. This way, our Lijia Village will at least have a monster to protect it, and we won’t have to worry about those horse thieves and other monsters.”
“Old dog Li! Bullshit! You are a single person without any children! You are just making sarcastic remarks!”
“That’s right, old dog Li! Shut the fuck up!”
“you……………”
Some agreed, but more opposed. After all, most people had children in their families, and the sacrifices were boys and girls. If they sacrificed a pair every year, then sooner or later the Li Village would be finished.
Moreover, the monsters who demanded sacrifices of young boys and girls were greedy, so most villagers were still opposed to it.
The old village chief was very pleased when he saw that most of the villagers were against it. He had lived for more than sixty years and had seen everything. To him, the monster that wanted young boys and girls was just a greedy demon.
You will never be satisfied. If you don’t resist now, you will always be the blood food raised by the demons.
Now in their Lijia Village, there are 800 households and more than 50 people. With their large numbers, they can fight even against demons.
Even if there are heavy losses, we will never become food for the demons.
“Old village chief, in this case, let’s gather the young and strong men and fight that demon tonight.” At this time, a muscular middle-aged man came out and spoke in a cold voice.
“That’s right. The men in our Lijia Village are not cowards. They will never send children into danger.” Then, another thin middle-aged man came out and spoke.
These two people are the patriarchs of the Gao and Zhang families, named Gao De and Zhang Wen respectively. They can be considered one scholar and one martial artist. The Gao family has passed down the martial arts of Bajiquan and Baji spear from generation to generation.
The inspection and patrol of Lijia Village are all the responsibility of the guard team formed by the Gao family. After all, this world is too chaotic, so a guard team is definitely necessary.
The Zhang family also has a heritage, but what they inherited is knowledge. They can be said to be the most educated people in Lijia Village. The Zhang family is responsible for all the caravans in Lijia Village.
Seeing that both family heads had spoken, the old village chief stopped talking nonsense and said sternly, “Gao De, take the guards and hide tonight to catch the demon off guard.”
“Zhang Wen, you take the other young men and get ready. If the guards can’t hold on, rush forward and kill the demon.”
Although the old village chief is old, his words are sonorous, powerful and full of determination.
“Yes, old village chief.” Gao De and Zhang Wen immediately clasped their fists.
Afterwards, the two of them called out two handsome young men, who were their sons, Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan.
These two people can be said to be the most outstanding young talents of their two families. Both of them are very skilled in martial arts, and their Bajiquan and Baji spear skills are even better than their parents.
He is also a man of both civil and military talents.
“Jin’er, go arrange the guards and take up weapons. It’s time to fight tonight.” Gao De looked at his son, who was already taller than him, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and then he gave the order.
“Yes, Dad.” Gao Jin nodded seriously and replied solemnly.
“Rishan, go and organize the young and strong people in the village and take up weapons. Either our Lijia Village will perish or that demon will die tonight.” Then Zhang Wen also spoke and instructed his son.
In fact, Zhang Rishan was just a child he met outside, not Zhang Wen’s biological son. However, although he was an adopted son, Zhang Wen treated Zhang Rishan as his own son.
In addition, he was born with a low sperm count and it was impossible for him to have children, so Zhang Wen trained Zhang Rishan as his successor.
At first, other members of the Zhang family had some complaints. After all, how could he be the patriarch of the Zhang family when he was not of Zhang family blood? However, Zhang Rishan’s excellence made all the members of the Zhang family shut up.
Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan looked at each other, then led the other villagers out of the ancestral hall. Soon, only three clan leaders were left in the entire ancestral hall.
The old village chief stood up, walked with his cane to a place where a big gun was enshrined, and said, “The world is in chaos now. Our three families have been in decline since the Demon Purgation. Tonight is the disaster for our three families. I hope we can survive it.”
“Gao De, this spear has been in use for a long time and has the power to restrain demons. It’s up to you tonight.”
The old village chief stroked the cold gun body with a nostalgic look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Gao De took a step forward and took out the big gun made of steel. As soon as he held it, he felt a warm power flowing into his hands.
“Village Chief, I will definitely live up to your trust.”
The old village chief nodded, then sighed again: “Oh, it would be great if someone in our village could awaken the Master.”
“Village head, it’s not that easy for a Master to awaken. In the past few decades, the number of Masters who have awakened in our Kyushu land is only one in ten million. Even if they have awakened, most of them are ordinary Masters.”
“Last time I heard in Foshan, the little celestial master of Longhu Mountain awakened the extraordinary nest and became an extraordinary master. There is nothing else.”
After hearing what the old village chief said, Zhang Wen shook his head helplessly. He had been in charge of the village’s caravan over the years, had been to some big cities, and knew a lot of news from the outside world.
The awakening of the Masters in Kyushu in recent years has been very bleak.
But it’s not just Kyushu, other countries are the same.
“The world has really changed. I remember how powerful our Jiuzhou was in the past, but now we are at the mercy of others.” Upon hearing this, the old village chief looked even more desolate.
“Village chief!! Village chief!! A Taoist priest has come to our village!!” But at this moment, a voice came with an excited tone.
After a while, a villager ran in, panting, with a happy look on his face.
Chapter 8: Monsters (Old Version)
“What? Take us there quickly. With the Taoist priest here, our chances will be greater.” The old village chief, Gao De, and Zhang Wen all showed joy when they heard this.
In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to ask the Taoist priest for help, but the time given by the demon was too short, only one day, or it’s not even a day, just half a day.
The demon seemed to have calculated the time and came to notify them at around six o’clock today, so they did not have enough time.
The nearest Taoist priest was hundreds of miles away, and there was no way they could make it in time with the transportation in this era, so they gave up this plan.
And now a Taoist priest has come, how can they not be happy? Although they don’t know how strong he is, at least he is better than ordinary people like them.
“Hahaha, old village chief, no need. I come here uninvited. You won’t be angry, will you?” Before the few people left the ancestral hall, a hearty voice came in.
Several people turned their heads to look at the gate of the ancestral hall, and saw a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe and holding a golden sword walking in, followed by a boy of about ten years old.
These two people are Simu and Lin Mo.
After finishing the affairs of the charity cemetery, Simu and Lin Mo went out to find some food. Although Lijia Village is a village, it still has what it needs.
It is said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.
However, because of the monster incident, no one in the village was doing business. Finally, they found out that the villagers were all in the ancestral hall, so Simu brought Lin Mo to the hall.
Simu has been driving corpses for many years, and he also knows the village chief of Lijia Village. After all, when you are away from home, one more friend means one more way forward.
So without waiting for the old village chief to come out, Simu came in on his own.
“Master Simu, it’s really you. That’s great. Our Lijia Village is finally saved.” When the old village chief saw that it was Simu, he hurriedly went up to him and said happily.
This Simu can be considered an old acquaintance. The old village chief also knows his abilities. He is an authentic Maoshan disciple and his strength is many times stronger than those of them.
Gao De and Zhang Wen also came over and greeted Simu.
Seeing such enthusiastic people, Simu couldn’t help but said quickly: “Old Village Chief, don’t be so polite, let’s sit down and talk slowly. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse.”
“Okay, let’s sit down and talk.” Upon hearing this, the old village chief also agreed, then pulled Simu into the ancestral hall, and at the same time did not forget to ask the villagers who came in to inform the villagers to bring some food.
Afterwards, several people sat in the ancestral hall and talked about what happened today.
Lin Mo’s small figure was naturally ignored by them. After all, this was a matter of life and death for Lijia Village, and they had no time to pay attention to Lin Mo.
In their opinion, Lin Mo might be Simu’s disciple.
Lin Mo didn’t pay any attention to them. He looked around the entire ancestral hall. He felt that this ancestral hall had a very comfortable power that made him feel happy both physically and mentally.
This made Lin Mo very curious why this ancestral hall had the power that made him feel comfortable.
Thinking of this, a purple light flashed in Lin Mo’s eyes, and suddenly the world he saw was different.
I saw a strange scene reflected in his deep eyes – the entire ancestral hall was shrouded in a thin layer of golden mist!
This layer of golden mist is like a dream, real and unreal, adding a touch of mystery to the originally solemn and dignified ancestral hall.
The most eye-catching area is the area with the highest concentration of golden mist, where many tablets are enshrined. These tablets are neatly arranged, like rows of silent guards, guarding the family’s history and glory. Above the tablets, a huge golden cloud floats leisurely, its shape changing unpredictably.
This golden cloud emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire ancestral hall. The golden light fell on the ground, the walls, and even on the faces of Gao De and others, making everyone look as if they were covered in a sacred coat.
Standing in this golden light, Gao De and others couldn’t help but feel awe in their hearts, as if they could feel the protection and blessings of their ancestors.
Of course, only Lin Mo could see these, or Simu could also see them, but because he didn’t open his Dharma Eyes, Simu couldn’t see them either.
This surprised Lin Mo very much. What kind of power was this? After looking at it for a long time, Lin Mo couldn’t see anything and could only look away.
The waters of this world are too deep, so we better wait and see.
Lin Mo stroked his chin with his small hand, thinking secretly. At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a big gun held by a burly man, and Lin Mo immediately became interested.
Because of the big gun, it was also covered with a thick golden mist.
What Lin Mo didn’t know was that when he was observing the spear, Gao De also felt a gaze staring at him, and Gao De unconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze.
He was shocked when he saw this, because in his eyes, the little boy was like an abyss that swallowed up everything, as if swallowing up all the light.
After observing for a while, Lin Mo’s eyes returned to normal. He picked up the fruit beside him and started eating leisurely.
This was sent by the villager just now.
Listening to the old village chief’s words, Lin Mo felt like he was listening to a story. There were monsters to kill, so how could he be missing?
What Lin Mo didn’t know was that when he used the ghost power just now, Gao De was scared so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. When Lin Mo withdrew the ghost power, Gao De also woke up.
“Gaode, what’s wrong with you?” Zhang Wen, who was listening to the conversation between the old village chief and Simu, suddenly noticed that Gaode was acting strangely. He patted his shoulder and asked in a low voice.
Looking at his good friend, who was sweating profusely, Zhang Wen was very curious.
“Ah, nothing happened.” Gao De woke up immediately after being patted by Zhang Wen. He then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice.
Then Gao De took a deep look at Lin Mo who was eating fruit frantically, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Lin Mo seemed to feel someone’s eyes on him. He looked up and saw a big man with a gun looking at him.
Seeing this, Lin Mo gave him a bright smile, like an innocent child.
Seeing this, Gao De also forced a stiff smile, then Gao De withdrew his gaze.
As time passed, half an hour later, Simu and the old village chief finished talking about everything.
“Old village chief, I will act with your guard team tonight.” Simu took a sip of warm tea and spoke.
From the old village chief’s words, Simu also knew the whole story. There would be a lot of monsters this time, so it would be good to have a group of young and strong people to help.
After all, two fists are no match for four hands. How many hands are there this time? Oh no, how many claws are there?
However, Simu glanced at Lin Mo who was eating fruit next to him. Although this little guy was just a newly awakened Master, his strength was not weak.
The strange ghost he saw last night should be Lin Mo’s guardian spirit. It is quite powerful, and there must be more than one of them.
There are at least five, or maybe more.
This is the charm of the extraordinary master. As long as he awakens, he can reach heaven in one step. He is more powerful than him, a Taoist who has practiced for more than 20 years.
Lin Mo seemed to sense Simu’s gaze. He stopped chewing the apple, raised his head and saw Simu’s gaze. He muttered, “Simu, are you up to something bad again?”
Because there was something in his mouth, Lin Mo’s words were a little wrong, but when he swallowed the apple in his mouth, his pronunciation became normal.
“Hehe, Lin Mo, you ate the old village chief’s fruit, so you can’t refuse to help him.” Simu said with a smile without any nonsense.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely join in the fun of such an interesting event.” Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily.
After all, this is a monster that came to the door, and it is not very strong, otherwise there would be no need to intimidate these villagers. It could just break into the village and swallow these villagers.
Moreover, these monsters were numerous and weak. Aren’t these monsters sent to his door? He would be a fool not to go.
When the old village chief and the other two heard the conversation between Simu and Lin Mo, they were all confused. Isn’t this kid Simu’s apprentice?
“Master Simu, isn’t this your disciple?”
Hearing the old village chief’s question, Simu smiled helplessly and said, “If only I had this blessing, this little guy would not want to worship me as his master.”
When saying this, Simu looked at Lin Mo with resentment.
“Ah… Simu, if you keep looking at me like that, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Lin Mo got goosebumps at Simu’s resentful look. He raised his little fist and said unhappily.
If it was a beautiful woman, it would be fine, but for a grown man, and an old man at that, he couldn’t stand it.
When Gao De heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he thought secretly in his heart, since he is not Simu’s disciple, then what happened to his power just now?
Could it be???
With some guesses, Gao De became excited, and his eyes became warm when he looked at Lin Mo.
Chapter 9: Dark and Windy! (Old Version)
Lin Mo felt Gao De’s passionate gaze, which made him shudder. He thought secretly in his heart that the big guy would not have any special hobbies.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo got goosebumps.
After explaining some things to the old village chief, Simu took Lin Mo away from the ancestral hall.
“Simu, what do you think of the strength of the monsters tonight? Are they strong?” The two of them were walking on the country road. Lin Mo looked at the houses on both sides and asked.
Lin Mo did this just in case. If the monsters were too strong, he would have to make other plans.
“Don’t worry, I have another ultimate move to make sure you’re safe.” Simu seemed to see what Lin Mo was thinking and said with a smile.
Although Lin Mo’s idea was a bit cowardly, he also understood Lin Mo. After all, Lin Mo was only a ten-year-old child.
Even some adults will retreat when faced with danger.
And sometimes, retreating can help you live longer.
When Lin Mo heard Simu’s words, he remembered Simu’s amazing fighting skills in the movie and didn’t ask any more questions.
After all, even the royal zombie that had become a spirit was beaten like a dog by Simu after he was summoned as a god. If Simu hadn’t been too cocky at the end, he wouldn’t have been in such a miserable state.
“Huh!?” Suddenly, Lin Mo saw two energetic teenagers of about seventeen or eighteen years old walking past them.
Lin Mo looked at the two people and felt that they looked familiar, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember who they were.
The two young men also looked at Lin Mo and Simu curiously, but they just glanced at them and quickly walked towards the ancestral hall.
“What? Do you know them?” Simu saw Lin Mo staring at the two teenagers and asked.
“I don’t know him.” Lin Mo shook his head, and then left quickly with Simu. No matter what, they would deal with the monster tonight.
At the same time, the old village chief and Zhang Wen, who were extremely excited in the ancestral hall, told the two what he had just discovered.
After hearing Gao De’s words, the old village chief and Zhang Wen also showed excitement on their faces. The old village chief grabbed Gao De’s hand and excitedly confirmed again: “Gaode, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? This concerns the future of our Lijia Village.”
“Old village chief, I swear on my Gao family ancestors that I am definitely not wrong.” Upon seeing this, Gao De raised three fingers and swore.
“Then this is an opportunity for our Lijia Village. We must seize it. According to what Taoist Simu just said, the young man was just traveling with him, and judging by the young man’s clothes, he is not the son of a rich man.”
“If he is really an extraordinary master, we in Li Village will ask him to stay. We in Li Village can serve him as our master and become his retainers.”
The old village chief walked back and forth in the ancestral hall, muttering to himself, becoming more and more excited.
Gao De was the same, and his expression was also a little excited.
Zhang Wen was much calmer than the other two. He stroked his chin, looked at the excited old village chief and his good brother Gao De, and said, “Let’s talk about this matter after tonight. By then we will know whether the child is a transcendent master or not.”
“Also, don’t have too much hope. Even if that child is an extraordinary master, he may not stay in our Li Village.”
The old village chief and Gao De calmed down after hearing this. They almost forgot about these things. Although Lijia Village is a big village with a population of more than 5,000, it is just one village.
He is truly an extraordinary Master, he may not stay.
Seeing the old village chief and Gao De’s expressions, Zhang Wen was about to say a few words of comfort when Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan walked in.
The two men saw the complicated expressions of the three elders, and they looked at each other. Zhang Rishan was the first to speak: “Old village chief, father, uncle Gao, we have arranged everything.”
“Well, you guys be careful tonight.” The old village chief looked at the two most outstanding young men in the village, nodded and gave them a reminder.
Zhang Rishan and Gao Jin nodded seriously.
…………
In the evening, the setting sun fell towards the horizon as quickly as a ripe orange, as if being pulled hard by an invisible giant hand.
The sunset in the sky is like a colorful painting, but it is also disappearing rapidly like a performance that is about to end. At the same time, a cold moon rises slowly from the distant horizon, like a shy girl, quietly poking her head out.
Strands of clear moonlight poured down like mercury, covering the earth with a layer of silver gauze. The moonlight seemed to be slightly cool, making people shiver.
Autumn in the south is always like this, it gets dark very early. It is only just past seven in the evening, but the sky has already become completely dark, as if it were covered with thick ink.
In this vast and silent land, there is an open platform standing abruptly.
On this platform, quietly placed two boys and girls who looked to be only about seven or eight years old. Their small bodies seemed so fragile and helpless, like lonely angels abandoned in this dark world.
In a jungle, more than 20 people were half-crouching in the bushes. Simu and Lin Mo also squatted together, staring at the boy and girl on the platform. Lin Mo whispered softly, “Simu, are you sure your magic can deceive those monsters?”
“Don’t worry. My magic can hide even a powerful monster from the world.” Upon hearing this, Simu responded confidently.
“That’s good, but don’t let anything go wrong at the critical moment.” Lin Mo saw this and continued.
Then Lin Mo said no more and just waited quietly.
In the bushes on the other side, Gao Jin and Gao De were also half-crouching there. Gao De tightly grasped the steel spear in his hand, his eyes fixed on the platform.
This time, the members of their guard were divided into two teams, one led by the father and son, and the other led by Simu.
The two teams stood there like statues, motionless and silent. Their figures seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
In the sky, the originally clear and bright moonlight was completely blocked by a thick dark cloud. This dark cloud was like a huge black curtain, covering the entire sky tightly and making the earth fall into darkness in an instant.
As time passed, the hands quietly pointed to ten o’clock in the evening. At this moment, the moon had disappeared from the sky, and only a few stars were left, shining weakly and lonely.
The light from these stars was extremely dim and could not illuminate this huge mountain range at all. As a result, the entire mountain seemed to have suddenly fallen into a bottomless and boundless dark abyss.
In the mountains and forests, the sound of cicadas rises and falls continuously, as if they are telling the story of the night in their own unique way.
However, amidst the endless chirping of cicadas, one or two shrill and sharp cries of night owls would occasionally be heard, piercing the night sky and reaching people’s hearts.
This sound echoed in the silent night, making people feel creepy and fearful and terrified.
A breeze blew gently, and the branches and leaves in the woods swayed. The branches and leaves swaying in the wind cast strange shadows in the darkness, sometimes lengthening, sometimes shortening, and sometimes twisting and deforming, as if a group of demons with bared fangs were dancing with their claws and fangs.
And in the endless darkness around them, there seemed to be some kind of terrifying monster lurking there. They were silently watching the two teams, waiting for the best opportunity, ready to rush out suddenly, open their bloody mouths, and ruthlessly devour all the life in front of them.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!” At this moment, strong winds blew by, making the leaves of the big trees rustle. At the same time, gusts of white mist spread towards the platform.
“Da da da!! Da da da!!” In the white fog, there were black shadows one meter high. The black shadows looked like a big rat standing up.
“Simu, could that be a rat spirit?” Lin Mo asked in a low voice, looking at the black shadows.
The twenty or so guards behind Lin Mo and Simu were a little agitated when they saw the black shadows, but when they thought of their families, they gritted their teeth and calmed down.
Simu made a hand seal and then wiped it in front of his eyes. A faint golden light flashed in his glasses and was immediately reflected in Simu’s eyes. Those black shadows were yellow weasels.
“It’s actually a group of weasels.” Simu said in surprise.
“A weasel? When are we going to take action against Four Eyes?” Lin Mo asked after hearing that.
He knew about the weasel, which was a very mythical creature in folk legends.
A common legend is that weasels have some mysterious power, and can even confuse people. For example, there is a legend that weasels can “ask for titles”, that is, weasels that have cultivated to a certain level will stand up like humans and ask passers-by: “Do you think I look like a human?”
If the answer is that it looks like a human, then the request for a title is successful, and the weasel will gain greater power; if the answer is that it does not look like a human, the weasel’s power will be greatly reduced, and it will also hate the person who gave the answer.
In addition, there are legends that weasels can possess people and cause them to behave abnormally. Most of these legends are related to the weasel’s scent glands. When it is frightened, the weasel sprays out a strong smell that is irritating to people and may even produce hallucinations.
But in this world, these are just legends.
But become real.
Various information about the weasel emerged in Lin Mo’s mind, and at the same time, Simu’s voice also came into his ears.
“Wait a minute, the mastermind hasn’t come out yet, wait a little longer.”
After hearing this, Lin Mo said nothing more.
On the other side, Gao De and his son, Gao Jin stared at the platform below with sharp eyes and whispered: “Father, when are we going to start?”
“Wait.” Goder shook his head and spoke.
(New book released, begging for your comments!!!)
Chapter 10 Two-tailed Fox Demon (Old Version)
Buzz! …In an instant, the entire space seemed to be shrouded in an extremely gloomy and cold atmosphere.
At this moment, a yin energy that was even stronger, creepy, and icy cold than before surged in like a tide, quickly spreading to every corner.
This evil spirit was like a substance, carrying with it an endless sense of chill and oppression.
The guards felt a chill running up from their feet, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily. Some even started to chatter their teeth, and their faces turned pale.
In this cold and gloomy air, a white figure slowly emerged. She was like a white lotus blooming in the dark night, extraordinary and otherworldly, and like a fairy from the sky floating down to the mortal world, graceful and agile.
She was wearing a robe as white as snow. The wide robe fluttered in the wind, but it still couldn’t completely conceal her plump and graceful figure.
She was tall and slender, with a waist that looked like it would break if bent lightly, and her round, perky buttocks and plump, towering breasts fully displayed the feminine softness and sexiness.
Her figure is light and graceful, and every step she takes is like walking on clouds, like a dream, which makes people fall in love with her.
Lin Mo was a little confused when he saw this scene. The human form transformed by the weasel was so beautiful. He originally thought it was an ugly old woman or a ferocious old man.
I just didn’t expect that she was such a beautiful woman.
“Hiss…” Lin Mo was surprised, while Simu took a breath of cold air and said in a voice of disbelief: “It turned out to be a great demon in the Guiyuan realm. We are too lucky.”
You should know that the levels of demon cultivation are: Foundation Establishment: The basic stage of demon cultivation, similar to human beginners, who need to master basic cultivation methods and techniques.
Awakening the Spirit: The demon cultivator begins to possess spirituality and is able to sense things in the outside world. This stage requires the demon cultivator to improve his spirituality through meditation and observation of nature.
Qi circulation: Demon cultivators begin to cultivate internal Qi, increasing their strength through specific breathing techniques and physical exercises.
Return to Origin: The demon cultivator’s internal energy begins to condense and form Yuanli. This stage requires continuous practice and accumulation.
Qi Condensation: The demon cultivator’s internal Qi is further condensed to form substantial vital energy. This stage requires a deeper understanding and mastery of the use of vital energy.
Solid: The demon cultivator’s vital energy solidifies to form a physical vital energy ball. This stage requires continuous practice and training to consolidate the vital energy ball.
Fusion: The demon cultivator’s vital energy is completely integrated with the body, reaching a new realm. This stage requires the demon cultivator to achieve a high degree of unity in body and mind.
Heartbeat: The demon cultivator’s state of mind reaches a new height, and the control over his vital energy becomes more precise. At this stage, he needs to improve his state of mind through meditation and inner cultivation.
Fetal breathing: The demon cultivator’s breathing and vital energy are completely synchronized, entering a higher realm. This stage requires long-term practice and comprehension to achieve.
In the world of cultivation, whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or demonism, etc., they are all ranked according to these nine realms.
The Masters have different realm rankings. The Master’s realm is divided into primary, intermediate, advanced, elite, lord level…
It is divided into three small realms: early, middle and late stages.
But now Simu is only a Taoist priest in the Qigong stage and is no match for this big monster.
When Lin Mo heard Simu’s words, he knew what he meant. The general meaning was that he was no match for the big monster, so he should run away.
When Lin Mo thought of this, his ink-black eyes rolled around.
“Hmph! Come out everyone, don’t force me to take action, or I will massacre your entire village.” At this moment, the woman standing on the platform stretched out her hands, and then the boy and girl were sucked directly into her hands.
“Tear it up!” Then, the woman mobilized the evil spirit in her hands, and the boy and girl turned into pieces of paper and floated in the air.
It turned out that the boy and girl just now were made by Simu using paper figures to replace real people.
“Simu, you are too unreliable. Didn’t you say that even big monsters can’t see through you? What’s going on now?” Seeing this, Lin Mo, who was in the bushes, looked at Simu with black lines on his forehead. Simu was indeed so unreliable.
If that, half a bowl of clear water reflects the universe,
A talisman to summon ghosts and gods.
Stepping on the Yin-Yang Bagua steps,
Holding a wooden sword, he slayed the evil spirits.
Shedding tears and pouring wine on the heroic land,
The spirit of Tao will last forever in heaven, earth and mankind.
The red string and glutinous rice are still here today,
No longer see Lin Zhengying!
A poem came to his mind, the Taoist Lin Fengjiao, or Uncle Jiu. It would be reliable if Uncle Jiu was there, unlike Simu, the scumbag.
However, Simu had no idea what Lin Mo was thinking. When he heard Lin Mo’s complaints, his face turned red. He had indeed said that just now.
But he did not expect that it was actually a big monster, otherwise he would not have boasted so much.
“Lin Mo, now it all depends on you. Help me hold on for three minutes.”
Thinking of this, Si Mu looked at Lin Mo seriously and said solemnly, it’s too late to say anything now, the big monster has also discovered them, and they can’t run away even if they want to.
Although Simu was not a gentleman, he still kept Maoshan’s teachings in mind.
The first commandment of Maoshan is that good and evil are opposed and fight each other for life!
So he would not escape alone. If he escaped alone, his Taoist heart would be broken and the guardian spirit of Maoshan would leave him.
“What!? Simu, you are kidding, I am no match for that big monster.” Lin Mo said a little confused after hearing Simu’s words. He is only a junior master now. Although the master’s strength can fight across levels, he can’t cross that many levels.
“Lin Mo, now it’s up to you to save the people in this village.”
“This…” Lin Mo looked at Simu’s pleading expression and thought of those innocent and cute children. On his childish face, he sighed like an adult.
“I really owe you guys.”
He still couldn’t bear to see the village flooded with blood. After all, he was also the successor of the new era.
“Ha, I knew that you, Lin Mo, are a good person.” Simu got the answer, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with relief.
He was right about the person. Although Lin Mo, this little guy, is a little selfish, he will still stand up when it is time.
Being given a nice guy card by Simu, Lin Mo rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “Don’t mess around again, or I’ll really die in front of you.”
Although I said so much, the time that passed was not long, only one minute.
“Garritz, you’d better seize the opportunity and launch a sneak attack later.” Lin Mo’s mind moved, and the Overlord Gastly emerged from his shadow.
As the Overlord Gastly appeared, the air temperature around him dropped by several degrees. At the same time, the guards of Li Village were also frightened and they took a step back unconsciously.
“Hmm…” Gastly shook his huge head, and then turned into a shadow again, hiding his body.
“Huh…” Immediately, a black mist as dark as ink spread around Lin Mo’s body. Following that, he kicked his short legs hard, leaving behind several afterimages as he ran straight towards the platform.
“Why don’t you go over and help? What are you looking at?” Simu saw Lin Mo taking action and said unhappily to the twenty or so dazed young guards.
These people really have no sense at all.
After hearing what Simu said, the twenty or so young men reacted and rushed out with their weapons.
On the other side, when Gao De and his son saw Lin Mo, their pupils shrank sharply, and Gao Jin’s originally cold face showed an expression of astonishment.
“Father, what is that?”
“Jin’er, this will be an opportunity for our Lijia Village. Let’s go down quickly.” Gao De did not respond to his son. Holding the Baji spear, he rushed down like a tiger descending from the mountain.
When Gao Jin heard his father’s words, he followed with weapons in hand, and the other young men followed closely behind.
These young guards were all martial artists with agile skills, and they quickly caught up with Gao De and his son.
At this time, when the woman in white saw Lin Mo, she was stunned at first. She didn’t expect that a child would run out. But then, the woman in white said in surprise.
“Hahaha!! God is helping me! There is actually a Master here! As long as I swallow you, my strength will be further improved!”
“Swallow me? That depends on whether you have such a big appetite.” Lin Mo sneered when he heard that.
“Buzz!” As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, a jet-black mist spread from his body. Soon, the black mist was like a poisonous python, constantly winding around Lin Mo.
(I hope everyone will support me. I will continue to work hard on my writing. Only when I have achievements can I have the motivation to write.)
Chapter 11: Poison Dragon!!! (Old Version)
Lin Mo took the initiative and didn’t care whether he could hurt the woman in white or not.
Purple light surged from the body into his eyes, and the black and white pupils disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a pair of eyes flashing with mysterious purple light.
Wisps of purple mist like a veil drifted away from the corners of his eyes. The scene was extraordinary and magical, as if the master who ruled the world from the depths of darkness appeared in the world, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Now in Lin Mo’s eyes, this darkness is as bright as day.
“Shadow Ball!!”
Immediately, Lin Mo shouted loudly. Nine shadow balls as big as blue balls suddenly flew out from the inky black fog.
These shadow balls flashed with a faint purple light, and like arrows shot from a bow, they shot straight towards the woman in white.
The woman in white seemed to be frightened and stood there motionless, but this was simply impossible. A look of disdain flashed in her cold eyes.
If it was an intermediate master, she would never do this, but she was just a junior master, she was not worth her avoidance.
But this is exactly what Lin Mo was thinking. His Ghostlies have two attributes, and the poison among them is his killer move.
“Boom! Rumble!” Accompanied by a thunderous sound, the whole earth began to tremble. There was only a shocking explosion, and the ground suddenly exploded as if it was torn apart by a huge monster with sharp claws.
In a flash, a bottomless pit appeared in front of people. The pit was like a hideous mouth, ready to swallow everything around it.
At the same time, shocking cracks spread like spider webs in all directions at a very fast speed. These cracks became more and more numerous and denser, and soon covered the entire ground, making people feel terrified.
At this moment, a strong wave suddenly surged in the originally calm space, and the ghost and poison elemental energy surged out from the deep pit like an enraged beast.
This energy was extremely violent and ferocious, like a raging tide, pouring down all over the sky.
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be stained with thick ink and suddenly became pitch black.
The powerful energy continuously impacted the ground, and wherever it went, the ground was severely corroded. The originally flat land became bumpy and uneven in an instant, as if it had experienced a doomsday catastrophe.
“Zizi!” A series of creepy sounds were heard continuously. The sound was like countless poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues, making people feel cold all over.
Then, an extremely powerful gust of air rushed out like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. It was unstoppable, and wherever it passed, gravel was swept into it, roaring along with the gust of air.
The strong wind mixed with sand and dust was flying all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the world suddenly fell into chaos.
“Gars! Keep bombing!” Lin Mo looked at the woman in white covered in soot, who did not move, and continued to give orders.
Regardless of whether he could hurt the woman in white, Lin Mo’s main purpose was to delay time. As long as he delayed more than three minutes, he would be dead.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!” As Lin Mo gave the order, nine Gastlys emerged from the black fog and fired shadow balls continuously like mobile turrets.
The dozens of half-human-high weasels had already hidden when the shadow ball was blasted out. Seeing their master being bombarded continuously, they bared their sharp teeth at Lin Mo.
“Squeak!! Squeak!!”
Immediately afterwards, a group of weasels rushed towards Lin Mo like a tide. Their sharp claws and cold teeth seemed to tear Lin Mo into pieces.
Lin Mo frowned when he saw all this and was about to take action. He didn’t take them seriously as they were just some intelligent weasels, but now the main concern was the big monster.
Now that he was bombarded like this, the big monster didn’t make any movement. Lin Mo was afraid that the big monster would suddenly attack him, and he wouldn’t be able to react in time, which would be terrible.
“roar!”
However, seeing the weasel, which was half a man’s height, rushing towards him with its bloody mouth, it seemed as if it was going to bite off Lin Mo’s neck in the next moment.
The surging fishy smell made Lin Mo frown. Just as he was about to take action, the black mist surrounding him began to surge violently.
Just at this moment, two figures like gusts of wind appeared in front of Lin Mo. They were Gao De and Gao Jin.
Gao De and Gao Jin were extremely brave, waving their spears tightly. The steel spears collided with their sharp claws, making a “clang” sound. In an instant, sparks flew out between the flashes of lightning.
At this time, many weasels had also pounced over.
Gao Jin whipped a weasel away, then with the help of the power of the spear, he pounded it hard on the ground, used the force to stand up and kick out.
Another weasel was kicked in the head by him.
The power contained in this kick was quite great. The weasel rolled on the ground and rolled five or six meters away.
It stood up suddenly, shaking its head, and seemed a little dizzy.
The next second, a huge gun came towards it with great force.
The weasel was frightened and jumped to the side.
“boom!”
The gun smashed to the ground, dirt flew up, and a small hole was left on the ground.
Gao De put away his gun and swept it across, heading straight for the pack of weasels. With such momentum, he was like a god of war descending to earth.
At the same time, other young men from the guard team also joined the battle. For a moment, with Lin Mo as the center, Gao De and others kept more than fifty weasels out.
“Brother Lin, leave these weasels to us, you just focus on dealing with that woman.” Gao De stabbed a weasel, swung the gun in his hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to speak loudly.
Lin Mo looked at all this with surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that these villagers were so powerful. Their strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
The two men who came out first were countless times stronger. Their spears swung loudly and each strike was so powerful that holes were made on the ground.
To be honest, if Lin Mo didn’t use the ghost element and poison element, he would not be able to defeat the two of them.
Although his body has been strengthened, he is not a professional physical practitioner after all.
“Little devil! Have you bombarded enough?”
At this moment, a voice with a hint of anger reached Lin Mo’s ears, which startled Lin Mo. Just as he was about to make a move, the white man in white seemed to teleport and appeared directly in front of Lin Mo.
There was a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes, and his originally slender and delicate hands had now turned into sharp claws, reaching straight towards Lin Mo’s chest.
“Whoosh!! Whoosh!” The sharp claws flashed with cold light, cutting through the air with a whistling sound, and in the blink of an eye it was approaching Lin Mo’s chest.
Lin Mo’s pupils suddenly shrank, and the pair of hands surrounded by black air involuntarily protected his chest.
Immediately, Lin Mo felt as if he was hit hard by a reckless, out-of-control car.
With a loud bang, Lin Mo flew backwards like a wild horse. At the same time, Lin Mo spurted out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt as if all the bones in his body were broken and he was in great pain. If his hands were protected by the black energy, they would have been shattered long ago.
“Hehehe!! Hehehe!” When the Gastlys saw their master being beaten, they blocked the woman in white and blasted shadow balls at her.
But these attacks had no effect on the woman in white. She sneered and waved her claws, and several shadow balls were directly thrown away.
However, the woman in white was not without any injuries. The explosion of the ghost element had no effect on her, but the poison elements still had a certain effect.
The white clothes were corroded with holes.
“Garsis!! Immobilization spell!” At the same time, Lin Mo’s hoarse voice was heard, and the nine eyes of the nine Gastlys suddenly glowed purple.
The woman in white, who was about to make other moves, suddenly stopped. At the same time, Lin Mo, who had just flown backwards, was surrounded by black air.
“Poison Dragon!!!” Lin Mo didn’t waste any words and shouted loudly. The ink-like venom on his body dripped onto the ground, corroding tiny holes.
Immediately afterwards, a poisonous dragon formed by venom rushed towards the woman in white with its fangs and claws.
This frightened the woman in white. The demonic energy in her body surged wildly, trying to break free from control. Suddenly, the woman in white was happy because she could move.
But at this moment, a cold voice came, “Overlord Gastly!!! Immobilization Technique!!”
“Buzz!!” Suddenly, an even more terrifying binding force was added to the body of the woman in white, which shocked the woman. She saw the overlord Gastly appear directly, with a pair of eyes shining purple.
“Damn it!!” The face of the woman in white was ferocious, and her pretty face was so ferocious that she looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
“Roar!!!” The poisonous dragon with horrible venom corroded holes wherever it passed, and then swallowed the woman in white in one gulp.
Chapter 12: Inviting the Gods to Possess You (Old Version)
“Everyone! Get out of the way quickly!” Gao De whipped a weasel away, and when he saw the venom splashing out and corroding holes on the ground, Gao De exclaimed in shock as he looked at the venom splashing towards them.
At the same time, he did not forget to pull the young man next to him and took a few steps back. When the two of them just stepped back, a drop of black and purple venom directly corroded a fist-sized hole where the young man had been.
The other young men in the escort team also quickly stepped back, fearing that the horrible venom would hurt them.
And those weasels were also killed by them, some were injured and some were dead.
Soon everyone withdrew from the place where the venom was splashing. Gao Jin came to his father with blood all over his body and said solemnly: “Dad, what should we do next?”
At the same time, he looked at the place where Lin Mo was with his sharp eyes, full of envy and desire. If he could also possess such power, then their Lijia Village would not have suffered so many casualties.
There were more than fifty young and strong people just now, but now there are only about twenty left, more than a dozen are injured, and more than a dozen are dead.
“Jin’er, take the injured villagers back to the village for treatment first. I’ll watch here.” Gao De looked around and gave the order.
“Well, Dad, how about I stay here and you take the injured people back.” Gao Jin’s cold eyes were a little tangled, and he spoke immediately.
“Take people back quickly!” Gao De glared at Gao Jin and said coldly.
Gao Jin looked deeply in the direction of Lin Mo, then quickly left with the injured person.
Not to mention what happened on Gaode’s side, at this time on Lin Mo’s side, the eyes of the ten Gastlys were shining purple, but as time passed, the purple light became dimmer and dimmer, and a violent demonic power kept flowing out wrapped in venom.
Lin Mo watched all this and was secretly shocked. He didn’t expect that his best effort didn’t cause her much harm.
“Boom boom boom!” At the same time, the sounds of heavy footsteps reached his ears. Lin Mo turned his head and saw Simu running towards him quickly like a little King Kong.
This made Lin Mo breathe a sigh of relief. This scumbag finally came.
“Simu, I leave it to you. I don’t have the strength to help you.” Lin Mo said, and hurried away from here.
Simu nodded at Lin Mo, and then rushed towards the controlled woman in white like a mountain.
“Bang!”
With a deafening thud, the woman in white was suddenly hit by a cannonball and was knocked flying in an instant!
At the same moment, the Overlord Gastly led his nine younger brothers and quickly returned to Lin Mo’s side, guarding Lin Mo closely.
“Damn Taoist priest! Are you looking for death?!” The woman in white who was knocked away roared and her body quickly turned into a beast.
“Damn! It’s actually a vixen!” Lin Mo saw from a distance that the fox had turned into a two-meter-tall fox with two long tails fluttering in the wind.
However, his ultimate move just now did not really leave the vixen without any harm. The corroded fur proved that his poisonous dragon also injured the vixen.
“Dang dang dang!!” Immediately afterwards, the Vajra Babi transformed by the four eyes collided wildly with the fox spirit transformed into a beast. The sounds like steel were deafening.
Sparks, sparks flying everywhere.
“Crack!!!” At the same time, the sound of breaking bones also reached the ears of Lin Mo, Gao De and others.
The two-meter-tall fox had one leg broken by Simu, which made the fox scream: “Ah!!”
At the same time, Simu was also slapped away by a claw.
Boom! Rumble!
He was hit extremely hard and fell straight down. With a loud bang, the ground exploded instantly and a deep pit appeared before his eyes.
The cracks seemed to have life, spreading around at an extremely fast speed, making crackling sounds as they spread, like the earth’s painful groans.
The dust was carried out by the powerful air wave, rolling up with countless gravel and sand.
The gravel and sand shot out rapidly in all directions. Among them, there was a stone that shot towards the direction where Lin Mo was like an arrow shot out of a bow.
Lin Mo didn’t even need to take action himself, a Gastly next to him blocked it directly.
“Huh!!” In an instant, Lin Mo saw a flash of white light before his eyes, and a huge fox suddenly appeared in front of him. Without thinking, Lin Mo suddenly lowered his thin body and narrowly avoided the bloody mouth of the cunning fox.
“Crack!” The sound of the sharp teeth biting into the air was clearly heard by Lin Mo. It can be imagined that if bitten by this scary guy, he would be torn in half in an instant.
“Damn! It’s indeed a fox, so cunning.” Lin Mo cursed inwardly. If he hadn’t dodged quickly, he would have been dead tonight.
But now is not the time to talk about this. The black gas and poisonous elements in Lin Mo’s hands surged and directly turned into sharp blades. Now he is under the belly of this big monster. It is his chance.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that for dogs, the abdomen is the biggest weakness, even for monsters, let alone a big monster that was half-crippled by Four Eyes.
Moreover, after Si Mu was slapped away, he didn’t make any movements. Perhaps he had reached his limit, so Lin Mo had to seize this rare opportunity.
“Open it for me!!!” The black energy in Lin Mo’s hand seemed to be powered by a rocket, and wrapped in a pitch-black sword, he stabbed it into the abdomen of the two foxes swiftly and fiercely.
“Woo Roar!!!” the two-tailed fox suddenly cried out in pain.
“Cut!!” Immediately afterwards, the sound of flesh being cut suddenly rang out in the darkness.
The abdomens of the two foxes were cut open, and their red and green internal organs fell out.
“Woo… plop…” In an instant, the two-tailed fox fell straight to the ground, followed by a faint and sad cry, and raised a cloud of dust on the ground.
The evil spirit in his body quickly dissipated.
“Cough cough cough… This blood stinks.” At this time, Lin Mo’s cough came from under the fox’s body, and then Lin Mo, covered in blood, crawled out from under it.
“Huff, huff, huff… This time it was really dangerous.” After crawling out, Lin Mo said breathlessly as he looked at the big fox that had no signs of life.
At the same time, he also noticed that the progress of Gastly’s nest was like riding a rocket, from 1% to 100%.
When it reached 100%, Lin Mo only felt a “click” sound in his brain, as if something was broken.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo felt a terrifying force gushing out from his body. The injuries on his body recovered quickly, and the inky black air quickly covered the area within a hundred meters.
The inky black gas formed a sphere, directly wrapping Lin Mo and the two-tailed fox inside.
The creepy black air, like a demon breaking free from its restraints, rolled out with the surging air waves, instantly rolling up a pile of rubble on the ground and a sky full of sand.
The overlord Gastly, with nine other Gastlys, guards the surroundings.
At this time, Simu, with the help of Gao De and others, came to a place not far from the black ball shape. Simu broke the defense with just one claw, and the summoning spell was also directly broken.
He was seriously injured, otherwise he would not have come to help.
“This, this is about to advance. It is true that there is great terror between life and death.” Simu looked at all this and sighed.
This was also the first time that Gao De had seen such a thing. Looking at the terrifying pressure, which was like an abyss, his body began to tremble unconsciously.
The same goes for several other young and strong men.
“Master, is there anything we need to do?” he asked in disbelief.
“No need, we just need to wait.” Simu waved his hands and shook his head.
Moreover, even if they wanted to help, they would be torn to pieces by the guardian spirits on the periphery before they even got close.
“Go back and call some people over to guard the periphery and don’t allow the villagers to disturb us.” Upon hearing this, Gao De immediately sent someone back to arrange for people to guard the place.
Afterwards, Simu sat cross-legged and began to heal his wounds in silence.
Gao De’s eyes were shining brightly, and I wonder what he was thinking?
Chapter 13: The Shock of the Villagers (Old Version)
At this time, in the ancestral hall of Lijia Village, the old village chief and Zhang Wen were walking back and forth restlessly.
The roar that came from time to time made the two even more nervous.
“May our ancestors bless us, may our ancestors bless us…” The old village chief bowed to the ancestral tablets, muttering to himself.
This matter concerns the life and death of their Lijia Village. It would be strange if he was not worried. If Lijia Village was destroyed, how would he face his ancestors when he passed away?
Zhang Wen was much more steady, but his face still looked solemn.
“Old village chief, old village chief, we won, we won.” But at this moment, an excited voice reached their ears, causing their bodies to tremble.
The old village chief and Zhang Wen ran out quickly. Even the old village chief, who was in his seventies, ran as fast as a young man.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, Zhang Rishan ran over quickly.
When Zhang Rishan saw the expressions on his father and the old village chief’s faces, he didn’t waste any words and told them everything that had just happened.
“Dad, old village chief, the monster was killed by the Taoist priest and his men.”
“Great, great, God really helps our Lijia Village.” The old village chief said excitedly after hearing Zhang Rishan’s words. His hands holding the crutch were shaking because he was holding too hard.
“By the way, let’s go and thank the Taoist priests. If it weren’t for them, our Lijia Village would have suffered heavy casualties this time.”
“Rishan, how many casualties have we had.”
“Dad, thirteen of our guards died and more than twenty were injured, some seriously, some slightly.”
The three of them talked as they walked towards the back of the mountain.
Half an hour later, Zhang Rishan and the other two arrived at the back mountain. Looking at the bumpy back mountain that looked like it had been devastated by artillery shells, Zhang Rishan and the other two were extremely shocked.
They didn’t expect that the battle here was so fierce. No wonder the roar could be heard in the ancestral hall.
What shocked them even more was the black ball that looked like an abyss and the ten Gastlys guarding the periphery. The Gastlys’ aura at this moment was many times stronger than before.
The body size has also increased, and the Overlord Gastly has reached one meter in height. The aura of the abyss seems to be able to devour everything.
“Village chief, Uncle Zhang, captain.” The guards guarding the periphery greeted Zhang Rishan and his two companions when they saw them.
“What is that?” Zhang Rishan looked at the huge, inky black sphere. The black gas was still surging, which made Zhang Rishan a little unbelievable, so he asked the young and strong guard on the side.
The young man who was being questioned shook his head and said, “Captain, I don’t know either. Why don’t you go find Uncle Gao and the others? They are there now.”
When the young man spoke, he pointed to a group of people not far away. They were Gao De, Simu, and Gao Jin.
Zhang Rishan and the other two looked at each other and then quickly walked towards Gao De and his companions.
“Old village chief.”
“Old village chief, Uncle Zhang.”
When Gao De and his son saw the old village chief and his two companions, they began to greet them.
The old village chief nodded, then looked at Simu who was sitting cross-legged. Just as he was about to ask something, Simu opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
“Master Simu, thank you so much this time.” Upon seeing this, the old village chief began to express his gratitude. To be honest, if it weren’t for Simu, they really didn’t know what would have happened to their Lijia Village.
Simu stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, smiled bitterly, and said, “In fact, the main contributor this time is Lin Mo. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid I would have ended up here this time.”
“I didn’t expect that the one targeting your village would be a big monster.”
“Big monster!!” The old village chief was shocked when he heard this. Although he was not an extraordinary person, he still knew some common sense. The horror of a big monster was so great that even if the whole village attacked it together, they would just be sending food to the enemy.
Fortunately, the people in Lijia Village were not destined to die. At this time, they met Simu and Lin Mo.
“Yes, it’s a big monster.” Simu nodded and said affirmatively. At the same time, his eyes looked at Heijiu, whose aura was becoming more and more terrifying, with envy flashing in his eyes.
This could be a blessing in disguise for Lin Mo. Once he’s promoted, he’ll be able to fight against the big monster.
The four eyes are very clear about the Master’s peculiarities.
“Master Simu, can you do us another favor in Lijia Village?” At this time, the old village chief looked at Simu with a firm expression and asked solemnly.
Just now, the old village chief had learned everything that had just happened from Gao De and Gao Jin, father and son. As long as Lin Mo, the master, stayed in their Lijia Village, they would not have to be afraid of those monsters and demons.
With a master guarding here, some weak demons and monsters dare not come here.
Simu withdrew his gaze from Lin Mo and looked at the expressions of the old village chief and the three men of Gao De. A gleam of light flashed in Simu’s eyes.
With Simu’s intelligence, how could he not know what the old village chief and his people were planning? A wild extraordinary master would be a great help to some towns that had no extraordinary people stationed there.
If he were the village chief of Lijia Village, he would also try his best to keep Lin Mo.
At the same time, Simu started thinking. Lijia Village was a hundred miles away from his Taoist temple. If Lin Mo really stayed here, he could come to Lin Mo for help if anything happened.
If Lin Mo ran to other places, if something really happened, where would he find such a powerful helper?
The most important thing is that if Lin Mo stays here, there will also be a guardian for the nearby village.
Thinking of this, Simu said, “Old Village Chief, I can mention this matter, but whether Lin Mo wants to stay here is not something I can decide.”
There are some things that Simu will not say for sure. After all, he doesn’t know what Lin Mo thinks.
When the old village chief heard this, he showed gratitude and said, “Master Simu, just your words are enough. Leave the rest to us. Whether it succeeds or not, we will reward you handsomely.”
“No need, it’s just a piece of cake.” Upon hearing this, Simu waved his hands repeatedly.
“No, this is a must. No matter what, Taoist priest, you have helped us this time. It has been a great help to us.” The old village chief said firmly. Apart from other things, if it weren’t for the four eyes of the monster, their Lijia Village would have been in danger.
Seeing this, Simu did not refuse anymore. After all, Lijia Village was not poor, and he would not feel uncomfortable accepting some reward. If it were some poor family, Simu would not accept it.
“Zhang Wen, Gao De, go back and take care of the funeral of the sacrificed villagers. Give each family a hundred dollars, and let the doctors treat the injured.”
After chatting with Simu, the old village chief looked at Gao De and Zhang Wen and gave instructions.
Upon hearing this, Gao De and Zhang Wen told their sons and went downstairs to deal with the aftermath of the young man who had just died.
Zhang Rishan and Gao Jin looked in the direction of Lin Mo with shining eyes. They also wanted to possess that kind of power.
Although they are martial artists, their speed and strength are beyond ordinary people, but without guardian spirits, they will never be able to break through to the level of extraordinary people.
Just like them, they have already reached the limit of human beings, but no matter how hard they practice, they cannot cross that step.
If Lin Mo stayed in their Lijia Village this time, and if Lin Mo gave them a guardian spirit, they would also be able to achieve success in one step.
Both of them had no objection to being loyal to Lin Mo. After all, some people didn’t even have a way to be loyal.
This Lin Mo can be said to be a pie in the sky.
Time passed like flowing water. Unconsciously, the sky gradually brightened. The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone from the sky onto the earth.
Although the old village chief looked tired, there was still excitement in his eyes.
Simu was leaning against a big tree, half asleep.
Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan are young men, full of energy and with the same excited eyes as the old village chief.
Chapter 14 Lord (Old Version)
“Buzz!!!” At this moment, a burst of violent energy buzzed in the air, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted.
This cheered up Simu and the others, and they all stared in the direction where Lin Mo was.
In a flash, the black gas that had been surging suddenly exploded. In an instant, a vast and boundless force, like a surging tide, suddenly swept across the entire venue.
Looking at Lin Mo at this time, there was a purple light flashing in his eyes, and his clothes were rustling under the impact of the airflow, and streams of ink-black air flowed out from his body.
The black airflow spread forward like a dark cloud covering the sky. In an instant, the original light of the entire back mountain was obscured by the black airflow, and the surrounding environment suddenly became extremely dark.
“Whoosh…” A terrifying aftermath surged over and almost blew away everyone present.
“Old village chief, be careful.” Seeing that the old village chief was about to fall, Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan hurried forward to hold him steadily.
boom!
A purple-black poisonous python was scurrying around in a swirling black gas. Under the chilling pressure of the energy, the ground where Lin Mo was located instantly cracked and collapsed, and a gully suddenly appeared.
The clouds in the sky were also torn apart, and the clouds on both sides rolled upwards, just like a canyon spanning the sky.
At the same time, an even more terrifying aftermath swept around, raising dust wherever it passed.
“Oh no! Get down quickly!” When Simu saw this situation, he couldn’t help but exclaimed and urged the old village chief and the other three to get down quickly.
“Plop… plop…” In fact, there was no need for Simu to remind them. Zhang Rishan and Gao Jin hurriedly dragged the old village chief to lie on the ground.
“Swoosh!!! Boom!” Just when everyone just lay down, the hair-raising aftermath whizzed past their heads, and many big trees and rocks behind them were cut in half.
For a moment, dust was flying everywhere.
After the dust settled, a teasing voice reached the ears of Simu and others.
“Hey, Simu, please don’t give such a big gift.”
When Simu and the others heard the voice, they raised their heads and saw Lin Mo looking at them with a playful expression, and the Overlord Gastly was floating beside him.
The Overlord Gastly also showed a teasing expression to the few people.
“Lin Mo, you have made a breakthrough.” Simu did not care about Lin Mo’s teasing, but looked at Lin Mo with surprise, sensing the aura emanating from Lin Mo.
He was also happy for Lin Mo.
“That’s right. If I encounter a big monster again, I can grind it to death.” Lin Mo said with joy on his face. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, and black air as dark as ink emanated from his hand.
Sensing the ominous aura, his pupils shrank, and at the same time his perception was flashing danger signals frantically, which made him unconsciously take a step back.
Zhang Rishan, Gao Jin, and the old village chief also took a step back unconsciously.
Seeing this, Lin Mo chuckled, clenched his right hand, and the black air in his hand immediately dissipated.
“Hehehe…” When the Overlord Gastly saw the actions of Four Eyes and the others, he felt a little gloating.
Simu looked at the childish Lin Mo with some helplessness, but he didn’t say anything. After all, Lin Mo was only a ten-year-old boy, so it was normal for him to be childish.
When the old village chief saw this, his eyes sparkled. This kind of master was exactly what their Lijia Village needed.
“Little brother, thank you so much for last night. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened to our Lijia Village.”
Listening to the old village chief’s words, Lin Mo waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “No need to be like this, I also gained a lot this time.”
Although this incident was thrilling, he also gained a lot. His strength directly reached the intermediate master level, and he also got a panel.
This panel displays his own detailed information.
Name: Lin Mo
Realm: Intermediate Master
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Constitution: 50 (mortal limit 10) (Constitution represents strength and speed)
Special abilities: Ghost element, poison element
Guardian Spirit Lair: Intermediate Gastly Lair
Luck value: zero
Evolution value: zero
There is also a mall with various nests inside, including Digimon nests, Pokémon nests, Zanpakuto nests, etc…
Looking at the nests above, Lin Mo almost drooled. One of the Digimon nests, the Agumon nest, would be really cool if it evolved into Machine Tyrannosaurus or higher.
While Lin Mo was thinking, everyone had already returned to the ancestral hall of Lijia Village.
The old village chief asked people to prepare some food, and everyone sat down in the ancestral hall.
Lin Mo didn’t hesitate to pick up a fruit and started eating it, while also throwing one to Gastly.
The Overlord Gastly started eating with a “crunch, crunch” sound.
But suddenly Lin Mo stopped moving because there were pairs of eyes staring at him, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Simu seemed to sense Lin Mo’s mood and coughed twice: “Cough cough cough…”
Attracting everyone’s attention to him, Simu saw that everyone’s attention was on him, so he said to Lin Mo: “Lin Mo, I have something to tell you.”
“Hmm? Simu, what’s the matter? Just say it directly.” Lin Mo was a little surprised, then seemed to have thought of something and said thoughtfully.
Under the expectant gaze of the old village chief and others, Simu told them everything about the old village chiefs.
Lin Mo listened to Simu’s words and began to think.
Time passed slowly in Lin Mo’s silence and the anxiety of the old village chief and others.
Half an hour passed like this, and the ancestral hall was extremely quiet, as if even a small stone falling could be heard clearly.
“I can stay here, but the whole village has to revolve around me.” Just when the old village chief and the others were in despair, Lin Mo finally spoke.
As soon as Lin Mo said this, the old village chief and the others’ hearts, which were about to jump out of their chests, returned to their stomachs. Then, they were filled with joy and excitement.
“My lord, let me introduce to you the backbone of our village.” After the excitement, the old village chief began to introduce Gao De and others.
Lin Mo was a little confused by the word “Lord” from the old village chief. Why is there still such a title now? Although now is not considered modern, it can also be said to be the end of ancient times.
How come there is such a name? Even though it sounds nice to him.
Seeing Lin Mo’s expression, Simu immediately explained, “Calling you Lord means that from now on, the Li Village will be your retainers. You must not betray me for the rest of your life, or you will be killed.”
As if in response to Simu’s words, Gao De and others called Lin Mo “Lord”.
“BOOM!!”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky. The sound was like thunder, shaking the forest as if it had been greatly frightened. The branches and leaves trembled, as if a green ocean was surging with huge waves.
But outside, the sky was still clear and the sun was high in the sky. The scorching sunlight was still pouring down, baking the earth mercilessly.
Lin Mo looked at all this in amazement. Anything was possible. What a strange world. It seemed that this world was particularly loyal to its master.
“My lord, these are Gao De and Gao Jin. They are the father and son in charge of the village’s guard team.”
“And these are Zhang Wen and Zhang Rishan. They are in charge of the village’s finances, and they are also in charge of the usual caravans.”
When Lin Mo heard what the old village chief said, especially about Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan, he grumbled in his heart, wondering if it was really those two people.
Looking at Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan, who were 90% accurate, Lin Mo’s expression became even weirder.
Chapter 15 Zhang Rishan (Old Version)
A week has passed since Lin Mo agreed to stay in Lijia Village.
After resting for a day in Lijia Village, Simu left with his God.
After this week, Lin Mo also learned everything about Lijia Village. Under the management of the old village chief, Gao De and Zhang Wen, Lijia Village was in good order.
It is the most prosperous village within a hundred miles, and at least no one will go hungry.
There are twenty-three villages around, some big and some small, some with hundreds of people and some with only a thousand people.
At the same time, Lin Mo also discovered Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan, both of whom were brave and resourceful. Lin Mo was not sure about Gao Jin, but he was 90% sure about Zhang Rishan.
He is the adjutant Zhang in “Nine Gates”, Zhang Rishan.
Although I don’t know why Zhang Rishan came here, he is his subordinate now, so it has nothing to do with Zhang Qishan.
The reason why Gao Jin and Lin Mo were not sure was because the times were different, so Lin Mo was not sure.
But no matter what, with these two talents, Lin Mo is off to a good start.
At the same time, Lin Mo also knew where his luck came from. This luck was supplied by his forces. The more than 5,000 people in Lijia Village supplied him with 500 luck points every day.
The purpose of luck value is to purchase various nests, but the cheapest nest costs 100,000 luck points.
So Lin Mo could only save it slowly.
Lin Mo’s current luck value is three thousand five hundred.
“Knock, knock, knock…” When Lin Mo was immersed in his own thoughts, as if his soul was leaving his body and wandering in the sky, there was a knock on the door suddenly. The crisp knock on the door was like a wake-up ring, which immediately pulled Lin Mo back from his distant reverie.
“Come in.” Lin Mo said softly without even raising his head.
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Zhang Rishan and Gao Jin walked in. They looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of admiration. In the past few days, they really admired Lin Mo.
Although Lin Mo is only ten years old now, he is not like those ordinary children at all. His maturity is simply not that of a child.
Some ideas are more mature than theirs.
“Lord… Lord…” Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan called out respectfully as soon as they came in.
“Well, what’s the matter with you?” Lin Mo looked at the two capable men and asked with some confusion.
“My lord, the guard team has expanded to 500 people. When are we going to take action?” Zhang Rishan stepped forward and clasped his fists.
“Well, very good. Gao Jin, you take two hundred people and nine Gastlys to bring all the nearby villages into our sphere of influence. If there are any evil spirits, we will kill them if we can. If we can’t kill them, we will make further plans.”
After hearing this, Lin Mo pondered for a while and then spoke.
This expansion means incorporating more than twenty nearby villages into his power and integrating all nearby forces, so that his power will have more than 80,000 people.
After unifying the surrounding area, Lin Mo decided to hide for a while.
At the same time, he also needed to clear out some harmful monsters and demons in the nearby hills. Simu told him that there was already a limit of one big monster within a hundred miles.
Every big monster has its own territory.
Now that the two-tailed fox has been killed, it is just the right time to cleanse the nearby monsters within a radius of a hundred miles.
So Lin Mo has to take Zhang Rishan to clean up some things in the mountain so that he can continue to upgrade.
This is called killing two birds with one stone. In this way, villagers will not be afraid of losing their lives when going into the mountains in the future. In this chaotic world, the mountains are very dangerous.
“My lord, why don’t you ask Rishan to conquer those villages, and I will go up the mountain with you to clean out those monsters and demons.” Gao Jin said with a bitter face when he heard it. He also wanted to go into the mountain and fight those monsters and demons.
Since Lin Mo gave him a Gastly, he finally broke through and became a transcendent, and also inherited an attribute element of Gastly. Not only Gao Jin, but also Zhang Rishan, Gao De, Zhang Wen, and Lin Mo were given it.
These three people all became extraordinary beings and also mastered an attribute element. Gao Jin awakened the poison element, Gao De was the ghost element, and Zhang Rishan was also the ghost element.
However, Zhang Wen’s physique has not reached its limit, so he can’t become a superhuman and cannot merge with him, so Gastly can only hide in his shadow and act as a bodyguard.
This is the special feature of Lin Mo’s guardian spirit, which can awaken certain attribute elements of the guardian spirit.
Unlike the guardian spirits in this world, they all need to cooperate with the same exercises to cultivate the Taoist Qi, the Buddhist Buddha power, etc…
This time Lin Mo was promoted to an intermediate Master, and Gastly also regenerated forty Gastlys, so even though four were given to God and his four companions, Lin Mo still had forty-six.
“Gao Jin, don’t even think about it.” Zhang Rishan rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
“Rishan, you…” Gao Jin was about to say something when Lin Mo interrupted him, “Okay Gao Jin, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Seeing that Lin Mo said this, Gao Jin didn’t say anything else.
“Okay, let’s get started.” After Lin Mo arranged everything, he stood up. Although Lin Mo was only ten years old, after two replies, his height was already about one and a half meters.
At this time, Lin Mo was wearing a purple-black tight robe with a strange evil dragon pattern embroidered on the surface. The evil dragon exuded a mysterious and dangerous aura, as if it wanted to drag people into an endless dark abyss, making Lin Mo look as if he was in the abyss of darkness.
Lin has short black hair that falls softly.
His eyes were calm and indifferent, staring straight ahead without any deviation. He was tall and thin, exuding a powerful aura, just like a lord who controlled the abyss.
Time is like a flying arrow, the sun and the moon are like shuttles, and before you know it, night falls quietly.
Tonight, there is no trace of the moon in the sky, only a few stars sparsely scattered, and the whole mountain seems to be swallowed up by an endless dark abyss.
In the mountains and forests, the sound of cicadas chirping one after another is endless, and from time to time there are one or two night owls’ creepy cries, which makes people feel terrified.
The breeze blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed, just like the devil waving its ferocious claws wantonly. In the thick darkness around, it seemed that some terrifying ghosts were lurking, as if they would pounce out and hurt people at any time.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!” At this moment, a huge figure rushed through the jungle shrouded in darkness. In the faint light that came through the gaps between the branches and leaves, one could see that this behemoth was covered in yellow and black fur.
This is the mountain overlord with a height of more than three meters – the spotted tiger.
But at this time, the overlord of the mountain no longer had the usual might of a tiger roaring in the mountains, and instead looked like he was fleeing in panic.
“Hehehe!! Hehehehe!!”
“Hurry up, don’t let it get away!”
“Gars! Shadow Ball!!”
At this moment, flashes of fire pierced through the dark jungle, accompanied by loud shouts.
There were also waves of chaotic footsteps, and then two shadow balls as big as basketballs roared towards the tiger.
“Roar!!!” The tiger that was fleeing frantically sensed the danger approaching from behind and let out an angry roar. The roar was earth-shaking and made the surrounding leaves rustle.
“Boom!!” However, no matter how it roared, after the tiger dodged one of the two shadow balls, one of them hit it directly.
A bloody hole was immediately blown out, and the huge tiger body was blown away.
At the same time, not far from here, two people, one old and one young, were walking on the mountain road. One of them was a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The older one was a monk, probably around fifty years old.
Suddenly, the two of them paused, and the girl quickly asked, “Master, what is that sound?”
Chapter 16: Ikkyu’s Master and Disciple (Old Version)
“Huh!?” The old monk frowned and moved his ears.
When the girl saw her master like this, she immediately calmed down. She knew her master was trying to find out what was going on.
After a while, the old monk frowned and said, “Qingqing, follow me.”
Yan Bai, the old monk went straight into the jungle like a nimble monkey, and Qing Qing followed closely behind him, the two of them shuttled back and forth in the dim jungle.
Ten minutes later.
As the two got closer, the howling of wild beasts became clearer and clearer, as well as human voices. At the same time, the two also saw tiny flashes of fire ahead.
The old monk looked at all this and thought, they couldn’t be bandits.
After all, in the middle of the night, ordinary people would not enter the mountains. Not to mention other things, the ferocious beasts in the mountains are not something ordinary people can fight against.
What’s more, in the deep mountains and old forests, the most dangerous things are not the wild beasts, but the monsters and demons. When the time comes, you won’t even know how you died.
Thinking of this, the old monk slowed down his pace and asked his apprentice to slow down as well. Qingqing saw this but didn’t say anything.
Since the master asked her to slow down, she had no objection. She was already a little tired from driving for more than ten minutes.
When the two of them came to a distance of a hundred meters, they finally saw clearly what was going on.
In front of us, we saw a team of a hundred people holding torches. All of them were young and strong, with weapons in their hands. At the same time, there were more than fifty people carrying ferocious beasts.
Moreover, the bodies of those ferocious beasts are larger than those of ordinary animals, and they are obviously beasts with awakened spiritual intelligence.
More importantly, there was a black ball of ghostly matter or gas surrounded by ten half-meter-sized, purple-glowing smoke. It had large white eyes, very small pupils, and a mouth with a pair of fangs.
When the old monk saw this, he exclaimed, “Ghost Guardian Spirit!!”
“Who!?” Zhang Rishan, who had killed a leopard tiger with one sword, shouted coldly when he heard the voice. At the same time, he swung his sword in the direction of the voice. A sword light with ghost elements slashed directly at him.
These are all the sword beams that Zhang Rishan can create with the help of the ghost elements in his body. In fact, every guardian spirit given to another person will be stationed in that person’s body and will not leave unless it is a life-and-death crisis.
The reason for this is that the guardian spirit is their link with various elements, which allows them to use various elements.
Therefore, when Zhang Rishan fights, he can only go on his own, and the guardian spirit will not rush forward at his command.
“Amitabha!” Just as the sharp blade was about to touch a place, a Buddhist chant with full energy came into the ears of Zhang Rishan and others.
“Boom!” In an instant, a brilliant golden light suddenly turned into a wall, stretching across the front. In the darkness, the cold blade chopped on the golden wall, and immediately a dull sound was made.
Seeing this, Zhang Rishan was about to call on ten Gastlys to rush forward with him, although judging from the situation, this was a monk, and a monk with real skills.
But now we are in the deep mountains and forests, it would be bad if it were some monsters or demons pretending to be us.
To be honest, they had been running around in the forest for most of the night, and they encountered quite a few monsters, including foxes, weasels, giant pythons, etc.
We encountered a few ghosts, but they were all dealt with by the Gastlys.
Originally, those ghosts wanted to escape. If it weren’t for Gastly and the others, Zhang Rishan and the others would never have been able to catch up with those ghosts. After all, these ghosts are invisible.
If you want to hide, even some Taoists can’t catch you.
But Gastly can also be said to be ghosts, so it is easier to catch some ghosts.
Seeing this, the old monk quickly said, “Donor, wait a minute, we are not bad people.”
When Zhang Rishan heard this, his eyes flickered and he waved his hand to ask the Gastlys to stop. He wanted to see what the old monk had to say.
At the same time, let the young people in the guard team be more vigilant.
After a while, the figures of an old man and a young boy appeared in everyone’s eyes in the light of the fire. Zhang Rishan looked at the old man and the young boy, and he felt it was strange that an old monk was followed by a pretty girl.
“Old monk, who are you? Why are you here?” Zhang Rishan just looked at the two of them and asked in a cold voice.
“My name is Ikkyu, and I’m a wandering monk. This is my disciple, Qingqing.” The old monk, oh no, should be called Ikkyu now, performed a Buddhist salute and began to introduce.
“The reason we are here is because we heard screams here, so we came to take a look.”
“Hmm?” Zhang Rishan looked at the two of them again and said, “In that case, you can go.”
Although the combination of the two was a bit strange, they didn’t seem to be bad people, so Zhang Rishan let them leave. They still had to continue hunting.
“Lift up the tiger and let’s go.” Zhang Rishan asked two people to lift up the tiger, and then he led the others away.
“Hehehe… Hehehe…” A few Gastlys at the back made a few naughty faces at Ikkiu and Qingqing, then caught up with the team.
“Master, are those guardian spirits?” Although Qingqing hated Gastly’s actions just now, she was still very envious. She also wanted to have a guardian spirit.
Yixiu looked deeply at the backs of Zhang Rishan and others, and said solemnly: “It seems that a decisive and extraordinary master has awakened nearby. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.”
But this was not something he could stop. After all, they were not killing people, but slaughtering the beasts in the mountains. Although he was compassionate, it was impossible for him to become an enemy of an extraordinary master for the sake of a few beasts.
He is merciful, but he is not a fool.
“Master, why don’t we follow and take a look.” When Qingqing heard what her master said, the curiosity in her eyes became even stronger, and she spoke.
Hearing this, Yixiu began to teach him a lesson: “Qingqing, remember one thing: curiosity kills the cat. Let’s go.”
After warning his extremely curious disciple, Ikkyu returned the same way.
Upon hearing this, Qingqing stuck out her tongue mischievously, then quickly followed.
At the same time, in another forest.
Lin Mo was followed by the Overlord Gastly, and behind him were a hundred young men, also holding sharp weapons in their hands, and most of them were carrying the corpses of various ferocious beasts.
Gastlys were floating around, making strange noises, which seemed even more eerie in the dark night.
“Hmph!”
At this moment, in the pitch-black night, there was a sudden roar. The sound was like a dull thunder, exploding suddenly in the silent night, shaking the air so much that it seemed to tremble slightly.
Lin Mo couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, as if his mind was captured by the sudden roar.
Then, in the next second, a huge and blurry black shadow, like a black lightning, swiftly broke through the layers of fog and rushed straight towards Lin Mo.
Could it be the Wild Boar King?
Lin Mo’s pupils shrank sharply in an instant. The speed of the black shadow was faster than he could imagine, like a gust of wind, and it rushed to him almost in the blink of an eye.
This is the sprinting combined with the savage charge skill that the Wild Boar King is good at!
However, before Lin Mo could make any move, the Overlord Gastly quickly sent out a shadow ball.
With a loud bang, the shadow ball was like a black meteor full of destructive power, smashing straight at the wild boar king. The wild boar king had come so fast just now, but now he was like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards.
“Ah…”
The sneak attack failed, and instead the Wild Boar King suffered such a heavy blow that he let out a shrill howl.
From the depths of the jungle, many sounds came one after another, as if the wild boar king’s companions were responding to its wailing, or as if they were warning against this sudden attack.
“Everyone be careful, a group of wild boars are coming.” Lin Mo listened to the sounds in the jungle and warned them, waving his hand to let the Gastlys take the initiative.
“Yiheihei… Yiheihei… Yiheihei…”
After receiving orders from their master, the Gastlys made strange noises and rushed into the depths of the jungle. After a while, the screams of wild boars and the strange noises of Gastlys were heard.
Chapter 17 Renjia Town (Old Version)
However, some wild boars still broke through the Gastly’s defense circle. Although the Gastlys were all strong, the number of wild boars was twice that of the Gastlys.
In addition, the charging wild boar was very fast and rushed out of the defense circle before Gastly could react.
Rushing towards the guards’ green appearance.
“Drop the prey and defend!” Lin Mo shouted coldly upon seeing this, and immediately all the one hundred guards dropped the prey on their bodies.
The blade in his hand was flashing with a cold light as he pointed it at the charging wild boar.
“kill!”
Dozens of black shadows surged in from all directions. They were like surprise troops coming out from the depths of the jungle, and like fearless pig-shaped chariots, they rushed straight towards Lin Mo and his group.
Following Lin Mo’s order, the guards raised their swords and swung them down in one go. Their movements were quick, accurate, and ruthless, and they completed the task in one go.
Almost at the same time, Lin Mo’s mind moved slightly, and dozens of chains condensed from black air, as fast as a snake coming out of a cave, instantly tightly wrapped around the legs of a wild boar, and the wild boar’s fierce charge came to an abrupt stop.
Immediately, the guards’ sharp swords slashed accurately at the wild boar’s neck.
After all, there were only a dozen wild boars, but the guard team had more than a hundred people, and they were all well-trained, so they had considerable strength in their hands.
The knife was extremely sharp. When the blade touched the wild boar’s skin, it was as easy as cutting into crisp fruits and vegetables. It actually chopped off the wild boar’s head with one stroke.
In an instant, the pig’s blood gushed out and hot blood splashed everywhere.
The warm blood splashed onto the shirt, staining it a deep red.
In just a moment, the dozen wild boars were dead on the spot, lying straight on the ground.
However, at this moment, the wild boar king that had just fallen to the ground stood up again. Its blood-red eyes were like a pair of lanterns in the darkness, flashing a frightening light. At the same time, it let out a dull roar, and the sound was like thunder suddenly exploding in the air, causing pain in the eardrums.
Lin Mo’s eyes flashed purple, and he looked at the wild boar king expressionlessly. At this moment, the wild boar king exuded a savage and domineering aura, and the hair on his body stood up like steel needles, and his appearance revealed a primitive ferocity.
“Ergou, go deal with the other wild boars.”
After hearing Lin Mo’s order, the guards rushed to the jungle and dealt with the other wild boars. They knew Lin Mo’s strength very well, so they had no worries at all.
Lin Mo’s eyes flashed slightly, and five black auras like poisonous pythons, like flowing lights, shot straight towards the wild boar king’s head.
The wild boar king lowered his head, and his snow-white fangs shone with a cold light. Then, his hind legs suddenly exerted force like a wild bull, and he rushed towards Lin Mo fiercely, with such a fierce momentum that it seemed to be wrapped in a thousand pounds of force.
“No wonder they say there’s only one pig, two bears and three tigers. This wild boar has such a violent temper.”
“Woohoo!”
The wild boar king’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had obviously fallen into a state of rage. He was so crazy that he seemed to want to tear everything in front of him into pieces.
But no matter how violent it was, it was still weak. Five black auras pierced directly into its big pig’s head like sharp arrows.
“Puff! Puff! Puff, puff, puff!”
Sharp sounds suddenly occurred, like a sharp weapon piercing deeply into the wild boar’s head. In an instant, warm and gurgling blood spurted out from the wild boar king’s head.
“Woo!”
The wild boar king let out a whine.
Then, with a dull “bang” sound, it fell to the ground with a thud, scarlet blood slowly flowing out, and then it closed its eyes unwillingly.
“Hehehe… Hehehe…” Overlord Gastly floated in front of the corpse of the Wild Boar King and shouted excitedly.
Lin Mo also walked over and kicked the four-meter-long body of the Wild Boar King. Lin Mo sighed that there were too many powerful beasts in this world.
They returned with a full load in just the middle of the night.
His Gastly’s Nest progress bar rose by another 13%. If he continued to kill, he would become invincible sooner or later.
But it was time to end for the night. Lin Mo looked up at the dimly lit sky. It was already four or five in the morning.
With so many prey, it would be difficult to catch them if we continued to kill them.
After all, these preys are well-prepared and eating them is very beneficial to the human body, especially for martial artists.
After the death of the wild boar king, the violent wild boars calmed down and the remaining wild boars fled.
The guards gathered together, dragging the wild boar’s body.
Looking at the piles of wild boar carcasses, there were at least forty or fifty of them, and each one probably weighed more than one or two hundred kilograms of meat.
“Take them all with you, let’s go down the mountain.” Lin Mo looked at the guards, all of whom had injuries of varying degrees, but fortunately there were no casualties. Then, Lin Mo waved his hand.
Hearing Lin Mo’s words, the members of the escort team were very excited, and their eyes were full of admiration and worship when they looked at Lin Mo.
The admiration and worship for Lin Mo is like a surging river, which never stops.
In this chaotic era, having such a powerful person around is simply synonymous with safety.
Lin Mo didn’t care about their looks, and then led the guards down the mountain.
While Lin Mo was winning the hunt, on the other side, in Renjia Town, three hundred miles away from here.
In the suburbs of Renjia Town, an independent charity cemetery was erected.
In the middle of the night, the charity cemetery was extremely quiet, with only two white lanterns hanging in front of the gate emitting a dim light.
“Ding-ling-ling!”
Just at this moment, a crisp sound echoed slowly along the path.
As far as the eye could see, at the fork in the path not far away, a Taoist priest wearing glasses came into view. He was holding a soul-guiding banner, with a soul-calming bell hanging on his body, and a group of zombies behind him, hopping and walking slowly towards him.
The Taoist’s eyes glowed faintly in the dim light, as if hiding a mysterious power. The soul-guiding banner in his hand swayed gently in the wind, and the faint runes on the banner seemed to be telling an ancient story.
The crisp sound of the soul-calming bell seemed particularly ethereal on the quiet path. The group of zombies had expressionless faces and followed the Taoist priest in mechanical and orderly movements. Every jump raised a small cloud of dust, adding a bit of weird atmosphere to this already mysterious scene.
The visitor was in a hurry and had been traveling for a week.
This week, after Simu and Lin Mo separated, after sending their last clients away, they started picking up other clients along the way.
This time he happened to be passing through Renjia Town, and his senior brother Lin Jiu was also in Renjia Town, so he brought his clients here to rest for a day.
He also got together with his senior brother. After all, since they left Maoshan, they went their separate ways and rarely got together.
“Hey, next time I go out, I must bring Jiale with me. I’ll have someone to chat with, so at least it won’t be so boring.”
“I don’t know how Lin Mo is doing. When I go back, I must go and see him.”
While Simu was muttering, they had already arrived at the gate of the charity cemetery.
“Pah pah pah!!!”
Looking at the tightly closed door of the charity cemetery, Simu stopped the soul-calming bell, patted the door hard, and shouted at the same time: “Wencai!! Qiusheng!! Open the door quickly!!”
“Wencai!! Wencai!! Qiusheng!! Your uncle is here!!”
Simu’s loud voice was extremely obvious in the silent night sky. At the same time, the lights in the charity cemetery were turned on, and there were hurried footsteps.
“Uncle Master, stop knocking! Here I come…”
When Simu heard the voice, he stopped and waited for Wencai to open the door.
“Creaky…” After a while, the wooden door was opened, revealing Wencai’s prematurely aged appearance. Wencai looked at Simu with sleepy eyes and called out, “Uncle Master.”
Chapter 18: Surprised Uncle Nine (Old Version)
“Wencai, you are so good. Master loves you so much.” As soon as he saw Wencai, his bad habit broke out again. He pinched Wencai’s face and said with a smile.
“Hey… Hey, uncle master, please stop pinching me, it hurts…” Wencai, who was originally sleepy, was pinched by Simu, but he immediately woke up and cried out in pain.
At this moment, Wencai wanted to die. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Qiu Sheng to come.
“Junior brother, stop messing around and bring your client in quickly.” At this time, Uncle Jiu’s serious voice reached the ears of the two. Wencai felt relieved when he heard his master’s words.
Simu was not embarrassed when he heard what his senior brother said. He let go of his hand with a smile and said hello to his senior brother who was wearing a coat: “Senior brother, long time no see.”
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu smiled from his serious face, and then he shouted at Qiu Sheng who was hiding aside and watching the show, “Qiu Sheng, what are you still watching? Hurry up and help your uncle take the client to the morgue.”
Qiu Sheng, who was hiding aside and watching the show, was startled and hurried over. He honestly called out “Uncle Master”, and then he and Wencai took the clients to the morgue.
Simu praised Wencai and Qiu Sheng for being “really well behaved” and went to the living room with his senior brother.
“Junior brother, you have to stay for a few more days here. Let’s have a good reunion.” After the two of them sat down, he poured him a cup of tea and started talking.
He and Simu haven’t seen each other for half a year.
Simu drank the tea in one gulp and said helplessly, “Brother, I want to, too, but some clients are in a hurry this time, so I can only stay here for one day.”
Whatever, the customer is king, and the day is chosen carefully. It would be bad if it was late.
“Alas… after we brothers came down from Mount Mao, we went our separate ways, and we don’t know when we can get together again.” Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu did not try to persuade us any further, but just sighed.
“Hey, Brother, have you forgotten that we are going to take Jiale and the others back to Maoshan to select guardian spirits in a year? Then we brothers can get together again, right?”
Simu saw his senior brother’s sad look and immediately spoke.
Uncle Jiu laughed when he heard it: “That’s right. By the way, is Jiale sure this time?”
Uncle Jiu has also seen Jiale. To be honest, Jiale is countless times better than his two cheating apprentices. He looks honest and at least he won’t cheat his master.
“About 70 to 80 percent.” Simu said vaguely, but suddenly, he thought of Lin Mo and continued, “Speaking of guardian spirits, Senior Brother, guess what I encountered along the way?”
Looking at his junior brother’s mysterious look and the guardian spirit, he smiled and said, “Junior brother, you won’t meet the Master, will you?”
“Brother, you are really a worm in my stomach. You have guessed this. I did meet a master. I originally wanted to accept him as my master, but he looked down on me.”
“You definitely can’t guess how old that Master is, ten years old. He awakened to become a transcendental Master at the age of ten. He is so naive. I don’t know…
Listening to his junior brother’s words, he was a little indifferent at first. After all, his junior brother had traveled far and wide, so it was normal for him to meet a master.
But when he heard the words ten years old and extraordinary master, Uncle Jiu’s expression changed drastically and he hurriedly grabbed Simu’s hand, which scared Simu.
He didn’t understand why his senior brother was so excited, but Uncle Jiu didn’t care. He quickly asked, “Did he awaken the ghost guardian spirit? And is his name Lin Mo?”
When Simu heard this, he looked at his senior brother in shock and asked, “Senior brother, do you know Lin Mo? Oh, his last name is Lin, and your last name is also Lin. Could it be your illegitimate child?”
At the same time, he was amazed in his heart that his senior brother was really good at hiding his secrets and actually had such a big child. At the same time, he was extremely envious. Having a Master as a son was really a great honor for his ancestors.
When Uncle Jiu heard Simu’s words, his excited heart calmed down, and he said unhappily: “What are you thinking about! That’s a member of our Lin family. Last time, our Lin family…”
Next, Uncle Jiu told everything about Linjia Village.
After a while, Simu listened to his senior brother’s words and sighed: “It seems that your Lin family and Lin Mo have a deep connection. I can meet him and send him a message.”
He also didn’t expect that Lin Mo was actually a member of his senior brother’s clan.
“By the way, junior brother, where is Lin Mo now? I want to find him.” Uncle Jiu was also very happy. Since he brought his tribesmen back to Renjia Town, although he also wanted to go out to look for Lin Mo, he simply had no time.
After all, they also need to make a living, and there are not many laborers in Linjia Village, so they can only rely on Uncle Jiu.
But Uncle Jiu also had other things to do and didn’t have much time to look for Lin Mo. Moreover, there were so many people that he didn’t know where to look.
However, he never expected that news about Lin Mo would come to his door. This really meant that Lin Mo was destined to be the opportunity for their Lin family to rise.
“Lin Mo is now in Lijia Village. That village recognizes him as the leader. If you want to see him, you need to find him yourself.” Upon hearing this, Simu told the whereabouts of Lin Mo.
“Brother, you don’t know how powerful Lin Mo is. A week ago, he and I killed a big monster together. Moreover, Lin Mo has been promoted to an intermediate master, and his strength is stronger than mine.
“You said that these extraordinary masters are really blessed by nature. As long as they awaken, they will reach the sky in one step.”
Simu continued to talk about how he and Lin Mo fought side by side, and his tone was full of envy.
It’s impossible not to be envious. He has been practicing hard for more than twenty years, but it’s still less than half a month since Lin Mo awakened.
“Simu, how can you leave Lin Mo in a village where he is unfamiliar with the place? What if he becomes a bad person?”
Although Uncle Jiu was shocked by what Lin Mo had experienced, he was still very worried about Lin Mo staying in that village alone. After all, human hearts are treacherous.
Simu heard his senior brother’s worried words and anxious expression, and smiled and comforted him: “Senior brother, don’t worry, Lin Mo is not an ordinary child, and Lin Mo is so smart, no one can teach him bad things.”
“It’s good that he doesn’t teach bad people. Besides, the people in that village are kind people. They can just serve as his foundation. From what I know about Lin Mo, he is a tyrant.”
“Although I am just a small tyrant now, I will become one of the overlords of Kyushu sooner or later.”
The reason why Simu gave such high praise was because he had a very strong intuition that Lin Mo would sooner or later grow up to be someone he would look up to.
Uncle Jiu listened to Simu’s high praise and looked at Simu with some doubt. Although Lin Mo’s starting point was high, it was not that exaggerated.
Seeing his senior brother’s suspicious look, Simu knew that he didn’t believe it, so he asked, “Senior brother, haven’t you seen Lin Mo?”
Uncle Jiu nodded and said, “I have indeed never seen Lin Mo. If it weren’t for the old village chief of the Lin family telling me, I wouldn’t have known there was such a person as Lin Mo.
You know, I have been studying martial arts in Maoshan, so I don’t have time to go back to Linjia Village.”
Uncle Jiu sighed when he said this. He had been brought to Maoshan by a Taoist priest to learn martial arts since he was a child, so he didn’t know many things about Linjia Village.
What’s more, they are the villagers of Linjia Village.
“Then, senior brother, when you meet Lin Mo, you will know whether I am wrong or not.” Seeing this, Simu laughed and said. After all, seeing is believing, and no matter how much he said now, it would be useless.
“Then where is Lijia Village? I will set off tomorrow so that I can give an explanation to my Lin family members.” Uncle Jiu asked after hearing this.
What Simu said was true. Only by seeing him could one know what kind of person Lin Mo was. If it was really as Simu said, then his Lin family would really rise.
“It’s hard to say. Brother, do you have a map? I’ll draw a path for you.” Simu said helplessly. To be honest, if he hadn’t walked so much, he sometimes couldn’t find the way.
After all, the roads at this time are so crooked that sometimes you can’t even find the road.
Chapter 19: Youlin Town (Old Version)
Next day
As the first ray of sunlight in the early morning gently sprinkled on the earth, Lin Mo led the members of the guard team and slowly walked down the mountain.
What comes into view is the smoke rising from the village. The whole village is immersed in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
“Rishan, give all these prey to the old village chief, and find a few people who are good at butchering to skin the prey. These furs can be sold for a lot of money.”
Lin Mo looked at the villagers who gradually gathered around him and gave instructions in an orderly manner.
Although Lijia Village has accumulated a certain amount of wealth today, Lin Mo is in urgent need of a large sum of money.
No matter what kind of business you are developing, you cannot do without strong financial support.
After all, in this world, he was in Guangdong Province in the south, and this world was more than ten times larger than his previous life. Both the population size and the vast land area were incomparable to his previous life.
“What a big tiger!!!”
“So many prey! So cool!”
“These guardian spirits are so powerful.”
When the villagers gathered around, exclamations and praises reached the ears of Lin Mo and others, which made the guards unconsciously straighten their chests.
You know, this kind of prey is not what they usually think of. If they encounter these powerful beasts, they may not even be able to escape.
But now they have killed so many of them. Although most of them were killed by Gastly and others, they were also carried down by them, weren’t they?
Looking at such enthusiastic villagers, Lin Mo felt a little headache, but he responded one by one. However, soon the old village chief came to rescue him.
“What are you all doing here? Get back to work.”
The old village chief had not arrived yet, but his powerful voice was heard, causing the villagers who had gathered around to disperse.
Seeing this, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
After all the villagers left, the old village chief respectfully called out to Lin Mo: “Master, I will take care of these prey. You go back and rest first.”
The old village chief was excited when he saw the prey carried by the guards. These were all powerful and powerful beasts, and they were worth a lot of money.
The big men in big cities love it the most.
“Okay, I’ll leave all these things to you. I’ll go back first.” Lin Mo nodded and said. The current old village chief can be said to be his butler.
The old village chief handles those trivial matters, he just needs to grasp the general direction.
Afterwards, Lin Mo took all the Gastlys back to the nest. A black hole appeared and all the Gastlys entered, leaving only the Overlord Gastly lurking in its shadow.
No matter how many times they have seen it, Zhang Rishan and others are always amazed.
After Lin Mo disappeared, the old village chief said, “Rishan, carry all the prey to the slaughterhouse, and then you can go back and rest. Thank you for your hard work last night.”
The old village chief values ​​Zhang Rishan, the younger generation, very much, as he is the backbone of his Lijia Village.
“Yes, old village chief.” Zhang Rishan nodded and responded, then immediately led the guards to the slaughterhouse in the village. Although Lijia Village was called a village, it actually already had the rudiments of a town.
All the necessary shops are there, but Lijia Village is located deep in the mountains and forests, and the roads are not good, so few merchants are willing to come. Otherwise, with the population of Lijia Village, it would have become a small town long ago.
But there is an old saying that goes, “Live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the sea, eat from the sea.”
In the deep mountains and old forests, the most abundant things are various herbs and various prey, which are all valuable things.
Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than five months since Lin Mo came into this world.
During these five months, many things happened and Lin Mo also met many film and television figures.
Like Master Yixiu, the enemy of Simu, and Qingqing, the disciple of Master Yixiu, they all appeared in Lin Mo’s world. The two stayed in Lijia Village for only one day and left in a hurry.
A week later, a person who surprised Lin Mo showed up. This person was none other than Uncle Jiu, whose real name was Lin Fengjiao. Uncle Jiu thought the name “Lin Fengjiao” was too feminine, so he changed his name to Lin Jiu.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Nine was actually Lin Mo’s cousin, which was beyond his expectation. However, after roughly understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Lin Mo did not return to Renjia Town with Uncle Nine.
At present, he needs to accumulate strength, and when the time is right, Renjia Town will also be in his pocket. Therefore, it is also a good choice for the people of Linjia Village to develop in Renjia Town. After staying for two days, Uncle Jiu left because of his affairs.
In the following month, Gao Jin led the guards to conquer the nearby villages one by one. Lin Mo considered that the villages were too scattered, so the villages that were too far away were moved to Lijia Village.
With the progress of the relocation work, the population of Lijia Village has now reached more than 50,000.
Today’s Lijia Village is changing with each passing day. It has already become a large town with majestically towering tall city walls, and the entire town is located in the mountains.
Such a city was built in just five months, and Gastly also contributed to this. Although Gastly is not a psychic Pokémon, perhaps it has mutated in this world and can also use telekinesis.
Most of the building materials were obtained by Gastly. Today, Lijia Village is no longer called Lijia Village, but is named Youlin Town, where the “You” character represents the Gastlys and the “Lin” character represents Lin Mo.
At the same time, Lin Mo also built three large villages around Youlin Town to protect it. The three villages were distributed in a triangle, with Youlin Town located in the center.
Although they are called villages, they all have city walls, but they are not as high as the city wall of Youlin Town. The city wall of Youlin Town is six meters high, while the city walls of the other three villages are four meters high.
The three villages are named Yuhe Village, Taoyuan Village, and Baiyun Village. Each village has its own characteristics. Take Yuhe Village for example. There is a river running through the entire mountain in the village. After Lin Mo’s investigation, he learned that the river can reach the sea directly.
Therefore, Lin Mo built a dock here. The reason why no one used this river before was because there was a giant python hovering nearby, and passing ships would be destroyed by it.
However, the python has now been dealt with by the Overlord Gastly. At the same time, just in case, Lin Mo sent ten Gastlys to guard here to prevent the invasion of other water monsters.
After all, the Yuhe Wharf is related to his future development. With this Yuhe River, he can travel to other cities by water.
The land routes nowadays are different from those in the past. They are all cement roads. In addition, due to the chaos of this era, there are bandits, horse thieves, and monsters everywhere.
It can be said that taking the water route is many times safer than taking the land route.
The Yu River can be said to run through a large number of towns, among which Renjia Town was developed relying on the Yu River.
At the same time, Lin Mo’s guard team also increased to two thousand people. The current guard team is no longer called the guard team, but the Youlin Guard. Gao Jin and Zhang Rishan each manage one thousand people.
Those in Youlinwei are all young and strong men around 23 or 24 years old. Each of them is a martial artist and they are supplied with a large amount of blood and flesh every day. It can be said that the people in Youlinwei change every day.
In addition, Lin Mo promised that anyone who reached the limit of the human body could obtain a guardian spirit, which made the people of Youlinwei work harder.
However, reaching the limit of the human body is not that easy. Even with the help of a large amount of flesh and blood of monsters, only five people reached the limit of the human body in two months.
After Lin Mo bestowed Gastly upon them, they all broke through the limits of the human body and became extraordinary beings.
Of course, this will only be done in the early stages of development. After development, Gastly will not be given unless he has made great contributions.
Otherwise, his Gastly wouldn’t have enough points.
Gao Jin is now in charge of Yuhe Village. The other two villages each have a transcendent and three hundred Youlin Guards stationed there. In addition to patrolling the villages, these Youlin Guards also have to clean up their respective areas regularly, becoming ferocious beasts of the climate.
This world is big and strange. Although there are firearms in this world, they are not invincible. For example, people like Lin Mo can only be defeated by large-scale cannons unless they are surrounded and fired at.
If you want to hide or escape, you can still do it.
Chapter 20: Power Development (Old Version)
So in this world, although Kyushu is in chaos, those foreigners are not as rampant as in the previous world. However, looking at the people of Kyushu, they are still not much different.
They look down on the people of Jiuzhou, but they all know Jiuzhou’s strength, so they dare not be too arrogant.
But they also do a lot of dirty things in private, such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, etc.
At this time in Youlin Town, there was a large courtyard with a plaque that read “City Lord’s Mansion”.
Lin Mo sat in the main seat, listening to Zhang Wenhui reporting on everything that had happened in the past two months.
“My Lord, we have spent a lot of money in the past five months to build a town and three villages. With the dock we are building, we don’t have much wealth left.”
In fact, not only Zhang Wen, Gao De, but also the old village chief are here. These three people can be said to be the backbone of his small force. Lin Mo arranges many things for these three people to do.
Now Zhang Wen is in charge of logistics, and Gao De is in charge of the city’s public security. After all, there are so many people, all kinds of people, and they need a department like the police.
So, Lin Mo set up the Six Gates to deal with thieves, fights, and other strange things in the city.
The Youlin Guards are responsible for external wars, so most of them are in training.
In fact, Lin Mo still likes ancient things very much, such as clothes. He combined modern ancient costumes from his previous life and improved them to make clothes that are more suitable for the people of Kyushu.
The clothes are also very simple and more elegant.
Lin Mo disdains Western suits.
But those stockings are indeed good stuff, and that can earn his approval.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Listening to Zhang Wen’s report, Lin Mo frowned and asked, “Mr. Li, how many medicinal herbs can we sell?”
During the past two months of clearing the deep mountains, they obtained a lot of aged medicinal herbs, which are rare medicines.
Although this world has many mountains and forests, there are also many monsters and demons, so not everyone can enter the mountains.
Therefore, medicinal materials that have been aged are also very valuable in the market.
“My Lord, our aged medicinal herbs include…”
Mr. Li, the old village chief, listed all the medicinal herbs that could be sold, as well as their furs.
Lin Mo listened to what Mr. Li said, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair.
“My lord, that’s all.” After talking for a few minutes, Mr. Li stopped and looked at Lin Mo, waiting for Lin Mo’s instructions.
Looking at Lin Mo’s childish face, he was filled with relief. It turned out that their original decision to surrender was not a mistake. Although their lord was only ten years old, everything he did was right.
Life nowadays is countless times better than it was two months ago, and all of this is brought by Lin Mo.
Being able to witness this grand spectacle in his lifetime, it can be said that it was worth it even if he died.
“When Piers 2 and 3 are repaired, Zhang Wen, you can take these goods and go to the big city by water to buy them.”
Now Pier No. 1 has been repaired, but after the development of Youlin Town, many businessmen have come here by water, which has made Lin Mo’s power more and more prosperous.
One dock was simply not enough, so after discussion, Lin Mo ordered the construction of two more docks.
“Yes, my lord.” Zhang Wen immediately responded with a fist salute.
“Okay, if there’s nothing else, you guys can go down and do your work.” Seeing that the two of them had nothing else to do, Lin Mo asked them to go down to work, leaving only Gao De behind.
Zhang Wen and Li Lao bowed respectfully and left.
“Gao De, has the person behind that group of people sent the money over?” After the two men’s backs disappeared, Lin Mo looked at the remaining Gao De and asked.
“My lord, no. I’m afraid those people have given up. After all, we want too much.” Gao De said helplessly after hearing this.
I can say that this lord is good in every way, but when he is mean, he is very mean. He will cheat others to their death.
For example, in the prison in Youlin Town, the prisoners are all people who transport contraband, some are transporting drugs for sale, and some are trafficking in people…
Lin Mo hated these things, so he stipulated that his power must not have these things, and violators would be put to death!
So every time they caught someone, they would ask the people behind them for money to redeem them, but every time they paid the money, Lin Mo would let Gastly secretly follow them and kill them all.
That’s why Gao De felt that his lord was very sinister.
“In that case, let’s take them to mine. This way we can accumulate some virtue.” Lin Mo touched his chin and spoke. It just so happened that the iron mine was short of people.
That’s right, this is the advantage of having many mountains. When they were clearing out those monsters, they discovered a medium-sized iron mine in a mountain.
At least in the short term, his power will not lack iron.
“Yes, lord.” Gao Dewen responded immediately. He was not surprised by this. After all, many people had gone mining in the past few months.
“Well, you go down.” Lin Mo waved his hand and let Gao De go down.
Gao De clasped his fists and stepped back.
After Gastly left, Lin Mo began to look at the sheepskin map on the table, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t figure out where the target on the map was.
“Yihehe… Yihehe…” The Overlord Gastly also came over, turned his big eyes around, looked at the map, and called out twice.
“Where is this tomb? It seems that such professional matters still need to be done by professionals.” Lin Mo pushed Gastly and said helplessly.
This map was found in a small tomb. According to Mr. Li, the ancient tomb on this map should be in the mountains nearby, but they are not Feng Shui masters or professional tomb robbers.
It was impossible to find it, so Lin Mo could only take it out and look at it from time to time. He also asked people to go into the mountains to look for it, but there was no trace at all.
In fact, in the past few months, Lin Mo and his team also found many tombs, but they were all small tombs. Among them, the buildings of Youlin Town and the money of three villages were all taken out from the tombs.
“Forget it, let me first see how much luck I have and see if I can exchange it for the nest I need.”
When Lin Mo thought of this, his mind moved and his panel appeared in front of him.
Physical fitness: 70 (human limit 10)
Extraordinary Lair: Gastly Lair (0/50000)
Luck value: 157,500
Evolution value: 15,000
Seeing that it was only 150,000, Lin Mo saw that the nest he liked cost 500,000. Lin Mo felt helpless. The evolution value was only 15,000, and the Gastly Nest required 50,000 to upgrade.
Lin Mo felt helpless. He was neither as good as the best nor as good as the worst.
While Lin Mo was feeling a little worried, it was at the Yuhe Village Pier.
The dusk quietly enveloped the earth like a veil, the lights came on, and the twinkling lights were like bright stars scattered in the world.
The dock of Yuhe Village gradually became lively, with shouts echoing over the dock. Even the nightingales were not willing to be lonely and sang happily.
The dock workers who were leaving work came in droves, bringing with them a lot of popularity. With more people, the demand for food naturally increased, and all the restaurants, big and small, were full.
Looking around, there were people dining everywhere. The rich aroma of food spread in the crowd, as if injecting endless vitality into the place, and the entire pier instantly became lively and vivid.
The street vendors selling dried fruits and mending leather boots carried their loads on their shoulders and shouted at the top of their lungs, as if welcoming the arrival of this bustling and noisy night.
Merchants were coming and going like flowing ribbons, and more people were on their way, making the scene busy and lively everywhere.
A passenger ship was docked at Pier No. 1, and people coming from all over to do business or for other purposes got off the ship.
Chapter 21: The Captain of the Tomb Raiders (Old Version)
Among them was a man dressed as a Beijia with a small golden abacus hanging around his waist. Although he looked ordinary, his eyes sparkled with brilliance.
You know, this is not an ordinary businessman.
In fact, this is indeed not an ordinary businessman. This businessman is dressed like a gold lieutenant and is also known as the famous Golden Abacus in the tomb-robbing world.
He is the second apprentice of Zhang Sanlianzi. He comes from a merchant family and is good at using strange tricks (i.e. mechanisms and traps, etc.).
He never put down his abacus made of pure gold. The abacus beads and the frame were engraved with the numbers of the heavenly stems and earthly branches. It was not used for accounting, but for calculating the five elements and the eight directions.
Jin Suanpan is a shrewd person and good at dealing with people. Although he comes from a merchant family and is a shrewd person, he is upright and disdains to do anything dirty.
However, his experiences over the years have been smooth sailing, so he does not take ordinary people seriously, which sometimes leads him to act overconfidently or take risks.
The reason why he came to Lin Mo’s forces this time was because he got a map. After his research, he also determined the location of the map, so he came here.
Jin Suanpan slowly raised his head, and with the help of the afterglow of the sunset, he cast his gaze behind the forest. He saw a lush mountain range that looked like a giant dragon winding through it, with several peaks rising and falling in an orderly manner.
“The mountains are like dragons. This is a top-notch hidden dragon situation! No wonder such a person suddenly appeared here.”
“This mountain range runs east-west, with the main ridge connecting to the Tianzhu Divine Mountain in the northwest, and running along the Wanshan Mountains.”
Jin Suanpan muttered to himself as he walked towards Yuhe Village. He planned to rest for a night and go explore again the next day.
At the same time, a team of Youlin Guards crossed paths with the Golden Abacus.
When Jin Suanpan saw You Linwei, he lowered his head unconsciously, as if he was afraid that You Linwei would notice him. After all, Jin Suanpan was naturally afraid of official people.
“Whoever is in front, stop.” But suddenly, a cold voice came into the ears of Jin Suanpan who was walking, which made Jin Suanpan stop.
“Da da da!!” Soon, footsteps came towards Jin Suanpan, and Jin Suanpan felt creepy, and his hair stood up.
However, Jin Suanpan was a tomb raider after all, and had been traveling around the country for more than twenty years. He calmed himself down, turned around, and saw a team of ten people in dark uniforms walking towards him.
The leader among them had an expressionless face, and an invisible pressure was pressing towards him, which made Jin Suanpan terrified. He thought secretly in his heart, could this be the hidden dragon?
Although he knows some physiognomy, some people’s fate cannot be calculated casually, so Jin Suanpan would never tell people’s fortunes.
But even without physiognomy, one can tell that this is not an ordinary person.
“Sir, I’m new here. Please bear with me.” Jin Suanpan was very considerate. He took out a few silver dollars from his long sleeves and wanted to hand them to Gao Jin.
That’s right, this person was Gao Jin. Originally, Gao Jin was patrolling the dock as usual, but when passing by Jin Suanpan, Gao Jin smelled a strong earthy smell.
Those with such earthy smell belong to people who have to beg for food underground all year round, that is, tomb robbers, so Gao Jin stopped Jin Suanpan.
Gao Jin didn’t even look at the dollar in Jin Suanpan’s hand, and said coldly: “Come with me.”
This startled Jin Suanpan, and he was about to retort. He didn’t want to go with these people. He knew a lot about Youlin Town along the way.
This Youlin Town is very evil to some businessmen. Not only do they kill and rob, but they also leave no trace of the body.
Of course, these were spread by people who wanted to make money in an illegal way, but among some businessmen doing legitimate business, Youlin Town was a very good business district.
The unique costumes, wild delicacies and medicinal herbs of Youlin Town are all loved by some businessmen.
So even though there are bad rumors outside, there are still many businessmen coming here.
Although Jin Suanpan found out some good news, he didn’t want to have too much contact with these managers.
“You have no right to refuse. The earthy smell on you is not something that ordinary people can have.” Gao Jin stared at Jin Abacus and said coldly.
This made Jin Suanpan’s pupils shrink suddenly, and he looked at Gao Jin in surprise and suspicion.
Gao Jin didn’t care about him. He just waved his hand and asked someone to take him back. He would interrogate him after he finished inspecting the Yuhe Wharf. After all, the Yuhe Wharf could be said to be an important facility in Youlin Town.
There cannot be any accidents. There is no shortage of mountain goblins and monsters in the mountains and rivers.
That’s why Lin Mo asked Gao Jin to garrison in Yuhe Village.
Looking at the quiet Jade River, Gao Jin waved his hand and ten Gastly emerged from the darkness and began to patrol the Jade River. As soon as the Gastly appeared, the people at the dock were filled with exclamations and envy.
“This is the unique guardian spirit of Youlin Town. It’s amazing.”
“No matter how many times I watch it, it’s always amazing.”
“It’s amazing that even some big cities don’t have such a guardian spirit.”
“With an extraordinary master here, this place will be no weaker than those big cities sooner or later.”
In fact, most of the businessmen also came for Lin Mo. After all, a force with an extraordinary master, no matter how weak it is, will rise sooner or later as long as it does not collapse.
In fact, after Youlin Town became famous, many forces had their eyes on Youlin Town, but they were all killed by Lin Mo with the power of thunder.
The nearby forces all knew that there was an extraordinary master here, and they all wanted to occupy the place, but they only knew it on the surface and did not know about it in secret.
Fortunately, there are no powerful forces nearby, so Lin Mo used his intermediate master power to suppress them. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.
The current Guangdong Province can be said to be divided into pieces. There are countless people who claim to be marshals just by occupying a small town with dozens of guns.
For example, in the original novel, there is only a few hundred people who are called Marshal Long, the husband of Uncle Jiu’s first love. But in this era, marshals can be said to be countless.
Therefore, Lin Mo’s small force can be said to be pretty good.
In addition, the Kyushu of this world is huge, and there are many monsters and demons. In fact, many forces occupy a place, and if they do not have the strength to deal with the monsters and demons, they rarely take the initiative to attack.
There are no good means of transportation in Kyushu today, and many people still use horse-drawn carriages or ride horses.
The sunset slowly fell, and the cold moon peeked out from between the clouds, casting its dim moonlight on the earth.
The sky was dotted with stars, and the whole earth seemed to have fallen into a vast sea of ​​stars.
“Squeak…”
“Coooo…coooo…”
In the mountains and forests, the sound of cicadas chirping one after another is endless, and from time to time there are one or two cries of night owls.
Although it was already night, Yuhe Village, the other two villages, and Youlin Town were still brightly lit.
However, some people still went to bed early.
At this time, in the Youlinwei garrison in Yuhe Village, Jin Suanpan was locked in a small house.
“I’m so unlucky. I was caught just after arriving here. I don’t know what they will do to me.” Jin Suanpan sat in a corner, staring blankly at the moon outside the small window, muttering to himself.
“Da da da…” At this time, the sound of footsteps reached the ears of Jin Suanpan who was in a daze, which made Jin Suanpan stare at the iron gate with his eyes.
“Click! Creak…” Just then, the iron gate was opened from the outside, and Jin Suanpan saw a Youlin guard saying expressionlessly: “Come out, our guard captain Gao wants to see you.”
When Jin Suanpan heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he followed Youlinwei obediently.
After a while, Jin Suanpan was brought to a hall where Gao Jin was sitting, and Jin Suanpan’s luggage was placed on the table.
Gao Jin waved his hand and let Youlinwei go down.
After Youlinwei left, Gao Jin looked at Jin Suanpan and said expressionlessly, “Sit down. I have something to ask you.”
When Jin Suanpan heard this, his eyes flickered. For a moment, he didn’t know what Gao Jin was going to do, but he still sat down obediently.
After he sat down, Gao Jin took out a parchment scroll from Jin Suanpan’s luggage.
“Tell me, what is this?” Gao Jin threw the parchment scroll directly to Jin Suanpan.
Chapter 22: The Shock of the Golden Abacus (Old Version)
Jin Suanpan looked at the parchment scroll thrown in front of him. His pupils suddenly shrank and his expression changed constantly. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
The entire hall fell silent, except for the sound of Gao Jin’s fingers tapping on the table and Jin Suanpan’s somewhat rapid breathing.
As Gao Jin tapped lightly, Jin Suanpan’s breathing became more rapid, as if there were invisible hands squeezing his heart tightly, and cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.
This is the pressure that extraordinary people bring to ordinary people. Even Jin Suanpan, a tomb raider who has been fighting for many years, cannot bear it.
“Huh…” Jin Suanpan suddenly took a deep breath, then smiled bitterly: “Sir, this is a map of the royal tombs that I got from an ancient tomb.”
As Jin Suanpan said this, the feeling of pressure that made him feel quickly disappeared, making his body and mind relax, but also feel tired.
Truly, the atmosphere just now was too depressing, making even this tomb-raiding lieutenant who had a master to teach him feel endless pressure, even though his body had reached its limit.
“You are quite honest.” Gao Jin said lightly as he looked at Jin Suanpan. He did not hate these tomb robbers very much. After all, he had seen more evil people living in this world.
Thinking back, he had followed a caravan out of Lijia Village. What he saw and heard along the way caused his worldview to constantly collapse.
Those horse thieves and mountain bandits who burn, kill, and loot are so disgusting that one would want to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
And those foreigners with beastly hearts in human form, handsome, are more disgusting than any tomb robbers.
But now in their Lijia Village, oh, should it be Youlin Town, the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Every day they can see the children playing happily and the people chatting about their daily lives.
This is the life that Gao Jin needs.
When Jin Suanpan heard Gao Jin’s words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not intend to lie to Gao Jin, and judging from the situation, Gao Jin knew about the map.
Or maybe they have the other half of the map. Jin Suanpan suddenly remembered that this map was only half. Although he found this place through the map, he couldn’t find the approximate location.
All we can confirm is that the king’s tomb is within the sphere of influence of Youlin Town.
Thinking of this, Jin Suanpan said, “Sir, do you have the other half of the map?”
“Yes, we do have a map. It should be the other half of this sheepskin map. To be honest, if I hadn’t seen this map, I would have thought that it was a complete map.”
Gao Jin did not hide anything. Anyway, there was no way the tomb robber could escape from his hands.
“I’m going to take you to see someone, come with me.”
After confirming the matter, Gao Jin stood up, said something to the golden abacus, picked up the sheepskin map, and walked out.
Seeing this, Jin Suanpan did not refuse but followed Gao Jin obediently. After all, even if he refused, it would be of no use. So it would be better to cooperate obediently.
At the same time, in Youlin Town.
Lin Mo looked at Zhang Rishan below, expressionless, and said indifferently: “Rishan, what you mean is that the group of monsters have united and want me to give them an explanation, otherwise they will attack Youlin Town.”
“That’s right, my lord. Those ignorant monsters suddenly became tough. Just now, a weasel sent a message, asking us to give an explanation to the monsters we killed, and to separate from us in the future. No one is allowed to enter the forest.”
When Zhang Rishan said this, his eyes flashed with coldness. Asking them to give an explanation was simply ridiculous. If it wasn’t for the purpose of calming down those monsters, he would have even killed the weasel.
“Oh! Give an explanation! What right do they have to ask me to give an explanation to a bunch of beasts! How ridiculous! They actually want to divide and rule with me! What right do they have!”
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled coldly. A terrifying and ominous black aura emanated from his body, and everything around him began to tremble.
The entire hall was like a bottomless abyss, exuding an unsettling atmosphere.
“Gars, go and find out what basis they have to tell me this.” The terrifying black air came and went quickly. Lin Mo’s cold voice sounded again in the hall.
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Gastly emerged from his shadow, called out to Lin Mo twice, and then disappeared through the wall.
“Rishan, tell the Youlin Guards to be careful and prepare for battle. Don’t let those beasts take advantage of them.” After sending Overlord Gastly out to gather information, Lin Mo continued to give orders.
This matter is a bit weird, so it’s better to be careful.
After all, they are just a group of monsters. How can they learn how to divide and rule them? Maybe they have watched too much of the Three Kingdoms.
“Yes, lord, I will give the order.” Zhang Rishan nodded. Although he was still frightened by Lin Mo’s anger just now, he knew that it was not directed at him, so he did not feel too much burden.
Moreover, those monsters suddenly became so tough, they must have something to rely on, so we should be careful.
Then Lin Mo asked Zhang Rishan to go down.
Sitting in the main seat, Lin Mo tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest, thinking about this matter. Originally, he wanted to recruit some monsters to serve him.
For example, the eagle-like monsters in the sky. In Kyushu where there are only a few airplanes, having some flying monsters would be of great benefit to his forces.
After his cleansing, the monsters either fled or died, leaving only some monsters that were unwilling to leave and had never killed anyone.
Originally according to Lin Mo’s idea, he wanted to kill them all. After all, he knew very well that those who were not of his race must have different hearts.
Even humans are like this, let alone monsters?
The reason why Lin Mo left some monsters behind was because he saw a somewhat useless nest in the Nest Mall, called the Beast Slave Nest.
This beast slave’s nest is very special. It is a special type of nest. A kind of elixir can be produced inside. The person who takes it must be an intelligent monster and must have a submissive heart in order for it to be effective.
Otherwise it will be of no use, and the strength cannot exceed that of the master, otherwise it will be of no use at all. That’s why Lin Mo thinks this nest is very useless.
After all, those who have reached the level of a great demon will not have any thoughts of surrender unless they are at their wits’ end.
But it is not completely useless. At least it can subdue some small monsters, such as the small monsters that stay behind.
It was almost successful, but who knew this would happen.
Suddenly, Lin Mo, who was tapping the handrail rhythmically, paused, raised his head and looked outside the door, and saw Gao Jin walking towards him with a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman.
This made Lin Mo raise his eyebrows. Gao Jin’s sudden arrival must be for some important matter, otherwise, with Gao Jin’s personality, he would not come to him if it was not an important matter.
But what exactly happened that required Gao Jin to make a personal trip?
While Lin Mo was thinking, Gao Jin had already walked into the hall with the golden abacus. Gao Jin bowed respectfully and said, “My Lord.”
Jin Suanpan raised his head cautiously and glanced at Lin Mo, but just this one glance shocked him. He did not expect that the master of Youlin Town was so young.
Lin Mo looked at Jin Suanpan. Even from such a distance, Lin Mo could smell the earthy smell on Jin Suanpan, which made a gleam of light flash in Lin Mo’s eyes.
There is such a strong smell of earth. Who else has such a strong smell of earth except the tomb robbers who make a living in the soil.
“Gao Jin, what’s the matter?” Although he had a rough guess, Lin Mo did not say it out loud, but asked instead.
“My lord, this is a tomb raider, also known as Jin Suanpan. He came here to look for the tomb of a king. Here is the map.” Gao Jin told all the information and took out Jin Suanpan’s sheepskin map.
Gao Jin had already found out all this information on the way here.
“Oh.” Lin Mo’s eyes flickered when he heard this. He knew Jin Suanpan. Wasn’t this Zhang Sanlian’s apprentice? He died in the Dragon Ridge Cave.
However, Jin Suanpan is also a powerful figure in the tomb-robbing world, and the map in his hand is only half a map. No wonder I couldn’t see it.
Lin Mo moved his hand, and the map in Gao Jin’s hand was wrapped in black air and flew into his hand. At the same time, he put the sheepskin maps on the table together to form a complete map.
Chapter 23: The Art of War (Old Edition)
After observing for a while, Lin Mo put the map aside and looked at Jin Suanpan. After a while, he said, “Jin Suanpan, do you want to join my Youlin Town? As long as you join my Youlin Town, I can give you a guardian spirit.”
The reason why Lin Mo recruited Jin Suanpan was because Jin Suanpan was also a talent. Regardless of other things, at least his ability in tomb robbing was first-class.
In this way, the task of finding the tomb can be handed over to a professional in the future.
In this way, he would have another way to make money. He would not mind tomb robbing. According to Lin Mo’s thinking, the gold, silver and treasures in the tombs of kings and princes were all looted from the people.
It would be better to dig it out for him and use it to develop his power so that he can save more people.
Moreover, a powerful force needs all kinds of talents, and Jin Suanpan is a special talent.
When Jin Suanpan heard Lin Mo’s words, a look of excitement appeared on his face. In fact, he was very excited by Lin Mo’s words. His body had now reached the limit of the human body.
Over the years, he has traveled far and wide, hoping to find a wild guardian spirit to subdue, so that he can become a transcendent.
But a wild guardian spirit is even more scarce than an awakened Master, and that is what he can find.
Otherwise, the Masters of this world would not be superior to others.
In fact, over the years, there have been tomb-robbing forces that have tried to recruit him, such as the Chen family of Xiangling, but Jin Suanpan refused.
He likes freedom. If he joins the Chen family of Xiangling, he will have to obey the orders of the Chen family. Although the Chen family also has a master, he is just an ordinary master, and his guardian spirit is just a group of pangolins.
So Jin Suanpan refused.
Now that he is being recruited by an extraordinary master, he is also very excited. He has been tired after all these years. If he continues to look for one, he will probably be old by the time.
After sorting out the pros and cons, Jin Suanpan made up his mind. After all, there were very few people recruiting extraordinary masters, and he would be a fool not to agree.
“My lord.” Jin Suanpan bowed his head and shouted.
“Hahaha, okay, Jin Suanpan, the matters in the tomb will be left to you from now on.” Lin Mo laughed loudly when he heard that, then waved his hand and a Gastly emerged from the shadows.
When Jin Suanpan saw this, he felt jealous. This was the extraordinary guardian spirit.
“This is called Gastly, a Gastly guardian spirit that possesses two elements, ghost element and poison element.” Lin Mo saw Jin Suanpan’s expression and said with a smile.
“This will be your companion in life and death from now on.”
Lin Mo waved his hand, and Gastly circled the golden abacus, and then directly disappeared into his body. If one could see through, one could see Gastly floating in the dantian of the golden abacus.
Jin Suanpan only felt his whole body tremble, and then he felt a cold force surging in his dantian. After a while, Jin Suanpan opened his right hand, and a black air emitting a cold breath filled his hand.
In Jin Suanpan’s opinion, this force is extremely powerful.
“Okay, you guys go back. These few days won’t be too peaceful, so you all should be prepared.” Seeing this, Lin Mo asked them to go down, while also reminding them.
“Yes, lord.” The two men looked at each other and clasped their fists.
Then, the two were ready to leave, but suddenly Lin Mo said, “Go find Rishan, he will tell you what to do next.”
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he left.
Gao Jin and Jin Suanpan left with puzzled expressions.
At the same time, in the dark jungle, the Overlord Gastly was moving around in the jungle like a shadow.
Yulin Mountain has towering peaks, dense forests, and lush vegetation.
This mountain lies on the bank of the Yuhe River, winding for dozens of miles. From a distance, the whole mountain looks like a huge piece of jade, majestic and warm.
The night fell quietly, and a thin mist filled the mountain. The mist was like a soft veil, winding around the mountain, giving the mountain a mysterious and slightly strange veil.
The originally quiet forest was now like a zoo, filled with ferocious beasts, all of which were powerful beasts.
There are tigers, the king of the mountains, foxes, cheetahs, and even giant pythons over ten meters long…
Some of them are even mortal enemies, but now they are all gathered in this forest, as if they are waiting for someone.
“Swoosh!!” At this moment, an old woman appeared on a huge rock in an instant, looking at the monsters around her with a pair of eyes flashing green light.
At the same time, two motley tails were fluttering behind the old woman. It was obvious that this was a motley fox, and also a two-tailed fox.
It has the same strength as the white fox that Lin Mo and Simu killed.
This old fox is actually the elder of the white fox. During this period, she went out to meet an old friend. Unexpectedly, when she came back, her most outstanding granddaughter was killed.
What was even more unacceptable to her was that all her other descendants were also killed. This made her want to crush all the sinners with her hands, but she was not a fool. Even her granddaughter, who was at the same level as her, was killed. She did not think that the enemy was a weakling.
So she needs helpers, that is, a group of cannon fodder. Even if she can’t kill Lin Mo, she can at least make him feel heartbroken.
Based on her observations during this period, the man who killed her granddaughter was very dedicated to the development of his power and was obviously an ambitious person.
Old foxes know the most about ambitious people. What they care most about is the development of their power.
Thinking of this, the old fox’s eyes flashed with green light and a vicious look, then a sad and angry look appeared on his old face, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
“As long as we unite, those humans will have no way to deal with us. As long as we drive them back, we will be able to resume our previous lives, free and unfettered.”
“This will be our war for freedom. We are the spirits of the forest. We are free and determined to fight against humans.”
As the old fox’s hoarse voice rang out, the beasts below all responded.
“Roar!! Roar!!”
“Ahhhhh!!”
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!!”
However, some animals were not stupid and just watched coldly. Some monsters originally did not want to participate, but the old fox suppressed them with absolute strength.
Anyone who does not respond will die, so there is no choice but to follow.
“Okay, quiet down!” A satisfied smile appeared on the old fox’s aged face, quieting down the cannon fodder below.
As the old fox’s voice fell, many monsters quieted down and looked at the old fox.
“Next, you follow me to raid Youlin Town and catch those humans off guard.” The old fox said coldly with a sinister look on his face.
The reason why she sent the weasel to notify people was just a smokescreen. She knew that it was impossible for humans to agree to her conditions.
After all, humans have a saying that has been passed down from ancient times to the present: those who are not of my race must have different hearts!
She just wanted those humans to think that she would not launch an attack tonight, so that her goal would be achieved.
What she didn’t know was that it surged in a shadow and then quickly disappeared.
It was the Overlord Gastly who came to gather information.
Next, the old fox began to plan where to launch the attack. It can only be said that he is worthy of being an old fox who has lived for hundreds of years and even knows some military tactics.
Time flies, and an hour later, Overlord Gastly returned to the Lin Mansion.
Lin Mo, who was staring into the night, suddenly turned his head and saw Gastly emerging from the shadows. Without Lin Mo asking, Gastly told him everything that had just happened.
“Yiheihei… Yi…”
Lin Mo listened to Gastly’s words, his eyes flashing with coldness, and he said coldly: “You even used the art of war. You are indeed worthy of being an old fox who has lived for hundreds of years.”
He also didn’t expect that the monsters would actually release smoke bombs to sneak into Chen Cang and attack them by surprise. It was such a good plan.
“Gars, go inform Zhang Rishan and the others to come over.”
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, the six Gastlys left quickly.
Chapter 24 Arrangement (Old Version)
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Suddenly, a gust of wind carrying moisture blew past Lin Mo, and his short black hair was gently lifted by the wind. His eyes were calm and indifferent, staring at the night without looking away.
The dark clouds in the sky blocked out the faint moonlight and the starry sky. Only a few stars were still twinkling stubbornly, and the whole earth seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss.
“Gugugugugu…”
“Squeak…squeak…squeak…”
In the mountains and forests, the sound of cicadas chirping one after another, uninterruptedly, and from time to time there are one or two cries of night owls, the sound is really creepy.
“Boom—”
The sky, which was gradually darkening, was suddenly broken by a loud thunder. In an instant, the bright light illuminated the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a light drizzle began to fall, and the sky seemed to be covered by a layer of gray leaden clouds, and the whole world seemed to be left with only black and white.
Lin Mo slowly stretched out his right hand to catch the drops of rain, muttering to himself, “It really is about to rain.”
“Yihehe… Yihehe…” The Overlord Gastly also called out twice, his big eyes flashing with cold light. He would not let go of anyone who dared to be afraid of his master.
At the same time, Zhang Rishan, Gao Jin, Gao De, Zhang Wen, Li Lao, and Jin Suanpan all rushed to Lin Mo after receiving Gastly’s notification.
Lin Mo was already sitting in the hall at this time, resting with his eyes closed, waiting for Zhang Rishan and others to arrive.
Half an hour later, Zhang Rishan and six others hurried over, and when they saw Lin Mo, they all bowed and greeted him.
Lin Mo waved his hand and told them not to be polite. At the same time, he told them all the information that Overlord Gastly had found out.
Listening to their lord’s words, Zhang Rishan and the other six people all looked solemn, especially Zhang Rishan. He had not expected that the group of monsters would actually play tricks on him.
They also threw a smoke bomb for him, making him think that the monsters would not attack until two days or one day later, but he didn’t expect that they would actually want to sneak attack them tonight.
“Since that’s the case, my lord, let’s play the game of waiting for the rabbit. We will send the Youlin Guards to ambush at the necessary places for going down the mountain, and kill half of them before they get down the mountain.” Gao Jin spoke first in a cold voice.
Gao Jin’s tone was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes flashed with a murderous cold light. Since those beasts didn’t know what was good for them, he would kill them all.
“Okay, let’s do as you said. Gao Jin, you will be responsible for Yuhe Village, Rishan will be responsible for Taoyuan Village, and Jin Suanpan, you will go to Baiyun Village with Li Ning.”
“Gao De, you are responsible for the defense of Youlin Town, Zhang Wen, you are responsible for logistics, and Li Lao, you are responsible for comforting the people.”
Lin Mo thought for a while, then gave the order to arrange the matters of Zhang Rishan and others.
“Yes, lord.” Zhang Rishan and the other six looked at each other and said in unison.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo asked Jin Suanpan, Zhang Rishan, and Gao De to send out nine Gastlys each. In the end, only the Overlord Gastly and an ordinary Gastly were left by Lin Mo’s side.
After the six people left, Lin Mo returned to the third floor. Since those were the saboteurs, the mastermind would definitely come looking for him.
In that case, he just had to wait.
………………
Following Lin Mo’s order, Zhang Rishan and others quickly rushed to their respective posts.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
Drops of rain fell on everyone’s cheeks. !
Raindrops began to fall from the sky. Although the rain was not heavy, it soaked Zhang Rishan and others.
But they didn’t care about all these and just kept running.
The dirt road was covered with yellow mud. The green plants on both sides of the road and the dead leaves on the ground were all wet. Horses galloped on the dirt road, splashing mud.
It would normally take half an hour to get there, but with the whips of Zhang Rishan and his two companions, it only took a dozen minutes to reach the village they were responsible for.
As Zhang Rishan arrived at Taoyuan Village, he soon came to the Youlinwei camp stationed in Taoyuan Village. The two Youlinwei who were on guard, at Zhang Rishan’s order, rang the gong for an emergency assembly.
“Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!!”
Amid the rapid sounds of gongs, the Youlin Guards in each tent quickly dressed, and there were loud shouts.
“Hurry up! Emergency assembly!”
“Faster!! Faster!”
“Emergency assembly!! Get up quickly!!”
In just a few minutes, all three hundred Youlin Guards gathered together and stood in a neat and orderly manner in the training ground. The three hundred Youlin Guards all had firm expressions and looked at Zhang Rishan without looking away.
“A group of monsters want to attack our Youlin Town. The lord has ordered that traps be set up and ambushes be set up at the place where people must pass when going down the mountain, so that those beasts can’t even get down the mountain.”!
Zhang Rishan didn’t waste any words and just told everything.
As soon as Zhang Rishan said this, the three hundred Youlin Guards immediately said in unison: “Yes!!”
“Let’s go!” Zhang Rishan waved his hand and shouted.
Following Zhang Rishan’s order, the three hundred ghost guards quickly took up their weapons and left the camp.
Not only in the camp of Taoyuan Village, but also in Yuhe Village, Gao Jin led four hundred Youlin Guards and began to set traps.
In the camp of Baiyun Village, Jin Suanpan watched all this in shock. It only took a few minutes for three hundred people to gather together. Their uniform movements and their spirit shocked Jin Suanpan.
He had never seen such an elite army, such movements, and such spirit. He had traveled far and wide and seen many armies, but none of them could match the spirit of the Youlin Guards.
Even the big forces don’t have such elite troops.
“Start running!” But no matter how shocked Jin Suanpan was, following Li Ning’s order, the three hundred Youlin Guards ran in unison.
“Brother, let’s go too.” Looking at the Youlin Guards who were setting off, Li Ning patted the shocked Jin Abacus and reminded them.
Li Ning felt proud when he saw Jin Suanpan’s shocked expression.
But now is not the time to show off, Li Ning also hurried to catch up, and ten Gastlys appeared and disappeared closely behind him.
Seeing this, Jin Suanpan hurriedly followed. This was his first time working for Lin Mo, and he couldn’t afford to suffer any losses, otherwise he would be embarrassed to stay in Youlin Town.
In fact, Lin Mo didn’t know anything about training soldiers, but he knew how to train their discipline and obedience.
Lin Mo directly took out the physical training outline for new recruits that he had checked before.
The main subjects include: basic physical training: including running, sit-ups, and pull-ups.
Physical training also includes 5 km cross-country, 100 m sprint, frog jumps, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, squats, etc.
It includes 200 meters of rope climbing pole, 200 meters of comprehensive physical fitness competition, fire fighting obstacles, 5 kilometers of cross-country with weights, and resistance training.
Tactical training: including formation training, including standing at attention, at ease, turning on the spot, saluting, marching in step, marching, running, standing at attention with legs apart, etc.
Special training: Bajiquan and Baji spear.
After all, we live in a world with extraordinary power, so some things still need to be changed, but thoughts also need to be guided. !
So Lin Mo assigned an instructor to each camp.
The main duties of military instructors include the following aspects: political and ideological work, responsible for the political and ideological education of officers and soldiers, ensuring that all officers and soldiers have firm ideals and beliefs and maintain ideological firmness and purity.
Organize and implement Lin Mo’s policies and guidelines, and develop and educate soldiers to learn literacy.
There is also psychological counseling for soldiers, which pays attention to the mental state of soldiers, provides psychological counseling, and helps soldiers solve psychological problems.
It was because Lin Mo wrote down this basic training method that the Youlin Guards became so elite in just five months.
Thinking back to the time when Lin Mo took out this basic method of military training, Gao Jin and the others looked at Lin Mo as if he were a god.
Gao Jin and others did not expect that Lin Mo had such a good way of training soldiers at the age of ten. It simply amazed them.
Chapter 25: Fighting (Old Version)
On a small road more than thirty miles away from Youlin Town, an old monk and a young girl were walking on a muddy path.
They both held a green banana leaf above their heads. The girl frowned slightly and complained, “Why did it rain so suddenly? It’s so annoying.”
Obviously, the sudden rain made the girl full of complaints.
This is understandable. It is normal for girls to dislike such weather. After all, the current road conditions are really terrible.
“Qingqing, this is spiritual practice. The road of life cannot always be smooth sailing.” The old monk smiled and said softly.
That’s right, the old man and the young man are Master Ikkyu and Qingqing.
Since they left Lijia Village, they have been traveling around Kyushu. Half a year passed in a flash, and Master Ikkyu took Qingqing back to his place of practice.
After all, he had been away for half a year and it was time for him to go back.
Master Ikkyu can be described as an ascetic monk in Buddhism, and Qingqing is an orphan he adopted from outside. Seeing that she had a connection with him, he accepted her as a registered disciple and kept her by his side.
Perhaps because of the rain, the water vapor in the mountains was particularly dense, and the deeper you went into the forest, the thicker the fog became.
The thick fog blurred Ichikyu and Qingqing’s vision. Although it was not so dark that they could not see their hands in front of them, their visual range was shrinking. In the end, they could only see things three to five meters away.
Master Ikkyu’s expression was slightly solemn, and it felt as if he had cataracts, with everything around him appearing white.
Being in the deep mountains and encountering heavy fog is extremely dangerous.
However, he was skilled and courageous, so he was not afraid. He just reminded Qingqing: “Qingqing, you must follow the master closely, otherwise it will be bad if you get lost here.”
“I understand, Master.” Qingqing glanced at the white mist around her and followed her master closely.
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the distance. The rumbling thunder came like a surging tide. Qingqing was startled by the unpreparedness. Her heart suddenly tightened and she almost couldn’t suppress the scream that was about to come out of her mouth.
When Ikkyu heard the thunder, his brows slightly frowned, and an ominous premonition inexplicably arose in his heart, as if a haze was quietly gathering in his heart.
“Qingqing, let’s speed up.” Ikkiu said, and then pulled Qingqing to speed up.
Although Qingqing didn’t know why her master did this, she didn’t ask any questions and quickened her pace to follow closely.
Time flies, and before I knew it, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
When Ikkiu and his companions were not far from Taoyuan Village, they heard shouts of killing and the roars of wild beasts, as well as occasional explosions.
“Not good!” Ikkyu’s eyes flashed with golden light, and he saw the battle not far away. His expression changed drastically, he exclaimed in shock, and quickly said something to Qingqing.
“Qingqing, find a place to hide.”
After Ikkyu finished speaking, he rushed towards the battlefield like a gust of wind.
Seeing this, Qingqing wanted to help, but looking at the commotion not far away, she knew it was not something she could get involved in, so she found a place to hide.
At this time in the battlefield, the shouts of the Youlin Guards continued.
“Form a formation! Surround and kill the remaining beasts!”
“Kill them! We can’t let these beasts rush down the mountain!”
The collision of the ice machine and the flesh, and the Gastlys’ constant use of skills, such as poison!! Shadow Ball!! Evil Wave!! Will-O-Wisp!! etc., constantly attacked the beasts.
At the same time, he also assists the Youlin Guards from time to time.
After all, although the Youlin Guards are elite, among these hundreds of ferocious beasts, there are many powerful monsters, and these cannot be dealt with by an ordinary Youlin Guard alone.
Therefore, they need the help of Gastly and others. Although these Gastly are only of intermediate strength, they are much stronger than these powerful monsters.
In a nest, only the Overlord Gastly is as powerful as Li Hao, the others are just Gastly of ordinary strength.
However, it is also stronger than the average powerful monster.
If these monsters had not driven down a large number of ordinary beasts to join the battle, Zhang Rishan and his men might have been able to resolve the situation long ago.
After all, there are not many powerful beasts left after these days of cleaning.
“Crack!!!” Zhang Rishan kicked a two-meter-tall, muscular gorilla with great force, causing the gorilla’s chest to dent.
“Kill those monsters first!!” Zhang Rishan rolled with the force, shouted loudly, and then appeared in front of a wild boar that was almost four meters long like a black gust of wind.
Zhang Rishan swung his arm, and the long sword flashed with a cold light. The sword was fast, fierce and accurate, and went straight to the wild boar’s neck.
You know, Zhang Rishan is already extremely powerful, and the long sword in his hand is blessed with ghost elements, which makes the long sword extremely sharp.
The moment the blade touched the wild boar’s leather armor, it was as easy as cutting into tender fruits and vegetables, and the wild boar’s head was chopped off with one stroke.
Instantly, pig blood gushed out, hot blood splashed everywhere. Zhang Rishan’s clothes were instantly stained with a deep red color. The wild boar died almost in the blink of an eye, and its huge body fell straight to the ground.
After Zhang Rishan dealt with a pig demon, he was about to get up and continue killing the others, but at this moment, Zhang Rishan felt a chill on his back.
Without thinking, he rolled over and dodged the sneak attack. Just as Zhang Rishan dodged, he saw a sharp claw flashing with cold light whizzing past, leaving a long claw mark on the ground.
Zhang Rishan took a closer look and saw clearly what had attacked him. It was a leopard, with a slender body, like a smooth golden line, and its fur was dazzling golden, with black markings like copper coins, and its physique was obviously stronger than that of an ordinary leopard.
With a body length of nearly two meters, it is comparable to a tiger.
A long tail was swaying gently behind it, and its eyes were fixed on Zhang Rishan, just like a killer staring at his prey, with sharp and cold eyes.
Suddenly, the leopard roared at Zhang Rishan. The roar was like thunder, shaking people’s hearts and livers.
It suddenly jumped high and pounced towards Zhang Rishan, and its huge claws whistled and slapped Zhang Rishan directly.
A cold light flashed in Zhang Rishan’s eyes, and without saying anything, he swung his fist and punched forward.
In an instant, the man and the beast collided with their fists and claws.
Zhang Rishan only felt a huge force like a tidal wave rushing towards him, and the whole person slid backwards quickly like an arrow from a bow.
At the same time, the leopard was also shocked and retreated repeatedly, staggering.
One man and one beast, actually fought evenly.
“Monster! Stop being so presumptuous!”
“Powerful Vajra Palm!!” Just when Zhang Rishan was about to take action, a loud shout was heard, and a force as strong as a gust of wind appeared directly in front of the leopard.
A huge hand that seemed to be made of gold suddenly slapped the leopard’s head at such an extremely fast speed that even the leopard, which was famous for its speed, was unable to react at all.
With a loud “bang!”, the leopard’s originally ferocious head exploded instantly like a ripe watermelon.
“Master!!” Zhang Rishan shouted after he saw who was coming. He didn’t expect that Master Ikkyu would come at this time.
“Donor, please get rid of these evil beasts first.” Master Yixiu replied to Zhang Rishan, and began to move quickly. Every time he moved to a place, a monster died in his hands.
Like an angry Vajra, drops of blood splattered on the tattered monk’s robes.
Although Master Ikkyu was merciful, he also knew what was important. It was obvious that these monsters wanted to go down the mountain and attack the village below, which was already a way to their death.
Therefore, Ikkyu showed no mercy and his attacks were not necessarily fatal.
After all, Ikkyu’s strength is one level higher than Zhang Rishan’s, and killing these first-level monsters is as easy as slaughtering a chicken.
After a while, with the help of Ikkiu, all the monsters were killed.
Without the monsters to suppress them, the ordinary beasts fled in all directions.
Chapter 26 Huo Mianxi (Old Version)
Seeing this, the Youlin Guards wanted to give chase, but were stopped by Zhang Rishan.
“Don’t chase them anymore. Send half of the brothers to take back the injured brothers. The rest will follow me to support other places.”
“Yes! Captain!” The Youlin Guards present immediately responded.
Although it was dangerous this time, fortunately no one died.
Soon, the uninjured Youlin Guards were divided into two teams. One team took the injured Youlin Guards back to Taoyuan Camp for treatment, and the others rushed to Baiyun Village. At the same time, Zhang Rishan asked them to take five Gastlys with them.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Rishan thanked Yixiu: “Master Yixiu, thank you very much this time.”
To be honest, this time I really have to thank Ikkyu. If he hadn’t acted in time, I’m afraid some of his three hundred Youlin Guards would have died.
“No need, donor. I wonder what happened here?” Ikkyu wiped the blood off his face, and his kind look turned into a murderous one.
“Master, this matter cannot be explained clearly right now. I need to go to other places for support.” Zhang Rishan said hurriedly after hearing this, then he jumped on his horse and gave instructions to the Youlin Guard who was leading the horse over.
“You entertained the master well.”
“Master, I will take my leave now.”
Zhang Rishan said something to Master Ikkyu, then he pulled his horse back and left quickly.
“Master, please come with me. I will arrange a place for you to stay.” At this time, the Youlin Guards assigned by Zhang Rishan said respectfully to Master Ikkyu.
Just now, Master Ikkyu’s strength and methods were recognized by the Youlin Guards. The violent slap made them admire him very much, one slap for each kid.
Ikkyu looked at the boy in front of him who was only eighteen or nineteen years old. His body was covered in blood and mud, and he looked extremely miserable. However, his eyes were extremely bright. He had such eyes after traveling all over the country over the years.
It has never been seen among civilians, not even among soldiers of powerful forces.
They are all numb and confused about life, as if there is no meaning in life.
Ikkyu saw hope for life in the eyes of this young Youlinwei.
“Master, are you okay?” At this moment, Qingqing’s voice reached Master Ikkyu’s ears, and Master Ikkyu brought his thoughts back.
Turning around, he saw Qingqing running towards him cautiously. He was frightened when he saw the corpses of wild beasts around him.
Those beasts were taller than ordinary beasts, and some of their claws were bigger than her head. She was afraid that one claw would cost her head.
“Qingqing, please help bandage the wounded.” Master Yixiu looked at his apprentice, gave him some instructions, and then said to Youlinwei beside him: “Donor, can you give me a horse? I want to help too.”
“Okay, Master, please wait a moment. I’ll bring a horse over right away.” Upon hearing this, You Linwei happily went to get the horse. He would not refuse such a powerful helper.
Qingqing watched the wounded being carried away one by one. Some of them had large claw marks on their chests, and Qingqing could even see the bones.
Some of their hands were twisted and had all kinds of injuries.
So Qingqing couldn’t help but ask: “Master, what happened here?”
“It’s hard to explain this matter right away. Qingqing, you go back with them to help bandage the wounds. I’ll go check out other places.” Ikkiu didn’t know what to say for a moment. He could only give instructions and then stepped forward and got on his horse.
When the horse’s butt was spanked, it cried out in pain and quickly went to other villages.
Afterwards, Qingqing followed the other Youlin Guards back to the Taoyuan Village camp.
At the same time, battles broke out in both Baiyun Village and Yuhe Village. For a moment, it could be said that the villagers in all three villages knew what was happening.
The doctors in the village also gathered in the Youlinwei camp in the three villages to bandage the wounds of the injured Youlinwei, and some women also helped to make fire.
In the inn in Yuhe Village, some merchants were awakened. Merchants living on the upper floors could see the fighting, and the shouts and screams could be heard from time to time.
The roar of the wild beasts also made these businessmen terrified, wondering what was going on.
But none of them wanted to join in the fun. These businessmen were smart, but they knew that curiosity kills the cat.
So they are all waiting and watching. From what we can see now, this incident will not affect the village. If there is really danger, the villagers would have retreated to Youlin Town long ago, so they are not too worried.
In one of the houses, there was a woman with long, shiny black hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her eyebrows were slender and soft, just like new willows in early spring.
Her eyes were bright and charming, her teeth were white as snow, her nose was round and sleek, as if it was carved from white jade, her thin and small red lips were like delicate petals in spring, and her face was a delicate oval, like a beauty walking out of a painting.
She was wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam that fit her body curves tightly, showing her mature charm to the fullest. The whole person combined together was a beautiful and mature charm.
A pair of charming eyes half narrowed, staring at the battlefield in the distance.
“Knock, knock, knock!” But at this moment, there was a series of rapid knocks on the door, causing the woman to frown and say with her red lips: “Come in.”
“Miss.” A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed as a maid, walked in, looked at the person standing in front of the window, and called out.
“Well, is there anything wrong?” the woman asked without turning her head, her voice as clear as a night oriole.
“Miss, Butler Huo asked me to come over and ask you if you want to…” But before the maid could finish, the woman interrupted and said, “No need to prepare anything. It’s already over.”
While they were talking, the shouting and screaming on the battlefield had stopped, and it was obvious that the battle was over.
“By the way, let’s go to Youlin Town tomorrow to see what kind of person the extraordinary master here is.” The woman spoke again.
She was very interested in the master here. The reason she came here was to take a look and also to hide from her family.
Huo Mianxi didn’t want to become Lian Yan’s victim.
That’s right, this person is a member of the Huo family and also the eldest daughter of the Huo family.
“I hope I won’t disappoint you.” Huo Mianxi withdrew her gaze and said quietly.
At that time, Youlin Town was immersed in a quiet night. Gao Deli stood quietly on the city wall, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring straight into the endless night.
The Youlin Guards, each of them agile and armed, patrolled the town non-stop. They had serious expressions, firm steps, and vigilant eyes scanning every corner around them, as if any slight movement would not escape their eyes.
However, these Youlin guards did not know that two dark shadows, like ghosts, quietly sneaked into the town. These two dark shadows were like ghosts in the dark night, moving at an extremely fast speed, and arrived at the Lin Mansion in the blink of an eye.
After arriving at the Lin Mansion, the two shadows carefully observed the surroundings. They saw that there were only two guards on duty in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion.
The two black shadows looked at each other, and a cold light flashed in their eyes instantly, like the cold light that suddenly appeared in an ice cave, revealing a chilling aura.
Immediately afterwards, the two black shadows flashed and seemed to merge into the darkness, disappearing without a trace, leaving behind only a space that was eerily silent.
When the two black shadows appeared again, they had already sneaked into the Lin Mansion.
Two dark shadows appeared and disappeared in the rainy night, approaching the only house in the yard like ghosts.
After a while, when the two black shadows were about to enter the house, two sounds of cutting through the air reached the ears of the two black shadows.
“Swoosh, swoosh!” Two shadow balls shot out from the darkness and went straight towards the two uninvited guests.
“Tsk… it still doesn’t work.” A hoarse voice came faintly in the rainy night. At the same time, a piece of silk, like a flexible whip, whipped straight at the two shadow balls.
“BOOM!! BOOM!!”
The two explosions woke up half of the town.
Gao De, who was on the city wall, heard this and ordered, “Come with me to the lord, and the rest of you should comfort the people.”
Afterwards, Gao De left with a team of a hundred people.
Chapter 27 Insidious (Old Version)
At this moment, in the Lin Mansion, Lin Mo slowly walked out from the darkness. His eyes radiated purple light, staring coldly at the two figures.
The Overlord Gui Siqi was emitting an inky black aura, floating quietly beside Lin Mo.
“Tsk… You’re too young.” The old man in the yellow robe, with a shifty look, looked at Lin Mo in amazement.
At the same time, he did not forget to tease the old fox next to him.
“Old Fox, I told you not to use a sneak attack. How could a sneak attack succeed when your granddaughter’s Master can be killed?”
In his opinion, such a person is not a careless person.
“I’m just trying it. If it succeeds, we won’t have to spend so much effort.” The old fox was not angry. He stared at Lin Mo with a pair of resentful fox eyes, as if he wanted to skin Lin Mo alive.
“Then let’s get rid of him quickly. I have to go back and give birth to little weasels.”
“And don’t forget what you promised to give me.”
The old man in yellow robe suddenly gave a reminder.
“Don’t worry, as long as you help me kill him, he won’t be missing.”
Lin Mo listened to the two old guys talking incoherently, as if they had him in their hands. This made Lin Mo feel amused.
“You two old guys are almost dead. I really don’t know who gave you the confidence. Could it be Liang Jingru who gave you the confidence?”
Hearing Lin Mo’s mocking words, the two old monsters looked cold. The old man in yellow robe smiled grimly and said coldly: “Young man, don’t be too angry!”
Hearing this, Lin Mo grinned: “If you are not angry, can you still be called a young man?”
“Swoosh!” But at the moment when Lin Mo spoke, the old man in yellow robe suddenly exerted force with his legs. The huge force acted on the floor, and immediately the floor was shaken and cracks appeared.
He stretched out his sharp claws, which cut through the air and rain and grabbed Lin Mo’s chest swiftly.
Although he was attacked suddenly, Lin Mo’s reaction speed was also very fast. He stretched out his right hand quickly, as fast as lightning, and grabbed the wrist of the yellow-robed old man in an instant, and then suddenly broke it.
However, in the blink of an eye, the old man in yellow robe suddenly opened his mouth and blew out a puff of yellow smoke. Lin Mo’s pupils shrank sharply, and he pulled the old man in yellow robe over and hit him hard with his knee.
As expected, the old man in yellow robe was knocked flying and fell heavily in front of the old fox.
At the same time, Lin Mo used this force to fly backwards and successfully avoided the yellow smoke.
The yellow smoke that just appeared was an instinctive skill of the weasel. The function of this skill was to make people feel confused or even faint.
That’s why Lin Mo dodged quickly. He didn’t know if he could withstand it, so he had to be careful.
At the same time, Lin Mo did not forget to give the order: “Gars, double Shadow Ball!”
“Hehehe!” The Overlord Gastly sneered, and two shadow balls wrapped in an ominous aura blasted straight towards the two old men at the speed of cutting through the air.
But the two old guys were not pushovers either. The old man in yellow robe who was just kicked away by Lin Mo rolled on the ground and dodged directly, while the old fox was even simpler.
His figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
“Little devil! Go to hell!” At the same time, the old fox’s figure left a trail of afterimages and shouted loudly with resentment.
The sharp claws are shining coldly, full of vigor and power. They usually lie dormant, but once they attack, they will use all their strength.
This claw, carrying with it a whistling gust of wind, would surely burst Lin Mo’s head like a watermelon if it got a firm hold.
However, Lin Mo was not a wooden man who could not react and would not allow her to attack him at will. Just when the claws were about to touch him, Lin Mo did not retreat but bravely moved forward. The terrifying black air gushed out from Lin Mo’s body.
Suddenly, out of the black fog, a poisonous python like a sharp arrow rushed out with its fangs bared and claws brandished. The sharp fangs in its mouth went straight to bite the old fox’s limbs and head.
“Not good!” The old fox was horrified, but at this moment, even if she wanted to escape, she had no way to do it. She saw that many poisonous pythons had surrounded her, and she was in a desperate situation with no way to escape.
“Ahhh!!!”
A fierce light suddenly flashed across the old fox’s eyes full of resentment. Immediately, it raised its head and let out a long howl towards the sky. In an instant, a terrifying demonic aura surged out of its body.
Its already old body began to grow red and gray hair at a very fast rate.
The wrinkled face quickly changed into the shape of a fox’s head, and then the limbs also began to change. After a short while, it turned into a mixed-hair fox that was two meters tall and more than four meters long.
“Crack! Crack!” No matter how the situation changed, countless poisonous pythons transformed from black aura bit the old fox’s limbs viciously.
A creepy sound of bones breaking and rubbing was heard, as if the bones were being bitten through alive.
Lin Mo could even see bone fragments between the poisonous python’s sharp fangs.
“ah!”
The severe pain made the old fox’s face extremely distorted, and he let out a hysterical scream.
At the same time, there are horrible toxins that constantly corrode the fur, making a “sizzling” sound.
But although the old fox screamed, there was pain in its eyes, as if it was completely controlled, but there was a ruthless flash in the depths of its eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Mo was not happy, but instead had a bad feeling.
The old man in yellow robe who was fighting with Gastly confirmed his suspicion. The old man in yellow robe who was fighting with Gastly was shocked and started cursing.
“Damn it!! You want to die!! Don’t drag me into this!”
Afterwards, the old man in the yellow robe turned into a yellow lightning and ran out of the yard madly.
Lin Mo was horrified when he saw this scene. He saw endless black mist continuously pouring out of his body. The black mist immediately changed and turned into a giant python with a body one meter wide and about twenty meters long.
The giant python pounced on the old fox, bit it tightly, and then threw it towards the sky with all its strength.
“Swoosh!” In an instant, the old fox’s body flew towards the sky like a cannonball. At the same time, the old fox’s desperate roar was heard.
“No!!!”
“Boom!” Instantly, a deafening explosion sounded. The terrifying aftermath of the explosion seemed to have infinite power and turned directly into a gust of wind.
The strong wind roared past like an invisible giant hand, violently tearing apart the surrounding clouds and causing them to disappear without a trace.
Even the originally drizzling rain was not spared. It was mercilessly blown away by the strong wind and disappeared into the air.
“Damn! I almost got tricked by them. They’re all a bunch of old bastards.” The black poisonous python quickly dissipated, revealing Lin Mo who was still in shock. At the same time, Lin Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed in his heart.
If the old man hadn’t escaped just now, Lin Mo would not have thought that this old fox was so cruel and actually wanted to die with him.
The power of the self-explosion just now is no weaker than some missiles in his previous life. With his current strength, he is probably half-crippled, with missing limbs for sure, if not dead.
Fortunately, the old man was also afraid of death, so when he saw that things were not going well, he ran away directly, and he did not forget to shout, as if he was specifically reminding Lin Mo.
Glancing at the messy yard, Lin Mo muttered to himself: “It seems that I am still not sinister enough. I need to be more sinister.”
Just now, both the old fox and the old weasel were very insidious, using all kinds of shady tricks. He is still too young and needs to learn from them.
At the same time, Gao De also pushed the door open with his men, and was relieved to see that Lin Mo was fine.
The explosion just now really scared them so much that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. They were afraid that something might happen to Lin Mo.
“Let’s clean up.” Lin Mo looked at Gao De and his group and said happily.
The reason why Gao De and the others came just now was also arranged by Lin Mo. With Gao De and the others’ strength, they were not suitable to participate in battles at the big demon level.
They are just here to serve as food, and he doesn’t want Gao De and the others to suffer unnecessary casualties.
Chapter 28 The Old Fox’s Treasure (Old Version)
In Yuhe Mountain, the old man in the yellow robe was fleeing in a panic, cursing.
“Damn it! That damn old woman! Even if she wanted to die, she didn’t have to drag me along with her.”
But suddenly the old man in yellow robe thought of something, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said sinisterly: “But it’s better to die, those treasures will be his, and all of them.”
You know, the only reason he came to help was because the old fox gave him a reward that he couldn’t refuse, otherwise he wouldn’t come to help.
Thinking of the old fox’s treasure, the old man in yellow robe ran even faster.
In the complex jungle, it was like a flash of yellow lightning, constantly shuttling through the jungle, and the strong wind blowing past it bent the leaves and long grass on both sides.
And behind him, a shadow as black as ink was following the old man in yellow robe. This was none other than the Overlord Gastly, and this was the one Lin Mo asked him to follow.
The Overlord Gastly emerged from the shadows, glanced at the back of the old man in yellow robe, dived into the shadows again, and continued to follow.
Soon, the old man in the yellow robe came to a cave. The cave was only about one person tall, and the light inside was dim and dark. Due to the damp air, there was a musty smell.
With the help of lightning, from outside the cave entrance, the size of this cave is about half the size of a basketball court, and the interior is empty. The cave wall is densely covered with numerous holes like honeycombs.
Presumably, many of these holes are connected to the outside world, so spots of light can come in, allowing people to barely see things.
A gust of wind blew, and the air shuttled back and forth in the hole, swirling and colliding, making a humming sound. The sound was sometimes like a low whisper, sometimes like a shrill scream, and sometimes like a sad cry, revealing a somewhat eerie and scary feeling.
However, the old man in yellow robe didn’t care at all. Instead, he showed an excited smile and was about to step into the cave.
“Buzz!!!” But at this moment, an evil wave, emitting ominous black waves, went directly towards the old man in yellow robe.
“Damn it!” The old man in yellow robe was startled at first and cursed inwardly. He didn’t expect that he was being followed, and according to the current situation, the master should be fine.
Otherwise, this guardian spirit would have died long ago and would not have followed him here.
At the same time, he did not forget to dodge. Just as he dodged, the evil wave hit the molten wall directly, causing cracks to appear on the wall instantly.
In an instant, gravel flew everywhere and dust filled the sky.
“Swoosh!” But at this moment, a long spear as black as ink, like a black lightning, came towards the head of the old man in yellow robe with a sound of breaking through the air.
This made the old man in yellow robe feel scared. Without thinking, he tilted his head, but it was too late. The black spear pierced his head directly.
“Puchi!” The sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh was heard, and red blood spilled directly on the ground, accompanied by a scream.
“ah!!”
But with just a scream, the old man in yellow robe suddenly turned into a palm-sized weasel and disappeared in just a blink of an eye.
“He’s so decisive that he just ran away.” At this time, Lin Mo walked out of the darkness and said helplessly.
Originally he wanted to kill it with one blow, but he didn’t expect that the weasel would dodge so quickly and only pierce half of his face.
In the end, he still ran away, but since he had already run away, he didn’t need to think too much about it. Overlord Gastly floated over.
“Gass, let’s go in and see what treasure that old fox has.”
Lin Mo patted the big head of Overlord Gastly, and then entered the molten cave. As soon as he entered the molten cave, Lin Mo smelled a body odor, which made Lin Mo frown.
However, Lin Mo just frowned and continued to go deeper into the cave.
When he reached the deepest part, Lin Mo only saw a stone bed, a stone table and stone chairs. In a corner, there were several wooden boxes. Lin Mo walked straight over.
Looking at the dusty box, Lin Mo waved his hand and the dust was blown away. Then Lin Mo opened it without hesitation.
Suddenly a box of gold appeared in his eyes, which made Lin Mo’s eyes flash with surprise, and then he hurriedly opened the other boxes.
“God is really helping me. I didn’t expect that this old fox had so much gold and silver in his cave. I don’t know where the old fox got it from.”
Lin Mo looked at three boxes of silver, two boxes of gold ingots, and one box that contained what looked like antiques. Even though Lin Mo was not a greedy person, his heart beat faster.
With these, Youlin Town’s finances will no longer be in short supply.
Afterwards, Lin Mo put all six boxes into the storage space.
Then, Lin Mo continued to search. He didn’t believe that the old weasel would come here with just some treasures. There must be something more precious.
“Garsis, see if there is a secret room.” At the same time, Lin Mo did not forget to ask Gastly to help find it as well.
“Hehehe…” The Overlord Gastly nodded, called out with its big head, and started searching, occasionally shuttling into the wall.
Lin Mo also knocked on the wall from time to time, looking for a secret room.
Unconsciously, half an hour had passed. Lin Mo, who was knocking on the door, suddenly heard Gastly’s voice. Lin Mo looked up and saw Gastly emerging from above his head.
“Oh, it’s actually up there. It’s really good at hiding.” Lin Mo was immediately surprised when he heard what Gastly said.
Led by the Overlord Gastly, Lin Mo came to a place. Lin Mo looked up and saw a slightly raised small stone about four or five meters from the ground, which just blocked his sight. No wonder he had not noticed it.
Lin Mo’s eyes moved slightly, and then he took two steps back.
Then he jumped up on the spot, his body flew into the air, and he kicked the wall of the cave twice quickly with his feet. His whole body soared up as fast as an arrow.
Lin Mo has a strong physique and naturally has outstanding jumping ability, so the distance of four or five meters is not a difficult task for him.
I saw him firmly grasping the protruding stone with both hands, doing a pull-up, and then flipping over.
What comes into view is a rock cavity with a side length of about one meter. Inside is a bronze box with some strange patterns engraved on it.
Seeing this, Lin Mo’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a bright light.
Lin Mo slowly stretched out a hand, tightly grasped the corner of the box, and then exerted force suddenly, pulling the box out in one go.
“Bang!” With a dull sound, the box fell heavily on the molten rock ground. The huge impact force actually created a small hole in the ground.
At the same time, Lin Mo also landed on the ground. He hurried forward and picked up the box. The box felt very heavy in his arms. It was estimated to weigh about 200 kilograms. If his physique had not been strengthened, he would not be able to lift it at all.
Afterwards, Lin Mo put it back into the storage space and waited until he returned to slowly look at what it was.
Next, Lin Mo and Gastly looked again, and seeing that there was nothing, Lin Mo took Gastly away.
At the same time, in the rainstorm, a small yellow figure kept shuttling back and forth in the muddy forest, and smelly blood kept flowing.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…” Suddenly, the little yellow figure stopped, and then a flash of yellow smoke appeared, and the little yellow figure turned into an old man in a yellow robe, still coughing continuously.
Moreover, the old man with shifty eyes had a hideous wound on his dry cheek, which went straight through the front and there was some fishy blood flowing in it.
“Hiss! Damn it! It’s actually poisonous!”
The old man in the yellow robe took a breath and said with a grim expression.
At the same time, he was still frightened. He didn’t expect that the little ghost was so scary. If he hadn’t dodged quickly, he would have been killed.
“No, let’s ignore that little devil for now and go back to recuperate first. I’ll take revenge when I have a chance in the future.” The old man in the yellow robe thought secretly in his heart, then he turned into a wisp of yellow smoke and disappeared.
Chapter 29: Prosperous Youlin Town (Old Version)
At this time in Youlin Town, Gao De and others were cleaning up Lin Mo’s yard, and the places where the big holes were blown out were filled one by one. ..
The damaged places were also repaired one by one.
However, it was just a rough idea. After all, there was a storm there. In fact, Lin Mo told them not to repair it now and to wait until tomorrow.
But Gaode and others still need to repair it.
The next day, the morning light was dim and the cool breeze caressed my face.
The heavy rain poured down overnight, as if it had given the entire earth a thorough baptism. After this baptism, the green plants became more lush and green, and the vigorous vitality seemed to be full and about to overflow, showing vigorous vitality everywhere.
The traces of last night’s battle were also washed away by the heavy rain, leaving only some blood deep in the soil.
In the Youlinwei camp in Taoyuan Village, Qingqing yawned sleepily, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes.
Qingqing walked out of the tent, sniffing the scent of soil after the rain and the fragrance of trees. Qingqing sighed, “This air is still good.”
At the same time, Qingqing was still frightened when she thought of the bloody scene last night.
“Miss Qingqing, please come over and have breakfast.” But at this moment, a woman’s voice reached her ears. Qingqing turned her head and saw a wooden shed built of wood.
At this time, some women in the wooden shed were distributing steamed buns, white porridge, and a dish of meat, all of which were the meat of the wild beasts from last night.
Seeing this, Qingqing hurried over. She had been busy all night and was already hungry.
Last night, she followed the doctors and helped the injured Youlin Guards bandage their wounds.
It’s not just Taoyuan Village, there are also two other villages. After all, there are not many doctors in the entire Youlin Town. More than a hundred people were injured last night.
Twenty-six of them were seriously injured, and the others had varying degrees of injuries.
When Qingqing saw those injuries, she felt bad.
Qingqing was thinking about a lot of things in her mind and had unknowingly come to the wooden shed. When the people in the wooden shed saw Qingqing, they all greeted her.
“Miss Qingqing, you worked really hard last night.”
“Morning, Miss Qingqing.”
“Miss Qingqing, come here quickly. I have left you a thigh bone for you to heal.”
Qingqing responded to everyone’s greetings one by one with a smile on her little face.
“Miss Qingqing, come here. This is the meat of monsters, which is just suitable for martial artists like you.” An old lady filled a large bowl of meat, handed it to her, and said with a smile.
“Thank you, Aunt Sun.” Qingqing didn’t hesitate to say thank you, then carried Dawan to an empty table, sat down, and started eating.
Qingqing grabbed the thigh meat and took a bite. As she took a bite, her eyes lit up. Although the meat was simply cooked, it was actually the meat of a monster.
These monsters are formed by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, so it can be said that this monster is a solid spiritual stone.
As for why Qingqing can eat meat, it is because Qingqing is not a real Buddhist disciple at all, but just a nominal disciple.
So it’s okay for Qingqing to eat meat.
While Qingqing was eating meat, Master Ikkyu, led by Zhang Rishan, came to Youlin Town.
Looking at the Youlin Town in front of him, Master Ikkyu showed an expression of regret on his face. He thought that this was just a village in the past, but now it has become a big town.
“Master, please come this way.” At this time, Zhang Rishan, who was guarding the gate, shouted and woke up Ikkyu who was sighing.
Ikkyu responded and followed Zhang Rishan. As soon as he entered the town, he saw the bustling streets and the shouts of merchants.
There were vendors selling dried fruits, craftsmen mending leather boots, peddlers carrying loads on their shoulders…all kinds of mobile vendors shouted at the top of their lungs to greet the daytime which was as noisy and lively as boiling water.
The merchants coming and going were bustling and flowing like a rushing river. And on the further road, more people were rushing towards this side, and everywhere was a busy and lively scene.
There were also some children laughing and playing on the street, and some old people gathered in a snack bar, chatting about everything, especially what happened last night.
The sight of this prosperous age made Ikkyu sigh in his heart, thinking that he had traveled all over the country for more than twenty years and had been to many big cities.
But only here did he see what hope was and what it meant to live and work in peace and contentment.
Although there are many big cities that are more lively and prosperous than this one, the people’s eyes are full of dullness. However, the residents of Youlin Town no longer have dullness in their eyes. Everyone’s eyes are shining with hope for life.
“Bang…” Suddenly a child who was chasing, or running too fast, bumped into Zhang Rishan, and the little body fell to the ground.
“Ouch…” The little boy, who seemed to be about four or five years old, had two strands of snot hanging from his nose. He covered his fallen butt and cried out in pain.
Just as Yixiu was about to help him, Zhang Rishan had already pulled the little boy up, patted his little butt, and said gently: “Don’t run on the street, be careful not to bump into other things.”
“Thank you, uncle. I understand.” The little boy wiped his nose with his hand and replied crisply.
“I’m glad to know. Go home quickly.” Zhang Rishan smiled slightly when he heard that, patted his little head and told him to go home.
Seeing this, the little boy smiled innocently, then skipped away on his short legs.
Zhang Rishan looked at the little jumping figure and smiled from the bottom of his heart. This was what he wanted to protect.
Ikkyu looked at all this and smiled with relief.
Not only Yixiu and his group entered Youlin Town, but Huo Jinxi also brought people from the Huo family into Youlin Town.
Huo Mianxi looked at this prosperous town and also felt something different from it.
“Miss, where are we going?” At this time, an old man with pale hair and ruddy face came over and asked.
This old man is Huo Mianxi, the manager he brought with him. Although he looks to be in his sixties or seventies, he is not an ordinary person either.
The same goes for people who have guardian spirits. After all, the Huo family has a long heritage and they also have masters. It’s just a matter of strength.
For example, the master of the Huo family in this generation is Huo Mianxi’s mother, but she is also an ordinary master.
The Huo family is a female-dominated family, with women being the head of the family throughout the generations. This tradition may stem from certain beliefs, customs or historical reasons within the family.
Girls born after the daughter married out also took the surname Huo, which further strengthened the status and influence of women in the family.
Secondly, the female heads of the Huo family usually have outstanding looks, brains and skills, which makes them enjoy high prestige and status both inside and outside the family.
For example, Huo Xiangu, as a female member of the Old Nine Gates, is not only beautiful but also capable. She went through complicated struggles in the family before becoming the head of the family.
The head of the family of the previous generation of Huo Xiangu was Huo Jinxi.
But these are only things for the future. Huo Jinxi is just a woman in her twenties now.
“Let’s go directly to find the owner of this Youlin Town.” Huo Mianxi smiled lightly, that smile was like the first blooming of spring flowers, charming and gentle, and her voice was as soft as the breeze blowing past the ears.
After Huo Mianxi finished speaking, she gently lowered the curtains. The material of the curtains slid across her fingertips, and it felt like the delicate texture of silk.
When the old man heard this, he immediately told the coachman to continue driving forward.
As the wheels of the carriage slowly rolled, the wheels rubbed against the road surface, making a “rumbling” sound, which seemed to be telling the story of the journey.
Chapter 30 Happy Enemies (Old Version)
Youlin Town, in the hall of the Lin Mansion.
Except Zhang Rishan, Gao Jin and others all gathered here.
Each of these people looked a little embarrassed. After all, just in case, they had been patrolling after dealing with the attacking monsters.
It was not until dawn, when everyone had arranged their affairs at hand, that they hurried to Youlin Town.
“Thank you for your hard work last night.” Lin Mo looked at everyone who looked tired and said with satisfaction.
What happened last night was a test for Gao Jin and his team after so much training. After all, there were 132 monsters attacking last night, and there were nearly 1,500 ferocious beasts being carried away.
This can be said to be a real-life version of Warcraft siege.
Lin Mo also didn’t expect that the first large-scale war would be waged against a group of ferocious beasts organized by monsters.
“My lord, this is what we should do.” Gao Jin and others said in unison upon hearing this.
To be honest, they believed that most of the credit for last night’s battle was due to their lord. If it weren’t for the help of Gastly and the others, they didn’t know how many people would have died.
In addition, the two big monsters last night were both dealt with by Lin Mo. If it weren’t for Lin Mo, they would have been just prey to be slaughtered.
Therefore, Gao Jin has great respect for Lin Mo, even the one who just joined yesterday is the same. The bloody battlefield last night broadened Jin Suanpan’s horizons.
The ferocious monsters and the brave Youlin Guards were things he had never seen before in all his travels.
Although Jin Suanpan had fought many times, he was always cautious due to his strength and would avoid any danger.
He always avoided the ferocious beasts in some tombs. He had never confronted them head-on like he did last night.
The blood-drawing blows made Jin Suanpan know what strength is. Now Jin Suanpan looked at Lin Mo with admiration in his eyes.
“Gao Jin, Jin Suanpan, and Gao De, all of you should go back and rest. If there is anything, we will talk after you have rested well.”
Lin Mo looked at Gao Jin and the other two and asked them to go back and rest first. After all, they were already exhausted from what happened last night.
Besides, Lin Mo already knew everything that happened last night when it was over.
Therefore, Gao Jin and the other two should go back and have a good rest first. The remaining tasks now are all about the logistics of Zhang Wen and Mr. Li.
“Yes, my lord.” Gao Jin and the other two looked at each other and said in unison, then the three of them retreated.
“Zhang Wen, the rest of Mr. Li’s matters are left to you.” After Gao Jin and the other two left, Lin Mo looked at Zhang Wen and Mr. Li and gave them instructions.
Zhang Wen and Mr. Li looked at each other and immediately responded, “Yes, my lord.”
Afterwards, Lin Mo gave the two of them a few more instructions and let them leave. He also handed over the gold, silver and antiques he had obtained from the old fox last night to Zhang Wen to deal with.
After sending everyone away, Lin Mo yawned and stood up from his chair. He was ready to go back to sleep as he hadn’t slept the whole night.
Last night when he and Gastly returned to Youlin Town, it was already past five in the morning, and coupled with some things he had to deal with, it has been up until now.
However, just as he was about to go upstairs to sleep, he saw Zhang Rishan walking in with a bald man out of the corner of his eye. Lin Mo took a closer look and knew who the bald man was.
Isn’t this Master Yixiu? Suddenly Lin Mo remembered that Master Yixiu also helped a lot last night, and immediately smiled, greeted him, and said with a smile.
“This must be Master Ikkyu, thank you so much for helping me last night, otherwise my brothers would have been injured or killed.”
“No need. This is what a monk should do.” Master Ikkyu looked at Lin Mo with a sharp gaze. Although he had known that the master of Youlin Town was young, he did not expect that the master was so young.
Judging from his childish appearance, he is only twelve or thirteen years old at most, which is really young. However, it is such a young boy who rules over people of nearly 100,000 people.
Moreover, the real people’s livelihood makes him, a man who has traveled all over the country, feel that this is the world he wants to see, instead of being full of hypocrisy and blindness like the outside world.
So even though Lin Mo is just an underage boy, Master Ikkyu admires Lin Mo very much.
“The master is indeed a great monk.” Lin Mo looked at Ikkyu, who had a kind face, and praised him.
Lin Mo still admired Ikkyu very much. He was a true Buddhist practitioner, not one of those hypocritical monks.
In fact, Lin Mo still has some opinions about Buddhism. After all, in his previous life, those Buddhists were so greedy.
However, Lin Mo is not the kind of person who generalizes. After all, everything has its good and bad sides.
Master Yixiu shook his head gently, bowed, smiled and said: “Anita Buddha, I just did what I should do. Donor Lin is overpraising me.”
Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled slightly. He also understood Master Ikkyu’s character, so he didn’t say much.
“Rishan, go to the treasury and get a 200-year-old ginseng for the master.” However, the reward should still be given. He knew that Master Ikkyu did not care about money, so he gave some natural treasures that were useful to practitioners.
“Master Lin, no…” Ikkyu was about to refuse when he heard that. After all, a two hundred year old ginseng was considered a rare talent in this cultivation world. He couldn’t accept such a precious medicinal material.
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Mo, who said firmly: “Master, don’t refuse. I will not take back what I give away.”
Seeing Lin Mo’s determined expression, Ikkyu did not refuse.
After all, although he had just met Lin Mo today, he could also see that Lin Mo was a man of his word.
“Then I will accept it. Thank you, Mr. Lin.” Seeing that he couldn’t refuse, Ikkyu bowed and spoke.
“That’s right. If that guy Simu was here, he might feel that something was missing.” Seeing this, Lin Mo teased Simu, the shameless guy.
But Lin Mo didn’t mean to be sarcastic, after all, Simu was that kind of person.
In a small town, Simu, who was teased by Lin Mo, smiled and put the ocean in his arms, but at this moment, Simu suddenly sneezed.
“I guess Jiale is missing me, his beloved master again.”
Simu rubbed his nose and muttered to himself narcissistically.
At the same time, Simu thought of Lin Mo who stayed in Lijia Village, and was very pleased. He was also thinking about when to take Jiale to Youlin Town for a visit.
“But when I go back this time, I’ll take Jiale to visit Youlin Town. That kid is indeed a natural born hero. In just half a year, he turned a run-down village into a prosperous town.”
Thinking of this, Simu quickly left here.
Let’s not talk about what happened here in Simu, and let’s go back to Lin Mo.
When Yixiu heard Lin Mo teasing Simu, a gloating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yixiu also learned from Zhang Rishan that Simu had also been here.
Moreover, Lin Mo was brought here by Simu. If Simu had not brought Lin Mo to Lijia Village, there would not be the current Youlin Town.
“Rishan, take Master Ikkyu downstairs to rest. You guys have worked hard last night.” Lin Mo looked at Master Ikkyu’s gloating expression and a smile flashed in his eyes. This Master Ikkyu and Simu are indeed a pair of happy enemies.
They all like to see each other get into trouble.
After hearing Lin Mo’s words, Zhang Rishan took Master Ikkyu away.
“Ahaha… I can finally go to bed.” Lin Mo stretched, said this, and went upstairs to sleep.
No one came this time.
Chapter 31: Master Qianhe and his Apprentice (Old Version)
While Lin Mo was resting, a carriage stopped outside the Lin Mansion.
This was exactly Huo Jinxi and his group. When Huo Jinxi got off the carriage and saw the destroyed buildings around him and the potholes, his pupils shrank suddenly.
Such destructive power, is this the power of the extraordinary master?
He is countless times stronger than the master of their Huo family.
At this moment, a Youlin Guard came over, looked at Huo Jinjie and the others, and asked coldly, “Who are you?”
After all, this area is within the administrative jurisdiction of Youlin Town, and both government affairs and logistics are handled here.
However, because of last night’s battle, the surrounding buildings are under construction, and both Mr. Li and Zhang Wen are working at home.
Seeing this, Butler Huo walked out quickly and said with a smile: “Little brother, we are from the Changsha Huo family. This is our Huo family’s eldest daughter. She wants to discuss some business with your master.”
When You Linwei heard what Butler Huo said, his expression did not change at all. He had never heard of the Changsha Huo family. After all, they had never left the area within a hundred miles.
Besides, Changsha is tens of thousands of miles away from here, and this family isn’t a super famous one, so how could they possibly know.
But even though he didn’t know, You Lin Wei was not a fool and it was impossible for him to say that he didn’t know.
“Our lord is resting. I can take you to find Zhang, the chief steward. He is in charge of business and other matters.”
Hearing You Linwei’s words, Huo Jinxi and Butler Huo looked at each other. Butler Huo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Huo Jinxi.
“Okay, then take us to see Manager Zhang.”
The reason why Huo Jinxi stopped Butler Huo was because she also thought about what happened last night. The traces of battle around her showed how fierce the battle was last night.
Now, it is normal to take a break.
It would also be a good idea to meet that Chief Steward Zhang and learn more about this mysterious and extraordinary master.
“Then follow me.” You Linwei nodded, said something, and led the way.
Huo Jinxi did not get back into the carriage, but followed Youlinwei with Butler Huo and the little maid.
Everyone else let her stay here.
In fact, the residence of Zhang Wen and others is not far from here, just across the street. After all, if they live too far away, it will be difficult to work.
………
At the same time, on a jungle trail fifty kilometers outside Youlin Town, a team of more than one hundred people were walking on the trail.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a yellow Taoist robe with a serious look. He was surrounded by four young men in blue Taoist robes. It was obvious at first glance that these four young men were the middle-aged Taoist’s disciples.
Behind them was a group of soldiers dressed in Qing Dynasty uniforms. They were pushing a wooden cart with a coffin on it that seemed to be made of gold. Perhaps the coffin was so heavy that the wooden wheels were stuck in the mud.
This group of people were Qianhe and others. Qianhe was very helpless when he received the escort from Shan Qingting’s royal family outside the pass this time.
In fact, if it weren’t for repaying a favor, he would never have taken this business.
The current Qing dynasty can be said to be dead. Without the suppression of the dynasty’s fortune, the entire Qing royal family began to be backlashed, some died, some fell into despair.
After all, when the Qing Dynasty ruled China, it committed countless evil things. It did not treat the people of China as human beings at all, such as the Three Massacres in Yangzhou.
In the past, the Qing Dynasty’s good fortune could suppress the rebellion and keep it intact, but when the Qing Dynasty’s imperial city was breached, the Qing Dynasty’s good fortune was destroyed.
And now the old guard of the Qing court are getting their comeuppance.
Therefore, there are not many monks who are willing to interact with these old and remnant descendants of the Qing Dynasty. After all, they are also afraid of death.
Qianhe had to go this time because he owed a huge favor to someone in the past. Moreover, as a disciple of Maoshan, he had the protection of the Maoshan headquarters, so he would not necessarily die.
Of course, Chizuru was also gambling.
“Master Qianhe, where are we now?” At the same time, a sissy voice reached Qianhe’s ears. Qianhe turned around and saw a guy with a sissy face and frowned.
He really disliked this effeminate tone, but although Qianzuru didn’t like this effeminate tone, she still said: “Wu Dailang, follow this mountain road, and we will reach a village in another day and night. Then we can rest there.”
He still recognized the surrounding road conditions.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dailang shook his handkerchief and said unhappily, “It’s taking so long, let’s take a break.”
As soon as Minister Wu finished speaking, before Qianhe could reply, he took the initiative to order everyone to rest.
After giving the order, Minister Wu ignored Qianhe’s unhappy expression and went to serve his brother.
Seeing this, Qianhe could only let his four disciples take a rest in all directions.
“Master, give me some water.” The four apprentices heard this and didn’t say anything. They took out water and dry food from their packages and started eating.
The eldest disciple Adong handed the gourd to Qianhe.
Qianzuru took the kettle and started drinking it with a “gulp”. Some water flowed out from the corners of his mouth. Qianzuru was about to wipe the corners of his mouth, but at this moment, a roar that shook the mountains and forests reached everyone’s ears.
“roar!!!!”
“Hmm!!!” Qianzuru quickly drew out her weapon and looked around vigilantly, while the others also drew out their weapons and looked at the bushes around them.
“Come quickly and protect the prince. Are you blind? If anything happens to the prince, I will skin you alive.”
At the same time, Minister Wu shouted in panic, his whole body almost shrinking on the little prince’s chair. It can be said that he did the most cowardly thing and said the most cruel words.
This made Qianhe frown. This Minister Wu was a troublemaker. If he didn’t have a mission to accomplish, he would have slapped him in the face long ago, and there would be no chance for Squeaky to complain.
At the same time, he felt a strong demonic aura, which made him more vigilant, and he did not forget to remind others.
“Everyone be careful, there is an evil spirit coming.”
Upon hearing this, the four people from the southeast, northwest, and northeast regions took out peach wood swords from their packages. The person who could make their master so alert must be someone who is not easy to deal with.
The remaining Qing soldiers were the same, holding steel knives and looking around nervously.
When Minister Wu saw this, he was about to fly into a rage. These idiots actually dared to disobey him. This was really going against the will of Heaven.
But before he could say anything, the young prince sitting on the bridge immediately stopped him, called out “Minister Wu” and told him not to speak. Although the young prince was young, he was much more mature than other children of the same age.
In addition, since they live in different places, the young prince is very good at judging people. If Qianhe hadn’t been with them along the way, I’m afraid they would not have been able to get here.
Even with Qianhe along the way, they still suffered heavy losses. Originally they had 800 people, but from the time they walked from outside the pass to here, they had lost more than 600 people.
Moreover, these eight hundred of them were elite soldiers, each of them able to fight ten people at a time. But even so, by the time they got here, more than six hundred of them had died.
This is the norm in this world. In fact, it is not just Kyushu, but the whole world is almost the same. It’s just that Kyushu is relatively backward, with fewer means of transportation and worse roads.
But even in those advanced countries, it is very dangerous in the wild.
But at this moment, a sinister voice was heard.
“Hehehe!!! Hehehehe!! It’s a great tonic, just in time to heal my injuries!”
Just as these words fell, suddenly, a gust of wind came howling. The sound of the wind was like the roar of an evil ghost, which was creepy.
Along with this gust of evil wind, a huge, colorful tiger suddenly jumped out from the dense grass not far away!
The tiger’s fur presents a colorful pattern, like a colorful painting. Its body is agile and strong, with clear muscle lines, and each muscle contains infinite power.
When it leaped out of the grass, it was as fast as an arrow, raising a cloud of dust.
Boom!!! With a loud noise that shook the earth, the ground seemed to tremble.
Where the tiger landed, dust rose up like smoke and quickly spread to all directions. In an instant, the entire scene was covered by billowing smoke and dust, and the vision became blurred.
However, what was even more terrifying was that with the appearance of this gorgeous tiger, a strong and almost indissoluble bloodthirsty aura instantly filled the entire venue. This aura was icy cold and piercing, as if it could penetrate a person’s soul, causing everyone present to shudder.
Even the air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood and killing, making it difficult to breathe.
Chapter 32: Dragons from the Clouds, Tigers from the Wind (Old Version)
What surprised them even more was that on the huge head of the spotted tiger, a yellow weasel was half-crouching, and black mist was emanating from half of the yellow weasel’s face from time to time.
If Lin Mo were here, he would definitely recognize that this yellow weasel was the one he injured.
The weasel originally wanted to return to its nest, but Lin Mo’s poison element was too overbearing. Halfway through the journey, he felt weak inside and could only hunt some powerful beasts to devour them.
To stabilize the injuries in his body, the tiger he was sitting on was the blood food he chose on the road. As long as his injuries became serious, he could devour it to stabilize his injuries.
This weasel didn’t expect that Lin Mo’s poison element was so overbearing. Even if all the poison elements were expelled this time, his strength would be reduced by 10%.
This time he really failed to gain the advantage even though he failed to steal the chicken.
The reason why he set his sights on Qianhe and the others was because humans were the best supplement for monsters, otherwise there wouldn’t be monsters that kept eating humans.
But I’m afraid he made the wrong decision this time.
Qianhe’s strength is not something that a seriously injured demon like him can control.
“Monster!!! You are courting death.” Qianhe looked at the weasel on the tiger’s head and found that it was a seriously injured monster, and heaved a sigh of relief.
If the big monster was intact, he would probably be the only one who could survive this time. After all, he was no match for the big monster.
“Huh!? You are actually a Taoist priest from Mount Maoshan. Little Taoist priest, I can let you go, but take your disciple and get out of here immediately.” Huang Shulang’s originally groggy mind immediately became clearer when he heard Qianhe’s words, and he said with a gloomy face.
His brain was a little groggy due to the poison element, so he didn’t notice Chizuru just now.
“Hehe, if you hadn’t been injured, I would definitely not be your opponent. But now it’s hard to say who will win.” Qianhe sneered when he heard this. He could still fight against a half-crippled monster.
“Demon-slaying divine swordsmanship!!!” At the same time, Qianhe bit his middle finger and slashed at the peach wood sword. Suddenly, the peach wood sword emitted a blazing red sharp light.
The sharp light even caused the surrounding air to distort.
“Come on, let me see the power of the big demon.” Qianhe pointed the peach wood sword directly at the weasel and shouted loudly, as if he was going to die together with him.
Seeing this, the weasel’s face darkened. If they fought to the death, he would probably really die here.
He didn’t want to die like this.
Thinking of this, the weasel’s eyes instantly became gloomy and vicious. It glared fiercely at Qianhe who was not far away, but did not utter any wild words or make any harsh remarks as people imagined.
Then, the weasel muttered something, as if casting some mysterious spell or incantation to control the mighty beast.
As the weasel cast the spell, the tiger suddenly let out a deafening roar, as if the entire forest was shaking.
Then, it exerted its strength suddenly, and its strong limbs quickly contracted and stretched like springs, and it rushed away like lightning with the weasel on its back.
As the saying goes, “Dragons come from the clouds, tigers come from the wind.” This colorful tiger created a gust of wind when it ran, making the surrounding leaves rustle and the branches bend.
It leaped several times, each time covering a distance of several feet, its speed was so fast that it was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, the man and the tiger disappeared into the depths of the dense jungle, leaving only silence and a little residual sound of the wind.
However, although the weasel left, Qianhe and others did not dare to let their guard down. After all, it would be bad if that guy made a surprise attack.
Time passes by bit by bit…
More than ten minutes passed unknowingly, and Chizuru felt the demonic energy gradually decreasing. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it would be best if she didn’t have to fight.
Although he was not afraid of a half-crippled monster, he didn’t want to fight it. After all, he didn’t want his four disciples to die here.
“Hurry up and be careful. We need to speed up.” Qianhe immediately gave the order and reminded them.
Seeing this, Dongnanxixi and Xibei immediately packed up their things.
The young prince also asked his men to catch up, and Minister Wu didn’t waste any words and asked them to quickly catch up with Qianhe and the others.
So the group continued to move forward.
However, everyone was very cautious. Qianhe stayed behind, Dongnanxixi led the way in front, and a group of Qing soldiers pushed large carts forward.
And it was right for Chizuru to be so cautious. In the depths of the jungle, two pairs of eyes were staring at Chizuru and his group as they left. One pair of eyes, as big as soybeans, was flashing with resentment.
However, the old weasel only stared for a while and then drove the tiger under him away.
After all, there was no point in waiting any longer. It would be better to go back and heal his wounds. He did have the idea of ​​making a comeback.
However, he did not expect that the Maoshan disciple was so vigilant. He had no chance to attack and could only leave.
At noon, Lin Mo’s cozy little room was peaceful and quiet.
Through the half-open window, a soft and warm ray of golden sunlight quietly filtered through the gap in the curtains and shone straight into the house like a beam of magical light.
The ray of light fell squarely on Lin Mo, who was sleeping soundly in a sweet dream.
Caressed by the sun, Lin Mo subconsciously turned over, smacking his lips from time to time, as if he was tasting some delicious food.
After a while, he finally slowly opened his still sleepy eyes, blinked a few times in confusion, and then cast his gaze towards the scorching sun hanging high in the sky outside the window.
At this moment, his eyes, which were originally a little sleepy, suddenly seemed to be injected with a powerful energy. They quickly became bright and sharp, and the whole person became much more awake at once.
At the same time, I glanced at the clock on the side and saw that it was already past twelve o’clock.
“It’s already noon. Time flies so fast.”
Then, he slowly got out of bed, his feet stepped on the slightly cool floor, and a refreshing feeling instantly spread throughout his body.
Lin Mo walked to the balcony, gently pushed open the glass door, and a gust of fresh air blew in his face.
He took a deep breath, feeling the breeze with a little coolness and the fragrance of flowers brushing against his face. After standing still, he held the railing with both hands and looked at the bustling street below.
The streets are crowded with cars and pedestrians. Some are in a hurry, as if they are rushing to work or to keep an appointment; others are leisurely strolling on the streets, enjoying this wonderful time.
The shops along the street have already opened for business, and the shop owners are greeting passers-by warmly, and bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time.
The whole city is full of vitality and vigor, showing a prosperous scene.
Although it is far away from him, with Lin Mo’s vision and hearing, it seems as if it is right in front of him. This is the person he is protecting, and this is the life he wants.
“Hey hey hey… Hey hey hey…”
At this moment, Gastly emerged from Lin Mo’s shadow and gave Lin Mo a funny smile with a mischievous look.
Lin Mo also touched its big head. The Overlord Gastly is now about 1.6 meters tall, much bigger than the ordinary Gastly.
It’s the same size as a normal Haunter.
Lin Mo could only sigh, he was indeed worthy of being the Overlord Gastly.
I don’t know how big it will be when it evolves into Haunter.
Then Lin Mo changed his clothes, put on his shoes, left the room and went downstairs.
As soon as he reached the first floor, the Youlin Guard who was guarding the gate came in and said respectfully, “My lord, Chief Steward Zhang wants to see you.”
“Well, then go call him over.” Lin Mo thought for a moment and then spoke.
“Yes.” You Linwei nodded, responded, and retreated.
Seeing this, Lin Mo picked up the apple on the table and started to eat it. He didn’t know why. He liked the sour and sweet taste of apples very much. He didn’t know if his taste had changed.
“Hey hey hey…” Gastly didn’t hesitate to stick out his big tongue and swallowed the small bowl of fruit in one go.
Chapter 33: Meeting Huo Jinxi (Old Version)
At the same time, Huo Jinxi, who was arranged by Zhang Wen to stay in the lounge, sat elegantly on a chair, reading a book in her hand.
The maid next to her filled her tea cup from time to time.
“Knock, knock, knock…” Just then, a knock on the door reached Huo Jinxi’s ears. Huo Jinxi raised her red lips and said, “Come in.”
As soon as Huo Jinxi finished speaking, Butler Huo pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Huo Jinxi, Butler Huo said respectfully, “Miss, the antiques have been counted. They are all top-quality items.”
The ancient treasures counted by Butler Huo were exactly the batch that Lin Mo got from the old fox, which he had previously handed over to Zhang Wen to handle.
Originally, Zhang Wen was still worried about how to deal with this group of ancient scholars, but this time Huo Jinxi’s coming just solved his urgent problem. After all, Zhang Wen had heard of the Huo family in Changsha.
Unlike those Youlin Guards, Zhang Wen had traveled a lot and visited many big cities before Youlin Town was established, so it was normal for him to know the Huo family in Changsha.
The Huo family in Changsha was good at ancient business, so it was just right to sell it to them, and he didn’t have to waste time looking for other sellers.
Moreover, Zhang Wen also realized that the people of the Huo family must have something to ask of their lord, so he was not afraid that they would cheat him, and they might even give him more.
When Huo Jinxi heard what Butler Huo said, she said softly without turning her head, “I’ll buy it at twice the market price. This is also my gift to the master.”
Although the Huo family is not as wealthy as a country, they still have some assets. It is worth spending a little money to make friends with an extraordinary master.
“I understand, Miss.” Butler Huo nodded.
He and Huo Jinxi had the same idea that it was well worth it to spend some money to get to know an extraordinary master.
“Tada tada…” At this moment, the sound of footsteps reached the ears of Huo Jinxi and the other two. Huo Jinxi put down the book in her hand, turned her head, and saw Zhang Wen walking towards them with a smile on his face.
“Miss Huo, my master has woken up. You can go see him now.”
When Huo Jinxi heard Zhang Wen’s words, she immediately stood up from her chair, smiled on her pretty face, and walked over to him, saying with a smile, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Manager Zhang.”
“Ms. Huo, please follow me.” Zhang Wen nodded, said this, and led the way.
Seeing this, Huo Jinxi took Butler Huo and followed them, while the little maid stayed here.
At the same time, Ikkyu also walked out of the lounge. Looking at the big sun hanging in the sky, Ikkyu sighed.
“Time really waits for no one. The whole morning has passed in the blink of an eye.”
“Master, you’re awake.” At this time, Qingqing came in with food. Seeing her master, Qingqing put the food on the table and shouted happily.
“Qingqing, you worked hard last night.” Ikkiu saw his apprentice and saw that her brows revealed a little fatigue, so he said with some heartache.
Ikkiu also knew what Qingqing did last night.
“Master, it’s not that hard.” Qingqing shook her head.
“By the way, Master, let’s eat first. After dinner, we’ll go around Youlin Town and buy some things.”
“Okay, Master will take you around Youlin Town later.”
Ikkyu smiled and nodded, then sat down at the dining table.
He just passed by in a hurry this morning. He had just finished lunch and could go for a walk and see the layout of Youlin Town.
Let’s not talk about what happened here in Ikkiu, but in the Lin Mansion on the other side.
Lin Mo sat in the main seat, looking at Huo Jinxi and Butler Huo below.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Huo Jinxi, he did not expect that the eldest daughter of the Huo family in Changsha would actually run here from Changsha. Guangdong Province can be said to be 18,000 miles away from Changsha.
Whether traveling by water or by land, it is extremely dangerous.
But this is none of his business. He wants to see what Huo Jinxi wants from him.
While Lin Mo was looking at Huo Mianxi and the other person, Huo Jinxi and the other person were also looking at Lin Mo.
“It’s incredible that he is so young.” Huo Jinxi looked at Lin Mo’s still somewhat immature appearance and thought secretly in shock.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Mo with moving gaze. She originally thought that the extraordinary master of Youlin Town would be a young man if not a middle-aged man. But looking at his childish appearance, he was probably not yet an adult.
But Butler Huo was different from Huo Jinxi. As a transcendent being, he felt so much pressure from Lin Mo from time to time that even the beast in his body seemed to tremble.
Moreover, in his eyes, Lin Mo was like an abyss that could swallow everything, and was simply the source of darkness.
“I wonder what Miss Huo wants to talk to me about?” After various things flashed through Lin Mo’s mind, he asked.
“Master Lin, I want to open an antique shop in your place. I hope Master Lin can give me some convenience.” Upon hearing this, Huo Jinxi smiled slightly and spoke immediately.
“Oh, my place is deep in the mountains and forests, and Miss Huo actually opened a store here. Aren’t you afraid of losing money?” Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.
You know, his sphere of influence is surrounded by mountains. If it weren’t for the Yu River that could be used for water transportation, I’m afraid he would have to pay a certain price and open up a land route.
After all, there is an old saying that goes, if you want to be rich, build roads.
“Haha, as long as Master Lin is here, our Huo family will not lose money, and even if we lose money, it won’t be a big deal for our Huo family.”
Huo Jinxi said with a smile, and when he said this, Huo Jinxi looked like he had a lot of money and a lot of people.
Looking at Huo Jinxi who looked like she was rich, Lin Mo felt itchy and wondered if he should kidnap this wealthy woman and give the Huo family a good beating.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo’s eyes became even deeper, which made Huo Jinxi and the others feel uneasy.
However, Lin Mo quickly rejected this idea. If he did so, those businessmen would probably not dare to come to Youlin Town to do business.
By then, his reputation will be ruined, which will be detrimental to the development of Youlin Town.
After all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Mo continued to speak; “Okay, if you like that store, you can tell Zhang Wen that as long as your Huo family follows the laws of my Youlin Town, I will guarantee that you will be fine.”
“Thank you, Master Lin.” Huo Jinxi immediately thanked him.
“Then I wonder if Miss Huo will send that person to garrison Youlin Town.”
Hearing Lin Mo’s question, Huo Jinxi showed a meaningful smile and said with a smile: “I will do it myself. I will have to rely on Master Lin in the future.”
“Oh, it’s really interesting.” Hearing this, Lin Mo’s eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said thoughtfully.
It turned out that it was Huo Jinxi who stayed here. It seemed that Huo Jinxi had other purposes.
But in his territory, the dragons coiled for him and the tigers lay down for him. He didn’t take an ordinary person seriously, even if there was an extraordinary person next to her.
“Zhang Wen, take Miss Huo down to choose a store. You and Miss Huo can take care of the rest.”
Afterwards, Lin Mo asked Zhang Wen, who had been silent, to be in charge of this matter. After all, Zhang Wen is now the steward of Youlin Town, and he is responsible for most of the things.
And Mr. Li is old, so he only plays a supporting role.
“Yes, my lord.” Zhang Wen bowed and said upon hearing this.
Then he made a gesture of invitation, signaling Huo Jinxi and the other person to follow him.
Huo Jinxi and Butler Huo looked at each other, then nodded to Lin Mo and followed Zhang Wen. When they walked out the door, Huo Jinxi turned around and looked at Lin Mo deeply.
When Lin Mo saw Huo Jinxi turning back, he smiled brightly.
She couldn’t figure out what Lin Mo meant.
Chapter 34: Changsha Huo Family (Old Version)
When Huo Jinxi was in Youlin Town, he was at the Huo family far away in Changsha.
The head of the Huo family in this generation, Mrs. Huo, asked coldly, “Tell me, where did Jin Xi go?”
She never thought that her granddaughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would do such a thing and run away from her marriage. This was a slap in the face of her Huo family.
Kneeling in front of her was a beautiful middle-aged woman. This woman was Huo Jinxi’s mother, named Huo Mei. If Huo Jinxi was a smart person, her mother would be a naive person.
Otherwise, she would have been the head of the Huo family in this generation.
Instead, Mrs. Huo, who is already in her seventies, had always been very optimistic about her, but she gave up everything for a man and followed that man.
If that man was a good match, Old Mrs. Huo might feel very disappointed with her daughter, but after all, she was happy for her daughter that she had a good match.
But that man was simply a scumbag. She had lived for seventy or eighty years and had seen all kinds of people. She thought she had some ability to judge people.
However, her daughter just didn’t believe it and resolutely left the Huo family. In the end, she returned to the Huo family in a miserable state with the young Huo Jinxi.
The tattered and scarred body, which seemed to have aged ten years, and the frail Huo Jinxi made Old Lady Huo soften her heart.
After all, no matter what, she was her daughter, so Mrs. Huo could only accept her back into the Huo family. Although Huo Mei’s affair had caused a lot of uproar, in the Huo family, as long as Mrs. Huo was there, no one else dared to say anything.
Do you really think that her position as the head of the Huo family was given to her by others? She stood out from many contenders and got the position of the head of the Huo family.
“Mom, I really don’t know. Jinxi didn’t tell me anything. She just said she was going out to do something.” Huo Mei knelt on the ground and said bitterly.
Her daughter has been independent since she was young. She has no respect for her mother and will never tell her anything.
After more than twenty years, she is now just a walking corpse. She still hasn’t gotten over what happened back then. If it weren’t for Huo Jinxi, she might have died.
Moreover, after what happened back then, she didn’t have the face to talk about disciplining her daughter. Huo Jinxi was raised by Old Lady Huo all these years.
Old Mrs. Huo looked at her disappointing daughter and sighed in her heart. She didn’t know how she could have such a daughter when she was not only extremely smart but also ruthless.
Fortunately, her granddaughter Huo Jinxi looked like her. After a hundred years, she believed that Huo Mianxi could take the position of manager of the Huo family, but now Huo Jinxi was gone.
It was like fate was playing a joke on her, just like it was on her daughter Huo Mei.
“You go down.” Old Mrs. Huo stared at her daughter for a while, waved her hand and asked her to go down. Old Mrs. Huo didn’t say anything now. She was old and didn’t know how long she could hold on.
When she goes there, she is afraid that her daughter will be kicked out of the Huo family again. If she hadn’t been suppressing her all these years, what Huo Mei did in the past few years would be a shame to their Huo family.
When had the women of the Huo family been deceived by men like this? The Huo family believes that women are no weaker than men.
And Huo Mei is their shame.
Huo Mei looked at her mother’s snow-white hair and wrinkled face, and felt extremely guilty, but she could do nothing. Was this the price she paid for her impulsiveness?
It’s really heavy.
“Mom, you take a rest. I’ll go down first.”
Huo Mei smiled bitterly, said something, and left.
Old Mrs. Huo looked at her daughter’s lifeless back. Her expression was originally cold, revealing a hint of helplessness and a sigh.
“Someone, go ask Master Qi to come over. I need his help with something.”
However, these expressions only flashed by, and then he said coldly.
Just as she finished her words, a dark figure slowly walked out from the endless darkness. This person was tall and slender, and he came quietly like a ghost in the night.
She was covered in a black robe, revealing only a pair of eyes that flashed with cold light. However, the most eye-catching thing was the evil ghost mask covering her face, which was ferocious and terrifying, as if it would devour anyone at any time.
Looking more closely, I saw that this man had an extremely obvious and easily recognizable feature – his ears were surprisingly long and pointed, far beyond the normal size of an ordinary person.
The ears were like a finely crafted work of art, but they exuded a chilling aura. It turned out that this mysterious man in black was one of the powerful forces of the Huo family that had been hiding in the dark.
Although Mrs. Huo herself is just an ordinary master, no one can underestimate the terrifying power hidden behind this family.
After all, those who have survived the Huo family over the years have hidden powers, and there are also one or two special independent beast tamers.
And this woman is the hidden power of the Huo family, and also the power of the person in charge of the Huo family. These people only serve the person in charge of the Huo family.
“I understand, Master.” The woman in black replied without any emotion.
After she finished speaking, her figure seemed to become invisible. The invisible power around her rippled for a moment, and then her figure disappeared.
When Old Mrs. Huo saw all this, she did not show any surprise. After all, as the manager of the Huo family, she knew everything about the family.
If the head of the Huo family doesn’t know everything about the Huo family, then the Huo family will no longer be the Huo family.
At the same time, the sun was setting, and the sunset glow spread across the sky like colorful silk. Youlin Town was bathed in this beautiful glow, like a dreamlike painting of a paradise.
Lin Mo walked leisurely on the street, followed closely by Ikkiu and Qingqing, who looked curious.
Qingqing’s beautiful watery eyes seemed to be intently examining the shops on both sides of the road, but in fact, her gaze always unconsciously drifted towards Lin Mo, who was having a pleasant conversation with her master.
Lin Mo was tall and straight, with an imposing manner, and exuded a unique charm in his every move.
When he was chatting and laughing with Qingqing’s master, he looked elegant and talented. Qingqing secretly observed Lin Mo, and her heart could not help but ripple, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Although Lin Mo felt Qingqing’s gaze, he didn’t care. She was just a very curious girl, so Lin Mo didn’t care.
Not only Lin Mo noticed it, but Ikkiu also noticed it.
But Ikkyu didn’t care. Just as Lin Mo thought, it was just a girl’s thoughts, and he knew that.
“Master Yixiu, why don’t you stay in Youlin Town?”
Lin Mo took a bite of the candied haws in his hand and suddenly said something that made Ikkiu pause.
At the same time, Qingqing did the same. She looked at her master and then at Lin Mo, as if she wanted to know how her master would answer.
In fact, Qingqing was somewhat tempted to stay in Youlin Town.
She is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, which is an active age, but she does not have the patience of Ikkyu to stay in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Staying in Youlin Town may be Qingqing’s best choice.
“Anita Buddha, Master Lin, I still prefer a quieter environment. I’m afraid Youlin Town will not be peaceful in the future.”
Ikkyu performed a Buddhist salute and then began to speak, his tone full of meaning.
Qingqing didn’t hear the other meaning of Ikyu, but Lin Mo understood it clearly. He smiled brightly and looked at the street where there were constant shouting and children playing.
Facing the sunset glow, Lin Mo said in a firm tone: “Master Ikkyu, in a world of great contention, there is no peaceful life. This world is a world where if you don’t advance, you will retreat.”
“I don’t want the Youlin Town I built to become like the towns outside.”
Ikkiu’s expression changed when he listened to Lin Mo’s words, then he smiled and didn’t say much.
Chapter 35 Si Teng (Old Version)
Time passed unknowingly and it was night. Lin Mo was sitting on the wooden balcony. On the table in front of him was a bronze box. This was the bronze box that Lin Mo had obtained from the old fox.
“I don’t know what’s in this? It’s actually in a bronze box.”
As Lin Mo whispered softly, the mysterious and strange voice seemed to have some kind of magic, slowly floating in the air.
At this moment, a creepy scene happened – lines of inky black mist penetrated silently through the tiny gaps in the bronze box like ghosts, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped the entire box tightly.
“Crack!” Suddenly, a crisp sound broke the deathly silence, like a thunderclap, deafening. Then, the entire bronze box shook violently as if controlled by an invisible force.
Along with this sudden vibration, the originally tightly closed lid of the box automatically popped open a gap.
Lin Mo’s eyes widened with astonishment on his face. He calmed himself down and carefully reached out to open the bronze box completely.
In an instant, a dazzling green light burst out from the inside of the box, making it almost impossible to open one’s eyes. After the light faded slightly, Lin Mo looked carefully and saw a strange vine lying quietly in the box.
This vine is as green as jade and crystal clear, just like a fine work of art. What’s more peculiar is that it exudes an extremely strong vitality, as if it has endless vitality and energy.
This powerful life force continuously surged outward, forming a faint green halo that tightly surrounded the vines.
Lin Mo looked at the magical scene in front of him, and couldn’t help but feel amazed: “What on earth is this? Such a strong vitality, could it really be some kind of legendary spiritual root?” For a moment, countless questions surged in his mind, causing him to fall into deep contemplation…
Then Lin Mo picked up the vine and looked at it carefully.
But no matter how Lin Mo looked at it, he couldn’t figure out what it meant, so he inserted the vine into the flower bed on the side.
“Buzz…” As soon as the vine was inserted into the soil, a green light emanated. Under Lin Mo’s astonished gaze, the vine grew rapidly, and soon, it entangled the wooden railings of the balcony.
Moreover, green leaves also grew.
“Well, what on earth is this thing?” Lin Mo was not nervous. Instead, he touched his chin with a curious look on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the vines seemed to get angry and began to twist continuously. Several newly grown vines seemed to want to attack Lin Mo.
But before the vines could get close, a horrible black mist entangled all the vines, making bursts of “sizzling” sounds, and wisps of white smoke emerged.
“No!!! Don’t kill me!! Put this damn thing away quickly!!!” Under Lin Mo’s playful gaze, a childish voice came out from the vine.
“Oh, it’s actually a vine monster. What an unexpected gain.” Lin Mo said with interest when he heard the voice.
He didn’t expect that this was actually a vine monster, and that this vine monster had survived for so long, and it revived once it was inserted into the soil.
“What vine monster?! Don’t insult me, little devil. I am a vine fairy, the Great Fairy Si Teng.”
When Lin Mo heard this, he felt that the name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Suddenly, a mature and beautiful figure flashed through Lin Mo’s mind.
At this time, Lin Mo also remembered why the name Si Teng sounded so familiar. Wasn’t this the heroine in the TV show “Si Teng” that he had seen in his previous life?
Lin Mo still remembers the general plot.
“Sito” tells the story of a young designer Qin Fang who accidentally triggered a mechanism during his root-seeking process and met Si Teng who had been sleeping for decades.
Si Teng was originally a white vine growing in the dense forests of the southwest. Later, Taoist Qiu Shan used a special magic weapon to catalyze her into a human form and became a member of the Kar tribe. Because of Shao Yankuan’s feelings, Si Teng split into another demon type, Bai Ying, in 1937, and was later killed and buried by Bai Ying.
Seventy-seven years later, Qin Fang fell off a cliff, and his blood accidentally resurrected Si Teng, and Si Teng’s demonic spirit saved Qin Fang again.
After Qin Fang triggered Si Teng’s mechanism, Si Teng forced Qin Fang to help her find out the truth about her life experience. In the process, the two got to know each other and overcame many obstacles to grow together.
However, Bai Ying sets many obstacles on their path to growth. The story also includes Si Teng’s farewell to Qin Fang in a dream, Si Teng and Bai Ying reach a reconciliation, and Si Teng learns about Bai Ying’s past.
Although Lin Mo had only watched some videos of this TV series on Kuaiyu, he also knew about it at the time because the heroine Si Teng was so attractive.
However, it was unknown whether this vine monster was the Si Teng. Lin Mo’s expression became playful. He sat on the chair and said, “Great Immortal Si Teng, I want to see how powerful you are.”
Afterwards, Lin Mo’s mind moved, and the black mist entangled on the vines shrank tighter, making a series of “crunching…crunching…” sounds, but the poisonous elements in the black mist also dissipated.
No matter what, if the corrosion continues, the great immortal Si Teng will be doomed.
“It hurts, it hurts! Please let me go. I’m not some immortal. I’m just a vine monster. Please let me go.”
After a while, Si Teng’s childish voice begging for mercy came out from between the vines.
At this time, Si Teng felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not be so tough.
“Tsk tsk tsk, that’s right. Why didn’t you say it earlier? Tell me your origins right away.” Lin Mo clicked his tongue when he heard that.
When Si Teng heard this, she immediately told everything about her life. The plot is indeed not much different from the original novel, but the timeline is much earlier than the original novel.
However, in this chaotic world, the timeline no longer plays any role, so Lin Mo did not care too much about it.
“Turns out it’s a half-crippled vine monster.” Lin Mo sneered, which made Si Teng so angry that she gritted her teeth. What a little bastard.
He actually dared to say that she was half-disabled. That was really too much. Don’t let her get the chance. When the time comes, she will definitely let this little brat know how powerful she is.
But now she is the dish on the table and she can’t resist. It is better for her to give in early so that she will suffer less.
Seeing that Si Teng didn’t say anything else, Lin Mo moved his mind and the black fog dissipated, revealing some bumpy vines. However, a flash of green light appeared and the bumpy vines recovered.
However, Lin Mo could clearly feel that the originally rich vitality had dissipated for the most part. This showed how terrifying Lin Mo’s black fog was.
“Si Teng, can’t you transform? Show it to me.” Seeing that Si Teng’s injuries were healed, Lin Mo continued to speak.
“It can’t be dissolved…” When Si Teng heard it, the vine spoke sullenly like an angry girl, then entangled itself on the guardrail and ignored Lin Mo.
This little devil caused her to lose most of her life force, and even asked her why she didn’t transform. What a bastard who got the advantage and then acted cute.
“Stay here obediently and don’t cause any trouble, otherwise you won’t have a chance to recover next time.”
Seeing this, Lin Mo gave a warning and stood up and left the balcony.
You can’t be too nice to this arrogant Si Teng, otherwise she will make excessive demands. You should know that in the original book, Si Teng’s attitude towards Qin Fang is very bad.
Therefore, you cannot have too good an attitude towards Si Teng.
After Lin Mo returned to the room, Gastly emerged from the darkness, staring at the vines on the balcony with his big eyes, and his big face was full of evil amusement.
And Si Teng seemed to sense Gastly’s evil taste, and the vine began to tremble. However, after a while, Si Teng did not see a dark shadow, and she also enjoyed the dim moonlight.
The vines seemed to be covered with a white light.
This is the essence of moonlight, which is of great benefit to monsters. Except for most monsters that devour humans, it is an important energy for other monsters.
Chapter 36: The Arrival of the Four Purposes (Old Version)
At the same time, Yuhe Village, shrouded in the night, seemed particularly peaceful and tranquil. However, this tranquility was soon broken – Taoist Simu led his clients into the village.
The moonlight fell on the ground like water, illuminating the outlines of Taoist Simu and the figures behind him. Taoist Simu was seen jumping and skipping, as if he was in a very happy mood. The zombies behind him were extremely stiff, following Simu closely.
When they just entered Yuhe Village, Gao Jin, who was in charge of night patrol, and his team of ten happened to pass by. Gao Jin saw the familiar figure at a glance and couldn’t help but smile: “Master Simu!”
As his shout rang out, the entire team of ten people also looked in the direction of Taoist Simu. Simu stopped after hearing the voice, turned around and waved to Gao Jin, indicating that he heard it.
At the same time, a faint smell of corpses quietly entered the noses of Gao Jin and others. The smell was very weak, but it made people feel a chill rising from their spines.
Not only that, there seemed to be a hint of yin energy mixed in with the corpse gas, adding a bit of weird atmosphere.
However, despite being in such a gloomy and terrifying dark environment, Gao Jin and others did not show too much panic.
They had experienced countless storms and seen all kinds of strange things in the past few months. In comparison, this little anomaly was nothing.
After all, in this world full of demons and monsters, what is most lacking is terrorist incidents.
What’s more, their Youlin Town is located deep in the mountains, so there are even more strange things.
Otherwise, why do people admire extraordinary masters so much?
It is because of the extraordinary master that he can resist all kinds of demons and monsters.
“Hey, Gao Jin, you are really diligent. You are patrolling so late.” Simu also saw Gao Jin and shook the corpse-suppressing bell in his hand to stop the zombies behind him. He walked up to him and said with a smile.
Gao Jin glanced at the zombies behind Simu and said, “Master Simu, we have rebuilt the charity cemetery. I will take you there.”
“Okay.” Simu did not refuse and responded with a smile. At the same time, he was a little shocked. He did not expect Gao Jin’s strength to improve so quickly.
He has broken through to become a mid-level warrior, which is the mid-level Taoist master realm. He is much stronger than some of the younger generation of Maoshan.
However, thinking about the fact that Gao Jin had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but had never tamed a beast, that was why he hadn’t made any breakthroughs, this was simply a result of years of hard work, and Simu understood that.
Gao Jin ordered the others to continue patrolling, while he led the four men to the charity cemetery.
At the moment he gave the order, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the endless darkness. Looking closely, it turned out to be a hideous Gastly with a strange aura quietly appearing.
This Gastly floated silently to the side of the ten-man team like a ghost and followed closely behind them.
On weekdays, Gao Jin and the team he led always carried out patrol missions in this way. However, if Gao Jin left temporarily for some reason, another Gastly would take his place and continue to accompany the team to carry out patrol work.
When they were inside the village, the situation was relatively safe and stable, so only an ordinary Gastly was needed to follow them. But once they arrived at the important area of ​​Yuhe Wharf, the situation became serious.
Because this is not only a key hub for Youlin Town’s external exchanges and trade, but also the lifeline of the entire town’s economic development.
Therefore, when patrolling here, there will always be a powerful intermediate Gastly leading eight primary Gastly, always keeping a high level of vigilance and closely monitoring all movements around.
They are like loyal guards, standing guard at their posts day and night, protecting the peace and prosperity of Yuhe Wharf.
At the beginning, the initial ten Gastlys had reached intermediate level of strength, while the newly born forty Gastlys were only at beginner level of strength.
Only slightly weaker than the Overlord Gastly.
Si Mu looked at the ten-man team going away and said with some regret, “You are really careful. I’m afraid the area around Youlin Town has been turned into an iron barrel by you.”
Back then, this area was just a wasteland, but now a small town has been built on the ground. It is actually no longer a village.
But because the population is too small, Lin Mo still calls it a village.
“Master Simu, this is all ordered by the Lord. In addition, a group of monsters launched a series of attacks last night. We cannot be careless.”
When Simu heard this, he was a little shocked. He didn’t expect that Youlin Town had experienced such a thing last night. A group of monsters discovered that attacking human gathering places had not happened for a long time.
Although sometimes one or two monsters would attack human villages, Simu had never seen such a large-scale attack.
Therefore, Simu couldn’t help but ask, “What did you do? How could you allow so many monsters to attack?”
“It’s just that we killed a few more monsters, so they couldn’t bear it anymore, and finally came here to die.”
Listening to Gao Jin’s indifferent voice, several black lines appeared on Simu’s forehead. He was afraid that he almost killed them all. Based on Simu’s understanding of Lin Mo, he must have killed too many monsters in the mountains close to Youlin Town, otherwise there would not be such a large number of monsters coming down the mountain.
After all, even a rabbit will bite if it is cornered, let alone a group of powerful monsters.
But Simu didn’t know that Lin Mo was more ruthless than he thought. He wanted to use those as tools, but he didn’t expect that the remaining monsters were actually under the command of the old fox.
Directly attack Youlin Town, finally Lin Mo could only order a massacre. Although there were no powerful tools, obtaining a large number of monsters’ flesh and blood could make the Youlin Guards even more powerful.
That’s also good.
“By the way, Taoist Simu, do you know Master Ikkyu?”
After he and Simu had arranged his clients, Gao Jin asked.
As soon as these words fell, Simu’s expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal and said, “Of course I know him. How come that old monk is here too?”
Of course he knew the old monk Ikkyu, he was his old enemy, but he hadn’t seen him for two or three years since the old monk left.
But according to Gao Jin, there is a 50% chance that the old monk Ikkiu is in Youlin Town, otherwise Gao Jin would not have asked this question.
“That’s right, Master Ikkyu is in Youlin Town.” Gao Jin nodded. After all, Ikkyu helped a lot last night. Some powerful monsters died under his fists.
“Of course I’m going, but I’m not going to see him. I’m going to see Lin Mo.” Simu said without saying anything, but what he said was not a lie, he really wanted to see Lin Mo.
To have a relationship with an extraordinary master, you still need to keep in touch from time to time. Otherwise, you will only look for someone when you have something to do. Do you really think you are so powerful that you have to ask others to come and help you as soon as you call them?
Since it was Ikkyu, it was just a by-product.
Chapter 37: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road (Old Version)
The next day.
When the first ray of sunlight rose, wisps of smoke rose from Youlin Town, and the originally quiet streets became lively.
One shop after another opened its doors and started doing business.
However, in the welcoming courtyard of Youlin Town, interesting things were happening.
“Oh, I thought you went to the West to see your Buddha?” Simu looked at Master Ikkyu opposite him and said sarcastically.
Because it was too late last night, Gao Jin could only take Simu to the reception courtyard to rest. This was a courtyard for some guests to stay in, and it was specially marked out by Lin Mo.
When Gao Jin brought Simu to the reception courtyard, Master Ikkyu and Qingqing had already gone to bed, so Gao Jin did not disturb them.
After arranging Simu to stay, he left.
Although Simu was unhappy about living in the same yard with Master Ikkyu, he was tired after traveling all night, so he went straight back to his room to sleep.
If you have anything to say, wait until he wakes up.
The reason why Simu woke up so early today was because he was woken up by Master Ikkyu’s morning class.
Originally, Master Ikkyu was supposed to do evening classes, but because he was afraid of disturbing others’ rest, he changed to morning classes. However, just after he had done the morning class for a while, someone pushed open his door.
Originally, Master Ikkyu thought that someone was looking for him for something, but when he heard that annoying, yet familiar, sarcastic voice, he knew who it was without even looking.
“Oh Nidha Buddha, I have been there, but the Buddha asked me to take the Taoist priest with me, so I came back.”
Master Ikkyu turned around and saw his old enemy. He said with a smile on his face, but his tone was full of ridicule.
“Oh, I don’t believe in your Buddha. Old monk, I belong to the Taoist ancestor.” Simu retorted unhappily. As soon as he met this old monk, he felt that nothing good was going to happen.
“Who are you?” At this moment, Qingqing’s voice sounded from behind Simu. Simu turned his head and saw a girl holding breakfast.
This made Simu look at Ikkyu with a strange expression, as if he had some bad intentions.
Ikkyu seemed to know what Simu was thinking, and before Simu could ask, he introduced: “Simu, this is my apprentice Qingqing.”
Upon hearing this, Simu nodded at Qingqing.
Qingqing also greeted him politely: “You must be the Taoist priest Simu that my master mentioned.”
The reason why Qingqing knew Simu was because Ikkyu had told her about Simu many times over the years, so Qingqing remembered Simu’s characteristics very clearly.
In addition to the fact that Ikkyu just called out “Simu”, Qingqing knew who it was without thinking, so she called out without Ikkyu introducing him.
“That’s right, he is the Maoshan disciple Simu. Qingqing, you can just call him Taoist Simu.” Seeing Qingqing being so smart, Ikki nodded with satisfaction and spoke at the same time.
“Hello, Taoist Simu.” Qingqing heard it and called out again.
“I never thought that old monk would have such a well-behaved disciple. It’s really the manifestation of your Buddha.” Seeing this, Simu started to praise Ikkyu while stepping on him.
When Ikkyu heard this, he rolled his eyes at him, then went to the table and prepared to have breakfast. Even if they were going to argue, they had to eat first.
After Qingqing called Simu again, she put the breakfast on the tray on the table at the side. It was two bowls of porridge and two plates of pickles.
“Hey, Ikkiu, is this all you guys are eating?” Seeing that Ikkiu ignored him, Simu seemed to be very unhappy. He came to the dining table and started to mock him.
“That’s right. I’m not as arrogant as Simu. He always has big fish and meat for breakfast. How about it? Do you want to change your taste and try my simple meal?”
Ikkyu was not angry either. He knew his old rival very well, so he spoke with a smile.
There was no sign of anger.
Qingqing looked at Simu like this. Although she was unhappy, she didn’t know what to say since he was an elder.
But she didn’t understand why her master seemed to enjoy it.
If Lin Mo were here, he would tell her, you won’t understand what a pair of bickering lovers are like.
“Gurgle…Gurgle…” Simu was about to refuse when he heard this, but before he could open his mouth, his stomach spoke first, which made Simu feel embarrassed.
He hadn’t expected that his stomach would be so uncooperative and actually started growling at this moment, embarrassing him in front of the old monk.
But this is normal. Simu had been traveling all night last night and only ate a few bites of dry food. Coupled with the rice aroma of the rice porridge, it is normal for Simu to feel hungry.
“Qingqing, go get another bowl of porridge.” Seeing this, Ikkyu did not exclude him and said to Qingqing beside him.
Qingqing nodded when she heard this, and went outside to get some rice porridge.
“What’s wrong? After not seeing you for so long, Simu, you have changed your personality.” After Qingqing left, Ikkyu saw that Simu had not sat down yet, so he started teasing him.
“Tsk, I just got up, can’t I just stand?”
Hearing Simu’s stubborn words, Yixiu echoed, “Okay, okay, then you stand slowly.”
After Ikkyu finished speaking, he started to eat breakfast and ignored Simu.
Seeing this, Simu curled his lips, didn’t say anything, and started eating.
At the same time, Lin Mo was here.
Lin Mo also got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and prepared to go downstairs. However, he had just taken two steps when Si Teng’s childish voice came over.
“Hey, hey!? Wait a minute, pour water on me, do you want to drink me to death?”
The tone sounded like he was ordering a servant, which made Lin Mo frown. Then he continued to walk downstairs without looking back, and at the same time, Lin Mo’s cold voice rang out.
“First, I’m not shouting hello! Second, I’m not your slave! Third, if it happens again, I’ll let you know what eternal darkness is!”
Lin Mo’s last word made Si Teng on the balcony tremble uncontrollably. The crystal green vines shrank unconsciously and she started to mutter at the same time.
“Is it necessary to be so fierce? You are such an unlovable little devil.”
However, Lin Mo was unaware of Si Teng’s mumbling, as he had already gone downstairs.
You can’t be nice to someone with a bad temper like Si Teng, otherwise she won’t be able to distinguish the priorities.
“My lord, you’re up.” As soon as Lin Mo reached the first floor, a pretty maid came over and greeted him.
This maid was sent by Old Li. Lin Mo didn’t want her at first. After all, he grew up under the red flag and he was not used to being served by others.
However, nothing Old Li said would do. He had to arrange for a few maids to come. Not to mention other things, they would need people to do the washing and cooking. Otherwise, what was the point of a lord cooking and washing clothes?
After hearing this, Lin Mo had no reason to refuse. In fact, Lin Mo could cook. After all, he was an orphan in his previous life and he knew how to do housework.
Lin Mo nodded and said, “Xiao Xia, prepare breakfast.”
“Yes, my lord.” Xiao Xia responded and walked away.
Chapter 38: Youlin Academy (Old Version)
When Lin Mo finished his breakfast, Zhang Wen walked into the Lin Mansion with a stack of documents. When Lin Mo saw this, he felt a headache.
These documents all require Lin Mo’s signature.
Lin Mo left some small matters to Zhang Wen and Mr. Li. After all, he was not afraid of the two of them betraying him, so he was very willing to give up power.
But there are some things that require his approval as the lord, such as education. Now that Youlin Town has stabilized, many things need to begin.
Talent is very important in any world.
Now his territory is still small, and he can continue to operate with Zhang Wen and his men, but sooner or later he will expand to the surrounding areas, and then there will not be enough manpower.
Therefore, he needs to nurture his own talents, no matter what aspects they are in.
Lin Mo lowered his head and signed each document. Looking at Lin Mo’s serious expression, Zhang Wen became even more loyal to Lin Mo.
The current Youlin Town can be so prosperous all because of Lin Mo, or they are the executors, but Zhang Wen, Li Lao, and Gao De all know it.
This Youlin Town exists because of Lin Mo.
So for Lin Mo, more than 80,000 people in three villages and one town are very grateful to Lin Mo. If it weren’t for Lin Mo, they wouldn’t have the peaceful life they have now.
When Zhang Wen’s thoughts were flying far away, Lin Mo’s voice came into his ears, bringing Zhang Wen back to his senses.
“Zhang Wen, are there enough teachers in our school?”
“My Lord, there are enough teachers to teach literacy, but not many other subjects.”
Lin Mo could hear the helplessness in Zhang Wen’s tone. If he taught people to read, there would still be many people who would like to do so.
After all, although this era is backward, there are literate people in every village, and it is still very easy to teach illiterate children.
But it’s different for other subjects, such as mathematics, physics, etc., which are hard to find.
If you want to find these teachers, you need to go to the provincial capital, such as Foshan.
But it was just a start-up, so Lin Mo could only improve it slowly and not rush it. Thinking of this, Lin Mo said in a relaxed tone: “We can’t rush this matter. We can teach them to read first, and then we can do the rest slowly.
At this point, Lin Mo paused and his tone became serious; “However, ideological education is the top priority. We must let them know why they study.”
Zhang Wen nodded solemnly upon hearing this. As for ideological education, he also knew that it was for the future of Youlin Town, and he was fully aware of its importance.
“Don’t worry, my lord. The teaching of this lesson is in the charge of the instructors of Youlin Guard.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction. The instructors of Youlinwei were all trained by him, so he was very relieved.
Next, Lin Mo and Zhang Wen chatted intermittently.
At this time in Youlin Town, on the street in the center of Youlin Town, outside a building covering an area of ​​three or four acres, a large sign was hung in front of the gate of the building, with four flamboyantly written characters on it, “Youlin School”.
This is the first school in Youlin Town and also the future of Youlin Town.
Today is the day when Youlin School is recruiting students. Five long queues have already formed in front of the school gate.
The person in charge of admissions this time is Mr. Li.
Looking at the bustling and prosperous Youlin Town, Mr. Li sighed in his heart. In just half a year, the changes were so great that he could hardly adapt to them.
Back then, they had to worry about having enough food to eat and were afraid of monsters and demons that suddenly appeared. It was not like now, when they could have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and even learn to read and write.
This was something he had never dared to imagine at first, but now it has all come true.
Listening to the townspeople’s conversation, Mr. Li felt even more satisfied.
“Hehehe, I never thought our children could learn to read and write. In the past, only rich people could do that.”
“This is all thanks to you, my lord. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have enough food to eat and we would have to be on guard against those monsters and demons.”
“Of course. If anyone dares to say something disrespectful to the Lord, I will beat him to death.”
“Yes, me too.”
Although there were many people, the townspeople all lined up obediently and no one made trouble. If someone had made trouble, the security guards from the surrounding schools would have easily taken action as they would have been dealt with by the townspeople.
As time passed, the townspeople who had registered left with their children, all with bright smiles on their faces.
“Wow! It’s so lively here. What’s going on here? Is there anything nice to see or delicious to sell?”
At the same time, Qingqing’s voice was filled with curiosity, and she looked at the long queue in front of the school gate with curiosity on her face.
Behind her followed Simu and Ikkyu.
Originally they were planning to meet Lin Mo, but when they passed by the center, they found it so lively here, so they came over to take a look.
“I didn’t expect it to be a school.” Simu looked at the four big words “Youlin School” on the gate and said with some surprise.
“This school is too big, and all these townspeople have come here to sign up. Are all the townspeople of Youlin Town so rich?” Although Ikkyu was also surprised, he was more surprised that more than half of the people in Youlin Town came here to sign up.
You know, in his impression, reading is something exclusive to the rich. For some ordinary people, it is like the sky, something that can only be seen but not touched.
After all, not to mention other things, the tuition fees alone are not something that ordinary people can afford. There are also some book fees and the like. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to support a child in school.
Otherwise, in this era, there wouldn’t be so many people who cannot read a single word in their entire lives.
But now more than half of the townspeople of Youlin Town have come. How could he not be surprised?
“Master…Master, I know what’s going on?” Qingqing trotted over and said.
Just now, Qingqing saw how lively it was here, so she joined in. After finding out everything, she walked out. At the same time, she also heard what her master said, so she spoke.
“Oh, Qingqing, what’s going on? Tell me about it.” Ikkiu asked with some curiosity after hearing what his apprentice said.
The same was true for Simu on the side. He was also very curious.
“Master is like this…” Qingqing didn’t waste any words and directly told everything she had just found out.
Simu and Yixiu listened to Qingqing’s words with a look of admiration on their faces. They didn’t expect that Lin Mo was so generous that he could let people learn to read and write for free and also provide lunch.
Even Simu and Ikkyu, who had traveled all over the country, had never heard of this matter, let alone seen it.
“I was right about Lin Mo.” Si Mu looked at the five long dragons and sighed.
Ikkyu had the same expression. At this time, Ikkyu understood why Youlin Town was so different from the others.
All this is because there is a special person in Youlin Town.
The three of them looked for a while and then left.
Not far from them, Huo Jinxi looked at Youlin School with a complicated expression and left.
Chapter 39: Golden Claw God (Old Version)
Movie: Start with a Gastly Lair: Chapter 39: The Golden Claw God
At this time in the Lin Mansion, Lin Mo handed all the signed documents in his hand to Zhang Wen, and at the same time said to Jin Suanpan below: “Jin Suanpan, the Wanghou Tomb is handed over to you. We need a lot of money for development during this period.”
The reason why Yu Jinsuanpan appeared here was because he was talking with Zhang Wen just now, and the topic of money came up again.
This made Lin Mo feel helpless. He had just given Zhang Wen a large amount of money, but now he was crying poor. Lin Mo sometimes wondered if the person who was in charge of money would always cry poor.
At that time, he asked Zhang Wen, didn’t he give a large amount of money before? And those Gu Dong, who also received a large sum of money from Huo Jinxi, actually said that they had no money.
But what made Lin Mo speechless was that Zhang Wen said calmly that the lord wanted to do this and that, and also wanted to sell arms, which was not enough. This made Lin Mo helpless, and he scratched his head, and then he remembered that he had a royal tomb here.
So Lin Mo called someone and asked Jin Suanpan to come over.
So, the golden abacus appeared here.
Upon hearing this, Jin Suanpan immediately said, “Don’t worry, my lord. I have already figured out where the king’s tomb is last night. As long as you send someone to me, I will bring back the treasures in five days.”
For a tomb raider like him, finding a cemetery was not a difficult task. Moreover, he had a complete map, which made it even easier.
Lin Mo was overjoyed when he heard this and said three good words in a row.
“Okay, okay, as long as you can bring back the money, I’ll give you credit.”
“I will not let my lord down.” Jin Suanpan was delighted when he heard this and responded immediately.
He had just joined Youlin Town and hadn’t done anything yet, but he got a beast. He felt very ashamed about this. Now that he had the chance to contribute, he was of course happy.
Moreover, he also needed some merit to gain a foothold in Youlin Town.
“Well, go find Rishan, he will arrange it.” Lin Mo was very satisfied with Jin Suanpan’s confidence, and then Lin Mo asked him to find Zhang Rishan.
“Yes, my lord.” Jin Suanpan bowed and left.
Seeing this, Zhang Wen said something and left.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Lin Mo let out a breath. At the same time, Gastly emerged from Lin Mo’s shadow. The black mist turned into a spirit snake, grabbed the fruit on the table and threw it into his big mouth, and started to chew it with “Crunch!! Crunch!!”.
Seeing this, Lin Mo laughed and scolded: “Foodie…”
Then, Lin Mo picked up an apple and started eating it.
This is a typical behavior of Lin Mo. He only talks about others but not his own performance. To put it simply, he is a black-bellied person.
The Overlord Gastly didn’t care about what his master said and continued to eat the fruit on the table with a smile.
Lin Mo ignored it and opened his attribute panel. However, Lin Mo’s attention was on the luck value and evolution value.
Luck value: 275,000
…
Evolution value: 23,000…
At this time, the luck value is more than 200,000, and the evolution value is more than 23,000. Such values ​​can be exchanged for a good nest.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo’s eyes unconsciously looked towards the mall, where he saw various nests, Kokodora’s nest, Agumon, Zanpakuto, etc…
Two hundred thousand luck points could be exchanged for Kokodora’s nest, but this kind of Pokémon required a large amount of iron minerals, which he could not afford now.
As for Agumon and Zanpakuto, they cost 500,000, which is not something he can exchange. But it is normal to think about it. Whether it is Zanpakuto or Agumon, the power of them is not comparable to that of Kokora.
Afterwards, Lin Mo continued to scroll down and look at other nests. Now he needed a beast that could attack from a distance and over a large area.
In the battle the night before, he also discovered the weaknesses of the current Youlin Town. Although they had the help of Gastly, many of the Youlin Town were injured because the Youlin Guards lacked long-range attack weapons.
If there were some powerful long-range weapons, at least half of the monsters could be killed first, so Lin Mo asked Zhang Wen to buy some hot weapons.
Ordinary thermal weapons can only cause certain damage to monsters, but for ordinary people, these thermal weapons are also a kind of magic weapon.
No matter what, hot weapons are indispensable.
“Long-range, large-scale attack…” Lin Mo swiped the screen that only he could see, muttering to himself, and suddenly Lin Mo’s hand paused.
At this moment, Lin Mo’s eyes seemed to be shining, and a pattern was displayed on it. The picture showed a robot character with yellow and black stripes.
The robot has a unique design, with a crown-like decoration on its head and purple eyes. It has a complex body structure, strong limbs, and seems to be equipped with some weapons or tools.
Full of the beauty of steel, that assembly-line-like body made Lin Mo almost drool.
This cannot be blamed on Lin Mo. After all, no matter who the man is, he cannot refuse Gundam. This is the dream of 99% of men.
Moreover, he recognized the robot in the picture. This was the Golden Claw God in “Martial Arts Battle”, the new version, which was much more handsome than the old one.
In addition, the lair of the Golden Claw God only costs 200,000 luck points, which is just about all of his luck points.
However, Lin Mo did not act impulsively and continued to check out other pictures. Pictures of robots appeared in Lin Mo’s eyes one after another.
However, to Lin Mo’s disappointment, the flying characters he wanted in “Martial Arts Battle” were more expensive than the Black Armored Beast and required 300,000 luck points.
This made Lin Mo sigh that flying was really expensive.
Afterwards, Lin Mo could only choose between the Black Armored Beast and the Black Panther Beast, but in the end Lin Mo still chose the Black Armored Beast. Who told him to like the Black Armored Beast, or rather, he liked the Golden Claw God.
He also wanted to have a Grand Marshal Golden Claw God. After all, in every nest, there was a lord who tamed the beasts, such as the Overlord Gastly.
“Hey, hey, my golden claw god, here I come.”
Then, Lin Mo did not hesitate and pressed on the Golden Claw God Picture. Immediately, his luck value flowed into the Golden Claw God Picture like water.
“Buzz buzz buzz!!!” Then, bursts of golden light emerged in the air, covering the entire Lin Mansion, scaring the Youlin Guards and the waitress Xiaoxia who were in the Lin Mansion.
They were stunned at first, and then immediately wanted to rush into the hall because they thought something had happened to Lin Mo, but as soon as they got close, a loud shout was heard.
“Stop, don’t come closer!!”
At the same time, two lightning-fast figures directly grabbed Xiao Xia and the two Youlin Guards.
The two Youlin guards were about to fly into a rage, as they actually wanted to stop them from rescuing their lord. This was courting death, but when they turned around, they saw that it was a familiar person. The two Youlin guards stopped, but still questioned the two men.
“Master Simu, Master Ikkyu, why are you stopping us?”
Although these two people have helped Youlin Town, since it involves Lin Mo, they don’t care who it is.
Chapter 40: The King of Machine Battle (Old Version)
“Idiots! I’m saving you!” Si Mu glared at the two Youlin Guards and shouted loudly.
Simu’s shout made the two Youlin guards at a loss for how to respond for a moment. After all, they really didn’t understand why Simu said that.
Ikkiu saw the confusion of the two Youlin guards, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it into the building, in front of everyone’s eyes.
As soon as the small stone came into contact with the golden light, it turned into ashes in an instant.
This frightened the two Youlin Guards and the little maid Xiao Xia, and they took a step back unconsciously. They had not expected that they were so close to death.
If Ikkyu and Simu had not stopped them just now, I am afraid they would have turned into blood mist in an instant like the small stone.
This made the three of them feel terrified.
Knowing that Yixiu and Simu were trying to save them, the two Youlin Guards and Xiaoxia immediately apologized and asked about Lin Mo’s safety.
“Master, will our lord be okay?”
“Yes, Master, nothing can happen to our lord.”
Simu and Ikkyu looked at each other when they heard this. They both saw the shock in each other’s eyes, but it only flashed by for a moment. It seemed as if they were in sync with each other.
“It’s okay. Your lord should have made a breakthrough in strength.”
“That’s right, just guard the door.”
Upon hearing this, the two Youlin Guards breathed a sigh of relief. As long as their lord was fine, that was enough.
“All of you retreat. No one is allowed to come near here without our notice.” At this moment, two figures appeared in the yard like a gust of wind, and one of them gave the order.
These two people were Gao De and Jin Suanpan. They were both nearby. When something unusual happened here, Gao De and Jin Suanpan rushed over.
Both of them are extraordinary people and are very fast.
But Zhang Wen is not a superhuman, so his speed is much slower.
Seeing that it was Gao De and Jin Suanpan, the two Youlin Guards responded and retreated.
“Master Ikkyu, Taoist Simu, is this…” Gao De walked to Simu and Ikkyu and asked, but stopped before he finished his words.
Jin Suanpan did not say anything, but stared at the building shrouded in golden light. He would definitely not make a mistake. This was the anomaly of the awakened supernatural nest.
Twenty years ago, he had the opportunity to witness the birth of an extraordinary master with his own eyes. Although the nest was different, he would not mistake the mysterious aura.
However, there have been people who awakened a second nest in history, but they were all geniuses. If awakening one extraordinary nest is already a genius, then awakening a second one is a genius among geniuses.
In history, the First Emperor awakened five extraordinary nests, among which the Black Dragon Nest was the key point for the First Emperor to unify the nine provinces.
However, these are all passed down from unofficial calendars, and whether they are true or false needs to be confirmed.
However, the person who can awaken the second nest has not appeared since the Qing Dynasty ruled Kyushu. Perhaps this is the destiny of Kyushu, and it has never recognized the Qing Dynasty.
However, there are also famous people in history who can awaken the second nest.
Thinking of this, Jin Suanpan felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He was really lucky to have found a super powerful figure.
But Ikkyu and the other two had no idea what Jin Suanpan was thinking.
The three of them were talking at this time.
“I didn’t expect that the double riders, who hadn’t appeared since the Qing Dynasty entered the country, would appear now.”
“I should have thought of this a long time ago. Since Lin Mo awakened at the age of ten, it is very likely that he will awaken the second nest.”
“God really helps Youlin Town.”
The expressions of the three people were different. Simu and Ikkyu had sighs on their faces, while Gaode had a look of surprise.
According to historical records, the Master who awakens the second extraordinary Master is called a double Master.
At this moment, Lin Mo was surrounded by a mysterious golden light, which gently caressed his skin, making it sparkle with a charming luster.
“Crack!! Crack!” At the same time, a series of crisp bone sounds came from his body, as if he was undergoing a wonderful reshaping.
This change made Lin Mo’s face become hideous, because the pain caused by bone reorganization is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure. Even Lin Mo is no exception.
However, Lin Mo clenched his teeth and did not shout out.
Afterwards, black impurities were continuously discharged from his body, which made Lin Mo’s body gradually become more perfect.
Lin Mo did not expect that this extraordinary nest would be so torturous. When he awakened the Gastly nest, there was not much pain at all. He just needed to sleep for a while.
It was like now, as if all the bones in the body were broken and reorganized, and then broken and reorganized again, repeating over and over again.
But Lin Mo forgot that when he first woke up, he was actually in a coma. It was all controlled by the system. Moreover, his soul was in a deep coma at the time and he couldn’t feel anything at all.
“Mecha-War Emperor!!!! Mecha-War Emperor!! Our Mecha-War Emperor is back!!”
At the same time, a low groaning sound came into Lin Mo’s mind, which made Lin Mo’s brain, which was a little depressed due to the pain, alert.
“What’s this sound? Could it be the sound of the Black Armored Beast?” Lin Mo muttered to himself, and then the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
Lin Mo felt the intensity of the war in his blurred consciousness, and his ears were filled with the sound of continuous fighting.
“Kill! For the beast tribe!!!”
“Stop it, for the bikers!!”
“Hahaha!! Backup energy activated!! Die with me!!”
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!”
The entire battlefield was filled with the sounds of explosions and fighting.
“Boom!!!” With a loud bang, Lin Mo’s consciousness suddenly returned to his body. The fierce battle scene disappeared in an instant, and he returned to the familiar environment.
“Buzz!!” Immediately afterwards, the golden light shrouding the yard gradually dissipated, turning into countless light spots, slowly disappearing into the air.
“It’s finally over. It really took my life. But what’s going on in that scene just now? Is it a world of martial arts battles? Otherwise, why are there only warriors from the beast tribe and the motorcycle tribe?”
Lin Mo thought about what had just happened, it was really like being there.
Shaking off the things in his mind, Lin Mo stopped thinking so much. There was no point in thinking too much now. After all, they were not in the same world.
Then Lin Mo opened the property panel.
Physical fitness: 100 (human limit 10)
Black Armored Beast Lair (0/10000)
, steel bones, fit together.
Luck value: 7500
Chapter 41 Human Desire (Old Version)
“We’re back to the time before liberation again, and two hundred thousand luck points are gone again.” Lin Mo looked at the luck points which were only a few thousand, with a helpless look on his face, but there was nothing he could do about it.
But although he lost 200,000 luck points, his gains were proportional. For example, his body, with its iron bones and muscles, made him invulnerable to swords and guns.
However, there is an upper limit. If it exceeds the upper limit, Lin Mo will be injured.
There is also a fusion skill, which can be said to be Lin Mo’s trump card. The fusion skill is just as it seems. As long as it is used, it can merge with any black iron beast, which can double Lin Mo’s strength.
However, this skill has a drawback, which is that it can only be combined for half an hour.
However, despite this shortcoming, this is already a magical skill. Now as long as he merges with it, he can kill creatures above the level of a great demon.
Such an existence is also a first-class figure in the supernatural world.
It can be said that Lin Mo is now a master in this spiritual world.
At the same time, Lin Mo used 10,000 evolution points in the black-armored beast’s nest. The progress bar increased rapidly, and in just a blink of an eye, it was full.
A golden light flashed by Lin Mo’s body, and then he disappeared. The Black Armored Beast’s nest also reached the intermediate level, the same level as Gastly’s nest.
Looking at the forty tall figures that were regenerated in the Black Armored Beast’s lair, shining with a steely luster, Lin Mo showed a satisfied expression, especially there was a golden figure among them that surprised him.
“My Lord…are you okay?”
“My Lord…”
Just then, footsteps were heard, as well as the voices of Gao De and Jin Suanpan.
This made Lin Mo look unconsciously, and he saw Gao De, Jin Suanpan, and Ikkiu, the four of them, walking quickly into the hall. Looking at their expressions, Lin Mo knew that he had just awakened the Black Armored Beast’s nest, and they all said it.
But this is normal. After all, as long as the people nearby are not fools, they can see the magical golden light.
Moreover, Lin Mo is not planning to hide completely. His current strength is not to be underestimated. As long as the opponent’s strength is not too great, he can still give it a try.
What’s more, he is not alone. He also has the Dark Forest Guards, the Black Armored Beasts, Gastly and others. Anyone who dares to look down on him will be in trouble.
Although he had thought a lot, Lin Mo did not show it. He looked at Gao De and Jin Suanpan and said, “I’m fine. Please prepare some hot water for me. I need to take a shower.”
The debris that had just been expelled from the body made Lin Mo very uncomfortable, and there was also a faint smell.
After all, this is the impurities deep inside the body, so it is normal to have a smell. In fact, if the Gastly Nest had not been awakened last time and a large amount of the impurities had been expelled, I’m afraid this smell would make me question my life.
Gao De and Jin Suanpan also saw the black debris on Lin Mo’s body and knew what it was. Seeing that Lin Mo was fine, they immediately went downstairs to prepare hot water.
After seeing the two of them go down, Lin Mo looked at Simu and Yixiu. Seeing their expressions, both of them were full of admiration, he smiled and said, “Master Yixiu, Simu and you two are so destined to meet. You can actually meet like this.”
When Simu heard this, he looked at Ikkiu next to him with some disdain and said unhappily, “Who has a connection with this old monk? If I had known that this old monk was here, I would not have come.”
At the same time, he showed it through his actions by staying away from Ikkyu.
For Simu, no matter what time it is, he will never forget to mock Ikkiu.
In the original novel of “Uncle Zombie”, even when fighting with the royal zombie, he would not forget to bicker.
Ikkiu didn’t care about Simu’s attitude. Instead, he looked at Lin Mo and congratulated him, “Donor Lin, congratulations on your further improvement in strength. This is really cause for celebration.”
Ikkiu didn’t ask much about what kind of beast Lin Mo had awakened. Judging from its state just now, it wouldn’t be a simple exotic beast. Besides, prying into other people’s secrets is a taboo at any time.
So Ikkyu wouldn’t be so stupid as to ask that.
“Thank you, Master Ikkyu. If you are willing to stay in Youlin Town, I will not let you down.” Upon hearing this, Lin Mo’s eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he continued to invite him.
He wanted to try again to see if he could keep Master Ikkyu, the great monk. After all, no matter what, Ikkyu was a person at the pinnacle of Qigong. As long as he took one more step forward, he would be able to fight against the big monsters.
By then, his territory will expand and he will have people guarding it.
Attracting all kinds of talents is necessary for a force, both now and in the future.
Simu, who was standing by, was surprised to hear that Lin Mo actually invited the old monk, and judging from the situation, this was not the first time.
At the same time, there was a thoughtful look in the four eyes.
Should he also stay in Youlin Town? After all, whether for Jiale or himself, staying in the deep mountains and forests all the time is not a solution.
Although he is a disciple of Maoshan, he only has average talent in Maoshan and cannot be compared with Uncle Jiu and others. The most he can reach is the Guiyuan Realm, which is the realm of a great demon.
By then, his strength will be limited.
It is impossible to enter the secret realm of Maoshan, so joining forces with a potential mortal force is also a way out.
After all, there are only so many resources in this world, and of course they will be given to those with the best talents.
It’s the same for any sect in the spiritual world. All those who are neither good nor bad like the Four Eyes need another way out.
Simu thought so much, but Lin Mo and Ikkiu didn’t know. After Lin Mo made the invitation, he kept looking at Ikkiu to see how he would answer.
This time, Ikkyu didn’t refuse directly like last time, but looked thoughtful.
Master Yixiu thought of the various laws of Youlin Town, Youlin School, Qingqing, and finally Lin Mo. Looking at Lin Mo above, a firmness flashed in Yixiu’s eyes.
Or maybe this was an opportunity for him.
For a practitioner, who doesn’t want to go further? But like Simu, he will probably stop at Guiyuan in this life.
Without a great opportunity in this life, he would not be able to reach a higher level.
And Lin Mo, who can awaken the second extraordinary nest, may be his opportunity.
Those who can become dual riders are all people with great luck. No matter what, working under such a person is not a bad thing.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you from now on, my lord.” After thinking everything through, Ikkyu didn’t waste any words. He immediately performed a Buddhist salute and said with a smile.
“Hahaha, okay, okay, Master Ikkiu, don’t worry, I won’t let you down.” Lin Mo laughed out loud when he heard Ikkiu’s words and said “OK” three times in a row.
It was enough to show how happy Lin Mo was.
Although he was a little surprised why Ikkiu agreed so quickly this time, after thinking about it, Lin Mo understood.
In this world, everyone has desires, even saints are the same. Otherwise, how could the saying “as long as saints live, thieves will not stop” be passed down?
Even a saint would go to great lengths to make the next step, let alone Ikkyu.
Although Ikkyu disdains all kinds of power and money in the world, what he wants is to go further and higher in his spiritual practice.
This is desire, and nothing in the world can escape it.
Chapter 42: Chizuru’s Arrival (Old Version)
Afterwards, Lin Mo looked at Simu. He also really wanted Simu to stay, both because of their relationship and his strength.
“Simu, why don’t you stay in Youlin Town? If you don’t think about yourself, think about Jiale. Being alone in the deep mountains and forests, not only is it lonely, but it’s also dangerous.”
What Lin Mo said was true. It was not a good thing for Jiale to stay in the deep mountains and forests.
“Okay, for Jiale, I will stay in Youlin Town. I’ll have to trouble you, Lin Mo, from now on.” Simu heard this and looked like he was doing it for Jiale. He was taking advantage of the situation and was acting like a good kid, which made Yixiu roll his eyes.
But Ikkyu didn’t say anything. With Simu around, he wouldn’t be so bored in the future.
To be honest, he was not used to not having Simu to chat with him.
Lin Mo didn’t care about Simu’s title. No matter what, Simu was a disciple of Maoshan and it was impossible for him to recognize his master casually. However, he didn’t care whether Simu recognized his master or not.
As long as he is in Youlin Town, he will not watch if anything happens in Youlin Town.
The reason why Master Ikkyu recognized his master so readily was because his sect had long since fallen into decline and only a few people were left. The beast on Ikkyu’s body was just the one left over from his sect.
After all, no matter what, it is a sect that has been around for hundreds of years, so it is normal to have some hidden cards.
“Master Ikkyu, Simu, where do you want to build the Taoist temple and the Buddhist temple? You can decide for yourself. I will talk to Zhang Wen about it.”
Now that they have joined, Lin Mo thought of their dojo.
“I don’t need it. The charity cemetery in Yuhe Village is suitable for me.” Simu heard it, waved his hand and spoke.
He had been to the charity cemetery in Yuhe Village last night. The location was exactly the right place for Yin, and the charity cemetery was also spacious. He was very satisfied with the charity cemetery.
“Okay, then the charity cemetery in Yuhe Village will be handed over to you, Simu.” Lin Mo nodded. He didn’t say much about Simu’s choice and nodded to agree to his request.
After all, Yuhe Village is the transportation hub of Youlin Town, and its future development will not lag behind.
Simu’s vision is still very good.
Seeing this, Yixiu’s eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said with a smile: “My lord, I need to take a closer look before I can choose a place. I will talk to Zhang Zongguan when the time comes.”
“Hey, old monk, you’d better build it far away. I don’t want to have an old monk like you as my neighbor.”
When Ikkyu heard Simu’s words, he smiled but didn’t say anything.
When Lin Mo saw Ikkyu’s expression, he knew what Ikkyu was planning. He just wanted to continue being neighbors with Simu.
Lin Mo didn’t want to interfere with these two bickering lovers.
“My Lord, the hot water is ready.”
Just then, Gao De and Jin Suanpan walked in and said to Lin Mo.
“Okay, then you can go and do your own things.” Seeing this, Lin Mo asked the four people to go down. No matter what, he had to wash himself. He was really dirty and felt very uncomfortable.
The four of them saw this, said something, and left together.
If Lin Mo hadn’t gotten into trouble, both Gao De and Jin Suanpan would have had something to do.
After the four people left, Lin Mo also walked towards the bathhouse.
At the same time, after Gao De and others left the Lin Mansion, Gao De ordered the Youlin Guards who had blocked the place to go back.
“Da da da!!!” After receiving Gao De’s order, the one hundred Youlin Guards lined up in an orderly manner and followed Gao De away.
Jin Suanpan also followed Zhen closely. He needed to find Zhang Rishan. After all, the tombs of kings and princes needed manpower.
Ikkiu and Simu looked at the Youlin Guards who were leaving, exchanged glances, and were about to say something when a somewhat resentful voice reached their ears.
“Master, what were you doing in there? It took so long, and you didn’t even let me in. You made me wait here for several hours. This is really too much.”
When Ikkyu heard the voice, he felt a little embarrassed and almost forgot about his apprentice Qingqing. When he discovered the unusual movement here, Ikkyu and Simu used magic to rush over.
They left the little girl Qingqing behind, and then both of them forgot about the existence of Qingqing.
If Qingqing hadn’t spoken, Ikkiu wouldn’t have been able to react yet.
“Haha, Qingqing, this is Master’s fault.” If you make a mistake, you must admit it. Ikkiu said with an embarrassed smile.
Seeing this, Qingqing pouted her lips, but she did not complain anymore. Instead, she asked, “Master, when are we leaving Youlin Town?”
Yixiu did not answer Qingqing’s question, but asked back: “Qingqing, don’t you like Youlin Town?”
When Qingqing heard this, she said without thinking, “I like it, but didn’t you reject Lin Mo, Master?”
She remembered this clearly.
“Then we will be in Youlin Town from now on. I have just agreed to it. From now on, we will be part of Youlin Town.” Master Ikkyu said with a smile upon seeing this.
When Qingqing heard this, she was stunned at first, then she was delighted and jumped up with joy.
“Master, is what you said true? Can we really stay in Youlin Town?”
Yixiu looked at Qingqing who was so happy, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then he said with a smile: “Of course, has the master ever lied to you?”
“That’s great, Master. Do you know? This Youlin Town is different from the previous towns. Everything here is like a dream. This…”
Qingqing stroked Ikkiu’s arm while Diedie kept talking.
Ikkiu just looked at her with a smile.
Simu on the side muttered unhappily: “You are the only one who has an apprentice, and I have one too.”
Simu thought that he would go back tomorrow and bring Jiale to Youlin Town.
At the same time, on a small path in Yuhe Village, a team of more than a hundred people, pushing a large cart, walked out of the woods.
This group of people were none other than Qianhe and his companions, but they were all in a very miserable state. In order to hurry on their way, they had not had any rest at all during this period of time.
Only take a ten-minute break when you can’t hold on any longer.
After all, Qianhe was afraid that the big demon was following her, so she was on guard all the time, which consumed a lot of her energy. It would be strange if she didn’t look embarrassed.
However, when Qianhe saw the bustling Yuhe Village in the distance, he was a little stunned. When did a small town appear here? He remembered that this place should have been a wasteland before.
There were hardly any people here before, but now there are people coming and going. There are many large ships docked on the Yu River. It is simply an extremely prosperous town.
Was he dazzled? Thinking of this, Qianhe rubbed his eyes unconsciously.
“Master, let’s go quickly. There is a town ahead and we can finally take a rest.” At this time, Adong came over and spoke with excitement in his tone.
It’s not just Adong, the same goes for the rest of the team.
They were all exhausted from all the traveling.
Even the chatterbox manager Wu didn’t have the energy to speak. At this moment, they just wanted to have a good rest.
