disaster strikes

Chapter 699
Before leaving the blacksmith shop, Chen Mo naturally had to follow the usual practice of eating and drinking with the blacksmiths and apprentices who deal with it every day.

After all, getting along day and night over the past year can be regarded as a kind of fate.

But it's different from before.

This time Chen Mo did not say goodbye, but chose to leave directly.

People in Yinchuan don't have much morality and gratitude. He said goodbye to these people just to satisfy his heart. It was similar to a story having an ending, with no other intention.

So Chen Mo chose to leave without saying goodbye, which would save him a lot of trouble.

At least you don't have to worry about being remembered by greedy people.

the next day.

After leaving Yinchuan alone, Chen Mo walked in the direction of Heizelin.

Black Ze Forest is the name of the local people in Yinchuan, and people in the Zhou Dynasty prefer to call it the Giant Sophora Forest.

The vegetation here is lush and the miasma of wetlands is everywhere. Like Yinchuan, it is an inaccessible area with only a few towns in the vast land.

But compared to the various monster legends in Yinchuan, there are all kinds of ghosts and grotesques in Heizelin.

Chen Mo was reading while driving, silently reciting the classic quotations he had learned. Occasionally he met passers-by and chatted with them, but he often only received disdain from passers-by, thinking that Chen Mo was a nerd who didn't understand the world.

"Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace."

"If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle."

"Moral support from many, scant support."

"Do unto others, do not impose on others……"

This journey lasted more than ten days.

Unlike when I was a student and just memorized for exams.

After traveling for so many days and living in a turbulent world, Chen Mo suddenly felt that these classic quotes might not be just principles of life, but the persistent cry of a group of idealistic and romantic people in troubled times.

After the Emperor of Zhou, rituals and music collapsed, and then at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms stood side by side.

The reason why classics are spread is not because of the chaotic battles for hegemony that are repeated over and over again, nor because of the brilliant battles between counselors and generals, but because a group of men with a romantic spirit gathered together and worked hard for the ideals and ambitions in their hearts.

As the saying goes: "Although we have different surnames, since the three of us have become brothers, we will work together to rescue the poor and those in danger, report to the country, and keep the common people safe."

"Although I am a martial artist, I know the word loyalty and righteousness. It is enough to nourish my birds, find good trees to live in, choose my master's ministers, and meet my enlightened master. This is enough for my life's wish."

"Me too!"

"I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day."

Isn't this the case in a world of riots and disasters?

Along the way, Chen Mo felt a lot of emotions in his heart. Chen Mo's ambition grew stronger day by day, and he finally arrived at the Black Zelin area.

Crackling!

The sun was shining brightly before, but now there were dark clouds, and with bursts of lightning and thunder, heavy rain fell from the sky.

Chen Mo put a banana leaf on his head and strode forward.

After a while, he saw a ruined temple and immediately ran inside to take shelter from the rain.

In the riot world, similar abandoned temples can be said to be everywhere.

Along the way, Chen Mo saw no fewer than twenty or thirty temples. Except for the Liu Daxian Temple at the beginning of Yinchuan, other various temples may have been prosperous for a while, but then they disappeared because of Abandoned for various reasons.

In the abandoned temple, a group of people were roasting themselves over the fire and eating meat, having a great time.

As Chen Mo broke in, everyone looked over.

"Haha, brothers, it rains suddenly while you are away from home. Take a break."

Chen Mo wiped the rain off his face and greeted everyone in the temple familiarly.

Seeing this, a ferocious bearded man bit off a piece of barbecue with a big knife stuck in his hand, sneered and snorted.

"Who are you? Do you know who we are?"

When Chen Mo, who was looking at the statues of gods in the temple, heard this, he smiled and took off the gourd from his waist, took out the Evil Sword, and actually walked towards the bonfire around which the group was surrounded.

Regardless of the reaction of several people, he actually sat down cross-legged, placed the evil sword on his legs, took out the wine gourd and signaled to everyone.

"We are all fallen in the world, so why should we meet before? Let's use your fire to dry our clothes, and this pot of wine to warm our bodies together."

Seeing this, everyone froze for a moment.

Then the bearded man burst out laughing, obviously attracted by Chen Mo's boldness.

"Have fun, come on, come on, eat meat!"

"drink wine."

Chen Mo quickly became involved with these ferocious-looking men.

After a while.

As the strong drink drank, everyone's mood obviously rose, and they started singing and dancing with weapons, which showed that the folk customs here were strong.

"Oh, sister, there is a temple in front of you to take shelter from the rain!"

"Great, I'm already soaked. Come in quickly."

While everyone was singing and dancing around the bonfire, two young and beautiful women broke in outside the door. After they broke into the ruined temple, they saw a group of unkempt men. They immediately pretended to be slightly covered by their gauze green clothes. .

Followed by.

A relatively gentle man in the crowd suddenly stood up from the ground.

"It's them!"

When the two women heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Then the man said: "Where did you deceive Xiaoyue!"

"Here comes the work! Two female ghosts, brothers, copy the guy!"

The robbers, who were disheveled one moment, turned into bounty hunters slaying demons the next, picking up weapons and rushing towards the two women.

The bearded man turned out to be a magic hunter. He made hand gestures and muttered words.

"Appearance!"

The two women screamed and turned into their original forms.

One of the women, whose body was covered with banana leaves, turned out to be a banana spirit and sprayed out a large stream of mucus towards everyone.

The other woman turned into a pink skeleton with some dead hair on her head. She summoned seven or eight skulls and flew towards everyone.

"Hey."

Chen Mo sighed and shook his head.I thought there was going to be a good show, but I didn't expect to get straight to the point before the erotic part that I love to watch has started.

These two female ghosts are elite creatures who usually make a living by seducing men who pass by.

These bounty hunters are all very skilled. The magic hunter at least has the strength of a small boss. Under the siege of everyone, in just a moment, the two female ghosts showed signs of weakness and were ready to escape.

"Don't let them run away!"

"Tianluodiwang!"

The magic hunter's net fell from the sky and trapped the plantain spirit.

Another female ghost was killed on the spot by everyone.

"Tell me, where is Xiaoyue!"

"The White Bone Spirit in Black Jue Mountain is missing a pair of maids. The Sophora Tree Spirit wants to exchange Xiaoyue for some spiritual springs. We..."

Under this banana spirit's explanation, Chen Mo finally understood what happened.

This gentle-looking man is named Zeng Qiusheng, and he is a disciple of the Mohist Mechanism.

Just like Que Yimen, the Mohist Mechanism Technique is also the descendant of the mortise and tenon craftsmanship, but it's just a different sect.

Zeng Qiusheng has a sister named Xiaoyue. When he passed by here a few days ago, he was coaxed and taken away by a female ghost. When he found out, it was already too late. Although he had a few props on him, they were more than enough for self-defense, but he wanted to Conquering demons and slaying demons is far from it.

So he traveled to the town day and night and hired a magic hunter at a high price.

"Black Jue Mountain!!"

Everyone took a deep breath, obviously they were very taboo about this forbidden area.

As for the Sophora japonica tree spirit in her mouth, several people looked at each other. Although their expressions were solemn, they did not flinch.

Gradually.

The rain outside stopped and it became dark.

"It's better to wait until dawn tomorrow before going. According to what this banana spirit said, this locust tree spirit has more than a dozen little demons and imps like her, so this locust tree spirit has at least several decades. The way of doing things."

Everyone deeply agreed with what the bearded man said.

He continued his analysis: "The locust tree is also known as the ghost tree. It is born with the property of attracting lonely souls and wild ghosts. It has three-thirds of ghost properties. If we go there during the day and the scorching sun hits, its power will be reduced by at least three points. .”

Listen to what he means, this locust tree spirit actually has some ghostly nature because of his special physique?
This made Chen Mo, who had been given a year of free service to various weapons in Yinchuan and a year of super service, couldn't help but feel itchy.

"it is good!"

"I agree."

"I agree."

Everyone has no objection to this.

Only Zeng Qiusheng was worried about Xiaoyue's safety, but didn't know how to speak, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Chen Mo naturally saw his dilemma, but had no intention of intervening.

"Come on, brother Chen Mo, eat meat."

"OK!"

After drinking and eating, when Chen Mo took out the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" and recited it silently, the crowd's eyes suddenly widened.

"Brother Chen Mo, what are you doing?"

"To be honest with you, I am a practitioner. This is the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra". It can calm the mind and concentrate. Reading it every day will bring endless benefits."

Chen Mo quickly became immersed in it and forgot about time.

I do not know how long it has been.

Chen Mo felt a sudden impulse, as if he was being targeted by something dirty, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where is the evildoer!!"

Chen Mo let out a deafening roar.

When everyone heard this, they were horrified and took up their weapons to be on guard.

Only then did Zeng Qiusheng notice that a large number of fibrous roots spread out from the dark shadow, almost surrounding the ruined temple, and continued to spread toward everyone.

As a descendant of the Mohist family, Zeng Qiusheng immediately took out an exorcism fire thunder and threw it.

Boom.

The exorcism fire thunder exploded, and a large number of fibrous roots were instantly burned to ashes.

The magic hunter had an additional demon mirror in his hand. Wherever the rays of light passed, the fibrous roots withered one after another. Others picked up flames and threw them at these densely packed fibrous roots.

"what……"

The banana spirit, who was tied up by everyone, let out a shrill scream and was forcibly dragged into the darkness.

Seeing this, the magic hunter was about to chase after him with a demon mirror, but he saw a dozen tree roots sticking out of the darkness outside the door. Not only did he stop him, but he also injured two people in a short period of time. His expression changed drastically.

"It seems that this is the locust tree spirit that is causing trouble in the dark. It has been practicing Taoism for at least 30 years!"

Based on a hundred years of Taoism, Centipede Jing is a second-level sub-boss.

Having practiced Taoism for more than 30 years, that is, he has just broken through the second stage. Although it is extremely powerful for ordinary people, due to being contaminated with ghost nature, it is only troublesome for Chen Mo, who has the power to ward off evil spirits.

Just as everyone in the temple was in chaos.

"Roar!"

A golden sonic boom emitted from the mouth of the silver bell, which not only tore apart the tree roots protruding from the darkness in an instant, but also caused the locust tree spirit in the darkness to wail hysterically.

The sound waves were like landslides and tsunamis, sweeping towards the door.

Then it became completely quiet outside.

The silver bell turned in Chen Mo's right hand, turned into a silver bell again, and put it into his cuff. Everyone slowly turned around and looked at Chen Mo in shock.

"Haha, this locust tree spirit is indeed amazingly powerful, but it possesses the power of Buddhism to ward off evil spirits. It has been severely injured by my full blow just now. I wish you all a victory tomorrow."

Next, Zeng Qiusheng naturally invited Chen Mo to join many times, but Chen Mo rejected them all.

He has become accustomed to a relatively peaceful life in time traveler.

"OK then."

After seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Zeng Qiusheng no longer persisted and could only sigh helplessly.

"Haha, it turns out that brother Chen Mo is actually an expert. It's because our brothers are blind."

The magic hunter was also a generous person and immediately expressed his gratitude to Chen Mo.
