Disaster Strikes

Before leaving the blacksmith shop, Chen Mo naturally had to follow the usual practice and eat and drink with the forgers and apprentices who dealt with him every day.

After all, they had been together day and night for a year, which was also a fate.

But it was different from the past.

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

The people of Yinchuan did not have too much morality and gratitude. He said goodbye to these people just to satisfy his heart, just like a story has an ending, and there was no other intention.

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

At least there was no need to worry about being remembered by greedy people.

The next day.

After leaving Yinchuan alone, Chen Mo walked towards the direction of Hei Zelin.

Hei Zelin is the name of the locals in Yinchuan, and the people of Da Zhou prefer to call it Giant Sophora Forest.

Here, the vegetation is lush and there is wetland miasma everywhere. Like Yinchuan, it is a sparsely populated area. There are only a few towns in the vast land.

But compared with the various monster legends in Yinchuan, Hei Zelin is full of ghosts and weirdness.

Chen Mo was on his way, reading, reciting the classic quotations he had learned and knew. Occasionally, he would meet passers-by and chat, but they would often only look down on him, thinking that Chen Mo was a nerd who didn't understand the world.

"Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and pacify the world."

"Without rules, there can be no square or circle."

"The right way has many supporters, and the wrong way has few supporters."

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you..."

This walk took more than ten days.

Unlike when he was a student, he just recited for the exam.

After so many days of travel, in a turbulent world, Chen Mo suddenly felt that these classic quotations might not just be the principles of life, but a group of idealistic romantic people, persistent shouting in troubled times.

After the Zhou emperor, the rituals and music collapsed, and then in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms coexisted.

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

As the saying goes: "Although we have different surnames, since we three have become brothers, we will work together to help the poor and the needy, report to the country, and bring peace to the people."

"Although I am a warrior, I also know the words of loyalty and righteousness. Birds that bathe in the water can live in good trees, and ministers who choose their masters can meet wise masters. This is enough for my life."

"Me too!"

"I don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year."

Are riot worlds and disaster worlds not like this?

As he moved forward, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Chen Mo's righteousness grew day by day, and he finally arrived at the Hei Zelin area.

Crackle!

Before, the sun was shining brightly, but now it was already covered with dark clouds. With bursts of lightning and thunder, heavy rain fell from the sky.

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

A moment later, he saw a dilapidated temple and ran in to take shelter from the rain.

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

Chen Mo saw no less than 20 or 30 temples along the way. Except for the Liu Daxian Temple in Yinchuan at the beginning, the incense of other various temples may have flourished for a while, but then they were abandoned for various reasons.

In the abandoned temple, a group of people were roasting fire and eating meat at this moment, so happy.

As Chen Mo broke in, everyone looked over.

"Haha, brothers, I was out and it rained heavily. Please help me."

Chen Mo wiped the rain off his face and greeted everyone in the temple in a familiar way.

A hideous bearded man saw this, bit off a piece of barbecue with a big knife in his hand, sneered, and snorted.

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

Chen Mo, who was looking at the statue in the temple, heard the words, took off the gourd on his waist with a smile, took out the evil sword, and took the initiative to walk towards the bonfire surrounded by the group of people.

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

"We are all wanderers in the world, so why do we have to know each other when we meet? Let me borrow your fire to dry clothes and warm up with this pot of wine."

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw this.

Then the bearded man laughed loudly, obviously attracted by Chen Mo's generosity.

"Come on, come on, eat meat!"

"Drink."

Chen Mo quickly became one with these ferocious men.

After a while.

As the strong liquor went down, the mood of the people was obviously high, and they even sang and danced with weapons, which shows that the local people are tough.

"Oh, sister, there is a temple in front where we can take shelter from the rain!"

"Great, we are all soaked, let's go in."

Just as everyone was singing and dancing around the bonfire, two young and beautiful women broke in from the door. After they broke into the broken temple, they saw a group of disheveled men, and immediately pretended to be polite and slightly covered their thin green clothes.

Then.

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

"It's them!"

The two women were stunned when they heard it.

Then the man said: "Where did you trick Xiaoyue to!"

"It's time to work! Two female ghosts, brothers, grab your weapons!"

The robbers who were disheveled the moment before turned into bounty hunters who exorcised demons the next moment, picked up their weapons and rushed towards the two women.

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

"Reveal yourself!"

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.

"Why."

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 here.

Each of these bounty hunters had extraordinary skills, and the magic hunter at least had 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 get away!"

"Dragnet!"

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.

"Let's 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 of experience. "

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.

"good!"

"I agree."

"I agree too."

No one has any 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."

"Haha, good!"

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 "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra". It can calm the mind and concentrate the mind. Reading it every day will bring endless benefits."

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

I don’t know how much time passed.

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

"What a monster!!"

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.

There was a bang.

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. Others picked up flames and threw them at these densely packed fibrous roots.

"ah……"

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

When the magic hunter saw this, he 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 thirty years!"

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

After more than thirty years of Taoism, he has just broken through the second stage. Although it is extremely powerful for ordinary people, because it is 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 howl hysterically.

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

Then it was completely quiet outside.

The silver bell spun in Chen Mo's right hand, and turned into a silver bell again, which was put into his sleeve. Everyone turned around slowly and looked at Chen Mo in amazement.

"Haha, this locust tree spirit is indeed amazing, but I have the power of Buddhism to ward off evil spirits. It has been seriously injured by my full-strength attack just now. I wish you all a good start tomorrow."

Next, Zeng Qiusheng naturally invited Chen Mo to join many times, but Chen Mo refused every time.

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

"Okay then."

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Zeng Qiusheng no longer insisted and could only sigh helplessly.

"Haha, it turns out that brother Chen Mo is actually a master, and we brothers are blind."

The magic hunter was also a generous person, and he immediately thanked Chen Mo.
