Chapter 918: Ginger Is Still Spicier when Old
The young palace maid let Lin Mo and Xiao Lu into the courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, and the houses on both sides are no different from those where other palace maids and eunuchs live. They are simple, plain, and nothing special.
An old eunuch in front stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, watching Lin Mo and Xiao Lu come in.
Not surprisingly, this old eunuch is the old Taoist priest that the Feng Shui Master boss mentioned, that is, Taoist Zhu Yun's senior brother.
"I'm taking the liberty of visiting!" Lin Mo said politely.
"It doesn't matter." The old Taoist priest was also very polite.
This actually doesn't feel good.
The reason is very simple. It is obviously the first time they meet, but the other party acts as if he knows that he is coming. Whether it is true or not, he is just pretending.
Lin Mo doesn't like to beat around the bush at critical moments.
He likes to be straightforward.
"Taoist Zhu Yun's senior brother, an old Taoist?" Lin Mo asked.
Although I guess it must be the other person, I still need to confirm.
"Yes, it's me." The old Taoist priest readily admitted.
Lin Mo asked why you knew we were coming. He was not surprised at all, nor was he curious about what we did.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "Little brother, you don't know something. Apart from the ghosts who have been assimilated by this palace, people like me who can still maintain themselves will basically know it as soon as they come down. After all, in this place, We have stayed for too long, and you two are as conspicuous to us as candlelight in the dark night."
Lin Mo imagined that scene.
In the originally dark room, the two of them seemed to be wandering around with two 100-watt light bulbs on their heads.
Basically, every move is under the control of others.
This is a bit embarrassing.
"So, you knew it from the moment we came down?" Lin Mo asked.
The old Taoist priest nodded.
That’s what it means.
Lin Mo understood why Taoist Zhu Yun could find them easily.
Why was it that the five Feng Shui masters were able to launch an attack on Taoist Zhu Yun after they left, but after the failure, they argued that they had attacked the wrong person?
It is estimated that the old Taoist priest has long seen these things.
That's why the old Taoist priest wasn't surprised at all when he and Xiao Lu came over. Two big light bulbs came over in the dark environment, so he knew it in advance.
That's fine.
This saves you a lot of time.
If you have anything to say, you can say it directly.
"So, do you know what our purpose is?" Lin Mo asked.
The old Taoist priest nodded.
The strong aura of living beings in your body means that your body is not dead, so you must be trying to get out of here.
"What I mean is, you two should not go out."
The old Taoist priest said something.
Lin Mo asked why.
"The Feng Shui formation here was set up by Mr. Chunfeng. It is used to seek good luck, avoid evil, and resolve evil spirits. Once you enter, you will not be able to get out again, and there will be no way out."
The old Taoist priest said it categorically.
As if this is the truth.
Lin Mo said that's not right, even if according to what you said, you can't go out under normal circumstances, but you can break the formation and escape.
It's like being trapped in a room without a door.
You can't just stay like this.
Gotta think of something.
The simplest is to break a wall and get out.
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest shook his head repeatedly and said no, no.
"Why not? Can a living person be choked to death by urinating? You have to try." Lin Mo was still very optimistic. The old Taoist priest said that you misunderstood. I'm not talking about whether you have this ability, or that you can't get out even if you do this. .
"I mean, you can't do this."
"Why?"
"Because I won't let you do that."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at the old Taoist priest, who also looked at Lin Mo.
Just at this time, the palace maid came out with tea.
The old Taoist priest asked her to make tea just now, and it was ready now.
"Your daughter?"
Lin Mo thanked him first and then asked.
"Daughter, say hello to these two."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the young palace maid bowed gracefully.
Looks pretty good.
She has that kind of gentle and virtuous temperament.
She must be very similar to her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have broken the old Taoist priest's Taoist heart and made him meet his fate.
After that, the old Taoist priest asked his daughter to go back to the house.
There were three of them left in the yard again.
Xiao Liu looked at the tea on the table, took a sip, smacked his lips, and said he wanted to drink more.
"I'll give you this cup too."
Lin Mo handed it over.
Then he looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "What if I must do this?"
The old Taoist priest chuckled.
He knew what Lin Mo was talking about.
He was not angry, but said calmly: "Little brother, I understand your mood, but there are many things in this world that cannot be completely satisfactory."
"For example, I was taken up the mountain by my master when I was seven years old. I learned a whole range of skills, including gong, Dharma, technique, theory, and art. I am proficient in all of them. But even I still have to surrender to numerology. It really took me a long time. It took me a lot of blood to understand this truth, so I hope you, little brother, don’t learn from me and struggle for a long time only to find that the results have not changed. It is better not to do it from the beginning. Good struggle.”
Lin Mo smiled and said that if you bang your head against the wall, it's your own problem. How can you say that other people are the same as you?
"You can't just pick up a hair on the ground and say it's from a mouse. Maybe it's from a cat, right?"
Lin Mo obviously didn't want to hear the other party's reasoning.
To put it nicely, this is truth; to put it poorly, it is fallacy.
"Young people like to use their sense of purpose. This is not a bad thing. On the contrary, I admire it very much. Just like my incompetent junior brother Zhu Yun and those five Feng Shui masters with ulterior motives, they like to use their sense of purpose. You see, even if they do I don't blame them for doing something wrong, or even doing something sorry for me, and I don't seek revenge from them, but there still has to be punishment."
"What punishment?" Lin Mo asked.
From what the old Taoist said, he seemed to know what Taoist Zhu Yun and the five Feng Shui masters had done.
He even knew that his daughter was framed by these guys.
Otherwise, his life would not have been lost.
This was definitely a blood feud, but I didn't expect that the old Taoist priest didn't take revenge.
Especially if he is capable of revenge.
It feels even more incredible.
"Of course, I took away what they were planning to get, but didn't tell them, and let them plan for hundreds of years. In the end, they found out that it was all in vain. This is the punishment I want to give them."
When the old Taoist priest said this, Lin Mo felt a bit murderous and heart-wrenching.
And from what the old Taoist said, the other party had already obtained what Taoist Zhu Yun and the five Feng Shui masters planned.
But he didn't tell anyone and just watched them play monkey.
This level of revenge and revenge is indeed very high-end.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and realized that what Taoist Zhu Yun and the five Feng Shui masters planned was the emperor in the Hall of Cultivation of Heart.
In other words, it is the yellow robe and the jade seal.
With these two things, the new emperor in Qianlong Palace has supreme power, and can absorb the evil energy accumulated in the entire Feng Shui array for hundreds of years.
So according to the old Taoist priest, these things are already in his hands?
Lin Mo looked the old Taoist priest up and down.
"Anyone can tell lies, so prove it."
"OK!"
The old Taoist priest nodded, reached out and pulled off his coat.
Inside, the other party was actually wearing a dragon robe.
It's golden, and it looks very rich and mighty at first glance. Originally, the old Taoist priest was not tall and had a little hunchback, but when he put on his dragon robe, he suddenly became taller.
It really complied with that statement.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
This way of dressing up and tidying up is just different.
Before, he looked like a wretched old eunuch, but now, he is a proper emperor, the emperor himself.
The old Taoist priest wearing a dragon robe looked majestic.
Lin Mo didn't know what to say for a while.
"Little brother, look, isn't this what they are trying to get?"
The old Taoist opened his arms and showed off his dragon robe.
Then he put down his hand and said: "To be honest, the evil spirit leaking out here is just some of my tricks to deceive them. My junior brother and the five Feng Shui masters think they are smart, but in fact they are very stupid. How could I not know that they were the ones who planned all this in the first place?"
"According to my original idea, I would play with them for a few more days, wait until they think they have a chance to win, and then take action, letting them taste the bitter pill of despair. But I didn't expect that you two showed up unexpectedly."
"Just show up if you show up. In the past few hundred years, there have been people who accidentally entered this place accidentally. Most of them have been assimilated here and become muddy ghosts. It's not surprising. But you two are obviously the same as the people before. no the same."
"You are much better than I thought. You actually succeeded in counterattacking in the formation arranged by five Feng Shui masters, and it was a crushing victory. This is a very beautiful thing, and I have to admire you. "
"I can't keep people like you who are smart and powerful. Don't blame me for being ruthless. It's true that keeping you two will definitely cause trouble in the future. What I fear most is trouble."
As he spoke, Lin Mo noticed someone pushing the door in. In addition, the surrounding walls were filled with people at some point.
He is the emperor's sword-carrying guard.
These guards were wearing armor and had gloomy expressions, without any unnecessary expressions.
The knives in their hands glowed with cold light, leaving no doubt about their destructive power.
Lin Mo estimated that even if the gods of the Redemption Society came over, they would still die under this random knife.
Obviously, the old Taoist priest will kill him if he disagrees with him.
Moreover, the other party was obviously much more powerful than the five Feng Shui masters. Before coming, Lin Mo really didn't notice anything. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded without realizing it.
"Taoist Master, what do you mean?" Lin Mo asked immediately.
"Can't you see it? It's so obvious." The old Taoist priest spread his hands.
Lin Mo said he could tell.
"It's not necessary, really. I feel like there is some misunderstanding between us? You've just said a few words and you're getting impatient. What's the matter? Why can't we discuss it carefully? What are you doing?"
Lin Mo gave good advice.
Tell the other party not to be impulsive. Why are you still so uncool at such an old age?
The old Taoist priest smiled and asked Lin Mo, can we talk?
"Of course we can talk?" Lin Mo nodded.
"Then you have given up the idea of breaking the formation?" the old Taoist priest asked again.
Lin Mo immediately shook his head: "No, I have broken this Feng Shui formation."
"That's nonsense." A hint of murderous intent flashed in the old Taoist priest's eyes.
"Of course we have to talk. If you don't talk, how do you know I don't agree?" After Lin Mo finished speaking, he took out his pencil, pulled out Sister Yue, and threw a bronze mirror to the old Taoist priest.
"Do it!"
"Kill me!"
Lin Mo and the old Taoist priest shouted almost at the same time.
I just discovered that the book club group is gone. Who is in the group? Why not? what happened?
