After Lin Mo returned to Xu's Mansion, he was greeted by Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen for a while, and the couple's sentence "Dao Chang is okay" and "Dao Chief, you are fine" made Lin Mo a little embarrassed. After all, he had wanted to go over quietly to find out the situation, and then come back without alerting anyone.

"I'm fine, it's just that I was a little careless, and I was attacked by the monk."

Lin Mo explained clearly, and everyone was much more relieved.

"Xiaoqian, I'm worried about you." Lin Mo thanked the person who first found out that something was wrong.

Xiao Qian, who was always standing next to her, just quietly looked at the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "Engong is polite." ”

Lin Mo nodded, thought about it, took off the jade pendant on his waist, and handed it over: "Since this has become your magic weapon, you can hold it." I don't have much money now, so if I have any good magic weapons in the future, I'll give you another one. ”

Although thanks to this jade pendant magic weapon, Lin Mo's abnormal appearance can be known to Xu Xian and them, but the actual ability of this magic weapon is too small, let alone a normal battle, even if it is taken out, it is a little cheap...... Lin Mo felt that when he had the conditions, he might as well change the magic weapon for Xiaoqian.

This was a good intention, but for some reason, Xiao Qian's face stiffened, and she was slightly pale, as if she wanted to disperse the transparent ghost body of the spell.

"Uh, what's wrong with you?" Lin Mo was shocked in his heart: "Cultivation has gone wrong?" ”

Xiao Qian pursed her lips, shook her head, reached out and took the jade pendant artifact, without saying a word.

She didn't speak, but Xiaoqing spoke: "Daoist, where is your Qingjiao sword?" ”

"I've been ingested into my body." Lin Mo asked strangely, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”

"Just a casual question." Xiaoqing said. raised his eyebrows, as if he was very proud. When Xiao Qian saw it, her face became even darker, and she said, 'I'm going back', and turned to leave.

Lin Mo felt that something was wrong: "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”

"How could it be. You're telling the truth. Xiaoqing said triumphantly, turned around and left, but before leaving, he finally explained: "Taoist, you stay here honestly, don't run around!" Otherwise, I want you to look good! ”

Seeing that both of them had left, Lin Mo frowned and looked at Xu Xian: "Brother Xu." What's going on? Why do I think it's weird? ”

Xu Xian blinked. Before she could speak, she let Bai Suzhen beside her stop her first, only to see her face a little embarrassed and said softly: "Dao Chief, this is your business." I don't know anything with the officials. ”

Let's talk about it. She also left directly with Xu Xian. Only Lin Mo's eyes widened and he looked around, dazed.

"It's like it's all my fault?!"

……

The next few days. Lin Mo still listened to Xiaoqing's advice, and didn't mess around, just stayed in the Xu Mansion to meditate and meditate. Occasionally, if I have some thoughts, I will get up and wander around the city of Suzhou to see the excitement of ancient society. Well, I have to say, ancient snacks have a different flavor.

After all, the task now is to guard against Fahai's attack, if it is not to directly smash Huanglong like last time and directly drag Fahai outside, it is better to guard Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.

Of course, in fact, there is still a way: rush directly to the outside of Jinshan Temple, without saying a word, raise the Ziwei Star Dou Mirror, manipulate Zhou Tianxing's power to directly press down, and directly crush Fahai and Jinshan Temple into ash, so that there will be no problems...... The problem is even bigger, okay!

Lin Mo is a cultivator, not the underworld of the earth world, and his actions are in order. Especially as a practitioner of the righteous path, it is even more upheld to the right path. Sudden surprise attacks and destruction of people are very rare even in the evil way!

What's more, there is cause and effect between heaven and earth, and even if it is a god and Buddha, none of them can escape the cycle of cause and effect. If Lin Mo behaved like this without saying a word today, he would not be able to guarantee that thirty or fifty monks with supernatural powers higher than Fahai would come tomorrow, and at that time, it would be impossible to repel them, even self-preservation. Even Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian had to suffer together, and they were directly characterized as cruel and murderous demons......

All in all, things are done, but the practice is always within the rules. That kind of idea can be done once and for all, but that's the treatment of the tree spirit grandma, and the others should forget it.

After walking around and eating some snacks, Lin Mo returned to Xu's mansion. But as soon as he arrived at the gate, he was surprised to find two sedan chairs parked at the door, and many officials were standing aside.

"What's going on? An official came to Xu Xian? Is that Chen Lun, the prefect of Suzhou? ”

Lin Mo blinked, stepped into the Xu Mansion, and headed straight for the main hall. Sure enough, when he arrived at the door of the lobby, he saw Chen Lun's rather majestic face sitting upright on the side, watching a young man on the main seat chatting with Xu Xian, nodding in agreement from time to time.

That's right, it was a young man sitting on the main seat, or a young man who Lin Mo was more familiar with. Seeing Lin Mo's appearance, the young man immediately got up and greeted Lin Mo with great joy.

"Immortal Chief, I can see you again!"

Lin Mo, who was a little surprised, greeted him with a smile: "The prince is not enjoying happiness in the capital, why did he come here?" ”

Lin Mo didn't know many people, and there was only one young man who could make Chen Lun, a member of the Suzhou prefect's officialdom, back down: Liang Lian, the son of King Liang.

"Since the Immortal Elder is here, how can I not come?" Liang Lian first bowed deeply, and then said: "Immortal Chief's great grace to save his life, I haven't repaid it yet, how can I turn a blind eye to you?" ”

It turns out that Liang Lian is also a heart. After getting rid of the centipede essence and toad essence and making Liang Lian, who was almost dead from the demon poison, recover, he immediately arranged for people to come to Suzhou City to take care of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. Oh, these people didn't enter the Xu Mansion to become a family, but started their own business in Suzhou City, always paying attention to Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. If there is any trouble, there is no need for the two of them to worry, these people from the Liang Wangfu will come to the door and settle those things.

This is really a good thing, after all, Liang Lian's identity is not ordinary, as soon as his identity is revealed, it is only in the world. No one has dared to fight it yet. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen have been able to develop so smoothly in the past six months without any trouble, and Liang Lian has made a lot of efforts.

And after Lin Mo appeared, these people immediately sent the news back to Liang Wangfu, and as soon as Liang Lian learned about it, he immediately set off to meet Lin Mo, the life-saving benefactor.

"There is Lao Shizi." When Lin Mo learned of the situation, he also sighed a little emotionally at the moment: "The son of the world has a heart!" ”

Liang shook his head again and again: "Compared to the immortal chief's life-saving grace, this is nothing." Father has explained several times that you are a master of the Tao and don't care about this. But we can't afford to take it lightly. ”

He said it beautifully. But Xiaoqing, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes: "I am also your life-saving benefactor, why don't I see you to repay me?" ”

When Liang Lian heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and stood up.

Honestly. The direct factor that treated Liang Lian at the beginning. It's still Xiaoqing's poisonous bead. So if you really want to count it, not to mention the demon extermination, just on the issue of saving Liang Lian. Xiaoqing is more than Lin Mo for saving his life, and he deserves to be repaid more. But the problem is, Xiaoqing is a snake demon!

At the beginning, King Liang participated in the demon eradication from beginning to end, and the identities of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were also clear. It's okay to let your own son repay the favor, but go to a snake demon to repay the favor...... It can only be said that the ideological gap between King Liang and Xu Xian is still a bit big. Xu Xiandu slept in the same bed with the snake demon and didn't feel anything wrong, but King Liang didn't dare to put his son alone in front of the snake demon.

So it wasn't until today, after the news of Lin Mo's appearance was transmitted back, that Liang Lian was able to get King Liang's permission to come to Suzhou City.

Of course, these are all things that can only be understood but not spoken, although everyone present guessed most of them when their minds turned, but they all thought they didn't know, Bai Suzhen even opened the topic: "All in all, it is already amazing that the son of the world can have this heart." ”

Xu Xian also nodded: "If the prince can do this, he can already become a gentleman." ”

Liang Lian naturally knew that everyone had guessed it, and his heart was empty, and when he heard this, his face was a little hot, and he hurriedly said: "Where is it, the young girl is right, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine." ”

Seeing this situation, Lin Mo suddenly felt the urge to laugh.

According to the original development, this Liang Wang Shizi should have a grudge with Xu Xian, and did everything possible to throw Xu Xian into prison, and he would especially explain that the jailer would use the big punishment to serve, and then the grudge became deeper and deeper, until it finally became a life and death enmity, and was directly killed by Xiaoqing, so that King Liang hated Xu Xian for 20 years, and he never let go until Xu Shilin became an adult, but he didn't expect that at this time, he inexplicably changed his appearance.

Xiaoqing, the original murderer, became Liang Lian's life-saving benefactor, and Liang Lian, the deceased, came to thank him sincerely, and even Xu Xian's words of admiration made him ashamed, and his face was like fire...... Creation in this world is truly amazing!

His expression immediately attracted the attention of others, and Chen Lun smiled and arched his hand: "What happened to the unknown Immortal Chief, he was so happy?" ”

Lin Mo turned his head to look at the prefect of Suzhou who he met for the second time, and said with a smile: "It's just some small things." ”

Chen Lun didn't pursue it, anyway, he just wanted to find a conversation to talk about, so he said with a smile: "I have already heard about the immortal elder, but I didn't expect to meet the day before yesterday." On that day, there were eyes that did not know the real person, and I hope that the immortal will not be blamed. ”

"Immortal Chief, don't take his words as polite words, he really heard about you a long time ago." Liang Lian interjected: "What does he know about the first time you and I met? ”

"Oh?" Lin Mo was a little surprised, he was really like what Liang Lian said, thinking that Chen Lun was saying polite words. After all, the demon subjugation may not be a secret to officialdom like Chen Lun, and it is not uncommon to know this, how can he even know the first meeting with Liang Lian?

Chen Lun smiled and revealed the answer: "Immortal Chief, do you still remember Zhenjiang Zhixian?" That's my cousin! ”

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered: That Zhenjiang Zhixian is also surnamed Chen! Look at this posture, this Chen family is a family of eunuchs!

"My cousin once said to me that the immortal chief is true to the Tao, but I still seemed to believe it at the time, thinking that he was deceived by those Taoist priests who walked the streets and alleys. But when I learned what the immortal chief did later, I realized that I was confused, and the immortal chief was really a master in the world! ”

Chen Lun's praise made Lin Mo a little crying and laughing. But he also understood what was going on, firstly, he didn't recognize him when they met for the first time before, and secondly, now that Liang Lian was in person, wouldn't he, a veteran of officialdom, not praise himself? So Lin Mo also smiled and replied a few words, which meant that "the prefect has said it." In fact, I admire you very much, and you have governed Suzhou City so prosperously."

This is actually the truth, even though the time in Suzhou City is not very long, but in terms of people's lives, it is still very good. And if the people's livelihood is doing well, a few words of praise are still worth it.

This was undoubtedly to the point, Chen Lun's face flushed red when he listened to it, and then he replied with greater strength, and Lin Mo said it bluntly as if the power of the heavenly immortal was infinite......

"Okay, okay, you two don't blush when you blow it." Xiaoqing pursed her lips. interrupted the two of them blowing and flirting with each other. An impatient look: "With this kung fu, it's better to talk about some practical topics!" ”

Lin Mo and Chen Lun reacted at this time, glanced at each other a little embarrassedly, and turned their heads away.

"Ugh. Xiaoqing. Xu Xian was a little puzzled: "What do you mean by the actual point?" ”

"Repay, repay!" Xiaoqing patted the armrest of the chair. Pointing at Liang Lian, he said: "This guy came here to say that he wanted to repay, but what about repayment?" I don't even see a shadow! ”

Liang Lian immediately reacted and immediately said, "Young girl." I have prepared a thousand taels of silver, three boxes of gold, and many famous calligraphy and painting heirloom antiques, all of which are outside and can be sent in at any time. ”

This is undoubtedly a very huge wealth, Chen Lun and Xu Xian were stunned on the spot, but Xiaoqing waved his hand indifferently and shouted, "What kind of reward is this?" Does this thing work for us? ”

Liang Lian was suddenly stuck, and he didn't know what to say.

Although what Xiao Qing said was a bit ruthless, the meaning was good, did the cultivator still lack money? Not to mention Bai Suzhen, even Xiaoqing's current cultivation can use a little stone into gold, what is the use of money for her?

"Then I don't have anything else?" After thinking about it for a while, Liang Lian, who had nothing else but money, spread his hands in frustration, and said helplessly: "Young girl, what can I do as a reward?" ”

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes: "How do I know?" Didn't I repay it? ”

The whole hall was speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, they all spread their hands helplessly, and they really couldn't find anything that could be used as a reward!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Mo was about to say no helplessly, when he was about to maintain his superior posture, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said abruptly: "If the prince really has this heart, it is better to do me a small favor." ”

Liang Lian hurriedly said: "Immortal Chief, you say, but whatever I can do, I will never shirk." ”

Lin Mo smiled: "Then please go to Jinshan Temple!" ”

The power of the environment is immense, and this is no different for mortals or cultivators. For example, if you are in the mortal world, no matter how much you cultivate or what kind of status you have, you will be a little afraid of the rules of the mortal world. Even if the gods and Buddhas of the upper realm are born, this is true.

For example, in the world of Journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva once descended into the mortal world and met the emperor of the Tang Empire, and he also had to call His Majesty Xià and maintain a respectful attitude. Of course, like Guanyin Bodhisattva, the emperor also needs to pay homage to it.

However, this is enough to show that when you are in the mortal world, the mortal world has its own rules. There was a rumor among the cultivators that a god from the upper realm had disrespected the emperor of the mortal world after the lower realm, and had an entanglement with him, which made the emperor furious and directly issued a holy decree to arrest the god. At that time, although no one dared to do anything to a god, but once under the protection of luck, the power of this holy decree directly covered the entire territory of the Central Plains, and directly suppressed this god, so that he had to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to retreat to deal with it, until the emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and the god re-entered the world and started to do what he wanted to do......

To be honest, the authenticity of this rumor is no longer verifiable, and it is false if it is not even, but Lin Mo kept it in mind, because in his opinion, it is impossible for the air to come to the wind, since there are such conclusive examples, then even if the facts are not so powerful, I am afraid that they are a little similar.

So all in all, in the mortal world, a practitioner may be able to achieve a certain degree of detachment, but it is never possible to achieve absolute independence!

Then, since the real gods and Buddhas are like this, it is even more impossible for Fahai, a worldly cultivator, to avoid it! Otherwise, wouldn't Fahai be even more powerful than Avalokiteshvara? Then he himself has become a Buddha and an ancestor, what kind of cultivation is there!

After the prince arrived, he didn't need to say much, just a few words to make him have some scruples. As for the rest, leave it to us. ”

Lin Mo's expectations for Liang Lian are not high, and it is unrealistic to let the son of a prince have too much impact on Fahai, but as long as he has a little scruples, it is inevitable that after that step, a little scruple may become a big bargain!

When Liang Lian heard that this was the case, he immediately patted his chest without hesitation and said, "Immortal Chief, please rest assured, leave this matter to me, isn't it just a monk, I can subdue it myself!" To tell you the truth, I'm familiar with this kind of thing! ”

But isn't it, don't look at Liang Lian's current appearance is very pleasing to the eye, this is because Lin Mo has a life-saving grace for him, and they have the ability to save him at any time! In essence, it is still a second generation! To ask such a guy to do something intimidating and coercive is simply to complete his duty, and it couldn't be easier!

"In that case, son, I'll accompany you for a while." Chen Lun also interjected with a smile: "I have long heard all kinds of rumors about the abbot of Jinshan Temple, and I wanted to go and see it in a while, but since the immortal chief has a word, then the official will also go and see it together!" ”

Lin Mo naturally couldn't stop it, and said with a smile at the moment: "Then there are two Lao!" (To be continued......)
