In the quiet room of Courtyard No. 36, Mo Yan sat cross-legged and practiced the ornaments in his hands.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the moon was shining outside the window, and a light breeze was passing by from time to time.

Mo Yan suddenly opened his eyes and hung the ornament back on his chest, but he frowned slightly.

Yun Luo, who had long been accustomed to protecting the Dharma for her father, saw this and said curiously: "Dad, it's not dawn yet......

The ornament in Mo Yan's usual sacrificial hand will basically end when it is almost dawn, and at this time, there are still two or three hours before dawn, and Yun Luo naturally feels a little strange. As her father's close-fitting little padded jacket, she already knew that there was a novel world hidden in her father's accessories. So these days, she is looking forward to it, hoping that her father can complete the sacrifice as soon as possible, and then she can enter that magical world and go to play with the green-skinned frog called Qingtong......

Mo Yan put away the ornaments, shook his head slightly, and said, "I am a little restless today, and I always feel that something is going to happen." ”

Yun Luo couldn't help but be a little worried, and said, "Dad, could it be that something happened to Aunt Mochou's side again?" ”

Every time Mo Yan comes back from a trip, he will tell Yun Luo about his experience, which can be regarded as a kind of teaching by word and deed, and hopes that Yun Luo can get some inspiration and experience from his own experience.

Aunt Mochou's kidnapping, as well as the killing on the desert island, these things Yun Luo had already known, and seeing that her father was uneasy at this time, she immediately thought of Aunt Mochou who had never met before, could something happen again?

In her little head, in addition to herself, the people that Daddy cares about the most are Aunt Maisui, Aunt Xiaoyin, and Aunt Mochou who is far away in Kyoto.

"Don't say stupid things, your Aunt Mochou is not the reincarnation of the broom star, where did you come from so many calamities?"

Mo Yan smiled and touched Yun Luo's little head......

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, and vaguely felt that something was going to happen, but this matter did not involve his own safety, nor did it have anything to do with the people close to him. Therefore, he was able to laugh and joke with Yunluo.

As a Divine Soul Cultivator, what he believed most was not his own cultivation, but a more subtle and indescribable induction from the depths of the Divine Soul.

"Daddy. Since it's not a big deal, do you still practice it? Yun Luo asked with a blank eye.

Mo Yan shook his head and said, "I haven't really slept well for a few days, since I've stopped, just rest." ”

A slight pause. He saw Yun Luo's face disappointed. smiled again: "Don't be too anxious...... In another month, Daddy will let you in and have enough. ”

Yun Luo blinked, and said with a smile: "People aren't playing, I'm going in to practice!" ”

Mo Yan smiled: "Yes." Yes, it's a practice, and my daughter is the most diligent......"

Yun Luo asked again, "Daddy, is that world really more suitable for spiritual cultivation?" ”

Mo Yan said: "It should be like this, but these things need to be experienced by yourself." Daddy is not a natural spirit body, and the ornament has not been sacrificed and refined, and some things are not too sure. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, pushed open the window of the quiet room, and looked in the direction of Hulu Mountain.

At this glance, his brow suddenly furrowed.

Yun Luo came to the window and said, "Daddy, your eyebrows are wrinkled again......

Mo Yan said: "Have you noticed?" Is the yin in Hulu Mountain thicker tonight? "At this time, the yin qi in the gourd mountain is pervasive, and its concentration is much higher than that of the previous days, and at this time, you can feel the dense and cold yin qi without even opening your heart and eyes.

Yunluo looked at Hulu Mountain. His head was tilted, but he said disappreciably: "It's nothing, Dad, every once in a while." Hulu Mountain is like this......"

Mo Yan said: "How long is this 'every once in a while' you are talking about?" ”

Yun Luo blinked and calculated in her heart. "Almost thirty years...... Daddy, didn't that old man Du say that the gloomy tide under the Yunluo Dao Palace is once every thirty years, and these days are just in time. ”

Mo Yan pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Maybe this is the strength of the pole and the decline...... Before the tide weakens, the intensity of yin qi rises sharply, which is also considered a normal phenomenon. This is the same as the darkness before dawn, and the time before dawn is often the darkest. ”

Yun Luo didn't bother to care about the darkness before dawn, dragged Mo Yan's sleeve and shook it, and said, "Dad, what's so nice about facing this mountain every day?" Tell me a story. ”

was interrupted by her, Mo Yan withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "The story in my stomach has long been hollowed out by you, where is there anything to tell?" ”

Yun Luo blinked and said, "Why not?" Isn't there still that cat demon...... Daddy, do you think it will ever appear again? ”

Mo Yan smiled: "I don't know about this...... Would you really like it to happen? Haha, if it does come to our house, the first thing it will do is eat all the fish you raised. ”

Yun Luo was curious, "Why did it eat all my fish?" ”

Mo Yan said with a smile: "Because cats like to eat fish the most, as soon as they smell fishy, they can't walk." It's like when you see a sweet tooth......"

………………………………

Nothing was said all night.

Near noon the next day, Mo Yan got up and pushed open the window and looked in the direction of Hulu Mountain, only to find that Hulu Mountain had returned to normal at this time.

Under the illumination of the sun, Hulu Mountain at this time is full of verdant and vivid mountains, like a freshly completed watercolor painting.

There is no yin in the mountains, and the birds in the forest and the insects in the grass seem to be more active, and even in the courtyard of No. 36, you can clearly hear the cheerful chirping of these creatures......

Since he began to practice the ornaments, Mo Yan hadn't slept for a long time, and when he saw the vivid picture in front of him, he couldn't help but stretch, and then took a few breaths of fresh air.

"Daddy, brush your teeth!"

Outside the door, Yun Luo, who didn't need to sleep, had already sensed that Mo Yan had gotten up, so she diligently squeezed the toothpaste for her father and prepared the mouthwash.

During this time, she was studying "Selected Poems of Twenty-four Filial Piety in Quanxiang", and decided to follow the example of the ancients and make herself the most intimate little padded jacket for her father.

Mo Yan walked out of the bedroom, saw Yun Luo holding a mouthwash cup and a toothbrush, standing in front of the door obediently, and immediately 'relieved', and said with a smile: "My daughter is really well-behaved, Dad really didn't hurt you in vain......"

After washing, he opened the refrigerator and checked the food reserves, and found that there were not many stocks. Then he said: "Yunluo, there is not much food in the refrigerator, what do you want to eat, I'll go to the supermarket to buy it later." ”

Yun Luo tilted her head and made a list of all the things she wanted to eat in her heart. I was about to answer. The doorbell rang suddenly.

"There's a guest coming, I'll open the door!" Yunluo was about to run out.

Mo Yan grabbed her and said with a smile: "Stinky girl, you are similar to a holographic projection." Running to open the door without scaring people to death? Okay, stay honest, dad will open the door by himself......"

In fact, the current Yunluo has been able to condense into a complete entity.

Such entities appear to be flesh and blood on the surface, and even have temperature and breath. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, there is absolutely no flaw.

However, Mo Yan didn't plan to let her appear in front of people.

One is that he hasn't figured out how to explain the origin of this little girl.

The second is that it is somewhat irresponsible to let Yun Luo appear in front of people before she was promoted to the Yin God. The so-called spiritual objects are obscure, in essence, Yunluo has not completely departed from the category of heaven and earth spiritual objects, and if she appears rashly at this time, there is a high chance that she will attract the catastrophe in the underworld.

So after Mo Yan pondered it several times, he finally decided. Yun Luo didn't promote the Yin God for a day, and she wouldn't be allowed to appear in front of people for a day.

Originally, he also felt that his decision was somewhat cruel, and it was not only inhumane to lock up an innocent and lively child in this small courtyard. And it is not conducive to Yunluo's physical and mental growth. But with the discovery of the other world in the ornament, Yunluo finally has a space to play freely, and Mo Yan has no such concerns.

After Yun Luo was pulled by Mo Yan, she was not idle. Concealed his figure, jumping up and down behind Mo Yan. Came to the front yard.

After Mo Yan opened the door, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said, "It's really a rare guest...... Luko, what wind is blowing you here? ”

The person standing outside the door was Lu Liang, behind him there was a man and a woman, the girl was Chu Yu, and the man was a middle-aged man with a strong body.

Lu Liang's expression was a little solemn at this time, and Chu Yu was also eyebrows tightened, as if he had encountered some trouble.

Only the middle-aged man's expression was slightly normal, he smiled slightly, and looked at Mo Yan.

"If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, we are here to ask for help......"

Lu Liang smiled bitterly, and then let the middle-aged man behind him say, "Let me introduce you, this is my top boss, Director Fang Zhengfang." ”

"It turned out to be Director Fang...... Mo Yan stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "I've really admired the name for a long time." ”

Fang Zheng shook hands with Mo Yan and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo is a real master and a strange person, and the sentence of long-admiring the name should be replaced by me." ”

After a few words of greeting, Mo Yan let the three of them into the living room and said, "Wait a few moments, I'll make tea for you." ”

Lu Liang said: "Mo Yan, don't be busy, we are here this time ......"

Mo Yan interrupted him and said with a smile: "Even if it's a big thing, you don't care about the time to make a cup of tea, right?" It's the first time I've come to the door, so I can't be rude. ”

Lu Liang was about to speak, but was stopped by Fang Zheng and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, then there is labor...... To tell you the truth, from the time I got up until now, I haven't gotten a drop of water, and my throat is dry. ”

"I don't have any good tea here, but the water pipe is full ......," Mo Yan smiled and walked into the kitchen.

He took the teacup out of the cupboard, rinsed it slightly, and put the tea leaves......

At this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the number, Mo Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, and muttered, "Isn't this girl in the field with Mai Sui?" ”

The person who called was none other than Su Jin, who hadn't seen her for a while.

"Miss Su, why did you remember to call me?" Mo Yan clipped his phone to his ear and asked while making tea.

Su Jin's voice was a little anxious, and she said, "Mo Yan, I want to see you." ”

Mo Yan smiled and joked, "You want to see me?" No problem...... However, you have to get the consent of my family leader first. ”

Su Jin's voice was very earnest, and said, "Mo Yan, I really have something to ask you for help, don't be joking, okay?" ”

Mo Yan frowned and said, "Aren't you out of town now?" ”

Su Jin said: "I'll rush back in the afternoon, and Mai Sui will be with me." ”

Mo Yan said: "What the hell is going on?" In such a hurry? ”

Su Jin said: "I can't say a word or two, let's talk about it when we meet?" ”

Through the kitchen door, Mo Yan glanced at a few guests sitting in the living room and said, "First, I may not have time. Secondly, you and I are not even ordinary friends, so why should I help you? ”

As soon as the words fell, Mai Sui's voice came from the microphone, saying, "Mo Yan." It's ...... me."

Mo Yan smiled: "I knew it was you, I had already heard your voice, sneaky." ”

Mai Sui sneered: "Where is it sneaky? Hey, the long-legged chick is really in trouble, can you just help her once? ”

Mo Yanqi said: "Is there anything in this world that she can't solve?" Just put a sentence out. There will be a lot of flower messengers rushing to help, right? ”

Mai Sui said: "I don't know very well...... But since last night until now. She has been anxious, especially after getting up, she keeps dialing the phone, but none of them are answered. The whole person was about to collapse. I asked her what was going on, and she wouldn't say anything, only that you could help her. ”

Mo Yan smiled and said, "She really looks up to me, so should I show that I am flattered." And then agree to help without saying a word? ”

He teased in his mouth, but there were some vague guesses in his heart.

He knew that Su Jin was an orphan, and the person who could make her worry about it, except for Yan Fang, who had died, was probably the only one left Qi Yuanshan. And Qi Yuanshan has been busy looking for the affairs of Yunluo Dao Palace during this time, and Su Jin called to ask for help at this time, and there must be some kind of connection between them.

Could it be that something happened to Qi Yuanshan in the gourd mountain?

"Today is the first day of the decay of the underground tides, and it is also the best time to enter the periphery of the Dao Palace, could it be that Old Man Qi has already found the entrance. But there was an accident because of this? ”

Mo Yan pondered in his heart, and felt more and more that this possibility was very high.

"Hey, the long-legged girls are about to cry, don't say cool words, okay?"

"Don't feed it all the time, call your husband to listen to it......"

"Dead ghosts. There's someone on the side. ”

"It's just calling in front of others that I feel more accomplished. Well, call my husband to listen. ”

…… A few minutes later, Mo Yan hung up the phone. Even if Mai Sui came forward to say something, he didn't let go and agreed to help Su Jin. Just talk about it later.

Immediately, he put three cups of hot tea on the tray and returned to the living room.

"I'm sorry, I answered the phone and made you wait for a long time......"

Mo Yan put the hot tea on the coffee table and apologized with a smile.

Fang Zheng smiled: "It's okay, you're too polite...... Well, this tea is good, the color and taste are pure, the fragrance is fragrant, and it is really good tea. ”

In addition to the ingredients, the daily necessities of No. 36 Courtyard are basically purchased by Su Yu on her behalf, and this tea is brought by her from Sujiang Province.

This tea is not only mellow in taste, but also valuable in price, which just reflects the identity of this villa. In Su Yu's words, he lives in a mansion of nearly 10 million, but he treats guests with dozens of yuan a pound of tea, and he can't be laughed off by others?

Mo Yan didn't understand the tea ceremony, so he didn't take Fang Zheng's admiration to heart, glanced at Chu Yu, who had been fidgeting and having an anxious face, and said, "Fang Ju, if there is anything, please tell me directly." ”

Fang Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go straight to the point." ”

After a slight pause, he looked at Mo Yan and said, "Mr. Mo, may I ask how much do you know about the gourd mountain behind this courtyard?" ”

Hearing this, Mo Yan was stunned at first, and then involuntarily frowned.

How is it Hulu Mountain again?

Fang Zheng frowned when he saw Mo Yan, and thought that he was deliberately selling Guanzi, and explained: "Mr. Mo, there is a reason why I asked this......

Before he finished speaking, Mo Yan interrupted him and said, "You want to ask me if I know Yunluo Mountain and the Dao Palace in the mountain, right?" ”

Fang Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out, "So you know about this?" ”

Mo Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't seem to have heard anything else in my ears for a while, and it seems that everyone is talking about that Dao Palace......"

Although his words are slightly exaggerated, they are a big truth.

From the nightmare incident in the Mochou Lake community to Su Jin's phone call just now, during this period of time, almost most of the things he experienced were related to Yunluo Dao Palace and Danshu.

Seeing Mo Yan's indifference, Fang Zheng and Lu Liang glanced at each other and said, "Mr. Mo, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, don't you have any thoughts about this Dao Palace?" ”

Mo Yan said bluntly: "Of course I am interested, I am a monk, and I am interested in everything that is beneficial to the path." ”

He said this as a matter of course, and he was full of confidence and had no hidden mentality.

During this time, he thought very clearly that in this world, an existence like himself is not unique. At least in a certain group, you don't need to hide too much. And in the world of cultivators, it is more direct and straightforward than the world of ordinary people, and it has always been respected by the strong, and if they have ten strengths, they should not show nine points, otherwise it will not be enough to deter the covetous eyes of others.

He has always felt that the deliberate low-key, or the behavior of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is actually very unwise. The more low-key you pretend, the easier it is to attract trouble and covetousness, otherwise there would be no such thing as 'deceitful and afraid of evil' in this world. Especially when one's own strength is obviously higher than the world, deliberately low-key is equivalent to asking for trouble.

Not to mention, take these people in front of him as an example, if Mo Yan did not show absolute strength, even if he was a child of the Mo family, it would be impossible for him to have the current transcendent status. Especially after the killing on the desert island, his extreme cruelty and ruthlessness are an invisible deterrent!

Regarding the matter of Yunluo Dao Palace and Danshu, if these people in front of him knew nothing, Mo Yan would naturally not be stupid enough to tell them. But obviously, Fang Zheng and the others are not ignorant of this, so it is very necessary for Mo Yan to make it clear, so as not to cause some unnecessary disputes when he gets it.

His attitude at this time was very clear, about the Yunluo Dao Palace and the Dan Book, he not only knew, but also determined to win!

"I understand what you mean, Mr. Mo......" Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, "However, I'm afraid you're a little late for this interest." ”

Mo Yanqi said: "Director Fang, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that someone has already gotten the Dan book? ”

Fang Zhengdao: "I don't know if anyone has got the Dan Book, but there is one thing that I know very well......"

After a slight pause, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Mr. Mo, according to the information I have got, there were people trying to enter the Yunluo Dao Palace last night, and there were more than one side. But unfortunately, not only did they not succeed, but they all lost their traces. To tell you the truth, that includes our people......"

Chu Yu, who was sitting on the side, suddenly had red eyes, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Mo, my uncle is also among them!" ”
