Chapter 113: Demon Beast Secret Envoy
It has been two months since the end of the ink exam, and it has been half a year since he returned from the Hundred Soldiers City, and Mo Lin finally received a letter from Ling Hu Zi. 3
The letter was written very simply, just to report safety, and by the way said some things in the city of a hundred soldiers. There was no mention of the death of Nan Hengfei's people, nor did it mention the reactions of all parties after the Dragon Slayer Dagger was lost.
Several people died in the flames of the battle, and hundreds of people died in the city of hundred soldiers that night, including innocent people and soldiers of the soldiers, and their corpses were mixed among the dead, which would not cause any special storms.
Only the disappearance of the dragon slayer dagger made Mo Lin feel a little strange. Why did Lu Ping give the dragon slaying dagger to Zhu Pingman? He couldn't figure out the relationship in any way, and when he asked Zhu Pingman several times, the answers he got were always vague, as if he wanted to hide something.
After trying several times but not getting a definite answer, Mo Lin put the question down for the time being. Just like Zhu Pingman said: There are some things that Mo Lin doesn't need to worry about, he just needs to cultivate well.
Mo Lin thought for a long time before replying to Ling Huzi, telling her about becoming an engineer ink maker.
“…… Teacher Mo Zhiwei is worthy of being a genius, and his heavenly creations have answered a lot of confusion for me. Now he is my mentor and I have benefited a lot from learning about engineering with him every day. By the way, I've used all the secrets you told me. The forged sword is amazing, I promise you've never seen a sword like this, and if I have the chance, I'll take it to show you......"
Finally, he wrote the words "Seeing words are like faces", signed by the dragon flying and phoenix dance, and Mo Lin felt a faint sadness in his heart. He suddenly remembered the experience of the two of them living and dying together that night in the City of Hundred Soldiers, everything seemed to have happened yesterday.
Mo Lin suddenly missed Ah Zi a little, missed her slightly shiny lips, missed her fluttering white clothes, and missed the faint smell of fragrance on her body. But Luo Qianqian's shadow soon appeared in front of him, and he had to shake his head hard, trying to shake off Ah Zi's figure.
The flowers outside the window are luxuriant, the peach blossoms are still the same, and the human face is unknown. Mo Lin smiled bitterly and read the letter again, but found that it was all talking about engineering, weapons, and cultivation, without mentioning his own life.
He thought about it for a moment, and finally picked up his pen and added another sentence.
"Everything is fine with me and Qianqian, don't read it."
The letter was sealed, and it seemed to seal a memory and a handsome girl dressed as a man in white. Mo Lin didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to sigh in this gentle season at the turn of spring and summer.
"Mo Lin, it's time to start!" Mo Zhiwei's figure appeared in front of the window, he was shy with his trademark big belly and a large pocket on his shoulder.
Mo Lin stuffed the letter into his arms, went out to take the big pocket, and asked Mo Zhiwei: "Teacher, what are we going to do today?" ”
"Just follow me." Mo Zhiwei took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and when he opened it, there were two butter cakes inside. The master and apprentice walked out of the village while eating.
Passing by the carriage and horse post station at the entrance of the village, Mo Lin handed the letter to the ink man in charge of communication, and when he saw the letter being put away by him, he felt that he had broken off a long heart.
"What is the kid thinking, is it writing a letter to a distant lover?" Mo Zhiwei asked with a hippie smile, he was quite a bit disrespectful to the old man, and he was also a teacher and friend with Mo Lin, without any shelf.
"How can I have a lover, I'm not as suave as the teacher." Mo Lin hurriedly explained. Mo Zhiwei is a big horn, in case he knows something, I'm afraid that it won't take two days for the Ink Village to know everything.
"Then what the hell are you doing?" Mo Zhiwei ate all the butter cakes, took a sip of the oil on his fingers, and rubbed it on his clothes a few times, but his sloppy appearance and the words "suave" couldn't be beaten at all.
"How can I be sneaky." Mo Lin said in annoyance.
"Hmph, there must be something unsightly, just wait for me to ask the little girl of the Luo family tomorrow." Mo Zhiwei said thoughtfully.
"Don't. I've heard that it's the season for matsutake mushrooms to grow recently, so if you want to eat them, I'll pick them tomorrow. Mo Lin begged.
"That's pretty much it. Matsutake mushrooms, I haven't eaten them for a long time, and I really miss the delicious taste. Mo Zhiwei was satisfied, and walked in front with a swagger, Mo Lin dragged his heavy pocket, sighed and followed behind, like a poor little follower.
The next day was a rare day of rest, and Mo Lin woke up from a night of meditation and cultivation, and the sun was already very high.
"I'm going to go to Matsutake today, alas, how can Teacher Mo Zhiwei look like Xiaobai." Mo Lin washed up, took out a small shovel from the toolbox and was about to go out.
"Boss, where are you going?" Recently, the little white who has been approaching in a circular direction has opened his eyes in a daze, since it has entered the spring, it has slept day and night, claiming to be in spring, and it is rare to have a sober time.
"I'm going to pick some matsutake mushrooms in the mountains, do you want to go?" Mo Lin asked.
"I don't eat mushrooms, you can catch a pheasant for me by the way, you have to get fatter." Xiaobai said and fell asleep again.
"You're still picky!" Mo Lin was depressed, he felt that he had now become a wronged little daughter-in-law, Zhu Pingman, Xiaobai and Mo Zhiwei's skills were really powerful, but their tempers were very strange, and they choked him enough.
"Matsutake mushroom...... A fatter pheasant, and then dig up some herbs and ores by the way, the day is wasted. Mo Lin sighed and went out.
After a long time, Xiaobai, who was asleep, suddenly woke up, and the black light in his eyes flashed, revealing a hideous expression.
"Who is so bold to approach the Ink Village without concealing his demonic spirit!"
△△△
Walking in the sunny mountains, Mo Lin felt comfortable. It's been a long time since he's been so relaxed, and in the half year since he came back from Hundred Soldiers City, he has been cultivating sleepless almost every night, and he hasn't tasted what sleep is like for a long time.
Fortunately, the physical and mental recovery of Jingjing far exceeds that of sleep, except for a little subconscious need for sleep, Mo Lin rarely feels tired.
And after devouring the dragon soul and opening the secret chakra, Mo Lin worked even harder. In addition to consolidating the spiritual energy of Mooladhara Secret Chakra and learning some combat skills from Zhu Pingman, he also had to learn from Xiaobai how to refine the dragon soul power on the golden needle. And after becoming an engineer ink maker, Mo Zhiwei took up his daytime and worked on some strange tools and magic weapons all day long.
Mo Lin's time was divided into three parts, endless cultivation, even if he was interested, confident, and energetic, but the life full of cultivation was really a bit boring.
Therefore, he cherished this precious rest time, but he was not in a hurry to complete the task, stopping and enjoying the scenery in the mountains, listening to the rustle of leaves in the wind, looking at the wildflowers blooming on the side of the path, and drinking a few sips of cool mountain spring water.
Matsutake mushrooms grow in the mountains and forests, and the closest mountain in the Sunset Mountains to the village of Moji is the most likely to grow matsutake mushrooms, so named because every time the sun sets, they are always blocked by the peaks, revealing only the shape of a hook.
Rigou Mountain is towering like a cloud, it is 3,500 meters high, looking from the bottom of the mountain, the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, like a fairyland. If it was placed in the past, it would take Mo Lin a whole day just to climb the mountain, but now he has spiritual energy, his body is as light as a swallow, he can jump up a dangerous peak in three or two steps, and go up a steep slope in another move, which can be regarded as extremely easy.
has such a light body, thanks to Zhu Pingman's training in the past few months.
Mo Lin had already awakened the spiritual energy of the two chakras, but he was weak in application, otherwise he would not have been hit in the chest by Yang Li's knife in the exam and could not dodge.
Zhu Pingman was furious afterwards and taught Mo Lin a lesson, and then made up his mind to train Mo Lin well. In addition to asking him to continue to practice the mongoose pounce on this set of life-saving tricks every day, he also taught him two sets of common and very different tricks.
The first is to use the spiritual energy of Mooladhara to illuminate the waist, legs, and abdomen with the seventy-four bright points, and to cooperate with the light points of the wind. As the name suggests, after practice, you can use the clouds of the void as a ladder and jump like a cloud. Mo Lin had only been training for two months, and he felt that his body was twice as light, and he was not much better than a leopard when he ran on land. And when climbing a mountain, a person can fly in the air with a slight touch of his toes, which is comparable to a bird.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized the feeling he felt when Biluo and Xin Jiangzi fought that day, and although he was still far from Biluo's wind-scarred moon shadow's psychedelic body method, it was getting closer and closer, and it became within reach.
In addition to Tiyun Zong, another trick is to use the spiritual energy of the secret chakra to light up the bright spots around the abdomen, stimulate the clumsy fire in the living law palace, and attack the enemy with the clumsy fire. This kind of clumsy fire can be attached to the Red Soul Sword, and its power is amazing. And the shape of the clumsy fire is very similar to the military snake, so Zhu Pingman named it "snake mang".
Mo Lin learned new tricks and increased his strength greatly, but unfortunately he had no opponent, so he could only occasionally break up with Zhu Pingman, and his heart was itching. Entering the mountain today, there is also a bit of a meaning of finding a fierce beast to try the sword.
The mountain is empty, Mo Lin is also happy to let go of his body, seventy-four bright points are shining in the body, the bright points of the wind are also blooming with green mangs, and the body of Tiyun is all displayed, Mo Lin is like a mountain eagle, circling all the way up on the cliff, and soon came to the top of the mountain between a forest sea. 3
It is a pine forest, and the crimson pine trees stand tall and exude a mighty and unyielding momentum. Mo Lin walked into the forest, searching everywhere, hoping to find traces of matsutake mushrooms.
Matsutake mushrooms grow in three conditions: "high mountain tops, beautiful pines, and sandy loam soil", and they are in symbiosis with the fibrous roots of pine trees, and can generally be found on gentle slopes with dense pine forests.
Although it was only the turn of spring and summer, it was not the best time to pick matsutake mushrooms, but Mo Lin was lucky, and soon found matsutake mushrooms growing around the roots under a few pine trees. He carefully dug down all the matsutake mushrooms with a knife and shovel, and soon filled a small bag, feeling that it was almost enough for Zhu Pingman and Mo Zhiwei, so he stopped digging.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking down at the Moshi Village at the foot of the mountain, I feel relaxed and happy. Mo Lin took a deep breath of the air on the top of the mountain with the fragrance of pine trees, and was about to go down the mountain, but an alarm suddenly arose in his heart.
"It's demonic!" It was only in an instant that Mo Lin identified the source of the danger. It was a powerful demonic aura, rapidly approaching from the east, and the target seemed to be the Ink Village.
"How can there be such a bold demon beast?" Mo Lin was stunned, so undisguised demonic aura, since Mo Lin could detect it, how could the ink masters in the village not find out.
And there is obviously only one source of demonic energy, even the snake Jiuyou is not strong enough to challenge the Mo family single-handedly.
"What kind of guy is ......" Mo Lin was amazed in his heart, this attacking demon beast was not only bold, but also incredibly fast, crossing the distance of dozens of miles in an instant, the demon qi became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he didn't take the Mo family in his eyes at all.
"No, I'm going back to the village to be on guard." Mo Lin's heart sank, and he was about to go down the mountain and return to the village.
Although there are many masters in the village, Mo Lin still can't help but worry, he wants to go back and dedicate his strength.
Thinking of it, he acted immediately, Mo Lin tied the pocket of matsutake mushroom around his waist, and he didn't care about hunting pheasants for Xiaobai, so he used the body of Tiyun Zong, and rushed all the way down the mountain from the top of the mountain. No matter how steep the mountain road was, he always jumped down, fluttering like a feather between the moats.
A moment later, Mo Lin had already descended the mountain, and the terrifying demonic aura had already appeared in the northeast of the village. Strangely enough, though, it stopped moving, not knowing what it was thinking.
Mo Lin looked at the village from afar, and saw that wolf smoke had been lit on the tower of the ink man, and the smoke was an alarm, reminding all the villagers that there was an enemy attacking.
Mo Lin can also see that a lot of huge mechanical weapons have been launched, several towers have risen from the village, and there are huge bed crossbows of the ink ones on the towers, which need to be launched by three ink masters, even if it is a demon beast powerhouse like Snake Jiuyou, it is difficult to defeat the full force of the crossbow arrows of more than two meters.
Seeing that the village had entered a state of combat readiness, Mo Lin was even more anxious, and was about to rush back, when a gust of wind swept by him, making him immediately alert.
"Who?" Mo Lin's hand rested on the red soul on his waist, and he instantly entered the state of incarnation, and his five senses were highly acute, examining the surrounding situation.
"Mo Lin, compared to when you were in the swamp, your progress is simply amazing."
The voice was behind him, which made Mo Lin's hairs explode, and he turned around suddenly, and saw a familiar "person".
"Snake Sanqing, why are you?" Mo Lin said in surprise.
The person behind him was Snake Sanqing, whose iconic rotten face seemed to have improved a little, but the empty right eye socket still made people's hearts numb.
"I'm sending you a message on the orders of the Demon King." Snake Sanqing spread out his hands to show that it had no malicious intent.
Message...... I don't have anything to do with you anymore, so why are you pestering me? Mo Lin thought of the bad things that Ah Huan of the Snake Nine Ghost Sect had done, and there was a fire in his heart.
"The Demon King asked me to bring you a message to tell you that since you already know the existence of the power of the dragon soul, you should face your fate. It gives you a gift, congratulations on becoming a member of the monster, and as for whether to accept it, it's your business. Snake Sanqing said as he took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms, slowly placed it on the ground, and then withdrew a few steps.
Mo Lin thought quickly in his mind, and from the analysis of Snake Sanqing's words, Snake Jiuyou only knew a little about his situation. It probably realized that it had awakened the dragon soul from some of the changes, but it didn't know that the dragon soul had actually been devoured.
"Maybe it's an opportunity to take advantage of." Mo Lin's heart moved, but it didn't show it on his face. He walked over to the parchment scroll and carefully picked it up.
This scroll should be many years old, and it is already covered with traces of time from the outside.
"What is this?" Mo Lin was afraid that as soon as he opened it, he would squirt out a puff of poisonous powder.
"I don't know either, my task is just to give it to you. Now that my mission is complete, there will be a date later. Snake Sanqing bowed to Mo Lin, turned around and left.
"Wait." Mo Lin remembered something and hurriedly stopped it.
"What's the matter?" Snake Sanqing turned around and said.
"What's going on with that demonic aura, you want to attack the Mo family?" Mo Lin sensed that the powerful demonic aura was still circling in the northeast of the Ink Village, neither advancing nor retreating.
"That's just a trick. Now that all the ink masters are focused on the Rhino King, they won't notice that I'm here to meet you. "Snake three clearing.
"I see." Only then did Mo Lin know that the person who came was the Rhino King. No wonder it made no secret of its demonic spirit, just to make a noise and make him nervous.
"This time it's just a bluff, and the next time it won't be." Mo Lin was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Snake Sanqing dropped such a clueless sentence, twisted his body, and disappeared.
A moment after Snake Sanqing left, the demonic aura of the Rhino King slowly disappeared, and it was quickly hidden, and it could no longer be sensed.
Mo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the scroll in his hand, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, untied the string that tied the scroll, and slowly unfolded the scroll.
It is an ancient parchment scroll with a pale yellow parchment outlined in a color similar to blood.
At the top of the picture is a dragon with fangs and claws spewing flames, and its red body unmistakably identifies its identity - the Red Dragon, the king of all demons who once ruled the continent.
It's a pity that this giant dragon that looks down on the world was first killed by the human hero Fragmented with dragon slaying techniques, and the soul that had endured for hundreds of years chose the wrong object again, and was swallowed by the host Mo Lin, and has been completely erased from the world.
Underneath the red dragon is a mist-shrouded mountain, towering lonely among the peaks.
There was a red horizontal line below the peaks, and Mo Lin guessed that it represented the ground.
Somewhere under the peaks, a red circle is encircled, and a red line extends down from the circle, bringing out a palace under the horizontal line.
Although the painter's brush is very simple, only a few sketches, it has already revealed the luxury of the palace. The floor of the palace is covered with objects resembling gold and silver jewelry, and the painter seems to be afraid that people will not understand them, so he has added some effect lines to represent the sparkles.
On the right edge of the parchment scroll is a simple map that depicts a route. Mo Lin guessed that the red circle was where the entrance to the underground palace was, and this map was the map of the path into the palace.
"Why did Snake Nine Shadows give me this thing?" Mo Lin was puzzled.
He thought about it and decided to ask Zhu Pingman and Xiaobai, they must know what was going on.
By the time we returned to the village, the alarm had been lifted. Several towers slowly lowered the elevation and turned back into ordinary dwellings, with movable roofs closed, making it impossible to tell from the outside that they were huge weapons of destruction.
There are still ink people patrolling at the entrance of the village, and when they saw Mo Lin, some people asked him with concern if he had encountered a demon beast.
Mo Lin entered the village, and many villagers were talking about what had just happened on the streets, and there were also people in a hurry who searched the village to see if there was anything suspicious. The appearance of the Rhino King this time can be regarded as a false alarm experienced by the long-peaceful Moshi Village.
When he came to Mo Zhiwei's research room, he was not there, and he probably went to the village to check the defensive weapons, Mo Lin left half a bag of matsutake mushrooms and hurried home.
When he returned home, Xiaobai was gone. Mo Lin couldn't help but be taken aback, Fang Cai's demonic aura was so strong, it was impossible for Xiaobai not to notice it. The village is so nervous, if it runs around, it may cause a big mess.
Looking at the door with fear, I didn't hear that anyone had found the legendary demon weasel that had been a disaster for the village for a long time, but this didn't make Mo Lin completely relieved.
"Boss, are you worried about me?"
Mo Lin was fidgeting, a white shadow flashed at the window, and Xiaobai jumped into the room with a smile.
"Where did you go?" Mo Lin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I just went to see an old friend." Little White Road.
"Have you seen the Rhino King?"
Xiaobai nodded: "I heard that Snake Jiuyou sent you a gift, it's the sheepskin scroll." ”
"The Rhino King told you?" Mo Lin took out the sheepskin scroll and shook it.
The stupid cow seemed to have become a bit more shrewd and wouldn't say anything. But I guessed that it was this thing, the thief heart of the snake nine shadows is not dead. ”
"What the hell is this? I don't understand, I'm about to ask you. Mo Lin opened the sheepskin scroll and spread it on the table.
"This is the map of the Red Dragon Palace." Xiao Bai said, "The dragon on the picture is the red dragon, and the highest mountain is called the Sky Cliff. ”
"This is Skycliff?" Mo Lin was shocked, the Sky Cliff is where the Red Dragon's lair is located, the legend is the center of the continent, 10,000 meters high, the Red Dragon lives on the top of the Sky Cliff.
According to legend, the red dragon took off from the cliff every morning and decided the direction of foraging by throwing an octahedral head made of a boulder, eating 200 people at each meal.
In order to resist the tyranny of the Red Dragon, hundreds of the strongest heroes of the human race rushed to the cliff to fight with the Red Dragon, and finally succeeded in slaying the dragon, and the heroes were killed and wounded, leaving only the seven heroes who later established the Seven Great Families.
However, during the battle of the dragon slayer, the Sky Cliff collapsed due to the red dragon's dying counterattack, and the originally towering 10,000-meter peak completely collapsed, turning into the ruins of countless boulders.
It is also rumored that the cliff hides the wealth collected by the red dragon, but because there is no way to clean up the wreckage of the cliff, the boulders have been left in place, let the rain and wind blow.
"Could it be that this picture says that there is a palace built by a dragon under the cliff?" Mo Lin carefully pondered Xiaobai's words and made a bold guess.
"That's right, it's a palace built by the Red Dragon with the looted wealth, and it's full of gold and silver treasures. He captured 100,000 people to build, and after it was completed, he killed all the human beings, and only the demon beasts knew about the existence of the palace. "Xiaobaidao.
"100,000 ......" Mo Lin trembled in shock, of course he knew about the brutality of the red dragon, but he didn't expect it to be so brutal. If he was born in that era, he would definitely embark on the road of dragon slaying without hesitation.
"After the Red Dragon was killed, we high-level demon beasts were very panicked, and they all fled from the Sky Cliff and hid in the swamp. Snake Jiuyou was obsessed with the treasures in the palace, so he found someone to draw this map according to his memory, hoping to recapture the underground palace one day and revive the demon beast clan. Xiaobai said again.
"I see, then why did it give this thing to me?" Mo Lin asked suspiciously.
"It must have sensed the awakening of the power of the dragon soul, probably knowing that you, as the heir of the power of the dragon soul, are also qualified to have an underground palace. But I always think this guy has other plans, so you need to be careful, boss. Xiaobai shook his head and analyzed.
"Since there is a conspiracy, then I don't want this thing." Mo Lin said that he was about to put away the parchment scroll.
"Boss, don't you want to absorb the power of the dragon soul. This picture is the key. Xiao Bai jumped on the map at once and stopped Mo Lindao.
"Why?" Mo Lin has been struggling with absorbing the power of the dragon soul recently. Knowing that there is a powerful force in his body, Xiaobai also taught him a lot of knowledge about demonic energy, but no matter how hard he tries, the progress is very limited. Now that he heard that the sheepskin scroll was related to the power of the dragon soul, Mo Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
"In the underground palace, in addition to the gold and silver treasures, there are also the remains of the red dragon. You must know that the dragon bone is the supreme cultivation treasure of the demon beast clan, and if you can get it, then absorbing the power of the dragon soul will become a piece of cake. "Xiao Bai has always been interested in cultivation, and he has never seen it cultivate since Mo Lin mixed with it. However, when it comes to the word keel, Xiaobai's eyes are full of greed, which shows how great the attraction of the keel is.
"Dragon Bone ......" Mo Lin's mind was also active, if there really was such a treasure that could quickly increase his strength, then why not take it.
"If you're interested, Boss, I'm going too. When the time comes, I only need a small bone, so that my transverse bone can be successfully refined. Xiaobai said excitedly, even if she saw the fat and oily roast chicken in the past, she had never been so excited.
"Go! Since there is such a good thing, even if there is a conspiracy, you have to go! Mo Lin waved his fist and made up his mind.
