"Send a message to Zhou Bo by carrier pigeon, telling him to keep a close eye on the situation in Ye County and report back immediately if anything happens. Also, you go back to the mountain stronghold in person and transfer five thousand men from the heartland. Remember to keep them small and consolidate them, and don't attract attention, including Qin Su next door."
As Mo Lan spoke, she took out a silver token from her bosom and handed it to her, her expression mocking.
"Keep it safe. It's made of pure silver. Don't lose it."
"Don't worry, Master, the token is with me." Han Shuang twitched her lips. At such a serious moment, her master was still teasing her.
"Go ahead and get busy. Oh, and if your elder brother asks, you can tell him. You don't need to mention Father." If the old village chiefs find out, they might all come and kill you. Should she fight or take care of the old man then?
"Understood."
After seeing off the frost, Mo Lan went to the mountains alone. Since the maze array was activated, it had not served any other purpose except for trapping a few lost woodcutters.
Just as they reached the pine tree, Lei Zi, who had been hiding nearby, jumped out. "Boss, what brings you here?"
"Come and take a look. By the way, I'd like to tell you that the news about the iron mine may have been leaked. It won't be so quiet here anymore. From today onwards, you all need to be on high alert and take turns on duty to prevent someone from sneaking in."
Mo Lan looked at Lei Zi and the others and sighed helplessly. Originally, she hadn't planned to send anyone over, but now she had to make preparations.
"Don't worry, boss, we'll guard it well and make sure not a single fly gets in."
"Well, you'll have to work hard until our people arrive." After giving her instructions, Mo Lan checked the position before getting up and leaving.
"Tomb Spirit, activate the fog tonight, and also summon some ghosts and release them into the forest, just in case."
"Don't worry, boss, it's a piece of cake." In the mountains and wilderness, there's a lack of everything, but there's no shortage of ghosts.
Ever since the summoned ghost was dispersed by the golden light emanating from Qin Su, the tomb spirit has remained silent.
"Boss, if you'd like, I can raise a few ghosts for you to command."
"Huh? How do you raise a ghost?" Raising a ghost? Mo Lan rubbed her arms, finding the idea rather frightening.
"It's simple, just put it into the mandala. Have you forgotten the legend that Mount Sumeru can contain everything in a mustard seed? In the past, the mandala was a sacred object in Buddhism, with the ability to purify all dark forces, and no ghosts or spirits could get close. But now that I'm here, what's a few ghosts or spirits?"
It is a spirit of darkness. No matter how powerful a ghost or spirit is, it can only grovel at its feet. There is no spirit more powerful than it.
Mo Lan could imagine the smug look on the tomb spirit's face, even though she couldn't see it.
"So you're this powerful? If you're a dark species, why weren't you purified by the Mandala back then?" Mo Lan talked to the tomb spirit as she walked through the forest.
"Of course it's because I'm powerful enough. I was born a dark spirit... Everything in the world has its own laws. For example, there are human emperors in the human realm, demon spirits in the demon realm, and gods in the divine realm. I am a dark spirit."
"The Sumeru Mustard Seed grows on Mount Sumeru in Buddhism. According to the inherited memory, it was transformed from the relic of the first Buddha in the world, and it is also a product of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. We are all the first spirits in our respective realms, and no one can do anything to the other. However, these things are too far away for you, and you will never be able to touch them, so it's better not to talk about them."
After the tomb spirit finished speaking, it thought of its current situation and sighed softly. It didn't even have a physical form now. What a tragedy!
