It can be seen that Huang Wenbin's skin is in pain and very sad.
Although Lin Mo couldn't empathize with Huang Wenbin, he could probably see why Huang Wenbin was so painful and sad.
The reason is simple.
If his daughter was not controlled by the evil spirit, then it was her who harmed her father on her own initiative.
Just imagine, which father can bear this? From childhood to adulthood, from the time a daughter rolls over and sits up to the time she learns to speak; from the time she takes her first steps to the time she cries and acts like a spoiled brat, which daughter is not a father's little cotton-padded jacket? He really holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of her melting. He absolutely treats her like a little baby, the apple of his eye, to be cherished and nurtured.
It's all the result of hard work.
It’s not a short period of time. This hard work has taken at least ten or even dozens of years.
Now it's backlashing directly, who can bear it? And if Huang Rourou was controlled by some evil spirit, then Huang Wenbin would also be sad and painful. After all, his daughter was controlled by evil temptation, and as a father, he could do nothing and it was really uncomfortable.
So at this moment, Lin Mo reached out and touched Lao Huang's skin, wiped off his tears and blood, and comforted him: "Lao Huang, look at it more positively. Things have already come to this. What else can you do? Cry. It's not a sin for a man to cry. Cry as much as you want. I'll help you clean up the mess."
Lin Mo said, if Huang Rourou is controlled by an evil spirit, then needless to say, we will definitely help you to grind that evil spirit to ashes.
It is my duty.
"As for your daughter, let's see if she can be saved. Don't worry, I will help her if I can."
Lin Mo said everything he needed to say.
But he knew that this was just talk.
It’s not that he can’t do it, but he can see that Huang Rourou is already deeply involved in it.
This girl is not simple.
It may not be controlled by evil spirits.
I guess Huang Wenbin also saw it. After all, she is his daughter, and he, as a father, knows her best.
Otherwise, according to common sense, Huang Wenbin should be extremely angry, resentful, and hateful at this time.
Because he wanted to avenge his daughter.
But what is the reality?
He cried.
There is everything, except anger, resentment, and hatred.
Even though Huang Wenbin knew that it was his daughter who did all this, his daughter was not controlled by evil spirits, and he never hated or blamed her for it.
I guess in this world, only parents can treat their children like this.
Even if you stab me, I still regard you as a treasure.
But Lin Mo is not Huang Wenbin.
He will not let the culprit of this incident go.
Since Huang Rourou did those things, she must be responsible for them and pay the price.
No one can offset it.
Lin Mo sympathizes with Lao Huang, but if Lao Huang is irrational about this matter, Lin Mo will not be polite.
So he said what needed to be said first, and then let Zuo Bai seal this piece of human skin.
To prevent Huang Wenbin from turning against us.
Although Lin Mo felt that Lao Huang would not do this, he still had to be on guard against others. When doing things, especially in this terrifying and dangerous second-level dream, he needed to be cautious.
"Now it seems that there must be something fishy going on in this Taoist temple. I'm going to go in and take a look."
Lin Mo expressed his opinion.
Lin Yuan nodded. He had the same idea.
Zuo Bai said, you two should still think about it again. After all, you don't know what's going on inside. What if something goes wrong if you break in like this? "At least, you should leave yourself some room for maneuver."
What Zuo Bai said is correct.
Lin Mo also knew this, so he asked Zuo Bai how to leave room for maneuver.
What I mean is, you said that you should figure out a solution, and if you don’t want to, I’ll just go ahead and do it.
Zuo Bai sighed.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "This Zhenyi Sect is a branch of Taoism. In ancient times, Taoism was full of various sects and schools, many of which were strange and bizarre, and the Zhenyi Sect was one of them."
"This school of thought emphasizes that all things have spirits, and those with strong spirits are respected. They can be granted a Taoist orthodoxy, a title, be worshipped by others, and return to the right path."
"But this kind of thinking that only considers strength and weakness without paying attention to good and evil is ultimately wrong, so the Zhenyi Sect gradually declined and even disappeared. I just didn't expect to encounter a Zhenyi Taoist temple in this place. If I'm not mistaken, there should be some kind of spiritual master in it."
Lin Mo felt annoyed when listening to it, as he could not understand much of it, so he asked, "Uncle Master Zuo, can you please stop talking about things that we cannot understand?"
"Just say it in plain language, okay?"
Zuo Bai smiled and said that translated into plain language it means there are monsters inside.
"As the saying goes, birds and beasts become monsters, mountains and rivers become spirits, the Zhenyi Sect is all about these things, and this is all there is, so you have to make sure you have everything in place, don't go in and get killed."
What Zuo Bai said makes a lot of sense.
If the things inside are really terrifying, then going in directly is tantamount to committing suicide.
And the possibility that there is something terrifying inside is almost 100%.
But if it is infiltration, the situation is the same.
All of a sudden, people are in a dilemma.
The elder brother also frowned and was thinking of a solution.
But this method is not something that can be thought of immediately.
Zuo Bai said at this time, I have a way.
Lin Mo and Lin Yuan immediately asked what the solution was.
"A visit."
Zuo Bai said.
He is a Taoist from the Zhengqian Palace Taoist sect, so it is only natural for him to visit the Zhenyi Taoist sect, which is also a Taoist sect.
This is what we call not hitting someone who smiles at you.
We are here to visit, not to cause trouble, to exchange ideas as fellow travelers. Is there any problem? No problem at all.
This is to leave yourself a way out.
In other words, knock on the door, go in, and see the situation. If the other party is easy to bully, just get angry and attack them. If the other party is not easy to deal with, then say a few words and leave.
This plan is safe.
Lin Mo and Lin Yuan both agreed after hearing this.
Zuo Bai was also very happy.
But at this time Lin Mo proposed a possibility.
"What if the other party turns hostile? Or if they don't follow the rules of your sect at all, that would be courting death."
Obviously, what Lin Mo said is a possibility, and it is not small.
Zuo Bai waved his hands and said, don't worry, I have observed that this Taoist temple is very particular, and there are incense and Taoist music. He is still confident that the other party will follow the rules.
"real?"
"Trust my judgment."
"Okay, I believe you."
Lin Mo said that you can believe it, but you still need to be careful.
"We'll go in later. My brother will be outside observing. If anything goes wrong, we'll have someone to take care of us."
"OK!"
It is obvious that Zuo Bai is very confident.
Lin Mo was mainly afraid that the other party would fail, but he decided to give it a try, mainly because he couldn't think of any other way for the time being.
Zuo Bai immediately prepared himself, controlled Lin Mo and walked over directly.
Lin Mo remembered something at this time.
"Wait a minute, Huang Rourou has seen me."
"This is easy to do. Just wait for me."
After Zuo Bai finished speaking, it seemed that he used some secret method. The next moment, Lin Mo's facial features changed.
Became a different person.
That is what Zuo Bai himself looks like.
Not only his appearance, but also his clothes have changed.
Now it's completely secure.
Leave everything to Zuo Bai and let him play freely.
Zuo Bai laughed, walked straight to the door, and said loudly: "Zhengqian Dao is sending Si Shen Yu Zuo Qianqiu to visit fellow disciples of Zhenyi Dao."
The voice is loud and penetrating.
Anyone in here, even those who are sleeping soundly under the covers, will definitely be able to hear it.
Sure enough, footsteps were soon heard from inside.
Very heavy.
Not Huang Rourou.
The door creaked and slowly opened, and a Taoist dressed in gray cloth walked out.
His clothes looked tattered and covered in dirt, and he exuded a very strange smell.
There is a fishy smell of earth.
It felt like I had just crawled out of the earth.
Maybe it really just crawled out of the soil.
In addition, the Taoist's face was ashen, expressionless, his eyebrows were very light, his eyes were droopy, his face was pointed, and he wore a Taoist hat, which looked very strange.
Although Zuo Bai could see that this Taoist was abnormal, he was knowledgeable and had a broad mind.
At this moment, the greeting is performed according to the Zhengqian Dao method.
"I was traveling in the ghost world and accidentally came here. Suddenly I saw the Zhenyi Taoist Temple and came to visit and say hello."
This statement is absolutely flawless.
The Taoist inside nodded and said, "Brother Zhengqian, please come in. Don't think my small temple is too simple."
"How dare I, how dare I!"
Zuo Bai stepped in.
After entering, the first thing you see is the locust tree in the yard.
As soon as he saw it for the first time, Zuo Bai knew who the master of the Zhenyi Taoist Temple was.
It’s not the Taoist who is possessed by the corpse, but this locust tree.
Moreover, it is a thousand-year-old ghost locust tree.
This is the spirit in 'goblins and ghosts'.
The old tree becomes a spirit.
Very powerful and tough. If he starts fighting, I don't think I can withstand it.
Zuo Bai knew very well that his current abilities were no longer effective. After all, this was not his original body. By borrowing Lin Mo's body, he could only exert 20% of his strength at most.
But even if his real body came, he might not be able to defeat this old locust tree spirit.
So, you can't do anything.
To achieve harmony, we must win people over with virtue.
In fact, Lin Mo was also present during this whole process, but he was just like a spectator, watching Zuo Bai talking to the other party.
He also saw this tree.
My first reaction was “What the hell?”
The trunk is thick and bumpy. At first I thought it was just pimples on the old bark, but when I looked closely, I found that they were actually bumps that looked like human heads.
And the resentment in this tree is extremely strong.
I don’t know how much resentment and malice it has absorbed.
Looking at the roots that have spread all over the yard, you can tell that the roots of this tree have already spread outside.
Even bigger places.
Lin Mo thought, could it be that he just got lucky and got the biggest BOSS here? If so, then this situation would be a bit troublesome.
Anyway, Lin Mo felt that this thing could kill him in any minute.
Even if he can't kill you in a short time, he can torture you for a long time. In short, falling into the hands of this monster will definitely be a fate worse than death.
Next, Zuo Bai chatted with the Taoist who looked like a corpse. The other party must have been testing Zuo Bai's depth. Fortunately, Zuo Bai was a man of real talent and knowledge, so after two or three sentences, the other party no longer doubted him.
I know that Zuo Bai is a legitimate Taoist priest from Zhengqian Palace.
During this process, Lin Mo looked around the place.
Huang Rourou was not found.
Obviously the other party had left. There must be some kind of passage here. Lin Mo noticed that there was a tree hole under the big locust tree, which was big enough for one person to crawl in.
Lin Mo immediately had a guess in his mind.
Could it have climbed in here? In addition, the locust tree has many branches, and from a certain angle, it looks like it is baring its teeth and claws.
There are some signs hanging on it.
Look carefully, there is a name written on the sign.
Lin Mo immediately saw some familiar names.
These were the names of the victims in Ice City. Lin Mo had read the information several times and remembered them clearly.
At that moment, Lin Mo thought of the "sacrifice" that had been bothering him.
Now it seems that this sacrifice was made to the tree spirit, and the one who did all this was Huang Rourou. The other people from the Pastoral Society were just her pawns.
Even Huang Rourou just obeys this ghost tree.
Lin Mo wondered whether he should find an opportunity to burn down the tree.
Fire overcomes wood, so using fire should work.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zuo Bai over there probably sensed something was wrong, so he stood up and said goodbye, saying that he had visited enough and wanted to continue traveling in the ghost world, so he wouldn't disturb him anymore.
As a result, the Taoist in gray smiled grimly and said that he had been here for a long time and seldom met people of the same path. This time he finally met one, so how could he let him leave so soon?
"Stay for a day, let's discuss the Taoist theory and talk about the method of cultivation."
"Let's not do that." Zuo Bai refused.
He felt that the other party had bad intentions.
Although, he himself had no good intentions.
"Stay here for a day. It's quiet here. Besides, since you are traveling as you like, there is no need to rush."
"I'm in a hurry. Who said I'm not in a hurry? I have an appointment. So, I'll come visit you another day. Goodbye, goodbye!"
Zuo Bai said this and was about to leave.
As a result, the door suddenly closed by itself at this time.
With a bang.
Lin Mo and Zuo Bai were so shocked that their hearts skipped a beat and their scalps went numb.
"I asked you to stay here, so you just stay here. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
The Taoist said with a gloomy face.
you?
When Lin Mo heard the other party say this, he knew he was exposed.
"Uncle Zuo, has the other party figured it out?"
"Nonsense, you guys can't figure it out even though it's all your fault? I never thought this ghost tree is so powerful that it could see through my tricks."
"What should we do then?"
"Haha, what else can we do? Since it has already torn its face, do we have to indulge it? Let me tell you, what I, Zuo Bai, Zuo Qianqiu, am best at is not Taoist doctrines and cultivation methods, but attack and killing methods. Since we are going to fight, let it know how powerful I am."
Zuo Bai snorted and immediately sent out two talismans.
One ball of lightning hit the Taoist in gray, and the other ball of lightning hit the ghost locust tree over there.
In the end, the other party didn't dodge.
There were two loud bangs.
There was also an arc of lightning.
It seems that Zuo Bai really used his skills.
With just this one move, the ordinary nightmare would be shattered.
First, the Taoist in gray had a hole blown in his chest, revealing the torn flesh inside.
But there is no blood.
Although its internal organs and bones were broken, its body was filled with dirt and tree roots, and there were many poisonous insects crawling around, densely packed and looking creepy.
It seems that he is not afraid at all.
In addition, a piece of the bark of the locust tree was blown open, revealing bright red blood inside, accompanied by bursts of roars and screams, as if there were a dozen men and women screaming and cursing.
The sound makes people dizzy and nauseous.
"run!"
At this time, Zuo Bai controlled Lin Mo, jumped up in one step, and actually flipped over the wall.
You have to know that the wall is more than five meters high. Zuo Bai's jumping ability is just like that of a grasshopper, with amazing jumping ability.
When he got outside, Zuo Bai suddenly vomited and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It's broken, Lin Mo, I..."
Zuo Bai was disconnected before he could finish his words.
If inviting gods is online, then sending gods off is offline.
And the other party did not go offline normally, but was disconnected.
Lin Mo knew that Zuo Bai was attacked.
But he didn't know what method the ghost locust tree used, he couldn't feel it.
This is terrible.
But Lin Mo knew that he couldn't explore the matter at this time, and he didn't have the time to explore it. In one word, run.
Lin Mo immediately spread his legs and ran wildly.
He didn't dare run towards where his brother was hiding.
He was afraid of getting his brother into trouble, so he ran in another direction. But no matter how he ran, he always felt like a ghost was following him. That sense of crisis never diminished, but instead intensified.
Feeling that it was a life-and-death situation, Lin Mo was also forced into a corner. Without saying a word, he opened the door of a nearby shop and rushed in.
