It was dim, like some unknown valley in the wilderness.

There is a small temple here that is extremely dilapidated.

If Lin Mo hadn't seen the plaque lying on the ground, he would have thought it was a toilet.

Monk Xinnian was sitting cross-legged at the door. He had neither a lotus throne nor any precious robes on his body, and there was not even a cushion under his butt.

He sat directly on the cold ground, his body skinny and dry, like a dead body.

But this person who looks no different from a mummy is actually still alive.

The other party should have used some method to seal all the breath. Lin Mo didn't understand the specific situation, but this time Lin Mo came prepared.

He took a few things out of his backpack.

A string of Buddhist beads and a wooden fish.

This was given by Monk Xinyuan.

Now Monk Xinyuan has also joined the General Administration and is considered a colleague of Lin Mo. Before coming to Tunjing City, Lin Mo had already told Monk Xinyuan that he would meet Monk Xinnian this time.

When I mentioned this matter, the main reason was to lure Monk Xinyuan over as well.

When it comes to kidnapping nightmares, Lin Mo is a professional.

If Monk Xinyuan had not been unable to leave the painting for the time being, Lin Mo might have succeeded this time.

It’s a bit of a pity.

But he didn't leave empty-handed, because he brought a string of Buddhist beads and a wooden fish.

Monk Xinyuan said that his junior brother Xinnian was at a very high level and would not die so easily. He would give him the Buddhist beads and help him knock the wooden fish, and maybe he would wake up.

At that time, Lin Mo felt that it was not very reliable.

Monk Ke Xinyuan spoke with such conviction and seriousness that it seemed as if if you didn't believe him, it would be the greatest insult to their beliefs.

So Lin Mo believed it for the time being.

Give it a try.

Anyway, it would be best if it succeeds. If not, there is no loss.

At this moment Lin Mo looked at Monk Xin Nian again. He was sitting cross-legged, motionless, blind, and the blood flowing from his ears had already turned dark brown. Looking at his mouth, his tongue had also been cut off.

Either Lin Mo admired the monks of Lotus Temple, or this method of sealing demons was really cruel to them. In any case, Lin Mo himself would not be able to do this.

Lin Mo touched here and poked there, and Doudou next to him followed suit, pulling at his clothes and pinching his toes.

"Dad, what is this person doing sitting here?"

Just as Lin Mo was about to speak, he heard a "swish" sound, and Doudou pulled off Monk Xinnian's clothes.

At this moment, Lin Mo was stunned, and Doudou was also confused. Looking at the tattered clothes in his hands, his expression seemed to say that they were too flimsy.

Can it be strong?

I don't know how long this thing has been worn, it has become soft a long time ago. Lin Mo was very careful just now, but Doudou was so ruthless that he stripped off all the clothes.

What should I do?

"Dad, let me put it on him again."

Doudou is also an honest child. He immediately starts by putting clothes on the naked monk Xinnian.

The question is, can this be put on?

After a while, the clothes were torn into pieces. Anyway, if you insist on finding a bigger piece to cover yourself, it’s not impossible, but you’ll be like a savage and can only cover your vital parts.

Lin Mo could only tie the torn clothes around the waist of Master Xinnian.

"Master, you can't blame me for this. Don't worry, I will teach this kid a lesson when I get back. How can you just take someone's clothes off, right?"

It was not clear whether the other party could hear Lin Mo's words, but he said it anyway.

"Dad, can I ask him for some candy?" Doudou asked.

This child is very obedient and remembers everything Lin Mo said.

"Doudou, think about it. You just stripped her clothes off. She was completely naked. Did you see any candy on her?"

"No!" Doudou shook his head.

"Then you asked him for candy, which meant he would die. This monk is a good man, and I won't let you kill him."

"Okay." Doudou licked his lips and squatted aside to play with stones.

Lin Mo started to get down to business now.

He hung the Buddhist beads around Monk Xinnian's neck, then took out the wooden fish and squatted beside him and started beating it.

When Monk Xinyuan gave him these two things, he didn't say anything else. His instructions were simple, just to hang up the Buddhist beads and beat the wooden fish.

But to be honest, in such a strange place, listening to the hollow sounds of the wooden fish did not have any calming or soothing effect, but instead gave me a sense of terror.

After knocking a few times, Doudou was successfully attracted over.

"Dad, this is fun, can I knock on it?"

Lin Mo said let’s go play somewhere else.

"I'm doing serious business here."

Then he continued knocking.

The same goes for Master Xinyuan. He didn't say how many times to knock or how long to knock.

As a result, at this moment, Lin Mo heard a strange sound.

It's like the sound of folding dried fish.

Turning around, I saw that the monk Xinnian, who was originally sitting cross-legged with his head down, had now raised his head.

Moved.

It was like a mummy, and every time it moved, a strange sound came from its body.

The next moment, the mummy reached out and grabbed the Buddhist beads that Lin Mo had put on it, and started shaking them one by one, seemingly in a rhythm, one after another, neither fast nor slow.

Lin Mo also struck the wooden fish in accordance with the rhythm.

After going around the Buddha's head, there were exactly 108 beads.

The next moment, Monk Xinnian turned his head and seemed to be staring at Lin Mo. Although there were no eyeballs in his eye sockets, Lin Mo could feel that he was staring at him.

What followed was a horrifying scene that Lin Mo remembered for a long time.

Blood oozed out of Monk Xinnian's mouth, eyes, nose and ears. It seemed as if the blood had anti-gravity properties and could float and slowly gather together.

If you don't look at these and just close your eyes and listen, it will sound like flowing water under a small bridge.

As the ancients said, what you hear is not as good as what you see.

The disgusting blood slowly condensed into a human head.

Just like Monk Xinnian.

The bloody head glanced at Lin Mo and asked, "Have you been to the Lotus Temple?"

Spoken.

It looks like some weird witchcraft.

Lin Mo nodded: "Master of Mind?"

"It is this poor monk."

The human head admitted it and chanted a Buddhist name.

Doudou next to him poked half of his head out from behind Lin Mo and looked at the floating head with curiosity.

Monk Xinnian also noticed Doudou and immediately frowned.

"Evil demon, kill it with the golden demon-slaying sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Buddhist bead in his hand was crushed to pieces. The broken beads turned into a golden light, like a sharp knife, and slashed straight towards Doudou.

"Don't hurt him." Lin Mo shouted in fear.

Monk Xinnian had a righteous look on his face: "Donor, what I want is to never coexist with the evil spirits. Even if you come to plead for mercy, it will be useless..."

Before he could finish his words, Monk Xinnian discovered that the 'donor' opposite him didn't seem to be talking to him at all, but was bending down and pulling the child.

The golden light was suddenly shattered at this moment.

Monk Xinnian saw it clearly and saw that the golden light was crushed by the purple-covered child with his bare hands.

Only then did he react.

It turned out that the 'donor' was not speaking to him just now.

Don't hurt him.

This 'he' actually refers to himself.

Monk Xinnian wanted to continue shouting "Subdue the demons and monsters", but when he thought of the terrifying aura emanating from the child just now, he thought about it and gave up.

Over there, Lin Mo finally stopped Doudou.

Then he started to criticize the monk Xinnian.

"Master, what are you doing? Do you know that this is dangerous?"

Monk Xinnian laughed awkwardly: "I am indeed rude. I wonder who this little boy is..."

"My son, Doudou!"

"Doudou? This is a very good name. Very good!"

The subsequent communication went much smoother.

Lin Mo told the story of how he met Monk Xinyuan from the Lotus Temple, and also talked about the current situation of the Black Sheep Mansion. Monk Xinnian sighed after listening.

"I never thought that after so much time, Madam Li is still as capable as any man. However, she is just an ordinary person after all. She has not learned the Buddhist teachings of our Lotus Temple. It is already remarkable that she has persisted for so long. It is normal that she cannot suppress the evil spirit in the shrine."

From Monk Xinnian, Lin Mo heard a more detailed account of the past.

He was practicing in the temple. Suddenly one day, a man came to him for help, and he offered real gold and silver.

"Don't misunderstand me, benefactor. I am not greedy for the gold and silver. I followed that man down the mountain that night in order to exorcise demons and save people from danger."

According to Monk Xinnian, it was four days later when they arrived at Tunjing City.

"I was meditating and dreaming, and the evil demon I saw was indeed extremely ferocious. I knew that ordinary methods could not suppress it, so I could only use my Lotus Temple's unique skills to seal the demon into my body. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

According to Monk Xinnian, when he arrived, the evil ghost in the shrine was still intact.

Lin Mo had also heard Yu Ning mention this matter.

It is said that the person who actually chopped the evil ghost in the shrine into two halves was their father, Mr. Li, who later became the owner of the Black Sheep Mansion.

After all, in their eyes, their father is just an ordinary businessman.

But can an ordinary businessman cut the terrifying shrine demon in half?

Aunt Wang who buys vegetables on the street can also exorcise demons and monsters.

"An ordinary businessman? No, no, that donor Li is no ordinary person. His ability is no less than mine. Unfortunately, after killing the evil spirit, he was attacked by it and died suddenly. What a pity, what a pity."

Monk Xinnian said so.

In other words, Mr. Li, Yu Ning's father, cut the evil ghost in the shrine into two pieces and then received a box lunch. Later, Master Xin Nian taught his wife the method of sealing the devil into the body. He and his wife each took half and sealed the two pieces of the evil ghost in the shrine into their bodies.

Master Xinnian was well versed in Buddhism and had great abilities. In his own words, he fought the half-evil ghost on equal terms. The other party could not do anything to him, and he could not kill the evil ghost either.

So the situation has been at a stalemate here.

If Lin Mo had not brought the Buddhist beads and wooden fish from the Lotus Temple, Monk Xinnian would have continued to remain in the stalemate, and it would have been the same for hundreds of years.

It can be said that sacrificing one person will benefit millions of people.

For this reason, Monk Xinnian has merits. Maybe in a few hundred years, he will be able to achieve what the Buddhists call "positive results."

But the lady can't.

She was just an ordinary woman before, and being able to last for ninety years was already beyond her ability, so when Lin Mo came last time, the lady was already on the verge of losing control.

Later, the situation got completely out of control. If Yu Ning hadn't stepped forward and sealed the demon into her body, it would have been a big problem.

Anyway, if this is the case, after the half-bodied evil ghost kills them, it will immediately come to find Monk Xinnian and retrieve the other half of Monk Xinnian's body.

At that time, Monk Xinnian will definitely die, and the evil ghost in the shrine will reappear.

Now the nightmare has completely come true. If the evil ghost in the shrine really comes out, not to mention those far away, the nearby Swallowing Whale City will definitely be the first to suffer.

I guess no one can stop this evil ghost.

"Mr. Lin, since you have a connection with our Lotus Temple and have come all the way to the Black Sheep Mansion again, what are your plans?"

Monk Xinnian asked.

Lin Mo did have a plan.

The reason he came this time was to set Yu Ning free and save her from suffering.

However, the prerequisite is that the evil ghost in the shrine must be destroyed first.

The complete form of the evil ghost in the shrine is very powerful. Back then, Monk Jixinnian and the mysterious Mr. Li could only cut it in half and seal it separately.

The price was that one person died on the spot, and the other two became neither human nor ghost.

Lin Mo didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

His plan was simple.

Direct physical destruction. He had just fought with the half of the evil ghost in Yu Ning's body. To be honest, it was quite tricky. Sister Yue and himself could not defeat the opponent alone.

Now, Lin Mo plans to test the depth of the evil spirit in Monk Xinnian's body.

And this time, Doudou was added.

There is also Lin Mo’s paper man army.

It’s called a test, but the same thing applies: if the timing is right, just take it.

"Sister Yue, I'll have to trouble you to help me later. Please don't think I'm annoying. You helped me, so I owe you a favor. Next time, I'll do whatever you ask me to do, and I won't refuse."

Lin Mo muttered to himself.

He needs to discuss this with Sister Yue, but not with Doudou.

My own son, he can be used at will, without any wages. If you insist on asking for a price, how can a few pieces of candy be considered a big deal? As for the paper man army, let alone that.

In addition, Monk Xinnian, who has Buddhist beads and wooden fish, is no pushover either. In this case, it is five against one, or even six against one, and that's including Xiaohu.

In short, our side has an absolute advantage.

Discuss your thoughts and plans with the monk.

Monk Xinnian also agreed.

Nonsense, who would want to go to hell if they can be liberated? It is extremely painful to seal the devil into the body.

Now that the plan is ready, let’s get started.

Lin Mo's decision to start with the half-bodied evil ghost on Monk Xinnian's side was a well-thought-out decision.

The main reason is that Monk Xinnian himself is much stronger than Yu Ning.

It's like having one more helper.

Once the monk Xinnian is released, the power on his side will be stronger, and the half-body evil ghost's side will be weaker, which is a principle of one gaining while the other loses.

Sister Yue came out reluctantly. Doudou was also encouraged by Lin Mo. Xiaohu was on guard beside them. Lin Mo called out a dozen of the most powerful paper man army.

Everything is ready.

It’s a pity that Xiaoyu didn’t wake up, otherwise I would have a better chance of success.

"Then I will unblock you, Mr. Lin, be careful!"

After Monk Xinnian finished speaking, black gas came out of his body and there was a cracking sound.

A crack appeared behind him.

A bloody thing tried to crawl out.

It was accompanied by a foul stench and a chilling breath that made people shudder.

At this time, darkness invaded, and Sister Yue quickly approached, stretched out her hand, and pulled out the half-body evil ghost inside.

The half-evil ghost immediately grabbed Sister Yue.

The latter tugged violently.

Boom! An incredible force exploded.

The next moment, half of the evil ghost disappeared, and Sister Yue had a strange and scary puppet toy in her hand.

It clearly only has half a body, but it has several twisted arms with eyes and tentacles. However, after becoming a doll, it is not scary at all, but rather looks cute.

Seeing this, Lin Mo was shocked.

I thought, is Sister Yue so powerful? She took down the half-bodied evil ghost by herself?

Just when she was about to praise Sister Yue, suddenly, Sister Yue frowned, and with a puff, a strange spike pierced her arm.

All of a sudden, the doll also fell to the ground.

The doll began to twist and wriggle, and with the sounds of cloth being torn and cotton being shredded, the half-ghost actually broke through the doll's seal and changed back into its original form.

My goodness, this is the first time Lin Mo has seen such a situation.

Sister Yue was obviously angry.

The resentment in his body surged to the sky, and darkness suddenly enveloped half of the evil ghost.

Ahead, there was like a dark barrier.

"Doudou, come on!"

Lin Mo shouted with his eyes, and Doudou happily rushed into the black fog.

This is the first time that Doudou has experienced real combat.

I don’t know if it can work wonders.

Several paper figures also rushed in under the leadership of the red paper figure 'that person'. When the monk Xin Nian saw this, he excitedly sang a few Buddhist mantras.

"It's so satisfying! This time, the momentum is on our side. It looks like we can really kill this evil demon in one fell swoop. Hahahaha, it's so satisfying!"

After he finished speaking, the Buddhist beads in his hand exploded in half, and the air instantly seemed to be filled with scattered golden sand.

The golden sands gathered together and formed a cassock, which was draped over the monk Xinnian.

The next moment, the big monk actually stood up, his whole body glowing, and walked into the black fog without hesitation.

Lin Mo pulled out a brick hammer, shook the green fire, and rushed in with Xiaohu.

Anyway, this battle was thrilling and earth-shattering.

But overall, with so many people on Lin Mo's side, they still formed a crushing momentum, constantly consuming and defeating the power of this half-evil ghost.

Lin Mo smashed down a few bricks.

It was visible to the naked eye that the half-bodied evil ghost had shrunk a lot in size.

Sister Yue was also very fierce. She stretched out her hand and ripped off one of the opponent's eyeballs.

The next moment, the eyeball turned into a rag doll.

The second and the third followed closely.

The other nightmares were also fierce.

But the most powerful one is Doudou.

This guy had short legs, and when everyone else had almost finished beating him, he ran over, hugged the half-bodied evil ghost and asked for candy.

How could a half-bodied evil ghost have any candy? And even if he had any, he wouldn’t give it to Doudou.

But this just triggered Doudou's taboo.

Doudou’s taboo is that if the other party doesn’t give him candy, he will use a special power to kill the other party.

And this force is almost unstoppable at present.

Bang! Half of the half-demon's body exploded.

The broken flesh and blood gathered together and were finally grasped by Doudou's hand and turned into a candy.

Doudou was satisfied.

However, the half-ghost still seemed not to be completely dead.

The remaining flesh and blood immediately turned into a dozen black centipedes, which quickly fled in all directions.

One of them just passed by Lin Mo's feet.

Lin Mo stepped on it and reached out to grab it.

This time, he tried to use the method Sister Yue taught him, and his right eye flashed with light. The originally terrifying and ferocious centipede turned into a cute doll.

I have been quite busy these days with a lot of things to do. Some book friends have asked me before why there is no big chapter. Today, it is here!
