The young palace maid let Lin Mo and Xiao 6 into the yard.

The courtyard is not big, and the houses on both sides are no different from those where other palace maids and eunuchs live. They are simple and plain, with nothing special about them.

An old eunuch in front stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, watching Lin Mo and Xiao 6 coming in.

As expected, this old eunuch was the old Taoist priest that the Feng Shui master mentioned, and also the senior brother of Taoist Zhu Yun.

"Excuse me for visiting!" Lin Mo said politely.

"No problem, no problem." The old Taoist priest was also quite polite.

This feeling is actually not very good.

The reason is very simple. Although it was the first time we met, the other party acted as if he knew I was coming. Whether it was true or not, it seemed a bit pretentious.

Lin Mo is a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush at critical moments.

He likes to get to the point.

"Master Zhu Yun's senior brother, old Taoist priest?" Lin Mo asked.

Although I guessed it must be the other person, I still should confirm it.

"Yes, it's me." The old Taoist priest admitted readily.

Lin Mo asked, "How did you know we were coming?" He didn't seem surprised at all, nor was he curious about what we were doing.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Little brother, you don't know that, except for the ghosts assimilated by this palace, people like me who can still maintain their own identity will basically know it as soon as the living people come down. After all, we have stayed in this place for too long. In our eyes, the two of you are as conspicuous as candlelight in the dark night."

Lin Mo imagined the scene.

The room was originally pitch black, and the two of them were walking around like they were wearing two 100-watt light bulbs on their heads.

Basically, every move is under other people's control.

This is a bit embarrassing.

"So, you knew it from the moment we came down?" Lin Mo asked.

The old Taoist nodded.

That's what it means.

Lin Mo understood why Taoist Zhu Yun could find them so easily.

Why were the five Feng Shui masters able to attack Taoist Zhu Yun just after he left, and after failing they even argued that they had attacked the wrong people?

I guess the old Taoist priest had seen all these things a long time ago.

That's why the old Taoist priest was not surprised at all when Xiao Liu and I came over. He knew in advance that two big light bulbs would come over in the dark environment.

Okay.

This saves a lot of trouble.

If you have anything to say, just say it directly.

"So, do you know what our purpose is?" Lin Mo asked.

The old Taoist nodded.

The strong scent of life on you shows that your body is not dead yet, so you must want to escape from here.

"I mean, you two should not go out."

The old Taoist priest said something.

Lin Mo asked why.

"This Feng Shui formation was set up by Mr. Chunfeng to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and to dispel evil spirits. Once you come in, you can never get out again, and there is no way out."

The old Taoist priest said it with absolute certainty.

As if this is the truth.

Lin Mo said, “That’s not right. Even if we do as you said, we cannot get out under normal circumstances, but we can break the formation and escape.”

It's like being trapped in a room with no door.

I can't just stay trapped like this.

We have to find a way.

The simplest way is to break a wall and you can get out.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest shook his head and said no, no.

"Why not? Can a living person be suffocated to death by holding his urine? We have to try." Lin Mo was still very optimistic. The old Taoist said, "You misunderstood. I'm not saying whether you have the ability or not, nor am I saying that you can't get out by doing this."

"I mean, you can't do this."

"Why?"

"Because I won't let you do that."

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest also looked at Lin Mo.

Just at this moment, the palace maid came out with tea.

Just now the old Taoist priest asked her to make tea, and it is ready now.

"Your daughter?"

Lin Mo thanked him first, then asked.

"Daughter, say hello to these two."

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the young palace maid bowed coquettishly.

Looks pretty good.

She has that gentle and virtuous temperament.

I guess she should be very similar to her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have broken the old Taoist's faith and caused him to suffer the calamity.

After that, the old Taoist priest asked his daughter to go back to the house.

There were only three of them left in the yard.

Xiao 6 looked at the tea on the table, picked it up and took a sip, smacked his lips, and said he wanted more.

"I'll give you this cup, too."

Lin Mo handed it over.

Then he looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "What if I must do this?"

The old Taoist priest chuckled.

He knew what Lin Mo was talking about.

"For example, I was brought up the mountain by my master when I was seven years old. I learned a lot of skills, including skills, methods, techniques, principles, and arts. I am proficient in everything. But even I still have to submit to fate in the end. It's really beyond my control. I only understood this truth after getting hurt. So I hope you, my little brother, don't be like me. After struggling for a long time, I found that the result was no different. It's better not to struggle from the beginning."

Lin Mo smiled and said that if you got a bloody head, it was because you insisted on hitting your head against the wall. It was your own problem. How can you say that other people are the same as you? "You can't pick up a hair on the ground and say it's from a mouse. Maybe it's from a cat, right?"

Lin Mo obviously didn't want to listen to the other party's reasoning.

To put it nicely, this is truth; to put it bluntly, it is heresy.

"Young people like to act on impulse, which is not a bad thing. On the contrary, I admire it. Just like my useless junior brother Zhu Yun and the five Feng Shui masters with ulterior motives, they like to act on impulse. You see, even if they did something wrong, or even did something to let me down, I don't blame them, let alone seek revenge on them. However, they still have to be punished."

"What punishment?" Lin Mo asked.

From what the old Taoist said, the other party seemed to know what Taoist Zhu Yun and the five Feng Shui masters had done.

He even knew that his daughter was framed by these guys.

Otherwise he wouldn't have lost his life.

This was definitely a blood feud, but I didn't expect the old Taoist priest to not take revenge.

Especially if he is capable of revenge.

It's even more incredible.

"That is, of course, to take away what they have been trying so hard to get, but not tell them, so that they have to plan for it for hundreds of years, and then find out that it is all in vain. This is the punishment I want to give them."

After the old Taoist priest said this, Lin Mo felt that it was a bit murderous.

And from what the old Taoist said, the other party has already obtained what Taoist Zhu Yun and the five Feng Shui masters had planned.

But he didn't tell anyone and just watched them play monkey tricks.

This level of revenge and retaliation is indeed very high-end.

Lin Mo thought about it and realized that what Taoist Zhu Yun and the five Feng Shui masters were planning was the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In other words, it is the yellow robe and the jade seal.

With these two things, he will become the new emperor of Qianlong Palace, possessing supreme power, and can absorb the evil energy that has accumulated for hundreds of years in the entire Feng Shui formation.

So according to the old Taoist priest, these things have already fallen into his hands?

Lin Mo looked the old Taoist priest up and down.

"Everyone can brag, just prove it."

"OK!"

The old Taoist nodded, he reached out and pulled off his coat.

The other person was actually wearing a dragon robe.

The golden color made him look rich and majestic. Originally, the old Taoist priest was short and a little hunchbacked, but when he put on the dragon robe, he suddenly looked tall and majestic.

It really is true.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.

This is different after dressing up and tidying up.

Before, he was just a wretched old eunuch, but now, he is the true emperor.

The old Taoist priest in dragon robe looked dignified.

Lin Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Little brother, look, isn't this what they have been trying so hard to get?"

The old Taoist priest opened his arms and displayed his dragon robe.

Then he put down his hand and said, "To be honest, the evil spirit here is just some tricks I used to deceive them. My junior brother and the five Feng Shui masters think they are smart, but in fact they are extremely stupid. How could I not know that they were the ones who planned all this in the first place?"

"According to my original plan, I was going to play with them for a few more days, and then strike when they thought they had won, letting them taste the bitter fruit of despair. But I didn't expect you two to show up unexpectedly."

"Just show up. Over the past few hundred years, there have been people who accidentally strayed into this place. Most of them were assimilated by this place and became confused ghosts. It's not surprising. But you two are obviously different from the previous people."

"You are much more capable than I thought. You actually managed to counterattack in the formation set up by five Feng Shui masters, and it was a crushing victory. You did a great job. I have to admire you."

"You are smart and capable. I cannot keep you here. Don't blame me for being ruthless. If I keep you two here, it will definitely be trouble in the future. I am most afraid of trouble."

As the voice was speaking, Lin Mo noticed someone pushing the door open. In addition, the surrounding walls were filled with people at some point.

He was the emperor's sword-bearing guard.

These guards were wearing armor and had gloomy expressions without any unnecessary expressions.

The knives in their hands were shining with cold light, and there was no doubt about their destructive power.

Lin Mo estimated that even if the gods of the Redemption Society came, they would die under these swords.

It was obvious that the old Taoist priest was ready to kill if they disagreed with him.

Moreover, the other party was obviously much more powerful than the five Feng Shui masters. Before they came, Lin Mo really had no idea of ​​it. He did not expect to be surrounded without knowing it.

"Master, what do you mean?" Lin Mo asked immediately.

"Can't you see it? It's so obvious." The old Taoist spread his hands.

Lin Mo said he could see it.

"No need, really. I feel like there's some misunderstanding between us. You're getting angry after just a few words. Can't we discuss it properly? What's the point?"

Lin Mo tried to persuade him kindly.

Tell the other person not to be impulsive. He is so old, why is he still so uncalm?

The old Taoist priest chuckled and asked Lin Mo, "Can we talk?"

"Of course we can talk?" Lin Mo nodded.

"Have you given up the idea of ​​breaking the formation?" the old Taoist asked again.

Lin Mo immediately shook his head: "No, I have definitely broken this Feng Shui formation."

"Then there's nothing to talk about." A hint of murderous intent flashed in the old Taoist's eyes.

"Of course we have to talk. If you don't talk, how do you know I don't agree?" After Lin Mo finished speaking, he took out a pencil, pulled out Sister Yue, and threw a bronze mirror to the old Taoist priest.

"Get started!"

"Kill me!"

Lin Mo and the old Taoist priest shouted almost at the same time.
