The old Taoist priest tells the story of a Taoist genius who did not follow the usual path and found a new way. However, he could not resist the temptation and finally fell into the evil way, and his Taoist practice was ruined.

This was obviously what his master taught him, and he used Taoist "scum" like Zuo Bai as a negative example.

But the same story can be viewed from another perspective.

A Taoist genius does not want to stick to the old ways that have been passed down for hundreds of years. He wants to innovate. He is a trend-setter of the times who is brave enough to innovate and dares to fight.

Of course, that was the era at that time. If it were now, these behaviors and actions would be nothing. There are many things that are more horrible, scary, and more eye-catching than this.

Maybe because he had seen too many mental patients and perverts, Lin Mo felt that what Zuo Bai did was nothing.

Obviously, even though the old Taoist priest has existed for hundreds of years, he has a knowledge barrier and is clearly not as good as Lin Mo in terms of vision on certain things.

So Lin Mo walked over and said to Bai Zuo: "Uncle Zuo, I actually understand what you did. Since ancient times, innovation has always been the most difficult. How many people have been unknown, even misunderstood and criticized."

These words clearly touched the heart of the white left.

The old guy felt like he was drinking with a close friend.

"Boy, what you said is right. I like it. But why do you also call me Grand Master Uncle?" Bai Zuo asked.

Lin Mo said that the old Taoist priest was his second brother, and since they were sworn brothers, he should naturally follow the old Taoist priest's way of addressing him.

"I am a person who values ​​tradition and etiquette the most." Lin Mo said seriously.

Obviously, they had unknowingly drawn closer to each other.

Others may not know, but Lin Mo obviously regards summoning gods as a "business".

How to do business? First, you need to get closer to each other and call each other brothers. Don't talk about the business principles of other cultures. Why are many deals in China done over a drink? Because the dinner table is a relatively relaxed environment. When you can eat together, you subconsciously think that you are closer than strangers. If you drink a lot of wine, get a little drunk, and have a good chat, it will be even more pleasant.

It is also easier to do business in this situation.

The most fundamental point is to build closer relationships.

Lin Mo was also gradually getting closer to Zuo Bai.

The opponent is not weak.

He prayed to the gods nine times in a row and finally opened a blind box that he was quite satisfied with.

And after listening to his second brother's introduction, he became even more interested. An old Taoist senior, he even fought back against his second brother's master. It was obvious whether the other party was powerful or not.

The old Taoist priest gave Lin Mo a fierce look at this time.

Lin Mo saw it.

He also knew what the old Taoist priest wanted to say to him.

It was nothing more than reminding himself to be careful of the other party; or being more radical and wanting to avenge his junior brother and master and kill Zuo Bai.

If the second brother insists on this matter, Lin Mo will help him.

After all, relationships vary in degree, and I can't let my second brother down just because I want to gain Zuo Bai's power.

So Lin Mo took the old Taoist priest to the kitchen.

"Second brother, do you want to kill him?"

Lin Mo made a gesture of raising his hand and cutting with the knife.

This time it was the old Taoist priest who was stunned.

"Third brother, why do you think so? That's not what I meant."

The old Taoist priest quickly waved his hands and said that his master had specifically reminded him that although Zuo Bai had fallen into the evil way, he was still a senior in their Taoist sect. He also said something similar to Lin Mo, saying that Grand Master Zuo Bai was not evil by nature, and if there was a chance, he should be guided into the right path.

"Is that so? That's easy. To be honest, I'm not sure if I can really kill him. Even if he's on drugs and his family members work together, they may not be able to kill him."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he went out to negotiate with Zuo Bai again.

At the beginning, everyone was a little bit secretive, speaking half of the words, not particularly explicit, but Zuo Bai was also an experienced person, and it was not easy to fool him. The same was true in reverse, Lin Mo was also as cunning as a fox, and Zuo Bai's several attempts were easily resolved by Lin Mo.

It can be said that the two sides are evenly matched and neither side has taken advantage of the other.

Lin Mo saw that this wouldn't work.

He could see that both parties wanted to cooperate, but they had not yet agreed on the conditions.

In that case, let’s not hide it.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo slammed the table.

"Uncle Zuo, let's be frank."

Zuo Baisen smiled: "I don't want to be pretentious, it's too tiring. I should have been more open a long time ago."

Lin Mo said, "I only have one request. Let's negotiate the terms and you can help me if I need your help in the future."

"Uncle Zuo, if you have any conditions, please state them."

"That's great. I'll tell you then." Zuo Bai held up a finger: "One hour!"

"What one hour?" Lin Mo was puzzled.

"Let me play with your body for an hour."

Lin Mo's body was shaken after hearing this.

His eyes widened as he pointed at Zuo Bai opposite him.

"Uncle Zuo, I didn't expect you to be such a person and have such a special hobby."

Zuo Bai knew that Lin Mo had misunderstood and immediately spat.

"What the hell are you thinking? I mean, I can ask God to help you, but afterwards, I will requisition your body for an hour. During this hour, you stay in the hut and I will go outside. Do you understand?"

Lin Mo nodded and said that he understood this time.

In fact, I just want to use my body to get some fresh air.

"What do you think? Do you agree or not?" Zuo Bai asked.

"No!"

Lin Mo shook his head at this time.

This time, not only Zuo Bai, but even the old Taoist priest next to him was stunned.

I wondered what was going on.

Didn't you say you should speak frankly and discuss the terms seriously? Why are you suddenly disagreeing?

"You are not sincere? How dare you play tricks on me?" Zuo Bai was furious and seemed really angry.

Lin Mo asked why you were in such a hurry.

"You won't let me bargain? I'll make one offer, and you can make another, and then the deal will be done."

“…”

Zuo Bai understood what Lin Mo meant.

He thought about it and said half an hour plus three quarters of an hour.

Lin Mo said, don’t take three quarters of an hour, just half an hour.

"Half an hour? No, no, it's too short."

Zuo Bai shook his head to express his disagreement.

Next, Lin Mo and Zuo Baizhen were just like bosses in the business world, haggling over every penny. After some final bargaining, they decided on the time the body could be used.

Half an hour plus a quarter of an hour.

If you encounter special circumstances, you can add one moment, but you will have to subtract the corresponding time next time.

Converted into minutes, it is about seventy-five minutes.

In addition, Lin Mo also made three rules with the other party.

First, if Zuo Bai is not capable enough and Lin Mo feels it is inappropriate, he can terminate the cooperation immediately; second, during the 75 minutes that Zuo Bai uses his body, he cannot do anything that harms his body or violates the laws of the real world.

That's basically it.

In fact, this condition is still very favorable to Lin Mo.

Simply put, if Zuo Bai's ability is too weak after summoning the gods, Lin Mo will immediately kick him out of the contract, and he will not be needed in the future. You can go wherever you want for a night tour.

So Lin Mo must be satisfied, which is why he continued.

However, Zuo Bai is obviously full of confidence in this matter.

After the agreement was made, whenever Lin Mo wanted to summon a god from now on, he would only ask Zuo Bai to possess him.

In this way, Lin Mo now has one more means to deal with his enemies.

Afterwards, Lin Mo chatted with the old Taoist priest and asked him about some things about Master Uncle Zuo. The old Taoist priest said that this senior in the Taoist sect was very powerful.

Even with his current level of skills, he is definitely still far behind others.

After withdrawing from the spiritual realm, Lin Mo stopped praying to the gods.

Because we have reached a cooperation with Zuobai, the blind box for inviting gods cannot be opened for the time being. From now on, whenever you invite a god, the one you invite must be Zuobai.

Now that they couldn't get out, the General Administration didn't dare to rashly send action teams into the Netherworld, and the situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

The director said he wanted to dig up the stone bridge over the pond to see what was underneath.

Lin Mo felt that doing so would destroy some things. Even if their bodies were found in the end, the way to enter this secret Qianlong Palace might be cut off in the future.

Still can't act rashly.

What's more, Lin Mo always felt that there were more secrets hidden deep in the underworld.

That was left by Mr. Chunfeng.

This Mr. Chunfeng is not an ordinary person. The other party's formation is unpredictable. It can be said that with this gentleman's ability, it is impossible not to think that people in later generations will discover the netherworld and break it with violence.

So, it is impossible for Mr. Chunfeng not to be prepared for the possibility of opening the channel through violence.

Lin Mo suspected that once a violent invasion occurred, the entire Feng Shui situation would be destroyed.

This death is so frustrating.

That's why Lin Mo persuaded the director.

All he had to do now was wait.

Waiting for news from Xiao 8.

Xiao 8 is not an ordinary spiritual being. He is a product born in the highest-level laboratory of the White Eagle Country. Lin Mo has been with Xiao 8 for such a long time and is very familiar with this guy's abilities.

Lin Mo believed that as long as Xiao 8 was not dead, he would find a way to contact him.

So, be patient and wait.

This is also a psychological game, and the opponent in the game is yourself.

For a while, Lin Mo chatted with the old Taoist priest, learning his skills and discussing the past and the present. Sometimes, he would even invite some palace maids to sing and dance to liven up the atmosphere.

Those days were full of luxury and decadence.

Lin Mo said, this is not appropriate, it is too much about wine and women.

The old Taoist priest said, "Third brother, what do you know? I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about me. I've practiced for a lifetime, and I can't enjoy myself?" Lin Mo said, "Second brother, what you said makes sense."

Anyway, just enjoy it.

In this closed little world, you don’t know when the sun rises and sets, and there is no mess. Everyone around you is extremely respectful and respects you.

The world is peaceful and prosperous. Although Lin Mo is not an emperor, he now understands the ancient kings who were addicted to pleasure. Indeed, the land of pleasure is a soft knife, and no matter how powerful a hero is, he cannot resist the erosion day and night.

There has been no news from Xiao 8.

This gave Lin Mo a very bad feeling.

Perhaps, Xiao 8 has been killed.

If that's the case, even if my body dies and rots into bones, I won't be able to wait for Xiao 8. I can't keep waiting like this.

There has to be another solution.

But the current situation is that the Netherworld can only be entered from the real world, so even if there are three other extremely powerful special experts, they are of no use at all.

The General Administration doesn't dare to send any more people in, and using remote-controlled robots will also interfere with the signal.

Such a small passage actually stumped everyone.

It cannot be demolished by force.

After Lin Mo analyzed the possibility of forced demolition, the director issued a strict order that no one was allowed to destroy the Netherworld Road.

The situation seems to have reached a certain stalemate.

And it can’t be dragged on endlessly.

Lin Mo and the other members of the action team couldn't last long without food or water.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Mo suddenly thought of a solution.

Maybe this method will work.

He called the director.

Now the incident at Qianlong Palace has become the most important case in the General Administration. It is taken very seriously and the director is in charge personally. At this time, no matter what resources Lin Mo needs, they will be allocated in place as soon as possible.

The person Lin Mo wanted was sent to Qianlong Palace.

Is a member of the 'Death Chamber' studio.

Sickly people and black people.

These two were the first to join Lin Mo's studio and have the highest gaming skills. In the game of Death Chamber, they are definitely among the top players on the leaderboard.

Neither the sickly man nor the black man had ever seen such a scene.

From the time they received the call from the headquarters, to the time they boarded the plane, and were finally brought here, it can be said that there was no delay at all.

At first they had no idea what was going on, they were just told to bring all their gaming equipment. When they actually arrived at the place and talked to Lin Mo, they knew what was going on.

"Only the two of you can try this. You can play the 'Death Chamber' at the entrance to the Netherworld. From what I know about the game, it will absorb the horror elements and scenes around it, and even extract scenes that the players have experienced, or even scenes that you expect. Oh, and look through the scenes that you got from the players before. Maybe there are some related to the Hidden Dragon Palace. I want you to find the corresponding scene, enter it, and look for clues."

This is Lin Mo’s plan.

Let people look for clues in the game of Death Chamber.

Lin Mo also has experience in doing this.

The clues for the search for the Glutton were found in this game. The game Death Chamber is very mysterious and has great power. Lin Mo even suspects that all the unknown and forbidden scenes in the current nightmare world can be experienced from this game.

All of this was communicated over the phone. Sickly Man and the Black Man also understood Lin Mo's intention and said they would try it immediately.

The equipment is ready, and they don’t just stand at the entrance of the Netherworld, they crawl directly in and play the game inside.

In this way, perhaps by opening the treasure chest, we can reveal the scene of this secret Dragon Palace.

The most important thing is that in the game, there is the concept of "life".

In other words, the fault tolerance rate in the game scene should be high.

If you die accidentally, you will only lose your life in the game.

As long as the lives in the game are not used up, they can start over again.

At the beginning, the Death Game was seen as a horrible, dangerous and taboo game because the mortality rate of people playing this game was extremely high.

But if you are familiar with the game and have accumulated some experience in it, then the game mechanism will protect the player in turn.

The first step is to find the corresponding scene.

This process is not dangerous, it just requires carefulness and patience.

Soon, the sick child was discovered.

He quit the game and talked to Lin Mo, saying that he had found several suspicious scenes.

"There are scenes such as 'Palace of Death', 'Ghosts in the Palace', and 'Murderous Eunuch', and I feel that they are all related to Qianlong Palace."

When Lin Mo heard this, it seemed to be the case, but he also felt that these three scenes did not seem to be what he was looking for.

To be honest, he has already explored Qianlong Palace very thoroughly.

What he wanted was about the underworld.

At this time, the black man also discovered it. He took off his helmet, snatched the phone and told Lin Mo that he had spent hundreds of points to open more than a dozen scene treasure chests in a row.

A game scene appeared in one of the treasure chests.

It's called "The Netherworld of Death"! Lin Mo was excited after hearing this.

The place where the black people are is the entrance to the underworld, and if you open the treasure chest there, there is a high possibility of opening the corresponding scene.

And the name matches.

Not surprisingly, this is it.

"Then let's enter the game and explore."

The sickly man and the black man said.

Lin Mo told them to be careful.

"Remember, your goal is very simple, that is to explore, record everything you see and encounter, and then tell me, understand?"

"Understood. Leave it to us."

The sickly people and the black people are full of energy.

They are living a very comfortable life now. They have a formal position in the General Administration and a very complete insurance system. They are the envy of their neighbors in their hometown.

Obviously, they can live the life they have now because of Lin Mo's support, and they remember this favor.

So as long as they can help Lin Mo, they are not afraid of any dangerous mission.

The two people put on their equipment again and started playing the game.

For the game of Death Chamber, sickly people and black people are already very familiar.

After all, now they are doing this full-time.

Lin Mo had gained a lot of benefits in the game before, but because of other tasks, he had not entered the game for a long time. However, they played it every day, so the resources they had in the game at this time were absolutely terrifying.

Select the game scene, add friends, and start the game.

The scene was very similar to the passage they had been in before.

It can't even be said to be similar, it's exactly the same.

The two of them had a very good understanding and began to look for the clown fortune-telling machine.

If you can find it and use the corresponding coin for divination, you may get unexpected clues.

In the various game scenarios they have played in the past, the probability of finding the Joker Divination Machine at the beginning should be about 60%. As long as they can find it, there will be a hint.

However, in this passage, it seems that there is no place to put the clown fortune-telling machine.

The two continued forward.

After walking about twenty or thirty meters, I suddenly heard a strange sound of opera singing.

Lin Mo had already mentioned this weirdness of the opera to Sick Man and the Black Man.

So the two of them responded immediately.

The black man instantly took out a prop.

It was a screaming chicken, and then a fierce pinch.

"Cack, clack, clack!" A sharp and funny sound was heard, offsetting the strange singing voice.
