Chapter 301: The crime is contemporary, the merit is long-lasting

It was another autumn harvest. Mo Lin led a group of people to harvest the spiritual wheat, changed their clothes, and then went to Tianrui Peak.

The formation set up by Lin Du is soundproof and airtight. It is a laboratory specially arranged for Xia Tianwu to study mutant evil spirits. Ordinary people cannot enter or exit.

Mo Lin knocked on the door of the barrier, formed seals and sent in his own spiritual energy before he was able to enter.

As soon as he entered, he heard the earth-shaking sound of chopping bones.

Xia Tian unconsciously sensed Mo Lin's arrival, but was too busy to greet her. He just carried the axe and pounded it.

"Didn't you always use a saw in the past? Why are you using an axe today?"

"Let's test it." Xia Tian chopped down the axe without any effort. "The strength of the demon's bones is amazing."

"That's not how you use an axe. Let me do it." Mo Lin put on gloves and wanted to do it for her.

Xia Tian did not shake his head, "Only if I feel it myself can I know the difference."

Mo Lin had no choice but to put his hand down. He was almost tearing the storybook to pieces.

Things like "One Hundred Ways to Win Your Partner", "How to Quickly Become a Love Master", "Details of Pleasing People", and "Language Master", none of the things in them work on my junior sister.

My junior master said I should read more books, but it seems to be of no use.

Xia Tianwu raised the axe high and chopped it down again.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, there's your letter." Mo Lin took it out. "It feels very thick. I wonder who it's from."

Boom!

There was another loud bang, and the axe penetrated the black and red bone only an inch, but the wooden table underneath collapsed directly.

Mo Lin was quick to grab the table and prevent the things from falling to the ground.

Xia Tianwu made a note in the booklet beside him, then turned around to pack his things and took the letter.

Mo Lin's consciousness quietly fell on it, and then he was frightened by the anatomical diagram and the evil demon skin and silently withdrew his gaze.

"It was sent to me by Quan the Craftsman." Xia Tianwu noticed Mo Lin's gaze, "I almost completed a few spells that still need to be refined a few days ago, so I sent a letter to ask him if there is a way to reverse it."

"After all, there is still a demon in me who has retained the last bit of sanity. It would be great if there was a way to reverse it."

As she read the letter, her brows slowly wrinkled.

"Everyone said that there is a half-intelligent demon in the valley, roughly equivalent to a nine-year-old human. The murderer is making progress."

"It was previously said in the Zhongzhou Strange Stories that this incident was caused by the Demon Lord, who wanted to force the real mastermind to show up, but he never showed up." Mo Lin thought of something, "Based on the character of the Demon Lord, it's unlikely that he would take the blame like this."

"That evil demon is already very weak." Xia Tianwu looked towards the small room not far away. "She can't get food, so she will continue to weaken in the spiritual environment. Her soul has been eroded by the evil spirit, leaving only the last bit of rationality."

She whispered, "She seems to... treat me as her mother."

Mo Lin exclaimed, "Well, how about we try feeding the child some raw meat?"

Xia Tian felt something was wrong and frowned, "Well, let's try it later."

She scanned the scribblings and stopped at the last page.

"Shall I rebuild a table for you?"

"Wait a moment, let's go find Junior Master Uncle first." A trace of panic flashed across Xia Tianwu's eyes. He hurriedly opened the envelope, and indeed, a willow branch was taken out of it.

Mo Lin lowered his head, and his dusty memories suddenly surged up, "Is that... a short branch of red willow?"

Lin Du's daily schedule was very fixed, and he could find her location accurately without even using voice transmission.

When Xia Tianwu and Mo Lin came over, Lin Du was reviewing a chess game in the study. The lights were dim, and the place seemed quite peaceful and quiet.

"Why are you two here together? Do you have anything to tell me?" Lin Du blinked and smiled in a good mood.

A willow branch fell in front of Lin Du, and Xia Tianwu said, "Master Quan said that a new evil demon entered the Echo Valley. One of the evil demons still had the IQ of a nine-year-old child. He had a willow branch hanging from his chest, saying that it was a response to the planner. Master Quan said that he guessed that the attack was not aimed at him, but at... the kid in our team that day who was full of schemes and scheming."

Lin Du narrowed his eyes and looked at the words engraved on it.

"My sins are in my own time, but my merits will last for generations to come. Although I am gone, no one can catch up with me."

Xia Tian watched helplessly as the smile on Junior Master's face had not yet disappeared, and his eyes gradually became colder.

Lin Du clutched the chess piece, leaned back in his chair, and looked down at the willow branch lying across the chessboard, grinning. However, this frightened Chu Guanmeng, who was hanging on his shoulder, to the point of exasperation.

"The sin is in the present, but the merit will last for generations to come."

Lin Du took a deep breath and said, "Oh, what a good word."

This was the response her good senior brother gave her.

They said he was guilty of heinous crimes, but he said his contributions would last for generations.

Lin Du lowered her eyes, the fierceness in her heart spread into her veins, her blood rushing, and a strange sense of excitement at the confrontation made her originally calm mood turbulent.

Wen Fu knew that she was forcing him on purpose. Now that he was being pursued by both the spirits and demons, he would be caught sooner or later.

"Oh yes, uncle-master, there is also a letter for you." Mo Lin thought about it and took out another letter. This letter looked much thinner.

Lin Du took the envelope and found that it was actually strictly prohibited. She raised her hand and poured in spiritual power, and found the problem was, "Would you like some melon seeds?"

Lin Du: ...This Fox is quite creative.

She tried to type in her own name. It was wrong.

What could that be.

Lin Du tried Hu You's name again, but it was still wrong.

She thought about it again and again, and answered Furongyu.

The password was correct and the envelope popped open automatically.

A hibiscus jade carving, this thing will be remembered for a lifetime!

Lin Du sighed, pulled out the piece of letter paper, and found that it recorded the specific names of the Demon Lord's subordinates, from the left and right protectors to the one, two, three, four, and five elders, as well as the lords who were in charge of various territories, as well as their respective hobbies, personalities, and main skills.

In the letter, Hu You mainly pointed out several suspects, one was the right protector who never revealed his true identity, one was the fifth elder who was good at treatment, and the other was the thirteenth elder who was keen on arresting people and torturing demons.

Finally, Hu You said in the letter that the news had been conveyed, and the demons were agitated, and it seemed that many lords were eager to try. However, because the Demon Lord had issued a search order, the evil demons from all sides did not dare to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Lin Du stared at the letter for a while, and a smile of taking control of the situation reappeared in his eyes. He raised his head and glanced at his nephew who looked worried, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing."

"Anything else?"

Xia Tianwu shook his head, "Not at the moment. All the craftsmen sent me new research ideas. I will tell my junior uncle when I have made specific progress."

Lin Du nodded, "Okay."

Xia Tianwu turned around and left, but Mo Lin stood there, with a hint of embarrassment on his righteous face, "Junior Master... your method of reading more books doesn't work!"

Lin Du was confused, "Ah?"

Mo Lin gestured, "That's right, didn't Junior Master say to read more books to accumulate experience? But I've read a lot of ways to pursue a Taoist couple, but they don't work!"

Lin Du took a breath of cool air, "Ah?"

She pressed her temples and asked, "What have you learned?"

"That's right, pay attention to details, cater to their preferences, and focus on companionship..." Mo Lin took out a booklet, "I even took notes."

Lin Du took the booklet and confiscated it.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mo Lin, "Little Master Uncle will teach you something. Since ancient times, tricks cannot keep people, only sincerity can win people's hearts."

"Sincerity is the greatest killer move."

"You are all very simple people. There is no need to complicate things."

Lin Du felt that he was worthy of being a senior uncle, and his annual salary should at least be doubled.

But seeing a 100-year-old, 1.95-meter-tall iron hammer standing in front of him with a pair of big eyes sincerely asking for advice, Lin Du had no choice but to help.

She looked at Mo Lin and said, "It's better to keep going slowly than to try to please him or force yourself to change. Everyone has their own way of getting along with each other. We are all independent and complete individuals who can live normally and independently. When two people want to merge their lives together, they will inevitably have to go through a long period of change and friction. But you have lived together for decades. Don't you understand Tian Wu's personality?"

Lin Du returned to his old ways and explained earnestly, "You have a straight heart, and you are not cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Don't be so hesitant."

She paused and added, "If she says no, then we should let her go. Respect is the most important thing. We should still be good brothers and sisters. Do you understand?"

Mo Lin nodded, not quite understanding, "I know, now that the demonic tide is imminent, she is busy, and I also need to concentrate on my cultivation. So, let's wait until she is done!"

Lin Du watched Mo Lin turn around and pick up his sword stick to practice swordplay. He was silent for a while, then turned to look at his chessboard.

She reached out and swept away all the black spots with a willow branch, then stood up and walked towards the forbidden area.

How could it be possible to shake her determination to continue planning?

Regardless of merits or demerits, she must protect the present and the future.

Lin Du always wants to have it both ways.

She will definitely go further than Wenfu.
