Chapter 95 It’s even harder to explain

Lin Du went out and looked up at the sky.

The moon in the mountains always seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and when it fell on the ground it was pale and sparse.

She took out a mirror from her arms and knocked on the door. "It's me, Lin Du."

The door opened quickly, and Xia Tianwu looked down at the mirror in Lin Du's hand, "What is that?"

"My second senior brother and I modified the Secret Realm Sky Eye designed by my master a while ago. I call this thing surveillance."

Lin Du smiled and said, "I made some changes to Master's Sky Eye blueprint, reducing the range and some functions, but adding some sound transmission effect. However, the distance cannot be too far, and it needs induction to maintain."

There were voices talking inside, but Lin Du seemed absent-minded. He looked up into the room and saw a black gold sword stick standing upright in the middle of the bed. Mo Lin had already slept and seemed to have slept for a while. He was struggling to raise his head in a daze, trying hard to open his eyes, and even his eyebrows and wrinkles were exerting force.

Mo Lin is unable to use his spiritual power now, and he has been through a lot during the day, so he feels really tired now.

Lin Du ignored him and found a bench to sit on, listening to the movement in the mirror.

Xia Tianwu didn't know why the junior master insisted on coming to their room in the middle of the night to test a newly made magic weapon, but soon the content of the conversation made her frown slightly.

"Is it because it's been so long that you don't remember?"

"People in our village cannot leave Qinglu Village. Although we have enough food and clothing, we cannot leave for generations. If we give birth to a daughter, she will never be able to leave the village. She will either become the bride of a man in the village or the bride of the Moon Goddess. Only boys...only boys can be chosen and taken away from the village in the year of the Dancing Elephant."

"I heard from the village chief that the boy who was chosen by the messenger and sent out had a mark on the base of one of his hands. The messenger said that it was the mark of the Moon God, so that he would always remember his origins, so that even if he didn't come back in the future, he would not forget it. Taoist priest, how did you come back? How could you have forgotten everything?"

"You can come back, doesn't that prove that you can also bring people out?"

Lin Du lowered his eyes. At the age of fifteen, no wonder he wanted to erase his memory.

Xia Tianwu's voice rang out, "If it's at the base of the palm, it's the Shenmen acupoint."

Lin Du nodded, "It's the Shenmen acupoint. I checked it."

"Junior Master, haven't you read the medical book? What is the Shenmen acupoint related to?" Xia Tianwu suddenly asked her.

It was like being slapped in the face in class. Lin Du endured the humiliation and thought of his master who was accused of drawing ghost talismans by Feng Chao. He decided not to let his nephew tell his apprentice that he had no knowledge of basic medical knowledge. He said, "It is related to the heart and mind. It can be used to treat palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia, dementia, madness..."

Lin Du suddenly stopped talking, "Tao Xian is already a cultivator in the Tengyun realm, and he has experienced two heavenly tribulations, which can be considered a complete transformation. However, the scar still exists, which means that the Shenmen acupoint has been completely destroyed?"

Xia Tianwu nodded. As expected of his junior uncle, he was much smarter than Mo Lin.

Lin Du looked at the bewildered man in the mirror. Tao Xian even suspected that the woman was a ghost from the mountain village who came to seduce him. He stood aside, covering his ears and waiting for the man to get up, as if to say, "I don't want to listen."

"I have no choice. Granny Ma said that I am pregnant with a girl. Did you know that? She has only two possible outcomes. One is that she will keep giving birth to children after she grows up, and the other is that she will be chosen by the Moon God to become his bride. Either way, she will die."

Tao Xian was obviously shocked. "How is this possible? This is ridiculous. You can choose not to have children. Is it possible that someone can control you?"

"We can't help it, we have to be pregnant in the spring...we have to be pregnant every spring."

"We are a village favored by the Moon God. We can only follow the Moon God's rules."

Lin Du slowly frowned, "No wonder she looks a little old even though she is clearly a little girl."

Continuous childbirth is extremely harmful to the mother.

"I'm afraid this Moon God is an evil creature." Mo Lin's brain finally started working.

"Just be quiet. It's not your turn to be a hero now." Xia Tianwu directly exposed Mo Lin's eagerness.

Mo Lin was deflated. He lay on the bed hugging the quilt, not getting down. He closed his eyes, believing that if he could not see, his heart would be pure.

"Does Granny Ma have any connection with the Moon Goddess?" Xia Tian was worried. "She allowed us to find this place. Isn't she afraid that we will reveal the secret?"

Lin Du tapped the table and asked, "Where is our wandering Taoist priest in southern Yunnan now?"

Mo Lin opened his eyes again, "I'll make the contact."

This is all he can do. If he is not allowed to participate, he will be worried and unable to sleep.

Lin Du returned his gaze to the mirror and suddenly noticed that Tao Xian's body posture was not right. He pulled Xia Tianwu with one hand and quickly took out the Fu Sheng Fan with the other hand. He flew out of the house and came to another house. He then kicked the door open and opened the folding fan in his hand. Then a flowing white light swept across.

The movements were so smooth that neither of the two people in the room could react.

"Don't move."

Lin Du held the fan and pointed at Tao Xian. "I told you before, if you come again, I will kill you. No matter how many bodies you have, I will kill one for each one that comes."

Dense white frost had already climbed up all over the house and was growing inch by inch. All of a sudden, the house felt like it had arrived in the extremely cold northern desert, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

Tao Xian's spiritual power moved, and he shook off the frost on his body. He looked at the person in front of him steadily, "Lin Du, if you want Mo Lin to live, you can only abide by the rules."

"Rules are meant to be broken." Lin Du suddenly had several short blades in his hands. "I don't follow the rules, so don't try to play tricks on me."

The moment the eight short blades flew into the air, the icy mist in the air that Tao Xian had pushed away suddenly glowed faintly, and then complex patterns formed between the eight short blades, as if eight meteors were falling vertically, like a huge bell, landing on Tao Xian head-on, making a muffled buzzing sound.

The tip of the short blade hit the ground with a clanging sound, and then it was firmly stuck in the brick in the direction of the Eight Diagrams.

Harsh words aside, Lin Du's move was to trap someone, not kill them.

"Anyone who reveals the secrets of our village to outsiders will be punished by the Moon God. Don't you know that?"

Tao Xian stared at the woman on the ground, raised his hand and drew out a long sword, trying to break the formation.

The woman on the ground who had just been smothered by the frost covered her belly and looked at Tao Xian in panic, "How...how...are you the messenger of the Moon God?"

"But your mother and sisters were once in the village, like cows kept in a pen. They were probably not even in human form when they died. Don't you feel any pain at all? Now, you are the one chosen by the Moon God to leave, so you are unwilling to help me?"

"This, this is totally wrong. It shouldn't be like this. You know the outside world better than I do. You should know better... People shouldn't be like this..."

"I can do this, but my daughter, my daughter can't do this anymore..."

"She should marry someone she likes and who also likes her. She should have the opportunity to choose..."

The sword scraped across the edge of the formation, and the spiritual power collided and rubbed, bursting out with dazzling light. The eight short blades began to vibrate on the ground, and the blades collided with the bricks at a high frequency, making a slight sound.

The woman's sobbing drowned out the tiny noises. Lin Du poured his spiritual power into the folding fan and stared into Tao Xian's eyes.

At that moment, Tao Xian came to his senses. Looking at the golden wall in front of him and the shadowy figures behind it, he blurted out, "Master Lin, what are you doing... I, I was caught cheating?"

Lin Du: ...

She raised her hand to support her forehead, then turned around and met the eager gazes of the men outside the door. They were wielding various farm tools and sticks, and led by the village chief, they were looking at the woman who was crying breathlessly in the house and the foreign monks.

It’s over. I can’t explain it now.
