"Fairy?"
In Momo's room in the hotel, Ye Fei told him what she had heard — this iron box was found under the ruins of this' Fairy's' home.
"It should be some kind of charlatan in the countryside before the Four Olds." Ye Fei expressed her opinion, "In the old days, most of the people in the countryside were ignorant. Outsiders often used some small knowledge of chemistry and physics to fool the people."
Momo rubbed his eyebrows, looking at Ye Fei with a strange expression, "Brother Ye, we're both cultivators. It's so weird to talk about chemistry and physics here …"
Ye Fei shrugged, "With the development of science, people gradually forgot about another kind of power … but I can't say whether it's good or bad."
Momo was surprised, "Why do you say so?"
Ye Fei smiled, "Brother Mo, what do you think about the power of your Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Momo gave a start, frowning, "My sect focuses on exorcising ghosts and demons. With the help of the talisman technique, my master said it's stronger than other orthodoxies. But Taoism is broad and profound, so it's hard to say which sect is more powerful. "
Ye Fei shook her head, saying indifferently, "Brother Mo, just tell me, what do you think about the power of your Taoist technique?"
Momo was silent for a while, "It's very powerful … many techniques can't be used easily."
Ye Fei nodded, "That's right, Brother Mo. There are many branches of Taoism in the world. For thousands of years, the predecessors created and the descendants carried forward, making this system extremely complex and powerful. In ancient times, many disciples of Taoism had to persevere for dozens of years to get in touch with Taoist techniques, and it was very likely that they had only scratched the surface. But now … Brother Mo, when did you start to practice Taoist techniques? "
"When I was 14, my master taught me the first Taoist technique, Five Ghosts Transfer." Momo said casually, then waved his hand. The teacup on the table seemed to be held by something, slowly floating into his hand.
"Brother Mo, you're good at martial arts." Ye Fei smiled, "Brother Mo, you've already started to practice Taoist techniques at 14 years old. I can only say that you're very talented … but it also proves the progress of Taoism. After thousands of years of condensing and summarizing, it was already able to allow the later generations to take fewer detours. Actually, it wasn't just Brother Mo. Many dao sects had also started to let their young disciples cultivate dao techniques. However, if you stop and think about it, this is probably a sign of the decline of the dao sects … Brother Mo, do you understand what I mean? "
Momo thought for a while and frowned, "You mean, the Dao sects were prosperous in the past, so they didn't lack disciples. That's why they always let their disciples temper themselves. Before cultivating martial arts, they had to cultivate their minds first. Only when they were ready did they let go of the Dao cultivation. Now … now they've been forced to change their strategy? "
"Do you know why?" Ye Fei suddenly asked.
Momo shook his head subconsciously.
Ye Fei sighed and said, "In order to not let the inheritance be broken … Brother Mo, think about it. If we still follow the old way of cultivating the heart before cultivating immortality, how many years would we waste? Modern people are eager for quick success and quick benefits. How many people could calm down and meditate for dozens of years and cultivate Qi day after day? I don't deny the existence of such people, and they are even the true successors of the Dao sects … But it's too hard to find such people. We have no choice. If we cut off the inheritance, we'd be ashamed of our ancestors. Therefore, we have no choice but to settle for the second best. "
"If so, won't it cause the Dao heart to be unstable?" Momo said solemnly, "People … can easily lose themselves because of great power."
"It's just like the science in the world today." Ye Fei said indifferently, "The explosive development of science only happened in the past one or two hundred years. But whether it's ability or power, it's focused on changing and even destroying the world … Now, it's already in the hands of most people. Brother Mo, do you think it's a good thing? "
Momo shook his head.
Ye Fei sighed, "The same goes for the Dao sects. They lowered the threshold to prevent the inheritance from being broken. Isn't it another kind of 'science'?"
"Brother Ye, you're worrying too much." Momo shook his head.
Ye Fei said, "Brother Mo, after the establishment of Xin, in order to prevent the evil cultivators from harming the common people, there was a large-scale extermination. Do you know that?"
Momo nodded, "I heard from my master that Shinryū of Chellona and Xuanyuan Palace worked together to wipe out all the evil sects in Chellona within a few months. All the evil cultivators were either crippled, suppressed, or killed on the spot. "
Ye Fei said, "Actually, many of these evil cultivators used to belong to orthodox Daoist sects. However, it was precisely because the Dao Sect had lowered their threshold that they had gone astray. Since ancient times, there weren't many evil and evil sects … Demons came from the heart, and demons came from Dao. "
Momo heaved a sigh, "I see."
Ye Fei paused at this moment, and then said, "However, even if the evil cultivators were basically wiped out, Xin still established the Administration. In these decades, there were still many evil Daoists who abused Dao … Demons can't be eradicated. As long as there are evil thoughts in the heart, demons will appear. "
Momo sighed, "So Brother Ye, you said that even if cultivation is forgotten by the world, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad."
Ye Fei slowly closed her eyes.
This made Momo's heart heavy … But his master only asked him to go down the mountain to gain experience. It was too monotonous to only kill some evil spirits and disobedient little monsters. This kind of discussion with his peers seemed to be necessary, right?
Demons came from the heart …
Momo was moved, asking subconsciously, "Brother Ye, if you meet a demon, what will you do?"
Ye Fei slowly opened her eyes, with cold light in her eyes, saying in a low voice, "Eliminate all evil. Since the degeneration of Dao sects is irreversible, we can only rely on the later generations to remove it bit by bit. When all the impurities are removed, it will be clear. "
Momo opened his mouth, but at this moment, he wasn't shocked by Ye Fei's words, but the clarity in his eyes.
…
After that, Ye Fei left with the box, saying that she would find a way to investigate the origin of the thing in the box — she also left some test tubes in the box for Momo.
She probably thought that Momo might have a chance to investigate it.
But in fact, they didn't have to separate like this — Momo actually thought that it was possible for them to cooperate in the investigation.
He suddenly felt that he might be a rather eccentric person who was a loner.
Recalling that Ye Fei had mentioned the name of his sect, Momo thought for a while before taking out his phone and calling Taoist Changhe, who was far away in Dragon Tiger Mountain, who had led him to cultivate immortality.
Momo looked at the convenient phone in his hand, muttering, "Where's science?"
"Hello? Brat, what did you say? "
"Old man, let me ask you something. Have you heard of the 'Ultimate' Dao Sect?"
"Ultimate Ruins? What the hell? Never heard of it. Why do you suddenly ask about it? "
Momo casually told him about his encounter with Ye Fei and the things that happened in the fishing village.
"I don't have any impression of Ultimate Ruins. I just checked the dictionary of Dao sects, it's also recorded in it. But from what you've said, he seems to know a lot about Shenzhou. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to not report to the Administration … Could it be that he's really one of those secluded sects? Or perhaps … "
"What are you talking about?" Momo said impatiently, "Old man, can you not speak in paragraphs?"
"Stinking brat, stinking brat, tell me everything you said in detail. Don't miss a single word!!"
"Recite …" Momo wailed loudly, but still closed his eyes, recalling word by word.
Daoist Changhe didn't say anything for a long while. When Momo was about to lose his patience, Daoist Changhe's voice came from the phone, "The younger generation wouldn't know about the annihilation of Demon Sect. Because we've made an agreement, we won't tell others about it. That guy is about your age and he's from a secluded sect, so he shouldn't know about it. It's unreasonable … unless … "
"Unless what?"
"Unless he's one of those evil cultivators that were annihilated." Daoist Changhe's voice was a bit deep, "There were many twists and turns in the annihilation. No one said that all the evil cultivators had been wiped out. Evil Dao cultivators are extremely cunning to begin with. It's not impossible for someone to secretly avoid a calamity. "
"Old man, this Brother Ye doesn't look like one, does he? Like me, he also heard about the legend of the sea monster, so he came here to annihilate the demon. "
"It's just my assumption. Anyway, this guy has a mysterious background. You should pay more attention to him and don't trust him easily. "
Momo nodded.
…
…
Ye Fei came and went like a ghost, so Momo couldn't even grasp his whereabouts — Of course, there were other ways to track him.
But Momo felt it was a bit offensive to track his whereabouts with Taoist magic arts — Anyway, he couldn't confirm Ye Fei's background.
But there was one thing that could be put on the agenda.
The little girl's father, Lui Hai, came back from the village clinic tonight.
It was the first time that Momo saw this haggard middle-aged man. Lui Hai's face was a bit pale because of the serious illness.
After Lui Hai came back, he was scolded by his wife, Luo Aiyu. Facing her mother's scolding, the little girl could only hide far away. She wanted to do something but couldn't.
Momo found the little girl, Lui Yiyun, boiling water in the kitchen.
The little girl was a bit scared of this mysterious young man who had seen through her identity. She grabbed the corner of her clothes nervously, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.
Momo sighed. He had seen a lot of monsters, but it was the first time for him to see such a weak one … He shook his head, "Lui Yiyun, your father has come back. Do you still remember what I told you this afternoon? "
Lui Yiyun nodded and then shook her head, gritting her teeth, "My, my father can't be a monster!"
"So, it's your biological mother who is a monster?" Momo continued.
The little girl wanted to say something, but she couldn't stand it and didn't say anything.
Momo's voice became softer, "Where did your bloodline come from? As long as you get me a drop of your father's blood, you'll know … It's not difficult for you, right? You also want to know your origin, don't you? Don't worry, if your father is just an ordinary person, I won't do anything. "
"Then … if …"
"There's no such thing as' if '." Momo shook his head, "Do you remember what I told you about the Administration? They are all over the country. You just met me this time. If you meet them, it won't be so easy … Do you want to check it by force? "
"Then … OK." Lui Yiyun nodded.
Momo smiled, "That's good. At two o 'clock tonight, let's do it in the woodshed at the back. I'll wait for you. "
"I … I'm going to send water to my grandpa." The little girl didn't nod. She just lowered her head, holding the kettle and trotting away.
Momo watched the little girl running away. Suddenly, he patted his forehead and scolded himself … Actually, he could test the blood of this little girl's grandpa.
Maybe this Lui Hai also had the bloodline of the monster race, and it came from the old man's wife?
However, if that was the case, wouldn't it be more difficult to track down the culprit?
Momo couldn't help grabbing his hair. But at this moment, lightning flashed several times outside the house, followed by a muffled thunders.
'The weather at the seaside is really unpredictable …' Momo muttered as he thought of Ye Fei. 'I wonder if he has found something.'
"I feel … I'm enjoying the fruits of others' labor."
…
…
Late at night, it rained heavily, washing everything away.
A small figure took advantage of the umbrella and braved the strong wind to quickly walk to the door of the woodshed behind the house. He quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
At this moment, lightning flashed and white light filled the woodshed. She saw a pale face in front of her.
Ghost —!
The thunders covered her scream.
"Well, don't be nervous! It's me! "
Momo took out his cellphone, illuminating himself. He looked at Lui Yiyun who was startled, apologizing, "I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't turn on the light. But I was bored waiting, so I sat for a while … Besides, you're a monster, why are you afraid of ghosts? "
The little girl's face was pale, but she still didn't dare to look at Momo's face. She lowered her head, "I've brought the thing …"
She seemed to be a little scared. She clenched a piece of dyed tissue tightly. "Is … is this okay?"
