Mo Wudao is a member of the Taoist school, the orthodox sect of Maoshan, and a direct disciple of the Shangqing sect.
However, this guy does not learn Maoshan's serious Taoism, but he likes Fengshui, fortune-telling, divination, physiognomy, and other such techniques.
Moreover, just from the fact that he was able to detect Ling Xiao's whereabouts, it can be seen that this kid has already become a master in Fengshui, fortune-telling and divination.
Hearing that Ling Yun said that his family inheritance is willow wood, Mo Wudao was excited at that time. He is an expert, so he didn't know that willow wood is ghost wood.
Peach willow, locust tree, mulberry elm, these five kinds of trees are all called ghost trees; these five kinds of wood are not suitable for planting in Yangzhai.
Of course, there is another saying about ghost trees, five kinds of willow, mulberry, pagoda tree, big-leaved poplar, and neem.
But no matter which way it is said, willow, mulberry and pagoda tree are all listed among the five kinds of ghost trees.
As the saying goes, "Don't plant mulberries in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant ghosts in the courtyard."
Sang and mourning are homophonic;
Willow, often after a person's parents die, willow branches are often used as mourning sticks and soul-calling flags for funerals, which shows the severity of their yin.
Of course, ghost clapping refers to the big-leaf poplar. The leaves of this kind of tree rattle in the wind, just like many people clapping their hands, so it is called ghost clapping.
Therefore, when Mo Wudao heard Ling Yun say that what he was holding was willow wood, he exclaimed in surprise.
This is because, as a direct disciple of Maoshan and a master of Fengshui, he is extremely sensitive to some special days.
The day after tomorrow is the Hungry Ghost Festival. On this day, it is said that the gates of ghosts are wide open, and it is the day when all ghosts come to the world to wander.
The seventh month of the lunar calendar in China is called the ghost month, the fifteenth day of the seventh month is called the ghost festival, and the fourteenth day of the seventh month is known as the most cloudy day in the ghost month.
Ordinary people may sneer at the above statements, but Mo Wudao is not an ordinary person, he is a major disciple of Maoshan, and he specializes in doing this, how can he not take it seriously
However, it is an indisputable fact that the common people in China will choose to hold traditional sacrifices on the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, visit the graves of their ancestors, burn paper and send money and food to their ancestors for blessing.
This kid Mo Wudao still wanted to take advantage of these two days to go out and wander around more at night to see if he could attract some business. Now that he saw Ling Yun holding a small willow tree, he immediately took the god willow and the ghost wood, As well as the upcoming Zhongyuan Festival, they were automatically connected.
"Show me quickly!"
Mo Wudao changed his lazy look, and didn't cry out that he was hungry at this time, he walked straight in front of Ling Yun, and stretched out his hand to seize God Willow.
How could Ling Yun let him take it away, he disappeared on the spot, hid Mo Wudao far away, and asked with a smile: "What did you just say, this is a ghost tree?"
"Hurry up and show me!"
Mo Wudao was very eager, like a cat whose eyes shine when it sees a fish.
"What do you want?"
Ling Yun teased him and said.
Mo Wudao stomped his feet anxiously: "Just study it, don't worry, it will only benefit you and not harm you!"
"Here you go."
Ling Yun casually threw the piece of divine willow to Mo Wudao, and Mo Wudao immediately grabbed it in his hands, holding it up in front of his eyes as if he had found a treasure, and carefully observed the grain of the willow and the direction of the leaf veins.
Mo Wudao looked at it extremely seriously, the more he looked carefully, the more dignified the expression on his face became, and at the end there was a terrified expression.
Ling Yun knew that Mo Wudao's expression must have seen something, but he was not in a hurry, let alone pressed for questions, and just stood aside silently waiting for the result.
Mo Wudao stared at the log, carefully observing it from top to bottom for a long time. After a long while, he moved his eyes back slightly, with a serious and shocked expression, and nodded suspiciously.
"It should be..."
Mo Wudao said something casually, then turned to look at Ling Yun: "Come with me."
After finishing speaking, he returned to his room in a flash, and Ling Yun followed him of course.
"Ling Yun, if my guess is correct, this piece of wood should have a name, it's called the willow of ghosts and gods, also known as willow of ghosts and gods."
Mo Wudao did not sit down after entering the room, but directly used sound transmission to enter the secret, and said to Ling Yun.
"Ghost Willow?"
As soon as Ling Yun heard the name of this wood, he felt that it was very tall. Regardless of whether what Mo Wudao said was true or not, at least the inheritance of the Ling family was high enough.
"I have read a lot of Taoist classics, so many that I can't count them. I remember very clearly that I saw a detailed description of this kind of wood in an ancient classic."
"In the legend, there is a giant willow that reaches the sky. It grows in the infinite swamp of the Netherworld. It can lead to the Yellow Spring, once this tree grows up, it will shake the world and weep ghosts and gods, ghosts fear gods and worship them, it can attract ghosts and gods, and weapons made of this wood can even fight ghosts and gods."
Speaking of this, Mo Wudao paused for a moment, and then said to Ling Yun: "After reading this, I ran to ask my master, guess what the old man said?"
Ling Yun was also very shocked when he heard what Mo Wudao said to Shen Liumu. He was thinking about it in his heart, and he said casually: "Don't be secretive, let the fart go."
Mo Wudao smiled mysteriously: "Have you heard of Jiang Ziya? My master said that the main material of the weapon in the hands of the Taoist patriarch Jiang Ziya is this kind of wood!"
"Damn, is it true?!"
Ling Yun was also very excited when he heard this, he knew that the god Liumu was extraordinary, but after being told by Mo Wudao, he realized that the god Liumu was so awesome!
"The willow of ghosts and gods has a special effect on intangible things such as souls, spiritual ideas, and spiritual consciousness souls. To truly make it grow, it needs to absorb the souls of ghosts, and when it grows up, it is used to make weapons and specifically restrains spiritual consciousness. Even if the gods are in front of it, it is useless to cast any spells, so ghosts fear and respect gods."
Mo Wudao bragged about Shenliu Mu so much, but Ling Yun was skeptical, he blinked and asked, "Are you sure?"
Mo Wudao hugged the willow of ghosts and gods in his arms, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, tomorrow is July 14th, which is the most cloudy day of the year. Let's take it out at night." Come out and try it out."
"Okay, just try it!"
Ling Yun also wanted to see if this god Liumu was as powerful as Mo Wudao said, if it was true, then he would make a lot of money.
At the same time, Ling Yun also had a deeper thought about the ancestors of the Ling family.
People from the Ling family can grow the legendary willow of ghosts and gods. What does this mean
"How are you going to try?"
Mo Wudao said with a smile: "It's very simple. Tomorrow night, we just need to find a place with a relatively dark atmosphere and take out this small tree, and we don't need to worry about it."
"Okay, listen to you!"
After finishing speaking, Ling Yun stretched out his hand to take back the willow of ghosts and gods.
Unexpectedly, Mo Wudao hugged it tightly and begged, "Just let me study for a while longer?! I won't take it away..."
Ling Yun was not worried that Mo Wudao would escape with the treasure, he laughed and scolded: "Then you don't eat? Or are you going to hold a tree and go out to eat?"
Mo Wudao laughed and said: "Seeing such a good baby, how can I care about eating! Let's talk about it during dinner."
"That's fine, then you can study here alone, I don't have time to waste time with you."
Ling Yun left Mo Wudao's room as soon as he left the sentence, only to hear behind him, Mo Wudao hugged the little tree, which should be called Ghost God Willow, and kept giggling.
"If what Mo Wudao said is true, then he really made a lot of money."
Ling Yun murmured to himself, looking around, he directly performed Apparatus, flew out of the Ling family's ancestral house, and burrowed into a dense forest.
He took out his cell phone and called Tang Meng.
The phone got through, and Tang Meng picked it up before it rang.
Immediately after that came Tang Meng's wailing and wolf howling: "Brother Yun, you have remembered to call me, I miss you so much..."
Ling Yun laughed and said: "You don't come here, it's only been three days since I left Qingshui! How are you doing?"
Tang Meng knew that Ling Yun had something to do with him, so he hurriedly said: "Everything in Qingshui City is normal, but I am so busy every day, and the main reason is that you are not here, I am boring by myself!"
After Ling Yun left, Tang Meng fully controlled the power of the Tiandi Group. Even with the support of outstanding talents like Chen Jiantao and Qian Ruhai, he still felt powerless. His daily life was tense and busy, but he lacked a lot of charm and fun.
Or a lot less stimulation.
Ling Yun could understand Tang Meng's mood, and he said silently: "You manage the Tiandi Group well first, and wait until everything is on the right track."
After persuading Tang Meng, Ling Yun finally got down to business.
"Tang Meng, listen carefully. Tell Ah Bing to tell Li Yi, Jiao Fei, and the three snipers to come to the capital within two days, tomorrow at the latest."
The Ling family will worship their ancestors the day after tomorrow, and Ling Yun is going to attack Ling Hao.
On the day of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, he wanted to expose all the fact that Ling Hao had sent people to assassinate him in front of everyone in the Ling family, and conduct a three-headed confrontation!
Li Yi, Jiao Fei, the three snipers, plus Xiao Meimei, Chen Sen, the black three, and the surveillance video brought back from Xu Bingyan's Internet cafe, and the check that Ling Hao gave to Chen Sen...
All these witnesses and physical evidence add up, even if Ling Hao doesn't admit it!
"Okay, Brother Yun, then I'll let them go there today, but after they go, where will they live?"
Ling Yun thought for a while and said, "Tell them, let them all go to the courtyard where I live."
"Okay, I see Brother Yun, is there anything else? Hello? Hello?...Damn, just hang up on me..."
After Ling Yun finished his business, he immediately hung up the phone.
"Ling Hao, it's time for our brothers to settle their accounts!"
Ling Yun's face showed murderous intent.
