It was said that Huang Mao was good, but it became the fairy's white moonlight

Chapter 457: Evil is Evil (Two in One)

Chihu requested for a few more days so that they could send more manpower and spend more time to expand the search range.

I think I can find the foundation-building cultivator that Gao Zhaodi needs.

however……

"I can't wait any longer. If all else fails, I'll just find someone with a weaker background."

Gao Zhaodi, however, stood with her hands behind her back and coldly rejected her subordinates' proposal.

She couldn't wait that long, not even a moment.

Now that her attacks have become frequent, she urgently needs to find a few foundation-building monks to relieve her pain.

Yes, relieve the pain.

The pain brought by the exquisite heart.

At the beginning, she thought she had found the most convenient way to open Linglong Heart - devouring the spiritual power and even spiritual roots of other cultivators.

For this reason, during the rebellion three years ago, she devoured the true essence and spiritual roots of all the foundation-building predecessors of her fellow disciples in the Guazhou City branch, except Xu Qingzhao.

The process went very smoothly, just as she expected. In the end, she not only successfully opened the Three Apertures Linglong Heart, but also successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And because of such an achievement, she was delighted at the same time...

I couldn't help but laugh at those senior cultivators who had exquisite minds. How could they not discover such a simple way to gain enlightenment?
However, it turned out that she was wrong, very wrong.

It’s not that our predecessors didn’t discover this, but they knew that this method had huge side effects.

Even devouring spiritual power and spiritual roots is simply a crooked way of doing things.

Although this can indeed help open more acupoints in the Linglong Heart, it will result in huge sequelae.

It is difficult to integrate the absorbed spiritual power with one's own spiritual power. Even if it is forcibly integrated, an unstable move may easily lead to a state of spiritual energy runaway.

The spiritual roots she devoured would backfire on her body, causing her to endure some kind of bone-eating pain every once in a while.

Of course, all of this was originally under Linglongxin's powerful suppression and was not exposed.

However... although Linglong Heart can suppress these side effects, it also requires constant consumption of energy.

This meant that in order for Linglongxin to suppress the bone-eating pain, she had to devour the spiritual power and spiritual roots of more cultivators again.

But after devouring more spiritual power and spiritual roots, the sequelae became more serious, and more powerful suppression was needed...

This is equivalent to falling into a vicious circle.

However, even though she knew that this was a vicious cycle, Gao Zhaodi still planned to continue devouring the spiritual power and spiritual roots of others.

It was not for any other reason, but because the pain she had been feeling in her body for some time had reached a point where she could no longer suppress it.

It was a pain that penetrated deep into my bones, no, deep into my soul. If I didn't suppress it, I would probably have a mental breakdown.

It's like being addicted. Even though you know it's wrong, you have to continue.

Her words also made Chihu think deeply for a while, and then he shook his head:

“To answer the leader’s question, there are probably no people with weak backgrounds. Now the entire Liang Country is under the influence of the Biluo Sect.

The foundation-building cultivators among them are more or less involved with Biluo Zhongzong..."

As soon as Chihu finished speaking, the scholar also hurriedly persuaded:

“Yes, these foundation-building cultivators are basically from the Biluo Sect. If you really want to attack them, I’m afraid it will anger the Biluo Sect.

You know, three years ago, Xu Qingzhao robbed and killed their Biluo Sect monks, which made them very angry. They even threatened to send people to wipe us out.

It was just that they didn't know where we were hiding and didn't want to go into a full-scale war with my Yinkui faction, so in the end it ended up in nothing.

But if you kill a few more of their foundation-building monks this time, I'm afraid we'll really fall out completely."

What the scholar said makes sense.

Although the Yinkui Sect and the Biluo Sect are hostile forces, in reality their strengths are similar and neither can do anything to the other, so naturally they do not want to start a full-scale war.

This is just like the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in Han Mo's previous life. On the surface, it seems that the two sides are against each other in everything, but in fact, they are wary of each other and dare not really start a war.

But everything has a bottom line. On weekdays, they robbed the Biluo Sect's caravans in Liang Country and killed a few mortals.

If they really angered the Biluo Sect, there was a chance that they would target their Guazhou City branch.

"So what if it's the Biluo Sect? Just choose one. I'll take care of any consequences."

However, after hearing the scholar's words, Gao Zhaodi looked at him indifferently, without any wavering expression on her face.

The firelight in the house reflected in her pupils, but she could not feel any warmth.

Under the strong pressure of the other party's cold and ruthless eyes, the scholar lowered his head quickly, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"In the entire Liang Kingdom, the only foundation-building cultivator who is easy to obtain and seemingly has no connection with the Biluo Sect is probably the Liang Kingdom's National Master - Yuwen Tuobei.

This person claimed to be a casual cultivator, but in fact he was an eye and spy planted by Biluo in Liang State. Even the King of Liang himself was kept in the dark about this matter.

If we take action against him, at least it won't be so troublesome in the eyes of the authorities."

After all, the scholar was good at intelligence work and was a think tank, so he quickly recommended a victim to Gao Zhaodi.

Gao Zhaodi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then it's him."

"Then the time will be set on the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is said that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuwen Tuobei will go to the east of Yongzhou City to offer sacrifices. It is not far from the outskirts of the city, which is convenient for us to take action..."

This finalized the matter, and the two of them stopped talking.

After a long silence, Gao Zhaodi suddenly spoke:

"Brother, do you think what I did is evil?"

Scholar: "???"

……

……

"Of course it counts. Evil is evil. No matter what the reason or motivation is, it cannot change the fact that evil has been done."

On the night before Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Mo was reading in his room as usual.

However, because I read some interesting content, I couldn't help but chat with Chihu, and some arguments came up.

This is a history book of the Liang Kingdom, recording the deeds of Xu Mengde, the founder of the Liang Kingdom.

When Xu Mengde was young, the Western Liang region was in chaos. The court of Wei, the predecessor of Liang, was controlled by treacherous prime ministers, and the people were living in misery.

In order to resist the treacherous prime minister, Xu Mengde raised an army in Guazhou and formed an alliance with the eighteen princes to jointly attack the treacherous prime minister.

A year ago, Xu Mengde's retired father returned to his hometown in Ganzhou and lived a leisurely retirement life.

As Xu Mengde swore an oath in Guazhou to attack the treacherous prime minister, his father was afraid of being implicated, so he took several carts of gold and silver, as well as his most beloved children, wives and concubines, and ran away from his hometown, intending to join his son.

As a result, when they arrived in Yongzhou, Yongzhou Mu Cao Gongzu saw that Xu's father and his entourage had few guards. In order to please Xu Mengde, he sent his subordinates to escort his father. Unexpectedly, the subordinates saw the money and killed people for money when they reached the wilderness.

Afterwards, Cao Gongzu naturally became angry with Xu Mengde, who, in a rage, led his troops to massacre Yongzhou.

Chi Hu happened to be nearby, and when he heard Han Mo read this, he couldn't help but sigh: Cao Gongzu is really unlucky.

However, Han Mo said that this was the retribution for his evil deeds.

Hearing Han Mo say this, Chi Hu was naturally puzzled. Isn't this just pure scapegoating? How can it be called retribution?

So Han Mo said these words.

Because in his opinion, no matter what this person's motives were, it could not change the fact that he ended up doing something bad.

However, for some reason, after Han Mo said this, Chi Hu was obviously silent for a while.

"Chihu, why are you silent?"

"I don't quite understand, but whatever the young master says is what it is!"

"Why do you seem a little unhappy?" "No, you are overthinking it."

Considering Chihu's honest character, Han Mo did not continue the topic, and quickly asked a frequently asked question:
"Chihu, where's your sister?"

"Busy."

"What are you busy with?"

"Busy with something important."

"What's so important?"

"It's a very important matter."

"What's the important thing?"

"It's just something important."

Han Mo: "..."

After a round of conversation, the topic came back to the same place, leaving Han Mo speechless.

However, he had long been accustomed to it.

In the past three years, he could only see his sister a few times a month, and every time he asked Chihu, he got the same formulaic answer.

"Chihu, tell me the truth, are you unwilling to tell me what your sister is doing?"

Finally, Han Mo couldn't help but ask.

"Young Master, you are still young and don't understand many things."

Chihu did not give a direct answer, but these words were a tacit acknowledgement.

Yes, Han Mo is still young.

This is also the biggest problem Han Mo faces when he comes to this dream world.

He is still a child and many things are difficult for him to do.

Even if I asked about Gao Zhaodi's whereabouts, the other party refused to tell me?
Alas, I thought Gao Zhaodi agreed to spend Mid-Autumn Festival with me, but in the end, it’s still like this!

Thinking of this, Han Mo couldn't help feeling discouraged.

He has tried his best to find a way to change Gao Zhaodi.

However, nowadays, he has very few opportunities to get close to Gao Zhaodi.

Is it that the adopted brother is not as good as the biological brother, or is it that after becoming the leader of the demon sect in recent years, Gao Zhaodi has become indifferent to family affection?
Han Mo didn't know, but that was when he felt a little lost.

Chihu beside him suddenly patted his shoulder:

"Young Master, it's getting late, shall we go out?"

"Go out, where to?" Han Mo was stunned.

"Go and admire the moon."

"Why enjoy the moon?"

"The leader asked me to do this. He wanted me to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you. You ate the mooncake just now, so naturally you have to go and enjoy the moon."

"Even so, isn't it Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, and isn't it tomorrow that we can enjoy the moon?"

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'The moon is fullest on the 14th day of the 15th month?'"

"Hey, Chihu, that's not right, don't lie to me, shouldn't the moon be full on the 16th?

Wait...what are you doing, don't push me!"

In this way, Han Mo was pushed by Chihu and came to the courtyard. Then Chihu picked up Han Mo and jumped up and landed on the roof.

The night sky is full of stars and the moonlight is like a dream.

The two of them sat on the tiles on the roof, admiring the moon and chatting.

And on a tall building not far away, a figure with snow-white skin but dressed in black stood quietly on the roof, staring silently at the two people below.

Originally, Gao Zhaodi would practice at night, but this night, she stood silently on the tall building, watching the moon with Han Mo from afar.

"Sister, can you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me, please~"

"Sister, will you make mooncakes for me during the Mid-Autumn Festival and accompany me to admire the moon?"

The conversation from the past few days flashed through my mind.

A rare hint of gentleness appeared on Gao Zhaodi's cold and hard face.

But this tenderness was soon replaced by pain.

But even so, she still stayed in the high building, silently fulfilling her promise.

From then on, whenever Han Mo came out to admire the moon, she would stop what she was doing and come here quietly to wait.

……

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although they watched the moon very late last night, Han Mo still got up early.

It was because he was woken up by Chihu early this morning, saying that his sister was free today and wanted to take him to Yongzhou City for a stroll, and have a reunion dinner in a restaurant in the city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Han Mo was naturally very confused about this.

You know, yesterday Chihu said that his sister was busy and asked him to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her.

But today the other party suddenly said that he was free and wanted to take him into the city to play?

This was obviously a bit sudden.

Besides, if they really wanted to go into the city to play, why not play in the familiar Guazhou City, but instead travel all the way to Yongzhou City, the capital of Liang State?

Han Mo was a little suspicious for a moment, and his vigilance reminded him that there seemed to be something wrong.

But Han Mo didn't believe that Gao Zhaodi would do anything bad to him.

In that case, let’s go and take a look!
Of course, I couldn’t help feeling happy that my cheap sister agreed to go out and play with me.

If he could seize this opportunity, perhaps his plan to make his sister "turn over a new leaf" could be shortened a lot of time.

Han Mo muttered to himself.

But soon he felt that it was too inconvenient for him to act in such a childish manner.

There was no way. After coming to this dream world, his body turned back into that of a child, and he also needed to play the role of a child for the main storyline.

But Han Mo is actually very old.

After two lives, Han Mo is almost forty years old. In addition, he has been experiencing the secular world for twenty years, and now another six years have passed.

Judging from his age, Han Mo is not much different from those Jindan cultivators.

Oh, time flies by so fast!
Just as Han Mo was sighing in his heart, Chihu brought over a new set of clothes.

This is a red autumn outfit with a festive feel.

The size was just right for his eleven-year-old age, neither too big nor too small, but perhaps because Gao Chao was afraid that he would catch a cold, he made the jacket thicker and also gave him a bright red hat.

This also made Han Mo look round and plump after putting it on, which combined with his pure and childish face, made him look extremely cute.

After Han Mo changed his clothes and walked out of the room swaying like a ball, he soon saw Gao Zhaodi, who had been waiting for a long time, at the door:
"Sister~!"

Han Mo suddenly shouted loudly, thinking about the next plan in his mind, but his tone was filled with joy, and he threw himself directly into Gao Zhaodi's arms.

"Sister, are we going to Yongzhou City to play today?"

Han Mo asked with some innocence, squeezing out half of his head from under the towering and steep mountain of Gao Zhaodi.
