Chapter 598 The truth, secret message
Lin Mo's eyes were blurred, as if he was pulled by a mysterious force and instantly merged into the other person's memory.
"Brother, when will this kind of life end?"
In the picture, "Lin Mo", still in the body of a child, is watching the foreigners looting, burning, killing and plundering in front of him.
Her little face flushed red, her eyes were full of grief and helplessness, and she asked with her fists clenched tightly.
"Shuisheng, as long as we unite as one, I believe that one day, these damn foreigners will be driven out of China by us!"
The brother next to him shook his hand vigorously, his eyes firm and he spoke decisively.
"Ok!"
"Lin Mo" nodded vigorously, with hope glittering in his eyes.
He has always believed unconditionally in what his brother said.
The scene changes to the young Lin Mo, who respectfully worships an unremarkable middle-aged man as his teacher.
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Shuisheng, you are admitted to my tribute school today, and you will follow me to learn tribute skills in the future!
However, this tribute technique cannot be accomplished overnight. It takes several years or even more than ten years to achieve some success.
The path of cultivation is hard, are you willing?"
"Lin Mo" nodded without hesitation, his eyes revealing stubbornness and determination.
"I am willing!"
After practicing with the middle-aged man in the mountains for several years, "Lin Mo" slept in the open air, practiced hard day and night, and finally made some progress in the art.
So, at the suggestion of the middle-aged man, "Lin Mo" decided to go down the mountain to gain experience and venture into the outside world...
Later, he returned to his hometown after a long absence.
As soon as he set foot on that familiar land, a shocking piece of news reached his ears like thunder.
My cousin Zhao Sanduo actually joined a folk organization called Pagoda Cult.
This cult used the slogan "Support the Qing and destroy the foreigners" to oppose the invasion of foreign powers.
Today, my cousin has become an important figure in the Pagoda religion and one of the core figures respected by everyone.
Later, he returned to his hometown and learned that his cousin Zhao Sanduo had joined a folk organization - Pagoda Sect.
"Lin Mo" chose to go to his cousin without hesitation.
Gradually, he began to gain fame.
However, the Qing government always wavered in its attitude towards foreigners, like a fence-sitter.
At first, the Qing government adopted an attitude of tolerance and even support towards Pagoda religion.
In fact, those conservative officials all have their own plans in mind.
They hoped to weaken the influence of foreign powers through the power of Pagoda religion and thereby maintain the rule of the Qing court.
But the good times did not last long. With the rapid development of Pagoda religion, its influence continued to grow like a snowball, and the Qing court gradually realized that this grassroots force might get out of control.
Once out of control, Pagoda cult will become a huge hidden danger threatening their rule.
It's like a time bomb that may explode at any time!
Therefore, the Qing government did not hesitate to unite with the foreign powers and launched a frenzied suppression of Pagoda religion.
Under the powerful offensive formed by the encirclement and suppression by government soldiers, the artillery of foreigners, and the joint suppression by some famous and upright sects, the Pagoda Church was like a candle in the wind and soon fell apart.
The leader of the Pagoda Cult, Bai Tiangang, was besieged and hunted by the righteous and eventually died with hatred in his heart.
As one of the leaders, Zhao Sanduo naturally could not escape death.
However, he was meticulous and prepared for the worst, and had long anticipated that the Qing court was unreliable.
A long time ago, he privately told his cousin Zhao Shuisheng to leave as soon as possible to leave some incense for the Zhao family, otherwise he would surely encounter an accident.
Zhao Shuisheng was also very obedient. He left the Pagoda Sect and traveled to Southeast Asia.
After arriving in Southeast Asia, he changed his name to "Master Banren".
With his superb and fear-inspiring tribute skills, he made a great name for himself in the Southeast Asian region.
For a time, Zhao Shuisheng became famous and became a respected figure in Nanyang.
Not long ago, a senior official of the National Government started doing business with Zhao Shuisheng.
This matter is of great importance, involving huge interests and complex political relations.
Zhao Shuisheng was well aware of the importance of this matter. After much deliberation, he sent his favorite disciple Shang Zhi to China to manage the relevant affairs.
Shang Zhi is smart and thoughtful. He is loyal to Zhao Shuisheng and has the latter's trust.
Zhao Shuisheng was fully confident that with Shang Zhi's abilities, he would be able to successfully complete this task and open up a new situation for his power in China.
So he sent his favorite disciple Shang Zhi to Huaxia to manage it.
Shang Zhi is smart and has won Zhao Shuisheng's trust. He thought Shang Zhi could complete the task smoothly.
But he didn't expect that not long after, a piece of bad news came like a bolt from the blue - Shang Zhi was murdered!
After learning the news, Zhao Shuisheng was very angry and decided to come to China in person.
He wanted to avenge his beloved disciple, but his search was fruitless and he could not find any trace of the murderer.
Some time ago, that big shot of the Nationalist government found him again, hoping that he could help solve a problem.
Zhao Shuisheng thought it was just a small matter, so he didn't think much about it and agreed directly.
In his opinion, killing an ordinary person was effortless and as easy as crushing an ant.
He would naturally be happy to do so as this would make the other party owe him a favor.
But I didn't expect that this would be the most wrong decision I made in my life!
After a while.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes.
It was as if I had just experienced a long dream.
At this moment, he has already seen through all the truth.
A hint of murderous intent quietly flashed across his eyes.
"Commissioner Zhao..."
Lin Mo murmured.
Soon, he thought of the adjutant Feng Ji who had come to recruit him before.
Obviously, this matter is also inextricably linked to that young master Yuan.
"If I were an ordinary person, I would have been killed by now!"
"Do you think that you can decide the life and death of others at will just because you are in a high position?"
"You messed with the wrong person!"
From Zhao Shuisheng's memory, Lin Mo learned that in order to avoid suspicion, Commissioner Zhao and he had always communicated by carrier pigeons.
So he got up and went to the back of the Buddhist hall.
In a corner, a pigeon cage was found.
In the cage, a black pigeon stood quietly.
Its feathers are shiny black and its beak is extremely sharp.
There was a hint of spirituality in his eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.
When Lin Mo reached in to grab it, the seemingly docile pigeon suddenly let out a strange cry, the sound was sharp and piercing.
Then, it pecked at Lin Mo's hand fiercely, at such a speed that people were caught off guard.
Lin Mo snorted coldly, and the aura of a true dragon suddenly emanated from his body.
It was a kind of pressure that came from the depths of the soul, as if the king had descended, causing all living things in the world to tremble!
The pigeon suddenly felt a fear from its soul.
It was so frightened that it stepped back, huddled in a corner, and trembled.
The originally lively eyes were now filled with fear.
Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled and reached out to grab the pigeon.
He gently stroked its feathers, which were soft and smooth, sliding across his fingertips.
The pigeon that had been so ferocious just now was now like a frightened quail. It was very well-behaved and dared not move at all.
Afterwards, Lin Mo returned to the Buddhist temple and found a pair of paper and pen.
Relying on his extraordinary memory and imitation ability, he began to carefully recall Zhao Shuisheng's handwriting.
His eyes were focused and the pen in his hand moved lightly across the paper.
Soon, a secret letter was written.
He stuffed the letter into a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's foot.
As the pigeon spread its wings and flew high into the distance, a smile appeared on Lin Mo's lips.
