It is clear that the southern part of Sitong County has fallen, but this has not affected the prosperity of this county at all.
On both sides of the long street, bright red lanterns were hung, and strings of firecrackers crackled from time to time, making the crowded and noisy streets even more lively.
After the sound of firecrackers, before the white smoke dissipated, a group of children rushed over like crazy, sticking their buttocks out, and picking up firecrackers that were not on fire.
"Mom, I want it, I want this! I want this horse!"
On the street, next to a young woman, there was a child with braids. When he passed a sideshow shop, he saw a little wooden pony painted with red paint, and he couldn't move his feet immediately.
Unfortunately, the price was very expensive and the woman was not willing to buy it.
The child seemed to have noticed his mother's thoughts, and stopped moving, the two of them were in a stalemate.
Not long after, he fell to the ground, rolled over and over, and began to cry, which made the young woman tremble with anger.
Just when the child's crying became louder.
Snap!
Two crisp sounds.
The child who was still rolling was stunned, and his crying suddenly stopped, and then he started to cry really loudly.
While crying, the young woman grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away.
"The market price of a good-quality colorful wooden horse is at least thirty taels of silver. For an ordinary family, that is half a year's expense, which is beyond the reach of ordinary children."
In a restaurant on the street, there is a side table. This is a good viewing platform. Not only are there various precious potted plants, but you can also have an unobstructed view of the street view downstairs.
The person speaking was a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a white dress with golden threads, black hair tied back, and delicate facial features, like a lady.
There is a black musk leather scabbard on the waist, which gives it a more capable air.
"If Fang Dutong invited Lin here just to talk about these things, then that would be the end of the day."
Opposite the wooden table was Lin Mo. He had been cultivating, and suddenly he received a letter of invitation. It was difficult to refuse the invitation. He was an internal affairs commander of the Sitong City General Office, in charge of the city's affairs.
To a certain extent, it represents the face of the imperial court. If the Qinglong Society wants to develop in this city, it will definitely not be able to bypass it.
But what Lin Mo didn't expect was that this Dutong was actually a woman named Wang Qingyan.
"The dignified Master of Qinglong Guild, the eminent monk who subdued the dragon, is naturally busy with affairs." After hearing this, the beautiful female official's face did not change, but her tone was somewhat ridiculing. She stretched out her chopsticks in a dignified manner and ate the food slowly.
"I just want to say that no matter how old you are, if you reach out for something that does not belong to you, you will definitely pay an unbearable price. Haha, of course, as President Lin, I don't need to say more, you should understand."
Lin Mo was thoughtful after hearing the words, as if he understood something, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.
It seems that the trouble is caused by interests.
Baiyundao, as the leader of the underground forces in Sitong City, and with the help of black Buddhism from outside, can be said to be arrogant and domineering. Even the wealthy families and the imperial court are not willing to provoke him.
Under such circumstances, he resorted to various means, destroyed his family and property along the way, and gained a lot of resource industries.
Now that Baiyundao has been destroyed, leaving such a huge vacancy, it is naturally coveted by countless forces. The imperial court is also composed of people, so it is no exception.
But this look made Lin Mo angry and funny.
A mere district commander did not dare to say a word when Bai Yundao was around. However, facing him who had defeated Bai Yundao, he dared to speak in such a weird tone.
What’s even more outrageous is that it’s clear that the Qinglong Society has given up most of the Baiyundao industry. The other party is still not satisfied!
Do you really think that he is on the right path and dare not blatantly kill people?!
"Wang Dutong will tell you what he wants to say. Why don't you stretch out your hand but not reach out? If you continue to be so secretive, you don't have to look for me anymore. I recommend you look for the Zhike monk from my sect, who is the best at interpreting fortunes." Lin Mo said with a smile.
"President Lin, there is no need to beat around the bush. Baiyundao left behind many properties, most of which came from plundering other people's property. Now that it is destroyed, it will naturally be taken back by the court and the victims will be compensated.
President Lin is a senior monk of the Lingtai Sect, so he should naturally understand the concept of karma.
Otherwise, if this matter spreads, I am afraid it will damage the good name of Lingtai Sect." Wang Qingyan frowned slightly, feeling speechless in his heart. His words had already made such obvious implications, and it was not enough. He had to put his words on the table?
You must know that Baiyundao was originally a pig raised by the senior officials of Sitong City. If it were not for the concern about its connection with black Buddhism, it would have been slaughtered and eaten long ago.
Unexpectedly, the higher-ups guessed wrongly. There was indeed a relationship between Baiyundao and Black Buddhism, but the relationship was obviously not deep. This allowed Lin Mo to take the first step and take action safely.
In other words, the Black Buddhism wanted to take action, but they were worried about the power of the Sitong City court, so they endured it, and this allowed Lin Mo to take advantage.
In her opinion, Lin Mo was powerful and well-established after all, and was qualified to obtain part of Baiyundao's legacy. However, since the Qinglong Society wanted to develop in Sitong City, it had to disperse some of its profits.
Otherwise, the plate is so big, and if you have the ability, you will eat meat. Do you really think that local forces like them are vegetarians?
Naturally, they are not vegetarians, but the Lingtai Sect is easy to bully.
Among the major forces in Huaizhou, the most arrogant and domineering one is naturally the Qianshan Sect. Because the Lingtai Sect is Buddhist and Taoist, it upholds compassion and behaves in a relatively gentle manner.
This is also the reason why Wang Qingrong dared to come to the door to negotiate.
However, she thought wrongly. She really thought that Lin Mo was from the Lingtai Sect and that he was also a good gentleman?
"Wang Dutong does not need to worry about the reputation of the Lingtai Sect. Besides, if there are any surviving family members of the victims, you might as well ask them to come to me. Since the family has been wiped out and the worldly ties have been eliminated, they can go up the mountain to eat fast and chant the Buddha's name. We, the Lingtai Sect, have many temples.
There is still a mouthful of vegetarian food." Lin Mo's expression did not change, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
"President Lin is kind-hearted." Wang Qingrong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Although Baiyundao has been destroyed by me, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net. These people are all desperadoes. One has no family and the other has no foundation. It can be
No matter what you say, it can be said to be the biggest variable and trouble today."
"What does Wang Dutong mean?" Lin Mo smiled and pretended not to understand.
"As a court, it is natural to protect the people. Now that there are remnants in Baiyundao, we will definitely lead the soldiers to seize the time to arrest them. Of course, it is inevitable to have a bad impact on some industries during this period." Wang Qingrong
explained casually.
As a court, it can be said that it is very simple to control the power in the city.
Sometimes it's okay if the law is not forbidden, but if it really comes down to it, you really can't do anything about it.
So this is a warning.
Lin Mo was stunned. He didn't understand.
Why did he defeat Baiyundao by himself, and almost destroy the Beast Sect by himself, yet the little leader across from him, whose strength was no more than the Six Fu Realm, dared to speak to him like this?
Did she really think that the imperial court's skin could protect her? Or was there any other way to rely on her?
He really doesn't understand.
"The remnants of Baiyundao... This is indeed a troublesome matter. Thank you Wang Dutong for reminding me. But when you are seeking the welfare of the people, Wang Dutong must be careful. After all, as a woman and a court official, it is difficult to protect the people of Baiyundao."
Audacious, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge..." Lin Mo said softly and slowly put down the tea cup.
Wang Qingrong was stunned, and his face turned cold for a moment, "President Lin is threatening me?!"
As he spoke, he placed his chopsticks on the table, held them up with both hands, leaned forward, and looked at Lin Mo intently, making an aggressive gesture.
Now that someone from Wangjing has come to support Huaizhou, the power of the Huaizhou court has increased so much that not even Qianshan and Lingtai sects dare to ignore it.
In addition, during this period, the situation in Sitong County was unpredictable and attracted countless attention from Huaizhou.
Under such circumstances, if she was really offended, she would directly file a report stating that Lin Mo might be a black Buddhist spy, and create some evidence. Without her continuing to take action, even if the other party had a high status and strong strength, he would still be under heavy pressure.
Leave Sitong in despair!
She wanted to see how qualified the Qinglong Club was after the other party left!
Seeing Wang Qingrong's gesture, Lin Mo became even calmer. He looked like he was looking at a stranger and stood up directly.
"I still have something to do, so I won't chat with Wang Dutong."
After saying this, he ignored her and left directly.
He didn't kill anyone in the street.
Of course, when dealing with such a powerful lunatic, revenge is natural, but it needs to be carried out secretly.
It's ridiculous to say that.
The Black Buddhism captured more than half of Sitong County, and the ambition of the wolf is obvious. The officials in this county are still thinking about fighting among themselves and trying to take advantage of the situation. They are really corrupt and deserve to die.
boom!
Hearing the sound of breaking porcelain behind him, Lin Mo felt even colder and went straight downstairs.
Wang Kui is waiting downstairs.
"Sir, why are these people from the court looking for me?" Wang Kui opened the curtain of the carriage and followed him in, asking in a low voice.
"What's going on is naturally what you think." Lin Mo smiled. "By the way, what is Wang Qingrong like? He is quite confident in what he says and does." He asked.
"Well, this person's family can only be considered average, but he has a genius. His younger brother Wang Yuanbai is a genius. It is said that he was appointed in a year. Now he is less than fifteen and is about to become a grandmaster. He is very popular with those in the Sitong court.
Appreciation,
By the way, Wang Qingrong was also adopted as his equal wife..." Wang Kui held out three fingers and said softly.
This indicates that the person above is the third in command of Sitong County.
"No wonder." Lin Mo nodded without paying much attention.
The third in command of Sitong City is only as strong as Zhenjun. As for the level of the Grand Master God Transformation, is there any difference?
As for genius, that's even more ridiculous.
At his level, he no longer cares much about potential.
No matter how top-notch a genius is, no matter how much he can conquer across borders and fight against the Grand Master, is it possible that he can still fight against the Great Grand Master and the True Lord?
He would only be interested if he could fight. Such qualifications would be the basis for his breakthrough, and the taste would be extremely delicious.
"Be careful during this period." Lin Mo said casually.
"Yes." Wang Kui nodded, and then his voice lowered a bit, "Do you need..." He said, wiping his fingers on his throat, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"You don't need to take care of this matter. I have my own opinion." Lin Mo shook his head.
The Qinglong Society is much stronger now, but there are only a few great masters who were captured by him. If he really takes action, it will be easy to leave clues.
Besides, since he told the other party to be careful about Baiyundao, he must keep his word.
And it happened that he spared Si Jing's life, so it was only natural that Si Jing would give him back his life.
Soon, the carriage returned to his mansion.
After briefly handling the affairs of this period, Lin Mo returned to the secret room.
This is a stone forest, and there is a cave underneath.
Naturally, he did not build it, but it was left by Baiyun Road and was discovered later.
There are layers and layers of Yuan stones piled up, arranged in a unique formation, creating an excellent training environment. At the same time, the space is ridiculously large.
When they discovered that there was a Baiyun Taoist practicing here, his strength was not weak and he was also in the realm of a great master. When he saw Lin Mo, he was a little surprised.
But he was not surprised for long before he was beaten to death.
A body of essence and blood can be used to fill the soul of the dead demon that is condensing.
Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the secret room, surrounded by a stream, and under the stream were pieces of primeval stones.
The creek is living water, and the sound of the rushing water not only does not make people upset, but also makes people calm.
He has been practicing here during this period.
In the sound of gurgling water, the fusion of Tathagata energy and demonic energy is going on.
As of now, it's actually almost done.
This similarity does not refer to the degree of integration between the two, but to the imminent emergence of another 'him'.
"Twin bodies, twin bodies, I want to be the leaves bathed in the sun, then you become the root in the darkness under the leaves."
Lin Mo closed his eyes, his mind fell silent inside his body, feeling his body.
He saw the endless flow of dark blood.
I saw muscle fibers made of strong steel.
I saw white bones carved with unknown patterns.
I also saw the condensed shadows of demonic hearts next to the huge heart.
Wow!
The gurgling stream continued to slap the Yuan Stone. Amidst the sound of the slap, there were faint lines of white mist rising.
That is the essence of the Yuan Stone. Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people to take it out.
slowly.
The white mist is getting thicker and thicker, and it is dense in the secret room.
Lin Mo's heart was still sinking.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the next moment.
His closed eyes suddenly opened, and the pupil of his left eye was dancing with flames, dyed with a strong red gold color, like flowing magma. His right eye was filled with deep darkness, and the pupil suddenly split, turning into three constantly rotating.
Magatama.
Lin Mo, who was originally a normal body size of two meters, began to expand as if inflated. Almost instantly, he changed from a normal body size of two meters to a dragon-like state of more than four meters.
Click, click.
The ground beneath him began to crumble.
The dark flames ignited quietly and then went out quietly. Even so, they left indelible traces on the ground.
Lin Mo straightened up slightly. His strong rock-like muscles were covered with black scales, and the unarmored parts had meridians and blood vessels swimming like small snakes.
The muscles on the back bulge high and spread out like wings, giving people a sense of great power. The originally compassionate stone Buddha on it has become ferocious and terrifying.
Snap!
The giant tail hit the ground from time to time, crushing everything and making a squeaking sound.
Lin Mo's heart palpitated, and a feeling of excitement reverberated in his heart.
Open your hands.
Groups of black flames floated in the air, and countless air currents rolled back, washing away everything around them.
He can feel it, he can feel it clearly.
Another ‘he’ is about to appear.
No, it should be said that 'he' has always been there, but now he has revealed his true face.
