The night sky was still dark, and many of the dark clouds had dispersed.
If you look carefully, the red color in the southern sky has also disappeared.
The fire finally went out.
But there is still a pungent smell of charcoal in the air.
"The timing of this fire is very good. If there are no accidents, there may be movement in the south."
Pu Fan hugged Lin Mo, gently caressed Lin Mo's shoulders, looked at the southern sky, coughed twice, and sighed softly.
"Coupled with the sudden appearance of the extremely pure Qianyu Realm Demon Dao, the general Taihuai River may not be at peace either."
Lin Mo on the side was a little stunned, a little confused, and more worried.
Even the sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if they were a little scared.
"Pu Fanjun...Senior Brother Pufan, what does it mean that there will be movement and there will be no peace? And what does this extremely high purity mean?" Lin Mo's voice was slightly higher in tone.
"This...please ask Senior Brother Pufan to help me clarify my doubts!" He looked at Pufan firmly.
Seeing this, Pufan sighed softly and patted Lin Mo's back with his right hand, as if to comfort him.
He has already understood it.
Lin Mo is a genius, and his talent level is even considered first-rate in Lanke Temple.
When you reach the level of a true king, you can still achieve cross-border conquests and cross-border challenges. This kind of combat power is enough to make countless people stunned.
After all, the further you reach the end of martial arts, the harder it will be to fight against the odds.
Because at this level, no one is a fool, they are all genuine geniuses.
And it is precisely because of this that Lin Mo's talent is so powerful.
But talent is talent, it does not mean worldliness, nor does it mean experience.
As for Lin Mo, he was too young, so he would sometimes act impulsively, and would be at a loss when encountering really big things. This was normal, and he, Pufan, had also come from this stage.
So it's understandable.
"Everything is foreshadowed. For example, this sudden fire burned down the Sitong Warehouse in one fell swoop. Although such a large city will not be completely shut down, it will definitely be affected a lot.
If the Black Buddhism group launches an offensive at this moment, they will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort." Pufan said in a very affirmative tone.
"If there is another Thousand Feather Realm, and the Dahuai side makes waves on the Taihuai River, it will be even more difficult for us."
After he finished speaking, he paused and looked at the huge potholes on the street in front of him.
"As for purity, it is similar to our Chi County genius evaluation. In the Qianyu Realm, the strongest one is naturally the ten immortals who are at the top, and below them are their descendants and disciples. The closer the relationship, the stronger the strength.
It is said that even for some of the Ten Immortals who do not have sect power, their parents and children are frighteningly powerful, and the realm barriers no longer exist on them."
After talking about it, Pufan looked at Lin Mo, who was frowning, smiled, and said with relief:
"Of course, this is also heard. In our opinion, we are just disciples. How can our parents and children be all strong? Even if we have experienced several great tribulations, even the great sage cannot guarantee that our children will be strong.
A powerful one, haha.”
"..." Lin Mo was speechless. He didn't expect that he would actually come up with some secret rumors that ordinary people would not know.
He also did not expect that, in Pufan's view, his clone, which was specially combined with the nine transformations of the true spirit of the Thousand Feathers Realm, would actually become some kind of extremely pure Thousand Feathers Realm Demon Dao.
Yes. No one would have thought that Hong Lian, the evil demon who was so powerful and wanted to kill someone just because someone looked at him one more time, was Lin Mo's clone.
To be precise, it's not called a clone, after all, both are him.
Relying on the characteristics of the Holy Demon Yuan Fei, the skills of the two can be transmitted over long distances, and their consciousness can also be transferred to two places. There is nothing wrong with saying that they are all themselves.
It is precisely because of this that the proof of common appearance and completely different inheritance paths can completely distinguish the two.
As for why he saved Pufan, it was just convenient.
Think of it as a tool.
If he is obedient, it will clear up another layer of suspicion for him. If he is disobedient, he can just find another time to resolve it.
To Lin Mo's delight, Pufan was so obedient that people couldn't believe it.
Not long after, Zhou Guo, Chi Chongqian and other court officials also arrived.
Several people came over and were surprised to see Pu Fan and Lin Mo standing at each other.
But he seemed to understand Pufan's temperament very well. After arriving, he just stood there quietly, looking at the two people without saying a word.
"How are the fires and injured people being handled?"
Pu Fan took back his hand on Lin Mo's shoulder, the smile on his face faded, and returned to his usual calmness, and asked aloud.
He didn't ask a few people why they didn't arrive in time just now.
If you can't beat him at first glance, who would be willing to come and kill him?
It would be better to let this matter go by tacit agreement.
Zhou Guo understood, glanced at Pu Fan and Lin Mo, and said slowly: "The fire was under control before half a stick of incense was burned. The other civilians who were killed and injured have been sent to the pharmacy in time by sergeants to take care of them."
He paused,
"During the period, there were criminals who committed crimes with the intention of causing riots and taking advantage of the situation. The bank troops patrolled and dealt with them. They also controlled the situation in a timely manner and did not cause chaos."
"In troubled times, punishments are heavy. At this time, if you still want to mess around, you will kill him directly, regardless of his status, strength, and the aftermath of the fire. You also need to come up with corresponding plans in time.
At the same time, send another round of spies to the south and report the information here immediately."
Pufan's face was calm at this time, his tone was calm, and the black and white rosary beads in his hand were turning from time to time. It could be said that it was completely different from his kind attitude just now.
A simple plan was quickly figured out.
Chi Zhongqian stood aside with his eyebrows lowered and his head lowered, but said nothing.
He seems to be the third in command in Sitong City, but compared to Zhou Guo and Pu Fan, he is far behind.
The reason is very simple. It seems that the third-in-command is only one level behind. However, at this level, the difference between the Grand Master and the True Lord is as big as clouds and mud.
He has long been accustomed to this.
What he didn't expect was that Lin Mo was fine?
After he knew that Wang Qingrong had offended the other party, he was worried. When he saw Wang Qingrong beaten half to death, he was also angry, but he was relieved after being angry.
Everything is because of the word Zhenjun Zhenjun.
In fact, when he chose this time to retreat and watch Wang Qingrong being masturbated, it was a sign of surrender.
But when a fire broke out suddenly in the warehouse in Nancheng District, he inevitably had a different thought in his mind.
This fire was caused by black Buddhism, and the losses were extremely heavy. Someone must be blamed in the end.
If you can't find anyone who is a black Buddhist, then you can only find people who are related to them.
Lin Mo happened to fit all the suspicions.
In addition, he has a strong background and is the best person to take the blame. It is conceivable that he will definitely be robbed. Who doesn't know that Pufan is a selfless person who doesn't give face to anyone.
Just at this moment...
He raised his head slightly and glanced at Lin Mo.
The selfless Pu Fan and Na Lin Mo stood very close to each other, with the distance even less than the safe distance of one meter and two meters. They were almost standing side by side.
What does this mean?
It shows that the relationship between the two is good to a certain level.
Pufan came to the door aggressively, and the two became good friends?
Look at Lin Mo at this time.
He also lowered his head. After hearing about the heavy losses, his expression was heavy and a bit sad. Occasionally, he heard Pu Fan speak and nodded from time to time.
It seems to be approving its countermeasures.
When Pufan saw it occasionally, he even responded with a smile, which was rare.
Everything shows that the two have a great relationship.
Chi Chongqing, who had no shortage of political acumen, changed his mind and finally had to sigh deeply in his heart and lower his head even lower.
Lin Mo seemed to see something in the distance, nodded slightly again, and then looked at the night sky in the distance with a deep gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
Sitong City goes south.
On the Tongnan River, on a small boat.
The boat going down the river remained smooth and steady on the river surface with occasional dark eddies.
It is said to be a small boat, but it is not small, and there are many passengers on board. The boat is sailed by an old man and a few nimble apprentices. Of course, there is also a black Buddhist believer beside it.
Now that the entire southern part of Sitong County has fallen, the Black Buddhism, except for the mass killings during the siege, only sent believers to maintain order in the rest of the territory.
Even the traffic is not controlled, which shows the strength of their confidence. Compared with Sitong City, which is waiting hard, it is completely different on Monday.
Of course, although there is no control, there are still sea arrest documents posted, and rewards are offered for the arrest of people from the imperial court and some reactionary sect figures within the territory.
It's almost like a different kind of court, except that religion comes first.
At this time, Honglian, or Lin Mo, was wearing a white gown, her crazy red hair was tied up with a jade crown, and she looked calm, like a scholar.
Of course, this is ignoring the wild hair color.
"Uh... Sir, I'm looking at Sitong City..." Si Jing glanced at the person next to him out of the corner of his eye, then quickly lowered his head and looked away.
Three days have passed since the Sitongcheng fire that night.
When Hong Lian left that night, he took him with him along the way, thus saving his life.
Afterwards, he wanted to leave, but he couldn't figure out the thoughts of the people around him, so he didn't dare to make a move so far.
After all, the murderer next to him almost beat him and Lin Mo to death just because Pu Fan took another look at him. He didn't dare to bet that Black Buddhism's skin could save his own life.
"What is there to see in Sitong City? Don't you want to leave there?" Lin Mo said calmly.
"This... Sir, please stop teasing me. If it weren't for Sir, maybe Si Jing wouldn't be here." When Si Jing heard this, his heart skipped a beat, for fear that the other party would say something like,
'Since you don't want to leave, then stay here forever.'
His face immediately changed, he forced out a smile and said softly.
"You don't have to be afraid. I am a person who likes quietness and advocates stability. When I came here, I just wanted to see more, so I wanted to find someone to lead the way. That person is dead and he liked you, so I just let you come." Lin
Mo calmly said.
"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"Your Excellency, you are worrying too much. It is an honor for me to serve you." Si Jing saw that the calmer Lin Mo's tone became, the more frightened he felt in his heart, so he hurriedly whispered.
It further confirmed the identity of the person in front of him, so he calmed down and said no more words.
Lin Mo didn't speak at this time and looked into the distance.
There are not many boats on the river, but there are also quite a few.
The transportation industry is actually quite prosperous.
Coupled with the green mountains and green waters on both sides of the Tongnan River, this 'enemy-occupied area' is no different from the peaceful areas of Sitongqun.
Seeing this, Lin Mo's heart became more solemn.
Like a torrent under calm water, the calmer it is, the more it illustrates the control of Black Buddhism over this area.
This is very bad.
Does it mean that the people here are even used to the governance of Black Buddhism?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but frown slightly.
"The area here is a little different from what I imagined."
He couldn't help but sigh softly and said pointedly.
This is a rhetorical skill. When you say it again and again, the real information is not leaked at all, but it makes it easy for people to continue the conversation.
Sure enough, everything did not disappoint Lin Mo.
"To be honest, it's different from what we imagined."
At this moment, a person next to him who was also leaning on the railing and looking at the river view came over.
It's not just one person, but three people.
Two men and one woman.
The speaker was a strong and fierce man, wrapped in a strong suit, with golden snake-shaped earrings hanging from his huge earlobes. His face was rosy and he looked bold and majestic.
The other man was dressed as a scholar, with a sword at his waist. His face was as white as jade, and his facial features were average, but he had an indescribable confidence. Under his clean clothes, he looked quite extraordinary.
In fact, in these troubled times, vulnerable characters such as scholars, old people, children, and even women are generally not ordinary people.
After all, in today's world of war and chaos and gangsters running rampant, it is impossible for a person who can dress cleanly and walk appropriately without having some trump cards in his possession.
The last woman is wearing a green lotus skirt, her hair is combed into two buns, and is wrapped with green belts and bells. Her facial features are exquisite, but she looks young.
As soon as I arrived, I looked around. I was dressed in a cute new style. I dared to go out for a walk, and I could see that my family background was extraordinary.
The fierce man looked at Lin Mo and continued:
"Before I arrived in Sitong County, I often heard how the Black Buddhism massacred the city and built the crown of the capital. But what I didn't expect was that when I came here, everything was managed so well.
Not to mention anything else, the abolition of various miscellaneous taxes, the redistribution of land, the public teaching of martial arts, and the establishment of black Buddhist classes are enough to illustrate its ambition and its difference from ordinary cults.
This is a real attempt to change the government!"
"Abolition of various miscellaneous taxes, redistribution of land, and public teaching of martial arts, what's so different about this? As far as I know, isn't this the same in the Great Zhou Dynasty recently?"
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and said subconsciously.
He did not have a good impression of black Buddhism.
Whether it is the Baoguang Temple in Huaiping City, the Roshan Mountain, or the endless pursuit of trouble afterward, it all shows that it is not a good thing.
After all, the methods of recklessly using any kind of seeds, taking human lives, and refining Baiyunwei cannot be said to be positive.
However, this fierce man seemed to have been brainwashed by black Buddhism. When he saw Lin Mo, he felt emotional and thought he was a member of the same religion, so he came to his door.
"I know what you said. It is true that the Great Zhou Dynasty has implemented many measures before, such as rebuilding spiritual fields, issuing military orders, etc. The intention is good, but do you know where it is actually implemented?"
The fierce man asked.
Before Lin Mo could answer, he answered on his own, stretched out his index finger, and then pointed upward.
