At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Beside the green pool, Lin Mo came to his senses and threw the remaining fish feed in his hand into the pool.
It immediately attracted colorful fish in the water to compete for food.
He turned his head and saw a Lingtai Sect disciple appearing outside the Moon Cave Gate and said respectfully:
"Foshou, your letter is from the Shuhou Mansion."
"Bring it over."
The disciple received the order and quickly delivered the letter, and then stood aside respectfully.
Lin Mo tore it open and took out the letter paper.
The letter paper is made of gold foil, with precious bamboos and exotic flowers embossed on it, and the Chinese characters "xiang" and "flying dragons and phoenixes" are written on it as a mark. It is very luxurious.
There is also a familiar fragrance on it.
Lin Mo opened it and saw that the letter was sent to Xiaomeng by the young princess of Shuhou Mansion.
The content is a bit biased, but the general idea is very clear. It is an allusion to Wanyicheng and Wangu Forest, and there may be unrest in the near future.
If allowed, she can use her connections to transfer him to Shuyuan County. He can serve as a casualty there or as a patrol officer. He doesn't need to worry about the Seven Seas Alliance and the imperial court.
As for the fifteenth level of hell, the resources he should have will still be delivered to him on time.
Now Lin Mo holds the post of Wanyicheng Town Guard. According to his rank, he is equivalent to Zhou Shengjun being in charge of the flag, but he enjoys the treatment of deputy commander.
In Yizhou, they were already considered mid- to high-level officers and the top three leaders in a county. They were just outside the imperial court and did not have corresponding rights and establishment.
For such a position, if someone told him that he could be transferred at will, it would be bragging.
But that one was different.
As the daughter of the Marquis of Shu, her father's status is comparable to that of Chen Tianxi, the state shepherd, but he does not have that much power. However, it is still very simple to mobilize a flag envoy.
However, a person of this status also implies that something big will happen in Wanyicheng. It can also be seen from this that Lin Mo's expectation was correct.
After reading the letter, Lin Mo stuffed the letter back into the envelope and threw it into the empty stone ring.
If chaos really breaks out in Yizhou, Shuhou Mansion may indeed be a safe place.
But it could also be the beginning of great chaos, no one knows for sure.
Besides, he is not alone. He has family, wife, and followers behind him. If he really goes, in what capacity will he pass away?
He is not really stupid, so he can naturally see what the other person is thinking.
In daily transactions, everyone takes what they need and does not owe each other anything. Transferring positions like this to his family's territory seems to outsiders to be taking advantage.
It's just overstepping the bounds.
"Buddha, that person is still waiting in the lobby. As before, he has brought many gifts. Do you want to go out and see him, or...?" The disciple waiting aside remained calm and reminded him softly.
He was later selected from the new temple. His strength was not bad. He was destined to be a third-level master and a half-step master. Naturally, he heard some rumors about Lin Mo when he came here.
Like everyone else, I dare not discuss it too much.
"I'm not going to meet you anymore. Just like last time, I'll choose some gifts of equal value and send them back." Lin Mo looked at the person in front of him.
"By the way, I'll write a letter. You can take it out later and give it to Princess Xiang."
"By the way, let's send some more news to recall the disciples from Ten Thousand Bones Forest, and let the people in Shuhou Mansion control the situation." Lin Mo said suddenly, "There will be no more disciples left in Ten Thousand Bones Forest."
Since he has decided to leave the City of Bones temporarily, there is no need to keep people there.
After all, it is still too difficult to control a realm with the power of Lingtai Sect alone.
We can only rely on the power of the Shuhou Mansion. For a short period of time, it is okay for others to be here. However, for a long time, it will be very bad for them to be handed over to the boss.
It's better to exit first.
He has now completed the Four Tribulations of the Great True Lord. After returning, he will try to enter the cave and break through to the Great Sage. With the accumulation of talent beads, he will be able to achieve perfection in at most one or two years.
If necessary, it would be better to commit suicide in person than anything else.
"Yes!" The disciple nodded, but just as he was about to retreat, his steps slowed down, with a look of hesitation on his face.
"Is there anything else, Wu Jing?" Lin Mo asked with a smile. This disciple belonged to the Buddha Embryo Department and was a disciple of Nie Yun. Seriously, he was his disciple.
"There's nothing wrong, it's just the Buddha's head. Are we...are we leaving here?" Wu Jing whispered.
"Yes, the situation here is getting more and more chaotic. Instead of going outside, it is better to go to the new temple to recuperate temporarily." Lin Mo said.
As the largest mountain range in Yizhou, the Tai'a Mountain Range is vast and deep, with a vast territory and abundant resources, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Mountain beasts are everywhere among them, and even beast kings are not a few. If you really want to live in seclusion temporarily, it is actually very easy.
The only thing he needed to worry about was the terrifying beasts deep in the mountains, but Lin Mo didn't care about this.
"Obey the Buddha's head." The disciple said no more, bowed respectfully, stood up and left the courtyard.
…
Xiang Xiaomeng got on the chariot under the service of the maid.
Four fiery red giant scaly beasts and horses that were rumored to have Kirin blood snorted, and at the urging of the coachman, they pulled up the gorgeous carriage behind them, which was entirely made of ambergris wood.
Inside the carriage, there was an old man wearing a white robe and with few hairs on his head.
He was making tea leisurely and contentedly.
"I didn't even smile. It seems I didn't like it. That's not right. Our little princess looks like a human being. She is very pleasant.
He eagerly offers all kinds of gifts and offers many benefits, so why can’t he look down on them? That shouldn’t be the case.” The old man took a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed.
"He got married. It never happened. I just wanted to be friends with him. It's all your fault for asking me to write that letter!" Xiang Xiaomeng said coldly.
When she came here this time, she didn't even meet anyone, and the reply she got was all in official language:
He said that he has been taken care of during this period, but due to other reasons, he will return to Nanami.
They even handed over the area beyond Fenqiu Lake directly to their Shuhou Mansion, making it clear that contact would be reduced in the future!
"How can you blame us? Your father and I didn't ask you to write any three letters or six poems asking him to marry you... Now there is chaos in Yizhou, and the original intention of that letter was to make an alliance between the big guys.
Join forces...
But that person has his own ideas, and it’s just that he’s not close to you, girl.”
The old man put down his tea cup and sighed.
"Third Grandpa, could it be that I didn't express my meaning clearly in the letter? How about I go there again and tell him directly that we will cooperate with him and help each other like the Ten Thousand Bones Forest!
Didn't you and dad both say that he is very powerful?" Xiang Xiaomeng said suddenly.
"There is nothing that I haven't expressed clearly. This person is extremely talented and his strength is comparable to that of a great saint. How could he not understand the meaning? Girl, you are working in vain..."
The old man shook his head, "Besides, even if you really want to marry, girl, this person is not the best choice. Although talented, he is ruthless, impulsive and irritable, and does not consider the consequences.
It seems that the path of martial arts has been progressing with great success, but in reality it is like walking fast on a cliff of ten thousand feet. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss of ten thousand feet..."
Then the person in front of him didn't speak, he just stared blankly at the letter in his hand.
"Ahem." The old man turned his head and looked at the street scene outside the window, "According to the news we got, the imperial court will send many people to Yizhou soon, including many of Wangjing's real geniuses.
He is equally talented and has a profound background, you can take a look when the time comes."
However, the person in front of me still didn't reply.
The old man smiled, combed the remaining hair on his head, and looked out the window at the crowded street scene, his eyes filled with emotion.
He could really understand how his granddaughter felt.
Who is not like this when they are young? He is also like this.
"People, when they are young, most of them think that they will regret it for the rest of their lives because of things they cannot get."
"And when you get old, you will eventually be cleared up by half a lifetime. This is how life is..."
Soon, the trivial matters in Wanyicheng were settled.
From the Seven Seas Alliance, he directly responded to the message, saying that he was attacked by the killing monk last time and was seriously injured. At the same time, he was deeply aware of his own weakness. If he wanted to find another place to heal his injuries and practice, he asked the alliance to send someone else.
The reason is very reasonable.
After all, he is only the Great True Lord now, and being able to protect himself under the great sage is already considered an extremely remarkable thing. In the eyes of the world, it is impossible to escape unscathed.
As for the Shuhou Mansion, it has taken over all three realms of the fifteenth hell of Ten Thousand Bones Forest.
But a lot of resources were given.
Another person was sent to see Lin Mo again, saying that the reception this time was not for his own use, but only for trusteeship. Subsequent resources would still be allocated, but the proportion needed to be adjusted.
As long as Lin Mo agrees to help once necessary and his ability permits.
It was not the Shuhou Mansion that helped, but Xiang Xiaomeng.
It's like becoming his secret guardian when he is idle.
This is a habit that belongs to a large family. It is not like in the novels of the previous life, where they were killing everyone and being overbearing. Under normal circumstances, when they meet talented young people, they will help them, seek good luck, and play chess.
As a family's mysterious heritage, it is similar to angel investment.
Lin Mo agreed.
It was worth taking just one action in exchange for corresponding resources. Moreover, the Shuhou Mansion was very friendly towards him. To a certain extent, he was willing to maintain a normal and friendly relationship with such a big force.
Once this side of the boundary is dealt with, it's the Black Hand Tower.
The relationship between the branch buildings of Black Hand Building and the main building is vertical management.
The former regularly completes a certain amount of tasks for the latter, while the latter shares intelligence channels with the former.
After all, Yizhou is vast and Chi County is vast. It is naturally even more difficult to build intelligence channels.
Lin Mo had experienced this first-hand when he was in Qihai.
The main building of the Black Hand Building has special means to connect with branch buildings in various places to collect and share intelligence.
In this way, the branches in different places are organically connected.
In addition, the local branch buildings are actually relatively independent entities.
So after some brief thought, we discussed and communicated with Tunan, and soon decided to simply integrate the surrounding mafia buildings.
Later, the plan and feasibility of setting up another branch building near the new temple in the Tai'a Mountains were discussed.
After discussion, we came to the conclusion that it is feasible.
After the new plan came out, Lin Mo quickly led people to implement it.
Shangguan Que, an old bird, took him to visit the owners of various sub-buildings and start consultations.
Under absolute force, he unexpectedly discovered that these people were surprisingly easy to talk to.
Especially when Lin Mo said hello to the Red Gun people here through Shui Ren, after the owners of these sub-buildings asked for help in vain, they were all extremely obedient and considerate.
After simply planting the magic embryo seal, Lin Mo handed it over to Tunan to manage it.
The third stage of the Demon Fetus Curse Seal has the effect of influencing the mind as the miniature Demon Fetus develops.
But it takes time.
During this window period, these people are not qualified to enter the core and can only become the periphery.
Tunan will subcontract the task and will not have any contact with Lin Mo.
This can also be considered as a powerful way to avoid incidents such as betrayal and secret trouble.
Although the latter would most likely not cause any major damage to him, it was extremely disgusting.
He didn't want to experience it again.
It took about half a month.
As soon as the affairs were settled, Lin Mo left Wanyicheng with his people and headed for the Tai'a Mountains.
Tai'a Mountains.
The mountain range connects Yizhou and Shuzhou, crossing the boundary of Wangu Forest and the vast plains of Chongbei Road. It was originally a series of extremely majestic mountains, but now it is affected by the maximum Yangtze tide, which makes it even more wild.
Known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is located in two states.
The area is divided according to local hunters.
The Taia Mountains are divided into peripheral areas, middle areas, core areas, and deep areas.
In the peripheral areas, most of the mountain beasts are life-level ones, and a few are master beast kings. It is considered a treasure land for ordinary warriors, rangers, and even herb collectors.
As long as you are more careful, have more experience, and bring more people with you, safety can be guaranteed.
The middle zone is a lot scarier.
Grandmaster beasts are everywhere, including great master realm and even true king-level beast kings. What’s even more dangerous is that there are also many strange plants.
It may be able to swallow living creatures alive, or it may be able to emit a confusing fragrance, or it may cover the sky and the earth. To a certain extent, it is more terrifying than the beasts.
As for the core area, it is the world of the true king and the beast king.
Those who can roar in the mountains and forests are at least the terrifying beast kings of the Great True Lord, and there are many more strange plants.
Ordinary herbal collectors or explorers would rarely go here.
After all, the beast kings at this level are all very intelligent, and the rules and experiences summarized in the past are of no use in front of them.
Their rules are the rules.
If you are not careful, you will die. Very few people will gamble in the mountains.
And deep in Shiwanda Mountain, there are Shuzhou, Yizhou, and the area close to the boundary of Wangu Forest.
The place is most affected by the Yang tide, the trees are tall and green, and terrifying birds and beasts are everywhere.
There are even rumors that someone has seen a great saint-level beast god among them.
Heart palpitating.
The location of Lingtai Zongxin Temple is in the core area of Tai'a Mountains, near the middle zone.
Under Wu Jing's guidance, it took half a month for Lin Mo and others to finally arrive.
Lin Mo turned over and dismounted. He gently patted the horse's butt.
This fierce horse, which was randomly captured in the mountains and was suspected to have the blood of a dragon, suddenly neighed, disappeared into the forest, and disappeared.
Lin Mo didn't take it seriously and continued walking with the others.
Soon, along the path and through a forest, a light suddenly dawned in front of me.
Tai'a Mountains, Jingxin Valley.
He looked up at the Lingtai Sect branch temple in Yizhou.
It was a temple built in a vast open space. Its appearance was exactly the same as that of Lingtai Mountain in Huaizhou back then, but it was a few times larger.
It not only includes the Lingtai line of temples, but also includes the Cihang and Zhengyi lineages.
