In the fifty-second year of Qi Guang's reign in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was the beginning of August, the beginning of autumn.
The leader of the Shensu Sect, the Red Dan Shen Hou Zhou Chengming, disappeared for half a month. Led by Feng Yi and the Shensu Sect, they launched a black and white search. For a while, the whole world was in panic, but the search was fruitless.
Soon after, there were rumors in the world that Zhou Chengming, the Red Dan God Hou, was tabooed by the state shepherd Chen Tianxi because of his investigation into the previous "Land and Shanghai Sacrifice", and was later assassinated.
The state pastoral office has not come forward to clarify, but within a few days, rumors have been rampant.
A few days later, Qi Qi Guang, one of the four great gods of the Shenzhou Sect, Wu Wuqing, was appointed as the acting sect leader, and thoroughly investigated the cases of "The Disappearance of the Divine Marquis", "The Sacrifice on Land and Sea", and "The Destruction of the Zhou Sheng Yin Army and the Sirius Army".
After a thorough investigation for half a month, but with no results, I returned in despair. However, the next day, in Wangjing, a series of angels were sent, carrying twelve gold medals, and summoned the prefectural pastor Chen Tianxi to return to the capital to report on his work.
For a time, the Yizhou political arena and the military were all shaken, and unrest spread everywhere, leading to frequent vendettas in the world.
But at the last moment, Shuhou Xiang Qisheng, governor of the three states Zhou Xiaojue, and Zhou Shengjun's general left general Yuan Xiaoye came together to integrate military and political affairs and suppress the turmoil.
The chaos ended.
Yin River Valley, Yin River Shrine.
Wow.
Lin Mo gently let go of his hand, letting the golden letter paper fly and scatter in the wind, like fluttering butterflies.
Finally, it flew more than ten feet away, was penetrated by several snake-like branches, and was shattered into slag.
"I saw him building a tall building, I saw him entertaining guests, I saw his building collapse..." He sighed softly, tapped his toes, and his whole body turned into a black shadow and jumped away from the huge worry-free tree.
He planted the worry-free tree on the middle peak, which is the center of the Yin River Shrine.
After he used the Dongji Qinghua Immortality Sutra to stimulate its growth, it grew very quickly. In just a month and a half, it began to take shape.
Although it cannot be compared with the mother tree of Longyun Mountain in the Tai'a Mountains, it is also considered a forbidden area for the Great True Monarch, and even the great sage warriors of Chao Youshi and Chao Chiming Realm.
At this time, the original black palace on the main peak has not been dismantled and is still in use.
There are just a dozen more dark pavilions.
The pavilion has a three-story design, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The wide top part is in the shape of an inverted sea bowl with a hollow design.
There are constantly dark birds flying into the pavilion from the outside world and flying out quickly, making chirping sounds.
This is the Black Hand Building Intelligence Pavilion, which is considered the most critical place in the building.
After the integration of the entire Chongxi Road Black Hand Building, the branch buildings were not cancelled, but another main building was set up in the Yinhe Shrine.
It shoots out like a launch source, connects with other sub-buildings, and controls the entire Chongxi Road like a spider web.
At this time, in the pavilion, gangster killers dressed in black and wearing masks were constantly walking back and forth, walking in a hurry.
Occasionally, a killer with good martial arts skills and amazing eyesight would notice a dark shadow flashing past. After his expression changed slightly, he would immediately stop and bow his head in respect.
This move naturally attracted the attention of other killers.
Although they didn't know why, they realized something when they saw their comrades lowering their heads and bending over, and then they quickly bent down as well.
After a while, the collective salute of attention was paid.
Lin Mo didn't pay much attention to him. He was like a wisp of black smoke, floating to the center of the shrine in an instant.
The shrine only has one floor, but the floor height is extremely high, even half higher than the other three-story pavilions.
The top is a black pointed dome, which shines like a boundless starry sky under the sunlight.
Behind the palace is a cliff protruding outward.
There is a huge pine tree more than 20 meters high on it. The tree canopy is like an umbrella, the leaves are jasper, and a large shade hangs down.
Under the tree is a flat and smooth open space paved with white jade floor tiles.
At this time, in the open space, Blackhand Tower and some of the senior officials of Lingtai Sect were all here.
For example, Tunan, Huogui, Zhang He and others.
In addition, among Lin Mo’s disciples, there is Monk Qingkong who is responsible for reputation management.
At this time, a group of people sat cross-legged under the big pine tree, practicing the practice of inhaling and exhaling.
This big pine is called Zhaoyuan Pine. It was given to the old man who was crying in the sky by Yao Fang. It is considered a specialty of Qianyu Realm. It has special effects of gathering vitality, making people's ears and eyesight clear, and stirring up the soul.
It is a weakened version of the Yi Miao Stone Tree, but it is also a good treasure.
On weekdays, if there is nothing happening in the Lingtai Sect and the upper levels of the Black Hand Building, they will practice here.
At this time, seeing Lin Mo arriving, several people opened their eyes.
Monk Qingkong, who was Lin Mo's disciple, stood up first and jumped up to meet him. With a flip of his hand, he took out a jade book from his back.
"Master came just in time! This is a storybook that my disciple recently came up with. Please review it and taste it, Master!" He showed respect and handed the jade book to Lin Mo with both hands.
Lin Mo showed a kind look on his face, nodded, and took the jade book.
He also has some expectations. Although his martial arts talent is not outstanding, his cheap disciple has excellent writing skills and his writing is full of flowers.
Sometimes the stories written could not help but move him even when he read them.
Lin Mozhan looked at the jade album and began to read it carefully, and soon became immersed in it.
Its general content is that Lin Mo, whose Buddhist power has reached the realm of reaching heaven and earth, made a great wish to protect all living beings and suppress all cruel demons in the world.
However, it is precisely because he made such great wishes that he fell into calamity. In the end, the demons and Buddhas became one-minded, and sometimes they became Buddhas and sometimes demons.
Once when he became a Buddha, he walked around the world barefoot, measuring the heaven and earth with his feet, and realized the misery of the world. Finally, after walking to the Golden Eagle Mountains, he met a group of ignorant juniors on the way.
The latter entered the world of martial arts for the first time and thought that his martial arts skills were sufficient, but his mind was very immature. He was deceived by the rumors in the world and thought that Lin Mo was a villain, so he wanted to do justice for heaven and become famous.
But the result was natural and he was subdued directly.
Lin Mo, who was a Buddha, certainly did not kill anyone.
The young people of the younger generation, who had experienced a life-and-death experience, were frightened and had no idea why Lin Mo would let them live, because this was inconsistent with what they knew and heard.
This leads to the real climax of the episode.
The young people asked: Mo Buddha, a demon like you kills innocents indiscriminately, bullies the weak, and does all kinds of bad things. Why do you spare our lives? Do you really think that we are afraid of death?!
Lin Mo replied: I have never killed innocent people indiscriminately, never bullied the weak, and have only done good deeds in my life. As for why I spare you, God has the virtue of a good life, and there is no limit to the sea of suffering. Once you turn around, you don't deserve to die.
The young people asked again: I will not listen, I will not listen! You are not a demon, how could the Shenquan Sect be destroyed? Why was the Mo Yunyan family exterminated? You are the biggest demon in Yizhou!
Lin Mo didn't get angry, but sighed softly: The devil you are looking for does not walk in the world, but hides in the dark, lurking in people's hearts.
After saying that, with a move of his hand, the Golden Eagle Mountain Range suddenly shook. From the depths of the mountain range, as well as from the Sirius Army at Wuthering Heights, dozens of people flew out.
Immediately the Tao transformed, the true deity appeared, and the demonic aura soared to the sky. They were all Qianyu Realm demons!
The latter looked frightened and wanted to resist and escape after appearing, but to no avail.
In the end, it was held in the palm of Lin Mo's hand and disappeared.
The young man was shocked, seemed to understand something, and wanted to continue asking.
But when he looked back, the original monk had disappeared.
Not only have their previous injuries recovered as before, but even the hidden injuries caused by previous martial arts training have been healed, and their own martial arts have also improved a lot.
As soon as the young man answered, he was immediately ashamed and left secretly.
Many people eventually became a monk due to their inner regrets and called themselves Lingtai Sect members.
After a while, I finally finished reading.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, closed the jade book, and looked at the expectant monk Qingkong in front of him, with complicated expressions in his eyes.
He originally thought that what this cheap disciple had done in Qihai was to cut off the flesh of a Buddha and feed it to butterflies, and that the script he had come up with before was already at its peak.
Unexpectedly, that is not its limit.
The storybook in Lin Mo's hand not only explained in detail the reasons why he became possessed by the devil, but also shaped his character of being compassionate, open-minded, and caring for his descendants.
The most important thing is that it also silently built up the popularity of the previous "Zhou Sheng Silver Army-Sirius Army was mysteriously destroyed" and "State Shepherd Chen Tianxi returned to Beijing with twelve gold medals".
It is conceivable that once this volume of stories is published, it will be widely spread! The benefits to his reputation are simply immeasurable!
"Qingkong, you did a good job, you are thoughtful." Lin Mo sighed softly again and stroked his back with his left hand.
The latter felt the warmth behind him, his body was trembling, his back was straightened, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak, he just shook his head.
"Can you make a name for this storybook?" Lin Mo asked, quietly injecting a burst of blood energy into him to help calm his mind and warm his body.
"My disciple has little talent and little knowledge. I haven't made a clear decision yet. I hope Master will help to clear up my confusion." Qingkong said with an embarrassed smile.
He actually had a few names in mind, but since Lin Mo asked him this, he would naturally stop being in the limelight.
"Have you not thought about it?" Lin Mo pondered for a moment, "Catching the devil with your hands and doing charity, why not call it 'Golden Eagle Mountains, Lingtai Buddha Head Discussing Demons with the Younger Generation'."
"Okay!" Monk Qingkong said loudly without thinking.
Others, such as Huo Gui, Zhang He, and others, when they heard this, although they didn't think the name was so wonderful, they still nodded hurriedly to express their approval.
"It's all your hard work, Qingkong, for the promotion of this storybook." Lin Mo smiled proudly, "I will let the human world cooperate with your actions."
"Yes." Monk Qingkong nodded in response. He naturally knew that his Buddha head had found five masters from nowhere, and separated the six paths of the spiritual platform.
Any one of them is a master capable of running rampant in the world.
With the cooperation of one of them, it is enough for him to roam freely in Yizhou.
"Buddha's head, you know that recently, there have been a lot of flaws in the Chongbei Road, and many demons from the Thousand Feather Realm have broken through?" At this time, Zhang He, seeing Lin Mo in a good mood, said softly from the side.
Among the senior members of the direct line of the Lingtai Sect, Monk Mu Xin is already quite old. He and Xiao Langao are in the prime of life, so they are naturally given important responsibilities.
As the chief steward of the Lingtai Sect, the latter handled domestic affairs very well, while he slowly began to contact the Black Hand Tower and began to accept the external affairs of the Lingtai Sect.
"Suddenly, there are many flaws? Chen Tianxi, the pastor of Zizhou, was transferred out of Yizhou. Whether it is in the martial arts world or in the court, it can be regarded as a group of monsters. I naturally know this." Lin Mo said.
He even sent someone to conduct a detailed investigation to see if he could get some luck.
However, after investigation, we found out that the number of defects was indeed high, but the duration of defects was getting shorter and shorter.
This is also the reason why he did not set out to go there, but chose to retreat in the Yin River Shrine to break the restrictions and accumulate red energy.
"In the martial arts world, there are rumors that after this battle, the autumn harvest of Chongbei Province has been deeply affected. There may not be a famine in the short term because there is surplus grain to support the dispatch, but the price of grain will inevitably rise sharply.
The most important thing is that many demons have broken through, and they may even affect the Jiudu battlefield..." Zhang He said solemnly.
"..." Lin Mo was silent. This was actually not possible. The information he got in Chi Gun roughly confirmed this guess.
Even thinking about it carefully, this matter can be connected with the previous strict order for the major guards in Wangu Forest to sell resources to private businesses.
However, what made him feel complicated was that the imperial court had expected it early and even took various countermeasures, but nothing could be done to stop it.
It seems that the outcome has been decided, and no matter how much they do, it will be in vain.
Thinking about it this way makes one feel powerless.
"Can the cause be found out? Why did this change occur?" Lin Mo asked.
"Some people speculate that the two realms are getting closer and closer, and the distance is getting shorter, leading to this change.
Some people also say that before this, a shocking monster secretly appeared in Qianyu Realm and was working behind the scenes to cause this drastic change.
What's more, this is a warning from God, a punishment for the incompetence of the imperial court, and the transfer of state pastor Chen Tianxi to leave Yizhou..." Zhang He briefly introduced. "The last point is the most widely circulated..."
"But the most credible thing is the second point. According to my subordinates' investigation, someone saw the demonic energy rising into the sky in the south of Yizhou. This is a sign of flaws in the Qianyu Realm and the arrival of a terrifying master.
But just as he was about to record it, it disappeared in a flash..." The fire ghost chuckled and spoke in a deep voice.
Although he was laughing, his voice was full of solemnity.
"No need to pay attention to it, you can just carry out your tasks and advance the progress step by step." Lin Mo's face remained unchanged and he replied in a deep voice.
"Especially you Fire Ghost, you can lead a team of people and cooperate with Tunan to take over all the Black Hand Buildings that have been discovered. I want there to be only one main building in Yizhou."
"Yes!" Huo Gui was stunned and nodded in agreement.
In the eyes of others, wanting to control the entire Yizhou Mafia Tower in one fell swoop must be a fool's errand.
But with the strength displayed by this terrifying poster now, it's really hard to say for sure.
With his power and temperament, if the mysterious owner of the real main building comes in person, Lin Mo would dare to touch him to see who the king is.
As for whether other forces will take advantage of the situation, Fire Ghost is not worried.
Before that, Lin Mo had swept through all the major sects in Chongxi Road and plundered many good things.
It even includes several major forces among the Five Sects and Seven Sects.
Those who are as strong as the latter can only surrender in the end and admit defeat.
So they have evil intentions and even take advantage of the situation? If they don't take the initiative to come and cause trouble, then that's fine.
"By the way, Master Zhang He, I intend to completely move away from Thuja Island in the Seven Seas. The manpower has been deployed and all the connections have been established. I will be on the island soon. You still need to arrange for someone to take over." Lin Mo ordered.
road.
"Leave this matter to me."
"Finally, in the Tai'a Mountains, the disciples of the sect are also prohibited from leaving the mountain unless they are the true disciple or above." Lin Mo paused.
"In addition, here in the Yin River Valley, the foot of the mountain is too clean. You have to arrange manpower to build a temple here and open the mountain gate.
This should be our Lingtai Sect’s Shanwai branch.”
"yes!"
Zhang He and other former Lingtai Sect members were stunned at first, and then overjoyed.
