The founder of all religions

Late at night, Jianghai Courtyard.

This is one of the most luxurious courtyards in Longyuan Mansion, covering an area of ​​1,200 acres. It can be described as magnificent and splendid.

Only the Taihu stones in the yard were mined and transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and they were very valuable and expensive.

The small lake in the center of the courtyard is also built manually, taking water from the three lakes of Longhu, Changshan and Boyang.

It is said that this [Lingxin Small Lake] alone cost more than one hundred thousand silver.

"Jianghai Villa... one of the top ten mansions in Longyuan Mansion. I have only seen it in Jianghu tabloids in the past."

Li Mo stood in the rockery pavilion, overlooking the scenery in the courtyard.

The bright moon hung alone, reflected in the middle of the lake. A koi with silver scales and a black back jumped out of the water, causing ripples to spread, and the ripples crushed the moon shadow.

"The world is like this. Ordinary people can only see the world in tabloids, but now you can experience it for yourself."

Chen Wangdu looked at the burning stove and opened the lid of the silver pot with his hands. White steam rose and the boiling tea sizzled.

"Sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

At that time, he saw in the tabloids the so-called "Top Ten Luxury Houses in Longyuan Mansion", who was only about thirteen or fourteen years old.

At that time, the people in the mountains were so poor that they had not even become jailers yet. They ate coarse grains every day, with only a bit of meat every now and then, and it was still some offal meat.

But the wealthy children of Longyuan Mansion can live in such a mansion, with servants coming and going, and no shabby contact. The money squandered every day can buy the lives of many poor people.

Now, Li Mo can stand in this mansion, climb the mountain and look far away, feeling like a guest or a host.

"This house is considered the property of Xuantian Pavilion. This time I came to preside over the assessment and found it suitable, so I will stay here temporarily."

"No wonder, it turned out to be Xuantian Pavilion's handiwork, and I thought it was the property of the Lin family." Li Mo said with a smile.

He was not familiar with Longyuan Mansion, but he only knew that the Lin family was a well-known gatekeeper of Longyuan Mansion, and its properties were worthless. It could be said that the family's wealth was huge and involved in all walks of life.

Even the largest fireworks place in Longyuan Mansion [Jingjue Ancient Building] mentioned by Feng Wannian before was owned by the Lin family.

"The Lin family? A small local tycoon... Even if they have the strength, they don't have the guts to build such a manor compound." Chen Wangdu said with a smile.

Even if you have the wealth of an enemy country, if you show off your wealth too much, dare to show off your wealth and extravagance, and spend your money... the court has a major crime specially tailored for these wealthy businessmen.

This great sin is called transgression.

Everything in nature has its own place. If it is not placed correctly, it can only return to heaven and earth.

No matter you are rich, powerful, or powerful, if you can't play according to my rules, then you should stop playing.

This is the law of the imperial court.

This is the majesty of imperial power.

"No wonder." Li Mo looked surprised.

Among the top ten luxury houses in Longyuan Mansion, the Lin family's [Kushan Villa] is also ranked third. It cannot be compared with [Jianghai Villa] in terms of land area, scale, etc.

"Senior, didn't you say that once you become a Xuantian Pavilion disciple, you will be provided with food and accommodation if you enter the capital?"

Li Mo turned around, his eyes were shining, and he suddenly asked: "Can I get an apartment?"

"Young people live a clear life and know that a house means a home." Chen Wangdu smiled, raised his teacup, and blew in the hot air: "What kind of house do you want?"

"I think this set is good." Li Mo pointed to Jianghai Villa at his feet.

Pfft...

Chen Wangdu's hand shook, and the tea in his mouth almost spurted out, and he almost couldn't hold the cup steady.

"Do you know how expensive housing prices are in the capital? How much would this house be worth if moved to the capital?"

Chen Wangdu rolled his eyes, showing a strange expression.

The housing prices in the capital are almost ten times that of Longyuan Mansion.

The cost of building Jianghai Villa is already high. If it were moved to the capital, it would be sky-high.

The most important thing is that not everyone is qualified to live in such a luxurious manor.

As the old saying goes, the yin house is related to the descendants, and the yang house shows the present. People who can live in such a house are either rich or noble, and their foundation is not ordinary.

"Didn't you say that becoming a Xuantian Pavilion disciple can get a house?" Li Mo asked.

He is now considered a disciple of Xuantian Pavilion, and this is the benefit he deserves.

"It can't be this way." Chen Wangdu looked at Li Mo with a strange expression.

Even for him, the house he lives in in the capital only has two entrances and two exits, and only seven bedrooms.

"Senior, I haven't seen much of the world, so I'm asking casually. It's naturally good, and I can accept it if it's worse."

Li Mo grinned lightly and sat down in front of Chen Wangdu with a golden sword in hand.

After the Xuantian Pavilion assessment is over, he can go to the capital.

There are nine states in the world, no capital, three thousand gates, and endless monks... The capital is always the center.

There, he can see the wonders of the world... Of course, the key is to get a suite.

"Senior, did you ask me to come here just to see the scenery and drink tea?" Li Mo asked.

It stands to reason that he has already obtained the [Xuanyu Order] and has become the first person to be promoted. The next assessment has nothing to do with him.

"The assessment will begin tomorrow...According to the rules, you must attend." Chen Wangdu said suddenly.

"What?" Li Mo was stunned.

"Just observing the ceremony..." Chen Wangdu explained.

"At the opening ceremony of the examination, according to past practice, all disciples who have obtained a promotion spot before the examination must attend the ceremony and light a spiritual lamp to illuminate their colleagues and set an example for those who come after them."

According to the old rules, for the Xuantian Pavilion's opening ceremony, a high platform will be set up, with spiritual lamps lit, embroidered with red silk, and a green gauze curtain guarding the center. Those who get the "Xuan Yu Order" first will enter to watch the ceremony.

To put it bluntly, it is to serve as a model to inspire all the demon hunters who participated in the assessment, and let them see that there are people who have obtained the Mysterious Jade Order without taking part in the assessment, and they are above them, accepting their attention and watching their assessment.

In this way, all the monster hunters participating in the assessment will naturally be inspired with great ambitions and work hard to achieve their goals.

"This is asking me to help the fire." Li Mo curled his lips.

Nowadays, all kinds of rumors about [The Bathing Emperor] have already spread a lot. This name has been criticized by everyone and everyone is paying attention.

If they were to attend the ceremony again and watch the geniuses from all over the world compete on the same stage with the attitude of a winner, it would be able to inspire their fighting spirit.

But these rebellious people may all want to pull him down from the altar.

"What? Are you scared?" Chen Wangdu smiled and said, "You are much better than the last time we met."

Chen Wangdu's focused gaze swept over Li Mo.

When we met that day, Li Mo was only in the four-inch realm, but now he has the cultivation level of the seven-inch realm.

"I'm just afraid that they will be irritated." Li Mo said calmly.

"Hahaha... so crazy and considerate, but so proud and so low-key."

Chen Wangdu couldn't help but raise his head and laugh. The more he looked at Li Mo, the more he liked him.

"senior……"

Li Mo stood up slowly and drank all the tea in the cup.

"Tomorrow, I will go and see how good the talented people of Longyuan Mansion are."

After the words fell, the tea cup was already placed on the table. Li Mo rose up like an eagle, turned into a black shadow, rushed down the mountain, and disappeared into the vast night.

"As fast as thunder, his lightning skills have improved again."

Chen Wangdu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes.

He is a master of the nine-inch realm. It can be seen naturally that just now Li Mo's body skills were soaring and domineering, reaching the peak of strength. He clearly transferred the power of the five thunders into his inner breath, thereby activating his flesh and blood. Only then did he have such a Speed ​​and power.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this kind of movement, if a Nine Furnace Demon Ghost like Crow Chitose stood in front of Li Mo now, he would be killed by a collision.

"Uncle Master, why don't you ask him about the Longfenghuan Bathhouse?"

At this moment, Long Jianfei approached the pavilion and looked at the direction in which Li Mo was leaving. A deep fear flashed in his condensed eyes.

Li Mo's strength was certainly terrifying, but what frightened him even more was the opponent's progress, which was too fast.

Every time they meet, Long Jianfei can feel the earth-shaking changes in Li Mo, which can be described as reborn.

Especially this time, he was clearly a hundred steps away, but he could feel that Li Mo's powerful aura had already locked him firmly. It is no exaggeration to say that the other party could move a hundred steps away with just a thought. It would kill him.

This kind of life-and-death power was something I had never felt last time.

"As you can see, what's really great about him is not his cultivation at such a young age...but his almost endless potential..."

Chen Wangdu couldn't help but sigh. Over the years, he had seen many young people who were more powerful than Li Mo, but he was the only one who could grow at such a terrifying speed.

"He has already mastered the thunder method quite well. It is much more powerful than last time." Chen Wangdu's eyes darkened slightly.

"Did you see the one he was carrying on his back?"

"I saw it." Long Jianfei nodded.

A red sword with a black scabbard, a hundred steps away, the sword carried behind Li Mo still attracted Long Jianfei's eyes.

"This is not an ordinary sword... He is holding a knife, and I am using my bare hands... I am afraid that I may not be able to hold him within ten moves." Chen Wangdu said in a deep voice.

"What?" Long Jianfei's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't believe it.

This uncle of his is a great expert in the nine-inch realm. He can't defeat a fledgling boy with ten moves?

"Don't say that the incident at Longfenghuan Bathhouse may not have been done by him. Even if it was true... so what?" Chen Wangdu said calmly.

How could a Luo Jingkuang be worth as much as Li Mo?

The so-called legal rules... in the eyes of those in power are nothing compared to the words "weighing the pros and cons".

"But those rumors outside..." Long Jianfei hesitated to speak.

Nowadays, all kinds of rumors about this mysterious bathing emperor have already spread in the world. Some people even directly call him the "Qian Long Book Killer". Lin Yuntian, Luo Xiaoxiao, Shang Xujian, Luo Jingkuang... all these powerful and talented people are... It was folded into the hands of Yu Huang.

The Qianlong Book has also become the book of life and death.

Nowadays, major gambling houses have even opened betting on who will be the next victim?

"Jianfei, it's just a rumor... Rumors that are not confirmed can be regarded as false... If necessary, a group of people can be arrested... Spreading rumors to cause trouble and colluding with others... can be convicted." Chen Wangdu He said calmly.

"His Majesty Shenzong has long said that our Daqian Dynasty is..." Chen Wangdu rubbed his head: "How do you say that word?"

"A legal society!" Long Jianfei reminded.

"Yes... that's the word... How can these crazy people who spread rumors and cause trouble get away with it?"

Chen Wangdu stood up with a smile, walked to Long Jianfei and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't say these are just rumors, even if they are true...can't I still protect him?"

"Uncle Master..." Long Jianfei was stunned.

"Young man, you still have a long way to go."

Chen Wangdu sighed softly and walked out of the pavilion, leaving Long Jianfei alone, thinking for a long time.

…

The second day.

Xuantian Pavilion, martial arts field.

The banners were fluttering, the gongs and drums were roaring, and the crowds of heads showed the level of cultivation of Longyuan Mansion.

Those gathered here are all disciples from the seven major sects and major aristocratic families. According to the assessment standards, these are all three-star demon hunters, a total of 3,568.

On the high platform, representatives from major sects and prominent figures from various sects and families were all present to watch the ceremony.

Chen Wangdu, the special envoy of Xuantian Pavilion, Lu Wangsheng, the head of Longyuan Palace, and Lin Shuangtong, the mistress of the Lin family... were among them.

"It's finally begun...Yu Huang...the humiliation I suffered will make you pay me back with interest."

Shang Xujian stood in the crowd, looked towards the high platform, and clenched his fists tightly.

This is his best chance to clear his name.

"The assessment has started, he should appear."

Luo Xiaoxiao murmured softly, and the heartwarming scene of being knocked away by Li Mozhen in the Shanshui Courtyard reappeared in his mind.

“Once you become famous all over the world, let’s start from here.”

Lin Yuntian took a deep breath, but he was full of enthusiasm. After sweeping the floor for many days, he already had invincible confidence.

In the corner, a cold figure stood. He was wearing a cloak and said nothing. He was clearly one of the protagonists of recent major events, Luo Jingkuang.

"Yu Huang, you should be here too."

Luo Jingkuang whispered softly, but his cold eyes were cast on the southeast corner of the high platform, the towering attic.

Dengtian Pavilion means climbing to the sky in one step.

Throughout the ages, only those who were the first to obtain the [Xuanyu Order] and were promoted without taking the exam were qualified to enter this pavilion and participate in the exam opening ceremony.

This is an honor and a symbol.

Red silk satin floated, a spiritual lamp hanging in front of the attic suddenly lit up, and a faint fragrance instantly filled the entire martial arts arena.

"The spiritual lamp is on... the Bath Emperor is indeed here."

At this moment, the entire martial arts arena was boiling with excitement, and everyone's eyes were turned to the towering Dengtian Pavilion.

In a trance, a figure appeared in the pavilion, looming.

Lin Yuntian, Luo Xiaoxiao, Shang Xujian, Luo Jingkuang...the eyes of these proud men bloomed with brilliance, looking forward to the true appearance of the mysterious figure.

However, they were disappointed. For a ceremony, it was not enough for the Bathing Emperor to appear.

"Everyone..."

Just when everyone was disappointed, a scornful voice came from the Dengtian Pavilion, so much so that even the big guys on the high platform couldn't help but look sideways.

"Have fun, I'll be waiting for you up there."

Just one sentence caused the entire martial arts arena to explode.

Two chapters in one! ! !
