The founder of all religions

Yan Zixia! !

Purple clouds rise across the sky, riding on the moon, like flying swallows coming into their dreams.

"What a good name... she is indeed the woman I like!"

There was a different kind of brilliance in Master Ji's eyes. Under the moonlight and in the dark night, that beautiful figure reunited after a long separation, in the eyes of the Prince of Zhennan, it seemed to become the most beautiful scenery in the world, especially moving.

"Girl, are you coming to the capital for fun? I will do my best to serve as a landlord."

The shadows of the trees were whirling, and the wind was whistling in the ears. Master Ji's figure was light and ghostly, following closely behind Yan Zixia.

"It seems that you come from a good family, have nothing to do all day long, and like to chase girls."

Yan Zixia squinted her eyes, glanced behind her, and wrote lightly.

"Young lady is wrong. We work together to conquer demons. We are in adversity, life and death. Such things are naturally bigger than the sky. How can we say that everything is fine all day long?"

"What's more, I am a bright person, and what I hate most in my life are frivolous and dissolute people, who play with women, so why should I chase girls?"

Master Ji's face was solemn, and his words were even more righteous.

"Don't you know how I feel about you?"

The soft voice resounded under the quiet moonlit night. Yan Zixia didn't look back, but she let out a burst of laughter like silver bells.

"Why are you laughing?" Master Ji frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"I have a little brother who is about the same age as you... He is just a young man, so how do he know what a heart complex is?" Yan Zixia chuckled.

"What kind of little brother is that of yours? What else do we call young adults at our age?"

Master Ji rolled his eyes and couldn't help but said: "Are you pretending to be innocent? I'm afraid that your little brother knows more than you, lingering in the wind and moon, destroying flowers with ruthless hands... maybe he has evil intentions towards you."

"Nonsense... My little brother is the most obedient and sensible." Yan Zixia said coldly.

"Stop following me. You'd better keep your mind simple. I can be your sister."

"I just like older sisters..." Master Ji blurted out.

call……

At this moment, Yan Zixia suddenly straightened up and landed on a small hill, leaning down and looking into the distance.

"Um!?"

Master Ji followed Yan Zixia's gaze and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

There is a temple with a towering archway, surrounded by palaces, and a huge stone tablet inserted into the hill at the end.

"Tianshi Ancestral Hall!?"

"Do you know this place?" Yan Zixia couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, there is no one in the capital who doesn't know about it." Master Ji said calmly.

Nowadays, Xuantian Pavilion is known as the state religion of Daqian, but before that, Tianshi Mansion was the most prestigious and the highest school for monster hunters in the world.

Over the long years, the Tianshi Mansion has created countless demon hunters to subdue demons and protect the common people.

In order to commend the achievements of the Tianshi Mansion, and to commemorate those demon hunters who worked hard to conquer demons, the imperial court specially ordered the construction of nine Tianshi ancestral halls, the construction of steles and seal inscriptions.

"There are nine Celestial Master ancestral halls in the capital. The largest one is in the Celestial Master's Mansion... I heard that the bones and magical instruments of the Celestial Masters of all generations are buried in it. It is the most important one."

Master Ji said solemnly: "In addition, there is a Tianshi ancestral hall in each of the eight directions of the capital... It is not very important, but the commemorative significance is even greater."

"Every year, the imperial court organizes demon hunters from all over the country to visit the eight Celestial Masters' ancestral halls in Beijing to preach the moral standards of demon hunters in the new era of patriotism, love for the court, and love for the emperor."

Master Ji raised his hand, pointed in the distance and said: "This Tianshi Ancestral Hall is located in the southwest corner of the capital. It is the farthest one from the imperial city... not many people come here on weekdays..."

"Zixia, if you want to visit, I will take you in during the day tomorrow..."

"Visit? Is it possible to visit a place like this casually?" Yan Zixia looked strange and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course... Didn't I just say that among the nine Celestial Master ancestral halls, the most important one is the one in the Celestial Master's Mansion..."

"As for the other eight major ancestral halls, almost all of them preach the merits of the Tianshi Mansion. The glorious deeds of the demon hunters in the past... are used to popularize the education of demon hunters..."

Master Ji said casually: "If you want to go in, just buy a ticket and you can go in...it only costs one penny..."

"Tickets are free for monster hunters!"

"This..." Yan Zixia's eyes narrowed slightly and she fell into deep thought.

"Why don't we travel together tomorrow... I heard that a famous painting by His Majesty Shenzong was also exhibited in the temple recently." Master Ji warmly invited.

"Shenzong's famous paintings?"

"Not bad..." Master Ji nodded.

His Majesty Shenzong has a particularly famous painting, a pair of beautiful people, a match made in heaven. On the wedding night, the woman, surrounded by three sisters, entered the bridal chamber. The wine was full of wine and everyone fell asleep. At this moment, the man walked into the room. In the middle, he stood in front of the couch, looking lovingly at his wife and the three sisters who were already asleep.

"Why does it feel weird?" Yan Zixia couldn't help showing a strange expression as she listened to Master Ji's description.

Since the painting is depicting the joy of a newlywed, the wife's sisters seem a bit redundant and should not appear in the painting.

"This painting is the famous one called [Three Passes by the House without Entering]. Let's take a look at it together tomorrow." Master Ji chuckled.

"You've been through the house three times without entering? This name... is totally out of context and has nothing to do with the painting."

Yan Zixia found it even more strange. Could it be that His Majesty Shenzong was known as the best person in the ages? Even the paintings were so profound and difficult to understand, hiding mysteries that no ordinary person could understand.

"It fits very well, it's very relevant..." Master Ji's mouth slightly raised, revealing an unexpectedly long smile.

"Think about it carefully... Could it be that you haven't had... a better male friend who has made good friends with you before?"

"Teach me what?" Yan Zixia looked confused: "I have been practicing in the mountains since I was a child. I have seen more monsters than people. I don't have any good male friends."

"Seriously?" Master Ji's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Yan Zixia and felt even more joyful.

"You haven't said why this painting is called [Three Passes by the House without Entering]." Yan Zixia couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay not to mention it. I'll take care of you when I get the chance." Master Ji casually fooled him.

Yan Zixia didn't ask any questions after hearing the words. She didn't care much in the first place, her soft eyes almost condensed into a single line, all falling on the lonely Tianshi Ancestral Hall.

"You...seem to be very interested in it..."

Master Ji looked at Yan Zixia, who was suddenly silent, and her fiery and determined eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

"I had a dream... This place is destined for me."

Yan Zixia slowly stood up, and her beautiful figure seemed to float into the dark night.

"Zixia, I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Master Ji shouted from behind.

Before he finished speaking, the night returned to coldness, and only the faint fragrance floated around, proving that the beauty was there.

"You are too shy to answer me, but you are really interested in me."

Master Ji grinned lightly, looked back at the Tianshi Ancestral Hall, turned around and walked into the dark night.

This night, his dream must be extremely sweet.

…

the next day.

Early in the morning, Li Mo took Chen Wangdu to Jiqing Street.

This is the most pyrotechnic place in the entire Nancheng. Before dawn, all kinds of stalls and hawkers are busy. There are hundreds of stalls just for breakfast. They change the food every day and can eat for a year.

Li Mo took Chen Wangdu to pick out a restaurant [Laowang Beef Soup]. The stall was not big, just two tables, a bowl of beef soup, sprinkled with green onion and coriander, half a pound of braised beef, and two sesame seed cakes, or just Eat it with soup, or eat it with braised beef...a different taste.

This life is worth it! ! !

Today, Li Mo is the [Hongmen Military Supervisor], and he manages about a hundred people, most of whom are masters of the Nine Cun Realm, and there are also seven strong men of the First Miao Realm.

The advantage of being an official is that you don't have to commute to get off work on time. After eating this meal, you can go back and take a nap before going to the government office.

Of course, Li Mo is not that lazy person, he is still very strict with himself.

"After breakfast, it's time for lunch." Li Mo took a sip of soup and asked casually.

I drank too much of Uncle Ma's big bone soup, so for a change of taste, it still tastes different.

"If you are not in a hurry to return to the government office, you can go to the [Treasure Department] first to get this month's certificate..." Chen Wangdu said respectfully.

As an official of Xuantian Pavilion, his monthly salary is not much. Just like Li Mo, when he reaches [Hongmen Governor], his monthly salary is only a few dozen taels of silver, even less than Bulong Yuan Mansion. Income of ordinary officials.

However, as beings with the establishment of Xuantian Pavilion, they can also receive internal benefits such as elixirs and medicinal herbs, rare treasures, special weapons, etc. every month. The total of these invisible "money" is much higher than their salary.

In addition, Xuantian Pavilion officials also receive special discounts and subsidies for purchasing rune weapons, houses, elixirs, exercises, etc.

These "invisible" benefits are beyond the imagination of ordinary civilians. They don't even know about them. They think that most of the officials in the court are honest people. They receive a meager salary every month, but they have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the safety of the people. important task.

Because of this, even though some people are well-off and have considerable assets, they still cut their heads and want to get into the imperial establishment.

"Are everything I want ready?" Li Mo picked up the sesame cakes, soaked them in beef soup, and asked.

"The [Sword Qi Stone], [Purple Fire Clutch Incense], [Ox-consuming Bone Strengthening Powder], [Quick-Acting Heart Strengthening Pill], etc. that your Excellency needs have all been submitted... The Treasure Department informed us yesterday that they are ready." Chen Wangdu had a strange look on his face.

Almost all of these treasures are used to temper the physical body, strengthen the bone marrow, and strengthen the five internal organs.

In particular, [Sword Qi Stone] is a kind of supernatural ore that can release a kind of magnetism like sword Qi, tempering the body and activating the internal organs. It is the most overbearing and most suitable for masters who practice swords. The bone marrow is channeled and the sword intention is vigorous. , has unimaginable magical effects.

If you are a cultivator and have a spiritual weapon with a sword spirit, you can even use this treasure to communicate with the master, harmonize the inside and outside, and strengthen your cultivation.

Just from the treasures Li Mo needed, Chen Wangdu secretly guessed that their master might have broken through the realm and officially joined the list of masters in the [Residing Miao Realm].

"Not bad..." Li Mo nodded.

"It's just that... there are too many things that your Excellency needs, which exceeds the specifications of [Hongmen Warlord Envoy]. The extra part needs to be paid for by Your Majesty." Chen Wangdu said softly.

"Otherwise, next month... you won't be able to receive your copy."

"How much more?" Li Mo asked casually.

Although he also lives in the Miao Realm, it is not comparable to ordinary people in the same realm, and the treasures required are naturally larger.

"Three thousand taels."

"What? Why so many?" Li Mo frowned.

"This is because your Excellency is the military governor. If you were a subordinate, it would be at least twice as much." Chen Wangdu said with a bitter smile.

This is the difference in treatment between different official positions.

In fact, with Chen Wangdu's position, he would not be able to receive so many treasures. Not to mention anything else, he was not qualified to receive the [Sword Qi Stone] alone, and he did not even have the authority to purchase it himself.

"Okay, I understand." Li Mo nodded.

When he became the new leader of the list, he also received a lot of rewards. Inside and out, he still had more than 8,000 taels of savings, which should be enough for a while.

"Practice is really expensive, you still have to climb up." Li Mo sighed to himself.

"Master Li is so excited that he is here to enjoy himself with the people."

At this moment, a pleasant sound came from not far away.

Li Mo looked up and saw a woman walking towards her. She had a graceful figure and a graceful figure. She especially had a great mind, but her brows showed a sassy air.

"Do you know me?" Li Mo looked around, and it was obvious that he was coming for him.

"My name is Yu Zhaoyue. I come from Tianshi Mansion. I am here on official business..."

The visitor came over and sat opposite Li Mo minding his own business.

"I'm going to the Xuantian Pavilion... the people there said that at this hour, Mr. Li should be happy here."

Yu Zhaoyue glanced at Li Mo. It was really hard to imagine that such a lazy person who skipped work would be the new leader of Xuantian Pavilion this time. It was really not as famous as meeting him.

"Official business?" Li Mo was stunned and quickly swallowed the sesame seed cake in his mouth.

"Sir, there is no need to be anxious. Let's finish after eating... This family's beef soup is famous far and wide. Their old soup has been passed down for thirty years..." Yu Zhaoyue said calmly.

"Thirty years?" Li Mo almost choked.

"If you want to know the taste, you must use the old soup..." Yu Zhaoyue wrote lightly: "It is passed down from generation to generation, and the soup is still there after death."

"I heard that some old soups have been passed down for hundreds of years. They are older than your grandfather. After tasting the soup made from that kind of old soup, if you don't drink it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable..."

Li Mo looked at the beef soup in his hand, curled his lips, and put down the soup bowl.

"Let's talk business."

Li Mo was curious. He was a disciple of Xuantian Pavilion, but the other party was Tianshi Mansion. The two had nothing to do with each other. What official matters needed to be negotiated?

"My lord before I came sent some men to follow me to protect the Tianshi Ancestral Hall." Yu Zhaoyue said calmly.

"Guarding the Tianshi Ancestral Hall?" Li Mo was a little confused.

"It's like this..." Yu Zhaoyue pondered for a moment, then said: "Nine hundred years ago, the Supreme Master once discovered a demon ghost, twin babies, and filled the sky with resentment..."

The [Supreme Heavenly Master] mentioned by Yu Zhaoyue was Jiang Wuyao, who was known as the best demon hunter in the world nine hundred years ago.

Although this legendary powerful man was born in the Tianshi Mansion, there is no inheritance between the two.

However, the Tianshi Mansion regarded this big boss as the strongest successor in its history. To avoid taboos, it was called the Supreme Tianshi, which is also the Supreme Tianshi.

"The Supreme Heavenly Master trained the [Twin Infant Ghosts] into an extremely powerful monster and sealed it in the Heavenly Master's Ancestral Hall..."

"What does that have to do with me? Isn't this a matter of your Tianshi Mansion?" Li Mo was a little confused.

Yu Zhaoyue glanced at Li Mo, and then said: "In refining this monster back then, in addition to relying on the methods of the Supreme Master, there was also the ingenuity of the first generation master of the Ling Sect..."

"Han Qi!?"

"Yes, he rebelled against Xuantian Pavilion and joined Guixu. Who knows if there is any record about this monster?" Yu Zhaoyue said solemnly.

As long as it involves Guixu, they are all under the control of Hongmen. If Guixu masters focus on this monster, it will be very bad.

"Now that you have mastered it, why don't your Tianshi Mansion use it? Why do you stay there?" Li Mo understood the general idea and asked casually.

Yu Zhaoyue's pretty face was slightly red, and she said calmly: "The Heavenly Master once said that this thing only exists in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and those who are destined to have it will come to it nine hundred years later."

"These days, the noise of that thing is getting louder and louder, and I'm afraid it's about to appear."

"The destined one? Who will be the destined one?" Chen Wangdu couldn't help but ask.

Yu Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Master Zhitian only left a one-word clue."

"What word?"

"Yan!"

Yu Zhaoyue said in a deep voice: "So the monster that was trained by the [Hand-Handed Baby Ghost], we call it..."
