The next day.
Qinglonghui's residence.
In the study room.
In front of Lin Mo was a huge white paper with several circles drawn on it.
Next to it is an open parchment scroll.
"Qianyu Realm is a world where immortals, ancestral paths, and ancestors coexist. The area is slightly smaller than Chixian. Of course, Qianyu is not its real name, but the most similar pronunciation in Chixian's language..."
"It's different from Chi County. The sect is respected. The country must be protected by the sect in order to have long-term peace and stability. Even the appointment of the emperor is decided by the sect boss?"
This result is actually a bit incredible.
In Lin Mo's view, there can only be one reason for such a situation, and that is the solidification of class.
Just like a pyramid, the gap between the combat power of the top and the middle and lower levels is too big, and even its appearance was earlier than the birth of the feudal autocratic system, so that such a situation could be formed.
It's a bit like the immortal cultivator he saw in his previous life.
The gods on the mountain are high above, and the people below the mountain are like pigs and sheep.
"Perhaps it can be understood based on the weird cultivation methods over there." An idea flashed through Lin Mo's mind.
According to the secret intelligence scroll given by Zhou He, a stable cultivating class like Qianyujie has not always existed. The reason is not the lack of resources, but... the foreign enemies.
In the same way, worlds collide, realms are born, and red tides rise.
Those who are not from my ethnic group must have a different mindset.
We must believe that when a strange culture, no, even a strange race appears, the possibility of war must be greater than peace.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the truth.
As recorded in the Thousand Feathers World, after the war called 'Restart', the original chaotic situation of countries fighting and separatist regimes was no longer the case. Big countries collapsed, small countries were annexed... and even those large sects had their inheritances extinct.
Now, in general, Qianyu Realm is divided into three major forces.
They are the Ancestral God Mountain of the Ancestral Dao line, with several true monarchs sitting on the mountain, the Qianyu Dao League of the Immortal Dao line, which is composed of the major Immortal Dao sects, and finally... the Immortal Dao, the mixed cultivator of the Ancestral Dao, and the representatives of the Imperial line. , Vientiane Immortal Dynasty!
Among them, the Wanxiang Immortal Dynasty is more special, because it was formed by the secret merger of several royal families of great powers due to the invasion of foreign tribes. The sects on the mountain had no time to take care of it.
"Speaking of which, the Dongji Qinghua Immortality Sutra that I practice should belong to a faction in the Qianyu Taoist Alliance, the Immortality Sect?"
"According to Zhou He, the Chixian side can maintain an undefeated situation mostly because of the discomfort of crossing borders, which prevents the masters of the Qianyu world from fully displaying their strength... No, that's not true, to be precise, with all their strength Performance will inevitably come at a price, otherwise the cause of what happened in Taizhou cannot be explained...
But what is certain is that there is a certain gap between Chixian and the other side in terms of top-level combat power, but it will never be a huge difference. Otherwise, the long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain, and Chixian will have sunk long ago. "
In fact, Lin Mo had already made a guess about this.
After all, Qianyu Realm has two cultivation paths, the Immortal Path and the Ancestral Path. Although the number of paths does not necessarily determine the number of strong people, the diversity of choices can undoubtedly better unleash the potential of the population.
What's more, the opponent seems to have experienced a big battle and seems to have suffered a lot.
If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be general, and if you are general, you will be successful.
Just like the Chixian martial arts world today must be stronger than it was eight hundred years ago.
'So it is reasonable that Chixian cannot compare with Qianyujie. '
It’s just that compared to Chixian martial arts, which realm does the true king and Taoist ancestor of Qianyu Realm correspond to?
Maybe it's Dharma? Maybe a celestial being?
This is not clear.
The difference in the system can only be known by actually playing it.
In other words, only the handful at the top know.
'However, even such a powerful Qian Yujie seems to have been beaten hard to deflect conflicts.
Like the Taizhou incident some time ago, the other party undoubtedly paid a lot of money. There is only one reason why they did this.
If they don't do this, the consequences will be more serious. If the guess is correct, then how strong must the strange force be? '
Lin Mo couldn't imagine it.
You have to improve your strength quickly.
At present, there are only two ways to quickly improve the strength. One is to break through the Grandmaster realm. After the inner world is perfected, the strength will skyrocket. With Lin Mo's base strength, an increase of 10% is terrifying, let alone only 10%. ?
The second is the talent beads to awaken the next talent.
Feeling the progress of the talent beads on his chest, he could say that the Yuan Stone had been filling up for about 60% of the time. He still needed 40% to awaken a talent again.
If the latter does not have wonderful encounters, it can only rely on time accumulation and cannot be rushed.
However, in the former case, Lin Mo's threshold of being a master was almost nil, but after the recent battles, it became more and more transparent.
This is manifested in the fact that the inner Qi is as strong as the sea, and the mental energy is almost ready to condense into substance.
The changing situation in the outside world and the treacherous situation made Lin Mo feel uneasy and at the same time inexplicably excited.
More and more, he wanted to truly stand on the top of the mountain, watch the ups and downs of the world, and really get involved in it. He no longer wanted to follow the crowd like before. On the contrary, he longed to move forward.
...
The end of December, the forty-eighth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The sacred mountain of Qianyu Realm, Baicang, was extremely important. He defeated Yuan Shoudao, the deputy commander of Zhou Sheng's army in Taizhou for the second time. He drove Chen Xu, the new governor of the state, to Tai'an County and built the city of Baize.
Three days later, Huaihou Mansion Huai Wuqi guarded the three counties of Jiu'an, Meidu, and Yuchi. He opened a mansion and built Ya, named Dahuai. He established Huai Wuqi as the first emperor with the reign name Kang Yu. He made Meidu the capital and changed his name. Xinjing.
Three days later, Huai Wuqi signed a Linjiang alliance with Zushen Mountain in Baize City, pacting for peaceful coexistence and mutual non-aggression.
Da da da.
Lin Mo casually threw the letter aside and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Sure enough... people's hearts are full of ghosts and it's hard to imagine..." He felt a little complicated.
Unexpectedly, Taizhou Huaihou Mansion actually surrendered like this.
Even if the previous generation of Huaihou died at the hands of the Great Sun True Monarch, his son should still surrender and lie down.
But I should have thought of it earlier.
Zhou Boyi, the leader of Zhou Sheng's army in Taizhou, died in battle, but Huaihou was nowhere to be found, which already explained the problem.
I just really didn't expect it...
Lin Mo sighed, gave up all thoughts of continuing to practice, and walked out of the room.
At this time, the Qinglonghui residence was rebuilt again, and the two courtyards on the left and right were purchased and opened together, making the area larger by a quarter.
Lin Mo's study and private martial arts training ground were in the backyard, while the middle courtyard was the Qianyuantang where fresh blood was cultivated.
Before he got close, he could hear loud shouts and loud punches.
At a glance, he saw that there were a hundred people in one small courtyard, and there were five such courtyards in total, which meant that for the first time, he was recruiting disciples, and five hundred people were recruited.
Three hundred of them were fifteen or sixteen year olds who were suitable for martial arts training, and two hundred were thirteen or fourteen year olds.
Choose mostly children from poor farmers and homeless orphans. Try to ensure that your identity is clean and your origins are clear.
Perhaps in a few years, they will be considered the backbone of the Blue Dragon Society.
At this time, the deacon in charge of the martial arts arena had already seen Lin Mo and walked over quickly.
"Dragon head."
"No need to be nervous, I'm just here to take a look."
Lin Mo looked at the anxious and nervous man and said softly.
He had some impression of this person, he was the old man from Blue Split Whale.
In fact, it is impossible to choose outsiders to teach newcomers, such as martial arts masters and deacons. The personnel assigned can only be old people who know the basics and are loyal.
Only in this way can he, in the process of teaching martial arts, quietly enhance his disciples' sense of belonging to the Qinglong Club and Lin Mo's personal admiration.
Seeing Lin Mo's easy-going tone, the man relaxed and smiled on his face:
"Longshou, this time we recruited a few good disciples. Hall Master Xiao suggested that if you are free, you can recruit them as disciples. Maybe after ten years, they can be reused and become your disciples." Right arm."
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange a time then, and you can organize it. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Mo nodded and looked at the disciple who was still sweating from boxing in the cold winter. He couldn't help but recall the time when he practiced boxing in Xu's Pharmacy. He was in a good mood and praised it.
"You should do your duty for the dragon head!"
The man who originally had a smile on his face became even more excited. He bowed down and his voice became a little trembling.
Lin Mo said nothing. He was more than a head taller than the man. He stretched out his hand and stroked his head.
The man buried his head lower.
After several wars, the attitude of the four major families towards the Blue Dragon Society, and the subsequent increase in benefits, Lin Mo's prestige in the hearts of the old Blue Split Whales had almost reached its peak.
This is also the benefit of adding great power to oneself.
In troubled times, a force is bound to need a soul figure.
Lin Mo happened to do just that.
Coupled with the research and development of its curse seal and the two-way achievement of spiritual and physical bodies, this trend has been further consolidated.
"Where are Hall Master Xiao and others now?" Lin Mo asked aloud, "Also, notify Xu Guilongshou to come to the theater to meet me."
"Yes, my subordinates will go and inform immediately." Lin Mo let go of his hand, the man bowed and saluted again, turned around and quickly rushed to the other side.
Lin Mo stood still and continued to watch the group of little guys practicing boxing. After a few minutes, he walked left, passed through a long corridor, and went around the back. Not long after, he stepped into a small bamboo forest courtyard.
These bamboos are the rumored bamboo species of Penglai Island's special aura purple bamboo above the seven seas. Although it is not as amazing as its mother bamboo, living there for a long time can also make people feel refreshed and mentally alert.
This is a theater.
When the bright moon hangs brightly in the sky at night and the moonlight shines, there will be a scene of rustling bamboo leaves making clear shadows in the courtyard.
Hence the name.
When Lin Mo came to sit down at a stone table in the center of the courtyard, Xiao Zhengyang and Xu Gui also rushed over on the other side.
"grown ups."
"Dragon head."
After the two saw Lin Mo, they saluted and asked.
Lin Mo stood up, walked to Xiao Zhengyang, and smiled: "Old Xiao, I'm still used to you calling me Lao Lin in private."
A smile appeared on Xiao Zhengyang's rough face, but he was still a little reserved. He didn't speak and just nodded.
"I wonder what you have asked us to do this time?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he took the initiative to start the topic.
"There are two things. In a few days, the Yamen will send some people to the meeting. Then you can keep an eye on it." Lin Mo raised a finger to indicate that this was the first thing.
"Staring, you need us..."
Xiao Zhengyang was thoughtful, opened his hand and made a gesture.
"No need, just keep an eye on them and treat them as if they don't exist. Even if there is any behavior that violates the rules, cooperate if you can. In the end, it will be transferred to me and I will solve it." Lin Mo shook his head.
"Leave this to me, no problem." Xiao Zhengyang nodded.
"The second thing." Lin Mo looked at Xu Gui.
"Last time I asked you to investigate, how are you preparing for the secret investigation into the Huailiu Gang?"
"This... is a bit difficult. The Huailiu Gang seems to be composed of some Jianghu people. In fact, it is all local family forces in Huaiping. It was originally the merger of several business firms.
The people above their middle level are all their own children or clansmen, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter their core unless they are married. "
Xu Gui replied.
Marriage is actually quite normal, especially among large families.
"Of course, this is also the reason why its development momentum is not as good as ours, but according to my secret investigation, I discovered a strange phenomenon."
"What's happening?" Lin Mo asked.
"There has been a big change in Taizhou. To be honest, the most affected one is our water transport business. Now the large and small merchants and shipping companies at the ferry, including us, have begun to shrink their strength.
Unexpectedly, the Huailiu Gang is expanding uncharacteristically, and even acquired and merged two small trading houses a few days ago. "Xu Gui frowned when he said this.
"Have you found the reason?"
"It's been found out. Some new faces have appeared in some halls inside. I guess new forces have joined." Xu Gui said in a low voice.
"Then put more eyes on it." Lin Mo thought for a while and said.
"Yes!" Xu Gui nodded.
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhengyang again.
"Old Xiao, after you finish your work, you can start building several bases in the Taihuai Mountains, and you must ensure that they are carried out in secret."
"It can be considered as a last resort."
"Leave it to me." Xiao Zhengyang was silent for a moment and nodded. He understood what Lin Mo meant, and he also knew about Taizhou. After all, he was now in charge of intelligence.
"By the way, find some time to send a greeting card to Mrs. Sun. I may have to go out in a few days." Lin Mo suddenly said.
"Get out?" they both asked simultaneously.
"Go home." Lin Mo replied, "It's been almost two years since we parted ways. Now that we have settled down here, I want to solve all my worries."
Previously, I was forced to leave my hometown due to pressure.
Now that he has Lingtai Sect on his back, he is about to break through to become a Grandmaster, and he has the strength to become a Grandmaster, and he has the confidence to return to the Lin family.
On the other hand, he had a premonition that the world might no longer be peaceful in the future, even in Huaizhou. Just in case, he placed all his clan members around him, at least to feel at ease.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Xu Gui asked.
"Forget it, you finish what you are doing and leave it to Yan Zhen, and then go back with me." Lin Mo thought for a while and said.
Xu Gui is much better than Ding Yi or Yan Zhen in terms of strength and meticulousness. Walking with him can make him worry less.
Finally, he also planned to take Qingye with him, on the one hand to protect his safety, and on the other hand, to confirm the map and prepare to leave immediately.
To be honest, he was no less interested in that leisure spot than the people of Black Buddhism.
