In the fifty-second year of Qi Guang's reign in the Great Zhou Dynasty, March spring, thirteenth.
Spring Dust Festival.
Bang! Bang bang bang bang!!
Large circles of firecrackers exploded in the streets and alleys, and white smoke rose up noisily in the light of the fire, spreading and filling the alleys.
Immediately afterwards.
Plop! Plop!
There was another string of rapid firecrackers, red, blue, yellow and other colorful meteors trailing behind, shooting into the sky, and the next moment, the dark night sky.
suddenly illuminated.
Countless colored light spots spread out, some dissipated and dimmed, some continued to split, and then fell.
A series of colorful stairs are formed in the sky, and the stairs extend upwards, as if they will lead to the rumored White Jade Palace where the immortals live above the nine heavens. In fact, these fireworks were designed by Gong Shujun, the master of pyrotechnics of Gongshu family. The real name is Ladder to Heaven.
In the past, performances were held in Wangjing. This year, Tianzhou Mu Chen Tianxi invited us to have this rare fireworks show in Wanyicheng.
For a moment, the "ladder to heaven" stretched continuously in the sky, the firecrackers kept ringing on the ground, and accompanied by the laughter of children, the many sounds came together, and it seemed that all the hard work of the past year had been dispersed.
The dust of the old year is gone, and the spring of the new year has begun.
This is the origin of Spring Dust Festival.
Yifo City, a restaurant.
Lin Mo, Wu Ziyang and other people from the Seven Seas Alliance were sitting in a private room. The restaurant had a good environment and high standards. Each private room was equipped with a viewing terrace, which provided an unobstructed view of the scenery downstairs.
"Yizhou is indeed Yizhou. Even the Spring Dust Festival before this year's festival has a stronger atmosphere than Qihai's New Year's Festival. And these fireworks... are really extraordinary. Their maker must also be an expert in concealed weapons and artillery!" "Wu Ziyang on the side looked at the fireworks in the night sky and couldn't help but sigh softly.
He placed the black sword he brought with him in front of his knees. After all this time, his injuries were still not healed, and there was a strong smell of medicine on his body.
taste.
Wearing a loose robe, the bandages wrapped around the entire body can be vaguely seen.
Next to him, Sun Lang was in the same situation. He was wearing a loose robe and his waist was covered with bandages. The smell of medicine could not be concealed on his body.
The difference is that they are young, energetic and mentally strong.
In fact, this is normal. Even if the martial artist injured his muscles, he spared no effort in Lin Mo, even planted a curse seal, and there was no shortage of drug resources.
The situation, after so much time has passed, has only recovered to 50% to 60%.
The rest need to rest.
This is also the reason why the group returned to Wanyicheng.
"Brother Angkor, you are right. In the eyes of the world, Gongshu Jun of Gongshu family is just a famous pyrotechnics master. In fact, he is the master of Gongshu family's Fire Arms Hall. He is the direct lineage of Gongshu family and can be ranked among the top." Three! There has been a record of setting up a huge formation of thunder and earth fire alone to ambush the poisonous dragon beast king in the Tai'a Mountains!" Sun Lang looked out of the window, with colorful light spots reflected in his pupils, and couldn't help but explain:
"Speaking of which, the Yizhou Prefect has a great reputation. You must know that for the leader of the Huobing Hall, fireworks are just a pastime. He has been invited by people from other states, but he also responded that he would not perform in Wangjing. I didn't expect to be invited by him.
In Chi County, the Beast King is a rare and rare beast compared to Zhenjun Wufu. As for the big Beast King, it is like the Big Beast King of the Seven Seas. It is the king of beasts and has a very small number. In recent years, it has only been affected by Yang Chao. When the number of reasons increases, it is simply difficult for ordinary True Lords to deal with them.
"When it comes to face, Buddha's head is not weak in face. Who would have thought that he could actually have a relationship with the Shuhou Mansion." Suddenly, Wu Ziyang looked at Lin Mo and said with a smile.
"Yes, Foshou, I remember, didn't you have a conflict with the Xiang family before? How did this happen, and the other party came to help us?" Speaking of this, Sun Lang also asked curiously.
Although Lin Mo was transferred back to Wanyi City, there was no corresponding guard in the fifteenth level realm, Fenqiu Lake, or Dead Grassland, except for Liu Yanfa from Phoenix Forest.
The taxation and management rights of both places are in Lin Mo's hands.
It’s just that he has been transferred away from Ten Thousand Bones Forest, and Wu Ziyang and others have been injured again.
, in fact, no one is available at all.
But what was originally considered a very troublesome matter, not long ago, the Xiang family of the Shuhou Mansion suddenly came to discuss it, and sent people to come forward to guard the dead grassland and Fenqiu Lake. The two great true monarchs only received 20% of the income, which was not a good deal.
"It's just a transaction."
Lin's hand stopped holding the wine glass, shook his head, and drank it all in one gulp.
He thought of the shadow of the little princess of the Xiang family he had met before, and the housekeeper of the Xiang family who came to the door not long ago. He also didn't understand why she showed kindness, but at his level, these are not important anymore, and the good intentions will be paid off. , I will kill you if you are malicious, as long as there is an equal exchange, it will be a clear conscience.
"It's just a deal... Hehe, Buddha Head, I heard that the little princess of the Xiang family has been visiting you a lot these days, and she is not yet married."
Sun Lang on the side was very discerning, adding wine to the pot, and said in a low voice.
"But I already have children."
Lin Mo said angrily. "It's just a transaction between two secret areas in the realm. A lot of resources are involved. Naturally, it can't be finalized with just words. It requires various negotiations. And the Shuhou Mansion also proposed that they can help resell them in exchange for resources. Naturally, it's very important. good.
The person in charge was Xiang Xiaomeng, so the frequency of visits naturally increased. In order to avoid suspicion, he gave Wu Zixu a chance to do most of the things later..." Sun Lang felt a little regretful when he heard this. Just now, he thought of many things in his mind, "Master, don't run away, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family is risking her life to pursue," "Famous family" The story of how a princess pursues her husband is waiting for the novel.
It's a pity that Lin Mo is married and they have a good relationship. As the little princess of Shuhou Mansion, Xiang Xiaomeng has absolutely no chance of cheating. It is impossible for the two to make a decision.
"With the potential and strength of Foshou, why would there be any regrets? Give him time, Lingtai Sect may not be able to grow beyond the Shuhou Mansion. If I really regret it, it will only be someone else." Wu Ziyang said coldly from the side.
"This also means that with Buddha's head's talents, even in ancient times, he would have become a real big shot in the world of martial arts!"
Sun Lang nodded in agreement, looking at Lin Mo with eyes full of reverence.
Even now, recalling the scene when Lin Mo appeared on the stage, he still couldn't help but tremble and get excited.
Whether it's the power to overwhelm a large number of enemies with just a single gesture, or the courage to make the world change color when he talks and laughs.
They all demonstrated incomparably what it means to be invincible, what it means to stand high in the sky, and look down upon thousands of warriors!
Coupled with Lin Mo's usual friendliness and kindness, this huge contrast and this indescribable charm immediately convinced him.
"I believe that Buddha Head will be able to write his own legend in this era!
"Sun Lang stood up respectfully and poured wine again.
"But Foshou, how long do we have to stay in Yizhou? There is news that there seems to be some disagreement between the Shangmeng and the imperial court, and the public's perception of us is not good either..." Sun Lang After pouring the wine, he suddenly thought of something, looked at the others in a low voice, and spoke in a low voice. "Furthermore, I heard that Xiao Wenhu, the deputy leader of the Haichao Gang, and Xiaoxiang Jianluo Daxia, the deputy leader of the Double Swords Alliance, are still locked up. Even during the Spring Dust Festival, outsiders are not allowed in or out. I don't know how long they will be locked up, let alone what will happen next. What would it be like...
Lin Duan picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
He naturally knew about this matter, and the latter was undoubtedly implicated by the Luhai Festival. Although normally, the court knew that Xiao Wenhu, Luo Qi and others were fine, but now that the matter had come to an end, they could not do nothing.
On the one hand, it stabilizes the people's hearts, and on the other hand, it puts pressure on the Seven Seas Alliance and orders them to assist in the investigation.
Even why the investigation on Qihai Jinluo Island was so fast may not be due to this reason.
As for why Lin Mo and the others were not rounded up and imprisoned.
It is probably due to the special nature of his identity, Lingtai Sect, which is the Jiuzhou Sect, Lin Mo's thoughts are flowing.
"No, that's not right. It should be more for the sake of strength. The nature of imprisoning a few great true kings is completely different from imprisoning a great sage. No matter how powerful the Yizhou court is, it is impossible to restrict the freedom of a great warrior. , and he doesn’t have the ability to send a great sage to look after him..., so
Is it a penalty drink or not? I can only give him a toast and use gentle methods.
Lin Mo couldn't help but think.
Obviously, killing and killing allowed him to enter a new level, but he did not fully enter it.
Otherwise, the ones who would negotiate with him would not be a few young magicians, but the commander of Zhou Shengjun, the Buddha of Landa Temple.
With his talent and hard work day and night, his strength improved extremely quickly. In less than ten years, he reached the true upper level of Chixian martial arts.
But there still seems to be an invisible distance from the top masters and top bosses.
This distance seems not far away, but it is extremely void and unreal.
It means that a slight difference can make a thousand miles.
It's like ice water in an extremely cold place.
It may be only a few degrees away from the real Xuanbing, but the difference of only a few degrees makes the two become things with completely different properties.
I sighed slightly in my heart.
Putting down the wine glass, Sun Lang wanted to step forward to pour the wine, but he waved his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry, the matter in Qihai will be resolved soon, and the same will happen here. There will be no problem." Lin Mo said calmly.
On the Golden Turtle Island of the Seven Seas, even if the Hai Clan didn't find any problems, he would personally take action.
On the one hand, you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but you cannot prevent a thief in a thousand days.
On the one hand, it was just a good time to test the waters, to see what the so-called number one person in the Seven Seas Inner Sea was like, and to find out how far that invisible distance was.
After all, the number one person in the Seven Seas and Inner Seas, placed in Yizhou, how could he be ranked in the top ten and included in the top batch.
Seeing that Lin Mo was confident, Sun Lang, Wu Ziyang and others also relaxed and stopped mentioning the incident and began to enjoy this year's Spring Festival.
From time to time, we chat about interesting anecdotes from the world. Or some secret gossip.
Everyone was extremely relaxed.
During these days, apart from healing their wounds, these few people had nothing else to do, and Lin Mo was not stingy with money, and they were paid a lot for their offerings.
You have no worries about food and clothing, your safety is guaranteed, you have no worries, and you are naturally happy.
It's tea time again.
There are fewer and fewer fireworks, and the "ladder to heaven" that continues into the night gradually dissipates, as if it has disappeared into the depths of the clouds.
There were only sporadic sounds of firecrackers.
Some people on the street began to use big brooms to clear away the confetti waste. Only some children were still unwillingly picking unlit firecrackers among the confetti piles.
A group of people walked downstairs.
When approaching the lobby on the first floor, there was suddenly the sound of clinking glasses, and then a deep male voice came:
"I don't know when this day will end. I heard that there was a thunder cloud on Baishi Street in the south. Lei Daxia's son also disappeared. He was obviously playing at the door. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. There was only a puddle of water on the ground. Along the street There are so many people, but no one is seen! It’s like they disappeared out of thin air!”
Immediately, there was a gasping "hiss," sound.
The people who spoke in this group were a group of thick and powerful men, with strong blood and rugged faces. They were full-fledged knights in the world. These people have very good ears and eyes.
"Master Lei, I remember he broke through the Grand Master two years ago. Something happened to his son too? Wouldn't this turn this neighborhood upside down?"
"Haha, what's the big master? I heard that there was even a true gentleman's heir missing in Yixiang City! The big boss was furious, mobilized manpower and material resources, made a lot of favors, and conducted a vigorous search. In the end, wasn't it all in vain?" in the crowd? , a slightly older and more elegant man shook his head.
"I heard that it disappeared inexplicably. No one was around along the way, and there was also a pool of water on the ground."
"Isn't this really what those beasts from the Sea Tribe did? Damn it!" One person couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but I think it's possible that those guys who practice the new method are responsible. They break through quickly, but the breakthrough method is weird. I heard that evil sects often use living people to do it, just like Qianyu World!" one of
People are mysterious and mysterious, but there is a hint of envy in their eyes.
"You are just talking nonsense. Both the Daoxing Party and the Alien Alliance have explicitly banned that kind of leftist method. Once someone reports it, if it is true, it will not matter life or death, and the reward will be extremely generous. Who dares to mess up? Do it?
By the way, brother, what you said must not be said nonsense. Someone had spread rumors about this before and was arrested by the government..." A bald man said with a smile.
"I just heard about it, just talking..." The man who spoke before said hurriedly, "By the way, I heard that this case of the mysterious child's disappearance is similar to the previous cases of the Huangye Valley, Li Tao Town, and the Papermaking Creek family's murder. The same person, but the second of the four great arresters from Wangjing, Ruthless, Iron Hand, has found clues, dispatched many good men, and laid a dragnet, but I don't know if he can succeed in catching the murderer...
Let’s see if they are from the sea tribe!”
"So what if it's the Sea Clan? Now that the alliance between the imperial court and the Seven Seas Alliance is the general trend, I guess even if it is, they will be severely condemned at most, and they will take advantage of the opportunity to find some benefits. Is it possible that they can fall out?" Some people disagree.
"Brother Ming, be careful what you say!" As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in front of him immediately reminded him.
The former looked complicated when he heard this, shook his head and stopped talking.
"Come, come, come, have a drink, and then go queue up. I heard that the government and merchants have decided to release food, and open some medicinal materials and yuan stones for sale. Go grab some early to avoid price increases again."
The bald man spoke. His status was obviously not low, so he changed the topic. "Yes, I was lucky last time too."
Okay, I just grabbed a batch of Blood Mill Pills, and they were sold out as soon as I grabbed them. The price on the black market has doubled, which is outrageous!"
"Me too, I hope my luck will be better this time..."
