In front of the banana tree, two figures slowly walked out.
The person at the head had loose black hair, a crystal clear purple jade headband on his forehead, and was wearing a bright yellow five-claw gold dragon robe.
He has ordinary facial features, but his skin is extremely fair, like jade, and his eyes are piercing.
It gives people a calm and stable temperament, no, to be precise, it should be noble.
Even among the crowd, this temperament can't help but attract people's attention and realize that it is extraordinary.
At first glance, he looks like someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
The other person was tall, about two and a half meters tall. He was wearing a white brocade suit, bulging with exaggerated muscles, like a human bear.
The Chinese character face, coupled with the open brocade chest, the exaggerated chest muscles, the centipede-shaped scars as thick as ordinary people's arms, give people a sense of ferocity and danger.
In Lin Mo's perception, this person was extremely energetic, truly like a beast king.
In terms of the intensity of the aura alone, it was even more powerful than Song Shiji just now.
And this body...
Lin Mo glanced at the big man with interest.
It had been a long time since he had seen Takefu with such an energetic body.
The man was originally half a body behind the middle-aged man in yellow, but now his figure suddenly became blurry.
He stood in front of the middle-aged man in an instant, and a solemn look appeared on his peaceful face.
The already burly muscles were bulging and swimming in large chunks, and large goose bumps were visible on the skin.
Just being stared at by Lin Mo made him have a sudden impulse, causing him to feel intense physical discomfort and triggering a stress reaction.
"Brother, don't be excited. If Buddha Shou really wants to take action, there is no need to wait until now."
The expression of the middle-aged man in yellow robe remained unchanged. He patted the man beside him gently, passed him over, and stepped forward.
Li Shenxiu had a strange look on his face and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.
However, the former waved his hand, nodded to him, and then kept looking at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo naturally knew each other.
This is also the reason why he left the customs today.
"I don't know how to address you, Your Excellency." Lin Mo looked away from the big man and looked at the middle-aged man in yellow robes who was leading the way.
"I, Zhou Xuanwen, it doesn't matter how you call me. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Zhou with Buddha's head." The man in yellow robe said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the face of the tower-like man behind him changed slightly, even Li Shenxiu on the side couldn't help but be moved, and he immediately wanted to say something.
"Brother Zhou..."
Lin Mo took a deep look at the other party.
He could clearly hear the other person's heartbeat rate and blood flow rate.
everything is normal.
The other party is not hypocritical and has no trace of lying.
Unless he is a real actor and can deceive himself, what he just said should be true.
He was indeed a little surprised.
Some people didn't expect that the other party would come to visit today and the scene would be opened in such a way.
Emperor Qi Guang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qi Guang, is the reign title of the seventh emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty today.
As for Emperor Wen of Zhou, it was his imperial title.
Similar to the posthumous title of the previous life.
However, in previous lives, generally after the death of emperors and nobles, someone would give them titles with commendatory or derogatory meanings based on their deeds during their lifetime.
In Chi County, the emperor's title was directly assigned to the new emperor before the old emperor abdicated.
Today's Emperor Qiguang of the Great Zhou Dynasty is named Emperor Wen of Zhou, and his real name is Xuanwen.
Yes, the person in front of me is the real number one person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the leader of the most powerful force in Chi County.
As for the big man on the side.
Address the other person accordingly.
There is only one elder brother in the current imperial court.
Zhou Yuan, the former general, is now the chief of the Chahai Department.
Before that, he had controlled the Sixth Army of Emperor Wangjing, and had the potential to become a Taiwei, making him the number one person in the military.
But not long ago, there was a major reshuffle of military forces in the court. The leading general Zhou Yuan and the Minister of War Lin Chen were the first to bear the brunt.
He was directly transferred to the second line and retreated from the center of power.
Everyone thought that the two of them could no longer win the emperor's heart.
At this time, Emperor Qi Guang actually took only one of them on a private visit to Wangjing incognito, and came to the Lingtai Sect thousands of miles away.
If it were spread, it could be said that it would definitely shake the court and cause a lot of speculation and confusion.
After all, the struggle between the doves of the Dao Hsin Party and the hawkish military of the past can be said to be intensifying.
Overt suppression and secret fights to the death are not uncommon.
Overall, it was the military that was at a disadvantage and was severely suppressed.
"I wonder what the purpose of Brother Zhou's visit today is...?" Lin Mo asked directly, thoughtfully.
With his current strength, he no longer needs to be aggressive, and he no longer has to think about himself.
"Master, do you know why I changed my order early and late, suppressing the main fighting party and re-employing the Daoxing party?" Zhou Xuanwen said calmly.
He didn't sell out.
"Not long ago, something happened in Xinjing of Dahuai, the small dynasty. The next day, True Lord Heishan of Qianyu Realm came to Wangjing alone, talked with me, and finally agreed on a truce and alliance.
One of the reasons is the suppression of their strength. "
Zhou Xuanwen turned his head and looked down the mountain.
Amid the rolling sea of clouds, the meandering Yin River can be vaguely seen, extending southward to the Tai'a Mountains.
"Eight hundred years ago, when the realm first opened, there were few who could enter the natal realm, even the Nether Realm. Even at the beginning, due to the weird methods of the immortal way, they had the upper hand.
But relying on human lives, Chixian can still block it.
But at the back, like a river, the wider the road, the more turbulent the water. At this point, not to mention the Netherworld, even the cave, and even the Taoist level, can all appear at a certain cost.
There are also ten immortal incarnations that can come.
Even in the past eight hundred years, the vitality has recovered and the martial arts has returned to its peak. In the battle of realms, our side is still stretched thin, whether it is the middle level or the top level combat power.
This is still the situation where the Kowloon Feng Shui Formation is still there and the realm has not collapsed, but since the Taizhou Incident ten years ago..." Zhou Xuanwen's voice became lower and lower, and finally he stopped talking and just shook his head.
To be honest, although the collapse of the realm and the destruction of the state and land did not happen overnight, the change in Taizhou Yinxu Lake was indeed the trigger of all events.
It was from this that the neighboring Huaizhou and Yuzhou fell one after another in less than a year.
"What happened with Marquis Huai back then, and Brother Zhou..." Lin Mo's mind was racing with thoughts, and he suddenly spoke, asking about a rumor that had been circulating in the hustle and bustle back then.
"I didn't do it. I could endure Chen Tianxi for so many years, but couldn't I endure Huai Mingyuan?
Taizhou, Huaizhou, and Yuzhou, as the three remote states, have the weakest martial arts and lack of resources. In previous years, they have needed money and manpower from the imperial court for assistance. "Zhou Xuanwen shook his head.
Huai Mingyuan was the previous Lao Huai Marquis and the father of the current Huai Emperor Huai Wuqi.
"According to Feng Yi's investigation, Huai Mingyuan intended to change course and rebuild, but unfortunately he fell into a trap. If it hadn't been for him, counting the time, Yinxu Lake would have been around for decades." Zhou Xuanwen said lightly.
Having said this, the smile on his face also faded, and there was no hesitation in the sarcasm in his eyes.
"Now that the world is about to undergo a great change, although the vitality is more abundant, over there, the Dao Ancestor can already come at will, and even the ten immortals can control it with their true body.
At this time, the Jiudu battlefield is no longer necessary. In fact, even if True Lord Montenegro had not come here, I would have chosen to withdraw from the defense line and switch from head-on confrontation to guerrilla harassment. Emperor Wen of Zhou said in a low voice.
"Guerrilla harassment?" Lin Mo felt inexplicably familiar.
"Yes, even though I vigorously promoted the so-called Category A selection a long time ago to gather the power of martial arts families, and then formed an alliance with the Sea Clan to eliminate the danger on land and sea.
But facing the other side after the sky changes, the frontal battlefield is still weak.
Only guerrilla harassment can delay time.
I am not afraid of the master's jokes. I was ready to leave Beijing a long time ago. Zhou Xuanwen said in a low voice.
This idea, even if he is really close to the minister, he does not directly describe it, at most he hints it through words.
As for the emperor, leaving the capital and running away was a shameful and humiliating thing, but his tone remained calm.
Lin Mo thought thoughtfully, "So a truce and alliance is equivalent to a different kind of delaying time."
"Yes, in fact, over the past eight hundred years, they have used various means more than once to convince us that we are in the same situation and can coexist as equals, and that they want us to give up resistance.
But living in harmony is just a self-deception thought by the weak.
But this time is different. First, there is someone like you who can make them extremely fearful. "Zhou Xuanwen looked at Lin Mo with burning eyes.
“Secondly, as far as I know, they should really be unable to withstand it.
Another powerful force in his mouth seemed to be coming soon, and they were afraid. "
As he spoke, he took out a jade volume from an empty stone ring that looked like a golden dragon's eye and handed it to Lin Mo.
"This is something given to me by True Lord Montenegro. It is a kind of basic material for the construction of an altar, related to their departure."
Lin Mo took it and started reading it casually.
The texture of the jade book is extraordinary, giving people a warm and moist feeling, just like the skin of a 28-year-old woman, and it has the effect of gathering the vitality of heaven and earth.
As Emperor Wen of Zhou said, there are many methods for building a method altar described in Qianyujie characters.
The altar is called Jianmu Zhouyu Formation, and it is very complicated.
It has over thirty pages of small fonts.
Lin Mo couldn't understand it at all.
As for the formation, he has no foundation.
But on the last page, someone briefly described it in Chixian characters.
'Use the building wood to attract the light of the universe, harness the energy of the Liuhe, penetrate the void and the underworld, and use the world as a mustard seed. '
This is a teleportation array.
Judging from its description, it can even be teleported across borders.
"Is there a specific time? When will this be built?" Lin Mo asked.
"It was originally expected that the construction would be completed before the weather changed, and it would be next year, but not long ago, the summons came and it needs to be moved three months in advance. It seems that something has happened." Zhou Xuanwen answered.
Intuition told Lin Mo that this so-called change should be related to the strange black spots that appeared when he fought with Changsheng Taoist in Shuzhou that day.
"Then what should I do when the time comes to teleport? Let's go together?" He thought for a moment and asked.
"That's what they said. I tried to find out where the other end of the teleportation array was, but the other party kept it secret.
Then six of the ten immortals came to Wangjing Tianqing Mountain one after another. Under the general trend, there was nothing more to say. "
However, he revealed a piece of news at the end, saying that not long after, we were discovered and all we faced was destruction.
You can only escape through the teleportation array. " Zhou Xuanwen replied.
"So what's the purpose of Brother Zhou coming to me?" Lin Mo asked, looking at the jade book in his hand.
"Know more, master more." The other party responded immediately.
“Whether it’s true or false, before this, we were the weaker side, but it’s different now.
You are here. "
Lin Mo didn't answer, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
For a moment, there was silence outside the hall.
There was only the sound of the banana leaves blown by the wind, and the smoke billowing upward from the burning spices in the incense burner in front.
Emperor Wen of Zhou was not impatient, but looked at Lin Mo quietly, waiting for an answer.
He had never interacted with the other party before.
But before coming here, I had already read through several volumes of files recording the other party's various deeds.
The content includes his deeds before joining the Lingtai Sect, and even his experience of using unique methods to hide his identity into the abyss and infiltrate the Shuilong clan.
Then a large number of intelligence talents were used to profile and analyze his character.
The biggest gain is knowing that although the person in front of me has a strange temperament, he is still relatively simple.
As long as you treat him well and comply with everything, even if you can't gain anything, you won't be persecuted.
"What can you give me? Or help me with something?" Lin Mo was silent for a while and finally spoke up. Ask for benefits directly.
"Resources, I can do my best to give you resources to make you stronger. I know that you have unique means and can use flaws, dragon gate seeds, and cave keys to become stronger.
I can give you all these things you want,
Believe me, over the hundreds of years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the accumulation has been unparalleled by outsiders. "Zhou Xuanwen meant something.
The outsider he was talking about was naturally Song Shiji.
"And...in addition to strength and resources, you should have other visions and chores to deal with. Although the Lingtai Sect is now very powerful, some details are not enough after all." Zhou Xuanwen took out a roll of yellow silk again.
"But the imperial court is different."
Lin Mo took the yellow silk and glanced at it casually, then his eyes trembled.
After two breaths of silence, put it away.
"I don't need the flaws now, but I need a lot of the Dragon Gate Seed and the Cave Heaven Key." He whispered.
"Don't worry, I will give you whatever I have here." Zhou Xuanwen replied.
Normally speaking, when a great sage empress enters the cave to practice, there is actually a need for dragon gate seeds and cave keys, but not much because it takes too long and it is impossible to enter the cave without interruption.
The other party is obviously different, it's almost like eating him as a meal.
He didn't understand the principle, but he could imagine the horror.
However, in the current situation, the stronger the opponent is, the more beneficial it is to him, Da Zhou, and Chi County.
"Yes, as long as there are enough Cave Heaven Keys, Dragon Gate Seeds, Ten Immortals or Nine Immortals, I can kill them all for you when I get the chance."
When Lin Mo heard this, he felt much better.
Back then, for a piece of Dragon Gate Seed and Cave Heaven Key, he had to waste a lot of effort and offend many people before he could gain anything.
But now, groups of people rushed to the door to deliver it to him.
Perhaps, with this, he can truly unravel the earth all the way to the end!
"However, I suggest that it is best not to alert the enemy. You can wait until I break through and kill them all. Killing one person first is not good." Lin Mo was silent for a long time and said softly.
"Of course, if Brother Zhou is really desperate, I can hunt down one person first, and it shouldn't be a big problem." He continued to talk to himself.
