The founder of all religions

In the shade of the moon and flowers, the faint fragrance flies north.

The flower house is intoxicating and the cicadas chirp with murderous intent.

The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, the sky is clear and clear, and the stars are twinkling.

Master Ji was drinking wine in [Tingyoutang] when he smelled a faint fragrance, which stirred people's hearts and made the blood dry and hot.

"Um!?"

If Master Ji felt something, he couldn't help but retract his gaze and turned around to look.

Xia Chan stepped on the golden lotus and walked slowly into the hall. Her makeup tonight was quite tight, her forehead was lightly covered, her bright eyes were bright, her lips were soft and delicate, she was delicate yet charming.

"I heard that a stunning beauty has come to [Huayin Tower]. It's better to meet her than to be famous." Master Ji chuckled, raised his glass to signal, and immediately drank the wine in the glass.

"Young Master is laughing at me, how can I be called stunning with my skin?" Xia Chanming whispered softly.

As she spoke, she looked at the wine bottle on Master Ji's desk, waved her hand and said, "Skylark, how can you entertain the young master with such vulgar wine? Change it to [Akadama Yaki]."

"yes."

The girl in colorful clothes next to her took a deep look at Master Ji and stood up to change her drink.

"There is no need to change the wine... You and I are not here to drink." Master Ji raised his hand and held down the wine bottle.

Seeing this, Skylark looked at Xia Chanming, who nodded, and Skylark stepped aside.

"Then why did the young master come here?"

"Beauty, aren't you asking questions knowingly?" Master Ji chuckled and said, "Don't you know what kind of business you are doing when you open the door?"

"The business at Huayinlou is different from other places. People who come here want different things, so what they can get here is naturally different."

As she spoke, Xia Cicada turned around and walked towards the shrine above the main hall, where a dead tree branch was enshrined.

"What you want is different? Of course you are here to have fun." Master Ji said calmly.

"Others may be, but the young master is not..." Xia Chanming walked to the shrine and burned incense to worship.

"I see that the young master has an extraordinary demeanor and lingers in the wind and moon, but his heart is not here. Just like the bright moon, appearing in the night, but revealing the light. Mortals often see it, but it is just a confusion."

The words fell slightly, but the incense in the stove was already lit. With a clear mind and a calm mind, the hot and sultry aroma just now was completely suppressed.

"Everything you see is confusing?" Master Ji narrowed his eyes slightly: "The beauty is indeed not a beauty..."

As he spoke, his eyes moved slightly and fell on the dead wood branch enshrined on the shrine.

"What's this?"

Master Ji knows that each of the three hundred and sixty rows has its own rules and taboos.

In the Land of Wind and Moon, peach blossom fairies or fox fairies are often enshrined, hoping that the peach blossoms will stay forever, charm all living beings, and have a steady stream of benefactors. In the future, they will seek positive results and be able to get rid of this worldly desire as soon as possible.

But this is the first time I have seen such an offering of dead wood branches.

"Young master, don't you know?" Xia Chanming worshiped sincerely without looking back.

Master Ji was stunned for a moment and then said: "When I was a child, I saw an ancient book in my father's study called [The Enlightenment of Immortals]. It was quite interesting. There was a record in it."

"Appreciate further details."

In ancient times, there was a wealthy businessman in Caoguan County. Shortly after his marriage, he was accidentally injured. His life was damaged and he could no longer explore the secret of the reproduction of life.

The businessman was quite wealthy. He had sought out many good doctors and taken many medicines, but he still couldn't get up.

Later, an old man passed by this place and left a dead tree for the businessman. The branches and leaves were withered and the roots were withered.

The old Taoist said that this is the root of immortality, which controls the yang energy in the world. As long as it is enshrined and worshiped day and night, the wealthy businessman may spread its branches and leaves and renew the incense.

From then on, the merchant burned three incense sticks in the morning and evening and offered three animals as offerings, day and night, and the old Taoist settled down.

Everyone thought the businessman was crazy and believed a liar.

Who would have thought that three months later, the wealthy businessman's wife would become pregnant.

At this point, Master Ji smiled knowingly and looked at the dead branches: "Could it be that the beauty enshrines the roots that control Yang Qi?"

"Positive……"

Xia Chanming was about to speak but stopped, and then smiled lightly: "Where in this world is there a romantic place where you can worship something that makes you pregnant?"

Amid the curls of incense, Xia Chan turned around, and in the void, her appearance became more stunning and alluring.

"Master, have you ever heard of cicada sloughing?"

"Cicada shed!?" Master Ji was slightly stunned, confused as to what he meant.

"Before the cicada metamorphoses, it will cling to a vibrant branch. Once the metamorphosis begins, it will draw nutrients from that branch. When it sheds its old shell and is reborn, the branch will turn into dead wood."

Xia Cicada looked at the dead wood branches behind her and said quietly: "Each dead wood symbolizes the rebirth of the cicada."

"Huh!?" Master Ji became even more confused after hearing this.

Huayin Tower is a place for hanging fences, what does it have to do with this cicada shed! ?

"More than nine hundred years ago, Shenzong destroyed the Dharma and killed the [Nine Treasure Spirit Cicada] lineage. Thousands of miles away in Xia Yang Mountain, not even a blade of grass grows, and all the green shade turns into scorched earth..."

At this moment, Xia Chanming changed the topic, and there was a hint of coldness in her indifferent voice. Even Skylark next to her looked at Master Ji with an unkind expression.

"Back then, all the masters of the [Nine Treasure Lingchan] lineage were killed. When Shenzong decreed the title of Zhennan King, he used the bodies of twenty-eight golden cicadas to make the [Zhenhai King Golden Crown] as a royal gift and gave it to Zhennan. The palace is passed down from generation to generation as a sign of heaven’s grace.”

Xia Chan's chirping voice became louder and louder, and her cold eyes were like hooks, staring at Master Ji.

"As the prince of Zhennan, the young master should have seen this treasure."

"Who are you?"

Master Ji's expression completely darkened. If he couldn't see anything wrong at this time, he would be really a fool.

"Your Majesty, can't you guess it?" Xia Chanming said calmly.

"Guixu...Nine Treasure Lingchan!?" Master Ji frowned, thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty is indeed smart."

Xia Chanming smiled lightly, she spread her jade hands lightly, and the incense all over her body was extinguished, but the dead wood she enshrined was full of life and vitality.

"Guixu's methods are really powerful, hiding them so deeply."

Master Ji's eyes fell. He himself is a master of [Living in the Miao Realm], and being able to hide it from his eyes and ears, making him unable to notice the slightest difference, shows that the cultivation level of the woman in front of him is far above him, at least as good as It's a fourth-level spirit demon, or even a fifth-level spirit demon.

"I haven't gone to find you yet, but you took the initiative to send me to my door."

Rumble…

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Ji moved. The spiritual energy in his body was like burning, burning fiercely. The terrifying power even tore the flesh and blood of his legs apart.

The speed brought by such power can be imagined.

"Jiang Hai chases the waves!?" Xia Chanming saw it at a glance.

This movement technique is secretly passed down by the Zhennan Prince's Palace. It is said to be derived from a technique created by the world's number one demon catcher [Jiang Wuyao].

Once this method is practiced, the spiritual energy in the body is like a huge wave in the river and sea, penetrating through the limbs and bones. The body rises suddenly and disappears like a torrent chasing the waves. The vast ocean is no longer elusive. It is really the best in the world to escape for one's life. Dharma door.

There is a rule in Zhennan Prince's Mansion that all disciples who enter the realm of spiritual breath will start practicing [Jianghai gradually waves away], because the ancestral precepts say that learning to escape is the way to settle down and live a life.

The speed that Master Ji unleashed could not be endured even by the body of [Living in the Miao Realm]. It was so fast and violent that one can imagine.

The dripping blood evaporated instantly at a furious speed.

At this moment, Master Ji couldn't care less about the pressure and damage his body was suffering. He knew very well that he had no chance of winning against this woman. His only chance of survival was in this blink of an eye. Even if he risked half his life, as long as he could leave this small building, He escaped and ascended to heaven.

Buzz…

Almost at the same moment, Master Ji's figure suddenly stopped. He was suspended in mid-air, as if controlled by an invisible force, and even the steaming blood mist condensed in front of his eyes.

"Spiritual realm... fifth-level spirit demon!?"

Master Ji's heart skipped a beat, as the thing he was most worried about happened.

The spiritual realm, this large-scale power can not only change the environment, but can even affect all existing materials, including life itself.

No matter how fast Master Ji is, as long as he is in Xia Chanming's spiritual realm, he cannot escape those "eyes" and cannot get out of this cage.

This is the most terrifying place for a strong person with [Spirit Realm].

Facing this kind of power, even Master Ji is nothing more than an ant.

"Your Majesty, do you still want to escape?"

Xia Chanming smiled slightly, and the invisible spiritual realm suddenly dissipated.

Master Ji suddenly fell to the ground with a dull sound, and scarlet blood surged out from his legs.

"You might as well try again." Xia Chanming said calmly.

"Senior sister is a master who has cultivated the spiritual realm. Even if you stand here and don't move, you can't escape."

Yunque looked at Master Ji with a sneer on his face, and said coldly: "Senior sister, kill him... If the crown prince of Zhennan Prince dies in the capital, Emperor Qian and King Zhennan will definitely have a rift. By then..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Chanming raised her hand to interrupt and shook her head, denying the proposal.

"Why?" Yunque asked puzzledly: "What's the use of keeping his life?"

"I have received definite information that the Blood River Demon Fetus is in the hands of King Zhennan. With this single seedling of his, I am not afraid that he will not submit."

Xia Chanming looked at Master Ji indifferently: "He is worth more alive than dead."

"I understand, senior sister has a wonderful plan." Yunque nodded.

"You are alive only because you are the son of King Zhennan."

"Pierce his pipa bones first and lock him up." Xia Chanming said casually.

To deal with Master Ji's level of cultivation [living in the Miao Realm], no matter how talented you are, no matter how mysterious your skills are, she still has no trouble, and it's even easy for her to crush an ant to death.

"I will greet him well."

Skylark understood, nodded and chuckled, and walked towards Master Ji who was lying in a pool of blood.

"The word "sex" has a knife on your head...Old Ji, you are in danger of meeting an immortal."

At this moment, a loud sound came from the Gilded River, and under the moonlight, a figure was seen riding on the waves. In a blink of an eye, it was like a strong wind, blowing into the Huayin Tower, and standing in front of Master Ji.

"Damn it, I let you pretend again."

Master Ji raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Who could it be if it wasn't Li Mo? ?

"Huh? Go to Miao Realm!"

Xia Chanming was stunned for a moment when she saw someone breaking in. With just one glance, she could see Li Mo's cultivation.

At such an age, with such a level of cultivation, he was considered outstanding even in the capital city, not to mention that she felt a strange aura from Li Mo, like a fog in the dark night, which was impossible to detect.

This is something that Xia Chanming has never experienced since she entered the fifth-level spirit demon realm.

After all, the person standing in front of her was just a small [Shangmiao Realm] human being.

"Monster, if you step on the horse, you will die..."

At this moment, Master Ji seemed to have gained confidence again when he saw Li Mo. He jumped up with a "scratch", his back straighter than before.

"You're riding a horse and you don't even know where this place is... at the feet of the emperor, the land of king's law. Why don't you ride a horse and play fairy dance with me?"

Master Ji laughed coldly, and his arrogant gaze swept over Xia Chanming and Yunque like a knife.

Faced with such momentum, Xia Chanming couldn't help but frown.

This is the capital after all, and if the masters of Xuantian Pavilion are alerted, they will definitely not be able to leave.

Master Ji seemed to sense Xia Chanming's worry, and asked Li Mo with a smile: "Old Li, how many people did you bring here?"

"Only me."

The air suddenly became terrifyingly quiet, and the smile on Master Ji's face gradually solidified. He looked at Li Mo with an extremely incomprehensible, even complaining look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Who is going to ride around the brothel and lead all the people? Are you going to visit?"

Li Mo seemed to have been greatly wronged and retorted.

"you……"

Master Ji's eyes widened, like a deflated rubber ball, his throat squirmed, and he didn't know what to say.

That's a fifth-level spirit demon, a master with a spiritual domain. Why are you here alone?

"I was laughing so hard. I thought some big shot was coming, but it turned out there was just one more person who was going to die."

Yunque laughed so hard that his branches trembled with laughter, and the look he looked at Li Mo even showed a hint of sympathy.

"Li Mo... I know your name. You are a new member of the Hong Clan and a descendant of the Black Sword... I originally wanted to take you back this time."

A different kind of brilliance appeared in Xia Chanming's eyes. She was not unfamiliar with Li Mo at all.

Obviously, he has already entered Guixu's sight.

"Damn it, if I had known that it would be better for me to die alone than for everyone to die together." Master Ji gritted his teeth.

"Do you really think I'm dead?"

At this moment, Li Mo glared at him, took off his robe, moved his wrist, and walked out slowly.

"You...what are you going to do?" Master Ji was stunned.

At this moment, even Xia Chanming couldn't help but show a strange look.

"You want to challenge me?"

"Challenge?" Li Mo shook his head: "I just want to weigh in on you..."

Rumble…

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, terrifying thunder suddenly shot up in Huayin Tower, and the dome instantly shattered.

"So fast!"

Skylark's expression suddenly changed, he couldn't believe it.

In an instant, Li Mo seemed to turn into a ball of thunder and disappeared from his sight. The terrifying power fell like a mountain of Xumi, accompanied by the bright thunder, coming from behind Xia Chanming.

Such terrifying speed, such explosive power... Even Master Ji was stunned on the spot, unable to react.

He just vaguely saw a ball of purple thunder and lightning emerging behind Xia Chanming. In a daze, the two figures seemed to collide with each other.

"What a great thunder method. You are worthy of being a new member of Hongmen... It's a pity that you are too weak."

Xia Chanming stood still, not even looking back. Everything seemed to be under her control.

Buzz…

At this moment, an invisible force spread like a tide, and purple thunder light instantly dispersed in Li Mo's palm.

"Spiritual realm!?"

Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly. This time, he felt the power of the spiritual realm from almost zero distance.

At the moment of being propped up, the surrounding environment seemed to have become a part of Xia Chanming's body, filled with her life breath and imprint.

In an instant, Li Mo felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea. The endless torrent was rushing towards him. The pressure around him was getting stronger and stronger. The despair and powerlessness seemed to be like darkness, and it was about to drown him.

In the face of this power, any struggle is in vain.

boom……

The next moment, Li Mo flew out, smashed through the wall heavily, and was swallowed up by the ruins and smoke.

"If you haven't entered the [Pulse Miao Realm], how dare you go against your senior sister?" Yunque sneered.

Buzz…

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying sword light shot out from the smoke and pierced Skylark's head directly.

Scarlet blood mixed with white liquid splashed all over the floor. Skylark's eyes widened, and he never saw the figure in the smoke clearly until his death.

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

In the scattered smoke and dust, Li Mo walked slowly. His clothes were torn, and the terrifying sword energy in his eyes had not been completely dissipated.

"you wanna die!"

Xia Chanming's face suddenly darkened, and she finally felt murderous.

Seeing this, Li Mo took out the [Blood Pill] refined by Yang Xingba from his arms and swallowed it into his belly. The potency of a hundred Pure Yang Pills was instantly dissolved.

"The Eighty-nine Mysterious Gong Changes, the Vajra is indestructible!"

Li Mo whispered softly, and the divine voice in his body trembled, like ancient bells ringing in unison, shaking the sky and night.
