On the night of the same day, at the time of the third watch (23:00-01:00 for the third watch), outside the dry sky city.

Under the cold light of the winter moon, a black-fledged carriage with lights slowly drove towards a cold river shrouded in mist, and then stopped at a ferry that looked to have been abandoned for many years.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a handsome boy dressed in a black plain robe and looking like a scholar jumped out of the carriage.

It was Lin Mo.

Lin Mo got out of the carriage and instructed the two heroic men holding swords in the car: "Rest the wind, Qiu Yun, you two are waiting here, don't get close, you know?"

Xi Feng Qiu Yun bowed and said, "Yes, Sect Master!"

After giving the order to calm the wind and clouds, Lin Mo walked slowly towards the dock, walked into the thick mist, and after walking seventy-two steps, he saw a white shadow looming in front of him.

Seeing the white shadow in front of him, Lin Mo stopped, and after bowing with both hands, he slowly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said solemnly: "Master, the apprentice is back!"

The white shadow waved its wide sleeve slightly, and the fog slowly dissipated.

An old man in white with snow-white hair and fairy bones was sitting alone at the head of the river, holding a black bamboo fishing rod in his left hand and a black wine gourd in his right hand.

After pouring a sip of wine into his mouth, the old man in white glanced at the full moon on his head, did not look back at Lin Mo, and said lightly: "The moon is full, are you finally willing to come back?"

"I'm back!" Lin Mo raised his head, straightened up, and replied softly.

The old man in white carried the wine gourd and wanted to pour a sip of wine into his mouth, but he couldn't pour it out: "The teacher's wine is finished, does Yong'er have any wine?"

Lin Mo, the word Ziyong, this word was taken by the old man in white for Lin Mo.

Lin Mo took out a small black wine gourd from his sleeve, held it in both hands and presented it to the old man in white, and said, "Master, this is the moon brew that the apprentice brewed for you. ”

Brewed in the month, the immortal product in the wine, consuming thousands of catties of grain, it took one month to brew such a twelve taels of wine in Lin Mo's hands, and the aroma of the wine could overflow within a radius of three miles.

The old man in white opened the wine gourd, and immediately the fragrance overflowed, and even the fish in the cold river smelled the fragrance, and they all surfaced, wanting to taste the fairy product in this wine.

The old man in white took a sip and suddenly felt relaxed: "Yong'er, your wine-making skills have not regressed in the slightest, okay, the ground is cold, get up!"

As he spoke, the old man in white dropped a drop of moon brew into the river water, and the fish suddenly fought frantically, wanting to dominate the river water stained with moon brew.

Lin Mo smiled lightly and said, "Master, you are sitting, the apprentice should be kneeling!"

"That's okay, if you're tired from kneeling, just sit down like a teacher!" The old man in white had no way to take Lin Mo, and after taking a sip of the moon brew again, he asked, "How many steps did the apprentice take this time?"

"Seventy-two steps!"

The old man in white smiled slightly, with a look of reminiscence on his kind face, and said: "Yong'er was nine years old when he left as a teacher, walked one hundred and seven steps, and came back fourteen years later, walked seventy-two steps, and really grew into an adult!"

Fifteen years ago, on the night of the slaughter of the Lin Mansion, it was this old man in white who saved Lin Mo's life outside Qiantian City, who was about to die of hunger and cold, and carefully taught Lin Mo all kinds of skills.

It is precisely these skills that have led to today's Lin Mo.

The old man in white, no name, no surname, and no words, because he likes to be under the moon, sits alone on the river drinking and fishing, calling himself the old man under the moon, and explains that it is the meaning of the old man under the moon.

When he was nine years old, Lin Mo tried to choose a name for him, but the old man under the moon refused with a smile, saying that they were just symbols of life, so why care, he liked this "old man under the moon" even more.

"What are Yong'er's plans to come back with Emperor Daqian this time?" asked the old man under the moon.

"First, find out the murderer behind the murder of more than 238 people under my Lin Mansion fifteen years ago. Saying that, the look on Lin Mo's face turned from sad to solemn, and he said: "Second, I want to be a chess player, the next game of chess!"

"Yong'er, you are from another world, and your chess skills are already extraordinary, who are you going to play against in this game of chess?" Lin Mo's tragic life experience, the old man under the moon knows very clearly, including the fact that Lin Mo is a traverser.

"Naturally, it's everyone in this Zhongzhou Continent!" When he said this, Lin Mo's tone was very light, but it was as if the world was in the palm of his hand.

Listening to Lin Mo's breezy words, the old man under the moon took another sip of the moon brew and asked with a smile, "What does Yong'er plan to use as your pawn?"

Lin Mo said lightly: "Naturally, the beings of this Zhongzhou Continent are the chess pieces!"

"Is that a teacher in Yong'er's chess game?" asked the old man under the moon again.

Lin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "How can a disciple have such an ability, put you into the chess game, you are naturally the one who is free from the game." ”

"Has the chess game begun?" asked the old man under the moon again.

"It's already started. Lin Mo nodded: "Today's apprentice has just lost his first son." ”

"Where?"

"Tian Yuan!"

"That's a bad move!"

"I think so, too!hahaha-"

"Stinky boy's voice is quieter, don't scare away my fish!"

"Master, have you ever caught a fish in the past fourteen years?"

"No, hahaha-"

"That's because you never use bait. ”

“......”

On the third day, around 6 a.m.

Because he was going to the court today, Lin Mo got up early.

Bai Zhilan, who was dressed in a blue gauze robe, asked with a smile while putting on a crown dress for Lin Mo: "Husband is going to the court today, are you ready to deal with the overtures and solicitations of the Hou Party and the Rong Party?"

Lin Mo yawned sleepily, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Show goodwill! Naturally, it will continue, as for solicitation, it depends on which one gives the more generous price, and they have to think about it for a while!"

Lin Mo's words fell, Bai Zhilan also put on a crown dress for Lin Mo, Lin Mo smiled slightly, kissed Bai Zhilan lightly on the side of the face, looked at Baili Allure who was sleeping sweetly on the bed, and said: "When our little lazy pig gets up, punish her for copying the Women's Sutra!"

Bai Zhilan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Allure knows that she can't get up, so she copied the women's scripture last night and put it on the table." ”

"Then forget it!" Lin Mowan smiled, walked to the side of the bed, kissed lightly on the pretty jade face of the sleeping Baili Allure, then got up and walked a few steps, picked up the female scripture copied by Baili Allure and read it.

After a few breaths, Lin Mo put the female scripture into his sleeve and said, "When our little lazy pig wakes up, tell her that she is a little less determined to cut gold and jade." ”

Tie the snow cloak for Lin Mo, Bai Zhilan nodded and said, "Okay, husband." ”

"Okay, Zhilan, you've worked hard, go get some sleep. Lin Mo kissed Bai Zhilan's side face again and walked out of the inner room.

The twenty-three-year-old Lin Mo has a wife and two concubines, the wife is beautiful and tough, she is a typical strong woman, the second lady Bai Zhilan is noble and elegant, and the third lady is charming and playful.

The three girls have their own customs and thousands of years, so Lin Mo, as a young man with three good Chinese people, crossed into this world and was accompanied by three beauties, and he loved them very much.

Out of the inner room, to the front yard, Ding Bo, who was directing the servants to clear the snow, hurriedly walked over, and Lin Mo handed him the female scripture copied by Baili Alluring City.

"Let's put it in!"

After that, Lin Mo continued to go out of the house.

"Yes, Sect Master. After Ding Bo said respectfully, he held the Hundred Miles Allure copied by the city in both hands, bypassed a few long corridors, and walked towards the Treasure Pavilion in the mansion.

In front of the Treasure Pavilion, five guards stood with swords.

Ding Bo walked to the front of the five people, and said respectfully to a leader-like guard: "Lord Yu Ban, this is the female scripture copied by Mrs. Allure!"

Yu Ban nodded, took out the key from his arms, opened the door of the Treasure Pavilion, and said respectfully: "Ding Bo, please!"

Ding Bo walked in, and his eyes were full of all kinds of rare treasures.

A large number of pearl agate, jade and jade are displayed on the shelves at will, and there are not a few rare classics and weapons on the shelves, but the most conspicuous of them is a small box in the middle of the Treasure Pavilion!

Ding Bo stepped forward to open the small box, and the small box was full of women's scriptures, which seemed to be from the same person's hand, but each one was slightly different.

After putting the female scripture copied by Baili Allure into it, and after covering the box, Ding Bo didn't dare to stay longer, so he retreated.

In front of the gate of the Lin Mansion.

"Sect Master!"

Waiting at the main gate, Xi Feng and Qiu Yun, who were both holding a delicate long sword, saw Lin Mo come out slowly, took a few steps forward, and saluted respectfully.

Lin Mo nodded, and the four horses and silver horses that only Shangqing was qualified to ride were given by Emperor Daqian, and Xi Feng and Qiu Yun, who were holding swords, also sat on it, driving for Lin Mo in front.

In the envious eyes of the people, the four horses and silver horses slowly passed through the Suzaku Gate, driving on the Suzaku Heavenly Street, and after passing through the Suzaku Heavenly Street, the four horses and silver horses drove through the Qingwu Heavy (zhòng) gate that belonged to the imperial palace and palace city.

From the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Street, to the Taiji Temple where the Emperor Daqian and the ministers discussed politics, there are three gates, the first is the Qingwu Gate, the second is the Qiankun Heavenly Gate, and the last is the Taiji Holy Gate.

The three gates were all guarded by the Great Qian Emperor, the most trusted forbidden army.

There are three gates in the east and west of the Qingwu Heavy Gate, the east side is for the ministers to pass, the middle is for the emperor to travel, and the west side of the gate is for the emperor and nobles to walk, so Lin Mo's four horses and silver horses are entered by the east gate.

Not long after passing through the east gate of the Qingwu Heavy Gate, the four horses and silver horses drove through the Qiankun Heavenly Gate again, and finally slowly approached the last Taiji Holy Gate.

The four horses and silver horses drove to the Taiji Holy Gate, and a middle-aged man in brown and red armor waved his hand to stop him: "Lord Shangqing in the car, please stop, there is a holy place in front of the palace, it is forbidden for guards and carriages to enter, please get out of the car and walk!"

The middle-aged man looks like he is about forty years old, his figure is a little thin, but his physique can be regarded as strong, with a faint yin color in his dark eyes, and his breath can be regarded as restrained.

Hearing this, Lin Mo lifted the curtain of the car, and then, with the support of the wind, he got off the four horses and silver horses.

After getting off the four horses, Lin Mo felt the cold wind coming on his face, his body shivered, and he folded his hands and hid them in his sleeves.

Looking at Lin Mo in Shangqing's crown suit, a hint of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, maybe he didn't expect that Lin Mo would be ranked in a position like Shangqing at such a young age.

Glancing at the middle-aged man with a little meaning, Lin Mo walked towards the front Taiji Temple, and Xi Feng and Qiu Yun also followed behind Lin Mo.

Seeing Xifeng and Qiu Yun walking in with their swords, the middle-aged man grabbed the two of them and stopped them again: "Two guards, the front is the holy place of the palace, it is forbidden to enter, and you two are still carrying swords, and you can't enter, please go to the side to rest and wait for Lord Shangqing to go down." ”

Xi Feng and Qiu Yun ignored the middle-aged man's obstruction, moved a step to both sides, followed behind Lin Mo, and continued to walk towards the Taiji Temple.

Seeing Xifeng and Qiu Yun, he ignored himself, but continued to walk towards the palace, the middle-aged man's face was cold, and he ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to say: "The two guards who stopped Lord Shangqing and invited them to the side hall to rest." ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's command, a team of forbidden soldiers drew out the long swords at their waists, and with a faint look, they surrounded the two of them.

Facing the forbidden army soldiers who surrounded them, Xi Feng and Qiu Yun didn't make any moves, just followed behind Lin Mo, and when the forbidden army soldiers approached Xi Feng and Qiu Yun, everyone was instantly shocked to the ground by an invisible force.

"Ten Feet Martial Domain, Great Sword Master. The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw the soldiers of the forbidden army who were shocked to the ground.

Within ten feet of the Great Sword Master is a forbidden place, and it is also the invincible range of the Great Sword Master, if someone who does not know whether he is alive or dead rashly breaks in, he will be instantly torn into pieces by the Great Sword Master's sword qi.

And this invincible range within ten feet of the Great Sword Master is the Martial Domain, which is called the Ten Feet Martial Domain because it can cover a radius of ten feet.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was very glad that Fang Cai and Qiu Yun had not launched a ten-foot martial domain against him, otherwise he would have died when he approached to stop the two of them.

After the shock, the middle-aged man hurriedly amplified his voice and shouted to the soldiers of the forbidden army in the rear: "Get out of the way quickly, let the two great sword masters enter." ”

The Great Sword Master, as a Great Cultivator, is the supreme combat power of the Zhongzhou Continent, and has always been respected by the royal family, and has the honorable honor of bringing a sword into the palace.

The sword is equivalent to the second life of the cultivators of the Zhongzhou Continent, especially for a great cultivator like the Great Sword Master, if they want to untie the sword, it is equivalent to insulting them.

However, the Great Sword Master can enter the Taiji Holy Gate with a sword, but he cannot enter the Taiji Holy Temple, which is the Great Sword Master's respect for the emperor's supreme status.

The emperor has given you the honor of great swordsman, but at the same time, your great swordsman must also respect me, the emperor is not.

Just as Lin Mo and the three of them entered, a four-horse golden horse stopped on one side, and a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous crown and wearing eight royal pearls and gold crowns on his head walked down.

After getting off the Four Horses Golden Horse, this middle-aged man, under the escort of a middle-aged man with a sword, walked up to the middle-aged man in brown and red armor and said, "Deputy Commander Quan Qing, who is the person who just entered, there are actually two great sword masters guarding him." ”

Dressed in maroon armor, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, Quan Qing bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Huirong, the lower officials don't know, I just know that this person is ranked as the secretary at a young age, and his status is very noble." ”

This middle-aged man in a gorgeous crown dress is none other than the younger brother of Emperor Daqian, King Rong, who holds great power and confronts the Hou Party, Ji Guang.

"I see!" King Rong nodded thoughtfully, and then walked towards the Taiji Temple with a middle-aged man in plain clothes with a sword beside him.

Quan Qing didn't stop the middle-aged man with the sword, because the middle-aged man with the sword was the personal guard of the powerful King Rong, and he was also a great cultivator in the realm of a great sword master.

Walking on the road, King Rong asked the middle-aged man beside him softly, "Di Wu, what do you think of that young man just now, who do you think he is?"

Di Wu smiled faintly and said: "I watched the young man from a distance just now, he is like an ordinary person, there is no trace of vitality fluctuation in his body, it should be the legendary Mo Sect Master who is known for his literature, Lin Mo." ”

Mo Sect, Moon Sect, and Lei Sect are the three peak sects in the Zhongzhou Continent, and there are countless cultivators in the sect, but this Mo Sect is extremely special, because according to rumors in the world, Lin Mo, the sect leader of the Mo Sect, has never practiced, but gathered the Mo Sect with unparalleled wisdom.

Yuan Qi wanders between heaven and earth, and the practitioner absorbs the Yuan Qi and enters the Qi Sea and Snow Mountain in the body to improve and break through the limits of the body, and then improve the realm.

"It turns out that he is the one who helped the Yan Kingdom with supreme wisdom and broke the 100,000 elite army of Beidi. King Rong smiled slightly and said, "My imperial brother actually invited him down the mountain, it's really amazing!"

"Then what are we going to do? Di Wu asked: "This Mo Sect Master is not easy to deal with, although he has not cultivated, but he is always accompanied by two great sword masters, us?"

King Rong pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "Let's try to win him over first, if he doesn't know how to lift, we will find another opportunity to kill him, although he is the sect master of the Mo Sect, but he has not practiced, we can always find an opportunity, in short, we must not let him be used by my imperial brother or the queen mother." ”

"If the people of the Mo Sect retaliate, what can we do?" Di Wu was a little worried.

This Mo Sect is one of the three peak sects, and there are thousands of powerful cultivators in the sect, and if it is retaliated, no one can withstand it.

"What are you afraid of, aren't there still two major sects on this continent, and besides, we still have an army in our hands!" King Rong smiled faintly, his cheeks were full of confidence, showing the indifference and calm of the superior.

Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

At this moment, Lin Mo, who was at the forefront of the courtiers on the left, was sitting on the ground, supporting his head with his right hand, asleep, there was no way, Lin Mo really didn't sleep enough today.

When he was in Huaxia, Lin Mo got up at nine o'clock, and now he has to get up at six o'clock to go to work, and last night, Lin Mo was tossed by the two beautiful concubines in the family for an hour, so he was really tired.

It is disrespectful to fall asleep in the Taiji Temple, if others do so, they will definitely suffer criticism and impeachment from the courtiers, but no one dares to criticize Lin Mo.

There are two reasons for this.

The first is that these courtiers are just outside the hall, but when they see Xi Feng and Qiu Yun holding swords following Lin Mo, they can enter the Taiji Holy Gate with swords, but they are all great swordsmen.

The facial features of the Great Sword Master are extremely sensitive, and a hundred steps away, they can take everyone's head with the sword, they must not dare to provoke Lin Mo.

The second is that Lin Mo is a Shangqing, his status is respected, and he is also out of the reach of unusual courtiers, in the Daqian Empire, plus Lin Mo, there are only two Shangqing in total.

The only ones whose identities can be higher than Lin Mo and the other two ministers are King Rong, the emperor and the queen mother.

Lin Mo had just slept for a while, and the graceful and generous King Rong marched into the palace and greeted the courtiers under his command in the palace.

At this moment, King Rong is very humble, and his demeanor is also polite, full of the appearance of a virtuous prince.

After greeting the courtiers under his command, King Rong noticed Lin Mo who was sitting on the ground and dozing, and said in his heart: This Mo Sect Master is really a great talent.

All the great talents are acting strangely, such as Lin Mo, who now dares to sleep in the Taiji Temple.

About a quarter of an hour later, the golden chime outside the hall sounded softly, and the eunuch of the ceremonial ceremony pulled Yagong Sang and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, and the ministers are calling." ”

The hall where the original discussion was originally discussed was suddenly quiet, and everyone stood up according to the etiquette, and Lin Mo was startled by the sound of the golden chime and the duck Gongsang of the eunuch, trembling all over, and hurriedly stood up.

Sensing that there seemed to be saliva from the corner of his mouth, Lin Mo took out a towel from his arms and wiped it, and saw that King Rong was looking at him, Lin Mo smiled at him.

After Emperor Daqian, who was dressed in a Ming and yellow dragon robe, sat down on the dragon chair in the hall, Lin Mofang followed all the courtiers and performed the mountain salute.

Although King Rong held great power, he was no exception, and he also followed the courtiers to perform the mountain salute.
