Chapter 160: Xuantian Pavilion Assessment! The Bath Emperor's Declaration (2-in-1)
Late at night, Jianghai Villa.
This is one of the most luxurious courtyards in Longyuan Mansion, covering an area of 1,200 acres, which can be described as magnificent and beautiful.
Only the Taihu stones in the yard are mined and transported from the south of the Yangtze River, which is valuable and costly.
The small lake in the center of the courtyard is also artificially hewn, taking the water of the three lakes of Longhu, Changshan and Boyang.
It is said that this [Lingxin Lake] alone cost more than 100,000 silver.
"Jianghai Villa...... One of the top ten mansions in Longyuan Mansion, I have only seen it in the tabloids in the past."
Li Mo stood in the rockery pavilion, overlooking the scenery in the courtyard.
The bright moon hung alone, reflected in the middle of the lake, and a koi with silver scales and black back jumped out of the water, stirring up ripples and spreading, and the ripples crushed the moon shadow.
"This world is like this, ordinary people can only see the world in the tabloids, but now you can experience it for yourself."
Chen Wangdu looked at the burning stove, and directly untied the lid of the silver kettle with his hands, the white gas rose, and the boiling tea sizzled.
"Sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Back then, he saw the so-called "Top Ten Mansions of Longyuan Mansion" in the tabloids, and he was only about thirteen or fourteen years old.
At that time, the mountains were poor, and even the jailers had not yet become prisoners, and they ate coarse grains every day, and only a little meat every once in a while, and they were all some meat.
However, the children of the gate lords of Longyuan Mansion can live in such a mansion, there are servants in and out, there are shabby exchanges and exchanges, and the silver squandered every day does not know how many poor people's lives can be bought.
Now, Li Mo is also able to stand in this mansion, climb the mountain and look into the distance, like a guest.
"This house is considered the property of the Xuantian Pavilion, and this time I came to preside over the assessment, so I will temporarily live here."
"No wonder, it turned out to be the handiwork of the Xuantian Pavilion, and I still think it is the Lin family's property." Li Mo said with a smile.
He is not familiar with Longyuan Mansion, he only knows that the Lin family is the famous gate valve of Longyuan Mansion, and its industry is not counted, it can be said that the family has a huge amount of money, involving all walks of life.
Even the largest fireworks place in Longyuan Mansion [Exquisite Ancient Building] mentioned by Feng Wannian earlier has a share of the Lin family.
"The Lin family? Local chaebol...... Even if they had the strength, they wouldn't have the courage to build such a manor compound." Chen Wangdu said with a smile.
Even if there is the wealth of the enemy country, if it is too presumptuous, dare to show off its wealth and extravagance, and spend extravagantly...... There is a great sin in the imperial court, which is specially tailored for these gate lords and wealthy merchants.
This grave sin is called transgression.
All things are born with their own place, and if they are not placed correctly, they can only return to heaven and earth.
Whether you are rich, powerful, or powerful, and can't play by my rules, then you don't play.
This is the law of the imperial court.
This is the majesty of imperial power.
"No wonder." Li Mo showed a sudden expression.
Among the top ten mansions in Longyuan Mansion, the Lin family's [Dry Mountain Courtyard] is also ranked third, and it cannot be compared with [Jianghai Courtyard] in terms of land occupation or scale.
"Senior, didn't you say that once you become a disciple of Xuantian Pavilion, you will enter the capital and eat and live?"
Li Mo turned around, his eyes lit up, and suddenly asked, "Will I be able to get a suite?"
….
"Young people, live transparently, and know the truth that only when there is a house can there be a home." Chen Wangdu smiled, raised the teacup, and blew the hot air: "What kind of house do you want?"
"I think it's a good one." Li Mo pointed to the Jianghai Courtyard at his feet.
Poof......
Chen Wangdu's hand shook, the tea in his mouth almost squirted out, and even the cup was almost not steady.
"Do you know how expensive housing prices are in Beijing? How much is this house worth if it moves to the capital?"
Chen Wangdu rolled his eyes, revealing a strange look.
The housing prices in the capital are almost ten times that of Longyuan Mansion.
The cost of Jianghai Villa is already expensive, if you move to the capital, Jane
Straight is sky-high.
The most important thing is that not everyone is qualified to live in such a luxurious estate.
As the old saying goes, the yin house is about the descendants, and the yang house shows the present people, and the people who can live in this kind of house are either rich or expensive, and the foundation is not ordinarily thick.
"Didn't you say that if you become a disciple of Xuantian Pavilion, you can get a suite?" Li Mo asked.
He is now a disciple of the Xuantian Pavilion, and this is the welfare he deserves.
"That can't be the case." Chen Wangdu looked at Li Mo with a strange expression.
Even if it is him, the house he lives in the capital is only two in and two out, and there are only seven bedrooms.
"Senior, I haven't seen much of the world, just ask casually, it's good to have nature, and I can accept the second."
Li Mo grinned lightly and sat down in front of Chen Wangdu with a golden knife on his shoulder.
After the Xuantian Pavilion assessment was over, he would be able to go to the capital.
The world is in Kyushu, the capital city is not counted, the mountain gate is 3,000, and the monks are not endless...... The capital has always been the center.
It is there that he can see the wonders of the world...... Of course, the key is to divide the suite.
"Senior, don't you let me come just to see the scenery and drink tea." Li Mo asked.
It stands to reason that he has already obtained the [Xuanyu Order] and has become the first person to be promoted, and the next assessment has nothing to do with him.
"The exam starts tomorrow...... According to the rules, you have to attend." Chen Wangdu said suddenly.
"What?" Li Mo was stunned.
"It's just a ceremony...... Chen explained.
"At the opening ceremony, according to the past practice, all disciples who have won the promotion quota before the examination must attend the ceremony, light a spiritual lantern to shine on their colleagues, and set an example for those who come after them."
According to the example, the opening ceremony of the Xuantian Pavilion will set up a high platform, light the spiritual lamp, decorate the red silk, and guard the center of the green gauze curtain. com, and then enter the inner to observe the ceremony.
To put it bluntly, it is to use it as a model to motivate all the demon hunters who participated in the assessment, and let them see that someone has already obtained the Xuanyu Order without participating in the assessment, and they are high, accept their attention, and watch them assess.
In this way, all the demon hunters who participated in the assessment were naturally able to arouse their ambitions and work hard.
"This is for me to arch the fire." Li Mo pursed his lips.
Now all kinds of rumors about the [Bath Emperor] have long been spread, and this name has been lost by everyone, all parties.
If you attend the ceremony again and watch all parties compete on the same stage with the attitude of a winner, it can stimulate their fighting spirit.
But these unruly people are afraid that they all want to talk about him being pulled down from the altar.
….
"What? Scared?" Chen Wangdu smiled, "You have improved a lot since the last time we met."
Chen Wangdu's gaze swept over Li Mo.
When we met that day, Li Mo was only four inches in the realm, but now he has the cultivation of the seven inches realm.
"I'm just afraid they'll be irritated." Li Mo said.
"Hahaha...... Crazy and intimate, proud and low-key."
Chen Wangdu couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, the more he looked at Li Mo, the more pleasing it became.
"Senior ......"
Li Mo slowly stood up and drank all the tea in the cup.
"Tomorrow, I'll go and see how good the Tianjiao of this Longyuan Mansion is."
When the words fell, the teacup was already on the table, and Li Mo rose up like a big eagle, turned into a black shadow, rushed down the mountain, and disappeared into the vast night.
"As swift as thunder, his thunder method has been refined again."
Chen Wangdu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a gleam flashed in his deep eyes.
He is a master of the nine-inch realm, and he can naturally see that Li Mo's body style just now is crazy and domineering, and it is clear that the power of the five thunders is turned into the internal breath, so as to promote the activation of flesh and blood, so that he has such speed and power.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's like this, like a crow Chitose
If the Nine Furnace Demon Ghost stood in front of Li Mo now, he would be killed by colliding.
"Uncle Shi, why don't you ask him about the Dragon and Phoenix Huan Bath?"
At this moment, Long Jianfei approached the pavilion, looking at the direction where Li Mo was going, a deep fear flashed in his condensed eyes.
Li Mo's strength is terrifying, but what makes him even more frightened is the speed of the other party's progress, which is too fast.
Every time they met, Long Jianfei could feel Li Mo's earth-shaking changes, which could be described as reborn.
Especially this time, he was obviously a hundred steps away, but he could feel that Li Mo's powerful aura had already locked him to death, and it was no exaggeration to say that as long as the other party moved his mind, he could take his life a hundred steps away.
This kind of strength of life and death is something I didn't feel last time.
"You can also see that what is really powerful about him is not that he has such a cultivation at a young age...... It's his almost endless potential......
Chen Wangdu couldn't help but sigh, over the years, he had seen a lot of young people who were more powerful than Li Mo, but there was no one whose growth rate could reach such a terrifying place.
"He's already quite hot in cultivating the Thunder Method, and he's much more powerful than last time." Chen Wangdu's eyes were slightly gloomy.
"Do you see the one he's carrying behind him?"
"See." Long Jianfei nodded.
The red knife and black sheath, a hundred steps away, the knife carried behind Li Mo still attracted Long Jianfei's attention.
"This is no ordinary knife...... He has a knife, and I am unarmed...... I'm afraid that I may not be able to hold him within ten moves." Chen Wangdu said in a deep voice.
"What?" Long Jianfei's complexion changed suddenly, and he couldn't believe it.
This uncle of his is a great master of the nine-inch realm, and he can't take a fledgling boy in ten moves?
"Don't say that the incident in the Dragon and Phoenix Huan Bath may not have been done by him, even if it is...... So what?" Chen Wangdu said.
….
How can the value of a Luo frenzy be compared to Li Mo?
The so-called rule of the law...... In the eyes of those in power, it can't withstand the words "weighing the pros and cons".
"But those rumors out there ......," Long Jianfei was about to speak, but stopped.
Now all kinds of rumors about this mysterious bath emperor have long been noisy, and some people even directly call him [Hidden Dragon Book Killer], Lin Yuntian, Luo Xiaoxiao, Shang Xujian, Luo Jing...... These gate valves were all folded in the hands of the Emperor of Bath.
The Book of the Hidden Dragon has also become the Book of Life and Death.
Nowadays, major gambling houses have even opened handicaps, betting on who will be the next victim?
"Jian Fei, it's just a rumor...... Unsubstantiated rumors can be dismissed as false...... If necessary, you can also catch a wave of people...... Spread rumors and make trouble, and trap others...... It is punishable." Chen Wangdu said.
"His Majesty the Divine Sect has long said that our Great Qianhuang Dynasty is ......" Chen Wangdu rubbed his head: "How do you say that word?"
"A society governed by the rule of law!" Long Jianfei reminded.
"Yes...... That's the word...... How can these rumor-mongering fanatics be allowed to go unpunished?"
Chen Wangdu stood up with a smile, walked over to Long Jianfeide's side, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't say it's just rumors, even if it's true...... Can't I save him?"
"Uncle Shi......" Long Jianfei was stunned.
"Young man, you still have a long way to go."
Chen Wangdu sighed lightly and walked out of the pavilion, leaving Long Jianfei alone to stay where he was, thinking for a long time.
……
Day 2.
Xuantian Pavilion, on the martial arts arena.
The flags were unfurled, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the crowded heads showed the cultivation level of Longyuan Mansion.
The people gathered here are all disciples from the Seven Great Mountain Gates, the major families, and according to the assessment standards, these are all three-star demon hunters.
There were three thousand five hundred and sixty-eight of them.
On the high platform, representatives of the major mountain gates, as well as the heads and faces of the major gate valve families, all attended the ceremony.
Xuantian Pavilion envoy Chen Wangdu, Longyuan Mansion master Lu Wangsheng, Lin Shuangtong, the mother of the Lin family...... and so on.
"It's finally begun...... Bath Emperor ...... The humiliation I have suffered will be repaid with you with interest."
Shang Xujian stood in the crowd, looking at the high platform, his fists clenched.
This is his best chance to make a name for himself.
"When the assessment begins, he should show up."
Luo Xiaoxiao muttered softly, and the warm picture of being suppressed and knocked away by Li Mo in the Shanshui Courtyard once again appeared in her mind.
"Once you're famous, start here."
Lin Yuntian took a deep breath, but he was full of pride, and after sweeping the floor for many days, he already had invincible confidence.
In the corner, a gloomy figure stands, he is wearing a cloak, without saying a word, he is one of the protagonists of the recent big events, Luo is frightened.
"The Bath Emperor, you should be here too."
Luo frantically whispered, but his cold gaze was cast on the southeast corner of the high platform, in the towering attic.
Ascending to the sky, which means one step to the sky.
In the past dynasties, only those who have obtained the [Xuanyu Order] first and are exempted from the examination are eligible to enter this pavilion and participate in the opening ceremony.
It's an honor, but it's also a symbol.
The red satin floated away, and a spiritual lamp hanging in front of the attic suddenly lit up, and the surging fragrance instantly overflowed the entire martial arts arena.
"The lantern is on...... The Bath Emperor is here."
At this moment, the entire martial arts arena was boiling, and everyone's eyes were on the towering Ascending Pavilion.
In a trance, a figure was in the pavilion, looming.
Lin Yuntian, Luo Xiaoxiao, Shang Xujian, Luo Jingfang...... The eyes of these heavenly pride are shining, looking forward to the true face of that mysterious figure.
However, they were disappointed, and for a ceremony, it was not enough for the bath queen to appear.
"Ladies and gentlemen......
Just when everyone was lost, a light voice actually came out of the Heavenly Pavilion, so that even the elders of all parties on the high platform couldn't help but look sideways.
"Have fun, I'll be waiting for you up there."
With just one sentence, the entire martial arts arena was completely fried.
White Bone Hill Mountain
