The Ming Dynasty in Another World: People are in the Heavenly Prison, and Wuji becomes a Taoist

The eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain.

As the sun sets, its afterglow shines on Shiyun Town, Qi County, northeast of Kyoto City, covering the land with a layer of golden color.

In the evening, Shiyun Town was still bustling with people.

Even though it is more than a hundred miles away from Kyoto City.

However, due to its proximity to the train station, it serves as an important transit point around Kyoto.

So there is a constant flow of people.

There is a militia stationed near the east side of the town.

The current situation is turbulent. This militia is organized by the militia, funded by local gentry and is responsible for local security.

The captain of the security team was Ren Yiming, the eldest son of the local biggest landlord, Mr. Ren Jiuren.

This man is a well-known figure in the entire Qi County.

Whether it is with the officials above, the local gentry, or even the bandits who gather in the mountains, they all have close ties.

It is precisely because of this ability that he is able to sit in such a position in this chaotic world.

The people of Shiyun Town have made a living by quarrying stones for generations, among which Shuiyun Stone is the most famous.

The stone is white and smooth like jade. Legend has it that it can bring good luck and love to people.

Many people flocked to it.

Although the current situation is chaotic, this place is relatively safe.

Therefore, even when night falls, many people still go out to enjoy the cool air.

Especially Zoumalan Street in the town center.

On a street less than 300 meters long, there were two brothels, three opium dens, two bathhouses and two casinos.

There are also various pubs, restaurants, and roadside stalls, which makes the place very lively.

The stone trade is the economic lifeline here. The local gentry makes a lot of money from it and is in no way inferior to the big merchants in Qi County.

Diagonally opposite the brothel Lanzifang, there is a tavern called Zhangji.

It seems deserted on weekdays, but it actually hides a secret - it is actually an underground casino.

The food and wine here are mediocre and expensive, and are neither favored by the rich nor affordable by ordinary people.

However, due to its reputation as a casino, it never has to worry about customers.

Those gamblers are used to spending money like water and don't care about the price of things at all.

However, this casino generally does not accept strangers except those introduced by acquaintances.

That evening, Zhang's restaurant was bustling with people and every seat was occupied.

Just as it got dark, a dusty guest stepped through the threshold, seemingly having come from a long journey.

The waiter came forward and glanced at the man curiously.

The tavern is a place where all kinds of people gather. After many years, he has learned how to judge people.

The man in front of me looks dark-skinned, probably due to years of exposure to wind and sun.

However, there were no calluses on the other person's hands, and it was obvious that he was not someone who did hard labor.

He looked at it for a long time, still confused.

Leading the person to the last table, the waiter politely asked, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

This young man was none other than Lin Mo, who had come all the way from Kyoto City.

He noticed during the day that the thought that he had planted in the ghost mother Wu Chunxiao suddenly lost contact.

But this thought was not erased, but was cleverly blocked by some clever means.

At a short distance, he might be able to catch a trace.

But once it exceeds a hundred miles, it is like a blind man touching an elephant, and it is difficult to determine the exact location.

Lin Mo knew very well that she could never do it with Wu Chunxiao alone.

After all, the other party had been suppressed by the stone tomb for so many years.

He just has a strong ghost aura, but doesn't know many other tricks.

Then, the only possibility is that she encountered a very difficult existence.

No one knew what secret method the other party used to isolate Lin Mo's thoughts.

However, according to the last moment information before disconnection of the induction.

Lin Mo discovered that the ghost mother was in Shiyun Town at that time.

Therefore, he came here to find the clues.

And when he arrived at Shiyun Town, he sensed that there was still a trace of Wu Chunxiao in this seemingly inconspicuous tavern.

This means that the other party has been here.

At the same time, through the art of observing qi, he also sensed several unusual auras permeating the tavern.

There is an indescribable weirdness mixed in with these auras.

Lin Mo's pace was very fast, and it would take him less than two hours to reach a distance of a hundred miles.

But this time, he did not come in person, but sent out a soul clone.

This was due to the fact that his Linxian Shen Ce had reached the realm of spiritual enlightenment, and the power of his soul was already strong. Even without the help of lead, mercury, water and soil, he could make his soul manifest, condense into a physical entity, and travel thousands of miles.

Not to mention ordinary people, even practitioners with less profound Taoism skills would not be able to tell that this is his soul clone.

After sitting down, Lin Mo casually ordered: "Bring up some of your best dishes!"

When the guy heard this, his eyes lit up and he was secretly happy, thinking that this was clearly a fat sheep who didn't understand the market.

He threw the towel over his shoulders and started shouting.

"Okay, pork stewed with vermicelli, sweet and sour pork, chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms... one portion each!"

This guy ordered five dishes according to the most expensive style on the menu.

It didn't matter whether Lin Mo was willing or not, or whether he could finish eating.

However, Lin Mo did not say anything to stop him.

When the guy saw how calm and composed he was, he was even more determined to make a fortune from him today.

If I meet a young man like this, I would feel guilty if I don't rip him off!

The waiter took the opportunity to promote his product: "Sir, would you like some wine? Our Yuquan wine is famous, and many people come here just for it!"

Lin Mo smiled slightly and shook his head: "I won't drink the wine. I have something to do later. Drinking will easily delay things. I'll just drink tea."

As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea but did not drink it.

Seeing this, the guy stopped insisting.

After all, the price of this meal is already generous enough.

"Okay, just wait!"

After saying that, the waiter nodded with satisfaction and turned to greet other customers.

Zhang's restaurant specializes in doing business with gangsters.

There are many merchants from all over the country eating here.

As the saying goes, "If you don't chat while eating, you're just wasting time."

Left and right, front and back, a bunch of people were bragging, it was so lively.

There was a table on Lin Mo's left, with five or six rough men sitting around it.

While eating the steaming hot pork elbow in sauce, they started chatting about something.

What they were talking about was the Liu family massacre that had recently caused a sensation in Qi County.

It is said that the town's landlord, Mr. Liu Mou, dug out a fist-sized piece of top-quality Datong jade from a rock.

Datong jade is the leader in the jade world.

Its hardness is comparable to that of Hetian jade, its elegance is superior to that of Shoushan jade, its clarity is better than jadeite, and its warmth is comparable to that of Gan Dang stone.

A palm-sized piece is worth a fortune.

Not to mention the Liu family's rare treasure which is as big as a fist.

I heard that famous jade experts have personally examined it and confirmed that it is genuine.

This news was originally top secret, but I don't know who leaked it.

Once the news came out, countless people started to have different thoughts.

Not only the people in the underworld, but even the Governor's Office and even the Japanese were ready to make a move and try to take the precious jade for themselves.

Unexpectedly, the news came out not long ago.

All twenty-five people in the Liu family were killed overnight!
