The founder of all religions

In the early morning, the mountain fog has not dispersed,

A group of crows landed in the cemetery on the eastern suburbs mountain early and began to forage. Fresh bones are the most sought-after. Of course, those corpses exposed to the outside due to the disrepair of the tombs will taste good if dried into bacon, and are the most popular among the crowd. The scramble of crows.

Li Mo stayed in Feilaishan for almost half a month and never came back. He was awakened by Uncle Ma's big bone soup early in the morning.

Nowadays, his yard is becoming more and more lively. In addition to Wang Jiu, Zhu Gang, Kui Gang, and Little Fox, Ji Tiantiao also returned to the capital with him.

Of course, Bai Xiaoqian and Ksitigarbha Dozi would come to visit from time to time.

Compared to the ghost residence in the east suburbs where ghosts didn't even take a second look before, now it is full of vitality.

"Xiao Li, where have you been these days?"

Uncle Ma walked out of the thatched house and glanced at Li Mo at the opposite door.

"There's been a lot going on in the Yamen recently, and I've been on an official business trip." Li Mo said casually.

He was guarding the gate for Feng Wannian, which was certainly not considered an official duty.

In fact, Li Mo killed Ming Prajna in Feilaishan and helped Feng Wannian defeat Wuliang Jianzhong. For Xuantian Pavilion, not only was it not a credit to his strength, but it was also a sin for his lack of great virtue.

Just after returning to the capital last night, Feng Wannian received news that the library had received the news, and that the superiors had launched the Thunder Fury to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Because of this, as soon as the sky became clear, Li Mo planned to go out and go to Xuantian Pavilion to check the news.

"The food at Gongmen is not delicious either." Uncle Ma said casually.

"By the way...Xiao Li, come over for dinner tonight...A friend has been visiting me in the past two days and brought me a piece of good meat."

Uncle Ma didn't look back, he just mentioned the good piece of meat and paused in his original sweeping action.

"friend?"

Li Mo couldn't help but show curiosity. He had lived in Dongjiao Ming for such a long time and had never seen anyone come to see Uncle Ma.

In his eyes, this is a lonely old man with no relatives or support.

"They can't be considered friends, they're a bit of friendship..." Uncle Ma seemed to have guessed what Li Mo was thinking, and said slowly.

"It's the one who lost the secret recipe to me... the smelly butcher..."

"It turned out to be him."

Li Mo showed a look of surprise, just this secret recipe of Lao Tang was enough to settle down in the capital.

The beef soup shop he frequented was not as good as Uncle Ma's craftsmanship. I heard that the humble stall had earned the boss a lot of money in the capital.

Therefore, people often say that those who are officials in the court may not earn more from selling soup.

"I'll definitely come tonight."

Li Mo grinned and chuckled. He really couldn't understand that the stinky pig butcher could still come to visit him after losing such an heirloom recipe. If Li Mo were his father, he would have to beat this unfilial prodigal to death.

…

Capital, Xuantian Pavilion.

Before Li Mo entered Hongmen, he felt that the atmosphere today was quite heavy. People were coming and going, the pace was fast, and the expression on his face was quite uneasy.

"Have you heard? Senior Sister Ming had an accident... She is a disciple of the Army Master and has a distinguished status..."

"Wait a minute...Senior Sister Ming Prajna? What happened to her?"

"I heard that she died in childbirth... She was still pregnant with a monster fetus."

Not far away, three or five people gathered together. Although they were talking in low voices, these words still reached Li Mo's ears.

"Um!?"

Li Mo couldn't help but look very strange as he listened.

Obviously, a lot of secret news has been spread overnight. After all, there is no airtight wall in this world, but...

"Don't talk nonsense. Senior Sister Ming is a disciple of the Army Master. How could she be pregnant with a demon fetus and die in childbirth?"

At this moment, someone spoke out to refute, scolding, and speaking righteously.

"I just heard about it..."

"Hearsays are ultimately lies... Some people have seen it with their own eyes. In fact... Senior Sister Ming is actually a man..."

"What the hell?"

"Her identity was revealed and she couldn't bear the humiliation, so she committed suicide in anger."

"..."

"You're a bunch of idiots who follow the wind. To tell you the truth, Senior Sister Ming met the Guixu Demon. She was outnumbered and died in the line of duty... Damn it, you guys are talking nonsense here."

In one morning, the news of Ming Prajna's death spread like wildfire in the Xuantian Pavilion.

Of course, this news was so shocking that the news of the simultaneous demise of the Infinite Sword Species was completely regarded as a rumor and was not believed at all.

On the contrary, it is the most exaggerated "causes and consequences" that people talk about the most, and the more they are spread, the more they seem to be the truth.

"what's the situation?"

Li Mo found Feng Wannian. He calmed down for a long time, only to feel that something was getting more and more wrong.

"Have you not read [Public Opinion Methodology] from Justice Bookstore?"

"What the hell?" Li Mo was completely stunned when he heard the title of the book.

"I heard it was a book written by His Majesty Shenzong... It says in it that when violent news breaks out, rumors must spread to sway public opinion and distract attention, so that the truth can be covered up..."

"The more exaggerated these rumors are, the better, and the more eye-catching the better... In this way, the focus of people's attention will gradually shift."

"this……"

Li Mo looked strange, feeling that this technique looked so familiar.

Everything is indeed as Feng Wannian said. Now the focus of everyone's attention has shifted from Ming Prajna's death to whose child is it? Who is the heartless man? Why is Gui Xu able to make Ming Prajna's belly bigger? Is the soldier the father of the child?

"You can't be the one behind the scenes, right?" Li Mo couldn't help but look at Feng Wannian.

"Of course, who told me to have a way?"

Feng Wannian sneered: "I know a friend who owns a group of pen writers... If you can afford the money, I can make you appear on the headline of the monthly first issue of Zhengyi Bookstore."

"Are you crazy? Wouldn't it be easier for the library to find out it's you?" Li Mo was speechless.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The more you build it, the more traces you leave behind, let alone spreading rumors like this.

If everyone agrees, there must be a source, and it can be traced back and checked, and it is absolutely correct.

"Don't worry, I won't be traced." Feng Wannian sneered.

"Why?" Li Mo asked subconsciously.

"Last night, I found the sect master and confessed to the crime of murder." Feng Wannian's words were shocking.

"Did you find the Xuanmen Sect Master?" Li Mo couldn't help but feel moved.

"Are you crazy?"

"Do you think the sect doesn't know?" Feng Wannian shook his head: "The Xuanmen sword species is so precious. I'm afraid that Huo Wuqing died just now, and this side already knows about it."

"Then you..." Li Mo looked worried.

Feng Wannian was responsible for Tianxiang Jianzhong's death last time.

Now, if the deaths of Wuliang Sword Seed and Ming Prajna were all blamed on him, no matter how precious the remaining Domineering Sword Seed was, Xuanmen would probably not be able to go without any punishment.

"Punish me? Punish me for what?" Feng Wannian sneered.

"Do you think Huo Qingqing and the others didn't know about it when they attacked me?"

"Sit back and watch you two tigers fight?" Li Mo was aware of it, but still couldn't understand.

"I don't quite understand, how can Xuanmen watch two major sword types fight to the death?"

"The water in Xuantian Pavilion is very deep. Everyone has eight hundred thoughts, even the thoughts about Xuanmen sword species..." Feng Wannian said solemnly.

"What's the meaning?"

"There have always been two voices. Some people think that the Xuanmen Sword Seed is a derivative of failure, and its ultimate fate is to become the nourishment of the Tao Seed..."

"Some people believe that the Xuanmen Sword Seed has hidden potential. Only by refining the seed with the sword of life and death can we discover that hidden potential and become a true Xuanmen Sword Seed!"

Hearing this, Li Mo showed a look of surprise: "Some people are born to treat you as nourishment..."

"Some people think that the collision of life and death between sword types may produce new miracles and create unprecedented sword types."

"That's it... As the leader of the sect, he can't clearly stand on his side, he can only let nature take its course..."

"If Huo Wuqing wins, both he and I can only become nourishment for Xuantian Dao Seed. There is nothing to say about this."

There was a deep chill in Feng Wannian's eyes: "But if I win, maybe the Xuanmen Sword Type is not really a failure."

"No wonder Xuanmen still sits idly by and ignores Huo Qingqing after knowing clearly that he is coming for you." Li Mo suddenly said.

"Now that he is dead, how can he still hold me accountable? As for Ming Prajna..."

Feng Wannian said in a deep voice: "Huo Qingqing broke the rules by relying on external forces. Whoever gets involved will die in vain..."

"But she is the disciple of the Soldier Master after all, so she is indeed in some trouble."

"Is that why you are looking for someone to give you some advice?" Li Mo finally understood.

Feng Wannian nodded: "Later, a statement will be made in the museum, informing Ming Prajna that he died at the hands of the Guixu demon. He died in the line of duty and the imperial court will posthumously grant him a posthumous title."

"Awesome." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Among the news coming out today, there are both eye-catching fake news, fake news that will become the truth, and even real news that is considered fake news...

You know, there is also news that Ming Prajna died at the hands of fellow students of Xuantian Pavilion.

However, this news did not cause much turmoil. As soon as it came out, some high-ranking figures in Xuanmen came out to clarify, claiming that this was a vicious attack that ignored the facts, was a retaliation with ulterior motives, and was a conspiracy to create chaos and divide colleagues. Conspiracy is the sinister intention of the enemy hidden among the people...

Such rumors should be drowned in the sea of ​​righteous flags.

"So...it's Guixu's fault again." Li Mo sighed quietly.

Now, he has begun to have some doubts about the files in Hongmen regarding Guixu's reversal of the case, and has even been shaken.

"His Majesty Shenzong once said that the existence of external contradictions can divert internal contradictions..."

Feng Wannian patted Li Mo on the shoulder and grinned: "These demons... maybe this is the only value of their existence."

"Return to the ruins..."

Li Mo murmured softly that as a disciple of the Hongmen, it was his duty to be in charge of Guixu.

But now, apart from his responsibilities, he is a little more curious about this mysterious force that resists the imperial court and is hostile to Xuantian Pavilion.

"Is this matter over?" Li Mo asked casually.

"That's it..." Feng Wannian nodded: "The only trouble is the soldier master. He will definitely not believe such nonsense."

His Majesty Shenzong once said in a book that the so-called public opinion is the truth given to mortals to see, and what is seen at the top of the "building" is the essence.

"Fortunately, he is not in the library now. As for the future, let the senior management deal with it." Feng Wannian was not worried.

"By the way...and the three thousand blind soldiers of Tianshi Mansion..."

The Tianshi Mansion mobilized three thousand armored soldiers to besiege Feilaishan, but they were blinded by Ji Tian's howling, and they have not recovered to this day.

Now, Xuantian Pavilion has lodged a strong protest and made serious representations, demanding compensation from the other party.

"Compensation?" Li Mo was stunned.

"Of course... the claws of the Tianshi Mansion are too long. They dare to interfere with the internal affairs of our Xuantian Pavilion. Naturally, they have to pay compensation..." Feng Wanchang smiled: "This time we have to give them a hard blow."

"But... it's a good thing they are blind, otherwise there would be too many people talking, and you might be leaked."

Li Mo does not exist in the truth compiled by Feng Wannian.

The three thousand armored soldiers didn't know Li Mo originally. As for Zhu Gangxi, Kui Gang, Wang Jiu, etc., they didn't see them at all, which saved a lot of trouble.

They were yelled at by Ji Tian and groped for a long time in the mountains. Finally, Yu Zhaoyue brought the three thousand blind men back.

For this reason, Yu Zhaoyue was also commended by the Tianshi Mansion, and it was said that he was promoted two levels in a row.

"By the way, you have to hide those monsters under your hands."

Feng Wannian stared at Li Mo and looked strange when he mentioned what he saw that day.

Even he had never expected that Li Mo still had such terrifying power hidden in his hands.

"It's true that when you're in Xuantian Pavilion, you have some invisible masters in your hands... It's a pity that monsters and ghosts of this level are hard to come by. It's lucky to have three or five of them. You have to hide them well. .”

Feng Wannian looked at Li Mo with some envy.

In his eyes, for top combat powers like Zhu Gangxi, Ji Tiantiao, Kui Gang, and Wang Jiu to obtain one, it was considered as if their ancestral graves were smoking.

Li Mo has four of them at the same time, which is like hiding a big killer weapon.

Hearing this, Li Mo curled his lips. He wanted to say... these four were not at the top level among the demons he released. They were at the middle level at most, but he swallowed his words again.

…

The matter of Feilaishan was settled like this, and it was simpler than Li Mo imagined.

This has nothing to do with him from beginning to end. In fact, Li Mo has never left the capital at all, so naturally he has nothing to do with Feilaishan.

There was such a big commotion in that place that the stronghold installed by Xuantian Pavilion was also withdrawn.

Li Mo took the opportunity to send Huang Shulang to Beijing to work beside him.

This little demon is quite clever and easy to use. He has also developed good cooking skills and is excellent at serving late-night snacks.

"The nurturing kindness of the adults will be unforgettable by the little ones."

As soon as Li Mo entered the hall, Huang Shulang had already made tea, which was all new tea this year. He pinched off the big leaves, leaving only the pointed buds, and used the dew just collected in the early morning. He brewed it and heated it up. It's even more precise.

Ordinary people simply cannot make such tea.

"Xiao Huang, the future is bright." Li Mo chuckled.

"Good training, sir." Huang Shulang grinned and took a seat facing Li Mo.

On weekdays, there are not many errands in Hongmen, but it is quite leisurely.

"Sir, what happened to Feilaishan..."

"What does Feilaishan have to do with us?" Li Mo couldn't help but put down his tea bowl.

"Yes, yes, yes... I forgot, you work hard day and night, and don't even have time to go out of the capital to relax. You are really a role model for our generation..."

Huang Shulang hurriedly picked up the official documents piled next to him and respectfully took them over.

"By the way... Sir, someone from the [Monster Catching Hall] just came over and asked us to send some pharmacists there. There are not enough manpower there."

"Not enough manpower? What? Something happened?" Li Mo said casually.

The Demon Catching Hall is a specially established government office within the Xuantian Pavilion. It is composed of masters from the eight sects. Ordinary demons and ghosts generally do not need to work in the Demon Catching Hall, and the Wumen alone can deal with them.

Only extraordinary monsters will alert the [Monster Catching Hall].

"I heard that there was a major case... The Demon Catching Hall accidentally discovered a demon ghost. Many experts were dispatched, but they were unable to capture it. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties." Huang Shulang said solemnly.

He knows that those who can enter the [Monster Catching Hall] must be strong people who have cultivated spiritual breath.

"What kind of monster is so cruel? It's so lawless!" Li Mo said casually.

"I heard... it was a big bird..."

Pfft...

Li Mo coughed and spit out all the tea in his mouth.
