The founder of all religions

The Director-General of Criminal Prisons is ranked fifth among the eighteen official positions in Xuantian Pavilion.

A month after Li Mo came back, he finally took office, which was his true return to the capital.

Of course, the main purpose of his return this time was not to get promoted and make a fortune.

"Old Feng should be coming out soon... I want to ask where Lao Jiguan is."

Li Mo handed over this most important task to Chen Wangdu.

When he was demoted out of the capital in disgrace, both Master Ji and Feng Wannian took the blame for him, especially Master Ji. Even as the prince of Zhennan, he was bound to be imprisoned and could not escape.

As a [Xuanmen Sword Seed], Feng Wannian was even imprisoned in the North Pole Tower and imprisoned. His power plummeted, otherwise how could he have allowed Su Mingyuan to take advantage of the opportunity to rise.

"Sir, I have sorted out the roster in the prison these days."

On this day, Li Mo went to prison for inspection, and Chen Tiejia followed closely and presented the roster in his hand.

Ever since he followed Li Mo into the Xuantian Pavilion headquarters, the tide has been rising. Now he has become a criminal prison supervisor, reaching the tenth rank. Compared with when he was in Qingchan City, his career has been smooth and prosperous.

"so many people……"

Li Mo looked at the thick stack of rosters, glanced at them, and estimated that there were nearly ten thousand people, divided into monks and demons.

This simply subverted Li Mo's stereotype of Hongmen.

Although Hongmen is responsible for the investigation and roundup of Guixu, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a sewage yamen. Every year, the court spends huge sums of money on Hongmen. However, after so many years of suppressing bandits, it becomes more and more fat. There is no sign of destruction at all.

Some people say that Hongmen's self-respect for raising bandits is the most unwilling thing in the world to see the destruction of Guixu.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hongmen has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and Guixu has almost become their food and clothing parents.

There are even rumors outside that some Hongmen disciples privately worship the Guixu memorial tablet, burn incense day and night, and pray to God to protect Guixu for generations to come.

"What does the list on the red page mean?"

Li Mo opened the roster and found that one part was different. The pages were all red, and the names on it were written in white ink and circled with black pen.

"These people are all suspected to be related to Guixu. It is unclear whether they are black or white. Their guilt or innocence requires further investigation and research..."

At this point, Chen Tiejia came up to Li Mo and lowered his voice and said: "To put it bluntly, it just depends on your words..."

"This... we can't let a bad person go, but we can't wrongly accuse a good person..." Li Mo said thoughtfully.

"My lord is wise, many people have expressed their determination to be good people..."

As he spoke, Chen Wangdu took out another book of details. Li Mo just glanced at it and looked at the numbers on it, his eyes shaking unconsciously.

He didn't expect that these people's determination would be so firm.

"Then you have to investigate carefully and don't accuse me wrongly." Li Mo reminded.

"It's natural..."

Chen Tiejia nodded and said, "I heard that my predecessor took people's money but didn't do anything for them..."

"It simply ruins the good reputation of our corrupt officials!"

At this point, Li Mo suddenly stopped and took a deep look at Chen Tiejia.

"Xiao Chen, what I said today is a bit confidential."

Chen Tiejia's face trembled, and he immediately let out an embarrassed laugh. He was indeed a little carried away.

"Your Majesty, this is your lesson... I just hate these corrupt officials. I heard that there are some people who neither take benefits nor do anything, and just goof around every day..."

"This is lazy politics."

Li Mo said in a deep voice: "Don't help others save money when they should be spending money. How can you ignore it!?"

"Looking back, I will definitely pass on your spirit, organize manpower to study and study, and conscientiously implement your requirements for Hongmen Prison..."

Chen Tiejia took out the banknotes and recorded them carefully.

"Xiao Chen, I can rest assured that you will do things." Li Mo nodded, showing a satisfied look.

"Sir, there are nine levels of Hongmen prison, and this list only contains the first six levels..."

Chen Tiejia's eyes were downcast and he spoke softly. The expression on his face could not be seen clearly in the dim prison.

"I see."

Li Mo nodded. According to the rules, only the sect leader Gu Pingfan, the deputy sect leader Fu Qing, and him, the chief prison officer, could enter and leave the prison at will.

Even Li Mo doesn't have the authority to open the last level.

"I'll go in and take a look around, you go and do your work first." Li Mo said casually.

"Sir, the Hongmen Prison is full of extremely vicious people. Do you want to be alone..." Chen Tiejia said with some worry.

"No need."

With a whisper, Li Mo stepped into the depths of the prison.

Chen Tiejia looked at Li Mo's disappearing figure, his eyes narrowed, and the casualness on his face disappeared.

Rumble...

The heavy gate slowly opened, accompanied by a loud "rumbling" sound, and a mixed and strong smell came from the depths of the prison, filled with a faint smell of blood.

As the Chief of Prisons, Li Mo naturally reached the sixth floor without anyone stopping him.

This is also a place that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

"Why did Souji-sama go to the sixth floor alone?"

"Nonsense, he is the chief executive, and I have to explain to you where you want to go? Stop asking, I heard that our new chief executive is a man who eats people without spitting out their bones."

"I've heard about it too... He was the one responsible for the "monster-burning and ghost-eating case" in Nancheng last year..."

"Shh... we don't know anything."

In the corner, two faint voices talked to each other, and soon fell silent.

"A big monster? The people imprisoned here are indeed extremely vicious people."

Li Mo came to the sixth floor of the prison and walked to a cage made of black copper. It was engraved with dense runes and contained the majestic evil spirit.

"The golden-tongued man!?"

Li Mo glanced at it and saw that the prisoner's information was recorded on the cell card.

Buzz…

A dim golden light glowed faintly in the cage, and a golden snake emerged. It was full of demonic aura, boiling like a noise, and its cold eyes stared at Li Mo, exuding a ferocious luster.

This demon ghost came from Guixu [Demon City], was captured by Hongmen masters, and has been imprisoned here for three years.

"Thunder and Lightning Golden Snake!"

Li Mo could tell the bloodline origin of this big snake at a glance.

This is an extremely rare demon ghost that feeds on thunder and lightning to temper its demonic energy. Once it transforms into a demon, its strength is terrifying and profound, especially its tongue. Almost all of its cultivation lies on that tongue...

The swallowing and vomiting is as fast as lightning, especially accompanied by the power of thunder. If an ordinary person encounters it, he will feel numb all over his body in an instant, as if he has ascended to heaven.

The terror of this kind of demon can be imagined.

In the early years, this kind of monster was most valued by Taoist female cultivators. They searched the mountains and rivers and arrested them constantly, and almost all of them were caught and exterminated.

Once these [Thunder and Lightning Golden Snakes] fall into the hands of those Xuanmen female cultivators, they will end up extremely miserable.

Therefore, nowadays, it is difficult to see such demons and ghosts, let alone those who have cultivated to the Great Demon Realm and are equivalent to human [True Breath] masters.

"I heard that the scales of this kind of demon are quite useful..."

Li Mo murmured softly. In the early years when he was in Qingping Mountain, he had heard that if a man took the scales of the thunder and lightning golden snake, it could strengthen his body and strengthen his tongue. Therefore, it was also called "golden tongue tablets". Taking it day and night, it could even strengthen the body with one minute. Two, it’s quite magical.

In the black market, a "gold tongue piece" can often be sold for a high price. It is especially said that the eunuchs in Ouchi like this thing the most.

"It's interesting... This prison is also a natural treasure house."

Li Mo walked around casually and came directly to the seventh floor.

The prisoners here were more terrifying than those on the sixth floor. As soon as Li Mo set foot on them, he was firmly locked by a powerful evil spirit.

"Um!?"

Li Mo raised his eyes and saw that in the cage closest to him, there was a lion imprisoned, with three heads on its neck. The urn was rotating, ferocious and domineering.

"Three lions!?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment. This bloodline was extremely rare, and it was considered a close relative to the [Nine-Headed Spirit Lion] lineage that Shi Shibai belonged to.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen the Lion Demon?"

At this moment, the three lions shouted loudly, pulling Li Mo back from his thoughts.

The three-headed lion demon's mane stood up, its eyes were like lightning, and it was extremely fierce. It was obvious that Li Mo was not taken into consideration.

"How many mothers are so crazy?"

Li Mo glanced sideways and spoke coldly.

"Little thing, if you dare to walk in, say it again..." The three lions shouted in a deep voice.

Before he finished speaking, Li Mo took two steps closer to the cage.

Rumble...

Almost at the same moment, a terrifying demonic energy rushed out from the gap in the cage, rolling like a long river and violent like a volcano erupting.

Li Mo was slightly startled. He never expected that the power of these three lions could pass through the cage while they were in prison. It was obvious that they had suffered a fate that allowed them to break through.

The evildoer looked at Li Mo's astonished expression, and his eyes were filled with fierceness, showing a mixture of mockery and ridicule.

Buzz…

At this moment, Li Mo stood still, the void was shaken, and a terrifying shadow emerged from behind him.

That is a boy, wrapped in the power of stepping on the sky, suddenly taking on the appearance of a demon king, with red lotus feet on his feet, three heads and six arms, holding a gold ring, wrapped in red silk, rolling in killings, and coming to the world with domineering power.

The killing is decisive, and the eight-pointed light hangs down.

With three heads and six arms, I am the most arrogant.

In terms of being fierce and domineering, but in terms of killing and rebellious, no one can compare to Red Lotus Boy.

In an instant, the billowing demonic energy seemed to be grasped by an invisible force, and then the three lions' round eyes suddenly exploded.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying Dharma image suddenly reached out, red light flashed, and golden light suddenly appeared...

In the cage, the three lions howled fiercely, and a lion's head rolled down from its neck, like a watermelon falling to the ground, swaying in scarlet.

"I thought you were so powerful..."

Li Mo whispered casually, looking at the three lions whose breath was suddenly sluggish. The latter's face was full of pain, and the eyes he looked at Li Mo were no longer as wild as before, and there was deep fear in the trembling. .

He didn't expect that the seemingly young human in front of him was actually possessed of such magical powers. A single thought could mean the difference between life and death.

"Pick up your head...I told you to pick up your head..."

At this moment, Li Mo let out a low roar, which made the three lions shiver. They even ignored the pain and picked up his fallen head and held it in his arms.

"Hold your head and stand for three hours."

Li Mo whispered softly and walked towards the depths of the prison without looking.

The three lions looked at Li Mo's retreating figure, holding their heads tightly, not daring to breathe.

"What a stupid lion, he grew three heads in vain..."

"How can you be an ordinary person to come to this seventh floor alone..."

"If the prediction is correct, he should be the newly promoted Chief of Prisons..."

"You are so young. Xuantian Pavilion deserves to be the state religion of Daqian. It has all the fortunes of ancient and modern times. It is really full of talents."

One voice after another resounded in the quiet prison, intertwined with each other, and slowly sank.

Soon, Li Mo arrived at the eighth floor of the prison, which was also the last floor that his authority could penetrate.

Sect Master Fu said that only Gu Pingfan, the master of the Hong Sect, could enter and exit the last floor at will.

Dang...dang...dang...

At this moment, there was a faint sound of heavy chains clashing, which was exactly the same as what Li Mo heard last time when he came with the sect master.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura came from the depths of the eighth level prison, giving off a suffocating sense of oppression.

Li Mo pondered for a moment, and then followed the terrifying breath gradually deeper.

Every time he got closer, the pressure Li Mo could feel became more real.

It's like a small boat under the angry sea and dark sky, with nothing to rely on and can only drift with the current, unable to see the end of the sea.

After a while, Li Mo finally arrived at the end of the dark prison.

Here, there is no light at all, but Li Mo can see a thin figure, as if imprisoned in a closed void, heavy chains passing through his shriveled body, and ferocious chains. The scars are shocking.

"Hey, it's been so long... Finally someone is here... and he's still so young..."

A cold voice came from the darkness, and Li Mo was keenly aware that the terrifying man in front of him seemed to raise his head and glance at him.

"To reach the third level of real life at such a young age, to become an immortal and ascend... what a talent..."

"It's such a waste to have such talents buried in Xuantian Pavilion."

At this point, the terrifying man suddenly grinned and said: "Are you the newly promoted prison chief of Hongmen!?"

"Are you the lord of the Demon City of the previous generation!?" Li Mo asked in a deep voice.

"You are young and you are already in a high position. Who is your master?" The scary man asked instead of answering.

"I don't have a master!"

Li Mo shook his head.

"No master!?"

The scary man smiled coldly, but in the darkness, his eyes flashed with a cold luster.

"Then let me take a look..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful and strange aura rushed out from the closed void and crushed towards Li Mo.

In a trance, the sky and the earth were spinning, the sun and the moon had no light...

At this moment, Li Mo seemed to be falling into the vast sea. He couldn't see the sky above or the earth below. He couldn't help himself, and he couldn't control the law.

Buzz…

At this moment, Li Mo's body reacted instinctively, and every inch of flesh and blood released the power of shaking thunder. In the mysterious and misty sky, it seemed that the black sky was infinite, and only the big star was eternal, shining in the vast sea. Show a way out.

The eternal night hangs in the sky, and my body shines!

"This...this is...Eternal Night Sword...you...you are the successor of Black Sword..."

Suddenly, the surrounding pressure dissipated instantly, and a sharp scream suddenly came from the closed void, revealing a deep shock.
