The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 152: Golden Lotus in the Fire, God of the Sun.

Chang'an City has 108 districts and a population of about one million.

The city is majestic and large in scale, and it is the most prosperous city in the world today.

All commercial activities are carried out in the East and West Markets.

During the day, this place is orderly, and at night, it belongs to another world.

The black shadow passed over the eaves, like a swallow flying in the night sky, and disappeared in a flash.

There were many figures and flashing swords.

Two groups of people fought on the deserted street.

hum! !

The dazzling sword light flashed by.

Rows of figures fell like weeds.

The other group won.

The leader took off his veil, revealing a beautiful face. This person was Wu Mingkong.

"Congratulations to the Sect Master for unifying the East and West Cities."

From then on, the underground market of Chang'an was controlled by the Tianxiahui.

Everyone came to a mansion.

Many masters of the world gathered here.

There are wealthy merchants, sons of high-ranking officials, bad people, and wandering Taoist priests.

"Meet the leader!"

Everyone bowed and saluted.

Wu Mingkong sat on the throne, majestic without even getting angry.

After half a year, the underground forces in Chang'an were finally taken down.

Now it's my turn to give orders.

"First, disband all brothels. Send the trafficked women back to their hometowns, and organize the homeless into theater troupes and embroidery workshops. They will be run by the Tianxiahui."

"Second, all beggar gangs are strictly prohibited from killing people and illegal evildoers. Kill them on sight without mercy."

"Third, all shops will collect a unified security fee, and no one will be allowed to extort money privately. The price will be halved, and Tianxia will bear all security costs."

"Cancel the safety fee for vendors and never collect it again."

"During the implementation of these three rules, we will handle the martial arts world, and leave the people's affairs to the government. Give Jingzhao Yin Li Chengqian some face."

"Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing, you two will be responsible for supervising the inside and outside."

"Yes! Master!" two young men stood up and said.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone obeyed.

Wu Mingkong was ruthless and had great martial arts skills, but people did not treat him with contempt just because he was young.

Some people hold different opinions.

"The affairs of the brothel are complicated and involve many dignitaries. I'm afraid it's not easy to handle."

"It would be better to improve the rules first and then proceed step by step. For example, no coercion, set rest time, a basic monthly salary, and cover medical expenses..." Someone stood up to offer his opinion.

Brothels involve huge interests, from officials to underground forces, pimps, and so on.

Wu Mingkong was a little impatient and said, "What a mess of rules! It's too troublesome. Are the weapons in your hands just for decoration? Those who don't obey will be chopped off directly."

"If it's hard to deal with it openly, then use assassination. Falling into the water, getting burned by accident, having a stroke, falling and hitting your head... Do you want me to teach you one by one?"

"In the martial arts world, fists are the most important thing. Throw away your temple habits."

Wu Mingkong waved his hand domineeringly.

Soon, everyone in the world will be mobilized.

As expected, it immediately aroused great resistance.

The vast majority of people make a living from brothels, and robbing people of their money is like killing their parents.

Of course, Wu Mingkong is not a reckless man.

Prior to this, a letter had been written to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to explain the plan, and Li Shimin allowed the Bad People to cooperate with the Tianxiahui in the action.

As the first emperor to unify the country in four hundred years, Li Shimin disdained to gain benefits from such a dirty thing.

Heads were rolling and blood was flowing all over the ground.

In Chang'an City, three thousand people died in one day.

The next day, people found that the hooligans who had been rampant and tyrannical had disappeared overnight.

When they learned that it was the emperor's order, everyone began to praise the wise emperor.

The emperor gained fame, and the world seized huge wealth.

Yihonglou, the largest brothel in Chang'an.

The brothel that used to be bustling with people was now deserted, with the front and back doors heavily guarded.

The thugs were dragged out one by one and beheaded in the street.

There were also many women with their faces covered who lined up to board the carriage so that their identities could be identified and their escape could be arranged.

"No, there should be more."

Wu Mingkong walked up to the shopkeeper and asked, "Where are the remaining women?"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He was sweating profusely and there was a faint fishy smell coming from his lower body.

"I said...but I have a condition, spare my life."

Wu Mingkong shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that it is my kindness that gives you the illusion of bargaining, Lai Junchen!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Bring a few people to bring the heads of his entire family here."

Without Liang Yue's suppression, Wu Mingkong gradually became cold and ruthless.

"Yes, sir!" "No, no, no! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

People are always good at compromise. Originally, the shopkeeper still wanted to live, but when he learned that his entire family was about to die, he suddenly felt that it was acceptable for only his own death to occur.

Dark basement.

boom!
The heavy door was kicked open, and the long-lost fresh air dispelled the filth in the room.

The space here is narrow, with dozens of beds. This is where the sick women who cannot create any value are placed.

Some of them have rotten bodies, and some look emaciated. They are locked up here and can only wait for death.

The light was so bright that they couldn't open their eyes.

All I heard was a warm female voice.

"If you want to go home, get cured, take the money and leave. If you don't want to go home, stay and work with me."

There is always a place to stay, including a nunnery, an embroidery workshop, or a theater troupe.

The girls then realized that someone had saved them.

A woman sobbed, "We have no home, but we are already withered and broken, and cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth. How dare we stay with the Bodhisattva and defile his house?"

Wu Mingkong shook his head slightly and said, "How can a little girl endure the worldly ways of the world?"

The Tianxia Association should have the world in mind, not seek to dominate the world.

Liang Yue has never made a mistake.

The people he favored, Liu Yu, Liu Yifeng, Li Hu, Liang Yan, and Wu Mingkong, were all changing the world.

……

Guandong, Hebei Road, Anyang.

The Taoist walked here, stood on a high place, and looked at the vast plain.

This place is the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty, where the ancient Shang kings were buried.

This place is full of tombs, and dignitaries from all dynasties have been buried here.

The deepest layer is the ancient tombs of the Shang Dynasty.

Of course, more ancient tombs actually increase the difficulty of excavation.

Liang Yue did not need treasures or military skills. Apart from magic weapons and elixirs, he would not touch anything else.

After that, Liang Yue stayed here for several months.

On the ground, in the mountains, underground.

A lot of scattered jade, low-level magic weapons and metals were found, but there was still no major breakthrough.

At this moment, a call came from the sea of consciousness.

Baiyun Imperial Township.

Liang Yue flew out of the earth and leaped into the white clouds.

The scene was seen by some villagers, and the legend of the land god spread locally.

In Baiyun Imperial Township, the physical body of the god Kuafu has completely turned into the earth. The small world is full of vitality and all things are flourishing.

There is a large hall in the center, and outside the hall are planted exotic flowers and plants that have been collected during years of traveling around the world.

Whether it is usable or not, keep them all for future use.

Liang Yue closed his eyes and sensed that it turned out that the message was from Li Chunfeng who was far away in India.

He discovered a relic in Tianzhu.

Liang Yue's mind moved, and the white clouds turned into a ray of light and disappeared at the end of the sky.

Three hours later.

The ancient land of Tianzhu is full of rolling mountains and lush vegetation in the river valleys, and it seems that there has been no human presence for thousands of years.

The valley was filled with thick smoke and the air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.

This is a volcanic crater, and the locals call it Hell.

Li Chunfeng stood on the edge of the crater. The scorching temperature had no effect on him.

At night, the temperature is slightly cool.

Whoosh!
A strong wind blew.

The spiritual treasure body fell down.

Li Chunfeng bowed and said, "Grandmaster, the ruins are under the volcano. Every full moon night, a trace of essence will be revealed. Perhaps there is a treasure here."

Liang Yue closed his eyes and sensed, and his divine consciousness of four hundred feet went straight into the ground.

In the divine mind, there seemed to be nothing else except magma.

Then open your Dharma Eyes.

After a quick glance with his Dharma eyes, he finally saw the target.

"Please wait here. I will be back soon."

Wow!
There is a molten lava cavity two hundred feet underground.

The cave was filled with flames and poisonous gases.

The light and shadows were mottled, and in the center of the cave sat a three-meter-tall demon corpse with a green face, fangs, and a body bathed in flames.

When Liang Yue saw the murals around him, he knew that these were the people from the country of Queen Mother of the West.

The demon corpse's flesh and blood dried up and turned into rock.

A nine-petal golden lotus grew in the flames in front of him.

With the help of Dharma Eye, Liang Yue transformed a jade Buddha into something.

"It turns out that my chance for breakthrough is here."
