Chapter 57 New Year’s Eve
You have your poems and distance,
I have my laziness and arrogance!
——Taken from the Supreme Holy Demon of Heaven and Earth, Chapter 2520 of "My Diary" by Demon God Zhang
On New Year's Eve, the winter snow stops and the sun is warm.
It was another lazy day, and Zhang Mo got up unsteadily.
With more demon cultivators waiting on him, he had a comfortable breakfast, and then went to the lobby and sat on his own sect leader's chair.
At first, Zhang Mo felt that the chair was hard and cold to his buttocks. Now that I have been sitting on it for a long time, I feel that it is a good thing. Not only does it prevent hemorrhoids, but because it is big enough, he can also sit sideways, lying down, or with his legs crossed. Sit however you want.
Anyway, as the leader of the Demon Sect, there are no requirements for posture. The people below won't dare to force anything in front of Zhang Mo just because he looks ugly.
Lying on the chair, Zhang Mo watched other magic cultivators busy.
After tonight is the New Year's Eve, everyone in the Tianmo Sect is preparing for a grand banquet.
They had prepared a huge amount of meat alone, and it was said that they had bought pigs from several villages down the mountain. Not only that, there were also some with strong tastes, who went out to catch some bandits, and now they are probably cleaned and waiting to be served to the banquet. Of course, the bandits did not eat, but were eaten.
Speaking of which, the bandits are now in the territory of Tianmo Sect. They are rare things and it is not easy to find them. Maybe he would have gone to the territory of the Righteous Alliance to catch him.
It can only be said that these demon cultivators with heavy taste are really obsessed with cannibalism.
Two days ago, there was a fool who provided Zhang Mo with two living people.
Zhang Mo looked at the two clean-shaven big men and thought that the people below were for him to "use", but he didn't expect that they were for him to "eat".
The most important thing is that when they heard that they were about to be eaten, the two tough men were so frightened that they urinated on the ground and made Zhang Mo sick.
Zhang Mo quickly drove the two hairless men out. Then I gave an order that those demon cultivators in the sect who have strong tastes should change their tastes immediately and stop eating people after the New Year's Eve at the latest.
The order is said to have caused rumors.
It's so heartless to say that the sect leader wants to ban other people's hobbies just so that he can eat more!
Zhang Mo didn't bother to explain and just told Yang Shuo that whoever dares to eat human flesh in the future will be asked to get out of the Demon Sect.
After being the sect leader for so long, he has gradually become more domineering.
If we didn't impose some harsh rules, would we still be the leader of the Demon Sect?
Not convinced? If you don’t accept it, hold it in!
Squinting his eyes, Zhang Mo was still practicing while eating the fruit plate.
During these days, Zhang Mo's cultivation level increased rapidly due to the bonus of the elixir left by the Righteous Alliance and the effect of the Wuji Pearl.
The first level of physical training in the mortal realm, which I originally thought would take a year and a half to reach, has been quietly reached, and now I have even begun to move towards the second level of Qi training.
Reaching the body refining realm means that Zhang Mo's physical fitness has improved, and at least he will no longer be troubled by common diseases in this life.
My skin is good, my muscles and bones are strong, and I can walk up to the fifth floor without any difficulty.
Therefore, only those who have practiced cultivation know the benefits of cultivation. If it weren't for the fact that his current position was too high and there were too many dangers, he would really be complacent.
After all, more than 90% of the people in the world who have never practiced cultivation can reach the body refining realm, which is an unknown number.
For an ordinary person, it would be like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. If he had not been captured to become the sect leader, but had gone to the county to practice to the body refining realm, he would have been able to find a good job now.
Maybe he could also work as a government servant, or even work as a guard for a merchant's house.
Zhang Mo was thinking wildly, and suddenly he felt the heat of the Wuji Bead in his sleeve disappear.
It was feeling great when I smoked it, but suddenly it was gone. When I took out the Wuji Pearl and took a look, it seemed that the light had indeed dimmed a lot.
Uh, have you finished smoking?
This treasure is too bad. Zhang Mo thought he could suck it for a long time.
At this time, Yang Shuo strode in at the door.
As soon as he saw Yang Shuo's hurried steps, Zhang Mo knew that something must have happened on the front line.
Zhang Mo said loudly: "What's wrong?"
Yang Shuo hurriedly came to Zhang Mo and said: "Sect Master, the matter of you opening a warehouse to store grain was reported to the Holy Dao. They all said that your move was very good. The Zhengdao newspaper was also reported, saying that you are a traitor but not a loyal person. Great evil seems to be good. We are calling on the people not to fall into the trap!"
Yang Shuo first handed Zhang Mo the new Shengdao Bao and Zhengdao Bao. These two newspapers have now become Zhang Mo's must-reads. To be honest, they are very cultural. Especially when Zhang Mo found out, it turned out that any nonsense could be said seriously. And really big things may be downplayed. It all depends on how the penholder uses the pen to splash the ink.
After glancing at the newspaper, Zhang Mo laughed and said: "The Zhengdao Newspaper is really stupid. They don't publish it themselves, but instead say that what we did is wrong, how hypocritical!"
Yang Shuo smiled and said: "This is not the first day they have been so hypocritical. Sect Master, your move is brilliant. I heard that the righteous coalition forces are starting to complain."
Zhang Mo put down the newspaper and said, "I didn't do this to make them complain. I looked at your sad face just now. Is there anything else you can do?"
Yang Shuo's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Sect Master, I was about to say this. We were doing well at first. But in the past few days, several families actually dared to defy the rules and give People give away stinky meat and even kill people. Some even use the name of our Heavenly Demon Sect to snatch other people’s daughters and other people’s things when giving out meat.”
Zhang Mo frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? Do they not want to live anymore?"
Yang Shuo said: "Yes. It seems that he just doesn't want to live anymore. Before we could go to investigate, they took care of it themselves. Either they absconded out of fear of crime, or they disappeared without being seen alive or dead. Sect Master, look at this. Don't beat these big families. I think they are in trouble and are playing this trick with us. They think we are the imperial court."
Zhang Mo thought for a moment and said, "Are the heads and elders of the big families also coming to the banquet?"
Yang Shuo nodded and said: "Yes, counting the days, we should all be here before dusk."
Zhang Mo said: "Well, I will handle this matter. By the way, when they come, you give this to them and let them handle it too."
With that said, Zhang Mo took out the Wuji Pearl and handed it to Yang Shuo.
Seeing that the Wuji Pearl was still there, Yang Shuo was slightly surprised. He thought this thing had been swallowed by Zhang Mo long ago.
Shouldn't this thing have the greatest effect after being swallowed?
The sect leader didn’t swallow it?
What does it mean to take it out and return it to the family owners?
Yang Shuo couldn't understand, let alone think clearly.
But his consistent loyalty and trust prevented him from asking any more questions.
Anyway, the sect leader has his own reasons for doing things. He just nodded and accepted without saying a word.
