The Three-Life Stone

Although Lin Mo ascended to that position by forcing the emperor to abdicate, he should be labeled a traitor, but no one would think so except for a note in history books.

Before Lin Mo rebelled, the people were living in poverty, the emperor was incompetent, officials abused their power, and the people were in low status and deserved death. After Lin Mo succeeded to the throne, he issued a tax-free policy, punished corrupt officials, and eradicated the disaster. The officials who were worried about him finally led him to confiscate the dirty money of the landlords and suppress the merchants who looked down on the people.

Later, Lin Mo gave some loose ends to these wealthy families. The policy that merchants could not become officials was changed for the insignificant small officials who did business. A lot of money was also extorted from the rich families to build roads and docks. The rich people in various places were more or less suppressed and then recruited by Lin Mo. The families who contributed the most money in each area could get a piece of Lin Mo's handwriting. The people who donated the most money for the repairs were ranked according to their ranking, and their names were engraved on the place where the construction was done so that people in later generations would know who donated the money to build this place.

Families that are already wealthy must want to buy a good reputation. They used to be able to act arrogantly, but now they are back to the situation before liberation. They pay a lot of silver to be able to have their names engraved on the stone tablet.

This money was taken from the people and used for the people, benefiting the people. Because the construction needed manpower, more people had jobs, and the construction of docks and roads made it more convenient for their descendants to travel. The policy of continuing to open up was that officials could open shops but they had to keep good records and they were not allowed to embezzle and abuse their power to do immoral things.

The treasury is becoming more and more full, the people live and work in peace and contentment, Lin Mo exempts taxes again for the Queen's wedding, and many families who were poor before can slowly eat meat and live a well-off life as long as they work hard. After Lin Mo has arranged everything, he will pass the position to his son. For the rest of his life, he will fight for freedom and to make up for Hua Xiaoyao. As long as Lin Xuan is not a tyrant and knows how to arrange people reasonably, this prosperous era can continue for a hundred years.

I don’t know whether Lin Mo and Hua Xiaoyao will have an afterlife, but it seems unimportant.

After so many years, Qin Yunhuai's followers are now reduced to dozens of people. Under Qin Yunhuai's brainwashing, these people, who originally had few evil thoughts, are willing to cultivate themselves to become immortals.

When Qin Yunhuai returned to the cave, all these people were dead. Qin Yunhuai found it somewhat amusing to see his former subordinates gathering many little demons to attack him, the former master of the demon world. He asked himself, "How could it be better for them not to interfere with each other? Why did they come here to seek death?"

Qin Yunhuai's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a creepy smile. His eyes revealed an unspeakable madness. He bit his lower lip, his teeth sank into the soft skin, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.

This strange scene reminded people of the legendary rebirth of evil spirits, the horror and evil that returned from hell. At this moment, Qin Yunhuai was like that evil spirit, exuding a suffocating breath. His laughter echoed in the air, with a twisted madness that made people shudder.

He opened his arms and flew into the air, his black clothes rustling, and his hair fluttered in the wind, dancing wildly, showing a wild and unrestrained aura.

When he opened his eyes again, his clear eyes turned dark red, like two burning flames, revealing endless majesty. At this moment, his entire aura was shrouded in black, as if he had merged with the darkness.

The person who came was panicked. He thought that Qin Yunhuai had lost his nature due to worldly emotions and his appearance had changed a long time ago. But when he saw him today, he was even worse than before.

The demon leader originally intended to make the little demons obey and expand the team, so killing the once world-famous demon master was undoubtedly an excellent "letter of surrender". However, when he witnessed the terrifying pressure brought by the inky black aura, everyone present couldn't help but feel fear. If it wasn't for the time being, he would have retreated and fled from here as if he had never set foot here.

The group of demons were still pretending to be calm and letting the little demons rush in front. When the little demons saw how calm their leader was, their frightened expressions calmed down. They thought that the other party was just pretending, so they rushed forward in one go, but were blocked outside the barrier. The weapons in their hands made a ping-pong sound, and they could not move forward at all.

Qin Yunhuai glanced at the soldiers indifferently. Some of them had followed him before, and some were recruited later. However, his target was not these stupid soldiers. His deep voice reached everyone's ears: "You accomplices were all instigated. I can spare your lives. If you persist in your delusion, I will kill you all."

The little Luoluo had never seen such a posture before. The barrier did not show any cracks under the attack, which showed that this person's Taoism was much higher than theirs. However, the bigger demons still did not give up. Some of the little Luoluo who had followed Qin Yunhuai wanted to retreat, while others hoped that they could stand out in this war and make a name for themselves in the demon clan. Among the remaining people, some were slacking off and did not want to die, while others were loyal to their duties. They knew that their position was cannon fodder.

The scene was chaotic for a while. If someone took the lead in evacuating, it would shake the hearts of more people. The devil did not want to see this happen and planned to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Qin Yunhuai saw everything from above and conjured up another barrier to protect the little monks. Many little monks had nothing to understand when they saw this scene. Since it was none of their business, let the people above fight among themselves. It would be death either way, and Qin Yunhuai still protected them, so let's hope that Qin Yunhuai wins.

After Qin Yunhuai gave the barrier to everyone, he withdrew the barrier on his body and rushed towards the demon behind him. Countless spells mixed together, and the scene was chaotic, comparable to an explosion accident, with dust everywhere and the sound of fighting everywhere.

The demons were not in a good condition after the fierce battle. The fallen and injured were still unwilling to accept the defeat and glared at Qin Yunhuai fiercely. They still thought it was Qin Yunhuai's fault. If this man was still as heroic as before, not trapped by love, and did not mingle with the crowd, how could they set up their own faction? Now that it has come to this, a fight to the death is inevitable.

Blood flowed from the cut on Qin Yunhuai's clothes. The wound healed in a blink of an eye. They were just minor injuries. Qin Yunhuai looked at the demon and shouted, "You can't hurt me, why don't you surrender?"

The demon was also healing himself, but his power was not enough, so his recovery was slow. After catching his breath, they fought again. The many little villains regretted that they only brought weapons and not some fruits. They were very bored inside the barrier. Some of them who did not sleep well were already snoring. In the first battle, Qin Yunhuai beat them hard and the outcome could be guessed without watching the whole battle. The demon seemed unwilling to give up and fought again to save his face.

This time, all the demons fell to the ground. Qin Yunhuai came to a subordinate he once valued in disappointment. He was too lazy to call his name. Qin Yunhuai looked down at the other person. The demon trembled in his heart, wondering whether Qin Yunhuai would consider their friendship and was about to say something to play the emotional card, but Qin Yunhuai looked away in disappointment and a black hollow sword appeared in his hand. The sword, like Qin Yunhuai, exuded black mist and pierced the demon's heart with one sword.

Qin Yunhuai knew that this subordinate had great ambitions, and it was his efforts that enabled him to be reused in the first place. However, after learning that Qin Yunhuai had no intention of expanding the demon clan, he began to have other thoughts. Although the other demon leaders who followed him were dissatisfied, they had lived in peace for nearly a thousand years, and some of their other thoughts had long faded away. However, this demon leader still devoted himself to cultivation, and tried to replace Qin Yunhuai's position. After Qin Yunhuai noticed this, he let him go. His subordinates were instigated, and as time went by, most of them left one after another.

Qin Yunhuai collected his thoughts and took away 30% of the magic power of the other demons as punishment. He waved his sleeves and untied the barrier that bound Xiao Luoluo. Xiao Luoluo just expressed his sincerity, but Qin Yunhuai turned his back to these people and showed his side profile and said coldly: "You are not worthy to be my subordinates."

So, in front of everyone, Qin Yunhuai gathered the bodies of his former followers in front of him, and at the cost of sacrificing his own cultivation, he resurrected these kind little demons.

When the little demons woke up, they were still confused, as if they were dead. They also only saw Qin Yunhuai's back and his cold voice: "Everyone has their time to meet and separate. Fate has come to an end. You can walk the rest of the way by yourselves. Since you have followed me for so many years, I will grant you a higher level of cultivation."

Qin Yunhuai transferred spiritual power to these people. Even though their cultivation in the devil way was not conducive to their cultivation of immortals, they had to save their own lives first before they could think about whether they could become Buddhas one day.

The reason these people were unwilling was not because they despised this magic technique, but because Qin Yunhuai had done enough for them under their protection, and he even resurrected them today. They were so useless, how could they have the nerve to ask for Qin Yunhuai's cultivation again?

Qin Yunhuai didn't care about their thoughts. These people had been able to stay with him for so many days. Now that they were going to disband, he wanted to do something to make their years of sticking together worthwhile. He couldn't ignore their loyalty.

The farce ended just like that. The little monks gathered together and went to Changtai Mountain. They cleaned up the abandoned place and practiced their own cultivation. They lived the life of hermit villagers. There was no leader. Everyone was of the same class. They made rules, selected law-abiding people, and abided by this tranquility together.
