A loud "bang" sounded, and the sound was so loud that even Xu Yan, who was surfing the Internet in the room, was alarmed. He came out of the bedroom and walked briskly to the balcony, but saw that Zhu Youxiang was already standing on the balcony and looking - the balcony of Xu Yan's house was facing the road outside the community.

"What was the sound just now?

Zhu Youxiang turned her head, and under the noon sun, her calm face was like an ice pool frozen for thousands of years, calm and waveless: "I saw that two cars collided on the road outside the community - Xu Gongzi, according to your side, this should be a normal car accident, right?"

"A normal car accident?" Xu Yan felt that Zhu Youxiang's statement was a bit awkward - the car accident was originally an accident, and it was normal or abnormal?

He walked to the balcony and stood there looking for a while, through the dense greenery he saw only the wreckage of a truck and a sedan lying on the road, he saw people running from all directions, and soon a crowd gathered on the road, and the sound of ambulances and police cars could be heard in the distance.

Because he couldn't see clearly from too far away, Xu Yan quickly lost interest in this car accident. He said, "It doesn't seem like there's anything to see. Xuan Yun, what are you busy with?"

Zhu Youxiang was still staring at the direction of the car accident from afar, and after a while, she turned around, her expression was a little gloomy, she lowered her eyes, and said calmly: "It's nothing-I look, but Childe seems to have something to tell me?"

"Uh, yes, Xuanyun, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. ”

Zhu Youxiang glanced up at him and asked lightly, "Gongzi Xu, do you have any intention of helping your country's imperial court to resist natural disasters?"

For a moment, Xu Yan really had a creepy feeling, and his first reaction was: "Zhu Youxiang, this girl is too powerful, could she be a mind-reading person?" Oops, there are so many things that I thought about in front of her before...... Oops, I secretly compared her to Japanese romantic action movie actresses...... Oops, I'm going to die!"

Seeing Xu Yan's shocked face, Zhu Youxiang knew that he had guessed his thoughts. She smiled and said, "Childe doesn't need to be surprised--since the official of the Yamen in brocade clothes just now said that to Childe when he left, and now Childe is thinking about his piece in his hand - then, it is not difficult to guess what Childe is thinking. This, I just said it casually, but I didn't expect Childe to really think about it like this. ”

Zhu Youxiang explained, Xu Yan came back from the shock, and he sighed continuously: "Xuan Yun, you are really amazing! Your reasoning ability and observation skills, if you want to be a policeman, it is really suitable-uh, Xuan Yun, you know that I have this idea, aren't you angry?"

Zhu Youxiang looked at him in surprise, as if Xu Yan had said something very strange: "Why should I be angry?

She frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered the words that Xu Yan had told her: "-- The people under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic, the state of the son helping his parents, this is a matter of course." Moreover, this is a righteous thing to ward off natural disasters and save the people of Li - no matter what it looks like, it is both natural and humane, so why should I be angry about it?"

Zhu Youxiang was so reasonable, Xu Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief - confessing this secret to the government, what he was most worried about was that Zhu Youxiang would blame himself for leaking her secrets, since she was not surprised, Xu Yan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Then, Xuan Yun, if I really tell our government the secrets of these natural disasters, does it really matter?

"Gongzi Xu, you serve your court, serve the royal family, and save the people, this is a righteous and bright thing, how can I blame you?"

Zhu Youxiang stared at Xu Yan deeply, her gaze was very meaningful: "Just like in the future, if I serve the Ming Imperial Court, Xu Gongzi won't blame me, right?"

It's a pity that our Xu Yan is still too young, he didn't wake up at all, what a terrifying meaning Zhu Youxiang's meaningful eyes contained, he only thought that the other party was making an analogy casually, and said repeatedly: "Of course not, Xuan Yun You are from the Ming Dynasty, you serve your court, that is also a matter of course, so what's so strange?"

Zhu Youxiang smiled faintly: "That's very good—but, Gongzi Xu, how are you going to tell the officials of your country about the natural disaster?"

"This ......" Xu Yan was stunned. After thinking for a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "This, I really don't know." However, the section chief Shen who came today seems to be very polite, and he is okay, I want to tell him about it, Xuan Yun, what do you think?"

Zhu Youxiang glanced at the business card of Section Chief Shen in Xu Yan's hand, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said lightly: "This matter can only be decided by you, Gongzi, I am not familiar with this matter, and I can't build a plan for Gongzi." ”

"Uh, Xuan Yun, I've always heard you talk about natural disasters or something—I remember you told me that the Demon Snatching Incident wasn't a real natural disaster, the real natural disaster was that powerful demon creatures came to the world and killed a lot of people. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Zhu Youxiang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Master Xu, it's not that I'm stingy and unwilling to say it clearly, but it's actually because of a real natural disaster, but I haven't experienced it. My master Xia Jiansheng has personally experienced natural disasters and has fought with those monsters, but he is very secretive about this history and rarely mentions it to us.

However, I have read a lot of records about natural disasters in some of the classics of the academy. There are no less than 100 kinds of common natural disasters and monsters that have been recorded, and it is okay for them to appear alone, and human beings can still find ways to deal with them; but once they appear intensively on a large scale, they are encountered by the officials and soldiers, and if there are no cultivators on the scene to guard them, they are afraid that it will be difficult to resist, so they can only set up camp and wait for the monsters to disperse, and then hunt and kill them when they are scattered to forage for food and be alone, and break them one by one.

But according to what Master Wu said, there are still stronger and more terrifying monsters and demons, as for how terrible those monsters are, the master has never told us in detail, but I remember what he said, 'Those high-level monsters are no less powerful than Jindan Xiuzhen'. ”

The more Xu Yan listened, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Youxiang: "Xuan Yun, according to what you say, this kind of large-scale natural disaster will also occur on our side, will there be many kinds of monsters?"

Zhu Youxiang shook his head: "I can't assert this matter - natural disasters cannot be accurately predicted, this is an iron law." But before large-scale natural disasters, there are often many signs, such as the frequent occurrence of monster spirit seizures, such as the rampant demonic energy, such as the vision of heaven and earth, there will be a major drought or flood, and the vitality is chaotic and the vision is frequent.

Natural disasters are natural killing machines, and before natural disasters, there are often some people with keen inspiration who can first feel abnormalities, and they will be affected by demonic energy, and will feel abnormal irritability, irritability, insomnia, fear, or restlessness. Domestic animals such as cats and dogs can also be in abnormal states and bark wildly – but these signs are not very obvious and can be easily overlooked. ”

Xu Yan felt that listening to Zhu Youxiang say this, this natural disaster was a bit similar to an earthquake, and he asked worriedly: "Xuan Yun, if these signs appear, will there definitely be a natural disaster?"

"This ...... Not necessarily. In recent years, on the side of Wu Daming, I remember that in the past few decades, Henan Province, Lingnan Province and Shuchuan Road and other places have warned the imperial court, reported that there were signs of natural disasters in the local area, and asked for imperial reinforcements. After several years of holding on to such a tight position, there was no natural disaster to come—only to be sure in the end, but it was only a false alarm. ”

"In this way, the relationship between natural disasters and omens—if there are natural disasters, there must be omens, and if there are omens, there may not necessarily be natural disasters, is that so?"

Zhu Youxiang thought for a moment and said approvingly: "What Childe said is very accurate, and this is indeed the case. ”

However, according to the standards of the Ministry of War, the occurrence of such an incident as the entry of demonic qi into the body and the seizure of demonic nightmares is already a precursor of a crisis that the local government should be vigilant against. Shuchuan Dao, where Xiangwu was originally warned to rush to reinforcements, only had a dozen cases of demonic qi entering the body, and on the earth's side, the number of demonic qi entering the body has far exceeded this number, and at the same time, there have been demonic seizures, and the frequency is so high and so many times......"

Zhu Youxiang shook his head: "If there are so many incidents of demonic qi entering the body in a certain place on my Daming side, it means that the demonic qi in this place is already very strong, which is a very dangerous omen." If it is in my Ming Dynasty, it is time to requisition the guards to settle in at this time, and at the same time try to mobilize the cultivators to stand by and respond. ”

Xu Yan was secretly frightened when he heard this, and he asked Zhu Youxiang again: "Xuan Yun, according to what you see, if our country also starts to resist natural disasters, what should we do?"

"Well...... I'm sorry, Xu Gongzi, I am not familiar with the situation in your country, and I don't know anything about your country's armaments and government affairs, and I really don't know how to be effective.

However, according to the experience of the Ming Dynasty, some experience and practices are universal: mobilize troops and horses to stand by, raise vigilance, evacuate the people, and when natural disasters come, quickly find out where the monsters are assembled, and annihilate them one by one or gather to annihilate them. And the most important thing is to find the gaps in the space as quickly as possible - this is crucial!

If you can do this, those demons of the Demon Realm who arrive will have no backup, and the more they fight, the fewer they will fight, like a tree without roots, and they will naturally be wiped out quickly; if you can't do this, it will be troublesome, all kinds of Demon Realm monsters will continue to pour out, and they will be inexhaustible, and they will be flooded and difficult to cure - but it is not easy to do this, and you must have powerful officers and soldiers or cultivators to sit in the battle. ”

Zhu Youxiang said this, and Xu Yan listened very seriously. As for the other party's repeated emphasis on "officials, soldiers, and cultivators" to participate in the war, Xu Yan didn't really care about it, and bluntly ignored it -- modern weapons are so developed, aircraft, artillery, and tanks are infinitely powerful, and their lethality is huge, so much stronger than those soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who only know how to dance swords and wield swords, right?

As for the most critical question, how to find the spatial gap leading to the Demon Realm, Zhu Youxiang was vague on this issue. She said that according to the records of the classics, after the outbreak of natural disasters, the place near the gap, the demonic qi will become very strong, and often the closer to the gap, the more powerful the entrenched monster becomes, and those high-level cultivators can sense the storage of the spatial channel. However, because she herself has never experienced natural disasters, she herself is not very confident, so she is vague.

After talking about the natural disaster, Zhu Youxiang mentioned one thing: "By the way, Gongzi, Gongzi Xu, if I want to exchange the gold ingots into the RMB used in your land, where should I go to handle it?"

Xu Yan was still immersed in the major events of worrying about the country and the people, and it took him a while to react: "This, there are many places to redeem huàn." Xuan Yun, how much gold do you want to exchange?"

Zhu Youxiang asked rhetorically: "Xu Gongzi, if I want to maintain my living needs for a year, how much will I need to spend locally?"

"Well, I remember Xuan Yun, you don't go out much, and you don't have any other expenses and expenses...... A monthly expenditure of about 3,000 yuan for food and miscellaneous expenses should be enough. ”

"Three thousand yuan?" Zhu Youxiang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it makes my son laugh, I have always had a rough temperament, I have always been unrestrained, and I have never thought about spending money, and I am afraid that three thousand yuan is not enough - so let's do it, if it costs 20,000 yuan a month, I think it should be about the same." ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiang's words, Xu Yan really had a feeling of "local tyrants, let's be friends". He laughed dryly: "There are more than 200,000 yuan, and after a year, you don't have any special hobbies, it should be enough." What, Xuan Yun, do you want to exchange gold for living expenses? In fact, there are still a lot of leftovers from the last exchange, and there are almost more than 30,000 yuan, if you need it, I will give it to you. ”

Zhu Youxiang couldn't laugh or cry a little. In her opinion, this Xu Gongzi is kind-hearted and smart, but he is a little too petty and a little unable to let go of money. He had been thinking about it for so long, and he had been thinking about it - in fact, why should people who do great things care so much?

With the friendship between the two people, Xu Gongzi took in himself without relatives and no reason, and went through hardships with him, how can this favor and kindness be repaid with a penion of gold? Since the two are friends, what is that little money compared to the friendship between the two, compared to the loyalty and friendship? He has promised to teach Xu Gongzi the art of cultivating truth, and this is not a hundred times more precious than any gold and silver -- however, I heard that this Xu Gongzi is a small family from a small place, and there is nothing he can do if he has this problem.

She said gently: "I want to trouble Xu Gongzi, take me to the place where Huàn is exchanged—I wonder if Gongzi has time today?"

Today is Sunday, of course Xu Yan is free, he agreed to come down as soon as he pleased. At that moment, Zhu Youxiang changed into a modern girl's costume that was easy to go out, and the two went out together. At the gate of the community, the two found a taxi, Xu Yan told the driver to go straight to Chang'an Road, the taxi driver obeyed the order, but turned the front of the car, Xu Yan was surprised: "Master, Chang'an Road is not going in this direction, right?"

The driver seemed very talkative and said, "Young man, you don't know, there was a car accident in front, the traffic police closed the road, and a lot of police came, and they are investigating the scene." ”

"Ah, what kind of car accident is so great, and the road is closed?"

"I heard other drivers say on the radio that it was a big truck that suddenly rushed through the middle and hit a car parked on the side of the road, and two people in the car died on the spot...... Alas, what a miserable!"

"Ah, that's it...... Car accidents, this thing, it's terrible. You are walking like this by obeying the traffic rules, but you can't help it if people violate the law and bump into them like this. ”

"Isn't it? Damn you, you can't help it. Speaking of which, it's all fate. When I heard the news today, our drivers were talking about it. ”

Xu Yan and the driver talked energetically, Zhu Youxiang listened silently for a while, she turned her head expressionlessly, and looked at the row of green trees driving by at a fast speed outside the window, her eyes were a little complicated.
