The rain came so suddenly and without warning, and there was not even a single cloud in the sky.

After all, the watering can can't be too accurate, and the wind in the air caused the offset, so, in fact, the heavy rain enveloped not only Tao County, but also the surrounding area.

"Click, click......"

The raindrops the size of beans were few at first, but in just a few breaths, they joined together, wetting a large area of ridges, mountains, and cities.

In the city and in the streets, people ran to the nearest building to escape the rain, looking stunned and happy.

"Wow-"

The rain was pouring down, and it was connected from under the dark eaves, and a puff of "smoke and dust" was almost raised in the courtyard.

A gust of cold wind blew into the lobby, and except for Lin Tuo, the rest of the people ran to the eaves in disbelief, stretched out their hands, and let the rain wet their clothes.

After a while, the county lord of Tao County suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Tuo, his expression was extremely complicated, he seemed to think of something, but after hesitating, he just gave a deep salute and said:

"I thank Mr. for the great kindness of the people of Tao County! I can't repay it, please take a break in the house, and wait for the county to arrange someone to prepare a thin gift......"

"Then you don't have to." Lin Tuo shook his head, interrupted him, and changed his words, "However, I really have a reluctant request. ”

"Please."

Lin Tuo stood up, looked through the heavy rain in the courtyard, looked at a hill in the south, and said:

"When I came, I saw that there was a closed and abandoned academy on that mountain, and I wanted to stay for a few days, I don't know if the county lord can agree."

College?

The county lord of Tao County was stunned, this was completely beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but say, "Of course you can, but ...... Dare to ask, why did the gentleman take a fancy to it? ”

Lin Tuo glanced at him and said, "I'm going to open a lecture hall, wait for some people, and then teach a few courses." ”

"Lecturing? Wait for others? The county lord looked dazed, only to feel that the young man in front of him was full of mystery, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Lin Tuo smiled and pointed in the direction of Kyoto and said, "They are already on the way." ”

……

……

After demonstrating the godly method of "praying for rain", Lin Tuo's request was naturally met without discount.

After the rain stopped, Lin Tuo refused the invitation of the county lord and followed the officials to live in the abandoned academy on Nanshan.

He was relieved when he had sent them away and made sure that there was no one around.

"I hope I toss this time, and don't waste my efforts."

deliberately went to Tao County to rain a little, Lin Tuo just wanted to spread his reputation.

"If there is no accident, the county lord of Tao County should have realized that my identity is abnormal...... At the very least, there will be associations.

After all, the news from Kyoto that the Holy Departure from the southeast had just arrived, and presumably he should have sent someone to Kyoto to report it at this time. ”

"According to my previous observations, Emperor Chi had already left Kyoto a few days ago and rushed to the southeast, probably on the road, you can meet it."

"A person who can call the wind and rain should be able to get their attention, right?"

Switch consciousness back to the ontology.

Lin Tuo sat in the renovated study, looked at the slanting shadows of the trees on the martial arts arena, and said to himself:

"It's still not very safe, it's better to toss out some more visions, anyway, no one has ever seen a saint, since you want to toss, then toss a big one."

Having made a decision in his heart, Lin Tuo probably had a plan.

……

……

"Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"In that academy in Nanshan, there is a Mr. Lin who lives in it, and the heavy rain before was invited by him to cast a spell."

"Really? No wonder, I say, how can there be so much rain on a sunny day? Could that Mr. Lin be a master of Shintoism? ”

"I don't know...... However, it should be, otherwise how could there be such a big mana? ”

After a new rain, there was immediately more discussion about Lin Tuo in the teahouse and wine shop in Tao County.

In small places, news always spreads faster.

Of course, Chi Guo does not have a master who can do magic, but this does not delay people's fantasies.

It's just that all the talk avoids the "saint" option.

This identity is too big, and even if the people of Tao County exhaust their imagination, they can only fantasize about Lin Tuo as a Shinto master who knows how to use magic.

But I didn't dare to think about what it would have to do with the legendary saint.

The discussion continued until the sun went down and endless darkness spread from the horizon.

County Yazhong.

The county lord of Tao County also ordered someone to pick up the lamp and prepare to light the candle.

However, at this moment, suddenly, he heard a burst of exclamations from outside the hospital.

"What's the commotion out there?" He couldn't help but ask.

Immediately, I heard louder noise outside.

"My lord, come and see!" There was even a public servant shouting.

The county lord was stunned, so he had to put down the official documents, hurriedly walked through the courtyard, and pushed open the gate of the street, and saw that there were many people stopping on the dim street, looking into the distance, and pointing.

He suddenly raised his head, and immediately, he was stunned to see that above Nanshan, a huge pillar of light appeared in the clouds.

It seems to come from above, penetrating the heavens and the earth, illuminating the entire mountain.

In the dim sky, it is extremely eye-catching.

It's like a miracle.

"This ...... Could it be ...... Something to do with that Mr. Lin? Witnessing this abnormal celestial phenomenon, the county lord was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but have a thought.

grabbed the subordinates who were watching the excitement at the door, and said confirmatively, "Have the people sent to Kyoto set off?" ”

"It's already gone."

"That's good...... That's good......" The county lord of Tao County looked at the strange celestial phenomenon that penetrated the heavens and the earth, muttering to himself, his expression was troubled by gains and losses.

The subordinate next to him was puzzled for a while, then swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"My lord, do you think this Mr. Lin is really ......?"

The county lord's eyes widened, and he also lowered his voice, but he said very seriously: "A vision from the sky, I'm afraid...... He really is! ”

Sage!

The saint that His Majesty is looking for as stated in the Kyoto decree really came to his own Tao County?

What a glory is this?

The county lord's heart was agitated, his face was full of blood and blood, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, returned to the house, took out his official position token, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates:

"That's right! You immediately take everyone and rush to Nanshan, block the road, and don't let the idlers disturb Mr. Rest! Just go! ”

"Huh? Be! ”

……

……

Leaving the mountain martial arts hall, in the study.

Lin Tuo stood beside the sand table, his right hand reached into the isolation cover, holding a flashlight, shining straight on the South Mountain.

Well, the brightness is the lowest level, but it's eye-catching enough.

"In that case...... No matter how dull you are, you should be able to know that something is wrong with me, right? ”

Lin Tuo thought silently, then turned his gaze in the direction of Kyoto and found the location of Emperor Chi and his party.

It's not hard to find.

Visually, coupled with frequent use of clones to descend on various areas and listen to the situation, he had already locked the direction very early.

"At this distance, if everything goes well, tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, the team from Kyoto should be able to arrive in Tao County."

After estimating the time, Lin Tuo nodded with satisfaction.

The pace was quite in line with his expectations.

The only problem is......

"Uh, I knew I had ordered a shelf or something on the Internet, and I kept holding the flashlight with my hands, so tired......"

……

……

In view of being too tired, Lin Tuo didn't play the lights for too long after all.

But for the people of Tao County, this is enough shock.

This is true even after the "celestial phenomena" have dissipated.

"Did you hear that?"

"You mean last night on the South Mountain, the vision of heaven and earth?"

"It is said that the county officials stayed awake all night and guarded the various intersections leading to Nanshan, saying that no one was allowed to go."

"You say...... What's going on? ”

"I'm afraid it's related to that Mr. Lin, it's okay in the past, the night he lived in Nanshan Academy, he had such a vision, I'm afraid it's ......"

"What?"

"You say...... Could he be the saint of the world that His Majesty the Emperor is looking for? ”

"Hiss......"

Similar rumors gradually spread throughout the town.

It lasted until late in the evening, when it went out as the smoke rose.

That night, in Nanshan, Tao County, the vision came again, and I don't know if it was an illusion, the people of Tao County always felt it...... Tonight's vision is a little more stable and longer than last night's.

……

Lin Tuo didn't care about these discussions, but was happy to see them come to fruition.

Placing the clone in Nanshan Academy and switching it occasionally is enough to cope.

When another morning came, the warm red light illuminated the remote city, and an army of bright armor and unashamed rushed into the county.

"Where is the county lord of Tao County?"

When the county lord, who had not slept all night, saw the large army and fluttering flags that appeared outside the door, and heard the shouting of the commander of the Royal Forest Army led by him.

The thin middle-aged man shivered fiercely, then straightened his waist and responded with a trembling voice.

And then......

The whole Tao County was boiling.

……

On the morning of the third day of Lin Tuo's arrival in Tao County, the whole city was under martial law, and Emperor Dachi led his entourage of courtiers and military horses to march through the streets of this small city, and after a short pause, he headed for Nanshan.

……

Meanwhile.

Inside the Yamamurai Museum.

Lin Tuo, who had already known about Emperor Chi's arrival through the sand table, silently stuffed the last xiaolongbao on the table into his mouth.

Then he took another sip of soy milk, wiped the corners of his mouth, and threw the takeaway package into the trash.

Then I sat down in front of the computer and checked the documents that had been sorted out.

Only then did he burp lightly and said, "Switch." ”

……

Nanshan Academy.

In an elegant and simple house, Lin Tuo, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, then touched his slightly bulging belly, and couldn't help muttering: "It's ...... to eat."

Immediately, I heard the sound of a trumpet coming from the bottom of the mountain, and listened carefully, as well as the noise of the carriage and horse procession.

Then, I saw several black shadows in armor flying up along the mountain road, standing outside the ruined walls of the academy, and said:

"When the Son of Heaven comes, I don't know the courtyard, but Mr. Lin?"

Lin Tuo, who had been prepared for a long time, had no intention of slowly testing with this group, so he immediately pushed the door out, and then said lightly in the stunned eyes of several royal forest officers:

"I know what you're waiting for."

"Please send it to Your Majesty, prepare a hundred and twenty talented people, and I will open a pulpit here to pass on what I have learned all my life to the world."
