Chapter 137 The Determination of His Holiness Huyan
"You see, it's not very easy to assign tasks. If you are reluctant to use these people, they will feel that you do not have the consciousness to lead them. Fengzhi sighed and looked up at Song Chengjie as he spoke, yawning, and jumped on Song Chengjie's body again with a technique under his feet, "Well, our task is much easier now." I'll leave the rest to you, servant. ”
Sighing helplessly, Song Chengjie said in his heart, aren't you planning to rest by yourself. Tugging the calf that hung down to his chest again, Song Chengjie stretched his body as much as he could, and walked towards the west of the city.
In the office, watching all this from a distance through the window, Hayato sat back at his desk with a sigh of relief, and said while reviewing the previous piles of reports: "When I first came here yesterday, I saw that the atmosphere here was not right, and I thought that there were few people under that kid's hands who could use it, but now it seems that I am worried about being redundant." ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing superfluous. Didn't you see that a few of them looked at Song Chengjie with the wrong eyes. And......" He yawned as he spoke, Venerable Huyan, who was sitting on the windowsill leaning against the window frame, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, his face was full of sleepiness, he didn't even open his eyes, and even the glasses that had been hanging on his face had long been thrown aside by him, and now they have been buried by the documents and disappeared, "Song Chengjie mentioned several times when he spoke that it was for Hongchuan, should you not understand." ”
Hearing what Venerable Huyan said, the pen in Hayato's hand paused slightly, but soon heard him smile slightly: "Forget it, don't worry about this, in short, it's better than I expected." By the way, Venerable, I have a small suggestion, that is, if you don't dislike it, those of you who survived can come here first. ”
Hearing this, his eyes widened slightly, and Venerable Huyan smacked his lips and asked, "Is it mutually beneficial?"
"No, no, you misunderstood me, Your Holiness. He was slightly stunned. Hayato immediately understood the meaning of Venerable Huyan's mistaken words, and hurriedly explained, "It's not for them to come to increase Hongchuan's internal strength during the Exorcist Conference, you have just experienced this, and I won't make such a request." It's just that even if the Five Elements Organ suffers heavy losses, it is still the power of the Chinese Federation. There is more or less to have a station. To tell you the truth, the Fifth Marshal of our Shield of Justice from the Demon Capital will arrive immediately on a transport plane, so I want to use this to transfer them to the Demon Capital for development. I don't know?"
After hearing this, he sighed softly, Venerable Huyan raised his hand, sucked his glasses out of a pile of documents, lowered his head slightly, and said while putting on his glasses: "I understand the kindness of my predecessors. It's just that the Demon Capital is located in a remote area, far away from the major earth veins and spiritual veins, although it is a prosperous place in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of our monks, it is nothing more than a barren land. Thank you for being so considerate of us, but I can't help it. ”
"Uh. That's right. There's no way around it. With some regret, Hayato didn't ask too much. The system of these people in the Five Elements Organ is indeed not something that they can understand, although they have the foundation of an onmyoji, but after all, the theory is also two organizations that are far apart, since the other party has said so, then it is not good for him to say anything, "Doesn't His Holiness plan to continue to sleep for a while?"
"No, that sentence reminded me just now. Although the spiritual veins of the imperial capital were destroyed, it is difficult to find a place with such luck in the land of China. But Hongchuan may be able to. ”
"Here?" repeated incredulously, the pen in Hayato's hand really didn't have the heart to continue writing this time. Seeing Venerable Huyan turn over from the windowsill, he hurriedly got up and walked over, "How can Hongchuan be here...... To put it mildly, many people at the bottom say that Hongchuan is a vicious place where disasters do not go alone, after all, any demon invasion and the war of the three clans start here. His Holiness. What do you mean?"
Listening to Hayato's words, the drowsy Huyan Venerable's head was in chaos, and he said casually without thinking about it: "How do you say it...... The first time I came to Hongchuan, do you remember why? ”
"I remember that it was to intercept the tampered Hongchuan leyline. Although he also knew that what Venerable Huyan was saying now was almost the same as what he said in his dreams, Hayato continued to answer the question, "But is there anything between the two?"
"Hayato-senpai. Are you sleepy so your mind is slowing down......"
Hayato twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, looked at Venerable Huyan who was walking beside him with his eyes closed, and said in his heart, although I admit that I am indeed very sleepy, I only don't want to be said by you!
Pushing his glasses and coughing lightly, Venerable Huyan turned a rare red face. Struggling to escape from his sleepiness, he continued, "I'm sorry, I was too sleepy just now. As the predecessors said, the Hongchuan leyline was intercepted by me once, but it was that interception that prevented the leyline that was originally connected to the spiritual vein of the imperial capital from being implicated by this accident. Moreover, thanks to the Yin and Yang who personally adjusted the Hongchuan leyline, he absorbed a lot of luck from the imperial capital spiritual vein, and now I think it is necessary to take a look at the level of this leyline. ”
While Venerable Huyan was talking in the office, Ming, who was closing his eyes and meditating in the last holy place, suddenly felt a chill, and his body trembled and sneezed: "Hey, why do you suddenly feel a little cold......
In the office, Hayato, who had sent away Venerable Huyan, understood what he was thinking. Pacing back and forth in the room, Hayato didn't feel much sleepy: "Since you have taken a fancy to Hongchuan, then I won't say anything." But if Hongchuan really becomes the next imperial capital...... Is he really going to make that kid king?"
In the corridor of the branch hall, the staggering Venerable Huyan suddenly dodged and took a step to the side, and almost at the same time, a pitch-black javelin-like thing passed through his afterimage, making a sound like soda and dissipating.
"Since you've woken up, don't pretend to be trapped to death, the old man almost thinks he can kill you. Ming's voice came from above the cloister, and Venerable Huyan looked up, and at some point this guy who looked like a schoolboy was already sitting cross-legged on the pillar.
"You have to be more polite to your current master, if you are really killed, you will become the target of public criticism again. Pushing his glasses, Venerable Huyan had completely lost the lazy appearance he had just now, and said as he continued walking, "Why do you remember that you greeted me early in the morning, isn't the environment in the last holy place very good?"
Got up and jumped off the pillar. Min patted his clothes and consciously followed behind Venerable Huyan: "It's not because someone is talking to me behind my back that I can't concentrate on my cultivation. Speaking of which, the feeling in the final holy land is not much different from that of the imperial capital. Don't talk about that, what are you going to do when you hinted early in the morning that you wanted me to come with you?"
"Investigate the leylines of Hongchuan and turn this place into a second imperial capital. ”
Looking at the back of Venerable Huyan in disbelief. Ming's footsteps were frozen instantly: "Are you crazy? The second imperial capital? Are you going to abandon the imperial capital? Or ...... Or is something wrong with the imperial capital?"
"Do you think that I, as the Venerable of the Five Elements Organ, would do such a rebellious thing? ”
He couldn't see Venerable Huyan's expression, but Ming could hear endless sorrow from that bland tone. Looking at the back that was still unshaken, Ming heard the answer he didn't want from the words that undoubtedly admitted his question in disguise. His hands were clenched tightly, and Ming's voice contained a terrifying killing intent: "It?"
Nodding, Venerable Huyan exhaled and said, "It secretly strengthened the family power through a trace of obsession attached to my father, and then eroded all the people of the Huyan family, and then used the power accumulated by the entire Huyan family for many years to defeat several other major families in one fell swoop...... Ten years of planning. A thoroughly good game of chess. ”
In the news from the four elders, his father Hu Yanfu was possessed by evil spirits, and he actually knew the reason and guessed the result, because he was the only one who could contact the seal in the underground spirit vein. Venerable Huyan has a blessing for many days, but Huyanjie, who has the closest relationship with him, is not so lucky.
The evil spirits attached to Huyan Venerable began to gradually transfer to Huyan's body, and every time Huyan Venerable went to the spiritual veins, he would more or less carry some miasma out, although it was impossible to check each time. But over time, the filth that has accumulated on Hu Yanjue's body is getting more and more.
Later, Venerable Huyan began to act as a shopkeeper, wanting to protect his father by leaving the spiritual vein of the imperial capital. But by then it was too late.
Looking at Venerable Huyan's tightly clenched trembling fists, Ming realized his helplessness and unwillingness.
"It's happened, but you can't just let it go. If the Imperial Capital Spirit Vein becomes a Death Vein, the power accumulated through the eons will undoubtedly become its bait, and when it grows stronger, it will be even more difficult to get rid of it. "I tried my best to restrain the anger and anger that came from instinct in my heart. Ming's brows furrowed tightly, "These exorcists are unreliable, and their abilities can't deal with them at all." I just don't know if those five are alive or not, if ......"
"I have a bolder idea, would you like to go crazy with me once? He interrupted. Venerable Huyan turned around slowly, but his face, which was originally smiling kindly, was cold and frightening at this time, and what was reflected through his glasses was a cold killing intent and a trace of rebellion from the soul, "Help me again, change this Hongchuan's luck!"
Frightened by Venerable Huyan's appearance, it was the first time for Min to see him show such an expression. Changing one's life against the sky or something is no longer a risk for a strong man like Huyan Venerable, and it can make him feel that it is a risk or even a madness......
Thinking so, Ming suddenly had an epiphany: "You have to think clearly, once you start, you can only succeed and not fail...... And, is he really someone you can trust?"
"Stargazing last night, my fate with him will not be broken. So I'm convinced that this is not my disaster! and I'm going to fight once, and I'm going to bet that it will work. As he spoke, Venerable Huyan gradually put away the fierceness he revealed, although his cultivation was already complete, but his true darkness had not been completely eliminated, and it was better not to be seen by others, "As for him, if you think I can't see it accurately, you can also give it a try." It's just that at least in this Hongchuan, I'm afraid there is no one who can replace him. ”
Seeing that Venerable Huyan gradually changed back to his previous gentle and harmless appearance, Min no longer had any doubts, and snorted lightly: "Hmph, since you have said so, if I, as a Shikishen, drag it out any longer, I will be punished according to the rules." I'll fight with you this time, but this time it will inevitably have some infection with it, and you and I have to be prepared. ”
"If you change your hexagram......
"Kill on the spot!"
After saying that, he showed a hideous smile that had been hidden for a long time at Venerable Huyan, and suddenly turned into a pitch-black light and gathered into his hand, condensing into a pitch-black rune paper in the blink of an eye.
"Huyan junior, your guts old man likes it tightly!hahaha......"
Listening to the still lingering voices around him, Venerable Huyan put the black uniform into his sleeve without leaving a trace, and walked out of the building with a slight smile.
In the west of the city, with the sigh of the sleeping wind, Song Chengjie began a new round of inspections.
Although some things in daily safety and population are done, Song Chengjie always has to show his face everywhere and take a look with his own eyes to really rest assured. Just like the last enchantment and those monsters, if he just listened to the report, he would be very unrealistic.
Although it has only been a few days, the environment here has improved a lot compared to the last time I came, the remains under the rubble have been cleaned up, the road has been widened a lot, and more importantly, with the help of the supplies sent down, although this is not a gathering place for survivors, it is already in shape, and everything is developing in a good way.
But...... Song Chengjie found that the only thing that remained unchanged here was the ultra-low favorability of those low-level people towards him.
"Really, is it the same here? There were a lot of children who were attracted to this blonde Lori, and the adults called them back to themselves. If you have a good relationship with children, your support rate will be higher in the future, tsk, it's really troublesome. Seeing that a few children who wanted to run towards him out of curiosity were stopped by their respective parents and taken back to the ruins, Song Chengjie's mood was simply lost to a low point.
Whether adults support themselves or not is only a matter of face, but if this attitude is also passed on to the next generation, it will affect your future foothold in Hongchuan. After all, the number of people in these informal survivor hubs accounts for about 70% of the entire city's population, and some unfavorable things can be truly tragic if they are passed down from generation to generation.
Sighing and continuing his journey, Song Chengjie suddenly felt a sharp killing intent lock him. It's just that the other party's strength that is completely inconsistent with the level of killing intent makes him almost laugh: "Yo, how was yesterday's registration, Lin Ran?" (To be continued.) )
