Chapter 70: Serve the country faithfully, and be exempt from responsibility
Chapter 70: Serve the country faithfully, and be exempt from responsibility
Lin Man'er rode the five-tailed Mianyin antelope to the Tianbao Pavilion in Rongcheng. I was bored on the road, so I started chatting with him.
"I remember you're the third, right?" Lin Man'er asked while picking up the wool.
"Yes!"
"Then what level of cultivation are you doing now?"
"Fourth Order."
"Oh, it's all fourth-order, that's pretty fast. By the way, you should belong to the Array Pet now, right? ”
"Yes!"
"And what do you usually do?"
"Three things, cultivation, memory, and formation."
Lin Man'er remembered what Yanzi said about the formation pets, and it seemed that there were only these three things. At that moment, he picked up a pinch of wool, put it on his chin, took out a bronze mirror and looked at it, nodded with great satisfaction: "Well, this is the real goatee!" ”
After hearing this, the five-tailed Mianyin antelope finally returned to its place. He was really afraid that Lin Man'er would suddenly get up and pull out his beard.
Interestingly, Lin Man'er seemed to guess his mind and quipped: "Don't worry, I'm not that boring." You're getting a little older now, and I want to lie down and sleep for a while. When you get to Rongcheng, you'll just wake me up. ”
The five-tailed Mianyin antelope did as he was told, and its size became five times larger. Lin Man'er was lying on the woolen blanket very much, and she didn't know if she was too tired or too comfortable, so she soon fell asleep.
In the dream, he seemed to see a familiar back, and when he walked in, it turned out to be Heyi. Curious, he asked, "How did you get into my dream?" ”
He Yi took Erlang's legs, leaned on the black jade throne, and said a little boringly: "You have been killing too heavily recently, and one foot has already stepped into the black abyss. As a child of darkness, I can easily enter your dreams. ”
"Uh...... I'm curious, where is your so-called kingdom of darkness? ”
"Where there is darkness, it is my kingdom."
"Including dreams?"
"Yes."
Lin Man'er thought for a moment and asked, "Then can you leave the ancestral star?" ”
"Of course, the Heavenly Gate of the Ancestral Star is like an ornament to me. However, if it is completely shut down, it is still a bit troublesome. ”
"This ...... Can you take me away from the Ancestral Star? Lin Man'er said expectantly.
Heyi sat up straight and looked playful: "Of course you can, but ...... You're going to have to pay a price. ”
"At what cost?"
"To surrender to darkness is to confess that I am Lord."
"Oh, I didn't say that. If you're all right, get out of here! ”
"Hehe, you don't want to know, why did I come to you?"
"Hmph, do you need to ask? You're just trying to trick me into joining you. Unfortunately, I firmly believe in the light and will never fall. ”
"You are wrong, I am here to tell you that the envoy of the Heavenly Court has reached the Ancestral Star. Presumably, the gate of heaven was closed in these days. And the light you believe in can't help you, only I can take you out of this cage. ”
"Hmph, are you stupid? Although you can help me get out of the cage of the ancestral star, you can also lead me into the cage of darkness. I can still tell which is more important. ”
He Yi stood up, stroked his black jade throne, and said with a deep face: "Brother Lin, this world itself is a huge cage. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape. ”
"Don't talk nonsense in front of me, do you think I'm one of those fools who was fooled by you in a few words?"
"Hehe, since Brother Lin doesn't believe me, then what do you care about Heavenly Dao?"
Lin Man'er replied without thinking: "The way of heaven is the rule, it is the ......" As she spoke, she suddenly lost her words.
"Hehe, the way of heaven is the rule, so who set the rules? And for whom are the rules set? Immortal Monarch, Star Monarch, or Emperor Monarch? ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"I don't want to say anything, and I can't say anything. I only hope that Brother Lin will make a decision early, otherwise I won't be able to help you. Then he wanted to leave.
Lin Man'er said to stop: "Wait, I want to ask, does the underworld exist?" ”
"Of course it exists, it's just mythologized."
"Then your kingdom is Hades?"
Heyi sighed and said, "Alas, Brother Lin, you still don't understand what I mean. The kingdom of darkness can be Hades or Heaven. It can be in the Ancestral Star or anywhere in the Heavenly God Domain. With that, he sat on the black jade throne and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Man'er woke up suddenly, and looked around, the sun was in full bloom, and the shade of the trees was cloudy. At that moment, he seemed to understand something in his heart, and he seemed to be more and more confused. Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted his train of thought. Looking for prestige, it was actually Meihuawei who was attacked.
Lin Man'er had doubts in his heart, and asked the five-tailed Mianyin antelope to stop temporarily. After that, observing the situation, he found that there were three forces that robbed the Plum Blossom Guard, and the leader of each force was a seven-rank war cultivator. And these three seven-rank battle cultivators have met Lin Man'er once, and they are all the ancestors of the local cultivation sect in Meizhou.
When the carp chamber of commerce expanded outward before, it was blocked by these three. At that time, it was Fan Haoyang and Vice President Zhu Feng who came forward to solve the problem. Now seeing these three again, Lin Man'er couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, the five-tailed Mianyin antelope seemed to sense something, and said to Lin Man'er, "President, my fourth brother seems to be here." ”
"Oh, who is that?"
After observing carefully, the five-tailed Mianyin antelope replied, "It should be the spear general who was besieged." ”
After Lin Man'er saw the other party's appearance clearly, she not only frowned and said, "How could it be him?" After a pause, he asked, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”
These words made the five-tailed Mianyin antelope a little unconfident, and after confirming it again, he affirmed: "President, my fourth brother is on him, he can't be wrong." ”
After Lin Man'er hesitated for a moment, she still chose to show up. However, the way he showed up was a bit scary. That is, the dragon and phoenix two kicks. At that moment, the three spear cultivators in the seventh-rank battle cultivators were kicked by the fire dragon and fire phoenix, and they instantly lost their combat power.
The plum blossom guards below looked up one after another, and when they saw Lin Man'er who had risen from the dead, they all showed surprised expressions. Dongfang Yun, who took the lead, raised a shot to force back the other two seven-rank battle cultivators, and was just about to give up his hand to thank him, when he suddenly lost his words.
Lin Man'er looked at Dongfang Yunju and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, you haven't grown at all!" ”
Dongfang Yunju reacted, remembering Lin Man'er's move just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even if I make progress, I can't catch up with your speed!" ”
"Uh...... That's true, my progress is indeed faster. ”
"Hehe, it is said that if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, it seems that you have gained a lot this time!"
Lin Man'er shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's okay! It's just eight products. ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Dongfang Yunju, even the other two seven-rank battle cultivators were shocked. Looking at the ally who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, the two exchanged glances and ordered their disciples to evacuate quickly.
It's a pity that at this moment and that time, Dongfang Yun raised a shot to stop the two of them, and ordered the plum blossom guard to exterminate the thieves. However, Lin Man'er stood on the back of the five-tailed Mianyin antelope with his hands on his shoulders, without the slightest intention of making a move.
Although Dongfang Yunju's strength is much higher than that of the three seven-rank battle cultivators, it is still a little difficult to one-on-two. As for Meihuawei, after undergoing reforms, the overall strength has also been greatly improved. It's a pity that the tiger is also afraid of wolves, and in the face of thieves three times his size, he is also powerless!
Dongfang Yunju couldn't guess Lin Man'er's thoughts, so he had to go all out to deal with the two seventh-grade battle cultivators in front of him. However, his side was fine for a while, but the plum blossom guards under his command were miserable. Originally, they were at a disadvantage, but now the thieves are fighting desperately under the pressure given by Lin Man'er, and in just a short time, seven plum blossom guards have been killed.
Dongfang Yunju couldn't help it and asked, "Aren't you still making a move?" ”
Lin Man'er pestled her chin, looking embarrassed: "It's not that I don't make a move, but I don't know who to help." ”
"These thieves did not respect the king's order and refused to go to Wushan to fight the enemy. That's fine, but they gathered people to make trouble and scourge Meizhou. So, don't you know who to help? ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the two seven-rank battle cultivators defending: "President Lin don't want to believe his words, this matter is obviously because their Donghao royal family has deceived people too much, forcing us to rebel." ”
"Oh, and that? So how did they force you? Lin Man'er pretended to be surprised.
"Their Donghao royal family wants us to send more than half of our disciples and elders to Wushan, but how can we and other small sects withstand this toss. As a result, resource compensation was proposed. But not only did they not give it, but they threatened us with the destruction of the sect and the sect. In desperation, I joined forces with the other two sect ancestors to fight.
In this way, we will become thieves in their mouths, and we will be exterminated. May I ask President Lin, if this matter is put on the head of the carp chamber of commerce, how should you decide? ”
Before Lin Man'er could answer, he heard Dongfang Yunju scold: "You two old thieves who turn black and white upside down, how can my Donghao royal family ever threaten you?" Isn't it your own lion who opens his mouth and makes it difficult for the country to make a fortune? ”
"It's ridiculous, the old man sent all his apprentices and grandchildren to the battlefield, shouldn't your Donghao royal family compensate you?"
"Hmph, because what you said is justified, I'm afraid you want to exchange the lives of your disciples and grandchildren for your wealth in Shangzhou, right?"
"How can the old man use compensation is his own business, what does it have to do with you? What's more, the old man didn't think about it that way at all. ”
Lin Man'er understood it, thinking that it was Wushan who was in an emergency, which forced the royal family to mobilize all the cultivation forces in the country. And these three old things want to exchange the lives of their apprentices and grandchildren for wealth, but they want too much, and the royal family can't give it.
Thinking of this, Lin Man'er opened the realm of wind and restrained all the disciples of the Plum Blossom Guard and the three factions. After that, he said in a deep voice: "I think you all know me, I have also been to Wushan, and I almost lost my life." But so what? Should you go or you have to go. Otherwise, the demon army has really come over, and none of you will want to live. ”
However, one of the bound disciples mustered up his courage and asked, "Don't fool people here, since the front line is so critical, why don't you let all the people from your Carp Chamber of Commerce go to Wushan?" ”
"That's a good question, then I, as the president, will give you a good talk. First of all, our chamber of commerce invested a lot of resources in Wolf Mountain to try to build a city in the mountains. Later, with the unremitting efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, it always succeeded. Afterwards. Our Chamber of Commerce did not make a huge profit from this, but sent it to the royal family along with the construction drawings.
Of course, our new monarch is not bad, and he has given a little compensation. So, President Xiao took the compensation and took people to Shangzhou for development. At that time, the situation in Wushan was not so bad.
But even so, I still went to Wushan to fight the enemy without hesitation. On the first day of the battle, he made a lot of achievements. Later, for various reasons, I was forced to flee to the Star Dou Continent. At that time, it was the Supreme Snow Cloud Eagle who chased and killed me.
Later, I single-handedly disturbed their rear. But because of this, there was nowhere to stay, so he risked his life and fled back. Not only that, but when I returned to Sioux City, I found that the people who stayed behind at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce responded to the call and also went to Wushan. Tell me for yourself, is the Carp Chamber of Commerce worthy of Donghao? ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, he continued: "But this is how he served the country, but he was taken advantage of by some wandering thieves to destroy the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, those rogues also paid a heavy price and were burned alive by me. Presumably, you're not in the same league as those rogues, right? ”
"That's a good question, then I, as the president, will give you a good talk.

Of course, those rogues also paid a heavy price and were burned alive by me. Presumably, you're not in the same league as those rogues, right? ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone denied it.
Lin Man'er nodded, and asked again: "Since you are not a rogue, why did you rob the Plum Blossom Guard?" Was it because someone threatened that you were forced to do it? ”
Everyone seemed to understand, and they insisted that it was their own ancestors who persecuted them.
Lin Man'er sighed and pretended to say, "Although you were coerced, you violated the law of the country after all. I'm afraid ......"
As soon as the words came out of their mouths, they all shouted, "We are willing to go into battle to kill the enemy and atone for our sins." ”
"Good! Now that the national crisis is at hand, as long as you sincerely serve the country, I can still intercede for you. After that, he looked at Dongfang Yunju, who was still fighting fiercely, and shouted, "Did you hear me?" ”
Dongfang Yun raised the gap and replied: "Those who serve the country will be exempted from all crimes." ”
Lin Man'er coughed and advised: "After you go to the battlefield, you must learn to be smarter, if one can't be beaten, the two will join forces." Try to save your own life while killing the enemy. Of course, after I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will also go to Wushan to fight side by side with you to defend your homeland. ”
Everyone shouted in unison: Fight side by side to defend your homeland.
Lin Man'er pressed his hand, looked at the two seven-rank battle cultivators, and asked, "Are you two going to Wushan, or will I send you back to your hometown?" ”
The two of them each sighed and agreed to go to Wushan to kill the enemy.
Lin Man'er nodded with satisfaction, and then ...... Separately extracted a wisp of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid that you will run away halfway, but leave a thought." ”
The two of them did not dare to be angry or speak, and they hung their heads as if they had lost their souls. Lin Man'er didn't pay attention to them anymore, looked at Dongfang Yunju, stretched out his hand and asked, "The matter has been solved for you, give it back to me!" ”
Dongfang Yunju looked puzzled and said, "What do you want to return to you?" ”
"Are you still pretending to be stupid with me? Could it be that my seven-tailed Mianyin antelope is not on you? ”
Dongfang Yunju was still confused, and asked, "What seven-tailed Mianyin antelope?" I really don't know! ”
Lin Man'er's face sank, and she said with some displeasure: "Dongfang Yunju, you are pretending to be stupid with me, don't blame me for being polite." ”
"President Lin, I think you have misunderstood, I don't have what you want on me at all. If you don't believe you, you can search yourself. ”
Lin Man'er snorted and asked the old three or five Mianyin antelope under his feet to find the fourth child. As a result, the fourth child was not found, but he found a pinch of wool on the fourth child.
This time, Lin Man'er was confused, grinned, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu asked you to find the fourth child, but didn't let you find his wool." ”
The five-tailed Mianyin antelope was a little frightened: "Yes... President, I made a mistake just now, and the fourth child is not on him. ”
Lin Man'er took a deep breath and immediately reprimanded: "Have you stuffed wool in your ears?" I asked you to confirm it before, and you fucking confirmed a handful of wool, do you owe you a beating? ”
"But... Maybe I didn't... Didn't find it! ”
Lin Man'er snorted, looked at Dongfang Yunju, and asked, "Since you haven't seen the fourth child, what's the matter with the fourth child on your body?" ”
Dongfang Yunju seemed to think of something, and Chuanyin asked, "Is your Chamber of Commerce having a grudge with the martial family?" ”
"Yes, not long ago they attacked Longshan, and as a result, they were all slaughtered by me. Oh, ran an eight-rank gun fairy. ”
"That's right, I have met people from the martial arts family before, and among them is the eight-rank spear immortal Wu Haoying. Perhaps, he did something to me. ”
"Heh, it's a miracle that you're alive until now!" Lin Man'er mocked mercilessly.
Dongfang Yunju recalled the scene at that time and said with great certainty: "Although I am only a seventh grade, I will not let an eighth grade handle it at will." Come to think of it, it was another person who made the shot. ”
"The other? Who? ”
"If I guessed correctly, it should be one of the four masters of the martial arts family, Wu Lingyin."
"Heavenly Questioner? Which aspect? ”
Dongfang Yunju shook his head and said, "This is not clear, I know very little about Shangzhou." ”
"It seems that he is trying to deliberately distract me, so he should be afraid of me."
Dongfang Yunju guessed something, and said with a surprised expression: "You don't want to go to Tianbao Pavilion to make trouble, right?" ”
"Trouble? They destroyed the headquarters of our Chamber of Commerce and killed my people, how can this account be settled by making trouble? ”
"Alas, having said that, but the martial arts family is not easy to mess with, you better stop it! Otherwise, we won't be able to protect you. ”
"Do I need your protection? To tell you the truth, I killed four Supreme Demon Kings in a row in the Star Dou Continent. Now with my strength, don't say that I am just a heavenly questioner, it is our Donghao's first master - General Zhong Shengtian Zhong, and I am also confident that I can make two moves. ”
When Dongfang Yunju heard this, he almost doubted his ears. After all, Lin Man'er is less than a thousand years old, but the immortal who is less than a thousand years old has the combat power of the Nine Rank Immortal Monarch, and even the ordinary Nine Rank Immortal Monarch is really not sure to kill the four Supreme Demon Kings in a row. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Terran of the Ancestral Star to be afraid of the Demon Clan.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Yunju made a decision, looked at Lin Man'er and said, "Rongcheng is a state after all, and you will definitely be hindered if you want to do it." I will go back with you now and persuade the governor. Of course, if you can't do it in the city, don't do it in the city. ”
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Dongfang Yunju sighed in his heart, he didn't think that Lin Man'er was a measured person. I only hope that Rongcheng can lose a little less.
——————————
In the Rongcheng Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, the three high-ranking officials of the martial arts family were nervously discussing something. Among them, there is naturally Wu Haoying, an eight-grade gun immortal who escaped by luck. Across from him sat a heavily armed man, none other than his uncle, Takeo Teru.
However, neither of them was the main part of the trip to Meizhou. Obviously, they all have to obey Wu Lingyin, one of the four masters of the martial arts.
Interestingly, this Wu Lingyin is short in stature, immature in appearance, and has a piece of rock candy in his mouth all the time. Faced with the argument between Wu Haoying and Wu Xionghui, she was like a nobody, and captured the seven-tailed Mianyin antelope.
According to the previous task assignment, Wu Haoying led people to attack Longshan, which was the most heavily defended. Takeshi was in charge of attacking the headquarters of the Carp Chamber of Commerce. Wu Lingyin was responsible for guarding the Rongcheng Tianbao Pavilion.
However, this aunt insisted on going to Sioux City to have a play, so the plan was adjusted, and Wu Xionghui was in charge of taking care of the house. Interestingly, when Wu Lingyin arrived in Yanlin County, he temporarily decided not to go. The subordinates had no choice but to go to Suzhou City on their own, anyway, there were no masters over there, and the main purpose of this trip was to warn the fish baby in Shangzhou.
As a result, as mentioned before, the masters of the samurai family destroyed the major branches of the carp chamber of commerce one after another, and when attacking the headquarters, they encountered the seven-tailed Mianyin antelope. At that time, as soon as everyone in the martial arts family saw that their goal was basically achieved, they all went to chase the seven-tailed Mianyin antelope.
However, the seven-tailed Mianyin antelope was not a joke, and fled from Suzhou City to Pengcheng in a daze. I wanted to ask for help, but who knew that I met Wu Lingyin. As a result, it was easily captured.
After that, Wu Lingyin rode the seven-tailed Mianyin antelope and returned to Rongcheng. On the way, he happened to meet Wu Haoying, who was defeated and fled. When he heard that Lin Man'er was still alive, Wu Lingyin suddenly became interested and wanted to go to Longshan to meet this immortal genius for a while.
