Chapter 16 Summer Rain in the Imperial City, First Auxiliary Talk

A heavy thunderstorm representing the arrival of midsummer soon swept through the entire Nanling Province and even half of the Yunqin Empire.

While the heavy rain makes the road muddy and difficult to walk, it will also wash away many traces of breath and human activity, and many reckless cultivators bathe in the rain silently when the rainstorm comes, letting the rain wash away their dusty bodies at the same time, they also know that before the end of the rainy season for more than ten days, it is impossible to find Lin Xi again.

Lin Xi, Gao Yanan, Huo Qing and other more than 200 strong-willed Yunqin soldiers walked in the torrential rain.

In the rainstorm, it is easy to be hit by raindrops to make a sound, and the weight will be very heavy after soaking, and the more physically demanding Yunqin black leather armor has been discarded by them, everyone is just wearing cloth clothes, and the blades are also wrapped in cloth strips.

This kind of weather, where visibility is extremely low and rain will wash away all traces of activity, is actually the most suitable for the activities of a windranger like Lin Xi.

But a practitioner is also a human being, after all.

The non-stop fighting some time ago made the fatigue spread in their bodies like moss on the stones in wet weather, and the recovery of their bodies became slower and slower, and although they kept killing the Great Mang cultivators these days, the frequency of encountering the Great Mang cultivators was getting higher and higher, and there seemed to be more and more powerful cultivators who were difficult to deal with, which made Lin Xi and Gao Yanan sure that the Great Mang cultivators they killed were definitely not as many as the Great Mang cultivators who had just entered Nanling Province, and according to this situation, I am afraid that even the cultivators of the Holy Master level would appear。

Although in the first year or two of the Great Mang Dynasty, because of meddling in the Biluo Tomb, because of the killing of Li Ku, because of the eradication of the power of the old emperor, the cultivators of the Holy Master Rank and the cultivators of the Great Master Rank lost a lot, and the cultivators of the Saint Master Rank took on a more important responsibility... However, when the Damang military and Purgatory Mountain discovered that even so many Great Master-level cultivators could not kill Lin Xi, the Damang Dynasty and Purgatory Mountain would also be forced into a desperate situation by Lin Xi, and in desperation, they would also squeeze out a Saint Master-level cultivator to deal with Lin Xi.

There is a bottom line to everything.

Lin Xi was very clear about the bottom line of his cultivation, so after the midsummer rainstorm came, he chose to lead these troops to retreat through Qianxia Mountain, and no longer entangled with these reckless cultivators.

There was a loud "boom".

A bright bolt of lightning rushed down from the sky, striking a large tree at the foot of the hill ahead, and the trunk of the tree was split open, and some fire was kindled, and then it was quickly extinguished by the rain.

"Do you mean that in the 'previous world' you are talking about, this kind of lightning can be used, even stored, and then driven by machinery?" Gao Yanan tried to open his eyes in the rain and asked Lin Xi softly.

Curiosity is anyone's nature, and it is the natural right of a young girl.

Along the way, Gao Yanan has asked Lin Xi to say a lot of things in detail about the world that can only be explained by "dreams".

Seeing this Xia Lei's terrifying Tianwei at this moment, she felt even more that what Lin Xi said was even more incredible and unreasonable, but it could be listened to as a good and interesting story.

"Yes. Lin Xi hadn't talked about these things buried in his heart for a long time, and he was also happy to have an audience like Gao Yanan, looking at Gao Yanan under the washing of the rain, his face looked surprisingly white and delicate, he smiled and raised his head slightly, put a curtain in front of his eyes with his hand, looked at the sky, and said: " This kind of lightning can be conducted by metal, and I just thought that if it was a kind of thunderous weather, if you used some hot air balloons, with some iron nets attached to iron cables, and then threw them into the enemy's ranks, if you were lucky, you might be able to electrocute a lot of people. It's just that it's dangerous to control it yourself... Because the power of this thunder and lightning is too great, I can only think of a way, one person can control a lot of this kind of hot air balloon that has been thrown off the iron net to guide the mine, but he must be absolutely insulated. Use a very long rubber roller? Or let the master master make a hermetically sealed piece of rubber armor?"

"I don't think any master craftsman will be bored enough to do these things for you with the idea of watching the weather and eating. Gao Yanan laughed, "Unless you can make lightning fall whenever it comes." ”

Lin Xi was stunned, and suddenly embarrassed to Gao Yanan's ear, "Actually, I still have a secret I forgot to tell you... My soul power can inspire golden lightning like the eldest grandson Wujiang, just after Biluoling, I was shot by him at the same time..."

Gao Yanan was also stunned, and turned his head to look at Wei Suo in the heavy rain, "... Equivalent to soul melting?"

"You're the real chosen one, so smart that even I can't keep up with your thinking. Lin Xi smiled a little wryly and said with some sighs.

Gao Yanan took a deep breath and admonished with great solemnity and seriousness: "This secret must not be known to anyone, otherwise it will be difficult for the Holy Lord to accept it, and it will be absolutely impossible for him to allow you to have something that the eldest grandson can have, and he will definitely kill you at all costs." ”

"Of course, of course, he doesn't want me to be a prince or a prince. Lin Xi smiled bitterly, "So even if I was against the Purgatory Mountain Priest, I didn't reveal this secret." ”

Gao Yanan saw that Lin Xi understood, so he didn't say much, and after being silent for a while, he relaxed, and said softly: "So according to the message on the inscription, Dean Zhang should have gone to the Ascending Mountain Range?"

"It should be. ”

Lin Xi pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that I think since Dean Zhang didn't tell Vice Dean Xia about them, he naturally had his intentions, maybe he didn't want the people from the academy to go on adventures with him, especially since he hasn't appeared so far... I thought that maybe he meant that only people like me, after they reached the cultivation of the Holy Master, would they be safer after going to the Ascending Mountain Range. So I think I should respect what he means and still keep it a secret. ”

Gao Yanan nodded, but in the rain, she put her hand on Lin Xi's palm again, and said calmly: "If you want to go in the future, I will go with you." ”

Lin Xi turned her head and looked at her unusually clean and beautiful face in the rain, thinking that just with you, it would be worth it to come to such a world. So he smiled warmly and nodded heavily, "Okay, we'll go together in the future." ”

......

......

When Xia Yu swept through most of the Yunqin Empire, the news that the Damang Prince Zhantai was assassinated by Lin Xi's front line was confirmed, and it had also spread throughout most of the Yunqin Empire and reached the Zhongzhou Imperial City.

In fact, Lin Xi's idea was very simple from the beginning, and he also saw himself very clearly.

He is just a fish in the big river, and he has no ability to change the occurrence and direction of many things in this world, so he does not expect anything from himself, and does not do things that will be very painful if he cannot do it.

He just simply took revenge, to kill Xu Qiubai and kill Wenren Cangyue.

In this process of taking revenge and making yourself stronger, if you can save some people, you will try your best to save some people.

was able to kill Xu Qiubai, just because Xu Qiubai didn't know his secret, and he challenged the city by himself.

As for the killing of Prince Damang, it was also purely accidental and coincidence.

However, these things he did unintentionally, plus the fact that he was always alive... At the moment when the entire Yunqin Empire encountered this kind of crisis, the feeling given to all Yunqin people was completely different.

The vast majority of people naturally regard him as a hero who is not shocked by honor and disgrace, and he has become a symbol of light in the hearts of more and more Yunqin people.

He is the embodiment of glory and light.

In the mansion of the head of the text.

At this moment, Wen Xuanshu, the first minister of the Yunqin Empire, calmly looked at the banana tree under the rain eaves outside the house, and watched the silver-like rain knock on the green leaves of the banana tree, making a nice sound.

"After the Ascending Mountains?"

His smooth forehead was wrinkled with a few wrinkles because of his slight frown, like a few cold blades.

"Yes. ”

Xu Zhenyan, who was sitting at the bottom of him, looked indifferent, "According to the records of the treasurer of the Hanlin Academy, the books that Zhang Fengfeng borrowed at that time happened to be ancient books that recorded things about the things after the Ascending Heaven Mountain Range. ”

Wen Xuanshu said calmly: "This shouldn't be a coincidence?"

"Probably not. Xu Zhen nodded and said: "Among so many imperial court offerings, the most powerful one is the Great Offering Ni Henian, but the one closest to the saint and the most trusted by the saint is Zhang Qiuxuan, who has been his personal guard since childhood. Zhang Qiuxuan is also equivalent to half of the teacher. And I have already checked, and there is sufficient evidence to show that on the day Zhang Qiuxuan borrowed those books, he had a meeting with the saint. ”

"Many accidents, some small traces are linked together, and it becomes inevitable. Wen Xuanshu put down the case file in his hand and looked at Xu Zhenyan, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Zhenyan's face did not change, and he said coldly: "What my lord means is that there was a major event that happened that year... Dean Zhang left the academy and never reappeared. ”

Wen Xuanshu smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Zhenyan.

Xu Zhenyan then said slowly: "Because there is no detailed introduction of those ancient books in the treasury records, if you want to know the specific content of these ancient books and whether they are related to Dean Zhang's disappearance, you still have to deal with Zhang Qiuxuan." ”

"The major event of that year was not only Dean Zhang's departure from the academy, but also his reappearance. Wen Xuanshu nodded in satisfaction, his brows loosened, but the look on his face was more calm and more majestic, and the corners of his mouth brought a hint of irony: "The more than ten true dragon guards left by the emperor that year are missing, and I know that there are several imperial court worshippers who have never appeared in the world, and they have also disappeared together." Therefore, in the next many years, the saint will be in a hurry to expand his strength, and will even try to secretly make a deal with Da Mang. ”

Xu Zhenyan's breathing was a little stagnant.
