Chapter 424: The Wind and Rain Are Coming

The Provincial Affairs Department covers a large area, with a fence outside, standing on the street through the verdant spirit trees, faintly visible blue bricks and green tiles, flying eaves and corners.

On weekdays, there are soldiers guarding the gate with blades, and those who are idle are not allowed to approach, and only today will the door be wide open.

Even so, not everyone can enter, but they have to queue up at the door, and each child gets a number plate and enters in order.

Lin Zhao and Lingyin and Xiaotong were also watching outside the Provincial Affairs Department.

At this moment, there are four or five queues at the door of the Provincial Affairs Department, and there is a queue of children with bright clothes, and Han Zi is also among them, standing there quietly at this time, with his hands crossed on his abdomen, his expression calm, and his eyes drooping.

Next to it, there were several teenagers talking loudly, as if trying to attract Han Zi's attention.

It's a pity that all kinds of efforts are destined to be in vain, and Han Zi didn't even raise his head.

Among the young people, there are two of them who are the most outstanding, one of them is dressed in a white robe, born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he is young, but he already has a trace of the grace of a jade tree in the wind.

The other was dressed in a tight-fitting samurai robe, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a resolute face.

The young man in the white robe is named Zhan Yunxiao, who was born from the Tianen Zhan clan.

The Zhan clan has many talents, and there are clansmen in all states who hold official positions, and their strength in Tian'en City can rank among the top three, far better than the Han clan.

The bloodline of the clan has a long heritage, and its ancestor was a captain in the first generation of the "Yuan Dao Army".

The first line of the Zhan clan in Tian'en City was originally a branch vein, but as time passed, the main vein was dilapidated, and it had long since lost its reputation, but this branch became more and more prosperous.

The thick-eyebrow boy is called Gong Xiaohu, although his family power is not as good as the Zhan family, but his grandfather Gong Jiucheng is the Zhaowu captain of the current Huazhou Yuan Dao Army, and he is also strong.

The other teenagers had their own backgrounds, and they looked at Han Zi with a little admiration from time to time, obviously moved by his appearance.

Lin Zhao looked at it and smiled slightly, and said in his heart that this young man in the Shenlun realm was precocious, and he knew how to flirt with girls at such a young age.

It's just that this method is too clumsy.

Lin Zhao is not the only one who has this idea, at this time in the crowd, there is a tall, temperamental, face like a lion, gray hair mixed with a middle-aged man also smiled:

"This kid is really cowardly, if he likes that little lady, he will go up and confess directly, why bother to do something fancy, it's really unfavorable, and he has lost the face of my palace family!"

Behind him, there were seven or eight men in robes with spear-like shapes, all with cold faces, and the evil aura emanating from their bodies was overwhelming, all of them looked like they were not allowed to enter.

Although there were many onlookers at the moment, no one dared to approach this group of people.

"The captain is mighty, and the little boy is still young, so he can't be compared.

If it's a few years from now, you'll know the mystery!"

At this time, a smart-looking man behind the middle-aged man spoke up.

"Your words are always so pleasing to you. ”

The middle-aged man was none other than Gong Jiucheng, the captain of Huazhou Yuandao Military Academy, and after hearing this, he laughed and scolded, and then said:

"Let the brothers keep an eye on it, these ten days are extremely important, and now the situation is delicate, the general has sent me and others to come, and there must be no incident. ”

At the same time, a scribe in a sky-blue brocade robe on the other side also smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly, an old man who looked like a housekeeper squeezed in from the crowd and said to the brocade-robed scribe: "Second master, the uncle has something important to discuss with you, and I want you to go back to the house quickly!"

The brocade-robed scribe had a handsome face, frowned slightly when he heard the words, glanced at Zhan Yunxiao again, and then made a gesture.

Suddenly, the four elders around him separated from the crowd and walked away quickly.

Lin Zhao glanced back and forth in the crowd, and then he was no longer interested, and said to Lingyin beside him: "Qingyu, the excitement is over, it's time to go back." ”

Although Lingyin wore a veil, her graceful figure still attracted the peeps of the people around her, making her quite uncomfortable, and she bowed her head lightly when she heard the words.

Lin Zhao waved the sleeves of his robe, and the people on the side only felt a majestic soft force enveloping him, like a kite floating in the wind.

Suddenly, a passage appeared in the crowd, allowing the three of them to leave calmly.

In the north of Tian'en City, at the door of a majestic mansion, there are two white jade statues, the jade elephants raise their noses, the pieces of scale armor on their bodies are lifelike, and their eyes are round, as if they can suppress all evil worship.

Above the tall portal, there are two big characters engraved "Zhanfu", the font is vigorous and powerful, it looks like a mountain, and it can stand for 10,000 years without falling.

Statues are placed in front of the house, which is a symbol of some great clans in the Shenlun realm.

In particular, the jade elephant represents a long history of the family, and the general family is just a stone elephant.

And the King Kong statue with scale armor on its body is the symbol of the thousand-year-old family.

Legend has it that it is the Vajra Divine Elephant that suppresses the "Nine Yin Crypt" in this world, which is extremely yang and strong, and its power is immeasurable, which can dissolve the filth and evil qi of the world, purify the souls of the dead, and bring peace to the yang world.

The spring was bright and the temperature was pleasant, and a large sedan chair came in a hurry and entered through the side door of the Zhan Mansion.

After half a cup of tea, in a large study, there were several people sitting on the Taishi chair, each with a solemn expression.

The top one is an old man with long eyebrows, who is the contemporary patriarch of the Zhan clan.

There were three people below, including the brocade-robed scribe who had hurried in.

The old man with long eyebrows had a grim face, and said in a low voice: "The Ji clan sent someone to visit again, faintly urging me to show my attitude towards the Zhan clan.

In addition, I suspect that there has been some action in the near future.

This matter is important, it is advisable to make a decision as soon as possible, what do you think? ”

The three people, including the brocade-robed scribe, glanced at each other, and one of them had a heavy face, a hooked nose, a long beard hanging down on his chest, and a slightly gloomy temperament said:

"Uncle, has there been any rumor from the Ji family?"

Zhanhua shook his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said slowly: "The Ji clan has been secretly accumulating strength for many years, I'm afraid that the plan is very big, and now that my Zhan clan has not made a clear statement, how can they reveal anything."

As far as I guess, the Ji clan is afraid that they are going to make a fuss about this Dao Yuan Ceremony!"

The old man of the Yin Eagle is called "Zhan Wenye", he was also an official in Mingjing back then, and the official worshiped the household department, after the change of Mingjing in the Kunyuan Emperor Dynasty, the court changed dramatically again, Zhan Wenye was implicated, and had to take the initiative to resign to avoid trouble, and now he is closed all year round.

At this time, he stroked his long beard and said: "Before the change of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial dynasty was already in the sun, not only Ye Xiu was secretly active, but also the powerful clans in various places were silently accumulating strength.

Now it is even more chaotic, and the Ji clan is also running from time to time, and many talents have been produced one after another in the past few hundred years, and now they control the entire Huazhou military and government, and their power is getting bigger and bigger, and their ambitions are becoming more and more vigorous.

Hmph, although I don't know what hole cards it relies on, but it is obviously self-reliant.

Now that the wind and rain are in turmoil, no matter what, I Zhan must be cautious!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The brocade-robed scribe and a Taoist who looked to be in his thirties on the side glanced at each other, and they all bowed their heads slightly, obviously agreeing with Zhan Wenye's assertion.

"Dad, what the eldest brother said just now is very reasonable, my Zhan clan is also a thousand-year-old clan, in my opinion, if the general trend allows, we might as well go further.

But nowadays, I'm more inclined to protect myself.

The wind does not end, the rain does not end, and when this storm passes, it is not too late to try to prosper the family.

Why follow him Ji Clan to take risks!"

Zhanhua glanced at his son, bowing slightly, but he was a little disappointed in his heart.

This brocade-robed scribe is named Zhan Wencheng, who is Zhan Yunxiao's father and the son of Zhan Huahe, the contemporary patriarch of the Zhan clan.

Zhan Wencheng's words are also considered to be old-fashioned and reasonable, but in essence they are all nonsense, and who here does not understand such truths? What Zhan Wencheng needs now is concrete countermeasures, not empty words of "big truths."

Then Zhanhua turned his gaze to the Dao man again, and said in an expectant tone: "Wen Ge, you have always thought clearly, what is your judgment of the current situation?"

The common name of the Taoist is "Zhanwen Pavilion", the legal name is "Hanging Heart", the long face is clear, and the eyes are faintly full of wisdom and aura.

He practiced in the Huazhou Dao Palace Branch, and now he is about to marry Dan and achieve the position of a real person, which is an important force of the Zhan clan in the Dao Palace.

"Uncle, what the eldest brother and the second brother said just now makes sense, and this is the premise of my Zhan clan's actions now.

Then the subsequent coping strategy is simple.

In my little nephew's humble opinion, among my Zhan clan, someone might as well agree to Ji's in his personal name and cooperate in a secret tone.

The person's identity needs to carry enough weight, and the steps must be carefully arranged.

In this way, not only can you not offend the Ji family, but you can also know the real plans of the other party.

At the same time, I can also keep the basic plate of Zhan's, and then when the time is ripe, I can act on the opportunity. ”

As soon as Zhan Wenge's words came out, the other three immediately nodded their heads again and again, but then fell silent again.

The words are good, but who will contact Ji.

After a while, Zhan Wenye suddenly opened his eyes, his expression was resolute, and he said in a deep voice:

"Uncle, it's up to me to come forward.

Now I have no official position, and I am a mere idler.

If you ask Ji to cooperate with him in the name of helping me 'recover', it will be reasonable. ”

Zhanhua and pondered for a long time, then slowly nodded and said: "Wen Ye, I am very relieved of your resourcefulness and adaptability, I will send two hundred soldiers for you to call at any time."

Everything is about self-preservation, don't take risks!"

......

It was night, Lin Zhao stood with his hands in his hands, looking up at the void, watching the stars twinkle, and silently calculating the division of the star palace.

This world was quite different from the Gu Kun Realm, and even the location of the Heavenly Star Palace had changed.

I don't know if these two worlds are related, but what I have learned in the past, especially in terms of mathematics, I have to re-sort out the context.

The way of arithmetic is to pay attention to subtlety, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise under in-depth reasoning, the result will be different and wrong.

Fortunately, Lin Zhao has been immersed in the number of techniques for a long time, even if he has changed the world, he can still use the most basic theory to re-deduce the Dao of the number of techniques, and he will not fall into chaos and be at a loss.

In addition, Lin Zhao also felt that some of the Dao in the Shenlun Realm were different from those in the Gukun Realm, and they needed to be re-enlightened.

Of course, these were all minor changes, no matter what, Lin Zhao was sure that he was still in the Great Universe of the Flood Desolation, and it was impossible for him to pass through the Sea of Chaos and come to another world of crystal walls.

Therefore, the Shenlun realm is still Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji turns yin and yang, yin and yang give birth to the five elements, and the fundamentals of all kinds of avenues have not changed.

Although the Thunder Token is active these days, it is beneficial to the Divine Soul every time.

As the injury of the divine soul slowly improved, the primordial spirit also began to gradually stabilize, and it was already able to release the divine consciousness in a small area, enveloping the Heavenly Grace City.

So I found something interesting.

With his own perception and the acceleration of information collection, Lin Zhao had a bold conjecture.

I'm afraid this world has something to do with the Gu Kun Realm.

This judgment is not groundless, but has the clearest support point.

That is, he broke through the sky that day, although he suffered the punishment of heaven, but in the end, this heavenly dao did not completely destroy himself.

Judging from the feelings at that time, if the Heavenly Dao really wanted to exert all his strength, he should be able to destroy himself.

To the south of Tian'en City, there is a continuous stone mountain more than 100 miles away, the whole body of the mountain is dark, and the grass and trees on it are not grown, and it is called "Black Stone Mountain" by the locals.

The mountain is not steep, and huge boulders the size of houses can be seen everywhere.

In the past, people came here to quarry, and finally found that the texture of these stones was too hard to break, and after breaking, they would break into small pieces.

Gradually, no one came here again.

At this time, more than 200 zhang deep in the bottom of the Black Stone Mountain, there was a wide stone **, and several people were sitting around the stone table, talking about something.

There were several jade pots on the stone table, as well as some spirit fruits.

One of the old women, holding a staff with her thin five fingers, dressed in a light robe woven of black gauze, said in a sharp accent:

"You are a waste, you have been here for a few months, and you have killed a few mortals?

The sect asked you to come here, but it didn't let you kill people and refine your soul!

If you miss the sect's plan, the Great Elder will have to connect you into a yin ghost. ”

The ghost in the old woman's mouth is a white-haired, expressionless old man, dressed in a short outfit, looking like a farmer who has worked hard for many years.

At this time, he was not angry, but looked at the old woman with a thin face and goosebumps on her face and said:

"Ghost mother, sister, don't be angry, I'm not a boring murderer when I come to Heavenly Grace City.

Instead, they used all kinds of ghosts to set up other arrangements in the city. ”

Before the old woman could speak, another old man with white hair and a kind face on the side said with a smile:

"What is the arrangement of the ghost brother, let's hear it!"

The ghost glanced at the other party, without the slightest expression on his face, but his eyes drooped slightly, and said slowly:

"The defensive power of the Heavenly Grace City's protective array is extraordinary, and if it is forcibly shaken at that time, it will inevitably delay the opportunity.

Therefore, I laid out a 'Yin Soul Rushing Spirit Array' around the core of the Great Array of Protecting the City, the 'Taoist Affairs Department'.

At that time, once an incident breaks out, after the large array is launched, hundreds of yin spirits will directly rush into the Daoist Affairs Department, which will definitely leave it with no time to take care of the operation of the large array of city protection. ”

The old woman's face softened a little when she heard this, and she said, "Your yin soul won't hurt those little cuties, right?"

After saying that, he licked his lips.

Seeing this, the charity old man on the side hurriedly said: "Senior sister, you must be leisurely, you still need this batch of children to replenish new blood in the door!"

Bah, Bah, Bah......

The old woman's shrill voice echoed on the ground, making the bronze coffins neatly placed inside vibrato.

"The two junior brothers and sisters are relaxed, the old body only drinks a dozen mouthfuls of blood, and he will never miss the sect's plan. ”
