Fierce wind and fire raged in the closed area, but the dark cumulonimbus clouds quickly moved over, and there was a roar of thunder, as if the Tianhe River opened its gates. Thousands of tons of rain poured down, and the hot ground rose. With thick white water vapor, the fire was quickly controlled, and the terrifying temperature around it was slowly dropping.
Rong Tong woke up in this steaming mist. Her whole body hurt as if she had been run over by a mill. She struggled for a long time before she managed to sit up. Suddenly she coughed uncontrollably, and scarlet oozed from the fingers covering her mouth. The blood comes. After probably a few breaths, she slowly recovered and took some energy to look around. She found that she seemed to be at the bottom of a transparent cylinder. Rain covered the curved surface on the outside, and a ring-shaped water flow was flowing towards her. Dirty diarrhea. She belatedly felt a slight shaking, probably because the container holding her was suspended in mid-air.
She reached out to fumble in a daze and unconsciousness, and suddenly she touched the long willow pole and a broken hanging rope behind her. She picked it up in confusion and looked at it in front of her eyes. Isn't this the mysterious "Zhang Wei" from before? The lamp that fellow Taoist left for her?
The light pole is still there, but where is the lantern itself?
A strange guess flashed through her mind. She stretched out her hand to touch the wall. It had a soft oilcloth-like texture. There was a slight depression where she sat. The whole shape seemed to be supported by a skeleton, like... like... An enlarged lantern?
She held her face in her hands and tried to recall the whole incident in a daze. She was locked up in a small dark room and was afraid of the dark. Taoist friend Zhang Wei magically appeared and kindly sent the forgotten jade slips of the martial arts and asked for them to be fed to her... ...Oh no, he brought powder for her to eat... Then he may have noticed her predicament from some details, so he brought a lantern to stay. Later, she was unexpectedly summoned to the island in the middle of the lake. Of course she still had some fear of the dark syndrome and took away the lantern. After entering the small pavilion, she was busy racking her brains to compete with Yuhua Zhenren. That lantern was placed... it should be placed casually next to the railing, right?
Yuhua Zhenren self-destructed, and Zhang Jiucheng, who was in the same realm as her, died on the spot without even having time to react. And she was only slightly more responsive than her subordinate. She had time to take out the protective shield and immediately mobilized all her spiritual power to strengthen it. But thinking about it, it was not so easy for her to save her life without missing anything.
Rong Tong lowered her head. Even if there was still water vapor around her, if she used her eyesight enough, she could probably see clearly the devastation underneath. Pavilions, stone bridges, piles of rocks along the coast, ancient trees and vines, rockery caves... all were shattered cleanly. Yes, a huge deep crater was blasted on the spot. When the rain fell, you could hear the deep echo. It would soon become a small lake.
To be able to create such a devastated scene would require at least tons of TNT explosives, and she was at the center of the explosion at that time, which was like having the explosives hit her face. Even though she still hasn't figured out her own worth, the main target of Yuhua Zhenren's self-destruction and to be taken away for burial should be Yunhua Yuanjun. To deal with the ultimate move in the void period, she feels that she can't last three seconds. of.
In other words, at the critical moment, a white lantern that she used as an adjustable eye protection lamp... saved her life?
#张道友, what kind of god are you? #
#The novel deceived me too much! This world of cultivation obviously has big bosses all over the place. Yuanying is no better than a dog, okay? ! #
#If you continue to be so unpredictable and omnipotent, I will really doubt whether you have any py deal with Hun Dan behind the scenes#
…
Probably sensing that the protected person had woken up safely, or that the spiritual power had just run out, the transparent cylinder began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Rong Tong hurriedly mobilized her spiritual power to rise against the wind. The bare willow light pole was subconsciously held in her hand. Suddenly, the front end was bent by a little weight. She lifted it up and was surprised to find that the white lantern had returned... …Wait, it doesn’t seem to be a white lantern?
First, the branches appeared in a meandering way, and then ink-colored plum blossoms stained them. There are two sentences dripping with ink on the last side. Rong Tong originally thought they were poems for the occasion, but when he looked carefully, they turned out to be:
"The flowers are like the wind. I was in a hurry and didn't understand the method, so I apologize for painting the flowers."
...Lantern, hand-painted lantern——
"You don't have to rush the work, just draw a few every day and save them."
"Twenty-four flowers, trade winds, birds and animals, pavilions and pavilions, all drawn according to my heart..."
Twenty-four flowers bloom in the trade wind, two in January, the yin and yang are cold and warm, winter follows the season, and the plum blossoms are waiting for the slight cold season.
The above awkward classical Chinese sentence translates to: Flowers and trade winds are winds. You want me to draw a hammer? I'll just draw a plum blossom for you to make it work, do you like it? (fog)
Emmmm, I'm sorry, Brother Lantern, I just drank some wine that day to show off my authority. I was a little arrogant, so I accidentally showed off my ancient Chinese vocabulary. I really didn't mean to embarrass you, I was just showing off. The mouth is full...
But, uh, well, first of all, so... Taoist friend "Zhang Wei" means that the poor guy who sells lanterns on Christmas Eve is him? !
oh.
Rong Tong put one of the 60,000 lanterns she ordered into the Qiankun bag with a expression on her face. She didn't want to talk, she was very tired. The plot of this book is very impressive. Either she is paddling day after day, or suddenly everything comes together like firecrackers. How many things has she experienced on this day? !
Now, even if Brother Zhang Wei suddenly sits on the throne of Tongchen Hall and announces to the world that he is Emperor Xuan and he will come back to rule the world... her reaction will probably be this "Oh".
However, there was not much time left for Rong Tong to make life worthless. She was definitely not the only one who was not killed. She still had to brace herself to deal with the big boss——
Just in time the rain has stopped and the clouds have dispersed.
Suddenly a strong wind blew by, and the water vapor was blown far away. Then the wind turned around and whirled on the water, spinning a long water dragon, and suddenly turned into Yunhua Yuanjun with clouds and beautiful face. The wandering wind mixes with the myriad scenes to refine the spirit and transform into a god. When you look forward, it may fly suddenly and disperse into light clouds; it may stop and gather into the evening rain; also. She has reached the state of perfection in this technique, and it is very easy to escape the cold and explosion. At this moment, even the corners of her skirt are not stained with ashes, and she is very calm and effortless.
It turned out that she was the most capable and the one who should rescue Rong Tong at that time. But in the moment of life and death, she did not take action.
Maybe people with higher cultivation level cherish their lives more, maybe... in that short moment, her doubts about Rong Tong held back the urgent help.
"Are you okay?" Yunhua Yuanjun floated in front of her and expressed concern in a formulaic manner.
"Reporting to Yuanjun, the purple light is not serious. It is a great blessing to see Yuanjun well." Rong Tong lowered his head, still looking very humble and cautious.
Yunhua Yuanjun nodded slightly. She was not surprised that Ziguang could withstand Yuhua's self-destruction. I dare not say that all of Zhuzhou's rare treasures, magic weapons and magical weapons are in the hands of this girl's mother's clan. It is said that she is the only descendant of her mother's clan, so she has a lot of possessions. There are so many It is also natural for treasures and immortal weapons to be resistant to damage.
Her eyes no longer fell on Rong Tong. The water in the deep pit is still a little turbid, and a large area of water seems barren. Yunhua Yuanjun put his hands behind his hands and looked at the shadow of the moon on the water, and spoke after a while:
"Yuhua is right. He has been in Kunlun for almost a thousand years. At that time, he was just building the foundation. He was not very old, but he was very old-fashioned and very calm all day long. I had just given birth to a baby at that time, and I was older than you. He was still younger and had a bit of a wild temper. The boss insisted on pointing him to me. At first I was not happy and thought he was too boring. But a thousand years have passed and he has always been by my side and has always been my right-hand man. , I can’t imagine the day I’ll lose him. Even if he blew himself up half an hour ago, he still wanted to kill me.”
When you are alive, everything that needs to be settled will be settled clearly. When a person dies, it doesn't matter if you give him a little tenderness. Anyway, it is over and it is the end. Maybe you can give the living people a beating by the way.
She raised her eyes and looked Rong Tong up and down, "He is a craftsman. I, the entire Presbyterian Council, and even Emperor Xuan have not discovered him for so many years. Speaking of which, how long have you been checking him? Why did he escape in front of you? Is it invisible?"
Sure enough, after the main conflict exploded on the spot, it was her turn for the secondary conflict to be settled by Qiu Hou.
"Hui Yuanjun, I will tell you the truth. Master Yuhua's greed for Mo's spiritual veins was indeed the beginning of this junior's suspicion of him." Rong Tong calmed down and buried his head low. After all, her vitality was damaged. She didn't need to pretend at this time, and her voice also contained the weakness of being out of breath.
"The elders did not notice it because they were tolerant and magnanimous, and used people without suspicion. But once there was doubt, the gap would naturally be opened. Moreover, Master Yuhua had been dormant for seven or eight hundred years, and he was not careless. It was not until Emperor Xuan ascended that he He gradually started to take action, and after several successes, the excessive success gave him the pride to take it lightly, so in fact, he did not cover up the Yuhuamen rebellion perfectly.
The junior has heard that Taizhen Yuanjun has become suspicious and is conducting a thorough investigation. If Yuanjun is concerned about it, some clues should actually be consistent with the junior's investigation results. In fact, there is no need for the junior to report tonight. The elders will be wise. Shenwu, sooner or later the truth will come to light. "
"You pay close attention to the movements of the Presbyterian Church," Yunhua Yuanjun smiled inexplicably, "But as you said, our Presbyterian Church has spent so much time using manpower and material resources, but it is not as good as yours." Is it faster to check alone?"
"Master Yuhua is an old man in Kunlun. He must be familiar with Kunlun's methods, and it is easy to cover up and deal with them. After all, the Presbyterian Council and Master Yuhua are working in the open and the other is secretly. But the younger generation is different. Before today, I am afraid that no one has ever done it. I have been paying attention to the junior's movements, and Zhuzhou's secret method is slightly different from Kunlun's, so the junior is sometimes more able to target him." Rong Tong stated calmly.
"You...haven't you used the power of your mother's clan?" Yunhua Yuanjun was still doubtful.
"This is not the case," Rong Tong solemnly promised. "Although this junior is not talented, he also knows the stakes. This is Kunlun's internal affairs, and it must not be disclosed to foreign tribes in other continents."
"How can you not be 'talented'!" Yunhua Yuanjun sneered, "Your 'talent' is really hidden. You can do everything quietly, and you know how to show half of it and hide half of it. The most terrible thing is It has to be revealed at the most critical moment,”
She looked around at the ruins around her, "Look, it was all solved in one go."
"Junior has no intention of deceiving you!" Rong Tong hurriedly buried his head lower, cursing the bastard who was really "half exposed and half hidden" over and over in his heart.
"This matter is really of great importance. All the great powers in Kunlun's Divine Transformation Stage have become minions. Naturally, the juniors have been hesitant and don't know who to trust. After thinking about it, I had to come up with this plan. I must present these things face to face. Only by giving it to Yuanjun can you feel at ease."
"Really?" Yunhua Yuanjun looked at her again, as if he was sizing up something, and after a while he said: "Then you do things properly."
It was indeed very appropriate, and I knew that as her boss, she would only have to explain everything to her. Otherwise, if she has such a traitor under her command, once Qianyuan or Hengwu take advantage of this, it will be difficult to say whether she can still hold on to the power of Kunlun's internal affairs.
"I'm ashamed to say that I don't actually have any grand plans and visions. I have no vision on the battlefield and my moral skills are poor. It's really hard to deal with it. However, Kunlun is my disciple after all. After thinking about it, I can only do my best. Only by doing your duty well can I live up to the kindness of Kunlun and Yuanjun in your cultivation."
"You have overdone your 'duty'," Yunhua Yuanjun said leisurely, "The household chieftain is responsible for checking household registration and checking accounts. Even if there are clues found during the check, no one is like you. In this way, the immediate boss will be knocked off his horse in one fell swoop.”
She floated slowly around Rong Tong, "The two ministers of Si Ji Tang are my right-hand men. Now one is in seclusion and the other is in a state of despair. Who do you want to help me?"
Rong Tong's heart skipped a beat. Her boss complained to you that you had killed her confidant, leaving her now short of manpower. So does she want to accuse you, or is she hinting at something else?
"There are naturally a lot of talents under Yuanjun, and there must be available talents to fill the vacancies." After thinking about it, she still felt that it was prudent to do everything.
"Talent?" Yunhua Yuanjun thought of her direct disciple who came back to repeat it before - he just explained the principles that Rong Tong had already explained to him, but he couldn't make any clear words, and in the end he even called "Jade to Catch Thieves" Hua Zai gave him a "good intention" to remind him - so he could only feel hehe.
It was now clear to her that what she wanted was not a talent with a talent for cultivation, but someone who could do practical things and have economic skills. But let alone those under her, if you look at the entire Kunlun, no one is "number one in cultivation, and the rest should be put aside."
So she discovered that she actually had no choice.
"Since even Yuhua can praise you as 'extraordinarily intelligent', I guess your talents can qualify you for a higher position."
She stretched out her hand, held Rong Tong's chin and gently raised her face.
"Ziguang Zhenren listens to the system."
"Yes, junior... I am here!" Rong Tong's heart beat like a drum.
Yunhua Yuanjun expressed satisfaction with her change of title. She let go and said calmly:
"Impree: You have a record of service to the public and are capable of hard work. I am hereby conferring on you the title of Zuo Shilang of the Si Ji Hall to assist in the management of important affairs. I hope you will be able to achieve additional achievements. I appreciate it."
