This time, Lin Ji felt even more embarrassed.
The refugees from all over the world praised Tianguan every word, but no one recognized him!
Just like on Leiyun Mountain, the Huo family's uncle and nephew and Wei Yannian all respected him as the Holy Lord, but he couldn't ask in detail where the name "Holy Lord" came from.
Everyone was watching with suspicion, and even a few young people crowded forward and looked hostile.
"Tianguan, this is Lord Tianguan!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone turned around and saw a man holding a riding crop hurriedly jumped out of the car, rushed to Lin Ji in a few steps, knelt down and bowed down, praising, "I've seen Lord Tianguan before!"
Lin Ji took a look and immediately recognized it. It was the coachman who abducted the child and sent him to Yunzhou.
"But Zhang San?" Lin Ji asked.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Xiaomin!" That Zhang kowtowed three times and was so happy that he didn't expect that the dignified Lord Tianguan would actually remember his name!
When the people around saw it, they were immediately shocked. They looked at Zhang San and then at Lin Ji.
It doesn't look like these two people have been in contact with each other for a long time, but no one believes that the man in front of them is the heavenly official praised by all people.
The refugees surrounded and blocked the place in circles, but no one dared to go any further.
"Hey!" The man who had questioned Lin Ji earlier lowered his head and asked Zhang San: "This brother, do you think he is the Heavenly Official?!"
"Then there's still a lie?!" Zhang San straightened up and shouted confidently:
"I was in Yunzhou at that time... I saw Tianguan with my own eyes! In Zhanma Town, Tianguan blocked a huge cloud of ghost fog and black smoke with his sword alone! In the end, even the mountain was split in half with a click! This Is it fake? I will never forget the scene at that time in my life. According to Tianguan's instructions, I sent all the children captured by the evil spirits home. I saw many Tianguan temples along the way! Where are you from? ? Even if you haven’t seen the Tianguan himself, you haven’t even seen the statue?!”
Hearing what he said, everyone around him also thought about it.
"Not to mention, it looks a bit like Tianguan!"
"But the Heavenly Official has a sword!"
"Yes! There's a book in that hand!"
A few bold young men suddenly had the courage to shout from a distance: "If you are really the Heavenly Official, take out your sword and take a look!"
"Where can I put the sword? Look at his long robe, he doesn't even have a fan!"
"What do you know? Tianguan is a god! Don't talk about swords! I heard that he has three mountains in his sleeves!"
"Tianguan is so handsome!" Several other women whispered, "Miss Zhong's family is really blessed!"
…
Lin Ji was speechless for a moment, quite dumbfounded.
Suddenly, among the thousands of people, Lin Ji suddenly spotted a very familiar figure. He looked at him from a distance and turned away.
"Where to go!" Lin Ji jumped up and chased over the heads of the crowd.
The man sensed that something was wrong and jumped into the air.
Seeing Lin Ji walking through the air and disappearing in an instant, the refugees who had just surrounded him were immediately shocked.
The man with a sinister face knelt down on the ground with a bang, faced the direction Lin Jiyuan was going, kowtowed and shouted: "Forgive me, Heavenly Official!"
Plop thong…
Thousands of refugees knelt down one after another, and the area was densely packed and dark.
…
boom!
Lin Ji rushed over in three or two steps and grabbed the man's shoulders.
"Liu Shiming! I see you..."
Lin Ji twisted it around, and when he looked again, he saw that it was a wooden doll, but the shape and appearance were exactly the same.
A quick look showed that the guy had taken advantage of this opportunity to escape far away. He hurriedly squeezed into the thousands of refugees in three steps and two steps, and was about to sneak into the city.
Lin Jigang was about to pursue him again, but he saw two figures rushing out of the diagonal stab, clamping one on the left and one on the right, grabbing Liu Shiming and flying away directly across the tower.
When Lin Ji saw that the two people who suddenly appeared were wearing the clothes of Sansheng Cave, and that they were rushing away in the direction of Zhong Mansion, he didn't feel anxious.
In the sky, as I strolled by, I saw that the city tower was lined with swords and guns, with flags flying, and it was also densely covered with many rolling logs, thunder stones and other objects. It was as heavily guarded as if it were a formidable enemy.
As early as the time of the Qin Dynasty, although Xiangcheng was the capital of a state, because Taiyimen, Sanshengdong and Zhongjia, two famous clans, were all located here, there was always little chaos, so the state's military affairs were all in name only. , but I have never seen such a scene before.
But what makes Lin Ji very strange is that the Zhong family is a wealthy family of cultivators, which is good, but they have never heard of anyone having the ability to run an army.
With the temperament of his father-in-law Zhong Qilun, it is even more impossible to be strict about this. How long has this been going on? How was such a formidable army built?
In the middle of the door, more than a hundred soldiers in full armor were waiting, carefully checking the thousands of refugees entering and leaving the city gate, and even registered everyone's name. There were also five or six doctors who looked at each other and carefully checked whether they were healthy. Carrying disasters.
On both sides of the city, there were originally peach groves and flower viewing places. They had long been bulldozed and seven or eight rows of thousands of thatched huts were built to provide temporary accommodation for the refugees.
A little further in, more than 20 porridge-selling shops were fluttering colorful flags, and the names of wealthy owners and the signboards of big and small shops were displayed in a dazzling display above them.
"Ma's house on West Street."
"Qingyuan Zhao family."
"Xu's old wine."
"Sanxi Rice Shop."
“Li’s Shaobing”
…
Farther away, there are another dozen or so large sheds.
There were some old gentlemen who looked like masters or accountants sitting inside, sometimes dialing the abacus, sometimes swiping a pen, and there was a long queue in front of them.
On the sheds above their heads, there are big characters such as "military", "farmer", "craftsman", "xiu" and "literary" respectively written on them.
It seems that various types of manpower should be expanded from the refugees in different categories.
The tens of thousands of refugees who poured into the city, under the guidance of the soldiers, were not at all chaotic and orderly.
This scene is so amazing!
According to what the old man at the tea shed said, tens of thousands of refugees had arrived in just one month. How long would this last? How difficult it must be to be able to absorb and transform smoothly and with such grace!
Is this also the work of my father-in-law?
Lin Ji couldn't help but be even more surprised!
"who?!"
Lin Ji turned around, and as soon as he approached the Zhong Mansion, he suddenly heard a shout, and at the same time, three figures rushed up and shouted decisively.
Lin Ji looked at the three people across from him. One was wearing a Taiyi robe, the other was wearing a Sanshengdong robe. The older one in the middle was dressed as a layman, but there was a piece of paper with the word "clock" engraved on it hanging on his waist. bronze waist badge.
"Oh! It's my uncle!" Before Lin Ji could speak, the man in the middle recognized Lin Ji at a glance and hurriedly bowed and said: "Old slave Zhong Fu didn't know that it would be offensive for my uncle to arrive! Please come in quickly!" He then ordered the left side The young man dressed in Sanshengdong said: "Junior brother, please call me quickly and tell me that my uncle has arrived and is already outside the door."
"Yes!" The man responded, turned around and left. Before leaving, he looked at Lin Ji in surprise.
Lin Jiluo stood down and, under the guidance of Zhong Fu, passed through the heavy soldiers in front of the door and walked straight to the backyard. Halfway through, the Taiyi disciple who was following him suddenly raised his hands in a very respectful salute and said, "I'm offended to ask, but are you Lin Jilin Tianguan?"
"Yes!" Lin Ji nodded slightly to him.
"But brother Lin Chunzhi?"
"Oh?" Lin Ji stopped and said, "My brother is here too?"
