Chapter 382: The Invasion of Corruptors (Nearly 20,000 Words Super Chapter)
"Follow up some, keep up some."
Wu Oris felt very excited after watching the army of the dead arrive at the corner of Zhongnan Mountain via the Zhongnan shortcut.
At present, it seems that they have indeed bypassed the many restrictions of Zhongnan Mountain and entered the back mountain.
But at this moment, Wu Oris did not dare to take it lightly.
Because entering Zhongnan Mountain is just the first step, he still has a long way to go.
If you take even one wrong step, disaster will follow.
The Corruptor Alliance now has no other choice. It must invade the hinterland of the academy without hesitation and start a fight with it.
Only when the situation is extremely chaotic can Satan come.
The coming of Satan is what Wuoris hopes most for now.
Because as long as Satan comes, the world will become dark, and as long as Satan comes, the rule of this world will change hands.
Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty?
What kind of bird is that?
As long as Satan comes, Wu Oris can kick Emperor Xianlong away with disdain.
All the previous agreements he made with Emperor Xianlong can be voided.
In this era of law of the jungle, no one cares about a contract.
"Perhaps only when everything ends, people will realize who is the real master of this world. God of Darkness, you deserve to be respected by thousands of people. And those hypocritical rulers, let them fall into hell and endure
Let the fire of karma burn you."
Wu Oris yearns for and looks forward to the moment when Satan comes.
Because he knew that would be the moment that changed everything.
...
...
"Okay, even if this talisman is drawn, it can serve as a deterrent to evil spirits after being put on it. Normal corroders will feel a very strong burning sensation when they get close to them. The most important thing is that once someone invades
We can also receive warnings and no longer have to worry about our homes being robbed.”
Under the auspices of Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou, a group of people from the academy affixed the talisman.
Zhao Xun was very excited.
This can be regarded as the first talisman he actually participated in painting, right?
Although he had drawn talismans with his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi before, those were just exercises during practice and could not be counted.
Nowadays, this is considered to be the most important talisman drawn when facing the invasion of Corruptors.
If there really is a corrosive invasion, this talisman will notify them, just like the paper man made by the tenth senior brother.
In fact, the practical value is quite high.
Although Zhao Xun knew very well in his heart that it was the fighting skills of Shan Zhang and Satan that ultimately decided the outcome of this battle. But they also had to do their part.
If he were left to the mountain chief to do everything, not only would Zhao Xun feel guilty, but the situation would also become uncontrollable.
After all, no matter how strong the mountain leader is, he is not born with three heads and six arms.
If a person is distracted by being besieged, he will inevitably make mistakes.
If the mountain leader showed a flaw and a group of young men took the opportunity to criticize him, this would be something Zhao Xun would not accept no matter what.
After all, the mountain leader is a god-like existence, and it is impossible for Zhao Xun to accept the mountain leader being defeated.
Therefore, he will definitely seize every opportunity to draw talismans and repair formations with his fellow brothers and sisters, trying to repair the peripheral projects first.
Only in this way can the mountain leader be relieved of his worries, and his heart will be relieved.
After taking care of all the matters, Zhao Xun and others returned to the academy as planned.
Now that it's getting dark, it's time to make dinner.
After offering sacrifices to the Five Internal Organs Temple, you can think about the next thing.
Otherwise, you will be hungry and unable to do anything.
After returning to the academy, I saw Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, walking towards me with a frown on his face.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel confused. He took a few steps closer and asked, "Yao Jianxian, what's going on with you..."
"Oh, Zhao Xun, you don't know. Your second senior sister and I are having trouble again. You know your second senior sister's temperament, she has a very hot temper. She is sure of something that even ten cows can't pull back.
When I saw it, it was okay, but if we really got into a fight, it would definitely get into trouble. So I thought, let’s talk about it first. Leave her alone at home and think carefully, and wait until she gets angry.
Let’s take it off and see if the situation can get better. Alas, why have we ended up like this?”
The words of Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, could not stop Zhao Xun.
Well, it looks like something is wrong.
If the second senior sister's fiery temper was followed, it might really lead to a situation where there would be no way to end it.
"Can I ask one more question, what did you quarrel about?"
Everything has a cause and effect, and a quarrel between a couple is no exception.
Although it is not possible to freeze three feet in a day, there is also a process for the accumulation of conflicts.
Quantitative changes cause qualitative changes.
But after all, there is still a trigger, and it is impossible for both parties to start quarreling for no reason.
If that's the case, that's ridiculous.
"Oh, what else could it be? I want to have a child, but your second senior sister won't allow it. She always says that after having a child, she won't have time to practice. What's the reason? My old Yao family is a single generation of three generations. I want to pursue it.
It took me so long to finally get her, but now she tells me that she doesn't plan to have children. I can't accept this at any cost."
"Well..."
Hearing this, Zhao Xun began to feel a little sorry for the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan.
For a traditional man like Yao Yan, the concept of getting married, having children, and continuing the family line is extremely profound.
The second senior sister is also true. I don’t see her being afraid of children on weekdays.
However, it is really not easy for Zhao Xun to get involved in this kind of matter. In the final analysis, this is a private matter belonging to the second senior sister and the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan.
If Zhao Xun rashly intervenes, it may cause immeasurable consequences.
so...
"I think we have to think about things from two sides. Sometimes we are just too stubborn, and it won't work on one mind. Second Senior Sister is indeed a bit extreme, but Yao Jianxian, I think you have to too.
Think about the problem from another angle, for example, how can you make the second senior sister accept you and your ideas as much as possible... It is inevitable for a couple to live a stumbling life, and there will definitely be times when they have disagreements. The key is
How to adjust your emotions when this kind of problem arises, so as not to be biased by your emotions. If both parties are really angry, I have a good way, which is to deal with it coldly for a period of time, and wait until both parties calm down before proceeding.
Let’s have a good chat. This matter between you and Second Senior Sister is indeed quite difficult, but I think it may not be completely unsolvable. Come on Yao Jianxian, I’m optimistic about you.”
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores, so Zhao Xun really had no other good way besides saying some words of encouragement to cheer Yao Yan up.
...
...
After finally getting over Yao Yan's chores with his second senior sister Liu Yingying, Zhao Xun couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen with his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
After a tiring day, the two of them want to do most now to reward themselves with a delicious meal.
Zhao Xun heard someone say that food is a person's last bottom line. Even the tired and aggrieved person will feel much better after a good meal.
On the contrary, if a person has not been able to eat delicious food for a long time, the whole person's mood will be in a highly depressed state. He may even do some extreme things under high pressure.
Food is the most important thing for the people. If you don't even have enough to eat, then your mood is indeed not far away from collapse.
"Junior brother, what should we cook tonight?"
"Huh? It looks like everyone is hungry. How about we cook something simple?"
Sometimes food doesn’t need to be fancy, as long as it’s made in the right category, it can capture a person’s stomach.
"Well, I also think that everyone is tired, so let's make some simple ingredients that everyone has agreed on."
"I think we can make some fried sesame seeds. What do you think, Third Senior Brother?"
Noodles have always been Zhao Xun's specialty, but he seems to have never demonstrated the making of noodles in front of a group of senior brothers and sisters.
In the final analysis, it is because hemp food is relatively niche.
Zhao Xun was worried that his brothers and sisters would not buy it after he made it, which would affect Zhao Xun's reputation as the god of cooking.
You know, food often requires a sense of identity.
Maybe the food itself is indeed tempting, but if it doesn't match the taste of the diners, it will still make people feel uncomfortable.
But this time, Zhao Xun decided to give it a bold try.
And the timing he chose was carefully considered and was just right.
Because Zhao Xun chose the time to cook fried sesame seeds when all the disciples in the academy were exhausted.
At this time, the senior brothers and sisters in the academy were all like wolves and tigers. After seeing the food, they wished they could tear the food into pieces.
No matter what kind of food it is, the mouths of the senior brothers and sisters are full of delicacies at this moment.
At this time, Zhao Xun's fried sesame seeds should be able to receive unanimous praise as expected.
So, what reason does he have for not choosing to make fried sesame seeds at this time?
There is only one chance, Zhao Xun must seize it.
...
...
"Wow, little junior brother, why do you mix tomatoes and eggs to stir-fry sesame seeds?"
Seeing Zhao Xun fry the tomatoes and eggs first, and then pour the sesame seeds into the pot, the third senior brother Long Qingquan was puzzled.
He has never thought about why his junior brother loves tomatoes and eggs so much.
Tomatoes and eggs can be seen in basically all mainstream dishes.
Even if tomatoes and eggs are not the main dish, they can still occupy a place.
It can be said that Zhao Xun really loves this combination.
"You don't know this, Third Brother, tomatoes and eggs are a perfect match when fried with sesame seeds. The sourness of the tomatoes is soaked in by the sesame seeds, and all the flavor goes in. The texture is simply amazing. You
Give it a try when the time comes, and I guarantee you will fall in love with it and this delicious taste after you try it once."
"Well..."
In an instant, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan began to swallow his saliva.
Junior brother Zhao Xun's description was so tempting that even he couldn't resist the temptation.
"Junior brother, is it really so delicious? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make it. I want to be the first person to taste it and see how delicious this fried hemp food is.
"
"Ah haha, third brother, you can rest assured. The dishes I choose to cook will never be overturned. The dishes I dare to cook have been tempered for thousands of times and are full of color, flavor and flavor. This stir-fried sesame seed dish is one of my gourmet dishes.
Without bragging on the rankings, I can definitely be ranked in the top ten.”
"Hmm? Really?"
The more Zhao Xun said this, the more Long Qingquan felt expectant. In an instant, his sense of anticipation was almost full.
Good guy, my junior brother is really an all-round warrior. He can cook any kind of dishes or any type of dishes.
It is really not easy for one person to reach such a comprehensive level.
Junior brother is really exciting.
"Third Senior Brother, it's almost done. I'll just collect the juice for a while. Stir-frying the sesame seeds and collecting the juice is the most critical step. Once done, all the juice from the tomatoes can be soaked into the sesame seeds. If not, then
It will cause too much juice and affect the taste of the diners. Please pay attention to my actions to see how I can incorporate more juice into the mochi."
Zhao Xun's cooking teaching focuses on practical operations. In his opinion, the quality of the operations directly affects the deliciousness of the dishes.
Maybe sometimes a small action may determine the success or failure of a dish.
He hoped that his third senior brother Long Qingquan would study seriously and not take any chances.
"Hmm, little junior brother, just do what you want, I'll listen and watch."
At this moment, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan was staring intently at Zhao Xun, the man in charge of the spoon.
Zhao Xun's every move was carefully remembered by him.
In Long Qingquan's view, one action can sometimes really determine a lot.
Details determine success or failure. This sentence is absolutely suitable when used in cooking, and there is no exaggeration in it.
Zhao Xun nodded and started finishing work.
A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile, and the closer to the end, the more critical it is.
Zhao Xun did not dare to take it lightly, but concentrated on stir-frying.
Stir-fry until the juice is reduced, allowing the tomato juice to blend deeply with the sesame seeds. It can make people feel the exquisite pleasure in just a moment. This is really a technical job.
Long Qingquan watched from the sidelines, fascinated.
He knew that his junior brother's cooking skills were exquisite, but he didn't expect that his cooking skills could be as good as this.
Everything he does is the style of a master.
Originally, Long Qingquan thought that he could start cooking in three months at most by learning cooking from his junior brother Zhao Xun.
But now it seems that he only learned the superficial knowledge of his junior brother Zhao Xun, but not the essence.
He still has a long way to go before he reaches the level of his junior brother Zhao Xun's cooking skills, or even surpasses his junior brother's level of cooking. For now, it seems that all he has to do is to seriously stay by his side and learn cooking.
detail.
Only by learning all these details can he truly become a qualified chef.
Otherwise, you will always be a dabbler with half a bottle dangling.
This is not what Long Qingquan wants.
...
...
When Zhao Xun brought a delicious plate of fried sesame seeds in front of Long Qingquan, Long Qingquan could no longer control his emotions.
"It smells so good. Junior brother, I almost fainted from the smell before I even tasted this dish. What kind of exclusive ingredients did you add in it? It's really fascinating.
ah."
If other people said this, it would be more or less exaggerated.
But Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan always says whatever he wants.
Zhao Xun is very clear about this.
He was very satisfied with receiving the rainbow fart from Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, and said triumphantly: "Ahem, Third Senior Brother, there is actually no need to boast so outrageously. Of course I know this dish is delicious, but it doesn't
To the point of enchantment, right?”
Although Zhao Xun said this, he was actually happy inside.
Who in this world doesn’t like to hear good things?
Even Zhao Xun is no exception.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan shook his head repeatedly and said: "Little junior brother, I am not exaggerating at all. The taste of this dish is really amazing. If you don't believe it, you can take it to others to try it now and see if they
Reviews of this dish are as mixed as mine.”
"Well..."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that the third senior brother is a gangster.
"That's not necessary. One plate is taken out and everyone tastes it for a while. It's really not enough. I think it's better to take out all the stir-fried sesame seeds and put them on the plate, and then try them again.
.This would be better.”
"Well, that's okay. I'll listen to you. Let's pack the mochi first. Look at how this full pot can hold more than a dozen plates. Tsk, now everyone can have a feast.
."
...
...
The plated mochi was quickly brought out.
All the academy disciples, who were already hungry, rushed forward and started fighting for food.
I have to say that food is indeed very attractive.
Many people cannot avoid temptation.
Of course, Zhao Xun still had to ensure the most basic order and not allow his senior brothers and sisters to get messed up.
"Everyone lines up and lines up. Everyone has a share and there will be no shortage of food. Everyone can get a share of more than a dozen plates."
After all, we are all disciples of the academy, so we still have to abide by order.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be an embarrassment to the academy and an embarrassment to the mountain chief?
Zhao Xun himself didn't have much to do with it, but he didn't want the mountain chief to be disappointed.
"Well, junior brother, this fried sesame seed you made...it tastes really amazing. I have never tasted such delicious food."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou only took one bite, and his whole body seemed to be in a state of ecstasy.
"Yes, little junior brother, the taste of this stir-fried sesame seed is so unique, it's sour and sweet and goes very well with rice."
Even Xu Rong, the always taciturn Hanhan Tenth Senior Brother, had a smile on his face at this moment and praised Zhao Xun's cooking without hesitation.
Zhao Xun saw that everyone was satisfied with their meal, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
It's not easy, it really is not easy.
He really didn't expect this dish to be such a success.
Although he knew that stir-fried sesame seeds were a very good home-cooked dish, Zhao Xun never expected how popular it would become.
But the facts proved to him that this stir-fried sesame food is really the best and makes people want to stop eating it.
The academy disciples all said it was a good idea to eat it!
Zhao Xun is undoubtedly the happiest person.
Being able to feed all the academy disciples gave him a full sense of accomplishment.
"If you want something to drink after eating, I'll make you a drink."
"Would milk tea be too greasy? After all, the stir-fried sesame food we eat actually contains a lot of oil."
"Yes, I also think that drinking milk tea would be a bit too greasy. So I'd better change to something lighter."
"Something lighter? What's cooler?"
"Juice bar, just juice."
After everyone had a discussion, they came to a unanimous opinion.
Good guy, juice...
Zhao Xun thought that this choice was still very challenging.
Juice is generally limited by the fruit itself, and the resulting taste will vary greatly.
Some taste sweet, while others are sour.
As the saying goes, it's hard to reconcile everyone's opinions.
Zhao Xun didn't know what juice to make for a while.
"How about I make watermelon juice, it's sweet and refreshing."
Zhao Xun once heard a saying that he thought made sense. That is, when you don’t know what juice to make, make watermelon juice. Watermelon juice can be said to be the most popular juice. Not only are the ingredients easy to obtain, they are also easy to obtain.
Diners' satisfaction.
Because no one can resist the sweet taste of watermelon juice.
Sweetness is really the most magical taste, it can even inspire people's sense of joy and satisfaction to the greatest extent.
Of course, the specific taste will only be determined after the brothers and sisters taste it and give their evaluation.
But Zhao Xun has full confidence in watermelon juice in his heart. He believes that the watermelon juice he carefully made will be able to conquer the taste buds of all his brothers and sisters.
"Okay, okay, junior brother, please make watermelon juice quickly, we are all waiting."
At this moment, the brothers and sisters are all immersed in the deliciousness of the fried sesame seeds and cannot extricate themselves. They don't have much energy to focus on the watermelon juice.
Zhao Xun wisely left on his own initiative, went to the kitchen alone, and began to prepare the ingredients.
Watermelon is stored in the ice cellar. You can just go to the ice cellar to get it when you need it.
This can maximize the freshness of the watermelon.
There were no refrigerators in this era, so the ice cellar was a natural refrigerator.
Zhao Xun entered the ice cellar alone, carefully selected a suitable large watermelon, and walked out of the ice cellar happily.
Then it’s time to cut the watermelon and squeeze the juice.
If you don't have a juicer, you can only squeeze juice manually.
But there is no doubt that it will be a lot more fun.
After Zhao Xun cut the watermelon, he began to pound the juice, just like pounding garlic.
Throughout the whole process, Zhao Xun was in a very good and relaxed mood, humming a ditty throughout.
Watermelon juice should be the entry-level among all juices. But the more it is, the less likely it is to make mistakes.
Drinks that cater to popular tastes are the best-selling.
Of course, Zhao Xun's main purpose of making watermelon juice is not to make money. But he still has to ensure that the drink he makes is loved by most people. Only in this way can he maintain his reputation as the culinary god of the academy.
Once you get reputation, you will cherish it very much.
Zhao Xun finally got such a reputation, so he naturally hopes to keep it for a while.
"When this watermelon juice is ready, I will be able to completely conquer my brothers and sisters. By then, I will add another drink to my list of drinks."
...
...
When Zhao Xun brought the squeezed fresh watermelon juice to all the brothers and sisters, the half-full brothers and sisters were rubbing their bellies happily.
"It's so refreshing. It's so satisfying to eat this stir-fried sesame seed. Junior brother, you did a great job. We haven't had such delicious food in a long time."
"Who says it's not? Otherwise, I can say that my junior brother is like a dragon or a phoenix among people. Not only is he very talented in cultivation, but his talent in cooking is also outstanding. Looking at it, who among the young people in the world can compare to this young junior brother?
Almighty Man."
"A talent among people, really a talent among people."
Faced with the compliments of his senior brothers and sisters, Zhao Xun accepted them happily.
There is no way, who told him to be so good?
"Ahem, brothers and sisters, come and try my freshly squeezed watermelon juice. It tastes great. You will definitely agree after tasting it."
"Well..."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan burped, feeling extremely excited.
He is quite confident in his junior brother Zhao Xun's ability to make drinks.
Since it is a drink made by my junior brother, the taste will definitely not be any worse.
No matter what, he wanted to have a good taste.
"Okay, I'm going to try it and see how it tastes."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan took the lead and took a glass of watermelon juice and tasted it happily.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it tastes really good, very fresh and juicy. Junior brother is really interested."
Long Qingquan drank a whole glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice in one gulp, and then gave Zhao Xun a thumbs up with satisfaction.
I have to say that the taste of third senior brother Long Qingquan is quite high. Whether it is a staple food or something else, any of Zhao Xun's new dishes have always been praised by Long Qingquan after he has tasted them.
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "As long as Third Senior Brother likes it."
In fact, Zhao Xun is more concerned about the evaluations of other senior brothers and sisters.
After all, there is basically no suspense here for Third Senior Brother. No matter what Zhao Xun cooks, Third Senior Brother will find it delicious.
"Sister, what do you think of the taste of this watermelon juice?"
First, Zhao Xun turned his attention to senior sister Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning nodded with satisfaction and said: "Junior brother, it's wonderful, it's wonderful. I have never drunk such a sweet juice. Although it is watermelon juice, it gives me an extremely noble feeling. It's like, just
It tastes like lychee..."
Well...
This comment from the senior sister made Zhao Xun not know what to say for a while.
What does lychee taste like?
Although lychee is considered a relatively precious fruit in this era, it is obviously inappropriate to use this for comparison, right?
After all, lychees are mostly produced in the south, especially Lingnan, while watermelon can be widely grown, and its restrictions are obviously much smaller than other fruits.
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated..."
"It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration. It's definitely not an exaggeration. Junior brother, try this taste. Just one sip will make you feel ecstasy. I haven't tasted such a delicious drink for a long, long time. Junior brother, you will definitely do it in the future.
Make this freshly squeezed watermelon juice a regular drink."
"Uh, no problem. Senior sister, just don't worry."
Zhao Xun gave up and turned to his second senior sister Liu Yingying.
Not long ago, the second senior sister Liu Yingying had a conflict with the couple Zhulin Jianxian. She must be in a bad mood, so Zhao Xun acted very cautiously, fearing to offend the second senior sister.
"How's it going? Does it taste okay?"
"Well, little junior brother, this tastes better and more pure than the milk tea you made before."
Second senior sister Liu Yingying's mood was much better than Zhao Xun imagined, which was somewhat beyond Zhao Xun's expectation.
"Uh, is it true? Second Senior Sister really thinks this freshly squeezed watermelon juice tastes better than milk tea?"
"It's true. The taste of watermelon juice is purer, while the taste of milk tea is more mellow. It can be said that each has its own advantages. But personally, I prefer watermelon juice. Junior brother, I'm not saying that I don't
I like drinking milk tea. Milk tea is also delicious. But after trying watermelon juice, I like watermelon juice even more. Maybe others also like drinking milk tea."
The second senior sister Liu Yingying was afraid that Zhao Xun would misunderstand, so she explained in a roundabout way for a long time.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Everyone's taste will be different, and this is normal. Of course, Second Senior Sister, I think you can share your drinking experience with Yao Jianxian, I believe he will like it
.”
Zhao Xun thought that this was the most critical moment, and he must assist Yao Jianxian.
At any rate, he had a good relationship with Yao Jianxian, and it was impossible to just watch Yao Jianxian and his second senior sister, a newlywed couple, get into trouble.
It is normal for young couples to quarrel in their daily lives, but they should control their emotions.
If you don't control your emotions well and your feelings are really hurt, it won't be beautiful.
"Well, I know, I know it well, little junior brother."
Second Senior Sister's reaction was surprisingly calm.
Seeing this, Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be best as long as Second Senior Sister doesn't keep arguing.
Zhao Xun was really afraid that the second senior sister would cause trouble and they would be unable to get off the ground.
While the disciples from the academy were enjoying delicious drinks, they saw Luo Lun running over.
"Lauren, you came just in time. Come and try my newly made watermelon juice."
Zhao Xun brought a glass of watermelon juice forward and said with a smile on his face.
"Stop drinking this watermelon juice, something big has happened."
Laurent looked sad, with helplessness written all over his face.
Zhao Xun was really surprised.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"It seems that someone has invaded the camps of the elves, humans, and other tribes. Judging from the traces left behind, it should be the Corruptors. However, we have not obtained conclusive evidence and have not captured the rebels alive. So we can't do it yet.
Conclusion. The mood of all the major tribes is not very stable now. I rushed over to explain the situation to you to prevent the situation from getting out of control."
"Well..."
Zhao Xun was really surprised when he heard this.
"You mean that we have been invaded now? That shouldn't be the case. We just conducted a patrol not long ago. Now there should be no major damage to the protective shield of the academy or even the entire Zhongnan Mountain. Even some minor damage.
We have also repaired it. I don’t think there should be a big problem.”
"I don't know about that. But I suggest you go take a closer look."
Luo Lun shook his head and said: "The current situation is indeed a bit unexpected. I didn't expect the Corruptor to invade so suddenly and with such determination. But since the Corruptor has really invaded, then we should be very careful
A good response is to respond positively."
...
...
The Corruptor's sudden invasion caught everyone by surprise.
This naturally includes Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun was in an extremely depressed state.
It's like you locked all the doors and windows, but the enemy invaded through the ground.
etc...
Could the Corruptor really be the Zhongnan Mountain that invaded by burrowing into the ground?
Although this idea just flashed through Zhao Xun's mind suddenly, it must be said that there is indeed a lot of possibility.
"Sixth Brother, let's go to the scene quickly to see if it's Zhongnan Mountain that the Corruptor invaded through the tunnel through the Earth Escape Technique."
Zhao Xun still fully trusts the sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou. After all, in many cases, the sixth senior brother can explain a reason. Although sometimes it seems a little abrupt, in general, the sixth senior brother's knowledge reserve can still hold up.
.
"Okay, then let's go to the scene and have a look. Junior brother, don't be too anxious. The current situation is not that bad, it is still within control. Even if the Corruptor really invades, it will only be tentative.
.If they really make up their mind to invade, they will never do it with this intensity."
"Well, let's go take a look first and then talk."
...
...
Everyone in the academy quickly arrived at the scene of the incident under the guidance of Luo Lun.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the human prince Harry Postman not far away.
Harry Postman even had blood stains on his cheeks and his hair was disheveled, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
Zhao Xun quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
"Don't mention it. Not long ago, a Corruptor skeleton suddenly broke into my residence and wanted to murder me. Fortunately, Baron Guos arrived in time, otherwise I would not only have lost my appearance, but also probably died."
When it comes to this, Prince Harry Botsman still can't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Skeleton? Corruptor? Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, this is what I saw with my own eyes, how could it be false?"
Prince Harry Botzman seemed a little angry at this moment. He shook his sleeves and said: "If you don't believe it, I can ask Baron Guos to prove it."
"No need, I believe you."
Zhao Xun quickly expressed his position to appease the angry Prince Harry Botzman.
In his opinion, Prince Harry Botzman was obviously extremely angry at this moment.
If Zhao Xun still goes to anger him at this time, the situation will probably get completely out of control.
Thinking from his perspective, Zhao Xun can also understand Prince Harry Bosman's mood at the moment.
After all, Prince Harry Postman has experienced life and death changes.
Maybe he was only a few centimeters away from death, or maybe a moment of wrong decision could lead to his death.
Of course, he survived, he survived in the end.
But at this moment, his heart was definitely filled with anger and fear.
"Is that skeleton still there?"
"Only some bones are left, which have been chopped into pieces by Baron Guos."
Prince Harry Botzman said without hesitation.
He spread his hands, looking a little impatient.
"The Corruptor is really good at picking targets. Capture the thief first. If you kill me, the entire human army will be leaderless. The human race is the most critical existence in the entire alliance. If the human race is seriously damaged, the alliance will be severely damaged. His strength will also be severely damaged."
"Indeed. But I still want to see the bones left by the Corruptor first."
Zhao Xun's attention is obviously focused on this aspect.
Prince Harry Botzman did not show disdain for this.
"Come with me."
Prince Harry Pottsman turned around and started walking toward his residence with rapid strides.
Zhao Xun quickly followed.
Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou, third senior brother Long Qingquan and others also followed behind him.
Soon the group arrived at the residence of Prince Harry Botzman.
Zhao Xun saw obvious signs of fighting and dragging outside the bamboo building, and fell silent for a moment.
"Let's go in and have a look."
No matter what you say, it’s here, and you must pay attention to the details carefully before counting.
"good."
Prince Harry Botzman's mood has calmed down a lot now, and he took the initiative to lead Zhao Xun and others towards the inner room.
Soon they came to the inner room.
Prince Harry Botzman pointed to the corner: "The skeleton suddenly appeared at that time, right in that corner."
"Well..."
Zhao Xun confirmed again and again: "You mean, that skeleton suddenly emerged from the ground?"
"should be..."
Prince Harry Botzman was stunned for a moment, then confirmed: "Yes, that's what it looks like."
"So, this is basically what I expected."
Zhao Xun fell into silence.
In his view, many times, many things have cause and effect.
The Corruptor suddenly learned the art of escaping from the earth?
This is impossible and this is unreasonable.
The only explanation is that they got help.
The people who helped them were probably local people, probably from Chang'an.
Because only locals know the situation near Zhongnan Mountain well.
So who is behind all this?
For a while, Zhao Xun was unable to make a clear judgment.
Because judging from various signs, this person's status and strength should be very high.
Ordinary people simply cannot complete such a large project.
Zhao Xun instinctively thought of a name, but he was unwilling to really think in that direction.
because...
This meant that he and the Academy had been completely betrayed.
Could it be the fault of the Zhou Dynasty? Or, could it be the fault of Emperor Xianlong?
Zhao Xun is quite familiar with Emperor Xianlong's temperament. He is a headstrong character who will always seek retribution and will often do some unbelievable things. Zhao Xun feels that Emperor Xianlong's narrow-mindedness is very likely to lead to corruption.
They formed an alliance to fight against the Academy. Now the question arises, how did the Corruptors get in touch with Emperor Xianlong, or who is the dominant party between the two?
this point is very important.
Because this kind of alliance is formed purely out of interests.
Many times the dominant party is the party with stronger hard power.
Zhao Xun felt that Emperor Xianlong would definitely strive for the dominant position.
After all, he has been emperor for so many years and has long been accustomed to bossing around. He will definitely not be able to accept losing his dominant position and making wedding clothes for others.
But can he strive for dominance?
This is indeed a question.
Who is with Emperor Xianlong?
Feng Hao? Zheng Jie? Yuan Tiangang? Or the legendary Master Huiyan?
I have to say that the names of these elders are all very familiar.
But the problem is that corrosivers are not fuel-efficient lamps either.
Zhao Xun has seen the strength of Wu Oris and Jeff Lun, at least they are at the Grand Master level.
Not to mention that there is a supreme power above these two people, that is Satan.
Although Zhao Xun has not seen Satan with his own eyes, judging from the current rumors, Satan can definitely be regarded as an extremely powerful existence.
Satan's power is all-round, almost on the same level as a mountain chief.
Such a strong deterrent is there.
If Emperor Xianlong wanted to strive for dominance, he would inevitably conflict with Satan.
It's okay if Satan doesn't take action, but if he does, it will definitely make people frightened.
Can Emperor Xianlong bear this risk?
Or was Emperor Xianlong willing to take this risk?
Zhao Xun doesn't know.
"It's connected, everything is connected."
Zhao Xun sighed: "It should be that the imperial court and the Corruptors formed an alliance, and then the Imperial Court helped the Corruptors successfully invade Zhongnan Mountain. Only in this way can we explain why the Corruptors suddenly appeared. Only in this way can we
Explain that the prohibition of Zhongnan Mountain is useless to them."
When he said this, Zhao Xun obviously seemed a little desperate.
Because in his opinion, this is a betrayal.
The imperial court betrayed them, and so did Emperor Xianlong.
Is the academy so jealous of the imperial court?
Although Emperor Xianlong is not a son of man, he is not so small-minded, right?
No, no, no, it should be that he overestimated Emperor Xianlong.
Some people are as small-minded as a needle-nosed person.
Emperor Xianlong should be like this.
This guy is very vindictive and has double standards.
Many times Emperor Xianlong would make some puzzling actions.
It is often difficult to understand using common sense, but it can be explained by incorporating many of Emperor Xianlong's characteristics.
Of course, even so, Zhao Xun did not think that the whole of Chang'an had betrayed them.
Because the imperial court could not replace Chang'an, Emperor Xianlong could not even represent it.
These aloof rulers think they can represent all the people, but they are wrong.
They are nothing more than a group of parasites living on the country and its people.
The meaning of their existence is to plunder and plunder, and it is plundering and plundering in an aboveboard and aboveboard way.
Take Emperor Xianlong as an example. He probably thought that it was natural for him to be supported by all the people in the world, right?
At this moment, Zhao Xun was indeed very angry.
But he did not lose his mind because of his anger.
"If it is as I have analyzed, then the situation we are facing is actually very serious. Because although the corruptors do not understand Zhongnan Mountain, the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Great Zhou royal family knows Zhongnan Mountain very well."
What Zhao Xun said was not exaggeration and sensationalism.
Because as an emperor, Emperor Xianlong had many palaces in Zhongnan Mountain.
There are many imperial palaces near these palaces. During the saving time every year, Emperor Xianlong liked to take his beloved concubine to Zhongnan Mountain to escape the summer heat.
This habit ended this year, mainly because the relationship between Emperor Xianlong and Zhao Xun and the mountain chief broke.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Emperor Xianlong to risk his wealth and life.
You must know that if the mountain chief is angered, Emperor Xianlong's life may be in danger even if there are several great masters protecting him.
The situation should be better in the palace, but everything is unknown in Zhongnan Mountain.
Based on Zhao Xun's understanding of Emperor Xianlong, this guy should not take risks.
But this still cannot change the fact that Emperor Xianlong knew Zhongnan Mountain very well.
If there was a shortcut from Chang'an City to Zhongnan Mountain, then Emperor Xianlong, as the king of a country, would definitely know about it.
It is a pity that as the king of a country, Emperor Xianlong's moral character was lacking. Otherwise, the conflict between the academy and the imperial court would not have been caused.
It can be said that Emperor Xianlong caused all this.
If Emperor Xianlong hadn't been so stubborn, the situation would not have deteriorated to this point anyway.
But there is no point in complaining these days.
Because it has happened.
The best way now is to respond proactively.
"Sixth Brother, should we investigate now to see if there is a tunnel nearby that leads directly to Zhongnan Mountain?"
"Well, this is indeed what we should do. And I guess there may be more than one tunnel. So we should pay more attention."
Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou said worriedly: "How about this? Let's call all the disciples who broke into the academy, and then we will divide into groups to search. The traces of the tunnel should still be obvious, at least at the exit we can clearly identify them."
"Um..."
After hearing this, Zhao Xun nodded and said: "So our best way at the moment is to find the tunnel exit as soon as possible and block it, right?"
"Yes, all you need to do is block the exit of the tunnel immediately after you find it. But one thing you need to pay attention to is that the exit of the tunnel must not only be blocked, but also enchanted. That is, the talisman formation. Only
Only by doing this can we ensure that they will not try to reach Zhongnan Mountain through these tunnels again."
hiss...
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a little bitter when he heard this.
He had just drawn a talisman with Sixth Senior Brother in the actual process not long ago, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
However, this also further confirms the saying, that is, having more skills does not overwhelm the body.
In many cases, only by making more preparations can you be able to fight when faced with danger.
It never hurts to be more prepared.
"Okay, let's do as you say, Sixth Senior Brother."
At this moment, Prince Harry Botzman asked: "Don't you need our help? We can still easily identify the Corruptor's breath."
"Let's do this, you send some people with us to help us find the location of the tunnel exit."
Seeing Prince Harry Botsman's enthusiasm, Zhao Xun couldn't resist his kindness, so he suggested from the side: "In this way, you can confirm it through the smell, and we will block the tunnel according to the exit location. We can maximize the number of tunnels.
to improve efficiency.”
Efficiency is still very important, especially in the current stage.
The Corruptors have tentatively invaded. If the Academy Alliance is still procrastinating at this time and cannot give a severe response at the first time, then the results can be imagined to be terrible.
When necessary, strong people also need to show their fists and tell others that they are not easy to bully.
Of course the academy is very strong, but academy disciples never like to express themselves.
But now the enemy has bullied her to the extreme, and it is impossible to endure it any longer.
If you can't bear it anymore, you naturally don't need to bear it anymore.
Want to invade Zhongnan Mountain through tunnels? Don’t even think about it!
...
...
Sometimes knowing the truth is more painful than not knowing the truth.
Because when you don’t know the truth, you will always have illusions.
But after knowing the truth, he had to face the reality alone.
The reality itself is cold and cruel, but fortunately, Zhao Xun does not need to face it alone, because he still has his brothers and sisters with him.
His senior brothers and sisters are his biggest support at this moment.
Of course, the Mountain Chief is the support and mainstay of all academy people.
However, Zhao Xun and others did not dare to take the initiative to bother the mountain leader until their lives were at stake.
Good steel should be used on the blade. If the good steel is used up from the beginning, what will happen at the critical moment?
Wouldn't that just make you stare?
Of course Zhao Xun doesn't want this.
So he decided to support the academy with his senior brothers and sisters.
Of course, there is also support from the human race in the distant continent of Ellen Lore.
The human prince Harry Postman still showed considerable responsibility this time.
He agreed to cooperate and provided selfless support and help.
This moved Zhao Xun very much.
After all, a practitioner has already seen through the so-called struggle for power.
As a human prince, Harry Postman's mind is infinitely higher than that of Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong was very narrow-minded from beginning to end, and even did not hesitate to join forces with foreigners to fight against the academy, which was simply shameful.
Of course, Zhao Xun also knew very well that this time Emperor Xianlong was determined to fight to the death.
Therefore, they cannot take any chances and must consider various terrible situations.
Will Emperor Xianlong sacrifice all the powerful men at the Grand Master level in order to invade the academy?
Zhao Xun thinks this is quite possible.
Because Emperor Xianlong himself would not want to leave any trouble.
Then the academy will be in the awkward position of being attacked from both sides.
There was the Corruptor Alliance in the past, and there was the Dog Emperor Xianlong in the back.
Will the mountain chief really be able to withstand it then?
Zhao Xun didn't know, but Zhao Xun knew very well that he must withstand it as much as possible and be able to share the mountain chief's worries.
If he doesn't fight at this time and just waits for the mountain leader to reach the top, there will definitely be a big problem.
...
...
"So it took us about a few days to finally seal all the exits, right?"
"That's right. We've also put a talisman on the exit, so it should be considered foolproof."
After struggling for several days, it is finally over.
Zhao Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it seems that Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan is still a little worried.
"Junior brother, I always feel that things are not that simple. My right eyelid has been twitching these past few days. Youdao means that the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster. I think this matter may be related to the Corruptor
It cannot be separated."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan has always been an extremely arrogant person.
In Zhao Xun's impression, the third senior brother rarely showed himself worried, at least not in front of others.
Now that the third senior brother has become like this, it somewhat shows that the situation is not optimistic.
"Third Senior Brother, what do you think?"
"I think the Corruptors really just wanted to test it, not just to test the tribes of the Ellen Lore continent, but also to test our attitude. Our next performance may be the key to their next actions.
.If we stop here, we will probably play into the hands of the corruptor."
"Third Senior Brother, do you mean that the Corruptor was exposed on purpose?"
Zhao Xun felt a little hard to understand.
"Why do you think so..."
Zhao Xun felt that this was somewhat unexplainable logically.
"It must have been very difficult for the Corruptors to finally connect with the Zhou Dynasty and Emperor Xianlong. How could they deliberately expose themselves? You must know that if they transport the army to Zhongnan Mountain without anyone noticing,
If we suddenly exert our strength together, the possibility of success will be much higher than if they just fight in a small way."
"Junior brother, you only saw one, but not the other."
Long Qingquan sighed and said: "Many times, what we actually have to do is to peel off the cocoons and pick out the gold. But many times we are confused by the appearance. Why did the Corruptor create this situation? Its fundamental purpose is still
Aren't you trying to alienate our academy alliance? If they really come to a decisive battle as you just said, then there is no doubt that our allies will stand unswervingly on our side. But now it seems that the situation
There is a big difference. They don’t want our allies to be so solid and indestructible. So they want to use alienation tactics again and again.”
When he said this, Long Qingquan paused deliberately, then swallowed a mouthful of spit and continued: "Do you still remember the example of Elf King Odyssey? The Elf King Odyssey was alienated by the corruptors, and he lost his mind for a while.
, began to angrily want to duel with the humans. If we had not controlled the situation, it is likely that this matter would have developed to a point where there was no end. But this was just the beginning. After the Corruptors tasted the sweetness, they naturally wanted to follow suit.
It’s just that this time they adopted a more subtle approach, wanting to directly drive a wedge between us and the major tribes of Ellen Lore.”
"how do I say this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xun felt a little confused.
"You think about it, little junior brother, what has our academy been promoting to these allies? Is our academy indestructible?"
"Yes. Is there any problem with this?"
"Of course there is no problem. Because there are protective shields and restrictions, it will be difficult for all enemies, including the Corruptors, to invade us."
When Long Qingquan said this, Zhao Xun nodded frequently.
"That's the truth."
"Then, then, the Corruptors suddenly came up with a dirty trick. They formed an alliance with the imperial court, and then emerged from the tunnels of Zhongnan Mountain. The words that made Zhongnan Mountain impregnable became nonsense. Who can withstand it?
Who else can endure it?"
"Uh, that's it."
"Third Senior Brother, you mean that after this incident, many people in the Academy Alliance will doubt the Academy, right?"
"Of course."
Long Qingquan nodded and said: "The human heart is the most unpredictable. Not to mention the hearts of aliens. The reason why these aliens came to Zhongnan Mountain and attached themselves to the academy to form an alliance with us is, in the final analysis, not because of our strength.
?It’s easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. They think it’s beneficial to rely on us and form an alliance with us. But will they still do this when they realize that our strength is not enough to protect them?”
"Well..."
When Zhao Xun heard this, he felt a chill running down his spine.
The right way is to not have the intention to harm others, and to have the intention to guard against others.
Sometimes good and evil are just a matter of thoughts.
For these alien races, they themselves have no feelings for this world.
Because they are outsiders, they have only been in this world for less than half a year.
It's like a time traveler. Does he have a sense of involvement in this world after just traveling through it?
The sense of empathy and emotion must be accumulated and cultivated slowly. There is no such thing as deep emotion from the beginning.
The problem now is that Zhao Xun and others cannot gamble.
Because if they lose the bet, the consequences will be quite serious.
"What Third Senior Brother said makes sense. I was too careless before. Now that I think about it, I do believe in the tribes of Ellen Lore Continent too much. It is always a good thing to have multiple minds."
Zhao Xun paused, and then continued: "Next, we have to see how the Corruptors will attack. Generally speaking, they are the ones who make the move, and we are the one who receives the move. The moment is to show off the move.
The first thing we need to do."
...
...
"It seems that our operation this time was very successful, and the academy has really started to panic."
"Who says it isn't? The Academy may seem powerful, but in fact it also has weaknesses. Especially when the tribes of Ellen Lore become suspicious of it."
"Hahaha, so, sometimes things happen because of human actions. Now the seeds of doubt have been planted in their hearts, and they may take root and sprout at any time. I think things are already under our control."
"Yes, we can launch a general attack at any time after the situation escalates a little more. I just don't know if the Emperor of Zhou will send troops by then."
"This is hard to say. He has not promised this before. After all, he is the emperor, so he has to worry about his face and dignity."
"Yes, many times we ignore this point, but in fact this point is the most important."
"Never mind this, in short, we now have the absolute initiative and the upper hand. We can launch a surprise attack at any time and invite Satan to come!"
...
...
Zichen Hall of Daming Palace.
In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Xianlong was sitting cross-legged.
He is meditating.
Nowadays he likes to meditate more and more.
Because meditation can make a person completely empty and completely enter a state of selflessness.
This is not only important for practitioners, but also a very important thing for the supreme emperor in the world.
Because this allowed Emperor Xianlong to completely forget the current troubles.
At the moment, Emperor Xianlong had one thing that made him very confused, and that was whether he should send troops to help the Corruptors.
At present, the Great Zhou court has indeed formed an alliance with the Corruptors, but the problem is that it is a secret alliance.
Emperor Xianlong himself did not agree to send troops to help from the front.
Forming an alliance and working hard are two different things.
Emperor Xianlong never thought that he was a subject of corruption, and he would never think so.
As the head of a country, Emperor Xianlong must still maintain the image and majesty of the emperor.
More importantly, if he sends troops to attack the academy at this time, what will all the practitioners in the world think?
Would they consider this an act of betrayal?
For practitioners, the court's control is actually quite limited.
Emperor Xianlong didn't know what unimaginable things these practitioners would do when they went crazy.
But in terms of his true thoughts, there is no doubt that Emperor Xianlong wanted to do this.
If the academy and the mountain chief could be eradicated in one fell swoop, and both of them disappear from this world, then Emperor Xianlong would be extremely excited.
This is like getting rid of an old rival who has been fighting for many years. At least for a few years, Emperor Xianlong can rest easy.
Of course, choices are always difficult.
Emperor Xianlong himself knew this very well.
The current situation is actually a bit complicated. Every time he chooses to take a step, the result will be very different.
So should he send troops?
Emperor Xianlong was really confused.
As the emperor, no one can influence his decision.
This is a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.
Precisely because no one could influence his decision, Emperor Xianlong had to bear full responsibility and all consequences.
Everything arises because of Him, everything is born because of Him.
As a chess player rather than a chess piece, he has too much power.
Big enough to influence the general trend of the world.
So how should he move?
Emperor Xianlong thought that he could wait and see. Sometimes it might not be a good thing to act first.
Perhaps the wisest choice is to wait and see how the situation changes.
...
...
"Your Highness, please think twice."
Zheng Jie had a sad look on his face and his eyebrows were knitted together.
He did not expect that the prince summoned him late at night to cause trouble in the palace.
We have obviously endured and waited for so long, why can't we continue to wait and endure?
Zheng Jie felt a little unbelievable.
"Mr. Zheng, Gu Zhen can't bear it anymore, and he can't wait any longer. If he keeps waiting, God knows what will happen. My father keeps beating me here every now and then, and I feel like I'm going to collapse. Gu Zhen can't bear it anymore.
Already."
Prince Li Xiankun was very excited and his attitude was very determined.
This made Zheng Jie not know what to say for a while.
Royal family affairs have always been a blur, and it is difficult to really explain them clearly.
Especially the relationship between father and son, Emperor Xianlong and the prince, was even more complicated.
It can be said that Emperor Xianlong never regarded the prince as a son, but only as an heir and rival.
The power struggle in the royal family is extremely cruel, and the emperor's greatest threat often comes from within the royal family.
His own son is the biggest threat, which sounds a bit funny, but it is indeed true.
"When things have reached this point, it is understandable that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to take action. But this time is really not a good one."
Although Zheng Jie could understand the prince's mood, he still wanted to try hard to persuade the prince not to act impulsively.
"Be careful with your ten thousand year ship. Now the Corruptors are attacking Zhongnan Mountain. At this time, the whole city's alert must have reached its peak. At this time, His Highness the Crown Prince takes action. The risk is really too great."
"Then if we follow what Mr. Zheng said, there will always be risks. Shouldn't we never take action? With my father's body and bones, I think I can live for at least ten or twenty years. Do I have to wait for another ten or twenty years?
Ten years?”
Faced with the prince's "words of great filial piety", Zheng Jie didn't know what to say for a while.
"If the prince insists on making trouble, I have something to say."
"Mr. Zheng, please speak."
"We must wait until His Majesty sends troops to besiege Zhongnan Mountain before taking action."
"What, Mr. Zheng means that my father will send troops to attack Zhongnan Mountain?"
...
...
The prince's emotions were very complicated, with shock and surprise on his face.
For the prince, the current situation can be said to be confusing.
The father's decision will directly affect many subsequent matters.
This is precisely an interlocking relationship, and problems in each link will affect the next link.
If it is true that the father is planning to take action against the academy as Zheng Jie said, now is indeed an almost perfect time.
"I can't say for sure, but based on my understanding of His Majesty, I think it's probably a matter of time."
When it comes to this, Zheng Jie is still relatively confident.
He entered the palace as a eunuch after performing ablution. When he was very young, he was assigned to the side of Emperor Xianlong, who was still the prince at the time.
The two have been together for more than thirty years. It can be said that Zheng Jie understands Emperor Xianlong better than the prince in many aspects.
"If that's the case, then we can really wait."
Zheng Jie's words gave the prince confidence. Because in his opinion, if his father could lead his troops to attack Zhongnan Mountain, Chang'an City's military strength would inevitably be empty. By then, regardless of whether his father would lead the expedition in person, the prince's chances would be
A lot more. After all, he still has the support of Donggong Liuli, and he has two top practitioners, Zheng Jie and Feng Hao, by his side.
With the support of so many people, the prince's self-confidence has skyrocketed.
Sometimes success and failure are really just a matter of thoughts.
For the royal family, the consequences of success and failure are worlds apart.
The prince doesn't want to be left hanging around and waiting to die at such a young age. The key is that his father won't give him the chance to hang around and wait to die.
If he doesn't fight or grab, then there really is no chance at all.
"Well, let's wait and see for now. No matter what, I will always stand by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing that the prince finally listened to the advice, Zheng Jie also gave him a reassurance.
...
...
"Life is really full of accidents. You never know which one will come first, the accident or tomorrow's sun."
Inside Haoran Academy, everyone in the academy couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Because one of the academy disciples died suddenly.
This academy disciple’s name is Tang Yi.
Although he was only an outside disciple, his grief still filled the academy.
"My condolences. Some things are beyond our control. We have our own destiny."
As an "outsider", Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Swordsman, still has to stand up and speak out at this time.
But he knows that everything has a degree. He can't overdo it.
Otherwise, it would arouse the resentment of many academy disciples, including his partner Liu Yingying.
Zhao Xun sighed and said: "We are all martial arts practitioners. Logically speaking, our body bones should not be so fragile. But we all went to check just now. Tang Yi did die suddenly and there were no traces of being harmed.
All I can say is that accidents may happen at any time, so just be okay and cherish them.”
Zhao Xun's words undoubtedly caused the emotions of all the disciples in the academy to explode instantly.
"Junior brother, I think Tang Yi's death is very strange. On the surface, he died suddenly. But as you just said, Tang Yi was a martial arts practitioner. Even if he was not a disciple of the academy, his body was stronger than
Ordinary people are much better off, right? How could they die suddenly and suddenly? This is simply unreasonable."
"Uh...what does the third senior brother mean?"
"I think this matter is ultimately related to the Corruptor. It's probably the hand of the Corruptor."
Long Qingquan seemed very excited, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
"Corruptor?"
When Zhao Xun heard these three words, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
"Is it really related to the Corruptor?"
"How come it doesn't matter?"
"Think about it, little junior brother. Of all the things we have encountered recently, which one is not closely related to it? The Corruptors are the masterminds behind the scenes, constantly adding fuel to the fire. They control everything and want to make things worse.
Everything is done according to their wishes.”
"Those who can come in an honest way will come in an honest way, and those who can't come in an honest way will come in secret. Junior brother, think about it carefully and see if what I said makes sense. Anyway, I have determined that this matter is corruption.
He did it!"
Long Qingquan looked very angry, his emotions suddenly surged, and he seemed to want to tear everything into pieces.
"Well..."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that the third senior brother couldn't continue chatting like this. Emotional management, we must pay attention to emotional management.
"Third Senior Brother, please calm down first. There is no way to solve the problem when you are excited. We cannot accept Tang Yi's sudden death for a while. If you suspect that it was a corruptor, then we will investigate again. But you must not be emotional.
.”
Zhao Xun knew that in the academy, apart from the mountain chief, the third senior brother was the most protective.
He is no problem to the academy disciples, but if an outsider says something bad about any of the academy disciples, he will be the first to jump out.
It is obviously unrealistic for the third senior brother to remain absolutely calm in this situation.
However, if emotions are allowed to spread without management, big problems will definitely occur.
Of course, Zhao Xun doesn't want the academy's emotions to get out of control, so the top priority now is to stabilize the third senior brother Long Qingquan and prevent him from getting out of control emotionally.
"I'm so angry, I'm really angry..."
Long Qingquan gasped for air and tried to calm down his emotions, but it was not easy because he was surrounded by angry emotions at the moment.
"calm down..."
Zhao Xun pressed down his hands again and again, signaling the third senior brother to stay calm.
Losing control of your emotions is a must, really a must.
"Actually, I also think this matter is a bit strange. It's like someone planned it in advance."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou answered at this time: "Tang Yi died suddenly sooner or later, but he died suddenly at this juncture. What else can I say?"
"Well..."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that he had finally managed to stabilize the third senior brother. What could the sixth senior brother do to cause trouble at this time?
"Sixth Senior Brother... I think we should look at things a little brighter. Of course, I just said it. We can investigate this matter. But before that, we should not blindly judge the result."
"Junior brother, that's what I said."
It can be seen that the mood of the brothers and sisters in the academy is not very good.
Including senior sister and second senior sister.
Although senior sister Xiao Ning and second senior sister Liu Yingying did not speak from the beginning to the end, their faces were ashen.
Sometimes silence can obviously bring more pressure to people than sound.
"Let's leave this matter like this for now. We will investigate slowly. I believe we will be able to find a result."
At this time, Zhao Xun could only stand up and cheer everyone up.
...
...
Of course, Zhao Xun also knows that blindly cheering and encouraging has no big effect.
After the emotions of all the brothers and sisters have stabilized, we still have to work hard to investigate the matter.
See if there is really something hidden behind it.
If the Corruptor was really behind the scenes, Zhao Xun would be the first one to stand up and challenge the Corruptor, even if the brothers and sisters did not need to condemn him.
From beginning to end, the academy is a whole, a logging machine.
Therefore, Zhao Xun cannot accept the suffering of any member of this big family.
He will do his best to help all academy disciples within his own ability.
So after a few hours, when the emotions of the brothers and sisters stabilized, Zhao Xun took the initiative to suggest going to see what happened.
Only by studying the scene and digging deeply can we see the clues.
...
...
On the mountain behind the academy, Qingran Hall is where disciples from the outer chamber gather.
Zhao Xun and others rushed over in a mighty manner.
Seeing this posture, all the disciples in the outer rooms of the academy were stunned.
"What's happening here?"
"Didn't they come here once before?"
"Yes, did I remember it wrong?"
"It's impossible. I remember they came not long ago."
"Then why is this happening again?"
"It's hard to say..."
Zhao Xun took the lead and walked at the front, and all the disciples from the outer chamber saluted him one after another.
Even though they entered the academy earlier than Zhao Xun, the status of the disciples from the outer chamber was still much lower in front of the disciples who entered the academy.
This rule cannot be changed.
"No need to be polite. We are here because of Tangning's affairs. Where is Tangning's body?"
Zhao Xun didn't make any meanderings, but asked straight to the point.
"Uh, it's right inside."
An outer disciple rushed to the demolished house not far away and clicked.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel angry.
Why was Tang Yi's body placed in a demolished house for storage?
After all, they are also fellow disciples.
But he knew he couldn't let his emotions show up at this time.
Calm down, he must remain calm at this moment.
"That's all, take me there and have a look."
"good..."
Of course, the outer disciple could also detect the change in Zhao Xun's mood. He did not dare to make any more troubles, but took the lead and walked in front.
Zhao Xun followed closely, and so did his senior brothers and sisters.
With a creaking sound, the old wooden door of the woodshed opened.
Then Zhao Xun smelled a musty smell.
"The smell...is too unpleasant."
Fortunately, it doesn't smell like a rotting corpse...
Zhao Xun thought to himself secretly.
The top priority right now is to go and see Tang Yi's body quickly to see if there are any clues.
Zhao Xun quickly walked to Tang Yi's body and uncovered the white cloth covering it.
He squatted down slightly and inspected it carefully.
"There seems to be nothing unusual. There are no wounds, not even scars."
Zhao Xun looked over and over many times, but couldn't see any clues.
"Brothers and sisters, please come and take a look to see if Tang Yi has any signs of trauma or poisoning."
If there are signs of trauma or poisoning on the body, it can at least mean that Tang Yi was killed. But if there is nothing, even if the academy disciples are unwilling to admit it, they have to accept the fact that Tang Yi died of natural causes.
.
"Well, let me take a look."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan approached at the lead and said in a deep voice.
The inspection methods used by Third Senior Brother and Zhao Xun were basically similar, but Long Qingquan did one more thing, which was to enter Tang Yi's sea of consciousness.
After death, the sea of consciousness does not dissipate immediately, but gradually disappears.
Because there is a process of disappearance, as long as you enter before all the consciousness in the sea of consciousness dissipates, you can see some of the scenes that the deceased saw during his lifetime.
This is still crucial.
Zhao Xun slapped his head fiercely, wondering why he didn't think of it.
Ginger is still old and hot, and although the third senior brother is always blabbing, he can still stand up at critical moments.
At this time, Zhao Xun knew that he could not disturb the third senior brother no matter what, and had to let the third senior brother devote himself wholeheartedly to the sea of consciousness.
Especially when the consciousness of the deceased has been damaged, it is basically difficult to see complete information in this case.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan had to concentrate to see clearly everything that happened.
Otherwise it is easy for deviations to occur.
The scene was absolutely silent.
Everyone didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear that it would affect the condition of third senior brother Long Qingquan.
After about a cup of tea, third senior brother Long Qingquan was completely separated from his consciousness.
The whole person had a shocked expression.
Zhao Xun hurriedly asked: "How is it, Third Senior Brother, what did you see?"
"The Corruptor, the Corruptor directly invaded his body, and then forced him to have a mental breakdown and die."
hiss...
Zhao Xun couldn't help but gasped when he heard this.
The Corruptor directly eroded Tang Yi's body and forced him to have a mental breakdown and die?
Is there such an operation?
Zhao Xun had never heard of it before.
"Third Senior Brother, are you serious about this?"
"I saw it with my own eyes in the fragments of his sea of consciousness? How can it be false?"
Seeing that his junior brother Zhao Xun was suspicious, Long Qingquan was very unhappy and said: "If you don't believe it, you can go into the Sea of Consciousness and have a look for yourself."
"Well, that's not necessary."
Zhao Xun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "How could I doubt Third Senior Brother? If Third Senior Brother said it is, then it must be so. There can be no problem."
Zhao Xun quickly gave his third senior brother Long Qingquan a reassurance.
Third Senior Brother is a docile donkey, you must follow his wishes.
If you violate the wishes of Third Senior Brother, the consequences will be disastrous.
Especially since the current situation is so complicated, Zhao Xun doesn't want any more surprises.
"I never expected this situation. I didn't expect the Corruptors to be so bold. They could blatantly invade our academy, possess the disciples and kill them."
When he said this, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan was already gnashing his teeth.
Zhao Xun rarely saw his third senior brother Long Qingquan so angry.
"If this is really the case, I think the Corruptor is trying to intimidate us."
