Volume Two: Wind Rises and Spiritual Clouds Chapter 195 Great Changes
Nie Weiwei said: "The grandfather Rourou mentioned was my master. He thought Rourou was pitiful, so he brought her back."
"Rourou has been staying at my place these past few months. Don't worry. I have always treated her as my sister and I have never let her be wronged."
Lin Dongjiu hugged Nie Weiwei and said sincerely:
"Then I really want to thank Miss Nie and Miss Nie's master. Since Rourou went missing, I have been looking for Rourou's whereabouts, but I haven't found any clues. Now that I see that she is safe and sound, my hanging heart is relieved.
I can finally let it go.”
Nie Weiwei waved her hands hurriedly: "No need to thank me, I like Rourou very much, and I am happy for you that you and Rourou can be reunited."
Lin Dongjiu's favorable impression of Nie Weiwei increased, and he said, "Where is your master? I want to thank him in person."
"I don't know where the master is now. He appears and disappears all day long. It's even hard for me to see my master sometimes." Nie Weiwei spread her hands.
After talking to the little girl Nie Weiwei for a while, Lin Dongjiu took a closer look at the room he was in.
The room was small and very clean. There were two oil lamps on the table and some flowers on the windowsill.
My consciousness looked outside, and there was a small yard outside. There were some flowers and plants planted in the open space, and it was neatly planned.
He also saw the Great Sage squatting at the gate, looking around from time to time, as if he was standing guard.
Lin Dongjiu liked this place very much. Although it was not big, it was very cozy.
He chatted with Nie Weiwei and said, "Miss Nie, I just heard Rourou call you Sister Dongdong. Is this your nickname?"
Nie Weiwei smiled and said: "My original name was Nie Dongdong. Later, my master changed my name. Rourou may have heard my master call me Dongdong, so she called me that."
"Brother Lin, if you don't mind, you can call me Weiwei or Dongdong." Nie Weiwei added.
Lin Dongjiu nodded. Although he was wondering whether he had heard the name Dongdong before, he didn't care because there were so many things going on.
Lin Dongjiu frowned and asked: "By the way, Weiwei, what did you tell the fat man from the Sanxiu League today to return my things? What did he take from you?"
Nie Weiwei lowered her head, and after a while she whispered: "Yes... they are some things I usually steal, and... the magic weapons you gave me."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Lin Dongjiu subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He recalled what Die Huanyi said to him and couldn't help but ask:
"Those magic weapons are worth a lot of money. Why did you give them to that fat man? Did you make any deal with him? Or..."
Nie Weiwei raised her head, her eye circles a little red:
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin... I was deceived by that fat man, and he also deceived the magic weapons you gave me, but I will definitely find a way to pay you back in the future..."
Lin Dongjiu's heart was pounding, but he comforted him first:
"What are you paying back? I said I gave it to you, so how could I ask you to pay it back? Well, just be more open-minded and treat it as a lesson. Be more careful when dealing with others in the future."
Nie Weiwei bit her lip and said, "I understand, Brother Lin..."
"I have one more thing to ask you."
Lin Dongjiu suppressed his smile and returned to normal: "The palace talisman was stolen, was it you who did it?"
Nie Weiwei stood up immediately and said in a panic: "Brother Lin, you..."
Lin Dongjiu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom when he saw this, and he asked again: "Did you really steal that military talisman?"
Nie Weiwei lowered her head and said "hmm" in a low voice:
"Brother Lin, do you want that military talisman?"
Lin Dong Jiuqiang forced out a smile and said: "Is that soldier talisman still in your hand?"
Nie Weiwei fell silent, Lin Dongjiu's heart skipped a beat, and secretly said "It's over" for the first time. The thing he least expected to see happened.
He grabbed Nie Weiwei's shoulders and his voice became louder uncontrollably:
"Hey, my little aunt, you couldn't have been tricked by that fat man into taking away the military talisman and those treasures, right?
Do you know that he is from the Demon Palace? Do you know that everything you do is being used by others?
Even if you trade military talismans with them, they will not help you avenge you, and may even kill you!"
"Brother Lin, why do you know these things..."
Nie Weiwei looked at Lin Dongjiu aggrievedly like a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong.
"Brother, don't you want sister Ji Dongdong!"
The little girl ran over and grabbed Lin Dongjiu's arm. She had a stubborn face and pouted angrily.
"No, no, I don't have sister Xi Dongdong."
Lin Dongjiu let go of Nie Weiwei. He touched the little girl's head and said to Nie Weiwei:
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper a little."
He did not tell Nie Weiwei that once the soldier talisman was taken away by Qiu Qianbian, he could not predict what would happen, and it might even completely disrupt his next plan, leading to a complete collapse of the previous layout, with disastrous consequences.
But the accident had happened, and Lin Dongjiu knew that it was useless to complain, so he could only sit on the bed and try to calm down.
After a moment of pause, Lin Dongjiu was confused about something again and asked:
"Miss Nie, tell me, you probably stole the military talisman during the alchemy competition. Then when did you give the military talisman to the fat man?"
"I did steal the military talisman at that time, but it was yesterday that I handed the military talisman to Cao Yuan."
Nie Weiwei finally spoke and explained:
"Cao Yuan asked me to steal the military talisman a long time ago, but after I stole the military talisman, my master refused to let me give the military talisman to Cao Yuan, and even found a place in the Burial Dragon Mountains for me to go into seclusion.
My master had never cared about my affairs before, but that time he specifically told me not to act rashly before my fate arrived.
My master is very good at divination. I guessed that my master might have calculated something, so I have been in retreat in Dragon Burial Mountain Range.
But after I came out of seclusion, Cao Yuan used some means to find me directly. He said that if I could give him the military talisman, he would return all the treasures I had traded to him before.
At that time, I wanted to get back the treasure that Brother Lin gave me, so...so I gave him the military talisman."
Nie Weiwei said in a depressed mood:
"But I didn't expect that after I handed him the weapon talisman, he would actually turn his back on me. Not only would he not return my treasure, but he would also kill me. Fortunately, I had an escape weapon given to me by my master, so I escaped.
Today I went to the Sanxiu League just to steal the military symbols and those treasures back from Cao Yuan, so I hid in the Suo Ling Pagoda and wanted to wait until night to do it, but I didn't expect to be discovered. In the end, it was Brother Lin who saved me.
..."
"So that's it..."
Lin Dongjiu sighed and patiently explained:
"Now that the matter is over, Miss Nie, don't think too much about it. Don't have anything to do with those guys from the Loose Cultivator Alliance in the future. They are all demon disciples of the Demon Palace, and they eat people without spitting out their bones.
And why I know so much, you don’t have to delve into it. Anyway, you will understand it in a short time. Telling you now will only increase your worries.
In short, you don’t need to do anything anymore, I will avenge you, as long as you believe in me.”
"I believe in Brother Lin's..." Nie Weiwei nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling.
Lin Dongjiu sighed lightly, stood up and said:
"Rourou, let's go, I'll take you home."
Nie Weiwei wiped her eyes and hurriedly said:
"It's so late, why don't we leave at dawn tomorrow? Besides, Brother Lin, your injuries..."
Lin Dongjiu shook his head: "I can't stay any longer. I will bring Rourou over to see you when I have time."
At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the door:
"Where did the monkey come from? Go, go, go..."
"My master is back."
Nie Weiwei glanced outside the door.
Lin Dongjiu frowned, feeling that the voice sounded familiar.
"What's wrong? You stinky monkey, you still want to fight me, the old Taoist?"
Lin Dongjiu and Nie Weiwei heard this and quickly left the room together.
After leaving the room, Lin Dongjiu saw a wretched-looking old Taoist holding a walking stick and gesticulating with the hairy Monkey King. He looked as if he was about to have a fight with the Monkey King at any moment.
"Great Sage, don't mess around!"
After the Great Sage heard Lin Dongjiu's voice, he glared at the old Taoist provocatively, then patted the monkey's butt and returned to Lin Dongjiu's side.
The little girl ran over and called out sweetly: "Grandpa!"
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, Rourou has grown taller again! Come, grandpa will give you some candy!"
The old Taoist had a doting look on his face and took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl took the candy and smiled happily: "Thank you, grandpa!"
The old Taoist touched the little girl's head, then looked towards Lin Dongjiu and Nie Weiwei, he grinned:
"Dongdong brought the man home. You see, the master came back at the wrong time."
"Master, what did you say?"
Nie Weiwei scolded, her face turned red, and she explained in a panic:
"It's not what the master thinks. Brother Lin is my friend. I brought him here because..."
"Okay, okay! The master has been here before and understands everything!"
The old Taoist chuckled, interrupted Nie Weiwei's words, and then turned to look at Lin Dongjiu, with an undetectable glint flashing in his turbid eyes:
"However, I think this kid looks a bit familiar..."
Lin Dongjiu quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Junior Lin Dongjiu, I have met my senior!"
"When we were in the Imperial City before, the senior did meet the junior once. At that time, the junior bought a pill furnace from the senior."
"Oh! So it's you! It's fate, it's fate!"
The old Taoist stroked his beard and said with a smile: "How is it? Have you found the stove lid?"
Lin Dongjiu smiled and said: "Thanks to senior, I found it."
The old Taoist praised: "The great evil in the tomb is not something ordinary people can deal with. If I remember correctly, my little friend was in the Qi training realm at that time, but he was able to turn evil into evil. His ability is not bad!"
Lin Dongjiu said humbly: "Senior, you are so complimentary!"
"By the way, senior, I would also like to thank you for saving Rourou's life. This is a little bit of your kindness from me, please accept it."
Lin Dongjiu briefly explained his relationship with the little girl, then took out a storage ring and handed it to the old Tao respectfully.
The old man was not polite at all and accepted the ring with a smile, which made Nie Weiwei scolded him repeatedly, but the old man didn't care.
After a few more polite words with Lao Dao, Lin Dongjiu asked the little girl to say goodbye to Lao Dao and Nie Weiwei.
The little girl was obviously a little reluctant to leave, and she hugged Nie Weiwei and whispered something in her ear.
Lin Dongjiu naturally wouldn't eavesdrop on the whispers between them, but he didn't know what the little girl said. Anyway, Nie Weiwei's expression became a little strange.
The old Taoist rubbed his fingers and advised: "My little friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave so late? Anyway, there is still a room here in Dongdong. Let's just stay here for one night. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."
Lin Dongjiu cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you very much, senior, for your kindness. It's just that I have important things to attend to. If I don't go back earlier, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Hey, the Imperial City is not at peace now. Both the inside and outside of the city are blocked. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out at night."
As soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, he heard an explosion from the southeast of the imperial city, and then he could see the sky-high flames turning half the sky red.
"Is this the imperial city?"
Several people looked there at the same time, and Lin Dongjiu let go of his consciousness and looked to the southeast.
This place is a bit far away from the explosion site. Although Lin Dongjiu couldn't see clearly where the explosion occurred, that direction was towards Zuidie Tower, where Die Huanyi was.
He felt a little uneasy in his heart, especially after hearing the old Taoist's words, the uneasiness in his heart was infinitely magnified.
Lin Dongjiu frowned and asked: "Senior, what do you mean when you say that the imperial city is not peaceful?"
"My little friend, you still don't know?"
The old Taoist raised his eyebrows, as if the matter was none of his business and didn't care, and said slowly:
"The Yin family is in civil strife, the dynasty has changed, the current queen has been deposed, and King Gongsheng will ascend the throne in ten days!"
Lao Dao's words echoed in Lin Dongjiu's mind like thunder. His expression changed dramatically, but Lao Dao continued to speak:
"Today King Gongsheng suddenly sent out troops to attack Huoyang City without any warning. The incident happened too suddenly. On the surface, it was just that Huoyang City was secretly colluding with the Demon Palace. In just one morning, Huoyang City was destroyed and the city lord Cen Tiancheng escaped.
City, the entire Cen family lineage was wiped out."
Lin Dongjiu was stunned and stood there in a daze. Behind him, Nie Weiwei clenched her fists and her eyes were bloodshot.
"After Huoyang City was destroyed, King Gongsheng announced to the whole country that he would abolish the old emperor and establish a new emperor. He sincerely invited hundreds of large and small sects in Lingyun Kingdom to participate in the enthronement ceremony ten days later."
Lin Dongjiu felt his breathing speed up a bit, and the explosions in the southeast direction continued. Every explosion seemed to be like a reminder, making his face look worse and worse.
The old Taoist continued: "And the old Taoist also knows some gossip. The army of King Gongsheng not only took advantage of the opportunity to blockade Baicao Cao, but also secretly mobilized other forces to march towards Heishui City. Maybe the Luoxia Sect will also suffer disaster.
!”
"What...Senior, and Miss Nie, I have to say goodbye! Sorry!"
Lin Dongjiu said anxiously to Nie Weiwei again:
"It's too dangerous outside. I can't leave with Rourou and Monkey King for the time being. I also hope that Miss Weiwei can let them stay here for a while and take care of them more."
"Brother Lin, don't worry. Rourou and Monkey King will be fine as long as they stay here."
Although Nie Weiwei knew that she couldn't help him, she couldn't help but worry in her heart. She opened her mouth, but a thousand words came together into one sentence:
"Brother Lin... pay attention to safety!"
The little girl also shouted: "Brother, you must come and pick me up safely!"
Lin Dongjiu smiled slightly, nodded, turned around and left.
As soon as I walked to the gate, the old Taoist voice came from behind me again: "Little friend, the old Taoist will tell you something again, please listen carefully!"
Lin Dongjiu turned around and saw the old Taoist squinting his eyes and saying meaningfully:
"Lingyun Kingdom has changed, and my little friend is entangled in all kinds of causes and effects. If you make a wrong move, you will lose everything! However, everything has a destiny. Although fate is not controlled by people, the road ahead is full of mist, but everything depends on people. As long as you stick to your principles,
Heart, the clouds will eventually clear up and the sky will clear!"
Lin Dongjiu was startled, and looked at the old Taoist with a completely different look. He bowed his head to the ground and said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, senior, for your advice. I will take note of it!"
After Lin Dongjiu left, Nie Weiwei asked the little girl and the Great Sage to go inside to rest first. Then she hurriedly stepped forward and said to the old Taoist:
"Master, please quickly calculate whether there is any danger in Brother Lin's trip. I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."
The old Taoist shook his head, sighed and said:
"The secret of heaven can be measured, but destiny cannot be changed. Even if it is calculated, we cannot interfere. However, that little friend is not an ordinary person, so you don't have to worry."
The old Taoist said to Nie Weiwei seriously:
"Dongdong, time is running out. I want to tell you something, and these words are very important. I will use the secret technique to seal the content of our conversation to prevent outsiders from prying."
Nie Weiwei said respectfully: "Master, please tell me!"
The old Taoist performed a spell, and a stream of light shot out from his palm, piercing into Nie Weiwei's heavenly spirit, and then he said:
"For someone like Xiaoyou, the journey he has to take is too far and the end can't be seen at a glance.
But the more this happens, the colder it becomes at high places.
The further he walks, the harder it will be for the people around him to keep up with him. Maybe in the end, he will be left alone struggling in the quagmire of fate. Whether he can break free depends on himself.
of creation.
And what you have to remember, Dongdong, is that my teacher has never ignored your affairs for so many years, but has always seen them.
Sometimes when I see you doing something stupid or going astray, my teacher would like to help you, but I cannot do this.
As I said just now, everything has its destiny, and this is your destiny.
Although my teacher can help you change your destiny, my teacher has figured out very early that your destiny is closely related to that of your little friend.
If you change it without authorization, it will help you temporarily but harm you for several lifetimes, and I will become your biggest sinner!
You may not understand what I said now, but one day you will understand it completely. Then you must not blame my teacher for being cruel.
The cause of this life and the effect of the next life will not disappear due to reincarnation, and you will not..."
"puff!"
"Master, what's wrong with you!"
Nie Weiwei was still thinking hard about her master's words, hoping to glean some secrets from them. After all, her master's divination skills were always superb, and every word he said was not nonsense.
But she suddenly saw her master vomiting blood. She could not think calmly at this moment, so she quickly ran forward to support the old man.
The old Taoist waved his hand and said with a wry smile:
"It's okay. I have revealed too many secrets and have been punished by heaven. I can only tell you so much. The rest must be understood by yourself..."
"Disciple, I have noted it down!"
Nie Weiwei's eyes flashed with struggle, but she couldn't help but ask:
"Master, can you tell me whether Brother Lin is Ah Jiu..."
...
Lin Dongjiu disappeared and galloped through the night sky. The closer he got to the explosion site, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.
His vision gradually became clearer, but Lin Dongjiu's heart sank.
The building that exploded in the distance was the Zuidie Building!
Lin Dongjiu's thoughts suddenly changed. It was probably that Die Huanyi's identity was completely exposed and Qiu Qianbian had attacked her!
Although he had long expected that such a day would come, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
As a result, it is a trivial matter not to be able to detect the movements of the Demon Palace. The key is that Die Huanyi must not have any accidents!
Looking from a distance, no one can be seen near the ruins, but from the sky above the ruins, countless flower petals can be seen floating down, colorful and confusing, which is dazzling.
A few pieces of broken limbs fell from time to time in the rain of flowers, completely shattering this beautiful and romantic scene.
Under the gaze of Lin Dongjiu's consciousness, in the rain of flowers, Die Huanyi held a soft sword in his hand and was fighting fiercely with more than a dozen monks with strong auras.
Not seeing Qiu Qianbian, Lin Dongjiu breathed a sigh of relief, but almost all of those monks were at the Transformation Infant Realm. Even if Die Huanyi was at the Expanding Sea Realm, he would still be unable to defeat four hands with two fists.
Blood already overflowed from the corner of Die Huanyi's mouth, and the speed of swinging the sword became slower and slower, and he was about to reach the limit.
Seeing this, Lin Dongjiu couldn't help but speed up a bit, and dived forward into the rain of flowers.
The rune chains behind him surged out, tightly wrapping the Die Huan Yi, blocking the crazy attacks of the monks.
When Die Huanyi saw these rune chains, excitement immediately appeared in her eyes, and she immediately raised her head and looked in the direction of Lin Dongjiu.
"Owner..."
"Let's go!"
Lin Dongjiu didn't have the brains to fight with Die Huanyi and those monks. He was very self-aware and knew that the situation in front of him could not be reversed just by joining the battle.
Moreover, Qiu Qianbian did not personally participate in the battle, which only meant that he was confident of taking down Die Huanyi. The back-up force hidden in the dark was naturally indispensable. Taking the best option now was the wisest move.
Needless to say, Die Huanyi is a smart woman. She immediately escaped from the battle and retreated to Lin Dongjiu's side.
When the monks saw Lin Dongjiu, a faint smile appeared on their lips. They immediately pursued him and attacked Lin Dongjiu with the most violent means.
Lin Dongjiu took Die Huanyi's hand and jumped into the air. The countless rune chains behind him were pulled and connected with each other at an extremely fast speed, intertwining into a large net and falling down towards the monks.
At the same time, he fired another wisp of flame, and the fire swelled in the wind and spread rapidly along the chain. The entire net instantly turned into a fire net, blocking the monks.
As for the effect, Lin Dongjiu ignored it at all and flew out of the imperial city with Diehuan Yi in hand without looking back.
But what Lin Dongjiu didn't know was what kind of crisis was waiting for them outside the city...
