Chapter 639 The Storm Gate Slowly Opens
"This..." Jing Jing thought for a while, but couldn't explain it at the moment.
Obviously everything on both sides has been settled, but it seems that we can’t say that we are just like strangers from now on, right?
Finally, it yelled: "Are you worried that he will kill you to silence you?"
"It's not that simple." He Lingchuan's voice was like a gnat, almost only heard by the mirror, "He has been planning for many years and finally used Xi Yunhe to achieve his goal. Then why is Xi Yunhe still alive and not silenced by him? Obviously killing Xi Yunhe is the best way to clear up the relationship. A good idea, more effective than killing me and silencing him. What can I do to hinder him?"
The mirror became even more confused and asked.
But He Lingchuan only said: "Because Xi Yunhe is useful." Then he stopped explaining and let Jingjing feel itchy.
Xi Yunhe is still alive because this man is really capable and can really do things for Imperial Master Shuangye. To Master Shuangye, he was more useful alive than dead.
Xi Yunhe also knew this very well, so he was not worried about the sudden evil thoughts of his leader.
"Besides, there are good, medium, and bad strategies to deal with the aftermath. Killing and silencing is the bottom strategy. A person like Shuangye Guoshi will not choose the bottom strategy easily."
Imperial Master Shuangye and Imperial Master Qingyang have been fighting for more than a hundred years. Are they fighting over martial arts skills? Of course not, what they are fighting for is "power".
Shit is power.
Power is not only resources, but also many, many people who are deeply bound to your interests and are willing to use them for you.
If Shuangye Guoshi kills one person after using them up and discards them like a rag, then he will lose the army with his own hands.
The subordinates serve the superiors, and the superiors benefit the inferiors. This is the normal operating mode of this system.
Kill and silence? It's so low-key. Who would do this unless absolutely necessary?
Just now Li Qingge and Nian Zanli were making a deal in Shuangye Imperial Master's account, while He Lingchuan thought a lot.
He secretly cooperated with Mai Xuewen and Xi Yunhe once in Baishaqing, and they jointly killed Zhongsun Mou, the inspector of Lingxu City.
Since then, he has interacted with the forces of Shuangye Guoshi.
After arriving in Lingxu City, he made a deal with Shuangye Imperial Master in order to repay Li Qingge's favor. With this back and forth, he was invisibly cooperating again.
Youdao is born once and ripe twice.
Just seeing Li Qingge come out in high spirits, He Lingchuan suddenly realized that not only were he and the Imperial Master Shuangye not on the same page, but they were even more entangled.
Unknowingly, he was deeply involved in the struggle between Qiugong and Qinggong.
He knew the secret of Imperial Master Shuangye, and Imperial Master Shuangye also knew that he did not betray Xi Yunhe to Bai Ziqi. However, after meeting Imperial Master Shuangye for the first time today, He Lingchuan was not worried that he would kill him to silence him.
The eyes of Imperial Master Shuangye looked at him kindly and approvingly, as if to say: Young man, you did a good job.
Looking at his detailed and thorough arrangements for borrowing troops for Li Qingge, He Lingchuan felt that he was sincere rather than businesslike.
So it can be summed up in one sentence:
Shuangye Guoshi had probably regarded him as one of his own.
He didn't talk to He Lingchuan personally, or even revealed his recruitment intentions through Xi Yunhe, but the entanglement between the two parties was already deep enough. As long as He Lingchuan is still in Bejia, Yuanyin will be brought under his own power by Shuangye Imperial Master. With the latter's terrifying status and connections, He Lingchuan could confirm this relationship without even nodding his head.
If he wanted to deny this mark, he would have to resort to drastic means to betray or betray the Frost Leaf Grand Master.
He Lingchuan believed that no normal person would dare to do this.
He, well, he didn't want to either.
In contrast, Fu Shanyue, this silly brother, only knew how to extend an olive branch to him repeatedly. Although he was sincere, his methods could not be compared with those of an officialdom veteran like Shuangye Guoshi.
He Lingchuan passed through the crowd and strode back to Prince Chiyan's carriage. He met Fu Shan's increasingly expectant eyes and said:
"The handover is complete."
Fu Shanyue patted the table and said with a smile: "Excellent, now there is a bright future! Come on, I respect you!"
If He Xiao hadn't been as meticulous as a hair and caught such an invisible flaw, Kong Jiaxiang would have slipped through the net. Now there is new progress in the elixir case, which is great news for Chi Yan.
The two raised their glasses and were about to drink it all, when they saw the wine in the glass condensed into beads, trembling and floating up to the sky.
This time, the wine beads rose much faster than before.
"Once again, the door to the sea of grass is about to open."
Sure enough, the clear and clear sound of the jade chime sounded in front of us, which seemed far away but was actually very close, echoing in everyone's ears.
People whispering to each other, people crawling in front of the Tiangong tent, looked up together.
I don’t know when the sunshine will disappear, and the sky has already become overcast.
Now the clouds are getting lower and lower, becoming more and more curled, and they have actually formed a huge spiral shape!
Like an upside-down tornado cup of ice cream, but with the tip pointing down.
He Lingchuan hissed lightly.
It was such a huge cyclone, covering almost the entire sea of Caohai, with a range of dozens of miles.
In his original world, these things were also called super cells, and some people called them spinning thunderstorms.
But here, it’s not just simple strong convective weather.
This thunderstorm just started to appear on the surface of Caohai. The long whale sucked up water and rolled up countless aquatic plants, and then slowly moved towards the sandbank.
The reputation is unparalleled, as if the end is approaching.
As the poem says, dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. It is not an exaggeration at all to put it here.
If caught by it, the tens of thousands of people here would probably go to heaven.
Its size is much larger than the wind demon that was stationed in the Piaomiao Sect half a year ago.
However, in the face of this super strong convection, the people of Lingxu City did not flee in all directions. Instead, they stood there with their necks raised, pointing and commenting on the storm.
Some said it was smaller than the year before.
Some people also said that it was slower than the year before.
They didn't take this murderous storm seriously.
If this storm understood human nature, it would definitely want to teach these ants a lesson.
However, the people of Lingxu City were so calm, of course, they had something to rely on. After all, this kind of storm happens every two years, and Lingxu City has experienced it for more than 500 years. They are very familiar with it and can handle it with their eyes closed.
He Lingchuan noticed that two people appeared at this time:
Qingyang State Master.
Shuangye State Master.
Fu Shanyue said to him: "The storm gate of Fu Realm will open every 680 days, and the state masters need to take turns to hold the staff in groups of two to frame the entrance of the storm."
Beijia has four state masters. Last time, the state masters of Xia and Dong held the staff, so this time it was the turn of Qing and Qiu.
Shuangye State Master, He Lingchuan had just seen it; Qingyang State Master was wearing a gorgeous sky-blue robe with gold sprinkled on it today. Her demeanor was still graceful, but her cheekbones were slightly protruding. He Lingchuan always felt that she was thinner than a few days ago.
She walked hand in hand with Master Shuangye, and the two seemed to be in a conversation.
This is really a case of enemies meeting each other. He Lingchuan knew that Master Shuangye had tried very hard to defeat her.
How could Master Qingyang not know Master Shuangye's plan?
But the two masters walked forward with a smile amid the cheers of the people, without showing any displeasure.
In the eyes of those in the know, the situation was really very delicate.
The combined age of these two was almost 400 years old, and their scheming was unfathomable.
After a few words, Master Shuangye continued to move forward and walked to the other side of the storm.
This storm was still a round and fat funnel shape, large at the top and small at the bottom, with a diameter of about 80 feet at the bottom. Master Shuangye also strolled leisurely on the edge of the storm and soon walked to the opposite side.
The action of Master Qingyang raising his hand to brush his temples in front of the storm may have attracted thousands of men.
But He Lingchuan observed Sun Fuling and came to a conclusion:
When a woman does this action, it is mostly to hide something in her heart or emotions.
The spearhead of the immortality medicine case pointed to the Qing Palace, and there were countless people in the court and the public who criticized it. Qingyang State Master was caught in the vortex of public opinion. Even if she was innocent, she had to bear a lot of pressure.
What's more, He Lingchuan knew that she was indeed the initiator.
Her true heart must not be as calm as on the surface.
Fu Shanyue also exhaled, and his voice was almost drowned by the storm: "Will this be the last time Qingyang State Master holds the staff?"
"Maybe." If the immortality medicine case was finally traced back to her, the sensation caused in Beijia would probably be no less than today's storm.
At this time, the two state masters were already in place, just opposite to each other across the storm, and then almost at the same time raised their long staffs and leaned heavily on the ground!
The top of the two staffs was carved with a monster, and it was impossible to tell why.
As they leaned on the ground, two rays of light, one gold and one silver, spit out from the mouths of the two monsters, circling around the mouth of the storm quickly, but in opposite directions.
They soon melted into a light hoop.
The golden light is inside, rotating clockwise, and the silver light is outside, rotating counterclockwise.
Fu Shanyue explained to He Lingchuan: "These two wind-fixing staffs were made by the gods for the Storm Gate of Caohai, and the national master used them to adjust the Yuanli. The light ring released can stabilize the wind gate, the golden light fixes the direction, and the silver light controls the wind speed, so that no disaster will occur."
As if to confirm his words, since being trapped by the light ring, the originally unruly Storm Gate has basically been fixed in place, and the speed of the whirlwind has also slowed down a lot, and it looks less scary.
So these two light rings are used to stabilize the wind gate?
He Lingchuan looked at the two long staffs and said, "No one has come to destroy it?"
If they are pulled out, will the wind gate run around?
As soon as the voice fell, the two national masters pulled out the long staffs and turned away without looking back.
They have done this set dozens of times, and they will never drag their feet.
The light ring did not disappear, and it still tightly locked the Storm Gate.
"Why not? Beijia has been established for hundreds of years, what strange things have we not seen?" Fu Shanyue laughed and said, "But this is a miracle! Some people tried to do bad things in the past, but no one succeeded."
That's right, He Lingchuan couldn't think of a way to break the two light hoops.
And he always felt that it looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, well, the restraining hoop tied on the front limbs of Xushan Shanze Juju seemed to have the same effect as it.
I don't know which god made it, and he likes to make prison tools so much?
But then again, the only thing that can compete with natural phenomena and the power of the two worlds is Beijia's vast sea of energy.
Seeing such a great feat, the devout believers present knelt down to pray again.
After being hooped, the wind circle became more and more stable, and the center slowly expanded, finally revealing the so-called storm gate.
