Chapter 15: Lin Sheng
The rain came very suddenly, without warning, not even a single cloud in the sky.
After all, the watering can can't be too precise, and the deviation caused by the wind in the air, in fact, not only Tao County but also the surrounding area is covered by heavy rain.
"Pattern, patter..."
The raindrops of Dou Da were few at first, but in just a few breaths, they became one piece and wetted a large area of ridges, mountains and cities.
In the city and on the streets, people ran to the nearest buildings, avoiding the rain, looking surprised and joyful.
"Wow—"
The heavy rain came in series from under the dark eaves, and there was almost a burst of "smoke" in the courtyard.
A cold wind blew into the lobby, and everyone except Kai Lin Tuo ran under the eaves in disbelief, stretched out their hands, and let the rain wet their clothes.
After a while, the Tao County head suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Tuo with an extremely complicated expression. He seemed to have thought of something, but he hesitated, but only gave a deep salute, saying:
"I thanked Mr. Taoxian for the great kindness of the people of Tao County! I have no intention of repaying it, so please take a rest at the house and wait for the county to arrange for someone to prepare a gift..."
"Then it's not necessary." Lin Tuo shook his head, interrupted him, and changed the conversation, "However, I really have a merciless request."
"please say."
Lin Tuo stood up, looked through the heavy rain in the courtyard, looked at a hill in the south, and said:
"When I came, I saw a closed and abandoned college on that mountain. I wanted to stay for a few days. I don't know if the county owner can agree."
Academy?
The county lord of Tao County was taken aback, this was completely beyond his expectation, and couldn't help saying: "Of course it can, but... dare to ask, why did the gentleman fancy it?"
Lin Tuo glanced at him and said, "I am going to open a lecture hall, wait for some people, and then teach a few courses."
"Lecture? Waiting for someone?" The county head was blank, only to feel that the young man in front of him was full of mystery, and subconsciously asked, "Waiting for whom?"
Lin Tuo smiled and pointed to the direction of Kyoto, and said, "They are already on the road."
...
...
After showing the magical method of "praying for rain", Lin Tuo's request was naturally satisfied without any discount.
After the rain stopped, Lin Tuo refused the invitation of the county lord and followed the officials to live in the deserted college on Nanshan.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he sent these people away and confirmed that there was no one around.
"I hope I will toss this time and don't waste my energy."
Lin Tuo went to Tao County to drop a rain deliberately, just to promote his reputation.
"If there were no accidents, the county owner of Tao County should have realized that my identity was abnormal... at least, associations would also arise.
After all, the news from Kyoto to the southeast just arrived not long ago. Presumably, he should have sent someone to report to Kyoto at this time."
"According to my previous observations, Emperor Chi had already left Kyoto a few days ago and rushed to the southeast. He might meet him on the road."
"A person who can call the wind and rain, should be able to attract their attention?"
Switch consciousness back to ontology.
Lin Tuo sat in the decorated study room, looked at the shadow of the tree slanting on the martial arts venue, and said to himself:
"It's still not safe, it's best to toss some visions out, anyway, no one has seen the saint, since you want to toss, then toss a big one."
After making a decision in his mind, Lin Tuo probably had a plan.
...
...
"Have you heard?"
"what?"
"In the college in Nanshan, there was a Mr. Lin who lived in the previous heavy rain. He was invited by the spell."
"Really? No wonder, I said, why is there such a heavy rain on a sunny day? Is that Mr. Lin an expert in Shintoism?"
"I don't know... But, it should be, otherwise, how can there be such a big mana?"
After a new rain, there were more discussions about Lin Tuo in the teahouse and wine shop of Tao County.
In small places, news always spreads faster.
Of course, there is no expert in Chi country, but this does not delay people's imagination.
However, all the discussions avoided the "sage" option.
This status is too big, even if the people of Tao County exhausted their imagination, they can only imagine Lin Tuo as an expert in the magical way.
But I didn't even dare to think about the connection with the legendary saint.
This discussion continued until the sun set in the west, and endless darkness spread from the horizon.
The county government.
The head of Tao County also ordered people to pick up the lamp and prepare to light the candle.
However, at this instant, suddenly, he heard exclamations from outside the courtyard.
"What's the noise outside?" He couldn't help but asked.
Immediately, I heard louder outdoor noise.
"My lord, come and see!" even the official in the office shouted.
The county owner was taken aback, and had to put down the official documents, hurriedly walked through the courtyard, pushed open the front gate, and saw that there were many people on the dim street, looking at the distance, and pointing.
He suddenly raised his head, and immediately, he was stunned to see that a huge beam of light appeared in the clouds over Nanshan.
As if cast from the heavens, it penetrates the sky and illuminates the entire mountain.
In the dim sky, it was very eye-catching.
It's like a miracle.
"This... could it... have something to do with that Mr. Lin?" Seeing this abnormal celestial phenomenon, the county owner was startled at first, and then couldn't help but think.
He grabbed the door and watched the bustling subordinates, and confirmed that: "Have the people sent to Kyoto set off?"
"Already set off."
"That's good...that's good..." The Taoxian County Lord looked at the strange celestial phenomenon that penetrated the world, muttering to himself, looking worried about gains and losses.
The subordinate next to him was puzzled, then swallowed, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"My lord, do you think this Mr. Lin is really..."
The county owner's eyes widened, and the same lowered his voice, but he said very seriously: "Heaven descends from the sky, I'm afraid... he really is!"
saint!
According to the decree of Kyoto, did the saint whom your majesty was looking for really came to Tao County?
What an honor is this?
The county lord's heart was agitated, his face was full of blood, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, he returned to the house, took out his official position token, and hurriedly told his subordinates:
"By the way! You immediately take everyone, rush to Nanshan, block the road, and don't let the idlers and others disturb your husband to rest! Go!"
"Huh? Yes!"
...
...
Li Shanwu Hall, in the study.
Lin Tuo stood by the sand table, plunged into the isolation enclosure with his right hand, holding a flashlight, and shining straight on Nanshan.
Well, the lowest level of brightness adjustment, but it is also eye-catching enough.
"In this case... no matter how slow, people should know that something is wrong with me?"
Lin Tuo thought silently, then turned his gaze to Kyoto and found the position of Chi Di and his party.
It's not hard to find.
Visual inspection, coupled with frequent use of clones to visit various areas, to listen to the situation, he had already locked the position very early.
"According to this distance, if everything goes well, the team from Kyoto should be able to reach Tao County at the earliest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
After estimating the time, Lin Tuo nodded with satisfaction.
This rhythm is still in line with his expectations.
The only problem is...
"Uh, I knew I would order a shelf or something on the Internet. I kept holding the flashlight with my hand, so tired..."
...
...
Given that he was really tired, Lin Tuo didn't play the lights for too long after all.
But for the people of Tao County, this is enough shock.
Even after the "celestial phenomena" dissipated, it remained the same.
"Have you heard?"
"You mean last night in Nanshan, there was a vision that day?"
"It is said that the public officials in the county were arrested and stayed up all night, guarding all the intersections leading to Nanshan, saying that no one was allowed to go."
"You said... what's wrong?"
"I'm afraid it's related to that Mr. Lin. It hasn't happened before. The night when he moved into Nanshan Academy, he had such a vision. I'm afraid..."
"what?"
"You said...could he be the rumors in Beijing, the saint in the world that His Majesty the Emperor was looking for?"
"hiss……"
Similar discussions gradually spread and spread throughout the town.
It lasted until the evening, when the smoke rose and went out.
That night, in the Nanshan Mountains of Tao County, the vision came again, and I don’t know if it was an illusion. The people of Tao County always felt...tonight’s vision was more stable and longer than last night.
...
Lin Tuo didn't care about these discussions, but was happy to see the results.
Putting the clone in Nanshan Academy and switching occasionally is enough.
When another early morning arrived, the red and warm light illuminates this remote city, and a brightly armored army hurriedly rushed into the county.
"Where is the head of Tao County?"
When the county owner, who stayed up all night, saw the brigade of troops and fluttering banners outside the door, and heard the head of the Imperial Forest Army commander asking.
The skinny middle-aged man shivered fiercely, then straightened his waist, trembling in response.
then……
The entire Tao County is boiling over.
...
On the morning of the third day when Lin Tuo arrived in Tao County, the whole city was under martial law. Emperor Dachi led his entourage and his army and horses across the streets of this small city. After a short pause, he headed towards Nanshan.
...
at the same time.
Li Sanwukan.
Lin Tuo, who had known the arrival of Emperor Chi through the sand table, silently stuffed the last dumpling on the table into his mouth.
Then he took another sip of soy milk, wiped the corners of his mouth, and threw the takeaway packaging into the trash can.
Then I sat down in front of the computer and checked the files that I had organized.
Only then did he lightly hiccup, and said: "Switch."
...
Nanshan Academy.
In an elegant and simple house, Lin Tuo, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, then touched his slightly bulged stomach, and couldn't help muttering, "I'm eating..."
Immediately, I heard the sound of horns coming from the mountain, listen carefully, and the noise of the queue of carriages and horses.
Then, I saw several armored shadows flying up along the mountain road, standing outside the dilapidated wall of the academy, saying:
"When the emperor comes, I don't know the courtyard, but Mr. Lin?"
Lin Tuo, who had been prepared for a long time, didn't intend to slowly test with this group of people, and immediately pushed out the door, and then in the stunned eyes of a few Yulin officers, he said lightly:
"You wait, I know everything."
"I beg your Majesty to prepare a hundred and twenty talented and intelligent people. I will open a forum here and give the world what I have learned throughout my life."
