This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 166: Indeed Crazier Than Me

"Woohoo. Woohoo"

There was a strong wind outside, and the whole Zhongshan City soon became dark, followed by lightning and thunder.

"Rumble--"

After that, heavy rain came down suddenly. In an instant, the whole Zhongshan City seemed to be formed into a large water curtain. The wind and rain were not only on the streets, but also swept into some houses and shops on the roadside.

"Oh, it's raining heavily!" "Hide from the rain quickly——"

"Go home, go home--"

The originally bustling street became chaotic because of the rain. Countless people were running, and some vendors were hurriedly packing up their things.

Many people also came into the restaurant where Zhuang Lin and the sloppy Taoist priest were to take shelter from the rain. There were ordinary pedestrians and some vendors who were hastily packing up their stalls with their loads on their shoulders.

"Oh, why is it raining so heavily?"

"Hey, everyone, please make way, close the windows and doors!"

The restaurant was located at the corner of the street, and originally had two walls wide open. Now the waiters and the owner of the restaurant came out together, along with some passersby who were hiding from the rain, to take out the wooden boards placed in the corner and quickly install the wooden walls, leaving only one door facing the street.

The sloppy Taoist was standing at the door, and many other people were also looking outside, but none of them were willing to get too close to him.

The Taoist stretched out his hand, not caring that his body, which was not yet completely dry, was wet again by the wind and rain. He caught some rain water, squinted his eyes, looked at it, and then looked up at the sky.

Faintly, there seemed to be a lot of things above the dark clouds in the sky, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing.

At this moment, a white light appeared between the Taoist's eyebrows, as if trying to see through the clouds. It was also at this time that the faint sound of a dragon's roar was finally heard.

dragon?
"Oh, why is it raining so hard!" "Yeah, this is such terrible weather!"

"My clothes are all wet!"

"Forget about your clothes. I almost didn't have time to pack up my stall. Everything was soaked."

"Alas, you are selling some artifacts, what are you afraid of? I sell calligraphy and paintings, I am so sad that I can't even cry."

Many people who came to the restaurant to avoid the rain were talking, and the restaurant owner took the opportunity to do business.

"Everyone, everyone is a guest. It's raining hard outside, and the weather is getting cold. Would you like to buy a bowl of hot soup to warm yourself up?"

Many of those who were taking shelter from the rain were tactful and borrowed other people's land to shelter from the rain, while some of them bought some food.

When the sloppy Taoist came back to his senses, he glanced into the restaurant and saw Zhuang Lin still eating there, as if he didn't care about the storm.

"Thunder and lightning, wind and rain, but you remain calm. You have great determination!"

Zhuang Lin looked up at the Taoist priest and stuffed the small half piece of Hu pancake in his mouth.

"It's easier to work when you're full."

"Hmm? What's up?"

The sloppy Taoist was surprised. The scholar had said very few words just now, and didn't even say what he came here for.

Zhuang Lin looked at the Taoist in front of him calmly.

"Master, didn't you say you would take me to the palace to kill people?"

After hearing this, the Taoist opened his eyes wide and said, "Good boy, you are serious!"

After the astonishment and disbelief in his eyes, the sloppy Taoist showed an even more appreciative look, and then his heart moved inexplicably. He suddenly looked towards the door where the wind and rain were raging, and his face gradually became excited.

"Okay, okay, it's a good opportunity to go and take a look at the palace. In that case, let's go!"

The sloppy Taoist spoke in a loud voice, and some people hiding from the rain nearby heard it, but no one dared to say a word.

Zhuang Lin stood up and slapped a piece of silver on the table. Now was not the time to haggle over the price.

"Shopkeeper, this is the meal money, no need to give the change!"

After saying this, Zhuang Lin walked straight out of the house, not caring about the weather outside, and walked directly into the wind and rain.

The sloppy Taoist priest was stunned for a moment in front of the door before chasing after him.

"Alright, everyone here says I'm crazy, but you're even crazier! Boy, we've talked so much and I still don't know your name. I'm a cultivator of the Zhenyi Yanzhen Sect, also known as Dao Yanzi. What's your name?"

"Zhuang Lin!"

Zhuang Lin simply answered with two words, then he gathered his strength with his feet and hurried along the now empty street.

The sloppy Taoist and Zhuang Lin were almost running side by side. They seemed to have brought up a gust of wind, and the falling raindrops could not directly hit them.

"Rumble--"

Lightning illuminated the dim earth, and Zhongshan City seemed like a wet place after the tide receded.

"hold head high--"

The faint sound of a dragon's roar made the sloppy Taoist look up at the sky. Zhuang Lin also glanced to the side and saw that he was obviously not very clear about the situation either, but at least he was heading in the right direction.

Moreover, Zhuang Lin discovered one thing. There seemed to be no divine light in the city. Could it be that even the Water God was being worshipped here?
Instead, the rain curtain formed by the heavy rain in the sky seemed to cover the entire Zhongshan City inside and out. The strong water vapor mixed with the spiritual energy brought by the wind and rain made the fate seem extremely complicated.

"If what I predicted is correct, the Murong clan will definitely be having a grand event today!"

This was a special intuition that naturally emerged in Zhuang Lin's heart after seeing the unusually rapid rain, hearing that the Murong clan had just established their capital in Zhongshan, and hearing the faint roar of a dragon in the sky.

"Hehehe, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you thought!"

The Taoist laughed in an unfathomable way and asked with a hint of amusement.

"Boy, with your martial arts skills at this level, you must have a lot of experience. The person who taught you this skill must not be an ordinary person, right? Maybe he knows some magic?"

Zhuang Lin kept walking and subconsciously glanced at the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest thought he had guessed correctly and smiled again.

"In that case, you might know about, or even have seen, ghosts and demons, right? If I'm unlucky enough to guess something, don't be so frightened you become paralyzed!"

"Humph!"

Zhuang Lin only responded with a faint hum, with no expression on his face, but the Taoist knew in his heart that the scholar in front of him was definitely not a coward.

Zhongshan City, located at the northern foot of the Taihang Mountains, was a relatively large and prosperous city, but it wasn't small, and no matter how big it was, it couldn't be bigger than Luoyang or Chang'an. With the speed of Zhuang Lin and the sloppy Taoist priest, they quickly crossed several streets and arrived at the so-called Great Yan Imperial Palace.

This is just the result of Murong's uprising to restore Yan. They only decided to make Zhongshan the capital this year. How could there be a magnificent imperial palace?
The so-called imperial palace was, at best, a palace rebuilt from some good houses and courtyards in Zhongshan City. Only one newly built hall was of higher specifications.

Zhuang Lin and the sloppy Taoist had excellent eyesight and could see that in the pouring rain, the guards outside the palace were on duty under the eaves of various places to avoid the rain, but the guards could not see the rain curtain.

"What are you going to do, kid? Just charge in?"

Are you really planning to start a massacre?

Zhuang Lin glanced at the Taoist priest and shook his head.

"Just avoid them!"

After saying this, Zhuang Lin used his body skills and rushed out in an instant. He took advantage of the momentum outside the arrow tower on one side of the palace wall and fell into the inner courtyard of the palace like a wisp of smoke under the rain.

The sloppy Taoist grinned, and he was too lazy to use any martial arts to pretend, so he turned into a wisp of wind and smoke and fell into the palace.

After landing inside, Zhuang Lin kept moving forward almost without touching the ground. Perhaps because of the heavy rain or because of the lax guarding, all the guards inside failed to notice him. When he turned around, the sloppy Taoist was following him.

"How's it going, Daoist Master, my Kung Fu is pretty good, right?"

"What you used wasn't martial arts at all."

"Hey, that's right, it uses magic. How about it? Do you want to learn it?"

The Taoist spoke frankly, but Zhuang Lin did not say anything. Although the palace was simple, it was not simple either. At least the defense force was not simple. After entering from the outside, the defense force became strange.

The figures of the guards seemed to blend into the heavy rain. They did not stand under the eaves or in the buildings to avoid the rain. Instead, they stood upright in the rain with weapons in their hands.

"Boy, your martial arts may be powerful, but these are not human beings. Be careful, don't let them capsize in the ditch!"

"Not a human? Could it be a monster?"

"Hehehe, that's right! It's a monster, and it all comes from the water!"

The sloppy Taoist sneered, and Zhuang Lin naturally didn't need any reminders from him. Even with the bonus of the rain curtain and water mirror, the tricks of these water creatures could not be hidden from his discerning eyes.

"Shh, the powerful ones are coming down too!"

As the Taoist said this, Zhuang Lin and he looked up at the sky. They saw several dragon-shaped auras descending from the sky amidst the heavy rain, accompanied by roaring lightning. They twisted and fell into the palace behind them.

There were not many princes and ministers in the main hall of the Dayan Palace at the moment, but there were some ritual officials who performed sacrifices to the sky.

An altar was built in the main hall of the imperial palace, with several large water vats in the center. Ceremonial officers in long robes danced beside the large water vats. They looked more like wizards than ceremonial officers.

"Boom" "Boom"

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the water in the large water tank seemed to boil. Emperor Murong Chui, who was originally sitting on the dragon throne, could not help but slowly stand up at this moment.

There were faint but obvious dragon roars and cries coming from the water tank.

"Ahh." "Moo, moo."

Murong Chui showed a look of joy and walked quickly from above to the large water tanks. The water in these tanks had calmed down, and the shadows of several dragons were reflected in them.

"hold head high--"

The sound of dragon roars came from the tank, and faint dragon energy emerged, making the area around the tank seem to be covered with mist, and the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot.

Several ceremonial officials have huddled aside. This is an uncontrollable fear. Not to mention those who are closer, even some of the servants and palace maids on the periphery are pale and their legs are shaking.
Murong Chui was much better than the others, and could even be said to be a little excited.

"You have finally come to see me. I have successfully restored my country and am now the true dragon emperor. You must obey my orders!"

Hearing Murong Chui's excited voice, a dragon shadow in the water tank laughed and spoke in human language.

"Hahahahahahahahaha. Murong clan, although you have proclaimed yourself emperor, you are but a small nation. The true dragon aura of the Son of Heaven is still shallow. It is not enough for us to obey you. However, we are willing to call you Your Majesty!"

As the dragon finished speaking, the dragon shadows in the other water tanks also saluted him respectfully.

"His Majesty!"

Several dragons called him "Your Majesty", and Murong Chui's face was filled with joy.

"Hahahahaha, fine, fine, my dear ministers, please stand up! They will all be meritorious ministers in the future, but you are right, it is not enough, far from enough, whether it is for myself or for this country!"

"I would like to offer my humble contribution to Your Majesty."

The dragon shadow in the water vat opened its mouth, and a faint blood color appeared on the water vat. Murong Chui looked around and saw those timid ceremonial officials hurriedly stepped forward with utensils in their hands, and scooped something from the water vat. Finally, a little bit of deep red and yellow liquid was scooped into several wooden bowls, and after gathering together, it formed a bowl of light red and yellow blood water.

Murong Chui widened his eyes, impatiently taking the wooden bowl from the ceremonial officer, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The next moment, Murong Chui, who had already looked somewhat old and weak, felt as if his body was burning with fire. His body trembled slightly and he almost fell to the ground. However, a feeling of full of energy slowly rose up from him. Most of his white hair began to turn black, and his skinny body became stronger.
"Ho, ho, ho"

Murong Chui kept breathing heavily, and the dragon energy on his body became stronger.

Several dragon shadows in the water tank complimented.

"Your Majesty's aura of a true dragon is growing stronger. One day he will unify the world and achieve hegemony, truly becoming a true dragon in the world! However..."

"But what?"

Murong Chui had already stood up again with the help of the ceremonial officer, and his voice was now more powerful than before.

"But it seems a little mouse has gotten in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sloppy Taoist priest had actually arrived at the door of the main hall, and it seemed that the water guards could not even touch him.

This also made Zhuang Lin, who was still far away, sigh in his heart and say, "He is indeed crazier than me."

"Little mouse? Hahahahahahahaha, this is the first time I've heard someone describe me like this! Oh, I see. The waters and lakes in this world have been ownerless for a long time. Are you trying to recreate a true dragon?"

Dao Yanzi pointed out the problem with just one word, and the water in several water tanks suddenly seemed to boil.

"who are you?"

"Don't leave him alone!"
