Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 30 A Rainy Night

It smells strange.

Chen Shunan's pupils contracted sharply, and he was instantly shaken.

The taste was extremely subtle; if Chen Shunan hadn't also suffered from the burning pain of hibiscus oil and hadn't had such a vivid memory of it, he might have overlooked it.

The source of these strange fragrances was none other than Zhuang Kun and his companions.

It emanated from deep within the flesh and blood, from the gaps between the joints.

Zhuang Kun and his group are also burning hibiscus oil?!

Chen Shunan remained motionless, concealing his aura, until Zhuang Kun and the others had completely disappeared from sight. Only then did he get up and head towards Weiheng Street as if nothing had happened.

The rice mill has somehow gotten mixed up with the hibiscus oil lamp?

Moreover, judging from Zhuang Kun's tone, their rush to the warehouse overnight seemed to be related to the hibiscus oil.
Chen Shunan's face was gloomy.

This is bad news for both Shuiwozi and Chen Shunan.

Whether the person who built the house was just a 'consumer' or through some channel connected with Nanhai Mansion, becoming a shady player in the scheme.

The people in the mill have no reason not to burn hibiscus oil to quickly enhance their strength and make a big deal out of it.

Therefore, the current Tianzi Rice Granary must be a den of dragons and tigers, and there may be a first-class martial artist and various weapons stationed there!

Instructor Lin and his men are in danger.

After delivering the food to the two brothers in the well, Chen Shunan returned to the two meat shops.

“Let’s keep playing, guys. We’ve finished the baijiu. I’m going to the ‘Du Yichu Shaomai Restaurant’ on Mentou Street to get a few more jin of liquor. That’s the real deal.”

Chen Shunan tiptoed and glanced at the card table a few times, then said in a hearty voice.

"That's quite a walk, Old Chen, is it really necessary for you to go that far?"

"It's all worth it, no matter how far, to give these drinks to my brothers!"

"Alright, Old Chen, be careful."

"Okay, you guys have fun! I'll be right back."

Chen Shunan smiled, puffed on his pipe, called out to Wan Niang who was still chopping vegetables at the stove, then lifted the hem of his long gown and left the meat shop.

As Wan Niang watched Chen Shun'an's retreating figure, she felt inexplicably flustered and almost cut her finger while chopping vegetables.

“Brother…” Wan Niang murmured, somewhat lost in thought.

Chen Shunan quickly returned home, changed into close-fitting clothes, and wrapped his face with a towel, revealing only a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes.

Tie a hanging knot, and take a throwing knife and a sharp knife about the length of an arm.

Chen Shunan took a deep breath, his face cold and stern, and pushed open the window to go out.

Leaving aside the fact that Coach Lin enlightened him.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Chen Shunan naturally wouldn't bury his head in the sand and wait until the enemy was right in front of him before reacting passively.

If the mill dares to put its hand on the hibiscus oil fire now, will it dare to put its hand into the water pit in a few days?

Chen Shunan dared not even think about what he might do next!

Chen Shunan made a decision.

tonight,

If Instructor Lin and the others can hold out, he will run away.

If he can't hold out, his exceptional lightness skill allows him to carry two people, set a fire, and continue running.

Boom! !

The instant I stepped out of the courtyard.

Suddenly, a muffled thunderclap was heard from the horizon, like the low roar of a giant beast, shaking the heavens and earth into a sudden white light.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops began to fall.

At first, there were only a few scattered taps, which made a crisp 'tap, tap' sound when they hit the bluestone slab.

In an instant, the rain intensified, pouring down like thousands of silver needles, washing the long street into a chilling cold.

Chen Shunan looked up at the sky, letting the raindrops patter on his face.

Mr. Zhao is right.

The sky had been overcast for half a month.

Finally, it rained.

...In Wuqing County, Tongzhou, there were a total of nine owners in the water well business, who divided and monopolized the water wells of all sizes, and the drinking water expenses of the people in the county.

However, the rice mills were scattered everywhere, numbering in the dozens, large and small.

But in the end, they all belong to the four major mills of Wanlong, Changlong, Xinglong and Jiulong, and they happen to be located in the southeast, northwest and southwest corners of Wuqing County.

Among them, Wanlong Duifang is located in the west of the county, and its jurisdiction largely overlaps with that of Weiheng Street. As a result, the two sides are at odds and have constant conflicts.

The rice granaries in Wanlong Rice Mill are divided into three grades: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Among them, the Tianzihao granary was the largest in scale and had the most grain stored. It was located in Micangshan outside Xizhimen.

It's called a mountain, but it's really just a small hill. It's relatively high in elevation, with low shrubs. There aren't even many decent, thin, slender trees, let alone towering trees.

It's for fire prevention and moisture protection.

Xilulu~
As night fell, more than a dozen tall horses galloped swiftly along the official road, like sharp blades cutting through the air and kicking up dust.

Instructor Lin took the lead, his eyes sharp as a hawk, his whole body shrouded in black, except for his arms, which were bulging with fabric, suggesting he was wearing boxing gloves.

Mount Micang is already in sight.

"Dismount and walk!"

Instructor Lin abandoned his horse and leaped down.

The others followed suit.

Everyone here is a carefully selected expert, though in terms of fighting ability alone, they are inferior to Coach Lin.

But each has its own strengths.

Sun Xiao, the "Spider Venom Hand" who can poison silently; Zhuo Shuzhu, the "White Day Rat" who excels at tracking; and Huo Yue, the "Sea Falcon" with superb bow and crossbow skills...

They practically pulled out Zhao Dongjia's entire core team.

Zhuo Shuzhu had gray eyes and thin cheeks, and was very thin. There was also half a plaster on his temple.

After a long night of running around, Zhuo Shuzhu couldn't help but grumble.

"If Senior Lu were still here, with him paving the way, our martial arts would be unparalleled, and even flawed jade would be no match for us. Burning the granary would be a piece of cake!"

Instructor Lin gave him a cold look, walked in front, and didn't say anything.

Huo Yue scrambled up the nearest tree in a few strides, glanced at Micang Mountain, and chuckled softly.
"Senior Lu is now the head of the Liangjiang Military Academy. In terms of status, he is not much different from Master Zhao... You should worry about the matters at hand."

This senior, Lu, was also an old man from Inoue. He cultivated the "Jade Flaw Embracing Technique," abandoning the tempering of the skin and gathering all his qi and blood strength into the jade tree, tempering his bones to the extreme.

His jade-like figure was the finest weapon, fearless and unstoppable.

He was also a confidant of Zhao Dongjia.

However, after breaking through to the first-class realm, Senior Lu left Shuiwozi and joined the Liangjiang Martial Arts Academy.

Sun Xiao took out a bottle of poison, silently applied it to his hands, and said,

"Top-tier martial artists are either busy cultivating their martial arts skills to achieve enlightenment and open their meridians to cultivate immortality, or they aspire to achieve the unity of the three aspects and become the martial saint of their time. It's only natural for people to strive for higher goals."

Sun Xiao paused for a moment: "After all, there isn't a tenth employer's spot, so let Senior Lu take it."

"Hahaha……"

Many people couldn't help but laugh when he said this.

Because top-tier experts all have their own destinations, no one is worried, as there are top-tier martial artists stationed in that rice warehouse.

After all, hiring such a master to oversee things would cost more than a whole rice granary!

The barren mountain lay like a giant beast, its jagged rocks gleaming bluish-white in the moonlight.

Micang Mountain is in sight, and you can already see the antlers and rolling logs and stones that the mill has set up at the key intersection.

Without saying anything more, the group went around the area and made their way to the rice warehouse along a rugged mountain path known only to the local woodcutters.

They conserved their energy along the way, preparing for a major battle.

Not long after, when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Zhuo Shuzhu's expression suddenly changed, and he made a gesture to Instructor Lin and the others.

Everyone stopped abruptly and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Huo Yue drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

In the dense forest not far away, some dark figures could be vaguely seen, holding guns and sticks, hiding coldly behind a pile of rocks.

Clearly, the other side had also spotted Instructor Lin and his group.
