"I haven't considered this matter yet. How would you solve it if it were you, my dear brother?"

Chen Lin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother, why don't you just kill them all? The families of the members who participated in the organization, including their parents, brothers, children, and wives, will be wiped out. One person who participated in the organization will have hundreds of people in his family killed. I hate people who stab me in the back the most. When I meet such people, I usually kill them all and feed them to the livestock."

"..." Jing Yuan paused, and understood the meaning of Chen Lin's words. He waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Brother, you are joking again. Those who deserve death are the participants. Moreover, they are a very small number of people in the Immortal Boat, and they are all evil-minded people. But when the crimes of those people are heinous, it is okay to kill the family according to what you said."

"Big brother is right, but it seems that big brother is not able to take care of the Medicine King Secret Teachings?"

"It's just as you thought." Jing Yuan shook his head decisively. "The Cloud Cavalry Army has exhausted its energy just dealing with other matters, and it is difficult to take care of other troublemaking organizations. Who would have thought that these villains have infiltrated to such an extent."

"When I was searching his memory, I saw some scenes. It seemed that it was in the streets near Changletian, where the young man from Dandingsi met someone..." Chen Lin suddenly stopped here and looked at Jing Yuan meaningfully.

Jing Yuan had no idea what Chen Lin wanted to say. Originally, he really didn't want to bother with the secret teachings of the King of Medicine when he was so busy. Who knew that this group of guys had actually brought trouble to the Six Departments, so they had to be classified at a level lower than the star core.

He knew that infiltration could not be delayed. The longer it was delayed, the more harm it would cause would increase exponentially. In the end, it might even destroy the prestige of the Six Departments and himself as the general.

My younger brother has never been an easy person to deal with. Since he mentioned this matter, it means that he can't just tell me the situation and let it go.

Anyway, he has already signed a trade agreement with the empire on behalf of Luofu Xianzhou, so it doesn't matter if he does a favor.

Jing Yuan seemed to consider it for a moment before he slowly replied, "Brother, are you willing to help me with this matter? Regardless of success or failure, I will keep this brotherhood in mind. No matter what happens in the future, as long as I can help, even if it may violate the rules, I will never refuse."

"Hey!" Chen Lin said dissatisfiedly: "How can we talk about willingness between brothers? Big brother's business is my business."

He picked up the tea and clinked it with Jingyuan.

"Brother, I want to remind you before you leave." Chen Lin paused and said, "According to my experience, when rat hair appears in the food, there may be a large nest of rats in the kitchen. These dirty things reproduce very quickly, so remember to be careful."

"Thank you for your reminder, brother." Jing Yuan stood up and said, "I'll leave the matter of the Medicine King's secret teachings to you, brother. This is the military token of Changletian. It can mobilize the Cloud Cavalry Army responsible for public security there to a certain extent. If you need anything, feel free to contact them."

Chapter 142: There is a traitor, the deal is terminated!

Not long after coming out of the Shen Ce Palace, Chen Lin originally planned to follow Ting Yun to continue to see the areas of Luofu that were not blocked now, so as to tour the scenery, broaden his horizons, and see what else in Luofu was worthy of learning and reference by Yalilo-VI.

Unexpectedly, a text message disrupted his original plan.

Dan Shu of Dan Ding Si invited him to go to Dan Ding Si, so he had to let Ting Yun go back to Tian Bo Si first and discuss the shopping trip on another day.

The road to the starry sea is long, and there are many forces above the sea of ​​clouds that he has never heard of that are all focusing their attention on the Star Sea Empire. All kinds of comprehensive technologies must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, especially the military strength must not lag behind.

History from ancient times to the present has constantly warned him that backward countries will never have a good ending in conflicts.

Forget about expanding the territory. If we don’t even have enough defensive strength, it would be just a pipe dream even if we want to remain independent.

If possible, just bring back the technology. Whether it is needed or not is not considered for the time being, but whether it exists or not is the most important thing.

For example, he thinks things like the Star Raft are average, but Chen Lin also wants to get some back and put them in the museum to tell the people on Yalilo-VI that there are many wonderful things outside the starry sea, and they should not stop for the sake of temporary comfort.

Anyway, he thought Jing Yuan wouldn't mind giving him something in the future, so he might as well deal with the matter at hand first.

Be it the star core or the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, they all belong to the internal affairs of the Immortal Boat. He only needs to intervene and give some suggestions occasionally. Unless Jing Yuan personally entrusts him to do so, Chen Lin would not even help even if the house collapsed.

Outside Changletian Ferry, there is Dandingsi.

This place is not as far away from the city as Taibusi or Shen Ce Mansion. It only takes a few minutes by star raft to reach the territory of Dandingsi.

This place is surrounded by rivers and overlooks the sea. At first glance, it seems to be a place of natural beauty with a wisp of mist. The air is filled with a faint scent of medicine. If there is such a thing as land price in Xianzhou, the environment here can really be called a mid-to-high-end location.

The sky was exceptionally clear. As soon as I got off the ferry, an employee from the Dan Ding Division came up to me and said respectfully:

"Governor Chen, the chief sergeant is waiting for you in the pavilion. Please follow me."

"Please lead the way."

"You are very kind."

Following the staff of Dan Dingsi all the way inside, they soon arrived at a pavilion. Dan Shu, whom they had met yesterday, was standing there with his hands behind his back.

Perhaps because of previous instructions, few people passed by the pavilion. Even the Dan Dingsi staff who led the way for him quietly left the place after completing their mission, leaving only Chen Lin and Dan Shu.

Chen Lin walked into the pavilion with a smile on his face, and looked calmly in the direction where Dan Shu was looking.

He may not have much talent in other things, but when it comes to keeping calm, he is definitely a master.

You come to me to discuss something, and if you don't speak, then I won't speak either.

However, Chen Lin was still attracted by the dead tree in the center of the sea of ​​clouds. He had seen it from a distance several times on the way to Taibusi. Qingque introduced it to him as the ancient tree that could be described as "climbing the sky and hanging down from the stars" in "Dreams of the Shangguo".

She wanted to tell Chen Linduo about the origin of the huge dead tree, but she, as the treasurer of the library, could not find any records about the dead tree.

Either that thing is not important, or she does not have the authority to read the relevant books.

Only then did Chen Lin realize that this piece of dead wood was so close to Dandingsi. Its branches were as broad as a city, which was very shocking.

"Is Governor Chen Lin also interested in Jianmu?" Dan Shu asked softly when he saw Chen Lin staring into the distance.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not curious about such a rare thing." Chen Lin nodded slightly, "Dan Shu said that the dead tree is called Jianmu?"

Dan Shu smiled and said, "That's right. Over the years, many people in Xianzhou have long forgotten the origin of Jianmu and the relationship between Jianmu and Xianzhou. Unless they are people who love history, few people can tell what Jianmu is."

It turns out that before the Immortal Boat set out into the starry sky, it had been tasked with seeking immortality. At that time, the Immortal Boat's hometown had mobilized the entire country to build nine Immortal Boats for this purpose, and took action to fulfill the late emperor's wish to seek immortality.

After going through hardships, only six of the original nine immortal ships are still in operation for various reasons. These six immortal ships form the current Immortal Ship Alliance.

It can be said that Xianzhou's pursuit of immortality was successful, because Xianzhou finally met the God of Plenty and was blessed, and Jianmu was the blessing bestowed by the God of Plenty to believers.

From then on, the people on the immortal boat could live forever after eating the fruit of Jianmu, but it also sowed the seeds of disaster for them to fall into the evil body in the future.

The immortal people reproduced without restraint, and it was not uncommon for ten generations to live under the same roof on the immortal ship at that time. Many families could have dozens of generations living together at the same time.

As the population increased instead of decreasing, Xianzhou faced an internal social crisis for the first time, with food being the first to be affected.

After that, Xianzhou experienced many civil wars because of Changsheng, and falling into the evil body became the fuse of Xianzhou's resistance to Changsheng.

The people of abundance fight for the blessing of abundance, the people of the fairy boat fear falling into the devil's body, and the sudden birth of the hunting star god...

Everything revolves around the Jianmu tree on the fairy boat, which climbs up the dome and hangs down the stars. The people on the fairy boat have also transformed from the original believers of abundance into loyal followers of the hunting star god.

This is why Xianzhou now prohibits anyone from pursuing and researching immortality.

"Eternal life... To be honest, I'm not interested." Chen Lin said calmly: "The empire has spiritual power as a protection. The drawbacks of evolution can be avoided through genetic modification. Corrupted and weak limbs can be replaced by machines. As long as the people of the empire are willing, everyone can be immortal."

He still didn't understand why Dan Shu wanted to tell him all the historical reasons of the Immortal Boat, and even the taboo origin of Jianmu, but he was not interested. He could achieve immortality anyway, so there was no need to risk falling into the devil's body to spy on the secret of the Immortal Boat's longevity seed.

Dan Shu looked over with some surprise in his eyes, and then he slowly responded: "That's great. The immortality research and spying on the Immortal Boat is taboo. I am worried that Governor Chen Lin might touch the hidden wounds of the Immortal Boat when he first arrived."

Then she changed the subject and asked, "Is the gene and machine replacement of the human body that Governor Chen Lin mentioned a very common thing in your country?"

"Yes, very important scholars can store all their memories and thoughts into the server before they die, and resurrect the dead through related consciousness connection methods. This is a common thing. After all, the empire does not want to lose any important scholars or other talents."

Chen Lin paused and said, "In addition, spiritual energy can also make some people immortal, but such opportunities are rare and depend on fate."

"I understand." Dan Shu nodded. "The reason why I invited you here is not only to talk to you about my ideas on curing the evil spirit body, but also to tell you about the matter of suppressing the alchemist who fell into the evil spirit body today. Without your help, there will be endless troubles."

"Master Dan, you are too polite. General Jingyuan and I are brothers, and Luofu Xianzhou is also a friendly country of the empire. This little thing is not worth mentioning."

Chen Lin answered nonchalantly. He always felt that Dan Shu would change the subject to talk about other things from time to time, as if there was some temptation in it.

"As a lower-level alchemist, I don't have anything to give you as a gift. I'll have someone send some common elixirs to Governor Chen later. They are very useful for treating common injuries. I hope you don't mind."

"Master Dan, I..."

【Mingyi. It is beneficial to be steadfast in difficult times】

[If you speak frankly, you will suffer misfortune. If you find another way, you can turn misfortune into enlightenment. ]

[Great Disaster: Ask Danshu about the secrets of the King of Medicine, and tell him that he has accepted Jingyuan's intention to investigate the secrets of the King of Medicine. (If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured or even die.)]

Originally, he wanted to ask Dan Shu about the secret of the King of Medicine, to see if he could get some information from the head of the Danding Division. However, who would have thought that [Seek Good Luck and Avoid Evil] would be triggered again, and asking about the secret of the King of Medicine would be a very bad choice.

Chen Lin decisively swallowed what he wanted to say, and at the same time wondered why asking Dan Shu for the secrets of the King of Medicine would be a disastrous thing.

Could it be that... Danshu is also the secret teaching of the King of Medicine?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen Lin immediately dismissed it.

No matter what, Xianzhou couldn't possibly allow the director of one of the six departments to become a traitor, right? If that were the case, it would be too outrageous.

Dan Shu looked at Chen Lin in confusion, as if he didn't understand why Governor Chen, who was fine just now, suddenly started stuttering, which was very strange.

"If Governor Chen is feeling unwell, I can examine you..."

According to his nature of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, he now needs to change the subject immediately. He must make his words clear while avoiding the matter of the Medicine King's secret teachings in order to avoid disaster.

Find a different way… Find a different way…

Chen Lin suddenly caught a glimpse of an ancient zither in the center of the pavilion.

Got it!

He took a deep breath and said with determination: "I couldn't sleep all night after seeing Chief Dan yesterday. Seeing him again today, I can't help but feel a little uneasy. I even want to stay here with Dan Shu for a few days. Do you know why?"

While speaking, Chen Lin vaguely took two steps towards Dan Shu's location, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Dan Shu was stunned for a moment. When she saw Chen Lin suddenly approaching her, her heartbeat accelerated instantly and her ears suddenly flushed. It was as if the young man in front of her was a walking aphrodisiac, and she didn't even feel disgusted with him.

The panic on her face was gone for a moment, but her tone was a little nervous: "Governor Chen said... you are joking. How can an alchemist who is buried in front of the alchemy furnace at the next level, who is old and plain-looking, be worthy of your attention?"

Dan Shu was actually not bad looking, and her figure was of good quality. Moreover, her mature and steady temperament was more like that of a married woman. In his previous world, she would definitely be the favorite of many descendants of Cao.

"I like this, Danshu, don't worry."

Chen Lin said softly, "When I came here, I saw a zither in the pavilion. Does Dan Shu have this hobby?"

"I will play a few pieces of music when I have some free time, but I am not very good at playing the piano."

After hearing this, Chen Lin immediately began to climb up the pole.

"I wonder if Dan Shu would be willing to play a song? I have been in Xianzhou for so long, but I have never heard the music of Xianzhou. I am quite curious about this."

He wants to play the piano himself?

Dan Shu thought about it and felt that it was not an excessive request, so he nodded happily and sat down in front of the stone table where the guqin was placed.

"As long as you don't mind."

"It is a blessing that a beautiful woman plays music."

Dan Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly wanted to send Chen Lin away from Dandingsi as soon as possible. This young man standing next to her always gave her a very strange emotional fluctuation.

It’s not that I don’t like this feeling... I just feel that she has more important things to do right now and shouldn’t think about these weird things.

The strings of the zither were plucked, and it was a piece of music related to the clearness of flowing water. Dan Shu did not lie to Chen Lin, her zither skills were indeed average, but Chen Lin's unique approach had reached this level. Even if Dan Shu was sawing wood in front of him, he had to show an expression of enjoyment.

Not to mention that Dan Shu's piano skills were pretty decent, at least he didn't miss a few notes throughout the whole piece.

After the song was over, Dan Shu saw Chen Lin half-closed his eyes and looked as if he was still not satisfied, and he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Governor Chen."

Unexpectedly, Chen Lin suddenly opened his eyes and chanted: "The orioles are singing on the island in the river... A beautiful lady, a gentleman's ideal match!"

"The water flows around the uneven water chestnuts. The beautiful lady is sought after day and night!"

Dan Shu opened her mouth in surprise, as if Chen Lin could accurately touch her heartstrings without saying a word.

"I cannot get what I want, I think about it day and night...I am so carefree, I toss and turn."

Is he talking about how he couldn't sleep that night after meeting me?

Dan Shu suddenly retracted his legs, and his cold heart seemed to have a little more color at this moment.

This was the first time in hundreds of years that she had heard someone compose such a poem in front of him, and the words were so subtle, without any fancy words, yet it was so moving!

"The water chestnuts are uneven, picked from left and right. The graceful ladies play the zither and the qin to befriend them——"

"Gurgle..." Dan Shu pursed his lips and stared blankly at the young man in front of him, feeling like crying.

Although the poem is full of love, she has a kind of sad feeling that you were not born when I was born, and I was old when you were born.

In addition, there was also a hint of regret, but those regrets only caused a slight ripple, and the bitterness left behind made it impossible for her to change all the existing facts.

She and he were destined to be impossible.

"The water chestnuts are uneven, and they are picked left and right. The graceful ladies are accompanied by bells and drums."

Such a strong sense of friendship and loyalty could resonate with her just by looking at it...

She is also a loyal person!

The young man in front of her, who was so much younger than her, was so bold to reveal everything he was thinking. Even if he failed, he could advance or retreat and maintain the dignity of both of them.

pity……

She can't.

"I'm sorry, I have a terminal illness and can't delay others."
