……
A golden figure sneaked into Yuan Congqian's mansion.
Lin Ruolong looked at the two wine glasses on the table that had not been put away yet. She lifted her golden bangs and narrowed her eyes.
Apparently, during the time she was learning Thunder Method from Master Ping, someone had come to Yuan Congqian's residence. The aroma of grass seeds and the sweet yet bitter taste of grain wine were still lingering on the table, telling of a drinking party that had taken place here.
The smell of alcohol was intoxicating. After just a few sniffs, her mind became heavy.
After tidying herself up in front of the dressing mirror, Lin Ruolong went upstairs and knocked on Yuan Congqian's door.
"Come in." His voice came from inside the door.
When I walked in, I saw Brown Feilin wiping her wet long hair with a towel and tying it up bit by bit. The common people advocated short hair, while the nobles and high-ranking officials advocated long hair. This was compatible with both.
With short hair, he couldn't even wear an official's hat. Was he supposed to go to court without a hat? Inappropriate clothing was equivalent to being indecent in front of the emperor, and he wouldn't be able to expect to receive a salary from the Yan State court for the next month.
A small red fox sat in front of him, wagging its fluffy tail, which was very adorable.
"This is the God of Land." Yuan Congqian pointed at the fox.
The fox had the most contact with Li Nu in the Great Wilderness City. When he meowed, the little Qilin's heart melted instantly. However, Lin Ruolong glanced at the small fox and was afraid that naming it after the land in folk legends was a bit disrespectful to the immortal.
"Your laundry is in the other basket."
"Thank you, Mayor Yuan." Little Qilin answered in a serious tone.
She ran to the clothes basket and saw her long skirt which was as white as new even though it had not been washed for a long time. She knew that it could only be washed by hand and smiled. She opened the long skirt and saw a red bellyband with gold embroidery underneath, which made her scream.
"What is this? I didn't take it!"
Yuan Congqian explained: "I was afraid that you wouldn't know how to wash your own underwear, so I prepared some more for you. In Dahuang City, underwear only has the styles for adult women. For your body shape, I only found this style of bellyband..."
"I can wash it!" The little Qilin stomped his feet in anger.
Isn't it just washing her own underwear? She uses her hands, feet and Originium skills together, is it still impossible to wash it clean?
Lin Ruolong picked up the red bellyband embroidered with gold and saw that it only covered the chest and abdomen. It was hard to say whether she could suppress her shyness if she put it on. Wouldn't her neck, lumbar spine and the parts below that were not covered by the skirt be all exposed?
Is this bellyband for serious girls?
The little Qilin was even more angry, "I won't wear it!"
Yuan Congqian was speechless. What does it have to do with me whether you wear it or not? Do I look like the kind of head of the Five Poisons Village who forces people to wear bellybands to sleep with him? And why does it feel like as long as he deceives her a little, Lin Ruolong will wear it sincerely?
Forget it. It would be a waste of merit to cheat the little Qilin, so let it go.
Yuan Congqian left the fox god of land to Lin Ruolong to play with, and began to handle the official duties of the village chief.
The folks in Dahuang City were willing to trust him, so they handed over the trivial matters that they were arguing about to him. When they looked through the official documents, they found that they were all about who was blocking the road and who had lost their livestock, which were indeed the work of the village head.
Unfortunately, Yuan Congqian had no experience as a street office director, and after a few glances, he only felt a headache. So he took back the file bag and wrote the guidance of the mayor of Dahuangcheng: forward it to Master Ping Tian for decision.
Lin Ruolong lay on the side of the table, next to Yuan Congqian, teasing the God of Land. The stove near the table crackled, and the warm firelight illuminated the room, which gave him a sense of peace and harmony.
Seeing that Yuan Congqian had finished his official duties, she pushed the land god aside:
"Come and teach me how to practice swordsmanship. In exchange, I will also teach you a spell."
"The magic of the Tianshi Mansion?"
"There are a few techniques that all Heavenly Masters will learn and refer to. They are called Chasing Souls, Summoning Clouds, Taking the Moon, Moving, etc. I am only at the entry level and have not memorized them clearly. I only know that the Moving Technique of the Civil and Wood Heavenly Master is a required skill."
Yuan Congqian didn't expect that he could really learn some of the Heavenly Master's magic, so he asked curiously:
"My Originium skills are rare. Only an elder can give me some pointers. Can I also learn your spell?"
Although the inheritance of Originium skills is unstable and depends entirely on the adaptability of the offspring, the development method of Originium skills can be inherited. The thunder method of Lin Ruolong and Lin Qingyan is one of the methods that can be inherited in Tianshi Mansion.
"Of course!" Lin Ruolong puffed out his chest proudly, "It's called Soul Capture! As the name suggests, it's a method of capturing souls. My Originium skills include lightning, and I can also capture souls by relying on the changes in the light!"
It sounds so scary, isn't this hypnosis?
Can this soul-stealing method really be taught to other people casually?
Chapter 169: Lin Ruolong's Hypnosis Experience
"Do you really want to practice swordplay, or do you just want to learn some fancy moves for fun? To become a martial artist, practicing with the sword is enough."
Yuan Congqian actually had the answer in his mind, but out of courtesy, he still asked Lin Ruolong one more question to confirm his willingness.
"Seriously, if you use a sword, I'll use one too."
Lin Ruolong looked eager to try.
The person she was referring to was Yuan Congqian. It had only been a month since Yuan Congqian went from being a son of a noble family who had finished mourning to a heroic knight living in Beijing with superb swordsmanship.
Even if her talent is only one-tenth or one-twentieth of Yuan Congqian's, she can still use the Source Stone technique to help her. After a year in Great Wilderness City, she should be able to do something decent, right?
"As the saying goes, a stick for a month, a knife for a year, a gun for a lifetime, and a long sword to carry with you. It is difficult to see results from sword practice overnight."
Yuan Congqian took out the Qingxin white jade sword from his luggage. It had not been wiped for a long time. It was reflective and warm, and was covered with a layer of mist.
Although he himself saw results overnight, people have different physical constitutions. Many people who practiced the technique became insane and could not even use any sword energy, and could only become the background in the stories of the martial arts world.
"Then let's start with this move."
Yuan Congqian wiped the white jade sword and held it in his hand.
Just by looking at the way he holds the sword, you can tell that he is different from those stunt swordsmen in the movies, and his temperament is completely different. His whole person seems to be more like a sword out of its sheath than the sword in his hand, but he does not have the sharp and pointed aura of Zheng Shuangdao, the coach, or the general.
Lin Ruolong watched it with great anticipation.
She probably imagined that Yuan Congqian would first teach her Chengying, and then teach her a sword technique of his own creation.
That sword technique was a brilliant sword technique that the genius Yuan Congqian thought of in a single breath, and was designed specifically for Lin Ruolong. It could create brilliant lightning that fell from the sky and turn lightning into a sword.
But the little Qilin would probably be disappointed, because Yuan Congqian, like the coach, only demonstrated an ordinary chopped move, and then began to emphasize how to exert force here comfortably and with ease.
The little Qilin blinked: "Is this the end?"
"You try it." Yuan Congqian said with a smile.
Without considering changing his moves, even if he just practiced the same sword every time, it would be enough for the little Qilin, who had no foundation in cold weapons, to work hard for a month.
Lin Ruolong imitated Yuan Congqian's posture, picked up a slightly slender sword inlaid with gold and jade, and swung it into the air.
"You are quite good at dancing. You should be able to have a good career in the northern border of Dayan. You should be able to dance the yangge quite well." Yuan Congqian commented.
Xiao Qilin understood the difficulties, and Yuan Congqian's sharp comments stimulated her desire to explore.
"Come again, show me how you chop it!"
No wonder so many martial arts works always have the protagonist have a female hero who is obsessed with the martial arts world. When the woman dances with the sword, her long skirt swirls in the wind, outlining her waist and abdomen, which is really wonderful.
Using a knife or a sword also requires leg skills. The upper body moves back and forth, and the lower body keeps moving.
Although Lin Ruolong's swordsmanship was poor, Yuan Congqian could still make her dance around with just his hands, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
The little Qilin seemed to be asking Yuan Congqian to show her more times, and in the end, Yuan Congqian swung more times than she did. She thought Yuan Congqian couldn't see it.
Yuan Congqian was also curious about what kind of medicine was sold in the little Qilin gourd.
During the break, Lin Ruolong rubbed his shoulders and gave him water, and they really looked like the harmonious relationship between a master and a disciple in the martial arts world.
She put down the rapier, went out on the pretext of washing her face, tidied up the messy hair that was sticking to her cheeks, and took a deep breath.
She changed back into her white Heavenly Master uniform, holding Lin Guangmei's crystal staff in both hands, and came closer:
"Come on, Master Yuan, this time I will teach you the art of soul-stealing."
"The soul-stealing technique that uses lightning shouldn't be very effective. Does the person whose soul is being stole have to be exhausted for the best effect?"
Yuan Congqian's words made Little Qilin hesitate for a long time before he stammered, "That's probably it."
She quickly began to introduce this soul-stirring elective course.
"Soul-stealing is just a name used by researchers to attract people to learn. It is actually a technique of confusing people. In actual combat, it is no different from throwing a handful of sand in your hand."
"When the enemy is not paying attention during the battle, the master will use lightning and fire to dazzle them. The ignorant will think that the enemy's soul has been captured by the master. It is a superfluous method. As time goes by, soul-capturing has become its official name."
So next, wouldn't it be that Lin Ruolong was going to hypnotize him and do whatever he wanted? This didn't sound very nice.
Noticing Yuan Congqian's gaze, the little Qilin said angrily, "What do you think you are? You are not a spirit that can capture people's souls for easy consumption. Ten seconds of soul-stealing magic is already too much!"
She raised her staff.
"Close your eyes, then open them again."
"Are you going to capture my soul?"
"If I don't show you the effect, how can you be willing to call me master?" The little Qilin boasted.
She thought that in terms of Source Stone skills, she was one of the most advanced masters than Yuan Congqian. They both had their own strengths!
Yuan Congqian felt frustrated, but he did as he was told.
When he opened his eyes, he heard Lin Ruolong's low and tender cry, and the layered, changing, and repetitive electric light shifted and flashed in brilliant colors before Yuan Congqian's eyes.
It can be considered a flash bomb with a dazzling function.
There are many enemies that can resist Originium Techniques, but there are very few that can completely block the light, which is considered a hard control. For an unprepared enemy, being suddenly attacked by this move will indeed be hard controlled and wait for death on the spot.
But for Yuan Congqian, who was not very anthropomorphic, the soul-stealing technique was obviously ineffective.
Even though he tried not to react on purpose, Qixing Longyuan's reaction was faster than his, and he had already generated a crystalline nonlinear area, deflecting the light that shot into his eyes.
Yuan Congqian wanted to see what little Qilin was going to do, so he pretended to be distracted and let his pupils dilate slowly.
The little Qilin's evil plan succeeded immediately, and he chuckled: "Hehe, I told you ten seconds, and Master Yuan really believed it. The martial world is so dangerous, the master should be more careful and prepared."
She reached out and made Yuan Congqian close his eyes. Then, her voice sounded closer and closer to Yuan Congqian.
"When I left the capital, I said I owed it to Xia Yuan... and you actually want to come and ask for it? Pay it back now!"
In the vision provided by the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, the little Qilin closed her eyes, made up her mind, and kissed Yuan Congqian. To her surprise, she was too short and could not kiss him once.
Lin Ruolong gritted his teeth and reached out to pull Yuan Congqian's head off. "I remember you pulled my head off like this..."
A chill hit the tip of my mouth, but not right in the middle, but slightly below.
But the little Qilin obviously had no time to take care of all these. While Yuan Congqian was still unconscious, he ran away with his staff in his arms!
Chapter 170 Draco Survival Report
Yuan Congqian opened his eyes and watched the little Qilin run out in panic.
If I tell Lin Ruolong that she was not possessed at the time, but was awake the whole time, is it possible that she would explode on the spot? I'll use this foreshadowing when I tease her later.
The Shenwu Army brought news from afar.
"Jiedushi, the people from the capital have arrived, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites asked about the meeting place and time."
"Let's do it tomorrow morning. The meeting room will be in the unused room of the crop germplasm bank."
"We'll go and notify you right away."
The Shenwu Army came and went in a hurry, and that night they started to take people to clean up the rooms.
The next day, Yuan Congqian put on the Jiedushi's sword and golden seal and came to the conference room in the core city area.
Officials from the Honglu Temple and Shangshutai have all arrived, including the Right General Ning Yuanguan, the Minister of the Imperial Household Li Cunshan, and the Minister of the Honglu Temple Yan Junyan. There are not many people participating in the report meeting, but they are all high-ranking officials in the court and should not be underestimated.
Lao Li looked even more depressed, and kept muttering about Wang Shi of Langyi. He only said a simple greeting to Yuan Congqian.
This meeting was related to the arrangements Yuan Congqian had made before leaving the capital.
The Terra continent balance policy he proposed, which was to suppress Victoria and support Ursus, was certainly not just talk.
During the days that Yuan Congqian has been in the Great Wilderness, in addition to Master Doushu and Little Qilin, he has been studying the files inside the Yan Kingdom that record Victoria's information, combining the plot he saw from the God's perspective in his previous life, looking for a point of entry to confuse Victoria.
Before the meeting started, Yuan Congqian chatted with several important officials.
"How did the independence meeting of RIM Billiton go?"
"The current Lateran Pope, Evangelista XI, has had many dealings with me."
Yan Junyan explained in detail with an admiring expression.
"The RemBitto people and I chose the Lateran as the venue for the meeting simply because it is located between the core circle countries and is convenient for travel between the countries. I didn't expect the Pope to take the opportunity to propose changing the name of the meeting to the Universal Conference and adding two proposals."
“Add two proposals?”
"The first is that Lateran proposed that all countries recognize Syracuse as an independent country. I am afraid that the Sicilian lady in Syracuse has some connection with Lateran. The second is to formally confirm Lateran's status as a neutral country and be responsible for opening a conference involving many countries."
Yan Junyan smiled and said, "The Pope also specifically said that as long as Yan Country also supports his two proposals, Syracuse and Lateran will, in return, support the establishment of an independent country for Rem Billiton Northeast. He is also willing to support future commercial linkages."
"Just say it like that?" Yuan Congqian was slightly surprised.
