Chapter 116 Double Thunder
Dark clouds have begun to be clouded in the sky. In this rainy season, it has not attracted more attention. The farmers on the outskirts of the city are planning to take advantage of the rain to pull out the weeds in the fields, while the women in the family are busy packing up the clothes to dry.
The shops on Chengdongmen Street are preparing for the rain. At this time, a snow-white horse stepped on its vermilion hooves and flew across the street. To people's surprise, there was no tough man sitting on the horse, but a small three-year-old child.
If it hadn't been for the child's dazzling bright yellow move on his identity, I'm afraid that the guards at the gate would have rushed to stop the running horse.
When the sound of hoofs was far away, people began to speculate that His Royal Highness was in a hurry on the horse and didn't know what to do.
As Xuanyuan Huaijin was worried, the dark clouds did not cover the whole imperial city endlessly, but more concentrated over the Xuanyuan Palace. This made his uneasy heart more and more serious.
"Hurry up!" In a hurry, Xuanyuan Huaijin pulled a fierce whip on the thousand-mile good foal under him. The horse was in pain, hissed, and ran wildly.
It's just that no matter how powerful the steed is, how can it beat the speed of lightning?
With a loud noise, the sky was torn apart, and a flash of lightning hit a certain area of Xuanyuan Palace. There, it is the study where Xuanyuan Dayu usually stays in correcting documents.
Then, another...
Without caring about anything else, Xuanyuan Huaijin kicked the horse's back, jumped into the air, and a long whistle blew out of his mouth.
Immediately, a streamer flew out of the depths of the inner courtyard of Xuanyuan Palace, passed through the heavy telescreen made of lightning, just rightly caught the falling Xuanyuan Huaijin, and then turned his head and flew to Xuanyuan Day.
The speed of lightning falling at the beginning is relatively slow, and there is a gradual acceleration trend at this time. Xuanyuan Huaijin pinched the magic formula and turned into a streamer with the jade sword under his feet and plunged into the study.
A flash of lightning just hit and was blocked by the air mask formed by the jade sword protector. Even so, the powerful force also made Xuanyuan Huaijin feel that his throat was sweet and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"The power this time is much greater than the last time." He swallowed the sweetness in his mouth and raised his eyes to look for Xuanyuan's figure.
The roof of the study has been pierced by lightning, and the shining white light shines the study clearly. Everything here is no different from usual. The only difference is that Xuanyuan Day did not sit in the position where he sits every day.
"Where are the people?" Xuanyuan Huaijin was confused.
Since Lightning is still attacking here, it must have believed that there is Xuanyuan Day's existence here, but there is no half-person figure in front of it, but how can it explain it?
Just as he was wondering, Xuanyuan's voice came from a charm on the book: "Huaijin, get out of there!"
Xuanyuan Huaijin took a step forward and saw a pile of similar runes attached to the chair where Xuanyuan was sitting, which was shining brightly.
Obviously, it is the role of these double charms that make the thunder and lightning outside the house mistakenly think that Xuanyuan Day is still in the house. It's just that when Xuanyuan Huaijin just entered the house, the light of the lightning was so dazzling that he didn't notice the existence of these runes for a while.
Since Xuanyuan's voice sounded anxious but not dangerous, Xuanyuan Huaijin followed his intention and exited the room shrouded in lightning.
As for who was, he could know in advance that Xuanyuan Day was about to suffer a thunderstorm, and he also took the lead in this rune array to deal with it. Xuanyuan Huaijin thought about it casually and knew that it must be the national guardian mage who hid in high buildings all day to participate in the study of astrology.
Sure enough, when Xuanyuan Huaijin turned around and left the scope of the lightning attack, a guard came to lead the way and took him to a two-story pavilion that looked very simple. This is where the guardian of the country lives.
As soon as he entered the door, he was hugged in front of him. This excessive closeness made him frown. Even if he is a person for two generations, he still doesn't want to be too close to the people around him.
"You want to scare my heart to death, don't you?" Xuanyuan didn't care about his displeasure. He just tightened the little one and was afraid that he would run to some dangerous place if he didn't pay attention. "In the future, follow me obediently and don't go anywhere."
After confirming the safety of Xuanyuan Dayu, Xuanyuan Huaijin began to look for something that puzzled him. In his opinion, the previous mage who protected the country did not have such a great ability. Even if he could deduce the arrival of the thunderstorm, it would not be so easy to save Xuanyuan Day under the triple nine palace thunderstorm, unless his brain was suddenly enlightened.
What is reflected in Xuanyuan Huaijin's eyes is not the old Taoist priest who is 70 or 80 years old, but a slender and elegant back, against the continuous flashing lightning outside, transforming the illusory light and shadow, and evoking an inexplicable familiar feeling in Xuanyuan Huaijin's heart.
"Who is this person?" He couldn't help asking himself in his heart.
As if he heard the doubt in his heart, the man turned around, raised his lips and smiled. In an instant, he was brighter than Xia Hua, which made everything around him gloomy. Even the lightning flashing outside the window seemed to disappear at this moment. His plain white long clothes set off his dusty temperament: "Changqing has seen His Royal Highness."
At this time, a thunder flashed, and everything was so strange.
Zhou Chongxiao suddenly woke up from his dream, and the continuous thunder outside the window interrupted his dream. He got up and looked in the direction of Xuanyuan Palace, where the lightning showed no sign of stopping.
"What kind of mistake did this emperor make? It would lead to a triple thunderstorm." He shook his head, but he didn't intend to continue to study this problem. For Zhou Chongxiao now, life is just to go to the imperial city as an official for a few years according to the meaning of his parents, and then take his wife and children back to his hometown.
After drinking all the herbal tea on the table in one gulp, a burst of drowsiness swept Zhou Chongxiao's mind again. He looked up at the sky and calculated that it wouldn't matter if he slept a little longer, so he turned around and lay back on the bed. These days, he felt that he was getting more and more sleepy, but the doctors did not find anything wrong after a long time, so he also took a nap because he was unconvinced.
Outside the house, Li Hanyu, holding a food basket, stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door.
Zhou Chongxiao has been asleep since he came back in the early morning. He didn't eat at all, so Li Hanyu couldn't help but prepare a basket of food for him. However, after she knocked a few times, there was still no movement in the room. I don't know whether Zhou Chongxiao didn't want to open the door or slept too much.
In a word, Li Hanyu stood for a long time and could only turn around and leave.
Zhou Chongxiao fell into the dream again and slept uneasily. In his nightmare, there is always a blood-red silk thread to wrap him up. He kept running away, but he couldn't escape at all until he found that one end of the original silk thread was tightly tied to his own heart, and the other end was the other end of the vast white fog.
"Who is it?" Curious, he pulled the silk thread and began to look for the existence of the other end.
In the white fog, there was a faint figure of a woman standing, and there seemed to be a whisper in the wind, but no matter how much he concentrated he could not hear.
"Who the hell are you?" He kept walking forward, but felt that he could never get close to the figure. He couldn't help shouting.
The woman seemed to be disturbed. She suddenly turned around and reflected in front of Zhou Chongxiao, but it was the tender face of Princess Feng Xuanyuan Huaisheng with tears...
A violent headache hit Zhou Chongxiao's mind, making him have to retreat from the dream, cover his head, and curl up into a ball in **. Even the originally peaceful aura on his body began to be chaotic and restless, and the power inadvertently emitted shocked Mei Xiang, who was retreating in the house.
"Sir, how is he, my lord?" Li Hanyu saw the doctor walk out of the door and hurried forward to ask. If Mei Xiang hadn't found Zhou Chongxiao's abnormality at the first time and let her quickly call the doctor, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The old doctor shook his head, looked at Zhou Chongxiao in the room with an incredible look, and said slowly, "Madam, Lord Zhou, the old man can't get a doctor with this disease!"
Hearing how the disease could not be cured, Li Hanyu only felt black in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he was unconscious and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, although the old doctor was old, he was still quick-sighted. He hurriedly caught her body and placed it at the low table beside him. After a silver needle went down, Li Hanyu woke up leisurely.
"Madam, don't be in a hurry to be sad. The old man hasn't finished his words yet!" Seeing that Li Hanyu was going to fall into a coma again, the old doctor quickly said.
"The old gentleman said that the doctor can't come..." Li Hanyu heard a glimmer of hope and was much more sober.
"Lord Zhou, it's not really sick." The old doctor twisted his beard and shook his head. "From the current symptoms, Lord Zhou has a splitting headache. He feels that there seems to be something strange in his mind, and he suspects that he will unconsciously be in a fantasy and can't extricate himself. According to Lord Zhou and the old man's careful diagnosis, the culprit of this situation should still be in Lord Zhou's mind. That is to say, Lord Zhou really has other things in his mind. In this case, the old man naturally can't be treated, but he is sure that Lord Zhou can't die.
"Oh, my God!" Li Hanyu covered her mouth. There are other things in this man's mind. Can this man be saved? What's the difference between this and directly announcing Zhou Chongxiao's death?
"Don't panic, madam. The reason why the old man dares to say that Lord Zhou can't die must have a reason for the old man. The old doctor continued to look at Zhou Chongxiao's door with strange eyes and said in a skeptical tone, "Madam, the old man suspects that the things in Lord Zhou's mind are actually put in by himself!"
