Heaven's Formula

Li Mengyun couldn't help but froze.

Is this still the Qian Shifang I know?Ten years ago, he was a staunch member of the Seven Stars Alliance, and he would never compromise with the "royalists", or it was precisely because of the tough attitude of the Seven Stars supporters that His Majesty at the time was so choked, and finally decided to act first powerful.

Even if Qian Shifang has held on to this belief for ten years, she still regards the royalist faction as traitors to this day, and she can fully imagine that she wants to find a chance to wipe out the grass.

On the contrary, it was the other party's current behavior that surprised her.

"Everyone has changed a lot in such a long time." Yan Qing seemed to have guessed Li Mengyun's thoughts, "During the battle of Wanjinglou, three of his friends died tragically one after another, and the Privy Council was also seriously injured. Although he was promoted to Yuyi was given the name of Gan, but actually he was depressed for a long time, and it took several years to recover. Even so, he seldom intervened in the internal affairs of Gyeonggi Prefecture after Gan, almost like a different person. "

"You may not believe it when you say it. Later, when the Privy Council reflected on the war of division, Gan was the first person to express his opinion. It was also because of his appeal that the Privy Council later revised its strategy for dealing with the other alchemist and pardoned a group of A low-level person who is related to the royal family." Speaking of this, the lock weaver sighed, "Unfortunately, you have been sent to Xu State long ago and lost contact with Gyeonggi Province. After learning that the convoy was robbed, we also searched for it. I checked your whereabouts, but I never found anything."

Li Mengyun was silent for a long time before whispering, "I didn't expect... after so many years, you can still recognize me."

At this point, she no longer concealed her identity.

"Don't say ten years," Yan Qing smiled, "Even if it takes 100 years, I will still remember your every move."

Li Mengyun couldn't help but sighed.

She naturally knew what the other party was thinking.

But she couldn't respond to this feeling ten years ago, and she still can't respond now.

It's just that some people said that they will always remember her, and it's impossible to say that they didn't touch her in the slightest. She pursed her lips, "I..."

"It doesn't matter. Since you don't want to tell Li your identity, you must have some difficulties. Gan and I will keep it a secret for you." Yan Qing smiled generously, "Now that I know you are still alive, I am already very satisfied. gone."

Chapter 751 Over the sky

"Where have you been?"

When he returned to the crowd in the square, Li was distributing all kinds of snacks in his arms, "I was just going to find you."

Li Mengyun stared at her for a while, and after confirming that she didn't know anything about it, she let out a sigh of relief, "I just saw a somewhat familiar figure, and subconsciously chased after her."

"I just said don't worry," Shan Hui muttered, "Jinxia City is so safe, she won't lose it."

"And then?" Luo Qingqing glanced at her thoughtfully, "Is it someone you know?"

"No, I was wrong." Li Mengyun replied lightly.

"That's it..." Li didn't delve into it any further, she handed over the paper bag in her hand, "You should try this, Jinxia's fried crab is the most popular snack in the city."

Fried...crabs?

Li Mengyun took the paper bag, took out half a crab leg from inside, and slowly put it into her mouth.

The thick, oily aroma immediately filled the entire mouth.

That's a taste that the food in the patio doesn't have.

It has been a long time since she has experienced this crispy texture that bursts with juice when she bites.

Not only Li, but some people in the surrounding area are also enjoying night snacks, ranging from fish and shellfish skewers to candied haws.It seems that for them, it is very natural for them to spend some money on snacks and eat while watching the concert.

Suddenly, a string of fireworks rose from around the square——

They rushed into the sky, and then exploded into balls of brilliant flames.The red, green, and silver-white light clusters illuminated the entire Xicheng District for a short time, and there was an endless roar, just like an important festival celebration.

The cheers of the people also reached a new high.

The children were riding on their father's head, waving and shouting at the fireworks, looking extremely excited.The smiling faces of the adults also showed colorful colors under the illumination of the fireworks.

Li Mengyun looked at Li Yang's side face with the corner of his mouth raised, and was in a daze for a while.

If I hadn't left her, I should be able to enjoy this radiant fireworks show like a family now.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Li Cai withdrew his gaze and turned to Venerable Shengtian, "That's all for today's singing, let's go back to the inn, and tomorrow I will take you to the beach, where there is the largest salt field in Qiguo. There are also ten thousand acres of fertile land newly developed—"

"No need." Li Mengyun interrupted, "Take me to see Her Royal Highness and Xia Fan tomorrow."

Li was stunned, "But didn't you say before that you wanted to observe Jinxia City in the dark for a few more days..."

"It's enough." She shook her head, and Yan Qing's words came to mind again—"The meaning of this city is not limited to living in itself, and the longer you stay in Jinxia, ​​the more you will realize this. If you are willing to take my advice, then go and talk to its creator. I believe you can get answers from him for any questions you may have."

Based on her knowledge of lock weavers, friends rarely give such a high evaluation.

Coupled with all the scenes she saw that day, it would be a bit self-deceiving to delay it any longer.

Moreover, the curiosity in Li Mengyun's heart became more and more intense.

What kind of a man would be able to make the entire core members of the Privy Council turn against him, and whom Li and Yan Qing trusted so much?

If he is really smart enough, there may be a chance to persuade him to come to the side of the Salvation Church, so as to lead more people to escape the doomsday disaster.

"Just tomorrow morning." Li Mengyun said slowly.

……

The next day, Fengyang Villa.

Under the "escort" of a group of alchemists, Venerable Shengtian walked through the courtyard and corridor, and walked into the princess' reception hall.

At her request, this meeting was limited to Princess Guangping and Xia Fan.

Li Mengyun couldn't rule out the possibility that the evil's corruption had spread to Jinxia City, so before the negotiation situation became clear, the fewer people who knew the details of the Salvation Cult, the better.

The moment she stepped into the lobby, her target fell on the man beside the princess.

Although she already knew that the other party was not very old, when she actually saw him, she was still a little surprised by the young man.

It's hard to imagine that at the age of 20, he can manage the city in an orderly manner, and take over the rest of the Privy Council in a stable manner, which has won the hearts of all the high-level alchemists... Even Ning Qianshi, who has the help of the Tianshu envoy, is so capable. Unattainable.

What's even more incredible is that she didn't feel much arrogance and contempt from this person.

The so-called youthful ambition is inevitably frivolous, and Li Mengyun has seen a few young geniuses who are in high positions in Gyeonggi—no matter how they hide it, their pride will always be revealed inadvertently in their gestures.After all, being proud of one's talents is the privilege of the proud, and it is difficult to hold back without years of polishing.

But none of this was revealed on the other side.

He even stood up immediately and made a gesture of invitation to her, "I am Xia Fan, and this is Her Royal Highness Princess Guangping. Welcome to Jinxia City."

Li Mengyun bowed to him, then bowed to Ning Wanjun and sat down across the long table.

"My lord Shengtian, the ambassador of the Salvation Cult, came to Jinxia this time to bring an important news. It is related to the fate of the world and even the whole world."

"Tell me." Ning Wanjun said calmly.

"Before then, I hope you two can wear this ring..."

"If you're talking about the magic ring to prevent evil spirits from being infected, this step can be omitted." Ning Wanjun raised her hand, and the peach wood ring on the little finger of her right hand was clearly visible.

Li Mengyun squinted her eyes for a moment, and confirmed that the pattern of the ring was exactly the same as the ring of the Salvationist Church, then she nodded slightly and said, "It seems that Miss Qing'er has often revealed this matter to Jin Xia."

"Isn't your Salvation Church also paying attention to the situation in Shenzhou?" Ning Wanjun shrugged, "It's just a courtesy."

"Ahem..." Xia Fan coughed twice, "Your Highness means that Jinxia attaches great importance to the phenomenon of evil infection, and is willing to share information with the Salvation Cult."

"Hahaha..." Li Mengyun couldn't help laughing, she could see that it was not Xia Fan who was arrogant, but the princess. "It doesn't matter, the Salvation Church does have an eyeliner in Shenzhou. There is no need to hide this. In fact, we have intelligence gathering personnel in the six countries, and Xu State is the main target of surveillance. Because there are too many things to pay attention to, the number of manpower is too high. It's very tight, so the information on the Shenzhou border has always been very weak, which is why I decided to come here in person."

"Xu Guo... Is there a problem?" Xia Fan heard the words in the other party's words.

"As the initiator and advocate of the Qixing Privy Council, if it is invaded by evil forces, it will definitely have a major adverse impact on the plan of the Salvation Church." Li Mengyun said frankly, "Of course, even if they are not infected by evil forces, they still want to It will be soon after Salvationism is abolished."

"Seven Stars also doesn't want to let Jinxia go." Ning Wanjun leaned back, "It seems that the basis for our cooperation is already established. But before that, I want to understand a few questions first. What is the so-called disaster of destroying the world?" How did it happen? How can the kingdom of heaven you speak of avoid such a disaster?"

Such a sharp question.

This can be regarded as pointing directly to the core of Salvationism.

If she was facing someone else, Li Mengyun would undoubtedly choose to avoid the topic and avoid answering - after all, the two parties have only just met, so she has no reason to reveal the sect's trump card so quickly.But Yan Qing's words "I believe you can get answers from him for any questions you have" always lingered in her ears. She was silent for a while, and finally said, "Disasters are not storms, nor wildfires, Thunder...but it is far scarier than any doomsday scene."

Li Mengyun paused, "Calamity is the enemy."

"Enemy?" Ning Wanjun's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "You mean, Doomsday Disaster is some kind of powerful individual?"

"To be more precise, it's an evil entity." Li Mengyun closed her eyes, and the picture she saw when she accepted the black door key emerged in her mind...

The barrier could no longer protect the world, and was torn apart by cracks, and those who broke this boundary were the so-called extraterrestrial gods and demons.Whether it's a big devil or a ghost, it's not worth mentioning in front of such evil spirits.It carries the billowing black current, sweeping across the entire land with an unstoppable force.

The majestic and tall cities will quickly wither under the engulfment of chaos. Even if some people can survive, they will starve to death because of the lack of food.

On that day, all living beings in the world can only go to perish.

After listening to her story, Ning Wanjun couldn't help but frowned, "Since the evil spirits are overwhelming, Baiyao Mountain should also be doomed. I heard that the kingdom of heaven is a huge well, are you sure that the evil spirits will hide in the mountains because of it?" Just let it go?"

"Of course not." Li Mengyun lowered her voice and replied word by word, "The well is just a container, the real kingdom of heaven is located at the bottom of the well, and when it is activated, all the refugees in the kingdom of heaven will be sent to the sky— —” She stretched out a finger and pointed to the top of her head, “And above the sky, there is the only paradise we can live in.”

Chapter 752 Another Guess

Above the sky...a paradise...

Ning Wanjun showed obvious doubts, she turned her head to look at Xia Fan, wanting to see his opinion, but the latter didn't answer immediately.

At this moment, what Xia Fan recalled in his mind was the content of Li's communication with him last night.

That's right, although the fox demon seemed to be accompanying Venerable Shengtian at the inn, in fact, he chatted with him alone for most of the night using the audio device.Compared with the previous situation report, Li had much more time this time, and the intra-city communication signal was excellent, so it was almost no different from face-to-face chat.

Through detailed conversations, Xia Fan also learned about a series of wonders they encountered on the road, such as the tunnel that runs through Baiyao Mountain, and the giant courtyard known as the escape tower.

If someone else uttered these magic-like words, his reaction would probably be similar to that of Ning Wanjun. After all, elements such as disasters from heaven, salvation from gods and men, and extraterritorial refuges are basically what every doomsday sect talks about. Stuff, because it is difficult to verify, sounds mysterious, very suitable for fooling the general public.

But after adding the experience of Li and others, the situation cannot be generalized.

To be honest, last night's call made goosebumps on his back never stop.

Because those descriptions look like a civilization relic, and it cannot be called a lost civilization—because most of the text and legends of the relic conform to the language structure of the world today, and there is not much difficulty in understanding it. It shows that there is a certain continuity between the two eras. In a sense, they are more like the successors of that civilization.

What is an escape tower?

According to Xia Fan's understanding, this is a proper name on the spacecraft. When the spacecraft body fails, the crew can fly away from the body through the escape tower, thereby avoiding the tragedy of arrow destruction.

But the escape tower that Li heard was obviously a place name.

If it refers to the courtyard, it means that the courtyard is related to escaping, and Venerable Shengtian's description coincides with this situation, and its credibility has risen several levels.

But if you think about it this way, isn't Xanadu in space?

Now there are millions of people in the Qi Kingdom alone, and the total number of the six countries is more than [-] million. It is hard for him to imagine any aircraft that can carry such a huge population to fly away from the disaster—even if it is built to accommodate [-] million people. It's not easy for a human ship, let alone a spacecraft.

And there's another question that's frightening to think about.

If the predecessors really escaped the disaster in this way, where are they now?

Why did they never return to their homeland?

"Xia Fan?"

Suddenly Ning Wanjun's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Only then did he realize that he had been silent for too long.

"Are you okay?" Ning Wanjun stretched out his hand and touched Xia Fan's forehead, "Uh...you don't feel hot?"

"I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something."

"That's good."

Li Mengyun on the other side was dumbfounded, the behavior of these two people was too casual!This is a formal occasion for the meeting, how can Her Highness touch the forehead of the courtier at will?

Moreover, this minister is still a person with real power in Jinxia, ​​and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as one person below ten thousand people. Shouldn't the princess be careful to avoid being bullied by this person!

Li's muttering could not help appearing in her mind——

"These two are going to be together."

Isn't emotion an exaggeration?

Thinking that this guy still lived with Li on weekdays, Li Mengyun's face darkened a bit, she cleared her throat, and said seriously, "I know this news is hard to be trusted, but the doomsday disaster is by no means a religion of salvation. A lie used to confuse the world and profit from it. There are already more and more signs that the crisis is approaching, and King Yong is also seeking to reopen the Black Gate. The current situation is definitely not optimistic!"

At the end of her speech, there was already a hint of anger in her words.

"You're right." However, Xia Fan's next sentence made her feel stuck in her throat, "I also think that the courtyard is a facility built to avoid some kind of disaster."

Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Well, I can't go into details for the time being, but I can understand the prophecy of the end of the world by the Church of Salvation." He stroked his chin and replied, "When I was in the West Pole, I realized that some things did not belong to this era. Both in terms of technology and conception, it is more like a relic left by the pioneers.”

This group of "forerunners" corresponds to the group of people who ascended to heaven in the mouth of the Salvationists.

Li Mengyun's expression suddenly eased, "Do you trust us?"

"From the current point of view, there is nothing to doubt." Xia Fan nodded calmly.

This time it was her turn to be surprised.

While the Salvation Church is lurking in various parts of the mainland, it is also secretly attracting potential allies, but until today, no one side has sided with them because of this doomsday prophecy.

Xia Fan is also the first person in power who is willing to accept this prophecy.
