This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 420: Snowstorm Curse, Seen Again in History (7000+)

2 month 13 day.

More than a month has passed since the first grand court meeting of this year.

Lanling City and surrounding areas have experienced heavy snowfall for more than a month, which is not common in previous years.

Because it was located in the capital area, the court provided great benefits and support, so no problems arose.

However, the continued low temperatures and heavy snow have caused large-scale snow disasters in several provinces!

Roads were blocked, livestock froze to death, and houses collapsed under the weight of snow.
Although the central government quickly ordered all localities to provide personnel and resources for rapid disaster relief, rescue work was delayed because many remote areas had no railways and normal roads were blocked by heavy snow.

Luo Province, Fuhua Prefecture.

Kangjia Town is more than 300 miles away from Jiashishi City.

This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides. After the heavy snow blocked the mountains, the only few entrances and exits were also frozen by the snow.

The telephone lines were also damaged, and the entire town has been cut off from the outside world for almost a week.

The charcoal and firewood used by the townspeople for heating in their homes are almost used up, and some people have even frozen to death!

In the most luxurious three-story attic in Kangjia Town, Mayor Yu Ming sat in his study with a serious face.

There is a stove in the study, which makes the whole room warm.

Yu Ming joined the army when he was young and became a warrior in the Body Breaking Stage. He made contributions on the battlefield. After retiring, he spent money to find connections and eventually got himself the position of town mayor.

His family had enough supplies for the winter, and he had the physique of a warrior, so even if everyone in the town froze to death, he would not die.

But at this moment, sitting in the warm study, Yu Ming's heart was very cold.

“When did this thing start to appear?”

He held a flyer in his hand and asked the person sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Zhang from the institute came to my house yesterday and said that someone knocked on his nephew's door a few days ago and gave this thing to his nephew."

Kang Changyu's face also wrinkled into a ball. He scratched his messy hair and spoke.

He is a native of Kangjia Town and is the director of the town’s inspection office.

The town level is different from the "city, prefecture, and province" above. It does not have a complete six courts. In addition to the mayor and some officials affiliated with the Ministry of the Interior, there is only one inspection office with about 20 inspectors to maintain the town's public order.

Therefore, the two people sitting in the study now are already the two people with the highest official positions and power in Kangjia Town.

But now both of them hated that their official positions were too low and their abilities were too limited, and they had no idea how to deal with the situation at hand.

The content of the leaflet that Yu Ming was holding was extremely blasphemous!
It is said that during times of disaster, evil spirits will appear. This means that during times of disaster, many evil cults will take the opportunity to emerge and win over people's hearts.

Yu Ming and Kang Changyu had seen similar things in the past, and had even personally wiped out some cult members.

But this leaflet can no longer be simply described as a cult.

The content of the flyer is simple and direct, all in plain language, and mainly talks about three things:
First, there were corrupt officials everywhere in the Da Lan Dynasty, and almost all the supplies given by the court to the people for winter were embezzled.

Second, the imperial court whitewashed the situation. Last year, more than a million people died in Ming Province! There was also a war in the north, and the war was not going well.

Third, the emperor was incompetent and the court was immoral, which led to heaven's punishment. This snowstorm was heaven's punishment, proving that the fate of the Great Blue Dynasty was about to end!
Otherwise, why was it fine when it snowed every year for so many years, but there was such a severe snow disaster this year?

These three points, one after another, are equivalent to saying that there are problems in the Great Blue Dynasty from top to bottom!
At the end of the leaflet, there was a curse, which roughly meant cursing corrupt officials, cursing incompetent ministers, cursing the despotic rulers, and finally cursing this corrupt country!

The contents revealed on the leaflet and the final curse made Yu Ming and Kang Changyu terrified.

In the past, those cults at most made people believe in some evil god so that they could gain spiritual comfort, etc.

But this unknown organization that emerged this time directly asked people to curse officials, curse the court, and even curse the king, and curse the entire Great Blue Dynasty!
"Lao Zhang's nephew said that the person handing out the leaflets told them that as long as they recited the last part of the spell sincerely, they would not be afraid of the severe cold."

Kang Changyu said.

Yu Ming was shocked: "Have you tried it?"

Kang Changyu quickly shook his head: "How dare I!"

Yu Ming looked at him: "What about Lao Zhang's nephew?"

Kang Changyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Old Zhang's nephew didn't dare to try it at first. It was because his wife couldn't stand the cold that she tried to recite this spell. As a result, she really didn't feel that cold anymore."

"grass!"

Yu Ming couldn't help but swear.

"Mayor, you have traveled a lot in the past and have seen a lot. Can just reciting a few spells really work? Old Zhang's nephew's wife is just an ordinary person."

Kang Changyu asked doubtfully.

Yu Ming took out a cigarette and Kang Changyu quickly lit it for him.

Yu Ming's eyes were deep, and he said slowly:

"Back then, we fought in the southern desert, where the temperature difference between day and night was huge. It was as hot as a steamer during the day and as cold as an ice cellar at night.

One time, our team encountered a group of dead bodies of our own people at night. They were all mummified, as if they had been roasted by a fire for days and nights. But the problem was that the temperature was very low at the time, and there was no trace of fire around. Even the clothes on these corpses were intact, and they were frosted. "

"what?"

Kang Changyu opened his mouth wide, "How did you do that?"

Yu Ming: "At that time, the captain of our team said that this was a sorcery performed by wizards from the southern desert country. Their wizards are our warlocks, and they use the same magic."

Kang Changyu frowned: "Is this magic so powerful? It's just some tricks to deceive people. The evil cult sorcerers we caught before were not that powerful."

Yu Ming shook his head: "You don't understand. Magic can affect people's minds. Some magic can only bewitch people's minds, while some magic can affect people's bodies through their minds. For example, those mummies we saw at the beginning, they burned themselves to death!"

"He burned himself to death?"

Kang Changyu was horrified when he heard this and couldn't understand how this was done.

Yu Ming said solemnly: "In short, some of the magic is very strange. The spells written on this list may really make people's bodies warm and keep out the cold."

"Then what should we do?"

Kang Changyu asked.

This is horrible weather that can freeze people to death, communications have been cut off, and rescue from the court has been slow to arrive. If the spell on the leaflet can really keep people warm, most people won’t care who the spell is for!
Although the literacy rate in Kangjia Town is not high, there are still people who can teach people how to chant the spell directly.

These spells are straightforward and easy to remember.

"Organize people immediately and search every house. We can't keep this kind of thing. If it gets out, we might all lose our heads in the future!"

Yu Ming gritted his teeth.

"How do we solve the problem of keeping warm?"

Kang Changyu knew that searching for leaflets could only be a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution.

"Mobilize the wealthy families in town to distribute supplies, starting with your home and mine!"

Yu Ming acted decisively and decided to spend money to avoid disaster.

"it is good."

Kang Changyu also knew how serious it was, and although he felt distressed, he decided to cooperate.

boom--

Suddenly there was a muffled sound from downstairs.

The two people in the study were startled and stood up quickly.

Kang Changyu immediately took out his service pistol from the holster at his waist, walked to the study door, and listened to the noise outside.

Yu Ming glanced at the sword hanging on the wall. That was the weapon he brought back when he retired from the border army.

In the end, he did not take down the sword on the wall, but took out a revolver from the drawer.

After being away from the battlefield for many years, he is no longer the brave warrior he once was.

Even though he was a warrior in the Body Breaking Stage, he trusted the pistol in his hand more.

The two looked at each other, opened the door of the study, and looked outside.
On this day, Kangjia Town was still suffering from the ravages of wind and snow.

The inspection office did not take any action, and the mayor's family did not distribute any supplies to the outside world.

Covered by ice and snow, seven provinces in the Great Blue Dynasty suffered snow disasters, affecting millions of people!

What happened in Kangjia Town was also happening in many other places at the same time.

Lan Lingcheng.

Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Li Fei was finally no longer the only one in the mansion. Now there were more than a dozen maids and servants, as well as a housekeeper and guards.

These people were arranged by Lu Wenxing for Li Fei, and they are all trustworthy.

Li Fei pushed open the door and walked into the yard, looking up at the sky.

The snow is still falling, but it is much lighter than last month, and the temperature is gradually warming up.

Ordinary people may feel that the weather is gradually getting better, but only those who are proficient in magic can sense that there is a powerful magical force in the sky that affects the wind and snow in the entire city!
Li Fei speculated that this was a large formation covering Lanling City that was at work.

This large formation might have been decided by the imperial court to be built after the Western coalition forces approached the city, in order to prevent Lanling City from being bombed again.

However, this large formation is not used to resist Western bombers now, but is used to resist wind and snow.

"Master Hou."

came a voice.

Li Fei turned around and saw Lu Wenxing walking towards him.

"Old Lu, what's the matter?"

Now Li Fei's way of addressing Lv Wenxing has changed from 'Lord Lv' to 'Old Lv'.

"Chi Chengyu's case has been decided!"

Lu Wenxing went straight to the point.

"Oh? How was it decided?"

"Chi Chengyu admitted to forming a clique for personal gain, corruption, bribery, and suppressing his colleagues. But he refused to admit to murdering Su Xuesong's only son, Su Yifei. There is no evidence to prove that he was the one who killed Su Yifei."

"In fact, I don't think Su Xuesong necessarily believes that his son was killed by Chi Chengyu. He just needs someone to vent his anger on."

"Your Excellency's opinion is excellent."

"What about the collaboration between the Entry into the World Society and the New Heaven Society?"

"Chi Chengyu also admitted it, but he only said that he was doing business in partnership with others and didn't know anything about the New Heaven Society."

"Well, what was the final verdict?"

"Chi Chengyu resigned and lost his position as a cabinet official. He was sent to fight in the northern border to make up for his mistakes."

Lu Wenxing said.

After all, Chi Chengyu is a martial arts master, and the crime he confessed to is not too serious, so he will definitely not be sentenced heavily.

It just so happens that the war in the north has not yet ended, so sending him there can make amends. Maybe there will be a chance for him to make a comeback in the future.

Li Fei was not interested in Chi Chengyu's sentencing result. He just wanted to know whether he could dig out clues about the New Tianhui through this case and close the Temple of Heaven assassination case.

"Accompany me to the Supervisory Office."

Li Fei said to Lu Wenxing.

"it is good."

Lu Wenxing turned around and went to the garage, ready to drive.

Soon, a car drove out of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

"My Lord, the first national referendum of the Blue Patrol Pavilion is scheduled for the 1st of next month."

In the car, Lv Wenxing said to Li Fei while driving:

"In Feng Province, your application has been approved and you can participate in the referendum as a reserve cabinet member. In addition, Feng Province has two reserve cabinet members, He Zhuoran and Miao Lang.

He Zhuoran is the head of Lingyun Sect of Yunxi Mansion, and Miao Lang is the worshiper of Lu Family. "

The matter of Lanxun Pavilion was formally approved at the grand court meeting on February 2st.

During the following period, the imperial court sent invitations to all qualified people and forces in the twenty-three provinces, inviting them to join the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

As long as one has reached the Dao Foundation Stage or the Possession Stage and passes the assessment, one can become a counselor of the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

As long as one possesses the skills of a martial arts master or an immortal and passes the assessment, one can become a candidate member of the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

The so-called assessment is actually the recognition of the court.

The Blue Patrol Pavilion does not restrict official positions, so whether you are a martial artist or a court official, as long as you pass the assessment, you can join the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

The only 'unspoken rule' is that grand masters and top masters will not be accepted to join for the time being.

Although it has not been brought up openly, all the forces that should know about this "unspoken rule" now know that the highest level of cultivation of the Blue Patrol Pavilion members is limited to the level of martial arts masters or real people.

This rule is actually designed to take care of those non-top forces.

Except for the top forces such as Buddhism and Taoism, one building and one pavilion, three mountains, four sects and seven families, the rest of the forces do not have the combat power of the grandmaster or top real person level.

If there are no restrictions, it will be difficult to maintain the balance of the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

In this case, the candidate cabinet members participating in the referendum in the twenty-three provinces were all martial arts masters or immortals.

The only exception is Li Fei.

But this Marquis Jing'an is famous throughout the world. As the first basic period in ancient and modern times, he has killed a martial arts master with dual supernatural powers and publicly defeated a martial arts master. No one would question that he is not qualified to participate in this referendum.

It's just that not many people thought he could be elected.

“According to the information I have heard so far, there are 17 Dao Foundation Stage warriors and 6 Possession Stage great magicians in Yunxi Prefecture who have become counselors.

There were 22 Dao Foundation Stage warriors and 6 Possession Stage great wizards who became counselors in Qingli Prefecture.

There were 51 Dao Foundation Stage warriors and 10 Possession Stage great wizards in Datong Prefecture who became counselors.

34 Dao Foundation Stage warriors and 17 Possession Stage great magicians from the provincial capital of Feng Province became counselors. "

Lu Wenxing told Li Fei the detailed data he had found out.

The key to a referendum lies in the number of votes. Only warriors at the Dao Foundation Stage and great wizards at the Possession Stage can become councilors and have the right to vote.

Li Fei silently calculated:
Because Datong Prefecture has Wu'an University, the number of Daoji-stage warriors is greater than the other two prefectures combined. A large number of Daoji-stage warriors are professors at Wu'an University.

The rest were partly government officials from Datong Prefecture and partly people from the underworld.

With these 51 votes, plus the 10 votes from local courts and Datong Prefecture Court of Justice, Li Fei can get at least 50 votes!
Then he counted the number of votes from the Lu family.

The Lu family's ancestral home is in Qingli Prefecture, so this prefecture is almost the Lu family's "voting base".

There are 28 votes in Qingli Mansion in total, and the Lu family should be able to get them all.

There are a total of 51 votes in the provincial capital, most of which are from Hongyi University and the Lu family. The Lu family can get at least 40 votes.

By this calculation, the number of votes for the Lu family's priest will not be less than 68!
In other words, even if Li Fei got all the tickets from Datong Prefecture, he would still not be able to beat the Lu family.

"The key lies in the 23 votes from Yunxi Prefecture. If we can get them, we still have a chance."

Li Fei pondered in his heart.

Yunxi Prefecture also sent a representative, who was He Zhuoran, the head of Lingyun Sect.

Although the other party knew that he would definitely not be elected as a cabinet member, he would definitely take away a portion of Yunxi Prefecture's votes.

Because according to the newly introduced referendum rules, reserve cabinet members who are not elected must at least get more than 10 votes in the referendum.

Otherwise, he will lose the qualification as a reserve cabinet member.

The powers of a reserve cabinet member are greater than those of a councilor, and he or she will be eligible to run for cabinet member next year, so at least a dozen votes from Yunxi Prefecture will be given to He Zhuoran.

This rule is intended to prevent some forces from sending more than one person as a reserve cabinet member.

With this rule, if you want to have more reserve cabinet members, you must give away some of your votes.

In that case, his chances of winning the cabinet election might not be a sure thing.

“The number of neutral votes I can secure is probably only a dozen or so.”

Li Fei calculated silently and found that he wanted to defeat the Lu family in this referendum.

The difficulty is too great.

"I have already contacted the Marquis' Mansion and Bian Jingru, the garrison commander."

Lu Wenxing said to Li Fei, "Tell them to find a way to win more votes for the Marquis."

Li Fei nodded: "If there is anything you need me to do, please let me know in time."

As the two were talking, the car arrived at the headquarters of the Supervisory Cabinet.

Li Fei got out of the car and walked in with Lu Wenxing.

More than an hour later, the two men came out, got in the car and left.

Li Fei came to He Jian to discuss the case of the WTO. The case was just closed today, and the detective had already obtained many clues and ideas for solving the case through Chi Chengyu's confession.

If everything goes well, the Temple of Heaven assassination case can be closed.

In this way, Li Fei, the Blue Patrol Special Envoy, will have no other tasks to do and can concentrate on reopening Shangguan Xiao's case.

In a good mood, Li Fei drove back to his residence.

When the car drove to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he saw a somewhat familiar figure through the car window.

"parking."

Li Fei said.

"Master Hou?"

Lu Wenxing turned to look at him.

"I saw an acquaintance, so I got off the car to ask."

Li Fei said as he opened the car door.

Outside the gate of the mansion, in the snow, a young man in a Taoist robe stood like a green pine with a sword on his back.

The young Taoist priest had an ordinary appearance, except for his eyes and eyebrows, which were like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, making people unforgettable upon seeing him.

"Brother Ning?"

Li Fei came up to this person and spoke.

The person who came was the current second on the Fengyun list, Ning Chuan!
Ning Chuan clasped his fists and saluted towards Li Fei:
"Meet Marquis Jing'an."

Li Fei raised his hand: "Brother Ning, you don't have to be polite. Are you here to see me?"

Ning Chuan nodded and said word by word:

"I challenge you."

Li Fei was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the answer.

"I know I am no match for you."

Ning Chuan said very frankly.

He is a very proud man. Among the several peerless geniuses written in "On Prodigies", he is the proudest one.

But this pride was gradually buried as the incident happened in Daluo Sect.

This time, Ning Chuan went down the mountain and traveled around the world in order to regain his pride.

In other words, regain the pride of Daluo Sect!
"I arrived in Lanling City ten days ago, but I didn't come to your house to find you immediately."

Ning Chuan explained to Li Fei very seriously, "I spent ten days to polish my state of mind and accumulate my sword intention. I have prepared for this battle ten days in advance.

I am certainly not your opponent, but this battle will definitely not be boring for you."

After finishing speaking, he saluted Li Fei again:

"Please do it!"

For a proud man like him, it is actually not easy to say such words.

Just as Li Fei was about to nod, a voice suddenly came:
"It will take me longer to prepare. Why don't you help me first, Master Ning?"

Li Fei turned his head and saw a blue gauze dress.

Agile and flawless, it looks like a white crane falling from the sky and standing in the snow.

Li Fei also knew the person who came, the eldest daughter of the Lan family - Lan Ruoyun.

Lan Ruoyun walked towards this side.

With a smile on her face, she saluted Li Fei and said, "Greetings, Marquis Jing'an. I'm sorry to interrupt your duel."

Li Fei: "It doesn't matter. I haven't promised Brother Ning yet."

Ning Chuan frowned slightly and looked at Lan Ruoyun:

"What does Miss Lan mean?"

Lan Ruoyun bowed to him:
"Master Ning, Ruoyun benefited a lot from the previous battle with you. After losing to you, Ruoyun thought hard for a long time and felt unwilling to accept it. I want to fight you again!"

Previously, Ning Chuan took the initiative to find her and won the battle, thus directly entering the Fengyun overall list and ranking second, leaving Lan Ruoyun in third place.

Now Lan Ruoyun wants to compete again.

Ningchuan felt dissatisfied.

It's not that he didn't dare to compete with Lan Ruoyun, but he had been preparing for today's battle for a long time, and he really didn't want to use his carefully prepared moves and sword intent on others.

In his mind, apart from Li Fei, no one in Daoji was qualified to take on his next sword!
A sword intent suddenly burst out from Lan Ruoyun's body.

The sword intent is ethereal and unpredictable, like the white clouds in the sky or the flowing water on the ground, agile and free.

"Lan Yin Xu Guo?"

Li Fei immediately recalled the Taoist power that Lan Ruoyun had used on him.

That is the supreme skill of the Lan family, a Taoist power at the level of creation!
Judging from the sword intent that Lan Ruoyun displayed at this moment, the other party's mastery of [Lan Yin Xu Guo] has obviously become much stronger and has reached the Ruyi level.

In other words, Lan Ruoyun also cultivated the Dao power of the Ruyi level with the cultivation base of the Dao foundation period!
Sensing the sword intent, Ning Chuan's expression relaxed slightly.

He nodded to Lan Ruoyun: "Okay, let's compete again."

[Lan Yin Xu Guo], who is at the Ruyi level, is indeed qualified to receive his sword.

Soon, there were only two people left standing opposite each other on the long street.

Li Fei and Lu Wenxing both stood at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion watching the battle.

"Who do you think will win?"

Lu Wenxing used his strength to transmit his voice and asked curiously.

Li Fei also replied via voice transmission: "I can't guess either."

In his opinion, Ning Chuan and Lan Ruoyun are now at the pinnacle of the Dao Foundation Stage, no worse than Shen Tu Yue and Yan Dongchen who had not yet broken through.

The winner would depend on the on-the-spot performance of both sides, as well as the strength of their respective inheritance and foundation.

Ning Chuan possesses the legendary Taoist foundation [Wan Lei Siming], and is obviously stronger than Lan Ruoyun in Taoist foundation.

However, the [Lan Yin Xu Guo] that Lan Ruoyun possesses is the Dao power of the Creation level. Even if it can only exert the power of the Ruyi level at present, it is still stronger than the Ruyi level Dao power mastered by Ning Chuan.

So both of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the outcome is unknown.

"here we go."

Li Fei said suddenly.

Thunder and lightning suddenly burst out in the snow, followed by a howling wind that also brought thunder and lightning.

The snow melted into water, and thunder occurred in the water.

A sea of ​​fire enveloped the sky above the long street, and thunder was heard in the fire.

Thunder of earth, thunder of wind, thunder of water, thunder of fire!

【Wanlei Siming】, turns everything into thunder!

A world of thunder was created, covering the long street and trapping Lan Ruoyun inside it.

The pressure brought by the entire world was crushing towards Lan Ruoyun. She was like a solitary crane in the sky, soaring between heaven and earth, avoiding the thunder with an elegant posture.

But as the world of thunder continued to shrink, the space left for Lan Ruoyun to dodge became smaller and smaller.

In Lu Wenxing's eyes, he could only see the dazzling lightning and the blue figure flashing from time to time.

At a certain moment, the world of thunder was almost compressed to the extreme.

Ning Chuan drew his sword, and only a bright sword light remained between heaven and earth!

Lu Wenxing suddenly opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see clearly.

But Li Fei chose to close his eyes.

In his perception, Ning Chuan condensed the entire world of thunder on his sword!

This sword is both the heaven and earth condensed into a ray of thunder, and also a ray of thunder that creates a new sky.

All things in life.

All things are unified.

Ning Chuan's sword was almost reaching the Xuanjing level!
This is how confident he is in challenging Li Fei!
When the sword was about to hit Lan Ruoyun, the beautiful woman finally drew her sword.

Relying on the improvement brought by the heaven-worshipping ceremony, Ning Chuan cleansed his mind and connected with the gods, raising his mental power to the 'realm of connecting with the gods', thus cultivating the Taoist power of the Ruyi level.

Lan Ruoyun is actually not as good as him, and has not really broken through her Dao power to the Ruyi level. She can only reach the Ruyi level with the move [Lan Yin Xu Guo].

So she only relies on this one move to decide the outcome.

Cause and effect are reversed, heaven and earth are turned upside down!

Although Ning Chuan's sword was powerful, it had not yet surpassed the Ruyi level, so it was still affected by [Lan Yin Xu Guo].

Part of the power disappeared out of thin air and then magically transferred to Lan Ruoyun's sword.

The two men's swords clashed.

In an instant, the world was silent.

Suddenly, Li Fei opened his eyes suddenly.

Above the long street, two majestic auras rose into the sky almost at the same time, disturbing the clouds!

The snowflakes that were falling in the sky disappeared.

"Master Hou?!"

Lu Wenxing widened his eyes and turned to ask Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded, confirming his guess: "Breakthrough."

Ning Chuan and Lan Ruoyun found the opportunity to break through through this battle.

Both broke through!

A moment later, two more martial arts masters appeared in the world.

"This is really true."

Lu Wenxing looked at the two people who separated again and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lan Ruoyun is fine, after all, he is 29 years old. It is not so shocking that he becomes a martial arts master with the third combat power in the Fengyun ranking.

But Ningchuan is only 25 years old this year, and he will be 26 in half a year.

His breakthrough meant that he once again broke the historical record of martial arts practice!

First is the record of 26 years old left by Mingqi.

Then Shentu Yue pushed the record back more than a month.

Now it's Ningchuan's turn, breaking the record again and pushing Mingqi's record back half a year, leading Shentu Yue by nearly five months!
Lu Wenxing never thought that he would be able to witness the birth of a new first in history.

He suddenly had an idea and turned to look at Li Fei, observing the expression of this marquis.

But Li Fei began to applaud sincerely and said calmly:
"Congratulations, both of you."
