Sword Qi of the heavens

Chapter 398 Do you want to be king?
Because of Nanman's mother's dislike for worshiping the moon, she instinctively regarded Li Changlan, a stranger who suddenly appeared many years ago and had a high status in the worshiping moon, as an enemy.

However, the Moon Worship Sect is at its peak now.

The strength of Baiyue is unimaginable, and he can be regarded as the most powerful person in Nanzhao.

No matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn't dare to really tear herself apart with Baiyue.

Li Changlan stood there watching Anu being forcibly taken away by Nanman's mother, with a strange expression on his face.

Baiyue looked at Li Changlan, sighed and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault that made you misunderstood, brother."

Li Changlan waved his hand, acting very indifferently.

"Don't worry, I have been misunderstood like this many times in the past. It's nothing. After a long time, they will realize that these are all prejudices against me."

Wait until the month of worship and said a lot to the emperor of Nanzhao.

Baiyue was invited to participate in the banquet, and in the evening, he specially showed some magic skills in front of the ministers and subjects, which made the worshipers of the Moon Cult worship him even more.

Only then did Baiyue return to his room.

Of course, it is said to be a room for worshiping the moon.

Most of the time, it still served as the study room for Li Changlan and Baiyue.

Li Changlan looked at the bookshelves in the moon worship room, all kinds of lonely books, and some papers recording travel experiences and whimsical ideas, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

This moon worship is really a madman of science.

Don't say anything else.

A hole can be made on the roof to observe the astrology.

Even in the Central Plains, it is extremely rare to see.

Baiyue and Li Changlan have known each other for many years, they are considered good friends, they are not as polite as they were at the beginning, but there is a faint feeling that the friendship between gentlemen is as pale as water.

Even if the two are in the same room, they will not speak for a long time.

The two of them will not feel embarrassed, but it is very natural, and they even feel that this should be the case.

Baiyue was originally sitting on the floor reading a book, when he looked up at the starry night, he suddenly sighed, then stood up and frowned, looking closely at the sky.

"Hey, how did the stars in the sky change?"

Li Changlan came to Baiyue's side and also looked up.

"It seems to be a little different from the one we predicted a few years ago."

"Exactly." Baiyue nodded and said in a deep voice.

"The people under your command did it?" Li Changlan raised his finger and pointed to the door. He was bowing his head and waiting for the Moon Worshipers at the door.

"Brother Changlan is asking you something, what are you still doing?" Baiyue turned his head to look at the congregation at the door, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

The Moon Worshiper hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the two of them.

"Reporting to the leader, this subordinate originally wanted to surprise the returning leader."

"Surprise?" Baiyue looked at the believer and sighed, "I am very pleased that you are willing to take the initiative to share my worries."

"However, there is one thing you did wrong."

heard.

The believer suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

"The subordinate is incompetent, please forgive me, the leader!"

Baiyue shook her head, she didn't lose her temper as expected, but walked slowly to his side, helped him up, and said softly: "Please come back, the princess, what you need is patience, politeness, and timing. "

"If you blindly use violent means, many times it will only have the opposite effect."

"In the future, when you do things, you have to report to me or Brother Changlan first, and then act after getting permission. Don't make any claims."

Baiyue raised his hand and pushed the worshiper back.

Li Changlan saw that after worshiping the moon, he returned to look at the sky under the starlight, as if he didn't care whether Zhao Ling'er would return to Nanzhao Kingdom, and suddenly felt a little strange.

He looked at Baiyue and asked, "Aren't you going to bring Zhao Ling'er back?"

Baiyue smiled softly and said: "When I traveled the world with you, I learned a lot, one of which is that if it is really destined and the trajectory cannot be changed, then even if I do nothing, yes It doesn't pay attention, and what should happen happens."

"So, in my opinion, a lot of things just go with the flow."

"If I order someone to bring it back forcibly, it may not only be a waste of effort, but it may even push the matter to another future that no one knows."

Li Changlan listened to Baiyue's extremely philosophical words.

He looked up at the dome full of stars, and said, "Master, I thought you were a somewhat paranoid scientist, but I didn't expect you to be a very powerful thinker."

Baiyue once again learned from Li Changlan those terms that he had never heard before.

His eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "I know what a scientist is. You once told me that this is a group of people who pursue the truth. They are always on the road of exploration, and they are always ready to deny their own theories. .”

"But what is this thinker? Is it a powerful existence?"

Li Changlan saw Baiyue's strong desire broke out again, and asked him about things he didn't know.

Li Changlan explained: "A powerful thinker can easily control a country with words or personal theories without wearing a sword, and is admired and admired by all people."

"Don't use gold and iron as weapons, but use words and books as your most powerful ability."

"Although there is only one person, it is better than thousands of troops."

Baiyue nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this is exactly what I think. Force is not the only way to solve problems. Reasoning with people is the way I prefer to accept."

He looked at Li Changlan with a complicated expression.

After a while.

Bai Yue suddenly asked: "Brother Changlan, do you want to be king?"

Li Changlan was taken aback, and said, "King, what king?"

Baiyue said with a smile on his face: "Naturally, you are the king of Nanzhao. Of course, if you are only the king of Nanzhao, you are not satisfied. We can build Nanzhao together, develop the army, use our ideas to attack the Central Plains, let You become the real co-lord of the world."

Become the king of Nanzhao.

Then, counterattack the Central Plains and go to be the master of the world?
"I remember that I never said that I am interested in power." Li Changlan stared, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"Brother Changlan, I know that you have a calm and indifferent personality, and you don't care about the world, but the witch king of Nanzhao Kingdom is really not capable, nor does he have the breadth and magnanimity that a king should have. you."

While talking, Baiyue took out a box from the surrounding bookshelves.

He opened the box and took out a pair of glass wine glasses and a square object.

"You are right. Although we are pursuing the truth, those ordinary people are blind people. Not only will they not support us, but they will also classify us as monsters and try to obstruct us desperately."

"But if you become king, then everything will change."

Baiyue took out the wine glass from the box, and said to himself: "The wine glass that is so crystal clear, clearer than glass, is actually made of sand by the sea, if I tell it, who in the world will believe it? "

until now.

Baiyue will be shocked when he recalls the unimaginable knowledge taught by Li Changlan.

What made him appreciate Li Changlan even more.

Li Changlan and himself are fellow practitioners, and he already understands the meaning of these things better, but he is still willing to share the precious knowledge he has mastered with himself without reservation, and he does not expect anything in return.

Wouldn't it be in line with the great love he pursued?

Paused.

Baiyue held the cup and looked at Li Changlan.

"Different from others, even if I completely reproduce the production process of this pair of cups, those stupid people may still deny it."

"But even if I don't need to verify it, I will choose to believe it just by hearing what you say."

Li Changlan said unexpectedly: "You trust me that much?"

Baiyue smiled and said, "Of course I believe Brother Changlan's words, but on the other hand, I also firmly believe that science is the truth."

"So, you are more suitable to be a king than the Witch King."

Li Changlan looked at the agitated Baiyue with disgust on his face, and he regretted that in order to avoid Baiyue who was slowly seeking knowledge, he pestered him all day long and simply taught him some simple knowledge at will.

I thought that worshiping the moon would treat these as treasures and keep them secret.

Who knew that Baiyue was actually more and more eager for new knowledge after he figured out the truth of it.

Not only was the interest in the glass quickly lost, but the idea of ​​using the method to his own advantage was completely absent.

Under Li Changlan's gaze.

Bai Yue smiled slightly and came to Li Changlan.

"So that everyone in the world can become a person who understands reason and knows what science is."

"For you, and for us to better study science in the future, explore new truths, and prove that science and thought are the most powerful forces in the world."

"Brother Changlan, I hope you can become the new king of Nanzhao Kingdom."

Knowing that Baiyue is determined, he wants to push him to the top.

The corner of Li Changlan's mouth twitched slightly.

He suddenly felt that Bai Yue was really a villain!
Right!

Li Changlan coughed lightly, thinking about Bai Yue's care and attitude towards him in all aspects in the past ten years, he finally forcibly resisted the urge to kill this annoying guy in front of him with a sword.

"By the way, Master, don't you think that there is no true love in the world, and everyone is selfish and wants to purify the world?"

"Why don't I go out and take this opportunity to bring Zhao Linger back?"

Li Changlan forcibly changed the topic, trying to make Bai Yue stop entangled in this matter.

Baiyue shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "After getting acquainted with Brother Changlan, I feel that my understanding of the world is not comprehensive enough. Although the purification of the world is still going on, it is not in a hurry."

He put the things in his hand back into the box.

"To tell you the truth, I have researched many interesting spells and other objects based on what you taught me over the years."

"After you ascend the throne, we can..."

Don't wait for the moon worship to finish.

Li Changlan turned around quickly and walked outside the house.

"Tomorrow, I will leave Nanzhao Kingdom and travel alone in the Central Plains. If I meet Zhao Linger during the trip, I will find a way to bring it back for you."

"As for other things, let me talk about it later."

Bai Yue looked at Li Changlan's disappearing back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He let out a long sigh.

"What a kind man."

"I think he probably cared too much about the Witch King's thoughts, as well as my position, that's why he said that. He chose to leave Nanzhao Kingdom voluntarily."

"Oh, unfortunately, Brother Changlan still misunderstood me and underestimated my determination."

"As a person who pursues truth and science, how could I give up because of this little obstacle?"

Baiyue's eyes flickered slightly, and his body was a little more majestic.

"Don't worry, brother Changlan."

"When you return, the throne of Nanzhao Kingdom must be yours."

……

Fairy Island.

Li Changlan stood in a certain garden on the island, looking at the rather miserable scene around him, guessed in his heart that the believer under Baiyue was faster and arrived before him.

He had been walking casually on the island and was about to leave.

Who knew that a Moon Worshiper who was in charge of the surrounding realm suddenly saw Li Changlan.

"Elder Li? Why are you here?!"

Li Changlan also felt a little curious that this person recognized him.

It is true that he has stayed in Nanzhao Kingdom for ten years, but there are many believers in the Moon Worship Sect, and he usually does not attend any grand occasions. There are not many people who know him in the entire Moon Worship Sect.

A mere religious believer with a low status can actually know him.

No matter how you look at it, it feels very strange.

"You know me?" Li Changlan asked.

"Reporting to Elder Li, when you first came to our Nanzhao Kingdom, the person guarding the gate was a subordinate. At that time, I was responsible for notifying the leader." Speak out.

"I see." Li Changlan nodded, "Where is he? Has Zhao Linger been caught by you?"

"Not yet, but please rest assured, the elders. The rest of us have found the trace of the other party and are searching for it. It may not take long to catch him."

The Moon Worshiper followed behind Li Changlan.

Following the remaining battle traces along the way, after judging the direction of everyone's progress, they brought Li Changlan to a hall.

Inside the hall.

Several maids collapsed to the ground, obviously suffering serious injuries.

What surprised Li Changlan again was that.

These injured maids were actually dressed in good condition without any damage. They seemed to have suffered some internal injuries, and they were not directly killed by the unique sharp scimitar in the hands of the Luna Worshipers.

Just as Li Changlan was thinking about these things.

The Moon Worshiper hurriedly moved the most luxurious chair in the hall to please Li Changlan.

"Those of us who are subordinates can catch people, why bother Elder Li to come here in person?"

"It's okay, let's relax." Li Changlan looked around the hall, and found that Zhao Ling'er and an old woman were forced into a corner, and they were almost unable to hold on. young man.

"Huh? Li Xiaoyao?"

Li Changlan discovered that Li Xiaoyao, who was supposed to escape, had been stunned by the Moon Worshipers and seized his passport. He also immediately realized that the situation before him was different from what he knew, and it might be very different.

He raised his hand and pointed to the maids on the ground, and asked, "Why are they still alive?"

The believers of the Moon Worship Sect heard Li Changlan's question, and said repeatedly: "Reporting to Elder Li, it is like this. The leader once said in a certain ceremony many years ago that our believers of the Moon Worship Sect are symbols of truth and science. You can kill innocent people at will, and everyone has his due role."

Li Changlan nodded thoughtfully.

"Baiyue, this person, always grasps the size just right."

"A lot of things are not clearly stated. In fact, in many small details, he is showing kindness towards me, showing that he attaches great importance to me."

"From this point of view, my influence on worshiping the moon is greater than expected."

Li Changlan looked into the corner, because he needed to keep his hands, and one of the three had to wait by his side at any time, despite Li Changlan's errands, he was unable to take down Zhao Linger and his disciples for a long time.

He stood up and said, "Okay, step back."

Following Li Changlan's voice came out.

The two Moon Worshipers retracted their weapons without a pause, and came to stand behind Li Changlan obediently.

Li Changlan stepped forward slowly and came to Zhao Linger.

He lowered his head slightly, and looked at the beautiful, handsome, handsome woman in Tsing Yi, who was indeed different from the ordinary women of the human race.

"I didn't expect that after all these years, you are much prettier than your mother."

Zhao Ling'er thought that Li Changlan was with this group of villains of unknown origin, and she didn't want to show good looks at all, but when she heard Li Changlan mention the mother she missed day and night.

Zhao Ling'er still couldn't help asking: "Who are you? Why did you meet my mother?"

Li Changlan thought for a while, stretched out his hand to Zhao Linger, and said, "Actually, we met ten years ago in Nanzhao Kingdom, when you were a little girl and you were riding a golden-winged phoenix."

heard.

Zhao Linger was taken aback suddenly.

Golden Winged Phoenix?

ten years ago?
In my impression, there seem to be very few people who meet this condition.

Just when Zhao Linger was in a daze.

Zhao Linger's grandmother forced herself to stand up, protected Zhao Linger behind her, avoided Li Changlan's arm that was about to touch Zhao Linger's shoulder, and looked at Li Changlan vigilantly.

"Who are you and why did you come to Fairy Island?!"
