-677- Hug Extra Hard (2-In-1)
Su Zhe returned to China as promised and walked on this land again, feeling as if he was in another world.
The time spent on the other side of the ocean was not long.
Only about ten days.
However, during these times, he experienced many things.
He circled between various destinations non-stop, and finally returned home victorious.
"Director Dai, I still want to thank you for what happened this time!"
As soon as Su Zhe got off the plane, he saw Dai Yi who came to pick him up.
He walked forward and said warmly.
"It's all small things, just trying my best."
Dai Yi smiled gently.
Immediately afterwards, his expression softened a lot.
“One thing…do you have time?
If you have time, come with me to meet my master.
He wants to see you. "
"Mr. Yuan wants to see me?...What's the matter?"
Su Zhe was stunned.
"He didn't tell me."
Dai Yi's expression became a little heavy.
"But you know, the previous battle over Kyoto not only bruised the dragon's veins, but also made his body deteriorate.
Recently, I even suffered from a cough and would cough up blood..."
"Is it that serious?"
Su Zhe's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Yes."
Dai Yi sighed, "The Kingdom of China is not peaceful now. The fall of Kyoto and Binhai and the official Extraordinary Security Bureau have lost too many people.
Coupled with the severe hit to the economy, life is not easy for ordinary people.
If it happens again later, the situation will only be worse. "
Su Zhe patted Dai Yi on the shoulder.
“Relax, everything will work out.
Difficulties are only temporary. "
Dai Yi smiled bitterly: "I hope so."
Lin Shiqing stood aside and said nothing.
There was a complicated arc in her eyes.
Dai Yi drove and took the two of them to the national capital in the center of Kyoto.
After the catastrophe more than a year ago, the entire Kyoto began a long period of repairs.
Fortunately, China has a vast territory and rich resources.
Although the economy suffered two consecutive severe losses, the losses were countless.
There are still funds to repair the damaged buildings.
The national government is the core of the entire Chinese nation.
Naturally, the most meticulous repairs were carried out at the first time.
However, the National Palace is an ancient building that has been well preserved over the long years.
No matter how advanced modern craftsmanship is, it is difficult to recreate the charm of ancient palaces.
Not to mention those wall buildings that have withstood the wind and frost of the years and have the imprint of time on their outer skin.
However, from the appearance point of view, at a glance, there is not much difference from before.
After entering the palace, he turned to the corner, Yuan Daoren's attic.
It is hard to imagine that the residence of a great master of a country could be so simple.
Outside the attic, there are only simple flowers and plants.
The decoration inside is also very ordinary, there is not even a floor, it is still the most primitive lime floor.
Su Zhe walked through the path in front of the attic and walked in.
Dai Yi and Lin Shiqing also walked beside him.
"Ahem!"
Rough coughing sounds came and went, and through the sounds, Su Zhe seemed to have seen the old man with a face full of pain.
Crunch——
Su Zhe opened the door.
Next to the hall is the bedroom.
There was a figure lying on the wooden bed.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Yuan Daoren quickly looked towards the door.
"Su Xiaoyou, you are here..."
As he spoke, Yuan Daoren struggled to sit up from the bed.
He stood up with some difficulty and finally leaned on the head of the bed.
"Mr. Yuan, has your condition not improved yet?"
Su Zhe sat beside the bed and straightened Yuan Daoren's body.
Yuan Daoren sighed softly when he heard this.
"My energy has long been integrated with the dragon's veins.
The dragon's veins were declining, and I was also affected, making it difficult to recover from a long-term illness. "
"Dragon Vein, have you reached this point?"
Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh.
"It's sad to say that I predicted that it would take another hundred years before the Kingdom of China would come to an end.
Now it seems that it may not be that long. "
Su Zhe's expression was slightly stern. He was very interested in Yuan Daoren's great prophecy.
"Mr. Yuan, is your great prophecy accurate in predicting that Western demigods will not arrive until a hundred years from now?"
Yuan Daoren shook his head.
"No, actually I can only lift a corner of the door to the future through great prophecy.
The greater the cause and effect involved, the less picture can be seen.
I used the great prophecy technique to predict the future, and I only saw some vague Western demigods appearing in the sky above China.
As for the specific time...I don't know. "
"Then why did you release the news that there would be that catastrophe a hundred years later?"
Su Zhe asked puzzledly.
“That’s because I don’t want the entire China to fall into boundless panic.
I deliberately said a long time ago... I thought it would be a relatively long time.
Who would have expected that the result would be so dismal. "
Yuan Daoren's voice became increasingly depressed.
Lin Shiqing and Dai Yi both stood aside.
All faces became serious.
Bang! boom!
The ground suddenly shook.
Su Zhe looked around in shock. The wooden bed frame and the entire attic were shaking.
The shock was obvious.
"Earthquake?"
Yuan Daoren waved his hand: "It's not an earthquake, it's dragon cough."
"Long Ke?" Su Zhe's eyes narrowed.
This word is so familiar...
"After the dragon veins are injured, the Five-clawed Ancestral Dragon sometimes coughs, which leads to this kind of shaking feeling."
“No wonder when I came, I saw no one on the surrounding streets.
It must also be caused by the Dragon Cough earthquake, right?
The surrounding residential areas are all gone. "
Yuan Daoren nodded: "That's true...but now the dragon's cough is not serious and will not cause the collapse of the surrounding buildings."
“But for ordinary people, they can’t afford to gamble.
Even a slight earthquake will frighten them and make them alarmed, worrying that one day a serious earthquake will come. "
"really."
Yuan Daoren lowered his head, "A battle of this level will have the greatest impact on ordinary people.
The prosperous days seem to be gone forever. "
Dai Yi sighed heavily on the side.
"From last year to this year, the total domestic GDP dropped by 56%, almost back to the level of ten years ago."
"I have been thinking about this matter, and now I have thought of a way."
Yuan Daoren looked at Su Zhe, "I plan to move the capital to Jinling.
This matter has been discussed with some senior officials, and the results of the discussion are expected to be available soon. "
"Does this mean we have to give up Kyoto?"
Su Zhe frowned slightly, "I think we haven't reached that point yet, right?"
“Now the country urgently needs an economic center to maintain stable development.
Moving the capital to Jinling is of great significance.
In ancient times, Jinling served as the capital many times, and it is now a more suitable place to move the capital. "
Yuan Daoren said slowly, "In addition, moving the capital does not mean giving up Kyoto. I will stay here to live and die with Zulong and recuperate."
Su Zhe pondered for a moment.
"Mr. Yuan, I may have a way to alleviate the current decline of Dragon Vein.
I have already obtained the Divine Stone of Life. The effect of the Divine Stone is to heal all things. I think it should also be helpful to the dragon veins. "
Mr. Yuan's eyes lit up.
"Yeah?
You can really try it... Su Xiaoyou, although you are a junior, you can do many things that even an old man can't compare to.
If the dragon veins can be healed, I would like to pass on the dragon veins to you. "
Dai Yiting, who was standing aside, showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
After all, he is Yuan Daoren's only disciple.
The identity of the heir to the dragon vein belongs to him anyway.
However, now Su Zhe is here.
He probably isn't qualified... However, the treasure should indeed be given to more capable hands.
He has no complaints.
"Yes, Su Zhe, if you inherit the dragon vein, you will definitely become a top demigod.
When the time comes, it should be much easier to fight against the Western demigods. "
After hearing what Dai Yi and Yuan Daoren said, Su Zhe finally shook his head.
“I don’t plan to fuse the dragon veins for the time being.
First, Mr. Yuan is still alive. If he inherits, it will be at the expense of Mr. Yuan's life.
Secondly, the situation of Dragon Vein is very unstable. If it gets worse by then, it might drag me down, making me even less able to protect this land.
Overall, it's not a good time right now, so let's wait. "
Su Zhe really likes the scene where dragons are surrounding him, and he is so handsome.
However, there were too many disadvantages, so he decided to refuse.
"You're right."
Yuan Daoren nodded.
"Okay, since you want to try to heal the dragon veins, then go to the underground Ancestral Dragon Altar!"
As he spoke, Yuan Daoren wanted to get up.
When Su Zhe saw this, he immediately helped him.
The latter also stood up unsteadily, looking like an old man in his dying years.
It looks quite sad.
After jumping down from the well next to the attic, within a moment, the four of them arrived at the Ancestral Dragon Altar, which was 10,000 meters underground.
"The golden light is much dimmer..."
Su Zhe said subconsciously.
It is not as bright as when we first saw it, like a candle burning to the end.
Walking past the long table displaying countless imperial tablets, and stepping through the old wooden door.
Su Zhe came to the Ancestral Dragon Altar.
On the altar.
The five-clawed ancestral dragon curled up in a ball, with many dim golden lights on its body, like scars.
"Ahem..."
The dragon's cough was deafening, and the entire underground space began to tremble.
Debris fell and dust filled the air.
"Xiaoqing, take action."
Su Zhe turned sideways and looked at Lin Shiqing.
"good."
Lin Shiqing nodded.
Lin Shiqing took a step forward and stood in front of the three of them.
She stretched out her hand, opened her palm, and pointed at Zulong Xuying.
A touch of green, containing infinite vitality, bloomed in the palm of her hand.
Just feeling some of the aftermath, Yuan Daoren felt that his body was much more active.
The weak legs also burst out with strength.
The green energy finally fell on the shadow.
Phew!
The dragon's roar stirred up air waves, and above the shadow of the ancestral dragon directly above the altar, the dim golden light was glowing with life.
affected by it.
Yuan Daoren felt a force gradually welling up deep in his body.
My waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer weak, and my back is no longer hunched.
All in all, I feel comfortable everywhere.
One stick of incense, fifteen minutes.
Lin Shiqing retracted her palm and backed away somewhat helplessly.
Su Zhe quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Shiqing.
Otherwise, Lin Shiqing would fall directly to the ground with the back of her head on the ground.
"It's almost time. My divine power is exhausted."
Lin Shiqing's face was a little pale.
The divine stone requires divine power to be driven. If the divine power is exhausted, it will be unable to be driven again.
The ancestral dragon on the altar has recovered a lot.
This can be seen from Yuan Daoren's energetic face.
"Mr. Yuan, let me take my wife back to rest first."
Su Zhe and Yuan Daoren resigned.
"Okay, Su Xiaoyou, I really want to thank you for what happened this time.
Without this life extension, I am afraid that the decline of Dragon Vein is inevitable.
only..."
Yuan Daoren looked a little hesitant.
"Mr. Yuan, if you want to say anything, just say it."
Su Zhe smiled faintly.
“This time, I’m afraid it’s not enough.
Zulong's scars have not been completely healed, and it should take several more treatments before he has a chance to recover as before.
But if this hurts your wife..."
"It doesn't matter, it's just divine power, it can be cultivated automatically."
Lin Shiqing softened in Su Zhe's arms and said warmly.
"Let's do this. After I fully recover my powers, I will do it again."
"Xiaoqing, don't force yourself."
Su Zhe couldn't help but say.
He is also a demigod and knows what it feels like to have depleted divine power.
That feeling is extremely weak, and the body will become extremely heavy.
To be honest, he didn't want Lin Shiqing to suffer too much pain.
"It doesn't matter, this is related to the future of China, and this is what I should do.
Otherwise, I'll give you the sacred stone. "
"...No, you should keep it.
I won't take away the sacred stone. "
Su Zhe shook his head.
He clearly understood that Lin Shiqing's second life would be gone if the divine stone was given to him.
Once the divine stone is fused, it cannot be discarded directly unless another demigod is found to take over.
This is also something that makes him feel more at ease.
Lin Shiqing will not abandon the sacred stone. The only other demigod around her is his servant, Tina.
There is simply no room for maneuver.
"Okay, let me take you back."
Su Zhe gently bent down and hugged Lin Shiqing's legs.
Put the latter's hand behind his neck.
"Hold tight, I'm leaving."
Waved and said goodbye to Yuan Daoren and Dai Yi.
Su Zhe turned around, passed through the wooden door, and flew into the shaft.
This time, he had a feeling.
Lin Shiqing hugged him very hard.
...
Return to the Lin clan through the teleportation array in Chaoge Mountain.
At this time, every clan member in the clan was in a hurry.
Their responsibilities today are much heavier than in peacetime.
Work is still underway to dig an underground shelter.
After the fall of the two major cities of Kyoto and Binhai, the Kingdom of China is now experiencing severe inflation.
One hundred yuan today is not even as good as fifty yuan in the past.
The price of a pound of pork has climbed to 40 yuan, making it difficult for ordinary people to afford it.
It is precisely because of this that the Lin clan's capital chain has been greatly impacted.
The herbal medicine group in Silver Moon Town also laid off most of its employees.
Many members of the Lin family, except for the elderly, disabled women and children, have gone to the depths of Silver Moon Mountain to help with the underground excavation work.
Thanks to the Blood Spirit Fruit brought back by Su Zhe.
Now the strength of the entire Lin clan has jumped to the level of a third-level clan.
Even close to the fourth-level family.
Many clan members have now become barons.
The clan leader, Lin Muyuan, has become a marquis and is much more powerful than before.
When digging underground, the blood energy of the Vampires can bring great convenience.
Blood energy can come in handy to break through some hard rocks that are difficult for machines to penetrate.
