Creating a Sandbox World

The rain came extremely suddenly, without any warning, and there was not even a single dark cloud in the sky.

After all, the watering can can't be too accurate, plus the offset caused by the mid-air wind, so, in fact, the heavy rain covered not only Tao County, but also the surrounding areas.

"Click, click..."

There were few bean-sized raindrops at first, but in just a few breaths, they became one piece, moistening large areas of fields, mountains and rivers, and cities.

In the city and on the streets, people ran to the nearest buildings to avoid the rain, with expressions of astonishment and joy.

"Wow—"

The heavy rain poured down from under the dark eaves, and there was almost a burst of "smoke" in the courtyard.

A gust of cold wind blew into the lobby. Except for Lin Tuo, everyone else ran to the eaves in disbelief, stretched out their hands, and let the rain wet their clothes.

After a long while, the magistrate of Tao County suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Tuo with an extremely complicated expression. He seemed to have thought of something, but after hesitating for a while, he just bowed deeply and said:

"On behalf of the people of Tao County, I would like to thank you for your great kindness! I can't repay you. Please rest at the mansion for a while, and wait for the county to arrange for someone to prepare a small gift..."

"Then there's no need." Lin Tuo shook his head, interrupted his words, and changed the topic, "However, I do have a heartfelt request."

"Speaking."

Lin Tuo stood up, looked through the heavy rain in the courtyard, looked at a hill in the south, and said:

"When I came, I saw a closed and abandoned academy on that mountain. I wanted to stay for a few days. I don't know if the county lord can agree."

Academy?

The magistrate of Tao County was stunned for a moment, this was completely beyond his expectation, and couldn't help but said: "Of course, but... may I ask, why did you like it?"

Lin Tuo glanced at him and said, "I'm going to open a lecture hall, wait for some people, and then give some lectures."

"Teaching? Waiting for someone?" The county magistrate looked bewildered, feeling that the young man in front of him was full of mystery, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

Lin Tuo smiled and pointed in the direction of Kyoto, "They're already on their way."

...

...

After demonstrating the miraculous method of "praying for rain", Lin Tuo's request was naturally satisfied without any discount.

After the rain stopped, Lin Tuo rejected the invitation of the county magistrate, followed the officials, and came to live in the deserted academy on Nanshan.

After sending these people away and confirming that there was no one around, he was relieved.

"I hope that I will not waste my efforts this time."

Lin Tuo deliberately ran to Tao County to rain, just to spread his reputation.

"If there are no accidents, the county magistrate of Tao County should have realized that my identity is abnormal... At least, I will also have an association.

After all, the news from the capital that the saint had just arrived in the southeast, presumably, he should have sent someone to report to the capital by this time. "

"According to my previous observations, Emperor Chi left the capital a few days ago and came to the southeast. He will probably meet him on the way."

"A person who can command the wind and rain should be able to attract their attention?"

Switch consciousness back to ontology.

Lin Tuo sat in the renovated study room, looking at the slanting tree shadows on the martial arts arena, and said to himself:

"It's still not safe. It's better to toss out some visions. Anyway, no one has seen a saint. If you want to toss, let's toss a big one."

After making a decision in his mind, Lin Tuo probably had a plan.

...

...

"Have you heard?"

"what?"

"In the academy in Nanshan, a Mr. Lin lived in. He was the one who invited the heavy rain before."

"Really or not? No wonder, I said, how come there is so much rain on a sunny day? Is that Mr. Lin an expert in Shintoism?"

"I don't know...but,

It should be, otherwise how can there be such a big mana? "

After a new rain, there were more discussions about Lin Tuo in the teahouses and restaurants in Tao County.

In a small place, news always travels faster.

Of course, there are no masters in Chi Country who know magic, but this does not stop people from fantasizing.

It's just that all the discussions avoided the option of "sage".

This identity is too great, even if the people of Tao County have exhausted their imagination, they can only fantasize about Lin Tuo as a master of the divine way who knows magic.

But he didn't dare to think at all, what would that have to do with the legendary saint.

This discussion continued until the sun went down, and endless darkness spread from the sky.

In the county government.

The magistrate of Tao County also ordered people to pick up the lamps and prepare to light the candles.

However, at this moment, suddenly, he heard exclamations from outside the courtyard.

"What's the noise outside?" He couldn't help but asked.

Immediately, a louder noise was heard outside.

"My lord, come and take a look!" Some officials in the yamen shouted.

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, had no choice but to put down the official documents, hurried through the courtyard, pushed open the gate facing the street, and saw many people standing on the dark street, looking into the distance and pointing.

He suddenly raised his head, and immediately, he saw in astonishment that a huge beam of light appeared in the clouds above Nanshan Mountain.

As if thrown from the sky, it penetrates the sky and the earth, illuminating the entire mountain.

In the dark sky, it is extremely eye-catching.

Like a miracle.

"Could this...could it be...related to that Mr. Lin?" Witnessing this abnormal celestial phenomenon, the county lord was stunned at first, and then couldn't help having a thought.

Grabbing the subordinate who was watching the excitement at the door, he confirmed and said: "Have the people sent to Kyoto set off?"

"Already set off."

"That's good... that's good..." The magistrate of Tao County looked at the strange celestial phenomenon that pierced the sky and muttered to himself, with a look of worrying about gains and losses.

The subordinate next to him was puzzled for a while, then swallowed, and couldn't help asking in a low voice:

"My lord, do you think this Mr. Lin is really..."

The county magistrate's eyes widened, and he also lowered his voice, but said very seriously: "A vision from the sky, I'm afraid...he really is!"

saint!

Could it be that the sage His Majesty is looking for, as mentioned in the Kyoto decree, really came to Tao County?

What an honor is this?

The county magistrate's mood was agitated, his face was full of blood, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, returned to the house, took out his official badge, and hurriedly ordered to his subordinates:

"That's right! You immediately take everyone with you, rush to Nanshan, block the road, and don't let the idlers disturb the gentleman's rest! Go!"

"Ah? Yes!"

...

...

Lishan Martial Arts, in the study.

Lin Tuo stood beside the sand table, with his right hand poked into the isolation cover, holding a flashlight, and shining it straight on Nanshan.

Well, the brightness is adjusted to the lowest level, but it is already eye-catching enough.

"In this case... no matter how dull a person is, he should be able to know that something is wrong with me, right?"

Lin Tuo thought silently, then turned his eyes to the direction of Kyoto, and found the location of Emperor Chi and his party.

It's not hard to find.

Visual inspection, coupled with frequent visits to various areas with clones to listen to the situation, he had already locked the position very early.

"According to this distance, if everything goes well, the team from Kyoto should be able to reach Tao County tomorrow at the earliest and the day after tomorrow at the latest."

After estimating the time, Lin Tuo nodded in satisfaction.

This rhythm is still in line with his expectations.

The only problem is...

"Uh, I should have known about ordering a shelf online. I've been holding the flashlight in my hand, so tired..."

...

...

In view of being too tired, Lin Tuo did not turn on the lights for too long after all.

But for the people of Tao County, this was shocking enough.

Even after the "celestial phenomenon" dissipated, it remained the same.

"Have you heard?"

"You mean last night on the Nanshan Mountain, there was a vision on that day?"

"It is said that the police officers in the county stayed up all night and guarded all the intersections leading to Nanshan, saying that no one is allowed to go."

"You said... what happened?"

"I'm afraid it has something to do with that Mr. Lin. He was fine in the past. He had such a vision the night he lived in Nanshan Academy. I'm afraid it's..."

"what?"

"You said... Could he be the saint that His Majesty the Emperor is looking for as rumored in Beijing?"

"hiss……"

Similar discussions gradually spread and spread throughout the small town.

It lasted until the evening before it stopped with the rising smoke.

That night, in Nanshan, Tao County, the vision reappeared, and I don't know if it was an illusion. The people of Tao County always felt that... the vision tonight was more stable and longer than last night.

...

Lin Tuo didn't care about these discussions, but was happy to see their success.

It is enough to put the avatar in Nanshan Academy and switch occasionally.

When another morning came, the red and warm light illuminated this remote city, and an army with bright armor and no anger and majesty rushed into the county seat.

"Where is the head of Tao County?"

When the county lord, who hadn't slept all night, saw the large army appearing outside the door, the flying banners, and heard the shout and question from the commander of the Royal Forest Army.

The skinny middle-aged man shivered violently, then straightened his waist, and responded with a trembling sound.

Then……

The whole Tao County is boiling.

...

On the morning of the third day after Lin Tuo arrived in Tao County, the whole city was under martial law. Emperor Dachi led his entourage, military horses, and marched through the streets of this small town. After a short pause, he headed towards Nanshan.

...

at the same time.

In Lishan Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Tuo, who had already known about Emperor Chi's arrival through the sand table, silently stuffed the last steamed bun on the table into his mouth.

Then he took another sip of soy milk, wiped the corners of his mouth, and threw the takeaway package into the trash can.

Then I sat in front of the computer and confirmed the documents that had been sorted out.

Only then did he hiccup lightly, and said, "Switch."

...

Nanshan Academy.

In an elegant and simple house, Lin Tuo, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, touched his slightly swollen stomach, and couldn't help muttering: "I'm full..."

Immediately, I heard the sound of horns coming from the foot of the mountain, listen carefully, and the noise of chariots and horses.

Then, I saw several black shadows in armor flying up the mountain path, standing still outside the dilapidated wall of the academy, saying:

"When the Emperor of Chaos arrives, I don't know the courtyard, but Mr. Lin?"

Lin Tuo, who had been prepared for a long time, had no intention of slowly probing with this group of people, and immediately pushed the door out, and then said lightly under the astonished eyes of several imperial guard officers:

"I already know what you are waiting for."

"Please inform Your Majesty, there are one hundred and twenty talented people, I will open a forum here, and give the world what I have learned all my life."
