Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 717
In Lin Xi's eyes, there are still many secrets in this world.

It is not difficult to understand that people's minds launch miraculous skills and create some seemingly extraordinary existences.

As a heavenly demon, Lin Xi knows the magic of the soul best.

For ordinary people, this kind of invisible and intangible thing actually affects and interferes with all existing substances, even the existence in concepts.

However, what surprised Lin Xi was the uncertainty of the hazy extraordinary power that existed in this world.

You know, if it weren't for an absolutely demon-free world.

As long as there is an extraordinary shadow, even if it is the end of the law, the power of the human heart can be concentrated to create legends.

"I still need to meet the ancestor of steam first." Lin Xi decided on his next step.

Although the national policy was set by the previous Emperor Xia, this generation of Emperor Xia promoted it.

But when it is implemented, someone still needs to discover and invent related tools and foundations.

The ancestor of steam in Xia Kingdom was named Cai Yuan, who was originally a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry. When the emperor reformed the Ministry of Industry and raised the treatment and salary of craftsmen, there was a period of time when the skills of craftsmen exploded.

Many new tools and products have been discovered, and some ancient, lost technologies have been recovered.

And Cai Yuan...he responded to the call, and in a very coincidental situation, he invented the steam engine.

With the widespread application of steam engines, Cai Yuan's reputation is also getting better day by day.

Ten years ago, Cai Yuan was even almost named Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but at that time, overnight... Cai Yuan's son, daughter, granddaughter, and his wife who had been with him for many years all died tragically at the hands of thieves.

After Cai Yuan was disheartened, he withdrew from the imperial court and lived in a hut in Xiaoliu Mountain outside the capital, leading a hermit life.

"According to some of my speculations about this world, although Cai Yuan may not be able to obtain true extraordinary power, as long as he is willing, he can set off a steam frenzy and even cover the entire capital."

"A thief committed a crime in the capital and killed him all over the house. This kind of thing... ended up being endless. No matter how you think about it, it's strange. Why didn't he do anything? Did he not want to? Or couldn't?"

Lin Xi left the courtyard and asked his servants to drive to Xiaoliu Mountain.

Since his whereabouts could not be concealed, Lin Xi simply acted aboveboard.

Xiaoliu Mountain is not as desolate as imagined.

Qianshan is very lively.

There is a huge steam museum, which houses the first machines of various steam engine applications.

There is also the first steam forge made by Cai Yuan.

In Daxia, the first application of the steam engine was to forge steel.

And the back mountain is the forbidden area of ​​Xia Kingdom.

There are a large number of sergeant handles, and ordinary people cannot enter.

Obviously it was to keep a place clean for Cai Yuan.

As for whether there is any intention of house arrest or guarding, it is not known.

With Lin Xi's ability, he easily avoided the patrolling soldiers and went deep into Xiaoliu Mountain.

The depths of Xiaoliu Mountain are drier and more lonely than Lin Xi imagined.

A large number of trees died and became like coke.

There was a dry smell in the air, as if the moisture in the air had been sucked away by some force.

On the dry, sandy wasteland stood a simple stone house.

At the door of the house, an old man in shabby clothes was lying on a big cold rock panting for breath.

Half of his body has turned into the color of coke.

The body is constantly steaming with water vapor.

The little remaining moisture around him was wantonly volatilized around him.

The moment he saw this old man, Lin Xi understood.

"It turns out that Cai Yuan has half of his body, and he has stepped into the real extraordinary... the power of steam, and wants to blend into his body and become one with him."

"It's just that, after all, this world doesn't allow the emergence of true supernatural beings, so his fusion has fallen into a stalemate. Perhaps...it was himself who caused his entire family to be wiped out." Lin Xi was a little worried about the darkness that had passed by before him. , I feel a little sorry.

Then Lin Xi strode towards Cai Yuan, and peeked at his fate.

Even Cai Yuan, the ancestor of steam, is still an ordinary person.

He himself has not really been included in the ranks of extraordinary, so Lin Xi's miraculous skills are also unimpeded on him.

"Age and death, is this the fate of Cai Yuan?" Lin Xi was no longer surprised.

What's so surprising about this?

In those worlds without demons, there might even be some people who deserved to be sanctified, and finally turned into a cup of loess after decades of scribbling.

Some people like to magnify the importance of the will and the heart.

Lin Xi also thought so before.

However, if there is no basic rule as a fulcrum, no matter how strong the mind is, it will become fragile due to the decay of the body.

gone With the Wind.

"So how does a real saint solve this problem?"

"If you don't solve this problem, wouldn't you be banned into the land of no magic, and you will..."

"No! No, the saint's incarnation is infinite, and will not be limited to a fixed, unique area and space...even time. But...what if?"

"Assuming such a possibility exists, how would the sage deal with it?" Lin Xi felt at this moment that he had vaguely touched a certain key.

But this is the key point, which can never be penetrated.

At this time, Cai Yuan seemed to be just an ordinary old man who was dying.

It wasn't until Lin Xi came to his side that he discovered Lin Xi.

What is hidden in the cloudy eyes is the loneliness of half a lifetime.

He glanced at Lin Xi indifferently, and then ignored him.

He didn't wonder how Lin Xi got here through many obstacles.

He didn't care whether Lin Xi came here to harm him.

His life has been extremely painful.

Perhaps death is a very good choice.

"Did you see it?"

"The door that is blocked in your body." Lin Xi asked Cai Yuan.

Cai Yuan didn't answer Lin Xi, and it seemed that he didn't understand at all.

But Lin Xi continued on his own: "You saw it...so you wanted to open it, but you were too reckless, you underestimated the thickness of that door, and overestimated your own accumulation, so you caused Irreparably wrong, and self-imposed exile."

Cai Yuan finally looked at Lin Xi, his face was half scorched and half old, showing an obviously sarcastic expression.

"Who are you?"

"A self-righteous madman?"

"Over the years, there are not a few people who think they can get something from this old man... You are not the first one, but none of them ended well. Maybe you can try to find the answer from me." Cai Yuan obviously Want to provoke Lin Xi, or stimulate him to do something.

Lin Xi shook his head.

"You didn't cross it, but you merged with it again, and now you can be it. Or you're old, and you'll die of old age sooner or later, but now... anyone who touches you will be revenged by a steam explosion. This It's not an instinct you can control." Lin Xi said.

　The domestic puppy left this afternoon. A very obedient and smart puppy named Mumu came here once.Good night... Mumu!
