The stone walls may once have been solid and smooth, but now they are covered with moss and have mottled textures from time.
Of course, there are also all kinds of weird sword marks.
Most of the stone walls have collapsed.
It's collapsing from the outside in.
Lin Beichen walked along the gap in the stone wall and came to the courtyard.
The scale of the Sword Formation Research Institute is not smaller than that of the Sword Immortal Academy, but it feels very crowded because there are collapsed stone pillars, stone walls, stone houses and messy weeds everywhere.
If it weren't for the [Baidu Navigation] prompt and there were no errors, Lin Beichen would really have thought that he had arrived at a garbage dump and not the Sword Formation Research Institute, one of the seven buildings in Baiyun City.
Although Yin Shan, the beautiful young master uncle, had said before that the Sword Formation Research Institute was in decline, but who would have thought that it could be in such a state of decline
"Who are you looking for?"
A slightly childish voice came.
Lin Beichen turned around and looked.
A little girl wearing tattered linen clothes stood under the low wall in the distance. Her thick and shiny black hair was spread out. In the gap between her long bangs, you could see a pair of big black and white eyes like gems, and a pair of big eyes. Zhang has a little apple face that shows a little baby fat.
The little girl looked to be about eight or nine years old.
The clothes are very sloppy.
But he is not a beggar.
Because she was not malnourished due to starvation, but was chubby and cute.
"I'm looking for Uncle Wang Qigong."
Lin Beichen said.
"Do you have anything delicious?"
The little girl's big black eyes sparkled with a cunning light.
Lin Beichen thought for a while, took out a piece of [Dove], handed it over and said, "Try it, you must have never eaten it before."
With bright eyes, the little girl tore open the outer plastic skin and took a bite. She was startled for a moment, then her big eyes narrowed like a smiling moon, and she let out a vague exclamation, "It's delicious. Why are you looking for grandpa? My name is Yue Ya'er, let's go, I'll take you to see grandpa."
A little girl who is easy to bribe.
A small piece of chocolate betrayed both myself and my grandfather.
Bypassing the winding weeds, we arrived at the backyard.
There is finally some fireworks in the backyard.
A half-collapsed hall appeared behind the courtyard.
Judging from the outline and traces, this hall is not small in scale. It must have been a landmark building of the Sword Formation Research Institute, and it is definitely not inferior to the "Sword Immortal Hall" of the Sword Immortal Academy. However, now it has fallen into disrepair and has suffered. Some kind of explosion damage caused it to collapse beyond repair.
"Grandpa, grandpa... there is a handsome, handsome, generous and lovely big brother who is looking for you."
Yue Ya'er jumped like a little rabbit and rushed outside the half-collapsed hall. She gathered her hands in the shape of a trumpet near her mouth and shouted loudly.
Lin Beichen: "..."
Okay, with just one piece of [Dove], I got the horoscope of handsome, handsome, generous, and cute.
Children are so real.
"not see."
A manic-sounding voice floated out of the hall: "Let him go."
Lin Beichen: "..."
No wonder the old monster, who is called the Sword Formation Research Institute, became obsessed with studying sword formations and even became a demon. He did not care for secular things and did not teach his disciples. As a result, the Sword Formation Research Institute, which was originally a lively place, turned into the ruins it is today. appearance.
Studying the sword formation went crazy.
"Brother, give me a piece of that delicacy just now, and I'll go in and help you carry grandpa out."
Yue Yaer turned around and started bargaining with Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen smiled and threw another piece of chocolate.
"You wait."
The little girl patted her chest and said, "I, Yue Yaer, collect money and do things, I am absolutely reliable."
As he spoke, he jumped into the collapsed hall like a little rabbit.
After a while.
"Oh, little bastard, let go of grandpa..."
The irritable voice from before sounded, looking frightened and angry, and said: "Stop pulling it out, you've almost pulled out my grandpa's beard."
Then he saw Yue Yaer holding one hand on his waist and pulling the beard of an old man with a white beard with the other, as if pulling a stubborn donkey, and pulled him out of the collapsed hall door.
Lin Beichen: "..."
She is really a good granddaughter of grandpa.
The white-bearded old man screamed strangely, and was finally brought to Lin Beichen.
"mission accomplished."
Yue Ya'er clapped her palms happily, ran to the side and continued to nibble on the remaining chocolate.
Lin Beichen looked Wang Qigong up and down.
This old man looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old. He was tall and thin, with white hair, eyebrows and beard. He had a red nose, but his complexion was rosy and his complexion looked very good. However, his eyes were slightly squinted, giving him the appearance of being short-sighted.
"Who are you?"
Wang Qigong seemed very impatient and said, "What are you doing to me? Say it quickly and get out of here."
Lin Beichen looked the old man up and down, then suddenly sighed and said, "Sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After actually meeting this old scholar who was slacking off to study sword formations, Lin Beichen immediately realized that he had most likely found the wrong person.
Because Wang Qigong's cultivation level is very low.
He is almost at the level of a great martial artist.
He is still far from being a martial arts master.
Not to mention a half-step heavenly being.
Even if he uses the best medicine, various magic-modified health products and green fruits, it is impossible for this old scholar to return to the realm of a half-step heavenly being in just half a day.
Who would have thought that this old madman could dissipate his energy so thoroughly.
"Alas, don't leave."
Wang Qigong, an old scholar who originally ignored Lin Beichen, suddenly grabbed Lin Beichen's arm and refused to let him go: "What do you mean, dig me out of here and leave without saying a word? No, I prefer." I won’t let you go.”
Lin Beichen: "..."
This feeling is a bitch.
"Originally, I wanted to ask senior for help. But after meeting me, I realized that senior couldn't help me with this."
Lin Beichen told the truth.
After saying that, he was anxious to leave.
After all, there are less than five hours left to complete the accidental acceleration task of KEEP software.
He must seize the time and rush back to find a way. Completing the task and improving his strength is the first priority.
"Leave it to me."
Wang Qigong was dissatisfied and snapped his fingers.
Snapped.
A flying sword suddenly flew up from under a pile of broken tiles on the side
, as fast as lightning, shot towards Lin Beichen.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Lin Beichen flicked his finger.
The flying sword flew back and fell into the pile of tiles.
"Huh?"
Wang Qigong was startled, then laughed and said, "The little guy is pretty good."
The words fell.
Snap, snap, snap.
He snapped his fingers three times.
Three more flying swords flew out from behind the tree, from the water tank, and from under the stove, and shot at Lin Beichen.
"Senior, I have something important to do, so I can't waste time... I'm offended."
Lin Beichen said, also clicking his fingers.
Ding ding ding.
The three flying swords were bounced upside down in mid-air.
But this time, it was Lin Beichen's turn to let out a low cry of surprise.
"Huh?"
He found that the long sword that had been deflected by him had flown upside down less than ten meters, paused in the air, and then flew back again.
Um
Is this sword control
Or is it the ability to control metals from the metal mysterious energy
Lin Beichen looked at Wang Qigong in great surprise.
If it was the latter, it was the first time since Lin Beichen came to this world that he had seen a warrior who could produce some special powers like himself after awakening the mysterious energy.
Moreover, the power contained in these three flying swords,
Comparable to a great martial arts master.
Far beyond the power that Wang Qigong, an eighth-level martial artist, should possess.
"Be careful, you..."
Yue Ya'er in the distance saw Lin Beichen not avoiding or parrying the flying sword, and reminded him loudly.
But her words stopped abruptly in the next moment.
Because the three flying swords suddenly stopped without warning when they were about half a meter away from Lin Beichen, like snails trapped in an air swamp, unable to move an inch.
"Huh?"
The third exclamation came from Wang Qigong's mouth.
The old man rubbed his eyes, looked at Lin Beichen, and said: "Little guy, there is no fluctuation of profound energy. It is not controlled by ingesting profound energy. How did you... do it? Let the flying sword freeze in the air."
Lin Beichen said curiously: "Why don't you tell me first, how do you control this flying sword? With your level of cultivation at the great martial arts master level, it is impossible for the flying sword to have such lethality."
"Little guy, you really have some wisdom, you can see the key point at a glance."
Wang Qigong, who had white hair and white beard, said: "Hahaha, you are the first person to see the power of my sword array after it was first formed. Well, it seems that you have the cultivation level of the heaven and human realm, not bad Not bad, come on, have a good experience, don’t worry, I’m going to be very gentle and won’t hurt you.”
The words have not yet finished.
From the gravel nearby, from broken bowls, dry wells, water tanks, grass, ponds, tree crowns, wall holes, wall cracks, water ladles, clothes hangers, door... and so on. In this place, hundreds of flying swords of various sizes and strange shapes flew out of the air.
Lin Beichen's expression changed.
At this moment, he actually felt a heavy pressure.
Sword array
He suddenly became curious.

Goodnight everybody
