In the lush forest, an old man in black robe sat cross-legged on an ancient cross-shaped altar. ⊙,
The altar is surrounded by a large number of green vine branches, crisp birdsong and insect sounds linger around, and fine sunlight is falling from above.
The old man remained motionless, his eyes closed tightly as if he was adjusting his breath.
Not long after, a group of men and horses came from the forest in the distance, all dressed in white, but with a little scarlet bird logo on their shoulders. The first person bowed his hands towards the old man from a distance.
"Chen Yangjing, Xiao Yi."
The men in white behind him all had solemn faces, extraordinary skills, and looked very neat.
The old man nodded.
"Yingdong border, Huang Kun." He also clapped his hands back.
"So it's brother Huang Kun." Another voice came from afar, faintly and faintly.
"People are still several miles away and the sound arrives first, brother Hu Nan's sound transmission technique for thousands of miles is getting more and more exquisite." Xiao Yi, the man in white, laughed.
"Is it just us?" Huang Kun in black robe asked in a low voice.
"It's already here, but many people are resting in a distant town, so they didn't come here." Xiao Yi explained.
"How many people came this time?"
"Didn't you say there are ten oppressors in one large area?"
"Just to check, how many districts have been mobilized in total? Maybe the division of each district is for us to choose a leader in advance?" Huang Kun said with a frown.
"It's possible" while speaking, a yellow shadow suddenly appeared, appeared on the edge of the altar in an instant, and landed on a thick vine.
"Brother Hu has guarded the frontier for many years, but it is much more difficult than those of us in the interior. Presumably, his cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds?" Xiao Yi said with a little compliment.
Huang Ying revealed his figure, it was a man with a mustache. Suddenly, figures appeared behind him, all in yellow clothes.
"Although my Jingxiu Villa has accumulated for many years, it is far inferior to the rest and recuperation of the inland people."
The man Hu Nan said in a deep voice, "I wonder if there is a record of the list in our region?"
"Of course there is, there is a record in the second decree." The old man in black robe Huang Kun stretched out his hand and shook a little white line, which landed on Hu Nan's hand. Expands to a note.
He caught it and saw that the names of different forces were carefully arranged on it. After reading it, he was taken aback for a moment.
"Unexpectedly, Lingxin Villa is also on our list. I wonder if the owner of Lingxin Villa has arrived?"
"Although Master Lingxin's cultivation is not high, he has profound attainments in formation, talisman, and Taoism. If he is there, the safety of this mission will definitely be greatly increased." Xiao Yi said happily.
"It's just that there are only five large areas, and they are responsible for sweeping the lairs of the insect masters here. Isn't it a bit difficult." He changed the topic.
"Perhaps there is not enough manpower at the top?" Hu Nan shook his head, "We are fine. Some large-scale suppressors have been accumulated for a long time from generation to generation, especially those forces that have experienced many twists and turns and are safe and sound. The higher-ups decided to take the opportunity to tidy up this time."
While the few people were talking, several waves of people came to the forest one after another. They were all introverted, dressed in strong clothes, and all had the logo of the Pine Forest Sword School on their bodies, big or small.
When it was close to noon, seven or eight people had already gathered around the altar and waited.
A group of people are all old, treacherous and cunning people. Looking at each other, but only complimenting each other, looking at the other suppressors.
After recuperating for many years, the masters of these forces all have hidden cultivation methods, and it is impossible to judge their true strength just by looking at their breath.
But among them, the suppressors guarding the border are definitely stronger than those in the general mainland. After all, the frequency of monsters and enemies invading the border is very high, and there are many actual combats, while some suppressors in the mainland are more peaceful for a long time, and some even have some swordsmanship. Rusty.
In this way, the two suppressors guarding the border each occupy one side of the altar. The rest of the inland suppressors naturally didn't speculate, gathered together, and they faintly rejected those suppressors with a strong smell of blood on their bodies. Maybe it's awe, maybe it's jealousy.
When it was almost noon, another group of people and horses came faintly in the distance in the forest. They were all white-clothed and white horses with two swords on their backs. Among them, the leader had a faint smile on his face. There are two long swords hanging from the waist, and a heart character is embroidered on the edge of the white clothes.
This man looked to be in his early forties, with slightly white temples, and he had a vaguely well-read poetry and scholarly temperament.
A group of knights on white horses galloped through the forest, and they were able to walk freely, crossing at high speed, hardly hindered by trees.
"stop."
The leader stopped with a yell.
Immediately, the order of thirty rides was prohibited, and all of them stopped quickly.
"But owner Lin Xinlin?"
A voice came from the side of the inland oppressors.
Lin Xin looked over and saw that the two sides were clearly separated.
There are also a few oppressors he knows on the mainland side. Almost all of them are dressed in fine clothes and luxurious makeup.
On the other side were two repressors stationed on the border.
The two of them were in ordinary yellow clothes, standing on one side and talking to their own people. Everyone has a strong killing intent, and their clothes are plain.
The other side was even more strange, there were only three people, and even the clothes were a bit torn, and they were wearing rough gray clothes. If they didn't see the pine forest logo on the chest of the clothes, they would have thought they were beggars from somewhere. But the hands of the three of them were casually holding the sword hilts around their waists, and their faces were as stiff as ice.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xin also remembered that he had heard people say that there is a type of suppression of the garrison that is extremely difficult. Unlike the general suppression of the garrison, the places they go to are the most bitter and cold places, the conditions are difficult, and it takes a long time to see them. With a little human presence, the suppression and fighting can only rely on a small number of hands, and the supplies are naturally extremely difficult. In fact, it was more because he offended someone in the sect that he was dispatched there.
"Master Lin, why don't you come over?" Among the suppressors in the mainland, Xiao Yi from Chen Yangjing laughed loudly, looking very familiar.
Lingxin Villa has a great reputation, and the talisman sword is also widely spread in the sect. As one of the suppressors who have a great influence on the sect, Lin Xin is naturally also very famous. Compared with many other suppressor forces that change frequently It is said that he has been able to be as stable as Mount Tai for more than 20 years, so he naturally has his own confidence and heritage.
After thinking about it, Lin Xin cupped his hands and raised his voice.
"Thank you for your kindness. It's too crowded over there. I'll just wait here."
Hearing over there, Xiao Yi, Huang Kun and the others looked a little ugly with smiles on their faces, and Xiao Yi wanted to say something else. But he was pulled down by a person next to him, so he didn't say much.
Here Lin Xin rests where he is, and among those who set out this time, Lin Zhen is coming. He didn't let him go, but let Lin Luo follow him.
In addition, there were 30 priests from the mountain villa, half of whom were recruited from outside and half of them were cultivated by the villa itself. Among them, a woman named Ouyang Fei was the strongest, and she also took the route of cultivating magic weapons. It's just a curved hook sword for sacrifice. He practiced Qiongyu swordsmanship, and Huang Shan has tested his strength, so he should be at the level of the Qi refining stage, and he even has a faint hole in his hand.
Sensing the unhappiness over there, Lin Xin didn't care, and signaled everyone in the villa to get off their horses and prepare for cooking. Everyone is responsible for their diet and breath adjustment. Unlike the mainland oppressors and other groups who brought personal guards to take care of themselves, as the owner of the villa, he did not bring anyone to take care of him. What I ate was still ordinary nutritious dry biscuits and water.
Lin Luo glanced at the side of the oppressors from beside him.
"Dead spirited, unaware, they've had too much fun."
"Not enough to be with them." Ouyang Fei also nodded and said, "The other party looks shabby. But in fact, he has a strong murderous aura, which is obviously cultivated by walking between life and death all year round. If possible, I would like to get close to this side."
"The temperament is unknown, I don't recommend getting close." Lin Luo objected.
Ouyang Fei raised her eyebrows.
"This is the time to be in a group, and it is also valuable to have more strength."
"What if there are ulterior motives?"
The two refused to give in to each other.
Lin Xin smiled.
"It's okay. Just try it out if you have the chance."
He himself has been walking between life and death all year round, so he has a good impression of such a person.
Seeing two groups of people over there looking towards him, he smiled back and nodded as a courtesy.
The group guarding the border are the men in yellow and so on.
Hu Nan, who was the leader, also immediately returned the greeting with a smile.
There were only three people on the other side, and the middle-aged man who took the lead smiled back stiffly, but it seemed like he was crying. It seems that there has been no change in expression for a long time.
Behind him was a man and a woman, who looked very young, as if they were his nephews.
So far, all the people in this region have arrived, and all the forces are surrounded by the altar. Waiting for the elder who led the team to appear.
Time passed slowly, and before you knew it, it was evening.
When the sun was about to set, there was a cry of cranes in the distant sky, and a pure-colored white crane flew slowly, with a man on its back and a huge sword on its back. Wearing a half body of exquisite black armor, her hair is neat even under the strong wind, and her long ponytail is combed behind her, but her face is extremely indifferent.
The most conspicuous and unique part of the man is that there is a delicate flower-like Chinese character on one side of his face, the red handwriting seems to be carefully embroidered and carved on it.
The white crane lowered the height, and the man jumped down, landing on the altar without fancy.
"I'm the leader of this district, Hua Lin. I'm leaving in three days, everyone, please get ready." When he opened his mouth, his voice sounded like hoarse metal friction, which was extremely unpleasant.
"Senior Brother Hualin." Lin Xin called out. "Do you ever remember?"
Hua Lin glanced over, saw him at first glance, and there was a trace of familiarity in his eyes. When Lin Xin asked him to teach Wuyan swordsmanship, he remembered him.
Because among all the people who asked for Wuyan's swordsmanship, Lin Xin's learning speed was so fast that he was dumbfounded. So impress.
"It turned out to be Junior Brother Lin. The situation is critical this time, please cooperate with all your strength!" He cupped his hands and said politely to Lin Xin.
"The situation is critical?" Lin Xin also felt that the situation was serious. Senior Brother Hua Lin was already a master Qi practitioner when he was still in the inner family, and now that he has reached the foundation building stage, he still says that the situation is critical.
"We need to join other regions and other people as soon as possible." Hua Lin said seriously. "At that time, you will see that masters from other sects may also be called to help out nearby. It is related to the foundation of my four sects. This time I can only succeed, not fail!"
"It's so serious." Among the guards in the interior, Chen Kun said, with a nervous expression on his face.
"It's more serious than you think." Hua Lin said lightly. (.)
