After tidying up the things, Lin Xin buried Shu Luoyi's things in another place separately, leaving only Muluzi's human face fruit and magic cheats, and kept the rest of the sundries by himself.
Out of the Stone Pillar Forest, he immediately saw a bigger and bigger fire in the pine forest in the distance. Almost half of the pine trees on the hillside were ignited. A vague black cloud.
Lin Xin was not in a hurry, and used the blade of the sword to compare with his own arm.
"Bitter tricks are necessary..." However, as a modern person, he still has some psychological barriers just to cut his arm with a sword.
But when he thought that the other two were dead, it was a bit unreasonable for him to be unscathed.
His heart was hardened, the blade of the sword was pressed on his arm, and he pulled down hard.
hiss.
Suddenly, a gash appeared on the arm, and red blood flowed out from the wound.
He quickly took out a Ganlin Talisman, pressed it directly, and then pressed the wound to prevent it from bleeding.
When the internal force is mobilized, it also gathers towards the wound, closing the wound.
Pressing the wound, Lin Xin dropped the sword and rushed directly down the mountain.
peacock city
Under the eaves, on a row of mahogany benches facing the small lake, four or five people from the Pine Forest Sword Sect were sitting quietly drinking tea and fishing.
The back of the bench is against the wall, and there is nothing between the lake and the water, allowing guests to fish or even go into the water.
Hanging on the wall is a huge calligraphy in black on a white background, with only one word on it: sword.
Kong Ling, the master of the Peacock Sect, was over half a hundred, dressed in a red robe, a very dignified middle-aged man, sitting at the first place on the right, laughing and looking at the man on the left.
"Senior Brother Dantang Zhong is here this time. If you don't spend a few days in my Peacock City, then others will say that I, Kong, don't know how to behave."
Brother Zhong's face is calm, his temples are slightly white, his long eyebrows are like sharp swords, he is wearing a plain white long coat with fluttering sleeves, and he is fishing in the lake with a fishing rod in his hand.
Hearing this, he also smiled.
"Brother Kong, you are being polite. If I hadn't been on business this time, I would have been on my way to Jin Yuzong. After this matter is settled, I will continue my mission immediately, and I dare not delay."
"Alright." Kong Ling nodded. At this moment, a servant ran in from the side entrance, and he smiled immediately. "It seems that information about the plague has been delivered."
Unexpectedly, a servant ran to him and whispered for a while, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes immediately fell on Senior Brother Zhong.
"Senior brother, my second son, Yuhui, brought someone here, who will definitely help you on this mission, I don't know..."
"Oh? Bring me here to meet you." Senior Brother Zhong is a genuine master Qi practitioner. This kind of attitude is a bit casual, but it is also normal for Kong Ling, who is only a natural master.
Kong Ling nodded, and waved his hands to let the servants go down.
Soon Kong Yuhui also brought a white-clothed scholar-like youth into here. The two walked respectfully to the right of Kong Ling and stood still.
Senior Brother Zhong looked carefully at the person next to Kong Yuhui. Kong Yuhui had seen the portraits in the documents and could recognize him, but he didn't recognize this young man in white who looked like a scholar.
This scholar has a handsome face, short hair, with a hint of sternness and calmness. At first glance, he belongs to the type of emotion and anger, and his cultivation is not good. Appears to have suffered severe internal injuries.
The most conspicuous thing was his eyes, black eyes with deep pupils, he dared to look directly at the Qi practitioner, giving him a rebellious temperament.
"He is?" Senior Brother Zhong asked.
"Back to Master, this is my nephew's good friend Lin Xin, who is also a disciple of Songlin. Maybe he can give you some key clues about the plague case this time." Kong Yuhui replied with his head bowed in fear.
"Lin Xin?" Senior Brother Zhong was slightly taken aback.
Lin Xin also stepped forward generously.
"But Master Zhong from Dantang? I don't know if you know Master Ji Lu?" He was straightforward enough to make connections.
Senior Brother Zhong blinked his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Ji Lu? Who is he to you? How do you know him?" Ji Lu is well-known as a good guy in Dan Tang. No one knows him, but there are few people who have anything to do with him. As soon as he heard the name, he also became a little curious about this young man who seemed to be in his early twenties.
"Nephew was introduced to the sect by Uncle Ji Lu a few days ago, and it has been almost half a year." Lin Xin answered carefully. He then told the other party how he got started, and clarified his relationship with Ji Lu.
"In this way, you really should call me uncle. I have a good relationship with that kid Ji Lu. No... you shouldn't say that. It should be said that Ji Lu is very popular in the entire alchemy hall. .Recently, I have been in love with Junior Sister You Xuan from the Sword Hall, and I think they will become a Taoist couple in a short time." When Ji Lu was mentioned, Senior Brother Zhong's expression softened.
"What was your cultivation level when you started?" He looked Lin Xin up and down, and asked again.
"Eh... it's the first level of Xiaogui Yuanjue..." Lin Xin didn't dare to hide it, and replied honestly, "But afterward, I had an adventure and took some elixir, and I barely reached this level."
Senior Brother Zhong was shocked when he heard that he was only a beginner at the first level of cultivation. He wondered how the sect would allow such a talented disciple to be unknown, and he was relieved after hearing about it. The improvement of elixir is different from the improvement of aptitude. The elixir has restrictions and sequelae, but the aptitude is different.
"My name is Zhong Xuan. Since you know Ji Lu, you can be regarded as half of me, so this matter will be easy to handle. Tell me, why did you take the initiative to find me?" Zhong Xuan said kindly.
Lin Xin didn't expect Uncle Ji Lu's face to be so easy to use, and he was glad that he had prepared other countermeasures to prevent the opponent from tearing his face, but now it seems that he won't need it for the time being.
"Reporting to Uncle, I have learned some inside information about the plague in the city..."
As he spoke, he carefully recounted what he had experienced these days, trimmed it a bit, and told Jonghyun. Of course, he has modified many places. About his talisman sword trump card, the conflict with Shu Luoyi, and the thousand-person human face fruit he obtained will definitely not be mentioned.
Originally, Zhong Xuan just looked casual, and the other two juniors who came with him also listened disapprovingly.
The inside story that Lin Xin said at the beginning, in fact, they had known for a long time, but as the situation deepened later, especially when they heard that Lin Xin had finally obtained the human face fruit and the magic tricks, all of them, including Kong Ling and Kong Yuhui, immediately They all looked serious.
"You present the things." Jonghyun sat up straight with a solemn tone.
Lin Xin came here this time to hold his thighs. He ruined the good deeds of a group of people in the sect.
Hearing this, he quickly took out the prepared human face fruit and cloth bag of magic cheats and handed them over.
Jonghyun took it and opened it, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After looking through it, he gave it to the other two and Kong Ling to check. He didn't take the cloth bag back into his hands until everyone had seen it.
"Lin Xin, you can hand over the treasures you got to the sect, which shows that you really have a heart of justice. However, as the person who was accidentally affected by this mission, except for you, the other two in your team are is dead, so you need to cooperate with the investigation on this matter. Do you have any opinions?"
Lin Xin nodded in agreement.
"Nephew must fully cooperate and know everything."
Jonghyun smiled slightly, very satisfied with his attitude.
"Then that's the end of this matter for you. You can stay with me these few days. After the investigation is clear, you can go back to the sect. No problem?"
Lin Xin felt relieved, he didn't expect to pass the test so easily, it seems that this time he really owes Master Ji Lu a favor.
"has a problem!"
He was about to reply when he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
The voice came from behind, and Lin Xin hurriedly looked back, only to see Zhao Hongtian walking into the door quickly following a middle-aged Taoist in white robes.
It was the middle-aged Taoist who spoke just now. The man was staring at him fiercely.
"The case of Human Face Fruit involves a lot, and there are always five of these evil treasures together. If there are four hundred-person-level human-mian fruits, then there must be one thousand-level main fruit. There are only four. Then Where did the rest of the main fruit go?!"
As soon as the Taoist entered the door, his voice exploded like firecrackers.
"I learned to hide the sect's treasures privately at a young age, and I can't betray the sect when I grow up?! What's the use of keeping such a rebellious person!? It's better to kill them with a sword!!"
The Taoist became more and more angry, and finally three translucent swords suddenly appeared behind him. With a backhand grab, the sword unexpectedly slashed towards Lin Xin.
laugh!
With a flicker of the sword's edge, a section of snow-white sword energy extended from the end of the blade, a few meters away from Lin Xin, and there was a faint sense of sharp threat.
Lin Xin felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party would do it when he said he would do it, and he didn't care about the presence of so many people. Hastily backed away.
Now he has no weapons, and all the talisman swords have been used up. Apart from the Wuyan swordsmanship, he is just a very ordinary disciple of the inner family, and he is still in a critical period when his internal energy is unstable and cannot stimulate a large amount of internal energy. Even normal second-tier disciples may not be able to beat them. Not to mention that the other party looked like a master of Qi training.
Now let's see if Uncle Jonghyun can stop it
"Pink pine nuts!!" When the sword energy was about to touch his forehead, a roar suddenly exploded from behind Lin Xin.
He saw a ball of golden light explode in front of his eyes, his whole body was warm as if he was in a stove, and the unwilling roar of the middle-aged Taoist sounded in his ears.
"Jonghyun!! How dare you stop me?!"
"Why don't you dare!" Jonghyun's voice was like Hong Zhong.
Boom! !
Immediately afterwards, there was a violent impact sound, as if two huge logs collided fiercely. Make a dull sound.
A figure smashed through the wooden wall of the house and flew out backwards.
The golden light gradually dissipated.
Lin Xin regained his eyesight, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he took a deep breath.
I saw that the wooden wall of the house, which was as thick as the length of a palm, was smashed by force at this time, and a large hole in the shape of a human appeared. The surrounding ground, tables, chairs, stools, etc., were not damaged at all. The location is still in place.
Except for a big hole in the wall next to the door, there is no trace of the rest.
The yellow pine nut was gone, obviously he was the one who was sent flying.
Jonghyun was still sitting in the same place, still holding the fishing rod in his hand, as if he had never touched it before.
Kong Ling was going to stand up to persuade him to make peace, but he didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, and the yellow pine nuts were beaten out in the blink of an eye. A trace of embarrassment and surprise appeared on his face.
Kong Yuhui swallowed his saliva, and looked at Lin Xin. This power... is no longer what ordinary Qi training can achieve...
Lin Xin also understood the meaning of his eyes. He had seen it when he was in the Lin family's hometown Hongsong City during the Qi refining period. Neither Zhao Si'er nor Su Wan had such exaggerated control. Although they are powerful, most of them are reflected in destruction, far from such precise control.
