Baihu's back looked lonely, as if he was thinking about something sad, and he looked quite bleak.
She could make a living by acting cute, but she insisted on relying on her melancholy temperament. Lu Bei said he didn't understand, but from what he said, he smelled something bad happening, so he came to see what was going on.
The appearance of Baihu was just an episode. Lu Bei did not go over to make himself familiar with him. He continued fishing by the river with the smiling Lin Yu.
Soon, Lin Yu couldn't laugh anymore.
Lu Bei had just gotten rid of the aura of a novice and had not yet encountered the air force curse. After a moment of calm, he caught another two-jin fish. However, due to his physique as a veteran air force man, he was feeding the fish the whole time.
The two men were in the state of spiritual transformation and could last a long time without eating or drinking. One of them was an idler, and the other was also an idler, so they just squatted by the river until dark.
Lu Bei maintained a rate of catching a two-jin fish every hour. Lin Yu was even steadier than him and didn't catch any. However, he was determined and believed that miracles existed in the world. He insisted on not letting Lu Bei leave and invited him to go fishing at night.
If you want to fish at night, then fish at night.
Senior Sister and Snake Sister were in seclusion, Wei Yu had not returned from chopping off her hands, and in the entire Beijun Mountain, Lu Bei knew only Lin Yu besides Lü Buwang. It was definitely impossible to find Lü Buwang at this time, so it would be safer to accompany Lin Yu fishing.
Fishing is also a social activity, in a silent way.
No words were spoken that night.
At dawn the next day, the two men stood by the river, motionless as a mountain.
"Big Brother, it's time to put the club away. I just saw someone pointing fingers at us."
"Not now. Early morning is a great time to catch fish. You can catch dozens of kilograms of fish just by fishing. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait until night."
"Well, you have a really good attitude."
"Fishermen are all like this. With a calm mind like you and me, it is easy to practice."
…
The two sat quietly by the river. On Wuwang Peak, Lin Buyan sent a message to Bai Jin but did not receive a reply, so he went to look for him himself.
No one was there, and there was an out-of-office sign.
Lin Buyan was speechless. The three days were up and Bai Jin should hand Dashitian back to him. What did it mean to hang a sign saying "No one is at home"
If it were someone else, such as Lu Bei, Lin Buyan would have already begun to suspect the possibility of him absconding with the sword, but who could blame him since this person was Bai Jin? He left a sword talisman and asked Bai Jin to recover as soon as possible.
Time waits for no one, we can't delay any longer.
The result of yesterday's negotiation with Jing Ji was not satisfactory. Lin Buyan used his superb acting skills to deal with it and gave Jing Ji a reassurance. However, the effect of this reassurance was very short. If he wanted to delay it, he had to take action against Lu Bei.
As the leader of Huangji Sect and Purple Guard of Xuanyin Division, coupled with his background as a confidant of Emperor Wu Zhou, Lu Bei had connections in the court and was a true minister of the country.
In other cultivation sects, if disciples were too close to the court, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages. But for Lingxiao Sword Sect, which had joined the Iron Sword Alliance, it would definitely be a disaster, especially at this critical juncture.
Jing Ji warned Lin Buyan that how to deal with Lu Bei had great significance, so he asked him to make a decision quickly.
Whether it was ignoring or treating it coldly, it seemed to alienate Lu Bei, but in fact it was getting closer to Wu Zhou. If Lin Buyan handled it this way, I'm sorry, the disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect, led by Mei Wangsu, would risk being wanted and return to Beijun Mountain to seize the position of the leader.
The situation was urgent and there was no time to delay any longer. Lin Buyan was extremely anxious and that night he contacted a stranger whom he had not seen for decades.
The other party first ridiculed Lin Buyan for being two-faced and a natural fence-sitter, and then gave him an idea, or an order, asking Lin Buyan to find Lu Bei to discuss the matter.
After being ridiculed and mocked, and then obtaining some important information, Lin Buyan's face turned green, and he followed the other party's order to find Lu Bei.
According to reports from fellow disciples, the younger junior brother and the older senior brother were fishing by the river in Zhiluyuan, chatting and laughing, as if no one was around, and ignoring the sect rules that prohibited fishing.
The person was found.
But first, Lin Buyan must take back Dashitian, otherwise...
Bai Jin described the scene in the secret realm. Lu Bei defeated Chang Buqing and Pang Buchu with his bare hands. These two were second-generation disciples with good aptitude. They had reached the great perfection of the Refining Void Realm. They were superior to him in both cultivation and swordsmanship.
Lin Buyan estimated that without the protection of Dashitian, he might, perhaps, be knocked down by Lu Bei's punch.
Although there will be no conflict between the two when they meet, having a sword and not using it are two different things and having no sword to use are two different things. In order to prevent the treacherous villain from having a fit, the leader's token must be carried with you.
The Changchong sword intent plus the Dashitian power is a trump card to avoid being beaten. He may not be able to use it, but it cannot be useless.
After waiting for half a day, there was still no news from Bai Jin. Lin Buyan could not wait any longer, so he flew into the air and came to Huiwan. He looked at the backs of the two people sitting side by side, and his eyes were dazed.
The figures overlapped, and a picture of them arm in arm appeared. He taught Mo Bu how to cultivate sword skills. Three days later, the other party pressed him to the ground and rubbed him.
The saddest thing is that the younger sister he liked witnessed the whole process, stood by and clapped and cheered, and urged the younger junior brother to step up his efforts and teach the arrogant older brother a lesson.
Mo Buxiu was very obedient and became even more ruthless.
It's too bad, the memories are full of sadness.
Lin Buyan clenched his fists and looked at Lin Yu's back with an unfriendly look.
You bastard, if you were half as tough and strong-willed as your father, you wouldn’t be so badly suppressed by your junior brother!
"Big Brother, I caught another fish. It's too hard to catch nothing. I don't want to fish anymore. I'm leaving."
"No, you're having a great time fishing, but I don't have a single fish scale. At least wait until I catch one before you go back."
Lin Buyan: …
Well, your sword skills are not as good as my junior brother's, and you can't even compare with me in fishing, my specialty. What's the use of you
Even more angry!
“Ahem!!”
Lin Buyan clenched his fist and coughed heavily, which scared Lin Yu so much that his hand trembled. The two-pound giant was unhooked and returned to the Air Force camp again.
"Dad... Master, why are you here?"
Lin Yu quickly put away the tools he had used to commit the crime, not giving Lin Buyan the chance to break the rod, and argued, "My disciple just got to the river. If you don't believe me, look, I haven't caught a single fish."
"Meet the Master."
Lu Bei saluted and said that he had just noticed the obvious malicious intent behind him and reminded Lin Yufeng to hurry up, but the latter did not listen and insisted on seeking death. This could not be blamed on him.
Lin Buyan nodded to Lu Bei and said to his son with a bad look, "I came here to look for Brother Lu. You continue fishing and don't disturb us."
"real?!"
Lin Yu said in disbelief, the sun rose from the west, and Lin Buyan actually let him go, could it be... that there would be an explosion today
"Why would I lie to you? After you finish fishing, go to the Law Court to receive your punishment. Don't take too long. Dean Lu has been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Buyan said unhappily.
When Lin Yu heard this, his face was filled with grief as if a fish had died. Hearing that his mother was preparing a severe punishment and was waiting for him to arrive, he did not dare to delay.
One more shot and go.
"Come with me, I have something to ask you." Lin Buyan floated up and flew straight to the location of the Beijun Mountain Tomb.
What do we have to talk about
Lu Bei was puzzled. This was not the first time he had met Lin Buyan. Every time they met, both parties just nodded to each other. There was a sense of awkwardness and unfamiliarity, as if they disliked each other.
After thinking about it, Lu Bei could only assume that the hypocritical leader was going to take advantage of the fact that no one was around to attack him, the little flower.
Fortunately, it was not a big problem. He could blow up Lin Buyan, a third-rate guy who had not even reached the realm of refining emptiness or the great perfection, with just one punch.
For the sake of my senior brothers, sisters and uncle, I will hold back a little on this punch and just beat him into a vegetable for the sake of it.
…
Beijun Mountain, cemetery.
The flat mountain is silent and peaceful. Looking around, one can see hundreds of white stone tombstones arranged neatly.
Because they were sword cultivators, many of their graves had no tombstones or epitaphs, only a broken sword.
Most of the Lingxiao Sword Sect disciples buried in the cemetery died in the civil war, and they were all inner disciples. Most of the outer disciples like Zhu Yan had families in the mortal world, and their bodies were sent back to their homeland after they died in battle.
Those buried here are either alone or have their hearts set on Lingxiao Sword Sect and want to be buried in the back mountain even after their death.
When it came to the second generation of disciples, most of the disciples accepted by Lingxiao Sword Sect were orphans. These people had suffered a lot and were full of fighting spirit. Lin Buyan, Mo Buxiu, and Wen Bubei were all like this.
When Lin Buyan came to power, he was very good at networking. The Lingxiao Sword Sect changed its past closed-door approach. In order to build up personal connections, it established good relations with the Yuezhou cultivation families, recruited a large number of outer disciples, and the generation name system that was passed down only for one generation was also abolished.
From a long-term perspective, this is a good thing. Lingxiao Sword Sect's influence in Yuezhou is growing day by day because of its connections. Not only is the sect strong, but its disciples also receive many kinds of care when traveling in Yuezhou.
The biggest gain was that as Lin Buyan's voice became stronger, the Tianjian Sect gradually lost control over the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and their attitude towards the Nine Swords became more respectful.
Perhaps his cultivation is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the elders of the Tianjian Sect, but it must be admitted that his influence in the Yuezhou cultivation world, especially among sword cultivators, definitely exceeds that of the Iron Sword Alliance and cannot be suppressed easily.
Lin Buyan landed in front of the mausoleum, walked through it, and stopped at the second-generation disciple cemetery. He looked at the tombstone with Mo Buxiu's name on it and asked directly, "Nephew Lu, is your master really dead?"
"Probably, depending on the situation... maybe he's not dead."
Lu Bei bowed to the tombstone and answered truthfully. In the Yin-Yang Secret Realm, Bai Jin had also asked the same question. Including himself, everyone began to doubt whether Mo Buxiu had really died.
At the very least, the defeated generals respected their king so much that they remained imprisoned but survived, but Mo Buxiu died at the end of his life.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this old guy is too good at jumping around and looking for opportunities everywhere, and he is too arrogant. Passers-by can't stand it, so they stand up and beat him half to death.
Lin Buyan nodded, no longer dwelling on this question, and turned to look at Lu Bei: "This master heard that your nephew is an official of the Purple Guard of the Xuanyin Division, and also receives a salary from the leader of the Huangji Sect. He is very powerful in Ningzhou and is quite glorious."
Lu Bei raised his hand and said modestly, "Yes, it happened. I searched the East Prince's Mansion and framed his whole family for plotting a rebellion. I was so exhausted from all the cheating."
"… "
Lin Buyan's eyelids twitched, and he felt that Lu Bei was more and more unlike Mo Buxiu. After thinking about it, he felt that he was somewhat similar to himself.
Too outrageous!
Seeing that his momentum was suppressed by Lu Bei's words, Lin Buyan snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This master also heard that you found a godmother in the capital, named..."
"Fox Two!"
