Chapter 9 Want to Get In?
1.
At the foot of Qingyu Mountain, Songxi City, Fuxing Inn.
Ling Ying carried a bowl of thick soup, scooped it up and gently blew it cold, spoonful by spoonful to feed Yunxiao who was sleeping on the bed, and from time to time took a towel to wipe off the medicinal juice that overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
Ever since Yunxiao was slapped by the ghost, the poisonous gas has never been cleared from the body. Lin Xiao, Ling Ying and Li Zhou took turns to ferry the True Qi to her, plus the blending of some herbs, so that the toxins in her body did not spread further. Rao is like this, Yunxiao's condition is still not improving, most of the day is spent in a coma, and the whole person is getting thinner and thinner.
When Ling Ying had fed the medicine and was about to fold the quilt for Yunxiao, he heard a rush of footsteps downstairs, and it was getting closer and closer to this room. Ling Ying returned his hand and was about to touch the jade flute Feixue behind him, when he heard a voice that was even more arrogant than the sound of footsteps:
"The two guest officers are back, what do you have to say......?"
"No! don't bother me!"
β......β
Ling Ying withdrew her hand speechlessly, watching the door of the room be kicked open, and thought: I can't wake up my senior sister anyway, so I can kick it if I like to kick it...... I saw Lin Xiao coming in from outside, the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to erupt, and behind him was Li Zhou, who looked helpless, but also slightly gloomy.
Ling Ying felt a slight surprise in his heart, he knew that although Lin Xiao acted in a hurry, he had always been rational and calm, and it was rare for him to be so angry. Li Zhou is even more moody on weekdays (except, of course, when facing Lin Xiao's ridicule), and at this time, his face is also gloomy, and he doesn't know what happened to the two of them on this trip.
"What's wrong?" Ling Ying wondered.
Li Zhou shook his head: "It's the ...... of the Aoki family."
"Could it be that the Aoki family has also been wiped out?!" Ling Ying's eyes widened in horror.
Lin Xiao snorted angrily and said, "I wish they were all dead now, otherwise there would be so much." The power of sesame mung beans is bigger, there are not many of them in the entire Xianmen, and there are a lot of them, what do you want to do with such a big posture!"
After this stinking scolding, Ling Ying was even more confused, so he turned to Li Zhou: "Okay, what happened?"
Li Zhou said: "This morning, the two of us went to worship the mountain, but we were forcibly stopped by the disciples guarding the mountain gate and not allowed to enter, saying that the Yu family never received idle people. We repeatedly stressed that we had something important to ask for, but the men guarding the door said that the two of us coveted the beauty of their remaining masters, and took advantage of the opportunity to go in and harass them, and said that there were not 1,000 but 800 such people a day, and that they had seen a lot of them......"
Ling Ying couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
Lin Xiao sneered extremely mockingly beside him.
"Then did you fight?" Ling Ying came out after a while, and stared at Lin Xiao directly.
Li Zhou understood: "He didn't fight......"
Before Ling Ying could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Zhou added the second half of the sentence that made people vomit blood: "...... Is that still him?!"
Lin Xiao looked at Ling Ying's expression as if he was about to eat himself, and pinned his head to the side with a weak heart: "I didn't do it, it was Hongchen who did it......" At this point, he saw Hongchen vibrating violently in the scabbard in protest.
"Later, Li Zhou showed the identity token of the Ziyang Divine Sect to those guys who didn't know what to do, and they agreed to help us pass the news. Lin Xiao continued: "But after all, I still didn't see it, and Yu Dangjia sent one of her disciples to tell us - if you want to enter the door, you must pass the customs first." β
"Pass?" Ling Ying was stunned: "What level?"
Li Zhou explained: "The four disciples of the Yu family are sitting at the important place on the Qingyu Mountain, and if you want to enter the gate of the Qingmu family, you have to pass through them first. β
Ling Ying frowned: "The poison on Senior Sister's body can't be delayed for so long. β
"Of course not. Lin Xiao said: "I've already thought about it - although the poison on my senior sister's body is weird, the head master will definitely be able to save her." You two, take your senior sister back to the sect immediately, and leave the matter here to me. β
Ling Ying exclaimed, "Do you want to go through four levels alone? Otherwise, I will escort my senior sister back alone, and you and Li Zhou will stay. If two people are together, they take care of each other, and the odds of winning can be better. β
Lin Xiao said: "You have to keep sending true qi to senior sister along the way, and you will probably collapse before you reach Kunlun Mountain." That's it-you two escort Senior Sister back, and I'll go find Yu Yuntong myself. β
Li Zhou frowned and said, "You...... Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure...... Lin Xiao turned his head and raised his eyebrows at a corner of the room, "...... Isn't there still her?"
The three of them looked at the place together, silent.
There's a coffin!
Lin Xiao stepped forward to open the lid of the coffin, only to see a woman lying in black, firmly bound by Dingyun Suo, with a bloodstained face and a pale complexion. She seemed to feel that Lin Xiao had opened the lid of the coffin, so she opened her eyes and let out a dull roar from the depths of her throat.
Those eyes, only a dead white!
2.
The disciples in front of Qingyu Mountain found that one of the two people yesterday had returned, and he was not followed by the beautiful woman who was dressed in fiery red clothes and was extremely cruel, but his state today was even more terrifying.
Lin Xiao stood in front of the mountain gate with an expressionless face, holding Hongchen in his left hand and raising his right hand high, holding an ebony coffin.
The eyes of several of the gatekeepers were as big as copper bells, and their mouths were wide enough to fit several eggs. After a while, someone gradually reacted from the shock and asked, "What is the intention of the bold fanatic, who dares to carry the coffin to provoke here!"
The poor disciple had spoken in what he thought was the most intimidating tone, but it still seemed so weak to others.
But this really doesn't blame him, but as long as he is a normal person, when he encounters Lin Xiao carrying a coffin like this at this time, he will inevitably be several heads lower than him in terms of momentum.
"Didn't you say yesterday that if you want to go up the mountain, you must pass the customs first?" Lin Xiao said with a smile. He held an extremely heavy coffin in one hand, but he did not see a drop of sweat or gasp, as if he had just taken an ordinary thing in his hand.
"I'm here to break through today, by the way, send a good sister to your Yu master!"
The disciples at the gate looked at each other, unable to understand the meaning of Lin Xiao's words for a while. At this moment, there was a sound of a piano like a clear spring coming from the mountain road ahead, and then an extremely sweet female voice said: "Since this son wants to come up and take a look, what are you people still doing to stop you?"
"Yes. The disciples of the gate retreated to both sides and made way up the mountain. Lin Xiao smiled slightly, carried the coffin and strode up the mountain, following the sound of the piano.
Turn a small forest, turn around from the mountain path, you will see a clear stream flowing down from the mountain, the sound of "ding ding dong dong" is very pleasant, and the sound of the guqin sonature complements the sound of this clear stream, which makes people listen to it refreshingly.
On the bank of the clear stream, there is a small pavilion, and the eaves of the pavilion are hung with beaded curtains, and you can vaguely see two women sitting in the pavilion. One of them was burning incense and stroking the harp, and the other was sitting across from her, his head bowed and his cheek resting on his cheek, not knowing what he was doing.
"Since Childe has come here, why not come in and talk about it. β
Sure enough, it was the sweet voice that I had just heard at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Xiao jumped over the clear stream with a rise and fall, and with a shake of the hand carrying the coffin, the ebony coffin flew out horizontally, and then landed steadily on the edge of the pavilion. Lin Xiao slightly straightened his clothes, lifted the bead curtain, and walked into the pavilion.
I saw a plain-clothed girl sitting in the pavilion, and her appearance was very beautiful. There was a stove of sandalwood burning beside her, and her jade fingers were verdant, plucking the strings of the guqin in front of her. She raised her head slightly, saw Lin Xiao coming in, nodded and smiled lightly.
And the one sitting opposite the girl on the piano was also a beautiful woman, and the way she looked at her bowing her cheeks before was because there was a chessboard in front of her, and the black and white twins on the chessboard had almost fallen. The chess-playing woman was unaware of Lin Xiao's arrival, and bowed her head to ponder the endgame in front of her.
Lin Xiao stepped forward and bowed: "Lin Xiao, the eldest disciple of the Purple Sun Divine Sect, this is polite." β
"Childe doesn't have to be polite. The woman touching the piano plucked her fingers slightly, and a light note closed the whole song. "It's just that, Childe, you carry the coffin and worship the mountainβis this the way of the Ziyang Divine Sect?"
Lin Xiao said: "The reason for this matter cannot be explained in three words. Please also ask your two to make it convenient for you to go down and visit Master Yu. β
The Fuqin woman smiled: "If Childe wants to enter the gate of my Aoki family, then he must abide by the rules of my Aoki family." Since you have chosen to break through the level, then the two sisters will first learn your Excellency's tricks. β
"The two have been famous for a long time, and they don't dare to make a mistake. β
The Fuqin woman's face changed slightly: "Childe recognizes us?"
Lin Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "I never fight unprepared battles in the lower ranks, since I dare to come, it means that I know who is guarding this Qingyu Mountain." There is a way - under the Aoki seat, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The two should be 'Qin Immortal' and 'Chess Demon', and the remaining two 'Bookworms' and 'Painting Maniacs' are supposed to be on top. β
The woman playing chess suddenly said: "It is worthy of being the eldest disciple of the Purple Sun Divine Sect, and he is really well-informed." β
What Lin Xiao said is good, the two beauties in front of him play chess, they seem to be weak and weak, but they are indeed "Qin Fairy" Wenqin and "Chess Demon" Luo Sisi.
Lin Xiao glanced at Luo Sisi, the voice of this "chess demon" sounded slightly hoarse, but it was very charming, and people couldn't help but feel their hearts flutter when they heard it. In addition, she kept looking down at the chessboard in front of her when she spoke, and never raised her head to look at Lin Xiao.
Wen Qin picked up the Yaoqin on the table and stood up, and said to Lin Xiao: "Since the son has recognized our sisters, there is naturally no need to say polite words, it is still the same sentence - if you want to enter the door of the Aoki family, you must pass our passes first." Please advise!"
As soon as the last three words came out, Wen Qin gently picked up the entire Yaoqin with light luck on his wrist, pushed it lightly with his bare hands, and the tail of the piano hit Lin Xiao's chest.
Lin Xiao took Hongchen behind him and sent it out with his left palm, blocking the yaoqin. At the same time, Wenqin's fingers plucked on the strings, and the sound of the piano was soft.
When the wisp of piano sound popped out, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that his breath was suffocating, but his heartbeat suddenly became tight, and his hand blocking the piano became a little weaker, and Yaoqin took advantage of the situation to enter and crashed into his "atrium acupoint". There is a key point in the chest, and if it is sealed in one fell swoop, then this competition will be over.
Lin Xiao stepped back, his breath eased, his left hand grabbed the tail of the piano and flipped it up, and then quickly retreated like a shock, and the whole person flashed out of the pavilion. On the other side, Wenqin had already sat down again, Hengqin was in front, and the sound of the piano flowed from between her slender jade fingers, and the music turned urgent, like an iron horse protruding and ten thousand armies rushing.
After a few moves, Lin Xiao already had a rough judgment in his heart: "Her piano has spiritual power attached to it." β
The thought turned sharply, and Lin Xiao finally took out his sword. The red dust flew out of the sheath, turning into thousands of sword shadows in the air, surrounding the pavilion up and down.
"Bibo Sword Prison?!" Wen Qin snorted.
"Exactly. Lin Xiao's right hand was sealed, and his left hand was behind his back with a sword trick.
Wen Qin said with a smile: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship attainments are so high, why don't you go to the Sword Sect to be a disciple?"
Lin Xiao also smiled back: "If I were a disciple of the Sword Sect, I would not be using the 'Bibo Sword Prison' at this moment, but the 'Illusory Sword Array'!"
Wen Qin couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Ethereal City is the biggest force in the Sword Sect, and each generation of leaders is titled "Sword". The current head of the "Sword God" was once the son of a well-known family in the Dongting area - "Weiyang Jun" Xia Yang, and now he is the famous "No. 1 Sword in the World", with wonderful swordsmanship and world-famous.
The "Phantom Sword Array" is the famous stunt of the Ethereal City. Cultivators use the sword to control the qi, turn into ten thousand sword shadows, and the void and the real have their own changes, which is called "illusory void"; it can cover the sky and the sun, and form its own formation in a corner, which is the "sword array".
Back then, Weiyangjun entered the Demon Sect's Eternal Night Realm alone, and used the "Illusory Sword Array" to cast the "Vientiane All-Inclusive Sword" with the momentum of the "Phantom Sword Array", and the fifteen halls of the Demon Sect were washed with a single sword, and everyone was shocked. Because of this, the name of the "Phantom Sword Array" is indeed just like the meaning of Lin Xiao's words-
If this trick is made, Wenqin will definitely lose!
"Yes, if you make the 'Illusory Sword Array', I will definitely be defeated. But you are not a disciple of the Sword Sect after all, what can you do with just a 'Bibo Sword Prison'?!"
The ten fingers of the Wenqin were plucked, the strings of the Yao Qin moved, and the sound of the piano began to change a lot. Sometimes the tone is gentle, like a pool of still water, without a trace of waves, extremely soothing and slow, and sometimes it becomes more and more rapid, like a silver bottle bursting, swords and guns are ringing in unison.
The sound of the qin is full of spiritual power, and the rhythm of each sound can lead to the opponent's internal breath and true qi, which is used to disturb the enemy's mind, and once the opponent's internal breath resonates with the sound of the qin, it will be unconsciously controlled by the sound of the qin.
For example, when the sound of the piano is soothing, the opponent's move will also be soothed, and when the sound of the piano is abrupt, the opponent's move will also be soothing. The degree of slowness of the move is related to the operation of the true qi in the body, and if it fluctuates so much up and down, the human body will collapse first.
However, after half an hour, Lin Xiao still maintained the "Bibo Sword Prison" steadily, although he did not attack, but he did not retreat at all.
Wen Qin was shocked in his heart, this young man was young, even if he had the cultivation of the seventh or eighth heaven now, it was impossible for him to hold on for so long under his "invisible and unintentional seven killing strings". At that moment, the ten fingers snapped, and the sound of the piano rang loudly, but then several sounds of "pop, pop" were heard.
Wen Qin's face turned pale in an instant.
Traces of blood oozed from her fingertips, and on the yaoqin in front of her, five of the seven strings had been broken.
3.
Even if the "Invisible Unintentional Seven Killing Strings" had been broken, Lin Xiao did not relax in the slightest. Since the fight, six points of his energy has been on Luo Sisi, who is next to Wenqin.
This chess-loving beauty showed indifference to everything that happened around her from the beginning, and Lin Xiao was fighting with Wen Qin, although she was close at hand, she still didn't pay even a little attention to the battle situation. This "chess demon" always stared at the chess game in front of her, sometimes reciting words, sometimes picking up one or two black and white chess pieces and putting them on the chessboard.
Until the moment when the strings of the Yao piano broke and the sound of the piano stopped, Lin Xiao saw Luo Sisi put his hand into the chess box.
She took out a black piece, but instead of putting it into the chess game as before, she flicked it lightly, and the chess piece shot out of her fingertips and crashed into the "Bibo Sword Prison".
The chess pieces made of jade smashed to pieces on the "Bibo Sword Prison". Lin Xiao's face changed, and then another white child flew out...... I saw Hongchen's sword body trembling violently in mid-air, and the sword shadow that came out of it merged into one and retracted into the sheath.
Wen Qin asked on the side: "Dare to ask Childe, how did you break my 'invisible and unintentional seven killing strings'?"
Lin Xiao replied, but his eyes did not take his eyes off Luo Sisi. "Although your master's trick is called 'Invisible and Unintentional', if you want to manipulate other people's internal breath with the sound of the piano, you must be heard by people in order to play a role. I didn't lay down the 'Bibo Sword Prison' to hurt you, but the sword prison - it was a sound barrier in itself. β
Wen Qin couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "The son is worthy of being the first disciple of the Ziyang Sect, and the means are really good." β
"Don't dare to be. Lin Xiao bowed his hand: "After all, it was the chess demon who didn't make a move, so he took advantage of it." If the two of them are together, how can this mere 'blue wave sword prison' work. β
Luo Sisi finally glanced up at Lin Xiao: "Since Childe is a one-man battle, then we will naturally stop it alone." Since you can resist Sister Wen's piano sound, if I go into battle alone, I guess my 'rotten Ke Tribulation' will not be your opponent. β
"In this way, you and I will try to compare with each other. Luo Sisi said as he picked up the chessboard and faced Lin Xiao. I don't know what kind of material the chessboard, which looks dark and dull, can actually suck all those chess pieces firmly on it.
On the chessboard, it was the chess game that Luo Sibu had just played.
"This is what I have recently realized. You just have to tell me, if you are a white child, how should you turn the tables on this situation?"
Luo Sisi's "Linglong Tribulation" is similar to the "Rotten Ke Tribulation" that she relied on to become famous, both of which inject deep mental power into the chessboard to lay out a game of chess. After others have seen it, they only need to think about it for a step or two, and they will fall into an endless mental magic - to put it bluntly, it is the kind of illusion that tempts self-destruction.
Lin Xiao glanced at the chess game, and saw that there were not many positions on the chessboard to arrange chess. In terms of the overall trend, black has won the game and has a large advantage, but if it is said that white will lose, there are a few vague feelings that it can be lived.
Lin Xiao knew that Luo Sisi's chess game was powerful, and he only looked at the chess game and didn't think about the countermeasures to turn the game, so that he would not be swallowed up by the illusion as his thoughts deepened.
Rao is like this, but he just roughly distinguishes the situation between black and white, which makes Lin Xiao feel a headache, his chest is stuffy, and he can't help but be shocked in his heart: "This person's mental power is really strong!"
"Exquisite chess game" is an ingenious creation of the whole situation, characterized by the ingenuity of the conception. But most of them use techniques such as panzheng, dead and alive, tesuji, and murderous qi to affect the overall situation, and they are not traceless. You only need to know the general situation, and you can find the corresponding solution.
Lin Xiao is not proficient in chess, but his master, Yun Ya, the sect leader of the Ziyang Divine Sect, has studied chess as well. Although Luo Sisi's chess game is wonderful, it is not intended to break the game but to enter the game; those who are deeply involved in it are puzzled by being too careful about each small move, but they do not know that as long as they have the overall situation in mind, they can see the move and reverse the decline.
Lin Xiao glanced at the chess game and only said eight words:
"Reluctantly, break and stand. β
Luo Sisi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face was happy: "Wonderful!
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, saluted respectfully to the two people in the pavilion, bypassed Qingxi, turned around and carried the ebony coffin, and continued to walk along the mountain path.
Luo Sisi put the chess game back on the table, filled a chess piece into the air hole at the "upper" Qisanlu, and then reached out and brushed away all the white pieces in that corner.
"Sisi?" Wen Qin said in surprise.
Luo Sisi looked at the chess game where the situation suddenly became clear, and said secretly in his heart:
Oh, yes...... If it weren't for the self-destructive corner, it would have been able to make room for white to turn around!
4.
After the levels of "Qin Immortal" and "Chess Demon", then waiting on it are "bookworms" and "painting maniacs".
Lin Xiao didn't know how long it had been since he went up the mountain, but he vaguely heard the sound of running water coming from afar. As the distance drew closer, the sound of the water grew louder and louder, and then it changed from a small sound to a roar.
The trail disappeared and a huge waterfall lay in front of him.
Lin Xiao was full of doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had taken the wrong path. The mountain here is already steep, and after the waterfall, there will never be enough place to accommodate the next family.
That being said, but along the way, it is clear that it is "a road from ancient Huashan", and even a small fork in the road is nowhere to be found, and it is not easy to make a mistake.
"Could it be that the Aoki family is hidden in a certain enchantment on this mountain?" Lin Xiao didn't feel a little big, "If that's the case, then how can I find it?!"
The waterfall cascades down from above into a deep pool of turquoise water, which seems to be the source of the streams below. There is also a pavilion built by the pond, and there is no one in the pavilion, but there are things left in it.
Lin Xiao put down the coffin, shook his right arm, which had begun to become sore for too long, and walked into the pavilion. I saw that there was a set of neat and tidy four treasures of the study room on the table in the pavilion, and the ink in the inkstone still had a shallow bottom, but it was red ink made of cinnabar, and another tong pipe was placed on it.
The town pressed a piece of rice paper with four big red characters written on it - death to the trespasser!
"Bookworm?!"
I only see his words, but I don't see his people. Lin Xiao looked at the four big characters, only felt that his heart trembled, and hurriedly looked around, and at the same time, he twisted the trick with his left hand, and drew a few runes behind his back with his right hand, and the "Heaven and Earth Net" quietly spread out.
The spiritual power fluctuations around the waterfall were transmitted back to Zhihai through the "Heaven and Earth Net", and Lin Xiao slowly turned around and looked at a woman in a yellow shirt who was grooming and dressing up by the water.
The woman didn't seem to notice Lin Xiao's arrival, and combed her long hair with a comb. After she finished combing slowly, she suddenly said: "Childe came from afar, and the little woman was not welcomed, so I asked Childe to rest in the pavilion for a while, and wait for me for a while." β
Lin Xiao didn't expect her to speak out at this time, and was taken aback suddenly, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Is it offended, dare to ask Your Excellency is a 'bookworm'?"
"Bookworm?" The woman in the yellow shirt smiled slightly: "What if you are a 'bookworm'? β
Lin Xiao said: "The president of Jinling Ink Dyeing Academy, the 'sage of calligraphy' Yan Suqing. β
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of something. He stretched out his hand to take the town away, and lifted the rice paper with red letters written on it, and his face changed for a while - he saw that the bluestone table was also engraved with the four big characters "Death to trespassers", which were deeply inched.
The rice paper has not been broken, but the strength of the pen has been carved into the table below through the paper! This kung fu is ......
"Into the wood three fingers!" Lin Xiao exclaimed: "You are ......"
The woman in the yellow shirt stood up, looking at Lin Xiao with a pair of watery eyes, as if she was smiling.
"I am Yan Suqing's daughter - Yan Mengyun. β
