Lin Yanlan rushed over in a few steps and said, "Xiaochen! I'm ......."

A "I" word came out, but I didn't know what I was going to say, I was speechless for a long time.

Hua Lingchen glanced at him, casually handed over a black round porcelain bottle, and said, "Rub the ointment inside on your face, there is really a fool like you in the world, you beat yourself and hit yourself so hard." “

Lin Yanlan happily took it, took a little and rubbed it on her face, only to feel the dark fragrance on her nose, cool to the touch, and indescribably comfortable.

Lin Yanlan handed the ointment back and said, "Xiaochen, it's my ...... wrong."

Hua Lingchen didn't accept the ointment, and snorted coldly: "Since I was a child, no one has ever dared to be so rude to me, if in normal times, those two would already be two corpses......"

Although the two have only known each other for half a day, Lin Yanlan has also seen from her clothes and expression that Hua Lingchen must have grown up in pampering and pampering, and this time she was lightly humiliated by those two strongmen, but she did not kill anyone, she really took care of her friend's face, and she was even more ashamed in her heart.

Hua Lingchen saw Lin Yanlan's face ashamed, his heart softened, he sighed faintly, looked at Lin Yanlan's eyes were as gentle as water, and said: "Do you know? I have always done things my own way, except for my father, what I want to do, I never have to explain anything to anyone, whether it is stealing horses or robbing horses, I don't have to explain to you......

As he spoke, he turned over and got on his horse, gently clamped his feet, and walked forward without hurrying.

Lin Yanlan was stunned for a moment, then got on the horse and followed, thinking: "What she said is the truth, with her ability, she wants to snatch the horse directly from the hands of those two people, but it is also a simple thing, so she didn't rob it, but went to steal it, she already took care of my face, and explained to me a lot afterwards, naturally she regarded me as a friend, but I didn't distinguish between right and wrong......"

Then I thought, "She acts like this, dares to act, although she is above board, but what she does is not chivalrous after all, I must persuade her more in the future, if I can let the master also accept her as an apprentice, which can not only lead her to the right path, but also get along with her every day, then it will be better." “

Hua Lingchen was walking in front, and seeing that Lin Yanlan was just following, but not speaking, he thought that he must still be blaming himself, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he said softly: "What are you thinking?"

Lin Yanlan had already made up her mind, she was very excited, urged the horse to catch up a few steps, and said, "I thought of an idea, in the future, we can get along every day, cultivate together, and drink together!"

Hua Lingchen's eyes were wonderful, his face turned red, and he said, "What is it?"

"When you see my sister, you can go back to Tianlan Mountain with us, I beg the master to accept you as an apprentice, and we can talk together every day in the future." “

Lin Yanlan thought of this idea, and was very proud in her heart, but when Hua Lingchen heard it, she said coldly: "Thank you! Tianlan Mountain is famous, I don't dare to climb high!"

As he spoke, he clamped his legs and galloped away.

"Hey, ......" Hua Lingchen turned her face when she said it, Lin Yanlan didn't know where she offended her again, so she had to follow up, but she didn't dare to mention it again.

Hua Lingchen rode in front, running for half an hour, the horse slowed down, Hua Lingchen no longer urged, let go of the reins, and let go unhurriedly, Lin Yanlan didn't know the way to Danxue Mountain, and was worried that Hua Lingchen would have another accident in a fit of anger, so he followed her all the way, although he hoped to rush to Danxue Mountain to meet Lu Feiying earlier, but he didn't dare to urge her.

The two of them walked for a few hours without saying a word, afraid that they had run up and down two hundred miles, and the sky was already bright at this time.

Lin Yanlan followed her all the way, but at this time she didn't know where she had gone, only to see that there was a hill in front of her that was not very tall, although the surrounding area was not very desolate, but it was far less prosperous than the surrounding Tianlan Mountain, and it was even worse than Liuhe City.

Not far from the two of them was an ancient town, located under the hills, with about 100 families.

The two of them have walked from late at night to the present, I don't know what road Hua Lingchen chose, everywhere they saw along the way, there were wasteland and ruins, not to mention the town, and they didn't even encounter a similar village.

At this moment, it was already noon, and finally met a complete town in a deserted place, Lin Yanlan felt slightly hungry in her stomach, but she was afraid that Hua Lingchen must be very hungry at this time, so she urged the horse to take a few steps, caught up with her and said: "There is a town in front, why don't we take a rest here, eat something and then leave?"

Since Hua Lingchen was angry with him, he ignored him for a long time, and he was also a little apologetic at this time, and nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

The two urged the horse into the town, and turned two streets in a row, but they did not see a place to eat and rest, and the doors of the houses were closed, and there was a depressed scene.

"It's really a strange thing," Lin Yanlan said, "Along the way, all I saw was either a broken wall, or the homeless people were starving, and there was no place to eat and rest......"

Hua Lingchen said: "What's so strange about this, eight hundred years ago, the world was unified, and the Quartet was determined, but now the Zhou room is declining, Jiuding is not standing, and the etiquette and music are broken, and the people of the world are either arrested or fleeing for refuge, who can afford to do business and live a good life?"

Lin Yanlan couldn't help but sigh: "I just thought that my life was very bitter, but now it seems that I can cultivate in Tianlan Mountain, and I don't know how many people in the world are stronger......

"Escape from the world?" Hua Lingchen said disdainfully, "Do you know what it means to be ruined by Jin Yuqi?"

Lin Yanlanqi said, "How do you say this?"

Hua Lingchen said coldly: "What do you say that cultivators who avoid the world and leave the world, are they not just deceiving the world and stealing their reputation? Although Tianlan Mountain does not ask about the mortal world, it is competing for fame and fortune in the cultivation world, is there still less dirt in the body? You can talk about it in your heart, which of all the thoughts of ordinary people in the world, such as 'power, fame, profit, love, hatred, and suffering', is there something that Tianlan Mountain does not have? Where there are people, there is the earthly world, can you avoid it?"

Lin Yanlan thought secretly: "Let's not talk about the power and fame, the fame and power of Tianlan Mountain are well known, as for the benefits, Lin Yanlan couldn't help but think of the halls on Tianshu Peak that are not exaggerated with their golden brilliance." And love, hatred, bitterness and these emotional things, Master and Uncle and others have practiced for hundreds of years, although they can see through it, but I have it, since I am a person from Tianlan Mountain, naturally I can't say that Tianlan Mountain does not have these...... What she said was irrefutable. “

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hua Lingchen said, "What? Do you dare to say anything 'escape from the world and no quarrel with the world'?"

Lin Yanlan said: "What you said, I naturally can't do it, but after I arrived at Tianlan Mountain, I never heard that the master and the head of the sect had any fights with people, but there were many people who went to Tianlan Mountain to make trouble, and the master was merciful, and they didn't make it difficult, they just drove away the matter, how can they say that they are competing with others for fame and fortune?"

Hua Lingchen said: "Gu is a little good, it is difficult to hide the great evil, no matter how bad the people in this world are, who only does bad things but has not done a few good things? What is there to brag about! In my opinion, in this kind of thing, you masters and uncles are not as good as you. “

Lin Yanlan was puzzled and said, "Why do you always have prejudices against Tianlan Mountain? If my senior brothers and sisters offended you before, I will make amends for you on their behalf." Actually, they're all very good ......."

Hua Lingchen said with a side face: "I don't know your sisters and senior sisters, what do they do when they offend me, they want you to be a good person?"

Lin Yanlan was robbed by her, she only felt that this girl's temperament was really weird, every time she mentioned Tianlan Mountain to her, she wanted to be angry for no reason, she was young, naturally it was impossible to have anything to do with the master, uncle and others, presumably she had some trouble with her own unknown family, and secretly thought that if there was a chance in the future, she should mediate and resolve it.

Lin Yanlan was about to say something, when she suddenly heard the sound of gongs in front of her.

The gong rang sky-high for a while before it stopped, and suddenly there was a lot of shouting, and from a distance, all the shouts were "Burn her, burn her!"

Lin Yanlan was shocked, but Hua Lingchen had already kicked his feet, and rushed in the direction where the voice came from.

The two of them turned a street corner and came to a square in the middle of the town.

At this time, the square was crowded with 100 people, men, women and children, who were just ordinary people in their attire, and among them were more than a dozen strong men with bows and arrows on their backs, standing at the front of the crowd.

From behind, these dozen or so men are much burder than others, with tall bodies and strong muscles, and they look like hunters in the mountains.

In front of these men, there was a five-foot-high platform, and in the middle of the platform stood a stone pillar about three feet high and thick, and everyone looked at the stone pillar.

Lin Yanlan had already seen from a distance that a girl had been tied to the stone pillar, the girl was slender, her long hair was scattered over her shoulders, her body was wrapped in animal skins, her exposed skin was sallow and black, and her face was extremely ugly, not at all like a person from Middle-earth.

At the girl's feet, a pile of dry wood had already been piled up, and two big men were holding torches and standing on both sides of the stone pillar.

The crowd shouted and shouted endlessly.

"Burn her!"

"Burn this monster!"

"Avenge the folks!"

The girl looked timidly at the crowd like a fawn waiting to be killed, her eyes full of indescribable horror and pity, and she sobbed something quietly.

Although Lin Yanlan was far behind by the crowd, he had been cultivating in Tianlan Mountain for three years, after all, he was far from being comparable to ordinary people, and in the noisy voice, he still heard the girl's frightened begging.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me......"

However, these people were furious, and they didn't care what she said.

Lin Yanlan felt sympathetic, and thought to herself, these people are too barbaric, and they are so cruel to a young girl, since this matter was bumped into by me, no matter what, I have to save her.

In the midst of everyone's shouting, a white-haired old man slowly walked up the steps to the stage, stood forward, pressed his hands, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at the old man together.

"Someone. “

The old man shouted, someone had already carried more than a dozen corpses and put them on the stage, and the crowd under the stage was in a commotion, and some people had already lost their voices and wept when they saw the corpses.

Although Lin Yanlan was far away, he was riding on a horse, and from a distance, he saw that the corpses were all mutilated, the flesh and blood were blurred, some lacked hands, some lacked legs, some were hollowed out of their internal organs, and some had no heads at all, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
