Chapter 40: Man-made Woes
For half a month, everyone in the Su family was immersed in the joy of the martial arts meeting's victory.
The development of Hakutetsu Mountain and Mt. Tenku is in full swing.
Chunfen won the right to transport the third section of Changjiang, and according to the prior agreement, the little girl was officially recognized as a member of the clan, and at the same time, she also obtained the authority of "principal".
Everything is in a state of gratification, as if this is the best result in the world.
"Qin Lin hasn't been out yet?"
Under the cover of night, Su Huan came to the Alchemy Hall.
Qin Lin has entered a state of long-term retreat since the end of the martial arts meeting.
The disciples of the Su family collected a lot of good medicinal materials from Tianjiu Mountain, and they were all waiting for Qin Lin to refine the martial arts pill for them.
"Well, it may be a few days before it comes out. ”
Chunfen took a broom and swept the floor in the courtyard while responding to Su Huan.
"I can't afford to lose my face. ”
Su Huan glanced at Chunfen.
"What's wrong?" the little girl looked innocent.
"You are so lazy now that you are also the head of my Su family, and your authority is great, second only to the elders, and you are still sweeping the floor here. ”
Su Huan was disgusted, turned around and prepared to leave the Alchemy Hall.
Chunfen didn't argue, she was indeed used to being a servant, and the position of being the head of the matter was just a name, and she didn't have the actual power to interfere in any of the Su family's affairs.
Boom -
Just as Su Huan stepped out of the gate of the Alchemy Hall, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the courtyard.
"Brother......
Chunfen was shocked.
The explosion came from Qin Lin's room.
Su Huan immediately followed the sound of the explosion, and soon saw that Qin Lin's room was burning with flames.
"What's going on?"
Su Huan was surprised and kicked open the door.
Just looking at the room, Qin Lin was sitting cross-legged, still in a state of deep cultivation, completely unaffected by the flames.
No, it's not!
It's not that it's not affected by the flames, it's that the flames can't get close to Qin Lin at all.
"Brother!" Chunfen pounced on Qin Lin in fear.
She was not as experienced as Su Huan, and she couldn't detect that the flames had been blocked by the martial energy released by Qin Lin.
"Do you want to kill Qin Lin?"
Su Huan grabbed Chunfen.
If the deep cultivation state is disturbed, it is easy to die.
"Don't worry, these burns can't hurt Qin Lin. ”
Su Huan explained to Chunfen.
But in fact, she was also puzzled in her heart.
She was curious about what kind of cheats Qin Lin was cultivating, and he could actually produce active defense in a state of deep cultivation.
This is a technique that a martial artist dreams of.
After all, the biggest threat to deep cultivation is external influence, and with this active defense, external threats are not considered threats.
Half an hour later, the disciples of the Su family extinguished the fire.
The whole process was as quiet as possible, but no matter how quiet it was, chaos would inevitably occur, but Qin Lin's deep cultivation continued all the time and was not affected in the slightest.
"The secret book that Elder Qin Lin cultivated should be a top-grade secret book, otherwise, it would never be so powerful. ”
Elder Su Lu of the Praetorian Guard Hall had also come to Qin Lin's room at this time.
The old guy exclaimed.
He understood better than Su Huan that this was not the defense of some martial power, but the defense of the power of the enchantment.
In other words, there was an invisible barrier outside of Qin Lin's body, which could isolate the outside world.
"This kind of martial arts old man has only seen in ancient books, but I didn't expect that Lin'er would actually be. ”
It was the five elders who spoke.
For his grandson Qin Lin, the five elders had too many surprises.
In the blink of an eye, it was another three days.
The deep cultivation made Qin Lin's Yuan Shen more and more tired, and finally he stopped cultivating and slowly opened his eyes.
"What's the situation?"
Seeing that his room was in a mess, Qin Lin was surprised.
But soon he would be able to understand - "It must be because of the 'Heavenly Cover Technique'. ”
The Heavenly Cover Formula, recorded in the "Mixed Yuan Xuantian Decision", is the same as the "Qi Filling Formula" for strengthening the cultivation of martial arts.
It's just that the qi filling trick is to absorb the martial qi from the outside world, while the heavenly cover trick is the opposite, it is actively released.
The reason why Qin Lin was in retreat and cultivating the "Heavenly Cover Technique" was to improve his defensive strength.
At the martial arts meeting, after he performed the "One Vein Sword Technique", the remnant sword in his hand was completely shattered, if there was no cold iron armor, it would be almost impossible for him to defeat Lin Chuyu.
Whether it's cold iron armor or a broken sword, it's an external weapon, not itself.
Qin Lin didn't want his strength to be constrained by weapons, so he had to make himself strong enough to defend himself.
The Heavenly Cover Technique is undoubtedly the strongest defensive force in the world.
Moreover, if you use the Heavenly Cover Technique and the Qi Filling Technique together, you can absorb the opponent's strength while resisting the opponent's attacks.
"This 'Heavenly Cover Technique' is really difficult to cultivate, and it took almost twenty days to complete the first stage of cultivation. ”
Qin Lin was a little helpless.
Especially after seeing Chunfen, he was even more helpless.
Chunfen has not slackened at all in these twenty days, she is still cultivating diligently, and at this time, she has reached the sevenfold realm of martial disciples, and her cultivation realm is the same as Qin Lin's.
"Brother, brother, you're finally out of the customs. ”
When Chunfen saw Qin Lin, she immediately rushed forward and threw herself into Qin Lin's arms.
Qin Lin stroked her head: "Come out, I'm tired to death." ”
"It's definitely going to be tired, it's been eighteen days, brother, you don't eat or drink, although you have martial arts to strengthen your body, but it's too torturous to your body. ”
Chunfen couldn't help but feel distressed.
Afterwards, the little girl immediately rushed to the kitchen to get Qin Lin something to eat.
Qin Lin left the customs, and the news quickly spread in the Su Mansion.
Everyone was waiting for Qin Lin to refine the elixir.
And among them, there is a very strange expression.
It's none other than the young son of the Su family, Su Yong.
Su Yong's cultivation at this time had gradually recovered, and this was also thanks to Qin Lin's pills and other credits.
It's just that Su Yong's hatred for Qin Lin is indelible.
His father Su Hu was pulled down from the position of head of the family by Qin Lin, and his brother Su Chang was imprisoned in the Su family prison by Qin Lin, coupled with the hatred accumulated before, Su Yong dreamed of eating Qin Lin's flesh and blood.
When he heard that Qin Lin was out of the customs, he quietly left the Su family without anyone noticing.
Where is he going?
The answer is the Scorching Sun Gate.
Qin Lin's long retreat made it difficult for the Scorching Sun Gate to assassinate him.
After all, the cost of rushing into the Su family's mansion to kill people is a bit high, so the idea of the Liesun Gate is to let Qin Lin out of the mansion.
And the key to this is Su Yong.
In the main city of Changzhou, no one knows Su Yong's virtues.
Bullying and dominating the market, and cowardly as a mouse, completely bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
Coupled with the festival between Su Yong and Qin Lin, the well-informed Lieri Gate naturally knew about it, so they threatened Su Yong's life with the cold blade, and let Su Yong choose, either cooperate with the Scorching Sun Gate to assassinate Qin Lin, or die!
There is no doubt that Su Yong chose the former.
"No matter how powerful Qin Lin is, it is impossible to defeat the Scorching Sun Gate, it is the most terrifying killer organization in the Changzhou realm, even Qin Bailuo is a little afraid. ”
Thinking so, Su Yong followed the instructions of the Liesun Gate and began what he thought was a revenge.
Dawn broke the next day.
The sky was still dark.
A fast horse galloped outside the main city, and soon, the sound of horses' hooves spread into the main city, into the Su family's mansion, and into Su Huan's ears.
That's right, the fast horse went straight to Su Huan's residence.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, absolutely no one would have been able to ride straight to Su Huan's residence like this.
"Head of the family, it's not good, something is wrong!"
The man on horseback almost rolled down, almost hitting his face on the ground.
His panicked shouts were particularly piercing in the quiet dawn.
"What's so alarming?"
Su Huan was draped in a red robe, obviously not having time to tidy up his clothes.
"The head of the family, Tianjiu Mountain, Tianjiu Mountain is burned, and the north mountain is all burned......"
The disciple who rolled off the horse's back knelt on the ground, and when he spoke, he was already crying.
Su Huan suddenly looked frightened.
The crisp eyes stared at the disciple for a long time before he suddenly spoke: "You, what did you say?"
"It's burned, last night on the third watch, Tianjiu Mountain suddenly caught fire, and the disciples in charge of mining have burned six people to death in order to put out the fire, but the fire has always been difficult to control......"
The disciple slammed his head on the ground.
Su Huan is a strong girl, at least in the eyes of most people, it is difficult to find a stronger girl than Su Huan.
But at this moment, Su Huan was already groggy, and his feet fell to the ground with difficulty in supporting him.
She must know that once Tianjiu Mountain burns, the loss of Tianjiu Mountain's herbal medicine resources is a trivial matter, and it is a major matter to provoke the Qin clan's questioning.
After all, Tianjiu Mountain is the Qin clan's industry.
The Su family only has the right to mine for four years, and now that the mountain is burning, the Qin family will definitely punish it severely.
"Quick, gather everyone, everyone go to the council hall, ...... quickly"
Su Huan was a little unsupportable.
After a stick of incense, the six elders of the Su family, as well as Su Moxibustion, together with more than 300 core members of the Su family, all rushed to the meeting hall.
Su Huan did not change his clothes.
She wears a white undershirt underneath and a red robe draped over the outside.
"What to do?
She panicked, after all, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl.
Several elders had ugly faces.
The faces of the Su family were even more despaired.
Qin Lin sat on the Taishi chair, also pensive.
Will Mt. Amaki burn?
This was the doubt in Qin Lin's mind.
As Emperor Dan, Qin Lin may not be very clear about other things, but about herbs, he couldn't be clearer.
Tianjiu Mountain can be called the medicine mountain because of its unique soil quality and the water contained in the whole mountain.
This is not ordinary moisture.
Instead, it volatilizes in the air, invisible or intangible, but diffuses moisture that cannot be dispersed.
In such an environment, everything is moist and there is no dryness, so where does the fire come from?
Unless, someone deliberately set the fire.
