Chapter 750: The Old Man in the Back Mountain
"Yes, he sacrificed his life for the country, died heroically, and died." Lin Yi said.
"Then why didn't you tell me the truth of the matter in the first place?" Xie Lingjing glared at Lin Yi and glared angrily.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly: "This is the top secret of the country, if it weren't for the extraordinary relationship between you and your brother, I would definitely not sue you." ”
Xie Lingjing was silent again and didn't speak for a long time.
"Okay, the truth has been told to you, you can go home tomorrow morning." Lin Yi broke the silence and spoke.
Xie Lingjing seemed to have calmed down and said, "I can promise you to go back to accompany my parents, but I will come here after a while to learn from my master and strive to avenge my eldest brother as soon as possible." ”
Lin Yi was embarrassed: "If I knew it, I wouldn't tell you the truth." ”
"If you don't tell me, I'll find out for myself." Xie Lingjing said indifferently.
"I can understand that you want to take revenge, but the other party is not human, and revenge is not as simple as you say, and it is even much more complicated. With your ability, you can't fight them at all. Lin Yi persuaded.
"You don't have to worry about this, I studied with my eldest brother with my master when I was a child, and I learned much faster than my eldest brother. But I believe that one day I will be able to learn the skill of killing Tianao and keep it for my eldest brother. Xie Lingjing said confidently.
Lin Yi was relieved, no wonder he saw Xie Lingjing poking Liu Jun with his finger in the afternoon, because he had been practicing since he was a child. However, no matter how hard he cultivates, with Xie Lingjing's three-legged cat's kung fu, I'm afraid that even Hu Xian'er can't beat it, let alone the terrifying Tianmy.
"You've decided?" Lin Yi couldn't persuade her, so he had to ask.
Xie Lingjing nodded.
"Okay, then take your leave. Excuse me. Lin Yi got up, then turned around and walked out the door.
As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Xie Lingjing say behind him: "Anyway, thank you for today's incident." ”
Lin Yi strode away, waving his hand without looking back: "You're welcome." ”
Coming out of Xie Lingjing's room, Lin Yi walked along the cement road towards the room that Kong Daochang said, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on Lin Yi's body, like crossing a layer of silver, the mountain breeze was blowing, Lin Yi felt extremely comfortable, and his mood was much better. The temperature on the mountain is much higher than at the bottom of the mountain, and even in summer, it does not feel the slightest heat, but rather a coolness.
When I came to the door of the house that Chief Kong Dao said, I only knocked on the door twice, and the door opened.
Chief Kong Dao stood in front of the door and asked with a smile, "Have you already talked to Ling Jing?" ”
Lin Yi nodded.
Kong Daochang didn't ask Lin Yi and Xie Lingjing what they were talking about, but said, "Just talk about it." Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone. After speaking, he had already closed the door and pulled Lin Yi in one direction.
Lin Yi involuntarily followed, puzzled: "Who are you going to see?" ”
"Since you are a monk, you can appear in my celestial observatory, presumably because of fate. I'll take you to meet someone you're destined for. Kong Daochang's words were ambiguous, which made Lin Yi even more confused.
"Daoist Kong, this is only the first time I have come to Tianxiangguan tonight, I'm afraid I don't know anyone except Xie Lingjing and you who just met." Lin Yi hurriedly explained, thinking that Kong Daochang had misunderstood.
Kong Daochang didn't stop walking, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, you'll know later." I have been building the Celestial Phenomena for more than 500 years, and there are very few monks who come here from outside, so if I can meet you in 500 years, isn't it the arrangement of God, and is it not fate? Don't talk about it, you'll know when you get there. ”
Seeing that Kong Daochang refused to speak, Lin Yi didn't ask any more. He could see that Kong Dao had a long face and a good heart, and he didn't look like a person who harmed himself.
The two turned left and right, and to Lin Yi's surprise, they actually went out of the Taoist temple and walked all the way to the hillside behind the Taoist temple.
There is a path on the hillside that looks like a person walked out, and it is full of vegetation and large trees on both sides, which blocks out the moonlight and looks a little eerie.
"You said that the people who are related to me are not in the Taoist temple?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
Kong Daochang smiled and nodded: "He likes seclusion and doesn't want to stay in a crowded place, so he chooses to live in a cave in the back mountain." It's coming soon, come with me. ”
The two of them came to the back mountain along the hillside path for a while, and looking at the big cave in front of them, Lin Yi asked, "In it?" ”
"yes. There are bats in there, follow me. ”
Kong Daochang took Lin Yi into the cave, the cave was pitch black, and the sound of water dripping down could be heard. Lin Yiyun's aura and eyes, the scenery in the cave suddenly saw very clearly. This is somewhat similar to the last cave under the Honghu Lake, all of which are rock caves, the so-called karst landform, the top of the cave is full of stone stalactites, dripping water from the tip one by one, in addition to some black bats hanging upside down on the stone stalactites.
Feeling the sound of human footsteps, the little bats were so frightened that they immediately flew up, and "hulala" flew over the heads of the two of them and flew towards the outside of the cave.
The further he walked in, the more open the terrain became, and after walking for three minutes, Lin Yi saw a faint light in front of him.
"See the light, he's in it." Kong Daochang smiled.
Lin Yi was very puzzled in his heart, who would be the person he wanted to see, living so hidden.
The source of the light is another hole, which is connected to the big hole in front of you, like a small house in a big house. Before the two of them reached the entrance of the cave, Lin Yi heard an old voice from inside: "Who is it?" Xiao Liu? ”
Although the voice was old, it was very rich, and the aftermath echoed in the cave for a long time. made Lin Yi can't help but guess the characters in it through his voice.
Could it be an old man, but his voice seems to be very powerful and heavy, could it be that he is also a monk?
"Senior brother, it's me." Kong Dao said loudly, and led Lin Yi into the cave with a smile.
The cave is like a small room with a single family, about 20 square meters, except for a bed, a table, and only a straw mat.
On the table are old butter candles, one that is said to last for days. And on the straw mat at this time, an old man with crane hair and a childish face is being made.
His hair, beard, and eyebrows were all white, and those eyebrows were much longer than those of the holes, hanging down to his chin. However, he is not as thin as Kong Daochang, although he sits, he still looks burly and tall, Lin Yi estimates that he is at least a meter eight when he stands up.
The nose is high, the eye sockets are deep, and from the two eyes there is an extremely sharp light.
"Senior brother, you're here. Who is this? The old man spoke, still in the same deep and loud voice as he had just spoken.
"This is Lin Yi. He is twenty-three years old. Kong Daochang said with a smile, looking at the old man's reaction.
The old man's expression changed sharply when he heard this, and he began to look at Lin Yi carefully. Swept by the old man's gaze, Lin Yi felt that the ** in his heart seemed to be exposed to the old man, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate a qiē.
"Young man, are you the fifth layer of the Agility Period?" The old man retracted his gaze and asked directly, startling Lin Yi.
It was really terrifying that this old man could see his cultivation so accurately at a glance.
But before he could speak, the old man spoke again: "But it's strange, your aura seems to be different from ordinary people's cultivation, what sect are you from?" ”
Lin Yi was even more surprised, not knowing how to answer. Kong Daochang explained with a smile: "This is my senior brother, five hundred and twenty-three years old this year, just answer the questions he asks you, don't worry. ”
Lin Yi had to smile bitterly: "Back to my predecessors, in fact, I don't know what sect I have, because the previous two masters only taught me for a month or two, and then occasionally, I learned a cultivation method." Some of the circumstances of the sect are recorded in the exercises, and it is a sect called Tianmenjiao. ”
The old man was shocked when he heard this, and his original calmness and calm disappeared completely, replaced by shock and incredulity. An extremely complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Then is the exercise you practicing taught by the master?" ”
"Yes." Lin Yi didn't understand why the old man was so excited, but he still answered truthfully.
"What's your name?"
"His name is Yun Jitian, and he is also the creator of this exercise." Lin Yi said.
Hearing Lin Yi's words, the old man immediately burst out laughing and said with emotion: "It's really unimaginable, there are also descendants of the Tianmen Sect alive today, it's really heaven's will!" ”
Lin Yi's heart moved: "Do you know my master who has never met?" ”
"Where do I know such a towering figure, I've just heard of it. At that time, I was only in my forties, not long after I first stepped into the road of monasticism, at that time, the Tianmen Sect was famous in the monastic world, and the disciples were all over China, but later with the disappearance of Yun Zhangmen, and after a large-scale struggle within the sect, the Tianmen Sect finally declined, until it completely disappeared, and I also heard what others said. The old man explained with a smile.
Lin Yi was relieved, he didn't expect to meet a monk who had heard of the Tianmen Sect here, it seemed that even if he failed to convince Xie Lingjing this time, it would not be a trip in vain.
"Is Master Yun still alive now?" The old man asked kindly.
Lin Yi shook his head: "It's gone." ”
"I haven't heard from him for so many years, and I don't think he's gone anymore." The old man nodded, and then asked Kong Daochang: "Senior brother, do you know that he is the apprentice of the Yun Sect and sent him to me?" ”
Kong Daochang smiled dumbly: "Senior brother misunderstood. Like my brother, I just learned about this. However, I heard that Master Xiaolin had left, and he was also a cultivation wizard who was rare to see in a hundred years, so I wanted to bring it to Senior Brother to see if Senior Brother could accept him as an apprentice. ”
Lin Yi couldn't say a word when he heard this, although he felt that the strength of the old man in front of him was unfathomable, and it was more than enough to be his own master, but Kong Daochang wanted to apprentice by himself without his consent, which didn't seem to be what a person in the Dao Sect should do.
Therefore, he endured a trace of displeasure in his heart and said, "Chief Kong Dao, this doesn't seem to be right, right?" After all, I already have three masters. ”
