Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Martial Palace
While Lin Chen was thinking nonsense, Wang Xinchan, who was sitting silently next to him, said slowly: "Now that the master has been assassinated and killed unexplained, since the government can't find the murderer, we will report it to the Wudian to investigate, and we must find out the real murderer and avenge the master!"
"Martial Palace?" Lin Chen heard another unfamiliar name.
"That's right, hand it over to the Martial Palace, it must be thoroughly investigated!" Chu Wu wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth.
As soon as Lin Chen saw that both of them knew, he knew if it was a secret, and asked suspiciously, "What is this martial palace?"
Chu Wu thought that he had stepped forward earlier and threatened the Bronze Bone Sect with Zhao Longyang, and he felt a little less prejudiced against him in his heart, and said: "The Martial Palace is the Martial Arts Temple that manages all the sects in the world, and the big and small matters of each sect can be found to help with the Martial Palace, but you need some money." ”
"So, the Martial Hall is the largest martial arts sect?"
Chu Wu nodded, "It is said that the Martial Palace has collected all the secret books of the martial arts in the world, whether it is fingering, fisting, or internal strength, there are everything!
When Lin Chen heard the 'Easy Sword Master', some relevant memories suddenly appeared in his mind, even a person like his predecessor who had no interest in martial arts practice, he also knew some of the deeds of the Easy Sword Master, and it could be said that he was one of the most dazzling big names in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the old and weak women and children all knew it.
"The Martial Palace is so powerful?" Lin Chen's heart moved, and he was about to ask what the requirements for joining the Martial Palace were, but suddenly he thought that he was still mourning Zhou Yunshen at the moment, if he let them know that he was determined to leave the Cloud Tiger Gate, he would probably not give himself a good look.
"This matter is reported to the Martial Palace, and let the Martial Palace help investigate thoroughly, which requires a lot of silver taels. Wang Xinchan glanced at Lin Chen and said, "Senior Brother Lin, now that the door is empty, there is no savings, you can pay this money in advance, and I will pay it back to you next month." ”
Lin Chen's eyebrows twitched.
Pay for someone to chase yourself?
He quickly reacted and said: "It hurts my feelings to say that I will pay back the money, as an apprentice, this is what I should do, I don't know how much silver I need?"
Wang Xinchan saw that he was bold, his expression softened slightly, thought for a while, and said, "About thirty taels." ”
"So many?" Lin Chen was speechless, "Is this a robbery?"
Wang Xinchan sighed: "We are just a small sect, thirty taels is not too little, if something happens to the disciples of the main sect, please ask the martial hall for help, at least it needs to be tripled!"
Lin Chen said with a bitter face: "Although I have money, my family gives me a share of ten taels of silver every month, but I'm afraid it's not enough." ”
"If it's not enough, I can make up the rest. Wang Xinchan glanced at him and said, "If Senior Brother Lin is willing to ask for a little from the family, it would be better, but it really doesn't work, I will sell a few weapons on the practice ground first, and then go to a few masters who have a good relationship with the master to borrow some." ”
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Lin Chen simply agreed decisively, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, the money is on me, as long as I stretch out my hand, the family will definitely give me money." ”
Wang Xinchan nodded slightly, "Then it's troublesome Senior Brother Lin." ”
"Will this martial arts hall definitely be able to track down the murderer, will it take the money and do nothing?" Lin Chen asked again.
Wang Xinchan shook his head slightly, and said, "It's hard to say, but the people they sent to investigate are all martial artists who know a lot of exercises, and they may be able to deduce from the injured parts of the master who are from which sect and sect the attacker is." ”
Lin Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the bargain of thirty taels did not seem to be reliable.
"Find the matter of the Martial Palace, the sooner the better, we will go tomorrow. Wang Xinchan said slowly: "I'll write a few letters later, Senior Brother Wu and Little Senior Sister, you send the letter to the master and borrow some money from them." ”
Wu Yan and Chu Wu snorted.
"Senior Brother Lin, you should also do it as soon as possible......" Wang Xinchan glanced at him.
Lin Chen nodded vigorously, looking obligatory.
"When the people from the martial hall come to inspect the master's body, they will bury the master. Wang Xinchan looked at the coffin in front of him, with a little reluctance in his eyes, and sighed.
Lin Chen saw that he didn't seem to have much sadness, and asked suspiciously: "Senior brother, you don't seem to be sad?"
Wang Xinchan was silent for a while, and said: "Once you enter the martial arts, you will forget about life and death, we step into the martial arts, pursue the realm of extreme martial arts, we should put life and death aside, I think the master should also be prepared for this." ”
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that this senior brother was a martial arts idiot, thinking that everyone practiced martial arts to pursue the strongest martial arts realm, but he didn't know that most people practiced martial arts in order to compete for fame and fortune, or to improve their lives.
Thinking of Zhou Yunshen's unwilling appearance before his death, he sighed in his heart, this master is not as conscious as his own apprentice, this Yunhumen is really restraining this genius senior brother.
"Second Senior Sister is traveling, do you know where she went?" Wang Xinchan suddenly asked again.
"A few months ago, the second senior sister wrote that it seemed that she had temporarily settled in Winter Snow City. Chu Wu's eyes turned red, and she said, "She probably doesn't know that the master has passed away, and I have to write a letter to go to Winter Snow City." ”
Wang Xinchan snorted, and then stopped talking.
In the afternoon of the same day.
Chu Wu and Wu Yan went out together to deliver a letter to the head of the sect that Zhou Yunshen had befriended.
In the evening, the two turned back one after another, and when they saw them, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Wu Yan, "Senior Brother Wu, are you injured?"
Wu Yan's face obviously had bruises on his fist, he covered his face, covered his face, and waited for Senior Brother Wang Xinchan to come, then he reluctantly let go of his hand and said, "Senior brother, the three heads I went to visit all said that they had no money. ”
Wang Xinchan raised his eyebrows, and a little cold flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "What's the matter with your injury?"
Wu Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "When I visited the Sword Fist Gate, not only did they borrow money, but they also laughed at me, so I reasoned with them, and then they bullied more and ...... less."
The cold light in Wang Xinchan's eyes flashed again, like a dagger in the night, and he clenched his fists slightly.
"These despicable guys!" Chu Wu gritted his teeth.
Wang Xinchan glanced at her and said, "You didn't borrow it either?"
When Chu Wu heard this, he was immediately angry, and said: "As soon as these masters heard about borrowing money, their faces immediately changed, and they drove me out without saying a word, it's so hateful, they obviously just see that the master is gone, and they think we are easy to bully!"
Wang Xinchan was silent.
"Little junior sister, you can take Senior Brother Wu to apply some medicine first. Lin Chen said on the side, "I'll figure out a way tomorrow when it comes to money." ”
Chu Wu glanced at him, didn't say anything, and accompanied Wu Yan to take the medicine.
Lin Chen patted Wang Xinchan on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, you should rest early, this matter is not in a hurry, I will go to the house tomorrow to ask for a look." ”
Wang Xinchan remained silent.
Lin Chen glanced at him, no longer persuaded him, turned around and left, returned to the room with the gun, continued to practice the palm technique, and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Next.
Early in the morning, before Lin Chen could wake up naturally, he was awakened by a loud laughter like a tiger's roar.
When he listened carefully, he immediately raised his eyebrows, it was actually the sword fist that injured Wu Yan yesterday.
After changing his clothes, Lin Chen quickly went out and saw more than a dozen people standing on the martial arts training ground, three of whom were Senior Brother, Chu Wu and Wu Yan. The other seven or eight, all dressed in similar clothes, embroidered on their chests were a fist pierced by a sword, which was the symbol of the sword fist.
"Senior nephew Wang, I heard that my dear friend Brother Zhou died, we specially came to mourn, let's take a look at Brother Zhou's remains!" The first middle-aged man with a long body with thick arm muscles said with a smile, without any sadness on his face, and he didn't even bother to pretend.
Wang Xinchan's face was gloomy, and he said, "The account of you who injured my junior brother yesterday has not been calculated, and you still dare to come to the door!"
"What are these words of Senior Nephew Wang, I have an acquaintance with your master, do you speak to your elders like this?" Li Gang smiled: "I heard that you also signed up for next month's Zhenyin competition, and now that Brother Zhou is deceased, how can you do it alone, why don't we help you!"
