Chapter 3: The Midnight Trickster

On the way back, Ye Chunyu and Lin Derivation were very silent and didn't say a word.

Lin Zhizhi's face showed obvious uneasiness along the way.

"Master, Master will be fine...... Right? ”

Finally, seeing that the door of the medical hall had appeared in front of him, Lin Derivation couldn't help but ask weakly.

Lin Derivation's voice was very weak, not so much asking, but trying to find some comfort from Shi Niang.

He faintly felt that this time, the master was afraid that he would be more than lucky.

"......" Ye Chunyu didn't answer, but his eyes wandered, as if his soul was out of his body, he pushed the door stiffly, ignored Lin Zhen, and walked straight into the room.

Lin Zhen, who was left standing in place, looked more and more gray.

"Huh...... Obviously he has stayed away from the strife, but he still can't escape the calamity......" It's just that at the moment of entering the door, Ye Chunyu let out such a low murmur, a murmur that no one knew what it meant.

Hearing this, Lin Sheng, who had straight eyes, was suddenly stunned.

Stay away from strife? What do you mean?

However, this brief doubt disappeared in a flash, and Lin Cheng soon continued to worry about the situation of Qingyu.

It's just that, with his current strength, he can really only worry about his master.

Ye Chunyu returned to the room with a low cry, while Lin Derivation sat in a daze, silently praying for Qingyu in a sense of powerlessness that almost overwhelmed his soul.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of too much of what happened to me, or because today's training is too tired, Lin Derivation sat down for a long time, and an inexplicable sense of powerlessness suddenly surged into Lin Derivation's mind like a tide, making his already worried thoughts even more muddy, and before he knew it, his mind was groggy and fell to the ground.

However, he didn't notice that Ye Chunyu's door quietly opened a gap at this time, Ye Chunyu stood behind the door, and the previous gloom on her pretty face had dissipated without a trace at this time, replaced by a slightly cold calm.

She touched her lips with one hand and held a small incense burner with the other, on which the cigarette curled and smelled intoxicating.

"Something...... Since you can't make up your mind, then I'll have to help you. Ye Chunyu looked at the little guy who had been dazed to death, and let out a pleasant self-mutter.

After a while, Ye Chunyu's beautiful eyes swept to the side and said softly, "You can do it!" ”

"Whew!"

Beside him, a dark shadow flashed away.

Lin Cheng slept very unsteadily, and in his sleep, he seemed to dream of the bits and pieces of their family getting along and the slightest bit of joy in the past.

However, as soon as the style of painting changed, he seemed to see Qingyu being broken and imprisoned in Zhang's house in Zifeng City, and being tortured.

"Master!"

That bloody appearance made Lin Yuan's heart tremble, like a heart of ten thousand swords, he wanted to rush over to rescue Qingyu, but no matter how hard he ran forward, the distance between him and Qingyu was never closer.

Lin Derivation could see the look of panic on Qingyu's face.

But at this moment, an invisible huge force suddenly appeared out of thin air, rushing his body out of the air, and at the same time, pulling Qingyu's body back.

"Master!!"

Lin Yuan let out a heart-rending roar as he watched Qingyu get farther and farther away from him, until he fell into the deep invisible darkness.

"Master...... Master......"

If a heavy stone pressed against him, Lin Zheng writhed restlessly on the ground.

"Smack!"

After some time, a palm shrouded in shadows began to slap Lin Derivation's shoulder, trying to wake him up.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes groggily and swept to the side blankly.

Then, the pupils of the eyes shrank!

Because in the darkness beside him, a shadow was gently wriggling.

"You ......"

Lin Derivation's sleepiness was suddenly dispersed, and he just wanted to ask out loud, but for no reason, he felt a chill to his bones, which made him swallow the words that had reached his mouth alive.

Two shadowy rays of light shot out from the black shadow, like the eyes of a poisonous snake, causing Lin Cheng to freeze directly in place, and every muscle in his body was trembling incessantly in the extreme coldness.

That shadow seemed to be some peerless beast, leaving only endless fear and fear in Lin Yuan's heart!

A huge pressure emanated from above the black shadow, making Lin Cheng feel as if he had been added by Wan Yue, and his body was lying straight on the ground, unable to move.

"Little Guy ......"

A deep voice rang in his ears at the same moment.

β€œβ€¦ Who..."

Lin Cheng turned his head a little stiffly, only to see that the black shadow didn't know when it was floating in the air, and when he looked closely, he found that it seemed to be a man dressed in black, no need to ask, the voice just now was naturally made by him.

The man was slender, but his face was a slightly calm and chaotic blue color, coupled with the black robe in the dark, at first glance, it looked like a hanging ghost fire.

Streams of heavy pressure came from the man's body, and the limbs of Lin Zhi, who was directly pressed, were numb.

"Hehe, it's not good to watch Master being arrested today, right?"

The man in black stared at Lin Wei with a pair of glittering eyes, and smiled sarcastically.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing this, although Lin Derivation was speechless, his eyes instantly became fierce.

The words of the man in black undoubtedly poked the softest and helpless part of his heart.

"What the hell are you ......," Lin said hoarsely.

"You don't care who I am, I just ask you, do you want to save your master?"

Or ...... Do you want to avenge him? ”

The black-robed man laughed twice: "Of course, you can also take your pretty lady and run away directly tonight?"

As he spoke, the man in black suddenly slapped his palm on Lin Derivation's shoulder.

With a palm, Lin Yuan's body made a soft "poof" sound.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Cheng changed color, what does this man in black want to do?

"Don't be nervous, I'm just erasing the dark energy that the old man left in you today." The man in black's voice was still low: "If this dark energy breaks out, you will definitely bleed to death!" ”

Lin Zhen's face changed color again, and he thought about it carefully, the old man named Zhang Juntan did pat him on the shoulder today, and his feelings were to kill him directly?

It is conceivable that if what the man in black said is true, once this dark energy breaks out, he will inevitably die at home, and who will know that it is Zhang Junxi's black hand at that time?

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Zhang Junxi's methods are really ruthless!

"You haven't answered my question yet, do you want revenge?" The man in black spoke again.

"I think! How are you going to do it?! ”

His eyes changed violently for a long time, and Lin Yuan pursed his lips and said hoarsely.

He is not a teenager who has nothing to do, such a thing happened today, he can guess that in the future, the Zhang family will inevitably cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and even with the beauty of the master, what will happen, he doesn't dare to imagine it at all.

But what could he do? Before such a behemoth as the Zhang family, now he is as small as dust.

He desperately needs strength, the power to change everything.

Although, Lin Derivation also knows that there is no free lunch in the world, although this man in black doesn't know where it comes from and what he wants, if he can really give him the power he craves, he will admit what to do!

"Huh...... What do you want? Come with me...... Keeping up will give you a chance. ”

The black-robed man didn't say much, just gave an order and walked towards the outside of the room.

Although the person is gone, the pressure is still there. pressed on Lin Derivation.

Even though his body was extremely sore, thinking of the words of the man in black and thinking of the desolate situation of today's clear rain, Lin Yuan's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and forcibly straightened up, and followed the body of the man in black step by step.

Click!

Along the way, Lin's bones kept colliding under the pressure, making him stiff, but still stubbornly following behind.

Da ...... Da ...... Da ......

The man walked slowly, and after a few breaths, he stopped in the corridor where the outer hall and the inner room met, stretched out his palm, and pressed it against the wall.

Buzz –

I saw that the bright light on the palm of the man in black was surging lightly, and the wall of the corridor that Lin had walked through for more than ten years was actually revealing a white light at this moment.

Boom –

The white light was frivolous, and it immediately expanded, and a sound of masonry friction sounded, and in Lin Zhen's eyes that were magnified to the extreme, the wall actually cracked a stone door that was just enough for people to pass, and in the stone door, the azure light gushed out wantonly.

Lin Yuan looked at this scene in a daze, but the remaining will in his brain couldn't let him know what all this was?

"Go in......" the black-robed man said coldly.

"What kind of place is this? How could I have such a place in my house? Lin Cheng didn't enter immediately, but asked in a hoarse voice.

He's lived here for more than ten years, but he never knew there was such a place at home.

Bang!

But the man in black didn't pay attention to him at all, and with a direct wave of his hand, an invisible force sent Lin Derivation into the secret room!

Boom –

The next moment, the stone door closed, the white light disappeared, and everything returned to silence as if nothing had happened.

It's just that at the end of the corridor, Ye Chunyu's shadow quietly emerged, and two pieces of dark gold flowed wantonly in her eyes, replacing the pair of watery soft eyes in the past, but also adding a bit of indifference and mysterious charm to Ye Chunyu at this moment.

A mysterious and profound aura flowed on Ye Chunyu's body.

Indescribably deep golden eyes looked at the black-robed man, Ye Chunyu first nodded lightly, then looked at the corridor that had returned to the stone wall, and sighed lightly.

"Let's move on to the next step......"

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The stone chamber was filled with dazzling, deep and majestic blue light like the sea!

Lin Wei looked ahead with some blankness, and in the place where the blue light was at its highest, a stone platform stood quietly.

On the stone platform, there was a bead that emitted an incomparably brilliant blue light, the bead was about half the size of Lin Fu's fist, and it was radiating a divine glow in the darkness.

"This bead...... Be...... The one on me? ”

Lin Yuan muttered, he subconsciously touched into his arms, and picked up the spirit bead that had been beside him for more than ten years.

I don't know if it's some special induction, this time, the spirit bead in his hand actually began to emit a little light blue light, and the azure light on the two spirit beads flashed, reflecting each other.

He looked carefully at the spirit bead on the stone platform, the bead was crystal clear, and the blue light on it was faint, as vast as the sea, and as unfathomable as the starry sky.

Compared with the two, it seems that these two are indeed similar, but the breath of the one on the stone platform is even worse.

Lin Cheng stared at this spirit bead for a few breaths, thought about it again, and decided to step forward to take a look.

He had a hunch that this thing in his house might not be so simple.

Lin Cheng held his spirit bead in his hand and began to slowly move towards it.

I don't know if it's an illusion, the closer I got to the bead, under the thicker and thicker blue light, Lin Cheng felt like he was soaking in a pool of clear water, which was extremely refreshing.

The originally apprehensive heart slowly recovered under this washing, and a trace of strength began to re-emerge in the tired body.

But at the same time, the spirit pearl in Lin Yuan's hand also began to become more and more brilliant, and the surface of the bead began to slowly heat up.

Whoosh –

However, when the two got close to a certain distance, the spirit bead in Lin Yuan's hand suddenly trembled, as if it had been summoned by something, and it actually floated directly, and it slammed into the spirit bead on the stone platform with a whoosh.

"Ahh

Lin Derivation exclaimed, you know, this spirit bead has been hanging around his neck, and when it rushes like this, it undoubtedly crashes directly into the stone platform with Lin Derivation's body!

Bang!

With a bang, the two spirit beads collided together, and Lin Derivation's head also hit the stone pillar hard, and one palm subconsciously reached the table!

Rumble!

But at the moment when Lin Zhi's palm touched the two spirit beads, on the beads, blue divine light gushed out like a sea tide, and in an instant, the entire secret room was as bright as day!

"Ahh

Streams of blue light frantically poured into Lin Derivation's body, and the power was so great that Lin Derivation's body had a sense of tearing in an instant, and he immediately screamed.

Waves of indescribable power poured into Lin Derivation's body, and then burst out brutally, the impact was unimaginable.

"Poof!"

A mouthful of pitch-black blood gushed out from Lin Yuan's mouth without warning, but before he could react, the sharp pain hit again, knocking him to his knees in pain, covering his lower abdomen and mouth tightly, and at the same time trying to use his vitality to suppress the blue light in his body.

But it didn't work, Lin's cultivation was really just a drop in the ocean compared to the power that poured into his body.

Streams of subtle and condensed vitality are in his meridians, blood vessels, and bones...... and even every corner of his body, as if he was going to crush him into powder inside and out!

"Gross!"

At a certain moment, Lin Yuan's mouth suddenly opened and began to vomit wildly, not only in his mouth, but also with layers of slimy and stinky sweat flowing out of his body, like blackened sludge.

At the same time, the surface of his skin began to turn black and red, and it was the blood in his body that was spilling through his pores!

Thump.........

After a few breaths, Lin Zhen, who was tortured by this power and could no longer bear it, turned black and almost fainted in pain.

"That's all you can do? If you can't pass this level, how can you avenge your master? ”

And just when Lin Yuan's consciousness was scattered and he was about to faint, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears, waking him up.

It was the voice of the man in black!

"In the world of martial arts, the strong are respected, you want to take revenge, except to become stronger, except to pursue strength and embark on the road of martial arts, there is no other way to go!"

"The road of martial arts is to fight for life with the sky, the thorns of life and death coexist with the opportunity to challenge the number, there is no great perseverance, those who are firm in the heart of the Tao cannot go, if you are so unbearable, what kind of martial arts are you talking about?"

"If you do something like this again, you can only bow down in front of that Zhang Junxi and beg for mercy!"

The words of the man in black became colder and colder, and the mockery in them became stronger and stronger, and the thunderous words made Lin Yuan's originally somewhat dilated pupils begin to slowly recover.

And then, gradually scarlet!

There seemed to be some kind of strange bewitching power in the words of the man in black, which made Lin Sheng's eyes seem to appear today's scene.

In fact, when the master was taken away before, he wanted to stop him, but he also knew that he couldn't stop it.

Not to mention the unfathomable Three Elders and the circle of Quenching Blood Realm martial artists, even that Zhang Junxi, they can easily kill themselves.

So after Shi Niang stopped him, he still kept his sanity after all.

That was certainly smart enough, at least to everyone in the room.

Because even if the Zhang family doesn't take care of this matter, but strength is the biggest truth!

Even though he had the courage to rush out at that time and persuade Zhang Junxi with reason, would the other party ignore him?

Of course not, that would only make one more corpse in the field at that time.

Therefore, Lin Sheng's forbearance at that time was very wise, at least Zhang Junxi would not attack him openly because of his face.

But wisdom is not necessarily the right one.

For example, he is now suffering from mountains of remorse and ...... because of that choice Humiliation.

Zhang Junxi......

Zhang Junxi's handsome face with a faint smile appeared in Lin Derivation's heart, and a demonic cold light slowly condensed in his empty eyes.

At this moment, a resentment called "tyranny" and "resentment" that Lin had never had in his thirteen years of life took root like weeds in his heart, almost filling his entire heart.

"What if...... I must embark on this path in order to take revenge and protect the people I care about, so what's the harm if I have ten thousand blades!? ”

"What am I afraid of fighting for my life with the sky?"

The viciousness and distortion in his heart exploded in an instant, and Lin Yuan looked up at the sky and roared sadly!

The idea of hatred and protection intersected, and Lin Yuan's already dissipated will suddenly sparked, and at this moment, the sharp pain that almost exploded his body no longer made his consciousness collapse even the slightest!

But...... His reason was gradually eroded under this severe pain.

Click-boom-boom-boom-

The stone door of the secret room suddenly opened at this moment, and the misty starlight entered, attracting Lin Zhi's attention.

"Roarβ€”"

Being tortured by severe pain and hatred for a long time, the remaining reason could not allow him to make an accurate judgment at all, Lin Cheng let out a low roar and rushed out directly!

Behind him, for some reason, the spirit beads that had become one floated together.

Bang!

Lin Zhen, whose eyes were scarlet, rushed out of the secret room, and he didn't care about the direction, and directly crashed into a room, which was the warehouse used by Qingyu to store medicinal materials.

Lin Derivation directly hit a shelf where medicinal materials were stored, and the wooden medicine shelf naturally shattered in response, and of course a shelf of medicinal materials flew all over the sky.

And Lin Derivation also lost most of his consciousness in this collision and fell to the ground on his back.

Behind him, the Spirit Bead chased after him unhurriedly, spinning around Lin Derivation's head.

A bit of misty brilliance bloomed from the spirit bead, covering all the medicinal herbs in the warehouse.

Then, a shocking scene appearedβ€”grains of light began to emerge on those medicinal herbs, constantly surging towards the spirit beads.

Those points of light seemed to be the essence of the medicinal materials, and the surface of the medicinal materials became a lot darker when the points of light were separated from the body.

All things are born and all things have spirits, even a grass and a tree will contain some vitality, not to mention these medicinal materials used to save people.

And if there is a knowledgeable alchemist here, he will be shocked and inexplicable, because those points of light are the essence of vitality contained in the medicinal materials!

Extracting the essence of vitality in medicinal materials has always been known as the most difficult step in refining medicine, but this spirit bead can be refined out of thin air?

No, at that speed, it can no longer be said to be refining, but plundering!

Qingyu has opened a medical hall in Tai'an Town for more than ten years, and the collection is naturally extremely rich, and there are even a few medicines that can be used to supply martial artists for cultivation in this warehouse!

Coupled with such a huge base, the total amount of vitality in it is also considerable.

At this time, most of this vitality has entered the spirit bead!

After a few breaths, the brilliance on the spirit bead began to disappear, and it circled around Lin Derivation's body a few times, shooting out a few rays of vitality and brilliance into Lin Derivation's body like a feedback, and then, the bead body was completely dim and submerged into Lin Derivation's body.

Lin Zhizhi, on the other hand, was lying on the pitch-black ground, his body was as weak as mud, and he could no longer get up.

It's just that his body is still subtle...... But he kept squirming, and his eyelids were trembling, as if he was trying to maintain his last will.

The silence in the pharmacy was broken by the sound of small footsteps, and two figures slowly walked out of the darkness.

The sound was not loud, but it was particularly harsh in the silent medical hall, alarming Lin Zhi, who was already in a semi-comatose state.

"Oh? Still a little conscious? One seemed a little surprised.

Be...... Who?

Hearing this voice, Lin Sheng, who was already struggling in the nightmare, suddenly became nervous, his body shook like chaff, he turned his head with all his might, his eyelids were half-open, trying to see the person clearly.

However, before he could completely open his eyes, his body was picked up by two palms, and his face sank into a piece of softness.

"Little one, great job...... It's really great. ”

The voice with softness and love came to Lin Yuan's ears, and then a gentle warm current began to permeate his body, nourishing his body while also pushing his consciousness into the lower end of the sinking.

"I ...... You ......"

Lin Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes finally closed weakly, and just before his consciousness was about to fall into complete darkness, a few words of conversation sounded in his ears as if nothing:

"Spirit Bead...... It's already fused into his body, right? ”

"Don't worry, little sister-in-law, the treasure has already recognized the Lord, and the 'Heavenly Heart Mantra' has also been planted, so everything is fine."

"Well, the 'plan' can start to prepare."

Plan? Spirit beads? Celestial Mantra?

didn't have time to think about the meaning of these words, Lin Cheng completely passed out.

"Alas...... It's really hard for this kid. ”

Ye Chunyu's beautiful eyes looked at Lin Sheng, who had fainted, and gently picked him up, gently caressing his body with his jade-like hands.

"Is your Heavenly Heart Mantra reliable?"

"Don't worry." Beside him, the black-robed man nodded: "There is a mental hint added under my Heavenly Heart Mantra, plus the stimulation he received today...... Everything is fine. ”

"This kid's heart will be unbreakable if he wants to become stronger in the future, and his martial arts heart will be as hard as iron!"

"That'll be fine." Ye Chunyu raised his snow-white chin: "However, until now, my husband has not stopped him, maybe ...... He agreed, right? ”

"Perhaps......"

At the mention of Qingyu, the black-robed man also sighed, his eyes were deep.

"By the way, there is something I still have to tell you."

The black-robed man suddenly turned his eyes, hesitated, and said to Ye Chunyu: "I used the Heavenly Heart Mantra to use what happened today to guide this little guy to strengthen his martial arts heart, and the process is very smooth, which shows that this little guy is ...... I love you guys very much. ”

"I know."

Ye Chunyu let out a soft "um", and hugged Lin Derivation's hands tighter:

"We love him too."

"It's just...... There are some things, crossing the river, and you can't help yourself. ”
