Chapter 196: The Mist Rises
Lin Gu didn't feel much about the fragment of the corner of his clothes, but the words on the jade plate caught his attention.
The jade plaque was broken and no longer existent, but it was still vaguely recognizable
The word "Xuan".
"Xuantian Sect?" Lin Gu said. Lin Yan nodded and said:
"Grandpa, do you think so, too?" Lin Gu's face was heavy, and when he saw this word, he naturally thought of the domineering sect that was the number one Dao sect, or even the number one in the Metaverse.
Now Xuantian Sect even has a tendency to rank first among the three sects, and it is unstoppable. If you face them, it's really not a happy thing!
After analyzing for a while, the ancestors and grandsons roughly deduced the original appearance of the matter: First of all, this jade plate could never belong to Lin Yan's parents, because no one dared to target the people of Xuantian Sect so blatantly.
Of course, it doesn't count to do it secretly, but since traces can still be found now, it means that the person who did it doesn't care, and there are few ruthless people who dare to provoke Xuantian Sect like this at that time.
Secondly, if this is the case, then this jade plate belongs to the people of Xuantian Sect, and it is the side that is pursued by many people.
If it is inferred in this way, then the fragments of the clothes that were picked up before were dropped by the people of Xuantian Sect.
In the end, Lin Yan's parents were the ones who were being pursued, and they were in a hostile relationship with Xuantian Sect. Since they were left in the village for so long in the end, it means that they were already captured at that time and had no time to take care of anything else.
It's just that I don't know if it was his father or mother who was hunted down and killed at that time, and what happened to him? But this is not a problem, the truth of the matter back then, after all, we must continue to investigate, even if it is against Xuantian Sect in the end!
Lin Gu sighed and said:
"Yan'er, grandpa knows that you won't give up. But this Xuantian Sect is powerful, don't startle the snake before you have fledgling! ”
"Hide in the shadows, gather information, and wait for an opportunity. Remember, it's the hidden opponent who is the toughest to deal with! Lin Yan nodded heavily when he heard this, he remembered Lin Gu's words.
Then the grandfather and grandson fell into a short silence, and then Lin Gu looked at Lin Yan lovingly, and said with a smile:
"Yan'er, whatever you want to do, let it go! We will always be your strongest backing! Lin Yan nodded heavily, and then lowered his head, so that no one would see the tears rolling in his eyes.
"It's nice to have a home!" …… It's getting closer and closer to the martial arts competition led by the three sects, and Lin Yan can't stay in the village for a long time, it's time to go!
When I was young, I didn't feel anything at home, but when I grew up, I was away from my hometown for a long time, whether it was due to study or other reasons, and after all, I couldn't see those familiar relatives and friends every day.
Whether it's missing or reluctant, there's always a sad emotion in it. Or maybe this is the price of growth, which will always be accompanied by parting.
Reluctantly, after all, I still have to pack my bags and run into the distance! Lin Gu stuffed Lin Yan's carriage with as much delicious food as possible, and the uncles and aunts in the village also came to say goodbye.
Some aunts shouted: "Next time you come back, remember to bring these two girls with you, they are all your own family, don't see outside!" Some men said with a smile: "Don't be optimistic, the two girls are so handsome, don't let other bastards be deceived!" ”
"...... "Everyone, you and I are telling you every word, and between the words are the worry that the child will travel far away.
Lin Tian, Thin Monkey and Da Zhuang also came, but the young people didn't have so much sentimentality. It's just that the partner who finally came back is leaving again, and it is inevitable that he will be a little lonely!
"Xiao Yanzi, you go first, and when I finish practicing the knife, I'll go to you!" The thin monkey patted the scimitar that Lin Yan gave him and said with a smile.
The latter nodded and said:
"Okay, but don't make me wait too long!" The skinny monkey continued:
"Rest assured!" Then he came over and gave Lin Yan a big bear hug. Lin Tian patted Lin Yan on the shoulder and said:
"Xiao Yanzi, don't carry everything by yourself when you go out, pay attention to safety!" This time they went into the mountain together, and when they encountered danger, Lin Yan always rushed ahead.
Even in the face of demon beasts of Jiufeng's level, he was not afraid at all, which was undoubtedly his strength, but also his weakness.
Because Lin Yan will always put himself in danger for the sake of his partner, this is undoubtedly gambling his life to walk on a suspended tightrope, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will end up with broken bones.
Although in the end, the danger was saved, but the process was always heartbreaking, so Lin Tian hoped that he could take care of himself more.
Lin Yan naturally listened, and next, Da Zhuang and other partners also said goodbye to Lin Yan.
In the reluctance of the villagers, Lin Yan and the others gradually drove away in the carriage...... The way back is not as happy as when I came, and it always seems a little dull.
Not to mention Lin Yan, even the two daughters, Mingya and Moli, began to like this small village gradually after staying for a while.
At this moment, they are also reluctant. Mingya said softly:
"Xiao Yanzi, don't be unhappy, just wait for Wubi to come back later." Mo Li also followed:
"Yes, yes, when the time comes, it will be a good ranking, and it will also make Grandpa Lin Gu and them happy!" Lin Yan turned his head and said narrowly:
"You'll be with you then?" Mingya was about to say
"Yes", suddenly thought of something, and her pretty face instantly turned red. Didn't Lin Yan's uncles and aunts joke like this before?
If you say it yourself
"Yes", doesn't it mean that he will be his daughter-in-law in the future? This is too embarrassing! The girl looked up, ashamed, and thought:
"This little Yanzi is really getting bolder, and he even dares to tease them! I'm still so worried about him, hmph, I have to teach him a lesson! Mingya raised her small fist, and at the same time did not forget to greet Moli, the two women formed a common front at this time, together
"Crusade" Lin Yan!
"Quick, kill this little villain! How dare you bully us! ”
"Ah, dare to hide? Look where you're going! In this limited carriage space, Lin Yan had nowhere to escape, so he could only passively accept the overwhelming pink fists of the two girls, sending out bursts of ...
"Miserable howl"!
"Oops~Oops~" The voice echoed in the carriage, and Uncle Mao, who was driving the car outside, grinned, not caring at all that the missing front teeth were involuntarily breathing...... Because they were in a hurry to participate in the martial arts competition, several people didn't have the heart and time to play all the way.
Although I took a leave of absence at that time, I don't know if there will be any opinions from the academy after coming out for so long.
"Probably not!" Lin Yan thought so, but involuntarily accelerated the trip. Under the rush of a few people, it was much faster than when they came, but the horses couldn't stand it.
If it could speak, it would definitely complain:
"I'm pulling the car, carrying you, it's just that, I'm still urging and urging vigorously, is there any humanity in the end! I'm so tired! When Lin Yan and his party returned to Chang'an again, the martial arts competition was about to start, and after they each went home to rest, Lin Yan went to the academy to report.
Because this time, the martial arts competition was led by the academy, so Lin Yan also joined everyone first, and then went together.
The destination of this three-religion martial arts competition was chosen in the Northern Desert, which is also the base camp of Buddhism. Unlike the fertile and fertile regions of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, even the Southern Barbarians and the Western Wilderness are much stronger than it.
Most of the two domains occupied by this northern desert are covered by yellow sand, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a forbidden area for humans.
The human beings living in it rely on a few oases to survive, and the materials are poor, and the civilians can hardly meet even the most basic survival guarantees.
But in a way, this is very much in line with the teachings of Buddhism. They asserted
"If you don't cultivate this life and cultivate the next life", you will be tempered in the red dust in this life, and only after suffering can you achieve true transcendence.
In this way, after being transformed in the midst of hardship and hardship, you can enjoy happiness in the next life! No one knows whether this is true or false, after all, no one has ever seen what his afterlife is like, at least Lin Yan has not heard of it.
However, in the northern desert, the teachings of Buddhism have an extremely large influence. The local people were convinced of this idea and revered the disciples of the Buddhist sect as if they were gods.
As for the Buddha, he is like a savior! For these, the average person may not be able to understand.
But those believers are so fanatical, so obsessed, that they are even willing to give everything for them!
In fact, not only the two domains occupied by the Northern Desert, but also the nine domains of the Metaverse, almost all of them have Buddhist disciples preaching.
Their footprints are all over the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Barbarians and the Western Wilderness, and even the people in remote areas know about the existence of Buddhism.
In their teachings, the offerings of these people are faith, and the power of these beliefs can be used for them.
As for the specifics, this is the secret of Buddhism, and outsiders cannot snoop on it. To go all the way, we must be fully prepared, and for example, to lead the team to teach, three masters of the innate realm were dispatched.
The Innate Realm, at a time when the Heaven and Man Realm is almost invisible, this is the top combat power representing each faction.
Sending so many at one time also shows that the academy attaches great importance to this martial arts competition. Of course, the role of these teachings is more to escort these students, and they can't help the martial arts competition led by the three religions, everything has to rely on these students themselves!
Moreover, this martial arts competition is not limited to the disciples of the three sects, some first-class sects and other sects will also send people to participate.
The academy is declining day by day, and these people are all eyeing it, which can be said to be a grim situation, and they have to be guarded against!
In addition to Lin Yan and Bai Shan, the two new inner court disciples, old acquaintances such as Yuan Hao and Tu Tian also came, and there were also some disciples who didn't know each other, looking at their aura, they were all extremely strong existences!
In addition, in addition to these disciples who were going to participate in the martial arts competition, the academy also selected a group of disciples from the outer courtyard to visit and study, and Mingya, Li Zongsheng and others were impressively listed.
It's just that the sea was not chosen, which made him depressed for a while. The wind is surging, all parties are gathering, and this martial arts competition of the top young generation in the Metaverse is about to kick off!
