Chapter 127: Unscrupulous means
In the dark halls.
'Lin Shen' slowly opened his eyes, and after a moment of a slight trance, he suddenly woke up, and wanted to jump up from the ground, but found that his whole body seemed to be frozen, stiff and unable to move, so he could only lie upright on the ground.
"Don't struggle, if you fall into this body-binding spell, even if you have a second-level cultivation of enlightenment, you won't want to break free within an hour."
An indifferent voice came from his ears.
Lin Shen tried his best to roll his eyes and look in the direction where the voice came from, and from the position where he was lying, he could just see the huge Danding in the center of the hall.
The whole body is made of yellow essence copper, the Danding is full of human height, three legs and two ears, the surface is carved with countless mysterious and complicated lines, and the whole body exudes a cold green luster, giving people a gloomy meaning.
At this moment, a raging fire has been ignited under the Danding, and the four small holes on the lid are slowly overflowing with a trace of white gas, like a column of smoke.
The black-robed man had his back to Lin Shen and stood in front of the Dan Ding with his hands in his hands, as if he was observing the situation in the Ding.
"It's a pity that Jing Hai is dead, without him, there is little hope of refining the fourth-grade blood spirit pill again, after all, my alchemy skills are far inferior to him, but fortunately, the third-grade blood spirit pill is barely enough."
As he spoke, the black-robed man slowly turned around.
He was not wearing a mask, and his robe and hat were lifted back, revealing a clear face.
The moment he saw that face clearly, Lin Shen's eyes froze.
"Cold Charge!"
The face reflected by the flickering firelight was Leng Guangting Leng Zhi of Jiuyang Dao Academy, that is, Leng Xing's father!
"I'm surprised."
The black-robed man glanced at Lin Shen lightly, and there was not the slightest wave on his face.
"The dignified Jiuyang Daoist Academy is in charge, and behind the scenes, there is actually a notorious desolate wolf backbone, it's unimaginable, right?"
"It's a surprise, indeed."
Lin Shen's expression was extremely strange.
Although he vaguely guessed that the black-robed man might be from the Jiuyang Dao Academy, he never thought that it would be the very low-key leader of the Leng Guang Court.
It's just that this head is said to be from a cold spectrum, his size is also a family, and he is in a high position and is respected, how could he join the evil force of the wild wolf, which eats people and does not spit out bones, and he is still a high-level?
As if seeing Lin Shen's doubts, the strange light in Leng Guangting's eyes flashed, and he said quietly:
"A hundred years ago, our Leng family was still one of the eighteenth families, but since then, the family has gone downhill, and the family power has been declining, so that in the previous generation, our Leng family was finally eliminated from the eighteenth family and reduced to the Han spectrum."
"Although it is still a family, Hanpu is actually not much better than the commoners, and even the eighteenth family, which should be in the same class, also looks down on Hanpu."
"In order to regain the glory of the past, our Leng family is determined to revitalize the family and return to the ranks of the eighteenth family, and I have also been taught since I was a child to work hard to cultivate and achieve the revitalization of the family as a monk, but the manpower will eventually be poor, my qualifications are not good, and I have never been able to break through the bottleneck and be promoted to a monk!"
"There is no family without a monk, this is an unwritten rule between families, even if it is a cold line, there must be at least one monk in the family, if there is no monk in the family for more than ten years, it will be deprived of the name of the family and the civilian class will be defeated."
"And our Leng family, since my father's death, has not had a monk for nearly ten years."
Lin Shen listened quietly, and only then did he suddenly speak.
"So you want to break through the bottleneck with the help of the Blood Spirit Pill, but why are you telling me this now? Are you looking for an excuse for your actions, or for peace of mind? ”
The corners of Leng Guangting's mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to smile silently, ignoring Lin Shen's sarcasm, and said quietly:
"The avenue is vast, immortality is hard to find, how many people are unscrupulous, just to jump out of the cage and have a glimpse of the peak scenery, you think the blood spirit pill is very cruel, but in fact, there are more cruel and darker things in the world than this, everything is just to seek strength!"
"I don't feel remorse or uneasiness about what I've done, so why should I have peace of mind?"
Speaking of this, President Lengguang let out a long sigh, and his tone was a little gloomy.
"It's just that I've always kept these words deep in my heart, and I haven't even said them to my wife and children, but now that I say them, I feel a lot easier."
The corners of Lin Shen's mouth twitched: "It seems that I have done a good deed." ”
Leng Guangting turned his head to look at him, his eyes flickering.
"You behaved very unexpectedly, by this time, you should have guessed what I was going to do, but why weren't you scared at all?"
"Will you let me go if I'm afraid?" Lin Shen said quietly.
Leng Guangting smiled faintly, turned his head and glanced at Danding, and bowed slightly.
"It's almost time for the fire, the chit-chat is over, it's time for the final step of alchemy."
When the long-cherished wish of the year was about to come true, even Leng Guangting couldn't help but feel agitated, and a trace of flushing appeared on his face.
With a wave of his robe, he shook open the heavy lid, and in an instant, white gas gushed out, heading straight for the dome.
A strange fragrance permeated in an instant.
Lin Shen's nose twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt that his nasal cavity was filled with a sweet and slightly delicious taste.
It feels like a delicious taste made by removing the rust from the blood and adding refined sugar.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Leng Guangting had already strode over, lifted Lin Shen with his hand, turned around and walked towards Danding.
Just as he was about to be thrown into Danding, Lin Shen suddenly spoke.
"I'm curious, if I hadn't been caught by you, how would you have broken through the bottleneck and become a monk?"
Leng Guangting paused, frowned slightly, and glanced at Lin Shen strangely, a little puzzled why at this time, Lin Shen still had the heart to ask such an irrelevant question?
But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any other way for Lin Shen to survive this death-defying situation in front of him!
After a few seconds of silence, Leng Guangting still replied:
"I originally prepared a Danren, but now that I have you as a better person, I don't need to use it anymore."
"Yes." Lin Shen smiled slightly, revealing a meaningful gaze.
Inexplicably, a trace of uneasiness suddenly appeared in the depths of Leng Guangting's heart.
He frowned and pondered for a moment, but he was never able to find the source of this uneasiness, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and directly threw Lin Shen into the danding, and then grabbed it, took the dinglid out of thin air, and closed it with a bang.
In the next second, the flames under the Danding suddenly flourished, and the whole Danding trembled slightly.
Looking at this scene, a flash of excitement flashed in Leng Guangting's eyes, and he couldn't help but clench his palms.
He hurriedly took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and concentrated on the movements in the ding.
Time gradually passed, and the tremor of Danding gradually subsided, but the white gas spewed out from the sky did not decrease, but increased, and it was faintly scorched.
Leng Guangting sniffed, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately waved his sleeves to shake open the lid and looked inside.
What caught his eye was not the three-grade blood elixir that he had been thinking about for a long time, but several black elixirs.
Waste Dan!
Leng Guangting's complexion changed greatly.
"What's going on? Neither the steps nor the materials went wrong, so how could they fail? ”
Leng Guangting muttered in disbelief on his face, and his gaze was a little glazed.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, faintly mixed with shouts and shouts, and there seemed to be a buzzing sound that seemed to be the sound of insects.
The movement became louder and louder, but the cold light court didn't hear it, and just froze in place.
The alchemy that he had high hopes for, but failed for some reason, and the blow it brought to him was unimaginably heavy, so that he couldn't accept it for a while.
A moment later, the door was suddenly slammed open from the outside, and Leng Xing rushed in with a frightened expression, and said urgently:
"Father, a group of the most fierce victories rushed in from outside, followed by the people of the Zhiwu Hall, these guys don't know what medicine they took wrong, and they actually want to search our residence, it's really unreasonable!"
The three words of Zhiwutang seemed to touch a certain nerve in Leng Guangting, and he slowly turned around, looking at Leng Xing with a faint gaze.
"The people from the Zhiwutang are here?"
"Yes, and there are also the chief flag and flag officer leading the team, and I don't know what's going on?"
Leng Xing didn't notice his father's abnormality, and was still complaining angrily.
"Obviously, we are victims of the attack of the demon beast, but they suspect that we have something to do with the group of the most fierce victories, and they insist on searching, and now the steward is leading people to block the people of the martial arts hall, but it is estimated that it will not be long to stop it, and you have to come forward to preside over the overall situation, father."
As he spoke, Leng Xing finally sensed that something was wrong, and looked at his father in a trance suspiciously.
"Father?"
Leng Guangting ignored his son, and his expression was full of gloom.
"After all, it came to this."
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Leng Xing asked suspiciously.
Leng Guangting didn't answer, Huo Ran turned his head and looked at Leng Xing fixedly.
For some reason, that indifferent gaze made Leng Xing faintly panic, and his back was terrified.
Outside the hospital.
Watching the large group of people from the Martial Arts Hall rushing into the courtyard after the fiercest victory, a smile appeared on Lin Shen's face.
Not surprisingly, because of the incident of the desolate wolf stronghold in the Southern District a while ago, the Zhiwutang attached great importance to the appearance of the most fierce victory, and actually sent a large number of people over.
Lin Shen even recognized several of them as the general flags of the four major urban districts.
You must know that the general banner is a strong person with a clear nine-layer cultivation.
With these few people, plus hundreds of members of the Zhiwu Hall, the Cold Light Court will definitely be finished now.
"It's a pity that a doppelganger was sacrificed."
Lin Shen shook his head secretly.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of the cold light court, he did not take back the clone, but allowed the clone to disappear automatically after death.
It's a pity that the people in the martial arts hall came late, otherwise they could have managed to avoid the death of the clone.
Fortunately, the perseverance is not falling, and the clone originally planned to rebrush his talent, so it doesn't matter if it's gone.
But he had to come up with a reason to explain his role in the matter.
Of course, it is better for Leng Guangting to die directly, so that no one will know that he is also involved in this matter.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shen dodged out of the shadows and quietly approached the courtyard not far away.
At this time, the courtyard was already in chaos, and no one noticed that an uninvited guest broke in.
Coming to the courtyard smoothly and helplessly, Lin Shen happened to see the scene where the people from the Zhiwutang broke through the guards of the other courtyard and began to search around.
It didn't take long for Zhiwutang to make a discovery.
"My lord, we found a secret door inside, which leads to a cave, and the area seems to be not small!"
A flag officer reported to the leader, a middle-aged man who was five big and three thick.
Lin Shen recognized the middle-aged man as the chief banner of the Southern District, and his name seemed to be Yuan Ming.
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Yuan Ming immediately waved his hand.
"Search!"
"There is actually a cave in the residence of the dignified Taoist Academy, it seems that we may be able to gain something this time!"
Yuan Ming smiled and took the lead and strode inside.
The other two flags glanced at each other, hesitated and followed.
Something was wrong at every turn, and the most fierce victories seemed to be trying to lure them in.
And after discovering that they arrived, the steward here behaved very wrongly, and actually summoned people to block them out at the first time, and did not let them in no matter what.
Such an unusual reaction immediately aroused the suspicion of several experienced general flags.
Others are afraid of the Jiuyang Daoist Academy, they are not afraid, plus the Xia Hall Master gave a death order, if there is no gain, he will definitely eat and hang up when he goes back, so the three of them simply broke in.
I didn't expect to find something.
Could it be that Leng Guangting, who lives here, is in charge of Leng Guangting, and there is really some ulterior secret on him?
The group soon came to the secret door and rushed in without stopping.
As soon as they entered, Lin Shen's figure had already appeared silently behind them.
With the help of the Hidden Breath Charm and the Hidden Talisman, as well as the swift speed of the Cloud Dragon Law, no one noticed him all the way.
And the attention of several general banners of the Zhiwutang was also focused on the cave, and they didn't notice that there was an extra tail behind them.
The area of the cave is indeed not small, at least two or three times the size of the courtyard on the ground.
It is also thanks to the fact that the buildings in this area are far away from each other, otherwise someone would have noticed that something was wrong for a long time.
After a short time, everyone in the Zhiwutang came to the room at the end of the cave.
The door was wide open, and a dim light came through.
The three flags glanced at each other, paused slightly, and then rushed behind the door with a meteor in great stride.
In the dark hall, the flames under the Danding have been extinguished, and only a few pearls inlaid in the ceiling of the large hall emit a dim light, which makes the surroundings more and more gloomy.
Leng Guangting sat cross-legged beside Danding, staring intently at the pill in his hand, with an inexplicable expression.
Even the arrival of the people in the Zhiwu Hall couldn't take his eyes off for a moment.
Yuan Ming, who was the leader, frowned when he saw this, and was about to step forward to ask, his eyes swept over the pill in Leng Guangting's hand, and his expression was stunned.
The whole body of the elixir is red, smooth and round, like the finest ruby, and it exudes some kind of fantasy magic, which makes people reluctant to look away after taking a look.
"It's."
Yuan Ming's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something, he took a deep breath, and sure enough, he found that there was a strange sweet smell in the air.
This smell Yuan Ming was not unfamiliar with, he reacted immediately, his complexion changed suddenly, and his eyes looked at Leng Guangting in horror.
"Blood Elixir!"
"Leng Guangting, you really have collusion with the wild wolf!"
