Chapter 12: The Doppelganger Scroll
It was late at night, and the surroundings were as quiet as water, except for the room of Lin Yue, the patriarch's mansion, which was still lit.
Lin Yue and Lin Dabao sat opposite each other, the hot tea on the table was steaming, and there were a few plates of exquisite pastries.
Lin Dabao looked at his hazy little eyes, yawned a few times, and a small amount of bean paste remained at the corner of his mouth.
"Dabao, my good grandson, come, have a cup of tea and refresh yourself. ”
Lin Dabao took a sip, and the fragrance of tea overflowed in his mouth, making people feel refreshed. "There's Grandpa Law. Then he drank the tea and asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter with me so late?"
Lin Yue touched his beard, looked at his grandson who was about to travel far away, and said regretfully: "Our family's great treasure is going to study at the Imperial Capital Academy, and he may not be able to see him for a while, so grandpa will take advantage of your understanding that you will cultivate in the future, and chat with you more when he has free time in the evening." ”
Lin Dabao nodded, "The Imperial Capital Academy is not a prison cell, I will come back to visit my grandfather when I have time." ”
Lin Yue touched Lin Dabao's head, and said with a smile, "I know that Dabao is the most well-behaved and smartest, unlike your father Lin Shan, who can't achieve anything." ”
As he spoke, Lin Yue took out a card from his cuff and handed it to Lin Dabao.
Lin Dabao saw that this card was exquisite and sturdy, and his whole body was covered with a golden substance, and it felt cold to the touch, not like an ordinary thing.
"What kind of baby is this? ”
"Hehe, this is called a gold deposit card, and there are 100,000 gold coins in it, which is a popular means of payment outside. Lin Yue looked at Dabao with a puzzled look on his face and explained.
It is no wonder that the means of payment on Cape Island are all hand-to-hand payment and hand-delivery, and rarely involve large-scale monetary transactions, so the extensive gold cards in the town are not recognized by the clansmen.
"One hundred thousand... Gold Coin !?" Lin Dabao was immediately stunned, the annual income of the Inner Sect of Cape Island was only 50,000 gold coins, not counting the money distributed to other elders, these 100,000 gold coins were a huge amount of money in any place in the Red Clay Empire.
"Hmph, not much. The tuition, tuition and miscellaneous fees, and accommodation fees of the Imperial Capital Academy will always be deducted, and then the cost of alchemy reagents and weapons and equipment taken in the later stage will also be used in a variety of ways. ”
Lin Dabao didn't understand what he heard, but he understood that the 100,000 gold coins were now in his pocket, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes.
"Grandpa, those three outer sects locked up in the dungeon, I went to humiliate them a few days ago yesterday, and I was so relieved. ”
Lin Yue blinked, thinking that it must be allowed by the prison warden Lin Xi, but with him, it won't be too big to happen, and it will not be known by others.
"As the eldest grandson of the Inner Sect of Cape Island, when the Seagod Festival is over in three days, you can just take Teacher Zhao's boat back to the Imperial Capital Academy. ”
"Okay. Lin Dabao picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it carefully, and the mood was as sweet as the taste.
"It turned out to be in a dungeon, no wonder I couldn't see them in all the rooms. ”
Li Neng opened a tile, and Lin Yue and Lin Dabao didn't know that there was actually a pair of eyes on their heads looking down, and they listened to their words word for word.
When he snickered to himself, he turned over and was about to find the whereabouts of the dungeon.
The tiles in front of it made a "creaking" sound, apparently someone walking on it.
"There were guests arriving. ”
From the shroud of the night, a slender female figure moved out, thousands of strands of silver hair wrapped around this person's face, it was impossible to see what it looked like, and a pair of red pupils were looking at Li Neng.
Li Neng's heart was cold, and he had no intention of escaping, "It's Lin Po from the Inner Sect, right?" A drop of cold sweat slipped down.
Unexpectedly, the figure suddenly fell down and fell headlong into the pile of tiles, a hole was smashed into the eaves, and dust splashed.
"Lin Yue, you fool, you don't even know that someone is watching you from above. ”
The deep-rooted wrinkles on Lin Po's face were like twisted bark of an old tree, and every word she spit out was extremely weird.
Lin Dabao was so frightened that he was paralyzed to the ground, because since he was a child, what he was most afraid of was Lin Po, not to mention that now is the time when she is angry, just like those old monsters who eat people in ancient novels.
"How can this be reasonable, who dares to spread wild in my patriarch's mansion. Lin Yue jumped up and rushed to the roof.
Fragments of tiles and wood chips spread in the air, and Lin Yue respectfully came to Lin Po's side, "The disciple really doesn't know something, so I ask Lin Po to send it." ”
"Go up and catch that thief alive, be careful that he's not your average fighter. ”
"It's not good, old man, that guy Lin Yue is here too. ”
"Alas, now, I can only do it hard. Li Neng, who was controlled by the old man, rolled up his sleeves, and the battle was about to break out.
Lin Yue shouted, "Call"!! A wooden staff appeared out of thin air. This wooden staff has a dark brown color all over the body, with clear stripes and is of high quality.
"It's the staff of Shenlongwood. The old man was secretly unhappy in his heart, "What's the matter, old man, what kind of treasure is the wood in Lin Yue's hand?"
"It is a tree that grows in the deep sea, and it has absorbed the aura of the sea all year round, even if the level talent is not high, it can fully release the fighting skills, and it is the exclusive weapon of the fighting array master. ”
"Be careful, old man. Li Neng saw Lin Yue holding his staff aloft, and there were words in his mouth, this was the signature action of the Fighting Array Master when he launched the Fighting Array.
I saw that at a distance of three meters from the front and back, a circle with a diameter of about two meters appeared, and the earthy yellow fighting spirit was shining, and the circle was full of ancient words, followed by a fist made of earth that was attacking Li Neng directly.
"That should be the end of it. Lin Yue smiled lovely, because once he was hit by this move, the mud fist would be a dead grasp of the target, if it wasn't for a fighter above the third level, it would be difficult to fly.
Li Neng Qingmang reappeared, launched the fighting technique Qingfeng Jue, jumped up, and a whirlwind blew, which rose to a height of more than ten meters.
The two mud fists under the moment, straight and hooked together, like two long snakes fighting for life and death, the violent collision caused a wide range of aftershocks, the shattered mud fists were like a collapsed embankment, falling rocks fell one after another, and the roof was also collapsed.
"That's, Qingfeng's vindictiveness?" Lin Po's expression condensed, and she secretly wondered in her heart why the people of the Qingfeng Sect would come to this Cape Island, where birds don't?
"Lin Yue, I have changed my mind, don't stay alive. ”
"Although I don't know what happened, but the master's order, I had to obey. Lin Yue grabbed the staff, and a scroll appeared in Li Neng's hand in the air, and he immediately hesitated.
"I can't guess that this high-quality shadow clone scroll that I got on the guy will be used at this time, although this thing is expensive, and I am a little unwilling, so I will go out. ”
As soon as the words of "Shadow Clone, Activate !!" fell, black fighting spirit emerged from the scroll, and the words fell off the paper one by one, and in an instant, there were four identical figures in the air.
The other four people scattered, and Lin Po never imagined that this uninvited guest actually had such a valuable scroll on him.
Lin Yue was stunned for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish who was real and who was fake with the naked eye, so he immediately made a decision and stepped forward to intercept a person, not so much as an interception, but rather a person waiting for Lin Yue in place.
The rest of the figures behind fled in different directions.
