"Chapter 144: If you want to chop wood, sharpen your knife first"
As soon as the words fell, a white-clothed figure descended from the sky and stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the hiding place of several people with a smile, and the purple stone in his hand, after he landed, suddenly turned into powder, and drifted away with the wind between the sky and the earth.
Long Aotian, who had been watching the situation, took the lead in lifting his disguise, stood up in disbelief, and said in shock: "Huh? Damn, Brother Lin, why are you? ”
"What? Don't you wish it was me? Lin Beichen crossed his arms to his chest, looked at Long Aotian with a playful expression, and said with a smile.
"Ahaha, what did Brother Lin say, I, Long Aotian, have never thought of a person like this at any time." Long Aotian snorted, and his joy couldn't help but float on his face.
Hearing the conversation between the two, several people also took off the disguise covering their bodies and stood up one after another.
Seeing that all four of them were gathered together, Lin Beichen also smiled knowingly, which saved him from looking for it again.
As soon as he thought of the five hundred medium-grade spirit crystals, his heart was dripping with blood.
"Big brother, you're finally back, Shuang'er misses you so much." Shuang'er raised her eyebrows, rushed over excitedly, and threw herself into Lin Beichen's arms.
Lin Beichen opened his arms, held Shuang'er up, pinched the latter's fair cheeks, and said apologetically: "The big brother came back late, it's the big brother who is wrong." ”
At this time, the Yin Jue Old Man and Cang Xuanzi also stepped forward together with a happy face, and the old faces of the two old men had complex and inexplicable looks.
"Young Master Lin, you're finally back... I thought you—" The Yin Absolute Old Man's tone was a little choked.
"The old man misses you..."
After a long time of choking, it finally turned into this heartfelt sentence.
The old man, who had half a foot in the coffin, had tears rolling in his eyes at this moment.
Lin Beichen looked at the appearance of the Yin Jue Old Man, and his playfulness suddenly became great, and he laughed lightly: "Are you sure you miss me?" Instead of wanting to 'turn into a yin array'? ”
Hearing Lin Beichen's words, the old man was slightly stunned, his expression was a little dazed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
To be honest, he also had this selfishness in his heart, but the moment Lin Beichen appeared, he found that he unconsciously had the urge to cry, and completely forgot about the benefits of following Lin Beichen.
After getting along along this way, he was gradually conquered by Lin Beichen, and he became more and more identified with Lin Beichen as a friend in his heart.
Perhaps deep down in his heart, being able to see Lin Beichen again was much more important than the unknown and ethereal benefits.
"Hahaha, tease you, I, Lin Beichen, am hard to chase after you, what I promised you, even if it is a thousand difficulties, I will do it, and when I return to the Xuanling Dynasty, I will try to improve your cultivation." Lin Beichen smiled and patted the old man's shoulder and said with relief.
He had long regarded the old man as his friend.
Although the two didn't know each other at first, after so much time together, he also realized that the character of the old man was not bad, but he had a lot of eyes and liked to weigh the pros and cons.
But Lin Beichen can also understand that the old man is a casual cultivator, and there is no background behind it, and everything he gets is all on his own.
If there weren't many hearts, they might have been eaten by others and there would be no bones left.
All of this is to survive in this cannibalistic world.
"The old man is willing to follow Lin Gongzi forever, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, the old man will not give up." The old man wiped the tears from his eyes and patted his chest to show his loyalty.
"Follow me Lin Beichen, can you still go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire?" Lin Beichen shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Are you alright?" Lin Beichen turned his head to look at Cang Xuanzi, who also stepped forward.
For this old man, he has great respect, not only because of his former strength, but also because he has a life-saving grace for himself.
"The old man is fine, it's good that you can come back safely." Cang Xuanzi smiled kindly.
His mind is extremely pure, he just hopes that Lin Beichen can be safe, and he does not have a little selfishness in his heart like others.
Although Lin Beichen also promised him that he would help him recover his strength. But until now, he didn't have much hope in his heart.
He knew very well how heavy his injuries were, and all the meridians were damaged, but it was far more complicated than the broken dantian to repair.
A cultivator has only one dantian, but the meridians are all over the body, and the difficulty of repair is not at the same level at all.
At the beginning, he found many alchemists and magic circle masters, but he couldn't repair his injuries with pills, magic circles, and tried various methods.
For this reason, he also spent all his savings at the beginning, but after failing to get a trace of recovery, he no longer had illusions.
This is also why when Lin Beichen promised to help him recover his strength, he refused in his words.
Many famous teachers can't repair his injuries, let alone a fledgling young man like Lin Beichen?
At this time, Long Aotian seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "By the way, Brother Lin, what about that person?" ”
"I got rid of it, so I shouldn't have followed." After Lin Beichen pondered for a moment, he asked, "Without further ado, take a look at the guidance on the copper plate, how far is we from the insulating valley here, and how long will it take to get there?" ”
After Long Aotian answered, his mind sank into the copper sheet, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said, "There are still about a thousand miles, and according to our previous travel speed, we should be able to reach it before sunset." ”
Then, Long Aotian hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "I have a hunch, that young man in Chinese clothes also knows that we are going to the Insulating Valley, will he wait there for us to throw himself into the net?" ”
"It's the news of the copper piece in your hand that has been told to the young man in Chinese clothes by Ruan Ping, right?" Lin Beichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly.
"I think it should be, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence, as soon as Ruan Ping and I left Dark Sun City on the front foot, the young man in Chinese clothes on the back foot followed. If Ruan Ping had been killed, he sensed it and followed, it would have been impossible for him to catch up with us at that time. ”
"And how does he know where we're going? And how can you find us accurately? ”
"This can already show that he was originally going to take this road to the insulated valley, and when he saw Ruan Ping, who had been killed, he chased him all the way and caught up with us."
The coldness in Long Aotian's eyes became more and more cold, and there was anger burning in his heart, and he couldn't wait to turn around and dismantle Ruan Ping's corpse in eight pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
He didn't expect him to believe in that Ruan Ping so much, but Ruan Ping was looking for someone to harm him. He didn't simply think that Ruan Ping called this person to help.
According to the previous cooperation agreement between him and Ruan Ping, once he arrives in the Insulating Valley, this young man in Chinese clothes will presumably appear, and when the time comes, he may not even be able to drink the soup, and there is a greater probability that he will be directly wiped out by the two.
No one can resist the temptation of such a great opportunity to live on the ground, the mausoleum of the powerhouse of the Xuandan Realm.
And when he found Lin Beichen, he was naturally gambling, betting that Lin Beichen was a trustworthy person, not a person like Ruan Ping.
Lin Beichen nodded lightly, his eyes glancing into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, his eyes were firm, and he had already made a decision in his heart, when he turned his head to a few people and said: "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let's not go to the insulated valley first, anyway, that person doesn't have the key in Brother Long's hand, and it is useless to go to the insulated valley, and we can only wait for the rabbit there."
Except for Long Aotian, a few people had no opinion on Lin Beichen's move, and wherever Lin Beichen said to go, they would naturally follow.
But Long Aotian was already very anxious at this time, and he couldn't help it at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "Then we won't go in the future?" ”
He was extremely unwilling in his heart, and he couldn't let go of such a big opportunity not to explore, so he could only watch.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but add a little resentment to that Ruan Ping in my heart.
"Go! Why don't you go? The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth hooked up a mysterious arc, and the determination in his eyes was even worse.
"What do you mean, Brother Lin?" Long Aotian was a little stunned for a moment, and then asked with a puzzled expression.
Lin Beichen said that he would go this time, and then he said that he would not go, and he would not be able to fix him.
"Find a secret place first, and then we will set off after I have broken through a small realm, and at that time, I will definitely meet that person again." Lin Beichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint trace of killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
When the two sides were fighting, he could already feel that the gap between the two sides was not very big. As long as he is allowed to break through a small realm again, this gap will be directly erased.
If we meet again at that time, he will definitely make the young man in gorgeous clothes pay the price.
Hearing this, Long Aotian's eyes showed a strong look of worry, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Brother Lin, you are only the fifth layer of the Tianyin Realm now, and if you break through one layer again, it will only be the sixth layer of the Tianyin Realm, I'm afraid you won't be the opponent of the young man in Huafu, right?" ”
He knew that Lin Beichen's strength was not just as simple as it seemed, but if he wanted to fight across three small realms, he had no hope for it.
Just a small realm, the gap between them, like a chasm, is enough to make people feel hopeless.
But now, Lin Beichen actually threatened to cross three small realms after breaking through to the sixth layer of the Heavenly Yin Realm, and fight with the young man in Chinese costumes at the ninth layer of the Heavenly Yin Realm.
It was the first time he had heard of such a shocking thing.
"Just listen to me, I'm not going to joke with my own life and yours." Lin Beichen restrained that trace of murderous aura, and then patted Long Aotian on the shoulder, smiling and comforting.
Hearing Lin Beichen say this, Long Aotian could only sigh helplessly, and then said: "Okay, when I escaped just now, I noticed that there is a cave near here, which looks quite hidden, just a little behind, let's go there." ”
Lin Beichen nodded lightly, then turned his head to look at a few people, and said, "Let's go, you can also use this time to have a good rest." ”
