Chapter 20: Be honest with each other
Be honest with each other
By the time Lin Yong woke up, he was already lying in the outer sect of the Qinglian Sect, in a large mansion in Jingmen Prefecture.
The outer sect is in the downtown area of the state capital, and it seems that after crossing the red bricks and green tiles, and crossing the threshold under the four big-character plaques of the "Qinglian Sword Sect" in the book, you can come out of the lonely and boring spiritual life and integrate into the mundane life that is full of shouts.
"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons" This is the sage's evaluation of the lotus, and the Qinglian Sword Sect is not like the ordinary big sects, you have to find a treasure land, you have to find a quiet mountain range to cultivate. They want to set up an outer sect in this busy city, no matter how noisy the outside world is, my heart is as quiet as a mirror.
Of course, this outer sect is different from the outer mountains of Shu Mountain, and almost all the outer mountains of Shu Mountain are disciples from other mountains, and their cultivation is not high; but this outer sect of the Qinglian Sect is the gateway for the disciples of the Qinglian Sect to enter the world.
Every once in a while, there will be an elder who will come to this outer sect to take turn, if the people encounter difficulties in the cultivation world, they can directly throw a letter at the gate of the Qinglian Sword Sect, if the Qinglian Sword Sect determines that there are indeed demons, beasts or people in the demon path to make trouble, it will directly exclude the disciples to deal with it. If the Qinglian Sword Sect found out that this was a secret battle above the state capitals or temples, they would pretend not to see it.
After all, the Holy Emperor has also suppressed the temple over the years, and the affairs of the temple do not concern the rivers and lakes, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes do not involve the temple.
This rule has been in place since the founding day of the Holy Dynasty, and what is surprising is that whether it is a temple or a river and lake, it will never be violated.
There are also ignorant disciples of the Righteous Path and the Demon Path who have asked their masters, but their masters always give the following sentence: "Just obey it! Otherwise, you will be expelled from the sect." "It makes sense that the righteous path doesn't want to have too much friction with the temple, but even the demon path is like this, so it's a little puzzling.
Therefore, the Lord of the Holy Dynasty is called the Holy Emperor, and the Lord of the Demon Path is called the Holy Lord. The names collided, but the Holy Emperor pretended not to know, this was the attitude given by the temple first.
The rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and the temples belong to the temples.
If you want to talk about the sect that is close to the temple, it is only the Qinglian Sword Sect.
Because they were considered to be the sects that had entered the world, on the Evil Ghost Mountain, Lin Yong drew a green lotus in the air, and the monks of Jingmen Prefecture would directly turn around and return to the city.
If Lin Yong knew that there would be a genius disciple who seemed to be a demon path hidden underneath, I am afraid that he would not be so conceited and used Qinglian to persuade the little sect master who came from the state capital to retreat.
He woke up slowly, raised his eyes, and saw that he was surrounded by his own juniors and disciples.
Seeing that he woke up, the elder who had been on duty in the outer sect during this time walked in.
This elder is a woman, with a graceful demeanor, with a faint smile on her face at any time, wearing a light-colored long skirt, no matter what kind of disciple she faces, she is smiling and nodding, which makes people feel very comfortable.
There was once a saying from among the disciples: "If you hate me, you won't be born early, otherwise you are willing to pay this heart to Elder Li for the rest of your life." ”
This elder's name is Li Xinyin, the Sect Master of the Lower Realm, the most popular elder in the sect, not only fascinated a group of little old men, but also made many young disciples beat their chests and feet, hating themselves for not being born more than ten years early!
Seeing Li Xinyin coming, the disciples hurriedly got out of the way.
Lin Yong only felt a faint fragrance penetrate his nostrils, and he saw Elder Li's gentle face.
Her long hair hung down on Lin Yong's forehead, and Li Xinyin immediately stroked her long hair, and this action made the hearts of the surrounding disciples beat a little faster.
Li Xinyin helped Lin Yong check the pulse, and after making sure that this disciple was fine, he said to Lin Yong: "You will recuperate for a few more days, you are indeed hit by evil energy, and when you are well, come and tell me about the situation carefully." You don't want to think too much, take care of your injuries, and the competition of the six great competitions in the Creek Realm will all depend on you. After saying that, he departed.
"Six Great Competitions!"
Hearing these four words, Lin Yong gritted his teeth and vowed to get ahead in these six great competitions and become the star chasing the light!
......
When Xu Changan woke up, he found himself in bed. Opposite him, there was an empty bed, on which there were obvious signs of someone sleeping. Xu Changan looked around, the black long sword was placed on the bow of the boat, this was an old wooden house, except for two beds, there was nothing superfluous, and the bedding looked a little old, but it was washed white.
Xu Changan lifted the quilt and immediately covered it.
Although he is not slick, there is not much clothes left on his body, but there is not much difference between his bare butt and bottom.
At this moment, an old man walked in, he glanced at Xu Changan with some fear, put the coarse cloth clothes on the head of the bed, and left the house without waiting for Xu Changan to ask.
Xu Changan was a little surprised, but he couldn't care so much, the clothes seemed a little small, but it was better than a bare buttocks.
He thought about it, but still went out with his sword. When I went out, I saw a calm river outside the door, and there was a young man in blue who was fishing, and there was a white kitten lying next to the young man in blue.
Xu Changan was relieved when he saw this person and a cat.
Finding him out, Xiaobai turned his head and shouted at him. Lan Yu hurriedly glanced at Xiao Bai and complained to it, "Look, I scared the fish away again!"
Xiaobai rarely didn't get angry, and screamed aggrievedly. Lan Yu sighed, put down the fishing rod, and waved his hand at the old man standing in the distance, who hurriedly brought a small stool and a fishing rod.
Seeing this, Xu Changan walked over, sat on the stool, picked up the fishing rod, and learned how to fish according to Lan Yu's appearance.
Lan Yu didn't put the bait, and directly threw the fish hook out,
No matter how stupid Xu Changan is, he can't be like him, so he can only put the rod down.
Lan Yu's face was a little pale, he glanced at Xu Changan, and asked lightly, "Don't you tell me?"
Xu Changan glanced at him cautiously, and then said: "According to the news brought back by Xiaobai, someone should have detonated the gunpowder on the mountain and destroyed Qingfeng Village. ”
Lan Yu stared at the calm river and said lightly, "That's not what I'm talking about. ”
"I just happened to break through to the Convergence Realm, but all of a sudden, I felt a landslide crack in the ground, and I can't remember it after that. ”
Lan Yu shook his head again.
"Really, I still seem to be fighting people after that......"
Lan Yu put down the rod suddenly, stared at Xu Changan and asked loudly, "Explain, how can the fire dragon scales be here with you!"
There was confusion in Xu Chang'an's eyes, Lan Yu stared at him deadly, and finally his gaze softened, and he said to Xu Changan: "You touch your own neck." ”
Xu Changan touched it, but he didn't find anything strange, and the suspicion in his eyes was even stronger.
Lan Yu looked at Xu Changan, as if he really didn't know, he could only sigh and say: "You run a kind of exercise first, don't use your Buddhism, after running for a week, transfer spiritual power to this place." ”
As he spoke, he tapped Xu Changan's neck with his finger.
When Xu Changan heard this, he nodded, and did as Lan Yu said.
When the spiritual power went towards the place where Lan Yu was pointing, his body suddenly became red, a red light mask appeared on his body, and a layer of armor like scales also appeared on his body.
Xu Changan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, touched his somewhat hot neck, and glanced at his body in confusion.
When Lan Yu saw him like this, it seemed that he really didn't know.
"Don't you think it looks familiar?"
When Xu Changan heard this, he glanced at Lan Yu. Indeed, the scene that happened to him was indeed very similar to the scene that he saw on Lan Yu at the beginning.
Lan Yu patted the stool, Xu Changan dissipated his spiritual power, and sat down, he knew that Lan Yu had something to ask himself.
"When Mo Wen'an found me, he betrayed his friend to come to me in exchange for exercises, and he wanted to live a few more years, so he thought of cultivating. ”
"He came to describe to me the thing that his friend Sui Yuanxing had, and I felt the residual aura on him, and with his description, I knew what it was. ”
Xu Changan listened to Lan Yu sort this matter from beginning to end, and his heart sank.
Lan Yu sat on the stool and lifted the fishing rod, and the hook without bait really caught a fish, and it was a golden carp.
The old man standing not far away, his eyes were straight, the golden carp kept twisting its body, and under the morning sun, the golden scales of the body were eye-catching. As a fisherman, the old man has been fishing on this river for most of his life, and he has never seen a golden carp. This young man, casually flicking the hook, and even without hanging the bait, can he catch it?
I saw that after Lan Yu caught the fish, he put it back into the water.
"Because he has that thing, I also have it, but the attributes are different. ”
Lan Yu said lightly.
"Did the old man surnamed Zhou give you anything?"
Hearing this question, Xu Changan closed his eyes, and finally nodded slowly: "A small piece of something similar to a stone, dark red, with a black evil aura. ”
Lan Yu didn't expect Xu Changan to say it so happily, glanced at him, and then threw the fish hook into the river.
"This is the fire dragon scale, you broke through to the Huixi realm with the help of my ice dragon scale, and then the fire dragon scale ...... again"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Changan buried his head very low, and his voice was very small: "I'm sorry, I don't know ......"
Lan Yu turned his head to look at him, and Xu Changan didn't dare to look up.
This thing is like Xu Changan pit Lan Yu, and Lan Yu had tried his best to purify some of his evil qi before, otherwise he would not have been able to break through with the ice dragon scales so quickly.
"I really don't know?" Lan Yu frowned.
Xu Changan nodded.
Finally, Lan Yu turned his head and sighed again.
"Okay, that's it, dragon scales. When I go home, I can break through, so I don't care. ”
Xu Changan grinned when he heard this.
Sure enough, being rich is different.
"Then there's one more thing, do you recognize it?"
Xu Changan looked at him.
"You broke through, and you still escorted me home?"
When Xu Changan heard him ask, he sighed.
"What do you think?"
When Lan Yu heard this, a smile finally appeared on his pale face.
"That's good, by the way, what's your name?"
"Xu An. ”
Lan Yu's hand trembled slightly when he heard these two words, and he didn't let Xu Changan find out.
The two were silent for a long time, during this period, Lan Yu also lifted the rod a few times, each time it was a golden carp, and after catching it, Lan Yu put them back into the river.
I don't know if it's the same one, but the golden carp hit his hook like porcelain.
"Walking the rivers and lakes, it's safer to change your name, and your beard should be shaved. ”
Xu Changan glanced at him, only to see Lan Yu take out a piece of paper from his arms and hand it to him.
He is no stranger to this thing, he has seen it in Chang'an, it is a wanted warrant.
However, unlike the imperial court, the following payment is the Qinglian Sword Sect. It depicts a bearded man with a large black sword on his shoulder.
It was only written that the people would see that this person was the first to flee for his life, and that this person was a genius disciple of the Demon Dao.
And there is also a reward, if there is a loose cultivator who can kill or capture this person alive, he can worship the Qinglian Sword Sect, and he can also participate in the six sects competition this time.
Xu Changan glanced at Lan Yu, and Lan Yu threw a razor from his arms.
"This is the main road of the Jingmen River, I went into the city in the morning and found this thing. The person who fought with you last night should be a disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect, and besides, I want to ask you a question. ”
Xu Changan took the razor and held the wanted notice tightly in his hand.
"Brother Lan doesn't have to be polite, please say. ”
"I don't go around the road with you, you can probably guess that I come from a big hidden family, and I ran out because I was bored. Because of the special bloodline, it can resist evil qi, and I am more curious, what about you?"
Xu Chang'an's heart sank, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Lan Yu didn't have to say anything to him, this boy was just a little naughty, but whether it was generously giving him dragon scales or helping him purify some of the evil qi, everyone sat down to the end of benevolence and righteousness. But as for himself, Xu Changan began to struggle whether to tell him his identity or not.
"If it weren't for the fact that this fire dragon scale automatically attached to you in times of crisis, I wouldn't have known that your bloodline was also special, and it could also resist evil qi. ”
Xu Changan lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and finally could only say: "Brother Lan, I have something unspeakable, if the time comes, I will be honest with each other." ”
Lan Yu glanced at him and chuckled: "I'm not interested in knowing, just walking the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid that you have too many enemies, you, as my retainer and bodyguard, had better have the same surname as me, don't bring me some inexplicable trouble." ”
Xu Changan raised his head suddenly, only to see Lan Yu casually throw out a golden carp, the carp fell into the water, spit a bubble at Lan Yu, and disappeared into the water again with a flick of its tail.
Xu Changan took a deep breath, didn't say anything, held the razor, stood up and bowed to Lan Yu, and then walked back to the house.
After Xu Changan left, Lan Yu's hand was slightly slight, and Xiao Bai shouted next to him.
Lan Yu showed a smile on his pale face, touched Xiao Bai's little head, seemed to be facing Xiao Bai, and seemed to be muttering to himself: "Don't worry, I'm different from those people, and I won't say it." ”
Then the hook was lifted, and it was the golden carp again.
He sighed and took the trouble to throw the carp into the river.
"The one who wished took the bait, and there was a golden carp on it. I don't know if my surname Lan fell for you, or if your famous loyalty waited for my hook?"
When Xiao Bai heard this, he glanced at Lan Yu and lay quietly beside him.
......
Xu Changan asked the old man for a basin, then fetched water, washed his face seriously, shaved his beard, and a handsome young man appeared in front of the old man.
It is said that don't judge people by their appearance, but often words can reflect the truth.
The bearded man makes people feel that he is not a good person at first glance, but Xu Changan shaved his beard and became the son of a certain family, and the old man immediately became a little less afraid of Xu Changan.
Xu Changan finished finishing, lifted the long sword, and found a place where there was no one around, he had long been familiar with the method of flying the sword in the sword technique, so it was effortless to get up with the sword.
He was going to go to the Devil Mountain to have a look, and he didn't believe that there was no one alive.
Xu Changan fell to the top of the mountain and searched around, but he really didn't survive, he didn't know what happened, and he didn't find the bodies of Cui Wei and Meng Jiang and others.
Xu Changan thought about it, remembered the cave halfway up the mountain, and then took the sword again and came to the entrance of the cave.
