Chapter 35: The Evil Scourge (Part II)
The attic looked a little old, and the beams and walls were scratched by time.
The attic is hidden in the mist, adding a bit of mystery to the attic that has guarded the land for nearly a thousand years.
In the eyes of outsiders, the mysterious, powerful and noble attic was like home in Lin Haotian's eyes at this time. When I arrived at the door, I yelled, like a child being bullied outside.
As soon as his words fell, a "pop" sounded and Lin Haotian paused as he rushed into the pavilion, covering his face in disbelief.
Through the fingers, you can see some crimson finger prints on Lin Haotian's face, if Lin Haotian takes his hand away, he will definitely be able to see the slap marks on his face.
Lin Haotian's eyes turned red in an instant, in this Sword Pavilion, even the current pavilion master Xu Ningqing would not do anything to him, and he would not even say a word to him. In this Sword Chamber, only one person can do this to him, and only one person dares to do this to him.
This person is Lin Haotian's master, the former master of the Sword Pavilion, and according to his seniority, he is Xu Ningqing's senior brother.
Xu Ningqing was very young when he started, but the old pavilion master at that time took a fancy to this talented disciple at a glance, so he directly accepted Xu Ningqing, so Xu Ningqing looked much younger than Lin Haotian's master in terms of age, but the two were actually people of the same generation.
The outside world knows that he, Lin Haotian, is the descendant of the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion and the Young Pavilion Master.
This is true, but the outside world thinks that Lin Haotian's master is Xu Ningqing. His master is indeed the pavilion master, and he is indeed the young pavilion master, but he is only Xu Ningqing's nephew.
Because of this, he is so defensive of Xu Changan, even though Xu Ningqing has left Xu Changan since he was a child. Lin Haotian was afraid, afraid that Xu Ningqing would pass on the position of pavilion master to his son in order to compensate Xu Changan.
Moreover, what worries Lin Haotian even more is Xu Changan's talent.
Xu Chang'an has only practiced for two or three years, but he can reach the realm of a little grandmaster, and he has a good fighting power, and he has made many achievements in places outside Chang'an City, so he has to be on guard.
Even within the Sword Pavilion, this matter was discussed, after all, according to the situation at the time, not everyone had the courage to come forward.
The influence outside Chang'an City even exceeded that of Fengwu Mountain and Manxue Mountain.
That time was enough to see Xu Changan's character, courage and determination to sacrifice himself.
Lin Haotian hated a little, hating why it wasn't himself who encountered these things at that time.
Thinking of this, he hated and envied Xu Changan more and more.
I envy him for having the courage to stand up, and hate him for having the courage to stand up.
Lin Haotian gritted his teeth, and after taking a look at the attic, he lowered his head, his eyes were red, he didn't speak, and he didn't dare to take a step forward.
Although, at one time, he was able to enter and exit this attic unscrupulously.
"Alright, don't be ashamed, get out. The old man's voice came from the attic, and there was a bit of exhaustion in it.
When Lin Haotian heard this, he hurriedly went to the attic.
The top floor of the attic.
He had been here countless times, but this was the first time, and he didn't dare to push the door directly.
Today, it was the first time that his master had taught him a lesson, and it was in front of everyone in the cabinet.
"Do you know why you got that slap?"
There was no sound inside or outside the house, and in the end, the old man couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in opening his mouth. Every time a child makes a mistake, it is the parent who speaks first, except for those who are good at quibbling.
Although it was outside the house, Lin Haotian still lowered his head, and after a long time, he was not urged to answer in the house.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, and finally said: "For this matter, the disciple should first tell the master, and should not yell outside the pavilion, which is not conducive to unity." ”
After Lin Haotian finished speaking, he pretended to be calm, he could only be sure that the master didn't know what he was doing outside, otherwise, not to mention his position as the young pavilion master, even whether he could get out alive had to be said.
His heart was beating fast, faster than ever.
Lin Haotian closed his eyes, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and used these expressions and small movements to ease his uneasiness.
"As a leader, the most important thing is to know when to say something, and your uncle and I have high expectations for you, so you don't have to think about it. ”
When Lin Haotian heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"But Xu Changan does have the ...... to enter the demon"
Before he could finish his sentence, the old voice interrupted him.
"This is not something you should worry about, you are the young pavilion master, just do your duty as the young pavilion master. Now that Chang'an is facing reform and reform to strengthen the country, it is a good time for you to make a contribution. You know, every pavilion master has merits, I saved the Ji family, and in the era of your uncle, the Ji dynasty actually dared to fight the idea of the Nine Dragon Fu, at that time, the world was scattered, if it was allowed to develop, it would inevitably bring about the troubled times of the Warring States. Your uncle forcibly gathered the luck of the world, went to help the Xuanyuan clan himself, and forcibly continued a dynasty. ”
Lin Haotian listened carefully, he knew that this was the exam before becoming the pavilion master, and the master told him this, which was also a reminder and a reference for him.
"It turns out that your uncle's vision is good, whether it is Xuanyuan Chutian or Xuanyuan Rende now, they all know how to make good use of people, but unfortunately, their family's luck is not enough......"
Halfway through his words, the old man's voice stopped abruptly.
Lin Haotian was stunned, if it was the master before, it was a tactful point, but as soon as this half sentence came out, he directly gave the way to answer, as for how to answer, just look at himself.
There was a sigh from inside the room.
"Okay, remember that your uncle came back to apologize to him. ”
Lin Haotian knew that his master was tired, and from childhood to adulthood, his master treated him sincerely.
He thought about it, then knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
......
Walking out of the Sword Pavilion, holding the jade talisman in his hand, and walking out of the large array that would hide and protect the Sword Pavilion, Lin Haotian saw Fu Bo as soon as he raised his eyes.
There are two people to whom he is grateful all his life.
The first is his master, it should be said that the master is more proper, raising him and loving him, and the second person is Fu Bo, who is loyal to him and dedicated himself to him.
"Young master, what did the old pavilion master say?" Fu Bo naturally knew why Lin Haotian came back, and even how to frame Xu Chang'an, Fu Bo personally controlled it.
"Young master, did the old pavilion master beat you?" Fu Bo seemed to regard Lin Haotian as his junior, his eyes were full of love and distress, he looked at Lin Haotian's face and stroked it gently.
Lin Haotian grabbed the old man's hand and said with a smile: "This is a wake-up call from the master to let me do what I need to do." ”
"Could it be that the young pavilion master, your assessment ......?"
Lin Haotian nodded, with a smile on his face, as long as the assessment is completed, the position of the pavilion master will not be able to escape, even if that person is Xu Ningqing's son, he will not be able to take the position of pavilion master away from him.
"Let's go to Chang'an and make meritorious deeds!"
After saying that, he looked in the direction of Chang'an.
Fu Bo was also full of joy, and followed Lin Haotian to take two steps forward, and Lin Haotian suddenly stopped.
"By the way, Fauber, the plan is still the same!"
......
Xu Changan and the others took all the small roads, and found that someone was monitoring him and Li Daoyi along the way, but they didn't make a move, and even monitored them several times, including demon clans and human races. They resemble Assassins, but more like Assassins protecting the two.
Xu Changan, the secret agent of the human race, figured it out, this must be the great prince's centaurs, the assassin who assassinated him at the beginning, he still remembered the boy who called himself a white-haired ghost, and it was also the pressure of the young man that made Xu Changan sword and Ming, so as to understand part of the "Breaking Sword Technique".
But how can this demon clan seem to protect him anymore?
Xu Changan was puzzled, so he didn't bother with this problem.
It's just that when they entered another city, they saw a piece of news that shocked them!
It's still a notice, but now it's a lot harsher, and a picture of the back is drawn.
It is said that there is a bloodthirsty young man with a red sword on his back, he has slaughtered more than a dozen villages, and now the court no longer offers rewards, but keeps the people away, and orders the worshippers of various cities to quickly capture this person. According to Li Daoyi's hearsay, even the worship pavilion in Chang'an appeared, just to catch the young man with the red sword on his back.
Xu Changan frowned and glanced at the red big sword behind his back.
This matter is obviously aimed at him.
However, Xu Changan couldn't think of who it was, let alone guess it.
......
In the light rain, a young man passed by a village with a big red sword on his back, and he had just finished his work, and there was even a smell of blood on his body. According to common sense, today he doesn't want to use the sword anymore.
The village was peaceful, and the people who had gone out to do business in the city had not yet returned, so naturally they did not know what was going on outside.
Seeing a young man braving the rain, his aunt greeted him warmly.
Although the village is poor, under the hard work of the Xuanyuan clan, everyone has enough food and clothing. After eating and closing, people's hearts will also be warm.
"Little brother, it's hot and humid in summer, and it's easy to get sick in the rain, hurry in and sit down, and my aunt will give you a sip of hot soup, and then go on the road when the rain stops. ”
When the young man heard this, he nodded, and the aunt greeted him warmly, but the aunt didn't see it, and the moment she turned around, the corner of the young man's mouth hooked up a weird smile.
