Chapter 40: A Short Sword

The news of Lin Feibai jumping off the cliff was like a leaf falling from a stream, and the trickle was splashed with a little ripple, but it was only a little wave, and it disappeared after a while.

There are too many people who hope that Lin Feibai will die like this than there are people who believe that he is still alive, and they have not heard the slightest news about Lin Feibai for nearly a month, for the Nanshan faction, Lin Feibai is indeed like he is dead. However, there are still a few people who are convinced that he is still alive, and the begging woman is one of them.

The ugly woman with a muddy face begged passers-by for alms, but when they saw her disgusting face, they turned away. The woman was a few feet in circumference, and the crowd consciously drew a circle.

It's a little difficult not to notice such a conspicuous existence, Lin Feibai was about to change to a horse with strong feet in the town, and noticed a somewhat strange crowd from a distance.

It wasn't until the ugly woman got closer and closer that Lin Feibai could see her face clearly, this person was the wife of the coffin in the cemetery.

It was not appropriate for a young man with a delicate face and an ugly beggar in scruffy clothes to walk side by side, drawing the crowd's sideways glances. At the woman's suggestion, the two went to the teahouse and opened a private room near the corner.

"Lin Gongzi really didn't die. ”

"Luckily, someone picked up a life. ”

Lin Feibai poured two cups of tea, handed one of them to the woman, and said, "I heard that you have been looking for me since a long time ago?"

The woman said: "Yes, there are some things that I want to ask Lin Gongzi for help." ”

Lin Feibai said: "But my wife and I don't know each other, and from the standpoint, we should be regarded as enemies." ”

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "No, this is one of the things I am looking for you this time. ”

Lin Feibai nodded and motioned for the woman to continue.

The woman said, "My husband is dead, and he was killed not long after you and the little girl left. ”

Lin Feibai asked, "What's the matter?"

The woman didn't answer, and changed her words: "Dare to ask Lin Gongzi if he went to Lake Biwa before he went to find my husband?"

Lin Feibai said: "Well, I went to find Wuyi." ”

The woman said, "I am dead without clothes." ”

Lin Feibai frowned and said, "I didn't kill it." ”

The woman said, "I know, because Wuyi and my husband died under the same sword. ”

Lin Feibai faintly felt that something was wrong, so he didn't interject.

The woman continued, "There is a sword mark on the heart of my husband's body, and so is the unclothed. To tell you the truth, my husband and Wuyi were friends in private, and they both worked for the Nanshan faction in their early years. Later, the Nanshan faction did a lot of unsightly things in the rivers and lakes, which led to the decline of the reputation in the rivers and lakes, and the two of them were unwilling to join the Nanshan faction anymore. ”

Lin Feibai said: "According to what you say, the two of them are no longer from the Nanshan faction?"

The woman said, "Exactly." The two of them belong to the veteran level of the Nanshan faction, and they hold some secrets in the sect, even if the two of them go into hiding, the Nanshan faction is still afraid that the secret will be leaked out, and they privately invite countless killers to kill the two. Wuyi has accumulated some wealth on his hands, attracted some good hands, and he is proficient in the art of disguise, so he has survived for a while. But my husband didn't have such a good life, so he had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and hide in the coffin all day long, so that they didn't know why. Later, there was really no way, as long as there were people, there would be the eyes and ears of the Nanshan faction, so the three of us had to hide in the cemetery and live a life of no people and no ghosts. ”

Lin Feibai said: "Do you suspect that the person who killed them came with me?"

The woman nodded, her eyes full of exhaustion.

Lin Feibai said: "If this is the case, it is indeed related to me, but I am not a person from the Nanshan faction, and the reason why I will look for the two of them is that they are being used."

The woman nodded, and said, "After you and the girl left, my husband and I thought about it and felt a little strange, and he asked me to follow the two of you secretly to see if you really left." As a result, after you separated from that girl, you didn't come back to trouble us. With that, the woman's head bowed.

Lin Feibai said: "It's okay, then what?"

The woman said, "When I returned, I saw my husband's body. For a while, I didn't know what to do. I remembered that my husband contacted Wuyi's informant before his death, so I dressed up like this to contact him, and learned from him that Wuyi was also killed by a sword, and the corpse was only a few inches long at the mouth of the heart. ”

Lin Feibai frowned and muttered, "This person must be a master, could it be that Master Li's people have been following me all the way?" Or is it that they were killed by Qin Yu." ”

The woman said, "What Qin Yu?"

Lin Feibai groaned: "His lover died because of the Nanshan faction, and his hatred for the Nanshan faction is very deep. ”

The woman bowed her head and did not answer.

Lin Feibai squinted his eyes, and the scene in the Li family's compound flashed in his mind a month ago, and he muttered: "If Qin Yu is also planned by Mrs. Li, this will be too terrifying. The secret that Wuyi and your husband know is very important, so the Nanshan faction will definitely send very powerful killers to eradicate the two, and they will be eliminated as soon as they know their whereabouts, but Mrs. Li did not hesitate to borrow my sword to get rid of them, which shows that the Nanshan faction currently has no idle killers, so I have no choice but to let an unknown outsider go, this matter is very risky, so in order to ensure the outcome of the matter, he induced Qin Yu to appear in Lake Biwa......"

Lin Feibai rubbed his forehead, and cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from his back.

The woman looked at Lin Feibai's appearance, suddenly knelt down, and said, "Young Master Lin, please avenge my husband." I'll tell you the secrets my husband knows. ”

Lin Feibai hurriedly picked up the woman and said, "It is very likely that Qin Yu was used by Mrs. Li, and it is not necessarily Qin Yu who killed them. So ......"

Tears swirled in the woman's eyes burst out of her eyes, and she said, "Anyway, my husband's death is related to the Nanshan faction, please go to the Nanshan faction to ask for an explanation." ”

Lin Feibai rubbed his forehead with a faint pain, thinking about the beginning and end of the matter. When he looked up again, he found that the woman had taken off her clothes and stood in front of Lin Feibai shyly.

Lin Feibai was shocked, hurriedly turned around, and said, "You...... What are you doing here?"

The woman gritted her teeth, hugged Lin Feibai's back, and whimpered: "I know that there is a price for begging for someone, if the son does not dislike it, I will always accompany the son in the future, as a cow and a horse, and as a slave and a maid." ”

Lin Feibai shook off the woman's hand and said, "What are you doing, quickly put on your clothes, this matter has to be considered in the long run." ”

When the woman heard this, she refused to let go, and she cried so much that she was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly took off the mask on her face, revealing her fairy-like face.

Lin Feibai's brain went blank, and only the sound of a thumping heartbeat remained. The ambiguous air mixed with the scent of fairies permeated the room. A jade beauty like mutton fat jade is like a charming cat, coquettishly hugging Lin Feibai's back, sniffing the sweat on his back, and her appearance is so attractive.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the scene will be uncontrollable, Lin Feibai suddenly used force with both hands, broke away from the woman's embrace, bowed down, and jumped out of the window. Before leaving, leave a word that will satisfy the woman's heartβ€”I promise you.

Lin Feibai didn't see it, and at this moment, an imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of the woman's mouth.

A stupid woman knows what to get in exchange for her body, and so does a smart woman.

Lin Feibai, who fled in embarrassment, ran to the post station in a hurry, hurriedly bought the horses, and galloped towards the poppy mountain.

There were no further accidents along the way, and within a few days, I was back in the mountains.

The stone table, the wine cup, and the wooden sword used by the master...... The bits and pieces of the past seven years seem like just yesterday, and everything here is so familiar and reassuring.

After looking around, he didn't see his master, and Lin Feibai was not in a hurry, enjoying the quiet and quiet in the mountains. He lay on the ground, looking at the sky, reminiscing about the seven years he spent living in the mountains.

In the blink of an eye, twilight has arrived, Lin Feibai has already fallen asleep, even if he uses the sky as a quilt and the earth as a pillow, there is no more comfortable sleep than this sleep.

In his sleep, Lin Feibai returned to his childhood, back to the days when he was fighting with the servants in the Lin family's compound, the scene suddenly changed, a group of hateful men broke into the house, burned, killed and robbed, Lin Feibai watched all this with fear, wanted to stop them but couldn't do anything. A figure appeared in front of him, took Lin Feibai's hand, walked to a mountain, and taught Lin Feibai's swordsmanship one move at a time. In the dream, the master's voice was a little stern, and he shouted at the lazy Lin Feibai: "Get up and practice the sword." ”

Lin Feibai was in pain, and he woke up from his dream, and the master in front of him was holding a branch and knocking on Lin Feibai's body.

"Master, it doesn't look like a dream. Long time no see. Lin Feibai smiled stupidly.

Although the master didn't keep a straight face, his tone was still very cold, and he said, "Get up and show me the three tricks I taught you." ”

Lin Feibai didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got up, and performed three swordsmanship.

The master lightly clasped the teacup with his hand, his face sank like water, and said softly: "In the last move, you can only exert fifty percent of your power, which is still far away." ”

Lin Feibai said respectfully: "Yes, presumably if you hone it for a little longer, you will be able to improve a little more." ”

Master sighed and said softly, "How long will it take?" ”

Lin Feibai didn't understand what the master meant: "Huh?"

The master shook his head, did not continue the topic, and asked, "Why did you come back?"

Lin Feibai touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I provoked some people, and I am not their opponent." ”

The master raised his hand, stopped Lin Feibai's words, and beckoned Lin Feibai to follow him into the cave.

Lin Feibai didn't know why, so he obediently followed behind the master.

After a long time, the master threw a sword at Lin Feibai from the depths of the cave. The body of this sword is extremely short, only about one and a half feet, as soon as he touched this sword, Lin Feibai immediately thought of the fisherman who saved him, and hurriedly looked at it carefully.

There are no dazzling rubies on the sword.

Lin Feibai asked casually: "Master, is this your sword?"

The master said, "No, I picked it up and gave it to you." ”

Lin Feibai was overjoyed, thanked the master, and waved it at will. To his surprise, this sword was about the same weight as the wooden sword he used in the past, and it was indescribably easy to use in his hand. It's justβ€”

"Master, isn't this sword too short? Others say that an inch is long and an inch is strong. ”

Master said: "How strong the intention is, how long the sword is." ”

Lin Feibai smashed his mouth, and it was this kind of incomprehensible words.

The master said, "Take the sword, go back, don't disturb my recuperation." ”

Lin Feibai frowned, and just as he was about to speak, the branch in his master's hand was already pointing at Lin Feibai's heart, and a murderous aura like an entity rushed to his face, which frightened Lin Feibai into a clever position.

Lin Feibai swallowed and foamed, nodded slightly, pursed his lips, and withdrew. On the way down the mountain, Lin Feibai felt very uncomfortable, he hadn't seen each other for so long, who knew that he would still be so fierce when he met, he didn't think about the master-apprentice relationship at all, and it was really not a good idea to go to the master.

But there is also a harvest, and the harvest is this sword.

Could it be that with this sword, the power of the sword can be better exerted, or is there any special meaning of this sword?

Lin Feibai couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to think about it, there were a lot of things that he couldn't figure out, and he didn't care about this one thing.

After a brief plan, Lin Feibai's first destination was to leave for Yecheng, and when he was separated from Shen Lin before, he agreed to meet in Yecheng, although it had been a long time, it might be good to try his luck.
