Chapter Twenty-Five: Finding the Thief's Cave and Traveling Far Away
Seven or eight days passed, Lin Renjie finally recovered from his injuries, and his skills went to the next level. On behalf of the Lin clan, he went to the six gates of Shuiyuan Mansion to wait for the dispatch.
Lin Zhao these days, except for greeting his elders, he didn't go out, and went to the Lin Library every day to study. The profound influence of his previous life made Lin Zhao think that knowledge could change his fate in the depths of his consciousness.
For martial arts practice, Lin Zhao changed his routine and practiced meditation instead of sleep every night. Internal Qi Cultivator Lin Zhao has some ideas and is trying.
Lin Zhao wanted to form a true qi vortex in the sea of dantian qi, and finally achieve its goal of being able to spontaneously rotate and purify true qi at all times. But progress is slow, and we need to keep trying.
For the "Jianghai Infinite Fist", which integrates the external skills of a hundred schools, now after practicing the internal strength, it is also necessary to continue to integrate the exercises in the mind. seemed to be casual for a while, but it was full of Lin Zhao's own arrangement.
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Zhao tried to show up as little as possible, firstly, he really did not have time, and secondly, from the bottom of his heart, there was always a sense of alienation that he did not seem to belong here.
Lin Zhao himself didn't know how he had such a strange idea, but he couldn't think of a reason, and it was definitely not the so-called social phobia in his previous life.
In addition, Lin Zhao also has a layer of thoughts, he was as tired as a dog in his previous life, running around for survival, and he wants to live his own life in this life. Therefore, except for the closest people in the Lin Mansion, Lin Zhao didn't want to be involved too much, so he was fettered.
The days were as dull as water, but Lin Zhao was so busy that he gave up going to the library to study. Except for a few relatives, Lin Zhao seemed to have devoted all his body and mind to martial arts practice.
The reason for the insecurity at the beginning has been slowly eliminated, and Lin Zhao now likes martial arts cultivation purely and enjoys it from the depths of his soul.
Half a year has passed, Lin Renjie has returned to the Lin Mansion twice, and he has made great progress in the investigation of the "Red Lotus Sect".
There are secret orders in the six gates, and all localities act without authorization, and everything is subject to orders.
Lin Zhao has gained a lot, first of all, the lower dantian qi sea has formed a true qi vortex, which is spontaneously rotating, constantly refining Lin Zhao's true qi and making it more pure.
"Jianghai Infinite Boxing" also integrates the essence of nearly 100 internal exercises, and removes the hidden dangers of exercises such as conflicts and repetitions. And according to the different fist intentions, it is summarized into nine styles: Jiuyuan style, Qianshan style, Wanliu style, Dingyue style, barrage style, sea style, stepping on the sky, meteorite style, and Tibetan style. It is really Lin Zhao's masterpiece of boxing, and now it is only a sketch creation, and it needs countless actual battles and fights to test and correct.
In the evening of this day, Lin Renjie hurriedly returned to the Lin Mansion and first went to the courtyard of Mrs. Lin. Then the Lin Mansion held a meeting of elders in the secret room overnight, the content of which is unknown.
Beginning on the second day, one secret order after another came out of the Lin Clan's Mansion with a special harrier eagle. All the shops in all parts of the Lin clan were closed, and no matter whether the main vein or branch vein around Shuiyuan Mansion, the children of important clans returned to the Lin clan's mansion.
At the same time, he also summoned the people of the Lin clan of the Dawu Jingshi to follow the supreme instructions of the clan, including Lin Renbo, who served as the secretary of the Dawu State Officials, Lin Renyi, the squire of the Criminal Department, and Lin Renhai, the commander of the five battalions of the Jiumen Tidu Prefecture, and so on. This is a joint secret order of the Lin clan elders and the head of the family, and those who violate it will be expelled from the clan.
A few days passed in a hurry, and on this day, Lin Renjie returned to the Lin Mansion again, directly called Lin Zhao and his father Lin Renzhong, and went to the courtyard of Mrs. Lin together.
Lin Zhao looked at Lin Renjie's serious face on the Taishi chair opposite, and knew that something big must happen. Sure enough, Lin Renjie's following words confirmed his guess.
More than ten days ago, the masters of the "Red Lotus Sect" came out and wiped out the top clan of Zhaoyang Mansion, the Ma Clan. Zhaoyang Mansion is not far from Shuiyuan Mansion, and Mu'an Mansion is separated by it. The Zhaoyang Ma clan is also a great clan that has been inherited for more than 100 years, mainly engaged in iron ore and forging, and is the main supplier of weapons and armor for the military of the Dawu Kingdom.
The operation "Red Lotus Sect" has long been planned, from the weapons workshops, shops to the Ma clan mansion were attacked at the same time, all of them were martial arts masters, the action was rapid, a large number of Ma clan people were killed, weapons and inventory iron ingots were seized together, and the Ma clan mansion was burned to the ground. Six Doors and other joint action masters and the Zhaoyang Government arrived, and the thieves had already left, leaving a place of chicken feathers.
After the fact, everyone thought that the "Red Lotus Sect" was "killing chickens and making an example of monkeys", and secondly, it was also to snatch supplies and prepare for a large-scale military rebellion.
When the emperor of Dawu Kingdom heard this, he was furious and ordered that the six doors must be explained within three months, otherwise they would be strictly investigated.
After this incident, the major families of the Great Martial Kingdom were also a little panicked, for fear of becoming the next target of the "Red Lotus Sect", which was also the direct reason why the Lin clan was strictly guarding against it a few days ago.
Cheng Yingyu, the head catcher of the six doors, was also under great pressure, and then distributed the pressure to the six doors of the state capitals, and even sent a message to the major families. Reasoning with the major families, taking evidence of crimes, and a posture of dying together, forcing the major families to serve their lives.
On the one hand, they were afraid of the attack of the "Red Lotus Sect", and on the other hand, they were unwilling to tear their faces with the six doors, so the officials and the people worked together, and finally made a discovery, and found out where the main altar of the "Red Lotus Sect" in Dawu Country was.
Six Doors Cheng Commander launched all his forces, led by Six Gates, supplemented by the top masters of the major families and gangs in the rivers and lakes, and the army pressed the formation, wanting to act together after five days to annihilate the "Red Lotus Sect" in one fell swoop.
Lin Renjie came back this time, mainly to call Lin Zhao and go together to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the "Red Lotus Sect" main altar. But this matter is important, Lin Zhao is the guardian of the next generation of the clan secretly hidden by Old Lady Lin, and whether it is exposed at this time needs to be carefully considered.
After listening to Lin Renjie's words, Mrs. Lin quickly brushed her long beard with her fingers, lowered her head and muttered silently. After half a ring, he looked up at Lin Renzhong and asked, "Renzhong, what do you think?"
Lin Renzhong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said directly: "Everything depends on your old hands, Renzhong has no objection!"
Old lady Lin shook her head with a smile and looked at Lin Zhao again. "Zhao'er, what do you mean, do you want to participate in the action?"
"My grandson wants to participate, and I also officially meet the many martial arts masters in my Great Martial Kingdom. Lin Zhao also smiled and groaned.
"What's good, Zhao'er and your fifth uncle participated in the encirclement and suppression. It's just that grandpa has a request, you must do what you can, and you must not take risks. The son of a daughter, you can't sit down, this trip is mainly to increase your knowledge, presumably with your martial arts cultivation, you should be able to keep yourself safe!"
Then he turned his head to Lin Renjie and said, "Renjie, in this operation, you have to take good care of it, don't go to snatch the credit of Laoshizi." Zhao'er is the hope of the next generation of my Lin clan, if Zhao'er makes a mistake, I only ask you!"
Lin Renjie clenched his fists and said yes, not daring to hesitate at all. Several people discussed it again, and finally decided to let Lin Zhao change his appearance and hide his true identity to participate in this encirclement and suppression.
The method of changing the appearance, Lin Zhao has already read it in the "Wudian Pavilion", and the key is also to comprehend the essence, and this real operation is the first time.
Lin Zhao first went to Lin's "Secret Medicine Building" to mix some potions by himself; Lin Renjie helped to go to the "Kit Kat Building" and received a pair of fake beards; and helped to get a sackcloth and a green bamboo hat in the "Tiangong Building". After that, the two came to Lin Renjie's room together and began to put on makeup.
"Drug Building", "Kit Kat Building" and "Tiangong Building" are all located in the "Zhige Hall", which belongs to the secret institutions of the Lin family. When the children of the Lin family need to go out on a mission or go through training, they will receive all kinds of useful auxiliary supplies from here.
The things produced here are exquisite, take Mai as an example, which is a cloth woven from the silk of the king of the earth mixed with the heavenly wind hemp, and it is sewn by skilled craftsmen who spend a lot of time. It has the effects of waterproofing, moisture insulation, mosquito repellent, etc., and also has the ability to slightly protect the blade. Even in the Lin clan, not everyone can receive it when they go out.
The green bamboo hat is made of "three-inch bamboo" with unusual toughness. "Three-inch bamboo" is a kind of bamboo that grows in a cold place, grows slowly, and only grows three inches a year, so it is named "three-inch bamboo".
The hat made from it is lightweight and has excellent protection. When the "Tiangonglou" was fabricated, a layer of refined steel wire mesh was added to the top of the head and the edge. Worn on the head, rainproof, sunscreen, protect the head from cold arrows, three-inch bamboo can exude a cool breath, make people clear-headed, it is a necessary artifact for traveling. It's just that it's not easy to build, and it can be used by ordinary people.
After some makeup, a tall man with a sallow face and a black mustache appeared in the mirror, wearing sackcloth, wearing a green bamboo hat, and carrying a cowhide backpack on both shoulders. Hehe, it's time to go on a trip, Lin Zhao complained in his heart. Well, it seems that a pair of sunglasses are missing.
The potion applied on the face is improved by Lin Zhao according to the disfigurement potion, and some other herbs are added to it, which has no side effects on the skin, and it is easy to remove it, just wash your face with another potion, or it will naturally restore your complexion after half a year.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Zhao followed Lin Renjie, rode on the dragon scale horse, and headed east.
The destination of this trip takes three days, and it is more than 1,000 miles away in Huichuan Province.
The "Red Lotus Sect" is also shrewd, and it actually set up the "General Altar" where.
Huichuan Prefecture is located at the confluence of four rivers, and the state capital is dotted with rivers and lakes. The three rivers of Tianqing River, Huanhua River and Hongyang River converge in the Nanling River, with abundant rivers and developed water transportation. Merchants from the east, west, north and south gather here, relying on the developed water transportation turnover materials, the business is developed, and it is the famous "land of fish and rice". The "Red Lotus Sect" has set up a general altar here, and what is important is the convenient water transportation conditions that extend in all directions.
The place where the four rivers meet is Huijiang City, and it is also where the yamen of Huichuan Prefecture is located. This place has a large population, bustling with people coming and going from the south to the north, and people moving from the east to the west are constantly moving, and there are many faces, which is easy to hide.
According to the news obtained by the secret agents of Ju Liumen, the "Red Lotus Sect" placed the main altar seven or eight miles outside the city of Huijiang City, on an island in the middle of the Nanling River.
The island is four or five miles in size, dividing the Nanling River into two, and has always been a cargo transit wharf, no one thought that the "Red Lotus Sect" would set up a general altar in this place where people come and go, just took the mind of "black under the lamp", no wonder the six doors of the Great Martial Kingdom will be found by families and masters of the rivers and lakes from all over the world.
After three days of traveling, in the evening of this day, Lin Zhao's uncle and nephew finally rushed to the outside of Huijiang City.
Exactly: the evil demons are raging in the Great Martial Realm, and the uncle and nephew are riding thousands of miles!
