Lin Yi went straight to the workshop, there were few spiritual officials in the workshop today, and most of the mechanics were resting. Duan Ruyi was napping on her stomach, covered in oil, sleeping sloppy, and without the reserve of a rich lady at all.

Lin Yi waited for a while, but didn't see her wake up for a long time, so he had to pat her on the shoulder and shouted softly, "Miss Duan, the sun is about to set." ”

"What, you're going to get off work?"

A word woke up the person in the dream, Duan Ruyi jumped up, turned her head to look at the sky outside the door, and instantly turned back to a bitter gourd face, complaining: "Okay, Xiao Linzi, you have nothing to do with me!"

Lin Yi's expression was pleasant, and he smiled softly: "I thought that Miss Duan was fond of mechanical arts, and no matter how hard she was, she couldn't feel tired." ”

"Hey, no matter how much you like something, you will always get tired of doing it for a long time. Duan Ruyi waved her hand and asked, "What are you looking for me to do today?"

Lin Yi took out the Xuanjia and Hanguang and explained: "Two days ago, the kid had an accident, and I bothered Miss Duan to help me make the secondary scabbard and the tether of the wrist armor. ”

"Simple. Duan Ruyi took the things, put them on the craftsman's table, rummaged in front of the shelves for a while, picked up two white wooden boards, looked at them intently, and felt that the material was suitable, so she returned to the craftsman's table to operate.

Lin Yi stood behind her and watched silently, only to see Duan Ruyi put Hanguang on the wooden board, and then dipped some ink with a pointed bamboo tube pen, and carefully drew lines along the blade...... After completion, another plank was concocted according to law.

Lin Yi looked at the point, waited for Duan Ruyi to bring the chisel, and took the initiative to ask Ying, "Let me do the manual work." ”

He snatched the hammer and the steel chisel, and struck down the ink line, and with a little force, the tip of the cone sank into half an inch, and the sawdust rolled up. Duan Ruyi frowned and said, "Tap, hit the back of the knife first." ”

Lin Yi looked embarrassed, laughed twice, pulled out the steel blade, started from the other side, slowly carved a few points, and then changed places to re-chisel.

Duan Ruyi supervised for a while, and saw that his technique was steady and his strength was free, so he put his mind at ease, picked up the Xuanjia, and walked to the opposite side to work.

As soon as Lin Yi punched the back side of the knife, Duan Ruyi reminded: "The blade should be thin, and the chisel should be struck in obliquely." ”

"I see. Lin Yi replied respectfully.

Duan Ruyi sewed a piece of leather on the inside of her wrist armor, trimmed off the corners, and looked up at the opposite side from time to time to prevent Lin Yi from messing up. After the ties were tied, Lin Yi also finished chiseling two planks.

Duan Ruyi put down the Xuanjia, found the planer, leveled the groove of the scabbard, and then put in the light cover tightly to check whether it fits.

When everything was ready, the two sawed off the excess wood around them, and Duan Ruyi glued the wooden board with glutinous rice glue, leaving only half an inch thick outer wall, and then took sandpaper to continue grinding and polishing.

Time passed quietly, the sun was setting, and the people in the workshop had already left. Duan Ruyi glued the pearl fish skin to the sheath, sewed the interface with a needle and thread, put it into the metal device and buckled it, tied the thread belt, and finally formed.

Lin Yixiang played with the brand-new scabbard, thanked Duan Ruyi solemnly, put on his wrist armor, and said goodbye. went down to the mountainside and reunited with Black Eagle and Gu Wanxi, who had not seen each other for many months, and everyone was very kind.

The black eagle chirped and said, "If it weren't for the old man with the red beard who came to visit with a gift and told you that you practiced at the top of the peak, I would have fallen into the ravine." ”

"Sister Qin, don't want a crow's mouth. Gu Wanxi said angrily, and turned to a smile: "Lord Lin, go back to the house to rest, I'll cook two side dishes." ”

She turned her head and wanted to leave, but Lin Yi hurriedly said: "Tianzun sent me down the mountain to eliminate demons, senior brothers and sisters have already set off, we can't delay any longer." ”

Gu Wanxi was slightly stunned when she heard this, then reacted, nodded and said, "Then I'll quickly pack up my things, and the adults will sit for a while." ”

"Good. Lin Yi followed into the house, took out the wooden basin in the corner, took off his shirt in the courtyard, and scrubbed his body with water, and the water flowed down his muscles to wash away the fatigue of many days.

He closed his eyes and exercised, feeling the small stream of aura in his body, after months of penance, the demon pill of Gusu Bird has been refined by him, and he has grown for five years, and his inner pill is also growing stronger and stronger.

Lin Yi came back to his senses, wrung out the towel, wiped his body, put on a brand-new coat, armed with a knife, and looked up to see Gu Wanxi standing at the door.

She carried her bags and smiled at Lin Yi: "I'm fine." ”

"Go down the mountain~" Black Hawk cheered and flew out of the courtyard. Lin Yi smiled helplessly, splashed the dirty water, locked the door, turned around to take his luggage, and walked out of the yard, but felt refreshed.

......

The moonlight spread over the hill, Lin Yi threw up an iron card, and held it in the air with a wave of his palm. Black Hawk's eyes were sharp, and he saw the words "Night Candle Club" on it, and asked urgently: "What kind of treasure is this?"

Lin Yi said: "This thing was given by Kun Dao Ling Xuzi, and it has been left idle at home, so I didn't intend to see it, so I took it with me." ”

"It's swarthy, it doesn't seem to be worth much—take a detour to the left, there's a ditch ahead. Black Hawk turned his bloody eyes, guiding the way.

Lin and Gu went down the mountain overnight, and finally caught up with the team in front at dawn the next day, and kept a distance of 100 paces, not approaching.

A group of guards surrounded the Lingguan like a moon, rushing towards the post station, and Ren Dingbei and the others found Lin Yi and them, but they pretended not to know each other and turned a blind eye.

Shao Yanling was even more deliberately noisy, giggling with a few companions, chatting with her eyebrows and smiling, as if she wanted to stimulate Lin Yi in this way.

"Senior Brother Xiang, as long as a few of us work together, any monster and ghost can be caught, and then someone will have to kowtow and admit defeat!"

"Senior sister is right, junior brother, it is the first time I have gone down the mountain to kill demons, if there is any drag, please bear with me. Xiang Zhicheng hugged his fists, feeling quite nervous.

The voice came from afar, Gu Wanxi rubbed her sleepy eyelids, her face was inexplicable, and she asked strangely: "Lord Lin, they seem to have an opinion on you?"

"Huh. Lin Yi laughed dumbly, then changed his attitude and shouted loudly: "Whatever, only waste will huddle together to keep warm!"

Gu Wanxi was suddenly surprised, frowning and thinking: "Why is Lord Lin sarcastic, he is not usually such a person?"

Black Eagle also wondered, "Childe, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Lin Yi, don't go too far!" Shao Yanling turned her head angrily and glared at him, her face flushed.

Lin Yi spread his hands and sneered, and asked in a loud voice, "Are you not convinced?"

"Senior Sister Shao, don't be angry with this kind of person, it's not worth hurting your liver and lungs. Xiang Zhicheng persuaded Shao Yanling and pulled her forward quickly.

The spiritual officials went to the post station to borrow horses, and traveled in the morning and evening, rested at noon, and camped late at night to sleep. Lin Yi always kept a hundred steps away, neither close nor far away, occasionally mocking a few words, and there was nothing wrong all the way.

The journey was long, and Ren Dingbei made a big fanfare, without hiding the identity of the spirit official, and the state government organized people to welcome them along the way. It is the Spring Festival, every household still has a surplus, and everywhere she goes, Shao Yanling will take her brother and sister to the banquet; Ren Dingbei has good wine, and she is happy to accompany her.

Lin Yi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and a few days later, he made an appointment with Ren Dingbei alone to talk, urging them to leave. Ren Dingbei smiled and agreed, counted the team the next day, and set off again.

In February, the river thawed, the snow melted, and the spring swallow mud flew into the border city. The climate began to warm up, everyone took off their heavy coats, the terrain gradually eased, and finally arrived at the eastern border of the cloud country.

On this day, the county guard, who had already learned of the news, led the people to pick up the driver thirty miles west of the city, and rushed over and shouted: "Xiaguan is the county guard of Qingbo City, Wei Maodian, see Lord Lingguan!"

The servants behind him led the people, and the black pressure fell to their knees. Lin Yi turned sideways to avoid it, and Black Eagle shouted: "Hey, what a big posture, Childe will learn from them in the future." ”

"Good don't learn. Lin Yi feigned anger, raised his hand over his shoulder, and patted it on the head.

Hearing Black Eagle speak, Wei Maodian was shocked and thought: "Eagles can actually speak human words, they are really immortals." ”

Immediately, the head was buried even lower.

Ren Dingbei stretched out his hand to help him up, and was polite for a while, but he couldn't get rid of the banquet, so he had no choice but to enter the customs with the officers and soldiers. Looking back, Lin Yi had already taken the female protector, blended into the crowd, and disappeared.

The mansion was full of lanterns, and the diners were like clouds during the banquet, Wei Maodian took advantage of the strength of the wine and said endlessly: "Lord Ren, the local area is a thousand-year-old ancient city, and in the past, the sea business was flourishing, and the other princes communicated with each other, and they were rich and prosperous. Poor was affected by the war, destroyed by the hands of the Northern Demon Water Demon, and was not rebuilt until thirty years ago, and now it is just getting a little better, but again-"

Wei Maodian's voice suddenly stopped, and he sighed slowly, speechless.

"What's wrong?" Ren Dingbei's expression was solemn, and after only thinking for a moment, he asked, "But there are demons at work?"

Wei Maodian's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and praised: "Ren Lingguan is like a god, and he has indeed caused some trouble recently." ”

He told the story of how there was a small island more than twenty miles east of the harbor, and on the island was a fishing village, and not long ago a faceless monster appeared, cunning and treacherous, and extremely difficult to deal with. The sergeants sent suffered heavy casualties, but no one ever saw the true appearance of the demon, and those who survived lost their minds.

Ren Dingbei muttered to himself: "Qingbo Island...... Faceless ...... Half of the defenders have mysteriously disappeared?"

He rubbed his chin and asked with a serious expression, "Where is that monster now?"

"I'm afraid it's still on the island. Wei Maodian said, staring at him directly, lest he was unwilling to help.

"Please rest assured, Brother Wei, our spiritual officers are here specifically for this matter. Ren Dingbei patted his chest and promised.

When the banquet ended, he was drunkenly helped back by the guards and slept until noon the next day. Wei Maodian sent someone to wake them up, and told them in every possible way to send them out of the mansion and all the way to the harbor.

The fishermen waited in the boat, took the spirit officer and the guards to the deck, and looked around at the head of the North Ring Road, but Lin Yi was never seen, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

At this time, a voice came from the canopy: "Brother Ren, are you looking for me?"

Ren Dingbei was stunned when he heard the sound, and then hurriedly lifted the curtain, only to see Lin Yi sitting next to the desk, and there was a pretty female protector opposite.

"So you're here?" he yelled in surprise.

Lin Yi smiled, turned his head sideways and said: "The scenery here is beautiful, the sea breeze is pleasant, and the waves are very blue, which is worthy of the name of Qingbo City." ”

Ren Dingbei bent down and shrunk his shoulders, squeezed into the cabin, and hummed: "Senior Brother Lin, where did you run last night, it will make me easy to find for a while!"

"It's rare to come to the bay, and the younger brother walks around with his friends to learn about the local folk customs. ”

The two chatted vigorously, Gu Wanxi sat quietly, the fishermen shouted the trumpet, and the fleet untied the rope and set off. After a few moments, an island was revealed in the distance, and the forest above it was lush and full of life.

But if you look closely, the center of the island is sunken, like a crescent moon, and like a huge mouth, waiting for the arrival of uninvited guests.
