Chapter 4, People Go to the Empty Court

Lin Zheng's appearance changed into the disciples of the Nine Swords Sect that he had seen before, and walked all the way towards the depths of the Nine Swords Sect, as he went deeper, Lin Zheng found that most of the disciples of the Nine Swords Sect were indifferent and did not communicate with each other, even if they passed by, they only acted as if they did not see it, which really made people feel strange.

"What's going on?" Lin Zheng frowned, and he found that although many disciples of the Nine Swords Sect had calluses, they were not as agile as those who practiced swords all year round, but their steps were different and not at all like people from the same sect, with doubts Lin Zheng observed the periphery of the Nine Swords Sect again, and finally was surprised to find that the entire Nine Swords Sect was surrounded by people.

"There has been a big change in the Nine Swords Sect!" Lin Zheng had a loud alarm bell in his heart, and when he looked up, he noticed the wisp of the Nine Swords Sect's ecliptic fortune.

"The trend of decay ......" Lin Zheng thought about it, and decided to return to the small courtyard in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, and stayed for observation.

Not long after Lin Zheng returned to the small courtyard, Yan Liang also returned, still turning into a black shadow and quietly standing beside Lin Zheng.

"What did you find?" Lin Zheng was originally sitting on the couch, and when he saw Yan Liang, he stood up and picked up the teapot and poured Yan Liang a cup of tea.

"There is a problem with this person, no, it should be said that the entire Nine Swords Sect has a problem, and my subordinates have seen this person imprison his little senior sister with more than a dozen disciples of the Nine Swords Sect, I suspect that it is this person who has stolen the heavy treasure of the Nine Swords Sect. ”

"I'm afraid that's not all, the entire Nine Swords Sect's top brass has disappeared, and only many people disguised as disciples of the Nine Swords Sect are acting in the sect, and the Nine Swords Sect is probably more than lucky. Lin Zheng said with a light sigh.

"Then should we leave this place immediately?" I am confident that I will protect the Heavenly Master to break out of the encirclement and descend the mountain safely. Yan Liang's eyes showed a fierce gleam, and when the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, it immediately had a sword glow, and it seemed that he could create a killing karma on this endless end at any time.

"Can you see through Wang Zixuan's strength?" Lin Zheng asked.

"If you can't see through it, it should be an immortal who caresses the top. After a pause, Yan Liang continued: "If you really fight, the outcome is unknown. ”

After pondering for a while, Lin Zheng shook his head and decided not to let Yan Liang take the risk: "Stay and observe first, if it is really hopeless, it is not too late to leave." ”

Seeing this, Yan Liang could only nod and disappear into the room.

Soon after Yan Liang left, Wang Zixuan hurriedly returned, and when he saw Lin Zheng still sitting in the room holding a book and reading, he also smiled slightly: "Brother Lin is so serious about reading, I believe that you will be on the gold list this year." ”

"Borrow Brother Xuan's words. Lin Zhenghe smiled, his smile was as bright as a heartbeat, which completely dispelled Brother Xuan's doubts.

"Hey, you see I'm getting dark, Brother Lin must be hungry, I'll go find you something to eat." Brother Xuan patted his head, as if he had just remembered, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate again.

Lin Zheng looked at Brother Xuan's back from the window, and his eyes gradually showed a look of thought, what kind of role did this person play in this incident?

After a while, Brother Xuan brought a food box and came to Lin Zheng's room to open it, which was a bowl of rice and some side dishes, and a plate of beef that was just cold.

"Coarse tea and light rice. Brother Xuan seemed a little embarrassed.

"It's common to eat and sleep on the way to the exam, and it's great to have food. Lin Zheng didn't mind, chatting with Brother Xuan while eating, talking about some things about rushing to take exams and scholars, Lin Zheng knew that Brother Xuan was tempting, so he answered without leaking.

"I don't know if Brother Lin believes it, Brother Lin is a person with good luck, and he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list this year. Brother Xuan said with a smile, with an unshakable firmness in his eyes as he spoke.

Lin Zheng was stunned, then smiled and nodded: "Borrow Brother Xuan's words again!"

Brother Xuan took away the dishes that Lin Zheng had eaten, and then went back to his room to rest.

The night came quickly, the sky soon deepened, sitting by the window, Lin Zheng could hear someone outside the wall lighting the night lamp hanging on the wall, and he could also hear the sound of Wang Zixuan's in the next room.

The sound of this flute is somewhat familiar......

On the second day, Lin Zheng was woken up by the sound of scandium breaking through the air, so he changed his clothes and walked out of the room to see Wang Zixuan's sassy figure in a yellow Yunshu robe practicing swords.

Seeing that Wang Zixuan had finished practicing his sword, Lin Zhengcai applauded and said, "The Nine Swords Sect's sword technique is worthy of its reputation, and even I, an outsider, can feel the profundity of it. ”

"Haha, Brother Lin praised it falsely. Brother Xuan laughed: "I must have made a noise to Brother Lin when I practiced swords so early." ”

"No, I'm used to waking up early to read. Lin Zheng smiled angrily and carried a wooden bucket to fetch water to wash.

While washing, Lin Zheng knew that Wang Zixuan was out of the yard and didn't come back until breakfast, while holding the food box he held yesterday.

"It's time to eat, Brother Lin. Wang Zixuan entered Lin Zheng's room and simply took out the food in the food box one by one, a few white-flour steamed buns, two bowls of rice porridge and some side dishes: "Let's eat together today, Brother Lin doesn't mind, right?"

Brother Xuan said half-jokingly.

"Don't mind. Lin Zheng smiled and shook his head, picked up the chopsticks by himself, and chatted with Wang Zixuan while eating.

"Brother Lin is going to the Great Zhou Dynasty to catch the exam?"

"Exactly, after all, the Great Zhou Dynasty is the best of the Five Kingdoms, and the imperial examination system is also the most people-friendly. Lin Zheng nodded.

"In the future, when Brother Lin is admitted to the top prize, we may see you again in Luoyang. Wang Zixuan said with a hint of snickering.

"Brother Xuan is also going to the Great Zhou Dynasty to develop?" Lin Zheng wondered.

"No, I am a person from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I came to the Nine Swords Sect just to learn art, and of course I have to go back to the Great Zhou Dynasty after that. Brother Xuan explained.

"I see. Lin Zheng nodded, and at the same time noted in his heart that Wang Zixuan was from the Zhou Dynasty.

"By the way, I received news this morning, the Ten Thousand Swords Conference will not be held this year, if you want to see it, you can only wait for next year, I will send you down the mountain in a while, sorry Brother Lin. Brother Xuan looked apologetic.

Hearing that this year's Ten Thousand Swords Conference was not held, Lin Zheng was slightly surprised, and knew in his heart that it must be related to Wang Zixuan, but Wang Zixuan's strength even Yan Liang couldn't see through it, and the entire endless mountain was full of Wang Zixuan's people, and in the end, Lin Zheng smiled with relief and explained while helping Wang Zixuan put away the dishes and chopsticks

"It's okay, Brother Xuan doesn't have to worry about it, it's just a little regretful that he can't see the wonders of ten thousand swords contending, but it is not worth the trip to be able to get married to Brother Xuan. ”

"There will be a strong wind in the absence of a trace today, so without further ado, let's get down the mountain as soon as possible. Brother Xuan helped Lin Zheng pick up the bookcase.

"Good. ”

After Brother Xuan escorted Lin Zheng all the way to the foot of the mountain, he only made a few leaps and leaped to the top of the mountain.

"Pavilion Master, the Ten Thousand Swords Pool Enchantment will soon be unable to hold on, those who come to participate in the Ten Thousand Swords Pool Conference ......" A man wearing a yellow Yunshu disciple uniform came to Brother Xuan and asked with his fists cupped.

"Kill them all. Brother Xuan had an indifferent look on his face at this time, and while walking towards the Ten Thousand Swords Pool, he asked people to bring the little senior sister who was captured yesterday.

"Okay, old fellow, give up resistance now and let me take away these ten thousand famous swords quickly, I may be able to leave incense for your Nine Swords Sect, otherwise I will kill your own daughter now." "In front of Brother Xuan is a clear pool, and there are three martial arts platforms of different heights standing between several curved but connected small bridges in the pool, which is as beautiful as a landscape flower roll.

On the highest martial arts platform, an old man with white hair and beard was driving the Ten Thousand Swords Pool Great Array to resist the attacks of thousands of people at this time, and behind him were countless wounded disciples of the Nine Swords Sect and their dependents.

"Evil beast, I saved your life from the end of the day without a trace! After that, I even let you worship in the Nine Swords Sect, and you actually want to destroy my sect today?!You!you!" The old man's whole body trembled angrily, and he pointed at Brother Xuan speechless.

"Hmph, don't gossip, don't go down. The sword in Brother Xuan's hand approached the slender neck of the little senior sister a few points.

The little senior sister looked at Brother Xuan, and her eyes were full of gray death: "It turns out that you are such a person." Without waiting for the old man to make a decision, he took the initiative to put his neck on Brother Xuan's sword and killed himself.

"Daughter!!" The white-haired old man's true qi exploded in an instant, and he even accidentally ran into many real people from the Nine Sword Sect under the flurry of true qi.

As soon as the little senior sister died, the white-haired old man seemed to be crazy, and he no longer cared about any formation, and rushed straight up to take Brother Xuan's life, but hundreds of yellow-clothed disciples didn't stop him and really let him come to Wang Zixuan.

The old man's expression was hideous, at this moment, he had already given up his life, no longer using his true qi to suppress the poison, but stabbed a sword at Wang Zixuan with all his might.

This sword contains the old man's lifelong cultivation, and when the sword is released, the sky seems to be a little darker, and in Wang Zixuan's feelings, there seem to be tens of thousands of sword rain blocking the sunlight and pouring towards him.

"I love the sun. Wang Zixuan's eyes darkened slightly, and the moment he finished speaking, the old man's movements seemed to be still, and he actually stopped in the air, and then countless sword marks appeared on the surface of the old man's body, and the old man's body exploded like this, turning into a rain of blood and scattering it around.

"Sect Master?" The eyes of the disciples of the Nine Swords Sect behind him were full of disbelief, their sect master was only a trace away from being a master of the Immortal Lifting Realm, and he could be killed so easily?

"Please give the Cabinet Order. Brother Xuan said alone.

"Leave no mouth alive. Brother Xuan's eyes were flat, as if he was letting people cut down a rotten wood, rather than letting people kill thousands of ordinary disciples who had no power to resist.

Wang Zixuan gave an order, and the towering ancient tree of the Nine Swords Sect, which had stood for hundreds of years and had experienced countless winds and frosts, completely fell.

After giving the order, Wang Zixuan seemed to feel that the sword pool, which was completely stained red by blood donations, and the screams and cries of thousands of people did not have the sense of tranquility of the paradise that he once had, so he turned around and walked back to the courtyard where he lived last night.

Wang Zixuan stood at the gate of the courtyard and quietly looked at Lin Zheng's room, but unfortunately there were already people in the court, Wang Zixuan's eyes darkened, and then he thought of seeing Lin Zheng again in Luoyang City, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"When I say goodbye, I will see you as you really are, and I wonder if you will recognize me. ”

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Zheng quietly watched as the auspicious clouds representing the luck of the Nine Swords Sect gradually dispersed, this place was no longer a blessed land, and the luck accumulated over hundreds of years had not resisted this catastrophe.

"I wonder what the future catastrophe of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be?" Lin Zheng frowned deeply.
