Let's say that when a few people returned to the mansion, when the night was ugly, Ren Dingbei had already waited in the main hall with the officers and soldiers, and was only slightly surprised to see Lin Yi and others carrying an injured peasant woman in.

Xiang Zhicheng held down the woman's throat and said, "Tell Senior Brother Ren, this aunt is seriously injured, I will take it to rescue first." As for the specific reason, I would like to ask Senior Brother Lin to report to you, and I am at fault today...... Xiang X pleaded guilty. ”

Hearing him say this, Shao Yanling immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Ren, I and Senior Brother Lin are also wrong, it is definitely not Zhicheng's fault alone, I hope Senior Brother Ren will show mercy." ”

Ren Dingbei nodded to Xiang Zhicheng, and turned his eyes to the other two: "You two come into the room with me to talk in detail." ”

The soldiers helped Xiang Zhicheng carry the peasant woman away, while Lin Yi followed Ren Dingbei and walked slowly, passing by the dormitory, but saw Gu Wanxi standing by the door, staring at him with his eyes full of worry, so he smiled gently: "I'm fine, Miss Gu go and rest." ”

Gu Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest and said, "I won't sleep, wait for you to come back." ”

Ren Dingbei turned around when he heard this, and showed a meaningful look at Lin Yi. Lin Yi smacked his tongue in embarrassment, and his tone was quite helpless: "Brother Ren, I think you misunderstood." ”

Everyone entered the house one after another, sat down around the table of the eight immortals, and the guards came in and served a pot of hot tea and a plate of dried fruits, and then closed the door and left. Shao Yanling rushed to tell the truth, and deliberately accentuated the tone in the place where Lin Yi and his aunt were arguing, as if he had really become a villain who bullied women, and he and Xiang Zhicheng were chivalrous people who saw injustice.

Lin Yi listened quietly, reached out to take the teacup, skimmed off the floating leaves with the lid, and took two sips slowly, not in a hurry to defend.

Ren Dingbei was so troubled by her quarrel that he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I know it's a misunderstanding...... Don't worry, now is the time to employ people, I won't punish Senior Brother Xiang for no reason, you go out first, I still have something to ask Lin Yi. ”

"Hmph. Shao Yanling stood up with half anger and half resentment, glanced at Lin Yi before leaving, and then turned his head out of the house.

The heat of the fragrant tea drove away the damp cold of the spring night, Lin Yi held the tea cup, his face was gloomy, he suddenly entered a strange place last night, was attacked by a ghost, and saw that he was about to win, and was pulled back to the present world, and almost injured Gu Wanxi by mistake.

Not long after, he heard the peasant woman crying for help and hurried there, but was stopped by Xiang Zhicheng and the others, allowing the faceless ghost to take the opportunity to escape.

In just one night, one after another happened, as if it had been calculated. Lin Yi thought hard about it, but the clues were fragmented, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Ren Dingbei looked confused at him, and asked, "Brother Lin, are you in trouble?"

"Nope. Lin Yi responded lightly, raised his head and drank the tea, paused, and suddenly changed his words: "If you want to talk about trouble, there is really one thing." ”

"It's okay for you to be outspoken. Ren Ding sat at the north end, waiting for his next step.

Lin Yi hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "Brother Ren...... I don't want to pretend to be a villain anymore. ”

"Why?" Ren Dingbei was startled on the spot, stood up suddenly, and almost knocked over the table.

Lin Yi said: "If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have caused Xiang Zhicheng and them to misunderstand today, causing that woman to be injured by a monster." ”

Ren Dingbei was suddenly dumbfounded, and was stunned for a while before he said: "It's no wonder that you're going to do this, Brother Lin, don't worry." ”

Lin Yi put down the teacup, shook his head and said, "As a spiritual official, I didn't save innocent people, so I should have taken responsibility, how can I get rid of it?"

Ren Dingbei frowned, and asked rhetorically, "Lin Yi, what did you enter the Heavenly Book Mansion for?"

"Eradicate the Northern Youyou Cult, restore the people to a peaceful life, and recreate a peaceful and prosperous world. Lin Yi replied solemnly, and then said: "The kid's heart is always there, and he has never forgotten it. ”

And the matter of avenging his mother, the memories are too sad and he doesn't want to mention it.

"That's right. Ren Dingbei agreed, and his voice changed: "If you want to completely defeat the Immortal Sect, the Heavenly Book Mansion must first work together! Now that the Eight Peaks Spirit Officials are working separately, they need a smart junior like you to break the predicament." Tianzun's intention, not only do you want to be an example for young disciples, but also have to be their enemy, just as the trend of the north and the south is today, with the northern wolf by the side, the four kings of the south form an alliance to resist the enemy. ”

"I understand, but ......"

"I understand your suffering, but if you want to achieve great things, there will be sacrifices, all for the sake of the overall situation. Ren Dingbei interrupted and comforted: "Senior Brother Lin, I have wronged you." ”

"Sacrifice?" Lin Yi smiled bitterly, remembering the bloody tragic situation of the peasant woman, and sighed helplessly: "What Brother Ren taught me is that the kid is soft-hearted for a while, please forget it." ”

After saying that, he stood up silently, bowed to Ren Dingbei, and said goodbye to the house.

Passing by Xiang Zhicheng's bedroom, there was a man's scream of pain inside, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then stopped and stretched out his hand to push the door.

"Squeak-" The door opened, and the heat mixed with the smell of medicine hit the face. Suddenly, the room was in a mess, the peasant woman was sleeping on the bed with her eyes closed, the blood oozing from her throat soaked the sheets, and Xiang Zhicheng was holding a cotton cloth to clean her wounds.

Another fisherman, with his broken foot, was lying on a couch next to him, his eyes looking at the roof, and his mouth moaning.

Xiang Zhicheng had a white scarf tied to his forehead, which had been dyed yellow-brown by sweat at the moment. After cleaning the peasant woman's wounds, he threw down the cotton cloth, put his palms against the other party's chest, and slowly poured the spiritual energy into his body.

After half an hour, the peasant woman's broken throat sprouted flesh buds, intertwined with each other, and began to heal slowly.

After eliminating the tea effort, Xiang Zhicheng finally withdrew his hand to collect the work, and it was not until this time that he realized Lin Yi's existence.

"Senior Brother Lin—why are you here?" he asked blankly.

Lin Yi saw that his eyes were sunken and his face was full of tiredness, and his heart was greatly touched, and he said softly: "Senior Brother Xiang has worked hard, do you want me to help?"

Xiang Zhicheng looked at the peasant woman's injury, and said sweatingly: "Whew...... I have saved my aunt's life, and I have a few months left to lie down and recuperate. ”

Lin Yi thought for a while and proposed, "I still have aura, and I can completely cure her." ”

"Absolutely not!" Xiang Zhicheng hurriedly stopped, and when he saw Lin Yi frowning, he immediately explained: "Using aura to heal injuries is to stimulate vitality in the human body and overdraft the essence. We monks can make up for it by using the aura of heaven and earth, so there is no future trouble, but for mortals, it will greatly lose her life, and if such a serious injury is cured today, I am afraid she will not be able to live for a few years. ”

"I see, thank you for your advice. Lin Yi was about to go out after speaking, when he suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Xiang, has Senior Sister Shao come to look for you?"

Xiang Zhicheng looked at him slightly, and thought: "Senior Sister Yanling just came once, and I told her to rest early...... Brother Lin said this, does she still have something to explain to me?"

"Ah, no, I asked casually, Brother Xiang doesn't have to worry about it. Lin Yi smiled lightly and bowed away.

Transferred to the dormitory, Gu Wanxi was still waiting by the door with candles, Lin Yi pretended to be annoyed and urged her to enter the house together.

By the dim candle flame, Lin Yi took off his clothes and shoes, rested the light knife on the head of the bed, and was about to sleep, but the black eagle poked his head out of the beam of the room, blinked his bloody eyes and asked, "Lin Gongzi, you went to be a thief in the middle of the night?"

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "Yes, I went to steal the man, but unfortunately I was stopped by two people who didn't have long eyes." ”

"Huh?" Black Hawk instantly raised his voice and screamed, "There is such a beautiful thing - why didn't you take me with you!"

Before Lin Yi could speak, Gu Wanxi's face was already pale with fright, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Lord Lin, are you as good as Longyang?"

The tone was full of regret and unwillingness......

"I said Miss Gu. Lin Yi sat on the bed, looked up at the roof, and let out a desperate cry: "Can you not be so rigid, I'm just kidding, the kid only likes beautiful women like flowers and jade." ”

"Oh...... All right. Gu Wanxi's face was full of shame, she blew out the candle and turned over to bed, hiding in the futon in embarrassment.

Black Eagle said with a smile: "Hehe, Lin Gongzi likes me, he expressed it so bluntly, tell you a secret, this girl is very happy~"

"Tsk, Miss Qin is so daring, do you dare to tease me?" Lin Yi touched the scabbard, "How ripe do you want to be roasted?"

"Your Excellency, spare your life. Black Hawk immediately confessed, and shivered on the beams of the house.

Lin Yi covered the futon, still kept his eyes open, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Miss Qin Rou, I will take you to Shao Yanling's house to inquire and see if she is asleep." ”

"Shao Yanling-that female spirit officer?" Black Eagle was stunned for a moment, then remembered this name, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing with her, are you interesting to others?"

"Nope. Lin Yi immediately denied it and explained in a low voice: "After observing these days, Senior Sister Shao has a rough temper and loves to be in the limelight, and may lack parental care when she was young, and she is more eager to get the attention of others. ”

"So what?"

According to her character, she attaches great importance to those close to her, and she is more protective of her shortcomings. ”

"I ...... Don't understand. Black Hawk said confusedly.

She cares about Xiang Zhicheng. Lin Yi sorted out his thoughts, and then continued: "I went to visit Senior Brother Xiang's house today, and I thought she would help there, but I didn't see her, so I felt a little strange. ”

"Okay, I'll check it out right away. The Black Eagle flapped its wings and flew into the night.

Lin Yi didn't wait long for the knife to be on his pillow, and the black eagle jumped back into the house and complained in a low voice: "Miss Shao slept well in the house, and you are too suspicious." ”

"I'm sorry, but I was overthinking. Only then did Lin Yi settle down.

Black Eagle said with a wry smile: "Miss Shao is a big girl with yellow flowers, how can she stay in the men's room in the middle of the night, and are you not afraid of gossip outside?

Hearing this, Gu Wanxi's futon moved obviously.

Lin Yi was used to seeing the women of the Qinglou accompanying guests, and let them hug and be intimate, and his heart was as calm as water. There are even girls who see that he looks cute and cute, and he has nothing to do to come to talk and tease, he has already practiced and is not messy, and he does not care about the difference between men and women.

"Sleep, the Ming Dynasty still has to go into the mountains to search for the whereabouts of monsters, and you have to recuperate. Lin Yi closed his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the distant sky shines brightly, illuminating the fishing village on the south bank, and a terrible cry breaks the silence of the village: "It hurts—you just kill me!"

Lin Yi woke up in shock, pulled out his long knife almost instantly, turned over and got out of bed, kicked open the door, and rushed out of the house!

In the corridor, a group of people gathered outside Xiang Zhicheng's door, Lin Yi pushed straight in, only to see the fisherman with a broken foot stretching out his injured leg from the couch, Xiang Zhicheng kneeling and squatting beside him, holding a dagger in his hand to scrape the fisherman's wounds.

Lin Yi looked closely, and the fisherman's calves were covered with green spots, and the wounds seemed to be moldy, rotten, and emitting a pungent stench.

And Xiang Zhicheng was slowly cutting off the carrion with a dagger, and every time he moved, the fishermen would let out a miserable scream and be in pain.

"Something is wrong, I have obviously cured him, how could it be like this?" Xiang Zhicheng said in a trembling voice, his eyes were dark, and he obviously didn't sleep all night.
