The old man's eyes were full of flowers, and before he saw Lin Yi make a move, a few clear sword lights had appeared out of thin air, crisscrossing above his head, turning into an impenetrable snare. The resentful spirits roared out, but like a wave hitting a reef, they instantly fell apart and scattered into nothing.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi got up with a knife, stepped over a few zhang in one step, his sleeves fluttered in the wind, and he raised his hand to chop.

A cold light pierced his eyes, and the old man was shocked, and hurriedly waved his flag, "Smack!" The two objects collided, but the thing was a scabbard......

"Not good!" he exclaimed, immediately turning his qi armor, and then his neck was cold, and his eyes flew high, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and he turned upside down in the air. When he fell back, he saw Lin Yi standing behind a headless corpse, the treasure knife in his hand had just slashed through the broken neck, and the blood arrow was spraying.

"What's wrong with me?"

The old man asked himself in confusion, and when his head fell into the grass, his eyes were still confused for a long time before he slowly closed them.

Lin Yi swung his blade to shake off the bloodstains, leaned over to pick up the scabbard, and then tied it back to his waist. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, so he looked up, and a wisp of remnant soul flew out of the old man's skull, swaying and fleeing to the north.

"Want to go?" Lin Yi's voice continued, and a person and an eagle came running down the mountain, in no particular order. Gu Wanxi opened her mouth and shouted, "My lord, I'm glad you're okay!"

"It's a good time!" Lin Yixi said, "Miss Gu, the sacrifice list-"

Gu Wanxi was a little stunned, then understood the meaning, and untied the demon slaying list with her backhand, several golden chains shot out of it, jumped dozens of feet, locked the old man's remnant soul, and quickly dragged it back into the list, turning it into a portrait.

"Let me go, you little ghosts won't die well!"

The old man scolded angrily and disappeared, Gu Wanxi was concerned about Lin Yi, turned a deaf ear to his cursing, quickly rolled up the demon slaying list, pounced over and asked, "How is the adult's injury?"

"Thanks to this demon for healing my wounds. Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled, without explaining much, and then took off the black banner in the corpse's hand and studied it carefully.

"It's okay to be fine. Black Eagle breathed a sigh of relief, flew to the side of the two, looked at Black Banner and said excitedly: "Is this a magic weapon, I will keep it for Childe!"

Lin Yi pondered for a while, and said worriedly: "But it's a harmful thing......"

Gu Wanxi said: "If your lord hates this treasure and doesn't want to use it, you can give it to Tianzun in exchange for a reward." ”

"Oh?" Lin Yi looked sideways, hesitated for a while, suddenly smiled, raised his hand and threw the black flag, drew the knife out of its sheath, and poured spiritual energy.

"Wait, don't spoil the treasure!" Black Hawk snapped.

Lin Yijin fell with a sword, cutting it in two, and countless souls poured out of it, and many familiar faces whispered thanks to him, dissipating in the spring breeze.

"Ah, no......" Black Hawk stumped pitifully.

Gu Wanxi was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "Good!"

"What a waste. Black Eagle snorted, tears rolling in his eyes, and muttered, "Don't give me how good it is." ”

"Miss Qin, don't worry, there will be one in the future. Lin Yina returned the knife to the sheath, bent down and groped on the corpse, took out a money bag, and threw it with his backhand.

"Ah, thank you!" said Black Hawk, stopping his frustration, and took it to the side of the road to count.

"See the money and open your eyes. Lin Yi shook his head angrily, took out two more books, and flipped through them roughly. One book is written about the method of refining the soul, which is full of crooked and evil arts, and the last few pages also have pictures of men and women together, which is embarrassing.

Gu Wanxi glanced at it, her face flushed with shame, and she quickly turned her head to avoid it. Lin Yi finished flipping with an unchanged expression, touching his chin thoughtfully, and Black Eagle interjected: "A total of two hundred and thirty-eight taels...... Hey, Lin Gongzi is okay with this mouthful!"

"Don't bother me, I'm reading. Lin Yi said solemnly, and had a general understanding of the Immortal Sect: through killing people to refine the soul, absorb the aura to practice, but with the curse of the dead soul, haunted by the yin and the underworld, it is easy to die early; And several of these evil arts can allow them to manipulate the Yin and Netherworld Qi to complement each other.

He remembered his previous experience at the Temple of the City God, where a farmer raped a woman and was beaten by the townspeople...... I'm afraid that the evil cultivator did this in the first place, and then it was discovered and led to the villagers to besiege it.

"Poor ordinary people, none of them are his opponents. Lin Yi muttered to himself, speculating that the evil cultivator killed all the townspeople in anger and used them to refine the Thousand Soul Banner. The undead imitate these steps, repeating them every day, falling into samsara and not being able to be reborn.

"But why did Brother Xie say that he hadn't seen outsiders enter the mountain for many years, could it be that the evil cultivator had already been hiding in this town?" Lin Yi stood up with a deep groan, and the specific matter was unknown.

The black eagle listened to him talk to himself for a long time, then raised his wings, combed the feathers on his head, and flew in front of him and teased: "Does Lin Gongzi want to practice those exercises?

Lin Yi glanced at it with squinted eyes, and without saying a word, he directly tore up the cheats and discarded them casually. Black Eagle said aggrievedly: "Wow, you dislike me!"

"Ahem. Gu Wanxi blushed and coughed, changed the topic and said, "Don't make trouble, let's go down the mountain early." ”

"Wait. Lin Yi opened another book, read it in a hurry, and said strangely: "Hey, this is this roster!"

Seeing his solemn face, Black Eagle and Gu Wanxi leaned to his ear, looked at them intently, and read out several of the names, both of them in surprise.

"Hu Haocang-" Lin Yi was shocked and muttered: "I have heard of this person, he is the county guard of Bicheng, how did he appear in this book?"

He trembled and flipped through the pages, sweat and rain, "Could it be that they all collude with the Immortal Sect?"

"Your Excellency. Gu Wanxi held his palm and comforted him softly: "You sit down and rest." ”

Lin Yi's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice: "If this person really colludes with the Immortal Sect and allows the Beiyou army to do evil in the city, then he will also have a share in my mother's death!"

"Miss Gu. Black Eagle shook his head at Gu Wanxi, who lowered his head and stepped aside.

After a while, Lin Yi relieved his anger and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the kid lost his temper." ”

"It doesn't matter. They both spoke in unison.

Lin Yi looked around, and then said, "Miss Lao, Miss Gu, accompany me to find a few hoes, let's bury these bones." ”

Gu Wanxi solemnly agreed, and the two of them began to get busy. As the sun rose and the moon set, it took a week of hard work to dig a large pit between the mountain cols, and nearly 1,000 corpses were buried in it to mourn and leave.

Turning to the end of spring, the two returned to Tianshu Peak. Gu Wanxi put down her luggage and cleaned the room, while Lin Yi walked towards the back mountain with the roster and the demon slaying list.

After walking for about half a mile, he suddenly felt the fluctuation of the surrounding breath, and hurriedly opened the eyes of the sky to see, there were countless walls of light standing in the wilderness, towering into the clouds, like a labyrinth covering the mountains.

"Isn't it!" Lin Yi's face turned pale, and he said bitterly: "I just came back, and I was trapped by the formation again?"

Just when he was stunned, Wang Lao's voice came from a distance: "You kid should be in a good time - open the formation!"

The wall of light moved to both sides, revealing a passage with a width of a zhang in the center, Lin Yi hurriedly walked over, and saw a stone table under the laurel tree in front of him, and Wang Lao was sitting opposite a woman in a fancy costume, playing chess cross-legged.

"The fairy who gave me the osmanthus cake that night?" Lin Yi said in his heart, vaguely understanding something, so he stood beside them and watched the battle quietly.

Wang Lao stretched out his hand to pick up a white chess piece, and said with a solemn face, "Where should I put it...... Can the little baby play chess?"

"The boy doesn't understand this. Lin Yi confessed honestly.

The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes turned her head and smiled at him, and slowly spoke: "The old man is the god of Tianshu Peak Mountain, today he and Venerable Wang deduced the mountain protection array, and the prince will rest first, and then talk about other things later." ”

"I've seen the mountain gods. Lin Yi made a salute and waited by the side, but he felt inexplicable in his heart: "Playing chess, formation...... Are these two things the same thing?"

Wang Lao seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said slowly: "Go and formations are rules, and the cultivation of Taoism needs to be small to see big, and the outside should be the rules of heaven. ”

"I see. Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and opened the eye of the sky, and when he heard the chess pieces fall on the board, a wall of light descended, forming a maze.

Lin Yi looked around, the surrounding scenery became clearer and clearer, I don't know how long it had been, the field of vision suddenly brightened, and he saw a river of light running through the ground, spreading into the distance, endlessly.

The three of them seemed to be sitting on the Milky Way, the sea of stars was shining brightly, twinkling like a waterfall. Lin Yi woke up suddenly, his mouth open and he didn't know how to speak, Wang Lao noticed something strange, and asked casually, "What did you see?"

"A river ......of light," Lin Yi muttered.

"That's the dragon vein, your Tianyan skill has grown a little. After Wang Lao finished speaking, he was immersed in the chess game again.

After the two of them deduced the formation, the beautiful woman rubbed her shoulders and looked a little sleepy. With a wave of his hand, the chessboard turned into a wisp of breeze, burrowed into his cuffs and disappeared, then turned around and asked, "Are you done solving it over there in Yizhuang?"

Lin Yi took out the demon slaying list and presented it respectfully, "Please take a look at Tianzun." ”

Wang Lao took a look, raised his eyebrows quite unexpectedly, and said in surprise: "Caught three?"

Lin Yi then told several things in detail, and finally presented the roster. Wang Lao smiled with satisfaction, and was willing to praise: "You kid is very competitive, and you can solve three disasters as soon as you get off the mountain, which is worthy of praise." ”

"Thank you, Tianzun. Lin Yi paused, and then asked, "The characters recorded in the booklet are secretly colluding with the Immortal Sect?"

"It's hard to determine. Wang Lao frowned and opened the book page by page, "The old man has obtained several rosters from the spiritual officer, according to my analysis, most of them are fake, and half are true. ”

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Immortal Sect uses the Blind Eye Method to hide the real name in it?"

Wang Lao said with a smile: "That's right, the characters in the several rosters handed in are different, all over the imperial courts of the four countries, and each book is not repeated. It needs to be interpreted in ciphertext to know that a few of them have become cult lackeys. Otherwise, it alone will cause the integrity officials to be imprisoned, so that the traitors will be alerted in advance and will be able to escape. ”

Seeing Lin Yi's expression of loss, Wang Lao said with concern: "Do you have something on your mind?"

"Hmm. Lin Yi hesitated, sighed and said, "There is one of them who is the county guard of Bicheng, if he really colludes with the Immortal Sect, the kid will definitely have his blood splashed with the court." ”

Wang Lao was silent for a while, and in the joint letter between Ling Xuozi and Su Chongxiu, he learned about his childhood experience, and after Er, he suddenly asked: "Do you feel lucky that Lingci died to protect you that day?"

"What!" Lin Yi's face instantly lost blood, and he trembled with anger, and his eyes almost erupted with anger.
