The next day, Yan Liang's shoulders fell into the snow, and he walked into the Li Mansion with an indifferent expression.

"Are you back?" Lin Zheng walked out of the study and personally patted the snow on Yan Liang's shoulder: "Have you found anything?"

"This person is too mysterious, but according to his route, his next stop should be the second largest city in Shuzhou, Maicheng. Yan Liang told him everything he had checked.

"Mai Cheng, what a coincidence. Lin Zheng smiled mysteriously and walked into the study, and Yan Liang followed in.

"This is?" Yan Liang saw that there was an invitation on Lin Zheng's desk, and the address on it was Mai Cheng.

"What family?" Yan Liang looked at Lin Zheng.

"Old man He is a good person. Lin Zheng picked up the invitation: "Eighty-six years old, good thing, it is estimated that the He family will do a big job, it seems that I have to go to this wheat city." ”

"Call Shen Yueting, let's leave today. Lin Zheng wrote a letter on the table and asked him to bring it to Li Yu, asking him to take care of the Heavenly Master's Mansion more these days, and then asked someone to prepare a carriage.

"We ...... Where are you going?" Shen Yueting sat in the carriage, looking a little restless.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zheng was originally fascinated by the snow scenes along the way, but when he heard Shen Yueting's eyes smiling, he glanced towards him.

"I'm ......" Shen Yueting remembered the scene he saw after he called for reinforcements that day, thousands of disciples of the Divine Sword Sect besieged Lin Zheng, Yan Liang, who was as strong as a god in his eyes, was seriously injured, and the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion Master who was standing at the top of the court hall was also defeated and retreated, you must know that he usually kills bandits, this kind of scene is inevitably empty in his heart......

"Be calm and don't mess up. Yan Liang spoke at this time.

Shen Yueting had to look like he was being taught, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Although Maicheng and Shuzhou City belong to the same state, they are far apart, and the three of them traveled for two days in a carriage before they came to the outside of Maicheng.

The three of them entered Maicheng, and did not come directly to He's house, but checked the recent intelligence of Maicheng in the Laifu Restaurant in advance, because of the recent murders, so the Laifu Restaurant was also busy, and finally locked a few suspicious characters, among which Lin Zheng was most concerned about the third miss of the He family......

"This person's itinerary is exactly the same as the route of the mysterious master, and when you get to the He family, you must focus on observing this person, but you must be careful not to be discovered, this person is likely to be a master of the immortal stroke. "Not far from He's house, Lin Zheng told Shen Yueting carefully, Yan Liang was not worried about him.

"The subordinates understand. Shen Yueting clenched his fists.

Lin Zheng nodded at this time, and walked towards the main gate of the He family with the two of them.

Old man He's eighty-sixth master is dying at the end of his life, which can be regarded as a happy funeral, so although the He family is sad, they put on a lantern to welcome foreign guests.

"Lin Gongzi!" Outside the door of He's house, a man with a plain dress, handsome appearance but a little pale face was greeting Lin Zheng from afar.

This person is the second son of the He family, He Shengxiao.

Because the son of the He family died young, the entire He family has always been the head of the second son, and now it is also his future after Master He of Zhang Luo.

"Second Young Master He. Lin Zheng came to the door of He Shengxiao with a smile and hugged his fist at He Shengxiao.

"Haha, Lin Gongzi, you can count it as coming, I thought you wouldn't come. He Shengxiao was overjoyed when he saw Lin Zheng, and hurriedly welcomed Lin Zheng in.

"How could it be, how dare I not come. Lin Zheng and He Shengxiao walked all the way through the courtyard and came to the lobby.

There are two women in the lobby who are quietly sitting next to the coffin and sobbing quietly, and their looks are somewhat similar, presumably they should be two of the three daughters of Old Man He.

"Why is this coffin covered?" Lin Zheng stepped forward, wanting to take one last look at Old Man He, but unexpectedly, the lid was actually fastened on the coffin.

"I'm ashamed...... He Shengxiao looked ashamed: "I accidentally ran into a mouse when I parked last night, and when we found out, my father's body had been bitten and couldn't be shaped, so in order not to scare the guests, I had to close the lid in advance." ”

"I see. Lin Zheng leaned on the coffin with one hand: "The materials for this coffin are really exquisite, Mr. He prepared it for himself?"

"Not really. He Shengxiao shook his head: "My father didn't help me prepare the coffin, I personally selected the materials and supervised the production of this coffin." ”

"Second Young Master He is so attentive, presumably Old Master He will be very happy if he knows about it. Lin Zheng nodded and followed He Shengxiao out of the lobby.

"This is the yard prepared for Lin Gongzi, there will be someone to add firewood to the fire room, and Gongzi doesn't have to worry about heating and cold. He Shengxiao did everything in his hand, and Lin Zheng nodded secretly in his heart.

"Thank you, Second Young Master He. Lin Zheng clenched his fists.

"Where, I still want to thank Lin Gongzi for being able to come. He Shengxiao replied embarrassedly.

After He Shengxiao left, Lin Zheng and the three of them also entered the courtyard, the courtyard room was very close to the bedroom, maybe to keep warm, but there was always a smell of smoke and dust.

"This He Shengxiao is polite on the surface, but behind the scenes, he doesn't treat us as guests. Shen Yueting looked around at the courtyard and said dissatisfied.

"You've lived in the Heavenly Master Pavilion for a long time to feel like this. Lin Zheng shook his head, although the Heavenly Master Pavilion did not build too many graceful buildings due to the preferences of the old Heavenly Master, but it was still much stronger than a merchant like the He family, the room here was warm and the courtyard was tidy, and it was obviously already a house, and the smell of smoke and dust was just a helpless fly in the ointment.

"Is there one?" Shen Yueting scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Go and practice. Yan Liang was helpless and asked Shen Yueting to go to the courtyard to practice stepping on the snow without a trace.

"Master, if this snow treading without a trace is practiced, won't my shadow chasing step be practiced to the seventh layer?" Shen Yueting suddenly became curious in his heart and asked Yan Liangdao.

"Yes, after practicing the snow without a trace, your shadow chasing step will reach the seventh layer. Yan Liang nodded.

"Then master, how many layers are you, and how long will it take me to reach your level?" Shen Yueting asked.

Yan Liang looked at Lin Zheng, and saw Lin Zheng nodding slightly, before he cleared his throat: "Shadow Chasing Step is divided into eleven layers, you are now in the sixth layer, and I am in the ninth layer, with your talent, if you want to reach the ninth layer, it will take at least ten years of hard work." ”

"The ninth layer, more than ten years ......" Shen Yueting's eyes showed disappointment, but then he asked: "What about the tenth layer and the eleventh layer?

"Once the tenth and eleventh layers are trained, as long as you want to leave, thousands of troops cannot be stopped. After Yan Liang finished speaking, he shook his head again: "It's a pity that the tenth and eleventh layers can only be stepped into with fate. ”

"Then has anyone ever reached these two realms?" asked Shen Yueting.

"Nope. Yan Liang shook his head: "But you have the opportunity to step in, and if you practice the snow without a trace earlier, I will teach you the next realm." ”

"Gotcha!" When Shen Yueting heard this, he was immediately full of enthusiasm, and ran directly out of the door to the courtyard, swept out a snowdrift, and began to practice stepping on the snow without a trace.

Here, Shen Yueting had just stepped on the snowdrift, and someone pushed the door on his hind feet, and he was immediately surprised when he saw Shen Yueting.

"This, this brother, your light skills are so superb, you must be a talented person from a certain big sect, right?!" This person immediately clenched his fists in surprise: "Qin Lu, the son-in-law of the He family, might as well make a friend." The person who came was a man, with a good appearance and thick eyebrows and big eyes, judging from his identity as a self-reported home, this person turned out to be the person who the three of them wanted to focus on on this trip.

"Qin Lu?" Shen Yueting stood on the snowdrift and thought carefully, then turned over and jumped to the ground in surprise: "Are you Qin Lu?"

"It's just that my friend has heard of me?" Qin Lu clenched his fists again in joy.

"I've heard of it, my family has said that the son-in-law of the third lady of the He family is called Qin Lu. Shen Yueting immediately reacted that he couldn't be exposed, so he deceived.

"Your lord, but Lin Gongzi?" Qin Lu was obviously stunned.

"Yes, it's Lin Gongzi. Shen Yueting nodded.

"I didn't expect Lin Gongzi to have such ability...... Qin Lu whispered, and only then did he remember that Shen Yueting was still there, so he laughed: "I just came to visit Lin Gongzi, and I asked a friend to lead the way." ”

"No problem. Shen Yueting said arrogantly, but in his heart he was thinking about whether he had made a contribution?

"My lord, the third lady of the He family, husband-in-law, Qin Lu wants to see you. Shen Yueting shouted outside the door.

When Qin Lu saw it, he suddenly felt in his heart that Lin Zheng was extraordinary, otherwise who could have set up such a stand in the He family? He didn't know that Shen Yueting was reminding Lin Zheng.

"Qin Lu?" Lin Zheng immediately understood what Shen Yueting meant, so he got up and opened the door and welcomed Qin Lu in.

"Young Master Lin. Qin Lu hugged his fists: "Under Qin Lu." ”

"Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng replied.

"Lin Gongzi, I see that you seem to have a lot of talented people with you?" Qin Lu asked.

Lin Zheng glanced at Shen Yueting, knowing that Shen Yueting was bumped into by Qin Lu when he was practicing just now, so he nodded: "I will inevitably encounter danger when walking, so I hired some doormen to defend myself." ”

"Then do you know the art of practicing stiffness?" Qin Lu suddenly lowered his voice with a mysterious expression.

"Practice stiffness?" Lin Zheng frowned, not knowing why Qin Lu mentioned it.

"Lin Gongzi, don't get me wrong, I have liked stories like heroes from all walks of life and the world since I was a child, and I happened to hear about Lian Stiff not long ago, and I originally only listened to it as a story, but ......" Qin Lu suddenly stopped talking.

"But what? Qin Gongzi might as well say it directly. Lin Zheng was suddenly puzzled.

"But yesterday, Old Man He's body suddenly changed, and it was almost exactly the same as what was recorded on the stiff practice...... Qin Lu looked nervous: "Originally, I wasn't going to say it, but seeing this strong martial artist, I was afraid that someone was really practicing stiffness......"

"Wasn't Old Man He's body bitten by a mouse?" Lin Zheng asked.

"This is just to say to the outside world, now that Old Man He is covered with white hair, and his nails are purple and long, how can he let others see it? This will not ruin his reputation for a lifetime?" Qin Lu also looked in danger, and now he can be regarded as recruiting black for Old Man He.

"Old man He, I know, he is a good person, it should be impossible to stiffen. Lin Zheng shook his head.

"That's why I said that someone is practicing stiffness, and the book says that the more kind you are in life, the more fierce you will be after death, but I don't dare to guess if it is. Qin Lu said.

"I know, you go back first, I'll have someone check it out at night. Lin Zheng nodded, sent Qin Lu away, and looked at Yan Liang.
