The old man put his hands in front of his knees, but he did not stand up, and let the attendant beside him begin to treat the wound on his shoulder.

The wound on his shoulder was deep, and some metal chips and broken bones could be faintly visible.

"I'm sorry. ”

However, he only frowned slightly, looking at Lin Yi coming, he smiled apologetically and said.

It was not a thank you but an apology, but the key was that Lin Yi looked into his eyes and instantly understood the meaning of his words.

It's just that he doesn't know how to respond.

Because for his personal emotions, he really didn't want the old man to interfere in the battle between him and Zhang Nianping, after all, in his opinion, as long as he could entangle Zhang Nianping, then this old man would naturally be able to free up his hands to deal with the two Northern Wei swordsmen.

But in retrospect, he felt that what the old man had done was right.

This made him feel a little complicated.

"Although I didn't hear the conversation between you and that Northern Wei cultivator, I can see that you want a fair duel, and I suddenly attacked him, although it was out of consideration for the entire battle situation, but for you, I naturally need to apologize. The old man looked at Lin Yi, who was slightly frowning, and smiled gently, and said, "It's just that I saw that you stopped at him in the end, and he also understood your intentions, so I felt that I could also feel at ease." ”

Lin Yi nodded, when he watched the attendant next to the old man clean his wounds, the old man's voice did not have any trill, and he was very impressed in his heart. He looked at the old man and said, "I see what you mean. ”

The old man looked at his humble and peaceful eyebrows, and thought of his completely different arrogance when he fought on the battlefield, and he liked it more and more.

"In the end, the result was good, fewer people died, and we won the battle. The old man looked at Lin Yi, smiled and continued, "But no matter what, I still owe you a name, and I still owe you the lives of these people around you." ”

Lin Yi was slightly stunned and said, "The senior's words are too heavy. ”

That's not a big deal. The old man said softly with some emotion, "The Northern Wei people are only a few dozen steps away from me, and in half a cup of tea, if no reinforcements arrive, I and these people around me will probably die." Even if I fight for my life before I die, it may have some effect on this battle, but no matter what the final battle here is, I and the people around me should die here. ”

The attendants beside him were all solemn.

Because they all knew in their hearts that when Zhang Nianping was bent on killing regardless of anything else, if Lin Yi did not appear, their end would have been decided, so what the old man said was indeed the truth.

"I'm Ye Jing, teaching in Sanqing County, I don't know which young man you are. The old man looked at Lin Yi and felt more and more interesting.

"Sanqing County teaches, Ye Jing, are you an old man in Sanqing?" Lin Yi was taken aback, he forgot for a moment that he didn't answer the other party's question first.

The old man didn't explain, just nodded gently.

“......”

Lin Yi was speechless for a while.

The old man of Sanqing was extremely famous in the entire Southern Dynasty.

It is not his cultivation that is famous, but his virtues, his teachings.

In the past few decades, he has taught many outstanding students, who are also not known for their cultivation, but for their honesty and integrity as officials in the court.

Even some of his students did not serve as officials in the court, but lectured everywhere, and even some poor students did not charge tuition.

Since the beginning of the old dynasty, the Sanqing faction has become a school, and it is all clear in the old dynasty, and even several of his students have been killed because of their upright advice.

So in a sense, he and some of his students are opinion leaders in the government and the opposition.

"How can someone like you be here?" Lin Yi looked at the old man in a daze and said his inner feelings.

"Where should someone like me be?" the old man couldn't help but laugh.

Maybe you should travel and lecture outside, maybe you should be in a big city, drinking tea and talking about things with some big people?

Lin Yi thought about those possibilities truthfully in his heart, and he felt that he shouldn't be here.

"I always tell all my students to do it. The old man looked at Lin Yi and said gently, "Some things that others are unwilling to do, but what you think you should do, you should do it yourself first." Also, the so-called reputation is just the aura given to you by the outside world, sometimes if you are serious, then you are not interesting, no matter how famous a person is, he also needs three meals a day, he also needs to change clothes, he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also wants to get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death. If for some of these reasons, if some of the elixirs in this Meishan can also make me live longer, or even solve some problems in my cultivation, or help some of my disciples and students, then it is not surprising that I am here. ”

These words are very true, very real.

Listening to these words, Lin Yi suddenly felt that this old man had become flesh and blood.

"There have never been real gods and Buddhas in this world, and any great men and saints are all the same flesh and blood on this battlefield, don't think too highly of others. Ye Jing looked at him and said, "You haven't told me your name yet." ”

"Lin Yi, born in the sixth year of the Heavenly Prison of the Southern Heavenly Academy, has just joined the Tie Ce Army, and his father Lin Wangbei. Lin Yi realized his negligence, bowed to him, and said.

Ye Jing was slightly stunned, and then sincerely admired, "Sure enough, it's Jiangmen Huzi." ”

Lin Yi hesitated slightly, he didn't have much of a mood to talk about it now, he didn't care about the elixir produced in this area, and he wasn't even worried about the ownership of the medicine king, what he was worried about was Chen Baoyun or Xiao Shufei.

"There's something to say, but it's okay to say it. The old man smiled kindly, "If there's anything you want me to help with, say whatever I want, as long as I can help." ”

"The thing I want people to help with the most is naturally about my parents. Lin Yi looked at him and said, "It's just that I know that even you are probably powerless in this matter, and I'm just worried about my two friends going wrong now." ”

The old man listened patiently, he listened to Lin Yi talk about the battle between the two demi-saints from the beginning, about Li Qingming's death, and about discovering the conspiracy of these people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the look of surprise and appreciation in the depths of his eyes became more and more intense.

However, in fact, the most surprising thing was Yuan Yan, who was following behind Lin Yi and hanging his head at this time.

She naturally knew that Lin Yi's status in the army was very low, but she didn't expect that a cultivator with a low status like Lin Yi would have some kind of connection with her in the dark.

She didn't expect that one of her subordinates would die in Lin Yi's hands.

She also didn't expect that a young cultivator like Lin Yi, who was not even a too qualified general, would be able to discover her plan so quickly.

For some reason, she admired Lin Yi more and more, and felt more and more that Lin Yi was dangerous.

"So you want to tell the Chen family or the Xiao family about the military situation as soon as possible through me?" After the old man listened, he looked at Lin Yi seriously and asked, "This is actually not your own business. ”
