Chapter Twenty-Six: Reunion
Cangma patted Lin's shoulder and couldn't help laughing: "Not bad, not bad!"
"Big brother. Lin straightened his chest and looked at Cangma with sparkling eyes.
"It's good, it can hold up the sky!"
"It's more than enough to deal with goods like Ji Changyan, but it's still a lot short of your expectations, and there are many masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
Cangma said: "What level of cultivation have you reached now?" ”
"Big brother, let's talk in a secluded place. ”
"Good. ”
Cangma followed Lin to a safe place, and Lin was much more familiar with the terrain of the Heavenly Sword Sect than him.
Lin took off his veil, and he was a heroic and cold young man.
I haven't seen him for six years, but Lin has indeed grown up a lot. The four people of Fenglin Volcano were all extremely talented children who were selected by Cangma back then, and these four people were almost exactly the same height and size, and they couldn't see any difference from their backs, the purpose was to make it difficult for outsiders to distinguish. If one day they are tracked down, these four people can still cover for each other.
Among the four, Feng was the eldest, Lin and Shan were the same age, and Huo was the youngest.
The reason why it is called Fenglin Volcano is because the four of Cangma had different personalities, and the swordsmanship they taught was very different from each other.
It is as fast as the wind, so the wind is the ethereal sword, its Xu is like the forest, so the forest is the illusory sword, the invasion is like fire, so the fire is the sword, the demon sword, the immovable is like a mountain, so the mountain is the sword, the sword of the sea.
The time when the four of them were found by Cangma was also different, so each of them was taught separately when learning the sword, so the four of them didn't know the personality of the other three. Because when Cangma chose them, he found them according to the four sets of swordsmanship of wind, forest, fire, and mountain, so they knew that there were three other brothers besides themselves.
To put it simply, the true identities of the four of them are only known to Cangma. Only Cangma can distinguish the identities of the four people without relying on their appearance.
"What realm are you cultivating now?" Cangma asked again.
"The pinnacle of the transformation period. ”
"Okay!" Cangma continued, "What level can you count in the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
"You can't be considered a top player. Lin Dao: "The head of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the seven elders of the Deacon Pavilion are all cultivated in the Mahayana period, and the Mahayana period is the strongest existence in the world, far from being comparable to the god transformation period. ”
"You are younger than them, not to mention that you are now at the peak of the Transformation Stage, isn't it a matter of time before you break through the Mahayana Stage?"
"Not really. Lin explained: "There is an unwritten rule at the top of the Heavenly Sword Sect that except for the five surnamed families, the rest of the disciples cannot obtain the cultivation exercises of the Mahayana period even if they are highly talented. ”
"Five surnames?"
"These five surnames are Xiao, Lin, Zeng, Chang, and Ding, these people are also the elders of the Deacon Pavilion, and the reason why they set this rule is because they are afraid that someone will shake their dominance in the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
"I see. Cangma pondered: "No wonder they accept disciples so strictly, they only accept them once every three years, and they only accept so many people each time, because they are afraid that their disciples will shake their status." ”
"Yes, in the Heavenly Sword Sect, if you progress too quickly, you will be treated differently, and even if you are talented, you will be suppressed. ”
"Are you in any trouble?"
"I'm still going well, there is a mysterious organization hidden within the Heavenly Sword Sect - the Shadow Department, this organization was established by the elders of the Deacon Pavilion, and it is only dispatched by the elders, and even the head and sect master have no right to intervene. The Shadow Department is composed of sixteen disciples of the Young Zhuang Sect, and its main task is to secretly monitor all factors that may cause harm to the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
"You're a member of the Shadow Club. ”
"Hmm. Lin nodded and continued: "The sixteen members of the Shadow Department are all masters of the Transformation Period, but on weekdays, everyone will deliberately hide their strength, and only show the strength of the early stage of the Yuan Infant. My mission this time is to secretly spy on Ji Changyan, this person has always coveted the exercises of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and what I want to do is to cut off all the ways for him to obtain the exercises of this sect, and if necessary, to take assassination methods. ”
"So, there is a disagreement between the elders of the Deacon's Pavilion and the head of the family?"
"There are no differences, although the elders hide a lot of things from the head of the sect, their starting point is also to protect the interests of the sect, and all of them are on the same point. ”
"I see. Through Lin's introduction, Cangma also had a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Sword Sect, "So when I fought with Ji Changyan just now, you had been secretly observing nearby. ”
"Yes, I originally wanted to make a move earlier, but seeing that my eldest brother's swordsmanship was so exquisite, I couldn't help but learn it secretly, eldest brother, you won't blame me. ”
"It's good to learn. Cangma laughed to himself, "I'm a wreck now, and it would be great if you could still learn from me." ”
After listening to Cangma's words, Lin's expression also became heavy, he had been secretly investigating the method of repairing the golden pill all these years, but he had never gained anything. He clenched his fists heavily: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely be able to help you repair Jindan!"
"Good brother. Cangma patted Lin on the shoulder and said, "However, you don't have to pay too much attention to my affairs, I will have a way." Now that you are in a high position, you have to be careful in everything, and you must protect yourself first before it is true. ”
"I will, big brother. ”
After that, the two chatted about some trivial matters, and it was not until the fourth watch that the two said goodbye.
After dawn, Cangma still went down the mountain to buy food and vegetables as usual, and nothing special happened.
Xiao Qingxuan will not come today, because Xiao Xueya has already been weaned, so Xiao Tianju will not come to him so early.
He sat alone in the courtyard basking in the sun, very leisurely.
But she didn't expect that Ji Wanying suddenly came to the courtyard, and she came to look for him.
Ji Wanying, this woman who has been thinking about her for a long time, they finally met again after ten years.
The years have not left much of a mark on her face, and she is still as beautiful as she was ten years ago. But it doesn't matter if she's beautiful or not, what matters is who she is, she is Ji Wanying, the only love of Cangma's life.
She is doing well, she has not aged at all, she must have lived better than herself in the past ten years, thinking of this, Cangma's heart was a little comforted.
He looked at Ji Wanying's eyes and couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he first met her.
On that day, she disguised herself as a man and sneaked out of the sect to go down the mountain to play, and felt a little tired and sat in the tea shed on the side of the road to rest.
On that day, he and his brothers had just been attacked by a sneak attack, and although he was lucky enough to break out of the enemy's encirclement, he was separated from his brothers in the chaos. I happened to pass by this tea shed.
He asked the shopkeeper for a bowl of tea, not for himself but to feed the horses. His hands shook as he fed the horses, because his arm was injured and blood was dripping down his arm.
Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but be amazed, and the shopkeeper also stepped forward and asked: "Guest officer, why don't you bandage your wounds first, but feed the horse yourself? Besides, as long as you put the bowl on the ground, it can drink water by itself." ”
"You see that I am wounded, and if it had not carried me so far, I would have died long ago, so it should have drunk this bowl of tea first. "Cangma was very young at that time, and although he was injured, it made him look more heroic.
The shopkeeper asked again, "Have you encountered bandits?"
"I'm a bandit. His smile was so clean that it was hard to believe that the words just came out of his mouth, "But don't worry, I will pay for the tea." With his other hand, he took out the silver taels and put them in the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the money in horror and retreated a long way.
Cangma looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and then at the shopkeeper, still smiling: "Wait and see, one day you will see that not all bandits in this world are bad people." "His smile is so confident, so charismatic.
But his hands trembled more and more, because his horses did not drink water.
It snorted with difficulty, its eyes blinking at its master. It knew it was dying, and it could no longer charge with its master. So it put its head on its master's shoulder and rubbed it gently.
With a "boom", its body fell straight in front of its master, and its eyes were still looking at its master before it died.
Cangma froze, he knelt on the ground, kneeling for a long time, the blood stained the tea in the bowl red, and overflowed from the bowl.
The shopkeeper had already closed the stall and went home, but he was still holding the bowl of tea.
"Horse, horse, you're telling me to live well, right? With that, he picked up the tea and drank it all.
But when he stood up, he found that he didn't even have the strength to take a step, and then his body shook and fell on the loess slope.
When he woke up, it was dusk, his arm was bandaged, and the rest of the wounds had been properly treated.
"Don't move, your wound isn't healed yet!"
However, Cangma still stood up from the ground, "After a good night's sleep, no matter how serious the injury is, it is almost healed." ”
Ji Wanying said angrily: "You...... It took me a long time to get you here. At this time, she was still dressed as a man.
"Thank you. Cangma turned around and said, "You shouldn't save me, I'm not a good person, I'm just a bandit." He stubbornly walked forward and walked over to the horse's carcass. After breaking the tea bowl, he picked up the larger tile and dug it in the ground.
Ji Wanying had never seen such a stubborn person, and she swore that if this person fell again, she would definitely not save him.
But instead of falling, Cangma really dug a big hole, and I have to say that he is really stubborn.
But after digging the pit, he couldn't drag the horse's carcass, but he didn't ask for help. Ji Wanying really couldn't stand it, so she helped him drag the body into the pit together, and then the two buried the soil together.
After filling in the soil, Cangma spoke: "I'm a bandit, aren't you afraid of me?"
"If a man can be so good to a horse, then he won't be too bad to people. ”
"Thank you. He took one last look at the grave at his feet, "I should go." ”
He was decisive when he left, and it seemed that he was decisive in everything he did.
"What's your name?"
"Cangma. He didn't look back, but he stopped, "Don't tell people you know me, because that will cause you a lot of trouble." ”
After he finished speaking, he continued on his way.
But Ji Wanying remembered the name.
