Chapter 68: The Trial
Day 2.
"It's here, Haoran Mountain. If so, this should be it. Ling Hu Lin bowed slightly, and said to Han Chunlin on the side, while slowly stroking the water droplets on his forehead. Fortunately, the rain was not very heavy, and it was covered by dense shade, so Ling Hu Lin and Han Chunlin were almost not drenched in much rain. However, it is not true that it is rainy in Langya Prefecture, since Ling Hu Lin and Han Chunlin arrived in Langya Prefecture, the rain has not stopped. In this way, there is a bit of sorrow and desolation.
"This is Haoran Mountain?" Han Chunlin was a little surprised, the mountain range in front of him seemed to be very different from the Haoran Mountain he imagined. Han Chunlin originally thought that this Haoran Mountain would rise into the sky, overlooking Kyushu, the first of ten thousand mountains, and only in this way could he be worthy of the title of Ye Wushuang's first place on the list, but what he didn't expect was that the mountain range in front of him, although it was not short, was only a little higher than other mountain ranges. Therefore, Han Chunlin had to wonder if Ling Hu Lin was wrong?
"Let's go up and have a look. Ling Hu took a deep breath and slowly walked up the mountain. In fact, Ling Hu Lin himself is not quite sure whether this is Haoran Mountain, because this mountain has almost no other characteristics except for being higher than others, and it is funny to say, Ling Hu Lin came here completely by virtue of some kind of intuition, without the slightest judgment and reasoning, just the so-called following his own heart, Ling Hu Lin may have done it to the extreme, right?
I don't know if I don't know this, I was startled when I saw it, and the more I went up the mountain, the more certain I became that this was the Haoran Mountain where Ye seniors lived in seclusion. Along the way, Ling Hu saw a lot of vegetable gardens or artificially cultivated flowers. Therefore, there must be people living in seclusion nearby, after all, who would travel 108,000 miles to this deserted place to grow vegetables? Of course, there is a more important discovery in Ling Hu Lone, that is, the traces of sword practice, in a lush bamboo forest, Ling Hu Lin seems to be able to feel some remnants of sword practice.
Although it was only a little remnant of the sword qi, Ling Hu Lin could still experience a good monstrous momentum from it, and the kind of majestic righteousness that looked at the world made Ling Hu Lin feel respectful.
But then again, although the mountain is not as majestic as expected, it is still a bit steep. Later, Ling Hu Lin decided to fly with Han Chunlin's sword, which was already very safe compared to being on the cliff. But for some reason, on this mountain, it was as if the sword technique had failed, and before it could control its flight, it fell under the suppression of a mysterious force. In desperation, Ling Hu Lin and Han Chunlin had no choice but to move forward to the mountain step by step.
Because it was going up the mountain, this section of the road was not very far, so Ling Hu and the two walked for half an hour, and at this time, an old man's voice suddenly sounded: "Who are you waiting for? Why did you come here!"
The sound is not very loud, but it seems to be heard by the entire Langya Prefecture, and it reverberates in the surrounding world.
Ling Hu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then replied with his head held high: "Senior, I have a friend who needs your help, and I hope to be able to ......."
"Your friend...... What do you have to do with me? Besides, this Kyushu is so big, how did you find me here as an old man?" Listening to the old man's tone, he seemed to be a little angry, and reprimanded. It seems that the coming of Ling Hu and the two disturbed the old man's leisure, but in fact it was true.
Ling Hu pondered for a moment and replied, "Senior Jiang asked me to come to the senior." "In the current situation, I am afraid that only by moving out of Jiang Lao's name can we have the possibility of seeing this powerful side, no matter what, the face of the old friend in the past still has to be given.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the old man fell silent. Ling Hu Lone's heart was overjoyed, knowing that this matter was not far from success, it seemed that Jiang Lao's name was still very useful.
After about ten breaths, the old man's deep and strong voice sounded again: "Do you know me?"
Ling Hu Lin smiled: "The predecessor is the first Ye Wushuangye predecessor on the hero list, and he is famous in Kyushu, who doesn't know?"
As soon as the words fell, two old men appeared without warning in front of Ling Hu and the two, although they were full of sideburns and white hair, but they were crane-haired and childish, and the sword was not old. However, since one of them is Ye Wushuang, then who is the other one? Although Ling Hu Lin has heard of Ye Wushuang's name, if he talks about it, he has indeed never met, and he naturally can't recognize which one is Ye Senior at this time, and it will inevitably be a little embarrassing for a while.
Han Chunlin, just stand behind Ling Hulone, and she doesn't need to say anything, it's not good to say something wrong.
I saw that the two men were both dressed in blue and white robes, with a three-foot sword hanging from their waists, and they seemed to be looking at Ling Hulone and the two.
"Oh, interesting, this sword...... Wasn't it used by the descendants of the Linghu family back then? If the old man remembers correctly, it seems to be called ...... How did it get into the hands of you, a yellow-mouthed boy, now?" said an old man with a smile.
"The boy's name is Linghu Lonely, and this sword was passed down to me by my father Linghu Bai. Ling Hu replied respectfully, and at the same time looked at the two old men in front of him slightly.
"Tell me, come this time, find me, old man, what's the matter. At this time, another old man spoke, so it seems that this should be Ye Wushuangye's senior.
Ling Hu replied: "That's right, one of the kid's friends has the Taiyin seal in his body, Senior Jiang said, Senior Ye, you have the ability to unlock it, so I came here to ask Senior Ye for help." After speaking, Ling Hu asked Han Chunlin to come out from behind him and stand side by side. For some reason, standing in front of these two old men, Han Chunlin felt as if he had been looked at.
It can be clearly found that after listening to Ling Hul's words, the corners of the two old men's mouths were a little moved, but in the end, they also held back, kept a serious face, and began to observe Han Chunlin.
"Hmm...... It is indeed a Taiyin seal, but this seal is still stable, at least within three years, there will be no problems. Another old man stroked his beard and said.
"I don't know the name of the senior!" asked the old man who didn't know his name after a moment of silence.
"Oh, didn't Old Man Jiang tell you?" the old man couldn't help but laugh, "Since you know that this is the number one on the list, then you must also know who the second on the list is, right?"
Ling Hu was slightly stunned, and shouted in horror: "Could it be that you are Senior Jin!" The kid only heard that Senior Jin and Senior Ye both went into seclusion, but he didn't know that the two seniors actually lived in seclusion on this Haoran Mountain together. With that, Ling Hu Lin once again bowed his hand to the two old men.
Although Jin Shang is said to be the second on the list, if you talk about strength, it is not weaker than Ye Wushuang, who is ranked first, the two were rivals in their early years, and they often find each other to compete, Ye Wushuang can only be said to be slightly better, if it is really a life and death fight, who wins and who loses remains to be discussed.
"Your father was born with a bit of heroism, but why did he give birth to such a disability as you?" Ye Wushuang was open-mouthed, and pointed out to Ling Hu Lone, which made Ling Hu Lone have to smile bitterly for a while to face the embarrassment, as for the reason for this disability, Ling Hu Lone didn't want to explain anything too much, he would only appear to be very incompetent. And now, it is useless to talk too much, and no matter how much you say, you can't restore it, all you can do is to become stronger and save the dignity that was lost back then.
"If you want to unlock this Taiyin seal, it's not difficult, but you have to meet my requirements first, if you meet my requirements, then I will not only help this girl unlock the Taiyin seal, but maybe I will also accept you as an apprentice?" Ye Wushuang seemed to be thinking about something, looking at Ling Hu Lin with a profiteer-like look, so that Ling Hu Lin had to wonder if he had entered the trap of this senior, but after all, his identity was here, he shouldn't do something strange, right?
"I have a good idea, what do you think of this?" Jin Shang said with his mouth close to Ye Wushuang's ear, his face was full of obscene dissolution, somewhat out of touch with the second place on the list.
After a while, I saw Ye Wushuang suddenly smile and said: "Eh, you still understand me, I think the same way, okay, it's so good over there." As he spoke, he patted Jin Shang on the shoulder, and Jin Shang laughed with Ye Wushuang, as for what would make these two seniors so happy after all, I'm afraid only they know.
Just as Ling Hu Lin was about to step forward to ask, Ye Wushuang and Jin Shang turned around and left, leaving Ling Hu Lin and Han Chunlin behind.
"As I said, you must first meet the standard I want, and this standard is, fight me! At this time tomorrow, I will wait for you here, if you do not come, then I will regard you as abstaining, and naturally I will not be able to help this little girl heal. Ye Wushuang's melodious voice slowly came out of the forest, and then there was no movement.
Ling Hu Lone's face turned black in an instant, what is this? Fighting with the number one knight in the world, isn't this looking for death? I think I would do this if I have lived too long, but Ling Hu Lin has no such thoughts.
For a while, Ling Hu Lin had cursed this "sanctimonious" power in his heart.
At this time, Han Chunlin opened his mouth and said: "Ling Hu Lonely, Senior Ye only said that you want to fight him, but he didn't say that you must win, right?"
Ling Hu Lonely suddenly realized, it was reasonable!
"Okay! Since that's the case, then I want to let Senior Ye see the strength of the junior, and I must let him recognize it!"
