Chapter 363: Before the War
Lin Yi got up to say goodbye and slowly walked out of this extremely quiet street.
It wasn't until he walked out of the alley that he realized that his conversation with the senior sister had only taken very little time, and the two had not talked about anything other than what they were really going to do in this duel.
But it's a good feeling.
This very good feeling comes from the fact that he really sees Ni Yunshan as a senior sister, and Ni Yunshan does really see him as a junior brother.
Ni Yunshan and what he said made him completely understand that Ni Yunshan was different from any young talent he had ever seen, and in addition to being extraordinarily domineering, it even made him feel like he was being sheltered as a junior disciple.
Fellow villagers, classmates, teachers... These are only very broad concepts in the world, according to etiquette, there is such a layer of relationship, then we should indeed take care of each other, but some people often worship under the same teacher, get along day and night for many years, but they are all fighting to the death because of some personal self-interest.
The key is to have a heart and look at each other well.
Thinking about it, Ni Yunshan and him met this side first, and the core point to tell him was: "I admit you as a junior brother, senior sister doesn't fight with junior brother, senior sister and junior brother fight those who dare to talk together." β
"There seems to be something wrong with this world right now. β
Lin Yi muttered to himself, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Like Nantian Academy, it was originally the best cultivation place in the Southern Dynasty, and those who were able to enter the Nantian Academy not only had a good cultivation talent, but also had some important power in the family, and most of these students in the Nantian Academy in the future should be the pillars of the Southern Dynasty.
The senior brothers, senior sisters and sisters of Nantian Courtyard should have protected each other and supported each other.
But now, even Lin Yi himself feels that he and Ni Yunshan are a little abnormal.
In fact, Lin Yi himself valued the number of rituals that this cultivator senior sister had since ancient times, such as Yuan Hunt and Ye Qingwei whom he first met in Nantian Courtyard, and Ning Ning, Luo Jilian and other senior sisters he met on the way to Meishan later, he naturally really regarded them as senior brothers and sisters.
It's a pity that most people now only talk about interests, not etiquette and morality.
"That's it?"
He was still sighing, but Qi Zhuji and Bai Yuelu had already walked over from the front.
"It seems that you are not a woman this time, and Senior Sister Ni sent you away in a few words. Qi Zhuji looked at the alley behind Lin Yi and said while wiping the oil stains on his hands with a brocade hand.
Lin Yi smiled, he knew that Qi Zhuji must be very interested in the content of the conversation at this time, but he deliberately didn't say a word.
Qi Zhuji looked at his face and understood what he was thinking, and immediately scolded softly, "Lin Fox, what did you say?"
"I said some wonderful things, but I decided not to tell you in advance, otherwise you wouldn't think it would be exciting enough tomorrow afternoon. Lin Yi said.
Qi Zhuji frowned, "Lin Fox, don't deliberately sell Guanzi. β
Bai Yuelu said: "The duel is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon?"
Lin Yi looked at her and nodded: "Tomorrow at noon, the open space at the gate of the south of the city." β
"The key is how do you fight? After saying who loses and who wins, she defeated you, and then it is logical, just like Hanshan Temple subdued you and the Sword Pavilion, or did you defeat her, showing that you are the strongest cultivator in the younger generation now, you should have some right to speak, and then assure the outside world that the Sword Pavilion is definitely not the same identity as before, and will devote itself to the great cause of fighting against the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Qi Zhuji couldn't help but interject.
Lin Yi also glanced at him and said, "It's a real fight, but it's hard to say what the outcome will be and what will happen in the end." β
Qi Zhuji didn't know that Lin Yi had a sharp edge hidden in this sentence at this time, and when he heard the word "real type", his brows furrowed deeply.
"Now that the inns in Luoshui City are all full, there are still many people living in their own carriages and tents, and there should be many people staying outside the city, or in the boats in the ports along the Luoshui River, as soon as the news of you spreads, I am afraid that the number of cultivators in this city will double tomorrow. As far as I know, not only the young talents from the nearby prefectures and counties, but even some cultivators from the surrounding local armies rushed over. Of course, most of the people were not very interested in the Sword Pavilion, they just wanted to see Ni Yunshan's shot, to see how much difference there was between themselves and a genius like Ni Yunshan. Qi Zhuji took a deep breath as she spoke, slightly annoyed, "Ever since Ni Yunshan killed Zong Fengyang in a public battle, she is now an idol in the minds of many young cultivators. This battle of yours, no matter what the outside world thinks of you, I am afraid that it will be recorded in the storybooks of the future generations, and such a big thing, you will just fight a real sentence, and you don't even think about how to deal with it later, so this child's play is over?"
The fact is that before Lin Yi returned to Luoshui City, the inn in Luoshui City was already overcrowded.
But most of them really didn't want to come to see Lin Yi.
Ni Yunshan had already been extremely famous in the Southern Heavenly Courtyard before, and before that, after several battles, including the killing of Zong Fengyang, were spread by people, she naturally became the most dazzling star among the younger generation of cultivators in the Southern Dynasty.
In the current Luoshui City, in fact, there are even young cultivators who rushed from Jiankang City day and night when they heard the news earlier.
These people all have an attitude of admiration and learning, and want to see one of her battles with their own eyes.
Even if they had heard that Lin Yi had defeated Li Moxiao before, almost none of these people were optimistic about Lin Yi.
It's just a part of people who are really well-informed, but naturally they are not as superficial as these young cultivators who have not dried up.
......
Li Moxiao walked out of the camp of the Tie Ce Army, he walked through several streets and alleys, and walked into a quiet courtyard.
This small courtyard was originally the residence of a small official in this Luoshui City, but now it has been temporarily requisitioned.
Those big people who came from afar, or the subordinates of big people, naturally couldn't crowd those inns like ordinary people.
"Uncle Xu. β
Looking at the middle-aged man who came out from inside and the several attendants who followed behind him, Li Moxiao bowed and saluted first.
"You don't have to be polite. β
The middle-aged man in the ink-colored fragrant cloud veil returned the salute, thought for a while, and said, "This Lin Yi... Can he really beat you?"
Li Moxiao nodded calmly and said, "Defeated me twice." β
The middle-aged man groaned slightly, and said, "Then what do you think he can do in the battle with Ni Yunshan?"
Li Moxiao raised his head, looked at him, shook his head seriously, and said: "I don't know, you should understand my thoughts, I can tell you that I did lose in his hands, and what is rumored by the outside world is true, but you have a plan, since I am in the Tiece Army, I can only tell you this at most." β
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then shook his head, sighed, and said, "With all due respect, I never figured out how you could be mixed up with someone like him. β
"It's about him who has made me better, at least not as frivolous as he used to be. Li Mo thought about it for a while, suddenly laughed, and said, "But now it seems that Tie Cejun is very interesting." β
The middle-aged man frowned slightly.
He couldn't understand it.
Even if there are more cultivators in an army that is already doing miscellaneous work, how interesting can it be?
What's more, Lin Yi's background determines that no matter how many changes there are in this army, no matter how many military exploits it establishes in the future, it will not be loved by the emperor.
......
"In any case, Ni Yunshan's meaning does not represent the meaning of my Nantian Courtyard. β
In another courtyard, a black-shirted teacher from the Nantian Courtyard said slowly to an old man with a somewhat gloomy face.
The old man's clothes were ordinary, but outside the courtyard where he was, there were five carriages parked.
Listening to the words of this Nantian Academy teacher, the old man just smiled, glanced at the two waiters who were standing quietly at the bottom, and signaled that the tea was already a little cold, and it was time to change to new tea.
This teacher of Nantian Yuan was a man in his thirties, of medium height, with a naturally dark complexion, and he was in a bad mood at this time, and his face became even darker.
Now, as the war becomes more and more motivated, the students of the Nantian Academy are also scattered all over the place, saying that they are practicing practice, but except for the students of the fifth and sixth years of the Heavenly Prison, they will also be taught and given the cultivation methods in some academies, and most of the students will no longer return to the Academy.
It's just that most of the people in Nantianyuan still want to have some control over the students, at least their own opinions can be paid enough attention to these students.
This is also where there are differences in Nantenyuan at present.
Some of the teachings don't think that Nantian Yuan should be some kind of place of power, but since Nantian Yuan is strong enough, a group of people who occupy the dominant opinion in it don't think so.
For a teacher like Wu Guzhi, as a teacher, she should also protect students like Lin Yi like Ni Yunshan, but those who try to get a big share of the powerful world naturally think that for the sake of the interests of Nantian Academy, they can give up the interests of some students.
Now this Nantian Academy teacher is unhappy, largely because of the unpleasant conversation he had with Ni Yunshan before, and... Some of the most outstanding students of Nantian Academyββ
Ni Yunshan, who has been in the Heavenly Prison for four years, Wang Pingyang, who has been in the Heavenly Prison for five years, and Li Moxiao, who has been in the Heavenly Prison for three years, except for Wang Pingyang, who disappeared in Meishan, even Li Moxiao is in the Tiece Army, and they are all in the same place with this Lin Yi.
At this time, Luoshui City, which was still very quiet even if there were many strangers, suddenly became lively.
A piece of news spread quickly through the streets and alleys, into the inns and carriages, and into the courtyards.
At noon tomorrow, Ni Yunshan and Lin Yi agreed to fight openly in the open space at the gate of the south of the city.
"I understand what Nantian Yuan means, but since you are here, what can you do in this matter?" The old man who had changed a new cup of tea looked at the Nantian Yuan teacher and asked with a smile.
He didn't care about the statement of this Nantian Academy teacher, it only mattered, if Hanshan Temple made him unhappy in the handling of this matter, then what could these people in Nantian Academy do.
