Chapter 16: Strange

Early the next morning, a small bamboo house.

Jiang Lin woke up and bent his waist to regain his strength, and at the same time looked at the familiar position at the head of the bed, everything was as usual. Xiaobai was still curled up and asleep. !

Thinking back to last night's events, Jiang Lin sighed for a while. I didn't expect the masked woman to be so grumpy, and as soon as she found out that they were peeping, she would use her real Edgeworth attack.

However, fortunately, she didn't chase after her, otherwise they would definitely not be able to escape, after all, it seemed that the woman's cultivation was definitely much higher than theirs. If he is caught, God knows what the outcome will be.

"What a false alarm!" Jiang Lin thought happily in his heart.

Then, Jiang Lin no longer thought about the possibilities of what happened last night, and immediately took out the three-point fire spirit recipe classic, and continued to comprehend the second half. In an instant, two hours passed, and then it was noon. Jiang Lin picked up Xiaobai, who had woken up, pushed the door and went out to eat.

"Uncle Chen, let's just have a steamed snow fish as usual, and just add some other things. Jiang Lin looked at a skinny man in his fifties and sixties, and his eyes were a little dull and looked at the old man in the distance and said.

"Ahh Uncle Chen came back to his senses in shock, and when he saw that it was Jiang Lin, he immediately smiled with a relaxed expression. Then he got up and staggered to the back kitchen, and then a slightly sighing voice came again:

"It's just that you two will spoil my treasure!"

"The fish are running out! Tonight happens to be the night of the full moon, remember to accompany me to fish at night!"

"Haha, okay. That's troublesome Uncle Chen. ”

"Whew!"

Jiang Lin replied happily when he saw this, and at the same time he was grateful to Uncle Chen. Xiaobai in his arms was also in good spirits and called back. Then, Jiang Lin sat down on the side and waited quietly, cleaning up Xiaobai's fur from time to time, and also remembered Uncle Chen's life during the period.

It turned out that Chen Bo was a disciple of Jinyang Peak of the Qing Martial Sect, and he had been a beginner for more than forty years; When he and the Taoist couple went out to travel, they were taken advantage of by traitors, which caused the spiritual bones and foundations of the two to be damaged to varying degrees, so that their cultivation plummeted, and their bodies became thinner and thinner.

However, just when they were preparing to spend the rest of their lives in the ordinary, they met a spirit chef from the Star Pavilion, and the two talked happily and became confidants, and after the two exchanged, they were ready to nourish the spirit bones and body with spiritual food to delay the flow of mana.

Therefore, later the two returned to the sect as spiritual chefs here, one is to spend the rest of their lives in peace, and the other is to make some small sacrifices for the sect. Jiang Lin thought about Uncle Chen's life and sighed in his heart. Looking at the current attitude of Chen Bo to enjoy life without fighting with the world, it is obvious that he has found his own pursuit.

"Then what am I pursuing? Find out the truth about the family's demise!

"Okay, you Jiang Lin, it turns out that you came here. An abrupt and loud voice broke Jiang Lin's meditation, and when he turned his head, it was really Gao Chen, and Su Hua and Yan Linqian were there.

"yes, we're looking for you in the house. Su Hua said.

"Haha. Yan Wuyu smiled.

"Uncle Chen, remember to add a few dishes!"

"Why did you come to dinner so early today?" Gao Chen called in the direction of the back kitchen, and then patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and sat next to him and asked.

"Didn't you run too hard last night, and you're hungry too fast today. Jiang Lin was speechless, anyone who hasn't eaten for so long will be hungry, it's just a little early today.

"Haha, really. ”

"But, then again, there are quite a few doubts about what happened last night. Gao Chen looked like he was laughing heartily, but he turned to talk about last night's events.

"What do you say, how many?" Jiang Lin still had doubts when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask with an inquiring look on his face.

"We talked all morning today, and some things felt weird. Specifically, I want Su Hua to tell you. Gao Chen said nervously.

"I went to that place once this month, and when I came back last night, it always felt like something was wrong. We talked about it this in the morning, so I was going to talk to you about it. Su Hua touched his chin with his hand and said with a look of memory.

"Tell me about it. Jiang Lin said.

"We can't be sure that the masked woman last night is the one I saw earlier. There are two doubts. ”

"First, the style and temperament of the woman in the front and back halves are completely different, but what I saw earlier is consistent. ”

"Second, the masked woman attacked us. She has the leisure to dance the sword within the scope of the sect, and she must be a disciple of the sect, and she will actually attack us. Even if we peek at her sword dance, it doesn't stop there. Su Hua rolled his eyes, and then said with his head in his head. Gao Chen and Yan Linqian on the side also nodded in response.

"I think that the masked woman's body shape and style are indeed a bit like the senior sister, and the contrast in temperament during the sword dance in the second half of the year is indeed a suspicion. Jiang Lin recalled the scene last night and then said.

"Yes. That's the same way we see it. Yan Linqian affirmed.

"As for the second suspicion, I think it's a bit far-fetched. Didn't she come after us, with her cultivation, she would definitely be able to catch us easily. ”

"Is it just to scare and scare us?!" Jiang Lin repeatedly tasted the second doubtful content, and then raised his eyebrows and said his doubt.

"That's right, then the problem comes again. Is the masked woman's attack a scare or an attack on others?" Su Hua analyzed carefully, and said with a gleam in his eyes.

"En. If it's the former, it seems a bit too much to attack with that kind of power as a fellow brother and sister. ”

"Then if it's the latter....." Jiang Lin thought about Su Hua's words, thinking that there might be other people last night, and he couldn't help but feel a creep in his heart.

You must know that the four of them had carefully checked it at that time, and Xiaobai in his arms was not alert, and there were still outsiders. What if someone with evil intentions wants to assassinate them? I don't feel safe when I think about it now, and it seems that I will have to practice some other auxiliary exercises in the future.

"Could it be that other senior brothers are also peeping?" Jiang Lin suddenly thought of another possibility after a few turns of his mind, and continued.

"Well, it's possible. Su Hua nodded.

"Actually, there is another possibility, if the senior sister judges the two of them, she may be so hot-tempered. Gao Chen looked at Jiang Lin and added.

"En, but after analyzing so much, what do you want to express?" Jiang Lin saw that everyone had analyzed so much and didn't know their purpose today, so he asked again.

"Haha, actually, we just want to remind each other that it's better not to go to that place in the future. Seeing this, Yan Linqian on the side said bluntly.

"Whether it's the former or the latter, it's not something we can handle, so we have to put out this thought in the future!" Su Hua said regretfully, obviously he was the most conflicted about it.

"Haha, I thought I was talking about something. I committed a taboo last night, and I definitely won't go again. Now I still listen to Elder Shangguan, work hard to cultivate, and if you don't advance, you will retreat!" Jiang Lin said with a smile, no matter what the situation was, he would definitely not take any risks.

"Haha. Look, I'll just say that Jiang Lin is smart. Gao Chen patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder vigorously and exclaimed.

"Yes, you can see it. ”

"Huh. ”

"When the meal is ready, take it yourself. Just then, a hoarse voice rang out. However, in the ears of Jiang Lin and others, it was like heaven.

"Okay, here we are. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Chen!"

"Ah, and the snow fish, why is there only one!" Chen answered and took the lead in the back kitchen, and then an unexpected and regretful voice came.

"Let's see if there's any more, otherwise it's Xiaobai's dish again. Yan Linqian also said regretfully.

"Jiang Lin, Xiaobai always robs us of our food, you have to compensate us in the future!" Su Hua scolded with a smile.

"Haha, okay. It has a soft spot for this dish, and I'm very helpless!" Jiang Lin smiled helplessly.

Fire Spirit Garden, unitary time, a stone room.

Jiang Lin held his breath and the trick in his hand flew over, and then the red light on his body flickered, his arms shook and raised, and suddenly three fist-sized fireballs appeared, rotating around his body.

The next moment, as soon as the trick was revoked, the three fireballs immediately collapsed and dispersed. This three-point fire spirit technique has finally been cultivated to the beginning of Xiaocheng, and the next step can be to start melting and transforming spirits, Jiang Lin thought so in his heart, and then left his stone room.

Jiang Lin walked through the hall, and after several turns in the corridor, he came to a small courtyard garden. There is a green pine on the edge of the garden, and the rest are flowers and plants, and there is a stone pavilion in the center, surrounded by simple wooden frames, and some dark green vines are coiled on them, which are full of vitality and a little quiet in this early summer.

"Xiaobai, where are you?" Jiang Lin began to call as soon as he entered the garden. It turned out that when Xiaobai was awake, Jiang Lin would put Xiaobai in this small garden once he came here to cultivate, and today was no exception.

"Xiaobai, come out quickly!"

"You're really called Xiaobai!" a clear and pleasant voice rang out from the central stone pavilion.

Jiang Lin was stunned, there are still people here. Turning her head to look, a slim woman with long hair and waist reached her waist and walked out with Xiaobai in her arms, and it was Senior Sister Liu who Shui Lingyuan had met before.

"Hello senior sister!" Although Jiang Lin was very surprised that senior sister appeared here and hugged Xiaobai, he still greeted first.

"Well, junior brother is polite. Anyway, her name is really Xiaobai, I see that she is snow-white, so I call her. Senior Sister Liu was not cold, and asked very casually while stroking Xiaobai.

"Whew!" Xiaobai responded happily. But as soon as Jiang Lin heard Xiaobai screaming, his heart sank. The events of last night are still vivid, regardless of whether the masked woman is a senior sister or not, this scream immediately tightened Jiang Lin's strings.

Immediately, Jiang Lin immediately stepped forward to take over Xiaobai in his senior sister's arms, and said, "Xiaobai, come here, don't stain your senior sister's clothes." ”

"It's not in the way, she loves to be clean, and she doesn't smell on her body. But this voice is a little familiar!" Senior Sister Liu looked at Jiang Lin's flustered appearance, and finally said meaningfully.

"Ah?!Don't all small animals call like that?" Jiang Lin was shocked and didn't look at his senior sister's eyes, afraid that she would see something about herself, so she had to stroke Xiaobai and said to herself.

"Senior sister, it seems that Xiaobai likes you very much, otherwise it wouldn't let you hug it so easily, after all, it is very recognizable!"

As soon as I called her, she came. ”

"By the way, Senior Sister, this is the Fire Spirit Garden, why are you here. Jiang Lin always felt a little strange, but he just couldn't remember any point, and suddenly remembered that this Senior Sister Liu is a water attribute talent, what is she doing here.

"I've got something to do. You get busy first. See you later!" Senior Sister Liu naturally replied when she saw this. Immediately, after speaking, he walked to the stone chamber deep in the courtyard.

"Oh, good. Senior sister, see you later!" Jiang Lin replied as he looked at his quiet back.

"Could it be that she can't do the dual attributes of water and fire, but water and fire are incompatible!"

"Strange, strange!" the voice of confusion sounded again from within the Fire Spirit Garden.
