Chapter 64: The Gentleman
(Thanks to bolt2009 for the tip, the second update today)
"It seems that you really have to practice...... Xiong Lin shook his head with a wry smile and said.
Then the hammer in his hand changed, and then turned into a small hammer the size of a foot, and the golden light flashed in front of him, and the natal golden bell appeared in front of him.
Xiong Lin raised the small hammer and struck it towards the natal golden bell.
The "dong ......" bell rang far and deep, and a golden ripple rushed forward, hitting the ground, and it was actually shaking the iron and stone rolling.
Xiong Lin's eyes lit up, and the sound attack he made when he struck the golden bell with this golden hammer was more than twice as strong as the sound attack produced by him bending his fingers to play the bell.
"Good...... Good ......" Xiong Lin was very satisfied with this fixed hammer and couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Xiong, this is your natal magic weapon, can you actually use sound attacks?" โ
Hearing this, Xiong Lin shook his head and said:
"It's hard to defend against sound attacks, but once it's stopped, it's completely restrained...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have looked for Brother Mo to cast this hammer again!"
The big man surnamed Mo nodded when he heard this, and said:
"Indeed, there is no invincible method in the world, and there must always be a few more back-ups. โ
"Brother Mo, this time I cast this hammer, the younger brother is very grateful......" Xiong Lin said at this time, "If you don't accept my spirit stones, then I invite you to go to the Victory Building for a drink, you have to agree, right?"
"Hah, of course...... But it's not just the two of us, but also to call Lao Li, let's go to the victory building together, don't get drunk and don't return!" said the big man surnamed Mo, turned his hand and took out a jade talisman, shook his hand and hit it, turning into a streamer and flying towards Tieshan Pass in the distance.
"I've already informed Lao Li, maybe by the time we arrive, he'll already have a drink in the Victory Building......"
Xiong Lin smiled when he heard this, and went to Tieshan Pass with the big man surnamed Mo. entered the city, went to the victory building, and sure enough, Li Zhao was found in a private room, but on the side of it were two empty wine jars.
"Haha, I heard that Senior Brother Xiong has a treat today...... I'm not welcome, let's do three altars first as respect!" Li Zhao laughed, grabbed another altar of 'general's blood', raised his head and poured it.
Seeing this, Xiong Lin and the others shook their heads with a smile. Then the three of them drank wine in this victory building for an afternoon. Rao is three of them are all monks who practice qi at the seventh or eighth level, and when they break up at night, they will inevitably be a little drunk and hazy.
Xiong Lin finally knew that the big man surnamed Mo was called Mo Su. Mo Su returned to the Valley of the Soldiers, and Xiong Lin and Li Zhao returned to the Offering Pavilion.
Back in the small courtyard, Xiong Lin took advantage of the wine to dance the Dingjun hammer in the small garden, and played a set of Dingjun hammer method. After that, it was time to rest.
Second, Xiong Lin got up and was playing the Dingjun Hammer Boxing method in the small garden, when a greeting suddenly came from outside the door:
"Senior Brother Xiong, can we come in?" was Guan Ziyu's voice.
Xiong Lin collected his fist, opened the courtyard door with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile:
"Senior Brother Guan, I've been busy outside for the next few days, and I only came back last night, so I should have visited your ...... today."
While speaking, Xiong Lin turned his eyes, but saw that it was not only Guan Ziyu who came, but Lu Huanqing also followed. At this time, Lu Huanqing looked at Xiong Lin, still with a little smile, his face remained unchanged, as if he didn't remember what happened on the Iron Mountain more than ten days ago.
"Senior Brother Xiong, why did you say this, I heard that your magic weapon spirit weapon has been refined...... For my brother and Huanqing, I came to congratulate him......" Guan Ziyu and the others entered the small courtyard, bowed, and then said, "At the same time, I also brought Huanqing to accompany my junior brother." โ
"Senior Brother Guan, why did you say this......" Xiong Lin said with a smile, but he knew in his heart that it was probably because of what happened on the Iron Mountain more than ten days ago.
Sure enough, Xiong Lin led the two of them to sit down at the table under the iron pine tree in the courtyard, and Guan Ziyu said:
"Senior Brother Xiong, Huanqing told me about what happened more than ten days ago...... But it's not right for Huanqing, I specially brought Huanqing here today to accompany my junior brother!"
As he spoke, Guan Ziyu looked at Lu Huanqing on the side. At the same time, Lu Huanqing also stood up, bowed to this Xiong Lin to the end, and said:
"Senior Brother Xiong, Huan Qing is here to accompany you, but I was in Xia Meng Lang before, and I was worried that my junior brother didn't know the weight of the formation, but he was reckless!"
Xiong Lin squinted, and it could be seen that Lu Huanqing did not sincerely come here to apologize, I am afraid it was because of Guan Ziyu.
"It's okay, Senior Brother Lu doesn't have to mind......" Xiong Lin also said indifferently, so he no longer paid attention to the other party, and turned to Guan Ziyu and said, "Senior Brother Guan is here for something, if it's just that this matter is too much to worry about, what else can I say about Senior Brother Lu." โ
Seeing Xiong Lin not caring like this, Lu Huanqing's body couldn't help but stiffen, and then he took a deep breath, stood up and sat aside, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Guan Ziyu frowned, and then said with a smile:
"There's really one thing here...... I don't know if Senior Brother Xiong is in the outer gate, can he join any small group?"
"Join the small group?" Xiong Lin frowned and shook his head, and said, "No, what does Senior Brother Guan mean?"
"Huh...... I don't think so. Guan Ziyu nodded and said, "The junior brother was a new entry last year, if he joined any small group, he would not have been bullied and sent to this front line in just one year." โ
Xiong Lin didn't know what Guan Ziyu meant, and vaguely guessed, but looked at each other suspiciously.
"Senior brother, since you haven't joined any small groups...... Senior Brother hereby invites you to join our Gentlemen's League!"
Guan Ziyu said clearly.
"Gentlemen's Alliance?" Xiong Lin knew that there were thousands of disciples from the outer sect of the Jiuli Sect, and there were all kinds of small groups, more than a dozen of them in this alliance and that association. However, Xiong Lin didn't know much about these things, and he hadn't heard of this Gentlemen's Alliance, so he didn't think it was a big group.
"That's right, the Gentlemen's Alliance! Take the meaning of 'Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement'......" Guan Ziyu said with a serious and solemn face, "The brothers in the alliance are all members of the sect's scattered cultivation, and because they have been oppressed by those family disciples for a long time, they have formed an alliance to help each other and strive for self-improvement!"
"Is there such a group in the door?" Xiong Lin was a little puzzled.
"That's right, the junior brother also entered the door as a casual cultivator, and he must have been oppressed by the children of those families in the door, so he was sent here...... Guan Ziyu nodded and said, "You can join our Gentlemen's Alliance, everyone helps each other and strives for self-improvement...... It will never be worse than those family children!"
As he spoke, Guan Ziyu looked at Xiong Lin with a pair of eyes, his light flickered, obviously hoping that Xiong Lin would agree.
"You and Senior Brother Lu are both members of the Gentlemen's League?" Xiong Lin asked with a squint of his eyes.
"Yes, we are brothers in the Gentlemen's League, and we are used to taking one word as a pronoun. Guan Ziyu nodded and said.
"Senior Brother Guan, can you allow me to think about it for a few days?" Xiong Lin thought for a while and said, whether to join the Gentlemen's League or not was really a difficult decision for a while.
Nowadays, there are various small groups in the outer sect of the Jiuli Sect, and it is difficult for the scattered people who do not join the small groups to practice...... Those contribution points are required every year, and the cultivation resources that are exchanged for those contribution points...... One person can't always compete with those small groups. Xiong Lin didn't plan to join the small groups controlled by the children of those families, so this Gentlemen's Alliance was obviously a good choice.
It's just that Lu Huanqing is also a person in the Gentlemen's League. The previous incident on the Iron Mountain was still in front of him, and now Guan Ziyu came to invite him to join the alliance, Xiong Lin really had to think about whether there was anything else in it.
Guan Ziyu lowered his eyes when he heard this, and then said with a smile:
"Okay, then I'll wait for my junior brother's reply, but Huanqing and I only have a year left to sit here, don't let me wait for another year!"
With a joke, Guan Ziyu and Lu Huanqing said goodbye and went out.
Out of the Xionglin courtyard, the two came to Guan Ziyu's courtyard. Lu Huanqing immediately said:
"I'll just say that this can't be done, you have to say that you want to pull him into the alliance...... Do you think I apologize to him, does he seem to care a little?"
"That's your apology, there is no ......sincerity at all," Guan Ziyu shook his head and said.
"Hmph, according to what I mean, I will directly report this matter to the alliance leader, let him operate in the gate, and press it down in the name of the sect, and see if he can hand over the formation!" Lu Huanqing gritted his teeth and said.
"Ridiculous, how can any sect plot to rob its own disciples' treasures!" Guan Ziyu said with a cold snort, "If this is the case, if the disciples in the sect still do not deviate from morality, the sect will inevitably decline!"
"Okay, then you just wait for his news slowly!" Lu Huanqing sneered, shook his hand and left.
Seeing this, Guan Ziyu frowned and shook his head, didn't say anything more, and went back to the house.
Here, Lu Huanqing returned to his small courtyard. Sneered, took out a jade sword, took out another jade slip, and the spiritual sense probed into the jade slip to write some information. Then he took up the jade sรจ small sword, and took the jade to the sky, flying towards the south.
The magic sword can pass the book, different from the paper crane that can often only transmit messages over short distances, and this calligraphy sword can fly millions of miles at most and deliver messages.
..................
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, Jiuli City in Jiuli Mountain, a square city in the first ring area of Jiuli City.
This market is located on a mountainside platform, and it is also the time when the market is lively. Active in the vicinity of Jiuli Mountain, most of the transactions are carried out in these markets in Jiuli City.
In the southwest corner of Fang City, there is a small courtyard made of pear wood. This is the resting place of the outer disciples of the Nine Pear Sect who manage this Fang City.
At this time, in the largest room in this small courtyard, a man with a face like a crown of jade, a thin body, and a rather elegant temperament was sitting cross-legged on a futon, holding a jade slip in his hand, frowning as if he had encountered some trouble.
Seeing that this man was wearing a white robe, with six Yuhua pear trees embroidered on the robe, it turned out to be an inner disciple of the Jiuli Sect, a foundation building monk.
The man kept rubbing the jade slip in his hand, frowning, and muttering to himself:
"The three rays of the moon star are forbidden, and now I have successfully burned the two bans of the moon...... It's almost starlight!"
"Starlight Forbidden...... Starlight Forbidden ...... Alas, where should I go to find this Starlight Forbidden?" the man sighed, his brows furrowed even deeper, "Why did I agree to take the second ban first, and let them keep the Starlight Forbidden in their hands?"
"Without the Starlight Forbidden, the Natal Artifact Treasure Forbidden is incomplete, how can I break through the late stage of foundation building? Will I be trapped in the middle stage of foundation building for the rest of my life?" The man thought of this, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of anger.
