Chapter 2: Hidden Forces
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the shopkeeper walked towards his room with food according to Lin Yan's previous explanation.
The shopkeeper had a solemn look on his face, and his eyebrows were full of uneasiness.
Just when the shopkeeper was about to arrive at the door, Lin Yan, who was pranayama in the room, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the door, and secretly said in his heart that he had come. On that day~ He deliberately asked if Xiao Er's Moon Tower was related to Xuan Lei Sect, but he was not asking Xiao Er, but the person in charge of Moon Tower who wanted to explore through his mouth. When the man heard the news, he would have been unable to hold his breath, and he would have come to find out the details of himself.
"Come in. The shopkeeper came to Lin Yan's door and was about to knock on the door, when Lin Yan's voice came from inside. When the shopkeeper heard this, his heart froze, he had completely restrained his breath, and he still found himself easily. It seems that this person is really as Liu Jian said, and his cultivation is far beyond me.
"Yes, Senpai. Since the shopkeeper knew that the other party's cultivation was higher than his own, he immediately became respectful and said.
The shopkeeper pushed the door in, and happened to see Lin Yan coming down from the bed~, and his instinctive sense swept away, wanting to probe the other party's.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yan frowned, his face sank, and a powerful force suddenly collided with the divine consciousness that swept over. The shopkeeper snorted~ and his face turned slightly pale. For a moment, his face turned pale, and he secretly scolded himself for being confused, and it was quite taboo to use his divine sense to probe others, but this person in front of him was not one who had not cultivated well in the past, wasn't he looking for death? ”
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully looked at the middle-aged man with a rich face in front of him, who was so bold and reckless, daring to use his divine sense to probe himself.
"A small mid-foundation monk is so bold, don't you know that it is quite taboo to use your divine sense to probe others...... Judging by your appearance, it seems that you often do such things, I think you have been the king of the earth realm for a long time, and you have even forgotten the rules!" A trace of murderous intent appeared between Lin Yan's eyebrows.
"The forgiveness of the seniors is the stupidity of the younger generations. The shopkeeper noticed the killing intent on Lin Yan's body, and his heart suddenly became furious, and he was deeply afraid that the other party would anger him and lead to a catastrophe of death.
Lin Yan looked at the middle-aged man with a panicked face, and his heart was almost the same, just shock it a little.
"Don't take it as an example!"
The shopkeeper's heart suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you seniors, thank you seniors." ”
Lin Yan walked to the table and sat down slowly, then his eyes fell on the man, motioning for him to put the food down.
The shopkeeper immediately put the food plate in his hand on the table, his head lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Yan at all.
"If the seniors have no other instructions, the juniors will retire first. "The shopkeeper doesn't want to stay here any longer at this moment.
"Don't worry, I have something else to ask you. Lin Yan picked up the chopsticks, twisted a piece of tendon~ meat in his mouth and chewed slowly.
The shopkeeper's heart trembled when he heard this, and when he thought of three days ago, he suddenly understood that he was probably already known by the other party, or that the other party intended to guide him to come.
"The younger generation must know everything. A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth.
Lin Yan nodded slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked aloud, "Is this Moon Tower a stronghold set up here by the Xuanlei Sect?"
A trace of doubt appeared in the shopkeeper's heart, and he didn't know why the other party wanted to ask about this matter, but when he thought that the other party might be jealous of the Xuanlei Sect behind Wangyue Tower, he no longer concealed it and said: "This is indeed the stronghold set up by the Xuanlei Sect here. ”
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper glanced at Lin Yan cautiously, as if he wanted to see something on his face. But he was disappointed to find that the other party's face was calm, neither surprised nor afraid.
"Put away the little bit of caution in your mind. Lin Yan glanced at the shopkeeper and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as the shopkeeper was about to speak, he saw a token flying towards him. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his right hand to grab the token in his hand, and then his pupils suddenly shrank, and the other party gave him a token that was unique to the Xuanlei Sect.
"I don't know what position the senior has in the Xuanlei Sect?" the shopkeeper suddenly respectfully handed the token to Lin Yan.
"It's just a deacon at the outer gate. Lin Yan took the token and put it into the receiving ring again. He asked if this was related to the Xuanlei Sect because he was the deacon of the Xuanlei Sect, and if it was really related, it would be easier for him to get the news in this important capacity.
"Liu Changhong, a disciple of the outer sect of the Xuanlei Sect, visited Lord Deacon. The shopkeeper shouted.
"Huh?" Lin Yan frowned slightly, the other party was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and it stands to reason that he should be an inner disciple of the Xuanlei Sect, how could he say that he was an outer disciple.
Liu Changhong heard the other meanings of Lin Yan's voice, and couldn't help but show a bitter and helpless expression on his face and explained: "Lord Deacon, you don't know, a person like a subordinate who is old and has no potential will be sent by the sect to garrison the strongholds set up by various sects, in exchange for the elixir and spirit stones needed for cultivating immortals. ”
"I didn't build the foundation until I was forty years old, and I accepted the task of garrisoning the Moon Tower, and now I am fifty-four. It took me a full fourteen years to reach today's cultivation, and I am afraid that there is no hope of a breakthrough in this life. The more the shopkeeper spoke, the deeper the sadness on his face.
Lin Yan's heart suddenly became clear, thinking of a place like the Xuanlei Sect, if you don't have the potential to continue, the sect will basically abandon it and will not allocate resources to them again. And if they want to obtain immortal cultivation resources, they can only complete the tasks hung by the sect.
Lin Yan deeply realized that it was not easy to cultivate immortals, and if he wanted to move towards a higher realm, talent and resources were indispensable. He Lin Yan can come to this day, and he took his life in exchange, death is like a shadow behind him, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will be devoured!
Lin Yan sighed, and then looked at Liu Changhong silently, because he didn't know what to say to comfort the man.
"The subordinate is rude. Liu Changhong quickly cleaned up his mood and said apologetically.
Lin Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
"The subordinates haven't asked the deacon if there is anything in the sect to order him to come here?" Liu Changhong vented his frustration in his heart, and immediately remembered the purpose of this trip, and then asked.
"It's not that the sect has something to order, I came here purely to pass by and want to cultivate, and at the same time I want to learn some news from you that ordinary monks don't know yet. Lin Yan squinted his eyes slightly and said truthfully.
A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Changhong's eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face showed a pensive look.
Seeing this, Lin Yan secretly said in his heart that what he said just now might make this person mistakenly think that his identity was fake, and then explained loudly: "You don't have to doubt, my identity is genuine." ”
Naturally, his subordinates did not dare to doubt the identity of the deacon. Liu Changhong's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed down and explained.
"Then let's say it, I naturally won't treat you badly!" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, and no longer looked at Liu Changhong.
Liu Changhong immediately did not hesitate, and said: "In addition to the news circulating in the world, my subordinates have indeed heard some more important news. ”
"Although the immortal cultivation realm of the Zhao State was destroyed, many monks still fled into the Wei State. The subordinates learned from these mouths that when the demon beast attacked the Zhao country, a large number of monks of unknown origin suddenly appeared, and cooperated with the demon beast to capture many monks and mortals alive. ”
"Unknown origin?" Lin Yan frowned, and couldn't help but think that this group of monks who came from an unknown place would have something to do with the group of disciples who secretly captured the sect's disciples, if so, I am afraid that there is an extremely large force hidden in this domain, and this force seems to be unnoticed by the four major sects.
Lin Yan's thoughts were chaotic, if it was really as I thought, this force had been hidden in the dark before, but at this time, it came out with the Demon Spirit Valley breaking the seal, does it mean that because of this incident, they no longer need to hide...... But what makes them think that they don't need to hide anymore, demon beasts, or their own strength, or something else?
Suddenly, a flash of brightness flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, could it be that the person behind this suddenly appeared force was Nangong Wentian!?
Lin Yan thought about it, and it seemed that only this explanation was the most reasonable, but the question that followed was that Nangong Wentian disappeared for a thousand years, secretly supported the forces, and made an agreement with the demons of the Demon Spirit Valley, what was he planning?
Lin Yan's expression changed for a while, and he finally couldn't figure it out. It's not that he doesn't have enough wisdom, it's that because of his limited cultivation and vision, he can't see the most fundamental key to many things.
Liu Changhong stood aside, quietly looking at Lin Yan, whose face was constantly changing, and couldn't help but secretly wonder why the other party would react so much when he heard this monk of unknown origin, could he have any understanding of the origin of this group of people?
However, he did not open his mouth to ask, after living for more than 50 years, he has long been a seven-trick exquisite heart, knowing what to ask and what not to talk about.
"Does the top level of the Xuanlei Sect have anything to say about this monk of unknown origin?" Lin Yan didn't think about it, but raised his head and looked at Liu Changhong and asked.
"I had already sent this news back to the sect many days ago, but there was no order from the sect. Liu Changhong shook his head and said.
"Any other news?"
Liu Changhong nodded, then slowly spoke, and said some news that Lin Yan didn't know.
Lin Yan listened to Liu Changhong's words quietly, the news he said later was somewhat useful, but it was not very useful.
Then Lin Yan slowly stood up, took out two pills with his backhand and said, "I see that the aura in your body is mottled, and there are a lot of spiritual qi impurities. There is a myelin-cleansing pill and a cleansing elixir, which may be of some use to you. ”
Liu Changhong was overjoyed, he didn't expect the other party to make such a generous move, and the value of a marrow cleansing pill and a clear spirit pill can be said to be extremely high. He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of gratitude in his heart, he knew his own situation best, most of his self-cultivation was piled up by relying on pills, ordinary pills couldn't dissolve the erysipelas and mixed aura in his body at all, but with these two pills, it was not a problem at all.
"Thank you, Lord Deacon!"
