After Lin Yan buried Elder Tie's body, he returned to his residence, preparing to wait quietly for the woman to deliver the elixir that could suppress the poison in his body.

Time passed by the day, the day after he returned to his lodgings. Outside the door, which had been closed, there was a sudden low knock on the door.

Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly guessed in his heart that it was the person sent by the woman?

Immediately, Lin Yan stopped the cultivation of the Qi Armor Technique obtained from the old man he killed, and asked, "Who is outside the door, what is the matter with Lin?"

"Lin, are you really back?" there was a hint of surprise and surprise in the voice outside the door.

"Well, this voice seems to be ......" Lin Yan's eyes squinted, this voice seemed to be ...... Zhang Qing, and listening to his tone, he didn't seem to know that I was back.

"Outside the door, it's Zhang Daoyou?"

"It's Zhang. ”

Lin Yan immediately got up, stepped forward and opened the door.

"Haha, I know that Lin Daoyou's means are extraordinary, and he won't fall so easily. Zhang Qing saw Lin Yan who appeared in front of him, and the residual surprise and surprise in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Zhang Daoyou, come in and say. Lin Yan made a gesture of invitation and invited Zhang Qingdao to talk about the door.

"Lin Daoyou, please!"

After that, Zhang Qing was no longer polite, and walked towards the room first.

"Zhang Daoyou has already returned to the sect, presumably those people have been killed by a few of you, right?" After Zhang Qing sat down, Lin Yan spoke.

"It's not because there are Taoist friends who have restrained the enlightened and consummated monk, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult for a few of us and the others to return to the sect. Zhang Qing's eyes flashed with fear, and his face subconsciously showed a look of happiness.

Speaking of this, Zhang Qing suddenly stood up, bowed to Lin Yan and said: "The grace of Taoist friends, Zhang Qing dare not forget it in this life, in the future, he only needs to give one or two orders." ”

Lin Yan stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Qing from bowing, and said with a calm face: "Fellow Daoist, you and I are the same sect, and besides, we are both people who are accepted by Elder Tie to do things, you and I don't have to care about these false courtesies." ”

"What Daoyou said is reasonable, it is Zhang who has seen it. Zhang Qing laughed and sat down again.

"Can you tell me what happened after Lin left?" asked Lin Yan.

"Naturally. Zhang Qing paused for a moment, as if organizing the language. After a while, Zhang Qing slowly spoke: "After Daoyou and the old man left that day, the three of Zongzhi saw that the biggest threat was led away by Daoyou, and they were not hiding the means. ”

"Although several Kaiguang monks, including Nazhang Mountain, have good means, they are the opponents of the three of Zongzhi. In about half a pillar of incense, all the black-clothed people, including Zhang Shan, were killed by the three of Zong Zhi. ”

"At that time, Daoyou and the old man had never returned, Zhang guessed that Daoyou might be in a stalemate with the old man, and Zhang wanted to propose that the three of them go to help Daoyou, but who knew ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Qing, who was originally calm, suddenly appeared with a touch of anger.

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in his calm eyes.

Zhang Qing looked up and saw that it was just opposite Lin Yan's eyes, but when he saw the cold light in his eyes, his heart was inexplicably tight.

"Someone must have been obstructing it. The cold light flashed, and Lin Yan asked again as he returned to normalcy.

Although it was only for a moment, Zhang Qing still subconsciously looked away, and at the same time continued: "Just as Daoyou guessed, when Zhang said this, the three of them fell into a short silence. After a while, the leader of this operation, Zongzhi, said that they said that the three of them have little strength left now, and going to help may affect Daoyou, but it will become a burden to you. ”

And he also said Lin Daoyou, you sacrifice your life to lead the old man away, don't waste Daoyou's kindness in vain. Let's take advantage of Lin Daoyou's ability to hold back the old man, so it's better to leave here first. ”

"Hehe, this sect thinks that I am going to die. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yan's mouth, but this smile was extremely cold, like the solemn autumn wind, which made people shudder.

Zhang Qing sighed, and said with a look of shame on his face: "It's also to blame Zhang for his meager strength and low status, so he can't speak at all in front of Zong Zhi, so he can only helplessly follow them back to the sect together, and I hope that Daoist friends can forgive me." ”

"Daoist friends don't have to care, you were able to speak at that time, Lin was already very grateful. Lin Yan said.

"Daoyou can not mind, and Zhang is relieved. Zhang Qingdao.

"What was the reaction of that Ling Shuang and that cross-fleshed man?" asked Lin Yan as he changed the subject.

Zhang Qing's eyes moved, he didn't understand that Lin Yan already had a grudge against this Zong Zhi, and when he asked the two of them at this time, he was probably planning to settle it afterwards. Thinking of this, Zhang Qing's heart couldn't help but relax, and secretly said that he was fortunate to have an extra heart. In fact, that day~ he just mentioned it, and he knew in his heart that Zongzhi would not risk his fall to help, so he had a say.

Lin Yan glanced at Zhang Qing, and after dealing with him a few times, this person was a rather life-saving person in his life, even if it was really as he said, I am afraid that this person was just casually mentioned.

However, Lin Yan didn't mean to break it, and it was better to hide some things in his heart.

That Ling Shuang agreed with Zhang's opinion, but Zong Zhi whispered a few words to Ling Shuang, but he didn't continue to insist. As for Guo Fu, he stood aside...... Silent. Zhang Qing pondered for a moment and said.

Lin Yan nodded slowly.

"Let's not talk about this matter, I don't know why Daoist friends came this time?" Lin Yan asked as he changed the subject.

"I almost forgot about business. Zhang Qing clapped his hands and said: "Zhang has two things to tell him this time, one is the last letter that he came to hand over to Elder Tie, and the other is to inform Daoist friends to go to the Inner Gate Law Enforcement Hall. ”

"Elder Tie's last letter?" Lin Yan asked after glancing at Zhang Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a minute...... In fact, before Zhang came here today, he first went to Elder Tie's residence and found that Elder Tie was not inside. When he said this, Zhang Qing stopped his right hand stretched into his sleeve robe and asked, "Presumably, Daoist friends have already seen Elder Tie before." ”

Lin Yan nodded slightly and said, "When Lin went, Elder Tie's body had already turned cold. ”

Zhang Qing nodded, and then took out an envelope covered with red paint from his cuff.

"This is what Elder Tie handed over to you a few days ago, and when Daoist friends return to the sect, let Zhang be sure to hand it over to you personally. ”

Lin Yan glanced at the red paint on the envelope, then opened it, and looked at it at a glance, the content of this letter was roughly the same as what Elder Tie had entrusted to him before. So he just glanced at it, and with a flick of his right hand, the letter suddenly spontaneously combusted, and in a moment turned into a cloud of black ash and fell to the ground.

"Thank you, Lin will definitely try his best to fulfill the elder's last wish. Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Then please leave it to Daoyou. Zhang Qing said.

"By the way, Daoist just said that he notified Lin to go to the Inner Gate Law Enforcement Hall, what is the matter?" Lin Yan then asked.

"Actually, this matter is also related to Elder Tie. ”

"Huh?"

"Elder Tie doesn't have much to live because of his cultivation except for the poor pool. As soon as he died, his position would be vacated, and the sect originally planned to let Lin Hu succeed to Elder Tie's position, but where did Elder Tie want, so he pushed you out, intending to let you succeed. And this time he went to arrest Zhang Shan, which was also the result of Elder Tie's discussion with the sect. ”

"Could it be that the result of this deliberation is ......" Although Lin Yan did not finish his words, Zhang Qing already understood the meaning he wanted to express.

As Daoyou thought, this action was to test whether Daoyou was qualified for the position of elder. Zhang Qing glanced at it, and then said, "After Zhang went to Elder Tie's residence today, he guessed that Lin Daoyou might have returned, so he rushed over. ”

Lin Yan noticed a word in Zhang Qing's sentence, and couldn't help asking, "Hurry, is there any change in this position?"

"Yes, originally, if Daoyou successfully returned this time, coupled with Elder Tie's recommendation, the position of elder would inevitably fall to you, but because of the Zongzhi, the sect has already determined that you died in that mountain range, so ...... Just yesterday, Lin Hu was allowed to succeed him. Zhang Qing shook his head and said.

"I see. Lin Yan couldn't hear the slightest emotion in his words, but his heart was full of thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you angry at all?" Zhang Qing felt that Lin Yan's reaction was too bland, although it was only the position of an outer gate law enforcement elder, it also made many people fight for it.

"Why is Lin angry, the ambition is not here!" Lin Yan said indifferently.

Zhang Qing could be regarded as hearing the meaning of Lin Yan's words, and the other party did not take the elder position in his eyes at all. If it were other early consecration monks who said this, they must have lost their hearts, but this person ......

"The ambition of Taoist friends is beyond Zhang's reach!" Zhang Qing laughed.

"Daoyou's words are serious. Lin Yan waved his hand and said: "Lin just doesn't want to be trapped somewhere, if he really becomes an elder of this outer sect, he will only make himself feel quite uncomfortable." ”

Since Daoyou thinks so, then Zhang will not repeat it. Then Zhang Qing slowly got up, hugged his fist at Lin Yan and said, "Today, not only did I see that Daoyou returned safely, but also completed the things entrusted by Elder Tie, then Zhang will leave." ”

Lin Yan also stood up, hugged his fist and said, "Then forgive Lin is not far away." ”

"Fellow Daoists stay. ”

Zhang Qing immediately turned around and left, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Lin Yan's field of vision.

"Zhang Qing just vaguely told me about the connection between Zong Zhi and Lin Hu, but I didn't expect this person to be so scheming. But I'm curious about what this person's purpose is?" Lin Yan looked at the wide open door, his empty eyes, suddenly showed a cold light, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No matter what the purpose of this person is, but Zong Zhi is behind his back, so he has to ask for some interest back." ”

"Then I'll go to the Inner Gate Law Enforcement Hall tomorrow!"
