Chapter 27: The Inheritance of the Mantle

"Surround me! If anyone tries to escape, they will be killed. The voice of the black-robed man standing on the giant coffin was low, resounding throughout the courtyard.

The patients who had just tried to escape, hearing this, suddenly stopped their movements, and did not dare to move for half a minute. Everyone present gradually quieted down, but everyone looked panicked and frightened in their eyes, only Lin Xuanqing and the three of them glanced at each other, full of incomprehension.

"Don't rush to make a move, just wait and see. Lin Xuanqing whispered to Qin Mengge, quietly walked to a hidden corner, and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Ahem!" There was a violent coughing sound from inside the hut, and then the "Divine Doctor Du" took the child's little hand and slowly paced out. It wasn't until this incident that everyone saw the appearance of this Du Divine Doctor clearly, with thin cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and long flowing hair under the chin, which gave him a feeling of immortal wind and bones.

When Lin Xuanqing saw this, he opened his mouth, and the word "Master" swirled in his throat, but he swallowed it back again. This kind face, which had appeared in his dreams many times, finally appeared, which made him very excited. But the situation in front of you is obviously not a good time to recognize each other.

So he could only endure it, but he already had mixed feelings in his heart......

"Divine Doctor Du" looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the black-robed man, frowned and said, "You are acting like this, isn't it? The people present are all old man's patients, and no one seems to have offended Your Excellency." What is the intention of implicating innocent people in this way?"

"Hehe," the black-robed man smiled and said with a big grin, "I don't know if I should call you 'Divine Doctor Du' or 'Old Lin'." ”

"Divine Doctor Du's" face changed, and then returned to normal, and said calmly: "The so-called name is just a title. What is the difference between what you call it?"

"Hahaha, who would have thought that the ancient sword gate forest cave master who was famous for a while would be reduced to being a doctor in this uninhabited barren mountain. If it weren't for the fact that Hou accidentally passed by here three months ago and recognized you, I'm afraid the world would still think you were dead!" The black-robed man smiled proudly, as if he had discovered an unexpected "treasure".

Those Orions and outsiders from the city naturally couldn't know what kind of amazing identity the "Ancient Sword Gate Forest Cave Master" represented, but they could also know from the words of the black-robed man that this identity must be extraordinary. They didn't expect that this "Divine Doctor Du" had such a big background, especially those hunters who had known him for more than ten years, and they were even more surprised.

"The past has become the past after all, and the old man is just an ordinary doctor now, and there is no point in mentioning the past. Why did you make such a big battle?" Lin Dongfang said this, undoubtedly admitting what the black-robed man was referring to, which made Qin Mengge and Lin Shurong happy at the same time.

To everyone's surprise, the black-robed man's next words surprised everyone. I only heard the black-robed man say calmly: "I want to worship you as a teacher." ”

What? This person actually wants to worship the divine doctor Du as a teacher?

The patients who had just been frightened into the air had a strange thought in their minds at the same time. The other party is a fairy-like figure who can fly in the void, and he will worship a doctor as a teacher, this picture ...... It's a bit too incongruous. Moreover, the other party's way of apprenticeship seems to be too violent, and it doesn't make sense.

Even Lin Xuanqing couldn't help but look weird.

"Oh, do you want to learn from the old man how to cure diseases and save people?" Lin Dongfang pondered a little and asked indifferently.

"I want to learn how to kill from you. The black-robed man corrected arrogantly.

"Hehe," Lin Dongfang shook his head lightly and smiled, "What the old man has left now is the kung fu of curing diseases and saving people, if you really want to learn, come to this cottage and give the old man a hand." The old man is a doctor, how do you know how to kill people, Your Excellency can't help but laugh. ”

"Hmph, are you looking down on me?" a smug anger appeared on the black-robed man's face.

"Your Excellency is serious. The old man doesn't even know what your surname is, so why do you say that you look down on you?" Lin Dongfang said with a smile.

"That's good, listen up! I am Hou Mubai, the fifth-generation head of the Hou family of the Xiuxian family in Qixia County, forty-eight years old this year, and I am already a powerhouse at the tenth level of the Cloud Qi Jue. Of course, in the eyes of a senior master like you, maybe the tenth layer of Yunqi Jue is nothing, but there are no more than ten people in the entire Qixia County who can beat Hou. The black-robed man said confidently.

"Are you done? If you're done, you're ready to go. Lin Dongfang didn't seem to hear his pride, he just waved his hand, like sending a clown who jumped off the beam.

"You ......" Hou Mubai, the black-robed man, had never been so despised, his self-esteem was frustrated, and he laughed angrily, "Okay, good." I have long known that with your former status, you will never take others lightly. But you should also see that someone Hou came this time, not empty-handed, but still carrying this huge coffin. ”

The old man saw it. So what?" Lin Dongfang asked without humility or arrogance.

"If you readily agree to teach me all the powerful supernatural powers of the Ancient Sword Sect, naturally everything is easy to discuss, and I will treat you like my own father and let you live for the rest of your life, but if you cherish yourself and despise me, then this giant coffin is sealed with your corpse. At the same time, everyone in this courtyard, as well as everyone in the mountain village in front of you, whether men, women, young or old, will become your funeral offerings. Hou Mubai said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

They finally knew why Hou Mubai appeared with such a strong man. It turned out that he was actually going to forcibly force Lin Dongfang to hand over the powerful exercises of the Ancient Sword Sect. As for the so-called "apprenticeship", it is just an excuse.

But think about it, this Qixia County Hou family is at most a low-end sect, and even if the family treasures it richly, it is by no means as good as the ancient sword sect. If you can really get one or two volumes of ancient scroll secrets from Lin Dongfang's mouth, the entire Hou family may be able to quickly rise to the immortal cultivation realm.

Who can not be tempted by such a temptation?

Lin Xuanqing couldn't help but secretly shake his head, this Hou Mubai is really greedy for profit, and he would make such an idea to his master, it is really not a pity to die!

"Aren't you afraid of the old man?" Lin Dongfang glanced at Hou Mubai strangely.

"Afraid, haha, of course I'm afraid!" Hou Mubai Senran smiled, not hiding anything, "Ten years ago, the only Jade Spirit mid-stage powerhouse in the Ancient Sword Sect was just a name, and it was enough to make many people frightened. When I first met you three months ago, I almost broke my mind. But fortunately, I didn't panic at that time, but secretly observed, and finally found that there was no slightest fluctuation of aura in your body, which was clearly a sign that your cultivation was lost. But even so, I still didn't dare to touch you, for fear that there would be fraud in it, so I spent another three whole months collecting all the information about you in the past ten years, and finally concluded that the reason why you are incognito must be due to the conspiracy of some powerful enemy, resulting in the destruction of all your supernatural powers. And you don't dare to go out of the valley, let alone contact the same sect of the Ancient Sword Sect, lest the enemy follow the trail, right?"

"When I got this news, I naturally no longer had the slightest concern. Even if I trap you here, those powerhouses of the Ancient Sword Sect probably won't find out about my Hou family's head. Of course, the premise is that I will slaughter everyone present so that the news does not leak out. You say, am I right?" Hou Mubai was complacent, he was indeed a cautious person by nature, and before doing things, he always had to investigate the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and he would not take action until he was sure that he was 100% sure.

It is precisely this kind of character that has made his Hou family prosperous in the past one or two decades, and has the momentum of becoming the first family in Qixia County.

"What you did is indeed leaky, the future life is terrifying!" Even Lin Dongfang couldn't help but praise Hou Mubai's actions.

"Hehe, when it comes to the depth of the city, Hou is naturally not inferior even in the face of those old monsters in the Jade Spirit Realm. Besides, you are now a wasted person, what is the use of keeping those magical secrets, so I have to accompany you to the coffin? It is better to find a successor as soon as possible to inherit your mantle. If possible, I can kill the enemy for you, and make a shame for you. Hou Mubai used both soft and hard, first a threat, and then a heavy promise, even Lin Xuanqing couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

Thinking about it, Hou Mubai's words are indeed quite tempting.

"This is indeed not bad, but it's a pity that the old man has already accepted a closed disciple, you are a step late......" The wrinkles on Lin Dongfang's face gradually dispersed, and he actually smiled.

"You have an apprentice?can't be, when did it happen?If it's true, why didn't I find out?" Hou Mubai shouted.

"That was 10 years ago. At that time, the child was also brought out by the old man from this mountain. Lin Dongfang's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.

"Who is he? If you don't name him, you're lying to me. I'm not a three-year-old, so I'll fall for you. Hou Mubai shouted sharply.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. His surname is Lin and his name is Xuanqing. However, his name was also chosen by the old man himself, because he was an orphan with no name and no surname. The old man gave him the surname Lin, just to treat him as his own. Except for him, no one is qualified to inherit the mantle of the old man. Lin Dongfang said lightly.

Lin Xuanqing, who was standing in the distance, heard this, his fists suddenly clenched, and a thought came to his mind: It turned out that as early as ten years ago, Shizun had already regarded himself as his own child. And he regards him as a master and a father, in this world, there is nothing to do, who can cut off the feelings between them.
