Lin Batu saw someone talking, and it was not surprising: "The court has the role of the court, and the martial arts have the truth of the martial arts, and it can't be said that the court is expensive, and the martial arts are cheap, you see that the hegemony of the dynasty has been changed from generation to generation, and some sects have been inherited for thousands of years, if I can make the righteous gate into a sect that is not easy for a thousand years, there is nothing to say about pity, I don't know this lady, how to call it?"

"Lin Zhangmen is ambitious, the old body is very admired, the old body Dongting Gang steward Xie Mingru, learned that the disciples of the sect returned, the righteous Qimen Xian brothers and sisters came to our Dongting realm I don't know what happened, Chu Gang Master specially ordered me to come over to inquire, if there is anything that needs our Dongting Gang to contribute, I can also reply to the help leader's decision. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info or if the two of you have a look, follow me back to the main hall and see our helper, it's okay, our helper has long heard the young hero of Lin's head, and he has already seen it. Xie Mingru said.

Lin Batu and Ji Rumeng glanced at each other, the two of them had just entered the realm of Dongting, and Chu Mochou of the Dongting Gang not only knew about it, but even sent a steward to contact him, the tentacles of the Dongting Gang were very keen, like the most people in the Beggar Gang, although they were well-informed, but when it came to the feedback speed of response efficiency, it was far behind.

Lin Batu was worried about the power of the Demon Sect, and he had already had the idea of forming an alliance with the Dongting Gang, but he was a small family, and it was inconvenient to take the initiative to come to the door, since Chu Mochou sent someone to contact him this time, he might as well go and see: "In this case, we want to worship the Lord when we enter the ground, and if the Chu Gang Master does not give up, my senior brother and sister should come to visit." ”

The head hall of the Dongting Gang, as soon as he entered this gang, Lin Batu felt that it was different from other sects, its sect design, unlike other sects, has countless buildings that increase momentum and beauty, the whole is a concise, ordinary people can't see anything special, but Lin Batu is deep and dark, and the layout is different from ordinary people.

The layout of the Dongting Gang is not a Qimen formation, but the line is smooth, if there is a foreign enemy attacking, no matter which angle of the road comes, it will be attacked from all directions, and even there is a hidden passage on the wall of the Dongting Gang, even if the strong enemy unexpectedly attacks the center, the Dongting Gang can still deploy manpower to counterattack at will. Such a practical stronghold, Lin Batu has never seen it, and he is surprised.

Xie Mingru accompanied Lin Batu's brother and sister all the way into the Dongting Gang, and also observed the behavior of the two along the way, seeing Lin Batu's expression and vision, he couldn't help but secretly admire, this person is not only strong in martial arts, understands the people's livelihood, and is so proficient in the way of attack and defense, no wonder Jing Yuanjia used a person from the rivers and lakes to fight for him, looking at his vision, it is the key point of the Dongting layout route, and even the secret door and hidden road have not hidden his eyes, fortunately, the gang has decided to be a friend, if it is an enemy, I am afraid it is a big threat.

Chu Mochou was still sitting on the first seat of the Dongting Hall, with a veil on his face: "The head of the long-term Yanglin family is young and promising, and he has worked hard for my martial arts league many times, this time I don't know what to do when I come to my Dongting Gang?"

Lin Batu said a few words, explaining his intentions, he is now on the right track, there are not many things to worry about, he plans to run an industry in Jinling with his sister, and he goes to relax for a few days every year, most of the famous gardens in Jinling have owners, only one Zengjia garden, which has been abandoned for a long time, and originally wanted to buy it from the government, but learned that it had been acquired by the Dongting Gang, so he came to ask if he had any intention of selling.

"Jinling Zengjia Garden?" Chu Mochou motioned to Xie Mingru to introduce the situation.

Xie Mingru called it the eleventh volume of the file. After checking it, he replied: "Zeng's garden is the property of Zeng Qichang, the servant of the South Household Department, Zeng Qichang's corruption was found by Feiwei three years ago, and the court was in the crime of distributing and copying the family, and later the crime property was sold, purchased by Tong Baifa of the Xuanzi Department under the jurisdiction of Dongting, the price was 12,000 taels, and the estimated value is about 35,000 taels, and it is expected that there is room for growth. ”

"Good and perfect sect affairs arrangement, all kinds of files are classified, all kinds of affairs are executed separately, all behaviors are well documented, and there are even assessment reports, this Dongting is very helpful. "Lin Batu is highly educated and knows how difficult it is to do this kind of data work in times like this.

Chu Mochou sighed: "Lin Zhangmen's eyesight is also good, this garden has a lot of value-added space, but I don't think the rise of Zhengqi has not been long, why did Lin Bamen's ambition begin to fade and start a property and buy a house?"

"This woman is so lively" Lin Batu haha: "I naturally still focus on the development of the sect, but there are many female disciples in my sect, in addition to my junior sister Ji Rumeng, among the four major disciples, Lan Caiyun, Yuan Xuerong, and Pei Jieyu are all women, and the practice of martial arts also requires a combination of work and rest, and it is not bad to buy a garden business and give them occasional relaxation." ”

Chu Mochou thought about it, the four little girls around him didn't also think about playing all day long, so he nodded and said: "Since Master Lin said so, I don't care about anything anymore, it doesn't hurt to give you the garden, I will give you 12,000 taels at the original purchase price, but Master Lin wants to remember the favor of my Dongting Gang." ”

Lin Batu was overjoyed: "Chu Gang Master said and laughed, my righteous valve is not far from Dongting, and the two factions belong to the same martial alliance, which can be regarded as the same qi and branches, the west Demon Sect is coming, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the righteous valve, as soon as the righteous valve is broken, Dongting is facing the Demon Sect, and you are east of the Dongting is the Taiyi Sect, now the Taiyi Sect and the Demon Sect are in unison, if the Dongting Gang is broken, the righteous valve is not immune to the attack from both sides, it is reasonable, our two factions must support each other for assistance. No matter what kind of human affection is needed, we are natural allies. ”

Chu Mochou smiled, this Lin Batu is a snake with a stick, but what he said also makes sense, and I Dongting has long had this intention, as long as our two factions can get along, sooner or later there will be a chance to pull you into my camp. Xiang Xie Mingru nodded and said: "Mingru, this matter will be handed over to you, and the payment is not in a hurry to collect, the silver taels or drugs and weapons sent by the Zhengqi Gate can be used to offset the account, you let the Xuanzi Department contact them, I am sleepy, go back first." He turned his head and said to Lin Batu: "Master Lin, what you said, we are allies, I take this seriously." "Get up and leave.

Since Chu Mochou confessed, Xie Mingru naturally complied, with Xie Mingru's efficiency, dealing with this trivial matter is not a matter of minutes, Lin Batu's action this time was so smooth It was unexpected, not to mention that he got the title deed, the Dongting Gang easily finalized the alliance, and Zhengqimen no longer had to worry about the pressure from the west, it was really a double happiness, and he got the title deed and went to Jinling with his junior sister.

Although Lin Batu left, the chief helm of the Dongting Gang still talked about this person, Chu Mochou leaned on the chair: "Mingru, Lin Batu is really as good as you say?

Xie Mingru's face flushed: "The gang leader is joking again, the head of the Lin family not only has a junior sister by the side, but the hero and his party almost became Situ Ba's son-in-law, how dare I have an idea, but this person is indeed different from people in the martial arts, not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also involved in people's livelihood, offense and defense, and even intelligence analysis, the gang leader is making fun of me, in fact, from my point of view, if he doesn't have a junior sister by his side, the gang leader doesn't care about his low status, if he can accept him under his skirt, it will be good for big things." ”

Chu Mochou laughed: "Mingru, are you using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, you also said, there are so many women around him who admire, where can I squeeze it, no matter what, since you value this person so much, you will order the pigeon character department to work more on the right valve." ”

Inside Jinling City

Gongye suffered from gains and losses in Jinling City, and he didn't dare to go to Dongting, his life was also difficult, and there was really no clue, this meat was in the pot, but the greedy raw pot was not his own, this kind of taste was really enough.

Finally, on this day, Lin Batu and Ji Rumeng waited for the two, and hurriedly rushed up and asked: "What's the matter, did you get that woman?"

Ji Rumeng said: "My senior brother is out of the horse, what else can a woman not do, not only is the land deed in hand, but the Dongting Gang has made an alliance with the senior brother, you can be careful with the Gongye gang leader, if you dig up the treasure, the senior brother will also take it to share it with Chu Mochou." ”

"No, Brother Lin. Gongye looked at Lin Batu's forced smile, and took a sip: "I've been in a hurry these days, I can't sleep well, look at my dark circles, you two are still playing tricks on me, is there still a king law in this world?

As soon as the title deed arrived, Lin Batu was immediately asked to start construction in the name of repairing the garden, first surrounded by a thick curtain on the periphery, and set up a scaffold inside, and the beggars helped the disciples to pretend to repair the scaffold, in fact, staring at the periphery, not letting anyone snoop, and the three of them looked for suspicious places in the garden according to the map, digging everywhere, but they never got the point.

Gongye had nothing to do, but had to hand over the spirit card to Lin Batu for study, Lin Batu took a closer look at the spirit card, a big two points, a mess in the middle, a moment but also incomprehensible, pacing in the garden, in order to seek inspiration, one day, suddenly saw the flowers blooming in the garden, the heart moved, remembered that day in the hero door flower sea that level, from the pavilion fell into the hole, and there is no heaven and earth in the hole, there is even a pond, you can see the sky upward, is not these two points are also a similar situation? Calculated the distance between the two points, taking the central flower pond as the base point, Gongye Yi and Ji Rumeng walked in a circle according to the distance to see what buildings could be found. After a while, Ji Rumeng shouted: "Senior brother, come quickly, there is a dry well here." Gongye Yi Lin Batu hurried over, and it was indeed an ancient well.

With clues, the next step is to investigate, Lin Batu jumped into the well, but he only felt that the sludge was thick, he lost half of his body, he couldn't find anything, and he was frozen by the sludge and couldn't jump, so he had to let Ji Rumeng put a rope on it and pull it down. Halfway through it, I found that a well brick on the wall of the well was half-protruding.

Virgo syndrome attacked, casually pressed on it, wanted to press it, who knew that as soon as the palm was pressed, it felt that the bricks could be pushed, and when it was bulldozed, I only heard a sound of pricking, and the ground shook, and I didn't know what changes had occurred. I went up to the well and looked around, but I didn't find anything special.

Gongye sent people to go down and hollow out the sludge, and there was no hidden passage at the bottom of the well, and he was depressed, Lin Batu was so stinky that he couldn't do it, so he said: "You study slowly, I'll go to the pool in front of me to wash it first, this smell is too stinky." Everyone didn't care, Lin Batu walked to the pond in the front garden, but he was taken aback, only to see a whirlpool in the middle of the pool, the water level in the pool was falling, and quickly jumped down to clean it, and when he returned to the shore, the water in the pool had bottomed out, and a big hole was exposed at the bottom of the pool.

Lin Batu immediately called Gongye Yi and Ji Rumeng, arranged for someone to clean up the bottom of the pool, and prepared to enter the hole, but Gongye Yi first ordered someone to catch a rooster, put it in the basket, put a candle on the side, put down the hole first, look down from above, faintly a little fire, until the basket to the end, it was not extinguished, after a while, and lifted the basket again, the rooster inside, although the spirit was awkward, but still alive.

Gongye said: "It's safe down there, you can go down." He took a torch and fell down the rope.

Ji Rumeng pulled Lin Batu's clothes, Lin Batu knew what his junior sister wanted to ask: "If it is the treasure of the Marquis of Tsing Yi here, hundreds of years have passed, and the air inside does not know if it has deteriorated, let the living creatures go down, and the spirit will not die for a period of time, and the candle will not be extinguished in the end, which means that the air below is turbid at most, and there is no poisonous gas, and the air is enough for people to breathe." ”

Ji Rumeng nodded: "If the chicken dies and the candle goes out, it won't be able to go down." Lin Batu said: "In that case, you can only use a pipe to press in the air, and then set fire to make the air flow and change the gas, and it will take at least a few days to enter again." ”

It didn't take long to land in the hole, and the road was vertical and horizontal below, a comparison, it was the pattern between the two points on the spirit card, everyone followed the path shown in the diagram, and finally came to the front of a stone room, Gongye said nervously: "The treasure of the Marquis of Tsing Yi is inside, I don't know how much harvest there will be this time, it's really exciting." "I stepped forward and pushed open the stone room, but there was only a sarcophagus and a closet inside. A dry skeleton was lying on the coffin next to the coffin.

Lin Batu stepped forward to take a look, and in the closet, there was only a medicine bottle, a codex, and nothing. Gongye walked to the coffin and pushed open the lid of the coffin, which was just the skeleton of a woman's clothes, and there was nothing else. Everyone looked at each other, what about the treasure of the Marquis of Tsing Yi? Maybe there will be a record in that codex. Lin Batu gently unfolded the codex, but it only told a story.

"Yu, Tsing Yi Hou Yin Tianzhao, life across the rivers and lakes, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are happy and angry in the palm of the hand, smiling proud of the world, irresistible, can be described as a lifetime of happiness and enmity, the only life has a big hate, when he was a teenager, he did not hesitate to love for secret skills, his wife was poisoned by the teacher, although he was born like death, after the rest of his success, he swept the world, sought the world's strange ice crystal coffin, put it into the cold jade to protect the body from being bad for decades, put it in the coffin of his wife, traversed the rivers and lakes to seek treasures, scattered heavy gold, and finally refined the miraculous medicine resurrection pill for decadesAt this time, my beloved wife was speechless at the end, and it was difficult to wash away the regret in my heart when she poured the water from all over the world. Tsing Yi Hou Yin Tianzhao is a pen to police future generations. ”

Lin Batu sighed after reading the codex: "It seems that this Tsing Yi Hou Yin Tianzhao was asked by his master in the same way when he was a teenager to exchange the most precious thing for the inheritance of martial arts, but it turned out that his most precious thing was his wife, who took the master's poison and was unconscious although she did not die. Later, where did Tsing Yi Hou get this ice crystal coffin, hung his wife's life, spent his whole life, searched all over the world, and finally succeeded in refining the medicine, but his skills were ruined. ”

Gongye said: "No wonder he is so eccentric, he has to ask someone to exchange the most precious thing for him, this person's martial arts and wisdom are peerless, but this heart is too narrow." ”

Ji Rumeng said: "If it weren't for this, who would take out the precious things, how could he refine the magic medicine, but if so, he would be full of hatred, and in the end, although the magic medicine was completed, he couldn't save his wife, it was really a dilemma, but it was a pity that he had spent his whole life energy, and he saw that he had reached the last step, but he met that Jin Ruyan, hateful, I originally thought that Tsing Yi Hou's methods were too cruel, but now I think about it, if not, how can I vent the hatred in my heart, Jin Ruyan's physical pain, how can I match Yin Tianzhao's heart." ”

Gongye said: "People in the rivers and lakes have always wondered how Jin Ruyan succeeded, but after reading this codex, they understood, so coincidentally, Jin Ruyan's appearance is quite similar to Tsing Yihou's wife, Tsing Yi Hou rescued Jin Ruyan with empathy for a while, but in the end he harmed himself." As he spoke, he carefully touched the ice crystal coffin, and saw that there were three small holes under the coffin, and there were some jade shavings in it: "It seems that the cold jade in this ice crystal coffin is exhausted, and in the end, his wife turned into a dry bone in her sleep, and it is not painful to die." ”

Lin Batu picked up the medicine bottle, but he didn't know how this medicine bottle was made, it seemed that he couldn't find the mouth of the bottle by carving it into a whole piece of jade, and there was no seam on the whole body: "This Qingyi Hou is really extraordinary, he has this magic medicine, I don't know how it was put into this piece of jade, and there is not a single seam." ”

"Brother Lin is interested, just take it back and study it slowly, this kind of elixir is always called Hua's business. After a lot of effort, I finally read a story, if the martial arts heroes who have bothered about the treasures of the Marquis of Tsing Yi for hundreds of years know, they don't know how much blood they will vomit. "Gongye Yi can't raise any energy now, and the beggars have been tracking down the secret treasure of the Marquis of Tsing Yi for several generations, but in the end it is such a result.

Lin Batu took the medicine bottle and said: "Tsing Yi Hou does have treasures, the treasures he collected after graduation were finally turned into this pill, this pill can be regarded as extremely precious." ”

Gongye said: "Precious and useful, if it is to improve the skill, even if it can cure all poisons, it is useful, this medicine is used to wake up the living dead, no matter how high the value of the materials is, the medicine is also a waste, if it can be restored to those heavenly treasures that have been consumed, it would be better." ”

Lin Batu didn't care, he didn't have much expectation on this trip, he didn't expect it in his heart, he didn't have any disappointment, but the more Gongye studied Tsing Yi Hou, the more he understood this person's shocking martial arts and the amazing wealth he had gathered back then, but in the end he had to be empty, and the whole person was in an extremely bad mood, and after arranging people to continue to repair this garden, he said goodbye to Lin Batu Ji like a dream and went back to Songzhou to be the helm of Tianfu.

After the Jinling incident was over, Zhengqimen returned to a peaceful life, but one day Ouyang Xuan suddenly visited, and asked Lin Batu to ask for the soul rejuvenation pill and a soul nourishing pill that he had given up before, saying that it was of great use, and hoped that Lin Batu would not mind, Lin Batu accepted two pills at that time, which were also used for research, but there was no reason to have to, knowing that Ouyang Xuan rarely asked for people in his life, since he was useful here, there must be a legitimate reason, so it didn't hurt to take it, so he handed it over to Ouyang Xuan.

It's just that a few days after Ouyang Xuan left, there were people from the Wumeng side again, and recently there were people from the Wumeng who came to visit the Zhengqi Gate one after another, and the disciples were not surprised, so they directly led them up to the mountain gate to meet. This time, it was the Qingmen Daoist of the Qingyun Sect who came, and after a few words of greeting between the two sides, they got to the point.

Qingmen Dao said: "The day before yesterday, I received a message from the flying pigeon of the Ziying faction, the Demon Sect is attacking in a big way, I hope that the Wumeng will send rescuers, the disciples of the Zen Heart Temple and the Qingyun Sect have already gone over there, but the road is relatively far away, and it is too late for a while, the Zhengqi Gate is relatively close to Ziying, I hope that Lin Zhangmen can take the first step, Ziying's disciples' strength is acceptable, but there is a lack of top masters, if Lin Zhangmen can help, when it can be supported until the day when the Wumeng army arrives." ”

Lin Batu said: "I expected that the Demon Sect would not be in peace, if I made a move, I would inevitably attack Ziying, and it was not easy to endure until now, tomorrow I will rush to Ziying with my junior sister to show support, but I don't know which masters of the Demon Sect are attacking this time." ”

Qingmen said: "At this point, there is no news from the Wumeng for the time being, this time the matter is urgent, and I haven't had time to inquire about it, and the carrier pigeon from Ziying is also unknown, but it is reported that the Demon Sect Leader Leng Aotian is also in retreat, so there should be no masters." ”

As soon as Lin Batu heard that Leng Aotian did not participate, his heart was decided, with the current strength of the Demon Sect, except for the sect leader, the remaining four kings and five elders did not have much threat to Lin Batu. On the second day, he set off for Ziying with his sister.

The two of them were riding all the way to Ziying, the sun was like fire, after galloping for more than 100 miles, the horses could not be forced, and gradually slowed down, Ji Rumeng said: "Senior brother, if you continue to drive like this, the horse is afraid that it will not be able to stand it." There is a row of willow trees in front, so it is better to go to the front tree to rest for a while and slow down. ”

As soon as Lin Batu touched the seat and dismounted, his body was already sweating like pulp, so he rode his horse to the willow tree, rested and drank the horse, and saw that the sun was scorching in the sky: "The Demon Sect really chose a good time, on this hot day, even if you have the heart to help, I am afraid that even if you arrive, you will be tired." ”

"Who's to say it's not, but you have to be a tired soldier, and if you can't get there, you can't be a tired soldier. "Under the tree three or four zhang away, there are seven or eight people sitting, wearing Fan Yang Li, unable to see their faces clearly, Lin Batu was a passing merchant at the beginning, and when he heard the words, he knew that the person who came was not good. The seven or eight people stood up and approached the front, took off Fan Yangli, and the first one was the head of the Wushan faction who had been subsumed under the jurisdiction of the Demon Sect, Wu Caiyi, followed by two younger sisters, several disciples, and a bearded man with a strange appearance and a dark complexion.

Ji Rumeng was already angry when she saw this woman, not to mention that she was already a person from two camps, so she said coldly: "If you can't catch up, you can't be a tired soldier, but just a few of you, I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to stop us." ”

Wu Caiyi laughed coquettishly: "We also knew that the kung fu of Master Lin and Ji Nuxia is extraordinary now, but if we are not sure, how dare we stop it." ”

"Except for this black man, the others are all from his Wushan faction, nothing special, it seems that this black man is his reliance" Lin Batu said: "Presumably this black man is your support, but I don't know where he is sacred, and it seems to be a little familiar." (To be continued.) )
