Chapter 21: The Red Night Sword

The sky was already bright, and Lin Yizhi was still in this posture of embracing the mountain of sorrow, silently closing his eyes, standing motionless in the middle of this bamboo forest avenue, as if he was asleep.

As the sky got brighter, there were more and more people passing by on this road, mostly peddlers and pawns, or farmers who had gone to work in the fields earlier, in groups of three, five in one place, all with high trousers and muddy legs.

It seems that he went to work in the early hours of last night and caught up with the torrential rain.

At first, these people were in a hurry, and they saw a person like Lin Yizhi standing in such a posture against the wind, although it was a little strange in their hearts, but they were all in a hurry, so they hurriedly glanced at it and left.

After a long time, there are more and more people on this road, and Lin Yizhi is located on the edge of the bamboo forest next to the road, and he actually set up a pergola, picked a disguise, and wrote a big tea word on it.

But not to mention, the business of this humble pergola tea stall is not bad, one wave of guests is gone, another wave of guests will arrive, and the owner of the tea stall is busy and happy.

As time went on, there were more and more people sitting on the pergola stool drinking tea and eating dim sum on the table of the Eight Immortals, and these people gradually noticed that there was such a strange person on the bamboo forest road who had always maintained a posture of spreading his arms forward.

Some people have already begun to whisper, some point fingers, some snicker, some shake their heads.

Most of these people thought that it was a strange person, or that some of them were not very bright, and this action lasted for so many hours, and they did not tire at all.

It seems that he is indeed a little stupid, who would do this to a normal person? So, most of these people looked at it with a sneering attitude, and a small number of people felt that Lin Yizhi had become a fool at a young age, and there was still some faint sympathy in their hearts.

However, some discerning people thought that it was not so simple, and one of them whispered in this tea stall: "He should be a master, not a fool?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and the owner of the tea stall also came over to listen to these high-minded arguments that seemed to see through Lin Yizhi's identity.

"Hey...... How do you know that this man is a superior man...... He's been like this for hours, and the master is so stupid?"

These so-called clear-eyed people glared at each other and said, "What do you know? Look at the direction he is facing, it is the Liwu Mountain, the Liwu Sect in the Liwu Mountain, any one who sweeps the floor is a god, why is he facing there like this? It must have something to do with the Liwu Sect, and ah, you see that the sword behind his back is by no means ordinary, have any of you ever seen a fool who can make a sword?"

This sentence made many people nod their heads, and their eyes towards Lin Yizhi became more curious. The so-called clear-eyed person rolled his eyes, and suddenly looked like he was aware of it: "Oops...... Why did I forget, a few days ago, my nephew, who was practicing in the Liwu Sect, came down the mountain to look for me, and said that a young and promising disciple of the Liwu Sect would come down the mountain to do something earth-shattering, how could I forget...... Oh, really, he also told me the name of this disciple, and I think this strange young man is the young and promising disciple that my nephew said, and whoever is interested, I will contact my nephew in a moment and tell you the specific news......! This news is not said in vain, ten old money for one person, pay it first and know it first......"

As he spoke, he put on an unfathomable look, deliberately accentuated his tone, and said slowly: "Earth-shattering big thing......"

The owner of the tea stall was sleek and sophisticated, and he saw this person's intentions at a glance, and shook his head with a smile and went to work, and some people also returned to their places to taste tea and eat snacks, and some people really believed it, so they rummaged through their pockets to find copper coins, and there were quite a few such people.

Just when this person thought that he had deceived a lot of money this time, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, but it was a familiar person, and he said to him very incomprehensibly: "I said, you said a few days ago that your nephew was not in the Western Foolless Zen Realm in the Zen Lonely Temple to lead the practice, and asked me to give you three taels of silver, saying that you want to invite me to increase the blessing and longevity of the incense, when did your nephew go to the Sorrow Sect again? You tell me clearly!"

After saying this, the envious look in the eyes of the people in the tea stall who originally looked at this person was gone, and was replaced by a gloomy face.

The man suddenly panicked, and said hesitantly: "Uh...... My family is still in a bit of a hurry, so I'll leave first...... said goodbye...... "Anyway, regardless of the copper money already given by someone in front of him, he stood up and fled.

…………

Although Lin Yizhi stood there with his eyes closed, his divine sense was not idle, and he listened to all the words of the people in this tea stall, and he was secretly amused in his heart.

It seems that the master is right, in this world, even an ordinary person should be more vigilant.

However, Lin Yizhi thought about it, and it seemed that the name of the Leaving Sorrow Sect really had a huge impact, just from this person's words and the expressions of the people around him, you could get a glimpse of one or two.

I was quite proud in my heart, but then I felt melancholy, could I still be regarded as a disciple who was worried about my worries? At best, I was a disciple who absconded in fear of sin.

Disturbed in his heart, he accepted this posture and slowly walked towards the tea stall.

The eyes of everyone in the tea stall couldn't help but fall on him.

The owner of the tea stall hurriedly greeted him, and saw that although he was wearing coarse black clothes, the sword behind him was indeed unusual, so he hurriedly got up and greeted him.

Lin Yizhi ignored everyone's gaze, sat down at a tea table, looked up and asked, "Shopkeeper, what kind of tea is here, make a pot." ”

The owner of the tea stall smiled and said: "The shop is too small, only green bamboo leaves ......"

Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "Just ......"

The owner of the tea stall nodded and went.

Lin Yizhi put the Light Trace Immortal Sword on the table, and then secretly thought about where to go next, he remembered the places that Duanmu Ningque had told him, but he felt that it was too far away from him, a long journey, and a lot of hardship.

He suddenly felt that this world was so big, but he didn't know where to go.

At this moment, the owner of the tea stall brought a pot of tea and a plate of snacks over, and looked at Lin Yizhi with a smile.

Lin Yizhi filled a cup of tea with his own care, tasted it, and was full of the fragrance of bamboo leaves, but it was really good.

Raising his eyes and seeing that the owner of the tea stall had not left, he seemed to have something to say, so he smiled kindly and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have anything else to say?"

The owner of the tea stall smiled and said, "What do you think this tea is good?"

Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "It's really good tea!"

When the owner of the tea stall heard this, he smiled again: "The guest officer thinks it's good, you see that my shop is small and thin, and the past customers all pay for the tea first...... and waved his hand again and again: "I don't have the slightest intention of urging the guest officer...... Just ......"

Lin Yizhi suddenly smiled and said, "What should it be...... Drinking tea will give you money......" and he touched his clothes.

At this touch, I thought that I had fled from the Sorrow Sect in a hurry yesterday, where did I bring half a penny, and I couldn't help but blush, and my face was very embarrassed.

The owner of this tea stall saw that he had been touching his clothes for a long time, and said that he thought the tea was not good, so he smiled and said: "Guest officer, if you don't have the right to give this snack to you as the heart of the small shop, it's just that this tea money is ......."

Lin Yizhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The shopkeeper has misunderstood...... It's not that I don't think this tea is good...... It's just that...... It's just a shy ...... pocket."

When the owner of this tea stall heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he snorted suddenly, and said coldly: "I have been making trouble for a long time and have no money, what kind of tea do you eat if you don't have money?......

Lin Yizhi hurriedly stood up and said, "Otherwise...... I won't eat this snack either......" Then he pointed to the big mountain behind him and said, "The shopkeeper's... I am a disciple of this renunciation...... I'll take the money today...... How about I find a way to inform my senior brother and ask them to give you tea money tomorrow?"

After saying this, not to mention the sneering of the owner of the tea stall, the tea customers around here also laughed.

But seeing that the owner of this tea stall sneered, his face was already extremely unkind: "Hehe, I just left a liar who pretended to be his nephew in the Liwu Sect, and now there is a liar who claims to be a member of the Liwu Sect.

Lin Yizhi saw that he was disrespectful to the Liwu Sect, and his heart became annoyed, but he felt that he was just a businessman, so he had to suppress his anger and said: "Shopkeeper, I owe you tea money, what does it have to do with the Liwu Sect? If you speak disrespectfully again, don't blame me for turning my face......

When the owner of the tea stall heard this, he suddenly laughed fiercely, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Why, if you owe the tea money and don't give it, you still want to beat people, right, can people who have left the sect do such nonsense?"

As he spoke, he saw the lightly marked fairy sword on the table, so he made a gesture to grab it, and said while stretching out his hand: "I see that your broken sword is still worth a few dollars, I want it, and I will pay for your tea!"

Lin Yizhi's face sank, and he pressed the Light Trace Immortal Sword and said coldly: "This sword, I can't give you ...... if it's broken."

When the owner of the tea stall heard this, he shouted loudly: "Okay, if you don't give money, you still want to deny it, if you don't give me this sword, I will report to the official to arrest you!"

Lin Yizhi saw his posture, and saw that the onlookers around him were in a dilemma, and suddenly someone snorted coldly and said: "Shopkeeper, your tea is not some kind of elixir fairy dew, how can you want my brother's fairy sword!"

As he spoke, he squeezed through the crowd, slapped a gold ingot in his hand on the table, and said coldly: "Is it enough for your tea?"

Lin Yizhi felt that this voice was familiar, and when he looked up, he saw a white-clothed figure in front of him, with an extraordinary demeanor, free and handsome.

"Nalan...... Why are you?" Lin Yizhi was overjoyed, this person was Nalan Mingxuan.

He never dreamed that he had left Liwu Mountain, but he could still see Nalan Mingxuan.

Nalan Mingxuan smiled heartily at Lin Yizhi and said: "Brother left in such a hurry, I didn't even meet face-to-face, I also chased all the way down the mountain to find you, fortunately I didn't go wrong......"

Lin Yizhi said excitedly: "It happened suddenly, I ......"

Nalan Mingxuan waved his hand and said, "Brother, wait ......a minute," he said, turned his head to the owner of the tea stall and said, "Do you think this ingot of gold is enough for your tea money?"

The owner of the tea stall couldn't help but light up when he saw that it was gold, nodded and said, "Enough, enough......"

Nalan Mingxuan sneered and said, "Give you two more ingots of gold, and your tea stall will belong to me!"

The owner of the tea stall was stunned for a moment, and calculated in his heart that he would not be able to earn three ingots of gold in his life, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, well, now you are the owner of this tea stall!"

Lin Yi was stunned, he didn't know what Nalan Mingxuan meant, and just wanted to stop him, but Nalan Mingxuan waved his hand at him, and then threw the remaining two ingots of gold in his hand to the owner of the tea stall.

Suddenly, he flew up and kicked on the wooden support of the tea stall, only to hear a click, and the pergola of the tea stall suddenly fell halfway, and the smoke and dust stirred.

The owner of this tea stall and those who watched the excitement were all disgraced and embarrassed.

Without waiting for these people to react, Nalan Mingxuan pulled Lin Yi and said: "Brother, take a step to speak, I'll take you to meet someone!"

Lin Yizhi nodded, and the two afterimages went straight to the bamboo forest.

…………

As soon as Lin Yizhi and Nalan Mingxuan stood still, Lin Yizhi felt that the yellow shadow flashed in front of him, and he looked fixedly, it was the senior brother Zeng Ruijin standing in front of him.

Lin Yi's heart was shocked, but he didn't expect that not only Nalan, but also the senior brother would come in person.

There was a sigh in my heart, it seems that the entire Mo Youfeng brothers have never believed that I am a murderer, and they have never given up on me.

Seeing his excited expression, Nalan Mingxuan smiled and said: "Time is urgent, brother don't want children to be long, I have a few things to say, senior brother also has something to say, let's hurry up!"

After that, he took out a package from his back and said: "Brother Yizhi, here are three taels of gold, that is, if you don't do anything, you can spend decades, it was the old man who asked me to hand it over to you, and there are also a few changes of clothes, which were entrusted to you by Sister Xiyue, you can take them all!"

When Lin Yizhi heard this, his eyes turned red, and he was about to speak, Nalan Mingxuan sighed: "That evening, I said that I would find you to fight for wine tomorrow, but I didn't think that today I would have to go to the end of the world, brother, this mortal world is not as good as our mountain, whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, you have to deal with it carefully, I have been wandering the world for several years, I know more or less about the warmth and coldness in this world, brother, you are pure by nature, but you must have enough means when necessary, do you know/"

Lin Yizhi had tears in his eyes and nodded vigorously.

Nalan Mingxuan laughed aloud suddenly: "Okay, save the extra words until we meet again, remember, you owe me a big drunk!"

After that, without waiting for Lin Yizhi to speak, he turned around and retreated a few feet, no longer looking at him.

Lin Yizhi was puzzled, what did Nalan mean by this action? Could it be to avoid suspicion?

He didn't have time to think about it, Zeng Ruijin walked up to Lin Yizhi and said softly: "Little junior brother......

This sentence only made Lin Yizhi unable to hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Vaguely, he remembered that eight years ago, when he first worshiped Mo Youfeng, this dignified and burly man, looking at his eyes, powerful and kind, also called himself as kindly as today: little junior brother.

Bit by bit, climb to his heart, practice together, Zeng Ruijin taught him hand in hand, never hide his selfishness; he was trapped on the top of Moxian Peak, life and death were unknown, Zeng Ruijin blamed himself and was annoyed, looking for it everywhere; he was afraid of the wind and rain for himself, and was not afraid of everyone's criticism. In the past eight years, it is said that he worshipped Lu Wujian as his master, but the leader of his cultivation is really the simple and unpretentious senior brother in front of him - Zeng Ruijin!

"Big Brother ......"

Zeng Ruijin sighed and said: "Little junior brother, I also know about your affairs, the little senior brother is pure and good-natured, and he is by no means the murderer!

Lin Yizhi nodded vigorously.

Zeng Ruijin said: "This time I came, it was the master's explanation, he expected you to take this road down the mountain, so we came all the way, but it was also a secret down the mountain, while fighting the grass and startling the snake, causing unnecessary trouble, little junior brother, the master has something to say to you, let me convey it, you have to listen to it!"

Lin Yiyi nodded and said, "Yizhi listens!"

Zeng Ruijin said word by word: "Shizun said, Hu Feng was killed this time, and there were many involved, but it may be related to the theft of the sword by the Poison Killer a few years ago, so the murderer is likely to be a Poison Killer, Shizun will not let you go to the Far East Sea, where Longtan Tiger's Den, but the Master said, if you encounter someone from the Poison Sect in the future, you must be cautious, and you must find out, can the little junior brother remember?"

Lin Yizhi nodded, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Yizhi remembers!"

Zeng Ruijin said again: "Shizun also said that you will go out for at least one and a half years, or two years at most, no matter what method you use, you will be allowed to return to the Sorrow Sect, and you will still have one quota for the Jianchuan trial!

Lin Yizhi was even more grateful, nodded and said, "Yizhi remembers!"

Zeng Ruijin nodded, and suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Little junior brother, kneel!"

Lin Yizhi didn't know why, but seeing that the senior brother had a serious face, he knew that there must be something important, so he knelt down solemnly.

"Untie the sword!-" Zeng Ruijin said concisely and with a serious face.

Lin Yizhi knew that he only had a light-mark fairy sword given to him by his master, and if he solved the sword, could it be that the master wanted to take it back?

Even though he was reluctant, he had to untie the sword, and rubbed it in his hand for a while, and then his hands trembled and he lifted the sword up.

The light trace fairy sword shone brightly, and it seemed that he also felt that he wanted to be separated from his master.

Zeng Ruijin lightly traced the fairy sword, put it away, and said loudly: "Lin Yizhi, take the sword!"

Lin Yizhi was even more puzzled, so he had to raise his hand again.

Suddenly, his hand sank, and an immortal sword that was much heavier than the Light Trace Immortal Sword was put into his hand by Zeng Ruijin.

Lin Yizhi raised his eyes and saw that the sword was fiery red all over, the sword aura was awe-inspiring, and there seemed to be flames rolling on the sword's body, neighing and trembling.

There is also a red bead on the hilt of the sword, and there seems to be a flame on it, which is eye-catching.

At first glance, this sword looks the same as Shizun's Night Flame Immortal Sword.

Zeng Ruijin said slowly: "Little junior brother, this sword was entrusted to you by the master, the master walked the world back then, got two treasure fire spirit beads, refined them with Xuantie, and got two fairy swords, one is called Xiaoyan, and the other is called Chixiao." This Chixiao Sword, Shizun originally intended to pass it on to the person who inherited the mantle, but Shizun was worried that you would walk the world and have no sharp weapons to help it, so he gave it to you in advance! You have to cherish it, this Chixiao has too many traces of sorrow, so it is easy not to expose it. Little junior brother, the master wants you to cultivate diligently, and when you are to cultivate to Mahayana, you can summon the three karmic fires in this sword hilt fire spirit bead, and the sound is magnificent!"

Lin Yizhi knelt on the ground, crying silently, and only after a while did he carefully put away the Chixiao Immortal Sword, and bowed to the end in the direction of the Leaving the Sorrow Sect again, muttering, "Master Xie...... Give me the sword!"

Zeng Ruijin helped him up, and suddenly a whisper came from Lin Yizhi's ear, he knew that Zeng Ruijin had used the secret technique of sound transmission: "Little junior brother, this sword is very important, even Nalan Mingxuan can't reveal a single bit, cut it!"

Lin Yi was stunned, not knowing why, but he still nodded heavily.

Zeng Ruijin waved at Nalan at this time, and the two stood side by side.

Zeng Ruijin said again: "Little junior brother, the Liwu Sect has already sent someone to hunt you down, but the master doesn't know who it is, it doesn't seem to be any chief disciple, the little junior brother has a difficult road ahead, so he can do it himself!"

Lin Yizhi's expression froze, and he nodded in thanks.

Nalan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and Zeng Ruijin arched his hand.

The two of them didn't say much, and their respective swords soared into the sky and disappeared.

Lin Yizhi looked at the sky where the two disappeared and didn't say a word for a long time.

After a while, he touched the Chixiao Immortal Sword behind him again, and thought, where am I going next?

I heard that the sea of burial sins in the West is the Zen realm of no idiot, and the second Zen Temple in the world is there.

There is no killing there, but it is a place to refine one's heart, so it is better to go there.

After making up his mind, Lin Yizhi came up with this bamboo forest with one step.

But as soon as he took a step, he heard a vicissitudes of life and a magnificent voice: "Immeasurable Tianzun, where is the little brother, it is better to let the poor Dao calculate it for you, what is the future of your trip?"

When Lin Yizhi heard this, he couldn't help but stop and look behind him.

But not far away, there was an old Taoist priest standing with a fairy wind bone, looking at him with a dusty face.

P.S: I recommend a book, Reincarnation Tianyu's "Reincarnation Book", a book about fate and reincarnation, deep thinking and questioning.
