Chapter 23 Guild
On an autumn night, the moon hangs thinly in the sky, and occasionally scattered stars can be seen all around, shining faint and dazzling light.
Zhang Xia touched her face, the cold touch was as cold as the moonlight tonight, she turned to look at the person sleeping on the bed, just when a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, it suddenly turned cold again.
"Downstairs in the C-size room, the guests from beyond the sky, the old man has been waiting for a long time."
She turned around abruptly, but there was nothing in the void.But just now I clearly heard... Zhang Xia picked up the Qingshuang sword, quietly left the room, and came to the door of the C-brand downstairs.
"Since you're here, little friend, come in and have a cup of tea." A vigorous and powerful voice came from inside, the same as what I heard just now.
A wave of spiritual power opened the door, and the people in the room revealed their true faces. It was vaguely discernible that it was an elderly man with the same mask as Zhang Xia.
"Do you know Steward Zhou?" Zhang Xia immediately thought of Zhou Shi, the former steward who kindly gave her a mask. This kind of mask is not only thin, but also can block the prying eyes of the gods, which is hard to find outside.
So she immediately thought of the only connection point, which was Zhou Shi. Zhou Shi served the mortal royal family, so this person is likely to be related to the royal family.
"My little friend is not from this world, so I don't know what happened to him." The old man didn't answer his relationship with Zhou Shi as if he didn't hear it, but asked back with a smile.
Zhang Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt her breathing tense. At first, she didn't understand what the phrase "guest from outside the sky" meant, but now she suddenly understood that the old man knew that he came from another world.
She reacted, and after a little panic, she relaxed: "This is not my intention."
"Everyone has their own destiny, and they all have a mission to come here. Since my friend is destined to be with me, why don't you ask me to be your teacher." The old man released his spiritual consciousness. He is a golden core sword cultivator, and it seems that he should be in the late stage .
"Thank you, it's just that I don't like to be restrained, so let's forget about the apprenticeship." Zhang Xia walked over and sat down face to face with the old man, still guessing the identity and purpose of this person in his heart, just to accept apprentices?She doesn't think she has amazing bones, let alone talent at all.
"Little friend, this sword implies the energy of yin and yang, and the lingering blue aura is definitely yin. There should be a golden object of yang to match it. Can you lend me a look?" Regarding the matter of apprenticeship, he turned to Qingshuangjian.
"Senior, whatever you want." Zhang Xia handed over the sword, she is only in the fusion period, if this person has malicious intentions, there is no need to go through so much trouble.And this person's purpose will always be revealed.
"Sure enough, it's the Qingshuang Sword. I wanted to help my family's disappointing grandson to lead a thread, but I didn't expect that my little friend is already married. It's my delusion." The old man said regretfully, but there was a smile in his tone .Suddenly, he drew his sword and stabbed, the tip of the sword barely scratched Zhang Xia's fingertips, a thin smear of blood remained on the sword, and a golden light flashed for a moment, everything returned to normal.
"Senior, what is the meaning of this?" Zhang Xia couldn't dodge it in time, and the expression on her face was a bit dignified. Blood will flash gold, could it be a murder weapon?
"Don't panic, little friend, this method is only useful when you are unprepared. This sword can cure all kinds of poisons, and the thing that matches it can block all kinds of weapons. If the owner of these two objects has no other in mind, they are just ordinary spiritual weapons, obviously, the person who wears the yang object has a heart for his little friend, so this sword has such an extraordinary appearance."
After the old man finished speaking, he returned the sword and remembered an incident a few days ago. The magic weapon that the child refined seemed to be a mirror glowing with golden aura. match.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, everything has its own destiny in the dark, but I don't know if the person in front of me is also emotional. It seems that I will find an opportunity to find that child to take a look at her natal magic weapon.
"Why? This sword is just a thank you gift from someone else, not as complicated as the senior said." Zhang Xia looked at the sword on the table, feeling a little unbelievable, more unbelievable.
The owner of the yang thing cares about herself, how is it possible, she has been here for nearly three years, and the people she has met can be counted with one hand, where is there anything....
For no reason, Zhang Xia thought of the person sleeping upstairs. The expression on her face that she didn't care about gradually became serious under the mask, but how could it be possible?The woman who was accidentally rescued at that time was covered in blood and could not see her face clearly. She must have thought too much.
"Don't worry, little friend. Maybe the old man has misread it. Let's go. I'll teach you how to improve your cultivation." Seeing Zhang Xia shaking his head secretly, the old man changed the subject again.
"Thank you senior, I really don't intend to be a teacher." Zhang Xia shook her head, she didn't want to have another master for no reason.
"Cultivation is like planting a tree. If no one cares about it, the tree can grow, but there will inevitably be miscellaneous branches, and it may even grow into a tree with a crooked neck. That's why everyone enters the sect and apprentices, because the sect and master It is the person who prunes the miscellaneous branches and straightens the saplings, and my friend, there is no need to ask a teacher, the old man just saw that your tree is too messy, and he kindly corrects one or two, so there is no need to be burdened."
After a long talk, the old man turned around and left the restaurant, heading out of the city.It seems that he doesn't care whether there is anyone following behind, and it seems that he has already foreseen what will happen next.
Zhang Xia followed silently. She had to admit that she was easily persuaded. After all, she didn't want to grow into a tree with a crooked neck. At present, it seems that this old man should be related to the royal family. , is still a mystery.
But in this way, she has less worries.However, after some pointers, the old man announced his family name and shattered all her guesses.
"This old man is a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect: Luo Tianji, from now on you will be my disciple. You still have a senior brother. I will take you to meet him when I have a chance in the future. I will go as a master. Don't send me off as a disciple haha." The old man said. Qing Lang laughed twice, leaving only his voice in the air, and he no longer knew where he was going.
"I didn't say I worship you as my teacher..." Zhang Xia lowered his brows, and then chuckled a few times. Since he has benefited a lot, he should regard it as a master, and he will not lose himself.
restaurant.
When the time passed, the morning sun had not yet risen, and it first dyed the sky in the east. Zhang Xia closed his eyes and was still drawing Qi into his body, refining his inner alchemy layer by layer.The Qingshuang sword beside him exudes a faint cyan aura, which slowly merges with the golden aura emanating from the person on the bed.
It wasn't until the inner alchemy loosened a little more that Zhang Xia opened his eyes and stood up with a happy face. After one night's effort, he broke through to the late fusion stage, only one step away from the golden alchemy stage.
It seems that you can't build a car behind closed doors. There is a difference between having a master and not having a master. The results of this night are even better than the past half a year of cultivation.She even wondered if she was extremely talented, and she made rapid progress under the guidance of others. In this way, entering the golden elixir stage is just around the corner.
"Huh?" Li Qingming hummed in confusion after waking up, and then probed into her inner alchemy. Why did she change from the early golden core stage to the middle stage? She opened her eyes and looked at the other person in the room. Confused in one piece.
"Qingming, you're awake, I just have something to ask you." Zhang Xia smiled and was still immersed in the joy of breaking through, even her tone was much lighter than usual.
"What's the matter?" Li Qingming couldn't figure it out, so she assumed that she was practicing at night, and she couldn't remember because she was drunk. Fortunately, it was a good thing, so she didn't worry about it anymore.
"Among your disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, is there one named Luo Tianji?" Zhang Xia thought of the cheap master he recognized last night, the Golden Core Sword Cultivator should not be unknown.
"He is one of the five Golden Core Stage disciples, and he is also the highest among the five of us. He is a sword cultivator in the late Golden Core Stage. He is currently the elder Xi of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He is about seventy years old. He lives in seclusion and wears a mask all the time. No one sees him." It's true." Li Qingming frowned and thought about it, and told him what he knew.
Lu Teng, who just came over at this time, stood in front of the door and opened his mouth wide: "What did I hear, Miss Li, it's the first time you've said so many words, and it's too... so surprising." With a frown, Zhang Xia also said that people have autistic tendencies, why doesn't he think it's not like it, it's clearly a difference, okay, it's really only for them that they are not good at words.
Zhang Xia was also a little surprised, but she quickly put away her surprise, and then said with encouragement: "Qingming understands it in detail, and it can just explain my doubts."
"Yeah." Li Qingming was stunned by Lu Teng's words, and was comforted by Zhang Xia's words. She pursed her lips slightly, raised her eyes and smiled lightly, her eyes were brighter than the morning sun, clear and bright.
"Is Lynn awake yet?" Zhang Xia shifted his gaze unnaturally, and changed the subject in a serious manner.
"That boy, I came to you to talk about him. I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and I left a letter like others, and left without saying goodbye." Lu Teng took out a letter he found, and he had already read the contents of it. But, how should I put it, no one can keep calm.
He had never had such an experience, but he could also imagine that witnessing his father committing crimes outside was a bit of a blow to a good-natured boy.
Zhang Xia took it and read it with Li Qingming. The meaning of the letter was roughly: I'm sorry, something urgent happened to my family.
"Since brother Lin has already gone back, Qingming and I have to go back to the guild to hand in quests, you young master should also go back and work hard." Zhang Xia thought of the two baskets of snow spirit fish in the storage bag, and would never go to the guild again, No amount of spiritual power she has is enough for these fish to eat.
"Forget it, young master, I won't stay anymore." Lu Teng held the door, sighed in disinterest, and then bid farewell and left.
In the task guild, after Zhang Xia and Li Qingming came back to do business, they found that the Elder of Medicine Sect who attacked them with Lin Tang was right in front of the guild.
At this time, Lin Zhi had removed his disguise, and he was dressed in heavy elder clothes, which made him look like a master of Taoism. When he saw Zhang Xia and Li Qingming, he pretended not to see Zhang Xia and Li Qingming, and he still waited outside the door , I couldn't hide the anxiety in my eyes, as if I was waiting for someone.
"Let's go." Zhang Xia was not stupid, so she also pretended not to know, not to mention that the mission guild was unclear about whether they would stand on their side, and the Medicine Sect was not something they could provoke.
"En." Li Qingming nodded, and then followed Zhang Xia into the hall, and then sat there in twos and threes with everyone, pretending to check the mission, but actually observing the door carefully.
About a quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe appeared. Lin Zhi saluted the man with great respect, and then hurriedly walked towards the steward's yard together.
The two of them looked at each other and were silent for a moment, Qiqi followed, and when they were about to follow into the yard, they were stopped by the people who had been waiting here earlier.
"Yo, the two of you have finished the task, the efficiency is really fast." Wu Yan went out from the courtyard gate, as if she was specially waiting for them, her eyes circled around the two of them meaningfully, It doesn't look like much is going on, but something is different.
He raised his eyebrows, caught a few snow spirit fish for a day and a night, and followed a Jindan stage sword cultivator, if he said he was not lazy, no one would believe it.
"Boss Wu, we just have something to do with you." The corners of Zhang Xia's mouth raised slightly, and he quickly thought of an excuse in his mind to explain why they appeared here for no reason.
"Oh? What's the matter? Wu Yan went to ask casually, thinking that I don't know what you are here for. If I hadn't been waiting here, I would have let you quietly chase me in without even looking at my own strength. , the one inside is in the Nascent Soul stage, and his spiritual consciousness is nearly [-] meters away.
When you follow in, you will be discovered within three steps, young man, you are really reckless.He thinks how much older he is, and he feels a lot of emotion at this moment, it's still his grandfather who counts correctly.
"We met a senior during this trip, Luo Tianji, the elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but for some reason he insisted on forcibly accepting me as a disciple. I don't know how deep this person is, so I had no choice but to agree, but when I came back, I felt it was inappropriate. Thinking that Manager Wu is well-informed and might be able to know the intentions of that senior, that's why he came here."
Zhang Xia was still trying to find an excuse, but looking at Wu Yanqu's eyes, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of someone, so she tried it half-truth, and the result obviously did not disappoint her.
"This... I don't know why, senior Luo is highly respected, it should be because you are surprised by your bones." Wu Yan went to finish speaking dryly, her eyes no longer teased, but drifted away.
"Since the manager can't figure it out, let's go back to the district and think about it for ourselves." Zhang Xia turned around, with the corners of her mouth lightly raised. She comes from modern times, so she is naturally not so straightforward when she sees problems, and she is used to brainstorming.
Just now, after seeing Wu Yanqu's eyes and chin that looked like a replica of Luo Tianji, she made up the national teacher of the Wu clan and the unknown imperial doctor in the palace in her mind. These people always treat people like fools, thinking that by changing their vest and wearing a trumpet, they will be able to hide the truth. I don't know who is naive and doesn't know it.
"That's the master of the Medicine Sect. Brother Lin and the Medicine Sect have a very close relationship." Li Qingming once met Lin Zisang, the Nascent Soul Medicine Master who was said to have founded the Medicine Sect by himself. Although it has been a long time, but He could vaguely recognize the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
"Lin Zisang? Lin Tang? Maybe it's not just a simple relationship, but walls have ears. Let's talk about it when we go back." Zhang Xia's face darkened, thinking of the moment just now, is there such a coincidence in the world?
Wu Yan went to see the two of them walking away, then she turned around and closed the door, but she just waited in the courtyard in an orderly manner, and did not approach the inside.He thought of Zhang Xia's words, and felt bad for a while, feeling that his seniority was lowered again.
In the room, apart from Lin Tang who was lying on the bed screaming in pain, and the later Suzerain Lin Zisang, Lin Zhi was kneeling on the ground.
"I asked you to fully assist Tang'er in dealing with Tianjianzong's affairs. Is this how you assist?" With a wave of Lin Zisang's hand, the kneeling person shook, bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, but still kneeling upright, his face Full of shame, without the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
"This subordinate is guilty, this subordinate deserves to die, suzerain calm down, show the second young master quickly." Lin Zhi kowtowed twice to the ground as he spoke, the skin on his forehead was worn out and he didn't know it.
"You don't need to look at it. Tang'er will never have the chance to be a father in this life. You have disappointed me so much. From now on, let your son do his filial piety." Lin Zisang casually announced his decision, and then waited for Lin Zisang Chi's answer.
"Don't worry, the suzerain, I will let En'er serve the second young master well, and I will serve the second young master well in this life, to repay your great kindness." Lin Zhi kowtowed again, he was no one The street beggar who cares about money, if Lin Zisang hadn't rescued him from the sea of misery, there would be no him at this time, nor would there be the distinguished elder Lin Zhi of the Medicine Sect.
"Father, I don't want him to serve you. I want to go back to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I want Li Qingming." Lin Tang got comforted and felt no more pain in his body. He got off the bed and hugged Lin Zisang's leg with strange eyes. .
It was all caused by that woman. He wants to go back and let Li Xianzhi send his daughter to his bed with his own hands. If he can't be a man, let Li Qingming repay the debt he owed.
"Tang'er, don't be willful. Follow me back to the Medicine School. No one will know what happened to you outside. Your elder brother and I will protect you." Lin Zisang's eyes flashed a little shaken, he seemed to have misjudged this son, At this time, he can still grit his teeth and persist, and it is not in vain for so many years of cultivation.
"The great cause has not been accomplished, how can I give up halfway, and the son became what he is now, it is all caused by that woman, I want Li Qingming to live in such pain for the rest of his life, I am not reconciled, I beg my father to make it happen."
Lin Tang hugged Lin Zisang's leg, knelt on the ground and begged, and then looked at Lin Zhi coldly, this trash, his good son is also involved in this matter, and when the matter is over, none of them can escape.
Lin Zhi felt cold after being stared at. He was grateful to Lin Zisang. It can be said that he respected and feared this second young master. This son was more ruthless and cunning than anyone he had ever met. .
"Tang'er, I'm so sorry, father shouldn't have put such a heavy burden on your shoulders, follow me back, let's end the matter of Tianjianzong." Lin Zisang closed his eyes, his face full of pain.
"No, I want to go back to Tianjianzong. I want to become a Taoist couple with that woman Li Qingming. Father, help me, help me. If you don't agree, I won't get up." Lin Tang knelt on the ground, his eyes widened. The obsession brought out a trace of blood, and he was almost insane, if he didn't agree, he might have to kneel for the rest of his life.
After a long silence, Lin Zisang sighed and sighed, as if he was struggling in his heart: "Forget it, Lin Zhi, I will give you another chance to redeem your sins, if Tang'er hurts even the slightest bit, you can end it yourself. "
"Don't worry, the suzerain, even if this subordinate puts their lives to the test, they will protect the second young master well." Lin Zhi practiced kowtowing, as if he didn't feel any pain, until Lin Zisang left the place, he still knelt on the ground and didn't get up.
"Since father gave you a chance to redeem your sins, I will also give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Your precious son is close to Li Qingming and the others. Find a way to make use of it. Don't waste such a good chess piece." Lin Tang After gritting his teeth, he finished these few words, pushed open the door, and flew back to the Heavenly Sword Sect without looking at the person kneeling on the ground.
Li Qingming, since you refuse to obey me, then I will pay all the retribution to your father and your second uncle. Then I will see how you have the face to be happy outside.
Zhang Xia watched Lin Zisang, Lin Tang, and Lin Zhi leave one after another before returning to her room. She took out the jade token and sent a message to Lu Teng.
"How many sons does Lin Zisang of the Medicine Sect have? What are the details? I suspect that the relationship between Lin Tang and this Sect Master Lin is not simple, and things may be close."
The autumn mountains were rustling, the autumn wind was rustling, and at midnight, Lu Teng's investigation came to fruition.Lin Zisang, the patriarch of the Medicine Sect, has two sons. The eldest son, Lin Guanren, is a Sword Cultivator at the Jindan Stage, addicted to cultivation and ignoring the sect's affairs.The second son, Lin Guantang, has been weak and sick since he was a child, and has been in seclusion for cultivation. His cultivation is unknown, and no one has seen his face.
"Lin Guantang, if you want me to say that he is Lin Tang, brother Lu, what do you think?" Zhang Xia was thoughtful, but the difference was only a word. If we talk about coincidences, this incident is not as simple as a coincidence. But what's wrong with these people, can't they change their vests completely?At least a symbolic change to a name that is not easily reminiscent, is too underestimating the IQ of others.
"The hero sees the same thing. I guess Miss Li's father must not know that his good apprentice is a member of the Medicine Sect. Do you think we should be a favor and wipe his eyes for him to see him clearly?" Lu Teng held an empty wine jug in his hand, and when he returned to the Zongmen, he was under the supervision of his mothers, so he could only hold an empty wine bottle and paint cakes to satisfy his hunger.
"Unless there is real evidence, if we do this, we will not only startle the snake, but also be easily bitten by the snake. After all, to Qingming's father, Lin Tang is more reliable than us." Lin Tang's camouflage, if the snake is bitten instead of hitting the snake, the gain will outweigh the loss. They need a chance, a chance to hit the snake seven inches.
"We can't be trusted. Li Qingming's daughter can be trusted. Let her say it. Sect Master Li can believe it." Lu Teng couldn't wait to tear off Lin Tang's disguise, and dared to put on a trumpet to make trouble again and again. The young master can't make you happy either.
"Father believes in Senior Brother Lin." A sentence of inaudible emotion was inserted next to it, and Lu Teng's hand slipped in shock, and the flagon pot that was used as a pancake fell out of his hand, turning into a pile of celadon pieces.
