Immortal Sword Master

Autumn breeze blows.

On the endless golden grassland, countless weeds are like a lion's mane, and ripples appear layer by layer with the wind from time to time.

The mountains in the distance are undulating, continuous, gray-black.

Between the barren grassland and the mountains is a transitional area that gradually changes from yellow to black. One person rode a brown-red steed, slowly stepping forward on the weeds of the grassland.

The sound of dede's hooves kept ringing. The man on the horse was dressed in white and carried a black long sword. He looked about thirty, with a mustache on his lips, which seemed solemn and solemn.

After passing this grassland, you will enter the territory of Yuefu...

The person on the horseback was Lin Xin who had just left the sect. He didn't bring any entourage, but was alone, riding a horse with a pack of dry food and water. When he was resting on the road these days, he began to think about the newly acquired formation. The materials needed for the formation are only part of the sect, and some of them need to be searched separately. For this reason, he had to leave alone, planning to stop by the black market on the way back to buy some needed materials.

To the left is the direction of the black market. You have to speed up. He took out a disguise mask from his arms, which was obtained from killing people in the trial cave. After so many years, he is still using it, and it is very practical. Many times he is Relying on this mask and hiding the magic circle, this is the only way to safely enter and leave the black market without being identified.

As he rode his horse forward, he was about to turn his horse's head and turn left, when he suddenly saw a black-robed Taoist standing in the wild grass half a person's height in front of him. complexion.

Nephew Lin, don't come here without any harm. The Taoist had a ferocious scar on his face, like a centipede crawling on his left cheek, looking at Lin Xin with a hint of murderous intent.

Lin Xin's heart trembled.

It turned out to be Brother Huang Songzi. After he was promoted to a formal disciple. Huang Songzi, who is also an official disciple, can naturally be replaced by Senior Brother.

Senior brother is standing here alone, didn't he come here specially to wait for me? He looked around, but didn't see anyone else.

I haven't seen Huang Songzi for many years. I heard that I just came back from Zhenmoya a while ago and was injured and recuperated in the sect. I didn't expect it to be so long before I ran to find myself. The injury on his face was obviously serious.

Lin Xin didn't believe that the other party came here to hang out because he was bored and had nothing to do.

Huang Songzi grinned.

I didn't expect to see you for so many years. Martial nephew...oh no, junior brother, your cultivation has become more and more superb, and you are still on the seventh floor.

Brother, you can speak directly if you have something to say. Lin Xin said indifferently. The opponent is a master who has at least eighth level of Qi training, and if they really want to fight, he is not an opponent. But he didn't believe that the other party would just do it.

Ponderosa pine nuts hehe twice.

Junior brother is refreshing enough. He walked up to him slowly. I heard that my junior brother is superb in formation, talisman, and Taoism. He built his own Lingxin Villa. Every year, he can provide hundreds of clear talisman swords for the sect, which has saved a lot of unnecessary losses for the sect. Therefore, the elders of the sect have ordered me to do this here. Waiting for Junior Brother.

What are you waiting for me to do? Lin Xin's heart sank slightly.

Of course it's a matter of discussing how to increase the production of talisman swords. Huang Songzi smiled, In these years, Lingxin Villa is rich, not only has spare energy to enshrine the sect, but also has spare energy to support the disciples sent to the sect. See Get up. Junior brother’s output can still be mentioned again.”

Lin Xin looked at the other party.

The production of rune swords has reached the limit, and there is nothing I can do about it. I dare not lie about this.

It doesn't matter. Huang Songzi smiled, The elder of the Zongmen asked me to tell you that he can provide auxiliary craftsmen and talisman makers, as well as raw materials. Wait, the younger brother provides the talisman sword for the Zongmen by himself. The elder said that for the sake of the stability of the sect, he is willing to help you, junior brother, increase your production free of charge.

Oh? Lin Xin's heart sank, knowing what the other party meant. The elder is so worried about the sect, my junior admires him.

Of course, as an elder, some things may not matter, but I, this junior, want to fight for it. I mean, in the future, it is best to supply my elders with the talisman swords of the villa. As for the price, it is naturally not I will treat you badly. Huang Songzi immediately showed his meaning when he saw it poorly.

Lin Xin's eyes turned slightly cold.

This is to monopolize the talisman sword business in his villa, the price? One sentence will not treat you badly, who will believe such words, and when the time comes to offer a price that is barely lower than it can be, who can he talk to?

The business of Fujian is also a part of my elders. I can't be the master of this matter alone, and I need to ask for instructions. The first thing Lin Xin thought of was Mother-in-law Yu. The last generous gift was given to Granny Yu as compensation for her protection of the talisman sword business in the villa. The villa has been fine for so many years because Granny Yu is the backing.

Now that the yellow pine nuts popped up suddenly, they dared to intervene in the talisman sword business in person. This group of people opened their mouths to send some materials and manpower, hoping to get free from his hard work in making talismans.

How much is the material worth?

Lin Xin sneered, but she was more worried about her mother-in-law.

You don't need to ask for instructions. A few days ago, mother-in-law Yu fought against the elders of the Suzaku Holy Court at Zhenmoya, and unfortunately both died... Huang Songzi sighed, showing a look of sadness. But he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

Grandma Yu...is dead?! Lin Xin never expected that Granny Yu in the Foundation Establishment Stage would die! Impossible! He raised his voice, and his breath became a little unnatural.

Grandma Yu is a master of foundation building, how could it be so easy...

That's the truth. I was there at the time and saw with my own eyes the two elders of the holy court attacking back and forth. In order to cover everyone's departure, Elder Yu tried his best to delay... Huang Songzi also let out a long sigh when he said this.

Okay, Junior Brother Lin, I won't gossip with you anymore. Let's tell the truth. If Elder Yu hadn't blocked you in the past about the intentional reduction of the output of your villa, someone would have made trouble. Now With the passing of elder Yu, the meaning of the sect is that you must increase production.

Lin Xin was silent. Ponderosa pine nuts are directly tearing the skin off.

One thousand talisman swords must be handed over to the sect every year. In addition, the income from your talisman swords will be 80% for the sect! Huang Songzi said indifferently.

Eighty percent!? Lin Xin narrowed his eyes even more. Brother, are you sure you're not joking?

This is not a joke, nor is it a request or discussion. This is an order. Huang Songzi's face also became calm. I've earned you so much money for so long, I should be content. The sect has trained you for so long, and it's time for you to pay back.

Lin Xin smiled angrily.

Brother, you are making things difficult for others...

Originally, Zongmen meant to let you stay at the headquarters and concentrate on refining talisman swords for Zongmen. But only after my elders fought for you can you get the chance to stay in Lingxin Villa. Otherwise, they originally planned to change Going to Lingxin Villa alone as a suppressor. Huang Songzi said slowly, You understand what I mean?

Lin Xin took a deep breath. He knew that if he didn't agree, not only the villa would change owners. Even he himself will be forced by the Zongmen to stay in the headquarters, reduced to a talisman craftsman who specializes in making talisman swords, and may even not be allowed to leave the Zongmen for the rest of his life.

He also knows the experience of those talisman makers, the more precious talisman makers. The more closely it is controlled and monitored.

I understand... He tried his best to suppress the anger and killing intent in his heart, he knew that he had to fight, let alone whether he could beat yellow pine nuts. Even if he is killed, there will be more and stronger masters behind the Zongmen's senior management. He can leave, but the villa can't, parents can't, Lingling can't... and his good friends and brothers. also can not.

Junior Brother is a smart man... Huang Songzi said with satisfaction, You don't have to worry about me getting a cut of it, and someone else will contact you later. Just talk to him in detail at that time.

Lin Xin clenched his fists and nodded slowly.

Huang Songzi raised his hand and threw him something.

This is a talisman that only I have. From now on, you will be the deacon of my sword hall. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, my teacher will not treat you badly.

Lin Xin could only reluctantly say yes. After catching the command, he had roughly guessed who was behind the yellow pine nut.

Obviously, the other party dared to threaten him so blatantly, and already had an absolute advantage in the sect.

Senior brother! Suddenly he called to Huang Songzi who was about to leave.

Senior brother, is there anything else? After completing the task, Huang Songzi turned around and said with a good attitude.

Elder Yu...I remember that she still has family members, how is the situation now? Lin Xin asked in a deep voice.

After the incident, the family members of Elder Yu also suffered misfortune. Demonic people sneaked in secretly, killed 23 people in a row, and then burned down the house completely. Alas... the elders of my sect went to By then, it was already a step too late...it's a pity... Although he spoke regretfully, there was a trace of austerity in his tone, which made Lin Xin's heart sink.

What kind of demons and monsters, what sneaking in secretly, everything is an excuse!

This is the great cleansing of the sect, and this is what happens to the rebels! This is a naked demonstration against him!

Junior, do you have anything else to ask? Huang Songzi stared at Lin Xin.

No more... Brother, walk slowly. Lin Xin tried his best to keep his voice calm.

That's good, let's go, Junior Brother. Huang Songzi laughed, turned and left.

Lin Xin rode on the horse and watched him leave quietly. Until it completely disappears at the end of the field of vision.

drive!

He slapped the horse's butt suddenly, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the direction of Yu's mother-in-law's family.

*******************

After a few days.

Song Wansong City.

A large mansion on the outskirts of the city had been burned into charred ruins, and the surrounding area was deserted, not even a funeral attendant.

Lin Xin led the horse and walked alone in the coke-like courtyard. The originally gorgeous and spacious garden courtyard was now full of traces of the raging fire. The ground was scorched black.

There were still some charred clothes and black ash inside, and all the corpses were gone, obviously they had been disposed of long ago.

Lin Xin held back his grief and walked in the yard, trying to find traces of the murderer. But after turning around, I couldn't find any problems. The other party did it too cleanly.

After leaving the Yu mansion, he looked up and saw that the bustling people passing by on the street were still living as usual, as if the fire in this yard hadn't affected them in the slightest.

After finding nothing, he led the horse, bought some dry food and water, and slowly left the city.

Along the carriageway out of the city, he raised his eyes and looked at the endless wild grassland around him, feeling extremely empty in his heart. Granny Yu always thought that she was a very strict teacher to him. Even if he lost his potential later, she didn't completely ignore him, but still took care of the villa. After so many years, he also knew that Granny Yu was not the kind of person who valued money It wasn't because he gave him a big gift every year to protect him from the wind and rain, but I didn't expect that she passed away so soon after she went out last time.

As he was walking, he suddenly bumped into a disheveled little beggar from the side.

My lord, do me a favor and give me something to eat.

The little beggar stared at Lin Xin with a pair of bright eyes, holding a broken tile bowl in his hand.

Lin Xin threw out some copper coins and was about to leave when suddenly he saw that the little beggar's clothes were completely different from the rags outside.

He swept across the little beggar's neck again. Although it was dirty, he could vaguely see a trace of whiteness and delicateness.

Okay, okay, hurry up, I'm not in the mood to pay attention to you. His heart tensed, and he pretended to wave his hand impatiently.

The little beggar's eye circles were a little red, but he still tried his best to hold back, blinked, and ran away quickly.

Lin Xin led the horse and walked forward for a certain distance. He felt that there was no faint sight on his body. He tied the horse to the side of the road casually, picked up the pack and hurried back.

Soon, at a corner outside the city wall of Wansong City, he found the little beggar who was begging just now.

Uncle! Seeing him, the little beggar finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw himself into his arms and burst into tears.

You are Xiaodou?! Lin Xin was a little puzzled at first by hearing the voice, but now he is more sure that this little beggar is the surviving child of the Yu family. (to be continued ~^~)
