According to Einstein's theory of relativity, 1 minute sitting by the stove feels like an hour, while an hour sitting next to a beautiful woman feels like 1 minute. When Lin Xiu came back to his senses, there was indeed little time left for the next Zongmen mission.

After completing the retreat with the achievements of the past two months, Lin Xiu first returned to the station to rest for a day, and then slowly moved towards the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Looking around, I didn't find any trace of that Senior Brother Zhao. Out of curiosity, I asked the other Junior Sister who replaced me—God, I finally met someone with a lower cultivation level than myself, and I only found out after the latter's explanation. That Senior Brother Zhao had received the task of guarding the Zongmen's mine two months ago, and he would not be able to return within three to five years.

Lin Xiu couldn't help being dumbfounded. It's not hard to guess what this senior brother Zhao thinks. It's nothing more than fear of being blackmailed by Lin Xiu again and again. After all, there is no way for anyone to witness the contract for this kind of thing. If Lin Xiu comes to the door again , unless he is at the risk of being expelled from the division, he still has to be slaughtered honestly.

In order to avoid this kind of situation, it is a good strategy to run away directly, that is, other places are far inferior to the sect's location in terms of the richness of aura and various resources for cultivation... For a monk , the lesson is big enough.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiu didn't pay any attention to it anymore. After all, everyone should bear the consequences of their own choices, and his most urgent task is the next sect mission.

"Brother, do you want a task with a longer time limit?"

Facing the expectant eyes of the junior sister from the Foreign Affairs Hall, Lin Xiu shook his head vigorously: "No, ordinary things will do."

"Is that so..."

Probably encountered the same situation as Zhao Siming, and the junior sister who had accumulated a lot of troublesome tasks in her hands was disappointed when she heard this, but she still introduced many tasks to Lin Xiu in detail with the idea of ​​conscientiousness.

Listening to the introduction of the younger sister again and again, Lin Xiu was also thinking about what he was going to do in the bottom of his heart.

First of all, after learning the lessons of Xin Guo and his party, it is impossible to accept the task of being far away from the sect. After all, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what happens. Moreover, the barrier from the fifth level of Qi training to the sixth level of Qi training has been broken through , Lin Xiu does not need to look for such long-term tasks before he officially enters the peak of the sixth level of Qi training and intends to sprint to the later stage of Qi training, just follow the steps first.

After comprehensive consideration, Lin Xiu finally chose a mission within the territory of Chongguo - almost close to the side of the Zongmen, so that there will be no evil cultivators haunting it, right?

As for the content of the task, it is to lead the registered disciples of the sect in a town in Chongguo back to the mountain to participate in the test.

Hearing this, Lin Xiu couldn't help being taken aback: "Test?"

"Yes, brother, have you forgotten? This year is the opening ceremony of the sect every three years."

Under the reminder of his junior sister from the Foreign Affairs Hall, Lin Xiucai noticed that this was already the sixth year since he entered He Guizong, and it was also the third year after he chose to become a foreign affairs disciple.

Looking back, it seems that a lot happened in the past three years and nothing happened. Only the spiritual power deposited in the body proves that everything is not false.

When my mind turned around, I suddenly heard a casual sentence from my junior sister: "Speaking of it, the brother seems to be from Chongguo, right? At that time, he was also brought by other senior brothers from Yuanyang City of Chongguo. This mission just happens to be able to pay a return visit."

Lin Xiu didn't listen too carefully to the following words, but simply dealt with it and then led the task away.

——The fetters of the original body, this problem that Lin Xiu has been deliberately ignoring since time travel is also time to solve.

Six years may be nothing more than a few retreats for a cultivator, but for ordinary people, it has already occupied a large part of their life. No matter how clear the memory is, it will fade away in the passing of time. Even now, Lin Xiu appears in front of the relatives of the original owner of the body with a "big personality change" posture, and can also cover up the past with excuses such as "the environment and contact tasks have changed".

Also considering this aspect, Lin Xiu did not refuse this task in the Foreign Affairs Hall just now. After all, some things cannot be avoided blindly, even if it is just for the sake of occupying this body, he is obliged to do these things .

Thinking of this, Lin Xiu didn't wait any longer. Instead, he returned to the station to pack up his things, packed lightly, and set off again towards the boundary of Chongguo, which he had already visited once.

39. Ying & Keqing: I gradually understand everything.jpg

Chongguo is located in the east of the Nanling Mountains, separated from the gate of Heguizong by a not-so-wide mountain range. It can be regarded as one of the closest sects to Heguizong. Of course, it is also the most protected and intimidated by the sect. One of the strongest nations.

However, a quarter of the disciples who depart from Heguizong have to pass through the Chongguo territory, and there are also quite a few of those disciples who walk on the ground and fly in the sky, as well as those miscellaneous disciples who were dismissed by the sect because they were unqualified. I will choose to find a place nearby to settle the matter for the future.

A combination of various factors has made Chongguo almost the most stable area in the entire Xinan Territory. Not to mention the evil cultivators, even if a group of bandits emerge within two days, they will be killed by a "young hero" passing by. "Let the hero fight for justice."

Under such circumstances, Lin Xiu’s journey to Chongguo did not have any accidents or unusual events. After all, he had been a foreign affairs disciple for three years. Outside of this unscientific group of readers, the world is in a feudal era with backward productivity. It is simply unrealistic to expect a "big news" every few days like the last world.

Relying on the sixth level of Qi training, Lin Xiu arrived at the target town in less than three days.

The boundary of Yuanyang City is not close to He Guizong's side, but relatively close to the west. Although there are also traces of immortal cultivators, they are obviously much rarer, and all of them are intimidated by the existence of He Guizong's incognito.

It was easy for Lin Xiu, who was dressed as a martial artist, to sneak in. It was less than two years since the "immortal accepting disciples" incident. Some martial arts people still hoped that another immortal would hold a martial arts conference to accept apprentices. The flow of martial arts people in the country has become much more common. If it weren't for the suppression of a hegemony-level sect above, there would have been a lot of troubles with these "heroes" who have nothing to do with production.

Relying on the information provided by the Foreign Affairs Hall, Lin Xiu who entered Yuanyang City soon found a place called "Tianhe Academy".

In order to avoid causing disturbances in the mortal world, the sect's station in the mortal world is usually set up in the form of a school, and some handyman disciples who have received the task will surround the school to find qualified and under the age of the school. Children of a certain age send out invitations, and after inspecting for a certain period of time to confirm that they are suitable for making, these children are eligible to call themselves He Guizong's registered disciples.

Unlike mortals who have no access to the world of cultivating immortals, as long as they become registered disciples of He Guizong, they are entitled to know part of the truth, and most importantly: when will they participate in He Guizong's initiation ceremony.

After the three-year introductory ceremony is held, the outer disciples will go down the mountain and bring these named disciples into the mountain gate to participate in the ceremony. Those who can pass the ceremony will be divided into outer disciples or handyman disciples according to their spiritual root qualifications, and those who cannot pass will be After erasing part of the memory, he was brought back to Chongguo for dismissal.

In the past, Lin Xiu was able to enter He Guizong in this way, but six years passed in a blink of an eye, and things changed... Now he has changed from a ignorant rookie who was brought along to a barely capable man. Qualified to lead the rookie's old age.

When Lin Xiu found the academy, the person on duty was an outer sect disciple with a five-level qi training. After Lin Xiu let go of his spiritual pressure for a while and showed his identity certificate from the Foreign Affairs Hall, he welcomed him and sent him directly to the school. The situation of the entire Tianhe Academy was fully revealed, and there was a tendency to regard Lin Xiu as a "receiver" and run away. Lin Xiu hurriedly persuaded the other party, telling him that another outer disciple had received the task of stationing the academy and would soon take over. Finally, the junior brother let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu became a little curious. After all, no matter whether it was the fifth level of Qi training or the status of an outer disciple of He Guizong, any one of them could make him flourish here. Like running away?

After hearing Lin Xiu's question, the junior brother Mo also explained with a wry smile: "Brother, you don't know that life in this world seems to be very beautiful, but it can only end up in the eyes of ordinary people. Not to mention, there is no aura for cultivation and fellow Taoist masters who have no communication. Even if they have been practicing hard all day long, it is already a fluke to be able to maintain their original cultivation level. In order to practice a spell, I owe a lot of spirit stones, and my junior brother will not come to this place to waste these three years."

"I see."

Lin Xiu nodded clearly, once again realizing the huge difference between Zongmen cultivators and casual cultivators.

As a disciple who can be included in the mountain gate by the overlord He Guizong, even if there may be some aliens among them, the mainstream is definitely the kind of existence with a firm heart, and he will not be easily attracted by the temptations of the world like those casual cultivators As a result, cultivation was wasted.

Judging from the situation of this junior brother Mo, if it were a casual cultivator in such a situation, someone would give him whatever he wanted. After three years, he would have been too happy to think about leaving, and he would not even consider going back to the Zongmen to practice hard.

Looking at it this way, it seems understandable that the evil cultivator from Wushen Peak at that time valued himself, a disciple of the Hegui Sect, so much?

Cultivation, spells and magic tools are just one aspect, and the other is the will and determination that will not be easily shaken by foreign objects...

After thinking about it, Lin Xiu made sure that the students in Tianhe Academy were all normal and would be able to leave and return to the mountain gate in a week, and then asked about another important point of his itinerary.

"Brother's hometown?"

Junior Brother Mo looked surprised: "Could it be that senior brother came from Tianhe Academy?"

After seeing Lin Xiu nodding his head, Junior Brother Mo didn't suspect anything else, but slapped his head and led Lin Xiu to the backyard, and said to a large pile of classics and texts piled up in the bookstore: "There are usually only sect disciples here. It is only possible to enter and leave, so there is no risk of losing the documents, if there is any record of the brother's hometown, it is only here."

After Lin Xiu thanked, Junior Brother Mo quickly waved his hands to say no, then took his leave and left, leaving Lin Xiu in a daze staring at the paperwork in the room.

"It's a good thing I'm not really alone."

After Junior Brother Mo walked away, Lin Xiu took out two "things" from the Qiankun bag, and pinched them with one hand, and the spiritual power in his body quickly surged towards the two "things".

"My name is Keqing, Liyue's—"

"There's still a lot to do—"

"Stop!"

Facing the two girls who said the "opening remarks" with a blank face, Lin Xiu interrupted each other "indifferently" and pointed to the texts all over the room: "You guys really have a lot to do, the most important thing now is to help me Find a text record with my name on it."

——I gradually understood everything.jpg.

Looking at Ying and Keqing who finally understood the order and began to act, Lin Xiu couldn't help but stretch out his hands to hold his forehead, feeling that there was a long way to go...

40. Go all the way

Chongguo, Yuanyang City, Pingxi Town.

When the sky was slightly bright, the shopkeepers carried their burdens to the town's entrance to sell them. After a while, breakfast stalls with various steamed buns and cakes were set up one after another. With a loud cock crow, Pingxi Town ushered in the ordinary one day.

"Brother Sun, here are two pancakes."

"Hey, I've got it."

After receiving the steaming biscuits, Wang Ergou looked into the alley not far away while devouring them. Sun Dazhuang, who didn't sell sesame seed cakes, couldn't help laughing and cursing when he saw this scene: "Why, Ergou, haven't you Are you desperate?"

Swallowing the cooking cake in his mouth, Wang Ergou said in a calm tone, "Why are you so determined...I am sharing the worries of the master of the Lin family!"

"Return to the master of the Lin family. When did the Lin family produce a master?"

Faced with Sun Dazhuang's joking words, Wang Ergou was rather unhappy: "It's not the master who can get two members of the town to visit. Could it be that you, Sun Dazhuang, are the master?"

Sun Dazhuang's face suddenly changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly to deny: "I didn't say that, but it's strange to say that, the old Lin's family has lived in Pingxi Town for decades, and they are clear about who is going to and from the neighborhood on weekdays. Have you become Master Lin?"

After swallowing the last piece of biscuit, Wang Ergou wiped his mouth clean and curled his lips: "What kind of character is Master Lin? Well, do you understand that Jiren Ziyoutian understands it? From the first time I saw Master Lin, Wang Ergou I knew it must be a wealthy family, and it seems that Sun Dazhuang has been a hard worker all his life."

"Hey boy—"

"Trouble."

A slightly cold voice interrupted the conversation between the two: "May I ask if the 'Uncle Lin' you are talking about is Lin Shi from Pingxi Town?"

"Who are you, didn't you see that we are...in..."

Wang Ergou couldn't say the following words at all, not because of anything else, but because he saw the face of the inquirer.

This is a young girl, probably worried about causing some commotion, so she deliberately covered her face with a bamboo hat, and only a little purple hair scattered behind her back, but because she asked aloud, she opened a corner slightly, and it was through this corner Through the gap, Wang Ergou saw her face.

--Fairy.

Among all the vocabulary that Wang Ergou heard from the side of the school in the village, he could only find such a word that could be used to describe it. Only such a person who is said to exist above the nine heavens can have such a fairy appearance, right?

Perhaps it was because he was much older than Wang Ergou, although Sun Dazhuang was equally embarrassed, he still reacted quickly. The survival wisdom from Xiaomin made him notice some details while being shocked by the girl's face.

Her clothes are very fine, even the two members of the town have never seen such fine silk and satin, as if it is not made of cloth at all, and those who can afford this kind of clothes are either rich or expensive, plus A sword worn by a girl on her waist.

With a jolt, Sun Dazhuang hurriedly responded: "No, that's right, it's Mr. Lin Shilin. May I ask who is this fairy-woman?"

The "woman" who got the answer nodded slightly, pulled down the brim of her hat and turned to leave. Wang Ergou subconsciously reached out to grab something, but only heard a slight "cracking" sound, and then her fingertips went numb. The body couldn't help but froze in place.

"Two dogs!"

After being pulled by Sun Dazhuang, Wang Ergou came back to his senses, quickly put away his right hand, but found that there was no problem at all, as if the soft noise and numbness just now were just his own illusions.

The "girl" didn't pay any attention to the reaction of the two people behind. She just followed the instructions and walked towards the courtyard at the end of the alley. Go: "Please hand it over to Uncle Lin, just say..."

The cold words were interrupted abruptly for a moment, and then calmly continued: "A gift from relatives."

"Uh, ah—yes! Little one will go—"

After hurriedly taking the objects in the "girl"'s hand back to the yard, there was a burst of noise, and almost all the people in the yard rushed out, but it was not the purple-haired girl in the bamboo hat who greeted them, but It's an empty gate.

Not far away, looking at the crowd rushing out, especially the old man who couldn't hide his disappointment, Lin Xiu closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opened them again, there was only firmness in his eyes.

"Let's go, Keqing."

The girl in the bamboo hat who didn't know when she came back behind her nodded slightly, and followed Lin Xiu to leave this "homeland".
