This seat is a villain

Xue Yao read the "letter from home" sent by Xiao Pei at a glance.

Xiao Pei wrote a lot of nonsense in the letter, such as Xue Yao's cheap third brother taking concubines, "fourth aunt" Hong Xing cheating, and so on.But this eloquent parental short story was translated in the secret language of the Privy Council, but it said something else.

Xiao Pei said in the letter that the Privy Council was secretly paying attention to Guan Shanyu's news in accordance with Xue Yao's instructions.There are many rumors about Guan Shanyu in the Jianghu, but there are few valuable ones.After all, Guan Shanyu is an ancient sacred object, which has disappeared in the world for hundreds of years, and no one has ever seen it.However, the news about Guan Shanyu has been spreading all over the place recently, and it is rumored by all the great immortal sects that Guan Shanyu has already reappeared in Kyushu, and it is hidden in Jiutianmen.

Xue Yao also knew a thing or two about the origin of Guan Shanyu. The most widely circulated theory is that Guan Shanyu was transformed by a touch of divine consciousness from the god Lianshan, and those who got Guanshanyu could gain the divine power of Lianshan.With the blessing of Guan Shanyu, it means that the journey of immortality will be smooth from now on, and the Immortal Soul, which was originally out of reach, will be at your fingertips.

In Xue Yao's view, the various rumors of Guan Shanyu are no different from the ancient myths circulated in the market, but most people who practice Taoism believe in the legend of Guan Shanyu.Now that the ancient gods appear in the world, it is related to becoming a fairy and ascending to the Mahayana. In the future, the Kyushu will not be peaceful.

Xue Yao's gaze stayed for a moment on the sentence that was interpreted as "when to do it", and then he waved his hand expressionlessly and destroyed the letter.

He remembered that Zhai Xidong insisted that Guan Shanyu belonged to Lin Jinhuan earlier, is there any connection between the two?Is this legendary Guan Shanyu really hidden in the Nine Heavens Gate?

Xue Yao came to the desk and spread out his pen and ink, picked up a pen and wrote a short paragraph on the paper, such as "I am in good health recently, so I don't need to worry about it." In fact, the translated meaning is only one sentence: "The time is not yet ripe, and we should always keep an eye on the students of several sects." trend."

Xue Yao thought for a while, and added another sentence to the letter: "Don't act rashly."

At this time Lin Jinhuan knocked on the door, then pushed open the half-closed door and walked in.He saw Xue Yao writing furiously at the desk, so instead of stepping forward, he came to the round table and sat down.After sitting down, he casually asked, "Writing a letter from home?"

Xue Yao hummed without raising his head, and continued to write on the paper without changing his expression: The whereabouts of the captured people have not been found yet, and we need to continue to investigate.

Lin Jinhuan came to lead Xue Yao to Wuliangquan, which is located in the forbidden area of ​​Jiutianmen, and Xue Yao could not enter without Lin Jinhuan's leadership.Lin Jinhuan saw that Xue Yao's family writing was fascinating, so he didn't urge him.He casually picked up Xue Yao's half-read book on the table, took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy from the snack box on the table, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely while turning over: "Send my respects to your father Lingci for me. "

Xue Yao didn't want to talk to Lin Jinhuan at first, but for some reason, he accidentally wrote a sentence on the paper: Lin Jinhuan, his friend, asked his adoptive father well.

Xue Yao looked at the words on the letter paper, and fell into his own thoughts again.At this time, it has been more than four months since he met the escorting "sacrifice" team on the way up the mountain last time. In the past four months, he has secretly explored every corner of Jiutianmen, and even searched for the forbidden area. After a while, still nothing.

The small group of people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

According to the survey results of the Privy Council, Jiutianmen needs to sacrifice 15 lives every 3000 years.It is not easy to detain these [-] people in Jialou Mountain, and it is difficult to do it quietly.

Where will the Nine Heavens Gate hide people?

Xue Yao pondered secretly in his mind, and his eyes fell on Lin Jinhuan unconsciously.Lin Jinhuan was sitting at the table and flipping through a book leisurely. It was midsummer at this time, and the sun was just right. Lin Jinhuan's whole body fell in the bright sun, and it also fell into Xue Yao's eyes.

Xue Yao's heart was hot, but there was a cold voice in his mind saying to him: I have to find a chance to test Lin Jinhuan.

"What's the matter? Are you ready to go?" Seeing Xue Yao staring at him in a daze without saying a word, Lin Jinhuan put down the book in his hand, looked at Xue Yao suspiciously and asked.

Xue Yao blinked and regained consciousness.He grabbed Jun Xiang who was standing beside him, and put the written reply into the bamboo tube on the bird's leg.Xue Yao gently scratched Jun Xiang's neck, Jun Xiang raised his head and arched Xue Yao's palm, then flew away with flapping wings.

"Let's go." Xue Yao stood up and said.

When the two came to Wuliangquan, Jinyi had been waiting for a long time.After Xue Yao greeted Jin Yi, he quickly took off his shirt and jumped into the cold pool without hesitation.

Jin Yi watched Xue Yao dip into the ice-floored water neatly, and shuddered involuntarily.Wuliangquan is a cold pool on Jialou Mountain. It is located in a stone cave. The spring water freezes all the year round. Every time Xue Yao uses it, Lin Jinhuan has to order someone to break the thick layer of ice in advance.The nameless cave where the Wuliangquan is located is full of spiritual power, and it is also a blessed place for cultivation, but it is freezing and cold all year round in the cave, so no one can bear it.

"Stop staring blankly, move quickly." Lin Jinhuan frowned as he looked at the cold pool water.It was really too cold in this cave, even Lin Jinhuan with internal strength had to use his kung fu to keep out the cold, not to mention Xue Yao who was soaking in the water.

Jin Yi rolled her eyes towards the sky, and said pointedly: "What's the rush, the master who is seriously soaking in the water is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry."

"You two." Frost began to form on Xue Yao's face. He shook his frosty eyelashes and said helplessly, "I can suffer less if I save this trouble."

Lin Jinhuan turned his head away and stopped talking to Jinyi.Jin Yi stared at Lin Jinhuan relentlessly, but didn't hold back anymore.She took out a silver needle as thick as chopsticks from the medicine box, and pricked Xue Yao's ten fingers one by one.

Black blood dripped from Xue Yao's ten fingers. At first, it just fell sporadically on the snow-white ice, but soon it flowed faster and faster.The black blood trickled down, and in a short while it pooled into a small puddle of blood on the ice.

Seeing that the poisonous blood was almost drained, Jin Yi took out a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair from the box, and the silver needle stuck into Xue Yao's Fengchi acupoint without warning.

Although the silver needle is thin, its power cannot be underestimated.The moment the silver needle entered his body, Xue Yao's body suddenly fell back, and he hit the ice pile by the pool heavily, and let out an imperceptible muffled groan from his throat.

At this moment, Jin Yi has turned away from her usual playful female hooliganism. She supported Xue Yao by the back of the neck, turned her head and told Lin Jinhuan in a cold voice: "Lin Jinhuan, come here to protect the law."

Lin Jinhuan was a little distracted, he stared blankly at the ever-expanding blood on the ice, and didn't realize that he had been clenching his fists until Jinyi called out to him.Lin Jinhuan let go, withdrew his mind, and came behind Xue Yao silently.He put his true energy in the palm of his hand, brushed away Xue Yao's loose black hair, and gently put his palm on Xue Yao's back.

Xue Yao's body was frighteningly cold, but fortunately, the beating of Lin Jinhuan's heart could prove that he was alive.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Jinhuan asked.

Xue Yao didn't answer.

At this moment, another silver needle penetrated Xue Yao's Jianjing acupoint, perhaps because he had adapted to the sudden severe pain, Xue Yao's reaction this time was not as strong as before, his body trembled slightly and soon returned to calm.

Heartless as Jin Yi couldn't bear it, she said softly while administering the needle, "It hurts, bear with it."

The third needle pierced Xue Yao's Hunmen acupoint, and Xue Yao was in so much pain that he couldn't speak for a while, every tendon in his body was in severe pain at this moment, as if it was about to burst at any time.Xue Yao gritted his back molars, calmed down the tumbling internal breath, and then whispered out from his throat: "It's okay."

Just half an hour later, Jin Yi finished giving acupuncture.Xue Yao's forehead was still covered with fine sweat after soaking half of his body in the icy cold spring water.The blood on the ice has solidified, black and white are distinct, and it is particularly dazzling.

Xue Yao had to soak in this cold pool alone for another half an hour.Jin Yi first took care of the wound on Xue Yao's fingertips, and then said a few words of clichés such as "Calm your mind, don't arouse your true energy at will", and left first, rubbing her hands that were red with cold.

Although Jin Yi is usually careless, her medical skills are really superb.Not long after Jin Yi left, Xue Yao felt his whole body relax.Xue Yao is a typical character who forgot about the pain when his scars healed. When he got better, he hurriedly remembered that Lin Jinhuan quickly slapped him into the water.

"It's not time yet, just stay here." Lin Jinhuan sternly threw him a hot handkerchief, "Wipe the sweat off your forehead yourself."

Xue Yao had no choice but to continue soaking in the spring water. Perhaps he had survived the initial severe cold, and now he felt that it was not as cold as before.Xue Yao casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, sank his body into the water, turned around and lay down lazily by the pool, raised his chin and looked at Lin Jinhuan on the shore.

Lin Jinhuan glanced at Xue Yao's obedient behavior, as if he heard the crackling sound of the abacus in Xue Yao's stomach.

Sure enough, before Lin Jinhuan could stop thinking about it, Xue Yao asked bluntly, "What is Guan Shanyu?"

The frost on the eyelashes made Xue Yao's eyelids a little heavy, and he blinked with difficulty.

Lin Jinhuan glanced at Xue Yao, and saw that he was lying on the bank, holding his head and looking at him eagerly. Lin Jinhuan turned his gaze away again and said, "What are you asking nonsense, a layman? Doesn't your body hurt anymore?"

"It hurts, it hurts me to death." Xue Yao changed his position in the water, complaining seemingly genuinely.Then he pestered Lin Jinhuan and asked, "Tell me something interesting..."

Xue Yao thought to himself that this Lin Jinhuan has a delicate heart, and he can eat soft but not hard.I'm afraid it's useless to pretend to be crazy, foolish and stalking. Do I need another dose of strong medicine... But before the strong medicine could be administered, he saw an object flying towards his eyes, and Xue Yao quickly raised his hand to stop it. down.

Xue Yao received a jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was white and warm to the touch.

"Is this Guan Shanyu?" Xue Yao looked at the jade pendant in his hand and asked.

"Yes, very surprised?" Lin Jinhuan asked.

"It's a bit." Xue Yao raised Guan Shanyu to his eyes and looked at it carefully.There is not much carving on this jade, only a big hole has been punched in the jade, and a half-new red string is threaded through the hole.Although the jade is snow white as a whole, there are many impurities upon closer inspection, and the quality is so poor that Xue Yao can't bear to scrutinize it.If you don't know that it is the legendary Guanshan jade, no one will bend down to pick it up if it falls in the pile of stones.

"Why do you wear this with you? Do you also want to ascend to Taoism?" Xue Yao glanced at Guan Shanyu and felt that it was not very beautiful, so he threw the jade back to Lin Jinhuan.Xue Yao found that at this moment, he was more interested in whether Lin Jinhuan wanted to be promoted.

Lin Jinhuan raised his hand to take the jade pendant, put it in his arms casually, and said with a helpless smile: "Fourth brother really thinks highly of me, do I look like such a high-minded person?"

Xue Yao said nothing, just looked up at him.

Seeing that Xue Yao didn't intend to let go of this topic, Lin Jinhuan had no choice but to continue to explain: "I often had nightmares when I was a child, and my father asked me to calm me down."

"Nonsense." Xue Yao sneered, turned his back to Lin Jinhuan, leaned against the stone wall and teased, "What kind of nightmare must be suppressed by ancient gods."

"What can a person in the demonic way dream of? It's nothing more than becoming a demon on the ground, endangering the Taoist sect, killing and persecuting the common people in the world."

As Lin Jinhuan said, he came to Xue Yao and squatted down. He patted Xue Yao's head lightly, and said, "Move your head away, don't lie on the ice, and be careful of headaches."

Xue Yao actually didn't feel too cold when he came out of the Infinite Spring, but he couldn't hold back Lin Jinhuan, and finally put on a big cloak reluctantly.

As soon as the two of them walked onto the stone bridge, they saw Yan Qing hurriedly coming from the other side of the bridge.

"Little brother, where are you going?" Lin Jinhuan called Yan Qing from afar and asked loudly.

"Little ancestor, I have been looking for you for a long time." When Yan Qing saw Lin Jinhuan, he walked towards him quickly and said, "Follow me to the Liuxiang Palace. The sect master has something to look for you."

Seeing Yanqing's impatient look, Lin Jinhuan asked inexplicably, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You'll know when you're gone." Yan Qing pulled Lin Jinhuan past him and left. After walking two steps, he didn't forget to turn his head and cup his hands at Xue Yao, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xue."

After Lin Jinhuan was taken away by Yanqing, Xue Yao originally wanted to go back to the forbidden area to investigate carefully, but he had already passed the stone bridge and could not go back to the forbidden area, so he gave up and walked slowly back alone.

Xue Yao hadn't gone far when he heard a strange sound at the moat between the two peaks.Xue Yao stopped and mobilized his inner strength to listen carefully, but the sound was a woman's cry.

Xue Yao thought for a moment, then jumped to find the direction of the voice.

When Lin Jinhuan came to Liuxiang Palace, Lin Chao was painting before the case.After Yanqing sent Lin Jinhuan into the hall, he retreated outside the door.

"Here we come." Lin Chao was in a good mood today. He was wearing a black brocade robe and a golden crown on his head, like a young man in high spirits.

"What happened to cause such a big fight?" Seeing that Lin Chao still had time to paint, Lin Jinhuan felt relieved.He casually teased Lin Chao and said, "The head of the sect was kicked out by Mrs. Qin Chuqi again?"

Hearing this, Lin Chao straightened up in anger, tapped Lin Jinhuan's forehead across the air, and said angrily, "The brat is neither big nor young!"

Lin Jinhuan didn't take it seriously, and walked slowly to the desk to take a look.What Lin Chaozheng painted was an ink orchid.The painting of this flower is vigorous and powerful, and the ink rhyme is natural.It's just that the originally elegant and tranquil Mo Lan is a little aggressive in his painting, appearing domineering.

Lin Chao put the brush in his hand into the white jade pen to wash, took two steps back, shook his head and admired it, and then asked Lin Jinhuan, "How is it?"

Lin Jinhuan also squinted his eyes and pretended to look around for a while. After a while, he said two words from his mouth very reservedly: "Shang Ke."

"Hmph, little bastard." Lin Chao was obviously not satisfied with Lin Jinhuan's evaluation. He asked Ting Lan to take down his painting, frame it, hang it on the main hall, clean his hands in the jade basin, and finally came to the hall Sit down on a Zen chair.

After everything was snuggled comfortably, Lin Chao began to get down to business. He said to Lin Jinhuan, "Come and sit here. This time I sent you here because there is something important to do in the door."

Lin Jinhuan was a little surprised when he heard the words. He didn't care about teaching affairs since he was a child, and Lin Chao knew this well.Although Lin Chao often blows his beard and stares at Lin Jinhuan, and the father and son get into a ball if they disagree, but in fact, Lin Chao is old and has a son, and Lin Jinhuan is his heart, and he loves and spoils Lin Jinhuan very much.Lin Jinhuan creates conditions for him to do what he wants to do, and never forces him to do what he doesn't want to do.

The strange thing is that the little sect master who grew up in such an environment, his lifelong ambition is to live in seclusion in a remote village and become a teacher, instead of messing with the situation and becoming a demon king.

Lin Jinhuan didn't express his inner thoughts immediately, he was so obedient that he came to sit down under Lin Chao's seat, intending to listen carefully to why Lin Chao suddenly had such an idea.

Lin Chao saw that Lin Jinhuan had no obvious resistance to this matter, so he slightly relaxed his tense back.He continued: "The Shouchun Altar was attacked a month ago, and the whereabouts of the five hundred men and women who have not been escorted back to Jialou Mountain are all missing."

Lin Chao stopped after throwing out a sentence. He secretly took a look at Lin Jinhuan's face and saw that he didn't respond, so he continued: "About this ambush, there are various signs that it is very likely that it was written by the imperial court. Divide the altar I am unable to handle this matter alone, so I plan to send you to Shouchun on my behalf."

"The purpose of your trip is twofold. One is to find out the truth about the attack, and the other is to search for [-] men and women who meet the requirements from the civilian population and escort them back to Jialou Mountain as soon as possible."

"Can it be done?"

After Lin Chao finished speaking, before Lin Jinhuan could reply, he felt a little impassioned in his heart.This was his first attempt to hand over the affairs of the Nine Heavens Gate to Lin Jinhuan.Although Lin Jinhuan has been wandering around all year round and has no intention of teaching, Lin Chao knows his son's talent and martial arts very well. He believes that Lin Jinhuan will be able to take over the burden of Jiutianmen in the near future, and he will definitely do better than him.

But Lin Jinhuan didn't reply, he just sat quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.Ting Lan walked into the hall with tea and snacks, and hurriedly retreated when she saw this.

For a moment, there was complete silence in the hall, and a needle drop could be heard, and the unconscious smile on Lin Chao's face gradually froze on his face.

"Father."

After a while, Lin Jinhuan stood up, raised his hem, and kneeled down on the ground in a neat manner.He solemnly said: "Forgive my son for not being able to take orders."
