Bai Yujing

Chapter 40

=====================

Lin Yan looked at them with determined eyes, and pinched a slight red mark between his brows.

In Shen Xing Prison, he bet that the right or wrong of the fork in the road was completely walking on a tightrope, and he was able to pass Shen Xing Prison smoothly, relying on Shi Tianqing's sudden recovery of the memory of Shen Xing Prison, but what about the old man...

An old man who was able to break into the Shen Xing Prison and even knew how to leave the Shen Xing Prison, when did he meet Liu Ren.

The two disciples who had just recognized someone didn't dare to ask Lin Yan who it was, they just stared at Lin Yan's reaction without daring to pant.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Yan finally said, "I understand." He stood up while leaning on the armrest, and glanced at Mr. Yashan, who knew that the lie that Liu Ren ran away by himself had been exposed, so he didn't dare to say anything. , just bowed his head and waited on one side.

He placed the canvas in the air with spiritual power, "If you see this person in the future, please be sure to tell me."

The headmaster and all the disciples responded one after another, and no one dared to ask who the old man was.Seeing that they were all seriously remembering the old man's face, Lin Yan raised his eyes to look at that face.

The face was covered with wrinkles, the beard and hair were completely white, and the eyes were as calm as water, without much emotion.

Lin Yan shook his head.

I really can't see anything.

Seeing that everyone had almost remembered it, he looked away again, and with all the worries in his body, he only had a calm look, and said lightly: "Mr. .”

The disciples of Tianque Peak looked at each other like the rest of their lives, and even the sect leader looked at Lin Yan's back in disbelief, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

As a subordinate official in the world, he rarely sees Lin Yan in Baiyujing. This is the first time he negotiated with His Highness the Third Highness. He thought that if he lost Liu Ren, even if he didn't start a bloodbath in Tianque Peak, He was about to be dismissed from his post, but unexpectedly, it was revealed as if it was light.

"It is truly a blessing for the common people to have such a crown prince in Bai Yujing."

Lin Yan didn't know the judgments made by others behind him. He didn't question Tianquefeng Xingshi. It was easy to say that there were so many disciples who were willing to make peace on Yashanjun's behalf. It was true that Yashanjun didn't treat Liu Ren harshly. It's just that he was too timid and tried to deceive him, which made Lin Yan a little speechless.

In addition, with the posture of the old man with his hands and eyes open to the sky, as long as he wants to take Liu Ren away, if he wants to use Ya Shan Jun's skill, even if he keeps Liu Ren tied to his belt all day long to protect him, he may not be able to protect Liu Ren. This time I was lucky enough to protect him, and I am afraid there will be a next time.

And looking for this opportunity to take Liu Ren away, Lin Yan thought, maybe Liu Ren's disappearance is really related to his lifting of the ban.

He didn't install any tracking technique on Liu Ren, the three worlds are vast, and now he doesn't know where to find him.After a moment of heart palpitations, his steps suddenly became a little heavy.

When he left Tianque Peak and returned to the place he agreed with Shi Tianqing, the sky had already darkened a lot.

He looked around, his spiritual sense diffused, and it didn't take long before he noticed a slight trace of people.With a flick of his finger, the flexible willow branch was released around his fingertips, hooking the person hiding in the corner.

Unexpectedly, it was not Shi Tianqing's voice that came out as he expected, but a very slight whimper, which seemed to be weak but mixed with heartbreaking pain.

He hastily collected the willow branches and hurried over, but found a dying man lying behind the thick thorn bushes.Seeing his eyes were full of panic, and after the panic, he seemed a little dazed.

"You...you?" He gasped, his body was covered with whip scars, "Are you the Third Highness of the Immortal Mu?"

Lin Yan lowered his eyebrows calmly. The spirit stones necessary for the cultivation of immortals are all refined by the offerings of mortals. Therefore, the emperor of heaven once sent heavenly soldiers to walk around the world pretending to be mortals, and built various statues of gods, all of which were seven points like myself.

However, there is still a difference between stone statues and real people. Except for Luochuan-kun's shaved and highly recognizable ones, others are also difficult to recognize.

He didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, so he avoided his question, and only said: "What's wrong with you?" He calmly cast a little spell, which relieved the pain on the man.

"Sir, do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Seeing Lin Yan's reaction, the man felt that the other party regarded him as a delirious fool, and hurriedly explained: "I was originally from Gujia Village. I don't know if you have heard of it, sir. .”

Perhaps the pain in his body has decreased a little, and his mental state has improved a lot. Regardless of whether Lin Yan has heard of it, he continued on his own: "My grandparents were originally from Liujialing, and they married into our valley. from the village."

Hearing the word "Liujialing", Lin Yan looked at the man with a somewhat unexpected and complicated expression.

"I heard that a plague broke out in Liujialing more than a hundred years ago, and the whole village died. My grandparents wept at home all day, until one day, her mother suddenly gave her a dream," he said as if he was a little proud : "It is said that a master Mu Xianjun turned them into gods, and told them to reincarnate into good fetuses."

He took out a simple silver hairpin from his pocket, "At first, everyone didn't believe it, and they said she was crazy about her parents, but my grandparents took out this silver hairpin."

"This silver hairpin was a personal accessory of my grandparents' mother, but it suddenly appeared next to my grandparents' pillow after waking up from a dream that day. My Gujiacun and Liujialing had some relationship in the past, so someone came out to testify that It’s indeed something from my grandparents’ own mother.”

"After going back and forth, everyone wanted to make Immortal Mu appear again and protect our village, so they specially rebuilt the ancestral hall of Immortal Mu, and our family became the official of this ancestral hall, and was responsible for guarding the ancestral hall from generation to generation," he stroked. Holding the silver hairpin in his hand, "This hairpin has also become a family heirloom in our family."

Lin Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, presumably he turned into a fairy and went to see his children without authorization.After so many years, Lin Yan didn't know whether he should punish this person for recklessly breaking the rules of heaven, or thank her for helping him attract so many offerings. Presumably, it was because this person guarded his statue all day long that he could recognize him at a glance .

As if he accidentally pulled the wound on his body, the man hissed softly, and continued: "For a hundred years, the ancestral hall has been full of incense, until the imperial court suddenly ordered troops to attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the men in the village were so taxed that they couldn't hold their heads up. It’s harder than farming cattle, and throughout the year, not a single grain of rice falls into my pocket, and the whole family is starved to death.”

His face was full of bitterness, "Because our family is an official, we can still receive a share of offerings at first, so we won't starve to death, but unexpectedly a few months ago, the holy decree re-conscription, those who have no money to eat, heard that All of us, Nan Chen, who are going to win every battle and plan to earn some military merit, are all gone."

"The county magistrate couldn't pay the tax, so he bulldozed the ancestral hall of the wooden fairy, and sold the bronze statue of the fairy made of countless silver taels raised by the ancestors. They waited on me with a board, and then dragged me to farm, many families had no males, so I was asked to plant the land for five people, and if I couldn’t grow food, they would beat me.”

He glanced down at his bruised body, "I couldn't bear it anymore, so I ran out." Sometimes he fell into a coma after not eating for a long time, and woke up suddenly with pain after a while, and he didn't know that he was running. How long and how far did he run, only for fear of being caught back again.

Until now, he really can't run anymore. He originally wanted to wait to die in this deep mountain and old forest, at least not to be chopped into meat to reward the army - he really heard that some county magistrates couldn't hand over the meat, so they killed people or They picked up corpses that had just died of starvation and sent them up as animal meat.

"Military violence." Lin Yan frowned. When he came back to Nanchen, although the imperial capital was in chaos, most of the citizens who were far away from the capital could live and work in peace. The people are in dire straits.

He stretched out his hand and covered the man's withered and skinny wrist because of his escape. It was probably because this man had a good foundation, but his external injuries were horrific, and he had been starved for too long, so he was not powerless inside.He turned his hands back calmly, took out a pill from the ring and handed it to him, "Eat it."

The man looked at Lin Yan in a daze for a while, and then, regardless of whether it was poison or medicine, he picked up the stool and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole, but unexpectedly, his whole body became lighter in an instant, and the flesh wounds on his body were also visible to the naked eye speed of healing.

"You!" He leaned up and knelt in front of Lin Yan, bowed his head and kowtowed, "Thank you!" But when he looked up again, there was no one in front of him.

"He must be Immortal Mu..." The man stood there dumbfounded, murmured for a while, and suddenly burst into tears, shouting in the sky: "Grandmother, grandma, thank you for the blessing of your spirit in the sky. I saw Immortal Mu Yes! I really saw Lord Mu Xian!"

Lin Yan sighed indistinctly in the distance, people's lives are dying, he can save this one today, but it is impossible to distribute pills around the world, even though the pills don't contain any spiritual power, except for faster healing, they have nothing to do with the world. There is not much difference in the medicinal materials, but it is impossible for everyone to have one. Moreover, the emperor of heaven has ordered that the immortals can protect those who worship him piously, but they must not interfere in the overall situation of the world.

Just like back then, he could only punish Queen Nanchen and the "National Teacher", and even if Nanchen's political situation fell into chaos, he would never intervene.The only thing he can do is to use spiritual power to promote the growth of grains in the world during the confinement, and then ask Luo Chuan to give him a good weather when his uncle Luo Chuan comes to visit him.

But even so, it is difficult to save the huge consumption of food and grass in the current war situation.

Furthermore, even if he did the trick, there would be very few people tilling the fields.Besides, the North and the South are at war now, and as a neutral Protoss, he can't just help one side, but if he helps both sides, it will only make the battle line drag longer and cause more tragic deaths.

Lin Yan shook his head very lightly, and checked the surroundings again, and found that there was no one else except the person he had rescued just now.

Shi Tianqing did not wait for him as promised.

He walked down the mountain path, leaving the figure of the passerby far behind.The humid air rushed towards his face, seeing the twilight, he didn't walk to the foot of the mountain until the sun went down.

The mountains are facing the water, and Lin Yan saw that there was a long river beside the foot of the mountain. A boatman was standing on the old wooden boat, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, making the orange light walk in a color. He held the paddle in both hands, and shouted with a smile, "Cultivated for a hundred years to cross the same boat, this young master who looks better than Pan An, would you like to board my boat?"

Lin Yan then walked over under his gaze.

The boatman held the ends of the sculls with one hand, and freed one hand to pass to Lin Yan. The jointed hands were carved like white jade, but the palm was slightly red.

Lin Yan took his hand and it was cold to the touch.As soon as his feet stepped onto the boat, the boatman hugged him by the waist, wrapping him in his arms.

A slight movement disturbed the fishing boat, which swayed slightly on the sparkling water.

Lin Yan said softly, "Why did you miss the appointment?"

Shi Tianqing took off his bamboo hat and approached Lin Yan, his warm breath intertwined between them, he said in a low voice, "Will you believe me when I say wait for you?"

"I wanted to believe it at first," Lin Yan said, "Fortunately... I didn't believe it in the end."

As soon as the words were finished, Lin Yan's figure gradually became blurred and turned into spots of light, falling finely on Shi Tianqing's palm, and the warm feeling in his palm suddenly disappeared.

"Split/Body Technique?" Shi Tianqing looked down at his palm, after a moment of stupefaction, he suddenly smiled, picked up the oar again, and stirred the water waves.

Lin Yan in the distant sky raised his hand, and the light spot of his body returned to his hand. He looked down at the boat with broken ripples on the blue river, took a deep breath, and let it out again.

Yu Jian went all the way to the north, and the pure cloud passed by, no one knew it, and a subtle astringency flashed in the heart of His Highness the Third Highness.

============

In the dense mountains and dense forests, there were occasional two or three chirps of insects, which could not be discerned from a distance, but only when one got closer could one see a shadow in black armor hidden among the layers of trees.

The men and horses carrying the military flag on the trail below the mountain obviously hadn’t noticed it yet. They were drowsy in the afternoon, and the long trek made the army look extremely tired. The leading general carried a long knife and rode on a tall horse. He raised his voice and said: "The mountain road is narrow at the moment, Xia Yingyou is good at setting up an ambush, don't slack off, cheer me up!"

Those young generals drooped their eyelids when they heard the words, and pretended to cheer up for a moment. When the general turned his head, he muttered again and whispered: "Our reinforcements have trekked here from Nanchen. Every time we encounter dangerous roads and secluded places, General Hou will say Xia Ying will set up an ambush, and in the past month, I have said more than ten times at least, but there is no ambush once."

Then someone answered him in a low voice, "No, according to me, how could Xia Ying play so well? Our General Hou is still too cautious. In the hundred years since the Southern Chen Reform, our national strength has already been several times stronger than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. , Armored soldiers and horses are far superior to those of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, no matter how powerful Xia Ying is, she only has so few soldiers, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"You don't know," a soldier behind heard their conversation and also interjected, "I have a cousin who was recruited when the Zhenbei Army was first recruited. He was a firefighter. When he went, he was also Full of ambition, he believed that Nan Chen would win, and he was sent back with serious injuries not long ago," the soldier pointed to his two heavy legs, "It's all broken."

The soldier's eyes widened when he heard this, but he still maintained his expression for a while, and said forcefully: "It's common to get injured on the battlefield, it's because he's not smart, who can he blame?" It seems that he won't get hurt if he said so like.

"No, no, my cousin said that if General Xia of the Northern Zhou Dynasty dispatched troops with divine help, it would be really difficult to resist. Now the court chief says that our army has the upper hand and the capture of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is just around the corner. That is all a lie. In fact, at the front line, Nan Chen has long since died, so we recruited our group of reinforcements."

The man from before snorted coldly and cupped his hands upwards, "The holy decree is that this call for reinforcements is to capture Northern Zhou faster, so that we can harvest the wheat of Northern Zhou in the fall. Do you believe your useless cousin? Do you still believe in our imperial court? Don’t grow others’ ambitions and destroy your own prestige.”

Seeing that no one cared about what he said, the little soldier glanced at them unhappily, held his weapon with drooping eyebrows, and remained vigilant.

Until a crisp sound sounded from the mountain, he raised his head in horror, and almost immediately heard the sound of the armor hitting the stone. The next moment, a long arrow pierced through the air and pierced straight into his heart. .

When he fell to the ground on his back, in his eyes were countless burning feather arrows rushing towards his face. The flames lit up his pupils, and also illuminated the distressed face of the Nancheng Army.

Countless screams rang in his ears, and his consciousness had gradually collapsed, just enough to sink into the deeper and deeper darkness before he died completely, and said silently: "I told you...don't believe me."

The leader, General Hou, was still calm. Seeing this, he frowned, and quickly said: "Everyone raise their shields to speed up the march and stand out from the encirclement!"

However, his soldiers have lost their morale, they don't care about breaking out of the encirclement, they just jump up and down in the sea of ​​fire, like a group of monkeys playing mischief.

The little soldier was right. Nanchen Tiejia, who drove hundreds of thousands into the Northern Zhou Dynasty, encountered unspeakable obstacles in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

It is clear that the number of troops is several times that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the battle situation is extremely anxious.

In the bitter cold of the north, the soldiers are resolute and brave, brave and good at fighting, especially cavalry. In addition, there is a major general Xia Ying, who was born in a family of generals, and his father is Xia Lie, the great general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Since Xia Lie's old injuries had never recovered, Xia Ying had just passed the age of the weak crown, and Xia Ying went into battle, and the imperial horse rushed towards Nan Chen who was watching him covetously.

No one expected that as soon as this young major general made his appearance, he would become the God of God on the battlefield, the blood Shura of the Buddha.

□□A group of red foxes and BMWs, with a red tassel in their hands□□, wearing strong and sharp, brave and unstoppable.What's even more rare is that this person is not only excellent in martial arts, but also good at deploying troops.

Under the counterattack of Northern Zhou cavalry led by Xia Ying, Nan Chen's wish to capture Northern Zhou in half a year came to naught, and more than half of the well-trained army on the front line was lost.

However, the self-willed Emperor Nanchen could never accept such a result. He made this decision against all opinions, and he had already offended many courtiers. A second batch of reinforcements was added.

The second batch of reinforcements had not received many years of professional training. Rao General Hou, as a tiger general, could not control the decline, so he could only lead the soldiers around him who had not lost their minds to rush forward.

Until he bumped into the little general who was holding a red-tasseled spear in front of him, wearing a maroon robe, and riding a red horse.

Beside him is the bright red "Xia" flag, and behind him is the Predator of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Under the helmet, you can see his eyes that are particularly clear under the sun and the hearty smile of midsummer.

"General Hou, Xia Ying has been waiting for you here for a long time."
