"My husband and I would like to thank Senior Sister Dugu on behalf of Junior Brother."
You Xuan quickly pulled Ji Lu and bowed.
"No need, just take what you need." An invisible sword light appeared at Dugulin's feet, "I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."
The sword light carried her down the mountain in an instant, and disappeared into the vast sea of white clouds in the blink of an eye.
Ji Lu Youxuan sighed.
“This level is finally over.”
"Yes, forget about messing with Han Xiaolong. There are actually people who are at the top of their Qi practice being harmed by demons. There are only a few people at the top of the sect's Qi practice. If the higher-ups find out, they will be furious. After a thorough investigation, the junior brother will definitely be implicated.
." Ji Lu said worriedly.
"Just do your best," You Xuan comforted him.
*****************
The blue dove slowly landed on Lin Xinxin's back.
He gently took off the paper roll from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it and looked at it. He breathed a sigh of relief on his face.
"It's been temporarily delayed."
At this time, he was standing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the villa. The sky was dark and Liuyang was standing beside him with his head bowed.
Ahem
The pain in his heart started again, and Lin Xin couldn't help but cough a few times. The internal injury that had penetrated his heart had not yet healed, and this time he was forced to use the mortal fire array that he could not bear, which aggravated the injury and turned it into a chronic disease.
I went to see a doctor and they all said that my lungs had been damaged and it was a miracle that I didn't die. Now I can only recuperate slowly and not consume it for too long, otherwise it will definitely endanger my life.
"Sect Master" Liu Yang said worriedly, "Your injury"
"It's okay." The paper roll in Lin Xinxin's hand burned into ashes, and he let go of the blue dove. "It's an old problem."
"What's the news?" Liu Yang asked softly.
"The matter has been suppressed for the time being. The superiors are already very dissatisfied with the misbehavior of that faction. We will have no problem for a short time." Lin Xin said in a low voice.
"But a qi refiner suddenly disappeared, and there must be experts coming to check." Although he didn't know what level that Yuan Shihong was. But Liu Yang intuitively felt that he was definitely above the second or third level of qi training, otherwise the sect leader would not be able to fight
So hard.
"Now people in the Villa are in panic. Many people are spreading rumors that the owner of the Villa has offended the sect's masters and may have his house confiscated and exterminated because of this."
"Let them pass it on." Lin Xin said calmly. "You should step back first."
Liu Yang nodded and flew away. The lightness skill he chose to practice was a set of lightness skills that Lin Xin discovered in a dark residence.
It was a combination of the sect's Qing Gong that Lin Xin had come into contact with, and the many insights from the Jiyang Scroll and Jueyan's Notes. He simply named it the Mind Eye Movement Technique. The movement technique follows the route of extremely enhanced explosive power.
It is not enough to last for a long time, but combined with the Ji Yang Scroll internal strength. The instantaneous burst speed generated by the Yang Ji Dan is difficult to match even with the Shining Body Technique at the same level. The difficulty is that it requires the spirit to coordinate with the body technique at the same time. Otherwise it will be very difficult.
Might get distracted and fall.
When Liu Yang left and Lin Xin left the pavilion, there were many fewer servants along the way.
As he walked across the small bridge, his eyes glanced across the lake under the bridge. He seemed to catch sight of a pale white face smiling at him from under the water.
"Um?"
He turned his eyes again and returned to the water. Sure enough, he saw that human face.
It seemed to be a woman who had been drowned in the water. She was dressed in white, with long hair like algae, and her soaked face was smiling strangely at him.
There was a sound of water, and the woman in the water suddenly flew out of the water, and her hands turned into sharp claws and rushed towards him fiercely.
"husband"
laugh!!
The sharp silver sword light suddenly lit up.
There seemed to be countless voices screaming and echoing in Lin Xin's mind, and waves of tearing murderous intent spewed out of his heart, as if it was going to completely submerge all his reason.
Instinctively, he suddenly drew his sword and thrust it towards the woman.
A breeze blew by. He suddenly remembered something, and the sword light suddenly stopped.
"Daddy, daddy!" What came to his ears was Xiao Linzhen's frightened voice.
The hallucination before his eyes dissipated, and when Lin Xin saw the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He was holding a long sword, and the tip of the sword fell straight on the tip of Xiao Lin's nose, almost killing his own son.
A deep chill surged into his heart. He put away his sword, suppressed the horror in his heart, and forced out a smile as gentle as possible.
"Why did you suddenly come here, Zhen'er? Aren't you practicing with your mother?"
A little blood slowly seeped out from the tip of Lin Zhen's nose. His face turned pale and his lips were trembling.
"Did daddy just test me?"
"Yeah" Lin Xin forced a smile, "It's a pity that dad is a little disappointed, your body skills have deteriorated a bit. I'll go see your sister Hong tonight and practice Qing Kung Fu more."
"Yes." Only then did Lin Zhen understand. At that moment, he really thought he was almost killed. But now it seems that it was his father who was deliberately testing him, but he was just a little more severe and real. Thinking of this, he felt better immediately.
A lot.
After some scolding, Lin Xin waited until Lin Zhen left and stood on the bridge for a long time, but just stared blankly at the reflection below.
"It's time to go down again." He knew that the appearance of hallucinations meant that he had to go down and fight again, otherwise the hallucinations would become more and more serious and difficult.
************************
It’s the red leaf forest again.
Lin Xin's figure gently emerged from the air and landed on the ground.
He took a look and saw that not far ahead, there was a handful of demon talisman stuck in the ground. The mysterious drunk man had obviously left, leaving behind the location of the demon talisman.
So much so that he accidentally landed here.
"Why can't I see anyone else?" A trace of doubt flashed in his mind.
It stands to reason that if he can come here based on the position of these demon talismans, then other people should also be able to come here. But he doesn't understand why no one else comes to this red leaf forest.
"Is it weird?"
The woman, whose face was pale and could fall over in the wind, stood beside him like a ghost. The distance between them was less than one meter.
Lin Xin's whole body tensed up and he almost couldn't help but draw his sword.
Hearing the question, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded slightly.
"That's because no one else dares to come." The woman's voice was soft and soft, as if she only had the sound of breathing and no vibration of her vocal cords.
"Don't dare? Why?" Lin Xin had a vague guess in his mind.
"Hehehe" the woman laughed strangely and walked up to him. She looked him up and down carefully.
"Did you know? The leaves here are not originally red."
Lin Xin smelled a strong and pungent smell of blood that kept entering his nostrils, and felt like he wanted to vomit. But he suppressed it.
"What do you want to say?"
"Can't you smell it?" The woman stretched out her index finger and gently raised it to her nose, shushing.
She signaled Lin Xin to be quiet.
"The smell of countless blood filling the air is also here, underground, where countless innocent souls are wailing and screaming." She suddenly laughed strangely.
I was laughing so hard that I could barely restrain myself. I even had a nervous feeling.
Lin Xin's head was swollen from the laughter. As soon as his eyes blurred, he saw the woman suddenly disappear and suddenly appear sitting on the branch of a big tree nearby. Her white skirt swayed with her swaying calves.
A flash.
"This is a place where blood is buried. Leaves, tree trunks, soil, and even stones, everything seems to be soaked in blood and decay. Can't you smell it?" The woman looked at Lin Xin with a strange expression.
"I can't smell it." Lin Xin suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said in a low voice. "Who are you? Who is he?"
There was a flower in front of my eyes. The woman appeared next to the tree trunk in the distance again, squatted down slowly, and picked up a small branch.
"You can't smell it because you are used to it."
In silence, the drunkard walked out from behind a tree trunk again, holding a new yellow wine gourd in his hand. He sat back down, pulled out the demon talisman, and drank sip after sip.
Lin Xin took a deep breath. The two people in front of him were definitely powerful masters far beyond him, but they were both a little weird and mysterious.
There must be some secret in this forest, but he didn't believe that like the woman said, these red leaves were stained red with blood.
He came in this time. Since he was back here, he just had a question he wanted to ask.
These two people definitely knew a lot about You Mansion. He tried many times, but could not hide himself and disguised himself as a two-faced person to blend in. After many failures, he might be able to get the answer from these two people.
"I want to ask a question."
He looked at the pale woman.
The woman was playing with the branches in her hands, as if she wasn't listening to him at all.
"I would like to ask my senior for advice on a question." Lin Xin repeated.
Woman holds up her finger, shush
"Don't talk"
The nauseating smell of blood on her body filled the air again.
Lin Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered what the other party said before. He suddenly understood. He stood there and pondered for a moment.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice!"
He cupped his hands and turned to leave.
The woman looked at him inexplicably, and then smiled nonchalantly.
"Another madman"
*******************
a few days later
Walking slowly on the streets of two-faced people.
The back of Lin Xin's head was covered with a layer of opaque black cloth, with a slightly gentle and kind smile on his face. He was dressed like a Jianghu person, just like the two-faced Jianghu people in street restaurants who ate meat and drank alcohol.
There is no difference.
He has now found the reason why he was discovered in the first place.
A double-faced person has two faces, one is kind, and the other is bitter and cold. They represent the two personalities inside. That kind smile cannot be faked simply by pretending, but must come from the heart.
But what's more troublesome is their sense of smell. They can easily smell very subtle smells. Even if it's a little bit of smell that a person was exposed to a few days ago, they can easily distinguish it.
Lin Xin first found a stream and took a bath to cleanse his whole body. Then he killed someone at will, turned around, and made a small hidden formation specifically for the sense of smell.
Such modification of the formation is just a minor problem for him. It is only used to deceive ordinary people, and it couldn't be easier.
If time were not urgent, he originally planned to wait until the Red Flower Sword was reforged before coming down, but now, he could no longer wait and the hallucinations were getting worse. If he delayed it any longer, it might cause consequences that he himself could not foresee (unfinished)
