The stone walls may once have been solid and smooth, but now they are covered with moss and have mottled textures from time.
Of course, there are also all kinds of weird sword marks.
Most of the stone walls have collapsed.
It collapses from the outside in.
Lin Beichen walked along the gap in the stone wall and came to the courtyard.
The scale of the Sword Formation Research Institute is not smaller than that of the Sword Immortal Academy, but because there are collapsed stone pillars, stone walls, stone houses and messy weeds everywhere, it feels very crowded.
If it weren't for the [Baidu Navigation] prompt and there were no errors, Lin Beichen would really have thought that he had arrived at a garbage dump and not the Sword Formation Research Institute, one of the seven buildings in Baiyun City.
Although the beautiful young master Yin Shan said before that the Sword Formation Research Institute was in decline, but who would have thought that it could be in such a state of decline?
"Who are you looking for?"
A slightly childish voice came.
Lin Beichen turned around and looked.
A little girl wearing tattered linen clothes stood under the low wall in the distance. Her thick and shiny black hair was spread out. In the gap between her long bangs, you could see a pair of big black and white eyes like gems, and a pair of big eyes.
A little apple face showing a little baby fat.
The little girl looks about eight or nine years old.
The clothes are very sloppy.
But he is not a beggar.
Because she was not malnourished due to starvation, but was chubby and cute.
"I'm looking for Uncle Wang Qigong."
Lin Beichen said.
"Do you have anything delicious?"
The little girl's big black eyes sparkled with a cunning light.
Lin Beichen thought for a moment, took out a piece of [Dove], handed it over and said, "Try it, you must have never eaten it before."
With bright eyes, the little girl tore open the outer plastic skin and took a bite. She was startled for a moment, then her big eyes narrowed like a smiling moon, and she let out a vague exclamation, "It's delicious.
Why are you looking for grandpa? My name is Yue Ya'er, come on, I'll take you to see grandpa."
A little girl who is easy to bribe.
For a small piece of chocolate, I betrayed myself and my grandpa.
Bypassing the winding weeds, we arrived at the backyard.
There is finally some fireworks in the backyard.
A half-collapsed hall appeared behind the courtyard.
Judging from the outline and traces, this hall is not small in scale. It must have been a landmark building of the Sword Formation Research Institute. It is definitely not inferior to the "Sword Immortal Hall" of the Sword Immortal Academy, but now it has fallen into disrepair and has suffered
Some kind of explosion damage caused it to collapse beyond repair.
"Grandpa, grandpa... there is a handsome, handsome, generous, and lovely big brother who is looking for you."
Yue Ya'er jumped like a little rabbit and rushed outside the half-collapsed hall. She gathered her hands in the shape of a trumpet near her mouth and shouted loudly.
Lin Beichen: "..."
Okay, with just one piece of [Dove], I got the horoscope of handsome, handsome, generous and cute.
Children are so real.
"not see."
A manic-sounding voice floated out of the hall: "Let him go."
Lin Beichen: "..."
No wonder the old monster, who is called the Sword Formation Research Institute, is so obsessed with studying the sword formation that he becomes obsessed with it. He does not care for secular things and does not teach his disciples. As a result, the originally lively Sword Formation Research Institute has turned into the ruins it is today.
appearance.
Studying the sword formation, I went crazy.
"Brother, give me a piece of the delicious food just now, and I will go in and help you carry grandpa out."
Yue Yaer turned around and started bargaining with Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen smiled and threw another piece of chocolate.
"You wait."
The little girl patted her chest and said, "I, Yue Yaer, collect money and do things. I am absolutely reliable."
As he said that, he jumped into the collapsed hall like a little rabbit.
After a while.
"Oh, little bastard, let go of grandpa..."
The irritable voice from before sounded, looking frightened and angry, and said: "Stop pulling it out, you've almost pulled out my grandpa's beard."
Then he saw Yue Yaer holding one hand on his waist and pulling the beard of an old man with a white beard with the other, as if pulling a stubborn donkey, and pulled him out of the collapsed hall door.
Lin Beichen: "..."
She is really a good granddaughter of grandpa.
The white-bearded old man screamed strangely, and was finally brought to Lin Beichen.
"mission accomplished."
Crescent Moon happily clapped her palms, ran to the side and continued to nibble on the remaining chocolate.
Lin Beichen looked Wang Qigong up and down.
This old man looks to be at least seventy or eighty years old. He is tall and thin, with white hair, eyebrows and beard. He has a red nose, but his face is rosy and his complexion looks very good. However, his eyes are slightly squinted, giving him the appearance of being short-sighted.
"Who are you?"
Wang Qigong seemed very impatient and said, "What are you doing to me? Say it quickly and get out of here."
Lin Beichen looked the old man up and down, suddenly sighed and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When Lin Beichen actually met this old scholar who was slacking off in order to study the sword formation, Lin Beichen immediately realized that he had most likely found the wrong person.
Because Wang Qigong's cultivation level is very low.
He is almost at the level of a great martial artist.
He is still far from being a martial arts master.
Not to mention a half-step heavenly being.
Even if he uses the best medicine, various magically modified health products and green fruits, it is impossible for this old scholar to return to the realm of a half-step heavenly being in just half a day.
Who would have thought that this old lunatic could dissipate his energy so thoroughly.
"Oh, alas, don't leave."
Wang Qigong, an old scholar who originally ignored Lin Beichen, suddenly grabbed Lin Beichen's arm and refused to let him go: "What do you mean, dig me out of here and leave without saying a word? No, I prefer."
I won’t let you go.”
Lin Beichen: "..."
This feeling is a bit of a tease.
"Originally, I wanted to ask my seniors for help. But when we met, I realized that my seniors couldn't help me with this."
Lin Beichen told the truth.
After saying that, he was anxious to leave.
After all, there are less than five hours left to complete the accidental acceleration task of KEEP software.
He must seize the time and rush back to find a way. Completing the mission and improving his strength are the first priority.
"Leave it to me."
Wang Qigong was dissatisfied and snapped his fingers.
Snapped.
A flying sword suddenly flew up from under a pile of broken tiles on the side, as fast as lightning, and shot towards Lin Beichen.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Lin Beichen flicked his finger.
The flying sword flew back and fell into a pile of tiles.
"Huh?"
Wang Qigong was startled, then laughed and said, "The little guy is pretty good."
The voice fell.
Bang bang bang.
He snapped his fingers three times.
Three more flying swords flew out from behind the tree, from the water vat, and from under the stove, and shot at Lin Beichen.
"Senior, I have something important to do, so I can't waste time... I'm sorry."
Lin Beichen said, also flexing his fingers.
Ding ding ding.
The three flying swords were bounced upside down in mid-air.
But this time, it was Lin Beichen's turn to let out a low cry of surprise.
"Huh?"
He found that the long sword that had been deflected by him had flown upside down less than ten meters, actually stopped in the air, and then flew back again.
Um?
Is this the art of sword control?
Or is it the ability to control metals based on the metal mysterious energy?
Lin Beichen looked at Wang Qigong in great surprise.
If it was the latter, it would be the first time that Lin Beichen saw a warrior who could produce some supernatural powers after awakening the mysterious energy like himself after he came to this world.
Moreover, the power contained in these three flying swords,
Comparable to a great martial arts master.
It far exceeds the power that Wang Qigong, an eighth-level martial artist, should possess.
"Be careful, you..."
In the distance, Yue Yaer saw Lin Beichen not avoiding or parrying the flying sword, and reminded him loudly.
But her words stopped abruptly in the next moment.
Because the three flying swords suddenly stopped without warning when they were about half a meter away from Lin Beichen, like snails trapped in an air swamp, unable to move an inch.
"Huh?"
The third exclamation came from Wang Qigong's mouth.
The old man rubbed his eyes, looked at Lin Beichen, and said: "Little guy, there is no profound energy fluctuation, and it is not controlled by absorbing profound energy. How did you... do it? Let the flying sword freeze in the air."
Lin Beichen said curiously: "Why don't you tell me first, old man, how do you control this flying sword? With your level of cultivation at the great martial arts master level, it is impossible for the flying sword to have such lethality."
"Little guy, you really have some wisdom, you can see the key point at a glance."
Wang Qigong, who had white hair and white beard, said: "Hahaha, you are the first person to see the power of my sword array after it was first formed. Well, it seems that you have the cultivation level of the heaven and human realm, not bad
Not bad, come on, have a good experience, don’t worry, I’m going to be very gentle and won’t hurt you.”
The words have not yet fallen.
From the gravel nearby, from the broken bowl, from the dry well, from the water tank, from the grass, from the pond, from the tree crown, from the hole in the wall, from the crack in the wall, from the water ladle, from the clothes hanger, from the door... and so on.
In this place, hundreds of flying swords of various sizes and strange shapes flew out of the air.
Lin Beichen's expression changed.
At this moment, he actually felt a heavy pressure.
