When leaving the city lord's mansion, Lin Ji felt a little surprised.
He did not expect that the Qi family had long known that the incident involving Lei Yunzhu was Feiyun Sect's plan, and had always swallowed their anger.
Judging from this point alone, both Qi Ducheng and Qi Ning can be regarded as characters.
Especially Qi Ning, who is said to be forty years old, but to a monk, he is just a young man.
At a young age, the city is very rich, and he spends his whole day following Feiyun Zong Lianhao, who plotted to hurt his father and take away his family's treasures, but he still fawns over him in every possible way.
I have to say, this is also a skill.
Thinking about it, Qi Ning showed recklessness in front of him several times, maybe it was also a disguise.
In addition, what Lin Ji didn't expect was that the Qi family was so courageous. They knew that Lei Yunzhu had fallen into his hands, but they could still talk to him calmly.
If they were to change positions, Lin Ji didn't think he could have a calm conversation with his enemy face to face.
Definitely give me two knives first.
"I didn't expect that Feiyun Sect, despite all the hard work, would just use its power to bully others into silence..."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji shook his head slightly, feeling a little ridiculous.
"Yuncheng is to Yunzhou what Tianjing City is to Jiuzhou... In such a big city where monks gather, even Supervisor Tiansi cannot interfere openly."
"I didn't expect that because of Feiyun Sect's bullying, the Qi family was pushed to Supervisor Tiansi and the imperial court."
This matter is naturally beneficial to Jian Tiansi. With Jian Tiansi's methods, as long as there is a reason in Fanyun City, it will naturally cause trouble.
There are many things that Supervisor Tiansi wants to do but doesn't do. It's not because he can't do it, but because he lacks a legitimate reason.
And in Fanyun City, no one is more legitimate than the Qi family.
"Logically speaking, we should go to Beiguan City to see Qin Jinsong and tell him face to face about this matter." Lin Ji then remembered the trouble caused by the Holy Fire Cult, which was also the reason why he came to Fanyun City.
"Forget it, let's go back to Beijing directly. I don't want to stay in Yunzhou for a moment longer."
...
Lin Ji quickly returned to the inn.
Lu Cong has disappeared. Ever since he reported the news to Lin Jitong yesterday, he has no idea where he went.
In the inn room.
As soon as he saw Lin Ji, Beishang said directly: "Li Nan has already arrived."
Lin Ji was startled.
"Have you been here already? Where is Senior Na Linan now?"
"I don't know." Beishang shook his head and said, "I didn't see layman Li Nan, but your little brother obeyed your words. He suddenly disappeared. He was obviously taken away by his master."
"That's it." Lin Ji understood.
If it were before, his purpose was still to get rid of the Holy Fire in his body, and now he might have to find a way to meet with Li Nan.
But on the way back, he had already decided to leave Yunzhou as soon as possible.
Therefore, the matter of the Holy Fire is not urgent. Perhaps Shen Long can start this matter.
Beishuang obviously noticed Lin Ji's absent-mindedness, so she didn't ask further questions and instead smiled and said, "Have you got the Thunder Cloud Pearl?"
There was nothing to hesitate. Lin Ji flipped his right hand, and a bead emitting purple light appeared in his palm.
What Lin Ji didn't expect was that Beishang just glanced at it and lost interest.
"Just for this treasure, dozens of monks died."
"They are just low-level characters who overestimate their abilities and are not worth mentioning." Lin Ji responded casually.
But as soon as he said these words, his expression suddenly froze.
Beishang keenly noticed the change in expression on Lin Ji's face.
"What's wrong?" she asked in confusion.
Lin Ji was silent.
After a while, he changed the subject and said, "This trip is a success since I got Lei Yunzhu. I'm going to leave for Beijing today."
"Are you leaving today?" Beishang was a little surprised, but then his eyes widened slightly, "You won't kill everyone in the Feiyun Sect, right?"
"No, why kill people just to get the treasure." Lin Ji shook his head and said, "It's just that I am too unfamiliar with Yunzhou. I have been staying in Yunzhou for about a month, but the complexity here makes me feel lingering fear."
Lin Ji shook his head and said: "I'm going to stay here, it's better to go back to the capital and stay home."
"Are you scared?" Beishang raised her eyebrows slightly, and she could hear a bit of awe in Lin Ji's words.
"It's hard to say you're afraid, but a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall."
"You're just scared."
"Nothing."
Lin Ji denied it categorically.
...
After saying goodbye to Beishuang, Lin Ji waited at the inn for another half day.
Until the evening, Lu Cong didn't show up, so he lost his patience. After saying hello to Beishuang again, he left Fanyun City alone.
Shortly after Lin Ji left, there was a knock on Beishang's room door.
Without waiting for her to respond, the door to the room was pushed open, and an old man with white hair and beard walked in.
Seeing this person, Beishuang quickly stood up and saluted.
"Beishuang, the contemporary saint of the Holy Fire Sect, has met Elder Li Nan."
This person was their target when they came to Fanyun City. He was a former elder of the Holy Fire Sect and a Taoist monk named Li Nan.
Li Nan always had a smile on his lips, which made people feel close to him.
"As a saint, there is no holy fire in your body. It seems that the sect intends to train you to become a talented person."
Hearing this, Beishang didn't know how to respond.
Her holy fire was not taken away by the elders of the church, but by the mysterious wind ghost in the secret realm.
But she couldn't say this, so she could only acquiesce.
Seeing Beishang's silence, Li Nan did not take it seriously and continued, "I will not return to the Holy Fire Sect."
In one sentence, Beishuang's purpose of this trip was defeated.
Beishuang still didn't speak.
If she didn't want to speak just now, then she couldn't speak now.
A mysterious force surrounded her, leaving her speechless and could only look at the Li Nan layman in front of her.
"The Holy Fire Cult is no longer the Holy Fire Cult before."
As he spoke, Li Nan picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea that had been left for a day.
The tea was brewed in the morning, but by the afternoon it was already a bit rancid.
Therefore, Li Nan just took a sip, frowned without any trace, and put the tea cup down again.
"I heard that over the years, the fire seekers have collected seven or eight hundred holy fires left outside... This is simple to say, but the recovery of every holy fire means the fall of the Yuanshen monk, or the death of the Yuanshen monk.
The family that existed for the Holy Fire was destroyed.”
"These are all evil deeds, they will always be punished, and I still want to live for two more years."
After the words fell, Li Nan waved his hand.
Beishuang felt that he had recovered.
She stared at layman Li Nan with burning eyes.
"evil creature?"
"Evil barrier." Layman Li Nan nodded, stood up and walked out.
He walked slowly and said as he walked: "I have been atoning for my sins these years, but after so many years of atoning for my sins, I still can't see the end."
"The evil barrier is a Buddhist term, and Taoism calls it cause and effect." Beishang chewed on the words.
Hearing this, Layman Li Nan turned around and chuckled twice, without commenting.
