The old man put his hands in front of his knees. He did not stand up and allowed the attendant beside him to start treating the wound on his shoulder.
The wound on his shoulder was deep, and some metal fragments and bone fragments could be vaguely seen.
"Feel sorry."
However, he just frowned slightly, looked at Lin Yi approaching, smiled apologetically, and said.
It was actually not a thank you but an apology, but the key point was that Lin Yi looked into his eyes and instantly understood the meaning of his words.
It's just that he didn't know how to respond.
Because for his personal emotions, he really didn't want the old man to interfere in the battle between him and Zhang Nianping. After all, in his opinion, as long as he could entangle Zhang Nianping, the old man would naturally be free to deal with the two men.
Famous swordsman of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
But thinking back on it now, he felt that what the old man did was right.
This made him feel a little complicated.
"Although I didn't hear the conversation between you and the Northern Wei cultivator, I can see that you want a fair duel. I suddenly attacked him. Although it was out of consideration for the entire battle situation, for you
, I naturally need to apologize." The old man looked at Lin Yi, who was slightly frowning, and smiled gently, and said: "It's just that I saw that you finally stopped touching him, and he also understood what you meant, so I thought I could do the same.
Feel more at ease."
Lin Yi nodded. He looked at the attendants beside the old man cleaning his wounds. The old man's voice did not have any trembling. He was very impressed. He looked at the old man and said, "I understand."
What you mean."
The old man looked at his humble and peaceful features and thought about his completely different arrogance when fighting on the battlefield, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
"The final result is good after all. Few people died, and we also won the battle." The old man looked at Lin Yi, smiled and continued, "But no matter what, I still owe you a name and the people around you.
Human life.”
Lin Yi was slightly startled and said: "Senior's words are too strong."
"This is not a serious statement." The old man said softly with some emotion, "The Northern Wei man was only a few dozen steps away from me just now. After half a cup of tea, no reinforcements have arrived. I and the people around me will definitely die.
. Even if I fight for my life before dying, it may have some effect on this battle, but no matter what the final battle situation here is, I and the people around me will probably die here."
The attendants beside him were all solemn.
Because they all knew in their hearts that when Zhang Nianping came to kill without caring about anything else, if Lin Yi had not appeared, their outcome would have been decided, so what the old man said was indeed the truth.
"I'm Ye Jing. I teach in Sanqing County. I don't know which family you belong to." The old man looked at Lin Yi and felt more and more interesting.
"Teaching in Sanqing County, Ye Jing? Are you an old man from Sanqing?" Lin Yi was startled. He forgot to answer the other party's question first.
The old man did not explain, but nodded gently.
“…”
Lin Yi was speechless for a while.
The old man Sanqing was extremely famous throughout the Southern Dynasties.
What is famous is not his cultivation, but his virtue and his teachings.
In the past few decades, he has taught many outstanding students. These students are also not known for their cultivation, but for their integrity and uprightness in their official duties in the court.
Even some of his students did not serve as officials in the court, but gave lectures everywhere, and even did not charge tuition fees for some poor students.
Since the old dynasty, the Sanqing Sect has become a school of thought. In the old dynasty, it was a pure school. Even several of his students were executed for their upright remonstrances.
So in a sense, he and some of his students are opinion leaders in both the government and the public.
"Why are people like you here?" Lin Yi looked at the old man blankly and expressed his inner feelings.
"Then where should people like me be?" The old man couldn't help laughing.
Maybe I should travel and give lectures, maybe I should drink tea and chat with some important people in a big city?
Lin Yi honestly thought about those possibilities, and he felt that he shouldn't be here.
"I always tell all the students to practice it." The old man looked at Lin Yi and said gently, "Some things that others are not willing to do, but you think you should do, you should do it yourself first. But also
Yes, the so-called reputation is just a halo given to you by the outside world. Sometimes if you take it seriously, you will be meaningless. No matter how famous a person is, he also needs three meals a day, he also needs to change his clothes and show respect, he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also wants to
Get rid of birth, aging, illness and death. If for some of these reasons, if there are some elixirs in Meishan that can make me live longer, or even solve some problems in my practice, or help some of my disciples, then I will not be here.
Not a surprise.”
These words are very true and real.
Listening to these words, Lin Yi suddenly felt that the old man had become flesh and blood.
"There have never been true gods and Buddhas in this world. All great men and saints are the same flesh and blood on this battlefield. Don't think too highly of others." Ye Jing looked at him and said: "You haven't yet
Tell me your name."
"Lin Yi, a sixth-year student of Nantianyuan Tianjian, has just joined the Tiece Army. My father is Lin Wangbei." Lin Yi then realized his negligence, bowed to him and said.
Ye Jing was startled for a moment, then sincerely praised him, "He is indeed a general."
Lin Yi hesitated slightly. He was actually not in the mood for small talk right now. What he cared about was not the elixir produced in this area. He was not even worried about the ownership of the medicine king. What he was worried about was Chen Baoyuan.
, or Xiao Shufei.
"If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." The old man smiled warmly, "If there is anything you want me to help with, you can just say it, as long as I can help."
"The thing I want people to help me most is naturally about my parents." Lin Yi looked at him and said: "It's just that I know that even you are probably incompetent in this matter. I'm just worried about my parents now."
There was a problem with two of my friends.”
The old man listened patiently. He listened to Lin Yi talking about the battle between the two semi-saints from the beginning, to Li Qingming's death, and to discovering the conspiracy of these people in the Northern Wei Dynasty. There was surprise and appreciation deep in his eyes.
His expression became more and more intense.
However, what was actually the most surprising was Yuan Yan, who was following Lin Yi with her head lowered.
She naturally knew that Lin Yi's status in the army was very low, but she did not expect that a practitioner with such a low status as Lin Yi would have some kind of connection with her.
She did not expect that one of her subordinates would die in Lin Yi's hands.
She also did not expect that a young practitioner like Lin Yi, who was not even a qualified general, could discover her plan so quickly.
For some reason, she admired Lin Yi more and more, and felt Lin Yi was more and more dangerous.
"So you want to tell the Chen family or the Xiao family about this military situation as soon as possible through me?" After the old man listened, he looked at Lin Yi seriously and asked, "This is actually not your own business."
