It is said that the imperial concubine's secret envoy from the distant Qingdu will visit Jingnan City in person. In the name of inspection, he will secretly discuss important matters with the King of Zhennan.
This is a secret.
The citizens only knew that a big shot was coming, so they prepared in advance, saying that they wanted to show off the unique features of Jingnancheng.
Ordinary soldiers also know that there is a big shot from Qingdu, but who he is is not clear.
As for the generals who were higher up in rank, they probably knew about this matter. They were almost all close followers of King Zhennan and kept secret about it.
"There really is no airtight wall in the world."
When Yi Lin was bored, she played with the "Spirit Swallowing Fire" on her fingertips, thinking about how she should behave in this chaotic world.
That unlucky general was mentally traumatized after Yi Lin used "Spirit Swallowing Fire" to violently invade his memory. He is in a coma and has not yet woken up.
King Zhennan naturally put this matter on the head of the "Apocalypse Assassin".
The Empress Dowager's envoy is expected to arrive in Jingnan City at the beginning of the fourteenth year of the Jisheng calendar.
It's been almost a month since now.
…
The middle of the twelfth lunar month.
Daytime.
In Jingnan City, the sky is covered with dark clouds and the snow is as heavy as cotton wool.
Yi Lin sneaked into Zhennan Prince's Mansion again.
At this time, the King of Zhennan was not at home. He braved the wind and snow and ran on the streets to hunt down the assassins. He was very dedicated.
After spending half a month eating and drinking here, I can say that I am more familiar with Zhennan Prince Yi Lin than my own home.
He went straight to the East Wing Villa.
When Yi Lin arrived, she was surprised to find that Senior Brother Jian was rarely serious and was instructing his junior sister Xia Xiaoman in her practice.
"Your qualifications are good, but your temperament is unstable and needs to be improved. If you have a senior brother or two, you will be able to step into the inner door in no time."
Jian Nanchun was seen placing his natal flying sword "Qianji" in mid-air to set up a formation, while he was sitting under the eaves while Xia Xiaoman sat in the snow, his face turned purple from the cold, while he was vomiting to keep out the cold.
Yi Lin looked calm, sat down next to Jian Nanchun, and said calmly: "Why do you have to practice cold in the snow? Is there anything special about it?"
"That's natural," Jian Nanchun was stunned. He didn't notice when Junior Brother Lin entered the other garden, but then he thought about how Junior Brother Lin Yi had won the favor of Senior Chen Bei and had learned the secret technique of "Trail Tracking Technique".
While envious, he suddenly realized it and replied:
"Cultivation is all about going against nature. Although monks in the Naqi stage do not dare to go against nature, practicing in a harsh environment can more easily stimulate their potential and break through the realm. Junior Sister Xia Xiaoman's body is full of aura, and she is stuck at the ninth level of Naqi.
For a period of time, what she lacks now is not pure cultivation, but a sudden inspiration and a breakthrough on the spot."
"That's it!" Yi Lin suddenly realized: "This is what is called... When heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first harden his mind and freeze his skin. If he freezes to death, he will be dead. If he doesn't freeze to death, he will become a blockbuster."
"What a good sentence!" Jian Nanchun turned around and looked at Junior Brother Lin with special eyes: "Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Lin has such literary talent."
Yi Lin: "A prize, a prize!"
Swordman: "You should be praised, you should be praised!"
Yi Lin: "Ashamed, ashamed!"
Swordman: "Wonderful and wonderful!"
Yi Lin: "It's okay, it's okay!"
While the junior and junior brothers were sitting under the eaves hiding from the snow and exchanging business blows, Xia Xiaoman, who was sitting alone in the snow, listened to the conversation between the two, and his face couldn't help but become darker and darker, more and more purple, with a hint of pink.
Black, with purple in the middle, and many changes. Suddenly, Xia Xiaoman's bones all over his body made snapping sounds, and white smoke came out from Tianling Point. His breath swayed, and his whole temperament was completely different from before.
The two people under the eaves stopped boasting at the same time, looked at Xia Xiaoman, and said in unison: "Oh, a breakthrough!"
Under the stimulation of the words of his two senior brothers, Xia Xiaoman finally made a breakthrough from the ninth level of Qi Acceptance to the first level of Qi Training, which is gratifying.
In fact, when Yi Lin came, Xia Xiaoman was almost suffocated and just missed the finishing touch.
The exciting conversation between Yi Lin and Jian Nanchun was equivalent to a final kick in Xia Xiaoman's ass, causing her to break through.
Xia Xiaoman angrily ran into the room to boil water and take a bath.
The remaining two brothers and sisters were still sitting under the eaves, chatting with each other.
suddenly.
"In January of the next year, the Empress Dowager will send a secret envoy here to have a secret meeting with the King of Zhennan."
"What? Is there anything else like this?" Jian Nanchun was stunned for a moment, then put two fingers between his ears and stroked his long hair up and down, and said with a smile: "But what does this matter have to do with my Tianjian Sect?"
Yi Lin: "Don't forget the relationship between junior sister and the Empress Dowager. Junior sister hates the empress dowager to the core. Although she is just a secret emissary, if junior sister knows about this, she might do something impulsive."
"Junior Brother Lin is far-sighted and what he said makes sense." Jian Nanchun pondered for a moment and nodded: "Then we will stay for a few more days and we will leave today to join Junior Sister Chao."
"That's fine, we can just go when we live more or less."
Yi Lin temporarily agreed to this plan.
Since Xia Xiaoman cared about family ties and was unwilling to kill King Zhennan, there was no other reason for them to stay in King Zhennan's mansion except to eat and drink.
As the two talked, they decided on their next itinerary.
When he thought of Junior Sister Chao Rushuang and her peerless face as cold as ice, Jian Nanchun felt as if he had been struck by ice and fire, and his heart felt hot and cold at the same time.
"Yes, Junior Brother Lin..."
While Jian Nanchun was holding his precious baby nails in his arms, he remembered something and couldn't help but look at his junior brother eagerly: "Senior brother, I have something to ask of you. I wonder, junior brother... can you forgive me for my presumption?"
Yi Lin clutched her chest warily: "It depends on how presumptuous you are."
"I wonder if Senior Chenbei's secret technique, 'Secret Technique of Tail Tracking', can senior brother learn it?"
So that’s what happened!
Tell me earlier!
Don't use such misleading eyes and tone!
Yi Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not expect that Jian Nanchun, as the second master of the Discipline Hall, would covet his stealth skills.
"Unfortunately……"
Yi Lin was about to refuse.
After all, the stealth skill is a skill given by the tower, not a skill that can be practiced independently.
But just when Yi Lin said three words, ready to end Jian Nanchun's wild ambition, Yi Lin was suddenly stunned and could not say the next words.
In fact, a long, long, long time ago, Yi Lin had a ridiculous idea.
Since "skills" are fully mastered and practiced, they can transition to "strengthening" and become the true power of an apostle.
So,
Thinking reversely, can human beings learn a certain "skill" through practice?
Of course, this idea flashed through Yi Lin's mind, but he didn't take it seriously.
First, the people he came into contact with before were all apostles, and each had his own chance in the trial;
Secondly, Yi Lin didn't have the chance to try it either.
And when Jian Nanchun expressed his thoughts, it seemed that a switch in Yilin's heart was activated, making Yilin ready to act. She couldn't help but want to take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a human experiment on Senior Brother Jian.
"Really want to learn?"
Yi Lin was confirming how determined Jian Nanchun was.
"real!"
Jian Nanchun nodded vigorously.
"How true!"
"Comparable to the sincerity towards my junior sister!"
"Great kindness!" Yi Lin patted Jian Nanchun's shoulder hard and showed an interesting smile: "Since Senior Brother Jian has worked tirelessly and has perseverance and determination that are different from ordinary people, and Senior Chen Bei has not mentioned it, this peerless skill
It is not allowed to be passed on to others, so my junior brother will make the decision for Senior Chen Bei and teach you these profound secret techniques."
"You are indeed my good junior brother!"
Jian Nanchun was overjoyed.
…
Since that showdown failed.
King Zhennan never came to the East Wing Villa to plot evil against his niece.
He seemed to be a changed person.
In addition to searching for "unnecessary" Apocalypse assassins in the city all day long, he only ordered his maids to come to the East Chamber Villa every day to take the orders placed by Xia Xiaoman and Jian Nanchun, and deliver food and daily necessities on time. The rest of the time, he and
Transparent people are no different.
This really makes them think that their dignified Tianjianmen Golden Pill monks and the eldest princess of Daqing are just eating and drinking in Jingnan City!
Xia Xiaoman almost forgot about the danger that day.
From time to time, I lament that the royal family still has family affection in their hearts.
She relented again.
Yi Lin did not comment on this.
He speculated that King Zhennan still had plans for Xia Xiaoman, but firstly, he was afraid of Jian Nanchun's strength; secondly, he was worried about the harassment of the "Apocalypse Assassin"; thirdly, the Empress Dowager's secret envoy would arrive in Jingnancheng, and King Zhennan
There is no time to pay attention to Xia Xiaoman at the moment; for the fourth time, brother and sister Xia Xiaoman and Jian Nanchun did nothing special except eating and drinking together.
Therefore, Xia Xiaoman and King Zhennan had just created such a strange peaceful situation.
…
Yi Lin was so happy.
He began to try to teach Jian Nanchun in his own way.
Yi Lin was wondering whether she could recreate the effect of "following the body like a shadow" in the monk's way.
today,
sunny.
Winter has arrived, the weather is dry and the wind is biting.
Jian Nanchun was meditating silently in the middle of the yard, eyes closed tightly.
The multifunctional flying sword "Qianji" dutifully hovers in the air and acts as a facade.
Xia Xiaoman was sitting under the eaves. On the plate at her feet was a plate of hot roasted bait and a pot of hot tea. While she was eating, she stared curiously at the motionless Senior Brother Jian in the yard.
, and Senior Brother Lin who was circling around Senior Brother Jian.
"The art of tail tracking, as the name suggests, the key point of its practice lies in one word - 'shadow'!"
Yi Lin walked around behind Jian Nanchun, and between her breaths, a puff of white mist came out like a dragon, calling behind Jian Nanchun.
The art of trailing?
As the name suggests?
Is it about "shadow"?
Jian Nanchun closed his eyes and listened, always feeling that there was something wrong with what he said.
