Chapter 340 A Big Gift Too
The moment he was stared at by the black-robed leader of the Celestial Sect in front of him, Lin Jiangnian felt as if the energy and blood in his body had solidified, and a fierce aura rushed towards his face.
My whole body felt as if it was frozen, and it became stiff instantly!
In an instant, Lin Jiangnian's face became extremely ugly. Unable to withstand the great pressure, he took a step back, staggered, and his face instantly turned pale.
Liu Su's eyes narrowed, her whole body suddenly tensed, and a hint of nervousness flashed through her eyes.
The bare hands hidden under the sleeves clenched subconsciously.
Lin Jiangnian was bent over, breathing heavily, with an indescribable look of horror on his pale face.
He clutched his chest and came to his senses after a while. He slowly stood up straight and raised his head to look at the leader of the Celestial Sect again.
Lin Jiangnian breathed quickly and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I have met the leader!"
Under the black robe, the strange mask was particularly penetrating, and its cold appearance made the leader's aura particularly oppressive.
The emotionless eyes behind the mask stared at Lin Jiangnian. After a while, the hoarse and emotionless voice sounded.
"Prince Lin, please come and be well!"
The words seemed polite, but they were said so without any emotion, which made it even more weird.
Lin Jiangnian's expression softened a little: "I have admired the reputation of the leader for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary..."
The black-robed leader's tone remained emotionless: "When did you hear about this sect?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke slowly: "I heard the saint often mention it before. The leader is both civil and military, and his martial arts is at its peak. There are few opponents in the world. His abilities are also outstanding, which are rare in this world... The leader is in charge of the Celestial God Sect, and his followers are spread all over the world. There are so many masters under my command..."
"The Heavenly God Sect is growing stronger and stronger, and it is developing vigorously under the leadership of the leader. Sooner or later, it will surely dominate the world for thousands of generations..."
"The leader will definitely become a legendary figure who will go down in history..."
"..."
The stone room was quiet.
Liu Su, who had a heart hanging on the side, couldn't help turning her head and looking at this guy.
How could he blurt out these shameless words of praise?
When had she mentioned the leader to him often?
What else is there for eternity?
Unify the world?
A name that will live on forever?
Just listening to these words, Liu Su felt ashamed... Didn't you say that he should talk less?
Why is he still boasting? !
Liu Su suppressed the impulse in her heart and looked at this guy expressionlessly.
But I saw that this guy's face was slightly pale, but he looked serious and determined, without any pretense...
If Liu Su hadn't known him well enough, he would have almost been deceived by him.
This guy...
How can you pretend to be like this?
Lin Jiangnian's sudden operation made even the black-robed leader slightly focused.
It seemed that he had not expected that the Prince Lin in front of him would praise him so much.
He stared at Lin Jiangnian, and after a while, he said hoarsely: "I don't accept this!"
Lin Jiangnian slowly shook his head: "The leader has misunderstood. I am not flattering you. It is all true feelings..."
"The leader is a rare top master in the world, and I admire him very much... Fortunately, I was recommended by a saint, so I can see the true face of the leader..."
"What I said just now are all my true feelings when I met the leader, and they are definitely not flattery..."
"..."
The surroundings fell into an eerie silence again.
The black-robed leader slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Su on the other side.
At this time, Liu Su had an even stranger expression on her face.
Looking at the leader, she remained expressionless and shook her head... She couldn't explain it either.
At the same time, I felt a little angry in my heart, what on earth did this guy want to do?
He is so obvious, isn't he afraid that the leader will be suspicious?
How could he look like he was being controlled and coerced?
Liu Su couldn't help but feel slightly anxious.
Before coming, the two had already discussed a countermeasure.
That night in the temple, the only people who knew about Lin Jiangnian's impersonation of Prince Lin's son were Liu Su's close confidants.
Originally, Liu Su planned to wait until the plan was successful before telling the truth to the leader. Unexpectedly, many accidents happened along the way, so that the plan failed and Liu Su had to change her original idea.
The issue of Lin Jiangnian pretending to be Prince Lin was left alone and not mentioned.
Therefore, the leader of Tianshen Sect does not know that Lin Jiangnian is a fake prince. According to the original plan, Liu Su should have controlled the real Prince Lin with his love Gu.
Love Gu was a strange poison of the Holy Religion of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Family. Once planted, it was almost impossible to untie it.
Under normal circumstances, the life of Prince Lin would always be in Liu Su's hands. This is also the reason why the leader of the Heavenly God Sect met with Lin Jiangnian in person.
As a result, Lin Jiangnian and Liu Suyi combined their efforts and decided to use their plan. Lin Jiangnian, as the prince controlled by Liu Su's poison, followed Liu Su to see the leader.
Although your life is under control, you should indeed be more careful. When facing the leader, it is normal to be low-key and flatter...
Even when facing the leader's temptation just now, Lin Jiangnian's pale and irresistible reaction had no flaws at all.
But next, will this guy go too far?
The black-robed leader still showed no emotion. Hidden behind the mask, only a pair of dark eyes were revealed, and he glanced at Lin Jiangnian coldly: "In terms of masters, your father is the best master in the world!"
Lin Jiangnian said calmly, "This does not affect my admiration for the leader. In terms of martial arts, I think the leader is even better than you..."
Liu Su turned her head away without leaving a trace... She was almost unable to hold it.
The black-robed leader was also silent, staring at Lin Jiangnian, and suddenly sneered: "Prince Lin, you are indeed different!"
Then, he said coldly: "Do you know why our sect asked you to come here today?"
Lin Jiangnian subconsciously glanced at Liu Su and saw that Liu Su's eyes had moved to the side.
What did she mean?
"I don't know, please tell me clearly!"
Lin Jiangnian's reaction was seen by the black-robed leader.
He stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes and said expressionlessly: "The saint of our sect came to your Lin Wang Mansion not to harm you, and will not take your life."
Lin Jiangnian nodded in agreement: "I know, otherwise the saint would have taken my life long ago."
The leader said coldly: "Our sect only wants one thing. The saint has mentioned it to you, right?"
This time Lin Jiangnian did not play dumb again, and asked: "The leader wants...Xuan Yang Tu?"
"That's right!"
The leader said coldly: "Our sect wants to borrow the Xuan Yang Tu from your Lin Wang Mansion to take a look, and then naturally return it intact!"
Return it intact?
Can you believe this?
"I don't know why the leader wants the Xuan Yang Tu?"
Lin Jiangnian asked tentatively.
The black-robed leader said in a deep voice: "There are some martial arts in our sect that are inexplicable, and only the Xuanyang Map has the answer."
"It is an honor for me to help you solve your martial arts puzzles."
Lin Jiangnian nodded, then changed his mind and sighed: "But the leader doesn't know, and I am powerless, and I don't know the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Map."
As soon as the voice fell, he felt the coldness of the black-robed leader in front of him.
Lin Jiangnian said again: "I have no intention of deceiving the leader, and the saint can testify to this... I have searched the entire Linwang Mansion, but there is no whereabouts of the Xuanyang Map..."
Seeing the black-robed leader staring at him, Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply and said helplessly: "I also asked my father, but my father may be afraid that I will ruin the reputation of the Lin family, so he didn't tell me..."
"..."
It must be said that Lin Jiangnian's acting skills are very good at this moment. He completely played a timid and weak dandy prince to perfection.
The black-robed leader stared at Lin Jiangnian for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Su.
Liu Su lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Leader, what he said is indeed true... I have searched the Lin Wang Mansion, but there is indeed no clue of the Xuan Yang Map..."
At this point, Liu Su hesitated and asked again: "Could it be that this Xuan Yang Map does not exist in the first place?"
"After all, the Xuan Yang Map has always been just a rumor, and no one has ever really seen it... Could it be that it is just a trick of Lin Hengzhong?"
The black-robed leader put his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly: "Impossible!"
"The Xuan Yang Map must exist!"
The leader's voice was firm.
Liu Su lowered his eyes and said nothing, thinking in his heart.
Leader, why are you so sure that the Xuan Yang Map must exist?
At this time, Lin Jiangnian on the side suddenly said: "Master, I have a good idea, I wonder if I should tell you or not?"
The black-robed master stared at him: "What?"
Lin Jiangnian pondered for a while and said: "Master wants the Xuanyang Map, but there is no need to go through so much trouble... The master asked the saint to poison me, so troublesome and trivial, just to want the Xuanyang Map..."
"Although I don't know the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Map, if the master thinks that the Xuanyang Map is in the Linwang Mansion, there is actually a better way..."
As he said, Lin Jiangnian looked at the black-robed master in front of him: "My father has always valued the masters of the world. With the master's martial arts, if he visits openly, my father will definitely treat him with courtesy..."
"Although the Xuanyang Map is the treasure of the Linwang Mansion, it is not impossible to pass it on... At that time, I will say a few good words for the master, maybe my father will lend the Xuanyang Map to the master for observation and study..."
"Master, what do you think of my idea?"
"..."
The surroundings were silent again.
Liu Su's expression was slightly dull, and her red lips were slightly open, and she didn't close them for a long time.
She stared at Lin Jiangnian in a daze, and her eyes were already difficult to describe astonishment...
What is this guy doing?
He is actually trying to win over the leader? !
Is he trying to win over the Tianshen Sect to his Linwang Mansion?
Using the Xuanyang Map as a lure to get the leader to work for their Linwang Mansion?
His calculations are really brilliant!
Where does he get the courage? !
...
The black-robed leader was obviously stunned. After a moment of silence, he seemed to gradually come back to his senses.
"You want to win over our sect?"
The black-robed leader said coldly.
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "To be precise, this should be cooperation, a win-win situation... If the leader is willing, it will be a good thing for my Linwang Mansion!"
"Ha!"
A sneer came from under the strange bronze mask.
Obviously, he didn't comment on Lin Jiangnian's suggestion.
How could the Tianshen Sect surrender to the Linwang Mansion?
"Our sect only wants the Xuan Yang Diagram!"
The sect leader glanced at Lin Jiangnian coldly and suddenly said, "You, know the Xuan Yang Heart Method, right?"
Lin Jiangnian's heart skipped a beat, his expression calm, and he nodded, "I have indeed learned some."
"Some?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "I am stupid, and I have indeed learned the Xuan Yang Heart Method, but I don't remember much. I only know the basics of what I have learned, and I don't understand the rest..."
The black-robed leader stared at Lin Jiangnian: "You, write it out!"
Sure enough!
Lin Jiangnian's heart condensed, here he comes!
Before coming, he vaguely guessed the leader's purpose.
It is rumored that the Xuanyang Heart Method comes from the Xuanyang Picture, and the two are of the same origin. This leader has worked hard to get the Xuanyang Picture, so it is very likely that he will set his sights on the Xuanyang Heart Method.
As the Lin family's unique family heirloom, the only one who knows this heart method is Lin Jiangnian, except for Lin Hengzhong.
And this is probably the reason why the leader wants to meet Lin Jiangnian in person today.
"Leader, do you want the Xuanyang Heart Method?"
Lin Jiangnian asked tentatively.
The leader nodded expressionlessly: "Since there is no Xuanyang map, there may be something that our sect wants in this Xuanyang Heart Method!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Xuanyang Heart Method is my family's unique learning, and it should not be passed on... But since the leader wants it, I can pass it on to the leader."
"However, I am dull and my memory is not good. I may not remember the first level of Xuanyang Heart Method clearly..."
The leader ignored Lin Jiangnian and turned to look at Liu Su: "Prepare paper and pen!"
Liu Su nodded, turned around and left to get paper and pen.
The leader stared at Lin Jiangnian: "You write!"
"Write down all the Xuanyang Heart Method formulas you know... If you hide half a word or write randomly, you know the consequences!"
A sharp coldness came over him, and Lin Jiangnian's face turned slightly pale. He said: "Don't worry, leader, I will never hide a word!"
Seeing that Lin Jiangnian was so obedient, the leader's indifference was slightly reduced.
Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Liu Su, who was holding a pen and paper, looking at him expressionlessly.
There seemed to be a flash of worry in his eyes.
Lin Jiangnian looked normal, and looked at the leader again: "Leader, it's dark in here, can I go outside to write?"
The leader stared at him expressionlessly and nodded.
Lin Jiangnian turned and left the stone room, and the light was bright.
"Please help me grind the ink, Saint Liu!"
Lin Jiangnian spread the rice paper on the stone table and glanced at Liu Su.
Liu Su said nothing, walked aside and started grinding ink.
Not far away, the black-robed leader stood there, staring at Lin Jiangnian with a pair of cold eyes.
Under his gaze, Lin Jiangnian slowly picked up the pen, and when he looked up, he saw that Liu Su, who was grinding ink beside him, looked more and more worried.
Obviously, she didn't expect the leader to come for the Xuanyang Heart Method.
To be precise, she was more afraid that if the leader got the Xuanyang Heart Method, he would harm Lin Jiangnian...
Lin Jiangnian gave her a comforting look.
Then, he stared at the rice paper on the table.
You want the Xuanyang Heart Method?
Lin Jiangnian had expected and prepared.
This Xuanyang Heart Method is the Lin family's unique skill, and it is the bottom of the box. Lin Jiangnian will not easily pass it out.
But if he doesn't write it today, he may find it difficult to leave here alive. If he writes it randomly, it won't work.
This leader's martial arts are unfathomable, and he has a thorough study of martial arts. If you conceal it or write it randomly, it will be easy for him to see the clues.
Then, it can only be written for real!
The Xuanyang Heart Method is extremely strong and fierce, and the formula of the heart method is complicated and extremely complex. A wrong sentence or a missing sentence will make a world of difference.
At the same time, not everyone can practice this heart method, and the selection of physical fitness and talent is extremely strict.
Secondly, the Xuanyang Heart Method is extremely dangerous in the early stages of practicing. If you are not careful, you may easily go astray. Even Lin Jiangnian almost went wrong at the beginning of practicing the Xuanyang Heart Method and almost went astray.
And the most important point is...
If you want to practice the Xuanyang Heart Method, you must also use medicine to temper your body. Otherwise, at the least, the meridians will be blocked and your martial arts will be useless.
At the worst, the blood will surge back and you will die on the spot!
This is the most important thing!
But Lin Jiangnian obviously did not intend to write down this taboo.
He slowly picked up the pen and wrote down the first level formula of the Xuanyang Heart Method on the rice paper!
He planned to give this Tianshen Sect leader a big gift!
"..."
