Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 279: The Dead
Early in the morning of the second day, Meng Shan came to Lin Yi and asked if he would set off.
No longer refusing, and without the usual politeness, Lin Yi looked at the haggard Elder Meng and nodded solemnly.
Everyone had been waiting in the yard for a long time. When they saw Lin Yi, who looked a little pale, step out of the door, they stared in silence. Lin Yi didn't want to think about the meaning behind that look, but just nodded slightly and walked out of the inn.
Seeing this, Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng hurriedly followed. Their concern was beyond words. Lin Yi's steps were steady, which made everyone who was sad a little relieved.
Lin Yi's injuries seemed serious, but not very serious. This was also thanks to the Xuantian Shield hidden in his body, which saved him at a critical moment. After a night of breathing, his injuries had healed for the most part.
When the uncle who stayed in the horse last night came, Lin Yi had noticed it. But this person did not show up, which made him feel very bad.
In his spiritual sense, Lin Yi sensed the strength of the other party's cultivation, which was no less than that of Lan Qi'er he had seen before. But such a master in the foundation-building period was hiding in the dark. What exactly was he doing? Was he here to uphold justice, or to deliver a fatal blow to himself?
If he was here to uphold justice, he was still hiding when his life was at stake. It was obvious that he did not care about the life and death of the people of the Tianlong Sect and did not want to worry about it. Since this was not an open-minded person, Lin Yi concluded that this person would protect the disciples of his own sect.
And would a master attack him by surprise? Lin Yi just thought about it and put this idea behind his mind. Then, this person's intention was not difficult to guess!
The evil done by the disciples of Jihai Sect had to be dealt with by Su Ma. If what he did caused the wrath of heaven and people and could not be resolved, then this foundation-building master would inevitably show up and make a conclusion for the matter.
In a short time, Lin Yi's mind turned quickly, and he had a rough guess about this elder of Su Ma.
Therefore, when Su Ma was about to continue killing, Lin Yi did not hesitate to stop him, but he was also secretly on guard against this person who was hiding his head and showing his tail. If this person did not exist, he could not bear it and it was hard to say whether he would kill the other party. He had killed all the cultivators of the ninth level, so how could he, Lin Yi, be afraid of this seventh level cultivator!
This master of the foundation-building period hid in the dark, which made Lin Yi afraid of the rat. If he killed Su Ma in anger, Elder Jiang would die in vain, and Su Ma's uncle would definitely take action, and I was afraid that he would not be able to escape this disaster. Even if he sacrificed the green cloud yarn, he could not escape the pursuit of the flying sword. What's worse is that the other party would also vent his anger on these people of the Tianlong Sect, and the final result can be imagined.
Lin Yi did not dare to confront Su Ma rashly, nor did he want the other party to see his true colors. In desperation, he deliberately spoke provocatively, put the other party's sect and elders on the topic, and finally led to the invisible person.
I thought that even if the other elder was protecting his disciples, he would consider the face of the immortal sect and speak a fair word. But I didn't expect that this person's mind was so narrow, and he also hit himself with a palm. This is man's plan is not as good as God's plan.
When that palm came, Lin Yi naturally did not dare to be careless, this was really facing a master in the foundation-building period. When the tortoise shell was knocked away, he still had a way to dodge, but he just mobilized the Xuantian Shield to protect his heart and took the other party's blow.
Although the attack of the master in the foundation-building period was not done with all his strength, it was not something that he, a cultivator in the Qi training period, could easily resist. With low cultivation and inferior skills, he could only be beaten and manipulated. Isn't the behavior of Elder Jiang who went to his death like this!
Elder Jiang used his life to exchange for the chance of survival of his disciples. Lin Yi was seriously injured, just wanting the other party to stop. This move was humiliating, but there was no choice! Elder Jiang didn't even want to give up his life, so what did Lin Yi's tragic appearance mean.
The other party had killed seven people. If he didn't want to kill all the people from the Tianlong Sect, it was time to stop. But the elder of the Jihai Sect was really shameless. He claimed to be a master. After teaching Lin Yi a lesson, he also took away the tortoise shell magic weapon and flying sword. He had to endure all this.
The sun rose from the east, and there was no warmth. The dock was as noisy as yesterday, and it was still so strange. Beiji Island, like the countless islands passed along the way, is unforgettable, but unbearable to think of.
The ship raised the sail and headed towards the end of this journey.
Back on the ship, Lin Yi stayed indoors again. Everyone knew that he had an injury and needed to rest, so no one dared to disturb him. Only Meng Shan came to the door every day to say he was safe.
This was both a notification and a report, so that Lin Yi would know that the ship was safe. When Elder Jiang was here, this was Meng Shan's routine. But now, this person has changed to Lin Yi.
"Mr. Lin, the ship is safe. If you have no instructions, Meng Shan will go!" Meng Shan bowed and saluted, his voice a little low. There was still no movement in the room, and it has been like this for half a month.
After waiting for a while, Meng Shan stood up. Just as he was about to move his feet, the door opened without wind, and Lin Yi's voice came from inside: "Elder Meng, please come in!"
After hesitating for a while, Meng Shan still walked in, but saw the jade chips all over the floor in the room, and he couldn't help but be startled. And Lin Yi just got off the couch, rolled up his robe sleeves, and a small whirlwind blew away, rolling up the jade chips and throwing them out of the window.
"Meng Shan greets Mr. Lin!" Feeling that he had lost his composure, Meng Shan stepped back and saluted.
Lin Yi looked a little tired, and shook his head and said, "With Elder Meng like this, it seems like we are becoming strangers!" As he said that, he invited the other party to sit down and talk.
Meng Shan was only in his forties, but he was unshaven and had a decadent expression. He looked like someone in his fifties or sixties, which showed that he was not having an easy time these days. Seeing that Lin Yi's behavior was not pretentious, he thanked him and strode to the table to sit down. However, his eyes were dim and he just stared at the corner in silence.
Lin Yi looked at Meng Shan, thought for a while and said, "Since you and I have the same friendship, it would be more comfortable to call me Lin Yi in the future." He ignored the other person's response and continued, "In the past, you and I had different identities. , and did not have the chance to talk to each other, which made Elder Meng have a grudge against me, Lin Yi. "
Hearing this, Meng Shan turned around in surprise, only to see Lin Yi waving his hand and saying: "My parents died when I was young. It was my master who saved me, taught me martial arts, and taught me how to be a human being. Master's kindness After three years of mourning, I wanted to go back to my hometown and live with my family, but I have inherited this path of cultivation. , I still have to go on. Later, I arrived at Tianlong Sect."
In the past, in the Tianlong Sect, Lin Yi and Meng Shan had a very different status and could not speak like they do today. Meng Shan had doubts about Lin Yi's identity many times. Even if he knew Lin Yi's true identity, it was because of Elder Jiang that his grudge still existed.
The inner disciples died one by one, which was heartbreaking. Elder Jiang's departure was like the sky falling. After Meng Shan was sad, how could he not feel depressed? Even though Daxia was getting closer, his future became increasingly blurry.
Elder Jiang ordered his disciples to obey Lin Yi's instructions before he died. Mengshan didn't dare to disobey, but he also felt uneasy. Lin Yi is only eighteen years old this year. Can such a young man of unknown origin be able to assume the great trust of the Tianlong Sect? What he didn't expect was that Lin Yi, who had been shut up for half a month, would say something like this to him.
"My master once taught Taoist Master Zhen Yuanzi, which is why he is worthy of my senior brother." Lin Yi's words made Meng Shan a little embarrassed. The other party was so open and honest, which still made him a little flustered.
Not knowing what to do for a moment, Mengshan patted his thigh with his palm, and the expression on his face became much richer.
"Since I went out with the Tianlong Sect, I have made several moves without any other intention. I insist that morality should be the first priority, and that it is over. You and I don't have to take it to heart. The Tianlong Sect took me in and let me travel on the same boat. Everything you have done in the past can be regarded as repaying the friendship between the Tianlong Sect. "
Lin Yi's expression was calm, his tone was gentle, and he said alone: "But after Elder Jiang knew my identity, he didn't take it personally. Instead, he treated me with courtesy. It can be said that he was very kind! When he died, the old man will also The Tianlong Sect has entrusted me with important matters, and I want to refuse, but I feel uneasy!"
"This is the jade slip left by Elder Jiang. It contains the final destination of this trip and the explanation of related matters. This is the spiritual stone. There are more than 400 pieces. I have not touched it at all." Lin Yi said, taking out He picked up the jade slip and a small bag and placed them in front of Meng Shan.
