Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 150: Changping
"The Taoist master's martial arts cultivation has reached the innate realm, right?" Lin Yi asked aloud.
Lin Yi's tone was calm, but his intention was so sudden that Zhen Yuanzi was stunned. He twirled his long beard with his hand, gave a slight ooh, and said: "The old Taoist only opened the profound veins ten years ago, so you kid is not surprised to see it! I don't know what you mean!"
Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Lin Yi continued: "The Taoist Master is very knowledgeable. Do you know what the path of martial arts will be like after reaching the innate level?"
"This -!" Zhen Yuanzi began to think deeply when he heard the words. He glanced at Lin Yi. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "There are only a few people in Dachang who have cultivated their internal strength to the innate state. Not yet. I heard that there are people who can break through the innate realm, but there are records in the classics. Although it is not clear, we can guess something. "
After Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment, he continued: "It is said that after reaching the innate realm in martial arts, there is an opportunity to enter the Tao through martial arts. It is no longer about tempering one's own true energy, but about absorbing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use. However, these statements are really vague and difficult to study! Therefore, the martial arts theory mentioned by Jianghu only contains martial arts, but no moral tradition! "
At this point, Zhen Yuanzi's expression condensed. He looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, then looked back and forth before saying in a low voice: "Could it be that your kid has reached that state?"
Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was so careful, Lin Yi also knew that this matter should not be taken carelessly. He shook his head and chuckled: "This is the first time I have heard a Taoist priest say so about that legendary realm. However, I seem... I I guess... I should be a little higher than Xiantian! The Taoist priest knows that there is a difference between Xiantian and Xiantian!"
Zhen Yuanzi sighed slightly and said with some annoyance: "You are so young, can't you finish what you said in one breath? You have offended me...!" He flicked his sleeves and wanted to give up, but he couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "That's not bad. There are high and low innate qualities. It's just how old you are! How can you cultivate such profound internal skills? This... that... ugh! I don't care if I know how old I am. Oh, it’s killing me!
Zhen Yuanzi wanted to ask Master Lin Yi's name, and also wanted to know what kind of skills he practiced. But the master is not alive, so it is difficult to ask questions, and the martial arts are a taboo among people in the world.
Even though he was already very old, he still had to talk to a young man in a roundabout way. Zhen Yuanzi really couldn't keep his old face, but he couldn't help but feel itchy. He could only bear it bitterly, but he felt uncomfortable. It's all because of this kid's unpredictable abilities. Who wouldn't be curious?
Lin Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "The opportunity has not come yet, maybe one day I will clear up the confusion with the Taoist priest."
Zhen Yuanzi grabbed Lin Yi's arm and said hurriedly: "This is what you said personally! I will remember it!"
Lin Yi chuckled: "That's natural!"
Only then did Zhen Yuanzi breathe a sigh of relief and said with some self-mockery: "I still want to accept you as my disciple! Who would have thought that your cultivation level is so unbelievable, it's just that you are too clumsy!"
"It's just that the Tianlong sect is looking far away from the near!" Zhen Yuanzi thought to himself, and felt a little sorry for the Tianlong sect. Only his master and disciple understand the abilities of the boy in front of him. For such a young man with outstanding martial arts skills to be called a horse-breeding disciple and treated with such contempt and indifference, the Tianlong Sect is destined to be unable to keep this hidden dragon in the pond.
Lin Yi smiled and did not comment on the meaning of Zhen Yuanzi's words. Instead, he changed his tone and said, "If the sect does not need a carriage, as the Taoist leader said, what should I do?"
"It's just a guess. You can only prepare for a rainy day. When things come to a close, you can adapt to the situation!" How the Tianlong Sect acts is not something Zhen Yuanzi can know, so he can only say this.
The Tianlong Sect and his party have finally left the grassland. They can reach Gaochang if they go forward, so there is no need for a guide. Sazarcuo and the two tribesmen also left the day before. When several prairie men turned around, Lin Yi returned the big bow to them.
The big bow hanging in front of the carriage was too much of an eyesore. Every time someone passed the carriage, the strange expression they showed was even Zhen Yuanzi sitting aside couldn't stand it.
The big bow has made everyone fearful. As expected, after the guides left, the expressions of these disciples became much calmer. At least in Lin Yi's view, these people were much less hostile to him.
If you don't make people jealous, you are mediocre. Lin Yi didn't want to recruit someone to care about him so much.
It was getting late, and the Tianlong faction walked south for a day, and finally arrived at Changping City, north of the capital.
A majestic city, half dyed by clouds.
Everyone had no time to review the beautiful scenery of the grassland, and they did not care to take in the sights of Changping City. They entered the city with the dust and fatigue of the setting sun, ending their more than 20-day trip to the grassland.
The inn where everyone from the Tianlong Sect stayed was called Changbei Inn. A large courtyard behind the inn is where everyone lives. Lin Yi and Jin Ke live in the same house.
Jin Ke diligently fetched a few buckets of water, and Lin Yi simply wiped it, then walked out of the room alone and walked to the restaurant in front.
The courtyard is very lively. There are all kinds of people wearing robes, long shirts and short shirts, and they are busy coming and going. Lin Yili stood in the courtyard and looked around curiously. When he found the restaurant, he was about to step up but looked intently into the distance.
In front of the restaurant, I saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, accompanied by two powerful followers, talking to Meng Shan respectfully. Elder Meng has always had a dignified demeanor. At this time, he was actually smiling and acting modestly.
Who is this? Lin Yi looked at the excitement, but couldn't understand it, so he stopped wondering and walked over.
When they arrived in front of the restaurant, the three people and Meng Shan had already walked in. Lin stepped into the lobby of the restaurant and saw noisy people, people drinking and dining, and waiters walking around, rubbing shoulders, and it was very lively. There were no empty seats in the spacious lobby.
Elder Meng and others were not in the lobby, so Lin Yi looked for the stairs on the second floor and walked over.
"Visitors, stop! The second floor has been reserved. Please take your meal elsewhere." A sharp shout stopped Lin Yi in his tracks. He looked carefully and saw that the two followers of the man who was talking to Elder Meng were guarding the entrance of the stairs, holding single swords on their waists, as if they were keeping strangers away.
Lin groaned, raised his head and looked upstairs. Elder Meng and others are all upstairs. Who has reserved the second floor?
"Boy, what are you looking at? Get out of here!" Seeing Lin Yi's dazed look, one of the men, a yellow-faced man in his thirties, shouted impatiently.
"Forgive me, sir, I'll take him away right now!" A waiter ran over in panic, nodded and bowed to the two people, and said in a low voice while not forgetting to quietly tug on Lin Yi's clothes. : "Sir, the lobby is full. Please wait for a moment and see if I can find a seat for you!"
Lin Yi stood still and smiled at the guy: "Who hired this upstairs? Why can't I go up?"
There was fear in the waiter's expression. He glanced at the two aggressive men and whispered in Lin Yi's ear: "Please listen to the villain and leave here quickly. We can't afford to offend these people." of."
At this time, two more middle-aged people walked in outside the door. They were both in their thirties or forties, with fair complexions, wearing robes and jade pendants hanging on their waists. They looked very imposing. The two men didn't look sideways and headed straight for the stairs.
"Stop the visitor, the upstairs is occupied, please get out!" The two attendants still spoke coldly and stretched out their hands to stop the visitor.
One of the people who came was a man with a black beard. Hearing this, he was startled, then his eyes widened and he shouted: "Who among you dare to block my way?"
A person behind the black-bearded man also took a step forward and shouted angrily: "This is Mr. Shi, the head of Changping Prefecture. You still don't apologize!"
The black-bearded man snorted coldly and was about to walk upstairs. Unexpectedly, the dark-faced man among the two followers took out a sign from his arms, waved it in front of the other party, and then pulled out half of the sword from his waist, and shouted coldly: "You are seeking death!"
The boy watched the gods fight and did not dare to say a word, but Lin Yi looked carefully. What the attendant took out was a gold token with a dragon and a phoenix carved on it, and the word "flat" on it.
I don’t know where these two followers came from, and even the officials of Changping Mansion didn’t look down on them. Lin Yi watched with interest.
When the man with the black beard saw the gold medal, his expression changed drastically. He quickly took a step back and saluted respectfully: "It turns out that the adults from Prince Ping's Mansion are here. I'm offended! Farewell!" After that, he took his companions around him, Without looking back, he walked out in a hurry, not even eating.
The young boy wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulled Lin Yi down again, and thought to himself, you should have seen it now, I'll find another place for you.
"Haha, it's so lively here! Hey! Junior Brother Lin, why don't you go up?" Jin Ke walked in with his arms swaying. After washing up, his whole aura was different from the past, which reminded Lin Yi of the way he looked when he first saw him.
After seeing Lin Yi, Jin Ke shrank his neck and smiled flatteringly.
Lin Yi pursed his lips at the stairs, shook his head and smiled helplessly, and then wanted to turn around and leave, going for a stroll on the street.
"Hey! You dare to block the path of my Junior Brother Lin, how brave! How have we, the Tianlong Sect, ever been wronged like this and yet you still don't get out of my way!"
Lin Yi turned around in surprise and saw Jin Ke rolling up his sleeves, pointing at the two followers, and yelling viciously, all of which were inconsistent with the intention of taking action. The two followers were just about to get angry, but their expressions were stagnant. They stepped aside and bowed: "It turns out they are from the Tianlong Sect. We are rude! Please!"
Jin Ke snorted, shook his arms triumphantly, and boasted: "You have to wait and see! If you make my junior brother angry, no one can save you!"
The two followers looked at each other, but they didn't know the origin of the junior brother they were talking about. They just followed orders and didn't say much.
"Junior brother, please go first!" After Jin Ke finished showing off his power, he carefully stepped aside with a smile on his face and greeted Lin Yi diligently.
The two followers were startled, with a bit of confusion on their faces.
Lin Yiyi nodded to the boy next to him, and climbed up the ladder with a smile on his face and no humility. His expression remained unchanged, but he became curious about the origins of these two followers.
Prince Ping's Mansion? Why did the Tianlong Sect become involved with a prince's palace?
