Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 257: Tragedy
The sea breeze blew, and Elder Jiang's silver beard fluttered, looking tired and desolate. Seeing Lin Yi coming, he stepped forward and bowed, but soon he sighed again. "Let the ship go at full speed!" Lin Yi said softly. Elder Jiang nodded, and the two walked side by side to the ship building. After sitting down in Lin Yi's room, Elder Jiang pondered for a while before saying, "Fellow Daoist Lin stopped the enemy alone, and I owe you another favor!" Lin Yi shook his head expressionlessly. Elder Jiang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I hope you will tell me the details later. Otherwise, I will be uneasy!" Lin Yi took off the purple gold gourd from his waist, looked at it, and put it down. He flipped his palm, took out a jar of wine, stretched out his hand to pat open the mud seal, raised it and drank a few big mouthfuls, and then put the jar of wine on the table with a "grab". After exhaling the alcohol, Lin Yi slowly said, "In Beizhu City, including the two who came later, I killed eight Qi training disciples of the Zheng family." "What? You killed five of them in the end? What is the identity of the later ones? What is their cultivation?" Elder Jiang asked, pulling his beard tightly. "Although it was also a fluke, I still killed them all. They were two elders of the Zheng family. If I am not mistaken, one is at the eighth level of Qi training, and the other is at the ninth level of Qi training." Lin Yi closed his eyes and said lightly. Elder Jiang leaned against his body, staring blankly at Lin Yi with a wooden expression, and took a breath of cold air. He didn't say anything polite, grabbed the wine jar on the table, and took a few gulps. After his breath was even, he put down the wine jar and said in a loud voice, "Good kill!" The eyebrows moved, and Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes. He thought that Elder Jiang would have too many worries because of this, but who would have thought that the other party's words showed a rare pleasure. "Elder Jiang, aren't you worried about the Zheng family?" "Of course I am. I know you are also worried about the power of the Zheng family. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much! I couldn't stand these fellow practitioners in my early years. They are even worse than those who curry favor with the powerful and bully the weak in the martial arts world. I have no choice but to keep my cultivation level low. I can't see them and I can't be bothered by them. Fortunately, I returned to Dashang and Jiuqi Mountain and was worshipped as the supreme elder in the sect. I can practice meditation in peace on weekdays, away from the hustle and bustle of the world. My two brothers, one is not as good as me in cultivation, and the other is not even older than me. For the safety of Jiuqi Mountain and the continuation of the sect, they can still live for a few more years. 's strength. And I am already a hundred years old, and I don't have many years left to live. Therefore, for this trip with my disciples, I took it upon myself to shoulder this responsibility. But you can also see that along the way, let alone the wind and waves, those poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are okay, as long as you are lucky enough, you can always make it through and come back alive. These are not scary, what is scary? Aren't they these fellow immortal cultivators? They are more unpredictable than hurricanes, and they are more cruel than beasts. I am traveling with so many young people, and I am trembling with fear and treading on thin ice every day! They are all considered masters in the arena of Da Shang, but in the eyes of immortal cultivators, they are no different from ants. Don't. One careless move will result in loss of life. I just want to take them to Daxia safely, and then bring them back alive. But what about now? Although we deviated from the route due to the storm and are traveling on an unfamiliar sea route. And natural disasters are not to be feared, but the ** is the most serious disaster! If it weren't for your full support along the way, I'm afraid this trip would have been aborted halfway. How can I not be angry about this? I also hate these unscrupulous fellow travelers! But my cultivation is low, and I can only swallow my anger. Do you think I am humiliated and don't want to kill everyone in a rage? A man should hold a sword to kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a hundred miles. Looking down on all directions and making the villains tremble in fear, what a pleasure it is! You know, I also had a time when I was full of blood. Now, what does it matter if Fellow Daoist Lin killed the Zheng family? Revenge for hatred and grievance for grievances should be done by men. Previously, you killed Yan Shouxin of the Yan family to avenge the shame of my Tianxiao sect disciples; now you have killed the Zheng family, so that the three Zhenyuanzi have avenged their blood feud. So I say, you killed well! Even if you have a mortal feud with the other party, it doesn’t matter. I will die with you and get what I want! "Elder Jiang said so much in one breath, and he couldn't help himself. He was so heroic that he picked up the wine jar and drank a few more mouthfuls. Elder Jiang is not afraid of death. His only worry is that he can't bring these disciples back alive. And when he needs to make a life-and-death decision, he will not back down! Now, facing the impending life-and-death crisis, this white-haired old man entrusted his life and death to the seventeen-year-old Lin Yi! Lin Yi turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said seriously: "Elder Jiang is responsible for the safety of everyone on the boat, so you must not talk about life and death. If the Zheng family comes after us, I, Lin Yi, will deal with it." Elder Jiang glared and was about to get angry. Lin Yi waved his hand and said in a broken voice: "Don't be impatient! In our opinion, the Zheng family is just a small family. Even if there are masters in the foundation-building stage, they will not catch up for a while. Even if they catch up, we can only respond to the situation at that time, and we must not let the people on the ship be implicated. Humph! Sooner or later, I will come to the Zheng family!" Elder Jiang's expression slowed down, hummed, nodded and said: "Friend Lin has such a cultivation at such a young age. He can remain calm in the face of a powerful enemy and kill all the enemies. This courage and wit are beyond the reach of ordinary people. In the future, Fellow Lin will definitely achieve something unattainable. It's a pity that I won't live to that time!" Lin Yi shook his head and said nothing to Elder Jiang's praise. What will happen in the future, he can't think so far! The two talked for a while, and after Elder Jiang said goodbye, Lin Yi walked out of the cabin. He was restless and couldn't calm down for a while. He wanted to feel the sea breeze and walk around.
Walking to the room where Zhen Yuanzi lived before his death, he saw Yuan Qing and the other two sorting out the master's belongings, and Lin Yi walked in. "Little Master Uncle!" Yuan Qing and the other two had tears on their faces and looked sad. Holding a few jade pendants in his hands, Yuan Qing said: "Little Master Uncle, this is what the master left behind, and the wine pot he loved the most. He said that you gave it to him specially. The master has been talking about it behind his back several times." Lin Yi took the jade pendant, rubbed it in his hand, and sighed: "Alas! This jade pendant was also given to him specially. If he wears it with him, he can avoid a disaster." "You should keep these, and you must use them when you need them. I will refine more for you two to defend yourself." Lin Yi returned the jade pendant to Yuan Qing, and picked up the white jade wine pot obtained from the underwater city. Seeing things reminds people of people, which makes people sad! "Put them all away, it's just a thought! And this, you two keep it for self-defense!" Lin Yi took out two long swords, which were used by the children of the Zheng family. Although they were not flying swords, they were also low-grade magic weapons, incomparable to ordinary iron. After the two brothers thanked him, they accepted the long swords. Lin Yi waved his hand and walked out slowly. When he reached the stairs, he saw Shi Jian bowing and inviting him, so he followed him to Bian Zhenduo's room. The remaining eleven people of the Canghai Gang were in the room. When they saw Lin Yi coming, they knelt down and saluted under the leadership of Shi Jian, thanking Master Lin for the great favor of avenging Gang Leader Bian! Lin Yi was stunned for a long time, then he hurriedly asked everyone to stand up and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Shi, you called me here, not just to thank me, right?" Shi Jian's expression was less cold and more sad. He clasped his fists and said, "The old man, the gang leader, is gone. We don't know what to do in the future! So I invited Master Lin to come here, one is to thank you for your great kindness; the other is to ask for your instructions to comfort the brothers. My eleven brothers are willing to go through fire and water for you!" So that's it, Lin Yi nodded. After Bian Zhenduo's death, these people were like rootless duckweed. Whether on the ship or in Daxia, they could not stand. Perhaps, they thought that only by following me could they find a way out. In the past, Lin Yi should have refused casually. But Bian Zhenduo had just left, and he really couldn't say this. On the ship, the only one these men could rely on was him, Lin Yi. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi said, "Well! Before you return to Dashang, you are all my brothers. Brother Shi will live in this room with a few people. I will tell Elder Meng later, you can rest assured!" Shi Jian and others bowed with gratitude. These Jianghu men don't say too many nice words, just a bow and a nod, that's enough! Lin Yi walked up the stairs alone, looking back into the distance - the stars and the moon were dim, as if there were clouds surging; the sea and sky were as black as ink, just like the edge of the abyss
