"How dare you act wild in the Lin family's house! You are seeking death!"
A black shadow suddenly jumped out from under the eaves and ran quickly on the eaves.
The guards standing below also quickly jumped onto the eaves and chased after him.
"Stop!"
"Catch him! Don't let him escape!"
Amid the shouts, more people jumped onto the eaves and chased the shadow.
These people are all third-rate warriors, and their strength is quite good.
A simple count showed that there were more than thirty people!
Thirty third-rate warriors, this number is really astonishing!
You must know that the bandits on Cuiwei Mountain are composed of more than a dozen cottages and only have thirty-seven third-rate warriors.
Now there are more than thirty third-rate warriors who jumped onto the roof to chase the black shadow.
And more third-rate warriors were still vigilant on the ground to prevent them from falling into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
If the two were added together, the number of third-rate warriors would probably be in the hundreds!
Such a number of warriors, even in the arena, can rival any second-rate force.
Even the extremely powerful Qingcheng Sect may not be able to match the Fuwei Escort Agency in terms of the number of third-rate warriors.
In fact, the overall strength of Fuwei Escort Agency is not weak. There may not be any real masters, but there is no shortage of third-rate warriors.
Taken together, they can be considered a quite powerful force.
The reason why Yu Canghai dared not take action against the Fuwei Escort Agency was that in addition to being afraid of the Lin family's "Seventy-two Ways of Evil-Repelling Sword Techniques", the power of the Fuwei Escort Agency itself was also an important factor that could not be ignored.
In the original work, Yu Canghai also cleverly used the method of "surrounding the point and calling for reinforcements" to finally destroy the Fuwei Escort Agency.
If they really fight head-on, even if the Qingcheng faction will still win, they will probably suffer a lot of losses.
"What's wrong? Madam, are you okay?"
In the night, Lin Zhennan hurried over.
Next to him was a pretty... little girl?
Well, if you guessed correctly, this should be Lin Pingzhi, the protagonist in the early stage.
But with this appearance, it is indeed a bit difficult to distinguish between male and female!
"mother."
Lin Pingzhi trotted into Mrs. Lin's arms.
"Ping'er."
Mrs. Lin held her child in her arms, and the fluctuations that had been ups and downs just now gradually subsided.
Then he turned to Lin Zhennan and said.
"I'm fine. That person was discovered by the guards in advance and ran away directly."
"That's good, that's good."
Lin Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Mrs. Lin is not only his wife, but also the daughter of Wang Yuanba of Luoyang’s Golden Knife Clan. The Golden Knife Clan also helped a lot to make him what he is today.
He also plans to expand the power of Fuwei Escort Agency during this period. If something happens to his wife, it will be difficult to deal with it later!
"Husband, do you know who is targeting us? They are making trouble at this time!"
Mrs. Lin looked very bad.
Who would cause trouble during the Chinese New Year?
By making trouble on this festive day, are you planning to fight the Lin family to the death? !
"Here, we don't have any clues yet."
Lin Zhennan also frowned.
To cause trouble during the Chinese New Year, there must be a lot of hatred!
But he, Lin Zhennan, asked himself, although he had not offended other people at all over the years. In the escort business, there would inevitably be some friction, which was impossible to avoid, but he shouldn't have reached this level of hatred, right?
"Let's first see if the person who chased him has gotten any news!"
Lin Zhennan had no choice but to place his hope on those who chased him out.
"Mom, dad, don't worry. When I grow up, I will help you defeat all the bad guys who bully our family!"
Kobayashi Heizhi said seriously, but his too delicate face made his words really hard to trust.
This is how he is described in the original book.
She has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She is very handsome. She is more handsome than ever and is as beautiful as a good girl.
A weak and beautiful young man is better than a woman disguised as a man, and a seductive beauties are more beautiful than the bride.
Wealthy and elegant, as rich as jade.
Her cold demeanor has the grace of a beautiful girl in her 19th style.
The figure is beautiful and extremely elegant.
······
Most of these words don't seem to describe men, but more like describing a living beauty.
Of course, Lin Pingzhi is still young now, so it may be more appropriate to describe him as cute.
Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Lin both smiled because of his words.
"Okay, okay, when Ping'er grows up, he will fight bad guys for us!"
As the family talked and laughed, I don’t know how much time passed, but finally the guards and bodyguards who had gone out came back.
Lin Zhennan didn't want his son to be exposed to these things in advance, so he walked out of the Buddhist hall first and met the guards and bodyguards.
"General escort chief."
The guards and escorts gave up.
"Um."
Lin Zhennan nodded.
"Has anyone been caught?"
"No, this man seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding area. We followed him for a while, and then he got away. The night was too dark, and we didn't find any traces. We were worried that something would happen, so we came back. "
"Well, I understand. Let's ask people to check the old house again to see if there are any problems! Don't let anything happen again!"
"Yes! Chief escort!"
After sending the person away, the expression on Lin Zhennan's face became a little ugly.
"Are you familiar with this area?"
I'm afraid they have already set their sights on the Lin family!
If not, how could the other party be familiar with this area?
This area of Xiangyang Lane can be said to be the edge of the old city. There are very few people living there, and almost all of them are ordinary families.
Normally, other people would rarely come here specifically, let alone get familiar with it.
"If this person has really been targeting our Lin family for a long time, then why?"
Lin Zhennan was thinking in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out.
If it was to avenge them, he should have taken action long ago, and there were many better opportunities than this. Why did they need to show up at this time? And he still showed up at the Lin family’s old house?
"Is it because of that thing?"
Lin Zhennan's heart suddenly jumped and he thought of something.
It's unreasonable to do this for revenge, but if it's for that thing...
"No! I have to go take a look!"
Lin Zhennan's expression flickered for a while, then he spoke to his wife and son, and hurriedly ran in the other direction.
Outside a room, Lin Zhennan stopped.
"You stay outside, no one is allowed to come near without my instructions!"
"Yes! Master!"
A group of guards stood guard outside.
Lin Zhennan entered the room alone.
This is a study room, covering an area of over 150 square meters.
After entering the room, Lin Zhennan first carefully looked around to make sure that no one was around, and then cautiously came to a bookcase against the wall.
He put his hand on a fixed bronze handle and twisted it hard to the right.
Click! Click!
The bookcase suddenly split open in the middle, revealing a dark portal.
Lin Zhennan held the oil lamp aside and walked into the door. After a while, he walked out of it.
It was obvious that his expression became much more relaxed.
"Fortunately, this thing was not lost, otherwise..."
Lin Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't want to use that thing, it was a treasure passed down by the Lin family after all. If something went wrong, it would be a huge trouble for the Lin family. !
Lin Zhennan closed the secret door and carefully observed the surroundings. After finding nothing unusual, he left the study.
What he didn't realize when he left was that there was a pair of eyes on the roof that had already observed all his actions just now.
"Sure enough! Lin Zhennan has known about the existence of the "Evil Sword Manual" for a long time!"
On the roof, Xu Yi's eyes flashed.
The black shadow that suddenly appeared and escaped just now was naturally not him. With his strength, the real-time simulation of the Memory Palace, and the light skill of "Hundred Flowers Wandering", it's not that he looks down on these people, it's that they really don't have that ability. Discover him!
As long as Xu Yi wanted to, he could easily avoid their gazes.
Just now, he had actually been around the Buddhist hall, but the guards and bodyguards did not notice his presence at all.
Also not long ago, Xu Yi saw Lin Zhennan leaving in a hurry and the strange look on his face.
He vaguely sensed something in his heart, and immediately decided to follow the other party!
"According to some descriptions in the original work, Lin Zhennan is very likely to know the existence of the "Evil Sword Manual", but he has not really practiced it."
In the original work, before Lin Zhennan died, he specifically asked Linghu Chong to convey the ancestral last words to his son Lin Pingzhi.
"Don't look through the ancestral relics in the old house on Xiangyang Lane!"
This sentence seems to be just an ordinary last word, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that there is really too much weirdness in this last word.
What ancestral relics should we not look at without permission?
Just the word 'look' actually reveals a lot.
Not to mention, this was a sentence that Lin Zhennan specifically asked Linghu Chong to convey to his son before he died. Needless to say, the meaning contained in it.
It's very possible that this is their Lin family's "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual"!
Apart from this, there was no other news that Lin Zhennan wanted to tell Lin Pingzhi before he died.
The subsequent situation also proves this point.
The so-called ancestral relics are indeed the "Evil Sword Manual"!
So the question is, has Lin Zhennan ever read the "Evil Sword Manual"?
If you have read it, is the "Evil Sword Manual" still in the Buddhist hall?
In other words, was the "Evil Sword Manual" in the Buddhist hall placed by Lin Zhennan or Lin Yuantu?
If Lin Zhennan had not seen it, Lin Yuantu also placed the "Evil Sword Manual" in the Buddhist hall, then the "Evil Sword Manual" was probably in that Buddhist hall.
But if not...
The "Evil Sword Manual" is not necessarily in the Buddhist hall.
Judging from what Xu Yi discovered just now, the possibility of the latter is obviously higher!
"Where exactly is the "Evil Sword Manual"? Just go down and take a look and you'll find out!"
After confirming that Lin Zhennan had left and would most likely not return in a short time, Xu Yi quietly entered the study below.
Without stopping elsewhere, he had already seen all Lin Zhennan's operations and went directly to the bookcase against the wall.
Grab the fixed bronze handle and twist it to the right.
Click! Click!
The bookcase parted, revealing a dark portal.
He casually took the oil lamp on the side and walked into the portal.
After carefully walking through a dark path, Xu Yi reached the end.
This is a secret room.
The secret room is not big, only about twenty square meters.
There is a rectangular wooden table placed in the secret room, with a gold-plated bronze statue of Buddha on it, about half a meter high.
This is a Maitreya Buddha, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a constant smile.
There was an incense burner placed in front of the Buddha statue, with incense still burning on it. Judging from the length of the burning, it should have been lit by Lin Zhennan when he first came in.
Xu Yi's face was expressionless, and the breathing from his mouth and nose had been temporarily blocked by him.
He smelled the fragrance when he first came in, and the moment he smelled it, he closed his mouth and nose to breathe.
"This is Mixiang!"
Xu Yi is no longer a novice who doesn't understand anything.
The dozen medical books presented by the shopkeeper of Bai'ankang Pharmacy and the "Five Poisons Heart Sutra" given to him by the gold and silver elders have already given him a relatively full understanding of various medical knowledge.
Even the only medical skill behind the skill bar on his system panel has been upgraded from LV·1 to LV·2.
This means that at least in the field of medicine, he is no longer just a beginner, but also a skilled veteran!
Although it is a very troublesome problem that he cannot solve yet, it is not that difficult for him to distinguish this kind of mysterious fragrance.
Of course, this is him.
If someone with average medical skills couldn't distinguish the ingredients of this scent, then he might really suffer a big loss at this time!
"I really didn't expect that Lin Zhennan, who seemed to be making frequent moves and showing off his lower IQ in the original work, would actually have such a scheming mind!"
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If Lin Zhennan had such a scheme in the original plot, he might not have been wiped out by Yu Canghai.
He owns the "Evil Sword Manual". In fact, as long as he wants to do something, he dare not think about it. It is actually very easy to keep the Lin family together.
Even if the Five Mountains Sword Sect and even Lin Wudang are unreliable, can't they still seek refuge with the government or even the Sun and Moon Demon Sect?
Of course, the specific operation may need to be changed in detail.
But if he really had to make a choice, this could really be considered a good retreat - at least it was much better than the choice he had made at that time!
Shaking his head, Xu Yi stopped thinking about those irrelevant things.
He cast his gaze to one side of the table.
An old red cassock room comes into view.
""Evil-Resisting Sword Manual"!"
I found that if I update 12,000 words a day, setting the time at 9pm seems a bit too early. In the future, I’d better push the daily update time back by one hour and set it at 10pm!
