After Lin Yan struggled to kill Wu Cai Lao Dao, he healed his wounds and headed towards the Eastern Tang Dynasty. During this period, he walked to inaccessible places to avoid the pursuers as much as possible. He had never heard of the things that had already made him famous. .
In fact, if he could choose, he wouldn't want this kind of reputation. Although killing an Xiantian Realm elder of the Xuantian Sect was a good achievement, anyone with a discerning eye knew that there was something fishy about it. This was caused by a combination of factors and was not Lin Yan's actual strength.
Most people are even more inclined to think that Lin Yan took advantage of the situation when Wu Cai and Yan Yi were both injured and used his strange power to sneak attack Wu Cai and cause his death!
As for his mere Houtian realm strength, it is impossible to deal with an elder in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, even if the latter is seriously injured!
Who doesn’t have some life-saving skills? If you are allowed to drift away after successfully challenging a large level, then the master of the Xiantian realm is too worthless!
Therefore, although Lin Yan's current reputation is very famous, it may not really be able to scare many people. Instead, it will attract many people with ulterior motives to take risks.
Not to mention the huge reward offered by Xuantian Sect, this guy is very likely to be carrying a quasi-heaven-level sword, which is a real good thing!
"Kill this kid, and all the treasures will be mine!" This is the thought of most people in the world. Regardless of whether he is on the right path or the evil path, under the temptation of such extreme interests, he has already regarded Lin Yan as a piece of cake.
It is estimated that these people in the world looked at Lin Yan as if they were looking at Tang Monk who could live forever, and everyone wanted to pounce on him and take a bite!
At this time, not only the Xuantian Sect and the Buddha Sect, but also many forces in the world launched a campaign to suppress Lin Yan.
For a time, it can be said that
"The whole world is our enemy"! Lin Yan, who was the person involved, was still unaware at this moment, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that Wu Cai was indeed an elder, with a rich collection, and his family was much richer than Bu Luo, the Huanxi sect he had killed before.
The elixirs are also high-level, although it is impossible
"Life and death, flesh and white bones" allowed Lin Yan's injuries to heal instantly. However, it also saved him from the danger of his life.
You know, if it had been anyone else, Wu Cai's last blow would have been enough to kill him! In addition to Wu Cai's collection, Lin Yan's biggest gain from this battle was the Yin Yang Black Dragon Sword!
Although he uses a sword, this sword is a quasi-heaven-level weapon after all. It is an existence that many people dream of but cannot obtain!
Different from the unknown and broken black sword, this is the highest-level weapon Lin Yan has ever seen so far. Although it is not that easy to use, using it can increase the power of the enemy's moves a lot. It is worthy of
The name of "Magic Weapon"! As for killing Wu Cai and breaking the news, Lin Yan himself really had no idea. His reasoning is very simple. If you come to kill me, you must be prepared to be killed by me.
If you come to kill me, I can only sit back and wait for death. There is no such reason in the world! As for the identity of the other party, Lin Yan didn't care much.
No matter how prominent your status was during your lifetime, you will die when you die. After all, you will turn into a handful of loess, no different from anyone else!
Xuantian Sect, what’s so great about it? The target is Xuantian Sect! If others knew, they would definitely think Lin Yan was crazy!
You know, that's the name
"The number one sect in Taoism", the most powerful sect in the world! If anyone provokes it, then don’t even think about living a good life!
No matter what your background is or what your strength is, you cannot escape the sanctions of Xuantian Sect. Its strength is so terrifying and unreasonable!
The world may not be afraid of the academies that are gentle and follow Confucian etiquette; they may not be afraid of the Buddhist sect that appears to be kind and helps the world and save people; but the only thing they dare not fear is the Xuantian sect that seems to be awe-inspiring and righteous!
Because history has proven that anyone who messes with the Xuantian Sect without knowing the depth will not end well! Lin Yan was cautious all the way. After all, the damage caused by Wu Cailao's last blow was not small. Anyone else would have met the King of Hell long ago!
Fortunately, my physical fitness is not bad, and I have taken many high-level pills along the way, so I can survive.
However, this kind of injury cannot be cured by just leaving it alone. In fact, it stands to reason that it should be rested, but Lin Yan does not have such conditions now!
They could only carefully avoid the pursuers and avoid fighting as much as possible. Fortunately, they were lucky. As they walked along, they almost reached the border of Tang Kingdom.
The further he got here, the more energetic Lin Yan became. Often at this last moment, people are most likely to relax their vigilance and most likely to overturn.
When he returned to Dongtang, it was not that he would be safe once he entered the country. Instead, he had to go back to the village and personally determine whether the people he cared about were safe.
Now that his identity as a disciple of Mo Sect has been exposed, he is not tolerated by the world. There are many people in this world who want to exchange his life for a bounty.
In fact, under this situation, the best choice for him is to find an inaccessible deep mountain forest and hide directly there. After three to five years, the limelight will pass, and it will not be too late to change his name and come out.
Lin Yan is not a pedantic person, and naturally understands that sometimes it is necessary to avoid the edge. However, he couldn't worry about the people in the village. Before he could truly ensure their safety, he couldn't do this because he was uneasy!
But this is an extremely risky behavior, because Tang State is not only Tang State, this is also the headquarters of Xuantian Sect, and their power will be maximized!
Before, whether in the Northern Desert Buddhist Kingdom, the Western Wasteland, or in the wasteland, the Xuantian Sect was beyond reach, and only a few people were sent to pursue them.
But now it is very different. In the Tang Kingdom, their overall reaction speed will reach an extremely terrifying level!
Moreover, Lin Yan's sword-killing of Wu Cai, regardless of whether he had the status of a Momen disciple, was enough for Xuantian Sect to put him on the must-kill list.
A group of disciples were all destroyed, and more importantly, an elder in the Xiantian realm died. This was not only a loss that made the Xuantian Sect feel painful, but also slapped him hard in the face!
If Xuantian Sect cannot punish the murderer in the shortest time, then the so-called
"No. 1 in Taoism" will be a joke from now on! Lin Yan deliberately avoided some large checkpoints because there was a shadow of him on the city gate, and the inspection was very strict, making it difficult to get through.
But this is not airtight. After all, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is still the Eastern Tang Dynasty. It is one of the most powerful countries in the Yuan Realm and has its own arrogance!
He is not a vassal of Xuantian Sect, so he just cooperates with him on the surface, and it is impossible to really try his best to help him arrest people.
If he really served the Xuantian Sect obediently like a dog-legger, then Tang would not be able to have the power that now terrifies other countries!
What goes up leads to deeds. Since Emperor Tang didn't pay much attention to this matter, and the officials below were all very good at figuring out the thoughts of their superiors, they naturally followed the principle.
The principle of "doing more is worse than doing less", and the mentality is quite Buddhist. If he catches it, it's just luck. If he doesn't, forget it. Anyway, Emperor Tang didn't ask him to catch him. It's the Xuantian Sect that's anxious, so it's none of their business!
Lin Yan was actually wrong about one thing. Although Tang State is the headquarters of Xuantian Sect, they may not necessarily be able to move easily elsewhere because of Tang State's strength!
If it were a weaker country, then with the power of Xuantian Sect, it would definitely be above the imperial power and become a transcendent existence hanging over the country!
But what kind of person was Emperor Tang, how could he tolerate such a thing happening? But it just so happens that he has great talents and great strategies, and there are many talented people in the country. Civil servants and military generals all perform their duties. No matter which force he changes to, he would not dare to challenge him easily!
No matter how powerful the Jianghu sect is, it is not on the same level as the state machine! If one's own strength cannot reach an absolutely transcendent level, it will be difficult to save one's life in battle.
Among other things, the most famous heavy armored cavalry in the Tang Kingdom was the nightmare of many high-level warriors! Under the ruthless charge of the iron cavalry, all those in the Xiantian realm are nothing but ants. Even after paying a certain price, the strong ones in the Xiantian realm may not be unable to kill them.
And as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty recruited warriors and recruited talents for the Tang State over the years, the country's overall strength was even more prosperous, and no one dared to underestimate it!
As a result, Emperor Tang felt even more awkward about the existence of Xuantian Sect. After all, how can anyone be allowed to snore on the side of the bed?
With such a behemoth placed near Chang'an, Emperor Tang would not feel comfortable no matter how big his heart was.
Therefore, there has always been a very delicate relationship between the two. To a certain extent, it is a kind of balance.
There seems to be an invisible line between them. Once Xuantian Sect crosses this line, something unpredictable may happen.
Therefore, Xuantian Sect's actions in the Tang Kingdom seemed to be somewhat restrained. This was also to avoid the suspicion of the Emperor of Tang!
After all, if such a transcendent force can freely come and go within the country without any restrictions, wouldn't it completely hand over one's country and even one's life into the hands of others?
How can this be! This time, Xuantian Sect showed extreme anger at Lin Yan's killing of Elder Wu Cai, and Tang Guo could only provide them with corresponding cooperation on the face of it.
But the reason why he didn't try so hard was because Emperor Tang also had his own considerations. After all, Lin Yan is also from the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a disciple of the academy!
Although he now has
Emperor Tang didn't care much about his status as a "descendant of the Demon Sect". To him, Xuantian Sect was more like his inner demon!
The current attitude of the academy is also unclear. There is no result yet as to whether to keep this outstanding disciple who has achieved dazzling results for the academy in the martial arts competition!
At this time, Emperor Tang didn't want to get involved. Others may have to observe the situation and choose sides, but why did Tang need to do this?
It was precisely because of this delicate situation that Lin Yan was able to successfully enter the Tang Dynasty after disguising himself.
This time he dressed up as a ragged beggar. Anyway, he had been traveling all the way, his face was dirty, his hair was greasy and tangled, and his clothes were almost torn since the battle with Wu Cai.
So I didn’t bother to clean it up this time. It was obvious that I was a beggar! Of course, props are indispensable for pretending to be a beggar. Lin Yan stuffed the black knife into his small cloth pocket. He hid the Yin Yang Black Dragon Sword in the bamboo pole, which he could use as a walking stick. He also held a knife in his hand that he didn’t know where. Broken bowl.
As he walked, he shook the broken bowl, bowed to the passers-by, and said:
"Every kind-hearted person passing by, take pity on me, a little beggar, and give me something to eat! Good people are rewarded!" That look and demeanor are really amazing!
I guess even a real beggar would consider him a companion! During this journey of escaping, Lin Yan learned a skill, that is, how to pretend to be a beggar!
Apart from anything else, this beggar's identity is still very useful when he is on the run. so-called
"It's dark under the lamp", generally no one will pay too much attention to dirty and smelly beggars, which makes Lin Yan safer!
When Lin Yan read the script earlier, the hero in it didn't even bother to hide his traces when he was injured and was being chased. He marched all the way forward, killing gods when God blocked him, killing Buddha when Buddha blocked him, and he was so happy that he was so excited!
But when you calm down and think about it carefully, this kind of behavior is seeking death and is not very maneuverable. Even if you have strong strength, your manpower is sometimes limited. Fighting the world alone may sound great, but you will die the fastest!
When being chased, it is better to keep a low profile and move quietly is the right thing to do! It is best to counterattack when the enemy is relaxed and careless, and then retreat before the enemy can react. This will last a long time!
As for pretending to be a beggar, after all, your own safety comes first, so what does it matter if you are a little dirty! When entering the city, the guard didn't even dare to look at Lin Yan. He waved his hand impatiently and asked Lin Yan to leave quickly, as if he were shooing away flies. The latter also
The "obedient" one quickly entered the barrier, and his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. This may not be the case for larger passes. It is actually poor and broken, and has little strategic value, so the Tang Dynasty does not pay much attention to it, which also gives Lin Yan an opportunity to take advantage of it!
After entering the country, Lin Yan did not dare to stay too long. After carefully identifying the direction, he rushed towards the village where the Lin clan was located.
He didn't enter directly across the Tianjue Mountains, so he couldn't appear directly outside the village. To get there, he still had to take a long detour.
While running quickly, Lin Yan inevitably encountered the Xuantian Sect's team that came to hunt him down, and the battle was about to break out!
Fortunately, the strength of this team is not too strong, and there are no elders of the same magnitude as Wu Cai, otherwise Lin Yan would have stopped here!
But even so, with Lin Yan still seriously injured, fighting with a group of disciples caused the wound to bleed again.
He forced himself to stay away from here, but his vision gradually became blurred due to excessive blood loss. Before he fainted, he seemed to see a familiar figure. Was it an illusion?
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Yan woke up. His first reaction was to touch his knife, ready to attack the enemy at any time.
"Are you awake?" came a gentle female voice, but her voice was slightly trembling, obviously startled by Lin Yan's sudden movement.
Lin Yan looked where the sound came from and saw a slim-figured woman in a plain skirt. She said in surprise:
"Sister Liu Ying?" The gentle woman in front of him was Liu Ying. He never expected that the two would meet again under such circumstances.
Lin Yan still didn't quite understand the situation and continued to ask:
"Why am I here?" Liu Ying said:
"I went out of the city to escort iron ore a few days ago. I happened to meet you unconscious on the road, so I rescued you. You were seriously injured and lost too much blood. You have been unconscious for three full days!"
"What?" Lin Yan exclaimed. His time was very precious at this moment and he could not waste a moment. Unexpectedly, three days had passed without him even realizing it.
The longer he delayed, the more dangerous the situation in the village became. Lin Yan struggled to get up, but found a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen under such a pull, and the blood stained the white cloth visibly red.
"Xiao Yan, please slow down! With such a serious injury, other people would have died a long time ago. Where are you going?" Liu Ying rushed over to support him and said with concern.
"Sister Liu Ying, I have to go home right away. Something may happen if I'm late!" Lin Yan said urgently.
"Is it about the fact that you are wanted by Xuantian Sect?" Liu Ying asked. Lin Yan's heart tightened when he heard this, and then he felt relieved.
Sects have their own way of sending messages between them. After all, his identity and the matter of killing Wu Cai Lao Dao cannot be hidden for too long. Even his shadow pattern is on the border. It is not surprising that Liu Ying knows this. Got it!
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yan said:
"Sister Liu Ying, I'd better leave as soon as possible! Now my situation is complicated. Once you are dragged into this whirlpool, I will not feel at ease!" Liu Ying glanced at Lin Yan faintly and said:
"I'm not afraid!" Lin Yan said:
"This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not. You can't imagine how terrifying Xuantian Sect is. Once your help for me is exposed, your entire family will not be spared! You..." Liu Ying stopped him from continuing and said:
"It was you who helped me when I was in the most difficult time, or twice! Now that you are in trouble, how can I not help you?"
"Although I am a weak woman, I also understand the principle of repaying kindness, so how can I ignore you?" Lin Yan opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
Yes, I can't completely ignore Liu Ying's mood and stubbornly refuse her kindness!
Seeing Lin Yan calm down, Liu Ying continued:
"You looked like a beggar when I brought you back, so no one recognized you, so don't worry!"
"As for your hometown clansmen, I have sent people to inquire about them in the past few days. Once there is new news, I will inform you immediately!" Lin Yan nodded and calmed down slightly. Not that he was really relieved, but after calming down. I also know that I can’t accomplish anything in my current state!
Even if the tribe is facing a crisis, dragging this broken body back will result in death. What's more important is that I don't know if I can hold on until I rush back, maybe I will die halfway!
So even if I feel reluctant, I can only recuperate for the time being and then think about it in the long term!
After clearing his thoughts, Lin Yan carefully looked at the place where he was, and his expression gradually became weird.
There is a brocade quilt on top of me, and a soft wooden bed beneath me. The exquisite carvings and decorations are extraordinary.
The faint scent of sandalwood fills the surroundings, and tiny bits of sunlight shine through the hollow carved windows. The gauze curtains are hung low, creating a hazy atmosphere.
Even though he had never been here before, Lin Yan vaguely guessed that this was a girl's boudoir!
Lin Yan asked:
"Sister Liu Ying, this is..." Liu Ying's pretty face quickly turned red as she lowered her head and said:
"Well, it's my room." It is against the rules for a woman who has not left the palace to let a strange man enter the room like this.
But there was no better way for her to act according to urgency. I don't know if it was because the target was Lin Yan, but Liu Ying didn't feel any resistance to this matter, but she was a little shy.
Looking at the pretty and blushing Liu Ying, Lin Yan understood that this was his first time entering a girl's boudoir, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he reacted.
He turned around and found that his little cloth bag was beside him, and the bamboo pole was also standing in the corner. However, his beggar's uniform was gone. At this moment, he was wearing a clean lining.
Lin Yan looked at the clean clothes he was wearing, hesitated for a long time, and then asked:
"My clothes..." Liu Ying's pretty face instantly turned red when she heard this, she lowered her head and hesitated and was speechless for a long time.
Then, as if he had made some important decision, Beiqi bit his red lips tightly, closed his eyes, and said:
"I changed it!" She was a young girl, helping a man change clothes. Don't say it out loud, just thinking about it made her extremely ashamed!
But there is no way, Lin Yan is now wanted all over the world, and his identity must not be exposed! There are not many people in the family who can be trusted nowadays. The less people know about this matter, the safer it is. Liu Ying didn't even tell his father.
Until now, Liu Chengyan is still puzzled by the fact that his daughter picked up a beggar out of nowhere! That's all, but she is still raising her in the boudoir. Why did my daughter, who was so good in the past, suddenly become like this!
This makes Mr. Liu depressed and helpless! Although I asked several times, my daughter always put her off. He was also the father of a doting woman, so there was no way he could be cruel to her, so the matter was never resolved.
Nowadays, there are rumors in the family, and Mr. Liu finally suppressed these remarks by relying on the authority of the family head.
However, if people don’t say it openly, how can they not say it secretly? This kind of thing cannot be blocked, so Liu Chengyan is not in a good mood recently!
Liu Ying didn't care about this. For her, Lin Yan's safety came first! When she first washed and changed Lin Yan, Liu Ying closed her eyes and didn't dare to look, feeling so ashamed.
But when she saw the hideous wounds on Lin Yan's chest and abdomen, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
This little guy has suffered so much along the way! Others only saw how powerful he was at such a young age, but they didn't know how many crises he had experienced and how many times he had passed by death!
After taking care of Lin Yan for a few days, she took it lightly. What's the matter? This girl has a clear conscience, okay?
But this guy doesn't know which muscle he has cramped today, so why should he ask? By asking this, doesn't it mean that someone will admit to seeing your body in front of you?
What, are you deliberately teasing me? Thinking of this, Liu Ying suddenly raised her head, and on her pretty face that was blushing, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Lin Yan, her eyes becoming more and more evil...
