Chapter 24: Martial Arts Contest to Recruit a Marriage (2)
Lin Rufa took a few sips and drank most of the gourd in one go. Then he shouted with some unfinished content: "Good wine! It's been more than five years since his grandma's wine! I can't drink the wine you brewed anymore!"
After saying this, he smacked his mouth, his eyes brightened, and he asked with a smile: "Added snake gall?"
Yi Xifeng briefly talked about his encounter with the Silver Moon Anaconda in the Abyss Forest Sea, and his subsequent follow-up to the Zhong Family Trading Company.
"You said that the Zhong family plans to let Zhong Rui marry Ling Xi?" Lin Rufa, as the current head of the Lin family, is naturally very concerned about his former colleagues. However, with the current status of the Lin family, he has no control over the affairs of the Zhong family.
Although the salary list organization and the mountain patrol team left most of the armored guards and mountain patrol members of Yinren Town to Lin Rufa, the foundation has been lost, and it is impossible for the Lin family to come to Qingchuan County to establish a new base. They can only become a gang force in the form of a family. Just like Feng Shui Gang and Shahe Gang, the difference is that Feng Shui Gang chose to be in Xiaohe Town, adjacent to Xiaoyuan Sea. Yin Shisan of the Shahe Gang chose to rebuild the Shahe Gang with the Xing family and his son in Linlangshan City in the north.
Yi Xifeng nodded and said calmly: "Yes, this news shocked me at first..."
"Oh? I didn't see that you care about Lingxi so much." The black-faced man said with a strange smile.
The young man naturally knew the meaning of the other party's smile, and said with some embarrassment: "That's not true. At first, I thought the person holding the contest to recruit a bride was, yes, a new addition..."
Lin Bo was not surprised by this answer. He patted the other party's shoulder lightly and said calmly: "Whatever you want to do, just do it! Although you are a few months younger than Fenghuo, you have been older than Fenghuo since you were a child. He is much more mature and stable, so Lin Bo supports your decision!"
When Yi Xifeng heard these words, he felt warm in his heart. Ever since Yinren Town was destroyed, even with Ou Yezi and Ou Ye Changfeng from the Qingyun Sect taking care of him, he had always felt like a wanderer, as if he had lost his roots. Seeing this dark man who had watched me grow up now, I felt mixed emotions!
The two of them didn't stay at the door for too long, and Lin Rufa took him into the compound and started walking around. Generally speaking, the layout here is very similar to that of a blacksmith. Even the blacksmiths wearing black robes are the same as they were in Yinren Town.
"Uncle Lin, have you been here in Yinchuan City for the past few years?" Although on the way here, he also inquired about some information about Yinren's remaining forces, but it was definitely not as accurate as the person involved himself.
Lin Rufa nodded and said in a deep voice: "Actually, that matter has been basically decided since the old man decided to attend the banquet."
Yi Xifeng had made many inquiries over the years, and coupled with his own analysis and reasoning, he could roughly guess it.
"So, after they set off, Mr. Zhao said that you were sent to Qingchuan County."
Yi Xifeng received a positive answer, and a big stone fell in his heart, and then he asked: "Except for the nine of us, Zhang Yanshi, Zhou Di, Lu Huahua, these captain-level strong men, where have they gone? "
"The three of them led the remaining people in Yinren Town, trekked all the way through Hongyan Town, Longxi Town, and entered Qingchuan County. Then they settled the people in Qingchuan County. At that time, I and a group of people from the mountain patrol team , entered Qingchuan County first, and was also caught in a decision." Lin Rufa said calmly.
"On the one hand, we can occupy a small town or small force and then make a comeback. Or we can re-establish a village, like Yinren Village, to gather people and educate them." At this point, he paused and continued: " However, I didn’t have a choice. The rise and fall of Yinren Town made me see clearly that it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to defeat a country with one region!”
Yi Xifeng somewhat understood what he meant, and said slowly: "What do you mean, you will no longer build a force?"
Lin Rufa nodded and said: "At least with the current background of the Lin family, it is impossible. Therefore, I chose to become a political force and formed the Confucianism and Fa sect."
Seeing the understanding on the young man's face, he continued: "Later, the three of them successfully completed their mission and settled the people, and I introduced them to Xiaoyuan Academy to meet Chen Chuantuo. Later, they were Sent to the three sects to practice martial arts."
He never expected that Team Zhou, Team Zhang, and Team Lu would go the same way as him, and then he quickly asked: "Which sects did they go to?"
"Zhang Shishi is a master of Western Kung Fu, and he studied under the Holy War Hall, so he naturally went to the countries in the Western Regions. Zhou Di's Five Thunder Zhengtian Jue is also powerful and domineering, and he went to the Daming Temple in the Ming Dynasty. Lu Huahua is a body-refining warrior , and went to the Holy Land of All Beasts in the Kingdom of All Beasts."
Hearing this reply, Yi Xifeng secretly thought: With the qualifications of the three of them, it should be more than enough to enter the eight sects.
Lin Rufa took another sip of the snake gall wine in the jade gourd, and found that it was empty, so he threw it back to Yi Xifeng with some reluctance, and then said calmly: "Okay, tell me, why are you here this time? "
Yi Xifeng pulled out the Night Sword Hanxing from his waist, then handed it to Lin Rufa, and said in a deep voice: "In the past five years, the boy's internal energy skills have also improved a lot. Xifeng changed the direction of the sword, and finally Well, it’s best to forge this Hanxing Sword again.”
Lin Rufa finished this masterpiece of his own. He tapped his fingers on the blade, and the sound of the sword echoed through the courtyard.
"Yes, you haven't insulted him in the past few years. It seems that you have really improved a lot in the past few years!" the man said with a smile.
The young man wearing a moon-white Taoist robe blinked and asked curiously: "This, you can also feel this?"
"Hmph, I can't say it, I can't say it! Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me your request quickly!" Lin Rufa roared.
Yi Xifeng briefly talked about his requirements. The first thing is weight. The Nei Jin technique has been advanced from the fusion of Jiu Qi Yu Jin Jue to Pure Yang Yu Jin Jue. In addition, he has grown very fast in the past five years and has reached a height of He is 1.77 meters tall, which is seven centimeters taller than in his previous life. Therefore, his physical strength has also become much stronger.
The second is the length of the Hanxing Sword. Five years ago, he was a fair-skinned young man holding a standard dagger, which was just right. But now that he has grown up, the length of the sword's blade naturally needs to be adjusted.
After hearing Yi Xifeng's request, Lin Rufa thought for a while and agreed, "Come and get it from me in five days!"
"Five days? So soon!" Yi Xifeng asked in surprise.
Lin Rufa raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What? Isn't it quick? Or do you have other arrangements?"
"No, no, no, it doesn't matter to me. The main thing is that I'm not going to participate in a martial arts competition to find a bride these days... so..."
Lin Rufa laughed and said, "Just go and wait for five days. When you are free, you can come and pick it up!"
When the young man heard this, he immediately bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you, Uncle Lin!"
The middle-aged man looked at the familiar young man in front of him with some curiosity, and asked doubtfully: "You already know that the contestant is not Li Xintian, but Zhong Lingxi. Then why are you still participating?"
Seeing Lin Rufa asking such a question, he had no choice but to tell the truth. In fact, before coming here, he had been worried, thinking that it was Li Xintian who was competing for a bride. He knew that he had received a letter, a letter from the Kingdom of Beasts. The letter was written by Xiu'er, so it naturally explained the whole story in general. It was only then that he realized that he had indeed made some mistakes.
He originally entered Luo Yun Kingdom to disrupt the marriage between Huang Zhong Lingxi and Zhong Rui, so naturally he wanted to join in the fun. Moreover, Xiu'er also revealed to him that Zhong Rui had arranged for four knight-level masters to participate in this competition to recruit a bride. He tried to use this method to directly promote Zhong Rui as the final winner.
"This Zhong Rui does have some tricks. It is indeed a way to have these four people deal with the hard problems for him during the competition to find a bride, and then deliberately admit defeat in the end!" Lin Rufa nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a while, and in the evening Yi Xifeng drank several jars of wine with Lin Rufa. On the next day, he set off from Yinchuan County to Qingyun City in the west.
…………Dividing line…………
Liang Shouzuo was sitting on the observatory, looking at the stars in the sky, thinking about something in his mind.
"Is everything arranged?" A lazy voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Liang Xinhuai did not look back at the other party, but said calmly: "The Lord Xiao of Loulan City is also a very shrewd person. He naturally knows that cooperation with us will be extremely beneficial to him. Moreover, the current internal strife in the Western Regions is very serious, and they have no choice. select."
"Chengcheng did a good job this time, which is a great achievement!" the lazy voice continued.
"What? The dean is planning to reward him?" This time Liang Shouzuo turned his head and stared at the young man dressed as a scholar in front of him. It was Chen Chuantuo, the dean of Xiaoyuan Academy.
"Haha, verbal reward, don't be proud!" He grinned, walked to the observatory, and sat next to Liang Xinhuai. I don't know when, but there was a jade wine bottle in my hand.
He didn't pick up the wine glass and took a sip directly into the spout, looking very unruly.
"Really decided to let the two of them go?" For the first time today, Chief Liang did not say anything to "admonish" the dean's unruly behavior, but asked with some worry.
Chen Chuantuo did not answer, but gave a vague "hmm".
Liang Xinhuai frowned and looked at the stars in the sky, and said calmly: "But judging from this star position, it is very detrimental to the two of them!"
The young man drank all the wine in the jade jug, raised his head and emptied it, letting the last drop of wine fall into his mouth. Then he stood up unsteadily, without raising his head to look at the stars in the sky, he just smiled. left here. When his figure immediately merged into the darkness, he said in a deep voice:
"The horse is moving, the fire is driving the gold, and the west is benefiting greatly!"
…
That night, Lin Fenghuo and Lin Lei received orders from their masters to follow Xiao Yuanfeng, the Lord of Loulan City, to the countries in the Western Regions to help them quell the chaos!
This was also a rare experience for the two of them. After all, they had been studying Confucian knowledge at Xiaoyuan Academy for the past five years, which made it very difficult for them, especially Lin Fenghuo.
As a swordsman genius, his swordsmanship talent is ranked among the best even in Xiaoyuan Academy. Especially after the bad news about Lin Hengshan came, he who was somewhat lazy in recent years has become very hardworking.
When talent and hard work are combined, the results are naturally remarkable. As early as last year, he entered the knight realm in one fell swoop and became a knight who was only fourteen years old.
This is really beyond Chen Chuantuo's expectation. You must know that the knight realm, as the first level of the third level and the twelve levels, is an important dividing line between warriors. Anyone who practices martial arts at the third level and the twelfth level not only represents his level of martial arts, but also represents his achievements in martial arts.
What surprised Chen Chuantuo was that Lin Fenghuo was able to find his own martial arts under such circumstances, which was quite difficult. For this reason, he also chatted with the other party once. Through that chat, Dean Chen was surprised to find that Lin Fenghuo's path to martial arts had probably been found a long time ago, and it was extremely clear!
"You are indeed gifted for being able to successfully advance to the realm of chivalry! God will surely reward you for your martial arts journey!" Chen Chuantuo first expressed his emotion at that time.
At that time, Lin Fenghuo was already over fourteen years old and had grown in stature. His originally dark complexion had gradually faded as he grew older over the years, and now he appeared to be a healthy wheat color.
"In terms of qualifications alone, Luo Yunguo had a terrifying figure like Helian Haixin many years ago, and my skills are really nothing."
Chen Chuantuo was very satisfied with the young man's answer. He then asked: "I'm very curious. You found your own martial arts at such a young age? What exactly is the martial arts that you insist on?"
Lin Fenghuo held the green fire knife in his hand and said calmly: "Xifeng also asked me this question. I was still young at the time and didn't know much about it. It wasn't until that day that I discovered that Grandpa, the heavy burden of the Lin family, could not be ignored by himself. And dad is not someone who can shoulder heavy burdens, so he has to rely on himself!"
He raised his head and looked at Chen Chuantuo, and then said: "I don't know how to organize troops, let alone the manipulation of power! I only have the sword in my hand. If we say that other people's martial arts are the martial arts they summed up after comprehending the principles of heaven and earth. Path. So my martial arts is different from others. It is the path I want to take step by step based on myself."
When Chen Chuantuo heard this, his expression suddenly changed, but he quickly covered it up...
Lin Fenghuo said to himself: "So, my martial arts path can only rely on the knife in my hand to carve out a avenue and cut out a glimmer of life!" At this point, the young man raised the straight knife in his hand horizontally, and another He gently stroked the blade with his hand and said firmly:
"There is no one in the world who will not be killed, and there will be nothing in the world that will never stop!"
To this day, Chen Chuantuo can't forget the look he saw in Lin Fenghuo's eyes that day. It was a recognition of his own martial arts path. From then on, he never talked to the only child of the Lin family again, because He knew that he could no longer teach him.
…
Chen Chuantuo was walking alone on the stairs of Xiaoyuan Academy. He looked at the lights on the ferry to the west and knew that Lin Fenghuo and Lin Lei were getting ready to leave.
He looked at the lights in the distance, his eyes no longer as blurry as when he was drinking. He said calmly: "Every one of the boys from the Lin family is indeed an outstanding person! The path you choose is harder than the path they chose. Even There are still many misunderstandings to face! I hope you can keep your heart!"
