In the secret room, only the large candlesticks at the four corners shined with light, and the surroundings were tightly packed. It was also filled with the smell of a soup that Bai Lang had never smelled but found to be slightly pungent.
"Cough cough cough"
There was an intermittent coughing sound in my ears.
Bailang had heard Liu Xu say before that Tang Yan's injury was not optimistic. It did not recover slowly as everyone thought at the beginning, but it seemed to be getting worse. Now when I saw Bailang, I even felt that Liu Xu was being conservative. Or maybe Tang Yan's injury became more serious in just over a day?
"Haha, when I first met Qi Xiu, he glared at me. Standing next to Lin Yue, his eyebrows were all tit-for-tat, without losing any momentum. At that time, I felt that this boy might become a big problem in the future.
Later, Lin Yue trained Qi Xiu as his successor, and Qi Xiu lived up to Lin Yue's expectations and stepped into the Qi Entraining Realm to become his right-hand man. And judging from his age, there is still room for improvement after Qi Xiu.
It's a pity, I didn't expect to die like this. "
Tang Yan was wearing gray uniform and sitting cross-legged on the stone bed in the secret room. After coughing, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were on the human head on the ground in front of him. The head had obviously been wiped, showing Qi Xiu's ferocious and frightened expression before he died.
"You are also in the early stage of the Qi Entrainment Realm, but you killed Qi Xiu without any injuries. It's rare! Cough cough cough."
After saying a few words, Tang Yan started coughing again. The more he coughs, the more a rich and strange golden color appears on his face.
After a while, Tang Yancai continued: "I thought it was a leak in the house, but it rained all night, which is really unlucky. But now it seems that times make heroes, and young talents like you have come out. My sword shop is also a blessing. .
It's just a pity that my injury may not last long enough to see you continue to grow into a towering tree. "
"Zu Dao's words are serious. The sword studio needs Zuo Dao to be in charge before it can be stable. Zuo Dao is good at healing wounds, and it will definitely be cured." Bai Lang bowed slightly. He did not dare to answer Tang Yan's words, nor did he expect that Tang Yan would suddenly change the subject. Just now I was very happy about Qi Xiu's death, but the next sentence was Chi Mu's dejection.
Is this injury really irreversible?
Tang Yan waved his hand, and after his coughing stopped, his expression became a little more lonely.
"Bai Lang, to be honest, I am still very interested in the origin of your ability. Not long ago, I was thinking that I should get a closer look at your details. After all, even if I don't doubt your loyalty to the sword academy, you You still have to know the basics of it. This is also the rule of the knife studio. You know.
But my injury... cough cough cough... I thought too simply. Those secret guards injured me first, and the sudden attack from Yuzhong later injured me. After being seriously injured twice in a row, the foundation was damaged and it was difficult to stabilize. Now that his injuries are getting worse, his cultivation realm has begun to collapse. It is no longer possible to recover. "
Bai Lang frowned when he heard this. What Tang Yan said was really not trivial. Not only was it difficult for him to tell the truth from the false, he was also thinking about what would happen to the knife hall once Tang Yan could no longer support the scene. Huge changes, and what impact will they have on him, the new red swordsman living in the sword hall?
"As long as you know the extent of my injury, don't spread rumors about it for the time being. Keep this matter a secret for as long as you want." At this point, Tang Yan regained his initial indifference.
Looking at Bai Lang's brows knotted, he smiled and said: "Don't be too entangled. All your strength now is very valuable in Yongchuan City. No matter how the sword hall changes in the future, it will not change your position. Moreover, I said before that the sword hall is blessed The source is not shallow, and you Bailang will account for more than half of it!"
"Zudao, this subordinate doesn't quite understand."
"Don't understand? Then you still remember what I told you before about the sword shop being a "chamber pot" belonging to the city lord's house, right?"
"My subordinate still remembers it."
"I said at the time, if the chamber pot is dirty, you have to wash it or throw it away, right? In the same way, if the chamber pot is broken and leaks, do you have to throw it away and buy a new one?"
"Are you saying that the City Lord's Mansion will have malicious intentions because of your injury?"
"Malicious? Hahaha cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough" Tang Yan laughed loudly, but not long after he was injured due to the injuries on his body, he paused and coughed violently for a while.
After the weird golden aura on his face dissipated, Tang Yan calmed down and continued: "What harm would it do to replace a chamber pot in your house? Just change it.
Without your presence, what the City Lord's Mansion would have to do now is to allow Lin Yue to lead his men to kill me. And I, as well as the main old-school forces in the knife studio, will be directly eliminated. Then the Feng family would send another disciple who was the same as me to take over the position of head swordsman in the sword shop.
Of course, the newly appointed swordsman will bring some people over to fill the power gap of the swordsmanship hall. At the same time, there will be another round of cleaning to completely turn the swordsmanship hall into a "new" one. During this period, Lin Yue would maintain restraint, and at the same time, in addition to the gains from plunder, he would also play some tricks on the territory.
The reason why I say this with certainty is because this is how I came to Yongchuan City and cleaned up the remnants of the previous sword hall. Even because Feng Mingyuan had just arrived here, the knife shop needed to be thoroughly controlled, so my cleaning went straight inside and killed everything.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. I thought I would follow in the footsteps of the unlucky ones I killed. But you showed up. There is another option. "
Bailang was not stupid, so he could naturally understand what Tang Yan meant by "another option". But precisely because he understood it, he didn't even know how to deal with it.
It's like you were still thinking about how to date a girl, but the girl came directly to ask you to go to the church. This will directly confuse you.
The suddenness and incompatibility disrupted Bailang's consistent self-goal rhythm.
Seeing Bai Lang, he was speechless and looked incomprehensible. Tang Yan was not surprised at all and continued: "No one could have predicted what happened. Your appearance will at least reduce the turmoil in the knife shop, and it will not let Lin Yue, a guy who has been fighting with me for most of his life, take advantage.
Moreover, the most important thing in Yongchuan City now is the industrial park, and you are inseparable from the industrial park. The city lord's palace has attached great importance to you from the beginning. If it were you to replace me, there would be no obstacles on the side of the City Lord's Mansion.
I didn’t intend to tell you these words so soon. But today you actually killed Qi Xiu, and this incident will definitely expose some of your details. So instead of catching you off guard, it’s better to be mentally prepared first. "
After a pause, Tang Yan continued: "If you want to practice, you need resources, and the resources that Qi Refiners need are strictly controlled. It is difficult for casual cultivators to get even a little bit of it, no matter how much they talk about it. Although the sword studio is Chamber pot, but some scattered resources will leak out. It can be regarded as a little thought."
