Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Marshes Chapter 37: The Direction Becomes Clear
Lin Yi saw that the man was crying and snotting, and he looked timid and cowardly. He knew that he was talking nonsense, but he didn't want to kill him. He asked in a deep voice: "What's your name?"
"Grandpa, spare my life-ah?" Qiu Gui was startled again when he heard the voice, and hurriedly said: "I am Qiu Gui, an honest man from the neighborhood!" After saying that, his heart was pounding. The evil spirit didn't want to kill him?
Lin Yi shook his head slightly and frowned and said: "Qiu Gui, stand up!"
Qiu Gui blinked his triangular eyes and rolled his eyes. He got up and said: "I don't know what Grandpa wants-" His face was full of snot, tears and dust, and he was very careful.
"Go and bury the bodies of the three people." Lin Yi's expression was unpredictable and he said coldly.
Qiu Gui bowed his head and kept answering, but his legs hesitated.
The red, yellow, green and white on the ground made people's hands and feet numb, and the bloody smell made people want to vomit. Qiu Gui's tears flowed again.
"It seems that keeping you is useless!" Lin Yi's tone was flat, but in Qiu Gui's ears, it sounded like a death warrant.
"Ah! Ah-I'll go now!" Saving his life was the most important thing. Qiu Gui screamed in shock and hurriedly ran towards the corpses. The bloody smell hit him in the face, making him kneel down and vomit with his hands on his chest.
The bloody smell was very heavy all around, and the carriage had been driven aside. The wife of the young shopkeeper was resting in the carriage with her child.
The three of them talked while talking. Lin Yi then learned that the wife of the young shopkeeper was from Tianping Town, and this time she was returning to her mother's home with her child. Agui was diligent and favored by the young shopkeeper, so he came all the way. He didn't expect to encounter such fierce robbers, and the young shopkeeper was naturally defeated. Fortunately, he arrived and resolved the crisis.
The young shopkeeper was very happy to hear that Lin Yi came from Xuanyuan Temple. In fact, Taiping Town and Xuanyuan Temple can be regarded as a hometown relationship.
"Lin Yi, I didn't expect you to be so good at martial arts! If I had learned a few moves from you, I wouldn't have been so useless!" Agui sighed.
"I only know some Taoist skills, which are not worth mentioning. Brother Jia is not afraid of danger, which is admirable!" Lin Yi smiled. The young shopkeeper looked at Agui with admiration in his eyes.
"Where are you going, little brother?" The young shopkeeper was familiar with Agui because of Lin Yi, so he spoke more casually.
"I was going to Tianping to visit relatives and friends. Now that this matter is over, I want to travel around the world!" Lin Yi replied.
"Little brother is really bold! A good man should be like this. If Brother Lin doesn't mind, can you call me Brother Mei!" As the young shopkeeper, Mei Zhongwen is also a generous, hospitable and friendly person.
Mei Zhongwen owed Lin Yi a great favor, but he didn't pretend and wanted to make friends. But the other party was unfathomable, which made him feel uneasy.
"Brother Mei, you're welcome!" Lin Yi said with a smile. A friend in need is a friend indeed. It's not easy for this couple to stay together when their lives are at stake!
"I will never forget Brother Lin's life-saving grace! It's a pity that we are about to part and can't drink together to express my gratitude!" Mei Zhongwen sighed.
"Haha, I have some wine here, but Brother Mei is injured and shouldn't drink!" Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, pondered for a while, and said, "There are still dozens of miles to go. There are few people here. I will accompany Brother Mei and Brother Jia for a while, and it won't be too late to go back."
Just now, I was still worried about the safety of this trip, thinking that if I met robbers again, it would be a real accident. But with a person with high martial arts skills to send him off, Mei Zhongwen was secretly happy. It's just that it's inevitable to feel uneasy when accepting favors from others. Fortunately, Lin Yi looked relaxed and didn't care about it, which made the conversation of the three people more joyful!
Mei Zhongwen had lost too much blood from the knife wound. Although he cheered up, he gradually turned pale and felt exhausted, so he went to rest in the car.
After Lin Yi explained to Agui, he slowly walked towards Qiu Gui.
Qiu Gui had a steel knife and had dug a half-person-deep earth pit. He was so tired that he kept sticking out his tongue. Seeing Lin Yi coming, he hurried to drag the body again, but the blood was unbearable, so he squatted aside and retched.
Lin Yi did not say anything, and Qiu Gui was so scared that he dared not breathe. He wiped his nose and continued to work with a face full of grievance. After he was so tired that his hands and feet were weak, he finally buried Zheng Da and the others hastily.
"Should I dig another pit?" Lin Yi said to himself.
Just when Qiu Gui was about to say something to please him, he stopped thinking immediately. His flattering smile froze on his face. He knelt down and begged for mercy with a thump: "Grandpa, spare me! I have no intention of disobeying you! Please spare me! I am about to give you something, I dare not hide it!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a bunch of things from his arms. These were all the things he had secretly done when dragging the corpse.
On the ground in front of Qiu Gui, there was a small pile of scattered silver, about ten taels.
"These are all from Grandpa. Please, Grandpa, for the sake of my old mother and children, treat me as a fart and let it go!" Qiu Gui kowtowed and begged endlessly.
"Evils sent by heaven can be forgiven, but evils sent by oneself cannot be forgiven! Take the silver on the ground and do some legitimate business." Lin Yi didn't know whether he was right or wrong. He frowned and said in a deep voice, then turned and left.
Seeing the back of the evil spirit going away, Qiu Gui was stunned on the spot, with a gloomy and uncertain expression on his filthy face.
"Lin Yi, did you let that thief go just now?" Agui raised his whip, lightly whipped the horse, and then turned back to ask. The horse neighed happily, pulling the carriage forward.
Lin Yi sat next to Agui and said, "These chicken-stealing and dog-stealing people are timid and cowardly, unlike those vicious and stubborn people with blood on their hands. Alas! There are so many thieves in the world, it is impossible to kill them all!" After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.
Agui changed his tone when he saw this and said with a smile: "Lin Yi, it was you who saved me a few years ago! Hehe! There were so many people in the martial arts world at that time, but no one knew it was you, tut tut!" Shaking his head, he continued with emotion: "I didn't expect that today, the young shopkeeper and I would be saved by you again. Needless to say, this is a deep love. I really want to go with you, so that you can teach me a powerful martial arts! How majestic it will be to be a chivalrous hero in the future!"
Lin Yi smiled disapprovingly. He still had no idea how good his martial arts were. He didn't know how he compared with the real first-class masters, and he didn't want to compare.
Since knowing the existence of another world, martial arts in the martial arts world have no magic for Lin Yi. No matter how high the martial arts are, what's the point! It's just to be stronger and more majestic in this world. What he yearns for in his heart is also beyond the imagination of ordinary people, let alone what Agui can understand.
"Come with me——? Great! Brother Jia is really willing to leave home and travel far without knowing when he will return!" Lin Yi said with a faint smile.
"Hehe! I am willing to go, but I am afraid my mother will not be able to let me go!" Ah Gui laughed and swung the whip in his hand with a crisp sound.
The horses' hooves kicked, and the two of them kept talking and laughing along the way.
When the sun was setting, the view in front of them gradually opened up, and occasionally, three or two pedestrians could be seen on the road.
There was still a distance of 10 to 20 miles to Tianping ahead, so Lin Yi waved goodbye to Ah Gui and the others and walked back alone.
He was delayed for too long halfway, and walked the road in front of him three times in one day. Lin Yi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
There was still a lot of unknowns waiting for him in the future!
Seeing the sun setting in the west and the colorful clouds reflecting the red sky, Lin Yi thought that he might have to spend the night halfway. He was thinking secretly, his expression moved, and his figure flashed to the side of the road.
After a while, a noisy sound came from the front, and several men twisted a man, beat and scolded him, and walked over.
"This son of a bitch! You want to kidnap my nephew, but you can run! I chased you for more than ten miles, and I must break your dog legs when I come back!" A sturdy man, like holding a chicken, pinched a man with shifty eyes, and dragged him forward.
"You damn Qiu Gui, you have done so many bad things, I will send you to the officials tomorrow morning!"
"If it weren't for this son of a bitch's cunning, I would have caught him yesterday!"
"God has eyes, this thief dared to return to the village, and was just bumped into by men!"
The accompanying men also kept scolding.
This inexplicable thing surprised Lin Yi, who was hiding not far away, and then he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
As night fell, a figure jumped to a high* hill.
The high* hill was surrounded by mountains and forests, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the mountain breeze was cool.
Lin Yi stretched his body comfortably. It was not bad to camp here for a night. He reached out and took out a few small flags. He waved his hand and scattered them. The small flags disappeared into the ground. Then he pinched a few seals and shouted softly. A white light shield with a radius of several feet flashed.
On the hill under the moonlight, there was no trace of people. It was empty, as if no one had ever been there.
This Qiankun Four Symbols Flag was really good. After the formation was activated, the figure at the original place disappeared immediately.
At this time, Lin Yi was sitting cross-legged and fell into deep thought. He was no longer the little Taoist priest who relied on his master and was carefree all day long. In the three years after the master left, he practiced martial arts in addition to sadness, and had no other thoughts. Now, walking alone on the road, many things have to be considered by oneself. In the secular world, the true and false things encountered must be distinguished by oneself.
Mr. Su once said to himself that the future is like a dangerous bridge stepping on the snow, and every step is frightening. Lin Yi agrees with this. Don't let go in leisure, and benefit in busyness. How to go in the future, you must reflect on yourself more.
Go directly to the East China Sea? Lin Yi thought about this more than once. But it is undoubtedly unwise for a person to go to the sea to search rashly. And who can show you the way? If you don't go to Daxia, your road to immortality will end here. Thinking of the Xuanyuan Zhenren who sat in the cave behind the Immortal Peak, he felt strongly unwilling.
Suddenly, his eyebrows moved, and Lin Yi remembered something in his mind. The rumor he heard accidentally three years ago made his thoughts turn quickly.
As the saying goes, there is no wind without waves, and everything has a reason.
Remember the conversation between the Stone Hall Master and Liu Juhu of the Pai Gang, which means that the Tianlong Sect, the first sect in the world, will obtain elixirs and magic weapons after going out to sea once every ten years. Then he thought of the little sword and magic weapon in the hands of the little girl in front of the Taiping Restaurant, and the old Ma he met twice, and the spiritual stones brought by the old Ma and his party the second time.
Lin Yi felt that he had found something vaguely.
He had not paid attention to these things before, but now that he thought about it carefully, Lin Yi developed a strong interest in the Tianlong Sect.
Perhaps, the mystery of the Great Xia Kingdom can be solved from the Tianlong Sect!
Thinking of this, he felt more happy! Lin Yi picked up the gourd and drank a sip. The sweet aroma of the wine permeated his heart, making him feel refreshed, and the confusion after leaving home gradually disappeared...
