Chapter 7: The mystery

The morning meal was relatively simple. A few bowls of porridge, two dishes of refined pickles, and a basket of steamed buns. The two brothers and sisters licked the bowls excitedly, and then followed Lin Zong to practice flying knives in the courtyard.

Liu Tieyun and Wanfu women followed and looked at them in confusion.

"Can the knife kill someone?" Although the woman did not have the realm of Liu Tieyun, she also had acquired internal strength.

Not only her, but even Liu Tieyun didn't believe how powerful a small flying knife could exert. She smiled and said, "Brother Lin's unique skill is not simple. I saw him killing more than a dozen soldiers with this hidden weapon. It is also their blessing to learn He'er and the others in their ability to learn this skill!"

"Just kill a few more bastards, I'm too ambitious!"

The woman also laughed. Their village was so depressed that she didn't force her two nephews to find such a clever master.

Perhaps because they were in the game and were used to it, they did not notice that the aura of their nieces and nephews was much thicker.

Speaking of which, this is also attributed to the relationship between Professor Lin Zong’s two brothers and sisters, "Qingming Jue". With the help of Lin Zong, the whole body of the two brothers and sisters was extremely restrained. If it were not much higher, it would be difficult to find the background of the two brothers and sisters.

After several improvements, "Qingming Jue" has long surpassed the level of innate secret book. Especially now, with the power of the law that Lin Zong has gradually modified "Qingming Jue" into an immortal martial arts-level secret book.

All morning, the two siblings were practicing hard.

Jiang Yun was not idle either. He worked hard to practice on the side. The progress of Lin Zong in the past two days put too much pressure on her. Lin Zong's progress was basically not hidden from her. Whenever she found that Lin Zong's strength was increasing day by day, she felt a little panic in her heart.

She didn't want to be pulled too far by Lin Zong. She was afraid of the feeling of losing. So when she had time, she would enter the Hidden Dragon Space to practice. Even if outsiders were present, she had never abandoned her practice.

The warm sunlight fell on Lin Zong's comfortable face through the sparse branches and leaves. He squinted his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a hint of care on Jiang Yun.

Perhaps at the beginning, Jiang Yun felt that he was only loved by his love for him, but now he could feel that Jiang Yun gradually changed into softer love.

This love made Jiang Yun, who was used to enjoying the young lady, more difficult than others.

"Maybe when I reach the ninth grade alchemist, it will be easier for her and the people around me..."

Lin Zong was a little confused. Taking ordinary spiritual medicines is not faster than practicing in the Hidden Dragon Space. Only the best elixirs like the Blood Dragon Pill can greatly improve their strength.

Drive away the distracted thoughts in your mind.

Lin Zong used his spiritual consciousness to scan the entire village, especially the courtyard near the small building.

"The behavior of this city lord's mansion is too weird. If it is really just for the inheritance ball of the Immortal Martial Arts level, is it necessary to use so much force? Is it still missing a fairy Martial Arts level warrior in a city lord's mansion?"

From entering the village and observing the situation in the village, he felt even more suspicious.

He didn't know the specific strength of the City Lord's Mansion, but based on his spiritual sense alone, he found several immortal martial arts masters in the City Lord's Mansion. There was no need to care about a small immortal martial arts inheritance ball.

"So it's not for inheriting the ball, why is that for? Why do we have to put pressure on different ways to make the entire village gradually disappear?"

"If you want to destroy this village, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just send a few more immortal martial arts masters and dispatch some city guards, you can ensure that the entire Guhe Village will not be kept."

"So, there must be unknown secrets here!"

Lin Zong thought sneered.

At this time, his spiritual sense "sees" the blond man named Captain Fei gathered with several other innate warriors in the building. They were talking secretly.

Lin Zong smiled faintly, and I'm afraid no one would have thought that there was a spiritual consciousness in the village that was even more powerful than ordinary venerables, exploring all this.

"Haha. Captain Fei, I heard that you grabbed the braids of those yellow-skinned slaves again yesterday?" a congenital warrior asked with a smile.

"Bah!" The blond man looked depressed: "I saw a ghost yesterday! Someone clearly saw Zou Liu and the others disappear there, but there was no fart after leaving the soil! Humph, there was still a piece of that thing, vomit, damn, it was so disgusting! It didn't matter if Zou Liu and the others disappeared, but unfortunately they didn't find any trouble with the yellow-skinned slaves. They originally planned to kill a few more people to stop."

"Haha, Captain Fei, don't worry. I'll take a little bit of it. I don't know how many yellow-skinned slaves have been worn out over the years, and only these old, young, women and children who have lost their fighting spirit are left. We are much easier than before!" Another innate warrior smiled.

The blonde man still muttered dissatisfiedly: "I really don't understand what the city is doing. These yellow-skinned slaves were killed directly! Why should we be careful and try every means to find some reasonable excuses to get rid of them?"

"Captain Fei!" Several innate warriors' faces changed when they heard this. A innate warrior said in a deep voice: "The city lord commands us to just execute them. You don't know, I don't know, so that everyone can live long. Moreover, we can get unimaginable rewards because of this. If Captain Fei wants to find out, don't implicate everyone!"

"Sorry, sorry, I just said something wrong! Look, I was all so angry that I was newly emerged!"

The blonde man shrank his head in fear.

A congenital warrior narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you find out the details of the two newcomers?"

"It's almost done!" The blonde man curled his lips: "From the breath of that black-haired boy, he should be around the mysterious level. However, that woman is not only a congenital master, but she looks really tempting!"

"Well. Just don't have any threats. Don't mention the innate masters, even the heavenly master immortal martial arts powerhouses are useless when they come!" A innate warrior sneered in relief. "By the way, how many yellow-skin slaves have died this month?"

"Hehe. They have run out of ammunition and food, and there are more than 300 people who have 'offended' us and killed us. Recently, there have been more and more yellow-skinned slaves who have starved to death. It won't take long to disappear! Hehe, it will neither alarm the upper part nor make the surrounding cities suspicious! It will satisfy the city lord!" said the blond man with a grin.

"Okay! We will soon have a huge reward! Everyone pray that the yellow-skin slaves will die soon! Hahahaha!"

"No, hahahaha! By the way, I just received a message from the City Lord's Mansion and heard that the City Lord's grandson was coming here."

"Oh? Are you going to come to find a yellow-skinned woman to vent?"

"No matter what he does, every time he comes, a group of unlucky yellow-skinned slaves will die. We will be in vain for the credit!"

"Not bad. Let the soldiers below brighten their eyes. The more yellow-skinned slaves died, I will remember the number carefully for me! Hehe, I don't know when I will reach the heaven level, so I can barely enter the sight of the city lord!"

In the fence courtyard, Lin Zong's face was already gloomy. He summarized the information he heard... There was indeed a conspiracy here!

After listening to it, several innate warriors in the small building began to talk about the news of the struggle between the wind, flowers, snow and moon, spiritual elixirs, and strange people. They even heard rumors about "him". It seemed that the entire Beiye Empire was also facing a kind of undercurrent.

However, Lin Zong was more concerned about the information about the "conspiracy". Unfortunately, several innate warriors knew nothing.

"It seems that the city lord is a bit mysterious." Lin Zong thought, and the corner of his mouth gradually bent into a cold curve: "No matter what, their purpose is to exterminate the vitality of Ancient River Village without disturbing all forces!"

"Then, I'll start from now on. Let's see what the city lord is planning!"

Lin Zong narrowed his eyes comfortably again. While evolving the power of the law in his mind, he was running the modified version of "Qingming Jue" filled the true energy in the dantian. The dry dantian gradually filled.

In my mind, the use of the rules is fast or slow, and the space is folded again and again, trying hard to find opportunities for breakthroughs.

Gugu!

While immersing in a wonderful state, a strange sound pulled Lin Zong back from his evolutionary state. When he opened his eyes, he found that Liu He and Liu Xia stopped practicing and stood there awkwardly.

"Master, Master, it's already very late. We are hungry..." Gugu~~, Liu He and Liu Xia lowered their heads in shame.

Only then did Lin Zong realize that it was evening before he knew it. Jiang Yun was still practicing beside him, but Liu Tieyun and his wife disappeared. "Where is Brother Liu and the others?" Looking at the two brothers and sisters who were hungry and trembling, Lin Zong couldn't help but blame him for being careless.

After reaching out, two pills appeared in his hands. The two brothers and sisters swallowed without hesitation. "Ah, they are warm and not too hungry. The uncle said that there was not enough rice and food at home, so he went out with his aunt to find food. When he went out in the morning, it was dark and he had not come back."

Lin Zong nodded. His spiritual consciousness immediately emanated. He swept through the houses full of silence, and finally found the traces of Liu Tieyun and his wife as soon as he entered the dilapidated courtyard.

I saw many people surrounding the courtyard. Everyone looked confused and sad, and they all remained silent. In the room, several elderly people from the village, Liu Tieyun and his wife were all around, all around a small bed.

On the small bed was a pair of elderly couples who were as thin as dry wood and were deeply entangled in their eyes. The elderly couple was already dying. The mouth was unable to open and close, and they refused the hot porridge fed by a sob pregnant woman.

"Leave it, leave it to those who need it..." The old man lying on the bed raised his eyelids with difficulty. The pregnant woman bit her lip, and tears fell drop by drop in the hot porridge. She looked at the elderly in the room begging.

Several old men sighed and shook their heads. "I can't turn the world back!"

Just a scan, Lin Zong understood the reason why the elderly couple was dying. The two old men had no nutrients in their bodies, which were entirely caused by hunger. If they hadn't had some internal strength to support them, they would have swallowed it, so they would have breathed a sigh of relief.

With a sharp look, Lin Zong had no time to greet Jiang Yun, and his body had already appeared in the small house full of despair as fast as possible. "I'll take a look!"

"Brother Lin!" Liu Tieyun said in surprise. Some people also recognized the newly entered the village guest.

Lin Zong didn't have time to say hello to everyone. He grabbed the pulse of the elderly couple and inputted a piece of spiritual power, looked at the pregnant woman and said, "Feat them the hot porridge quickly!"

Many people looked at Lin Zong. Liu Tieyun vigilantly, gritted his teeth, took the pregnant woman's bowl and spoon, and fed the hot porridge into the mouths of the elderly couple.

"Look! Live, live!"

"Really! Uncle Qiu and the others' faces are rosy!"

Everyone looked at Lin Zong with shock. I wonder how he did it. "Okay! OK! OK!" The village chief Gu Lao said three good words in a row. He looked gratefully at Lin Zong and said to Liu Tieyun: "You invite a good guest this time!"

The news that Qiu Bo and his wife rescued made the despair in the courtyard fade a lot. When they went out, everyone looked at Lin Zong and became respectful.

Lin Zong didn't care about everyone's impression. Looking at the village filled with silence, his heart felt as heavy as a mountain. He could save one person and two people, but he could not guarantee that tens of thousands of people were intact.

"It seems that whether it is forcing some people to reveal their background or allowing the whole village to survive, the food source problem needs to be solved as soon as possible!"

On the way back with Liu Tieyun, Lin Zong quickly thought about ways to not expose his own secrets and allow tens of thousands of people to survive. When passing a stone bridge, Lin Zong's eyes lit up and suddenly he had the attention that he could take effect immediately.

After returning, Lin Zong found the Liu He brothers and sisters and took them toss and struggled in the village forest. In the puzzled eyes of Liu Tieyun and his wife, they came back with several big trees on their backs.
