Chapter 136 I can’t help myself

Turn around, Qiongtai Fairy Garden, due south, outside Yuhua Gate.

Before daybreak, the eight immortal sects participating in the sect's martial arts competition each waved their flags and led their disciples to come here early, just waiting for the Jindan masters and the Dufeng Emperor to come on stage and announce the start of this martial arts performance.
p>

It should be said that Qiongtai Fairy Garden was originally the location of the hunting palace of the six southern states of Chengkang Kingdom. It had been famous in the world long before the founding of Dufeng Kingdom and had been passed down for a long time.

Later, due to the split of the Chengkang Kingdom, the world was in chaos. The Seventeenth Military Prefecture was full of wars, and countless thieves with other names gathered in the mountains and forests.

At this time, when the people have no food to eat and the war brings no peace, how can this treasure land of jade, gold nuggets and gravel survive the disaster?

After several plunders, a fire burned it into ruins, and for a hundred generations it was rarely seen.

It wasn't until Anwu was established as the capital of the Fufeng Kingdom that it was reclassified to the royal family. People were sent to garrison it from time to time, and it was repaired again, so that it looked like the past.

However, this is limited to the inner gardens, pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions. As for the surrounding areas, even if Emperor Dufeng had the intention, he would not have the national power to support such a large-scale project.

Because it was still early, disciples from various schools in the square were gathering in groups and talking quietly.

For this sect competition in Hanxi Mountain, more than a hundred disciples from the inner sect to the outer sect came to cheer, and naturally among them Lin Xiao, who was involved in the competition, was naturally indispensable.

But at this time, he was pushing through the crowd, walking towards the inner disciples as if he was looking for someone.

"Sorry, I borrowed it..."

Lin Xiao kept saluting while hiding the embarrassment on his face.

Just because of this journey, walking among the crowd, it seems that something has quietly changed overnight.

Some unintelligible glances followed him and stopped, some low and thin whispers suddenly stopped as he arrived, and some people simply saw him stunned for a moment, then smiling and clasping his fists, but the problem was, Lin Xiao thought to himself,

I don’t know this person at all.

"Is this the result of fame?..."

Lin Xiao secretly thought, smiling bitterly and shaking his head.

If a person with a good reputation faced this scene, he would definitely be proud of himself and overjoyed, but he is not a pushy person, and when faced with such a situation, he would even regret participating in that talisman competition.

But with this thought in my heart, I still have to do what needs to be done.

After calculating this night, Lin Xiao discovered that the whole "Ling Yun White Bud" matter has gradually escaped from control. Up to now, it is still unclear how to get it, but if it cannot be obtained, the result will be obvious.<

/p>

"This matter is difficult to handle..."

Lin Xiao sighed, looked up, and saw a figure not far away that he had been looking for for a long time.

With a smile on his face, Lin Xiao stepped forward and reached out to pat the man on the shoulder. "Senior Brother Wang, you can make it easy for me to find him!"

Wang Chong, who was chatting with several disciples, turned around and saw Lin Xiao, and was immediately overjoyed. "Brother Lin is looking for me? It's my turn to look for Brother Lin!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Xiao's wrist, pulled it forward, and introduced to several other Hanxi Mountain disciples: "This is Lin Xiao that I often mention, Deacon Lin, who also won the first prize in the talisman formation competition yesterday.

People."

When those disciples first heard about Lin Xiao's identity as the outer sect's deacon, there was a perfunctory look on their faces. But when they heard about the Talisman Formation's victory, their expressions changed immediately, they looked up and down, and they all cupped their fists and saluted.<

/p>

"It turns out that it was Deacon Lin who was disrespectful in person."

"I have seen the deacon, and I have admired him for a long time!"

"..."

Lin Xiao didn't care when he saw this. He immediately smiled and returned the greeting with fists in his hands.

"Senior brothers, you are too polite. I am a mere deacon with a humble reputation, but I cannot deserve such respect. I am here to ask Senior Brother Wang for some trivial matters, otherwise I would be really embarrassed to meet you all."

The disciples laughed and chatted non-stop.

Wang Chong, who was beside him, looked at the arrogant postures of these people in front of them and in the back, and felt a twinge of joy in his heart. Then he sighed, and then he apologized to everyone, left the place with Lin Xiao, and found a secluded place.

Let’s start the conversation again.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry, those guys..."

Lin Xiao raised his hand when he heard this, interrupting Wang Chong's words. "Brother Wang's good intentions, how could I not know? But there is always a difference between the inside and outside of this mountain gate. If they can do this, they have already betrayed your face, and I have benefited from it."

If you don’t get the light of the talisman formation competition, why else would I, the outer sect, be idle?”

Wang Chong looked anxious and said: "They have never thought that after this battle, Brother Lin, it will be just around the corner for you to return to the mountain gate, so why do you have to act like this?"

Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled. "In ancient times, it was rare to provide help in times of need, but most of it was the icing on the cake. If you and I get to know each other, we can know what we know. What does it have to do with others?"

After that, he didn’t mention the matter and said instead.

"Okay, I came here early today, but I have something important to ask you."

Wang Chong was startled when he heard this. "What's the important matter?"

Lin Xiao glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quietly stuffed a storage bag into Wang Chong's hand.

"There are no restrictions on taking it for your own use."

Wang Chong was a little confused after hearing this. He lowered his head and took a look inside with his spiritual sense. His eyes suddenly trembled and he found that there were more than twenty jade charms of various kinds inside, and they were all of good grade and power.

"Brother Lin, this, this..."

Wang Chong's voice trembled for a moment, and he was moved.

Lin Xiao saw this and held his wrist. "A few jade talismans are not a big deal. You should be more careful in there and be cautious when fighting with others."

In fact, this is indeed what Lin Xiao is thinking. Regardless of whether he can get the "Yunling White Bud" or not, he hopes that Wang Chong can persist here longer and gain more experience, so that this trip will be worthwhile.

As for other ideas, there are some, but they are just an afterthought, so I won’t mention them now.

Seeing Wang Chong's mood swings, Lin Xiao didn't want him to be too burdened by this, so he deliberately joked: "By the way, the 'Danyang Flowing Fire Talisman' and 'Fire Spirit Locking Talisman' that I temporarily learned from Pang Hui yesterday are also

I made two of them and put them in them. If you meet a disciple of the academy, remember to use them in person. It will probably be a lot of fun!"

Wang Chong actually laughed out loud when he heard this. "Brother Lin is really, really heart-wrenching... Moreover, this sect's competition is not about going into battle to kill the enemy. How can I use so many attack talismans?"

Lin Xiao said in a firm tone: "If each sect only sends one person to the battlefield, of course we can fight if we can, and if we can't fight, we can retreat. It doesn't hurt our dignity."

"But in the current situation, although I don't know the specific rules, it can be seen from the formation of teams to participate in the battle. Whether it is the emperor or Shofudo, they are all for the excitement and beauty of the scene. Who cares about the life and death of others?"
p>

"Just two people and ten monks collided in one place. Isn't it obvious that real fire was unleashed? Can you leave your fellow disciples and run away? I'm afraid no one can escape without a result."

Wang Chong also knew that what Lin Xiao said was the truth. Even during the drills in the past few days, several practitioners mentioned it, so he didn't say anything more, put it directly in his sleeve, and solemnly thanked him.

"Thank you so much, Brother Lin."

"What else can you thank me for?" Lin Xiao said, raising his head and walking a little behind him, "Okay, go back quickly. It's not appropriate to stay here with me for too long. I won't give you anything until the competition is over."

It’s not too late for you to catch the wind.”

Wang Chong looked back and saw several inner hall disciples waving to him, so he apologized, cupped his fists and saluted, and made an appointment with Lin Xiao to have a banquet later, then turned around and left the place.

Looking at Wang Chong's back, Lin Xiao could only sigh softly and walk toward the outer door.

But who would have thought that as soon as he took two steps, a sentence floated into his ears.

"The so-called showing courtesy for nothing is a traitor or a thief. Brother Lin's behavior is a bit weird..."

Lin Xiao was startled when he heard this. He turned around and saw that not far away, Lou Xuan crossed his arms and looked at him with his "one word", half-smiling but not smiling.

"Don't you know that people are scary and can scare people to death!"

As he said this, Lin Xiao walked forward without stopping.

Lou Xuan looked up and down and said, "You have something in your heart?"

"Sorry, no."

"If not, why do I smell a bit of conspiracy?"

"Hiss... I have a very close personal relationship with Senior Brother Wang, why don't you give him a gift today?" Lin Xiao glanced at him sideways and said: "Do you think everyone is like you, walking in secret all day long, not even seeing anything?

It’s black.”

Lou Xuan smiled silently. "It's okay if others say this to me. If you tell me, won't your face turn red?"

"Ahem..." Lin Xiao choked, knowing that this topic could no longer be discussed, so he hurriedly said: "By the way, I would also like to thank you for demonstrating the formation comparison method that day, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to break it.

Go to the jade talisman to win the red, let alone win the talisman formation competition."

Lou Xuan suddenly said, "Do you regret it?"

A sigh. "I regret it."

The same sigh. "I regret it too."

Lin Xiao asked strangely: "What regrets do you have?"

"Me?" Lou Xuan looked at the disciples from various sects in the distance without looking back, "You don't know how many people tried their best to put their claws into the mountain gate to spy on you after the talisman formation competition yesterday, and Lutang

How many nails did the director quietly pull out?"
