True enlightenment against heaven: Starting from the proud smile
Chapter 17 The Killing Begins
"Master, did you just...?"
Arriving inside the house, Mrs. Lin couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't worry, you two, just read this page first." Lao Lin directly handed over the first page of the letter.
The mother and son huddled together to check the contents.
Lao Lin just stared at his son's expression.
When he saw Lin Pingzhi's face suddenly turned pale and beads of sweat began to appear, his heart sank.
After a few seconds, the two of them read the content on the front page of the letter. They had the same reaction as Lao Lin when he read it. They were both a little dizzy from the huge amount of information.
After clarifying their thoughts a little, the two people's reactions were different.
Lin Ping subconsciously looked at the remaining letters in Lao Lin's hand. Mrs. Lin took the lead in looking at her son and asked with concern: "Pingzhi, did you really kill anyone during the day?"
When Lin Pingzhi was asked this question, he looked a little flustered and could only stumble and tell what happened during the day.
"So, what is said in the letter is true..." Mrs. Lin murmured, looking at her husband.
Lin Pingzhi was the same, even more anxious, "Father, the letter mentioned that our family's anti-evil sword manual is on the beam of the old house, and that cultivation requires... one needs to go to the palace. Is this true or false? !”
At this time, Old Lin had also calmed down. He sat on a back chair and looked at the two of them, "Now that's the case, I won't hide it anymore. Yes, as written in this letter, my Lin family's ancestral sword manual for warding off evil is indeed hidden." In the old house, the reason why we, the descendants, are not allowed to pass on the truth is because the cultivation conditions are too harsh."
Lin Pingzhi's young mind was a little excited, "Dad, that person wrote in the letter that he has fixed the defects in the secret book. Can we try to practice it?"
Lao Lin raised his hand, "Pingzhi, I just took a rough look at the secret book, and I haven't found any problems yet, but don't be careless about martial arts. You can't practice until you are completely sure that it is harmless. This is for your own good! Besides, the most important thing now is What matters is not the authenticity of the secret book, but the crisis of annihilation mentioned in this letter!"
Lin Pingzhi was anxious, but he also knew that what his father said was right.
Mrs. Lin on the side was much more mature. She came to sit next to Lao Lin and grabbed his arm, "What do you think?"
Old Lin's eyes fell on the letter in his hand, and he said worriedly: "This senior messenger can drive the letter into the stone wall. His skill is beyond our imagination. He knows the secrets of my Lin family, but he doesn't have any ideas about the sword manual. On the contrary, He reminded us aloud to help us revise. I really can’t find any reason why he deceived us.”
"Now is not the time to consider whether the content in the letter is true or false. What we have to do is how to deal with the crisis. We can't afford to offend any of the Qingcheng, Songshan, and Huashan factions. If it really doesn't work, let's run away overnight!" Mrs. Lin suggested.
"You can't run away!" Old Lin shook his head. "If everything in the letter is true, then my Lin family must be under surveillance now. I am afraid that only this senior messenger can come and go freely."
"Dad, since that person knows so much about the secrets of our family, he probably has an old relationship with my grandfather. Since he has already taken action once, why can't we continue to ask him for help?"
Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but ask. Although he knew it was shameful, his life had already entered a countdown, so how could he still have so many scruples.
Lao Lin didn't speak, just shook his head.
He didn't blame the child, he was just thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
But the more he thought about it, the less sure he felt. The other party's unwillingness to show up had already shown his attitude. Giving him reminders and helping to modify the secret book was more like repaying the past love.
Yes, his thoughts were similar to his son's, and he also believed that Lu Yuan was from his father's generation and had an old relationship with Lin Yuantu.
"This won't work, that won't work either. Shouldn't we do nothing and just wait for them to come and kill people and seize treasures?!" Lin Pingzhi was a little impatient. He didn't know whether it was because of the crisis, or he was taking the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction at not being able to see the secret book. .
"Pingzhi, sit down first!" Mrs. Lin comforted her son.
However, Lao Lin, who was looking sad at the side, seemed to be awakened and suddenly came to his senses, "Kill people and seize treasures... seize treasures!"
He hammered his palm and said, "Yes, the source of all this is the evil-dispelling sword manual!"
"Master, do you have a solution?"
Lao Lin nodded, and there was light in his eyes again. He lowered his voice and said, "This incident started because of the evil sword manual. We are like this, like this..."
The dense night passed by in an instant.
That night, some people fell asleep peacefully, while others tossed and turned.
At dawn, an anxious call broke the early morning tranquility.
"It's not good! Chief escort, Bai Er... he's dead!"
"What?! What's going on?"
"No...I don't know. I saw him fine when I got up in the morning, but when we met just now, he was already lying on the ground in the front yard, lifeless..."
The news quickly spread throughout the Lin Mansion.
Lao Lin, who looked serious, rushed to the scene of the incident with his wife, children and all the executioners from the escort agency.
On the side of the martial arts field in the front yard, the young man named Bai Er was lying on the ground, dead without any trace.
A group of old escorts came forward to check, but they couldn't find the wound.
Lao Lin pushed through the crowd, came closer, and pulled Bai Er's clothes apart, and saw a black and purple handprint on his chest.
People around him immediately asked what was going on.
Lao Lin was indignant and "suggested" that the murderer was a person who was proficient in mind-stimulating palm and had high internal strength. He also said that he would immediately investigate the matter and seek justice for his brother, and at the same time issue pensions.
After the arrangement was over, I never thought that just after the processing was completed, someone else came to report.
"Chief Escort, Escort Zheng is also dead, right at the stable!"
Everyone rushed over again, and the results of the examination showed that he also died of the Heart-Destroying Palm.
Old Lin performed another sad and angry performance, and after calming everyone down, he winked at his son.
Lin Pingzhi immediately stepped forward in "fear" and told everyone what happened yesterday. The focus was on the Qingcheng Sect's disciples molesting a good girl, and the accidental killing became justice and evil. He also gave a guess smoothly, "Dad, do you think this is the Qingcheng Sect's revenge? I heard that the head of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, is proficient in the Heart-Destroying Palm. Could it be..."
"Shut up!" Old Lin interrupted righteously, and said loudly: "Who is Master Yu? He is the face of a sect. How could he do such a despicable thing? Don't talk nonsense."
"I..." Lin Pingzhi looked aggrieved.
Old Lin frowned as if hesitating, "Take me to the place where you buried the body yesterday, and see if the dead man is really the son of Master Yu."
So the escort agency rode out of the city in a mighty manner. On the way, Old Lin made a secret arrangement, and several of his confidants took advantage of the chaos to leave the crowd.
At the Changjie Inn, Lu Yuan and the other two saw the scene below through the window, and they were a little expectant.
Lu Yuan sipped a cup of flower tea, "Lin Zhennan has already taken action, but I don't know what the effect will be."
"Should we follow him?"
Lu Huaer stared at the seafood side dishes that had just been served in front of her and was reluctant.
"No, they will be back soon."
As Lu Yuan said, the group who rushed to the inn yesterday turned over the land neatly and found the body, but the original Yu Renhao had now become the escort head Shi of their escort agency.
A feeling of anger and fear filled everyone's hearts.
As usual, Old Lin checked the wound, and then "his face was as heavy as water" and said nothing, and led everyone back.
As a result, as soon as they entered the city, a piece of news reached their ears.
It made "everyone" look horrified!
