Chapter 24 Martial Arts Tournament

When everyone heard Lu Zhan's name, they all looked at him. So many eyes came to him at once. Lu Zhan was nervous and didn't know where to look. Disciple B seemed a little unresponsive and asked, "Master, what did he say he was looking at?" What?" Disciple C said, "It must be the cultivation rings of Brother Jiang and Brother Lin." Disciple B said, "No wonder, Brother Jiang and Brother Lin rely on their ability. Only Brother Jiang has two rings in our academy. Brother Lin, who wouldn't be jealous?" Disciple C said, "What's more, he framed Brother Lin before. In the end, all the disciples from outside were scared away, which simply ruined the face of our Hengtian Sect."

Lu Zhan heard their conversation, lowered his head on the table, clenched his fists, and exposed his veins. The Master patted the table and said, "Quiet." After that, he continued to teach. This kind of thing would not be easy for anyone, let alone an arrogant and domineering person.

Shen Lan saw Lin Zhihui's cultivation ring and said, "Xiao Hui, this is the first time I got a cultivation ring. Do you know how to use it?" Lin Zhihui said, "In addition to the function of preserving and repairing memories, I didn't find anything else. "Mother Lin said, "Turn the ring to the center of your middle finger, and then press the silver embellishment. "The embellishment is a small piece of gemstone, which is very dazzling. Lin Zhihui did so, and then pressed it and found that there was a sword hidden in the space. , with sharp edge and ice soul in ecstasy, Mother Lin said, "There is a weapon hidden in every ring, and this sword is just right for you."

Lin Zhihui was very happy. The sword could still recognize its owner. It circled around Lin Zhihui several times in the air. Lin Zhihui stretched out his hand, and then it slowly fell into Lin Zhihui's hand. Mother Lin said, "Okay. , this sword will be yours from now on, now you can give it a name."

Lin Zhihui asked, "Didn't it have a name originally?" Mother Lin said, "The weapon in the ring is kept by the owner, so the name should also come from the owner." Lin Zhihui picked up the sword and looked at it carefully and said, "Look The sword god Bing Jie can make people feel ecstasy, so I will call him ecstasy. "

Each ring hides a weapon, so Jiang Yuan already has three. Thinking of this, Lin Zhihui suddenly felt a sense of disparity. However, his parents also had several rings, but they used the same kind of weapon every time, so he asked, "Mother, did your Hua Luo Sword also come from a ring?"

Shen Lan said, "Yes, Hua Luo is the first time I got the sword in the cultivation ring." Lin Zhifu asked, "Why have I only seen you use Hua Luo and never seen you use weapons in other rings?" Shen Lan looked at the red ring she was wearing and said, "The first time I saw Hua Luo, I was impressed by its courage. I could feel my whole hand shaking when I held the hilt of it. When I held it in my hand, I could feel a different power. This power was so powerful that I decided it was my only weapon. "

Lin Zhihui couldn't believe that a sword could have such magical power. Shen Lan continued, "Maybe you will get other cultivation rings in the future, but if you can identify a weapon, don't replace it. They He is very spiritual and understands the feelings of the director. "Lin Zhihui picked up the rapture and performed a set of sword skills. The sword was as white as jade, and its body was as light as a giant. Its sharpness was unstoppable wherever it went. It was indeed a superb weapon. sword.

Lin Zhifan took the opportunity to practice swordsmanship and familiarize himself with the sword. The sword had already recognized its master and could only be used by Lin Zhifan. When Lin Zhifan called its name, it would immediately unsheathe and fly towards its master. After practicing for an entire afternoon, Lin Zhifan had almost mastered the sword of the sword.

"It's really a good sword." Lin Zhifan was practicing swordplay when he heard someone talking. The person who came applauded and congratulated him. Lin Zhifan saw that it was Jiang Yuan and said, "What is there to congratulate? Don't I always fail to congratulate you every time you get a weapon?" Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Although this sword is sharp, it is too light and not as stable as my Ruyi."

"Ruyi? Your sword is called Ruyi?" Lin Zhihui felt funny when he heard Jiang Yuan's sword name. Why did it sound like a girl's name? Jiang Yuan said, "What's wrong with Ruyi? Everything goes as you wish, every year goes as you wish, every day goes as you wish. Such an auspicious name is perfect for my sword." Lin Zhihui said, "Good, good, good, What you said makes sense. Ruyi is indeed very auspicious, as long as you like it." After saying this, he was still thinking about the word "ruyi".

Jiang Yuan asked, "I wonder what your sword is called?"

"Ecstasy."

"Pfft" was the first name Jiang Yuan heard, but when he saw Lin Zhihui's eyes, he immediately changed his expression and said, "Ecstasy is good, just draw the sword and make the enemy ecstasy." Lin Zhihui shook his head and said, " That's not what I meant by the name I gave it."

"Huh? What's the point of that?"

"The first time I saw it, I thought it was flawless and flawless, which made people ecstasy, so..."

"Oh~, that's it. It's pretty good, a nice name."

"Does your previous weapon have a name?" Lin Zhifu asked, "No."

"No wonder I haven't seen you use it before."

Jiang Yuan said, "I don't think I need it in the pie. I just left it in the house and never touched it." "I didn't see you taking it with me when I went down the mountain last time." Jiang Yuan said absently, "After leaving it for a long time, I forgot about it. There's still this."

"By the way, did you come to Qingfengju just to see my sword?" Lin Zhifu asked.

"I happened to be passing by and stopped by to take a look."

"Then you have something else to do?"

"Um."

"Okay, then you go and do your work first." Lin Zhihui felt that if something happened, it would be better to finish it first. Lin Zhihui didn't like procrastination.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan said and left.

In the evening, Lin Feng said, "In order to celebrate the suppression of the bandits, the Nanjing Saintian Faction is planning to hold a martial arts competition, and specially invites each faction to participate in the battle. The top three will also be presented with magic secret books." Lin Zhifu asked, "Then I Can I not participate? I don't want to go. "I don't know why, but Lin Zhihui feels very repelled by Nan Jing. This may be a sign of the coming storm.

Lin Feng handed the invitation letter to Lin Zhihui. There were two lines of regular script written on it, which meant that the disciples mentioned above must participate in the martial arts competition. Now that the world is peaceful, there can be no shirk. If anyone uses the excuse not to come, he will be punished. Don't be afraid of being ridiculed by other sect disciples when his name is announced at the conference.

Lin Zhi angrily slapped the invitation letter on the table and said, "This is not an invitation letter, it is clearly a threatening letter. The Shuntian faction is simply too arrogant." Shen Lan said, "The Shuntian faction took advantage of the suppression of bandits. The reputation is rising rapidly. Many people have been saved from the fire and water. It is inevitable that people will turn around. Even if we, the Hengtian Sect, are well prepared, it is still a step too late. Even the eastern border of the Qing Emperor and the northern border of Feng Tang have some other All the small sects have received help from the Shun Tian sect." Lin Feng sighed and said, "Now some people are starting to make trouble in these places, saying that our Hengtian sect doesn't care about them, and these places are going to split and submit to the Shun Tian sect."

Lin Zhihui felt very incredible after hearing this and said, "Why do these people think like this? Just because of the help of the Shuntian Sect, they completely forgot about the constant protection of the Hengtian Sect and what benefits the Shuntian Sect has given them. It's so ungrateful."

Lin Feng said, "The Shuntian sect is rising, and supplies are scarce. There may be no benefits. However, the Shuntian sect is quite capable of deceiving people. Not only in the eastern part of the Qing Dynasty, but also among the people of all the sects who have been helped, there are more or less similar people. question."

"Isn't the Shuntian sect a small sect? It's not half as big as the Qing Emperor. Why is it so easy to suppress bandits? How can they have so many disciples scattered all over the country to suppress bandits for the people?" Lin Zhifu asked.

Shen Lan said, "This is what your father and I were wondering about before, so we checked it out when we went to Nanjing."

"What's going on?" Lin Zhihui asked anxiously.

Shen Lan said, "There are not many disciples of the Suntian sect in Nanjing, but wherever they go, they try their best to persuade the local people to join forces to suppress the bandits. They are filled with righteous indignation and have great ambitions. There are many young and middle-aged people among the people. Hot-blooded, they convinced them that they had no weapons, so they used farm tools to fight against the bandits..."

Lin Zhifan had seen the power of bandits and robbers. They had no real skills, but only a fierce appearance. They were all wanderers who made a living by robbing. If a few disciples of cultivation really came out, they would be scared away. Lin Zhifan said, "Then they would eat and live with the people, fight against the enemy together, influence the people, and seduce the people?"

Lin Feng said, "Yes, that's right." Lin Zhifan said, "Shuntian Sect is really treacherous and deliberate. What is its purpose?" Lin Zhifan couldn't help but think of the worst, "Is Shuntian Sect's ambition to become the largest sect in Tianxuan?" This idea is obviously valid, but there is not enough evidence to prove it. Lin Feng and Shen Lan didn't say anything, and they probably guessed it a long time ago.

What Lin Zhihui didn't expect was that in addition to the names of his father's uncles, it also had his own name. Although Lin Zhihui ranked second among his peers, the Hengtian sect had so many disciples, and the magic spirit There are many powerful people, so why did you invite yourself to go? Maybe it was because you had made great achievements in suppressing bandits and obtained the cultivation ring. But as Lin Zhihui moved his eyes down the list, he realized that things were not what he thought.

Not only was he going, but many disciples who had not obtained the cultivation ring were also on the list, such as Lu Zhan, Wei Ji, etc. These disciples all had high-quality magic power. What surprised Lin Zhihui was that Lu Zhan was arrested as soon as he was released from the ban. Invited to the martial arts competition, the Shuntian faction is really rebellious and not afraid of trouble. But I found that Jiang Yuan's name was written in the last place. Jiang Yuan was the most talented person of the Qing Emperor. Isn't it obvious that Jiang Yuan's name was written in the last place to humiliate the disciples of the Qing Emperor?

Lin Zhihui couldn't bear it. The Shuntian faction relied on its reputation in suppressing bandits to be so arrogant and domineering without any respect. Lin Zhihui decided that he would definitely go. Let’s see where the confidence of his Shuntian faction comes from?

Lin Feng said, "Xiao Hui, since you have decided to go, be careful in everything. From the incident of the Saintian faction's suppression of bandits, we can see that its purpose is not simple. In previous years, the martial arts tournament was a competition between various factions. This is the first time. In all discussions between factions, we must proceed with caution no matter what."

Lin Zhihui said, "Father, don't worry, the Shuntian sect just wants to use the martial arts competition to show off its achievements in suppressing bandits. What can such a proud and complacent sect be afraid of? If it is not just a martial arts competition, there will be nothing." Things." Shen Lan couldn't help but frown when she heard what he said.
