New and dark light years

Chapter 45 Fate

Su Huafang looked at An Zhijian's body with sadness in his eyes.

Zhao Hao said from the side: "Old Su, don't think too much. An Zhijian is asking for his own death, so you can't blame anyone else."

Su Huafang said, "I understand. It's just that I'm getting old. Seeing young people I once knew die before my eyes, even if it was my own doing, always makes me feel uncomfortable."

Bai Liwei walked over and patted Su Huafang on the shoulder to comfort him.

He is also old and understands Su Huafang's complicated emotions at this moment.

At this time, Zhao Hao said again: "The appearance of An Zhijian has given us a good excuse. Let's unify our statements and go back to tell the county magistrate that we felt something was wrong in Bobai Town, so we came back together to investigate the situation and discovered An Zhijian's collaborating with the enemy. How about we kill him?"

Su and Bai nodded. This was a good reason. Spirit hunters were responsible for investigating strange things.

Li Lin also smiled and nodded.

Su Huafang walked over and looked at the shrunken female heads. Suddenly, his sadness disappeared and he became very angry: "An Zhijian, that beast, really deserves to die."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Hao walked over and asked.

"These are all my Han women!"

Li Lin also walked over to take a look and found that the faces of these heads had become blurred, let alone the difference between the Han people and the southern barbarians.

However, when Bai and Zhao came over and looked at her for a while, they also said, "She is indeed a Han woman. What a beast."

Li Lin was a little confused, at least he couldn't see it.

On the contrary, Li Lin was more interested in another thing.

"Tell me, if the soldiers of this military town were really killed by An Zhijian, what was his motive?"

Zhao Hao laughed and said, "I don't care what his reasons are... Over a hundred soldiers in Bobai Military Town died tragically, but he's the only one left alive. Furthermore, he's a spirit hunter here. No matter what the reason, showing up after so many days, and bringing the southern barbarians with him, is a definite capital crime. There's no escaping it."

Although Zhao Hao's words made An Zhi firmly believe in his "guilt", which seemed a bit rough, it must be said that his words actually made sense.

Li Lin thought about it and decided not to pursue the matter anymore.

After all, sometimes, if you dig deeper into some things, the results may not be good.

Bai Liwei squatted down and searched An Zhijian for a while. In addition to dozens of taels of silver notes, he also found a handwritten secret book.

"Soul Refining and Body Strengthening Technique!" Bai Liwei muttered to himself while holding the notebook. He then opened it and read it for a while before he couldn't help but hissed, "What an evil technique."

Su and Zhao immediately came over.

Bai Liwei looked at it for a while and said, "You guys take it. I don't want to refine this thing."

"There's no distinction between good and evil in magic." Su Huafang took it, flipped through it casually, and said with a smile, "I'll take this for now. I'll help you streamline it when I get back. Many of the main ingredients in it can be replaced with other herbs. When you want to learn more, come back to me and I'll copy a new one for you."

Others naturally agreed.

"Speaking of secret manuals!" Zhao Hao slapped his palms fiercely. He pulled out a handwritten copy from his clothes and said, "Li Xunshu, this is the light body technique I talked about last time. I was so busy on the way here that I forgot about it. Take it!"

Li Lin took it. It was just a few thin pages of paper with the words "Willow Catkins Floating Thirteen Times" written on the cover.

He casually flipped through it and found this set of light body skills very interesting. It focused on dodging and lightness. Just looking at the movements in the diagram, it felt like willow catkins swirling down from the sky.

Hence the name.

This is exactly what Li Lin needs.

A qualified spirit hunter must have at least a set of physical skills, a set of internal skills or a method of nourishing Yin, and a set of light body skills.

You don't have to be very strong in these skills and martial arts, but you have to at least know how to use them. Only then can you establish yourself as a spirit hunter.

"Thank you!" Li Lin wasn't the type to take benefits from others for granted. He thought for a moment and said, "I only have one set of Thunderfall Curse here. I'll teach you!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the three of them waved their hands.

"Not learn."

"Need not."

"Do you want to harm us?" Zhao Hao smiled helplessly.

Li Lin's eyes widened, very confused: "How did I hurt you?"

Su Huafang explained with a smile, "Thunder magic is extremely masculine and yang, and naturally conflicts with Yin energy. We spirit hunters cultivate the Yin magic heart scripture, so practicing thunder magic is difficult. If you don't do it right, you may even go astray."

"How can I do that?" Li Lin was puzzled.

"Boy body."

The other three laughed.

Zhao Hao laughed the loudest. "Huang Ziyue gave you the Thunderfall Curse. We all know this. And the fact that you are a virgin is also known to everyone in the county government office."

Su Huafang continued, "Didn't you notice that the lightning spell you cast was blue and red?"

Li Lin nodded, he did find it.

Normal lightning is cyan or blue.

"Most spells driven by Yin Qi are red. Most spells driven by Yang Qi are cyan, white, or blue." Su Huafang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So, being a virgin is actually quite good. At least you can learn some special skills."

Li Lin was a little worried: "What if I get married in the future? Will I be unable to use this thunder technique?"

"That's not the case." Su Huafang explained carefully, "Almost all exercises and martial arts have the effect of strengthening the human body. If you practice Thunder Method well, you will naturally have sufficient Yang Qi. Don't neglect the practice of Yin Method Heart Sutra. With the balance of Yin and Yang, there will be no problem."

After hearing this, Li Lin felt relieved.

He clasped his fists and said to Zhao Hao, "Master Zhao, this manual is very useful to me. I owe you a favor. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to tell me."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction.

Bai Liwei came over and said, "It's almost time. We have to go back."

"it is good!"

The four of them carried their heavy bags and left the fortress, returning with a full load. Outside Shangtikou Village, Li Lin said goodbye to the other three and returned to the village.

It was noon, and many villagers were working in the village. When they saw Li Lin, they greeted him warmly.

Li Lin responded one by one.

He went to the altar first, wanting to say hello to the Tree Fairy, but found that she seemed not to be there!
Where did you go?

Li Lin felt a little strange, but when he returned home, he found that the Tree Fairy was floating inside.

"Madam Tree Fairy, why are you here? Please sit down!"

Li Lin was a little overjoyed. He put down the bag on his back and greeted them.

As soon as he put down his bag, the Tree Fairy held his left hand and licked his palm with her pink snake tongue.

Feeling a wave of comfort, Li Lin then remembered that last night was the day they had agreed to offer blood and qi, but he was busy outside.

After absorbing enough essence, the Tree Fairy Queen's beautiful face showed some satisfaction, and then she glared at Li Lin before slowly floating away.

Li Lin also put away the bag containing the gold ingots, then lay down on the bed and had a good sleep.

In the next few days, Li Lin continued his usual life.

Practice, and then teach Xiaohu the secrets of spearmanship and rejuvenation exercises.

After nine days, Li Lin went to the county town with four gold ingots.

He felt that he must have a house in the county town. He had a feeling that he might stay overnight here from time to time in the future.

If you don't have a place to stay, sleeping in an inn every day is also a hassle.

He first went to a real estate agency, where the agent took him to see several small houses with independent courtyards, but he didn't like any of them.

"Sir, if you don't like these, there's a great old house in the west of the city that you might consider."

"Oh, what's the explanation?"

Li Lin knew that if it was really a good house, no one would be interested in it now.

There must be something special wrong with it that most people can't accept.

The broker cupped his hands and said, "It's quite close to the temple of the Four Wonderful True Lords. The yin energy is very strong."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Lin thought about it, then shook his head. He didn't consider that place either.

A strong yin energy is beneficial for spirit hunters.

But Li Lin has a lot of secrets, and he doesn't want to live near the Four Wonderful True Lords. If the latter sees something, it will be difficult to deal with.

The Four Wonderful True Lords are not the Tree Fairy Queen, so they may not be so easy to talk to.

The broker thought for a while and said, "If you don't mind the sparse population, there is a large courtyard in the north of the county that can also be lived in."

"How big is it?"

"Three entrances!"

"Go and see!"

When I went to the north of the city, I saw that it was indeed a large courtyard with three entrances. The building structure was good, but it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time. There were weeds everywhere and a lot of spider webs in the house.

Li Lin looked at it for a while and asked, "It looks good, why doesn't anyone want it here?"

"This place is too far from the temple of the Four Wonderful True Lords," the broker said helplessly. "I heard that on nights with heavy yin energy, people living here can hear eerie cries."

"How much is the house deed?" Li Lin is a spirit hunter and can see that this place is still under the protection of the Four Wonderful True Lords.

It’s just that ordinary people have too much psychological trauma from the weirdness, so when they live in a sparsely populated place, they always feel scared and have auditory hallucinations.

When the broker heard this, he immediately became happy: "One hundred and thirty-seven taels of silver, we will hire someone to help you clean the place, but you have to buy the furniture yourself."

Li Lin directly handed a gold ingot to the broker and said, "Please buy the furniture for me, and three or four servants to do the work. If you think it's enough, I'll give you the rest as a reward."

Li Lin only lives in this place occasionally, but the place is too big and it will easily become dilapidated if left alone. He can hire a few people to take care of it. Then he won't have to go through the trouble of cleaning when he comes to stay for a while.

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir."

The brothel owner held the gold ingot and smiled from ear to ear.

I finally have a big client, of course I’m happy.

After the house issue was resolved, Li Lin started strolling around the county town.

In the past, when he came here, he always came and went in a hurry, firstly because he had to rush back to the village, and secondly because he had no money.

What's the point of wandering around without money?

But now it’s different. I have money and I feel much more relaxed.

He went to the best restaurant, ordered the best food and wine, and had a great meal.

Then, taking advantage of the slight drunkenness, he came to the lakeshore outside the county town.

There are many county residents who come here to enjoy the spring scenery. During the daytime when there are no spooky threats, it is very lively here.

Li Lin walked slowly along the embankment. The cool breeze was very pleasant, but not long after, it started to rain.

He hid in a pavilion, and soon four more people rushed in to take shelter from the rain.

Two women and two men in servants' uniforms.

When the two sides met, Li Lin was stunned, and the two women were also stunned.

Then Li Lin clasped his fists and said with a smile, "What a fate, Sister Huang."
