Chapter 28 Lin Yan's New Vest, the Ninth Volume of the Strange Book trouble? Lin Yan's heart was slightly shaken. Could it be that Mr. Lu already knew everything? He was hesitating in his heart about how to start the conversation, but this old temple keeper who came from Qifeng City had already seen through everything? Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mr. Lu stroking his beard. "Last night, I killed the bear monster with one blow. This kind of fighting power is not ordinary in the Refining Essence Realm!" "..." Lin Yan's expression was frozen, and he felt a little complicated in his heart. Mr. Lu continued, "Han Zheng guessed that you have inner strength, but even with his vision, he couldn't imagine that there is such a brilliant person in the world..." "In just a few years, he has broken through the shackles of the human body, surpassed the scope of human power, and achieved the realm of refining essence. It is really amazing!" Mr. Lu did not hide his admiration in his eyes.
"Yesterday you defended the city for a thousand steps, killed the bear monster, and exterminated the evil spirits. It is impossible to succeed if you are below the Refining Essence Realm." "Besides, you are already deeply involved in the Zhao Jing incident and are a major suspect." "At this moment, Gaoliu City, both inside and outside, is paying close attention to you, and there are too many suspicious points about you." "Two years ago, you had not yet entered the second level of martial arts. Today, you have revealed your cultivation in the Refining Essence Realm, which is enough to cause a huge stir, and the news will even spread to Qifeng Prefecture." "The cultivation level of the Refining Essence Realm is not enough to suppress the waves coming from all sides, so before being strong enough, appearing too outstanding is not necessarily a good thing." When Mr. Lu said this, there was a hint of emotion in his tone, as if he was reminiscing about the past. "A genius with the potential to become a strong man." "But even the strongest in this world will fall." "What about the genius who has not yet grown up?" “There are always many geniuses who die young, and there are even more who are strangled because their potential is too high and they threaten others.” Mr. Lu said this and added more tea to the cup: "I have a way to get you out of this situation temporarily." Lin Yan said solemnly: "I am willing to listen to Mr. Lu's teachings." Lord Lu spoke again, saying, "People from all sides all think that the evil spirits and chaos in Linjiangfang yesterday were quelled by me." "Mr. Lu is willing to take responsibility for this matter?" "No!" Mr. Lu looked at Lin Yan, smiled, and said, "I don't like to take credit, nor do I like to take on trouble." He said leisurely: "You can't take on this credit now, nor can you take on the trouble behind the credit, so I will create a person for you to take on all of this." Lin Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Do we need to create something to further verify this?" "This old man's words are proof!"
Mr. Lu said slowly: "So, this 'mysterious man' not only killed the bear monster and exterminated the evil spirit, but also assisted in the city defense, blocked the gap, and guarded the six hundred steps forward and backward." "In this way, I, the flag bearer, can only barely defend the 360-step city defense range." "To hold on to 360 steps, you must have at least internal strength. You can't hide this." Mr. Lu said so. Lin Yan also understood. From today onwards, he can continue to hide his cultivation in the Jing Lian Realm, but to the outside world, he can only display his inner strength. "However, you are still so young, and you have become strong in just a few years. This is enough to make Gaoliu City wary. You must be cautious in the future." "Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Lu." "In addition, the appearance of this 'mysterious man' naturally makes him a major suspect in the murder of Zhao Jing." Lord Lu said calmly: "So, from now on, you still need to find clues and prove your innocence in the matter of 'Zhao Jing'." Lin Yan originally thought that this new alias, once created, would have nothing to do with him after being convicted. But after listening to what Mr. Lu said, it seemed that this vest had another purpose? "I am not greedy for merit, because there is another point. Young people like you will need merit in the future." Lord Lu stroked his beard and said, "If you can handle the trouble in the future and come back to tell about this matter, it will be a great achievement! Therefore, I dare not take credit for myself, lest I be resented by the young people in the future and become enemies for nothing..." "Lord Lu, you are too kind!" Lin Yan stood up and bowed. "I have always thought that you, a young man, are cold as ice, arrogant and conceited. But now it seems that you still know how to behave." Mr. Lu smiled and said, "If that's the case, I have mentioned Zhao Jing so many times, why don't you tell me the truth?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yan immediately confessed his crime and told him everything that happened yesterday. However, as Lin Yan continued to speak, Mr. Lu's eyes gradually became more serious. Lin Yan also looked solemn as he said, "I cut this man in half, and he fell off the city wall and into the darkness, but he still survived. Logically speaking, he must be a demon!" "But this person once served as a garrison soldier at the Liuzun Temple, and now he is a high-ranking member of the city's defense force. Last night, he even appeared with a willow branch as a night lamp..." "The Guantian Tower is good at identifying evil spirits, but it can't detect the abnormality of this person?" Lin Yan's tone was solemn, but he couldn't help but think of "Chen Yuannu" in his heart. When they entered Gaoliu Castle during the day, the Guantian Tower was still unaware. Moreover, this woman had no breathing, no body temperature, and her feet did not even touch the ground. She was walking in the darkness, serving beside the demon tiger. Similar to Zhao Jing, both can walk in the dark and are not afraid of daylight! If they are human, why can they walk in the dark without being invaded by evil spirits? If it was an evil spirit, how could it walk in broad daylight, unafraid of the willow branches lighting up the night, and yet fail to detect anything unusual in the Observatory? "It's so weird, it's really rare." Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said, "However, I vaguely remember that there is a record in the secret cabinet of the classics library in the main building of the Jiantian Division in the inner city!"
When Lin Yan heard this, he understood and nodded in agreement. But at this moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him. Then he heard him speak hesitantly. "When Zhao Jing was killed yesterday, his upper body fell down, and a strange pattern suddenly appeared in his palm." "This thing is oval in shape, with about eighteen lines, nine red and nine black." "Later, the upper half of Zhao Jing's body disappeared, leaving behind the words of revenge." "I have been feeling uneasy today. I feel that the pattern is very strange." Lin Yan said this with a serious tone, looking at Mr. Lu. Then Mr. Lu's expression gradually became solemn. Seeing this, Lin Yan's heart trembled slightly. Sure enough, Mr. Lu knew about this thing! He is the most knowledgeable person in the entire Gaoliu City at the moment, without a doubt. He had previously guessed in his mind that, looking throughout Gaoliu City, only Lord Lu could possibly give him an answer! "Strange! If Zhao Jing had this thing, he wouldn't have fallen to this point..." Mr. Lu whispered, then looked up at Lin Yan. Lin Yan's expression remained normal, but he asked, "Mr. Lu, do you recognize this item?" Mr. Lu withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I have some vague impression, but I can't remember clearly." "..." "It's not that I concealed it on purpose, I just flipped through it casually back then." Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said, "It should be in Qifeng City, the ninth volume of the Eternal Wonder Book." Then, without waiting for Lin Yan to answer, he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry. This book doesn't record demons or evil spirits, but divine objects in the world." "This kind of magical object is extremely mysterious. Since it appeared in Gaoliu City, we should learn more about it." "I will write a letter later, and use the Heavenly Supervisory Office to send a message to the Wutong Temple in Qifeng City, and have them copy this page and send it to Gaoliu City."
