Chapter 44: Promise

The vulture looked like he thought of something. After a long time of silence, he said in a low voice: "You are right. If you ask your senior brother to help you, even if you successfully kill Yu Canghai, you will no longer belong to you in your life."

Lin Pingzhi looked at the vulture. His expression was declining at this moment. Compared to half a day ago, it was really different. He seemed to be unaware of Lin Pingzhi's eyes and said softly: "You kid, you can think of these things. I really don't know if your parents should be happy or angry?"

When Lin Pingzhi heard his parents mention his calm expression from beginning to end, he smiled reluctantly and said, "If my parents told me what to do, even if I die, I will do it. But I dreamed every night that they only dreamed that they let me live well. Since this is my parents' wish... I must do it." He remembered that in Fuzhou, he was furious and angry, and he would cause trouble for his father every time, but no matter what punishment he received, he would not be able to restrain him.

"After my father and mother died, I didn't hurt anyone, I almost never attacked anyone, I didn't cause any trouble... Will Dad be happy?"

When he thought of this, a kind of involuntary sadness filled his chest instantly, as if a faint flame occupied his heart in an instant.

The vulture looked at Lin Pingzhi, and his expression changed a lot without realizing it. It was no longer as cold as before, but was a little gentler. He sighed and said, "You kid, you are lucky. Everyone wants your "Sword of Evil-Repelling" to you. Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect is a famous hypocrite in the world. You were deceived by him into the sect and have not died for so many years. It is a miracle that is not big or small." He paused and said, "However, it's a blessing for you to only know half of the sword score. If you had the original sword score, you would have been assassinated by them at this moment."

Lin Pingzhi said lightly: "My master's reputation as a 'gent sword' is known to everyone in the world. I want to take back the word "hypocrite" by seniors."

The vulture stared at him, laughed and said, "You were deceived by him, it's ridiculous."

Lin Pingzhi quietly responded to his gaze and said, "Where is ridiculous?"

The vulture put away his smile, snorted coldly, and said, "I don't know how he deceived you, but it depends on your swordsmanship, which is extraordinary and bad. You will know how Yue Buqun treats you."

After hearing what he said, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but feel bitter. He remembered that over the years, he had been following Gao Genming to practice swords, but he was always indifferent to pursue the "correct sword technique" of other senior brothers, which led to a mess of sword techniques.

He used to believe that he was so stagnant because he had not been able to meet the guidance of a master. He always imagined that one day Tang Jinlou could guide him in his swordsmanship, so that he could make progress... But today Gao Genming was invincible on the court, making his heart feel as if he was soaked in ice water. He finally understood that Gao Genming, whom he had always ignored, was already outstanding in the Huashan Sect. Even if he was placed in the martial arts world, he could represent the masters of the sect.

Lin Pingzhi sighed and said, "I have poor sword skills, but I can't blame anyone else."

Seeing his expression, Sha Tianjiang was slightly surprised and said, "You said that there are really people in the world who are willing to offend Yu Canghai for just one justice. Are you taking you in?" He said, smiling sarcastically, "Even if it is Shaolin and Wudang, I don't believe they can do this."

Lin Pingzhi smiled strangely and said, "Oh? Then why should others save me for? Is "The Evil-Breaking Sword Book"?"

Sha Tianjiang said: "Of course it's the "Sword of Evil-Breaking Sword". If you get the Sword of Evil-Breaking Sword of Evil, you will practice it carefully and one day you will be able to dominate the martial arts world."

Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath and said, "Senior Sha, you said it right. I thought so back then."

Sha Tianjiang raised his eyebrows and looked at him with some surprise.

Lin Pingzhi sneered and said, "What's so strange about this? I was so extreme at that time. I just thought that the Lin family's revenge should be avenged with the "Sword of Evils"..." He sneered, as if he was not talking about himself. "Now when I think about it, I just had fantasies about the Sword of Evils at that time. Not only did I hope I could take revenge, but I also hope that one day I could become a true master and become famous in the world. This way..." He said here, paused slightly, as if he felt a little difficult, but he still sneered and said, "In this way, even if the master has any covetousness of my Sword of Evils, I will not be afraid."

Sha Tianjiang opened his mouth, and was really surprised. Seeing Lin Pingzhi defending the Huashan Sect everywhere, he always thought that he was young and ignorant, and was deceived by Yue Buqun. He didn't expect that he had thought so thoroughly before and was clearly very careful about the Huashan Sect, but his changes were far apart. What did Yue Buqun do?

Sha Tianjiang said: "So, Lao Sha, I am meddling in other people's business."

Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly and said, "Senior Sha and Senior Bu, for a promise, have been running for Zuo Lengchan for twenty years. Lin Pingzhi really admires such a strong sense of righteousness."

Sha Tianjiang's face slightly darkened and he said, "What do you mean?"

Lin Pingzhi looked at the void one meter in front of him, as if thinking about something, and said slowly: "I guess the leader of the Zuo Alliance hopes that Senior Sha can bring back the full set of the Evil-Repelling Sword Score. As for Lin Pingzhi, it is really useless."

Sha Tianjiang snorted and said, "You guy, you don't have oil and salt. I, Lao Sha, can only kill people and can't ask anything. Since that's the case, I'm too lazy to worry about it, so why bother you all over your body?" He said, but sighed and said, "If you didn't have this hard bone, Lao Sha wouldn't be too lazy to talk to you."

Lin Pingzhi seemed to have no idea of ​​his appreciation and said, "Don't you hit me, I will tell you the first half of the Evil-Breaking Sword Book, that you can dedicate him to the Zuo Alliance Leader. In this way, your promise will be complete. I believe that Senior Bu's spirit in heaven will be happy if he knows it."

Sha Tianjiang frowned and said, "What are your conditions?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "The condition is that the Zuo Alliance will mainly kill Yu Canghai so that you can give him this half of the sword score."

Sha Tianjiang shook his head and said, "I don't believe what you said."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Why?"

Sha Tianjiang took a deep breath and said, "Although I am indeed reckless, do you think I am a fool? As long as I send you to the leader of the Zuo Alliance, my mission will be completed. As for how he will get the "Sword Sword from you, it has nothing to do with me." He looked at Lin Pingzhi's eyes and continued, "If you give me a fake sword score casually, I will let you go... Who do you think I am? Is it so easy to cheat?"

Lin Pingzhi's expression remained unchanged and said, "I don't want to know the grudges between you and Zuo Lengchan, nor do I know what your promise is. However, I can tell you that you only have this opportunity to get half of the "Sword of Evil-Breaking Sword" for Zuo Lengchan, and I will never hand over the sword score to him directly."

Sha Tianjiang smiled gloomyly and said, "Do you know how powerful the torture of the Songshan Sect is? If you turn around there, even the gods will speak."

Lin Pingzhi said lightly: "That doesn't matter, because if I see Zuo Lengchan, I will commit suicide immediately."

Sha Tianjiang said, "I don't believe it. Your parents have a great revenge. Don't you want to avenge them? As long as you hand over the sword guide to the leader of the Zuo Alliance, he can avenge you. Why do you have to die?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "If I ask my senior brother to take action, I really don't have to die. Just do that, he can help me avenge my great revenge, but I will never be able to repay this great kindness. Lin Pingzhi lives in the world and has no parents or brothers anymore. If he can't relax, he might as well die immediately."

Sha Tianjiang said with some appreciation: "You are right. If you ask your senior brother to take action, your half of the "Sword of Evil-Baring Sword" will not help him, but if you ask the leader of the Zuo Alliance to take action, he will kill Yu Canghai for you, and you give him "Sword of Evil-Baring Sword", this is clearly a business, and you two do not owe each other... I didn't expect that you could think clearly about these things at a young age, which is really rare."

Lin Pingzhi said with some vicissitudes of life: "How is it, Senior Sha, are you willing to help me?"

Sha Tianjiang said, "Give me the sword score and leave?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded.

Sha Tianjiang smiled and said, "No." He looked at Lin Pingzhi, "You said everything you said, just talk to the Zuo Alliance Leader, there is no need to talk to me too much. If you run away this time, where will I go to find you? You said you are worried that the Zuo Alliance Leader will kill you, but I don't believe it." He looked at Lin Pingzhi jokingly and said, "The Zuo Alliance Leader has always spoken for a word and never breaks his promise. As long as he promises you not to kill you, he will definitely not kill you. What's more... If you have a complete set of the Evil-Breaking Sword Skill, he might be worried that you will leave it to others' hands, or even practice it by yourself. But you only have half of it, and your swordsmanship is simply outrageous. Do you think the Zuo Alliance Leader would worry about you?"

Lin Pingzhi stared at Sha Tianjiang, listened quietly to him, and suddenly laughed.

"Senior Sha, do you know, who do I admire the most in Huashan Sect?"

Sha Tianjiang didn't know why he suddenly said this, frowned and looked at him without saying anything.

Lin Pingzhi seemed to be unprepared to let him answer, and he said to himself: "It's my seventh senior brother, Tang Jinlou."

Sha Tianjiang was stunned and thought for a while. The image of a boy appeared in his mind. He blurted out: "Is that boy?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Does Senior Sha also know my senior brother seven?"

Sha Tianjiang snorted coldly and said, "This kid is a bit famous in the world. A few days ago, even the Mingtuomu Peak in Sebei was killed by him. My elder brother was at the scene at that time, but he didn't know what methods he used..." He thought of this and said in a low voice, "What do you admire him?"

Lin Pingzhi said lightly: "I admire his skillful swordsmanship. No one can compare on Mount Hua." He said that no one can compare on Mount Hua, but Sha Tianjiang didn't care. He just said that he was comparing among the second-generation disciples of the Huashan Sect. Lin Pingzhi paused and continued: "What I respect most was that when I was most disappointed, when I could not bring him any benefits... I sincerely promised me to teach me the Huashan sword technique so that I could seek revenge on Yu Canghai."

Sha Tianjiang said coldly: "Is it after the sword guide was destroyed?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Not bad."

Sha Tianjiang sneered and said, "It's good that he can kill Mu Gaofeng. He wants to teach you the sword technique so that you can take revenge. Although he is a little arrogant, it is not outrageous. It's just that a few years have passed, and I see that your sword technique cannot be worse than it is. Your senior brother is indeed worthy of admiration."

Lin Pingzhi moved the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said, "In the past few years, he has never really stayed on Mount Hua for a moment. Even when he returned to Mount Hua, he often practiced swords at Siguo Cliff and Chaoyang Peak. Senior Sha thought he deliberately lied to me, but I didn't think so. Although my sword skills were extremely poor, I always believed that as long as Senior Brother Seven taught me personally, I would always have the chance to avenge my great revenge for ten or twenty years."

Sha Tianjiang had no idea about Tang Jinlou's martial arts, but he just thought that even a second-generation disciple had outstanding talent and how powerful he could be.

Lin Pingzhi said: "That day, before I destroyed the "Sword of Evil-Breaking Sword" by the cliff, I read it once. At that time, I was silently remembering this half of the "Sword of Evil-Breaking Sword", and maybe I could find the other half in the future and get a complete sword score. However, after reading the first sentence, I was deeply shocked..."

Lin Pingzhi's face suddenly turned pale when he said this, and he remembered the helplessness and blows he had back then.

Sha Tianjiang frowned and said, "What is the first sentence? "

Lin Pingzhi shook his head without answering, but continued, "At that time, only Senior Brother Tang and Senior Sister Su were on the edge of the cliff. Senior Sister Su did not hear what I read clearly... But Senior Brother Tang has a deep skill, and I know that he knew very clearly about the content of the sword score I read."

Sha Tianjiang looked at him with a little shocked and confused. He knew that the first sentence of the Evil-Breaking Sword Note must have hidden a huge secret, otherwise Lin Pingzhi would not be so excited.

Lin Pingzhi recalled the situation back then, sighed for a long time, and said, "Evil-Breaking Sword Book, everyone wants to get it, but after I have read that half, I know that at least Senior Brother Tang and I will never want to see that sword book again."

Sha Tianjiang looked at him and said carefully: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe others value things that you don't think are worth it."

He said cautiously, but Lin Pingzhi's reaction still surprised him. Lin Pingzhi suddenly burst into laughter when he heard what he said. His laughter was full of desolation and helplessness, which made the vulture Shatianjiang, a master who had been rampant in the world for many years, couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

Lin Pingzhi had a look of inexplicable loss in his eyes, but he said maniaclysm: "Even I don't want that sword score. As the most outstanding disciple of the Huashan Sect, how could he care about that kind of evil thing?"

Sha Tianjiang couldn't help but ask in a burst of voice: "What exactly is written in the upper half of the Evil-Breaking Sword Score?"

Lin Pingzhi glanced at him, and Sha Tianjiang was shocked. He saw that his eyes were already red, and even his body was trembling. This made Sha Tianjiang feel a little scared. I wonder what he had thought of, which made him so painful.

Lin Pingzhi closed his eyes and clenched his fists, but he could not calm down his mood. However, he still trembled and said the words that made him feel extremely humiliated and defeated the pride that had accompanied him since his birth.

He took a deep breath and said in a cold tone that he could not imagine: "The first sentence in the "Sword of Evil-Breaking Sword" is 'If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first'." After just saying this, he couldn't support it, leaned gently on the stone and closed his eyes.

Sha Tianjiang was even more surprised. He imagined that the legendary master was actually a... a castrator! A sense of absurdity suddenly arose in his heart. He thought that in the past few years, Zuo Leng's son had been the most attentive of what his brothers had done, and he looked only one step away from being successful. But now, the young man in front of him actually told such a shocking fact. If what he said was true, then the leader of the Zuo Alliance had only been able to get such a thing after all the hard work... This can really be regarded as a farce.

Sha Tianjiang was a little confused. He stumbled and said, "No... it's impossible, you lied to me..." When he said this, a certain idea seemed to flash in his heart. Although he was still shocked by what he had just heard, he couldn't help but say another idea, "You must... you must want to lie to me, and let the leader of the Zuo take this sword score, and he didn't dare to practice it."

Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly, not even feeling refuted, but said softly: "When the leader of the Zuo League takes this sword score, he can choose by himself... I heard that his ice true energy is unparalleled in the world, and perhaps he can use it when the desire is burning?"

Sha Tianjiang listened to his sarcasm and calmed down with his heart. After thinking about the causes and consequences, he finally understood it and said, "Are you afraid that the leader of the Zuo Alliance will get this sword score, and because you are afraid that you will leak this secret, you will kill you?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "This is inevitable. With his status and status, peerless martial arts may not be as good as his reputation in the world."

Sha Tianjiang nodded and said, "Yes, the leader of the Zuo Alliance cherishes his reputation the most, so he will never learn such martial arts." He looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "If you want to seek revenge on Yu Canghai, please beg your senior brother to do it. I hope he can beat Yu Canghai."

Lin Pingzhi said lightly: "I am on Mount Hua. I heard from Master Zuo that Master Zuo has been thinking about how to expand the gateway of Songshan Sect. It is said that the Demon Sect is the enemy that Master Zuo attaches most importance to. The Demon Sect leader Dongfang Bubai is known as the best martial arts in the world, and his reputation is far better than that of the former Director Ising. Even if the leader of the Left League has become more harmonious and unobstructed in Songshan Sect, he may not dare to say that he can beat Dongfang Bubai, right?"

Sha Tianjiang snorted and said, "I don't know what the leader of the Zuo is thinking. But even if he fought with Dongfang Bubai, he wouldn't know how many years later. At that time, his martial arts might be of another level compared to now..."

Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly and said, "But if he can't reach that level, he has to find ways to practice this evil-proof sword recipe that has endless disasters."

Sha Tianjiang's face turned a little dark, and he said dullly: "Zuo Alliance Leader is one of the people I respect the most. Don't slander him."

Lin Pingzhi sighed and said, "I have slandered him in any word... Senior Sha, you should know that perhaps the "Sword of Evil-Repelling" that should no longer exist in the heart of the Zuo Alliance Leader, is really an important thing. This is the magical skill that can make the Songshan Sect compete for dominance in the martial arts world... As for its evil sect, what does it have to do?"

Sha Tianjiang was silent for a long time, sighed and said, "You are right. Dongfang Bubai's martial arts and the magical uploaded by the Jianghu are Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple and Master Chongxu of Wudang Sect, who has never had such a great reputation. If the leader of the Left Alliance wants to fight against the Demon Sect, this Evil-Breaking Sword Score..." When he thought of this, he remembered the shocking words Lin Pingzhi said at the beginning of the Evil-Breaking Sword Score, and suddenly felt disgusted. He shook his head and said, "That's what will happen many years later. Who can tell the future clearly?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, the future is hard to say, but I don't care whether the leader of the Zuo League wants to practice this evil skill. Senior Sha, I have already explained it clearly. If you want this half sword score, you will meet my conditions and make a vow, and I will tell you to listen to this half sword score."

Sha Tianjiang sighed and said, "If this sword score is indeed as you said, it is extremely evil, and you will not see the leader of the Zuo Alliance in order to protect yourself, it is understandable. However, if the leader of the Zuo Alliance knows the evil nature of the sword score, he may not be willing to practice it."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "Senior Sha, if I think about it, I will definitely not go to see the leader of the Zuo."

Sha Tianjiang was silent for a moment, but did not answer him, but said, "If I got the sword guide and killed you, what can you do?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "If the Zuo Alliance Leader is as loyal as Senior Sha, I will be fine even if I meet him."

Sha Tianjiang said coldly: "How do you know that I didn't deliberately make a sensible appearance to deceive you."

Lin Pingzhi replied indifferently: "If you really lied to me, Lin Pingzhi would deserve to die if he was so confused. What's more, when you took the risk of robbing me, no one in the Huashan Sect noticed me. This time, no one can save me. If I don't give you the sword score, how can I have the life to leave?"

Sha Tianjiang stared at him tightly, suddenly laughed, and said sadly: "The vulture walked through the world for the rest of his life. Everyone knows that I am cruel and ruthless. Only you, a boy who is not as good as a martial arts, actually knows that I, Lao Sha, have the most important promise. Brother Bu is not too wronged to die in your affairs." He stood up and said loudly, "Okay, I will agree to you. You give me half of the sword score. I will definitely give him the sword score after the Zuo Alliance Leader killed Yu Canghai."
To be continued...
