Chapter 11 On the Boat

Lin Pingzhi came to Fujian this time to bury his parents, and at the same time he also obtained the sword technique he passed down from his ancestors. Unexpectedly, such a big change happened. Lin Pingzhi was depressed on his way back to Huashan, and followed Tang Jinlou and Su Yanyue alone. He was even more silent than when he first entered Huashan. The sentence at the beginning of the "Sword Stories of Evils" made him still frightened.

The river was flowing, and Tang Jinlou and three others paid for a small boat to take a waterway to Hubei. After arriving in Hubei, they changed to land to Shaanxi and return to Huashan.

Tang Jinlou and Su Yanyue sat in the cabin of the boat drinking tea and chatting about homework. The boatman was at the stern, while Lin Pingzhi sat at the bow of the boat and stared at the leisurely river water in a daze. In the past few days, he was deliberately or unintentionally avoiding Tang Jinlou and Su Yanyue.

Su Yanyue looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Cousin, Junior Brother Lin seems to have changed a lot after this big change."

Tang Jinlou said: "It may not be true that he has changed a lot, he is just a little confused."

Su Yanyue said: "The Lin family used to create such a big family business with the Evil-Breaking Sword Sketch. His grandfather's name was unparalleled. When it came to his father, he did not get the real Sketch Sketch, and his family fell into ruin. Junior Brother Lin went through hardships and finally found the real Evil-Breaking Sketch Sketch. Unexpectedly, half of it was taken away. He was depressed and impulsive, destroying his other half of the Sketch Sketch. Now he may regret it."

Tang Jinlou smiled slightly and thought to himself: "Even if Lin Pingzhi was stimulated again, he had not lost his mind. Later, when he was reciting the sword score, he did not say the most critical point. My cousin did not hear that, so naturally he didn't know how disappointed and unbelievable Lin Pingzhi was. His most respected grandfather suddenly became a stranger, and his most trusted divine sword technique suddenly became an evil sword technique that only eunuchs could practice. Not anyone could bear this kind of blow."

Tang Jinlou thought flashed through his mind and replied, "Maybe."

Su Yanyue said: "Junior Brother Lin destroyed his evil-proof sword score, and he could only work hard to practice Huashan swordsmanship. Alas, this is good. Huashan swordsmanship is profound and profound, and it is many times higher than Qingcheng swordsmanship."

Tang Jinlou smiled and said, "There is no highest martial arts in this world. There is only the most powerful person. As long as Junior Brother Lin is willing to learn, I will naturally teach the Huashan School the essence of swordsmanship. But if he is not capable enough and cannot learn the skillful swordsmanship, that is also his own reason, no wonder others."

Lin Pingzhi has ordinary qualifications, and when learning swordsmanship, he has to rely on thinking and practicing more. In the past few months, he practiced more than others every day. This made Tang Jinlou feel that even if his qualifications are average, he is not without hope. But if such a big thing happened in Fujian, he really doesn't know what Lin Pingzhi's current mentality is. If he never recovers from now on, then even if Tang Jinlou is willing to teach him, he will not be able to learn anything.

Su Yanyue nodded and suddenly laughed, "Cousin, how do you think of my swordsmanship?" Su Yanyue's swordsmanship is already the best among the second-generation disciples of Huashan, but she is still a little short of the realm of a true master.

Tang Jinlou smiled and said, "Your swordsmanship, well, with your current level, if you can persevere, maybe ten years later, the name of "Huashan Su Female Hero" will be heard in the world." Tang Jinlou knew that Su Yanyue respected the most was his master's wife Ning Zhongze, so he also found Ning Zhongze's name to give her the name of a hero. Su Yanyue smiled happily and said, "Cousin, I know you must have lied to me."

Tang Jinlou shook his head and said seriously: "Persistence is easy to say, but difficult to do. What I said is serious." He patted Su Yanyue on the shoulder and said again: "I'll go see Junior Brother Lin."

Su Yanyue nodded, Tang Jinlou stood up and left the cabin.

When I walked out of the cabin, I saw the clear water rippling, the green mountains and green trees on both sides, and the breeze on the river surface, making people immerse themselves in this beautiful scenery.

"Junior Brother Lin." Tang Jinlou sat down next to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi whispered: "Senior Brother Seven." Then he stopped talking.

Tang Jinlu said, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Nothing?" Seeing Tang Jinlou's eyes, he finally sighed and said: "It's really nothing, it's just a little sad that the family-born sword technique was destroyed like this. From now on, I will definitely work hard to practice Huashan sword technique. Brother Qi, don't worry."

Tang Jinlou nodded and said, "It's good." Tang Jinlou looked at Lin Pingzhi, and saw him looking down at the water patterns that were rowing when the boat passed by, as if he was thinking nothing. Tang Jinlou smiled slightly and suddenly said, "That night, why didn't you ask us about the old house in Xiangyang Lane?"

Lin Pingzhi's expression changed slightly and he said, "Senior Brother Seven must have done it on purpose."

Tang Jinlou shook his head and said, "You are wrong, we just followed you on purpose."

Seeing the change of Lin Pingzhi's face, Tang Jinlou stood up and whispered to him, "You obviously guessed that we were following you, why didn't you say it?"

Lin Pingzhi opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say something, but finally he couldn't say it.

Tang Jinlou continued, "You are still not careful enough. Do you think that the only ones who are interested in the sword book of your Lin family in the world are Qingcheng Sect and others?" Tang Jinlou turned around and stared at him and said, "You are just thinking about guarding against someone in the Huashan Sect's sword book. Instead, you ignore other people."

Lin Pingzhi's face turned pale.

Tang Jinlou said: "You couldn't sleep at night on Huashan. When you asked your master to go back to Fujian to bury your parents' ashes, your master had already expected that you would come to find your sword score. You are worried that someone in Huashan Sect would covet your evil-proof sword score, but what Master was worried about is your safety..."

Tang Jinlou snorted, stared at Lin Pingzhi and said, "You have mediocre qualifications and mediocre martial arts. Do you know why Master is worried about your safety?"

Lin Pingzhi looked at Tang Jinlou, and after a while, he said tremblingly: "It's because I am Lin Pingzhi, Lin Zhennan's son, and Lin Yuantu's grandson. When I die, everyone will suspect that it's because of my greed for the sword score of my family and secretly killed me..."

"No," Tang Jinlou raised his eyebrows and said, "You are not stupid. Although you think you are secretive in Fuzhou, you are actually extremely childish. You can easily find out about your return to your hometown to bury your parents. Judging from Cheng Buyou's actions, they have been prepared in Fuzhou long ago and are waiting for you to take the bait. If your sword guide is taken away and you die in Fujian, the most suspicious person is me, my senior brother. If I can still stay in Huashan, then the master will be suspected to be the culprit who instructed me to kill you... How about it, although it is a shadowless thing, but if you are really killed, look, can I tell it clearly?"

Lin Pingzhi lowered his head and whispered for a while: "Yes, I understand."

Tang Jinlou had no intention of stopping and continued, "Even if you were not dead, if your sword score was stolen, if you did not see the person's appearance, think about it, who would you doubt the first thing you would have doubted?"

Tang Jinlou said without waiting for him to speak, "It's me."

"My martial arts are better than you, and I know every move you take. I live next to you. If you pay attention at all times, you can't escape my tracking. The most important thing is that if your sword score is lost, no matter how sufficient my reason is, as long as I am not by your side, you will not believe me anyway."

Lin Pingzhi remained silent, and the veins in his left hand that was holding the sword were exposed, his face pale.

Tang Jinlou said, "So you come to the old house in Xiangyang Lane. We will follow you..." Tang Jinlou suddenly sighed and said, "This matter has an unusual meaning to you and us. The status of the Evil-Breaking Sword Score in the world is extraordinary, so you hope to obtain it alone and not let others know. But you have never thought that you are also a disciple of Huashan now. Any accidents you have in the old house will eventually affect the reputation of the Huashan Sect..."

Tang Jinlou shook his head and said, "It's useless to say this now. Since the sword score has been destroyed, there will be no more worries in the future. Junior Brother Lin, you must be more dedicated and practice the sword skills of my Huashan School. One day in the future, you will be able to avenge your parents." After that, he turned around and left the bow of the boat.

Lin Pingzhi finally raised his head and looked at Tang Jinlou's back, wondering what he was thinking.

When they arrived in Wuhan, Tang Jinlou and the other two got off the boat and took the land route. After riding for more than ten days, they arrived at Huayin Mansion. Huashan was right in front of them. Tang Jinlou left Huashan and went to Fujian for only more than a month. At this time, he felt like he was home.

The three of them rushed forward. When they arrived at Nanzhuang Town, it was already dark. Tang Jin said, "We can't go up the mountain today. Let's find an inn to stay in first and go up the mountain tomorrow morning."

The largest "Nanlai Inn" in Nanzhuang Town has a certain connection with the Huashan School and wants to be a good relationship. Tang Jinlou and the other three came to the inn. The waiter had already recognized the three and came up with diligently. Tang Jinlou waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about us, take the horse into the horse shed."

The waiter responded with "Okay" and led the three horses away. Tang Jinlou and the three of them walked into the inn. At this time, there were no more people in the inn. The three of them looked around and saw a person sitting in the corner, and they were shocked.

Tang Jinlou greeted him, stood not far away in front of the man, bowed, and said happily: "Master Mo, why are you here?" Su Yanyue and Lin Pingzhi also bowed quickly and said in unison: "Master Mo." The man was as thin as a hair, with his shoulders bulging, looking weak. It was Mr. Mo Da, the head of Hengshan. Mr. Mo Da glanced at Tang Jinlou and said with a smile: "Can't I come to Huashan?"

Tang Jinlou hurriedly said, "How could it be? Master Mo came to Huashan, and the Huashan Sects would be the bed to greet him." Mr. Mo narrowed his eyes, smiled twice, pointed to the table and said, "Sit down, what kind of morality do you do like this? I did not promote it in the world in advance. Don't be too reserved."

The three of them responded and sat down in front of Mr. Mo's desk.

After dinner, the waiter led the four people to the second floor room. Lin Pingzhi walked in front, Tang Jinlou was a little slower, and walked behind the three of them and walked with Mr. Mo Da.

Tang Jinlou had never met Mr. Mo Da several times, but he always felt that Mr. Mo Da was very kind to him and was very kind. Outside Hengshan City, if Mr. Mo Da hadn't killed Lu Bai, Tang Jinlou would have been on the list of people that the Songshan Sect had to get rid of. Although he did not say it clearly, he had said that day that he had seen him let Lu Bai go, and Yue Buqun said that killing Lu Bai was using Hengshan's unique skills. Tang Jinlou had already thought that it was Mr. Mo Da's doing this.

Tang Jinlou whispered: "For what happened outside Hengshan City, I thank you, Master Mo."

Mr. Mo Da said in a daze: "What's going on outside Hengshan City?"

Tang Jinlou was puzzled and said, "Outside Hengshan City, Lu Bai..."

Mr. Mo nodded and suddenly realized, "Oh, Lu Bai... Lu Bai is dead."

Mr. Mo Da said that the donkey lips were wrong, and Tang Jinlou was even more confused and said, "Lu Bai... how did he die?"

Mr. Mo Da suddenly smiled and said, "The people of the Songshan Sect are all arrogant. It must be that some hero in the world can't stand him and kill him."

This sentence was said lightly, as if it was a fact for granted. However, Tang Jinlou glanced at his face with a smile on his face, and was shocked. He understood and replied: "That's right, but I don't know who made the move."

Mr. Mo Da suddenly smiled and said, "If you do evil things, you will die. What does it matter if you move your hands?"

Tang Jin's corridor said: "That's true."

Before he finished speaking, a waiter's loud voice came from outside the inn gate: "Please, please come from the four guests!"
