Chapter 138: Cutting with a Chive

The battle with Lin Du made her Tai Chi completely escape the scope of aerobics and become more profound.

After enlightenment, the inner force circulates, and there are traces of the true circulation of yin and yang in heaven and earth.

Although it is superficial, it has taken shape.

Jiang Liang looked at the aura flowing around Lin Du and smiled contentedly on his handsome face. He had grown a beard specially for this purpose, so the smile looked particularly subtle, so that outsiders could not tell any change.

Although he looked like a young man, he already had the demeanor of a hermit.

Lin Du withdrew his power, turned to look at Jiang Liang, and said curiously, "Senior Brother didn't hit me once today."

Every time I practice the whole set of movements, at least half of them will involve the dust whisk.

"What? Do you deserve a beating?" Jiang Liang glanced at her and raised his dust whisk, but he only brushed away the non-existent dust on Lin Du's shoulders.

Jiang Liang stroked his beard and coughed, "It's only a little better than aerobics. It's hard to hit you this late at night. I've seen that although your moves have already had internal flow, they are still far from being truly perfect. But you have only reached the first level. I will teach you to practice tomorrow. Now, you, hurry up and go to bed."

Lin Du snorted in frustration, "I was counting on you to point out what's wrong with me. Tomorrow, remember to summarize a shortcoming for me during the day, and I will practice in that direction."

"How dare you assign tasks to your senior brother?" Jiang Liang's eyes widened.

Lin Du ran away in a flash and slept for two hours when he returned.

After Wu Xi got the herb, he left overnight.

A few days later, the news spread to the outside world. Wu Xi visited the Supreme Sect two or three times, asking for the long-lost herb. The herb was for Lin, who was born with a deficiency, to survive the hundred-year mark. However, the man knelt for a whole day and finally gave him the last herb.

Feng Chao entered the forbidden peach forest that night, and finally came out with a cold face, and asked Lin Du not to go to the forbidden peach forest, otherwise it would be unsightly.

It is said that when Hou Cang came back, he was taken by Lin Tuan to a formation in the peach forest called "Fang Fei Jin", where peach petals were flying all the time. They looked beautiful, but were actually sharp weapons that could hurt people.

And now Cang is kneeling there, kneeling for an hour every day, for a total of nine years, but now it has only been one year.

Hou Cang's upper body was cut open by the petals of the peach forest, and it was torn, bloody and looked very ugly.

In short, it is not suitable for children to watch.

Because Lin Tuan had been watching the whole time, and Hou Cang had never left the forbidden area, it couldn't be him.

Lin Du thought about the scene and hissed, as if there was a similar scene in the original plot.

Back then, Cang evaded his responsibilities and left the sect, allowing Feng Chao to take over. This was considered a violation of the sect's rules and he deserved to be punished.

Feng Chao said, patting Lin Du's head again, "Anyway, let's leave this matter to us adults first. No matter what, it's not your turn to think about it."

Lin Du said nothing, just stood there and looked at her eagerly.

Feng Chao was helpless, "I have news for you!"

After hearing this, Lin Du took away the new calligraphy that Feng Chao had assigned to him.

There are no years in the mountains, and several years have passed in a flash.

Lin Du's calligraphy changed from neat regular script to semi-cursive script, and the characters he wrote also changed from neat and clumsy twisted blocks to small characters that began to show their style.

The lowest-level yellow-grade talisman book was a thick brick-sized volume. Lin Du spent five years and finally finished learning it.

Lin Du came to hand in her homework as usual that day. Her calligraphy homework had now been changed to copying the Heart Sutra. However, she noticed a rare hint of sadness between Feng Chao's brows.

"Senior Sister?" Lin Du walked to the incense burner with ease and refilled the burnt-out pure incense for her.

Feng Chao raised her eyes and looked at Lin Du. She was wearing a pale robe with a vivid eagle embroidered on her back and a silver belt around her waist. She looked like a green bamboo that had finally turned into a hard and straight bamboo after being blown high in the spring wind. It was covered with a layer of grayish-white shadow, which was discovered to be frost when touched.

"Lin Du... In the Zhongzhou competition three years later, Mo Lin's spirit bones are not suitable for participation. Tian Wu is a medical practitioner, so the important task will fall on you."

Lin Du laughed when he heard this, "Why? Senior Sister, you don't believe me? Am I unreliable?"

"Yan Qing is in seclusion to form the elixir, Yuan Ye and Jin Xuan are still a little bit behind, and you are now," Feng Chao paused, "you have also grown up."

It's not that I've grown up. I'm almost twenty years old, but I haven't grown any taller.

Lin Du was still comparing her height with Yuan Ye a few years ago, but now her growth has stopped and Yuan Ye is one inch taller than her.

"I remember that the competition in Zhongzhou is divided into team competition and individual competition. The team competition is the ranking of each sect. There are five people in this team competition, right?"

Before Feng Chao said the arrangement, Lin Du had already understood what Feng Chao meant, "There are five disciples under the age of 100. Tian Wu is a medical practitioner and will still be under 100 in three years. Tian Wu, Yan Qing and I are all in the Tengyun realm. Yuan Ye and Jin Xuan will also be in the Qinxin realm by then. Yuan Ye is smart and Jin Xuan is lucky."

She grinned, "The five of us are invincible."

The Zhongzhou Competition is held every hundred years. The Supreme Sect did not participate last time. It is said that they have not yet recruited new disciples.

The new leeks haven't grown out yet, but Zhongzhou has already started. According to the speed at which the Supreme Sect grows leeks, it is definitely not enough.

The participants this year were all still young, so the masters didn’t have high expectations for them. They just viewed it as an experience. If they were lucky, it would be even better if they could bring back rewards.

After all, what really determines the ranking of a sect is the competition among cultivators over a hundred years old.

And the Supreme Sect has never lost once.

A strong youth means a strong country, but the Supreme Sect has grown into a majestic tree. No matter how violent the youths are, there is always a canopy to protect them from the wind and rain.

Feng Chao was so intimidated by her shameless self-confidence that the worry on his face disappeared, and he couldn't help but laugh, "What invincible or not invincible?"

Lin Du couldn't stop his hands. After putting the things in their places, he also put the things on Feng Chao's desk in order. Who knew that he saw a red sect disciple order on the table that had not been issued yet.

Red represents a wanted order.

But given Feng Chaolei's sharp and vigorous personality, he would usually publish his work immediately after finishing it.

She raised her eyes and met Feng Chao's beautiful eyebrows which were about to wrinkle again.

"Sister, what kind of person is it that makes you reluctant to kill him? Or is he too difficult to deal with?"

Feng Chao sighed helplessly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Even at this moment, she did not forget to test Lin Du, "Come on, tell me, what is Article 49 of the Sect's Rules?"

Lin Du did not answer immediately. She looked at Feng Chao steadily, rubbed the thin rope on her middle finger with her right hand, and then slowly spoke, "Article 49 of the Supreme Sect's rules states that if anyone deviates from the sect's teachings, violates the right path, and harms fellow disciples, we, as disciples, shall personally clean up the sect."

Feng Chao lowered his eyes, hummed softly, and then continued, "Lin Du, the reason I'm worried is because Mo Lin is not here. I'm afraid that something unusual will happen when you go to the Zhongzhou Competition."

"Mo Lin must be over a hundred years old now," Lin Du said bluntly.

Feng Chao tilted his head and thought for a moment, "What? That kid is already over a hundred?"

Lin Du crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Feng Chao looked at the person in front of him in amazement, "You've grown up so fast, little cub. When I brought him back to our sect, he was still drinking milk."

Lin Du was silent for a while, then raised his eyes and met Feng Chao's gaze. "The reason why Senior Sister is worried about something happening is because that traitor is targeting us, right?"

"Mo Lin's spirit bones, my premature aging herb, and maybe even Tian Wu's strange fire in the future."

"So, who is it?"

Feng Chao felt a little regretful. It was not good for the junior sister to be too smart. If she leaked just a little information, Lin Du would be able to extract information from her and analyze the truth that was very close to her.

"This man was your eighth senior brother, Wenfu. We all thought he was dead, but maybe he is not dead."

Lin Du looked into Feng Chao's eyes. Those eyes, which usually contained light, were now filled with suppressed sorrow.

It's not anger, it's not rage, it's not entanglement, it's sadness.

"We made a deal with Fu Si Fang." Feng Chao paused. "Fu Si Fang will protect the privacy of its customers on the surface, but in reality it will record every trace left by each person. This was something that Master Lin Tuan once told me."

"Although he looked very different, I could still recognize him. It was definitely him."

The phoenix's eyes blinked lightly, as fast as the thin wings of a dragonfly skimming over the lake in summer.

Lin Du's voice sounded exceptionally calmly, "Maybe it's not him anymore."

"Six hundred years ago, Eighth Senior Brother was one of the first people to go to the Lanju Realm. In recent years, the major sects have been constantly investigating. Five years ago, the Feixing Sect caught more than thirty ghosts, and now there are still eighty-nine who are still missing."

She no longer used human quantifiers to describe the ghosts.

"No, it's him." Feng Chao smiled bitterly, "I won't make a mistake."

"I am the eldest senior sister. I will not mistake my child."

"His name is Wenfu, which means blessing. He said he is the eighth child and will definitely lead the sect to prosperity in the future."

Lin Du stood there and cleared his throat, "Senior Sister, you can't remember how old Mo Lin is just now."

Feng Chao: ...

She held back her sadness and pointed outside the door, "Have you finished inspecting the farm tools and the clan and Dingjiu City formations for this winter? Once you've finished, go and draw the beast-repelling talismans that I'll distribute to the villagers for free."

Lin Du was extremely grief-stricken and said in a long tone, "I know..."

How can you just pick on her like a leek?

No, we have to bring my fellow apprentices along.
