Captain Lin woke up with a quick knock on the door, and the window curtains seemed to be knocked off, and he subconsciously jumped out of bed.

"Captain Lin, it's not good, it's not good!."

Before Captain Lin could walk to the door, a crying voice came from outside the door. Captain Lin thought to himself that it was not the demons who had come back, after what happened last night, now Captain Lin was full of demons in his mind. Now he just wants to find a chance to go head-to-head with the demons.

Captain Lin picked up his sword and walked to the door in three steps and two steps.

When he opened the door, Captain Lin saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy stomping his feet at the door. Captain Lin recognized it as the Heavenly Master's Dao Tong. Before Captain Lin could speak, the other party spoke first.

"Captain Lin, hurry up and see my master!" Dao Tong was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Captain Lin didn't have to think much about rushing out, and he didn't bother to close the door.

Captain Lin rushed to the door of the Heavenly Master's room with a brisk step, and when he entered the room, he saw a pool of black blood on the ground. Captain Lin was shocked, but he didn't know what to do.

"Hurry up and ask the doctor to come over in the city!" Captain Lin shouted at the soldiers at the door.

……

……

The two Taoist boys were crying in front of the bed, and Captain Lin was pacing back and forth helplessly in the room. At this time, there was a voice outside, and Captain Lin hurriedly greeted him.

Captain Lin went out and didn't see a person dressed as a doctor, but ran into an old man in his sixties head-on. The old man was dressed simply, his face was thin and long, and Captain Lin only felt a little familiar.

The thin-faced old man was followed by a man in the middle, and the man in the middle was dressed much more luxuriously. is not dressed in silk and satin, but it is also the dress of ordinary people. Captain Lin stood up and looked puzzled, and at this time, the old man with a thin face opened his mouth.

"May I ask Zhang Tianshi to live in this house." The thin-faced old man looked peaceful.

"Who are the two of you?" Captain Lin saw it, but he didn't know what he was trying to do, and he didn't answer the other party's question directly.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Taoist boy in the house caught a glimpse of someone coming and ran out.

"I've seen Uncle Shi! Uncle Shi, hurry up and take a look at my master! The Taoist boy stood at the door and saluted.

The old man with a peaceful face just now couldn't help but change his face when he saw the panicked Dao Tong.

"What's wrong with your master?" He asked as he strode into the room.

Captain Lin, who was standing at the door, scratched his head, as if he had reacted to the relationship, and then followed in.

The thin-faced old man came to the house, first touched the pulse of the old man on the bed, and then walked on the old man with his empty hands. Captain Lin next to him looked at the clouds, and those who didn't know probably thought he was doing some magic thing.

However, since he heard the title of Dao Tong just now, this old man should be the same disciple and brother of the Heavenly Master. Captain Lin doesn't have to worry about anything anymore, needless to say, this is also a heavenly master with strong spells.

After a while, the thin-faced old man withdrew his hand, and the expression on his face was quite relaxed.

"Your master is fine, but he needs some time to recuperate." The old man said with a look of pity.

"Then I will send someone to send some herbs to condense and replenish qi, and you two will boil it for your master."

"Yes, uncle." The two Dao boys replied at the same time.

"I have a Qi Replenishing Pill here, wait for your master to wake up and give it to him." The old man took out a small square box from his cuff and handed it to the two Taoist boys.

There is also a layer of Qingjuan wrapped around the small box, which should be the treasure of the thin-faced old man.

After the thin-faced old man finished explaining the matter, he turned around and walked towards Captain Lin. Seeing this, Captain Lin bowed first.

The little general took a step to speak. The old man arrived.

……

Captain Lin immediately made a gesture of invitation, the old man was in the front, the middle-aged man was in the back, and Captain Lin was at the end. When he went out, Captain Lin closed the door and ordered no one to go in and disturb him.

The thin-faced old man was going, and he took the middle-aged man and Captain Lin to a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. The backyard occupies a large area, and the pavilion is relatively simple. It should be that the inn is usually used for people to play games and drink and chat, with a round table and four stone benches in the pavilion.

Next to the stone table, there were two other teenagers who looked like thirteen or fourteen. Presumably it should be the Taoist boy of this thin-faced old man, the two Taoist children have already warmed the wine, and the stone bench is also covered with thick grass mounds.

"Little General, please." Several people walked to the pavilion.

"This is my Changlin County Shou, Xiao Taishou." After taking the seat, the old man introduced the visitor.

As soon as he sat down, Captain Lin, whose butt had just been attached to the grass mound, jumped up again.

"Lin Jian, the last general of Yubei County, has seen Xiao Taishou." Captain Lin's left hand is the palm, and his right hand is the double sound of the fist.

"Captain Lin is exempt. Ling Zun and I have known each other for a long time. The middle-aged man arrived.

"I don't know how Ling Zun is doing lately?"

"My father has been doing well lately."

Captain Lin had a brief greeting with the man in the middle, and the step-son put his hands on his legs and sat straight.

The thin-faced old man saw at a glance that Captain Lin was a little restrained, so he glanced at Dao Tong and motioned to pour wine.

"Come, drink wine to warm up, the little general doesn't have to be stubborn, it's all his own family." The old man smiled.

"Zhang Tianshi is my senior brother, and every year when I pass by here, I will warm up sake and have a few drinks with my senior brother." As the thin-faced old man spoke, the smile on his face gradually calmed down, and gradually turned into a few horizontal wrinkles on his brow.

"How do you think that now you are injured by the demons, but fortunately the children are fine! These bold demons, when you meet them again, you will make them look good! The thin-faced old man said with round eyes.

Captain Lin was startled by the thin-faced old man's vicious words, thinking that his face was full of kindness just now, and this ruthlessness was too fast.

"Heavenly Master is angry, although your senior brother is injured, this demon is definitely not much better." Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly comforted him.

Captain Lin on the side didn't dare to speak when he saw this, but just stared at the steaming wine glass in front of him.

……

"Little General, can you see clearly what kind of demon hurt my senior brother?" The thin-faced old man asked with a serious face.

"It was getting late at that time, and those demons were all wearing black cloaks, so I didn't see the specifics."

"But the leader of the demon hand wields a wide giant sword, and he is about ten feet tall." Captain Lin arrived.

"Have you seen the lines of the sword?" The thin-faced old man asked.

"The giant sword was split by the Heavenly Master, and only the hilt remained, and the lines were not clearly seen." Captain Lin arrived.

Hearing this, the thin-faced old man did not continue to ask, but stroked his white beard and did not speak again.

Seeing that the old man no longer spoke, Captain Lin breathed a sigh of relief and drank the wine in the cup that was still warm.

After drinking a glass of wine, Captain Lin secretly thought to himself whether to tell the old man in front of him all about the events of that night. After careful consideration, Captain Lin did not speak again.

First, the danger has passed, and there is no need for others to make another false alarm. Second, the people who came to the Cloud Palace already knew about these things, so there was no need to report it again.

……

At the end of the banquet, when the tall thin old man and the middle-aged man wanted to get up, Captain Lin opened his mouth.

"At dawn, I have sent someone to report this encounter to my county guard, but there is one thing that needs to be asked to the Heavenly Master and Xiao Taishou." Captain Lin stood up and clenched his fists.

"What does the little general need, but it doesn't hurt to say." The old man arrived.

"Now that the Heavenly Master is injured and needs to be recuperated, the students in my county are unattended on the way to school... Captain Lin stopped halfway through his words and then stopped.

"Captain Lin, rest assured, escorting students is the duty of our parents!" The middle-aged man and the thin-faced old man looked at each other and smiled, both of them should have guessed Captain Lin's thoughts.

"Senior brother's business is my business, and the children of your county can be handed over to the old decay to take care of!" The thin-faced old man smiled.

"Tomorrow, our county will hold a school sending ceremony, and the little general will take the students of your county to set off." The middle-aged man added.

Captain Lin immediately stood up and bowed deeply.

……

After a few more pleasantries, and after a few glasses of wine, they said goodbye and went back to their respective residences.

Captain Lin staggered back to the room happily like a bird that had just been released from the cage, judging the identity of the ordinary and stern captain.

Soon, the Celestial Master sent someone to bring the herbs. Dao Tong boiled the medicine as instructed, and Captain Lin lay on the bed, thinking that he would soon be able to leave for the prosperous Xuanyu City, so he looked happy.

……

……

It's noon, and the sun above you can clearly feel the heat.

The two carriages staggered into the county town of Changlin, and the coachman reminded them that their destination was near. The young man in the back seat straightened his arm and stretched a long lazy waist, provoking the old man and the middle-aged man in the car to laugh.

"Why are there so many guards today?" The coachman muttered to himself when he saw that there were twice as many guards at the gates.

Hearing the coachman's murmur, the middle-aged man opened the curtain and looked out. I did see that there were a lot more guards than usual, which was a little strange.

The boy stretched his waist and immediately opened the curtains, poked his head out, and looked out.

"Grandpa, grandpa, is this what you told me about the outside world?" The boy asked in surprise when he saw the lively scene on the street.

"That's not all, we're waiting here for the caravan outside." The old man touched the young man's head.

The boy leaned on the window, looking at the strange people and strange scenery on the street, and he was fascinated. The old man did not hear what he said.

The carriage moved slowly through the streets of Changlin County, and the streets were full of people, and the coachman had to hold on to the reins to prevent the horses from being frightened and hitting anything.

The slower you walk, the more you hear the chatter on the road.

"Have you heard that there are demons outside the city, and I don't dare to go out of the city recently."

"I've heard about it, just last night, and I heard that there was an attack on the school delivery convoy in the next county! iniquity has been created. ”

"I heard that the demon man was several feet high, and his feet shook the mountain when he stomped on the ground. This morning, my relatives in the countryside went into the city to tell me, and the people in their village heard it. ”

"I've also heard that this demon is very powerful, and the Heavenly Master of the next county has suffered a lot."

"Don't talk nonsense, the old master is fine, Dr. Liu just went to see it in the morning, and if you don't believe it, ask the guys in his shop."

There were a few vendors sitting at a tea stall on the side of the road, drinking tea and talking about what had happened outside the city last night. The stall owner seemed to be a little bored with listening to it, and shook his head from time to time.

"If you care about people, you might as well take a look, it's at the Changling Inn in the south." As soon as the stall owner's words came out, several tea customers put out the fire one after another and silently picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Speaking unintentionally, the listener pays attention.

When the middle-aged man in the carriage heard this, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive to the inn to the south. The coachman will also be aware of it, and he will raise his whip and ignore the crowd on the street.

In the bustling county town, a horse-drawn carriage galloped by, adding another noise to the already bustling street. It's just that in this noise, there are more voices of scolding.
