Chapter 474 The new appearance of Bianliang, the past of Nightingale
Entered Bianliang City.
It can be clearly felt that it is completely different from decades ago. The city has a completely new look, the flow of people and cars has significantly reduced, the street doorframes are wider, and the people look refreshed and refreshed.
The entire capital has experienced the baptism of war, and after the ruins were rebuilt, it exudes new vitality.
"After the chaos between good and evil, the three major sects mobilized their disciples and set up a city defense formation here again, so even if Patriarch Lu Que rushes over, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Fan told Lin Shan that it was very safe here.
If a suture monster like Patriarch Lu Que dares to come to a serious and crowded place like the Imperial Capital, he will definitely be intercepted by the monks stationed in the righteous sects.
"If you are fine, you can go around by yourself. I must return to Zixiao Sect as soon as possible to resume my life. Let's say goodbye."
"Well, you go and do your business, business is important."
Lin Shan nodded and told his good brother to have a safe journey. He was used to walking alone, so he didn't feel lonely at all, not to mention that he was accompanied by Brother Ji.
"I will check the two things you entrusted me with after you return to the clan."
"In addition, I heard you said that you want to find a way to cultivate the wind-type acquired spirit body. Then I think you will definitely need the wind escape technique!"
"I don't have the magical power of Wind Escape here, but you can still find the magic-level Wind Escape Technique for you in the Zixiao Sect. You also have to wait until I return to the sect to submit the application, and I will send it to you via a letter sent from thousands of miles away."
This is the benefit of having brothers behind you!
Lin Fan heard that Lin Shan had obtained clues about the acquired spirit body from Ancestor Honglian, so he used the sect in advance to give him the Luo Feng Escape Technique.
It's just that this kind of escape technique is extraordinary. It can't just be copied. It requires jade slips with the true meaning of charm to be effective, so he has to return to the sect to apply.
The Zixiao Sect is a top-level sect with many internal channels, so it is not surprising that it has the inheritance of wind escape.
Lin Shan was overjoyed, even if it was just a spell.
As long as he can learn it, he can use the strengthening panel to strengthen himself into small magical powers, or even real magical powers!
But
There is the Wind Escape Technique, and the Thunder Escape Technique.
"The Zixiao Sect naturally has the magical power of thunder escape, but this inheritance is relatively strict and difficult to pass on to others. Moreover, since you are of the wind bloodline, the probability of possessing an acquired thunder spirit body is low, so we will not consider this for now."
Lin Fan also had his own difficulties. After all, the larger the sect, the stricter the rules. 'The law will not be spread to outsiders' is what every disciple has sworn since childhood.
He relied on his status to fight for side spells like Wind Escape, so it was not a big problem for Lin Shan to open a small stove through the back door.
With the thunder escape magical power, this risk is not easy to take.
Lin Shan also knew that he couldn't embarrass Lin Fan. He didn't have a thunder spirit body anyway, so he couldn't learn it if he wanted it. He just had to master the wind escape technique first. There was no need to have such a big appetite.
"You do what you can, don't take too many risks. I have the Wind Escape Talisman that will be enough for the time being. You can do your thing first, I'm not in a hurry."
Although he had used up the Wind Escape Talisman, he usually reported good news to his relatives rather than bad news. Even if he wanted to get it quickly, he still told Lin Fan to take his time.
"Well, you must be careful when going to southern Xinjiang, especially the Black Lotus Sect. It's best not to have contact if you can. This cult is very deep."
"Got it."
After Lin Shan finished speaking, Brother Ji stood on his shoulder and said goodbye to Lin Fan.
"Oh oh oh, Lin Fan will see you later. Remember to come to us when you are free. Don't forget that you promised to grow the sect with me. The position of the Kun Sect's Great Protector has always been reserved for you!"
< br>
Lin Fan smiled and handed over to Brother Ji:
"Master, don't worry. Whenever my subordinates come down from the mountain, they will travel thousands of miles to follow me. Together with you, we will build the mighty world of our Kun sect!"
The three of them laughed and talked and parted.
Linshan strolled through Bianliang, passing arch bridges, boat boats, gardens, and long streets step by step, passing through the hustle and bustle, lingering in restaurants and teahouses, and experiencing the rare fireworks in this world.
Brother Chicken was lying on his shoulder, looking around curiously, as if he had never seen the world.
Most passers-by can't help but take a second look. After all, this combination is really rare to see.
A young man in white clothes sits with a chicken on his shoulder.
Really eye-catching.
But after all, Lin Shan was a real person from Jin Dan. He had developed a good face and magnanimity, and he could basically remain calm in the face of ordinary people.
In the center of the city, the Royal Palace stands on the planned meridian.
The railings are carved with jade, and the walls are decorated with dragon eaves and phoenix walls.
The imperial guards wearing gold and silver helmets on the city walls, holding long swords and braving the sun, patrolled meticulously and conscientiously.
A few decades ago, most of the Royal Guardsmen were young men from aristocratic families. They were flabby and vulnerable, and they were basically just scumbags.
After experiencing a catastrophe and being reborn, the new members were filled with elite border troops from all over the country, so they were much more energetic.
Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh, remembering that he had been brought in by Lei Yunzi and Lin Fan to visit, and later he personally led troops into the Ouchi Palace to snatch the black-faced Buddha statue.
Everything seems like yesterday, like a dream.
Instead of going in, he turned around and left.
It can be felt that there are not only large formations guarding it, but also Zhengdao Jindan Zhenren sitting in to maintain the stability of the mortal dynasty.
Arriving in the south of the city, I relied on my memory to find the original ‘Bowang Houfu’, which was the Nightingale headquarters.
Only then did I realize that the building had been changed and the name of the plaque had also been changed.
"The mansion of a general with five senses".
Lin Shan frowned and scanned it with his consciousness, and found that the general's mansion was sparsely populated, less than a hundred old, weak, women and children, and a few servants.
Turn around and leave to find the black market.
Just spend money to buy information and ask where the Nightingale headquarters is.
There are three religions and nine schools in the capital, and the news is easy to find out. It didn't take long to learn from a local gang.
Today, Nightingale's headquarters is located in the west of the city, in a palace.
Lin Shan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Nightingale to fall in love with a prince!
"Chenliu Prince's Mansion".
He turned to the west of the city. As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he heard the sound of cups and cups being changed inside.
It turned out that King Chenliu was holding a banquet in the garden.
He didn't force his way in directly, but paid a visit.
Soldiers stood guard on both sides of the door, guards of honor were placed inside and outside the door, and servants were responsible for receiving guests.
"Master, please present your invitation."
Lin Shan smiled slightly, mana surged from his hand, and a few threads popped out, crackling like firecrackers.
The servant was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.
"Immortal Master?"
Lin Shan nodded lightly, but in order not to cause trouble, he did not give the name of the Zixiao Sect. Forgive him that even a young man might not understand.
"If you are a poor person from the countryside and come to the capital to meet friends, please inform me."
The servant nodded quickly, found someone to take over at the door, and stumbled into the courtyard.
Not long after, an old man in gorgeous clothes walked out, followed by the boy from before. This old man looks thin, but still looks noble and elegant, with clear lines on his face and a steady and powerful gait.
"I am Zhao Wu, King of Chenliu. I didn't know that the immortal master was coming, so I missed my welcome from afar. Please forgive me!"
Lin Shan responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. Rural and vulgar people cannot be greeted with courtesy. I'm here just to visit friends."
King Chen Liu nodded and did not rush to ask who he wanted to see. Instead, he turned sideways and raised his hand as an invitation.
"Master Immortal, please come in quickly. There is no place for words in front of the door. We will talk in detail inside."
Lin Shan happily agreed and stepped across the threshold.
After he walked away, the soldiers and servants at the door dared to whisper, and the discussion was all about how young the immortal master looked.
The key is that there is a chicken lying on its shoulder!
This is really strange.
Of course, they were in the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty. After all, they were working for the palace, so they still had good eyesight. Naturally, they would not think that it was an ordinary chicken, maybe it was some kind of spiritual bird that the storytellers in the market talked about.
Passing through the nine-curved corridor, the palace occupies quite a large area. There are many literati in the garden watching the dance.
Lin Shan and King Chen Liu were chatting while walking on the road. When he took out his "Elder Nightingale Guest" token, King Chen Liu understood instantly.
"It turns out that the immortal master also belongs to Nightingale. This can be regarded as one of my own. Come with me."
He dismissed the servants with a wave of his hand and led Lin Shan directly to the backyard.
Turning on a certain mechanism on the rockery, there was only a "rumbling" sound, and the rockery automatically moved away, revealing a large hole with bluestone steps.
King Chenliu picked up his robe and walked down step by step, followed by Lin Shan. Brother Chicken was quite quiet, looking around with his head raised.
The underground passage is two people wide and one person high. There are oil lamps every five steps, and there are bluestone pavements under your feet. It is dark and quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.
About a mile or so, the front ends.
King Chen Liu tapped the mechanism on the wall again, revealing a downward hole again, and finally a noisy sound came from inside.
After entering, what comes into view is a broad and huge underground square, brightly lit, covering an area of about an acre, with two layers of guardrails dug around it, and cave dwellings on the upper and lower walls.
The field is also divided into several areas. Some areas are bustling with people in black coming and going, probably to receive tasks or to review settlements;
There was a tinkling sound in some places, as if people were forging iron, making common knives or hidden weapons;
In some places, there is constant shouting, and a group of black-clad teenagers are boxing in Zamabu, training since childhood;
There are also sheds erected in some places, which seem to be storage warehouses and the like.
This is the new headquarters of Nightingale, the killer organization!
King Chen Liu led Lin Shan around half a circle along the railing on the second floor and came to a cave opposite. He pulled up the door knocker and clicked twice.
"Please come in."
There was an old echo inside, and you could tell from the voice that he was quite old.
King Chen Liu pushed open the door and entered, followed by Lin Shan.
The space inside is spacious, with front and back halls, a coffee table, a bed screen, and an old man in his seventies sitting cross-legged on a futon.
"Great Elder, this immortal master in white wants to see you. I saw him holding the Nightingale Guest Elder's token, so I took it upon myself to bring him here."
King Chen Liu was more polite in his words and seemed to have a good relationship with the seventy-year-old man.
The old man on the futon has a shimmering look. According to King Chen Liu's introduction, he is undoubtedly the current Grand Elder of Nightingale, but his brows and eyes vaguely resemble the outline of an old friend.
Lin Shan was enlightened, he had already guessed the answer, and secretly sighed that things in the world are unpredictable.
The other party showed hesitation, unable to see through the cultivation level of the young man in white in front of him. The key was that he couldn't even see through the chicken on his shoulder!
Where did this master come from? It seems that I have never made friends with him before?
Nightingale guest elder?
Could it be from my grandfather’s generation
Lin Shan looked at him with a half-smile, and let him sit there and meditate without saying a word.
After a while, the seventy-year-old man vaguely remembered and called out with some uncertainty:
"But. Lin. Senior Lin?"
Lin Shan nodded with a smile and admitted his identity.
The person in front of him was the grandson of the former Supreme Elder Nightingale, the young man who asked him to buy the "Innate Vermillion Fruit" to break through the Qi training period before he went to Yichuanfang City.
Fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Supreme Elder Nightingale has passed away long ago, and his grandson is now over seventy years old. He has been in charge of Nightingale for many years.
Now that I see Lin Shan and discover that he has rejuvenated, I am deeply shocked and even more surprised!
Immortal cultivators, who doesn’t know what rejuvenation means?
"Senior Lin, it's really you! Come on, come on, please sit down!"
The current Grand Elder of Nightingale hurriedly stood up and brought over a futon. He put his hands on the coffee table and asked him to take a seat. He stood aside and did not dare to sit down again.
When King Chen Liu heard the word "senior", his pupils couldn't help but shrink and he clenched his hands.
Lin Shan was not polite and sat directly on it. Brother Ji glanced at it and opened his mouth to ask.
"Where's my seat?"
"!!!"
Great Elder Nightingale was shocked!
A chicken can actually talk?
King Chen Liu next to him was even more unbearable, almost thinking that this was some kind of monster!
Lin Shan comforted the two of them: "This is my spiritual pet. You should also arrange a seat for him."
Grand Elder Nightingale walked into the inner hall tremblingly, took out another futon and placed it next to Lin Shan. Brother Chicken jumped off his shoulders and sat on it with two chicken feet hidden under his belly.
King Chen Liu reacted at this time. Looking at the respectful posture of Elder Nightingale, he immediately understood that this must not be an ordinary immortal master. He served tea and water with a wink.
Lin Shan told them that there was no need to be restrained and that they could sit down if there was still a futon. The two of them said they didn't dare and just bowed and stood aside.
"When did the Supreme Elder Nightingale pass away after I left?"
Brother Ji interjected from the side: "He has tea, but I don't?"
King Chenliu was stunned and quickly poured tea for Brother Ji.
Lin Shan was a little helpless when he was interrupted, but he still looked at the current great elder.
The current Great Elder respectfully replied: "Since Senior Lin left fifty years ago, Grandpa passed away in Bianliang in less than a year."
"It's less than a year"
Lin Shan calculated with his fingers, it seemed that the Supreme Elder left earlier than he expected, and passed away before the three demon sects captured Bianliang City.
He felt emotional, and then asked about the subsequent changes in Nightingale's headquarters.
The current elder told him everything without hiding anything.
"Later I heard that the demonic army had landed in the East China Sea and had penetrated all the way through the eastern hinterland and headed towards the Luosong Mountains. To be on the safe side, I led the Nightingale headquarters to move ahead of schedule and leave Bianliang."
"It was also at that time that I met King Chenliu who was also in trouble and fled to Guanzhong."
"It wasn't until the Zhengdao Sect led the royal family to counterattack and regain this place and rebuild Bianliang City that King Chenliu came to Beijing according to the imperial edict and was rewarded with a mansion and a mansion. Then I led the old troops and moved back."
"In recent years, there have been continuous wars in the world of cultivation. Although natural and man-made disasters have continued, the impact on the mortal world has not been too great, and Nightingale has remained the same."
"Run a gray industry, work hard for your employer, and earn some hard-earned money"
