Lin Yixi sensed someone coming in and immediately picked up the dagger he had hidden on the bed. Just as the person's hand touched him, Lin Yixi cut him. Drip drip. It was the sound of blood dripping on the ground.
" Brat, how dare you hit your father," the man in black yelled and knocked Lin Yixi out with one palm. If he hadn't dodged fast enough, Lin Yixi would've ripped his hand off.
"You brat, can't you be gentler? "When this matter is over, I'll settle the score," said another black-robed man. However, this voice was older.
" No way, my hand was almost chopped off by him. I can't even hit him. This is too unfair," the young man in black complained.
" What did you say? Do you believe that I'll slap you right now?" The older man in black said as he was about to attack.
" I was wrong. Let's go quickly. We're in a hurry." The young man in black immediately gave in, but he said in his heart,""I'm a wise man who doesn't know when to lose."
" Let's go. You almost ruined the plan," the older man in black said and ran in front.
They carried Lin Yixi and ran to the back of the mountain. The older man in black suddenly stopped and turned around."Come out, I know you've followed me. Are you still not coming out? " Don't tell me I have to treat you?" He continued to shout a few more times. After seeing that no one was around, he jumped off the cliff.
After a while, the older man in black came up from the cliff. Just as he came up, a large rock suddenly moved, and a path that was about enough for two or three people appeared. The path went down, and they didn't know where it went. When they saw the path, they immediately ran down.
After running for about an hour, three grass huts, three bamboo huts, and three stone huts appeared in front of them. The nine huts formed a strange shape that was neither square nor round.
The two of them walked inside. They took one step to the north, two steps to the southwest, three steps to the east, four steps to the southeast, five steps to the middle, six steps to the northwest, seven steps to the west, eight steps to the northeast, and nine steps to the south…
Lin Yixi was shocked. He didn't faint from the start, and he let the two men in black take him because he knew who they were. The two men in black were his father, Lin Haoran, and grandfather, Lin Batian.
Lin Yixi's eyes were closed until they arrived. He opened his eyes when he realized that they were walking strangely. He realized that he was in the Nine Palace Formation.
Ling 'er gave Lin Yixi the basic knowledge of cultivation, forging, alchemy, formations, and other techniques. Although Lin Yixi couldn't cultivate and couldn't refine pills and weapons, Lin Xuan had already figured out everything Ling 'er gave him. Lin Yixi could tell that it was the Nine Palaces Formation.
What made Lin Yixi curious was that Lin Haoran and Lin Batian knew how to get out of the Nine Palace Formation. They took one step north, two steps southwest, three steps east, four steps southeast, five steps in the middle, six steps northwest, seven steps west, eight steps northeast, and nine steps south. The nine palaces that corresponded to the Nine Palaces Formation were Yigong Kan (north), Ergong Kun (southwest), Sangong Zhen (east), Sigong Xun (southeast), Wugong (sent to Kun), Liugong Qian (northwest), Qigong Dui (west), Bagong Gen (northeast), Jiugong Li (south)…
What Lin Yixi didn't understand the most was why there was a Chinese Nine Palace Formation here. He couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He really wanted to jump down and ask, but he held back in the end. Lin Yixi knew that this place was designed by a master. If he was not careful, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this moment, Lin Haoran and Lin Batian had already walked to four forks. Lin Batian walked to the biggest tree at each of the four forks and dug for a while before finding a pitch-black stone. Lin Batian moved the stone away, and a groove appeared inside. circle, square, triangle, pentagram.
Four pieces of jade appeared out of thin air. The shapes of the jade were round, square, triangular, and pentagram. After Lin Batian placed the jade stones in the corresponding positions, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the ground.
Lin Haoran and Lin Batian jumped in without hesitation after seeing the hole. Lin Yi was getting more and more shocked because it had been more than ten minutes since they jumped in, but they still hadn't reached the bottom. It was like a bottomless pit.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the bottom, and they were actually fine after jumping from such a high height. Lin Yixi realized that he didn't fall to his death. He opened his eyes and looked around. He found that there was a large floating formation on the ground.
Lin Yixi was getting more and more curious."Who is the one who planned this so meticulously? What is their motive? What does it have to do with the Lin family? Seeing how cautious his grandfather and father were, there must be a big secret hidden here. Whatever, the answer should be revealed soon.”
Sure enough, Lin Haoran put Lin Yixi down not long after and gently pushed Lin Yixi, wanting to wake her up, but Lin Yixi didn't have any reaction.
" It's all your fault," Lin Batian kicked Lin Haoran away and shouted at Lin Yixi,""Xi 'er, Xi' er..."
" Grandpa, where am I? Also, why does my neck hurt so much?" Lin Yixi hit his neck a few times, pretending that he didn't know anything.
" Xi 'er, it's alright, it's alright. Your father and I brought you here," Lin Batian said.
"Grandpa, why didn't you just tell me? Why did you knock me out? "What is this place? Why haven't I seen it before?" Lin Yixi asked curiously.
Lin Batian suddenly stopped smiling and put on a respectful expression. He said seriously,"This is the holy land of our Lin family."
" Holy... land," Lin Yixi deliberately dragged out the word 'holy land'.
" Brat, you're not allowed to be cheeky here," Lin Haoran could not help but curse.
" Shut up, you don't have the right to speak here," Lin Batian scolded Lin Haoran, then smiled at Lin Yixi,""Xi 'er, this is one of the top secrets of our Lin family. Only the family head and the future family head can know about it.”
" Okay, ah, no, grandpa, I don't want to hear it, please send me back," Lin Yixi had just said yes, but he realized that it wasn't right."What a joke. I don't want to be the future family head.”
" No, you have to listen even if you don't want to," Lin Batian knew that Lin Yixi didn't want to be the head of the family."Even if you don't want to be, you have to be. Do you think you can escape?”After saying that, he revealed a smug expression.
" Grandpa, I really don't want to hear it," Lin Yixi said innocently.
" Alright then, I'll give you two choices. You choose one," Lin Batian smiled kindly.
" I don't want to choose either," Lin Yixi saw a hint of conspiracy in Lin Batian's eyes, so Lin Yixi rejected him decisively.
" I haven't even said anything yet and you're already rejecting me. Are you looking down on the elderly? Or do you not even have me as your grandfather in your eyes?" Lin Batian said angrily.
" How could I? I was wrong. Grandpa, tell me, tell me," Lin Yixi could tell that Lin Batian was pretending, but Lin Yixi didn't expose him.
Lin Batian stroked his beard and continued,""First, listen to me tell you all the secrets of the Lin family before I pass the position of family head to you. Second, I'll pass the position of the family head to you directly. Choose one!"
"Is there a choice?" Lin Yixi said with disdain.
" Brat, what kind of attitude is this?" Lin Haoran interrupted Lin Batian before he could speak.
"Father, don't you object?”Lin Yixi said to Lin Haoran. He was also puzzled as to why Lin Haoran didn't want the position of family head.
"No objection? What objection? Besides, is the objection valid?”Lin Haoran said, but he only thought in his heart: "Even if I become the head of the family, won't I have to pass it on to you in the future? Moreover, being the head of the family is too tiring, so I might as well just let you be the head.”
" Father, don't you think about it? Grandpa didn't give you the position of the family head because he looked down on you. You're his son, and in the end, you didn't get anything. Even if you don't feel disappointed, I feel disappointed for you," Lin Yixi said on Lin Haoran's behalf.?
" You brat, don't sow discord here," Lin Haoran scolded.
" Father, I'm a man. I dare to say it, but I don't dare to do it." Lin Yixi shook his head.
" When did I say that?" Lin Haoran said loudly. He was confused by Lin Yixi's words.
"Didn't you just say that your objection was invalid? It proves that you want to be one!" Lin Yixi said as he grabbed Lin Haoran's sore spot.
" Brat, you're still being reasonable. Do you believe that I'll slap you?" Lin Haoran scolded.
" If you can't win, then you have to hit me. Besides, I'm in the right anyway," Lin Yixi refused to admit defeat.
"Alright, stop arguing. Xi 'er, have you decided? If you can't decide, I'll help you choose!”Lin Batian said firmly.
Looking at Lin Batian's expression, Lin Yixi knew that he had no choice but to say," Grandpa, I can promise you, but only when I'm 25 years old," Lin Yixi said.
" Okay," Lin Batian knew that he couldn't force Lin Yixi anymore. As long as Lin Yixi agreed, his goal would be achieved. Ten years was just a blink of an eye for Lin Batian. Moreover, it was still unknown whether Lin Yixi could live past the year of her coronation.
" Let me tell you the secrets of the Lin Family. This place was built by our ancestor, Lin Xiaotian," Lin Batian said proudly.
"What? These formations were also set up by the ancestors?”Lin Yixi exclaimed. Why were there so many Chinese formations here? Was Lin Xiaotian Chinese?
" Xi 'er, how do you know that it's called a formation?" Lin Batian asked curiously. He didn't know it back then, but Lin Yixi did.
" Grandpa, please answer me first," Lin Yixi asked anxiously. He didn't dare to keep secrets now. He just wanted to know Lin Xiaotian's situation.
" To be precise, this place was built by the ancestor and a person called Chu Qingcang. These things called formations were set up by Senior Chu Qingcang," Lin Batian looked at Lin Yixi and held back his curiosity. Lin Yixi wondered if Chu Qingcang was from Huaxia.
" Back then, when our ancestor Lin Xiaotian and Long Ao conquered the world, our ancestor gave the throne to Long Ao and went to pursue the peak of martial arts by himself. He challenged people everywhere. Three years later, our ancestor was known as the 'number one person' in the Heavenly Scar Continent. At that time, no one could take three moves from our ancestor without losing. Moreover, our ancestor never used his full strength," Lin Batian puffed out his chest and said.
"Our ancestor never believed that he had reached the peak of martial arts, so he wandered around to find if there was a possibility of a breakthrough, but he couldn't. "Later on, by chance, the ancestor met Senior Chu Qingcang. The two of them started a competition. The ancestor could not even take ten moves from Senior Chu Qingcang," Lin Batian said helplessly.
Lin Yixi wasn't surprised that Chu Qingcang could defeat Lin Xiaotian in ten moves. Although Lin Yixi wasn't sure how strong Lin Xiaotian was, there were many people stronger than Lin Xiaotian.
"Later on, the ancestor and Senior Chu Qingcang became good friends. Chu Qingcang also helped the ancestor break through and broke through the void with the ancestor. "Before he left, the ancestors left behind many cultivation methods, training bases, and mysterious powers to protect the Lin family." Lin Batian became more and more depressed as he spoke, and Lin Yixi didn't show any surprise at all.
" Xi 'er, this is the most mysterious training base of our Lin family. That's the entrance to the training base. As long as you can pass through the base, you can have countless cultivation techniques. Xi' er, go in now," Lin Batian pointed ahead.
Looking at the direction that Lin Batian was pointing at, Lin Haoran immediately shouted,""Father, you…"
" Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lin Haoran was interrupted by Lin Batian.
"Xi 'er, go over. Grandpa believes in you!”Lin Batian said with certainty. Lin Yixi walked in without hesitation.
After Lin Yixi went in, Lin Haoran said to Lin Batian,"Father, it's very dangerous inside. If you let Xi 'er in, what if..."
Lin Batian waved his hand and said,"Let's see."”
" Ah..." Lin Yixi suddenly shouted.
