As the only force in Xinghai Town, the treatment of the children of the Lin family makes outsiders salivate. However, people within the Lin family also know that the resources consumed in cultivating immortals are endless. Therefore, no matter what outsiders think, the Lin family considers itself a kind of

There are too many monks and too few people, so in order to provide more resources to those with the most talent while ensuring that everyone has a share, the Lin family has also established a strict hierarchy.

The disciples of the Lin family are divided into the inner sect and the outer sect. Anyone who does not have spiritual roots above the Xuan level must start as a disciple of the outer sect. The disciples are ranked by strength through competition. The ranking is related to the monthly salary. For example, Seventeenth Aunt

These numbers for Uncle Fifteen are not the ranking of their ages, but the ranking of their strength in the outer sect.

If the disciples of the outer sect can maintain the top three rankings for three consecutive months, they can enter the inner sect. Compared with the outer sect disciples, the monthly salary of the inner sect disciples is more generous, and they no longer have to work as part-time workers in the family. It can be said that they are truly recruited.

Among the people the family cares about, Lin Yan, Lin Yan, Lin Kai, and Lin Zhuang are the inner disciples of the Lin family.

But even the disciples of the inner sect have corresponding rankings, and the top five among them are called core disciples, and they receive resources that others cannot even imagine.

If these core disciples can achieve excellent results in the county competition, they will be recruited by the Lin family in the county, and the Lin family in the county will also give the Lin family in Xinghai Town a large amount of resources as rewards and compensation.

This sequentially ascending hierarchy has also become the driving force for the Lin family to continuously improve, and even provided many unique talents for the Great China Dynasty.

It’s just that the proud ones are in the minority after all, and most people reach their limit when they reach the first two steps.

The four brothers Lin Jiang, Lin He, Lin Hu, and Lin Hai once stood out among the inner disciples. Lin Jiang, who once ranked sixth, was only one step away from the core disciples. But one step away was like a chasm, and the four brothers

They also tried several times to build the foundation, but due to limited resources, they all failed without exception. In the end, because of their age, they changed from inner disciples to inner elders.

Although the treatment of the elders is slightly better than that of the inner disciples, they know that they have been abandoned by the family. If they want to maintain the current treatment, they have to spend more time on family affairs and spend more money on family affairs.

They have more time for trivial matters and less time for improving themselves, which makes them feel negative.

In fact, they don't have much to do. Huxiao Mountain is close to the Nanshan Villa of the Lin family. Children often go into the mountain to practice. The responsibility of the four Lin Jiang brothers is to maintain the order of Huxiao Mountain and to maintain the order of the family, especially the children of the family.

The inner disciples will be rescued as soon as possible when they are in danger.

Having said that, since the intelligence of the Qi-training monsters is far inferior to that of human monks, and due to the human instinct to fear death, there are not many situations where rescue is needed. The four brothers have been living a relatively leisurely and comfortable life.

However, their luck seems to be bad recently. First, the Tianji Guard who stayed there went crazy, and then Lin Yao and others disappeared. Fortunately, they did not have a great relationship with him, so the clan leader only fined Xu Yue's salary symbolically.

, but now they had to become nervous when they saw the call for help from the inner disciples. After all, this was his duty to stay here.

"These proud men of heaven don't stay at home honestly, so they like to run to the mountains? That's all for going up the mountains. They don't know what it means to be safe. If someone dies, why don't they make me miserable?" Lin Jiang cursed secretly,

Having said that, he did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly led the people in the direction of the signal.

After driving for more than ten miles on the mountain road, they finally arrived outside the cave, but they were stopped by the mountain of soul-eating insects. Fortunately, there were no wounds on their bodies, and Ben made corresponding preparations and sprayed ahead.

After applying some special medicinal powder, the soul-eating insects will slowly disperse.

Just as they were blasting sand powder, a thunderstorm suddenly appeared in the sky, which shocked the four of them.

"Brother Jiang, isn't there anyone here who is forming elixirs?" Lin He said in surprise.

"Impossible." Lin Jiang frowned and said, "I was lucky enough to see the scene when the county genius broke through the pill formation. The power of the pill tribulation is not so small. Maybe a great spiritual weapon was born."

"Then what should we do? Aren't those who can refine spiritual weapons usually senior foundation builders?" Lin He asked doubtfully.

"What else should we do? Investigate the truth quickly. This news will definitely alarm the clan leader. We must do something before the clan leader comes. If we are punished to be an elder elsewhere, we will not have such leisure." Lin He said angrily.

, "And even if we are seniors building foundations, it won't matter as long as we are polite. Don't forget that we are members of the Lin family. The master of the family is at the peak of his combined cultivation and the right-hand man of King Zhongwu. Who in the entire Hua Dynasty will not give us face?"

?”

"That's right." The other three nodded hurriedly.

But Lin He's confidence suddenly disappeared. What he said just now was just to be emboldened. The actual situation still needs to be considered. So he said cautiously: "But in any case, there are inner disciples here who have sent out a signal for help. Just in case, we

Lin Hai, please return to your family immediately to report."

Lin Hai nodded, then packed up his things and headed down the mountain, while Lin Jiang and the other three took a deep breath and then cautiously climbed toward the cave.

"Lin Jiang, the elder of the inner sect of the Lin family, wants to see you!"

Lin Jiang shouted several times outside the cave, but there was no response. Then they slowly explored the cave and found the bodies of Lin Kai and Lin Zhuang in the hall.

"Everyone, please don't tamper with the scene! While maintaining the scene, check to see if there are any living people, and be careful not to destroy the footprints!" Lin Jiang reminded hurriedly. The reason why the family arranged it in Nanshan Courtyard was reasonable. Since the tragedy

It's done, all he can do is help the family investigate the matter as clearly as possible.

Lin He nodded, then pointed to the ashes on the stone bed and said, "Is this the foundation-building monk who just overcame the tribulation?"

"Thank you for thinking about it. You can tell at this glance that he has been dead for many years. There must be someone else who caused the thunder tribulation just now." Lin Jiang said angrily.

"Brother Jiang, there is someone unconscious here, it's Lin Yan, yes, it's her!" Lin Hu suddenly shouted.

"The younger sister of the twins in the inner sect?" Lin Jiang asked suspiciously. There were not many people in the inner sect, so he was still very impressed by the twins.

"The sisters have always been inseparable. What about the elder sister?" Lin Jiang muttered again, "Let's see if we can wake her up."

Jiang You has been pretending to be comatose in the side room, but in order to be realistic, she still restrained her consciousness and only kept breathing. Although this would put her in a very dangerous situation, it was also the best choice at the moment.

Soon a pungent herbal smell rushed into her lungs, and Jiang Youye had to wake up due to a cough. At this time, she fell into a daze.

A few months ago, he was an ordinary single, but now he has become a female cultivator in a family of cultivators. But the key is that apart from knowing everyone's names, she knows nothing about them. Now

How should she design her first line?

Senior Brother Lin Jiang, thank you for saving me? This little girl has nothing to repay, so she can only... stop! Does this fit Lin Yan's character setting? Will it arouse everyone's suspicion from the beginning?

Lin Jiang, why are you here now? If I die, can you bear this responsibility? Stop! By the way, does Lin Yan have such a status? Will this anger Lin Jiang and slap him to death?

Suddenly, Jiang You's acting skills exploded. She couldn't help but huddled in the corner and said in fear: "Don't kill me! I don't want the Foundation-Building Pill! I don't want the Qi-Building Pill either! Please don't kill me!"

What's going on? Lin Jiang and the three of them looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Lin Jiang patted Jiang You on the shoulder and said, "Lin Yan, we are here to rescue you. Please tell me carefully, what happened here?"

After living in the original world for a long time, she naturally knew that the best ratio of lies is five points true, two points false, and the remaining three points unknown, so she tried to recall: "A few days ago, Brother Kai

We accidentally discovered the information that there is a foundation-building monk living in seclusion in Huxiao Mountain. According to the time of the information, we can infer that this foundation-building monk has either left or passed away, so we planned to go up the mountain to try our luck, and finally met a demon.

We found this cave with the help of animal hunters."

"Monster hunter?" Lin Jiang asked in confusion, "What kind of monster hunter?"

"A masked woman, whose cultivation level is probably at the sixth level of Qi training. Because she is very familiar with the terrain of Huxiao Mountain, we used a spirit stone to ask her to help us lead the way." Jiang You said half-truthfully.

.

"What's next?" Lin Jiang asked again.

"Then we entered the cave and found that the owner here had indeed passed away, so we started to divide the loot and found some pills in the alchemy room, including three Foundation Establishment Pills. The three Foundation Establishment Pills were difficult to distribute.

Lin Zhuang proposed to distribute based on strength. Since my sister and I always stood together, Lin Zhuang was eliminated in the end, and Brother Kai killed him for not letting him inform the family. Just when we were still doubting that Brother Kai would

When he didn't take action against us, he was ambushed by the guide at the door. It turned out that this guide also hid his strength, and his real strength was still higher than Brother Kai. My sister and I fought hard, but in the end we were no match for her. In the end, I was also beaten.

She was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and then she didn’t know anything else.”

Jiang You finished speaking in one breath, but he didn't know if the other party could understand.

Lin Jiang also fell into deep thought. After digesting it for a long time, he finally understood and asked: "Then do you have any other clues about the mysterious guide?"

Jiang You shook his head and said, "I don't know. I thought the guide's cultivation was weak at first, so I didn't care much about it."

"I'm afraid it's because you already regarded her as a dead person, so you didn't take her to heart!"

A middle-aged man with a majestic appearance and a calm face slowly walked in. Lin Jiang and others immediately bowed upon seeing this.

Jiang You also recognized this person. Lin Teng, the head of the Lin family in Xinghai Town, was in the late stage of foundation building and could be regarded as the top expert in Xinghai Town, so she also dragged her broken body and prepared to salute.

"Forget it." Lin Teng said calmly, "What a harmonious brother, what a sympathizer. Is this what I teach you? Don't forget that you are not only children of the Lin family, but also members of the Huo family army.

, actually imitated those bandits and bandits to kill people and seize treasures, and even took action against their own brothers and sisters!"

"This matter has nothing to do with Yan'er. Yan'er just wanted to protect herself at the time!" Jiang You pretended to explain.

Lin Teng took a slow breath and then said in a deep voice: "I just want to know, was it you who made the move first or she?"

"It's my sister. It was my sister who pushed her into the sea of ​​soul-eating insects first, but I don't know why she is still alive!" Jiang You replied.

"Bastard!" Lin Teng said angrily, "You people are more likely to fail than succeed! If you really kill him and let him escape, then you are probably a person who can cause catastrophe.

At that time, the entire Lin family in Xinghai Town may suffer because of this, and you will never be able to atone for your sins by then!"

Everyone stopped talking, because they knew that no matter how much they said, it was useless with their strength during the Qi training period, and they could only wait for the family leader's further treatment.

"Why are you still standing there? Why have you summoned the clan's masters to seal off the entire Huxiao Mountain? Remember, if you encounter that guide, don't act rashly. You just need to keep him until I can deal with him." Lin Teng said instead.

"I'll go right away." Lin Jiang nodded, "But do you need to ask the county for help?"

"Don't you still think the incident is not big enough?" Lin Teng said coldly, "Anyway, we can't let outsiders know about it, and the guide's matter must be resolved."

"The Lin family is open and aboveboard. Is there anything we shouldn't let outsiders know?" Another man with a mustache came over with a group of police officers.

Lin Teng also frowned slightly when he saw the identity of the visitor. It turned out to be Yue Wuxin, the head catcher stationed in Xinghai Town by the county government. Although his cultivation was only in the early stage of foundation building, he represented the government behind it, let alone the head catcher of this town.

The position was originally designed to contain the local big families.

"So it's Yue Baotou, why did you come to this deep mountain and old forest?" Lin Teng snorted coldly.

But Yue Baotou smiled and said: "There is a thunder disaster in Huxiao Mountain. This is a rare thing that only happens once in a thousand years. Why don't I come? What? There is a murder? Then I have to take care of it."

"This is a private matter of my Lin family." Lin Teng said coldly.

"But this is also a murder case!" Yue Baotou still smiled.

"Are you unwilling to give me this face?" Lin Teng suddenly showed murderous intent, and the pressure of the late stage of foundation building made everyone present breathless.

"Brother Lin, don't get me wrong." Yue Baotou hurriedly waved his hands, "We are not here to cause trouble, we are here to seek refuge with you."
