The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 47: Boss, you are not allowed to practice it
It's quiet at night.

In the Fuwei Escort Agency, the noise coming from the courtyard where Chief Escort Lin lived attracted the attention of many people. After word spread, they immediately gathered in groups, holding weapons, and rushed over.

"Captain Escort, what happened here?"

"Captain Escort, are you okay?!"

"Captain Escort, hey, it's that masked man in black, everyone be careful!"

"How dare you break into our Fuwei Escort Agency alone? Humph, you must teach him a lesson!"

A group of escort leaders jumped onto the wall and looked inside. When they saw Xu Xingchen, they immediately jumped into the yard shouting, holding weapons and surrounding Xu Xingchen with serious expressions.

Lin Zhennan and his wife, who had recovered their breath, looked at the weapons that had fallen not far away, and exchanged glances, with a hint of bitterness on their faces.

The two of them joined forces, but they were unable to withstand a single move from the newcomer. This kind of predicament was something they had never encountered before. For a moment, even though they were surrounded by many strong and capable escort leaders, Lin Zhennan and his wife still felt a sense of desolation and helplessness in their hearts.

They knew very well that if the masked man in black in front of them really wanted to attack them, the escort leaders around them would be just chickens and dogs and would be unable to withstand a single blow.

Fortunately, Xu Xingchen had no intention of taking action again.

These bodyguards did not see the scene of themselves repelling Lin Zhennan and his wife, and did not know how many rounds the three of them had fought before.

They also had no idea how strong their martial arts were, so doing this would allow Lin Zhennan and his wife to save some face.

Otherwise, once Lin Zhennan and his wife lost all face, how could they continue to be the backbone of these escorts and run the Fuwei Escort Agency? !
Xu Xingchen just wanted Lin Zhennan and his wife to realize the truth about their "low martial arts skills" and had no intention of destroying their business.

"Should we injure some escorts and let them have a taste of failure?"

Xu Xingchen looked around with ill intent at the eager escorts around him, and after thinking about it, he decided to give up. If he continued to attack, the Fuwei Escort Agency would probably be disbanded early.

"I have already experienced the skills of Chief Escort Lin and his wife. That's all for tonight. I'm leaving now!"

After that, in full view of everyone, he jumped onto the roof, and with a few leaps, he quickly disappeared into the night.

Several escort leaders holding An Qingzi in their hands cursed unwillingly: "Luckily the masked man ran fast, otherwise, I would have made him try my hidden weapon skills!"

Someone nearby sneered, "Old Second Bai, stop bragging. When your master was at the Lin family's ancestral home, he was hit by the three masked men in black and accidentally injured his arm. If you had dared to attack him just now, I'm afraid your life would be in danger!"

Bai Lao Er was obviously getting anxious, and he shouted, "There were so many of us just now, if we all used hidden weapons and attacked together, I don't believe that the man would not be hurt at all!"

Lin Zhennan and his wife, who had come to their senses, hurriedly comforted everyone. Amid the questions and concerns of the escort leaders, they said frankly that the newcomer was too powerful and that even if they joined forces, they were no match for him. Fortunately, everyone arrived in time and no one was injured.

As for how many rounds they fought with the masked man in black, they kept silent about it.

When the escort leaders dispersed in groups of three or five, he persuaded his late son Lin Pingzhi to go back to the house. The two of them picked up the long sword and golden knife on the ground and returned to the house.

The lanterns in the corner were bright, but the house was silent.

After a while, Mrs. Lin saw that her husband was in low spirits, so she tried to comfort him, "Boss, the martial arts of that masked man in black should be top-notch in the martial arts world. It's normal for him to defeat the two of us!"

"Alas!" Lin Zhennan sighed and said with a worried look on his face, "A few days ago, a family heirloom was lost in our ancestral home, and tonight, another strong man came to provoke us. Our Fuwei Escort Agency has been through many disasters this year."

Mrs. Lin was about to continue to comfort them when there was another knock on the door. The two of them stood up immediately like frightened birds and grabbed the long sword and golden knife on the table.

"Who?"

This time, the two did not rush out recklessly again. Lin Zhennan spoke first and asked.

"Still down!"

The low and hoarse voice coming from outside the door made them shudder. Mrs. Lin was so flustered that she accidentally pushed over the chair behind her. Bang!
The bolt broke in two, and the door was suddenly pushed open. The masked man in black who had returned was standing at the door. Without waiting for the two people in the room to exclaim, he raised his hand and threw a red object to the ground, saying, "Boss Lin, this is what I took from the Buddhist temple in your Lin family's ancestral home. Now, it is returned to its original owner."

After saying that, he turned around again, jumped onto the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the night.

Lin Zhennan and his wife were so upset by the masked man in black who came back and left quickly again that it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

Seeing his wife's pale face and fear in her eyes, Lin Zhennan took a deep breath, forced down the trembling in his heart, raised his sword, walked carefully to the door, and looked out.

After a long while, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, closed the door, and said to his wife, "Madam, it's okay, that man is really gone this time!"

Then, his eyes fell on the red object on the ground.

"That person said this thing is the one in my Lin family's ancestral home."

Lin Zhennan walked forward hesitantly, bent over to pick it up, and unfolded it. It turned out to be a red cassock, but the lining was covered with dense handwriting and some small human figures.

"Sword Manual of Exorcism!"

When Lin Zhennan saw the four slightly larger characters at the top of the text, his eyes froze and he thought to himself, "Is this really the Sword Manual of Exorcism of my Lin family?!"

His eyes moved downwards, and when he saw the eight words "If he wants to practice magic skills, he must castrate himself", he couldn't help but cry out "Ah!"

Mrs. Lin, who was still a little suspicious, was immediately awakened. She hurried over and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you? What's the problem with this cassock?"

"I'm fine!" Lin Zhennan took a deep breath and was about to close the cassock in his hand, but Mrs. Lin had sharp eyes and had already seen the first words on it. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "What kind of swordsmanship is this? It actually requires people to castrate themselves to practice it?"

Lin Zhennan snorted coldly and said angrily, "This thing must be something that the black-clothed masked man made up. If the Sword Manual of Exorcism of my Lin family ancestors was really practiced in this way, how could my Lin family be passed down from generation to generation and still be passed down to this day?"

"I guess that masked man in black has evil intentions and deliberately fabricated this sword manual to play a trick on me."

"There is no need to read the following content. There must be many mistakes and omissions. I will burn it to prevent Pingzhi from seeing it and causing endless trouble."

Lin Zhennan said this, but in his heart he recalled the Lin family's ancestral precepts: "The ancestral house in Xiangyang Lane and the things in the Buddhist temple are not allowed to be looked through by the descendants of the Lin family, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

He originally had doubts about this ancestral precept, but now when he saw the eight words "If you want to practice magical skills, castrate yourself" on the cassock, he suddenly understood it. At the same time, he also believed in the authenticity of the sword manual on the cassock.

The things in this Buddhist temple are just as the Lin family's ancestral precepts say. Once you look at them, there will be endless troubles!

Now that he understood what was going on, Lin Zhennan immediately prepared to follow his ancestors' teachings and stop reading. Unexpectedly, his wife frowned and said, "Whether this thing is true or false, we should finish reading it. Later, there may be reasons why the masked man in black is looking for trouble with our family!"

After saying that, he gently took it from his hand and spread it out on the table.

Lin Zhennan looked down at his palm, and he understood clearly that he was actually somewhat tempted and wanted to see the contents on it, otherwise, he would not have let his wife take it so easily.

With a feeling of uneasiness, he walked forward and looked at the contents with his wife.

After reading the whole article, Lin Zhennan was attracted by the Qi circulation routes above several times, and his internal energy couldn't help but circulate along with it. After a while, it was just as recorded above, with restlessness rushing down and desire burning in his body. Frightened, he quickly collected his mind and returned his internal energy to Dantian.

Even so, Lin Zhennan couldn't help but want to continue watching.

As a woman, Mrs. Lin probably would not be affected by this technique. After reading the whole article, she did not find any backup message from the masked man in black. She was puzzled when she inadvertently saw her husband's face turning red and blue. She also noticed that his breath was chaotic and unstable. She was startled for a moment, then woke up immediately.

"Is this sword manual real?"

"Boss, you are not allowed to practice it!"

　Please collect, read and vote, and give me some help!
