New and dark light years

Chapter 224 What’s the origin?

It's no wonder she was so excited, after all, she had endured humiliation and resentment for nearly ten years.

The reason why Xu Rong betrayed the Kunlun Sect was explained by Wang Tianyou and Li Lin earlier. Li Yanjing was also hiding nearby and overheard the conversation.

Actually, it's quite simple. Although Xu Rong grew up in the Kunlun Sect, she didn't want to be a furnace for those old men, so she escaped.

Then, after being chased all the way to the Southern Frontier, he hid in the Wang family and became a concubine, which gave him a temporary respite.

For her, she was the one who was hurt.

Why must an apprentice become the furnace (or vessel)?

The other senior and junior sisters don't need to be the cauldron, is it just because she's pretty?
She is not convinced.

She lived a comfortable life in the Wang family. Although her status was not high, she didn't need to worry about too many things. All she had to do was practice her skills and live well.

But now... the Kunlun Sect has come looking for us again.

She truly resented why the elders of the Kunlun Sect always came to cause her trouble.

I've even heard that her family members have been killed by the elders of the Kunlun Sect.

Now that Li Yanjing was willing to help her take revenge, Xu Rong's expression immediately changed.

"really?"

“Of course, I have no reason to lie,” Li Yanjing said with a smile.

Xu Rong was silent for a while, then asked, "But Kunlun is in the north, far from here."

“They’ve sent people over, haven’t they?” Li Yanjing smiled and said, “I can ask the patriarch… that is, the County Commandant Li you mentioned, to arrest those Kunlun Mountain disciples who came to Yulin County, imprison them, and then hand them over to you for processing, how about that!”

Xu Rong thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! Give me some paper and pen, and I will write down the Hanshan Taisu Scripture for you from memory within three days."

"no problem."

After the transaction was completed, Li Yanjing disappeared without a trace.

Xu Rong was startled at first, then breathed a sigh of relief. This person was actually the Ghostly True Lord.

Then I felt somewhat relieved.

Although the Wang family's attitude towards her is now almost no different from that of the Kunlun Sect.

But... she's almost thirty now, no longer the eighteen-year-old she once was, and she no longer has that impulse and rebellious spirit.

If she offends the Wang family again, she will have nowhere to stand and will have to wander again. In fact, she is already fed up with it.

Moreover, if the Kunlun Sect hadn't reappeared this time, the Wang family wouldn't have 'sent' her out.

Ultimately, it still comes down to the Kunlun Sect's problems.

In the days that followed, Xu Rong stayed at Li Lin's house.

As a guest, her food, clothing, and lodging were all taken good care of, but she was not allowed to go to the backyard.

Seeing this, Huang Qing felt relieved, knowing that Li Lin had no romantic feelings for this Miss Xu.

I immediately felt a surge of joy.

Three days later, Xu Rong handed the Hanshan Taisu Scripture to Li Yanjing.

After looking it over, Li Yanjing said, "Wait here."

After saying that, he went into the backyard.

Not long after, Li Lin came out.

He smiled and said, "I already know about your deal with Yan Jing. Now, come with me to the county government office."

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and nodded emphatically.

She hadn't expected Li Lin to catch the person so quickly.

Half an hour later, Li Lin brought Xu Rong to the county jail.

Many martial arts figures have been imprisoned here.

It was very noisy inside, with cries of pleas and insults filling the air.

Upon arriving at a more inward-facing area, Xu Rong spotted several familiar faces.

Their clothes were disheveled, their faces were pale, and they looked extremely disheveled.

When Xu Rong saw them, she immediately leaned closer with a gloating expression and said through the iron bars with a grin, "Elder Sun, it's been a long time, almost ten years, hasn't it?"

An old man inside suddenly stood up, looking at Xu Rong in disbelief: "You're really here?" "Didn't you find out I was here before you came?"

The old man had a strange expression. He glanced at Li Lin and then said, "No... we came for the Paper Prince."

Xu Rong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You didn't expect to fall into my hands today, did you?"

Elder Sun sighed and said, "Xu Rong, what happened back then was all a misunderstanding."

"If it were a misunderstanding, would I have been hunted down for two years? If it were a misunderstanding, why would my family have died? For ten whole years, I've dreamt every day that you would fall into my hands. Heaven has eyes, hahahaha..."

Elder Sun was speechless.

Xu Rong laughed for a while, then turned to Li Lin: "County Commandant, may I use torture on them?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Lin characterized the matter, saying, "This is an internal conflict within your Kunlun Sect, I don't care. The government won't get involved either."

Upon hearing this, Xu Rong became even more excited. She couldn't help but burst into a somewhat manic laugh, while the expressions of the Kunlun Sect prisoners changed drastically.

Elder Sun looked at Li Lin: "You corrupt official, this is... bending the law for personal gain."

Li Lin smiled but didn't look at him.

These江湖人 (jianghu people) are almost all after me. Do they really think I'm easy to talk to?

Xu Rong asked the jailer beside her, "Could you lend me some instruments of torture?"

The jailer, seeing that Xu Rong had come with Li Lin, naturally dared not refuse to lend her the money.

Li Lin turned and left, and soon after, screams came from behind him.

He arrived at the innermost section of the prison, where several dark-skinned men were imprisoned.

It must be said that the monks of Kongji Temple are indeed very resilient. Even after being burned like this, they are still alive, and their skin has not been infected and is slowly recovering.

“Master Kongse, can you tell me why people from your Buddhist sect are targeting me?”

"Amitabha!" Kongse's face was dark and covered with cracked dead skin: "Benefactor Li, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to turn back to."

"Why did I turn back? What did I do wrong? Did I abduct a woman in the street, or kill countless people?"

Kong Se was stunned. He really didn't know what evil things Li Lin had done.

"In other words, you have no idea what happened, and yet you come looking for trouble with me. What's the difference between you and the evil sects?"

Kongse quickly lowered his head and silently recited the Buddha's name.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Our Southern Route Army has already set off, and we estimate that we will be able to surround Kongji Temple in two or three days."

Kong Se suddenly opened his eyes: "County Commandant Li, we should take responsibility for what we did. You can't implicate innocent people."

"Hypocritical." Li Lin sneered: "Just a few days ago, wasn't I innocent too? You people said not to get involved."

Kong Se sighed and slowly closed her eyes again.

"But if you can provide some information that I am very interested in, I will consider pardoning Kongji Temple."

Li Lin's tone had a condescending air about him.

But the people around them who were listening thought it was perfectly normal.

After all, Li Lin was an official.

He was still the Military Commander.

In their stereotype, all high-ranking officials speak in this tone.

Kongse was somewhat tempted, but remained silent.

Just then, a shifty-eyed man suddenly spoke up: "Sir, I'm willing to provide you with some useful information. Could you let me leave here?"

Li Lin looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

"My surname is Li, and my given name is Shitong." The man smiled obsequiously. "I'm known in the martial arts world as the 'Listening-to-the-Tides Rat'."

After pondering the nickname, Li Lin realized that the other person's specialty was intelligence.

"tell me the story."

“Huilong Temple… has also sent people to Yulin County.” Li Shitong bowed and said in a low voice, “They’re here for you too.”

Li Lin raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Who are they?"

“Huilong Temple is also known as Tianlong Temple,” Li Shitong explained. “They became famous earlier and have a deeper foundation than Shaolin Temple. If Shaolin is the public face of Buddhism, then Tianlong Temple is the true leader of Buddhism.”
