Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 20: The Jianghu Is Like a Song (Part 2)
There were many scenes of people recognizing relatives in public. People in Taihang County had seen many storms, so the small disturbance caused by Li Lin was nothing special. It would be better to say that most of the disturbance was caused by Li Lin's face. However, this was not a world where the second generation of rich people controlled everything, and no one came to rob women. Otherwise, Li Lin would be so angry that he would give up his magic power reserves, and an alien incarnation would probably destroy Taihang County. It was also a possible danger that was avoided.
Of course, the two people involved did not know that their unintentional actions might have saved the entire Taihang County and even the world. They just kept talking about all kinds of basic common sense along the way. It felt like treating Li Lin as a mentally retarded amnesiac. Although Li Lin repeatedly stated that he was a time traveler, he got nothing except a subtle look.
But the natives are all fools, so just treat them as fools. After trying a few times and being sure that these people didn't believe in or know about the other world, Li Lin shrugged and said nothing more.
The office of Canglang Sword School also looks very impressive in the whole Taihang County. There is a memorial archway with flying eaves and brackets, and the two characters "Iron Painting and Silver Hook" are hung on the top, which is very imposing. Even if you are illiterate, you can know that the characters are "Canglang". Some swordsmen in blue shirts are walking around under the memorial archway, either asking about the notes on the notice board below, or talking about some strange things with others.
After seeing Li Linxia and the strong man, the idle people all looked serious and bowed their hands to show their etiquette. It seems that the black-maned strong man and Li Linxia have a strong status in this sect. As a result, Li Lin was also bowed a few times.
It is obvious that those who can be brought in by two senior executives are either senior executives or potential players, so there is nothing wrong with showing more goodwill.
But Li Lin didn't care about these things. Most of these people's eyebrows and eyes were thrown to the blind. Instead, Li Lin was quite interested in the whispers of some people in secret.
"The Canglang Sword Sect has seven sword masters and four disciples who are masters. It's so impressive."
"The righteous path is in the lead nowadays, more powerful than the Taihang Temple?"
"The Four Qimen are not having a good time either. Didn't we hear that there was a traitor? Now he has fled to the desert with the forbidden treasures of the sect. I don't know how deep his hatred is. Even if he dies, the sect will not be happy..."
Such discussions only flashed through his mind before Li Lin was dragged by the burly man and Li Linxia into an inner courtyard on a street.
It seemed that some special arrangement was made. It was noisy before entering the room, but it became silent after entering. And it seemed that this was still their private space. After entering, the whole temperament became a little softer, and the conversation became more leisurely and patient.
Although he was still chattering about various things that even a mentally retarded person could see, he had at least successfully become an ordinary person. However, even after being introduced to the room that Li Lin was going to live in - a spacious-looking personal compartment - there was still no sign of completion of the task. Li Lin had nothing to do, so he found a chair and sat down, quietly watching the burly man and Li Linxia bragging to him.
To be precise, Li Lin had no idea about their bragging about their abilities that were rare in the sky and unique on earth. However, Li Lin found the worldview setting they occasionally mentioned quite interesting. Because this is not an infinite world, but a finite one.
In fact, this world has boundaries.
"There is the desert in the north, the Hell Sea in the west, the cliffs in the South Pole, and the mountains in the east. Our world is like a chessboard. The mountains are as smooth as walls. Even the Grandmasters cannot climb them. Even if they carve with strange objects, no traces will be left. The South Pole is a cliff bordering the mountains. The sea and the sky are all included in the infinite cliff. There is no trace of the desert and the Hell Sea. There were Grandmasters who went to spy on them, but they returned from the extremes without any signs of reaching the end. Our world is just this big."
"A world where a Grandmaster can travel from the southernmost to the northernmost in fifteen days, don't you think this place is very crowded and narrow? It only takes fifteen days to travel around the world, and there is nothing else. Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's so strange about that? Isn't this how the world is? Only the weird stories told by storytellers can describe the boundless mountains and seas, right?"
Li Linxia said this as a matter of course, and the sturdy man nodded in agreement, as if he was not surprised at all.
Li Lin finally understood why there was no one in this world who could fight. It would be strange if there was anyone who could fight. The whole world was round and square, with a total area less than one-tenth of a regular planet. The control ability was extremely poor, and everyone was guarding their own things.
It would be strange if such a world could produce any extraordinary figures. As soon as Li Lin heard about this world view, he had already made up his mind. After finding out whether the Shangqing Sect existed, he ran to the end of the world to see what the edge of the world was like. It was just a wonder the size of a planet. As someone who had rewound the planet repeatedly, Li Lin really didn't take these things seriously. But the mission hadn't shown to be completed yet, so he just left it like that for now.
However, he just casually mentioned Shangqing Sect, but the performance of the sturdy man with black mane made Li Lin a little surprised.
"You are looking for the Shangqing Sect... Shangqing Sect... Hiss, I seem to have some impression of it..."
Touching his steel-bristle beard, the sturdy man frowned, as if thinking about something, then stood up and walked into the study.
After hearing a rustling sound in the study, the sturdy man walked out, patted the dust off his head, and placed a jade book that looked emerald green on the table. It seemed to contain some hidden energy , and a cloud of mist gradually swirled inside.
"If you talk about the Shangqing Sect, this is the one I remember."
This should be it.
The sturdy man frowned and thought for a while, then fiddled with the huge jade. He touched the corner under the huge jade for a few times, and then when the sturdy man put his hand on the front, a line of neat and orderly words quickly appeared on the jade that looked as big as a book. Li Lin walked forward to take a look, and faced with the colorful words, he couldn't help but frowned.
He is illiterate.
