It's just that a tall tree attracts the wind. The two villa masters were originally talented, and they also had the strengths of two families. The swordsmanship they used also became extremely tyrannical, and they made a name for themselves in the martial arts world! As a result, such a treasure actually attracted the attention of a monster.
This monster first plotted and seriously injured the villa master Kong Da, then directly broke into the villa and threatened his family to kill Xu Er, and successfully took away the swordsmanship secret scroll of Kongxu Villa.
After the villa master Kong Da suffered such a blow, he fell ill and couldn't recover. He lingered on for almost two months before finally dying.
After suffering this great calamity, although Kongxu Villa was not destroyed, the direct descendants were also killed, and they couldn't recover from this setback. Within three years, the martial arts world forces under their control scattered one after another. Therefore, Kongxu Villa was called Empty Villa in the martial arts world, and now it had become a pile of ruins.
However, ten years later, another sword master rose in the martial arts world. This master was called Xue Ran. The swordsmanship he used could be said to be of the same origin as the swordsmanship of Kongxu Villa in the past, but the swordsmanship was unconventional and even more intense.
Xue Ran, on the other hand, had nothing to do with Kong Da and Xu Er. It was just a coincidence that he found the insights of swordsmanship written by Kong Da before he passed away. Then, he combined his own cultivation method and insights to create the current swordsmanship.
Xue Ran was grateful that Kong Da was half a teacher to him. He was also a person who thought of the source when drinking water, so he still named the gang he established as Kongxu Villa, and his swordsmanship was also called Kongxu Swordsmanship.
However, the people in the martial arts world had already called it by that name, so Kongxu Villa and Kongxu Swordsmanship were named. Xue Ran didn't like it, so no one would point it out in front of him.
However, according to the judgment of some discerning people, the swordsmanship that Xue Ran used at this time was the remnant swordsmanship of Kongxu Villa in the past. In addition to some of Xue Ran's own improvements, its power was only 80% of the strength of the two villa masters in the past.

Obviously, these Jianghu rumors were very useful to Fang Lin Yan, so all kinds of compliments were poured out as if they didn't cost money. The bookkeeper was very happy and kept stroking his beard with a smile.
At this moment, Fang Linyan saw a little novice monk in a lama robe walking out with a food box. He suddenly thought of something, and he asked the bookkeeper, "What is this?"
"Why is there a Lama here?"
The bookkeeper asked curiously,
"Is it strange that there is a Lama here? Our Sect also has a special Buddhist temple, the Hall Master is even the Red Cult's Vajra Dharma King. Those monks who violate the precepts and come to our Sect for protection will be assigned to the Vajra Dharma King's command. "
After Fang Linyan heard it, he suddenly realized and said, "Oh."
After the 2 had dinner, Fang Linyan was led to the place where he lived by the accountant, but he found that the treatment of the third-class guest was indeed very ordinary. It could only be said that he had enough food and a place to live. It was barely clean and hygienic, and it was not valued very much.
Therefore, Fang Linyan simply said to the accountant,
"Mr. Ke, you mentioned that there is a steward Wu. If you are recognized by him, you can be promoted?"
"That's right," Mr. Ke said.
Then he immediately came back to his senses. He looked up and down at Fang Linyan and said,
"Are you really confident? Steward Wu is very strict with you. He is very strong, and his mouth is also very vicious, so if it's not a real skill, you still have to think twice. "
"Little Brother Xie, let me tell you this. Almost 30% of the people who went to find Steward Wu failed and left immediately. It's not that they want to leave, but they really don't have the face to stay anymore."
Fang Linyan shrugged his shoulders and said,
"I think I can still give it a try."
Mr. Ke looked at Fang Linyan and said solemnly,
"Little Xie, you have to know that if I recommend you, and you perform poorly, then I will be punished."
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"Don't worry, I think I still have no problem."
At the same time, Fang Linyan also added a sentence in his heart,
"If the recommended person is punished because of his poor strength, then what about the recommended person … This Old Ke is not kind. He only talks about the disadvantages and not the benefits?"
In fact, a shopkeeper like Mr. Ke had another important task, which was to find talents among the hangers-on. He was also treated as a KPI. Every year, he was responsible for selecting at least four of the third-class hangers-on to be promoted to the second-class.
This was the most basic requirement. Otherwise, they would be demoted in the sect. Once four second-class retainers were promoted to the sect's second class, they would be rewarded with an additional one hundred taels of silver at the end of the year for each additional retainer.
After surpassing 8, each additional guest would be 200 silver taels, and promotion and salary increase were also based on this result.
Heavy punishment and heavy reward, this was the secret of the successful rise of the Empty Villa.
Therefore, after Mr. Ke heard that Fang Linyan took the initiative to show his skills, he was still hesitating on the surface, but in fact, he couldn't wait for Fang Linyan to try it himself.
The old fox was so treacherous! If it weren't for the fact that Fang Linyan was also a meticulous person who could even squeeze oil out of a stone, he might even help others count the money after being sold.
So soon, Fang Linyan was taken out of the city by Mr. Ke and came to a large manor only 2 miles away from the county, then he stood in front of Manager Wu.
This was a person who exuded a cold aura all over his body. There was a blood-red sarcoma on his nose. When he looked at people, he liked to squint his eyes and tilt his neck to look at people, giving people the feeling that he was looking at your vital parts at all times, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, Manager Wu should have just eaten, and he was taking a walk on the drill ground next to him. After hearing Fang Linyan's intention, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then he said,
"Xie Wen, right? You debuted as a bodyguard in the second year of Chuping, and you have only been in the martial arts world for more than 4 years now. Although you have a small reputation in the martial arts world, it is said that you are very loyal and fearless in battle. "
"Unfortunately, the two things you're good at can't move me. We don't lack desperadoes in our gang, and all of them are very loyal. What I want is real martial arts, the kind that can fight and kill, the kind that's real!"
Fang Linyan smiled, then he suddenly stretched out his hand and waved at Manager Wu. Manager Wu frowned and said,
"What are you doing?"
Fang Linyan pointed to his shoulder. Manager Wu tilted his head and looked, and his face suddenly changed. Because a leaf actually fell on his shoulder without him knowing when it fell!
Obviously, since the other party could put a leaf on it without anyone noticing, he could also put a dagger on it.
Manager Wu's face suddenly became serious, and he said to Fang Linyan,
"Do it again. If you can still do it, then you pass."
After speaking, Manager Wu stepped into a bow and arrow step, putting on a posture of front palm and back fist. He even stared at Fang Linyan's every move with rapt attention.
Fang Linyan walked up to Manager Wu slowly. The 2 exchanged a few moves, then Fang Linyan stepped back and said with a smile,
"Thank you for letting me win."
Manager Wu was a little puzzled. When he lowered his head, he saw that his lower abdomen was smeared with black charcoal ash. It was very eye-catching on his sky-blue robe!
Obviously, if the 2 fought against each other, it would not be smearing the charcoal, but a dagger would directly stab into it.
This really shocked Manager Wu. If he didn't pay attention to it the first time, then this time he was really speechless. Under full vigilance, he actually fell into Fang Linyan's trap without knowing what happened!
Manager Wu's lips trembled. Obviously, he wanted to know how Fang Linyan did it, but obviously, this was the capital of Fang Linyan's family, so he would definitely keep it strictly confidential.
Since he could be placed in this position, of course, he wouldn't be resentful just because he was defeated. So, he let Fang Linyan pass quickly and promoted him to a second-class guest.
Second-class guests could enjoy the treatment of staying in a single room, and at the same time, there were additional privileges.
Such treatment also made the success rate of Fang Linyan's next step of the plan higher.
Soon, Fang Linyan got a single room of his own, then he simply washed up and lay directly on the bed to take a nap. After all, according to the arrangement of the Möbius Mark, he had a series of difficult things to do.
If he didn't rest well at this time, what if he made an avoidable mistake later?
Just after Fang Linyan slept for about 2 hours, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and woke up at once.
Because at this moment, a series of instructions began to appear continuously on his retina,
"Contractor CD No. 8492116, you have been in this world for 48 hours."
"You have passed the adaptation period of the new world."
"Next, we will enter the survival of the fittest stage!"
"After 15 minutes, there will be an obvious Bloody Pillar state on the body of any warrior team that has not been blessed by the space. This light pillar is only a visual effect and plays the role of marking for 10 minutes."
"This light pillar cannot be observed by local creatures. Only the space warriors can observe it. Not only that, when the Bloody Pillar disappears, it will also leave clear traces in the ground below. It will be more convenient for the other space warriors to track it."
"The current frequency of the Bloody Pillar's appearance is randomly (12-18 hours), but as time goes by, its appearance frequency will become faster."
"At the same time, the duration of the Bloody Pillar on the space warriors will increase rapidly with the passage of time."
"Finally, as time goes by, the number of asylum slots obtained in each space will decrease."
***
After this series of instructions appeared, Fang Linyan took a deep breath,
"It really came!"
If this matter was caught off guard, then it would definitely be chaotic. However, Fang Linyan had the Möbius Mark to cheat, so he knew this information in advance, so he had already considered the next response clearly.
He first stuck a big beard on himself, then changed his appearance — this was to protect the identity of Xie Wen — then he went outside calmly and ran directly to the county office of Gutian County.
Because of the cover of "Quirrell's Headscarf", Fang Linyan's entry was quite smooth.
Then Fang Linyan found a place in the county office and waited quietly for the arrival of the Bloody Pillar.
At this time, for Fang Linyan, the appearance of the first wave of the Bloody Pillar was actually the safest because most people would seek stability after encountering such an emergency. They would not move around randomly, but they would be on high alert.
After all, there were still a group of people with the strongest strength who were protected by the space!
The appearance of the Bloody Pillar was actually the time when these people began to reap and celebrate.
Let the strong be stronger, and the weak be weaker. This was the law that all spaces implemented unanimously.
In fact, this was also the case. If the resources were divided equally like sprinkling pepper, the final combat power obtained would definitely not be as strong as the strength obtained by concentrating all the resources on one point!
A ferocious tiger that had undergone a qualitative change could easily divide and eliminate a flock of armed sheep.
Fang Linyan hid in the county office. Unless he was unlucky to have a warrior recognized by a space within 100 meters, and the warrior also had the identity of being able to walk freely in the county office, then he could be as stable as Mount Tai.
After all, the yamen runners and army in this world were definitely not decorations. If they were weak, the frequent monsters and underworld people could directly teach them a lesson! Not everyone could be like Fang Linyan, who had such a powerful concealment item like "Quirrell's Headscarf".
"The Bloody Light Pillar is coming, the countdown below …"
“10，9，8.....1”
The following prompt began to appear on the retina of Fang Linyan, who was lying on the county magistrate's bed.
After the countdown was completed, Fang Linyan found that the Noah's Mark on his chest uncontrollably emitted a strong blood-red light.
Immediately afterward, this light shot straight into the sky like a sword!! As if it was going to break into the sky.
At this time, Fang Linyan suddenly remembered the situation when he was carrying out the joint trial. The current scene was quite similar to that time.
At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief because he was sure that he did not get the protection of the space! If it were others, they might think that this matter must be done as soon as possible, but for Fang Linyan who had the Möbius Mark, being selected for the protection list definitely represented the focus of the space.
This was not something to be happy about! Once the will of Space S was nearby, if the Möbius Mark wanted to do something, it would have to consume the hard-earned Bisca data stream. That was a very bad thing.
Fang Linyan tried to walk for a while and found that the bloody light pillar above his head would stay at a position of 5 or 6 meters above his head. Once the distance between him and it exceeded 10 meters, the light pillar would automatically return to the center of his head and move with him. It was completely like an oversized indicator!
There was no doubt that at this time, Fang Linyan had released the drone to hover about 50 meters above his head, and he could see everything clearly.
To his relief, there were only 3 bloody light pillars visible to the naked eye (including Fang Linyan himself). The nearest one seemed to be more than 10 kilometers away. This was because Fang Linyan had taken precautions before and cleverly avoided those hot areas.
There was no doubt that the so-called hot areas referred to places like Ye Wancheng, the capital of the sacrificial competition country. He believed that there were already rivers of blood there at this time.
Of course, at this time, Fang Linyan had already pulled out the space ranking list and paid close attention to it. Obviously, there would be violent fluctuations in this list in a short period of time.
Sure enough, after 5 minutes, Noah Realm R, who was originally in the first place, had dropped to the 6th place, and Noah Realm Q, who was originally in the 6th place, had jumped to the 2nd place.
Obviously, Noah Realm Q's warriors successfully ambushed the main force of Noah Realm R and won a comprehensive victory, so they took all the soul beads from the dead warriors.
But at this moment, Fang Linyan's eyes suddenly narrowed! This was because the drone he shared with him saw a person walking towards them.
From the perspective of the drone, this person looked like a very ordinary servant girl. She carried a tea tray and walked hurriedly with her head lowered. At this time, servant girls like this were not rare in the government office. After all, the county magistrate also had to bring his female family members to work.
But the problem was that the direction she was heading towards seemed to be here. Yes, it was the place where Fang Linyan was hiding, the county magistrate's study!
More importantly, if she was an enemy, but there was no bloody light pillar on her … That meant one thing!
This person was protected by his realm. In other words, her strength would be very strong, so strong that even the realm recognized her and gave her a protection spot!
Fortunately, Fang Linyan also had a plan for this situation. With a flick of his finger, a faint silver light appeared immediately, then quickly condensed into a human figure.
This person looked like a person with a high nose and deep eyes. He was a typical race of the Europa Peninsula. He wore a red cockscomb iron helmet on his head, held a typical Argus shield in his left hand, and held a Spartan spear in his right hand.
This was the divine servant of the goddess he summoned with the enhanced version of the soul language spell. He did not know fatigue and pain, and regarded death in battle as glory. Because of his identity as a heroic spirit, even if he died, he would be reborn in the divine kingdom.
As soon as this heroic spirit appeared, he immediately knelt down on one knee to Fang Linyan and said,
"Sir Knight, the servant of the goddess, Jiatailie, is here. He will absolutely obey your orders."
Fang Linyan nodded. With a wave of his hand, he consumed a small amount of utility points to change his image, making his appearance disguised as a sword-shield soldier in this world. However, he was not holding a podao in his right hand, but a one-handed short spear that could be thrown and used in close combat.
Then Fang Linyan issued an order to Jiatailie,
"You stay at the door. If anyone comes in, kill them!"
Fang Linyan went directly to the attic of the study. In this way, because the bloody light pillar would not accurately point to the head, the other party could only determine that the target was in this house, but he couldn't lock on the specific person.
