Chapter 44: The Origin of the Lin Family
Everyone sat down again, and Lin Feng stared at Zhang Hao, wanting to hear him tell the hidden story of the Lin family.
"The Lin family, in fact, is just a popular saying now, in fact, at the beginning, you were called the Lin family. "Because Zhang Hao was born in an imperial family, he has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he knows the most.
He said carefully: "Hundreds of years ago, there was no Burning Cloud Country, and this was still an undeveloped area. At that time, there was a group of young people, they had no background, no strength, they should have been working all their lives, but by chance, they obtained the cultivation method.
No one wants to live an ordinary life, and they are no exception, after obtaining the cultivation method, everyone works hard to cultivate, and finally, when they feel that their qualifications have reached the end, they decide to go out and explore.
They have great ambitions, dare to fight, and in the fight again and again, they finally have followers. Of course, some people joined, some people left, some people were tired of fighting and killing, and retired to the red dust, and some people died on the battlefield.
After decades of fighting, the group of young men finally conquered a large country, and they established themselves as kings, naming the territory they had conquered as the Burning Cloud Kingdom. And the original group of young people, after so many years, there are only eight people left. ”
Zhang Hao, the eighth prince, looked at Lin Feng and said, "You should have guessed that the ancestor of your Lin family is one of those eight people. The eight people are like brothers, because the previous battles were basically commanded by the ancestors of my Zhang family, so the seven people, including the ancestors of the three of you, unanimously decided to make the ancestors of my Zhang family the head of state, and the other seven people were all crowned kings. ”
"So the Lin family is just a common name now. Chen Peng continued: "The Lin family is not only a family, but also a royal family, or the Lin Palace. ”
"I see. Lin Feng suddenly realized, until today, he didn't know the origin of the Lin family, which is actually not to blame him, the Lin family has not mentioned that they are a royal family for hundreds of years, and only a few core people in the entire Lin family know.
"For hundreds of years, our eight tribes have been united in the same spirit, helping each other, during the war, among the later joiners, some of the meritorious people, we were also crowned kings, but many of these people have different intentions, whenever there is a rebellion, our eight tribes will join forces to suppress it. ”
Zhang Hao continued: "That's why, after hundreds of years of tempering, the relationship between our eight clans has become so close. ”
"So Lin Feng, don't be restrained in front of us, because we are already like a family. Luo Hao said with a smile.
"Hmm. Lin Feng nodded, quite touched by their enthusiasm.
"Brother Lin......"
Zhang Hao just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Luo Hao, only to see Luo Hao scolding and saying: "Brother Lin, you shouted so unfamiliarly, we will call our names directly in the future, don't add any more kind words." Okay Zhang Hao, just keep saying whatever you want!"
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly, Luo Hao is straightforward by nature, and he goes straight to everything, and it is precisely because of this that he offends many people, but he appreciates this kind of character very much, and it is much easier to deal with this kind of person.
So Zhang Hao continued: "Lin Feng, when you came to the imperial capital this time, you should have come to the core disciples of the Burning Cloud Sect, I don't know how many layers of certainty you have. ”
When Lin Feng heard this, he was blinded again, what was this talking about, so he had to ask: "What is the Lieyun Sect, what is the matter with the core disciples, can you make it clearer." ”
"You don't know?" Luo Hao looked at Lin Feng in surprise.
"I don't know. ”
"Why don't you know anything!" Luo Hao looked at Lin Feng as if he were mentally retarded.
"Alas!" Zhang Hao put his hand on his forehead and let out a helpless sigh.
Even Chen Peng was surprised, although he knew Lin Feng first, and knew that Lin Feng came to the emperor this time to find the Chen family to cast a battle weapon, but he didn't ask Lin Feng if he came to participate in the selection of the Burning Cloud Sect.
He thought that when he came to the imperial capital at this point in time, he must have mainly come to participate in the selection, and as for casting the battle weapon, it was just a matter of convenience. But who knows, Lin Feng really came to cast the battle weapon, and he didn't know anything about the selection.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, he was new to the city, he didn't know anything, and his family hadn't mentioned it to him, so he was also helpless. Since he didn't understand, he had to humbly ask: "What is the specific selection you are talking about, can you explain it clearly." ”
Looking at Lin Feng's appearance, everyone knew that he really didn't know anything, so Zhang Hao explained: "The Lieyun Sect is the protector sect of the Lieyun Country, and the main purpose of its existence is to cultivate talents for the Lieyun Country.
The Lieyun Sect accepts disciples once every ten years, and every time it recruits disciples, it will carry out a selection competition in the imperial capital to select the people they like, and there is still half a month, which is the selection time for this session. ”
"What is the strength of this Burning Cloud Sect?" Lin Feng asked, naturally, the Burning Cloud Sect's combat power, internal resources, and their ability to cultivate talents. Lin Feng vaguely felt that his grandfather asked him to come to the imperial capital at this time, and it seemed that it was not just as simple as asking him to retrieve the weapon.
"As the largest sect in the Lieyun Country, the strength of the Lieyun Sect is naturally very strong. Zhang Hao nodded: "Within the Lieyun Sect, a large number of exercises and secret techniques are included, and the resources in the sect are also very rich, even the people of my Zhang family will basically go in to practice, because if you shine there, you will have a great advantage in running for the emperor in the future." ”
"Moreover, the conditions for the Lieyun Sect to recruit disciples are extremely harsh. Chen Peng added: "First of all, the selection is made once every ten years, and the age of the contestants cannot be higher than twenty years old, the realm cannot be lower than the Qi Gathering Realm, and they must be from the Burning Cloud Country. ”
"Oh, wouldn't those who happen to be eleven years old suffer in that case? Lin Feng asked.
"No, it won't. Chen Peng shook his head and said: "Every game, there will be an elder of the Lieyun Sect who will watch it personally, if you can have extraordinary cultivation or ability at the age of eleven, even if you lose the competition, you can still be selected." ”
"The Lieyun Sect will recruit a hundred talented people at a time, and ten of them can be directly selected as core disciples. Of course, even if a royal family like us does not participate in the selection, there are two places, but we can only become ordinary disciples, and if we want to become core disciples, we must be favored by the elders. Chen Peng added.
"By the way, Lin Feng, I don't know what realm you are in now, is it convenient to reveal?" Zhang Hao asked.
"The middle stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. Lin Feng replied truthfully.
When the three of them heard this, they all nodded secretly, and they were more satisfied with Lin Feng's realm. Because of their identity, they will regard Lin Feng as a friend, but if Lin Feng's realm is too low, they will not be able to truly integrate into them.
"You are here at the right time today, and there are two more people coming later, both of whom are from our eight families. Zhang Hao said.
"Oh, who else?" asked Chen Peng, who even he didn't know who else was, and as he was talking, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Just now I watched that there was a purple gas condensation in the sky above Xueyue Tower, presumably there must be a big person in the building, but I don't know if it is here or not. As he spoke, the door opened, and a man entered.
is also a teenager, with an ordinary appearance, nothing outstanding, and a relatively thin figure. Judging by his appearance, his age should be a little younger than Lin Feng, but he made an old-fashioned appearance.
"As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that it was you, the fortune teller, who was swaggering and abducting all day long, and one day he would be severely beaten. Zhang Hao looked at the person who came and sneered.
"Cut, in this Burning Cloud Country, there are a few people who dare to provoke me. The thin young man sat down with a big grin, not caring that the person in front of him was the eighth prince of the Burning Cloud Kingdom.
When Zhang Hao heard this, his face turned pale, from childhood to adulthood, there were a few people who dared to be so rude to him, but the kid in front of him was an exception, even if he couldn't do anything with the kid in front of him.
Seeing that Zhang Hao was a little annoyed, Chen Peng smiled gently: "You kid better keep a low profile, in case you really run into a ruthless stubble one day, you kid will suffer." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. The thin boy was full of perfunctory, and muttered: "All of them are nagging like my father, and they are annoyed to death." ”
Then, he looked at Lin Feng and Luo Hao and asked, "I don't know who the two are?"
Lin Feng saw that this person was arrogant and domineering as soon as he came in, and his first impression of him was that of a gentleman, Lin Feng was the most disdainful of this kind of person, but his attitude at this time was quite respectful, plus he knew Chen Peng and Zhang Hao, Lin Feng was not easy to help his face.
So he clenched his fists and said, "In the lower forest wind." ”
"Luo Hao. ”
The words of the two are very concise, which shows that their first impression of the thin boy is indeed not very good.
"The Luo family in Beicheng, the Lin family in Falling Moon City?" the thin boy asked again.
Lin Feng and Luo Hao were a little surprised when they heard this, this person didn't look good, but they actually guessed their origin just by one name, and both of them retracted their previous prejudices.
"It seems that this person is not as simple as it seems. Lin Feng said secretly in his heart.
"Beicheng, perennial foreign invasion, constant wars, since ancient times in troubled times, the Luo family is based on the top of Beicheng, naturally it is even more heroic, Brother Luo Hao should also be a generation of geniuses.
The Lin family has always been very low-key, and they rarely send people out, guarding the Falling Moon City alone, and never participating in disputes in the outside world, but every time someone goes out, it will definitely set off a storm in the outside world.
Yes, to be able to get acquainted with the two of you, today is not in vain, no wonder I see that there is purple gas condensation in the sky, and it is really because the two of you are here. The thin boy also clenched his fists at Lin Feng and the others.
"You're a fart. Zhang Hao sneered, the garden in the house was open-air, and he could see the sky, he pointed to the sky and said, "You tell Lao Tzu, where does the purple gas come from here." ”
"Tut-tut. The thin young man pouted and shook his head with disdain, and looked at Zhang Hao with a hint of pity and said: "A humble mortal, a mortal with the naked eye, how can he see through the heavens." ”
