Chapter 1 Hidden Forest Village
In the early morning, the depths of the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the surrounding scenery is hazy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Quietly, the sun peeked out from the east, broke through the barrier of the fog, emitted a soft light, the fog gradually dispersed, and the mountains and forests were slowly waking up. The steep rocks between the blue sky and white clouds fade their hazy colors, and a clear spring winds down the mountain, and the spring water hits the mountain rocks "dingdong", as if playing and singing a beautiful music, the smooth pebbles in the spring water are clearly visible, and the high mountain clouds are also reflected in it. A gust of wind blew, the leaves in the forest rustled, as if to meet the music of the wind, the calm lake rippled layer by layer, and two crisp birdsong came from the mountain stream, a paradise scene.
In the distance, a group of people in the forest were slowly approaching the woods, and before they could get close, there was a shrill sound of cars and regular horses' hooves in the distance. The sound of "crunch, crunch" gradually got closer and closer as time passed, and the original tranquility of the mountain forest was broken in an instant. Two carriages drove into the forest one after another, and a group of dozens of people wearing helmets and armor also entered the mountains and forests after the carriage, and the second carriage was tightly wrapped in pink silk on all sides, and a golden roc was outlined with gold thread on the silk, and the roof was decorated with luxurious satin, showing the prominence of the person who rode in this carriage. Behind the carriage were a dozen warriors riding white horses and wearing silver armor, and the white warrior at the front rode a high-headed horse of Li, dressed from head to toe in a white suit. Wearing a white helmet on his head, a white armor, bronzed skin on his neck, a white cloak, and combat boots, he was expressionless and always paid attention to his every move.
"Brave!" a pleasant call came from the luxurious carriage,
"What do you command, Madame?" asked the warrior with the tall steed at once as he drove to the luxurious carriage.
"How long will it take to get to the village?" asked a slightly anxious man from the carriage.
"Madam, you can reach the Hidden Forest Village through this woods, do you want to rest?" Yi Yong replied, and when he turned to direct the team to rest, there was a sound from inside the carriage.
"It's okay! It's not far from the village anyway, so there's no need to rest, let's rest again when you get to the village, you can retreat!" "Yes, ma'am!"
After half an hour of hurrying, with a long neighing of horses, Mrs. Lin and her party finally arrived in Yinlin Village, sitting in a carriage behind the two maids got off the carriage and came to the luxury carriage, lifted the curtain, and then came into view of a light blue green shirt, emerald pleated skirt, wearing a blue hookah, skin like a condensed fat like a quiet orchid, a woman with spring water in her eyes, and the maid hurriedly welcomed the woman out.
"Lin Han, the village chief of Xiayinlin Village, is here to welcome Mrs. Lin!" An old man and two servants were already standing in front of the tea shop, and the white-eyed old man stepped forward and said.
Besides, it's a family, and I am also a native of this place, so you are so polite, it's too outward!" The woman who got off the luxurious carriage immediately picked up the white-eyed old man, slightly angry and angry.
Since Mrs. married into the Lin family, every year today, Mrs. will return to Yinlin Village to worship the ancestors and stay in the village for two days. Over the years, it was the mediation between the lady and the government that the government reduced a large amount of taxes for the village, so that the village could gradually grow and become a large village within a radius of 100 miles. As the head of the village, I should do my best to be a landlord!" said the old man with white eyebrows respectfully.
"Hey, okay, okay! I got Village Chief Lin's wishes, and I won't take them as an example!" Mrs. Lin shook her head helplessly.
"Madame has been tired of traveling and traveling, and the old man has ordered someone to clean the room where Madame used to live in the past, does Madame go to rest now?" asked the white-eyed old man hurriedly.
"Well, I'm tired, so let's go and rest!" called the lady.
"Madame, what are your orders?" asked a warrior in silver-white armor and a white cloak as he approached Madame and lowered his hand.
"You go and settle down the luggage cart and horses, and go to rest after the incident, you don't have to follow me at night, and tomorrow we will go to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors." ”
"Yes, ma'am!" replied Yi Yong, with his hand down.
"Madame, please, I'll take you to the backyard!" said the white-eyed old man as he walked.
Mrs. Lin and her entourage walked through the hall of the inn, came to the backyard, passed through two rows of carved railings and jade corridors, what caught their eyes was a square courtyard, green bamboo was planted around the corridor and the house, looking at it gave people a quiet, elegant feeling, the plaque on the main house read: Cui Yun Xuan, three big characters, the hollow wooden door is carved with quite complex patterns, gently push the door open, an emerald green triangular table, paved with neat satin, a set of tea sets carved with plum blossoms on the table, the screen separates the room, behind the screen is a gauze curtain, the incense hall is hung above the ink painting of the three friends of the year, the whole room reveals a natural and exquisite beauty。 Looking at the room in front of her, Mrs. Lin showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Mrs. Lin, the old man rearranged the area around the original courtyard, I heard that Mrs. likes plum bamboo, this is the green bamboo in the courtyard that the old man asked people to transplant here from elsewhere, and named the courtyard: Lin Yunxuan, are you still satisfied?" The white-eyed old man looked groveling, but his eyes stayed on Mrs. Lin's face, carefully observing Mrs. Lin's face.
"That's right! Lin Yunxuan's elegance is also in line with this situation, Village Chief Lin has indeed put a lot of thought into it, Xiang'er! Go back and reward the people who decorate the small courtyard!" Mrs. Lin turned back to the maid on her right and said.
"Yes, ma'am!" replied the maid in green snow satin on her right, turning around and taking out a small cloth bag and handing it to the white-eyed old man. The white-eyed old man's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed to Mrs. Lin.
"Mrs. Xie's reward! Then the subordinates will not disturb your rest, you can just tell the people outside if you have something! You are so good to serve your wife, there must be no mistake! The subordinate will take your leave first! Madame, you stay!" The white-eyed old man finally showed a servile appearance, turned his head and told the maids a few words, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye to his wife.
"Village Chief Lin go slowly! Yu'er will send the village chief on my behalf!" Mrs. Lin instructed the close-fitting girl on the left, and the girl took the order to leave.
"Xiang'er! Let's go in, and the servants will bring the food (dinner) to the room. Xiang'er thoughtfully welcomed Mrs. into Cuiyun Xuan.
"Village Chief Lin, they have a heart!" said Madame with a sigh.
"Madam! I've been on the road for so long today, let's wash and comb first, and then rest! I'm going to worship my ancestors tomorrow, and I'm still tired. Xiang'er brought water from the courtyard and ran to cover the door with a smile.
"You girl, you are not serious! You are tired of sitting in the carriage, and you haven't let you ride a horse yet! Learn from Yu'er, no one has complained yet! You are complaining!" said Mrs. Lin with disgust......
When the sun set, Village Chief Lin came to visit his wife again and asked someone to bring food in advance, and discussed the details of tomorrow's ancestor worship with his wife in Cuiyun Xuan, and then left after a few words with his wife.
Black, gradually covering the entire sky, the stars in the sky poked their heads out of the night, and the night moisture slowly soaked in the air, exuding a faint sadness. Mrs. Lin looked up at the starry sky by the window and sighed deeply.
"Madam, this time I came out to relax, and it's not good for your body to be so worried and hurried!" Xiang'er said with a small pout.
"Yes, madam, the evening breeze is cool, be careful, it's better to rest early, and worship your ancestors tomorrow!" Yu'er came in from outside the door and put a cloak on Madame, and also helped Xiang'er persuade Madame.
"Alas! Now the world is not peaceful, the husband is taking care of the Lin family's property all the year round, and he has traveled long distances to purchase goods, this trade route, there are already families who are covetous, how can I not be worried! The most fundamental reason for the decline of the Li family is not because of the uneven distribution of profits, isn't this for us to see the Lin family and other families? The Li family, which is a powerful family, collapsed in three days, and according to the information from the Lin family, it was because the Li family offended the Wan family in Milin City in business, so the head of the Wan family took advantage of the Li family's whole family to go to Yunshan to worship their ancestors and sent people to ambush the Li family, and wiped out all the elites of the Li family who went to Yunshan with a thunderbolt. When the news came, my family and I were shocked. Because this time the Li family worships the ancestors, it is basically all elites, and even the immortal masters of the Li family are among them. Even if the Wan family sent a large number of people to attack the Li family by surprise, it was obviously impossible to destroy all the elites of the Li family in just three days. As a result, according to the news from the inside of the Wanjia, we learned that this time the Wanjia ambushed the Li family and invited the new immortal master of the Wanjia family!"
"Newly promoted Immortal Masters? Aren't these Immortal Masters usually not meddle in the affairs of mortals? Besides, the Li family, don't they also have a very powerful Immortal Master? Even if they are ambushed, how could tens of thousands of people in the Li family be wiped out so quickly?" Yu'er asked with a face full of fear.
"It's true, Li Wan's family has long had a lot of grievances, and Yiyong got the news from the internal spies of the Wanjia family. It is said that the new immortal master of the Wan family cultivated a new supernatural power, and when he fought against the immortal master of the Li family, the immortal master of the Li family was defeated, and he wanted to escape after being seriously injured, but he was caught up by the immortal master of the Wan family and killed with the power of thunder. The morale of the Li family was frustrated because of this, and the last fortress was soon broken by the brigade of the Wan family, and for a time the ancestral temple of the Li family in Yunshan was full of blood, and none of the descendants of the Li family could escape! The Li family of the three major families disappeared from the Lost Forest City. Mrs. Lin said solemnly, and the three of them were silent for a while.
"Fortunately, husband, take precautions, and have always maintained a good relationship with Wanjia. But everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, as one of the three major families in Lost Forest City, we don't have an immortal master in charge. Although there is the treasure of the town that the ancestor got by chance, no one in the clan can use it. As far as the current situation is concerned, the matter of worshipping the immortal master cannot be delayed any longer, and this matter must be settled as soon as possible after this ancestor worship...... Alas, I had to take one step at a time. What I am talking about today involves the immortal master, don't talk nonsense, otherwise the next one will be our Lin family. After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Lin said solemnly, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, madam!" Yu'er Xiang'er hurriedly bowed down and replied solemnly, hurriedly waiting for Mrs. Lin to wash and change clothes, and after a while, the candles in the kung fu hut were extinguished, and the small courtyard was quiet again.
Nothing was said all night.
