Chapter 11: The Lord of the House
After a while, the left guard who had just gone in to report came out again, but this time he didn't come out alone, and there was an old man who came out with him, the old man's short figure, chubby face, under the black brown shiny forehead, two curved eyebrows, a pair of slender eyes, and that face looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
"This is the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, you go with the housekeeper." The left guard who came out with the old man just now said to Long Zhiyuan.
Hearing the words of the left guard, Long Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Okay." Then he said to the old man: "Old man, I don't know what to call it"?
"The old man's name is Lin Han, you can call the old man Han Lao." Hearing Long Zhiyuan's words, Lin Han said to Long Zhiyuan.
"Okay, Han Lao". Hearing Lin Han's words, Long Zhiyuan nodded.
Seeing Long Zhiyuan's performance, Lin Han nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xiaoyou, come with the old man", and walked into the mansion after finishing speaking.
Looking at Lin Han's back, he hesitated for a moment, and then followed, since he decided to participate in the martial arts competition, there was nothing to hesitate.
Walk into the mansion and see that there is another Qiankun inside, along the pebble sheep intestine path all the way to the flowers and willows, but see the pavilions and pavilions around, the wild geese swept up a pool of clear blue in front of them, the willows along the coast are still around, and the willows hang down in the clear water to reflect the clear shadow. In the middle of the lake stands a pavilion, and the green tiles are flying. Look again, not far away of the rockery and strange rocks, paved with a rich flower-shaped red carpet corridor runs through the entire pavilion almost covered with carved lattice windows, elegant and exquisite.
"Old Han, where are we going?" Walking on the road, Long Zhiyuan asked Lin Han beside him curiously.
Hearing Long Zhiyuan's words, Lin Han glanced at him and replied, "Go to the conference hall."
Hearing Lin Han's words, Long Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, he knew the conference hall, as the name suggests, it was the place where the meeting was held, and what puzzled him was what he was doing in the conference hall.
"Go to the lord of the house". It seemed that he could see through what Long Zhiyuan was thinking, Lin Han said.
"Why did you go to see the mansion master?" Hearing Lin Han's words, Long Zhiyuan asked suspiciously. What kind of person is the mansion master, that is the strongest person in the Lin Mansion, as the strongest person in the Lin Mansion, his cultivation has at least reached the late stage of the Jindan realm, and it is also the only existence in the Snow Jade City, generally speaking, an existence like this is not seen by ordinary people, even if it is a mortal realm like Long Zhiyuan, he is not qualified, unless something major happens, for example, the martial arts competition held this time is presided over by the lord of the Lin Mansion himself, and those who come to report must be screened by the lord of the mansion.
Hearing Long Zhiyuan's words, Lin Han talked to Long Zhiyuan about why he went to see the mansion master and the rules of the martial arts competition.
Hearing Lin Han's words, Long Zhiyuan suddenly realized, it turned out that the purpose of seeing the mansion master was to select the right candidate, and the rules of the martial arts competition were also very simple, that is, only those who were above the sixfold physical realm could participate, that is to say, those who cultivated below the sixfold mortal physical realm were not eligible to participate.
Just when Long Zhiyuan and Lin Han were talking, they had already come to the door of a large hall, and they saw a black golden silk nanmu plaque suspended on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with three big characters "Conference Hall".
The golden roof of the palace and the red door, this antique style, make people feel solemn spontaneously.
"Xiaoyou, let's go in, the mansion master is inside," in front of the meeting door, Lin Han pointed to the palace door and said to Long Zhiyuan.
"Okay, I'll go in first." Hearing Lin Han's words, Long Zhiyuan said.
Hearing Long Zhiyuan's words, Lin Han nodded and said, "Well, let's go."
So Long Zhiyuan stepped forward and pushed open the door of the conference hall and walked in, only to see the cloud top sandalwood as the beam, the crystal jade wall as the lamp, the pearl as the curtain, and Fan Jin as the pillar base in the main hall. There is a huge pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, embedded with gold beads, chiseled the ground for the lotus, the flowers become the appearance of a five-stemmed lotus, and the petals are fresh and exquisite.
Long Zhiyuan seemed to sense something, and then his eyes stayed on a figure in the middle of the hall, this figure was facing away from Long Zhiyuan, and he couldn't see his face or age, but he could see from the back that this was a man.
"Here it is". Just as Long Zhiyuan was looking, a voice full of magic sounded in the hall, and then he saw this figure turn around and look at Long Zhiyuan.
The four eyes looked at Long Zhiyuan before he saw the face of the figure, this was a middle-aged man, gentle and handsome, wearing a silver crown with tied hair, a blue brocade robe, standing with a golden belt around his waist, wearing a pair of black boots, and an egg-sized piece of peiyu behind the boots. Cultivation is as unfathomable as the vast sea, and in addition, the whole person exudes an aura of dominating the world, which shows that the lord of the Lin Mansion is also an extraordinary figure.
At this time, Long Zhiyuan's breath was heavy, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans flowing down his face, wetting the white robe, and the middle-aged man opposite Long Zhiyuan glanced at Long Zhiyuan with sharp eyes, and a trace of aura emanated from his body, oppressing Long Zhiyuan as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.
"Not bad". Just when Long Zhiyuan was about to lose his support, the voice of magic power sounded in the hall again, and at the same time, the trace of aura that emanated also disappeared.
"Whew~" When the breath disappeared, Long Zhiyuan gasped and almost fell to the ground, because he knew very well in his heart that this should be the test of the mansion master in front of him, if he couldn't hold on to the ground at this time, then the test would fail, and at the same time, he might lose his qualification, so he almost failed, you must know that this is the coercion of Lin Batian, the lord of the Lin Mansion, even if the master of the Jindan Realm may not be able to hold on.
"Little friend, you are the first to pass the test of the master of this mansion," Seeing Long Zhiyuan at this time, Lin Batian said to Long Zhiyuan with an appreciative look on his face.
Hearing Lin Batian's words, Long Zhiyuan's eyes moved, and he said incredulously: "Lord of the Mansion, you mean that I am the only one who has passed the test." In his imagination, there must be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people who come to participate in the martial arts competition, after all, the population of a snow jade city is still very large, at least there are millions of people, and the people who come to participate in the competition are all from snow jade city, and the people who come to participate in the martial arts competition in snow jade city are just civilians and ordinary people with no background, as for those powerful people with backgrounds, there is no need to participate, and they can't look down on it at all, after all, their background is not weaker than Lin Mansion.
"That's right, you're the only one who can pass the test." Seeing Long Zhiyuan's incredible expression, Lin Batian nodded affirmatively and said. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Long Zhiyuan and didn't explain too much, after all, with his identity, it was already very good to be able to talk to Long Zhiyuan a lot, if it was normal times, Long Zhiyuan would not be qualified to see him, let alone talk to him, this is the reason why strength determines everything.
