Chapter 1: Homecoming
Chapter 1: Homecoming
At the moment of great attention, Lin Xi did not choose to enjoy such an honor together, because, in his heart, it is enough for him to be in the limelight now, and he will definitely become the target of public criticism when he is in the limelight.
The battle for the heir has ended, everything he needs to do has been completed, and the most important thing next is the battle of Zi Chengzong's Daozi, and for him, this is a promise he has promised before, and he must complete it.
To be honest, according to Lin Xi's thoughts, the exercises and all the efforts he has cultivated for such a long time are actually for the sake of that Daozi dispute.
At the beginning, it was because of the elixir that the sister of Tantai needed, and then because of his commitment to his master, whether in his previous life or now, Lin Xi regarded the promise as extremely important, as long as it was something he promised, it was never unfinished.
He knew very well that during this period of time, he was in the limelight for a while, and if he continued, after Zi Chengzong, he might become the real favorite to win the championship, but he would also become the target of public criticism.
Compared with the battle for succession, the scale of Zi Chengzong's battle for the Daozi will not be so strong, but it is definitely more bloody and cruel than the battle for succession.
If you talk about some things in itself, those so-called young masters of Zi Chengzong may not be much better than the Great Song royal family, after all, no matter what Zi Chengzong says, he also belongs to the Great Song Dynasty.
But in terms of combat effectiveness alone, the self-proclaimed Tianjiao is not inferior to the Tianjiao of the Great Song Dynasty royal family, and is even much stronger than the Great Song royal family.
There is still half a year to go before the battle for that Daozi, for Lin Xi, this is an opportunity in his life, and he will fulfill his promise.
Before that, the direction he was moving in was not Zi Chengzong, but Yangcheng, the place where he was born and raised.
He had hardly returned to his family for more than two years, which was something that had never happened to Lin Xi before, and he now wanted to see his father, his family, and the city where he had always grown up.
Anyway, in this life, this Yangcheng is his home and the place where he grew up, and his feelings for Yangcheng are even stronger than those for the Great Song Dynasty.
After half a month's journey, Lin Xi didn't have an entourage by his side, and even the horses were the simplest means of transportation he bought with his own money, he didn't want to attract attention, and he didn't want to make any moths at this time.
You know, even if the major sects don't dare to target themselves now, but it's not impossible to really start in secret, the sect said, those sects of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect still have some hatred for themselves, and they won't do it to themselves under the premise of the overall situation, but if they really give them a chance, they will probably not hesitate, as long as they get rid of all their guilt afterwards, then what's the matter.
Of course, what they are afraid of is Lin Xi's strength, but what they are even more afraid of is Zi Chengzong, the first sect of the Great Song Dynasty, and only this sect can make the three major sects really dare not completely start and throw a mouse.
Yangcheng is still the same Yangcheng, it looks no different from before, there are all kinds of goods sellers on the noisy streets, and they all look so happy, so full of yearning for life.
This is the most basic situation in Yangcheng since it has always been, the Lin family has been very kind to the ordinary people since they controlled Yangcheng, of course, the entire Yangcheng, the Lin family is an unattainable existence, but the people at the bottom do not miss the benefits of the Xiao family.
This is one of the cheapest places in the nearby city to collect taxes, just that the tax customized by the Great Song Dynasty is not even more than one percent, compared to other families, this entire Yangcheng can be said to be really a blessed land for the people.
Of course, the general public is very yearning for life, but the monk's ability to survive in Yangcheng is much worse, in the eyes of many people, the monk is higher than the ordinary human existence, they are all born higher than others, but in this Yangcheng, the status is similar to the ordinary people, and they have to rely on their own efforts to be able to support themselves, in this regard, the Lin family is not likable.
After all, it is a very difficult thing to divide the interests of the monks among the people, and the Lin family can do it, and how many things they have sacrificed are also unknown to many people.
At least the Lin family is not wealthy in this family, and this has always been a consensus.
Of course, it was just that the monks from outside were a little uncomfortable, but the local monks in Yangcheng were extremely loyal to the Lin family, because they not only treated the monks equally, but also treated their own family and family.
Ordinary people don't have to be slaves of monks, this is something that many people in the city don't even dare to think about, and in the entire Great Song Dynasty, only Yangcheng has really done it.
Seeing the knowing smiles of many ordinary people, and the children playing wantonly on the reception, Lin Xi's heart began to be more or less happy.
Yangcheng is still the same Yangcheng, and under his father's governance, there is still that kind of policy, so that the entire city and the surrounding civilians have a ladder to rise, and also have a stable living environment that ordinary people don't even dare to think about.
Back then, Lin Fengtao said: "I don't want the family to carry forward my own body, but I want all the people under the rule to have a job that is enough to support themselves, and for these, even if they sacrifice their lives, they must do it." ”
The designation of its own policy met the opposition of the entire Lin family and all the surrounding monks, but Lin Fengtao still showed no signs of stagnation, and in this Yangcheng and the surrounding areas, he became a well-known existence that everyone admired.
In his eyes, the common people are the greatest foundation in the world, and any monk comes from the common people, and if he treats them as exploiters, sooner or later, the counterattack of these people will be like a surging river.
It is undeniable that Lin Fengtao is an extremely smart person, and it is precisely because of this that he can see the essence of things, so there is the current Xiao family, the current strong family.
Lin Xi walked step by step, feeling quite emotional in his heart, he had not returned to the family for more than two years, and there were not many people in the whole Yangcheng who still knew him, thinking that he was only sixteen when he walked out of Yangcheng, but this year, he is already a genuine eighteen years old, an adult.
According to the rules of the family, if he followed the general trajectory now, he would even start to manage the family industry in a decentralized place, but unfortunately, he is now a master of Zi Chengzong, and it is impossible for him to return to the family to live that ordinary life.
The monk family, the Lin family has never been strong, and there are even countless families in this area that are much stronger than the Lin family.
But if you want to talk about the most peaceful family and the most popular among the people, it must be the Xiao family, because they have a good family leader, a group of clansmen who don't like to fight very much.
Such a situation, even in the Great Song Dynasty and Nanxiaotian, can be said to be very rare, either they don't look down on those so-called interests, but they really begin to detach themselves from the world, Lin Xi has never understood why, and only now, in his heart, he is more or less beginning to understand something.
Some clans, some people, are not as simple as they seem on the surface, Lin Xi knew about it, but he didn't thoroughly investigate it at this moment.
After all, no matter what the Lin family becomes, it is his own family, his own Lin family, he believes that if the Lin family really has secrets, when he can be on his own, the family, his father, will definitely tell him everything, because they are father and son, and they are also members of the Lin family.
The drizzle actually landed in Yangcheng without warning at this moment, and a wave of cold began to spread to Lin Xi's body.
It stands to reason that with his current cultivation, this drizzle could not make him feel cold at all, but at this moment, he couldn't help but shiver, and muttered with some confusion: "What's the matter." ”
For Lin Xi, today is the day to return to the family, even though there are many conjectures in my heart, but that sweetness, that kind of memory can never be erased.
He never felt that he would always be the Sword Saint in his previous life, and in his heart, since merging with the current Lin Xi, both his soul and body had become a completely new person.
The identity of the Lin family is himself, and in the same way, if there is anything that can make him forget everything in his previous life, Lin Xi will definitely make a choice without hesitation.
Because, now, he has begun to remember such a life and such a struggle.
For the Lin family, today is also a very special day.
Early in the morning, the head of the family called several elders to talk for a while, but no one knew what to say, and no one knew why when the elders came out, their eyes were full of solemnity.
After all the orders were completed, Lin Fengtao disappeared into the family, no one knew where he went, and Lin Fengtao was lost in the entire Yangcheng.
The cave is located in a very secret place in the mountain behind the Lin family.
There was not a single monk soldier guarding it, not even a human being.
Perennial hurricanes ordered the entrance to the cave not even to be found.
Lin Fengtao, who had finished talking secretly, stood at the entrance of the cave for about a dozen breaths, and one dodged, and then he did not enter the hurricane.
Before approaching, a pair of eyes, solemn as if they were not their own, looked cold and shining, making people can't believe that they could be sent out by a person at the peak of Ning Dan
