Chapter 9: Sloppy
Lin Mansion, Conference Hall.
The high-level officials of the Forest Mansion all gathered here, and the atmosphere seemed very dull.
Over the years, Lin Mu's performance has indeed been disappointing, but the identity of the descendants involves the foundation of the Lin Mansion and the inheritance of the family, and it is by no means said that it can be banned.
Even if Lin Zheng is now in control of the Lin Mansion, he can't make decisions privately, and he must hold a meeting to make decisions, otherwise he will definitely be opposed by the elders.
"Lin Mu is here. Suddenly, a sound broke the stagnant atmosphere, and everyone in the hall looked different and turned their eyes to the door.
The person who spoke was Lin Anfu, the chief housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, and next to Lin Anfu, Lin Mu, the subject of their discussion, stood there expressionlessly.
"Hey, Lin Mu, do you know why I called you?"
In the first place, a middle-aged man with a slightly dark complexion and no anger and self-esteem, sighed.
"I don't know what I'm going to do. Lin Mu looked at him indifferently.
His second uncle is really capable of pretending, today's incident was convened and initiated by him, but he just made such a compassionate appearance, and those who didn't know were really deceived by him.
"Presumptuous, what kind of attitude do you have? Hall Master Lin is not only the current head of the Lin Mansion, but also your second uncle, is there anyone like you who speaks to your elders like this?"
There was no need for Lin Zheng to be angry, and soon an elder slammed the table and shouted at Lin Mu.
Lin Zheng is the master of the Wuying Hall of the Lin Mansion.
The Martial Arts Hall is the most important institution in the family, and it can promote and dispatch all the warriors who belong to the family.
This position has always been held by the patriarch heir, and it was previously held by Lin Nan, but after Lin Nan disappeared, this position fell into the hands of Lin Zheng.
"I think it's you who are presumptuous, although grandpa has been in retreat for many years, when did the second uncle become a family member?"
Lin Mu's eyes were cold, this is the fourth elder of the family, saying that he is an elder, he is actually Lin Zheng's lackey.
"Little brute. ”
The four elders didn't expect that they didn't check for a while, and they were caught by Lin Mu, but what was even more unexpected was that Lin Mu dared to talk back, and said angrily: "Master Lin, elders, for such a little beast who has no respect for the elders and cannot be educated, I think there is no need to discuss it anymore, and he will be directly banned from his identity as a descendant." ”
"Scold me for being a little brute?" Lin Mu sneered, "If I am a little brute, then what is my grandfather and all the elders of the Lin family here?" Heh, everyone, I think that this old dog must have been bought by the enemy, otherwise how could I insult my Lin family so heartbreakingly?"
"You ......" The Fourth Elder's face turned red, almost spurting blood.
"Okay, Lin Mu, what's the use of learning some lip sync, no wonder your cultivation has never grown. ”
Lin Zheng waved his hand and didn't let Lin Mu continue, otherwise the atmosphere that had been carefully created would be completely destroyed.
As he spoke, he paused, and his voice turned low, "My Lin family has been inherited for many years, and all the descendants are the core, so I shouldn't have held this meeting in the first place." However, you are so unlucky, all these years of wasted time, it is just a waste of cultivation resources, I turn a blind eye and always endure it. ”
"How did you expect that blind connivance, in exchange for your deeper depravity, in the assessment of Lingfeng Academy, you actually resorted to the means of using poison to sneak attack, losing the face of my Lin family. If a family wants to continue, after all, it must talk about fairness and shame, and continue to let you be the descendants of my Lin family, and my Lin family will only become the laughing stock of Xichuan City. ”
"To be a man, you must know how to be grateful, the family has cultivated you for more than ten years, and you have done your best, so hand over the title deed in your hand as soon as possible. The four elders and other high-ranking officials immediately persecuted.
The descendants of the Lin family are not just a name, each descendant has a certain share of the title deed. And the title deed of Lin Mu was left by Lin Nan, and it is definitely a huge industry.
Although the properties on these land deeds have been controlled by Lin Zheng, and the income has been cut off, as long as he does not get the land deeds, Lin Zheng will never be able to rightfully own these properties.
"Haha, you've been rambling here for a long time, just for my title deed, what do you say so high-sounding. ”
Lin Mu laughed sarcastically and looked at the elders coldly, "Even, if you didn't have these title deeds in your hands, I'm afraid you wouldn't even bother to discuss them, and you would directly ban my identity, right?"
"It's a bit too much. ”
A powerful martial force poured out from Lin Zheng's body and pressed hard against Lin Mu.
The coercion of a martial artist comes from the spiritual power in his body, and the resonance with the surrounding environment, Lin Zheng is a seventh-order martial artist, even if he is a peak martial artist, he may not be able to withstand his coercion.
Suddenly, many elders looked at Lin Mu with the eyes of watching a good show.
"What's the matter? If you can't stand up to the truth, you're going to force it?"
Lin Muyi was not afraid, he might have suffered a big loss before, but now his soul has fused with the spiritual fragments of the teacher, how can he be afraid of the coercion of a martial artist.
"Huh?"
Lin Zheng's eyes flashed with a faint cold light, and his heart was shocked, "These days, there have been rumors that this little evil obstacle has improved its strength and defeated Lin Zhaojun, I still don't believe it, now it seems that it is really possible, is it possible that the bloodline of this little evil obstacle has awakened?"
In the Lingwu Continent, in addition to the martial arts qualifications, there is also a bloodline talent, and people with martial arts bloodlines, even if the martial arts qualifications are poor, can often become a wizard in a certain martial arts field.
Lin Mu's father, Lin Nan, has Cangyan blood, so he can surpass the two eldest brothers in front of him and become the young patriarch. And Lin Mu, as Lin Nan's son, is hard to guarantee whether he will inherit Lin Nan's bloodline.
Because of this, although Lin Mu's performance over the years has been very wasteful, he still has not stopped suppressing Lin Mu, which stems from this jealousy.
"If that's the case, there's no way to leave this little obstacle behind. ”
Lin Zheng had a murderous intent in his heart, and on the surface, he became more and more silent, and said coldly: "If you want to be reasonable, then I will reason with you." ”
"I won't say much about your previous performance, this Lingfeng Academy assessment, you used poison on people in front of everyone, causing Lingfeng Academy to be angry, I'm afraid my Lin family will inevitably be affected, and after making such a big mistake, you still have the face to speak?"
"Ridiculous, there is no exact investigation, just because Gao Jianfeng said that I was poisoned, you are so arbitrary?" Lin Mu's eyes showed coldness, "Lingfeng Academy is just that, after all, you are outsiders, but what about you, all of you are my nominal elders, and you are the same as outsiders?"
"If it were someone else, we wouldn't think so, but it's not surprising that you waste material, no matter what you do. ”
The Four Elders sneered.
"Waste wood, is this the reason why you convicted me?" Although Lin Mu had long lost hope for these people, he still felt cold when he heard such words.
"We don't condemn you, we just feel that your words and deeds are not worthy of the status of a descendant. ”
"As long as you hand over the title deed, you will still be a child of the Lin Mansion in the future, if you know that you are motivated in the future, you will still have the opportunity to become a descendant again. ”
The vast majority of the elders expressed their support.
Only the Seventh Elder said with a calm face, "This is too hasty, isn't it?"
Are these people really their own elders?
Lin Mu looked at Lin Zheng and the others and didn't speak anymore.
"Looks like you're not convinced. Lin Zheng's face was majestic, "Well, for the sake of the four elders, I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, lest you say that I am arbitrary." ”
"What chance?" Lin Mu laughed, he never thought that Lin Zheng would have any good intentions.
"The old man who controls the beast has recently cultivated a batch of new demon beasts, and there is a shortage of demon warriors, this is a great opportunity for the Lin family to befriend the old man of the beast, and it just so happens that the candidate has not yet been determined, so you will participate on behalf of the family. Lin Zheng said slowly.
"What a great opportunity, second uncle, are you really my second uncle?" Lin Mu's heart was cold, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.
The old man who controls the beast is a famous warrior in Xichuan City, and it is said that his strength is no less than the ninth order of the martial artist, and more importantly, he is good at controlling demon beasts, so that demon beasts can fight for themselves, and one person is equivalent to a small army.
Every year, the old man of the beast will cultivate a new little demon, which requires special martial apprentices to fight the little demon, test the strength of the demon beast, and help the old man of the beast to select the powerful little demon.
Demon beasts are divided into small demons and big demons, the small demons are equivalent to human warriors, and the big demons are equivalent to warriors.
However, most of the demon beasts are born with strong physiques, especially in the early stage, they have a huge advantage, and they completely suppress humans at the same level, so don't look at the little demon and other martial disciples, in fact, they are a great threat to the martial artists.
However, in order to meet the strength of the little demon, the old man who controls the beast does not allow the martial artist to come, because the strength of the martial artist is too strong, and he can't test the strength of the newborn demon at all.
The major families know that it is extremely dangerous to send people to test demon warriors, but in order to befriend the powerful beast control old man, they still keep sending their own martial apprentices every year.
"Demon test?" the Seventh Elder frowned, "Last year, the people my Lin family sent to participate in the demon test experiment were sixth-order martial disciples, and they all died later, so wouldn't it be too dangerous for Lin Mu to go?"
"I don't like to hear what the Seventh Elder says. The four elders said in a strange manner, "Could it be that Lin Mu's life is his life, and the life of his side disciples is not his life?"
The Seven Elders' faces changed, and they didn't know how to refute it, the lives of the side disciples were of course not as important as the descendants of the line, but this kind of thing was just a default rule, which could be taken to heart, but it could never be said.
"Thank you, Seventh Elder. ”
Lin Mu still has a good impression of these seven elders, this person is a staunch supporter of his father when he was in the family, and he is the only one, and he has never taken refuge in Erbo Lin Zheng.
"Lin Mu, you don't have to be afraid, today's incident is too ridiculous, even if I risk this life, I won't let them succeed. The Seventh Elder said angrily.
Lin Mu shook his head and said lightly, "When?"
"Two days later. The four elders smiled.
"Okay, I'll go. Lin Mu agreed.
Afraid?
Why should I be afraid, it's too late to be happy.
The first absolute of the "Nine Absolute True Scriptures", the Northern Immortal, is to improve his cultivation by devouring his vitality, and he just can't find a suitable opportunity, and now Lin Zheng is calculating this time, although it is very dangerous, but it is not a good opportunity.
Try the demon warriors, you can justifiably and demon **, even if you kill the demon beast, no one blames, because the dead demon beast can only show that the demon beast is too weak.
"Never. The Seventh Elder's face changed drastically.
The four elders and the others laughed, feeling that Lin Mu had given in.
"Well, since Lin Mu himself agreed, then let's decide. Lin Zheng had a smile in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to the words of the Seventh Elder at all.
"Lin Mu, wait. ”
As soon as Lin Mu came out of the conference hall, the voice of the Seven Elders came from behind.
"Seven Elders. ”
Stopping, Lin Mu looked very respectful, he remembered the other party's help before.
The Seventh Elder sighed, but he knew that the things decided at the clan meeting could not be changed, and it would be useless to say anything more, so he said, "What are you going to do in the next two days?"
Lin Mu shook his head: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't make any preparations at all. ”
"You don't have a weapon yet, do you?" the Seventh Elder said.
"Seventh Elder, what do you mean?" Lin Mu listened, and his heart moved.
"In two days, it's too late to practice martial arts, but it's just right to get familiar with weapons and cultivate a sense of hand. The Seventh Elder patted Lin Mu on the shoulder, "Let's go, go to the Hidden Soldier Pavilion, I can't interfere in other places, this Hidden Soldier Pavilion I still have a role to say." ”
The person in charge of the Tibetan Arsenal, the seventh elder.
"Good. ”
Lin Mu secretly felt warm, and with a weapon, he had a little more confidence in saving his life.
With the Seven Elders leading the way in front, Lin Mu easily entered the Tibetan Soldier Pavilion.
"Lin Mu, you go in and choose by yourself, don't worry, you must choose the weapon that suits you. ”
The Seven Elders said patiently.
"I will. ”
Thinking that he would be able to have his own weapon immediately, Lin Mu was also quite excited in his heart.
The Pavilion has two floors.
The first layer is the low-grade, middle-grade and high-grade weapons, while the second layer is the yellow-rank weapons, and there are even rumors that there are spiritual weapons.
Yellow-rank weapons and spiritual weapons were too precious, Lin Mu was naturally not qualified to choose them, and the family would not allow them.
If you don't have enough strength, but you have high-level weapons, you will inevitably attract the covetousness of the strong.
At this time, there were also children of other families in the Hidden Soldiers Pavilion, but Lin Mu didn't care about them, his eyes were attracted by the dazzling array of weapons.
"Isn't this Lin Mu's waste?"
Lin Mu is definitely famous in the Lin family, although it is notorious, but it is true that everyone knows it, no one knows it, and these children of the family recognize him at a glance.
"Hahaha, Lin Mu, don't you like the Poison Dao Sect Master? A fourth-order martial artist teased.
Lin Mu glanced at them lightly, maybe not every one of these martial artists he knew, but this fourth-order martial artist and his companions were very familiar.
The two are the children of the family, named Lin Gang and Lin Yun, Lin Yun was not impressed, but Lin Gang humiliated him before.
But now, he didn't pay attention to these people, and quickly withdrew his gaze, and looked intently at the weapons around him.
"What weapon should I use?"
Constantly observing and walking in front of the various weapon racks, Lin Mu was a little undecided.
Sword?
Known as the "King of a Hundred Soldiers" and "the Instrument of the Saint", he is supreme and noble, but Lin Mu does not have that kind of heart-warming feeling.
Gentleman?
He never didn't think of himself as such a person.
Gun?
The king of the army, known for his domineering and mighty, Lin Mu also felt that it was not suitable for him.
Compared with domineering, he yearns for lightness, carelessness, and unrestrainedness.
Knife?
The prestige is not under the sword, but it still seems to be lacking.
It wasn't until his footsteps inadvertently stopped on the weapon rack with flying knives that Lin Mu's eyes lit up.
A flying knife shaped like a dragon and as thin as a cicada's wings inexplicably appeared in his mind.
