Chapter 25: Storytelling
"Lin Yan, what is the Spirit Dao, and how do you cultivate it?"
Lin Tianxiong is not an ordinary person of the Lin family, nor is he a young man like Lin Long who is easily carried away by the battle of will, when he saw Lin Yan for the first time, he obviously felt that this young man was not the Lin Yan he knew in the past at all, the whole person has undergone significant changes in both temperament and behavior, and even faintly, he feels that the young man in front of him does have a special energy fluctuation, although it is very vague, but it is real, and it is not the Yuan Force fluctuation that he is familiar with, which makes him have to take it seriously.
"Patriarch, as we all know, the cultivation of martial arts is a cultivation method that cultivates into the yuan power by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, while the spiritual path is completely different, because the spiritual path cultivation is a way to cultivate the spiritual power by absorbing the spiritual energy of the stars, and the conditions required for cultivating the spiritual path are also different from those of the martial arts, and there is no need for martial arts at all. Lin Yan explained unhurriedly.
"Then how exactly did you cultivate?" Lin Tianxiong seemed to begin to approve of what Lin Yan said, or rather, he began to have a slight interest in the spiritual path that Lin Yan preached.
"Of course, it's to absorb the spiritual power of the stars, otherwise how can I cultivate the spiritual power!" Lin Yan just smiled faintly, he didn't plan to explain the cultivation of the spiritual path in depth, let alone mention the "star bead", for him, it was enough to fool the other party.
"Then can you prove it?" Lin Tianxiong was obviously dissatisfied with Lin Yan's answer.
"The facts are already clear, I have already cultivated spiritual power, and I have already defeated Lin Xu through spiritual power, using the means of spiritual dao, how can I prove it?" Lin Yan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"Tell me how you learned about Lingdao cultivation, because we have never heard of Lingdao cultivation. Before Lin Tianxiong could speak, an elder on the side said eagerly, it seemed that the others were also quite curious about spiritual path cultivation.
"Yes, all of us don't know that there is still a cultivation method of Spirit Dao in this world, which is even unheard of, but you, a yellow-mouthed child, not only know, but also successfully cultivated, this is too unreasonable, you must give us a reasonable explanation. ”
Many people also kept nodding their heads, and they all looked at Lin Yan with suspicious eyes, and at the same time, they were all looking forward to how he would answer.
Lin Mengqi frowned, thoughtful, unlike others, she knew a lot more about Lin Yan than others, Lin Yan in the past definitely did not have the bearing he has now, let alone the eloquence he has now.
She found that the current Lin Yan was like two people, and even made her feel extremely strange!
"It seems that during this time, something unknown must have happened to him, or rather, there is an unknown secret in him that has caused such a drastic change in him!
At this moment, she seemed to realize something, and it made her interested in Lin Yan again.
Lin Yan didn't pay attention to Lin Mengqi, and he didn't care what she would think, because he had to deal with the current trouble.
He glanced around, looking at the different expressions of the people, many of them were full of anticipation, and he also understood that this level would not be too easy to pass today, but he was also prepared, so he pretended to be helpless and began to tell a story.
"Well, since you want me to explain, I'll tell you. That was before I got hurt......"
Seeing that Lin Yan was no longer hiding, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and they began to listen carefully one by one......
"Actually, I was able to cultivate myself a long time ago, at that time, whenever I tried to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to cultivate, I was never able to do so, but instead a very strange energy entered my body......
"Since I didn't know what that energy was at the time, and there was no adverse reaction to it after it entered the body, I didn't take it seriously, so I ignored it for a long time......
"It can be said that I myself never realized that I was not only able to cultivate, but also to cultivate spiritual power...... Until a little over a month ago, when I was out going out, I met a sloppy old man on the street......"
At this time, Lin Yan began to give full play to his talent for storytelling, and the people around him were also attentive, and their thoughts completely followed him, and they were deeply immersed in the story.
"It was an old man who looked almost like Hanako, with unkempt hair, a scruffy beard, and a black face, and he was wearing clothes that could only be described as rags, and he exuded a choking stench......"
Lin Yan's description of the old man's appearance is simply a matter of great care.
"Ahh
Seeing the little girl's performance like this, Lin Yan not only did not have a sense of guilt for coaxing the little girl, but a trace of smugness flashed in his eyes. At the same time, he also looked at the expressions of the others, and found that they all couldn't help but show a trace of disgust.
Lin Yan naturally understood that what they hated was not themselves, but the so-called "old name Hanako", and he understood that many people had begun to believe the stories they told at this moment.
"That old fellow was very dirty, so when I saw him, I turned and left, and who knows, he had been secretly following me, and suddenly appeared in a ruin!" he sighed, and continued his sermon, his tone rather helpless, as if everything was true.
I have to admire his acting talent, his acting skills are perfect at the moment, and he has reached the level of an actor!
"Then is he a bad person?" Jiang Lingsha, who had been listening carefully to the story, suddenly exclaimed again, and before she knew it, she was already there, as if she had encountered this kind of thing herself.
Isn't it just a little girl, and many other people have the same question in their eyes.
Noticing this, Lin Yan became more and more proud, and even had an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, and he himself seemed to have entered the play, as if everything was true, "Fortunately, although the old guy suddenly appeared and startled me, he didn't do anything to me, and after I was nervous, I asked him, 'You stinky old man, why do you keep following me?'"
"The old guy suddenly said to me inexplicably, 'Young man, the old man didn't want to be unfavorable to you, but the old man found that you have excellent bones and bones, and you are a cultivation wizard like no other, so he intends to take you as an apprentice. I was immediately overwhelmed by that. ”
"What? Brother Lin Yan, that sloppy old man wants to take you as an apprentice? Then how did you answer him?" The little girl was curious and worried, staring at Lin Yan with wide eyes, and looking forward to the story behind.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" Then, Lin Yan continued to describe...... Until he spoke of the old man who was going to take him as a disciple.
"Brother Lin Yan, did you worship him as a teacher in the end?" Hearing this, Jiang Lingsha asked eagerly. And the others also cast inquiring looks, and it was obvious that they were all very concerned about this issue.
"No!" Lin Yan ignored the others, just shook his head at the little girl, "When I understood what the spiritual path was, I really wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he said that I hadn't reached his standard for accepting apprentices, and that I was only qualified to go to him after reaching the True Gang Realm." However, he also taught me a little bit of spiritual means, that is, the spiritual technique that I defeated Lin Xu. ”
"That's right...... Brother Lin Yan, that old man must be a mysterious master, you are so lucky to meet him! And I have always thought that Brother Lin Yan must be a genius, I didn't expect to have such a good talent, Lingsha is really happy!" Jiang Lingsha was envious and happy, to be honest, she hoped that Lin Yan could cultivate more than anyone else.
Seeing the little girl trust herself so much, Lin Yan's heart was quite warm, and at the same time moved, although he just told a fictional story, but for the little girl, it was also a white lie, and he would not have any psychological baggage.
Of course, for the others, he is completely coaxing, and he does not have the slightest burden.
When telling this story, it is actually full of loopholes, and many details can't stand scrutiny, and even he can't believe it, but the matter has come to this point, and it can only be like this, anyway, similar to this kind of thing, he has heard a lot in his previous life, and every one of them seems to be mysterious, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
It is enough to make up a story as long as he can justify himself and be able to fool the past, but as for whether it is true or false, who can verify it? This is also where he has no fear.
In addition, he also considered that at this time, he must also make up such a mysterious sloppy old man.
First of all, it is known that he was seriously injured by the third prince a month ago, and his father was also captured by him...... If he really has a master who is a master outside the world, but he doesn't stand up for him at this time, or even save himself in the first place, then this lie will be self-defeating.
If it was a mysterious beggar in rags, and he didn't say that the other party took him as an apprentice, and then the old beggar left again, the question could be avoided.
Secondly, he now had to face the patriarch and several elders of the Lin family, and he wanted to make them believe as much as possible that there was indeed such a mysterious old beggar, and he had told himself about the knowledge of the spiritual way, so that he could explain how he understood the spiritual way.
"Then where is the old beggar you said now?" At this moment, Lin Tianxiong suddenly asked, when listening to Lin Yan tell this story, he always frowned slightly, he felt that this story was a bit mysterious, so he planned to test it.
"I'd like to know it myself. Lin Yan showed a look of embarrassment, and at the same time, he also lightly resolved the other party's questioning in one sentence.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Tianxiong was not happy and asked sharply.
"The simple meaning is that I don't know where his old man is, and I don't even know if he'll show up. And some time ago, he was the one who took me away and healed me. Lin Yan shrugged, and with one sentence, he solved the trouble of why he disappeared for a month.
In fact, the more he said this, the more mysterious the "old man" became, and at the same time made these listeners more suspicious and therefore more apprehensive, and that was the effect he wanted!
