Chapter 12: The Spiritual Root is Broken

Outside the gate of the Su Mansion, the housekeeper Fu Bo stood at the door waiting for Su Qianqian and Tang Lin. Seeing a few people coming, Fu Bo greeted him, and said with a kind smile: "Miss, son, the lord and the guests have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Seeing Fu Bo waiting at the door, Tang Lin asked puzzledly, "Uncle Fu, have you been waiting for us here, or did you just come out and happened to meet us!"

Fu Bo smiled: "Daoist Li just said that you are coming, so I came here to wait!"

After listening to Fu Bo's words, Tang Lin was a little curious about Li Daochang in his heart, he said that his father-in-law would adopt him, and today he predicted the time of our arrival, he is really a strange person.

Fu Bo took Tang Lin and Su Qianqian to the hall, and the little Lihuo Purple Winged Lion on the side saw such a magnificent courtyard for the first time, and happily ran around in the courtyard.

"Xiaozi, be well-behaved, don't run around, otherwise I won't let you eat today. Tang Lin shouted at the little Flame Purple Winged Lion running around.

Hearing Tang Lin say that he was not allowed to eat, Xiao Lihuo Purple Winged Lion instantly stopped and followed behind Tang Lin's ass in frustration.

Looking at the appearance of Xiao Lihuo Purple Winged Lion, Su Qianqian smiled and said, "Brother, Xiao Zi has become a foodie with you." ”

Tang Lin said helplessly: "He was originally okay. ”

Su Dingfang in the hall saw the two of them coming back, got up to greet them, and said with a hearty smile: "Haha, Lin'er, Qianqian, you are back, I miss my father." ”

"Father-in-law, father," Tang Lin and Su Qianqian said in unison.

"Hey, what is this?" Su Dingfang saw that Xiao Lihuo's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "What a mighty lion." ”

"This lion is indeed extraordinary, and he will have great achievements in the future. Li Wenchang on the side stroked his beard and said.

The little Lihuo Purple Winged Lion heard that someone praised himself again.

"Lin'er, this is Chief Li Wenchang. Su Dingfang said to Tang Lin.

Li Wenchang was wearing a plain robe, holding a whisk in his hand, his thin face, his black hair was tied up and passed through with a wooden hairpin, and his beard fluttered down to his chest, looking like a fairy wind bone.

"I've seen Uncle Lee. Tang Lin made a polite gesture.

"Well said!" Li Wenchang also replied with a Taoist salute.

Then Su Dingfang introduced another person to Tang Lin and said: "This is my old friend, Gonggong Liu in the palace, Gonggong Liu heard that I received a righteous son, and he wanted to come to see you for a long time, so I have to come to see you thousands of miles away today." ”

Without waiting for Tang Lin to say hello, Gonggong Liu grabbed Tang Lin's hand cordially, and said with a smile on his face: "Good boy, our family and your father-in-law are close friends, I am very happy to hear that he received a righteous son, our family did not come empty-handed this time, and brought you a meeting gift!" After speaking, Gonggong Liu took out a sandalwood box one and a half feet long and handed it to Tang Lin.

"Open it up and take a look!"

Tang Lin opened the sandalwood box, and what caught his eye was a red-gold quaint little sword, the small sword was more than a foot long, and it was embroidered with mountains and forests, birds and beasts, which looked very extraordinary.

Seeing this sword, Tang Lin was very pleased, and his affection for this enthusiastic father-in-law Liu was greatly increased, and he also made a gesture and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu." ”

"Lao Liu, I didn't expect you to be so painful to cut your love, this Zhiqiu I remember that it was at war with the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Great Xia Kingdom was defeated by our Chuyang Dynasty, and I used this sword to sign a peace treaty with five other famous swords plus the territory of twenty states. The emperor is very fond of these six famous swords! You have made great contributions to the royal family, and the emperor has rewarded you with this sword, but today you gave it to my son casually. Su Dingfang patted Gonggong Liu's shoulder and said.

"Since ancient times, the sword has been given to heroes, this Zhiqiu is in my hands, and it can only be used to make an ornament, today we will give this sword to Lin Er, one is to give Lin Er as a gift, and the other is not to bury this sword. Father-in-law Liu said without distress.

"Haha" Li Wenchang on the side smiled and said: "Father-in-law Liu, you give this big gift, compared to the poor Dao, this gift is dwarfed." ”

After speaking, Li Wenchang took out a scripture book, which read "Void Nerve".

Li Wenchang handed over the "Void Nerve" to Tang Lin and said: "This scripture, you recite it silently every day before going to bed, it has the effect of concentrating the mind and strengthening the soul. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lee. Tang Lin received another big gift and said happily to Li Wenchang.

"Daochang Li, don't be modest, if our family remembers correctly, a rich man asked you for 400,000 gold coins back then, and you refused directly without even seeing your face, and today you took it out so generously, why did you take it out?"

Li Wenchang said with a smile: "The cultivators of my generation have always been pure-hearted and have few desires, and money is like dung. Xiaoyou has a fate with the poor road, and giving this scripture is also a good fate. ”

"Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, you all give gifts to your brother, what about mine?" Seeing that Tang Lin had a gift, Su Qianqian pouted and said dissatisfied.

Gonggong Liu and Li Wenchang looked at Su Qianqian together, and Gonggong Liu said openly: "Little girl, do you have fewer gifts from your uncle on weekdays? Today, Uncle gave Lin Er a gift for the first time, and you are still jealous, and Uncle usually hurts you in vain." ”

"Hey, hey. Su Qianqian smiled and said, "I'm kidding! ”

Everyone laughed, and Su Dingfang looked at Li Wenchang with eager eyes and said: "Daochang Li is here today, I don't know if I can make a hexagram for Lin Erbu and calculate his future." ”

Li Wenchang looked at Tang Lin for a while, stretched out his right hand, and several fingers were pinched together and constantly changed. Li Wenchang frowned, then smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoyou's future poverty can't be calculated, but I vaguely feel Xiaoyou's extraordinary, and I think Xiaoyou will definitely do something." "It's the first time that Li Wenchang has encountered something that he can't calculate, and generally things that can't be calculated involve heavenly opportunities, so he just said that Tang Lin is extraordinary.

Su Dingfang was a little disappointed, but still said: "Haha, it's okay, since the Dao Leader has said that it is extraordinary, then there is no need to force a peek into the future." ”

For Li Wenchang who couldn't calculate his future, Tang Lin suddenly thought of what the Wheel King in the underworld said to himself, the Wheel King said that he was the son of heaven and abandonment, and said that he was betting on himself, and what was his mission?

At the dinner table, several people talked happily, and the little fire purple winged lion felt bored and ran out of the door and wandered around the courtyard. After eating, Su Dingfang said something to Tang Lin.

"Lin Er, in addition to letting you meet Daochang Li and Grandpa Liu, there is another important thing to call you back this time. Su Dingfang said with a solemn expression.

"Father-in-law, what's important?" Tang Lin said puzzled.

"Since I brought you back, I haven't had a chance to test whether you have a spiritual root, and today Daochang Li took the instrument to test the spiritual root, and I will test it for you. ”

Gonggong Liu and Su Qianqian glanced at Li Wenchang and then at Tang Lin. They both understood the importance of spiritual roots, and neither of them had spiritual roots, so they naturally hoped that Tang Lin would have spiritual roots.

After listening to Su Dingfang's words, Tang Lin felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know if he had a spiritual root, although his physique was naturally strong, but if he didn't have a spiritual root, he still couldn't set foot on the path of cultivation.

Seeing the change in Tang Lin's expression, Su Dingfang said with a smile, "Even if Lin Er, you really don't have a spiritual root, and you still have a father, no one dares to bully you." ”

Although Su Dingfang was comforting himself, he had always wanted to become strong and protect the Su family, if he really didn't have a spiritual root, would he be willing to be mediocre? Tang Lin said in his heart.

Afterwards, Tang Lin followed Su Dingfang and Li Wenchang into a room.

Inside the room, Li Wenchang took out a gray crystal ball and put it on the table, and said to Tang Lin: "Put your hand on the crystal ball, if there is a spiritual root, the crystal ball will light up, if the crystal ball does not change, then there is no spiritual root." ”

Tang Lin nodded, slowly approached the crystal ball, and looked at the crystal ball Tang Lin's heart became uneasy again, and he pressed his hand on the crystal ball with some trembling.

As soon as Tang Lin's hand touched the crystal ball, the crystal ball immediately lit up with white light, shining like the sun, and the light pierced the house and lit up the night.

Inside the house, Su Dingfang and the others couldn't stand the direct light of the strong light, so they covered their eyes with their hands.

Seeing that the crystal ball had changed so much, Tang Lin was overjoyed in his heart, and it seemed that he had a spiritual root.

Before Tang Lin could react from his joy, the crystal ball suddenly withdrew all its light and turned into its original gray.

"What's going on?" Tang Lin didn't understand why the light was so strong just now, why it suddenly became dim.

"Alas!" Li Wen let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "It's a pity. ”

Hearing Li Wenchang say that it was a pity, Tang Lin's heart was cold, and his heart became uneasy.

Su Dingfang hurriedly asked, "Daochang Li, what's going on? The light was so strong just now, why did it suddenly disappear?"

Li Wenchang said slowly: "Test the spiritual root, the stronger the light, the stronger the spiritual root." The brilliance of the light that Lin Er tested just now was like the sun, and such a strong spiritual root poor dao had only been seen in ancient books. But the disappearance of the light shows that Lin Er's spiritual root is incomplete, and the incomplete spiritual root cannot be cultivated. ”

Su Dingfang's expression changed and said, "Daochang Li, why is Lin Er's spiritual root broken?

In response to Su Dingfang's question, Li Wenchang shook his head and said: "There are many reasons for the mutilation of the spiritual root, it is very complicated, and the poor road is not clear. But Lin Er's future poor path can't be deduced, so I can't deduce the reason for Lin Er's spiritual root defection. ”

"Is there really no way?" asked Su Dingfang anxiously. Tang Lin's original spiritual root was excellent, but for some reason it was broken, how could Su Dingfang not be anxious.

Li Wenchang shook his head again and said, "Providence is like this, it can only rely on Lin Er himself." ”

Su Dingfang wanted to open his mouth to ask again, but Tang Lin interrupted: "Father-in-law, Daochang Li said that I have to rely on myself, then I will go to find a solution, the emperor lives up to his wishes, I believe I will definitely be able to find a way." After speaking, Tang Lin turned around and walked outside the house.

Su Dingfang in the room glanced at Li Wenchang and sighed, but he didn't say anything.
