Chapter 13: Deserted Reunion
Lin Tianyang's parents died when he was six years old, leaving only a few properties in the family.
With the help of Mr. and Mrs. Chen, when he was eight years old, his twelve-year-old sister opened a piano shop in Mobei City, making a living by selling guqin and piano scores.
Back then, his sister was extremely talented in the piano, distinguishing music at the age of three, and writing music at the age of five, and she was also well-known in Mobei City, but she abandoned her piano skills because she took on the burden of life too early, and worked hard every day just to raise him.
Whenever he thinks of this, Lin Tianyang always feels that he owes his sister.
Granny Chen's face was full of heartache, and she said sadly: "There was no one in the shop at that time, who knows how it could catch fire?" The people from the yamen have come to see it, and they can't find the reason after looking at it for a long time, the shop is full of xylophones and piano scores, and when the fire burns, there will be nothing left, how can you let the eldest lady stand it during the Chinese New Year?"
Lin Tianyang's face was as heavy as ice, and her years of hard work were now burned by a fire, what kind of blow should it be to her?
"I'll go see my sister first!" he hurried towards the study.
Pushing open the door, the room was dim, Chen Bo stood next to the desk, anxiously checking the account book, crackling and calculus, and a beautiful woman sat in front of him, frowning.
The beautiful woman is slender and delicate, her appearance is beautiful, her eyebrows are like distant daisies, her skin is whiter than snow, and she is as pure as a hollow valley orchid, but her phoenix eyes are full of sorrow, and the whole person looks very tired, and she is very pitiful under the light of the dim candlelight.
This is his sister, Lin Tianwan.
Seeing Lin Tianwan for the first time, Lin Tianyang realized that this sister was far more important in his heart than he imagined, and his heart tightened: "Sister, I'm back." ”
Lin Tianwan came back to her senses, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she smiled reluctantly: "Tianyang, are you back, have you eaten?"
"Little master. Uncle Chen also stopped the abacus in his hand, called out, and immediately buried his head in the account book.
"What's going on, how can the shop catch fire?" Lin Tianyang walked to the desk, saw the tiredness on her face more clearly, and frowned slightly: "Sister, don't be busy yet, let's go eat." ”
Lin Tianwan grabbed his hand and shook his head, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about these things, you go to dinner first, and Uncle Chen and I have to discuss how to deal with this matter." ”
"Miss, it's really hard to deal with this time!" Uncle Chen's face was full of sadness, and he said hurriedly: "The piano scores we borrowed from Shopkeeper Qiao for 10,000 taels to buy are all in the shop, and now they have all been burned out by a fire, how should we ......?"
"Uncle Chen!" Lin Tianwan scolded, his face was angry, Uncle Chen glanced at Lin Tianyang, and swallowed his words.
Lin Tianyang knew that she didn't want to worry about herself, so she sighed and said, "Sister, I can actually help......
"Sister knows your intentions, but you are still a child, how can you help?" Lin Tianwan patted the back of his hand, her eyes were full of pity: "Hurry up and eat, obedient!"
He wanted to say something, but seeing that his sister was so resolute, he finally chose to be obedient and withdrew from the study.
"Miss, in fact, the little master has grown up, and there are some things he should learn to ......"
"Uncle Chen, I understand what you mean, but Tianyang is still a child, and he still needs to learn to paint, and I don't want him to be distracted. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that the tuition fees of the young master were so expensive all these years, in fact, our days would not be so tormented, eldest miss, it would be better to forget it......"
Uncle Chen, we have to have confidence in him, I believe he will not let us down!"
Lin Tianyang's five senses are now sensitive and extraordinary, and he can hear the conversation in the room clearly when he stands outside the door, and listening to the firmness in Lin Tianwan's words, his eyes can't help but be a little warm.
He was very glad that he had crossed over at the moment, otherwise he really didn't know how heartbroken this respectable and lovely woman would be in the future?
In a state of confusion, he had no appetite, and walked through the courtyard to a room in the far west.
The room was empty, except for a square table with plates of melons and fruits and pastries, two long white candles, an incense burner, and two yellow wood tablets in the middle.
This is the spiritual seat of his parents.
"Dad, mother, I'm back. ”
Lin Tian raised some incense to comfort him, offered incense to his parents in the other world for the first time, and inserted the incense into the furnace after three bows.
The cigarette curled, Lin Tianyang looked at the spiritual position flickering in the candlelight, and when he was sad in his heart, he had a lot of confusion.
His father was a painter of the Imperial Spirit Realm during his lifetime, and his strength was comparable to Lu Huanyu, but he died suddenly when he was six years old, and his mother couldn't bear such a blow, and his heart disease was difficult to treat, and he died of grief, leaving only their sister and brother.
Now that he has been promoted to Enlightened Painter, he knows very well how powerful a painter is, and why did a Royal Spirit Realm painter suddenly fall?
If the enemy is an existence beyond the Imperial Spirit Realm, why hasn't he come to the door for many years?
With the strength of the Imperial Spirit Realm painter alone, how could he obtain the Tianyan Nine Star Recipe created by the Painting Saint?
Countless questions crossed his heart, but after all, he was young at the time, and he couldn't remember many things clearly, and he couldn't figure out how to think about it.
"If I have the chance, I will find out the truth about my father's sudden death, and I will give you an explanation. Lin Tianyang knelt down again, but this time he bowed to his predecessor.
Granny Chen walked in and said, "Little Master, Miss, they're still busy, let's go eat first." ”
"Okay, I got it. Lin Tianyang stood up and walked into the hall.
In the middle of the hall is a round table with red lacquer, which is filled with a variety of exquisite dishes and six pairs of dishes and chopsticks.
Lin Tianyang and Granny Chen sat next to each other, saying some blessings and drinking a cup together, Qi Qi did not move chopsticks, and was silent.
Tonight was supposed to be a reunion dinner, but a fire made a cloud of sorrow, and the home was extremely deserted.
Under Granny Chen's persuasion, he simply ate a few bites, then got up and went back to his room.
"It's better to tell my sister tomorrow after Shopkeeper Liu delivers the things and silver, she won't believe me now. ”
Looking at the flickering candlelight in the study, he sighed and closed the door gently.
After the door was closed, he didn't sleep, but sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate the Tianyan Nine Star Technique.
"Tomorrow, all the predicaments at home will be changed, and from now on, I must let my family live a good life!" he slowly closed his eyes.
The stars twinkled in the night, and it was when the power of the stars was at its strongest, and the power of the stars continued to merge into his sea of knowledge, and the nine stars of mental power were slowly running, and the quality became more and more refined.
When he was concentrating on cultivation, the seventh-floor meeting hall in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was brightly lit.
Wang Ziyan, who was a little tired, leaned back in the rosewood chair, holding a milky white pill in her hand, with a hidden brilliance.
The fresh medicinal fragrance is refreshing and pleasant.
"Improve the Huiling Pill and increase the efficacy of half of the medicine...... Wang Ziyan pinched the pill and looked at it carefully, her eyes glazed: "Such a good pill, why don't you come to report it immediately?"
Liu Donghai was stunned, and his old face turned red: "The old slave was confused for a while, and he knew that you were discussing important matters, so he didn't dare to come and disturb ......."
"Bang!" Wang Ziyan slapped her palm on the handle, her apricot eyes widened: "Don't you know what this elixir means?
Her chest rose and fell violently, obviously angry: "If you miss the opportunity to befriend a medicine refining master because of you, can you afford the consequences!"
Liu Donghai hurriedly knelt down and said hurriedly: "Miss, don't be angry, I have left Lin Gongzi's address, and I will personally lead someone to deliver the goods tomorrow, I will never dare to miss such a great opportunity!"
"Even if you're still a little smart!" Wang Ziyan's anger decreased slightly, but she didn't let him get up: "Tomorrow, you will definitely go in person and tell him in person that in addition to the best-selling pills he wants, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will provide him with another ten Yuan Ling Pills every month!"
"Ten Yuan Ling Pills?" Liu Donghai raised his head in shock, puzzled: "The Yuan Ling Pill is a seven-grade elixir, and the effect of restoring mental power is far from being comparable to the improved Hui Ling Pill, and the price of one is as high as 10,000 taels of silver, eldest miss, Lin Gongzi is not a medicine refining master after all, do we really want to make such a heavy investment?"
Wang Ziyan glanced at him: "Of course he is not a Sect Master of Alchemy, if the Sect Master of Medicine Refining Pill is by his side, why does he still need to ask us for the pill?"
Liu Donghai was stunned when he heard this, he only wanted to please Lin Tianyang before, but he didn't think about this.
"There is only one reason, that is, he needs someone who can provide him with pills!" Wang Ziyan smiled, her beautiful eyes shining: "What he wants is an elixir to restore his mental power, and he has entered the test room, which means that he is likely to be a painter himself!"
"A person who is very likely to be a painter and has a medicine refining master behind him, isn't it worth our heavy investment to win over?" Wang Ziyan leaned on the soft collapse leisurely, very lazy.
If Lin Tian cultivated here, he was afraid that he would also admire Wang Ziyan's intelligence, and then began to doubt the authenticity of the word big-chested and brainless......
"Painter?" Liu Donghai remembered the compelling momentum, and suddenly realized in his heart, if he wasn't a painter, how could he have such an aura!
"The eldest lady is right, Lin Gongzi may really be a painter!" He suddenly remembered the painting that Lin Tianyang asked him to hand over, and hurriedly got up in a panic, took out the painting paper from his arms and sent it to Wang Ziyan: "Miss, this son's painting skills are so good, the old slave has never seen it!"
"Unseen?" Wang Ziyan is beautiful and slightly wrinkled, Liu Donghai, as the shopkeeper of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, has handled countless famous paintings, how can he have such a high evaluation of a teenager's painting skills?
But when she picked up the piece of paper, she finally understood what it was to see something that she had never seen before.
On the thin drawing paper, there is a picture of her smiling, bright eyes and bright teeth, apricot eyes smart, whether it is black hair, or the light in the eyes, even the lines on the clothes are also painted clearly, realistic to the extreme, if she is not still awake, I think I am in a dream at the moment, dreaming of myself smiling picture!
All the paintings circulating in Tianyan Continent are ink paintings, and she has never seen such delicate colors, perfect lines, and vivid paintings, which are just like ...... A mirror that can trace time and space!
"Is that the young man?" Wang Ziyan was so surprised that she recognized that the background was at the door of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and naturally remembered the young man who was blocking her, and felt even more shocked: "Even the background is so lifelike, he can actually draw the whole picture just by looking at it?"
This kind of painting technique is unprecedented!
Wang Ziyan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she got up suddenly: "Shopkeeper Liu, tomorrow I will bring all the pills that can restore my mental power, and I will go with you in person!"
"What?" Liu Donghai exclaimed, unable to believe it: "Miss, you want to go to Lin Gongzi in person?"
"Exactly!" Wang Ziyan's beautiful eyes were full of excitement, and her eyes were reluctant to leave the drawing paper: "With such earth-shattering painting skills, I'm afraid that I can't call Lin Gongzi anymore, but I should call him Master Lin!"
Liu Donghai was a little stunned: Is he a master of painting at the age of sixteen?
............
As soon as dawn broke, Lin Tianyang, who was immersed in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, and a monstrous anger flashed.
He heard a voice coming from the doorway.
"Lin Tianwan, if you don't pay back the money today, I will let your house start a fire!"
