Chapter 3 The Origin of Immortal Beans (II)
This is a world where multiple races coexist in harmony, in addition to pure humans like Lin and his son, there are also some people with animal heads but human bodies, like the king of the human world is a kobold, and there are some animals that can speak human language, they also belong to the citizens of the earth and have the same rights as pure humans.
Seeing the cat man come in, Lin honestly said:
"Guest, are you going to eat? We're ready to close. ”
The cat man was not tall, and he was holding a wooden staff taller than him, squinting his eyes and saying:
"I'm not here to eat. I'm here to see the beans that you can bring dying animals back to life. ”
Lin was taken aback:
"You! You...... Who are you? How do you know? ”
The cat man still squinted his eyes and said:
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. I am the Garin Immortal at the top of the Garin Tower in the Holy Land. The tower I live in is very tall, and I usually look around when I'm fine, so there's really not much I don't know about in this world. ”
Lin Laoshi was taken aback again, and then immediately stood up respectfully, bowed and said:
"It turned out to be the Garin Immortals! Disrespectful, disrespectful! It's a great honor for me to be here! I've heard that you're very knowledgeable and very skilled, and you're over a thousand years old......"
Garin Immortal coughed twice:
"I'm not that old, I'm still young, I'm just over 800 years old. By the way, where did you hear that? ”
It's just over 800 ...... Lin Laoshi sweated for a moment and said:
"More than thirty years ago, when Master Wu Tian was training his two apprentices on this island. By the way, didn't you just say that bean? That's what he gave me back then. ”
Garin Immortal Wonder:
"Back then, I gave Wu Tian some things, including dozens of immortal beans, but those immortal beans can only be used to fill the stomach, and they have no function of treating injuries."
Lin Laoshi told the fairy beans he planted again, and the Garin immortals realized that the healing function of this fairy bean was produced after secondary creation.
Lin Laoshi asked Lin Xia to take the glass bottle to the Garin Immortal, and the Garin Immortal only took one bean, and returned the bottle back to Lin Xia, and then asked Lin Laoshi for the ancestral secret recipe, drank the bean seedling soup, ate supper, studied it all night, and woke up the Lin father and son who were asleep on the table the next morning:
"I've figured out how it works. As a token of gratitude for the kindness of your father and son, you may make a request, and I will do my best to accommodate it. ”
Lin honestly thought about it, rubbed his hands and said:
"My kid has been a fortune teller in the temple, and the great monk said that he can't leave the island until he is 16 years old, I want to ask the immortals, is this algorithm correct? There is only primary school on this island, Lin Xia has already finished school, and he has to go to Nandu to go to middle school, so he can only study at home now, and I am worried that he will not be able to keep up with the progress of school by then. ”
Garin Immortal stretched out his hand and put it on Lin Xia's head to meditate for a moment, wondering in his heart that this young man's soul turned out to be a fusion of two souls, one soul was as pure as a baby, and the other soul was fragmentary, although it was also from the earth, it seemed that the other earth was not this earth, and it was a little unclear about the origin. After the amazement, he said:
"There is a certain truth in the algorithm in the temple, this child has a strange fate, so let's leave the island after the age of 16."
Lin honestly joined hands to express his gratitude.
It was Lin Xia's turn, he tilted his head and thought for a long time before saying:
"Immortal Grandpa, what I wanted most was to go to the world outside the island, but if you all say so, then I don't know what I want."
Garin Immortal squinted his eyes and said:
"It doesn't matter if I didn't think about it now, this wish has always been valid, and when you think about it, you can write 'I thought of it' and put it on the roof, and I will come to you when I see it." Okay, I'm leaving. ”
Lin Laoshi hurriedly said:
"Are you in such a hurry, why don't you have breakfast before leaving."
Garin Immortal walked to the door and said:
"No, I ate so many suppers last night, and I'm still full. Honestly, you're pretty good at your craft. Lin Xia, you can come to Garinta to find me in the future. Somersault Cloud—"
With this shout, a white cloud floated to the door of the Lin family's restaurant, and the Garin Immortal jumped up and stood on the clouds, said "goodbye" and wanted to fly away.
Lin Xia hurriedly shouted:
"I thought of it!"
The Garin Immortal hurriedly stopped the white cloud that was about to fly, and said with a smile:
"If you think of it, just say it."
Lin Xia pointed to Bai Yun and said:
"I want this cloud!"
Lin was taken aback and hurriedly said:
"Xiaoxia, don't talk nonsense, this is an immortal's means of transportation, how can I give it to you?"
Garin Immortal jumped down from the cloud and said:
"It's okay, I still have a lot of them. But let me explain in advance that the somersault cloud can only be sat on by people with pure hearts. Lin Xia, you can try it, if you can...... Well, this somersault cloud is yours. ”
When the Garin Immortal was still talking about the norm of sitting on the clouds, Lin Xia couldn't wait to jump up, because the clouds were very soft, he didn't stand firm after jumping up, and he was surprised to lie on it and touched, kneaded and pinched the clouds with both hands.
Lin Laoshi saw that his son could stand on the somersault cloud, he was both surprised and happy, and when he heard that the cloud belonged to his son, he hurriedly said:
"How embarrassing! Xiaoxia, hurry, thank you to the Garin Immortals! ”
Lin Xia, who was very happy to touch, looked up and smiled:
"Thank you, Immortal Garin!"
Garin Immortal smiled and said:
"No thanks. Since you can sit on it, it means that you are a good boy. Good boys deserve to have somersault clouds! Okay, let's be filial to your father in the future. Somersault Cloud—"
With this shout, another white cloud floated in front of several people, and the Garin Immortal jumped up and said:
"Regarding the role of fairy beans, please pay attention to confidentiality and don't tell others. Okay, goodbye two. Somersault Cloud, go home! ”
In the "goodbye" of the Lin father and son, the Garin Immortals drifted away.
At this time, it was still early, and the rest of the people on the island had basically not gotten up yet, Lin Laoshi saw his son standing on the white clouds, and his heart was dishonest:
"Xiaoxia, come down and let Dad feel what it's like to sit on the clouds."
Lin Xia reminded:
"Dad, the immortal grandfather said that only people with pure hearts can sit up......"
Lin honestly said that he was not ashamed:
"What are you kidding, you are my son, you can sit on it, how can I not sit on it! Come down, don't grind. ”
As soon as Lin Xia came down from the somersault cloud, Lin Laoshi pounced on the cloud, and with a "plop", Lao Lin passed through the clouds, his limbs and face hit the ground, and he fell and gnawed on the mud:
"Phew...... Ouch! Phew...... My face! ”
Lin Xia hurriedly stepped forward to help:
"Dad, how are you? ……”
Lin Laoshi stood up, patted the dust on his body, and pretended not to care:
"I'm fine, I accidentally made a mistake just now, come on, let me try again."
Lin Xia hurriedly stopped:
"Daddy Daddy...... Try it again later when you have time, it's time to prepare the guests' meals. By the way, didn't you say that ancestral secret recipes can't be told to outsiders? Why did you tell the old man of the Garin Immortal so happily last night? ”
Lin honestly smiled and said:
"You're a child! Are the Garin Immortals outsiders? That's an immortal! Do the immortals understand! And even if I don't say it, he won't be able to know? Besides, the immortal is so powerful, he didn't add a healing function to the immortal bean before, but now he ......"
Although there was no one left and right, he still said to his son in a very small voice:
"Now inspired by our family's secret recipe, the immortal beans have been improved, and the effect of the immortal beans planted by the immortals will definitely be more powerful in the future. I guess he should have used the beans to save people, not to eat them himself, because the taste of the beans is really average. Do you think, when the time comes, the merits accumulated by the immortals through the immortal beans to save people will be indispensable to our family, where can we find this kind of good deed? Even if our family burns incense in the temple for a lifetime, it may not be able to withstand the merits brought by this event! ”
Lin honestly paused after saying this big string, and then said:
"Although these merits may not have any obvious benefits in reality, they will definitely be reflected when a person goes to the underworld and reports to the king of Yama."
Lin Xia reminded:
"Dad, there are benefits in reality, don't you think this somersault cloud is? Garin said I could go to him later. ”
Lin honestly touched his son's head and said:
"yes, yes. Therefore, people must do more good deeds and accumulate more virtues! ”
Lin Xia nodded and said:
"Dad, I remember, in the future, I will do more good deeds and accumulate more virtues!"
******
Lin Laoshi picked up the quilt that fell on the ground, covered his son, closed the door, lit a cigarette and walked to the balcony to sit down on a chair, looked at the single seedling edamame, and fell into deep thought.
There are more than ten pots of various flowers and plants on the balcony, only this edamame is the most ugly, but it is another spiritual pillar of Lin Laoshi in addition to Lin Xia, once he thinks of the past, he will come to the balcony and look at it in a daze.
The turtle immortal called in the evening, saying that for most of the six months starting tomorrow, he would bring two apprentices to the restaurant for breakfast and lunch, so that he could prepare meals and soup bean sprouts, and also reminded him to prepare more, because there was an apprentice who was a big rice bucket and had a super large amount of food.
For the word big rice bucket, Lin honestly didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just a child, no matter how big the amount of food could be, now there is a construction site on the island, what kind of tourist resort is being built, and some of the workers' meals are ordered from the Lin family's restaurant, and the amount of food for these workers is not small.
Unexpectedly, the turtle immortal brought his apprentice to train again, when he taught his apprentice, he was still as old as Lin Xia, and on that month of that year, he met her......
"Hello, my name is Lin Laoshi."
"Honestly, are you really honest?"
"Of course, people are as their name suggests. What's your name? ”
"How can a girl's name be told to someone casually? My name is Xia Mingzhu. ”
"What a name. We're both as good as our names. ”
……
"Xiaozhuzi, I named my son Lin Xia, and our surnames are combined into one, how about it, it's good!"
"It's not good, I can't change my surname 'Xia', my son's name can't be 'Xia' anymore, and there are four seasons in a year, you only give your son one season, what's so good about that?"
“…… Then, otherwise, use homophony, Xia, Xia, Lin Xia, the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people! ”
"Lin Xia, this is a good name, the embodiment of heroes and chivalry!"
……
Lin honestly recalled many old days that he didn't dare to think about for a long time, and didn't go back to his room to sleep until late at night.
