Chapter 52: The Lin Family's Ancestral Training
In the Lin family meeting hall, Lin Haotian sat in the first place, listening to the words of his grandchildren and the whole thing, and shouted loudly: "Don't wait for me!"
"All preparations are suspended, only all valuables are taken and nothing else is allowed, leave the housekeeper and the guardian to watch the door, and everyone else will leave tonight!"
After announcing the results and decisions, Lin Haotian took the lead in walking out of the council hall, looking into the distance with a confused look in his eyes, and thinking in his heart: I hope everything is in time.
In fact, he didn't want to leave in such an embarrassment, but there was no way, he was really forced to do it, and a catastrophe was coming.
Turning his head and scanning the Lin family's ancestral house, he was secretly sad.
I still remember that year, the moment when I took over the position of head of the family from my father Lin Jin, when my father was dying, he held his hand tightly, and asked him not to give up the ancestral house, especially the ancestral temple.
At first, he didn't know the reason, why every descendant of the Lin family had to pour one-tenth of the blood into a groove in the center of the ancestral hall every year, and later learned that this regulation was Zu Xun, and his father, grandfather and others also did it.
This ancestral precept stipulates that their Lin family has continued until now, and they don't know the reason why they did it, but carefully check the secret book that has been handed down, and clearly know that this matter must not be sloppy, otherwise the ancestors and future generations will be affected by it.
After Lin Haotian took over the position of head of the family, he had been following the ancestral teachings, and he did not dare to surpass Lei Chi by half a step, for fear that he would commit a catastrophe because of his own negligence.
Now that life and death are at stake, he really can't care so much, so he can only wait until the end of the year to sneak back and drip his own blood into the groove of the ancestral shrine.
This groove has a strange phenomenon, that is, it must be fresh, just flowing blood from the human body, and it must be from their Lin family, otherwise it will be eliminated by the groove.
He tried it once before, and secretly poured a bucket of spirit fox blood, but all the grooves were discharged without absorption, not to mention, and it also caused the ancestral shrine to shake and almost collapse, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to have any other ideas.
"Grandpa, why do you want to leave people, let's just leave, settle directly in the Dayan Empire, and abandon this courtyard. ”
Lin Haotian stood motionless at the door, full of the past, his face was pale and melancholy, recalling the past, Lin Jingyun ran out after Lin Haotian, and muttered.
He was short, he only cared about what he didn't understand, and he didn't pay attention to the changes in Lin Haotian's face, let alone Lin Haotian's mood fluctuations, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a qualityless question.
"Heh, stupid boy, you must not have this idea, the ancestral teachings, even if the clan is exterminated, the ancestral house must not be abandoned. ”
Lin Haotian heard the voice of his little grandson, looked down at the young and innocent Lin Jingyun, was stunned, and then smiled bitterly and said.
"What ancestral teachings?"
Lin Jingyun's eyes rolled, and he continued to ask after realizing it, at this time, he was still in the mood to investigate thoroughly, asking the reason, whether it was a child, he was at an innocent age, and he forgot the danger he had just experienced in a blink of an eye.
"You're still young, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, when you grow up, you'll know, now hurry up and pack up, ready to go at any time." ”
Lin Haotian looked panicked and nervous, he didn't mention the content of the ancestral teachings to Lin Jingyun, let alone discuss this issue with a child who didn't understand anything at this time, not to mention that it was the current head of the Lin family, he didn't pass it on, let alone Lin Jingyun, who had nothing to do!
Lin Jingyun didn't get an answer from his grandfather's mouth, so he turned around indifferently and walked towards the council hall again, but when he turned around, he didn't pay attention, and crashed into Lin Jingyu's arms, who was standing behind the two of them, and Lin Jingyun covered his nose and screamed.
Lin Jingyu followed behind her as early as when Lin Jingyun came out, and she heard the conversation between her grandfather and grandson clearly.
This concentration that didn't listen was deeply attracted by what Lin Haotian said, and listened attentively, thinking about the key issues in Lin Haotian's words, but he didn't expect Lin Jingyun to suddenly turn around and be caught off guard.
Lin Jingyu hurriedly picked up his younger brother in his arms, blew the red fluttering nose with his mouth, and smiled awkwardly, but his thoughts had already flown to the ancestral training of the Lin family, and it seemed that their Lin family not only inherited the first half of Master Mei's refining treasure book, but also had other unknown secrets.
Lin Jingyu is lively and intelligent, and is known as the first talented woman in Linyue City, with a delicate mind, she can find a clue from the bits and pieces, and then analyze and research according to this clue, find out and understand everything.
Suddenly, she thought of the sacrifice at the end of each year: relatives and domestic servants did not participate, and only their Lin family lineage could participate.
She vaguely remembered that her friend Mu Wan'er said that the Mu family seemed to have such a sacrifice, and she always felt that something was abnormal, as if she had grasped the point, but she couldn't say it, and at this time, she was yelled at by Lin Jingyun and shouted in pain, which disrupted her thoughts, so she was no longer entangled, nodded towards Lin Haotian, and ran towards the gate with Lin Jingyun who was screaming.
Lin Haotian didn't talk to Lin Jingyu from beginning to end, just glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention, he didn't know how much Lin Jingyu heard from the conversation just now, and there was no need to know, although the ancestral training said that men should not be passed on to women, but at this time of life and death, it is no longer important.
Even if he knew how smart his granddaughter was, he could find out the key to the ancestral training from the conversation just now, and he didn't care anymore, because it didn't make much sense.
As soon as I leave this time, if it sounds good, it is to flee, and if it is not good, it is to flee, I am afraid that it is not a simple uproot, but a permanent departure.
Lin Haotian was no longer melancholy, as if he had suddenly realized and thought everything clearly, he turned around and walked slowly towards his courtyard.
Just as the three of them were leaving, behind the door of the council hall, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties walked out, with an angular outline and a clearly visible turban.
The middle-aged man stared at Lin Haotian's back with deep meaning, his cold eyes were condensed, and the cold air was shivering, even he couldn't help but shiver, let alone Lin Haotian who was stared at!
The middle-aged man suddenly woke up, found his gaffe, quickly restrained his breath, and hid behind the door of the council hall again, nervously breaking out in a cold sweat, I don't know if he was frozen by the chill released by himself just now, or now he was afraid of being discovered, in short, sweating like rain, sweating all over his face.
Lin Haotian was about to step out of the threshold of the courtyard of the council hall, and suddenly felt the cold wind swishing behind him, and there was a feeling like a thorn in his back, and when he turned around, there were no other people, which was a little strange, but that feeling was very real, it should not be that he was suspicious, but now there was no extra time for him to inquire, so he didn't think about it anymore, accelerated the pace of walking, and disappeared at the door of the courtyard of the council hall in the blink of an eye.
