Chapter 49: Returning Home
The east gradually turned white, and there was still silence all around. At the foot of Guansheng Peak in Songshan Mountain, a row of low houses is still silent, just like the seclusion of this mountain.
"Rattle......" The sound of a string of wooden doors opening suddenly sounded, and a young man with a sword-eyed eyebrow stretched out of the house. This young man was none other than Lin Han, who had rushed back from Luoyang. Originally, Lin Han had arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain yesterday evening, but considering that it was difficult to walk at night, he didn't care about the time of that night.
When he subconsciously walked to the hut where he lived before, he was surprised to find that although so many years had passed, the house had not been damaged, presumably because the surrounding neighbors helped repair it from time to time, so that after eleven years, the house could still be inhabited.
Hearing the sound in the house, Uncle Liu next door came out to check, and then helped tidy up the room, so that he could finally move in immediately, fortunately, the sky view has entered summer, and he does not need bedding and other winter things, and he can barely cope with one night. After thanking Uncle Liu, Lin Han was in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and with this scene, he recalled the good times when he first came to this world, and sighed: I can't imagine that it has been more than ten years.
How many times has Lao Wing been cold and summer, how many decades can he have in his life? Dreams, illusions? And how to tell the difference!
When the night was getting darker, Lin Han calmed down and entered the cultivation, and after the cultivation, he lay on the slightly short old wooden bed and gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up early this morning, Lin Han was on the open lawn in front of the house, practicing swordsmanship. Now Lin Han has seen the advanced swordsmanship of the various factions of Wuyue, and indeed each has its own strengths, but most of them are not suitable for his own cultivation, just like the thirteen styles of the Hengshan faction, which is too fancy, if it is used to face the enemy head-on, it will be difficult to win when encountering a master, and the most afraid is to meet a second stunned person who will give a sword regardless of it, and no matter how much change is in vain; There are also the 'Five Great Doctor Sword' of the Taishan faction and the 'Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Technique' of the Hengshan faction, all of which have their own discomforts; only the Huashan faction has a long history, and the swordsmanship is also exquisite, but if Lin Han, a disciple of Songshan, practices the Huashan swordsmanship completely, it is too unreasonable, so he has to pick up his exquisite sword moves to learn.
Therefore, Lin Han is proficient in only three swordsmanship, which is the "Evil Warding Sword Technique" of the Qingcheng faction, the "Meridian Twelve Swords" of the Songshan faction and the self-created "Blazing Sun Sword Technique", plus some sharp sword moves of the Huashan faction, such as Taiyue Sanqingfeng, the Deadly Serial Three Immortal Sword, the Wind Fast Sword and so on.
It's just that as far as the swordsmanship of the Wuyue Sword School is concerned, there is a drawback, that is, it is either related to the mountains, or it has evolved from the Taoist classics, which has great limitations, but now the Wuyue Sword School is powerful, and these flaws are covered up under the brilliance. But Lin Han couldn't ignore it, if he wanted to carry forward the Songshan faction, in addition to breaking the geographical restrictions, the deficiencies in martial arts must also be supplemented. As for how to replenish the benefits, it is natural to have more knowledge and experience, or to visit the seniors.
When the sun gradually rose, Lin Han had already finished today's morning class, because he had to go to Songshan Mountain later, so it was half an hour earlier than usual.
Looking at the stainless steel long sword in his hand helplessly, Lin Han shook his head and sighed: "The ordinary steel sword is no longer suitable, you have to find a divine weapon, but it's not easy to talk about." "For weapons, Lin Han didn't care about them originally, as long as they could use them, the long sword made of ordinary steel could meet the previous needs. The weapon only needs to kill the enemy, and there is no need to pursue the bluff of a peerless sword. However, when the Ice and Fire True Qi reached the Triple Realm Perfection, Lin Han found that the ordinary long sword could no longer conduct the internal energy well, and there was always a part of the internal qi that would be lost in the long sword.
Since the true qi of the quadruple realm was not much different from the true qi of the triple realm in nature, Lin Han had not been in a hurry to open up the tiny meridians on the ten fingers, and such tedious work could not be completed in a short period of time. By this time, the Triple Realm had gradually mellowed, and no matter how much polishing it continued, it would not make much progress, Lin Han considered whether to prepare for entering the Quadruple Realm, in this way, it was even more necessary to pay attention to the subtle over-control of the True Qi, if there was a divine weapon, he would be able to feel the flow of the True Qi between his ten fingers.
But this kind of thing can't be rushed, I haven't seen anyone have a good sword these days, the legend says that Mr. Mo Da has a sharp narrow sword, Lin Han wondered if he got it for him, but thinking of Mr. Mo Da's martial arts, Lin Han was not sure at all, and it was somewhat bad to rob it.
Hey, with a sigh, he put away the peerless sword dream, and saw Uncle Liu come over and greet him: "The second child of the Lin family, come over for breakfast." ”
"Okay, Uncle Liu, wait first." Lin Han replied, then went back to the room to pick up the package, and gently closed the wooden door after going out, as for locking the door, there was no need to lock the door, and it was convenient for the neighbors to repair it. Straddle the package over your right shoulder and walk up to Uncle Liu.
"Lin Xiaoer, what are you?" Uncle Liu asked suspiciously, not understanding why he had to carry a package on his back for breakfast.
Lin Han explained with a smile: "Uncle, Xiao Er plans to go up the mountain directly after breakfast, so he will take out the package directly, and he will have to come back again." ”
Uncle Liu nodded and said, "Xiao Er is out of breath, I'm afraid it's a good skill to practice, right?!" ”
"Hehe" Lin Han smiled: "It's okay, there is no problem walking the rivers and lakes." ”
"That ......" Uncle Liu hesitated, and stopped talking a little.
Lin Han asked, "Is there something wrong with Uncle Liu?" Let's talk as we go. ”
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, talk as you go." Uncle Liu remembered that he had come to call someone to eat, and hurriedly led the way in front, then turned his head and said to Lin Han: "It's that my grandson is twelve years old this year, and he wants to worship under the Songshan Gate, I wonder if Xiao Er can help introduce him?" ”
"So that's the case, um......" Lin Han pondered, since the apprentices were accepted eleven years ago, the Songshan faction has not accepted any more apprentices in these years, it seems that it is necessary to make a suggestion to Zuo Shibo, it is time for the Songshan faction to accept apprentices again, and if it succeeds in recovering the Golden Daomen, it will also need a large number of people to be stationed in Luoyang, so the manpower of the Songshan faction is indeed a little insufficient.
Seeing that Lin Han was thinking, Uncle Liu waited quietly, not daring to interrupt his train of thought. When Lin Han raised his head, he said to Uncle Liu's nervous face: "It's a trivial matter, Xiao Er will say it to Uncle Zuo after he goes up the mountain, but it will take some time, the Songshan faction will be busy recently." “
"It's okay, it's okay, Uncle just said it casually, I didn't expect it to really happen, Uncle thanked Xiao Er first." Uncle Liu said excitedly.
Lin Han asked again, "What's my nephew's name?" ”
Uncle Liu hurriedly replied: "My name is Liu Jiyuan, I was conceived that year, and I was exactly twelve years old this year, and this poor child will have no father as soon as he is born." Speaking of the child's father, Uncle Liu looked gloomy. Lin Han nodded, vaguely remembering that the Liu family did have a son who was very good with the eldest brother, but he never saw him again, and he didn't expect to die in that battle.
"The dead have rested, and the living live happily." Lin Han said comfortingly.
Wiping his red eyes with his sleeves, Uncle Liu said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, don't mention those past things, go to breakfast first, and take a look at my grandson." ”
"Exactly".
After arriving at the courtyard of Liu's house, I saw a tiger-headed young man looking out behind the door, thinking that he heard the noise outside, and couldn't help but be curious. Uncle Liu beckoned: "Tiger head, come and call someone, this is your Uncle Lin." ”
The tiger head thought that it was Liu Jiyuan's nickname, and after hearing Uncle Liu's call, he immediately jumped over and hugged his grandfather's arm, and said angrily: "Uncle Lin is good, grandma has prepared something delicious, just wait for uncle." ”
Lin Han was also amused by this simple boy, and said with a smile: "The tiger head is very well-behaved, but my uncle didn't bring a gift this time, and I will make it up for you next time I go to the mountain, okay?" ”
"The child's family, where you know what to ask for a gift." Uncle Liu hurriedly waved his hand, and then said to his grandson: "Don't you like to practice martial arts?" Uncle Lin promised to take you up the mountain next time. ”
"Really?" Hutou was very happy to hear that he could go up the mountain, this group of children under the mountain had been waiting for many years, and he was looking forward to the Songshan faction being able to accept apprentices again, Hutou felt that Uncle Lin, who was going to give him a gift, was really a good person.
Uncle Liu looked at his grandson dotingly, nodded, and then greeted: "Come, the second child of the Lin family will come in for breakfast." ”
Lin Han walked into the hall and saw that there were already more than a dozen pots and dishes on the table, and he was very surprised that it was not porridge, steamed buns, delicate side dishes, etc., but white rice and wild game. Of course, Lin Han knew the reason, although Lin Han had not returned to 'home' for more than ten years, but there were still brothers who would go home on weekdays, so Lin Han's deeds spread under the mountain, and the previous neighbors naturally wanted to take the opportunity to ask Lin Han to help his children and grandchildren bring a message, hoping to be valued by the Songshan faction. If Lin Han hadn't come back in the evening and planned to leave early in the morning, I'm afraid that people who knew the news would have broken through the threshold.
Although when walking the rivers and lakes, there is no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but at this moment, seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family who are still busy, Lin Han only feels that he has never felt warm.
Looking at the dishes cooked with heart, and looking at the happy appearance of Uncle Liu's family, Lin Han realized that this was what it felt like to be at home.
Seeing Lin Han stunned in place, Uncle Liu hurriedly took his hand, led him to the dinner table, and said, "Come, come, come, there are no good things, they are all wild meat harvested in the mountains on weekdays." After that, Lin Han was led to the main seat, how did this make Lin Han hurriedly shirk, and after a lot of pulling, he sat down on the left, which was also too hospitable, more tiring than an undefeated fight with the East, but fortunately, he finally pushed the position of the main seat as he wished.
There is no habit of women not being allowed to share the same table in the martial arts, although the ordinary people at the foot of Songshan Mountain are not considered to be people in the martial arts, fortunately, there is no such vulgarity, after the meal is prepared, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family also accompany the table.
After breakfast, Lin Han planned to go up the mountain, so he didn't stay long, but before leaving, he asked Uncle Liu to pass a message, telling the family to have children ready, and soon the Songshan faction would accept apprentices again. After doing this, Lin Han carried a package and a long sword in his hand, and walked towards the mountain.
