CHAPTER XXXI

"Boy, your identity should not be exposed for the time being, your father also offended a lot of people back then, if you want to have no peace in the future, then expose your identity in advance, it's a big deal if there is any trouble, just block it for the teacher. Lian Chen still had to break free, and when he heard Lin Sheng say this, he immediately became honest. By the way, it seems that his father was not a person who did nothing back then, he must be the shining person, but such a person is feared on the one hand, on the other hand, he will be hated by others, and even make enemies with others, and now that his father is gone, it is not excluded that someone will transfer this hatred to himself, although it may not cause any damage to himself, but it is not too careful.

It seems that he still thinks about the problem simply, and if he is not careful, he will cause * trouble to himself, if it is not for Master Lin's thoughtful thinking, he may have stupidly reported his real name. Then I will temporarily call myself Lin Chen to the outside world in the future. Lin Chen, Lin Chen, this name seems to be good?

Finally completed the identity registration, Lian Chen took the identity token issued by Tianlanyuan, and finally realized that he had become a monk of Zizhu Academy with an official identity from a grass people, and he couldn't help but feel a little lamented that the world was changing quickly. Ten days ago, he was just a small running boy in a little-known inn in a small town on the border of the Northland, but now he has become a cultivator of the Beichen Holy Sect admired by the world. I may have to encounter many of these things in the future, but I must not forget the original purpose of my here. No matter what happens in the world, you must keep your heart and not forget who you are and what you are here for, otherwise you will have a difficult road ahead and a catastrophe will not be far away.

Out of the Tianlanyuan, it is already noon, it is the time to eat, the street is crowded, the crowd is crowded, everyone is in a hurry, there are the vendors who go down to the market are carrying the burden of selling goods and hurrying home, there are the children of the plaster who go out to walk the dog are swaggering through the market with a few fox friends and dog friends, and the officials who have handed over the errand are calling friends and rushing to the restaurant to have a few drinks...... All kinds of people, etc., a lively and harmonious scene, the city seems to stretch at this time, regained its vitality and vitality, bright and beautiful. But everything exists in correspondence, there is life and death, there is light and there is darkness—in that dark, damp and dirty corner where ordinary people do not want to stay, there are ragged beggars, their empty eyes open, as if all hope in their hearts has been taken away by someone. Some leaned weakly against the base of the wall, and the broken bowl used for begging was placed in front of them at will, even if the money in the bowl was snatched away, they didn't care, and some just blindly and mechanically held the bowl in their hands, waiting for a steamed bun or a piece of bread to come. Lian Chen couldn't help frowning when he looked at it.

"What's the matter? Lian Chen, don't you have beggars in the north? A group of beggars can make you so uncomfortable?" Senior Brother Fan asked next to him, it turned out that Fan Zhongtong had been paying attention to Lian Chen's mood changes along the way, and when he saw him frowning at this time, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"No, it's just that I thought there wouldn't be beggars in such a prosperous place as the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, and even if there were, it shouldn't be such a lifeless look. Lian Chen replied.

"Oh, what do you think it should look like?" asked Senior Brother Fan, seemingly interested in Lian Chen's thoughts.

"At least, the imperial capital of Zhongzhou is so rich, even if you are a beggar, you should look happy, after all, the people around you are so rich, and their lives are so rich, even if they want to beg for food, they should have a lot of harvest, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, why did they end up in such a field?" Lian Chen said the doubts in his heart, to be honest, the beggar Lian Chen has seen a lot, he still has to deal with such people every day when he is a buddy in the inn, and he is so familiar with their behavior that he can no longer be familiar, generally speaking, beggars are roughly divided into two kinds, one is a fixed food source, every day will go to a fixed place to beg for some food, begging in his fixed position, basically this can be regarded as his fixed territory, begging during the day, resting at night, almost like ordinary people go to work every day, and extremely punctual, there is almost no lateness; , Every time you go to a shop, you must first sing a begging tune, probably to pray for the master's blessing and ask for money and the like, so that the host is happy, you can naturally get some rewards; 。 But no matter which one it is, what you see in their eyes is the desire for life, the love of life, and the hard work to live as hard as possible, they may be in debt because of gambling, or have to live on the streets because of the middle of the road, or because of a mistake in the natural and man-made disasters and make a fuss and have no money, but no matter which kind of life after the baptism of life, their spiritual will is not defeated, but after the tribulation, they are more tenacious, and even learn to make fun in suffering, you can also see a smile on their faces。 However, look at these beggars in front of them, their eyes are blank, as if all the essence of their bodies has been drained, not to mention the slightest enthusiasm for life seen in them, maybe their bodies are not dead, but their spirits are dead.

"Yes, normally speaking, there should be beggars in the imperial capital, or beggars who are so miserable, when beggars are in this role, it is better to die happily, a hundred, but they can't die. But it was Lin Sheng who heard their conversation and couldn't help but say. "Lian Chen, do you know that these people can be treated like today, to a large extent, it has something to do with you. ”

"What, how can it have anything to do with me?" Lian Chen felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, how could Zhongzhou, where he had just arrived today, have anything to do with this group of beggars? Master, you're not kidding, are you?

"To be precise, it is related to your father, you already know that your father did an earth-shattering event back then, this great event saved many people, so that many people owe your family kindness, but everything in the world is relative, saving some people, naturally to destroy some people, there are many people who are also ruined because of this matter, their wives are separated, and they escaped by luck, and then they did not escape the autumn reckoning of His Majesty the Emperor, these people are all sinners of the year, they were abolished and cultivated, and they were stripped of their official positions, and they couldn't even do it as a civilian, and they must atone for their sins in the form of begging on the streets, and they must not ask for death, otherwise they will be regarded as complicity and disobedienceBehind everyone begging here is a big family, it doesn't matter if they die themselves, they can also be happy, but the family behind them will also suffer, so they can't die, but these people were not a head and face figure in the emperor back then, the scenery is infinite, or in the officialdom or in the Holy Religion, they are all powerful figures, stomping their feet, the entire political pattern of the Great Yan Dynasty is going to be a big earthquake, but now it has fallen to this point, under the ups and downs, how many people can withstand such a blow?" This is Elder Fan who was afraid that Lian Chen would misunderstand, so he solved Lian Chen's confusion on the side.

"Then what did my father do back then?" Lian Chen grabbed Elder Fan's hand and said excitedly, "And what is his surname and name, why do you keep refusing to tell me!" However, Lin Sheng was secretive about this, no matter how much he asked, he couldn't ask why, and he also deduced that Elder Fan would tell him the cause and effect, and now that the Lord is here, he naturally wants to ask clearly.

"Hey......" Elder Fan sighed when he heard this, and said, "Child, it's not that I won't tell you, it's really that with your current ability, you are not qualified to know about this matter, otherwise, it will only bring you endless trouble, and even your life is in danger." You just need to know that the empire is not sorry for your father at all, your father dedicated his life to the empire, and the empire has given him corresponding glory and rewards. These beggars in front of them are proof of this. ”

"And when will I be qualified to know about it?" Lian Chen grabbed Elder Fan's hand tightly, and asked with some fear, Elder Fan said this can only explain two problems, first, the person who forced his father to go away and fly incognito back then or the power is extremely strong, and even with Elder Fan's strength, second, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, it is widely implicated, and the internal relationship is intertwined, and he wants to investigate this matter, and the final result may not be as good as he originally imagined, but these two points boil down to one point, that is, his strength is not strong enough, if he is strong enough, why be afraid of these difficulties and obstaclesLian Chen actually had a vague guess about this, but this question was to be sure, it was a mood of fear and anticipation.

"Child, you must know that when your father left, he was a half-step saint cultivator, and he was also the only half-step saint in our holy sect for a hundred years, and he was the most likely to break through the existence of a saint. Elder Fan didn't say what realm he wanted to achieve, but he told him the fact that a half-step saint might still not be enough to see in this matter. Therefore, if you want to find out the truth, what you have to do is to become a saint or a higher being.
