Chapter 9: The Girl's Heart of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion
The convoy went out of the city gate and went north along the country road, but fortunately, the road up the mountain was also quite spacious, and finally arrived at the hermitage of Lin Zhen, the previous head of the Lin family, Dongling Peak, near noon.
The summit of Tanglin Peak, three thatched huts, two vegetable gardens, and a stone table tell the story of Lin Zhen's fifteen years of seclusion.
"Grandpa, we've come to see you" Looking at the old man waving a hoe in the vegetable garden, Lin Chen shouted.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zhen turned his head, only to see the young man followed by two girls, the one on the left did know him, and the one on the right was a little raw, he tore off the towel on his shoulder and wiped his sweat, the old man leaned the hoe in his hand against the fence, and walked towards Lin Chen and the others,
"Grandpa, why have you fallen in love with growing vegetables lately?"
"It's not idle and have nothing to do, watching the vegetable seedlings you grow grow day by day, it's also very fulfilling, let's not talk about me, you kid, are you going to harm other people's girls?"
Seeing that Lin Zhen's words were pointed, Lin Chen was also helpless, and was about to explain, but Zhou Ting opened his mouth and said,
"Grandpa Lin, I am Zhou Guoqiang's granddaughter, Zhou Ting, Brother Lin Chen didn't harm me, but I would like to" bowed slightly to Lin Zhen, Zhou Ting was not pretentious, and said softly.
"It turned out to be Lao Zhou's granddaughter, she has become so beautiful, no wonder the last time he came to me, he kept telling me how beautiful and smart his granddaughter was, and now when I see it, it is really worth it," Lin Zhen praised with a smile, while looking at Lin Chen and Zhou Ting, and nodded constantly,
"Grandpa Lin, this is a special fruit from Mobei, Brother Yun asked me to bring it on purpose" Seeing Lin Zhen's expression, Mu Liuyan stepped forward directly and interrupted,
"Ah, okay, let's put it in the kitchen, I almost forgot about you" Lin Zhen has lived for such an old age, where can he not see Mu Liuyan's thoughts, the girl in front of her has also heard of Lin Chen's care over the years, in fact, she has already agreed in her heart, but Mu Liuyan's identity is a little special, involving Lin Chen's mother, which is a taboo in the Lin family, Lin Zhen is not easy to say clearly, and can only turn a blind eye and let things develop.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen to cook first" Mu Liuyan saw that Lin Zhen's face was flashing, and her mood was also gloomy, and she thought of sending medicine, so she naturally couldn't see it and was not upset, so she took the Lin family to the kitchen to work for lunch.
Watching Mu Liuyan walk towards the kitchen, thinking of Lin Chen's mother, Lin Zhen also sighed secretly, his four sons, I don't know where they got the ability, in order to pursue martial arts, they traveled to the mainland for three years, and when they returned, they brought back a daughter-in-law with such a strong background, but the two really loved each other, and when they returned to the Lin family, Lin Chen was already about to give birth, and after that, alas.
After seeing the god-like figure, Lin Zhen knew that the big family of Donghai County was not even an ant on the ground in the eyes of others, and between raising his hand, he was wiped out, but fortunately, Lin Chen's mother repeatedly pleaded and vowed never to return to the Lin family, which allowed the Lin family to be saved, but this made it difficult for his grandson Lin Yun to lose his mother since he was a child, alas.
"Cough cough cough" internal injuries were triggered by emotions, Lin Zhen covered his chest, couldn't help coughing, his expression was slightly hideous,
"Grandpa" Lin Chen stepped forward to support Lin Zhen,
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, it's old and sick" Lin Zhen squeezed out a smile on his face,
Lin Chen put the two boxes on the stone table and said, "Grandpa, in this jade box is the second-grade Xuandan, the Nine Turns Healing Pill, which Ting'er entrusted me to you, taking it can help you treat your injuries and restore your strength, and this wooden box, which contains a three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, which can nourish qi, Zhou Boberto I brought it to you."
"This"
"Grandpa Lin, you can accept it, what are you polite about the relationship between our Lin and Zhou families, and besides, this is also what my grandfather meant" Zhou Ting didn't wait for Lin Zhen to speak, and hurriedly said,
"Okay, then I'll take it, Ting'er, take me to say thank you to Lao Zhou" After a while, Lin Zhen didn't postpone it anymore, and bit the word "thank you" very hard, and it could be seen that Lin Zhen was really grateful to the Zhou family.
"Yes," Zhou Ting responded.
After accepting the pill, Lin Zhen was also in a good mood,
"Ting'er has to play for a few more days when she comes to the Lin family this time, although Donghai County is not big, there are a lot of famous things, Lin Chen, you also have to follow Ting'er more and protect her"
"Grandpa, I've only only entered the third order of Xuan, Ting'er is the fifth order, and I'm almost protected by her."
"Why is it still the third order, you kid was the third order last time you came, what did you do with it during this time" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Lin Zhen directly blew his beard and glared and scolded.
"Grandpa Lin, don't look at Brother Lin Chen's third order, yesterday the Zhang family's chief housekeeper Zhang Jun suffered a loss under Brother Lin Chen" Zhou Ting explained with a smile,
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Zhen looked at Lin Chen.
With a grateful look at Zhou Ting, Lin Chen nodded yes, and then said the whole process,
"You kid is lucky this time, I really happened to be bumped into by you, but when it's really time to fight, your third-order Xuan power will definitely suffer a big loss, isn't there still a period of time to welcome the New Year's Day, you have to give me a hurry to improve my strength" Lin Zhen praised and depreciated, and taught in a deep voice,
"Grandpa, I will work hard to ensure that the New Year's Day will not disgrace our Lin family"
"Okay, you can guarantee it" Seeing the young man's resolute face raised slightly, Lin Zhen also relieved himself, and Zhou Ting, who was sitting on the side, looked at Lin Chen, but was a little stupid.
A burst of appetizing aroma wafted from the kitchen,
"Oh, it's so fragrant! Yan'er is here today, I'm blessed, I'm tired of eating those coarse tea and light rice I made" Lin Zhen looked at the kitchen, inhaled the fragrance vigorously, and said happily,
"Grandpa Lin, you can go back to the back mountain, we will live together," said Mu Liuyan, who came from the kitchen with two plates of exquisite side dishes.
"Forget it" Lin Zhen seemed to think of something, and his happy expression returned to normal,
"Isn't Grandpa Lin going back to the Lin family?" Zhou Ting on the side also asked puzzled,
"No, I'll go back, but not now"
Lin Zhen raised his hand and pointed to the tombstone in the distance, and said calmly: "My old friend has fought with me all my life, and I feel sorry for him to be alone here, when I really decide to leave one day, I will go back to the Lin family" Speaking of this, Lin Zhen's tone was a little dull, and his figure was slightly rickety,
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Lin Zhen said to the three people: "Don't talk about this, eat and eat."
...
Just as the four of them were eating, on top of this Dongling Peak, another group of people was quietly approaching, the five masked people, all of whom were middle-level cultivators, centered on the four people on the stone table, hidden everywhere on the peak, although Mu Liuyan had already known, but she didn't know what the purpose of this black-clothed masked person was, she still ate and watched the changes.
On the road down the mountain, a figure moved quickly like a ghost, and before the person arrived, the voice came, "Li Jing of the Li family came uninvited, and looked at Haihan, the head of the Lin family" I saw the blue Xuanli wings behind the middle-aged man in a blue robe in the distance, and came to the stone table in an instant,
"Xuanli Wings! Earth Xuanqiang Strong!"
"But the Li family in the imperial capital?" Although Lin Zhen is in the East China Sea, he still knows something about the major families in the imperial capital.
"Exactly, I am the housekeeper of the Li family, following the eldest son of the Li family to be a guest at the Guo family in Donghai County, the eldest prince inadvertently caught a glimpse of the girl's face in the morning, shocked by the heavens, and had the intention of getting acquainted with him, the eldest prince set up a banquet in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion tonight, and specially sent me to invite the girl, and I hope the girl can appreciate the face" Li Jing is neither humble nor arrogant, holding his chest with his left hand, putting his right hand behind him, bowing slightly to Zhou Ting,
"Me?" Zhou Ting was a little caught off guard, and the jade pointed at herself,
"Exactly, your friends can also go with you" Li Jing nodded again and said,
"Ting'er, the face of the Li family in the imperial capital still has to be given" Lin Zhen said softly,
"But.." Zhou Ting looked at Lin Chen with some embarrassment,
"Go, Ting'er, let's go together, I heard that the shark fin of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion is a must in Donghai County, this time someone has a treat, but you have to taste it, and there are so many of us, I am not afraid of what will happen to him." Lin Chen saw Zhou Ting's gaze and said persuasively,
"I want to eat the osmanthus cake of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, I ate it once last time, and I heard that the eldest son of the Li family is not as romantic as other sons in the imperial capital, and his conduct is very good" Mu Liuyan thought for a while, and also said on the side,
"This girl is right" Li Jing nodded on the side,
"That, okay" Zhou Ting finally agreed,
"Thank you girl for agreeing, then I, oh yes, the five hiding nearby, it's time to show up. ”
Locked by Li Jing's Xuan Li Qi machine, the five figures did not hide, and came out from all over the peak, all dressed in black and masked, gathered on the side, and the Xuan Power in their hands was condensed into soldiers, and they were the five Xuan Strong
Lin Chen never thought that there were five people hiding around, and it seemed that it was going to be unfavorable to him.
"Who are you?" Lin Zhen asked
The five of them didn't answer, they shot directly, and came at Lin Chen and the others.
"Spirit Rank Superior Martial Arts, Breaking the Waves" The blue light flashed, and the five black-clothed people were all blocked by the blue light, and the black-clothed people in the front suddenly dodged as if they were distorted and blurred when the blue light approached, but they were still injured in the arm, and the five people saw that the situation was not good, and they scattered and retreated, disappearing without a trace.
"The leader was injured by me, and he won't come back in a short time, and my task has been completed, everyone, then I'll go back first" Li Jing didn't chase deeply, and hugged his fist at Zhou Ting, Lin Chen and others, and the Xuan Li gushed out from behind and turned into blue wings, and the wings swung and flew into the distance.
"Dixuan Realm, it's good to fly" Looking at the black dots in the distance, Lin Chen also sighed,
"You are really optimistic, you haven't figured out the identity of the man in black who wanted to assassinate us just now" Mu Liuyan looked at Lin Chen, who was distracted, and smiled slightly,
"As soon as they appeared, they were beaten away and didn't speak, where did I know their identities"
Lin Zhen, who was only on the side, recalled the figure of the black-clothed man who had just taken the lead to transform his body, as if he had seen it in someone a long time ago, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Grandpa, since those men in black already know about this place, then this place is no longer safe, why don't you go back to the Lin family with us first?"
"No, I know of a hidden retreat, and this time with the help of Xuandan, I am ready to retreat to attack the peak of the Xuan, the three of you go back first."
"Then grandpa, be careful yourself" Seeing Lin Zhen's refusal, Lin Chen had no choice, so he took the two girls to the convoy and went down the mountain.
