Chapter 9 Lin Zaiwang (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
On the night of the night talk, Liu Xing wanted to ask where he went, but Guo Zhen's mother and son kept silent, and only said that they would know when they arrived the next day. Liu Xing received too much information that night, and his mind was confused for a while, so he could only stop asking.
The next day, the sky was not completely bright, the Lin Mansion was still immersed in the morning light, and a few servants were cleaning the leaves in the house, and the rustling sound of sweeping the floor was particularly loud in this silent early morning.
On the main road of the Lin Mansion, two small figures walked side by side, one thin and one fat, one tall and one short, it was Liu Xing and Lin Zun.
Since waking up yesterday, Liu Xing has been resting in the guest garden, and has not walked around the mansion, and today is the first time to see the whole picture of the Lin Mansion. Now they are walking on the main road of the forest house, the rockery ponds on both sides of the main road are scattered, the water is murmuring, the bamboo forest is verdant, and the birds are singing.
It's early winter, and the mist on the water in the early morning makes it look like a fairyland.
As far as the eye can see, the building is magnificent, the vermilion wall is gray tile, the palace pavilion is continuous and scattered, and it is more magnificent and luxurious in the morning light.
Liu Xing had never seen such a rich family, and couldn't help but say:
"Brother Lin Zun, I know your family is rich, but I don't know it's so rich."
Lin Zun yawned, sleepy-eyed, and said:
"What's the use of more silver taels, just numbers. ”
Liu Xing's face twitched.
After walking for a while, there was some noise ahead, and I listened carefully to the sound of metal grinding and colliding. When I got closer, it turned out to be a large circular martial arts training ground, about a hundred feet wide, and more than 100 soldiers were practicing.
The soldiers were uniformly dressed in tiger striped black armor, some held knives, some held sticks, and their steps were sonorous and powerful, and there was a sound on the ground, bringing up the yellow sand, which was not mighty. Liu Xing saw it in his eyes, his blood boiled, could it be that Lin Zun brought me to train?
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader among the soldiers saw Lin Zun coming, so he hugged his fist at him to show respect. When Lin Zun saw this, he suddenly fell asleep, waved his hand at the leader, and shouted:
"Uncle Zhong, it's early!"
"Third Young Master, you're pretty early today."
"Well, go to the Jingshou Hall and see my father!"
"Then I'll say hello to the general, okay?"
"No problem, Daddy must be happy!"
"Lin Zun wants me to see his father, and his father should be dead," Liu Xing thought so, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, he was an orphan, although there was a small episode of the golden silk cocoon, but it was not sure that it was left by his parents, and it could also be from the protection of a close relative. Liu Xing lost both parents, while Lin Zun was a single parent. Liu Xing couldn't help but have a sense of sympathy.
After Lin Zun and Uncle Zhong said a few words, they led Liu Xing to continue walking, and a group of young people walked in front of him, dressed in white and holding a long sword in his hand, strutting with his head held high, full of spirit, as if he was going to the martial arts field to train.
The first boy is slightly shorter, but his face is full of pride, which is quite funny in the crowd. When the short boy saw Lin Zun, his face was sarcastic, and he said:
"Yo yo, it's rare that today, pigs can get up so early. ”
After the young man in white finished speaking, several vassals behind him immediately laughed, but a few people showed embarrassment, and they should be afraid of Lin Zun's identity.
When Lin Zun heard this, he glanced at them, and when he passed by, he was looking ahead, and he didn't refute a word from beginning to end. The young man in white didn't expect to be ignored, he was a little annoyed, and said angrily:
"Hmph, there is no waste taught by your father, Lin Jiabai raised you so fat!"
Lin Zun's figure stagnated slightly, and continued to move forward.
The child in the crowd showed an unbearable look on his face, walked to the young man in white, and whispered:
"Sedum, it's a bit too much. ”
"Lin Fang, I don't need you to teach me how to do things, just stay there!" The young man in white was awe-inspiring, looking at Lin Zun's eyes full of mockery, and continued:
"You waste, you're sixteen years old, and you haven't entered the first realm yet, it's really a shame for the Lin family, and you are only worthy of doing chores in your mother's medical hall!"
When Liu Xing heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and then retorted:
"This young master Sedum doesn't rinse his mouth early in the morning, it stinks. ”
The young man in white glanced at the young man who was talking beside Lin Zun, and he was quite angry, with a coarse cloth and a short beating, quite cold. remembered the rumors in the house yesterday, saying that Lin Zun saved a young man in the market, and wanted him to live in Xikeyuan all the time, eating and drinking for nothing, which caused rumors in the house.
Lin Zun and Liu Xing have too much difference in status between them.
Lin Jingtian was even more disdainful in his heart, thinking that Liu Xing was a villain to climb rich, and sneered:
"You are a house slave with a foreign surname that has been circulating in the house in the past few days, Lin Zun brought back outside, you are also worthy of speaking in front of me! Be careful that I cut off your tongue!"
"That is, in front of Brother Tian, he dares to speak nonsense, he doesn't know how to be respectful and inferior, and he has no education!" The vassal young man behind him tried his best to curry, and his words were full of sarcasm.
"You..." Liu Xing wanted to continue scolding back, but was stopped by Lin Zun, Lin Zun looked sad and said softly.
"After all, it's still my Lin family, let's go, don't see them in general. Seeing that Lin Zun did not have the slightest sense of anger, Liu Xing was admired.
Lin Zun continued to move forward, never looking at this group of teenagers with his eyes. Looking at Lin Zun's back, one of the children who was good at flattery saw Lin Zun ignoring Lin Jingtian, his body moved silently, and he was about to teach a lesson when he stepped forward, but he never thought that Lin Zun seemed to have eyes behind his back, and when his fist was about to reach Lin Zun's heart, Lin Zun turned his head and shouted angrily:
"You dare?!"
The sound is like thunder, and the waves are rolling.
The young man who shot suddenly had chest tightness and stagnation, and the breath he had just mobilized was beating in the meridians, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost fainted. The young man's face was frightened, and he thought to himself, "This sound wave is comparable to that of a fivefold realm martial artist, he... Isn't he a waste?"
"Lin Jingtian, don't you take your followers and get out of here, do you want me to call your father over?"
Lin Jingtian on the side was also shocked by this sound wave, stunned for a long time, and was drunk by Lin Zun before he woke up and fled with a group of teenagers.
Lin Zun was silent, and continued to walk forward step by step, Liu Xing looked at his back, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head and followed quickly.
......
The Jingshou Hall is different from the vermilion wall of the Lin Mansion, it is cyan, and in the middle of the two red copper doors together, there is a big inscription of Shou Word, and before it is approached, bursts of sandalwood come out of the house.
Lin Zun and Liu Xing stopped in front of the Jing Shou Hall.
Lin Zun stood in front of the door and said:
"Inside the Jingshou Hall is the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Lin family, and my father is also inside, today I will bring you over to meet him and give him pillar incense. I think you have some doubts about what has happened these days, and I will answer them for you today. ”
"Huh?" Liu Xinghu asked.
"Once you're inside, be quiet. Lin Zun didn't answer, he said to himself, and pushed the door in.
Liu Xing saw the tablet inside five zhang wide and three zhang high, and there was a small candle in front of each spirit card, and the lights were flickering. The incense in the house is vigorous. Liu Xing couldn't help but look solemn, and together with Lin Zun, he burned incense and knelt down.
Lin Zun had words.
"Dad, on the first day of junior high school today, my son came to see you. I also brought Liu Xing, who has been talking to you, do you think he is very suitable?"
"Hmm, what's appropriate?" Liu Xing was surprised
"Alas..."Lin Zunlu sighed sadly.
There was silence for a while.
"Uncle Ye, please go out for a while, don't let anyone hear us, and don't let anyone in, including the mansion master," Lin Zun replied.
Just when Monk Liu Xing's second zhang couldn't figure out his head and wanted to ask who Uncle Ye was, in the dark corner of the Jingshou Hall, where the candlelight could not be illuminated, a figure moved, and the next moment, the door of the Jingshou Hall slowly closed, and at the same time, Liu Xing felt that the air around him had become viscous, like invisible water.
"Absolute sound array, three-star formation. Uncle Ye's spell cannot be broken unless a strong person in the Xuanhai Realm is powerhoused. So that I can speak to you with peace of mind. Lin Zun turned his head to look at Liu Xing and smiled.
"Is that also a cultivator?" Liu Xing was shocked again.
"Well, Uncle Ye is a warlock, a kind of cultivator, and both fighting and defending are launched in formations. Just now, my sonic attack used the talisman that Uncle Ye gave me. Lin Zun paused, pointed to one of the spirit cards and said:
"That's my father, the former Aoki general of the Lin family, Lin is in sight. ”
Liu Xing nodded, Lin Zun was silent for a while, as if he was brewing emotions, he simply sat cross-legged, and motioned for Liu Xing to sit down as well, and continued:
"My father is one of the top ten generals of the Zeshui Imperial Court, Aoki Shogun, and he has cultivated to the realm of perfection. As early as the age of eighteen, he was already a powerhouse in the Xuanhai Realm, and he broke ten demon cities in a year, and there were more than 100 demon generals who died under his Izumo stick, and he was in the limelight for a while. Therefore, he was soon conscripted by the imperial court to be the general of the forbidden army in the imperial city, and my father led his Tianshu army to continue to be invincible on the battlefield, breaking hundreds of demon cities on the border, killing thousands of generals, and pacifying the border demon disaster in five years, so that the demon clan was terrified. Since then, the border has been comfortable for several years. ”
"The so-called one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, so our family has also enjoyed a few years of comfortable and wealthy life, after the demon disaster is calmed down, my father does not have to fight everywhere, and the time with us is much more than ever, that is my happiest time. But the good times didn't last long, and there was also a cultivator genius among the remnants of the demon clan who fled, who practiced into a demon pill, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he could already compete with the Jidi realm of the human race, and the demon clan thought that he was a strong demon born in Fengtian, and that genius was called Fengtian Demon Venerable. ”
"The demon clan has revived, and the troops are ready to fight. Ten years ago, under the leadership of Fengtian Demon Venerable, the Demon Clan captured hundreds of cities of the Human Race in three months, and the border was once again devastated!"
"My father was ordered to go out to fight, and the Fengtian Demon Venerable fought on the White Moon Plain for ten days and ten nights, both were injured without knowing the victory or defeat, and finally with the cooperation of Uncle Ye, he sealed the demon Venerable on the spot with the Tiangang Earth Array, and the border was peaceful again. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Zun's adoring expression turned lonely, his eyes were slightly red, and his fists were clenched. Liu Xing moved to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and continued to listen to him.
"Back at the imperial court, I didn't expect that the dog emperor emperor was not satisfied with this result. thinks that if my father didn't do his best, with my father's undefeated record, the demon venerable should be killed, not sealed, and left behind trouble. But I read that my father has made a lot of contributions to the court, and he still named my father the general of the demon town, and the official is a general. My father received the reward and prepared to return to Lin Mansion with his detachment to recuperate from his wounds. ”
"But when they were passing through Yashan, they were ambushed by unknown powerhouses! My father was seriously injured after a battle with Fengtian Demon Venerable. At that time, in addition to my father, there were three Xuanhai Realm generals Uncle Ye, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Ouyang, as well as the only remaining fifty elite cavalry troops, such an army could slaughter the city with combat power, but..."
"The other party is two masters of the Jidi Realm, the Jidi Realm and the Xuanhai Realm are like clouds and mud, turning over their hands, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea. What's more, the other party is two. In an instant, my father's cavalry regiment was all wiped out, Uncle Ouyang and their desperate resistance could only be delayed for a while, seeing that they could no longer hold on, at the last moment, my father desperately dragged the enemy with the secret method of two injuries of the Lin clan, and Uncle Ye even teleported Uncle Ye and them back with the space formation at the cost of half-life cultivation.... But by the time we got there, my dad was already ..... Somewhere else!"
Lin Zun looked at his father's spiritual position and burst into tears.
"We've tried a lot of things, but we still haven't been able to get my dad's head back!"
Recalling the time when he was guarding his father's spirit, Lin Zun was unspeakably sad in the face of the headless corpse, his throat was like a boulder, and he couldn't breathe. Those days were the last thing he wanted to recall about the past, as if it was an overnight age, and the innocent and cheerful fat boy was silent and changed his temperament greatly.
With a bang, Lin Zun's fists slammed heavily on the ground, blood oozing from his fingers, he lowered his head and sobbed, his shoulders shaking helplessly.
"At that time, my father's cultivation was already at the peak of the realm, and no one in the court could surpass it except for those few people who were in retreat, so after my father's death, there were people inside and outside the house who coveted my father's cultivation method, and they pretended to mourn in front of my mother for three days, but in fact, they wanted to inquire about my father's method, hum, shameless villain!
Liu Xing listened on the sidelines, extremely sympathetic, and also despised those fake good people, and suddenly remembered that in the market, those simple peasants who came and went straight were much more noble than the villains among these nobles, and suddenly sighed. Then he asked:
"Have you ever thought it was the royal family?"
"At the beginning, we also suspected that Cuitang also sent someone to secretly investigate for several years, sacrificing several groups of people, and ruled out the possibility, besides, my father is loyal to the imperial court, why did the royal family put my father to death? ”
"Our Lin family has tried our best to secretly investigate for several years, and there are also a few suspects, but in the end it is determined that none of them are not. ”
"Moreover, since the death of my father, the Lin family has never had a general, and the favor of the court is decreasing day by day. The jade spirit stones awarded this year are two-thirds less than last year's, resulting in a little powerless in the Fuzhong to cultivate potential newcomers. ”
"What is the Jade Spirit Stone?"
"An ore unique to the royal family, which contains a large amount of spiritual power, which is used to assist in cultivation, and get twice the result with half the effort. In order to reward those who have made great contributions to the imperial court, the royal family will give a certain amount of jade spirit stones to each Hou Mansion every year, and then distribute it by the Hou Mansion itself. But this year, hehe, the number of jade spirit stones given has not only decreased, but the quality is very poor, jade spirit stones are divided into four levels of heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow according to the purity of their spiritual power from high to low, and the jade spirit stones we got this year are barely counted as yellow-rank jade spirit stones. In previous years, when Daddy was here, a large number of earth-level jade spirit stones were sent to the house!"
"Hmph, cross the river and tear down the bridge!" Lin Zun was extremely angry, and the flesh on his face trembled.
"I won't give up" Lin Zun looked up at his father's spirit card suddenly, his eyes were red fiercely, "I will definitely find those two people, the hatred of killing my father is not the same as the sky!"
"Xingzi, I have a reluctant request" Lin Zun turned his head and looked at Liu Xing again, with a serious expression.
Liu Xing blurted out:
"Please say, if I can help, I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire"
Although he knows that there is a golden silk cocoon in his body, and his relatives should also be a strong family, but everything is unknown, except for his strength, he has no ability, Liu Xing doesn't know how he can help the Lin family, but the Lin family saved his life, and also saved his grandmother, as far as this kindness is concerned, to take his own life, Liu Xing has no complaints.
"On the day my father died, he left a message for my mother with his mind, but my mother couldn't open it, maybe only you can interpret it. Lin Zun looked at Liu Xing and said calmly.
"Why is this, I am not a martial artist in the first realm, how can I interpret the jade slip left by your father?"
"Because you have excellent roots and bones, and the meridians are innate spiritual veins. The jade slip left by my father can't be opened by a strong person above the Ji Di realm, so my mother and I want to help you become a strong person in the Ji Di realm and open the jade slip left by my father, besides..."
Lin Zun smiled, his face showed pride, and said:
"My dad is a martial spirit!
