Chapter 10: Elders of the Lin Clan
Three months later, the Lin ancestral hall, a temple made of bluestones, covered with thatch. The rain kept dripping down the grass roots, making a dripping sound, and there was a faint mist on the roof of the temple. Obscuring the full view of the temple premises. Inside the temple is a Nanmu table for worship.
Nanmu, also called Xuanyin wood, is born cold, there is a trace of Xuanyin cold, the warrior wears it on the body for a long time, it can enhance the cultivation of the warrior, improve the strong horizontal of the body, generally only some big clans or sects have the ability to buy this kind of wood, I can't imagine that there are such rare things in the ancestral hall of the Lin clan.
On the table of Kusunoki are some fruits and aromas for worship. The two red waxes brought a hint of light to the originally dim ancestral hall, and the fire was shining. A statue glows golden in the light of the fire.
The statue is in the shape of a human, with a clear face, a charm in the eyes, and a majesty in the eyes. It's like a king in the world. Looking down on the common people. An ancient long sword in his hand emitted a faint golden light. There was a burst of murderous aura coming from the sword, although it was small, but it filled the entire temple with a sense of mystery.
Outside the temple is a green meadow with budding buds. Rejuvenate. An ancient tree with ten people in its arms rustling with the spring breeze blowing. The thin branches of red leaves, bent like a swimming dragon, emit a faint red light. Illuminating the three old men below, the old men sat side by side in a triangle, and in the center was the patriarch of the village. To the left of the patriarch sat an old man with a majestic face, looking not angry and arrogant. It's a little scary to watch.
On the right is a man dressed in a shabby robe, with a sloppy face and a beard stained with after-dinner soup. The two eyes seemed to have never woken up, and they didn't look like the elders of the clan. It's like a beggar begging for food on the side of the road.
At this time, the patriarch stood up from the side of the two elders and said.
I have called you to the ancestral hall today because I have a great announcement to make. This important event is related to the progress and achievements of your martial arts cultivation in the future.
Hearing this, the teenagers sitting around below showed a curious look on their faces and began to talk to each other.
One of the young men said: The big thing that the patriarch just said, I don't know what kind of big thing it will be, can make the patriarch so excited.
Yes, I've never seen a patriarch like this before! It seems that this great event will bring a lot of benefits to our cultivation in the future.
Well, I have the same opinion as you, I have been staying in the Forging Body Realm Sixfold for almost two years, if this major event is really beneficial to our cultivation, maybe I will be able to break through the 12th Forging
The body is sixfold. When I reach the Sevenfold, I will be able to speak in the clan. Ha ha...
The teenagers said whimsically.
Be quiet, and the old man will tell you what this big deal is. The patriarch spoke.
Hearing this, the teenagers suddenly became much quieter. His eyes were fixed on the patriarch. Looking forward to the great things that the patriarch said.
This important thing is that this morning, the two elders beside me will lead Lin Shen, Lin Hu, and Lin Shen to participate in the selection of the ancient clan's martial arts. And the rest of you will also follow to visit and study the ancient tribe, and at that time, maybe some of you will have some insights and break through the current bottleneck. That will be a great opportunity for you. In addition, along the way, you will encounter some low-level demon beasts, if any of you can kill these demon beasts and absorb the essence of the demon beasts' flesh, it will also be able to promote the growth of your cultivation. If you are lucky enough, if you can find the demon pill from the body of the demon beast, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation. This trip to the ancient clan is a hundred benefits and no harm for you, and you must cherish it. Don't miss the opportunity, but do you understand?
After the patriarch finished speaking, he only heard the young man below answer with excitement on his face, understand, patriarch, we will live up to the patriarch's expectations.
Very well, now I would like to ask the two patriarchs to talk about the rules before this departure. After the patriarch finished speaking, he turned his head, looked at the somewhat sloppy old man and said, Elder Pear, you can say a few words.
This elder's name is Li Changfeng, and he is a martial artist of the innate realm, I saw the old man say a little casually, the old man has nothing to say, let's let Elder Qiu say it, after speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped asking about the world.
The patriarch smiled a little embarrassedly, looked at the old man next to him, and said, Elder Qiu, can you say a few words.
This person's name is Qiuyun Mountain, and he is also a martial artist of the Innate Realm. I saw the old man slowly stand up, with a look of majesty on his face, and spoke.
Today, we are entrusted by the patriarch to lead you to participate in the martial arts test of the ancient clan, before leaving, the old man put forward two requirements:
First of all, along the way, you must listen to me and Elder Li, when to rest, what kind of road to take, and whether to fight or withdraw when you encounter demon beasts. These must be arranged by us, and if any of you are disobedient and lose your life, don't blame us.
The second point, if you meet a martial artist on the road, you are not allowed to stare directly at the martial artist, let alone discuss the martial artist in the ear, some masters have a very strange temper, if you look at others, talk behind your back, and if you are angry with the master, the old man will not care. That's what the old man wants to say, and you all understand,
Understood, the teenagers replied in unison.
Okay, since this is the case, the old man has nothing to say, after the old man finished speaking, he looked at the patriarch and said, does the patriarch have anything to explain?"
The patriarch smiled and said, No. Everything will be done according to Elder Qiu's wishes.
In that case, you should all go back and prepare, and gather here at the ancestral hall in the morning. It's all gone.
As the elder finished speaking, the young men left the ancestral hall one after another. On the way out, we were still discussing this trip to the ancient clan. A look of anticipation bloomed on their faces. 、
Lin Fan left the ancestral hall with the boys. Yang Ling'er was not in the team this time.
At this time, the patriarch walked forward with a smile on his face and said to the two elders, this time it will trouble the two elders, and the old man has thanked the elders in advance.
The patriarch doesn't have to wait with me to be polite, if it wasn't for the patriarch to save him, I'm afraid that our brothers would have been killed by the enemy in the Dry Soul Mountain, this time it will be a small reward for our brother's saving grace to the patriarch.
The elder said this seriously, it was just a gesture that day, how dare he want the elder to repay him. The patriarch said.
Okay, this matter is decided, and our brother still has to go to prepare, so he will be out of company first.
After speaking, he kicked at the pear elder next to him and scolded in his mouth. Get up, old ghost, I don't know if you haven't slept in this life or if you slept less in your previous life, and you want to make up for the sleep in your previous life. It's a fucking pig.
After the elder said this, even the patriarch next to him couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth slightly, forced a smile, and stepped forward to say. Yes, Elder Pear, you see that this morning is almost here, so you should get up and get ready.
After the patriarch finished speaking, the pear elder on the ground yawned, stood up, and sighed again. Said to Elder Pear beside him, let's go.
These two elders were not originally from the Lin clan, once in the process of being chased and killed by the enemy, when they fled to the Dry Soul Mountain in the north of the Great Wilderness, they were seriously injured, just right, when the patriarch went to the Dry Soul Mountain to look for a medicinal herb, he found them, brought them back to the clan, and helped them heal their injuries, in order to repay the patriarch's saving grace, so he stayed in the clan and served as the elder of the Lin clan.
