Chapter Forty-Nine: The Place of Stiffness
Lin Chen and Mu Xiaochuan's residence was in the same building they had seen when they went up the mountain before, with green bricks with cornices, elm furniture painted with bright red paint, and a few unknown red flowers blooming very delicately in the flower garden.
Lin Chen's place is the guest room used by the Wang family to entertain guests, a wooden bed, two chairs, and a window for ventilation, which is relatively simple, but it is also clean. Everyone is a monk, so they don't pay much attention to these things outside the body. It is enough to have a tile above his head to cover the rain, so there is nothing to slack in Lin Chen's opinion.
Mu Xiaochuan next door to Lin Chen, Mu Xiaochuan originally had another place to live in the Wang family, but because Mu Xiaochuan lived or died, he had to live next door to Lin Chen. said that she wanted to enhance her relationship with Lin Chen, but Wang Xiaoya was not easy to force, so she had to temporarily arrange for someone to clean up the room next to Lin Chen. But fortunately, there are many people who come to clean up on weekdays, so it is not very troublesome to clean up.
After everything was arranged, Wang Xiaoya found an excuse to leave, saying that she was going to arrange a banquet in the evening, and she would set up a banquet in the front hall tonight to entertain Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, who finally got a little free time, was finally able to rest for a while, since he fell off the cliff and met Zhu Yuanzheng, Lin Chen had not rested well. This is all spent fighting with people and rushing on the road. Even if the monk's body is much stronger than the average person, he will definitely not be able to withstand such a toss. So as soon as Lin Chen's head touched the pillow, he fell asleep groggily.
In his sleep, Lin Chen seemed to hear someone calling his name in a daze, but perhaps because he was too tired, Lin Chen didn't wake up. I slept until the lights were on at night, and then I opened my sleepy eyes at a rapid knock on the door.
"Miss Wang, I don't know why you're in such a hurry?" opened the door, looking at Lin Chen, who was wearing a white pleated skirt with a ruddy face, and a girl's unique fragrance came to her nose, obviously Wang Xiaoya came here after carefully dressing up. But it's a pity that Lin Chen doesn't seem to be interested in her, he still just greeted politely, and there is no other look in his eyes.
Wang Xiaoya saw that Lin Chen's eyes had not changed at all, and she was secretly annoyed. He worked so hard to dress up just to attract the attention of the other party, but Lin Chen didn't seem to see it at all, no matter how it was put on that girl's body, I am afraid it would not be comfortable.
But fortunately, Wang Xiaoya is from everyone's background after all, so it goes without saying that she has a good cultivation. Although there was a look of anger in her eyes, it was only a momentary thing that she hid well.
"Brother Lin, the banquet is about to start, I specially came to call you to participate"
"Oh?!Thank you, Miss Wang. It's just that I'm in a hurry for the next few days, and my body is really a little uncomfortable, so I still won't go to this banquet," Lin Chen said without forgetting to pretend to be tired, and no one felt that Lin Chen was cheating.
"But Brother Lin, this banquet is just for you, if you don't go, my father" Wang Xiaoya didn't continue, just looked at Lin Chen in the room with a pitiful look. However, her meaning is also clear, it is nothing more than that if Lin Chen doesn't go, Wang Wanfu will be a little unbearable.
"Well, this is Lin Mou's inconsiderate thinking. It's just that I'm really struggling to go, and even if I reluctantly go, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself. I think it's better to forget it, anyway, there will be a lot of bothering nobles in the future, I just hope that Miss Wang and the head of the Wang family will not shirk when the time comes" Lin Chen didn't seem to want Wang Xiaoya to come in, and the two of them talked like this.
"Since that's the case, then I can't force Brother Lin" Wang Xiaoya lowered her head, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with both hands, and seemed to be very aggrieved. But then she suddenly raised her head and said, "By the way, Brother Lin, I have a few bottles of Guyuan Peiben's pill here, you can take them and try them" After speaking, Wang Xiaoya flipped it over with one hand, and a white jade bottle appeared in her hand.
"Thank you, Miss Wang" Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally took the pill. Lin Chen flipped it with one hand again, and the pill was included in the Nayuan ring.
"Well, then I won't bother Brother Lin. You rest early, remember to take the pill," Wang Xiaoya said gently, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Then I won't send it" Lin Chen said politely as usual, watching Wang Xiaoya walk out of more than ten meters, then closed the courtyard door and turned around to go back to the house.
Wang Xiaoya, who left Lin Chen's residence, did not immediately return to the banquet hall, but turned her head to look at the small courtyard where Lin Chen was, and after confirming that Lin Chen had returned to the house, she turned around and went in another direction.
"Hehe, it's kind of interesting!" Lin Chen in the room played with the pill in his hand, this was a snow-white pill with a whole body, and the rich danxiang was constantly emanating, just this danxiang made people feel refreshed when they smelled it. If such an elixir is put on the market, it will be worth three or five star stones, to say the least.
However, Lin Chen didn't seem to be ready to take it, but suddenly shook it with one hand and kneaded the pill in his hand into powder. The snow-white powder continued to scatter down the gap between Lin Chen's fingers, and then disappeared when the wind blew it.
There is indeed a problem with this Wang family, but I don't know if Mu Xiaochuan is with them or Lin Chen sat alone in the room, his brows furrowed, obviously the current Wang family was still a fog in Lin Chen's eyes.
Just like the pill that Wang Xiaoya seemed to have kindly sent just now, there seems to be nothing wrong with the pill itself. However, when Lin Chen used the Spirit Eye Technique to observe this pill, he found that there was a faint trace of gray energy in the pill. This trace of ash gas was exactly the same as the ash gas that Lin Chen had found on those plants before, but now the ash gas was mixed with the rich aroma of the elixir, and it was difficult to detect.
In fact, what worries Lin Chen the most is that he is worried that he has been unconsciously caught in the Tao, otherwise why would Lin Chen sleep so sweetly this night? And if it weren't for Wang Xiaoya's violent knock on the door, I'm afraid Lin Chen wouldn't know how long he would sleep. According to common sense, it is normal for Lin Chen to sleep heavily after working for such a long time.
But don't forget that Lin Chenke was a monk in the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the monk's rest was generally based on meditation, and even when he meditated, he watched and listened to all directions, and the slightest disturbance within a certain range would arouse their vigilance. But Lin Chen fell asleep this time, which was too weird. But Lin Chen thinks that since he arrived at the Wang family, he has not been in contact with anything that should not be contacted, but how to explain this situation now?
Lin Chen sighed softly and put away the jade bottle sent by Wang Xiaoya at hand. I didn't expect that I had just arrived in Tiger City, and I encountered such a thing, and I really didn't know what would happen next.
Lin Chen looked through the window at the unclear night sky outside, and the stars dotted the dark night. Lin Chen decided to test Mu Xiaochuan next door, if Mu Xiaochuan and the other party were in the same group, then his situation would be even more dangerous. If Mu Xiaochuan is not, then you might as well ask Mu Xiaochuan what he thinks.
Mu Xiaochuan's room was next door to Lin Chen, so Lin Chen only needed to take two steps to find Mu Xiaochuan. After half a cup of tea, Lin Chen was already sitting in Mu Xiaochuan's room, and the two were drinking tea and chatting at this time.
"Xiao Mu, I see that your brows are deeply locked, with a hint of melancholy in your eyes, I don't know if there is anything to worry about, you might as well talk to me, maybe I can help one or two" Lin Chen put down the tea in his hand, looked at Mu Xiaochuan and said.
The tea that Mu Xiaochuan brought to entertain Lin Chen was naturally not the tea in the Wang family's guest room, but the tea set and tea leaves that he had in his own Nayuan ring. Of course, the water is still the water of the Wang family, but the tea leaves and tea utensils have been replaced with silver.
"Hey, Brother Chen, there are indeed some things in my heart that really annoy me. Mu Xiaochuan looked at Lin Chen and stopped talking, but in the end he still seemed to feel like he was saying, "Brother Chen, take a closer look at my eyes, are they different from ordinary people?"
Mu Xiaochuan said and opened a pair of eyes wide, black pupils, white whites, and bloodshots, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
After some temptation just now, Lin Chen can probably determine that Mu Xiaochuan should not be the same as the Wang family. But be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Boat, what if Mu Xiaochuan just pretended to be like this, but actually came to test Lin Chen?
Therefore, Lin Chen just tried to widen his eyes, wanting to see something from Mu Xiaochuan's eyes. "Well, in your eyes, I don't see anything but eye stains."
"Uh" Mu Xiaochuan blinked his eyes in embarrassment, maybe he was too involved in opening his eyes just now, and now he felt that his eyes were a little sour. Stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, then turned around and said, "Brother Chen, you still don't believe me! But it doesn't matter, anyone in your position will be like this."
"Xiao Mu, what are you talking about I don't understand?" Lin Chen was startled, and his right index finger unconsciously pressed on the Na Yuan ring in his left hand, where there was his mace.
"Hehe, Brother Chen, you can clearly see that I have Yin Qi into my body, why don't you just say it? Are you suspecting that I am in league with them?" Mu Xiaochuan naturally noticed Lin Chen's small movements, but he didn't break it, but continued, "Brother Chen, I have Yin Qi into my body, and it won't take long for it to become stiff." What do you think I mean by plotting against you again? Besides, how can I, Mu Xiaochuan, be the kind of person who will take revenge?"
"Yin Qi enters the body, is it stiff? This Wang family is really weird" Lin Chen stood up suddenly, his face full of shock. Lin Chen was completely convinced that Mu Xiaochuan and the Wang family were by no means the same people, because the gloomy and hatred in Mu Xiaochuan's eyes could not be pretended no matter what.
"Yes, this Wang family is a huge place to raise zombies!"
