Chapter 20: A Lifetime of Shake
"Little brother, it's okay!" Shen Chao asked with concern.
"No... It's okay, the tea is too hot!" Ling Han said hesitantly, after all, he was still a child, Zhao Si was dead, and he didn't know what happened to Xiao Pang, Ling Han felt that his legs were shaking, and his heart was like a deer for a while.
A white-bearded old man coughed and asked, "Chao'er, what's going on!" It seems that his seniority is still very high.
"Third master, I have checked, Zhao Si was shocked to death by someone with internal force! And this internal force has only one name: Tiangang Jin!" Lord Shen's expression was very solemn. 、
"Tiangangjin!" said the old man, "you are not mistaken!"
"Tiangangjin!Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Who is this person, who dares to go to Shen Zhuang to kill people, how bold is it!"
"We must find this murderer!
Shen Chao waved his hand, and everyone stopped talking.
"I have examined Zhao Si's body, and the murderer just slapped Zhao Si in the back, and smashed his spine, ribs, and internal organs, and even blood could not flow out, only Tiangang strength could have such power!" Shen Chao said.
"Well, according to what you say, it is indeed Tiangang Jin, more than a hundred years ago, Fengling Island is not what it is now, there is a Kowloon Village on the Sealed Demon Mountain, the owner of the village is called Long Zaitian, it turned out to be just a small group of thieves, doing some things to rob the house, and then I don't know what kind of coincidence, Long Zaitian got a strange book, and cultivated a kind of magic skill, called Tiangang Jin. Long Zaitian after learning this magic skill, the personality is violent and abnormal, and he actually raised the village to kill the wind chime city, because the dragon in the sky is too high, the original old city lord is Liao Bufan's grandfather to kill with a palm, and then wantonly burn and loot, and then, in order to protect the people, the ancestor of our Shen family ordered a gossip phantom array to protect the lives of the people. Later, the Shen family and the Liao family produced many athletes, bulldozed Jiulong Village, and used the formation to trap Long Zaitian, so that the people of Fengling City could live and work in peace and contentment. It's just that after the dragon dies in the sky, this Tiangang strength should also be lost, hasn't their remnants been swept away?" the old man recounted an old story.
"I remember that I heard my grandfather talk about it at that time, saying that the fire that burned down Jiulong Village burned for three days and three nights, and the bodies of the nine leaders of Jiulong Village were all found, so how could there be any remnants?" Shen Chao said.
"But what is worrying is that the secret of that day has not been found, and today it seems that if the grass is not cut and the roots are not removed, the spring breeze blows and grows again!" the old man sighed.
"There's another eyewitness named Xiao Pang! But now I don't know if he's sane. Shen Chao said.
"Call up!" said the old man.
Ling Han chuckled in his heart again, would Xiao Pang recognize him, his heart was beating violently.
After a while, the two family members drove Xiao Pang to the hall, only to see Xiao Pang, his eyes were blank, and his anger was like a gossamer, as if he would die at any time.
"What's the matter with him?" asked the old man.
"It's cold ice true qi!" Shen Chao said.
"Sure enough, the ghost of Jiulong Village is still lingering, and Long Xingyuan, the second master of Jiulong Village, is a true qi of cold ice!
"Okay, I'll prepare people in the near future, and Shen Zhuang's organs will start to activate, please line up and perform their duties!
Ling Han didn't listen to Lord Shen's speech, his heart was always at war: could it be that he made Xiao Pang like this, a good person, no grievances with himself, just fulfilled the responsibility of taking care of the family and nursing home, and let himself be hurt like this, Ling Han couldn't help but secretly blame himself in his heart, but no matter what, he couldn't leak out the matter of the old gentleman who was secretly reckoning.
Ling Han's heart is still too kind, when he encounters such a thing, the balance in his heart will always waver, even if he knows that he will be hurt, he doesn't want to take the initiative to hurt innocent people. If others were to kill themselves like pirates they met, would they still be so merciful? Ling Han reminded himself: The heart must be cold! The heart must be cold! Just like the pirate, he cannot be shaken for the rest of his life.
His shaky legs gradually regained their composure.
"Ling Xiaoyou!Ling Xiaoyou!Ling Xiaoyou!" Shen Chao shouted a few times before Ling Han came back to his senses.
"Oh! Master Shen!" Ling Han was a little embarrassed and hurriedly stood up.
"Haha!" Shen Chao also felt that Ling Han was a little unnatural, but he still snorted and helped Ling Han cover up the gaffe just now. "This is Ling Han's little friend, from the vast continent! Ling Xiaoyou and I hit it off at first sight, it can be said that I have forgotten my old friends, and I hope everyone will treat Xiaoyou like me!"
"Oh, the vast continent, that's a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden!" the old man said after carefully looking at Ling Han.
"Yes, our ancestors moved from there, and I don't know what the situation is now!" sighed another balding old man!
"Look at the appearance of this little friend, it is really a hero from ancient times!" said an old man with a wrinkled face.
"Ling Xiaoyou is also from a martial arts family on the mainland! Everyone must be closer and closer in the future, but it will be of great benefit!" After that, he introduced everyone to Ling Han one by one, including the head of the defense department, the commander of the formation, the general affairs of the logistics, and the shopkeeper of the business, these are all people with status in the family who can master these positions of real power. Shen Chao focused on introducing the old men, they are the only remaining celebrities in the older generation. The rest were Shen Chao's brothers or disciples, and they all came to Ling Han to pay a visit.
Everyone was still immersed in their curiosity about Ling Han, and there was a lot of discussion.
I only heard three crisp sounds of "popping" from the hall, which focused everyone's attention.
It was Shen Chao, he smiled and took Ling Han's hand, in the center of the hall, and said: "Everyone, now I have three things to announce, please listen! First, the rise and fall of the wind chime is the responsibility of the husband! Zhao Si cannot sacrifice in vain, and Xiao Pang cannot be seriously injured for no reason! The thief dares to enter my Shen Village, and he will definitely plot against him! After seven days, everything is ready, and the Shen family will join the Wind Chime City to send troops to seal the Nine Dragon Village of the Demon Mountain and sweep away the remnants of the thieves!"
When everyone heard this, they were all impassioned and took the lead.
Master Shen smiled and pressed his hand to calm everyone's emotions. "The second thing is about next month's entry selection meeting, which is set for the fifth day of the new year! Ten teenagers over the age of thirteen and under the age of eighteen will be selected in the whole city to enter Shenzhuang, and the list will be posted tomorrow, please prepare the children of the family!"
As soon as they heard this message, everyone was excited, because there happened to be a child of the right age in the family, and they could have the opportunity to enter the family door to cultivate; Or regret that their children are still young, or they have passed the required age, but everyone knows that this is the only way to continue the family's status in the family.
The competition for this entry is extremely fierce, the reason why Lord Shen announced it one day in advance is actually a favoritism to his family, and if he prepares for half a day, he will perform differently in the harsh competition.
Because of this, among the ten disciples, only about three are not within the family, and the rest are Shen Zhuang's disciples, which is the foundation of Shen Zhuang's ability to survive for a hundred years.
As a person with a foreign surname, Ling Han was lucky to hear the news, but he didn't know if he had the qualifications to participate in the entry-level competition. Ling Han was beating a small drum in his heart, afraid that he was not qualified, and even more afraid that he did not have this ability.
"Alright!" Shen Chao loudly stopped the discussion below, "The third thing is the most important thing!"
Shen Chao paused, looked at Ling Han beside him, and said: "A leaf of duckweed returns to the sea, where will we not meet in life!" Ling Han's little friend came to our Shen Zhuang, I can't help but say that it is a great blessing for my Shen Zhuang, a few days ago because I had something, I neglected Ling Han's little friend, here, I want to apologize to Ling Han little friend!"
With that, he bowed deeply towards Ling Han.
Ling Han was flattered, and hurriedly helped Shen Chao up and said: "Why is Lord Shen Zhuang so gifted, it was you who saved my life, I ate well here and slept well, how can the kid be able to torture himself!"
"Although the wind chime is a small island, but the folk customs are simple, and it is also a state of etiquette, I hope Xiaoyou will not blame, in order to apologize, there is a dinner in the house today, invite Ling Xiaoyou and all the clansmen to attend together, specially invited the "wind chime chef" Mr. Guo Youyu works, you can get drunk with Ling Han Xiaoyou!"
"Oh! Guo Shenchu personally went out, this is a lot of face!"
"I heard that last month, the sixth ** birthday of the mother of the Liao City Lord, the Liao City Lord personally went to invite Mr. Guo, guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Guo shirked the infection and cold, so he didn't go, in fact, the old man was very tough, and he went fishing leisurely!"
"Yes, in this way, apart from our Shen family, I'm afraid that there is no second family on Wind Chime Island that has this ability, and can invite Mr. Guo!"
"This night is a blessing, I can taste Mr. Guo's craftsmanship, thanks to my good deeds and virtues!"
"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have eaten so much last night!
When Ling Han heard that Guo Youyu was coming, he was overjoyed, and he happened to have something to discuss with him. Although I haven't been dating this nephew for long, I always feel that he is a trustworthy person.
All things are done, but the meeting is not dispersed. Many seniors and children of the old family's family surrounded Ling Han, or worshipped, or gave gifts, or made appointments, or inquired, and Ling Han was very busy.
In the end, it was Shen Chao who helped to break the siege, telling everyone that Ling Han was in the village, and that they could be invited separately at that time, and everyone dispersed, and Ling Han was able to get out.
Since Shen Chao wanted to arrange the dinner, he ordered Xiaoyun to take Ling Han back to the room to rest first.
After everyone left, Xiao Yun called a maid to help Ling Han hold the gifts he received, most of them were small items such as hats, rings, jade pendants, etc., but they were all expensive, and there were some short knives and daggers inlaid with gold and jade, which looked like things that the rich son was playing with.
There was also a strong man who actually took off a spider silk soft armor that he was wearing in public and gave it to Ling Han, Ling Han took it, and there was a sour smell of sweat, and he didn't know how long this brother had not washed it. The most sincere is the grandson of the bald old man, who was going to propose marriage after the meeting, and prepared a rare pearl as a dowry, and even gave it to Ling Han. For this reason, Ling Han was worried in his heart, for fear that it would affect other people's lifelong events.
Xiao Yun helped Ling Han take the invitation card, and accidentally, scattered the name card all over the place, only to see that it was not only the letterhead, but also the silver tickets with wind chime ticket numbers that were common to the whole island in the envelope.
Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Brother, you have made a fortune now! The rich man, don't be too painful in your expression, but no one is so reluctant to accept money!"
"Sister, don't laugh at me!" Ling Han smiled bitterly, he was in vain, he really didn't know what to do after receiving so many valuable gifts.
Xiao Yun clicked the number, and there were more than 100,000 of them, which was enough for Ling Han to eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime.
"That's a lot of money!" Xiao Yun sighed, "My salary a year is only 100 taels, and a year like her is less than 20 taels!" Xiao Yun pointed to the little maid next to her. I saw that the little maid was staring at Ling Han upright, her face was red, obviously the goddess was intentional, I don't know if she was fascinated by Ling Han or the silver ticket.
"Little hoof, don't be whiny! don't work hard, or I'll kick you out!" Xiaoyun scolded loudly.
"Sister Xiaoyun, I don't dare anymore!Don't kick me out!" The little girl was so frightened by Xiaoyun that she cried.
Looking at her pear blossoms with rain, Ling Han was also a little unbearable, "Sister Xiaoyun, let's go back, I'm a little tired, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well." "Actually, Ling Han really didn't sleep well, Tianbao's snoring really made Zhou Gong unable to get close.
Before the three of them entered the courtyard, they saw two servants standing at the door with a beautiful yellow rosewood food box and looking at something, and a fierce fight was coming from the courtyard
