Chapter 404: Farewell
Shocked, puzzled, unbelievable!
No one thought that Lin Yan would make such a decision after winning the victory with a domineering attitude.
The patriarch of the Lin clan is not like those small families and small forces, there are two or three big cats and small cats, and there are nearly twenty people in the Martial Sect alone, this force can be called the strongest force in the Blood Plains, if they wanted, they would have been able to destroy the Puppet Yin Sect, Blood Rock Valley, and become the overlord force.
Therefore, it is conceivable how much authority Lin Yan will have if he becomes the head of the Lin clan.
In the entire Lin family, almost everyone dreamed of being the patriarch but couldn't get it, but when they came to Lin Yan, they abandoned it like a shoe, not to mention the Lin clan, even the old patriarch Lin Wei couldn't understand it.
"Yan'er, what did you say just now?" Lin Wei asked again uncertainly.
"I said, I will not inherit the position of patriarch, and I will leave my family to go to Zhongzhou to experience and trace the path of the Tao in the near future. So, grandpa, Lin Yan can only say I'm sorry. Lin Yan said guiltily.
He knew that inheriting the patriarch and carrying forward the family was his grandfather Lin Wei's lifelong wish, but in order to pursue the avenue of heaven and earth, he could only choose to live up to his grandfather.
Heaven and earth are impermanent, there is no trace of the avenue, this is a road of no return, I don't know how many days of pride have sunk into the sand.
Even Zhang Yu didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to reach the end of his journey and pursue the ethereal avenue of heaven and earth.
But Lin Yan was unwilling to be trapped in a corner, to be a small landlord who only guarded his own one-third of an acre, and finally became mediocre and turned into a piece of loess and slept in the world.
He knows how difficult the future will be, but even if he dies, he has no regrets.
Chaowen said, die at night, no regrets!
At the beginning, Lin Wei's body trembled, obviously this was not the answer he wanted, his face changed, and he struggled greatly in his heart.
From ugliness, to worry, to relief, and finally to endless relief, in a quarter of an hour, Lin Wei's mood has almost undergone a life-long change.
"Good grandson, if you really grow up and have your own thoughts, since you don't want to inherit the position of patriarch, grandpa won't force you, you just need to remember that no matter when, grandpa will always stand behind you and be your most solid backing!" Lin Wei said with a faint smile.
"Grandpa, aren't you angry with me?" Originally, Lin Yan thought that if he refused in public like this, he would definitely be stopped by his grandfather Lin Wei, and he was even made the decision to forcibly run away, but who knew that he would usher in this ending, which really surprised him.
"You kid, do you think your grandfather and I are really old and stubborn? Even if I really leave you behind, can I keep you for a while, can I still keep you for a lifetime? Young eagles need to spread their wings and soar after all, and the vast sky is their final destination. Lin Wei scolded with a smile, and the remaining trace of unwillingness in his heart suddenly dissipated.
"Thank you, grandpa. While Lin Yan felt guilty, he was also endlessly moved, "Grandpa, I have one more thing to ask you, I hope you can promise me." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I hope that the next patriarch will be inherited by Lin Ming, whether it is talent or heart, he is an excellent choice. Moreover, Lin Ming inherited the patriarch, and he will definitely be able to untie the knot in Grandpa Chengxu's heart, so that you can release your past suspicions. Lin Yan said with a serious face.
Regarding the contradiction between Lin Wei and Lin Chengxu, he has also heard more or less.
It is said that the two of them were also young and vigorous back then, and neither of them was convinced of the other, and they were almost equal in terms of strength and entry. But later, because of the election for patriarch, Lin Chengxu lost by one vote, and he was as arrogant as he was naturally not angry, and even resented Lin Wei.
Decades have passed, and the two have long passed the age of blood, but the younger disciples have become bargaining chips for them to compete with each other, and once again staged a war without gunpowder.
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Wei also returned to his former calm, "Lin Ming's kid is actually not bad, since you quit, then of course he is the best choice, I believe that the elders will not have any opinions." ”
"I agree. ”
"I agree. ”
“......”
Soon, the remaining elders showed their attitude, and this result, although somewhat unexpected, was definitely the most perfect ending for them.
When two tigers fight, one will be injured, or even both will be defeated.
Their Lin family, it is not easy for two disciples with such outstanding talents to appear at the same time, if they lose one of them because of the clan leader dispute, it will definitely be a great loss to the Lin family.
When Lin Wei finally finalized Lin Ming's succession as the next patriarch, all the Lin disciples were also embarrassed, and at the same time secretly excited.
With the talent that Lin Yan showed today, he will only go farther and farther on the road of martial arts, and he will definitely become the patron saint of the Lin family, and there is even a slight possibility that he will lead the Lin family to leave such a wild place and set foot in Zhongzhou!
......
The clan meeting ended with such a dramatic ending, and after learning the news, Lin Chengxu's heart was as complicated as breaking a five-flavor bottle.
At this time, Lin Ming also woke up from a coma, looking at Lin Chengxu who was frowning, he smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you." Now Lin Yan has become the patriarch heir. ”
"Alas, Ming'er, from now on you will be the next patriarch of the Lin clan. Lin Chengxu sighed and said with a complicated expression.
"What, didn't Lin Yan win?" Lin Ming said with a shocked expression.
"Lin Yanxin is not here, we underestimate him. Saying that, Lin Chengxu told Lin Ming everything that happened after that.
"Grandpa, it looks like we're really wrong. Lin Yan said with a look of shame.
"It's not us, it's that I'm wrong, it's that I'm too narrow-minded. Lin Chengxu finally let go of the last trace of obsession in his heart, and felt guilty, "When you are injured, why will the grandfather and grandson go to apologize to Lin Wei, and it can be regarded as a small way to make up for my mistakes over the years." ”
"Grandpa, no need, let's go now, my injuries are actually not that serious. Saying that, Lin Ming ignored Lin Chengxu's obstruction, and walked towards the main hall where the patriarch was located without hesitation, and in desperation, Lin Chengxu had no choice but to follow.
......
Under the night, looking up at the starry sky, Lin Yan sighed lightly, giving birth to a feeling of loss.
"What are you sighing for? Do you regret giving up the position of patriarch? It's not too late to come back now. Zhang Yu on the side deliberately quipped.
I was just thinking that I didn't know when I would be able to come back, and that my grandfather would be alone for a long time from now on. Lin Yan sighed lightly.
After unloading the burden of the patriarch, Lin Yan discussed with Zhang Yu that he would go to Zhongzhou today, the place they dreamed of.
As the time approached, Lin Yan became more and more reluctant to leave.
"There's no such thing as the best of both worlds, and if you want to be at the top, you have to give it up. Especially for us monks, the path of cultivation is long, and the family affection will only become weaker and weaker. Zhang Yu also sighed.
Who doesn't want to snuggle up to their parents? Who doesn't want to live without scruples?
However, these things that may be easy for mortals to achieve are almost extravagant for Zhang Yu.
In addition to the hatred of killing his mother, Zhang Yu now has an additional responsibility, that is, to reshape Mochen's body and help him resurrect in the true sense.
Since Zhang Yu became a solid inkman, he has fallen into a life-and-death crisis several times, and each time inkdust has tried his best to help him tide over the difficulties, and even put himself in danger of being scattered several times.
The weight of this kindness, Zhang Yu can hardly repay it!
Therefore, even if it is for the sake of Mochen, he has to set foot in Zhongzhou, even if this road is destined to be full of thorns, he will never retreat!
"Think about it, if you really decide, go and say goodbye to Old Man Lin Wei, if you haven't made up your mind, stay in the Blood Plains. It just so happens that I will go to Zhongzhou first to take the lead, and you will be able to have a place to stay when you come over. Zhang Yu comforted.
"Don't think about it, my will will not waver, Zhongzhou, I will definitely go!" Lin Yan cut the railway, "Quickly cut the mess, I'll go and say goodbye to grandpa, and go to Zhongzhou with you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yan prepared to go to the place where Lin Wei was.
But at this moment, a figure also fell from the sky and stood by Lin Yan's side.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" said Lin Yan in surprise.
"I'm not afraid that you won't say goodbye and come to see you for the last time!" Lin Wei smiled, but even the smile on his old face still couldn't hide the reluctance and hesitation in his heart.
There was a voice in his heart that kept asking him to dissuade Lin Yan from staying, so that he would not have to endure the torture of loneliness.
But in the end, reason prevailed, he knew that love was not a bondage, and Lin Yan's future should bloom in the most brilliant Zhongzhou, rather than withering in such a wild place.
"Grandpa" Lin Yan originally had a lot to say, but when the words came to his mouth, he choked up again.
"Don't say it, I know what you want to say. Now that you have become a real man, you must pay attention to protecting yourself in the future. Lin Wei said with a look of relief, "There is a secret, I have hidden it from you for twenty years, and I will not hide it today, I plan to tell you the truth!"
As he spoke, Lin Wei's expression suddenly appeared in a trance for a moment, as if he was reminiscing about something.
"Do you remember your parents?"
"It's just a little vague. Lin Yan said with a little shame.
"I don't blame you, it's been more than 20 years since your parents left, and even I almost forgot what your father looked like. All along, I've been telling you that they were killed, but the truth is that they are just missing. They went to Zhongzhou as stubbornly as you did, but since then there has been no news of them since. ”
"For more than 20 years, I also planned to look for them, but before I set foot in Zhongzhou, I was severely injured by the alien race, and I could only return with injuries, and then I couldn't get out because of trivial matters in the clan, and this delay was twenty years!"
