Chapter 70: Thanks
"Childe, how did you choose a piano?"
Fan Qingyao couldn't help but look curiously at the guqin on Lin Lan's lap.
"Because the most precious treasure of the vault is this piano, nothing else will do anything else to me." Lin Lan said casually: "I'll give you this piano, it just so happens that you don't have a good piano yet." β
"Send me?"
Fan Qingyao was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Gongzi is the leader, it is rare to enter the Tianyuan Secret Vault, how can this reward be given to me?" Why don't you exchange it for treasures with others? β
Lin Lan glanced at her and said, "Take it, your cultivation is the biggest effect." β
Fan Qingyao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll use it first when my son needs to exchange treasures in the future, just take it at any time." β
Only then did she step forward and pick up the guqin, and her fingertips plucked gently.
After trying it for a long time, a flash of surprise flashed in Fanqing Yao's beautiful eyes, and she exclaimed: "This Fuxi-style guqin looks very old, I didn't expect the sound of the piano to be so warm and clear, this timbre is already the best kind of piano I have ever seen, even the royal Tianyin Qin Workshop does not have such a good piano." β
The Yue Pavilion Lord stared at this guqin for a long time before he said softly: "This is Lord Qinzong's 'Farewell to the Phoenix'." β
Fan Qingyao couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "This qin is the legendary Fengbei Qianqiu Qin?" β
"Fengqi sycamore wood is the face, the thousand-year-old snow silk is the string, the spiritual eye jasper is the emblem, and the Vermilion Bird Sandalwood is the semble, this piano is not a phoenix, what is it?" The Yue Pavilion Lord sighed and said, "Look at the dragon pond on the back of this piano, is there the word 'Qianqiu'?" β
Fan Qingyao immediately flipped the body of the piano and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Is it really Fengbei Qianqiuqin?" β
The Yue Pavilion Lord sighed: "I didn't expect Feng Bei Qianqiu to be in the Tianyuan Secret Vault of the Xue Palace, no wonder...... Among the five holy qins of the Qin Sect, the seven killing qins and Fu Longyin, which are the most powerful, are sealed in the Qin Pavilion, and the Jin Ge Dance, who specializes in battlefield killing, does not know where to go, and the dream is in the dream of the Pavilion Master, and the most played by the Qin Sect in his life is this phoenix. β
"Lord Sake." Fan Qingyao asked cautiously, "I heard that Fengbei Qianqiu has three phoenix songs specially played?" Do you have a sheet music? β
"There should be all of them, I'll help you ask in a few days."
The Yue Pavilion Lord bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "If you can learn those three phoenix songs, there will be many people who want to ask you for help." β
"Oh?" Lin Lan asked casually, "What help?" β
After Fan Qingyao put this Fengbei Qianqiu into the treasure bag, he said: "Childe, this Fengbei Qianqiu does not have any killing power, nor is he good at ecstasy, the biggest role is to attract spirits and cultivate yuan, which can help others practice, it is said that if you can play the most difficult song "Thousand Miles of Phoenix Zhi", you can also use Fengming to refine your true appearance, which is helpful to the cultivation of the supernatural powers of the human sect." β
"That's good." Lin Lan nodded lightly, "You have this ability, and I can rest assured in the future." β
Fan Qingyao was slightly stunned, she always felt a little strange when she heard it, Childe's words were like explaining his last words?
β¦β¦
It was late afternoon.
The candle in the house was hot, Lin Lan sat on a chair in the main hall, while Fan Qingyao arranged a soundproof barrier in the room next door, quietly playing the Fengbei Qianqiu qin, and was a little excited to familiarize himself with the newly arrived guqin.
Lin Lan turned his head slightly to look, and saw a black cat sitting on the table, and the pair of confused and chaotic vertical boys looked at him quietly.
If you don't look at those eyes, this cat still looks very cute, small and delicate, not much bigger than a palm, and its head is round.
"How are you going to help me change my destiny?"
Lin Lan looked at the cat, and he really didn't understand.
How should this extraterrestrial thing be used to change the destiny of heaven?
However, in any case, you have to carry this cat with you, maybe you can get a chance?
"By the way, aren't you hungry?" Lin Lan asked.
The national teacher left a message saying that he wanted to feed the cat well, and he also asked Fan Qingyao to prepare several kinds of food that the cat should like.
But the cat didn't pay any attention to him, just looked at him faintly.
"What's your name?" Lin Lan asked, and the cat naturally wouldn't answer him.
Then he said casually: "You are so small and so dark, just call it Xiao Hei." β
Then he saw the cat's facial muscles twitch slightly, as if startled by the clichΓ© name, and shook its head at him.
"Are you so happy?" Lin Lan nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Hei, what do you want to eat?" β
The black cat immediately gave him a very humane white eye, and then raised a small paw and pointed at him.
"Are you going to eat me?" Lin Lan said: "Or my mana?" β
He immediately raised his hand, mobilized a mana to convey it from his fingertips, and then sent it to the black cat.
The black cat lowered its head, stuck out its tongue and licked it, then closed its eyes.
Lin Lan immediately felt that some of the mana on his fingertips was missing, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly said, "Is it really feeding on energy?" β
He gathered another ray of mana.
But the black cat opened its eyes, shook its head, and refused to eat anything.
"It's quite picky."
Lin Lan showed a hint of a smile, and then urged a sharp sword element, which spat out from his fingertips.
This is the sword element after the condensation of the divine power of kendo.
The black cat's eyes lit up at this time, he lowered his head and licked it, and immediately devoured this sword element, and then looked at him again.
"Like this?" Lin Lan smiled and continued to urge Jian Yuan.
Anyway, even if the power of the supernatural power is consumed, it is nothing, the supernatural power is like an engine, the mana is fuel, as long as there is a steady stream of mana, he can always urge the power of the supernatural power, and he also has the supernatural power of "The Sea of Qi", and the mana is restored quickly.
"The Great Age of Genes"
Immediately, Lin Lan kept urging Jian Yuan to feed the black cat.
And this black cat's appetite was also like an invincible hole, and after a while, Lin Lan fed it all the sword elements that were urged by mana, but it still looked at Lin Lan with unfinished eyes.
"So edible?"
Lin Lan was a little surprised.
At this time, his mana was still above ninety percent, but the power of heaven and earth attracted by the immeasurable sea of qi had been exhausted.
You know, the capacity of his qi sea is more than five times that of a normal cultivator, and after all the mana in his body is urged into a sword yuan, he is actually swallowed up by this cat?
"Interesting, I'd like to see how much you can swallow."
Lin Lan casually took out a bottle of elixir specially used to replenish qi from the package, and while using the elixir to regain qi, he urged Jian Yuan to constantly feed this black cat, and at the same time, he was also attracting the power of heaven and earth with the immeasurable sea of qi.
The speed of the elixir's qi recovery was relatively slow, and after a while, more than eighty percent of the mana was consumed.
He immediately stopped and began to wait silently for his mana to recover.
"You wait a minute."
Lin Lan glanced at the black cat that looked like an invincible cave, and re-energized the clear tranquility, while deducing the essence of the divine power in his mind, he was also recovering his mana at an astonishing speed.
After a while, the mana was completely restored, and a large amount of heaven and earth power was regathered and tempered around, which could be converted into mana at any time.
Lin Lan continued to feed it the sword element, and consumed a body of mana in one breath, plus the mana transformed by the power of heaven and earth, which was equivalent to the sword element transformed by ten times the mana of ordinary cultivators.
But the black cat was still not full, stretched out its tongue and licked his empty fingertips, and continued to look at him.
"Wait."
Lin Lan continued to close his eyes, recovering his mana while deducing the artistic conception of his supernatural powers.
In this way, after feeding back and forth four times, the black cat still did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and still looked at him with blank eyes.
Lin Lan didn't care about it, anyway, the mana recovered quickly, and the black cat also faintly changed.
Originally, it was just an ordinary black cat, but others couldn't see it, and when Lin Lan didn't look at it, he couldn't feel its existence, and other than that, there was nothing special about it.
And now......
Lin Lan suddenly found that when the black cat scratched his chin with his paws, there was a faint sense of kendo artistic conception in the action of probing his claws?
"Interesting."
After discovering this, Lin Lan suddenly looked forward to what would happen once the cat was fed.
He was about to continue to recover his mana to feed it, but he heard a voice suddenly sound outside the courtyard of the house:
"Pingle is visiting, can Mr. Lin see me?"
Lord Pingle?
Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately said, "Please come in." β
β¦β¦
Fan Qingyao took a pack of new tea from the master of the Yue Pavilion and went to the courtyard to make a sencha.
The county lord of Pingle, 'Tang Bangqiu', at this time changed into a high-necked dark blue coat and a green luoxia veil, and was sitting opposite Lin Lan, while the martial pavilion lord Win Mother-in-law was standing behind her as usual.
However, Tang Bangqiu's face was slightly pale at this time, as if he was very tired and tired, he looked a little sluggish, and his neck was shrunk in the high collar, which seemed to be covering something.
Lin Lan looked at the county lord and said: "Today, the county lord almost died in the Chengyuan Palace, fortunately, the national teacher came to the rescue, the county lord also looked a little tired, and he didn't have a good rest in the house, why did he come to me?" β
"Thank you Mr. Lin for your concern, I'm fine." Tang Bangqiu shook his head slightly, and said: "I came to visit at this time, mainly to thank Mr. Lin, I should have come earlier, but I just ......."
"It's too early to talk about thanks."
Lin Lan said: "Those two snake girls, they will not fall into my hands until tomorrow when they get the approval of the national teacher and His Majesty in the palace, and since the person who won the championship in the end is not from Jingtiantai, will Jingtiantai really hand over those two snake girls?" β
"It seems that Mr. Lin knows a lot." Tang Bangqiu sighed and said: "But this point can be completely assured, with the National Teacher in charge, even if the head of the Jingtiantai has the intention to falsify, it will be exposed, so those two snake girls will inevitably fall into the hands of Mr. Lin, what I'm worried about is what will happen later." β
"What happens next?" Lin Lan glanced at her.
"On the bodies of those two snake girls, there must be means left by the pure roof, such as poisoning, cursing, and so on." Tang Bangqiu said: "Moreover, Jingtiantai should also ask Mr. Lin for the snake girl. β
She took a deep breath, looked at Lin Lan sincerely, and said, "When the time comes, please don't ask Mr. Lin not to agree to the rooftop, if so, Tang Wanqiu is grateful." β
As he spoke, Tang Wanqiu swept his sleeve robe across the table, only to see three exquisite gift boxes appear on the table.
"These three gifts are the most useful treasures I can take out for my husband."
She looked at Lin Lan and said, "One is to thank Mr. Lin for winning the championship for me and Dream Snake and saving the situation, one is to thank Mr. Lin for returning the snake girl to us, and one is to thank Mr. Lin for refusing the request of Jingtiantai tomorrow." β
Lin Lan was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "Chengyuan will try to win the championship, it is for myself, I am not interested in those two snake demons, and I have already promised to return them to you before, so the county lord does not need to take out these gifts, I will also help you, please take it back." β
He just wanted Tang Bangqiu to owe him favors, so that even if there was really any misunderstanding in the future, he would be reluctant to kill him.
Tang Bangqiu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and immediately said: "Mr. Lin is reluctant to accept these gifts, it is Mr. Lin's high style and bright festival, but our etiquette is indispensable, please accept it, otherwise Mr. Bangqiu is really uneasy in conscience." β
Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, Lin Lan thought for a moment and asked, "What are these three gifts?" β
"A book of "Treatise on Longevity" written by the ancestors, a true treasure suitable for sword cultivation and self-protection, and a true treasure flying sword dedicated to sword cultivation." Tang Bangqiu immediately said.
Lin Lan thought for a moment and said, "Just leave me the talisman true treasure and flying sword, and there is no need for immortal strategy." β
Tang Bangqiu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Please also ask Mr. to accept all three pieces, especially this "Treatise on Longevity", which records the ancestors' records and views on various methods of immortality, which is the most precious, although the ancestors only lived for seventy-one years, but that is for another reason, otherwise the ancestors will definitely be able to live forever." β
Lin Lan shook his head slightly, and said: "I won the championship for the county lord, and I received a thank you gift, but it's nothing, return the snake girl to the county lord, and it is reasonable to receive another thank you gift, but refusing the request of Jingtiantai is the right thing, and I have no shame to accept the county lord's thank you gift." β
"That'...... Why don't you leave the "Theory of Immortality Strategy"? Tang Bangqiu couldn't help but say.
"The county lord doesn't need to persuade again." Lin Lan shook his head again.
He can't say that he has already obtained the "Treatise on Immortal Strategy" in Tengen Beppu, and even the "Tengen Technique" of the first generation of national teachers, right?
Moreover, he needs the county lord's side to owe him favors, and it is just right to reject this most precious "Immortal Strategy".
"Ahem."
When Tang Bangqiu was about to say something more, Granny Ying behind her coughed lightly and said, "County Lord, since Mr. Lin is unwilling to accept it, let's remember it first." β
Immediately, she heard Granny Win's voice ringing in her ears: "County Lord, for a reincarnated person like Mr. Lin, it is impossible for him not to understand the importance of the "Immortal Strategy", but he refuses to accept it, and chooses two true treasures that have little effect, naturally he does not want to accept such a great favor from you in vain, to avoid the imbalance of the Dao heart, you don't have to force it, there is a chance to repay the favor in the future." β
"That'...... All right. β
After Tang Bangqiu listened, he gave up, and then looked at Lin Lan and said seriously: "If Mr. Lin needs my help in the future, just mention it, I will definitely do my best." β
Lin Lan didn't say anything.
It is naturally a very cost-effective thing to refuse a useless "Theory of Longevity" in exchange for a big favor from this Pingle County Lord.
