Chapter 80: The Replicant
"Went to the county seat?"
When Lin Cheng heard this, he was a little stunned, he had been missing for more than ten years, and he had been trapped in the barren mountain range, when had he ever been to the county seat?
Moreover, looking at Lin Qinghu's appearance, there didn't seem to be the slightest surprise, as if he hadn't been separated from him for a long time, which was really unexpected by Lin Cheng......
"Father! It's me! I'm Lin Cheng! I'm back......" Lin Qinghu's reaction made Lin Cheng feel very uneasy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly.
Lin Qinghu froze for a moment, slowly turned around, and showed a face that still looked resolute, but the originally heroic eyebrows had already climbed up with three deep wrinkles, and his sideburns had also turned white, as if he had changed a person. It doesn't look like it's ten years old, it's like it's twenty or thirty years old......
"Cheng'er, it's your ......"
Lin Qinghu's eyes were staring at Lin Cheng, as if he was not unfamiliar with his appearance and figure, his expression was very complicated, there seemed to be a strong surprise, and he seemed to be a little incredulous, and there was even a trace of hidden fear......
"Father, the child is not filial, you have been waiting for more than ten years, the child is not filial!"
Lin Cheng bent his legs, knelt in front of Lin Qinghu's knees, kowtowed deeply, and said with tears in his eyes.
"Cheng'er, my good boy, is it really you? Is it really you back?"
Lin Qinghu's eyes were red, his expression was extremely excited for a while, and he hurriedly bent down to hold Lin Cheng's face and asked in a trembling voice.
......
This father and son, who have been separated for more than ten years, have never heard from each other and are concerned about each other. Now that we finally meet, we are naturally very excited.
But Lin Qinghu seemed to be afraid of something, and didn't dare to say much to Lin Cheng in this forest, and took him straight into the deep forest. It wasn't until I couldn't see the lights in the town that I finally stopped.
"Father, what about Mom, how is Mommy?"
Lin Cheng has worshiped Lin Qinghu like a god since he was a child, and he obeyed his words and did not contradict him at all, and he still does. Seeing that Lin Qinghu finally stopped, he hurriedly asked.
"Your mother...... Your mother, like you, has disappeared and has not been heard from since......"
Lin Qinghu was still uneasy to observe in all directions, obviously trying to make sure if there was anyone else nearby. Listening to Lin Cheng's question, he couldn't help but look a little lonely, and spoke.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly continued: "However, she is definitely still alive and well, because there is her natal soul card in the Demon Spirit Tower, which is still intact, and there is no crack, you can rest assured of this! Perhaps, there is no news, it should be the best news......
"When did you go missing?"
Lin Cheng's heart sank along with Lin Qinghu's words, he was so nervous that he almost couldn't breathe, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while, so he hurriedly asked.
Lin Qinghu sighed and replied, "It was about three years after you disappeared, that is, in the 1904th year of the Lantern Calendar. ”
"Three years after I disappeared...... It was the year I got out of Zhenhai Palace...... It was also in that year that I met ......"
Lin Cheng muttered silently, his heart moved, and he thought of something in an instant, and asked Lin Qinghu, "Father, do you know who your mother is?"
Lin Qinghu shook his head and said, "Your mother...... She was saved by her father from the battlefield supporting the Sky Fox Country...... As for her origins, I really don't know. She never told me, and I never asked much, she must have her own unspeakable secrets!"
"Heavenly Fox Country, it turns out that the reason why Lu Qingyi and the Gray Fox Ghost Mother want to kill me is because of my mother...... In this case, the disappearance of my mother should be counted on the head of the Sky Fox Country......"
When Lin Cheng heard this, the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he said secretly: "Mother should also be from the Sky Fox Clan, but what kind of identity is she, and she will actually invite the disaster of killing for her son?"
"What about grandpa? Is he okay?" Lin Cheng didn't have time to think about the joints, and hurriedly asked his grandfather Lin Zhenyue.
Lin Qinghu smiled lightly and replied: "Your grandfather is fine, but his spirit is becoming more and more delirious, and he still lives alone in the tree house, and he can't see people." ”
"It's okay......"
Knowing that no accident had happened to his loved ones, Lin Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin Qinghu: "Father, the Hou family has been plotting to subvert our Lin family for a hundred years, and the reason why the child suffered this time is because he was hunted by Hou Yang and other Hou family members more than ten years ago. ”
"For more than ten years, the children have been trapped outside, and they have always been worried that they will be unfavorable to my Lin family, it seems that those people have been empty for a hundred years, and they still don't have the courage after all!"
"Cheng'er!"
Lin Qinghu had a strange look on his face, and suddenly called Lin Cheng mysteriously, and made a silent action.
"Father, what are you worried about? Although the child seems to have a low cultivation, after all these years of tempering, he has gained a great opportunity. With a child's mental power, even if it is a demon tail in the Demon Pill realm, it is impossible for him to overhear our speech!"
Lin Cheng said, and suddenly remembered the strange words that Lin Qinghu said, "I went to the county town", and continued to ask: "Also, the child knows very well that he has indeed been trapped outside for more than ten years, and he has never been able to go home, let alone any county town, what did his father say, what is going on?"
"What are you talking about? The Demon Tail Warriors of the Demon Pill Realm can't eavesdrop on us......? You look like you're low-level...... Do you have a spirit bone?
Lin Qinghu was startled, hurriedly pulled Lin Cheng in front of him, and pressed his palm on his back without hesitation, exuding an endless gentle aura, and probed carefully.
"Demon bones...... Well, Xiu Wei is indeed a little weaker. But being able to go from not having a demon bone to getting a demon bone also shows that you have a great opportunity. This kind of rebellion against heaven has never been heard of by my father!"
Lin Qinghu pulled out his hand, looked at Lin Cheng's height that was already on par with him, his sturdy body, and his deep eyes, he was overjoyed for a while, patted him on the shoulder, and said heavily: "You really deserve to be the descendant of my Lin family! You really deserve to be my Lin Qinghu's son! Lin Cheng, you have really grown up!"
It was the first time in Lin Cheng's life that he was praised so directly by his father, and he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. The praise of his father is really precious to him, a son.
However, there is actually another hidden truth about the demon bones. But when it comes to his big secret, Lin Cheng doesn't plan to involve his father.
"Father, is there something you haven't told the child yet?" The question was in his heart, like a bone in his throat, and he didn't ask if he was unhappy, Lin Cheng asked again.
When Lin Qinghu heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he sighed secretly: "Cheng'er, you don't know, in fact, you have returned to Qingqi Town seven years ago. ”
"Seven years ago, I was trapped in the Lion King's Palace at the bottom of the barren mountains and blue lakes seven years ago, how could I return to Qingqi Town?"
Lin Cheng meditated in his heart, showed an incredible expression, and said to Lin Qinghu: "Father, what are you talking about? I was trapped to death seven years ago, and I never returned to Qingqi Town!"
"Cheng'er, you listen to your father's words!"
Lin Cheng shook his head and continued: "Seven years ago, that is, in the year 1905 of the Lantern Moon Calendar, you secretly returned to Qingqi Town, told your father the information that the Hou family wanted to overthrow my Lin family, and quickly set up a plan to deal with it. Soon after, when his father returned from a hunting trip, he pretended to be seriously injured and was bedridden. The Hou family really dispatched the elite to assassinate his father's surname, but you were all captured on the spot with the strength of one person. ”
"Then, in front of all the townspeople in Qingqi Town, you exposed the conspiracy of the Hou family, and in the name of my Red Guard, all the men, women, and children of the Hou family were executed! ”
"Although the Hou family also has a high-status demon tail, because the evidence of the Hou family's rebellion is conclusive, they cannot ask the government to investigate, and they can only retaliate by means of assassination. Those people were also captured alive by you, and executed in public. Because, at that time, you were already a cultivator in the mid-stage realm of demon spirits. ”
"Later, you entered the Demon Spirit Tower, and in less than two years, you successfully advanced to the late realm of the Demon Spirit, and were directly accepted as a disciple by the tower master, becoming the most famous young demon tail in Qizhou City, known as the most demonic genius demon tail in Qizhou City in a hundred years. ”
"Now, you are already a cultivator of the Demon Pill realm, and you have become a legendary figure in the entire Lingnan County. During the war, it was precisely because of your relationship that our Qingqi Town was taken special care of by Qizhou City and was saved from the war. ”
......
"Father, are you saying that someone has been pretending to be a child for seven years, and has done so many amazing things in those seven years?
After Lin Cheng listened to what Lin Qinghu said, it was like a dream, and he felt incredible to the extreme, and after being silent for a while, he asked in a daze.
"Yes, there are people who do all this. But he's not pretending, because he's you, or arguably another you. Lin Qinghu muttered to himself.
"How is this possible? If a child doesn't know how to do it, how can there be another me in the world?"
Lin Cheng couldn't believe what Lin Qinghu said at all, but he knew very well that his father would never make up such a bizarre story, and he was troubled for a while, and he didn't have a clue at all.
"His appearance, the tone of his voice, and his surname are all the same as those of you in my father's impression. He remembers everything that happened between us, all the people you know and how you relate to them, everything you've been through in this town......"
Lin Qinghu continued to preach, looking at that expression, it seemed that he couldn't believe what he said.
"Father, do you mean that man has the same memories as me?"
When Lin Cheng heard this, his heart suddenly shook, and a tall figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he asked in a lost voice.
"Yes, you're right, not only does he look exactly like you, but he also has the exact same memories as you, as if he were a complete copy of yours. What's even more strange to the Father is that there is no difference between the way He is now and what you are now. “
