Chapter 8 - Weeping Blood Fruit and Feng Wu Heart

Last night it was light rain, and today, the cool breeze is blowing.

It was already close to the end of the day, and Lin Yuan was still curled up on Lin Weiyang's bed and never got up.

Lin Yuan, who was held by Lin Weiyang and slept all night, was still asleep at this time, he really hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, before he was on the mountain, not only had to watch out for all kinds of fierce beasts, but also always pay attention to the movements of various secret sentinels in the forest.

Worry all day long, like walking on thin ice.

Perhaps it was in his sister's arms that he let go of the guard in his heart, and with yesterday's fatigue and old injuries, Lin Yuan slept until now.

There was a sound of pushing the door, and Lin Weiyang walked in softly.

She had already freshened up and put a plate of breakfast on the table, and then sat on the edge of the bed, combing his messy hair.

"Obuchi, get up......"

In the haze, Lin Yuan squinted his eyes and glanced at it, then moved his body and pillowed on Lin Weiyang's lap.

"I'll sleep a little longer......"

For Lin Yuan, Lin Weiyang was really completely spoiled, and he covered him with the futon, patted his back and coaxed him to sleep.

However, there are always people who will not get used to him.

Not long after Lin Yuan fell asleep again, he was awakened by a heavy knock on the door.

The only one who dared to knock on the door like this in the Lin Mansion was Lin Sanli.

Helplessly, Lin Yuan reluctantly got up, and after beating the mattress violently, he shouted aggrievedly: "Come in!" ”

A helpless rage in exchange for Lin Weiyang's chuckle and stroking comfort.

Lin Sanli answered the sound and entered the door with a sentence: "Sister, someone is looking for you."

It was still early, and Lin Weiyang really couldn't think of anyone who would come to the door early in the morning, so he asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Thunder."

It was him again, and when he heard this name, Lin Yuan's mind instantly cleared up.

Since he came down the mountain, this Lei family master has been a little too attentive.

"Let's go, sister, the three of us will go to this weasel for a while." Lin Yuan was about to get out of bed.

Before his feet touched the ground, Lin Sanli spoke again: "There is still looking for you." ”

Lin Yuan, who had just lifted the quilt, was a little stunned and asked, "Who?" ”

"Old man from last night."

......

In the guest room of the Lin Mansion, the old man was standing in front of a row of text screens and tasting with his hands.

"Old man, what crime should you be guilty of disturbing people's dreams!"

Before entering the door, Lin Yuan's joking voice had already come, and the old man didn't look back, standing in front of a "Wang Ba Playing Water Picture" with a light smile, and looked at it seriously.

Lin Yuan saw that the old man didn't respond, so he quickened his pace, but as soon as he entered the door, the old man said: "The shallows are playing in the water."

"Hey! How do you curse early in the morning? ”

Lin Yuan sat at the table with the breakfast that Lin Weiyang had brought earlier, but seeing that the old man still ignored him, he looked curiously at the row of calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

"The words are twisted and crooked, what are the things that are drawn, where did Sister Weiyang find such things, they are not as good as me."

Lin Yuan's complaining finally drew the old man's attention back.

"Why don't you come and see who makes the payment?" The old man looked at the wild boy who was drinking porridge playfully.

It had been a long time since he had sat upright, and Lin Yuan was still a little uncomfortable, so he cocked Erlang's legs, continued to drink his porridge, and did not forget to say: "These tattered things are embarrassing to pay for, they are shameless." ”

Nodding in agreement, the old man walked to the last painting, pointed to the place where the payment was made, and said:

"Lin Yuan paints!"

"Poof!"

The white porridge in his mouth splashed far away, Lin Yuan thought he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly ran from the chair to the wall, looking at it one by one, while the old man sat on the other side of the table, eating the pastries on the plate unceremoniously.

After the last one, Lin Yuan's mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close it.

! More than ten calligraphy and paintings, all of which were made when I was a child, young and frivolous, I really paid for it at that time!

Lin Yuan sighed to himself, the sentence that the old man had just recited was still inscribed next to the painting by himself, no wonder it was so familiar.

Unexpectedly, my sister was all hanging here.

Pretending to be fine, Lin Yuan sat back calmly, coughed lightly, and drank the white porridge again.

"Ahem! So what...... It's gone, the calligraphy and painting are good! ”

Swallowing the pastry in his mouth, the old man stared at Lin Yuan with a smile.

Being looked at was really embarrassed, Lin Yuan put down the spoon in his hand and asked, "By the way, why are you looking for me early in the morning?" ”

Finally got to the point, the old man was not joking, and said seriously: "This morning, someone released the news. ”

"Weeping blood is in your hands."

After saying that, Lin Yuan's face became gloomy.

Sure enough, there are still people who don't want to have a good time.

Seeing Lin Yuan's face darkened, the old man put his hand into his arms, took out a book and put it on the table, with the title facing up, and handed it to Lin Yuan.

The old man spoke: "This 'Hundred Grass Catalogue', if I remember correctly, you came to me three years ago to borrow it. ”

Lin Yuan stared at the cover of the book and was silent.

The old man continued: "In this book, it is recorded that there is a tree in the world called 'Changsheng', which is no different in appearance from ordinary trees, and the peculiar thing is that it takes only one day to grow from seed to adulthood, and it takes three years to bear fruit. ”

Lin Yuan watched the old man talk endlessly, and took a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth.

"In three years of life, only three fruits are produced at a time, and after bearing fruit, they turn into dead trees in one day, and they scatter when they are in the wind."

"This fruit can prolong life when taken raw, and it is a necessary medicine for many high-quality life-sustaining tonics."

After speaking, the old man and Lin Yuan looked at each other, and Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "It's ironic, isn't it?" The longevity tree does not live long, but it is actually because it can prolong the life of others to get this good name. ”

Seeing Lin Yuan's relaxed smile, there was a faint anger between the old man's eyebrows, he held back his temper and continued: "Although the Weeping Blood Fruit is rare, at least there are a few on the market that can circulate. ”

"What I care about is the 'Fengwu Heart' in your hand!"

Lin Yuan lowered his head with a wry smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I still can't hide it from you......"

"Lin Yuan!"

Shouting the name of the young man in front of him, the old man grabbed the book on the table and slammed it on the table, and became angry.

The "Hundred Herbs Catalogue" was spread out on the table.

Standing opposite Lin Yuan and pointing at him, the old man gritted his teeth and said, "You! You actually used your three years of qi and blood to feed the Immortal Tree, just to make the three weeping blood fruits turn into a phoenix heart? You don't want to die? ”

"If I had known this, I would never have given you this book when I died!"

In Lin Yuan's memory, he had never seen the old man get angry, let alone be so angry today.

Raising his right arm and swinging, as soon as Lin Yuan said "don't worry", the old man grabbed his wrist across the long table, revealing his right arm that had been hidden deep in his sleeve.

The back half of Lin Yuan's forearm was actually difficult to see the flesh and blood, and even the skin was wrinkled, like a long-dead branch, dry and depressed.

The old man reversed Lin Yuan's arm, and on the inside of his forearm, there were actually two scars like Lin Weiyang, but between these two scars of Lin Yuan, there were still many small knife cuts that had not yet healed.

Trembling his fingers angrily, the old man pointed to these scars and looked at Lin Yuan, waiting for him to give himself an answer.

Who knows, Lin Yuan patted his hand, then pulled out his arm and hid it again.

"Old man, help me keep it secret, especially not let Sister Weiyang know." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Seeing his smiling face, the old man's anger became even stronger, and he yelled, "You still want to hide it? Do you dare to show me your other arm, if both arms are like this, I'll stop it! ”

"Your qi and blood are obviously caused by the long-term extraction of qi and blood by external forces!"

"You're in danger of dying, you know!"

In a hurry, the old man fell into the chair behind him.

The breeze outside the window blew the pages of the book, and after a few flips, the pages of the book with the painting of trees and fruits were exposed between the two of them.

It is recorded above: Fengwu heart, its appearance is very different from the weeping blood fruit, the same is the fruit of the immortal tree, it needs to start from the first day of the tree, with a person's blood and blood for three years, during which no candidate can be replaced, no interruption, three years can not be more and no less. If it is successful, the three weeping blood fruits can be turned into phoenix hearts......

The old man exhaled a breath of turbid breath weakly, and he said: "The reason why the Fengwu Heart is precious is because its effect is comparable to a thousand weeping blood fruits, in addition, it can also strengthen the foundation and strengthen the meridians and bones, even if the spiritual veins are broken, it can be repaired." ”

After a pause, the old man looked at Lin Yuan and continued: "How many people can't ask for it, because the conditions for forming a phoenix heart are too harsh, and few people know the method. ”

"But you, a bastard boy, have really been worshipping qi and blood for three years, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hold on in the middle and die first?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer in a hurry, he first put away the "Hundred Herbs Catalogue" on the table and handed it to the old man, and after he took it, Lin Yuan walked alone to a finely framed picture in the middle.

Simple lines, scribbled drawing, poor quality paper.

The picture depicts two children holding hands and sheltering from the rain under the eaves.

A little distracted, Lin Yuan turned his back to the old man and said, "There are some things, even if you gamble your life, it's worth it." ”

Without going to see Lin Yuan, the old man silently put away the books that had been sorted out.

"Thanks to your little life, otherwise I will have another stain in my life." The old man said angrily.

"Fortunately, now the Northern Liang Domain thinks that I have a weeping blood fruit ...... in my hands" Halfway through his words, Lin Yuan's mind suddenly appeared with yesterday's picture.

At the gate of the city, there was a thunderous smile, and he said "Fengwu heart".

This morning, the one who came to find Lin Weiyang was also thundering!

Is it possible?

Lin Yuan didn't have time to explain anything, so he ran out directly, leaving the old man with a sentence, "Let's talk another day!" ”

Sitting in the empty room, the old man sighed faintly, and after his eyes sent Lin Yuan away, he stared at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall next to him, and he was distracted for a long time......

At this moment, Lin Yuan was rushing to the lobby as fast as he could, and many people saw Lin Yuan just about to salute, and found that their young master was gone.

Seeing that he was about to arrive, Lin Yuan gradually slowed down his pace, he straightened his hair and robe that had been tossed by the wind, and kept adjusting his breathing until he appeared in front of the lobby as usual.

When Lin Yuan appeared, Lin Weiyang's gaze never fell on other people.

The moment he saw Lin Yuan in the corner of his eyes, Lin Weiyang got up and walked directly to Lin Yuan regardless of the thunder that was still talking.

"Why are you here?" Lin Weiyang asked.

Seeing Lin Weiyang approaching, Lin Yuan subconsciously wanted to hide his right arm, but in order not to be too obvious, he put his hands together on his chest.

"I'm over there, come over and join in the fun." Lin Yuan's words were for Lei Ming.

When the two sisters and brothers approached, Lin Yuan asked in a very small voice, "Sister, what is he doing here?" ”

Pretending to sort out Lin Yuan's clothes, Lin Weiyang replied: "I don't know, I've been chatting." ”

Lin Yuan understood, this was waiting for him to appear.

Sure enough, Lin Yuan's head tilted, and he met Lei Ming's eyes.

"Sister, let's go, I'll also go in and talk to the head of the Lei family."

The words were said to Lin Weiyang, but Lin Yuan's eyes did not leave Lei Ming's face for half a minute.

As if going through the process, Lin Yuan and Lei Ming exchanged greetings before taking their seats.

Lin Yuan sat next to Lin Weiyang, he listened to the two chatting about some household things, so he boredly grabbed a few strands of Lin Weiyang's green silk and circled it in his hand.

Lei Ming, the old fox, was planning to force himself to ask questions first.

Coincidentally, he Lin Yuan may not be able to do anything, but he is patient.

After playing with Lin Weiyang's hair, Lin Yuan hit the insects and ants on the ground again.

The game was getting energetic, but the conversation between Lin Weiyang and Lei Ming gradually faded away.

Lin Weiyang guessed from the beginning when he saw Lin Yuan without speaking, he and Lei Ming were fighting in secret, and if this was the case, then she poured oil on the fire.

"Master Lei, if there is nothing important today, then let's talk about it almost here, my brother was taken care of yesterday, and now he is still unwell and needs to rest." Lin Weiyang did not forget to say a word of thunder.

As if he really couldn't find a topic, Lei Ming smiled lightly and sat up straight.

"Today, I came to make amends, and yesterday my guards and youngest son were offended, and today I have punished them and confined them, and I have come to make amends to the two of you in person."

Lei Ming's face was full of seriousness, which made Lin Yuan almost believe him.

Straightening his waist and straightening his sitting posture, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "The head of the Lei family personally apologizes, our sister and brother can't afford it." ”

Lei Ming understood, and put his hand into his sleeve again.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan was really afraid that he would get another letterhead to come out, he didn't have time to read the letter yesterday, and he didn't know what to do with another one.

Fortunately, Lei Ming just took out a bottle of medicine and put it on the Eight Immortals table in the middle, and said, "This is the plaster of Yunyin Mountain Villa, which can remove all kinds of scars on the body, and I hope to smile." ”

The medicine of Yunyin Villa is famous all over the world, and it is difficult for many people to buy such a small bottle when they grab their heads, and this time Lei Ming is really vomiting blood.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: This thing is just right to use.

But his surface was still very calm, and he said: "The head of the Lei family has a heart, and he is afraid that I will be disfigured and brought the ointment, so I don't know what the other thing is?" ”

They all opened the skylight and said something bright, and Lei Ming didn't hide it anymore, leaning on the table of the Eight Immortals with a smile, staring at Lin Yuan.

"Second, I want the weeping blood fruit in the hands of the second son."
