Chapter Forty-Seven: Returning Home for the New Year
The journey along the way is undescribed. Lin Pingzhi rode a horse to Shaanzhou that day, and he hadn't ridden such a long distance for a long time, and the horses and people couldn't stand it.
When he got up the next day, Lin Pingzhi felt that the sides of his thighs were hot, as if the skin had been worn out. The horses are also a little listless. Lin Pingzhi realized that it seemed that it was not interesting to imagine the life of the rivers and lakes of the fresh clothes and angry horses, although it was boring to walk with the convoy, it was much more comfortable and trouble-free.
There are still 300 miles left, Lin Pingzhi planned to arrive in one go, but the horse is gone, and he doesn't want to run anymore, Lin Pingzhi does not hesitate to send internal force to the horse to help it relieve its fatigue, but it seems to be useless. In desperation, Lin Pingzhi simply got off the horse and led it slowly.
This is an avenue, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and Lin Pingzhi led the horse along the side of the road. At this moment, a horse galloped, and when he passed Lin Ping, he inadvertently glanced at it, and hurriedly slowed down his horse, until the horse stopped and it had passed more than ten meters, and the rider turned the horse around and came to Lin Pingzhi.
"This is the senior brother of the Huashan faction?" The rider jumped off the horse and asked Lin Pingzhi with a fist.
Lin Pingzhi had already noticed it when the other party turned around, and when he saw the other party rushing towards him, he also hugged his fists and saluted in return while being vigilant, "Junior brother Huashan sent Lin Pingzhi to dare to ask the surname Gao, but what's the matter?" ”
The other party smiled and said, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Huashanlin, the younger brother is Mo Xiaobao of the Hengshan faction, and the head of the family teacher Mo." When he saw Senior Brother Lin leading the horse, he seemed to have some situation, so he got off the horse and asked. ”
Lin Pingzhi noticed that the other party was wearing the standard clothes of the Hengshan faction, and he was also wearing the standard clothes of the Huashan faction when he went out in a hurry. Lin Pingzhi suddenly felt that he was so stupid, the Hengshan faction had only been there more than half a year ago, why didn't he see it!
Lin Pingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Mo of the Hengshan Sect, forgive the little brother for being clumsy, thank you for your concern." I don't know what's wrong with this horse, it's not good to run, so I have to lead it slowly. ”
Mo Xiaobao was obviously much more experienced than Lin Pingzhi, and he understood when he got closer, "Your horse has injured its hooves." It seems that I haven't run for a long time, and then suddenly I ran too hard. ”
Lin Pingzhi pointed by him, only to find that it was indeed injured the horse's hooves, the horse's left hind leg has not dared to use much force, and the horse's leg was pulled up to look at the horse's hooves, and there was some blood.
What can I do? Lin Pingzhi was a little worried, there were still more than 200 miles left, could he run all the way back?
Mo Xiaobao gave him an idea, there was a mule and horse market twenty miles ahead. As long as Lin Pingzhi is willing, he can go there and exchange a horse with the horse dealer. Lin Pingzhi's horse is a good horse, and the other party is absolutely willing to change a bad horse.
Mo Xiaobao was very enthusiastic, and he could see at a glance that Lin Pingzhi was a rookie who was wandering the rivers and lakes for the first time and didn't understand anything. After doing good things in the end, I simply accompanied him to the mule and horse market.
On the way, Lin Pingzhi asked about Mo Xiaobao's purpose, and he also told him frankly. The lone Tian Boguang thief provoked the Hengshan faction last time, and Dingyi Shi was too jealous and hateful, and he kept calling on people to hunt down and kill this lewd thief. A while ago, Tian Boguang was chased and ran to Henan, and the Hengshan faction also sent people to help, and Mo Xiaobao was also one of them. Of course, a young disciple like Mo Xiaobao is looking around for news, and when he really meets Tian Boguang, he is not the opponent of the other party.
Lin Pingzhi listened, but he was also a little itchy. Tian Boguang seriously injured his senior brother Ling Hu Chong, causing him to be punished for thinking about it for a year. Tian Boguang can also be regarded as a Liangzi with the Huashan faction. It's just that Tian Boguang's trace will not be found for a while, and he has made an appointment with his parents to go home for the New Year, so he can only say sorry to Mo Xiaobao.
Mo Xiaobao helped Lin Pingzhi, but it was just a convenient move, after all, the Hengshan faction and the Huashan faction have been friends for many years, and they just made an incense. I didn't expect Lin Pingzhi to be of any help, and even the Hengshan faction helped to arrest Tian Boguang just to befriend the Hengshan faction, and it didn't matter if he could catch it or not.
Mo Xiaobao is an old Jianghu, and he put Lin Pingzhi's words clean along the way, and even told him the location of Lin Pingzhi's house in Luoyang. Mo Xiaobao was funny in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all, although the other party was a rookie, he was not necessarily a weak chicken, and the Huashan disciples who could go down the mountain alone were not idle.
Everything in the market was done by Mo Xiaobao enthusiastically, and he also helped Lin Pingzhi pick a durable inferior horse in the hands of the horse dealer, although he couldn't run fast, but there would be no problems.
Lin Pingzhi thanked him for his kindness, said goodbye to Mo Xiaobao, and continued his journey. This is just a small episode, Yue Buqun and Lin Zhennan can let Lin Pingzhi go on the road alone, that is, it is expected that there will be no major problems on the prosperous road between Huashan and Luoyang. People come and go, the river is endless, there is a market in 20 miles, and the county seat is 50 miles, and it is almost impossible for bandits and bandits, killing people and goods, to appear on this avenue.
For the rest of the journey, Lin Pingzhi rode his inferior horse, swaying all the way, and it took a day and a half to finally arrive in Luoyang. The trip took half a day longer than expected, but overall it was smooth and steady.
After entering Luoyang City, Lin Ping inquired all the way and found the house. As soon as I looked at the familiar banner of the Fuwei Dart Bureau at the door, I knew that it must be right.
Lin Pingzhi stepped forward, and the walker at the door stepped forward and asked: "Guest officer, this is the Fuwei Dart Bureau." Don't know what you want to do? ”
Lin Pingzhi arched his hand and smiled, "In Xia Lin Pingzhi, the master of the Fuwei Dart Bureau is the father. ”
The executioner suddenly shouted excitedly, "It turned out to be Master Lin Shaodart, forgive the little one, and the little one will show you the way." Mr. Lin has been chattering for the past two days, but I didn't expect you to come back today. ”
With the shouting of the executioner, the Fuwei dart game suddenly became lively. Lin Pingzhi looked at these familiar scenes, and suddenly his thoughts about his parents welled up.
"Ping'er!" Lin Mu was in a hurry, and she came faster than Lin Zhennan. Lin Pingzhi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and was pulled into her arms, "My son, if you can't eat or dress well in Huashan, you will suffer!" ”
"Mother!" Lin Pingzhi embarrassedly broke free from his mother's arms, "I eat well and dress well in Huashan, my master and sister can love me, and my brothers and sisters are also very good to me." You see, I'm tall and strong now! ”
"Yes, let my mother see it!" Lin Mu looked up and down, and sure enough, Lin Pingzhi was much taller than before, and his body was much stronger. That is, the delicate face misleads people, in fact, the current Lin Pingzhi is nearly 1.9 meters tall, weighs 180 pounds, and has strong muscles under the green shirt, which can be regarded as a big man!
But Mother Lin, who loves her son, can't see these in her eyes, "Oh, son, why are you like this, practicing martial arts must be very hard!" ”
"Black?!" Lin Pingzhi feels good about himself, he is not as fair as before, like a big girl, but he is definitely not dark, just a normal complexion.
Lin Zhennan had also rushed over, and he was also very excited to see his son, but he didn't have an emotional outburst like Lin's mother.
"Okay, madam, the child has worked hard all the way, let's go back to the room and talk again." Lin Zhennan comforted, said that, turned around and instructed his subordinates, "Take the young master's horse well...... Hey? Speaking of this, he realized that Lin Pingzhi actually rode an inferior horse, "Ping'er, why did you come back on this kind of horse?" ”
"Oh, Dad, don't mention it, I'm unlucky!" When Lin Pingzhi saw his father and mother, he also began to be coquettish, "I injured my hooves on the road from Huashan, but I haven't found out yet." Fortunately, I met Senior Brother Mo from the Hengshan faction and took me to change a bad horse in the roadside market. ”
"Oh, how can this be, Ping'er is really hard. By the way, your little snow dragon has also been transported, and that horse misses you very much and never lets anyone else ride it. Lin Zhennan also loves his son, and he has traveled thousands of miles to pull his son's foal from Fuzhou to Luoyang, and this money can buy two more horses.
"Little Snow Dragon is also here, great! I still like the little snow dragon, I can't get used to other horses! Lin Pingzhi's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
Lin Pingzhi, who returned to his parents, regained his childishness, indulged in the pampering of his parents, and almost forgot everything about business, and didn't remember it until noon the next day.
Lin Pingzhi hurriedly found Lin Zhennan and told Yue Buqun's words as they were.
"Great!" Lin Zhennan was extremely excited when he heard that he could cultivate Huashan Dao Xuangong.
Thousands of good things are not as good as themselves, and thousands of things are not as good as themselves. Since the turmoil of the Qingcheng faction, Lin Zhennan knows that the danger of the Fuwei Dart Game has not completely passed, and there are still many people who covet the evil sword spectrum. It is naturally important to hire a master, but it is more important to improve your strength as soon as possible.
The internal strength of the sword technique configured to ward off evil requires continuous storage of internal force, and after each cast, the internal strength will be greatly reduced, and it must be continuously cultivated to make up for it. Lin Zhennan urgently needs a passable internal strength method to make up for the shortcomings.
For Yue Buqun's promised achievements in internal strength, he can join the Huashan faction and become an elder of the outer sect, Lin Zhennan is even more looking forward to it. With this identity, no matter how strong the opponent is, he has to give some face, and he has to weigh it before he makes a move, whether he can provoke the Huashan faction or the Wuyue Sword faction!
At that moment, Lin Zhennan pulled Lin Pingzhi to the quiet room and ordered his subordinates not to disturb. He wanted to complete the introduction of Huashan Dao Xuangong within a few days of Lin Pingzhi's stay in Luoyang.
Lin Pingzhi took out the secret book of Huashan Dao Xuangong, explained it to Lin Zhennan sentence by sentence, and after he understood it thoroughly, he taught him how to generate a sense of qi and how to condense qi luck. All this was taught to Lin Pingzhi by Yue Buqun eight months ago, and he is now repeating it to Lin Zhennan one by one.
After all, Lin Zhennan has been cultivating the Inner Strength Heart Method for many years, and he still knows the basic things at all. It didn't take long for him to develop a sense of qi and began to slowly accumulate internal strength. Lin Pingzhi checked it out, praised his father well, and told him to continue cultivating.
In the end, Lin Pingzhi suddenly remembered something and solemnly admonished: "Dad, this set of internal strength is peaceful in the heart, if you cultivate well, nothing will happen." However, there is one thing to keep in mind, it is absolutely impossible to drive the internal force to ward off evil spirits and open up the meridians, I noticed that the internal force is hot and fierce, and most of the problems will occur when it flows through the twelve meridians. Great-ancestor Yuantu Gong must have his reason for creating such an ingenious mental method, and he must not try it! ”
Lin Zhennan saw the solemnity of Lin Pingzhi's words, and hurriedly nodded and promised.
