Chapter 16: Sect Master Bai's Visit
"Senior brother! What do you see embroidered on that sachet? Lin Jingjing asked.
"It should be some flowers and plants that you girls like!" Xiao Han said and took out the remaining two sachets.
The sachet is made of fine satin, and the orange background is embroidered with delicate money patterns, revealing a touch of luxury.
It has an icy feel to the touch, and the seams are outlined with silver silk threads, which is splendid and delicate.
"Doesn't seem like anything special?" Lin Jingjing said with a frown.
"Nothing special? yes, there's no special place for you to let me buy it, isn't that the same! What do you have to find to get the most out of it? Xiao Han's heart felt like a needle prick, and there were bursts of tingling pain.
The two of them opened the sachet and looked at it, and suddenly made a discovery.
I saw that the surface of the sachet was embroidered with fierce and domineering dragons, but there were not just one or two, but there were eight dragons with different appearances. They were dancing around a bead with their teeth and claws, as if they were vying for the ownership of the bead.
Seeing this, Xiao Han's eyes suddenly lit up a little, he gently stroked them with his fingers, and said, "The eight dragons on this must have a deep meaning, the dragon has been a symbol of power since ancient times, does it indicate that there are eight forces fighting for something?" โ
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but fall silent.
"Think about it as you go." Xiao Han said lightly.
Lin Jingjing was the first to express her conjecture.
After these days of contact, she has learned the secret that Xiao Han is the tenth prince of the Xuanlong Dynasty.
Xiao Han didn't hide too much about this, Lin Jingjing combined with what Xiao Han just said that the dragon symbolizes power, and made a judgment.
"The eight dragons symbolize the eight princes, who are vying for power."
Xiao Han smiled, patted Lin Jingjing's little head, and whispered, "Usually read more books!" Of the few princes, I am still alive, and besides, there are ten princes, but there are only eight dragons here, which obviously has nothing to do with the prince. โ
Lin Jingjing nodded thoughtfully, staring at Xiao Han with burning eyes, hoping that he would be able to answer his question.
After a while, Xiao Han smiled: "Now, the Nine Pluto God Sect is going to be unlucky!" โ
"Why?" Lin Jingjing asked.
"These eight divine dragons do not necessarily represent the eight forces, but the forces of all sides. And the beads that the eight divine dragons are fighting for are most likely referring to the throne that controls the Xuanlong Empire. โ
Lin Jingjing looked dazed, looking like she wanted to say something and stopped, and she couldn't say why she came for a long time.
Xiao Han explained, "It's simple! There are many forces that are interested in this territory of the Xuanlong Empire. The Nine Pluto Cult is in the light, and most of them are in the shadows, and the current Nine Pluto Cult is in danger! โ
"Oh! Does Senior Brother have the ability to compete with them now? Lin Jingjing asked with a fake feeling.
"Nope!" Xiao Han said decisively.
"Then what are you still having fun with?"
"In the future, I can only slowly become stronger and build a force of my own. Find a way to take back the Xuanlong Empire! But the master and his old man don't seem to plan to teach me martial arts! Xiao Han sighed and said.
Lin Jingjing shook Xiao Han's arm and comforted, "There is still a long way to go!" I don't want my brother to live in intrigue all day long! โ
Xiao Han felt a warm current in his heart, he had been in the other world for a few weeks unconsciously, and he had only existed in the novel world he had imagined before, but it appeared in front of his eyes, which made him feel frightened at first, and then after getting acquainted with Li Zhen and Lin Jingjing, Xiao Han felt a burst of happiness, glad that he could meet them, this should be fate.
Then, the two of them did not delay any longer, and hurried back to the mountains after shopping.
This time I went up the mountain, and I don't know when I will be able to come down again.
On this day, a well-mannered scholar came to Lin Xiuzhu's room.
Holding a folding fan in his hand, he paced slowly in front of the house, each step seemed calm and graceful, and his gait gave people a sense of calmness.
"Sect Master Bai! I didn't expect you to visit the Humble House in person today! Lin Xiuzhu said unhurriedly while making tea.
The scholar's steps came to an abrupt halt, he looked up at the beautiful scenery in the mountains, and said lightly, "Beautiful things will one day wither!" You see, the green grass and delicate wildflowers everywhere now will wither and wither in winter. โ
"Do you mean this cabin or myself?" Lin Xiuzhu asked softly.
"Do you love the way you live?" The scholar turned his head and asked.
"I found my daughter and took in an apprentice, and it seemed all good to me." Lin Xiuzhu picked up the teacup and lowered his head to take a sip.
"This kind of life is excellent for your murderous life. What you did in the first half of your life can get this kind of treatment! With a smile on his face, the scholar put down his saber and walked into the room and sat down.
Lin Xiuzhu had a smile on his face that had not appeared for a long time, and he was full of expectations for the future. He was very happy that he could get the answer he wanted from the scholar's words.
took a sip of tea, and then said, "You have a new apprentice, you might as well let him come out and show me!" โ
"I told him to go down the hill and buy something." Lin Xiuzhang shook his head and said.
As soon as these words came out, the scholar's brows furrowed suddenly, and then he slapped his palm on the coffee table, and said in a deep voice, "Don't think that I don't know the identity of that kid, just let him out, aren't you afraid that he will be arrested?" โ
Lin Xiuzhu let out a faint breath and said, "That kid is extremely talented, and he has mastered the medical book I gave him in just three weeks!" โ
"You're going to teach him only medicine?" The scholar wondered.
"Isn't it good to cure the sick and save people?" Lin Xiuzhu asked rhetorically.
The scholar laughed, "I let Fengji Sect live in seclusion temporarily, but I also want to accumulate heritage and seek a glimmer of life." We will definitely help him and make the Xuanlong Dynasty rise again! He didn't have the leisure to do anything to cure diseases, and reviving the Xuanlong Dynasty was his task. As a human minister, it should be so! โ
The scribe's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Lin Xiuzhu word by word, and said, "This Fengji Sect is not a separate force, but a hidden force under the Xuanlong Dynasty, which specializes in serving the Dynasty!" โ
"I understand what you mean, I will cultivate Xiao Han well!" Lin Xiuzhu said.
"That kid turned out to be called Xiao Han!" The scholar muttered quietly.
The scholar then drank a few cups of tea and left.
Before leaving, he said the last sentence meaningfully: "There is still a long time before the cold winter, and the sapling can grow into a towering tree during this time!" โ
"Sure enough, the crisis will come, but not now." Lin Xiuzhu exhaled deeply, and he already had his own plans in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Han and Lin Jingjing knocked on the door of the wooden house.
"Master! We're back! โ
