Chapter 42: The Mysterious Old Man
The Lin family has two piers by the sea and also owns a huge sea vessel. Lin Xiaotian has a special obsession with the ocean, and after handing over Lin Jiabao to Lin Zhenlong over the years, he often takes more than 100 people to sea by boat, and only comes back once every one or two months. Every time Lin Xiaotian came back, he would bring back a large number of sea fish and sea beasts and sell them at the fish shop in Yunsha City, which greatly supplemented Lin Jiabao's strength.
At this time, in the front hall of Zhenlong Mansion, in addition to Lin Zhenlong and Lin Zhenhu brothers, there was also a middle-aged man and a teenager with the same dark face beside the old patriarch Lin Xiaotian. After seeing them, Lin Zhou also quickly recalled that this middle-aged man was one of his clan uncles named Lin Zhenhai. The mid-eighth order cultivator also likes to go to sea and has been by Lin Xiaotian's side for several years.
The young man's name is Lin Dong, he is the son of Lin Zhenhai, two years older than Lin Zhou, and he has been cultivating in the middle of the fifth order.
Seeing Lin Zhou come in, Lin Dong just nodded slightly to him, because his father often went to sea, Lin Dong lived with his mother in Yunsha City most of the time, and he didn't have much contact with Lin Zhou. The relationship is not as hostile as between Lin Tao and Lin Zhou, but it is also not intimate. Coupled with the arrival of the martial arts competition, the teenagers of this age in the clan are secretly competing with each other, and everyone above the fifth order wants to compete as much as possible.
Even if they can't get the position of successor head of the family, if they perform well in the tournament, they can also get the position of successor elder, and their order when they succeed the family elder in the future will also refer to tomorrow's tournament.
In other words, Lin Dong and Lin Zhou are also in a competitive relationship now.
"Zhou'er, what happened in the Wutai yesterday, the Great Elder is going to kill you?" Lin Zhenlong frowned and asked Lin Zhou, because there were many onlookers at that time, and as soon as Lin Zhenlong returned to the Lin Mansion, he heard the clansmen talk about it, and now he wanted to hear what the person in question, Lin Zhou, said.
"Here's the thing...... Lin Zhou recounted what had happened in the past few days...... Except for the taunt system, everything was explained in detail to Lin Zhenlong and Lin Xiaotian, but it did not include the fact that Zhao Hengjiang and the three of them intercepted him in the back mountain just now and was counter-killed.
The grenade used in that incident is really beyond the comprehension of the people of this world. And it is located in the middle of nowhere, Lin Zhou has already buried the bodies of the three people, even if it is discovered by the Zhao family in the future, he can not admit it.
Of course, when that time comes, Lin Zhou will face two situations. One is that his strength has increased greatly, and he is not afraid that the Zhao family will come to look for trouble, and it doesn't matter if he comes to kill one by one, and one by one, and the second is that his strength is still very weak, in that case, he will not admit that he killed him, and the Zhao family has no basis for suspecting him.
Of course, Lin Zhou would prefer the former situation.
When telling his father Lin Zhenlong, grandfather Lin Xiaotian and others about the disputes he had with Lin Shi, Lin Tao, Lin Zhenshan and others in the past few days, Lin Zhou had to make up a mysterious old man in order to make up for the sudden improvement of his martial arts cultivation and avoid saying the ridicule system. said that the meridians of his body were opened by the mysterious old man, and the martial arts cultivation was also forcibly instilled into his body by the mysterious old man, and every time he was in a critical moment, he was rescued by the mysterious old man.
The mysterious old man's martial arts cultivation is unfathomable, so no one else can see him.
"In other words, your martial arts are all taught by the mysterious old man, Lin Zhenshan wanted to kill you on the martial arts platform yesterday, and you were rescued by the mysterious old man when you suddenly disappeared? He also took you to a secret realm to stay all day?" Lin Xiaotian and Lin Zhenlong looked at Lin Zhou in great amazement.
"Well, yes. Lin Zhou nodded to them with an oath.
"Could it be that my Lin family ancestor has appeared?" Lin Xiaotian glanced at Lin Zhenlong, and then muttered.
"Surely yes!Otherwise, how can all this be explained?By the way, Zhou'er, didn't that mysterious old man tell you anything else?" Lin Zhenlong then asked Lin Zhou.
He didn't like to talk too much, and he didn't answer many times when asked, just asked me to practice martial arts hard and glorify my ancestors for the Lin family. Lin Zhou's lies can only be made up like this.
"That must be the ancestor of my Lin family, there is no doubt that the sky has eyes! The sky has eyes! It may be that he saw the efforts of my father and son, and he was sincere, the ancestors of my Lin family did not want the Lin family to decline in their generation, so he specially appeared to help Zhou'er!" Lin Xiaotian sighed excitedly and inexplicably.
"How many steps has Lin Zhou's current Xuan Qi cultivation reached?" Lin Dong asked Lin Zhou with a little envy,
Lin Dong came back to participate in the martial arts competition this time, and there was only one opponent he identified, that is, Lin Tao. Unexpectedly, Lin Tao was beaten by Lin Zhou, as if his martial arts cultivation had been abolished, so now he turned his attention to Lin Zhou.
Lin Zhou just said that the ancestor appeared to teach martial arts, which made Lin Dong very envious, but with his relatively simple heart, he did not doubt the truth or falsehood.
"**Brother, the clan brother is currently cultivating to the early stage of the fifth order of Xuan Qi. Lin Zhou smiled at Lin Dong, although he and Lin Dong were not very familiar in his predecessor's memory, there was no contradiction between him and this clan brother, once when he was humiliated by Lin Tao and others, Lin Dong happened to pass by, and he couldn't look at it and reprimanded Lin Tao and those people a few words.
Lin Dong just said a few words and walked away, maybe he didn't remember it at all, but his predecessor Lin Zhou remembered this matter very clearly. There is revenge and revenge, and there is kindness to repay kindness, Lin Zhou naturally seemed very polite to Lin Dong.
"Oh, I've had a little success with my wave boxing lately, and we'll be able to compete on the jousting table tomorrow. Lin Dong mentioned it to Lin Zhou, and his words were very frank.
"Well, when the time comes, I will ask my brother for more advice. Lin Zhou also replied to Lin Dong very frankly.
"It's normal for brothers of the same clan to learn from each other, and what Lin Zhenshan's father and son did really disappointed me!" Lin Xiaotian sighed.
Lin Zhenshan is the son of his brother, when he succeeded to the position of the head of the family, Lin Zhenshan sent Lin Zhenlong too much, Lin Xiaotian did not avoid his relatives, and let Lin Zhenlong sit on the position of the successor to the head of the family, he knew that Lin Zhenshan had always been very unhappy in his heart.
But I didn't expect that this Lin Zhenshan would openly poison a junior in a clan for tomorrow's martial arts competition, this behavior is really bad!
"Yes! This Lin Zhenshan is getting more and more bastard! I really regret that I didn't kill him with one palm last time!" Lin Zhenlong was of course furious after hearing what Lin Zhou said about Lin Zhenshan's father and son.
"I've recently heard some news about the Great Elder, but I don't know if I have any evidence yet. Lin Zhenhu looked at Lin Xiaotian and opened his mouth with some hesitation.
"It doesn't hurt to hear about it. Lin Xiaotian nodded to Lin Zhenhu.
"I've heard people say...... That Lin Zhenshan and the Zhao family in Yanshi Town have colluded, and they have been secretly in contact, and even betrayed some of the Lin family's interests to the Zhao family, and now their father and son are likely to hide in Zhaojiabao. Lin Zhenhu said it to Lin Xiaotian and Lin Zhenlong.
"If this is true, I should kill this traitor with my own hands!" Lin Zhenlong looked angry.
"Zhenlong, don't get excited, after tomorrow's ancestor worship, we will find out this matter and then make a plan. Lin Xiaotian calmed Lin Zhenlong. Anyway, this Lin Zhenshan is also Ganba's son-in-law, Lin Jiabao is mixed in the land of Tonghe Town, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he must give Ganba a face. If this matter is necessary, he will go to Gan Mansion in person, and after stating Lin Zhenshan's evil deeds to the town lord Gan Ba in person, he will punish him in **, which seems to be justified.
"Father, grandfather, uncles, this matter is all caused by Lin Zhou, and the grievances with Lin Zhenshan, you don't have to bother, I will have a break with him. Lin Zhou said to Lin Zhenlong, Lin Xiaotian and the others.
"That thief has a seventh-order peak cultivation, Zhou'er, don't act recklessly, this matter is solved by your own father. Lin Zhenlong waved his hand to Lin Zhou, obviously having an idea in his heart.
