Chapter 6: [Lin Mansion, Old Servant]

Chapter VI

Walking on the wide and clean streets of Van Mill City, Lin Tao slowly paced forward with a thoughtful look. Tonight's cocktail party had to be said to be a big blow to him, perhaps it made him more aware of the necessity of money and strength to live in this world. If it weren't for the atmosphere of the drinking party in the end, Russell would have to take a break, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to get good. In the previous life, as a cultivator, he never bothered about money, plus Lin Tao had always lived in Qingyang Peak, and with his strength, he was not good enough to deal with cultivators, so naturally he would not suffer any.

It is true that his dream is to be a young master who does nothing, but unfortunately there is not much that can make him squander this identity. "It seems that everything needs to be worked on by yourself. Lin Tao slowly exhaled, his eyes gradually brightened, and the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Looking down at his body, Lin Tao smiled bitterly: "This body is really bad, it is completely hollowed out by wine, much worse than the body in the previous life." "Fortunately, he has the cultivation method of the entire Qingyang Peak, and if he persistently cultivates, he will have a lot of capital to protect himself when he recovers his former strength. "I just don't know what level the ninth layer of the foundation is at in this world. ”

Once you've made up your mind, the natural next step is implementation.

At night, the city of Van Mill is much quieter, some of the shops are closed, and most of the remaining lights are brothels and other places. Most of the pedestrians on the street are drunkards or prostitutes with prostitutes and dancers half-in their arms, and the serious ones have long since rested.

After a while, Lin Tao finally returned home, the Lin family's mansion.

Everywhere you look, there is a scene of decay, the leaves and withered flowers of the camphor trees all over the ground have not been cleaned, and a thick layer of cobwebs has formed in the corners of the walls.

The Lin family has long been unable to pay the salaries of the servants, except for Lin Tao, the huge mansion is only Lin Tao's father, an old servant who has lived in the Lin Mansion for fifty or sixty years, and the last maid also left a few months ago. In my impression, Lin Tao's father is a typical second ancestor, when he was young, he drank all day long, gambled, looked for flowers and asked willows, and his huge family property was lost by him, and after Lin Tao's mother died, he was drunk day and night, and he had no energy, no ability and didn't want to take care of this family. Fu Bo entered the Lin family when the Lin family was at its most beautiful, and walked all the way with the ups and downs of the Lin family for decades, although he saw the decline of the Lin family day by day, he felt uncomfortable, but he remembered the old feelings, and there was no place to go when he was old, so he stayed in the Lin Mansion until today.

"Young Master, you're back!" Just as Lin Tao was thinking, an old man with white hair and who was over the past few years stood in the distance with a lamp and shouted, his voice was not loud, and under the reflection of the light, his face full of age spots and wrinkles was so old.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Lin Tao suddenly felt as if something had been teased in his heart, and an indescribable taste instantly filled his heart.

To be honest, due to the reason of possession, Lin Tao did not feel that he was the prodigal son he used to be, and he didn't disdain to be that kind of person, he wanted to be a wanderer. It's just that because he first came to this world, everything needs to have a process of adaptation and learning, so he has to bear this identity, but he has never regarded himself as a member of the Lin family in his heart. Until the moment just now, seeing the old man's eyes full of helplessness and sadness, Lin Tao instantly felt as if he should do something.

"Yes, Fauber. It's so late, why don't you sleep yet?" Lin Tao said with concern.

Being so concerned by Lin Tao, Fu Bo felt a little surprised, after all, the man in front of him was raised by himself since he was a child, what kind of character he knows best, where would Lin Tao, who is empty-eyed and untouchable, say such caring words on weekdays, today is a big surprise to Fu Bo.

"Oh, I was asleep. It's just that just now your father was drunk and ran back, tossing for a long time, just fell asleep, heard the sound of the door opening, I ran out to see, sure enough, it was you back. When Fu Bo mentioned Lin Tao's father, he suddenly looked helpless and heartbroken.

Lin Tao snorted and said, "Fu Bo, the next time he comes back drunk like this, you will let him fend for himself, don't worry about him, I believe that he will wake up on the street of Van Mill City the next morning and will climb back by himself." Originally, Lin Tao didn't regard himself as a member of the Lin family, and he had no feelings for the so-called father.

Fauber's face was embarrassed, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed helplessly. This old servant who has lived in the Lin family for forty or fifty years still retains the concept of serving his master with all his might, and feels that he can't do it anyway according to what Lin Tao said, but looking back, it seems that there is no better way than to do this.

"Alright, Fauber, it's not early, I'm going to rest, you should go back early to rest. After speaking, Lin Tao walked to his bedroom with the light in Fu Bo's hand.

Looking at the back, which was not wide and even slightly emaciated, Fauber's wrinkled and age-spotted face slowly dripped a few tears. "Young Master seems to have changed, grown up, and sensible! Could it be that Lord Lin Meng's soul has manifested in heaven?"

At this moment, the heart of this old man in his twilight years was full of joy. For more than 30 years, since the lord inherited the family business and became the head of the Lin family, the situation of the Lin family has deteriorated, and it is getting worse day by day. Fu Bo, who had long regarded the Lin family as his own home, and followed Lin Meng to fight the world back then, was anxious when he looked at the scene in front of him, but as a servant, he really had no right to say anything, so he could only bury this pain and anxiety deep in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to see hope, the hope of the Lin family to rise again......

After returning to the room, Lin Tao began to practice the foundation building method "Qingyang Sutra" according to the memory of the previous life. Although he didn't know if he would have the ability to protect himself even if he succeeded, the form in front of him forced him to do so, and the only exercise at hand that could make him stronger was the Qingyang Sutra. After all, this body is too weak, weak and weak, and there is no power to restrain the chicken.

Lin Tao smiled bitterly, the world is impermanent. I thought that I could enjoy myself all day long in this life, but in the end I still had to practice this "Qingyang Sutra", but the difference was that in the previous life, he didn't like to cultivate, and the practice was completely forced and helpless, but in this life, he took the initiative and was very eager to do it. The changes in the middle have to be said to be the creation of people.

The whole body relaxed, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and drove away the distracting thoughts in his heart, Lin Tao put all his thoughts on cultivation. The hair and skin on his body were all stretched, and a trace of invisible heaven and earth aura slowly poured into Lin Tao's body......
