The first paragraph: Canghuan Scroll Chapter 4: Shadow Gate
According to what Lin Sheng said, City Lord Liu was preparing a banquet for the elders of the family, and Lin Yuan and the others were just in time, and they could eat and drink immediately after entering the city!
Cloud Sword City City Lord's Mansion, Lin Sheng led the way to the main hall, and there was a middle-aged general in soft armor waiting in the hall, which looked a little similar to Lin Sheng!
When the general saw Lin Yuan, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Lin Hai, the general who is guarding the city in Xiayun Sword City, hereby waits for Lin Yuan's son!"
Lin Sheng on the side also smiled: "This is my father, I was just appointed by Director Liu Cheng as the general to defend the city a few days ago!"
Lin Yuan looked at the father and son carefully, they were worthy of being a talent that could be favored by the uncle! His cultivation was almost not below him, and this General Lin Hai was even a master of the Xuanhai Realm! With such strength, it was a match to be the general who defended the city!
Although the other party's posture was very low, Lin Yuan didn't plan to put on a young master's stand, he stretched out his hand to support the general, "Don't be polite, you two, Lin Yuan is just a junior who is not yet eighteen years old, and he is just a mere thunder spirit body, don't be so polite!"
......
Lin Hai was originally loyal to the Lin family, otherwise he would not have been given the surname Lin. The first time I saw this outstanding genius of the Lin family, the other party was not only as rumored, but even a little more!
Even with his old face, he couldn't catch Lin Yuan's words, so he smiled bitterly and nodded yes!
"What the young master said is that the city lord is entertaining the adults from the family in the back hall, please come over with you!"
"That being the case, please join me too!" Lin Yuan put away his smile and arched his hand and said, "All the clans rely on everyone to keep one side safe and protect this state!"
With such an opportunity, Lin Hai naturally would not let it go, although he was loyal to the entire Lin family. However, there are also factions in the Lin family, and it is not too obvious between the young masters of the Lin family now, but as time goes by, the rivalry between the young masters will gradually intensify! At this time, if you stand in line first, you may be appreciated by Young Master Lin Yuan!
Moreover, Lin Yuan, as the son of the second master Lin Yuanxiu, has a relationship with Lin Hai's top boss Lin Yuanjin is an uncle and nephew, and he is on Lin Yuan's side, and he is not afraid that Lin Yuanjin will be dissatisfied!
I didn't take a few steps, and I turned in front of the front hall, and I arrived at the back hall of Lin Haizhong!
I saw that the back hall was ten zhang wide on the left and right, and there was a candlestick made of fine silver in each of the four corners of the room, and more than a dozen red candles were burned on the candlestick, which brightened the entire back hall!
In the center, there is a table of eight immortals, the table is hexagonal and six-square, there are all kinds of delicacies, there are the unique famous foods in Canghuanzhou, and there are also several kinds of big dishes that are famous in the Ming Dynasty! The most eye-catching thing is that the dish occupies almost the center of the entire table!
This dish is made of hundreds of flowers, collecting the first drop of dew every morning, and this step alone requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources and time!
The picked flowers and dew are then sealed in a small bottle and named Flower Dew. Store the bottle in a cool place for 7749 days before you can take it out!
When it is time to serve, put more than ten kinds of fresh and sweet melons and fruits mixed with various colored petals into a beautiful plate, open the cap of the bottle of successfully brewed flower dew, and just wait quietly for a stick of incense! After the aroma is completely volatilized, the veteran will come out and pour the flower dew evenly on the plate and quickly send it to the dining table!
Interestingly, although this dish is called a dish, it is actually inedible! Its main function is to decorate and exude aroma! Moreover, the person who developed this dish is a disciple of the Hua family, and its main role is also to entertain her guests! Therefore, it is very unreasonable for this dish to appear on the table at this time!
If nothing else, just looking at the two monks with extraordinary bearing sitting at the table could understand it! Lin Yuan, who was on the left, was all too familiar. At a glance, this person's white jade head, and his face and appearance are even more superior, in Lin Yuan's opinion, he is not weaker than him at all, and the slight hoarfrost on that person's temples gives a sense of security, which can really be called a girl killer!
The one on the right is wearing a brocade official uniform, and even on such an occasion as eating, he has a heavy knife pinned to his waist! This person crowned his thick black long hair, and his face was even more square with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his figure was different from what Lin Yuan imagined, and that big general's belly was really detrimental to his majesty. However, it can still be seen that this person is a martial artist who refines the body flow!
One of these two people is mature and steady, and the other is wild and uninhibited, no matter how you look at it, they are not suitable for eating this dish together!
Could it be that these two people secretly formed feelings when they were wandering together, and now looking back again, the feelings that have been suppressed for a long time in their hearts are completely released!
Lin Yuan hurriedly shook his head and quickly extinguished that thought, it was better for him to pretend not to know about this kind of thing!
Lin Yuan regained his composure, and then a playful smile appeared on his face, and he said to the man with a white head: "I am the adult, it turns out that the fourth uncle of the Lin family's merry and talented man is here!"
After speaking, he turned his head like the official uniform warrior and arched his hand, and also said: "This is the city lord Liu, I have long heard the fourth uncle talk about Uncle Liu's heroic deeds, and today I saw that the results are not extraordinary, this body is a few circles stronger than the fourth uncle told me!"
"Haha, you, you dare to make fun of your uncle for a few days away from home!" Lin Yuantu smiled heartily at first, he was already familiar with Lin Yuan's character, he didn't take Lin Yuan's words to heart at all!
After finishing speaking, he said to the man in official uniform: "Old Liu, don't be surprised, this kid has always been like this! Just get used to it!"
City Lord Liu waved his hand, "This is the true temperament, if you don't peep at the world-famous son of the Lin family, this meeting is even better than the rumors!"
As the lord of a city and a close friend of the fourth master of the Lin family, there is no need to compliment a junior disciple like Lin Yuan! But his praise for Lin Yuan at the moment is beyond words, on the one hand, he really thinks that Lin Yuan is good, and on the other hand, it is also due to this person's bold personality and not being confined to secular regulations!
Although Lin Yuan's personality is sometimes competitive, he can also distinguish the importance of the matter. put away the hippie smile at the moment, and turned to a serious salute, and gave the half of the century-old ginseng that had been prepared!
City Lord Liu's big face was almost happy, this junior spoke and acted so flatteringly, and it gave him enough face, and immediately beckoned Lin Yuan and a few people to take a seat.
For a while, the old wine on the table suddenly bottomed out. Maybe it was the meeting of old friends, who were particularly affectionate, Lin Yuantu and Liu City Lord looked at each other, but they were speechless, only the glass of white wine in their stomachs!
And Lin Sheng and Lin Hai are companions, so they naturally have to keep up with the footsteps of the two adults, but their alcohol consumption is far less good than that of the two old fritters who have experienced a lot of wind and rain, and at this moment their consciousness is a little drowsy, and the wine glass in their hands is a little unstable!
Lin Yuan and the others were quiet, he was still a minor at this time, and he was not allowed to drink alcohol in the Lin family rules! Even if he could really drink, he didn't want to drink at this moment, because almost no one ate this big table of dishes!
The boys know that it's best to have a table with the adults at the banquet, so they're all busy drinking and no one is going to grab the meatballs with you!
The wine has already passed the third round, and I don't know how much I have drunk, and Lin Hai and his son can't stand it and have already withdrawn. City Lord Liu was about to lose his general's belly, and even the fourth uncle, who had the best amount of alcohol, had a three-point halo on his face!
Lin Yuan removed the last trace of fish meat on the entire fish bone, and a complete fish skeleton appeared in front of him, and the skeleton of the Xuan Qi Manipulator automatically jumped under the table!
Lin Yuan looked at Fourth Uncle Lin Yuantu, and finally asked, "Fourth Uncle is here this time, not just to meet old friends!"
Hearing this, City Lord Liu also put down his wine glass, and put the belly that was obviously three times bigger on the table of the Eight Immortals. Even the slightly swaying head stopped swinging! He was also a little curious about this matter! His old friend's cultivation was gradually improving, and he was highly valued in the Lin family!
And this time, he came to Yunxiao City for no reason to live for a few days, and under his own soft grinding and hard bubbles, he relieved himself and said that Lin Yuan was coming, and there was the scene of Lin Sheng waiting for Lin Yuan at the gate of the city!
But it stands to reason that a monk of Lin Yuan's level can't use Lin Yuantu's guard at the peak of Xuanhai at all, and even if he really uses it, he can do without Lin Yuantu's action!
City Lord Liu knows his old friend's talent better than anyone else, and with his cultivation at the peak of the Xuanhai Sea, he can completely compare to the average Xuanxing Realm master!
Lin Yuantu put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Lin Yuandao, and said, "It's not that you kid is too ostentatious, some mice have noticed you!"
Lin Yuan's mouth kept stopping, and he continued to eat the food on the table, "Don't make fun of me, even if those guys from the ghost law are eyeing me, they don't deserve your shot, don't be a five-way family that takes a fancy to me!"
Lin Yuantu was helpless, his nephew was more playful by nature, and it was not too much to say that he was stubborn, relying on the love of his grandfather and father, he could be said to be the demon king of the mixed world in the family! Even the two girls who were on the tip of the elders' hearts were teased by him many times, so he had to transfer those two out of the Lin family to cultivate! For these things, the elders were not less angry!
But he was always more attentive to his cultivation, and he didn't waste the body of the thunder spirit. Sometimes he is too smart, for example, this time he came up and guessed that it was the forces of the five realms that wanted to deal with him!
Lin Yuantu put away the joke, and even his slightly drunken face returned to its normal color.
He looked directly into Lin Yuan's eyes and said, "I'm afraid what you said is not false."
At this time, Lin Yuan had to stop eating, he didn't expect that the little monk who had entered the body realm alone would be targeted by an initiation force, was it because he was handsome enough, talented enough, and the body of the thunder spirit?
Lin Yuantu didn't expect his nephew's brain circuit to be so strange, if he knew what Lin Yuan was thinking at the moment, he would probably vomit a mouthful of old blood!
"We have received news that the Demon Law Left Envoy Impermanence has arrived near the Hidden Forest Valley today, and among the people accompanying him, we have sensed the breath of the Shadow Gate!"
Shadow Door!
Lin Yuan and City Lord Liu trembled, this is a taboo name in Daming, every time they make a move, it is enough to disturb Daming!
"However, how could the Shadow Gate target me? The Lin family has no grievances with them, and I myself have never had contact with them, this is completely different!" Lin Yuan put his hands forward, expressing doubt!
Lin Yuantu was also a little puzzled, so he could only answer uncertainly: "In recent years, the Shadow Gate has disappeared in the Great Ming Kingdom, and several times this move has been covered up by Dao level monks. We only get some general information! and that's that they're collecting spirits!"
This is another piece of explosive news, not to mention that the cultivation of spirit bodies has a unique advantage. That is to say, just the spirit bodies on the bright side of the Ming Kingdom are only about ten people!
Almost all of them are the top treasures of each family, and the Lin family is special, and there are two demon girls who are pressed on Lin Yuan's head!
And the Shadow Gate is acting like this, almost offending all the forces of the Ming Dynasty at the same time! Because it itself has an irreconcilable grudge against the royal Jin family, acting like this is tantamount to self-destruction!
