Chapter 268
"Shu Min, what your father said is right, it's time to start preparing for the knot," Bai Tang heard Lin Huayun's words, first followed him, and then changed the words, "But don't be in a hurry, you know? Lin Shu's knot or not will not hinder you, she can't turn over any storms." ”
"I know, mother!" Lin Shumin became angry when she heard this, "She is not so powerful, she is not as good as the comatose Mo Ghost in terms of cultivation, Huo Zijun is not as talented as Huo Zijun who married her before her, and Shen Kongming who was born in Yunxiao Pavilion in terms of background, she can't compare with some people at all!"
But she's so much better than you!
Lin Hua said in his heart, his brows furrowed.
Lin Shumin is even more arrogant than he imagined, he is too pampered by Bai Tang, what does this character do to compete for the position of patriarch?
Although the Great Elder said that he had an unsuccessful grandson, Lin Fu, who had ruined their reputation a lot, there was also Lin Shuke, a grandson who had practiced in the Beast Control Sect before, had just succeeded in marrying Dan, and had returned to the Lin family and gradually began to contact family affairs.
Does he have to reconsider his father's advice?
Lin Huayong thought of Lin Shuyao again, don't look at Lin Shumin's debasement, but they are all elite disciples who should be cultivated well, and the high level of talent is really rare.
But as long as he thought of Lin Shuyao's indifferent face, Lin Huayao's mind shook again.
Although he could be sure that Lin Shuyao would never remember what happened when he was a child, he felt that Lin Shumin's talent was also good before, so when Lin Shumin and Bai Tang bullied Lin Shuyao, he didn't stop it, and then he neglected to supervise for a while, and there was an accident when he let Lin Shuyao go to participate in the assessment.
With so many things happening, it is impossible for Lin Shuyao to have nothing to do with the Lin family, and he has hardly come back over the years, if he really competes for the position of young patriarch, don't bite them in turn.
"So, Dad, don't you always talk about Lin Shuyao?" Lin Shumin looked unconvinced.
"Okay, you'll be chattering here as soon as you come back, don't bother your father, go back with me, and let me see if your cultivation has improved?" Bai Tang looked at Lin Huayong's face, knowing that he was angry in his heart, but he still didn't dare to say anything.
This husband of hers, what he said was elegant and easy-going, and what he said badly was a waste, and the only hard time was to leave Lin Shuyao and not let her kill her.
If she were still Shu Min's age, she would never have taken a fancy to this kind of person, but it's a pity...
Bai Tang covered the position of her shoulder, a hundred years ago she was seriously injured here, the meridians were blocked, her cultivation stopped in the late stage of Jindan, and she only improved a little over the years, seeing that Yuanying was hopeless, she had to choose someone to marry.
Among the candidates that year, she looked down on this Lin Huayong the most.
Even if he is from the Lin family, he is still the son of the three elders, but he is not a son-in-law, but the dewy marriage of the three elders outside.
But when it was rumored that the third elder sister-in-law had died in an accident, her mother had a strong decision on this person. At the time, she was full of reluctance, but now it seems that her mother has a good vision. Lin Huayong has a good talent, his ears are soft, and he can't do anything.
Even if his cultivation is higher than his own, but with the Bai family here, he doesn't dare to do it, and he can make her stay in the Lin family comfortably for so many years.
What's even more interesting is that the patriarch's son has died a long time ago, and now the only grandson is also dead, real retribution, he did his best to be the patriarch back then, how many brothers he killed, and the ridiculous thing is that now he has to return it intact.
But that's fine, it's cheaper for her daughter, and she must earn it for her!
"Mother, can you not always mention cultivation? I have been building the foundation for so many years, but I don't have the opportunity to marry Dan!" Lin Shumin hugged Bai Tang's arm, she also wanted to marry Dan, but she didn't feel that way.
"I always mention that it is because you really need to practice diligently, and if you can't take advantage of the trend at the age of sixty, I will prepare a golden pill for you. Bai Tang patted her hand.
"Mother, you don't let me go out to travel, how can I get married?" Regarding this matter, her mother is strictly guarded, resolutely not letting her go out alone, and there are a bunch of people following her to do everything, how to achieve the purpose of training?
"This matter is not negotiable. Bai Tang knew what she wanted to say, but she would never allow Shu Min to go out alone, "Mother is a lesson now, I will never allow you to end up like me!" Not to mention that there is still a chance to compete for the young patriarch, she can't let Shu Min be in danger.
"It's because she's too comfortable that she hasn't broken through. Lin Huayong took the opportunity to mention it as well.
"Okay, you two are united to say that mine is not," Bai Tang was about to wipe his tears, "Who am I for, not for Shu Min's sake, how did the patriarch's son die, how did his grandson die, how did my injuries come about?"
Lin Hua snorted twice, what he was most afraid of was Bai Tang's crying, there were always many truths, not to mention that if his brother hadn't died unexpectedly back then, it would not be his turn to be today, Bai Tang was not wrong to think so.
"Okay, mother, I'll be careful, don't make any noise. Lin Shumin patted Bai Tang soothingly, "Let's go back!"
"It's best if you can understand. Bai Tang also stood up, "Let's go back first." ”
Lin Hua snorted and continued to do what he was doing, his father gave him a lot of secret guards a few days ago, and he needed to make a good deployment, and he still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to pay attention to their mother and daughter.
Coming out of his study, Lin Shumin and Bai Tang went back to the backyard.
"Mother, I'll tell you..."
"Wait, go back to your room. Bai Tang, as Lin Shumin's mother, knows her best, but at a glance, he knew that she still had something to hide, so he quickly stopped her first, and then talked about it when he went back.
"Oh. Lin Shumin looked at the little guy outside the study, didn't leave any eyes, and they didn't dare to say anything, but my mother has always been like this, she is careful in everything she does, and she has to leave no handle.
As soon as she returned to Lin Shumin's room, she couldn't wait to speak, "Mother, let me tell you, I met that Lin Qi ······ today." She added fuel and vinegar to say it again, and added at the end, "Don't you know, when I see her, it's like seeing Lin Shuyao, that stinky face is just the same, isn't it like this for all monks who are free?"
If Mo Ghost could hear this, he might praise Lin Shumin, because she was learning from Lin Shumiao.
"That's why you let people stare at her?" Bai Tang thought thoughtfully.
"Yes, what is a carefree monk doing here for no reason? Lin Shumin said as a matter of course, "Maybe it's Lin Shuyao's friend who came here to inquire about the news." ”
Bai Tang thought deeper, "Surname Lin?"
"Mother, what did you think of?" Lin Shumin looked at her solemn face and asked in a low voice.
"You said that when you saw her, you felt familiar, especially like Lin Shuyao?" Bai Tang's eyes flashed slightly, and he confirmed with her again.
"yes, otherwise I'd be so angry. Lin Shumin pouted.
"Is it possible, this person is Lin Shuyao?" Bai Tang's eyes flashed with thoughts, "Otherwise, how could there be a monk surnamed Lin who is carefree at this time? Sometimes you can't just look at a monk by looking at his appearance, there can be many ways to disguise this, maybe your spiritual sense is keen, and you can directly perceive it?"
"Ah? no," Lin Shumin looked incredulous, "But the news just came back, she is Mu Linggen, Lin Shuyao is Bing Linggen, this can't be wrong, right?"
"That's because you don't know, there is still a hidden spirit root in this world, and it will not be discovered at the beginning of the spirit root, if there is any opportunity to find it, it can also be cultivated," Bai Tang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Objectively speaking, Lin Shuyao's talent is really good, and if her Ice Realm can help her perceive something, it is not impossible to discover the Hidden Spirit Root.
"Hidden Spirit Root?" the jealousy on Lin Shumin's face was about to overflow.
"You shouldn't know her mother, right?" Bai Tang sneered at the corner of his mouth, "It's a single wood spirit root medical cultivation, and it's the same cultivation method as this one called Lin Qi." ”
At that time, Lin Huayun went to try his luck near the 100,000 mountains for the legend of the Miao people, where he met Miao Acacia, and found that something was wrong from her piccolo, so he gently coaxed her to marry, wanting to set out the Miao people's Gu control technique.
It's a pity that it took more than ten years, the children were all there, and she couldn't find anything, and in the end, she was impatient, so she directly found someone to shoot, and tracked down the trace of Miao Village.
However, Miao Xiangsi finally fought for his life, killed all the monks sent over, and was seriously injured himself, and took Lin Shuyao into the 100,000 mountains, and finally died. Lin Shuyao, a ten-year-old child, was left to face a third-order demon beast.
At that time, Lin Huayun was next to him, but he didn't make a move, Bai Tang could guess his thoughts, after all, he was flesh and blood, and he couldn't do it himself, so he used the demon beast to get rid of her, and the province hated him in the future and raised a white-eyed wolf.
But no one thought that Lin Shuyao would cultivate his sword qi at that time and directly kill the demon beast.
After witnessing her talent, Lin Huayong hesitated again, temporarily brought her back, handed the news to the ancestor, and finally sent back a bottle of 100-day chop, the meaning of which was self-evident.
At that time, they had already found the people in Miao Village, and they wanted to catch a few and get the Gu control technique, but they were all heroic, and they would rather die than hand over something, and it was useless to kill chickens and monkeys.
If you want her to say that the monk who has already killed Miao Village has an inextricable enmity with Lin Shuyao, she should cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
But Lin Huayong and the three elders cherished their own bloodline in the end, and left Lin Shuyao strongly.
Bai Tang was jealous of Lin Shuyao, but since the ancestor spoke, it didn't hurt to stay, the monks in Miao Village were dying, and she couldn't turn the sky alone.
"Impossible!" Lin Shumin pouted, "Why did all the good things happen to her?"
"Shu Min, how many times has my mother taught you, be calm when you encounter things, don't be frizzy," Bai Tang gave her a look, and she didn't know who this character followed, "Even if she is talented, what if she is talented?"
"If she still has a hidden spirit root, Dad will definitely value her more!" Lin Shumin bit her lip, not to mention that she hadn't married yet.
"I don't think so," Bai Tang sneered, the ruthlessness in his eyes flashed, "Think about it, if this Lin Qi is really Lin Shuyao, then where does her Wood Spirit Root's cultivation method come from?"
"You mean... She knows that her mother is from Miao Village?" Lin Shumin suddenly said, "But I only found out today, how did she know?"
"The monks of Miao Village did not die back then, and there was no news after so many years, who knows if there was a resurgence somewhere, and found Lin Shujiao to tell her about her life experience, and dealt with the Lin family in turn. Bai Tang thought sinisterly, making them soft back then.
But Bai Tang still didn't panic too much, it's not the best, even if she is Lin Shuyao, it's okay, the group of people in Miao Village can't become the climate.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and tell Dad!" Lin Shumin was about to get up, it was best to make her father jealous of her and give up on her completely, and she would be the only one left in the entire Third Elder's lineage.
"What's the hurry, isn't it undecided?" Bai Tang grabbed her, "Let the people over there keep an eye first, and I'll go check the news of this Lin Qi." ”
Lin Shumin was still a little unwilling, but he still sat down obediently.
"Don't worry, even if this is not Lin Shuyao, there will be a day when you settle accounts," Bai Tang straightened her hanging hair, "Mother's good daughter, you don't have to do anything, the only thing to do is to improve your cultivation, and then wait to compete for the position of this young patriarch, and the rest, my mother will be ready for you, you know?"
"I know," Lin Shumin felt pressured every time she heard her say this, and she always felt a breath in her chest when she was cultivating.
"Well, let's go and cultivate. Bai Tang smiled and stood up.
"Then you have to tell me any news!" Lin Shumin also told her before leaving, she wanted to know who Lin Qi was.
"Rest assured. Bai Tang patted her gently and walked out of the room.
As soon as he arrived outside the door, the smile on his face faded.
"Madame, are you back?" the maid who was guarding the door greeted her and opened the door for her.
"Call the Dark Guard in. Bai Tang went directly to his study and took out a jade slip, "The third elder said that he wanted Lin Shuyao to compete for the position of young patriarch?"
A figure slowly appeared in front of her, with a black robe, with a solemn face, "Yes, Lin Shuyao mentioned it when he advanced to Jindan, and he mentioned it again when the eldest lady failed to advance some time ago, and was vaguely passed by Hua Zhen Jun." ”
"Hmph, after borrowing the momentum of my Bai family for so many years, and now you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Bai Tang sneered, "You go and check Lin Qi's identity, if she has no background, you will personally go to Luyuan Town and link her with Miao Village, it is best to have evidence, and if there is no evidence to falsify, you have to make it for me, do you understand?"
She didn't care who this Lin Qi was, whether it was Lin Shuyao or not, but she would definitely use this person to make the Third Elder and Lin Huayun wake up, and she never dared to mention this idea again.
