Chapter Fifty-Four: Family Affection Is Like Fire and Demons
At this time, in the mourning hall, guests from Dangbo City came to mourn. The influence of the Shuiyuan Lin clan has become more and more huge over the years, and it has been favored by Jun, whether it is the official Shilin, or the private businessmen, they have all made friends with the government.
Stepping into the mourning hall again, Lin Zhao greeted everyone in the family, and his eldest brother and second brother were also at home at this time.
Lin Zhao left home for ten years and returned again, but it was in vain, obviously following the immortals back then, and he had already entered the immortal gate. At this time, many relatives had endless words, and most of the time, Lin Zhao listened with a smile and didn't say much.
Everyone gossiped, but they lowered their voices and asked Lin Zhao about the Xianmen curiously, but Lin Zhao coped with it in a few words and didn't say much.
Immortals are different, and no matter how much they say, it doesn't mean much. Looking at everyone's looks, it doesn't seem to be too sad.
It is not too easy for ordinary people in this world to die well.
There are too many dangers and disasters, too many situations between life and death. What's more, according to local customs, the funeral of a person like Lin Zhao's grandmother who lived a long life and died well was called "happy funeral".
Perhaps only Mrs. Lin, her parents, etc., will have the deep sadness of losing their loved ones.
Lin Zhao knelt in the back row of the filial piety guards and spoke softly to his mother.
Mother Chen's temples have been gray and frosty in just ten years, and since Lin Zhao entered the mourning hall, she has been holding Lin Zhao's arm tightly and never letting go.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and worry about their children's thousands of miles away.
Looking at his mother's aging face, Lin Zhao's heart was also gloomy.
Although he took up other people's bodies, his parents and others in this world were too good to him, and Lin Zhao was not only moved in his heart, but also regarded them as his own relatives.
Lin Zhao's grandmother's funeral lasted for a total of seven days, and there was an endless stream of mourners every day.
Lin Zhao didn't care about these mundane things, but while keeping filial piety, he talked with his parents, two elder brothers, fifth uncle and other closest people. Most of the time, I chatted with Mrs. Lin.
Still taking Qingyuan Dan and Zhuang Ti Dan every day, Mrs. Lin continued to discharge impurities from her body, and gradually her body improved, as if she had returned to ten years ago.
Lin Zhao probed its vitality, as long as it was properly maintained, it was estimated that it would not be a problem to live for another ten years.
secretly gave his father and mother pills, and their bodies seemed to be renewed, as if they were more than ten years younger.
On this day, my grandmother was finally buried. After thanking the guests who helped again, the Lin Mansion was able to regain its calm.
Lin Zhao's uncle's family, as well as other uncles, prepared to return to the capital. The eldest brother Lin Zhiyang also went back together, at this time the eldest brother had also entered the court as an official, only the second brother Lin Zhipu was often at home, and he was also a famous Danqing saint at this time.
As early as a few days ago, Lin Zhao had given two pills as gifts to the uncle, the fifth uncle, and the two elder brothers, each with two bottles each.
He left ten bottles on his body, half of the Qingyuan Pill and the Zhuangti Pill, and the rest were all handed over to his grandfather for disposal.
In addition, all the low-level talismans exchanged in the Fu Hall that day were also given to my grandfather, and a hundred spirit stones were left, so that the talisman could be stimulated by absorbing the aura of the spirit stone, which could be regarded as the treasure of the Lin clan's clan.
Of course, among the Lin Zhao Storage Magic Rings, there are also better magic weapons, but they can't be used for the clan, but they may cause disaster.
When the uncles and others in the clan left one after another, the Lin Mansion completely returned to the previous order.
On this day, Lin Zhao came to the courtyard of the fifth uncle Lin Renjie, and after he returned, he had not talked to the fifth uncle properly, and now he is free.
Ten years have passed, and the fifth uncle is still heroic, and he is also very casual with Lin Zhao. After probing the fifth uncle's martial arts cultivation, he found that he was still in the middle of the innate stage, and he had not made much progress. Lin Zhao took out four more bottles of elixir and gave them to Lin Renjie, while using Zhenyuan to help him refine his body.
After three days, Lin Renjie's martial arts cultivation reached the peak of his innate nature, and his physical strength and strength doubled. This kind of cultivation, placed in the mortal world, is the ultimate master.
Lin Zhao smiled secretly, like this, it is estimated that the fifth uncle should be able to walk sideways among the mortals.
Then I thought that my own boxing method was also from the Lin Mansion, and now the "Jianghai Infinite Fist" is basically completed, and it can also be passed down in the Lin Mansion. He told his fifth uncle Lin Renjie what he thought.
Lin Renjie has long been enthusiastic about Lin Zhao's self-created boxing method, but Lin Zhao himself didn't propose it, where was Lin Renjie embarrassed to say it directly, and now he heard that Lin Zhao wanted to teach boxing, he was naturally overjoyed.
At that moment, Lin Zhao started from the boxing theory and boxing intent of "Jianghai Infinite Boxing", and explained it for three consecutive days before Lin Renjie roughly understood the boxing theory, as for the boxing intent, he can only let his memory in his mind, and whether he can comprehend it in the future depends on his creation.
"Jianghai Boundless Boxing" is based on the "Wave Forging Body Boxing" inherited by Lin Fu, and integrates hundreds of martial arts techniques, which can be described as all-encompassing and mysterious.
After Lin Zhao's continuous summary, collection and innovation, and later Lin Zhao worshiped the immortal road, and then perfected it, it can be said that it is already a first-class boxing method in this world, which is unique among the mundane.
Lin Zhao thought about it again and again, and revised the "Jianghai Infinite Fist" again, removing most of the content involved in cultivation, and then taught it to Lin Renjie. Otherwise, ordinary people don't have roots and bones, and forcibly cultivating will harm the body.
It's just that there is room for it, if there are outstanding geniuses in the Lin Mansion in the future, with the potential to practice, practicing this set of boxing methods will naturally be able to attract the aura of heaven and earth and enter the path of cultivation.
In the end, Lin Zhao recorded "Jianghai Infinite Fist" into a book, asked the second brother to come to help, and inserted a large number of catalogs.
Although Lin Zhao himself also works in calligraphy and painting, with the Danqing Holy Hand by his side, there is no reason not to use it.
On the day the book was completed, Lin Zhao presented it to Mrs. Lin with both hands, and the old man took it happily and said with a smile: "This is the solid stone of the Lin family's foundation, my water source!" Finally, the old man personally sent it to the Lin family's secret room for preservation.
The days that followed were as calm as water, Lin Zhao talked with his grandfather every day, took a walk, chatted with his parents and second brother, explained boxing to the fifth uncle, and instructed the cultivation of "Jianghai Infinite Boxing".
The rest of the time is all spent practicing fist refining qi and contemplating techniques, and there are countless techniques in my mind, and time is never enough.
Lin Zhao still lives in his courtyard, and the furniture in the courtyard is as good as new, and it is obvious that his mother often sends someone to clean and maintain it.
It's just that Lan'er and Mei'er, the two little girls of the day, have already married as wives, and they are still doing things in the house at this time. Lin Zhao was accustomed to the lonely practice in the mountains, and although he returned home at this time, he didn't want to be disturbed by someone while he was practicing, so he refused his mother's proposal to send a maid to serve him.
Although I am going to practice in the family for a period of time, I will accompany my family. But before that, there's something sneaky to clean up.
When Lin Zhao returned that day, he released his divine sense and scanned the city.
I haven't practiced before, and I don't know that there are demons and ghosts hiding in this wave city. It's just that I was keeping a vigil for my grandmother at that time, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and when I had time at this time, how could I allow such a sneaky thing to beat next to my pillow.
In the dead of night and night, Lin Zhao left the Lin Mansion silently. Walking towards an old mansion, the street was empty, and Lin Zhao had already performed the concealment technique and qi gathering technique. Walking down the street, no one can see it.
Crossing a high wall, Lin Zhao flew directly into the air towards the courtyard. It can be seen that this mansion was also inhabited by the big family back then, although the area is not as large as the Lin Mansion, but it is also very large, among which the pavilions and pavilions, rockery lotus ponds are readily available.
But now it is long uninhabited, overgrown with weeds and dilapidated.
To the southeast of the mansion, there is a large garden. Looking at it from a distance, you can see an ancient acacia tree with a lush appearance and a radius of dozens of zhang. In the middle of summer, it's a good place to cool off under the trees.
But under Lin Zhao's divine sense, where is this ordinary locust tree, it is clearly a tree demon that has become a spirit, and the whole body exudes an eerie atmosphere.
I don't know what the owner of the mansion planned to do back then, so he didn't cut it down, but kept it in the mansion. It is really a sin made by heaven, it is still possible, and it is a sin of oneself, and it cannot be lived. It is estimated that the entire family has been assassinated by him.
Lin Zhao stood more than ten zhang away from Guhuai in the air, and without saying a word, he directly pinched the trick and recited the mantra. After a few breaths, dark clouds rolled in the air, and an arm-thick thunderbolt slashed down, illuminating the dark night sky, brilliant and bright, right in the middle of the tree trunk.
I only heard a terrible scream, which was terrifying, and Lin Zhao seemed to hear a curse coming from the direction of Gu Huai in his ears. Immediately, he saw a roar on the ground, and dozens of roots like giant snakes pierced and entwined towards him.
"The demon dares to resist!" Lin Zhao snorted coldly, his figure flashing in the air, dodging the attack of the roots of the trees.
The magic trick in his hand did not stop, and suddenly three "C-fire God Thunder" fell from the sky one after another, and the fire suddenly rose on the trunk of the tree where the three of Gu Huai were hugging. The roots of the trees that sprang out of the ground fell to the ground like dead snakes.
Watch as the fire grows larger, and the trunks and branches of the trees catch fire.
Lin Zhao used another trick, only to see a fiery snake condensed out in front of him, shooting at the burning ancient locust trunk and tightly wrapping around it. Suddenly, the flames rose into the sky, and the night sky was illuminated red.
In the raging firelight, more than 100 translucent soul shadows suddenly appeared, which should be the souls killed and detained by the locust tree spirit.
Lin Zhao had read in a classic book called "Strange Spirits" in the Taoist Hall that the locust tree spirit had the ability to detain people's souls, often making it impossible for dead human souls to go to the underworld or dissipate between heaven and earth. At this time, I saw that there was indeed such a thing.
After a cup of tea, Lin Zhao used the "Cloud and Rain Dafa", and a mist of rain and mist shrouded the gradually extinguished locust tree, completely watering the spark to avoid a fire.
The divine sense glanced around, Lin Zhao seemed to have made a discovery, and a "object control technique" in his hand was used, and an invisible giant hand was formed, grabbing an object from the ashes in the air.
If you look closely, it turns out to be a "yin locust core" more than one meter long and arm thick. This thing Lin Zhao has seen and introduced in the classics of the Taoist Law Palace, it is a kind of spiritual material, the texture is hard, contains the power of the yin spirit, and it can refine the magic weapon of the yin attribute, and it is a rare treasure for the monks who practice the way of resisting ghosts.
Putting the "Yin Locust Tree Core" into the storage ring, and was about to turn around and leave, Lin Zhao suddenly stopped again.
He muttered to himself: "No, no, if this ancient acacia was born in a place with deep yin qi, it can be explained that it is a spirit monster, this is a big human city, where does such a heavy yin qi come from for it to absorb?"
After a while, as if he had thought of something, he saw that his body had moved, had fallen to the ground, and then disappeared without a trace. Lin Zhao used the "Earth Escape Technique" to explore the underground.
Following the roots of the ancient locust tree, sneaking underground for a distance of about 100 zhang, I saw a skeleton of white bones buried under the locust tree, obviously these human beings who were killed by the locust tree spirit, and the corpses were used as their own nourishment.
Just as he felt that the earth escape technique could not support it, and was about to return to the ground, he suddenly felt his whole body loosen, and then a cold aura struck.
At a glance, it has been to a stone cave, the grotto is not big, the radius is only a few zhang in size, there is a stone spring the size of a basin in the center of the grotto.
Countless tiny ancient locust roots flow along the cracks in the stone and plunge into the stone spring. Bursts of cold air emanated from the stone spring and permeated the grotto, which was the "Yin Spring" recorded in the book.
The legend of Yin Spring carries a trace of the Yin Spirit Qi of the Nine Secluded Yellow Springs, which can most promote Yin Things, such as all kinds of ghost things, if there is Yin Spring Nourishment, it can be quickly advanced.
In addition, it is occasionally used in alchemy and refining. It is with the nourishment of this yin spring that the ancient locust tree can grow into a spirit.
First, the roots of the locust tree in the yin spring were cleared by magic, and suddenly a clear spring came into view. The water was extremely clear, Lin Zhao tried to stretch out his finger and dip it between his fingers, wanting to feel it.
But as soon as his fingers touched the surface of the Yin Spring, he felt a tingling pain coming from his fingertips, and there were also lines of cold qi flowing down his fingertips and spreading to Lin Zhao's body.
But Lin Zhao's cultivation of the "Divine Thunder Inner Tiangang General Technique" is so domineering, especially for the yin cold emitted by this kind of yin spring, it is more like a congenital opponent. Without waiting for Lin Zhao to urge, the true yuan in the body had already spontaneously circulated, and it directly refined the cold qi that poured into the body into intangible.
Lin Zhao felt it carefully, and it seemed that the true yuan had increased almost imperceptibly when refining the cold qi.
Lin Zhao suddenly remembered that it seemed that Master Taixu Zhenren had inadvertently mentioned that the "Divine Thunder Inner Tiangang General Technique" would progress faster if it was practiced in some regions. It seems that cultivating with this Yin Spring should be in line with Master's mouth of "some regions".
There is also a faint joy in my heart, and the wealth of the earth has always been the four major conditions for cultivation.
I feel that the aura of heaven and earth at home is barren, thinking that the speed of cultivation may be slowing down, where do I think that drowsiness comes to meet the pillow, but I encounter such a good place, I am afraid that the cultivation speed is not much more than Longshoufeng.
In fact, this is also a kind of merit retribution for Lin Zhao to kill demons and punish evil and promote good. It's just that Lin Zhao's Taoism is still shallow and he can't understand it.
Swept around the grotto several times with his divine sense, and there were no other anomalies. Lin Zhao used the "Earth Escape Technique" again and returned to the ground.
Tonight's work isn't done yet, killing the locust tree spirit is just one of them, and we have to keep busy.
Exactly: the cornerstone of the transmission of the unlearned, and the evil hidden in the city of the world!
