Chapter Twenty-Three: Laughter Returns Home and Burns Anger

Walking towards the pier, the familiar stone walls come into view. Around the pier was a small city about four miles square of large blocks of stone, on which soldiers patrolled every other section.

The gates of the city were open, and all armed hunting parties entered and exited from time to time. Seeing Lin Zhao carrying a huge basket, everyone cast curious eyes, but after a little look, they didn't pay attention.

The people here are either medicine merchants who are ready to enter the mountain, or hunting teams that have already turned to the docks, all dressed in everything, each with their own busy affairs, no great interests to attract, and no one will pay attention to others.

There are all kinds of shops in the small town, buying all kinds of beast skins, herbs, ores, and so on hunted from the Azure Mountains. There is also a small bazaar where you can set up your own stalls and pay a small fee to the stewards assigned by the government.

Lin Zhao looked at the individual customers in the bazaar, and remembered the vegetable market near his house in his previous life, which looked somewhat similar. Put the huge basket on his back in the shop on the first floor, and the steward on the second floor heard the man report that his young master had returned, and hurriedly came down from the second floor to greet him.

"Little master, you are back, the second master only sent someone to inquire yesterday, and the head of the family also sent people to ask about your news from time to time, you have made the family worry this time!" A middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and a round face and short beard said eagerly to Lin Zhao, it was the steward of the Lin clan who was in charge of this dock shop, and it was also the distant branch of the Lin clan, named Lin Renye.

"Let everyone worry, didn't I come back unscathed, don't worry, don't worry!" Lin Zhao smiled warmly and said to Lin Renye.

"It's good that the little young master will return safely, do you want to rest here, or are you going to cross the river and go home now?" Lin Renye smiled with a round face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Uncle Lao Fu will arrange the boat now, and I am ready to cross the river and return home now!" Lin Zhao replied.

A moment later, Lin Zhao stood on the bow of the boat, standing long, the wind and waves on the river surface were blowing, and bursts of water vapor were diffused from the air. The journey was uneventful, which made Lin Zhao a little disappointed, he had never seen the appearance of the spirit in the water, and he was quite curious.

landed on the shore and rode horses, two guards followed, one of them carried Lin Zhao's basket behind him, and a group of three fast horses arrived at Lin Mansion.

Ignoring the dust on his body, he went to meet his parents first. When her mother saw Lin Zhao returning, she ignored the mud and dust on Lin Zhao's body all the way, came up and hugged her, and tears flowed down.

"You kid, you've been gone for almost half a year, and you know how worried your father and I are. Your brothers are now all hardened in their wings, and they all run out to go crazy, and they don't know how to return home?"

Lin Zhao touched his earlobe, a little embarrassed, and really didn't know what to say. Mother is like this, or the last time she was seriously injured by lightning, she left a shadow in her heart. Lin Zhao is the youngest in the family, handsome and cute since childhood, Lin's mother has always taken the most care, and now she loves Lin Zhao more and more, for fear of being hurt again.

Puffed out his arms, revealing smooth and elastic muscles, Lin Zhao pretended to be rough and said to Lin's mother: "The child knows his mistakes, don't worry about the mother, you see that I am now as strong as a cow, my arms can run dragons and horses, and my chest can hold ten thousand stones, and the demon beasts of Tianqingshan have to flee when they see me, where can there be anything!"

With a snort, Mother Lin's original crying appearance was suddenly amused by Lin Zhao and couldn't help laughing.

"You stinky boy, you used to be so knowledgeable, how can you be so poor now? Mother Lin also quipped.

Comforting his worried mother, Lin Zhao bowed to his father, who had been smiling beside him.

"The child is not filial, which makes the parents worry!"

"Well, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Lin Renzhong stroked his long beard neatly, and kept looking at Lin Zhao with a smile on his face.

"Will there be any benefits to going to the Azure Mountain Range this time?" Lin Ren Zhongfu asked again.

"This time I entered the Heavenly Green Mountain, Yu Martial Dao did have some benefits!" Lin Zhao also sat on the Taishi chair, sitting upright, chatting with his parents about some of the things he had seen in the Azure Mountain Range.

"By the way, this time in the Tianqing Mountain, I got some gadgets!", said and moved the big basket in from outside the door.

A tiger skin that was intact and did not have the slightest scratch, if it was completely opened, Lin Zhao's parents' front hall would not be able to be paved. Lin Renzhong and his mother Chen Shi looked carefully, but saw that the color of the fur was shining, and after touching it, the long tiger hair was unusually supple, and there was a warm feeling in the palm of the hand.

"This tiger skin is big enough, and I will go back and let the craftsmen in Fuchu make warm boots to ensure that my father and mother will not freeze their feet, and make two pairs for my grandfather and grandmother. Lin opened his mouth on the side to plan.

"You child, what kind of childish words, such a complete and wide tiger skin, made into boots, but it is a waste. Mother laughed and scolded.

"I'm afraid this tiger skin is not ordinary, it should be the fur of the tiger demon! But there is not the slightest scar on this skin, it seems that a tiger demon is lying down and letting you skin it?" Lin Renjie put his head close to the tiger skin, looked at it carefully, and said in an affirmative tone.

Mother Chen was also stunned when she listened, and looked at Lin Zhao with her eyes, waiting for an explanation.

"Haha, mother should believe it this time, the child is now a martial artist, and the demon beasts in Tianqing Mountain are all lying down waiting for me to kill!" Lin Zhao snorted, ready to go over. How can we explain this reason? Say that the child is now a miracle, killing the tiger demon with one punch, one kick and one palm, and eating the whole tiger meat?

Lin Renzhong and his mother Chen didn't ask, but they roughly had a bottom in their hearts about Lin Zhao's martial arts cultivation.

"There's still some good stuff here, father and mother, try it!" Lin Zhao took out another gourd of monkey wine, disposed of the mud seal, found two cups, and poured two glasses of monkey wine.

Lin Renzhong looked at the light green liquid in the cup, crystal green, and there was a burst of wine aroma, and he didn't say a word, picked it up and took a sip gently, then his eyes lit up, and he praised it in his mouth: "Good wine!", and then drank it all.

Mother Chen also took a sip and was amazed. So he asked the reason for the wine, and Lin Zhao explained it one by one.

After half a ring, Lin Renzhong spoke: "You take the tiger skin and send it to your grandfather, his old man has been worried about you, and bring a few gourd monkey wine." ”

Lin Liang Bai Lin Renzhong didn't say much, and then saluted and left.

When they arrived at the courtyard of my grandfather and grandmother, two old men were sitting by the fish pond in the courtyard, and two personal maids were waiting behind the easy chairs. The grandmother gently raised the fish food in her hand and threw it into the pool, where the water was clear, the aquatic plants were green, and they grew between the pebbles, and dozens of koi fish were scrambling to grab food, a comfortable scene.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the door, the two old men turned their heads in unison and set their eyes on the door. I saw Lin Zhaozheng standing tall and smiling.

The two old men stood together and spoke at the same time: "Zhao'er!"

Lin Zhao hurriedly took a step, arrived in front of the two old men, bowed and saluted: "The grandson is back, let the grandfather and grandmother worry, it is the grandson's fault!"

Mrs. Lin helped Lin Zhao up, her eyes were shining, and she looked carefully. Where the eye catches is a slender figure, with a face like a crown of jade, crystal skin, and an elegant appearance.

Grandmother smiled and took Lin Zhao's hand, compared her height, and smiled at Lin Zhao: "Zhao'er's figure in the past two years has really grown fast, but grandmother is old!"

Lin Zhao looked at her grandmother, and said with a smile: "Where is grandmother old, Zhao'er didn't see it, in Zhao'er's eyes, grandmother is beautiful every year, she is twenty-eight, and her youth is eternal!"

Mrs. Lin didn't speak, she was still looking at Lin Zhao, and the shock in her heart was incomprehensible, and she sighed that my Lin's Tianjiao had grown.

Accompanied by the two old men sitting by the fish pond, talking about their experiences in the mountains, they are all mysterious scenery, strange and magnificent natural miracles. Most of the time, Lin Zhao was talking with his grandmother, but his grandfather was smiling, lying on the easy chair with his head up, gently patting the armrest with his left hand, looking like an old man who was recuperating in his old age and enjoying the joy of his children and grandchildren.

After that, he took out the gifts, and the tiger skin and monkey wine made the two old men happy. In fact, as a top family, Lin Mansion's grandfather and grandmother have never seen anything. It's just that this time it's different, it's the most beloved grandson, who is alone from the Azure Mountain Range, where monsters are rampant, and honors the two. The significance is extraordinary, and it is more of a gratification for my family's early growth.

After returning from his grandparents' courtyard and going to the courtyard of his fifth uncle Lin Renjie, as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he smelled a smell of medicine, Lin Zhao secretly wondered, what was the situation?

Lin Renjie is determined to practice martial arts and has never been married, although his parents began to nag him every day. But Lin Renjie is a person with a very right mind, and the things he decides will not change. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Lin Renjie can become one of the three oldest innate masters in the family.

entered the courtyard and called his subordinates to inquire, and learned that Lin Renjie was recuperating in bed. Lin Zhao felt a pang in his heart, what kind of situation could make the fifth uncle of the innate realm stay in bed to recuperate?

When I entered the inner room, I saw Lin Renjie lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. Lin Zhao was lightly moved, just standing in front of Lin Renjie's bed, but saw the other party open his eyes and look at Lin Zhao's gaze showing joy.

"Fifth uncle, how are you, is there any big problem?" Lin Zhao helped Lin Renjie sit up and greeted softly.

"It's okay, I got a little hurt from the fight outside. Although his voice is a little hoarse, Lin Renjie's heroism is still undiminished.

Lin Zhao held Lin Renjie's wrist, carefully checked his pulse, and probed out a trace of pure innate true qi to swim around Lin Renjie's body, and his face suddenly sank.

"Fifth uncle, you insist on sitting upright, and I will help you heal. Without waiting for Lin Renjie to speak, Lin Zhao directly crossed a ray of true qi and wandered in Lin Renjie's lungs, and the pure innate true qi was like silk, dispelling Shen Ke.

After half a sound, Lin Renjie spit out a mouthful of black blood, which smelled unpleasant.

Immediately, Lin Zhao bent his fingers like flying again, and quickly pointed out on the big hole on Lin Renjie's back. After pressing it with one hand, it was placed at the "big vertebral acupoint" behind Lin Renjie, and the innate true qi traveled nine times in the second vein of Lin Renjie's governor, penetrating the stagnant meridians, and suddenly Lin Renjie's face became ruddy.

Lin Renjie didn't know what kind of internal injuries he had suffered before, but he actually injured his lungs and veins, and his internal organs were also shrouded in a trace of cold qi, and Ren Du's second pulse was even more blocked, which made him unable to heal.

Lin Zhao studied medicine with Doctor Li, and knew how to treat it, and at the same time, the pure innate true qi was the best at treating such internal injuries, which made the masters and doctors in the palace helpless, and most of them were gone.

"Zhao'er, your true qi is really pure, have you started to cultivate internal strength?" Lin Renjie's complexion improved, he looked at Lin Zhao with a smile, and asked.

"Fifth uncle, I have succeeded in holding Dan and completed my external strength, and at this time I have indeed begun to practice my internal strength True Qi. Lin Zhao poured a cup of hot tea on the table and handed it to Lin Renjie. He also poured a cup and held it in his hand before he spoke.

"Okay, Zhao'er, your current martial arts cultivation should have surpassed me. It's been more than two years, and it's incredible to have this achievement!" Lin Renjie sighed as he took a sip of tea.

"It's all the credit of the fifth uncle, if it weren't for the fifth uncle's best teaching, how could you have achieved today. Lin Zhao looked at Lin Renjie's heroic face in the past, and he was actually a little weak at the moment.

"Fifth uncle, whoever injured you like this, I will make him unable to survive, unable to die!" Lin Zhao looked at Lin Renjie, his eyes were deep, and his tone was as cold as ice.

Exactly: bow your head to filial piety to your children and grandchildren, and the green shirt is a jade son!
