Chapter 11: Descending the Mountain
That afternoon, Lin Aotian did not teach him something as usual, but called him to his room, after Lin Yan came in, he found that his father was sitting there waiting for him, and before Lin Aotian could speak, Lin Yan's eyes had already been attracted by a quaint scroll on the table, and there was an ancient era "Yi" on the cover The words were vivid, Lin Yan felt that there was a strange power attracting him, and the spiritual power in his mind involuntarily surged towards the scroll, and just when he was about to fall in, Lin Aotian's cough pulled his spirit back.
"Father, this ...... What kind of scroll is this, it's weird. β
Lin Aotian watched his eyes regain clarity before he spoke: "You must keep this scroll properly." This is what your grandfather got back then, and his martial arts and my ability to calculate all came from this, and I think it's time to pass it on to you. β
Lin Yan was already twelve years old, and he also understood some things, knowing that the scroll was the heirloom of his family, he hesitated a little and said, "This ...... Father, I think I'm still young, wouldn't it be too early to give me this kind of treasure so early? β
Lin Aotian heard this: "You are not young now, although you have not gone down the mountain to go out, but over the years, your Aunt Ying and I have also told you many places that you should pay attention to when walking the rivers and lakes, you are also very smart, and now you are fully capable of being independent." β
Lin Yan listened, stunned and asked, "Will grandpa still teach me boxing after that?" Lin Yan felt that practicing boxing was too boring, he began to practice Tai Chi with Lin Fenghua since he was a child, and now he is very reluctant to practice boxing every day, but Lin Fenghua is too strict, he never dared to bring it up, today I heard my father say that he can be independent, and he can't wait to know if he can not practice boxing in the future.
After hearing this, Lin Aotian smiled helplessly, touched Lin Yan's head, and said, "Child, I can't teach you for long, but I'll give you a reminder first, grandpa and I will be more strict during this time, you have to redouble your efforts, and after this time, I will take you down the mountain to play." β
"Really! Great, I've never seen the outside world. Lin Yan was about to jump up happily after hearing this.
"Of course, but you have to work hard these days, go back. β
"Hmm!" Lin Yan took the scroll and turned around and left.
The corners of Lin Aotian's smiling mouth gradually fell, and a helpless expression gradually appeared on his face, and he shook his head and sighed to himself, "This child's life is really bitter." β
In the next few days, as Lin Aotian said, Lin Yan was facing daily ultra-high-intensity training. Every day after practicing boxing, he was covered in injuries, and at this time, Lin Fenghua would prepare a wooden barrel with many boiled medicinal materials in it, and let Lin Yan soak in it.
In the afternoon, my father would assess the formation he had learned and the use of Qimen Dunjia, and some of the houseslave workers in the family also packed their own luggage and no longer worked in the Lin family. There were also many unfamiliar faces, and the rest of these people were not as lazy as before, and they were also training the formation all day long.
Such days lasted for nearly two months, and on this day, Lin Yan was practicing boxing with his grandfather in the courtyard, when he suddenly heard a voice from the gate, "Lin Fenghua's seniors, junior Tang Yunyu, are here to deliver a letter." β
Lin Yan knew that this person's internal strength must be extraordinary, the gate was far away from the courtyard where he practiced boxing, and the sound was still like thunder, but there were several people in the martial arts who came to find his grandfather recently, Lin Yan was used to it, and he didn't react much, and Lin Fenghua heard this name, his expression was dazed, and he said to Lin Yan: "You continue to practice here, I'll take a look." Lin Yan agreed, but he didn't care.
Lin Fenghua came outside, only to see a person standing outside, looking at the age of about forty or fifty years old, someone came to see Lin Fenghua come out, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Lin Fenghua with both hands, and said: "Senior, this is my handwritten letter from the master of the Tang Sect, and I am here to present it today." β
Lin Fenghua took the letter, although he knew that the Tang Sect was one of the best in terms of poisoning, Lin Fenghua also understood that Tang Ao was also the kind of person who was above board, as can be seen from the fact that the Tang Sect had never moved the Lin family behind his back for more than 30 years.
Lin Fenghua calmly accepted the letter without using internal force to prevent it, and it was also in Tang Yunyu's eyes. Although as an enemy, he also secretly admired Lin Fenghua, ordinary people heard that something was contaminated with the word Tangmen, they would carefully check it a few times, Lin Fenghua's calm bearing, Tang Yunyu sighed secretly in his heart, he really has the demeanor of a martial arts master.
Tang Yunyu had already handed over the letter to Lin Fenghua, and his task had been completed, and said, "The juniors will say goodbye, and there will be a period later." β
"There will be a period later. β
Lin Fenghua took the letter, walked to Lin Aotian's house, pushed open the door, Lin Aotian looked up and saw the letter in his father's hand, and asked, "Come?"
"It's coming. β
Lin Fenghua walked to the table, opened the letter, and wrote: "To the inspirer: Brother Fenghua, you and I have been separated for more than 30 years, and we haven't seen each other for several years. The Erlin family is still naΓ―ve, don't fight with powerlessness. Avoid the name of cutting-edge, the shame of the grasshopper. Ten days later, I should set up a meeting, lead 100 disciples of the Tang Sect, come to the house in person, want to fulfill the covenant of the year, life and death, wealth in the sky, please give advice. β
Lin Fenghua finished reading it and sighed, "It's finally time to come." β
"Father, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, what do you think of those people in the rivers and lakes who you have been kind to them?"
"Find a reason in a few days to let those people go down the mountain, this is the grudge between my Lin family and the Tang Sect, and it has nothing to do with them. β
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Lin Aotian turned around and went out.
After a few more days, Lin Aotian finished testing Lin Yan's formation and said to Lin Yan: "Yan'er, do you want to go down the mountain to play?"
Lin Yan's face was overjoyed, and he said: "Think, think, I have long wanted to see the outside world, I always listen to you tell me, this time I finally have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes." β
Lin Aotian smiled and said: "There are a few silver tickets here, as well as a few ingots of silver and some scattered silver, you can put them away, these are very useful in the outside world." β
Although Lin Yan had never gone out, he also knew the role of silver, and happily took the small package given to him by his father.
Lin Aotian continued: "Tomorrow let your aunt take you down the mountain to play, by the way, you bring that scroll, you can't put down the practice of Zhou Yi when you go down the mountain, the knowledge of internal force and divination is accumulated over time, you must keep the scroll properly, don't see it with outsiders, be careful of your guilt." β
Lin Yan nodded in agreement, Lin Aotian said a few more words, and said, "Let's stop here today, you go back to your Aunt Ying, talk to her, and say that grandpa asked her to accompany you down the mountain to play for a while." β
"Hey, okay, I'll go back first. Lin Yan turned around and left very happily. Just as Lin Yan was about to step out of the door, Lin Aotian's somewhat choked voice came out: "Yan'er, I ......"
Lin Yan turned his head and looked at his father with innocent eyes, "Well, what's wrong?"
Lin Aotian held back the tears in his heart and smiled, "It's okay, bring more clothes." β
"Well, okay, I'm leaving. β
......
Lin Yan returned to his room, Huang Boying was reading a book in the house, and when he saw Lin Yan coming back, he had a smile on his face and said with a smile: "What is so happy." β
Lin Yan said mysteriously: "Aunt Ying, guess what, my father rewarded me." β
"What kind of reward can make Xiao Yan'er happy like this? Hmm...... Aunt Ying couldn't guess. β
"Father said, give me a holiday and let me go down the mountain to play for a while! Aunt Ying, hurry up and pack your luggage, I also want to bring a few of my clothes, grandpa said let you accompany me!" Xiao Lin Yan said very happily.
When Huang Boying heard this, her face changed, she knew that this must be the battle book of the Tang Sect, and immediately understood what Lin Fenghua meant, she touched Lin Yan's head and said, "Really, Yan'er, you can finally see the outside world, but this time Aunt Ying can't go with you, I still have important things in the Lin family and can't leave, so let's go, this time you go alone, wait for next time, Aunt Ying will accompany you to have a good tour of the outside world!"
"Well...... Okay, I'll go by myself this time, but next time Aunt Ying, you must accompany me, let's pull the hook!"
"Okay, retractor. Huang Boying stretched out his little finger and hooked Lin Yan, and said secretly, if I were still alive.
That night, almost none of them slept, Lin Fenghua, Lin Aotian, Huang Boying and others were worried about Lin Yan, knowing that they might never see him again, and Lin Yan was excited to finally see the outside world.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the sun was shining, Lin Yan was wearing the new clothes made for him by Huang Boying, carrying a package containing silver, and the ancient scroll was also hidden close to him, standing outside the door of the Lin family, looking at his grandfather, father and others, waving his hand again and again, "I'm leaving!"
Lin Aotian looked at him with a straight face, and said: "Yan'er, this time going down the mountain is also regarded as an experience for you, you have to remember that our Lin family has good friends outside, and has made countless enemies, since it is your experience, you can't mention that you are a member of the Lin family when you go out, you have to break out of the world by yourself." β
Lin Yan stuck out his tongue, grimaced, and said, "Okay, I know." After speaking, he turned around and ran down the mountain, like a bird returning to the mountains and forests, rushing into the ocean, Lin Yan didn't know that this parting would be separated from heaven and man, and it would be difficult for yin and yang to gather.
Everyone looked at Lin Yan's back, and their hearts were like knives. Lin Aotian opened his mouth and said: "Father, I still don't understand, as the days of teaching Yan'er are getting fewer and fewer, why don't you let me teach more complex exercises, but the fewer the days go, the more I go back to teach him the basics?"
"Aotian, you must know that it can last seven points for ten points, leaving three points for children and grandchildren. is very capable of exhausting everything, and the children and grandchildren of the younger generations are not as good as others. If you want Yan'er's future achievements to be above you and me, let him realize it himself. β
Lin Aotian opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
When Lin Yan's back had disappeared from everyone's sight, Lin Aotian and the others were reluctant to turn around and go home, but Lin Fenghua took the lead and said: "The future is over, after you go back, concentrate on dealing with the Tang Sect." β
Last night, Huang Boying came to him angrily, saying that he wanted to live and die with the Lin family, and if he had to go down the mountain with Lin Yan, he would kill himself in front of Lin Fenghua, and Lin Fenghua had to agree to her staying here.
Under the leadership of Lin Fenghua, everyone turned around and walked into the gate of the Lin family, and with a "boom", the two Nanmu doors closed tightly, shaking the two gilded characters "Lin Mansion" on it trembling slightly.
