After the beginning of spring, the elders rarely played chess with Shen Yun.

Because he loses more and wins less, he occasionally wins, think about it carefully, it seems that Shen Yun still let him.

The patriarch intuitively felt that although his chess skills were not a national player, he was also a master above the temple, and he didn't want to be a disciple in less than a year, which made him feel both embarrassed and gratified.

Even if the energy is not good, the patriarch is still meticulous in his daily teaching.

It's just that I haven't tested the mastery of those words again, because it doesn't mean anything at all, and Shen Yun never makes mistakes.

Occasionally, I would go to see Shen Yun in the morning, did he practice calligraphy as required? Fortunately, I could see Shen Yun practicing diligently every time, and then quietly left with a relieved face.

In fact, the patriarch is not very optimistic about Shen Yun's future calligraphy attainments.

Calligraphy and painting skills need to be practiced hard, the so-called practice makes perfect, smart people are usually afraid of hardship, so it is difficult to practice well. I was back then, and then I forced myself to work hard, so that I could write a roll call.

In the eyes of the elders, Shen Yun was obviously also a smart person, and if he didn't work hard enough, his achievements would be limited in the future.

So he left a sentence: "If you don't practice the words well, you are not allowed to say that you are my disciple!"

However, looking at the other party's nodding but actual perfunctory appearance, I knew that such a threat was useless. even felt that as long as he died, the kid would never work so hard to learn calligraphy, so he urged him more strictly.

Occasionally, he would point out the country with Shen Yun and talk about some geographical knowledge and the distribution of forces.

However, that kid is obviously only interested in famous mountains and rivers, but for how to ambush soldiers and where to camp, these are purely the wind in his ears, and the elders who provoke him are a ray of light.

Occasionally, at night, Shen Yun came out to watch the stars at night, and talked about astronomical knowledge.

I wonder if this kid listened?

For Xue Ling, the patriarch likes this little thing full of spirituality in his heart, and is very sure that Xue Ling can understand human words, at least some simple words.

Once, he casually said, "...... Xue Ling, you might as well help me call that bastard boy over. ”

As a result, the little thing tweeted, ran out for a while, and really brought Shen Yun over.

The patriarch was amazed in his heart, and his face remained silent.

After a few days, I tried to say to Xue Ling again, and asked the stinky boy to bring a pen.

Not long after, Shen Yun really brought a brush and came in a daze.

The patriarch was amazed.

"Could it be that the stinky boy can still understand Xue Ling's cry?"

Ask Shen Yun? Forget it, that kid will only pretend to be deaf and dumb and make himself angry.

On this day, the spring flowers are blooming, sitting in the yard basking in the sun, seeing the white shadow at the gate of the courtyard, suddenly playing again.

"Xue Ling, come here. ”

"Chirp. ”

"Go and call that boy to bring the book "The Book of the Kingdoms" ...... "The Book of the Nations." The patriarch sat up straight, his eyes sly and sly.

Suddenly, Shen Yun looked puzzled, grabbed the book and ran over.

The patriarch was expressionless, took the book, glanced at the cover, casually put it on the stone table, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the confused Shen Yun away.

But he understood in his heart that Xue Ling could only roughly understand the book, so like a puppy, he ran and casually took a book to Shen Yun, which led to a random book.

However, this is normal, otherwise you can understand it completely, and if you are still literate, you will become a master.

Again, the spring breeze was blowing, and the patriarch was in high spirits, walking to the "viewing column" with a cane to look at the beautiful scenery under the mountain.

Suddenly remembering Xue Ling, he casually shouted a few times.

As a result, I didn't hear the familiar cry of the little fox, so I guess she went to play and didn't care.

As a result, after a while, he saw Xue Ling at the bottom of the mountain, jumping up and down the steps, until he came to his side. chirped and screamed, as if asking himself what was the matter with her?

The patriarch was stunned for a moment, his shout was not loud, it was unlikely to reach the bottom of the mountain, could it be so far away that the little fox could hear it?

Thinking of several times, I called Xue Ling and waited for her to come over for a long time.

Could it be that the snow spirit was far away from him in those few times? otherwise, according to the speed of the snow spirit, if it is nearby, it will be there in an instant.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Shen Yun can always find out the snow spirit accurately, and occasionally ask where the snow spirit is, Shen Yun will casually say an exact location.

For example, I went to the bottom of the mountain to play, or I went to the kitchen to steal food, etc.

Once he came to his senses and his mouth was quick, the kid pretended to be crazy and stupid.

A spring breeze blew, and the white hair on the back of the patriarch's head fluttered, but he stared at the road below the mountain with a daze, and his cloudy eyes were full of wonder.

Is there a sense between them?

Of course, this is not the case, Shen Yun is just releasing his divine sense, especially now that he is more proficient in the control of his divine sense, unless it is when he is emotionally unstable, his ordinary divine consciousness is shrouded out, and he will not let mortals notice it at all.

The old man was very doting on Xue Ling, and even let her stay at the table when he ate, of course, Xue Ling was also very well-behaved and obedient, and if it wasn't for the food in front of her, he basically wouldn't touch it.

When you encounter something you want to eat, you will only raise your little paw and point.

Under her lovely eyes, the old man would always push the whole pot of food to her as quickly as possible.

Of course, this is only limited to the etiquette at the dinner table, usually for the old man and Shen Yun's dim sum, Xue Ling is always the best, and will go to share a little at any time.

The old man smiled and said to Xue Ling one day: "If there are really goblins in this world, you, a little guy, will definitely become a goblin in the future." ”

"Chirp. Xue Ling was obviously not satisfied with this statement, and chirped angrily.

Shen Yun watched the excitement from the sidelines, laughing but not saying a word.

The older the old man gets, the more playful he becomes, and his temper becomes more childlike, seeing that Xue Ling is not happy, he simply changes his title to "little goblin", and even keeps calling it.

Xue Ling was naturally helpless, so he could only tweet and protest a few times, and when he saw that it didn't work, he went with him.

Later, the old man saw that Xue Ling didn't care anymore, and probably didn't think it was fun, so he reverted to the title of "Xue Ling".

Shen Yun obviously felt that the old man's health was bad, and he often found him falling asleep directly on the recliner, and would always lightly cover him with something.

The old man slept poorly, and in the middle of the night he was always heard coughing.

This made Shen Yun feel very sad.

Sometimes, the old man sighed and muttered that he had no children or nephews.

Shen Yun knew what he was worried about, so he occasionally comforted him: "I said old man, one day you go underground to repair the text, don't worry, the kid is your eldest grandson! ”

The old man usually throws away whatever he catches, accompanied by a sentence: "The old man is not dead, get out!" At the end, he secretly wiped his tears.

......

The weather in May is getting hotter.

In the early morning of this day, the morning sun had just risen, sprinkling thousands of golden rays.

"Viewing Column", the patriarch stands quietly with a cane, staring into the distance.

"Chirp. ”

Hearing Xue Ling's clear voice, the patriarch smiled, turned around, beckoned to Shen Yun behind him, and said, "Come here, tell you about the forces near Liangdu." ”

As soon as Shen Yun was practicing calligraphy, he was summoned by Xue Ling, who smiled and nodded when he heard the words, and leaned forward.

"Viewing railing" is a huge rock that protrudes out, and then the carving is smooth, and the white marble guardrail is made, leaving this range of several zhang in a radius, which can be overlooked.

I saw the patriarch pointing at Liang Du from afar, and a sense of pride suddenly appeared.

"In the vicinity of Kyoto, in addition to dignitaries, there are several forces that cannot be provoked, you must keep in mind. These are all ancient families, and each family has several people in the temple and have to occupy high positions. ”

"These big families not only control agriculture and commerce in their sphere of influence, but even gang forces are controlled by them. ”

"Royal, how can such a family be allowed to exist?" Shen Yun looked curious.

Deliberately take a few steps forward, holding the railing with both hands and staring into the distance. In fact, he is not very interested, and the old man will occasionally be so suspicious of the past and the present, and Shen Yun can be regarded as cooperating with him.

The patriarch smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Shen Yun's posture.

So, it was even more gushing and explained in detail.

When the patriarch mentioned the "Shi family" near Meicheng and Shanglingfeng, Shen Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to listen carefully, and occasionally asked a few questions.

Liangdu is surrounded by countless hills, and it is a plain among the mountains.

However, these hills are very low, only Shangling Peak near Meicheng is a solitary peak, towering into the sky.

Meicheng is the companion city of Liangdu, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the capital, except for the royal family, there is no other family force to control. But a large area north of Meicheng is all under the influence of the Shi family, and even Jiayuan City is under the jurisdiction of the Shi family.

After all, the Qiqiao Gang is also under the management of the Shi family? Shen Yun said secretly in his heart.

"Chirp. Xue Ling probably saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she let out a clear sigh and left.

The patriarch smiled, didn't care, and continued to explain.

"The current head of the Shi family, who is said to be in his thirties, is a very mysterious figure, and I have hardly heard anyone say that he has ever seen him. Hehe, although he has no official or position, the Shi family has the final say on him alone!"

"If you have no official or position, will the clansmen obey him?" Shen Yun looked curious. But in his heart, he estimated that nine times out of ten the head of the Shi family was an immortal cultivator, so no one in the clan was unconvinced.

He even suspected that the ancient families that the old man said had the background of immortal cultivators.

"Who knows. The patriarch smiled and said, "There are also rumors that the head of the Shi family ......."

Shen Yun's heart rippled at this time, this Shi Jin is likely to be the son of the head of the Shi family?

Shi Jin once said that his family is very old, and there are some even more ancient classics in the clan, if Shi Jin can be found, I believe that the road to cultivating immortals in the future will be much smoother.

However, Shen Yun's main concern at the moment was not this, he really wanted to know, is there any way for the immortal cultivator to save the old man, can he help the old man prolong his life?

The high-level immortal cultivator in Shen Yun's mind is omnipotent, especially Shi Jin once mentioned that his sister can also refine the spirit pill.

"The elixir of immortal cultivators will definitely make mortals healthy and prolong their lives. "There is no doubt about this, but what is uncertain is, can those old men take the pills?

Shen Yun silently recalled what Shi Jin had said at the beginning, which confirmed one by one whether the Shi family would be Shi Jin's family.

So much so that even the old man later said that Shangling Peak has beautiful scenery, what is very famous, and Sangshan tea leaves have a fight, etc., but he didn't hear it clearly.

Seeing that Shen Yun was absent-minded, the old man slapped him on the skull and walked away.

Shen Yunhun didn't care, the heart that was originally looking for other monks was light, but now it was brought up again, and he suddenly fell into deep thought.

Looking up at the boundless sky, he muttered in his mouth: "Do you want to go to the Shi family to explore?"
