Chapter 24 What's New in the Rivers and Lakes

In Shangjing, a boy in Tsing Yi was holding a stack of books and newspapers, shouting loudly and selling them along the street.

"Come and see, the freshly baked "Exploration of Martial Arts" is wonderful and fresh. ”

"Come and see, the lord of Ningtang Lin Mansion in Yuhang City has been promoted to the top grandmaster, and another grandmaster has been added to the Tianlong list. ”

"Come and see, the round Zen master on the Golden Scale Mountain has reached the top! ”

"Come and see, the freshly baked "Exploration of Martial Arts", ten cents a copy, ten cents a copy. ”

While the boy in Tsing Yi was shouting, a white-clothed swordsman stepped forward, handed him ten cents, took a copy of "Martial Arts Exploration" by himself, and drifted away.

"Ziyun Tower, Zhu Yulin, Lin Weiyuan, Absolute Grandmaster?"

The white-clothed swordsman walked on the bustling street, but he turned a blind eye to the people around him, read the newspaper, and walked on his own, but miraculously did not hit a single pedestrian on the road.

It was as if his eyes were not on his face, but on the top of his head.

The white-clothed swordsman read the newspaper, and after a while, he turned into his own mansion.

On the plaque of the solemn mansion gate, the word "Shen Mansion" is written impressively.

This white-clothed swordsman was actually a member of the "Shen family", one of the seven great families of the Wu Dynasty.

"Ju'an, you're back, how did you get from the training here?"

A white-haired old man was in the pavilion of the Shen Mansion, leisurely sipping tea, and his grandson returned from his safe experience, he couldn't help but say with concern.

After all, as far as he got, his grandson's trip was not smooth.

The white-clothed swordsman is the rumored Qilin son of the Shen family on the rivers and lakes - Shen Ju'an.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. Shen Ju'an sat down opposite the white-haired old man.

This grandfather of mine is strict and loving.

There are deceitful people in the big family, but he does his best to treat every descendant fairly, he Shen Ju'an is a unicorn, he treats him like this, and those descendants of the Shen family who are difficult to do in martial arts are also like this.

This made Shen Ju'an respect his grandfather very much.

"That round monk of the Great Compassion Temple, I heard that he has reached the top of the Golden Scale Mountain, it's amazing! No one has set foot in that place for a long time. ”

Shen Ju'an happened to turn to the article where the leaders of the four major sects tried to climb the ladder, and caught a glimpse of the name of the round monk.

As his grandfather said, the round monk climbed to the top of the Golden Scale Mountain!

"The Great Compassion Temple has a long heritage, and it is always ascetic, and it is natural to have this achievement. Shen Ju'an was not jealous.

This time, he was also one of the participants in the Golden Scale Test.

It's just that he hasn't tried to climb the ladder yet.

The Shen family's family tradition is a mastery - killing the sword, the sword will see blood, there is no need to prepare, and you can't be prepared.

The golden scale test, climb the ladder, then he will go to climb that day.

If you try it once, you will be missing.

This is exactly the way that Shen Jiayu saw in the "Stone of Asking Dao".

"I watched "Martial Arts Exploration" a month ago, and when I saw you in Qingzhou, one person and one sword, slaughtered the Qinglong Village that harmed civilians, and shook the rivers and lakes. This is very good, with the demeanor of my Shen family's unicorn. ”

"But in Weizhou, he lost the Lin family in Shangjing. Shen Ju'an said expressionlessly: "After all, it is an insult to the reputation of the Shen family, and the grandson confesses to his grandfather!"

"It's okay, it's okay, the Shangjing Lin family drove away Lin Weiyuan back then, it was the biggest mistake, even if the children and grandchildren have one or two people who are angry, what can they do, for their own selfishness, drive away a top grandmaster, go to the Beijing Lin family, but that's it, grandchildren don't need to mind. ”

"This family competition, the Han family is afraid that it will suffer, and the face of the Lin family in Shangjing will not look good! After all, Lin Weiyuan is ambitious. ”

"Let's just watch the show. The white-haired old man had deep eyes.

As a bloodthirsty killing sword master, the white-haired old man has a completely different personality from the exercises he has practiced in his daily life.

He is low-key, calm, forbearing, loving, and kind. During his tenure, he pulled the Shen family from the bottom of the family to the upper class.

"Don't act rashly. ”

"Grandchildren remember. ”

......

Unlike the indifference of the Shen family in Shangjing, the head of the Lin family fell into anger.

The old man Lin Ruhai threw away the copy of "Exploration of Martial Arts" that said that Lin Weiyuan had been promoted to the top grandmaster, and smashed it with one palm, and he was furious.

"Heh, he Lin Weiyuan is majestic, he has stepped into the ranks of the top grandmasters in his sixties, do you really want to be on an equal footing with me in the Lin family in Beijing?"

"It's obvious, father. ”

Lin Jiejia, the most outstanding among the younger generation, was sitting in Lin Ruhai's study at the moment, while accepting Lin Ruhai's ear and face, while discussing the affairs of the Lin family in Ningtang with him.

He was also one of the participants in the Golden Scale Test.

"Our Shangjing Lin family and Jinling Han family both support the third prince, but Lin Weiyuan turned around and plunged into the second prince's mansion, making it clear that he didn't take our Shangjing Lin family in his eyes. ”

"Hmph, if you want to become a real family, it's not so easy, if you want to become a family, there must be a inheritance, just his stupid son, where can he pass it on? I'm afraid that when the time comes, the government will fight for power and profit, and his own family will fight his own family, and within a few years, it will be broken up. ”

Lin Ruhai said, and suddenly smiled: "Moreover, we still have the secret chess move of Jili, don't we?

Lin Ruhai's tightly knit brows finally opened.

For some reason, Lin Jiejia heard Lin Jili's name, but imperceptibly showed a trace of disdain and disgust.

But he knew that Lin Ruhai had a good impression of Lin Jili, so he restrained this disdain and disgust, after all, he was the one who was going to participate in the Golden Scale Test on behalf of the Shangjing Lin family.

He is the true master of the Shangjing Lin family, the future.

His target should be the monk of the Great Compassion Temple who has climbed to the top of the Golden Scale Mountain, Yuanzhi.

......

A new "Exploration of Martial Arts", the reactions of all parties are varied.

The Shen family was indifferent and would never act rashly, while the Shangjing Lin family was furious, but behind the scenes, they were thinking about conspiracy and tricks.

The head of the Han family wandered in front of the door of the old ancestor's retreat for nearly a night, and he couldn't see this old ancestor who "didn't know whether he was alive or dead", so he left depressed and continued to be in fear.

Because of the incident in Ziyunlou, the third prince lost control of the Ministry of Shangshu in the court, and a predictable purge, in the brewing, he was having a headache and lost a lot of hair.

The second prince was full of pride, and in the study, the names of several close officials were lined up, and he was thinking about who to push up to be the secretary of the ministry. At the same time, I was thinking about going to the Great Compassion Temple to eat fasting, worship the Buddha, and meet the round monk who was in the limelight for a while.

The old emperor coughed all night in the starry night, his bloodshot eyes drooping blankly, and the great rivers and mountains were about to say goodbye to him. The beautiful concubine who was only eighteen years old next to him was naked and naked, like a piece of soft white jade, lying beside him like this, he wanted to pick up a gun and get on the horse, but he couldn't do it after all. The immortal chief of the Immortal Court had already judged that his life was less than half a year, and the medicine stone was difficult to save, so he had to accept his fate.

The old monk of the Great Compassion Temple heard about the fact that the round monk was on the verge of the top, and did not tell the kitchen to fry two more dishes, but asked the little monks to pick up two more trips of water from the bottom of the mountain every day, and eat half a steamed bun less on the dining table.

Qingyun Sect heard the news of Wu Sizi's halberd sinking into the sand, and there were some different voices in the sect, wanting to replace the mediocre Wu Sizi from the Golden Scale Test, and the sect was so noisy that it even reached the two top grandmasters, Fu Chenzi and Xiaoyaozi, and the two old ancestors unanimously rejected their idea of replacing Wu Sizi, and suppressed different voices, so no one in the sect dared to object.

Jixia School Palace was overjoyed because of the performance of Yuan Xueyi, but because the spring was approaching and there were many things, he still advised students to read more books of sages every day and always cultivate Haoran righteousness.

Ruizhu Palace was dissatisfied with Su Qingwan's poor performance in trying to climb the ladder this time. Unlike the two supreme masters of the Qingyun Sect, in the Ruizhu Palace, the two palace masters of Chunhua and Qiuyue each hold a voice, stalemate, and do not give in to each other, whether Su Qingwan's quota for the Golden Scale Test will be replaced, only on the day of the real Golden Scale Test, will it be known.

And the Ningtang Lin family fell into a solemn state at this moment.

The dignified Lin family in Ningtang was really kidnapped by a small white cloud crane, how could Lin Weiyuan not be angry?

"That inner ghost has been arrested, but before he could be tried, he took poison and died. Lin Jili reported the situation to Lin Weiyuan.

His face was expressionless, and there was no distraction on his face.

"Moreover, the young master Xiu Ran finally returned safely, the young lady is also safe and sound, and the white cloud crane has also died violently in the deserted house outside the city, I think it is God to bless my Ningtang Lin family, the old man should not make a big fuss, pay attention to the body. ”

Lin Jili persuaded Lin Weiyuan.

"The master Xiu Ran said, you have some eyebrows, if you know who it is, we can thank them in person. Lin Weiyuan was still indignant in his heart, after all, although Lin Xiuran was already stupid, he was also his only flesh and blood, if he really had a good one, he would definitely make the Han family pay the price.

"I don't know who it is now, I only know that it is a master of using drugs, and the masters of using drugs on the rivers and lakes are too mysterious to investigate, and if we check, he may still be unhappy. ”

"Well, it makes sense, then this matter, forget it, since people don't want to show up, let's not pursue it anymore, it's better to have a secret friend than an open-faced enemy. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Lin Jili agreed, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Lin Weiyuan.

"The matter of Baiyun Crane is a lesson, although the house is heavily guarded, it can't avoid the appearance of ghosts, just in case, it is necessary to let Xiu Ran and Xin'er have some ability to protect themselves. Lin Weiyuan thought for a while and said, "In this way, this matter will be arranged by you, find a loyal and reliable person, teach them some self-defense skills, at least so that they can deal with some Xiaoxiao in the future." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll do it. ”

"Go ahead!"

Lin Weiyuan waved his hand and asked Lin Jili to retreat.

......

Yiran was in the middle, and when Lin Weiyuan mentioned Lin Xiuran and Luo Xin'er, both of them sneezed at the same time.

Because of the coincidence, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"This nerd. ”

Luo Xin'er looked at Lin Xiuran kneading her nose and laughed quietly.

This nerd is his future husband!
