Chapter 54: It's hard to decide to stay

No one thought that things would turn out like this, Lin Dui turned into a little son-in-law brought back by Li Haichao and married to Li Qingxue, but this is much better than exposing the truth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the Li family's father and daughter understand the truth completely differently, one is afraid of disaster, and the other is afraid that Lin Du will suffer, but in order to cover up the truth, they invariably have the same thoughts. It is more important than anything else to obscure the current level, and nothing else can only be said after the fact.

The girl is precocious, nine-year-old Li Qingxue is not completely ignorant of marriage, and when she ran over, she was shocked and ashamed when she heard that the fourth grandfather had mistakenly ordered mandarin ducks, but then she saw her father nodding and admitting that in order to protect Lin Dui, she couldn't think of any other way for a while, so she could only make mistakes. She was afraid that Lin Du would open her mouth to clarify in a hurry, which would arouse the suspicion of the fourth grandfather, so she quickly took his hand and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

He looked at the girl's slightly shy face, and finally held back his squeak, and his dark and bright eyes turned and continued to look at the thin old man.

The old man was not much taller than Lin Du, like dried sweet potatoes drying on the balcony in summer, although he was shriveled and thin, his body was tough and his face was ruddy. There was a faint fragrance on the old man's body, which was the smell of countless kinds of flowers mixed together, and the smell was refreshing and invigorating. The bamboo cane in his left hand is as green as jade, and the nine bamboo joints are slightly bulging, which is very reminiscent of the dog-beating stick in martial arts novels, but this bamboo cane is obviously not used for dog-fighting.

The old man stretched out his right hand like a withered branch and patted it lightly on the top section of the green bamboo cane, and two drops of dew-like liquid oozed from the blue-green outer wall of the bamboo. He tilted his head slightly, opened his eyes slightly, and the two drops of "dew" broke away from the bamboo cane, shimmered with a glimmer of crystal, and flew into his eyes.

"I'm old, my eyes are really useless, I don't rely on flower essences, I can't see anything clearly, and I really can't do anything in the future. ”

The old man sighed unhappily. He was really unhappy, and he didn't know why Li Haichao was so anxious to find a son-in-law for his daughter. Although Qingxue can't speak, after all, she is the best cultivation seedling of these generations in the valley, and she is gentle and beautiful, so she doesn't have to worry about getting married, so where do you need to take precautions? Even if you take precautions, you have to ask for your own opinion first, Qingxue is the junior she values the most, she has excellent qualifications and is serious and studious, how can he Li Haichao be worthy of finding a boy at random? Such a hurry, it's like child's play!

The old man has not been very happy recently, and the more unhappy he is, the more he can't sleep all night, and he can only rely on the flower essence to refresh his spirits. His favorite granddaughter Li Xiaoyun betrayed the clan and stole the Fengming sword to save her brother Li Haining, putting the clan in danger, and her life and death are still unknown. That is a junior he has high hopes for, who has been carefully cultivated for many years, and is ready to teach him all the skills of flower essence, but many years of hard work have been ruined in this way. The old man was sad, as if he had suddenly aged ten years again.

The old man had no choice but to pin all his hopes on his great-granddaughter Li Qingxue. Qingxue's qualifications are much better than Xiaoyun's, and he is more enthusiastic about flowers and flower essences. He is now only afraid that something will happen to this great-granddaughter, and he is very concerned about everything related to this child, and marriage is no exception. Li Haichao's private advocacy made the old man very sad, and he had to sigh that people really can't do anything when they are old.

Li Qingxue was blue-hearted, and she heard the voice of the fourth grandfather, but she couldn't speak. Watching the fourth grandfather point the flower essence into his eyes, the heart that he had just put down rose to his throat again, and the hand holding Lin Du was tightened a little.

She knew that the bamboo cane of the fourth grandfather was hidden in the mechanism, and each section contained different flower essences, and the flower essence of the first section was called "Heart Eye Rainbow", after soaking the eyes with it, the fourth grandfather could awaken the magical vision that could see everything in the human body. He can observe whether there is a hidden disease in the human body, whether the meridians are unblocked, and he can also directly see the bright and extinguished stars in the human star mansion. He was not very satisfied with Lin Dui, and wanted to examine him thoroughly.

Incorporating two drops of flower essence, the old man's eyes instantly brightened a little, like a dry lake being moistened by new rain, and there seemed to be a seven-colored halo circulating in his pupils, like a rainbow hanging high after a new rain. He no longer squinted his eyes, this time he looked at Lin Du seriously, and his whole person suddenly increased a little bit of untouchable majesty.

Lin Du was just curious at first, as far as he knew, flower essence was always taken orally, and none of them could be injected into his eyes like a potion. But with a light touch of those two rainbow-like gazes, he couldn't help but shake his body, and suddenly became inexplicably nervous, feeling as if his whole body had been seen through, and there was no secret. At that moment, he was almost about to turn around and run away, but he felt the girl tighten his hand, so he couldn't bear to move, but watched the old man's every move nervously.

The old man's eyes were shining, and his gaze quickly moved from top to bottom, and soon fell between Lin Dui's chest and abdomen, stopping there and no longer moving, with a strange expression on his face that he had never seen before.

His gaze pierced through Lin Dui's Star Mansion. Although he couldn't see Lin Dui's unusual black vortex, he could clearly see the lit Ceres, the pale green color was so strange that he was surprised for a long time.

The first star lit up in everyone's Star Mansion can only be Gu Xing, which is a heaven-given cultivation star, and with the power of Gu Xing, the star mansion will be nourished, and the seeds of other planets will have the possibility of growth. In the old man's opinion, this only bright star must be Gu Xing Undoubtedly, but where can Gu Xing be such a light color, even if the star power is thinner, it is impossible to do so, the old man has inspected other people's star mansions all his life, and he has never seen such a Gu Xing. He frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally came up with only one explanation: it was a natural variable star!

In the history of the cultivation world, there have been several major theoretical changes, one of which occurred in the year 756 of the ephemeris, when Li Bai, the leader of the Li clan in Longxi, proposed to take "star change" as a cultivation realm, listed as the fifth realm alongside the four major cultivation realms, and created a cultivation era of star change. The so-called "star change" is the mutation of the star, the same star, but can cultivate different star power attributes and abilities from others. This realm is different from the other realms, the other four realms are like steps, you have to practice and climb step by step from low to high, but "star change" is focused on the word "change", it is flexible and changeable, it can appear in any cultivation realm, or it may never appear.

The four realms recognized by practitioners are the Enlightenment Realm (opening up the power of the stars), the Fusion Realm (the fusion of different star forces to produce the star power of complex attributes), the Sky Realm (there is space in the body to conceive and can be reincarnated and immortal), and the Transformation Realm (the ultimate realm, which is the universe itself, has no time limit, no space limit, and is the eternity pursued by the practitioner).

The realm of astral change is independent of the four realms, it is not a stage that must be passed through for cultivation, and it is not a stage that anyone can cultivate if they want to, and they must rely on a unique understanding or chance to enter this realm, it will add great variables to a person's practice, and most of them will bring special and powerful abilities.

The only sign of a Planetary Realm is that it has more than one mutated star, which is a variable star. All the special changes in the astral bodies that are cultivated are called variable stars. Before Li Bai, there were very few cultivators who appeared on variable stars, and since Li Bai first systematically studied variable stars and established the theory of variable star cultivation, there were more people who cultivated variable stars in later generations, and Rao was also one in a hundred. And among these kinds of variable stars, the vast majority of them are acquired, and the innate variable stars are only something that exists in legends, and they have stepped into the realm of star change at the beginning of their cultivation, as if they have a higher starting point than others.

In the old man's opinion, Lin Dui's Ceres is a legendary-level natural variable star, and if it were not so, there would be no explanation. It's just that this star is too small, and according to normal estimates, the qualification should not exceed 10 points, but how can such a low qualification be lit? This is really a strange thing that I have never seen in my life! Could it be that this natural variable star is not only unique in star nature, but also out of the normal orbit in terms of the size of the star?

Although the old man lived for more than a hundred years, he had never seen a natural variable star. It's not because he is short-sighted and short-sighted, it's just that natural variable stars are extremely rare, not to mention him, even those old guys outside the valley may not have seen one. However, it is clearly recorded in the cultivation scriptures, "All born to change stars are geniuses". Since he is a genius of the world, he naturally cannot be measured by common sense, although this variable star is small, it must not be underestimated.

How did he know that Lin Du was originally an outsider, and he lit up a Ceres instead of a mutated Ceres, and the qualifications of this Ceres were indeed pitifully low. The old man only thought that this kid was very talented, and maybe he wouldn't meet one in hundreds of years, so he couldn't help but suddenly understand, and immediately understood the reason why Li Haichao made his own opinion. How can you let go of such a treasure? Even if you pull and pull hard, you have to get it to the valley!

The old man was surprised and delighted, and the unhappiness that had been pressed in his heart for several days was swept away, where could there be half a point of dissatisfaction? This kid is still quite right with Qingxue. The rainbow light in his eyes dissipated, the old man smiled, turned to Li Haichao and nodded: "It's rare that you have this vision and find a child with a natural change star! This child is also suitable for Qingxue, although he is still young, but there are many child marriage customs among the people outside the valley, so it is good to settle down early." ”

Li Haichao was worried on the side. He never thought about marrying his daughter, and even if he really wanted to marry, it wouldn't be Lin Dui's turn. Not to mention anything else, the grudge between him and Lin Du is destined to be inappropriate to conclude this family business, he only plans to get through the trick first, and then think of other ways afterwards. But as soon as the old man spoke, he was stunned for a moment.

What it means to be born a variable star, Li Haichao knows it very well. He couldn't believe it, he just caught a child by mistake, it was an extremely rare star change body, but the old man's vision was magical, and it was impossible to be wrong. At this time, he suddenly remembered that this kid could obviously practice, but Jin Luohua said that he had no cultivation qualifications. Yes, a born Gu Xing is a child of a variable star, and the attributes of Gu Xing are naturally different from normal Gu Xing, and it is normal to use general qualification testing methods to get a result of zero qualification!

I see! Li Haichao couldn't help but pause, and there was also a surprise. He suddenly felt that it was not bad to really admit this family business by mistake, of course, even if he didn't want to admit it now, it would be difficult to do, the meaning of the fourth grandfather's words was very clear, and the old man had really recognized this marriage. After being stunned for a moment, he had no choice but to make a smile and said: "Yes, yes, Fourth Grandpa Mingjian, otherwise Xiaoxue is so young, how would I be in a hurry to find someone for her? I am also very happy to find this child, I just brought him back, and I want to take him to meet Fourth Grandpa!"

"Good, good. The old man leaned on the green bamboo cane, stroked the gray beard under his chin with his hand, turned his head and looked at Lin Du with a smile: "Child, this glass valley will be your home from now on." I am your fourth grandfather, I have the final say in the affairs of this valley, what I lack, what I want, whoever bullied you, you can tell me, I will definitely call the shots for you. ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, Lin Du raised his face and asked, "Then I want to go out of the valley, is it okay?"

Lin Du found that the situation was developing in a strange direction. He and Li Qingxue also heard the old man's words, and he didn't expect that the secret of his cultivation that he didn't want to reveal would be mistaken for a natural change. This so-called talent made the old man praise him a lot, and even Li Haichao began to take the initiative to echo it. If the default marriage was still a pretense before, now this pretense is about to come true. Li Qingxue only hoped that the fourth grandfather would not kill Lin Dui and just pass the test in a fool's way, but Lin Dui was different, he just wanted to leave, seeing that there was a trend of fake plays, he was a little panicked in his heart, and he took the opportunity to put forward the request straightforwardly.

Li Haichao's heart was beating for a while, for fear that this little ancestor would poke out the truth. Li Qingxue couldn't help but hook his little finger in the palm of his hand, the fact that Gu was raised at this time was out of place, if the fourth grandfather was angry and turned his face, I am afraid that there would be a lot of trouble.

The old man was very surprised and stunned for a moment. This kid has just come in and is about to go out, how can this work? Could it really be that the tide is dragged in? He was unhappy in his heart, but he still asked with a smile: "What, isn't our valley good?"

"The valley is very good, very beautiful, always like spring, very comfortable, but ......" Lin Du wanted to say that his mother was outside, so he wanted to go out, but as soon as he remembered that Li Haichao said that it was because of his mother's elders that he wanted to kill himself, he couldn't help but say nothing, thought for a while, and then said: "The winter in the north is very cold, only the quilt is the warmest, but the fourth grandfather, should we always lie in the quilt and not get up?"

Children who used to be bedridden have a deep understanding of the hot quilt in winter. Lin Du just wanted to use this analogy to explain why he wanted to leave. It's a good place to stay in the valley all year round, but that's not an excuse for me to hide here and not go out, I just want to leave.

But according to Lin Du's words, the Li clan people living in seclusion in the valley have become a group of lazy people who are nostalgic for the quilt and refuse to get up. Although the child has no choice of words and no other thoughts, this is no less than naked sarcasm. The old man's face suddenly turned the color of pork liver, and he looked a little scary. Li Qingxue originally felt that Lin Dui's words were very reasonable, but when she saw the face of the fourth grandfather, her heart couldn't help but hang again. Li Haichao couldn't help coughing twice and shouted, "How can you talk to grandpa like this?"

"No, that's right. The old man waved his hand to Li Haichao, and said to Lin Du: "It makes sense, it's rare that you can say this at a young age." Outside is the vast world, my valley is just a warm bed, outside is the big river and the sea, my valley is just a small river without wind and waves. But child, you are just a small fish, you can't stir up any wind and waves in the big river and sea, and you will be eaten by big fish, but you can grow up safely in my small river, and when you grow into a big fish, what's wrong with swimming into the sea?"

"But ......"

Lin Duan wanted to defend something, but the old man waved his hand to interrupt him, and pointed to the blue moon above the village, which was already faint in the morning light: "Although the outside world is big, is there such a big Gu Xing? The Gu Xing outside is spinning around, and there is only half of the time for you to meditate every day, but my Gu Xing in the Glass Valley is completely our own, and the starlight is rich twenty-four hours a day, at least twice as strong as outside." ”

The old man looked a little excited, turned around and pointed to a cluster of flowers and plants at the edge of the village not far away, and said: "Look again, my valley is full of strange flowers and plants, are there any outside? Although I don't have any spar minerals here, there are flower essences that have been immersed in several generations of life, and our flower essences are unique, completely different from those outside, and their assistance to cultivation is more comprehensive and powerful.

Lin Du opened his mouth a few times, but each time he was blocked by the old man, he simply blinked his eyes and looked at the old man with a trembling beard with anger, wanting to wait for him to finish speaking. After the old man said this, he turned around and brushed his sleeves away, leaving only the last sentence: "Go back, come to me with Qingxue in the afternoon!"

In the milky white morning light, the stubborn old man walked away with a cane, and in the sound of the bamboo cane frequently clicking, there was a low sigh and unwilling self-muttering: "Could it be that I have been in the bed all my life......

Lin Du looked at the old man's back, turned to Li Haichao in a hurry, and asked, "Then you still can't send me out?"

Li Haichao also had a pork liver on his face, shook his head, and said embarrassedly: "It's not possible for the time being, delay it and then find a way." ”
