Chapter 59: Drunk and Sorrowful
Because he had to let Lin Du and Li Qingxue go out of the valley, Old Man Li had 110,000 worries about them, and these days he was very keen to create all kinds of traps and crises to test Lin Du's imminent enemy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe old man has never been out of the valley in his life, and he doesn't know what the world outside the valley is like, but he thinks that there must be wicked people everywhere, and there are endless tricks and conspiracies. But the old man has always been obsessed with raising flowers and brewing flower essences, and he is not very good at tricks or knives and guns, so he uses some poisonous flowers from time to time to make tricks.
Always repeats the old tricks, there is no new tricks to trick people and harm people, Lin Duan naturally has already taken precautions. Seeing that the other party's bamboo cane was approaching, he hurriedly shouted: "Fourth Grandfather, be careful of destroying the books!"
The old man is just a test, and he doesn't really want to kill, so he will inevitably look forward and backward when he does it. After Lin Dui's shout, the bamboo cane really slowed down by half a beat, taking this opportunity Lin Dui did his best to gather and cultivate, the black vortex in his abdomen swirled sharply, and the star power spurted out like a spring, and the star mansion was suddenly bright, and there was a dragon and snake swimming in the qi veins, and the qi blocked by the fragrance of flowers was penetrated in an instant. It's just that he just wanted to reach out and grab the bamboo cane, but he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the angle of the other party's swing, so he forcibly stopped the urge to fight back, and watched motionlessly as the bamboo cane slid diagonally across his scalp and left shoulder, completely falling into the air.
The old man who narrowed his eyes into a line exclaimed: "This has been avoided?
Lin Du thought that the old man's eyes were really getting worse and worse, and smiled awkwardly: "It's you who hit the crooked." ”
"Really?" the old man frowned, his sparse white eyebrows, and the bamboo cane in his hand straightened up, and pointed at Lin Dui's left shoulder again. Lin Du gently and skillfully dodged sideways, and the old man's other hand shone with a golden red light, and he slapped Xuan He with his might. Lin Dui had no choice but to stand up and greet each other, the palm of the palm ignited with a yellow light cluster, the two palms intersected in the air, and in the bang, just like the old man's sun star power flattened Lin Dui's Saturn power, the yellow light cluster stretched outward, turning into an umbrella-shaped barrier, forming an inverted momentum to encircle the old man's arm, blocking the golden red light points that burst out, so that the nearby collection of books would not be disturbed.
As soon as the star power converged, the light faded, and Old Man Li's face was undiminished, and he praised sincerely: "Okay! It is worthy of being talented, and the control of star power has reached a new level!"
"It's because the fourth grandfather is afraid that he will damage the collection of books, so his subordinates will be merciful, otherwise how can I have room to play?" Lin Dui felt helpless in his heart, always the same old routine, and his eyes were not good, and he frequently missed his hand, and he was even more worried about hurting people and things, so he kept three points before he made a move, and he didn't have the momentum of a thunderous fight, how could such a test be effective? The old man really couldn't rest assured of himself, and he really didn't know how to kill. He was very suspicious that Li Haichao's words about the clan elders wanting to kill him were simply lying. How could a person like Old Man Li have murderous intentions? You must know that he was just a child at that time. It's just that seven years have passed, and there is no point in pursuing these things anymore.
The old man still squinted his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Although I didn't go all out, the power of the five spins is also there, you can block my attack under the interference of the blood soul, and you still have the strength to protect the book, and the actual cultivation should be above the six spins." Open the Star Mansion and let me see!"
Lin Du scratched his head embarrassedly: "You just watched it a few days ago, so you don't need to watch it anymore now, right? ”
Despite saying so, he knew that he still couldn't resist the old man, the star power in the qi veins was reversed, and a few faint lights immediately appeared between the chest and abdomen, the light green is Ceres, the milky white is the marriage star, the cyan is Mercury, the white is Venus, and the yellow is Saturn, a total of five, the two stars of gold and water are the largest, and they are only the size of soybeans, and they are estimated to be only five according to normal qualifications, and the rest are as thin as rice grains. All five are solitary "naked stars", and none of them have a whirlpool.
This is the whole result of Lin Duan's seven years of penance. The starlight absorbed in the past seven years will flow into the black vortex, but no matter how hard he tries, no matter how much starlight is absorbed, the vortex has never been able to light up, but every once in a while, there will be a vortex condensation-like vibration inside the vortex, and the overflowing various star power tides will converge to the corresponding planetary seeds, and occasionally activate those seeds that have not been lit. That's how the planets lit up. However, regardless of the qualifications of these planets, the vortex that is accustomed to eating alone never gives them any chance, and still swallows all the starlight in one bite, so they all look malnourished, and they are all naked stars that have not yet condensed into any vortex.
According to the normal cultivation procedure, Lin Duan should have chosen the natal star for his key cultivation, but these planets could not absorb the starlight, so naturally they could not cultivate, and the choice of the natal star became meaningless. Fortunately, when Lin Duyun used star power, more and more same-sex star power would flow out of the whirlpool to support it, which would make those seemingly weak and weak naked stars burst out with a power that was several spins higher. Old Man Li was originally deeply disappointed by Lin Dui's lack of progress in cultivation, thinking that the so-called "natural variable star" was a joke, but after discovering that Lin Duan's actual star power was far beyond the ordinary, he was greatly surprised, and felt more and more that "variable star" really did not follow the ordinary path, and could not be measured by ordinary rules everywhere.
On the one hand, the old man had very high expectations for Lin Dui, and on the other hand, he felt that variable stars were a rare thing, so he had to observe Lin Dui's Star Mansion every once in a while to see if there were any new changes. Of course, he couldn't see the existence of the black vortex, and naturally he couldn't detect any abnormalities. Lin Dui's Star Mansion was as lonely as a desert, and it was always just a few faint sparks.
"Why are you still the same?" Old man Li craned his neck and squinted his eyes for a long time, and complained a little dissatisfied, "You and Xiaoxue will get married in the past two days, and you will go out of the valley after the marriage, it seems that the old man I can't see the growth of your variable star, it's a pity!"
Lin Du smiled and said, "The fourth grandfather might as well go out of the valley with us, and the three of us will go to Kyoto Shangling for a tour together." ”
The old man glanced at him: "Stinky boy, why don't you say that you will stay in the valley for more time?"
"Well, I really want to spend some more days with my fourth grandfather, but Qingxue wrote to my family seven years ago to report the return date, and my parents are looking forward to the return of their children, so I don't dare to delay more. ”
"Hmph, there is no need to say beautiful words, the old man is not confused, and he is not unreasonable, after all, seven years have passed, and I should go back and see it as soon as possible. The old man sighed, changed his words, and suddenly asked with some seriousness: "Lin Dui, do you blame me for forcibly leaving you in the valley in the first place?"
Lin Du was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I must have been reluctant when I was a child, but you gave me the best cultivation resources and taught me the Li Clan's unique flower essence, if I have a little bit of resentment against you, my mother will scold me for being ungrateful." ”
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at him, and nodded approvingly: "Okay! You can think like this, it means that the old man still has a little vision for people, and he has taught you for so many years, but the cultivation resources, the secret art of flower essence, these things are not important to me, but I have given you the most important thing." ”
Lin Du was stunned again, and asked, "What is it?"
"The future of Lai. The old man said word by word, "Since taking refuge in the valley and listing the blood spirit devouring heart as a forbidden technique, our clan can no longer use ancestral weapons to activate the bloodline, as the bloodline is diluted from generation to generation, the talent is gradually withering, Xiaoxue is the best seedling of my Li clan in a hundred years, and she does not rely on forbidden techniques, and she also has close first-class qualifications." The hope for the revival of our clan lies entirely in her, and she is the future of my Li clan. As soon as I saw you seven years ago, I believed that you were a great opportunity given to my clan by God, so I left you in the valley and tried my best to match you and Xiaoxue. How difficult it is for our clan to revive, only by entrusting Xiaoxue to you can there be a glimmer of hope. ”
Hearing these words in Lin Du's ears, they immediately stirred up a large ripple in his heart. He had long known that Old Man Li mistakenly thought that he was the so-called Star Changeling Body, but he didn't know that the other party regarded him so important. He was just a child who was brought into this world for no reason, Xingfu was born differently from ordinary people, where is the genius of genius? How can he afford to bear the heavy responsibility of reviving the Li family? But these words have been in his heart countless times, but he can't say it.
I can't say it. Seven years have passed like this, the old man Li has almost helped himself to practice with the strength of the whole clan, all the books are open to him, and he has taught the secret art of flower essence, he really can't bear to tell the truth, let the old man know that all the efforts are in vain. If he is really a genius, if he is really capable, it is also within his duty to contribute to the revival of the Li family, but he is a guy who can't even choose a life star, he doesn't think that genius is like this.
Faced with the old man's heavy responsibility, he had no choice but to nod his head: "I know, don't worry, I'm ...... Will definitely do my best!"
Old man Li waved his hand, turned around and walked to the corner of the study on crutches: "I don't want you to make any promises, it's been so many years, and I have seen it, the rise and fall of a family is poor, and it has its own destiny." If there is something to do, you might as well push it, if you can't do it, I just hope that you can preserve the inheritance and bloodline of my clan in the big world. ”
As he spoke, the old man slowly walked into the corner of the wall, stretched out his thin right hand and penetrated the wall, and when he came out again, he already had a green cloth package in his hand. He turned around and solemnly handed the package to Lin Dui's hand: "This is the seven secret astral techniques of my clan and the Glass Flower Book compiled by me, I will hand them over to you and Qingxue." Remember, these astral spells can be said to be the symbol of our race, and they are very easy to reveal their identity, and they should not be passed on or used lightly. ”
Lin Du hurriedly nodded again. He knew that the Li family was a demon in the eyes of the cultivation world, and the Li family was walking outside, so in order not to be recognized, it was inconvenient to use these iconic secret star techniques.
After the old man Li finished explaining everything, he waved his hand to Lin Du and said, "Okay, okay, you can go home, it's time for Haichao to come back for wedding materials, you should also prepare for tomorrow's wedding, old man, I'll wait to drink your wedding wine." By the way, you must prepare two jars of green vine fairy drink for me!"
"I've got it ready for you in the morning," Lin Du replied cheerfully, "This time I'll give you a drink!"
The so-called green vine fairy drink is a kind of wine brewed by Lin Duan. There is a custom of picking flowers and making wine in the village, Lin Du also learned some wine-making techniques while learning the flower essence, the flower seedlings "mung bean" in the Suoyuan flower forest have bloomed full of trees in the past two years, although the smell is light, the wine is picked and brewed but there is a pungent fragrance, drinking into the stomach is refreshing and abnormal, making people like a fairyland, although the old man Li is not good at drinking, but he still fell in love with this mouthful. This flower can only be picked by Lin Dui, and this wine can only be brewed by Lin Dui, and the old man only hopes to have two more glasses at Lin Dui's wedding banquet.
Lin Du said goodbye to the old man and walked out of the courtyard, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, replaced by slightly locked eyebrows. He stood on the side of the road, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and pinched his temple with his hand. Wrapped in green cloth, rubbing the book in his hand, two thick ones, heavy, these are the hopes that Old Man Li and even the Li clan people placed on him. The marriage with Qingxue is still bothering him, and now there is another layer of shackles on his head. And this shackle that belonged to the "genius" was put on his head by the ghost. He didn't want to run away from anything, but after all, he felt that he had deceived the old man's trust.
"Qingxue's lifelong happiness, Lai's rejuvenation plan,...... Lin Dui, Lin Dusk, what the hell are you thinking?"
He muttered a few words in a low voice, then hugged the book to his chest, and walked quickly in the direction of the bamboo building, but he did not stop in front of the bamboo gate, but walked through the laughter and laughter coming from the courtyard, walked out of the village entrance, walked along the flower field path to the Suoyuan Flower Forest, and then leaned over into this natural flower and leaf cage. Passing through the countless Suoyuan flower trees, he walked to the side of a small green and lush tree, and felt the joy and greetings from the small tree. He greeted it, then took a wine gourd from the tree, sat down under the tree, and poured the wine into his mouth with his head up.
