Lin Xiu smiled bitterly: "Miss Zining, Erniu is young, he may have something to do in the future, I am an old man in the twilight, let me go to the Lu Mansion, isn't it a joke?"

Zi Ning said very seriously: "Mr. Lin, you are kind to me, I Zi Ning is a kindness and will be repaid, whoever dares to laugh at you, I will not finish with him, old man, I think although you have not cultivated, you must have extraordinary insight." ”

Lin Xiu said, "How can Miss Zi Ning see it?"

"Well, I don't know, but I just think that old gentleman, you are very extraordinary, that day, when I handed the ten silvers to you, you didn't even look at them, they were ten, if you were just a beggar, if you saw this silver, even if you didn't want to, you have to take a look, hehe, Mr. Lin, I have a good eye, right?"

Lin Xiu said with a smile: "Miss Zining has won the award, ten is too many, if it is one, I may accept it." ”

"Gee, no matter that. Zi Ning spoke, really more hearty than ordinary men, "Anyway, tomorrow morning, I will wait for you here, old man, you must bring Erniu over." ”

Lin Xiu returned to the Black Clothes Alley, but Erniu hadn't come back yet, so Lin Xiu thought about how to tell him later.

"This kid, if he knew that he could see Miss Zining, he would probably be able to laugh and laugh, I'd better remind him more, lest he take a detour in the future. "Lin Xiu has experienced too many things, and the years spent in the dream space are extremely long, and his current mind is really like an elder cares about his juniors, and he always has a heart that can't be finished.

After a few hours, the beggars in the Black Lane all returned, but Lin Xiu still didn't see Erniu. After asking, everyone doesn't know where Erniu is begging for food today.

When the third watch was approaching, Lin Xiu finally couldn't wait any longer, he wrapped his clothes tightly, walked out of the black alley, and began to look for the shadow of Erniu on the street.

"This kid, I don't know what to see, it's so late. Where the hell is it?" Lin Xiu walked through the streets where Erniu frequented, but still couldn't find it.

It was very cold, and Lin Xiu wrapped his clothes, for some reason. He began to feel a little agitated. I didn't know that when I got to that street, Lin Xiu suddenly saw a lot of people in front of him.

"Oh, it's really unlucky, it's not good to die, I actually died in front of my store. A fat-headed, big-eared merchant said.

Lin Xiu ran up. His heart was beating wildly, and when he rushed through the crowd and saw the figure on the ground, he immediately shouted: "Erniu! Erniu!"

When Lin Xiu picked up Er Niu from the ground, he only felt that Er Niu's body was cold to the bone, Er Niu's hand was still holding a piece of meat, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood and white foam. But he was still extremely sensitive to some things, and Lin Xiu immediately discovered that the piece of meat should be poisonous. Er Niu still had two pieces of fat in his arms, and Lin Xiu knew that he had kept them for his Uncle Lin.

Erniu is like this, every time he gets something delicious, he will always leave a large piece for Lin Xiu, and when he talks in his dreams at night, Erniu says: "Uncle, I don't even know what my father and mother look like." Now it's okay, you are my father, Erniu must be filial to you, Erniu will be able to do it in the future. I'll build you a house and let you take a concubine......"

These words are so much like what Lin Xiu said to his father when he was a child, but at this moment, Er Niu couldn't say it anymore, his body was colder than ice, and the blood that should have flowed on his body was cold. It also cooled Lin Xiu's heart.

Longcheng is rich, and the rich people are very willing to put the poison in the fat meat, which is the most effective, but the rats here are as elf as the merchants, and after dragging the fat away, they always have to smell it, and if they think it's wrong, they will throw it aside. Erniu is not so smart, he is a beggar, he would never have thought that someone would poison such good fat, so much fat, he can't eat it once in two years, Erniu didn't hold back his greed, and took two bites on the road.

No one cares about the life and death of a little beggar, when Lin Xiu picked up Erniu, the surrounding merchants just felt lucky, but they didn't know that some of them had indirectly killed the child.

Lin Xiu's pain in his heart was like a knife, but he just couldn't let himself cry. He just held Erniu in his arms and walked very slowly, all the way to the outside of the city.

"Erniu, Miss Zining agreed, I want to accept you as a disciple of the Lu Mansion, you can cultivate the truth, maybe you can be an immortal in the future......" Lin Xiu said in despair, while speaking, he used the copper bowl to dig a pit in the ground, "Miss Zining is very good, and her heart is good, if you follow her, the uncle will be relieved, but you can't expect someone to be your daughter-in-law, and when you grow up, ......"

Lin Xiu muttered, the pit was getting bigger and deeper, as if this grave was not dug for Erniu, but for himself.

After digging the grave and putting Erniu in it, Lin Xiu suddenly felt that he might be able to exert his spiritual power, and maybe he could save Erniu. He tried, no, almost all night, but to no avail.

In the end, Lin Xiu still buried Erniu, when dawn came, a bright light sprinkled down on the horizon, Lin Xiu's silent heart suddenly exploded, and the sudden realization made Lin Xiu close his eyes and take a deep breath.

"Can't give up...... As long as you are alive, as long as you still have a breath, you must not give up. Lin Xiu said in his heart, "There is nothing to complain about, although I have lost everything and become old, at least I am still alive." ”

Erniu's death was extremely devastating to Lin Xiu, but it also let him know that even in his current situation, he was luckier than the dead Erniu. Erniu lost the most important opportunity, and Lin Xiu couldn't wait to die here.

"Condensing qi, dissolving voidness, and condensing Dan...... What has been lost from my hands, I will recover them one by one. ”

Lin Xiu Mouran turned around.

Lu Zining, the eldest lady of the Lu family, stayed at the door of the house for an hour or two, and the Lu family came and went, whether it was a dignitary or a servant at home, they were all flattered to see Miss Zining at the door. Zi Ning just nodded at these people, her eyes kept staring at the street corners on both sides.

The maid behind her was a little angry, and began to mumble in her mouth, and was stared at by Zi Ning, and she stuffed all those swearing words into her stomach. Actually, Zi Ning herself felt very strange, she didn't pay much attention to the little beggar Erniu, but she always felt that Mr. Lin had an indescribable feeling, and that feeling seemed to be a thing...... No, Zi Ning felt that there was something missing from Mr. Lin, an old-fashioned spirit that should have belonged to his age.

For Zi Ning, Lin Xiu is indeed old enough, even if Zi Ning is now at the age of spring. Saying that she fell in love with the current Lin Xiu is also nonsense. However, I don't know why, Lu Zining just wants to talk to the old gentleman more. She wanted to know how Mr. Lin felt for him.

It wasn't until almost noon that Lin Xiu, who was wearing shabby clothes, arrived in front of the Lu Mansion.

"Mr. Lin, you're finally here. Zi Ning immediately greeted him, "Huh." Why don't you see that little beggar?"

There was a trace of sadness in Lin Xiu's eyes, "Erniu is dead." ”

"What?" Zi Ning's eyes widened, "What...... Suddenly dead?"

Lin Xiu closed his eyes and did not answer the question. In fact, there are many people dying every day in Dragon City, the one on the side of the road is called Huazi, the dignitaries in the city, there are too many people here, and a few will die if they die, but Zi Ning can see it. How sad the old gentleman in front of him was at the moment. What she thought of was that most of the old people were lonely, and it was hard to have a kid with them, and they might be counting on someone to send them off in the future, but now they ......

Zi Ning really wanted to invite Mr. Lin into the Lu Mansion and raise an old man until he died, but it would not take any effort for the daughter of the Lu family. But looking at Mr. Lin's eyes, she couldn't say anything, she always felt. Mr. Lin is not the kind of person who will accept handouts from others.

"Miss Zining, can you still let me enter the Lu Mansion?"

Hearing this, Zi Ning was slightly surprised, but then she laughed again. "Of course, Mr. Lin, as long as you don't dislike it, you can treat the Lu family as your own home, and Zining will definitely serve you as an elder. ”

Lin Xiu was very crisp at the moment, and he continued: "Miss Zining. I don't want to rely on your relationship with you to come to the Lu Mansion to have an idle meal, I want to take the opportunity of Erniu to be a disciple of your Lu Mansion. ”

"Old Mr. Lin, you mean that you want to cultivate?" Zi Ning looked at the old man in front of him again, "But old man, I'm afraid of you...... Hurt the body. ”

Zi Ning is already a cultivator, he naturally knows the hardships of entering the Dao, he feels that Mr. Lin must be a sad transition at the moment, so he will say such a thing, it is not difficult to agree, but to put it bluntly, Zi Ning does not want Mr. Lin to do such a self-defeating thing.

Lin Xiu said bluntly: "Miss Zi Ning, I won't tell you, I used to be a cultivator, and I had a little bit of cultivation that I couldn't handle, for some reason, more than half a year ago, my cultivation was exhausted, so I ended up in Dragon City, I already felt that I had no hope, but when I saw Er Niu die, I suddenly understood that I had not yet reached a dead end, I knew that it was difficult to restore my cultivation, but since I was alive, I had to give it a try, it should be for myself, and it should be to fulfill Er Niu's wish, and I hope Miss Zi Ning will be fulfilled." ”

Hearing this, Zi Ning couldn't help but smile and said: "Old Mr. Lin, it turns out that you are really a cultivator, no wonder you saw my shortcomings at a glance at that time, okay, since the old gentleman is still ambitious, I, Lu Zining, will definitely do my best to help you recover your cultivation." ”

"Thank you. Lin Xiu arched his hand.

Lu Zining asked again: "The old gentleman's cultivation must be very high, isn't he a master of turning into voids?"

"I don't want to talk about what has passed, but if I can condense it again, it will already be a blessing. ”

After entering the Lu Mansion with Zi Ning, Lin Xiu attracted a lot of attention, the Lu Mansion is worthy of being one of the largest families in the Izumo Upper Kingdom, with many Qiongtai pavilions inside, mountains and lakes everywhere, showing luxury. However, these things are nothing in the eyes of cultivators, such as the top-grade spirit stones in Lin Xiu's cuff, if they are used for mortal enjoyment, there will be more than ten Lu Mansions.

Zi Ning took Lin Xiu to meet the patriarch of the Lu family, that is, her father Lu Hui, at this moment, there were still a few dignitaries and friends in the city, and when they saw Lin Xiu enter the house, these people were all full of disdain.

Zi Ning introduced Lin Xiu, Lu Hui had already heard her daughter say that she didn't have any shelf at the moment, so she got up accordingly.

"Mr. Lin, thanks to your guidance, my daughter will have to suffer in the future, since you have the heart to enter my Lu Mansion, my whole family will respect you as a teacher. After Lu Hui finished speaking, he saluted again.

"Eh, Master Lu, Longcheng is mixed, why do you easily trust a beggar?" said a distinguished old man surnamed Liu next to him.

"Yes, I've seen a lot of these cunning people, and I spent a lot of time, don't you just want to have some relationship with people like us, if you are really afraid of indebting him, it is easy, give him a hundred or ten taels of silver and send him away, and treat this disheveled guy as a guest, Master Lu, I am afraid to say it and let others ...... Hehehe. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zining's stubborn temperament immediately surged into her face, but her father reached out to stop her. Lu Hui walked up to those dignitaries and said coldly: "Master Xu, you are wrong, I, Lu Hui, am not a person like you, Mr. Lin is my friend and my daughter's benefactor, you actually said insulting things to the old gentleman in front of me, aren't you afraid that something will happen to your family?"

Lu Hui is a man and his upright and righteous, Qi Xiuwei has also reached the stage of knotting, in the Izumo Upper Kingdom, he is a real master, and his fiery temper is even more famous.

When these people around heard that Master Lu was actually angry with him because of a beggar, they all looked panicked, they couldn't afford to provoke this great god, so they immediately got up and apologized again and again.

Lu Hui snorted coldly, "You are wrong, you should apologize to Mr. Lin, I said, I want to serve Mr. Lin as a teacher, that is to say, he is my elder, you ...... Do you know what to do?"

"Oh, respect the teacher again, the little rudeness, damn it, damn it......"

Lu Hui's words frightened those people into kneeling in front of Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu didn't look at these people at all, he just thought that Zi Ning's character seemed to be influenced by his father, and in Xiuzhen, people like the Lu family's father and daughter were really rare.

Subsequently, the Lu family specially vacated a courtyard for Lin Xiu to live, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of which were taken care of very properly, Lin Xiu was not polite, he knew that being polite to someone like Lu Hui had no good effect, but the Lu family treated him so well, Lin Xiu felt that he should still try his best to reciprocate.

So, in the next period of time, Lin Xiu often observed Lu Zining's cultivation and gave her a lot of suggestions and help, and more importantly, Lin Xiu mastered the refining methods of a large number of pills, he picked out the most effective ones, and handed over the recipe to Zining, after getting Lin Xiu's help, plus Zining's talent was good, in less than a year, she raised her realm to the fourth layer of the Qi Condensation Period. After Lu Hui knew about this, he even looked at Lin Xiugao, Lin Xiu couldn't help but help Zining cultivate, but all the people of the Lu family, as long as they encountered difficulties in cultivation, Lin Xiu proposed solutions to them one by one. After all, those images on the walls of the Mad God Temple made Lin Xiu aware of the bottlenecks and breakthroughs of various realms, and without cultivation, these memories were still in his mind.

In less than two years, Lin Xiu, an old man who was not good-looking, became one of the most important figures in the Lu Mansion, and he really became the teacher of all the cultivators in the Lu Mansion.

And Lin Xiu's only request for Lu Mansion is spirit stones, he needs to condense qi now, of course the best spirit stones are not needed, and for a big family like Lu Mansion, medium-grade spirit stones or high-grade spirit stones can be supplied in unlimited quantities, but every time Lin Xiu only takes a few pieces, Lu Hui is very embarrassed, how does he know that Lin Xiu's current body is really weak and pitiful, if there are too many spirit stones, it will hurt him.
