Chapter 15: Night

When Lin Xin came here, he seemed to have forgotten what happened today. Thinking that Sister Huan'er actually had such a sad experience, how sad it was for her relatives to leave, he felt the same way.

Lin Xin comforted: "Sister Huan'er, don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, you should live well." ”

Poof, Huan'er suddenly laughed, as if he was laughing at him as a little adult, and then sighed: "It's been so many years, I've already seen these things clearly." I was the only one in the village who survived, and I don't know if it was my luck or misfortune. It's just a pity that I, an ordinary little woman, have no way to face such a blood feud. ”

Seeing her say this, Lin Xin suddenly felt a sense of pride: "Sister Huan'er, you don't have to worry, I will definitely avenge this hatred for you." After saying this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, according to Sister Huan'er, those people must be the top of the cultivators, and he found that he was just an ordinary person in today's coming-of-age ceremony. It is also unknown whether he will be able to cultivate the Tao of one of those people, how can he avenge Sister Huan'er?

Huan'er originally wanted to comfort Lin Xin with her own story, why is it that now that she is crying by herself, Young Master Lin Xin still doesn't get happy? She observed her words and looked at Lin Xin, and said to Lin Xin: "Young Master Lin Xin, do you think the death of our whole village is important in my heart?"

Lin Xin was stunned for a moment, and reacted: "Important, of course important, not to mention the death of so many people, but the death of parents is also extremely important." ”

"Since it's so important, what do you say I can do? Since I can't do anything, if I keep worrying about it in my heart, won't I be happy for the rest of my life, and live in hatred for the rest of my life?" Huan'er said what was in her heart. Then he asked Lin Xin: "Young Master Lin Xin, although I don't know what happened today to make you so unhappy, can it be bigger than losing your parents?"

Lin Xin has a comprehension, Sister Huan'er is still comforting me!

Yes, since it has happened, what else can I do but accept it? Besides, God has not completely broken my hope, but only let me have the cultivation talent of an ordinary person, what else can I ask for?

Thinking about this, Lin Xin's heart suddenly brightened. smiled at Huan'er and said, "Sister Huan'er, I figured it out, there are some things that cannot be forced, I will work hard in the future to fulfill my wishes." Not only do I want to find my own father, but I also want to avenge you!"

Huan'er saw that he was really sad, and was happy for him, and said with a smile on his face: "It's good that you can think like this, it's just that I don't need you to avenge my great revenge, as far as a mortal like me is concerned, if you want to find a cultivator to take revenge, this matter is comparable to ascending to the sky." I don't have any thoughts of revenge now. ”

Lin Xin didn't say anything anymore, but secretly made up his mind in his heart, I must cultivate to become a peerless master and do what I want to do.

Immediately, another question arose, and he asked, "Sister Huan'er, then why did you come to Shangguan's house again?"

Huan'er looked sad and replied: "At that time, I happened to come back from the town, and Aunt Wang from the neighboring village sent me back, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak up when I saw those wicked people killing our whole village. After they left, Aunt Wang took me into the village. It turned out that there was not a single living mouth left in the whole village, and I cried for a long time by the corpse of my father and mother. After that, Aunt Wang went to the government to report the case, and those officials were also shocked at first, and said that they would report to their superiors to strictly investigate the matter. When Aunt Wang told them that some cultivators had done it, they didn't speak, and the matter was over. At first, I was carried away by hatred, thinking that you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death can't even punish the bad guys. Speaking of this, she laughed self-deprecatingly, and then said, "Later, I asked around to find out what cultivators are and how powerful they are, but it's ridiculous that I still have a heart for revenge. ”

Lin Xin was sad about Huan'er's affairs and comforted her: "Some things are really undemanding!"

"Hey," Huan'er sighed: "The people in the village are all dead, and Aunt Wang originally planned to let me go to her house to live first, but I was so sad at that time that I didn't agree with her, so I was alone in the village." A few days later, a few people came to the village. said that it was a friend of the couple, and the two of them knew that they had affected the villagers, so they specially asked their friends to come and see what was going on. I told them what had happened, and they were furious but couldn't do anything about it. Seeing that I was the only one in the village, he brought me back. ”

Lin Xin realized: "Are the couple's friends from the Shangguan family?"

Well, Huan'er nodded and replied, "Naturally, it's from the Shangguan family." They apologized to me on behalf of the couple, saying that they had caused trouble to the people in the village. ”

"It's really wrong to involve others for no reason. Fortunately, they have a conscience to let people come back to see, but why didn't they come back themselves?" Lin Xin naturally didn't know, and then said to himself: "Could it be that they were killed by that group of cultivators?"

Huan'er said this and hooked up her past. Seeing that Lin Xin's mood had changed, he said: "Young Master Lin Xin, I don't know what happened to you today, but you must not be discouraged, only in this way can you come out of the shadows." ”

Lin Xin nodded when he heard this.

After the three of them left, the head of the family, Shangguan Lan, and several elders stayed in the cave. After seeing a few people leaving, the head of the family said to a few elders: "Hey, I originally planned to ask Lin Xin to drink ambergris and increase cultivation talent like Xue'er and them, but I didn't want this kind of thing to happen. Lin Xin's child is really unlucky, there is a dead position in his body. He sighed again.

Hearing this, the four elders expressed deep sympathy. The others didn't have much of an opinion either, after all, there was less contact.

The Great Elder smiled dryly and persuaded, "It is already a great favor for the family master to let him participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of my Shangguan family. This kind of thing is also his fate, you don't have to feel guilty. Among the tens of millions of people, there are very few people who are able to practice. After all, he is not a member of our Shangguan family, how can he be like us, and his descendants are geniuses. ”

"Yes, yes!" the second elder rarely spoke, and at this time he should also carry the Tao.

Hearing this, the head of the family didn't stop at this matter, and his tone changed: "Today is the rite of passage, and they will be able to start cultivating from tomorrow, I want to hear the opinions of a few elders on how many people practice the exercises." ”

Shangguan Lan said this, naturally she would not ask Shangguan Xue'er and Shangguan Minghao. I was asking a few elders what Lin Xin thought of cultivating the family exercises. The exercises are no more than ambergris and other treasures, this is the foundation of the family's cultivation, treasures are hard to find, and the best exercises are even more difficult to find. The Shangguan family can have a place in the Southern Regions, and it can't be without strong strength. Therefore, Shangguan Lan asked the elders for their opinions here, and they had already made concessions on the previous issue, and the elders had to agree on this. Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the four of them.

When Shangguan Lan said this, he was also a little hesitant in his heart. When Lin Xin's parents handed him over to Shangguan Lan, they repeatedly emphasized that he should not let him practice Taoism, just be an ordinary person. But he found that Lin Xin had a good moral character, and his family was also a cultivation family, so after weighing it again and again, he was determined to treat him as his own son, and he would also be the heir of the family in the future.

He also knew that Lin Xin remembered his parents, but if a person left his relatives at the age of five or six, it was not certain whether he would be able to have such strong emotions in ten or twenty years. He had made up his mind not to tell his parents about it.

Then again, people are not as good as heaven, how did he know that Lin Xin already had a plan in his heart.

Several elders listened to the words of the head of the family, you look at me, I look at you. Some of them didn't pay attention, and finally focused on the Great Elder. Of course, he knew what Shangguan Lan was thinking, and said after a deep sigh: "The exercises are the foundation of my Shangguan family, and they must not be passed on to outsiders. ”

Shangguan Lan's words were expected: "Of course, the family's exercises cannot be passed on to outsiders, but none of the three of them are outsiders. ”

Hearing this, the Great Elder's face suddenly became unhappy, and he snorted: "Why did Lin Xin become a member of my Shangguan family? ”

"Of course, I can't forget the rules of my ancestors, but the Great Elder must not forget that among the five of us, there are also people who are not my surname. But why is it that he and I have the same status in the family?" Shangguan Lan moved out of the fourth elder Li Shuyi, although he said that he was not a member of his own family, but the latter sentence cleverly said that he was no different from the others. In this way, not only did he not offend the four elders, but he also gave the great elder a trap.

"If you want to say that the fourth elder is clear, the fourth elder has been in my Shangguan family for decades and has made many contributions to the family. With that alone, what difference does it make with the surname?" the Great Elder was a little angry.

"The Great Elder said it well, I think when my ancestor set the rules, it was also for the sake of the family. The ultimate goal is to keep the family's secrets from outsiders, don't you say?"

The Great Elder nodded: "Of course!"

"The Great Elder also knows that Lin Xin is an orphan with no father and no mother, and he doesn't remember anything when he came to my Shangguan family, and now he has lived in my Shangguan family for many years and has already become a member of the family, how can he be regarded as an outsider?"

The Great Elder's face was ugly, and he snorted again: "The sea will eventually dry to the bottom, and people don't know their hearts when they die." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Lan knew that the Great Elder was doubting Lin Xin's character, and he had no basis for his words, which was a little difficult to do.
