Chapter 299: Bodyguard
"Cousin, could it be that you came here today because you have any new ideas for the design of the puppet?" Lin Zhuowen smiled slightly, and asked without answering.
"Well, I have a couple of questions for my cousin. Liang Qian now has a completely consultative attitude towards Lin Zhuowen, what he admires most about this kind of technical nerd is Lin Zhuowen, who is technically stronger than himself, but then he changed his words: "However, today it is not that I am looking for my cousin, but that my master is looking for your cousin." β
"Your master, Elder Xu Houfeng?" Lin Zhuowen was a little surprised: "Why did your master suddenly summon me, shouldn't you tell your master about me?"
Although Lin Zhuowen has joined Tianjimen for more than three years, he has always been a low-key person, nesting in his own Huangye Peak one acre and three points of land, and never going out to provoke right and wrong, so he has seen very few outsiders, Liang Qian's master, although Lin Zhuowen has heard the name many times, but he has never seen it, I don't know how he suddenly summoned himself, except for his appearance in the puppet technique of the organ that attracted his attention, Lin Zhuowen really couldn't think of more possibilities, as for how Xu Houfeng knew, naturally there was only this Liang Qian in front of him, Liang Qian's brain was all spent on the puppetry, and other aspects were very sloppy, and it was very possible to say that he had leaked his mouthγ
"Of course not!" Liang Qian immediately denied it, and then changed his words: "Well, I mentioned you a few times in front of Master, but I never said anything about your puppetry. β
Although Liang Qian swore to promise, Lin Zhuowen didn't believe it so much, after all, with Liang Qian's careless temperament, even if he said that he leaked his mouth, he probably wouldn't be aware of it. However, although this puppet technique is a little peculiar, there is nothing to worry about, they can't know that the puppet design software in their computer has been discovered, at most, they think that they are talented, and they have lost some clean days since then.
And the other party is the Jindan elder in the door, the elders call each other, Lin Zhuowen, as a junior in the door, it is impossible not to go, so he had to clean up at the moment, and then went out of the cave and flew towards Jingliang Peak where Xu Houfeng was located with Liang Qian.
Lin Zhuowen is still the first time to come to Jingliangfeng. I have to say that the scenery here lives up to the name. Or maybe the person who took this name at the beginning was also because he saw the scenery here, what pines and cypresses, what waterfalls and springs, and what green water surrounds the forest. What fish play at the bottom of the pool. These are the few names that Lin Zhuowen can make up. There are countless of those who are beautiful but can't tell why.
Lin Zhuowen had the heart to think of a small poem to meet the occasion, and searched his intestines, but found that the little ink he drank in his stomach when he was reading had already been digested cleanly, and he didn't even leave a slag for himself. I had no choice but to give up, and I thought to myself that if I put it in the world before I crossed it, this place would definitely become a tourist attraction.
On the way, Lin Zhuowen also saw two of Liang Qian's senior brothers, but these two people, as disciples with a teacher's inheritance, didn't seem to be very interested in ordinary inner disciples like Lin Zhuowen, when Liang Qian introduced, the two just nodded casually and counted it over, Liang Qian, a guy who was so dull to the point of rust, didn't see the disdain in the eyes of the two at all, and said that these two senior brothers had such a good character, Lin Zhuowen could only smile bitterly, and he didn't take it to heart, just two passers-by who didn't even bother to remember their names, and they didn't care what he didγ
Liang Qian led Lin Zhuowen all the way to Xu Houfeng's cave, and after he went in to report, he led Lin Zhuowen in.
"You are Liang Qian's cousin Chen Ze?" There was a person sitting in the cave mansion, and when he saw Lin Zhuowen coming in, he asked.
It seems that this is Liang Qian's master Xu Houfeng, I don't know if he has practiced any rejuvenation exercises, he looks like he is only less than thirty years old, his appearance is ordinary, and there is nothing special about it, if it weren't for his Jindan period cultivation, the whole thing would be an ordinary young man, or the kind of public face that can't be found if you lose it in the crowd.
"I've seen Elder Xu, and the junior is Chen Ze. Lin Zhuowen bowed respectfully.
"Well, cultivation is not bad, I heard Liang Qian say that your spiritual root is not outstanding, and you are from a casual cultivation background, it is very rare to be able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building at a young age, you must be very hard to cultivate on weekdays, right?" Xu Houfeng swept his gaze back and forth on Lin Zhuowen, and nodded slightly.
"The elder praised it falsely, and the junior was just lucky to have some chances. Lin Zhuowen said vaguely and modestly, and then asked: "I don't know what the elders have to tell the juniors to summon the juniors? If there is anything that the juniors can serve, although the seniors say it bluntly, the juniors will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!"
Lin Zhuowen knew that Xu Houfeng summoned him, naturally not to praise him for his hard work, rather than waiting for him to speak, it was better to take the initiative himself, and Lin Zhuowen thought clearly, if Xu Houfeng really wanted to let him do something, he couldn't shirk it even if he wanted to, it was better to simply say it beautifully, and he could get a positive impression.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Since Lin Zhuowen took the initiative to lead the topic to this, Xu Houfeng also followed: "It's the Patriarch Han in the door who successfully advanced to the Flying Ascension Stage a few days ago......
"Ancestor Han has already succeeded in attacking the Ascension Stage, why didn't you hear the news before?" Liang Qian heard this, and immediately interjected in surprise.
In fact, Lin Zhuowen was also surprised when he heard the news, but because of his identity, he didn't say much, but Liang Qian asked for himself, in the past few days after the aura vortex disappeared, there has been no news released in the door, and everyone privately guessed that it was only because that Ancestor Han had failed to impact the ascension period, that is, Lin Zhuowen thought the same.
"Patriarch Han is still in retreat, we don't know the specific situation, this is still the news that came out of his old man yesterday, it's just that Patriarch Han has just advanced successfully, and his realm is not yet stable, so he still needs to continue to retreat for a period of time to consolidate his cultivation. Xu Houfeng seemed to be very fond of Liang Qian, and he was not the slightest unhappy when he interrupted him, but explained to him with a smile.
"I see. Liang Qian nodded, and then his mind brightened again: "Master, you have something to do with your cousin, is it related to Ancestor Han?"
"Hehe, it's indeed related to Ancestor Han, but this time it's not just about him, it's about the two of you. Becoming a Ascending Monk is a big deal no matter where you put it, so the door plans to hold an Ascension Ceremony to celebrate. Xu Houfeng paused for a moment and continued: "I summoned you this time to let you send invitations......
"Send invitations, doesn't Master use all of them now? Wouldn't it be okay to ask someone to call him directly?" Liang Qian asked puzzledly: "Moreover, even if you really want to send invitations, this kind of errand thing, why don't you just find a few outer disciples to do it?" If I have this time, I might as well study my puppet technique more." β
"Alas, you-" Xu Houfeng seemed to be helpless about Liang Qian's thinking, and sighed and said: " With the status of our Tianji Gate, those ordinary immortal cultivators can naturally make a phone call casually, but when we meet those big factions and high monks, if we just call the invitation, it will be too hasty, or it is more appropriate to send the invitation to the door, as for you said to let the outer disciples to send, this is not suitable, the people who want to send the invitation are some major sects and great monks, send the outer disciples of the Qi training period, and it is naturally nothing to meet a large belly, but if you meet those monks with strange tempers, I am afraid that we will think that our Tianji Gate despises them, and if we are Jindan monks to send, although it seems to be important, but it has fallen into the reputation of Tianjimen, so after thinking about it, it is better to arrange for the inner disciples to send it, especially those of you who have a teacher's inheritance, if you ask, report the name of the master, and when it comes to the cultivation of the teacher, how many people in the immortal cultivation world have heard of each other, so that even if someone has an idea in their hearts, they will not say anything for the sake of the master's face. β
Lin Zhuowen can naturally figure out these things, the reason why Xu Houfeng got so much detail was completely for Liang Qian, but he obviously overestimated Liang Qian's ability to understand.
"It's so complicated......" Liang Qian didn't understand, according to his thinking, he couldn't understand why something that was just a sentence was so complicated.
"Forget it, you don't need to care about the twists and turns here, you just need to understand that you and Chen Ze are going out to send a few invitations. Xu Houfeng also seemed to be helpless about his precious apprentice.
"Then in that case, why do you want my cousin to go with me, can't I just run alone?" Liang Qian asked rhetorically.
"Liang Qian, you have joined the Tianji Gate since you were a child, and you have been obsessed with puppeteers since you started, and you have little attention to other things, so you are very weak in human affairs, although this is just an errand task to send invitations, but it is not a kind of exercise for you. Xu Houfeng said here, and then changed his words and said: "However, I am really not at ease when you go on the road alone, so I ask Chen Ze to accompany you on a trip, Chen Ze is from a scattered cultivation background, and he is a seasoned person, and you are cousins, so I can worry less about him with me." β
Lin Zhuowen realized that he didn't get his two errands, and he was purely brought in to serve as a bodyguard for Liang Qian.
"Master, you look down on me too much, I'm also an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, how can I be like a child, and I have to take it with me when I go out?" Liang Qian said with some dissatisfaction, he is also not young, but he doesn't want to be treated as a child.
"You don't need to say more, this matter is decided, here is the invitation to send and the information of the person receiving the card, all in one direction, you don't have to take any detours all the way. Xu Houfeng said that he took out a jade slip and a few gilded invitations that exuded a little spiritual power, and then said: "If there is nothing else, you can pack up and go, go early and return early." β
From beginning to end, Xu Houfeng didn't ask Lin Zhuowen's opinion, and Lin Zhuowen could only smile helplessly in his heart, the weak in the immortal cultivation world really have no right to speak.
Since the master said so, Liang Qian had no choice but to retreat with Lin Zhuowen.
Lin Zhuowen was just about to walk out of the cave, but a voice suddenly came from his ears, this voice sounded directly in his ears, but someone was transmitting the sound to himself. (To be continued......)
