Chapter Twenty-Three: The Year of Chaoying and the South China Sea Shenni
Yin Zhiping put his sword into the sheath, looked at Lin Zhiling, and asked, "Have you heard the name Lin Chaoying?"
Lin Zhiling's eyes widened even more when she heard this, and she couldn't help but raise her voice in surprise: "Of course I have heard it, this is my aunt and grandmother, and our Lin family's martial arts are passed down from her." ”
Yin Zhiping smiled slightly when he heard this, and secretly said that his inference was indeed correct. Lin Zhiling called Lin Chaoying "aunt and grandmother", then Lin Zhiling should be the granddaughter of Lin Chaoying's brother or younger brother. Judging from the age gap between the two, Lin Chaoying can indeed be counted as Lin Zhiling's grandmother.
Lin Zhiling said, and asked Yin Zhiping with excitement on her face: "I don't know what the relationship between Daoist Yin and my aunt and grandmother is, and where did you learn the swordsmanship you just made?"
Yin Zhiping said: "I actually have nothing to do with Lin Chaoying's predecessors, but my ancestor Chongyang Zhenren has something to do with Lin seniors. After that, after considering the following words, he briefly told Lin Zhiling about the events between Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying, as well as the entanglement between the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Yin Zhiping said later: "Because our two factions have some hostile relations, we also have a lot of research on the martial arts of the Tomb Sect, so I will make a few moves with this swordsmanship." ”
He and Lin Zhiling have only met three times so far, and their relationship is far from close to the level of talking about everything. As for his jade girl swordsmanship, he actually learned it from Li Mochou, as well as his relationship with Li Mochou, so he naturally didn't talk about it with Lin Zhiling, so he found such an excuse to fool the past.
However, Lin Zhiling listened to Yin Zhiping's narration at this time, but she didn't have the heart to care about such subsections anymore, but was all attracted by Lin Chaoying's deeds back then and the ancient tomb school he founded. After listening. sighed: "It turns out that after my aunt and grandmother left home, she left another inheritance. It's just that they have had no contact with our Lin family for decades. Don't know each other. ”
After that, he sighed again. continued: "When her old man never returned, her great-grandfather and grandfather only said that she had an accident while walking the rivers and lakes or had been resentful and refused to go home, but she was hurt by love and died depressed. ”
Yin Zhiping heard her say that Lin Chaoying may have "resentment" towards her family back then, and guessed that Lin Chaoying should have caused some dispute and discord with her family when she left home, and asked: "I don't know why Lin Chaoying left home back then?"
Lin Zhiling sighed again and said, "It's a long story. ”
Yin Zhiping smiled and said, "Then let's start from the beginning slowly!" After that, he took off his robe and sat on the roof tiles. put on a posture of a long talk all night.
Lin Zhiling was stunned for a moment, then smiled, walked over and sat down side by side with Yin Zhiping one step away, put the sword in her hand on the roof tiles, and then wrapped her arms around her knees, looked up at a crescent moon in the sky, and began to tell Yin Zhiping about Lin Chaoying's early experience as far as she knew.
"I don't know a lot about my aunt and grandmother, but I heard it all from my grandfather. My grandfather was my aunt's brother. Famous. ”
"Before my aunt and grandmother, our Lin family was a family of scholars for generations. For several generations of ancestors, no one has ever learned martial arts, let alone a person in the rivers and lakes. Our Lin family lives in Ruian. When my aunt was six years old, she went with my great-grandmother to the temple outside the city to offer incense and ask for a child, before my grandfather was born. On the way, they met a nun dressed in white. When the nun saw her aunt and grandmother, she immediately stepped forward and asked to take her as an apprentice. ”
"At that time, my great-grandmother had only one daughter under her knees. Ren Na Nun said that there are thousands of benefits, all kinds of fate. It's just not allowed. When the nun saw that she didn't move, she finally took her aunt and grandmother away. The nun was very capable, and there were only a few rough fists and kicks with her attendants, and she was no match for her at all, and she couldn't catch up with her afterwards, and there was no trace of her. The great-grandfather and great-grandmother only said that the daughter was lost and was forcibly taken to be a sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, ten years later, a beautiful girl who was twenty-eight years old suddenly came to the door and said that she was the daughter of the captivity. The woman had her aunt's belongings, and her great-grandmother had a birthmark on her body, which was also the same, and she was immediately confirmed and rejoiced. ”
When her great-grandfather and great-grandmother asked her about the past ten years, her aunt and grandmother said that she had been taken as a disciple by a nun when she was taken captive by a nun. Soon, he went to sea with the nuns, and for ten years he was only practicing martial arts with the nuns on an isolated island in the South China Sea. Until a month ago, Fang was told by a nun that she had succeeded in her studies and could go home to visit relatives. ”
"South China Sea?" Yin Zhiping couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, interrupting Lin Zhiling's narration and asking, "I don't know what the name of that nun is?"
Lin Zhiling shook her head and said: "What is the name of the nun and what is the name of the nun, what is the name of the person, although my aunt and grandmother worship her as a teacher and have studied art with her for ten years, but I don't know anything, I only know that some people in Lu Dao call her 'Nanhai Shenni'." ”
"Nanhai Shenni, I'll go, there really is such a person!" Yin Zhiping couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
Yin Zhiping was surprised in his heart, the big waves were monstrous, but nothing was revealed on his face. Lin Zhiling didn't notice it, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Grandma said that the South China Sea Shenni not only has amazing martial arts, but also is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and divination, etc., and is a rare strange person in the world. ”
She returned with Nanhai Shenni to learn all her skills, and the family was very happy at first. My aunt and grandmother also wanted to teach my younger brother, my grandfather, the martial arts she had learned, so that he could be physically fit and not be bullied. ”
"But my Lin family is a scholarly family for generations, emphasizing literature over martial arts, and my great-grandfather is even more ashamed of practicing martial arts. After a long time, my great-grandfather was quite displeased with my aunt's grandmother's dancing and sword dancing all day after returning home. Not only was my aunt not allowed to teach her martial arts to my grandfather, but my aunt and grandmother were not allowed to practice martial arts again, and she was asked to destroy all her blades. My aunt and grandmother have been practicing martial arts for many years, and they know the benefits of practicing martial arts, so they refuse to listen. But in order not to disobey his father's orders, he put away all his blades, and no longer practiced martial arts openly, but only practiced every day when no one was around. ”
"My aunt and grandmother have long since reached the age of marriage, but she has just returned home, and her great-grandfather and great-grandmother want to be reunited with her. But after more than a year, seeing that she was getting older, she couldn't delay it any longer, so her great-grandfather and great-grandmother took the initiative to tell her the right family affairs. The man is also a scholarly family for generations, not only looks like a talent, but also has a high school jinshi, this marriage can be said to be a very good match. But unexpectedly, my aunt and grandmother were unwilling and unwilling in every way, and finally they were forced to leave home in anger, leaving only a letter from home. ”
When Lin Zhiling said this, she sighed again and continued: "When my great-grandfather saw that my aunt and grandmother had run away from marriage, he was furious and sent people to search for her and arrest her back. But my aunt and grandmother had already learned to be a body of their own, but where would they be caught, and they never returned. It wasn't until a few months later that she sent a personal maid who had gone with her that day to bring back a letter, as well as a martial arts secret book she had recorded based on her own martial arts. Occasionally, letters returned, but after a few years, they were never heard from again. The family was unable to search, so the matter was over. ”
With that, he sighed again. (To be continued......)
