At night, Lin Chen opened his eyes from the meditation, got up and opened the window to look at the sky, the distance was less than an hour, Lin Chen pushed open the door, and walked towards the "Ten Thousand Volumes Study" where Zhao Gongzi was, this half of the day, Miss Sun actually did not pull Zhao Run'er to bother her Qing Xiu, it seems that in this Zhao Mansion, even Miss Sun has to abide by the etiquette of knowledge and etiquette that women in the world should have, as if thinking of Miss Sun's depressed appearance, Lin Chen smiled lightly and walked out of the door.

"Ten Thousand Volumes Study" is not far from the wing room where Lin Chen is, with a separate courtyard in between, at this moment the moonlight is getting brighter, although the night sky is still filled with a layer of rain and clouds, but the rain that was originally blowing has slowly stopped, only occasionally a few points fall, Lin Chen strolls in this courtyard, the night breeze is blowing, faintly with a trace of fragrance, like a trail twisting and deep, roadside, grass and shrubs, all kinds of flowers, after bathing in wind and rain, stretching to the fullest.

On the side of the bluestone road, I saw a small flower trembling gently in the night wind, and a few delicate and clear rain and dew, on the white petals, crumbling, Lin Chen stopped, and he didn't realize that he was fascinated.

If it weren't for the appearance of the old man, I am afraid that he would have died in the small village in the northwest wilderness where his humanity is cold.

Suddenly, a faint and graceful sound of pipa came softly from the courtyard in front of me, accompanied by a lingering and moving singing:-

"Mandarin ducks and amphibious butterflies fly together, the garden is full of spring and makes people drunk, and quietly asks the holy monk, is her daughter beautiful...... What do you say about the king's power and wealth, what precepts and rules are you afraid of, I just wish that the world will last forever...... May we always be with us in this life......"

The sound of the pipa is elegant and beautiful, such as big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate, just like a pool of clear water, clear and clear, and like a gust of breeze on the lake on a summer night, which leads to relaxation and freshness in people's hearts, Lin Chen came back to his senses, and when the song was over, he walked towards the courtyard under curiosity, and only stepped into the courtyard door, only to hear a faint sigh:" Zhao Lang, our children have been difficult since childhood, Cai Chen is full of poetry and books, his body is weak, ten years of cold window high school champion, but he ended up like this, although Run'er seems carefree, but her temperament is extremely stubborn, remembering that she was six years old when she was seriously ill, fortunately we went to Lingyin Temple overnight to seek the blessing of the living Buddha's spirit talisman, and escaped a catastrophe, I still remember what the living Buddha said at the time, saying that Run'er's fate was bumpy, if there was no adventure, it was difficult to live past the age of seventeen, and now Run'er is more than sixteen years old...... Alas, it's really worrying, Zhao Lang, is it that the concubine did too many sins in her previous life, and now the retribution is on my hard-working children?"

At this time, a deep voice sounded: "Good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, my Zhao Zhenguo has been for the country and the people all my life, I am worthy of my heart, God bless my Zhao family, Zhang Xianchang is like a living Buddha, they are all living immortals in the world, don't think too much, madam." ”

Lin Chen was slightly stunned, the two people who talked in this courtyard were not Zhao Run'er's father, Zhao Zhenguo and Mrs. Zhao Li Wanrou, thinking of Mrs. Zhao's words, the living Buddha of Lingyin Temple is Linghui Zen Master, he asserted that Zhao Run'er could not live past the age of seventeen, that is not a lie, for Linghui Zen Master, Lin Chen's heart is not only admired, but there is also a faint sense of indescribable depression, as if there is a pair of invisible eyes watching him, Lin Chen is free by nature, and he is the most sensitive to this feeling of being bound and mastered"The Immeasurable Heavenly Prajna Maha Sutra" did not deliberately recall the practice.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chen still walked into the courtyard.

After Zhao Zhenguo and his wife were slightly surprised, Mrs. Zhao put down the pipa in her hand, blessed her body slightly, and said with a smile: "This must be Zhao Lang's praise-loving Xiao Langjun." ”

Lin Chen looked up, only to see Mrs. Zhao wearing a pale yellow cloud smoke shirt mopping the floor, her hair combed into a bun of smoke and hibiscus, and her eyebrows were lightly swept away, noble and elegant, although she had given birth to a pair of children, she could not see the slightest trace of time, but her face was slightly haggard, and her eyebrows were full of worry.

Lin Chen clenched his fists and said: "Madame has an overreputation, and I am planning to go to the "Ten Thousand Scrolls Study" to visit Ling Gongzi, and I am attracted by Madame's music and rhythm, and I take the liberty to visit, and I hope that the prince and Mrs. will not be surprised." ”

Zhao Zhenguo said with a smile: "Little brother doesn't need to be polite, the fairy chief said that the little brother is my son's destiny, and then he is my Zhao family's benefactor. ”

Lin Chen was slightly embarrassed, this half-immortal's tricky words, this Zhao Wang Ye was convinced, it seems that the awe of the people in the world for the things of this immortal family and ghosts can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he said at the moment: "Zhao Yuan's words are serious, and he is only entrusted by Miss Zhao to do his best." ”

Zhao Zhenguo heard Lin Chen call him "Zhao Yuanwai", his heart was even more happy, although the young man in front of him was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but he was handsome and handsome, and he was even more pampered in front of him, he read countless people, as a prince, he was not a person who judged people by his appearance, remembering that he saw the young man for the first time, he was shocked by his light and detached temperament, and his heart suddenly moved, and said: "What does the little brother think of me Run'er?"

Lin Chen was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Miss Zhao knows books and etiquette, and her music and rhythm are even more profound in the true biography of her wife. ”

Mrs. Zhao on the side heard her husband's words, first stunned, as if she knew what it meant, and then carefully looked at the young man in front of her, and when she heard the young man's words, she was immediately overjoyed, and it seemed that the more she looked at the young man with outstanding temperament in front of her, the more satisfied she was, and said with a smile: "It is also my blessing to be able to know Xiao Langjun." ”

Zhao Zhenguo pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, but Lin Chen, who suddenly looked at him, looked up at him meaningfully, interrupted his words, and said, "The time is almost here, so I have to rush to Zhang Xianchang's place, so as not to make a mistake, and retire first." ”

As he spoke, the young man who came suddenly seemed to be a little embarrassed and hurriedly left the courtyard.

Zhao Zhenguo and Li Wanrou glanced at each other, and after a long time, the prince of Zhao, who was admired by tens of thousands of people, suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "This young man has seen through my intentions from the words. ”

Li Wanrou looked at Lin Chen's back and said with a smile: "No wonder the concubine sees Run'er's unruly appearance today, you know, the world's fame, glory and wealth, with your promise, are all readily available, but this little Langjun is unmoved, it is really rare, much better than those who call themselves the talented people in Jiangnan." ”

Zhao Zhenguo shook his head, and said with a complicated expression: "Qingjin is a proud prince of the floating world, how can ordinary people do it, I heard Run'er say that he can call the wind and rain, it seems that this young man is not a person in my world, perhaps, as the living Buddha said, Run'er's adventure will fall on him." ”

※※※

Before coming to the "Ten Thousand Scrolls Study", I saw that Zhang Banxian and Xiao Mingruo had arrived here first, and the Zhang Banxian looked around first, and the doors, windows, and pavilions around the "Ten Thousand Volumes Study" were covered with yellow talisman paper, and Xiao Mingruo on the side was sitting on the stone table, eating the rock sugar gourd in his little hands with relish, while watching the old man busy with work.

Seeing Zhang Banxian, Lin Chen suddenly didn't get angry, and said angrily: "Hey, I said Old Man Zhang, you can cheat in the market, and dare to go to this Zhao Mansion to cheat, if I don't happen to arrive, you are not afraid that Zhao Wangye will treat you with the crime of bewitching the public, and you also think about whether it will affect Xiao Mingruo." ”

Zhang Banxian's old face suddenly turned red, he blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "Bastard, the old man has long been out of the world, and he has been hidden for many years, I think when I was in my prime, I Zhang Banxian's name is unknown to anyone in the immortal cultivation world, if it weren't for the five decays of heaven and man......"

Lin Chen didn't finish his words, but before he could hear the words, his heart moved, and he said curiously: "Cultivating the Immortal Realm?"

Zhang Banxian said angrily: "Don't pretend to be a stinky boy, don't think that if you rein in the true breath, the old man won't be able to detect the pressure on your body, if it weren't for the fact that you still have some ability, why did the old man leave you, there is a demonic anger here, and there is a strange resentment, don't tell me that you can't feel it." ”

Lin Chen was slightly stunned, it seems that this old man is really a person from the Xuanmen, he has already noticed the strangeness here, it is to order Miss Sun and Zhao Run'er not to let anyone get close to here, before he came here, he was still thinking about what excuse to use to get this old man in the way, and suddenly remembered what Lu Yuqing had said before, and secretly said: This old man is not like the "Tianhe Sword Sect", he is one of those third-rate cultivators of the Xuanmen who are mixed in the people, but how does he feel my pressure with such a humble Taoism?

At that moment, the young man couldn't help but ask in a daze, "Can you feel my pressure?"

"Are you serious, are you a fellow Daoist in the Xuanmen?" I saw that when the old man heard what he said, he suddenly looked back at him and asked in surprise.

After a while, I heard him say to himself: "But even if it is, how many Dao practices can there be at this age, let him see what the Dao of the Immortal Family is tonight." ”

Lin Chen suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, daring to love this old man pretending, chatting nonsense, just said casually, but he was in his words, but this old man looked like he was smiling but not smiling, and the young man was very puzzled in his heart, at this time, he only heard a sound of footsteps coming from a distance, and when he looked back, the people who came were Miss Sun and Zhao Run'er, as well as Zhao Zhenguo and his wife, looking at this side nervously in addition to those yellow talismans posted on the old road of the Ten Thousand Scrolls.

Suddenly, the old man suddenly looked up at the sky, coughed a few times, and said: "The time is coming, it is the time when the demon shows his true body, and the old man has laid a net of heaven and earth. The voice was not loud, but it happened to fall into the ears of everyone, looking at his appearance, he was already a Taoist fairy style, and suddenly, Miss Sun and several people were in awe, looking at him with an admiring look.

When his words fell, I saw that Mingruo girl, quickly finished eating the rock sugar gourd in her hand, threw the bamboo inch away, jumped off the stone table, clapped her little hands, Shi Shiran walked to Lao Dao's side, and then, the grandfather and grandson suddenly looked back at the young man behind them in unison.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes, strode forward and pushed open the door of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Study, and walked inside, while the old Taoist grandfather and grandson suddenly looked at each other and smiled, following behind Lin Chen.
