Chapter 334 Past and present life, the end of Qingping
Pain,
Severe pain,
It goes deep into the bone marrow and hurts the heart.
Every breath was accompanied by needle-like pain, making him feel as if his life force was passing away little by little.
But he couldn't find any kind of comfort or way to relieve the pain around him, so he could only endure the deep suffering silently.
Lost in the darkness for a long time.
Apart from being at a loss at first, he gradually went from disappointment to despair, sinking into the cage of this abyss.
Unknowingly, he had a dream.
I dreamed that before I traveled back in time in my previous life, I worked overtime on time every day, from 9 to 9, no matter the wind or rain. I just hoped that I could save enough money at the age of 35, so that I could go back to my hometown, buy a house, go on a blind date, and live a normal life.
"Xiao Lin, come to my office later."
The chief engineer hurried past his work station, holding the documents without even looking at him. He simply said a few words. He knew that he would have a new job on his hands.
If you don't do well, your performance will be deducted. If you do well, the project bonus will be divided into one or two thousand. It means that the big head must be the chief engineer, minister, deputy minister, and section chiefs at all levels. When it comes to him as a wage earner, Here, only the bottom one is left.
"Lin Gong, the main engine factory called and wanted to communicate with you personally. There is something wrong with our product. It seems that the check valve in the air circuit control box is leaking. I am not sure whether it is due to the sealing or factory installation. Error, is it convenient for you to pick it up?”
The person who spoke was the new intern college student from the Technical Management Department, who was responsible for answering the phone and helping to print drawings. The girl was clean and beautiful, and she liked to get close to him often, asking questions and helping to pour water. Occasionally, she would sit in the company cafeteria to eat. Opposite him.
He nodded, put down what he was doing, and went over to answer the phone.
After some communication and video chat verification, the whole morning passed.
The office was empty, everyone had gone to the cafeteria to eat, and he was the only one who had just finished his work.
"Next year, I should have enough working experience. I will leave immediately after getting my professional title. I will switch jobs and go solo in Lin'an. I am still young, so I must seize the time to make money!"
He turned around and returned to his workstation. The three-dimensional model on the computer screen was connected to a series of functions he had set up. When modifying the size, he could influence the whole body and save the efficiency of later rework.
But just when he was about to continue working, those functions seemed to come to life and turned into small curved snakes, twisting and crawling around irregularly. They were densely copied and began to occupy his field of vision and lock him firmly. His eyes couldn't move.
His mind was stirred like paste, and he screamed out with a headache. He wanted to recognize the meaning of these little snakes, as if there was an inexplicable being who wanted to imprint something in his mind.
In a daze, he looked more and more familiar, and suddenly recalled part of his memory.
Could it be, what kind of ancient seal script is it?
Who is behind all this and what is it trying to tell me? ? ?
The loud shouting attracted people. At the stairs outside the office, a vague figure hurriedly ran over, holding a steaming lunch box in his hand. It seemed that it had just been packed from the canteen and was ready to be delivered to him.
"Lin Gong, Lin Gong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I'll take you to the hospital!"
Lin Shan grabbed her arm in a panic, trying to hold on to her, but he always felt that everything was like a mirror, a castle in the air, and he couldn't catch her, so he finally lost his grip.
"Plop~"
The chair fell backwards, and he hit his head hard on the ground, hitting the footrest of the desk, and crimson blood poured out and spread on the floor.
His vision gradually blurred, and he heard the girl's panicked shouting, and the responses from his colleagues at the stairs outside. Then there was the sound of a bunch of footsteps, rushing towards him, picking him up and running outside.
He didn't have time to think about anything at this time, he just kept stretching out his hand, trying to catch her.
……
"Whoosh!"
Scene change.
In the early morning, Lin's outer courtyard, martial arts square.
"In Qinghe County, apart from the government offices, our family is one of the leading wealthy families. You can practice without any worries, but once you grow up and leave the Lin family, you will face the intrigues, deceptions, and killings in the world. !
If you don’t study hard now, you won’t be able to do it in the future”
The coach gave a routine lecture in front of the stage, saying that if the young people don't work hard, the boss will be sad.
In the rows below, men and women from the outer courtyard of the Lin family stood, wearing uniform white training uniforms. They were all six-year-old children and had been pulled in for training in advance.
In the crowd, the two boys at the end were whispering.
Looking closely, one of them is quiet and dull, while the other is lively and lively.
The lively boy kept talking, chattering as if he had endless things to say.
"Lin Shan, guess what I found in the back mountain yesterday? A jade pendant, which made me feel warm when I put it on. I don't know who lost it but I picked it up!"
The other boy's face was expressionless, and he kept talking.
"Oh, really? Lin Fan, you are so lucky to have picked up such a high-end thing as a jade pendant."
Lin Fan was still young and innocent at this time, and his desire to show off was evident on his face.
"Hey, I'll give it to you when I get back, and you can try it on for a few days. It's really amazing!"
Lin Shan refused without thinking.
"No need, I don't dare to touch this thing. If the owner of the clan finds out, jumping into the Yellow River won't be able to clean it up. We are just unaccompanied orphans in the outer courtyard. If something happens, no one will stand up for us. From now on, we will not be able to clean it up." It will be difficult.”
Lin Fan was dumbfounded. He was a little at a loss as he was still young. He was stunned for a while before muttering in a low voice.
"Lin Shan, you weren't like this before. When we went to steal vegetables from the vegetable garden, steal chickens from the kitchen, pet dogs at the gate of the yard, climb trees to dig out bird's nests, and cook eggs, you ran faster than me! Why has it changed recently? So many”
Lin Shan's heart sank. He looked only six years old, but his body had been replaced by a soul that did not fit his age and did not belong to this world.
In the past, the original owner of this body followed Lin Fan and made mischief everywhere, always attracting attention, which was absolutely intolerable to the time traveler.
He needs to be quiet, low-key, and hold on steadily so that others don't notice that he has changed. The best way is to say less and do less. Talking too much will lead to mistakes.
No matter how good the relationship between the original owner of this body and the Lin Fan next to him was in the past, he could not continue to follow the high-profile publicity.
This kid is too out-of-the-box. Ordinary people can't handle playing with fire like this. Sooner or later something big will happen in the future!
Since I traveled through time and came to this world where I can practice martial arts, I have to work hard, develop in a low-key manner, and strive to become a generation of martial arts heroes in the future. Only when I get drunk on the knees of beautiful women and wake up to take over the world is my lofty ideal!
After the morning practice, the coach left and everyone dispersed.
As soon as Lin Shan returned to his small shabby room to wash up and wring out the towel, Lin Fan opened the door and barged in, shouting in surprise.
"Lin Shan! I just picked up some money on the road again. How about we go to the tea house and listen to a book. Last time, the storyteller happened to mention the rumors of the evil-fighting swordsmanship in the southern Xinjiang martial arts."
"Not going."
Lin Shan refused coldly. He had just traveled through time and had not adapted to this world. He was naturally defensive and would not open his heart to anyone. He also did not inherit all the emotions of the original owner and had no closeness to Lin Fan.
I just feel that this kid has been so flamboyant all day long, and in this feudal and low-martial world, he will be beaten to death sooner or later.
If you follow him, you will only be implicated.
Otherwise, how could the original owner die?
Lin Fan didn't understand why his best friend suddenly changed and acted like a stranger. His face turned red and he questioned him loudly.
"Lin Shan, what's happened to you recently? Why are you avoiding me everywhere!"
Lin Shan didn't look back. This body was only six years old. He could only step on the small bench and struggle to throw his towel onto the lanyard.
"Lin Fan, we don't want to interact with each other anymore. You and I can't have fun together."
"Why?"
Lin Fan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He and Lin Shan had been orphans in the outer courtyard since childhood. No one wanted to be with them, so they had always hugged each other for warmth. The two were inseparable. Why did they become like this these days?
"Lin Shan, what did I do wrong?!" "You are right."
Lin Shan got off the small bench, carried him under the bed, and pushed him in.
She turned her head and looked at him calmly.
"From now on, we will each do our own thing, work hard to practice martial arts, and strive to have a good future after we leave the house as adults. Now is not the time to play around. You go."
Tears welled up in Lin Fan's eyes, and his stomach was filled with grievances. He couldn't understand. Whenever he had something good, he would rush over to share it with his playmates. Why did he have to chase him away?
"Okay, this is what you said! I will go back and practice martial arts now to show you, and I will never come to you until I reach adulthood at the age of sixteen!"
"When the time comes, let's compete to see who does better!!!"
Lin Fan turned around stubbornly and ran out of the small hut angrily, trying not to let his tears fall.
Lin Shan remained expressionless. He was a time traveler and could not empathize with the original owner, so he would not be soft-hearted. He was just a little brat. He was already a young man in the 21st century, and he still played house with him all day long. ?
An adult soul cannot play with a child.
The strong are destined to be lonely.
I am a time traveler, I want to immerse myself in hard work, I want to be better than half the world!
Even if there is no such thing as the Saint's Heavy Eyes or the possession of an old man, he will definitely be able to shine in this world!
The premise is that I want to develop obscenely first!
……
So he developed obscenely for a full ten years.
ten years.
He did it wretchedly,
As for development
Sorry, I have been unable to carry Qi and blood for ten years, and I have struggled to even sense Qi. In the end, I am not even a warrior, and I am better than a half-hearted man!
"My martial arts talent is too poor."
Every night late at night, Lin Shan would look at the stars alone, thinking that it would be better to go back to his hometown in his previous life and quietly complete his life of marrying a wife and having children.
Nothing will be accomplished by traveling through time, so what’s the point of traveling through time?
Are you here to be a cow and a horse for the feudal society?
Not only was he incompetent, Lin Fan's qualifications didn't look very good either.
Since breaking off diplomatic relations with Lin Shan, Lin Fan has lost his only friend.
Loneliness will change a person's character.
Lin Fan has gradually become taciturn in the past ten years, no longer jumping around to stir up trouble. Like Lin Shan, he is low-key, quiet, and keeps to himself.
They are all orphans from the outer courtyard, and their cultivation has always been mediocre. No one in the family noticed them.
Until one day.
This is destined to be an extraordinary day.
The master's study.
In the evening, the dim sunlight streamed into the study through the window, shining on the young man's strong and handsome face.
In his hand, he held an antique scroll tightly and remained motionless.
"Picture of Mandarin Ducks Playing on the Spring River"!
Lin Shan, after traveling through ten years, unexpectedly found a way to activate the enhanced panel!
Gold fingers fall from the sky!
This strange opportunity arranged by fate, I don’t know who arranged it, just lying quietly in the study of the owner, waiting for him for ten years!
The opening gift package gave him a full 5 points of ancient charm. This is a number that cannot be surpassed by any antiques encountered in the future!
"What is ancient rhyme?"
The young man didn't know it at this time, but after absorbing it, he found that the precious painting slipped from his hand and fell to the ground into a pile of dust.
……
Late at night, outside the courtyard.
The lights were brightly lit all around, and the clan members were all gathered together, all of them inexplicably surprised.
How dare someone steal the clan leader's treasure? !
"Search the three of them all over their bodies and the places where they live. Don't miss every corner!"
Deacon Lin from the outer courtyard of the family ordered that the three people who had visited the study room during the day were immediately searched inside and outside.
Lin Shan was in a state of panic. Could it be that he had just turned on the golden finger and was about to be brought to justice and his middle path collapsed?
It's unexpected.
Neither he nor Lin Shu, another girl in the clan, found anything.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, actually hid a lot of pills, weapons, secret books, and even a box of banknotes under the cellar of his home!
They were all searched out by the clansmen!
Lin Shan couldn't believe it. This kid had just picked up copper plates, silver coins, and jade pendants since he was young. But when he got older, he started picking up pills, weapons, and secret books?
The key is to pick up all the banknotes? This is too outrageous!
If he continues to grow, what will he pick up next?
However, other tribesmen only thought that Lin Fan had stolen the painting early in the morning and found a place to sell it, and they all cast suspicious eyes on Lin Fan.
Faced with unanimous questioning by the tribesmen, Deacon Lin forcibly convicted him in an attempt to greedily possess these properties.
Lin Fan behaved calmly, standing in the midst of thousands of people, and quietly glanced at Lin Shan. When he saw that he had a troubled conscience there and didn't know how to deal with himself, he smiled slightly.
“I can’t hide it anymore after all.”
"Then stop pretending."
In an instant, a high-profile, confident, high-spirited, and holy temperament was exuded. This time, it was even more mixed with evil charm, arrogance, and arrogant expressions. That kind of arrogance was released after all these years of oppression!
The Lin Fan of old is back!
That night,
Deacon Lin was injured by a palm.
The head of the Lin family accepted Lin Fan into the inner wall.
The tribesmen were all excited and shocked.
Lin Shan escaped a disaster.
……
Since then, he suddenly awakened all his memories again.
He no longer lives in the body of this young man Lin Shan, but begins to overlook the entire timeline from a third-person perspective as a bystander.
That night, when the owner Lin Zhenyue closed the window and asked Lin Fan personally about "Spring River Playing Mandarin Ducks", Lin Fan directly admitted on the spot that he had sold the painting.
Lin Shan was removed from the whirlpool and the suspicion was eliminated.
Even when Lin's pawn shop got into serious trouble later, Lin Fan secretly helped him out in the clan's inner courtyard.
In fact, during the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, disciples from the outer courtyard were assigned to go out to make a living.
An unaccompanied orphan in Linshan District was allowed to be offered the position of "Escort Officer" by Iron Gongji Deacon Lin just because of a bribe of twenty taels of silver!
Little did they know that after the night of the "famous painting theft incident", Deacon Lin knelt down in front of Lin Fan the next day and apologized, becoming Lin Fan's loyal henchman.
Lin Shan's conscious shadow quietly witnessed all this, and was extremely shocked.
It turns out that when I was young, I passed by so many dangers because I had a good brother who always carried the burden for me!
He never asked why he did what he did or what the purpose of doing it was. He just trusted him completely, without expecting anything in return, and helped himself without any reservation.
He is a child of luck and doesn't care what little secrets he has!
Just because they were still young and children, the two supported each other and were inseparable. They formed a deep friendship through stealing together, digging out bird's nests, drinking tea, listening to books, and wearing a pair of pants!
No wonder Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, helped him out that night and went to Jiangdong to give him the "Five Elements Fan" in the name of killing Zen Master Xingtai. Later, when the righteous coalition forces attacked the headquarters of the East China Sea Demonic Path, he gave him the "Five Elements Fan" regardless of the risk of exposure. Deliver the message yourself!
"Lin Fan."
Only then did Lin Shan truly realize that he was not alone in this world. There was always a good brother who was silently helping him.
Unlike superficial brothers like Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu, Lin Fan is a biological brother of his own clan, with a blood connection, and the friendship established in childhood is unbreakable!
But then the scene changed, and he saw that after he left the house to make a living, a huge palm appeared in the sky above the Lin family compound, and it seemed that it was about to fall and level the entire Lin residence!
