Chapter 115: Changes in the Black Sky Book (2-in-1)
A few days later, Xie Yuan brought a supply of weapons and made full preparations. According to the agreed time, he arrived outside Zhuangzi outside Lin Yuan in the south of the city.
Linjiazhuang is less than a mile away from the south gate of Yunzhao County. After leaving the city gate and following the rural road, you can see the huge house with an extremely large area in the distance, and the unseen area behind the house. The paddy fields at the end.
It’s spring plowing, it’s just dawn, and countless tenant farmers are bending down in the fields, in full swing; birds are chirping constantly on the trees on the roadside, and roosters can be heard crowing in the village. It’s the early spring season when all things are competing. scene.
At the broad entrance of Zhuangzi, there are two huge stone lions, showing the grandeur of the owner's house.
"If you are an ordinary martial artist, with my current level, it might be a clear path to find a local powerhouse to marry, rely on my father-in-law's resources to continue to practice martial arts, step by step to the state capital, study and practice martial arts."
Xie Yuan looked at the scene in Linjiazhuang and suddenly thought.
This path is not only a clear path, but also almost the only road for a hero like him who has no roots and no background.
I don’t know how many talented young people in ancient and modern times have made a name for themselves with their own talents. When faced with the olive branch of others, they are conceited about their talents and proud, and they are unwilling to bow their heads - they are not bowing their heads, they are just I don't want to put my head down flat.
However, no matter how talented you are, if you want to push forward, if there is no one to support you, you will always hit the ceiling. No matter how talented you are, you will hit the ceiling. Because there is always someone more talented and resourceful than you. By that time, my head was bleeding, and I suddenly realized that I had missed the opportunity. I could only say: It is too late to save trouble.
If the goal is extremely clear, being noble is not a bad thing; it's just that many people are only young and don't know what they are pursuing.
Those who can truly break the invisible barrier by themselves are geniuses among geniuses. There is no shortage of words to describe how rare they are. Most people should be aware of current affairs.
Xie Yuanruo is just a martial artist who has relied on his unique talent step by step from Xiaoshi Village to reach where he is now. The best choice is to catch the olive branch from Lin Yuanwai, Zhang Xiucai or some squire, and take advantage of the opportunity to rush forward Yunzhou Mansion will see if it can go further. No matter how bad it is, if you come back as a rich man, happy and safe, you can still go ashore. This is the strategy for stability.
However, Xie Yuan did not want to choose this way.
He is different, he has not relied on talent until now.
He relies on hard work.
Talent is limited, but Xie Yuan's efforts are unlimited, so his talent is also unlimited.
Ceiling? Doesn't exist.
This talent allows Xie Yuan to set his sights on the many mountains of martial arts.
Now that he has set foot on this road, he still wants to see the scenery from higher places.
From the dragon lurking in the abyss, to the flying dragon covering the sun, one day it will rise above Qingming.
Xie Yuan consciously came here not for a leisurely trip in the countryside.
So when Xie Yuan saw the fat man outside between the two big stone lions at the main entrance of Linjiazhuang, two paths seemed to appear in his mind, just like a fork in the road that determines the direction of the plot in the game.
He thought about it a lot, but without hesitation, he chose the one he should take.
Outside Lin is a plump, middle-aged man with a kind face. He opens his mouth and smiles:
"Hahaha, nephew Xie Xian, you're here too early! Haven't you had breakfast yet? Come inside and have a bowl of meat porridge first."
Xie Yuan dismounted and bowed his hands:
"You don't have to be polite, Lin. I'm fully prepared and ready to go at any time. I don't know if Lin Xiao Sister, are you ready?"
Lin rubbed the green gemstone on his thumb and said:
"No hurry, no rush! My nephew will go in first and take a rest. Take a look at the village, my daughter will be ready soon.”
He grabbed Xie Yuan's arm and was as affectionate as his uncle. He first led Xie Yuan to drink a cup of tea in the large main hall, and then walked around the village, which was bigger than the escort agency:
"Here It's a stable ... This is the kitchen... Next to it is Zhuangzi's private school. I thought that people still need to be literate, so I invited my husband to teach, and all the children of the surrounding tenant farmers could come. As a result, I got the title of a great benevolent person, haha..." < br>
Standing at the back door of Zhuangzi, Lin Yuanwai pointed to the thousand acres of fertile land and countless tenants, and said:
"In my Linjiazhuang, there has been no hungry person in the past three years. All the folks in the village are still hungry. Approval Me. And in the county town, I also have three silk and satin shops, all of which purchase goods from Yunzhou Prefecture, and the county magistrate often patronizes my business."
Xie Yuan nodded and said sincerely:
"Member Lin performs good deeds diligently and has a huge family fortune, which is admirable."
"Haha, I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it! Nephew Xie Xian is so young and accomplished in cultivation, he is admirable!"< br>
Lin Yuanwai smiled and said:
“ Actually, I have wanted to practice martial arts since I was a child, but unfortunately I don’t have the talent. My eldest son can only study, and he has just been admitted as a scholar, so he probably won’t be able to practice martial arts. The Lin family is loyal and has no problem looking after the house and nursing home. But my business is getting bigger and bigger, and no one in my family is good at martial arts, so I am still not sure. There are many strong people in this world, and martial arts are the most respected ones. If there is a Lin family member, even an uncle, as long as he has the qualifications to practice martial arts, I will definitely support him, even if I donate half of my family wealth and send it to that big sect, it will be no problem.
"Well, I'm familiar with several of Yunzhao's members from other places, and we also have some business in Yunzhou Mansion. If I want to, we can work together, and any big martial arts gym in the city will sell me a favor, so it won't cause any trouble."
Faced with Lin Yuanwai’s almost explicit words, Xie Yuan, who had already made up his mind, just politely handed over his hand:
“Thank you, Lin Yuanwai. It’s just that Xie Yuan is still young and is focused on practicing martial arts and has no other thoughts.” When Lin saw Xie Yuan’s unmoved expression outside, he seemed to admire and sigh:
“Young man. It’s a good thing to have high aspirations. Let’s go back and get ready. Haha, you and my daughter can communicate more.”
The two returned to the mansion, and when they approached the backyard, Xie Yuan stopped.
Lin Yuanwai went in naturally and saw several maids still waiting outside the door. He couldn't help but frown:
"Zhen'er hasn't packed up yet?"
"Master, The lady said it will be ready soon.”
Several maids quickly saluted.
Lin Yuwai was a little dissatisfied:
"This girl, why is it so slow? Hey, why didn't you go in to help?"
"The lady said she wanted to do it herself, and asked us to come out and wait..."
Lin Yuanwai shook his head:
“I don’t know what I’m thinking about.”
He walked out of the backyard, a little apologetically:
"Xie Xianxie, this girl Moji, could you please wait a little longer... Hey, Xianxian, what's the matter? Your face... is there anything uncomfortable? ”
Xie Yuan quickly put down his sleeves, his expression as usual:
"No. It doesn't matter. Lin Yuanwai, where did you just say the study room is? You said that Zhuangzi's layout is very particular, but I didn't quite understand it."
Lin Yuanwai saw Xie Yuan say this , seemed to be interested in Linjiazhuang again, his eyes lit up:
"Okay, I'll take you to take another look, take another look."
Xie Yuan followed Lin Yuanwai and wandered around the mansion with three entrances and five halls, changing scenery as he moved. However, Lin Yuanwai wanted to take a good look every time. After explaining the garden scenery or house decoration, Xie Yuan said to change the place.
Originally, I asked Xie Yuan to get acquainted with it, but in the end, he just browsed hastily, absent-mindedly, and quickly turned around and returned to the backyard.
Lin Yuanwai wiped the sweat from his forehead. Xie Yuan walked so fast that the fat and industrious Lin Yuanwai could not keep up:
"My dear nephew... my dear nephew, Is this Zhuangzi’s layout okay?”
"Well..."
Xie Yuan stared at the backyard, his eyes flashing slightly.
Layout? What layout.
He walked around, naturally not to see the layout.
The strange thing is that from the moment I entered the village, there seemed to be something wrong with me, but I didn't notice it at first.
Until he walked out of the backyard for the first time, Xie Yuan's arms suddenly felt hot.
He picked up his sleeve and took a look, and found that the black lotus petal mark that had never changed was actually flowing slowly!
This surprised Xie Yuan for a moment. He was proud of this mark. It has never changed. This is the first time it has changed.
He didn't know what happened, but found that the heat of the mark was different in different locations in the village. It wasn't until I walked around that I finally determined that the closer I got to the backyard, the more obvious the reaction was. The root seems to be here.
Xie Yuan was a little hesitant. He wanted to go in and take a look, but this was the backyard where the women of the Lin family village lived. Even if he really agreed to be the son-in-law of the Lin family, now was not the time to go in.
However, this mark has changed for the first time in such a long time. Xie Yuan will be very worried if he does not figure out the reason.
Think of a way...
While thinking, Xie Yuan suddenly paused and shook his arm subconsciously.
Feeling gone?
What is the reason...
Xie Yuan frowned and looked into the backyard again, only to see a girl in a lake blue dress suddenly walking out of it.
The girl is of medium to upper stature, quite slender, with a waist as slim as a willow branch. An oval face is very delicate, which makes people feel affectionate when looking at it.
With a round fan in her hand, she came out to see Xie Yuan. She slightly covered her face with the round fan and gave him a slight blessing as a courtesy.
Xie Yuan looked at the girl carefully and found nothing unusual, so he subconsciously commented:
"Better looking than Sister Lanhua.
"But far worse than Situ Qin..."
When Lin saw the girl coming out, he sighed:
"Girl, what's the matter? So long? "
"Dad, we are going so far and there are a lot of things, so naturally we have to take a while to pack them up. What are you urging..."
The girl whispered.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and have the boxes loaded into the car for you, so as not to miss the time. Let nephew Xie wait easily! Nephew, this is my daughter Lin Zhen, and I'm leaving it to you all the way!" ”
Lin Yuanwai handed Xie Yuan Gong his hand.
"Don't worry, Lin, I will bring Miss Lin safely to Yunzhao."
Lin Zhen glanced at Xie Yuan secretly, a light blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and she quickly moved away look.
When Lin saw this scene, he stroked his beard and smiled.
After a while, the servant loaded Lin Zhen's luggage into the carriage, followed by four guards and five coachmen, and set off with Xie Yuan.
This trip to Yunzhou Prefecture is a high-level official road with a lot of people. Generally speaking, there will be no problem. A few people will be enough. Last time Situ Qin led twenty people and was still intercepted and killed, but it was due to her own special reasons.
Before leaving, Xie Yuan sat on the horse and saluted Lin Yuanwai to say goodbye. However, Lin Yuanwai took a long knife from the servant's hand, pulled it out, showed it, and handed it to Xie Yuan:
"My dear nephew, come here, I have collected this long knife with great difficulty and kept it at home. It is easy to blow hair, break hair, and cut iron like clay. This sword is given to heroes, take it."
Xie Yuan took a look and saw that the sword had a cold light, gleaming Baosteel, and was extremely sharp. It was a rare sword, many grades higher than his own sword, and he quickly declined:
"Lin You have already paid the deposit to the escort agency, so I can’t accept any more gifts.”
“This is part of your reward as I agreed with escort chief Shen. "How can I rest assured if you don't have a sharp weapon to protect my daughter?"
Liu Yuan forcefully handed the knife to Xie Yuan, then let go, and deliberately made trouble with the chief escort. Xie Yuan had no choice but to accept it and saluted:
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Lin for his kindness. I will ask the chief escort to calculate the value of this knife later..."
"Don't say these polite words. There is no other meaning in giving this sword. Even if my nephew and my Lin family have no fate, you are just a talented person, young and accomplished, and you can afford this sword. I also want to swing the sword, but it Let me bury it. The sword is given to the hero, I only have these five words."
Lin waved his hand and said with a generous smile.
Xie Yuan's heart moved slightly, he stopped refusing, put the knife on his waist, and said goodbye to Lin Yuanwai seriously.
Except for Lin, there is a reason why the business is so big. Although he didn't practice martial arts, he spoke and acted with great pride.
He accepted this gift.
Seeing Lin Zhen's little head sticking out of the carriage window and waving vigorously at his father, he glanced into the house again, turned back, and fell into thought.
"What is there in the backyard that makes my mark hot? Now the feeling has disappeared again. Look at the panel, the Black Sky Book has not changed at all..."
He remained calm. He glanced at the carriage and thought:
"As soon as this Miss Lin came out, her fever disappeared. Could it be her fault?"
Xie Yuan slowed down his horse slightly and walked side by side with the carriage. , coughed slightly, and didn’t know where to start asking.
You can't directly ask "Hey, do you know why my arm is hot?" or "Girl, something is wrong with you"...
He thought for a while and said harmoniously:
"Ms. Lin, this Are you going to Yunzhou Mansion to visit relatives?”
“Yes. I have an aunt who lives in Yunzhou Mansion.”
The girl’s thin voice came from inside the carriage.
"Miss Lin and my aunt are very close?"
"My aunt often hugged me when I was a child..."
Xie Yuan got close to Lin Zhen without being salty, and walked around for a long time, slowly Slowly bring the topic to martial arts:
"Have Ms. Lin ever practiced martial arts?"
"None. My body is weak and I can't even practice basic moves."
>
"So... has Ms. Lin ever collected any precious foreign objects to support her health?"
"Baby foreign objects? No, I have taken a lot of prescriptions."
"Hmm ...Does Miss Lin have any strange objects in the courtyard? What kind of books? Pages, lotus petals and the like..."
"Guard Leader Xie, we just met for the first time. You asked me about my life experience and the decoration of my boudoir, which makes me feel embarrassed."
Hearing the carriage. There was a hint of embarrassment in Xie Yuan's voice, and Xie Yuan was a little embarrassed and had to shut up.
His conversation this time was like chatting with a goddess on WeChat. He asked and the other party answered, just like checking household registration, which finally made the other party impatient...
Xie Yuan couldn't help but feel a little too hasty, but he didn't blame him. , after all, the mark on his body has always been his worry.
While he was scratching his head and scratching his head, thinking about whether to continue asking or how to ask, he suddenly heard a sigh coming from the carriage and was startled.
This sigh seemed to be carrying a mountain on its back. It was not at all like the sigh of a wealthy lady who was happy and angry. It was in great contrast to the feeling of Lin Zhen talking just now.
What surprised him even more was that a voice came from the carriage again. Although the voice was a little or two similar to the one just now, the voice was completely different!
A voice as hoarse and tired as ice and snow reached Xie Yuan's ears:
"It's still here... Mr. Xie, wait until you see the opportunity, run as far as you can. Remember, remember."
What? What's coming?
Wait, this voice... seems a bit familiar?
Xie Yuan was puzzled when a slender jade hand suddenly stuck out from the window and grabbed his arm.
Xie Yuan suddenly felt that the mark on his left arm suddenly heated up, as if it was burning!
