"Oh? There is such a thing?"
Lin Shan touched his chin and leaned on the wicker chair in deep thought. The two Nascent Soul stage monks next to him licked their faces and looked at him eagerly.
These two people were also discerning when seeking help. They did not go to anyone else, but came to Lin Shan specifically because they had witnessed the brutal beating of Zhong Shenxiu, so they believed in his strength.
In addition, Zhong Shenxiu has been gaining prestige in the Confucian sect for a long time. He would probably wear a pair of trousers when looking for others. The only one present was Master Lin, who did not have a Confucian background.
"I don't know what to call you two?"
"Old Man Ruan Gu Tongsou."
"The poor Taoist seal seal."
Lin Shan closed his eyes and snorted lightly.
"Say your real name!"
"Well, I'm Yu Qinghan."
"Uh, I'm Geng. Right."
The young boy subconsciously corrected:
"Fart, you are called Geng Buzheng!"
The crooked-necked middle-aged man was so angry that he jumped all of a sudden and turned red-headed and pale-faced with anxiety.
"My name is Geng Zheng! How many times have I said it, but I changed my name last year!"
"Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, I'm used to it."
The young boy quickly apologized. They had been friends for hundreds of years and had been talking casually for so long. It was really difficult to change things.
Lin Shan nodded and asked about their origins.
I am especially concerned about why Yu Qinghan looks like a boy, and why is Geng Buzheng's neck still crooked despite his Nascent Soul stage?
The two men sighed, one complained that his practice went wrong, and the other lamented that he had gone too far.
It turns out that when they were young, they were all casual cultivators. They didn't know anything when they first entered the world of cultivation. In addition, without the guidance of a famous teacher, they could only practice cultivation groping and trial and error.
Yu Qinghan was originally a handsome young man. Because he was more concerned about his appearance, he often bought the 'beautiful pill' with the spiritual stones he earned!
In the world of cultivation, it can be said that most of the medical beauty products such as beauty elixirs are produced by Sanwu small workshops.
As we all know, small workshops are very good at cutting materials!
I dare to cram all kinds of technology and hard work into it. Are you afraid of it?
Yu Qinghan didn't understand at that time. He was poor and couldn't afford the big and well-known time-honored brands in the world of cultivation, so he could only buy some cheap brand-name goods and eat them all the time.
Later, because he took too many medicines, his body's qi, blood, and essence were disordered, causing his organs to age and fail. Miraculously, his appearance rejuvenated!
According to his own words, after trying all the beauty pills on the market, there is always one that is truly effective.
It's a pity that I took too many fake medicines, which has led to me being nondescript now.
Geng Buzheng was born with a crooked neck.
His parents were poor farmers, uneducated, illiterate, and had a sloppy personality. The name he chose made him even more crooked!
Later, when he entered the path of immortality, he cultivated haphazardly and often went crazy. His meridians changed paths and acupuncture points shifted at every turn.
As a result, he gradually finalized his shape and couldn't break his neck back even if he tried to break it.
Lu Luo was stunned when she heard this!
You two are really big-hearted. One of you took drugs randomly and made yourself rejuvenated, while the other kept going crazy and was still alive!
The key is to both achieve the Nascent Soul stage. What kind of luck is this?
The ancestors Yingrong, Chengqing, and the Plum Blossom Empress beside them also shook their heads and sighed, knowing full well the hardships of growing up as casual cultivators.
These two people can only speak of individual cases in the vast sea of people!
The vast majority of casual cultivators who messed around like this would have died long ago.
The success of the two of them is certainly the result of talent and hard work, but luck must be an extremely important part!
Lin Shan couldn't help but observe the luck above the two of them.
There was a small elephant lying on Geng Buzheng's head, holding his nose and spraying water. The water sprayed about ten feet high, which was also the luck height of a normal Nascent Soul monk.
Yu Qinghan was slightly stronger than him. There was a leopard sitting on his head, with yellow areolas rising up one after another, a little taller than twelve feet.
He knew in his heart that without a great opportunity, the potential of the two of them might stop here.
This will probably be the case in this life!
Of course, things are not absolute, and luck is also fluid and changing. You can’t say what will happen in the future, but at least it won’t change for now.
If Lin Shan was asked to tell people's fortunes, he could barely make a prediction through the Luck Pillar, but he couldn't guarantee whether it would be accurate or not.
At this time, he happened to turn his head and saw Zhong Shenxiu at the table next to him, staring hard at this side.
Especially when they saw the two people running to Lin Shan, their expressions were very ugly.
"What, second brother, are you going to cover them two?"
Lin Shan didn't answer. He was not a charity man. These two people didn't hand over any certificates of surrender. What was he doing to protect them?
Geng Buzheng and Yu Qinghan were very sensible, so they immediately petitioned and voluntarily applied to join Lujiang Academy to teach and educate people!
The people nearby were shocked and looked over.
Zhong Shenxiu was even more stunned. Is this possible?
My second brother didn't do anything, so the two Nascent Soul stage monks got along well with each other. Was it because I forced him to come? ? ?
He didn't like his brother in the first place, but as a result, his brother got better and better. He stepped on him first and then recruited his opponents. It was even more uncomfortable than killing him!
"You two are just two crooked melons and jujubes. You have learned something from the East and a stick from the West. You have no system, and you still teach and educate people?"
"Ang~~"
When Geng Buzheng and Yu Qinghan received Lin Shan's nod of approval, they immediately raised their chins proudly and straightened their backs facing Zhong Shenxiu.
Ancestor Ying Rong secretly sent a message to remind Lin Shan to think twice before doing anything.
"Master Lin, the three of you from Lujiang League and the four of us from Jingyang Academy are no match for White Deer Academy."
"The previous conflict between you and Zhong Shenxiu can be attributed to a dispute of temperament. If he only wanted to save face, he would not make the matter a big deal and limit it to personal grudges."
"But now that you openly take in these two casual cultivators, it is equivalent to a slap in the face. I am afraid that he will be targeted by the other party's forces. It is equivalent to giving them a reason."
"It's best to consider this matter in the long term, rather than being hot-headed and arbitrary."
Ancestor Yingrong was obviously a kind reminder. She knew that Linshan's power had just begun and was far inferior to the behemoth White Deer Academy. It was best to develop slowly at first and was not suitable for direct confrontation.
Moreover, these two Nascent Soul stage casual cultivators are both snake and rat, their behavior is shabby, and their character has not been considered. Recruiting them may not necessarily add to their contribution, but may only increase their burden!
Zhong Shenxiu also spoke.
"Second brother, you have to think carefully! These two people took advantage of others' danger and attacked me when they saw that I was seriously injured. This is a big revenge! If you invite them in today, they will be my enemies at White Deer Academy! In the future"< br>
"Okay, third brother, why are you so whiny like a bitch?"
Lin Shan leaned back on the chair, squinting his eyes, not caring about choking him. "What you have to consider is not who you want to avenge, but whether it will bring trouble to your White Deer Academy!"
"Young man, don't be an enemy easily. First, weigh yourself."
"Your second brother and I dare to kill even the late Nascent Soul, so what does it mean to take in two casual cultivators?"
"If you are not convinced, go back and ask your ancestor first to see if he is willing to become my enemy just because of such a stupid thing!"
Zhong Shenxiu's tone was stagnant and he was speechless on the spot.
I felt a chill in my forehead, and then I realized that my second brother was no longer the brat that he and his eldest brother roamed around the cliffs and forbidden areas in the past!
Not long ago, he had just beheaded the late Nascent Soul, and was famous in the world of cultivation. He was widely feared by the older generation, so he should not be easily manipulated!
Just because he wants to be hostile to him on behalf of White Deer Academy, others may not agree!
Sure enough, several Nascent Soul Lords from the academy sect nearby sent messages to persuade him to calm down.
Lujiang League + Jingyang Academy, the combined power of the two is not small, so it is not advisable to start the war lightly. It is better to consider the long term and not to be hot-headed and arbitrary.
This rhetoric is exactly the same as that of Patriarch Ying Rong!
But the difference is that Lin Shan has his own confidence, and he also makes the decision for the Lujiang League. Zhong Shenxiu also has to take care of Bailu Academy, and consult his ancestors for instructions on all major matters after returning home.
After thinking about it, he endured it.
He glared at the two of them fiercely, and finally turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind, and secretly vowed that when he finds the opportunity, he must make these two look good!
And my annoying second brother must take back all the grievances he has suffered!
When Geng Buzheng and Yu Qinghan saw Zhong Shenxiu's incompetent and furious look, their hearts finally fell. They had indeed made the wrong bet!
He immediately complimented Lin Shan, as if he had truly become his follower.
"It's just a small matter. I know you two are used to it and don't like to be restrained. From now on, you can come to Lujiang Academy to teach for a full period of time every semester. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the time."
Lin Shan's words did not mean to restrict their freedom, but he unknowingly set rules for them.
The two of them were naturally sensible and nodded repeatedly, claiming that the Nascent Soul Ceremony was over and immediately rushed to Northwest Shandong to accept the teaching task of the academy.
"Also, be careful in your actions in the future. Don't use my name to make mistakes like the third brother. That's it."
Everyone in power did not want their subordinates to cause trouble for them. The two knew that Lin Shan was trying to beat them, and they kept making promises.
After a while, the leading young man from Taixuan Holy Land came over.
After first going to White Deer Academy to communicate with Zhong Shenxiu, he then came to Linshan to get to know each other and exchange greetings.
Lin Shan kept in mind the warning of King Xuli and treated Taixuan Holy Land very seriously. He did not want to make enemies with it, nor did he make too many friends with it.
The young man also had no intention of getting to know him in depth. He just got to know him briefly, then stood up and left, showing a very measured manner, completely different from his previous arrogant behavior.
After the ceremony lasted for a whole day, it finally came to an end.
In order to represent the Kong family, release goodwill to the entire Lu Kingdom cultivation world, and cultivate and expand his personality charm, Kong Kai had to personally step down from the stage and drink wine one by one.
I met with all the forces, which deepened my impression and gained a grasp of the situation in the world of cultivation.
Late at night, all the guests dispersed.
Lin Shan was invited to the inner hall of the Confucius family. The ancestor of the Confucius family personally entertained him, accompanied by Kong Kai. The candlelight was bright and dim, the atmosphere was warm and gentle, and the incense of bamboo and sandalwood was curling up.
"Master Lin, I was really busy during the day and did not entertain you well. Please bear with me."
"How can there be? Lin is extremely honored to be valued by the ancestor."
"Don't say that. The future belongs to you young people. As an old man, I can only pave the way for my children and grandchildren as soon as possible in my lifetime, ensuring that the incense will not be lost and the inheritance will continue for thousands of years."
"Grandpa."
Some parts of the words of the ancestor of the Kong family coincide with what the Master of Jueyin Palace said.
They are all worried about the future, especially after the Wanhui Year. It is hard to say how many of the current forces will survive. The most important thing is to ensure that the Kong family survives the next great changes.
Kong Kai has obviously been fed a lot of content recently, so the atmosphere has become somewhat depressing without realizing it.
The ancestor of the Kong family looked at him and Lin Shan with a smile, happily trying to match them up without any twists and turns.
"Master Lin, I heard him tell me that you two have the same mind and share life and death. I am really happy. It is so rare to have such a friend in life. You should move around more in the future and don't let your feelings fade away. ”
"."
Lin Shan was wondering, I don't seem to be particularly familiar with you, why did you suddenly rise to such heights?
Kong Kai was full of excitement and had no sense of boundaries. He patted his chest and claimed that he was a good brother of Lin Shan. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to contact him. The ancestor of the Kong family was always laughing and joking.
"As long as I am here, those holy places will not be able to interfere with the local cultivation world of Lu, and they will be enough to defend against enemies from outside!"
"But after all, it is not Yuanshen. Shouyuan is a flaw. You can still hold on in the early stage of Wanhui, but I am afraid you can only rely on yourselves in the middle and later stages."
"Thirty years later, the first spiritual wave broke out. I have planned to ban this kid to prevent him from going out to cause trouble. It is best for Master Lin not to go out."
Having said this, the ancestor of the Kong family looked solemn, his eye lines wrinkled under the light, and he let out a long sigh.
"You have benefited from the previous glory and have grown up early. As long as you can hold on to the back and have the power to protect yourself, it is not too late to go out and compete for opportunities."
Kong Kai had obviously been convinced a long time ago and had resigned himself to the ban without any resistance.
Lin Shan was even more puzzled when he heard that it was so serious and he still wanted to drag it to such an extent.
"What will be the spiritual trend thirty years from now? Why are you so cautious?"
The ancestor of the Kong family shook his head and told him frankly that he only had a partial understanding of it. What was involved was an opportunity that all the top figures in this world were crazy about.
He will not participate in the first round of spiritual tide, but choose to stand by and watch.
Because in the first round, the major forces must be testing each other, with turbulence, countless secret gazes, a feast of wolves, and all kinds of knives behind the back.
This is the most dangerous moment at the beginning of Wanhui Nian. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you may fail!
After the first round has passed, a large number of behind-the-scenes masterminds have surfaced, and it will be safer than before. This is the gap period for young rookies to develop and rise.
In the next few rounds, I will wait until my life is running out before I give it a try. Before that, the focus is to arrange the Kong family well.
Making friends with young people with potential like Lin Shan is naturally one of his current priorities.
In addition, he secretly made some mutual aid agreements with Lin Shan. Under the Confucian rule system, he relaxed the forces under his command and allowed expansion. He also shared a lot of secret information and some old events.
As the two chatted, Lin Shan accidentally mentioned the battle between good and evil in the Lu country.
Especially regarding the final destination of the giant Buddha statue at the Black Lotus Sect’s main altar!
"Black Lotus, they collect beliefs, this is the poison of wish"
The ancestor of the Kong family recalled the past, the candlelight reflected in his eyes, swaying slightly. (End of chapter)
