Chapter 54 No worries
"Now that we're awake, let's talk." Xiao Lin still didn't turn around, but it was as if there were eyes behind him.
"Who is the senior? Is he the legendary cultivator?" The Immortal Immortal smiled bitterly and said with a dejected look on his face.
"The Immortal Immortal?" Xiao Lin turned around and did not answer the Immortal Immortal's question, but showed an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"Senior, please call me Hua Rongrong." The immortal immortal knew that in the eyes of the people in front of him, he was just an ant-like existence, so naturally he did not dare to call himself an immortal anymore, but honestly said his name.
Nodding, Xiao Lin said: "I'm very surprised, how can you keep your appearance as long as you are a mortal?" Xiao Lin did not mince words, but asked straightforwardly.
After a moment of silence, Hua Rongrong said: "This junior accidentally ate a strange fruit in an ancient cave on the mountain decades ago. Since then, he has maintained his appearance for decades. Nothing has changed.”
Nodding, Xiao Lin continued to ask: "Are there any fruits like this?"
Shaking her head, Hua Rongrong said: "After this junior swallowed the fruit, the strange plant withered immediately, but there was no second fruit."
"Then after you eat it, are there any seeds in the fruit?"
"If the junior is willing to give the seeds of that weird fruit to the senior, can the senior spare his life?" Hua Rongrong sighed. She knew very well that the reason why she was still alive and was not slapped to death by Xiao Shi was probably because The person in front of me still has questions about her, but once she really gives the seeds of the weird fruit to the person in front of her, she will lose the value of use and will probably be killed and silenced.
Looking at the enchanting woman in front of him, Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and said: "If the seeds you gave me can really be used, I can't consider saving your life. I can even restore your skills, but I There is a condition."
Hearing this, Hua Rongrong showed an expression of surprise and joy on her face: "Senior, as long as I live, Hua Rongrong will agree to any conditions."
"It's very simple. I want you to give up your position as the leader of the Baihua Sect, stay anonymous from now on, and protect a few people for me. Of course, I will put some restrictions on you. If you have even the slightest evil intention, your soul will be torn to death. "What Xiao Lin is talking about is a technique to control the souls of mortals. It is a relatively low-level soul refining method that ordinary low-level cultivators can master.
Hearing this, Hua Rongrong's face turned pale, but she knew very well that she had no choice. Moreover, after experiencing this incident, she also had the idea of being tired of the disputes in the world. She wanted to fight for hegemony in the world for the rest of her life and had to practice hard for dozens of years. The magic power of immortality for many years is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the people in front of him. The so-called ambition and hegemony are just a passing cloud in the eyes of the truly strong.
Thinking of this, Hua Rongrong sighed and said, "Junior is willing to obey the instructions of senior."
"Okay, after I place the ban on you, you can leave. Two days later, you take the seeds to the Bailian Sect Main Altar."
...
In the main hall of Bailiantang, there was a burst of laughter and laughter, and the sound of drinking and punching filled the entire hall.
In the living room at the inner door of Bailian Hall, there were only two people, Xiao Shi and Shangguan Hong. Behind Shangguan Hong were two young guards. Shangguan Hong's face turned pale, and he seemed to have lost the joy of victory at all. Instead, Deep worry.
"You said my brother is a cultivator?" Xiao Shi exclaimed, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Shangguan Hong nodded and said: "Shitou, I have never told you, in fact, the founder of our Bailian Sect is a cultivator. I don't know why he came to Huai County to create this foundation, leaving behind The Hundred Refinings Heart Sutra is not a cultivation technique, but a mysterious secret book created by the founder of the sect that is suitable for ordinary people to practice. Originally, our Hundred Refining Sect has been founding the sect for more than two hundred years. I have always thought that The so-called cultivators are just words of respect for the founder of the sect. Now that I saw your brother, I began to understand that the so-called cultivators may actually exist. "
Hearing this, Xiao Shi also fell into deep thought. Although he was usually straightforward, he was not stupid. Xiao Lin's various performances were indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals. On the Broken Sky Cliff, Xiao Lin taught his skills on the spot. , but with just a cup of tea, he suddenly became an innate super master. The only person who has such a method is the legendary "immortal".
"My brother is really an immortal?" Xiao Shi still seemed unable to believe it and couldn't help but say.
"I am not an immortal, but just a cultivator who practices hard." A voice took over Xiao Shi's words, and immediately after the two people's eyes flashed, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man with fair skin appeared with a smile. youth.
"Xiao Lin?" Xiao Shi had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this. He pulled Xiao Lin over and looked left and right for a long time.
"What are you looking at? No matter how much you look at it, I can't get an extra head." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"Junior Shangguan Hong, see you senior." Shangguan Hong on the side carefully saluted Xiao Lin and said respectfully.
"Haha, Master Shangguan Hall doesn't need to be polite. If you hadn't appreciated my brother, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. After all, I still have to thank you." Xiao Lin smiled at Shangguan Hong without any pretense. .
"By the way, Shitou, how are my father and little sister?"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I can't treat them badly. My younger brothers and sisters, your father and Xiaozhi all live in a house in the east of Huai County. I bought that house. Every month I They will send someone a few hundred taels of silver, don't worry," Xiao Shi said with a smile.
"Come on, let's go home and take a look." Just as he was about to take Xiao Shi away, Xiao Lin suddenly saw the two guards behind Shangguan Hong. He let out a cry of surprise, and then showed a half-smiling expression on his face. , stopped in his tracks.
One of the two young guards was shocked when he saw Xiao Lin looking at him. On Duantian Cliff, he saw with his own eyes the young man in front of him performing his martial arts on the spot, allowing Xiao Shi to break through to the realm of innate perfection in one fell swoop. After severely defeating the Immortal Immortal, he looked at Xiao Lin walking toward him with anxiety, his face turned pale.
Xiao Lin didn't notice this person at first, but with his eyesight, no one in the room could escape his peripheral vision. At this glance, he was quite surprised. It turned out that this person was Zhu Chong. The nephew of Zhu Biao, the overlord of Pit No. 7 of Qingshui Lake Mine, the guy who robbed him of eight coins of silver.
Xiao Lin did not expect that Zhu Chong was actually doing well. In just a few years, he became the personal bodyguard of Shangguan Hong, the master of Bailian Hall. This really surprised him, but it was obvious that Zhu Chong did not know Xiao Lin. He robbed countless people in the Qingshui Lake Mine, but he still remembered the little kid he was.
But Xiao Lin remembered it clearly. He looked at Zhu Chong with a half-smile, and then said lightly: "I don't like this person very much."
Xiao Lin's words made Zhu Chong's face instantly turn pale, with a look of horror on his face. Shangguan Hong's face also changed, but he soon regained his composure, while Xiao Shi's face was condensed, with a look in his eyes. Revealing Senhan's murderous intent, he looked at Zhu Chong and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu, I will give you one day to go back and arrange your funeral arrangements, and then go back to the main forum to commit suicide. Go ahead."
After saying this, he greeted Xiao Lin and pulled Xiao Lin along. They left the main altar of Bailiantang without looking back. From the beginning to the end, neither of them looked at Zhu Chong who had a frightened face.
Zhu Chong did not understand until his death why Xiao Lin wanted to kill him. If he knew that it was just because he had robbed Xiao Lin of eight pieces of silver at the Qingshui Lake Mine, he would probably die in silence.
...
When Xiao Lin saw his father and sister Xiao Zhi, even though his heart was as hard as stone, he couldn't help but shed tears. His sister Xiao Zhi hugged him and cried for a long time, and his father kept crying beside him. Wiping tears.
Originally, they learned from Xiao Shi that Xiao Lin had also become an outer disciple of Bailian Hall and was looking for minerals in the Tianlu Mountains. They were really happy for a long time. However, a few years later, Xiao Lin seemed to have disappeared. None, which made them start to worry. Later, like Xiao Shi, they thought he was dead. For this reason, Xiao Zhi specially set up a memorial tablet for him and cried loudly.
This made Xiao Lin feel dumbfounded, but he was very moved in his heart. Only his closest relatives would cry and laugh for him.
In the next few days, Xiao Shi did not return to Bailian Hall, but accompanied Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin also enjoyed the rare warmth of a family. In the first two days, Hua Rongrong was going to Bailian Hall After failing to find Xiao Lin, he was brought over by Shangguan Hong.
Seeing Hua Rongrong really surprised Xiao Shi, and he was ready to take action. After learning the whole story, even Xiao Shi was shocked, and Xiao Lin also kept his promise and restored Hua Rongrong. Since then, Hua Rongrong has become a maid beside Xiao Zhi. Not only can she protect the safety of Xiao Lin's family at any time, but the position of housekeeper of the entire Xiao family has also been gradually given to Hua Rongrong.
Xiao Lin also got the seeds of the strange fruit from Hua Rongrong. He carefully planted them into the spirit tree space, and by the way, he also planted the unknown spirit grass that he got from killing the enchanting woman. In the spirit wood space.
And his father and Xiao Zhi also learned about his experience from Xiao Lin, and also understood that he was already a cultivator. This made his father and Xiao Zhi envious, and Xiao Shi kept pestering Xiao Lin to teach him Xiao Lin couldn't master his true skills, so he threw the remaining copy of the Dry Water Sutra to Xiao Shi.
In fact, this was Xiao Lin's intention to leave this Dry Water Sutra. If any descendant of the Xiao family can practice it, it means that they have spiritual roots. As for whether they have immortality, it depends on their personal destiny.
The next day, Xiao Lin got the news from Xiao Shi. Yesterday, shortly after he and Xiao Lin left the main altar, Shangguan Hong led people to destroy Zhu Chongman's family. He was accused of having an affair with Baihua Clan and stirring up disputes in the world. , and Xiao Lin just smiled and said nothing after hearing this. When he left the Bailianmen main altar, he left a trace of spiritual consciousness on Zhu Chong. Now he can be sure that Zhu Chong is dead. As for Shangguan Hong, Xiao Lin didn't care about the charges he was charged with. In his opinion, Shangguan Hong was indeed a smart man who knew how to make choices.
In this way, a month passed quickly. On this day, Xiao Lin's family gathered in the living room.
Father and Xiao Zhi's eyes were red, and even Xiao Shi, a grown man, had misty eyes. He was holding Xiao Lin's arm tightly, as if the brother would disappear if he let go. There was a teenage boy next to him, and a An eight or nine-year-old little girl with sky-high braids was looking at her brother and this strange uncle strangely.
"Shitou, you are now an innate warrior. In this world, no one can threaten you. I feel relieved as long as you are here. However, you must remember that there are people outside the world and there is heaven outside. You should keep a low profile in everything and don't take it easy. Make too many enemies for yourself.”
Then Xiao Lin turned around and glanced at Hua Rongrong, who was standing aside with her hands down: "Hua Rongrong, you must protect the Xiao family. Although the restraint I have placed on you cannot be broken, as long as you don't do anything to the Xiao family, If someone has evil intentions, it won't have any impact on you. I believe you are a smart person and don't need me to waste any words."
"Brother, you must come back to see Xiaozhi in the future, wuwu."
After gently stroking Xiao Zhi's head, Xiao Lin also choked with sobs and said, "Yes, I will definitely come to see you as long as I have time."
Two hours later.
A green light soared into the sky from the Xiao family and disappeared in the distance in the blink of an eye, while everyone in the Xiao family stared blankly at the sky and remained silent for a long time.
In the Tianlu Mountains, Xiao Lin controlled the Seven-Edge Slash and headed towards the depths of the Tianlu Mountains like lightning. With the blessing of the Great Perfection Level Wind Control Technique, his speed was faster than that of ordinary monks in the Qi Refining Stage. Many, even monks who are in the Great Perfection realm in the Qi Refining Stage may not be able to beat Xiao Lin in terms of escape speed.
Now, he already knows that his father and little sister are safe, and through his own arrangements, as long as no cultivator interferes in mundane matters, his father and sister will be safe. This also makes him let go of a problem in his heart and let him Be able to embark on the path of spiritual practice without any scruples.
He did not plan to return to Wuyin Fairy City this time, but was planning to go to Chixia Fairy City, a fairy city in the Tianlu Mountains that was larger than Wuyin Fairy City.
