This week, Lin Shuo's life has undergone earth-shaking changes from usual.
In the past two years, he has basically been in a state of being unemployed, and he only has to do something when he goes to work. Apart from spiritual practice, he mainly focuses on family chores.
And for him, family and practice are not contradictory.
Teaching his sons and daughters to practice, he himself is equivalent to reviewing the past and learning the new, playing with his monkeys and muntjacs, one is fighting fists and feet, the other is comparing speed, this is all practice.
There is another thing that Lin Shuo does every day, and that is to walk the dog for the old lady.
The four dogs in the family are too big to be released, and any one of them will be a vicious creature in troubled times.
Back then when Yun Yuexin saw these four heads, she thought of her husband and two sworn brothers, who were also four brothers and sisters, so she didn't want to kill, but stayed by her side after subduing them to relieve boredom.
After they came to Lin's house, Lin Shuo was quite disgusted at first, but after getting along with them for two years, he gradually developed feelings for them.
As pets, dogs are still suitable, and these four are not ordinary dogs, each with its own magic.
Lin Shuo's practice needs someone to practice his hands on. Now Bai Erxuan is with Su Zonghan, Lin Shuo is not good at snatching his son's pet.
In this way, the boss Taotie is very useful. Even if its body has been sealed by the old lady, it can only be practiced in human form. The level of its cultivation is also impressive. It can withstand Lin Shuo's seven points of strength, which is of great practical value. .
The second chaotic doll's combat power is not very good, but he has a wide range of knowledge in practice, a high vision, and a good eloquence. From time to time, he can discuss with Lin Shuo, which benefits Lin Shuo a lot.
The third son, Wuwu, is a dull gourd, he doesn't talk much at ordinary times, and he never changes his human form, but behaves like a dog peacefully.
It has a very good relationship with Master Zhui, and it recognized Master Zhui as its godfather, and because of this, it signed an inheritance contract with the Lin family.
Lin Shuo then came up with a set of methods that could be matched with it, and made it the new inheritance of the Lin family.
From then on, this person, one bow, one black phoenix and one yellow dog, can be regarded as the standard equipment for the heirs of the Lin family, which is to add skills to the descendants of the family.
The fourth child is Qiongqi, the most beautiful of the four dogs, his temperament is very similar to Su Nianqiu, gentle and delicate, Lin Shuo likes him the most.
Sometimes when you are tired from practicing, you can touch its head and let it talk with you, which is quite healing.
With these four dogs around, walking the dogs at other people's houses is a task. Lin Shuo walking the dogs is to practice and relax, and it usually takes an afternoon.
And this week, those days of leisure are gone forever.
This year's peer alliance ceremony is very different from the previous ones, which makes the people in the hunting gate feel uncertain.
Although the rules have been promulgated, everyone still wants to meet with the chief executive to find out the real reality.
As a result, the threshold of the Lin family was almost leveled, and the heads of all the families came with great gifts to pay a visit to the leader of the Liemen. Lin Shuo could only receive guests one after another at home.
Of course, this kind of reception is also a kind of practice for Lin Shuo.
Word practice.
The heads of the various families who came here were three-inch, five-inch, and seven-inch. All of them practiced differently, and they were all first-class shrewdness in dealing with the world.
When communicating with them, you can’t speak plainly, it hurts people like this, and you can’t completely hide the news, it’s disrespectful, so you go back and forth, each of which is time-consuming, ranging from an hour or two to half a day.
On the sixth day, the peer alliance ceremony was going to be held tomorrow afternoon. Lin Shuo saw the name on the guest list, and quickly told Su Nianqiu that this guest should stay at home for dinner and let his wife make some preparations.
Su Nianqiu was very strange, because none of the heads of the families who came before had reached the level of nine inches, and the chief leader gave a face-to-face meeting.
This visitor, Lin Shuo, was obviously treated specially, so the lady asked one more question: "Who is it? Male or female?"
Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, knowing that his wife was thinking about it, so he had to answer truthfully: "Yang Chengzhi."
Su Nianqiu frowned, she was not familiar with this name.
Lin Shuo continued to explain: "Yang Baokun's son."
Su Nianqiu understood now, nodded and prepared to go.
Lin Shuo arranged the meeting at dinner time, but when Yang Chengzhi came, Lin Shuo waved his hands away to let him talk about things and had dinner first.
Inviting people to his own restaurant, drinking three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Lin Shuo picked up a glass of wine and said, "Brother Yang, I told Uncle Yang before that this year's peer alliance ceremony, the Yang family has a chance to be nine inches. Now it seems that I am going to break my promise. I respect you with this glass of wine, and I will make an apology to your Yang family."
Yang Chengzhi is a twenty-five-year-old young man, younger than Lin Shuo, and he doesn't look like Yang Baokun to be honest. His nose bridge is high and his eyebrows fly into his temples. His eyes are piercing. He is very heroic and looks like Yang Baokun. It's not a number, it's probably Sui Niang.
But the big hand he was holding the wine glass at the moment, Lin Shuo could tell it must be from the Yang family, the size of this hand was the same as his father's, and bigger than Lin Shuo himself.
Yang Chengzhi held the wine glass in one hand while protecting the wine glass with the other, preventing Lin Shuo from toasting the glass of wine. He shook his head and said, "The chief executive's words are wrong."
After Yang Chengzhi said these words, the expressions of the Lin family wives who were accompanying the meal were different.
Tonight the second wife and the fourth wife are busy outside, and the ones who accompany the guests to eat are the first lady Su Nianqiu and the third lady Gotia.
The two girls looked at each other, and they couldn't help worrying secretly.
This Yang Chengzhi, whose cultivation level can't hide from the two wives of the Lin family, is extremely powerful. Although he will not threaten Lin Shuo himself, his cultivation level, coupled with the fact that he is the current head of the Yang family, is the only remaining leader of the Liemen. , identity is not trivial.
This person's status in the Hunting Gate is no less than that of the other eight leaders, so his attitude is very important.
If he opposes Lin Shuo, the other opposing families were forced to stand up before, and now they have found a leader, and tomorrow's peer alliance ceremony will inevitably be uneven and chaotic.
With the chaos of the peer alliance ceremony, the reform of Liemen in the past ten years has solved many stubborn problems, but there are also many new problems accumulated, which are very likely to be detonated together, and the situation will be difficult to deal with by then.
Compared with Su Nianqiu, Cotillard has more experience in human relationships and sophistication in the past ten years, and she reacts faster at this time.
The third lady of the Lin family smiled slightly, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Lin Shuo stopped her with a wave of her hand.
The leader of Liemen put down the wine in his glass and said, "Brother Yang has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
Yang Chengzhi didn't put down the wine in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "We used to be the Nine Dragon Nails of Liemen, so we didn't belong to the threshold system of Liemen.
Now that Jiulong's position has been clarified, my Yang family has no practical significance as the nail of Jiulong. That's why I should be invited by the leader of Liemen to become the family of Liemen.
Whether the threshold is high or low, whether it is three inches or nine inches, we did not participate in this before, and we will not pay attention to it in the future.
Moreover, the chief executive made the threshold unchanged from now on, which is obviously to downplay the impact of the threshold height and make arrangements for the future.
If I, Yang Chengzhi, couldn't understand this point, my father would not trust me to hand over the Yang family to me.
So Chief, your current apology is actually a non-existent thing, how can I accept it
This glass of wine should not be your respect to me, but my respect to you.
I'm here this time to ask for something. "
After hearing these words, Lin Shuo felt a little surprised.
Uncle Yang was proud of his son on board the An Lan two years ago, and Lin Shuo also chimed in and said a few words of affection to praise him.
Let's just say it, but you have to see in person how the person is.
Looking at this person today, no matter his cultivation level or his conversation, he is really not bad, he is capable but not arrogant, sharp but restrained.
But speaking of it, it should be said that since the Nine Dragons family has been born for ten thousand years, there have been many masters, it's just that the world doesn't know it.
The power of Kowloon is now beginning to be accepted by Liemen. Among them, the Kowloon family has both credit and hard work, and the last born of the Kowloon family is Yang Chengzhi.
Therefore, Lin Shuo can only give Yang Chengzhi the credit for the hard work of the past ten thousand years.
The leader of the hunting gate has already made up his mind and will not treat this person badly.
Now after eating a meal, this person has a superb cultivation base and a general understanding, the more he looks the more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, whether it is entrusted with a heavy responsibility needs to be further observed, but right now there is a request, and Lin Shuo can naturally agree to it.
The leader of Liemen accepted Yang Chengzhi's toast first, drank the wine in the glass, and said: "What request do you have, let me hear it."
Yang Chengzhi said seriously: "Ten years ago, my father had a battle with the chief executive at the peer union ceremony, and I was too young to attend.
But I knew the result, my father was not the chief's opponent, and he didn't catch a single move. "
Lin Shuo felt a little embarrassed.
At that time, Lin Shuo was the one who underestimated the opponent, miscalculated the weight of the Black Dragon Cudgel, and almost made a fool of himself, so he threw the pot away, but Lao Yang was also caught off guard and didn't catch it.
In fact, it was an accident. Lao Yang would not be so good, and it was still possible to do a few tricks with Lin Shuo at the time.
And in front of his son, he can't say that his father is not good, so Lin Shuo said: "The rumors in the world are always exaggerated, don't listen to their nonsense. At that time, I fought with Uncle Yang for 300 rounds. It was dark, and finally Uncle Yang saw that I was young, so he gave me half a trick."
Cotillard didn't see Lin Shuo's words, so she was skeptical, but Su Nianqiu was present, and it was very hard for Mrs. Lin to cover her mouth at this moment.
Yang Chengzhi also twitched the corner of his mouth: "Boss, the ones who told me about this later were my brothers who carried the Black Dragon Cudgel.
It is impossible for them to describe this matter to you, but it must be to their master, my father.
They all said that, and I guess the scene was even uglier.
So don't mention my father to hide his embarrassment. His skills are inferior to others. This does not hinder my father's image in my mind. "
Lin Shuo smiled, bowed his head and punished himself with a glass of wine, waiting for Yang Chengzhi to continue.
"It's just that as a son of man, I have to help him pick up the face that Dad dropped on the ground. This is also for the future reputation of the Yang family." Yang Chengzhi continued, "So tomorrow's peer alliance ceremony, please invite the chief Give me a fight."
Lin Shuo could only scratch his head when he heard it: "That's not necessary..."
Yang Chengzhi put down his wine glass and clasped his fists together: "I hope the chief executive will make it happen."
Lin Shuo sighed, and said softly, "Brother Yang, I have had a heart-to-heart relationship with your father, so I won't hide anything from you, tell the truth.
I see you talk, you are quite a shrewd person, so don't make such a fool.
Although the rules of the peer alliance ceremony have been changed, it is still a traditional grand event of the Liemen, and the supreme people in the sect will also come to witness it.
So even if I release the water at that time, I can't release it too much, or it will be seen by others. "
After Yang Chengzhi heard these words, he couldn't help being terrified, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Could it be that my Yang family has inherited the Nine Realms of Dzogchen, and I can't even take a single move from the leader?"
After hearing this, Lin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, you only want to take one trick, that's okay. I thought you wanted to fight me for 300 rounds, that's really too fake, people can't stand it, they will shout 'Refund the ticket 'of."
"Hey, you misunderstood." Yang Chengzhi said, "My father didn't follow up with one move back then. I can take one move and that's fine."
"That's fine, I'll take it into consideration." Lin Shuo nodded.
"Thank you Chief!"
