Lingpingan sat on the chair, looked at the four people in front of him, and chatted.
Feel…
We can’t talk together!
They were talking about business and policies.
Or they are discussing the respective strategies of the Republicans and the Datong faction in this year’s general election.
In short, they are all topics that Lingpingan is not very interested in.
Therefore, he couldn't help but want to yawn.
It was out of politeness that he didn't leave immediately.
Just in time, the phone in his pocket rang at this time.
So, he stood up and said apologetically to the others: "Sorry, I'm going to take a call..."
"Please!" Wang Shan nodded with a smile, but he no longer paid much attention to this 'young master'.
Because he is so ordinary.
It's so ordinary that if you were in a crowd, you wouldn't be able to recognize it immediately!
Lingpingan stood up and walked forward.
Meow!
The kitten, which had been lying under the chair, immediately followed him.
"Brother Xian..." Wang Shan looked at Zhang Fengxiao who seemed a little lost in thought: "What are you looking at? So lost in thought?"
Zhang Fengxiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing!"
But in his mind, the figure of the kitten that just followed him kept appearing.
A cat, a strange cat
He could feel that the cat seemed to have some kind of special feeling.
It's just that this feeling is very slight.
"Maybe it's a civet..." he thought: "It's probably left by the ancestors of the Ling family..."
That's the only way to explain it.
After all, there must be something extraordinary about the fact that the Ling family has been able to convince so many families.
only…
This generation is really crotchless.
The only bloodline is just a mortal.
No psychic powers, nothing special!
Thinking this way, Zhang Fengxiao was also a little emotional.
In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people!
There is no eternally strong family in the world!
There is only the eternal world!
It has never been like this since ancient times!
Just listen to Wang Shandao: "This young master of ours has quite a bit of spirit..."
Wang Xiao also smiled and said, "Yeah! You have some backbone!"
Wang Yi also nodded.
pity…
Integrity and other things have been worthless since ancient times.
Especially the backbone of civilians!
Tao Yuanming could remain famous in history without giving up for five buckets of rice, but that was because he was a famous scholar.
If he was not a famous person, but just a farmer, then I am afraid he would not have received praise, but ridicule.
This is just like Xi Shi's steps, hiring Tingting, everyone looks at her.
Handan women learn it, but it only adds to the laughing stock and is despised.
For example, if a celebrity writes a wrong word, it is a fake word, and if an ordinary person writes a wrong word, it is a pure typo.
so!
"Sometimes, the backbone of ordinary people can only bring misfortune..." Zhang Fengxiao thought of this sentiment he had read in a certain novel, and he also sighed.
That young master of the Ling family, it seems now that his pride and integrity may harm him.
think about it…
With so many people sitting here, anyone can help him directly boost his business.
But because of his pride and integrity, he was unwilling to speak.
Naturally, no one would be stupid enough to take the initiative to help a stranger whom they had not met a few times.
Even if this person is the head of the family who was very close to him in the past - isn't that enough to support him
…
When Lingpingan walked to the door of the yard, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, his expression brightening.
400100, Commission for Meritorious Children of the Federal Empire.
He reluctantly answered.
"Hello..." came an unfamiliar female voice from the other side: "I am here at the office of the Meritorious Children of the Federation Empire..."
"I would like to inform you that the Imperial Commissioner will make a special trip to visit you next Wednesday..."
"I wonder if you have time to receive me?"
Lingpingan swallowed suddenly.
But he also knew that this was actually a day that was bound to come.
The Federation Empire Meritorious Children Committee has a slogan: We will never let any descendant of the meritorious heroes lack food and clothing, let alone be alone!
The former is guaranteed by various subsidies and allowances from the royal family and the central government.
The latter is the main task of the Meritorious Children Committee - to hold a sorority party and try every means to bring together a large group of men and women.
This is their political achievement.
It’s also their performance.
Legend has it that the Meritorious Children Committee has a quota every year.
How many pairs must be completed.
If not, the superiors will punish you.
This kind of punishment usually results in depriving the relevant person in charge of his title and withdrawing his title.
That's quite serious.
"This..." Lingpingan still thought about delaying: "I might not be there then..."
"Then when will you be free?" the other party asked immediately: "The commissioner will visit again then..."
Lingpingan sighed. He had no choice but to say: "Then let's do it on Wednesday at noon..."
no way!
The Federal Empire Commissioner is the representative of the royal family!
All subjects of the empire are obliged to cooperate unconditionally and assist in their reasonable work.
This is written in the law.
It is also a basic respect for the royal family!
He hung up the phone and looked back at his pet: "Little darling... I feel like we are going to be in trouble..."
Cocktail party…
Yingyingyanyan, women who are like wolves and tigers...
The men were all well-dressed and spoke with arrogance...
besides…
Terrible food...
It’s hard to hear the singing of traffic people that makes people’s ears hurt…
What's the point
Meow!
The kitten meowed softly, seeming to express deep sympathy and regret for its owner!
Lingpingan sighed.
He really has no choice!
"Take a step, take a look..." He said, frowning tightly.
Putting away his phone, he looked back at the four people chatting animatedly in the yard.
He shrugged.
During the interaction just now, Lingpingan felt that there were hints in and out of the words of the four people.
It implies that he can make some requests to get some help.
only…
A real man gets no rewards for his merits!
A gentleman will not eat what he comes to complain about!
Just as Lingpingan respects them, Lingpingan respects himself even more.
No matter what others think, in Lingpingan's view, he has the same soul and personality as anyone else.
Moreover…
Their so-called resources, so-called relationships...
Does it have anything to do with his Lingpingan
Those things are never looked upon by Lingpingan.
In Lingpingan's view, all the fame and fortune that others are rushing towards are not as important to him as a game!
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!" Lingpingan said to his pet and walked forward slowly.
As he walked, he hummed a ditty: "I am still the same boy as before... Time is just a test... The faith planted in my heart has not diminished at all..."
This is another song that I don’t know when I heard it.
As he sang, Lingpingan became confused: "Why are you singing next?"
forget!
…
In the yard, out of the corner of his eye, Wang Shan saw the descendant of the Ling family walking slowly along the bluestone road in the village.
He originally wanted to keep him, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
People from different worlds have a generation gap when communicating.
Let him be an ordinary, ordinary mortal.
Live this life peacefully and joyfully!
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Looking back, he saw his father, leaning on his back and looking into the distance.
"Father!" Although Wang Shan usually sounded like an old man, he was actually very filial and he immediately stepped forward and shouted.
Wang Xiao and Wang Yi immediately stood up, looked at their old father's appearance, and shouted: "Father!"
"Alas!" The old father sighed deeply.
This long sigh made the three brothers' hearts beat rapidly.
It was as if something extremely precious had left them with this sigh.
More importantly, with this sigh, the figure of the old father suddenly became desolate and sad.
It is the spirit that is wailing, and the soul that is heartbroken.
"Father..." The three brothers immediately gathered around: "What's wrong?"
The old father turned around, looked at the three brothers, shook his head, and said, "After all, it's rotten wood that cannot be carved!"
His figure instantly turned into phantoms and disappeared into the air.
The Wang brothers were shocked!
Because this is a technique they have never seen before.
The three brothers were shocked and panicked.
Because the old father is so abnormal.
In fact, they would rather their old father scold them severely than do this!
Looking back, they saw the door to the back room opened.
The figures of the old village chief and his wife appeared in front of them.
"Uncle Zhang..." The three brothers forced a smile and saluted.
Zhang Fengxiao stood up immediately: "Father, mother..."
He stepped forward and was about to kowtow.
But he was held up by an invisible force.
Zhang Fengxiao swallowed...
This is…
At least brigadier level psychic powers!
and…
Judging from the psychic induction, it should be a technique that is unknown even to the Federation Empire!
Some kind of secret skill
What shocked Zhang Fengxiao even more was that since he was a child, he had no idea that his parents were actually powerful extraordinary beings!
This is an ability that his parents have never shown in front of him.
"Father..." He looked at his parents and asked, "Mother... what on earth is going on?"
The old father shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you anymore..."
"The test is over..."
"it's all over… "
"Test?" Zhang Fengxiao asked without understanding.
"Don't ask..." The old father's figure became shaky: "Since you have failed..."
"Then go live your life!"
"Everything here has nothing to do with you!"
"Two hundred years of hard work... destroyed in one day... destroyed in one day..."
Watching the old father carrying his weight on his back, he slowly walked towards the back room.
Zhang Fengxiao immediately stepped forward, took his mother's hand, and asked, "Mom, what is the test?"
The old mother shook her head, then patted her son on the shoulder: "Go back..."
"The things here have nothing to do with you..."
With that said, she slowly walked towards the back room.
Zhang Fengxiao turned around and looked at the Wang brothers who were also a little flustered and confused.
"What happened?"
"How could my father and mother be extraordinary people?"
"And he is such a powerful transcendent!"
Psychics don't lie!
"Do you remember..." Wang Shan took a deep breath and said, "Do you remember the legend when you were a child? The legend of the Ling family!"
There have always been legends about the Ling family in the village, and even in nearby villages.
The Ling family cannot be offended...
Their ancestors were very fierce!
The Ling family are all monsters!
They also remembered that when they were young, every time they saw the empty Ling family's ancestral house, someone would always grab their ears when they tried to get closer.
"Don't be disrespectful to the ancestral home of your master's family!" The adults were extremely serious.
A naughty child, but he couldn't help but want to explore the secrets.
But whenever they got close to that house, they were always taken back!
The speed is even comparable to when they want to skip class and go to an Internet cafe!
In the past, they didn't take this to heart.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the Ling family's ancestral house is very ordinary.
That is to say, in my memory, when I was a child and followed my parents to worship at the ancestral home of the Ling family, I would feel a little strange.
But I was too young at that time and didn’t think about it carefully.
As I grew up, I gradually forgot about it.
But now, they are beginning to recall their experiences of worshiping as children.
Fireworks linger.
One circle after another slowly rose up.
The Ling Family's God's Master Cards come one after another.
The Father is on the left, the Son is on the right, and the ancestor is in the middle.
Row after row, neatly lined up.
This is the Zhaomu system!
And those rising fireworks fell on the God Lord cards, as if the souls of the ancestors had returned from the Nine Netherworld and re-examined the world.
The old woman from the Hu family, the old woman who only appeared once a year, knelt on the ground.
She muttered words at an indescribable speed.
Offerings on the table…
correct!
Offerings for the table!
Wang Shan tried hard to remember.
He finally remembered it!
Once, through the lingering smoke, he glimpsed the sacrifices placed on the altar table.
Piece after piece, covered with blood, seemed to be shining.
The blood that flowed out was still hot.
It flowed out sizzlingly, like a flame.
The flesh was glowing, giving off a golden light.
As a child, he didn't understand and didn't know.
but now…
That is the flesh and blood of the great demon!
The flesh and blood of the top big demon is freshly dug out from the body of a still alive big demon!
"Why am I so stupid!" Wang Shan slapped himself hard!
Now that things have happened, no matter how stupid he is, he understands.
The Ling family is the king...
This is something his parents have taught him since childhood.
In the past, he always thought that his parents were pedantic and stubborn.
but…
He had never thought about why his old father was so powerful, but he was willing to stay here and be an unknown farmer here.
He has obviously shown his power!
That is the most obvious reminder.
The Ling family is the king...
Since he is a king, he can become a king as powerful as his father.
Then there can only be one possibility!
Be virtuous!
Anyone who is not virtuous is not qualified to be a king!
This virtue can be both civil and martial arts!
In short, there must be something that can suppress the subordinates and make them obey orders obediently.
And in the world of extraordinary people, whether it is literary virtue or martial virtue, they are earth-shattering things!
Once upon a time in ancient times, Cangjie created characters and the ghosts and gods cried.
This is Wende.
Hou Yi bent his bow and shot at the sun, this is martial virtue!
Some Miao refused to accept, Emperor Shun practiced teaching for three years, held the post of Qi Wu, but Miao refused to accept, this is the combined effect of both civil and military virtues!
In other words, the Ling family can be the king.
Must be virtuous!
This virtue is very strong!
A man as strong as his father is willing to be a slave and servant to the Ling family, cleaning on time and carefully every morning and evening.
Strong enough to allow the Zhang family, Wang family, and Hu family to guard the village in obscurity.
So strong that each family has been serving them for two hundred years.
Seeing Wang Shan's look, the other three people understood, no matter how stupid they were.
"Test?" Zhang Fengxiao asked a question: "What kind of test is it? What is the result of the test?"
The four of them raised their heads and faced each other.
Now, they all know the reaction of the elders on both sides after the failure.
I hate that iron cannot become steel...
Mud can't hold up the wall...
That…
This means they have lost something very important.
So what is this thing
They all thought about their parents' extraordinary abilities at the same time.
Whether it was the figure of the Wang family's old father, the quick flash of spells, or the magical power of the Zhang family's parents that made him unable to move without even moving a finger.
So, does testing have something to do with inheritance
Only those who pass the test can get the inheritance
Did they miss out on the family's magical powers and magic
Thinking of this, the faces of the four people suddenly became wonderful.
…
The old village chief felt his son's expression.
He shook his head: "Idiot!"
The silly son still doesn’t know, what did he miss
but…
This is life!
