The two masters and apprentices were thinking about their own things, and no one paid attention to what was going on outside. The two of them were thinking about how to resolve the embarrassment. Sun Huaijin's visit directly pushed the situation to the edge of the cliff.
When he first faced the Inviting God Formation, Shi Jingzhi didn't feel so guilty. Even though a few meetings couldn't create much deep family affection, he didn't want to scare the old man to death at all. Leader Shi, who had been calm all this time, froze for a moment and almost gave up on himself and got under the quilt.
Yin Ci calmly pressed the corner of the quilt.
So Shi Jingzhi had no choice but to calm down his emotions and straighten his clothes neatly. Then he flew up to a chair not far away with a bang, and turned into sperm like a cannonball. Shi Jingzhi moved his posture very quickly. Just looking at that posture, he seemed to be discussing important matters of the sect with his apprentice.
Yin Ci: "..."
He had never seen Shi Jingzhi's hands and feet coordinated like this. It's a pity that the headmaster is still a little young - he is only wearing a nightgown and he is still lying on the bed. How could they talk about anything serious if they were all in the dark
Sun Huaijin was respectful and afraid of "Su Zhi", so he did not enter rashly. The old man cleared his throat and repeated politely: "Brother?"
"Come in." Yin Ci gathered up her plain nightgown and said helplessly.
Sun Huaijin entered the door humbly and looked up to see Master Shi, who was pretending to be calm. Two foxes, an old one and a young one, were frozen in the room, and no one spoke for a long time. Sun Huaijin's eyes swept over Shi Jingzhi and stopped on Yin Ci, his face slightly distorted.
Sun Huaijin was puzzled. During the day, the Kushan sect was idle, but now at midnight, his great-grandson appeared instead. Just now when he was outside the door, "Big Brother" was called out. He had to find a reasonable reason... After all, since there was someone in the house, why did Yin Ci let him in? Otherwise, tomorrow morning, he could explain it by walking in his dream.
The three of them were relatively silent.
In the end, Yin Ci sighed: "Okay Huaijin, he knows about me."
"...I know about him now." Yin Ci paused meaningfully and added.
Sun Huaijin's old face trembled, but without hesitation, he threw away the deaf servant who was supporting him and knelt on the ground. The old man put his head on the floor and said tremblingly: "I am already old, and the only thing I care about is these bloodlines. I did intend to hide it from my elder brother at the beginning, so I asked my elder brother to punish me."
What he said was impeccable and fluent, without any intention of excusing himself.
Old fox.
Yin Ci looked at Sun Huaijin funny. If he could tell Shi Jingzhi his identity, the "master-disciple relationship" would not be any worse. The old man had eaten the food correctly, but Jingzhi was in front of him, so he was just playing a trick.
However, Shi Jingzhi's status is delicate, and all his relatives who can speak a few words are in the palace. Now that he is living outside the palace, he can recognize his capable relatives like Sun Huaijin. Not to mention the countless times that Old Man Sun knowingly committed crimes, Yin Ci really couldn't bear to embarrass Sun Huaijin in front of Shi Jingzhi.
"Get up." Yin Ci said calmly, "Just talk, this kid didn't cause me any trouble."
In front of Sun Huaijin, Yin Ci was not the "clumsy elder" that Shi Jingzhi was familiar with. His aura as the leader of the Demon Sect has returned again, and there is a subtle sense of distance between him and Sun Huaijin. Shi Jingzhi touched his chest - recently, inexplicable desire and joy often appeared together, making him confused and caught off guard.
Yin Ci completely took the topic into his hands, and Sun Huaijin seemed to have completely forgotten the suspicious sight when he first entered the door. Now Sun Huaijin stood up shivering, asked the deaf servant to put a soft cushion on the chair, and then moved his buttocks up.
"Just say it's okay, just say it's okay." Old Man Sun repeated softly. "Su Da... the leader is following my great-grandson, and he also wants to investigate the Immortal Induction Association?"
"That's right." Yin Ci casually sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on Sun Huaijin, and his fierce aura continued to pour out. "Since you are visiting late at night, do you have any clue?"
The Immortal Yin Gui is no different from the Ling Cult in that it cannot be searched by simply sneaking in.
Three hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yinxian Association was extremely honest. On weekdays, it could only manage the temple. The Yinxian Association lasts for ten years and recruits powerful people from among the people. In the past hundred years, all it has provided is beauty wine and connections. It is like a health club for outstanding folk, and the entire organization is very loose.
Shen Zhu spent most of his life investigating it, but he has not yet reached the core. But it's normal. If the Yinxian Guild took advantage of the national religion and became stronger together, the royal family would probably have wiped out the national master lineage long ago.
Nowadays, it is easier for idle wealthy people like Sun Huaijin to get in touch with the Immortal Yinhui compared to people in the world.
"I was too old when I became rich and couldn't join the Immortal Enlightenment Society. Fortunately, I donated gold and silver and got in touch with a lot of people - that group of people were very polite and philanthropic, and never forced people to donate money. They also repaired the Qizhou Shrine. It’s tight, there’s no rumors about it.”
Sun Huaijin took a slow sip of tea and calmed down. A few lights were added to the room, and the orange light swayed, which was really warm.
"Of course, you shouldn't talk about such boring things in the dead of night."
The old man's eyes immediately turned away from Shi Jingzhi.
"Just talking about the Immortal Yin Gui, I remembered something strange. Even for an old man like me who has some spare money, the Immortal Yin Gui has never forced donations. There is only one exception... Jingzhi is also here, so I will simply start from the beginning."
Sun Huaijin's father was addicted to gambling and once lost all his family property, he drowned himself in a river. His mother borrowed three feet of white silk and passed away, leaving only an eleven or twelve-year-old Sun Huaijin. Seeing that the young man was about to be relegated to a low status by his creditors, "Su Zhi" took action, and the debt was repaid and the adoption was completed in one go.
Regarding the motivation for saving people, Su Zhi only said one sentence: "I have blood in my body, so this is not the case" -
Sun Huaijin is a descendant of Sun Huan, the two founding heroes of the country, "Lie'an Hou".
The Sun family was prosperous at first, and three hundred years later, there were thousands of relatives and friends. There is no value in numbers, and no one will treat that bit of blood as a rarity.
… Unless someone gets rich.
Sun Huaijin was obsessed with kinship. Once he achieved enlightenment, he brought countless chickens and dogs to heaven. Many people brought tokens of "recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan", thinking of becoming a relative and earning a living under Sun Huaijin's command.
Three hundred years have passed, and the possessions of the "Two Heroes" have long been divided up. The keepsakes of the Sun family were all small bits and pieces, either a bench used by Sun Wan's servants, or a worn-out bald brush written by Sun Wan. What's worse, even the tattered cloth shoes of Sun Wan's cousin were taken out.
Sun Huaijin would not refuse anyone who came. However, he was not interested in the pile of shabby junk, so he just found a warehouse to store it.
"Later, no one came to recognize us. Just when I thought it had stopped, another person from the Immortal Induction Association came." Sun Huaijin said solemnly, "They say that the two founding heroes were immortals who descended from the stars and were attendants of the emperor's emperor. Immortal family affairs Scattered outside, the price has actually dropped. They are willing to spend money to buy it and dispose of it properly.”
"I didn't want to let it go at that time, so I sold it to them. In business, how can I have trouble with gods?"
Shi Jingzhi: "...is this a 'strange thing'?"
Sun Huaijin glared at him warningly, and then gave Yin Ci an apologetic look that said "a junior is ignorant".
Yin Ci felt a faint stomachache, so he pinched his eyebrows and said, "Huaijin, continue."
"I have an old friend from Chigou who wants to get some founding objects to play with. Before the Immortal Immortal Association came, I happened to pick some good-quality ones to give to him. But later, the Immortal Immortal Association noticed this and secretly inquired about my The whereabouts of friends.”
"Is it necessary to be so sneaky just because I'm afraid that the price of the gods will drop? I simply asked my subordinates to let out the news and said that I gave my friend a bench, and then the fairy meeting was over."
It was just a trivial matter, not so surprising that it made people wary. Sun Huaijin had already forgotten about it. When I bring it up today, it does feel strangely awkward.
"What exactly did you give back then?" Yin Ci frowned.
"It's a well-preserved little statue of a god. The craftsmanship is a bit rough. It is said that it was made by Mrs. Sun Wan herself. It should still exist in the main altar at this time... As for why the Immortal Yin Gui cares about these objects, I have no idea."
The old man's expression became solemn and his voice was dry.
"I came here late at night because I have other important matters. Leader, Chi Gou has done something big."
Sun Huaijin has been away from the religion for a long time, but his attachment to the Chigou religion is still there. His tone was calm before, but when it came to Chi Gou, Sun Huaijin sat upright, his tone steady but urgent, unlike an old man's. He burned half a stick of incense in one breath and told Yin Ci all the news in detail.
Shi Jingzhi didn't sit on pins and needles for long before he was relieved - Sun Huaijin was old and frail and couldn't handle such a long conversation. As soon as he finished speaking, he fell out of breath, and was helped out by the deaf servant to let him breathe and give him medicine.
Master Shi took the opportunity to move back to the edge of the bed, still digesting the information just now: "Young Master Chigou happened to be alive outside, and he brought the bone-sweeping sword as a token. Will he return to the church one day? He also specially invited Taiheng and Yueshui Pavilion to come and enthrone. ceremony?"
The real young leader is having an ideological struggle with his arms around the big goose, and he doesn't look like he is going to return in a big way.
Yin Ci was not surprised: "Just losing the leader, Chi Gou is not that easy to collapse. If you want to mess up Chi Gou, you have to use more strong medicine. A young leader of unknown origin suddenly appears, I am afraid that he will be confused with the leader. The Xianhui cannot be ruled out... The news about Huaijin is quite good."
If there are people in Taiheng who are members of the Immortal Entrainment Society, they will take the opportunity to cause trouble this time. As long as you find the right target, this is a pretty good breakthrough point.
The Northwest General Forum of Chigou Sect
My first "clear memory" began in the northwest. Now that he's come full circle, he seems to be back where he started. Yin Ci couldn't help lowering his gaze and looked at his hands.
Through the swaying light and shadow, Yin Ci vaguely saw their bloody appearance - at that time, he used his ten fingers to peel away the yellow sand. The sand was mixed with blood, and the wounds were rubbed like sandpaper... Speaking of which, when did that happen?
Countless chaotic memories rolled into a ball and rolled around in his brain, making Yin Ci feel dizzy.
Shi Jingzhi smelled Yin Ci's trance, and quietly pressed his lips to the corner of his disciple's mouth: "This time, the two of us join forces, if it doesn't work, no one in this world can do it - since it's the world There is nothing that no one can do without regrets.”
A set of fallacies and heresies were told with righteousness and pride by Master Shi. Yin Ci slowly put away his fingers, turned his head and gently bit the other person's lower lip: "A few points..."
Before the word "reason" could be heard, there was a loud bang at the door.
Sun Huaijin hurriedly drank the medicine and went into the room despite the deaf servant's warning. He was met by an ambiguous fire. The old man's knees went weak, and he instinctively raised a trembling cane, but he didn't know who to slap.
His great-grandson, the Emperor, is a relative, and his eldest brother Su has a lot of favors. Who can he beat
Come to think of it, Sun Huaijin's life was full of ups and downs, full of ups and downs. From an orphan to a wealthy man, from the rivers and lakes to the network of officials and businessmen, he has seen all the weird and bizarre things in the world. Even in front of the immortal "Old Clinging", he could lie without changing his face.
… But he really has never seen anything like this!
Sun Huaijin sighed for a moment, and his throat gradually became choked. He finally rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
