This is the season of Treading Snow Cottage, Spring and Jingming. Drifting in the reeds in a flat boat, my depressed heart gradually calmed down.
"Hula!" The surface of the water suddenly rose, and a young boy in a thin shirt came out from under the water, grabbed Lin Xin's bow, and asked childishly, "Where did the guest come from?"
At this time, children who are not afraid of the cold have already started to fish in the water. With a head full of water plants, he also pretends to be elegant, very Lin family style.
The eastern region is facing the sea, and those who walk in the snow hut are all very good at water. When my father was young, he should have fished and caught shrimps in this clear and shallow water, but it was a pity that Lin Xin lived in Luqitai, where there was no water, and he was still a landlubber.
Lin Xin bent down, and quickly snatched the fish from the child's hand, "I'm from the Northern Territory, and I want to meet your Duke."
The young boy was suddenly robbed of the fish, and was stunned for a moment, forgetting what to say next.
"When a guest comes from afar, he will give him a fish. Don't snatch the child." Lin Qu, dressed in green, came from the boat, lightly landed on the boat, looked at Lin Xin with a gentle smile, and then looked at his hand. fish.
Lin Xin tossed the fish casually, and the young boy sprang out in an arc like a cat, and sank back into the water with the fish in his mouth.
The imperial decree has been issued long ago, and now Lin Qu is in power in the Lin family. Lin Yedan was practicing sword on the waterside pavilion, saw Lin Xin from a distance, snorted coldly, turned around and left, unwilling to say a word to him.
"Father has always been like this. Ever since I advised the families to exchange their fiefs with deer glass, I have also been annoyed. He hasn't spoken to me for quite some time." Lin Qu explained casually, and invited Lin Xin to sit in the small pavilion shaded by peach blossoms. inside.
There is an unfinished chess game in the pavilion, the white stones are made of transparent crystal stones, and the sunspots are made of bright and introverted black agate. Because the master left temporarily, a few peach petals fell on the chessboard.
"Looking at the whole Dayong, only brother Shujing is really cultivating immortality." Lin Xin sat down beside Heizi, looked at the chessboard on the table and sighed.
"Since you have called my elder brother, don't mention my name again." Lin Qu said in a serious tone, and added a cup of tea to Lin Xin.
Lin Xin was taken aback, and took the cup of warm bamboo leaf tea. Calling him elder brother that day was really impulsive, I didn't expect this man to be serious. Lowering his head and sipping tea, he didn't know how to answer, so he cut straight to the point and said what he wanted to say: "I came to remind you that Wen Shilan is in the territory of Dayong, and may come to compete with swords in the near future. He has a witchcraft spell in his hand, and the spiritual veins in it are all destroy."
"Pa-ta-pa-ta", Lin Qu brushed away the peach petals, picked up the chess pieces back into the box, his face remained calm, "Would you like to have a game with me?"
This person seemed to never know how to write the word "anxiety", so he stuffed the sunspot into Lin Xin's hands involuntarily.
"It's not like a money-grubbing person wants so much deer glass, but for Shen Qingque?" Lin Qu dropped a word, breaking Lin Xin's way.
"Where do these words come from?" Lin Xin twitched his brows slightly, and continued without changing his expression.
"He wanted to attack Beimo when he was thirteen years old, but it's a pity that Beiyu couldn't afford it. He even tried to persuade my father to send people to sea to look for Lu Li," Lin Qu said with a smile, resting his forehead with one hand, his peach blossom eyes sparkling. , "I heard that you jumped off Mogui Valley alone in order to save him."
Lin Xin smiled and said, "I didn't know that the Eastern Territory with closed eyes and listening is so well-informed."
"Shumusai heard about people, not land," Lin Qu said pointedly, and threw all the white characters in his hand into the chess basket, "You lost."
Although he is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Lin Xin is not very good at playing chess. When meeting a master like Lin Qu, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Tsk, come again." Lin Xin refused to accept it, and picked up the chess pieces to start the game again.
This time, as soon as Lin Qu changed his previous regular style of chess, he began to play wildly, with one left and one right, without any rules at all. Lin Xin was bewildered, and wondered if this cousin despised his chess skills and started to play foolishly
"You learn from Zhu Yixiao, it's not difficult to win against me, but you are too impatient, and you can only watch three steps in everything." Lin Qu said, and suddenly fell down. The white pieces that were scattered here and there like bird droppings suddenly became a piece, and the scene of sluggishness like a drunk man's lying down instantly showed his sharpness, and he made a killer move every step of the way.
Lin Xin was startled, just now it was still a beautiful landscape, now looking at the past, the country has already collapsed and there is no possibility of a turnaround.
Lin Qu picked up the cup, took a sip of tea slowly, and looked at him with a smile.
"Don't play, don't play!" Lin Xin threw the sunspots in his hand on the chessboard, a little annoyed that Lin Shujing used chess to test his temper, "Come back to business, if Wen Shilan comes to the door, you will wait how?"
"What do you think?" Lin Qu didn't care about the fierce expression of the deer-cutting Hou. He raised his hand to let the servants remove the chessboard, and brought him a plate of peach blossom cakes.
"Of course it shouldn't be, you are a junior, he shouldn't have asked you for a sword competition." Lin Xin picked up a piece of snack, frowned and looked at Lin Qu who treated him like a child.
"Father, I have already agreed." Lin Qu shook his head slightly. As early as when Wen Shilan went to the Northern Territory, the battle invitation had been sent to Treading Snow Cottage.
Lin Xin got up suddenly, wishing he could grab Lin Qu's collar and punch him, he should have done it a long time ago, and he was still talking nonsense, "He can't even win against me, and he still fights with Wen Shilan? Your Lin family is really hopeless. "
These old and stubborn people all have the same virtue as Shen Qirui, knowing that they can't beat them, they still have to fight. Thinking that Zhu Yangai had also received a battle invitation, it turned out that there was no need to think about it. His uncle's bad temper must have already set up his battle to beat Wen Shilan into a dog.
Lin Qu lowered his eyes, and slowly picked up the pastry that Lin Xin had dropped on the table, and threw it into the shell plate, "Wen Shilan has your father's ashes in his hand."
Lin Xin froze suddenly.
Going up to the sword competition stage is a contest of life and death, and there must be a purpose. There is no doubt that Lin Zhenghan's ashes are the reason why Lin Yedan accepted the sword competition.
At the end of the peach blossom grove, on the waterside pavilion full of falling cherries, Lin Yedan was holding a bowl of Chixingcao tea, hesitating again and again.
"The soul power hasn't recovered yet?" Lin Xin stopped in front of the water pavilion after smelling the familiar smell of urine from a long distance away.
Chixingcao can warm and nourish the soul and store soul power. Soul power and soul are two different things. If the soul is compared to tea leaves, then soul power is the tea brewed from the tea leaves. If the tea is taken away, it can be replenished, but if the tea leaves are taken away, it will be damaged.
"You still have the face to say, who taught you the magic of absorbing soul power?" Lin Yedan drank the Chixingcao in one gulp, and stared at Lin Xin coldly.
Seeing Lin Yedan like this, Lin Xin suddenly didn't want to talk, turned around and left. Lin Yedan was so angry that she dropped the cup in her hand.
Lin Xin lingered in the Eastern Territory and asked Lin Qu to teach him how to swim and fish. The good-tempered Lord Qing really rolled up his trousers and pulled him into the water, touching loaches, catching small fish, and picking out bird eggs, without saying a word about how to deal with Wen Shilan.
The young boy who greeted him while leaning on the bow of the boat looked curiously at the clumsy Lin Xin, "Didn't your elder brother teach you when you were young?" In the Lin family, these skills should have been taught by your elder brother when you were young.
"What's none of your business?" Lin Xin curled his lips and stole a loach from the little boy's basket.
Three days later, Wen Shilan appeared in the Snow Treading Cottage where the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
"My father's injury has not healed, so I'm afraid he won't be able to fight. We Han people pay attention to repaying father's debts, so we let Qu ask for advice from the venerable." Lin Qu entertained Wen Shilan with the red tape of the Eastern Region, and the northern desert man frowned .
Somehow Lin Yedan was persuaded by his own son, but he really didn't come out to fight.
"You are not my opponent." Wen Shilan put the wolf-slashing sword back on her back.
"Your junior is naturally not your opponent, because you have accumulated decades of spiritual power, and I have just reached the crown. If you want to compete, please ask seniors to remove the deer glass. We only compete in swordsmanship, not spiritual power. How about it? In terms of swordsmanship, this junior thinks he can't lose to anyone, including Sirius on the grassland." Lin Qu curled his peach eyes with a half-smile, but there was no smile on his lips.
Sirius on the Grassland is Wen Shilan's nickname in Beimo. No one in Dayong knew about it, so Lin Qu came here as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Wen Shilan heard this, she immediately became interested, "Okay!"
"Wait a minute! No need for Luli, I'll compete with you!" Lin Xin jumped out from nowhere and stood in front of Lin Qu, "If I win, besides handing over the ashes, you have to answer a question for me."
Seeing Lin Xin's face, Wen Shilan's eyes changed suddenly, "What does it have to do with you?"
"I'm also from the Lin family." Lin Xin opened the Yanggu sword and removed the deer glass from the hilt with a click.
Lin Qu looked at Lin Xin in surprise, quickly came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "No need, if I win, I'll let him answer your questions." Sword platform, throw away the deer glass on the hilt, and invite Wen Shilan to come on stage.
Wen Shilan was also refreshing, "Dangdangdang" removed the seven deer glasses, turned over and jumped on it, shaking the wooden platform three times.
Lin Xin was worried secretly, and he didn't know where Lin Qu got his confidence. Even in the late previous life, Lin Shujing was not on the list of top experts in the world. With such mediocre qualifications, how can she beat Wen Shilan, who is the top three in the world
"Om—" There was no Luli's spirit sword, but there was a buzzing sound, Lin Qu pointed his sword to the ground, saluted lightly, and struck out suddenly.
"Ding ding ding" Between the fire and light stones, the two of them had dismantled hundreds of moves, and they could hardly see the movements clearly. The sword in Lin Qu's hand seemed to be alive, flipping back and forth in his palm and around his body. Every move was extremely exquisite, without flaws, using the spirit sword without Luli in its state when Luli was activated.
Lin Xin slowly let go of Yanggu's hand. If it is not about spiritual power, but about swordsmanship, Shen Lou is no match for Lin Qu.
Lin Shujing, who has always been indifferent to mountains and rivers, is a genius no less than Shen Lou!
He is just indifferent and doesn't like publicity. In previous years, he didn't participate in the hunting in the leisure pool. He did it at will, and he didn't fight or grab, so that the world looked down on him.
