Chapter eight hundred and sixty six: guests
At night, there were no stars or moon, and the sky was very dark. The evening breeze swayed the rustling branches of the village, and the chirping of insects and frogs, mixed together, playing a unique nocturne. It was already dark. There were a total of 100 households in Linjia Village, most of whom had their lights turned off and they were sleeping and resting. Only the old village chief’s house in the middle of the village was still swaying in the house, and the dim light shone through the paper windows.
In the room, the old village chief Lin Xishan, Lin Ke, and Lin Ke, the third grandson of Lin Ke sat together around the fire pit. The firewood swayed, reflecting the wrinkled old face of Lin Xishan. Lin Ke and Lin Ke's small faces were also red with firewood.
"Xiaoke, grandpa knows that you have always been sensible, have your own opinions, and have your own ideas. Grandpa also knows that you are determined to ask for it. However, grandpa really doesn't want you to go on that path. I just hope that you and Xiaoke will grow up safely, and then marry Xiaoke and live your life safely. Wouldn't it be good?"
Lin Xishan spoke in a very light tone. Looking at Lin Ke in front of him, Lin Ke next to him blushed slightly when he heard Lin Xishan's words, and there was a hint of joy. Although the little girl was young, she still had some ignorant understanding of men and women under the influence of the uncles and aunts in the village. She also liked Lin Ke very much in her heart. There was a hint of blush on her delicate little face, and she looked at Lin Ke next to her with a shy look. However, Lin Ke didn't say anything, just lowered her head, and didn't look at Lin Xishan and Lin Ke, just silent.
"Oh" Seeing Lin Ke's appearance, Lin Xishan sighed helplessly. He knew that Lin Ke didn't listen to his words: "Since you have decided, grandpa will do your best to help you with the last one. I think Mr. Ning is a good man. I will go and ask Mr. Ning tomorrow to see if Mr. Ning can accept you as his disciple..."
"Grandpa, is Brother Ning really an immortal?"
This time, Lin Ke spoke, raised his little head and looked at Lin Xishan. His big black eyes were full of hot colors. It can be seen that he really wanted to embark on the path of cultivation. Even Lin Ke's beautiful big eyes next to him also looked at Lin Xishan, flashing with curiosity and a kind of worship. Immortals, they can fly and hide in the sky, move mountains and fill the seas, and for them, they are simply legendary characters.
"Yes, Young Master Ning must be a member of the Immortal Family." Lin Xishan nodded enough and said certainly that although he was an ordinary person, he still believed in his own eyes after his life. When he first saw Ning Caichen, he concluded that Ning Caichen was definitely not an ordinary person, but must be a person who practiced Taoism in the immortal family. Moreover, even among the Immortal Family, it was definitely not an ordinary person, because he had seen several immortals from the Great Yan Dynasty before, but compared with Ning Caichen, not to mention anything else, he was just about temperament.
It feels like those people are fireflies compared to Ning Caichen Yu Haoyue: "Tomorrow, Grandpa will take you to visit Mr. Ning and ask him to accept you as his disciple. However, whether it is successful or not depends on Mr. Ning's meaning. But you have to remember one thing. If Mr. Ning agrees, this is your blessing. You must cherish it more and remember this kindness in your heart, be a teacher for one day and be a father for life. If Mr. Ning doesn't accept you, you can't have any resentment towards Mr. Ning, because Mr. Ning does not owe us anything. You must remember these."
Lin Xishan also warned Lin Kedao that the entire Linjia Village is simple and most of the people here have simple personalities.
"Don't worry, grandpa, Xiaoke is awake."
Lin Ke nodded solemnly.
"Grandpa, I also want to defeat Brother Ning as my teacher." At this time, Lin Ke, who had not spoken next to him, interrupted Lin Xishan and Lin Ke slightly stunned. Then he looked at Lin Ke. He felt the eyes of both of them. Lin Ke was obviously much nervous. He pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, but there was a stubbornness on his delicate little face. He looked at Lin Ke and finally looked at Lin Xishan and said, "I heard that immortals have a long lifespan. If Brother Xiaoke really practices immortality, A Ke can't be with Brother Xiaoke forever. Therefore, A Ke also wants to practice immortality. A Ke wants to be with Brother Xiaoke forever..."
Some stubbornness and a little tender voice came out of Lin Ke's mouth, but Lin Xishan and Lin Ke were both stunned. They looked at Lin Ke, and Lin Ke also looked at Lin Ke and Lin Xishan. For a moment, the three grandfathers and grandsons looked at each other speechlessly.
At the same time, on the other side, Ning Caichen was lying on the roof, but he was speechless for a long time. With his current state, his senses were keen. The conversation between Lin Xishan, Lin Ke and Lin Ke and the third grandson of Lin Ke were all heard in his ears without saying a word. Even under the observation of his spiritual sense, the situation in the entire room was fully visible and his heart was slightly touched.
When he first met Lin Ke in the daytime, Lin Ke expressed his thoughts to him, wanting to practice Taoism, and even asked him if he was an immortal. However, Ning Caichen smiled and met by chance. He never thought that he would have too much interaction with the other party, at most he was a passerby in his life, but now he had another idea.
For yourself, it may be just a trivial thing, but for others, it may be a change of your life's destiny.
"Let's see it tomorrow."
All night, Ning Caichen lay on the roof. Compared to the bed in the house, he prefers to lie on the roof and listens to the sound of frogs.
The next day, the sun had not yet risen, and just dawned. Ning Caichen closed his eyes and glanced for a while, but was alarmed by the noise of horse hooves. When he opened his eyes, he saw a cavalry of about a hundred people riding horses from the road outside the village towards the village. Wherever he passed, dust splashed, and two carriages were followed by the cavalry.
At this time, the people in the village were also alarmed and walked out of the house. Looking at the cavalry outside the village, the old village chief also walked out of the house with the help of Lin Ke and Lin Ke. The eyes of the people in the village were attracted by the sudden arrival of the army, but no one noticed Ning Caichen on the roof.
"It's from the court." "What's going on? Why did the court come? Could it be that they are here to collect taxes? But it's not at this time. It's not until the end of the year. It's time to collect taxes until the end of the year..."
Everyone in the village rushed to the village gate and talked a lot. At this time, the cavalry also stopped at the village gate. In the front of the two carriages in the back, a man dressed in a middle-aged civil servant dressed in an official robe walked down. His chin, a long horse face, and his eyes were slanted, giving people a feeling of treacherousness. He came to the front-
"Who is the village manager? Come out!"
The middle-aged civil servant shouted, and the voice was loud.
"Old Xiang Lin Xishan is the village chief. I have seen the adults, but I don't know what it takes to do to come to the village."
Lin Xishan walked to the front with the help of Lin Ke and Lin Ke and saluted respectfully to the middle-aged civil servant.
"Oh, it turns out to be an old man." But when the middle-aged civil servant saw Lin Xishan, he said a frivolous tone, with contempt and disdain, and seemed to look down on him: "But it doesn't matter, the old man is just an old man, it's not a problem anyway?"
"Sir, you are right."
Lin Xishan followed and laughed apologized. Many of the village names behind were glaring at the civil servants. A cold light flashed in Lin Ke's eyes, but it just flashed and was not discovered. The little girl Lin Ke's cheeks were bulging and seemed a little angry, but was pulled by Lin Xishan.
"Sweep, a group of untouchables." Feeling the angry eyes of many villagers, the middle-aged civil servant sneered again, contempt and sarcastic, which was self-evident: "Okay, I don't want to delay too much in your remote areas, as you untouchables. Let me tell you the truth. This time, I came here on the order of the king to collect the immortal wine from Linjia Village. Because the genius from the holy land will come to my Great Yan Dynasty soon, so the immortal wine will be used as tribute wine to entertain guests from all walks of life. This is your blessing. So, hand over the immortal wine as much as you have. Don't hide it privately. If I let the official know which one dares to hide it privately, hum..."
At the end, the middle-aged civil servant snorted a few more times, and the threat was self-evident. This was very annoying. This man took a high-ranking attitude and despised them. Now he still took a tough attitude to collect immortal wine. Many young men and men in the village even squeezed their fists tightly, hoping to go up and beat the middle-aged civil servant to death.
"Okay, okay, everyone is gone. Go and take out all the immortal wine as the adults told me. The adults also said that this wine is for entertaining guests and an honor for our Linjia Village."
However, the old village chief made a smooth move and comforted everyone. In the village, Lin Xishan had a high reputation, and everyone knew that the old village chief was for the entire village. They were just a small village and were all ordinary people. If they were against the court, they would definitely not have a good life. Although they were angry, they could only bear it and left one after another to get wine at home.
"Old man, are you quite tactful?"
The middle-aged civil servant seemed very satisfied with Lin Xishan's approach and said jokingly as Lin Xishan.
"This is, it should."
Lin Xishan smiled at the civil servants of China Guangxi and said, "Lin Ke let go of Lin Xishan and went home to get wine at Lin Xishan's instructions.
"Big brother."
Lin Ke saw Ning Caichen coming, called out, glanced at Ning Caichen, and then looked behind.
"You go and get the bar, I'll go over and take a look. Don't worry, I'm here." Ning Caichen touched Lin Ke's head.
"Um"
Lin Ke nodded, then trotted into the village, while Ning Caichen walked towards the village gate.
"Young Master Ning", "Big Brother" and "Young Master Ning"
Ning Caichen came to the village gate. Lin Xishan and Lin Ke both greeted Ning Caichen when they saw this. Ning Caichen nodded to Lin Xishan, rubbed Lin Ke's little head, and then looked at the middle-aged civil servant. His eyes were very calm, but this glance scared the middle-aged civil servant, especially Ning Caichen's cold and calm purple eyes. When he looked over, the middle-aged civil servant only felt his heart tightened.
However, Ning Caichen just glanced at the middle-aged civil servant, then looked at the carriage at the back of the army. After a glance, Ning Caichen withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention. Instead, he stood beside him, holding Lin Ke and a few children.
The middle-aged civil servant looked at Ning Caichen and was furious. He was scared by the moment he had just met Ning Caichen. Now he felt a huge shame when he came back to his senses, but he did not dare to provoke Ning Caichen easily, because from Ning Caichen's clothes and temperament, he could see that Ning Caichen was obviously not from Linjia Village, and it was unusual.
"Interesting, I didn't expect a small Linjia Village and someone I couldn't see through? I don't know what this person is."
"I didn't see clearly, but I think this person should be young, and I think his strength should not be high. I might even have some secret techniques to hide his own cultivation, which makes people unable to see through. However, this time we are just coming to get wine. The genius of the holy land will arrive soon, as long as the person in front of us is honest."
