Later that day, the news that the demons were about to invade the cultivation world had spread throughout Yuyao, and Yuyao, who had already been panicked because of Chi Yangjun's surprise attack on the symposium, fell into panic almost instantly.
Now that the matter has come to this point, there is naturally no way for the symposium to continue. Everyone is in a hurry to deliver news to the sect, and those who have traveled a little further have already started to leave overnight.Both Minghe Mountain and Xihe Lin's belong to the part of "a long journey", and because Minghe Mountain is only a day's journey away from Xihe, so they chose to go together when they returned.
But what Lin Xiuran didn't expect was that there were two more people returning with them.
Since that day, Yunlin has been pestering Lin Feimo almost all day long, and after she met Chen Yan at the symposium, the three of them walked together every day.Lin Xiuran can be regarded as Chen Yan's uncle, and Lin Feimo is naturally Chen Yan's elder, but the two of them are about the same age and have a friendship. Coupled with the lively Yun Lin, the three of them get along well.
Theoretically speaking, Chen Yan should return to Guangling together with the Chen family, but Lin Feimo and Yun Lin have heard about how much Chen Yan is not valued in the Chen family, so let him return to Chen Yan. At home, both of them were a little worried.
Qingjianmen is closer to Yuyao, Yunlin originally planned to let Chen Yan go with him to Qingjianmen, but Lin Feimo had to go back to Xihe.After Yun Lin thought about it, Chen Yan could be regarded as an in-law of the Lin family, so she ran to Lin Feimo and urged him to bring Chen Yan back to Xihe. In this way, the three of them followed the Lin family and the people from Minghe Mountain to set foot on the protocol.
Lin Xiuran didn't mind these things, and was even faintly happy to see the results.After all, for so many years, Lin Feimo has not had anyone who can be regarded as a "friend" around him. Chen Yan is the son of in-laws and knows everything. Although Yun Lin is still young, she is lively and playful, and she has been with him for a long time. , Lin Feimo had more smiles on his face.
Because of the affairs of the Lin family back then, Lin Feimo has been silent and introverted all these years, but sooner or later something will happen if he suppresses the emotions in his heart. Someone can guide Lin Feimo to relieve the depression in his heart and let Lin Xiuran rest assured. Not a lot.
Yancheng has already received the news and strengthened the protection of Xihe in advance. Not only the city, but also the formations in the entire Xihe County have been checked. In addition, daily patrols have been arranged. Lin Xiuran and his party returned. At that time, what I saw was the well-guarded and orderly appearance of the city.
Chen Yan is usually very calm, but at this time he showed a bit of childishness, looking around curiously and full of praise: "I have long heard that Xihe was one of the most prosperous counties in the cultivation world, and it is really unusual to see it today. .”
Hearing his praise, Lin Feimo felt a little proud in his heart, but said modestly: "After all, he was beaten by the army, and compared to the grand scene in the past, it is still much inferior."
Yun Lin's temper was jumpy, and now she was almost glued to Chen Yan's body, pointing to the food stall by the roadside and said cheerfully: "Ah Yan, do you want to go shopping?"
Lin Feimo knew that Yunlin had been detained at Qingjian Gate in the past and had no chance to come out to show off, so now he was thinking of showing off. After asking Lin Xiuran, he took his two friends to wander around the city to show off his friendship as a landlord .
Although the world of comprehension has become turbulent, Xihe City is still safe. In addition, there are three Golden Core cultivators, so Lin Xiuran didn't try to stop them. He only told them not to run out of the inner city boundary, and let them go.
In fact, Lin Feimo hadn't visited Xihe for many years, but he still had to save face in front of his friends, so he took people directly to the biggest restaurant in the city.Speaking of which, the chef in this restaurant is still the apprentice taught by the cooks Chen Xiao gave to Lin Xiuran back then, and he can cook authentic Jiangnan cuisine.In the past, Yunlin was taboo to eat without food, and it was a rare time when she was able to feast on it, and her whole body entered a state of excitement, but it was Chen Yan who fell silent after taking a sip of the soup.
"Is it not to your taste?" Lin Feimo, who was treating guests in front of friends for the first time, felt uneasy when he saw Chen Yan's depressed appearance, "How about changing to other dishes?"
Chen Yan shook his head, how could this soup not suit the taste?It should be too suitable for his taste, it is clearly the craftsmanship of the head chef of Moling Pingshan Building!As the son of the sheriff when he was young, he was often taken by his father to banquets, so he was very familiar with Pingshan Tower.Later, when he returned to Moling, Pingshan Tower had already changed. Who would have thought that in Xihe, thousands of miles away, he could taste the taste of a long absence again?
"It's just that I was a little surprised when I tasted Moling dishes." Chen Yan said with a smile, "Is the owner of this restaurant from Moling?"
Seeing that Chen Yan did not express dissatisfaction with the food, Lin Feimo was relieved, and introduced: "Although the owner of the restaurant is not from Moling, the cook was taught by Moling. It was a coincidence that my brother went to I happened to go to Moling when I was traveling in the secular world, and when I came back, I brought a few cooks with me, it is said that they are all famous chefs of Moling, although it has only been in business for a hundred years, this restaurant is quite famous in Xihe."
Chen Yan hid the embarrassment in his heart tightly, and then teased a few words: "A hundred years of business, for ordinary people, it has gone through three generations, which is not bad, and it is only natural to accumulate fame."
Yun Lin only cared about eating, and she felt something when she heard what Chen Yan said, and she raised her head and laughed: "A hundred years is three generations for ordinary people, but it is just the snap of fingers for monks like me. I'm afraid it's the same for us monks who look at infinity, right?"
Seeing that Yunlin had some insights, Lin Feimo naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and the two began to "talk" in this way, but Chen Yan saw that the two of them had a very happy conversation, and gradually restrained the smile on his face. He nodded and began to eat food in silence.
Diet is not necessary for monks. No matter how good the craftsmanship of this restaurant is, it is only cooked by ordinary people. If you eat too much, it will not benefit your practice. Therefore, the three of them got up and left after eating some dishes.
Xihe is located in the Central Plains, so it is much colder than Yuyao Moling and other places in the south of the Yangtze River.Although it is only late autumn, it is already showing a bone-chilling chill. As monks, Lin Feimo and others naturally don't feel the cold, but everyone in the city has already put on thick winter clothes.
Chen Yan observed carefully, and it didn't take long before he asked curiously: "Why are some places in this city warmer?"
"That's true!" Lin Feimo explained, "Xihe is very cold in winter, so formations have been set up in places where mortals live in the city. Although it can't be as warm as spring, it can prevent death from freezing and starvation."
Hearing what he said, Yun Lin also poked out her divine sense with great interest, and she really felt a trace of spiritual energy flowing in the formation, and couldn't help but marvel: "Sure enough, there is a formation working, how big is this formation?"
"It's just a slight change to the formation of the Lin family in the past, it's nothing." Lin Feimo said modestly, but he couldn't hide the pride in his heart.
Chen Yan also echoed a few words of admiration, and the three of them continued to wander around the city.
Lin Xiuran didn't have their leisure time. Xihe had already been destroyed by the demons once, and he really couldn't bear the second demon invasion. Therefore, as soon as Lin Xiuran returned to Xihe, he immediately ordered the whole city to be under martial law. Lin Feimo and the others in the inner city I didn't feel it when I was walking, but the outer city and surrounding areas had already been arranged like iron barrels.
In addition, there is another matter that Lin Xiuran needs to go to verify in person.
For famous families like the Lin family that once flourished, the genealogy registers and the like will be hidden in the ancestral hall for verification, and the ancestral hall of the Lin family needs the Patriarch's Token in Lin Xiuran's hand to open it.Early the next morning after returning to Xihe, Lin Xiuran went to the ancestral hall in person to look for Lin Maofan's life lamp.
Fate lamps are connected with human essence and blood. Fate lamps of different schools and sects are different. The Lin family favors bamboo, so the life lamps are also in the shape of bamboo joints, very delicate, but now most of the originally brightly lit ancestral halls have been extinguished, and there are a few sparse lights. Seeing Lin Xiuran's heart throbbing.
Lin Maofan is the younger brother of Lin Maozhi, the former Patriarch of the Lin family, so the place where the life lamp is stored is on the side of Lin Maozhi's life lamp. Although Lin Xiuran had already removed Lin Maofan's lineage from the Lin family, there was something hidden after all, so Lin Maofan and Lin Xiu'an Lin Xiuran's life lamp has not been moved, and it didn't take much effort for Lin Xiuran to find the life lamps of Lin Maofan and Lin Xiu'an.
Just before leaving Xihe to attend the symposium, Lin Xiuran came over to check the life lights of the two of them once. Although Lin Xiuan's life lights were very dim at that time, at least they were still on, but now Lin Xiu'an's life lights have long been extinguished. Not even the residual temperature remained.
Lin Maofan's life lamp was still on. Lin Xiuran carefully took the life lamp off the shelf, checked the formation inscription engraved on the life lamp one by one, and confirmed that the life lamp had not been replaced. As for Yun Lang's guess The matter of his "Taoist Companion" still needs to be verified.
The inner hall of the ancestral hall has a place for storing jade plaques. These jade fate plaques are connected to the soul of people, just like fate lamps. After the life card is broken, it is usually buried with the monk himself.
However, because of the catastrophe in Xihe a hundred years ago, most of the life cards had been broken into powders, which were mixed together and difficult to distinguish. After recovering Xihe, Lin Xiuran gathered these powders together with the unidentifiable bones of the Lin family and buried them together.
Lin Xiu'an's fate card has been shattered, but Lin Maofeng's is still intact, corresponding to the life lamp.Lin Xiuran took off the life card and examined it carefully, and soon found something wrong.Although the pattern pattern on the life card is exactly the same as other life cards of the Lin family, after a closer look, you will find that the inscription on Lin Maofan's life card is somewhat blurred.
Lin Maosheng's life card has been swapped.
