Tianji's words made Lin Ji let out a long sigh.
Whenever Tianji used other excuses, Lin Ji could think of a way to deal with it, but Lin Ji couldn't let go of the difficult matter, and felt that it was his responsibility.
"Lin is really hard for you to control... Speaking of which, Tianji, you and I have been dealing with each other for several years, right?"
"It's been almost five years. When Lin Batou left the capital, Xiaodao also borrowed Lin Batou's official status to pass through Tongtian Town."
Lin Ji shook his head helplessly.
"Now that Lin thinks about it, he wonders if he had ignored you at the beginning, so many things would not have happened in the future. But then I think about it, with your calculating mind, even if Lin ignored you at the beginning, you would probably Will they come to your door again out of nowhere?"
Hearing this, Tianji smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"When you were spotted by Master Xingchi, you were holding the soul-fixing and demonic pestle in your hand. It was related to the demon-suppressing tower formation, and you could no longer escape."
After a pause, Tianji said softly: "It's all destiny. If there hadn't been a series of major events in the past few years, how could you, Lin Ji, have understood the path of cause and effect? How could you have achieved what you have today? Your path of cause and effect is the most important. Good and evil are all determined by cause and effect. I think most of your current cultivation is the result of the merits gained in the great events in Kyushu later, right?"
Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You are quite clever."
"Many people have speculated that you have broken through to the middle stage of Taoism before you were thirty years old. You have long been noticed by interested people. I'm afraid you don't know that many big sects now ask their disciples to follow your example. I will imitate you and do what is right for heaven."
Lin Ji was stunned.
"Why?"
"Let's see if we can help my disciples understand the path of cause and effect like you do."
"Oh, it's just wishful thinking."
"Xiaodao thinks so too, but it's not a bad thing if someone punishes evil and encourages good."
After the words fell, Tianji wiped his mouth with his sleeve, drank most of the noodle soup in the bowl in one gulp, and then Shi Shiran stood up.
"The four major aristocratic families will negotiate with the four demon kings from the demon kingdom, but this is destined to be in vain. In three to five days, the demon kings will come to Weicheng to fight. The four major aristocratic families are not opponents, but there will be Others came to help.”
"Have you already figured it out? In that case, why don't you tell the four major families?"
"You have no intention of getting involved in this matter. It doesn't matter if you tell me. If you tell the four major families, you will reveal the secret." Tianji pointed to the top of his head, "If you are going to be struck by thunder, Xiaodao can only live for another five hundred years." years."
Hearing this, Lin Ji's eyes lit up slightly.
"Haha, so what you said about Lin Yunshan Mist Cover in the past, have you told it to unrelated people elsewhere?"
】
"Not entirely."
That's it.
But Lin Ji was not angry.
"So now Lin is qualified to be a spectator."
Tianji stood up, straightened his clothes, and then bowed to Lin Ji to the end, repaying the gift given to Lin Ji when they first met.
"Senior Lin has been there for a long time."
After the words fell, Tianji nodded again, and then left the inn.
Lin Ji drank all the wine in his glass, then got up and walked upstairs.
"Shopkeeper, prepare another table of wine and food and bring it to my room."
"Did the guests not have a good meal? The shop did not provide good hospitality..."
"It has nothing to do with you. Didn't you see how many mouths that little Taoist stole?"
...
South of the city, Lu Mansion.
In the main hall, the head of the Lu family, Lu Guangshou, had an expressionless face, except for the slightest glimmer of coldness in the corners of his eyes from time to time.
In front of him was a middle-aged man dressed as a butler and bowing.
That was Yuan Zhaocai, the steward of the Yuan family. He was originally adopted by the Yuan family. Because he was loyal, hard-working and capable, he was highly valued by the Yuan family and was given a surname.
Yuan Zhaocai is also considered a figure in Weicheng. On weekdays, this person usually takes part in the external affairs of the Yuan family.
"Master Lu, this is what my master means. Due to some reasons that are difficult to explain clearly, the marriage between Master Zicheng and Miss Zhao'er has been abandoned. As for the betrothal gift sent to the Lu family... my master said that it only needs The Lu family will just return half of it."
After the words fell, Yuan Zhaocai bent even deeper.
He has no cultivation qualifications. Now he is over fifty and is only in the second level of cultivating qi. Facing the Taoist monk on the opposite side, even if the other party does not deliberately target him, the subconscious power is enough to scare him.
After about three to five breaths, Lu Guangshou finally spoke, but it was not directed at Yuan Zhaocai.
He turned his head and looked at the white-haired but energetic old man beside him.
This old man is none other than Lu Guangmu, the former Duke of Dingguo of Qin Dynasty who resigned from the capital and returned to his hometown.
The lineage of Lu Guangmu was originally a branch of the Lu family in Xuzhou. Later, he moved to the capital and had contacts with the Qin family. After that, the Qin family became successful, and the Lu family made contributions to the dragon, and this contribution continues to this day, thousands of years later. .
But the Qin Dynasty had fallen apart after all, and Lu Guangmu also retired from his official career and retired to his hometown.
"Brother Guangmu, what do you think?" Lu Guangshou remained calm as he quietly looked at his close brother.
The four major aristocratic families in Weicheng all have Dao Tu inheritance, and the four family heads also all entered Taoism through Dao Tu, which surpassed Tian's early cultivation level.
Now Lu family suddenly has Lu Guangmu, who is in the middle stage of Taoism. To outsiders, the Lu family seems to be stronger than other families, but only Lu Guangshou knows that since Lu Guangmu came, he no longer has the one who always sticks to his words in the Lu family. Power.
It is enough for the Lu family to enter Taoism, there is no need for a second one.
Even if you look at Kyushu, there are only a handful of forces with the Taoist realm. One Taoist is enough to ensure the family's inheritance for a long time.
"It turns out that the master of the house has arranged a marriage for my granddaughter." Lu Guangmu had a smile on his face, holding a tea cup in his hand, "But doesn't the master of the house know that my granddaughter has been engaged for a long time?"
"Huh, Supervisor Tiansi Lin Ji, right? I've heard about this person for a long time, and he can be regarded as a rising star with some abilities, but so what? Now that Supervisor Tiansi has been disbanded, he is just a casual cultivator at best, how can he compare with it? The Yuan family, a family that has been passed down for thousands of years?"
Lu Guangshou disagreed with Lu Guangmu's remarks.
"When you come to the Lu family, you naturally have to consider the Lu family. As a descendant of the Lu family, Lu Zhaoer should marry into the family."
Hearing this, Lu Guangmu laughed dumbly, put down the tea cup, stood up and walked out.
"It seems that Xuzhou has been at ease for too long. Brother Guangshou, since the Yuan family has come to break off the engagement, I think I have the same roots as the Lu family, so I won't pursue this matter. But there will always be people who will seek bad luck for you in the future."
Lu Guangshou narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Brother Guangmu is talking about Lin Ji? If this doesn't happen, then Lin Ji can't trouble the Lu family out of thin air. If this happens, if the Lu family and the Yuan family join forces, then who is Lin Ji?"
Lu Guangmu paused, looked back, and grinned.
"Haha, as long as you know what's going on, don't come to show me up when the time comes."
