Chapter 137 People Can't Be Too Idle Otherwise They Will Be Emo
The old Taoist looked nostalgic.
Recalling the past.
He was not very old at that time.
All we know is that the bull demon lives in the backyard and doesn't come out on weekdays.
He had a very good impression of that person. At that time, life in the Taoist temple was very boring, so he often sneaked into the bull demon's yard to listen to the bull demon telling him some stories about monsters.
Only then did he realize that there were good and bad monsters.
This is also one of the reasons why, while many of his fellow disciples later focused on slaying demons and eliminating evil, he did not have much thought about it.
But later, when the eldest senior brother was out slaying demons, he was plotted against by monsters and was besieged and killed by a group of monsters. The senior brothers got the news and were about to take revenge, but the next day, news came out that all the monsters had been killed.
Only then did they discover that the bull demon had disappeared.
It turned out that the Bull Demon learned the news of the eldest brother's murder and went to seek revenge as soon as possible.
Three days later, the bull demon came back.
The old Taoist only remembered that the bull monster was full of death energy that day and had no vitality at all. After that, the bull monster and the master negotiated in the inner courtyard for almost half an hour, and then he never saw the bull monster again.
Lin Ye was speechless after listening to this story written in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period. How could such a story be related to that beast Huang Niu?
"The reason why I guess the two are related is because the bull demon back then was the eldest princess of the Litian clan."
The Litian clan?
"Ahem, cows are good at plowing the land, but the bull demon clan prides itself on plowing the sky."
Lin Ye understood and thought it was a way to bring honor to himself.
"The Litian clan was exterminated thirty years ago. The yellow ox is most likely a member of the Litian clan who survived by chance. He probably came to Qingfeng Temple to see if the princess left anything there."
Lin Ye was stunned by what Taoist Ding Xuan said, and a scene emerged in his mind.
A calf, carrying a deep hatred for the extermination of his clan, came to Nanjiang Prefecture and Shangyang County through untold hardships, just because he heard that the eldest princess had stayed here in the past, and wanted to find out if the eldest princess had left behind any treasures or methods of cultivation for the clan.
For this, he endured humiliation and suffered the wrath of the wicked...
Damn, then wouldn’t I be the bad guy?
Lin Ye shook his head and dispelled this thought. This was just an old Taoist's guess. Even if it was true, he would not know about it.
"You're shaking your head..."
"Master, I think if your analysis is correct, I sympathize with the scalpers." Lin Ye made an excuse for himself.
"Well, if it is really as I have analyzed, then the yellow cattle has said it clearly, and I will find it for it."
Hearing the Taoist's words, Lin Ye curled his lips. With the Taoist's cowardly and fearful nature, how could he possibly intervene? Those bull monsters dared to call themselves the Li Tian clan, so they must be powerful. And whoever could destroy their clan must be even more terrifying.
He even suspected that the Taoist had guessed it long ago and was pretending not to know, otherwise why would he have left the scalper behind when he left.
"It seems that I can wait until the next time the scalper comes back to test it out."
After leaving the Taoist temple, Lin Ye returned to his own house.
Now that the Taoist priest is back, he can live a peaceful life again, so he immediately sets the mode to idle.
Unfortunately, you can’t beat scalpers by hanging up the machine now.
Lin Ye sighed regretfully and changed the AFK task given to the scalper every day to a big one: shoot at the crooked tree three times a day.
…
…
Return to the real world.
It's been a few days.
This time, Lin Ye did not pause the time in the real world. Sometimes, the time was several times longer than that of others, which would bring him mental fatigue.
Plus, he thought about it and since he had nothing to do recently, he chose to let the time in the real world pass normally.
Back in the real world, Lin Ye immediately picked up his phone to see if anyone had sent him a message. It turned out that he was overthinking, as no one had sent him a message.
"This woman really does what she says."
Lin Ye clicked on Chen Xi's profile picture. Chen Xi had used her honey trap on him that day, but he asked her for too much, so she said angrily, "I will definitely abide by my professional ethics in the future. I will never contact her if she doesn't find me a sponsor ."
After taking a look at Chen Xi's circle of friends, Lin Ye realized that Chen Xi and her best friend went to Shanghai to watch a concert.
Lin Ye didn't understand much about Western music, he still preferred the tunes of folk suona.
Zhong Shan didn't send him any message either, which meant that no information about He Zhiming had been found yet. Lin Ye was well aware of this. It was not easy to find any trace of a person who lived a hundred years ago and was not even a celebrity.
The female ghost didn't give herself a deadline, obviously she understood this.
In this way, Lin Ye suddenly found that he had nothing to do when he returned to the real world?
I used to write articles for my own media to make money, but now of course I don’t need to do that anymore.
Did I have to go back to the other world right after returning to the real world?
Sure enough, there are few people in this world who care about themselves.
Bang!
Lin Ye slapped himself. This guy tends to be emo when he has nothing to do.
I feel sad about autumn every day.
This disease is caused by having nothing to do after eating.
Fortunately, someone called him at this time.
"Advisor Lin..."
"I'm free, please bring him here."
…
…
On the other side, Li Datou, who had just hung up the phone, was a little confused. He always felt that Consultant Lin's tone was a little excited but also mixed with a little bit of grievance.
This shouldn't be the case. I must have heard it wrongly. How could Consultant Lin feel wronged?
As for excitement, this should be the first time that Consultant Lin has accepted a disciple, so it is understandable that he is a little excited.
Quzhou City.
In a residential building in a community, there is a standard family of three, but from some old furniture, it can be seen that the family lives a rather difficult life.
"I have contacted Consultant Lin. He is free now. Let's go and take Tongtong with us."
"Okay, Mr. Li, please take Tongtong to the car and wait for us. My husband and I will come down after we clean up the house."
"Well, as fast as you can."
Li Datou nodded, rubbed Tongtong's head, and said, "Tongtong, you will meet your future master soon. Are you happy?"
"Happy." Tongtong replied with a smile.
Watching her son follow Mr. Li out the door, Tongtong's mother whispered, "How are the preparations going?"
"I raised 30,000 yuan, 20,000 of which was our savings, and the remaining 10,000 was borrowed from relatives."
"30,000, isn't it a little too much? He cured Tongtong's illness, and I heard that practicing martial arts is very expensive nowadays. Many martial arts schools charge tens of thousands of yuan for tuition per semester."
"You know our family's situation. We have spent all our money on Tongtong's medical treatment over the years, and we have borrowed from all the relatives we could."
The man's expression darkened and the woman fell silent.
How much savings can an ordinary working class person have after buying a house and a car?
In order to pay for Tongtong's medical treatment, the car has been sold, and the couple hasn't eaten out in a restaurant for many days.
The reason why this house is kept is for the last use. If the couple really finds a way to cure Tongtong's disease, it will definitely cost a lot of money.
"Give him 30,000 first. Now that Tongtong is well, we can go out and make money. We'll make up for it later."
"Well, that's all we can do."
The couple packed up some things and went downstairs carrying some gifts and fruits bought from the supermarket.
"What are you buying these for?"
Li Datou looked at the things the couple were carrying and frowned. These fruit gifts were not unavailable in Raocheng, and Consultant Lin certainly had no shortage of them.
"We are going to Consultant Lin's house, and Tongtong is going to become his apprentice. We can't go empty-handed, don't you think, Mr. Li?"
Listening to the man's words, Li Datou didn't say anything. Judging from the packaging of those gifts, they were not cheap, and the fruits were also high-end fruits. The reason he frowned was that he knew the couple's situation. Their family was almost empty-handed, so there was no need to spend money to buy these things. Consultant Lin would definitely not care about these things.
However, he also felt that what the man said made sense. Regardless of whether Consultant Lin cared or not, this was an attitude, an attitude of gratitude from the couple.
The poorer the people are, the more they express their gratitude to Consultant Lin by giving these gifts.
People are not afraid of having no money, but they are afraid of having no grateful heart.
After touching Tongtong's head, Li Datou knew even more clearly that from this moment on, the couple had finally come to the end of their hardships. Tongtong was able to have Consultant Lin as his teacher, so his future was limitless.
…
villa!
"Mr. Lin, I have boiled water for you. I have also notified the security guard. I will go to the yard to trim those potted plants for you now."
Lin Ye looked at Wang Quan who was leaving, feeling somewhat helpless.
Tongtong would bring his parents here soon, and he thought that he would have to serve tea to become a disciple, and he couldn't make tea himself, so he called Wang Quan. Originally, he wanted him to recommend a housekeeper, but he didn't expect that after Wang Quan answered the phone and knew the reason, he volunteered to come.
He even took a few property managers to clean up the fallen leaves in the yard. In his words, recruiting disciples was a big deal in ancient times, and there would definitely be many guests coming. Tidying up Mr. Lin's villa can also be regarded as an advertisement for our community.
However, Wang Quan's words reminded Lin Ye that although accepting disciples in modern times is not as grand as in ancient times, this is his first disciple, so some ceremony should still be followed.
After thinking about it, he sent a message to Zhong Shan.
He didn't have many friends in Raocheng, and the only one suitable to come and watch the ceremony was Zhongshan.
…
But it was obvious that Lin Ye underestimated his influence. Before Zhong Shan replied, a guest arrived at the door.
Chen Shanghan, who lives not far next door.
"Mr. Lin, I saw that all the property managers were running to your house, so I asked Manager Wang out of curiosity and found out that Mr. Lin was going to recruit a disciple today, so I shamelessly came to watch the ceremony."
Chen Shanghan walked in with a smile, but Lin Ye knew that Chen Shanghan definitely did not come across the situation by chance. He was a person who had always been interested. Maybe he had already informed the property management in advance.
