Chapter 635 Never Forget
Lin Zhengren has been cultivating in the National Dao Academy, and he rarely comes back to the Lin family in Wangjiang City.
How prudent a person must be to arrange formations in a room where he doesn't usually live? Another arrangement is two!
He was afraid that he would be worried about accidents all the time, and he would reserve a way out for himself anytime and anywhere.
If it wasn't for the sudden encounter tonight, Jiang Wang believed that it would be very difficult for him to catch Lin Zhengren. Lin Zhengren, who is so cunning and cautious.
If dealing with ordinary opponents, the first water flood formation is enough.
Used today, it can still attract Jiang Wang's attention and buy time for Lin Zhengren.
And the wall of water and the angle of cultivation are a perfect match.
If it were any other strong person that could be contacted by the Cultivation Corner, Jiang Wang could choose to quickly break through and kill people, and then leave calmly.
But if that person is Du Ruhui...
Jiang Wang had to sigh.
Apart from other things, it is a great blessing for the Zhuang Kingdom to have a strong man like Du Ruhui, who is so close to the world and has a family and country in his heart!
How many powerful people can be used by one!
"If you don't believe it. You can take a bet on whether I can really contact the Prime Minister immediately. If you win the bet, you will kill me without any benefit. If you lose the bet, you will meet the Prime Minister's pursuit and die for me." pay!"
Lin Zhengren looked directly at Jiang Wang: "Your Excellency, do you want to take a gamble?"
In fact, he still has a few magic weapons for body protection, but they are not high enough to make the opponent more cautious, so he didn't use them as bargaining chips. On the contrary, continue to hide, maybe you can still deal with accidents.
"Then why don't you activate it?" Jiang Wang also looked into Lin Zhengren's eyes.
Both sides are testing the opponent's resolve.
Although in terms of strength, Lin Zhengren was no match for Jiang Wang at all. But by virtue of his ruthlessness and prudence, he once again won the right to confront!
"Cultivation Corner is not easy to make. Without great achievements, there will be no more. I have lost a lot tonight, and I don't want to lose any more."
Lin Zhengren said slowly: "However, considering the duration of the wall of water at this intensity. After ten breaths at most, I will directly play the horn of cultivation."
He turned to stare at Jiang Wang, even though he couldn't see Jiang Wang's face through the mountain ghost mask, he seemed to want to firmly engrave the appearance of wearing the mountain ghost mask in his heart: "Now it's your choice. Do you stay here and try to kill me, or run away immediately?"
Jiang Wang was silent.
Time passed slowly but resolutely.
The two people facing each other silently across the wall covered by flowing water.
Eight breaths, seven breaths, six breaths... three breaths...
Jiang Wang raised his hand high, and the flame in his palm directly blasted a huge hole in the roof. He flew away from the hole without saying a word.
Lin Zhengren was indeed a formidable opponent, but it was not worth betting on Jiang Wang's life now.
He chose to give up.
...
The mysterious man wearing the mountain ghost mask left after all.
Lin Zhengren was silent for a long time in the room alone, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair.
Tonight was probably the biggest crisis he had ever faced in his life, because he had no preparations in advance, a sudden encounter, a sudden hostility, and the opponent had the strength to crush him.
But he got through, after all, through this terrible crisis.
Even though... the price to pay is so heavy.
In the room where no one was around, Lin Zhengren closed his eyes and forced back a tear that was about to come out.
Are you sad?
No matter how good-for-nothing Lin Zhengli was, no matter how vicious he was, he was still his own younger brother. The two grew up together, and of course there were moments of innocence. There was a time when real brothers and sisters...
How can you not be sad?
But Lin Zhengren only allowed his sadness to stay at that moment just now, because tonight is not over yet.
He opened his eyes, got up and walked out, his expression had become very calm.
When he reached the door, he stopped.
Because outside the door, there stood a white-haired old man with a stick.
The patriarch of the Lin family all along, his own grandfather.
Lin Zhengren opened his mouth: "Grandpa."
He is a precocious person who looked down on his father since he was very young. The name is Lin Duanxing, but it is neither proper nor good. Apart from drinking and playing with women, he can do nothing.
And the person he was closest to since childhood was the white-haired old man in front of him, his grandfather.
Grandpa is a man of great means. The once penniless Lin family of Wangjiang City grew up under the hands of Grandpa, and became the head of all surnames in Wangjiang City.
Perhaps it was because he was too disappointed with Lin Duanxing. Grandpa was responsible for the education of him and his younger brother when they were young.
People's hearts, tactics, business... He learned a lot from this old man.
Compared with the irresponsible Lin Duanxing, Grandpa really devoted his whole life to the family.
The white-haired old man stood alone outside Lin Zhengren's room without any attendants.
When the Lin clan surrounded the yard and yelled at Jiang Wang, he didn't show up.
When Lin Zhengli was forced to jump into the well, he didn't show up.
But at this moment, he appeared outside Lin Zhengren's room.
If there was anyone in the entire Lin family who could truly understand Lin Zhengren, it was only him, the grandfather.
He looked at Lin Zhengren, and in his cloudy eyes was the wisdom bestowed by time.
"Have you figured it out?" he asked.
Lin Zhengren was silent.
Although he had made up his mind, he still hesitated in front of his grandfather.
"May I ask you if you've made up your mind?" The old man tapped the ground lightly with his cane, expressing his urging.
Lin Zhengren lowered his head and raised it again, his eyes became firm: "Grandpa, I cannot bear such a reputation."
"Zhengren, on the one hand, I am very disappointed in you. On the other hand, I am very satisfied with you."
The old man's white hair trembled slightly in the night wind, and his expression was a little sad: "I am looking forward to your future, and at the same time, I am also sad for Zhengli. Although he is not as good as you in everything, not even as cruel as you."
"Grandpa..." Lin Zhengren opened his mouth.
The old man raised his hand to interrupt him: "Go, make the choice you think is right. Go over there, and I will handle it. Killing a father... will be punished by God."
They all understood that Lin Zhengren was in danger, and once the matter of forcing and killing his own brother was exposed, Lin Zhengren would have no future in the National Academy of Taoism.
No matter how dark and dirty the world is, at least during the day, everyone needs to see the sun.
And with so many people present tonight, it's hard to keep this secret. With Lin Duanxing's personality, don't expect him to consider the "big picture". So there is really only one option...
This choice is the cause of the old man's disappointment and also the reason of his satisfaction.
Lin Zhengren gritted his teeth, turned and walked out.
"Lin Zhengren." The old man said behind him: "Never forget what the Lin family has done for you. Never forget that your surname is Lin. I am under the Nine Springs, and I want to see a radiant Lin family!"
Lin Zhengren only paused for a moment, and then continued to walk forward.
...
That night.
A demon broke into the Taoist temple of Wangjiang City at night to force him to seek the Taoist Jue. At that time, Lin Zhengren, one of the Six Heroes of the National Academy, also participated in the hunt for the demon.
Unexpectedly, that monster actually sneaked into the land of the Lin clan, and wiped out the entire family of the Lin family in Wangjiang City....
