In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages?

As soon as everyone from the mountain city arrived, the deserted village suddenly seemed crowded.

Chen Lin glanced around and saw that there were at least a hundred people coming from the county seat.

About thirty strong men carried several loads, followed by several donkey carts with a lot of firewood and wine on them.

"Okay, okay, let it go slowly..."

The butcher at the butcher shop and several other people worked together to lift the largest load. The top was covered with red cloth, but it could be seen that it was some kind of large animal underneath.

Uncle Xiang came over with a smile and explained to Chen Lin, who was still confused:

"Alin, today we specially came to your place to hold a flowing water banquet to celebrate."

"Over there is a male red deer that Butcher Zheng specially asked someone to kill for this big banquet!"

"A male red deer?" Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the body covered by the red cloth, "Isn't it 400 to 500 kilograms?"

"That's right, the total weight is five hundred and twelve kilograms!"

"This would be too expensive."

"It doesn't matter, we jointly gave Zheng Tu the money. Anyway, everyone is happy today!"

Uncle Xiang was carrying a small bottle of wine and a wine glass in his hand. He found a place to sit and took a few sips from time to time. After a while, his face became slightly red.

Chen Lin took a look and found that the wine in his hand was still the cold knife he bought for him from Sanniang in the twelfth lunar month of last year.

Everyone in the mountain city began to unload the various items they had brought, set up stoves in the open space, and assembled tables and chairs. All the people were very professional in their work, and it seemed that they had hired cooks who specialized in running water tables.

Little Carrot has grown so big, and he has never seen the village so lively, leading his three little brothers around.

The aunt ignored him and asked other people in the mountain city what happened.

Soon, I learned what happened yesterday from the words of everyone.

The way she looked at Chen Lin suddenly changed.

It's like looking at a stranger, and you can't help but feel alienated.

Especially when I thought about Chen Lin coming back last night, I talked to him. At that time, he looked calm and calm, as if nothing happened.

But he has actually penetrated most of the county...

hiss!

the other side.

While everyone was laughing, they held the things they brought one by one in front of Chen Lin.

Uncle Xiang explained two sentences from time to time:

"This piece of sable fur is the treasure of Lao Ding's shop. It is absolutely of the highest quality. The down is short and soft. When you put it on your body, you will know that the wind will make you feel warmer, the snow will disappear automatically, and the raindrops will no longer wet you... …

Shanshi can only receive a few pieces of this grade of material a year, and it must be coupled with Lao Ding's unique workmanship, otherwise it will not be able to achieve this effect. "

"Eighty taels of silver, three thousand taels sent to Tianjing will not be able to survive."

The voice added after that was quite low.

Only Chen Lin could hear it.

Just after this one was passed, another finished piece of clothing was brought up, roughly in the shape of a cloak, with a crisp and shiny surface, and it seemed like brilliance was flowing every time it was shaken.

"The feather gauze-covered white fox and crane cloak is woven with hundreds of bird feathers. It is also impervious to water and rain. The lining is made of a whole piece of high-quality white fox skin, which is usually supplied to the Tianjing family. …”

Chen Lin looked at these leathers and fabrics with a blank look on his face. He felt them soft and smooth when he touched them, and he only felt they were beautiful when he looked at them.

Uncle Xiang was able to list all the characteristics of his family and tell him bit by bit.

After these two things passed, the gifts that followed were mostly leather materials, including white jade squirrel skin, deerskin boots, and a few pairs of antlers...

It's just not as precious as the previous two.

Later, someone brought bows and knives produced by Dongcheng, big fish caught in Nancheng, and various strange things bought from Xicheng. I heard that they were all popular outside.

Chen Lin took a look and saw an indescribable book filled with physical entanglements.

Ahem...

Then there were several baskets hung with red silk and satin, with many odds and ends inside.

Uncle Xiang chuckled and said, "These baskets are filled with things of little use. They are just sent to fill up the supply. After collecting these things, I will give you exactly one hundred and eight gifts today."

"Just don't dislike it."

"You are so polite!"

Looking at the various objects piled up like a hill in front of him, Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh.

I'm afraid many people in Shanshi didn't sleep last night, busy preparing gifts for him and just waiting to deliver them as soon as dawn.

"Come on, Mr. Lin, try this crane cloak first!"

Sanniang shook off the white fox and crane cloak with feather gauze cover, and then put it on him.

The material is really soft, it hangs just right on your ankles, and the size is just right.

And after putting it on, he immediately had the aura of a noble man from a noble family.

Uncle Xiang's eyes lit up, but when he saw the dilapidated hut behind Chen Lin, he immediately felt a sense of confusion about his family's failure, which made people laugh.

"I'm afraid the small temple behind you is not worthy of your true Buddha."

When everyone heard what Uncle Xiang said, they quickly understood what he meant and smiled.

Chen Lin also looked back and laughed.

The hut at the back was already dilapidated, and he had been too lazy to take care of it, so it was naturally impossible for him to be worthy of the clothes he was wearing.

However, he had equipped the house with complete furniture before, so living there was no longer unbearable.

"It doesn't matter, a few extra things."

He just finished speaking.

A voice came from not far away:

"Isn't that okay? Let people know that our great hero from Mountain City lives in a place like this, and we must not let the people at the Fishing Market Wharf and Dongcheng laugh at us?"

An old figure was helped over by someone.

It was none other than Mr. Zhang whom I had met once before.

Chen Lin said hello and took the initiative to greet him.

The old man took out two deeds from his hand and thrust them into his hands with a kind smile:

"Mr. Lin... everything in Shanshi this time depends on your help. Old man, I have been struggling in Shanshi my whole life, but in the end it didn't make any difference. I almost trusted the villain and harmed everyone."

"These are two house deeds and land deeds in my hand. The location is the small house you went to at that time. Consider it a thank you gift from me. Please accept it quickly."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, please accept it!"

"Master Zhang is grand!"

At some point, the people in the mountain city gathered around him and focused their eager eyes on him.

Well……

Chen Lin looked at the two deeds in his hand, then at the luxurious crane cloak that Sanniang was wearing, and the shabby little hut behind her that was used as a comparison.

I couldn't help but shake my head and smile.

The co-author is waiting for you here!

"Master Zhang, those mountain goods are fine, but I really can't accept this."

He quickly stuffed the deed back, covered the old man's hand, and continued:

"But if Shanshi is busy in the future, I will definitely help if I can. Everyone can rest assured."

"Then Mr. Lin, you'd better accept it quickly, you deserve it!"

Mr. Zhang struggled hard to get out and stuffed the deed over again.

Chen Lin quickly stuffed it back: "I really can't accept this..."

"Take it!"

"Can't accept..."

Back and forth several times.

Until Master Zhang had no choice but to sigh, take the deed back, and then take out a key from his pocket.

"Master Lin, at least take the key and let you live in that house from now on. Even if you don't like it, if you usually stay late in the mountain city, you can go there and rest your feet..."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Lin accepted the key obediently.

Otherwise, the old man in front of me might not give up.

Uncle Xiang walked over with a smile:

"Alin, everything in the house has been prepared for you overnight. You can stay at any time. Don't be embarrassed. You deserve it."

Chen Lin sighed with a helpless tone:

"Uncle Xiang, why are you drinking the wine I gave you today and instead of joining forces with others to plot against me?"

"Haha, it's Uncle Xiang's fault. I'll drink secretly some other time... However, I'm not the only one who thinks so. It's really inappropriate for you to live in a small house anymore."

"How about we guys help you organize and build a new one?"

"Even if you want to build it near the village, you can do it. If you have the money, you will definitely have it."

Uncle Xiang sent a wink.

Chen Lin understood immediately.

This is talking about the tears of the old cows in his hands.

More than a hundred taels of silver can't build a wealthy mansion, but the entire mansion is certainly not a problem, and there is still a lot left over.

It's really good to think about this.

"Then I'll bother you all."

Chen Lin bowed his hands and thanked him.

The topic soon turned to helping him build a house, and the conversation became more and more lively.

My aunt and the family who dug the medicine were watching blankly the whole time, their eyes full of envy.

…

Chen Lin couldn't speak on the topic of building a house.

He didn't know which mason's craftsmanship was good, let alone which family owned this piece of land and that piece of land.

So he simply sat at the door and opened the gifts in the basket with Little Carrot.

Indeed, as Uncle Xiang said, everything here is made up.

There are many medicinal materials, such as forsythia, bupleurum, astragalus...

There are also some strange-shaped rocks that can be used as elegant decorations.

Apparently they were all obtained from various local grocery stores.

Chen Lin was playing around casually, and suddenly his attention was attracted by a black stone.

The black stone was about the size of a palm, revealing a corner of strange lines.

It looks like...

‘Kind of like a rune? ’

He took the stone in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Uncle Xiang noticed his actions, walked over and said:

"Hey, this legend is a strange stone!"

"Strange stone?" Chen Lin raised his eyes and thought of the blue water stone on his body, "What is so strange about it?"

"This is a rock that eats."

Uncle Xiang pinched his chin and organized his words: "It is said that this stone is alive. Whenever it is hungry, it will eat everything around it. Wood, soil, stones... nothing can escape its majesty. Mouth."

"It was first taken home as an ornament, but a few years later, suddenly one day the owner of the house found that the stone had fallen to the ground, and the table where the stone was originally placed was missing."

"The same weird thing happened several more times."

"Then it was treated as a strange stone and sold to the mountain market..."

Uncle Xiang didn't believe the story he told.

Think it's just a fabrication.

After all, no one has ever seen this stone eating.

But Chen Lin felt more and more something was wrong.

because……

He put his eyes on the stone in his hand.

嗗～

Invisibly, spiritual energy gathered around the black stone and was slowly absorbed by the stone...

Which serious stone can absorb spiritual energy?

I woke up at seven o'clock and haven't had any water intake until now. I really can't stand it anymore and my brain feels groggy.
