The Lin family’s old house was on the edge of Fengyang Town. It had been built for many years. It had been renovated several times but the ancient style could still be seen from the style. Lin Hanyang grew up here. After he successfully started his own business and moved his family to Beijing, the old house became quite empty. But today, in front of the desolate house, there were noisy cars, horses and people.
In the yard, there was a complete set of incense cases, paper money and ingots, and the living room was filled with masters talking loudly. Old Mrs. Lin arranged them carefully, but Mrs. Lin frequently looked at the door, looking expectant and nervous.
The Lin family was considered to be wealthy and powerful in Fengyang Town, so the masters they invited were certainly not ordinary people. They practiced all kinds of strange methods, but they all had the same profound expressions and aloof posture. When they were discussing exorcism techniques with other guests who were also invited, they all sneered at their opponents’ strength and looked down upon them. Therefore, seeing that the Lin family was delaying the banquet, some people became dissatisfied.
A Taoist priest with a compass in his hand and a long beard on his face frowned and looked at his watch: “The auspicious time is here, what on earth is this master doing?”
The goddess who was quite famous in Fengyang Town next to him smiled and said: “I heard that Mrs. Lin also invited quite famous immortal masters from Beijing. I guess she is waiting for them?”
“From Beijing?” As soon as he said this, someone immediately asked, “Is it possible that he is from the Lu family?”
The goddess nodded: “Yes, he is not only a member of the Lu family, I heard that he is also a direct descendant of the Lu family.”
Upon hearing this, other people at the scene who had remained calm at first were filled with surprise, and the conversation that followed immediately changed from how to attract attention to the gossip of aristocratic families. Fengyang Town was located in the south, thousands of miles away from the capital. The cultivators in the town thus had some yearning for the rumored masters in the capital, not to mention that the goddess mentioned the Lu family, which was full of talented people.
Although they were praised to the heavens by the townspeople around them, they were still far behind the level of the Lu family. They couldn’t help but sigh with envy: “The Lin family really spent a lot of money this time.”
But envy was envy. They were still full of expectations to see such a distant person and performing rituals with such a person. Therefore, when they heard the movement at the door, they all looked up.
The male master of the Lin family, who had treated them mediocrely a few days ago, walked in with a rare smile on his always calm face. He explained something behind him diligently and extended his hand to make an invitation gesture. The hostess and the old lady also came forward to greet them with faces full of surprise, and then the crowd finally dispersed a little, and the person that appeared in the center——
Turned out to be a ragged young man?
Behind the young man was a follower with an even more bizarre description. He had messy hair and stubble that hadn’t been trimmed for who knows how many days. He was carrying a bamboo-backed basket half a man’s height and was so slovenly that he looked inhumane.
Everyone was shocked, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was not so difficult to accept. After all, they were from the famous Lu family. Although the young man who headed them had shabby robes, he was surprisingly good-looking, and his every move had an aura that stood out from the crowd. As for the follower behind him, he was slovenly but also in good shape. Surrounded by the crowd so enthusiastically, his expression was still dazed and desolate, showing no signs of admiration for the Lin family’s wealth.
It was still unusual, everyone nodded and thought.
Lin Hanyang introduced respectfully: “Master, this is my humble abode. There are steps at the entrance, so please step carefully.”
As soon as Wei Xi entered the room, he felt cool, which was very different from the steamer-like temperature outside. This coolness was not brought about by the high eaves and tiles. He almost instantly turned his attention to a door not far away.
He smelled the aroma of food, and not just from the table in front of him.
This made him feel happy, so he nodded: “Very good.”
When Old Mrs. Lin saw him, tears welled up in her eyelashes, and she stepped forward and thanked him profusely. Although Old Mrs. Lin didn’t know much, she had heard what happened from her daughter-in-law’s mouth, and she didn’t dare to deal with this young master who was beyond her expectations with slowness or without courtesy.
After thanking him, Old Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and hurriedly called to the nanny: “Aunt Wang, Aunt Li, go to the wine cabinet and get the red wine I brought last time and prepare for dinner!”
Mrs. Lin hesitated: “Master Lu and the others haven’t arrived yet…”
“No wait, no wait.” The Lin family and his wife were not in the mood to care about the Lu family at the moment. Their whole hearts were focused on Wei Xi, “Master Wei, please take a seat quickly.”
While Wei Xi was paying vague attention to the door that was full of gloomy energy, he slowly walked into the house with his apprentice, who was always in a daze. He glanced around and found that the life of the people in this city was indeed richer than he had ever seen before. Not to mention the shiny floor in the house, the neatly arranged furniture, and the cluster of crystal lamps as dense as grape seeds above each head, they were treasures that he had never seen before, that countless people could not find in their lifetimes.
He walked to the inner room with this thought, and suddenly looked to the left with alert eyes.
On the wall at hand, there was a black utensil hanging. The appearance was not that strange, but what was strange was that there were voices coming from inside!
The good-looking woman on the screen slowly announced: “During the National Day, the number of tourists traveling will increase. This station would like to remind all tourists to keep safety first when traveling. Today, a thrilling incident occurred in Fengyang Mountain, a famous scenic spot in our city…”
There was someone inside!
Wei Xi was shocked, and immediately stopped in surprise, reaching behind the artifact!
Unexpectedly, his fingertips immediately felt pain, and his arm immediately became numb, as if he had been bitten by something poisonous. He quickly pulled away and immediately became furious and dared to attack me!
In one fell swoop, the corner of the object was ripped off!
The woman who spoke on the surface of the object disappeared immediately, and she didn’t know where she hid.
Wei Xi rubbed his bitten fingertips and found that he was not poisoned, but he was still angry. Apart from being angry, he also felt aggrieved. Why were the people outside the mountain so unreasonable?
At this time, Mrs. Lin’s gentle greeting came from behind: “Master, please sit down. Why are you standing alone in the side hall?”
Wei Xi glanced back at her, and then caught a glimpse of the magic weapon he had broken on the wall. He didn’t know how to cover it up, so he simply stuffed the corner of the magic weapon in his hand into his mouth.
The familiar taste was bland and unpalatable.
Wei Xi snorted in disgust and disdain at the magical weapon that was arrogant, provocative, incompetent and had a terrible taste.
After Mrs. Lin asked everyone to leave, she went to the kitchen to serve the food. When she passed by the side hall again, she was stunned.
She took two steps closer and patted the TV on the wall: “Why did it turn off suddenly?”
When she took a closer look, her face suddenly became confused and she started to search everywhere——
Why was the TV corner gone?! And Panasonic, what a waste of quality!
