Urban Cultivation

Lin Xiang found a job as a translator.

It was a coincidence that when Lin Xiang failed another interview, he returned home dejectedly, and happened to see a translation company looking for a part-time Spanish translator on the Internet.Lin Xiang tried to contact the other party, and directly translated a short article sent to him by the other party on the Internet. After the other party received it, he called Lin Xiang to go to the company the next day. The interview went smoothly, like a formality, saying After a few sentences, Lin Xiang signed a contract, which stated the scope of part-time work and the translation work was paid by the word.

Lin Xiang was curious why the person who interviewed him didn't express his opinion on his appearance. He felt a little strange after interviewing so many companies.The person in charge of interviewing him pointed his thumb to the door plate of the general manager's office, "The guy inside is in his 40s and looks like he's in his early twenties. Where are you now?"

so...

Lin Xiang looked at the office, his face was thoughtful, but he didn't say anything.I only took my first job, asked when the translation was due, and turned around to leave.

Before Lin Xiang went home, he made a detour to a bookstore to buy a Spanish dictionary.Although his vocabulary is not bad, and he can communicate in general, but he will not be able to meet someone who is too professional, so it is better to be prepared.

As for Lu Jingyang's previous mention of asking him to work there, Lin Xiang didn't take it seriously at all. Even if what Lu Jingyang said was true, he would not dare to go.The other party understands that he is very interested in "himself", and Dahei also said that that guy is not a human being, so if he went, wouldn't he be courting death?

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the bookstore. Lin Xiang looked at the guide sign and found the place where the dictionaries and textbooks were kept. After searching down the row, he finally found a Spanish dictionary in the corner. He picked it up and looked through it. Looking at the price, it is still within the acceptable range.He was about to go to the counter to check out, but when he didn't want to turn around, he bumped into someone.A pungent smell rushed towards him, it wasn't a strange smell, neither like nor dislike, it just made Lin Xiang feel his blood surging, followed by a burst of discomfort.How could this person stand behind him, so close? How long has he been standing?

"Feel sorry."

Unexpectedly, the man apologized first, his voice was very gentle and nice, but it was harsh to Lin Xiang's ears.This is completely different from Li Er's gentle voice.Li Er's voice sounds comfortable, like a clear spring in the mountains, this man's voice only makes Lin Xiang feel fake, it is the kind of fake that is perfectly covered up.

"It's okay, I didn't pay attention either."

Unwilling to talk to this person, Lin Xiang turned around and left, went straight to the counter to swipe the barcode to pay.The man was still standing there, his eyes following Lin Xiang's movements.Lin Xiang was sensitive to all five senses, and felt uncomfortably pierced by that gaze. Before going out, he turned his head and glared at the man.A very handsome man, with black hair and black eyes, and deep contours, he looks like a scholar who has been immersed in books for many years, but in Lin Xiang's eyes, there is always an indescribable sense of disobedience.As for why there was such a sense of disobedience, Lin Xiang didn't plan to explore, it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Xiang looked away and walked out of the bookstore.

The man stood for a while, picked up a book at random, checked out and left the bookstore.Walked to the corner and got into a black jeep.The man sitting in the driver's seat turned his head and said, "Brother, where have you been? The second brother and the third brother have been out for such a long time and have not come back. I am waiting so hard that I want to kill someone."

"The third one is probably greedy again. Where's the fifth one?"

The man threw the book on the back seat, loosened his collar, and took off his glasses. With this simple action, his demeanor changed.

"Old five? I went to eat wild food. I told him that there are two 'Zhenshan Taisui' here, and neither of them is easy to mess with. Let him be careful on their territory. We will leave immediately after staying for a while. But he If you don't listen to persuasion, the matter of being chased and hacked back then has probably been forgotten..."

"Don't talk about them, fourth child, I just met an absolute best..."

Li's house in the suburbs of T city

Li Er walked up to the second floor and stopped in front of a wooden door with a glaring Zhong Kui on the door. There was a picture of the Eight Diagrams right above it, and different peace formulas were carved on the walls on both sides. As soon as Li Er approached , then let out a soft cry, and shot out two white lights like sharp swords.The white light merged into a foot-long crimson dragon in mid-air, and rushed straight to Li Er's face.

Li Er didn't move. He raised one hand and only covered it in front of his face. The golden dragon crashed into his hand, as if it had hit an extremely hard barrier, and it was destroyed in an instant.

"Second Young Master."

Although Li Er didn't show it on his face, the man following Li Er also sensed his displeasure.He has been with Li Er since he was ten years old. From abroad until he returned to China, it has been 20 years. I saw with my own eyes that the high-spirited old man has become bedridden with hair all over his head, and he can only rely on the help of the second master. The pills kept him alive, but the second young master seemed to have never changed.Regardless of his appearance or other.

As a member of the Li family who has served the Li family for generations, Li Cheng knows most of the family's secrets. On the surface, the Chinese medicine family moved overseas to avoid disaster, but in reality it is a cultivation family that has lasted for a hundred years.It was the most prosperous in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, but declined in the late Qing Dynasty.He learned from his father that Li Yi was not the real Li family, no one knew what his origin was, probably only the direct descendants of the Li family could know a thing or two, but they also kept their mouths shut.His father just told him that he could not violate this person, nor could he pry into this person's secrets. The existence of this person was the root of the Li family's prosperity and also the source of its decline. From a long time ago, at least before his father was born, This person exists.

He is scary, but the most reasonable.

He is bloodthirsty, but not tyrannical.

The only time Li Cheng saw blood on this man's hands was 15 years ago. That time, he killed the Li family.All the Li family members who tried to prevent the second young master from returning to China by force were slaughtered.So far, only the old man is left in the direct line of the Li family.

Li Cheng had been confused for a while, and with the passage of time, this confusion was gradually buried in the deepest part of his heart.However, he has recently discovered that the second young master has become a little different.Er Shao has always loved to laugh, and Er Shao's smile is so perfect that it feels unreal.There seems to be something more in the second young master's smile recently, an indescribable taste.

Is it because of what?

For a moment, the face of the boy named Lin Xiang flashed in Li Cheng's mind.

Shaking his head, he must have thought too much.I've been with Er Shao for so many years, I haven't seen any kind of handsome men and beautiful women, not to mention that people who cultivate the righteous way have no desires, how could Er Shao be so easily...

However, is the Second Young Master really a person of righteous cultivation?Li Cheng wasn't sure.Just because the second young master acted like him, Li Chengcheng thought it was.But thinking of that bloody night 15 years ago, Li Cheng couldn't be sure again.The Li family is a family of righteous cultivation, but the second young master is not the real Li family.

Li Cheng persuaded himself in his heart, but the more he looked for reasons, the more he felt that he was deceiving himself and others, so that he stood there holding the medicine box and became dazed. Li Cheng called him twice before he came back to his senses.

"Second Young Master..."

Lowering his head, cold sweat dripped from Li Cheng's forehead.

"Forget it." Unexpectedly, Li Yi didn't pursue it, but pointed to the wooden door, "Give him the medicine, I'm afraid it will happen like this... The descendants of the Li family are really in decline. 15 years The ones in front of them are still a little bit different."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Er had already turned around and left.Li Cheng didn't dare to raise his head until Li Er went downstairs.Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door, "Master, I'm Li Cheng, and I'm here to bring you medicine."

A hoarse voice came from the door: "Come in."

Li Cheng pushed open the door, and there was an old man with white hair and wrinkled face lying on the large carved bed facing the wooden door. The old man seemed so weak that he couldn't even lift his arms, only his black eyes were still clear.

Li Cheng walked to the bedside, bent down, and put the medicine box in his hand on the bedside. His eyes casually glanced at an old photo on the bedside table. It was a black and white photo. A middle-aged man with a serious face.Withdrawing his gaze, Li Cheng opened the lid of the box and presented it in front of the old man respectfully.

When Lin Xiang arrived home, Dahei was lying on the window sill. Recently, this place has almost become Dahei's exclusive territory. Lin Xiang never knew that Dahei would like to bask in the sun so much.The ginseng baby was not in the ginseng field in the yard. Lin Xiang guessed that the fat baby must have found a place to sleep again. Sure enough, when he walked into the bedroom, he saw a bulging ball under the bed sheet.

"came back?"

"kindness."

Lin Xiang took off his coat and hung it in the closet, looked at the still empty table, "Qingji hasn't come back yet?"

"No, he will come back when it's time to come back. That guy looks confused, but he is actually smarter than anyone else. With you here, he will be a ghost if he doesn't come back."

Lin Xiang nodded, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook for Dahei. Although he couldn't eat it, it was okay to smell it, right?

While Dahei was eating, Lin Xiang started to do the work he brought back. It was not a difficult thing, but just a document. Although there were a lot of technical terms, it was easy to understand the meaning after looking it up.

Lin Xiang sat in front of the table and buried himself in the dictionary until Dahei urged him several times before he packed up his things and entered the jade slips to meditate.Sitting cross-legged on the grass, he was not in a hurry to get into meditation. According to this progress, it is estimated that the data will be sorted out the day after tomorrow, which is two days earlier than the deadline given to him by the company. If he can get the money in his hand, Lin Xiang I think it is also good to do translation work.

I haven't seen calls from home these days. Dad's medicine should be almost finished, right?Waiting to make a call back, and if it works, go to Li Er's place again.Last time Li Yi mentioned Jiuye Ganoderma lucidum inside and outside the words, he has it in his hand now, if he wants it, there is no harm in giving it to him.

As for the dual cultivation and not dual cultivation...

Lin Xiang looked at the white flower bud on his wrist, his face was a little strangely red.
