Zha Gong's evolutionary path

The atmosphere became a little stalemate.

Lin Gongru was smiling, but he was determined to see what happened.He folded his arms around his chest, and listened to the sound coming from the house with his ears upright. His concentrated appearance was not much different from the caring but chaotic Elder Nuo.

Ying Moyan looked at his expression as if he was facing a big enemy, and couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that if this famous general knew what he was concentrating on guarding at the moment, would he lose the face he had saved from this world's reputation? Lost everything?

He was the one who brought people in, and it happened to be such an embarrassing moment. Ying Moyan felt that if he didn't drag Lin Gongru away, he would feel sorry for the patriarch both in terms of appearance and morality.

He took a step closer, pulled Lin Gongru's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Believe me, what happened here has nothing to do with what you guessed, General. Do you want to know, is there any way to restrain the brutal weapon in the hands of the traitor?"

Lin Gongru turned his head to look at him, with obvious distrust in his eyes.

"Back when he defected to Zhuo Ling, he stole three treasures from the clan treasury by relying on his identity as the patriarch's relative and younger brother. One day, he can shrink the shape at will, penetrate the body and directly bind the victim's primordial spirit, no matter how much he cultivates. High and deep, there is no chance to break free when you are trapped by the sky-linking rope; the second is the soul-returning mirror, which can copy the / split / body of at least one person or as many as five people according to the mirror owner's appearance, for its driving; the third is the soul-eating whip, It can pull away the seven emotions of people and disperse all the memories of the past. Are there any omissions in the information I said?"

The red-robed and silver-armored general's eyes changed from distrust to surprise, and his eyes gradually darkened.

"Lin didn't talk to you about what kind of items the rebels have in their hands."

Ying Moyan said: "You didn't mention it, and Master Liu didn't have a chance to tell me. The reason why I know is because I happened to be there when he took these three treasures."

Seeing that Lin Gongru raised his eyebrows, Ying Moyan was still clutching his sleeve a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Gongru clasped his wrist with his backhand.

The general's expression was relaxed, and he didn't seem to use any strength, but his five fingers were like iron tongs, firmly grasping Ying Mo's pulse gate. As long as he had the slightest thought of running away, Lin Gongru would directly pinch his life vein and die.

A thought flashed across Ying Moyan's mind, what a quick move!

Lin Gongru said indifferently: "Are you on the scene? You assisted him in absconding?"

Ying Moyan didn't dodge, looked straight at his sharp eyes like knives and arrows, and said with a smile: "What, am I more valuable than our sick patriarch in the room?"

Lin Gongru stared at him for a moment, then glanced at his surroundings again.

The Zhuoling clan's house enshrines the residence of their patriarch in the center with the power of the stars and the moon, and the goal is very conspicuous.Hearing the low panting and groaning from the house never stopped, even if they wanted to shift their minds, they probably wouldn't be able to take their patriarch very far.

Lin Gongru judged the situation quickly, and at the same time, relying on his superior skills, he did not take Ying Moyan, a frail scholar, into his eyes.

He laughed loudly, "Young Master Ying was joking, Mr. Lin specially visited Zhuo Lingzu, but what he embraced was a sincere and friendly heart, what value is not worth..."

While talking, he pretended to hook Ying Moyan's shoulders, and the two brothers seemed to walk to the side.

Elder Nuo and several other clansmen who had been gathered in front of the patriarch's house, only glanced at them suddenly leaving, and soon their minds were re-focused on the ongoing situation in the house, and they had no time to pay attention to him.

Ying Moyan led him to a place where the patriarch's voice could not be heard, and then stopped.

The two of them were leaning against a house covered with pottery wind chimes under the eaves. When the breeze blew by, those strings of wind chimes with holes collided together, making a crisp and melodious jingle sound, quite childish.

Lin Gongru fought on the battlefield all year round, coming and going like the wind, and rarely had the opportunity to stop and listen to the wind of the mountains and rivers quietly; standing side by side with Ying Moyan under the eaves, there was a ringing bell above his head, which was crisp and sweet, and he suddenly Out of focus, I listened to the sound of the wind chime.

Still holding Ying Moyan's wrist in his hand, the man raised his head slightly, facing him, a general who was full of blood and evil, and could crush his clan like powder with a single gesture, without any fear.

Lin Gongru said: "You can confess now."

Ying Moyan looked at him with raised eyebrows.

He has straight eyebrows, smooth forehead, and a deep lake blue dress that hides his waist. He is obviously a weak and slender scholar, but for no reason, he has awe-inspiring righteousness and impartial calmness.

He sneered and said: "200 years ago, the old and new patriarchs alternated. The leader of the rebel army you mentioned, who is also the brother of the current patriarch, refused to accept that the power fell into the hands of his elder brother, and ran away in a fit of anger. Since it is a family heirloom, even if it is stored in the clan treasury, as long as the patriarch does not pursue it, how can we, as outsiders, have the right to make irresponsible remarks?"

Lin Gongru choked for a moment: "A family heirloom...? Then he defected from the clan, and you didn't arrest him?"

Ying Moyan said: "I believe that the spirit clan lives in seclusion and does not interact with the outside world. It is his freedom to go out if he wants to go out. It is also their freedom for other clansmen not to go out and catch him back. Why do we have to force people not to stay in the clan?" people stay?"

What he said was logical, and there was a hint of cunning hidden in his eyes, which was completely different from when he deliberately emphasized "defecting" and "stealing treasure" in front of the patriarch's house just now. He actually wanted to expose the matter lightly. .

The corner of Lin Gongru's mouth twitched slightly, "Are you kidding me?"

"Don't dare, General Lin can check the authenticity of Ying Moyan's words at any time."

Lin Gongru turned his mind a few times. Judging from his words and his reaction to Elder Nuo and others mentioning the traitor just now, it may be an unforgivable treasonous fault in the eyes of outsiders; In other words, he wasn't as resentful as he imagined?

The three violent weapons that gave the emperor a headache are not sacred objects of the Zhuoling clan, but family heirlooms of the patriarch's lineage. It seems that there is nothing that can be put on the line.

If that guy hadn't used it to rebel, everyone would have lived in peace——

Lin Gongru said: "Even if what you said is true, if he uses it to commit crimes, it will not be good."

Ying Moyan said: "If there is nature, there is a way to control it."

Lin Gongru waited for him to finish, but the scholar kept his mouth shut, and his eyes were fixed on his fingers that did not let go for a moment.

He could clearly tell him this information on the way here; but he insisted on delaying it until he entered the territory of the Zhuo Ling tribe before revealing it, and it was still in the situation that he was lingering in front of their patriarch's house and refused to leave. It was difficult to speak out after drawing him away.

Lin Gongru felt sullen for some reason, and felt that she seemed to be frivolous, this little Sanxian from Qinghe Academy, who was frivolous for fun, but in fact, she was a porter and coolie for him for free, riding a horse all the way to send him back to his hometown to visit his relatives together.

"Why didn't you say these things before?"

Ying Moyan tilted her head: "You didn't ask me before."

... Very good, it really is an example of a gentleman's revenge after ten years is not too late.

Lin Gongru had no choice but to let go of the restraint.

Ying Moyan took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, shook his wrist which was swollen and swollen, and rubbed it for a while with disgust in his eyes, without showing any awe of the general on his face.

He looked at him up and down, left and right anyway, the prestige of the Tianhu Warlord has long been washed away by the lake water by the Manxue Lake.

Lin Gongru asked him in a low voice: "May I ask if there is any way to restrain those three, uh, family heirlooms of your patriarch? Can you ask him to take them back in person?"

He still didn't give up on what happened in that room, and wanted to talk to him by the way.

Before Ying Moyan could answer, the door of the house behind them opened suddenly, and a child who looked as big as a 3-year-old human poked his head out.Taking a closer look at the two people standing in front of the house, he jumped down from the steps overjoyed, and hugged Ying Moyan's calf: "Ying Moyan! You're back! When did you come back!!"

The scholar had a cold face just now, but when he saw this tiger-headed and tiger-brained little boy, the clouds and rain immediately opened up on his face, and he showed a warm smile.He leaned down, picked up the baby, turned it around a few times, and said with a smile: "I just came back not long ago, how are your father and father?"

Lin Gongru listened with his ears upright, and saw that he had an undisguised smile on his face, his eyes were as clear as stars, and he was completely different from the way he looked at him coldly.

Slow down, what about your father and father...?

The little baby hugged his neck and bit his ear affectionately: "They said that the patriarch would have a baby. Everyone went to the spring to pray, and left me at home." Martha's silver-armored general asked strangely, "Who is this? Your 'that'?"

Lin Gongru understood something cleverly, stood aside with low eyebrows, and shook her head: "No."

Ying Moyan glanced at him, thinking that he reacted very quickly to this matter.

The little boy quickly turned his attention back to him, and happily pointed to the tinkling wind chimes under the eaves, "The wind chimes you made for me, Maoer Jieer and the others like them very much, can I give them to you?" How many of them are there? I said I would wait for you to come back and ask your opinion before agreeing. "

Ying Moyan smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "If you give it away, it's yours, you decide."

The child was so happy that his face was flushed from the kiss, and he hugged his neck and couldn't help cheering.

Lin Gongru looked like a person in the mountains who hadn’t seen the world for a long time. He was shocked and envious to see him, one big and one small, enjoying themselves. He felt that this kind of scene was almost extinct in the heavenly world, and could only be seen in the human world...

He chewed the phrase "the patriarch wants a baby" several times, startled, and had a vague and strange guess in his mind.

"I'm very sorry to bother you, but there are still important things at the end..."

Ying Moyan turned to him with a smile, and handed the child in his arms to him: "General, do you want to give him a hug?"

Lin Gongru: "..."

After fighting fiercely in his heart for a long time, he warned himself not to be played around by this scholar again, but he couldn't help stretching his arm over.

The little baby was not afraid of life, and crawled along his hand, looking at him sideways, with innocent and defenseless eyes that were not involved in the world.

Suddenly, Lin Gongru was stabbed hard by the pair of pure and unblemished eyes that only children can have. He involuntarily tightened his arms, and gently rubbed his face against the child's cheek.

Because he was in a hurry, the short stubble on his chin hadn't been repaired in the future, and the little baby was itchy and giggled, and couldn't help but be caught by this rare body. Attracted by the armor, he came close and shrank and hid with him, having a great time.

Ying Moyan watched from the side, and suddenly said: "Zhuoling hides from the world, a large part of the reason is to protect these children. Although the heavens are different from the lower realms, most of them are peaceful and joyful, and there are always some corners that cannot be guarded against; if these children are allowed to go outside , people have ulterior motives, and I am afraid that there will be unexpected changes. I think the general's duty is also to maintain the peace and stability of the heavens, so I must understand this."

Lin Gongru threw the little baby into the air, and immediately caught it again. After the child exclaimed, he fell down laughing in his arms, with trust in his eyes.

He was silent for a while, trying to express the bold guess in his heart, and said: "Your patriarch is not sick, but..."

Ying Moyan said: "Yes."

He paused, and then said, "There are no women in my clan."

"..."

There was a long, awkward silence.

Lin Gongru was terrified and thankful that he didn't break in on the spot.

Although each race in the heavenly world has its own rules and customs, and also has its own unknown characteristics, but the characteristic of the Zhuoling clan is really shocking, and ordinary gods would not try to figure it out in that direction.If half an hour ago, he couldn't hold back his desire to find out, and insisted on finding out the truth, let alone being hunted down by the Quan Zhuo Spirit Clan, he would not be able to face his own conscience.

He thought about the ins and outs clearly, and then recalled the abnormal behavior of Elder Nuo and the others. Now it seems that they are all normal, the attitude of the "accompanying" family members.

The dignified general had never felt so embarrassed at this moment. Facing Ying Moyan's clear eyes slightly mocking, he just wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in.

He almost messed up the serious happy event of other people's family.If it wasn't for Ying Moyan's deliberate guidance, he might have directly offended the head of the clan...

But then again, from Ying Moyan's standpoint, it's really not easy for him to explain to him the extremely shameful words "Our patriarch is giving birth to a child" in front of so many elders of the clan.

Looking at the handsome general in silver armor and red robe, Ying Moyan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, a little bit of embarrassment gradually appeared on his face, and then his ears turned rosy, and he knew that he finally understood .Not only did he understand, but the murderous aura that was about to come from the mountains and rain seemed to be cut off halfway by someone, and the smoke suddenly dispersed, and his whole body was replaced by an aura of fidgeting like scratching his head. It can even be said to be a bit embarrassing.

Ying Moyan couldn't help venting his anger, and while venting his anger, he suddenly felt that Lin Gongru, who had such an epiphany and then seriously self-criticized, looked a little cute.

Lin Gongru said: "Nobleman... um..." He searched for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable word to describe his mood, "Indeed, it is different, er, unique... Just... Lin is very ashamed, dangerous It's dangerous to make trouble."

"It's normal for a general to feel disgusted by being different from ordinary people." Ying Moyan said indifferently, "My family hides from the world, and I don't want to be burdened by worldly prejudices. I can form a world of my own."

Lin Gongru shook his head, he was still hugging the baby's soft body, he suddenly felt that this hard-won child felt even more hard-won now, and couldn't help feeling that the world is so big, it really is full of wonders.

"The last general has absolutely no intention of contempt or dislike," he said solemnly, "Master Ying told the young general about such a confidential matter involving our clan, Lin Gongru can only be sincere and fearful, what else is there for?"

Ying Moyan laughed, and when he laughed, it seemed as if all the cold air from before had melted away, and there was warmth in his bright eyes, like spring water in full bloom. "It's just something that has been agreed upon for thousands of years, and it's not a secret. My young playmate, the younger brother of the current patriarch, rebelled half of the clan because he was left behind as the patriarch, and the other half was because he didn't want to continue this life." A life of retiring from the world and devoting myself to raising future generations.”

He raised his eyebrows and said with a loud smile, "He and I are the only two Zhuoling tribe members who are alone outside, General Lin guesses that what he thinks in his heart is similar to what Ying Moyan thinks in his heart? "

This is a way, no one can understand the thoughts of the people of the same clan better than the people of the same clan, the three violent weapons are from Zhuoling, how to respond is also the best of the clan people.

Lin Gongru's thoughts changed sharply, he was about to speak, and then he heard Ying Moyan say: "General Lin's thinking is correct, originally the patriarch could handle this matter personally; since the patriarch is inconvenient at this moment, if the general is willing to entrust it, Ying Moyan will accompany the army The past is also willing. Before I went to Qinghe Academy to study, I was responsible for the protection of the sacred objects in the family, and I probably have a good idea of ​​​​the usage and restraint of those objects."

He even offered to help, Lin Gongru was overjoyed, this trip was not in vain.Although the patriarch was not invited to come out, this scholar who had been silent all the way hid so deeply, and being able to ask him to help is considered to be twice the result with half the effort.

"The only request is the general," Ying Moyan smiled suddenly, and the scholar calculated that he was no less than a military ruffian, "I have been frivolous to a certain number of times along the way, and in the future, I will pay back to a certain number of times with interest. .Looking left and right once is also a look, and looking twice is also a look, and there must be a few pieces of meat—”

Lin Gongru choked for a moment, staring at this frail scholar who was half a head shorter than himself, with a malicious smile on his lips, suddenly felt that this scholar was much more lively than when they first met, maybe it was because he had been bullied all the way so that he had a temper , He deliberately planned to get revenge; or was it his nature, just like his rebellious fellow clansmen who were unwilling to admit defeat?

No matter what it is, it seems that this trip to the south will not be boring.

"Okay," he grinned and approached, this time without the disturbance of water pressure, he could easily get close to Ying Moyan's lips.

Staring at the provocative smile on his lips, he said with a meaningful low smile, "Help me win this battle, every other month in the future, Lin Gongru will visit you at Qinghe Academy, whatever you want , just look at it."

It all started from here.
