The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Including Shen Fan, the mood of all the Shen family members is very hard to express.

There was frustration, but also panic, and even more shock. She was shocked that Shen Lianxing had completed such a demanding request within a year without making a sound.

But how is this possible?Of course, Shen Fan told them the content of Shen Yuansi's test long ago. It's hard to say whether the flying magpie really existed, let alone lost.Shen Lianxing was alone, without any reference and help, how could it be possible to complete the task that so many generations of mechanism masters failed to complete?

Most people's first reaction when they heard the content was that it would be good if he didn't die halfway.

They thought that Shen Yuansi was too foolish to believe in such a damned legend, and would rather take the life of his heir for it.I just need to wait quietly, go to Shen Lianxing one year later, and witness with my own eyes that this annoying junior loses the qualification to inherit.

No one believed that Shen Lianxing could succeed.

However, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it. The Shen family saw Shen Lianxing driving the magpie to the ground. That thing is still standing on the top of the Moon Chasing Gate.Its existence is the best evidence, and what other people say is superfluous.

Before Shen Lianxing came back, they could still imagine that there was not much difference between them and him. It was Shen Yuansi who was biased, and this child was lucky. 'genius'.

They thought, just a spoiled child, how capable can he be?Shen Yuansi is dead, let's see who can continue to protect you?

Because they have never seen it before, the Shen family can't imagine that the gap between people can really vary so much.

For example, the top of the mountain and the valley of the sea are not on the same line in the first place, so why fight?What's the point?

It's a pity that most people realize their mistakes after the things have already happened. It's too late to regret it at this time.

The Shen family looked down on Shen Lianxing, but they knew that Shen Lianxing had absolutely no affection for them.They hadn't been friendly to him when he was a child, and when he grew up, they made frequent mistakes and tossed about in every possible way, and even broke his arm when he was unprepared.If Shen Lianxing didn't hate them, who else could he hate?

Everyone here is responsible for Shen Lianxing's brutal growth into what he is now.The Shen family in the main house judged others by themselves, and it was expected that he would never treat himself kindly after becoming the head of the house. Those who were not very firm in mind had already begun to feel hopeless in advance.

The Shen family bowed, and Shen Lianxing crossed his arms, looked at with a half-smile, and didn't speak.

The longer he remained silent, the more flustered the Shen family became, especially a few of them, their bodies shook unnaturally, their heads buried lower and lower, and they were extremely tired, but they never dared to take the risk of raising their heads to see the face of the new young Patriarch. on the expression.

It may also be that I dare not, and have a guilty conscience.

In the end, it was Shen Fan who looked left and right, put his mind to the side, slowly straightened his waist, and whispered to Shen Lianxing: "Lianxing..."

Shen Lianxing raised his eyebrows: "What did you call me?"

Shen Fan: "... Patriarch."

Shen Lianxing finally responded: "Well, what?"

Shen Fan was hesitant, and he was not willing to offend Shen Lianxing when things got to this point. Unfortunately, the bunch of things behind him were more useless than the next, and they couldn't be counted on, and they couldn't be wasted here all the time, so they had to be more cautious and authentic. : "You—everyone has seen your ability. We all support you when we choose you as the head of the house. It's just that there is still a final procedure to go through. In the end, the high priest has to take a look at it. Look at this..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth cautiously, and couldn't stop looking at the flying magpie on the Zhuyue gate behind Shen Lianxing.

Some of the Shen family members around him stood up straight with him, while others didn't. All of them lowered their heads, refusing to make eye contact with Shen Lianxing.

Shen Lianxing glanced around, and saw a row of black heads, like quail drenched in rain, waiting breathlessly for him to speak.

He felt a little ridiculous for no reason.

When he was a child, other children had their own bright and beautiful lives, but he was the only one trapped in this yard, locked up by Shen Yuansi, and his daily routine was to study endlessly, unable to control himself, and could not rest.

He didn't understand why at the time, he just felt that grandpa was too strict, and the rest of the family were too cold, obviously they were relatives connected by blood, but they had to be wary of each other, if they didn't pay attention, they would get hurt.

The courtyard wall of the Shen family's main house is tall, and the place in the house is not small. It looks like a beautiful prison with a long history, and it also looks like a thick armor.It is overprotective inside, but if you want to go out, the outside seems to be full of dangers, making it difficult to make a choice.

Children don't grow up instantly.

Shen Lianxing has lived in vacillations and doubts for a long time. The reason why he can persevere until now is all thanks to his determination since he was a child, which is almost gifted. His goals have always been clear, never wavering, and never confused.

——Since others can't hear him now, then stand in a place where they can hear; since the main house traps you, then simply, it's better to become its owner directly.

Everything in the world is probably like this, either compromise with each other or fight each other, no matter what, there must be a result.

Now that it was finally realized, Shen Lianxing didn't feel the pleasure of the so-called 'revenge'.

Looking around, the moat that once trapped him was just a quagmire that could be seen at a glance; the people who made things difficult for him were all shameless cowards; those people and things that tried to hurt him were actually just innocent The donkey, who had no knowledge and ability, barked twice in a bluff, and found that it didn't work, so it was considered a poor skill.

Quite boring.

It also occurred to him that Shen just didn't ask about the future development of the Shen family, perhaps because he realized that the development of the world is not always satisfactory.As his descendant, if the Shen family lives up to expectations, Shen Lianxing will talk to him.Since Shen Lianxing didn't mention a word, he didn't have to ask more.

The Shen family still didn't make any big moves, the crowd seemed to freeze, and a barrier of silence was erected between them and Shen Lianxing, quiet and full of resistance.

Shen Lianxing didn't want to talk to them anymore, the purpose of coming here had already been achieved, and there was no need for him to stay in the main house any longer.Turning around and leading Yan Jinping out, he mercilessly ordered Shen Fan who followed: "Where's the pigeon? Send one to find the high priest. I'll wait for her in the Zhaixing Tower."

Although he was a bit puzzled as to whether Shen Lianxing had called the name of the Astrology Building by mistake, the Shen family obeyed the Patriarch's command unconditionally. Go find the pigeons.

What a group of Shen family elites, because of their own mistakes, they became a group of servants on their own before Shen Lianxing made a statement, doing some errand chores is nothing, just hope that the new owner will not suddenly think of trouble and make trouble for himself.

Shen Lianxing didn't care.

Yan Jinping kept watching, and only teased him after he walked out of the Moon Chasing Gate: "How does it feel to finally be the Patriarch?"

Shen Lianxing: "...It's okay."

Actually nothing.

On the one hand, the so-called wealth and power were not what Shen Lianxing was after. On the other hand, he has been working hard in this direction with a clear goal, and he has never been confused. Now he has just completed the last step. I am happy, but what can I say? Ecstatic or contented, not to mention.

He didn't choose an easy path, either he would win a big victory, or he would suffer a crushing defeat. Both endings were possible.

Whether you win or lose, the outcome is predictable.

Several people entered Yanjing City again and walked towards Zhaixing Tower.

Shen Fan has always been a talkative person and couldn't stay idle. He thought about it secretly on the way, and felt that Shen Lianxing didn't seem to want to settle accounts with him at the moment, so he pretended nothing happened, and wentssip and said: "Speaking of it, Do you two know? The astrology building has been shut down for the past two months."

His attitude changed quickly, regardless of his true thoughts, he didn't feel unhappy when using honorifics.

Shen Lianxing: "..."

Shen Fan automatically took his silence as the meaning of ignorance, and explained: "It happened two months ago, and no one was allowed in. That night there was a bell in the astrology building, and I followed it to take a look. It seemed that it was Someone in the agency took away a piece of it—such a big thing, and I don’t know how they took it away.”

"...Really?" Shen Lianxing pretended not to know, and hypocritically surprised, "I've been busy for the past few months, but I really didn't pay attention."

Mr. Shen began to talk nonsense in a serious manner. It was really impressive. If Yan Jinping hadn't personally followed him to steal the core, he would have believed it.

He tilted his head and coughed, hiding a little smile from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Fan didn't expect Shen Lianxing to really answer himself, he thought about it: "I don't know who it is, what is it doing to steal that thing... Hey, it's here."

A few people had already walked near the Zhaixing Building, and they saw a human-shaped object in red and colorful standing at the door from a distance. When they got closer, they found that it was the high priest. To be able to wait in Zhaixing Building so punctually, I don't know where she lives.

The high priest was dressed very solemnly today, and his face was covered with oil paint like ghost marks, and his expression could not be seen clearly at all.Finally, she took off the lifeless gray cloak and changed it into a bright blue one, with very dazzling peacock feathers sewn on it, which complemented the red and blue oil paints on her face, like a refined copper body Cloisonné enamel.

It was getting late, and the lights in Yanjing City were turned on earlier, shining on her body, it was gloomy, and all the passers-by were frightened to take a detour, leaving a large area around.

Seeing Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping coming, she was not surprised. Holding her cane, she asked Shen Lianxing concisely: "Finished?"

"Jiuquan." Shen Lianxing took out a jade bottle and flashed it in front of her eyes, "The magpie has also been made, and it stops at Shen's house. If you want, you can go and see it anytime."

The high priest nodded slowly, turned around and opened the door of the Star Picking Tower.

There was a complete silence in Zhaixing Building, and there was no sound at all.Because the core was taken away by Shen Lianxing, even the light was dim, only a little moonlight through the small window, which was better than nothing on the central staircase.

"This way." The high priest is obviously very familiar with the environment in the Star Reaching Building. Even if there is not much light, he can accurately find the location of the stairs. "I can't move in the building recently, so I can only walk up."

The light was too dark, Shen Lianxing thought for a while, and came out with a lantern, followed behind her, looking at the peacock feathers on the cloak of the high priest's back.

She seems to know everything, just won't talk about it.

The author says:

Shen Lianxing: Astrology building?What astrological building, I don't know.What I took away was the core of the Star Picking Building, what does it have to do with your Astrology Building?

Shen Fan: I turned my back on the spot, what am I doing?This is the future homeowner.

Yan Jinping: Pretend, you continue to pretend【Watching a play.jpg
