Chapter 106 The mysterious man in the Forbidden City
When Lin Yang followed Lin Wenzhi into the house, the dining table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.
A young nanny was walking out of the kitchen carrying a pot of fragrant ginseng and chicken soup. When she saw the father and son, she hurriedly turned back and shouted into the kitchen: "Madam, the master and the young master are back."
"Yang'er is back?" Ma Xiaolin, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen quickly after hearing the news.
On weekdays, the meals are cooked by the nanny. But today, because Lin Yang went home, Ma Xiaolin personally cooked and prepared a table of dishes. In her words, that is: "Only I know that my son
What kind of food do you like to eat?”
This is indeed the case. The dishes she cooked are all Lin Yang's favorite.
Seeing his son, Ma Xiaolin's eyes suddenly turned red: "Yang'er, you have lost weight. You must have suffered a lot in school, right?"
"Mom, you are worrying too much. I am doing very well in school." Lin Yang's voice was also choked with sobs. After not seeing her for a few months, her mother seemed to have a few more white hairs on her head.
After chatting with Lin Yang for a few words, Ma Xiaolin suddenly remembered the dishes in the pot and said hurriedly: "Yang'er, please sit with your dad for a while. There are two more dishes. When they are ready, we will eat."
Looking at the table full of dishes, Lin Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, there are already enough dishes, there is no need to cook more, right?"
"Not much, not much, just wait, don't worry... Look at how thin you are. During these few days at home, I have to give you a good supplement so that you can gain weight again." Ma Xiaolin was nagging,
As he returned to the kitchen, he started working again.
After a while, the last two dishes were brought to the table, and the family of three took their seats.
Lin Wenzhi took out a bottle of preserved Moutai wine from the wine cabinet. After opening the cork, the rich aroma of wine immediately filled the entire dining room.
"Can you have a drink? Have a few drinks with me."
Lin Wenzhi took out two wine cups, placed one in front of him, and handed the other to Lin Yang.
Lin Yang was a little flattered.
Lin Wenzhi had never allowed him to drink alcohol before, let alone drink together. What happened today? Has the sun risen in the west?
"You two have some food, and I'll pour you some wine."
Ma Xiaolin took the wine bottle, first poured a full glass of wine for Lin Wenzhi, and then stood up to pour a glass of wine for Lin Yang.
While pouring the wine, she deliberately turned aside to block Lin Wenzhi's view, leaned into Lin Yang's ear, and whispered, "Your dad thinks you have grown up and become mature and sensible."
Although he didn't understand why his father changed his mind about him, Lin Yang believed that this was a good thing.
He picked up the wine glass, stood up, and toasted to Lin Wenzhi and Ma Xiaolin: "Dad, Mom, I'd like to propose a toast to you, my son. I wish Dad good health, and may he be able to achieve great success again; I wish Mom eternal youth, and more success."
The younger you live, the more beautiful you live.”
"You kid, you went to college for a few days and your mouth actually became sweeter." Ma Xiaolin was so happy that she almost smiled from ear to ear. She also took a wine cup and poured herself a small glass of wine.
, clinking glasses with Lin Yang together with Lin Wenzhi.
At the dinner table, Ma Xiaolin asked about Lin Yang's college life. Lin Yang also picked up some fun and interesting things to tell, which made Ma Xiaolin laugh so hard.
Although Lin Wenzhi didn't say much, he kept listening carefully. From time to time, he would nod his head calmly...
This dinner took almost two hours to finish.
After the meal, Lin Wenzhi took matters into his own hands and brewed a cup of fragrant tea for himself and Lin Yang each to sober up the alcohol.
When handing the fragrant tea to Lin Yang, Lin Wenzhi, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Since you have decided to study medicine, then study hard. I hope that no matter what you do, you will be the best."
"
Lin Yang nodded vigorously: "Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down."
That night, Lin Yang stayed in the living room, accompanying Lin Wenzhi and Ma Xiaolin until eleven o'clock in the night before returning to his room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Lin Yang let his spiritual consciousness enter the Jade Mountain and began the necessary daily practice of drawing talismans.
About half an hour later, there was a slight sound of opening the door. Immediately afterwards, his door was opened from the outside.
Lin Yang's consciousness immediately returned to his body. He quietly opened his eyes and saw that the person who walked into his room was none other than his father Lin Wenzhi.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Lin Yang didn't say a word and still lay on the bed pretending to be asleep.
Lin Wenzhi walked quietly to Lin Yang's bed without turning on the light.
"This child is still the same as when he was a child. He is not honest when sleeping." Lin Wenzhi shook his head, and while muttering in a low voice, he gently covered Lin Yang with a cool quilt.
Autumn has entered now. Although it is a bit hot during the day, at night, especially in the second half of the night, the temperature is quite cold. If you don't cover yourself with a cool quilt, you will easily wake up from the cold or catch a cold.
Later, Lin Wenzhi carefully picked up a backpack from the ground.
This backpack was carried back by Lin Yang. There were several pieces of clothes in it for a change of clothes.
Although Lin Yang could put everything into Yushan, if he really ran back to the capital empty-handed without taking anything, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so he brought a backpack like this.
Unzipping his backpack, Lin Wenzhi secretly stuffed some money in and said to himself: "It's impossible to go out without money. But in order to cultivate your ability to be independent, I won't give you too much..."
After doing all this, he stood by the bed and looked at Lin Yang for a while, and finally left the room with a faint sigh.
Because the light was too dark, he didn't notice that just when he turned to leave, two drops of crystal tears flowed out from Lin Yang's closed eyes and slid down his cheeks onto the pillow...
In the next few days of vacation, Lin Yang was almost at the same time, running back and forth between home and the Union Hospital where Sun Xiaojun was staying.
In the past few days, Ma Xiaolin stayed at home every day and personally cooked Lin Yang's favorite dishes.
It was obvious that she was determined to make Lin Yang fat and white.
Lin Wenzhi also gave up all social activities and went home on time every day to have dinner with his wife and children.
This kind of life, although a bit dull, is very warm.
On this day, Lin Yang took the time to visit the Forbidden City after visiting Sun Xiaojun at the Union Medical College Hospital.
He had been to the Forbidden City many times before and was no stranger to it. This time he visited the Forbidden City not to appreciate the cultural scenery, but to see if he could find a good ghost here to be his soul envoy.
Although, after becoming a soul cultivator and able to see ghosts, he has seen many ghosts in hospitals, schools, and even on the road. But most of those ghosts are of the lowest level and have no self-awareness.
The ghost soldiers. For Lin Yang, who has already accepted two ghost soldiers as soul envoys, the ghost soldiers are really despising.
The Forbidden City, formerly known as the Forbidden City, was the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the past hundreds of years, countless emperors’ concubines, maids and eunuchs lived and died in it. Maybe, they might even be born.
There are some relatively high-level ghosts.
What's more, in recent years, many supernatural events have happened in the Forbidden City.
For example, in 2019, many tourists saw a supernatural scene of palace ladies in ancient costumes and eunuchs lining up to pass by during a bad weather with thunderstorms.
In addition, there are many creepy supernatural legends about the Forbidden City.
Regardless of whether these legends are true or false, Lin Yang decided to take a walk inside the Forbidden City.
It's best if you can find high-level ghosts. If you can't find them, just think of it as a way to relax.
The former imperial city has now been developed into a world-famous tourist attraction. After buying a half-price ticket with his student ID card at the ticket office, Lin Yang entered the Forbidden City.
After wandering around for more than an hour, Lin Yang's hope was completely shattered.
The Forbidden City was actually completely empty, not even a single ghost, not even the lowest-level ghost soldier.
However, if you think about it, this is quite normal.
Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the formal establishment of the Palace Museum in 1919, no one has lived here, and few people have died here.
More than eighty years have passed. Even if the Forbidden City was filled with ghosts, they would all be gone or reincarnated.
You know, after a person dies and becomes a ghost, he can generally only stay in the human world for seven days. After seven days, he will either die or fall into reincarnation. Only after finding a suitable host can he stay longer in the human world. This time
, or a few days, or a few months, or a few years.
Even if a ghost found a suitable host in the past, in the past eighty years, either the host's spiritual energy has been exhausted, the soul has been reincarnated, or it has been taken away by other soul cultivators.
There was no way it would be Lin Yang's turn to pick up the slack.
"I thought things were too simple..." After shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Lin Yang was not in the mood to continue walking around the Forbidden City, and turned around to walk towards the exit.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing Forbidden City work clothes suddenly stopped Lin Yang and asked a confused question: "Young man, are you carrying antiques from the Ming Dynasty?"
Lin Yang was stunned, not understanding what this man wanted to do.
Although he indeed had a Hongwu Tongbao, he would not be stupid enough to admit it in front of a stranger. He hid the copper coin in the Jade Mountain, so he was not afraid of being seen.
"Isn't this man a liar?"
After having this idea, Lin Yang no longer wanted to talk to this middle-aged man.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in antiques."
After saying these words, he bypassed the middle-aged man and walked toward the exit of the Forbidden City.
The middle-aged man did not continue to pester, but just stared at his retreating back, a trace of doubt flashing across his slightly pale face.
"It's strange. There are indeed no antiques from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty on his body, but why do I sense a trace of the old man's breath in his body?"
An autumn wind blew by, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to fly. The middle-aged man's body actually became transparent in the autumn wind.
After just a second or two, he disappeared completely.
