Chen Lin was brought into the hall and felt that the atmosphere was not right.
No, he didn't pay too much attention to it, but he cupped his hands and said: "I am Chen Lin, a loose cultivator from Tianyuan Continent. I heard that all the Taoists gathered here are from Tianyuan Continent, so I came here to pay my respects!"
Sect Leader Lu, who was at the top, had a strange look on his face when he heard this. He stood up and saluted back: "So it's Fellow Daoist Chen. I wonder where he comes from in Tianyuan Continent?"
Although they are a small sect, they cannot just believe what one person says. They have to cross-examine and confirm.
This is what it should be. Chen Lin smiled slightly and said: "I come from Guyuan City in the south of Yan Kingdom. I wonder if there are any colleagues from Yan Kingdom here?"
When Sect Leader Lu heard this, his eyes fell on the old woman below. He remembered that she was the monk from Guyuan City of Yan Kingdom.
The old woman also had a look of surprise on her face at this moment. She was startled when she looked at Chen Lin's face. She suddenly stepped forward and said in a tentative tone: "Is it the second uncle?"
These words made everyone present look at each other in shock.
Chen Lin was also stunned. He looked at the other party carefully and had no impression at all.
"Haha, this fellow Taoist must have recognized the wrong person. We probably don't know each other."
Although the other party only had Qi training skills, he still showed a certain amount of respect due to his senile appearance.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my junior is called Chen Qiaoyun, and I have a second uncle named Chen Lin, which made my senior laugh."
The old woman smiled and stepped back.
Chen Lin frowned, and suddenly remembered that when he escaped from the ancient temple, he did meet a junior member of the original owner's family, who seemed to be named Chen Qiaoyun, who was also a monk.
What a coincidence!
He looked at the other person carefully again, but he really had no memory, so he could only ask aloud: "Are you from the Chen family of Chenji Trading Company in Pingyang City?"
The old woman's eyes lit up, she nodded quickly and said, "Yes, this junior is from the Chen family in Pingyang City."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Lin expectantly.
Chen Lin smiled slightly and said: "Then you really didn't admit your mistake. I am your second uncle Chen Lin!"
"ah!"
The old woman exclaimed, seemingly a little too excited, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. The silent old man behind her also showed a look of surprise.
The several foundation-building monks at the top looked at each other, then stood up and walked over.
The leader of the sect, Lu Donghan, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that fellow Taoist disciples are actually the elders of our disciples. It's great to be recognized by our relatives. I don't know where fellow Taoist Chen is from, and how do you know where our sect is?"
Chen Lin glanced at the other person, then glanced around at the other people, but didn't see any familiar faces again.
He said with a smile: "I have been practicing in other cities. I came here recently. I accidentally heard that there is a gathering place for monks from Tianyuan Continent here, so I came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, I met my niece."
Then, he looked at the old Chen Qiaoyun, raised his eyebrows and said, "I happen to be short of a trustworthy person around me, so how about I ask the sect for a favor and let me take my niece away?"
Sect Leader Lu's expression changed slightly, with a look of hesitation on his face.
The white-bearded old man next to him hurriedly said: "Young Daoist Chen, you are joking. Your niece and her wife are the core members of my sect. How can you leave so easily? Since you are deeply connected by blood, why don't you join our sect and become a guest elder? We are all Tianyuan."
Mainland monks, it’s time to huddle together to keep warm!”
"don't want!"
Before Chen Lin could speak, Chen Qiaoyun next to him immediately stopped him.
When the old man with white beard saw this, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he glanced at her.
Chen Qiaoyun ignored the other party's threat, but did not expose the truth either.
She could see that Chen Lin had a mid-stage foundation building cultivation, but there were five foundation builders in the sect, and the sect leader was still in the late stage of foundation building. If she really wanted to break up, not only would she be unable to leave, but her second uncle would also be put in danger.
So she forced out a smile and said: "Second uncle has a free-spirited temperament. When I was young, I liked to travel around. There is no need for me to feel uneasy because I am tied to one place."
After saying that, he winked at Chen Lin frequently.
At this time, the white-bearded old man spoke again: "There are no restrictions on the elders of our sect. Daoyou Chen can stay here first and leave whenever he wants. Chen Qiaoyun, please don't stop me."
Chen Lin looked at the other person, with a strange look on his face, and said calmly: "My niece is right, I really don't like restraint, so it's better to take the person away."
After saying that, he turned to Chen Qiaoyun and said, "Stop standing here, quickly pack your things and leave with me!"
He had long seen that something was wrong. Although he didn't know the specific situation, Chen Qiaoyun was probably in a bad situation, so he stopped talking nonsense.
I originally wanted to inquire about the information about other Tianyuan monks with these foundation-building monks, but I lost interest in this situation.
Such a tough stance made the white-bearded old man laugh angrily, and said in a cold voice: "Chen Daoyou said in a loud tone, you really think that this is your Chen family, and you dare to usurp the guest and give orders. I want to see how you lead people."
Let’s go!”
Chen Lin laughed when he heard this and said, "Really? Since you said that, I won't leave in a hurry. Let's see what medicine you are selling in your gourd first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the power of Dharma, and golden elixir-level pressure suddenly enveloped the entire audience!
We have already been torn apart, so we need to find out the whole story. If there is any grudge, we must nip it in the bud to avoid future troubles.
"Ah, Jin, Jin Dan Zhenren!"
As soon as the power of the Dharma came out, Whitebeard and other foundation builders suddenly looked horrified and exclaimed.
Chen Lin sneered and put away the power of the Dharma. He ignored them and looked at Chen Qiaoyun and said, "What happened? Tell me now. Don't hide anything. I will make the decision for you!"
Chen Qiaoyun, who was nearly eighty years old, was as excited as a young girl at the moment. He glanced at Baibeard and the others hatefully and said, "Yes, second uncle!"
Then, he recounted what happened before.
"Whose idea was it to let me, a member of the Chen family, make cauldrons for others?"
Chen Lin glanced at the several foundation-building monks and asked coldly.
"Senior, misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding!"
At this moment, Lu Donghan, as the sect leader, could only stand up and said in a harsh voice: "It's not that we have to force the blood of our seniors to make cauldrons, but that our Qingshan Sect has provoked powerful enemies. If we can't find helpers, I'm afraid.
The family is going to be exterminated. As the head of a sect, I can only give my granddaughter to the ancestor of the Chang family as a concubine in exchange for help from the Chang family. Senior, please see me clearly!"
Chen Lin heard this and looked at Chen Qiaoyun.
Chen Qiaoyun's expression changed for a while, and he said: "What the sect leader said is true, but no one knew about my daughter's special talent before. How did it get to the Chang family? I'm afraid someone put me in order to please the Chang family.
Sell your daughter as a gift!"
After saying that, she looked at the white-bearded Zhuji and said, "It's mine, right, Elder Huang?"
The white-bearded old man's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Qiaoyun, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that I leaked the news to the Chang family? I, Huang Dafu, am not that kind of person!"
Chen Qiaoyun sneered, but did not say anything to fight back. Instead, he turned around and saluted Chen Lin: "Second uncle, after all, I am a disciple of the Qingshan Sect, and I was able to leave Tianyuan Continent thanks to the help of the sect master, so even now
I don’t want to care about Fan Zongmen treating me like this, I just ask my second uncle to take our family of three away from here."
Chen Lin nodded expressionlessly and said, "You choose your own affairs. If that's the case, then let's go!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Several foundation-building monks breathed a sigh of relief, with different expressions on their faces.
Lu Donghan showed a hint of guilt, while Baibeard had a flash of resentment in his eyes, and the others were more concerned.
Chen Lin's residence.
"Second Uncle, there was no news about you after you went to the Duanmeng Mountains to collect elixirs. I didn't expect to see you here again. How wonderful it is!"
Chen Qiaoyun's old face still had a look of disbelief, and there were tears in his eyes.
When Chen Lin was a child, Chen Lin liked her the most and often bought her all kinds of good things. He even went to the Duanmeng Mountains to collect elixirs to treat her illness. For this reason, her father was still worried about her until his death.
However, she was less than ten years old when Chen Lin left, and her impression was already very vague. However, the Chen family genealogy she carried with her had a portrait of the other party, which she often looked at, and Chen Lin's appearance did not look old, so
Only then can some of them be vaguely recognized.
Even so, if Chen Lin had given up his name when he was no longer in the Qingshan Sect, she would not have thought about it. In her opinion, her second uncle should have been dead for many years.
Chen Lin looked at the three people in front of him.
The niece of the original owner, whom he had a relationship with once, and the other party's double monk, looked like they were shabby at first glance, and had been hiding behind Chen Qiaoyun, not daring to look at him.
The other one is the other party's daughter. This girl is quite energetic, but she is also in her forties and looks more mature than him.
After looking at it for a while, he smiled and said: "Haha, I didn't expect to see my Chen clan again. Back then, I strayed into a dangerous place in the Duanmeng Mountains and was trapped for nearly twenty years. When I came out, I was already dead.
Right and wrong. Moreover, I provoked many powerful enemies at that time, and I did not dare to go back for fear of bringing disaster to my family. Later, the Qishen Cult was wreaking havoc, and I followed the fleeing monks here."
After a brief explanation, Chen Lin said: "We are all one family and don't have to be restricted. You can stay here with me first, and I will arrange everything from now on!"
Occupying the body of the original owner, the cause and effect has never been understood. Now he cannot shirk this responsibility. Anyway, with his ability, it is easy to help the other party's family of three.
The three of them all looked happy when they heard this.
Since my elders have become real Jindan people, and they seem to be willing to recognize them, life will be much better in the future.
I thought this incident was doomed, but unexpectedly it suddenly took a turn for the worse. It was like a dream!
