Old Things
"Old Lin, clan leader Yuan Lin and Mu Zhufeng clan leader Li Yao are here to pay their respects."
With a "creak", the wooden door was pulled open from the inside, and the person who opened the door was Lin Wanfeng.
Lin Wanfeng glanced at Li Yao and Yuan Lin, and said calmly, "Come in."
"Sorry to bother you." Yuan Lin said, and went in with Li Yao.
Lin Wanfeng slowly poured them tea.
Yuan Lin took a sip. It was bitter at first, but then turned sweet, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth. She praised it generously: "Great tea!"
"I made this tea myself when I had nothing to do. It can't be considered good tea." Lin Wanfeng said with a faint smile.
"You did it?" Li Yao pretended to be surprised and said, "I never thought that not only is Mr. Lin unrivaled in formation, but he's also so skilled in tea making."
Lin Wanfeng didn't beat around the bush with them and said bluntly: "Chief Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I will tell you everything I know."
"Mr. Lin is worthy of being someone who followed Li Wu. He is straightforward." Li Yao did not miss any expression on Lin Wanfeng's face, but Lin Wanfeng did not let her have her wish. He looked relaxed, as if Li Yao was talking about an unimportant person.
Li Yao bluntly added a dose of strong medicine: "Mr. Lin, Li Wu and his wife died tragically back then. Don't you really want to avenge them?"
Finally, a trace of emotion appeared on Lin Wanfeng's old face.
"You should also know that within the Five Spirits Holy Realm, the five clans prosper together and suffer together. If one party suffers, no one party can gain absolute benefits. Yinchao is based on virtue, and it is obvious that Li Ze is not a person of both virtue and talent." Li Yao's eyes were shrewd, and she said without hesitation: "If we let him continue, Yinchao will perish sooner or later, and of course the other four clans will be buried with him."
Li Yao's words undoubtedly touched Lin Wanfeng's bottom line. As she expected, Lin Wanfeng's face darkened.
She was gambling, gambling that Lin Wanfeng still had feelings for his old master, gambling that he would not give up the opportunity to cooperate with her.
The atmosphere was tense and suffocating. Although Lin Wanfeng was only a lowly formation master, the two of them felt a murderous aura hanging on their necks, sending chills down their spines.
After a long while, Lin Wanfeng's expression softened and he slowly spoke, "Then what do you think we should do, Chief Li?"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed there was hope.
The three of them chatted in the courtyard for a full hour, and Li Yao finally got a clear answer.
The ancient book that Li Ze received was indeed given by Old Lei, and it was very likely not tampered with. After all, it is not easy to tamper with an ancient book.
Li Yu walked out from the darkness and said respectfully, "Uncle Lin." According to Lin Wanfeng's actual age, it was not an exaggeration for Li Yu to call him uncle.
"When did you come?"
"I came when you opened the door."
"Not bad, there has been progress." The formation master is much more sensitive than the average cultivator in terms of perception. Lin Wanfeng didn't even notice when there was an extra person in the room, let alone the two clan leaders.
"Uncle Lin, you don't have to take such a risk."
Over the years, Lin Wanfeng had been hiding behind the scenes and his situation was relatively safe. Now that he was out in the open, there were undoubtedly many more risks.
Li Yu said worriedly, "I don't want anything to happen to you."
The pleasant expression on Lin Wanfeng's face disappeared in an instant. His voice was as deep as ice and his eyes were stern: "Yu'er, being soft-hearted is a big taboo."
Li Yu was startled and restrained his expression: "Yes."
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. The two men did not notice Li Ling who was hiding in the dark corner of the yard and eavesdropping.
After Li Yu left, Lin Wanfeng sat at the table, silent for a long time.
…
"How are the preparations going?"
A group of dark shadows emerged from the darkness. The leading shadow knelt on one knee and said, "We are ready."
"Lize agreed?"
The black shadow chuckled and said, "Of course. If he didn't help us, how could he still sit firmly on the throne of the Hidden Tide Clan leader? Think back to the past..."
"Alright." Lin Wanfeng raised his hand to interrupt him. "According to the plan, there must not be any mistakes. Do you understand?"
The shadows sensed his impatience and said in unison, "Yes. We will live up to your expectations and complete the mission."
"Go down."
"yes."
In the blink of an eye, the shadows disappeared.
…
A flash of black energy appeared in Lin Wanfeng's hand, and a green dagger appeared in his hand. The gems on the dagger were dazzling and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.
Holding the dagger, the expression on his face was half sorrow and half resentment, making it difficult to see clearly.
Fifteen years ago.
"Brother Lin, the place ahead is where we are going this time. I'm a little tired. How about we take a rest here for a while?" Li Wu has a handsome face, and his blue clothes make him look even more elegant.
Lin Wanfeng pretended not to notice Li Yuan, who was wiping his sweat behind Li Wu, and said with a faint smile, "Okay."
Li Yuan is Li Wu's wife. They are both talented and beautiful, and they are very affectionate in their daily lives. This is an untold story in Yinchao.
"Thank you, Brother Lin."
Lin Wanfeng laughed and said, "You are obviously the master, why do you need the consent of a servant like me..."
"What do you mean by master and servant? I don't like to hear that." Li Wuxiang pretended to be angry. "You are my brother and my military advisor. Why can't I just listen to you? If you say that again next time, I will be very angry with you."
Li Wu ignored him, snorted, and left with Li Yuan.
Lin Wanfeng looked at Li Wu's back, smiled and shook his head. This young clan leader of his was good in every way except that he was a little childish.
"Yuan'er, it's soft here." Li Wu laid out the tea mat and helped Li Yuan sit down. Seeing that Li Yuan's face had turned pale, he said worriedly, "You just recovered from a serious illness and you've been following me around everywhere. I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Li Yuan tapped Li Wu's forehead with her bare hands, her eyes sparkling with stars. "It's okay. Besides... I asked to follow you myself. Don't you think I'm being unreasonable and causing you trouble..."
"How could that be? I feel at ease with you by my side." Li Wu couldn't help but kiss her. "This time, it was urgent. I just missed my child's birthday. When we get back, we will definitely make it up to him. Of course, you also need to rest well and take care of your health."
"Um."
The two of them were flirting with each other. Lin Wanfeng handed them the roasted meat and said resentfully, "Can you two restrain yourself? Can't you see there's someone here?"
"No." Li Wu said and kissed Li Yuan again. Li Yuan's face was thin and turned red.
Li Wu was delighted to see Zhile and teased her with a smile.
Lin Wanfeng stood up with a sour look on his face, moved his butt, and sat in a seat not far from them.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, a cold breeze suddenly blew, carrying a dangerous aura. The three of them immediately got ready and were on guard.
Li Wu protected Li Yuan behind him and shouted sternly, "Who are you? Stop playing tricks here. Come out!"
Leaves fell in the wind, but no one came out. The wind grew stronger and stronger. The next moment, a domineering spiritual power attacked Li Yuan. At a distance of ten feet, the attack was neutralized by the magic circle set up by Lin Wanfeng.
The enemy is in the dark, and they are at a disadvantage. Li Wu stepped forward and said as he walked: "Brother Lin, protect Yuan'er."
Lin Wanfeng nodded slightly.
Without any worries, Li Wu, sword in hand, stepped out of the magic circle to lure the enemy. He had been gifted since childhood, his cultivation higher than that of all the elders in the Hidden Tide, which was one of the reasons why he could become the youngest clan leader in the history of the Hidden Tide.
"What? You don't dare to come out?" Li Wu said disdainfully.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, the wind blew violently, and the sand and dust blinded the eyes.
A group of masked men appeared, and the sky and the ground were suddenly filled with people. The three of them were surrounded in a human-shaped iron cage, and their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.
Li Wu gripped the hilt of his sword, his face tense. These people had been able to surround them without them even realizing it; their cultivation must be extraordinary. Today, I'm afraid...
Li Wu pretended to be relaxed and said, "I wonder what grudge I have against you? Why did you go to so much trouble..."
"There is no grudge or hatred." One of the masked men laughed coldly.
That means he was bribed. Li Wu took a step forward casually, his voice barely audible: "Is that so..."
…

Lin Wanfeng always remembered that evening, the wilds howling, the dead and the unburied. He closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
·
Panqiu Desert.
"Brother, brother! Wait for me!" The young man chased the big guy who was running fast in front of him, shouting until his voice was hoarse.
"Xiao Pan, it's time for you to exercise. Look at your brother..." The big guy stopped and showed off the muscles on his arms.
Sha Pan panted heavily, wiped his sweat with his hand, and said unconvincedly, "Simple-minded but strong-limbed? I don't want that, huh!" He could only grumble under his breath. After all, no one knew better than him how proud his brother was of his muscular body. If his brother heard this, he would definitely be furious.
"Brother, please carry me with you. I really can't walk anymore." Sha Pan did it on purpose. He knew that his brother loved him the most and couldn't stand his unreasonable behavior.
Sure enough, seeing his brother's tearful eyes, Shashi softened his heart and said, "Okay, this is the last time."
"Okay~ bro, I knew you were the best."
Shapan jumped onto Shashi's back without any hesitation.
"Xiao Pan, you still have to practice hard, otherwise what if someone bullies you when I'm not around?" Sha Shi persuaded earnestly.
"Then I will always follow you, so no one will dare to bully me."
"Then you can't always follow me. If I get married, will you follow me too?"
"Then I won't let you get married!"
"Don't let Dad hear this, or he'll beat you up again, hahahahahaha..."
Shapan angrily punched Shashi's sturdy back a few times to show his anger, "You're threatening me with him again!"
The two men played and joked, their intertwined silhouettes gradually lengthening. The sun shone on the boundless desert, covering the uninhabited desert with a golden gauze.
When the two brothers returned to Panqiu's tent, they found someone standing inside, as if waiting for rabbits to come to them, and he happened to catch two rabbits.
Shapan felt the suppression from his bloodline even though he was ten meters away. He quickly rolled off his brother's back, fearing that Shahe would see him.
His brother spoils him, but his father doesn't.
Sha He put his hands behind his back and turned around. His sharp eyes immediately locked onto Sha Pan, who was two heads shorter than Sha Shi. He said sternly, "You're so old, and you're still letting your brother carry you. Aren't you ashamed? Get out of here! You can't eat until you do a thousand squats!"
Sha Pan suspected that his father's eyes were on the back of his head. He put on a bitter face and secretly asked his brother for help.
Shashi stood straight, looking straight ahead, receiving nothing at all.
Shahe was watching there, and Shapan didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise there wouldn't be just a thousand of them. He was very experienced.
After Shapan left, Shahe scolded Shashi without any hesitation: "You too, you still spoil him. He has been spoiled to this point by you, but you still spoil him. I have told you so many times, but you just let it go in one ear and out the other..."
Shahe was so angry that his head was smoking, but Shashi was still scratching his head and smiling foolishly. He was just a fool.
Sha He got angry when he saw his son's row of white teeth. He blew his beard and glared at him, saying, "You too, get out of here. Three thousand of you!"
It's not that Shahe is biased, it's just that Shapan's small body can only make a thousand at most, and the sand and stones will help him complete the rest.
The sand and stones immediately rolled out skillfully.
“No one is worry-free!”
As soon as Shashi left the tent, he saw his younger brother looking at him pitifully. Shashi walked over and whispered as quietly as possible, "If you can't finish the work later, I'll help you. I won't let you go hungry."
Before Sha Pan could express his inner feelings, Sha He came out with a rough face and shouted angrily, "Don't help him!"
The tears that had flowed out of Shapan were immediately contained, and he seriously pretended to do squats with his hands on his head.
