Tap, tap, tap!
Uncle Fu walked over and stood side by side with Lin Yu, leaning on the railing, and slowly said, "More than twenty years ago, there was a fortune teller at the East Gate of Fengtian City who was always right and could make a fortune with a single prediction! Before the Marshal rose to power, he sought his advice!"
An old blind man?
Lin Yu was deeply moved.
Could this old blind man be my scoundrel master?
At this point, Lin Yu became somewhat interested in what Uncle Fu had said, because the person Uncle Fu mentioned did indeed fit some of the old blind man's characteristics.
Then, Uncle Fu continued, "At that time, the commander-in-chief was the corps commander and was facing a life-or-death battle! Fortunately, with the guidance of this old blind man, the commander-in-chief escaped death, made great achievements, and became a world-renowned hero!"
"After that, the commander always regarded him as a celestial being, and would consult him for divination on everything. Every time, his predictions were flawless! Later, when the commander met his wife, he also asked the old blind man to do a divination. The old blind man said that this woman was no ordinary person. In her birth chart, there was a noble person named Seven Killings in the hour pillar. This was his wife. As the saying goes, Seven Killings in the hour pillar means no children, but when the luck comes to the official position, one will have a son! This is the sign of a unicorn bringing a son!" As he said this, Uncle Fu looked at Lin Yu with bright eyes.
Lin Yu frowned. "What exactly do you mean?"
Uncle Fu said excitedly, "Back then, that blind master had already foreseen that the Second Young Master's birth would be extraordinary. However, whenever a star descends to earth, he is bound to suffer great calamities! Moreover, the old blind man said that you are destined to be cursed by the Child Spirit Curse, and you are a true Child Spirit Curse that only appears once in a hundred years. You were banished to the mortal world because you committed a mistake in the Heavenly Court. Therefore, you will definitely face a life-or-death tribulation in this life. If you want to smoothly pass through the coming-of-age ceremony, there is only one way to resolve it!"
Lin Yu's eyes widened, as if he had realized something. "You mean..."
Uncle Fu nodded and said, "That's right, the only way is to blind you! Only by temporarily sealing your eyes can we evade the Heavenly Court's eyes and ears. This is the only way to protect the Qilin Child!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu trembled all over. "So, Mother didn't blind me because she was afraid of the First Madam. I've been misunderstanding her all along, haven't I?"
He had been wondering about this for many years. Although his mother was frail, she was an extremely strong-willed person. How could she blind herself because of threats from others?
Now everything is clear: what Mother feared most was not the people of the world, but the heavens!
"Mother……"
Lin Yu's eyes filled with tears. He had never resented his mother for this matter; after learning the truth, he felt mostly heartache.
Imagine how much courage it must take for a mother to be forced to maim her own son, and how much heartache she must feel!
Uncle Fu sighed, "Young Marshal, I've said everything I needed to say. In truth, whether it's the Madam or the Marshal, they are the ones who love you the most! They would risk everything, even going against the whole world or against the heavens!"
Lin Yu took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, stopped his tears, and slowly clenched his fists.
He didn't believe everything Uncle Fu said, but he believed at least half of it.
The old blind man must be his cheap master.
There are many disciples in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, but the old blind man only favors him. Now that I think about it, he really did treat him like some kind of prodigy.
Having just received the aura of four emperors in Changbai Mountain, he became even more convinced of this.
Everyone has their own unique talents, and the existence of the Heavenly Court is real!
However, it's hard to say what his relationship with the heavens is.
The Xuanyuan Bow belongs to the Human Emperor. Having obtained this sacred artifact of the human race, he is bound to have many entanglements and conflicts with the Heavenly Court in the future. This is because, according to ancient texts, in ancient times, humans and gods ultimately became adversaries.
However, that's all for the distant future. The years of cultivation are long and uncertain; like an old blind man, no one knows how many years he has lived or what he is upholding. For now, he should just focus on what's in front of him.
National and personal grievances are the main theme of life at this stage!
Lin Yu glanced coldly at Uncle Fu, "I hope you're not lying to me! I will verify this with the old blind man, and if there's even a hint of falsehood, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Uncle Fu did not respond, but simply clasped his hands together and slowly bowed to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu nodded and turned to head towards the study.
Meanwhile, in the room, on the simple chess table, Lin Yuanlong was holding a wine bottle, staring blankly at the ground, lost in thought.
It wasn't until Lin Yu entered that he regained some composure and slowly raised his head.
An aged face, half-gray hair, sparse stubble... Lin Yu felt a pang of sadness for no reason.
Lin Yu didn't know why he felt sad, but at this moment, he finally realized that this old dragon was truly old.
"Yu'er, you're back. Come, sit down and have a drink with Dad!" Lin Yuanlong grinned sheepishly.
Lin Yu walked over, looked at the untouched dishes on the table, and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "If you had eaten even one peanut, you wouldn't be this drunk!"
brush!
He snatched the bottle, sat down, and tilted his head back to drink it down his throat.
Lin Yuanlong couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The father and son sharing a pot of wine was something that had never happened before.
This kid has been yelling that he wants to kill me, why has he changed his tune today?
"Is it strange?" Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile.
Lin Yuanlong was slightly taken aback, then seemed to realize something, shook his head, leaned back in his chair, and said, "It was Uncle Fu who told you something, wasn't it?"
Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, he's already told me about what happened back then!"
What are your thoughts?
"I don't have any particular thoughts!" Lin Yu said. "I'm just a little confused. Why didn't you tell me sooner? Did you have to wait until I unplugged your oxygen tube to tell me?"
"Hehe, hehe, hahahahaha!"
Lin Yuanlong burst into laughter as if he had gone mad.
After a while, the laughter stopped. He shook his head, his eyes looking somewhat dejected, and said, "Yu'er, your father has never told you about my background and past, has he?"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't keep me in suspense!"
Lin Yuanlong chuckled awkwardly, then sighed, gazing into the distance, and said softly, "My ancestral home is Qingyuan in Heilong Prefecture. I was born in a poor, rural area. There was only one brother and sister in my family. We made a living by chopping firewood all day long!"
“When I was young, your grandfather passed away early, and your grandmother was frail and sickly. We were bullied by the village chief, who was a bully, and even had our land seized! The village chief’s son also often harassed your aunt! I often fought with the village chief’s son because of this, but they outnumbered me and I was always covered in bruises!”
When he mentioned his childhood, Lin Yuanlong took a deep breath and his fists clenched.
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback. He really hadn't expected that the illustrious Marshal Lin would have such a tragic childhood.
