Zhao Lihe couldn't help but continue to ask: "Brother, you haven't answered my question yet?"
Lin Zhongtian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I answered. This thing is internal force, but I prefer to call it internal energy. As the name suggests, it is a stream of air circulating in the body. Its power is extremely limited and it is useless. At most, it can be used to blow air in the summer, like a large human-shaped electric fan, like this-"
As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian waved his sleeves again.
In an instant, a strong wind blew towards him, causing Zhao Lihe to subconsciously turn his head to avoid it.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "If you are really interested, I can teach you."
Zhao Lihe seemed to be really tempted. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What is the name of this technique?"
Lin Zhongtian replied: "Have you heard of the "Qingjing Gong"?"
"Ah?" Zhao Lihe's eyes widened immediately, and he said in disappointment, "So it's the 'Pure and Tranquility Skill'. I thought it was something like the Nine Yang Magic Skill or the Nine Yin Manual!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhongtian immediately laughed: "Have you practiced it too?"
Zhao Lihe said helplessly: "I have practiced it, but I lost my patience after not feeling the energy for two months. How long did you practice, brother?"
Lin Zhongtian thought about it and said uncertainly: "About... two days?"
Zhao Lihe was dumbfounded: "You already have the energy in just two days?"
Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "The Pure and Quiet Skill has been perfected in two days."
Zhao Lihe: “…”
"Forget it, I'd better just practice my martial arts honestly!"
Zhao Lihe was devastated and dejected.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and took out a jade pendant and placed it on the table: "This is for you."
Zhao Lihe perked up, reached out and picked up the jade pendant, looking at it with great interest, and said, "The magatama pendant that my elder brother gave to the children in the village just now must be this thing. Mine looks bigger. What do you think?"
Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "The jade is ordinary Lantian warm jade, but it stores some life energy. Wearing it for a long time can improve your physical fitness in all aspects. With the energy reserve of this jade pendant, it can at least increase your physical fitness several times!"
“How many times?!”
Zhao Lihe's eyes immediately lit up and he put the jade pendant on without hesitation.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and warned: "Be careful, don't break it, the energy inside will dissipate when it hits the air."
Zhao Lihe nodded repeatedly, and immediately put the jade pendant on his body, using silk as a cushion to protect it.
When it was time for lunch, Lin Zhongtian and Zhao Lihe walked out of the study and came to the courtyard.
The Zhao family’s mansion is not small, but this is the result of continuous expansion in recent years.
At the beginning, there was only a blue brick house here, which was used by Zhao Lihe and Ding Baiying for their marriage. Later, after they had a child, Zhao Lihe spent some money to expand the blue brick house into a three-courtyard house.
Later, Zhao Lihe came out of retirement to assist Prince Xin Zhu Youjian. Every time on his way to and from the capital, he would meet some poor people who could not survive due to various natural disasters and man-made calamities.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Lihe's three views, which were cultivated during his nine years of compulsory education and two years of military service, naturally could not be ignored.
As a result, Zhao Lihe brought more and more people home, and the yard became bigger and bigger.
Today, the Zhao family's mansion is much more magnificent than some of the marquisate's mansions in the capital.
Looking at the children playing and chasing each other in the yard, and the seven or eight servants with worried expressions on the corridors on both sides, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh.
"When I first heard you talk about the village where the descendants of the Qi family army lived in seclusion, I really thought it was just a village. Now I see, it can't be considered a village at all. Even the county town next to it may not be as prosperous as your place, right?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Lihe's face suddenly lit up, and he lowered his voice and said, "My grandfather was engaged in poverty alleviation. After he retired and stayed at home, he liked to tell me stories about his past when he was bored. I have long been familiar with his methods. Now that I have been reborn here, to some extent, I can be considered a professional counterpart."
"Of course, it's not enough to just have the right professional background. Let's put it this way. For the first 20 years of my life, I did nothing but focus on developing the village. I persevered for 20 years and that's how we are today."
Lin Zhongtian nodded thoughtfully and cupped his hands to show his admiration.
Zhao Lihe smiled, feeling satisfied.
He was used to seeing Lin Zhongtian pretending to be cool in front of him, so now he could finally pretend to be cool in front of Lin Zhongtian.
In the yard, Zhao Yian dressed up as a horse using bamboo strips and silk cloth, and wrestled with the fat boy in front of him who was also dressed as a bamboo horse.
On their backs, each of them carried a young boy. On Zhao Yian's back was Pan Yunpeng's legitimate son Pan Guohong, and on the other side was a thin boy with a red rope tied around his wrist.
The two sides seemed to be playing a game of horseback fighting.
There were many friends of the same age standing around, excitedly cheering for both sides.
Zhao Yining stood among this group of little ones, looking enviously at his brother who was surrounded by the crowd.
Lin Zhongtian said with interest: "Your two children, one is a social genius and the other is a social phobic, are quite interesting."
Zhao Lihe looked toward the yard, his face showing the kindness and tenderness of a parent: "I never thought that twins from the same mother could develop such huge differences in personality..."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "It's nothing. Girls should be quieter and boys should be more lively. I like these two little guys very much. Since I came to this world, I have seen many second-generation officials and rich people, but this is the first time I have seen a second-generation rich person..."
When he said the last sentence, Lin Zhongtian lowered his voice and showed a teasing expression.
Zhao Lihe laughed and whispered, "It's easy to meet a second-generation wearer. Just say a word, big brother, and I'll immediately order people to collect detailed information about all the young girls in Hanzhong. I'll definitely select a peerless beauty for you who's easy to give birth to. In the future, you can have as many second-generation wearers as you want. Isn't that wonderful?"
"No, please don't, keep this peerless beauty for yourself!"
Lin Zhongtian rolled his eyes. Regardless of whether he could be attracted to human women, just based on the level of evolution of this body, he would not be surprised if reproductive isolation occurred in the future.
Zhao Lihe smiled and shook his head: "It's enough for me to have Baiying. We will be together for life. This is the agreement between Baiying and I when we got married."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said, "I hope you can still think this way when you sit on the throne in the future..."
Zhao Lihe seemed very confident: "Of course!"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, a beautiful girl with big eyes walked out of the hall, first came to Lin Zhongtian and Zhao Lihe, and said in a soft voice that the mistress had prepared wine and food, and invited the two masters to the table. Then she came to the group of little ones, changed her previous shy look, put her hands on her hips, and urged these playful little guys to hurry up and eat.
Zhao Yian and Pan Guohong looked at her with disdain and muttered, "You little girl, stay out of other people's business."
The girl immediately got furious and grabbed a wooden stick with a silk wrapped head and pretended to hit him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Yian and Pan Guohong ran away, and the girl chased them with a stick.
The two sides were fighting back and forth, running around in the yard. For a moment, the whole yard became a mess.
Other people in this world would definitely feel uncomfortable with this kind of situation where the master is not like a master and the servant is not like a servant. People with a military background would even suggest that Zhao Lihe should rule the family with military law and execute all servants who offend the master's dignity.
But Lin Zhongtian felt that this atmosphere was just right.
At least compared to those so-called wealthy families in the capital, there is a more lively atmosphere here.
Seeing the chaotic situation in the yard, Lin Zhongtian took a step forward, walked behind the little girl who was at a loss in the crowd, stretched out his hand, and picked her up from behind.
Zhao Yining exclaimed and quickly turned her head in mid-air, only to see Lin Zhongtian and Zhao Lihe with smiles on their faces.
After finding out it was his father and Lin Zhongtian, Zhao Yining visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense little body relaxed.
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and found that the little girl seemed to lack a sense of security. He didn't know what experience had led to her personality.
After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian carried her on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Let them make a fuss, let's go back to the house and eat first."
The little girl nodded with a blushing face, then turned to look at her smiling father and lowered her head shyly.
Just after taking a step, Lin Zhongtian suddenly stopped, looking stunned, as if he had seen something unexpected.
Zhao Lihe stopped and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, brother?"
"……nothing."
Lin Zhongtian came back to his senses, shook his head, and his eyes flickered.
At the same time, from his perspective, which was like a god hanging high in the sky, a brand new silver ball of light appeared in the gray sea of fog in the void.
This is the second coordinate directly connected to the void gap discovered by Lin Zhongtian after the world in the movie "The Blade of the Assassin"!
