Chapter 76

The next day, just after dawn in the east, the occasional crowing of roosters could be heard. Lin Yonghui had already stood up and walked to the house where Lin Nanjie and Li Chengqian lived, and knocked on the door.

According to the agreement made last night, they had to set off early this morning.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside.

Lin Yonghui originally thought that Lin Nanjie was the only one there, but who knew that when the door opened, there were actually three people standing inside.

Lin Nanjie, Chen Xian, and that mysterious doctor.

Lin Yonghui almost bit his tongue: "Third brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Nanqi glanced at the two of them, and said sincerely, "Brother, these two friends are willing to go with me. If I can't invite the leader alone, they can help me speak up."

Bai Zhang was unwilling to be lonely, and even wanted to try: "As a Taoist, I heard that many of the teachings of the Lotus Sect are also related to Taoism, not to mention that the leader can heal the dead, so why shouldn't I go and pay my respects to him?"

"I want to see how the leader can bring back to life a disease that I diagnosed as terminal."

Lin Yonghui stammered, "I know doctors have a kind heart, but there's no need to go to this extent, right?"

Bai Zhang stroked the fake beard on his chin and said, "No, I must see it with my own eyes!"

Lin Yonghui's expression froze for a moment.

never mind,

Anyway, he is just a liar and it is easy to deal with him.

"Okay, those two people are just two..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Chengqian interrupted him: "And me."

Lin Yonghui gritted his teeth and said, "After all, I'm here to seek medical advice, not to play around."

Lin Yonghui didn't like this guy named Chen Xian at first. He refused to leave the Lin family and followed Lin Nanjie closely, which was almost impenetrable.

Li Chenghuan glanced at Lin Yonghui coldly and said, "I feel really bad for disturbing the Lin family for a few days. I can't watch my uncle die in vain, so I will also go and ask the leader to heal my uncle."

Lin Yonghui was dumbfounded.

no!

What is the relationship between him and the Lin family?

Does he need to worry about it?

He was about to refuse when he heard Lin Nanzhen say, "Brother, let him come along. He...is not very smart. Maybe the Lotus Sect Leader can give him some advice."

After Lin Nanjie finished speaking, Li Chengqian and Lin Yonghui were both stunned.

Lin Nanjie seemed to be afraid that Li Chengqian would be angry, so she turned around and tried to soothe him with her eyes.

[I told Lin Yonghui all this, it's just a temporary solution. The emperor is wise and powerful, he won't blame me.]

Li Chengqian stared at Lin Nanjie's chattering mouth with a fake smile, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You're right... I hit my head when I was a child, so I need to ask the leader to take a look."

Lin Yonghui touched the back of his head.

Wow, it turns out he is a fool.

No wonder he has been so quiet these two days.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's set off early."

Before setting off, Lin Yonghui borrowed an ox cart from the village, hitched the old ox to it, and took out three black cloth towels, giving one to each person.

Lin Nanjie took the black cloth and looked puzzled: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Yonghui explained: "The Lotus Sect's cave is located deep in the Qingwu Mountain. It is where the gods live. Mortals cannot remember the way there, so they have to cover their faces."

Lin Yonghui was afraid that they would not cooperate, so he said, "Don't be afraid, Big Brother is here, and he will definitely bring you back safe and sound."

Lin Nanqi nodded: "Okay then, what Big Brother said makes sense. I just hope that Master Lianhua is willing to save Dad."

Without saying anything, Bai Zhang covered himself with the black cloth and said, "I am a Taoist priest. It is my greatest wish to see the Lotus Sect Master!"

Li Chengqian was also confused: "In this case, I'd better obey your command respectfully."

Lin Yonghui didn't expect it to be so smooth. The three men didn't ask too many questions and didn't make any noise. They just answered the questions one after another, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After being covered with black cloth, the three of them sat on the ox cart and bumped along the mountain road.

The mountain road was bumpy, and Lin Nanjie's eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth, blocking out the skylight, and he could not see anything. When his vision was blocked, his other senses instantly became sharp. He could hear the sound of wheels rolling, the chirping of birds in the mountains, and even deeper in the mountains, it seemed that there were beasts lurking in the dark.

Lin Nanjie felt a little nervous and couldn't help swallowing.

As if sensing his nervousness, Li Chenghuan quietly grabbed his wrist and gently stroked it twice.

Lin Nanjie's nervous mood gradually eased, but he immediately became worried again.

[I never thought that the Emperor would also join in the fun. ]

[The Lotus Cult was so secretive, originally it was planning a rebellion, its goal was to take the Emperor's head, now isn't it just sending its head away? ]

Lin Nanqi had a resentful look on his face.

[If Lord Fang, Lord Wang, and all the civil and military officials in the capital knew about this, even ten of my heads wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.]

Taking advantage of the fact that the three of them were blindfolded, Li Chengqian raised the corners of his lips recklessly.

Lin Nanjie really has him in her heart, otherwise why would she still be concerned about his safety at this time.

Bai Zhang quietly opened a crack and saw the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth curled up. He sighed in his heart. The emperor was now like an old tree that had blossomed. There was only Lin Nanqi in his eyes, so why would he care about him?

His father-in-law was indeed a smart man, and it seemed that the wine he drank was not in vain.

After turning many corners along the way, the ox cart finally stopped somewhere. Li Chenghuan let go of Lin Nanjie's hand.

Lin Nanqi pulled off the black cloth and saw that they had stopped halfway up the mountain. In front of them were a few scattered houses among the green trees and forests.

This place seemed like a small mountain tribe, and as soon as they arrived, someone came out to greet them.

"But you want to become a follower of the Lotus Sect?"

Lin Yonghui stepped forward and said a few words to the young man, who nodded and said, "Come with me."

Lin Yonghui said to Lin Nanjie: "He is Tiezhu, you can call him Brother Tiezhu, he will take you to see the leader."

Lin Nanjie looked at Liu Tiezhu and smiled: "Brother Tiezhu, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Liu Tiezhu saw Lin Nanjie, his eyes lit up. The Lin family was such an unattractive family, but they could actually give birth to such a handsome son like Lin Nanjie. It was truly like a phoenix flying out of a chicken nest.

He looked Lin Nanjie up and down, and seeing that he was completely defenseless and his eyes were full of trust, he was immediately satisfied. He quickly exchanged a look with Lin Yonghui: "Don't worry, leave everything to me."

"Hey, wait, who are these two people...?" Liu Tiezhu saw two people following Lin Nanjie.

Wasn’t it agreed that Lin Nanli would be the only one involved?

Lin Nanjie said: "We are all admirers of the leader. We want to listen to his teachings and ask him to cure my father's illness with me."

Lin Yonghui also said, "Yes."

Liu Tiezhu nodded and said, "I understand. Come with me."

Lin Nan and a few others followed Liu Tiezhu into the village.

The few people walked into the village. It was quiet everywhere, with no one around. Liu Tiezhu said nothing and led them forward until they came to a cave.

Lin Nanjie looked up and had never expected that there was such a naturally formed cave in the Qingwu Mountain, and that it had become the cave residence of the Lotus Sect.

Before I even got there, I could hear the noisy voices.

When we got to the entrance of the cave, we found that there were many people queuing up. At the head of the queue was a man standing on a rock, saying to the crowd, "Don't crowd, everyone has a share!"

"I came first, I came first!"

"Go away, I was here first, messenger, where are my eggs?"

The messenger took out a small straw bag from the basket beside him, which contained five or six round eggs.

Lin Nanjie was stunned.

【Free eggs for attending lectures???】

[So this trick has been around for so long? ]

[It’s like a group of old men and women accidentally walked into a pyramid scheme…]

Although Li Chengzhen didn't know what a pyramid scheme was, he knew it was not a good thing. Plus, the Lotus Sect had bad intentions, so he guessed it was almost right.

Lin Nanqi was originally pushed to the front by the crowd, but was suddenly blocked: "Young people, please make way. It is obvious that I was here first. You must learn to respect the elderly and love the young."

"That's right. We've been waiting in line for half an hour."

This familiar voice startled Lin Nanjie, and he looked at the two familiar figures in front of him in shock.

【Master Fang? Lord Wang? 】

[I was so excited that I actually saw two high officials of the dynasty fighting over eggs! ]

[Who would believe it if I told them? ]

"I was clearly in front, what are you trying to steal from me?" This was the voice of Lord Fang.

"Hmph! I never lag behind others, so of course I should go first." This is the voice of Lord Wang.

"Hey, Wang Shitou, you still want to snatch from me? You're just dreaming!"

Lin Nanjie screamed in his heart: [The insults have all come out! ]

[I know the answer to this question. Because Lord Wang Hui is too stubborn and old-fashioned, the officials privately call him a stone in the toilet.]

Wang Hui sneered angrily: "You are such a strict henpecked woman, you can only talk about it if you can beat me!"

Lin Nanjie was eating melons excitedly: [Oh! I know how to do this question too. Even though Master Fang is always in the brothel, he has to kneel on the washboard every time he comes home.]

"You old thing!"

"You old bastard!"

Li Chenghuan stood behind Lin Nanjie, watching his two ministers arguing over a bag of eggs, feeling incredible.

Did he mistreat them?

The imperial court withheld their monthly salaries?

Besides, which of these ministers doesn't have some other livelihood in private? Why do they lack a bag of eggs?

Li Chenghuan took a deep breath, wondering why all his ministers behaved like this.

Bai Zhang hid behind the two men, but he didn't expect to run into the scene of his father-in-law and Lord Wang fighting over eggs. If he went back and told his wife about it, he would definitely make her laugh out loud.

The messenger who was distributing the eggs was getting impatient: "Is this the end? Are you guys still going to get them?"

"Collar!"

"Of course!"

After the two of them received their prizes, it was finally the turn of Lin Nan and the other three.

The messenger shook his head: "No more, all have been distributed today."

He didn't expect that so many people would come today.

Bai Zhang looked regretful: "I have received all the gifts..."

Li Chenghuan's face was grim. He waved his hand and pointed at Fang Wenjue and Wang Hui: "They have it, why don't we have it?"

The messenger is stuck: ...

Look at these young people in front of me, they actually want to steal the eggs of the elderly?

The world is going downhill! The world is going downhill!

It really needs some serious rectification by the leader!

Who would have known that in the next second, the two people who were still arguing just now put all the eggs in front of Li Chenghuan.

"give."

"Me too."

Messenger: “Ah?”

Then what were you doing with that posture just now?

Are you kidding him?

Still, Lin Nanjie felt that it was inappropriate to compete with the two old ministers for something: "Messenger, we are here to seek medical advice. We will not accept this egg."

Li Chengqian then nodded kindly, looked at the two people who took the eggs back, and asked, "What about you?"

"Uh... us?"

"What are you doing here?"

Fang Wenjue and Wang Hui looked at each other and quickly united their front.

"I'm from a poor family, I'm here to get eggs!"

Li Chengqian: …

What a lie!

Fang Wenjue and Wang Hui: What's wrong with getting an egg? It's not shameful!

The messenger said, "Okay, okay, the eggs have been received. The master's ceremony will begin soon. Come in with me!"

Lin Nanjie and Li Chengqian looked at each other, and it seemed that the main topic was about to begin.
