Chapter 2 People
In a dilapidated and narrow room, the ragged Lin Jian sat cross-legged on the earthen bed that could barely be called a bed. This house was his home in the slum.
No, maybe it's not home, it can only be called a house.
Since he killed Scar, his feat has quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of the slums. People are so unbelievable. You know, Lin Jian has always been timid in the past. Not to mention killing people, even if he kills a chicken, he will hesitate for a long time. Even those who used to bully him have been looking at him with new eyes since then.
Lin Jian doesn't care about the change of other people's attitude towards him, because his eyes are not in this slum. Since God let him travel through and live again, how can he stay in this ravine all the time?
If you live as a hero, you will also die as a ghost hero!
Lin Jian, who sat cross-legged on the kang, reached out and took out something.
Green and clear, crystal clear, shaped like a round cake, and natural. It is the green jade that attracts the scar to hook when stabbing the scar.
Playing with the jade in his hand may be the only valuable thing on Lin Jian. According to Lin Jian's memory of this life, this jade seems to be the only relic left to him by his unknown parents.
Although he was a killer in his previous life, his nature was not bad. He only embarked on the road of no return to the killer because of the death of his parents since he was a child, forced to live, and then suffered by others.
The two words parents are both kind and strange in his heart, both in his previous life and in this life. Although he hasn't traveled for a long time, his memory and soul have long been integrated with Xiaolin Jian and are no longer separated from each other.
Xiaolin Jian's parents are his parents. The desire for flesh and blood affection has already penetrated into the bones and souls of the two people!
"This jade seems to be of great value. If I really go to the end of the mountain, will I still sell it?" Lin Jian played with the jade in his hand, laughed at himself and sold jade? That's impossible. Parents' things must not be lost!
"The immortals are coming!" The fairy is coming!" •••
At this moment, it suddenly became noisy outside.
"What's going on?" Lin Jian frowned and walked out curiously. Although the voice was noisy, the word "fairy" still clearly spread into Lin Jian's ears.
Lin Jian followed the crowd and went to a dilapidated mountain temple near the slum. Due to old age, the mountain temple has long been dilapidated.
At this time, the mountain temple has been surrounded by people. Even if they can't become immortals, they will think it is a blessing for eight lifetimes to see the beauty of immortals.
"Today, I'm here to recruit disciples. You can send your children between the ages of six and 16. If you are qualified, you can worship the fairy gate to practice. The whole family can ascend to heaven and enjoy wealth and prosperity forever." A cold female voice sounded from the temple and sounded in everyone's ears, as if it were a heavenly sound. Even Lin Jian had a moment of pestaking.
The cold female voice drove Lin Jian's memory. He remembered that there was a transcendental and secular existence in this world. There is such a group of people who can cultivate the power of heaven and earth. Their strength is greater than that of nine cows. They can make mountains collapse, the earth collapse, and the sea roll when they wave their hands. In the eyes of the poor, they are the omnipotent immortals who are beyond heaven and earth.
As soon as they heard that the immortals were coming to recruit disciples, every family was immediately excited and couldn't help sending their children to the mountain temple.
Lin Jian was also extremely excited. He pursued strength and was detached from heaven and earth. Isn't he also fascinated? And he is 14 years old, just in the age range. The experience of the killer in his previous life made him deeply understand a truth. Only when his fist is big enough and powerful can he get what he wants and protect what he wants to protect!
He believes that the law of the law of the jungle is more applicable in this world. His experience in the past few days has made him deeply feel the importance of power.
Without power, it is difficult to walk!
Lin Jian also began to squeeze into the mountain temple. The crowd was already crowded, and it took Lin Jian a lot of effort to squeeze into the mountain temple. Those who were impatiently squeezed by Lin Jian wanted to be angry, but as soon as they saw Lin Jian, they immediately closed their mouths. Of course, all this is due to his amazing feat of killing scars.
In the temple, there were about dozens of children waiting for the test at a glance. After entering the temple, they stood in a row, as if they were photographed by the fairy's momentum. They dared not look up and looked down at their feet.
Lin Jian walked into the mountain temple and stood with others, but he was not afraid and timid of others. Instead, he straightened his chest and raised his head, his eyes were calm, and he looked straight ahead without a trace of dodging!
In the mountain temple, in front of the dilapided statue, there stood two people, an old man and a woman.
The old man's hair is pale, his body is slightly crescent, and his face is wrinkled, but his eyes are not cloudy at all, and his eyes are bright and exciting.
The woman is dressed like snow, and her skin is like fat, as if she is covered by light clouds and the moon, floating like a flowing wind and snow, but her face is unusually cold, like an iceberg that has not melted for thousands of years, and the air around her is full of coldness.
The eyes of the woman in white glanced at the many young children in the temple one by one. Lin Jian did not see it. When the woman in white glanced at him, there was a trace of strange color. It seemed that he did not expect that in this slum, there were still people who dared to look directly at her, although the trace of strange color just flashed away.
"Lao Xu, help them test their talents." The voice of the woman in white is still cold.
"Yes, Miss Ruoxuan." Old man Xu answered respectfully.
"If you want to enter the sect to practice, you must first test your qualifications. If the qualification is not closed, you can't practice, and you can't follow us to enter this sect." Lao Xu stood in front of many children and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous. Relax and leave the qualification test to me."
Then, Lao Xu began to test their qualifications one by one from left to right.
Lin Jian's eyes also moved with Lao Xu's movements. According to Lin Jian's observation, the old man tested his qualifications, just like an old Chinese medicine doctor on earth to see a doctor for others. He just grabbed their hand and then closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something. Other than that, Lao Xu did nothing.
One minute later, Lao Xu let go of his hand and walked to another person to test everyone's qualifications in the same way.
However, Lin Jian observed that every time Lao Xu let go of a person's hand, his eyes would show a trace of disappointment. Although it was just a flash, the more disappointed he went to the back, the disappointment in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Finally, Lao Xu came to Lin Jian and began to test Lin Jian's qualifications.
Although Lao Xu closed his eyes, there was still a look to observe. In this minute, Lin Jian stared at Lao Xu's expression. He obviously noticed three changes in Lao Xu's expression in this minute, first disappointed, then surprised, but finally opened his eyes and was still a little disappointed.
Lao Xu tested several more people until the last one was tested, and his eyes were still disappointed.
"Old Xu, how's it going? How many people can practice? The woman in white asked.
"Alas, the situation is not good. Seriously, no one is suitable. If it is reluctant, only he is barely qualified." Lao Xu pointed to Lin Jian, "It's just a pity that his talent is mediocre. Even if he embarks on a journey of cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make achievements in the future. After decades of practice, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything. Lao Xu shook his head and sighed.
Lin Jian's heart sank, and he finally understood why Lao Xu had changed three expressions before.
"Sure enough, how can there be a cultivation genius in the slums? If it hadn't been for the helplessness, I wouldn't have come to such a slum to choose disciples..." Ruoxuan sighed softly, "Lao Xu, let's go."
"Fairy, what about me?" Seeing that Ruoxuan and Lao Xu seemed to have a tendency to give up on him, Lin Jian said anxiously.
"You? Your qualifications are mediocre. Even if you enter this family to practice, it will be difficult to make a living. Don't be delusional. It's more suitable for you to be an ordinary mortal. Ruoxuan said lightly.
Didn't Grandpa Xu say that I could practice? Ask the fairy to take me into the fairy gate. I will work hard to practice. If my talent is poor, I will pay ten times more sweat than others to practice. I believe that diligence can make up for my shortcomings, and I will definitely not let the fairy down!" Without any hesitation, Lin Jian quickly knelt down and pleaded eagerly.
"Crowing is not just a matter of diligence. Talent is a matter of cultivation, which accounts for a large proportion." Ruoxuan's eyes flashed a strange color, and the persistence of the teenager in front of her was a little beyond her expectation. The other children failed, but no one was as persistent as Lin Jian.
"Fairy, let Lin Jian practice. You don't know that Lin Jian is very powerful. He killed a powerful bully a few days ago."
"Yes, the bully still carried a big knife and bullied the countryside. Even my father dared not disobey the bully. The bully was much stronger than Lin, but he was killed by Lin Jian in the end."
It seems to be out of gratitude for Lin Jian's killing of the scar, and some other children in the room also pleaded for Lin Jian.
"My lord, I saw Lin Jian kill the bully yesterday. Lin Jian was very smart. He knew that he was not the opponent of the bully, so he killed the bully with a trick. I believe that with Lin Jian's intelligence and cultivation, he will definitely become famous." Some adults outside also began to plead for Lin Jian. Perhaps a fairy can come out in the slums, which is also a matter of making the whole slum a light.
"Let me ask you, why are you obsessed with practicing?" Ruoxuan is more and more curious about Lin Jian. How to use it? What can a 13- or 14-year-old boy do?
"I want to pursue power. I don't want to be looked down upon, and only powerful power can protect what I want to protect. I want to practice magic formulas, seek strength, step on immortality, get rid of secular mortals, and use my power to break all the chains that bind me!"
"Cut the chain of bondage with strength? Lao Xu, bring him up!" Ruoxuan turned around coldly.
