Chapter 183 Old Lin
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a sudden knock on the gate outside the yard.
"Who?" Jiang Hongyue and Ji Qinglin looked at each other, somewhat confused.
The courtyard they found was clearly rented directly from the government, so it was impossible for anyone to disturb it.
Jiang Hongyue released her spiritual sense, but saw two mortal men, one old and one young, standing outside the door.
She frowned immediately. Why would two mortals come to her?
She didn't intend to pay any attention. She thought that maybe the two people would leave on their own after knocking for a while and finding no one.
Unexpectedly, the two men were very persistent and still waiting outside, as if they were sure that there was someone inside.
The knocks on the door came in very regularly, and it was obvious that they would not stop until they achieved their goal.
Jiang Hongyue suddenly felt annoyed. She should have set up another isolation formation.
"I'll take care of it." Seeing her irritable look, Ji Qinglin patted her shoulder soothingly and walked outside.
"Who are you? Why are you knocking on the door?" Ji Qinglin opened the door and asked the two in a cold tone.
He had practiced for many years, and even though he had hidden his cultivation at this moment, his overwhelming aura still frightened the two people outside the door.
The old man looked to be in his forties or fifties. He cleared his throat, suppressed his fear, and respectfully lowered his head and asked:
"Sir, may I know if Fairy Cheng and Master Shen are inside?"
As soon as he said this, Ji Qinglin's eyes instantly became sharp, his aura suddenly changed, and his voice also carried some spiritual power: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The little boy, who looked to be no more than ten years old, was startled by his tone and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The old man was much more steady. Although he was also startled by him, he still pretended to be calm and said:
"Sir, please calm down. Decades ago, I had the honor of traveling with Immortal Shen and Fairy Cheng for a period of time, and I received great kindness from both of you.
Over the years, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the people coming and going in the city, hoping to see if I can meet the two immortals again.
It wasn't until today that a servant came to report that he had seen someone who looked very similar to Shen Xianchang that he followed the trail and came here."
The old man was the young man Lin from that year, but now more than 30 years have passed and young man Lin has become "Old Lin".
He once got a set of immortal cultivation techniques from Cheng Shuyan. Although he did not succeed in practicing them, he did benefit a lot from them in terms of worldly martial arts.
Over the years, he has built up a huge family business with his extraordinary skills and has become the largest force in Xuanyang City.
He spoke sincerely, and Ji Qinglin could tell that he was telling the truth.
Since they had no ill intentions and were just two mortals, he slowed down his tone and said:
"They are busy right now and have no time to see you. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back."
Since this person knew that Shen Yunjian and Cheng Shuyan were cultivators, he had been looking for their whereabouts for so many years. I think he was just thinking about getting some benefits from them.
This was actually the cause and effect between Cheng Shuyan and the old man. If it were normal times, he would naturally let the two of them handle it themselves.
But Cheng Shuyan is in critical condition now, and Ji Qinglin is too lazy to waste time with him.
He thought that after he said this, the two would naturally leave tactfully. He was about to turn around and go back, but he saw the old man hurriedly step forward, trying to stop him from closing the door.
Ji Qinglin couldn't help but frown. He had said so much, this person was too tactless!
Lao Lin saw Ji Qinglin's impatience, but he was very persistent.
"Sir, I don't seek anything from Li Wei. I just have something important to tell Fairy Cheng and the others. Please allow me to meet Fairy Cheng and the others."
Since he said so, Ji Qinglin was too lazy to deal with him anymore, so he simply took the grandfather and grandson in, thinking of letting Shen Yunjian handle it himself.
When Old Lin saw Shen Yunjian, he ran forward in surprise and joy, "Master Shen! It's really you! This is... Fairy Cheng? What happened to her?"
Shen Yunjian was a little confused at first, but as memories from decades ago emerged, he remembered the person in front of him and suddenly said, "Are you Brother Lin?"
Old Lin was ecstatic when he saw that he recognized him, but when he saw the young faces of the two, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
"Yes, yes, yes! Immortal Shen still remembers me! Immortal Shen and Fairy Cheng are both cultivators of immortality. They haven't changed much over the years, except that I am already very old.
Let’s not talk about this anymore. What happened to Fairy Cheng? She looks like she’s been seriously injured!”
Shen Yunjian followed his gaze and looked at Cheng Shuyan, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and said with a gloomy expression:
"Ayan is indeed seriously injured. Lin Xiao... Lao Lin, you two should go back first. Ayan won't wake up for a while, so I'm afraid we won't have time to take care of you."
Lao Lin opened his mouth, seeming to hesitate to speak.
He looked at Cheng Shuyan again, whose brows showed a hint of pain, and made up his mind:
"Master Shen, I have something... I originally wanted to tell you and Fairy Cheng." He looked at Jiang Hongyue and the other person beside him, as if he was considering whether to continue.
But then he thought, Cheng Shuyan was injured like this, and the only people who stayed with her besides Shen Yunjian were these two people. I think they must be people close to Cheng Shuyan, so he continued:
"At this point, I'm not sure if this will be helpful to you, so I'll just tell you three and let you guys see for yourself if it's helpful."
Shen Yunjian didn't care much when he heard this, but he didn't care to hear him finish his words, so he said to him, "Lao Lin, it's okay, tell me."
“About twenty years ago, I was being chased by bandits while out and accidentally fell into a cave.
The cave was very hidden, and the bandits didn't find it, so I escaped a disaster.
I was seriously injured at the time, and I was worried that the bandits were still waiting outside, so I didn't dare to go out rashly. I thought about going into the cave to see if there was any other way out.
Unexpectedly, the further I walked in, the deeper the cave became, and the cave hall became larger and larger. After walking for about an hour or two, I actually found an underground pool of water.
I was already hungry and thirsty at that time, and I didn't care whether the water was drinkable or not. I lay down by the pond and drank a lot of water.
However, after I drank the water from the pond, the injuries on my body slowly showed signs of healing, and my fatigue was swept away.
I simply jumped in and took a soak. Unexpectedly, the water in the pool deep at the bottom of the cave was so gentle that my wounds were almost healed in a short while.
Later, I thought that this might be related to the immortal treasures of you cultivators, so I bought all of it.
I have been waiting for you all these years, thinking that if you really come to Xuanyang City again, I can tell you this news.
I didn't expect that I'd actually be here! But Fairy Cheng's injury... that pool of water was able to heal me quickly back then, so maybe it can help Fairy Cheng too. Why don't you take her there and give it a try?"
