Chapter 185 Everyone is busy
Lin Yunzhi saw Nangong Rui off, and when he returned to the main hall, Tian Xiaoxiao was no longer there.
After asking Ruozhu, I found out that Tian Xiaoxiao had gone to rest.
Still sitting in the main hall were his eldest son and Deng Hongyu, his second son Tian Xiwu, his daughter Tian Lele, and his nephew Lin Bingsheng.
Qingyun Academy had not resumed classes yet, so the three of them simply stayed at home.
Tian Xiwu was extremely grateful that the academy was investigated.
If the academy had not been involved with Xijing officials, there would have been no holiday.
If he didn't have a holiday, he would have to live in the academy and would have no chance to go treasure hunting with Tian Xiaoxiao.
Lin Yunzhi looked at the children and said, "Wait here for me. I'll go get something."
Ruozhu accompanied Lin Yunzhi away.
Tian Lele and Tian Xiwu were extremely excited.
"Sister, do you think mother has something to give us?" Tian Xiwu expressed his guess.
"Nine out of ten. But what I want most is the little squirrel in the Soul-Falling Lamp." Tian Lele fantasized.
"There's a little squirrel in the Soul-Falling Lamp?" Tian Xiwu was puzzled.
"Hmm? Didn't we tell you? Xiaoxiao and I saved five ghosts, but they turned out to be five demons. Their demon pills were taken away by someone, who wanted to use them to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
We just came to Xijing from Shengjing. Actually, we didn’t come to Xijing to visit you, your elder brother, your elder sister-in-law, and your cousin, but we have official business to attend to.”
Tian Lele explained.
"Official business! You are a little girl who has barely read a few books, and you are doing official business?"
"Isn't rescuing the prince a public duty?"
"Yes, yes. What happened next?"
"You all know what happened next! The prince was rescued. Then the prince ate melons and acted as ferociously as a tiger, and took down Jingzhao Yin."
"I want to ask you about those five demons."
Tian Xiwu didn't want to know what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Demons? They are with mother! Take back the demon pills, and they will directly transform their souls into physical bodies again."
Tian Xiwu: "The Soul-Falling Lamp must be a divine weapon, otherwise it wouldn't have such great power."
Tian Lele: "Second brother, have you been secretly reading Xiaoxiao's books these days?"
Tian Xiwu scratched his head: "How do you know?"
"You told me yourself!" Tian Lele felt a little uncomfortable seeing his second brother, who used to like to joke and lacked maturity and stability, becoming serious.
"You are the only one who is smart!"
"Humph, I am mother's eldest disciple, and you can only be considered the second disciple at best."
"My skills are not low now, why should I be ranked second? Mother never said that she would take you as her apprentice."
"I triggered the ability to catch ghosts first, so I must be the eldest disciple."
"Okay, I'll give you the position of the eldest disciple! Anyway, Xiaoxiao said that I will not inherit my mother's legacy in the future."
"What are you two arguing about? You haven't argued for a long time. Why are you suddenly arguing today?"
"Mother, I am your first apprentice, right?"
Lin Yunzhi thought about it carefully, then shook his head.
"I once had a very outstanding male disciple. Unfortunately, he did not persist in the end and went back home to inherit the family business."
"What's his name? Let your sister eat his melon someday."
"Don't ask, the man is already dead! He came home to inherit the family business a few years ago, and was accidentally injured when his family members were fighting for the property. More than a hundred doctors were hired, but none of them could save him."
Lin Yunzhi's tone was full of regret.
"Mom, why don't you ever talk about the past?"
"Once a person starts to reminisce, it means he is getting old. I don't want to live in memories."
"Mom is not old at all. After taking the anti-aging pill, she has become even more beautiful."
Tian Lele's flattery was loud and clear.
"By the way, I have a few inexpensive little items here. I plan to give one to each of you children."
Lin Yunzhi opened a wooden box.
Inside there was a stack of yellow talisman paper, a compass, a judge's pen, and a few small peach wood swords.
"Wu'er, since you have joined my line of work, I'll give you these talisman papers. When you have time, you can paint them until you reach perfection."
"Thank you, mother."
Lin Yunzhi gave the judge's pen to Tian Xiwen.
Tian Xiwen wanted to take the judge's pen and hold it in his hand, but he found that this seemingly ordinary pen was very difficult for him to hold.
It turned out that scholars were really good for nothing. Tian Xiwen was at a loss.
"Xiwen, mother has specially tailored a martial art for you. Do you want to try it?" Lin Yunzhi thought that if his eldest son did not have some martial arts skills, it would be difficult for him to survive in the officialdom in the future.
Tian Xiwen first looked at his wife Deng Hongyu.
Deng Hongyu's face was full of envy at this moment.
"Mother, can I take my wife with me to practice the technique you mentioned?"
Lin Yunzhi looked at Deng Hongyu: "Hongyu, learn with Xiwen as well, to prevent you from worrying and being afraid in the future."
"Thank you, mother!" Tian Xiwen and Deng Hongyu felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Bingsheng stood awkwardly at the side. He also wanted to learn, but didn't know how to start.
Lin Yunzhi: "Sheng'er, do you want to learn some of your aunt's skills? They will definitely be useful at critical moments. They are all practical little tricks."
Tian Lele: "Mom, after learning from you, if they encounter evil spirits on the road, can my cousin bear it?"
"Aunt, I'm not afraid! I want to learn."
After receiving affirmative responses from several people, Tian Lele begged Lin Yunzhi: "Mother, I also want a disciple. Can you let me take my sister-in-law with me?"
Lin Yunzhi: "Okay, but ask your sister-in-law for her opinion. If she wants to teach you, you have to give her everything you know!"
"Sister-in-law, are you willing to learn skills from me in the future?"
Deng Hongyu was still in a daze.
Have I finally integrated into this family? With such a powerful ability, can I teach him just by being taught? Even my wife is included?
"Sister-in-law! What are you thinking about?" Tian Lele approached Deng Hongyu.
Deng Hongyu shuddered, then came back to her senses: "Le Le, were you talking to me just now?"
"Well. I'm asking you if you are willing to learn special skills from me, the skills to catch ghosts and monsters and fight. Do you want to learn from me?" Tian Lele actually used seductive means.
"Yes, very much. From now on, I will follow your lead and do whatever you tell me to do!"
"These talismans are protective amulets. If you carry them with you, they can ward off evil spirits and can even save your life at critical moments."
After Lin Yunzhi finished speaking, he gave each of the children two amulets.
The compass was handed to Tian Lele, and each person was given a small peach wood sword.
Lin Yunzhi took the peach wood sword in his hand, and when he chanted the spell, the peach wood sword instantly grew bigger.
Several people kept shouting “Wow, wow, wow”.
"This peach wood sword can change size at will according to one's ability, so it can also test your cultivation. One for each person, I will check it from time to time!
Xiwen's studies cannot be neglected. The Tian family can only hope that you can come back with a top scorer."
"I will follow my mother/aunt's instructions!"
Deng Hongyu secretly called out "Mother-in-law" in her heart.
Nangong Rui went to Jingzhao Yin, arranged things, and then immediately returned to the palace.
Since someone is ready to make a move, let her lose more than she gains.
He has the support of the people, an extremely powerful think tank that can predict the future, and he also has the means and abilities. Now he has no choice but to fight, and if he does, he will win!
After returning to the palace, Nangong Rui went to the Golden Palace and took the wooden box.
The lock on the wooden box looked familiar to him.
When he was a child, the late emperor taught Nangong Rui how to open such a lock.
