Chapter 255: Thieves

The night was dark and moonless.

Wang Lin was lying on the bed in the back room of the store, beside him, there was also a wine pot, from time to time he picked it up and took a sip, this year, Wang Lin could clearly feel that his mind, slowly got rid of his cultivation career, and instead became the same as a mortal.

For example, nowadays, he had rarely meditated and exhaled, something that was impossible before, during those four hundred years of fleeing and killing, he had let the spiritual energy in his body rotate almost all the time, using all the time to increase his cultivation, and his life was full of hooks and corners, and the weak were strong, and the slightest carelessness would lead him to his death.

Even so, he almost never laid down to sleep like this, and even late at night, he only spent it in meditation.

This kind of life, as exciting as it was, as passionate as it was, it had more than a hint of regret, less than a hint of peace, it, was crippling.

Now, in Wang Lin’s life, there was no jousting, although it was bland, it was like a trickle of water that washed the mind.

This feeling, initially Wang Lin was extremely unfamiliar, but as time slowly passed, his mind, gradually accepted the status quo and lived a mortal life.

After picking up the wine pot and taking a sip, Wang Lin suddenly frowned.

At this moment, outside his store, came two cultivators, this two people’s body like a wandering soul quickly drifted, one of them waved his right hand, Wang Lin’s store door, suddenly opened noiselessly, without making a sound.

The two quickly flashed in, and immediately after, the door of the store was closed by the wind.

Inside the store. These two people’s eyes flickered. Staring at the wood carvings around them, a look of horror appeared in their eyes. But immediately, this look of shock disappeared. It was replaced by endless greed.

“There are actually so many magic treasures!” One of the cultivators sucked in a cold breath. In passing, he picked up a nearby statue. Gazing at it. His body suddenly shook. It nearly threw the wooden statue down.

The color of greed in his eyes intensified. With a flick of his sleeve. All of a sudden the wooden sculptures on the store shelves. One by one, they fell into his storage bag.

The other cultivator. On the other hand, he squatted down. Rummaging around inside a wooden box. Then suddenly exclaimed. In his hand was a half-finished humanoid wooden sculpture. The color of his face suddenly became unusually red. A sweetness in his throat. A large mouthful of blood was sprayed out.

The wooden sculpture in his hand. Even more so, he quickly threw it away. As if this wooden sculpture was an ancient ferocious beast generally hastily withdrew a few steps.

In fact, it is no wonder that he could not withstand it. This half-finished wooden sculpture. The person who carved is the Six Desires Demon Lord. Although it is a half-finished product. But this wooden sculpture contains the equivalent of the peak of the YuanYing stage spirit power. This person’s cultivation at the JieDan stage. It was simply impossible to withstand it.

Fortunately, he let go of his hand quickly, coupled with this wooden sculpture within the spirit of power did not open, otherwise, this person is by no means as simple as vomiting blood.

The moment the wooden statue hit the ground, it was suddenly grabbed by a large, invisible hand and landed in the hands of Wang Lin, who had walked out of the back room. Wang Lin smoothly put the statue aside, held the wine pot in his right hand, took a sip, and said, “A total of 4,500 taels of gold, bring it.”

The moment Wang Lin appeared, those two people immediately moved and stared at Wang Lin with horrified eyes.

Especially that cultivator who had just been injured by the spiritual might within the wooden sculpture, his face was even paler and his forehead was sweating.

In the eyes of the two of them, Wang Lin’s appearance was too bizarre, and before the two of them entered the store, they had clearly probed with their divine sense, and even though they noticed that there was a person lying in the back of the house, this person was nothing more than a mortal.

But now, this mortal in their eyes, actually in the case that they did not have any notice, noiselessly appeared, this is like a bolt from the blue, let the two hearts for the horror.

In addition to the store appeared in the wood carving treasure, this two people even if it is again stupid, at this moment also suddenly understand over, in front of this person, certainly is the senior high people, far from his two people can be messed with.

The two looked at each other, hastened to respectfully whispered: “See seniors, juniors are White Cloud Sect disciples, today there are many offenses, I hope seniors bear with me.”

“Four thousand five hundred taels of gold, any?” Wang Lin said with a flat voice.

The two looked at each other in dismay, they are cultivators, if it is a spirit stone, then there are still some, but the currency of the mortals, gold and silver, at this time there is not so much, of course, if they go back to prepare, then do not talk about 4,000, even if 40,000, can also take out.

Wang Lin can see what the two are thinking, sighed, right hand a call, the cultivator waist storage bag in the air was grabbed by him, lightly in its a wipe, immediately the cultivator’s face red, back a few steps, a mouthful of blood was swallowed by him alive.

The color of respect in his eyes became even more intense, Wang Lin’s wipe had already removed his divine sense.

With a gentle shake, all the wood carvings within it flew out, one by one landing in their original positions on the shelves around them, without any slightest mistake, as if they hadn’t moved.

“Go back, next time you come, bring enough gold.” Wang Lin said, with a casual wave of his right hand, the storage bag was immediately sent to that cultivator’s hands, and then the body of the two of them was involuntarily pushed by a strong force and crashed towards the store’s main door.

At the moment of crashing into the door, the store door suddenly opened, and after the two of them were rolled out, the door closed.

This roll, is more than ten miles away, these two cultivators can not easily stop, eyes reveal unimaginable horror and fear color, in their eyes of the young people, cultivation is unfathomable.

The two are silent for a little while, are all heart secretly called a fluke, looked at each other, and then hurriedly left, this two people, it is the king’s residence within the two cultivators.

They could see that the wood carving was extraordinary, and under the pursuit of questioning, they found Xu Tao, who was having a quickie, and that’s why they rushed to this place in the night. Just after the scene just now, the two have been scared out of their wits, and do not dare to hit the idea of that store.

The two of them didn’t know that in their bodies, Wang Lin’s divine sense had been left behind, and if they had any unfavorable thoughts about Wang Lin, then in an instant, they would be killed by the divine sense.

In fact, if these two people understood Wang Lin, then they should feel quite lucky, because if they were put in a year ago, then the two of them would have ended up with no other path but death.

Wang Lin sat inside the store, took a sip of wine, sighed, and muttered, “It’s been a year since I’ve killed anyone ……” He shook his head, turned around, went back to the back room, and laid down on the bed to sleep.

Time rushed by, another two years passed, this was already Wang Lin’s third year in Kyoto.

Da Niu grew taller and taller, his body was also stronger and stronger, the surrounding neighbors, there were a few more households, the owner of the Kong family’s cloth workshop, also died because of a serious illness, the store was also given to someone else.

Da Niu parents face, gradually more than some slight wrinkles, although they are still young, but also can not survive the washing of the years.

It is worth mentioning, is that these two years, around the neighbors, but there are a lot of people up to kiss, each time, are Wang Lin politely declined.

The second son of the Xu family store, also married a daughter-in-law, but also gave birth to a fat doll, Xu Tao back, respectfully came to Wang Lin here, sent a hundred taels of gold, said His Highness filial piety.

In fact, these two years, every New Year’s Eve, Xu Tao will take a lot of gold to come, in this regard, Wang Lin also do not excuse, directly accepted.

Spring goes to autumn, the sun and the moon alternate, during these two years, Wang Lin saw birth, old age, sickness, and death, and was quite emotional in his heart.

He had only meditated and exhaled twice in these two years, and for his own cultivation, he rarely even cared about it, and it had been a long time since he had looked inward to check it out, as for the red mist outside his body, only a thin layer had been left, and all of it had condensed into three red beads, which he had put into his storage bag.

According to his analysis, when the fourth red bead condensed out, the red mist would all dissipate.

Back then, those two cultivators, during these two years, came once and after offering a large amount of mortal gold and silver, they took away the three wooden carvings in an unusually respectful manner.

These two years, Wang Lin’s store, in the entire western part of the city, gradually had a reputation, the guests are not a lot, but it is always a lot stronger than when it did not open for a year.

Only, in Wang Lin’s store, the most frequent visitors were not mortals, but cultivators, basically six out of ten people would be cultivators.

Every cultivator to come here, are to mortals gold and silver to buy wood carvings, two years, wood carvings sold a lot, gold and silver things, Wang Lin has accumulated a large box.

There are strange people in the western city of Kyoto, gradually in the cultivation world here, slowly have a certain fame.

Wang Lin has always been calm, without any change, he seeks to be a mortal mentality, realize the life of a mortal, feel the cycle of heaven, the store, just a tool for him to realize the way of heaven, the wood carving, as well as the same.

At this time, looking at the New Year’s Eve is approaching, Kyoto city, joyful, Wang Lin from the store out, sitting in front of the store, looking at the pedestrians coming and going outside, in his eyes, revealing a deep reminiscence.

This is the third time he came to Kyoto and spent the New Year’s Eve, every time he feels different, but one thing is unique, that is, the nostalgia for his childhood.

In the store directly across the iron store, Da Niu quickly ran out, holding some fireworks in his hands, excited to play, see Da Niu, Wang Lin eyes show a trace of happiness, this child, this three years is almost he watched grow up, from an eleven-year-old child, turned into a fourteen-year-old teenager.

Last year, Da Niu really can’t stand his father’s ramblings, began to learn to play iron tools, but once the leisure time, will still run to Wang Lin to watch him make wood carvings.

Although Da Niu does not often come, but every day a pot of fruit wine, but has never been broken.

Set off fireworks, Da Niu shouted, ran to the side of Wang Lin, sat on the cold wooden stool next to his butt, do not feel cool, but said with a wink: “Uncle Wang, a few days ago I heard my father say, the east side of the Lv shopkeeper want to betroth his daughter to you, why do not you agree to it ah, his daughter I secretly seen, long can be good.”

Wang Lin smiled slightly, touched Da Niu’s head and said, “Uncle has a daughter-in-law.”

“Ah? Really? Then how come I haven’t seen it?” Da Niu stood up with a mischievous look of surprise.

“She’s waiting for me in a place far away, one day, I’ll go find her.” A hint of tenderness appeared in Wang Lin’s eyes, and a female figure appeared in his mind.

“I see, Uncle Wang, you must have come to the capital to do business, preparing to make a lot of money so that you can go back and marry your wife.” Da Niu said with a hefty smile.
