New and dark light years

Chapter 30 Everyone Has a Hidden Secret
When Li Lin returned to Shangtikou Village from the county town, it was already evening, and he saw the Tree Fairy Goddess wandering at the entrance of the village.

At this time, the Tree Fairy Queen also saw him, then turned around and slowly floated away.

The long green snake tail swung in front of Li Lin.

Li Lin quickly caught up with her, walked behind the Tree Fairy Lady, and asked with a smile: "Are you waiting for me, Tree Fairy Lady?"

The Tree Fairy Goddess did not speak, but returned to the altar and disappeared.

Tsk tsk, tsundere!
Li Lin smiled and returned to his home.

I haven't been home for a few days, and everything in the house remains the same as it was before. It seems that no one has come in and rummaged through it.

He also opened the wardrobe and saw that the six gold bars given by Wang Tianyou were still inside.

He stretched and fell asleep on the bed.

He has been running around outside these days and is worried about his life. He is extremely emotionally tense and has been through a lot of ups and downs, which has exhausted him.

I slept until noon the next day.

Just when I was about to go out to the yard to move around, I saw Zhao Xiaohu standing outside the fence.

"Brother Lin!"

Zhao Xiaohu was very happy to see Li Lin.

He looks much better now, which makes Li Lin a little surprised.

According to his estimation, Zhao Xiaohu had been hit by two strange soul-calling spells, and his body should have been very weak, but he did not expect that he would recover much faster than expected.

Could it be that this guy is also a talent?

"Xiao Hu, how's the situation in the village during the few days I've been away?"

"Same old!" Zhao Xiaohu said with a smile, "Many people heard that Brother Lin got rid of the wandering ghosts here, and they all want to come back."

Li Lin blinked: "So, I'll be moving again soon!"

"That's not necessary." Zhao Xiaohu lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lin, the previous owner of the house you're living in disappeared after moving out. No one knows where they went."

Oh!
Li Lin stopped paying attention to the matter. He looked at Zhao Xiaohu and suddenly said, "I'm going to cook some blood rice later. Come and have some too."

"No, that's for spirit hunters." Although Zhao Xiaohu was also curious about the taste of blood rice, he still shook his head.

"Give it a try. I think you might have the talent to become a spirit hunter."

"Really?" Zhao Xiaohu's eyes lit up.

"Come in."

"Okay." After Zhao Xiaohu came in, he said directly: "Brother Lin, I will help you wash the rice and cook for you."

He shouted excitedly.

"Okay, you cook."

Li Lin really wanted to take a break.

Soon, the blood rice was cooked.

This thing is extremely beneficial to blood circulation, and ordinary people cannot eat too much. Li Lin only gave him half a bowl.

Zhao Xiaohu picked up the bowl of rice with an almost pious look, chewing each grain of rice slowly.

After a while, Zhao Xiaohu finished eating half a bowl of blood rice.

Then he sat there anxiously and quietly, waiting for Li Lin's 'judgment.'

After a while, Zhao Xiaohu's forehead was covered with sweat and his face turned slightly red.

Li Lin nodded. Zhao Xiaohu did have the talent to become a spirit hunter, but... not much, just barely qualified.

The first step to becoming a spirit hunter is to be able to digest and withstand the effects of blood rice.

After eating half a bowl of this, an ordinary person will definitely feel extremely energetic and have a lot of energy, jumping up and down, and will just want to find something to vent.

If you can sit still, you pass.

Then the second step is to see if the other person's body can accommodate the "yin energy".

Li Lin reached out and pressed the pulse point on the other person's left hand, guiding some Yin Qi into it.

Zhao Xiaohu shuddered, but then had no other reaction.

So-so.

If the two basic assessments for entering the industry were based on a 100-point system, Zhao Xiaohu would have barely passed, just above the 60-point mark.

It is indeed possible to become a spirit hunter, but one's achievements are limited.

By the way, Li Lin’s scores in both subjects were around 85.

An 85-point score on one subject seems to be a good level, no big deal.

But if you get 85 points in both subjects, that's excellent.

In other words, he has no weaknesses, and when he grows up, he will be a perfect hexagonal warrior.

Xu Saifeng, who was killed by Li Lin, was a person who was more receptive to Yin Qi, but her blood Qi was not very strong. After being close to her... even a newcomer like Li Lin couldn't beat her. Li Lin looked at Zhao Xiaohu, who was expectant and nervous, and said, "Okay!"

"Really?" Zhao Xiaohu suddenly jumped up and ran around the room shouting, "I can become a spirit hunter, I can become a spirit hunter."

Li Lin looked at him with a smile, and after he calmed down, he said, "Go call Uncle Zhao over."

Uh-huh!

Zhao Xiaohu nodded repeatedly, then ran away, obviously very excited.

Not long after, Uncle Zhao came over quickly, while Zhao Xiaohu was waiting outside the yard.

When adults talk, little kids have no right to listen.

Uncle Zhao sat opposite Li Lin, looking somewhat happy and a little nervous.

"Does Xiaohu really have the talent to become a spirit hunter?"

Li Lin nodded gently: "Indeed, I have just confirmed it."

Before practicing the Yin-nourishing method, Li Lin had no way to confirm it, because he himself had no Yin energy, so how could he help others test it?

But now it works.

Uncle Zhao's expression was gloomy and unclear. He sighed softly and seemed very hesitant.

Li Lin said, "Spirit Hunters have the obligation to discover and teach talented individuals to become new Spirit Hunters, but Uncle Zhao, you also know that the death rate in this profession is very high."

Uncle Zhao nodded.

Spirit hunters are highly respected by the people, and ordinary people are generally unwilling to have any conflicts with them.

But spirit hunters also have the obligation to guard an area.

Newcomers like Li Lin stayed in Shangtikou Village.

"I can bring Xiaohu up, and I can even teach him boxing, spearmanship, and even the Spirit Control Method." Li Lin said with a smile, "His situation is much better than mine before."

"But he is not as talented as you, Li Xiaolang, right?" Uncle Zhao asked in a low voice.

Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

This is a fact and there is no need to hide it. Tell the truth and let the other party make the right judgment.

"Can I think about it again?"

"No problem." Li Lin smiled and said, "But... Xiaohu is not Aunt Hua's child, right?"

Uncle Zhao looked at Li Lin suddenly, with disbelief in his eyes: "How did you know?"

"The ghost that wandered outside the village said something very interesting before dying!" Li Lin said calmly, "She said she missed Xiaohu very much, missed her child very much. But I feel something is wrong... According to the old village chief, the ghost outside the village has existed for more than 30 years, and Xiaohu is only... thirteen years old. Is there something wrong?"

"No mistake!" Uncle Zhao sighed, "Xiao Hu is her, that strange child."

Li Lin squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then subconsciously leaned back and took a breath.

Uncle Zhao turns out to be an Undead Knight!
"Then Aunt Hua..."

"When your Aunt Hua was young, she spent every day soaking in water while planting rice and washing clothes. It damaged her bones. The doctor said her uterus was extremely cold, and she couldn't get pregnant."

Li Lin listened quietly.

"Then one day..." Uncle Zhao whispered, "I got drunk. Because the villagers laughed at me for not having any cubs and unable to lay eggs, I ran outside the village to make a scene. In a daze, I had sex with that strange woman. Three months later, one night, she called my name and handed Xiaohu to me at the village entrance."

"Does everyone in the village know about this?"

"They don't know." Uncle Zhao smiled. "Xiao Hu appeared unexpectedly, so I lied to them and said I prayed to the Tree Fairy and asked her to use magic to give us a child."

Xiaohu's big beard looks exactly like Uncle Zhao's, so no one would suspect that they are not biological children.

Li Lin was silent for a moment, then asked, "I killed her, killed that Gui. Do you hate me?"

Uncle Zhao shook his head. "She was somewhat conscious before, but then she became increasingly insane, constantly killing villagers. Now she even wants to take Xiaohu away. I've long considered her an enemy."

"Let's get back to Xiaohu." Li Lin tapped the table lightly, emphasizing his words. "Xiaohu's body can hold Yin energy, so he's more susceptible to ghosts' attention than the average person. Right now, he's still a virgin, so while his Qi and blood are strong, it's not so bad. But once he gets married and has children... he'll be easily harassed by ghosts. Becoming a ghost hunter can free him from this kind of trouble, but being a ghost hunter is also a problem in itself."

Uncle Zhao was silent for a long time, then said, "I'll go back and discuss it with Aunt Hua."

"Row!"

Li Lin stood up and saw his uncle and his son off, then picked up his bamboo hat, bamboo basket and hoe. He was going to the mountain to dig some more "weeds" to make the elixir.

I have already eaten more than half of the Shengxi Pills, so I need to make some preparations in advance.

He carried a hoe to the mountains and walked a long way. There were already many herbs in the bamboo basket on his back.

Just as I was about to go back to the village, I saw a cemetery with a lot of new soil spilled around it.

He walked over and found that it was indeed a new grave that had been robbed.

And the tombstone reads: Tomb of Wu Jiaxiuniang.

He looked down into the grave and found that the coffin had been opened and Xiuniang's remains were lying inside.

But... there was a brown, dry piece of paper lying on the remains.

What is this stuff?
