Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 65 Flower Rain
They said they were going to eat at Niuxiashui's house, but Lin Jiang needed to go home as soon as possible to let his grandmother know he was safe.

So he told Niu Xiashui that once Niu Xiashui had recovered, he should send a big fish to the water shop as payment.

After making preparations, Lin Jiang wanted to take a carriage back to Cangsong. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old man called the three Zeng brothers, and they all got into the carriage together.

Just before getting on the bus, the old man brought a book basket with him.

Lin Jiang thought the thing looked familiar.

It looks like a book basket carried by a pageboy.

"He travels the world alone, so he must have some treasures. You should accept this."

After saying this, the old man thought for a moment, then reached into his pocket and took out a luminous pearl the size of a fist.

"Master?" Ye Mingzhu asked in surprise.

"You should go out and make your way in the world with this young man."

“Sir, I’m already so old, why do you still want me to go out and make my way in the world?”

"you are not willing?"

"Yes, yes."

The luminous pearl jumped onto Lin Jiang on its own:

"You're a really good guy. I'm sure I won't suffer if I follow you. But I'm not really good at fighting with others, so I can't really help you with anything too dangerous."

"That's alright," Lin Jiang said with a smile. "From now on, I'll call you Brother Zhuzi."

"Hiss, are you bad at coming up with names?"

Lin Jiang didn't answer Ye Mingzhu: "Then, Brother Zhuzi, what methods are you skilled in? And what valuables do you need?"

"The luminous pearl, of course, provides illumination," the luminous pearl said. "My faint light can dispel illusions and ward off evil spirits, bringing peace and tranquility to the surroundings and protecting us from the evil spells of the four directions. At the same time, I can also absorb the myriad colors around me, making me invisible and able to help you gather information."

"You don't need to worry about his valuables," Old Zhao added. "I've already paid for his valuables, and he'll never have to pay for them again in his life."

Lin Jiang was particularly surprised.

Is this how you pay for valuables?
As we drove back in the carriage, we saw many flowers piled up all around us, some people sweeping the ground, and some children playing with the flowers.

When we arrived at the entrance of the pine-covered town, the town was still bustling with activity, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of flowers.

Ask the people on the roadside, and they will only say that a rain of flowers has fallen, and petals whose names they cannot name have fallen all over the city, on children, the elderly, the rich and the poor.

The fragrance of the flowers filled the surroundings, and everyone, young and old, would pick one to carry with them. Even the laborers who carried swill would pick one and tuck it into their hair.

The flower petal on Li Fu's head is very beautiful; it looks like a peony.

Zeng Yan leaned out from inside the carriage:
"Fellow villager, why aren't you wearing flowers?"

Li Fu chuckled twice and read aloud:

"Elegance, elegance."

As the vehicle drove away, Li Fu hummed a little tune and walked away as well.

"Judging from this, the Spring Flower Banquet should be able to take place."

The old man was very happy. He loved banquets more than anything in his life. A large group of people gathered together in a lively atmosphere was the best thing ever.

"It will definitely be able to be opened."

Lin Jiang also looked around.

The constables were the most exhausted people on the whole street. You could see them sitting or leaning against the wall everywhere, clearly having worked hard for a long time.

The people in the city had already taken the medicine before their illnesses became serious. The medicine the old man prepared was so effective that most people thought they had only drunk a bowl of soup.

As for the flower petals falling from the sky, the townspeople all believed it must be a blessing from heaven, that a fairy had been sent to place her hand in a flower basket and scatter them outwards in handfuls.

They quickly returned to the mansion. When Lin Jiang entered the courtyard, Chen Dajiang saw him first, then hurried to the room to find Wen Xiangyi. When Wen Xiangyi came out, she couldn't stop crying and immediately hugged Lin Jiang.

Lin Shengfeng followed behind.

He was unusually awake, seemingly wanting to come up and hug Lin Jiang, but halfway there, he scratched his head in confusion, as if wondering who this young man was.

Lin Jiang comforted his grandmother for a while.

When I looked at the door again, the old man was standing outside with the three Zeng brothers.

Wen Xiangyi also saw them:
"Aren't these the three gentlemen who taught you skills? And who is this old gentleman?"

“They are all good people. I brought them along to the Flower Spring Banquet.”

Wen Xiangyi warmly welcomed them in.

Upon entering the room, Old Zhao immediately spotted Lin Shengfeng, who still looked somewhat bewildered, not far away.

He walked up to Lin Shengfeng and looked at him. Lin Shengfeng looked back at him.

Old Zhao moved his head to the left, and Lin Shengfeng's head also moved to the left. When Old Zhao looked up, Lin Shengfeng followed suit.

Finally, it was Lin Shengfeng who asked the question:
Who are you? Have I seen you before?

"Yes, you probably haven't seen it before," Old Zhao said with emotion.

Lin Jiang also noticed the unusual situation and came over.

He looked at Old Man Zhao with a puzzled expression, then at his own grandfather.

"Old Zhao, do you know my grandfather?"

"I met him when I was young, but we weren't very close." Old Zhao didn't hide anything: "Your grandfather was very capable when he was young. He should have served the imperial court, but I don't know why he left."

"How capable are you?"

"About the same as me," the old man patted his chest. "We were all geniuses when we were young."

He's already wearing the words "shameless" on his face.

Lin Jiang nodded, then helped the yawning old man back to his room to rest.

Old Zhao stopped looking in that direction and just waved his hands repeatedly:
"I heard that kid didn't prepare the wine properly, he just used tiger bones to soak in liquor. I need to check it out quickly, lest I ruin a whole vat of good wine."

The accountant chased after him:

"Sir, please wait a moment! I've already taken those bones out and re-cooked them!"

……

After helping Lin Shengfeng into the room, Lin Jiang hurriedly ran to his own room.

He needs to check on how the ginseng is doing now.

Once inside, he immediately saw a group of maids surrounding Xiao Shanshen, who stood with his hands on his hips, looking quite smug.

"Let me tell you! I'm a great hero! It's just that I suddenly felt unwell this time, otherwise I would definitely have been able to go out with your young master and drive away the bad guys!"

Several maids clapped around, and Xiao Shanshen raised his head even higher.

She immediately noticed Lin Jiang enter the room, and with a look of joy on her face, she jumped from the table onto Lin Jiang's hands.

Very happy:

"Lin Jiang! Lin Jiang! I'm cured! It must be you who chased away the bad guys!"

"I chased him away," Lin Jiang said with a smile. "I punched that guy in the face several times in a row."

"It's a pity I'm really not feeling well today. How can I avoid it in the future?" Little Ginseng seemed a bit dejected. "I can't be sick every time something happens. I want to be a hero. I want to fight evil and promote good with you."

"Practice diligently, and everything will be fine once you've cultivated well."

"Yes." Little Ginseng nodded vigorously: "I will definitely cultivate diligently!"

……

A grand banquet was held in the water, and the chefs prepared a lot of delicious food, including tiger bone wine, for everyone to enjoy.

The freshly brewed tiger bone wine didn't taste very good, but everyone enjoyed it.

After a hearty meal, it was already late, and Wen Xiangyi was sleepy, so she went to Lin Shengfeng's room to rest.

Lin Jiang wasn't sleepy. Taking advantage of the darkness, he prepared a pot of wine and a plate of braised meat before heading out of the water store.

I walked to a bridge in the nearby town and waited.

After waiting for a while, Old Zhao finally came staggering over.

"Oh, this was prepared for me."

Lin Jiang nodded and gave the wine to Old Man Zhao as well.

Old Zhao smiled and brought over the food: "I told you we got along well. Many people have met me before, and although they would bring gifts, most of them were treasures or paintings. They had no human touch at all. It's better to eat and drink."

"Yes, money can't compare to food and drink."

Lin Jiang strongly agreed with this.

Old Zhao picked up the meat with his fingers, quickly finished it, took a sip of wine, and then smacked his lips twice.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Let me ask first, what exactly is 'pointing stars'?"
