Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 109 Inheritance
  After dinner, Jia Qiang was about to take a rest, but was stopped by Lin Ruhai.

"Brother Qiang, come with me!" Lin Ruhai said to Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang didn't know what else to do so late, so he followed Lin Ruhai to the back of the old house.

Behind the old house is a flat field with the ground paved with bluestone.

When Jia Qiang saw this place, she guessed that its function was not like a garden or an ordinary yard.

"This is where the ancestors of the Lin family practiced martial arts. Although the Lin family has changed martial arts to literature, this place has been preserved!" Lin Ruhai introduced while walking.

At the end of the martial arts training ground, there is a separate building.

Lin Ruhai opened the door with ease and lit the candle. The layout of the room looked like a military tent in a military camp.

On both sides are two rows of long weapons placed on weapon racks, and behind the main seat is a flag of an unknown army.

"This is the place where the generals of the Lin family are passed down. Unfortunately, most of the Lin family's descendants are weak and no one can continue the martial prowess of their ancestors!" Lin Ruhai stroked the weapon vigorously and said softly.

Jia Qiang could see that Lin Ruhai had no objection to martial arts training. Although he was a civil servant, he encountered too many dangers during his tenure as an official, and he knew the importance of martial arts.

If it hadn't been for Jia Qiang's arrival, Lin Ruhai's family might have been ruined.

This is not a prediction, but something that actually happened on the premise that Jia Qiang did not change the world here.

How could Lin Ruhai, such a smart person, not know about his own affairs?

"I don't have a son, so I plan to pass the Lin family's general inheritance into your hands. In addition, you also said that a spear is missing. The Lin family's inherited weapon is a precious spear, and I will also pass it on to you!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile. made his own plans.

"Teacher, this is so precious!" Jia Qiang couldn't help being surprised and said quickly.

"What's so precious? I've opened this place of general inheritance to the Lin family for so many years. Although they can't see the deeper things, it's not a problem to lay a good foundation.

But after so many years, the branch always wanted to get benefits from me, but did not want to work hard on itself.

If this continues, I'm worried that the Lin family's general inheritance will be completely cut off. It's better to leave it in your hands and it can be effective! Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said.

There were many things he couldn't explain clearly to Jia Qiang, and he was disappointed with the branch of the Lin family.

It is understandable that no one in the Lin family wants to accept the inheritance of generals. Without resources in this area, the most they can do is strengthen their body and bones.

But he also opened the Lin family's library and left some books in the old house. Many years later, there was no literati in the Lin family branch who could take advantage of them.

Lin Ruhai didn't bother to ask about the other small profit-making methods of the Lin family. Even if the main line's interests were misappropriated, he would turn a blind eye.

This bit of wealth was not taken seriously by him, and he regarded it as supporting his branch.

It was this accumulation of frustration that made him choose to hand over Lin's general inheritance to Jia Qiang.

As he spoke, Lin Ruhai came to the flag behind the main seat and pulled it open, revealing a closet hidden on the wall.

He took out a key, opened the door of the closet, and carefully took out a wooden box.

"Put this thing away!" Lin Ruhai handed the wooden box to Jia Qiang and said.

Jia Qiang took the wooden box with both hands. Although the wooden box was not heavy, he felt that it was as heavy as a thousand pieces.

Lin Ruhai locked the closet again and restored the flag to its original state.

He walked to the corner of the room again, where there was a big flag.

"Come here and help!" He wanted to reach out, but stopped, turned to Jia Qiang and ordered.

Jia Qiang walked over and reached out to take down the big flag. The weight of the big flag was almost forty kilograms. No wonder Lin Ruhai wanted to ask him to come over and help.

Lin Ruhai took the flag off the pole, revealing a big gun hidden under the flag.

The entire body of this big gun is made of wood but not wood. Except for the head of the gun, which is made of some special metal, the middle and tail of the gun are decorated with ring-shaped metal made of special metal.

The big gun is 3.7 meters long, which is a bit shorter than a normal big gun.

"This is a treasured spear that the ancestors of the Lin family obtained from a thousand-year-old vine. They used all the millennium-old vines and took more than ten years to make it. This treasured spear is not afraid of being chopped by any weapon, and it is extremely flexible. Especially suitable for the transmission of power!" Lin Ruhai introduced with a smile.

Jia Qiang grabbed the tail of the big gun with one hand, and shook her hand gently, making the whole big gun tremble.

He increased his strength some more, exerted force again, increased force again, and exerted force again and again.

He was testing the endurance of the big gun. He couldn't use all his strength at once. If the Lin family's inherited treasured gun was destroyed, he would not be able to face Lin Ruhai.

In the end, he used all his strength, and the two thousand kilograms of force shook the tail of the gun. When the force was transmitted to the tip of the gun, the tip made a harsh sound of breaking through the air.

This treasured spear withstood his power very easily. In his feeling, this was far from reaching the limit of the treasured spear.

Lin Ruhai took a step back, and the sound of the tip of the spear piercing the air made the air in the whole room become sharper.

"Being able to see the Lin family gun regain its glory in your hands, I am worthy of my ancestors!" Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang happily and said.

"Teacher, if you have a child in the future and are willing to join the martial arts, I can pass on the Lin family's legacy to him!" Jia Qiang promised.

As long as he is willing to take action, with very few resources, he can train many warriors who practice the art of general body refining.

'Healing Technique [Advanced]' can completely replace those precious and rare recovery medicines. The only thing that needs to be worried about is the practitioner's own tolerance for pain.

"With your wife's body, how can you have another child?" Lin Ruhai shook his head and said.

It was difficult for him to explain the real situation to Jia Qiang. The Lin family's main line had always been underpopulated, and the chance of having children was too low.

"In the future, I will marry Sister Lin, and my second son will be named Lin. Teacher, what do you think?" Jia Qiang thought for a while and asked.

Lin Ruhai's hand trembled slightly, he did not expect Jia Qiang to say such words.

"Are you telling the truth?" he confirmed in disbelief.

"To be honest, I have been kicked out of the Jia family's family tree a long time ago. My only relatives are my teacher's family!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile and nodded.

As a soul from another world, he does not attach as much importance to family and surname as people from this world. No matter what the surname of the child is, his blood is still flowing, and they are all his children.

"Okay, let your wife cook more delicious food when you get back, so that Yu'er can take care of herself!" Lin Ruhai said a little gaffefully.

Jia Qiang has black lines on her head. He doesn't want Lin Daiyu to grow up to be a fat man. What kind of picture will that look like as fat sister Lin?

Jia Qiang took away Lin's treasured spear. With Lin's treasured spear, he had full combat capability. During his time in Jiangnan, he experienced a lot of battles, but in fact, the battles in Jiangnan were not real battlefields, which did not allow him to fully utilize the advantages of his war horse.

When riding a war horse, heavy weapons like the two goddess statues cannot be used, and the big guns used before must be held back.

Now that he has Lin's treasured spear, he can already unleash his full power in horseback charging without having to worry about the spear breaking.

When Lin Ruhai walked back to the room, her steps were a little wandering.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Jia Min quickly stepped forward to support her and asked worriedly.

"Brother Qiang agreed, Yu'er's second son's surname is Lin!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile. He wanted to share this good news with his wife.

"Really?" Jia Min asked with the same disbelief as Lin Ruhai before.

When she saw Lin Ruhai nodded heavily, she couldn't help but laugh, and then cried again.

She thought of her son who died young, which was the pain of her life.

Lin Ruhai hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Jia Qiang returned to the room and opened the wooden box.

The wooden box is very old, and there are three books in it, two thick and one thin.

The two thick ones are "The Lin Family's Art of War" and "The Lin Family's Gun Manual", and the thin one is called "Wanjun Bone Training".

Opening "The Lin Family's Art of War", this is the real art of war. The text is profound and obscure. Except for some easy-to-understand pictures, the rest of the content requires careful study.

This is the real book on the art of war, and something like "The Art of War" is an outlier.

Jia Yan himself didn't read much, and he wanted to pass on his military skills, so he wrote "Yan Gong Bing Shu".

In fact, even if other generals had the same idea as Jia Yan, they would not do it like this. They were worried that future generations would make fun of it. If "The Book of Acting on Military Affairs" fell into the hands of some literary people, they would just put it aside and disdain to read it.

"Lin Family Gun Manual" is a gun manual that starts from the basics. After reading "Lin Family Gun Manual", Jia Qiang discovered how many mistakes and omissions there were in her previous practice.

This is not to say that the marksmanship in "The Book of Military Acting" is not strong. Back then, Jia Yan had a big gun in his hand and was almost invincible.

But the problem is that the marksmanship skills left by Jia Yan in "Yangong Bingshu" have no basis in marksmanship. The basis of Jia Qiang's marksmanship is summarized from the marksmanship of ordinary spearmen in the book of war.

The "Lin Family Gun Manual" is a gun manual for practicing large guns alone. The content is more detailed and can be understood at a glance from low to high.

Jia Qiang's spear skills are similar to his archery skills. They can be regarded as high-level among ordinary people, but they cannot reach the extreme.

The reason why he is able to crush the enemy with a big gun is due to his huge strength. It is not a lie to defeat ten guilds with one force.

But if he practices his spear skills well, he will be able to exert even greater combat power.

Finally, he opened the "Wanjun Bone Refining Technique", which is a body refining technique for the generals of the Lin family, but the Lin family's body refining technique is good at bone refining.

"Wanjun Bone Refining Technique" is to strengthen the muscles and meridians while refining the bones.

The prerequisite medicine for practicing the "Wanjun Bone Refining Technique" is not very precious, but the medicine for restoring the body later is more demanding and rare than the "Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique".

This is probably part of the reason why the Lin family gave up martial arts and followed literature. Without large-scale wars and constant invasion and robbery, it is extremely difficult to obtain the medicine needed to practice the 'Wanjun Bone Refining Technique'. This is not You can do it if you have money.

Jia Qiang read "Wanjun Bone Refining Technique" many times, and he had an idea in his mind.

His practice of 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique' has reached a bottleneck, and he cannot improve no matter how hard he practices.

If he turns to practice "Wanjun Bone Refining Technique", will he be able to break through his own bottleneck and improve?
  Once this idea arises, it cannot be extinguished.

The key is that he is not worried about problems in his practice. No matter how much damage he suffers, the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' can treat it.

With the support of 'Healing Technique [Advanced]', he had the courage to try it.

If it weren't for the lack of all the medicinal materials on hand, he would have tried practicing the "Wanjun Bone Refining Technique" right now.

After putting away the three books and seeing that it was getting late, he took a rest.

The Lin family's old house was quiet, but in a room outside the Lin family's old house, there were three people sitting there.

The three of them are the talkers of the three major branches of the Lin family, that is, the eldest uncle, second uncle and third uncle that Jia Qiang called when welcoming Lin Ruhai.

"Is the young man Lin Ruhai brought back today a way out that Lin Ruhai left for himself?" the second uncle said aloud.

Lin Ruhai had no son, and he had always heard that Lin Ruhai was in poor health.

Originally, he planned to wait a few years until Lin Ruhai's body was obviously weak before he proposed his ideas to Lin Ruhai.

But when they met today, Lin Ruhai brought Jia Qiang back to participate in ancestor worship. This was to prepare his uncle to take over the Lin family's property.

As a member of the Lin family, he could not watch the Lin family's property fall into the hands of foreigners, which was why talkers from the three major branches gathered together today.

"Daiyu is engaged at such a young age, do you really think we can't tell?" Third Uncle continued.

"Lin Ruhai is still an official. Even if he has this intention, what can we do?" The uncle shook his head and said helplessly.

"Then please ask the old uncle to come forward!" the second uncle suggested in a deep voice.

"My uncle is old and doesn't want to get involved. It's impossible for him to come forward!" The uncle shook his head again and said.

Even though he is old, he knows very well what he can do and what he cannot participate in.

"Then before worshiping the ancestors, I propose to adopt my third son to Ruhai!" the second uncle then suggested.

This was what he wanted to say the most today. The third son of his family was born from the concubine's family and was not taken seriously in the family. If he could exchange the third son for the wealth of the main line of the Lin family, it would be really worth it.

The most important thing is that the mistress is timid and cowardly and will not escape his control.

"Why do you want to adopt your third son? My second son is the most suitable one!" The third uncle expressed his dissatisfaction. He also had his own plans.

The second uncle and the third uncle looked at each other, as if Lin Ruhai's property was right in front of them, and they could get it if they decided the winner.

"You don't have to argue. Tomorrow, Ruhai and I will talk about both boys and let Ruhai make his own choice!" The uncle waved his hand to interrupt the argument between the two and persuaded him.
