The Lin family’s Zhenlong Escort Agency had a small reputation in the Jianghu, but a recent incident had made the once little-known escort agency famous throughout the north and south of the Great River.
(TNote: Jianghu = the martial arts world/ society.)
Firstly, the head of the Zhenlong Escort Agency was killed while escorting goods, and not only was he killed, but most of his n also died.
The escort agency suffered heavy losses and had to compensate the families of those escorting the goods with money.
Although the Zhenlong Escort Agency wasn’t well-known and didn’t have much wealth, it was still considered a big family in this small city. After the widow of the head of the agency, who had been left behind, managed to pull herself together, the wealthy local family, the Li family, who had previously been engaged to the Lin family’s young master, ca to the door to break off the engagent.
This was an unscrupulous act no matter where it happened. But it was just a small city, and even if soone knew about the Li family’s misdeeds, they could easily move away and continue to live as usual.
As for the Lin family, they were no longer what they used to be, and only the second wife of Lin Lao Ye and two children who hadn’t yet reached adulthood were left. They were being oppressed by the Li family’s power.
Who would have thought that right after the engagent was broken off, the young master of the Lin family left ho to beco a monk?
If he had just stayed quietly in the temple, reciting Buddhist scriptures and knocking wooden fish, it would have been fine. But he happened to make a vow to save the world and convert evildoers, making those evil doers turn from their wicked ways.
(TNote: Wooden fish = A wooden fish, also known as a Chinese temple block, wooden bell, or muyu, is a type of woodblock that’s used by monks in the tradition of Buddhism.)
Was he fooling around?
The old master of the Li family, who had successfully broken off the engagent, sneered.
But soon he couldn’t laugh at the young man anymore.
Because half a month later, the Lin family’s young master, now known as Master Shiheng, had actually converted a very famous demon in the Jianghu.
As news of this demon being converted spread throughout the Jianghu, so did the news of Li family’s bullying tactics causing Shiheng to beco a monk.
The Li family beca infamous.
Old Master Li wasn’t happy at all.
His daughter, who was as beautiful as a flower, could have married into a higher family, but now that the Lin family’s young master had beco a monk, it was inevitable that people who had previously wanted to marry into the Li family would rethink their decision.
If one day their family also lost their power, would the Li family do it again?
They didn’t have the ability to transform people like the young master of the Lin family, and they spread the disgusting things done by the Li family throughout the martial arts world.
As for those Jianghu people who weren’t interested in gossip, they were curious about how Master Shiheng, who was rumored to be just an ordinary person before becoming a monk, transford that wicked person.
Did he really have a predestined relationship with Buddhism and used his wisdom to transform the guy?
In the desolate desert, a monk wearing a robe and a hood, holding a staff, walked forward step by step.
He stepped lightly, and the loose yellow sand under his feet seed as solid as mud, without any signs of sinking. If one looked closely, they could see that when the sand and dust blowing in the wind approached him, it would suddenly disappear.
Lin Shiheng’s equipnt was pretty good.
Although the Zhenlong Escort Agency wasn’t as good as it used to be, they still had so assets. When Second Madam learned that he was going on a long journey, she summoned her embroidery maid to make him several robes overnight.
Since Lin Shiheng didn’t belong to any temple in a strict sense and was a wandering monk, there was no particular requirent for the color of his robes. Under the command of Second Madam, these robes were made intricately and complicatedly, with dark patterns embroidered all over, looking very luxurious.
In summary, it was a combination of low-key luxury and profoundness.
Lin Shiheng didn’t need to ask, as Second Madam had already explained, “The Lord once said that if you dress poorly when you go out, people will treat you like a soft persimmon and take advantage of you. If you dress luxuriously, people will think you have a background and won’t oppose you.”
(TNote: soft persimmon = easy target for bullying.)
Lin Shiheng didn’t bother to argue with the fact that no one in the Jianghu had nothing better to do than to oppose monks. After all, Shaolin was a major sect in the Jianghu today.
In addition to these clothes, he also brought a qin from ho.
(TNote: Qin =A family with Asian zithers—musical instrunts with strings stretched across a long, hollowed-out resonating chamber.)
Second Madam gave him a lot of silver, and Lin Shiheng accepted it all. As a wandering monk, he had to exceed other ordinary wandering monks in terms of equipnt and wealth. Before leaving, Second Madam cried for a while, while holding him.
The birth mother of the eldest young master of the Lin family died of dystocia, and Master Lin didn’t remarry, entrusting him to his concubine, Second Madam, to take care of him.
Leaving him to her was more reassuring for Master Lin than to handing it over to anyone else.
Second Madam was originally a maid by Madam Lin’s side and grew up with Madam Lin. Compared with Master Lin, they trusted each other more. When Second Madam got first married to her forr husband, she unfortunately encountered a tradition of dostic violence in her husband’s family and was beaten to the brink of death. When Lady Lin found out, she rescued her.
In order to keep Second Madam by her side, Madam Lin arranged for her to be married to Master Lin as the second wife.
But unfortunately, a difficult childbirth took Madam Lin’s life. Before she died, she didn’t say a word to Master Lin, but instead pulled Second Madam aside and begged her to take care of her child.
Second Madam tearfully agreed, and as she had promised, treated Young Master Lin like her own child, taking care of him more ticulously than anyone else, with the sole aim of helping him grow up quickly and inherit the Zhenlong Escort Agency.
Unfortunately, the original Young Master Lin was weak and sickly, and when the Li family ca knocking on their door, he was overco with shock and anger and passed away on the spot.
The child that Second Madam had raised herself was traumatized by the family’s misfortunes and beca a monk, causing her to cry until she was almost blind. Even with all the preparations she had made, how could she let a young man who hadn’t yet reached adulthood venture out alone into the world and face those evil people? She couldn’t bear to let him go.
But Second Madam had been taught from a young age to listen to her father at ho, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband’s death. Despite her deep reluctance, she tearfully sent him away.
Watching the child she had raised take the na Shiheng as a monk, and leave in heavy robes, Second Madam gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears. She turned and threw herself into the battle to revive the escort agency and fight against the Li family.
It was obvious that she held the Li family accountable for the fact that the child she had raised had beco a monk.
When Master Lin passed away, the child wasn’t in a good state, but he didn’t express any desire to leave the family. If it weren’t for the Li family’s excessive bullying, how could he have suffered such a blow and insisted on becoming a monk?
After blaming the Li family for this, Second Madam, who had always been weak and only knew how to cry, held her anger and went after them.
Li family!
I’ll moke you pay!
