Background / History
Shi Linhu names his newborn son Shi Lin, hoping he will one day “shake the mountains and forests” 1. In Stone Village, he trains the children and leads hunts that supply the village with food and materials for medicinal baths 1 3 4.
When a Green-Scaled Eagle threatens the village, Shi Linhu confronts it with an ancestral beast arm bone. He later faces Bei Feng in an archery duel after hunters from Bei Village injure Shi Shoushan and try to seize Stone Village’s prey 8 10. During the ensuing conflict, Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao carry ancestral artifacts and lead villagers against Bei Village’s remaining fighters 13.
Years later, the divine essence in the Suanni remains and a slain Sacrificial Spirit helps bring Shi Linhu’s accumulated cultivation to a breakthrough into the Blood-Moving Realm 42.
Appearance
Shi Linhu is a muscular, bronze-skinned man with disheveled black hair 1.
Personality
Shi Linhu is stern with Shi Lin when the boy skips training, but also openly affectionate and proud of his progress 2 3 4. He supports Shi Lin’s decision to travel with Shi Hao despite the danger, cautioning his son rather than holding him back 28.
