Chapter 53 He's destined to die anyway. If he possesses another body, I will kill him. ...
If she doesn't want to listen, does that mean Lu Jiao will just stop talking?
That's impossible.
So, with great foresight, she covered his mouth to stop him from speaking, and continued to negotiate with him, saying, "Fine, I'll learn, but can you not use it on me? If you can, nod; if you can't, just keep it to yourself." She wanted to suffocate him.
Lu Jiao neither nodded nor held back; he escorted her away to a place a thousand miles away.
When she flew out, Lin Jianyu was very calm, but when she landed, she became somewhat unsettled because she landed on a person, or more accurately, on a corpse.
asphyxia!
After getting up, she quickly ran back to Lu Jiao's side, then sat down on the spot, exhausted.
"It's almost dark, why haven't Qianli and the others returned yet?"
No one answered her question because she was the only one there; Lu Jiao was not human.
Lu Jiao, who wasn't human, ignored her, and she didn't speak to him again, taking off her backpack and rummaging through it.
Yeah, looking for something to eat.
I'm so hungry.
Unfortunately, besides her personal belongings, her backpack contained only a stack of yellow paper, a calligraphy brush, and a small jar of prepared cinnabar.
She stared at the cinnabar in the jar for a long time, but in the end, she didn't go so far as to put it in her mouth.
"Do you know how to hunt? Hey, I'm asking you a question!" Lin Jianyu tugged at Lu Jiao's clothes to get her attention.
Lu Jiao glanced at her and said, "Stand up."
"Are you going hunting as soon as you stand up?" Lin Jianyu asked expectantly.
Lu Jiao retorted, "You're dreaming!"
Lin Jianyu: "..."
I wasn't that hungry.
"Then you should dispose of those corpses. It's getting dark, and it's kind of creepy."
"Handle it yourself."
"You have to handle it yourself! I didn't kill him." Lin Jianyu said loudly.
Lu Jiao wouldn't listen.
Lin Jianyu stared at him for a few seconds, then gave in.
Mmm, it's so good! The more I look at it, the hungrier I get, and I almost cried.
"I'll dig the hole, and you go hunting. It's settled then." Lin Jianyu tugged at his clothes to get up from the ground, and without waiting for his reply, she found a tree branch nearby and started digging the hole.
After digging a couple of times and finding it difficult to work, she pulled out the whale-shaped tool and continued digging.
To be honest, while Whale Fighting isn't good at killing people, it's quite useful at digging holes. After digging for a while, it dug a small hole. Yes, not big.
Even the best sword is still a sword. Using it to dig a pit big enough to bury several people is not an easy task.
Lin Jianyu wanted to give up after a few minutes; he simply didn't have the strength.
No, let them rot in the wilderness! She's seen plenty of ghosts, so she's not that afraid of them.
After successfully convincing herself, she immediately abandoned her sword-wielding, broke off the branches she had just picked up and put them in the pit, then called Lu Jiao to start a fire for her.
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao gave birth to her child, hoping she would settle down.
But there was no way she could stop eating; she was still hungry!
With fire, she was less afraid and sent Lu Jiao hunting again.
"My roasted rabbit is delicious. If you don't believe me, go and catch one, and I'll roast it for you."
Lu Jiao didn't believe it and didn't go.
Yeah, if you don't believe it anymore, why bother going?
Lin Jianyu urged him with her eyes for a long time, but when he still didn't budge, she gave up.
"Never mind, I won't eat." She was still worried about him leaving in this desolate place.
Let them go hungry for now; Qianli and the others can't stay away forever.
Three hours later, Lin Jianyu understood a principle: nothing is absolute, anything is possible, and Qianli and the others really might never come back.
"I hope nothing bad has happened to them?" Lin Jianyu began to worry.
Lu Jiao remained silent, but it was easy to tell from his expression that he wasn't very concerned.
“How about we go find my master ourselves, and you carry me and we fly, just like before?” Lin Jianyu suggested.
Lu Jiao remained silent.
"Are you deaf? Or mute?" Lin Jianyu raised her hand and waved it in front of him.
Lu Jiao glanced at her, his thin lips parted slightly, but before he could make a sound, Lin Jianyu covered his mouth: "Don't say I'm thinking about food, I'm so hungry that I don't even care about farts."
"Then you eat farts," Lu Jiao said.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
She shouldn't have pulled her hand back; she should have smothered him to death.
"Go find my master. I can walk by myself." Walk for a while, and when you can't walk anymore, climb onto his back.
“Your master is dead,” Lu Jiao reminded her.
Lin Jianyu: "...Even if he dies, I will find him."
“I can’t find him,” Lu Jiao said. “I can no longer sense his presence.”
"So, you just can't sense his presence, not that you sense he's dead?" Lin Jianyu discovered the key point.
"Is there a difference?" Lu Jiao asked.
“Of course there is,” Lin Jianyu said. “The reason you can’t sense it might be a problem with the connection between you, but dead is dead.”
Lu Jiao didn't think there was anything wrong with her senses, but she didn't refute her words either, only saying, "Everyone has to die eventually."
"Not necessarily. He can still possess another body, and I'm willing to let him do so." Lin Jianyu wasn't someone who readily made sacrifices, but if the other party was her master, she was willing to sacrifice herself.
“If he tries to possess me, I will kill him,” Lu Jiao said.
Lin Jianyu: "...There's no need to love me so much, really. My master saved my life, and I've already gained so many more years. As for the two of us...maybe in the next life. I'll definitely marry you in the next life."
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao smiled.
As he flew away, Lin Jianyu thought to himself, "So it's not just humans who laugh when they're speechless; merfolk laugh when they're speechless too."
After knocking down several trees, Lu Jiao's anger finally subsided, and Lin Jianyu finally calmed down as well.
Looking at the trees that had been knocked askew by her, she couldn't help but complain to Lu Jiao, "My body hasn't even been buried yet, and you've given me so much work to do. Are you trying to kill me?"
“If you want to die, I can grant your wish,” Lu Jiao said.
Lin Jianyu might be afraid of other threats, but death... "Come on! You wouldn't even let my master possess my body, yet you want to kill me."
"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with them, it's that anyone who uses forbidden techniques to harm others must die," Lu Jiao explained.
Lin Jianyu wouldn't listen: "How did he harm me? He saved my life in the first place. If he possessed me, at most it's a failed attempt to save me, how could it be considered harming me?"
"You can't expect him to risk his own life to save someone! That's not reasonable, let me tell you."
What she said made perfect sense, but unfortunately Lu Jiao was informing her, not reasoning with her.
"If he can possess you to save his own life today, he can possess someone else to save his own life tomorrow."
“That’s slander,” Lin Jianyu said.
"Then just take it as me slander," Lu Jiao said indifferently. "Anyway, I won't leave this potential problem behind."
"I'll kill you." Lin Jianyu pulled out the Whale-shaped sword and held it against his neck.
Lu Jiao didn't move and said, "You can't kill me."
Lin Jianyu didn't believe it and was prepared to kill him to show him, but unfortunately Jing Qi was useless and couldn't hurt him at all after cutting for a long time.
Well, this time Whale Rising didn't curve, but that's all it was—it just didn't curve.
"How thick is your defense? It can't even cut through with such a sharp sword."
“It has nothing to do with the sword, it’s because you’re too weak.” Lu Jiao defended Jing Qi.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Lin Jianyu angrily threw down his sword and turned to plant trees.
Halfway through planting, she came back to pick up her sword and start digging holes.
Hmm, she plans to dig the pit under the tree roots deeper and then put the corpses of those cultivators in there. This way, she can solve the problem of planting trees, and also the problem of fertilizing... ugh, she can also solve the problem of corpses. It's a win-win situation.
Although the soil under the tree roots was a little loose, digging a hole was still hard work.
She was exhausted after digging for only a short while.
"Help me, make the pit bigger, I need to bury the body. Hurry up, don't make me cry."
Lu Jiao didn't know if he was afraid she would cry or something else, but in any case, he waved his hand and dug a big hole for her.
Yes, a huge pit, big enough for her to bury all the bodies in.
But wouldn't that lead to overnutrition?
Never mind, as long as the body is disposed of.
Moving the body was hard work, but Lin Jianyu didn't bother Lu Jiao anymore, because she would need to trouble him again to fill in the soil later.
After moving the body, and after troubling Lu Jiao to fill the soil and plant the trees, Lin Jianyu collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
Nearly seven hours had passed since they returned, and it was late at night, yet Qianli and the others still hadn't come back.
"If they haven't returned by dawn, we'll go find my master ourselves." She needed to sleep; she was too exhausted.
She pulled the covers up, hugged Lu Jiao's arm tightly, tilted her head, and fell asleep instantly.
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't, so she just let her be.
When I woke up, it was already bright daylight.
Before her brain could even wake up, her stomach was already rumbling. Before she even opened her eyes, her stomach was already growling.
"I'm so hungry." She hadn't eaten anything all day.
"Aren't you hungry?" she asked Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao said, "I'm not hungry."
Lin Jianyu: "...I'm hungry, let's go find something to eat."
"Aren't you going to look for your master anymore?" Lu Jiao asked.
"I'll look for him, but I'll look for food first." Although her master was more important than food, she needed food first to survive in order to find her master.
In the autumn mountains and forests, it's easy to find something to eat. Various fruits, nuts, wild vegetables, mushrooms... Lin Jianyu puts everything that can be eaten directly into her mouth. She doesn't waste anything that can't be eaten directly; she stores it all up to eat when she has the opportunity.
After eating plenty of fruit and nuts, she was finally less hungry and could go find her master.
"Which way?" she asked.
"I don't know," Lu Jiao said.
Lin Jianyu: "??? Are you kidding me?"
"Hmm?" Lu Jiao asked, puzzled.
"Hmm what? Tell me which direction my master is in," Lin Jianyu said irritably.
"I don't know." Lu Jiao repeated the same thing, and before Lin Jianyu could get angry, he added, "I can no longer sense his presence."
“Then go in the direction you last sensed him,” Lin Jianyu said.
Lu Jiao finally sensed that Lin Jinshui was heading south, so he led Lin Jianyu south.
After walking for a while, Lin Jianyu stopped.
"How long will it take to get there if we walk like this?"
"I don't know," Lu Jiao replied bluntly.
Lin Jianyu: "...You carry me and fly." As she said this, she was already climbing onto Lu Jiao's back.
Before she could even put her arm around Lu Jiao's neck, Lu Jiao had already sent her away a thousand miles away.
unwise!
"You don't have to react that fast, really."
"Go by yourself," Lu Jiao said.
Lin Jianyu: "How long would it take to get there if I walked all this way?"
"I don't care." Lu Jiao has plenty of time.
“…If you’re going to walk, then walk.” Lin Jianyu said this to lower his guard so that he could climb onto his back when he wasn’t looking.
The ideal was beautiful, but in reality, she had to fly away several times along the way.
The fish was never off guard; it was a miracle that she was able to climb onto his back the first time.
When she first flew out, she was determined to stick with him to the end. But after flying out several times in a row, she told herself that nothing in the world is difficult if you are willing to give up.
After giving up, she didn't go any further, but stopped to draw talismans.
Well, she plans to use the method she learned a thousand miles ago: applying a speed-traveling talisman.
After laying out the yellow paper and dipping her brush in cinnabar, she realized she didn't know how to draw a swift movement talisman.
It was... kind of awkward.
"How do you draw a speed-traveling talisman?" she asked Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao had never drawn a Swiftness Talisman, but he had seen Yun Dan draw one. Theoretically, he should be able to do it, but in reality, he shook his head and said he couldn't.
It's impossible to teach her; with her aptitude, it would probably take forever.
Lin Jianyu may not be good at other things, but she is actually quite good at copying others. The problem is that she doesn't have a copycat right now.
I can only draw other symbols based on my memory.
She had studied runes and could draw some common runes, but this was the first time she had infused them with spiritual power, so she drew them very carefully.
She drew a peace talisman. It was the first time Lu Jiao had seen it, and he thought she had drawn the swiftness talisman wrong because she was learning it from Yun Dan. He was thinking that it was fortunate that he had shaken his head, otherwise it would have taken forever to teach her.
Just as he finished thinking this, he saw Lin Jianyu pick up the drawn talisman and say with great joy, "It's done."
It's done?
Lu Jiao looked at the talisman in her hand with suspicion. The runes on it were not exactly the same as the Swiftness Talisman drawn by Yun Dan, but they were completely unrelated.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
“I’m sure,” Lin Jianyu said. “I’ve seen the peace charms my master drew, and they’re exactly the same as the one I have.” Her peace charms were originally drawn by her master, using a gourd as a model.
"A peace charm? Didn't you want to draw a speed-traveling charm?"
"I don't know how to use the Swiftness Talisman, and the runes drawn by Senior Brother Yun Dan are too abstract." I can't understand them at all.
"Then why did you draw a peace charm?" Lu Jiao asked.
Lin Jianyu said, "I plan to go to a nearby town to exchange some money and call my third uncle to ask him for help in this emergency." Well, magic won't work; she plans to take a car.
No, she went to catch a bus. What about Lu Jiao? No, her eyes have turned blue now, how can she catch a bus?
"Can this thing turn back?" she asked Lu Jiao, pointing to her eyes.
Lu Jiao didn't understand: "Huh?"
“Eyes,” Lin Jianyu said. “Blue eyes make it easy for people to mistake me for a foreigner, which is inconvenient for selling talismans.”
"Oh." Although Lu Jiao didn't quite understand what she said later, he understood what she said earlier. After understanding, he directly raised his hand to cover Lin Jianyu's eyes. When he withdrew his hand, her eyes had already turned back to black.
“It’s back to normal,” he said.
"So fast." Lin Jianyu felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and it was over. However, she didn't doubt his words, because through his eyes, she could see that her pupils had indeed turned black. "How did it turn? I want to learn."
"I'm helping you directly because I don't want to teach you," Lu Jiao said frankly.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Lin Jianyu knew why he didn't want to teach him; well, when he spoke, the disdain in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"If you don't want to teach me, then don't. I have my own teacher."
“Your master is dead,” Lu Jiao blurted out.
"I f***ing..." Lin Jianyu didn't finish her sentence, but the brush in her hand was already poking at his face, which he dodged. "If you're so capable, then don't dodge."
Lu Jiao would be stupid not to dodge.
He not only hid, but he also hid in a tree.
Seeing a fish leap onto his head, Lin Jianyu abandoned his urge to cut down the tree and continued drawing talismans.
After drawing a few pictures and having her fill, she stopped and called to Lu Jiao in the tree, "You can go now."
Lu Jiao climbed down from the tree and immediately launched into a fierce fight. After finishing, she chuckled and said, "You got what you deserved, huh? Now you want to fight me?" A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but she's different. She's a petty person, and petty people take revenge all day long.
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao could have dodged it, not only this time, but every time she had hit him before, but he didn't dodge, or rather, he didn't want to dodge, because he knew she couldn't hurt him at all, at most she could only humiliate him.
Usually, in situations like this, he would retaliate with even greater insults.
For example, right now.
Lin Jianyu, hanging in a tree more than 20 meters high, began to think about how to get down.
Well, usually she just falls straight down, it doesn't matter how high, she won't die from the fall anyway. This is the first time she's faced it head-on like this.
Although she is no longer afraid of heights and will not die from a fall, she will feel pain. The pain that comes unexpectedly is different from the pain of jumping down on her own.
"You're really going too far now. It's not enough to bully people, you have to insult them too." Lin Jianyu shouted at Lu Jiao as she carefully climbed down.
Lu Jiao ignored her.
She stopped yelling and focused all her attention on her feet.
After finally getting down from the tree, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Jiao, "Don't do that again next time. I have dignity too."
"Heh." Lu Jiao chuckled, his voice not loud, but extremely insulting.
Lin Jianyu wasn't angry at being insulted, mainly because there was no point in being angry. He picked up Whale Rise and Whale Fall and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a nearby town to sell talisman paper."
Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao was dressed in white, her long black hair was tied up with a hairpin, and her eyes were green...
"If your eyes are impaired, can your eyes turn black again?"
Lu Jiao didn't say whether he could or not, but directly turned his pupils black.
Lin Jianyu looked again, but it still wasn't good enough; the whole thing was just too eye-catching.
"Even if you're not a person, can you at least become uglier?"
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao hung her on the tree again.
Well, he found that hanging her on a tree seemed more interesting than sending her away a thousand miles away.
Lin Jianyu was unfamiliar with the place the first time, and wasn't very familiar with it the second time. When she came down, she slipped and almost fell.
"No, just say no, why resort to violence? Can't we still be a happy couple... I'll say next life."
Lu Jiao didn't speak.
Lin Jianyu was used to it and could continue the story on his own.
"You're still not really suited to appear in public like this. Your appearance isn't suitable, and your outfit isn't suitable either. By the way, could you change your clothes? Could you change into something less eye-catching, like something like mine?"
Lu Jiao remained silent, but her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked at her.
Lin Jianyu: "...Forget it, I won't go to town." She's never cheated or swindled before, and she might not succeed, so she'd rather not bother.
"This is for you." She handed Lu Jiao a folded amulet from her pocket, saying, "It'll keep you safe."
Lu Jiao took the talisman, and almost instantly, the runes on the talisman turned into a faint blue light and entered his body.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Lin Jianyu said helplessly, "That's not how you protect yourself, you carry it with you." As she spoke, she gave him another amulet.
This amulet was not spared either.
Lin Jianyu: "...I gave this to you to keep you safe, you're eating it like a snack! I'm not giving it to you anymore." She kept it for herself to protect herself.
She wouldn't give it to him, and Lu Jiao didn't want it either; he just took it directly.
Lin Jianyu watched helplessly as a faint blue light emanated from his pocket and then disappeared into his body: "..."
How can a fish be so rebellious!
"Take the payment and fly me for a while, or I'll cause trouble."
Lu Jiao reached out and grabbed her by the back of her collar.
Lin Jianyu turned around and hugged him as if by reflex.
That was close, I almost suffocated again.
“Fly!” she said.
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao eventually took her flying away.
This flight covered a distance that took them most of the day to travel.
Therefore, we still have to use flying.
Unfortunately, Lu Jiao was stingy. He said he would take her flying for a while, but he only took her flying for a while, unlike Qian Li, who took them flying for a while and made it comfortable, allowing them to sit or lie down.
"I've been thinking about him for ages, where on earth has he gone?"
