Lin Wu said, "Master, let's go with the Lord of the Four Ridges. There are many places like Baimin Village in this world, and there are many people like those villagers..."
Before he could finish his words, suddenly a dazzling white light rose from the distant hillside, illuminating half the sky.
An inexplicable suction force suddenly appeared, pulling Lin Wu's body, as if trying to take her somewhere.
Lin Wu staggered unexpectedly.
Mochuan subconsciously went to help her.
But the hand went straight through Lin Wu's body! ——Lin Wu was becoming transparent!
Lin Wu immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted to Mo Chuan.
"Master, we will meet again!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Wu disappeared in front of Mo Chuan.
Mochuan walked quickly forward and looked around.
Empty.
"She's back to where she should be."
The Lord of Siling suddenly came out from behind a house not far away and walked towards Mochuan slowly with his arms folded.
Mochuan stood still for a moment and looked back at him.
"Where did she go?"
The Fourth Ridge Master raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest: "It's rare that you are starting to get curious."
Mochuan looked at him expressionlessly.
The Fourth Ridge Master spread his hands, "I can't, and I can't say it. Even if this Ridge Master transcends the six realms, it is still within the law of fate, and the secret cannot be revealed."
Mochuan turned his head and looked at the dilapidated yard.
"However," the Fourth Ridge Master changed the subject and added somewhat maliciously, "This Ridge Master can tell you that you are not destined to be together."
Mochuan looked at him in surprise.
"I don't believe it."
"You are also restricted by the laws of fate. It is destined to be like this."
The main road of Siling Mountains.
Mochuan's eyes remained calm and silent, as if he didn't care about it.
But just as Si Ling was about to leave, he suddenly heard him say.
"Can Thirteen Ridges cultivate fate and karma?"
The Lord of the Fourth Ridge suddenly stopped, turned around in surprise, and said after a moment: "Of course. There are thirteen destiny stones in the Thirteen Ridges, and the twelfth destiny stone is the way of the main destiny. After you integrate into it, you will be able to gain enlightenment, jump out of the six paths, and not be disturbed by cause and effect. But——"
He looked at Mochuan intently.
"You are more suitable for the eleventh life stone, which controls life and death. The reason I came to find you is because you have a connection with the eleventh master of this mountain."
Mochuan walked straight up to him.
"I can still be your Eleventh Ridge Master, but I want the Twelve Life Stones."
The Fourth Ridge Master sighed, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You are trapped between life and death. If you don't choose it, you won't live for more than a hundred years. The Thirteenth Ridge also doesn't want to bother to predict the next Eleventh Ridge Master."
"If you can guarantee that you can escape death after taking the Twelve Life Stones, the Thirteen Ridges will want you. But in this case, there is only one way to do it."
"What?" Mochuan asked.
The Lord of the Four Ridges said slowly: "Cut out your exquisite heart with seven orifices, and fuse it with the Life Stone to refine it into a magical instrument. You will live by relying on the Life Stone. This magical instrument is not so easy to refine, and it must contain your Tao. After cutting out your heart, you will also cut off all emotions and love."
Mo Chuan was just stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."
The Lord of the Four Ridges looked at him intently and asked, "What path do you want to cultivate?"
Mo Chuan did not think too much: "Three Life Path."
"Okay, let's call the magic weapon we're going to make the Three Lives Stone. Wuling Lord is a master at making weapons, he will help you, but he can't help you offset the pain in the process. I hope you can hold on by then."
The Fourth Ridge Master patted his shoulder and said, "That's fine. You can sleep for a hundred years to recover and then wake up after you get used to it."
Mo Chuan took a final silent look at the dilapidated courtyard, then followed the Four Ridge Lords.
…
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Wu found himself back in the cave! He was lying on the tangled roots of a tree.
She got up quickly and looked around.
She is the only one.
Where's Mo Chuan? She should have successfully broken through the illusion, so Mo Chuan should have woken up from it, so why isn't he here...
Lin Wu inadvertently looked up and was shocked by what he saw.
At some point, the cave had grown several times larger than before! The entire old tree had also regained its vitality, towering like a crown, and the part embedded in the mountain wall was exposed! It was as if that part of the mountain had disappeared out of thin air.
Lin Wu was amazed and noticed that there seemed to be a rectangular black object in the middle of the tree trunk about seven or eight meters above, like a stone bed.
She looked at it a few more times, and suddenly an idea popped into her mind.
The old man said that if she could bring the tree back to life, she would have a chance to meet the Eleventh Ridge Master.
Could it be that the Eleventh Ridge Master, Mochuan, was lying on it? She did feel other life forces when she was testing the old tree before.
The forest fog climbed up along the winding tree trunk and quickly approached the thing.
When I looked up, I saw that there was indeed a person lying there, and judging from his outline, it was a man!
Lin Wu crawled closer to take a look. The man was dressed in a cloth robe. He was tall and straight. A half mask covered about 80% of his face. His eyes were slightly closed, and his red lips and chin were clearly defined and stern.
It really was Mo Chuan! However, unlike in the illusion, he now had a head of white hair, all scattered about his body.
Lin Wu walked carefully to the stone bed, looked at him, and wondered how to wake him up.
She remembered that Mo Chuan was unharmed at this time. Would waking him up directly cause any trouble like last time?
"Mo..." Lin Wu paused as he was about to call out, and changed his words: "Master of the Eleventh Ridge?"
You can’t call me by my name because the pronunciation and meaning of the name are inconvenient.
It’s not easy to call her Master, as she can’t explain.
The man didn't move. Lin Wu poked him with his hand, but seeing no response, he pinched his wrist and tried to use magic to find out if he was sleeping due to some mysterious technique.
But just when Lin Wu was about to grasp his vitals, he was suddenly clamped by the backhand.
Lin Wu looked up and saw that the man had woken up! Because he was not yet awake, there was a dull look in his eyes.
"you……"
This scene was too familiar! Lin Wu was afraid that he would do it like last time, so he quickly said, "I am a person from outside who came to seek help from the Thirteen Ridges. I came here to find you, the master of the Eleventh Ridge, under the guidance of my senior."
Mo Chuan stared at her, seemingly reacting to everything in front of him.
Lin Wu was a little curious.
Is he in a dream? Will he remember her?
But that magic only concealed the appearance of the old tree and him under the tree. Mo Chuan in the illusion also had black hair, which was different from him, so he should not have entered the illusion . Lin Wu tentatively stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Master Eleven, you are looking at me like this because you think I look familiar?"
The man seemed to come back to his senses at this moment. He immediately let go of her and sat up.
Lin Wu subconsciously stepped back to make way, but he didn't notice that he stepped on empty air.
Fortunately, the man was quick to grab her hand and prevented her from falling. However, Lin Wu fell down beside the stone bed in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Mo Chuan immediately stopped and glanced at her, his voice still a little hoarse after waking up.
"Why? Is this a greeting gift from you outsiders?"
Lin Wu: “…”
Do you think it looks like this?! (End of this chapter)
