Chapter 71 Chapter 71 End of the text
"Stop!" the old Taoist shouted angrily.
In the past, Su Yun was able to control himself in every crisis. He thought Su Yun was afraid of thunder tribulation. He had held back so many times in life-and-death situations, so why couldn't he control himself when it came to him?
Wasn't he afraid of being struck by lightning? He didn't even seek revenge when Master Ziyuan was right in front of him? Why was it wrong for him?
Su Yun didn't care about him and continued to improve his cultivation. Before he could finish condensing his skills, a loud thunder struck down, and the lightning covered the sky and the sun, instantly enveloping the temple.
Being struck by lightning and fire was very uncomfortable. Su Yun stared at the Taoist figure closely. Cracks slowly appeared on her body under the lightning. When her magic power was almost condensed, she rushed to the Taoist priest with all her strength and punched him in the face.
The fierce fist wind carrying lightning struck the old Taoist priest, obstructing the surrounding vision. Su Yun retreated after the fight, and after the thunderbolt shattered the formation, he restrained his overflowing cultivation. The lightning contained in the sky struck down three times in total, and then it was contained in the thundercloud and did not continue to fall.
After the lightning stopped, there was thick fog all around. The lightning set the temple on fire, and it was impossible to see where the Taoist priest was.
Su Yun took out his folding fan and waved it. A strong wind blew past, rubbing against the thunderclouds and bringing down a rainstorm, extinguishing the rain and thick fog. At the same time, it brought thunder, fire and water and attacked the place where the old Taoist had stood before. No matter whether the old Taoist had dodged it or not, he had to give it a try.
However, as soon as the tornado passed by, there was a crisp sound of metal collision, and the tornado was blocked and the wind dissipated. Su Yun saw Lin Lang holding up his sword to block the old Taoist, and the old Taoist was unharmed.
"Lin Lang?" Su Yun exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Lang expressionlessly made a sword flower to disperse the remaining breeze, then stood there holding the sword, without saying a word.
The old Taoist laughed loudly, walked out from behind Lin Lang, raised his hand and patted Lin Lang on the shoulder: "You are worthy of being my disciple. Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by that monster."
The scene before her was completely beyond Su Yun's expectations. She could never have imagined that Lin Lang would be the murderer's apprentice. So, did Lin Lang appear a year ago because the Taoist regretted his decision, or did he specially send someone to monitor her?
Su Yun raised his folding fan and blocked it in front of him: "Lin Lang, why don't you explain?"
The old Taoist sneered, "My disciple came down the mountain to slay demons and monsters. If you keep a monster like you, it will only bring disaster to the world. Disciple, don't waste your words on her. We are master and disciple working together. No matter how strong she is, she will die here!"
After saying that, the old Taoist raised his whisk and attacked. Lin Lang glanced at Su Yun and also rushed over with his sword. Lin Lang's cultivation was much higher than the old Taoist. He started later, but passed the old Taoist and arrived in front of Su Yun first. He chopped down with the old sword, but was blocked by Su Yun's folding fan, splashing sparks.
The next moment, the whisk stretched out from behind Lin Lang, trying to wrap around Su Yun and control her. Seeing this, Su Yun simply turned his folding fan, pushed Lin Lang's sword aside to relieve the force, and at the same time cut off the whisk that was sticking out. After turning around on the spot, Su Yun quickly retreated, leaving only the severed white beard of the whisk on the spot.
The two of them are indeed a bit troublesome, and with Lin Lang around, Su Yun's cultivation level needs to improve before he can fight him, but that will bring about a thunder tribulation.
When Su Yun met the Taoist priest, she wanted to delay time and wait for Lin Lang to come. As a result, the person did come, but he was from the opposite side. If she had known this, she would have just killed the Taoist priest with the thunder at the beginning, and it would not have been so difficult to fight Lin Lang alone later.
Just as Su Yun gritted his teeth and prepared to continue to attract heavenly thunder to fight them, the master chef and the beautiful ghost rushed out from the dark forest. They took out their weapons and aimed them directly at the old Taoist priest. However, the old Taoist priest had strange body movements and hid directly next to Lin Lang. The weapons of the master chef and the beautiful ghost were knocked back by Lin Lang's sword.
The master chef and the ghost landed beside Su Yun, and the master chef asked anxiously, "Director, are you okay?"
There was no sign of injury on the two men's faces. Su Yun shook his head: "I'm fine, are you all right?"
The ghost immediately complained: "We are fine. It was Lin Lang who trapped us at the stairs. We couldn't get out. It was only when the thunder came and shattered his illusion that we realized something happened to you, the curator. Then he froze us where we are."
"Then how did you break free?" Su Yun knew Lin Lang's cultivation level, and his immobilization technique was not easy to get rid of.
"Hmph, kid, your skills are high, but you are still too young. There is a solution to every immobilization technique. The old curator and his men left behind quite a few treasures. There are just a lot of substitutes in the funeral home warehouse. You don't need to break free by yourself." The master chef mocked.
Su Yun seldom carried such small items, thinking them useless. Fortunately, an old man like the master chef was thoughtful and prepared for a rainy day, so he just came up with it.
The old Taoist snorted coldly: "Humph, it will be the same if there are two more. Disciple, these two are thousand-year-old evil spirits. If we catch them and send them to the underworld, it will be considered as eliminating harm for the people!"
After saying that, the old Taoist rushed directly towards the master chef. He knew that the master chef was the oldest and this kind of person was difficult for a child to deal with. They were full of dirty tricks and combat experience. Even if Lin Lang had a high level of cultivation, he could only protect himself at most and it would be difficult to catch and kill him.
Seeing the old Taoist's distribution, Su Yun quickly said, "Ayan, you help the master chef. Lin Lang's spiritual light protects you. You can't get close to him. I'll do it."
Before, the ghost had only grabbed Lin Lang's arm and had her painted skin burned off. Now that Lin Lang had disregarded their feelings, both the master chef and the ghost found it difficult to face him.
Su Yun simply blocked Lin Lang, and his long sword and folding fan clashed again, splashing countless shining sparks. After several attacks, the two approached at the same time, the sword body and the fan bone collided, his cultivation kept increasing, and thunderclouds began to roll in the sky again.
"Lin Lang, your master is not a good person. Can't you tell good from evil?" Su Yun asked gritting her teeth. She couldn't mention her cultivation anymore. If she did, the thunder from the sky would fall and strike both the master and the evil ghost.
Lin Lang's sword let out a mournful sound. He didn't meet Su Yun's gaze, but he didn't relax his strength either.
What they were competing on this side was their cultivation, while the other side was competing to see who was more sinister. The master chef fought head-on with the old Taoist priest. His weapon was a huge iron spoon. This hard weapon had difficulty dealing with the old Taoist priest's whisk. The white silk of the beautiful ghost kept attacking from the side, rolling up the whisk to prevent the master chef from being controlled.
In addition, the master chef and the beautiful ghost kept using yellow talismans and disposable magic weapons to attack, but those attacks did not cause any reaction when they fell on the old Taoist.
After the old Taoist once again knocked the ghost away, he sneered: "I am too lazy to play with you. My disciple seems to be soft-hearted and can't be ruthless. I don't have time to play with you."
After saying that, the old Taoist took back his whisk, raised his hand and bit his fingertips, drew a talisman in the air, and the blood talisman hit the thundercloud. In an instant, the rolling thundercloud doubled in size. It was the Thunder and Fire Curse.
Su Yun turned back suddenly: "How dare you, old ghost!"
Demons and ghosts are most afraid of thunder and fire, not to mention the thunder disaster brought by Su Yun. If the thunder falls, the master chef and the beautiful ghost will surely be beaten to death.
As a last resort, Su Yun slightly lowered his cultivation level, but was instantly beaten back by Lin Lang. Lin Lang even raised his sword to block Su Yun's way to the master chef and the sexy ghost.
"Lin Lang, get out of the way! If anything happens to Master Chef and Ayan, I will kill you!" Su Yun roared.
Lin Lang raised his sword to block Su Yun without saying a word, but the thunder had already fallen. Su Yun's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot. He planned to withstand a few of Lin Lang's swords and save the master chef and the sexy ghost.
In a flash, a red light fell from the sky and directly intercepted the falling thunder. Then the red light rushed towards the old Taoist, but was blocked by the Taoist's whisk.
"Who!" the old Taoist roared, but his thunder and fire curse did not strike down.
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed, revealing a Guandao with a red flame stuck in the ground.
The fire illuminated the ruins, and two figures walked out of the darkness, both wearing black funeral home uniforms, one tall and one short. The tall one was a thin man, gentle and polite, wearing a pair of thin-rimmed round-framed glasses, and the short one was a slightly plump woman with long bun hair, and a fair, beautiful and noble face.
Su Yun's eyes lit up: "Dad! Mom!"
Ji Weitang stepped forward, held her Guandao, and raised it with one hand: "Hey, my dear daughter, mommy is not late, right?"
"No!" Su Yun was happy, and then glared at the old Taoist priest, "It was him! He planned to kill me!"
Su Yiling put his hands behind his back and took out a pair of black short blades: "Yunyun, protect yourself later. Your mother and I will deal with the enemy first."
After saying that, Su Yiling's figure disappeared instantly, and Ji Weitang rushed towards the old Taoist priest with a Guandao in hand, the blade scratching the ground leaving a burning red flame. She shouted angrily: "Old ghost, we have been looking for you for several years without any clues, and now you dare to look for Yunyun while we are not here, you are also an old man eating arsenic, you are tired of living!"
Ji Weitang's moves were all powerful and his Guan Dao was a powerful weapon. The old Taoist could barely deal with Ji Weitang, who was of the fire element. However, every time he tried to block, Su Yiling would appear from nowhere and secretly hit him with a knife.
Although his body was immortal and every cut would heal instantly, it was still very uncomfortable and he was at a disadvantage when fighting against Ji Weitang.
The Master Chef and the Beautiful Ghost knew that Ji Weitang and Su Yiling worked very well together. As long as the two of them joined forces, few people could hurt them, so they went to help Su Yun who was unable to improve his cultivation.
Lin Lang originally only wanted to block Su Yun from going over to help, but he soon noticed that his master could not defeat Ji Weitang and Su Yiling together. After defeating Su Yun and the other two, he used the spell of teleportation to come to the old Taoist priest and blocked the dagger that Su Yiling stretched out from the darkness for him.
After being blocked, Su Yiling did not want to fight anymore and disappeared into the darkness again.
However, Ji Weitang stopped his attack when he saw Su Yun running over.
With the red-hot Guandao across his body, Ji Weitang glanced at Su Yun from the corner of his eye: "Yunyun, what's wrong?"
Su Yun looked at the Taoist priest and Lin Lang and said, "Lin Lang, why do you want to help your master?"
Lin Lang glanced at the old Taoist priest and said, "The grace of raising me. I am an orphan and was raised by my master. He is both my master and my father. I will only stand on his side."
That was Lin Lang's master, and he was also the enemy who killed Su Yun. Now he wanted Su Yun's life. Su Yun frowned. Lin Lang's cultivation was a problem. He was very strong. Unless Su Yun could break through the restriction, he would never be able to kill the old Taoist. If he was rescued by Lin Lang, he would have to be on guard against thieves every day in the future.
Su Yun thought about it and sent a message to Ji Weitang: "Mom, Lin Lang's cultivation is too high. Is there any way to separate him from that old ghost?"
As long as they are separated, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling can both kill the old Taoist. He is just immortal, but he cannot defeat Ji Weitong and Su Yiling.
The difficult one now is Lin Lang. He is blocking and it is difficult to break through his defense.
Ji Weitang thought for a moment and said, "Lin Lang, right? You said he is your master and father, so have you ever thought about how you came to be?"
Without waiting for Lin Lang to answer, the old Taoist suddenly shouted angrily: "Shut up! You are just like Su Yun, both of you are eloquent and sophistry. Disciple, don't waste your words with them. They are all monsters and demons. How can a normal person associate with monsters?"
"People in the Jingling Sect don't like to hear what you say. They have been in love with demons and monsters for thousands of years and no one says anything. How dare you act in the name of justice?" Su Yun retorted immediately. Fortunately, Master Che was not there, otherwise he would have been angry to death on the spot.
Ji Weitang took advantage of the old Taoist being choked and quickly said, "Lin Lang, you are the same as Yunyun."
The old Taoist hurriedly spoke up to cover up Ji Weitang's voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, bitch! I picked up your disciple!"
With Lin Lang's cultivation level, even if his voice was louder, it couldn't cover up the information being transmitted. He slowly turned around and looked at his master. It was still the same face, kind and gentle when he was young, who gave him lectures and took him to practice in the mountains. How could such a person be someone like Ziyuan Jushi?
Same as Su Yun?
What does it mean to be the same as Su Yun?
Did he die once, or was he a created being like Su Yun?
Here, there are only two people with the highest cultivation and talent, so high that it seems like one only appears once in a thousand years. Lin Lang did not think he was a genius until he went down the mountain, when he realized that he was out of place. Later, it was Su Yun, who was equally talented, but was trapped in his second body.
Before knowing Su Yun's experience, Lin Lang could never figure out what kind of person Su Yun was. She felt very strange. She was neither human, nor demon, nor ghost, nor immortal. She was nothing, yet she looked exactly like a human.
The sword Lin Lang was holding was wailing. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to ask.
The old Taoist calmed down quickly. He said to Lin Lang seriously, "Lin Lang, don't be deceived by them. If you are the same as Su Yun, why would I work hard to train you? Su Yun is a created celestial being. The treasures of heaven and earth are available to those who are capable. If you are also this kind of person, why didn't I use you when you were a child? Why did I go to so much trouble to find Su Yun?"
"Because of jealousy. When you found out that the celestial being you created could improve your cultivation, you could no longer defeat Lin Lang." Ji Weitang suddenly interrupted.
Su Yun was instantly reminded: "Hey, wait, this seems to be connected. Lin Lang, do you remember the Jade Guanyin that was sent to the funeral home, the Jade Guanyin that Madam Ji sent?"
Things that I couldn't figure out before were finally connected after finding enough clues.
The old Taoist himself said that he initially helped Ziyuan Jushi to find Su Yun. He had not thought about using Su Yun for anything, because at that time he felt that Su Yun was a reward for Ziyuan Jushi. Although he had a bad temper, he had practiced for many years and had a clear distinction between gratitude and grudges. Since Ziyuan Jushi gave him immortality, he naturally had to return one.
Who knew that Mr. Ziyuan had such a fate, and that there was no way he could live forever.
As for changing your mind later, how long did it take?
Su Yun hadn't remembered that Ji Weitang had just mentioned that the old Taoist couldn't beat Lin Lang. Judging from the speed at which Lin Lang's cultivation had progressed, the old Taoist probably resented Lin Lang for being in his teens.
The teenage boy was extremely gifted. At such a young age, he had skills comparable to those of others who had practiced for hundreds of years. Such skills supported him to achieve immortality, and he didn't even need to ask for it specifically.
No matter how good one's character is, facing such a gap, especially when the old Taoist's cultivation has stagnated because of his pursuit of the method of immortality, how can he endure it?
But he couldn't do anything to Lin Lang, a teenager who had lived for almost three thousand years, but he couldn't even beat a child!
The old Taoist began to look for ways to improve his cultivation, and he thought of Su Yun. Apart from immortality, what celestial beings need is sufficient innate qi. The spiritual energy is contained in all the internal organs and limbs. With that spiritual energy, one's cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds.
So, a jade Guanyin was sent to the Su family.
The Jade Guanyin gave Mr. Ziyuan a reason to break up Su Yun. As long as it was broken into pieces enough, everyone could get what they wanted. He just wanted to get a bigger piece of the pie. What's wrong with that?
After all, he was the one who found Su Yun.
Lin Lang looked at the old Taoist: "Master, I have never seen that Jade Guanyin, but later I deduced that it was you who gave it away. I found it very strange. Why did you give it to the Su family? But at that time I thought it was just a transaction between you..."
The old Taoist flicked his whisk in annoyance: "Lin Lang! You don't believe in Master anymore? You really have been playing around since you came down the mountain. How can you practice Taoism if you can't even keep your original intention firm?"
"Your true heart is determined by yourself, not by what others say. Lin Lang, seeing is believing, hearing is false. You have plenty of means to determine whether it is true or not." Su Yun reminded Lin Lang again loudly that as long as Lin Lang was willing, he could completely deduce his past life and what the Taoist had done in the past. He just had never thought about it.
Hearing this, the old Taoist immediately said, "Lin Lang, don't listen to her. If you believe her, no matter what the final result is, your Taoist heart will be gone."
Su Yun laughed and said, "Oh, you just said that he was not in a stable state of mind after playing in the mountains, and now you say that knowing the truth will shatter his mind of mind, so is his mind of mind of mind still there now?"
The old Taoist was so angry that he was fuming. He pointed at Su Yun with a shaking finger and said, "Little devil! You are such a fool! I should have poisoned you to silence you!"
However, Su Yun ignored him and said, "Lin Lang, this situation today will not end peacefully. If you can't kill me, I will come to kill you when my body is fully refined. I will beat him until he tells the truth. Do you want to accept the thief as your father for a few more years?"
After hearing this, without waiting for the old Taoist to retort, Lin Lang directly took out his old compass and calculated bit by bit. Before he finished calculating one line, the old compass was suddenly broken by the whisk. It was a very worn-out item to begin with, and it couldn't even be considered a magic weapon. It was just an ordinary compass that had been used for many years and was about to fall apart.
Seeing this result, there is no need to calculate anymore.
Lin Lang let out a long breath and slowly closed his eyes: "Master, with my cultivation level, I can see the result even without a compass..."
The old Taoist glared at Lin Lang and said, "Yes, but when I adopted you, I really treated you as my disciple! Have I ever been stingy with anything from you? The grace of raising you is greater than heaven, you must respect me!"
Seeing that Lin Lang was about to retreat, Ji Weitang seized the opportunity to attack the old Taoist priest, saying, "Don't flatter yourself. Monk Ziyuan found so many celestial beings, but they all died of torture. You just got lucky! You talk as if you are so great. If you hadn't picked him up, he would have been the second wolf girl. His fate was caused by you. Without you, he could have lived like a normal person!"
After hearing this, Lin Lang subconsciously looked at Su Yun, and Su Yun had been staring at him vigilantly, and their eyes happened to meet.
After learning about Su Yun's past life, Lin Lang always felt that he had heard and sighed many times about this sentence - If it weren't for you, I could have lived a good life.
It turns out that what was applied to Su Yun can also be applied to himself.
But Lin Lang did not feel that he had a bad life. He was picked up by an old Taoist priest, and he had been a Taoist priest since he could remember. He completed his studies in the mountains, and later went down the mountain to study at a Taoist college. Then he inherited his master's mantle and went down the mountain to work in a funeral home.
In fact, his life is much better than Su Yun's. He has no illness, no disaster, and no pain... Oh, maybe it's because when he showed his difference, the old Taoist couldn't do anything to him. When people raise pigs, they always treat the piglets well.
After looking at Lin Lang for a while, Su Yun suddenly took out a compass from his Qiankun bag and handed it over.
Lin Lang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and shook his head: "No, I don't actually need a compass, I just got used to it after training when I was a kid... Can you give it to the police?"
Su Yun took the compass back. She had just wanted to use her tenderness to coax Lin Lang into taking sides, but she didn't expect that he still couldn't let it go. So she planned to take a step back: "As long as I'm alive, he doesn't count as murder under the law, and from beginning to end, he didn't move his hands at all. In other words, there's not a drop of blood on his hands."
From a theoretical human perspective, the old Taoist is not a bad person, because he usually just watches from the sidelines, and everything is done by Ziyuan Jushi. There is no legal provision that requires calling the police if you see a dead person. It just means that you can call the police voluntarily if it does not threaten yourself.
It just so happens that the only time the old Taoist took action was against Su Yun, and Su Yun is still alive. She wants a chance to stay alive, but she can't produce evidence to prove that the old Taoist tortured and killed her. So the old Taoist is not guilty legally.
It can be proved that the mastermind Ziyuan, who was the mastermind of the old Taoist, is dead. Zhao Tuhu was wanted by the Jingling Sect, and in his eyes, Su Yun was also killed by Ziyuan. It cannot be proved that the old Taoist planned to kill people.
Su Yun said directly to Lin Lang: "I have only one request, to destroy his power and immortality skills. If he has nothing left, he can live as long as he wants."
The old Taoist heard it and cursed, "Little devil! Don't even think about it!"
The immortality technique used by the old Taoist priest fixed his age. After his skills and immortality technique were wasted, he would not die immediately, but return to his true old age. His bone age is currently about eighty years old. A long-lived person can live for another twenty to thirty years at most. Considering Lin Lang's face, he was already very lenient.
Lin Lang was hesitating because he knew that this was not tolerance for his master. Losing immortality and power was more painful than death.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Su Yun said, "If you let your master continue like this, he will make a bigger mistake sooner or later. Today you think he wants to kill me and as his disciple, you can't disobey him. What if he wants to kill more people in the future to improve his cultivation?"
It can be seen from the fact that the old Taoist priest repeatedly said that Su Yun and the employees of the funeral home were monsters that Lin Lang could not get over the hurdle in his heart to some extent. Only monsters and ghosts could make him cooperate, but he never killed them completely from beginning to end.
He couldn't even make up his mind to kill Su Yun and his gang of inhuman people. How could he be able to kill living people in the future?
Under the attack of Ji Weitang and Su Yiling, the old Taoist retreated step by step. He suddenly shouted: "Lin Lang! Do you want to watch them kill your master?"
Lin Lang clenched his sword and looked at Su Yun: "Director, you said that as long as my master loses his power and immortality, you will spare his life?"
Su Yun nodded: "Yes, I rebuilt my body, and the cause and effect were broken back then. I can't rebuild the cause and effect for what happened back then and affect my future practice. But today he tricked me into coming here and wanted to kill me, so he has to give me an explanation."
"Okay." Lin Lang responded heavily.
Almost at the moment of responding, Lin Lang arrived behind the old Taoist priest and slapped him on the back. The old Taoist priest's movements immediately stiffened, and then his face twisted and he vomited blood.
No one expected such a sudden change. Ji Weitang retracted the knife he had swung out, and Su Yiling also retracted the knife he had sent out from the darkness.
The old Taoist sent out his whisk, which fell to the ground. His whole body was stiff and he tried hard to turn his head. However, due to the dissipation of his skills and immortality techniques, he slowly returned to his normal old age state. He could not control his aging lumbar spine to turn around, and even turning his head seemed so stiff.
Lin Lang put away his sword, stepped forward to support the old Taoist, pressed a few acupoints on him to save his life, and said: "Master, you raised me up, I will always be your disciple, but I don't want to see you die in the hands of the director in two years. She just didn't train her body well today, but according to the degree of today's thunder, she can die in half a year at the fastest, there is no limit..."
If she were to have a grudge against Su Yun now, she would at most endure it for half a year. She would definitely avenge today's grudge. As a cultivator, she would avenge herself today. The reason why Su Yun had not touched Master Ziyuan before was because Master Ziyuan was very cautious and did not make an enemy with her after Su Yun was reborn.
Now, the old Taoist priest jumped out to make an enemy when Su Yun's body was almost fully grown, so Su Yun would never let him go.
Rather than living another half a year, Lin Lang would rather take care of his disabled master until his death.
Even if Lin Lang's appearance was really because the old Taoist stood idly by and watched Master Ziyuan.
The old Taoist seemed to have lost all his life. He was not dead, but he was so old that it seemed difficult for him to even walk. He tried hard to control his trembling hands and clasped them around Lin Lang's neck, trying to break Lin Lang's neck so that he could die with him. However, it was impossible for an ordinary old man to break the neck of a celestial being with the strength he possessed.
Su Yun walked forward, carefully observed the Taoist's face, and said, "Your death date has been changed. It is now September 27th, ten years from now, according to the Gregorian calendar. Live well for the next ten years. I will tell you the date of your death every year."
People who are not afraid of death will be happy when they hear their death date. People who are afraid of death will go crazy when they often hear their death date. Their mental pressure will increase day by day, and eventually they will drive themselves crazy.
He is already very old, and perhaps he will get all the diseases that only old people will have in the future, but Su Yun will not let him die easily. The death date he sees today is ten years from now, and Su Yun will find a way to let him experience what it feels like for an old person to lose control of his own body and be unable to die.
Just like those chosen children, they are all living people, but they are controlled to be puppets. It has only been ten years, which is a bargain for this old ghost.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Su Yun simply raised his hand and slapped the old Taoist again, breaking several of his tendons and causing him to lose his limbs. Unless he had another great opportunity, he would not even have the chance to practice again.
Lin Lang couldn't bear it: "Director..."
"Since I've let him live, I have to be careful that you won't be soft-hearted in the future. Besides, he has lived for more than two thousand years, so he must know some secret methods that others don't know. I'm just in case." Su Yun said seriously.
The old Taoist was so angry that he fainted. Lin Lang carried him on his back, but didn't know where to go.
Ji Weitong and Su Yiling took care of the matter. They brought down a thunderstorm again to split the temple more cleanly, and the rain put out the fire.
Nowadays, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling no longer do things the same way they did in the past. After losing Su Yun once, they are naturally extremely cautious.
No matter what the Taoist had hidden in this temple, he chopped it to pieces. Once it was destroyed, he had no way of turning back.
After finishing things on the mountain, it was almost dawn. They couldn't take the main road in their current situation, and flying 500 miles on their own was too tiring, so Su Yiling went to the town outside the mountain to take a taxi and then came back to pick them up.
When Su Yiling left, they were waiting at the foot of the mountain. The old Taoist hadn't woken up yet. It was really difficult for him to wake up after fainting from anger at his old age.
Taking this opportunity, Su Yun asked Lin Lang, the master chef and Yan Gui to describe the situation in detail.
Lin Lang apologized to the master chef and Yan Gui, saying that he had actually received a letter from his master earlier.
After the Jade Guanyin was delivered, Su Yun wanted to deduce who sent it. Everyone's results were similar, except Lin Lang's. The location was where he had trained when he was a child, so he became suspicious.
As a master, the old Taoist had actually done a very good job and gave Lin Lang everything he was supposed to. However, they gradually became strangers, probably after Lin Lang turned fourteen.
That year, the Taoist took Lin Lang to gain experience. They encountered a fierce ghost. Lin Lang was frightened and his golden body appeared. It seemed that the purple-gold light was born with him. It was something that the Taoist had practiced for his entire life but had never been able to achieve.
After returning, Lin Lang felt that his master was a little distant from him. Not long after, his academic pressure suddenly became very great. He thought it was normal and tried hard to meet his master's expectations, but his master still seemed unhappy.
About six years ago, the master suddenly became happy again, but his whereabouts became erratic. At that time, Lin Lang was still in college, and he thought that the master was just too lonely in the Taoist temple, so he ran around everywhere.
After graduating from university, the master said he wanted to go into seclusion and gave the Taoist temple to Lin Lang, saying that his cultivation was sufficient and it would be no problem for him to be promoted to abbot. Lin Lang thus inherited his master's purple robe. Little did he know that the old Taoist had obtained Su Yun's organs at that time, and was preparing to practice secretly in order to surpass Lin Lang in the future and then kill him.
Lin Lang lived in the Taoist temple for a while, and he could endure this hard life until a year ago, when his master came back, not out of seclusion, but said he came to see him. Seeing that he was living a very hard life, he said that his practice had reached a bottleneck and he should go down the mountain to travel and see more.
So Lin Lang went down the mountain and began to travel. As expected, he didn't feel comfortable anywhere. But before he went down the mountain, his master told him not to go back in the near future. If he was not sure about the direction, he should tell the fortune for himself.
I don’t know whether the Taoist figured out that Lin Lang and Su Yun were destined to be together, or whether he did something else. Anyway, Lin Lang followed the guidance of the hexagram, found the job advertisement for the funeral home, and applied for the position.
Things have always been simple. He worked hard, and watching the living and the dead come and go in the funeral home was the best way to gain experience.
Lin Lang knew something was wrong with Jade Guanyin, so he secretly sent a message to his master. His master said he would explain it to him later, so he did not doubt it.
Lin Lang was not familiar with this Changyun Temple. He came here with the idea of protecting Su Yun. However, when he stepped onto the stairs, he discovered the illusion set up by his master.
Su Yun had a special body and would not be fooled by the sleight of hand, or rather, the sleight of hand was useless to her, so she walked all the way to the temple smoothly.
However, Lin Lang noticed something was wrong from the beginning, so he left a dummy behind the ghost and actually left quietly as quickly as possible. He came to Changyun Temple and saw his master standing in the main hall.
Lin Lang was very happy after not seeing his master for a long time. However, his master said that Su Yun was a monster who came back to life, and she also destroyed the suppression formation that the Taoist master had worked so hard to make. Su Yun was an evil creature, otherwise why were there casualties wherever she went?
Aren’t enough people dead because of Su Yun this year?
Lin Lang wanted to refute, but the old Taoist said that people like Su Yun should return to death. What's wrong with reincarnation? She can live because of her parents' obsession, not because she can really live.
Does Su Yun want to live or die?
In fact, Lin Lang didn't know the answer, because Su Yun seldom talked about this question. He felt that Su Yun's life or death was all left to nature. She was a very free-spirited practitioner. Her Taoism was too stable, so she ignored life and death.
The old Taoist saw Lin Lang's hesitation and said, "You've been away for a year, so you might have developed feelings for them. How about this? You go and trap the two ghosts. Su Yun is nothing to be afraid of. I will take her in myself. When this matter is over, you can send her off so that we can meet in the next life."
Lin Lang felt that something was wrong: "Master, this is inappropriate. She is a living person now."
"When she was killed by Monk Ziyuan, I was watching nearby. She is a dead person, and dead people should return to death." The old Taoist said firmly.
"What about the murderer? Master, you are here, have you seen him? Or... are you the murderer?" Lin Lang saw many clues during this year of following Su Yun, but still had no answer.
As soon as he asked the question, the old Taoist slapped Lin Lang in the face, saying that he was disrespectful to his teacher and that asking such a question was simply an insult to his teacher and ancestors. As a master and father, didn't he even have the right to ask his apprentice for help?
Lin Lang endured it despite being pressured by his status. If he had to pay for what happened today, he was willing to be Su Yun's servant for the next hundred lifetimes, just as a way to... repay his master's kindness.
What happened later was beyond Lin Lang's ability to think. He seemed to have heard some secrets from Ji Weitang. He had seen the wolf girl with his own eyes and knew everything about the celestial experiment. He also knew his own uniqueness, so it was hard for him not to doubt his master's words and deeds.
If it is wrong from the root, isn't he just recognizing the thief as his father and becoming an accomplice to the tiger?
All these troubles made Lin Lang agree with Su Yun's statement. This was the result of the victim's concession. Lin Lang also wondered if he had become stupid due to practicing Taoism and had lost too much humanity. He began to think that humans should accept the possible consequences of whatever they did.
Many things are difficult to think about, and even after telling Su Yun, I still couldn't find the answer.
Su Yiling hired a minibus, and they all decided to temporarily go back to the funeral home, where there were many people and it would be easier to handle things.
On the way back, the old Taoist woke up and kept scolding Lin Lang, occasionally cursing Su Yun, and he took turns scolding the two young men. Even the driver couldn't stand it anymore and asked if the old man had Alzheimer's disease.
When the Taoist priest heard this, he became even angrier and started scolding the driver, saying that the driver was cursing him.
The driver became unhappy, so he found a nearby mental hospital and threw them away. He returned half of the money and said he would not take the job anymore and told them to figure out a solution themselves.
Fortunately, this place is quite close to Bincheng. Su Yiling went directly to the car rental company to rent a car. He didn't find a driver. He took turns driving with the master driver. At least he returned to Bincheng before the old Taoist priest got so angry that he died.
Lin Lang placed the body in his own room in the funeral home. No matter how he tried to persuade the old man, he just got angry and cursed him harshly. He had no choice but to ask Su Yun to borrow some incense, and then he calmed down.
Everyone was extremely tired, so they took a day's rest. The old Taoist refused to eat, so Ji Weitang asked someone to give him nutritional injections, so he could stay alive.
After everything was packed up, Ji Weitang called Lin Lang and Su Yun over and gave them some evidence.
Lin Lang's story was relatively rare, so Ji Weitang explained to him first: "Yiling and I met you quite a while ago, do you remember?"
Seeing Lin Lang shaking his head, Ji Weitang said, "When you were seven years old, you went into the mountains to collect herbs and were bitten by a snake. It was Yiling and I who saved you, and it was Yiling who carried you back."
Speaking of this matter, Lin Lang suddenly remembered it. He looked surprised and asked, "Is it you?"
Ji Weitang nodded: "Yes, at that time, how could I have imagined so many entanglements later?"
At that time, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling were young and their cultivation was not high. They saw an unlucky child passing by and saved the child, thinking of praying for their missing daughter. What if someone also met their suffering daughter and was willing to lend a helping hand?
After Su Yun's death, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling lived a very tense life. They had to protect Su Yun's body and her soul. They made a special trip to the underworld to find Su Yun's Book of Life and Death and discovered that Su Yun was very difficult to die.
They actually have a very simple method, which is to wait for Su Yun's body to be repaired again, and then put her soul into the body, and it will be restored to the same state as before, without so many restrictions.
The judge of the underworld told them that Su Yun's current body had been refined, and her life and death were different from those of ordinary people. After she died and came back to life, her life chart would remain the same as before.
Ji Weitang and Su Yiling came back and saw the body that was slowly recovering and Su Yun's seemingly excellent horoscope. They worried all night and decided to cut off Su Yun's past.
Su Yun was once schemed and exploited by others from birth to death. Why should she accept such a fate after coming back to life?
Coming back from the dead should be a new life, a new life that has no connection with the past. It doesn't matter whether Su Yun is willing to be their daughter or not. She can do anything. She is free. She can take revenge, escape from Bincheng, or do whatever she wants. She can do anything without any burden.
It is difficult to reshape a better body that has nothing to do with the past. The contract was signed one by one. After everything was ready, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling released Su Yun from the soul lamp and asked her which one to choose, the body that was still being repaired, or a new one.
After making the choice, you will have to endure the pain of your body repairing itself. If it is too painful, you may lose some of your memory.
Su Yun took a look at the corpse whose internal organs and eyes had been dug out, and chose a new one. Her idea was the same as Ji Weitang and his wife. Since she was reborn, she wanted to be reborn without any worries.
But rebirth was too painful, and Su Yun really lost some of her memory. From her disappearance to her rebirth, her memory was vague. In fact, it was a self-protection caused by excessive pain. After she forgot, Ji Weitang didn't mention it to Su Yiling, and only gave a general idea. He planned to talk about the rest after her body was fully recovered and she could bear the consequences.
It took some time for her body to slowly merge into a human form. Su Yun felt as if she had lived again, like a baby, then a child, and then a teenager, running around in a funeral home. When all the gauze was removed, she had grown back to her original age.
At this time, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling wanted to find Su Yun's missing internal organs and eyes. Su Yun had forgotten, but they had not forgotten. They had to find them back and avenge Su Yun.
So they used the excuse of asking Su Yun to take over the funeral home. Su Yun felt sorry for their hard work in the past few years, so he said that they could go out and play for a while. How could people who travel all year round stay here? They must miss the feeling of traveling all over the world.
What happened in the following year was somewhat beyond Ji Weitong and Su Yiling's expectations. While they were looking for organs, those organs were also looking for Su Yun.
They passed each other again and again.
Lai Shu and his team arrived a little late, and when they found her, Lai Shu had already left alone. They later secretly went back to Bincheng and found that Lai Shu was in Bincheng and the liver was at Su's house. These places were too close to Su Yun, so they did not take action and looked for other places.
Who knew that Su Yun would move faster and go to retrieve the rice wine. At this point, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Their speed of searching was not as fast as Su Yun's by chance. They guessed this was God's will.
Later, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling simply went to look for it in a farther place, and suddenly they met Lin Lang's master. They didn't know this old man who had been in seclusion for a long time, but they felt Su Yun's aura from him.
At that moment, the two knew that he was the murderer. Later, after investigation, they found traces of Lin Lang and the location of Su Yun's other organs.
Lin Lang is an experimental subject who has been manipulated many times. His first life can even be traced back to five hundred years ago. In his first life, he was just an ordinary person with few relatives. He should have lived an ordinary life, and then practiced slowly, and finally ended the sufferings of the world. But he was taken away.
In his first life, Lin Lang couldn’t hold on and died at the age of five. In his second life, he held on until the age of six because of his well-trained physique. In each life, he was able to hold on a little longer.
In this life, he could actually last longer, but he was born a little later than Su Yun, so he could not be compared with what Master Ziyuan calculated. The old Taoist thought that only what Master Ziyuan calculated himself could be related to his destiny, so he pushed Su Yun to Master Ziyuan.
But Lin Lang's refined magic cannot be used, otherwise it would be a waste, so the old Taoist waited to accept Lin Lang as his apprentice.
He is a disciple when nothing is going on, and the most helpful treasure when something happens.
The success of the celestial experiment is reflected in the excellent talent. From the moment the old Taoist looked at Lingbao's condition, he began to be jealous of Lin Lang's rapid progress, and he wanted to eat Lin Lang as a tonic.
However, Lin Lang's cultivation improved rapidly, and the old Taoist could no longer defeat Lin Lang. He had no choice but to turn his attention to Su Yun.
This is Lin Lang's part. The evidence Ji Weitang gave him was the birth date and horoscope that the old Taoist kept himself. Each one of them was him, starting from five hundred years ago.
As for Su Yun, her remaining organs were retrieved by Ji Weitong and Su Yiling. They disappeared for a long time afterwards, and they were looking for these organs. Unfortunately, because Su Yun took away some of them, the remaining organs were overburdened and their intelligence was dissipated.
Fortunately, they are all alive.
There was still a tuft of wolf hair. Ji Weitang said, "You guys made quite a commotion at Dilong's place. Your father and I went to check on her later. The wolf girl's symptoms were difficult to recover. We came up with a plan. We wanted her hunter father to take her to the mountains to spend the rest of her life. We didn't want to extend her life any more. A trip to the underworld might end her tragic fate. In her next life, she might be like Lin Lang."
"What about her lover?" Su Yun thought of this question subconsciously.
Ji Weitang was silent for a while, and said: "Most people in the world are not destined to be together. They just met once, which does not mean that they are destined to be together. If it is really destined, they will have a chance to meet in the future after reincarnation, right?"
The matter of fate is too long, and Su Yun can never see the end.
The past came to an end the moment he got his organs back, and Su Yun felt that the empty space in his body was completely filled.
After giving all the organs to Mi Niang and telling her to take good care of them and that she would be resurrected in the future, she happily ran away. Su Yun turned back to look at Ji Weitang: "By the way, Mom, what about the Su family? What's going on with them?"
Ji Weitang smiled and said, "Do you know why raising a ghost always backfires?"
Su Yun nodded: "I know. Raising a little ghost will make the little ghost's evil thoughts grow. When the little ghost grows up, it will not be satisfied with the little things offered to it, and will want to eat the host."
"Not every little ghost has this idea. Sometimes they think their host is dirty. Only evil people will raise little ghosts. They don't do bad things because they raise little ghosts. They do too many bad things and need to raise little ghosts to suppress them. Now that the little ghosts can't suppress them, it can be considered a backlash." Ji Weitang explained softly.
Su Yun immediately understood that her position in the Su family was equivalent to that of a little devil. She looked down on the Su family's methods and felt that the Su family was dirty, and even revenge would dirty her own hands. But if she was not suppressing them, all the evil done by the Su family would come out to take revenge on them.
After receiving Su Yun's liver, Madam Ji and Su's father kept praying to the gods. They were afraid of the liver, and even more afraid of the Taoist priest who was playing tricks behind the scenes. So they began to regret why they captured Su Yun.
But when they gained a different perspective and saw the evil that had been suppressed by Su Yun, they knew that they had no chance of survival.
People will see some special things before they die. Since Ji Weitong and Su Yiling knew that the liver was in the Su family, they specially left acquaintances to watch. The news they sent back said that the ghosts who came for revenge were haunting the Su couple. As the number of ghosts increased, they knew they had no chance and only wanted to protect their two children.
Mrs. Ji couldn't understand many things, but when many people came to seek revenge, she secretly checked the list and found that many of them were people who died later and came to seek revenge. In other words, Su Yun's physique really helped suppress many things, so why didn't it work later?
After checking with Su's father about the ghosts that came to seek revenge, they found out that it was all because of the old man's suggestion that Su Yun and Su Yun exchange fates. He came up with this idea because someone gave him a jade Guanyin statue of unknown origin.
No one could find out who had given the jade Guanyin to him, but the old man liked it very much and kept it in his room, offering sacrifices to it personally every day when he woke up.
Mrs. Ji and Su's father were unable to find out the reason behind the Jade Guanyin. After much deliberation, they decided to give the Jade Guanyin to Su Yun as an apology to her and to save Su Yun's life at the same time.
When Su's father was about to die, perhaps he regretted it, or perhaps he felt that he had to do something to make up for it, so he asked Su Lin to publish the bill. As long as Su Lin did it, those ghosts might let Su Lin go for the sake of the truth and the fact that they could take revenge on others.
Thanks to this evidence, the two children's lives were saved.
Regarding the bills, the police finally arrested a lot of murderers and some people who committed economic crimes. The number is comparable to that of someone who has gone crazy and carried evidence everywhere to report his own family members. Of course, considering the Su family's family background, it should be counted as such.
Lin Lang said that he did not grow up in Changyun Temple. His Taoist temple was in a more remote mountain forest. That was where he grew up with his master. He planned to go back and pack up his things and move the Taoist temple nearby, perhaps on the mountain behind the funeral home.
But during the time he was back, the old Taoist had to work hard for the people at the funeral home to keep an eye on him and not let him run away.
Su Yun asked him why he chose to be behind the funeral home.
Lin Lang replied: "Didn't you say that we should go and inform him of his death date every year? If it's just behind the funeral home, you can take a walk there after dinner. You don't have to walk far."
"You've thought it through very thoughtfully." Su Yun commented.
A few days after Lin Lang left, Su Lin and Su Yun were finally released. However, the police told them that in order to prevent others from taking revenge, it would be better for them to stay under police protection and not go to places without surveillance.
They had a lot of things to deal with, but when they heard that Ji Weitong and Su Yiling were back, they still found time to come over.
Ji Weitang and Su Yiling already knew what they were going to ask, so they told them the information conveyed by the informant, and the two of them burst into tears in the yard.
Su Lin recovered relatively quickly. He wiped away his tears and asked, if Ji Weitang and Su Yiling could come back earlier, would they help? Would their parents not die if they helped?
However, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling both shook their heads. Ji Weitang said, "Didn't Yunyun tell you something at the time? Even with such a heavy rain, the fire in the manor couldn't be put out. They were destined to die. Besides, didn't all the innocent people in the manor get out alive?"
Those who died were not innocent.
Su Lin and Su Yun still left Bincheng. They gave up all the Su family's properties, including the inheritance that had not yet encountered any accidents, and transferred them to the surviving children. The two of them just left with simple luggage. No one knew where they went, and they might never come back.
Lin Lang came back in May with many things and applied to the government for land to build a temple. Because the Taoist priest had completed all the necessary procedures, the application for the Taoist temple went smoothly. The only problem was that the land was not very large because there were too few people, including the almost paralyzed old abbot, who only had two people.
What the government means is that land is very tight now, even in the mountains. If there are many apprentices in the future, they can consider expansion, but now, there is only a limited amount of land that can be approved.
The land was too small, and there was no room for living after placing the main hall. Lin Lang had no choice but to come back and sign a new contract with the funeral home. He used to have food and accommodation provided, and now the basic requirements have not changed, but he no longer has various benefits that other employees have, like he is a temporary worker.
The old Taoist was sent to a Taoist temple on the mountain. When Lin Lang came down to work, he left two paper figures to take care of him. After knowing the truth, Lin Lang found it difficult to face this person who was both his master and father to him, so he could only avoid him.
Five months later, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Yun's body recovered and she could finally use her cultivation at will. She was so happy that she dragged Lin Lang to the mountains and beat him up - because only Lin Lang could withstand her attack. The spiritual power contained in his complete celestial body alone brought him a very high level of cultivation, not to mention that Ji Weitong and Su Yiling had given her a lot of rare treasures.
After stretching his muscles, Su Yun floated back, which shows that he was really happy to have personal freedom.
Ji Weitang found the jade tree that had been sent back before, and told Su Yun that the tree was really the Moon Palace laurel tree, but it could not give immortality. Its function was to repair things. It was found in an ancient tomb deep underground. This kind of ancient relic was of little use. If Su Yun's body had not had problems and it would have been very difficult to repair it, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling might not have brought this thing back.
Now that Su Yun has completed his training perfectly, it is time to release the Jade Tree.
"Why?" Su Yun asked.
"It is also a kind of spiritual creature of heaven and earth. We can borrow it, but we cannot monopolize it. We were not sure whether you would be injured or how seriously you would be injured, so we took a little more. Now we have to plant it back." Ji Weitang replied with a smile.
Since they were going out, Su Yun volunteered, saying that it was time for her to travel, so she took Yu Shu with her and prepared to set off with the special map that Ji Weitong and Su Yiling had drawn up all night. She couldn't be a protected little princess in a funeral home all her life, she had to find her own way forward.
On the day of departure, Su Yun went out with her bag on her back and found Lin Lang had changed into a Taoist robe and was following her with a bag on his back.
Su Yun looked at him in surprise; "No, why are you following me?"
Lin Lang answered honestly: "The road is dangerous, I will protect you... or take care of you."
"With my skills, I don't need anyone to protect me, okay?" Su Yun retorted unhappily, but did not stop Lin Lang from following him.
The two of them carried their bags and began to measure the world with their feet. They were still young and could see life and death, all kinds of things in the world, and the vastness of the universe. Turning around, they would always find themselves side by side with each other.
