Chapter 257 The shared love between master and disciple
When Lin Zhi and Yuan Zhi returned to the Sun family to look for the person in charge, the banquet hosted by the Sun family for the Guiyi Sect had just ended.
Looking at the state of the Sun family, I'm afraid they know nothing about what happened in the formation.
Lin Zhi didn't look anxious at all, and whispered to the person in charge as if joking.
"The Sun family may be in collusion with the Hehuan Sect. There is a maze formation in the city that can confuse the mind. The end of it is the Hehuan Forest. Yuan Zhi and I have already fought with them and left in a hurry. The current situation is unclear."
The person in charge's expression changed slightly, but he did not show too much surprise. When the head of the Sun family tried to keep him, he said goodbye and said that there were other things that needed to be dealt with urgently.
It was not until they left the Sun Mansion's territory that the person in charge called Lin Zhi and Yuan Zhi to ask for clarification.
At least the letter that Lin Zhi had someone send only stated that they were looking for someone here, but did not mention the Hehuan Sect or the maze formation, let alone anything related to the Sun family.
The leader understood the whole story and was furious when he heard that the two of them were in danger. These two were inner sect disciples with single spiritual roots. If they were to be killed here under his leadership, how would he have the face to explain to the sect?
The Hehuan Sect knew that the disciple was from the Guiyi Sect, but still dared to attack him here. This was a blatant contempt.
What’s even more abominable is the Sun family, who actually colluded with evil cultivators under their protection.
After learning that Yuan Zhi and Lin Zhi had killed several evil cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the person in charge looked at them with surprise and approval, and praised them highly.
After reporting the matter to the sect and receiving a response, the leader asked Lin Zhi and Yuan Zhi to lead the team to the place where they entered and left the formation and find the location of the entrance and exit.
The disciples seemed very excited. They thought there were only monsters, but they didn't expect there were evil cultivators hiding here.
However, the person in charge forbade them to enter the formation. After visiting two places, he only let them guard the entrance and exit respectively.
"The situation inside is unclear. Since the Hehuan Sect was able to secretly establish a base here, they must have made a lot of preparations. If someone escapes from inside, we will be able to surround them and be safe."
Lin Zhi calmed the disciples' restless hearts with just a few words. They were divided into two teams. The senior brother with the highest cultivation level led people at the entrance, while Lin Zhi and Yuan Zhi led people to guard the exit.
Guiyi Sect quickly sent two Jindan cultivators to expose the collusion between the Sun family and the Hehuan Sect. Dealing with the Sun family and destroying the Hehuan Sect's stronghold here was a matter of half a day with the three Jindan cultivators.
The town had a new leader and everything became peaceful again, as if nothing had happened before.
Lin Zhi found Gao Qu, but the young man who always loved to fan himself and say that he wanted to return to the human world to be a rich and idle man had closed his eyes forever.
Through the narration of the insider, Lin Zhi understood what happened to him, which was very similar to the original owner's experience.
After leaving Guiyi Sect, Gao Qu got off the spirit boat here. He should have gone home, but he was targeted by the people of Hehuan Sect, who taught him secret techniques. Gao Qu, who was identified as having five spiritual roots, was already somewhat disheartened, but when he heard that practicing their techniques could temper his spiritual roots, he happily followed them to practice.
But he soon discovered that there was something wrong with this kind of practice. The intercourse in the Hehuan Forest and the trapping of mortals made him realize the essence of the matter, but it was too late. He tried to escape from the formation but was caught after a while. This was exactly the scene that Lin Zhi saw.
As a traitor, he naturally did not have a good ending. When Lin Zhi entered the Hehuan Forest, he was already dead.
Lin Zhi buried him with his old fan pendant as a burial object.
"Brother, don't be too sad."
Yuan Zhi stood beside Lin Zhi and comforted him awkwardly.
Lin Zhi smiled at him, indicating that he was in a good mood.
He was not sad, he was just thinking that life and death are unpredictable and it would be the same in any world.
Even in a world like Xie Qing's, people still have consciousness after death and can play escape games before reincarnation, with the hope of returning to the human world, but they are still completely dead in the secular definition and cannot change the present world in the slightest.
Pei Duo's world is, on the contrary, the place where the boundary between life and death is the most blurred. There are ghosts and monsters, but even so, life and death are different, and there is a separation between yin and yang.
Lin Zhi didn't care about it. As long as the life and death of others didn't cause him trouble, he didn't care. As long as the work was done and there was nothing unfinished, he didn't care much about his own life.
But gradually, he began to care about it because some people were trying hard to survive.
Lin Zhi looked at Yuan Zhi in front of him and said, "Let's go."
Even though Lin Zhi wanted his lover not to live for him, he knew that he was an important pillar of his survival in the world.
As the lover loves him more and more, the road to redemption will come to an end sooner and they will meet at the end sooner.
Although some problems occurred in the first town in the Low Spirit Realm, since Lin Zhi and Yuan Zhi were not seriously injured, after the matter was resolved, the two did not return to the sect, but continued to train with the team.
After resolving the troubles in ten towns, the Guiyi Sect's team returned.
This trip was very fruitful for Lin Zhi. Not only did he conduct large-scale experiments on his abilities, but he also applied them in actual combat, generating many ideas for improvement.
After returning to Guiyi Sect, after seeing off his master and third senior brother who came to visit him, Lin Zhi began to meditate and attain enlightenment, and he didn't even have time to see Yuan Zhi.
A month later, a small thundercloud appeared on the top of the misty mountain and dissipated after a while.
Lin Zhi successfully built his foundation, and felt the increasingly abundant spiritual energy and wider and tougher meridians in his body, and curled his lips in satisfaction.
However, the light pink crescent on the fair abdomen still firmly occupied its original position, as if it was a mark that had been there since birth and showed no signs of disappearing.
Lin Zhi stroked the crescent moon with her fingertips, thinking about what Liu Suiqing once said, that the higher the level of cultivation, the more frequent the attacks of the love poison, and fell into deep thought.
This thing can be used, but it must also be resolved.
Lin Zhi thought about it in his mind, touched the Thousand Heart Flower that was growing stronger and stronger, fed it with spiritual liquid, and then walked out of the room.
After going out, he saw the young man in black waiting at the door.
"Brother."
Yuan Zhi called him softly, his eyes lit up and he looked very happy.
Lin Zhi was a little surprised: "Junior brother, why are you here?"
He did not set a date for his retreat, so Yuan Zhi should not know the date, so how could he appear outside his door?
Yuan Zhi pointed to the sky and said, "Jieyun, I will protect you, Senior Brother."
Lin Zhi realized that he had forgotten this.
Yuan Zhi continued, "I also sent a message for Senior Brother Yan and Senior Uncle Ren. They left Yunwu Mountain in advance for something, so they asked me to keep an eye on them."
"Brother, do you know what it is?"
Yuan Zhi nodded: "Uncle Ren said it was related to his eldest disciple, and they went to ask my master to come out of seclusion."
From Yuan Zhi's narration, Lin Zhi understood the whole story.
Lin Zhi is the fourth in the sect. Since entering the sect, he has only met his third senior brother Yan Peng, because the other two are not in Guiyi Sect.
The second senior brother likes to travel around and likes to search for spiritual plants everywhere. The higher the level and the more precious the spiritual plants are, the more secretive the places where they appear. According to the third senior brother, the second senior brother has not returned to the sect for nearly fifty years.
As for the eldest senior sister, her whereabouts are currently unknown.
One hundred years ago, the eldest sister entered a secret realm and never came out again.
Her soul lamp did not go out. Ren Hebo spent a long time and tried many ways to find her, but to no avail.
Just a few days ago, Ren Hebo suddenly received a message from his senior sister, and immediately found Ting Yan, asking him to come out of the sect to help, and asked Yuan Zhi to pay more attention to Lin Zhi's movements.
"I have been in seclusion these days and have not been able to respond to your message in time."
Lin Zhi felt a little apologetic. He had just discovered that the communication bead had several fluctuations of spiritual energy.
"It doesn't matter. Senior brother's business is more important."
Yuan Zhi shook his head, not feeling disappointed because he had been ignored for some time.
When he saw Lin Zhi, those emotions were soothed.
Excluding the few days of guarding here, it has only been four hundred thousand swords, which is not a long time at all.
His soul is so clear and bright that people can see through it at a glance.
"I'm going to water the spiritual plants now. Junior brother, do you want to follow me?"
Yuan Zhi naturally followed, closely behind Lin Zhi, watching his spiritual energy nourish the flowers and plants.
"Cold crystal bamboo can only grow to this size. It is very delicate and beautiful."
Lin Zhi introduced Yuan Zhi to the white, ice-crystal-like bamboo in the nursery and leaned over to touch the tips of the bamboo.
They are still young and only as tall as a human calf. They can only grow to this height in their lifetime. When their outer shell changes from a transparent ice crystal to a white jade shape, they are mature.
"It is very beautiful."
Yuan Zhi nodded without hesitation. In his heart, Lin Zhi's hand holding the bamboo was far more beautiful than the bamboo itself.
Later, Yuan Zhi discovered that it was even more dazzling when his senior brother's hand was on him.
Lin Zhi originally thought that it might take some time to find his senior sister, but before he could take Yuan Zhi to finish looking at the spiritual plants, there was a disturbance in Yunwu Mountain.
The master came back and headed straight for the cave, and stopped the cloud boat when he saw Lin Zhi.
"Xiao Zhi, your senior sister is not in good condition right now. I'm afraid I'll have to protect her for many days. Tingyan is not in good condition either. I communicated with that old man Wu Dong and learned that he was in seclusion. I was planning to let your third senior brother take care of Jian Zun, but he was injured and has things to take care of in the mountains. You should go and take care of your uncle Tingyan for a few days. Follow the prescription for the medicine here."
Ren Hebo was rarely impatient and spoke very quickly. He threw a jade slip to Lin Zhi and left in a hurry.
It happened in just a few blinks of an eye. Before Lin Zhi could read the jade slip, the third senior brother appeared on Yunwu Mountain, panting.
His spiritual energy had obviously dried up, so Lin Zhi fed him some Yuan-boosting pills. He immediately started meditating and seemed unable to communicate for a while.
Seeing this, Lin Zhi did not disturb him. He found another disciple and asked him to pay attention to it. He read the contents of the jade slip and went into the warehouse to get the medicine and register.
"Brother, I'll take you there."
Before Lin Zhi could summon his crane mount, Yuan Zhi stopped him.
The pitch-black, unsheathed sword grew larger in the air. Yuan Zhi held Lin Zhi's hand and took him to Wujian Mountain on the sword.
"I don't know if Master Uncle is seriously injured."
Lin Zhi frowned slightly. In addition to her concern for Ting Yan's injury, she also had some other considerations.
He had to get close to Tingyan, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so soon.
Hearing Lin Zhi's concern, Yuan Zhi replied: "It shouldn't be serious."
Anyway, he won’t die. If Tingyan was about to die, he would be able to feel it.
Lin Zhi had no doubts, but when she walked to Tingyan Cave and heard intermittent coughing coming from inside, she began to doubt Yuan Zhi's judgment.
On the warm jade bed, the sword master with dishevelled black hair had a face paler than the jade pillow, and his lips were bloodless, like a lotus that would wither at any time.
He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Zhi, then covered his lips and coughed lightly, revealing his hidden illness.
He looked back and met the expressionless soul with indifferent eyes.
