In Huang Liang
's home in Huangmu Village, Lin Jiang casually set up the simplest soundproof ban to block the prying of Huang Liang's family.
"Senior..."
"Sit down"
"Thank you, senior"
"I came back this time to end everything here"
"Ah..."
Huang Liang exclaimed, his face quickly faded, a piece of pale.
"It seems that you know what I am going to do"
"Senior, I am already seventy-two years old this year, and I will not live for more than twenty years, please spare my life"
"I really want to forgive you, but you have behaved very poorly in the past few years"
Lin Jiang said, if he hadn't left a big sand sculpture to watch him, this guy would have run away long ago. Once he ran away, it meant that Lin Jiang's secret had hidden dangers, so he had to die, no room for negotiation, even if God came, he had to die.
"Senior..."
"You may give it a try, I am only at the fourth level of Qi training now"
"I..."
Huang Liang's face was withered, how could he dare to give it a try, if he really had the courage, he would have done it a few years ago.
"You came to Huangmu Village more than nine years ago, and your path to immortality has been cut off. You are seventy-two years old this year, and you can live to a hundred at most, which means you only have twenty years left. Your hope now is your children, right?"
"Yes."
"So I give you a choice. Either you give it a try. If you win, you can live another twenty or thirty years, and you can also get my opportunity, but if you lose, your whole family will die. The second choice is that you commit suicide. I will treat your wife and children well, and your wife will be taken care of. If your son has spiritual roots, he will have the opportunity to become an immortal."
"Senior, why are you so aggressive? I'm just a casual cultivator. Even for my family, I won't tell you your secret."
"No, I only believe that the dead can keep secrets."
"What about them, what about those villagers?"
"They won't die, they will live well."
"Why, why do you treat them so differently?"
"It's very simple. They are my own people and my friends,"
Lin Jiang said. In Huangmu Village, Lin Jiang and them had been together day and night for almost eleven years, and built Huangmu Village bit by bit. This feeling was different. Lin Jiang treated them as his own people, while Huang Liang and his family had never actively integrated into Huangmu Village.
They had always been arrogant, treating the village as private property and the villagers as slaves.
"I..."
"You choose your own life, don't you? If you treated me as a friend, then this would not be the ending now. Just give me the result before tomorrow morning,"
Lin Jiang said. If Huang Liang could treat every villager sincerely in Huangmu Village in the past few years, then Lin Jiang would definitely not kill him, but would give him an opportunity.
"You definitely didn't use the name Lin Kai in the Five Elements Sect. The villagers outside would know and they would be exposed."
Huang Liang was still making his last struggle, but Lin Jiang ignored him and continued to walk out.
Lin Jiang will break through the foundation building at the age of 60. His current public age is only 18, and there are still more than 40 years. By then, Xiao Yuan and the others will all be old and dead. Lin Jiang will explain the younger generation and make up a story for them. There may be flaws and loopholes, but there will be no logical problems.
As for whether to take risks, Lin Jiang doesn't care. He will try his best to reduce the risk to the lowest level.
In the evening, Huangmu Village held a grand dinner. Lin Jiang personally went to hunt some beasts. There was no limit to wine and meat. Tonight was a happy night.
The next morning, Huang Liang died. He committed suicide. He broke his meridians and had no wounds. Lin Jiang told everyone that Huang Liang died of old age and would give him a grand funeral.
"Lin Kai, the immortal is dead. There is no immortal guarding our village. What should we do?"
Xiao Yuan fell into panic again. Immortals are too important to mortal villages and towns.
"Uncle Xiao wants me to stay?"
"Yes, Lin Kai, now that an immortal finally appears in our Huangmu Village, you have to help us."
"I won't stay."
"Ah."
"But I will help you cultivate an immortal,"
said Lin Jiang. He had a spirit stone on him that could detect spiritual roots. He didn't believe it, because he couldn't find anyone with spiritual roots.
Xiao Yuan felt a little dizzy after hearing this. This was beyond his understanding. So, can they also become immortals?
······
After burying Huang Liang, Lin Jiang summoned all the people in the village who were under 40 years old and over 10 years old to test their spiritual roots. This condition was much lower than the normal one in the world of immortal cultivation, but it didn't matter. Lin Jiang didn't want them to become immortals, but to have basic self-protection capabilities.
Among the more than 70 people, only one person was detected, and that was Fang Yuan. Lin Jiang was speechless. The probability of ordinary mortals having spiritual roots was really small. Fortunately, Fang Yuan had three spiritual roots, so there was some hope.
Lin Jiang has a lot of skills in his collection. He picked a suitable one for Fang Yuan and taught him how to practice. Lin Jiang will stay for about half a month, but he will not live in the village and will find another place to live.
"Uncle Xiao, I have something to talk to you about."
"Lin Kai, what's the matter?"
"In the sect, my name is Xiao Yi."
"What, I want to be your father?"
"Uncle Xiao, is that what I mean?"
"But my son's name is Xiao Yi."
"Fake identity."
"Oh, oh, I see."
Xiao Yi suddenly realized that it was Lin Kai who used a fake identity, which made him happy for nothing. He thought Lin Kai wanted to recognize him as his father. After all, he also regarded Lin Kai and Fang Yuan as his own sons.
“Uncle Xiao doesn’t understand the seriousness of this matter. If the sect gets to know, I will die, you will die, and our entire Huangmu Village will die”
“Ah, so serious”
“It is so serious”
“Lin Kai, can’t you explain it clearly to the sect?”
“No, we can only make the best of a bad situation”
“This, this, this…”
“So you have to listen carefully to what I say next, and you must strictly follow what I say, so that everyone can survive”
“You say, and I’ll remember”
“First, from now on I will be called Xiao Yi. You have to tell all the adults in the village. The reason is that my original name is Xiao Yi, and Lin Kai is my pseudonym. Second, your son has to change his name. The Yi in Xiao Yi must be changed to the same pronunciation but different characters. Third, the village must be relocated. It does not have to be done immediately, and it can be done within 20 years”
Lin Jiang said. The first point is the most important. All the adults in the village will have their memories replaced collectively, and they will all call him Xiao Yi. When this group of people grow old and die, the younger generation will remember this name, and when someone asks about it decades later, they will only remember that there was an immortal named Xiao Yi in the village.
As for Xiao Yuan's son's name change, that was a small matter, and the third point was to take precautions. In the Xiuxian world, villages and towns like this would disappear and be born every year. If Lin Jiang didn't come back for decades, it would be normal for the village to disappear. At that time, it would depend on how determined the Five Elements Sect was to investigate Lin Jiang's identity.
But Lin Jiang thought it wouldn't be a big deal. There were at least hundreds or even thousands of inner disciples in the Five Elements Sect. If they were to investigate every one of them, how much work would it take?
"Lin Kai, we have to move. The village has finally settled down."
"When Fang Yuan becomes a cultivator, it will be easy to move. And your son may also become a cultivator in the future. I will leave a legacy. If we are lucky, every generation in the village may become an immortal. For the sake of future generations, this matter is nothing."
"Really?"
"Really, it will happen in the future."
"Then uncle will listen to you."
"Okay, you come here with Fang Yuan every day in the future. I have a magic pill to regulate your body and ensure that you live to the age of eighty without illness or disaster."
Lin Jiang said. The specific details still need to be discussed repeatedly with Xiao Yi and others, but the general direction is like this. It will take decades to change the memory of the next generation.
Fang Yuan spent nine days to draw Qi into his body and became a cultivator of the first level of Qi training. Lin Jiang also gave him common knowledge of cultivation every day. Lin Jiang got a lot of information from the Five Elements Sect and gave it to him. He can read it slowly in the future.
The spiritual field left by Huang Liang will also belong to Fang Yuan in the future. The nourishing pills left by Lin Jiang from the Five Elements Sect School of Goodness will also be given to him. In addition, there are some spiritual talismans and the like. Lin Jiang left enough things to help Fang Yuan go through the most difficult initial stage of cultivating immortals.
Xiao Yi has been eating the pills brought back by Lin Jiang these days. He feels that he is ten years younger. He thinks that with his physique, it is absolutely no problem to have three or five more children.
In addition, Lin Jiang also gave him a more advanced martial arts technique, which he learned from the Lin family. With Lin Jiang's guidance, Xiao Yi's martial arts have greatly improved. He can barely deal with the first-level inferior monsters. Before Fang Yuan grows up, he has the strength to protect the village.
The details of changing the memory have also been finalized. Lin Jiang suggested that Xiao Yi get some stone tablets, diaries and other things after he left, and change the Lin Jiang in them to Xiao Yi.
"God has bestowed a great mission on this person, and God has bestowed a great mission on this person. We will see the result in a few decades."
Lin Jiang was very satisfied with his plan. He rarely made plans for decades. He always felt that his IQ was not very high, but this time, he felt that he would succeed.
"Stone tablets, diaries, word of mouth, I know, Lin Kai"
"Ahem"
"I know, Xiao Yi"
"Don't let it slip in the future. I will give you another time, forty years. If you haven't died of old age in forty years, Uncle Xiao and Fang Yuan will leave the village. You must ensure that people who know my name is Lin Kai will not stay in the village after forty years. Do you understand?"
Lin Jiang felt unsafe and set the last warning again. The average lifespan of ordinary mortals is very low, only about forty-five years old, but there will always be a few special ones who can live very long. Xiao Yuan is a martial artist with good physical fitness, and Fang Yuan is a cultivator. It is not a problem for them to live to seventy or eighty years old, provided that there are no accidents.
Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan both agreed. Lin Jiang had been talking about this matter for more than ten days, and they had completely memorized it. They even understood that it would be the safest thing for Lin Jiang to kill all of them with one sword, but Lin Jiang did not do so because he was cherishing their friendship.
