Yunzhou, Zhonghang Sect

Lin Jiang found Cao Ying by a stream. She was surrounded by hundreds of children, who were washing in the stream like kindergarten teachers.

The children were covered in mud because they had also worked hard for the day. Cao Ying loved these children very much, but she would not spoil them. Even if they were very young, she would take them to the fields to work. This was their ability to survive in the future.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sunlight was shining on Cao Ying. Lin Jiang was suddenly dazzled. He seemed to see a holy light.

It must be said that Cao Ying's temperament of the emperor of the human race has become stronger and stronger since the late stage of the war between the two clans, and what she has done in these years is definitely comparable to that of the emperor of the human race.

"Brother-in-law..."

A group of little brats saw Lin Jiang and laughed and shouted. They called Cao Ying sister and called Lin Jiang brother-in-law, although they didn't know that Lin Jiang had never held Cao Ying's hand again in all these years.

"Why are you here?"

Cao Ying drove a group of little brats back home and walked over to Lin Jiang and said.

"It's time to go. It's the 20th year."

"So soon?"

"Look at those little brats. Many of them are not orphans anymore. They are the children of your disciples. Do you want to drag them down generation after generation?"

"I..."

"Let's go. If you don't leave, I'll leave."

Lin Jiang said directly. This time he didn't compromise. If Cao Ying didn't leave, he would leave.

"Give me three days. After three days, we'll leave together."

Cao Ying finally agreed when she saw Lin Jiang's firm attitude.

"Okay, I'll prepare the things for leaving in these three days,"

Lin Jiang said. Now the road from Zhongxing Sect to the place where Cao Ying was sleeping was gone. It was thousands of miles away, so she had to prepare.

Starting from the next day, Cao Ying began to make arrangements, and the news that she was leaving was immediately publicized. Almost everyone in Zhongxing Sect came to ask Cao Ying to stay. There were too many natural disasters in recent years. If the leader's prestige was not enough, it would not be able to suppress it. At present, only Cao Ying could suppress it.

But Cao Ying's attitude was also firm this time, and she was not moved at all. In the end, all the pressure was on Lin Jiang. At first, they begged Lin Jiang to stay with Cao Ying. Seeing that Lin Jiang was not moved, their faces changed. They began to abuse, curse, and intimidate, saying that Lin Jiang wanted to kidnap Cao Ying. They used all kinds of means.

Even on the third night, a woman took off her clothes and broke into Lin Jiang's room, and then called Cao Ying to destroy their relationship.

Lin Jiang didn't say much about these behaviors. He had seen through human nature. It was a good opportunity to let Cao Ying see what kind of people she had helped for twenty years were like.

······

"After this mountain, there is no way forward."

After three days, Lin Jiang and Cao Ying left Zhonghang Sect without looking back. Cao Ying didn't say a word about the farce of those three days, but her behavior had already made a judgment.

"Let the horses go. According to the previous map, it's only a thousand miles from here to that place. We can get there in one day with Qinggong."

"Take me there."

"Okay."

Lin Jiang wanted to separate here, but since Cao Ying said so, Lin Jiang decided to take her there.

The two packed up their luggage, let go of the horses they had ridden, and then used Qinggong to hurry on their way. Both of them were martial arts masters. Although they could not fly, their Qinggong was enough for them to fly over the treetops at a very fast speed.

After a few rest stops on the way, they finally arrived at the cave that had been arranged in advance in one day. Lin Jiang lit a torch and walked in front.

The cave was very deep, and almost nothing could be seen inside. After walking for a long time, they came to the edge of a cliff. Under the cliff was the destination.

The 100-meter-high cliff could not stop the two of them. They flew down. Lin Jiang found the night-shining pearl from before, wiped off the dust on it, and the cave began to have a little light.

"The formation has lost its spiritual power and has become ineffective, but you can still use it with your internal force. Do you know how to do it?"

Lin Jiang asked. The energy source of the formation was spiritual power before, but now it can be replaced by internal force. Of course, it will be much more troublesome, but it is not impossible.

"I know how to do it. I will go to make you a meal. After eating, we will separate. I don't know how long it will take for us to meet again after this separation." "

Okay, don't be afraid of separation. Separation is for a better meeting next time. When the Heavenly Dao wakes up and the spiritual energy recovers, you will have a chance to become an immortal."

Lin Jiang nodded. Lin Jiang didn't know when the spiritual energy would recover, but he always had a little expectation in his heart. By then, Cao Ying would be able to become an immortal, at least there would be a chance.

Cao Ying nodded, then went out to find some things. There were no pots and pans, but they could barbecue and eat wild game they caught on the road.

"Have a drink, it's the last bit of spiritual wine"

"The spiritual energy is gone"

"That's also spiritual wine. I have treasured it for hundreds of years. If it were in the past, this jar of wine would be worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones"

"Then I have to taste it carefully"

Lin Jiang laughed. There are very few things from the immortal cultivation era that can be preserved to the present, especially consumable things like spiritual wine. Use less and less.

Lin Jiang took a sip and it was indeed delicious. It should be a top-grade spiritual wine, but Lin Jiang couldn't taste it. He didn't like it very much.

The two drank wine, ate barbecue, and talked about their hopes for the future. There was a bit of an atmosphere of a night talk around the fire.

"I'm done, I'm done, Xiaoying, I should..."

After an hour, Lin Jiang finished eating and drinking, and got up to leave, because he saw that Cao Ying's eyes were a little green, like a hungry wolf, and he was a little scared.

But just as he stood up, Lin Jiang's legs went weak and he immediately fell to the ground, exclaiming, "Xiaoying, did you put something in the wine?"

"Yes"

"Why"

"What do you think?"

Cao Ying stood up, lit torches all around, and then took out two pieces of clothes from his bag and spread them on the ground. They were all monster leather, firm and soft.

"Xiaoying, don't, don't, don't, a forced melon is not sweet" "

Really? You've been a brother-in-law for so many years, and you still think it's a forced melon?"

"No, Xiaoying, that's not what I mean. Look, I'm not alone. I have a sister and a brother. This matter requires a formal marriage, right?"

Lin Jiang quickly got up and prepared to run away, but his hands and feet were weak. The next moment, a silk thread entangled Lin Jiang's feet and dragged him back.

"This is what Lin Die gave me. Even if you recover your cultivation, you may not be able to break free. Just obey me and don't force me to tie you up."

"Xiaoying, don't do this."

"You forced me to do this. For so many years, it was all you forced me to do."

Cao Ying tore Lin Jiang's clothes and yelled.

She felt that she was forced. She coaxed her that they could stay together forever in the future, but after hundreds of years, they had been together day and night for so long, but he didn't even hold her hand. She brought up ambiguous topics many times, but she tried her best to avoid them. Is it easy for a girl like her to do this?

Now they are going to separate. Who knows if it will take hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of years to see each other again. If there is still no sign, then we can only use force.

"Ah, don't..."

"Stop, stop"

"Don't, stop..."

··········

Lin Jiang woke up slowly, but didn't dare to open his eyes. Instead, he listened carefully to the movement. Seeing that it was quiet all around, Lin Jiang opened his eyes. The torch had gone out and it was very quiet all around.

Lin Jiang got up and relit the torch, then put on his clothes. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He was actually knocked out by the drug. This was the first time in his three thousand years of life. Anyway, he refused to admit that he was knocked out by exhaustion.

Cao Ying had already fallen asleep. Lin Jiang took a look and saw that there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. He probably fell asleep with a smile on his face.

"Forget it, forget it, hold it in, hold it in."

Lin Jiang wanted to wake Cao Ying up and beat him up, but in the end he gave up. Just think of it as a loss. Suffering a loss is a blessing.

After packing up his things and sealing off the place, Lin Jiang quietly left.

"It's snowing?"

Walking out of the cave, Lin Jiang saw a layer of white frost outside and a few snowflakes falling from the sky. His face suddenly changed.

Except for some high mountainous areas, Yunzhou never snows. If it snows, who knows how many people will die, or how many people will survive.

"Flood, drought, meteorites, plague, locusts, snow, all kinds of disasters are happening one after another. Will there be a volcanic eruption next? No, there has already been a volcanic eruption in another state."

Lin Jiang was thinking. Several common natural disasters have already happened. Even in a stable place like Yunzhou, the population has dropped to less than 30%. You can imagine the miserable situation in other places. The human race is definitely going to be exterminated.

"Look at the weather. There is a possibility of a heavy snowstorm. I have to go to sleep."

Lin Jiang took a look at the weather. It is still a light snow stage, but the sky is gloomy. There is a high possibility of a heavy snowstorm. Lin Jiang did not dare to stay outside for too long. With his current strength, it is easy to collapse in such extreme weather. It is better to go to sleep early.
