They've left?
Lin Yu frowned.
These two words contain a lot.
It seems that the old man's passing was not so smooth.
Death is not something everyone can accept calmly.
The people of Daxia, in particular, value a good beginning and a good end. Those who can die a good death are considered to have great blessings and have lived a very fulfilling life as human beings.
That's something that money and status can't achieve.
A key point is stance.
Those who choose the wrong side rarely meet a good end.
Nothing was said that night.
The next day, Lin Yu set off for the East China Sea with Murong and Shu.
The vast sea is shrouded in mist.
A yacht is sailing on the sea.
Murong Heshu personally took the helm.
"I went there once when I was a child with my grandfather. It was a tribute mission for our clan, and it was the first time I witnessed the splendor of our ancient martial arts clan!"
"Is it shocking?"
"Yes, it's like a paradise, I even thought it was heaven. The people there work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and they eat all kinds of pollution-free food, organic vegetables, and free-range chickens. They're nothing like the city people nowadays!"
"City dwellers can do it too, as long as they have enough money!"
"That's true. But ordinary people can't afford it. Take the Wuchang rice that my family eats, for example. It's genuine Wuchang rice, and the annual yield is only tens of thousands of kilograms. My family gets a few thousand kilograms. The cost of rice alone is several million yuan every year!"
Lin Yu nodded. "Besides, some things can't be bought with money! For example, I've barely tasted the original Da Hong Pao tea from Wuyi Mountain!"
"Tch, you just don't like drinking it, otherwise you could just go and uproot those mother trees!" Murong Heshu couldn't help but tease.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up. "That's right, you reminded me! How come I didn't think of that?"
Murong Heshu: "..."
"But to be honest, I really miss that taste. I had it once in Longhu Mountain!"
After drinking it, I felt like all the pores on my body opened up, and the feeling was amazing!
"You still have connections with Longhu Mountain?" Murong Heshu asked with slight surprise.
Lin Yu nodded, "Zhang Tianlai, the current Celestial Master, is my little brother!"
"Nonsense!" Murong Heshu said with a disbelieving expression.
Lin Yu frowned. "What's there to brag about? If you don't believe me, give him a call and ask!"
"..."
Murong Heshu felt quite speechless. How could she go to the Celestial Master to verify something like this?
Besides, she didn't even know the phone number!
She pursed her lips and said, "I've always thought Taoism is quite mysterious!"
"I have to correct you. Taoism is Taoism, and the Taoist religion is the Taoist religion. They are two different things!" Lin Yu said.
"Oh, oh!" Murong Heshu reacted, her pretty face blushing, and said, "Even if it's Taoism, it's still quite mysterious to me. In my impression, even the ancient martial arts clans don't dare to underestimate Longhu Mountain. It's said that there's a power there that even the ancient martial arts clans fear!"
Lin Yu nodded. "That's for sure. The Great Xia Dynasty is much larger than you imagine. In fact, I suspect that there are still some ancient sects hidden in certain secret realms or even in the space-time rifts. Otherwise, how could such a fantastic and magnificent history have declined to this state!"
Murong Heshu nodded. "You're right. I thought about these things when I was a child, and even wondered if we humans were being blocked by higher-dimensional beings. You see, we can only study superficial things, and we can't even leave the solar system! You know, in ancient times, a great god could shoot down the sun when he was angry!"
Lin Yu nodded. "Indeed, with the lower dimensions, human lifespans have become shorter. Something must have happened in between, but history has been fragmented, and many things have been lost. We can only find some clues through archaeology!"
"Actually, I quite enjoy studying these things. I always fantasize about one day wandering the world and traveling everywhere!" Murong Heshu revealed a longing expression. "Maybe I might encounter some opportunities like you and become a monstrous martial arts genius!"
"Do you think I became like this because of some opportunity?" Lin Yu frowned.
"Isn't that so?" Murong Heshu retorted. Kaba's eyes said, "I've heard everything; you seem to have obtained... a celestial treasure?"
Lin Yu suddenly fell silent.
At this point, the yacht had reached a secluded sea area, extremely open and deserted, with only a vast expanse of white fog and nothing else.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Murong Heshu seemed a little nervous.
Lin Yu sighed and said calmly, "He Shu, do you know what I hate most in my life? People who betray me!"
"What do you mean?" Murong Heshu's expression was somewhat unnatural, and he unconsciously leaned towards the ship's side.
Lin Yu didn't make any move, but simply shook his head. "I only told Han Ling Shuang about obtaining the Immortal Treasure, and she has already been controlled by me with poison. She can't possibly betray me, so... your rambling just now was just to trick me into telling you what to do. What is it?"
Murong Heshu panicked and immediately tried to jump into the sea.
Lin Yu grabbed her with his large hand, and she floated back like a falling leaf, whereupon he grabbed her by the neck.
"Lin, uh, Song..."
Bang!
Lin Yu threw her onto the deck, saying, "I'll give you one sentence to explain in exchange for my pity!"
Murong Heshu's tears streamed down her face as she pursed her lips and said, "They captured my grandfather and used his life to threaten me, forcing me to lure you to this sea area!"
Lin Yu's brows gradually relaxed, and he sighed, saying, "Your grandfather has already abandoned you, yet you still care about whether he lives or dies!"
Murong Heshu shook her head, her eyes red, and said, "No matter what, she is my grandfather, the one who raised me since I was a child. Others may not care about family ties, but I cannot be ungrateful! Lin Yu, I know I've wronged you, just kill me!"
Waaah!
At that moment, a gale-force wind, carrying dark clouds, swept rapidly toward the sea area where they were located.
Lin Yu stood on the deck, hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind, yet his figure remained as still as Mount Tai.
"The wind is picking up..."
His eyes flickered as he gazed into the depths of the dark clouds, muttering to himself.
