Chapter 200 It has to be Lin Du again, the focus is on being different
That night, the crescent moon hung high in the sky.
Lin Du, who was guarding the Dharma, he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Yuan Ye could practice normally. He looked at the spirit stones piled up into a small fortress without frowning.
On the other side, Wei Zhi was silently turning the Buddhist beads, his brows and eyes were so clear and upright that he looked like a silent rock.
Lin Du stood up and prepared to go out to study the night market, and Wei Zhi also opened his eyes.
The two men locked eyes. Lin Du felt guilty and asked in a voice transmission, "What are you doing?"
"Where are you going?"
…
"I'm hungry. Midnight snack." Lin Du met his calm yet intimidating gaze, feeling both justified and angry.
"It's midnight."
"After the Dazhou Night Market, there is a morning market. Anyway, there is always something to eat. It's comfortable to eat a bowl of wontons in the middle of the night."
Wei Zhi kindly reminded her, "You've eaten at least seven or eight meals today, so just be quiet."
Lin Du sighed and sat down feeling depressed.
After a while, Wei Zhi's voice reached her ears, "I have no bad intentions towards Yuan Ye."
"Because he is just like me when I was little, except that he has choices and I don't."
Lin Du sat where he was, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
The man's gentle voice flowed through Lin Du's consciousness.
"I am the last prince of the Posuo Kingdom. At that time, the Posuo Kingdom discovered that the royal dragon energy was waning and was about to be destroyed. In order to continue the royal family, the Great Witch said that the key to whether the kingdom could continue was in me, a baby who had not yet been born. So they used a secret method to force the true dragon's inner elixir into my body. You can say that I was originally a dragon."
"But I was born to be the Buddha bone they hate the most."
Lin Du finally made some movements, which was not beyond her expectations. She turned her head and said, "Your mortal body has absorbed the inner elixir of a real dragon? It's a miracle that you are still in good health."
No wonder he insisted on catching a dragon to refine it later. It turned out to be in order to suppress the erosion of the real dragon's inner elixir on his body.
"It is indeed a miracle." Wei Zhi smiled, "So even though we don't need to take the pills that can relieve the backlash of the dragon energy now, there are still some left. Giving them to Yuan Ye is just a side job."
Lin Du asked a crucial question, "Is the medicine still effective? It should have been many years, right? It has been one or two hundred years since you refined the dragon's body?"
Wei Zhi: ...it still has to be Lin Du, his focus is on being different from others.
"Don't worry, the medicine is still effective." Wei Zhi glanced at Yuan Ye. "The backlash of the dragon energy is quite painful. This kid has been holding on without saying anything. He is quite strong."
Lin Du thought thoughtfully. Wei Zhi probably hasn't completely digested the inner elixir yet. That kind of thing in a child's body is probably not a treasure, but something that can take his life at any time.
It is recorded in the book that people with low cultivation cannot even touch the inner elixir of a true dragon, and will be burned directly if they touch it. If a high-level cultivator tries to refine it by force, he will basically be swallowed up by the violent force and explode to death.
It is truly remarkable that Wei Zhi has lived to this age.
"Then why did you... destroy Buddhism?"
Lin Du originally thought that Wei Zhi was an orphan of the royal family and should hate Buddhism.
"..." If Wei Zhi found out something and gave Lin Du a hint, it would never end.
He turned his head and said, "You three are just wearing fancy clothes today, but you are still being watched, let alone a child carrying gold in a busy market."
"Sometimes things are more complicated than you think." Wei Zhi paused, "But the complexity is not what you need to understand."
"I'm telling you this today just to tell you that you don't need to be too defensive against me."
People say he is a heretic, arrogant, evil, neither a Buddhist nor a demon, but it doesn't matter, he has no choice.
Some people are probably born to carry the sins and heavy responsibilities of their previous life.
only……
He looked at Yuan Ye, "Your nephew is very lucky."
"The Supreme Sect has good feng shui." Lin Du said nonsense.
"Indeed." Wei Zhi smiled.
"If you need ice when you have an attack," Lin Du paused, "I'll break some for you? It'll be counted as Yuan Ye's medicine fee."
The ice with ten thousand year old spiritual charm is hard to find, and the elixir that can suppress the backlash of dragon energy is also unique in the world.
Lin Du is indeed keen on cheating people, but he still has to be polite to kind people.
Wei Zhi looked at her suspiciously. What does... break off mean?

The group of four did not stay in Jinliang for long, and headed southeast. They used the name of the robbed opera troupe as their excuse, and only used copper money to buy food. There was no one watching them anymore.
Jiangnan is an even more prosperous place. Lin Du plunged into those fragrant alleys and ate until his eyes were filled with tears.
Yuan Ye had a strong taste for food and was not a fan of Jiangnan cuisine, but for some reason, he always felt that when his junior uncle was here, he looked more greedy than before, as he was lazy and indifferent.
"Everyone says Jiangnan is great."
As Lin Du spoke, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his face remaining the same as before, and he walked into the summer in the south of the Yangtze River.
Suddenly, a noise of children came from behind, "Hey, isn't this the sickly kid from the Jiang family? Why is he out alone?"
"Hey, sickly boy, you never leave the house, you look like a lady from a rich family, what a pity..."
"What are you holding in your hand? Give it to me!"
"Want it? If you can, get it yourself? Jump up and get it!"
"Hey, you won't get sick just by jumping, will you?"
Lin Du suddenly turned around and walked straight towards the group of naughty kids. The biggest one among them was holding a book high. The "sickly kid" as the other kid called him seemed to be born weak and short due to congenital deficiencies, and was about to cry in anxiety.
Just when the big guy was showing off, the thing in his hand was suddenly snatched away. He turned back in confusion, mumbling, "Who is this, meddling in other people's business..."
The person was dressed in green. Although she was a woman, she was not dressed like a woman from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, she looked like a Taoist priest. She was very tall, with a pale face without any expression. She raised the scroll lightly and said in a sarcastic tone, "You want it? If you have the guts, take it yourself? Jump up and take it?"
The big guy jumped up and down several times in anger, but failed to get it. He angrily tried to bang his head against the incomprehensible adult, but the adult strangely dodged to the left very quickly, and the child was hit headfirst and fell heavily to the ground, crying loudly.
Lin Du withdrew his hand and looked at the child in front of him. He was clearly eight years old, but extremely thin. Some people would believe he was only five or six years old. He was pale, thin and skinny, so small that you could almost see the blue veins on his hands.
"Here, are you okay?" Lin Du said.
The child took it in a daze, then quickly put his hands together and performed a Taoist salute that was extremely rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty, "My boy Jiang Yang, thank you Taoist priest."
Lin Du helped him up and said, "Most ordinary people don't know how to perform Taoist rituals. How do you know? Is someone in your family a Taoist priest?"
Jiang Yang shook his head. "My mother visited the Taoist master when she was seeking medical treatment for me, so I know about it."
Lin Du looked at the clothes he was wearing. He was not from a wealthy family, but was well-off, so it was not bad.
Suddenly, a little girl ran out from the side, shouting, "Hey! Did you bully Jiang Yang again? I heard it all in the yard! Don't bully others! I'll tell your parents when I get back!"
The child's delicate eyes and brows smiled, with a little light.
