Chapter 202 A family must be together
The four of them traveled from north to south. They were ripped off by people who thought they were fools, robbed by mountain bandits, molested because of their good looks, chased away by officials because of their art, and their mule was inexplicably stolen at night...
After many bumps and bruises along the way, Lin Du finally achieved his goal of taking Ni Jinxuan to see the human world.
They have heard scholars chatting in teahouses and the laughter and worries at night market stalls; they have seen red makeup everywhere and wedding cakes scattered along the way, seen examiners crying bitterly over their success in the imperial examinations, and seen all kinds of buffets hosted by wealthy businessmen to compete with each other.
I have also seen refugees frozen to death huddled in dilapidated Taoist temples in the wilderness, piles of fierce beggars, skinny little girls who were sold to brothels with a bag of rice, babies drowned at random, farmers who could not pay taxes, tenants whose land was forcibly seized, brides crying after their husbands died in battle, and women who started their own businesses after being abandoned.
Until he heard that the current Grand Marshal died of an acute illness and was posthumously named a king of a different surname, and that the retired emperor had passed away, the emperor suddenly began to recruit extraordinary people from all over the world and take elixirs in an attempt to prolong his life.
The Jiaozi previously issued became increasingly devalued, the currency became increasingly chaotic, and they gradually no longer had enough money left for food, drink, and accommodation.
The departure of Yuan Ye and Xie Yu seemed to have brought Da Zhou back to its original destiny.
"Let's go back." Yuan Ye stood in front of the imperial edict recruiting extraordinary people, looked at it for a long time, and finally said this.
Lin Du was thinking about whether to perform a chest-breaking rock act when he went to the theater to perform today. When he heard this, he subconsciously replied, "Okay."
When he realized who had raised the question, Lin Du looked at Yuan Ye in surprise.
"Have you come to terms with it?"
"I've come to terms with it." Yuan Ye smiled, "It's time for us to go home."
The spiritual boat sped through the night and sank into the sea filled with spiritual energy. Lin Du took a deep breath and said, "I am alive."
This year, a streak of white frost appeared on Lin Du's hair again.
She stood up, stretched her body, then leaped from the spirit boat into the air, raised her hands and began to strengthen the seal.
Wei Zhi watched Lin Du's hand seals attentively and found that he was really taught step by step on the spot.
One after another, the golden seals merged into a transparent barrier across the vast sea in front of him. Finally, Lin Du finished forming the seals.
The sea surface was moving without any wind, and huge waves were rising almost up to the sky. Before the people on the boat could react, they saw Lin Du swooping down, then urging the spirit boat to rush forward as if fleeing.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and run! You will all be fed to the fish if this huge wave hits you!"
Lin Du stuffed a few more high-quality spirit stones into the spirit boat and flew directly into the air. With a burst of acceleration, the spirit boat almost became a beam of spiritual light.
The two nephews on the boat were nearly thrown off the boat by the acceleration, and asked in a daze, "Little Uncle? Did you reinforce the seal incorrectly?"
"That's right, but my uncle didn't tell me there would be huge waves after the reinforcement."
Lin Du braved the wind and waves all the way back to the sect at a speed more than twice as fast as usual, completely forgetting about the people on the bamboo raft.
When she came back to her senses, Ni Jinxuan asked, "Little Master, is the Master missing?"
Lin Du: ...It’s not very important, I forgot about it.
She wiped her face and said, "Master should be able to run faster than us, so it won't be a big problem."
Although Buddhism and Taoism are different, and their cultivation realms are also different, but for someone who has reached Wei Zhi's level, teleportation is not a problem. Moreover, even if he doesn't run, he can scare a group of sea creatures to death by going into the sea.
Ni Jinxuan said "oh" and asked, "Master Junior, you just used up so much spiritual energy, has it been a year?"
Lin Du: ...
Lin Du looked up at the sky and said, "I don't know."
Jiang Liang was just afraid that a large amount of spiritual energy impacting the heart would cause secondary damage, but if he took his time, it should be fine.
At least she just had a little pain in her chest, it wasn't a big problem.
Lin Du patted Yuan Ye on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Go back with Uncle Master to take the medicine."
It was almost evening when the three of them returned to the sect, and the sunset cast a golden edge over the green hills.
They returned suddenly, with no one to greet them.
However, when Lin Du had just entered the main peak hall to report to Feng Chao, his second, third and fifth brothers rushed in with their men.
"Master Junior, how much of the liquid medicine you took with you when you left is left? Take it out and let us see it."
Under Xia Tianwu's deathly gaze, Lin Du began to take out the medicine bottle.
"Don't take them one by one, just take them all out, within a breath, including the empty bottles."
"I really took the medicine on time! Jinxuan is watching me!"
Lin Du felt wronged, Lin Du was angry, and Lin Du was shouting loudly.
Xia Tianwu saw through it and said, "You have been out for 295 days. There are still 74 bottles here that are not empty. One bottle a day, drink one bottle three times. Junior Master, you have 12 meals left..."
Lin Du: ...
Lin Du felt guilty, "Do you believe me if I say it was because I was busy with work and the time was up?"
Xia Tianwu crossed his arms, his eyes were sharp, and he said nothing, but his meaning was clear - he didn't believe it.
Lin Du was in despair.
Jiang Liang stood outside the hall and coughed, his meaning becoming clearer - come over and take his pulse.
It is better to die with a friend than to die with a poor friend. Lin Du sent Yuan Ye to Jiang Liang's side.
Today she wants the three of them to sit in a row in the cafeteria and drink medicine together!
"Your origin is damaged, and your meridians are slightly stagnant, but the backlash of the dragon energy has basically healed. Your origin is severely damaged, and you may recover more slowly from future injuries. Be careful not to get seriously injured. Have you touched the barrier of your realm? But it is best to take the newly matured Black Frost Mysterious Flower, which can make up for the lack of origin and open up the meridians at the same time. Then you can close the door and form the elixir, otherwise something unexpected may happen."
Jiang Liang was eloquent when talking about the illness and was the most reliable.
“I want fresh ones.”
There is indeed nothing new in the Supreme Sect's inner library.
Lin Du inexplicably felt that this flower sounded familiar, and sure enough, the system popped up.
[According to the original plot, this flower will mature and bloom at the bottom of Lingtong Cliff in two months, and many people will fight for it. It was at this time that Wu Xi's Bai Yueguang blocked the attack of a black frost snake for him and was poisoned by the cold.]
Lin Du raised his eyebrows, "Is Wu Xi still alive? Has he recovered? Can he still go and grab the flower in two months?"
[I'm alive and well, come on my dear~]
Lin Du hesitated, "Hey, why don't you teach me the method? If I go to grab the flower, there will be no role for Wu Xi and Bai Yueguang."
[Whatever, as long as you can completely eliminate the possibility of two people, anything is fine. P.S. Don't kill the characters, otherwise it will be unacceptable to heaven, and you, the host, will be doomed. ]
system open.
"No, then at least, a reward for my plot points?"
[…Yes, dear, I will definitely give it to you. It is a pill that can repair your internal organs. It will ensure that you will have enough food and drink, walk briskly, and be able to carry a water jar up a mountain without getting out of breath.]
Lin Du: ...The ones after that are not really necessary.
"Tell me, how much did you eat in the secular world? Although it doesn't do much harm to your stomach, it's really of no benefit. You also want fresh food..."
When Lin Du heard this, he widened his eyes curiously. She wants to eat flowers too?
"I'll make some medicine for you. I'll punish you by not letting you eat candy."
Lin Du bared his teeth and said, "I'm so scared."
"And Jinxuan, she also needs to take some medicine to eliminate the impurities from earthly food."
"Everyone has to take the medicine!" Jiang Liang made the decision.
So inside the dining hall of the Supreme Sect, two rows of people with sad faces sat neatly, each with a bowl of black soup in front of them. Only Yan Qing took pleasure in the misfortune.
"Oh, by the way, Master just said that since everyone has drunk, we should give one to the remaining ones, to make sure they are all neat and tidy."
Xia Tianwu said as he brought a bowl of medicine to Yan Qing. "You accidentally strained a muscle while practicing a few days ago. When Master felt your pulse, he found that you still needed to clear your mind, so... you come too."
Yan Qing:? I am like the goose that was passing by and was inexplicably stuffed into the pigpen!
Lin Du was satisfied. A family should be together!
She picked up the medicine bowl, and a strong fishy and salty smell hit her face.
