Chapter 221 Where Does This Wild Tea Essence Come From?
The inside of the stone cave was covered with frost, turning the originally simple and empty cave into a land of ice and snow.
The array pattern was still one step away from being formed.
[You should know that the reason why the life-recalling technique is only used in competitions among the younger generation is because the younger the person, the less experience they have, and the less time they need to recall their past. If you encounter a deep-seated mental knot, even if you can recall your past very quickly, you will be trapped, and you will not be able to get out for several years, or even decades.]
[The individual competition of the Zhongzhou competition will be held in two years. ]
[So, Lin Du, is the truth really that important? This truth has nothing to do with who you are now, and it has nothing to do with every step you take in the future. Do you really want to be influenced by your past self?]
Lin Du sat listlessly in the formation, smiling with a tired and bored expression, "Since you chose to approach me as an outsider and arranged all this, aren't you influencing me?"
"If it weren't for the fact that I have been with my fellow disciples in the Supreme Sect for so many years, you might not dare to expose the fact that you are me and I am you."
The negative emotions she had suppressed for several days finally exploded. The array patterns shattered into pieces, and frost crawled out from her body inch by inch along with the flowing spiritual power. The frost and snow froze her and made her feel extremely cold.
"I can tolerate myself plotting against myself, but I cannot allow myself to be just a chess piece without knowing the layout."
[Lin Du, I am no longer Lin Du, but you are still Lin Du. ]
[There has only ever been one Lin Du in this world. This is a decision you made.]
[I am just... a part of the past that you condensed.]
[Even if you didn't use Cui Yujun's unexpected system to force me to reveal that there was no such thing as a system, according to Lin Du's original plan, we would start to merge when the fifth period begins, and when the sixth period comes, we will refine our spirits and merge our colors, and completely merge, and there will no longer be a system.]
"So I expect that I can end everything in Qianyuan Realm?"
“Then I am really confident in myself.”
The fifth stage, Qianyuan Realm, is the realm that the two senior brothers are now in closed-door attack. Both of them are over 900 years old. However, the events of Lintuan and Houcang happened only three to five hundred years ago, right after the demonic energy disturbed the way of heaven.
It’s still Lin Du, she hasn’t changed in two lifetimes.
[…Seriously, I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t be in a hurry. It’s better for you to slowly integrate your real memories than to rush through your rough life all at once.]
Lin Du lowered his eyes, and after a long time, with a hoarse voice, for the first time he did not answer in his consciousness, but spoke out loud.
"Okay."
It seemed that these words were not spoken to her soul, but to herself.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, they fell into the air like frost.
In fact, even without Lin Du telling her, he could guess that perhaps even her modern identity was arranged by her herself.
My parents are not kind and I have no one to rely on, so I don’t think about returning to the modern world.
Surrounded by fellow students, each of them is very close to him, his body is failing and he won't live long, that's why she wants to save him.
It was all her own calculation.
In fact, it started earlier, after she resigned or some other time, she felt that she should not waste her time in this world. She should have some goals, but in modern times she just didn't have any direction or ideas to work towards.
Now that I think about it, it was an obsession rooted in her soul.
Then think of the Eight-View Mirror that Yan Ye saw in the God’s Tomb. He had seen his own death, and perhaps also the death of others.
She came back to save herself and also to save others.
Her name is Lin Du, which means to save others and herself.
But how did Lin Du in his previous life set up such a big plan and arrange those life-saving pills? In all the stories, there was not much trace of her, making her just an ordinary spectator.
Lin Du just wanted to take a look at his own state of mind.
"So what is our relationship now? Cui Yujun's 'system' is parasitic on the spirits of others, but you are just a part of me."
[…It doesn’t matter. It’s strange that you can still talk to yourself, and you’re even angry with yourself.]
Lin Du packed up his things and turned to go out.
[No, wait, are you dissatisfied with the pill? You are now in a good position to break through to a small level!]
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."
My soul choked. What kind of good person would choke himself?
Lin Du walked out of the cave, walked out of Luoze, turned into the inner treasury, took out a pot of Zui Yushan, and turned back to the depths of the forbidden area.
Actually, there is another way to regain some memories.
The inner demon.
People who practice Taoism seldom fall asleep, and even if they do, they seldom dream. If they dream, it is because the unfinished practice during the day falls into their dreams.
There is another possibility, it is the inner demon.
But Lin Du's inner demon only came out once, his consciousness was exhausted, his spiritual power was overdrawn, and he fell into a coma.
So after breaking the formation, she didn't replenish her spiritual power and consciousness, but walked out directly.
This time, as soon as Taolin leaked a little breath at Lindu, Taolin automatically made way for a small path.
When Lin Chuan looked up, he saw the pitiful little nephew who looked like a little kitten walking towards him.
The child was clearly dressed neatly, her green robe spotless, her face pale but not weak, with a habitual smile on her lips. She looked clean everywhere, but Lin Tuan felt that she was like a cat that had run out of the mountain gate and wandered all the way, making its fur wet and dirty.
The original high spirits turned into pitiful after seeing the dangers of the world. I returned dejectedly, only to find out how good home was.
Lin Tuan saw that she was holding a pot of wine. She was very familiar with that wine. It was the Zui Yushan, which was unique to the Supreme Sect. It tasted like ordinary fruit wine at first, but the aftereffect was strong and people got drunk silently.
It is the type of wine she drinks most often.
The child seemed to be in charge of the inner treasury. She had seen the accounts of the sect's inner treasury, and many of the confirmed signatures on them were Lin Du's name.
So she asked with a smile, "Does this count as surveillance theft?"
Lin Du also laughed, "No, Master only comes to get a jug of wine every ten days. I calculated the time and it's time, so I'll give it to Master and ask for a sip."
In fact, if Lin Du wanted to drink, he could just tell Feng Yifengchao and pick any good wine from the storehouse.
But she came under the pretext of delivering wine.
Lin Du never forgot her mission, even in such a situation, she didn't want to simply let herself go.
Maybe she was born this way. Even with just a thought, she could branch out into countless branches and maximize her own benefits at every step.
A natural planner.
"First time drinking?" Lin Tuan couldn't help laughing as he looked at the child holding the wine glass as if he was facing a powerful enemy.
It’s not the first time, but it’s the first time here.
Lin Du doesn't like the smell of alcohol.
But she drank it anyway, like sweet water.
At least it tastes better than her medicine.
Lin Du talked about what he had encountered in the past few days, such as the fact that the source of demonic energy in the Demon Realm seemed to be increasing, and the power of the rules of heaven seemed to be weakening.
Lin Tuan listened for a while with his head tilted, his expression changed from casual to solemn, and then he sighed softly.
It is said that high-ranking monks have very long lifespans, so the Heavenly Dao imposes a life calamity every thousand years in order to restrict them.
But who can say that there is no fate in the way of heaven?
She turned to look at Lin Du, "It is definitely not a good thing for evil spirits to run rampant. I know this, and if that time comes, I will not ignore it."
"You must bring me some wine every ten days, and I will teach you some seals to restrain evil spirits and some techniques to balance the demonic realm. These techniques are not available in the bookstore."
After Lin Du finished three cups, she was excited but a little dizzy. She held her head up and nodded, but she was wondering why Hou Cang hadn't come yet.
"Thank you, Master. You are so kind."
As she finished speaking, she felt a force colder than her own approaching.
Lin Du rolled down to Lin Tuan's knees, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When she came back later, she could only see a table under the only tree in the middle of the peach forest that never bloomed. Lin Tuan was sitting on a bamboo mat, with the wide sleeves of his dark purple robe pressed down by a green shirt. She did not pull away as she did to her before, but instead just touched the head of the man on her lap, and with her other hand she easily blocked the sharp energy he had just released when he was practicing.
Lin Du's breathing was long and steady, so he must have fallen asleep.
There was a faint sweet aroma of wine in the air.
Hou Cang looked coldly at the sudden blue color, and a rare crack appeared on his cold face.
Where does this wild tea essence come from?
