Chapter 368 Why are you as shameless as I was when I was young?
Lin Du led Yan Ye as they walked and talked, from the divine bone that was picked up by the evil demon from the source of demonic energy to Lin Tuan's discovery, and slowly walked down the steps of the hill.
"If you imagine the source of demonic energy as a sewage pipe, then one end of the pipe must be the upper realm, and the other exit is in our Dongming Realm. The remnants of the upper realm seal on the divine bone fell into our Dongming Realm to prove this."
"These days I have been reading scattered stone tablet rubbings left over from the ancient chaotic period and records of the separation of the myriad worlds after the ancient gods returned to heaven. I have been reading all the earliest history books of the Dongming Realm, which are mainly unofficial histories and folk legends."
As she spoke, she took out a booklet and said, "I also found the earliest record of the Dongming map in historical materials. After comparing it with the current Dongming map, I found that the place where the Demon Realm was located was once a very fertile plain and hilly area, very suitable for living."
"Originally there was a group of people living there until the Eye of Sin appeared."
"According to unofficial history, the gods fell and the rules were reorganized. About a thousand years later, the Eye of Sin appeared in the world, shedding tears of blood and transforming into an evil creature that ate everything and killed its own kind. Black air rolled around, staining the land for thousands of miles, and the people had to move their homes."
"Although the knowledge of ancient monks was limited, and the rumors were partly fictional," Lin Du said, closing the book, "but one thing is certain, this Eye of Sin is indeed from the upper realm, and the evil demon is not bred by the heavens of this world, but more like a product that fell from the upper realm."
"So I checked the frequency of the demonic energy overflow and the demonic tide and drew a coordinate chart... well, it's the fluctuation of the demonic energy."
Lin Du opened the small notebook in a flash, but thanks to her impressive arm span, she was able to prevent the folded notebook from falling to the ground.
"I asked Hu You to find out the exact time when the divine bone would be revealed, and finally came to a conclusion."
"When the divine bone came out, the demonic energy was at its lowest point, or even better than nothing. The Seventh Elder of the Demon Palace rose rapidly during this period by picking up the divine bone."
"And Master said that this divine bone was moved away from its original location and brought out by the source of demonic energy because the sealing formation was dissolved. This is basically equivalent to the upper realm sealing the source of demonic energy."
"The last time the demonic tide erupted coincided with the time when the seal on the divine bone was cast."
"I have a reasonable suspicion that the demonic tide is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one."
"When I questioned Heaven's Way, it avoided the question because it was not something it could handle. This was not Heaven's way of balancing things at all."
Lin Du said this, then lowered his head and smiled, "In fact, Wen Fu and I both thought that the Demonic Tide was a balancing technique of the Heavenly Dao at the beginning."
To some extent, Cang Li was right. She and Wen Fu were really alike. Their thinking patterns, reasoning about things, and sensitivity were almost synchronized. However, they obtained information from different angles and directions, and their growth experiences were different, so they went on two different paths.
One stands on the heaven's perspective and looks down at all living beings, while the other stands on the earth and looks up at the sky.
"But if that is really the art of balance of heaven, why would it only give us spiritual heavenly blessings after the demonic tide ends?"
She stood in the moonlit night, her face calm, “Heaven’s way is impartial and always favors the good. I didn’t understand this before.”[Note 1]
“Now I understand.”
"Heaven's way is impartial and will only help those who are good at following the way."
Lin Du stood in place, with a vortex of spiritual energy swirling around him. He had attained enlightenment again and took another step towards Dong Zhen.
"We are the monks who follow the Way of Heaven, so we will have the blessings of Heaven."
Lin Du stayed in the study for seven whole days. Now, facing Yan Ye, he was able to sort out his thoughts smoothly and his mind gradually became open.
"I am a good person. I do what Heaven cannot do. When I succeed, I am following Heaven's will."
"But if we fail, does that mean we are going against the will of heaven?" Yan Ye couldn't help but ask.
Lin Du shook his head and pointed upwards, "If it doesn't work, I won't believe in God. If it works, I will believe in God. If it works, I will believe in God. If it doesn't work, I will do it myself."
Now there are other fragments of the Heavenly Dao being mixed together, and the situation is far beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao of the Dongming Realm. If the Heavenly Dao of the Dongming Realm is on the same front as her, then there is nothing to doubt.
After all...her spirit had reminded her at the very beginning, "Save others and save yourself, and heaven will help you."
If the Heavenly Dao really had no objection to the ending of the previous life, how could she successfully break through the Heavenly Dao barrier and come back when she set up a plan to travel through time?
The Tao has no relatives and is always with the good people.
She is the one who goes with the flow, and this time, she will definitely go to the end.
After listening to her guess, Yan Ye was thoughtful.
"So what are you going to do?"
Lin Du smiled, stood on the last step, and looked up at the clear dark sky.
"If Heaven cannot accomplish or stop something, then I will do it. When people live in this world, they must do something for the world. I follow my own path, which is also the way to make up for Heaven."
Yan Ye paused for a moment, unable to explain the feeling in his heart. After a long silence, he reached out his hand and gave a slap.
Lin Du's smile froze on his face. He covered his forehead with his hands and felt his head buzzing.
Yan Ye happily withdrew his hand and let out a long sigh, feeling relieved.
"You think you can get away with this?"
"You are so audacious, so willful, so reckless ...
Lin Du covered his forehead and grimaced, "Do you know how valuable my brain is? What if I get knocked dumb or lose my memory? I haven't reported it to my uncle and eldest sister yet. So many people are counting on me to save them."
"Your behavior is just disregarding the overall situation. You only know how to hold a grudge. You have no consideration at all and you have no teacher ethics. What kind of good teacher would beat his own disciple? I am just a tough guy. You can try someone else to see if he can withstand the iron fist of your Taiqing realm monk."
Yan Ye returned to his original state, "I won't listen."
Lin Du turned around and was about to leave. "I still have things to do. I need to clean up the matter of the man-made evil demon."
"Hey, wait a minute," Yan Ye called out to her, "You want to stop something that even the Heavenly Dao cannot stop. You have to be stronger than the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, everything you say now is false."
Lin Du had already jumped into the air. Hearing this, he carried him on his back and just raised one hand and shook it, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll take it step by step. It's just ascension. Of course I can do it, as I'm a genius. Just take a shower."
Yan Ye was helpless, and before he could say anything else, the person had already run away.
He turned around and laughed at himself, "How come you are still as shameless as when I was young."
Lin Du inexplicably came back and said, "I heard it."
Yan Ye lowered his head to hide his embarrassment, "Why are you back again?"
Lin Du suddenly attacked, "What did you see in the Qiongtian mirror in the God's Tomb? Or what did Wenfu see?"
Yan Ye was frightened twice by the child. He stood on the steps and didn't know whether to walk forward or retreat.
"Ah? What did you say? What mirror?"
Yan Ye started to act stupid.
Lin Du tried, "Can't tell?"
Yan Ye shook his head, "It's not good for you to leak the secret. You are in such a bad condition. You will be in trouble if you know it. Click."
He gestured at his throat.
Lin Du nodded, he understood, the secret cannot be revealed, there is no such opportunity.
She turned a corner and ran away again.
