Chapter 414: The Savior Is Not Just One Person

After Wei Zhi left, Lin Du entered a life of reading, taking medicine, and sleeping, and lived like an ordinary person in the sect every day.

The fallen angel fragments disappeared, but the evil demons still existed, and in order to survive, they began to attack the spiritual practice more and more frequently.

Hou Cang suddenly realized that Lin Du was right to choose not to publicly seal the origin of the evil spirit.

Once it is made public, the person who will be truly guilty of this crime is Lin Du.

They will not see that after the source of demonic energy is sealed, the artificial evil demons will have no subsequent raw materials, and the demon tide that should have appeared in the past hundred years will be delayed and suppressed, reducing the areas of cities that are polluted, trampled and massacred. They will not see the speed of erosion of the rules of heaven slow down, but will only see frequent attacks on humans by evil demons.

Lin Du's body is not strong enough to carry such a heavy pot.

During these days in the sect, Hou Cang often saw that figure, walking down the steps of the study building with a lantern in the middle of the night. The figure was silent among the overlapping green barriers, like a hollow bamboo.

She walked silently towards the forbidden area alone. On the table in the study, there were countless official reports about the border between Zhongzhou and the demon clan. The papers were not smooth enough, which showed that she had probably read them many times in her hands.

Those plain words mixed with Lin Du's figure on the ground and the shadows of the trees, and inexplicably became gloomy.

Sometimes he would see Wei Zhi waiting for her under the library, with a tattered book in one hand and a pot of honey wine in the other.

It doesn't look serious.

Hou Cang just glanced at it and said nothing more.

He was dull, not stupid. After a long time, he came to his senses. In fact, there was a precedent when Wei Zhi asked Lin Du if he regretted that day.

In the forbidden peach forest, Wei Zhi once asked, "If you were the one, would you be willing to die for your faith?"

At that time, Lin Du's answer was yes.

A few months ago, Lin Du sacrificed half of his life to wipe out the Fallen Angels, and he was almost determined to sacrifice his life for the cause.

So after Lin Du did all this, Wei Zhi came back and asked her if she regretted it?

Lin Du’s answer was no regrets.

At that time, Wei Zhi said, "When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up," and it was not an empty statement.

What was said at that time was true.

The one who really has to hold up the sky is Wei Zhi.

What he said with a smile on that day on the isolated island, "My backbone is not strong enough," was also true.

Lin Du put down his pen and rubbed his temples tiredly. Chu Guanmeng lay beside him, basking in the moonlight. "Is this what you mean by only reading books and not using your brain?"

"It's okay to fool others, but don't fool yourself."

Seeing Lin Du start to pack up, Baimao Bingzi reluctantly grew limbs and struggled to get up. "Is that monk coming today? If he comes, will he bring me some wine?"

"I don't know. After all, with his current strength, it would probably take him quite a while to go back and forth from the Buddhist temple."

Lin Du stood up calmly and picked up the glass lamp. Han Yueling climbed up the pole and lit the candle inside with fire.

Chu Guanmeng performed this process naturally, but he could clearly feel Lin Du's eyes dim.

It silently wrapped around her hand. Lin Du was completely unable to use her spiritual power this time. All the meridians in her body were paralyzed and contracted by the power of rules. It would take some time to recover. These spiritual weapons also required spiritual power to open, which she could not do.

Perhaps that's why she now needs to carry a lantern when walking at night.

As soon as Lin Du walked out of the door, he saw the person standing on the steps of the library.

"What did you bring today?"

Lin Du walked down the stairs and walked side by side with Wei Zhi.

"Wine, and a dozen bottles of spiritual liquid." Wei Zhi coughed lightly, "I also picked up a few Brahma Sound Thunder Bamboos and planted them under the peak. They can protect against lightning and increase luck. They are good things."

"If you don't know, you'd think you were on the ant move." Lin Du commented sincerely, "Did the Tantric sect not keep you?"

"My death will do them no good. If I have to die, I'd rather die in the source of the evil spirit." Wei Zhi said calmly, "It's not like we're emptying the sect. You haven't seen a Tantric Buddhist temple, have you?"

"The temple is filled with gods and Buddhas covered in gold and silver, piled with jade and beads, glass, agate, pearls, corals, and all kinds of natural and earthly treasures."

He said lightly, "When I was giving lectures, many offerings were left in the Tantric Buddhism. Now I am just taking them back one by one."

Lin Du hummed perfunctorily, "Master, when do you plan to move the natural treasures from the Tantric Sect?"

"Move until you think it's enough. Otherwise, go and ask for one yourself." Wei Zhi looked down at the shadows of the two people under his feet.

The light of the glass lamp was dim, and the shadows of the two people swayed with it, like candles in the wind.

"Did they allow you to take those things because your body is no longer strong enough to repair old injuries?" After Lin Du said this, he felt that he shouldn't use his brain too much. If people don't use their brains, they will lose their emotional intelligence during conversations.

Wei Zhi saw her steps stutter and paused, "You can't hide anything."

Lin Du didn't respond, and the words lightly brushed past his sleeve and fell to the ground.

The sword mark that Yan Ye inflicted on him in a fit of rage was still a faint scar even after such a long time. Lin Du has always had good eyesight.

For monks, scars are either strange and fatal injuries, or they no longer have the spiritual power to repair them.

Yan Ye knows his limits, so it can only be the latter.

Wei Zhi's cultivation is still there, and in order to resolve the contradictions in his body, he risked his life to swallow a dragon and seek the Hanyue Stone to offset the backlash of the extreme cold and heat. In the end, when he was calm, he couldn't control his own spiritual energy to repair the wounds on his hands.

At first, Lin Du didn't believe that Wei Zhi could fight him on equal terms, but now he understands.

This person has indeed never broken the precept of not lying.

"I've roughly calculated that if all the materials are available, the success rate is 50%." Lin Du paused, "But give me some time, wait until I can use my spiritual consciousness, and then I'll calculate it again."

Wei Zhi said calmly, "Don't rush. Wait until you recover."

"I brought you wine and spiritual fluid, not to rush you to regain consciousness quickly, but so that you can at least drink it before going to bed so that you can fall asleep calmly, and not toss and turn and be unable to fall asleep because of such heavy thoughts when you have to live according to the schedule of ordinary people."

He tilted his head and looked at the dark circles under Lin Du's eyes. "It's time to rest. We'll talk tomorrow."

Lin Du looked at his back as he tried to leave first, and said two words, "Lin Tuan."

Wei Zhi paused and turned his head, "What's wrong?"

"Facing the rapids, I sacrificed my life for my cause." Lin Du simply said a fragment that was not a complete sentence.

Wei Zhi took a step back and turned around, "Why her? Didn't you ask about Hou Cang before?"

Lin Du shook his head, "I don't know."

This is a mystery she has not yet guessed.

She hadn't guessed it in her previous life.

"Lin Du." Wei Zhi reached out and took the glass lamp that she was holding unsteadily. "Since you know everything, how could you not understand that you are not the only one who has to bear the responsibility in this world."

"There is more than one savior."

"The backbone of one person cannot hold up the whole world. You are the backbone and the leader, but there are millions of people who are willing to straighten their backs. You may be the first one to straighten your back, but you will not be the last."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have realized that there really was such a person..."

He smiled and said, "I am a little madman who doesn't really want to live, but I also really want everyone to live."

"I'm lucky to be friends with someone like you."

"If there is anyone in this world who can become a saint, I think it should be you."

Lin Du didn't say anything for a while, Wei Zhi walked in front of her with a lantern.

That was her way back to Luoze Cave Mansion.

Wei Zhi suddenly felt his hand burning. He lowered his head and found that it was the fire lit by Han Yueling that was burning and floating out, passing through the hollow glass lampshade and almost licking his hand.

He continued to move forward without looking back, but counted the steady yet extremely light footsteps of the people behind him. When he looked up, he suddenly remembered a sentence from the Buddhist scriptures that he had memorized when he was young.

A person with desires is like holding a torch and walking against the wind; he will surely burn his hands.
