Chapter 422: Kill the devil and be number one, we want both!

Wei Zhi and Lin Du walked side by side, and listened to Lin Du's previous doubts on the Buddhist boat.

"You suspect that there is something wrong with the descendants of us, the followers of the demon god?" Wei Zhi frowned, "Why?"

"You have inherited the Buddha's bones." Lin Du said, "Just treat it as a conspiracy on my part."

"I clearly remember looking at the previous lives of everyone else in the Book of Life and Death, including Hou Cang, and there wasn't anything abnormal about them. Only Master's, when I looked at it, I couldn't see his previous life."

Lin Du paused, "There is a blank space on it."

Wei Zhi stood beside the pond and said, "I understand what you mean. You suspect that it is beyond the heavenly way of this world, so it is blocked by the heavenly way and you cannot see it."

Lin Du nodded. "I didn't study it too deeply before. Time was urgent at that time, but I believe in my graphic memory ability."

She was born with a strong memory and read very quickly. Even if she only skimmed through the book, she could remember which content was in which place. But when she thought about Lintuan, she came up blank.

This in itself is unusual.

Wei Zhi thought about it seriously. In fact, he and Lin Tuan had not known each other for a long time. It was once when he was in danger that Lin Tuan came to him in person.

"I'll go talk to her again." Wei Zhi was about to take a step forward when he suddenly turned to look at Lin Du, "I feel like I'll be scolded if I meet her like this."

Lin Du: ...

"Even a great master is afraid of being scolded by his elders."

"Not a master." Wei Zhi was obviously much more unrestrained than before, and no longer arrogant. He stood in the sunlight, with a rare look of regret on his face. "After all, she was strongly opposed to my swallowing of the dragon before."

"She didn't want me to destroy my identity as a Buddhist and taught me not to break the precepts."

Wei Zhi turned his head and glanced at the white-haired ball on his shoulder, "Let's talk after I brew a pot of wine."

Chu Guanmeng cheered, "Great!"

Lin Du: ...Others are in cahoots with each other, but these two are the ones who are taking advantage of the situation, right?

"In fact, I don't think it's because Lin Tuan still misses you and doesn't want to ascend." Wei Zhi said, "With her strength, she could have ascended hundreds of years ago. Even if your master misses you, your aura is already full and harmonious, so he can still ascend, right?"

This was an angle that Lin Du had never thought of before. She thought about it carefully. The aura of Lin Tuan was indeed very similar to Yan Ye's now when they first met. He was in a state of perfection that could ascend to heaven at any time. "What you mean is..."

They both asked at the same time, "What kind of restriction did she encounter that prevented her from ascending?"

The two looked at each other, and both showed some shock in their eyes.

In the forbidden peach forest, under the peach trees, Lin Tuan woke up from a drunken dream, and saw an uninvited guest breaking into the peach forest.

She lowered her eyes and met the gaze of her youngest junior fellow apprentice. "Are you also going to ascend?"

Yan Ye nodded, "Three years."

"That's really fast," Lin Tuan thought for a moment, "It broke the record of a thousand years of ascension, that's good."

Yan Ye looked up at the person on the tree. This person had seen off many people who ascended to heaven, and also seen off many people who fell. He had seen too many partings. To her, his departure was nothing more than a fallen peach blossom, and did not carry much weight.

But this person who is open-minded about everything has never been able to ascend.

"Sister, Lin Du is outside, why don't you come to see him..."

"She's too smart, so," Lin Tuan shook his head, "don't see her anymore."

Yan Ye was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Is there really no room for maneuver?"

Lin Tuan shook his head, "Dongmingjie is a good place."

Yan Ye was completely speechless, "The child won't accept it."

The two looked at each other for a moment. There was sadness and kindness in Lin Tuan's eyes, but he never wavered.

Yan Ye finally turned around and left, deliberately avoiding the direction where Lin Du was.

Sometimes people who appear to be kind are also the most resolute.

The peach forest is full of bloom all the year round, Luoze is cold all the year round, but in the study, the people there remain as steady as a mountain, despite the changing of seasons.

It wasn't that there was no movement at all. For example, during this period, the noisiest people all came back, and the competitions of mechanism, weapon refiner, alchemist, and three realms spiritual warriors were all held at the same time as the formation master competition.

As a result, there were frequent explosions in the sect. Either the furnace for refining equipment exploded, or the testing mechanism exploded, or there were fights that shook the earth.

Cangli was so annoyed that he went to the study to find some quiet time, but was chased out by Lin Du, who thought his eyes were too noisy.

Cang Li sat on the steps, looking at the silver-haired man climbing up the stairs in confusion, "I'm telling you, you're not from our sect, right? You can't enter the library."

Wei Zhi did not go in, but stood by the study window and fed the cats calmly.

"The tea is well brewed, and there are refreshing desserts that are not that sweet. They don't fall off and can be eaten directly."

Cangli's eyes widened. "He's already talking, why don't you think it's noisy?"

Han Yueling held the strange green mint liquor and chug, "Because you have nothing to do."

Wei Zhi put down a new, sharp, and suitable charcoal stick, took away the bald one, washed his brush, ground the ink, took the listed amount of formation stones, and turned to look through Lin Du's storage ring which was specially used to store formation stones.

Cangli: ...It seems like there is work.

"But Junior Sister, where did you find this errand boy?"

"Don't worry. With a contract to sell your body, if you betray me, your soul will be torn to pieces and I won't be able to reincarnate." Wei Zhi was already a mature servant and had learned to explain when Lin Du was too lazy to speak.

"So you look like a servant or a boy..." Before Cangli could finish his words, he saw the silver-haired man suddenly turned into a little child with an innocent face.

"Now." The fair and tender child spoke.

Cang Li turned around and left with Qin in his arms, "I'm going to tell Senior Sister that Junior Sister abused child labor."

Not only could he not file a complaint, but Cang Li was also assigned an important task by his senior sister - to cooperate with the major alliances to clear the evil demons from the competition venues.

Before setting off, Lin Du finally finished drawing his own formation diagram which was longer than the A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains. He rarely took Chu Guanmeng and his fellow apprentices down the mountain to have a meal.

This time, all the competition venues were not chosen at the intersection of Zhongzhou, Yunmoruo, and the demon clan, but a common place - the desert.

Although no new demonic energy was overflowing, the demonic energy that had overflowed from the demon world in the previous ten thousand years still existed. The evil demons surprisingly united their front in a short period of time, no longer fighting among themselves, and only devouring the spiritual practitioners.

Many monks from various sects roam along the border all year round to reduce the losses of ordinary people in Zhongzhou.

The demonic tide will never come, but the frequent attacks like mosquitoes and flies are even more disgusting.

A group of people sat together, talking about the latest current affairs and competition information.

Yan Qing read out the current status of the lists of various circles, and everyone held a copy of the strong opponents in their respective competitions.

Ni Jinxuan was the first to raise her glass and shouted, "Our goal is!"

"Strive to be the first!" Yuan Ye shouted.

Lin Du glanced at Yuan Ye and quickly changed his words, "Second in the competition, first in defending Zhongzhou!"

Mo Lin coughed lightly, "It's very obvious this year. I'm afraid everything will be arranged around the external enemy. The evil spirits are now more cunning than before, and they no longer do evil alone. The first priority is to pay attention to safety.

"Our Three Realms Spiritual Martial Arena should be in front of all your competition locations, and we should do our best to prevent evil spirits from slipping through."

Ni Jinxuan nodded seriously, "We want both the title of Demon Killer and the title of No. 1!"

Yan Qing made an official statement, "Rankings and such are secondary, we are all here for the purpose of learning and improvement, come, for the right path!"

Everyone's cups clinked together, and their eyes were filled with anticipation for the upcoming games.

Chu Guanmeng took advantage of the chaos to stuff the food in. By the time everyone put down their wine glasses, all the dishes on the table had been cleared away, even the roast duck rack was not left out.

The six of them looked at the bloated ball in unison, glaring at it hungrily.

Tuanzi was furious and went out to call for help, "Add another table!"
