Chapter 440 I am also a plant
On the next morning, every fortress received food from the Supreme Sect's monks. The food included demon-exorcising soup, which could repair hidden injuries, and replenish physical strength. Everyone said it worked well after drinking it.
Everybody was saying that Tongtian Sect and Wushang Sect had good intentions, but who knew that just by drinking, something really went wrong.
A big demon from the demon clan didn't want to drink, but was coaxed and tricked into drinking by Hu You who came to help and Xing Liu, the demon clan formation mage who was present. Immediately, a surge of demonic energy emerged.
Everyone was shocked and immediately went over to trap the man.
When Lin Du hurried over, he met two pairs of eyes of different sizes but both very smart.
Huyou rubbed his hands and smiled at Lindu from afar. Xingliu also waved at Lindu, "I knew this was your idea!"
They fought all night last night and finally killed all the besieged demons and broke the closed formation. Then the Supreme Sect sent someone to bring this bowl of medicine, which looked unusual no matter how you looked at it.
The demons are carefree and almost never practice fasting. They will naturally drink anything that comes their way. Moreover, this soup is rich and delicious, and full of spiritual energy. It's obviously a good thing at first glance. It's specially made to drive away the evil spirit in the body, so it would be very unusual for a demon not to drink it.
Xia Tianwu followed behind Lin Du. Lin Du went up and lifted up the microscope first. He found nothing unusual. Xia Tianwu was much more decisive. He took out the knife swiftly and started to perform the autopsy.
Lin Du was responsible for restraining the monsters, the patriarch of the monster clan was responsible for interrogation, and Xia Tianwu was responsible for performing the operation.
The result came out in a short while.
There was actually a demon fetus hidden inside the demon pill in the demon's belly, and there were strange runes on it, so it was not discovered to be abnormal.
Lin Du raised his hand to destroy the demon fetus, stood up and pressed his temples, "Fortunately there is only one."
If there are a lot, then they don't have to do it.
She wrote down the rune and looked at it for a while. "It's an ancient rune."
It is probably the root of the trouble left behind by the remnants of the Fallen Angel.
The traitor was caught, but people didn't relax yet - it seemed that the evil was not as easy to eliminate as imagined.
This defense war may last longer than expected.
When Lin Du went downstairs, she saw some corpses. She could sense the strong seven emotions still remaining on the corpses.
This feeling is not very good.
The battles went on day after day as planned, and while other sects still had a steady stream of disciples changing shifts, the Supreme Sect only had a dozen or so people.
Until one day, they returned from the heart of the demon world, and everyone was injured to varying degrees.
When night fell and everyone was in a state of meditation and breathing, Lin Du left the fort alone and walked along the battle formation, repairing those formations that could be breached by force at any time.
The desert wilderness used to be devoid of spiritual energy, but after the Lintuan sacrifice, a faint spiritual energy began to appear, and thus many emerald green spiritual plants grew.
The end of the story also seems like the beginning of a new life.
A ball of grass was blown to Lin Du's feet, and a voice was heard, "Wind-blown grass."
Lin Du hummed, "It's wind rolling grass."
When there is drought, they will retract their roots, roll up into a ball, and roll around. No matter how harsh the environment is, they will not die completely until they find a suitable environment and then take root.
"Your master has always felt that you don't understand death."
Wei Zhi was always some distance away from her, as if he was chasing her shadow.
"But I think you understand everything, but you just can't accept it." Wei Zhi saw Lin Du stand still, so he also stood still.
A slight breeze blew up the hem of his clothes.
"Just like you personally sent Lin Tuan's soul to the underworld, and watched Yan Ye ascend with a smile, but you still feel unhappy when you think of their departure."
"Even if that's the best outcome."
Lin Du turned around and met his gaze, "So, Master, you want to be my master?"
Wei Zhi shook his head, "How can I teach you? From the moment you saved me, you were far superior to me."
Lin Du corrected, "That was a transaction. Money and goods are two different things. I am a professional."
Wei Zhi didn't care, "So I said, you are far superior to me."
"It's just that I have learned that people can learn to accept their emotions. Maybe they don't have to suppress their existence, let alone feel uneasy and guilty about it. A person who can do everything can also not accept death and separation. Having emotions is not a sin or a sign of weakness."
Wei Zhi glanced at her, considering whether his words sounded preachy, and repeatedly confirmed that he would not provoke Lin Du's rebellion before continuing to add, "I just think that even if the gods shed tears, they are still powerful and unshakable."
Lin Du raised his eyes and looked at Wei Zhi. It was clear that he had nothing, but he was not as carefree and arrogant as before.
"What kind of person am I in the Master's mind?"
Wei Zhi thought about it seriously, "The saint is fearless, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, he knows the vastness of the universe, but he still pities the green grass and trees."
Lin Du felt a little upset for some reason, and he leaned over and looked up at the sky, "This evaluation doesn't seem like me."
Wei Zhi still stood straight, looking at her profile. The thin moonlight fell into her eyes, like a silver lake.
"What about me?"
"What?"
"What kind of person am I?"
Lin Du thought about it seriously, "There are three kinds of people in the world. One kind is the people who can keep up with me without saying a word, one kind is the people who need to be commanded to follow me, and one kind is the people I don't want to command."
"You are probably the best."
Wei Zhi said something without thinking, "I am also a plant."
Lin Du turned his head and looked directly into his eyes. That person's eyes were naturally light amber in color. In the past, they always looked hazy and insincere, but now in the dark, they were surprisingly bright.
"Plants have roots," she replied.
"The wind-rolling grass can chase the wind." Wei Zhi watched the wind-rolling grass slowly move forward, "The wind doesn't need to look back."
Lin Du laughed, and really continued to move forward to repair the battle line.
Wei Zhi held the lamp and followed her footsteps, not too far but not too close, and the light just happened to fall within the range where Lin Du stopped to repair himself every time.
Until dawn.
