Chapter 460: Follow Junior Master! Keep everyone’s iron rice bowl!
After meeting Yan Ye, Lin Du returned to the holy disciple Tian Jing and sat for a long time before setting off for Yujing Mountain.
Yuan Ling was a little surprised to meet her on the road, "Daozu is not preaching Taoism today."
Lin Du nodded, "I know."
"What about you?" Yuan Ling stopped at the foot of Yujing Mountain and took a look at her face. "Are you here because of the slander against you?"
Lin Du shook his head and said, "I have a question that I cannot answer, so I came to ask you."
Yuan Ling looked at her fellow apprentice sister, and a trace of pity appeared on her graceful face. "If it is for the sake of the world and human nature, it is not worth asking this question. The biggest difference between the people in the fairy world and the human world is that everyone has their own system of dealing with the world."
"To reach the realm of immortality, one must have a complete view of the world. Sometimes they don't know right from wrong, but the world is not just about right and wrong."
Yuan Ling patted her shoulder and said, "Just think of this journey as your practice."
"Even if it's obviously wrong?" Lin Du asked, "If the old system and concepts are no longer applicable, just because of the superficial peace and beauty, can't we endure the pain of change?"
“So their cultivation will stop, and their life will end here.” Yuan Ling said calmly, “Ordinary people only think that becoming an immortal is the end point, but becoming an immortal is just the most insignificant threshold. After that, every realm and progress is like a sky-high mountain. This is why many people in the Heavenly Palace cannot advance for tens of thousands of years. They have never awakened and reflected, so they will never make progress.”
"You are clearly a great opportunity for them to advance, but they all see you as a great enemy."
Yuan Ling had a pair of very clear and bright eyes. She scanned Lin Du's face and said, "And you, my child, have been far superior to them from the beginning, because you are very young and will never stop thinking. You are willing to discard everything you have learned before, reshape what you have learned, and integrate it. So you have always been you, and you are getting better every day."
She took a step forward, raised her hand, and gently stroked Lin Du's forehead.
"There is no end to cultivation. Just follow the way of nature. Don't force them to follow your steps."
Lin Du only felt a coolness on his forehead. When he looked up again, the Yuan Ling had gone away, leaving only a little glow.
She stood there for a long time, and finally walked up Yujing Mountain.
The education Lin Du received in the two worlds did not allow him to be alone.
Yujing Mountain can only be reached on foot, not by flying. With every step, the pure energy of the origin flows through the body, and the pressure forces people to constantly reflect on themselves.
Lin Du walked forward step by step and finally reached the last step.
She walked to the front of the hall and bowed, "Lingwei, I pay my respects to the Taoist master."
"Are you still confused?" An ancient voice came from the hall.
Lin Du stood up, "You once told me to follow my own path. I understand what Senior Sister Yuan Ling taught me. Now I am in the midst of a storm and I don't want to stay out of it. This time I went up the mountain, thinking along the way, clarifying myself, but I only have one thing left to say: Even if I die, I will set my heart on the world again."
"You already have the answer, don't you?" Daozu's voice was ancient and distant. "Once there was a star god who flew to the thirty-sixth heaven and forged a spiritual treasure with the blessing of the origin of heaven and earth. Any treasure blessed by the origin will far exceed what the creator wants, so she can't control it."
"When a spiritual treasure chooses its master, it chooses someone who can use it. Lingwei, you should know that it chose you because of your glass heart."
"And you are the first person in the world who has cultivated from a mortal body to a glass heart without any teacher."
"Colored glass is fragile, but after being shattered, what is tempered and reborn is the true heart of colored glass. Lingwei, you can come this far, which is rare in the world. The right time, right place and right people have forged you into a one-in-a-million person."
"What you value most is your spirit and character."
"If you are ready, you can go to the thirty-sixth heaven. This rope is called the Heart Binding Rope."
Lin Du did not hesitate for a moment, leaned forward, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and said, "Disciple, I will listen to your instructions."
She turned around, looked at the sky, and finally went down Yujing Mountain and did not go up again.
Chu Guanmeng was puzzled at first, "Not everyone can reach the thirty-sixth heaven. Why don't you go up when Daozu gave you the chance?"
Lin Du's steps were not as brisk as when he went up the mountain. He was silent for a long time. When Chu Guanmeng became anxious, he finally spoke, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Chu Guanmeng was bypassed in this way.
Shengyan saw Lin Du again, still with the same expression, "Hey, why are you here again, and at the same table?"
Lin Du glanced at Chu Guanmeng and said, "Yes, one table."
She sat at the table, listening attentively to the movements around her.
There are some differences between the Heavenly Palace and the Immortal City. Outside the Heavenly Palace, there are very few people who discuss the Heavenly Palace. Most of them are talking about where is the best place to practice, the recent cost of the caves in the Immortal City, and the trivial matters of the fiefdoms of various tribes. Competitions, engagements, business, any small matter can be discussed intensely for a long time.
Which immortal soldiers were found to have been reincarnated, what valuable things were dug out from the caves they left behind, which casual cultivators failed to survive, and where a new small world was discovered, and who became the master of that small world.
Lin Du watched Chu Guanmeng eat while listening to the chatter of the immortals.
"Well, after all, if something happens to the Tiangong people, we may not be able to defeat them."
"That's right. We don't see any training. We just stay in the Heavenly Palace every day. Besides being stable, can we have freedom and happiness?"
Lin Du took out the last pot of wine from his storage ring. While Chu Guanmeng was eating, he tilted his head back and drank it directly from the white jade pot.
After three years, the honey is still the same honey, and no matter how you drink it, it is not strong.
"But, come to think of it, stability is also good. Do you remember that person? He was the Taoist who always liked to travel around. I heard that he died a while ago. No body was found. It turned out that a spirit beast he picked up on the road escaped all the way to the gate of the fairy city and was discovered by someone."
"What ferocious beast devoured him alive?"
"Maybe, who knows? The lives of immortals are worthless. It's common."
"If I had known earlier, I would not have ascended. After the heavenly tribulation, I would have dispersed my cultivation and stayed here forever. Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that some people are unwilling to ascend even though they have reached the cultivation level. They grow old in their hearts before they die."
"This is called not making progress! Hey!"
After hearing this, Lin Du raised his head and took the last gulp of wine. Chu Guanmeng had also finished showing off.
She stood up, her face still calm, and walked forward calmly, her clothes fluttering in the wind and a faint smell of alcohol, like drunken winter snow.
Shengyan suddenly called her and said, "There is something I want to ask you for help. You don't have to settle the bill today."
Lin Du turned around and smiled, "Are you bribing me with just a meal?"
Shengyan smiled and said, "Ergou took a casual cultivator to the forest to hunt monsters the other day. Who knew that he never came back? Do you, Tiangong, have any solution?"
Lin Du nodded, "Tell me the name, I'll go to Siming Mansion to take a look."
Shengyan was relieved, "Thank you very much."
Lin Du glanced at her and asked, "Are you being polite to me?"
Shengyan couldn't hide the heaviness on his body. "Ergou is... a heavenly dog. You know, he is very strong. Generally speaking, no beast can kill him. But the divination I got with yarrow is... very strange. It can almost be regarded as a failure."
Lin Du raised his eyebrows, turned his head and thought for a moment, "Got it."
Shengyan escorted Lin Du all the way to the door. Lin Du suddenly turned around and looked at her, "I remember that you are the successor of the Candle Dragon Sword Technique? Do you have the Candle Dragon bloodline?"
Shengyan was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Lin Du responded, "Okay."
What's good, I don't know about the feast.
As soon as Lin Du entered Siming Mansion, a little boy stopped her and said in a crisp voice, "The True Lord said that if a white-haired girl who looks like my own child comes to see me, don't let her in, it's annoying."
Lin Du tilted his head to look at the little boy for a while, then took out a handful of candy he brought back from the fairy city.
There are many specialties from all over the world in the Fairy City Market, which seem to be a concern of the immortals after their ascension.
The little boy took a look and whispered, "No, I'm on duty."
"I'm not his biological child." Lin Du stuffed the candy into the child's mouth. "This is for you to eat after your mission. Zhaocai likes this candy the most."
The little boy was stunned for a moment, and then a handful of candy appeared in his hand. Lin Du turned around and left, going directly to find Yan Ye's superior, Jiu Tian Siming.
This was the first time that Jiu Tian Siming had a head-on encounter with Ling Wei Dao Jun. They almost thought that this man was going to attack their Siming Mansion like he did to Si Wei Mansion last time.
But Lin Du had a good attitude, "I came here this time to ask the Taoist Siming to take a look at the life of the Heavenly Dog."
There is only one Heavenly Dog in this world. Jiu Tian Siming was stunned for a moment, "Heavenly Dog?"
"Oh, yes, Heavenly Dog, I remember now." Jiu Tian Siming slapped his forehead, "It has returned to heaven again, I remember now, what's wrong with it?"
Lin Du nodded, "So we have to look for it. Although Tengu was reckless, his death is not a small matter."
Jiu Tian Siming hurried to find Yan Ye.
When Yan Ye received the order, he met the gaze of his own evil disciple who was sitting high above him, and felt a headache.
"Tengu is not dead, at least it is not shown in the fate book."
Lin Du took out the Fu Sheng Fan, and Jiu Tian Siming immediately shouted, "Check again!"
Yan Ye: ...If I had known earlier, I would have invited this brat inside and locked the door before beating him.
He swallowed his anger and said, "He is indeed not dead yet. Maybe we can go to Si Xingchen's fighting team and see what happens."
Lin Du sighed softly, "It's like a dog eclipsing the sun."
Yan Ye Yi Lin.
The Emperor of Fusang was originally a Fusang tree with ten suns on top.
Although Tengu only absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, he actually has another talent: he is not afraid of the real power of the sun. With him, the power of Fuso itself can be restrained.
Moreover, this thing should be very sensitive to Fuso's power.
There must be something wrong with Fuso. It is very strange that Tengu is missing at this time.
No wonder Lin Du came in person and went directly to Jiu Tian Siming. He just wanted to make a big deal out of the matter so that the people behind the scenes would not dare to take any action.
Lin Du then turned around and went to the Thunder Department's Shenxiao Mansion.
Mo Lin followed behind Zhenjun and met Lin Du's eyes.
The Thunder Department was naturally in charge of patrolling the fairyland, so upon hearing this, they quickly agreed to start the search.
Lin Du gave Mo Lin a look, turned around and went to the Supreme Sect's territory in the fairy world.
The territory of the Supreme Sect is still mixed with people from the sects of the Dongming Realm, but most of them are not there. Those who are there are there to meditate in the caves, so it is relatively quiet.
Mo Lin arrived after getting off work and found that Lin Du and a group of people had already sat at the table, talking loudly about something.
"That's what happened." Lin Du crossed his arms. "The source of the demonic energy from the upper realm is suppressed under my yard. When our Dongming Realm had fallen angel fragments leaked, there were also some in the upper realm. The initial judgment is that it was ten thousand years ago, and it almost matches. Something went wrong up there first, so it was resealed, so some of it leaked down there."
All five of them showed expressions that were surprised but reasonable upon closer inspection.
"The so-called fallen god fragments in the upper realm are more of the consciousness products derived from the combination of divine power and the three poisons of the fallen gods of the past." Lin Du paused, "Fallen god fragments are not fallen gods in essence, but a new derivative. Demons are also the souls of believers who died and were trapped by the three poisons. They were born after losing the consciousness of humans or their original bodies."
The five people stared with their eyes wide open. Yan Qing wrote quickly, silently digesting this concept, not daring to interrupt his junior master's long speech.
"So my suspicion is that there are still fragments of fallen angels lurking in the fairy world, but they are hiding more covertly. Our mission is to find these things and restore order in the heavenly palace."
The five of them straightened their backs at the same time, their eyes brightened.
"Of course this is very dangerous. I would rather protect you. For example, I could just kick you all out of the Three Yuans and Nine Prefectures and make you a casual immortal in the Supreme Sect."
Lin Du glanced at the faces of the five people who were about to speak, "But I know you definitely don't want to."
Five people nodded vigorously at the same time.
"So I think I'd better go with you. After all, the six of us are the group with the earliest average age of ascending to the Supreme Sect. We have saved the world, exterminated evil demons, and killed fallen angels together."
Lin Du laughed, "Besides you, there is no one else I can trust."
It is safer to use a device that you have brought up yourself since childhood, and there is no need for adjustment.
"Great!" Ni Jinxuan stood up first, "I told you, Junior Master can't abandon us!"
"That's right, I'm still not used to this peaceful life. I want to be free, but I have to seek some excitement. Otherwise, I can only sit in the fairy city and perform art."
Yan Qing's eyes were firm, "I have to keep this iron rice bowl no matter what! If you, Junior Master, are not satisfied with anything, it will be my dereliction of duty!"
Mo Lin crossed his arms and said in the softest tone with the most serious face, "I also want to be transferred."
Xia Tianwu refused gently but firmly, "You can't. You have to stay in Shenxiao Mansion. The files of the Thunder Department are complete. If necessary, you can bring people here directly."
The combat capability of the Thunder Department is higher than that of all other Siwei Prefectures, and it is directly subordinate to the Emperor Changsheng. When necessary, it can still shake people.
"So what's our plan?" Yan Qing picked up the pen excitedly.
Lin Du shook his head. "As for the plan, we need to wait for someone first."
"Who?" Yuan Ye thought seriously, "My master seems to have gone out for a walk, the head of Feng Dynasty doesn't want to work at all, and my fifth uncle is in seclusion in Tianyi Department, so we can't count on him... Could it be! It's my great-grandmaster Yanye?"
Lin Du shook his head, "The danger is over."
Yuan Ye: Ah?
"Wait until he finds evidence that will make me explode." Lin Du stroked the Fu Sheng Fan, "By the way, give me some time."
Ni Jinxuan was puzzled, "When? Practice? Set up the formation?"
Lin Du looked at the faces in front of him with different expressions but always friendly, and smiled, "Nothing, just cultivation and some things to think about."
"Because I can't bear to let go." She gently touched Ni Jinxuan's head, just like she did a long time ago.
Ni Jinxuan smelled a faint lingering smell of alcohol.
"Okay," Lin Du stood up, stretched out his hand, and clenched his fist forward, "What is our goal?"
"Find the fragments of the Fallen Angel!" Mo Lin spoke first, his voice was so firm that one could tell he was from the Thunder Department.
"Suqingtian Palace!" Yan Qing responded positively.
"Save the world!" Ni Jinxuan shouted excitedly.
"Follow our junior master! Keep everyone's iron rice bowl!" Yuan Ye smiled.
"Be careful." Xia Tianwu added.
The six men collided with each other with fists, their bones became hard, but they all started laughing.
When Lin Du returned to Saint Disciple Tianfu's residence, he suddenly discovered that there were some differences in his defense formation.
She reflexively summoned the Floating Life Fan, and Chu Guanmeng also jumped out, transformed into a giant white tiger, and roared.
Under the precious tree, a paralyzed figure appeared in Lin Du's sight.
Lin Du frowned, a strong evil spirit with a strange smell of blood rushed towards his face, and his wind was hot, "Kai Yang?"
Kaiyang sat under the tree, his body covered in blood, his azure blue embroidered robe folds torn. He looked at Lin Du with difficulty, his voice hoarse, "I, I didn't expect that in the end, I would have to run to the cave of the person I hate the most in order to survive for a moment."
Chu Guanmeng growled from his throat, and Lin Du took a look at his own formation.
No wonder, Kaiyang's formation is of extremely high level, and the fact that he could enter her defense formation safely and still keep the defense function turned on is enough to explain something.
"Lin Du..." Kaiyang held a half-broken sword in his hand, his chest heaving rapidly, and he looked like he was about to die.
Lin Du walked over with all his strength, and noticed the rapid loss of vitality in Kaiyang. He finally squatted down and said, "Don't waste your words. Get to the point."
Kaiyang laughed, blood gushing out of his throat, making it more difficult for him to speak, his pupils were on the verge of dilation, "I'm... sorry... for causing you so much trouble."
"I can't tell...but you're so smart, you can guess it."
Lin Du frowned, and immediately picked up his disciple token and tried to find Xia Tianwu and Jiang Liang, "Silence spell?"
It seems that Kaiyang can't tell the truth about this matter.
Kaiyang slowly raised his broken sword, "It's a pity, my... boy."
"Mo Lin is right... I was probably really wrong..."
It turns out that no one's life can be killed casually.
He choked out the last bit of blood and slowly closed his eyes.
Another voice appeared outside the defense formation.
"I am here to arrest the rebels. Please open the door, Taoist Master."
Lin Du lowered his eyes, and his hand fell on Kaiyang, feeling a piercing burning pain on his wrist.
"Three Poison Seals?" Lin Du murmured in a low voice, "How is it possible?"
Kaiyang did not have the three poisons before.
"Lingwei Daojun! Lingwei Daojun!" Yaoguang's voice became more urgent, "May I ask Daojun, has the rebel Kaiyang escaped into your mansion? This person is extremely dangerous, please be careful."
Lin Du deployed the formation as quickly as possible, then gave Kaiyang a bottle of spiritual liquid brought from the netherworld, then stood up and opened the cave's defense formation.
Just as Yao Guang was about to continue knocking on the door, he discovered that the restriction had been lifted.
Taoist Lingwei stood inside the door, his pale blue robe stained with blood. Due to the special material of the robe, the blood slowly coagulated and rolled down without leaving any trace.
That face that usually had a smile on it, now had no smile at all. It looked superior, with its chin slightly raised and its eyelids drooping as it looked down at people. Its grey eyes were abnormally cold.
"He's dead."
Three words: frosted.
