Chapter 457 Is this Lingwei Daojun really not a Gu Xiu?
Lin Du had expected to see Lin Tuan again for a long time, but when Lin Tuan took the first step, he felt timid.
Sending the ghost to the underworld was Lin Du's unilateral effort to save the situation without anyone's consent, just like a child who did not obey orders and started to get scared when he thought about meeting his parents. Lin Du
regretted coming down alone. With Wei Zhi, he could help share most of the firepower, but now she was alone.
Otherwise... let's put all the blame on Wei Zhi.
Lin Du thought it over, took a deep breath, and then followed Shen Tu into the corner of the mountain. Lin Tuan
likes peach blossoms, likes the everlasting prosperity of the four seasons, the everlasting flowers, and the eternal prosperity.
But there is no such thing
in the underworld. But the valley seems to have gathered most of the flowers and plants that can grow in the underworld. The flowers blooming on the bones of Yin Qi look different from the flowers in the world of the living. They are faint and reveal boundless tranquility.
"This wine is not enough, can you give me another thousand years?" A familiar female voice broke the silence.
Lin Du's heart began to beat wildly again.
"I'm really impressed. You drank so much, what is there that you can't forget? I'm Meng Po! Meng Po! Do you know what Meng Po is!" A little girl shouted crisply, "You insulted my profession!"
"Didn't you say that in addition to making soup, you are also a good brewer of wine, and you also claim to be able to get drunk for a thousand days, without any dreams or thoughts. Isn't it just that I want to try it?"
"What I gave you is a thousand-day drunkenness!" the little girl was angrily, "The fact that you have no reaction is the biggest insult to me."
"Then just treat me as special and give me a thousand-year drunkenness." The female voice became softer.
The little girl stood under a locust tree with her hands on her hips, not giving in, "Drunkard!!! Last time! If I bring you wine next time and you still drink it all up and complain that I am too young, I will, I will never come again."
There was no wind in the valley, but the lush locust trees trembled slightly, and then a figure fell from above, wearing a purple robe and the locust flowers unique to the underworld.
Lin Du's heart settled down at this moment.
That familiar face, the figure that had not been seen for more than a thousand years, appeared in front of Lin Du in its entirety. Lin
Tuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the valley entrance, and his eyes fell on the cyan figure that did not belong to the ghost world.
After she stood still, she looked at Lin Du carefully for a while, then laughed, "You look a bit like an adult now."
Lin Du suddenly turned around and tried to smile, "At my age in the fairy world, I am still a young man who knows nothing." Lin
Tuan shook his head, "I know you can always do it, you know everything, and you can do everything well."
Lin Du was still standing there, as if in a dream, until Lin Tuan walked towards her, startling the dark butterflies that rested on the wet ground. They flew and circled, and finally landed on the shoulders of the fairy.
And Lin Du also fell into the man's warm embrace.
In the Styx, time returned to stillness, but Lin Du was always going upstream. Time washed away all the external things on her body, but many times, the torrent could not wash away many things.
Humans are animals that need love, but it is never limited to love. It is the love of elders and the friendship of friends.
A child who is nurtured by love is the richest. She can grow and seek with confidence.
When Lin Du returned, she had nothing in her hands and was full of loss. But now, no matter where she goes, even if she is penniless, she always feels that she is extremely rich.
In the past, Lin Du thought that feelings were dispensable and did not detract from her pursuit and strength, but these belated feelings were indeed precious, so precious that she was even more timid when she was close to her hometown and dared not ask for the visitors.
"You have always been the most amazing child I have ever met." Lin Tuan
patted her back gently, "So don't be afraid, just do what you think is right."
Lin Du lowered his head, "What if I make a wrong judgment?"
"No." Lin Tuan touched her head, "The right thing at that time and the wrong thing later cannot be generalized, right?"
Lin Du thought, maybe Lin Tuan knows everything. When
people stand in front of a turbulent river and look at the dam that is about to be destroyed, the decision they make at that time may be correct.
But with the passage of time, when the flood breaks the dam, the actions of the predecessors are wrong.
"You have to learn to accept it. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. A person's cognition cannot be comprehensive, not even God."
"Do what you think is right at the time. You are cautious by nature, do things thoroughly, and attach the most importance to responsibility. I believe you. This is the most correct decision you can make at the time. Even if it is wrong in the future, you are ready to bear it. That's enough."
With history as a mirror, he finally became a passerby.
"You... remember everything, right?" Lin Du suddenly spoke.
Lin Tuan didn't explain anything, he just hugged her tightly, and didn't let go for a long time, then looked into Lin Du's eyes, "I am your ancestor, and later generations look at their predecessors. It's too late for the predecessors to regret, but they shouldn't make the later generations timid."
"I can't forget those scenes, the souls trapped in the shrine, the disasters and sins of greed, the souls that I tried so hard to untie but eventually became evil spirits." Lin Tuan looked at Lin Du, his voice gentle, "I thought that offering sacrifices to make up for the whole heaven was my best destination."
"Lin Du, I heard that you are now the Taoist Lord of Sanyuan Jiufu, and that the Floating Life Fan and Dream Pen can judge a person's merits and demerits and gains and losses. Why not let me in once?"
Lin Du was stunned for a long time, "Do you want to go in?"
"Can't you judge my merits and demerits?" Lin Tuan looked at her.
Lin Du's heart strangely calmed down. This was a good thing for both of them.
After she ascended to the upper realm, she found that the root of everything was indeed on the fallen god Hou Tu, and even more on the evil of all people. Lin Tuan was the reincarnation of Hou Tu. She had no memory at the beginning, and she had not done those things. So Lin Du could safely and boldly tell Kai Yang that Lin Tuan was right, and Dongming Realm should not be closed.
But now Lin Tuan has all the memories of Hou Tu. Even if she is no longer Hou Tu, those memories still bother her.
Regardless of closeness or enmity, Lin Du should become a scale to measure the merits and demerits of the world and to determine sin and blessing. It is her responsibility.
The moment Lin Du raised his hand, Shen Tu and Meng Po looked at the immortal at the same time.
Meng Po seemed to want to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Shen Tu and shook her head.
"Although Lin Du is considerate, she is still a celestial official. The innate spiritual treasure in her hand controls the rules of heaven and earth and divine power, and she performs divine duties. It is not easy for you and me to interfere."
Meng Po's eyes widened, "You are the Ghost Emperor, shouldn't the Ghost Emperor be more powerful than the Taoist?"
Shen Tu thought seriously, "If we really fight, it's fifty-fifty."
Meng Po's eyes widened, "Lin Du sounds good, but there is still a chance of winning, right?"
"Fifty percent she beats me and I lose directly, fifty percent she commands the gods and I lose indirectly." Shen Tu said.
Meng Po: ...?
The Fu Sheng Fan over there has already shone brightly, and Lin Tuan's figure has disappeared.
Lin Du sat there, countless dark butterflies fell around her, she didn't look at them, just looked up at the Floating Life Fan and the Dream Pen, the immortal power and consciousness in her body continuously outlined Lin Tuan's life.
If the Floating Life Fan judged that she was Lin Tuan, then from now on, there would be only one ghost cultivator of Lin Tuan, and if she was judged to be Hou Tu, then she would bear the punishment she deserved. Lin Tuan
's life was very long.
So long that Meng Po was caught and taken away for leaving her post, and Shen Tu felt bored. Seeing that Lin Du's immortal power was gradually decreasing, and it was difficult to walk, he could only play the Nine-Ring Chain beside her.
Shen Tu looked as smart as he could be, but he always got stuck when playing the Nine-Ring Chain Chain.
Lin Du had heard enough, took it over, and solved it in no time.
"You can't do this, it's not interesting, do you understand?" Shen Tu complained, "I'm just this stubborn person who can't stop and sort out the mess, otherwise how can I kill time?"
Lin Du suddenly looked at Shen Tu, stared at her for a long time, and then laughed, "You're right, I'll get it back for you."
Shen Tu was unhappy again, "Forget it, forget it, you make me look stupid."
Lin Du smiled and said nothing, raised his head again, and looked at the Fu Sheng Fan.
On the fan, it was written that Lin Tuan was born in the stormy time of the Posuo royal family. With everyone's hope, he went to Zhongzhou, wanting to find a new way out, but was expelled from the royal family. He
was upright and kind throughout his life, killing demons, helping the poor, managing and guiding the sect, and had countless small merits.
The picture was suddenly covered by thick clouds, and in the thick clouds, the rays of light descended.
Lin Du looked up and watched intently.
With his personal sacrifice, the Heavenly Dao of the Dongming Realm completely returned to its original strength. Since then, the Dongming Realm has stopped its decline, which is a great achievement.
The picture was once again wrapped in thick clouds, surging in groups.
Lin Du and Shen Tu focused at the same time.
"You want Hou Tu, and I want Lin Tuan. Do you want to guess what the final result is?" Lin Du asked.
Shen Tu put away the Nine Linked Rings, clanging them, "I won't play dumb with smart people, I'll be frank, the underworld needs Hou Tu."
Lin Du thought seriously, "Tai Yin is a position, so is the Emperor of Heaven, why can't Hou Tu be one? Of course you can have a Hou Tu, what if that Hou Tu is called Lin Tuan?"
Shen Tu was circling around, "That can also be Lin Tuan."
As Shen Tu was circling around, Lin Du also smiled, looking at the lightning flashing inside, so bright that it almost broke through the fan, his expression became solemn again.
The final result also gradually appeared.
Although Lintuan is the reincarnation of Houtu's true soul, she has done one great deed and thousands of small deeds in this life, but not a single major fault. However, she was willing to be tortured to clarify her identity. She did not inherit the merits and should not suffer the hardship. Now she has broken the illusion in the illusion and established a ghost body, becoming a ghost fairy.
Shen Tu looked at the result, "In the end, she was still willing to accept her previous identity and chose to cultivate again as a ghost fairy, instead of becoming Lintu and returning to reincarnation. It seems that I won, but you didn't lose either."
"Perhaps, her essence has never been lost." Lin Du said seriously.
Lintuan, the essence of this true soul, concentrates the true essence of Houtu who is believed and admired.
It is hard to say whether the power of faith of all people in the underworld finally preserves the former Houtu or the hearts that have gathered for the people in those years.
Lin Tuan walked out of the illusion of life, accepted the blessing, and was filled with the breath of a ghost fairy.
A person's growth is destined to be a process of accepting oneself, knowing oneself, admitting mistakes, but still willing to move forward.
She looked at Lin Du. Although he was in a state of panic, having obviously suffered a divine tribulation far beyond his own realm, he smiled with relief and gentleness, "It seems that I will have to call you Daojun in the future."
Lin Du smiled and shook his head, put away the Fu Sheng Fan and the Dream Pen, "You will always be my uncle."
She turned to look at Shen Tu, "Do you want to come too?"
Shen Tu took a step back, "Well, well, I haven't solved the Nine Rings yet, I'll go first."
Lin Du crossed his arms, watched Shen Tu flee, and shook his head, "Maybe there will be a blessing!! Don't run!! Come one by one, come one by one!"
Shen Tu ran faster and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Du shook his head and sighed, holding the fan and went up to the sky.
Chu Guanmeng felt that Lin Du's mood seemed a little subtle, "Aren't you happy to see Lin Tuan?"
Lin Du nodded and played with the fan, "Happy."
She suddenly opened the folding fan, "But people can't just focus on being happy."
Today, Lin Tuan taught her the last lesson, don't give up the right action at the time because of fear of failure in the long run.
Lin Du doesn't mind taking the blame that may be caused in the future.
She doesn't want selective justice, she wants a lasting and permanent order, so those dark spots accumulated in the past should be removed to prevent more mold from growing, causing the order to decay and eventually disappear.
Lin Du now understands Wen Fu's mood, and it is because of Wen Fu's existence that she is always alert and can't just rely on her own reasoning, but also needs more evidence.
Now that the footprints of the predecessors have been re-established, she should also... follow those footprints and rethink the truth of the past.
Lin Du opened the floating life fan, and his consciousness sank into it, looking back at Lin Tuan's floating life illusion.
A person will never truly experience every snow in another person's life. All Lin Du can do is to step on these footprints and barely grasp a little truth from them.
When the Posuo Kingdom was destroyed, did Lin Tuan really not discover anything at that time?
Lin Du remembered that the treasure house of the Supreme Sect was left by the predecessors who went out for experience for generations.
When did the red rope arrive at the treasure house?
Lin Du found the answer in Lin Tuan's life.
The red rope was indeed found by Lin Tuan.
She put the red rope in the treasure house of the sect without any mark. Even Feng Chao didn't know what it was and even thought it was the tassel of the spirit sword.
Did Lin Tuan really not know what the red rope was at that time? Lin Du thought it was not necessarily the case.
If she didn't know, she wouldn't have put it in the treasure house.
As early as when the Posuo Kingdom was destroyed, Lin Tuan rushed there. In the war, he saw the red rope that suddenly appeared. Then he endured the resistance and burning of the red rope and spent all his spiritual power at that time to send the red rope that refused to return to the treasure house.
The red rope is waiting for a recognized master, and Lin Tuan is waiting for the red rope to have a recognized master.
Lin Du thought that, to some extent, Lin Tuan and Yin Huai Tian, in some mysterious way, had jointly pushed her onto this path.
They should have been opposites, but in fact, they both lit a lamp for future generations when they were powerless.
Lin Du followed Lin Tuan's footsteps and saw the dusty memories that were unlocked after she entered the underworld.
In ancient times, Hou Tu governed Kyushu and was the god of the five lands. After the ancient gods returned to the rules, Hou Tu responded to the calls of her people in the disaster and resurrected.
In the end, it was the people who converted the gods, and the gods saved the people from water and fire.
Until... the three thousand worlds, the gods were finally overwhelmed, with limited divine power and endless prayers. In order to facilitate salvation, Houtu condensed her wishes into glass beads and sent them to various worlds for salvation.
Desires burst out, and the incense was poisonous.
Houtu was born with the seal of all people, and could not destroy it. In the end, the souls that were maintained by the seal of all people with countless unfulfilled wishes stayed in the shrine, becoming a "soul of the Jingzhong formation". Surrounded by incense, they became man-eating demons.
So, the hell transformation map and the real pile of bones that Lindu saw at the bottom of the sea before, which pulled down the gods, really happened.
That was the deepest fear that Lintu wanted to forget, but could not forget.
Today, Lin Tuan was brave because of Lin Du's appearance, and Lin Du also moved forward because of Lin Tuan's advice.
Lin Du slowly opened his eyes and used his consciousness to ring the contract with Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi responded quickly, "What's wrong?"
"I suspect that the true dragon's inner elixir containing the power of Taiyin and the red rope were sent to the Posa Kingdom together with precision."
The other end was silent for a while, and then asked, "You gave me a new inspiration. I shouldn't look everywhere like this without any direction."
"Guixu is the gathering place of all waters, with countless different torrents. Maybe I can find the torrent of water source in Dongming Realm."
Lin Du suddenly thought of something, "Wei Zhi, I'll give you a reference."
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment, "You brought the soil and water of your hometown with you when you ascended?"
Lin Du laughed, "How could that be?"
Before Wei Zhi could react, his consciousness was drawn by Lin Du and he saw Lin Du's heart.
A glass heart, but with countless crack-like lines, and around the heart, wrapped in a faint light, continuously delivering vitality, so the heart beats and blood flows.
"My heart is repaired with the deep sea true spirit, the deep sea true spirit of the Dongming Realm, can you feel it?"
Wei Zhi was stunned for a long time, so long that Lin Du thought something had happened to him, and even the contract was blocked, he spoke, "Well, I can."
He suddenly joked, "So you are my beacon."
Lin Du sighed, "As for people, of course whoever is free will help light up, people on the same road can't all walk together in the dark."
"Lin Du, let's see where we will go in the future." After he finished speaking, he pulled Lin Du's consciousness and connected his five senses.
It was an endlessly deep sea, and it was even hard to tell that it was the sea, because there was no life or anything in sight. The endless water made the entire space seem empty.
"It might be a bit cold." Lin Du commented.
"You are never afraid of the cold." Wei Zhi flicked his tail and moved forward with all his strength, bringing out some arcs of surging water and wisps of silver light.
"It looks much better this way." Lin Du looked at the water waves that were like the light of a shark's veil, "It doesn't seem so bad."
"This way we all end up together." The silver dragon moved forward quickly, passing through the endless sea, looking for the surging water of his homeland.
"It's not a disappointment." Lin Du smiled lightly.
The last step of growth is to calmly accept the death that will arrive in the long future.
Death is meaningless, but the end of death is one of the meanings of life trying to live.
"I suspect that Yin Huaitian's death was not caused by Hou Tu, but by the evil demon riot ten thousand years ago."
"Because Kaiyang said that the Heavenly Palace was afraid that Lin Tuan would ascend and would re-absorb the powerful power hidden in the source of the demonic energy. But when I opened the seal that day, I found that there was only evil demonic energy inside, and not much power of rules."
"You said that the Dongming Realm has the so-called condensed fallen god fragments, why wouldn't there be escaped fallen god fragments in the Heavenly Realm?"
Wei Zhi thought for a while, "Your idea is very bold, but this is the most likely cause of Yin Huaitian's death."
"In that case, it is hidden in the Heavenly Realm, you have to be careful."
Lin Du smiled, "Don't worry, I'm the direct disciple of Daozu."
"No matter how careful you are, you will still worry about precious things. Your strength does not affect my worries. This is just my worry."
Lin Du was about to say something when she heard a little boy riding a cloud of auspicious power rushing towards her, shouting, "Taoist Lord! Taoist Lord! Lingwei Taoist Lord!"
She stood up, waved away the defensive restrictions she had set up, and left the mansion. She found that it was the new boy from Sanyuan Mansion, "What's wrong?"
"Taoist Lord! A newcomer has ascended, and this newcomer seems to be very powerful. Immortal Lord Xuanying asked me to come and call you quickly so that you can go and grab it!"
Lin Du smiled when he heard this, "I seem to remember that the immortal officials promised me that when a newcomer comes, they will give it to me first. Why do you want me to grab it myself?"
The little boy was young, but he understood the truth very well. "If you don't go, they will definitely say, oh, you didn't come, they thought you didn't want it, oh, I forgot!"
Lin Du smiled and stuffed him a handful of jade coins, and took Chu Guanmeng down to the Holy Disciple Heaven.
Before he even reached the residence of Jie Yin, he heard a loud shout, "I just want to be free and unrestrained. You can't force a free and unrestrained Taoist to take a job! Playing the violin at a banquet is not allowed! The annual salary of 500,000 yuan for housing is not allowed. I don't deserve it..."
Before Lin Du entered the palace, the doorman outside had already saluted, "Lingwei Daojun!"
The immortals in the palace fell silent instantly. Before Yuan Ye could react, he saw the immortal official who was recording dropped his pen and stood up to greet him.
Yuan Ye thought, could it be that the eldest senior brother has made a name for himself in just a few hundred years and is more powerful than the star gods of the fighting and thunder departments?
Then he heard a familiar yet frightening voice, "Oh, what a coincidence, Kaiyang Star Lord, you are here too, there are so many people in the Dou tribe, aren't they enough? You promised me that we are short of people in the Three Yuans and Nine Prefectures, and let me choose first, how come you chose first?"
Yuan Ye turned around suddenly and met Lin Du's half-smiled face.
This damn familiar look of contempt, who else could it be but Junior Master!
The group of Star Lords saluted and smiled falsely, "I thought Daojun went out on business and hasn't come back yet."
Lin Du didn't answer, but looked at Yuan Ye, "Are we from the Three Yuans and Nine Prefectures coming?"
Yuan Ye nodded crisply, "Okay!"
At this time, any hesitation on his part would be disrespectful to the memory engraved in his bones.
Lin Du smiled and looked at the star officials, "In that case, I'll leave first. Goodbye, everyone."
The star officials stared at each other in a daze for a moment, "No... she hasn't even mentioned the treatment yet! She's leaving now? Huh?"
"Isn't he the Taoist Xiaoyao? Hasn't he been doing his salary for years? His boss is so kind, but he doesn't do any work, no matter how little it is?" "
Aren't Sanyuan Jiufu and Lingwei Daojun good places? What can they compare with us? Huh??? Just this???"
"Isn't this Lingwei Daojun really not a Gu cultivator?"
