Chapter 65
Chapter 65
Xie Lin felt uncomfortable from his mucus-like eyes, but the air was so heavy that he couldn't move.
This is very abnormal, he thought, the owner behind a shop in the "black market" is not a mortal, he can understand, but he can feel such a sense of oppression without reciting spells or drawing symbols... This is not even a low-level monk.
Even if he has been with Yun Nianchen these days, Xie Lin will not think that high-ranking monks are common things that run around the street, so when did he offend such a person?
In any case, I have to find a way to move and get out of here.
Xie Lin subconsciously used exercises to resist the ubiquitous sense of oppression, while quietly probing with the other party: "Just now on the street, the person who has been staring at me is you?"
The other party seemed a little surprised: "It's pretty smart."
"Then..." Xie Lin thought for a while, "Who are you?"
"Good question." The other party nodded speciously, as if thinking for a moment, but couldn't find any adjectives for when, so he said, "What do you think?"
How does he know?He is a law-abiding young man.
Without hope, Xie Lin fished out the only malicious candidate: "Fang Mingxiu? Is your injury healed?"
The one that hit him last time was the sky thunder that even Yun Nianchen thought was unfathomable, so it wouldn't be possible to recover so quickly, right?
Hearing this, the other party showed a disgusted expression: "How can that kind of trash be compared with me?"
"Isn't it really..." Xie Lin shook his head, "Then I can't figure it out, I am a person who is fine and doesn't like to make enemies with others."
It's okay if you don't say this, but as soon as you say it, the other party starts laughing.
He laughed wildly, as if Xie Lin had told the funniest joke in the world, making Xie Lin bewildered: "Did I say something wrong?" .
The other party shook his head: "'His' child, how could he be enemies with others, and he is not like me——"
"Run away, run away, run away—"
From the moment he said the first word, Xie Lin felt a strange movement, a sliver of life suddenly squeezed into the lifeless closed space, and then, childish voices that he hadn't heard for a long time filled Xie Lin's brain like bubbles.
"Run away."
"This thing is very dangerous."
A tiny gap seemed to be torn open in the space, and a force was pushing Xie Lin towards the gap.
It was a collection of many tiny organisms. Xie Lin could feel that they were gentle and harmless spirits, so he chose to obey, but——
"Wait," Xie Lin shouted, "at least tell me what's going on—"
"You'll know."
"Wait until you remember."
He was pushed out by that force.
——"Remember it!"
Xie Lin was shocked, he was already in the shop.
Yun Nianchen happened to turn around to look at him: "What?"
"I……"
Xie Lin blinked in a daze, then turned around abruptly, only to see that the shopkeeper was still following behind, and asked with a smile on his face, "Did the guest officer change his mind?"
Xie Lin frowned, the voices of those spirits were still in my ears, but I couldn't feel their existence around me, even the space just now, the stranger who suddenly appeared, the breathless oppressive feeling, it was like It is a long-lost illusion.
"Who is your boss?" Xie Lin asked.
The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "The guest officer is joking, how can a young casual cultivator who works with spirit stones inquire about the master's affairs?"
It means that I don't know.
Xie Lin was still thinking, when suddenly he stretched out a hand.Yun Nianchen stopped him: "What's wrong?"
Xie Lin regained consciousness and shook his head: "It's okay... let's go."
He turned against the guest, grabbed Yun Nianchen's forearm through his sleeve, pulled him out, and walked in the direction he came and went.
Yun Nianchen clasped his hand instead: "Stop shopping?"
Xie Lin left in a hurry: "Well... let's talk about it when we go out."
It wasn't until he returned to the inn that Xie Lin's tense spirit relaxed. He sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of cold water, and drank it one gulp at a time: "Did you...didn't notice anything unusual just now?"
"No." Yun Nianchen stood beside him, looking at him quietly with lowered eyes, "I'm waiting for you to tell me."
"But actually I don't know what happened." Xie Lin took another sip of water and slowly replayed the scene in his mind, "I was suddenly pulled into a strange space..."
Then the strange shop owner appeared, and then... those inexplicable words.
The other said he was "His" child, and the spirits said... "Wait until you remember".
Whether it is the memory of being picked up as an orphan, or the memory of "Xie Ruyi" that I have seen intermittently over the years, there seems to be no relevant content.
So, is there a misunderstanding, or is there something that even he doesn't know?
"Well."
With a sudden splitting pain in his head, Xie Lin shook his whole body, his elbows resting heavily on the table.
The cup in his hand slipped and there was a "boom", leaving a little cold water on his body.
Yun Nianchen stepped forward quickly, clasped his shoulder with one hand, and before he could speak, a spiritual force had penetrated into Xie Lin's body: "Thank you—"
The familiar name was about to blurt out, but he stopped abruptly. He paused for a moment, then changed his words: "Xie Lin? Xie Lin?"
no respond.
Xie Lin's aura was very chaotic, but Yun Nianchen didn't dare to help him after being backlashed by the demons for a long time. He could only use spiritual power to stabilize the opponent's sea of qi, and no amount of it would be enough. After thinking about it, he actually There was only one thing left to do, calling his name.
Probably the most desperate thing in the world is to see that person in deep trouble, but you can't do anything about it.
Xie Lin's situation didn't improve, just like he couldn't stop Xie Ruyi from disappearing back then.
·
"This old man, he didn't speak clearly before his ascension, what should I do now?"
"Ahh, there's no information on this thing for me to look up..."
"Then...or else..."
"Hopefully it's useful."
……
Suddenly, many pictures flashed in front of my eyes.
About 300 years ago, Yao Guangjun Xie Ruyi felt that he seemed to have touched the "door", and his heart, which had always been Buddhist, felt anxious for a long time.
Of course, he knows that he is stubborn by nature, and he is not as good as the rumors outside. When his master ascended to the ascension and the Xianmen wanted to choose a new head, Xie Ruyi decisively put this almost nail on his head, but it was too cumbersome. The errand was pushed out by force, so at this time, he was not worrying about the Celestial Star Immortal Sect.
He was worried that his younger brother, who was more stubborn, would no longer be cared for, and he was also worried about his promotion.
It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to ascend, but that it's too smooth.
A few days before Xiaoyaozi's ascension, Zeng suddenly called him to the front of the collapse, and said something inexplicable with all his heart.
——"Ruyi, you...you are my smartest apprentice."
He and Xiaoyaozi have always been a pair of mentors and apprentices who are keen on mutual hatred, so when hearing this, Xie Ruyi's first thought was that his master took the wrong medicine today, and his second reaction was "parting words, conscience discovery" .
So I thought it over and over again, and replied hesitantly: "Master, you can ascend with peace of mind, I will remember to miss you... Oh, the younger brother will also take care of you, at least before I ascend."
At that time, he was already at the cultivation base of Guiyi Realm Dzogchen, and he was just a step away from flying ascension, which is very true.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyaozi neither refuted nor praised, but just looked at Xie Ruyi for a long time with a complicated expression, and then asked him a question that he had thought about for a long time afterwards.
"What do you think is ascension?"
At first, Xie Ruyi didn't understand much, but as the days passed, he seemed to have a feeling, as if he gradually understood what Master meant at the beginning.
What is ascension?
Is it eternal crossing bliss and entering the fairyland?
If not, what is the difference between dying and dying?
After all, there are still differences, Xie Ruyi vaguely felt that ascension and death should not be exactly the same.
But he didn't understand it for a while, and as the days passed, he gradually realized that he didn't want to say goodbye to this world.
In the past, Xiaoyaozi always said that he was unbearable, but Xie Ruyi didn't care. During that time, he had to admit that Master was wise.
He had so much nostalgia for the world that the matter of ascension not only lost its appeal, but even became a little... frightening.
But how can the monk escape the ascension?
At his level of cultivation, it has become an instinct to breathe out the spiritual energy of the world, and he can't even slow down if he wants to - it's enough to catch fish, it can't be slower - for this reason, Xie Ruyi even modified his own Cultivation techniques, at the cost of internal injuries, slowed down the body's absorption of heaven and earth aura.
With extra time, he rummaged through the Book Collection Pavilion of Tianxing Xianmen, just to find a possible answer.
"If we cultivate to submit an answer of our own in front of the Dao of Heaven, then what kind of response will the Dao of Heaven give us at the end of this road?"
"And what if... I'm a demon cultivator?"
Only then did Xie Ruyi remember that for thousands of years, it seemed that no magic cultivator had ever ascended.
Why is there such a difference?
He vaguely felt that this question would tell him the answer about Ascension.
So after three months, Xie Ruyi went down the mountain.
·
When Xie Lin opened his eyes, the water marks on his clothes were not even completely dried.
Yun Nianchen's rarely anxious voice was heard next to his ear. He raised his head and looked over, a strange brilliance flickered on his eye mask.
Yun Nianchen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, and his voice sank, as if the anxiety just now was an illusion: "Xie Lin? What's wrong with you?"
"Suddenly... a little headache."
Xie Lin smiled, and this smile made the special feeling in him fade away a lot.Yun Nianchen didn't notice anything different, and was about to ask again, when Xie Lin asked again: "I thought about how to gather spirit stones, when can I shoot gold stone horns?"
Yun Nianchen was startled again, and quickly said: "There is no rush, you haven't finished what you just said - enter a strange space, and then?"
"Then I met the owner of that store. Although I don't know why he opened up a space to see me, nothing strange happened." Xie Lin finished speaking casually, staring at Yun Nianchen, "Yun... read Chen, speaking of it, I have always felt that you did not rush to repair the big formation, was Fang Mingxiu dragging you down, or..." He paused, "You didn't even want to repair it?"
"Uh..." Yun Nianchen's lips moved.
Xie Lin really couldn't hear what he said: "What?"
"Yes." Yun Nianchen said, "I didn't want to repair it. If it wasn't for the formation left by Master and Senior Brother, I wouldn't even take a second look at it."
"Why?"
"Whether it is the world of cultivating immortals or the world of demons, what does the life and death of the world have to do with me?"
Ah, sure enough.
Sure enough, no matter how many years, Xiao Yun'er still has that temper.
But this is troublesome, Xie Lin thought, Fang Mingxiu didn't know if he had taken refuge in the Demon Realm, but he didn't want them to build a large formation; the only person who could do it didn't want to do it yet.
Of course, now—
Xie Lin felt the heat of the bracelet on his wrist, and thought silently, now that he finally has a sense of Xie Ruyi's reality, he doesn't really want to repair that array anymore.
"Besides—" Yun Nianchen suddenly said.
Xie Lin raised his head to look at him, his eyes were a little blank: "Huh?"
"I said before, if it wasn't for those demon cultivators who hurt the senior brother back then, with the senior brother's cultivation base, how could he fail in ascension?"
Yun Nianchen's eyes fell on Xie Lin's body together with the cool moonlight, like a shadow, not as sticky as that strange shop owner, but there is another kind of bond that cannot be escaped.Xie Lin still remembered these words, and of course he also remembered that these words were said in such a state of madness when Yun Nianchen's demons had a fit.
A subtle feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
And Yun Nianchen's words continued: "Of course I won't disobey my brother's wishes and go after those demon cultivators, but I really wish they would leave the demon world and be hunted down by the mob in the immortal world...it should be very exciting ,Right?"
In fact, his tone of voice at this time was a bit creepy, but it was a pity that Xie Lin couldn't be scared.
He blinked, and then smiled: "But little senior uncle, have you ever thought about it, what if your senior brother...well, doesn't want to ascend?"
Yun Nianchen's aura suddenly became very dangerous, Xie Lin reasonably suspected that if another person sat here, or Yun Nianchen's condition would be better, he would be blocked by those golden light swords at the pulse gate right now.
Fortunately, Xie Lin knew how to give him a smooth ride: "Otherwise, if you think about it, how could it be possible to affect your senior brother's ascension just by relying on those demon cultivators?"
"The reason is this reason..."
"If you don't believe me, you can verify it yourself." Xie Lin changed the subject, "Let's go to the Demon Realm to see."
