"You are the kid who wants to help us test Mo Ruyi, right? It is said that you are also a distant relative of Mo Ruyi?" As soon as Shu Ruohang came over, he got straight to the point.
"I am exactly that kid." Lin Jingzhe said, "But I am not a distant relative of Mo Ruyi, but an old friend of your master who is also the leader of the Luo Li Sect..."
Before Lin Jingzhe finished speaking, he was interrupted directly.
"Old friend?" Shu Ruohang sneered: "Although I don't know how you know the master's name, but if you are really his old friend, how can you be a young boy?"
Shu Ruohang was dressed as a nun, so it was normal for him to call himself a poor nun.
"Well, I didn't finish what I said just now. You interrupted me on your own initiative. Actually, what I want to say is that I was entrusted by a descendant of your master's old friend to seek shelter from your Luo Li sect."
"An old friend to a descendant? An entrustment? What a mess."
"I know you don't believe it, but when I tell you about your master's past later, you will definitely be shocked."
"Oh, I want to listen attentively, poor nun."
"Your master and his old friend were once tomb robbers..."
"Nonsense." The female shopkeeper interrupted him and said coldly: "You brat, what good does it do you to slander our leader of the Luo Li Sect?"
"Tie Sanniang, let him continue." Shu Ruohang stared at the young man in front of her with a smile, but at this time, there was already a huge wave in her heart, because only she and her father knew that her father was a tomb robber. Then why does he know it too? Is it true that he is the person entrusted by his father's old friend, as he said?
Tie Sanniang snorted and turned her head away. She was still angry at being captured last night.
Lin Jingzhe looked at the middle-aged nun in front of him, and then continued: "Your master once had an old friend with him who started out as a tomb robber. Once, they pried open an ancient tomb and obtained the inheritance in the ancient tomb. Then your master Founded the Luo Li Sect."
"Who told you these things?"
"Of course he is a descendant of his old friend."
"Oh, then where did you come here from?"
"Going all the way north, thousands of miles away, to Cangzhou, State of Chu."
"Really?" Su Ruohang looked at him with a half-smile, and then said: "Then what is your relationship with my master's descendants? Why did he tell you these things?"
"I am a minister of Chu State. I am here to find your Luo Li Sect and entrust a person to go to Chu State to be the protector of the country."
"Nonsense, why didn't I see you when I went to Cangzhou of Chu State?" Shu Ruohang stared at the calm young man in front of him with a cold expression.
"I just came to Chu State to take office half a year ago. It's normal that you haven't seen me. Could it be that you have been staying in Chu State?"
"Even if what you say is true, how can you prove that what you say is true?"
"Isn't it enough to say that your master and his old friend started out as tomb robbers?"
"This really doesn't prove it. As far as I know, the tombs in the Chu Mausoleum contain the biographies of the ancestors of the Chu State. The biographies record the deeds of my master. It is naturally normal." Shu Ruohang changed the subject, "Let the poor nun Let’s take a guess, maybe you only found out that my master started out as a tomb robber after entering the Chu Mausoleum.”
"Your guess is indeed very accurate." Lin Jingzhe did not deny it.
Shu Ruohang's expression turned cold after hearing what he said, "Do you have anything else to explain behind your back? You know, the consequences of pretending to be someone entrusted by our old friends from Luo Li Sect will be very serious."
"Pretend?" Lin Jingzhe smiled coldly, her voice gradually rising, "Since you have been to the Chu Kingdom, why did you let a corpse-refining Foundation Establishment Stage monk control the Chu Kingdom's meridians? How many people do you know because of a guardian with evil intentions? The National Master died innocently? Do you know that the evil Protector National Master teamed up with a big Gu demon to turn all the forgotten lands to the north into their training ground?"
Shu Ruohang was startled by the rising voice of the young man in the Qi training period in front of him. Naturally, she didn't know these things, because when she passed by Cangzhou of Chu State, she passed by in a hurry. As for who the protector of the country was, she didn't know at all. She didn't care, because in her heart, mortals were just ants, and there were so many ants, who could care about them.
However, she still said unconvinced: "Who can prove that what you said is true? Even if it is true, we cultivators cannot interfere in the wars in the world. It will cause karma and bring down Yali."
Lin Jingzhe looked at her, took a deep breath, and said: "You are high above, like gods in the sky. You think you are much higher than mortals, but have you ever thought that you were not mortals before you embarked on the path of cultivation? If there were no mortals to provide you with bodies and flesh, how would you embark on the path of cultivation?
Since you have become a cultivator, you must naturally shoulder the mission of killing demons and eradicating evil, and defending mortals. If mortals do not provide a steady stream of life, where would this god-like spirit come from? "
Shu Ruohang and Tie Sanniang were speechless. After a while, Tie Sanniang asked weakly: "Then, have you driven away the big demon and the national master who refined the corpse?" ?”
"Driving them away," Lin Jingzhe said, "Thousands of mortals drove them away with their strong will without fear of death."
Lin Jingzhe did not take the credit for himself, because he felt that he was not worthy of the credit, because he was also selfish.
Because at that time he was also thinking that if Wang Shibo had not been his senior brother, if the bronze mirror in his hand had not fallen into his hands, and if the clues in the bronze mirror did not point to the direction of Chu Ting, he might not have set foot in Cangzhou City. He It is also possible that after meeting Wang Shuya, Ru Meng, Yue Long and others, various things that touch him will happen.
People are selfish, and everyone is no exception.
People in the world often say that the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. But who would have helped him or protected the things or people he cared about when he was young?
Some people may say that a person's ability is limited, and he cannot take care of everyone, not even gods can do that.
However, when that god, when that ray of sunshine has not shined on that person for a long time, until that person loses his family, friends, and even everything, when the sky is not responding and the earth is not working, he has lost it. All hope was lost, trust in gods, sunshine, and even the good things in the world.
Lin Jingzhe justifiably believed that he was this kind of person. He believed that if the aloof gods at that time could take care of him, Brother Xiaowu and Brother Dongzhi would not die. However, just when you are completely disappointed, the gods and that When a beam of light still hasn't reached you, you are already in despair.
He later learned that when going deep into desperate situations and relying on others, it is better to rely on yourself. Relying on yourself can at least give you unlimited motivation, encourage yourself, tear through the darkness, and usher in the light.
Shu Ruohang found out that he actually knew less about these principles than the young man in front of him who only had Qi refining, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
However, when she remembered the mission of the Luo Li Sect to guard here, she slowly said: "From your perspective, what you said makes sense, but from the perspective of our Luo Li Sect, we It is true that we cannot take care of everyone, after all, we are not gods, but do you know the mission of our Luo Li Sect to guard this place?"
Shu Ruohang did not wait for his reply, but continued, "Do you know why the sea area with a radius of several hundred miles is so calm and waveless? You know that the sea in the south looks all the way north, and the mortals in the coastal areas can live and work in peace and contentment. , you can’t even encounter the transformed monster?”
Lin Jingzhe didn't reply. He quietly looked at the middle-aged nun with many silver threads hanging on her head, feeling lost in his heart.
Shu Ruohang's voice gradually became a little excited: "That's because our Luo Li sect is guarding here, and that's because my father is guarding here with all the disciples of the sect."
Father? Lin Jingzhe was startled. What he didn't expect was that the leader of the Luo Li Sect turned out to be the father of the middle-aged nun in front of him.
Tie Sanniang also felt a little weird, because she didn't know anything about this matter.
"Do you know that more than two hundred years ago, a collective sea monster invaded the coastal area here, and countless mortals and fishermen died tragically? Do you know why this place is called the Forgotten Realm?"
"I'm all ears." Lin Jingzhe was also a little curious as to why this place became a lost realm. "
"That was two hundred years ago, when a great deep-sea monster led tens of thousands of its tribesmen from the extreme east and west of the Nanwang Sea to invade the vast land behind the Nanwang Sea. At that time, my father was just a golden elixir. For early monks, Luoli Island at that time was not called Luoli Island, but Beili Island. Behind Beili Island was Beimang Land.
When I learned that the big demon wanted to trap all the mortals in Beimang for food, it was my father who spent a huge price to unite the casual cultivators in Beimang to fight against the big demon. It was my father who traveled thousands of miles to go there. South of Wangzhihai, he invited the forces of several of his friends to deal with the big demon.
My father was expected to become a Nascent Soul, or even a monk at the stage of becoming a god, but for the sake of the lives of millions of mortals behind him, he ruined his future and used a forbidden technique to increase his body tenfold before driving away the big demon. Sealed in the Shiwan Mountain in the far north of Beimang.
Tell me, why is he doing this? Isn’t it for tens of thousands of mortals? He even used his own body to transform the confining power of heaven and earth, and used the Nine Heavens Stars Spirit Locking Formation to confine the spiritual power of this world? What is he doing for? Is he just trying to make the South View Sea a few hundred miles around? Even if the sea monster thousands of miles away cannot become a climate, it will prevent the big tragedy from happening again. "
Lin Jingzhe paused. He didn't expect that there was such a story in this forgotten world. He also didn't expect that the Chen Xuansheng he was looking for could do such a righteous act. Why did he do this? But we are just moving forward with a heavy load.
"Why do you really think this place has been so peaceful in the past two hundred years? It's because my father has been carrying a heavy load. He is a genius. He broke through the golden elixir in just ten years. His road should be very long. He He could have had an unlimited lifespan, but for the sake of the lives of all the mortals in Beimang, he was willing to transform himself into a formation eye to guard the monsters here, in order to prevent the mortals in Beimang from becoming food for the monsters."
