Early the next morning, the puppet girl slowly sat up and found that Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu were still sleeping soundly.
Bai Yiyi thought in her mind: "Why do these two people sleep so late? Didn't they agree to get up early and rush on their way today?"
After waiting for a long time, Bai Yiyi finally noticed something was wrong when the two of them got up.
She found that the relationship between Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu seemed to be closer than yesterday.
"Huh?" Bai Yiyi thought to herself, "Did they do something secretly while I was asleep yesterday?"
"Did Jing Shiyu secretly give Lin Xing lessons and teach him skills, trying to become a master and a disciple?"
Thinking of this, Bai Yiyi felt that her position as master was becoming more and more in danger, but she was helpless in the face of Jing Shiyu, who was staring at her with eager eyes.
"What a shame, I'm proficient in hundreds of martial arts, but Lin Xing specializes in Taoist arts, so I can't use my abilities now..."
"For today's plan, I still need to master the puppet as soon as possible and obtain more powerful power, so that my fate can be determined by my will."
The various thoughts in Bai Yiyi's mind were naturally not perceived by Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu.
The two rode side by side and continued towards their destination. Along the way, Jing Shiyu was like a teacher, answering Lin Xing's questions and helping him better understand the general trend of the world today, and the various factions...
"Oh? Do you also know about the second inheritance and the third inheritance?"
"Shilin Temple does have a third lineage called 'Guru'. Legend has it that Kong'e, a generation of divine monks thirty years ago, had mastered this lineage."
"But legends are just legends. The divine monk Konge has not left Shilin Temple for many years. Whether he has mastered the third inheritance, and even whether he is alive or dead is already a mystery in the world."
Bai Yiyi, who was eavesdropping on the side, nodded secretly: "So that's it."
…
Two days flew by.
Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu came to a valley.
Looking at the valley filled with white mist, Jing Shiyu said: "This is it. The master I mentioned lives in seclusion in this valley."
Looking at the vast white area, Lin Xing said: "The fog is so thick, how can we get in?"
Jing Shiyu said: "Have you forgotten the spiritual vision I taught you before? As long as you use my Taoist detection skills, these thick fogs will be nothing."
"But you haven't learned spiritual vision yet, and you don't have any heavenly or magical eyes. This time, I will take you in."
Then he saw Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu tying their horses aside.
"Hold my hand." Jing Shiyu stretched out his hand, grabbed Lin Xing and walked forward.
Lin Xing turned to look at the puppet girl: "Hold my hand."
The puppet girl raised her hand stiffly and followed Lin Xing in, holding the cat doll tightly with her other hand.
Lin Xing felt waves of spiritual thoughts pouring out from Jing Shiyu's body. Her eyes were glowing with green light, as if she could see through the fog, leading them around the valley. .
After about half an hour, the fog gradually dissipated, and an idyllic village with bright sunshine, green mountains and green waters appeared in front of them.
Lin Xing was surprised: "There is actually a village here?"
Jing Shiyu nodded and said: "Originally, in order to live in seclusion without being disturbed, this expert not only found such a remote valley, but also set up a maze outside, just so that he could escape the troubled times and live a more comfortable life here alone. Happy days.”
"It's a pity that this person has been accustomed to fine clothes and fine food since he was a child. He found that he couldn't survive alone in this valley for a few days."
"So he rescued a group of refugees and took them to work in the valley, where men farmed and women weaved. From then on, he no longer had to work every day. All the dirty work was handed over to the villagers, so that he could I can live a happy life here with enough food to eat..."
As a group of three people entered the village, the refugees were very nervous and scared at first when they saw the three people suddenly appearing.
But after they saw Jing Shiyu, they all relaxed again and even took the initiative to say hello to Jing Shiyu.
Lin Xing asked curiously: "Do they all know you?"
Jing Shiyu nodded and said, "I also helped this master and rescued these refugees together with him, so they know me."
The three of them moved forward and arrived at a courtyard at the very back of the village.
From a long distance, Lin Xing saw a middle-aged man lying on the roof, basking in the sun and sleeping soundly. The sound of gurgling coming from his body was like thunder, shaking everyone around him. The tiles also shook slightly.
"Senior, long time no see."
As Jing Shiyu's voice came out, the middle-aged man who was still sleeping immediately opened his eyes and fell from the roof in a flash.
Then he saw his feet walking in strange steps, bringing up a series of afterimages, and walked gracefully in front of Jing Shiyu.
Only then did Lin Xing really see the other person's appearance. He was a man with a slender figure, gray hair on his temples, and eyes as bright as stars.
If Lin Xing can be summed up in his own words, he is a handsome middle-aged man.
Even though he looks slovenly, he exudes a unique charm in every move he makes.
"Shiyu, why did you think of coming to see me?"
The middle-aged man looked at Jing Shiyu with a smile, his tone revealing kindness.
He then glanced at Lin Xing again, frowned and said, "Who is this kid?"
Jing Shiyu said: "He is the apprentice I like."
"Oh, apprentice." The middle-aged man laughed, and his eyes became kind when looking at Lin Xing. He took Lin Xing's arm and began to greet him.
Lin Xing was a little confused about the relationship between the other party and Jing Shiyu. He looked at Jing Shiyu doubtfully and asked, "Who is he?"
The middle-aged man said kindly, "I am Shiyu's father, just call me uncle."
Jing Shiyu said helplessly: "When I met this person, he was seriously injured. After I rescued him, he insisted that I was his daughter."
The middle-aged man on the side had no reaction, as if he couldn't hear what Jing Shiyu said.
Jing Shiyu shook his head and said: "There is something wrong with his mind. Every time someone tells me that I am not his daughter, he doesn't hear it."
The middle-aged man looked at the puppet girl again and asked, "What about this one?"
Lin Xing said: "This is my friend."
After saying hello, the middle-aged man pulled Jing Shiyu and Lin Xing into the small courtyard and laughed loudly: "Daughter-in-law! Look who's back!"
"Shishu, your sister is back."
"Shiyu, look at your brother, has he grown much taller than last time you came back?"
"Come, come, let's eat together and let your mother cook some good dishes for you."
"Daughter-in-law, look, this is Shiyu's new apprentice. Is he a talented person?"
The middle-aged man patted Lin Xing on the shoulder and said, "Haha, they are exhausted from staying in the village every day. They don't like to talk much these days. Don't be surprised."
Lin Xing looked at a few empty chairs and looked at Jing Shiyu in confusion.
Jing Shiyu shrugged helplessly: "I told him that he was sick and would fantasize about his family."
The middle-aged man's expression changed and he said unhappily: "Shiyu, why do you say such things again? Why don't your mother and brother sit here upright? Why do you pretend not to see it again?"
