Walking in the mortal world for hundreds of years!
Lin Ming experienced all the things in the mortal world, and experienced all kinds of life in the mortal world!
Jia Ren has left his reputation all over the world!
…
In the east of the bustling city, a small grocery store was quietly established. The owner of this grocery store is an ordinary-looking young man!
This young man is too ordinary!
So ordinary that after seeing him once, others can't even remember what he looks like? !
The only thing I can remember is that he kept carving wooden sculptures in his hands!
The owner of this grocery store is none other than Lin Ming, who was trained in the mortal world!
After so many years of experience in the mortal world, he has already felt the changes in his state of mind. At this stage, he no longer needs to experience all kinds of life!
What he has to do now is to stand aside and watch other people's lives, and integrate the other people's lives into his own state of mind to improve the strength of his own state of mind!
What he is carving here is a human-shaped wood carving!
Each wood carving does not have a specific human face!
He carved this wood carving very slowly, but very seriously!
The first one to be completed was a farmer bending down to farm, and the second completed wood carving was a bandit with a knife...
When other mortals look at this wood carving, they will only think that the carving is very good and will not have any other reactions. However, if a practitioner looks at it, they will immediately feel a huge charm from it.
This charm alone is enough to scare them here!
…
Lin Ming had no intention of using this grocery store to make money, it was just a place for him to experience life.
The entire grocery store also looked particularly gloomy, and not many customers would enter it.
Even if you come in and take one look, you will leave unconsciously!
The only exception is a child!
That was a urchin from the same street...
"Uncle, uncle, what are you carving?!"
"Nothing?! Carve something randomly!"
"What is this?! It's so beautiful! Can you give me one?!"
Children always make weird requests!
Lin Ming smiled slightly, looked at the other party, nodded, and said softly:
"Okay, then you pick one of these..."
"That's it!"
The child chose the wooden carving of the knife-wielding bandit.
"Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Lin Ming didn't feel bad at all. He handed the wooden sculpture to the other party and sighed softly as he watched the other party run out happily.
"Hey, I have to carve another one!"
The wood sculpture he carved here is not just a wood sculpture.
Rather, he integrated the life he experienced into it.
A woodcarving is a life!
It’s a state of mind!
Without any one of them, life is not complete!
He needs a complete life to improve his state of mind here!
He retracted his thoughts, waved his hand gently, and the grocery store closed early, while he continued to carve his wooden sculpture!
…
Day after day, year after year!
In the blink of an eye, this grocery store has existed on this street for more than ten years, and the naughty child next to it has grown into a young man!
Over the years, he had often visited Lin Ming's grocery store as a guest!
Every time after coming here, I would chat with Lin Ming for a few words!
But he was also a little strange. He had been in and out of this place for more than ten years, and he still couldn't remember Lin Ming's appearance. He even didn't know what Lin Ming's name was? !
The codename he gave Lin Ming was the uncle of the grocery store!
"Grocery store uncle, this is the rabbit I just bought today. I will give you a rabbit leg..."
After getting to know Lin Ming, he would give Lin Ming something from time to time.
Lin Ming always accepted everyone who came. He would accept whatever the other party gave him.
…
On the surface, Lin Ming had taken advantage of the other party, but the young man didn't know that before he fell asleep, Lin Ming would quietly come to him and use his spiritual power to gently help him. The I Ching cleanses the marrow here!
Lin Ming would always give him a certain reward for the things he brought to Lin Ming.
…
The young man practiced martial arts and became an escort. He spent less time in and out of grocery stores than before, and spent more time traveling around!
He has some talent above all in martial arts, and is particularly valued by the boss of the escort agency!
The boss wants to train him as his successor and marry his daughter to him!
The young man was quite happy. He and his daughter felt like old friends at first sight, and fell in love with each other again!
As he grew older, the young man became a middle-aged man and successfully took over the escort agency. The only constant habit was to go to that grocery store in the city that I couldn't remember the name of at least once a year!
Give a good meal of wine and food to the grocer who can’t remember his face, and talk about what happened during this period, the people and things he has seen...
The grocer would not reply to him as usual.
He also knew that the grocer's uncle was not mute, he was just reticent!
After so many years, he has become accustomed to the other party's attitude and this kind of life!
"Uncle, I have an important escort tomorrow and I have to go there in person. He may not be able to come back for half a month... When I come back, we can drink and eat meat again!"
"Um!"
Lin Ming nodded.
The middle-aged man was about to turn around and leave.
"etc!"
Lin Ming called him from behind.
"Xiko!"
Xizi is the middle-aged man's nickname. Lin Ming has been with him for so many years and has always called him this.
"Uncle, is there anything else?!"
"Xizi, do you still keep the wooden carving I gave you before?!"
Lin Ming asked a seemingly insignificant question.
"Here! Always here..."
Xizi took out a rope from his neck, and the wooden figure given by Lin Ming was tied to it.
"Okay, remember my words, this little wooden figure must be taken with you on this escort trip, remember?!"
"remember!"
Xizi didn't know why the grocer's uncle suddenly warned her like this this time.
"Okay, just remember this, let's go!"
"Uncle, I'm leaving!"
After Xizi left!
Lin Ming's eyes flickered for a few times, and he lowered his head again and immersed himself in the wood carving business in his hands. The reminder he just gave was because he saw a trace of gray and black from Xizi's body. Qi!
That is the smell of approaching death!
The dart this time clearly didn’t look like a good dart!
If Xizi is not careful, he may die in this escort!
And it is entirely possible that Lin Ming's wood carving can save Xizi's life here!
…
Xizi set out with the people from the escort agency. Their escort this time was also quite strange. They were escorting a man covered in black clothes to a place in the south of the Yangtze River!
The bounty is quite generous!
He had no reason to refuse!
After taking the other party into the carriage, the entire escort agency set off!
Before setting off, the man in black had already made it clear!
During the whole process, he would not leave the carriage. If anything happened, the others could only tell him outside the carriage. They only needed to safely transport him and the carriage to the designated location. Their escort trip was considered a success. !
Before the escort, he had already paid half of the reward in advance!
This person is indeed a bit weird!
But Xizi, who has been traveling in the world for many years, has seen a lot of weirdos in the world, and has no intention of exploring his behavior!
The first three days of the Escort Agency went quite smoothly!
Because the other party refused to get off the carriage, the entire escort agency also slept outdoors!
Fortunately, they are in the escort agency themselves. It is common for this industry to be exposed to the weather, and everyone has long been accustomed to life in the wild!
There is not much resistance to this kind of life.
Under such circumstances, as an escort, he felt relatively at ease.
Don't worry, don't worry, Xizi didn't miss anything in this investigation around him!
There are no less of these sentinels every day!
Choose a safe route as much as possible.
Every route is carefully chosen by him!
After so many years, he has accumulated a lot of contacts in the world, and his own martial arts is pretty good. People from all walks of life in the world will give him some money after hearing about his reputation. A little face.
This made his escort's journey in the world go extremely smoothly!
The more things went smoothly, the more Xizi felt a little uneasy this time.
He didn't know where his uneasiness came from.
Anyway, he suddenly felt a little uneasy right here.
This is his intuition.
Face your own intuition!
He said to himself:
"Be careful and you won't make a mistake!"
He somewhat slowed down the dart walking speed and started walking slowly, but the security force more than doubled here!
The people following him around were all old people, and they were all a little puzzled by his behavior.
According to normal circumstances, they have such a safe trip. At this time, they should speed up here and get there quickly.
Instead, he walked slower and slower here.
It seemed as if there was some danger waiting for them ahead, which made them a little dissatisfied.
These old people have also found Xizi many times, trying to find out from him a reason for traveling like this.
Xizi himself couldn't even explain the reason for this.
He can only tell them one thing here.
Just follow his orders.
The more Xizi walked here, the more she felt that her intuition was too strong...
