The two returned to the mine.
Regarding Li Qingyang, after revealing his feelings, if Lin Yuqin said that there was no disturbance in his heart, it would be a lie.
He is willing to die for her. He likes Lin Yuqin even more than he loves himself. He has been attracted to her since he was a child, and the goodwill accumulated with age is like a jar of wine buried for many years. As it becomes more and more mellow, it naturally becomes more and more valuable.
By the time the wine jar was unsealed, there was already so much love and affection that no one could afford the same price. No one else could possibly be able to withstand it.
However, Lin Yuqin knew her own heart better.
Ever since she first met Chen Mo in Huamian Tower, her quiet emotional world and regular cultivation life were gone forever. Soon, as the two met more and more often, Lin Yuqin practiced, flew, and even before sleeping, Chen Mo, a taciturn man like his name, with an ordinary appearance and a thin figure, was always beside her. It lingers in my mind.
Scenes of her acquaintance were like memories that kept reappearing before Lin Yuqin's eyes: his cautious appearance, his attitude of carefully deducing the direction of things, his courage to face a powerful enemy risklessly for her... Sometimes, Lin Yuqin would giggle involuntarily when she thought of something. Sometimes, she would be ashamed of his slowness and incomprehension and feel secretly sad in her heart: "He is so smart, he must know what I am thinking... Damn Chen Mo, Just playing hard to get!" When she was alone in a room, Lin Yuqin's cheeks felt hot when she thought of him: "Damn man, I don't want to deal with him anymore!" She had considered this more than once, but whenever she saw him Always alone, whether practicing or taking risks, she couldn't help but think with compassion: "That's right. Who else in this world would be so stupid to like him besides me?"
It is impossible for a normal monk to live without the companionship of a Taoist companion. If Lin Yuqin had to make a choice now, at least Chen Mo would be willing to do so.
When she was with him, Lin Yuqin didn't feel any restraint. Instead, she was as kind and natural as a family member. The most important thing was that Chen Mo would not put as much mental pressure on her as Li Qingyang did.
"What should Li Qingyang do?"
Lin Yuqin could no longer tolerate the second man in her heart. She felt that she should be more selfish: "He likes his, and I like mine. Do I have to give myself to him to compensate for his efforts? This world is not like If you put in the effort, there will be results.”
Although she thought so, she still felt that she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. Forget it, just take it one step at a time. Maybe time can forget everything, right?
Li Qingyang was also flying ahead, but he didn't have the thoughts of women like Lin Yuqin. The mine was close at hand, but for some reason, he smelled a sense of danger.
In mid-air in the snowy mountains, the two saw that the green light curtain of the mine had completely melted away, and the ground was filled with a desolate battlefield composed of gray and blood. Around the mine, the world seemed to be reversed. A giant sand dune more than twenty feet protruded from the ground. Only a few hours after they left, the appearance of the mine had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Something happened! Hurry!!!"
The veins on Li Qingyang's forehead jumped sharply. Lin Yuqin also exclaimed when he saw this situation. The two quickly fell into the mine, where the corpses of ice beasts and Lin family members were everywhere.
The broken limbs and broken arms, as well as a lot of broken flesh and bones, made Lin Yuqin's body tremble constantly: "Who did this!! Who did this?!" She clenched her fists, and the nerves on her face Also accompanied by violent mood swings.
"......how so?!"
Li Qingyang frowned. He did not explore the surrounding area too much, turned around and came to the mine. After a while, three disgraced Lin family monks followed him out.
Lin Yuqin hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Where is your fourth master? Where is he!"
"Fourth Master...is dead!!" "Many of our clan members are also dead!" Another man said out of breath with a cry in his voice.
Lin Yuqin suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and she almost fainted because her center of gravity was unsteady. Li Qingyang hurriedly supported her: "Sister! Sister!! Stay calm!"
"Are you the only ones left now?" Li Qingyang could still maintain his only calmness. He immediately asked. These few people only have the eleventh level of Qi refining and can survive in this situation. It's quite a miracle.
One person said intermittently: "There are still more than ten people from the Lin family. Except for the miners who are resting in the house, everyone else is fine. Brother Xiang told us to stay and wait for the family's support. They and the miners have been moved to a safe place." The place!”
Li Qingyang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This was a blessing among misfortunes. He left one person behind to ask about what happened. He couldn't stay here for long, and then ordered them to quickly join the others. The two of them arrived soon after.
"First, ice beasts attacked the mine, and then a demon cultivator appeared and slaughtered all the clan members guarding the mine... As for why she didn't kill the remaining people, we don't know."
Li Qingyang put the matter together and combined it with his own analysis and said: "The two people who killed us should be the same group of demon cultivators who looted the mine. I guess the fourth uncle may have activated some hidden killing move in the end. , this changed the appearance of the mine. The demon cultivator should have died under this powerful killer move, or escaped with serious injuries."
Lin Yuqin, who had been silent for a long time, looked up at him and then at the raised sand dunes, without speaking.
"This battle should end soon. There is still the lingering power of spiritual power fluctuations in the world. I can feel the power of this killer move, at least a full blow in the middle stage of foundation building. If there is such a powerful enemy, the two of us will also I definitely won’t survive now.”
"All dead..."
Lin Yuqin murmured in despair. It was not that she had never seen dead people before. It was just that they were fine one moment, but not long after, the yin and yang were separated. She couldn't help but feel a trance and illusion.
"Let's go first and send the miners away. Then we will report this matter to the clan and see how they solve it... Let's go, sister!"
The wind and snow in the Snowy Mountains are still biting, and this world will never have the chance to thaw. On the land where the sun cannot shine, the mourning grass has grown for tens of thousands of years, and it still witnesses the vastness of the snow-capped mountains.
.......
Returning to the Lin family, Li Qingyang took on everything, including explaining the mine to the clan, as well as handling the death of the Lin family monks and the aftermath.
Now that someone came forward, no one in the family came to trouble Lin Yuqin anymore. It took her three days to adjust in her room before she stabilized her mood.
The first thing she did when she went out was to apologize to Chen Mo. She knew his character well and hated unprovoked temptations most in her life. Even if he scolded her, Lin Yuqin was ready to admit his mistake.
Lin Yuqin came to Chen Mo's previous residence and knocked on the door but no one responded: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen! Are you there?" She called for a long time, but no one answered.
Although she had an ominous premonition in her heart, she still had a hopeful guess: He might have gone to a nearby town to collect supplies.
Walking out of the guest room disappointed, Lin Yuqin was met by her father Lin Xiao: "Yuqin, why are you here?" "I came to see him." Lin Yuqin quickly asked: "Dad, have you seen my senior brother?"
Lin Xiao frowned at first, then suddenly sneered and waved his hand: "Please follow me to see your grandpa first, and it won't be too late to mention this later."
Lin Yuqin was confused as to why her father was sneering, but this was not the time to ask, so she had no choice but to agree and go with her father.
The main hall is not far from the guest room, and it didn't take long to reach it.
Lin Bin was sitting in the main seat at the moment: "Grandpa." Lin Yuqin took the lead in bowing, and then called out to his elders.
"Yuqin... I have heard about what happened to you in the snow mountain. If I had known this, I would never have let you take such a big risk."
"Thanks to Qingyang's care along the way. Without him, it would be really dangerous in the snowy mountains." Lin Yuqin answered truthfully.
Lin Bin said: "This child Qingyang is reassuring, but Grandpa is puzzled by this matter. Why didn't your senior brother take action? Could it be that he has been standing by and watching?"
"What...Senior Brother?!"
Lin Yuqin was shocked: "Chen Mo? He's not here!!"
"Not coming?" Lin Bin's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "He asked your father for a map of the Snowy Mountains. Did he really not go?"
"Dad, we were all fooled by this kid!" Lin Xiao sneered, looked at Lin Yuqin, and shook his head helplessly.
That look seems to say, look, this is the person you like, this is the person you care about, the person you choose.
When Lin Yuqin heard this, her face immediately turned pale. Yes, she and her family had thought that Chen Mo was just a delaying tactic.
In fact, Chen Mo has already left the Lin family.
When she thought of Chen Mo flying away, Lin Yuqin felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, which made her almost unable to breathe in pain: He will hate me to death! He will hate me to death! ! !
"Why are you so stupid, you have to test him!"
Regret spread rapidly in her heart, which made Lin Yuqin almost unsteady. She took a few steps back, held on to the handle of the chair, and shouted angrily at Lin Bin: "It's all your fault! It's you! ! You were the one who promised me it would be okay!!!"
Lin Bin was pointed at by his granddaughter, and his expression finally changed slightly, while Lin Xiao's expression changed drastically. He was astonished beyond measure. One day, his own biological daughter dared to go to the police, despite her own filial piety. Getting angry at his elders! !
He immediately stood up and shouted: "Lin Yuqin!! What are you doing?! Are you thinking against the will of heaven!"
Lin Bin waved his hand at this time: "My dear granddaughter, grandpa will not harm you. Facts have proved to you that your senior brother does not want to bend down for you, nor is he willing to suffer a little grievance for you. Could it be that grandpa Is that wrong?"
"He is a person who only loves himself. No matter how much you give, you can't get him to treat you well. Listen to grandpa's advice and let it go."
Lin Yuqin couldn't help crying. She fell weakly on the chair. The facts Lin Bin said were like sharp knives piercing her fragile heart. Yes, grandpa was right. Chen Mo was indeed such a person. She also knew that it was the best choice to forget each other now, but why couldn't she stop crying?
Only then did she realize that she liked him so much that she couldn't help herself. The moment she learned that he had left, she felt as if she had been thrown heavily to the ground and was torn apart. What should she do? What should she do? Find him and explain it clearly, yes! This should be done, this should be done!
Lin Yuqin thought like this. She didn't know where she got the strength. She stood up from the chair and declared to Lin Bin: "I'm going to find him! I want to make it clear to him that he misunderstood!"
After saying that, Lin Yuqin turned around and left. Lin Xiao didn't wait for Lin Bin to say anything. He couldn't stand it anymore and cursed: "Lin Yuqin!! You traitor, kneel down!!!"
Lin Yuqin suddenly looked back, and Lin Xiao realized that his daughter's eyes were red. He felt a little bit unbearable in his heart, but for the sake of her lifelong happiness, Lin Xiao was still determined and repeated stiffly: "Kneel down! "
Lin Yuqin looked at her father who was about to choose someone to devour. In her memory, her father had never been so angry. But now she couldn't give in. She just glanced at her with heartache. Then, her knees gradually moved toward the two of them. Kneel down.
"Grandpa! My granddaughter is unfilial!"
With a bang, Lin Yuqin's head hit the ground hard.
"Dad! My daughter is unfilial!"
There was another sound of kowtow, and Lin Xiao was so angry that she almost fainted: after kowtowing twice, Lin Yuqin turned around and was about to leave. It seemed that she was still determined to find the ruthless senior brother who abandoned him.
Lin Xiao shouted with all his strength: "Lin Yuqin!!! If you dare to cross this threshold today, never come back again! I am not an unfilial daughter like you!!!"
Lin Yuqin, who was choking, just paused for a breath, and then stepped out without hesitation, "Reverse! Rebellion! Rebellion!!" Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly darkened, and he fainted from anger.
"Your father has passed out!" Lin Bin said in a distant voice. He just said a few words and had no intention of catching her back.
He could capture her people, but he couldn't capture her heart. He might as well let her go. Anyway, he had made the blemishes on his feet by himself. Lin Bin could not persuade his granddaughter at this moment.
Lin Yuqin, who used to be weak in the past, was like a bastard who was so determined that he could give up even if his own father fainted. Lin Bin looked up to the sky and sighed, without saying another word, he watched Lin Yuqin leave the family. .
After burning incense, Lin Yuqin's two uncles, Li Qingyang, and Lin Yuqin's mother came to the main hall. Lin Xiao had already woken up. Facing Lin's mother's inquiry, he just kept repeating the bad fate excitedly. Damn it, I won’t say anything anymore.
"Qingyang." Lin Bin said: "Logically speaking, this matter is a family scandal, and the family scandal should not be made public. But since I let you know today, I have no intention of treating you as an outsider."
"Junior understands." Li Qingyang said respectfully.
"Yuqin ran away from home. Why? You should know in your heart that we don't want to get involved in the affairs of you young people. Do you know what to do?"
Li Qingyang was shocked. He had already given up. The promise of the old man of the Lin family was like rekindling a pile of firewood in a place that had turned to ashes. Does this mean...
He immediately replied: "I will protect my sister and never let her suffer any bullying or grievance!"
"Good boy, go ahead. If you have nothing to do, you'd better leave now. Don't leave Yuqin alone outside. It's very dangerous."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Li Qingyang quickly withdrew. After he left, Mother Lin and others continued to enlighten Lin Xiao in a few words: What kind of girl can't stay? If she stays, she will become a enemy. Since she is not a child anymore, I think Just do whatever you want.
As the head of the family, Lin Bin could not see his son being so sad, so he also offered words of comfort:
"Son, misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and misfortune lies on the back of blessing. This matter is not necessarily bad. It is just a stone. Keep it in the pit of your heart and cover it. Sooner or later, it will get hot, right?"
"......can you?"
Lin Xiao heard this and said something difficult.
