It wasn't until he walked out of Luo Ze that the smile on Lin Du's face slowly faded.
It turns out that looking back, this journey has been such a long one.
Yan Ye didn't have a good attitude toward her at the beginning because he was afraid of raising a disciple who would die sooner or later. Lin Du didn't want to treat Yan Ye as a close elder at the beginning, but just as an ordinary teacher.
To a certain extent, Lin Du was also afraid of getting close and leaving.
It turns out that someone had already carved an indelible mark on her growth path.
Chu Guanmeng emerged from her sleeves, "I said, you won't let me eat the koi, and you won't let me eat the dragon. I finally came back, so you can let me eat something delicious."
Lin Du remained motionless, "I'm busy studying and preparing for the formation competition. You are a mature spirit now. It's time to turn into a human and go down the mountain with the mine to find food for yourself."
Chu Guanmeng:...
The white dumpling bit her hard on the back of her hand, then turned around to sunbathe in the moonlight on the glazed tiles of the library.
Lin Du entered the library, took out the formation books that had been built into a low wall, and began to chew on them.
There is still half of the book Yan Ye arranged for her last time.
It took five years to finish it and three years to design the competition formation, just right.
Winter and summer alternate, and the stars change, but the people at the window of the library never change.
This day Han Yueling put down the ink stick that was shorter than her own, "Let me tell you, aren't you bored if you do this every day?"
"no."
Chu Guanmeng didn't understand, "Just for what, the formation master competition? What's so good about the name of this formation leader? Will he give you something to eat?"
Lin Du knew what Chu Guanmeng was going to say, "Yes, yes, here it is. The leader of the formation has listed 500,000 high-grade spiritual stones for the first formation design, which is enough for you to eat many meals."
The most important thing is that before Yan Ye ascends, she must earn back this inherited reputation for him.
Chu Guanmeng shut up and said, "Forget it, I'll grind the ink for you."
When Lin Du handed in his homework and books for the last time, Yan Ye was shocked to realize that Lin Du had spent more than ten years reading all the useful but not mainstream formation books he had accumulated in his life.
"Is this the end?"
"Ang, it's over." Lin Du used his spiritual power to push around a thick "wall", "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Yan Ye began to search among his dozens of storage bags and storage rings. There must be more, otherwise he would be a bit too shameless.
When he struggled to dig out a few more moldy and brittle books, Lin Du crossed his arms and said, "I'm not a master, so don't try to stuff me with any mess."
Yan Ye took a deep breath and said, "Yes, the library. Have you read the formation books in the library?"
Lin Du thought for a moment and said, "I haven't finished reading yet."
Yan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "I've finished reading it all."
"But I've seen a lot of Buddhist formations."
…
Yan Ye pointed to the Luoze exit and said, "Get out."
Lin Duma left the book behind and left.
"Take the book with you too. I've memorized it all, so there's no need to take it with me."
Lin Du whirled, "My manuscript has been compiled, and it is more pleasing to the eye than those tattered books of yours."
Yan Ye's consciousness fell on those tattered books, which had pages scattered and half torn. But they were all original manuscripts by famous writers, and there were many unearthed from ancient tombs. Isn't it normal for them to be tattered?
Lin Du took the things away in a flash before he could curse.
After the others left, Yan Ye stood up.
Anyway, ascension is imminent, so meditating and practicing is not necessary.
He walked out of Luoze and went straight to the area that Lin Du had circled after he came back.
The floating light is golden, the koi fish are swimming, and a silver dragon is quietly entrenched below.
"I'm going to ascend soon, what about you?" He said coldly.
The silver dragon opened his eyes, and the koi fish curled up into a corner for an instant.
Wei Zhi surfaced, only a pair of eyes exposed, "I just woke up, and I am indeed the one who wants to ascend. Even the restriction cannot block your consciousness."
"Today at the beginning of spring, I heard a sound of thunder. The sound was longer than usual and it was very noisy." Yan Ye estimated Wei Zhi's current cultivation level and said, "You can ascend at any time."
"It doesn't count." Wei Zhi did not transform, but just raised the dragon's head, "This inner elixir has not been fully internalized."
Reincarnation through the inner elixir of a true dragon does not mean that he is really a true dragon.
If it were a real dragon, it wouldn't still be in the Dongming Realm.
Yan Ye frowned slightly when he heard this, "Did Lin Du save you? In the formation diagram she gave me, there was a Nirvana formation mixed with Buddhist Taoism, which is related to the rebirth of dragons."
"Yes." Wei Zhi nodded and admitted decisively without revealing their deal.
"I'm going to ascend soon. If you don't ascend for the time being, for Lin Du's sake, do me a favor." Yan Ye frowned, "That bastard Lin Du has a lot of obsessions in her heart. I can only teach her how to survive." You can't teach her to leave, but you can't teach her to say goodbye. You are from Buddhism, so you can always find a way."
"It's just that I was a Buddhist before." The silver dragon's vertical pupils showed pure animal nature, "I am a demon now."
Before Yan Ye could get bored and leave, he continued, "Okay."
Yan Ye stood still again and listened to Wei Zhi's words.
"But she is more mature than you think. Even if you don't accept it, you will accept it. She knows everything, but she will always do her best before anything happens."
Yan Ye chuckled softly when he heard this, "Forget it, she is troublesome and troublesome anyway, I don't want to take care of it. If something happens to her..."
"No." Wei Zhi shook his head, "She will save herself."
Although Lin Du didn't say it directly, he could feel that maybe Lin Du had a secret, a secret that could come back just like him.
How can someone who dares to start over from scratch give up so easily?
Yan Ye folded his hands and said, "You can't even cross by yourself, let alone Lin Du."
Wei Zhi blinked slowly, "If you want to express your concern, you don't need to use such an awkward method. She saved my life, and I will try my best to protect her. You want this promise from me, and I agree."
One person and one dragon looked at each other for a moment, then Yan Ye rolled up his sleeves and turned around, "Whatever, I'm just going to see where she caught such a big loach."
Wei Zhi: ...He seems to know who Lin Du later learned his venom from.
"That day, I once saw the death of the entire sect in the mirror of the God's Tomb, and the future of the destruction of the Mingming Realm. But I found that the higher my cultivation level, the deeper the shackles, and sometimes I even cannot intervene."
"Heaven is rejecting you." Wei Zhi looked thoughtfully at Yan Ye's back, "Is it okay if you tell me that?"
This time it was Yan Ye's turn to feel that Wei Zhi was pretending, "Why do you think I told you instead of my apprentice? It's not because you are the body of a real dragon, without any shackles, and you can endure it."
Lin Du's life is not enough to shorten his life if he catches a glimpse of destiny.
"After all, you only live once, cherish your life." Wei Zhi sank to the bottom of the water, "When you say farewell, don't you mean Lin Tuan?"
Yan Ye lowered his head, looked at the water drops slowly falling on his robe, and swallowed his anger, "Who knows, after all, everyone is not dead now, and the Dongming Realm is not over."
Destiny will change, but he can't see the people close to him.
"I'm just afraid that after I leave, someone will come down from above and no one will be able to deal with it."
Wei Zhi emerged from the water again, looking straight at the opposite side with his beast eyes. Yan Ye raised his hand and wiped his face. Does this dragon have any idea about its size? Why on earth is it squatting in this small pool!
"People in the Thirty-third Heaven are also restricted, and they are not allowed to interfere in the operation of the small world, right?"
"Under special circumstances, there is no gap to exploit. The descending of the incarnation may have something to do with the origin of the demonic energy." Yan Ye frowned, "I can't say for sure, because the future I saw in the mirror before was there, but in this life... …”
"You have all been changed by Lin Du. There are too many unknowns, but your cultivation can no longer stay, so you came to ask me for help." Wei Zhi thought seriously, and when he saw someone about to leave, he quickly stopped him, "Hey, Lend me some clothes."
Yan Ye was shocked, "Don't you take your dragon form without clothes?"
Wei Zhi coughed and said, "I haven't shed my skin, and there is nothing to turn into clothes."
He was more accustomed to the human body. He was awakened by the spring thunder and subconsciously wanted to come out, but found that the storage ring had been given to Lin Du and he had nothing.
Yan Ye clicked his tongue, pulled off an old piece of clothing and threw it away, "Let's go, don't forget what you said."
After Wei Zhi and others left, he jumped out of the pond and put on his clothes with one hand.
It's okay, but the sleeves are just an inch too short.
As soon as he put on his clothes, a lazy voice came from the tree, "Thank you for dealing with my worried old father."
Wei Zhi froze and began to wonder if Lin Du's realm was too high. The two of them, who could ascend at any time, didn't notice Lin Du.
"Don't underestimate our spirit bodies." Chu Guanmeng also jumped out, "No one can break our rules and restrictions."
"But," Chu Guanmeng looked suspiciously at the silver-haired short-haired humanoid species standing by the pool, "Who are you? Where is the monk? Are you eating me?"
Lin Du grabbed Chu Guanmeng and jumped off the tree, "Look, people can turn into humans, why do you have to pretend to be a dumpling?"
Chu Guanmeng firmly refused, "I don't! You people are really annoying, I just like being a hairball!!"
"Okay, okay, just be a hairball, be a hairball." Lin Du looked down at the tiger's mouth with another tooth mark and sighed.
Wei Zhi felt something was wrong, "Did you hear that just now?"
Lin Du crossed his arms and gritted his teeth, "No, this piece of shit Tiandao has blocked it."
She asked why she came to the top from the underworld, but she didn't remember any of the information on Lai Tuan's page.
"Rule protection." Wei Zhi felt relieved.
Under the sun, his silver hair was blown by the breeze. It was not long and scattered in front of his forehead, looking like downy hair. He raised his head and looked at the blue sky above his head.
"Hey, monk! Do you have anything to eat? You've finished the wine!" Chu Guanmeng jumped up and slapped the newly born dragon's face.
Lin Du raised his hand and pressed his temples, "I have something to ask you about, and it has something to do with Lintuan."
Wei Zhi casually grabbed Han Yueling and turned to look at her. The sunlight could not shine into her eyes, only the heavy mist and heavy snowfall.
