Lin Du had expected to see Lin Tuan again for a long time, but when he came to the doorstep, he felt timid.
Sending ghosts to the ground was Lin Du's unilateral effort to turn the tide without anyone's consent. It was like a child who was disobedient and only started to get scared when he thought about meeting his parents after doing something.
Lin Du regretted coming down alone. If there was danger, she could help share most of the firepower, but now she was alone.
Otherwise... let's put the blame on Wei Zhi.
Lin Du thought about it, took a deep breath, and then followed Shen Tu into the corner of the mountain.
Lin Tuan likes peach blossoms. He likes that the flowers will last forever in all seasons, and they will bloom forever and be prosperous forever.
But there is no such thing in the underworld.
But the valley seems to have gathered most of the flowers and plants that can grow in the underworld. The flowers blooming on the white bones of Yin Qi look different from the flowers in the Yang world. They are faint and reveal boundless tranquility.
"This wine is not enough, will you give me another thousand years?" A familiar female voice broke the dead silence.
Lin Du's heart started beating crazily again.
"I'm really convinced. You drank so much, what else can't you forget? I'm Po Meng! Po Meng! You know what Po Meng is!" A little girl shouted crisply, "You insulted me. Profession!"
"Didn't you say that in addition to making soup, you are also good at brewing wine? You also claim to be drunk for a thousand days, without dreams or thoughts. Didn't I just want to try it?"
"What I'm giving you is Thousand Days of Drunkness!!" The little girl said angrily, "Your lack of any reaction is the greatest insult to me."
"Then just treat me as special and give me another thousand years of drunkenness." The female voice became gentler.
The little girl stood with her arms akimbo under a locust tree, not giving in, "Drunkard!!! The last time! Next time I bring you a drink and you still drink it all and think you are too young, I will, I won't do it again." coming."
There was no wind in the valley, but the lush locust trees trembled slightly, and then a figure fell from above. The heavy purple robe followed the unique locust flowers in the underworld and fell down.
Lin Du's heart settled again at this moment.
That familiar face, a figure that had been absent for more than a thousand years, appeared completely in front of Lin Du.
Lin Tuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the mouth of the valley, and his eyes fell on the green figure that did not belong to the ghost world.
After she stood still, she looked at Lin Du carefully for a while, and then smiled, "He looks a little more like an adult now."
Lin Du suddenly turned his face and tried his best to smile playfully, "At my age in the fairy world, I am still a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything."
Lin Tuan shook his head, "I know you can always do it. You know everything and can do everything well."
Lin Du still stood there, as if in a dream, until Lin Tuan walked towards her, startling the underworld butterflies lingering on the damp ground, and they flew and circled, finally landing on the immortal's shoulders.
And Lin Du also fell into the man's warm embrace.
Time came to a standstill in the River Styx, but Lin Du kept swimming upstream. Time washed away all foreign objects on her body, but many times, the torrent could not wash away many things.
Human beings are animals that need love, but it is never limited to love. It is the care of elders and the friendship of friends.
A child who is nourished by love is the richest. She can grow and explore with confidence.
When Lin Du returned, his hands were empty and his heart was full of loss. But now, no matter where he goes, even if he has a breeze in his sleeves, he always feels extremely rich.
In the past, Lin Du thought that feelings were dispensable, and they did not detract from her pursuit and strength. However, these belated feelings were indeed precious, so precious that she was even more timid about being close to her hometown and did not dare to ask anyone.
"You have always been the most powerful kid I have ever seen."
Lin Tuan patted her back gently, "So don't be afraid, just do what you think is right."
Lin Du lowered his head, "What if I make a mistake in judgment?"
"No." Lin Tuan touched her head, "We can't generalize between what was right at the time and what was wrong later, right?"
Lin Du thought that maybe Lin Tuan knew everything.
When a person stands in front of a rushing river and looks at the dam that is about to be washed away, the decision he makes at the moment may be the right one.
But times have changed, and when the floods burst their banks, the actions taken by the predecessors were wrong.
"You have to learn to accept that it doesn't matter if you are wrong. One person's knowledge cannot be comprehensive, even if it is a god."
"Do what you thought was right at the time. You are cautious by nature, considerate in doing things, and have the greatest responsibility. I believe you. This was the most correct decision you could make at the time. Even if it is wrong in the future, you are ready to take it. ,Will suffice."
Using history as a clear guide, you will eventually become a stranger.
"You...have remembered everything, right?" Lin Du suddenly spoke.
Lin Tuan didn't explain anything, he hugged her tightly, and then he let go after a long time, and then looked into Lin Du's eyes, "I am your predecessor. Later, when people look at their predecessors, they regret it too late, but they should not regret it." It makes future generations timid."
"I can't forget those scenes, those souls trapped in the shrine, those disasters and sins of greed, those souls that I desperately tried to untie, but ended up becoming evil spirits." Lin Tuan looked at Lin Du, his voice gentle. , "I originally thought that offering sacrifices to complete the way of heaven would be my best destination."
"Lin Du, I heard that you are now the Taoist Lord of Sanyuanjiu Palace. The Floating Fan and the Dream Pen can determine a person's merits and demerits, as well as gains and losses. Why don't you let me enter too."
Lin Du was stunned for a long time, "Do you want to come in?"
"Can't you judge my merits and demerits?" Lin Tuan looked at her.
Lin Du's heart calmed down strangely. This was a good thing for both of them.
After she ascended to the upper world, she discovered that the root of everything was indeed in Houtu, the fallen angel, and the evil of all peoples. Lintuan was the reincarnation of Houtu. She had no memory at the beginning, and she had never done those things. , so Lin Du can safely and boldly tell Kaiyang that Lintuan is right, and the Dongming Realm should not be closed.
But now Lintuan is Lintuan who has all the memories of Houtu. Even if she is no longer Houtu, those memories still bother her.
Regardless of whether she is close or hostile, Lin Du should be the scale. It is her responsibility to weigh the merits and demerits of the world and punish the sins and blessings.
The moment Lin Du raised his hand, Shen Tu and Meng Po looked at the immortal at the same time.
Po Meng seemed to want to step forward to stop her, but Shen Tu stopped her and shook her head.
"Although Lin Du is polite, she is a heavenly official after all. The innate spiritual treasure in her hand controls the rules of heaven and earth and divine power. She performs the duties of a priest. It is not for you and me to interfere."
Po Meng's eyes widened, "You are the Ghost Emperor. Shouldn't the Ghost Emperor be more powerful than the Tao Lord?"
Shen Tu thought carefully and said, "If there's going to be a fight, let's go 50-50."
Po Meng's eyes widened, "Lin Du sounds good, but it doesn't mean he has no chance of winning, right?"
"Fifty percent she beat me and I lost directly, and fifty percent she ordered the gods and I lost indirectly." Shen Tu said.
Po Meng:...?
The floating fan over there has already shone brightly, and Lin Tuan's figure has disappeared.
Lin Du was sitting on the same spot, with countless underworld butterflies falling around her. She did not look at it, but looked up at the floating fan and the dream pen. The immortal power and consciousness in her body continuously sketched out Lin Tuan's life.
If Fu Sheng Fan determines that she is Lin Tu, then from now on, there will only be one ghost cultivator of Lin Tu. If she is determined to be Hou Tu, then she will bear the punishment she deserves.
Lin Tuan's life is very long.
It was so long that Meng Po was caught and taken away for leaving her post without permission. Shen Tu also felt bored. Seeing that Lin Du's immortal power was gradually decreasing, and it was difficult to walk, he could only play with the Nine Links next to her.
Shen Tu was born as an extremely smart person, but he always got stuck when playing the Nine Links.
Lin Du heard enough, took it over, and solved it after three strokes, five divided by two.
"You can't do this, it's not interesting for you, do you understand?" Shen Tu complained, "I just can't stop arranging things and keep them messy, so how else can I pass the time."
Lin Du suddenly looked at Shen Tu, stared at her for a long time, and then laughed, "You are right, I will get it back for you."
Shen Tu was unhappy again, "Forget it, you look like I'm stupid."
Lin Du smiled and stopped talking. He raised his head again and looked at the floating fan.
What was written on the fan was Lin Tuan's background. He was born in the turbulent times of the royal family. With everyone's hope, he went to Zhongzhou, hoping to find a new way out, but he was expelled from the royal family.
He was upright and kind-hearted throughout his life, eradicating evil spirits, helping the poor, managing and guiding the sect, and made countless small achievements.
However, the scene became covered with thick clouds in an instant, and among the thick clouds, the rays of light descended.
Lin Du raised his head and looked intently.
Sacrificing his body made the Heavenly Way of the Dongming Realm completely return to its original strength. Since then, the Dongming Realm has stopped the process of weakening, which is a great achievement.
But the scene was once again enveloped in thick clouds, surging into groups.
Lin Du and Shen Tu became focused at the same time.
"You want Hou Tu, and I want Lin Tu. Do you want to guess what the final result will be?" Lin Du asked.
Shen Tu put away the nine-ring ring and made a clanging sound, "I won't play charades with smart people. Let me tell you straight, the underworld needs Houtu."
Lin Du thought about it seriously, "Taiyin is a position, and so is the Emperor of Heaven. Why can't Houtu be? Of course you can ask for a Houtu. What if that Houtu is called Lintuan?"
Shen Tu was drawn in, "That could also be Lin Tuan."
As Shen Tu was drawn in, Lin Du also smiled. Seeing the lightning flashing inside, so bright that it almost broke through the fan, his expression became solemn again.
The final results gradually emerged.
Although Lin Tuan is the reincarnation of the true soul of Hou Tu, he has made one great achievement in this life and thousands of small merits, and has not made a single major mistake. However, he is willing to be tortured to find out who he is. He has not inherited his merits and virtues, so he should not suffer the hardships. Now he has broken the illusion in the illusion. , establish a ghost body and become a ghost fairy.
Shen Tu looked at the result, "She was finally willing to accept her former identity and chose to rebuild as a ghost fairy instead of becoming Lin Tuan and entering reincarnation. It seems that I won, but you didn't lose either."
"Perhaps, her essence has never been lost." Lin Du said seriously.
Lin Tuan, the essence of this true soul, concentrates the true essence of Hou Tu being believed and admired.
It is hard to say whether the power of faith of all people in the underworld ultimately preserves the former land or the hearts united for all people over the years.
Lin Tuan walked out of the illusion of floating life and received the blessing, his whole body seemed to be filled with the aura of ghosts and immortals.
A person's growth is destined to be a process of accepting oneself, knowing oneself, admitting mistakes, but still being willing to move forward.
She looked at Lin Du. Although he was in a state of embarrassment and had obviously suffered a divine calamity far beyond her own level, he smiled with relief and warmth, "It seems that I will have to call you Dao Lord from now on."
Lin Du smiled and shook his head, putting away the Fu Sheng Fan and the Dream Pen, "You will always be my uncle."
She turned to look at Shen Tu, "Do you want to come too?"
Shen Tu took a step back, "This, this, I haven't finished solving the Nine Chains yet, so I need to take a step first."
Lin Du crossed his arms and watched Shen Tu run away, shaking his head, "Maybe there will be a blessing!! Don't run away!! Come one, come one!"
Shen Tu ran faster and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Du shook his head and sighed, holding his fan and going up to the sky.
Chu Guanmeng felt that Lin Du's mood seemed a bit subtle, "Aren't you happy when you saw Lin Tuan?"
Lin Du nodded and played with the fan, "I'm so happy."
She suddenly opened the folding fan, "But you can't just be happy."
Lin Tuan taught her the last lesson today, don't give up on the right action at that time because of fear of failure in the future.
Lin Du didn't mind taking the responsibility that might be caused later.
She does not want selective justice, she wants long-lasting and permanent order, so all the acne accumulated in the past should be removed, so as not to give birth to more mildew spots, let the order rot, and finally disappear into nothing.
Lin Du now understands Wen Fu's mood, and it is precisely because of Wen Fu's existence that she is always vigilant. She cannot just rely on her own reasoning, but needs more evidence.
Now that the footprints of her predecessors have been re-opened, she should also... follow those footprints to rethink the truth of that year.
Lin Du opened the floating fan, and his spiritual consciousness sank into it, recalling the illusion of floating life facing the turbulence.
A person will never truly experience every snowfall in another person's life. All Lin Du can do is follow these footprints and barely grasp a little truth from them.
When the Po Sa Kingdom was destroyed, did Lin Tuan really not find anything at that time?
Lin Du remembered that the treasure house of the Supreme Sect was left behind for future generations by their predecessors who went out for training.
When did that red rope arrive at the treasure house?
Lin Du found the answer in Lintuan's life.
The red rope was indeed found by Lin Tuan.
She put the red rope into the sect's treasure house without any label. Even Feng Chao didn't know what the thing was, and even thought it was the spike of the spirit sword.
Did Lin Tuan really not recognize what the red rope was at that time? Lin Du doesn't think so.
If you don't know, you won't put it in the treasure house.
As early as when the Po Sa Kingdom was destroyed, Lin Tuan arrived. In the flames of war, he saw the red rope that suddenly appeared. He endured the resistance and burning of the red rope, and spent all his spiritual power at the time before he refused to surrender. The red rope was sent into the treasure house.
The red rope is waiting for a recognized owner, and Lintuan is waiting for the red rope to have a recognized owner.
Lin Du thought that, to a certain extent, Lin Tuan and Yin Huai Tian jointly pushed her down this path.
They were supposed to be opposites, but in fact they both lit up a light for future generations when they were helpless.
Lin Du followed Lin Tuan's footsteps and saw the dusty memories that had been unlocked after she entered the underworld.
In ancient times, Hou Tu governed the nine states and was the god of the Five Earths. After the ancient gods returned to their rules, Hou Tu was resurrected in response to the call of his people in disasters.
After all, it is the sentient beings who save the gods, so the gods save the sentient beings from water and fire.
Until...Three Thousand Worlds, the gods were finally overwhelmed. With limited divine power and infinite prayers, in order to facilitate the rescue, Hou Tu condensed his wish into glass beads and sent them to various worlds for rescue.
Desire breaks out, and the incense is poisonous.
Houtu was born with the Ten Thousand People's Seal and could not destroy the Ten Thousand People's Seal. Finally, countless souls whose wishes were not fulfilled but were maintained by the Ten Thousand People's Seal stayed in the shrine and became existences like "the souls of the loyal formation". Surrounded by incense, they became A man-eating demon.
Thus, the disguised picture of hell and the real pile of bones pulled down by the gods that Lin Du saw at the bottom of the sea really happened.
That was the deepest fear that Lin Tuan wanted to forget, but couldn't.
Lin Tuan became brave today because of Lin Du's appearance, and Lin Du also moved forward because of Lin Tuan's advice.
Lin Du slowly opened his eyes and used his spiritual consciousness to seal the contract with Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi responded quickly, "What's wrong?"
"I suspect that the true dragon inner elixir containing the power of Taiyin and the red rope were accurately sent to the Whirlpool Kingdom together."
The other person didn't speak for a while, and then asked, "You gave me a new inspiration. I shouldn't be looking around like this, with no direction."
"Guixu is the place where all water gathers. There are countless different currents. I may be able to find the current from the water source of Dongming Realm."
Lin Du suddenly thought of something, "Weizhi, let me give you a reference."
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Did you take the soil and water of your hometown with you when you ascended?"
Lin Du laughed, "How could that happen?"
Before Wei Zhi could react, his consciousness was pulled by Lin Du and he saw Lin Du's heart.
A glazed heart has countless lines similar to cracks, and the heart is surrounded by a faint light, which continuously delivers life, so the heart beats and blood flows.
"My heart was repaired with the true spirit of the deep sea. Can you feel the true spirit of the deep sea in the Dongming Realm?"
Wei Zhi was stunned for a long time. When Lin Du thought something had happened to him and even the contract was blocked, he finally said, "Yes, yes."
He suddenly joked, "So you are my beacon."
Lin Du clicked his tongue, "As for people, of course, whoever is free can help light up the situation. People on the same road can't all walk together in the dark."
"Lin Du, let's see where we will end up in the future." After he said that, he pulled Lin Du's consciousness and connected his five senses.
It was an endless and deep sea area, and it was even hard to tell that it was a sea, because there was no life or anything as far as the eye could see. The endless water made the entire space seem void.
"It's probably a bit cold." Lin Du commented.
"You are never afraid of the cold." Wei Zhi flicked his tail and pushed forward, bringing out some flowing arcs and wisps of silver light.
"It looks much better this way." Lin Du looked at the water waves that were as smooth as shark gauze, "It doesn't seem so bad."
"This road leads to the same destination." The silver dragon moved forward quickly, looking for the current of its homeland through the endless sea.
"It's not a disappointment." Lin Du smiled lightly.
The final step in growth is to accept death that will come long in the future.
Death is meaningless, but the end of death is one of the meanings of living hard.
"I suspect that Yin Huaitian died not because of Hou Tu, but because of the evil turmoil that happened thousands of years ago."
"Because Kaiyang said that Tiangong was afraid of Lin Tuan's ascension and would re-accept the powerful power contained in the origin of the demonic energy. But when I opened the seal that day, I found that there was only evil demonic energy in it, and there was not much power of rules."
"You said that there are so-called condensed fallen angel fragments in the cave world. Why, there are no escaped fallen angel fragments in the heaven world?"
Wei Zhi thought for a while, "Your idea is very bold, but it is the most likely cause of Yin Huaitian's death."
"In this case, it is hidden in the heaven, so you have to be careful."
Lin Du laughed and said, "Don't worry, I am the direct descendant of Dao Ancestor."
"No matter how careful you are about precious things, you will still worry again and again. Your strength does not affect my worries. This is just my worry."
Just as Lin Du was about to say something, he heard a little boy riding on a cloud of auspicious clouds fabricated by immortal power and rushing over, shouting, "Dao Lord! Dao Lord! Lingwei Dao Lord!"
She stood up, waved away the defensive restrictions she had set up, and left the mansion. She found that it was the newly brought boy from Sanyuan Mansion, "What's wrong?"
"Master Dao! A new person has ascended. This new person seems to be very powerful. Immortal Lord Xuanying asked me to call you quickly and let you grab it!"
Lin Du smiled when he heard this and said, "I seem to remember that the immortal officials promised me that when new people come, they will give it to me first. Why do I have to go and grab it myself?"
The little boy is young, but the truth is very clear, "If you don't go, they will definitely say, eh, you didn't come, they thought you didn't want it, eh, just forget it!"
Lin Du smiled and gave him a handful of jade coins, and took Chu Guanmeng down to the Holy Disciple Heaven.
Before I could settle down at the residence where I was being greeted, I heard a loud shout, "I just want to be free and happy. You can't force a happy Taoist to take care of things! You can't even play the piano at a banquet! The annual fee is five hundred thousand." It’s not okay to be assigned a place to live, I don’t deserve it…”
Before Lin Du entered the hall, the gatekeeper outside had already saluted, "Lord Lingwei!"
The immortals in the hall were silent for a moment. Before Yuan Ye could react, he saw that the immortal officials who were recording above had all dropped their pens and stood up to greet him.
Yuan Ye thought, could it be that the eldest brother, who has been successful for hundreds of years, is more powerful than the Xingjun of the Douban and Leibu?
Then he heard a familiar yet frightening voice, "Oh, what a coincidence, Mr. Kaiyang Xing, you are here too. There are so many people in Doubu, isn't it enough? You promised me, our Sanyuanjiu Mansion There is a shortage of people, so I was asked to pick first, why did you pick first?"
Yuan Ye suddenly turned around and met Lin Du's half-smiling face.
This damn familiar scornful look, who else could it be if it wasn’t my junior uncle?
The group of Xingjun saluted and smiled fakely, "I thought Daojun had gone on business and hadn't come back yet."
Lin Du stopped answering and looked at Yuan Ye, "Are we from Sanyuanjiu Mansion coming?"
Yuan Ye nodded sharply, "Okay!"
Hesitating any longer at this time would be disrespectful to the memory engraved in his bones.
Lin Du looked at the star officials with a smile, "In that case, I'll leave first. Everyone, take your leave."
Several star officers stared at each other blankly for a moment, "No...she hasn't said anything about her treatment yet! Just follow her away? Huh?"
"Isn't he a Taoist Taoist? Isn't he not doing it for many years? How kind his boss is, but he doesn't do it no matter how little work he does?"
"Neither Sanyuanjiu Mansion nor Lingwei Daojun are good places? Why compare them to us? Ah??? That's it???"
"Isn't this Lingwei Daojun really not a Gu cultivator?"
