When Shi Pingying saw this, her Purang Sword flew up and aimed at Tian Zhenyi's neck.
Tian Zhenyi stiffened her neck, stiffened her upper body and stepped back. With a bang, her back leaned against the wall, with nowhere to hide. She raised her hands and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "I was wrong! Spare my life!"
I don’t dare anymore!”
Lin Xiaodong had a look of disgust on his face, flicked his hand, and with a pop, the Jingtao Sword pierced the wall beside Tian Zhenyi's head.
Tian Zhenyi screamed, hugged her head and closed her eyes. After a while, she slowly tilted her head, and saw a bright cold light, and the Jingtao Sword was sticking to her face. She was so frightened that her heart beat wildly and she breathed violently.
"If you dare to come again, your life will be at risk!"
"Yes yes yes, yes yes yes!"
Tian Zhenyi got up and ran away without looking back.
Shi Defu said angrily: "Why did you find such a bastard!"
Liu Wanzhu came up and said thank you: "Brother Lin, thank you so much!"
Then he turned to Shi Pingying and said, "I didn't expect you to learn so many skills in the mountains!"
Shi Pingying sheathed the Purifying Sword, nodded and said: "Mom, our family will no longer be afraid of being bullied!"
Tian Zhenyi was scared to death and never dared to cause trouble again. At noon that day, Lin Xiaodong had a meal and in the afternoon, he took Shi Pingying back to the mountain.
At noon the next day, they returned to the mountain gate and went to the backyard to meet Taoist Linquan.
Linquan Taoist saw Shi Pingying and asked, "You went down the mountain before, but why did you come back half a month later? I'm worried, so I asked Elder Lin to go to your house and have a look."
Shi Pingying lowered her head and said: "Master, my family encountered some problems. Thanks to Senior Brother Lin, we were able to solve them smoothly."
Linquan Taoist raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaodong: "Oh?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Junior Sister Shi had an uncle who came back from the county town and robbed her family's house. He also cast a spell on Junior Sister Shi's father, causing him to become paralyzed in bed.
Junior Sister Shi only found out about this when she returned home and stayed at home to take care of her father, so she never came back."
"After the disciple went there, he found the spell caster and solved the spell. Now the junior sister's father can get out of bed.
Her uncle and aunt were also evicted, and her family moved back to their original house."
Linquan Taoist nodded and said to Shi Pingying: "If you encounter any difficulties at home in the future, just come to me. Although we cultivators pay attention to patience and self-denial, we are by no means weaklings who allow others to bully us."
Shi Pingying lowered her head and handed over her hands: "When I returned home, I wanted to resolve the matter personally, but my mother wouldn't let me.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Lin came and saw that my father had been cast under a spell, so he confronted me and solved the matter."
Taoist Linquan closed his eyes: "Well, let's go. Now that the matter is settled, we can concentrate on practicing. In the future, we will write more letters to our homes. If you are not worried, go back often to check."
Shi Pingying said yes, and she and Lin Xiaodong left the back garden and went back to their respective residences.
For the next month, Lin Xiaodong stayed at home and practiced with concentration, and his cultivation level increased again. However, thirty years of Taoism was still far behind Taoist Lanxia, and the only treasure in his hand was the cloud-chasing talisman gifted by Yu Fengjun.
It's higher, the others are all scraps eliminated by Xie Wenlun and Lin Binhai, and they really can't be put on the stage.
So that night, Lin Xiaodong went to Linquan Taoist and said, "Master, I want to go down the mountain."
Linquan Taoist asked: "What are you going to do?"
"There are many treasures in my hands, but only the Cloud Chasing Talisman has some magic power, so I want to go down the mountain to see if I can find a few more."
Taoist Linquan knew that Lin Xiaodong's growth in cultivation was related to the treasure. The Huoyun Sect had been closed recently and the mountain gate was relatively safe, so he agreed and said, "Then you go."
Lin Xiaodong resigned and led his horse down the mountain that night.
Staying overnight in a nearby town at night, Lin Xiaodong sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking to himself: "The method of water movement requires finding a land with rich water systems, so that it can be considered a good place."
"I saw it before when I memorized the Water Sutra. A few hundred miles north of Congling, there is Yunjin Lake. It is wide and vast and is called Jinhai. For water walking skills, whether it is treasure hunting or practicing, it is all
Excellent place.”
"This time when I come down from the mountain, I might as well go and have a look. It's a good time to travel. I've been reincarnated here and I haven't left Shannan Road yet. It's only a few hundred miles away, so it takes a long time to walk."
The Yunjin Lake that Lin Xiaodong wanted to go to was the place where Yu Fengjun was attacked by Taoist Lanxia. He made up his mind and rushed north early the next morning. Fortunately, he was riding a horse. Five days later, he finally arrived at the lake.
Yunjin Lake is located in the southern hinterland of the center of Dali Kingdom, with a humid and cold climate. The lake is surrounded by fog all year round, and it is endless as far as the eye can see. It is almost the same as the sea. The shore is covered with reeds. When the sun sets, the swaying grass on the lake shines, making it extremely beautiful.
Lin Xiaodong led the horse and stood in the reeds by the water. The lake was vast, the sky was high, and the setting sun was shrouded in it. He couldn't help but close his eyes and be intoxicated. Feeling the thick water floating in the air, he couldn't help but sit down on the spot and close his eyes to do the exercises.
Unconsciously, the night passed, and Lin Xiaodong woke up, only to find a big face in front of him.
Caught off guard, Lin Xiaodong was startled, exclaimed "Ah" and fell backwards, clutching his chest.
The man who was staring at him saw this, pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "I'm sorry, I scared you."
The voice was cold and echoed. Lin Xiaodong stabilized his mind, sat down again, raised his head and looked up, and found a woman opposite him.
This woman has her hair tied up in a bun with tassels on her head. She wears a pink long-sleeved shirt with a white skirt exposed at her feet. She has no makeup on her face, but she is naturally beautiful. There is no flaw on her skin.
This is nothing, what is strange is that there is a golden light as big as a basin coming from the back of her head.
Lin Xiaodong was stunned and thought: "It is normal for a Taoist to cast a spell and the back of his head shines with light. But if he does not move at ordinary times and the back of his head still shines, then it is not the manifestation of magical power, but the golden wheel of merit of the immortal, which is not trivial."
"
"However, this is the way of heaven, so it is reasonable to meet an immortal."
The woman seemed to know what Lin Xiaodong was thinking. She smiled slightly and said, "That's not how the wordless scripture that Madam Yunzhu gave you is used."
Lin Xiaodong was startled: "Empress Yunzhu?
Is this the name of that immortal?"
The woman smiled, looked up to the sky, and said, "My Majesty is compassionate and has given you a great opportunity, but she doesn't want to be involved in the cause and effect and won't tell you how to use it."
Lin Xiaodong stood up and bowed his hands in salute: "Disciple Lin Xiaodong, I have seen a fairy and dare to ask the fairy her name."
The woman smiled again: "You don't know even after I told you, I am Qiongxia Taoist from Ciqing Palace in Liantai Mountain."
"Disciple has seen the fairy."
Lin Xiaodong bowed his hands and thought, "She humbly praises her as a Taoist, but I cannot call her a Taoist."
Fairy Qiongxia nodded and said: "The living beings here are blessed but not wise. They are greedy for pleasure and do not understand life and death. Their past habits will not be changed, and the six desires and three poisons will not be eradicated.
Now that all living beings share the same fate, the evil consequences are ripe and there may be a big disaster."
"This is the way of heaven, how could it be like this?"
Lin Xiaodong asked.
"Individuals have their own cause and effect. Once you have exhausted your merits, you will fall into the world of mortals."
