Lu Zhu pointed to the open space next to her house and said, "Brother Lin, just build your house here. It would be great for our two families to be neighbors."
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "I am a Qingxiu person and like to be quiet. I cannot live with you."
"Then where are you going to build your house?"
Shi Chong asked.
Lin Xiaodong pointed to the mountain: "I will move Lan Ruo here and be her neighbor."
"Brother Lin..." Luzhu's eyes dimmed.
Princess Xiyun also lowered her head.
Shi Chong shook his head: "Brother Lin, how can people live in a cemetery when Yin and Yang are separated?"
Xu Suyun lowered his head and blinked, and said: "The mountain is a cemetery and no one can live there. If you live on the mountain, where will we old people be buried in the future?"
Lin Xiaodong thought for a while, pointed to the foot of the mountain opposite, and said: "Then build it at the foot of the mountain, on the opposite side of the road into the village!"
Everyone looked down the mountain. There was an open space in front of the mountain, backed by a hill. The hills were covered with flowers. Across the dirt road was Shi Chong's house. It was quiet and not remote.
"The front of the mountain is pretty good. It's a single-family house. It's a little quieter. Fortunately, it's just across the road from the village."
Green Pearl Road.
Everyone thought it was okay. Lin Xiaodong said to Cai Zeyang: "Then just build a thatched house here. It doesn't need to be too good. I guess I will rarely live here once it is built."
"Are you leaving?"
Lu Zhu asked reluctantly.
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Well, there are still a lot of things to do."
Cai Zeyang arranged for someone to build a house for Lin Xiaodong, and Lin Xiaodong was preparing to leave to move Lan Ruo's grave.
"I'll go with you."
Princess Xiyun walked up.
"I want to go too."
Luzhu also said.
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "Just ask Shi Chong and the others to come with me. You two can't work even if you go there."
"I also want to see Lan Ruo."
Princess Xiyun's eyes were lonely.
"Then let's set off."
A group of people went to the city to rent a carriage and came to Lan Ruo's grave.
The paper ashes that Lin Xiaodong burned last time are still there.
"Have you been here before?"
Princess Xiyun asked.
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "I came to see Shi Chong and others passing by."
Princess Xiyun nodded, looking at the small tomb, Lan Ruo's voice and smile, and the words she had quarreled with were still lingering in her mind.
"Brother Lin."
Seeing Lin Xiaodong lost in thought, Lu Zhu came up and took his arm.
Lin Xiaodong came back to his senses, looked at Lu Zhu's hand, broke away slightly, and said: "Lan Ruo, I will move you to the seaside and become my neighbor. I will also bury Cai Cai next to you to keep you company."
Shi Chong and others dug the grave together. It was meant for cremation, and only a handful of loess was left. They loaded it on a car and transported it back to Chong'an Village, where they were buried again on the hillside.
The cemetery in Chong'an Village welcomed its first new grave.
Lu Zhu's eyes turned red, and she knelt down to burn paper for Lan Ruo: "Sister, I've never seen you, but I wish you all the best over there."
Shi Chong said to Lin Xiaodong: "Brother Lin, tell us her story."
Lin Xiaodong nodded, remained silent for a long time, and said: "She is a killer trained by Wan Fangzhai. She approached me to kill me and Caicai.
She betrayed me and caused me to be besieged by Wan Fangzhai, but in the end she saved me.
But she herself was poisoned by Wan Fangzhai and died at the hands of a man named Long Yue."
Princess Xiyun gritted her teeth and said with hatred: "This Long Yue has been quartered by Lin Xiaodong's five horses."
Lin Xiaodong lowered his head, took out the Zhou Tianding, and said: "This, called Cai Cai, is a spiritual beast. He also died in the hands of Long Yue, and he also died to save me."
Shi Chong and others remained silent and piled a new grave.
A few days later, Lin Xiaodong's new house was built. It has two thatched houses, surrounded by a wooden fence half a person's height. The windows are bright and clear, with yellow flowers and green grass. In front of it is a small fishing village and the sea, and behind it are hills full of yellow flowers. On the hills
, two new graves stand quietly.
After moving into the new house, Lin Xiaodong invited the whole village to have dinner together, and the princess also stayed at Shi Chong's house.
After dinner, everyone dispersed, leaving only Luzhu and Princess Xiyun to help clear away the dishes. Lin Xiaodong sat on a chair in front of the window, lost in thought.
"What are your plans next?"
Princess Xiyun wiped her hands and sat down next to Lin Xiaodong.
"Lan Ruo's death is inseparable from Wan Fang Zhai. There are many involuntary killers like Lan Ruo in Wan Fang Zhai. They are all innocent.
I want to go back to Qianshui City and completely eradicate Wanfangzhai."
Lin Xiaodong's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Just you?"
Princess Xiyun asked.
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Now that my skills have greatly increased, even if I am alone, I may not have no chance of winning against Wan Fangzhai."
"But as you said, Wan Fangzhai doesn't know how many killers there are. Because of the poison in his body, he has no choice but to work for Wan Fangzhai. If you deal with Wan Fangzhai, all of them, whether they were forced or not, will die in the end.
.”
Princess Xiyun analyzed.
Lin Xiaodong nodded slightly: "I don't know if there is any way to deal with such a poison."
Princess Xiyun stood up: "I'm leaving tomorrow. It's been some time since I left the palace. If I don't go back, my father will be worried again."
"You have to leave."
Lin Xiaodong also stood up, feeling a little reluctant.
Luzhu hurriedly came over: "Sister, you have to leave!"
Princess Xiyun smiled at Luzhu: "Well, do you want to come to the palace with me to play?"
Lu Zhu shook her head: "I'm...a little scared, so I won't go."
Princess Xiyun nodded and said to Lin Xiaodong: "Don't be anxious about dealing with Wan Fangzhai. Wait until I return to the palace and ask the great mage in the palace. Maybe they have a way to break the poison. I will come back when there is news.
I’m looking for you, and then I’ll attack Wan Fangzhai.”
Lin Xiaodong agreed: "Well, it just so happens that I also need time to refine the treasure to deal with Wanfangzhai."
The next day, Princess Xiyun returned to the imperial city. In the next few days, Lin Xiaodong was meditating and practicing. Lu Zhu would come over if he had anything to do. However, Lin Xiaodong spent most of the time sitting cross-legged and meditating like a stone. Lu Zhu found it boring. Later,
He won't come either.
Chong'an Village is gradually getting on the right track. Shi Chong informed the fishermen of Nanpingzhou Village about the recipe for keeping fish fresh, and took the fishermen to go to sea with them. They caught fish together and made money together. The estrangement between the two ethnic groups was finally resolved.
Open.
Lin Xiaodong practiced hard for several days and finally achieved some success. This morning, in the gentle morning breeze and warm sunshine, he suddenly realized that he had reached the fifth level of the Mahayana realm.
After his realm improved, Lin Xiaodong began to put another idea into practice and said to Song Qing: "Cai Cai left the Immortal Pearl before her death. Can you also refine the treasure on your body?"
Song Qing said: "Isn't there already an Evergreen Sword?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "Zeng Minghui said that the way of wood is to seize.
But today I have achieved a breakthrough, and I feel that the virtue of wood goes far beyond grabbing."
"Although wood is grabbed, it is not its root. It is grabbed for the purpose of growth and prosperity!"
Lin Xiaodong suddenly spoke loudly, closed his eyes and moved, and fell into a state of selflessness again.
At noon, the sun was as bright as gold. Lin Xiaodong suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole body was covered with green light.
