Chapter 162 The dust has settled
In the vast earth, all creatures were foolish and ignorant. Later, heaven lowered its curtains and sent down sweet dew to promote life.
Lin Xiao couldn't quite remember where he had seen this sentence.
But at this moment, she could relate to these words.
The energy that inexplicably penetrates into the body gives people the illusion that their soul is being cleansed.
It was as if I had always been in an ignorant stage and had not been enlightened.
As the Qi continues to be input, this feeling becomes more and more obvious.
Even because of this situation, the fire in her body began to subside. The burning continued, but there was no longer the pain that penetrated deep into her bones.
"Chong'er, you must not give up, you must not give up..."
Seeing his nephew's face gradually losing color and his eye sockets showing signs of sinking, the man became completely panicked.
He took out various pills and spiritual fruits and piled them on the ground, stuffed them into the boy's mouth one by one, and then slowly released his spiritual power to help him refine them.
But even so, the vitality replenished into the boy's body was far less than what was lost, and the situation became worse and worse.
Lin Xiao put away his thoughts, looked at the small figure that was about to become skin and bones, and lowered his eyes secretly.
From the perspective of the universe, the little boy who needs to absorb the "earth energy" of the natives is not completely innocent.
Even though that person was very young and had not yet formed an inherent worldview, he was carrying original sin.
It is precisely because there are so many such children who need a constant supply of earth energy that their existence may be the reason why the real world seizes the virtual world.
Lin Xiao had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't want to kill a child for no reason in this way.
It's not out of soft-heartedness. First, I want to put myself in his shoes, and second, I'm worried that the older one will go crazy.
Things like stance are often innate at birth and have nothing to do with one's own will but are determined solely by identity.
If the boy was older, had grown up, and gradually realized his position, then Young Master Lin could sit back and watch him die little by little with peace of mind, or even add fuel to the fire.
But the little guy in front of him is so similar to the common people in the world who know nothing.
The only difference is that one of them is an executioner, and the other is a pig or sheep who may not even realize his or her identity until death.
[Little thing, let's have a discussion. Just be about it. Don't suck me dry. ]
Originally, Lin Xiao could not see the energy lines on his wrist, nor did he notice the abnormality of the Dao Seed.
All of this becomes different at the moment of 'awakening of the spirit'.
She saw clearly the thin thread connecting her hand to the little boy, and also discovered the little guy who was doing something secretly.
In the sea of consciousness, Dao Zhong was jumping up and down busily, but after hearing Lin Xiao's words, he paused on the spot, as if the power suddenly went out.
Then, the only leaf on its body shook, swaying left and right and looking around, observing something.
After a while, the little thing behaved like a child. After failing to find the source of the words, it treated the words that appeared out of thin air in its sea of consciousness as air and continued with its previous actions.
But the posture of absorbing vitality was much more vigorous than before, as if it was in a hurry.
Lin Xiao: "..."
This little thing is amazing, he can actually act?
[Okay, I know you can hear me and understand what I say.]
squeak!
Being exposed in public by his master, the little guy simply stopped pretending and accelerated the absorption speed while conveying his own emotions.
Dissatisfied and reluctant!
At the same time, it kept gesturing with the leaves on its body, hoping that its owner would realize what nonsense it was talking about.
Are you stupid if you don't want the good things you have?
Lin Xiao had discovered that the little guy was very strange before, so it was not surprising that he had such a reaction now.
However, as she looked at the Taoist seed that had given up its position in the center of the formation and carefully protected its "spiritual vitality", she inexplicably felt that this guy was a bit creepy.
It's like a poor man who has been single for most of his life and finally gets married. He is afraid that the wife he finally gets will run away, so he keeps her by her side all the time and is on guard against everyone.
This metaphor is not appropriate, but it is very vivid.
[Little guy, this is not how you do business. It is not good to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. It will bring us uncontrollable risks. Now that I know the trick, wouldn’t it be better to find a few more similar children to supplement their spirituality in the future? ]
The effect of this sentence was simply explosive. After Dao Zhong heard it, his leaves trembled continuously and were almost deformed with excitement.
[Tsk, you still get tired of the old and love the new? You scumbag! ]
Feeling Dao Zhong's eagerness, Lin Xiao couldn't help but spit, thinking that people are like their parents, and the little thing must have taken after the old man!
[Hurry up, if the little one dies, the big one might go crazy and affect us.]
call out!
As soon as the words fell, Dao Zhong immediately took action, showing extraordinary spirituality.
One meal after another, it shows that it can distinguish things.
Back to the center of the formation, no one knew how it did it, but the leaves shook slightly, cutting off the channel connecting to the outside world and blocking the inflow of vitality.
Then, the symbols in the eight directions of the formation began to light up rhythmically, conveying a unique rhythm to each other.
After a while, the external life force trapped on the formation diagram dissipated little by little in Lin Xiao's eyes.
The spirituality has been absorbed, but what is the effect?
Before she could ask, the changes in the Tao Seed had already given the answer.
New buds, the seeds of Taoism will sprout again after the leaves fall off!
Witnessing this scene, Lin Xiao was shocked and confirmed something of vital importance.
The Tao Seed finally belonged to her completely.
Seed germination requires nutrients. The more nutrients in the embryo, the less additional nutrients are needed and the higher the germination success rate.
The first few leaves are stimulated by the "nutrients" stored in the Tao seed itself, and are the legacy of the teacher.
As for the new piece, it depends on Lin Xiao's watering.
The difference is of great significance.
[Okay, keep it to yourself, and suck me dry too, quick.]
As soon as the commanding tone came out, Dao Zhong hurriedly did as he was told.
It had no idea that this was a test from its unscrupulous master, and it carried out the order dutifully.
Soon, Lin Xiao's face showed the same condition as the little boy, with dark bags under his eyes and pale cheeks.
"Chong... Chong'er, yes, just like that, just hold on, just hold on."
Just when the man was getting anxious and frustrated and about to explode, the situation suddenly took a turn for the better.
He discovered that the vitality and spirituality in his nephew's body were no longer lost, and his breathing gradually became stable.
The vitality is not extinguished, the spiritual fire is not extinguished, and the earth's energy is smoothly integrated with the spirituality...
After carefully checking the boy's condition, the man breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with helplessness and confusion.
Why would such a change occur just by absorbing the earth's energy?
Thinking that the little girl came from the Qian Realm but entered Kunxu's Cleansing Pool, this undoubtedly added many variables, and he had no idea where the incident came from.
Fortunately, the result was good. We survived the life-and-death crisis and kept the fire. In the future, we just need to nourish it slowly to keep the fire going. All that was consumed were some spiritual objects.
Most importantly, the purpose of incorporating the earth's energy to build the foundation of heaven and earth has been achieved.
"Little girl, this time there are so many..."
After a while, the man regained his calm and composed image and was about to say something to soothe the situation.
But just as he opened his mouth, he was startled back by the haggard face.
He took a step to Lin Xiao's side, reached out to touch the nose of the person with closed eyes, and found that the other person still had a faint breath. He immediately took out a bottle of Yang Yuan Dan and drank it.
"Girl, girl?"
After calling out a few times without receiving any response, the man continued to take out the good things from his possession and feed them to the little girl, while cutting the invisible silk thread at the same time.
It was impossible for him not to doubt Lin Xiao. Even if he couldn't remember it for a while, after he regained his senses, he would focus on the most suspicious target.
Therefore, no matter whether it is because his nephew has inherited the cause and effect, or because he wants to find an answer, this man must not die.
At least he can't die in front of me.
"Cough cough!"
After eating a lot of good things, Lin Xiao finally gave some response.
She had never expected that the little guy's power was so terrifying, and she almost turned herself into a corpse while trying her best to restrain herself.
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life."
The look was half innocent, half scared, which made the man frown and he was unsure at the moment.
"Girl, there are some things that I cannot see clearly, but I know that you are definitely a smart person. My nephew has accepted your favor, and I have also used precious elixirs to save your life. From now on, we are even. How do you think?"
The desire to find out the truth was eventually suppressed, and he chose the safest option.
This matter has already involved a Saint, and it openly violates the trial rules set by the adults. If other things are involved, Jiufeng Mountain may not be able to afford it.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, senior."
Lin Xiao stammered, firmly establishing the character of a native girl who was just a little clever and could read people's expressions.
Deadly killing moves are often hidden in the most inconspicuous places.
When you relax, that's when the enemy attacks.
The proposal of clearing both sides is undoubtedly the best, but it contains dangerous temptations.
Young Master Lin is accustomed to intrigues and deceptions, so naturally he would not give the other party a chance.
The more fog she had on her, the safer she was.
"Ah."
The man was also a decisive person. Up to this point, the opponent had not revealed any obvious flaws, so there was no need to create any more trouble.
He nodded, stood up and left, preparing to send his nephew back to the sect first.
"Oh, girl, you have passed the Cleansing Pool. After crossing the Dust-Breaking Bridge in front, you can go to..."
The man suddenly turned around, and halfway through his words, his eyes became gradually strange, and his body trembled slightly.
"senior?"
Lin Xiao didn't understand what was going on and hadn't noticed anything unusual about himself.
It was first burned and tempered by the nameless fire, then a large amount of vitality was absorbed by the Tao seed, and then replenished by elixirs and spiritual objects. It seemed that the total amount of vitality was only reduced a little, but its nature had changed.
The special Taoist charm hidden in her was revealed silently.
"You... should go there earlier."
The man turned around with difficulty, using the greatest self-control he had ever had in his life to barely suppress the fear in his heart.
That is the divine pattern and rhythm of the Lord, there is no mistake about it.
He lowered his head and walked towards the other side where his nephew was at a normal pace, with turbulent waves in his heart.
Everyone knows that among the supreme beings in the real world, only the Lord has never accepted a disciple, so Tianque has no young master until now.
Now, a girl named Wu, who is suspected to be from the Baizun tribe, has the charm of the adults...
Has the successor of Tianque appeared?
