465、The last task 1
Chapter 466 The last mission 1
Nandou Mountain is the highest mountain in the capital, and it is naturally the coldest mountain after winter. The north wind outside the house is blowing, like the roar of a mandrill.
Inside the room, Prince Jin, wearing several thick cotton coats, curled up on the ground and shivered. Although he was sweating heavily, his body was as cold as ice. His originally handsome face was blue and white at this time, and he was no longer a ghost and half dead. Several guards pressed his limbs tightly to prevent him from hurting himself while struggling. The little emperor stood by and looked at him, his eyes were already soaked in tears.
"Sir Lin, please save him, please save him!" The young man knelt down as he spoke, and everyone in the palace also knelt down one after another.
Only Lin Dan was still standing at the table and carefully washed a set of golden needles. She did not answer the boy's words, and after preparing the treatment tools, she reached out and prepared to take off Prince Jin's shoes. Prince Jin was so cold that he was about to lose consciousness, but suddenly shrank his feet and shouted softly. He didn't want Lin Dan to see his incomplete body.
"Don't be afraid, you will be fine with me." Lin Dan gently comforted him and made a promise over and over again.
Prince Jin, who was struggling, gradually became quiet. Although his eyes were eroded by the cold and could not see anything, he still raised his head and tried his best to find the direction Lin Dan was. Lin Dan held one of his hands and patted him gently. After he relaxed completely, he took off his shoes, and then saw his broken feet.
Prince Jin struggled again, but heard Lin Dan smile softly: "Is this the wound you left when fighting in the Northern Wilderness? For this country, you sacrifice your head and blood. This is not incompleteness, but a proof of heroes."
Prince Jin's heart, which was almost bursting due to the cold, suddenly surged with a warm current.
Lin Dan held up his feet without any disdain and said slowly: "It is said that cold starts from your feet, and this is true. What I want to do now is to open the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of your feet, push out the cold air in your body, and then add fire pills to replenish your Yuanyang. This is a long process, but I can guarantee that after this winter, you will be cured."
Prince Jin listened to her words, and even without anyone suppressing her, he returned to peace. This was an unprecedented opportunity. The little emperor knelt on his knees and looked at him, and infinite hope surged in his heart.
As soon as Lin Dan finished speaking, he bent his index finger and used his knuckles to hit the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of Prince Jin's left foot, and then quickly said: "Golden Needle!"
The well-trained Xu Miaomiao immediately handed a golden needle, not daring to delay at all.
Lin Dan pierced the acupoint that had been red from her, and then pierced the sole of her right foot as usual. Then he stuffed a fiery red pill into Prince Jin's mouth, and pressed his abdomen with a palm containing hidden internal strength to quickly melt the medicine.
The so-called fire pill, as the name suggests, is a kind of elixir with Yuanyang like fire. For healthy people, its effectiveness is comparable to that of highly toxic. It can trigger the yang fire in the body in an instant, causing the user to explode and die. However, for Prince Jin, who is deeply in the cold poison, the fire pill is a life-saving medicine. It was just swallowed and lit a fire in his abdomen, causing every cell to burn. He seemed to have fallen from the ice hole into the fire pit, and only felt that the whole body was filled with hot flames.
"I'm hot." Prince Jin whispered.
"Take off a piece of clothing when you are hot." Lin Dan still put his palm on his abdomen.
"Uncle Emperor, what did you say?" the little emperor asked in disbelief.
"I said I'm hot!" Prince Jin stopped struggling and twitching, no longer moaned in pain, but turned his head to look at the little emperor, with his smile stretched out, "I seemed to be sweating."
The little emperor quickly picked up a cloth towel to wipe his sweat, touched his hands again, and said in horror: "It's really hot! It's hot!" His eyes widened, as if he had encountered something extremely incredible.
The guards responsible for suppressing Prince Jin also felt the scorching heat in their palms and couldn't help but show a horrifying expression. It is said that the elixir of Lin Xianchang is full of dead bones. They finally saw it today. The rumors are not exaggerated at all, they are all true!
Lin Dan withdrew her palm, but Prince Jin was firmly grasped by her wrist.
"The medicinal power of the fire pill has been evaporated. I have to force out cold poison for you now. Don't be afraid, it's okay." Lin Dan stroked his forehead, his voice soft.
Only then did Prince Jin let her go reluctantly and follow her figure with a hazy gaze. She rolled up his trouser legs and kept pressing his major acupoints with her internal strength. Before she knew it, she felt sweaty. This shows that she was not relaxed in this process.
The little emperor watched her rescue the emperor's uncle with all concentration, and then exclaimed. The blood vessels on Prince Jin's legs were suddenly burst out, and they were pulsating one after another, as if something was about to crawl out. Lin Dan's pressing was the signal to guide them to vent. After a while, a lot of purple-black blood flowed out of Prince Jin's Yongquan acupoint. The blood was extremely thick and solidified as soon as it fell into the copper basin. After a while, another layer of frost was covered with, which looked very terrifying.
The little emperor exclaimed again and said in fear: "This is cold poison? No wonder the emperor's uncle is so painful every time he gets sick!"
Lin Dan whispered: "As soon as the medicine of the Fire Pill is rushing, the cold poison can no longer be stored in his body. He has to find a gap to drain it out. He has been poisoned for a long time and must be discharged forty-nine days."
The little emperor nodded repeatedly and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Xianchang Lin, thank you! If it weren't for you, the emperor wouldn't know how much suffering he would have to suffer." He turned his head and wiped his red eyes with his sleeves.
The purple blood flowed for half an hour before stopping. Lin Dan applied some plaster to prevent infection on the soles of Prince Jin's feet, which made people carry him down to take a shower. Two quarters of an hour later, he was carefully sent by the guards into the bed that had been covered with warmth.
Lin Dan left silently, but the little emperor Yu sat in front of the bed and carefully helped him tuck the corners of the quilt.
Prince Jin looked at the top of the tent with his eyes stretched out, touched the thick quilt again, and sighed: "It's so warm."
The little emperor immediately stuffed his hands back and touched his warm skin. For a moment, tears gushed like a spring. It's so good, the emperor's hands have never been so warm!—
Ten years later, a ragged woman led a pale-faced boy into the capital. They walked on the bustling streets with a restrained face, and once they found passing officials, they hurriedly hid in the dark alley.
"Mom, I'm hungry!" The boy pulled the corner of the woman's clothes.
"Would you be better if you bear it anymore? I'll go find food for you later." The woman whispered.
"Okay." The boy nodded obediently, obviously he had long been used to this kind of displaced, hungry and cold life.
The two hid in the dark alley for a long time. After the official officer walked away completely, they slipped out tremblingly. However, they saw the road ahead full of people, and there were even noises one after another. The woman retreated like a frightened bird, but suddenly she was stunned. She saw an eighteen-nine-year-old girl surrounded by the crowd. Her appearance could only be considered pretty, but her temperament was as gentle as water, which made people happy.
Behind her was a black-peng carriage, and two handsome Taoist priests stood on the shaft of the carriage, constantly shouting: "Everyone retreats, retreats, and be careful of being crushed by the wheels. My master has refined enough pills, everyone has them, don't worry!"
The people who were originally excited immediately stepped back in an orderly manner and looked at the girl with fanatical and awe. The girl took packs of pills from her two junior brothers and distributed them to everyone, with a shallow smile on her lips.
The woman looked at the girl with her expressions of joy and sorrow. Her son pulled her sleeve and asked curiously: "Mom, who is she and what is she doing?"
The person standing beside the mother and son said with reverence: "You are outsiders, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't even know the eldest disciple of Nandou Zhenren. A few days ago, a fever broke out in the capital. Many people died of high fever, but they could not find out the reason. Seeing the capital city full of mourning and white banners everywhere, the emperor personally climbed the Nandou Mountain and asked Nandou Zhenren to come out of seclusion to save the world."
When the little boy heard about the deeds of the Nandou Real Man, his eyes immediately lit up: "Is the Nandou Real Man you mentioned the living god?"
"Yes! As soon as she came out of seclusion, the crazy spreading fever was controlled. You guessed that, it turned out that the fever was a kind of flea, which could destroy the root of the disease by killing the fleas. Nandou Zhenren also developed antipyretics and clearing miasma pills. After taking antipyretics, the fever could be cured immediately. Then put the clear miasma pill somewhere in the home to drive away the fleas."
"Wow, Nandou Real Person is so awesome!"
"Well? As long as the real person in Nandou is willing to take action, there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved. Oh, I'm going to send it to us, hurry up, let's go forward!" The man pulled the woman and the little boy and squeezed forward. The woman was very reluctant and was about to hide behind, but saw the girl reach out and handed over a bag of medicine.
The woman answered by a strange thing. In a trance, the girl's face overlapped with the timid and timid face of her previous life. But it turned out that as long as she followed her mother, Xu Miaomiao could live so well. She was respected by others, like a god. And she was in a mess and indifference, living without a fixed place, and living worse than a beggar.
The woman hugged the medicine in her arms, and two lines of turbid tears were shed in the corner of her eyes. The person who had just talked to her bumped into her shoulder and whispered: "I think you two mothers and mothers seem to need help. Let's do this. Give me the medicine, how about I pay you two taels of silver?"
The woman subconsciously held the medicine bag tightly, reluctant to give up, and saw her son's eager gaze, and had to compromise: "Okay, I'll sell you the medicine." After living for a lifetime, she thought she would live a good life, but it turned out that she still had to rely on her mother's gift to survive.—
Lin Dan lived in Nandou Mountain for more than 40 years. After Prince Jin left, he bid farewell to his disciples and traveled around. After more than 30 years, she suddenly felt something and returned to the capital again and entered the temple in Sanqing Hall. The little emperor had passed away. His son, the new emperor who had just succeeded to the throne, had to come to Nandou Mountain to pay his respects in person at the urging of the court officials.
When the Nandou Zhenren left the capital, he was still born, so he did not have much awe of the legendary immortal chief, nor did he think that her deeds were true. However, when he entered the main hall and saw the person sitting on the cushion, he was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react at all.
In a blink of an eye, more than seventy years have passed, and this person is more than one hundred years old, but her face is still as young as the picture left by Prince Jin, without any trace of time.
"She, is she true or not!" Xindi's voice trembled slightly.
The Taoist priests kneeling around Lin Dan said in tears: "Your Majesty, the master has gone."
"Die?" The new emperor frowned, feeling that this was a scam. As soon as he came, the man died. Could it be a fake? What the hell is Xuan Qingguan doing? Do you think their prestige is not enough and want to create another miracle?
The new emperor was very dissatisfied, but because of the bad reputation of Xuan Qingguan, he had to pinch his nose and hold a state funeral for the immortal Lin. The funeral of 49 days ended. What was Lin Dan like when he died and what was still like now? It was clearly in midsummer, but the body showed no sign of decay.
The new emperor came to her body every day to pay tribute. The disdain and suspicion in his heart dissipated little by little, and eventually turned into deep awe. The soul has gone, and the body is not rotten. Is Lin Xianchang acquaintance?
When Lin Dan opened her eyes again, she found herself moving rapidly in the sky, holding a brilliant spiritual sword in her hand, her heart full of uncontrollable sadness and anger. The murderous intent of the sea led her to rush forward, and the tip of her sword was actually a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, and her robes were also torn, as if she was seriously injured.
How did these injuries come about? It is not difficult to judge from the bystanders' exclamations and anger that it should be caused by Lin Dan.
This scene is so familiar and strange. It seems that it has been experienced before, and it seems that it has been a long time since it has been away. At this moment, many memories kept gushing out from Lin Dan's mind, bitter, sweet, joyful, angry, thousands of tastes and emotions...
In a trance, she noticed the sound of the spirit sword in her hand making a low sound, then fell tightly on her wrist and dragged her body down. The sword she stabbed at the girl inevitably turned tilted, and followed by a fierce palm wrapped in the flames and wind.
She flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and the spirit sword in her hand was still trembling, as if she wanted to break free from her control and flew towards the man who attacked her. The man fell from mid-air, pulled the seriously injured girl behind him, pointed at Lin Dan with the sharp tip of the sword, and said coldly: "I have warned you long ago not to touch her!"
The sword in the man's hand is a pair of swords in Lin Dan's hand, but the size and weight are slightly different. The two swords trembled and resonated, as if they were about to merge together.
Lin Dan immediately stretched out his hand and pressed down the spirit sword that was eager to fly towards the man. The people standing around watching the battle surrounded him, asking the girl one by one if she was seriously injured, but no one cared about Lin Dan's safety. There were even a few people staring at her with anger but not speaking.
Lin Dan took out a bottle of pills from the Qiankun Ring and swallowed it, suppressed the churn spiritual power inside her body, and then left with the sword. He did not answer the man's words, nor did he look at him more. He thought she would be hysterical, and everyone who made a big fuss looked at her upright back and was stunned on the spot.
The man held the girl with one hand and the spirit sword with the other, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
Lin Dan returned to his cave according to his memory, set up a ban, and called in his mind: "System, are you still here?"
The mind is quiet and there is no echo.
Lin Dan's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and then she showed a relaxed smile. The system really disappeared, that's fine. She was not willing to return to the controlled and imprisoned life she had in the past. Even if she returned to the last world before the mission was over, she could still be herself.
At first, she thought she had attained enlightenment, so she chose to overcome the tribulation. However, after experiencing so many worlds and regaining joys, sorrows, sorrows, and desires, she realized that even if the ladder had not broken, she could not ascend, because the heart of Wuji Taoism she had comprehended was not perfect, it was just a prototype. Such a fragile heart was not enough to block the thunder of the nine heavens for her.
The so-called Wuji is endless, the Tao is infinite, the heart is infinite, and the law is infinite. But she abandoned joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and restricted herself to a cold frame with her own hands. That is not Wuji, but the confinement of the heart. She dare not love, hate, and she dare not hate, and she let go, so she used self-destructive methods to end everything.
However, she was lucky. When she forced herself into a desperate situation, she forgot everything and learned to love, hate, take, and let go again. Her heart was free, and her Tao naturally became comprehended, so she frequently fell into a state of retreat in the last small world.
If you want to love, love, hate, hate, and when you want to give up, you can let go of your hands and leave it with it... Lin Dan looked up at the void with a shallow smile on her lips. At the same time, she set up several more prohibitions in the cave to isolate the outside world's spy, and then condensed all her cultivation and spiritual power into a knife, stabbed her into her belly, and directly split the round golden elixir in half.
Blood gushed wildly from the corners of her mouth. The pain of the shattering of the golden elixir was almost equivalent to the soul tearing, but she seemed to be completely unaware of it. Not only did she not frown, she even had a smile on the corners of her mouth. She broke a great perfect golden elixir, and then controlled the knife condensed by spiritual energy, drew a blood line along her spine, and slowly pulled out the sword bone that had been finally cultivated.
The spirit sword placed beside her seemed to feel something. Finally, he stopped searching for the aura of the spirit sword just now, but instead wailed at Lin Dan.
It flew around Lin Dan, trying to stop the sword condensed by spiritual energy, but it was helpless. Although Lin Dan had destroyed her golden elixir, her Taoist heart was perfected in an instant, so the small amount of spiritual energy left in this world could be used by her. No matter how many times the spiritual sword broke the spirit sword, it would still emerge in the next moment and continue to peel off the sword bones.
After a while, a bloody jade-colored spine was placed in front of Lin Dan, but she didn't even look at it. She held the spiritual sword and said softly: "I know you have been dissatisfied with me. From now on, you can find a satisfied master yourself." After a while, he pointed and forced out the blood that had been integrated into the sword's body and filled it with a treasure bottle.
The spirit sword has already developed spiritual intelligence, and its level will not decrease after losing its blood at the heart. It has just cut off its connection with Lin Dan. From now on, it will be free and will no longer be used by this woman to attack its master's sweetheart. But for some reason, it cannot feel the slightest joy.
It lay quietly in Lin Dan's hand, and the dazzling treasure light converged, as if it turned into an ordinary iron sword. But Lin Dan knew that when its level reached the heavenly level, it would automatically force out the blood of her heart and turn to the woman's arms. It would even suddenly turn against her on the battlefield and pierce her heart.
At that time, she couldn't love her and wanted to help herself, so she could only vent, attack and hurt again and again. She thought that ruthlessness was the only way to liberation, but in the end she realized that letting everything follow the wind and giving herself freedom was the best choice.
The ladder to the sky in this world has been broken, and the way of heaven is getting weaker and weaker. Whether she can leave alive in the future is an unknown. But it doesn’t matter, as long as her mind is free, it’s the same everywhere. Now she has given up her cultivation, sword bones, and twin treasures, and just wants to walk her own way.
Thinking of this, Lin Dan couldn't help but chuckled, then took out a big pill to swallow it, causing all her thoughts to sink into darkness. The spirit sword trembled after she entered into meditation and made a low sound, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
At the same time, the man who was helping the girl with the wound felt ache in his heart and almost knocked over the bottle of medicine in his hand.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?" the girl asked timidly.
"It's okay, you're resting." The man handed over several bottles of precious elixirs to the girl, and then hurriedly left the courtyard despite her retention and walked towards the hill where Lin Dan was, but was blocked by several bans. Feeling that these bans could isolate the snooping of the fusion period, the man's brows became tighter and tighter, and finally took out a crane-shaped note and sent it to the cave.
Several disciples passing by the cave came around and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior Brother, you don't have to pay attention to Senior Sister Lin. This time she was too much. The younger sister just entered the mountain gate and her cultivation level was just in the foundation-building stage. She insisted on competing with the younger sister. Isn't this bullying the young sister with the big ones and bullying the weak? Our Xuanji Sect has never had such a trend! Also, she slandered the younger sister with the blood of the demons and deliberately concealed her cultivation. The younger sister was brought back by the sect leader himself. Can her cultivation and bloodline be hidden beyond the sect leader? Senior Brother, are you saying that Senior Sister Lin is too much? Don't pay attention to her and let her reflect on her for a few days."
The man listened silently and did not nod. He was also very dissatisfied with Lin Dan's actions today. He had been preparing to ask her out for a long time to warn her. However, for some reason, his heart was beating rapidly, and it was tying his nerves, causing waves of stinging pain after wave.
An extremely ominous feeling rose in his heart, and he couldn't help calling with his spiritual sense: "001, help me call Lin Dan's system."
A moment later, a mechanized voice rang in his sea of consciousness: "Report to the host, Lin Dan's system did not respond, and it seemed that he had disconnected from me."
"Impossible, no system can avoid your monitoring, you can call it and try it." The man brows were deeply locked and anxious.
After a while, the system replied: "Report to the host, Lin Dan's system is really not within my call range. According to my analysis, there are two situations: one, her system collapsed; the other, she unbinds the system."
"Impossible. If the system collapses, she will die. Besides, her points are not enough to unbind with the system." The man said confidently.
Chapter completed!
