"Of course there is a master, and the immortal master who cares about the country is the same person as the immortal master who founded the country in Chengkang."

Hearing the reply from the mute nun, Lin Xiao couldn't help but look surprised. He was thinking that the strange finger bones in the sea of ​​​​qi were related to the long-annihilated ancient country of Chengkang. This was a bit too incredible.

.

Then he heard Lin Xiaoyan say: "Senior, since I am so sure, I wonder if I have any other clues about this Immortal Lord who founded the Kingdom of Chengkang, and can give me some pointers..."

The dumb nun took a deep look at Lin Xiao and said to herself: "It seems that my little friend does have a close relationship with our country..."

Lin Xiao naturally knew what the other party meant, but the amputated phalanx was related to his biggest secret, and it was too bizarre. How could he speak lightly to others, so he could only say it reluctantly.

"Senior, please forgive me, there are many things that are hard to say about this matter, junior..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, the mute grandma raised her hand to stop. "You don't have to be like this, little friend."

Seeing that Lin Xiao was puzzled, he explained: "It is difficult for me to decipher the handwriting of an expert. Since the head and tail fall on the little friend, the little friend will follow. As for others, it is better not to know than to know."

Lin Xiao seemed to have some realization and asked: "Senior, what do you mean..."

"That's right." The mute grandma nodded and said: "A person with great supernatural powers can connect Yin and Yang and understand the heaven and earth. How can he make a move without a plan? What I call 'accidental' is what he calls 'inevitable'. My little friend should have this awareness in order to

Don’t be alarmed when things change, and turn misfortune into good fortune.”

When Lin Xiao heard this, he suddenly remembered the Zen master of Dajue Temple in Jingguang Mountain who was mentioned by Shangguan Xiao in Anwu City as the number one recluse, the head of the Buddhist kingdom.

At that time, the great master seemed to use the method of "calculation of heavenly secrets" to deduce the time and place, and sent two "Two Saints of Sky-Zhanbing" to take him and go west to the Buddhist Kingdom.

Looking back now, Lin Xiao already believed 80% about the "great supernatural power".

So he bowed and said, "Thank you, senior, for your advice. I will be more careful and pay attention to everything."

"Well, this is the best." The mute nun sighed softly, and then said: "This master of the immortal sect, not to mention Cheng Kang, was more than a thousand years old when he last died and worried about the founding of the country.

Most of the descriptions left before now are vague and difficult to prove. I am afraid it will be even more difficult if you want 'clues'."

"As for tracing back to the origin, it is not impossible to go to the 'Yunmeng Fairy Garden' to explore. However, I have some words of advice. I hope you will listen..."

Lin Xiao hurriedly said: "Senior, you are too polite. Of course, what I said will be firmly remembered in my heart and I will not dare to go beyond it."

The mute grandma nodded slightly and said: "There are records in our domestic collection of books. When Emperor Chengkangwu built the 'Yunmeng Immortal Garden', he sent three thousand worshippers, many of whom were highly cultivated and skilled in formations.

The dangers of such a management arrangement are evident..."

"In addition, two thousand years have passed due to the changes in the sea. No one knows what the land has become like now."

"Not to mention, I don't know what the phrase 'four of the five emperors of the five directions issued decrees, sealed off places, and isolated monks' means."

"So, my friend, I'm afraid it's too early to go. It's best to plan things out slowly."

When Lin Xiao heard this, how could he not understand the meaning of what the other party said, so he replied: "Senior, don't worry, this junior will naturally understand this point. To say that this junior is only the first level of foundation building, and it is only the first glimpse into the Immortal Sect.

The door is like a child. How dare you risk your life and go to the 'Yunmeng Fairy Garden' to find out what's going on? Isn't that asking for death?"

"It's good to know, little friend."

The mute grandma smiled and continued: "Now that the matter has been revealed, I should tell the truth about my little friend leaving our country."

Lin Xiao felt a little doubtful. "Why is the founding immortal master still related to whether the younger generation can leave the country of home and worry?"

"That's true." I heard the mute mother say: "Back then, the immortal master set up a large formation to isolate the inside and outside, so he naturally left behind the secret method for the use of the remnants of our homeland and future generations... One of them is as a great master.

The 'Izumo Danlong Pendant' where the key to the formation exists; the two are the heirs of the Bai family's bloodline skills."

Lin Xiao looked stunned. "Is there anything else?"

The mute mother replied: "That's right. The formation here needs the spiritual body of the heir of the martial arts to be used as a guide in order to open it smoothly. Otherwise, why do you think the Bai family can sit alone in the imperial court and continue to this day?"

Lin Xiao suddenly realized it, and even the last bit of doubt disappeared.

"I see, but using the natal spirit body to activate the grand formation will harm the lives of the current successors of the Bai family's martial arts. That's why the senior mentioned this section?"

The mute grandma nodded and said: "What I said is correct, it is related to the inheritance of the Bai family's martial arts. Moreover, the heirs of this generation are still young, and it is still unknown where the next generation will be. Therefore, if I want to leave me immediately, I

The country is really difficult to deal with..."

The mute grandma knew she was in the wrong. After all, she was fighting for her life and death. Not only did she help the Bai family and even Bailongguan secure their positions, but she also directly broke up Mei Chengfeng's soul.

As a result, the dust has settled, but I can't help others leave their home country smoothly...

I heard the dumb nun slightly leaning forward and trying her best to explain: "But little friend, you don't need to worry too much. The current successor of the Bai family's martial arts has no ambitions and no intention to practice. It will only last for a few decades at most. I can leave smoothly."

Our country."

"During this period, whether I want to find another immortal mansion, hide from the world and practice cultivation, or live in Bailong Temple to study the great road, I will be there to protect me, no matter what..."

The mute grandma was talking, but she didn't see any reply from Lin Xiao. She had doubts in her heart and looked up.

I saw that the young man on the bed opposite had a strange face, as if he was thinking about something.

Before the mute mama could ask, Lin Xiao turned over his palm, and a glass bead the size of a soybean fell into his palm - it was actually what was left behind when Bai Zhi's soul dissipated!

For a moment, both of their eyes fell on Xiaozhu, and there was no sound in the room.

……

……

Time flies, one month later.

On this day, there was a three-masted ship on the plum water, breaking through the waves and moving forward slowly.

At this time, at the bow of the ship, a flute sounded leisurely, lingering and scattered, echoing between the two mountains, dotted with the bright yellow vegetation in late autumn.

The river wind blew by, sweeping up a few strands of the flute player's long hair, revealing a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

When the song ends, the lingering sound lingers for a long time.

At some point, there was another person beside me.

Under the gauze, Mu Xiyun's voice was soothing. "The skill of raising the master has improved a lot."

Lin Xiao smiled. "Miss, it's just that I'm stuck in the cabin these days and I'm bored. I have to find something to do..."

Mu Xiyun nodded and smiled. "Is Master Ti's injury better?"

"Thanks to Miss Lao's concern, I'm feeling much better." Lin Xiao replied: "And my injury is actually not serious at all. It's almost enough to recover."

Mu Xiyun gave a soft "hmm" and suddenly sighed: "I never thought that the opportunity for the master to leave the country of homeland would fall on senior Bai Zhi. It is really unpredictable and it is difficult for people to know everything."

Lin Xiao also sighed with emotion: "Who said it was not the case? I never expected that this would be the result..."

Recalling that day in the quiet room, I took out the glass bead. After some inspection by the dumb nun, I concluded that it was the innate spirit of Bai Zhi, and it should be used as a guide to activate the formation.

At that time, I still didn’t believe it. How could it be such a coincidence?

But the mute grandmother slowly shook her head and said that God’s will is unpredictable, how can there be so many coincidences in the world?

Now that the problem of "natal spirit body" has been solved, there is no obstacle to leaving the country of worry.

So the two of them agreed to send Lin Xiao out one month later, and that's why today's scene of boating on the river happened - because the big formation was at the end of Meishui, among the mountains.

At this point, a moment of silence enveloped the two people on the bow of the boat. Mu Xiyun, dressed in white, stood quietly in the wind, just like when they first met that day, with a painting-like look on the distant mountains.

The voice suddenly rose, as cold as a spring. "Have you never thought about staying in your hometown to worry about your country?"

Lin Xiao looked at the waves on the bow of the ship and the mountains on both sides of the bank. He wanted to say something casually and deal with it, but for some reason, he took a deep breath, as if remembering, and said slowly.

"Before I fell into trouble, I experienced life and death. Even after many years, I still remember..."

"On the clouds in the sky, the golden elixir opened the sky with a sword; on the top of the heavy building, the cloud ship cracked like stars falling... I wanted to save many people, but they passed away without a trace in the end, just like tears in the rain..."

"Just when I thought it would be better to die vigorously and violently, I escaped with my life and ended up here..."

Lin Xiao smiled softly, seeming to be a little self-deprecating.

"What can I do if I want to die but can't get it? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous..."

"From that moment on, I knew that in the rest of my life, the path to the ultimate goal would be to die or to stop, to succeed or to return, to be in one place, one place, one country..."

Next to him, Mu Xiyun looked at Lin Xiao's profile, which was as sharp as a knife or an axe. His eyes trembled slightly and he wanted to speak, but in the end he bit his red lips and stopped talking.

The water marks are as old as before, and the boat is moving slowly.

Not far from the bow of the ship, an overgrown ferry is vaguely visible.

But at this time, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up when several familiar figures on the pier caught his eye, and he immediately waved.

It was Lu Guangqi and Zhuo Qinghe who were responsible for the front line.

Of course, there are also a dozen Tan Tang secret guards scattered among them.

The lowered sail slowed down, and before it came to a stop, Lin Xiao clasped his fist at Mu Xiyun, put his foot on the bow of the ship, and flew down.

Over there, Zhuo Qinghe stepped forward to catch him, and said with a smile: "I've met my senior brother. Is the journey going smoothly, senior brother?"

Lin Xiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Why didn't it go well? I told you to come with me earlier, but the senior wouldn't let me say anything. I could only go step by step and sail to this point..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lu Guangqi coming forward. Lin Xiao hurriedly bowed and said solemnly: "For this junior to do such a small thing, the senior has to bear the injury and personally open the way. Really, I feel ashamed..."
p>

Although Lu Guangqi looked a little pale, fortunately he looked good. He laughed when he saw him, grabbed Lin Xiao and said, "Why are you so polite to me? Even if the temple master doesn't give orders, I will come in person and step on it."

Let’s talk about it after it’s safe!”
