Chapter 169 Lin Ye: You don’t even want to act?
Village entrance!
The old man's soul was dim, and he did not fight back against the female ghost's killing move.
A flash of light passed by!
A huge hole appeared in the old camphor tree at the entrance of the village. The female ghost Tang Jin looked forward with a vigilant look in her eyes.
Lin Ye walked back to the village entrance.
The bright light just now was emitted by him.
The Sky-controlling Sword.
Whether you succeed or not is up to fate.
However, judging from the fearful look in the female ghost Tang Jin's eyes at this moment, her goal had been achieved.
"Why, you want to intervene in this matter?"
"I'm not interfering. I just want to finish the story I just started."
Lin Ye glanced at the old man. He knew why the old man didn't say anything, because in the old man's view, this was just one of his ways to atone for his sins.
"In the early years of the Republic of China, He Zhiming returned to southern Jiangxi. Thinking about what he had done back then, he always felt guilty. He wanted to go and apologize, and let the eldest lady of the Tang family take revenge on him."
"Unfortunately, when I went to the Tang Mansion, everything had changed. The former Tang Mansion had been replaced by someone else. After some inquiries, He Zhiming learned that when the whole country was in revolution, the same was true in southern Jiangxi. In order to collect money, the revolutionaries robbed several wealthy families, including the Tang family. The entire Tang family was killed by the revolutionaries, and only two children escaped by chance and became beggars on the streets. He Zhiming found the two orphans of the Tang family, adopted them home, raised them up, and still gave them the surname Tang. So far, there have been four generations, and the family is prosperous."
Lin Ye finished speaking in one breath. Tang Jin's expression changed and he asked He Zhiming, "Is what he said true?"
"Ahem... When I returned to southern Jiangxi, the first thing I did was to go to the Tang Mansion, but I didn't expect that the Tang Mansion had already met with an accident. After I made some inquiries, I learned that there were still two children alive in the Tang family. I asked people to look for them in many ways, and finally found the two children in a beggar's den."
Tang Jin's lips trembled a little: "When I hanged myself, my sister-in-law had already given birth to a son and a daughter, both less than three years old."
The timing is just right.
After Tang Jin hanged himself, he did not turn into a ghost quickly. Instead, he encountered some misfortunes and was able to walk among the human world as a ghost only after a long time. However, the Tang family had already disappeared by then.
"Where are they?"
"In the city, the descendants of the Tang family have moved in to live. He Zhiming passed away thirty years ago, but his soul has not yet dispersed and is trapped under this camphor tree. I think you should be able to sense it."
The ancient trees in the village have always been spiritual.
Generally, when someone cuts down an old tree, there will be old people who will come out to dissuade them, because the old people are nearing the end of their life span, and they can feel the spiritual power of the old tree in the dark. If they leave the old tree, their souls can stay in the village and watch over their descendants.
This is the case with He Zhiming.
If it weren't for this ancient camphor tree, his soul would have gone to the underworld long ago.
Tang Jin's expression kept changing, and he was obviously making some decision. After a while, Tang Jin suddenly waved his right hand, and a strong negative energy rushed towards the camphor tree.
The camphor tree that was originally hit by a hole in it by Lin Ye's sword was slowly recovering, and its branches and leaves were more luxuriant than before. At the same time, Tang Jin grabbed the old man in the air with his right hand, and the body floated towards the camphor tree. Seeing this, Lin Ye stretched out his hand halfway, but finally let it go.
"I, Tang Jin, clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment. If you protect the bloodline of my Tang family, I will spare your life. From now on, you will stay on this camphor tree forever. As long as the camphor tree is not destroyed, your soul will be trapped in it forever."
Tang Jin's cold words made Lin Ye's expression somewhat complicated. He Zhiming's soul was saved, but the price he paid was being trapped in the camphor tree.
With the protection of ancient camphor trees under modern laws, unless something unexpected happens, there will be no problem for the camphor trees to live for another few hundred years.
However, for the old man, perhaps this result is acceptable to him. The old man's soul remains in this village, perhaps just waiting for this moment.
Tang Jin turned her gaze to Lin Ye and stared at him for such a long time that Lin Ye's scalp felt numb.
"I'm giving you a piece of advice. If you encounter a 'witch', stay away from him."
witch?
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed. This was the third time he had heard of the word "wu".
"That witch..."
Just when Lin Ye was about to ask for clarification, Tang Jin's figure had already disappeared from the spot, and it was obvious that he had no intention of answering Lin Ye's questions.
Looking at the empty space ahead, Lin Ye felt helpless. This woman was not a good person. She only spoke halfway and kept people in suspense.
"Advisor Lin!"
In the village, Zhong Shan and Tu Yang rushed over with the staff from the appraisal institute. Seeing the empty village, they were both a little confused.
What about He Zhiming's soul?
"Let's go, things are over here."
Lin Ye did not tell Zhongshan and the others that He Zhiming's soul was now in this camphor tree.
A group of people got on the car, which started and drove away from the village. At the entrance of the village, the branches of the camphor tree suddenly shook and bent, as if a person was bowing towards the direction the car was leaving.
Lin Ye saw the movement of the camphor tree through the rearview mirror, sighed softly, leaned back in the car seat, and closed his eyes.
From the perspective of the entire nation, He Zhiming is undoubtedly a hero, but from Tang Jin's personal perspective, He Zhiming is a sinner.
Seeing Lin Ye closing his eyes to rest, Zhong Shan, who was driving, also concentrated on driving and did not dare to speak to disturb him.
…
Longxi Villa.
Lin Ye had just returned to the villa when his body suddenly shook and his expression became strange.
He discovered that the power of merit, which had not grown for a long time, suddenly grew a lot at this moment.
What the hell?
And what is increasing is the hidden virtue?
What did you do?
Helped Tang Jin find He Zhiming, but that was just a transaction, and logically speaking, it had nothing to do with Yin De.
Stopped Tang Jin from killing He Zhiming?
Is it because of this that I give myself such great merit?
Just when Lin Ye was confused, he received a message from Zhong Shan on his phone.
[Advisor Lin, we went to ask the descendants of the Tang family adopted by He Zhiming, and they told us some things about He Zhiming. I asked someone to record the content and send it to you.]
Lin Ye opened the file and after reading the contents, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. He finally understood why he was suddenly given so much good karma.
He Zhiming participated in the Northern Expedition under the pseudonym He Nianjin, but he was not just an ordinary soldier, but a general. After the Northern Expedition was successful, he chose to retire and returned to southern Jiangxi. He Zhiming did not tell his descendants, but the descendants of the Tang family discovered it from the relics left behind by He Zhiming when they found the letter of appointment and military medals that gave He Zhiming his military post.
After returning to southern Jiangxi, He Zhiming not only adopted descendants of the Tang family, but also opened a private school to teach the children. When these children grew up, they all joined the army to serve their country, and many of them even gave their lives for the revolution.
"He Zhiming has made great contributions to the country and the nation. It is obvious that the heavens do not want to see such a hero die like this. I stopped Tang Jin, and therefore I have gained so much Yin De."
Yin De enters the body.
Lin Ye sat cross-legged and began to absorb the power of these good deeds.
At his Dantian, one could see the power of Yin De constantly pouring into the little man's body. The little man's body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, one centimeter, two centimeters...
The facial features on the little man's face also began to slowly stretch out. If previously only a blurry version of the shrunken Lin Ye could be seen, then the little man now was a shrunken replica of Lin Ye, and his facial features were exactly the same as the current Lin Ye.
Half an hour later.
At this moment, the little man is two and a half feet tall, almost the same height as a two-year-old child.
The little man clenched his fist and opened his eyes. This time he no longer appeared from above Lin Ye's head, but walked out directly from his dantian and stood steadily on the ground.
Villa basement.
The intestine ghost stood beside the sofa like a nanny, and on the sofa, the ghost baby was staring at the cartoons on TV intently. But the next moment, the ghost baby's expression changed, and then his figure disappeared on the sofa in a flash.
"Hey, little ancestor, please don't run away."
When the intestinal ghost saw the ghost baby disappear, his face turned pale instantly. The evil star asked him to take good care of the ghost baby. If the ghost baby escaped, the evil star would chop him to death.
hall!
The ghost baby appeared, looked at Lin Ye's soul, and then walked towards the soul step by step. However, the soul raised its fist at the ghost baby, and the ghost baby stopped and dared not get closer, with an expression of aggrieved on its little face.
The little soul didn't care about the ghost baby's aggrieved look. His little face showed an extremely serious expression, and he seemed to be brewing something. His skin color began to turn a little blue and purple.
Next moment
The soul figure's lips moved but no sound came out.
It didn’t work the first time, so the little soul continued to move its lips a second time, but still couldn’t make any sound.
Although he closed his eyes at this moment, he clearly felt the actions of his soul, and his soul was about to make a sound.
Yuanshen pronunciation.
This is a level in the Hidden God Realm. Only by passing this level can the soul continue to grow. Otherwise, the soul will remain the same and will never be able to break through the Hidden God Realm.
This sound... is not the so-called language, but the sound of heaven.
The soul is not a human being, so it naturally does not speak human language.
Only the soul can go through this level by itself, he cannot help.
Once, twice...
The seventh time...
The expression of the little soul suddenly became listless. Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat. This was because the little soul had consumed too much energy. He wanted to call the little soul back immediately.
However, what Lin Ye did not expect was that the little soul was very stubborn and had no intention of coming back, and his lips were still moving.
The face of the little soul figure became paler and paler as its lips moved. Just when Lin Ye was about to forcibly recall the little soul figure, the ghost baby next to him suddenly uttered a syllable.
upbraid!
The little soul was stunned, and the next moment Lin Ye felt his whole brain shake, and a voice resounded in his mind, exploding like thunder.
At this moment, the scene around him changed. He was no longer in the villa, but in a vast world.
There is no wind, no rain and no sun.
It was dead silent.
But the next moment, there was a sudden sound explosion in the sky, and the whole world changed. Lin Ye could clearly feel the flow of spiritual energy around him, the cheerful breath exuded by the flowers, plants and trees, and the earth's energy constantly surging up and being absorbed by the plants and even the insects and birds in the grass in the process of rising.
But whether it is plants, insects, birds or animals, they only absorb a small part of the earth's energy. More of the earth's energy floats high into the sky, and then slowly condenses into clouds that change shapes in the sky.
Lin Ye looked at a seven-spotted ladybug on a green leaf. The ladybug was crawling slowly on the leaf. He could even see the dots on the ladybug's body and the thorns on its tiny legs.
As long as he wanted, he could magnify all the images to be extremely clear.
Flowers, birds, insects, animals, and everything in the entire world were displayed in front of Lin Ye with an extreme clarity beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
However, this special scene only lasted for three minutes. After three minutes, the scene around Lin Ye changed and his sight returned to the villa.
The little soul has disappeared, leaving only the ghost baby standing there alone.
"Take it to the basement and take good care of it."
Lin Ye looked towards the corner of the basement stairs, where the Intestine Ghost walked out angrily. He didn't dare to resist Lin Ye at all now. This guy's strength was soaring like a rocket, and it was uncomfortable to just get close to him.
The desire for revenge had long been extinguished.
There is no possibility of revenge in this life.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of this person."
Lin Ye didn't say much. He had a question that needed to be answered urgently, so he went back to his bedroom upstairs and chose to hang up and go to another world.
Another world!
"Brother, good news, our master has come out of seclusion."
As soon as he returned to the other world, Lin Ye saw Daogu running towards him excitedly to tell him the good news. However, after hearing it, Lin Ye not only did not smile, but he instantly became furious and walked towards the Taoist temple without saying a word.
Good guy, really good guy.
I had just solved the trouble at Qingfeng Temple when the old Taoist came out of retreat. I guess you are not in retreat but hiding from trouble.
Or maybe he didn't retreat at all, but was hiding in the bamboo forest, always paying attention to what was happening outside.
Lin Ye guessed that the Taoist priest was hiding on purpose, but you came out of seclusion as soon as you said you would, without even putting on an act. This seems to be disrespecting me, Lin Ye, as a human being.
“Junior brother…Junior brother!”
Daogu watched Lin Ye angrily walking towards the Taoist temple, and scratched his head in confusion. Shouldn't it be a happy thing that the master came out of seclusion? Why did his junior brother have such an expression?
Qingfeng Temple!
The Hall of the Three Pure Ones.
The old Taoist was wiping the dust on the altar with a whisk. When he heard footsteps outside the door, his expression froze. Then, when he turned around, an excited smile appeared on his face.
"My disciple Lin Ye, I miss you so much."
Lin Ye folded his arms and looked at the old Taoist with a sneer. The next moment, the Yutian Sword appeared again.
"Whether you can leave this hall today depends on whether the ancestors bless you, Master."
Taoist priest: ...
"rise!"
The flying sword was suspended in midair. The old Taoist's mouth twitched and he suddenly said, "Don't you want to know the sound of the heavenly way that your soul has mastered? Looking at the entire Canglan County, apart from your master, no one else can help you solve your doubts."
Lin Ye paused, and the flying sword disappeared.
"Master, I miss you so much too, come and hug me."
