Chapter 195 What does Zhou Shuren's words have to do with me, Lu Xun?
He deserves to be beheaded!
The Taoist's answer was very clear and concise, but it left Lin Ye a little confused.
Is it so careless?
Shouldn't you think about it carefully?
"Why, disciple, didn't you hear the master's answer?"
Seeing Lin Ye’s confused expression, the old Taoist put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, then walked behind the statue and took out a divine cape.
“Here!”
Lin Ye subconsciously took the robe that was originally draped on the statue. After receiving it, he looked at the old Taoist with some confusion.
"Is there any story behind this dress?" the old Taoist asked Lin Ye.
"This... this is the robe that our ancestor wore. We should treat him with the same respect as we would the ancestor."
The old Taoist nodded and said, "Yes, if I destroy this robe, would it be disrespectful to the ancestor?"
"Yes." Lin Ye's eyes lit up slightly, and he had some guesses about what the old Taoist was going to say.
"But you only destroyed a cloak. What does it have to do with the Grandmaster?"
The Taoist's words made Lin Ye suddenly realize, "Master, I understand."
"Well, I understand."
"Then Master, I will leave first."
Lin Ye left in a hurry. The old Taoist looked at Lin Ye's departing figure, carefully put the cloak back behind the statue, and bowed to the statue and said, "Grandmaster, please forgive me for my disrespectful behavior just now."
After apologizing, the old Taoist muttered in a low voice: "My disciple is really powerful. He has even started to fight with the river god. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for Qingfeng Temple to have such a disciple."
…
…
In the real world, Lin Ye returned from the other world and was still standing on the sixth step.
His gaze turned towards the main hall. Inside the hall, there was a statue of a giant black turtle. Below the four corners of the turtle were the Fuxi Bagua diagrams engraved on the altar.
"Just now, your soul disappeared for a split second, but then it recovered immediately. It's really strange."
This time Lin Ye saw clearly that the giant turtle statue's mouth opened and closed, and it was the giant turtle that was speaking.
Lin Ye did not explain, but this also made him a little alert. In his opinion, the teleportation between the two worlds would not be noticed, but now it seems that it may not be the case.
At least this giant turtle, the river god, noticed a clue.
"Your Excellency was the first to harm others, and your merits cannot make up for your faults. Even if I can let go, the Wen Qi outside the palace will never stop."
Lin Ye raised his left hand and formed a hand seal. As his hand seal changed, the pillar of light outside the hall began to tremble, and the green light became stronger and stronger, until it became so dense that it turned purple.
The entire River God Temple was shrouded in purple light.
"Lin Ye, don't do anything. The Third Pawn Shop can make any deal you want!"
Just when Lin Ye was about to take action, a figure appeared outside the light shield of the River God Temple. Hearing the voice, Lin Ye knew that it was the mysterious witch, Bai Jinye from the Third Pawn Shop.
After learning from the old Taoist about the mystery and power of the Third Pawn Shop, Lin Ye became very wary of Bai Jinye, but at the same time he also knew what a transaction at the Third Pawn Shop meant.
It means a temptation that even the strong cannot refuse.
Maybe there are fake third pawnshops in other worlds, but in the real world, Lin Ye believes that the third pawnshop is real, because Bai Jinye has no need to cheat, and the real world is now in the Dharma-Ending Age, which meets the conditions for the appearance of the third pawnshop.
It seemed that for some reason, Bai Jinye did not step into the River God Temple. He just stood outside the light shield and added: "The transactions of the Third Pawn Shop can be raised within the world."
Lin Ye was very excited, but his handprints did not stop. With a wave of his right hand, the purple light column seemed to be guided and smashed towards the River Temple.
This time, the light shield outside the River God Temple only lasted for three seconds, and cracks began to appear on the light shield, and finally it suddenly collapsed.
Without the light shield, the purple light column fell down with a loud bang. All the buildings in the entire River Temple were touched by the light column, and all the rubble and beams were turned into powder. Bai Jinye's expression became a little ugly, and Lin Ye watched the light column launch the final fierce attack on the giant turtle statue.
The giant turtle statue only lasted a few breaths under the light column before it was reduced to dust. The entire River God Temple was also completely reduced to ruins by the light column.
Above the ruins, there are only those spots of light floating in the air like children who have lost their homes.
Lin Ye looked at these dots of light, formed a hand seal with his right hand again, and shouted: "Concentrate!"
With the word "凝", these light spots began to slowly gather together, gathering more and more, and finally condensed into the shape of a turtle.
The little turtle swam in the air as if it were in the water, and soon swam to Lin Ye's side and climbed onto Lin Ye's palm.
"The God of Han River killed Wang Bo and took away his literary energy to become the God of River. This crime deserves death. However, during his reign, the God of Han River worked diligently and protected the people. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this, and the people are grateful for his merits. Now, I, Lin Ye, will kill off the evil body of the God of Han River and recast his position as the God of River. I hope Heaven and earth will approve it."
Lin Ye's voice was powerful and resolute. After returning to the other world, the old Taoist's words gave him a hint.
The river god is guilty and should be beheaded. His merits cannot offset his faults.
But at the same time, mistakes cannot erase merits.
What he killed was the turtle monster before he became the River God, not the River God.
To use a popular modern saying, what does what you, Lu Xun, said have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?
The spirit turtle condensed with light was lying on Lin Ye's palm. After a while, a thunder fell from the sky. The thunder was so powerful that it came straight towards Lin Ye. However, Lin Ye did not dodge. The thunder fell on his body but did not cause any harm to him. Instead, the turtle in Lin Ye's palm was directly knocked away by the thunder, and its shell cracked.
But the cracked turtle shell soon turned into light spots, and these light spots condensed into a turtle shell again.
boom!
The moment the turtle shell was formed, thunder struck again and the turtle shell shattered into pieces again.
This back and forth is repeated.
Lin Ye looked at the scene in front of him with some emotion. The turtle demon's position as a god was not righteous, so naturally he would not be recognized by Heaven. This was why Heaven wanted to destroy this river god.
But the turtle demon has served as the river god over the years and has saved many people. The merits accumulated by these people are fighting against the laws of nature.
One, two...
Finally, the light became dimmer and dimmer. Seeing this, Lin Ye sighed. After all, human power could not compete with the laws of nature.
Seeing that the spirit turtle was about to be completely turned into ashes by the thunder, Bai Jinye, who had been standing outside the River God Temple and watching , snorted coldly. A yellow flag appeared in his hand. As he raised his hand, the yellow flag flew out and began to spin in the sky.
At the same time, the vegetation on both sides of the Ganjiang River seemed to sense something. A little green light floated out from these plants, heading towards the Ganjiang River, and finally floated in front of the River God Temple and onto the spirit turtle.
Lin Ye looked back at Bai Jinye in some surprise. He had forgotten this point. The grace of the river god was not only for the people, but also for the animals and plants on both sides of the river. If the river flooded, these animals and plants would also suffer.
boom!
The thunder fell again, but this time with the addition of the green light, the turtle shell did not shatter, and the cracks that appeared were quickly integrated and restored by the green light.
Three consecutive thunders, all of which were taken.
Lin Ye looked up at the sky. The dark clouds dissipated and the entire sky became clear again.
"Although the Way of Heaven is strong, all living beings are not powerless to resist."
Lin Ye whispered, and then he saw the spirit turtle crawling around the River God Temple, and finally crawling back to Lin Ye, standing on its front legs, and actually arched its claws towards Lin Ye, and then swam into the river and disappeared.
The entire ruins of the River Temple were soon submerged by the river water.
On the river, only Lin Ye and Bai Jinye were left.
"Ahem, Brother Bai, you spoke too late just now. It was too late for me to stop. I wonder what Brother Bai wanted to talk to me about?"
Bai Jinye raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, you did a good job."
Lin Ye's mouth twitched, pretending that he couldn't hear Bai Jinye's hidden meaning, and said modestly: "It's just my job."
"In the last days of the Dharma, the gods disappeared. Do you know that if you keep this river god, you may be able to find the secret of the gods' disappearance and even restore the heyday of cultivation."
"I haven't really thought about this. How about I catch the river god now?"
Lin Ye looked apologetic but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. There was nothing wrong with the Dharma Ending Age. At least he could be a big boss now. If he really wanted to create some kind of god or something, he would have to keep his tail between his legs.
As for capturing the river god, that is pure nonsense.
Although the River God did not die in the end and still retained his position as the River God, his original demon consciousness was cut off. At this moment, the River God was almost like a child whose intelligence was just beginning to awaken. He could not remember anything about the past. Only when he completed his practice again and returned to the position of the River God, would he recover his previous memories, but that would take a long time.
It’s similar to the situation in stories about gods and immortals who were demoted to the mortal world and reincarnated as mortals.
Bai Jinye did not answer, but just looked at Lin Ye jokingly. Lin Ye chuckled. Since the other party did not respond, he did not continue this topic.
"To be honest, I'm quite curious about you. An ordinary person has acquired decent strength in just a few months. Even if he enters the Sealed Realm, it is impossible to do this except for those Sealed Realms. And you can't enter those Sealed Realms."
Bai Jinye stared at Lin Ye for a long time, with an interested look on his face, but then he sighed and said, " Unfortunately , there is nothing I can do. According to the rules of the pawnshop, you are not allowed to interfere in other people's affairs, unless they are doing business with the pawnshop. Otherwise, how about you trade with me once?"
"No need for that. I am very satisfied with my current life and I don't want anything else."
Seeing Bai Jinyi staring at him with an expression of curiosity like a baby, Lin Ye directly refused. It was fine as long as the pawnshop had rules. He would never do business with a pawnshop in his life.
