Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 125 Goodbye, Zhong Ying
"The karma of this life has been eliminated, and I will be reborn in the next life!"
Lin Qianxing finished reciting the last sentence of the mantra for salvation, symbolizing that Shi Die was saved again.
But this time, she was able to preserve her body intact.
Even though her soul may have already dissipated between heaven and earth, this body will turn into earth in a hundred years.
But at least the living would feel that she retained the last bit of decency.
Lin Qianxing spent some time patiently explaining to the villagers all the evil deeds Wang Hong had done. With the evidence of the remains of the four zombies, Shi Die finally gained the understanding of the villagers. They began to feel pity for her life and hate Wang Hong, the evil sorcerer.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qianxing felt a little emotional.
Villagers lack knowledge and cognition, and do not have much ability to think subjectively. Many times they just follow the crowd and easily believe others.
If there had been someone who could have guided these things correctly at the beginning, would Shi Die have committed suicide?
Maybe it will happen. After all, with the evil sorcerer Wang Hong around, Shi Die's death is almost inevitable.
But at least she wouldn't have such deep resentment before she died.
Her parents would not have harbored such great malice towards her in the beginning.
People’s hearts are complicated, but sometimes they are so simple.
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing ended his thoughts, packed up his things, took the money for the ritual from Shi You, and set out on the journey back to the Taoist temple in a leisurely manner.
Without Shi You's burden, Lin Qianxing only took half a day to return to the Taoist temple.
This was when he was traveling at a leisurely pace. If he went at full speed, he could complete the journey in at most fifteen minutes.
After returning to the Taoist temple, he briefly reported the matter to Gongsun Zhan as usual, but this time Lin Qianxing did not hand over the Jiaoshan Order to Gongsun Zhan.
He will find this thing useful if he keeps it, as it is related to future plans, so he cannot give it to Gongsun Zhan for the time being.
After Gongsun Zhan learned that Lin Qianxing easily killed Wang Hong, he also seemed a little self-doubting, thinking that there was something wrong with his own education method.
However, before Gongsun Zhan had time to doubt himself, Lin Qianxing said, "Master, this time when I went down the mountain, I gained a lot of insights and my cultivation has improved greatly. I beg you to allow me to go down the mountain to train for a few years and improve my cultivation."
Gongsun Zhan glanced at Lin Qianxing and fell into silence.
Based on his heart, he thought that letting Lin Qianxing go out for training might be a good thing for him, but Lin Qianxing's cultivation was still too low, so he was still a little worried.
" I don't object to your going down the mountain to gain experience, but your cultivation is still a little low now, and I am a little worried." Gongsun Zhan said hesitantly.
Just when Lin Qianxing thought Gongsun Zhan was going to refuse, Gongsun Zhan said, "Forget it. You take the Demon-Slaying Whisk with you. Also take the two [Escape Spell] jade talismans and the [Illusive Blade Spell] jade talisman that your master left behind. If you encounter a strong enemy, it should be enough to save your life."
Afterwards, Gongsun Zhan returned to the bedroom, took out three jade talismans and handed them to Lin Qianxing.
These three jade talismans are about the size of a palm and are round in shape. They are densely engraved with various mysterious lines. The flashing light from time to time shows that they are full of magical power. Once activated, they can directly release the corresponding spells.
"This jade talisman was left by your master. At that time, he was worried that my cultivation was too shallow and I could not protect the Taoist tradition of Sanbao Temple. Before he went to the underworld, he took great pains to leave me hundreds of jade talismans made of powerful spells. I used up most of them when I was young to subdue demons and monsters. Now only these three are left. I had planned to keep them as a souvenir, but now it seems that you should take them." Gongsun Zhan said with a hint of emotion in his tone.
Lin Qianxing looked at Gongsun Zhan with a strange expression.
Hundreds of them were used up until only three were left?
How wild was his master when he was young?
Although he complained in his heart, Lin Qianxing still politely thanked Gongsun Zhan, then carefully put away the three jade talismans.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing packed up his things and went down the mountain.
His target was none other than the Yushan Sect.
If he remembered correctly, during his last trip, he finished the ritual in Shijia Village and returned to the Taoist temple to report half a month later, he heard that Zhong Ying had accidentally fallen and injured his body.
So he planned to stop this from happening in advance, and asked Feng Yiyin to help him engrave the body spell.
This was the beginning of their bond.
If it weren't for this incident, Lin Qianxing might not have gone to Yushan Sect to engrave the body spell, met Zhong Ying, and made an agreement to teach her the [Heavenly Thunder Curse].
There wouldn't have been so many things that happened later.
Thinking back on it now, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but laugh.
As he laughed, a trace of sadness appeared on Lin Qianxing's face.
At the end of their last trip, Zhong Ying’s death really made him feel sad.
This silly girl is so stubborn and too stubborn.
She could have just left, but she had to come back to save him.
Even though Gongsun Zhan and Lei Sheng failed one after another, she still bravely attacked the Ghost Emperor.
He was trying to hit a rock with an egg, doing it despite knowing it was impossible, without any fear or retreat from beginning to end.
Only she could do such a reckless thing.
"She was born to be a Vajra Mantra Master!" Lin Qianxing said with emotion.
Lin Qianxing traveled very fast, but after all, his cultivation was still low, so it would take some time for him to reach Yushan.
But he didn't care, and even intentionally cleared out some wandering ghosts on the way to gain some spell points.
According to Lin Qianxing's own estimation, at this speed, he should be able to reach Yushan within ten days.
During this period of time, Zhong Ying might not have learned the [Light Body Spell] yet, so there was no question of her falling off the cliff.
Soon, ten days passed.
At this time, Lin Qianxing had already arrived at the foot of the Yushan Sect.
Perhaps thanks to his luck attribute of 101, Lin Qianxing directly obtained more than 4,000 spell points in these ten days.
With his own hard work and practice, he will not be far from mastering the [Soul Gathering Mantra] to a level where he can master it with ease.
It was just dawn at this time. When Lin Qianxing was wondering whether it would be a bad idea to go to the mountain to pay homage so early, he suddenly saw a light purple figure leaping between the cliffs not far away.
Although that figure was very different from Zhong Ying more than three years later, Lin Qianxing still recognized the other person's identity at first sight.
This was none other than the twelve-year-old Zhong Ying.
Lin Qianxing didn't expect that she had learned the [Light Body Spell] so early. Just looking at her practice posture, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but worry for her.
Too reckless. He is obviously not very skilled yet, but he always jumps to steep places where it is difficult to gain leverage.
Suddenly, Zhong Ying seemed to be exhausted. She stepped on empty air and began to fall freely, falling downwards.
“Ah~!”
"What a coincidence?"
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing didn't care to be surprised. He chanted a spell, using the [Light Body Spell] to bless himself and the [Wind Spell] to blow on himself, and his body shot out like lightning.
whoosh!
With the help of the [Heaven and Earth Spell Master] plug-in, even if he had only just mastered the [Wind Calling Spell], its power was like a strong wind. In addition, Lin Qianxing's basic attributes were high, and he also added a [Light Body Spell]. In a blink of an eye, Lin Qianxing had crossed hundreds of meters and came under Zhong Ying. Then he exerted force with his legs, jumped up, and caught Zhong Ying directly in his arms.
At this moment, the two looked at each other. Zhong Ying was a little dazed, wondering why she had no impression of such a handsome senior brother.
Lin Qianxing landed lightly on the ground, put Zhong Ying down gently, and said with a gentle smile: "Junior sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, senior brother." Zhong Ying shook her head .
"It's just a small favor. I hope you're okay, Junior Sister." Lin Qianxing nodded and reminded her, "Junior Sister, you are not yet proficient in spells. You need to be careful when practicing and not be reckless. Otherwise, you will easily fall and get hurt."
"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother." Zhong Ying humbly accepted Lin Qianxing's teachings, and then she asked, "By the way, Senior Brother, what is your name? Which elder's disciple are you?"
"My name is Lin Qianxing. I am not from your Yushan Sect, but a true disciple of the Sanbao Temple on Mount Lu. My master is Gongsun Zhan, the True Master of Sanbao." Lin Qianxing smiled and said, "I wonder what your name is, Junior Sister? Who is your master?"
"My name is Zhong Ying, and my master is Angry Lotus Vajra Feng Yiyin." Hearing this, Zhong Ying also introduced herself.
"It turns out that Junior Sister Zhong is the disciple of Uncle-Master Feng. No wonder she is so talented and can learn the [Light Body Spell] at such a young age." Lin Qianxing pretended to be enlightened.
Zhong Ying felt a little embarrassed by Lin Qianxing's praise, but she was still young and didn't know the ways of the world, nor did she know how to flatter each other in business, so she could only change the subject awkwardly and said, "Brother Lin, what are you doing here in Yushan Sect? I'm very familiar with this place. You can ask me any questions you have, and I'm sure I can help."
"I really need Junior Sister Zhong's help with this matter." Lin Qianxing said, "I came here to visit Uncle Feng. I wonder if Junior Sister Zhong can introduce him to me?"
"Of course, senior brother, come with me!" When Zhong Ying heard about this, he quickly grabbed Lin Qianxing's hand and ran towards the mountain path of Yushan Sect.
Then, Lin Qianxing was hastily led by Zhong Ying to the outside of Feng Yiyin's bedroom. The disciples on duty along the way saw that it was Zhong Ying and did not stop him.
Without waiting for Lin Qianxing to speak, Zhong Ying hurriedly pushed open the door of Feng Yiyin's bedroom, waking up Feng Yiyin who was still sleeping.
Then Lin Qianxing witnessed the naughty kid being beaten.
"Ah? You dare to run to the Cliff of Broken Souls to practice the [Light Body Spell]? Do you want to live? Stretch out your hands!" Feng Yiyin said to Zhong Ying while holding a ruler about one meter long.
"I was worried about disturbing my senior brothers and sisters from resting! And I'm fine, right? Ouch!"
While Zhong Ying was explaining, she slowly stretched out her hand, but as soon as she did so, Feng Yiyin slapped her hard on the palm.
"Are you okay? This time it was your Senior Brother Lin who saved you, what about next time?"
"Next time I will be more skilled and will never make mistakes again. Ouch... Ouch... It hurts... Master... Please be gentle..."
"Do you feel the pain now? Be gentler!! Go back and reflect on your mistakes. I will deal with you later!!"
…
Feng Yiyin still had to consider Lin Qianxing being here, so he just casually hit Zhong Ying's palm twice with a ruler and let the matter go.
Then she tidied her appearance, looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "I'm sorry for not disciplining you strictly. Junior Brother Lin, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
"The fact that Junior Sister Zhong Ying can remain innocent and lively doesn't it just prove that you, Uncle Feng, have taught her well? If all the disciples were rigid and dull and had lost their spiritual energy, there would probably be no further progress in the cultivation world in the future," Lin Qianxing responded.
"Okay, there's no need to be polite. You've come all the way here, so I'm sure you didn't come here to chat with me. Just tell me what you want to say. Since you saved Zhong Ying, anything can be discussed." Feng Yiyin said.
"It's not a big deal." Lin Qianxing said politely to Feng Yiyin, "It's just that my nephew hopes that my uncle can help him engrave a body spell."
