Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it had been three years since I left the Black Forest. Lin Xiu is now ten years old, and he has grown very fast, almost reaching the height of a woman's shoulders.

Except for going out hunting, he has always stayed in Lin Village and lived an ordinary life. Two years ago, he broke through to the Shaping God Realm. After two years of adjustment and training, he is almost infinitely close to the state of Nirvana.

"Luo Feng, Liu Lang, Feng Qingwu, are you okay?"

He was lying alone on the back hill of Lin Village, looking at the drifting clouds in the sky, and one picture after another appeared in his mind.

"Liu Lang should have broken through to the Nirvana realm a long time ago, and now he is probably doing his old job again, abducting and deceiving!"

"I don't know where Luo Feng was teleported, I hope he is still in that ruins, so that he can advance to the middle court of Tianxiang Academy. ”

"The Wind Dances ......"

There was an extra figure in his field of vision, and the man was dressed in red, and his red pupils stared at him without blinking, like a little elf.

......

"Little brat, it's time to eat!"

Da Zhuang shouted towards the back mountain from afar. After Lin Xiu answered, he went down the mountain.

"I hope you're all okay! I'll definitely find you when I get a chance!"

......

In the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.

He had been out many times over the years, for months at a time, and he wanted to find out who had been in the first place. However, it was as if they had evaporated from the world, and there was no news of the whole of Meaux.

Since Lin Xiu sat in Lin Village, every house was full of air-dried meat in front of their doors, and some families even raised a lot of game, and the village was more prosperous than ever.

A year ago, the old patriarch and the second grandfather Lin Meng passed away one after another, and Lin Xiu found them a lot of life-prolonging medicines, but they still couldn't keep them.

But the two brothers walked away with a smile and witnessed the prosperity of the village, and nothing made them happier than this.

After the old patriarch left, Lin Fei became the patriarch. Lin Hu took advantage of the fact that he was still young, coupled with the medicinal herbs provided by Lin Xiu, his body became more and more hardened, and he was still participating in the hunt. But it was his son who led the hunting team, Da Zhuang.

Whenever he had time, Lin Xiu would teach the people in the village how to practice, and thanks to this, the village would add a monk every few years.

"Uncle Xiu, when will you come back!"

Hundreds of villagers gathered in front of Lin Village, who had come to see off Lin Xiu, because he was about to embark on a journey to find his old friend.

A two- or three-year-old girl hugged Lin Xiu's thigh tightly and asked reluctantly.

She is the daughter of the snot baby Lin Ya, in fact, most of the children of Lin Xiu's era are married and have children, only he is himself, and he still has no home.

"Little girl, Uncle Xiu will be back soon and bring you a lot of delicious berries. Lin Xiu comforted.

"Niuniu doesn't want berries, Niuniu wants Uncle Xiu to come back quickly and teach Niuniu spells!"

Lin Xiu didn't speak, he remembered himself when he was a child. Whenever Lin Fei went out hunting, why wasn't he like this?

"Xiu'er, come back early, that kid has already turned into Nirvana Realm three times, so the village doesn't have to worry. Lin Hu, who had gray temples, said on the side, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Well, Uncle Tiger, remember to remind Brother Zhuang, no matter what the reason, don't go deep into the mountains and forests. Lin Xiu instructed.

Although his current realm had long surpassed the Nirvana realm, he still hadn't set foot in that forest. After all, the Geocentric Fire Spider is an old monster that has lived for tens of thousands of years, and it is absolutely impossible to fight him unless necessary.

After a brief explanation, Lin Xiu embarked on the journey again. On the back mountain, Lin Fei looked at the figure, and did not feel the melancholy of parting, but smiled heartily.

......

The evening sun shines through the clouds and refracts onto a high mountain cliff. At the top of the cliff stood a middle-aged man, his silhouette was very handsome, but his face was very haggard, with inexplicable vicissitudes.

"It's been more than 100 years, where are you, and why can't I find you?"

His words were full of sadness, but they did not receive a response from anyone. This person is Lin Xiu, who is struggling to find his old man.

Since the last time he left Lin Village, he had traveled through the entire Infinite Realm, and at the same time, he had also crossed the Hell, the Nine Shadows, and many other forbidden places alone, but those figures never appeared.

In the same year, he returned to Lin Village.

......

"Whoever! I'm not welcome to take a step further. ”

In front of a quaint village, a teenage boy wrapped in tiger skin pinched a sharp animal bone in his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"I'm Lin Xiu!"

"Lin Xiu, you are also surnamed Lin, wait a minute, you are Lin Xiu's great-ancestor?"

"What happened in the village, why are there so many people suddenly missing?" Lin Xiu's eyes were like torches, and his spiritual power instantly covered the entire village.

"Is it really you? Woo, you're finally back. A month ago, the mercenary group in Mo City came here to catch a nine-colored sparrow, but it had already been caught by his father and several clan uncles, and he originally planned to give it to that group of people in order not to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, they deceived people too much, but injured several clan uncles, and only after the last few grandfathers came, they blew them away!"

"I thought it would be over, but then they brought in some very powerful old men and almost slaughtered the whole village. It was Lin Zhuang and Lin Ya, the two great-ancestors, who fought desperately to drive those people away. However, the two great-ancestors also died of serious injuries and passed away just a few days ago!"

The boy seemed to have found someone to talk to, and told him everything about the month.

"Do you know where they came from?" Lin Xiuqiang asked with anger in his temper.

"I don't know, I just remember that the people of the mercenary group called those two old men "Mo Lao"!"

"Mo family!" Lin Xiu said coldly.

When he came to the graves on the mountain behind Lin Village, the first thing he saw was the tombstones of the patriarch Lin Ruhai and the second grandfather Lin Meng, followed by Lin Fei, Lin Hu and other clan uncles, and then Da Zhuang, Snot Baby and their descendants.

"I ......"

He wanted to say something, but he always felt a big rock hanging over his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

When he walked to Lin Fei's tombstone, he still couldn't help crying, this uncle who had cared for him since he was a child filled the void in his family affection. A monk's best years are not the innocence of the unstained red dust before the practice?

Lin Xiu gently stroked the already mottled tombstone, tears couldn't stop flowing, and there seemed to be a knife in his abdomen, constantly stirring.

"Ahh

He raised his head to the sky and roared, and within a radius of ten miles, all the birds were shaken down. The roar spread far away, almost resounding throughout half of Cangzhou City.

"Everybody's dead. Everybody's dead!"

After walking for more than a hundred years, he has been alone for more than a hundred years, and the loneliness in his heart is becoming more and more intense, and now even the relatives in the village have left one after another, and the vast world has no connection with him.

He sat alone in front of Lin Fei's grave, facing the sunset and the rising sun, with gray hair all night, and the whole person seemed to age a lot in an instant. He sat there stupidly without the spirit, motionless.

Looking closely, I saw a trace of blood flowing from the corners of his eyes, the blood was black and pure, without a trace of impurities. At the same time, his pupils were gradually changing, and there were nine edges and corners around his pitch-black pupils, each of which seemed to be connected to a piece of heaven and earth, showing a vortex.

On this day, many people died in Meaux, and all the dead had two striking similarities, one was that they all had round eyes when they died, as if they were scared to death, and the other was that they all had the surname "Mo".

......

I don't know how long it has been, it may be a snap of a finger, or it may be a hundred years in a hurry.

On the hill behind Lin Village, an old man sat quietly cross-legged, not moving. He has white hair and snow, without a single black thread, he is Lin Xiu.

Since his last return, he has never left Lin Village, and has been sitting cross-legged on the back mountain, regardless of the wind and rain.

Over the years, Lin Village has changed for many generations, and the ethnic group has gradually become much larger, and it has long made up for the changes of the year.

There has always been a legend in the village that the ancestor on the back mountain is a god who has been guarding Lin Village.

"Is this the end of this life?" he said quietly, opening his eyes.

This is the first time he has spoken in hundreds of years, and now his skin is as old as the dry earth, and his whole person is like a candle in the wind, swaying with the wind.

Brush!

His figure appeared in the black forest in an instant in the next second, like a spatial teleportation, and it could scare people to death when he said it.

"You're finally here!"

After sensing Lin Xiu, the Earth Core Fire Spider slowly appeared in Lin Xiu's field of vision. He was still the same as ever, and the years had not left a trace on him.

"You were infected by this black substance of your own volition. Lin Xiu spoke.

The Earth Core Fire Spider stared at the old Lin Xiu in front of him in surprise, he didn't understand how the latter knew.

"You'd love to get your hands on the legacy of the coffin. Lin Xiu said again.

The Earth's Heart Fire Spider was furious, and suddenly became ruthless, and his left fist swung with Sen Ran's mana, striking vertically into Lin Xiu's jaw. Something unexpected happened, only to see Lin Xiu appear behind the Earth Heart Fire Spider in the next moment.

"Longevity, strength, power, is it really that important? Keep you alive for tens of thousands of years. He seemed to sigh and ask questions at the same time.

"Don't pretend to be high, as a monk, you are enough to explain everything, do you want me to teach you?"

"Monk?" Lin Xiu asked himself.

"Isn't it? The monk is a symbol of chasing desire. Any monk in the world, no matter what race or status, immortality, power, and power will be his ultimate desire. ”

"You have lost yourself on the path of the monk, and now you are sinking deeper and deeper. Lin Xiu said solemnly.

"You're wrong, this path has been like this from the beginning, it will only make people continue to fall in, and there is no possibility of coming out from it!"

Phew!

The Earth Core Fire Spider spat out a sword and attacked Lin Xiu. The sword seems to be unbreakable, piercing through everything.

As soon as it reached Lin Xiu's eyes, it was frozen by an inexplicable force, and from the tip of the sword to the hilt, it gradually turned into powder.

"These eyes ......"

The Earth Core Fire Spider stared at Lin Xiu's eyes in horror, and at this moment, around his pupils, nine edges and corners were absorbed, which was extremely mysterious.

"Is it? A guy like you, who has never experienced family affection, no matter how long he lives, can only live as a walking corpse. Lin Xiu said coldly.

"Who are you, where are you from?" roared the Geocentric Fire Spider, as if it had seen a great terror, and its eyes were terrified.

"My birth? I used to ask myself this question every day, but now, I don't need to!"

"You're here to tell me this?"

The Earth's Fire Spider didn't move anymore, and he felt as if everything about himself was being seen through under those eyes. At the same time, he wondered, only a few hundred years have passed, and the little guy who used to be like an ant has grown to this point? Even he, an old guy who has lived for tens of thousands of years, will be jealous of Zen.

"That's probably it, the cause and effect of the past, it's time to go!"

He walked out step by step, very slowly, but as a gray-haired old man, it all seemed normal!

"You and I are working together to open that witch coffin, not only to help me, but also to help you. ”

The Earth's Core Fire Spider shouted to Lin Xiu, the current Lin Xiu has made him unable to see through, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to force him to open the witch coffin.

"Help me, how can you help? Can those people really come back? When you really understand a person's desires, maybe you won't say that!"

Sou!

His figure flickered, and he disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

"Lin Xiu, don't forget that you are a monk, and a monk who is emotionally moved is destined to have no good end. ”

His voice echoed in the forest, but it didn't usher in Lin Xiu's response.

......

After another three hundred years, Lin Xiu has been sitting on the back mountain, silently guarding Lin Village.

Lin Village has been developed for hundreds of years and has become more and more prosperous. After that, the mountain had long been cordoned off, and no one could approach it except the village chief, because their "ancestors" inhabited there.

Now Lin Xiu has finally reached the point where the oil has run out, and his body, which was as strong as real gold, has also decayed, but he has never been to the black forest, pursuing the so-called immortality.

"I've always heard the Buddhists say, 'Death is also a kind of liberation,' and now I realize that it's so real. I just don't know if there is a legendary Pure Land in this world, where the dead are enshrined. If there is one......

The moment had become long, and he remembered many faces, though some of them were already strange. He slowly closed his eyes, his soul burning at a rapid pace, a sign of feathering.

His shell was slowly disappearing, turning into countless starlight that scattered with the wind.

After the people of Lin Village felt the change, they rushed to the back mountain. When they saw Lin Xiu, who was disappearing, they hurriedly knelt down and worshipped, very pious.

......

Drip, drip, drip

When Lin Xiu woke up, he found himself lying on a small stream, and he looked around and saw a magnificent Linglong Pagoda sitting in front of him. This is the spiritual sea when he broke into the pagoda! The stream is his spiritual fluid

He lay on his stomach on the spiritual fluid, looking at himself in a daze, it was the face of a young child, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"After a lifetime, I didn't expect to return to the starting point in the end. ”

He got up and walked to the Linglong Tower, and went in without hesitation, because he felt its calling.

The first floor was still like that, Lin Xiu didn't linger long, and walked towards the second floor. In his previous life, he had tried to enter the third layer many times, but all failed. However, when he stepped on the second layer again, the barrier between the two layers had mysteriously disappeared without warning.

Lin Xiu didn't think much about it, he strode over and ran directly to the third layer.

Unlike what he had imagined, in the third floor, there was nothing but two large characters carved vigorously and powerfully on the stone wall.

"The right way!"
