Chapter 52: Wake Up
The dark wooden door had already been wrapped in white cloth, and a big word "Dian" in front of the hall, as well as the white filial piety clothes placed on the side, all told Lin Liang what happened here.
Lin Liang numbly walked towards the hall step by step, looking at the people in the coffin. The familiar face came into view, and the old man lay quietly in the coffin, without opening his eyes, nor suddenly jumping out and laughing to scare Lin Liang, just lying like this.
"Old man, old man, wake up!" Lin Liang shook the old man's body vigorously, as if trying to make the old man with his eyes closed open his eyes, but all this had no effect. No matter what Lin Liang did, the old man always lay quietly in the coffin, just quietly, quietly.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Liang finally stopped shaking the old man, and he seemed to have begun to accept this fact. Walking slowly to the edge of the mourning hall, Lin Liang looked at the neatly placed white filial piety clothes in a daze. Glancing back at the old man lying in the coffin, Lin Liang put on a white filial piety robe without hesitation, walked to the coffin, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
"Old man, I, Lin Liang, have always been alone since I was a child, I can't cultivate, and I don't have any friends to talk to. Until you show up!"
Lin Liang paused for a moment and continued: "Actually, I've always blamed myself, what I should have stayed when I slaughtered Zhen was that you made me able to cultivate and gave me a whole new world and life. Do you know that, old man, every time you trick me into buying wine and say that you want to teach me how to cultivate, in fact, I know that you were just lying to me at that time, but I am still very happy because I have a friend, an old friend!"
"In the two years after I escaped, I was rescued by an old man, and at that time, in the dead of night, I often wondered, if I hadn't gone out to practice at that time, and I hadn't escaped in the end, would I be able to be with those kind townspeople and Caijuan now?"
"This thought has been lingering in my heart for a long time, and I didn't understand it until I joined the Life and Destruction Sect. I thought of the injustice that Lao Tan encountered, the unwillingness of Lao Tan to die, and the fact that the shopkeeper had only one breath left, but he still gave me the jade pendant with a smile and let me escape...... I understand, I can't die, now I don't live for myself, I carry the unwillingness and hatred of the whole town on my shoulders, I need strength!"
"Although I know that all that I see now is fake!" As soon as Lin Liang's words fell, the space around him shook violently, as if it was about to shatter. Lin Liang didn't care about this, and continued: "Let me wear filial piety for you once and give you a ride!"
Saying that, Lin Liang took out a wine gourd, unscrewed the gourd with a smile and sprinkled the wine on the old man's body, and muttered: "I know that you like to drink, this gourd wine can be regarded as a send-off for you!"
Squeak ~ squeak!
The lid of the coffin was slowly pushed shut, and Lin Liang laughed and lifted the coffin on his shoulder, and walked towards the outside of the town. No one noticed that a tear had inadvertently slipped to the ground. And after Lin Liang left with the coffin, the space here began to shatter, and the entire Stone Ghost Town began to dissipate.
In the woodland outside the town, Lin Liang carried the coffin and looked back at the stone ghost town that had dissipated as if it had never appeared, without any hesitation in his heart, but accelerated his pace and walked towards the destination.
However, the moment Lin Liang turned around, his eyes closed involuntarily, and the old man's coffin also dissipated with the space here.
Halfway up the main peak, He Yan looked at the time, looked at the people who stopped on the road with different expressions, and sneered again in his heart, "It seems that the hearts of these disciples are not good, I want to know how Han Sheng is going to end up like this!"
The ability of the Dream Beast He Yan had been taught, at that time, he who had cultivated to the Spirit Vein Realm was entangled by a Dream Beast, and he was trapped in the depths of his heart for two days and two nights, and finally came to his senses with the help of others. With the cultivation of these disciples, although these dream beasts were only young children, and their strength was not as good as one-tenth of the one he encountered, the strength of their hearts had nothing to do with cultivation! However, in the next second, He Yan's eyes widened suddenly.
Lin Liang opened his closed eyes and looked at the familiar environment in front of him, but he didn't have any joy. I touched the place where the coffin was originally carried, but it was already empty. His eyes involuntarily shed tears, and he walked towards the halfway up the mountain step by step.
As Lin Liang moved forward, slowly some disciples also opened their eyes, and followed Lin Liang step by step towards the halfway up the mountain, the eagerness and desire in their eyes had long since dissipated, replaced by the persistence in their hearts.
At the top of the main peak, a trace of joy welled up on Han Sheng's face when he saw this, and he muttered in his mouth: "These people will all be the future pillars of my Life and Destruction Sect, thank you for the blessing of your ancestors!" In fact, what He Yan didn't know was that these Dream Beasts of the Life and Destruction Sect were the most special of the Dream Beasts, and it could make people face their hearts and strengthen their hearts!
If there is no strong heart to control the power, the warrior will sooner or later indulge in the power and be controlled by the power, and the final outcome can be imagined
Halfway up the mountainside, He Yan stared blankly at the people standing in front of him, turned his head and glanced at the incense inserted, which had just burned out. Tightening his mind, He Yan shouted to the disciples who were still on the road: "The first part of the trial has ended, and you have lost your chance!"
Countless disciples who were still on the road were stunned, and immediately left the main peak automatically, they understood the reason for their failure, Xu Ruoxin and the disciple who threatened to finish in half an hour were also among them. The former's eyes were full of confusion, and the pride on his face had disappeared, while the latter gritted his teeth and scolded He Yan angrily.
"It seems that Senior Brother Lin has successfully passed the first part of the trial!" Lei Que said with a smile, although he couldn't see what the first part of the trial had made these outer disciples experience, but at present, it seemed that Lin Liang had obviously succeeded!
Different from Lei Que's relaxation, Su Qian's brows were furrowed even tighter, from the faces of those disciples who left, Su Qian actually saw all kinds of emotions, some perseverance, some hatred, but the most was fear! It turned out that when Su Qian and the others didn't pay attention, He Yun disappeared unconsciously!
Counting the disciples who climbed halfway up the mountain, He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there were not many, there were only thirteen people. At that moment, he said loudly: "First of all, congratulations on passing the first part of the trial and stepping into the inner disciple with one foot. Now I'm going to talk about the second part of the trial!"
"The second part of the trial is just around the corner, there are countless passages halfway up the main peak, and at the end of each passage there is a fourth-layer demon beast in the spirit quenching realm, what you have to do is to choose a passage to enter, and after successfully defeating the demon beast, take the characteristics of its body and hand it over to me, even if you have completed the trial, as for the ranking, it is determined in the order of the backhand task, that is, the first one to come out is the first place, and so on!"
"Of course, even if you are the last one to come out, as long as you succeed in bringing the proof out, you will be considered to have completed this inner door trial. He Yan paused and said loudly: "Now, the second part of the inner door trial is officially opened, please come in!"
Lin Liang glanced back at the people behind him, and Li Qing was also among them. Without saying a word at the moment, he went straight into the passage, chose a path at random, and walked forward step by step.
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, the remaining twelve people also entered the passage one after another, each running in one direction. Only Li Qing, when he stepped into the passage, took a deep look at He Yan, who was facing away from the passage.
The winding passage was long and dark, and I don't know why, I actually had a familiar feeling for this dark Lin Liang, as if he belonged to the darkness in the first place.
Finally, Lin Liang came to the end of the passage, but the scene in front of him made Lin Liang frown.
At the end of the path illuminated by the lights, the corpse of a demon beast was lying on the ground, with a sharp sword stuck in its head, and blood flowed on the ground under Lin Liang's feet.
