Chapter 40: The Fourth Floor

On the stone table were twelve thumb-sized jade slips, each of which had a creature looming over it.

They are Guiren, Beetle Snake, Vermilion Bird, Liuhe, Gou Chen, Qinglong, Sky, White Tiger, Taichang, Xuanwu, Taiyin, and Tianhou.

When Lin He had not yet embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, in a small village, he heard his father Lin Shan speak.

These twelve creatures are called the Twelve Heavenly Generals, also known as the Twelve Heavenly Officials. Originating from the astrological aspects around the North Star. It is mainly used in the "big six" in divination, as one of the reference conditions for predicting the success or failure of things.

Since Lin Shan's knowledge is limited, his understanding of this is also the point.

As for the purpose of these twelve jade slips, Lin He also had no clue at this time.

According to what his father once said, could it be that he used these twelve jade slips to predict good luck and evil?

Lin He shook his head, he felt that these twelve jade slips should not be used like this.

Putting these twelve jade slips into the Qiankun bag, Lin He came to the futon.

Standing in front of the futon, Lin He looked at the humanoid white jade statue in front of him, and he felt that he might be able to get some answers from this place.

Although he couldn't see the face of this stone statue clearly, Lin He guessed that this statue might be carved by an immortal!

Thinking of this, Lin He's face couldn't help but be heavy, and at this moment, a lot of speculation appeared in his heart.

Is this white jade statue the one who built the Soul Suppression Tower, or the owner of the Soul Suppression Tower?

If so, why did you leave the Soul Suppression Tower here, and why did you wipe out all the people in Illusory City here, making them ghosts?

If not, then what happened to this Soul Tower? Where is its owner now, alive or dead······

······

Lin He couldn't figure it out all this. What is the intention of all this, Lin He doesn't want to speculate too much at this time.

The question of such height is not something that only the minor friars in the early stage of foundation building can consider.

What Lin He should consider at the moment is to seize every opportunity to become stronger. When you have such great strength in the future, it is only right to solve these doubts.

Putting aside these distractions, Lin He sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the white jade statue, closed his eyes slightly, and put his hands together under his abdomen.

Just as Lin He was meditating, the white jade statue in front of Lin He exuded a gentle brilliance at this time.

······

Lin He came to a mortal city at this time, and beside Lin He, the bustling crowd, the peddlers with their burdens, the children playing, and the faint smell of dust and flowers in the air, all of this was so real.

And these are not the things that surprised Lin He the most. What surprised him the most was where he was.

At this time, Lin He stood in front of a medicine hall, which was not big, but the decoration was exquisite, but it looked a little old.

Lin He couldn't be more familiar with this medicine hall, for as long as he could remember, Lin He had passed by this medicine hall every day, and he had envied the guys who worked in this medicine hall. After that, his father fell ill and asked for a pharmacist several times, but he was also incompetent.

Since then, he has supported the family by himself and went up the mountain to collect medicine alone. After picking a medicinal plant, he could be happy for several days, after all, this was the family's source of income, and he exchanged the herbs he picked for silver taels in this medicine hall.

Until one time, his life changed. On that occasion, he nearly lost his life in the mountains collecting ten herbs, and finally a fragment changed his fate.

Thinking of this, Lin He couldn't help but feel a little more nostalgic in his heart.

This medicine hall is the ten thousand medicine hall of the ten thousand shopkeepers!

Speaking of which, Lin He once secretly asked the shopkeeper Wan once why the medicine hall was so small and named it "Wan Yao Tang".

At that time, the shopkeeper Wan explained to Lin He with a smile, because this is the medicine hall of the shopkeeper Wan, so it is called the medicine hall of the shopkeeper.

Lin He listened to it at that time, was stunned for a long time, and finally praised the shopkeeper for his cleverness.

"Could it be that this time it is a red dust refining heart similar to the Mingxin Insight Array?" Lin He couldn't help but think of at this time.

Lin He then couldn't help but raise his feet and step into the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall, but the moment he stepped into the threshold, his steps suddenly froze, and Lin He stayed in place, and a monstrous wave turned in his heart.

He saw a young man dressed in gray, about seventeen or eighteen years old, holding an account book in his hand, and writing on the counter in the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall.

And this person is none other than Lin He himself, to be exact, he will be a few years later.

However, Lin He saw that this young man had no special aura on his body, and he looked like a small guy and a man, and obviously did not look like he had obtained fragments.

In addition, the demeanor and temperament of the two are also completely different.

Lin He himself has a dusty temperament at this time, and his eyebrows are full of masterful atmosphere, if there are others who look at it at this time, they feel that this person is the head of the immortal family, and he can be like a bamboo with a wave of his hand, and he cannot be resisted.

And the young man in front of him, a picture of serious accounting, and even a trace of shrewdness between his eyes, looks like a careful man.

This person ······ Is it really me? Lin He's whole body froze at this time.

"Xiaohe, hurry up and check the accounts, and then help me prepare some medicinal materials, there are still a lot of things to do today. Shopkeeper Wan was busy at this time, and said to the young man.

"Hey, okay, shopkeeper Wan, this side will be finished soon, and I'll fix it later." The young man did not raise his head, and the brush in his hand never stopped, and replied.

After a while, the young man finished checking the accounts, and then helped the shopkeeper Wan to sort out the medicinal materials, some of them were packed and put aside, which was for those who had greeted them in advance, and there were also last time the medicinal materials were out of stock, and they were not available until now······

Lin He stood in the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall, silently watching all this, just now, the young man was passing by Lin He, but he didn't even look at Lin He.

Lin He already understood at this time that he did not belong to this world, he was just a passerby, and no one here could see him.

"Why is this happening, why is there another me here?" Lin He couldn't figure it out, "This is different from the Clear-Mind Insight Array, in the end, what is this here to test me?"

"Could it be that this scene is the life I lived after I didn't get that mysterious fragment?" Lin He couldn't help but think of this in his heart at this time.

Lin He's mind was complicated, and he stood in the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall in a daze, and this station was several days long.

None of the people who came and went saw him, and some even passed through Lin He's body......

Street vendors sell sugar gourds, tofu flowers······

All these scenes are so real, yet so illusory. All of these people are extremely familiar, but they are full of strangeness.

However, in such a crowded and noisy environment, Lin He was forgotten by everyone and was alone.

"Here, is it real or illusory?" Suddenly one day, Lin He suddenly opened his eyes, and the yin and yang diagram in his eyes rotated rapidly, "No, this is the life I originally wanted, but now, here, is not my destination!"

With the fall of Lin He's voice, I only heard the sound of countless glass breaking, and the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall in front of me, all the people who passed by disappeared!
