Chapter Fifty-Three: Returning to Hometown and Encountering Bad News

Lin Zhao kept flying over the Yunling Mountain Range, looking at the direction of the terrain below, comparing it with the map in his mind, and avoiding the area where the great demon was entrenched.

Although I am in a hurry and want to return home as soon as possible, things often do not go as expected.

There are always demon birds attacking along the way, and Lin Zhao is not timid, the demon birds who dare to offend are just used to test the techniques they have comprehended in the past few years. Use various protective spells first, and then attack, often within a few turns, you can kill the attacking demon bird.

There are also times when encountering danger, once passing by a mountain peak as high as a sharp knife, but the map indicates that there is no danger, but when I reach the peak, a few golden-winged Peng birds fly out, and the wings are eight or nine feet.

These Peng birds have the bloodline of the golden-winged Dapeng, and their temperament is the most ferocious, and when they saw Lin Zhao from a distance, they began to attack, and their mouths let out bursts of chirps, like sharp needles, piercing the eardrums.

When the two sides approached, they saw several Peng birds emit sharp wind blades from their mouths, slashing into the air. Lin Zhao quickly cast a spell, added a five-element spirit cover to himself, unfolded the Sky Vertical and Horizontal Method, and rushed towards several Peng birds.

When Lin Zhao flew in front of Peng Bird, the Ice Pick Technique that had been prepared shot out, hitting the chest of a Peng Bird, only to hear a terrible chirp, and a big hole was broken in the chest of the Peng Bird who was shot by the Ice Pick Technique, and there were signs of ice on his body, and he fell straight from the air.

Seeing this, several other Peng birds burst through the sky with a burst of angry roars, only to see that on the sharp knife-like peak, four or five Peng birds flew out, one of which had golden feathers all over his body, and his body was huge, just like a flying arrow.

Lin Zhao's heart was shocked, and without hesitation, he immediately landed rapidly towards the ground.

However, more than ten wind blades slashed in the air, and four or five of them hit the Five Elements Talisman Spirit Shield, and three protective magic shields broke in an instant.

Lin Zhao reflexively sprinkled a thunderbolt power grid to block the enemy, urging the thunder escape technique with all his might, and his body fell to the ground like lightning. Then he ran for his life, while performing the earth escape technique, while looking for a hidden place.

Fortunately, Lin Zhao was lucky, and he dodged the wind blades that kept slashing in the air in the fall. Finally found a cave where a wild bear was entrenched, rushed in and punched it so that the brains collapsed, and the dove directly occupied the magpie's nest and escaped the pursuit of the golden-winged pengbird.

While waiting in the cave, he cultivated to restore the true element. It wasn't until it got dark that he used the Earth Escape Technique, escaping all the way out of the Golden-winged Peng's sphere of influence, and then flying into the air again.

While hurrying, he fought with the demon birds and monsters, sharpening various Taoism.

Although it is sometimes dangerous, it is not life-threatening at all. Lin Zhao seemed to have found the feeling of the experience of the Azure Mountain Range again, but at this time, he only used the Dao method against the enemy, and the martial arts fist method was useless.

At present, it is really said that his own martial arts boxing method is the hole card at the bottom of the box.

Although there are many big demons in the Yunling Mountain Range, Lin Zhao relied on the map all the way, and often performed the "Jiazi Gan Zhiyan Divine Technique" and "Dayan Dunjia Qimen Jue" to calculate the good luck and avoid the place of the big evil, but there is no danger. It can even be said that there is no real object of life and death fighting.

Counting the two months he walked before, it took a total of three months for Lin Zhao to walk out of the Yunling Mountain Range. The terrain gradually flattened, and the mountains gradually disappeared, showing signs of human activity.

Lin Zhao was eager to go home, and he didn't want to deal with people, so he went out day and night, raised his flight altitude, and traveled all the way in the direction of Dawu Kingdom. On the way, he also sensed the traces of the monk, but Lin Zhao took the initiative to avoid it, and there was no cause and effect entanglement.

On this day, after five months, Lin Zhao finally arrived at the border of Dawu Kingdom, less than 10,000 miles away from Dangbo City.

Being in mid-air, pinching his fingers and calculating, Lin Zhao's face suddenly changed greatly. Without the slightest scruples, the true yuan operated, the sky vertical and horizontal method unfolded, and the body was like lightning, and the bursts of thunder echoed, flying in the direction of Swing City.

At this time, in the Lin Mansion of Dangbo City, Dawu Kingdom, an elderly woman was lying on the sickbed, her face was sallow, her hair was white, and the whole person was in a state of sleep, obviously to the point of running out of oil and lamps.

There was a Taishi chair on the side of the sickbed, covered with soft cushions, and an old man with a white beard and white hair was holding on to his crutches with both hands, his face was sad, and his expression was silent, looking at the sleeping old woman in a daze.

These two are Lin Zhao's grandfather and grandmother, who have not been seen for ten years and are almost 100 years old.

At this time, the two old men were already in the last years of their lives. Time is like a flying knife, the knife urges people to grow old, and it is the law of nature to live in bad emptiness, but when aging and death come, who can break it?

In the courtyard outside Lin Zhao's grandfather's and grandmother's bedroom, more than a dozen figures were standing, all standing quietly, silent, with anxiety and sadness in their expressions.

Lin Zhao's father Lin Renzhong, mother Chen, fifth uncle Lin Renjie and others are among them, and even Lin Zhao's uncle and family have rushed from the capital to see the old mother for the last time.

It was late autumn, the gusts of wind were blowing, the yellow leaves on the trees were falling, and the cold air was already soaking people's hearts.

People went like fallen leaves, drifting in the wind, and the old woman in the house took her last breath.

At the last moment, only Mrs. Lin was alone, watching his wife's difficult breath, with tears in his eyes, but he could only suppress his voice. Young couples, old companions! No matter how rich and wealthy people are, how can they survive birth, old age, sickness and death!

Lin Zhao had been flying for a day and a night, and at this time he was also pale, looking at Dangbo City from afar. After hesitating, Lin Zhao still didn't land outside the city, but just lowered his speed and flew directly towards Swing City.

Looking at the familiar Lin Clan's Sect Mansion below, Lin Zhao landed directly in the direction of the main hall. Still in the air, I have already seen that in the courtyard in front of the main hall, there are many people standing, each wearing white filial piety clothes.

traveled no less than 200,000 miles, after all, it was a step too late, and Lin Zhao's heart was suddenly overwhelmed by great pain.

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and slowly everyone looked up into the air.

"Zhao'er, are you back?" asked the mother Chen in the crowd, as if she didn't believe her eyes, and asked in a suspicious tone.

The figure landed lightly in front of everyone, first bowed his hand, and said in a heavy voice: "Zhao'er is late!"

Mother Chen took the first step and came to Lin Zhao's side, holding Lin Zhao's palms tightly with both hands, and looking Lin Zhao up and down while crying. He replied, "My son, why did you come when your grandmother went last night?"

Lin Zhao was stunned and didn't know what to say. Although I had already calculated that my grandmother had died, I didn't want to be one step late.

I think back to my grandmother's time, encouraging and supporting me to practice martial arts, and the voice and appearance are vivid, as if it happened yesterday. The heart is enveloped by great pain, but there is a sense of powerlessness from time to time.

In the world of life, suddenly like a visitor.

Life and death are so impermanent that they are never controlled by man. When he saw the fire dragon back then, he immediately made up his mind to worship the immortal gate, and wanted to ask for immortality. But "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven" has always been just a legend, and all things in the world, only immortality must be found by oneself, and others cannot do it for others.

"Go and see your grandfather, he is not in good health!" the mother, Chen, did not ask her son, but just a natural reaction under grief.

Lin Zhao responded, and then helped his mother to walk in the direction of the main hall. Crossing the door of the main hall, I saw a coffin on the top, Mrs. Lin sitting aside, and the whole main hall was decorated with a white mourning hall.

There were crowds of people kneeling on both sides of the main hall, including father, uncle, fifth uncle and others.

took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground, Lin Zhao said sadly: "Grandmother, my grandson is late!" While kowtowing and worshipping. After the worship was over, Lin Zhao knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Lin again.

"Get up, get up. Zhao'er can come back, presumably your grandmother is also very happy under the Nine Springs. Old lady Lin held the crutches with one hand, and tried to pull Lin Zhao up with the other.

Lin Zhao hurriedly moved to his side and held his old grandfather's thin palm with both hands. Old lady Lin already had old age spots on her face, and at this time, she looked at Lin Zhao with cloudy eyes, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Gently patted the back of Lin Zhao's palm with his other hand, and muttered in his mouth: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Lin Zhao looked around and nodded to the other elders in the hall.

Then he said openly to Mrs. Lin: "Grandfather, I will help you go to the room to rest for a while, and my grandson will talk to you, and I will come to the mourning hall to protect my grandmother." ”

Old Lady Lin nodded in agreement, and Lin Zhao's palm gently output a soft mana, pouring into Old Lady Lin's body, and the old man suddenly felt refreshed. Lin Zhao was gloomy for a while, through this mana induction, Lin Zhao knew that his grandfather was not far from the limit.

Gently helping his grandfather onto the bed and letting the old man lean on the pillow, Lin Zhao asked the maid who served his grandfather to pour a glass of warm water. A porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, and a "Qingyuan Dan" was poured out. After thinking about it, he gently shook it into three even pieces.

After taking one of the pills, Mrs. Lin suddenly felt the heat in her body surge, and her spirit suddenly improved.

Seeing that Lin Zhao took out another pill, he was still shocked into three pieces, and motioned for himself to take the next one. When I took this pill, I felt that my whole body was hot and sweating profusely.

Lin Zhao has been checking his grandfather's body reaction, and the mellow true yuan is like a mist and illusion, protecting the old lady Lin's internal organs and heart.

After about a cup of tea, Mrs. Lin finally felt comfortable all over her body, her body was sticky, there were black-brown dirt all over her body, the smell was fishy and unpleasant, and her stomach was also uncomfortable.

Sitting in the front hall of his grandfather's courtyard, sitting on a chair with his hands crossed, Lin Zhao ran the exercises, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth with all his might, refining and replenishing the true yuan. After a day and a night of flying, although there is an elixir to quickly restore the true element, after all, the consumption is too large, and it is still necessary to refine qi to restore the true element.

My grandfather was served by a few maids and went to the bath to clean up. In the past two quarters of an hour, a maid came in to give a report. Lin Zhao had already heard the footsteps, and opened his eyes.

When I returned to my grandfather's room, I found him lying on a new bed. His complexion was much better, but his spirit was still a little tired, and the sadness in his eyes was still there.

While talking to his grandfather, Lin Zhao slowly entered the true yuan, washing the old man's internal organs.

However, the input true element will dissipate once it turns around. Without a root bone, it is impossible to retain the spiritual power of heaven and earth, let alone the true element, and can only regulate the functions of the five internal organs.

Dozens of breaths passed, Lin Zhao quietly issued a "tranquilizing technique", and his grandfather slowly fell asleep.

At this time, the grandfather needed rest more than anything. Lin Zhao gently walked out of his grandfather's bedroom and told the maid to take care of him before turning around and walking towards his grandmother's mourning hall.

Exactly: the most helpless life and death, the world twists and turns dilemma!
