Chapter 5: The Demons of the Heart

Lin You woke up by the river. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first moment he woke up, Lin You's right arm unconsciously strained up.

He felt the sensation coming from the palm of his hand, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Lin You withdrew his right hand to his side, and the long sword in his hand scratched a mark on the ground.

With his left hand propped up on the mud and sand, he lifted his upper body off the ground with some difficulty. Half-kneeling at the water's edge, Lin You looked at the scene around him.

The light is a little dim, but it doesn't have a big impact.

An extremely unfamiliar landscape appeared in his eyes.

Here, it's definitely not Jiang City!

Even...... Nor is it the province to which Jiang City belongs.

In the valley of the mountains, countless unknown trees grow in the distance, black and strange, as if they are hideous monsters.

He was half-kneeling on a small piece of sand, with the rushing river behind him.

The air was filled with the desolate cry of an ape, and the faint roar of a beast.

Lin You, who has been wandering in the wild all his life, knows at a glance what kind of environment this is.

Absolute deep mountain old forest!

And it's the kind of place that is inaccessible and uninhabited.

He thought a little in his mind and guessed something. But now is not the time to take care of that.

Lin You lowered his eyes and looked at his body.

His skin was a little pale, the result of being soaked in the water for too long, but there were not many injuries on his body.

The muscles and muscles are a little soft, but it's fine.

Lin You shook the long sword in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"It's okay......"

In this extremely unfamiliar environment, and it looks like an uninhabited deep mountain and old forest, it is really good that there are no serious injuries on his body.

Otherwise, it will be nice to have it later.

Now Lin You still has a sharp weapon in his hand, and with his current skills, basic safety can still be guaranteed.

Lin You took a deep breath and wanted to get up from the ground.

The muscles in his lower back and the muscles in his legs worked together, and he struggled to his feet.

He was unsteady on his feet, and his body was still a little weak.

Lin You's steps were vain, and he wanted to leave the place.

There was a source of water by the river, and he was still a small piece of gentle sand.

This is an old forest deep in the mountains, and the animals in the forest are definitely frequented here.

He had to leave before some beasts of prey came to drink.

Staggering, Lin You staggered into the forest in the distance.

Lin You didn't have time to think too much about the situation now, he had to quickly find a safer place to recover his strength quickly.

After he walked dozens of steps and entered the forest, Lin You's face was a little embarrassed.

Perhaps because of its proximity to water sources, the soil here is not only well-hydrated, but also more nutritious than in other places. So the woods here are a little too dense.

Such a situation is not a good phenomenon for Lin You now.

What's more, it's still nighttime, even though the moon and stars in the sky are shining brighter than usual.

His eyesight is also extraordinary, and he can clearly see the scene around him.

But with his current weak condition, it was a bit difficult to find a temporary camp in the middle of this dense forest.

And the forest is too dense, and the danger is not small.

Lin You didn't walk into the forest immediately.

He took a few steps back to the river, then looked around in the clearing.

Suddenly, he noticed a thick tree on a rock face next to the sand, which seemed to be a mountain nan.

The terrain of the rock wall is a bit steep, it is not a good place to drink, and the height of the mountain is also very high, at least more than ten meters by sight.

Without thinking too much about it, Lin You picked up the long sword in his hand and walked there.

When he climbed the rock wall with difficulty, he reached the edge of the tree.

Lin You bit the hilt of the long sword into his mouth, then firmly grasped Nanmu with both hands and climbed up.

In this kind of mountain forest, if you climb a tree, you can directly cut down more than half of the chance of encountering predators.

Even if you come across a big guy who can climb a tree, it's easier to resist in the tree.

If a small predator encounters a creature of human size, he will not dare to come forward at will.

Climbing up the tree, the key is to allow Lin You not to be surrounded by wolves and the like, and it also reduces the possibility of him being sneak attacked.

Using the only strength left in his body, Lin You climbed to a branch of the Nanshu with difficulty.

After sandwiching his body between the branches, Lin You leaned his back against the trunk and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he had time to sort things out.

Lin You closed his eyes and first sensed the situation in his body.

The sword qi in his body had been depleted, but under Lin You's mental perception, this was just a phenomenon of the sword qi being consumed, and it would naturally recover after that.

Although the meridians in the body are also soft, they are not a big problem.

Knowing the situation in his body, Lin You is now completely relieved.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, what he pursued was to enter the Tao and then be able to control his own destiny.

And the sword qi that he had worked so hard to cultivate in his body was the foundation for him to control his own destiny.

Everything that happened in Jiang City before was still replayed in his mind.

When there was a violent explosion in the sky, Lin You was really desperate at that time.

Even though the crisis has now passed, and he is no longer even in Jiang City, he still has lingering palpitations.

You must know that that kind of explosion in Lin You's perception contains extremely strong aura fluctuations.

Being in the core, if he was accidentally affected, even if he didn't die on the spot, every bit of sword qi in his body might be destroyed.

What's more, the violent aura of the outside world will directly destroy his dantian.

Once he suffers from this situation, he will become a waste like the person who has abolished his martial arts in martial arts novels.

Even if he pursued the path again in the future, he could only practice sexual skills to warm his mind and mind, and he could no longer practice swordsmanship and the like.

If you still want to kill like before, it's impossible.

Fortunately, this tragic situation did not appear on Lin You's body, which made his brows stretch and the slightest burden in his heart was lifted.

As long as the mana is still there, everything else is secondary.

Lin You was lying on top of the trees, and now he only had a piece of clothing and a long sword in his hand.

It can be expected that if he wants to survive in this deep mountain and old forest, and get out, there are still many difficulties waiting for him.

But Lin Youfei is not a mortal, and although those things are difficult for him, he doesn't have to pay attention to them.

Lin You sorted out his current situation, and began to recall the situation before he fell into a coma.

Thinking of the scene at that time, a sadness suddenly rose in Lin You's heart.

This kind of sad emotion has rarely been encountered since his unremitting pursuit of the path.

He sighed faintly.

"After all, I am still mortal, and some things are indeed unforgettable......"

Thinking of that shadow, Lin You's heart felt inexplicable.

For the mysterious girl who suddenly appeared next to her.

Lin You was extremely vigilant in his heart, even if he casually took the girl in his room, it didn't mean that he let down his vigilance against her.

After all, it's better to keep the other person under your nose than to let a mysterious person who is interested in you disappear from your field of vision.

This will allow you to better prepare for certain situations that may arise in the future.

Not to mention......

Lin You silently operated the faint sword qi reborn in his body, moisturizing his tired body.

The reason why he was able to enter the Dao was that he was able to practice his own mana.

Or because he was taught by the other party, and it is not an exaggeration for the other party to say that he is his master.

After getting along for a long time, Lin You was much less suspicious of her in his heart.

But the doubts in his heart also became more and more.

He really didn't understand why the other party, such a mysterious and powerful figure, would be interested in him.

Could it be that he has really become the protagonist of some anime novels, and a mysterious girl has fallen from the sky and started Long Aotian's life......

With a sneer, Lin You threw the idea aside.

Until the moment when his immature calculation of the Cao family was mishandled and on the verge of death, Xiao Ren appeared and saved him.

At this point, Lin You began to accept the other party from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help but sneer.

"Himself、It's really a cold-tempered person......"

Only when the other party helped him again and again did he really begin to accept the other party.

Even if he accepted it, the doubts buried in his heart never disappeared in a day.

He wanted to find a time to talk openly and honestly with the other party.

After that, even if the other party doesn't give him an answer, he can better persuade himself to accept the other party after he has told all the suspicions in his heart.

But......

At that moment, Xiao Ren froze his eyes and resurfaced in front of Lin You's eyes.

For him now, as long as he closes his eyes. Xiao Shinobi's crystal gaze would appear in his mind.

Lin You was not familiar with the emotions contained in his eyes like stars, but it made him feel a heartbeat.

"After all, we've lived together for so long. ”

Regarding the vision that appeared in Jiang City at that time, Lin You didn't know why it happened.

But now, one thing he can be sure of is that Shinobu has disappeared from his life.

Just like an ordinary person, in life, you will inadvertently or inadvertently, miss a lot of people and things.

No matter how special his experience is, he is always missing someone now.

"Sure enough...... Yourself、It's still more suitable for a person。 ”

Lin You said these words silently, and after making up his mind to pursue Taoism, he was ready to endure the extreme suffering of the world and see the greatest scenery in the world.

Now, it's just that I've missed someone and become alone again.

Such a small suffering is not worth mentioning for what he will encounter in the future.

But......

Lin You's mind was churning with all the scenes when he and Xiao Ren met until they separated.

The bitter feeling could not be dissipated in his heart for a long time.

A tear slowly overflowed from his left eye.

Tears were like the eyes he had seen day and night.

The ball swept across his cheek and eventually fell into the air, landing on the palm of his hand.

Lin You's left hand slowly closed, and he took the tears he had shed in his hand.

At the end of the day, the scenery disappeared, and my heart was empty and full of nostalgia.

On the road of cultivation, there are all kinds of hardships and joys everywhere, but at this time, they can't compete with this teardrop.

Lin You closed his eyes, wanting to suppress all the emotions in his heart and let his mind return to clarity.

But he couldn't do it now.

The other party's voice is still churning in his mind, and the sweetness that he has never felt is produced now.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin You's mouth, but the bitterness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

He discovered such a strange emotion in his heart that he couldn't help himself for a while.

At this time, he began to hate his actions that day, and even hated himself for why he had to calculate the Cao family in order to cultivate the Tao.

The faces of those who died by his sword began to appear before him.

If they kill them themselves, will the people they care about also experience what they are suffering now......

All kinds of thoughts came to Lin You.

In the haze, Lin You saw Xiao Ren again.

Shinobu was standing in front of him.

She stretched out her hand to Lin You, and Ruyu's hand exuded a misty halo, like the night moon. A gentle smile bloomed on Shinobi's face.

Lin You saw her gentle gaze and was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Ren seemed to want to say something to Lin You, but he stopped talking.

He followed her gaze to his side.

His right hand was still firmly grasping a blood-stained Han-style long sword. The blade of the sword shimmered with coldness, extremely dazzling, and it was incompatible with the scene that was so warm now.

Lin You felt it.

As long as he released the long sword in his hand and held Shinobi's hand.

He will get rid of the bitterness in his heart and leave this scenery on the road of his life in his heart forever.

As long as, as long as he let go of the sword in his hand......

Lin You raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ren.

The two eyes mingled.

Lin You seemed to be back in his hut.

One desk, two people.

Xiao Ren sat next to him, supporting her little head, quietly reading with him, but her attention was on the scenery outside the window.

Lin You's body trembled slightly, and his fingers were on the hilt of the sword, no longer so hard.

"Little Shinobi ......"

Lin You hoarsely called out her name softly.

Xiao Ren heard Lin You call her, turned her head, and found Lin You standing behind her, a little surprised. But a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face.

Lin You's right hand was raised, as long as his thoughts were slightly loosened, the long sword would fall to the ground, and he would be able to accompany the other party.

Xiao Ren looked at Lin You quietly, and the affection in his eyes was even stronger.

Lin You's body was stunned......
