Star Odyssey - Chapter 4235

[4236: Encounter]

“After we parted at Lingyuan, you have aged a lot. We are old friends. Do you have anything to ask for?” Lu Yin asked.

Lin Jie’s thoughts were complicated, and he kept thinking, what do you want? In the past, he wanted to climb, to lead the Linlushan family over the peaks and become the strongest family, but now, what can he ask for? The experience of these years made him tired, he was really tired. Although it was only a few hundred years, he had experienced more life and death than the first half of his life combined.

The torture of illness and injury made him live a life worse than death. He wanted to end his life countless times. Only then did he know what he wanted, but a healthy body, simple food, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, and accompanying his daughter, that was the happiest.

He led the Linlushan family all the way from an ordinary cultivator, and put in so much effort, but it was easily destroyed. What is a person pursuing in his life?

Behind him, Lin Jie’s daughter knelt down again: “Please Lord Lu treat my father’s illness and save my father from the pain.”

Lin Jie’s body shook, and he looked at Lu Yin with desire in his eyes.

Lu Yin and Lin Jie looked at each other: “That’s all?”

Lin Jie looked at Lu Yin’s eyes, and the experience of the first half of his life was like flowing water. A behemoth like the Spring and Autumn Jian was easily destroyed. Is there any difference between living for ten thousand years and living for one year? Ten thousand years of pain is not worth a year of happiness.

His eyes gradually became firm: “That’s all.”

Lu Yin smiled. He and Lin Jie had no origin. Ling Yuan had only a few quarrels when they met. If it weren’t for Shui Su, he wouldn’t have come here.

This Lin Jie gave up his lifelong pursuit just to treat his illness. This person let it go.

Lu Yin’s mental wall had a second brick. He didn’t know how many bricks this high wall would take, but he knew that one day, this high wall would block him from seeing the distance and make him want to break it.

By the river, watching the boat go away, Lin Jie, his daughter and Shui Su knelt deeply. This farewell, they will never see each other again.

Shui Su’s eyes were complicated. This month was like a dream. For this person, it was just a scenery.

The boat continued to go downstream. The change of the river allowed Lu Yin to see a different scenery from before. Mortals were old friends, but he had never seen these old friends, but their ancestors must have seen him.

Lu Yin could not blur the appearance of mortals, because mortals could not recognize him even if they heard his voice.

Only cultivators have seen what he looks like.

A few years later, the boat drifted into a city along the water. The city was full of mortals. Lu Yin heard the familiar name again – celestial being.

Celestial being is the name mortals call cultivators.

He sat on the boat, ate a few dishes, drank tea and meditated, which made many people talk about him being a celestial being. Even the officials of this city came to see him and talked to him, but Lu Yin ignored him.

As the sky darkened, the night watchman walked out and knocked on the night.

It’s curfew.

But no one cares about him, the celestial being is not bound by any rules.

“Hey, hey.” Someone called softly.

Lu Yin looked at the bushes by the river bank, and saw a young man

: “Looking for me?” The young man looked at Lu Yin. Because it was dark, he couldn’t see his face clearly, but his eyes were burning: “Are you a celestial being?”

Lu Yin nodded: “Yes.”

“Great, celestial being, can you do me a favor?” the young man asked.

Lu Yin smiled: “Why do you want to help?”

The young man touched his pocket and took out a piece of metal: “This is for you.”

Lu Yin waved his hand and the metal flew over, which made the young man envious.

It was just a very ordinary piece of metal, which could be used to make weapons for cultivators, but it was useless, but it was already a material that was difficult to melt for mortals.

“This is what I found accidentally in the mountains. I took it to Wang the blacksmith. Wang the blacksmith said that only celestial beings can use it, and his cremation can’t be opened. Do you think it will be useful to you?” the young man asked expectantly.

Lu Yin put it away: “Okay, what do you want me to help you with?”

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was useful: “I want you to help me find someone, who is also a celestial being.”

Lu Yin said: “The world is vast, how can I find him?”

“Just do your best.”

“This piece of metal is quite precious. It would be a waste to just find someone. You can change the conditions.”

The boy insisted: “I don’t want to change, I just want to find that person.”

Lu Yin hummed: “Okay, who to find.”

The boy reached into his arms again and took out a painting from his arms. The scroll looked very old. He carefully unfolded it to reveal the content of the painting.

Seeing the content, Lu Yin’s eyes shrank. What is this?

There was a small boat floating on the water in the painting. There was an umbrella on the boat, and a lounge chair under the umbrella. There was a person sitting leisurely on the lounge chair. There was also a wooden table next to it, and some food was placed on the wooden table.

This was the scene when he wanted to comprehend his state of mind and took a small boat to tell fortunes for others.

The parasol, the drink and the fruit plate were exactly the same. That was himself. Is

this boy looking for himself?

The boy put down the painting, a little embarrassed: “I know this clue is hard to find, but there is no way. Maybe I can only meet you in this life, so I want to ask you to help me find the person on it.”

Lu Yin looked at the boy deeply, and the cause and effect spiraled on his fingertips, then penetrated the boy’s body, and played scenes of cause and effect in the past. He was looking for the relationship between this boy and himself.

Soon, he saw a person, a familiar person, it was the young woman who wrote a “cross” on the ground at the beginning, which made him feel something. Before leaving, he eliminated the pain for him and his husband and son, so that they could live a long life.

This boy is their descendant.

But the location is wrong. This city is the area after the waterway was changed. It is very far away from the city where I met the woman at the beginning. It is a distance that mortals can hardly reach. Why is this family here?

The cause and effect of the past kept flashing, and Lu Yin understood that it was a war. There were wars among mortals. In order to avoid the war, the woman’s family left their home and came here. They were displaced, but because there was no pain, they got a long life, so they came here step by step, and their descendants also settled in this city.

This painting was also drawn by the woman before she died. She could not draw her own appearance, but she clearly remembered the scenes on the boat. She knew very well that her family’s longevity was related to her, because she had only met a celestial being like her.

In their cognition, celestial beings are omnipotent.

Lu Yin looked deeply at the painting. Is it destined by heaven? The waterway has changed, but he can still meet the descendants of his old friends.

“Celestial being? Can we find him?” the boy asked in a low voice.

Lu Yin looked at the boy: “Why are you looking for him?”

The boy was bitter, with red eyes: “According to the legend of our ancestors, the celestial being in the painting is blessing us. My mother is seriously ill and there is no medicine to cure her. She can only live for two years at most. I want to ask that celestial being to help me.”

Lu Yin asked back: “Why don’t you ask me for help directly? Instead, you asked me to find this person. Even if I can find this person in the end, it may be two years later. “

The boy stared at Lu Yin in a daze: “Can you cure my mother?”

Lu Yin smiled: “Yes.”

The boy’s eyes were bright and excited: “Then I beg you to cure my mother, please.”

Lu Yin sighed. The boy believed in the words of his ancestors and regarded the person in the painting as a god. He subconsciously believed that only the person in the painting could cure his mother. He did not trust other practitioners, so he was gambling, betting that he could find the person in the painting within two years.

Because he was sure that only the person in the painting could cure her, if he did not find the person in the painting and asked for help directly, once he could not cure her, he would waste a piece of metal. This piece of metal was his only bargaining chip to trade with the celestial being.

This bet was very determined. It was his only chance, and he was gambling with his mother’s life.

Lu Yin treated the boy’s mother very easily.

Seeing his mother’s blood color gradually improve, the boy was excited and bowed to Lu Yin.

The boat passed by and left the city. He didn’t know whether it was fate or something else that he met this boy. At this moment, he was confused.

After several years, he still couldn’t figure out why he met an old friend in a new city. This old friend was just a mortal. With just a few words, he was still tied to the present. Where did this bond come from?

Even after several years, he was still thinking.

Until someone bowed deeply to him by the river, Lu Yin was completely confused.

Yuan Huo?

That’s right, the person standing by the river and bowing deeply to him was Yuan Huo, the cultivator who was in love with the mortal woman Kuiniang and wanted to take her away but couldn’t, making the people of the city uncomfortable.

In the end, it was Lu Yin who made them see their true hearts. Kuiniang’s words of retention made Yuan Huo relieved and the whole city relieved.

It was also from this incident that Lu Yin knew that the so-called known sufferings might not be the real sufferings. Sufferings can be overcome, but the real sufferings are hard to find. This is why there are so few people in the realm of immortality.

Overcoming sufferings is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is to find the real sufferings.

“Why are you here?” Lu Yin’s face was solemn. This was not the location of the city where Yuan Huo and Kui Niang were. The distance was farther than the city that the boy came from the original city.

Yuan Huo recognized Lu Yin. At this moment, Lu Yin’s dress was no different from when he was fortune-telling that year, except that the word fortune-telling was missing.

Of course, he couldn’t see Lu Yin’s face clearly. He only knew that this person had helped him to tell his fortune and let him stay with his beloved woman.

“The city was destroyed, Kui Niang died, and I traveled the world alone. I didn’t expect to meet you again. It’s a great blessing. Please accept my greetings, sir.” As he said this, he bowed deeply.

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes: “Why did you come here?”

Yuan Huo was puzzled: “Shouldn’t you come here?”

“I don’t know, I’m just curious why you came here.”

“Just following my heart.”

Lu Yin looked at Yuan Huo. Just following my heart?

This Yuan Huo must have just followed his heart, but why did he meet me? Where did his heart come from? Where did the fate come from? Add to that the boy before.

Lu Yin suddenly turned his head and looked back. His consciousness swept through the cities one by one, and finally saw his portrait in a city. It was from a family worshipping. Under the portrait, there were six taels of gold.

His body was shocked. How could this be?

The six taels of gold was the fortune-telling that the old woman asked him to give. Why did it appear in the city behind? Although he didn’t meet her, but looking back at this moment, didn’t he also see it?

It was equivalent to meeting her.
