Star Odyssey - Chapter 4482

[Chapter 4481: Something to Ask for]
Tuo Lin walked out of the yard excitedly and walked towards the street: “Master, look, that’s Uncle Shi. Uncle Shi’s family makes a living by quarrying stones and provides stones for the city. In his spare time, Uncle Shi will use his own stones to fill the road surface. The roads in the city are flat and wide, and a lot of it is due to Uncle Shi and his family. I see the word “stone” in Uncle Shi.”
“Greetings, Master.” Uncle Shi hurriedly saluted when he saw Tuo Lin. Although Tuo Lin called him Uncle Shi, he was much older than Uncle Shi.
“Uncle Shi, you’ve worked hard. How is your shoulder injury? You were naughty when you were a kid and fell from a tree in my yard. It hasn’t healed completely in all these years.”
Uncle Shi smiled bitterly: “It won’t heal. It hurts every time it’s cloudy or rainy, but it doesn’t affect my work. Thank you for your concern, teacher.”
Tuo Lin nodded and continued to walk forward: “Master, that is Xiao Anzi. He is famous for asking questions. He is like this, and so are his teacher, his teacher’s teacher, and his teacher’s teacher’s teacher. They will bring questions to every corner, but they will also answer people’s questions. They are good people. I see the word “ask” in him.”
“Master, that is the shopkeeper Ma. His family has been trading horses for generations. Although Xiangcheng is not big, there are people who like horses. They will gallop on horses by the river outside the city. There are also horse racing events every year. I see the word “horse” in him.”
“That is Brother Tang. He likes to grow flowers the most. I see the word “tang” in him.”
“That one, that one…”
Every time Tuo Lin mentioned a person, Lu Yin seemed to see a word on that person. He shouldn’t have seen this word, but for some reason, he could see it at this moment, like the finishing touch, or like a covering
curtain was lifted.
Could it be related to these statues?
Lu Yin looked at his own statue passing by, and there was a certain possibility.
Words appeared in his mind one by one. Lu Yin looked back. Those people were still people, but they were also words. Those words flew towards the sky, constantly colliding and jumping, which was very strange.
Xiangcheng has a large population. Tuo Lin wanted to take Lu Yin to see everyone, but Lu Yin didn’t have time. He had to use his willpower to cover the surroundings and asked Tuo Lin directly: “Tuo Lin, what are these people’s words?”
“Master, he is “ask”, she is “buy”, he is “supply”…”
One by one, the words kept jumping and imprinted in Lu Yin’s eyes. Lu Yin accelerated his speed, flying over Xiangcheng, circling continuously, as if he was in a sea of words. He knew who each word corresponded to. He watched people greet Tuo Lin one by one, wipe his statue devoutly, and at the same time felt that those people were smiling at him and respectful to him. He heard more and more people’s voices, and those voices seemed to be poured into his mind. He couldn’t help but listen .
His willpower continued to spread, and the range covered was twice, twice, five times, ten times, and still increasing…
He felt everyone’s gaze.
Suddenly, his body fell, and the heavy feeling pressed him towards the ground. His vision changed. He looked down and saw his hands, legs, and body.
He became a human.
“Master.” Tuo Lin was surprised: “Congratulations, Master.”
Qinghe swayed: “Congratulations, Master.”
Hui Can envied: “Congratulations, Master.”
Lu Yin stood on the street, looking at his hands. He finally became a human. He
was the second person to become a human among all the people who entered Xiangcheng. He should
also
be the second person who entered the city to become a creature since Xiangcheng was taken away by You Che.
But the blood-stained clothes really made the people around him stunned, and their eyes were filled with fear.
“Master, what happened to you?” Tuo Lin was shocked and his face was pale.
Hui Can stared at Lu Yin, it was a serious injury.
Lu Yin coughed and tore off the blood-stained coat. The inner layer of clothes was fine, not so bloody.
“Master, let’s change clothes. I have clothes.” Tuo Lin said, and hurried over to help Lu Yin.
Lu Yin wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded: “Okay.”
Soon, they returned to the yard, and Lu Yin changed into Tuo Lin’s clothes. Tuo Lin looked at Lu Yin’s injuries and his eyes were red.
Qinghe was bent, and Xiaoyu was very worried.
Lu Yin rubbed Tuo Lin’s head and said, “Master, you’re fine. Don’t worry.” After saying that, he looked outside the yard. At this moment, many people gathered outside. They were all from Xiangcheng. They knelt on the ground and paid respect to the Holy Master.
Lu Yin walked out of the yard and looked at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground.
“Greetings to the Holy Master.”
“Greetings to the Holy Master.”
“Holy Master, how are you…”
Everyone was greeting, each one of them was extremely pious.
They were all ordinary people. Tuo Lin had lived for hundreds of years and was regarded as a teacher, and Lu Yin was even more deified.
Lu Yin looked at these people and said, “Get up.”
Everyone slowly stood up and looked at Lu Yin with eyes full of piety and admiration. This kind of look had never appeared in Xiangcheng before. It was the ultimate reverence and faith.
“You, do you have any requests?” Lu Yin asked. Looking at these people, he didn’t know how to take the last step of eternal life. Perhaps, if he could get the recognition of the entire Xiangcheng and control Xiangcheng, he would be able to make a breakthrough. He could only try this way.
One person knelt down:
“I have something to ask for.”
“What do you ask for?” “
I pray for my mother’s health. My mother has been working hard for days and has a constant cough. I ask the Saint Master to be merciful and help my mother. I don’t ask for immortality, but only for a healthy life and a natural death.”
Lu Yin looked at the man. This prayer was very simple.
“I also have something to ask for.”
“What do you ask for?”
“I pray for my farmland to not collapse. My farmland is located in the middle of the river. The water is turbulent and constantly washes the soil of the farmland. I see that the farmland is shrinking and I can’t even afford the vegetables at home.”
“I have something to ask for.”
“I have something to ask for…”
Lu Yin listened to the prayers of these people. They were all very simple and ordinary prayers. There was no wealth, no immortality, and no cultivation. What they had was just the most ordinary life and the simplest happiness.
He looked at the desire in these people’s eyes. Life was fleeting for more than a hundred years, and being healthy and disaster-free was a great blessing. The happiness of life was actually very simple. What they asked for was already very high for them, but for Lu Yin, it couldn’t be any smaller.
Cultivation is a circle. If you were a cultivator, what would you ask for? To achieve higher cultivation? To gain skills? To obtain combat skills? To seek a breakthrough?
What ordinary people ask for corresponds to their short but ordinary life.
What cultivators ask for corresponds to their struggle, fighting, and intense life.
But no matter ordinary people or cultivators, what they ask for corresponds to themselves.
Lu Yin built a high wall of his mind and watched many people and many creatures’ experiences, including cultivators and ordinary people. However, they were all in the cultivation world. Ordinary people outside also knew people who could do anything, but there were no such people here.
In this world, everyone was an
ordinary person.
His life was a circle, cultivation was a circle, the outside world was a circle, and Xiangcheng was also a circle.
The high wall of his mind made him wonder how to push it down. It was standing in the outside world, and corresponding to Xiangcheng, planning his life with a circle, which corresponded to himself now.
Lu Yin raised his foot and walked towards the street. He didn’t know why he wanted to go. He just wanted to listen to more prayers, and he wanted to listen instinctively.
At the same time, in the Tianyuan Universe, where Lu Yin had been in seclusion before, the three characters of “Yun” written by Qian Shu burned and turned into ashes.
On the side, Xiang Siyu saw it, pondered for a moment, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.
The pupils looked at the ground, and they were a little dazed.
But soon, his eyes changed, becoming unfamiliar and sharp. On his flawless face, it did not look abrupt at all, but rather had another style: “You’re ruining your own luck for others, damn it.”
The three universes shook, Xiang Siyu looked outside, his eyes changed again, constantly changing between sharp and trance, and finally became trance, closed his eyes, and fell down. In
the Jiuxiao universe, the Nibiluo trident kept shaking.
In the distance, under the palm of life and death, the life and death seal gradually condensed, and the dead power roared.
Nan Ling’s pupils were hideous, and the blood-stained feathers swayed.
Around the God King, the light spots moved slowly, and then the speed became faster and faster.
The fixation of the palace was about to be broken.
But how long had it been since this distance was fixed?
Qinglian Shangyu’s face was heavy. In such a short time, Lu Yin could not break through. Was the three universes really going to be destroyed? Well, at least Lu Yin could survive, and human civilization was not only the three universes.
But even if it was destroyed, these few would not have an easy life.
In Xiangcheng, Lu Yin
walked on the street step by step. Everyone heard the arrival of the Saint Master and gathered on both sides of the street spontaneously, waiting for the Saint Master.
No one stood in front of him. There was a street that ran from east to west, and another street that divided the north and south.
Lu Yin walked on the street step by step, and people kept praying in his ears.
“Please, Saint Master, let my broken leg recover. My wife at home has been very hard, and she has to raise two children. I don’t want to be a useless person forever.”
“Please, Saint Master, bless the bridge not to collapse. My son died under the collapsed bridge.”
“Please, Saint Master…”
Lu Yin heard everyone’s prayers. Those most ordinary and common prayers kept turning into some kind of power, hitting the high wall of the mind that had been built, breaking the high wall of the mind piece by piece. He was pushing down the high wall of the mind.
Lu Yin himself didn’t expect that he could become a human in such a short time and find a way to push down the high wall of the mind.
Walking in Xiangcheng, this is the last step. With
every step, he felt that his cultivation was decreasing, and with every step, he felt that his state of mind was moving closer to that of a mortal.
Cultivation is a circle. He used to climb up step by step, which was extremely difficult. But now he is going down towards the ordinary. There will always be a moment when the beginning and the end are connected.
Lu Yin looked up. The world is the world, not just this piece of land.
In Xiangcheng, each of his statues is full of vitality, as if they have spirituality, but he himself is walking towards mortals, one step, one step, one step…
He walked through one street, and then another street. The small courtyard of Tuo Lin divided Xiangcheng into four streets. He walked through three streets and walked towards the last one, which was the street to leave Xiangcheng.
Going east, you can leave Xiangcheng, but Lu Yin
did not go. He went west.
