Chapter 583: To Liu Lin Temple, Researching the Fissure
Feng Ji, without fulfilling his desires in one aspect, made up for it in another by teasing him in broad daylight. She let him nap with soup and water, then snuggled in his arms to praise him…
"Husband, many people say you're quite the playboy, but I actually find your character to be one in a million, especially pure-hearted, really…"
"Ah?" Lin Xiaosu was surprised.
"Actually, that day when I shook hands with little Ye, I checked her body. Her membrane was still intact." Feng Ji felt sentimental, "Even though she is a robot, her body is no different from a human's. An average person would've poked her into a beehive long ago, but husband didn't lay a finger on her. This shows that you are very principled in this regard. You're really one in a million in this world…"
"Senior sister, how about praising me for something else?" Lin Xiaosu felt a little guilty.
"Okay, you're extremely handsome, you're exceptionally smart, and if you promise me not to mess around, I can even tell you, you're especially fun in bed…"
My heavens…
Lin Xiaosu said, "Don't think I'm too perfect, a woman might just come looking for me any moment now."
"Who?"
As soon as the words fell, the phone by the bedside pinged with a message alert.
Lin Xiaosu stretched out his hand to grab it, Feng Ji leaned over, "Hu Ya, it's really a woman's name… check out what she's saying."
Lin Xiaosu hesitated a little.
He almost predicted how blunt this message would be.
Hu Ya was definitely different from normal women.
She could say anything, if Feng Ji saw it, wouldn't it shatter her illusions about Lin Xiaosu's false image?
Alright, I am just that kind of scumbag, trying to whitewash will eventually be exposed.
I'll just show you directly, to spare you any unrealistic hopes in me.
Lin Xiaosu opened it calmly.
Sure enough, the message was spicy: "I just arrived at Liu Lin Temple, coming over to study the crack on the bluestone."
The crack on the bluestone!
What bluestone?
The bed her dad sleeps on.
The first time the two of them played bumper cars, Hu Ya got so excited, the bluestone cracked.
That's Hu Ya for you, always so fierce.
Feng Ji looked serious, "You have to go, this is important business!"
Huh?
Feng Ji gently pushed, "It's getting close to March third, any clues can't be overlooked, the crack on the bluestone is no trivial matter. You go quickly and study it well. My master is arriving soon too, I have to pack up and meet with my master tonight, let little Ye come back."
Crack!
To her, interpreting it sent a formal signal.
Lin Xiaosu's eyes gently shifted, "I can't bear to leave you, senior sister."
"Little rascal, are you trying to charm me to death…" Feng Ji snuggled closer, the silicone skin on her chin peeled back a little, and she gave him a sweet kiss.
Then she gently pushed him.
Lin Xiaosu got out of bed, dressed, and called little Ye.
However, it was still a case of splitting up to act.
Lin Xiaosu headed to Liu Lin Temple to check Hu Ya's crack… oh no, the crack on the bluestone.
Feng Ji packed her things; the next step was to transform back into the demon-faced witch and meet up with her master.
And little Ye, poor thing, returned home overnight to clean up the mess left by their chaotic days together.
If she were human, if she didn't burn the house down, it would be considered very broad-minded.
Still expecting her to tidy up the messed-up bed? Fat chance.
But of course, she wasn't that type.
There are signs that the upcoming little Ye would once again be the little Ye everyone was familiar with…
As for Lin Xiaosu, as the sun sets, he left home, walked along the village road, and headed to Liu Lin Temple.
Halfway up the hill, he encountered his Second Uncle coming down.
Second Uncle saw him and was delighted, "Did Dian Dian call you?"
"Yeah!"
"They're going to shoot a movie over at Liu Lin Temple, the county also called me and told me I don't need to stay at the temple, it's just the right time for me to take a few days off."
"Shooting a movie?"
"Yeah, it's supposed to be called something like 'Immortal Sword' Part Seven or Eight. The people in charge also told me to tell the villagers that if they hear any strange noises or see anything unusual, don't panic, it's just filming."
"Have the crew arrived yet?"
"Seems like they've arrived in the county already, filming officially starts tomorrow." Second Uncle said, "Dian Dian's coming back to keep an eye on things, just in case—lots of hands around, you know… although I don't think there's much to steal from a temple, right?"
"Yeah, but Hu Ya's just being considerate, you and Second Aunt can have a nice reunion."
Second Uncle beamed with joy, "I'll head back first."
With long strides, he happily returned home.
There are signs that tonight, Second Uncle and Second Aunt's little courtyard might see a flurry of activity before March third…
And Lin Xiaosu reached Liu Lin Temple.
The Liu Lin Temple remained quiet.
In the temple, Hu Ya was wearing the Dragon Eye, sitting on a bluestone.
When Lin Xiaosu arrived, Hu Ya took off the Dragon Eye and threw herself into his arms, holding his head with both hands, smack!
"You're back too!"
"Entering Qianlong, our aim is to protect our hometown. Although everyone says, protect everyone, not just your own family, I am just not enlightened enough, so what? I must return to Old Tashan and let those who cross the line taste my iron fist."
"Let's first check the situation!"
"What situation could I check? There's an order from above, I have to follow you! You are the chief commander of the Fengcheng defense line."
"Alright then. I've basically prepared everything here. We'll carry out specifics tomorrow."
"And tonight?" Hu Ya's eyes showed obvious color.
"Tonight, haven't you already confirmed the research subject? Study your cracks..."
"My goodness, that's too dirty, too shameless, too direct... come on!"
Day passed, and another day passed, Lin Xiaosu finally witnessed scenes only seen in movies.
The skyscrapers of Fengcheng, traffic flowing endlessly.
In the forests surrounding Liu Lin Temple, countless people dressed in ancient clothes.
Led by Hua Miaoyi, thirteen giants of the Enlightenment Realm, behind them, one hundred and seven Observing Heaven, five hundred and forty-six Observing Earth.
These people did not show the gallantry of stepping on tree tops when they were in Kun Cang, because it wasn't time to reveal their skills, everyone still needed to act.
To avoid causing unnecessary turmoil.
This was Qianlong's arrangement.
The situation on the third day of March could be very special, it was a prediction made by only a few people.
It was not verified accurately.
If it's just a false alarm, there's no need to incite public panic.
Therefore, necessary preparations were abundant.
But before truly exposing, keep a low profile as much as possible.
On the left platform and valley, are the cultivators.
On the right, is Qianlong.
Numerous Qianlong Gold Medals have arrived, Qianlong Flying Cars are currently on standby outside the mountain.
The list has been completely delivered to Lin Xiaosu's Dragon Eye.
In this action, he is the chief commander of the Fengcheng defense line.
Everyone follows the orders, including Qianlong and also including Kun Cang.
"Dear seniors, dear Qianlong, this action is very special, the most special thing is that we don't know what kind of mutation will occur on the third day of March, so every day ahead of us represents a new domain."
The crowd was silent.
Lin Xiaosu said, "Although the domain is new, our mission remains the same. Foreign invaders, we will crush them with force, even if we die, even if our spirits disappear, it is our choice!"
"Yes!" Qianlong responded in unison, standing at attention.
"Behind me, is my hometown where I grew up, my parents can see from here, although they are already old, they are still full of passion for life, I cannot abandon them, you all, actually feel the same!"
"Qianlong's mission, death is no impediment!" Qianlong members roared in unison.
This is the soldiers' dominance.
This is the soldiers' tenacity.
Although cultivators are far from soldiers, many cultivators were also infected.
Lin Xiaosu looked at this group of cultivators: "You are all seniors on the cultivation path, there may be no relatives in this world, but you need to understand one principle, if the lips perish, the teeth will feel the cold! The land beneath our feet is connected to Kun Cang, protecting Daxia is also safeguarding your kin in Kun Cang."
"Exactly!" Hua Miaoyi said, "In Kun Cang, I have neither children nor relatives, but over a thousand years, the three thousand disciples of Shenghua Valley are my closest kin. I do not want foreign enemies to break through, I do not want my kin to be enslaved. Everyone should feel the same. This is the reason."
"Yes!" A sect master beside her said, "In these years, I've constantly been thinking of the Ancient Array Sect, where the eighty-one elders formed an array with their lives to block the path from Ancient Wilderness to Kun Cang, why did they do that? It was to build this defense line for Kun Cang! If the outside world is breached, this defense line will be meaningless."
Lin Xiaosu said, "You may not know, but the Ancient Array Sect still has descendants!"
"Ah?" Hua Miaoyi was slightly surprised.
Her first thought was, could Lin Xiaosu be a descendant of the Ancient Array Sect?
"I suppose you all remember the butterfly from that day!" Lin Xiaosu said, "It is the only descendant of the Ancient Array Sect, when it was young..."
The life story of Gu Jian Youchen, intertwined with the winds and clouds, was portrayed through his words.
All cultivators present were shaken.
Cultivators may not talk about discipline, but they also value passion.
Gorgeous clothing and steeds gallop through Jianghu, a flick of the sharp sword stirs the winds and clouds, killing all enemies without rival!
This is the Jianghu dream of many men?
However, Gu Jian Youchen, with such cultivation, in the most glorious moment of his life, resolutely abandoned his pursuit of freedom and returned to the ancestral land, confining himself within a circle, injecting his essence into the great array, defending his ancestors' legacy, upholding the dignity of the Array Sect. This kind of tragic heroism on the cultivation path, for the first time, moved this group of cultivators.
It let them understand, what is the cultivation path, what is responsibility, what is righteousness.
"I once saw a book in the Underground Bridge Realm, which left a question... In the past, heaven, earth, and humans vied for dominance; the Heavenly Dao was strong, the Earth Tao was thick, and the Human Path was weak. Why is it that eventually the Heavenly Dao was destroyed, the Earth Tao sealed, and the Human Path rose? This question has puzzled cultivation paths for tens of thousands of years. I can now provide an answer: because the Human Path has emotion! Because the Human Path has responsibility! Though the Human Path is weak, it can unite everyone's hearts, generation after generation, passing the torch. I hope that starting today, we implant a belief in our hearts: Even if heaven and earth collapse, the Human Path will prevail!"
"Even if heaven and earth collapse, the Human Path will prevail!" The cultivators roared in unison.
"Even if heaven and earth collapse, the Human Path will prevail!" The Qianlong People also roared.
The atmosphere of battle was completely ignited by this point.
Lin Xiaosu completed the pre-war mobilization, integrating for the first time two utterly disparate forces.
