Chapter 298 Good People Should Have a Peaceful Life
Chapter 298 Good People Should Have a Peaceful Life
The oil-eating people left a famous aphorism to the world: "It is better to burn with passion than to die in despair!"
So after evening self-study, Bai Bufan continued to be chased by boys. When he really couldn't run anymore, he chose to find a pillar and start pole dancing. By showing off, he successfully avoided the death penalty and won cheers.
This is the wisdom of our ancestors. Let us thank the Youtai people together with Bai Bufan.
But there is no need to thank them too much, because the Israelis are too racially chivalrous.
Just thank you.
After letting Bai Bufan go, Lin Li did not go to Laoyou Street to fish again tonight, but went straight home.
After all, a new week is coming soon, and Lin Li needs to make some preparations for going to the immortal world to practice. Lin Li also plans to refresh once this week, so time is tight and the task is heavy.
When he got home, Lin Li immediately began to change his equipment and prepare the supplies he needed to carry.
Lin Li was not sure that he would go to the world of immortal cultivation next time, and he did not rule out the possibility of randomness in the world, so Lin Li's preparations were relatively comprehensive, and he still planned to wear protective clothing.
Everything was ready, Lin Li went to the bathroom and called up the system.
"Current reset price: 200 system currency"
When Lin Li clicked reset, 20 system currencies were deducted, the "Return" button lit up, and the number on the "Reset" button changed.
The price of the second reset actually increased tenfold, making the cost-effectiveness questionable.
Hopefully it will reset with the update.
White light flashed.
It is still the world of immortal cultivation, and the maximum stay is still six hours.
Because he didn't bring an extra watch last time, Lin Li didn't know how much time had passed in this world, but judging from the sky, it should have changed within a few minutes.
Lin Li looked around and compared his memory with it. After confirming that the food and tools he had deliberately left behind had no signs of being moved, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking out the drone from his backpack, Lin Li walked to the side of the Upside-Down Mountain again.
The drone took off and flew away with the operating handle in Lin Li's hand.
This drone is radio controlled. After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, even the most expensive drone would not be able to use most of its functions due to the lack of satellites and networks.
At the same time, because there was no Internet, Lin Li was unable to view the images taken by the drone in real time and could only wait for it to come back before viewing the recording.
Lin Li flew the drone into the air between the inverted mountains, then operated it to circle meaninglessly, his eyes looking up at the sky.
"boom!!"
A purple lightning bolt arrived as expected, but it was originally generated in the distant sky, but it changed direction and landed on the drone.
In an instant it was reduced to ashes, and no trace of it could be found anymore.
-
298.
Sales volume of Spring Breeze Elf -1.
"Can you really just stare at something and then chop it?" Lin Li frowned and sighed.
This was the most disappointing result for Lin Li.
I dare not go out anymore.
This is also the reason why Lin Li did not use the drone behind the mecha, for fear that it would encounter the scene in front of it.
The mecha's reconnaissance drone has no functional restrictions and can transmit images in real time.
But if one of these drones breaks down, there will be one less. Lin Li has two "repair crystals" on hand. The "repair crystals" can repair 50~100% of the damage to the mecha, but Lin Li is not sure whether the consumption of ammunition and drones is included.
And it is impossible to use this crystal just because the drone is gone.
So of course, trial and error starts with inferior products.
Any dead creature that leaves the top of the mountain will be favored by the purple thunder, and it cannot be tested even if there are many living creatures.
But Lin Li quickly thought of a solution to this problem - since he couldn't get out, then he couldn't get out and just started.
When you encounter difficulties, just sleep on it and don’t do it.
After returning to the center of the mountain top, Lin Li materialized the "Spirit Gathering Sky Array" and placed the "Spirit Spring" and a pile of empty shells of spirit stones he brought under the core of the array. He then began to control the expansion of the array.
The long-distance limit that can be controlled this time is slightly beyond the last time. This is the result of Lin Li's occasional practice in modern weekdays this week.
The surrounding spiritual energy flowed gently like a stream, gathering faster than last time, and the aura it manifested was more obvious.
Lin Li sat cross-legged, and since he had confirmed the safety of the environment, his mind was more immersed.
Apart from the frequent purple thunder and the occasional buzzing sound coming from the northwest, the rest of the time in the world of cultivation is unusually quiet.
The reason why he knew it was northwest was because last time Lin Li discovered that the compass was not working and he could not determine the direction, he returned to reality and immediately made up for his knowledge and learned a trick.
——When a person cannot tell the direction and has no tools at hand, he can open his mouth and look in eight directions, front, back, left, right, and center, for thirty seconds respectively. The direction in which he feels full is the northwest.
Practice has proved that it is easy to use.
……
【1.05.28】
The process of absorbing spiritual energy is very monotonous, but fortunately, since the absorption process is comfortable, it does not make people feel boring and uncomfortable.
Time passes little by little in such an environment.
Lin Li opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
The flow of spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic.
The next moment, there was a crisp sound of plastic packaging being touched from the side.
Lin Li was like a stressed Hakimi. He instantly put the "Spirit Gathering Sky Array" and "Spirit Spring" back into the [Warehouse], stood up, and looked in the direction where the sound came from, ready to run away at any time.
I saw an old man in green standing not far away, holding the compressed biscuits that Lin Li brought last time. He placed them in front of him and looked at them curiously.
The old man has white hair, but it is not the pale white of decay; it can even be called beautiful hair.
Hearing Lin Li's movements, the old man looked up, with curiosity and scrutiny on his face: "Young friend, have you finished your training?"
Has he been seeing himself for more than a while?
Lin Li's expression was still a little stiff, but then he breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this reaction, the old man had no ill will towards him.
At least not yet.
So he nodded and asked the old man politely: "Old sir, who are you..."
"My Taoist name is Shanqing. You can call me Taoist Shanqing." The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
"Hello, Taoist Shanqing. I am... Lin Li."
Lin Li, who wanted to call Bai Bufan, thought about it. This old Deng might have some ability to see through illusions. If he was found out of lying, all his impression points would be deducted immediately.
It’s better to be honest.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, little friend Lin Li. How did you get into this forbidden area? Could it be that this place is connected to the outside world?"
Taoist Shan Qing dodged and came to within two meters of Lin Li, his eyes showing even more curiosity:
"Your robe is of novel style, and the stitching is even finer than that of Tiangongfang, but why is there no Taoist charm or magic in it? Or is it that I am short-sighted and didn't see it?"
It probably refers to the protective clothing on his body.
"Why have I never seen these objects before? The outside world has changed so much in just a hundred years?" The old man pointed at the scattered supplies on the ground and asked,
"You are a person, your cause and effect, I can't see clearly at all..."
"Taoist Shanqing..."
As the situation was too sudden, Lin Li had no contingency plan and was speechless for a moment.
In this case where there is no time to make up a story, the best solution is to tell the truth:
"I am not from this world, nor am I from the outside world as you said. The reason why I can come here is a kind of...natural power of mine."
"What do you mean you are not from this world? Are you a demon from outside the domain? But there is no such weak demon from outside the domain."
The old man was even more confused when he heard this and looked puzzled.
“Master Shanqing, you should have discovered that these things are all mortal objects, but they are completely different from the mortal objects you know. These are the things I brought from my world. You can understand that… I came from a completely closed and isolated paradise.
Not only that, the logic of the heavenly way in the cave where I am is completely different from your cognition, and there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth..."
Lin Li tried to explain in a way that the other party could understand.
Listening to Lin Li's narration, Taoist Shanqing fell into deep thought, and then confirmed unconfidently:
"So you ascended from a purely mundane world to our world?"
"That's about it. My magical power is to ascend to heaven. This place, which you call the forbidden area, is where I ascend to heaven. I cannot choose this place. I'm really sorry if my presence disturbs you."
Lin Li nodded and then apologized.
"No need to apologize, this is not my territory. Besides, it may be your misfortune to ascend here. You should have noticed that this place is desolate and there are almost no living things." Taoist Shanqing shook his head.
"If you can't even do fasting right now, relying on the food you've brought, I'm afraid even survival will be a problem."
“Master Shanqing, my innate magical powers allow me to go back, so there’s no need to worry about that.” Lin Li thought about it and said it out loud.
"Can you go back? There is such a miraculous power that allows people to go back and forth between the upper and lower worlds freely. I have never heard of it." Taoist Shanqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Especially in this forbidden area, the laws of the great way have been wiped out. It is reasonable that outsiders cannot enter and insiders cannot leave. Are you really sure you can go back?"
"I've been back, and I can show you a demonstration later."
"Can't you demonstrate now?"
"My magical powers also have certain limitations and require time." Lin Li didn't want to waste the opportunity.
"The magical power that can break through the chaos here..." Seeing Lin Li so confident, as if he had really been back, Taoist Shanqing's eyes lit up, "Can you bring other people or things with you?"
"You can only carry objects, and they must be purely dead objects. Even dead living things are not allowed." Lin Li shook his head. "If you don't believe it, you can see and verify it later."
Lin Li tested it last time and found that the rules for carrying things in this world are the same as those in the doomsday world. Fresh meat can be brought in, but not taken back.
However, he had not tested the situation of placing it in the "Qian Kun Ring" because Lin Li was worried that the "Qian Kun Ring" would also be left in this world.
"That makes sense...power is always accompanied by restrictions." Taoist Shanqing nodded upon hearing this, but his expression could not hide his disappointment.
"So Taoist Shanqing, are you trapped here?" Lin Li took advantage of the silence to change the direction and asked Taoist Shanqing, trying to get information in reverse.
"Yes and no. Although you can see me now, I am actually dead."
"Are you Yang Jian?"
"Who is this?"
"It's okay, just keep talking."
……
Taoist Shanqing did not try to hide anything and simply told Lin Li about his origins in this place.
This forbidden area has no name. A hundred years ago, it was the ultimate battlefield between humans and demons.
A classic battle to the death that lasted for several years, in which the main path of the fight was truly obliterated.
The final result was a tragic victory for the human race, the powerful demons were killed, and the remaining souls were suppressed and killed. However, the price of doing all this was that three powerful human beings, including Shanqing Taoist, also gave up their physical lives and used their bodies as prisons to kill the remaining souls.
The grinding and killing has lasted for nearly a hundred years and is still going on.
As there was nothingness left here, the three of them had lost their bodies and their souls were damaged, so they could no longer practice. The broken laws made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
Being awake and doing nothing gradually became a torture. But someone had to watch over the killing of the remaining demon souls to prevent any accidents.
Humans can't get out of this place, but the same can't be said for demons.
So for the first ten years or so, the three of them were still awake together, and could even have meaningless "discussions" to pass the time. Later, they simply agreed that each of them would take turns to be awake for one year, and the other two would fall into a deep sleep.
And now is the time for Taoist Shanqing to wake up.
Not long ago, he finally sensed the flow of spiritual energy from heaven and earth from a distance, so he came here out of curiosity and met Lin Li.
"This place is extremely boring. No one has been able to break through the shackles and come to this forbidden area in the past hundred years. If those residual souls had not been completely killed, I would have killed myself long ago. There is no point in 'living' here."
Taoist Shanqing shook his head and sighed.
"The human race should be grateful to you." Although he was definitely considered a hero, it didn't feel real to Lin Li, but he still had to say some polite words.
"It's just a responsibility," Taoist Shanqing waved his hand, then pointed to the supplies around him, with some anticipation:
"My dear friend, since you don't really need this food, can you let me have a taste?"
"Of course you can, but can you still eat it without the flesh?" Lin Li asked.
To be honest, if Taoist Shanqing hadn't said it himself, Lin Li would not have been able to tell that he was just a soul, because there was no transparency at all, and the whole person looked very real.
"Although there is no physical body, it can still condense into a physical entity."
After getting the consent, Taoist Shanqing explained, then opened a pack of compressed biscuits and put them in his mouth to taste.
Chewing slowly and silently, Taoist Shanqing smiled: "Not bad."
"Is it delicious?" Lin Li was a little confused.
These compressed biscuits, whose main purpose is to fill the stomach, are definitely not delicious.
"It has nothing to do with the taste. It's just the first time I've satisfied my appetite in a hundred years, and it's enough to make me happy." Taoist Shanqing shook his head and explained with a smile.
That's true. If Bai Bufan hadn't eaten for a hundred years, he would be able to eat even compressed biscuits with relish, let alone feces.
"Then if you need them, you can take them all." Lin Li said immediately.
“There’s no need for so much.” Taoist Shanqing smiled and waved his hand, moving closer to Lin Li, asking curiously, “Young friend, can you tell me more about your world?”
"can."
……
It was obvious that nearly a hundred years of loneliness had made Taoist Shanqing interested in everything. No matter how Lin Li described modern things, he was very curious and listened with great interest.
"Is it possible to achieve this without relying on magic? It is hard to imagine. Perhaps this is the wisdom of the human race. When they are unable to practice the immortal Taoism, they find ways to become stronger in other places."
Taoist Shanqing closed his eyes and tried to imagine the world in front of him, but he just couldn't imagine it.
Reluctantly, he opened his eyes, holding the phone lying beside him, continuously pressing the power button, watching it light up and go out, his eyes filled with emotion.
"I am completely unable to explore or deconstruct the mystery of this thing."
Just like in the doomsday world, the characters are common in both worlds. If we have to say the difference, it is probably because the immortal cultivation world mainly uses traditional Chinese characters, so Taoist Shanqing can generally understand it.
"Grandpa Shanqing, if you want to see the real picture, although I can't take you to the real world, I can download a few documentaries for you to watch next time." Lin Li said after hearing this.
Lin Li had quietly built a little relationship, and Taoist Shanqing had no objection to the small change in address.
"What is a documentary?" Taoist Shanqing asked.
"It's a film that records the changes in things. Um, as for what the film is, it's this..."
After anticipating the question from Taoist Shanqing, Lin Li took back his phone and showed it to Taoist Shanqing:
“This is a cartoon.”
“This is a video.”
"This one is yellow... Damn, let's skip this one."
"We'll skip this one too. This... Damn! Why is this happening? Who downloaded these videos to my phone?"
In fact, the mobile phone album is fine. If Lin Li opens the file assistant and finds the video storage path of QQ, Lin Li dares to say that nine out of ten are colors, and the remaining one is shit moved by group friends.
Taoist Shanqing: “?”
Otherwise, don't skip it.
"Forget it, Grandpa Shanqing, let's not watch it for now." Lin Li coughed twice and closed his phone, which damaged his image. "Anyway, it's a video like this - the photo stone, the photo talisman and so on.
Documentary is a long-term record of how my world develops.”
"Oh, then if you can bring it next time, I will be very grateful." Taoist Shanqing nodded expectantly, and then asked: "When will you leave, and when will you come next time?"
【0.09.26】
"Grandpa Shanqing, I'll be leaving in a few minutes."
Lin Li glanced at the system. After a long conversation, he didn't have much time left.
"But don't worry about this separation, because I should be back in an hour or two. Moreover, I personally think that in addition to documentaries, I should be able to bring back many mechanical creations that will make you less bored."
Lin Li said to Taoist Shanqing with a smile.
[I left home when I was young and returned when I was old. After saying goodbye to the beautiful lady, I no longer knew anyone in the real world. I felt lonely and speechless. At this time, I met an old man who was also lonely. Whether out of empathy or for the old man’s legacy, I might as well let him have a memorable old age! ]
[Task triggered! 】
[Task 4: Let the lonely old man feel unforgettable fun and happiness. ]
[Task Reward: Physical Improvement: Steady Dao Heart; Random System Item*1; System Currency*100. ]
This is the task that popped up by the system after I said yes not long ago.
But in fact, whether there is such a task or not, pleasing the person in front of you is definitely not a wrong option.
Not to mention whether he can absorb the spiritual energy in this forbidden area, it all depends on Taoist Shanqing's thoughts.
Secondly, Taoist Shanqing is a powerful person in the world of immortal cultivation, and he is also a remnant soul.
Damn it, Lin Li really wanted to imprison this old man in his "Qian Kun Ring".
I just need a golden finger like this!
This is the standard configuration for the protagonist.
Such a powerful person must have very rich experience, but Lin Li's current cultivation is completely chaotic. The cultivation given by the system is not "systematic". He hits the nail on the head here and there. Lin Li's current attainments in various aspects are not high.
It's impressive in reality, but terrible in the world of immortal cultivation.
If Taoist Shanqing is willing to teach me everything he knows, the benefits he can get are simply unimaginable.
Now that there is a mission, it only makes Lin Li more determined to do this.
It just so happens that he is now a lonely old man, and his psychological defenses are at their weakest!
Anyone who has played gal knows that this is the best time to attack.
Just a mobile phone could make Taoist Shanqing so surprised.
The indicator for Task 4 was a progress bar, and there was already some visible progress, albeit a small one. In other words, Taoist Shanqing felt genuinely happy just by chatting with Lin Li about reality.
What about the computer, and the games and movies on it?
Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to give it a try, just a few thousand yuan at most.
Taoist Shanqing was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded heavily: "Okay, my friend, then I am looking forward to your return."
"no problem."
"I will never take advantage of you for nothing. I can see that you are only just beginning to learn the basics of cultivation. You are just a blind man groping in the dark.
Regardless of whether what you bring back next time is interesting to me, based on your kindness, I will give you some careful guidance.
Although you no longer have a physical body and your knowledge may have lagged behind the outside world by a hundred years, it will definitely be of great benefit to your cultivation in this world."
"Grandpa, this is not what I want."
Lin Li waved his hands and said something against his will with a serious face.
Grandpa Niu, this is the picture.
Taoist Shanqing smiled kindly upon hearing this and patted Lin Li on the shoulder:
"Of course I know this is just the best I can do for you.
Lin Li, when I realized that you, a beginner in the field of Taoism, had the power of blessing from the people, I knew that you must have been a good person in your original world.
How could someone like you coax me for the sake of profit?"
Lin Li was stunned for a moment.
Ah? Wasn't that who I was? Wasn't that who I was?
"The power of the people's prayers?" After grasping the key words, Lin Li was a little confused, "Do I still have this thing on me?"
"Don't you know it yourself?" asked Taoist Shanqing.
Lin Li shook his head: "I don't know how this came about."
Who prays for himself for no reason?
Wu Min? But if it were Wu Min, she would definitely not be considered one of the people.
Before Lin Li got the system, he didn't do anything bad, but he didn't do anything good either.
"Yes, if you feel it carefully, you can feel that you don't know how to use this power of will. A lot of it has almost dissipated. But this can prove that you have been doing good things."
Taoist Shanqing looked at Lin Li with a more gratified look:
"Don't move, my friend. Your situation is special. I need to explain it in detail before I can help you figure out where this came from."
Taoist Shanqing put his hand on Lin Li's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Lin Li, who was touched, immediately stared at the system. If he felt uncomfortable, he would immediately click to return. At worst, when he came back next time, he could explain to Taoist Shanqing that it was the magic power that forced him to do so.
But Taoist Shanqing probably had no ill intentions, and Lin Li hardly felt that he had done anything to him.
After a long time, when the remaining time was almost over, Taoist Shanqing opened his eyes and sighed:
"Lin Li, you are indeed from another world. You are covered in a thick fog. Logically, with your level of cultivation, I should be able to see everything clearly at a glance and deduce a good deal. But I can see very little in you."
Now I believe Lin Li's words even more.
“The world is different. It’s normal that you can’t fully display your strength, Grandpa Shanqing.” Lin Li was actually more satisfied with this result, but he still said so on the surface.
“But fortunately, I am good at Taoism, and my familiarity with vows and blessings is among the best in the world. Although I cannot trace the location and time, I have analyzed the content of this vow in you.” Taoist Shanqing said later.
"What is it?" Lin Li asked curiously.
Taoist Shanqing smiled and gave the answer:
"Thank you, OP. May you live a peaceful life."
"The words of blessing for the people are almost the same, with only minor differences. My dear friend Lin Li, you must be the owner of a building that serves the people in the secular world. You are kind, very kind."
Taoist Shanqing cast a look of relief and encouragement towards Lin Li.
Lin Li: “(；☉_☉)?”
Eh? Wait?
?
What kind of prayer is this?
