Chapter 401: Xiao Linden and the Fairy

The Little Linden Fairy was stunned, stood up from the shrine and looked around the small temple.

The temple is not big, with only three rooms and three shrines.

This temple has no carved beams and painted buildings, nor golden gods and Buddhas. Outside the temple is only half an acre of land, planted with many lazy spiritual herbs, rooted in the soil, and from time to time some of them stretch their bodies and yawn.

Behind the temple, there is another temple, which is not spacious and has only one shrine.

What surprised her most was that sunlight shone through both temples, and she could also sense the positive energy brought by the starlight and moonlight.

Chen Shi speculated, "When you merged with your original world, you became evil. But your original world was destroyed. When you returned to the world of the living and came to Xiniu Island, you happened to be seriously injured and was rescued by me."

He secretly checked the fairy's face, and seeing that she looked normal, he breathed a sigh of relief: "She probably doesn't remember that I hit her on the head."

"After you were seriously injured, you have been recuperating in my small temple. Perhaps as your injuries slowly healed, you were able to merge with the heaven and earth in my small temple."

Chen Shi continued, "So, you won't turn evil in my little temple. But when you go outside and are polluted by the outside world, you will turn evil. Maybe this is why I can pull out your evil hair."

Fairy Little Linden thought: "That is to say, I must be near you to avoid evil. If I am too far away from you, I will become evil. Is that right?"

Chen Shi thought about it and said, "That should be the case."

The fairy's face darkened, and Chen Shi suddenly felt as if the sky was pressing down on him, extremely heavy!

"The world I can move around in is only this small, so why should I cultivate immortality?"

Fairy Xiao Linden was displeased, staring at him and said, "I am practicing Taoism in your little temple. Am I practicing your immortality?"

Chen Shi nodded: "Probably so."

Fairy Xiao Linden's hands trembled slightly, and after a moment she calmed down and said, "Why is there no evil spirit in the world of your little temple?"

Chen Shi guessed, "The three lights of the sun, moon and stars in my small temple all come from the Chinese Divine Continent. They contain the righteousness of heaven and earth, and no evil exists. But my temple is too small. If you want to be in harmony with the Tao, you can only be this small."

Little Linden Fairy thought: "Can such a small temple stop me from becoming evil?"

She looked toward the top of the temple, where the sky of China appeared.

"If we can unite the heaven and earth in that place..."

She flew up, trying to break through the constraints of space and fly into the Chinese mainland.

Although she has not mastered the Dao much, her cultivation strength is truly terrifying. She even disappeared into the sky of China, as if she was walking into another world!
Chen Shi was shocked. He had once tried to enter the Chinese Divine Continent from the sky of the small temple, but his head only hit the temple roof. To him, the Chinese Divine Continent on the temple roof was just a projection of the real Divine Continent, but to Fairy Xiao Linden, the distance between the two worlds was very close.

She seemed to have walked into the divine land of China and appeared in the sky of that mysterious place.

Suddenly, another world above the small temple fell into darkness, with wind and clouds rolling, lightning and thunder, and countless thunders crackling and hitting the fairy's body!

The voices of gods and demons continued to shake between heaven and earth, as if a god was exerting immense power to prevent her from coming!
The little linden fairy was finding it increasingly difficult, as if every step forward encountered enormous resistance!
Countless natural talismans rapidly formed between the sky and earth in front of her, forming a huge "愆" character!

The word "愆" stood in front of her, making her look extremely small, and pressing down on her like a mountain.

The little lime fairy groaned as she was struck by a bolt of lightning. She bounced back from another time and space, staggered to the ground, and almost fell.

Blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth and she looked up at the sky.

In another time and space on the top of the temple, the thunder and dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the word "愆" also slowly disappeared.

Chen Shi's heart was slightly moved: "The one who committed the crime is guilty. Why did such a strange phenomenon occur when she entered Huaxia Shenzhou?"

"Is it really impossible to leave this world and go to Shenzhou?"

Fairy Xiao Linden coughed up blood, feeling lost, and whispered, "This Shenzhou, the heaven and earth are complete. If we can achieve harmony there, we won't have to worry about evil changes. Could this Shenzhou be the ancestral land?"

She had just tried to force her way into China and was severely injured. Her energy was not as strong as before.

Chen Shi's heart was slightly moved, and he asked, "Is the ancestral land mentioned by the fairy also the Chinese Continent?"

"My ancestors were exiled here during the Shang Dynasty. Eighty thousand years into the Shang Dynasty, the Xuanniao Heavenly Palace was established in the Chinese Divine Continent, where the emperors of the past dynasties, such as Shangjia, Dayi, Taijia, and Taigeng, were enshrined as ancestral gods."

Fairy Little Linden looked at the shrine where she usually sat. She wanted to sit on it to heal her wounds, but she didn't know how to start. She said, "At that time, the immortals and the heaven ruled the world together. Later, they were destroyed by the Zhou people, who destroyed my Xuanniao Heaven and exiled us to the Dark Sea. We found this place and settled down. By my generation, it had already declined."

Chen Shi was dumbfounded. He stepped forward to help her walk towards the shrine and asked, "When did the war between Shang and Zhou take place?"

The little linden fairy wanted to struggle, but she was seriously injured, so she had to sit on the shrine with the help of Chen Shi.

When Chen Shi activated the sixth new talisman, she suddenly felt that the true energy of the two of them was connected, which made her injuries alleviated a lot without her noticing.

Fairy Xiao Linden felt warm in her heart, and secretly glanced at Chen Shi. She felt a strange emotion in her heart, and shook her head and said, "I have been asleep for too long, and I don't know how the world has changed. But Shiji should know. She was also a demon fairy and a monster fairy at that time, and was later killed and became a god of the Zhou people."

She suppressed her injuries and sneered, "The Zhou people established a fake heaven, which shows that Shiji is also a traitor!"

Chen Shi thought to himself, "No wonder Lady Shiji is afraid of her."

He cheered up: "What are your plans for the future, fairy?"

Fairy Xiao Linden said: "My injuries have not yet healed, and I need to stay in your small temple for a while. When my injuries are healed, I will cut off my own realm and avoid merging with the heaven and earth, and then I can leave this place. At that time, I will try to leave here and find a way to return to the ancestral land of China."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Fairy, just stay here. Do you still remember how you ended up in your current situation?"

Fairy Xiao Linden said, "I remember. When my world was destroyed, I cut off a piece of heaven and earth and sealed myself in the small world, hoping to avoid the evil. I left a white jade path outside this world to connect to the outside world, so that I could return to the world when the outside world returned to normal. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I saw that the outside world had returned to normal, but a group of people in strange clothes built a palace and suppressed me inside, making it impossible for me to return to the world."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "She must be talking about the True King. The True King was worried that she would become a disaster if she came to the outside world, so he built the Moon-Grabbing Palace to suppress her in the world at the end of the White Jade Path."

He suddenly thought, would the fairy from Qixia Temple really transform into evil and cause disasters after coming to the outside world?
Logically speaking, the True King would not act without a purpose. He must have seen similar situations before, which is why he was so nervous and built the Moon-Grabbing Palace to block the White Jade Path.

However, when the Little Linden Fairy came to the real world, she did not immediately turn evil.

"Perhaps she was severely injured by the Nine Palaces of the True King right after she appeared, and her cultivation was almost gone. After she fainted, she had no contact with the outside world, and was placed in the small temple by me to recuperate, which is why she did not turn evil."

Chen Shi thought, this is just a guess, whether it is correct or not still needs to be verified.

Fairy Xiao Linden continued, "I had no choice but to fall into a deep sleep again to delay the evil transformation. Later, when the Moon-Grabbing Palace was destroyed, I woke up again and found a half-immortal from the Void Realm approaching. I took the opportunity to escape into that realm, but was attacked and severely damaged by those people who sacrificed nine palaces. I tried my best to block the attack and climb onto the Immortal Bridge, trying to come back to life. At that time, I was already exhausted, and when I saw you sitting on a big rock, I wanted to ask you for help."

Chen Shi was completely relieved and thought to himself, "She really doesn't remember that I threw a rock at her."

"My cultivation was severely damaged, and my foundation was nearly destroyed. When I reached the middle of the bridge, I couldn't hold on any longer, and I rolled off the bridge and passed out."

Little Linden Fairy recalled the past and said, "Later, I woke up in a daze. I seemed to see a figure standing next to me, holding up a huge rock. Then my head sank and I fainted again."

Chen Shi's expression remained unchanged: "At that time, the Immortal Bridge had already crashed into the underworld, and the one who injured you was a ghost from the underworld. I just woke up from my trance and fought hard to drive him away. I rescued you and found that you were already unconscious, and when you woke up, you had lost your memory. You were injured again, so I had to take care of you. Over time, you and I fell in love, and that's how we got married."

Fairy Xiao Linden stared at her own heart of Taoism. After a moment, she realized her past events one by one and said, "When I was unconscious, I lost my memory and fell into a state of stupidity, so I developed feelings for you. This is not your fault. However, you must not do this in the future. You and I are cultivators, and we cannot think about the pleasures of the flesh and delay our cultivation."

Chen Shi asked, "You are an immortal who has killed three corpses and achieved enlightenment. Will you give birth to three corpses again when you are unconscious?"

Fairy Xiao Linden said: "Practicing Taoism is to cultivate the mind, and one needs to constantly reflect on oneself. Although killing the three corpses is effective, if one indulges the mind, the three corpses will come back again and one's realm will fall."

Chen Shi asked, "Why do we have to kill the three corpses?" Fairy Xiao Linden originally wanted to enter a state of meditation to heal her injuries, but after hearing this, she said seriously, "When merging with heaven and earth, if the heart of the Tao still has seven emotions and six desires, it will be difficult to merge with heaven and earth. The three corpses must be eliminated in order to achieve perfect merging with the Tao."

Chen Shi was puzzled and said, "The evil energy between heaven and earth is so heavy that when one is in harmony with the Tao, one will become evil. Without the seven emotions and six desires, one will also have no concept of good and evil. Could it be that this is the reason why when one is in harmony with the Tao, one will be controlled by the evil energy and become evil?"

Fairy Little Linden was stunned and shook her head, "I have never thought about it."

Chen Shi said: "He Dao Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth are inherently ruthless? If Heaven and Earth are ruthless, why do we have living beings? If Heaven and Earth are emotional, why does He Dao have to kill the three corpses?"

Fairy Xiao Linden was unable to answer for a moment, and said, "I need to enter a state of meditation to heal my injuries. When my injuries are healed, I will cut off my own realm, and then I will separate from you."

Chen Shi consciously left the small temple.

Fairy Little Linden closed her eyes and tried to meditate, but Chen Shi's voice and smile appeared in her mind, and she thought of all the situations in her bridal chamber with him, and she found it difficult to calm down for a while.

"Why do you still want to kill the three corpses? If you don't kill the three corpses, all you can see is him! How can you practice?" She couldn't help but said angrily.

She gradually entered into a state of meditation.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that Chen Tang was still staring at him.

Chen Shi gritted his teeth and was about to accept Chen Tang's lecture when suddenly a fragrant breeze blew into his nose and the little lime fairy flew out of the small temple, threw herself into his arms and hugged him.

"Husband!" Her voice was sickeningly sweet.

Chen Shi shuddered, his scalp tingled, his body tensed, and his hair stood on end.

Chen Tang was also startled. His hand was already on the hilt of the Xuanwei sword at his waist, ready to draw the sword at any time and fight to the death with the evil immortal.

"Husband, husband!" Xiao Linyi did not look evil at all. Instead, she hugged Chen Shi even tighter and rubbed against his chest.

Chen Tang's hand holding the sword was shaking, and he didn't dare to draw it. He thought to himself: "My box is still at home..."

Chen Shi bravely pushed Xiao Linden's shoulder, coughed, and said, "My father is still here."

Xiao Linden's body stiffened when he heard this. He turned his head and glanced at Chen Tang quietly. His face turned red with shame. He let go of Chen Shi and said timidly, "Dad..."

"I dare not!" Chen Tang was almost frightened out of his wits and said hurriedly.

Wu Qingyu's voice came: "Xiao Shi, Xiao Lin, why didn't you enter the bridal chamber, but ran out instead?"

Chen Tang quickly waved at her, signaling her not to come over.

Wu Qingyu smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, come here, let me take a look at you!"

Xiao Linden walked over hesitantly.

Chen Tang and Chen Shi, father and son, felt their scalps tingling as they watched the two girls walk away.

Chen Shi immediately realized that the shrine in the small temple was empty and the Little Linden Fairy was not on the shrine!
The one who left with her mother Wu Qingyu was the Little Linden Fairy!

However, there was something obviously wrong with this little linden fairy. She looked more like the little linden fairy who had not recovered her memory!
"Evil son, come with me!"

Chen Tang took him to a secluded place, and seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either!"

Chen Shi cried out in injustice, then suddenly came to his senses and said, "She was seriously injured. Maybe after entering into a state of meditation, her consciousness fell into a state of neither thought nor non-thought, and then Xiao Linden woke up. Xiao Linden has no memory of her, so she is very close to me. When she wakes up from her meditation, Xiao Linden will disappear and become the Xiao Linden Fairy."

Chen Tang frowned: "Why would this happen? She had just left, why did she come back? Could she turn evil?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "She won't become evil in my little temple, but she will become evil if she leaves too far away. She needs to stay and heal her injuries first."

Chen Tang frowned even more tightly: "How did you get hurt? You were fine when you left just now."

Waves of fog came and submerged the father and son. In the fog, the huge monster approached the village quietly and silently.

Chen Shi's mind moved slightly, and a raging fire ignited in his body, which soon burned the meat until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the aroma of meat filling his nose.

It became hostile towards Huangpo Village and tried to spit out mist into the village to capture a few living people to taste it. However, it unknowingly stepped into Chen Shi's realm of ghosts and gods and was roasted by Chen Shi.

Chen Shi shouted, "Xiao Lin, bring a few villagers here, divide this scorpion, and give some to every household!"

"Hey--"

Xiao Linyi agreed, went to Chen's house to change clothes, and came over with a few villagers to divide the meat.

Chen Tang looked at the girl, but couldn't connect her with the evil fairy just now.

The fleeting glimpse just now brought Chen Tang tremendous pressure and fear. Just one look from the fairy made him feel like he was going to explode and die.

Chen Shi actually ordered her around, which made him feel an inexplicable fear.

Chen Shi said: "She was slightly injured in my little temple. Don't worry, she will leave after she recovers. Even if she causes trouble, it won't harm us."

"I hope so."

Chen Tang warned Chen Shi, "Don't touch her! Otherwise, when the fairy wakes up and finds out that she has been defiled by you, she will be furious and everyone will die!"

"Dad, what do you mean by being defiled by me?"

Chen Shi said angrily, "I am the top scholar after all!"

Chen Tang warned: "No matter what, don't let Peng Qiao control you! Otherwise, you can kill the three corpses! No, no! It's too early for you to kill the three corpses now. My Chen family has no descendants yet..."

He hesitated.

Chen Shi looked at Xiao Linden's figure and thought of the cold face of the fairy Xiao Linden. He shuddered, but then he thought of the situation in the bridal chamber. His heart was distracted and his lust was aroused.

He just felt that Peng Qiao was about to make a move again, so he quickly calmed himself down and tried to eliminate Peng Qiao's influence on himself.

Not long after, they finished cutting up Shen Shen. After Xiao Linyin delivered the meat to the villagers, he returned to Chen Shi and took him to a secluded place.

"Husband, kiss me, kiss me!" She looked up at Chen Shi expectantly, as if she had tasted the sweetness of it.

Chen Shi looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help being moved. He thought to himself, "The fairy is in meditation, I'll just kiss her, she won't notice..."

Their hearts were pounding, and when their lips touched, they felt soft, wet and slippery, and at that moment, a chill came over them.

"Beast."

Chen Shi opened his eyes and saw the two of them kissing each other, but Little Linden Fairy was looking at him with her eyes open, without any lust in them.

"I'm not, fairy, please listen to my explanation..."
