The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 19 Suddenly
Yang Chan's expression remained unchanged. She straightened up, looked at the carp in the lotus pond, was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly.

“This is Huashan.”

"The owner of this place is the Three Holy Mothers."

Ding Lin said to himself, "As expected."

As Yang Chan spoke, she looked at Ding Lin. The latter's eyes did not change. If he had really never heard of this name, it would be normal for him to have this expression. If he had heard of it... I think based on what he saw that day, he should have expected something and should have had this expression.

For a moment I couldn't tell the difference.

"This body-cleansing pill I gave you needs to be stored in a special way. Once you take it out, it can only be kept for one hour before the medicinal effect is completely lost. You need to take thirty-seven pills of the body-cleansing pill."

Yang Chan spoke slowly.

"After thirty-seven pills, the turbid qi in the body will be completely removed. Although it is not possible to return to the original state, it can still improve the potential of the physical body to the extreme. I will give it to you slowly, as a reward for helping me solve my doubts."

"Thank you, fairy."

Ding Lin thanked him.

"I still have some things to take care of. I'll stop here today. I'll come back tomorrow to give you the elixir."

Yang Chan turned and left.

tomorrow……

Ding Lin looked at her departing back with his eyes narrowed, but he already understood in his heart that after taking these 37 pills, it would be time for him to leave.

There are still more than thirty days left. You must cherish the time you have here and practice more. Once you leave, it will be difficult to have the conditions for practicing here again.

Fortunately, I am no longer the weak little fish I used to be. I have more than 200 years of magic power. If I am careful, it should be enough for me to survive.

It's okay to leave.

The sky is high and the sea is vast outside.

He really wanted to go out and take a look.

Ding Lin didn't think any more, swung his tail, dived to the bottom of the water, took a bite of the cleansing pill and swallowed it whole.

The fourth one.

Another undercurrent...

……

In the days that followed, just as they had said that day, every morning when they woke up, Yang Chan would bring them a body-purifying pill. The immortal and the demon would sometimes say a few words, but more often they would remain silent.

Knowing that I was going to leave, and having already let the cat out of the bag.

Although Ding Lin was still careful when speaking, he no longer tried to please others or pretend to hide anything.

After all, apart from the secret buried deep in his heart, he is indeed innocent in this world.

Although I have never done good, I have never done evil.

There was no slip of the tongue.

……

In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

Early in the morning, Yang Chan came to the pool as usual, bent down and put down the pill.

The twenty-fourth pill.

Thirteen days left.

Ding Lin thanked Yang Chan, then dived into the water, swallowed the body cleansing pill, closed his eyes and refined it. Because the process was already halfway through, the pain was bearable, and Ding Lin no longer needed to roll around in the water.

The water was calm.

Yang Chan did not leave immediately. She stood by the pool, looking at the clear water in front of her. Her eyes seemed to see through the water and see Ding Lin under the water.

This carp spirit is really smart.

No.

It's no longer something that can be explained by intelligence.

I have lived for tens of thousands of years. Although I have not had the opportunity to study in these tens of thousands of years, but with the experience accumulated over these tens of thousands of years, I believe that my knowledge is not inferior to those learned people in the mortal world.

But that's just who I am.

Sometimes the carp spirit would inadvertently utter a few words.

But it is also unheard of.

When I think about it carefully again, I feel that every word is brilliant and shining.

This carp spirit is definitely not a newborn demon with a newfound intelligence. But he has been able to live peacefully for so many years under the illumination of the Precious Lotus Lamp, which shows that he is definitely not a master of soul-stealing and possession.

Could it be that his innate wisdom has been awakened?

But a person with innate wisdom is very smart, how could he have so many new words and witty phrases that even he himself had never heard of? Moreover, if he had innate wisdom, he must have been a cultivator in his previous life, and his cultivation was not low, at least a first-class soul, how could he have relied on the most basic breathing technique for so many years.

How can there be innate wisdom that only awakens literary talent and memory but has no experience in spiritual practice at all?

Yang Chan only felt that Ding Lin was shrouded in a layer of mist.

Can't see through.

Ding Lin naturally didn't know that, although he would not reveal anything at the moment based on his actions in this world, the subtle influence of so many years in his previous life and the few words he uttered by chance, standing on the shoulders of the advanced civilization of another world, were enough to amaze Yang Chan.

Can't see through...

Then you can't see through it.

Yang Chan withdrew her gaze.

Anyway, in thirteen days, he will be sent away.

A passer-by.

Although it made her curious, she didn't have to explore anything.

……

Turn around.

The breeze blows on my face.

The small courtyard was silent.

Yang Chan looked up at the sky, where the clouds were changing unpredictably.

I'm going to be alone again.

"You fish, do you also feel lonely?"

Unexpectedly, the scene of Hongli crying that night flashed through my mind again.

Lonely?
Already used to it.

After all, he was just a passer-by.

……

The days passed quickly.

In the early morning, Yang Chan brought another body-cleansing pill.

Ding Lin swallowed it in silence. Twelve days had passed. After swallowing this pill today, tomorrow would be the last day.

The pill rolled outside and inside the abdomen, and the pain it brought was almost gone.

After a moment, Ding Lin opened his eyes.

But suddenly, he saw a golden light approaching quickly from the sky. It slowed down a little not far away, but did not stop. Before he could think of it, it had passed through the courtyard like a gust of wind and went straight into the main hall.

……

"Girl, it's bad!"

In the main hall, Yang Chan opened her eyes from the cushion and heard an urgent call to her ears. There was only a door between them, but the voice went straight to the inner room.

"Yes, Brother Kang?"

Yang Chan said as she stood up from the mat.

The door was opened.

Standing outside the door was a sturdy man who looked to be about thirty years old. Yang Chan recognized him. He was General Kang, the eldest of the Six Sages of Meishan, who was Yang Jian's sworn brother.

"Brother Kang, didn't you go to the North Sea to slay monsters with my second brother? Why are you here? What happened?"

Yang Chan said.

"Hurry!" General Kang was anxious. "Sister, take the Lotus Lantern and follow us. The Second Master has been seriously injured and has been unconscious for a day and a night!"

what?
Yang Chan took a deep breath and managed to remain calm. Then, two clouds rose directly from the sky above the palace.

In the small pond, Ding Lin felt the water suddenly boil, and then the lotus leaves and lotus flowers rose into the air one after another, forming a precious lotus lantern in the air, shining brightly!
Clouds had risen up above the courtyard without anyone noticing. The immortal on the cloud waved his hand, and the Precious Lotus Lamp retracted its brilliance and fell directly into the immortal's arms.

"Brother Kang, let's go!"

Yang Chan said.

At this moment, another beam of light descended from the sky, and with a flash of light, a general in helmet and armor appeared.

"General Rolling Curtain."

General Kang recognized the man.
