The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 31 Release
"Not only does he enjoy the salary from the Heavenly Court, but he also has a vast and beautiful Taoist temple, and he also has the incense offerings from Huashan, one of the Five Great Mountains..."

The full moon hangs low.

The lights were on for half a day, making the night seem like day.

The brilliant lights reflected on Yang Chan's face and neck, making her skin look as white as snow.

Ding Lin looked up at Yang Chan's cheek.

Being looked at like this, Yang Chan gradually became unable to continue speaking. She paused, lowered her head slightly, and let the darkness cover her face.

The voice also became lower.

"Although the temple is a little deserted, Huashan is vast and the scenery is magnificent and beautiful..."

The voice became increasingly weaker.

Finally, he couldn't continue speaking and let out a sigh.

"Since we were able to get by in the past, we will be able to get by in the future as well..."

The last few words were barely audible.

Ding Lin listened silently, pursed his lips tightly, and a strong sense of guilt surged in his heart.

There was silence for a while.

"sorry."

Ding Lin spoke, his voice was dry and unpleasant.

"Didn't you know this would happen? Why are you apologizing again?"

Yang Chan raised her head, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her smile was as pale as the lamplight.

There was another moment of silence.

"The place where I found you was a small lake seventy miles west of Jishui. Jishui is at the northernmost tip of Xiniu Hezhou. You can find it if you keep walking west..."

"And the one who was with you at that time... Her true form was actually a dragon fish. The green fish you saw actually had another reason. She was a descendant of the dragon clan of the four seas. She was taken away by the fourth princess of the East China Sea. Maybe she is in the East China Sea now, or maybe... I'm not too sure. I have some friendship with the fourth princess. If you have a high enough realm in the future, you can also go to the East China Sea to look for her... This piece of dragon scale was given to me by the fourth princess. I'll give it to you as a token of my love..."

Yang Chan changed the subject, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and she pinched out a fist-sized scale.

"Oh, right? I don't think you know the spell of storing items. There doesn't seem to be any spell of this kind in the Black Water Sutra. It's just a very simple little spell..."

Yang Chan began to tell the story.

When we parted, I had thousands of things to say to each other, but as soon as I said them, they all became ramblings and were insignificant.

One person, one fish.

On shore and in water.

The immortal preaches and the carp listens.

There was a surging crowd of people all around, but no one paid attention to this scene which seemed extremely magical to mortals. Even if someone passed by, they turned a blind eye to it, as if this corner had been forgotten by the mortals.

It's said to be simple.

It lasted for several hours.

"…Actually, it's just a little trick to control the demonic energy. Do you understand?"

Yang Chan finally finished her story, looked at Ding Lin, and handed the dragon scale in her hand to him.

Ding Lin was silent. He opened his mouth and exhaled a ball of black evil spirit, which opened in front of the fish's mouth, like a strange door, swallowing up the dragon scale.

Afterwards, the evil spirit rose and fell, and was about to disappear.

"Don't rush to collect them," Yang Chan said gently, "There are still these..."

Yang Chan took out another jade bottle.

"These are some medicinal pills. You can't use them now, but keep them. When you condense the demon pill in the future, you can save some time for cultivation. And this..."

As Yang Chan spoke, she seemed to remember something. She raised her free hand to the top of her head and pulled out the wooden hairpin that was slanted in her hair.

Her head of black hair was loose.

Yang Chan handed the hairpin to Ding Lin.

The precious light is warm and moist.

In this almost explicit situation, even Ding Lin, who had average eyesight, could see some of the mysteries of this hairpin.

Although it has been hidden, there is still a hint of sharpness escaping.

This is not a wooden hairpin at all.

It should be a weapon.

"You are familiar with the means of protecting the Dao in the Black Water Scripture. Most of them require the use of weapons. The Black Dragon Sword is also the best written in the sword chapter. I have hidden this long sword. It looks like a hairpin on weekdays. As long as you input mana, it will immediately show its original form. It is not a treasure, but a standard weapon of the Heavenly Court. It is quite sharp and should be enough for you to use after you form the elixir."

Ding Lin did not make any move to accept it. He pursed his lips tighter through the black evil spirit. An impulse brewed in his chest and suddenly blurted out.

"I……"

"Oh, how could I have forgotten the most important thing?"

Yang Chan interrupted Ding Lin and stuffed the jade bottle and the hairpin into the black evil spirit in front of Ding Lin. A spiritual light flashed in her palm again. This time it was a very soft light, with a hint of green in the dim yellow. When the spiritual light faded, the true form was a withered lotus leaf. Only the veins in the middle still had a hint of green, which was extremely vivid and full of vitality. "This is a piece of the leaf that fell off when the Precious Lotus Lantern was still incubating in the lotus pond. Only a little vitality is left. It is not precious. It is useless to me now. You can take it. If you are traveling, if... it may save your life."

Ding Lin looked at Yang Chan deeply.

There was another silence.

"Thank you."

After a long time, Ding Lin spoke with difficulty.

The words that had just been interrupted were not uttered again.

It's really strange. When we parted, I had thousands to say to each other, but after I said it, only two or three words remained.

Another moment of silence.

There seemed to be nothing to say.

"Just go ahead."

Yang Chan said, she stood up, the light of the full moon shone on her face, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Wow!"

The fish's tail swings.

Turn around.

"Actually, you've already guessed it. If we meet again, you can call me..."

Yang Chan's voice came from behind.

"Yang Chan."

Ding Lin turned his head and pursed his lips hard.

"My name is not Jin Lin either. Remember, my name is Ding Lin."

"Ding of lilac, Lin of peach forest."

This is a name that I brought over from my previous life.

There was silence for a while.

"I got it."

Yang Chan nodded.

Ding Lin turned around and swam forward, his fish tail waving, breaking the surface of the river.

Also shattered was the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month reflected on the surface of the river.

"Go ahead..."

On the shore, Yang Chan waved.

……

"Remember, never give your love to a mortal again!"

Walk to halfway point.

At a certain moment, Ding Lin suddenly turned around and shouted.

Then, he resolutely swung his tail and dived into the deep water.

Ding Lin didn't look back.

……

On the shore, another prayer lantern was lit, swaying and rising into the sky, even though the future was unpredictable.

……

The world is so vast, where should we go?

After a brief thought, Ding Lin decided to head west and visit the place where he had lived when he first came to this world.

My heart is filled with thousands of emotions and my thoughts are in a mess.

Ding Lin pressed them all down, stopped thinking about them for the moment, and transformed all the energy in his body into strength, swimming non-stop.

Swim westward without stopping.

……

one day.

Ding Lin swam along the entire length of the moat and saw a raging torrent before him.

"what!"

Ding Lin shouted loudly to vent his anger.
