Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 350 Taking a Stroll Through the Human World

After visiting the grave, the group did not leave Baishan. Instead, they returned to the carriage, intending to send the elderly couple back to Cangsong first, and then stay in Cangsong for a few more days.

Lin Shengfeng's condition has stabilized, and his lost memories have been restored through this experience.

Although many memories remain scattered like petals, he has indeed remembered his grandson and wife.

Inside the carriage, Lin Shengfeng held Lin Jiang's hand tightly.

"Grandson, you, you really survived."

"Yes, I really survived."

"That method actually worked..."

Lin Shengfeng suddenly stopped speaking, his throat tightening as if something was stuck in it, the sound lingering in his throat:
"What was that method again? What was that method again?"

Seeing that Lin Shengfeng's mental state was becoming unstable again, Lin Jiang hurriedly interrupted his reminiscence:

"It's not important, it's really not a big deal."

"Oh."

Lin Shengfeng's turbulent thoughts gradually calmed down.

Lin Jiang knew perfectly well that he absolutely could not let Lin Shengfeng remember anything about cultivation at this moment.

After all, the other party had suffered a mental breakdown due to the method of ascending to immortality, and the hidden danger was still lurking deep in the old man's mind, only temporarily sealed off by Lin Jiang's methods.

Once remembered, the old man will likely repeat his past mistakes and fall into the same madness he once did.

It's already a miracle that he's regained his normal thinking; let him rest and recuperate.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Lin Shengfeng muttered, a simple and honest smile spreading across his face again: "Grandson, will you stay here from now on?"

Lin Jiang hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, and finally shook his head gently.

A look of fear immediately crossed Lin Shengfeng's face:
"Grandson, where are you going?"

"I might have to head west."

"why?"

"Grandpa, let me tell you in detail."

Lin Jiang recounted his experiences over the past few days to Lin Shengfeng, but omitted the details of the elixir formula.

Lin Shengfeng's thoughts were still not very stable, so Lin Jiang decided to try to avoid topics that might cause problems with his thinking.

After listening to Lin Jiang's words, Lin Shengfeng understood that he had something important to do next.

Even so, the old man's face was still shrouded in an indelible worry.

Although he has regained his memories, Lin Shengfeng is still quite childish in both personality and thoughts, so he is naturally reluctant to let Lin Jiang leave.

After careful consideration, a look of near-fear flashed across Lin Shengfeng's face:

"Grandson, are you going to fight those calamity-like creatures? What are they called again? Like... disasters..."

Lin Jiang immediately realized that Lin Shengfeng was referring to a calamity, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should mention it to him.

After all, calamities are closely related to his cultivation methods, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't recall his cultivation techniques after remembering them.

Seeing Lin Jiang remain silent, Lin Shengfeng felt he had guessed what the other was thinking, and his face grew even more anxious:

"No, no! Those disasters are too dangerous. Your parents died there."

Lin Shengfeng's words suddenly froze Lin Jiang, who was still organizing his thoughts.

My parents died there?

"Didn't they say it was a plague?"

Lin Jiang blurted out, and fragments of Lin Shengfeng's past memories immediately surfaced in his mind.

In his memory, he saw the couple step into a thick, dark fog, but their behavior didn't seem like they were actually walking into the fog.

They seemed to be unable to see the fog.

Yet it was so vivid in my memory, almost like a strange phenomenon that only Lin Shengfeng could see.

But if all memories are based on what he saw, then why didn't he stop it since he saw it?

Lin Shengfeng clenched his fists and pounded them against his head, as if forcibly retrieving memories from the depths of his mind, muttering to himself:
"What disaster was it again...? There was an outbreak of disease on the west side of the town, and I sent them to check it out. That's when they discovered that deadly thing was hiding there. By the time I rushed there and pacified the town, they were already terminally ill, and they even infected you... I tried everything I could, but I couldn't save them, I just couldn't..."

She spoke and cried at the same time, while forcefully hitting her head with her hands.

Lin Jiang immediately grabbed Lin Shengfeng's hand and injected some vital energy into his body, which calmed Lin Shengfeng down.

Given Lin Shengfeng's current state, it's impossible for him to properly investigate what happened back then.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, it's all in the past..."

Wen Xiangyi quickly hugged Lin Shengfeng, gently stroking his trembling back with her hands.

His tense body finally calmed down like the tide, but a lingering turbidity remained in his eyes.

Lin Jiang turned his gaze to Yu Wenyun and Yi Er San.

Yu Wenyun, still in the driver's seat, shook his head helplessly.

Even a warrior with the strength to crush mountains cannot twist the delicate thread of the heart.

After a moment's hesitation, he took out a red candle with crimson patterns coiled around it from his sleeve:

"This red candle of mine can temporarily lock away memories and stop the torrent of thoughts. But it is only a temporary measure. If the root cause is not addressed, the erosion of time will make it difficult to guarantee that the wall will remain intact."

"Let's seal that part of his memory first, and then I'll think of a way."

After hurriedly finishing his sentence, Lin Jiang paused briefly and then added:

"Never try to access the old man's memories." Even before his head was injured, Lin Shengfeng's cultivation was already extraordinary, but he still couldn't withstand the influence of the Ascension Mountain method.

The mental state of Yi, Er, and San is already fragile, and if they are stimulated by this method, it is hard to guarantee that something will not happen.

Zhao Liulang sent Lin Jiang out with Yi, Er, and San to seek out a strange Western doctor for treatment. If Lin Jiang were to suffer misfortune in Zhao Liulang's hands, he would have no way to explain himself.

He nodded in agreement and then lit a red candle.

A faint fragrance wafted from the candle wick, quickly filling the entire room.

Because of the magic she used, the illusion of "Transforming All Things" that she wore gradually faded away, revealing her original gorgeous clothes and true appearance.

Everyone held their breath and watched nervously. Time passed quietly, and after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the first, second, and third people slowly opened their eyes.

She looked slightly tired, and seeing so many people staring at her, she suddenly blushed with embarrassment.

"Oh dear, it's really embarrassing that everyone is staring at me."

Finding nothing amiss with the other person, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As the incense and candles burned out, Lin Shengfeng suddenly felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. He shook his head and asked, puzzled:
"Grandson, what happened just now?"

There's nothing unusual about him anymore; at most, he's just a slightly confused old man.

The thoughts in his mind should have been gathered again under the effect of the first three methods and gathered deep in his head. In this way, Lin Shengfeng will not be driven to the brink of collapse by his memories for the time being.

"It's alright, you're probably just too tired and had a really long dream."

"Oh, that's good then." Lin Shengfeng smiled sheepishly: "What a big dream."

Wen Xiangyi took Lin Shengfeng's hand, and the two elderly people sat down on the bench by the window.

Seeing that nothing had happened, Lin Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He found a corner of the carriage and sat down, and the words of Old Master Lin just now involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

A town in the west.

To the west should be the location of the White Mountain Sect, but are there any other towns or settlements?
Lin Jiang searched his memory, but found nothing.

The original owner of this body rarely traveled west and even less frequently interacted with martial arts figures from the White Mountain Sect.

If you want to find out what's going on over there, you'll probably have to ask someone from the White Mountain Sect.

Lin Jiang sighed softly.

This matter is more complicated than Lin Jiang had imagined.

I wonder if this journey of exploration will lead to the truth.

……

After returning to Cangsong, Lin Jiang and his group rested for five whole days.

The past five days have been peaceful, and everyone has simply been resting here.

During the day, Lin Jiang accompanied his grandparents, and the three of them explored the entire Cangsong area. They also spent two days in Hanbai.

Even though he regained some of his thoughts, many memories in Lin Shengfeng's mind had faded away with time.

The past is gone and can hardly be retrieved, but as we move forward, we will naturally create more memories.

Through gradual accumulation, the missing parts of Lin Shengfeng's life will eventually be rewritten, filling in the past.

After nightfall, they would plan the rest of their trip.

After leaving Cangsong, he needed to go to Baishan again, and on the way, visit the Baishan Sect to inquire about the situation of the town that had been ravaged by disaster.

If the town is safe and sound, continue south.

Beyond the border of Daxing lies the site of the main battlefield of the Battle of Dianxing, where, according to legend, clues to Ye Wanzhuang remain.

Afterwards, they will head south, searching for traces of Lixin Guang and the old man riding a donkey, while also making their way towards Lan Ke, striving to reach the other side before the fog thickens, and attempting to climb the immortal mountain.

Although there may be some risks along the way, they are not a concern for this team.

During his stay in Cangsong, Yu Wenyun also informed the capital about the matter of Baishan Registrar.

This matter will reach Zhao Liulang's ears directly. Given how much attention Zhao Liulang pays to their team, it won't be long before someone from the capital goes to Baishan County.

Then, whatever the registrar wanted to do, he could naturally get the answer out of his mouth.

On the fifth day, they prepared their carriages and horses early in the daytime, intending to take advantage of the fine weather to head to Baishan.

Wen Xiangyi and Lin Shengfeng came out together to see them off, their eyes filled with reluctance.

Seeing that Lin Jiang was determined to leave, Wen Xiangyi hesitated for a moment before swallowing her words of pleas to stay.

She simply reached out and straightened Lin Jiang's clothes, then gently nudged Lin Shengfeng, who was still in a daze beside her, with her elbow.

"Grandpa and Grandma, your grandson is taking his leave." Lin Jiang stepped forward and hugged the old woman, then turned and boarded the carriage.

Wen Xiangyi waved goodbye, her eyes filled with longing.

Only then did Lin Shengfeng belatedly realize what was happening. Looking at Lin Jiang walking further and further away, he opened his mouth and asked the same question Lin Jiang had asked when he left:

"Grandson, grandson! Where are you going next?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang's thoughts became hazy.

He remembered the last time he left Cangsong. At that time, he was heading north. That day, to prevent his grandfather from worrying, Lin Jiang told Lin Shengfeng that he was going to ascend to immortality.

Using this phrase now seems a bit impractical.

After thinking about it carefully, he said:
"I plan to wander around the world and see the sights."
