2116. Chapter two thousand one hundred and sixteen
Lin Chong shook his head first, then nodded.
He had just entered the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm, his life span was damaged, his serious injury had not healed, and he didn't even know when he could break through the bottleneck of Gangjin. How could he find the path above Gangjin?
But Du Huaizhen's problem was obviously a reminder that he must prepare early.
Otherwise, like Chen Hanzhou, in order to find the path to Gangjin, he wasted decades of time in vain, but he could only compromise in the end.
Because Gangjin is the starting point of that road, once you choose, you cannot change it and you can only walk down.
If you want to change the route, unless you practice Sangong again, start over.
"A few days ago, I was meditating in the deep mountains. There was a heavy rain in the sky, and I felt something."
Lin Chong narrated in a plain tone: "The sun rises and sets, the four seasons change, the years change, the growth and withering of plants and trees, and the life and death of all things are all a cycle."
"What warriors pursue is to break this cycle and seek immortality and transcendence."
"The power to break the cycle comes from ourselves, so everything we experience in this process, whether beautiful or ugly, whether joy or sad, is the food that drives us to forge ahead."
"It's like a seed falling down on the branches and burying in the soil. It's brewing through time, absorbing nutrients, taking roots and sprouting, bathing in the sun, rain and dew, and growing vigorously."
“Aren’t we warriors like seeds?”
"The path you choose is to give up, to stop distracting thoughts, to abandon bonds, and to stay away from the world, so as to obtain complete liberation of body and mind, unrestrained, ethereal and free, first transcend yourself, then transcend the world."
"And I will use the seven emotions and six desires as nutrients, relatives, friends and love as anchors to perfect my mind and nature, and then pursue the peak of martial arts. Only in this way can I maintain the right direction and not lose myself."
Du Huaizhen listened quietly without saying a word.
After Lin Chong finished speaking, he nodded and said, "The path you chose is indeed different from mine, but the deeper the bond between you and the world is, the harder it will be torn apart in the future. Can you endure the pain of leaving your relatives and friends? When familiar people die one after another, looking at the world, you are the only one left, can you still maintain your current state of mind?"
"I have no idea."
Lin Chong looked calm: "I just think it's right to do this."
"Everyone has its own destiny. It's good to insist on doing what you think is right. Those who seek the truth will seek it as their own."
A faint look of relief appeared in Du Huaizhen's eyes. This rare expression of emotion made him feel a little more human. "Seeing you always reminds me of your father. If he knew you were now, he would probably feel very happy."
Lin Chong lowered his head, preventing Du Huaizhen from seeing his expression.
After a long time, Lin Chong asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Who is my father?"
Du Huaizhen said calmly: "He was named Lin and his name was Yuan. He was my third apprentice."
Lin Chong suddenly remembered the story Xu Jing told him.
Something hidden deep in my memory once again floated to the heart of Lin.
It turns out... Xu Jing didn't lie.
In other words, Lin Zhong had already had an answer in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it.
At this moment, Du Huaizhen broke the last layer of window paper in person, leaving Lin Chong no longer able to escape.
Lin Chong asked hard, "The story you asked Xu Jing to tell me is about my father?"
Du Huaizhen nodded again.
"Is he really killed by Qianji Sect?"
"Um."
Du Huaizhen looked up at the sky, and a trace of loneliness appeared in his golden eyes: "Don't consider avenging him, I have destroyed the Qianji Sect."
Lin Chong opened his mouth, choking in his throat, and didn't know where to start.
After a while, Lin Chong reorganized his thoughts and asked in a low voice: "Where is my mother?"
"Your father disappeared after his death and left a note, not allowing anyone to go to her."
Du Huaizhen glanced at Lin Chong and added: "She had just given birth to you."
Lin Chong took a deep breath: "What's her name?"
"Lin Lan."
“…”
Even though Lin Zhong was in a heavy mood, he couldn't help but look weird when he heard this.
His father and mother actually have the same surname?
So is he following his father's surname or his mother's surname?
Examples of marriages with the same surname are actually not uncommon. As long as the two parties are not related by blood or are not close relatives within three generations, then no one can care about them.
"Is my mother... still alive?"
Lin Chong clenched his fists on his side quietly and looked up to ask Du Huaizhen.
"It should be alive."
Du Huaizhen underestimated: "You are now the leader of the Martial Alliance, and you can investigate it yourself, why bother asking me?"
Lin Chong was speechless.
The atmosphere at the top of the peak was silent, and only the vast wind whistled continuously.
"You asked me to come just to tell me about this?"
After a long time, Lin Chong had no intention of speaking.
"The death of your father is the greatest regret in my life. He could have passed on my hand, but unfortunately he died in the middle, causing me to suffer the pain of the deceased and prompted me to make up my mind to truly embark on the road of dying from love and nature."
Du Huaizhen said calmly: "I don't want to leave with regrets, so I plan to meet you."
"leave?"
Lin Chong keenly grasped a word in Du Huaizhen's words: "Are you leaving Kunyu Mountain? Or leaving Yanhuang?"
“None are not.”
Du Huaizhen shook his head: "I want to leave this world."
Lin Chong's eyes suddenly widened and he carefully observed Du Huaizhen several times.
But no matter how you look at it, Du Huaizhen has no sign of the end.
As if seeing the doubts in Lin Zhong’s heart, Du Huaizhen explained: “I have said that heaven and earth are like cages, and the world is like a sea of suffering. When sentient beings are in it, life and death cannot be controlled. Only by breaking away from the cage and jumping out of the sea of suffering can we gain transcendence and freedom.”
“I always thought that was just your description…”
"No, I mean literally."
"How are you going to leave? Where are you going?"
"I don't know either."
Du Huaizhen shook his head again: "I came here following the insensation in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to transcend, and directly told me that that day was coming."
Lin Chong's thoughts turned sharply, suppressed his excitement and asked, "Can I watch?"
"I asked you to come, just to let you watch."
Du Huaizhen smiled at the corner of her mouth: "It's my last gift to you on behalf of your father."
"thank you."
The strongest man in the world bent down in front of Lin Chongchao bowed and bowed sincerely.
Looking at Lin Chong's white hair, Du Huaizhen suddenly stretched out his right hand and gently pressed Lin Chong's head.
An indescribable vast force instantly spread throughout Lin Chong's body.
Under the control of that force, Lin Chong couldn't help but sit cross-legged and pose with his five hearts facing the sky.
"The White Jade Capital in the Sky, the twelfth floor and the Five Cities."
Du Huaizhen chanted slowly: "The immortal supports your head and gives birth to immortality."
