At this moment, Lin Luoran has no mood to care about the bystanders. She must focus on the giant snake on the square.
Have the red snake reborn, or is this the posthumous child of it?
Lin Luoran worries more about the second possibility. Snakes are semi-oviparous animals, but they are not hermaphroditic. If this is the posthumous child of the red snake, there may be a chance that a male snake still lives somewhere and it may come out and hurt people someday.
In order to make sure the possibility, Lin Luoran covers the giant snake with Reiki and plans to take it home to make research on it.
The giant snake shrinks into its normal size.
Goldie spreads its wings and Lin Luoran jumps onto its back. She can feel the unstable fluctuation of vital energy and blood inside Goldie. Something unexpected has happened to Goldie. Lin decides to check on its condition after they get back home.
The courageous news pre
Poisons and their antidotes usually accompany each other.The ancients said that there must be an antidote wherever a poisonous snake lives. Though this is certainly an exaggeration, it is true to an extent. Nevertheless, the antidote Lin Luoran makes this time origins from the blood of the poisonous snake. The red snake is highly toxic. Unlike the other poisonous snakes which only have a poison gland, this one is poisonous in its saliva, blood, and skin. Lin Luoran has a thought that why the snake itself is unharmed by the poison.Clearly, the snake has an antidote in its body. After Lin burns the snake and purifies it, she gets some golden dust. The golden dust, which can’t even be destroyed by the Strange Fire, hides in the snake’s blood. Lin Luoran runs a test of it on the snake poison she preserves and finds it effective. Under the principle of wasting nothing, she takes half of the golden dust and adds some s
Li Anping looks at the doorplate of the house. This is the address which is written on the envelope. Li knocks at the door. A young boy opens the door. He asks alarmedly,“How can I help you?”Li Anping fakes a gentle smile and says, “Hi there, can you give this letter to the adults of your family?”Lin Luodong can’t help rolling his eyes. The man in front of him has dark circles under his eyes and he is fat. He looks even older than Lin’s father. Luodong holds back his desire to call this man “uncle” and takes the envelope. There is only the address without the name of the recipient, on the envelope. This man doesn’t even look like a postman or a delivery guy. Lin Luodong is smart. He never lets others into the house easily. He asks the man whether he has other requirements or not. After Li Anping says no, Luodong closes the door. Li Anping notices the elegant wooden building and the well-decorated y
It only takes two hours to get to Yueyang from Changsha by train. It’s drizzling today. There is mist over the lake. Though it’s the 21st century, old-style fishing boats are floating on the lake. Lin Luoran and Rong Donglin stand on the bank of Dongting Lake. Gentle wind is blowing. Their clothes are wet even though they are holding an umbrella. The lake waves. Dongting Lake has become much smaller than before and the water is not as clear as it used to be. Granted that there are dragons living in the lake, Lin doesn’t know how they could survive the pollution. Lin Luoran hasn’t seen any dragon. The fishing boats have anchored and the fishermen are sorting out the fish they have caught today. The closed fishing season is coming. The fishermen have to work for a long time recently. They catch the fish and bring them to the bank. Their wives and old peoples are responsible for sorting the fish out. It’s not the b
Lin Luoran asks the fisherman about the whereabouts of the Dragon Palace as if she is joking, which confuses Rong Donglin. However, the fisherman butts the cigarette and smiles hard till his eyes become a seam.“What a visionary girl you are... Only I can take you to this place. Well, the price...” His coldness shrinks away and his eyes squeeze so hard that it leaves only a slit. Rong Donglin finds his smile obscene yet Lin Luoran’s eyes light up instantly.They have only the records on the bamboo sheets which says that countless treasure will be found in the Dragon Palace under Dongting Lake. Yet the Dongting Lake covers too vast an area, making it difficult to find the palace.Although Xin Yuanping said about working together, Lin Luoran already learned not to be led by other people. Even if Xin Yuanping can bring her to the palace, she still needs a plan B.As a hindsight, Lin Luoran don’t even know what prompted h
In the scenic spot in the middle of the night, there are only the screams of owls.Lin Luoran flies to the shore carrying Rong Donglin. The morning sun is going to jump out of the lake. In a few seconds, Liao’s fishing boat has disappeared in the mist on the lake.“Ah! He hasn’t told us where the Dragon Palace is!” The nasty old man wants to swindle them out of 30,000. No way!Lin Luoran covers his mouth with her hand immediately. Rong is a good guy except that he is too nagging.“Let’s go. I know where it is. Keep your voice down. We’re trespassing.” Seeing Rong Donglin nod, she moves her hand away.Generally, there is maps at the entrance of tourist attractions. It’s very easy to identify the direction of a certain scenic spot on the map. Lin Luoran reads the map for a while before dragging Rong Donglin ahead. Seeing that Rong walks so slowly, she takes out a piece of “yellow paper” and puts it on Rong’s foot.
The Shui script on the wall is written lively and vigorous in calligraphy, also clear to see. It is easy to recognize for Rong Donglin who is well-educated. It is because he understands the meaning immediately that his expression becomes so weird.“What does it mean?” Lin Luoran asks anxiously.When Rong Donglin finally closes his eyes and reads the contents on the wall out loud, Lin Luoran is confused—“Knock three times and enter Dongting Dragon Palace.”Such a simple way is too incredible. Besides, the signature under the big characters make them astonished.“Liao didn’t lie to you, did he?”Liao! These characters are 100% Shui script, but they are newly engraved…Is all this arranged by Liao? Even Lin Luoran doubts if she was cheated by Liao, let alone Rong Donglin!Why did she believe in Liao? Lin Luoran finds she has no reason to do so.Knock three times. How should she knock
Dressed in Taoist rope, the appearance as pretty as a young woman with a plump face, this could not be anybody other than young master An. “Miss Lin!” An greets Lin Luoran, regardless of the different looks of all the people. It seems like An came closely after Xin Yuanping. With too much unknown to her, although things are happening too fast to catch up with her train of thought, Lin Luoran has the instinct that a clue is connecting the ambiguity together.“Now that young master An is here, and he represents master Huizhu, of course we need to share some treasures with him.” She solely wants the Soul Wood and doesn’t mind how much she gets. It looks like she is proposing casually, yet she is keeping an eye on the expressions of both Xin Yuanping and An.“Miss Lin must be joking. I’m here on behalf of the superior of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple to look for a missing old piece. Please excuse me for bothering you and Miss Xin.”
Just as the name implies, Sea-view Pavilion was the place where the Dragon King used to come to watch the sea. The pavilion is grand and splendid. Of course, Dongting Lake is a lake, not a sea. However, the Dragon King insisted to name the pavilion “Sea-view Pavilion”.Thousands of years ago, the pavilion must be popular. Now, the grand hall is empty. Lin Luoran never expected the trip to be so smooth. She is glad that she has reached the Sea-view Pavilion without encountering any danger and the treasure vault of the Dragon Palace is just around. “Miss Lin, look! It’s the Sea Stairs!”In the center of the hall, there are some stairs that lead to the second floor. It is said that the Dragon King usually took the stairs to the second floor to observe the water. The story is all recorded by the bamboo sheets. Lin Luoran wonders whom the tomb belongs to and why he was so familiar with the Dragon Palace.
Many years later, Mu Tiannan will still remember how gloomy and desperate he is in these three days.Liao once said that he did not know the background of the man in robe. The man in robe is always smiling and he has an ordinary face. His face is like to be covered with mist so that people can never remember how he looks and what his name is. However, he is definitely very powerful—he was even the reason why earth cultivators began their cultivation in the first place.He was a master in the primitive era. No one has the nerve to even think of being his enemy.Before she is "Lin Luoran", she has spent time with the man in robe for much longer years than the hundreds of years when he knew her as “Lin Luoran”.Moreover, he and Lin Luoran get along with only about one hundred years.With all kinds of feelings, Lin Luoran comes back three days later. The man in robe also follows her back.Mu Tiannan notices th
Lin Luoran and her father are reunited finally. Their emotions are still out of control after a long time. Mu Tiannan knows that Lin Luoran has been missing her family silently. When she stops crying and completely calms down, he asks about the whereabouts of other members of the Lins and Grandpa Mu. The Mu family suffered heavy losses in the Earth Defense War back then. However, when he separated from his family in the Tower of Babel, his grandfather and several cousins were still alive. Grandpa Mu had protected his offspring for family's future. Called "Qin Xiaojiu" at that old age, Gebu realizes “the suspicious criminal” is actually the daughter of Mr. Lin. Therefore, he serves tea for them continuously, trying to change his image in the mind of Lin and Mu. Hearing Mu Tiannan's question, Mr. Lin wipes his tears embarrassingly. He says to Qin Xiaojiu, "Hurry up! Go to inform the Mu family that their third child is back!"
Zhu Qi accidentally gets the Jade Map which sends a message from Sword School. The message is not widely spread in Lanhu Star. Everyone has his or her own unique skills. Zhu Qi with street smarts also has his own tricks, even though he is just an individual cultivator. He duplicates the message in Jade Map in his own special way. Wen Guanjing took Sword School to Tiankui Star but he didn’t find Lin Luoran. Prophet god school released the news earlier so many people were keeping an eye on Lin Luoran. No matter how powerful Sword School was, they still couldn’t defeat the enemy that overnumbered them. They couldn’t let others know they were looking for Lin Luoran, so they did everything secretly. Lin Luoran always regards Wen Guanjing as her friend. Mu Tiannan feels so jealous when he sees Linny’s lifelike portrait on Jade Map. Later on, he is acting like a child. Lin Luoran is not a very considerate person but she still notices it.
Wearing a white lotus Taoist robe and a pair of pink satin shoes, Xin Yuanping is surrounded by several beautiful nuns with a black lotus in her hand. Wind is blowing the white silk hairband she wears. At the first glance, she looks like a master Taoist. When she sees Lin Luoran clearly, she has a bigger smile. Her dignified and holy face becomes vivid and charming, eclipsing several beautiful nuns. “School Brother An!” Xin Yuanping smiles and An also smiles, which makes Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh. Xin Yuanping smiles because she thinks her School brother An is really clever. He invites Lin Luoran here to shoot fish in a barrel. An’s smile is very interesting. Having known everything, he can use cultivators as chess pieces to play a game which he has designed for many years. Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh because Xin Yuanping doesn’t even know that she is about to face her imminent death.
Many years ago, a young Taoist with a baby face opened the door of Qingcheng Villa, calling her “School Sister Lin”. He was not her younger school brother. However, at that time, there was a popular BBS website called ““Tribe for Cultivators” in the World of Cultivation of Huaxia. A group of young training Qi cultivators from Huaxia all called her “School Sister Lin”. Later on, she laid Foundation in Jinling. When she reappeared, she was “Lin Luoran” rather than “School Sister Lin”. She became a senior master, and few young cultivators dared to hang out with her. As the master of Qingcheng Taoist Temple, Hui Zhu was nice to Lin Luoran in the beginning. Without Xin Yuanping, their relationship would not be so embarrassing. Hui Zhu chose to take Qingcheng Taoist Temple apprentices to live a sequestered life for a hundred years as an answer to the world of personal ability enhancement in Huaxia. In this way, he could protect Xin Y
Zhixiu has already decided to deal with the trouble on the Hasa Star. It is related to his accomplishment in Buddhism for several generations, so Lin Luoran cannot express her opinions casually. The strong perfume at the source of the Luoye River reminds them of the rat monster and its Hasa Mi Sect, which makes them disgusted. Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan have decided to leave through the interstellar transmission circle. Thousands of demons, trapped on the top of the tree, are guardians who protect the interstellar transmission circle. Zhixiu opens a channel among the demons for Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan. He also checks the magic circle. Fortunately, it is still working. Lin Luoran knows nothing about the second-rate spiritual world. Zhixiu was chased by the Yinshan School all the way and came to this Hasa Star by accident. They have no idea about the coordinates of teleportation destinations. After entering the transmission circle, Mu Tiannan
Mu Tiannan pinches the red light ball with disgust. When he speaks, he even squeezes it hard. The rat monster really wants to vomit a mouthful of blood again. When the rat monster is distracted, Lin Luoran finally seizes the chance. She uses her fingers as a pen and catches the pulse of “fire” swiftly—a golden word figure has been written. The fire is ignited everywhere, and then it forms a cocoon. The rat monster is trapped. In fact, “Thunder” is the best to deal with monsters. However, Lin Luoran herself is a person with Divinization personal ability but has not yet passed the doom. She doesn’t dare to summon purple lightning—maybe before it smashes the rat monster, she has to go through the “Divinization Doom”. Golden word figures are derived from the Great Truths, which is the most orthodox inheritance of the man in the robe. Every time she studies them carefully, she always gets enlightened. The word “fire” written by Lin
Marking the primordial spirit with Buddhism secret ability and going to a lower world to possess and cultivate to be a Buddha— For such kind of behavior, Mu Tiannan and Lin Luoran both think it is really scary. What kind of Buddha he is? What the rat monster does today is totally a demonized trick. He must eavesdrop the secrets of Buddhism—and knows the Tao proved by gods and Buddhas is closely related to the power of faith. Messages from the eavesdropping are always incomplete. If one can become a Buddha by fooling people to get the power of faith, then gods and Buddhas really mean nothing. Lin Luoran apotheosized herself. At that time, she had good timing, geographical convenience, and good human relations. Without the gold ware and the gold stamp from heaven, she can never deify herself. Gods and Buddhas are not equal to "immortals". If cultivators are enlightened by the Tao of nature, they can naturally become immortals. However, gods an
A beam of faint red light suddenly appears in the dark place ahead. Everyone feels disgusted immediately. Lin Luoran goes down the direction of the red light and controls the disgusting feeling in her heart. This time, they pass through the black fog quickly. Zhixiu stretches out his right palm, and a great force pulls in the three people inside the white light circle. When the light circle reappears, they can't directly look at the dazzling red light. Lin Luoran tries her best to open her eyes. She finds that they are suspending in the air surrounded by the white circle. They are now standing on the source of red light. Fire is blazing, and there are countless twisting and groaning phantoms in the flames. With a closer check, they realize that the phantoms are beautiful young women. They look extremely painful, but they only shout and struggle in silence. The fire is burning without a sound. The scene is scarier than the scene
