The #1 Pretty Boy Of The Immortal Path Chapter 141 - Yingying

Chapter 141 - Yingying

TL-Checked by Sa.s.systrawberry; Edited by Animeart

Lingsu obviously noticed, “Ahh”.

Lin Shu walked out of the hall, and Lingsu followed him. Qing Lu was still a little confused, but he also followed them.

There was no snow that night. The stars and the moon were very bright, as if they were perched on the top of the mountains. As soon as they came out of the hall, the night sky was everywhere.

Therefore, the vision of stars was more obvious.

Lin Shu looked up at the Southern constellation.

The stars were divided into twenty-eight constellations, with seven stars placed in each direction of the East, West, South and North. Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi and Zhen are located in the South, corresponding to the position of Suzaku. (TL-Note).

At this moment, the seven constellations in the South were much brighter than the other twenty-one constellations and if you looked carefully, they were even glowing slightly red.

The Sword Pavilion was not adept at reading the oracles of the stars.

However, the changes in these stars was obviously not a good thing.

Lingsu immediately sent an urgent message to Lingshu and after a while, Lingshu brought up many astrological-related cla.s.sics from the Cangshu Pavilion.

Lingshu and Lingsu began to search through the books. Qinglu looked left and right. He had nothing to do, so he began to help as well.

After the time taken to burn three to four incense sticks, Lingshu said: “I found it.”

On that page of the book, it was written: “When the Southern Suzaku blazes in crimson splendor, the Phoenix will soar and the world will be in turmoil for ten years.”

The description of astrology was obviously consistent with the night sky.

But what it foreshadows was really unknown.

The Phoenix will soar, these four words were relatively neutral and there was nothing it could tell, but “turmoil in the world” was a very serious problem.

However, Lingsu’s next statement was also true.

She said, “But the world is already in turmoil.”

Lingshu said: “Maybe it will be more chaotic.”

Lingsu said, “Would it be that the war between the Northern and Southern Xia would break out soon?”

Lingshu: “Perhaps.”

Their tone of voice was very casual – after all, the altercation between the Southern Xia and the Northern Xia had nothing to do with the Sword Pavilion.

Lin Shu continued to look at the sky.

He felt that he was still fooled by the Great Wizard.

He was a man who did not care about the country and the people. Even if there were signs of chaos in the world, he would not go to meet the Great Wizard because of this.

And, strictly speaking, he didn’t really believe in these things.

Instead of believing in astrology, it was better to believe in modern physics.

And just at this moment, the unusual s.h.i.+ning of the Southern Constellation slowly dimmed.

As if everything was back to normal.

But the next moment, a meteor pierced the sky.

Two.

Three.

Ten.

A thousand.

Across the night sky, countless bright streamers were falling down, the whole mountain seemed to bathe in the beautiful rain, and this rain was not composed of water drops, but meteors.

Or meteorites.

Lin Shu could even hear the sound of a meteorite landing far away.

These hundreds of meteorites would be scattered everywhere in the world.

Lin Shu saw that Qinglu was staring at the sky dumbfounded.

Lingsu also said in a trembling voice: “This&#k2026;”

At the same time, from a valley in the distance suddenly there was a humming sound &#k2013; made from the humming of swords!

It was from the direction of the Sword Mound. After the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion died or ascended to immortality, their swords were often buried within the Sword Mound.

The Sword Mound had awakened once again. The last time was when Lin Shu used the “Endless Yearning” sword intent during the battle with the Great Wizard at Jubei Pa.s.s. He was detected by the Sword Mound, allowing the Sword Pavilion to locate him.

And this time the sword mound sounded again, what could the reason be this time?

Lin Shu looked down the mountain, and saw the nearby elders’ individual halls had also burst into frenzied activity, with several elders rus.h.i.+ng over.

Elder He arched his hands in greeting: “Pavilion Master, the Sword Mound is sounding the alarm, there seems to be unusual celestial phenomena, I fear that something is about to happen.”

Lin Shu naturally knew that something was about to happen.

Another person, Elder Song said: “According to the archives, this noise should be a warning.”

Elder He spoke: “I fear that this matter… has something to do with that unexpected event that happened many years in the past.”

Lin Shu asked: “What event?”

He continued, “This is unverifiable, as it happened many many years in the past, when the Sword Pavilion encountered a major event.”

This trouble was not man-made, but a heaven sent disaster. And this heaven sent disaster, happened over a thousand years ago.

Elder He said: “In our current world, at most there are only a few sorcerers, but there are not many depraved demons of the unorthodox path anymore.”

Lin Shu nodded in a.s.sent.

Elder He continued again: “However, a few centuries ago, perhaps even a thousand years ago, this world was still a scene of where immortals and demons co-existed, numerous demonic cultivators, filthy objects, great demons wreaking havoc upon the human realm.”

The Sword Pavilion at this time was not entirely secluded, and did frequently enter the mortal world to slay evil spirits and demons.

While ridding the world of these evil creatures, there were a few evil spirits that could not be slayed, demons that could not be killed, and these were brought back to the Sword Pavilion, entombed and suppressed in the Sword Mound.

After a hundred years, a thousand years, there ended up a large number of these being suppressed in the Sword Mound.

Lin Shu found this tale very familiar, thought for a moment, his own Master had indeed told him this story in the past.

Elder He continued with his narration, after that, many centuries later, the Immortal Path flourished, the evil spirits and demons seemingly disappeared. The Sword Pavilion also gradually secluded themselves, not getting involved in the earthly matters of the world, and later no one ever mentioned this spate of affairs.

But that year, a meteorite suddenly crashed on top of the Sword Mound, smas.h.i.+ng a hole in the Sword Mound, weakening the wards of suppression.

The place had gone unnoticed for many years, and many a.s.sumed that all the demons had been subdued. But unexpectedly, a Supreme Demon had been awakened from suppression due to the meteorite.

Though the Supreme Demon had no conscious thought, he was incredibly powerful.

After speaking to this point, Elder He looked towards at Lin Shu: “On the other hand, that demonic creature was very strange, after escaping from the suppression, he charged towards the Cangshu Pavilion, his desire was to obtain our Sword Pavilion’s own manual “Endless Yearning”. The Disciples of the Sword Pavilion, naturally did not allow this plot to succeed.”

Elder He spoke of a truly vicious, terrible battle, a great many of the Sword Pavilion disciples were lost, and said, “Even us useless old ones still hold a lingering fear in our heart at this memory.”

The Sword Pavilion disciples could no longer continue with the battle, it seemed that they would all be annihilated, however unexpectedly, the situation turned and they were able to survive the desperate situation.

Within the snow-capped mountains there was an abyss, from which emerged an unnamed Sword Pavilion predecessor. He fought against that Supreme Demon, exhibiting the cultivation of a Land Immortal, defeated the Supreme Demon, allowing the Sword Pavilion to survive this disaster.

Elder He continued on, that during that battle, the original Pavilion Master had perished in the battle, and the unnamed predecessor was grievously injured, causing the Sword Pavilion’s strength to be greatly reduced.

And there was an irrefutable truth in the world, that misfortunes were caused by wealth.

In the past, no one dared to covet “Endless Yearning”, but when the strength of the Sword Pavilion was greatly damaged, the external covetous gazes gradually increased.

Hence the unnamed senior left the Sword Pavilion with “Endless Yearning”. The Sword Pavilion was also able to avert the disaster, and quickly restore their strength.

After this recovery, they began the search for the Pavilion Master.

Lin Shu: “……”

So the events of the past had occurred in this manner.

Someone exhibited the Sword Intent of “Endless Yearning”, and everyone thought, ‘Great! the unnamed predecessor had already trained the next Pavilion Master, let us bring him back.’

After speaking of the past events, the topic returned to the current situation.

These two events had one common factor, meteorites fell from the sky, and events of inauspicious foreboding.

Elder He suspected that there would be some other Supreme Demon plotting to obtain the “Endless Yearning”.

Lin Shu said, “I don’t know where “Endless Yearning” is.”

Elder He was greatly pleased, no one knowing the location of “Endless Yearning” was a good thing, he praised the unnamed predecessor for having made impeccable arrangements.

Lin Shu: “……”

Fine.

According to Elder He, the sudden appearance of the “unnamed predecessor” and the “Endless Yearning” pa.s.sed down by the unnamed predecessor may be related to Immortal Lord Taoyuan?

“Where is Lord Taoyuan?” and “Why does everyone want the “Endless Yearning?” were now two unsolved mysteries in Lin Shu’s mind.

And “Why does everyone want “Endless Yearning”?” can be extended to “Why do all people want peerless manuals?”

He previously thought, the Great Wizard had made a fool of him

The world might be in chaos and he might not care about it.

But he could not ignore the affairs of the Sword Pavilion now that he was the Pavilion Master.

After a quick discussion with the elders, he decided to leave the next day and go to the place that the Great Wizard had asked to meet.

And in order to locate this rendezvous point, they spent a lot of effort looking through the maps and chronicles.

“The Great Dragon Court in the Central Continent” was not a name that was currently in existence. Lingsu and Lingshu searched through the archives of scrolls for a long time before finding it on an ancient map.

The vicissitudes of life had changed over the past millennia, and this place was now located in a big mountain at the junction of north and south.

After confirming the location, the elders dispersed.

Lingshu, Qinglu, and Lingsu retired in turn.

Lin Shu sat quietly in the hall, and his mood fluctuated for no reason.

In his hand he held the jade talisman that connected to Shangling Dreamscape

The meteorite shower was one thing, but the Suzaku flaming red was another.

When the Suzaku blazes in crimson splendor, the Phoenix will soar.

Phoenix, Phoenix Mountain Villa.

There was also that oracle inscription. The world would be in chaos.

He suddenly thought, I wonder if Ling Fengxiao is doing well.

Holding the jade talisman, after a long silence, he sank his spiritual thoughts into it.

He hadn’t come in the Dreamscape for three years and Mr. Meng had deleted his character information in order to save the spiritual power of the big formation.

Lin Shu then rebuilt a new one without any disguise, so he used his current face.

He entered the martial arts arena.

A group of people surrounded the ring in the distance, and the disciples were happily talking about something.

They said it was a battle between “Fairy Feiluan” and “Young Master Yan”, which was very exciting.

Three years were like flowing water. The names on the martial arts field have changed round after round, and the fairies that everyone liked have also changed. Looking at the completely unfamiliar names, it was inevitable to feel the fleeting time.

But it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Shu walked over to the Stone Screen. Xiao Shao hadn’t competed with others in these three years, and he didn’t know where he fell in the ranking. He finally found Xiao Shao’s name in a corner, but stood still for a long time before sending a request for a fight.

Then words jumped out from the Stone Screen: “Lin Shu wants to challenge Xiao Shao.”

No one noticed this news.

Counting the two years that he was in seclusion and the three separate years respectively, the name Xiao Shao must have not appeared in the disciples’ field of vision for five years.

Out of sight, out of mind.

According to the ranking, this match was just a pecking between two chickens who were ranked several thousands below, and there was no need to watch it.

Therefore, Lin Shu got a challenge ring where no one was watching.

The next moment, the Stone Screen jumped out of the message “Xiao Shao accepted the challenge”.

Lin Shu thought that he was very busy and would not reply until later.

He organized his words silently, and suddenly a red shadow flashed before his eyes.

Lin Shu thought it was Xiao Shao who came online with the Big Miss’s sh.e.l.l.

But, it was not.

Standing across from him was a little girl.

A little girl in a red dress, about five or six years old.

The little girl looked at him curiously, then came forward and continued to look up at him with clear eyes.

This is by no means Ling Fengxiao.

The same name?

But…

But the girl’s eyes and eyebrows were very much similar to himself.

If Lin Shu was a girl, he would probably look like this when she was five or six years old.

He asked, “Who are you?”

But the little girl shook her head and went to take his hand.

Lin Shu: “You can’t talk?”

The little girl nodded.

Lin Shu gave his hand and she began to write on it.

“You look like me.”

Lin Shu asked her, “What’s your name?”

She lowered her head, her jade-like little fingers, fingertips glowing with crystal pink, began to write on the palm of Lin Shu’s hand.

Yingying.

Lin Shu was stunned.

He continued to ask: “Do you… know Xiao Wuque?”

The little girl nodded and wrote in the palm of his hand: “He’s my brother.”

Xiao Wuque was her brother.

And her name was Yingying.

After she finished writing, she looked up at Lin Shu, her pretty dark eyes seemed to have the brilliance of the moon.

She saw that Lin Shu didn’t answer. She continued to write in the palm of Lin Shu’s hand: “Who are you?”

Who am I?
