Chapter 957 Fairy, you are free(2/3)
It has nothing to do with Lin Chen.
Finally, Lin Chen came to a quiet courtyard. This place was particularly special because it was built on Wumiao Mountain.
Wumiao Mountain is a mountain dedicated to the Wumiao Temple.
Fengtian City is the central core of the entire southwest. Its martial arts temple is different from other places. As a territory of the human race, martial arts temples are worshiped by every force. From super large states to small prefectures, there are martial temples in every place.
The existence of the Martial Arts Temple is also a link connecting the entire human race, which is extremely important.
And what is enshrined in the Martial Temple, apart from the heroes and powerful ancestors from all over the world, is the Human Emperor.
As the most recent of the Three Emperors, the Human Emperor's power still has an influence on the world. Worshiping the Human Emperor can indeed allow the Martial Temple to receive the Human Emperor's blessing, and the will of martial arts will be integrated into the body, promoting the understanding of the Tao and faster cultivation.
And this Three Emperors Martial Temple has a higher standard. It is a Martial Temple that enshrines the complete Three Emperors. There are only nine of them in the Nine Domains!
Except for the Emperor of Humanity, the Emperor of Earth and the Emperor of Heaven are too long ago. With the baptism of time, their influence on the world has almost disappeared.
Ordinary martial arts temples cannot gather their power from the void at all. Only the Three Emperors Martial Temple of the highest standard has the ability to gather some of their scattered power between heaven and earth again.
However, there are very few ordinary people who cannot sense anything even if they enter the Three Emperors Martial Temple.
But no matter what, those who enshrine the Three Emperors will tell the world that they have been here and led the human race through darkness and ushered in light!
Such an important place is a place of worship for humans, and the entire mountain is sacred and solemn.
Prince Zuo actually built a villa here.
It has crossed the line.
And if An Linglong is kept here, then his heart will be punished.
The courtyard was protected by powerful forces. Of course, it could not have any impact on Lin Chen. After a lot of effort, he entered the courtyard.
It is a very quiet courtyard, the aura in the air is extremely rich, and it even contains fragments of Taoism, and many true meanings of martial arts circulate here.
Did Prince Zuo secretly steal part of the power of the Three Emperors Martial Temple?
And this place is undoubtedly the first-class cave paradise. If An Linglong lives here all the time, his improvement will be extremely rapid.
Lin Chen squinted his eyes and soon sensed the breath of a living person.
It is indeed An Linglong.
Compared with the last time they met, An Linglong was indeed much stronger and seemed to be "mature". Otherwise, Shou Nu would not choose to jump into the flames first.
At this moment, the moonlight is thick. Although there are many formation restrictions here, the moonlight in the sky still shines through the protection.
Under the eaves, a woman was sitting in the corner, hugging her knees and burying her face in her arms. She couldn't see clearly. Her long hair was scattered, glowing crystal clear under the moonlight.
It is a very beautiful painting, but the person in the painting clearly feels sad.
Lin Chen sighed slightly. Even if Shounu didn't say it clearly, An Linglong could probably feel something. She should have already made a guess as Shounu didn't return.
The moonlight gradually illuminated the corner, but An Linglong hugged her body and kept curling back, trying to stuff herself into the shadow. She looked small, pitiful and helpless.
"Linglong Fairy", Lin Chen called softly.
Hearing the voice, An Linglong raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red, and her face was full of tears. She was surprised at first, but then suddenly froze.
Obviously the person she met was not Lin Chen.
The appearance of Lin Chen, to a large extent, meant that the suspicion in her heart had become a reality.
"Master Lin, uncle Shounu, he..." An Linglong looked at Lin Chen and pinched the corners of his clothes with her fingers, which had turned white from the exertion.
Lin Chen stood under the moonlight, looking at An Linglong huddled in the shadows, speechless for a moment.
At this moment, silence is the answer.
Two lines of tears suddenly fell from An Linglong's face. She bit her lip tightly, her body trembled slightly, and finally she covered her face and cried bitterly.
She is the only one left!
Lin Chen sighed. After waiting for a long time, he saw that An Linglong had calmed down a little, and then said: "I brought the senior's body back. Let's bury him properly first."
An Linglong raised her head, her dull eyes gradually fluctuated a bit. She nodded and stood up unsteadily.
"Thank you, Master," An Linglong said hoarsely.
This is Wumiao Mountain, which is sacred and solemn.
Logically speaking, no one is qualified to be buried here, but didn't Prince Zuo build the other courtyard here? Even if the royal family knew about it, didn't they not make it public?
Now that we are here, let us bury the slaves in Wumiao Mountain to accompany the Three Emperors and many other ancestors.
After leaving the courtyard, Lin Chen took An Linglong to walk in the mountains. Only then did An Linglong realize that this place was Wumiao Mountain.
"Have you never left that courtyard before?" Lin Chen asked.
An Linglong shook her head, "I was here before, and I went to Qunfang Pavilion later. But after I left, I couldn't remember this."
Have you been cursed?
No wonder Shounu didn't mention An Linglong's whereabouts at that time.
But now, these are no longer important.
They walked for a long time and found a very secluded place. It was a small cliff surrounded by lush trees, but there was an empty space here.
Here, you can overlook Fengtian City from the bottom and the Three Emperors Martial Temple from the top.
Nice place.
"Just bury it here," Lin Chen said as he took out Shou Nu's body.
When An Linglong saw Shounu's body, which was about to collapse, tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She knelt in front of Shounu and cried loudly.
Lin Chen stretched out his hand and created a barrier to prevent the outside world from noticing.
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort him or whether he should reveal his identity as a slave.
Piggy was quiet this time, didn't say much, just squatted aside and looked into the distance.
"Fairy, senior... he bought your freedom with his own life. From now on, you don't have to worry anymore," Lin Chen whispered.
"But, but I would rather not have that kind of freedom. I want him to live and be by my side all the time." An Linglong sobbed, and she tightly held Shou Nu's only remaining arm.
From childhood to adulthood, Shou Nu has been with her and protected her. Shou Nu is her only relative.
But now, Shou Nu has left, leaving her alone in this world.
Lin Chen was speechless and just stayed with her quietly. In the end, he did not tell An Linglong about Shou Nu's identity. Shou Nu would not tell An Linglong until his death. As an outsider, he naturally did not deserve to tell An Linglong.
Moreover, for An Linglong, Shou Nu was his only relative and played a father-like role.
An Linglong cried for a long time. She didn't ask any more questions. What did Shou Nu do? Who harmed him like this? An Linglong already had the answer in her heart.
She also had the answer in her heart as to why Shounu loved her so much.
Shounu has blamed himself, been upset, and worked hard for half his life. It's time to let go. He hopes that in another world, he will no longer have to live such a difficult life.
"Master, let's bury him together," An Linglong's voice was very soft.
"Okay", Lin Chen nodded.
They buried the slaves here.
"What plans does the fairy have in the future?" Lin Chen asked.
"I, I don't know." An Linglong shook her head. She has been a canary in a cage since she was a child. Even if she is told now that she has come out of the cage, she has no idea what to do next.
"Sir, can I follow you?" An Linglong grabbed the corner of Lin Chen's clothes with her little hands and asked nervously and timidly.
Before Shou Nu left, he said that someone would take his place and guard her.
Lin Chen only felt bitter in his heart. He knew that An Linglong was feeling uneasy and fearful at the moment. She wanted to catch someone so that her heart could calm down.
For her, freedom is both longing for and afraid of. She is like a bird in a cage. She sees the cage being opened but dare not go out.
In other words, she didn't dare to go alone, she was used to keeping slaves by her side.
She was holding on to Lin Chen at the moment, not because she wanted to find someone to rely on, but because she wanted to be accompanied so that she would not be lonely.
But it shouldn't be like this. Shounu sacrificed her life not to let her still live in the barriers of the past. She should cross over and be braver!
"Is there a core of Yuan Yin in the fairy's body?" Lin Chen asked.
An Linglong was shocked. She withdrew her hand and looked at Lin Chen, her lips trembling a little. The root of all nightmares was her special physique.
She lowered her head, her eyes darkened, and she whispered: "Young master, do you want it too? Yes, in return for bringing back the body of Uncle Shounu, I can take it."
If you take it away, only dual cultivators can take away the core of Yuan Yin, but once you dual cultivate, the root of this power will continue to be integrated into An Linglong's body and continue with her descendants.
Lin Chen let out a breath and approached An Linglong, "Okay, then I'll take it."
Hearing this, An Linglong quickly raised her head and said urgently: "At least not here!"
But Lin Chen didn't wait for her to finish speaking. He moved forward with one hand and pressed it on An Linglong's abdomen. An Linglong resisted and wanted to push Lin Chen away. No matter what, she couldn't do such a thing while being a slave!
But Lin Chen's hands did not tear her clothes apart on both sides, but the powerful force rushed straight into her body and gathered on the core of Yuan Yin.
Immediately, as if drawing a sword, Lin Chen suddenly raised his hand back.
An Linglong's whole body floated into the air for an instant, and then, a wave of pure and incomparable power surged out in an instant. The powerful aura surged, and even the barrier set up by Lin Chen was about to break down!
