Chapter 39 Faking death and escaping!
Yan State, on the road to a village not far from Qingfeng County.
Several children were cheering around a man with a broken arm who was walking sluggishly.
The man still muttered to himself.
"The little boat of childhood is sailing in my dreams, sailing and sailing, sailing and sailing......!"
"Dan'er, come back for dinner!"
An old lady called out.
"coming!"
A child separated from the crowd and responded.
Another middle-aged woman greeted her children.
"Come back soon, don't play with fools. If you play with fools for too long, you will become a fool yourself."
The children scattered and ran home.
The man with a broken arm and a dazed look continued to move forward alone.
After walking for a while, I didn't even notice that there was a stream in front of me.
He missed a step and fell down. Without even a struggle, he gradually sank to the bottom of the stream.
As the stream water continued to pour in, the man gradually regained consciousness.
(I’m so tired. Am I going to die? I miss my family so much. I miss my childhood home so much. I miss the nursery rhymes I sang in my childhood home so much!)
'The boat of childhood swam in my dreams, swam and swam, swam and swam, the boat capsized, fell into the water and continued to swim......'
Watching Lin Yixuan gradually sinking to the bottom of the stream, Hong Yao finally couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped directly into the water to pick Lin Yixuan up.
Looking at Lin Yixuan who was in a coma, he didn't think twice and performed artificial respiration to help suck out the water. Looking at Lin Yixuan who was about to wake up, he hesitated for a moment and left quietly.
I felt like I was rescued.
Lin Yixuan suddenly felt happy, but then his heart sank. (Is someone spying on me? I can’t go to Qingfeng County anymore!)
He coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, his eyes still dull, he continued to mutter to himself, and changed direction and continued forward.
I came to a dilapidated temple and walked in.
I just sleep in there from morning to night, and from night to morning.
During this time, a few thugs came and punched and kicked Lin Yixuan, disliking him for taking their place. Lin Yixuan let the punches and kicks fall on him without fighting back or shouting! Everyone looked at the dull man who didn't fight back or talk back, and realized that he was a fool.
(Another poor man)
They all gave up, and during this time, everyone brought some food to Lin Yixuan, but Lin Yixuan didn't eat it, and didn't even move. In the end, he reluctantly ate it after everyone forced him to eat.
Yan State, in the study room in the courtyard on Jinxiu Mountain.
"Have you noticed anything unusual about him recently?"
Taoist Xuanyi asked.
"Nothing unusual was found!"
Hongyao then recounted in detail what had happened in the past two or three months, except for the part where Lin Yixuan fell into the water.
"Oh~ Looks like I've really become a fool! Don't waste time on him. No need to monitor him."
Master Xuanyi pondered for a while and continued.
"Come here, I have something more important for you to do!"
Master Xuanyi said this and took out a jade box and handed it to Hongyao.
"Take this to Yan Xingtian, the ruler of Yan State."
"Yes!" Hong Yao agreed, and then left Jinxiu Mountain.
A long, long time passed.
In Yan State, in a dilapidated temple not far from Qingfeng County.
That night, Lin Yixuan stayed in this dilapidated temple for more than half a year before he dared to breathe heavily.
Looking at the sleeping people.
Lin Yixuan gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, then took out a torch and set everything around him on fire.
The fire burned all night and the next day the temple gate was burned down.
An officer came up to a man in gorgeous clothes and said.
"Sir, a total of seven people died. Six of them were well-known thugs in the area, and the other one was probably a fool who came here a few months ago."
"Okay, got it!"
(Finally I can hand it in!)
The man in fancy clothes hesitated for a moment and continued.
"Well, bury them all."
"Yes!"
The officers and soldiers agreed.
At this time, Lin Yixuan had already hidden in the mountains and had been listening to the ridiculous behavior of the gangsters.
'Break into widows' homes and rape them, extort merchants, blackmail rich ladies and young masters, and bully the poor.'
(He is simply a wicked man. Not only did he do it, but he also talked about it with relish. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I just burned it all, and burned myself at the same time, to change the subject.)
After running for a while, I was already out of breath.
Looking at his broken arm, he laughed at himself helplessly.
(Nowadays, no one can be trusted. The only person you can trust is yourself, and only yourself.)
Lin Yixuan felt his intact Dantian and frowned.
(I recalled what happened carefully. Impossible, how could this happen? Didn’t that guy destroy my Dantian? What went wrong? Why is my Dantian intact? There must be something wrong!)
Lin Yixuan pondered for a long time, then he was delighted.
(Is it because of the stone tablet?)
He gathered his mind and headed towards where the stone tablet was. The originally motionless black stone tablet was emitting a faint light.
(It seems that the stone tablet really saved me and helped me recover my sanity and dantian. Damn it, that guy actually used the method of soul searching. Damn it, this guy's method is too cruel. I can't go to Qingfeng County. I can only pray that the shopkeeper is trustworthy and has not been discovered yet!)
Lin Yixuan sighed.
(I'd better find a place to restore it first. I can't trust others easily this time.)
We walked and stopped for two days and two nights before we found a relatively safe place.
(That's it!)
There was a hole under a big tree that was so small that it took a lot of effort to crawl in.
I started to practice meditation, and the days passed one by one.
(I have finally recovered to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. It is time to go and get back what belongs to me!)
After a simple grooming, he still looked like a wild man. He hadn't showered or groomed himself for more than half a year, and now he had been here for several months. He touched his beard and messy hair.
(Forget it! This is fine, at least no one can recognize me)
Just as Lin Yixuan was about to climb out of the cave, he heard the voices of several people talking.
"Where do you think he would hide? We've been looking for him for so many days. Where on earth could a useless person hide? I don't know which beast would take advantage of him."
A man in black complained
"Just follow the orders from above and look for him. Don't make blind guesses! If he's alive, we must see him. If he's dead, we must see his body."
Another man in black said.
"Do you think it's possible to hide in this tree hole?"
A man in black said this and poked the scabbard inside.
"I think you're a little out of your mind. Would a normal person hide in a place like this? Even a child would have trouble crawling in, let alone a normal adult. Let's go. Keep searching until you receive an order."
Another man in black reminded.
"Okay, let's find it!"
The other man in black compromised reluctantly.
(It seems that the fake death has been discovered. However, the fact that it was discovered so quickly means that there must be something very important that has not been found! No, I have to get the package back quickly. I can only gamble on the luck of the shopkeeper.)
