You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 145 Going Home
The woman smiled, calm and elegant, and sat casually next to Zuo Chen. She watched the noisy monsters in the distance with the others.

“These kids are quite energetic.”

"really."

"They are a bit naughty and occasionally catch passers-by who stray into this place by mistake, but they have never hurt anyone. After the person leaves, they will give him some rare small gifts."

"I can see that, too."

"You are a good person."

"I won't commit suicide recklessly."

“In today’s world, there are too few people who do not kill at will.” The woman sighed.

"It's wrong to kill at will." Zuo Chen said.

The two of them sang in unison, which made Caiyi, who was standing next to them, look confused.

After searching his mind for a long time, Yu was sure that he had never seen a woman like this before, so he could only lower his voice and ask Zuo Chen carefully:
"Master, is this an old acquaintance of yours?"

Zuo Chen didn’t know how to answer Caiyi for a moment.

Old acquaintance?

Are people you meet from memory also considered old acquaintances?

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled faintly and began to introduce herself:
"My fellow Taoist and I met each other a long time ago. I don't know how many years have passed. Now when I think back on it, I feel a lot of emotion."

Listening to the woman's words, Zuo Chen frowned and began to think.

There is no doubt that this “long time ago” refers to Jiu’e’s memory fragments.

Suddenly he asked:

“You are not a great master.”

"I am not evil either."

"The Immortal of Qingqiu?"

"No."

Hearing this, Zuo Chen looked at the woman a few more times.

Her breath was long and like a net, connecting the huge lake and splitting the mountains and forests in all directions.

Forests...

Then he showed a trance-like expression and smiled:
"I didn't expect that you could still sense me while I was sitting on your back."

When the woman saw Zuo Chen had guessed her identity, she also laughed:
"Daoyou's divine consciousness is the best in the world, and it is rare among those with great divine powers. Even if it is just to trace back memories, it will eventually leave traces in the long river of time. You sat on my back for a thousand years. Even if Master Qianye could not notice it, I should be able to notice it."

Zuo Chen touched the tip of his nose.

In Jiu'e's memory, Zuo Chen had no feeling of sitting in meditation for a thousand years. The scene before his eyes was like a montage of a movie. The four seasons passed by in a flash.

The flow of mountains and rivers and the passage of time are just a matter of seconds in his eyes.

"What should I call you now? Fellow Taoist Immortal Camel?"

"Xiantu is the name of my tribe, just like the monkey over there is called Lin Zhongsheng and Danglujun is called Guan Goudou. I also have a secular name." The woman said, "Daoyou can call me Lin Xi."

Nodding, Zuo Chen remembered the name in his heart.

Caiyi, who was standing beside him, was already dizzy from what she heard. The only thing she could understand was this:
The Taoist priest once sat on this woman's back for a thousand years, and this woman was actually a transformed immortal camel.

That means...

The Taoist priest must be several thousand years old now?
Caiyi knew that the Taoist priest was extremely powerful and rare in the world, and that he was an immortal. But in her mind, an immortal over a hundred years old was already rare in the world, so she never expected that the woman would spend a thousand years on Zuo Chen's age as soon as she opened her mouth!

What's more, from what Fairy Lin Xi said, the Taoist priest was just sitting there to kill time. Caiyi didn't even dare to imagine how long the Taoist priest had been on the road to immortality.

Caiyi made up her mind that when she had time in the future, she would definitely persuade Zuo Chen to tell her some ancient stories.

He looked up at Lin Xi again, and suddenly stretched out his elbow to poke the donkey eating grass next to him:
"Master Donkey, this great immortal holds the same position as you."

The donkey stopped eating grass, raised his head slightly to look at the beautiful woman, and then looked at Caiyi:
"If you really have nothing to do, you can go play with those foxes."

Zuo Chen ignored the rustling Caiyi and the donkey and continued to ask Lin Xi:
"Daoyou, why do you look like this?"

After hearing Zuo Chen's question, Lin Xi's eyes also showed some nostalgia.

After arranging his tone, he said:
"I died once, and after I reshaped my spirit body, I looked like this."

"It seems that fellow Daoist has also experienced a lot."

Lin Xi sighed and recalled:

"Since you have been sitting on my back for so long, you should know that not long after Master Qianye left, the little fox Jiu Nian also left. I was left alone, the immortal camel, wandering alone over Zhongzhou, crossing rivers and mountains. At that time, I thought that after wandering for a while, I would go to find Master and Jiu Nian, but I didn't expect the sea of ​​suffering to burst its dam and tear the entire North Continent away. Even I couldn't cross the huge waves and cross the sea and river.

“With no other options, I could only return to Zhongzhou, where I watched the sects fighting among themselves and the immortals fleeing, just to avoid the sea of ​​suffering that would swallow the world and bring eternal damnation.

"Later, the sea of ​​suffering became more and more flooded, and there were more and more displaced people. There were fewer and fewer places for living beings to live. In order to save people, I carried them all on my back and flew to the highest mountain plain in Central Continent."

He sighed softly and continued:

"I left a little late, and when I was about to take off, the sky-swallowing black waves were already behind me, roaring and surging, swallowing up the earth and destroying the world. I watched so many people being swallowed up by the sea of ​​suffering, watching them sinking and floating in the whirlpool of pain, wailing to me, begging me to save them, but I didn't have that much ability. I couldn't save them."

Zuo Chen, who was just listening at the side, seemed to see the doomsday scene. The huge black waves were engulfing the earth at an alarming speed. Above the waves, the huge fairy camels were flying forward with all their might, stepping on the waves. The camels' backs were filled with people, looking uneasy.

And below the immortal camel, in the sea of ​​suffering, countless black arms stretched out, reaching towards the sky and shouting for help.

Zuo Chen could not see how many immortals fled and mortals dispersed during that time, but Lin Xi's words were like heavy iron that still weighed on Zuo Chen's heart.

Lin Xi seemed to recall that time and paused for a few seconds before continuing:

"I was carrying too many people, so I flew a little slowly. As a result, I was accidentally hit by a corrupted magical power in the sea of ​​suffering, which shaved off almost all of my lifespan. After carrying the people to a safe place, I could only let the creatures behind me find their own way out. I also fell asleep here.

"I thought I would sleep forever, but I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes again, I turned into a ball of spiritual energy and gathered on the spiritual pool left by Master Qianye. I think this must be the magic left by Master Qianye, protecting my soul."

Lin Xi's face also turned slightly red:

“For a long time at that time, I didn’t have the posture of a real person. I used my spirit to float and observe the dense forest that my body had transformed into.

“I can see that the people I brought down at the beginning have left the forest and gone to other places in Zhongzhou. I can also see that some great masters have built immortal shuttles and flown away from this world, while others, out of concern for the suffering of mortals, have stayed in this chaotic world and tried to use their own magic to save them and dissolve the sea of ​​suffering.

"After that, everyone left the forest, and I couldn't continue to look at the entire dense forest. My thoughts were locked on this plain. Those great masters seemed to have died, and I could only keep the animals company."

When he said this, the foxes not far away finally stopped playing around and put Hu Wen, who had been thrown dizzy, back to the ground.

A few sharp-eyed foxes saw Lin Xi coming out and shouted "Master" and came towards her.

The fastest foxes gathered at Lin Xi's feet, rolling and playing, while those that were a step slower could only gather outside and watch.

Even the eldest lady dragged the dizzy Hu Wen over and squatted at the back of the foxes, being relatively reserved.

There was tenderness in Lin Xi's eyes, and he reached out and gently stroked the nearest fox fur.

“It’s funny, but I finally transformed when a red fox ran to the edge of the pond.

"When I lowered my head and looked at my reflection in the lake, I realized that I looked exactly like Master Qianye.

"Maybe I'm just thinking, wondering when Master Qianye will come back, and when the boy I miss for a long time will come back.

“I wonder when that person will be able to sit on this lotus pond again, holding a sutra, slowly talking about the Buddha, meditating on the purity of the mind, and talking about the tranquility of the five senses.

“So when I see these foxes, I become a great master.”

After hearing this, Zuo Chen finally understood why the immortal camel transformed into this appearance.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned his sleeves inside out and let out the golden thought.

"This is?"

When Lin Xi's eyes fell on this thought, they trembled slightly for a moment.

She could sense a very familiar aura.

"This is Jiu Evil, and also Jiu Nian."

"He...why?"

"When the sea of ​​suffering overflowed, he stood in the front line and stopped the disaster of the sea of ​​suffering."

"..."

"I transformed myself into a vicious beast and eliminated his disaster. This was the only thought left in his mind."

Stretch out your hand forward and let your mind float lightly.

Lin Xi stretched out his hands and held the golden light in his palms.

It was sunset at this moment. The half-dark warm sun cast a golden glow on the plain, and also illuminated the pieces of golden gauze covering the floating thoughts.

When Lin Xi touched the faint golden light, the familiar feeling surged from his heart and it was difficult to calm down.

She could be sure that this was Jiu Nian.

He held up the thought as if it were a treasure and walked slowly towards the lotus pond.

The foxes gathered nearby didn't know why the great master they respected had such an expression. One of them had sharp eyes. Under the evening light, he looked at Lin Xi's face and suddenly called out softly:
"The Master cried."

The noisy foxes gradually quieted down, and they all carefully retracted their heads, fearing that Lin Xi would no longer want them because of their noise.

Lin Xi just walked step by step to the lotus pond, knelt on one knee, and placed this thought on the lotus pond as if placing a flower.

The water ripples gently, and the light moves with the water.

The wind blew through the forest without any reason, causing the leaves to rustle and disturbing the insects hiding among the leaves.

I saw the fireflies flying up in the air in surprise, like a sky full of stars, buzzing softly in the wind.

Two shadows vaguely emerged beside the pool.

The woman in a white dress sat cross-legged, holding a Buddhist scripture and reciting it softly.

Between her knees, a little fox hovered in a circle, tilting its head slightly.

The wanderer has been away from home for a long time.

Finally I'm home.
