Linxian Village, the immortals next to it naturally refer to the earth immortals in the earth immortal temple.

According to Guiyan, this Earth Immortal Temple was originally built under the peach tree where Guiyan picked peaches, but since she moved here, the Earth Immortal Temple has disappeared.

The first time Ying saw the Earthly Immortal Temple was when she traveled through time and saw it next to a peach tree a year later.

The experience at that time was not a pleasant one, because a year later there was obviously only a possessed immortal in the Earthly Immortal Temple, who attacked Ying. However, it was from the possessed immortal that Ying learned about A Yue's wish.

This shows that this earthly immortal is also connected to what happened in the village, or at least he knows the situation in the village.

Ying and Guiyan returned to the Earth Immortal Temple again, which surprised them, but they also felt it was natural that the Earth Immortal Temple, which should have disappeared at this time, actually appeared again at this time.

However, the Earth Immortal Temple at this time was obviously cleaner and tidier than it would have been a year later, but the shadow from that time still made Ying fearful of this place.

"Gui Yan, you stay here first..." Ying habitually wanted Gui Yan to wait here, but suddenly remembered that she had become Ling Yue's host at this time, and that immortal's strength was even stronger than hers.

Guiyan naturally saw what Ying was thinking. She first pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, and soon she stubbornly grabbed one of Ying's arms.

"I'll go in with you!"

Seeing her like this, Ying didn't know what to say and could only nod and agree.

The two of them stepped into the Earth Immortal Temple together. It was still a small space of less than 20 square meters, but there was a faint scent of incense in the air. It was surrounded by snow-white and smooth walls, and the doorposts were painted bright red, which looked quite imposing.

In the center of the Earth Immortal Temple is the statue, which depicts an old man with white hair.

The old man had his eyes slightly narrowed, a smile on his face, one hand stroking his beard and the other holding a cane. The word "amiable" was the most appropriate way to describe him.

On the table in front of the statue, there was a message left by someone unknown:

There is no end to the road ahead, and the sky will be blue at dawn.

Seeing that the scene in the Earthly Immortal Temple was so peaceful, Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. This at least showed that the person in the Earthly Immortal Temple had not been completely possessed by the devil.

While Ying was looking around, Ling Yue spoke first, with a hint of admiration in her voice:

"This person is actually a natural born earth immortal."

Ling Yue did not need to use Gui Yan's mouth to speak, but she was inside Gui Yan's body after all, so Gui Yan heard Ling Yue's words first compared to Ying.

"This is the Temple of the Earthly Immortal, so of course the one enshrined here is an earthly immortal. Is there any problem with that?" Gui Yan asked.

"No, I'm not talking about the kind that cultivates to become an earth immortal, but the kind that is born an earth immortal." Ling Yue replied, and then she conveyed to Gui Yan her desire to control her body. After getting his consent, Ling Yue gained control of Gui Yan's body.

Ling Yue controlled Gui Yan's body and used magic to create several incense sticks. After lighting them, she inserted them respectfully into the incense burner in front of the statue, and then performed a salute.

“What are you doing?” Ying asked. This action was a bit like some traditions of Liyue. There were similar behaviors in the ceremony of sending off the immortals.

Ling Yue did not answer immediately. After she finished all this, she returned the control of her body to Gui Yan, and then slowly said:

"In addition to those who cultivate to become immortals, there is also a kind of people who are born immortals, just like the one enshrined in this earthly temple."

"Are there such immortals? I thought everyone can become an immortal through practice." Gui Yan asked curiously.

"Of course there are, but nowadays there are more and more people who can practice. Although for ordinary people, immortals are rare, but for cultivators, they are actually not that rare."

“Legend has it that before there were cultivators who cultivated to the Earthly Immortal Realm, it was always these natural Earthly Immortals who guided people.

They use magic to heal people's wounds, bring warm sunshine or sweet rain, improve people's living environment, enlighten the people, and even teach people to start practicing.

It can be said that if it were not for the existence of these earthly immortals, we might still be struggling with heaven and earth, and it would probably take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to reach our current level.

Therefore, all cultivators should have the most basic respect for these earthly immortals."

"I see." Ying nodded. No wonder Ling Yue saluted so solemnly just now.

"Is there any immortal here? Why can't I see him?" Gui Yan said, looking around, but apart from her and Ying, she didn't see any third person in this earthly immortal temple.

Could it be that the earthly immortal is in the same soul state as Ling Yue?

However, this conjecture was soon broken. Ling Yue chuckled and used her mind to let Gui Yan look at the location of the statue. She said:

"Hey, isn't that earthly immortal right here?"

"Hahahaha." Ling Yue had just finished speaking when the statue in front of them actually let out a hearty laugh. Then the statue's skin, hair and even eyes became lively in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the statue turned from a stiff stone into a living person.

But this person looked much older than the statue, and he was missing a cane in his hand.

When she saw this person, Ling Yue was the first to speak. She respectfully called him "Senior."

After hearing this, the Earth Immortal smiled and nodded, then looked at Ying and Guiyan and said:

"I know why you are here. Yes, I know everything about Linxian Village. It's a pity that I don't know what happened to Tiandao now. I can't leave this dilapidated temple. Moreover, my magic power is gradually weakening. Now I have lost the strength of a terrestrial immortal. Otherwise, Linxian Village might be able to avoid this disaster."

After saying this, the Earth Immortal sighed, and the wrinkles on her face became more obvious. Then she looked at Gui Yan. Although she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, she still said in a kind tone:

"Fortunately, your evil spirit has been removed now, which can at least save a few innocent lives."

These words were obviously spoken to Ling Yue, and the next words were spoken to Gui Yan:

"And you, little kid, you suffered so much. Fortunately, you survived. It was worth it for me to exhaust my magic power and inject vitality into you. The bloodline of this Linxian Village has been preserved."

At this point, the facts are very clear. This earth immortal is the one who helped Gui Yan to balance the vitality, yin and demonic energy in his body. He also knows what happened in the neighboring fairy village and provided clues to Ying one year later (although he had been possessed by a demon at that time and wanted to attack Ying).

After the earth immortal finished speaking, he jumped down from the shrine, stroked his beard and said to the two of them:

"Come with me, this is the last thing I can do."

Ying and Guiyan were puzzled, but Lingyue seemed to know something and did not say anything. They followed the Earth Immortal, walked out of the Earth Immortal Temple, and came to the peach tree.

Looking at the peach tree, Ling Yue finally spoke:

"It seems that Senior Earth Immortal's time is almost up."

"Huh?" Ying was surprised and asked quickly, "What do you mean?"

The time is almost up. Is this earthly immortal going to die? But she remembered that she had seen him again a year later. He should be able to live for at least another year.

However, both Dixian and Lingyue were very calm.

"It's time to go." The earth immortal said with a smile, "Otherwise, I'll be an old useless man, and I'll just have to stay in this temple and do nothing. Even if you don't feel bad, I'll feel bad to death. I might as well use my last bit of strength to do something useful."

Ling Yue explained to Ying and Gui Yan:

“Earthly immortals are born as immortals, but their life span is not infinite. This earthly immortal’s magic power is very weak, even inferior to that of many cultivators. I am afraid that he has already reached the end of his life.

Moreover, the Earthly Immortal would not casually show himself in front of people. This time he appeared in front of us, probably to make arrangements for his afterlife."

"That's right," the Earth Immortal said, with no trace of sadness on his face. "Haha, so the future is in the hands of you young people."

After saying this, the Earth Immortal placed his hand on the peach tree. Ying didn't know what he would do next, but couldn't help but shout out:

"and many more!"

But after shouting this, what should she do? This was her first meeting with this earthly immortal, and they didn't have much friendship. Why did Ying stop him? What could she do by stopping him? She had no answers to these questions.

The earthly immortal also knew this, so he did not stop his actions because of Ying's cry. He brushed his hand across the peach tree, and his body gradually became lighter.

"Although I was born an immortal, I am trapped in this temple because of the change in the way of heaven. It is meaningless to live another year, two years, or even ten or a hundred years. I might as well use my power to make one final contribution to this world."

After saying this, the earthly immortal’s figure turned into points of light and disappeared completely, and those points of light merged into the peach tree.

The peach tree absorbed the light, but its shape became smaller and smaller, until it finally turned into an ordinary-looking cane.

Ying looked at all this and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. It was not because she had any deep feelings for this earthly immortal whom she met for the first time, but a kind of sadness of "the lips and the teeth are in danger".

The immortal described by Ling Yue, who guided the development of mankind, died so casually in front of two or three people. What about other people in this world?

She had already seen what happened to the villagers in Linxian Village.

So what is her ending in this world? What is Guiyan's ending in this world?

Ying didn't have an answer to this question. She picked up the cane silently and finally sighed:

"Let's go."
