Chapter 429 Living in darkness, but with heart towards light! "The mountains are green and wooded, stretching across the vast expanse with no footsteps below. I climb up to gaze far into the distance, but my mind is not at rest and I am so tired." Suddenly, an elegant and peaceful voice echoed in all directions."I climbed to a high place and looked far into the distance, but the spirit did not come and I was exhausted!" Countless disciples in the Changsheng Book Tower recited the Book of Songs together. Hear the sound. Song Lin paused, his mind wandering, as if he saw an ancient and vast world where the human race originated. The group of practitioners from the Baimang Mountain behind him even stopped, with a look of enlightenment, they felt that the Book of Songs seemed to be able to enlighten people's wisdom and educate the people, and it had the charm of the integration of Taoism and Confucianism. "The eyes are bright and elegant, the spirits are solemn and come to the palace... The crimson palace is crowned with red halls, and the palace of the gods is crowned with mountains. The gods are happy and have descended, and they ride on dragons in the clouds..." The clear and passionate voice continued to chant. "The joy of the gods has descended, and the dragon is riding in the clouds!" All the disciples in the Changsheng Bookstore followed along, and every word seemed to be filled with a fiery passion for humanity. "The spirit is beautiful and I like to serve it. The spirit does not speak but its meaning is conveyed. The sacrifice is not good and the wine is not tasty. The spirit will be drowned and where will it stop? The spirit does not stop and blessings are left to me. I will serve my husband forever..."

Chen Changshou's voice became clearer and clearer in his ears. But to everyone's ears, there was a sense of strangeness that was completely different from the past. "God has blessed me with endless blessings, and I will serve my husband forever!" In each study. The disciples of Changsheng Bookstore sat upright with their bodies erect, and they seemed to emanate a very special aura of righteousness. "A guest is coming." Chen Changshou's voice suddenly paused. "The gates are wide open, welcoming everyone!" All the disciples of Changsheng Bookstore shouted in unison. Boom~ Countless auras rushed up into the sky and gathered into a vast momentum, connecting the entire Changsheng Book Building into one, and then condensed into a phantom of a god whose face could not be seen clearly in the void. The divine man just raised his hand and waved. Suddenly the sky and earth changed color. The sun, the moon, the universe, the sky and the earth all shrank and turned into one small world, which included Song Lin and a group of hundreds of Mangshan monks. "What kind of magical power is this!" Everyone was shocked. Some knowledgeable monks looked even more gloomy. Such magical power is enough to compete with the Dharma Immortal. Their eyes couldn't help but look at Song Lin. Changsheng Bookstore took the lead. How will he cope with it being alone? "What a great song that combines Taoism and Confucianism to send off the gods!"

Song Lin's expression remained unchanged as he stepped into the gate of Changsheng Book House and asked in a loud voice, "Excuse me, Master Chen, is this how Changsheng Book House welcomes guests?" "A polite person is a guest, an impolite person is an enemy." Chen Changshou's voice floated from the mountains. "Oh?" Song Lin couldn't help but laugh, "Yang just went up the mountain to visit, and didn't even enter the door, but he was regarded as an enemy. Could it be that Master Chen is guilty?" "of course not." A ray of clear light streaked through the wind and snow, gradually condensing into a human figure in mid-air. It was the owner of Changsheng Tower - Chen Changshou. It is now the tenth day of December. After not seeing each other for two months, Chen Changshou's body became increasingly ethereal, as if he was about to completely transform into an immortal body and could fly away at any time. He doesn't have many days left! "If there is none, why did you gather all the strength of the sect to prepare so well?" Song Lin questioned loudly. This situation seems very strange. A mere junior in the Divine Mansion Realm actually questioned a great cultivator who had reached the Perfection of the Golden Body Life Pill Realm in public. In front of countless disciples from hundreds of sects in Mangshan and the Changsheng Book House. however. No one present seemed to find it strange. Even Chen Changshou seemed to think it was natural. Hearing Song Lin's words, his face darkened immediately. He looked at him deeply and said, "We are just guarding against the evil demons that have appeared recently. Please forgive us if we have offended you." "What a coincidence." Song Lin smiled again: "I came here today to investigate the murder of the evil demon. Since Master Chen is upright, why don't you untie the formation and let me go into the mountain to take a look!" "..." Chen Changshou stood in the void with an indifferent expression. Everyone couldn't help but feel a strong pressure in their hearts. The atmosphere was tense and on the verge of breaking out. This Yang Qingyuan is really not afraid of death! They have already shown this attitude, yet they are still forcing their way into the mountains to investigate the case. If Chen Changshou is pushed into a corner, it is impossible to predict what extreme things this old immortal who is about to die and has no scruples will do! "It doesn't matter if you die, but don't let us get hurt!" Everyone lamented in their hearts. for a long time. In a heavy and depressing atmosphere.

Chen Changshou faced Song Lin's unyielding gaze. After seeming to ponder for a long time, he slowly raised his hand: "Case in!" Boom~ The phantoms of gods and men in the sky waved at the same time. Instantly. The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas suddenly returned to the four corners of the world. The cold wind blew across the earth, and snowflakes fell on the mountains again. Afterwards. One by one, the disciples of Changsheng Book House walked out of the study and stood silently behind Chen Changshou, forming a subtle confrontation with Song Lin and the thousands of monks from Baimang Mountain behind him. "Everyone, please." Chen Changshou stretched out his hand and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Hahaha, there's no need to be so tense. We are all family. It's just a formality. Don't be like this, don't be like this!" Mingduan Mountain's supreme elder Lu Qifeng stepped forward and tried to smooth things over. He stood beside Song Lin and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Young Master Yang Qingyuan, born in Three Rivers and Nine Springs, and a good friend of Immortal Song Lin. I was entrusted by someone to come and investigate a case. Any offense is due to my duty, so please don't mind it!" "Young Master Yang, this is the founder of Changsheng Bookstore, the owner of Changsheng Bookstore - Chen Changshou." He looked very sad. "Master Chen has lived an upright life, open-minded and elegant. He has been criticized for his evil deeds recently. Changsheng Bookstore has closed its gates for a long time because of this. It is human nature to have such a reaction. Please don't be surprised!" "understand." Song Lin nodded. "Thank you." Chen Changshou's face was calm. "In that case..." Lu Qifeng hesitated. "Into the mountains." Song Lin took a step forward, still tough. "I have heard of Young Master Yang's name. Please come in!" Chen Changshou stepped aside, but his attitude softened. This is the status of Donglin Xianya in the hearts of people all over the world. Even though Song Lin was just pretending to be someone else, and had never publicly disclosed whether he was entrusted by Donglin Xianya, he was only a "friend of Song Lin" and the phrase "entrusted by someone". You can travel unimpeded in the Baimang Mountains. woohoo~~ The wind and snow are getting more severe. Song Lin stepped into the gate of Changsheng Library and looked around as if he was strolling in a garden, from the Taoist temples and study rooms to the library, disciples' residences... and even the sect's main hall and the forbidden areas of later generations.

Accompanied by Chen Changshou, Lu Qifeng and other senior officials of Baimang Mountain, it took three hours to look through the entire Changsheng Bookstore. at the same time. Shi Mingguang, who was hiding in the crowd, was also silently completing the task assigned by Song Lin. Thanks to its low profile in the past. At this moment, his eyes were shining with divine light due to the Taoist technique of seeing qi, like the star-like light of the master, but there was an invisible aura covering his eyes, which did not attract the attention of outsiders. 'strangeness! ' 'The noble aura on Chen Changshou's body is like the scorching sun, and it is also like a layer of divine light that protects the body, with the ability to block any prying eyes. It is similar to the noble aura of my master's family!' He couldn't help but think of the stories passed down by word of mouth in his tribe. Seven thousand years ago. The Shi family also had an ancestor who was said to have entered the evil path and helped the tyrant to commit atrocities. He hid himself with the blood of the noble spirit and caused a huge catastrophe. Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Shi Mingguang's eyes. I became more and more certain that there was something wrong with Chen Changshou. His eyes could not help but stare at Chen Changshou's back, as if he wanted to see through the protective divine light transformed from the great energy. Just then. Chen Changshou in front seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned his head to look. Boom! Shi Mingguang was suddenly shocked and his vision went dark. "Master Chen, may I have a look at all the classics of your sect?" Song Lin's voice sounded at this time. Master Mingguang couldn't help but feel relieved. Two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes. The vision in front of my eyes became blurry and the whole world seemed to become extremely far away. "What a terrifying level of cultivation!" Shi Mingguang was horrified. With just one glance, the opponent broke his qi-reading technique and almost broke his mind. If Song Lin had not spoken, he would have completely collapsed and turned into a muddleheaded fool. "presumptuous!" "Yang Qingyuan, if you want to investigate a case, why do you want to read the books in my Changsheng Book House?" "Could it be that you want to use this to get involved in my sect's secret teachings?" "I think you have bad intentions!" Disputes broke out again in Changsheng Bookstore.

Song Lin's words really aroused opposition from countless people in Changsheng Bookstore. They were filled with righteous indignation and began to attack Song Lin. "can." Chen Changshou's old voice seemed a little tired. "Head!" "father!" "Grandpa, no!" "Who the hell is this Yang Qingyuan? How dare a mere divine mansion be so presumptuous! We kill... we drive him out!" There were screams of surprise. "Forget it." Chen Changshou waved his hand. His face was full of fatigue, and his straight waist gradually bent down. "I am old, and I will no longer be able to protect you in a few days. Since Young Master Yang wants to investigate, let's investigate it thoroughly today, so as not to disturb the peace of the rest of my life." "Thank you, Mr. Chen." Song Lin bowed and chuckled. Seeing his smug look, all the disciples of Changsheng Bookstore wanted to punch him in the face. After a while. Song Lin sat alone in front of the main hall of the Changsheng Bookstore. Hundreds of secret books and scriptures were neatly arranged on the table. He opened them one by one and checked them carefully, not missing any mistakes or omissions. This attitude made everyone around look at each other in surprise. What on earth does Yang Qingyuan want to do? Changsheng Bookstore has made such concessions, isn’t that enough? Wow~~ In the quiet square, there was no other noise except the sound of pages turning. Inadvertently. Song Lin glanced at Shi Mingguang's swaying figure, which seemed to be unable to stand, and sighed in his heart. today. It looks like that's the end of it. "I can't, I can't let Young Master Yang down..." Shi Mingguang's mind was in a mess. He tried to open his eyes. But it felt like everything around him was far away, and the figures were vague, but he couldn't see clearly where Chen Changshou was. "My Qi-gazing technique has failed. My eyes...will no longer function after today. I have failed...No! I cannot give up!" "The command to subdue demons is worn by the virtuous."

"If I can't even do this little thing, even if Young Master Yang returns the treasure to the Master's family, what right do I have to use it?" "Grandpa once said that I am the future of the Shi family! My origin represents hope... Mingguang, Mingguang, the light of tomorrow! The Shi family has walked out of the darkest period and is about to usher in a bright future." "I...can't give up!" Boom~~ A dull heartbeat. this moment. Master Mingguang seemed to hear a strong and powerful beating in his heart. The whole world suddenly became dark. Both eyes completely lost their function. He seemed to be trapped in some strange state, and saw a ray of light from the endless darkness. 'Living in darkness, but looking to the light!' Endless white light suddenly burst out. Shi Mingguang closed his eyes, and suddenly a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He 'saw' it! He saw the dark and evil heart hidden under Chen Changshou's righteous spirit. He also saw the numb and dull hearts of countless Changsheng Book House disciples under their angry expressions. I saw the entire Changsheng Bookstore, which seemed to be thriving, but was actually a dead silent purgatory! Chen Changshou—it’s you! "Ok?" Song Lin paused while flipping through the book. Suddenly I felt that there seemed to be a slight movement in the reincarnation destiny plate. It is not the reincarnation chart itself, but comes from a kind of resonance, a resonance between lives with the same fate. "Living in darkness, our hearts are looking to the light!" Feng Ting's desperate yet hopeful voice seemed to echo in his mind. Song Lin suddenly understood. Look up. I happened to see Shi Mingguang with his eyes closed and a bright smile on his face. "Good fellow! He actually broke through and then stood up again, and advanced his destiny at this juncture. Master Ye named him Master Mingguang, and he really did not make a mistake!" Snapped! The sound of the book suddenly closing attracted everyone's attention. "Sorry for disturbing you today." Song Lin stood up and patted the snowflakes on his shoulders. "Young Master Yang is not going to investigate anymore?" Chen Changshou's son Chen Xuangui asked.

"No." Song Lin stepped forward and said, "The Changsheng Book House is full of righteousness and the fragrance of books. This time, Yang has misunderstood. After I subdue the evil demon, I will come to apologize in person." "See you off, distinguished guest!" Chen Changshou's voice seemed a little cold. "No need to send far away." Song Lin waved his hand and was the first to step out of the gate of Changsheng Bookstore. A group of hundreds of Mangshan monks followed closely behind, bowing to the tired-looking Chen Changshou with guilty looks on their faces. Today's incident has completely "cleared" the suspicion of Changsheng Bookstore and Chen Changshou. Facing this old man who was open-minded and faced death calmly, everyone felt guilty. After a while. Everyone in the group left. Changsheng Bookstore suddenly fell into an eerie silence. "Did you find it?" Chen Changshou looked at the wind and snow in the distance, his calm face seemed a little distorted by the cold wind. "That kid just now was using the Qi-reading technique to spy on me." "Humph!" "If I hadn't been blessed by my past life, I would have fallen into their trap. Hehe, hahahaha... sooner or later, you will all become my... food!" The gloomy and deep voice seemed to come from hell. "Dad~" Chen Xuangui's face was dull, and he shouted foolishly as if out of instinct. "Don't worry, kid." Chen Changshou stroked his head lovingly: "When I reach the heavens and live forever, I will definitely come back from the reincarnation to find you. We, father and son...will never be separated!" "father!" Tears unknowingly welled up in Chen Xuangui's eyes. The dull expression seemed to be in extreme pain, and was twisted into a ball. "Ha ha ha ha" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" Countless crazy laughs spread throughout the world. Chen Changshou, Chen Xuangui... and all the disciples of the Changsheng Book House grinned and laughed, with eerie black air overflowing from their eyes.

The bright and majestic Changsheng Bookstore suddenly turned into a world of endless darkness. Some people live in darkness, but their hearts are toward light. But some people choose to embrace darkness in the endless despair on their way to life. - night. Dark as the abyss. Song Lin stood quietly in the yard, looking up at the foggy night sky. for a long time. Knock knock~~ "Come in." He did not move, as he had already guessed who the visitor was. "Fellow Daoist Song Yang." Shi Mingguang closed his eyes and stepped into the courtyard step by step. Although he was blind, he seemed to have a heart, and could see everything around him. It was a perfect disguise that almost no one could see through, even under Song Lin's Dharma Immortal Realm. “You have indeed discovered it.” Song Lin turned around and smiled. "Tell me what you saw in Changsheng Bookstore today. How many days does the upright Chen Changshou have left to live?" (End of this chapter)
