142: The Courtyard of the Dead(1/2)

There is no love without reason in this world. If there is, maybe this person is your parent or child, but you don't know it yet.

As the saying goes, what people in the world fear most is forgiveness.

"The mountain chief uses magic to communicate with the gods. Is there anything else you can't do?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Haha, you want to refuse?" The mountain leader stared at Lou Jinchen with a faint look.

Lou Jinchen cheered up. He felt that the mountain leader was in danger at this time and said, "I'm just afraid that I won't do well."

"Your sword is just right for this job," the mountain chief said.

After saying that, he walked towards the door, asking Lou Jinchen to follow him.

Lou Jinchen quickly picked up the mirror on the table, put on his sword and followed the mountain leader.

Shan Chang walked all the way outside Taixue.

Lou Jinchen didn't know what the mountain leader was going to do. He just felt that the darkness in front of him was as thick as ink. He felt that he had walked into a mountain and river painted in ink.

Lou Jinchen did not use his eyes to see. He believed that his own eyes would be able to see something clearly. However, he was also afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he resisted the urge after thinking about it.

"Do you know how long it has been since I went out?" the mountain leader suddenly asked.

"Xiaolou is young and has little knowledge. He doesn't know the life of the mountain leader." Lou Jinchen said modestly.

"I entered this Taixue School as the headmaster at the age of fifty-three. It has been more than two hundred years ago. You have also heard a saying that people in this world cannot live more than three hundred years. If they live longer than three hundred years, they will either go crazy or mutate." Shan

Lou Jinchen's heart suddenly trembled at Chang's words. Before, he felt that Shan Chang looked tired sometimes, but now he felt that Shan Chang was unfathomable.

"I'm going to die. When the time comes, I must die completely. Otherwise, I will be like the previous two mountain chiefs, who didn't die completely but kept running out." The mountain chief's words were obviously directed at Lou Jinchen.

Tell some secrets.

It was also telling him that the being who had just been summoned was one of the two previous mountain chiefs.

"No matter what happens when a person is alive, when he dies, he must die quietly and without any worries, Xiaolou, don't you think so?" the mountain leader asked.

Lou Jinchen, who was following the mountain leader, couldn't answer. After all, many people don't want to die. There is a saying that the winner is the one who lives long. Of course, those who can still get up after death may say: "Don't

Nonsense, I’m not dead yet.”

"Death may be just the beginning." This sentence suddenly flashed in Lou Jinchen's mind.

"Okay, that's well said. Xiaolou has wisdom, but this beginning is in the world of the dead, and we are the living. The world of the living does not allow the dead to come out at will. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos.

, Do you think it’s Xiaolou?” the mountain leader asked again.

"Xiaolou has few talents and little knowledge. I think..."

"Okay, that's good. There are too few people with clear self-awareness like you, Xiaolou."

Lou Jinchen held back what the mountain leader said. Suddenly, he felt that the mountain leader must not have many friends.

"Xiaolou, it's not that the chief's words are unpalatable, but that the world is too complicated. Some people, even though they clearly disagree with what others say, pretend to compliment you and then talk about it elsewhere. I hate this the most.

"People." Shan Chang was walking in front, and there was the sound of water under his feet.

Lou Jinchen felt a bone-chilling chill coming up from his feet.

"Shan Chief, where are we going?" Lou Jinchen couldn't help but ask.

"I've told you so much, but you still haven't understood. You said you were not very talented and knowledgeable, but you were not lying. Of course we are going to the world of the dead," the mountain chief said.

Lou Jinchen couldn't help but look around again. All he saw was boundless darkness, and he wanted to see with his own eyes.

"Xiaolou, has anyone told you that on the way to the dead, we cannot awaken the souls of those who are not completely dead. Your eyes are like piercing people with needles when looking at people. It is best to

Be more restrained," the mountain chief said.

This was the first time for Lou Jinchen that someone commented on his eyes like this. He was still very surprised and said: "Shan Zhang, please don't bully Xiaolou because he is young. I also have good eyes. How could it be like this?" Lou Jinchen said.

"If you don't believe it, then go and have a look. If you get caught by some weird things, don't blame me for not telling you in advance." The mountain leader said slowly.

Lou Jinchen always felt that he was making alarmist claims, but since there was no evidence, he did not fight him for the sake of his long life.

"Shan Chief, Xiaolou has always been curious, what kind of Tao do you practice?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Boy, do you think it's polite for you to ask me this question since the first day you came here?" the mountain leader said with a sneer.

Lou Jinchen was silent, looking at Shan Chang's back and then at his neck under his white hair.

"Hey, Xiaolou, don't blame me, old man, for not listening to me. After all, I'm old, and I don't have a few years left to live. I always have some emotions that I can't control. Can you understand the chief?" the chief asked.

"Chief, I think, you..." Lou Jinchen started to speak, but the Head already sighed and said, "Young people nowadays always say 'I think, I feel', so can't they speak more simply?

"

"Shan Chief, Xiaolou is still young and cannot understand the mood of an old and dying person like you!" As soon as Lou Jinchen finished speaking, the whole road suddenly became silent.

The mountain chief stopped talking.

"Shan Zhang, can you share your feelings of old age with a person like Xiaolou who is less than thirty?" Lou Jinchen asked again.

"Haha, haha!" The mountain leader suddenly laughed in front and said: "Young people nowadays can't bear any losses. I can only say a few words to make my heart beat wildly and I want to eat people!"

His last words were drawn out in a long tone, with infinite sighs and a sense of suppressed pain.

Lou Jinchen's heart tightened and he said: "Chief Shan, let's all have a good chat. Chatting well will make you feel better, don't you think so? Chief Shan, you are getting stronger and stronger, and you will definitely be able to break through the shackles of longevity."

"Okay, you are such a good boy. He sounds better in the blink of an eye. You can really make your way according to the wind." The mountain leader sighed.

Lou Jinchen fell silent.

Ahead, a long river appeared, the river water glowing with a faint cold light.

The mountain chief walked along the river step by step, and he suddenly said: "Xiaolou, do you want to be the mountain chief of this Taixue?"

"Xiaolou doesn't want to." Lou Jinchen said.

"What's the point of being locked up here every day as a mountain chief?" Lou Jinchen said.

"What if I can't be locked up here?" the mountain leader said.

"I don't want to, I can go anywhere in the world with my sword, why should I stay in such a place to wait for death?" After Lou Jinchen finished speaking, he felt that what he said was not good, because when he said 'wait, wait'

"Death" seems to be mocking the mountain leader.

The mountain leader was silent for a while and sighed: "Young people today are very stingy. They say everyone should talk nicely, but they always have thorns and swords."

"Chief, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back." Lou Jinchen corrected his mistake and immediately apologized.

"Forget it, young people have not yet reached the realm of life and death, but they always like to wander between life and death. Xiaolou, you said you don't want to be the mountain chief, but there are people who want to be the mountain chief. What do you think they think?" Shan

Chang asked.

"Why did the mountain chief want to be the mountain chief?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"I, it's been so long, I have forgotten." The mountain leader said, "If I remembered, I would never come back to ask you."

Lou Jinchen looked up at the sky. There were no stars in the sky. Looking into the distance, it was pitch black. Only the river running next to him made no sound. Under the sparkling light, there seemed to be endless mystery.

Suddenly, something jumped out of the water, like a fish, but there was a giant fish in the water, jumping up behind him and swallowing it in one bite.

"Is this really the world of the dead?" Lou Jinchen couldn't help but ask.

"The dead are just what the living call them. Whether it's life or death, it's just a state. Don't you want to know the way I cultivate? Take a guess first." The mountain leader said.

"Yam Luo!" Lou Jinchen said directly.

The mountain leader was silent for a while and said: "That's why I always feel that young people nowadays are dishonest. They know clearly but still pretend not to know."

"Shan Chief, you misunderstood. Once, I met an old man. After Xiaolou explained the way he cultivated, he seemed unhappy, so Xiaolou felt that he might need to pretend.

Only then can we please the elderly." Lou Jinchen said.

"Alas!" The mountain leader sighed again and said, "Xiaolou, please talk nicely."

"Yes, Chief Shan." Lou Jinchen said.

"There are few inheritances of Yama Tao in the world. How could you guess it? Have you seen it before?" asked the mountain chief.

Lou Jinchen thought for a while and said: "I don't know. I once met a black ape who seemed to have the ability to walk between yin and yang. The mountain leader took me from the world of the living to the world of the dead. Such ability has never been seen before.

I’ve seen it before, so I guess it’s the path of Yama!”

"You guessed it right. What I practice is indeed the Yama Way, and the previous two mountain chiefs also practiced this way. It is precisely because of this way that when my life comes to an end, I am not willing to die like this, and I think that I

You can still live in another way. After all, the Yama Way is a practice that walks in Yin and Yang and has the most contact with the dead. Even if you want to die, it is difficult to die completely," the mountain leader said.

"Then I wonder where the mountain leader will take Xiaolou to now? I would like to ask the mountain leader to explain clearly so that Xiaolou can be mentally prepared." Lou Jinchen said.

"I will take you to kill the two mountain chiefs." the mountain chief said.

This answer not only surprised Lou Jinchen, but also made him feel not surprised.

"Didn't the mountain chief scare away the 'mountain chief' with just one word? What?" What Lou Jinchen wants to say is, if you want to kill him, it's not easy. Do you still need me to go?

"I can't kill them. I am a fellow practitioner with them. They are already dead. How can I kill them again? Now I am just detaining them, but I myself will die. In the future, even if I die, there will be no one."

You can detain me who is already dead." There was a hint of worry in the mountain chief's words.

But for some reason, Lou Jinchen heard a sense of excitement again, and Lou Jinchen felt a strong conflicting emotion from him.

The mountain leader seems to be looking forward to the scene where no one can do anything to him after his death.
