When they met again suddenly, Lin Luoran's father and daughter lost control of their emotions for a long time.
Mu Tiannan knew that she was suffocated with longing, and when she was completely released from crying, he stood aside and asked about the rest of the Lin family and the whereabouts of his old master Mu.
You must know that although the Mu family suffered heavy losses in the Earth Defense War, when the Tongtian Tower parted, he remembered that apart from his grandfather, there were a few other cousins still there.
The old man Ge Bu was still called "Qin Xiaojiu" when he was old. Seeing that the criminal he suspected before was Uncle Lin's beloved daughter, he kept pouring tea and water diligently, trying to reverse the situation left in the hearts of Lin and Mu. impression.
Hearing Mu Tiannan's question, Father Lin was embarrassed to wipe away his tears, and pointed at "Qin Xiaojiu", "Hurry up and inform the Mu family that the third child is back!"
Mu Tiannan waved his hands, "I'll just follow him. Uncle and Luo Ran reunited after a long absence, so we should get together."
Mu Tiannan followed Qin Xiaojiu out to find the Mu family, with a wink at leaving room for Lin Luoran and his daughter to be alone.
Lin Luoran calmed down after crying, looked at Qin Xiaojiu's old and firm back and asked in doubt, "Who is he?"
"It's a descendant of the Qin family. Back then, Qin Nian refused to leave the earth with us, and only let him take his son and daughter with him. His sons and daughters also have no foundation. After they settled down, they married wives and had children and recruited husbands. Now there are several generations , there is no descendant who has a Taoist foundation to practice, and Qin Xiaojiu just now is the sixth generation grandson of Qin Nian."
If mortals combine with mortals to produce offspring with Daoji, it is really a matter of luck. Like the Rong family who stayed on the earth, it is only now that Rong Xinyi has appeared.
"A life of joy and peace is no worse than cultivation, it depends on the chance."
Father Lin nodded. He hadn't seen him for hundreds of years, and he saw that Lin Luoran was much more sensible.
Lin Luoran didn't mention the fact that she could shape the foundation, and directed the topic to other people.
Father Lin had a lot to say, so he spoke slowly.
When everyone came to this world through the Tongtian Tower, the Lin family naturally fell on the same planet. With the concerted efforts of everyone, although they still brought many ordinary people with them, they quickly adapted.
Until the news of Wuxingdan Daoji leaked, not to mention the completely different experiences of Xiaoan and Wen Guanjing, Li Xier's sect was already in decline, and it was damaged in the battle to defend the earth. How could he be able to protect her
Li Xi'er originally planned to leave the sect by herself, and then join Dazong to keep everyone safe. Luo Dong and Cui Wanlu are both disciples of the Lin Sect. Anyway, they believe that Lin Luoran is a family member, and they are destined to live in Cao Ying for the rest of their lives. The big faction rushes to accept them as disciples. The safety of human life will not be affected, so the three people reached a consensus.
But their practice of wanting to unanimously fall to a certain faction angered other forces. Based on the idea of destroying if they can't get it, they simply planned to kill them all so as not to make other big sects cheaper.
A group of people dragged their families along, including monks and mortals, and they couldn't even hide with Qingcheng Guan disciples like the Huizhu old Taoist. En wooed each other, and decisively followed the advice of the mad Taoist to keep the ordinary people in the team in the mortal world. The group will never be able to drag Wen Guanjing to ask Jianzong to come to rescue.
The matter was too much trouble, although Jianzong wanted to bring all three of them into the gate, "one sect, two sects and three sects" is not what Jianzong alone has the final say on.
Jianzong came forward to mediate and taught the three of them to join the sect separately and everyone would be happy. At this time, there were already many casualties here, and the blood debt could not be repaid. How could Lin Luodong and the others be willing to join the sect of the enemy? In particular, there are only three or two kittens left in Li Xi'er's house, and the situation is only slightly better than that of Xiao An.
After decades of concealment, Jianzong was also under great pressure. Wen Guanjing had become a direct disciple of Jianzong at that time, and begged the suzerain to protect them if he wanted to die. He is a debt collector, but he can't really ignore the opinions of his preferred successor. After having a secret conversation with Wen Guanjing, he pointed out a way out for him - to enter the backup planet of Jianzong, and he can never reappear in the cultivation world without enough strength. boundary.
The younger generation needs time to grow up. They have no strength of their own. It is a bad idea to rely on others. The crazy Taoist agrees, and everyone dare not have other opinions.
The master of Jianzong was urged by the disciples of the debt collector ghost, and with the idea of forming a good relationship, he sent everyone away in batches.
Externally, there was a good show of "Jianzong kindly aids, white-eyed wolf steals treasure and escapes", and everyone completely disappeared under the noses of "one sect, two sects and three sects".
The Tianji sect may know about it, but the Tianji sect rarely meddles in their own business. Those who didn't stand up and break the news, the other big factions couldn't just rely on doubts to turn against Jianzong. When the matter gradually faded, Wen Guanjing retrieved the relatives of the monks who were stranded on other planets one by one. Most of them already had family descendants in the local area, and all of them were sent to the secret planet reserved by Jianzong. Wen Guanjing of the Zongzong and Xiaoan of the Tianjizong gradually became famous, and the major forces were extremely regretful. When they wanted to find the remaining three single-daoist monks, the monks from the earth had already taken root on the unknown planet. Where could they find them? .
The unnamed planet is where Jianzong has left for many years to retreat. Wen Guanjing's saying that the conditions are not good is not modest.
When the Lin family first came, the conditions were really bad. The poisonous miasma ravaged, the ubiquitous monsters, the aborigines who were as powerful as cows and could not communicate, all relying on the defensive formations laid by the mad Taoists, everyone had a base to retreat, and thus gradually established the leisurely Taoyuan Town.
"Jiang Daochang has done too much for everyone. Fortunately, after settling down, Jiang Daochang advanced quickly. He successfully passed the God Transformation Tribulation more than 20 years ago and ascended to the spirit world."
The mad Taoist was already in the alchemy stage when he was on the earth, and the reason why he couldn't break through was that his own heart knot was unraveled. After arriving in the world of cultivation, with such ample aura, it took him another four hundred years to pass the Nascent Soul stage to transform into a god and cross the catastrophe. Considering his aptitude, it is considered slow, right? Father Lin was right, the mad Taoist was indeed burdened by everyone—it was just a pity that if she had arrived more than 20 years earlier, Bao Jia would have seen the mad Taoist again.
Father Lin comforted, "Dao Chang said before the catastrophe that once you find her, that girl Baojia will definitely be with you. He told you not to slacken your cultivation and reunite in the spirit world as soon as possible."
Lin Luoran nodded, it was a happy event for the mad Taoist to ascend. Just one thing, he owes a lot of karma, besides Baojia wanting to see him, the lovesick tree demon "A Wu" and Schisandra "Yang Lisha" may also have some debts to settle with the mad Taoist, but he ascended at the right time.
Papa Lin's tone changed, and he hesitated suddenly:
"Luo Dong and Wan Lu have successfully conceived babies, and Xi'er's girl has a higher level of cultivation than them. Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian are both fine. Your father is useless. All these years, you have been taken care of by your disciples. Your mother, your mother... went to the cultivation world within a few years."
Papa Lin's eyes glowed again, the difference between immortals caused the two husband and wife and the only daughter to be separated for hundreds of years, and the old wife didn't even see her daughter for the last time. These are not things he can solve. The most useless thing is that in the few years when he first arrived in the cultivation world, his life in hiding and hiding in Tibet was really not good. Although Mama Lin took various pills refined by Yuan Ye to prolong her life, In the end, the hundred-year-old mortal body couldn't stand the toss, and died when they were exhausted.
If it wasn't for not seeing his daughter, Father Lin wouldn't be able to survive now. Even though it is supported by the belief that he wants to see his beloved daughter again, Father Lin is still getting older after the ascension of the mad Taoist more than 20 years ago.
Lin Luoran held Papa Lin's hand with her backhand. The three-line Daoist foundation is not a good qualification, but she didn't believe that in four hundred years, Papa Lin couldn't conceive a baby under the priority of resources provided by several disciples of the Lin family. Now that he is getting old, it is the reason why the five-hundred-year lifespan of the alchemy cultivator is approaching... Papa Lin’s heart knot is here. After Mama Lin’s death, he lost his aggressive attitude towards practice, and it was all supported by a belief So, the more time passed, the more the days passed by.
Lin's mother is not Mu Tiannan, as early as Lin Luoran came back from Penglai, she was ready to face this ending after knowing that time flies, but when she heard Lin's father say that Lin's mother left, she was still too sad to say no Speak up.
She wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry, as if she had dried up her tears just now.
"Dad, in fact, my daughter found the Penglai Fairy Mountain, and she also learned how to create a base for mortals. When I come back excitedly, the earth is already in the new era of 305 years, and you are all gone..."
Lin Luoran muttered to herself, and Papa Lin hugged her distressedly.
Both the father and the daughter were silent, and it was fate. Some things were really destined by the heavens. The more you want to hold on tightly, the faster it will slip away.
If she hadn't insisted on looking for Penglai Xianshan back then, the three members of the family would still have lived together for decades. She was greedy to keep everyone, but she was separated from her family and friends for hundreds of years.
Lin Luoran closed her eyes, not seeing Mama Lin for the last time was the biggest regret in her life.
"Dad, I want to visit the grave."
Father Lin naturally agreed.
Mama Lin's cemetery is on the east side of Taoyuan Town, and it is lined with pines and cypresses. Mama Lin was not the only one who was buried. When Lin Luoran and his daughter arrived, they saw that Mu Tiannan was also supporting Mu Lao and the Mu family in the park. This is not a good place to reminisce about the past, and Mr. Mu just nodded to Lin Luoran and his daughter as a greeting.
Lin Ma passed away, and everyone in the Lin family was still in danger. There was no way to buy such a treasure coffin as to keep Fairy Bai's body from decaying for thousands of years. It was only thanks to Cui Wanlu's water-based ice-melting magic all the way on the way to escape that she was able to preserve Lin Ma's body.
No one suggested cremation, and when Jianzong came to rescue, Wen Guanjing even found a set of talisman arrays, and kept Lin Ma's body in an unmelted ice coffin.
Looking through the ice, Mama Lin seemed to be asleep.
Lin Luoran caressed the lid of the coffin. If the ten thousand years of ice that Ye Zhao had found for Fairy Bai could have sealed the passage of time, Mama Lin would have had a chance...
"If only time could turn back..."
"If you could turn back time, what would you do?"
The male voice that broke in suddenly made Lin Luoran suddenly look up.
A man with an ordinary face, long hair hanging behind his head, and a simple robe appeared under the pine and cypress tree at some point, looking at her quietly.
"robe?!"
...
The robe suddenly appeared in front of him, Lin Luoran hadn't made any preparations to see him again.
But just as he had appeared suddenly every time before, this time was no exception.
Hearing Lin Luoran's sudden shout, Father Lin wondered, "Who are you calling?"
Being ordered by Lao Liao and Hu Jier, the word "robe" was no different from a super-level warning word to Mu Tiannan, but he followed Lin Luoran's gaze, there were only pines and cypresses shaking gently in the breeze, where was anyone
Lin Luoran stood up and took two steps, feeling very complicated: "Can't they see you?"
"You want them to see it?"
Lin Luoran nodded, the robe was clear, and the next moment everyone saw the extra figure under the pine and cypress tree.
Mu Tiannan's eyes straightened.
The robe seemed a bit awkward, "Look and see, can you leave, I have something to say to her."
There is no wave or joy, the tone of the robe is very gentle, but there is no way for people to refuse. Father Lin looked at his daughter hesitantly. The old man Mu had matured and had already let the Mu family leave as kindly as possible. Only Mu Tiannan and Ai Ai refused to leave, causing the robe to look at him from the corner of the eye.
"Learn the skills of blood bats. It's not easy for you today, so you should cherish it."
Mu Tiannan's heart was shocked. He learned his kung fu from the Great Demon of the Great Desolation, the old bat demon, the Venerable Black Mist, but the man in front of him kept the old bat under the magnetic mountain, and he could not survive. Now, there is no holding back.
Lin Luoran gritted her teeth, "Can we talk in another place?"
She didn't want Mu Tiannan to conflict with the robe, Mu Laosan had no chance of winning if he angered him, and besides, she subconsciously didn't want to provoke the robe.
The robe nodded, and Lin Luoran only had time to cast Mu Tiannan an apologetic look before disappearing in place together with the robe.
Mu Tiannan punched the tree so hard that the pine and cypress broke at the waist.
A few lights suddenly flashed near the cemetery, and Lao Liao appeared in the open space with Fairy Bai and the others.
Lao Liao swept across the entire Taoyuan Town in an instant, grabbed Mu Tiannan and asked, "Where is Xiaolinzi?!"
"he came."
Mu Tiannan only gave three words, which was enough to make Lao Liao jump.
"You idiot!"
Master Liao hates iron but not steel. They heard the message from Jianzong and rushed all the way to Luoxiaxing. When Wen Guanjing said that Lin Luoran had just arrived, and her mother had already passed away, Lao Liao guessed that the person would definitely be there. It's too late to choose to appear at this time!
With a heartache on his face, he took out a purple bell from his bosom and crushed it, and Lao Liao also disappeared in place in an instant.
Mu Tiannan wanted to chase, but Fairy Bai stopped him.
"Let Xiao Linzi deal with it, it won't help if you go."
The most important thing was that Fairy Bai had seen the long robe make a hand when she let Venerable Black Mist enter the illusion, and with a random finger, the bat demon turned into dust under her finger.
Such an existence, who wants to do something, who can stop it.
Mu Tiannan forced himself to be calm, but in reality he was already showing signs of losing his mind.
Fairy Bai sighed.
It is a thousand times more difficult for Mu Tiannan to be with Xiao Linzi than it is for her to go to the spirit world to find Ye Zhao.
...
"You haven't answered me yet. If you could turn back time, what would you want to do?"
Lin Luoran appeared on a floating cloud with Lin Luoran in the robe, from which one could overlook half of the unknown star.
Lin Luoran stared at a certain direction under the clouds in a daze, "Who can turn back time."
The robe and she looked in the same direction, the unremarkable scene of the wild planet, I don't know what Lin Luoran was looking at, but he still returned to Lin Luoran's self-talk: "You don't need to rely on anyone, you can do it yourself .Do you still remember the star map in your hand, you used it to go back more than two thousand years ago."
Lin Luoran was shocked, and looked up at the robe. His expression was calm, but it didn't look like he was telling a joke.
"I feel like you're not the same as before..."
The robe chuckled, "The past you remember probably refers to the wisp of distraction I left in the bead."
It's just a ray of distraction, which is naturally different from the deity. Just like what he remembered, it was too different from the person in front of him.
Lin Luoran stared at his expression, and said word by word, "I thought I used the Tongtian Tower to return to ancient Babylon."
The robe could not help but laugh: "Whether it is the Tongtian Tower or the star map, they are all a kind of medium. What is the difference in reality? There are countless intersecting time and space planes in the universe. If you find the nodes where they intersect, you can go to any time and place. Place."
Lin Luoran held her breath, "Back when my mother was alive, I didn't have the node to go to Penglai Xianyu, is that okay?"
The smile on Robe's face restrained a bit, "Before you choose, let me show you something."
He wiped the blue sky in front of him with his hands, and the scenery before Lin Luoran's eyes had changed drastically.
The hot star and the eight planets orbiting it are the solar system where the earth is located. If the clock is turned back to before Lin Luoran went to Penglai Xianshan.
She saw that she had given up on her family's persuasion and stayed with Lin's mother and Lin's father. Several disciples walked around her knees, and the atmosphere of the entire Lin family was very harmonious and happy.
The eldest disciple is successful in alchemy, and the second disciple is obsessed with swordsmanship. After finishing university, Luo Dong continued his studies until he got a Ph. D., and married Wei Xue, who has a mortal body. Xiaotuanzi Cui Wanlu was dejected, Huang Weijian fought with Luo Dong and went out to practice, and never came back.
The days were smooth and beautiful, and then Huaxia announced the interstellar voyage plan, and the Alpha Alliance's aggression came as scheduled.
Only Lin Luoran at the alchemy stage didn't play a big role in the war. After the war broke out, people familiar with Lin Luoran kept dying, including Mu Tiannan who didn't practice the monster clan skills. When the mad Taoist proposed to activate the protection of the gods, the earth was still in a state of desolation.
Baojia was sleeping in the dust array of Liangyi, Liu Zheng chose to stay and wait for Baojia to wake up.
Lin Luoran led the crowd away. The dead air was getting worse and worse day by day. The dead air finally plundered the aura of the soul-cultivating tree. Bao Jia kept sleeping and didn't wake up when his life energy was exhausted.
Without Lin Luoran to complete the five elements, in the end the earth would be barren and inhabited, and the earthlings would completely abandon their home planet.
The azure planet was so dead that even mutant beasts could not survive. After several years, it withered from the inside, until one day it weathered and disintegrated into a pile of rubble belts orbiting the sun.
The picture brought by the robe is too real, and the scene is like Lin Luoran experienced it personally.
A long time after all the pictures disappeared, Lin Luoran's cheeks felt cool.
"Would all of this have happened if I hadn't gone to Penglai?"
"Um."
Time and space are full of variables. Everyone's choices have the opportunity to influence the future without knowing it. The only difference is that some influences are subtle, while others are obvious. Since asking to become a god, and participating in the reconstruction of the earth, Lin Luoran has never put himself in the position of a savior.
She didn't expect that she would play such an important role. Thinking of Mu Tiannan who might die, Bao Jia who might die, and even the blue planet that withered completely in the end, something was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
"However, since I can go back to Babylon through time and space, and go back to before the catastrophe with my current cultivation level, will everything be solved?"
Disappointed by Lin Luoran, the robe shook his head and asked back.
"In the time and space of ancient Babylon, is there another you? Two you cannot exist in the same time and space at the same time. It's okay to be a time traveler. Once you try to go back to the past and change the known future that concerns you, you will definitely pay the same price. price to exchange.
The you before the catastrophe will disappear.
Your mother survived smoothly, maybe your father will die unexpectedly.
The way of heaven is very fair, just like the person next to you who is practicing the blood bat technique. He was originally a mortal who lived eighty years without a wife and no children. Let another child of the Mu family who may have a great success die. This still depends on the consequences of his efforts in rebuilding the planet and being sheltered by merit. "
Lin Luoran took two steps back, another child of the Mu family who might have a great success, is he talking about Xiao Liu of the Mu family
"What about you... I know you are very powerful. There was no other you before the catastrophe. If you took the shot, would everything that happened be prevented?"
She knew that her request was extremely unreasonable, but Lin Luoran subconsciously understood that no matter how willful she was, the robe would never refuse her request.
Sure enough, after the robe heard it, the smile that had been hanging on his face stagnated slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly after a while.
"If that's what you want, so be it."
The robe stepped forward and grabbed Lin Luoran's hand, "Hold me tight."
Lin Luoran felt that everything was as unreal as a dream, and the palms of the robes were very warm. The moment the two palms held each other, frames of images flooded in like a tide.
A long time ago, she walked all over Qichuan Daze holding the same hands.
He taught her how to practice, and the two stayed together day and night. Her biggest dream was that he could walk slower, and she had to walk faster, and then faster, so as to catch up with his unattainable figure.
She saw the lonely girl when she was young, saw the girl enter the Qi training school, and was massacred by the bat demon.
Facing the threat of the bat demon, the only senior brother who was still alive closed his eyes in despair as he couldn't bear to witness the brutal murder of a young girl. When the bat demon's hand fell, the juvenile girl was not torn to pieces like her fellow disciples before.
A person picked her up, it was the "God" who fell from the sky.
She watched him leave after finishing the Blood Bat Clan, and it was she who chased after him with her broken leg, relentlessly chasing him all the way, and finally managed to stay by his side.
This kind of "chasing" has run through the long years, and has quietly deteriorated in getting along day and night.
She began to ask for more, but there were some things that even he couldn't give. She has the emotions of a mortal, but he has long lost something in his long and lonely infinite life.
He said that no matter who they are, two people can't be together forever, just like the earth star under their feet, see how many powerful Qi practitioners and monster races it breeds, but one day it will still "die".
At that time, she was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, and she was tired of chasing after a long time, so she made a desperate bet with him:
"You don't care about it, but it is the planet I was born on. Even if the gods and Buddhas don't care about this dust, I will save it! If I succeed, you are not allowed to mention that two people can't be together forever The matter... Take this as an appointment, give me a chance, okay?"
He knew that he used the little girl to be willful and arrogant, and once she decided to do something, she would silently finish it, no matter what method she used.
"However, if you want to change the established fate of the stars, even if I help you to deceive the heavens, you will have to pay a price. You will re-enter the cycle of reincarnation... Are you willing to do this?"
"willing."
She was as stubborn as before, when she raised her face, she was still the same as when she was a child who refused to admit defeat to the bat demon.
The robe agreed, and the bead space was given away.
She lost all her cultivation and re-entered reincarnation.
The scene came abruptly, and Lin Luoran stood speechless on the clouds.
The stubborn little girl was reluctant to give up the planet she was born in, and she was also reluctant to give up the robe, so the price of her re-entering reincarnation finally changed the fate of the blue star.
She faltered and staggered, but finally fulfilled the promise of the year, and he, who is high above him, was also touched. He came from the free and unfettered world, ready to fulfill the "covenant" ten thousand years ago, and give her a chance, and give himself a chance.
If the source of everything that happened came from the covenant between the scorpion and the robe, then who is "Lin Luoran"
It takes time for all the memories of the previous life to flow in. The robe didn't rush, he just quietly accompanied her, just like the way the two got along ten thousand years ago.
A purple light flashed in front of the clouds, and Lao Liao's figure suddenly appeared.
The heart that jumped to the throat fell back to its original place, it was no use for him to waste a rare treasure, and finally caught up.
The robe's face remained unchanged, and after looking at Lao Liao for a while, he seemed to remember who he was.
"You shouldn't be here in this world."
Lao Liao's eyes were gloomy, "I'm not like you, I cultivated too much and lost my feelings. I didn't want that silly girl to accompany you for many years, but I really had the heart to watch her suffer the pain of reincarnation at the price of her life!"
Lao Liao's accusation made the robe arouse an unpleasant feeling, which is very rare. If it wasn't for the fact that he was very fond of Lao Liao, he might not be able to help but want to take action against Lao Liao—could he have been dissatisfied with his decision back then? Did you actually feel remorse? Robe felt a slight fluctuation in his state of mind.
"Back then, the silly girl was in so much pain for you. You didn't want to respond to her, so why show up now? Her life is not a pawn in your hands, and you should always have the opportunity to choose yourself."
The person in front of him was obviously his savior, but Lao Liao didn't like it very much.
No matter how good the robe does, Lao Liao knows that he has no heart! There is nothing in the world that robes care about. No matter how hot your heart and dedication are, he can't stop him for you and respond to you with the same enthusiasm.
To him, the earth is the cradle for nurturing heirs, which can be discarded by him at will.
If it wasn't for the silly girl, he might not have remembered who "Cang Lang" was.
Whether it is Cang Lang, the bat demon, the alien girl Jing Nan, or all living beings in the wild, they are all passers-by in a long life for Robe.
Hey, but he is also a slightly different passer-by who was raised by him himself!
The robe ignored Lao Liao's indignation, and confirmed it with certainty: "So you want her to forget who she is, so naturally you forget me. You are even willing to make her forget who you are because of this...but it's too late."
After the robe was finished, Lin Luoran raised his head with tears all over his face.
"... Brother."
Lao Liao's indignation turned into undisguised grief, and he felt that the black body in front of him was unstable, and he almost fell off the clouds.
It was obviously a different face, but seeing her face was full of tears, she suddenly felt a thorn in her heart, which made him unable to help but slow down his expression, and spoke in an unusually gentle tone:
"You're finally back, baby."
